[Assistant] The quality of intelligence that was gathered at that time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A number of issues, but ultimately that led to a breakdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they had a very simplistic agenda that can be summed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In few words, reducing Iraq to the opposition, reducing the opposition to the INC, and that all the post-Iraq planning should start from that small group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be given all the resources and support to become the nucleus for re-establishing authority in Iraq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was not normal. It's not a sign of liberated people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Iraqis are used to military coups. When they take place, they tune into their radios.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they obey orders and people know exactly how to respond to it. Instead, there was a day, two days and three days of no authority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Large numbers of people and not using them or utilizing them was not a smart move. By doing that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have made those people part of the problem, instead of they making them part of the solution. They have become part of the organized crime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of the snipers shooting at the Americans, and part of the people who see no place for them in future Iraq. And that was not the idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Check that out, support Dick Chubb. At worst, at worst do the word scramble on the back. There you go. I used to love doing them in the plane dealer when I was a kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stopped doing that. I used to, but I stopped doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got to get that monkey off his back. Listen, if he want to juice for one game, that's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, they got the numbers on what that was paying out out of curiosity. I throw a five on it. Just, just the kicks and giggles. You might as well like that five on five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa. You better cut it. You better watch your mouth. Cut it. Watch your filthy mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The teams that I'd be stunned that didn't make it. Didn't make it. Didn't make it. Oh, Buffalo, Cincinnati, uh, Kansas City, the Chargers. You'd be stunned if the Chargers didn't make it. Yea, I'd be stunned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That terrible division that they in? I don't think it's that terrible. They in the NFC. Worst case, they'd be the second, they still make it on the wild card thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I wasn't an NFL employee, I bet you on that one. But I can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, there you go. I would get a Colts a chance. The Colts? I would get a Colts a chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of the two headed monster that they, I mean think about it, if they run, they got the dude from the Eagles, the OC from the Eagles, so they're bringing the RPO. RPO with Anthony Richard and Jonathan Taylor? Are you kidding me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but in the same breath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Richardson in there, now I gotta worry about the run, him running the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, the one thing, the one bad thing about Jordan Love is when he did have his opportunity to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had Devontae Adams and for some odd reason they couldn't hook up. You telling me you can't get right with the best wide receiver in the league? But wait a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm, and I bet you like 60 of them was to Devante. But I will say this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Rams, the Rams depend on Matt Stafford. I mean, if Matt Stafford, I think he's cooked, but if he's back to the old Matt Stafford, then they obviously they got a shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Falcon, shout out to Nathan Zgur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I told them that they was a couple of years, they was going to win the Super Bowl in like a few years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Rams, Green Bay Lions, Jetson Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is he between the, just between the browns? It's really between the browns, the jets, and the lions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jared Goff has no choice but to have an unbelievable season because they've already drafted his replacement with uh, the kid from Tennessee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gon' pick the brows, that's what you about to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we, we narrowed it down to three. That's the Browns and the Lions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna jump on this Jets bandwagon and I wanna say that the Jets, but the division at the end is tough because they got Buffalo and Miami.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even the Patriots in there, so that scares me. But the Browns, the Browns is the same way. I think it gotta be Detroit, cause it's cause they in the NFC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't necessarily think that people were out on Deshawn because of that. I think they were out because of the coat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's what it was. I don't think people don't believe in Deshaun. I think people don't believe in Kevin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to- I'm trying to get his legs underneath him off his line. I'm trying to think of a situa- Is the closest situation to him Michael Vick? Yes. Almost. Kinda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike Thomas was hot when he was playing. Them little five games, he scored like four times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alvin Kamara, he getting suspended for the year I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, but you know who they got is the DC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing we gon' find out this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, listen, they only gonna be there until the Cincinnati have to cut them contracts. Uhm, I'm shocked that they're fourth. I am shocked by that because when you think about who we have, I mean, Amari Cooper's the only guy like that comes up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's what makes it like, head scratching at day four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I guess, you know, it was a crazy time last year because every team that has good wide receivers, like the top elite, they might be paying one, but the other ones are on rookie deals. So it's kind of like, like Cincinnati, right? They're not on the list, but they got the best receiver score because two of their receivers is all rookie deals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only one that's guaranteed, no, the one, the brown, the rookie, the wide receiver breakdown, yeaah, right there. Okay, go ahead and talk to him. The only one that's guaranteed that we know is good is Amari Cooper. The rest of them is all we think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's Mike, it's a healthy Mike Thomas versus a Mark Cook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No it ain't, because if Baltimore stay healthy, they all productive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's he done? He's a pretty good receiver. Nah, I tell you what, they dropped some balls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, he had a great catch. He had a very historic. He's gone off the deep end. Yeaah, he did with that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So one, one out of, when did they win that Super Bowl?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a rookie. He was a rookie that year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think he was elite either, he was just big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cincinnati's got Tyree. Buffalo's got Stefan Diggs. San Francisco has Deebo and Kittle. Who else did we say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please, let me know it, cause maybe he did. I didn't hear nothing about him last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, Justin Jefferson had 1,800, Tareq had 17, Devontae had 15. Hold on, he had 1,800? Yea, yea, 1,800.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AJ Brown had $14.96, Diggs had $14.29, CD Lamb had $13.59, Jalen Watto had $13.56, Travis Kelsey had $13.38, Devontae Smith had $11.96.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terry McLaurin had $11.91, Amon Ross St. Brown had $11.61, and Mark Cooper had $11.16.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These is like, them is a thousand now. That's a thousand. So that's why it's like, elite to me is like, it's gotta be like at least 1300 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now if Deshaun Watson goes back to prom, Deshaun Watson, Mark Coopers get 13 or 14.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So DPJ can get a thousand. So we should have, we can have three thousand yard receiving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let me ask you this. What if they did get de-hopped? Could that happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can the girls, if they got D-hop, could they realistically do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, you would think that that's how he's gonna get his money anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think it's a guy who wants to, to show that he belongs here. I think that's the most, the key thing for him is to show like, hey, you know, yeah, I might've went second round, but I'm still good enough to be in the NBA. I think for him, it's getting his feet up under him and getting some confidence, you know, finding out what


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did growing up in high school, maybe in college, you know, seeing what works at the NBA level. I mean, you're going against guys who.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either in their first or, or in their second year or in their first year in the NBA. So the skill level, you should be, skill wise, you should be right there with everybody else, kind of parallel to everybody else. I just think he wants to find the success, see how, you know, these coaches coach, see how he can mesh with some of these players and points wise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd be happy to see him with 15 points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is he a better one-on-one player than Karis Levert? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He needs structure. That's it. He needs to be more of a structural basketball player. Right now he's a, he's a pick up guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, is uh, Kobe Altman and Andrew Berry friends?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they both mortgaged their future and then they decided to take this off-season to get a lot of experience, post-season experience to their rosters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the only, but the, the guardies is the only ones that won't jump on that train.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That fight reminds me of when I was with the 49ers and Jimmy, Jimmy War fought DeAndre Hopkins. It was hilarious. Cause Sherwin was in the background and he put his helmet on before he went in there. And I was like, so business decision right there. Smart man. But they was getting after it. It was a good fight. They both took their helmets off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be honest with you, D-Hop didn't want to practice. I don't think he wanted to practice today because D-Hop was mad that Shurm wasn't practicing. They wouldn't let Shurm practice because he was coming off the Achilles injury. So when he found that out, he was kind of like, I don't really want to go against nobody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think he really just wanted that day off. So Jimmy, we're doing one-on-ones, D-Hop and Jimmy lined up, and D-Hop runs like a stop route, meaning he ran like 10 yards and he stopped, and he like pushed, he like pushed Jimmy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He catches the ball like Jimmy went for the ball. He missed it. I think DeHop catches the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And D-Hop kinda like pushes him in the face. And we like, I'm looking at it like, oh here we go. And Jimmy keeps swiping at the ball, trying to punch the ball. He like pushes Jimmy in the face and Jimmy just starts swinging.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his helmet comes off, D-House helmet comes off, and Jimmy just with the left clean, you know. I was like, ooh wee. So yea, it got to go. It was, it was wild. It was wild. I'm sure y'all, it's on the internet, I'm sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when Josh Naylor hit the home run and he did the rock da baby on the dude, he was all for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With J go on vacation, J is on vacation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, will I ever get a phone, if I ever get a phone call like that I'ma laugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's nice to see them hitting the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that means we gotta keep rolling with Quon Trio?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean right now you got. I'ma tell you right now. Yeah. If Kyle on the mound, you can just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why can't we go on a run like Cincinnati, man? They ripped off 12, 13, 14 straight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the frontier today, the IMC's port of Demeter was attacked by militia insurgents. Reports are sketchy, but indications are that the refueling facilities sustained major damage in the battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Numerous casualties are indicated, including the mutineer James McAllen, formerly believed missing in action. High command in the IMC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clementine, are you alright? Luke's not with you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clementine, can you, can you please watch Sarah?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's upstairs. Just distract her. And don't tell her anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll be safe inside. Just don't open the doors for anything. We'll be back soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did he say his name? Did he say what his name was?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look Clem, just tell us what he looked like. What was he wearing? Did he sound different?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know these are bad people, sweetie. They will do or say anything to hurt us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have to leave now, sweetie. Before he comes back with more bad guys. But it's gonna be okay. Let's just go get your things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clem, I don't know what he told you, but William Carver is a dangerous man. He's the leader of a camp not far from here, and he's very smart. We were lucky to escape. Look, I'm sorry to involve you, but now that he's seen you, you'll be safer with us. We have to leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can't be sure. It's been a week, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gotta be out of the woods. We can't be sure. They might be tracking us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You didn't tell him anything about us, did you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just talk to the rest of them. They trust you. See what you can find out. I'm gonna go find Luke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what's the deal with your friend here? Yes, we were just talking about this Kenny. What do you make of him, Clem?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well watch your back. Nick, scan the trees with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey my loves, here comes a little summer greeting from me. We are in the last month of summer now, but it's still so green and flowers everywhere. So I'm glad that there's no signs of autumn yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I finally felt the inspiration to sit down in my studio to edit a new video and connect with you all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Filling my heart with beauty and new energy after a long winter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] July is holding the breath. The summer is peaking and so many things are going on at the same time with never-ending work with the garden and the house and too many social events craving one's attention. The most intense month of the whole year. And August is breathing out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each month really has its own energy, and they are all needed for the balance. But I have to admit that the end of summer always feels like a calm embrace and makes me feel so much more relaxed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one of the best things about the late summer is that all the hard work you did earlier in the year finally gives fruit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I spent a lot of energy on the garden this year and I'm so grateful for that now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never felt so connected to a garden before. I really feel like it's starting to become like that garden I've always dreamt of. Full of herbs and vegetables, but also wild flowers and areas where nature is in full charge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a really big garden and most of the garden is just trees and wild plants growing naturally without the help of humans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But no, I love to have the forest growing wild around our house. It creates a magical atmosphere. And I like to keep that beautiful, wild environment while adding some really good plants and flowers so that our garden becomes a place where nature and insects can thrive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as I said earlier, summer is a very busy time of the year because there's so much you want to squeeze into these three months of summer. We often have projects on the house or outside that we need to fix before it gets too cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In May I started what I thought was a weekend project. To paint the garage. I had no idea how much work and energy that would actually take.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in the end of June everything was finally painted. If you compare it to how it looked like before. It is glowing now. And I'm so happy every time I see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the beginning of summer we also found out that we had a water leak in a pipe just outside our house. And Yuan has been working a lot with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now in July, the last details were finally fixed and Johan could start covering the hole again. Is it going good? Nice!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was such a good feeling to finally see that huge hole in our garden disappear. And one more project of the summer was done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While Johan was working with the water leak, I decided to get started with the wood. It has been out drying for a couple of months, and it was about time now to take it in on the roof so that it's drying good to use for the winter to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if there is so much work to do every day, we take every moment we can to do something fun and to really enjoy the summer. Especially in the beginning of summer, when the nights are bright, we go on some little adventures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another late night in July, just before we were going to bed, I got an idea for a photo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to take a photo of me and Johan in the beautiful midnight light for a thumbnail from my previous video. Johan was really tired and ready to get some sleep. But he said yes anyway and dressed up in the tailcoat and joined me out in the forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to take the photos by a beautiful abandoned farm in the middle of the forest. We have been here many times before and I have always loved the midnight sky from this place. We have also had some strange experiences here that I would love to share with you in another video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a lot of energy from the past on this land and both me and Johan are very sensitive to that and pick up a lot of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though it was a long time ago someone lived here and the buildings are falling apart, it feels like there is so much life going on here still, and I feel a deep respect while being here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem with being here though, is that no matter how much mosquito repellent you have, they still gonna eat you alive. It's so much mosquitoes that you can't be outside for too long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, by the way! No!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's, uh, our wedding anniversary. Three years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yes, this summer we have had more mosquitoes than ever, and it makes it really hard as a filmmaker to keep the focus while working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because this time of the year I am mostly filming in the late evenings or nights and that's when the mosquitoes are most active. And even though I think I handle it pretty well, I can't stop wondering how it would feel like to be surrounded by this beautiful nature without having to be bitten by mosquitoes at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went away on a short trip with my van for a few days. First I met up with a good friend and then I took some days by myself to just explore some new places.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last winter I read about an old mine here in Sweden, where they used to mine for crystal quartz. It hasn't been used since 1946, but the place is open for people to visit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have wanted to visit a place where you can find crystal quartz for as long as I can remember. So I decided to go and check it out. It's a little bit more to the south than where I live, but closer to the mountains. It took me only about 3-4 hours to drive there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I had no idea that the area where the mine is located was so beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That area reminds me a lot of the place where we have our cabin, so I felt really at home here. I ended up spending more time just driving around in the mountain areas and explore the nature than being at the mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I went to the mine two days in a row and it was really fun to be there. At first it looks like a gravel pit, but when you look closer on the rocks you see that they shine of crystals everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had no idea how to properly look for crystal quartz and I don't have the right tools. But I did find some beautiful tiny crystals on the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would love to go back here again when I have some more knowledge about how to find crystals. And I would also love to show this place to Yuan, because I know he would find it really interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and my van. Maybe I'm gonna do some work on the computer. It's so nice that I can bring my computer and actually work from the van, cause I have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a little router, so I have internet. That is so luxury. So maybe I should upload something on Instagram tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also recorded a long talk with you that I was going to add in this video, but unfortunately it was more windy than I thought and the wind noise on the video was too loud so I couldn't use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Take care of yourself and each other and go do something you love now. Something that makes you smile. Whatever that might be. I love you and I see you soon again. Muah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for the people that don't know, I do a character called Francis. That's how you discovered me, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's, I think that's one of the things that really killed the character. Like obviously I don't look as weird and as gross, but uhm, on top of that, like people know it's a joke now. But there's still plenty of people who don't know, and even if you know it's a joke, shit, I know Breaking Bad isn't real, I watch Breaking Bad. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, I talked to my YouTube rep and he's just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think you could do Francis without the swearing and without the anger?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could you do Breaking Bad without the meth and without the violence? No, you can't. What are you talking about? I don't know what you're talking about. That is the entire character. But that's YouTube now, because a robot can't tell the difference between satirical swearing and real swearing. They can't tell the difference between satirical fighting and real fighting, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the first, now they say if you swear in the first third of a video, like that automatically gets monetized now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard about that. I know that Sony has now started censoring games in the West. Have you heard about this? Like a lot of those little weird Japanese games where you can touch girls and stuff. And if you want to censor that, I guess that doesn't bother me because I never played those games. But Devil May Cry 5 got censored in the West. And it wasn't censored on the Xbox. It wasn't censored on PC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was censored on the PlayStation, like why? For us. For us, right? That's insane. And so somebody at Sony said, you know, they want to stay with current trends and also they don't want to get sued.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't get sued for like accidentally exposing somebody's kid to like a titty or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially because they're rated, right? Like they're rated M, sure, A for adults only. I mean, those games exist and we have a rating system for a reason. You can set your PlayStation, I'm sure, I'm sure, I don't know if this exists, but I'm sure at some point they set it so the PlayStation accounts can


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's absurd, right? I don't know, I grew up with my dad's magazines from underneath his couch, so I was looking at porn at an early age, and I probably didn't turn out that great, but I didn't turn out that fucked up either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number one, I don't have any kids myself, so I can't speak as a parent, but I can say that I think parental control is where all of that should really begin and almost end, right? Like if you are not watching what your kid is watching, then you probably need to do a better job, no offense, right? I know there's people out there working two jobs and there's people out there who don't have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be entirely honest with you, I saw nothing too crazy hardcore. I saw Hustler Magazine and stuff growing up. I saw Penetration and I remember reading uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Hustler magazine, when it had like, uh, a section on like, weird fetishes, and amongst the fetishes, and I don't agree that this is a fetish that was in there, was like, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, somebody getting transgender surgery, right? And like they explained the process of how they changed the penis into a vagina, and like I read that, that didn't mess me up, I don't have a problem with that. I read another one about people who like to eat, like very not comparable to trans people here, but it's also in the same magazine, Hustlers comparing them, not me, but like people who would eat each other's shit and play with you, those crap, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you into scat now? Did that affect you in like a way that you like wanna eat people's food or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your average 14 year old came across Pornhub. I don't think it's the most damaging thing in the world because I saw porn DVDs when I was a kid. I saw porn tapes as a kid. And so actually I'm a really boring person. I'm about as vanilla.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As it comes. I want a girl to consensually do stuff to me while I consensually do stuff to her. And none of it's weird. It's all penises and vaginas and just normal sex. That's it. That's the only thing that appeals to me.

[Assistant] And when I was over for a pool, for a pool party, their kid fell down. And they, the kid didn't cry. The kid just fell down. And then the, the mom went over and swooped her up. And she's like, Euro, let's have some fun. That just changed the topic, right? And later on, I asked her about that. I was like, your kid is tough. And she goes, no, no, no, no. My kid, the first time she fell down, she cried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I panicked. I freaked out. And so that affected my kid because she thinks something's wrong. But I read in a parenting book that I shouldn't freak out. I should act like it's perfectly normal to take a fall because then it becomes perfectly normal. And so what I'm getting at here is I wonder how much of it is our overreaction to what kids are saying that fucks up a kid, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, the human experience is really weird and I feel like we're too guarded and I feel like we're too, you know, I don't mean, don't get me wrong. When we talk about pure freedom of speech, there's people out there who really abuse that and do some really terrible shit. Less than six weeks ago on the Capitol steps of my home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, now we can shout those fuckers down, right? Like fuck those guys. Let's get up there and let's counter process the counter process. Let's put them, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, like when Alex Jones got banned from like YouTube, I kind of said I got it. And I made a video saying I got it because he was like openly harassing like uhm, you know, the parents of Sandy Hook and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that's what they said they banned them for and that's why they banned them. No one should be allowed to name and harass the parents of Sandy Hook. They're not public figures, man. They're living private lives. Leave them alone. If they become public figures, maybe. But even then, I hate that we rip public figures a new asshole and say they just deserve it because they're in the public eye. That sucks, right? But whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But once they really started banning every conservative voice and it became a movement, that's scary. That's really scary because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think conservatives are innately evil. Some choose to be evil, obviously, right? But I think there's a lot of good, cause I come from Southwest Virginia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're not voting for Trump because of his immigration policies. They're not voting for Trump because he grabbed them by the pussy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're voting for Trump because he said, we'll open the coal mines again, we'll give you guys jobs again. And they're gonna vote for him a second time in the hopes that he'll be able to do it. And they truly believe that Democrats are not letting them go back to coal, you know, because they don't really understand. And that's what Trump is telling them. They're not bad people, they're just conservatives. I don't think you're innately evil for being a conservative, and I don't think you need your voice squelched just because you're conservative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like Trump anymore than anybody else. I'm not a Trump fan. I don't think he's a great person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even think he's that good of a president. I just, I don't, you know, it's not my cup of tea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's fascinating that people can get that taken away from them. And don't get me wrong, I advocate if you have Twitter at home, stop using it. It's bad. It's a, it's a bad experience and I don't think you should have to put that on yourself. But a lot of us have to do it. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I actually, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recently just went on a huge banning spree because I got tired of like hearing the same asshole saying the same stuff and I was like, I don't want to give him that little


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've built a business out of my home that's worth a million dollars. If I can do that, I don't understand why you can't do that. If you got YouTube on your phone, if you got Twitter on your phone, you can build a business like I did and instead you spend your time


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm being entirely honest, I was there at one point when the internet was brand new, right? I would play this mud out of Texas A&M and when the web was brand new and I discovered forums and all this stuff, yeaah, I was angry. And I would post on the earliest days of 4chan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I would, I would go to Christian message boards because I was jealous of people who still had the religion because I wanted to have that. I wanted that comfort. I missed the comfort of believing in God and I would post like anti-Christian messages on these Christian forums and I'll post like pictures of Tubgirl. Don't Google that if you ain't seen it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, Google it. It's fire. Yeah, it's up there. And I would like, I would, you know, I was an angry, angry, hurt person. But even in my angriest and even in my hurt, I never tried to ruin a career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I, even my anger is even my worst, I didn't try to destroy somebody's life. I didn't swat somebody. I didn't, I don't understand that. That's the part that I don't get. Like, you know, cause here's the thing, like I've got swatted 10 times in the last two years now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I answer the door to a cop with a loaded gun. And I get it. It's no big loss if I get shot. Because I'm dead. I can't lose myself. I'm gone. I'm in hell or heaven or in probably the abyss, right? I don't lose anything. But that cop has to live the rest of his life as the guy who shot a YouTuber, right? And goes famous for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have been like genuinely concerned because I said something else strange or something like that, right? But I, I, but most of the time I think it's just these same shitheads over and over again. And so it's now finally gotten to the point where the cops just call me and they're like, Hey Boogie, are you feeling okay today? And I'm like, I'm getting on a plane in an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They show up with, uh, two or three paramedics, they show up with a fire truck with two or three fire, and two police units in Northwest Arkansas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a huge waste of resources, taxpayer money. They're not doing much in Northwest Arkansas because we're a really safe community, man. We got like 1.5 million people in Northwest Arkansas, but like somebody gets shot and it's, it's news, right? Nobody gets shot. Nobody gets hurt. Nobody gets beat up. There's no crime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's hardly any homeless people and they're all being taken care of, the ones that are there. That's a great area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeaah, so when you think of Arkansas, whatever you think of, like two cousins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the area I live in is in Northwest Arkansas and it's like super progressive. So if somebody shops at Walmart, that money comes home to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we got all the money in the world in Northwest Arkansas. I bought my dream home for a quarter million dollars and I've owned it for four years and it's now worth 310,000. That's how fast the area is appreciating it, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that Walton spend their money there and they build museums and amphitheaters and all kinds of cool shit. And like, I'm a fat guy and I like food and there's so many restaurants, like you can't, it's insane how many restaurants there are and we have the high end stuff, we have the five star stuff, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is and it isn't because when you eat at a five star restaurant, you eat very reasonable portions, and so I will tend to treat myself at nice restaurants because I'll get a reasonable amount of food. But if you go cheap and you eat at Chili's, Chili's brings you like three thousand dollars worth of shit. They don't care because it's all cheap garbage, right? That's why you get a fattened bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm still struggling with my eating disorder quite a bit, but, but to say Northwest Arkansas though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I moved there 25 years ago and I believed when I moved there, I'd moved to the nicest place in the world. And now that I've been to LA and New York over and over and over again, and I've been to Orlando and I've been to Tennessee and I've been, I've been to Seattle and Portland, but I've been to Boulder, Colorado.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, like I own two gaming stores. And so what's crazy about this? I've told the told the story earlier today on the history podcast. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We live two hours away from Harrison, Arkansas. Do you know who lives in Harrison, Arkansas?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he preaches there every Sunday his hatred and bigoted shit. So my trans friend wanted to found a gaming store in Northwest Arkansas and we called it Gear Gaming. And originally when they founded the place, they couldn't afford it. So I bought a ton of match cards off of them so they could afford to get the bathrooms done and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we built that store and registered it as an LGBTQ plus safe zone. And if you roll your eyes when you hear safe zone, we're a safe zone for everybody. It's not just LGBTQ, we're a gaming store. You're going to come in, you're going to play games, you're going to have fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you are a uhm, LBTTQ person and you're struggling, you're getting harassed, somebody's fucking with you outside of the store, we have an advocate there all the time, 24 hours a day, if you need somebody to talk to about problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They'll talk to you and we'll talk to you about straight white problems too. Don't get me wrong, but we were registered as an LBTTQ plus say so we're going to call Olivia and Olivia is going to talk to you and help you out. Right? Wow. And so they came to me and said, we want to open a second store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got, they got mad at us once and they've said stuff about us once and they like talked about protesting and they never protest. That's the only thing that's ever happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I don't know if, if that was when, like, we built the, I don't think it's gonna happen. So, for the most part, here's something I've discovered, and this is one of the reasons I get so mad about how we fight po, politically these days. Right. For the most part, when you leave bigots alone, they tend to just sit in their shitty little town of Harrison and rot till they die. Right. And they don't really, like, affect shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the mind of let the bigots be bigots and they, until when they harm somebody, you kill them, right? If you, you heard a person to call her, you heard LBGT, you could remember, you kill them. Like that's what you do. Or call the cops. Or just go ahead and kill them. You didn't do that yourself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm a wimp, but, but I'm saying like once you start, once you start actually, you know, hurting people, then you have to be hurt. That's how it rules, right? But if you're not hurting people, you're just sitting there being a bigot in your shitty little town and shitty little Arkansas, and you preach shitty little hate to a bunch of shitty little people, let them be shitty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's the thing, like, it's a gaming store, so when we say for profit, it means we earn nothing, like we, we break even, but we, the intention is to make money. So a lot of people will say, well, you're not really doing anything good. You're just trying to make money. If you want to make money, you don't invest in a gaming store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In our area, like when I go to Texas and play, it's all like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weird looking straight like men, straight like white men like me, right? Right. But uhm, when you come to Northwest Arkansas, we have a really young and diverse crowd. So we have a lot more women than you would expect and we have a lot more, uh, people in the LGBT community or LGBT community. And we have a really cool diverse crowd. It's really surprising.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's something, that's something I always tell wizards of the coast like when they're trying to target like women as their demographic or when they're trying to target like non disenfranchised white men or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your, if, if I, if I could fuck models, right? I would not be playing Magic, but that's why I spend my Fridays playing Magic, cause I can't fuck models, right? I don't own a yacht. If I was a good looking girl, I'm not gonna spend my Friday night at a Magic shop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna spend my Friday night with some sugar daddy taking me out to awesome places, right? Or like a good, handsome man who becomes my husband one day and have him take me out to great experiences. I'm not gonna sit in a Friday night magic shop with a bunch of sweaty nerds, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, absolutely. They are. No, you're joking. You're laughing. But they have really changed their demographics to where they are trying to get a much more diverse audience through the door. And they're successful at my store. So I don't know if they're successful the rest of the world, but they really kind of like, I got a letter from somebody at Wizards that goes, I should not repeat this and I'm going to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a letter from somebody at Wizards of the Coast when they started their new Magic of the Gathering Arena Streaming Program and I volunteered to give them my exposure, which I charged tens of thousands of dollars for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really like a lot of what he has to say, but he's a good YouTuber. He's very successful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I sided with him one time on a topic. They're like, we're done. We're done. Wow. We'll give it to somebody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which like a lot of people ask me why I don't abandon the game. I love the game. Their politics doesn't really affect the game. The game is incredible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But don't forget, according to the internet, I am, uh, I am, uh, homophobic, I'm problematic, don't forget.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are people in the LBGT community who will never know me as anything but homophobic because they heard one thing about me and that one thing is all they'll ever need to hear and they'll never listen to anything else, right? And their mind is so made up that right now when I tell them that I've been an ally, I've been a card carrying equal rights


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, campaign member since the, the organization was founded, right? When I tell them that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and so it makes me really anxious when those people believe lies about me. I want to try to reason with them, but like my therapist has said many times, you can't reason with unreasonable people. The people on Reddit who astroturf me, the people on forums, on Twitter who attack me, these people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are unreasonable. They are purposely obtuse. And you can't, you can't change delusion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you, if you've ever known a schizophrenic, I've known one schizophrenic and you can't tell him that voice ain't real because that voice is real to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and the narrative that I'm homophobic, that I'm problematic, that I'm a piece of shit is as real to them as the voices in a schizophrenic's head. How can I, how can I ever change it? So you're right, fuck them, but I don't wish ill on anybody. I don't, I'm never gonna wish ill on anybody. I wish nothing but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some sort of peace and love in this world, which is unobtainable, but you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always wanted to act and I did like one act play and I did debate classes and I did like, uh, extemporaneous speaking, uhm, and I wanted to be an actor so I took college courses and in the second semester of my acting classes my, my professor pulls me aside and he goes, have you ever thought about radio? And I'm like, why radio?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he goes, well, you really don't have a leading man body. And I'm like, what about John Candy? What about like Chris Farley? What about these guys? They're big, because they're one in a billion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A normal actor is one in a million. Those guys are one in a billion. Do you understand that? And you're not gonna beat that guy. I'm like fuck you, right? But I gave up. I dropped out of his class and I just gave up. I'm like I'll never act, I'll never be on television, I'll never have my dream. I guess I'll just go eat myself to death and die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then 2006 rolls around and I upload my first YouTube video and people think it's funny. And I'm like, Oh, I might be able to entertain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then eventually I created the very first Francis video and it didn't do anything. The second Francis video did and Ray William Johnson found it and he called me a genius and like I went holy fuck if this guy thinks I'm a genius and he's the number one in YouTube at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plus the exposure gave me like 10,000 subs when 10,000 subs really meant something, right? And it was enough to light the fire, and I'm like, I could do this. But originally, the very first video I uploaded was all about how fat and ugly and weird I am, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanted to serve as a bad example, and I hope maybe these days I serve as a good example, but at that time I just wanted to say, look how fat and gross and ugly and fucked up I am and look at my miserable life, don't be me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't do what I did, don't eat the way I did, don't act the way I did, don't make the choices I made, laugh at me, poke fun at me, just don't fuck up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do, and I think a lot of people related to me as well because they were in the same position in their lives. And it's really fun as a, it's really funny because as I've dug my way out of that hole, I've lost a lot of those fans. They're like mad because uhm, I've made some progress, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's okay because I hope that it inspires them to try to make progress too, right? Cause that's the whole message I've ever had. Even though I told you guys I was going to lose weight for a decade and it took a decade before I lost a fucking pound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 12 surgeries to people who go to the website and they gave mine away in exchange for like one YouTube video and I made the video but I'm still proselytizing because I'm so happy with the process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like $30, $40,000. It's like $11,000 if you have Medicare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're doing, they're doing a giveaway and you make a video talking about your life, talking about how bad your teeth are and they're going to give one away every month. And so originally I was hesitant to get the new teeth, but when they told me that they would do that for my community, for my fans, they were going to probably do it anyway, but then I could,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell my fans about it and get that for those people and change their lives. I'm like, well let's go through it. Let's see if it's worth recommending. If it is, I'll absolutely do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the time. I was in pain when I wasn't eating. I was in pain when I was sleeping. I was just all the time in pain. And what's even crazier, I've had back pain my whole life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not surprised. Teeth are so important you don't realize it's such a, cause when you really think about it, when you think of yourself as you, right? You think of your hands, your arms, and your head, right? And then your body. What are people looking at? Boom, right there. Right there in the face, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, people treat you really, really different. It was a huge, huge difference. But the recovery was not perfect. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, uh, went home and started working right immediately, right? And the way they do it, it's a 24 hour transformation. Cause I went to my local dentist and they said, we'll pull all the teeth on the right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we'll pull all the teeth on the left a week later. Then we'll pull all the teeth on the top a week later. And we'll pull all the teeth on the bottom a week later. And then we'll finally feed you for dentures. And I'm like, that's six weeks of shit. I can't afford six weeks off of YouTube. My career will be dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she's like, well that's just how it has to be done. But these guys did it in 24 hours. Right. So I was eating a steak dinner 24 hours after they pulled my teeth. And it felt comfortable. And it felt comfortable. Wow. But what they did is they pulled every tooth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they drill, um, screws into the skull. And then screws into the jawline. And they take one giant plate. And so even the gums are prosthetic here. They're growing over my original gums. All of this is one giant bridge that screws into the screws on my skull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's got a hell of a maintenance routine. I have to do twice as much as I would have had to do when I had normal teeth if I had taken care of my normal teeth. So I have to water pick them every night. I got to brush them every night. I got to floss underneath them every night. I got to use mouthwash a few times a day to keep everything out. Every time I have to eat, I have to now wash my mouth out to make sure I get all the debris out of the corners and stuff. And it's getting easier every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, one weekend, I ended up springing a leak because I was talking too much and I called my doctor and I'm like, dude, I'm bleeding. You know, should I be bleeding? And he goes, oh, that's never happened boogie. And I'm like, really? Because yeah, it's insanely rare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He goes, but have you been eating hard or difficult foods? I mean, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and that's of course fixed it, right? But, but I literally, the sutures on that, the, uh, on the bottom left here, they just spread because I was talking too much because my tongue is connected to my gums and the more I move my tongue, the more. It's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, cuz obviously I don't think you can be as bad as I can. Don't really seem like a meth head, I'll be real with you. Yeah, right. Cuz here's the thing, you may not know this about me, but I can't handle weed. I wish it could. It makes me super paranoid and super nervous. I've never found the right strain, if the right strain exists. I've never been able to take anything hardcore. I do want to take DMT at one point, cuz I hear it helps with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't drink because I come from a long line of alcoholics. I've tried it a couple times, but it also makes me anxious and paranoid and miserable, so I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really have anything to take off the edge. I picked one vice though and look what I did with that man. I got up to 600 bucket pounds off cheeseburgers. Do you have any idea how many cheeseburgers you have to eat in one sitting to get to 600 pounds? You have to go to McDonald's and go one please and like one what? And you're like one of each.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so like, I'll wake up in the morning and I'll be like, alright, uhm, because my PA started cooking, because he's cooking for himself anyway, right? So, I'm like, hey man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make us some, uh, turkey bacon and egg whites, right? I'll get that and that'll be like 350 calories. I'll be like, I've got a good day going, right? And then lunchtime will roll around and I'll be in the middle of work, right? So I'll just grab...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some fruit, and like a banana, and like part of an apple, and just like, put a little peanut butter on it, so there's another 500 calories. I'm like, I'm killing it today. And then something stressful will happen at work, and I'm like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? But it's one of the very few coping mechanisms I have because I can't drink, I can't smoke, I can't do anything else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 250 pounds from my biggest, 150 from surgery. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I got actual breast tissue because I had estrogen in my bloodstream. So I have actual C cup worth of tits up here plus a bunch of skin and fat. And then this lower belly, I showed it off on H3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've showed it off in a YouTube video recently too. I have a meat apron is what I call it. It's literally hangs almost down to my knees in front, right? It makes sex super awkward, but it makes walking and exercise super painful, super awkward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to show this person my body yet, because I'm so nervous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doctor says that I could expect to lose 30 pounds from the first surgery, from the lower part here, cause it's so full of the skin, right? Oh my God. And then maybe another 10 or 15 from the top here, cause I think he's going to do the arms at the same time. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 30, 40, 50 pounds of what I'm carrying right now theoretically could be cut off. Right? It might be as little as 20 in the end. I don't know, but I'm trusting what he says and when he says 30 pounds of skin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I'm really happy about it, but it's one of those snowballing things where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I walked five miles at Universal and if you keep walking five miles a day,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're used to being sedentary, you're going to keep losing weight. And so that's been my major goal. I, I'm, I'm eating shitty now and I hate myself for it. And I can't seem to stop the same way. I have never been able to, but my portion sizes are way better than they've ever been because of the gastric bypass surgery. If I eat too much, I get sick and throw it up. So I don't want to throw up, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I limit myself at about half portion of what you're probably going to eat most of the time, because otherwise I get ill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but I just choose the wrong foods. But the plan now has been exercised. So I went through physical therapy about a year ago. And when I went into physical therapy for my back, he's like, look, we need to teach you how to do everything again. You need to learn to walk again. You're walking like a 600 pound guy. You're 380. You gotta get your shit together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so we, we, physical therapy made a huge difference, and I started walking down to the end of the block, and then around the block, and now two blocks, and then three blocks, and now five blocks, now universal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, uhm, I started playing, I gave it up after like it stopped trending, right? And then I came back to it when I wanted to start walking again. I gave it as a reason to walk just up and down the street, then around the corner, then to the local Pokestop and take my dog the whole way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and now I play it every time I travel. I only play it when I travel, but the games, fuck me up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to tell you how much, if I ever liquidated, I'm never going to, so it's worth effectively zero dollars, but I got single cards that are worth two or three thousand dollars.

[Assistant] These were already like highly revered by the time I started playing. Yeah, they were selling for like $20. Right. I met a guy the other day and he's like, you like magic. I'm like, yeah. And he goes, I'm a collector of power. And I'm like, what do you mean? He goes, well, let me show you a card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the card he showed me was an Alpha Black Lotus rated 9.5. There's only a handful of 10.0 rating cards that have ever been found from Alpha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, right, like the centering and shape and color and like, right, all of it's so important, right? And so there's only like a handful of tins that have ever been found. And he had a 9.5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so we, I asked him how much he paid and he wouldn't tell me. So I looked it up. And if he paid 80 to $100,000 for that card, he got a good deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but there's, it's a small market, but you need to remember there were only like a thousand of each alpha rare ever printed. Right. So there's a very limited number of lotuses that were ever printed, then on top of that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alpha, uh, alpha otherwise, you know, because there's other lotuses, but the alpha lotus is about a thousand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then how many of those got damaged from play, right? How many of those got lost or burned, right? And so when you find a 9.5


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, there was a video that was trending recently showing off his magic collection. He wasn't in it, but somebody was showing off all the unopened boxes of alpha and beta and like unlimited and legends and stuff that he had. And it was completely insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a friend build like a deck we took to Memphis, uh, for like a Grand Prix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he comes back empty handed and all he had with him was this deck box originally. And he, uh, he couldn't have gone to the car. We didn't stay at the hotel. I don't know where his deck box is. And so I asked him, like, hey, did you set your deck down somewhere or did you lose it? He goes, nope. I said, where is it at? He goes, the river.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He threw it. He threw his thousand dollar deck into the river. He was so mad at the game. I've seen people do some crazy shit because of this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the first time he did it, they were all like, there's a bunch of people like, awesome, PewDiePie's gonna expose our game to a tremendous number of people. All our collections just got worth more money. Hooray, this is great. And there were a bunch of people like, yeah, but doesn't he kill


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rumor mill, I don't know anybody, Wizards, but I heard rumor mill that originally they were thinking about banning his MTG Arena account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, uh, Owen Turtwald, uhm, is a magic player who got accused of harassment, and when I say accused, it looks like he might have done it, I don't know, but it's some fairly damning evidence it sounds like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are gray areas, right? There are gray areas, and I'm not gonna say that, but, but, they also banned, like the guy I mentioned earlier, the quartering, because of his politics and stuff, and told him he's not allowed to play anymore, and that's weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, he's clearly fucked up a few times. I've been...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always tell all my comedian friends, and I know a lot of comedian friends, I was hanging out with uh, Nimr just, just on Monday while I was here. And I, all of my comedian friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the joke has to be worth it, right? Like, Louis CK did the Parkland shooting joke, and that joke wasn't worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? You gotta, you gotta have a point to your jokes, right? I don't see the joke for the point of the fiber joke, right? I don't think that joke was worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, that's clearly a humbled guy, that's clearly a guy who feels awful, feels terrible, and I know for a fact, I know for a fact, because I barely know Felix at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that the Christchurch shooter mentioned his name ruined him for days, if not weeks. I can't imagine. I can't imagine the pain. And I got a lot of flack for saying that on Twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tweeted about the part, about the shooting and like how awful it was. And then I saw a tweet from Felix and I responded, he's like, I'm disgusted that this man uttered my name and I can't believe this shit. As I responded, I'm like, I can't imagine the amount of pain you're in, Felix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've addressed the people of New Zealand, of course I feel bad about the people of New Zealand, of course I feel bad about the people who lost their lives. I'm not a fucking monster, but can I also feel bad for a fellow YouTuber? Right. Who's got wrapped up in this unwittingly, unknowingly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so fascinating because he clearly, from what little of a manifesto I've read, he clearly


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I think it's his words. I want to further the divide, right? And people fell unwittingly or even willingly into it, right? Cause there's a lot of people out there, and I know I'm gonna get bullied for what I'm about to say, because when you talk about bullies, you get bullied. And I don't care anymore. I got new teeth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but, seriously, there are people out there who


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? All techniques are fair, all techniques are fine, as long as my side wins, right? And they saw the Christchurch shooter say that shit, and they don't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's, and that's so common in the YouTube community, cause uhm, I follow a lot of YouTubers who are also getting hate, and some of the same people that hate me hate other people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to drop names because I don't want to draw any negative attention to people, but there are definitely creators out there who I love, who I know are genuinely good people, but Reddit and 4chan, they think they're monsters, right? And I get lumped into that too. There's plenty of people out there who


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, I just bought a Magic of the Gathering store. I just told you about that, right? And so on screen one night, I was talking about how Magic cards are tax write-off for me, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so that goes viral as Boogie298 admits to tax fraud. Dude, I make so much money and I wrote off like a thousand dollars for the Magic Cards last year. What are you talking about? Okay. The, I made, I paid more in the taxes than most people earn in three years. Uh, you know, no offense. I'm not that rich, but I do okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ain't cheatin'. I'm glad to, I'm glad to cut a nice big check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm fortunate and it's my job to cut that check. I ain't Amazon, I ain't Activision, I ain't trying to pay zero. I'm trying to pay my fair share.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and I are probably, you and I are probably in that Trump bracket, the one where we made it worse for everybody. Like if you're near the top, you got breaks and then those breaks are getting paid by for the upper middle class and the lower upper class, right? And we're probably both right in that area and doing pretty good for ourselves, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She got half, no, no child support. My wife was actually pretty generous when we got divorced. She wanted what she was entitled to and she was entitled to half in Arkansas, but she didn't really want much more. And she was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, you know, she could, she could definitely try to make a bid for the business and say, uh, I helped build that business. I was in every Francis video. She could easily try to do that, but she had no interest. She just wanted to leave me happy, but she wanted to make sure that the rest of her life is going to be taken care of too. And I wanted the same thing. So it wasn't a big deal. It did. It's still a big financial hit, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but that is also a woman who carried me through my gastric bypass surgery. And if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be alive right now. So it was money well earned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, to some extent, right? Like, I, I, I, when I got married, I said, till death do us part, and I meant it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, unfortunately she didn't and that's okay. Right. You know, and honestly I'm glad we got divorced now that we are. So there's, there's some resentment and I wish that we could have made it work and I really wanted to make it work. But then there's the realization that we couldn't have made it work. It just wasn't working. We were not meant to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really believe in God, I don't really believe in fate, but I think we were meant to be together for exactly as long as we were together. And, and she helped me and I helped her and, and we, we got what we got and we needed what we needed and, and now we are where we are and it's, it's how it's supposed to be. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's three things, I think. The first of which is, like, someone once called me the Mr. Rogers of YouTube, and I ain't that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm nothing, I'm definitely not a clean person or anything like it. I'm just, I try to be nice, but I'm not all that nice all the time either. And people who've seen my YouTube videos, who've seen my streams, know that I've got an edge on me as well. Right? I am a hurt, broken person. I have PTSD, sure I get angry sometimes, sure I say outlandish sometimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they, a lot of people just want to break down that Mr. Rogers what they consider a facade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They think I'm not genuinely a nice person, and I'm not to some extent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am a broken person trying really hard to be nice. That's more what I'm like. I try consciously all the time to do what I think is the right thing and to do the nice thing and to be a kind and good person. And I fail all the time because I suck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's one of the biggest things. I think the second thing is people look at me and they see a morbidly obese person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they see that I got the video games I want to play and I got the house I want to live in and I got the girl that I want to date and I got the friends and I got the dog and I got the career and they want that and they don't have it. And if they think very little of me and they think I'm beneath them and they don't have it, I don't deserve it, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a big thing. It's not really jealousy as much as it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it is jealousy, I don't know, but that seems to be another really big part of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're talking, I talked about this with Ethan today too, is talking about being your authentic self, to try to be the most authentic version of myself as I can. And that's tough sometimes as a YouTuber, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because you don't want to upset anybody. You don't want anybody to give you their gotcha moment, right? But I try to be unrelentingly myself. And that's a difficult thing to do because I'm very multi-sided, because I'm broken, because I'm hurt, because I'm depressed, because I'm sad, because I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have all these mental health issues, right? I post-traumatic stressors or I dissociate. It's a struggle, right? And the person that I am when I'm dissociated is very different from the person I am when I'm conscious. And so when I am consciously acting, consciously thinking, I'm always actively trying to be a good person, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I don't know, should I just be a piece of shit 24 hours a day? That seems to be what Reddit would want of me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was the third reason, right? The problem is I've always been so open about my anxiety, so open about my depression, they know I'm a target, right? And I will respond on Twitter. I will respond on Reddit. When that tax evasion thing came out, another example, here's a story I love to tell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The very first girl I ever dated, I met her at the age of 15. She was 14. I lost my virginity to her when I was like 16. She was 15. And we were best friends until she died two and a half years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We both had an edgy sense of humor because we both grew up in abusive homes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so we love to make jokes about death. We'd make jokes about all the dark shit. And her, one of her favorite catchphrases was, I hope you get cancer. I hope you get cancer too. I can't wait till you die of cancer. And the reason she said that is because she used to work hospice. As a teenager, she would set with dying people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I hope you get double cancer. Well, what is double cancer? Like that's funny, right? You've got a dark sense of humor. That's hilarious. What is double cancer? Because I hope you get a cancer so bad it gives you a second type of cancer. I hope you get like ass cancer and dick cancer or whatever. And so that was her catchphrase for years. Like, I hope you get a double cancer. Hope you get double cancer. So she got cancer. She got breast cancer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause she was a very well endowed woman and she didn't, it went on for a while. She ended up getting the mastectomy and she fought it for like three years. And remember this is my best friend. And we talked on the phone every week, sometimes every day. And, and we'd been, we'd known each other since we were three years old and we dated from 15 to 22, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she's dying and it's miserable and I go to visit her a couple of times and it's heartbreaking but she's got a dark sense of humor and I got a dark sense of humor so we would tell jokes all the time, the worst jokes. And the final conversation I get to have with her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's three days before she passed. And I'm at a party at my house and I sneak off to the bathroom. And she calls and she's like, hey, am I dying alone here? I haven't heard from you in like five days. I'm like, I'm sorry, I was just working stuff. And she's like, I think this is going to be it. And I'm like, what do you mean? She goes, I'm dying. I'm like, I don't know what to say to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said, you know, did I ever tell you I'm sorry that we didn't make it work? You know, I'm sorry for all the shit we did to each other. And I was, she says, yeah. She said, did I ever tell you I was sorry? And she's like, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so we made our apologies and we made our ends meet. And I told her, I said, I'll always love you, I'll always have, you know. And she said, I love you too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she goes, can you fucking believe I got double cancer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I laughed so hard, and she was laughing. And I'm like, I told you when we were kids, you were going to get cancer because you said that shit all the time. She goes, well, you were right. Karma's a bitch, you know? And that was the last conversation we ever had. And then three nights later, I was in Hot Springs with my wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I get a phone call from her husband and he's like, she passed tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I like, I sent her like a gift package and it had one of these little koosh balls and if you remember those little rubber band balls and we would shoplift those when we were in high school together because we had both broke and we had no money and it was a way for us to like have fun things and, and so she passed holding that koosh ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I told this exact story, and when I got to the dark part, I laughed. I was talking to Andy Melanakis, I was talking to Greek God on a podcast. When I told the double cancer joke, I laughed. And the internet's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they so desperately want you to be a liar. They desperately want you to be a monster. They desperately want you. But it was a huge mistake to even try to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once again, reason with an unreasonable person. Why do I have to prove that to him? I was Danny's friend for thirty some years. We were close through. I know the truth. I don't give a shit what he thinks and that's how you seem to live your life and that's how I need to live mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I grew up on Sam Kenison and Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy, the Delirious set. Do you remember the Delirious set where he drops the F word like over and over? I'm not saying fuck the other one, you know, they'll be DT one. And it's just like, it's defensive and awful and terrible, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Free speech and comedy, right? And then you had George Carlin come in and George Carlin was so controversial when he was making his first HBO specials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perspectives on race I've ever seen in my life, right? And I'm obviously a white man and I'm very privileged for that regard, I guess. They tell me I am and I believe it, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But having dated, uh, several women of color, including Danny who was a woman of color, and getting beat up in high school for dating a black girl and getting the shit beat out of me by bigots over and over again, I feel like I at least can relate. You know? And so, I, I don't know, I do like race sometimes when it's used.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Properly in comedy. I love offensive humor and let's use properly in comedy. I don't think it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people bully on the internet and say it's just a joke, and I don't think that counts, but when you have a point like Chappelle had, when you had a point like Richard Pryor had, or Sam Kennison, or even Andrew Dice Clay, Andrew Dice Clay for stupid people if you never got it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were supposed to hate him for being a prick. That was the entire point. The whole concept. You're supposed to fucking hate him. Right. You're not supposed to idolize him. Same as Rick and Morty. You're not supposed to idolize Rick. You're supposed to fucking hate Rick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But again, you're talking about a generation that's been raised to hate anything, right? Like you can't make a joke, even if you're a person of color, you're not supposed to make a joke about race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's the reality, right? That's the reality. Like Reddit is not reality. Twitter is not reality. Facebook is not reality. And a lot of people for them, for a lot of people, it is a reality. A lot of people live in a small town like the one I came from. Facebook is about as real as real life can get because there's nothing else going on. Something's happening on Facebook. Nothing's happening here, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so they, I don't know, you get warped and you get, especially when you're living in San Francisco, when you're living in Seattle, right? Like that's the entire culture there. Like here in LA with a real diversity, you've got a tremendous amount of diversity. And of course you guys are going to talk about that here at this table, right? But I don't think you're gonna hear a lot of that in San Francisco because it's a pretty one-sided argument in San Francisco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fat shaming, quote, fat shaming jokes in, in the thing. None of that's actual fat shaming. You wanna see fat shaming, check my Twitter timeline at some point, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But none of what they did in that movie was fat shaming. And a lot of people were like offended for me. Like you can't do that. It's offensive, right? I've seen skinny reporters saying you can't say that, you can't do that. Bullshit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt represented in that movie. I liked seeing one of my favorite characters in one of my favorite franchises being big and fat and even though there was the joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're at a point now where Jerry Seinfeld, you couldn't get more clean cut than Jerry Seinfeld. Jerry Seinfeld doesn't want to perform on college campuses anymore. That's the point we're at. He tells other comedians don't perform on college campuses. That's a problem. That's a real problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I made jokes about my own abusive childhood. I made jokes about, uh, getting molested as a kid. I make jokes about all this stuff. I just don't do it publicly anymore because you really can't. Uh, you know, I've said, I made those, I still make those jokes when I twitch stream twitch.tv slash boogie 298. But when I, you know, sometimes I have that marked as mature, but I don't really put it on YouTube as much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's how I coped. And I will tell you a story. This is probably going to get me in trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna tell you a story anyway. This is gonna be the clip that everybody shares on Twitter and gets mad about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you don't know, man, how, I have some real dedicated people who are gonna search your little, every little fucking thing I say and do. They're so desperate to kill me. So, but my grandmother had Alzheimer's disease, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was tough because I never really got to know my grandmother. I only really got to know the disease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here's the thing, if you've ever doubted that mental illness is a thing, go find somebody with the delusions, go find somebody with Alzheimer's, because you can see how the brain rots, and you can see how it's affected the same way any other organ would, the same way your kidneys can go, uh, go bad, the way your heart can go bad, your brain can go bad. And that was having my grandmother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, her death was tragic. It couldn't have been more tragic. She lived so long that her brain deteriorated to the point that her heart and lungs just would not beat anymore. They wouldn't do their rudimentary functions because her Alzheimer's developed so bad it ruined that part of her brain as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so she was a trooper. She fought. She fought so hard. But there was one point where young me, uhm, experienced something really wild. Me and my, my mom were down in, uhm, Kingsport, Tennessee, which is about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 75, 80 minutes away from where my grandfather lives, and my mom's like, I want to go visit mommy and daddy. So, she calls my grandfather on the phone, uh, payphone, and says, how's Memaw doing today? Is she having a good day? Yes, she's real clear, she's real bright, she's real animated, now would be a really great time to come visit, bring the kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we drive that 75 minute way, or 80 minute way, and while that's happening, he gets her up out of bed, gets her dressed, gets her down into her underwear, okay, and then he starts to put her pearls on her, and she gets it into her head that he's choking her, he's gonna kill her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She went to the kitchen to get a knife to defend herself and she went and got a butter knife because they already hit all the regular knives, right? But she found a butter knife and she's wielding the butter knife. We pull up to the house and by the time we pull up to the house, she is out front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, decided that that knife needs to be taken away and hidden. So she grabbed all the other knives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she's burying him in the garden, and it's pissing rain, okay? She's covered in mud. Here's my 80-year-old grandmother, burying butter knives in the garden, in her underwear. My grandfather's standing on the front porch going, out to May, get your ass in this house, you're gonna catch your death at cold, you dumb bitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it made a decision. It decided that this was either the most traumatic fucking thing I'm ever gonna experience and I'm gonna need therapy forever. Or this is funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turned around from the front seat and said, what the fuck are you laughing at?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe she's trying to grow buttercups, cause she's burying butter knives, right? Well, my mom punched me so hard it blacked out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, but that was pretty much where my sense of humor was formed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, and it just was like that for the rest of my life. I laugh at the dark shit. I laugh at my own PTSD. I laugh at my own misery. I don't, I don't try to take...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't try to laugh at somebody else's experiences though. Right? And I think that's a big difference. I ain't trying to make a joke of somebody else who's suffered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't mind joking myself. The video I just released on YouTube, go watch it by the way, was a roast myself challenge. I just made fun of like every old photo of myself that I could. Right. And I think it's funny. I think self-deprecating humor is fine. In fact, it's important. I think it's good. I think it's, every comedian has to start with themselves. Right? If you don't, you can't, if you don't make fun of yourself, you can't make fun of nobody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I want to do now, because I can't do Francis, and the other thing I've really enjoyed is the gaming stuff. So I want to get my audience into it, but it's hard because most of them are there for Francis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you gotta keep in mind, I've got a 12 year old account, so uhm, a lot of that 4.5 million subscribers are just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dead in the water, they don't use the website anymore. Or some of them are actually dead at this point, you know? So like, I've only really got a user base of like a million maybe that really actually pay attention to anything. And out of that million, I think about a third are mostly there because they want to see Francis' videos, right? And there's about a third that are there for the personal videos and about a third that care about the gaming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see tweets all the time. I can't even relate to you anymore. Who are you? You're turning into some sort of soy boy. You're turning into some sort of, Oh, now you look pretty. Oh, I definitely don't look pretty, man. I don't look like this, man. I'm never like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I look like the Michelin Man blew a tire. That's what I look like, Nick. I look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man got burned on a campfire. That's what I fuck up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, these, these I've written over the years, yea. Right. But yea, all that loose skin and shit is miserable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I really want to do, what I really want to do is I want to swear on YouTube again. What I really want to do is break some shit. I want to wreck some cars. I want to burn down my house. I want to be Francis and I want to destroy shit. My YouTube rep is telling me that ain't a thing I can do.

[Assistant] And so if that's a thing I can't do, he said I can do it, I just have to change the formula. I can't swear and I can't be angry and I can't destroy things. Which is the entire character, right? So my friend McJuggerNuggets, have you ever heard of the Psycho series? He's got an app called Storyfire. Go to storyfire.com and download it today. You can also get it off of Android and iPhone.

[Assistant] Schizophrenic to some extent, right? Like, so I have multiple personalities disorder. Not schizophrenia, but multiple personalities disorder. Which, as far as I know, doesn't actually exist. I don't know if it's ever actually been diagnosed, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's the shtick, and so, uh, we're gonna have me work in at my local gaming store that I just bought, and we're just gonna film during off hours, and we're gonna have a lot of extras come in, like flipping tables and destroying shit. Right. And like, it sucks, because I would like to do that for YouTube, but...

[Assistant] If I upload a Francis video, and let's say that Francis video gets 100,000 views, I might get 40 bucks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They know exactly what they're doing, and if they don't, let me tell you what you're doing, YouTube. Number one, you're driving off your user base. Not just your creators, but your viewers. And that's so important. TikTok's a thing now. It's not monetized, you and I can't make videos on TikTok and get paid, probably, but that's where the users are going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause they are advertising them motherfuckers, okay? And also it's a really good app. You can hate it all you want, cause there's a lot of shitty people on that app.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a bunch of heavy people that I follow on there. It's hard to be a heavy person on YouTube anymore. You're not getting anywhere. Okay? But you get somewhere on TikTok.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's harder than it's ever been, right? And it's harder to make it on YouTube than ever, but if you aren't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly the demographic YouTube is targeting and I don't even wanna put words to it cause it's gonna make me sound like a bigot and I don't wanna sound like a bigot, right? But there's definitely a very specific age demographic, race demographic, color demographic, whatever it is, whatever YouTube's magic formula is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will help you if you fit that magic formula. And if you don't, they're not gonna help you. Right. And if you don't get help from YouTube these days, it's real hard to make it. Cause you're gonna have to find the help from somewhere else. Cause I don't think that, I don't think it's impossible to be self-made on YouTube anymore. I don't know if it's possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because your videos won't go into the algorithm. Your videos won't go into recommended no matter what. No, there's no discoverability. If you don't have an advertising budget, if you don't have a way to connections to get other people to come look at your shit, the algorithm will never put you in recommended. I know this mostly because I have a podcast I've been making. It's a gaming podcast complaining about gaming news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm not taking any money from it, I did it to design it for my friends, uh, my friends Alice and Jacob.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I wanted to help build their career because they're Twitch streamers now. You guys take all the money and I'll just show up once a week and we'll just create a podcast and I'll use my name to help you build. But what we found is because that channel has so few subscribers, even if somebody clicks on one of our videos, chances are our other videos still will not show up in recommended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so hard to get into the recommended algorithm now because they're so afraid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so you can use the keyword searches from other people, right? A lot of people have made, uh, a lot of people have made a name for themselves by taking the bullshit lies you see on me on the internet and just putting them all in one video. And there's one girl who I have no hard feelings for at all whatsoever. I watched her video and honestly I thought it was fair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She based it off a lot of bullshit, like saying I was abused by my ex-wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like my ex-wife, well that's why she left me, because I was hitting her or some shit. I don't know, man, I obviously never did that. But I still harbor no ill will, but that's her most viewed video at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And god love her. Good luck with her career. I want her to have a good career. I want her to have good things. I have no heart. All the people that hate on me, I want you to have good lives, man. I've got no problem with it, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hate what you hate. You can't help what you love and you can't help what you hate. I do think hate is counterproductive. And I think that you should use that energy to build your own life instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's really interesting, uhm, because obviously I know people on YouTube and I talk to people on YouTube, right? Because I'm an OG creator, so I have friends and connections, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you talk to them, it's impossible not to empathize with them because of the stuff they've had to fight. Like you saw the child pornography thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like ISIS and shit and like, you know, Wall Street Journal posted about that. Like they're fighting some real demons, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I get it. And the tools that they are using to suppress us also suppress them. And it's maybe worth the sacrifice to keep ISIS and child pornography off the fucking website. I'm, I'm, I don't want those people on my website. So if I have to make a little less money or a lot less money, I get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at the same time, there has to be a better balance, right? Because you're chasing off creators, you're chasing off interesting content. YouTube is starting to look like TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's not a good thing because the whole point of YouTube is it wasn't TV. I don't have cable. I haven't had cable in 15 years. I don't plan to get cable. Okay? And I don't want YouTube to turn in the cable. You know why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but he's like, eh, he's a, got a big knot on his head and he, he, he's in the constant pain because of it and he's disabled because of the constant pain, but he's trying to live a, like a good life and he lives in a small southern town and every time he eats lunch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He takes a video of his lunch, he's like, this is my lunch, this is my lunch, this is my lunch, I'm eating french fries and salmon, goodbye. It just makes me feel so good to know this guy's getting a good lunch. Sounds like vine. Yea, it's exactly right, it's like vertical vine, that's what I call it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pass on my number too, you know, let me know, I'll take some money, man. Cause I can do Francis on there, I've done some stupid Francis shit, like screaming at the audience or whatever.
