[Assistant] These past weeks has been a lot about trying to finish all the ongoing projects that we have and cleaning up in the mess that we had in our life and in our house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The spring is usually a very intense time, because there's always so much to do. But this spring was definitely more intense than usual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I cannot put into words how intense this mouth have been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt a bit stressed trying to keep up with everything, and every time one thing was fixed, another problem popped up. I'm shaking so much right now because I was just gonna take my van to pick up the sunflowers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My van had to go into the car repair mechanic three times this month. And when you live far away from the city, it's quite a project every time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even if we've been busy with a lot of unplanned things happening, I'm fully responsible for feeling a bit stressed these weeks since I started a very big project painting our garage. And for some reason I just couldn't stop until I finished it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I first thought that I would be able to paint our whole garage in one weekend. And that is so far away from the reality of time that I sometimes wonder what's going on in my head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead, it took a month for me where I spent every evening and every free minute I had to paint the garage. No wonder I felt a bit behind with everything else. I guess it's a curse and a blessing I have to go 100% into whatever I'm doing and almost losing myself in a project.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That bird. Enkelbäckasin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they dive really, really fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I look very weird. I think this hat comes from one of our tribe members.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have this bottom left now a second time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's 11 o'clock in the evening and I just finished painting one side of the garage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you think Nanook? I think it looks gorgeous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was a huge wall. The biggest wall in the universe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As it got warmer outside I could finally start to take out some more of my plants. Like all the different kinds of cabbage and also all my sunflowers. Come here. It's time to see the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the sunflowers would be perfect by the huge garage wall that I had just painted. I can really see how beautiful it's gonna be with the yellow flowers against the red color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little herb garden. This whole area in the garden is gonna be only with different herbs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then it was time to get started on the front side of our garage. And that side was so much more fun to paint since it was more colors and details than just a big plain wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though I had so many other things I should do instead of painting or a garage, I just felt so good focusing on the paint and the brushstrokes while listening to an audiobook about Mount Everest. It was like some sort of meditation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course I really wanted to be finished with it so I could let it go. But at the same time I enjoyed it so much. Sunny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how I am. Let's get shitted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is 10.40 in the evening and I'm finally done with the big doors. I don't know what to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I finished a life project. I cannot put into words how intense this month have been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] May was like a big chaotic mess. And there's still...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quite a lot of things going on and a lot of projects, but it's definitely getting better now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish it was like this all the year. You know, you would have so much more time to be out and do things. No, I also love the darkness in the winter. It's something very special. If we would have bright nights like this all the year, I would burn out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the light, it gives you a lot of energy and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rest more because it's dark outside so you cannot really do anything anyway. But I'm really glad that it's bright outside right now and for another two months it's gonna be so amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all the birds singing. We're gonna go for a little night walk with the doggie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are we gonna go to my other pet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was thinking like, I wonder when I'm gonna have to do this again, and how old I'm gonna be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My cow, Stjärna, is now in the village. And uh, yeaah, for those of you who have been watching my videos for a couple of years, you maybe know that I bought myself a cow, I think like 5-6 years ago. She was so cute and sweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the summer she comes here to the fields. But she actually refused to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something happened, like two years ago. Uh, she wasn't really the happy, innocent cow anymore. She became pretty grumpy and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My friend Frida, who is the farmer, she tried to get her on the wagon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so too. I've been visiting her now. Past two days. She just came here like a few days ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I have to stop this video now, because I have to start editing tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not a fun video maybe, it's not, it's not gonna be a production I'm super super proud over, but still it's my life right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, yeaah, I have to start editing it tomorrow because later this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he had played at Ohio State would have been just as good or did he have to go to LSU to get, reach that level? What do you guys think? I think he had to go to LSU.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As good as Ohio State's receivers have been and continue to be, they never had a pair quite that good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right folks, uh, hope everybody's having a great day. We got a ton to get into today. We've got, uh, we're playing a new game. What's it called again? Uh, Truth Syrup. Truth Syrup. I couldn't think of the name of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god. Folks, no joke, don't, you shouldn't, you really should be outside as little as possible, especially if you have asthma, older people, young kids, nothing outside today. Honestly, we should cancel our little league games, I know we probably won't, but it's really unhealthy out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's very, the air quality is awful. Those wildfires in Canada, which most of us are not paying attention to, I honestly thought they were done. Cause we heard about it like in New York, like weeks ago. It's just awful. It's very smoky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess so. Wildfires is hard to put out, man. Especially when it's dry. It's bad weather out there. It's really dangerous. In fact, well, it doesn't matter, but just, especially if you're old or young or have asthma, don't mess around out there today. Uh, obviously we're going to get to, uh, what else are we going to get to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but first we gotta talk about the Guardians. Not only the game last night, but Terry Francona ending up in the hospital. We'll get to that, but Mike's got something to tell us first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, yesterday, right before the game, uh, Terry Francona actually was in the pregame, spoke, and then he, he, he pulled the, the Marlowe-Hale, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of his coaches obviously into the, into his office and told him he didn't feel well. He went over to the Cleveland Clinic. We are very lucky in this city to have both Cleveland Clinic and UH, two of the best hospitals on the entire face of the earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and Terry Francona, unfortunately, you know, listen, he's not a young guy. He's in his mid-sixties. He's spent a ton of time...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, at the hospital recent years, I mean, he's missed a lot of time guys in the last four or five years with a variety of health issues. Now I don't, I don't know what's wrong with him now. Apparently we'll get an update, but he's missed a ton of games, especially the COVID season the year after that. He's had all kinds of surgeries. He's had health issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I don't know, I mean I thought there was a chance he was gonna retire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end of last year when his contract was up and a couple of years ago, remember he missed the end of the season?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we wish him the best, but, uh, uh, I mean, once you're in your 60s and you're having all these kind of health problems, you never know. Listen, I've been critical of Frank Conner this year. I don't think he's done a particularly great job in comparison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I'm not one of those, I, I certainly don't want to fire him, and, but I, I mean, you see that, I mean, so it's, it's a lot of different things on the list, and this is just some of it. But, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even with some of, you know, with some of the mistakes he's made this year, I think on the field he's made, but what he does so well, as you said, you call it the Jedi mind trick, like he...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a great motivator. He's really excellent with young players, which he wasn't earlier, earlier in his career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He just knows how to relate. It's weird because usually people that are 65, you don't think they can relate to 20 year olds. But he does. I mean he does that as well as anybody. That's what makes him a special manager. By the way, how about this. So he's managed 21 years in the major leagues between Philadelphia, Boston and Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His first four years in Philadelphia had a losing record every year. They were bad. In his 17 years managing the American League.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over what, uh, I think 18, it was one year in between Boston and Cleveland. So in the last 18 seasons, including this year, he's been a manager of 17 of those 18 seasons. The worst record he has had,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I first started working for the Batavia Muck Dogs in the minor leagues, okay, so I was the play-by-play guy, but we only did the road games on the radio because my dopey GM of the team thought, well, if we do the home games, nobody's going to go to the game, which is stupid, but okay, whatever. So for the home games, I was in charge of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, media, we had like one reporter that came there, and I was in charge of like statistics, and I did some on-field promotion, I did everything. But one of my jobs was, I, at the end of every game, I had to bring two cases of beer down to the coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and uh, they would just drown two cases and then they'd go out after that, but they would be knocking down two cases. That's a baseball locker room. I don't know about other locker rooms, but in baseball, they're always drinking beers in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, on the field, by the way, Gavin Williams making his second start was sensational.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess the Royals, who obviously are not a very good lineup, but you know, again, four runs to a bad A's lineup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, seven innings, one hit, one walk, no runs, six strikeouts. He was great. Unfortunately, they didn't score until after he left the game and so he doesn't get the win. Now wins, I've said a million times, I don't really care about the win statistic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's not indicative of, like, you look at this guy, Framber Valdez of the Astros, right? His record's 7-6. He's one of the five best pitchers in the American League, his record's 7-6. That's irrelevant, but they should change the rule anyway. Trevor Steffen, who pitched one inning and gave up a run on the worst draw I've ever seen, which we'll show you in a second,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gets the win for the game, which is so dumb because they took the lead with him on the mound and Klosset closed it out. Let's, let's show you this play. Do we have it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go first, let's see, so, alright, let's just set it up. So Gavin Williams played, don't play it yet. So Gavin Williams pitched a great game, mentioned that seven innings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the bottom of the eighth, they replaced him. By the way, he had only thrown like 91-92 pitches. He could have gone one more inning, but because he's a young pitcher, they didn't. I would like to see him pitch in the eighth, but I understand why they took him out. I get it. I'm not being critical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so Trevor Stefan comes in to pitch the bottom of the eighth. It's a zero, zero game. The guardians were doing nothing offensively. They had two chances to score. And guess what happened early in the game? Both times. The guardians had chances to score. Both times. Miles struck rounded into a double play. Oh my God. Counted for four outs and two at bat. So bottom of the eighth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are, it's a 0-0 game. The Royals had a runner on third and I think one out. I can't remember how many outs there were at the time. I think it was one out. And then this play happened if you missed it. I, I, I couldn't believe it. Here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because that was the wa- the wa- he obviously just miscripted or something, but that was the worst-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so that was terrible, so they score a 1-1-0. Now, the Royals were trying to get a runner into scoring position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To increase their lead, and then Bo Nailer, look at this play by Bo Nailer behind the plate. Went from an all-time bad play to an all-time good play. Look at this. Look at this pirouette right here. Let's see Bo Nailer. Take board full. Oh look, aha pirouette gotcha!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be able to almost dive to get that pitch, spin around, I mean pirouette as you said, and you gotta make a perfect throw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Gavin Williams is the better of the two. He throws harder, he's a bigger guy. I think they both can be very good though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they're spending no money in the bullpen. So what you're saying is we're gonna get some big bats after this. This offseason, they have to spend money on the bats. Okay. Because they are spending... Who's the hitting coach? Who's the hitting coach?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Josh Bell is, but that's an issue. You know, they're going to get stuck with that contract. But immediately, immediately, The Guardian should immediately move Miles Starr to the bench.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I wouldn't cut him. Here's what I would do. I would force...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when I make other trades, when I trade Bieber,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They owe after this year. He's been hitting well lately. Eh, he's not, he's not any good. He's, but I, but Miles Straw is guaranteed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they should try to get rid of his contract. And if you trade Bieber, some team would take him if they had to to get, to give up less than a trade. Especially if you traded Bieber to like a big market team. They're like, alright, well we'll take straws, not make, like cause 19 million over 3 years for a big market team is nothing. For the Guardians, it's a big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a quality, quality at bat. Nice job. They needed, you know, you can't afford to lose that game to the Royals when Gavin Williams pitches great. So you get the win against the crappy team. It's a good clutch hit by him. Nice job. And Clausay who had some struggles early in the season has locked it in. He's back. He wasn't got like 25 saves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, right. And, and he's, by the way, extremely underpaid, which is good. And he's locked up for five years and been paying him nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I can give you the number if you want. No, I'm gonna think about it for a minute. I'm gonna throw some names out there with possibilities. Mitch Williams? Incorrect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, I got beef with all these things. I love, Brian Windhorst is awesome, but that's lame to do that. I hate when people come on the show and, oh, there's some awesome stuff, but I can't tell you. Well then shut the F up. I agree. Sam Amico's tweet is embarrassing. We shouldn't even have put that up there. It's a bad job out of Mike. That tweet's embarrassing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but that's just, that's just, there's nothing there. Like, Fedor has some stuff to back that up. Okay? He's connected to the GM. He's spoken to the GM. Maybe the GM lied to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know how fans often accuse us or other people of doing things for clicks? I hate to do that to others. That's exactly what he did there. That's exactly putting something out there for clicks. That's 100% what he did there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you trying to get? Let's think about this too, the times before we answer that question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got it right now. Twenty seven, twenty point seven boards for assist. Twenty point seven boards for assist for Charlotte two years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's his, what's his size? Paul. He's 6'6". Size matters. And by the way, Mike, he shot 40% from three in the year before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you trade for Miles Bridges, there's gonna be some people that can get up in arms because what he did was ugly. Nobody's defending what he did. It's been dealt with in court. Uh, but if demand is allowed to play, we've been through this with Deshaun Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can get him as G said on the Chief because some teams won't trade for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and Steve Vector says he's still gotta serve 10 games of suspension, but who cares? The regular season's just pre-season anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only is it truth serum, but he gets transformed into somebody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrew Berry, you or Paul DeBattista, give us the nerd rankings. Who are the biggest nerds?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Darius, here's the most important question. Why do you not go to the same hairstylist that Earl goes to? All the famous people go to Earl. What's she called again, Earl? A loctician. A loctician. All the famous people go to her. What's her name again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shanti, shout out to her. Everybody famous goes to Shanti. Why do you not go see Shanti?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of Earl, when Earl said that your running mate Donovan Mitchell is better than LeBron James, what were you thinking about that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He put me in a bit. I weigh about a buck twelve soaking wet. Alright, if you walk past me on the street, you'd think I was playing for, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some high school team or something, because I don't look like a professional football player. I got a weird looking batting stance, but I hit some home runs in that game too. Uh, Joe Woods screwed me over. I was great as a rookie. I had a tremendous season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Denzel Ward's off, farting around with his money. I don't know what the hell he's up to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the hell is going on here? Joe Woods is a buffoon, and thank god we fired the guy. Now we got this old bastard Jim Schwartz in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, he didn't steal my position. I welcomed the young guy in because I'm not insecure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you getting? I'm getting a brand new Lexus SUV. That's a soccer mom car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, five, six years ago, I was on a plane with you, sitting two rows behind you, and I started puking on that flight. Did you notice? And were you appalled?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I miss that we don't have Michael Bourne anymore because we like to call him Borny. Borny. We had Borny. Uh, what's the question there? Knucklehead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the thing, I have never been able to share this with you before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I get in trouble. But, uh, I don't know why I've given him like a southern accent because you don't really have a southern accent, but that's what I'm going with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but uh, uh, I took an inappropriate picture


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of a Halloween costume. It was, uh, it was the 1940s. Uh, yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm 87 years old really. Uh, and I didn't know you couldn't wear this particular thing, but I did. And, uh, now Miles straw has a picture of it and he will not throw it away. He told me that if I don't play him every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to stop doing the southern accent. It doesn't make any sense. If I don't keep playing them every day, that uh, he will put that out to the media. So that's why, cause there's no other reasonable explanation for it. Miles straw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, is, well, I was gonna say he's the worst hitter I've ever seen, but I have seen Austin Hedges a lot too. So he's the second worst hitter I've ever seen in my entire baseball career. I think, I think I, from my bed at the Cleveland Clinic at 65 years old, would be a better hitter than Miles Straw. Let's be honest, a guy can't hit a lick, so, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has inappropriate photos of me, that's the only reason that I play him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That shirt off an Antonetti, they're smart guys, but they, uh, they shit the bed on this one, let's be honest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say good day sir. You got nothing for me? Nope. Alright, I'm gonna get on my motorbike and head home. What did you guys think? Fun? Not fun? Why did you rush the end of our segment?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh, you know, I, I got many girlfriends out there and, uh, I mean, this is kind of inappropriate too, so I, I just leave you in front of whichever girl I'm with that night, you know, who knows. This is, wow, woo, wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at this insight you don't get from other places. That was phenomenal times. Really great insight. Oh wow, thank you. I appreciate that. Now we're gonna wrap up this segment. We got a minute?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna wrap this up, I'm gonna give you some Tyvis Powell trivia from his playing career. Oh my gosh. Did he got picks? Let me see if he got some picks. No, no, no. Alright, true or false?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. All right. But not in the regular season. Okay. True or false? Time is forced to fumble in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the final true or false. So Tyvis started his one game in your last year playing in the regular season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He played in seven games that year, one start which you won over Oakland. Yes. In the other six games that he played this season, the Niners were winless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do you ask that then? It tells you a lot about a person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I would like to, I can't wait to be in that good enough shape and I'm hoping that by next summer, certainly by two summers, I got a lot of work to do to be able to play softball. I want us to have a UCSS softball team. Can you play? Yeah, I can play. Don't ask me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a D.H.? You have a D.H.? I don't know if we have enough people though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never, yeah, I mean, have we ever heard of a referee being called legendary? I mean, referees get a lot of scorn, that's about it. You don't get a lot of love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I'm curious, like, what made you decide to be a referee when it all started? Was it something you wanted to be as a kid? Did you want to be a player? Then you said, I'm not good enough, I'm going to be a rep. What happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Mike, the, the USFL Championship obviously is this week. We, we here are selfishly rooting for Pittsburgh because Boogie Roberts who plays on the Pittsburgh team has been a regular member of our show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Canton's only an hour away from here. And so he comes on the show with us usually on Mondays or Tuesdays. He's become a friend of ours. So we're rooting for him to win. They've had a great run here at the end of the year to get themselves in this championship game. But obviously they're facing a tough test and a tough quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, what are you expecting? Expecting this to be a high-scoring game, low-scoring game? Exciting? What are you expecting here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a tough gig, they get shit on all the time. Well my problem is I get caught. Everybody ignores when they do a good job, which is the majority of the time. But the mistakes are highlighted. It's like, in a way being a ref is like being an offensive lineman. You only notice them when they screw up. Right. That's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it is tough. Mike, I was just saying that, we lost you for a second, but I was just saying that, it feels, like being a ref, you guys must relate to the offensive lineman because officials are really like offensive lineman. Nobody notices you guys unless you screw up, right? Like, same thing with the offensive lineman. A left tackle,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could make the, could win 99% of his plays, but he gives up that sack, and that's the only thing we hear about. Same thing with you guys, you can get it right 99 out of 100 times, but you screw up that 100th call, we say you're an idiot. That's how the fans react.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike, last thing, we appreciate the time again, USFL championship game is this Saturday, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, between the referee and the, and the, and the replay, that's something I think should come to the NFL. Being able to change personal fouls, face mask, stuff like that. I think that should come to the NFL. Will it? And is there anything else from the USFL that could work in the NFL?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My great stuff again, everybody be watching Saturday night, the championship game of the USFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Birmingham and Pittsburgh of course. There you go. Thanks Mike, we appreciate the time. Thank you for joining us. Appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole thing frankly had a bit of political theater, uh, element to it, uh, that particular hearing. There seemed to be a little bit of a contest of who could get these guys by the scruff of the neck and slap them around the most.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It felt like this was a crisis, but not an uncontrollable one. This was something that could be stopped. A finger in the dyke would end up working fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Table and President Bush says if we don't get the money flowing, if we don't get the credit flowing, this sucker could go down, meaning the economy as a whole. And then he opens it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, cacophony of shouting and, and, and, and, and, and screaming back and forth. And Bush stands up and says, well, I've clearly lost control of this meeting. And he walks out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a very high stakes game of signaling that he was playing. He wanted to show these guys, you know, all of his old buddies on Wall Street that they were going to need to step up and do something themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe I wasn't ready to do that interview, cause now me doing the interview, I got music out, I got videos out, so after this people will really get to see what I got going.

Have we not figured out how to lay off some of this risk? And honestly, we couldn't figure it out. What we never imagined was that those other firms weren't doing anything at all. They were just taking the risk and sitting with it.

[Assistant] And he was like basically trying to smash and so then he acted like he wasn't here and then his girl got so mad that she said that she wasn't coming but I feel like she might have came back anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also I probably should have not said some of that, but I don't really care at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, I mean yeaah, so that's basically all you need to know about Lozan is that he was down to just like be out and just get some stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this is the thing, is that he fucks tons of girls, but I think he wants them all to like, love him, and he's kinda like that, but then he's like, over it, like the next day. I kinda get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're supposed to be mad now, but do you feel like you ever really exposed academics? I haven't really been paying that close of attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was the whole deal with the Cardi B offset situation where more or less you like lied and just trolled the media and Cardi B for a long period of time. Did you ever actually fuck off?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I've said, thought that he was complicit in spreading this idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like Ak, whenever he talked about it, that was like pretty skeptical about the idea that it was real publicly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because like, the girls that we hook up with are actually like cool, and like, respect her, and are nice and stuff, and then you're just like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She seems like probably even more of a hoe than you, huh? She a stripper?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were just turned on by him or what? So you fucked him? You didn't wrap it up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you want to see what the fans got to say? I'll let you check the chat out for a minute. Yeah. Let's pop this out and see what they got to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This girl wants to holler at you, they talk for a while, I don't think they ever smash or anything, but with you, it's like, that's like, and he's brand new to the game at that point too, I didn't want to fucking-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to Dirty Dom. Blog Squad. You should do a video with David Dobrik.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's gotta be somebody who's down to get in the business of just being as messy as you're capable of being, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so the baby was alive, but you did dick him down at one point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't it kinda, it's kinda amazing that you weren't the one to call him out and get his whole relationship fucked up. I mean you tried, you were like the early one trying to fuck his relationship up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She just like inter-interrupts the podcast to be like, let me hit that drink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 3,400 people, that's right. We got almost 3 million subscribers. You're telling me only 3,400 people want to watch this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was either Bad Baby or Trippy Road. I think we had like 20k watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was in here. She has me blocked on Twitter. I just want to get to the bottom of that. I just want to know why I'm blocked on Twitter. I'm offended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She just hangs up on you immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he'll be nice to you. He'll take care of you until he probably hears about you from academics or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, if you removed like your personality and your reputation and everything about you that makes you who you are, sure I would hit. If you were just like a lifeless sentient body, okay fine. On that basis, sure I would hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, I'm so used to just letting people say it the other way. No, she's Armenian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't, if he beat the dog shit out of you, I wouldn't think twice. I'd be like, hell yea, you get it Haribo. You deserve it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you, you've got like all the, all the top names in Chicago rap. We've got Dirk Hio, Herbo, Chief Keef.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that he'd be willing to give up his kids and his wife and everything with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a, a blunt, I believe is in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna be honest, that has been around for like six months. I don't know how that blunt's gonna survive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I'm interviewing this really famous porn star afterwards, but you gotta leave before I can do that. Lana Rhodes interview coming up next, by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll let Black Panther hit? Off camera? Girl?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's cool seeing you guys smoke that pre-roll blunt that I just found in my house that's like six months or more old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see that. Point that at me. I told her to show me her butthole and she said no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's taking a video, showing her ass with no jumper in the background. You delete messages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could reckon a couple guesses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] J-E-I-J-E-X-X-E is another. Ask who's thicker, AK or U?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Just kidding. What's up with her and Dom is live? Someone donated and asked that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do, I think you do. Uhm, someone said you ever fuck with Kodak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The volume of transactions was just exploding. I mean I used to know all the statistics because they used to talk about it every meeting how this is a growing market, you have to get your customers involved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alan Greenspan was coming from a very libertarian tradition. Keep your hands off everything. The markets will sort themselves out. And if there's a problem, then we'll clean up afterwards. And that really was the way the Federal Reserve operated under his leadership for almost 20 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You aided their escape. You allowed them to escape. They will not get far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This encounter never took place. You have disgraced no one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are dead. We abandoned them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had prayed it not true, but you have gone mad, Raiden. Your visions, they are nothing. Delusions of an addled mind. Rukai, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enough. I must help the wounded. Leave on your hopeless quest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We strongly believe they were very naive. We were amazed that they would buy this. Uhm, it was, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every single person, every salesperson was envious of that particular salesperson that was able to cover the London's banks and IKB because you were in one of the hottest seats globally. You were going to generate tremendous profit margin. They were big buyers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even when there was a downturn in the markets, they were still buying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean the market is telling them, it's on the screen, there are headlines everywhere, danger. But they still wanted to go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those discussions, uhm, the word crap wasn't used, uhm, but I mean those discussions definitely happened, uhm, but they felt that this was just a temporary glitch in an overall bull market. It will recover. It has to recover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Godlike power? A personality that is not at all like sanding paper?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can free her as others fight in our stead and join you thereafter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who are you? There is something familiar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if you have any honor left, you will tell us where Kitana is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cold medicine industry in the United States is estimated to be about a three billion dollar money maker for the drug companies. And to say that you're going to make it more difficult for companies to sell this product really is not a very popular idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's huge. It affects not merely the users, but it's the leading cause of property crime. It's the leading reason why children are removed from their homes and sent into foster care. It's very hard to go to any part of Oregon and not experience the effects of methamphetamine on ordinary people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oregonians know very well from experience what the East Coast can expect from this drug, and it's not a pretty picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was really exciting. I mean, it was, it was a perfect match. And you just don't often see that in, in data. These things were lining up on my screen and suddenly I had an explanation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're just looking at numbers on a chart, you see this huge increase in Matthews in the early 1990s. Well, that's the Amazco brothers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The unraveling of their supply line was a key to knocking that mountain down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hundreds of tons of ephedrine a year for the production of methamphetamine, uh, much less how they were doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of a sudden the DEA has all the cards laid out in front of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And pretty much can see from shipping documents the names of the companies that actually manufactured the ephedrine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that enables them to actually go to these companies and say, knock it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pharmacies in Mexico are currently restricted to selling only three boxes at a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to a marketplace in Mexico City, uhm, just to see what I could buy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So little that they actually decided to just ban the importation altogether.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That had a traumatic impact on the ability of the cartels to get their pseudo-ephedrine. They really, really struggled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cartels suddenly found themselves on the ropes, and you find them turning to rather desperate measures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turning to uhm, the old biker method of manufacturing methamphetamine. It's gotten, and that has continued on through today to the point where 70% of the meth that is seized by the federal government these days is actually the old biker meth, DL methamphetamine, half as potent as the crystal meth that was on the street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just five years ago. And that's good news for people who care about a race of addiction. Because people who experience weaker meth are, are likely to use far less of it. Uhm, or, and potentially not become addicted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Need minivac, current position. Cabal is down, third degree burns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where investors own pieces of it. The investors are around the world, literally. And so it's just in no person's land. It's a vacant property, mostly vandalized, and it just sits here. And we can't do anything with it. And the reality is that that plays out across this neighborhood hundreds of times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, yes. Near-death experiences are always so delightful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Point taken. I understand missing family all too well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is it that led you to choose this path toward goodness?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I will try to give you the benefit of my prison experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a saying in here. Behavior gets you in, and behavior gets you out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Behavior got you into your current trouble, Adam, and behavior will get you out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world. And we have Ava Louise today on the podcast. How you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're feeling extra skinny. This is kind of your thing. I was, through my time looking at your Instagram.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two main themes, being skinny and uh, what was the other one, not being a local.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the strip club. I just want to know where do you go from there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not good? No, I don't, but you should probably be drinking water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I know it's not the ideal state of being, obviously, it's not the healthiest thing to be like morbidly obese, but you don't have any kind of empathy for people that are struggling with obesity?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have to talk about that. He was just digging in there. Did you wear a condom? Duh. You duh? Duh. Why duh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So what would you say to people who say that you are just basically ripping off bad baby and basically trying to mimic her path to stardom?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's the thing about her is that she's had to grow up a lot over the past couple years. You know, she came out, she was ratchet as fuck on Dr. Phil, and then she had to, you know, basically try to like figure out how to exist. And she's still only 15. You got five years on her. Five years of maturity, theoretically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who is behind your, your music career aside? Can you scoot in a little bit too? Cause you're kinda coming out of the photo. Also, I just want to absorb your pheromones as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's fire. I'm gonna, I'm gonna pull up your, uh, Instagram real quick. What is the actual, what is the actual Instagram? Instagram?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There it is. Okay, we're gonna take a look at this because I wanted to read some of the captions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could imagine, yeaah, because we're going to take a look at some of these right here. But uhm, yeaah, so okay, for instance, this one, the caption is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is some skinny shit right here. Things a fat local could never pull off. I am so much hotter than every local slut in America. See those cuts on my foot? They're from my Chanel slides. Things a local hoe could never afford because they're paying for fat shit like rent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Why is that? You're willing to like, you know, it seems like you're embodying a lot of like the sort of elements of what it is to be a thought, but then you're just not willing to go the whole way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're trying to like, it seems like you are in the formative stages here where you're like fully clout chasing because you only have a hundred thousand followers and you clearly like know that you want to be in the, like if you want to be considered alongside to even be compared to bad baby, you're going to have to get into those ems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just run DMC. The group. What about all the Migos?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I was gonna say that, if you were gonna get a train run on you by the Migos, then maybe takeoff could go twice instead of offset, cause he's, he's wiped out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But think about it, Cardi really fell back, gave him like months of the cold shoulder more or less, and like she was basically like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the weird thing about it is that when their relationship started, he was by far the bigger artist and now she's by far the bigger artist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't think it carries it kind of well? It's like, you don't think Biggie was hot?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could be like a non-weed wrapper. If you don't smoke weed, that could be your thing now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then in reality, when you see like super hot chicks, they're usually dating guys with six bags. Or money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what's the future for you besides just pushing this song that you keep talking about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing about YouTube copyright law is that would be messy. But we can put, we'll put it on-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, off camera, yeaah, we could document it off camera, but as far as this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well hey, it was an honor getting to speak to you and I really look forward to the reactions of this podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a different way of thinking. They have a different mentality. They carry guns. They use these guns. DEA agents are killed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, in the jungles of South America, they need guns. But when you're working in the United States Congress, you don't need to carry a gun with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we felt that we were being treated just like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now what would you do if there was a bill out there that would negatively affect your industry? It wouldn't make any difference if you were from the dill pickle industry or from the over-the-counter medicine industry. You would naturally do what you have to do. Quite frankly, we appeal to a higher authority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy shit. Quarantine station to production bridge? Jesus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello everyone, and welcome to my first video of this new year, 2022.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we jump into the present week, here in the end of January, I wanna do a little recap of December.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My plan was to make a video for you before Christmas. But wow, December was really busy. And also, it was really cold here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For two months it was mostly over minus 20 degrees outside and sometimes around minus 30-35 degrees and we had a lot of struggle keeping the house warm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I spent most of my December freezing and working. There wasn't much energy left for doing anything else. When I feel constantly cold, I get very drained and feel lack of energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for next winter, we really hope to get some things fixed on our house so it will be easier to keep it warm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And December is the most busy month of the year when it comes to the work with our webshop. So we spent a lot of time here, in the old school in the nearby village, where we pack and ship all our jewelry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For two weeks we worked every day of the week until late in the evenings to make sure all the orders would be shipped so they would arrive to our customers before Christmas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a huge challenge, but we did our very best. And I'm so thankful for Adrienne and Marie, who worked so hard this whole month. We can always count on them and that means so much for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an intense time, and in the end of it we were so tired, but we also had so much fun during these weeks. I have the best team in the whole world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it got closer to Christmas and as always I tried to squeeze in some baking and Christmas stuff in the last minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have put in lingonberries and in the bottom there is blueberries. Ha, blueberries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we have lingonberries and then this pile is a bit frozen still. This is blackcurrant from our garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So look at all the juice that we got from the berries. Blood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like we are alchemists right now. Yeah. We're making something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is the result. So many good bottles with fresh forest juice. I think it's gonna keep us healthy this winter. Good job!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I've been on an award night tonight. Maybe it doesn't look like it. I'm sitting here in my pajamas. As some of you know, I was nominated to the category of cinematography in the Streamy Awards. And so tonight, the 11th of December,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sleep on the bed, having the laptop beside me, just so I could kind of hear what was going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, then I just saw, I just saw my, uh, uh, screen, uh, from one of my videos and my name popping up in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is going like crazy because of happy thoughts. Thoughts. I'm gonna go up and tell you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] December ended in the best way possible, because one of the things that I'm most grateful for in 2021 is that I got new friends for life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Friends that feels like a family to us now. In my earlier video I shared when I came here to visit us in October. And now some of them came back here in the end of December to celebrate the new years with us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had a couple of wonderful days together, and of course we spent a lot of time in the water and in the sauna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On New Year's Eve, we had a really nice dinner and we took a last ice bath of 2021.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then a new year began. And so far January has been very beautiful here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That kind of cracking or shooting sound that you can hear is coming from the trees. Yeah, that sound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the trees kind of crack inside because of the cold. The first winter that I lived here, I actually thought it was someone shooting in the forest with a gun because it was so loud. It can really be loud sometimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I remember I ran up to my grand uncle, Tage, you know? And I was like, there's someone shooting in the forest!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had no idea. I had never heard that sound before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I love to be out and take photos and film when it's full moon because it's so easy to shoot in the night. If it wasn't because of this strong moonlight, I would...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not be able to take, eh, films as easy because, eh, that's really hard when it's very dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's around minus 15 degrees celsius right now. So it's getting a little bit colder again. It's been warm for a few days. But after this super cold winter, minus 15 degrees feels kinda okay. Because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we've had around minus thirty. Thirty-four as coldest. Or maybe it was thirty-six one morning. That's really cold. That's a bit strugglesome with the house and everything. So minus fifteen, that's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like the perfect coldness, because it's cold enough to make it really fresh and beautiful, but it's not so cold that it drains me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My body kinda goes into hibernation or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually don't deal with that kind of cold so good. It's like I get very tired and I freeze a lot. Like within my body I freeze. It's like my bones are freezing. So when it's like minus 30 I dream about Spain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, minus fifteen, that's perfect. Then I wanna be here. And nowhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time of the year, it's hard to move anywhere else than from the road. Because of the snow. But Nanook, he's a fighter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, eh, it has become colder again. It's almost minus 20 degrees outside right now. Who's gonna go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To my studio to do some evening work, but then I heard a noise outside. A very familiar noise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the, it's the ice. I wouldn't say that the ice is singing because it doesn't sound like singing anymore. It's more like a humming sound. Usually the ice doesn't do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the surface of the ice melted a bit and now when it gets really cold again it's freezing so now it's actually making a lot of sounds again. I brought my lantern because I thought I would


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the ice isn't really making any beautiful sounds right now because the sounds are so deep. It's more like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason to that is because the ice is so thick now. The thicker the ice is, the deeper the sounds is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the most beautiful sounds you get from the ice when it's, you know, just about to grow, in the beginning of winter, when the ice is really, really thin, then you get this more singing sound from it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I thought I would just record some sounds just for fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never heard eyes make this kind of noise. Not so much as it is right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The moon is rising over there. It's a lot of stars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't really show it so good on the camera. I can make a timelapse with photos for you so you can see. Maybe I can just put it in here. Boom!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then this freezing temperature that makes so much noise in the nature. Like the trees, I can hear them from far away, making these shooting sounds. And then the ice, who is just, I don't know. It's a very strange sound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or maybe we are INSIDE in the stomach of the whale. That's how it sounds like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just feel so lucky. So, so lucky. I'm sitting here, out on the ice. All alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except from the moon. When the moon is up, eh, you can see less stars. But then the moonlight makes it really beautiful as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the ice was cracking right under me. But don't worry, I sit on very shallow water. I'm just by the edge. So, I'm not taking any risks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's getting really cold. But I almost feel like I'm spellbound by these things going on here. I could just sit here and listen. But I think I should actually get back now. Cause I'm gonna go to my studio now, tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know. I felt like I had so many things that I wanted to say for this video. Since we haven't really met in a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I can't really remember now what I was gonna say. Well, I really wanna thank you for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything, for being here, for watching my videos, uhm, especially now because, yeaah, I won the Streamy Awards, eh, in cinematography. And, yeaah, that just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How fast things have, you know, evolving for the past years. I see that you are almost 4 million people on my channel now, which is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my gosh, you know, if someone would have told me that, like five years ago, I would just drop dead. So many people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just really love that you are all from like, so many different countries, like all over the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If some of you would like to write a comment and just share something about you, like where do you live? What do you like to do? What's your name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fun to get to know you guys a little better. I mean, yeaah, you're so many now, but I think, in my head when I talk to you, I see like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bunch of 20 people or something, like in my mind, that just sitting there and smiling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm really, really, really happy that you guys are here and that you're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spending your valuable time here, watching my videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it really inspires me to keep doing this because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything I love to do becomes even extra fun because I get to share it with you, like for example this evening, even though I would love to be just here all alone without cameras as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To know that I can capture this and now go to my studio and start editing a video so I can share this moment with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How we're all connected today. Like you can sit in the other side of the world and watch this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it's time to leave. So, I think I'm gonna go to my studio now because it's getting really cold. I hope you have a good start on this new year. And that you take care of yourself in this crazy crazy time. I hope you stay healthy and strong. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will see each other soon again. Thank you so much for watching this video. Muah! I'm sending you so much love and...

[Assistant] When I founded the Meth Caucus five years ago, the people from the affected states, uh, my co-founders, we knew about it. But as we talked to other people back here in DC, they'd say, methamphetamine? I don't know what it is. Or, pseudephedrine? How does that relate to methamphetamine? They literally did not know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back home it was tearing families and lives apart. Here in Congress it was as if there was no problem at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously those of us who've had colds, we know how inconvenient it is and how unpleasant it is. But if somebody's addicted to meth, it's analogous to brain cancer. You are going to have your life ruined and probably taken ultimately by meth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if people are inconvenienced by not being able to just go pick up their normal head cold remedy, we hope they'll understand that what we're trying to prevent is something far, far more destructive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What else do you know? You need to tell me now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now there's a zombie outbreak like the one that killed her mother. You don't know what that's like. Who the hell is this? Nick Ramos. Who are you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isabella Keys? What the hell are you doing here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we'll see how it goes. If it works well every week or something. Yeah. Take a dip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the sugar cubes. That's nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mostly it's America, then Germany. UK's buying a lot by now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it did work the first time you wanted to keep Ryan in the dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you hadn't coughed up that cash, well I'd have just been forced to go to Ryan and tell him that your big scary break-in was nothing more than a sham. That his attention-starved wife just made the whole thing up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did it go down with the policemen and the firemen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that I could make decisions for my family, for my kids, in the like long term, things that my parents weren't able to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that was, I think that's kind of where we were, you know, they'll fix it and then I got married and I had some kids and, you know, that wasn't what was on my radar and I think a lot of people were like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In about August, September, I really started paying attention to what was happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it did, and I told everybody I had an out of body experience. I mean, I'm a loud person, and I'm not the type of person who, you know, sits back a lot of times, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That struggles with the same types of things that we do and that they were able to achieve their goals, I think really ignited us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We traveled to Kentucky for a firsthand look at how the recession is hurting just about everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back everybody. I don't know about you, but for me, it can be hard to watch the news these days since it's so filled with all the things that happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is why I was so excited to meet somebody who has remained blissfully uninformed about current events. Her name is Bootsy Plunkett. And she served as our uninformed correspondent during the midterms. She also happens to be the mother of my field producer, Jake Plunkett. Come on here, Jake. This is Jake, one of our field producers. Give it up for Jake, everybody. Thank you. So much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jake, thanks for being here. Thank you. Thank you. And now, is this a surprise to you that I called you out here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little bit, yep. A little bit, okay. That explains the outfit. Now!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And is it fair to say she is uninformed about a lot of things? I would say that's pretty fair, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's covered, uh, politics and, uh, like espionage for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I understand that she's equally uninformed about, uh, some cultural things that are very important to me, like the Lord of the Rings, or science fiction, or, uh, like Star Wars, or, or, or superheroes and stuff like that. All of it, yep. Nothing. Okay, okay. That's why, and that's refreshing, and that's why I sent Jake and his mother to New York Comic Con. So, she could become more informed. Jim?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you for sharing your lovely mother with us. And Jake, I'm excited to announce that we here at The Late Show have got an artist rendering of your mom as a flying superhero named Bootsy Bird. And even more exciting, Jake, we have for the first time anywhere the actual Bootsy Bird. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome... Bootsy Bird!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did not. My friends for the last like couple years, uh, would just be like, dude, you look like Kylo Ren. And I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna get a costume and see what happens. And come out and pretend to be Kylo Ren.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do you like to stir things up? Of course Ryan knows about the lawsuit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And decide, okay, you know, they're right, I do have to go to school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She could be headed towards prison if she doesn't get it right right now. I hate to say that about any kid. But it is a reality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Look, at the end of the day, we're trying to save the system for them. That's, that's the irony of all of this, in my mind anyway, is that here we are trying to save the systems, and we're getting all this pushback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wrecker. Damn, dude, you were thrashing about. Bad dream?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which means Ronnie Chang is back with another installment of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Setting up digital communication to have weapons and ammunition. So it was really thought through. It wasn't military operation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when the Russians are coming, you blow them up, right? And you can actually see it here, so that's why they're going under it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They found several 10,000 rounds of ammunition. They found weapons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They found an Uzi, they found stun grenades, they found all sorts of stuff. He was ready to fight a war, that's for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after some of these meetings, he comes up with this idea, either by himself or inspired by this group.
