[Assistant] Fast forward, just got some work done on my computer. Now we're gonna hop in this big body Uber, or whatever the hell it is, and we're gonna go see Lil Xan, cause apparently he's got a show now, a podcast, something he wants to talk to me. He's come on my show a whole bunch of times, so I guess I gotta do it for him. We are about to sit in some maddeningly insane traffic, but I'm so ready, let's go. Before we get on the highway, if we could stop at like a 7-Eleven real quick.

[Assistant] I really meant to get my beard trimmed up today before I, uh, I dunno, I was gonna do it last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the dude couldn't come. But man, it's certainly disgusting. I hate how these gray hairs just collect and grow and slowly they're longer than all the other hairs. It's so nasty. And I'm over here talking to ASAP Ferg. He got a beautiful green thing on his head. He's 32. He ain't falling apart like me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to my boy Reed Stark. This is a graph of all of our lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These big tobacco is just out here targeting the jewel companies. They're the ones out here doing opposition research, putting out all this crazy shit basically to defeat their enemies in the market, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and Lil Xanny, had a good time. Chad, drank the lava.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't matter how many combat soldiers they are, if they don't know where the enemy is, they can't fight the enemy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were first brought into use in 2006 and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ever since then, it's kind of been the same system. It doesn't work very well during rough weather, like only when weather conditions are perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, I know that the surveillance operators on the balloon have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as I've been there, you know, I served there, uhm, we've been complaining about how the balloons see, and like in general, their quality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Firmly see a weapon and a threat before we can actually do anything with it. So usually like if someone's getting close to the fence, we use it to kind of not shoot at them, but shoot near them to kind of like scare them away, like don't come close. You know, we're not going to touch them if they don't come close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harlequin. How'd you guess? Her goons ambushed my guys and dragged them towards the steel mill. I can't get close. I'll handle it. You sure?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey kid, is he alright? Yeah, sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sonia, get out of there!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of your life, I claim your service. If Melina does have the amulet, we can get it from her more easily if we work together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do. My great whatever grandfather took down Shang Tsung. Saved Earthrealm. How often do you think that comes up at family gatherings?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna hear a little bit about it. We're gonna get fucked. We're gonna drink Red Bull and we're gonna get messed out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, I need a- I need a- Yo, Luke! Take that!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awww. Sit down, Adria.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's something that I feel has been lost lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I even feel like the definition of respect has been muddied a bit. Because people have a tendency to apply it only to accomplishments that they feel are worthy of praise and admiration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I'm talking about respect on a basic level. Even if you just boil it down to common human decency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's being lost. The golden rule still applies. You still need to treat people the way that you wanna be treated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because people have an automatic tendency to assume that if someone is disagreeing with someone, they are their enemy. And they're inherently bad. And they should be fucked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, you can disagree with someone and still respect them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can even hate someone. You can hate and abhor their actions. They're doing terrible things and they need to be hated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you still need to treat them with respect. And that's hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you may even be thinking like, how can you do that? That's not possible. If they're a terrible person, they deserve to be treated unfairly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's not the way that I wanna live. We're all humans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And either we are all humans that are equal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And deserve to be treated as equals, or were not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know people are probably gonna think that I'm speaking too generally about this, so I wanna get specific.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm talking about this because of the frenzy that's surrounding Felix. Not PewDiePie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Felix. And I wanna be very clear about something. Felix is not an anti-semi. And Felix does not advocate hate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm not even defending the jokes that he made, because even he has apologized for some of the jokes that he did. But he as a person, as an inherent human being, he's not these labels. Because it's so easy to label someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so easy to do. It's so easy to boil someone down to a single word or a phrase. And that's all they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if you're praising them, I mean normally it's when you're demonizing them, but even if you're praising them, even if you're putting someone on a pedestal, or if you're calling them human scum,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And trash, and garbage, you're inherently dehumanizing them in both aspects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's something that I will never stand for. Never.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I've said it a million times. Over and over. I repeat this all the time. We as YouTubers are the exact same as you. We're humans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're... people wandering this world trying to figure out who we are, just the same as you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even though someone like Felix is being attacked and he's a lightning rod for hate, whether or not that's a fault of his own actions or the society that we live in, that doesn't matter to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because what I'm talking about is the most basic human element, the one rule that I know very deep down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that we are all equal and deserve to be treated with respect. We're more than our labels. I don't give a fuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the color of your skin is, I don't care what religion you believe in, I don't care where you've come from or where you are now. All I care about is who you are. And whether or not you're free to be able to discover that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm not even just talking about Felix now. I'm talking generally. Cause if we're ever going to be more than we are right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a society, as people, as a species, as planet Earth. If we're ever going to be more than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need to, at the most basic level, respect each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard to take the high road. It's a lonely road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one wants to go that way. Cause it's so easy to seek vengeance. Or apply the other rule. An eye for an eye. Or label someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a simple word or phrase, just to dismiss them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know people are gonna even twist my words. People are gonna say that I'm defending the wrong people, or I'm defending bad people, or I'm- I'm spreading hate indirectly because I support other people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not the way I see the world. I see each and every one of us. Not defined by our race or our creed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But each and every one of us, a new opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To find ourselves, and in order to defend that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's gonna become of us? What's gonna happen in 50 years when the generations that follow us look back and see that their forefathers were too afraid to treat each other with the most basic level of respect? I believe. I believe very firmly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the face of the worst adversity. I have so much hope. For people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have so much hope for this world, and I have so much hope for what we can do to make it a better place. And that's something that I will defend to the death when it comes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To dehumanizing someone. Or anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I won't stand for that. Because at the end of the day,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's going to be people that follow us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's up to you and me to show them what respect really means.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's jump right to worst cop. Nick, take him down.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dawes is on his way. We're supposed to meet him by the courtyard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dawes needs to know there are consequences for what he's done. You've always been the bring him to justice type, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's kind of a freelance IT guy for scumbags. You two will pick him up near the dealership. He'll have all the information we need to take Dawes down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's find a way inside. Something other than the front door. If we break in, it's gotta be subtle. Relatively subtle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my guess. He's got serious security, which is why-

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome to 99Bitcoins.com. I'm Nate Martin and I'll be your guide through this video series, Bitcoin Whiteboard Tuesday. We're going to cover a lot of topics such as Bitcoin mining, Bitcoin wallets, how to trade Bitcoin, and a lot more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today, we're going to start from scratch and answer the third most searched term on Google today. What is Bitcoin?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're worried that we're going to get too technical and use a lot of complicated words, don't. Here at 99Bitcoins, we translate Bitcoin into plain English, so even if you have no technical background, you'll be able to understand everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the end of this course, you'll know more about Bitcoin and how it works than 99% of the population. So let's get started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we talk about Bitcoin, I want to take a moment and talk about money. What is money exactly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At its core, money represents value. If I do some work for you, you give me money in exchange for the value I gave you. I can then use that money to get something of value from someone else in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throughout history, value has taken many forms and people have used a lot of different materials to represent money. Salt, wheat, shells, and of course gold have all been used as a medium of exchange.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, in order for something to represent value, people have to trust that it is indeed valuable and will stay valuable long enough for them to redeem that value in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up until a hundred years ago or so, we always trusted in something to represent money. However, something happened along the way, and we've changed our trust model from trusting something to trusting in someone. Let me explain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over time, people found it too cumbersome to walk around the world carrying bars of gold or other forms of money. So paper money was invented. Here's how it worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bank or government would offer to take possession of your bar of gold, let's say worth a thousand dollars, and in return, that bank would give you receipt certificates, which we call bills, amounting to a thousand dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only were these pieces of paper much easier to carry, but you could spend a dollar on a cup of coffee and not have to cut your gold bar into a thousand pieces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you wanted your gold back, you simply took a thousand dollars in bills back to the bank to redeem them for the actual form of money. In this case, that gold bar, whenever you needed. And so, paper began its use as money as an instrument of practicality and convenience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, as time progressed and due to macroeconomic changes, this bond between the paper receipt and the gold it stands for was broken. Now, to explain the path that led us away from the gold standards is extremely complex. But suffice to say that governments told their people that the government itself would be liable for the value of that paper money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically we all said, let's just forget about gold and trade paper instead. So people continued to trade with receipts that are backed by nothing but the government's promise. And why did that continue to work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of trust. Even though there is no actual commodity backing paper money, people trusted the government and that's how fiat money was created.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fiat is a Latin word that means buy decree, meaning the dollars or euros or any other currency for that matter have value because the government orders it to. It's what's known as legal tender, coins or bank notes that must be accepted if offered as payment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the value of today's money actually comes from a legal status given to it by a central authority, in this case, the government. And so the trust model has changed from trusting something to trusting someone, in this case, the government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The government or central bank can print as much as they want whenever needed and inflate the money supply on the market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem with printing money is that because you're flooding the market with more money, the value of each dollar drops. So your own money is worth less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you see prices rising throughout the years, it's not necessarily that prices are rising as much as that the purchasing power of your money is dropping. You need more dollars to buy something that used to cost less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once fiat money was in place, the move to digital money was pretty simple. We already have a central authority that issues money, so why not make money mostly digital and let that authority keep track of who owns what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today, we mainly use credit cards, wire transfers, PayPal, and other forms of digital money. The amount of physical money in the world is almost negligible and it's getting smaller with each year that passes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if money today is digital, how does that even work? I mean, if I have a file that represents a dollar, what's to stop me from copying it a million times and having a million dollars? This is called the double spend problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The solution that banks use today is a centralized solution. They keep a ledger on their computer which keeps track of who owns what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone has an account, and this ledger keeps a tally for each account. We all trust the bank, and the bank trusts their computer, and so the solution is centralized on this ledger in this computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You may not know this, but there were many attempts to create alternative forms of digital currencies. However, none were successful in solving the double spend problem without a central authority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever you give anyone control over the money supply, you're giving them enormous power, and this creates three major issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When banks have a mandate to create money or value, they basically control the flow of value in the world, which gives them almost unlimited power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A small example of how power corrupts can be seen in the Wells Fargo scandal where employees secretly created millions of unauthorized bank and credit card accounts in order to inflate the bank's revenue stream without their customers knowing about it for years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second issue of a centralized system is mismanagement. If the central authority's interest isn't aligned with the people it controls, there may be a case of mismanagement of the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, printing a lot of money in order to save a certain bank or institution from collapsing, as what happened in 2008.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem with printing too much money is that it causes inflation and basically erodes the value of the citizen's money. One extreme example for this is Venezuela, where the government has printed so much money and the value of it has dropped so much that people are no longer counting money but are weighing it instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last issue is control. You are basically giving away all control of your money to the government or bank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At any point in time, the government can decide to freeze your account and deny you access to your funds. Even if you use only cold hard cash, the government can cancel the legal status of your currency, as was done in India a few years back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was the state of things until 2009. Creating an alternative to the current monetary system seemed like a lost cause, but then everything changed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In October of 2008, a document was published online by a guy calling himself Satoshi Nakamoto. The document, also called a white paper, suggested a way of creating a system for a decentralized currency called Bitcoin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This system claimed to create digital money that solves the double spend problem without the need for a central authority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At its core, Bitcoin is a transparent ledger without a central authority. But what does this confusing phrase even really mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let's compare Bitcoin to the bank. Since most money today is already digital, the bank basically manages its own ledger of balances and transactions. However, the bank's ledger is not transparent and it's stored on the bank's main computer. You can't sneak a peek into the bank's ledger and only the bank has complete control over it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bitcoin on the other hand is a transparent ledger. At any point in time, I can sneak a peek into the ledger and see all of the transactions and balances that are taking place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing you can't figure out is who owns these balances and who is behind each transaction. This means Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous. Everything is open, transparent, and trackable, but you still can't tell who's sending what to whom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's explain this with an example. You can see on your screen certain rows from Bitcoin's ledger. We can see that a certain Bitcoin address sent 10,000 Bitcoins to another Bitcoin address in May of 2010.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This specific transaction is the first purchase that was ever made with Bitcoin and it was used to buy two pizzas by a guy named Laszlo. Laszlo published a post back in 2010 asking for someone to sell him two pizzas in exchange for 10,000 Bitcoins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone did, and now the price of these two pieces is worth well over $100 million today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bitcoin is also decentralized. There's no one computer that holds the ledger. With Bitcoin, every computer that participates in the system is also keeping a copy of the ledger, also known as the blockchain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you want to take down the system or hack the ledger, you'll have to take down thousands of computers which are keeping a copy and constantly updating it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This means there's nothing physical that you can touch in Bitcoin. There are no actual coins. There are only rows of transactions and balances. When you own Bitcoin, it means that you own the right to access a specific Bitcoin address record in the ledger and send funds from it to a different address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, what does all of this mean? Why is Bitcoin such big news? Well, for the first time since digital money came into existence, we now have an alternative to the current system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bitcoin is a form of money that no government or bank can control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think about the time before the internet. How centralized the flow of information was. Basically, if you wanted information, you could get it from a few major players, like the New York Times, the Washington Post, and others like them. Today, thanks to the internet, information is decentralized and you can communicate and consume knowledge from around the world with the click of a button.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bitcoin is the internet of money, and it's offering a decentralized solution to money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bitcoin has several advantages over the current system. First, it gives you complete control over your money. With Bitcoin, you and you alone can access your funds. How you actually do this will be explained in a later video. No government or bank can decide to freeze your account or confiscate your holdings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bitcoin also cuts a lot of the middlemen from the process of transferring money. This means that in many cases, Bitcoin is cheaper to use than traditional wire transfers or money orders. Also, unlike fiat currencies, Bitcoin was designed to be digital by nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This means you can add additional layers of programming on top of it and turn it into smart money. But more on that in later videos. Finally, Bitcoin opens up digital commerce to two and a half billion people around the world who don't have access to the current banking system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These people are unbanked or underbanked because of where they live and the reality that they've been born into. However, today with a mobile phone and a click of a button, they can start trading using Bitcoin. No permission needed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today, there are several merchants online and offline that accept Bitcoin. You can order a flight or book a hotel with Bitcoin if you like. There are even Bitcoin debit cards that allow you to pay at almost any store with your Bitcoin balance. However, the road toward acceptance by the majority of the public is still a long one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we continue in this video series, we will break down exactly how Bitcoin works and how to use it. We will learn about Bitcoin mining, Bitcoin wallets, how to buy Bitcoins, and much more. The revolution of money began in 2009, and these days we are seeing it change money as we know it.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why haven't you tried to recruit Chloe yet? I'm very confused why you haven't. She's been like seriously the cause of almost half of the Akumas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so yes, I can like automatically see now why


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was better to wait, but it wasn't a huge deal if we didn't. It was just like a maybe put this later type of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This makes more sense, cause I have so many people who are like, you don't need to wait, you don't need to wait, like it makes no difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, for the most part, yeaah. Just Luca being in the final shots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really makes not much of a difference here. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It makes sense, obviously, why to wait, but it's so unimpactful. Granted, yes, I get to like gush about Luka.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I get to gush about him, so I'm not gonna complain about that at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am more than happy to gush about Luca. I'm glad he got to be a part of the video. And I'm glad I got to see Luca. Oh my gosh. I am-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still it wasn't and then it just started getting really old and I was like, please stop. I beg you to stop. Like it's so bad. Like I don't want to hear it anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like I feel bad about that fact, but it's like, uuuh, I hate this. I hate it so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Granted, we got through it. It's fine. I really enjoyed our, uhm, pop star diva. Our, uhm, protein gale? Protein gale?

[Assistant] Frottengale? Frottengale? There's Frot- Frightengale at the end, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I liked her. I thought she was sweet and fun. I like that she literally had a plan to find Ladybug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our, our, our character to play Ladybug by dropping in and seeing who would come out and help her right away. I thought that was really clever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do have to say this is one of those times again though where I actually was upset with Marinette.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I get her anger towards Chloe. I totally get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a part of me that completely gets being upset that Chloe came in, upset that Chloe was gonna get the part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Upset that, you know, Chloe is gonna get to be with Adrian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you turned it down already. Like, I don't care if she's upset and steaming on the sidelines, but to be like, I CHANGED MY MIND! It's like, internet, like no, honey, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I find that just a little bit annoying. There's certainly times where I'm like disappointed at Marinette. I know she's still technically a child, a young adult child. So like she's gonna have those very...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Childish moments, but I can still, you know, be upset at her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, along with this all, I love the kookiness of this episode of Adrien having to be catnoir


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marinette being ladybug and them both being like, can't find the mask, oops, like, aah. And them both being like, oh no, I have to put on the mask, like, they're gonna find out who I am. It's like, yes and no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, will Alia probably figure it out? Oh, for sure. But like, will everyone else? Hmm, debatable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I had a fun time watching this episode. It was certainly interesting. I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Liked the design of the Akuma, uhm, super cool. Our villain was amazing. I love the big old, like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pop punkish? I don't even know how to describe it, hair. But I love like the very, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dulled up jumps. I think it was kind of a jumpsuit of sorts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, with all these, I think it was stars and sparkles on there. I loved it, loved it, loved it. Totally jealous of that design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think if I remember right, we've seen this pop star a few times in the series, but it-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't matter. At least this season. Season 2 we have. I remember her being in the background, like on a TV or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I like that they, like, try to continue using characters. Or, you know, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pre-warning of characters to come. Like, I know we moved this episode, so obviously, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time it was more, uh, we used the character and then she's been in the background a few times. Uhm. So, you know, things get a little bit messed up here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I loved how much, uh, Marinette was like gushing about Adrian being Cat Noir and how she was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] envisioning like him like going to kiss her and stuff like it went crazy real fast but it was very funny like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do have to adore it even if she has stalker tendencies. I do have to adore it. Uhm, I'm curious since we saw Luca.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the background of this, if we'll see him more, like I know he's like friends in the same band with Adrian now. I'm curious if we'll see more of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I'm hopeful, and uhm, who's, oh shoot, I'm gonna forget her name because it's been so long, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember, but yeaah. I'm curious if we'll see her as well soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, she just was shown once and then has never been shown again. Where now, Lucas has been shown technically twice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm curious what will happen with all this jazz. So thank you guys so much for watching. I don't have too much else to say about this episode. It was just, it was a nice episode. It was fun and a good time, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you guys so much for watching. Please remember if you like this to like, share, subscribe, all that fun jazz, comment down below. Let me know what you guys thought about the episode and I'll see you all later. Bye!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not consistently. I don't always be here. Look how many people are here, so I don't really come here like this. It'd be too packed. This is Mikell. Y'all know Mikell. Mikell Larian. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My crank spun. You see that? I was just talking to Mikell about that. And my seat went down. Look at that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up? Tommy just pulled up. I guess he, uh, slept in pretty late or what? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just in your head. You can't get yourself to concentrate when you got little mijos coming at you and all these little fools on little boards that don't really know what they're doing. You gotta be patient with it. And so I try not to explode. I just contain it. But sometimes, you gotta go hard. I mean, Antonio would get mad out here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, sense of courtesy of letting anyone go, because everyone has a different flow, because somebody on a scooter ain't gonna ride how we ride on a bike, and they ain't riding how we skate, how they skate, so everybody's going different directions. It kinda gets all mixed up, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta be patient out here, you know? Until we get our own facility or some shit, but we ain't got shit, so we gotta be out here dealing with this. You see what we gotta do with it, but it's good though. We got it though. It is what it is. Yea, we still got it, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. You hungry? Yea, sure. Get some food, get the energy back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though it ain't as tight as it is, I gotta make it look tight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's do it. Alright man, let's go get food. Get some food, get something to drink, go to another park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell nah, me. I might be able to. Maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, you're getting it in. You already know what it is, Antonio. Doin' what it doodoo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at the part, you see what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's just a thing I started. Like the idea behind it was kinda like seek adventure, seek fun, seek this, seek that. So I kinda just ran with it and used the scene again. It's kinda like a YouTube channel, like gives me a freedom to kinda like make a video when I want to if I don't want it to be, you know, anything in particular under any sponsor or anything. It's just kinda like my own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Follow it on Instagram, at Seek Life, and uh, we're gonna start selling them off Instagram. I mean, I think there's a way we can sell them off Instagram straight up without having to do a website and stuff, so I think we're gonna do that first just to get them off quick before...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like X games and all that. So I think we're gonna have them ready for the summer. So gotta get on that. We got the white ones too, go on the side, some a little different on the scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we got Long Sleeves too. Go to Seek Life. Man, we got the Seek Life website too. It's got the videos on there and they'll be for sale soon off of Instagram. Follow us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm about to go to Detroit on Friday. I'm about to do this cinema trip. Shout out to cinema and all the crew. I'm about to go out there with Garrett and Nathan. Go out to Detroit and see my family too. My dad's gonna fly out there, so that'll be cool. After that, I got the X Games coming up in Minneapolis, so kinda just got them two things I gotta focus on right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just running it, man. BMX life. Day to day shit, man. I just really just hit parts to stay consistent, stay on my stuff, and meet up with my friends, ride around, you know what I mean? I always, I like to ride with people like Antonio because he pushes me. He's like a new AM out here that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's gonna be lit. Like he's on right now, he's filming a lot, so I like riding with him. He pushes me, keeps me on my bar bar stuff that I used to do when I was younger, but he keeping it going. He's doing it to flat at skate parks and all this stuff. I like riding with him, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just kinda like just hitting parks and staying on my stuff. Staying consistent to be ready for these contests and trips. So I feel good on my bike. So I'd just like to thank all my sponsors, like as always man. Love to thank Rockstar, Haro, Premium, Cinema, Market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody that rocks with me, my fam, Zeke Life, you already know. Uh, thank you, Nate, thank Adam, thank Nojumper, thank, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The come up. I thank all you guys, man. I thank everybody that's in my corner rockin' with me. My girlfriend. I thank Antonio. The homies ridin' with me. Everybody, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But while these pictures may have garnered praise in the 1900s, these days, thanks to social media, the only thing that they generate is outrage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry man, this is, this is just disgusting. You killed an animal for fun, and then you make out next to its dead body? Is this, is this like a fetish?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that we all assume people do it because they don't care about the animals, but according to the hunting community, they do this because they care too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, did you notice how that other woman arranged her lions? Like, did you see that? I don't care if you hunt or not. That-that's just creepy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, oh, another argument trophy hunters use is that they're actually getting rid of the slower, weaker animals who are holding back the rest of the herd. But that might not be the full story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, despite what they say, trophy hunters actually like to target the strongest specimens, which I don't support, but honestly, I mean, I understand. It's called trophy hunting for a reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want it to look like you battled an alpha male to the death, not like you snuck into its nursing home and then smothered one of the lions with a pillow, just like, shh, go to sleep, scar, go to sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, if you think about it, this is the one time in the animal kingdom where it pays to be out of shape. Like, I wonder if there's one fat-ass lion who's just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one of the main arguments, one of the main arguments trophy hunters give is that they're a hobby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Helps local villagers. But upon closer inspection, that's not necessarily true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you see, the truth is, unfortunately, the money from these hunts doesn't go to these communities. Oftentimes, it stays at the top with the people who run the trophy hunting game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be honest, most of these claims don't add up for me. You know, because another thing hunters love to say is it's not just the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They always say that their hunting provides meat for the local villagers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because apparently before the white hunters came, all Africans could do was just look at the animals. Yeah, Africans were just like, oh, look at the meat inside that buffalo, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, that's trophy hunting in a nutshell. And as weak as the arguments for it may seem, there will always be people who are convinced that it's actually a good thing. Which made us think, if it's working so well for Africa,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it's only fair that we let America enjoy some of those benefits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I'm feeling good, man. Yeah, it's nice to have you here, man. Good looking, man. I appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, before the music, it was just the streets, you know what I'm sayin'? We would just be in the hood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, on 10th Av all day, you know what I'm saying? And just, you know, doing what we're doing in the streets. From what age? Uh, we were teenagers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, he went to, he went to, uh, uh, I think he went to Hamilton. I went to Crenshaw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, we from the same neighborhood, you know what I'm sayin'? So, that right there just, you know, and then, you know, we like the same things, you feel me? So, we got together on that, then we both was doing music, and he had a passion for music, I had a passion for music, so, you know, we'll be hustlin' in the streets, and then we like, man, you know what, let's go to the studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? We went to the studio, we vibed out, and then we just started making records after records, and then, you know, shit took off after that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this was way before he even signed his first deal. You know what I'm saying? Before Epic and all that. You know what I'm saying? We was, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recording on a small computer with little rolling speakers, you know what I'm saying, about this size, you know what I'm saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, man, that's dope, man. Uh, I always knew he was gonna be big, man. I always seen something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big and um, you know, we, we from the same age, same era, you know what I'm saying? So, but I already knew he was more advanced than me. You feel what I'm saying? Okay. Just far as with knowledge and music and you know what I'm saying? Things like that. So I mean, I knew he was special. He was anointed, you know what I'm saying? So I always knew he was gonna, gonna make it big. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I can say he was ahead of his time, you feel what I'm saying? Like, yeaah. Definitely ahead of his time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Too much, you know what I'm sayin', somebody see us out there like, oh there go them right there, you feel what I'm sayin', let's pull up on them. So, we'll be careful, you know what I'm sayin', we'll pay smokers to go to our rival enemy hoods to put up posters and all that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm sayin'? Some people get they 15 minutes of fame and don't know how to act. You know what I'm sayin'?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, we surprised at certain things, but at the end of the day, we not surprised, cause we knew, we knew, we knew we was gonna get here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I mean, we went through a lot, man, you know what I'm sayin'? I went to jail, you know what I'm sayin'? What was that? Man, years ago, I had to do, I had to do years, like it seemed like every time, bro would drop a tape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was a bunch of different bids? It was a bunch of different bids, I mean all together it was about like 9 to 10 years. Wow, like 4 years here, 3 years there, 2 years there, a year there, you know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's uh, that, that's tough. Yeah, man. Yeah, hell yeah, cause...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, one thing about him, he always understood, like, even when I was in jail and I'd be on the phone with him, I'd think he'd be hot at me, cause like, we built a lot and then I'd go to jail and then he'd be like, damn bro, like, you feel me? But he never, he never really looked at it like I did something wrong. He was like, bro, I understand, you know, shit happens, you feel me? But you gonna be back out here, we gonna get this shit right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, I went, I went heavy last year, you know what I'm saying? But like, see, people don't know, like, I was going heavy last year because I had to turn myself in. Oh. And, you know what I'm saying, go do like a few months and shit, so. Another gun thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, just some old shit, you know what I'm saying, that, that, uh, caught up with me, you know. Okay. But, uh, yeaah, man, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was gearing up last year for this year, you know what I'm saying? So now this year they see the grind that I did last year, all the videos and the mixtapes and, you know what I'm saying, all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, it was just like, so much respect, it didn't even matter. You know, yeaah, we had talks, but like, at the end of the day bro, like, that's our neighborhood, you know what I'm saying? We not, you know what I'm saying? You can't take that from us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would have been a different outcome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got the car, I was already on my way up there, man. I got the car and, you know, I was 10 minutes late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I mean, I was right there, you feel me? Soon as I pulled up, he was leaving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy. Yeaah, so. Kinda hard to explain though for real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean shit, everything was just on pause, bro. I was crying for the next shit, two weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard people say it was bigger than Pac, bigger than King. I heard that, yeah. Yeah. I think it's just our era of that. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it's crazy cause they don't see it until you, until you gone or something tragic happen. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, but I think, like, people knew where he was going. I think they was starting to acknowledge everything, you feel what I'm saying? Cause he already had the love before it happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? So he was already doing good and doing what he was supposed to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, we had to go through the motions. I mean, he could have easily just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? Just took the easy route, like alright, I'ma sign this deal, I'ma do this, I'ma do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just for a little bit of nothing. Piece of fame or something like that. But like, at the end of the day, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying, when it's all said and done, what you leaving to your kids, what you leaving to your family, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying, when it's all said and done, when you're done with that label, do you even have any of that money, or do you have any attachment to that album, to where that album can, you know what I'm saying, pay for shit in a year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean of course, and that's the same steps, you know what I'm sayin', we was going through too, you know what I'm sayin', it was, it was just easier for us now than it was before, because we really had to go through the lumps and bruises, you know what I'm sayin', but like, now we just squabbled already, you know what I'm sayin', so like, we didn't did that, we here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean we always wanted to get up out the hood, but at the same time we wanted to start there first. Like even with bro, like he wanted to start where he was loved at and you know what I'm saying, his roots first before he like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Start somewhere else where he don't, you know what I'm saying? He can't go to Hollywood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I want to be able to say I can own something in my neighborhood, you feel what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause we bang the hood so much, but it's like what, I mean what do we own over there? We own shit over there, you know what I'm saying? So, nigga wouldn't feel good about saying I'm from Slauson, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's pretty much everywhere you go. It's negativity and good everywhere. You know what I'm saying? It's just energies. It's just really pretty much how you program around it or the individual. You know what I'm saying? You got people that want to get money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? You got people that don't even care about money. They just want a reputation in the streets. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and then you got people that wanna get money with the people that they funkin' with. You know what I'm sayin', so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that be the older people and people that got experiences and niggas that went to jail and did time with their enemies and been in cells with their enemies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Know what I'm saying? They see a different outlook and they want to get out and build.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? In their own hood, in their own community, or even with people that they actually did time with. You feel me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you younger, you ain't even thinking about the long run. You know what I'm saying? You just like, I'm, I'm, I'm living for the moment. Whatever happens right now happens. You know what I'm saying? Like, I wasn't thinking years ahead. Like, I didn't even think I'd get to this point. I didn't even think I'd make it this far. I didn't even think I'd make it past 25. Like, I didn't think I'd be sitting right here with Adam 22.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appreciate it. You know what I'm saying? Thinking back then, you know what I'm saying? As a youngster, you know, so much shit happened. Your friends dying, your friends going to jail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things like that. You didn't think you would be here. You saw a lot of that at an early age, I'm sure. Early age, yea. You know what I'm saying? I mean, I saw a lot of that in my family. You know what I'm saying? I lost my moms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Straight out the door. I was like two, three years old. You feel what I'm saying? Like. So you were raised by your father or other family members? Yeah, my auntie raised me and my grandparents. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I thought my auntie was my ma for a minute, you feel me? And then I figured it out, like, why she keep calling me her nephew?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I am her nephew, alright, okay. Right. Somebody finally told me, you feel me, so. That's crazy. I just put all that shit in my music, you feel me?

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? I had to get it off my chest. I had to say something, you feel me? And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I was to get on the mic and rap, I, you know, I had to say what's really on my mind. I can't just like say anything else. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta talk about what's going on right now, what's really on my mind, what's really fucking with me, what's really... You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think that's where I make my best music at, you know what I'm sayin'? We don't get that a lot in rap, we just hear about what motherfuckers got.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Master Johnson, you know the remoteness of this frontier better than most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is intolerable. I can barely conduct my research anymore.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there is any villainy, it is in my accepting this award, which is the result of the work of all these people, especially the combative but comic Robin Madsen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that they use fire and you know, there's a lot of motions because they spin and so I want to be able to play with motion. I think this is really cool. I'm fascinated. Is this too close for this?

[Assistant] I think what I'm most interested in exploring is the process. I definitely feel the spirit of Takumi here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a show about soap opera. And we have the very best soap opera. So let's get started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our first award of the night goes to your favorite newcomer to the Soaps. And here to present it are John and Isabella from Days of Our Lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throughout tonight's show, I'll be joined by two stunning ladies who are known to all fans of soap opera. My first co-host gained her reputation for being one of the most popular actresses in daytime. So popular, in fact, that when her character of Marlena was killed off five years ago, her fans picketed NBC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's already won five soap opera awards as best actress, and from days of our lives, Deidre Hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As past years, soap operas became the leading killer of America's most attractive men and women. In fact, over 80 characters met their deaths on daytime and primetime soaps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to prove it's all very legitimate, we'd like you to meet the actual accountants who tallied those votes from Beta Research Corporation, Richard Wells, Jay Zelenka. Thank you, gentlemen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our next award is the only one on tonight's show which is not voted on by the fans. Instead, it is chosen by a select committee of soap opera experts, the editors of soap opera digest magazines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To tell us about the spectacular weddings of the year, please welcome Richard Strogan and Kathleen Lee Gifford.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome everybody, I'm Harold Rivera. Up front tonight, a story so shocking it may become the Watergate of the 90s. An appalling tale of death and deception that's spreading faster than a sick Joe from town to town all across our great nation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reeking havoc with our very lives. I'm talking of course about soap opera death scenes. Now I can be told, well, sorta, that these so-called deaths have brought millions of unsuspecting Americans to tears are in fact a corrupt scam. We warn you that the graphic scenes you're about to see may disgust you. So please, call everyone you know and tell them to watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm Santa Barbara, California. As beautiful Eden Castillo dangles precariously from a cliff high above the Pacific Ocean, her dashing husband, Cruz, has just one thought. Will this mean I can start dating again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cruz tries desperately to grab onto his doomed wife, but unfortunately, his fingers, unlike his other body parts, are just too short.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Item in an abandoned shack in Pine Valley. A crazed Billy Clyde Tuggle brutalizes young Tad Martin with unspeakable tortures. Just listen to this demented mind at work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Tad makes a run for it. And on a rusty bridge, finally has it out with his appalling opponent. They fight to the death, or worse so it seems. Because after they both plummet 100 feet into the surging river below, Tad's body is nowhere to be found. Is Tad really totaled, or could he be just a tad alive?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Item a beautiful afternoon on the Florida Keys turns into a tempest of terror. Goes out of the clear blue sky, a hysterical Riva Lewis revs off in a paranoid rage, leaving her sanity and her manners by the wayside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it can be told, well sorta, that these alleged victims are in fact all alive. And we have uncovered the evidence that will astonish you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are these people merely ghosts coming back from the dead or are they in fact Eden, Tad, and Reaver playing some sort of pathetic joke on soap opera society? And is it just a perverse coincidence that all three plunge to their deaths into bodies of water where no trace of their bodies could be found? Beats me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And was Quinn Peek's latest murder victim really Maddie Ferguson or just a giant jelly donut wearing a wig? In the meantime you can count on us to keep giving you the disgusting truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to push the boundaries of things which are made in Rwanda, taking the inspiration from what we have traditionally, but make them more modern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good evening everyone. Here's some of the stories we'll have for you tonight at 11.

To tell us about this person, please welcome a star of The Young and the Restless. As cricket, we've watched her develop from a sweet young thing to a sexy soap opera newlywed, Laura Lee Bell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you swear to uphold the principles of our order and all that for which we stand? I do. And never to share our secrets or divulge the true nature of our work? I do. And to do so from now until death, whatever the cost? I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are now a templar. Harbinger of a new world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pleased to make your acquaintance. Pleasure's mine, sir. Captain Cook uncovered a rather distressing stratagem, which I fear confirms her own intelligence. Indeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Battle of Louisbourg could very well be the turning point which will finally bring this war to a close. I don't know about you, but I've had enough of war.

[Assistant] Oh god. You owe me a pair of underpants. Come on in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See if there's anything we can groove inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're coming from the north, someplace high up if I had to guess. It's cause we're getting full bars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, bad idea. We should wait for dawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What really amazes me though is, I gotta tell you how even younger and more beautiful you look in person than you do on television. This audience looks like something out of an Anne Rice novel to me. You know, just never age. That's why when I tune into a soap, I know if I see an ugly person, it's a commercial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our first two presenters come to us from Guiding Light. Vanessa was an upright community member. Then she met the young drifter Matt. Their relationship blossomed in a cave, a place with no heat, no light, no electricity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No brief clip package can adequately capture the quality drama and span of emotion and character contained in a year of soap opera. But this year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tonight you'll be seeing, in alphabetical order, the special selections throughout the evening. We'll announce which show...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fans have selected his favorite soap of the year at the end of our show. So right now let's look at some producers' choices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 11th annual Soap Opera Awards, and I have good news for myself anyway. Tonight I'll be joined by three co-hosts who each bring glamour, style, and quality to Daytime TV. So you already know I'm not going to be introducing any guests from the Ricky Lake show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're on different shows, which is too bad because obviously these two people were meant for each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here is a terrific actress who is the second of tonight's co-hosts. As Vivian, she's on horrible things to ensnare the man she loves. She stole one woman's fertilized embryo, and even buried another woman alive. Well hey, her heart's in the right place. From Days of Our Lives, please welcome Louise Sorel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here is the Infernal Triangle. Melissa Reeves, Jason Brooks, and Mark Valley.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lois is his manager and his wife who follows him closely. She follows him so closely his groupies have to freelance. Here are Rena Sofer and Wallace Kurth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it's sitcoms or soaps, writers are rarely given their due.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the 11th Annual Soap Opera Awards. Now, you may have seen our next co-host on Primetime in movies and videos, but millions know her best as the beautiful Drusilla Winters on The Young and the Restless. Please welcome a very talented actress, Victoria Rowell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And from the bold and the beautiful, Jeff Trakta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On General Hospital, she's Lucy, the Madonna of Port Charles. He plays her lover, Kevin, and his evil twin, Ryan, leading us to the question, can soap twins ever both be nice? Here are Lynn Herring and John Lindstrom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the character description for Romance Novelist is a person who wildly exaggerates, spins tall tales, and will make up anything as long as the story sounds halfway believable. Actually that works for the description of the lawyer too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, to present the evening's final award, Linda Danno and Stephen Schnetzer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I got a, uh, I got a show at Dame Dice Studio called the Leo Black Show. You can follow me, leo. And what's the question?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just said shout out the show, so I'll shout out the show. Well, I'm just kidding. I thought it was going to be a quick one. I had a question for Adam Doe because my guest, uhm, didn't know what he did, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would you consider yourself as a, uh, professional, like your career choice? How'd you get into it? Uhm, and what would you consider like your, you know, what you produce? What type of content you have on the No Jumper channel?

[Assistant] But before we dive into staking, let's take a moment to understand the problem that staking tries to solve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Initially, the solution to managing a blockchain, which is a fancy term for a ledger of balances that isn't controlled by any one entity, was done through mining. Mining is a sort of competition where powerful computers try to guess the solution to a mathematical question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoever finds the solution first earns the right to write the next page of transactions, also known as a block, into the ledger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With mining, the more powerful computer you use, the more guesses it can make in a second, increasing your chances of winning this contest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks to the laws of math and probability, it is highly unlikely that any single person or group will gain a monopoly over updating the ledger. And that's how decentralization is maintained. Mining's technical term is proof of work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because by displaying the right solution, miners proved that they put in a lot of work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As there is no other way to get to the solution aside from using computing power to constantly work at trying to guess it. Proof of work is what is known as a consensus mechanism, since its design is to create an agreement as to who gets to update the ledger amongst a group of people who don't really know each other or have any other basis for working together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While the proof-of-work consensus mechanism may be a reliable and secure solution for managing a decentralized ledger, it's also very resource intensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Running all of these supercomputers just for the sake of guessing a number takes up a lot of electricity, among other disadvantages. Because of these disadvantages, other alternative consensus mechanisms have been suggested throughout the years. One very popular alternative is proof of stake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This means that instead of committing electricity to run computers and try to win a contest, people will stake actual coins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How will this all work? Well, you basically lock a certain amount of funds on an everyday computer that is connected to the network. Your computer is called a node in technical terms, and your locked funds are your stake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once your stake is in place, you take part in the contest of which note will get to forge the next block. You see, stakers forge blocks. They don't mind them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The winner of this contest is chosen by taking into consideration several factors, such as how much money is being staked, how long the coins have been staked for, and randomization so that no single entity will gain a monopoly over forging.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Generally speaking, whoever wins the contest gets to forge the next block of transactions, and is rewarded in coins for his contribution to the network. It is important to note that there are many coins that use proof of stake, such as Tezos, Cosmos, and Cardano, and each coin has different rules as to how it calculates and distributes rewards.

[Assistant] In this video, we will focus mainly on how Ethereum's Proof of Stake model works. Up until 2020, Ethereum's blockchain was based purely on Proof of Work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is also known as Ethereum 2.0, and it runs alongside the original Ethereum blockchain, Ethereum 1.0. In order to join as a validator for Ethereum 2.0, you'll need to lock up 32ether as collateral, which in turn will earn you staking rewards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no way to lock up more than 32 ether on a single node, so if you want to increase your reward, you can just set up multiple nodes with 32 ether each.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This event, known as the docking, will happen somewhere around 2022, after which Ethereum will become purely a proof of stake network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Ethereum 2.0, each validator that participates in the forging of a block gets a percentage of the newly minted ether when it's created.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can think of the total amount of new ether rewarded as a pie with a fixed size. And the more validators you have that want a piece of that pie, well, the smaller each slice will be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To simplify things, there are dedicated staking calculators you can use that will try and estimate how much ether you'll make when staking a certain amount of ETH in any certain way. So, where do I sign up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, signing up is not that easy, as there are certain limitations you should be aware of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each day, only 900 new validators are allowed on board, so as you can imagine, there's a pretty long waiting list. At the time of posting this video, there are almost 20,000 pending validators waiting to join.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Additionally, setting up your own validator requires technical knowledge, a dedicated computer, and 32 ether, all of which provide barriers that may keep a lot of people from being able to take part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make matters even more complicated, if you don't set up your validator correctly, or if it goes offline, or if it's harmful to the network in any way, you may be subject to penalties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These penalties may even include slashing, a term referring to the destruction of portions of your steak, and even removal from the network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of the risks I've just mentioned are why some additional staking solutions were created. These alternatives allow for the everyday person to stake ETH and earn staking rewards without the considerable effort or risk of running your own node.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The easiest way to stake for a non-tech savvy person would be to use staking services supplied by exchanges.
