[Assistant] So yesterday we talked on the show about the fact that Juan Thornhill was complaining about there's a lot of negativity, he doesn't like it, nothing that happened before last year doesn't matter. We responded and talked about how, hey, you know, it does matter, it matters to us, it matters to people like G, you've been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well today, I put out a, cause a couple of people were like complaining about my comment. And so I, they were like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I responded, uh, you know, this guy Alex on Twitter said, funny how the original tweet, he's trying to change the narrative around here. My response to that was, a player talking doesn't change shit. You want to change the narrative? Win some effing games. Is that fair?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, but like, ultimately, all the talking in the world is meaningless. If you don't win, it doesn't matter. So if they win, that's going to change the narrative about the Browns. And not just get to the playoffs, but once you, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bengals, when they made the, even the Super Bowl, last year there were a lot of people who thought the Bengals would go backwards because they didn't have any track record of consistent success. Winning one year is one thing. Consistent success, that's another thing. Yes. That's a good, that's, you gotta be a decent franchise to consistently win. So that's what the Browns gotta do. That's the only way you really change the narrative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? So I thought my statement was fair. So Juan Thornhill responded to what I said, which I love. Do we have the tweet Anthony? This is what Juan Thornhill said in response to my tweet. He said, I'll keep my comment to myself. Thumbs up emoji.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we hear you. Now, I don't know what his comment was going to be. It doesn't sound like he's being...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He don't sound pissed off to me, I don't know, maybe I'm misreading it. He pissed off?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I wrote this to Juan Thornhill. This is what I tweeted. I don't know if you have my tweet. Do you have it or no?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, so this is what I said. Hey Juan, I love your passion and energy. Glad you wanted to turn, glad you want to turn it around here. I believe you guys, the Browns, have a chance to be really good. But you can't expect people that have been watching crappy football for so many years to not want a team to prove it on the field before you get total white. That's what I said there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went on to say, you know, it's a long tweet. My second paragraph there was... He pays for Twitter blue so he can tweet that long. Exactly. I said, that being said, love the interaction here and you have an open invite to the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show to try to shut up the doubters. Most fun show in Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, listen, Juan Thornhill, you wanna come in, you wanna yell at me, you wanna tell me I'm an idiot? Whatever you wanna do, open invitation, I'm rooting for ya, I want you to have great success. But the talking don't matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All that matters is winning on the field. But open invitation to Juan Thornhill. We'd love him to come in studio on, uh, on the, whatever. He's got to be at his house, whatever he wants to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so this is a lame response. Sorry, G, but this guy, some random dude on Twitter is like, maybe from his perspective, he wonders why Cleveland fans don't seem to appreciate they still have a team. That's the most absurd, idiotic response. What? People are supposed to kiss the Browns ass and the Browns players asses just because they have a team?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course they have a team. This city supports a team. They go to games. They buy the stupid jerseys. They do all this stuff despite the fact the team has been unworthy and unwatchable for most of the last three decades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me just say something, so to this Sarge character, and he's a veteran, so I give him major props for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, cause I wasn't gutsy enough to go in the military. And I appreciate that he watches the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you say you're not going to watch because you're annoyed at me or whatever, you're going to still watch because if you weren't going to watch, you wouldn't, you wouldn't tweet at the show. But I got to say that your comments are way out of line. Uh, your comments to G are,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think embarrassing. You should be ashamed of yourself for those comments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, uh, this idea that he wouldn't argue with me because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have, I have four. Who had the best offer, who had the worst? I have four. Oh, who had four? Oh, in addition to your four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, to that point, sometimes you just gotta shake things up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pitching is terrible. My pitching has been a disaster. So I put a post up on my, I'm like, make me trades for my pitchers, I have to trade them, I have to trade three or four of my starting pitchers, I gotta blow it up. So I traded Aaron Nola the Philly, he's been a huge disappointment. So I traded him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a deal that on paper it's like, eh, did I get any better? I don't know. But I gotta shake up the chemistry on my roster and start with the Cavs. It's a terrible comparison, but anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the San Antonio trade and then the second Dallas trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That makes a lot of sense. Boss doesn't have forever there. No. Do you think Shann Antonio or Dallas would make those trades?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How I like that trade. I like that. I like that one a lot. Um, yeah, who's the third player you're getting in that side?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My first reaction to this is again, like when I talk baseball and football trades, I feel like I have a great sense of basketball. I don't feel as confident, but I will say that to me, if I'm Toronto, if I'm not willing to train at an OB for Jared Allen, Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade are not changing my mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd rather have two first round picks than that trio. I would tend to agree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It ain't crazy crazy. Like, if you were next to absurd, absurd. Like I said, Toronto was- So you think G has the best of the three trades between these guys? Wait, just wait till you see. They move some pieces. Alright, who are we going down to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to have him, but they just drafted, uh, what's his name, the other kid, Jalen Green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I had a 77 Caddy Coupe de Ville. That car was, but I was like 20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was not. I was very disappointed in that. I was like, that would be cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On my 18th birthday, I lost my virginity. Congratulations. Her name was Rita. I couldn't pick her out of the lineup if she walked past me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I first saw the tweets this morning, I told you and Anthony, I was disturbed by it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It read to me like somebody that was crying out for help. And, you know, I've.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, no people who, you know, committed suicide and had suicidal thoughts. So that was honestly my initial, like, reaction to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to hear Tyvis lay it out that, you know, he could have just been saying goodbye to the old life, to the negativity, to the, to the bad energy and finally taking the steps forward to get himself together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, to G's point about, you know, it's a different standard for athletes when it comes to the guns and things like that. For me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's as black and white as this. I just want Ja to be safe. I just want to see Ja reach his full potential. I just want to see him like be the best version of himself. And I know the things that he's doing can get him caught up in situations that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people can't come back from. So, you know, hopefully the tweet, the messages that we've seen on his Instagram earlier today is just him, you know, letting people know like, okay, it's time for me to step, step back, focus on the things that I need to do, focus on the people who really love me so that I can continue, can continue my career and put my family in a different situation for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Generations to come. So that's what I, that's what I hope is going on, but whatever it is, jah is in my prayers and I mean it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Carrie, maybe you could give us a little bit of a, just fill us in on how you ended up in this role and, uh, exactly what you do at SoundCloud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The easiest entry level spot if you want to upload your music. That seems like you guys really have a lock on that segment of the market for sure. If there's some kid who makes a rap song for the first time, SoundCloud is just kind of the default platform. But as a business,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How does SoundCloud make money? Let's do a bird's eye view question like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, yeaah. So that's really interesting that you guys are going in that direction because when we think about SoundCloud, I think we usually think of SoundCloud as like a direct competitor with Spotify and Apple Music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that, that's sort of where the, uh, the, the war is being fought, is like, do artists choose to upload their stuff to SoundCloud as well as other platforms, or do they want to go exclusively with, uh, the, the other platforms? So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With this, you can now upload to SoundCloud and it'll be directly fed into the streaming services.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause I've seen that, that decision play out with a lot of like up and coming SoundCloud artists where maybe they have, you know, a couple hundred thousand or a million followers on SoundCloud and then eventually they get to the point where either because the label is putting pressure on them to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other services, but I think that it makes a lot of sense. Like if possible, if SoundCloud can allow artists to go upstream so it could be their first place to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To put their content and then also allow it to grow into a bigger space from there. If you guys could facilitate making that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Transition as easy as possible, then I feel like that, that would kinda ensure the future of SoundCloud in a way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, uh, I should probably clarify at this point that I'm not in any way being paid for this interview or anything, but I do have to admit that we, we host our, uh, the, the audio version of our podcast on SoundCloud and then it feeds directly from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soundcloud into the iTunes or the Apple podcasting app and everything like that. It works incredibly well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you compare that experience to what you're trying to offer to creators where you guys can just sort of be a one stop shop to upload stuff and then, uh, it's allowed to travel from there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. Uhm, has it been strange for you to witness, uh, SoundCloud rap essentially becoming its own genre that people, like, constantly using that term? Of course, SoundCloud is just a platform. Anybody could upload to it, but it's been sort of interesting to see that sort of become its own category.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely, uhm, I know it's an issue that pops up in the EDM music world as well as the hip hop world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much of an issue is like copyright abuse and people sorta, I had a bunch of people leaving comments saying basically that they had, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had to deal with, you know, false takedown requests of their songs or maybe, you know, different stuff that occurs with samples being used in different songs. Is that something that is a big issue for you guys in terms of dealing with managing all that, those complications?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure if you're familiar with Makonnen, but he actually left a question for you guys. He asked, why don't you guys do a concert, series, or festival? He's an artist who came up on SoundCloud in a big way, so thought that was interesting that that was his first concern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, it's definitely, that's interesting from your perspective because you are a platform, you really have every genre of music uploading, every tiny niche of hip hop or every other type of music. It's like, if you were to address one directly, if you were to do a festival, God, I can't imagine a bigger headache.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. When you hear about all these complications of, uh, you know, Facebook has been dealing with like unlimited controversies related to user privacy and information being sold to different brands and stuff, what is the overall SoundCloud mentality on users' privacy and their information because you guys are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clearly I would think dealing with like huge amounts of information that might be useful to advertisers, uh, what's the line of thinking on that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. Uhm, a lot of the, the fans, the younger fans in particular, they seem kind of baffled and fascinated by the idea that they could actually make money off SoundCloud. Uh, would you be able to explain like the quick version of how exactly they go about that since so many of them don't seem to understand how that works exactly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's cool, yeaah. I feel like Soundcloud, the ten dollars a month or whatever you end up paying, that actually is kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ensuring that Soundcloud stays sort of a, uh, you know, an open platform where, you know, having your, uh, your information, uh, dove into by, by advertisers and stuff isn't the emphasis of the business that, you know, you, you pay a small amount, but then you're able to actually, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was how much SoundCloud meant to him in terms of him going from basically nobody to a big star. Like does that stand out? That's how much the platform means to a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. Alright, so two more questions. Uhm, the narrative in the tech press and stuff maybe a year ago or so was that SoundCloud was not doing well, that the future of SoundCloud was very much up in the air. Do you feel like it's in a much more secure place right now than you did 12 months ago?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome, okay, and then the last question, uh, the rapper Smokepurpp, he commented, and he said, where is Dead Star 2 at, which is actually his upcoming album, so I'm not sure what information he thinks that you would have about that, that he doesn't have, but, he did ask that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so Kerry, thanks a ton for, uh, letting me pick your brain for a little bit. And, uh, I think we all appreciate what you guys offer for the community. Cause it would be kind of, this whole conversation has been making me think about if there wasn't an easy platform for, uh, young aspiring artists to upload their stuff. It would be a little bit darker of an internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely, uhm, and if you ever want to buy a SoundCloud repost, just let me know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm working on Destruction Darius 2, a sequel to the game that I made last year for a game jolt competition. The original came 130th out of 376 games, yet it's regularly featured on the front page as one of the top games of all time on the site, so I don't really know what happened. But what I do know is that it got played by a lot of people and as a game developer, that's what means the most to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you haven't played the first game, you can download it in this video's description since it might help you to understand the making of this sequel. So, onto Destruction Darius 2. Since last October I've been working on it for a couple of hours a week, adding small details and getting every bit of the game right. It's funny how slow progress has been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll work on it for ages and see no change, then suddenly it all comes together in some epic way. A while back I even tried to share the development with you. I streamed on Twitch for a couple of hours as I worked on the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have to say, I didn't realise how boring it was until I did this. I love making games, but the moment I have to explain my thinking to others I realise how slow and repetitive game development is. I ended up getting sidetracked by lots of questions and got very little actually done on the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But don't get me wrong, it was great fun to talk to you guys and I was very pleased with your enthusiasm for the project.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think that short, edited videos such as this one will be a better way of showing you the interesting stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The main addition to this sequel is a level editor, which lets you, and me, make levels in a matter of minutes. For you, this means that you'll be able to make levels of your own and to share them with friends, and me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for me, this means that the whole game will be stored on just 2 levels. One being the editor, the other the actual game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This means that every time I have to change gameplay or graphics, I have to do it just once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the original game, if I had 20 levels then I'd have to make the same change 20 times, taking much longer and making it far more likely that I'd make a mistake of some kind and it would be nigh on impossible to find again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have big plans for the gameplay as well. It goes without saying that there will be more block types, perhaps even customisable mines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There will be more character customisation, more polish, more campaigns and maybe even a long single-player one with worlds and stuff that you have to work through, in a similar style to Counter-Strike's operations. The possibilities are really exciting, but before I get to them I have to work on getting the gameplay right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is the bit that requires work. It's exciting to fantasise about the campaign you're going to make, but you can't do the same with the core gameplay. And by that I mean stuff like getting the mind-throwing right or the speed the character moves. Or the amount of debris, reduced by an explosion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll dedicate an evening to getting the explosions feeling just right, or getting the mines to bounce in just the right way. I'll go into specifics in a later video, but I'm happy to say that it's coming along nicely and feels very natural to play. I can't dedicate too much of my day to making the game, though. I have to keep my youtube channels active and, you know, live a life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But development of Destruction Darius 2 will continue at a slow and steady pace. I might even try to get it on Steam if I think it's worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's funny that when growing up I dreamed of making huge, open-ended games that needed hundreds of hours of gameplay invested into them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yet, now Steam's full of these buggy, time-consuming early access titles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My big two caveats here. I think there's a common joke about Taco Bell giving people diarrhea. Like that is not a thing. I have never had diarrhea after Taco Bell and I get diarrhea a lot. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we landed on starting with a classic taco supreme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, the Taco Supreme has tomatoes and sour cream in addition to the cheese, beef, and lettuce. Here we go. First bites, gentlemen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I like about this is you don't feel gross afterwards. If I eat a McDonald's apple pie or like a McDonald's sundae or something, it's a treat, but you feel a little


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay then, so now we have our database real-time listener set up. So we know we're getting data every time something's added to the database and also when we first load the page as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now what I'd like to do is output that data to the webpage instead of all this dummy data right here. We don't need any of that anymore. So first of all, let's go over to our index page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And scroll up a little bit where we have all of this dummy content. Now I'm just going to delete most of it. I'm going to leave one recipe because we'll need that template. And in fact, what I'll do is I'll copy this template right here, ready, because we're going to use that shortly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now then let me save this and go to database and what we're going to ultimately do here is call a function which is going to output our data when we get it from the database to the DOM. So this function is going to be called render.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recipe. We've not made this yet, but we will do in a second. And it's going to take in two arguments. So the first argument is going to be the data that we want to output. And we know we can get that using this change dot doc dot data. So we'll pass that through change dot doc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're passing the data through as the first argument. The second argument is going to be the ID of the document because we're going to link the ID of the document to the template that we output.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because in the future, if we want to then delete something from the DOM, we can query based on that ID. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll pass that in as well and we get that by saying change.doc.id. So we're calling this function and we're passing these two things in the data and the ID. Now we've not created that function yet, so we'll do it inside UI.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was called render recipe. That's what we invoke right here, render recipe. So let's say render.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recipe right here, and this is equal to a function, right? Remember it took in two arguments, the data and the id. So let's take those in as well here, data and then id. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what I'm going to do is use a template string, which is an addition to the JavaScript ES6 specification. And what that allows us to do is output data directly into a string. So I'm going to store this in a constant called HTML.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm going to set it equal to a template string. Now to create a template string, what we have to do is use backticks. So backticks on my keyboard are just below the escape key. So let me do this right here. Two backticks like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then let's go down to the next line. And what I'm going to do is paste in the HTML that I copied right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what we're saying is when we receive some kind of change and it's of added type, then what we're going to do is call this function and pass in the data and the ID to this function every time we get a new document that we want to add to the DOM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're calling this function and we're taking in the data and the ID and we're saying, okay, well, we want to output a new recipe to the DOM for this document. So what I'm going to do is generate some template, which we're ultimately going to output to the DOM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So before we output it, we want to just update the actual details inside it. Things like the title right here and the ingredients. So let's get rid, first of all, of this title and output the actual title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, how do we output a variable inside a template string?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the way we do it is by using dollar sign and then curly braces like so, and then the variable name. So we want to output the data and we want the title property on that data because remember over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the whole data, this object, and we have a title property and an ingredients property. So we're outputting the title right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're doing that from this data. The next thing we want to do is output right here, the data.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ingredients. So we'll say data dot ingredients.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so now we're outputting both of those things. Now I also want to output this ID in a couple of different places because this is going to make it easier later when we're either querying the database when we want to delete something or remove the entire thing from the DOM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're gonna output this ID in two different places. The first place I'm gonna put it in is the actual div wrapper for this new recipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm going to create a data attribute, data hyphen ID, and that is going to be equal to some kind of variable. So again, we need to do our dollar sign curly braces like so, and we want to output the ID right here, whatever we pass in here, which remember is just the ID of the document change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we've done that right here, we also want to add this same thing to the delete button.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Down here, so the icon, because when we come to delete something, if we click that on the page, then I want to immediately grab this ID so I can query the database.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To delete that document with the ID, then when it's deleted, I want to delete the overall div that has the ID as well. So that's why we put it in two different places here. We could do it just using this, but there'd be more kind of traversing the DOM and I think it's just easier to output it in two different places.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now we have for each document that we want to output to the DOM this bit of template. And now we need to take that and actually output it to the DOM. Now where do we want to output it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if we take a look in index, we want to output inside this div right here called recipes, right? This is the class of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So first of all, I'm going to delete this because this was the template we just used. We don't need that anymore. And I'm going to save it. Then I want to get a handle from the JavaScript to this div with a class of recipes. So inside UI again, I'm just going to come to the top of the file and I'll say const.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recipes. So that gets us a handle on that div. Now we want to append this HTML to that div. So then let's now say recipes, which gets us that div because we stored it in this constant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right here. So this constant. So what we're doing is taking this div and we're getting the inner HTML and adding this to it. So it's going to output it inside this div right here after the H6. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right then. So let us now save this and come over here. We're going to save this now as well. So hopefully when we run this in the browser, we should see those two things, which we do in the DOM. So because we're getting these two things as document changes back to our application.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inside our JavaScript for each one of those changes, remember, because we're cycling through each one, each one of them, they're both type added. We're calling this render recipe function. We're passing in the data and the doc ID.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then in that render recipe function, we're taking in the data and the ID, we're creating this template and then we're outputting it to the recipes in the HTML. And that's happening twice, once for each document change, because there's two inside the database, these two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is why we see them right here. Now, if I refresh, you might notice a little flicker because it takes a second just to load them like that. So then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we are getting all of our data from the database.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But notice if we go offline over here, I'm going to go to service workers offline and refresh, then we can't actually access the data. We're not doing anything with offline at the minute and we don't see the page either. And that's because we commented out all of this stuff down here in the fetch event handler. So we're not caching assets anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what we're going to do is talk about offline data using Firestore in the next video so we can start to enable this for the user.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay then gang, so now we've seen how to add new recipes using this form over here and that adds a new document to the Firestore database and we've seen this behavior online and offline as well and this all works. However, what I'd like to do now is show you how to delete recipes by clicking on these trash icons. So when we click on one of these, I want to delete that recipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, there's a couple of ways I could do this. The first way is to attach an event listener to each one of these icons right here. And when we click on one of those icons, it deletes that recipe. But I don't wanna do that for two reasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first reason is that it means we're gonna have to attach an event listener to every single icon on the page. And if there were a lot of recipes, then that is quite a costly thing to do, and it's not great for performance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second reason is that when we add a new recipe, it means that we're then also going to have to attach a new event listener to the new trash icon on that new recipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So again, not best for performance if we have to do that all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead, what I'm going to do is use event delegation. And what that means is I'm going to attach just one event listener to the div that surrounds this entire section, all of the recipes. So that div in the HTML is this div right here with a class of recipes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I'm gonna do that so that if we click anywhere inside that div, then it's gonna fire a callback function. And inside that callback function, we're gonna check if we actually clicked a delete icon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The event source was a delete icon, then we'll delete that recipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this way we only ever have to attach one event listener to the surrounding div instead of multiple to the icon itself. And also when we add new recipes, because that new recipe will be inside the surrounding div, we don't have to worry about attaching new event listeners. It's all going to work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then, let's do this. First of all, I want to take a look at the HTML of this. So if we go over here to UI, we can see this is the HTML, right? And this is the trash can. So ultimately, when we click anywhere inside the wrapper, we want to check if we've clicked an eye tag, this icon right here. Because if we have, that's when we want to delete the recipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, let's go back to DB and put in this functionality. I'm gonna do a comment first of all that says, delete a recipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And underneath, I'm going to say const recipe container is equal to documents dot query selector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it's gonna be this thing over here inside the index recipes right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm going to paste it in right here. So now we have a handle on the wrapper of all these different recipes. Now what I'm going to do is attach an event listener to this container so that if we click anywhere inside it, then it's going to fire a callback function. So we'll say add event listener.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we want to listen to the click event and then we want to fire a callback function, which takes in that event object when it happens. So what I'm going to do for now is just console.log the event object. And now what I'm going to do is come over to the service worker and update.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I'm gonna save that and come over here to application, skip waiting and I'm doing this so that we can recache the db.js file and get the up to date version. Then I'm gonna refresh the page, come to the console and click over here somewhere. I'm gonna click on the trash icon itself and we get this event object load to the console because that's what we did over here, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if we expand this and we come down and find the target, which is here. And inside that we want to look for the tag name. So go right to the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should be able to see the tag name and we can see that it's I because it's an I tag and it's in capitals. So what we want to do is check when the event fires, is this the tag that we clicked by using these properties? First of all, the target, then the tag name. Now, if I clicked over here, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then expand this and go down to target and then right down at the bottom, we want to go to tag name again, which is here. We can see it's an image tag. So we only want to delete the recipe when the tag name is the trash icon or rather when the tag name is an eye for the icon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's do that now. I'm going to comment out this, then I'm going to do a little if check. So I'll say if the event dot target dot tag name is triple equal to I, and it was a capital I, that's when we want to delete it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we want to get the ID of the recipe that we want to delete and remember in ui.js this is the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is the template and we have the ID right here because we output it dynamically when we received it from the Firestore database. So this is the ID of the document that we want to delete. So we need to get that by using this attribute data hyphen ID. So back over here, I'm going to say const ID is equal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a method to get the attribute from an element in the DOM and we want the data hyphen ID attribute. So once we have that, we can actually delete that document from the database. And the way we do that is by saying db.collection and we want the recipes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we pass in the ID of the document we want from the Firestore collection. And that is going to be this document with this ID. So we pass in an ID and it gets a reference to that document stored in the database. Then we just use the delete method to do that. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then, now if I save this, go back to the service worker and again I'm gonna have to increase this to v6 because we've changed it. Save it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go over to the application service worker, skip waiting, and then we're going to refresh over here. And now if I click on this, then it should delete it from the database.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we see no change here, but if we go to the database, we can see now we only have three, it deleted it, and Ninja Noodles is no longer there. We'd actually have to refresh completely to see this update over here. Now if I do that, we don't see the Ninja Noodles anymore. So what I'd like to do is actually react.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when something is deleted here, it updates our UI.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we need to go to our db.js file to do that. Up here remember, when something is added, we react by calling this function. But when something is removed, we don't react at all yet. So what I'm going to do now is actually call another function from here that we're going to create in a minute. And this is called removeRecipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And inside here, I'm going to pass in the ID of the recipe that we want to remove. So change, which is the object we get back here. Remember when there's a change in the database.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Change dot doc to get the document reference dot ID. So this is the ID of the document, which has just been removed and we're passing it into this function, which we now need to define over in UI dot JS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we'll create a new function. This is going to be called remove recipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And set it equal to this function. We're taking the ID as a parameter because we pass that in from over here. Remember this ID. And then what we want to do is search the DOM for a div, a recipe that has this ID up here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the way we're going to do that is by saying const recipe is equal to document dot query selector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we want to find a div with this class recipe, but also with this attribute. Now, the way I'm going to do this in here is by using a template string, the back ticks, because that means we can output an ID variable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we're going to look for .recipe, that's the class. Then we're going to use square brackets to say we're going to also look for this class that has a data hyphen id attribute equal. And then we want to output the id in the dollar and then curly braces like so. So this right here is an attribute selector in CSS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we use square brackets, it looks for this attribute, which has this value. Okay. So now it's going to get us a reference to that recipe with that ID that we want to delete. And all we have to do now is say recipe.remove. This is a DOM method to remove an element from the DOM. So this should all work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, ui.js is in this cache right here. So we need to update this to v4 for this to work and save it. Now, if we come over here, go to application, skip waiting and refresh. And now hopefully, cross your fingers, this should all work. So let me delete this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that didn't work, I had to refresh then to actually see that change and I think it's because inside our cache we've not updated the DB file because we actually called


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This function right here. So yeah, we need to update that in the cache as well. So let's change this to v7 and save that and then come back over here. Now go to service workers, skip waiting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And refresh. And now if we delete something, again, cross your fingers. Let's hope this works this time. Delete. And now it goes. So it updates in the database. And because we have a listener set up to listen to those changes, it removes it from the DOM as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, what I'm gonna do is just add in something else. What have I got over here? Ninja soup. So I'll just say Ninja smoothie again. And I'm gonna add in banana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Press add, so we get that back. Now what I'm gonna do is go offline and see if this behaviour still works. So, click offline and refresh. And now if we try to delete something, like Ninja Smoothie, it's gonna go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, like I said, Firestore under the hood is leveraging indexed DB.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that all of the queries are interacting with this now and everything is still working the same locally when we're offline. Now if we go to the database, we don't see it deleted yet. But the minute that we come back online, if we go to service workers and then uncheck that, refresh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we can see that that gets deleted, so it's syncing up in the background again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So everything now is always kept up to date and fresh. Even when we go offline and then come back online, it's seamless. The user doesn't know otherwise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this isn't just good for offline behavior, it's good even when we're online because if we already have data stored locally, Firestore doesn't always need to reach out to the real database for it. It can just reach out locally for it in the browser database. And this could speed up the app and improve performance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now we have it offline mode for assets like pages and images and CSS and also offline mode for dynamic database data as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had came home. I didn't even know who bro was. When I came home, I seen he was lit as shit. I'm like, oh yea, that's when it was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, that nigga Lil Pump listening to your shit. He was listening to your shit. And that's when they showed me. I was like, oh yeaah, that's lit. That's when one time I came out, uh, LA. I had DM'd him. He had DM'd me back. But you know, niggas be busy as shit. Right. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably like 15 minutes, 20 minutes to DC, like 45 minutes to Baltimore, and I'm right there by like the Redskin Stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for sure. As soon as I say Merlin, they automatically think Baltimore and that's totally different. Like, I don't even, I don't really be out there, but I love Baltimore though. It's all love out there. Cause they, they just, they, like, they, they got a different culture out there. Like, it's just different, but we in the same state. Yeah, it's hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it was cool growing up, like, my mother, she ran like, that's, her house was like, she used to be a CO and shit. My mother used to be a CO in the DC jail and shit. So like, she used to do that. That's when she started running a daycare. She started running a daycare like out of her house. Like it'd be ten, twelve kids and then that's from when I was like, probably from like, since I was a baby to, I probably was like seven or eight or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my upbringing, I used to be chillin'. You know what I'm sayin', night time my uncles come over there, like growin' up I ain't never see like no, no man figure in my life like go to work or nothin'. All, all the men in my family were street niggas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I know where he was at. My father was in my, he was in my life when I was young, but it just like, it got like, as I got older.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? He like, he in the streets, so he just, it wasn't like we was spending more, it wasn't, we wasn't, we wasn't spending time like how we used to, you know what I'm saying? It's like he was in the streets, deep. You know what I'm saying? He was deep in the streets, he was just doing him. He wasn't calling. He might come back two years or three years later like, what's up, happy birthday. And he might duck back off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, hell yeah, my mother, she from DC, she from the trenches. Trenches like, where it's really fucked up at. You know what I'm saying? But, she grinded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They'll pit me in a better position, you know what I'm saying? So I ain't really have to go through a lot of not eating, you know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, struggle, struggle. I've been through a struggle though. It was times where, you know what I'm saying, my mother was, shit was fucked up, but at the most part, my mother did her job, you know what I'm saying. I just was a, was a boy, you know what I'm saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I always was bad. Like, I don't know why, I just was bad. I always wanted, if my mother see the stove hat, I gotta go over there and touch that motherfucker. Like, that's just how I was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My first time really getting in trouble, like in trouble trouble when I was probably like seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She going through my shit. I'm like, that ain't right. What you doing? She going through my shit. She see the pictures and shit. She like, is you smoking? The fuck? Why you smoking a cigarette for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And she kerkin' on me, so that was like the first time I really got in trouble with some big wild shit, but, you know what I'm sayin', you already know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, growing up, that's just, I always, that's what they, my family always instilled in me. Cause like, it was all the street people around me. Ain't no snitching, it ain't no writing like, your name mean everything to you, bruh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you just can't do that, you know what I'm saying? But a lot of people getting raided, like some people's family don't instill in that side of these niggas. So, like, these niggas be fucked up in the head, cause they, they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They ain't even led the right direction, so they be out here thuggin'. But they'll tell like shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first, cause I look at myself like I'm a cool nigga. You know what I'm saying? I don't, I don't be trying to be gangsta. Well nah, I just, I'm a man. Like, as long as you show me respect, I'ma respect you. I don't give a fuck where you from, who you is, what you do. You know what I'm saying? You show respect, I'ma respect you, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, as I'm getting in the industry, I just be, I be people like, niggas be intimidated, you know what I'm saying? Niggas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're too much of a real nigga, you gon' see they flow, and you gon', and you gon' pick em out. Nigga already know he fake as fuck, so he, he don't wanna be around no real nigga. Know what I'm sayin', so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how I be feelin' like the endin'. That's when the industry so fake, you know what I'm sayin'? Everybody know the industry fake. When they a real nigga, real nigga in town, you know what I'm sayin'? They gon', they gon' try they best to, I don't, I ain't fuckin' with it, you know what I'm sayin'? So, real niggas always last though, bruh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anytime, like anytime I crash out, I might get life, you know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just, I was trippin'. Like, I used to be trippin'. I used to be trippin', bruh. I used to be poppin' bars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Poppin' Miley, I used to be doin' all type of shit and I just used to do, like, how another nigga, another nigga pop bars, they'll go to sleep. Me, it was like, it put energy in me, I just, if I think it, I do it, and I, and I just be out, I'll be outside just, outside thuggin'. I'm, I'm doin' all type of shit, six, 14, 15, 16, just trippin'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, I was, I was, I was, I was trippin'. Poppin' bars, like when I felt, like I caught attempted murder when I was 15.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I had came home when I was 18. I never had seen those Xanax bars. I never had seen that shit. So, I'm just coming home, niggas getting high, popping them and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three months later, I'm skinny as shit, I lost like 50 pounds. Small as shit, you look at all my old videos, I probably weigh like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to be out, I used to be outside, I used to be outside DC. And that's why niggas fuck with me because since a young nigga always moved around, I ain't never been no stand still nigga, always moved around and politicked with the real niggas. Right. Know what I'm saying? So that's, that's how I, that's how I curated it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to, I had to rule out lunch hope, crash hope for me to stop fucking with that shit. You know what I'm saying? I had to get locked up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, cause I don't, cause I be feeling like when you do that you giving a nigga glow. You know what I'm saying? Like he's attempting murder bruh. You know what I'm saying? Like, that shit not cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's just, like, this shit just not, this shit just not nothing to brag about or nothing like that, but it was a nigga that I was close with, you know what I'm saying? I fucked with, like, he was older than me, like, I looked that nigga like on some Big Brother shit, and nigga just tried to curry me. So, you know what I'm saying? That's just how that shit went.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I love that nigga, I love that nigga, and he tried to curry me, like he just tried to curry me like a, like a, like I was a sucker or something. So, I just, I did what I had to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did two years. I did two years. I came home when I was 18. That's when, but I was a showhunt. Like, when I first got locked up, they took me to the adult shit. So I, like, I had to take, wait like two months to get waved down. So when I was 16, I was with 30. I was up in the big boy jail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you gotta think, when I first called my charge, like, the whole time people was telling me I was gonna do 15 years, people was telling me I wasn't gonna come home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 20 years, that's like, as soon as I came in process and they like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They read my paperwork, I'm like, I'm asking them, cause I'm curious, you know, I'm young, I just called it something to murder, I'm like, I'm gonna sign anything I'm gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? They like, man, man, you, you gonna be, you, you gonna see your mother when she, when she probably 80 years old, 90 years old. You probably gonna do 25 years. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my head, I'm like, man, I'm just trying to get five years. I'm just trying to get five years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, that's all in my head. I was just thinking when I had the time. I just wanna come home when I'm 21. I wanna come home when I'm 20. I don't wanna come home when I'm 30. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you get pinned on positions, you start wanting, you know what I'm saying? It be fucked up, like who the fuck want five years? But at that point, that's what I wanted though. And I had got two years out of the situation, so I looked at it like, damn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I came off, I looked real sweet, you know what I'm sayin'? And it was shell wine, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was some juvenile shit. I went to a placement. They sent me a placement. Something like cleaning the horses and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All that, like, it was some juvenile shit. And that's when I came home and I had to call three more charges. Just trippin'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I don't know, like, I just, at that point in my life, I just, I don't know. I just lost a lot of people. And if I was sober, I feel like it just could have probably been different. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So, like I just capped when that, when I came on when I was 18 I was trippin'. And that's when I caught three more charges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a gun charge, a UUV charge, and an armed robbery, but they was all just, they was, they was serious charges, but they was all just dumbass charges. I would just hide up, you know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They was just wild ass charge and I was with my man. I was just with wild ass niggas. Know what I'm sayin'? So that's just how that shit went. And I stood up as a man, I stayed solid so a lot of the weight was just put on me for real. Know what I'm sayin'? And I was with young niggas, they was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 16, 17, I was 18 so they was trying to curb him. They was in the juvenile shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I only did it, I had copped out the uh, five years, all suspended but one. So I only did it one year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I got four years back up now. I ain't going, I ain't going no tough probation. I, like, you come home, it's like, you be on the high probation, then boom, you do your piss, that shit runs. You are, you ain't getting high. Boom, then they lower your levels. So now, I live at home, like, what, 18 months?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been home like 18 months, so my level low as shit. Like all she gotta do is just call me. I could probably pull up on her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, cause where I'm from, I'm the only one doing this. It's not like, it's not like, New York or Cali or Atlanta where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? So, she understand that. So, you know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just gotta go through the process. You gotta, you gotta, you gotta man up and just go through the process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was 15, I used to have like, I used to, I used to say hope, like, you know, like, you would just be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yea, you know you a street nigga, but you might, you get a Benizel, or do this, or do some, or do that. Once I caught that temp, and I did it like, I lost all that. It was like, I'm just a street nigga. Like, it like, up and down. And when you do that, it's only death or jail. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just doing a lot of shit, experimenting with drugs, just going through a lot of shit. I lost my, I lost my father, like who, who really damn near raised me. Not my biological father, but who damn near raised me, but he had been going to prison, all that, like, I lost him too, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Popping balls bruh, it was just, man that shit damn devastated me bruh. But I bounce back so that's why a lot of niggas be hating on me. Cause I was fucked up bruh like, I used to be fucked up and now, I'm shining.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm still that same person for real. You can still snap. Yeaah, I'm still that same person. When they be saying, I be feeling like they, when they be like, man we want the old kid, they just be saying, they just want me to be saying dumb shit. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, some shit I'll just be having to dumb it down for them, but it'll just be too advanced. Motherfuckers don't wanna think, they wanna just hear that shit. They want you dumb it down for them. So you know what I'm saying? That's what they be asking for, but I'ma do my type of music, bruh. I'ma keep evolving. I ain't gonna stay on no trap shit. I done did that shit. You know what I'm saying? I done did that shit P-level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit, probably like five, just growing up rapping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it just, you know what I'm saying, like, uh, 50 Cent, drop and get rich with that trine, shit like that. That shit, that shit just make you be like Nelly, watching that nigga Nelly. I was always-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell yeaah. That's what I'm saying. I feel like I've been here before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my nigga right there though. That's why I'm probably gonna make him my security so I can give him some, so I can give him a bag so he can be fucking with me. There you go. You know, so instead of just coming out of town, being around me for free, I'm gonna give him a bag. Do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Niggas wasn't standing up as a man. It just like, niggas wasn't represented. So when I was home, well we was. You know what I'm saying? Niggas wasn't playing. Niggas wasn't playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, niggas wasn't just talking out their neck, but when I got locked up, niggas ain't stand up as man, niggas just, like, and niggas wasn't even contacting me when I was locked up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how, that's what me and my brother trying to do. We trying to start some shit in the DMV, start some little businesses, open some stores up. I just, I be feeling like, them people is mad. Them people is just so crazy. They don't think a nigga can do nothing positive. Soon as you do something positive, they just think everything negative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am in our cottage in the mountains, or close to the mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally. I have been longing so much to come here to the cottage and spend some time in the mountains. The last month I have been planning to go like every week, but then something have come up and then I've been like, okay, I go next week. And then it's just, the time has just passed. But, but now I am here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I'm here alone. Uh, so I'm not here for the honeymoon as we talked about earlier. Me and Johan wanted to go here to the cottage after our wedding and just, you know, spend some time here having some vacation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we, we want to wait with that vacation until we really feel that we can take some time off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When things have calmed down a little bit. So I am actually here


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my nyckelharpa, the instrument, so that whatever


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inspiration comes to me when I'm here. I'm gonna be able to do it and work with it. It's been like a tradition for me every autumn to go through mountains. And there's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is the first year that we have our very own cottage where I can stay. And that feels still a little bit too good to be true. Before we had the cottage I stayed in motels or hotels or slept in my car. But then I couldn't really stay as long as I wanted and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't sleep in the car for too long because, you know, I needed to charge the cameras and everything. But now I have this. Like the coosiest cottage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, keep the flow. But when I finally accepted that, I won't be able to upload anything from here and wait until I get home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It kinda felt good in a way. Cause normally, whenever I'm done with something, a film or a photo or whatever, then I just share it immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let them grow a little bit. Just see what comes. I don't have to hurry with anything and, and for some reason I think it's kind of meant to be to have no internet here because it's not until I'm disconnected from internet that I really realize


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you have like no distractions. Then you are really alone with yourself. You really get to know...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How you feel, how you think. You get so aware of yourself and your mind and how you're really doing. And you can't escape from it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I think, or I'm sure, that the TV, the phones, the internet, the computers, all of that is distracting us from ourselves. So whenever we feel something that we don't wanna feel, we just take up the phone and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the first thing I did when I came here was to write down a huge list of projects and things that I wanted to accomplish while I was here in the cottage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it took me a few days to really find a rhythm here, but now it feels much better. I enjoy every second of being here and I don't feel stressed about time running out. So I'm spending my days filming and doing photography and going to different beautiful places and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Creating music and, you know, different, many, many different projects at the same time. And I'm usually out from early morning until evening when the sun goes down. And I'm still not really used to the sun going down so fast now. I mean, during the summer it's light all night and now it's dark by nine in the evening and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, comfortable and so much at home because all of the stuff in here belongs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, it's a bit strange to buy a cottage and all the things are still left from someone else. And he's not aware that we have it now. But it hasn't felt bad in any way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's actually the opposite, because I don't know this man. I have never seen him before. Well, there's photos of his parents on the wall, so I know how they look. At least I think it's his parents. And they look very kind, especially the woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels like you get to know a person through the stuff that they have. When looking at all these things that he have here, at least most of them, I just love them. He seemed to be a very good man and he had a very good style. Because this is how my dream cottage looks like, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, most of the things here are so beautiful. You can really see from...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The stuff in here that he loved being out in nature. He picked a lot of berries and he has all these old beautiful maps from the mountains, so I guess he spent a lot of times up in the mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also he had lots of warm clothes. Like the last winter I spent the whole winter wearing his clothes because he had so good, you know, socks and long stockings and sweatshirts that were really warm. Well, everything is in a huge size, but that doesn't really matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's one thing in here that I thought was a little bit funny or weird. There's a painting on the wall. Well, he has a lot of beautiful paintings here. But one painting was this blonde girl in a white dress out in the mountains or in nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's just beautiful there. And they have a tap for water, so I go there once a day to get some drinking water. They also have a grocery store there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know exactly how long time I'm gonna stay here now, but definitely a few more days. I'm not done here yet. So my beautiful friends, thank you so much for watching this video, and I see you soon again. Muah! Bye bye!

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm wondering if that was on the minds of the White Sox today, many months later, cause you know what? It was on my mind!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. What up? I'm JCO, uh, DJ, producer. Um, me and Red got this new project called 1000 volts. That's right. Right. We, uh, melding hip hop and electronic music in the way no one has ever done before. Heavy bass music, Red versus super high energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, we're, we're unrolling the project, got a new EP about to drop and about to start touring this year and really shake shit up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like he was saying, the energy of it, that's what brought me to it, cause I came up as like a turntable as battle DJ, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hip-hop, you know, DMC, like everything, and uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, producing that I was like, I want to make this type of music and then bring it right along. It's just like an organic fusion of hip hop and electronic because I'm, I'm really hip hop, you know, how I come and how I've been DJing for 20 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, that's why I read Trust Me when I'm like, yo, trust me, fuck with this beat. Right. And he's like, you know, I got him at a point now where he really trusts me and we've made a lot of crazy records and it's going to blow some people's minds when we drop this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, exactly. The energy is just like, you can't, you can't match that energy. It's like everyone goes there just with the mindset of I'm going to have the time of my life. Exactly. Hip hop shows, everyone has like different opinions. Yeah. Everyone's like cross arm like this. Like you don't see that at Raze, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, well I was on a VH1 TV show called Master of the Mix, which was like a reality show, competition, DJ show, and I actually won the whole show. And he even realized until after we were in the studio, he's like, wait a minute, that is you mothafucka. I was like, yup. Holy shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was on the first season. Oh, he was on- Yea, it was on BET for two seasons and then it moved to VH1. I was like, damn, I might have to go try and get this real quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DJing. It's called mash of the mix. It was like picture like chopped, but about DJing. Every episode was like a different aspect, like the hip hop challenge, team challenge, EDM challenge, producer challenge, remix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not, well the only time that there was like an actual producer thing, we all had to remix an Estelle song in one night. Okay. And then the next day they gave us some studio time and Estelle pulled up on us. But it was like a lot more DJ centric than producer centric. It had like some producer stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, it was literally 10 episodes, day after day, people getting eliminated, it was crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My whole life has been Redman. Yeah, like Muddy Waters was one of the first vinyl records I had. I remember my first whip, driving around, Doc's the name, like everything. He's been one of my favorite artists of all time since I got into hip hop. So the fact that we're in a group together now is just, it's still crazy to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I gotta watch myself when we're in the studio. I can't keep up with them or I'm gonna be retarded. I don't, I won't know how to make shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like, I hit a little joint on the side, he's chain smoking backwards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well, basically we, since we, we did that first record that came out of the Croatia thing, I'm gonna send him a bunch of beats and he's like, I want to write to all these, right? But, uh, over the course of the next year and a half, two years, we're, he's working on ideas and they're just kind of all over the place. And we hit a groove on a couple of records. We're like, yo, this is the vibe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're like, if we do this, a whole project like this, we could really tour this and really like break down some walls between electronic and hip hop that no one has ever done. So we've just been banging out tracks since, uh, it's been a, it's been a minute since we started working together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're about to drop this EP, uhm, March 1st on Dead Beats, which is Zedd's record label. Oh, okay. And uhm, gonna start hitting the ground running once that comes out, probably do a couple festival plays or something like that this summer and then start touring heavy after that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's insane man, just for me, especially like, cause we work a lot over like email and stuff, but when we're in the same room together and working on songs and he's laying down stuff in my studio and I'm like yelling him to do more dog barks and shit.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I feel like all these, these like, you know, the rappers you're talking about, it's more like rhythmic rap than lyrical. You know what I'm saying? They're just like, doesn't matter what they're saying. If the rhythm of the words works with the beat, then it works. But like, you know, real hip hop, that shit won't cut it. You know, you gotta have, you gotta have bars. That's right.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like everything we make is, is hard, you know, it's not like, cause some people think of EDM, they think of like trance and techno and shit, but this is the complete opposite of that. All of it is hard, heavy energy that you could like really bent more than head nod, you know, just fucking just go off to, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause a lot of people have different ideas of that, you know, but there's like within EDM, there's probably like 50 sub genres now, you know, our shit is like kind of like trap dubstep hybrid, but everything has the core element of hip hop in it, you know, so if you fuck with that shit at all, like our shit is going to blow your mind.
