[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy shit. Is that my biggest strike yet? No, I don't think so. I think I got a strike on this one at one point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, pause. Pause. What am I at? 257. Well this, this is, this is likely to be my biggest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think now is when I really have to change strategy. I don't even think, I think there's a path to still getting, stop zooming in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, that looked really good for a second. Until those two didn't fall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think there's a path to 700 anymore. STOP YOU FUCKING BITCH!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, it still would have been only in the 600s. So that's still only a bronze. We hit a lot of pins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's all I can say there. We, we pretty much tied that one. And we got, uh, half of the strikes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How does that even work? How does that work out? Ah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I bet I have three left here. Standing on this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, that one's three though. So we're getting worse right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oi! I can't believe that worked. That was very generous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That might be the biggest piece of generosity this game has given me today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was ungenerous. That was downright frickin...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me quit. Yes, please, waste more of my time that you haven't already wasted enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New strategy. See, that's 78 times 2, that's massive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So 500 is silver, 600 is gold, and 700 is a platinum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need some of you guys to, to, to, to give me a generous fall here to, to make it, to give me like some times deuce, but we're just not getting it. So that's, this one's probably already dead. I don't even know if you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess there's always the chance that you hit all of them for the rest of the game and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if you want to keep holding. You can probably breathe. Do whatever you want. Because I didn't like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Changing strategies mid game there to hopefully get a better results. Well, three remaining is about on par.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two remaining is about on par, but we'd, we'd really like to see a, a striker Rooney right about here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is about as far from a striker rune as you can get. That's a shitter rune.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's, let's try this again. Now I, I do believe that this only works on this last throw here. Hey, how about you not zoom in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, fuck me. Am I stupid or just dumb?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I really liked that throw as well. I thought I was gonna get four in a row, but no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This game don't roll like that. Nah, we got screwed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm kinda moonballing a bit. If you've noticed, that's somewhat been my strategy to try to moonball that bitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, now I've done the same thing twice in a row though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I hate it when you do that, right? I hate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let me go ahead and start banging my head into the wall because now we're stuck in the cycle of miss or no strike restart, no strike restart, no strike restart, no strike restart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know why I'm playing through. I'd have to get all these strikes, I think, and that's not looking like a strike, is it? I don't like this platinum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going for this again. Not because it's worth anything. I'm gonna stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think, you think that would be how it would happen. You know, all you have to do is like hit one pin and it will eventually just domino effect into each other and they all fall. Why are pins the way that they are? Why aren't pins easier to domino effect?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoever designed the bowling pin wanted this sport to be painful. I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm sure that design is particularly in a way that makes it really hard for them to just always knock into each other and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. That's a big one. What is that? 55 times 2?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't, that did not slice the pins how I wanted it to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, this is just, this is, I mean, this is stupid. I mean, these are the easiest throws of the game and I can't even get it. So, you know, start looking at this logically. If I can't get the easiest throws in a fucking game, how am I gonna get the hardest ones? And therefore, how am I gonna get this Platinum medal?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, if progress isn't being made, what is being made? Shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, yeah, now you're frustrating me. Deeply.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, there's no, there's no quadruple shits. Although that, that, that throw didn't seem bad. In my humble opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miracles? Wow, that's pretty much the exact opposite of a miracle. If you're a pin, that was a miracle. That not more of them fell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, that's dog poop. Poopy poopy poopy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Poopy, poopy, poopy, poopy, poopy. I'm done. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm done. This, this platinum's too hard. It's too hard. It's impossible. It's not impossible. I'll get it one day, but not today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My team has yeaah, there's been two bugs! They've been two for two eggering it! And not only that, I keep on using my d-pad to be like, hey, throw it over here! And then it still goes right down the middle!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, don't swing at anything! Please, for the love of God, this is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wouldn't, wouldn't, wouldn't most cases the picture just pick that up off the ground right there? But, but, but my character's frozen!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watch XQC Fortnite Rage, it's so funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The schools were repeatedly kicked out of their buildings, shuttled students among multiple sites including the Signature Grand Reception Hall in Davie, two local churches in Fort Lauderdale, and Holiday Park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They also bussed students on daily field trips because they didn't have enough classrooms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This entire mission is a serious misallocation of valuable military resources. Eh, go on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a smile she had. It was an intelligent, brave smile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I were dead. Just then, Helen arrived, bringing my coffee and bread. I was too upset to eat or drink, but she sat with me for some time, talking gently to me, wiping away my tears and helping me to recover. When Miss Temple came to look for me, she found us sitting quietly together. Come up to my room, both of you, she said. We went to her warm, comfortable room upstairs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have been accused and you must have the chance to defend yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I told her the whole story of my lonely childhood with the Reed family, and of my terrible experience in the Red Room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, five times what you and I earn, answered the other. But she's good at the work, I expect, said the first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She understands what she has to do, that's true. And not everyone would want to do her job. Not even for all that money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this review has taken me a good long time to get out here. It was five months ago that I last posted a video about the Decent, and that's a pretty long time. But here's the issue that I have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't make espresso every day. I don't have an espresso machine at home. I don't want one at home. And even at work, I may not make espresso every day. And if I do, I may not have time to put in to make espresso with the decent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's taken me five months to really kind of get my head around it, to think about it and come to what I hope are opinions worth sharing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To start with, I want to talk about some of the things that I really like about the Decent Machine, uh, the DE1+, and then I want to talk a little bit more about some things that I struggle with a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using this machine is, it, it feels like you're on the cutting edge. It feels like, uh, nothing else I've ever used, uh, primarily because you just get so much data before, after, during your espresso.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? To be able to see the amount of data that you can, both live temperature, live pressure, live flow, and if you have the scales connected, live, uh, weight of liquid in the cup, all on one screen as it's happening, that's kind of amazing. That's really like nothing else. And to be honest, at the price point that it's at,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing really touches it. I don't think it's a cheap machine, but I think it's staggeringly good value for money if you consider what it's capable of versus other machines at that price point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second thing I love, and I kind of just touched on it a little bit, but flow itself is fascinating, right? To be able to, to see flow, which is kind of an output variable, right? Like, if you consider pressure as an input,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your espresso kind of falls to pieces and suddenly flow picks up at one particular point, seeing flow is super interesting. And then in theory, being able to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exciting. Though, I'll touch on this a little bit later. Right now, the potential is not completely met by the machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The insides of this thing are, to me, a little bit over-specced. It can do a lot of stuff. It's got a lot of hardware in there. Now, the upside of this is that it feels future-proofed, right? Like it feels like updates to software will increasingly unlock functionality and potential in the machine, as more and more is understood about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a lot of thought gone into stuff like descaling, decalcification within it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something that is actually really fantastic about this machine is the community that's growing around it. Now, a decent host


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a kind of community message board that you get access to when you buy a machine. And that is a fascinating place. That is an extremely active community, an extremely thoughtful community that I'm very grateful to have access to and be a part of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So self-starting, like people are creating things, people are 3D printing things to share within the community. I love this kind of approach. I love this kind of community. I think that's incredibly powerful and it's definitely a real added bonus of buying a machine like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like this because it's been a great tool for me, right? It has allowed me to learn more about espresso. It's allowed me to sort of think about it in new ways. And that's been extremely valuable to me. Now you're going to ask the question and quite rightly you're going to ask the question, well, how are the shots? Does it make amazing coffee?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it can, uh, and it can make terrible coffee, just like any coffee machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aromatic compounds that aren't there already, right? Like, like, uh, we're gonna get the best of what's there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the next great leap actually will come from raw coffee rather than from, from hardware. So don't think that this is gonna somehow make you a magically better espresso than you've ever made before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, I'm interested in everything being very good or above. That's really interesting to me, that's really desirable for me. And at the moment, that isn't necessarily what this machine offers, right? Like, it offers so much opportunity, so much, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of an enormous playground for experimentation that you're going to make some travel coffees and it's going to expose some flaws in your coffee making.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, you'll be able to see more clearly than ever before if your puck prep isn't good. And that's, that's ultimately, I think that's a good thing, but I think that really is important to consider when we talk about who this machine is really for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This machine, uh, another thing I liked is extremely portable. This machine just runs on a tank that sits underneath the machine. It's really easy to fill. I just fill it from the RO.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, output line at work, which has a little bit of blended, uh, harder water in there to like a nice level of minerality. That's easy. It comes in a flight case. I mentioned this in the previous video. So it's extremely easy to pack down, drain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be honest. And so I don't really steam much milk. And so I can't really speak to the capabilities of steaming on this machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The times I've used it, it's been good, but I can't really offer you an in-depth review on that because I'm just not making milk drinks day to day. Right? I'm just not. I'm typically just making espresso and drinking that. That's all I'm kind of interested in. I'm sorry that I can't give you a really in-depth thing on that. It's steamed good milk, plenty of steam. I have no issues with it, but I just can't deep dive on that today. So let's take, maybe talk about some stuff that you might call the downsides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'll be honest, I-I've made espresso primarily in more commercial environments, or-or sort of with commercial equipment for a long time. And to be honest, I miss...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the tablet itself is something of a contentious thing. A lot of people kind of annoyed at the idea of a tablet on there. I like the idea, broadly speaking, of a tablet. I have spent so long inside the walled garden of the Apple ecosystem that, that, uh, Android, as an experience,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a tiny detail, and ultimately I would kind of describe this machine as actually being a much more Android-y experience than an iOS type experience, right? You have all of the functionality unlocked. It's a total playground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, like it's, it's, there's a lot of menus, there's a lot of options you can kind of tap around, uh, play around, look up loads of different profiles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot, and some days I just wish for some simplicity. And if you don't want all of that stuff, then this is definitely not a machine for you. If you want all of the details, all of the features, everything, that's this machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Final note on the tablet, actually, is that the cable that links the tablet to the machine to power it is a Bluetooth connection between the two. That's an annoying little cable to me. The solution of having like a little stand on top of the machine to hold the tablet is good, but uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is best described as analysis paralysis. With this much data, it can very quickly be overwhelming and frustrating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I worked out pretty early on that I couldn't just roll up to the machine, pull a shot and walk away because the moment I pulled a shot, well, there was something that I wanted to understand more or change or tweak and lo and behold, 15, 20 shots later that was like, okay, I have to stop this now and go and do the thing I'm meant to be doing. So it will draw you in and that can be, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frustrating and I had this issue early days with things like pressure profiling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, where, you know, suddenly all of this possibility meant loads of experimentation but my coffee didn't taste any better and actually coffee making that was already difficult got a little bit more difficult. So, that side of it can be a little bit...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that kind of stuff at the start of the shot and just the kind of different noises the pump makes and all that kind of stuff. It catches me off guard a little bit. And I think if you're used to a certain type of experience, that will catch you off guard too. I don't think it's a bad thing that the machine is a little bit noisy, but it's definitely something to consider.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's summarize with a few different points. Can this make great coffee?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To use. I've made terrible shots on it, but I've made terrible shots on just about every machine I've ever owned, so I don't think that's particularly instructive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go down that route, I'm too excited, too interested to play with other stuff, for better or worse. And so, who should buy this coffee machine?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but really that's who this machine is for. People who, who really want to get...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're hands dirty, making espresso every day, who want to learn, who want to experiment, and who are okay with the fact that, you know, you might pull some accidentally bad shots. You're gonna end up going through more coffee with this machine, whether you like it or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold off. You know what I mean? That's just not what this is to me really built to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, when it comes to stuff like flow, which is really a whole new uncharted territory, well, we need to understand that a little bit more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you so much for watching. If you've got thoughts, ideas, comments, requests, leave those in the comments down below. I'd be very interested to read your thoughts. If you're a fellow Decent Espresso Machine owner,

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, we didn't have school uniforms. In fact, even in primary school, we had like a red t-shirt that they told you to wear, but no one wore it. So our principal would pay us 10 cents to wear it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How would you get that cash? In a little raffle ticket for the, for the, um, canteen at assembly on Monday mornings, whoever was in their red shirt, they'd walk around and give you a little, little ticket. Oh, that's great. That's cute. But then the rest of my school through high school, no uniform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I only, I pretty much just go for plain now. Did he? Yea, just plain. Plain hoodie. Plain t-shirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Body image insecurities, I mean a little bit, just like everyone else, but probably more, it's more putting yourself out there in securities, I guess. And it's getting easier and easier after doing this show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I actually don't know. It's just, it's just more like people will think stuff is shit and that's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is something I'm trying to not be as much of because, you know, you gotta please yourself first, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I remember we found, um, newspaper, not me, but my sister found newspapers under this house that they, um, our friend was renting. And yeah, it's crazy. It was like Don Bradman scored a hundred and like that sort of thing. The story's about Hitler. Wow. That might've made that up. Not sure. Sounds pretty good.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I sort of do argue against some of this because the, we talked about this last week, apparently the reported reason why Survivor series has had no build whatsoever is because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had to do Crown Jewel, and then the dra- and the draft hadn't before Crown Jewel, but the draft took effect after Crown Jewel, so they had to use the first two weeks to establish the new stars on Raw. We joked last week, just do the draft on a different date. You're in control. You're in control, it's a made up sport. You can do whatever you want. However,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Survivor series has still had four weeks between Crown Jewel and Survivor series. You could have done something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you, it's a three hour show. Are you telling me that like, are you telling me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They thought man, pfft, we just have not got enough time on this three hour show to establish some new stars on this brand and build a pay-per-view. Like that's, it's not that hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it is, it is ridiculous. And also in, in this, somehow, some way,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We now have not one, but two Heal Authority figures. Because we had, Sonya Deville was definitely a Heal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was never outwardly said. She brought in Charlotte Flair. So like, she was a heel authority figure without being a heel authority figure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now, Adam Pearce is definitely a heel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did the Brock Lesnar thing, and then last week with Dominic Mysterio, and this week with Ray Mysterio. He's now kicked off both of the Mysterios.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yeah, so now like, ooh, Adam Pearce has got beef with the Mysterios because he is a heel. And people will be asking, why? And I think it's because the writers thought


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's working so well with Defila Naomi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should just do it again with Pierce and the Mysterios. It's an objectively hot program. At the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Underperforming? But even so, like Shayna Baszler, Bobby Lashley is basically the Shayna Baszler of this storyline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lowest third hour ever. It's like 1.3 million viewers or something. It was a dreadful, dreadful night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, is this, so then Adam, Mackenzie, what's her name, Mackenzie Mitchell? Mackenzie Mitchell is talking with Adam Pearce, who then is like, oh I'm gonna take the microphone off you and I'm gonna walk out onto the stage. And he's like, hey Ray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're also off the team. I will replace- I will announce your replacement very soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Austin Theory attacks Dominic Mysterio, and Adam Pearce is like, Sorry, I forgot my line. It's actually, it's Austin Theory now. Oh, do you think it- No, I don't. It felt-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was also with, uh, Heal Adam Pearce, who is just the Heal General Manager, just of Raw and SmackDown. Why does he want Raw to win?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does he want Raw to win? Does he want Smackdown to win?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A heel. He's a heel authority figure who is dicking around mysterious in the same way that De Vil is dicking around with Naomi. He's just got beef for whatever reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, well, I assume, because they've also made a change, they've taken Sami Zayn off the Smackdown team, that he's gonna put Von Wagner into his space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I thought that, but then he wasn't on this show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the one night of the year. It's the one night. Apart from this night when a raw team did go against a Smackdown team. Survivors is the only one night of the year. Okay, so explanation aside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have, WWE have almost shot themselves in the foot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because back in the day, I say back in the day, a little while back, they made that whole announcement. You know, it was Vince and Shane and Stephanie and Tripp standing in the ring being like, we're sorry Baron Corbin's rubbish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all his fault that this show is awful and you are right to direct your anger towards him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of that, there'll be never- there will never ever again be Heal Authority figures. There'll never again be an Authority figure. We'll never do it again. You're the Authority, pal. And we promise that we're always gonna stick by that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they were like, ah, but the only way we know how to write stories is with authority figures. So, we'll just have authority figures, but we'll never say that they're authority figures. And because they've never done that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've never felt like they have a purpose. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've never felt like they've had characters or roles or wants and needs. They're just there. They're just sort of like plot devices. And now they're all of a sudden being like, ah, smack, no one cares about these plot devices. We need to give them characters, but never say they're an authority figure because we made that promise in the ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it just, I think it devalues them completely. So I wanted to read you this excerpt from The Wrestling Observer, this most recent one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever Vince perceives wrestling is weak, he goes backwards instead of forwards. Big guys, muscles, women with skin-pure attire, good-looking people, away from wrestling because in the 70s and 80s, wrestling quality didn't mean much, and heel authority figures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think it says a lot about the Build to Survivor series, that that's what we're supposed to be talking about, and we barely mention the fact that they've done nothing to Build to Survivor series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost like they woke up yesterday morning and thought,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, no, we didn't announce any matches. Like, I know we forgot to do the teams, but, oh man, we haven't, uh, it's, it's Priest versus Shinsuke Nakamura.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thing in Priest hasn't been on TV for two weeks, but there's Shinsuke Nakamura, who got pinned on Friday by-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either Humberto Carrillo or Angel Garza, I don't actually remember which one it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yea, great, great build going into that match everyone. Uhm, Biggie vs Roman, we finally announced that. Roman's just lost his first match in like 18 months, so his past Friday, good going. He got a crown though. He got a crown I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what else is there? Oh, Becky Charlotte. Becky Charlotte's the only one that feels like, and that stemmed from, them doing a bad job of booking the drafts. Aw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what I'm gonna do for predictions wise, and it's not like full gear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where I didn't know because the way they told the stories, it really could have gone either way with some of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is just apathy. I'm, I'm predicting based on, I mean, they could win, I suppose. It doesn't matter, so I'll just pick Damien Priest. Cause it probably will be Damien Priest, won't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but pay-per-you ticket sales always make money. Like, you know, ticket sale revenue is peanuts on the up at the moment because people are now going back to see live events.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you remember that, uh, survivor series when Triple H was on the team and he started that feud with Braun Strowman that never went anywhere and he turned on Kurt Angle for whatever reason?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite thing about that, and I remember you and I laughing about this so much, everyone was wearing the Dorky Team Raw t-shirts. Apart from Triple H, who had its own branded Survivor Series merchandise that was red, and Rollins had the half and half thing, so like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put that t-shirt on your dog. But not me though. I've got my own special merchandise. I'm selling it at the store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she is free now. She is. Yay. Yay. Yay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not a crossover audience. I really don't think it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most stupendous, no no, it's not the most stupendous, it's the most stupendous two nights WrestleMania in history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can't even, they don't even have the balls to say. Well that's because they know it will be better than the last two because, you know, half fans and no fans. Uhm, I mean, weirdly we should have seen this coming. Do you remember a couple of years back, about ten or so years ago, Vince wanted to stop doing Survivor series because he was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an outdated format, I don't like booking them, no one buys the pay-per-views we made, we'll just not do it. And there were enough people backstage that were like, no Vince, the prestige of Survivor Series, the legacy of Survivor Series, and he was like, alright pal, we'll do it then. And he has treated it like that forever since, which is like, alright then, I guess we're doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need to talk about our sponsor now. We need to talk about geology. However, Ollie, I would like to introduce you to my newest gimmick that I've now got for this podcast. Are you ready for this? I'm not aware of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He thought to himself, well Big E and Kevin Owens are going out there, I think a tag match might happen at some point. Someone's bound to attack them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and they were also, on this show, promoting that Survivor series is the one night of the year that Raw and SmackDown stars go head to head in direct competition. When the opening match of this saw Raw stars go in direct competition head to head with a team from SmackDown. But there was a Seth there. But they started as a tag match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, the one thing I would say that I did like about this, to find a positive from this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that there is a storyline reason why Randy Orton didn't run down to make the save.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he keeps telling Riddle, don't get involved with other people's business. And Riddle did that again, you know, the users were beating down Biggie, so Riddle made down to Ransom, you can almost feel Randy Orton's face, I'm like, idiot, idiot, idiot, stupid, stupid, stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, once Riddle's getting beaten up and Seth Rollins is joining in, he's like, well fine, now I have to run down and make the save.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I like that there is at least a storyline reason there. My positives end there. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I quite, I like that. That's really nice, yeaah. It's interesting as well because like, they were talking about this on the Fightful post-show with Sean and Denise that, Randy's so over as a baby face at the moment, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think you can turn him heel at this point in time. Like certainly not for a little while yet. Well turn him more baby face then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and I have been to raw tapings where they've done this, like, so now make their entrance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they walk down to the ring, they do the whole thing. And then, they just bring all the house lights down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, you know, show you stuff on the screen to distract you while the ad breaks are on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, they bring the house lights back up, play the music again, and they act like nothing ever happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I thought Bianca Belair lifting up Tamina at the end, like that's what this was all built around, was her hitting the KOD on Tamina. Yeah, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time John Cena F5 the big show, I was like, oh my god, have you seen this? He did another F5 to the big show. Uhm, but yea, like, it's, it's, I, I, so I appreciate that, particularly as well, like, she's feuding with Doudrop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, Tamina's going nowhere. Tamina's never gonna be a top contender, so beat her, it's fine. I thought it was like, this was a much better use of Tamina than her being a tag champ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then they had Liv Morgan come out and she went back to being a heel again. And this one segment here highlights why Survivor Series has been real bad this year, because she is a babyface in one feud and a heel in another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they were like, well, we've got to do both. I was like, you didn't really need to do both. You didn't need to set up Liv Morgan as the number one contender last week when you could have just spent time building Survivor series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, oh yeah, fair, true. So what you're saying is that without the Liv Morgan thing, we'd have just had Becky cut the same promo every week on Charlotte Flair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that was basically the extent of Becky's commentary, so I thought this was actually a really nice follow up from that. Just do this after Survivor Series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was only last year. That was only last year. It feels like a lifetime ago. Also fun fact for you. This is the 15th match between Street Profits and Alpha Academy in tags and singles since February.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing ever good comes from a coming soon video package.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you think of a video, a coming soon video package that really paid off for a debut? Thungasaurus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm talking like a proper like here is a new character debut. If anyone can remember a good one, that is known in the chat because I can't think of a single good one and it screams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, we've got nothing for you. Yes. It really is just like the most obvious


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, cause I get, here's what's gonna happen. Veer is gonna have a couple of squash matches for three weeks. He's not gonna get over, and then he won't be on TV ever again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone said, um, Chris Jericho. I don't think that one. That's not, that was not, Chris Jericho is coming soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a countdown timer that eventually hit zero and Chris Jericho debuted. I'm talking specifically. Blank is coming soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who can you squash? Shelton Benjamin? Sure. Cedric Alexander? Or Cedric Alexander? Both of them. Then the following week, do it with Cedric or the other one, whichever one that you pin. Third week, Grand Metalic's not there anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's a pretty good story here for Nikki, almost a superhero, which is that she isn't on- if only they'd done- if only they'd started this four weeks ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, when, you know, they had the opportunity to and chose not to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could have told a really good story here of these mean girls bullying Nikki. Maybe she tries to get into the team, maybe she's trying to like work her way in, and she doesn't, and now that's why the mean girls are like, you're so crap, look at your tag pattern, she's so crap, she's got, cause like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rhea Ripley is like, nah, you're alright mate, you can be on the, you're on more team, aren't you? You'd be alright, ponzo, yeah, yeah, great. But she doesn't get to do any of that, because we're so close to Survivor Series now. So there is a nugget of a good story here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't think it's being done very well because it's only had two weeks to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they've already beaten them for two months. They beat them for the, uh, not the tag dogs, but they pinned them last week, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are set up to be the number one contender, so they'll, they will do this, but yea, you're right. Like, it'll probably be a match at Rumble, and they'll have had five matches before then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can tell you who Biggie Langston is dating now via datingcelebs.com


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, apparently, uh, ahead we look at who is Big E Langston dating now. Who he has dated. Big E Langston's girlfriend partially related to dating history. It's one of those fun like, um, like SEO based websites. Yes. Big E Langston is currently single according to our records. Hmm. Am I on that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if I can have a look for you in a second if you'd like. I've also found his net, possibly his net worth. His net worth according to this is... Apparently he's white according to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] White. Uh, marriages, unmarried. Uhm, girlfriend, NA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tattoos? No. His favourite actress apparently is Angelina Jo- uh, Angelina Jolie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, dating. Oli Davis, dating. Who is Oli Davis dating? Dating celebs. Oh my god, it's actually you! Oli Davis, YouTuber, 33, single. Is that your birthday?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently you are single. Uh, ahead we look at who Oli Davis is dating now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so he's currently single. YouTube was born, uh, wrestling fanatic who covers all things professional wrestling on the popular YouTube channel Restalk TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, it doesn't say, I don't think it was anyone famous though. Like, yeah. Online rumors of Oli Davis's is there's two S's there and an apostrophe S. Dating may vary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We didn't talk about the Stephanie McMahon announcement either, where she's won, what does she win?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That sounds like a real participation trophy. To be one of the most. But the one of?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. That's very good. Uhm, cause that's what's gonna get the kids watching again, isn't it? Telling them that- Corporate achievements. Telling them someone who is not an onscreen character, who only does background business work now, is really important in the world of sports. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you wanna say anything more on stupendous? That's a very silly word. Uhm, I mean, they're running out of, like, words like that, aren't they? Adjectives. So, I had to get to stupendous at some point. It just, it boggles my mind that someone said that in a board meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, probably Vince. The most stupendous stupendous two night WrestleMania in history, pal. And everyone was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've done it again, sir. You've, you've, you've nailed it again. Everyone, all the kids are gonna be talking about how this is the most stupendous two-night WrestleMania in history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AJ had this promo beforehand, where he made a reference to, um, the Avengers from 2012, when he was like, you know, how Loki had an army, but, you know, the Avengers had a Hulk. I guess that makes me Iron Man. That's pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I've gone on a moss. Yeah. And then it cuts to the dirty dogs. Who?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell a joke in the most awkward way possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the punchline of this is that you remind me of a different movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The movie Twins, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. Schwarzenegger's tall, Danny DeVito short, comedy, 1988, genuinely very good. Such a good film, I referenced it in my wedding speech. And I love that film very, very much. But the way they told this joke was,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of you reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger. The other one of you reminds me of Danny DeVito. And we all know what that movie is!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Twins. And it's like, Junior? No, the other Davido Schwarzenegger? It's a backward way of telling the joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it made them look like absolute imbeciles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Dolph Ziggler is a stand-up comic. No he is not! No, just because you do stand-up comedy does not make you a stand-up comic. He has stood on stage and told some things. Arthur Fleck was not an actual stand-up comic. He just wanted to be one. I think Dolph Ziggler is exactly the same mold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, 25% said 1 out of 5. Rawfall, 21% said it was an AVRAWGE show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 2 out of 5, I guess. 2 out of 5 for me is sometimes just like the most shruggy score you can give an episode. Shruggy? Shruggy, yea. Oh, shruggy. Yeah. Yeah. Shruggy. Yeah, just like, every time I watch Roar, it finishes and it's just like, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's done. Another three hours, well spent of my life. Meh. I guess I'll go to work and talk about it now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thrill how? Uh, the real boss, Matt Robinson!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always leave the crowd wanting Brian Moore!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And lastly for this Hall of Fame class on the 16th of November, 2021, Hector H. Train! Magado!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got stuck in Saudi Arabia. And then that didn't work, so they stopped trying to be AEW because they were like, we may as well lose a war that we're not trying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Raw podcast is now, it's now like the second lowest podcast number that we do. Because no one cares about Raw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I going crazy here? It was more fun. It was more fun to do this. It was more fun to do this show and it was bad. You know, like, you know, retribution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roar Underground? Roar Underground! Yeah! Let's bring back- That was fun! Mizz's Champion? Yeah. Fun times. Makes me miss the Thunderdome. We all thought they were going to try harder. But that's the thing, is they are trying harder now. And by trying harder, they've just made a boring show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jamie Villegas said, sup guys, I'm getting teary-eyed just thinking about it. Tomorrow on Dynamite, the second the crowd hears Hangman's music, they're gonna lose their cowboy ass. Not gonna be able to contain myself during the you deserve it chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, Packer Nation said, instead of talking about rules, can we just talk about the Kingston Punk Fight from Full Gear, and how I never want their feud to end. But, I must note, in regards to the team making, what are the rules? Nothing makes sense anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, congrats Luke on the victory over Oli and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your OSW cameo! And also thank you for recommending signing up for the podcast Life Changing Stuff. Always keep on being awesome, you lovely boys. You both look peng AF, son!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well thank you to the OS boys for asking me, well, they used my book as reference material for the Mortal Kombat Annihilation review and the Mortal Kombat review, so it was just nice of them to give me a little shout out, so it was very lovely. And you're very welcome for the Something That Comic The Podcast recommendation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the best. It's my favourite podcast on a weekly basis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well there's a- we'll do it again in a moment, we'll send them that clip instead. But I did think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I set this up, I don't really use OBS much. OBS has been forced upon me by Pete and producer Rich. It's not what I would use because I don't really use it for anything. Don't get Twitch. And uhm, so I did that and I set that up myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I felt really proud of myself. I'd sit up and I was like, this looks proper naff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I made this and it works. And then as soon as everyone was like kicking off about it in the comments, I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so close, it's okay, we needed a, we needed a trial run live. Uh, the bad one jam beard, didn't know Kevin Dunn joined Rest Talk during that sponsor rate. Uh, Brian Moore, Luke, you wearing a hat in the edited reviews takes me back to the other one days. I feel like you've had the three faces of Owen. The other one Luke Warman, D.A.D.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since we're all sucked, thoughts on, uh, Jonah joining, uh, New Japan and Ishii, maybe defending the Never title in AEW.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, that way round, yeaah. Uhm, I mean it did it with the United States title, but I guess that was because Mox was the champion. And Lance, yeaah. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, William Toki Jr. Gotta say, after watching today's edited review that Ollie did, I think it's awesome that he made a short, uh, that he had a short made just to say how much he loves me. Uh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh god. Uhm, Laxiham Narashimhan B, along with Oli Sweetim, if Luke wins he can go to drafts and go, I deserve to be at the NRB table since I am something Adam isn't. Jam that champion. So let us in, punk. Jam that jam.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, that's all you have to do as well. I thought that's what we were gonna get. It's lazy, but you know what? That was good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you want it to be bad again? Am I going crazy here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you awake, Jane? asked the voice I had been expecting. Yes, sir, and rest. Good. I need you. Come and help me. Bring a clean cloth with you. He went quietly up to the top floor, where he unlocked one of the small black doors. Do you feel faint at the sight of blood? he asked. I don't think so, I replied. We entered a room with curtains hung on the walls. One of the curtains was tied back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From there came an angry growling sound, almost like a dog. Wait here, said Mr. Rochester, and went into the secret room where a shout of laughter greeted him. Oh, so Grace Poole was there. He came out quickly and closed the secret door. Then he showed me why he needed me. In an armchair lay Mr. Mason, his clothes and his arm covered in blood. As we bent over him, he opened his eyes and groaned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I going to die? He murmured weakly. No man, don't be foolish. It's just a scratch. Answered Mr. Rochester. Now Jane, he said, turning to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll have to leave you in this room with Mason while I fetch the doctor. You must wipe away the blood with a damp cloth like this and help him to drink a little water. But on no account must you speak to him. Is that understood? I nodded and nervously watched him leave the room. I could hear him turning the key in the lock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The war department worried that the movie was too realistic. Some were offended by its rough language.

[Assistant] Memphis Bell was a huge success with audiences and critics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Becoming the first movie in history to be reviewed on the front page of the New York Times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I go out by the back door into the garden, which is large and tidy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lawn in the middle, a willow, weeping catkins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Around the edges, the flower borders, in which the daffodils are now fading, and the tulips are opening their cups, spilling out color. The tulips are red, a darker crimson towards the stem, as if they have been cut and are beginning to heal there. This garden is the domain of the commander's wife. Looking out through my shatter-proof window, I've often seen her in it, her knees on a cushion, a light blue veil thrown over her wide gardening hat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's something for them to order and maintain and care for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can remember the smell of the turned earth, the plump shapes of bulbs held in the hands, fullness, the dry rustle of seeds through the fingers. Time could pass more swiftly that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes the commander's wife has a chair brought out and just sits in it, in her garden. From a distance, it looks like peace. She isn't here now, and I start to wonder where she is. I don't like to come upon the commander's wife unexpectedly. Perhaps she's sewing in the sitting room, with her left foot on the footstool because of her arthritis. Or knitting scarves for the angels at the front lines. I can hardly believe the angels have a need for such scarves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She doesn't bother with the cross and star pattern used by many of the other wives. It's not a challenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's good to have small goals that can be easily attained. What does she envy me? She doesn't speak to me unless she can't avoid it. I am a reproach to her and a necessity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We stood face to face for the first time five weeks ago when I arrived at this posting. The guardian from the previous posting brought me to the front door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On first days, we are permitted front doors. But after that, we're supposed to use the back. Things haven't settled down. It's too soon. Everyone is unsure about our exact status.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a while, it will be either all front doors or all back. Aunt Lydia said she was lobbying for the front. Yours is a position of honor, she said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guardian rang the doorbell for me, but before there was time for someone to hear and walk quickly to answer, the door opened inward. She must have been waiting behind it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was expecting a Martha, but it was her instead in her long powder blue robe. Unmistakable. So, you're the new one, she said. She didn't step aside to let me in. She just stood there in the doorway, blocking the entrance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I said. Leave it on the porch. She said this to the guardian who was carrying my bag. The bag was red vinyl and not large.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was another bag with the winter cloak and heavier dresses, but that would be coming later. The guardians set down the bag and saluted her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I felt as if a protective arm were being withdrawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The threshold of a new house is a lonely place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She waited until the car started up and pulled away. I wasn't looking at her face, but at the part of her I could see with my head lowered. Her blue waist, thickened. Her left hand on the ivory head of her cane. The large diamonds on the ring finger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might as well come in she said. She turned her back on me and limped down the hall. Shut the door behind you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I lifted the red bag inside, as she'd no doubt intended, then closed the door. I didn't say anything to her. Aunt Lydia said it was best not to speak unless they asked you a direct question. Try to think of it from their point of view, she said, her hands clasped and rung together, her nervous, pleading smile. It isn't easy for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In here, said the commander's wife. When I went into the sitting room, she was already in her chair, her left foot on the footstool, with its petty point cushion, roses in a basket. Her knitting was on the floor beside the chair, the needles stuck through it. I stood in front of her, hands folded. So, she said. She had a cigarette, and she put it between her lips, and gripped it there while she lit it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her lips were thin, held that way, with the small vertical lines around them you used to see in advertisements for lip cosmetics. The lighter was ivory colored. The cigarettes must have come from the black market, I thought. And this gave me hope. Even now that there is no real money anymore, there's still a black market. There's always a black market. There's always something that can be exchanged. She then was a woman who might bend the rules.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what did I have to trade? I looked at this cigarette with longing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, like liquor and coffee, cigarettes are forbidden. So, old What's-his-face didn't work out, she said. No ma'am, I said. She gave what might have been a laugh, then coughed. Tough luck on him, she said. This is your second, isn't it? Third, ma'am, I said. Not so good for you either, she said. There was another coughing laugh. You can sit down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't make a practice of it, but just this time, I did sit on the edge of one of the stiff back chairs. I didn't want to stare around the room. I didn't want to appear inattentive to her.

[Assistant] Not so her eyes, which were the flat, hostile blue of a midsummer sky in bright sunlight. A blue that shuts you out. Her nose must once have been what was called cute, but now it was too small for her face. Her face was not fat, but it was large. Two lines led downwards from the corners of her mouth. Between them was her chin, clenched like a fist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't call me ma'am, she said irritably. You're not a Martha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't ask what I was supposed to call her because I could see that she hoped I would never have the occasion to call her anything at all. I was disappointed. I wanted then to turn her into an older sister, a motherly figure, someone who would understand and protect me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She put her cigarette out, half-smoked, in a little scrolled ashtray on the lamp table beside her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not the series of genteel taps favored by many of the wives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for my husband, she said, he's just that. My husband. I want that to be perfectly clear. Till death do us part. It's final. Yes ma'am. I said again, forgetting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They used to have dolls for little girls that would talk if you pulled a string at the back. I thought I was sounding like that voice of a monotone and voice of a doll. She probably longed to slap my face. They can hit us. They're scriptural precedent, but not with any implement, only with their hands. It's one of the things we fall for, said the commander's wife. And suddenly she wasn't looking at me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where they would tell Bible stories for children and sing hymns. One of the women was called Serena Joy. She was the lead soprano.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was ash blonde, petite, with a snub nose and huge blue eyes, which she turned upwards during hymns. She could smile and cry at the same time, one tear or two, sliding gracefully down her cheek as if on cue.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We all left the room silently. As we went downstairs, the lawyer said to me, I know you weren't aware of this, Miss Eyre. Nobody will blame you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Mason stopped in Madeira and stayed with Mr. Eyre.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Mr Mason explained that Mr Rochester was already married.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your uncle sent him straight back to England to prevent you from marrying and making a terrible mistake. I'm afraid your uncle is very ill and will probably die soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think you had better stay in England until you receive further news of him. After the gentleman had left, I entered my room and locked the door. Slowly I took off my wedding dress and veil. I was weak and exhausted, and only just beginning to realize what had happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could I ever again trust the being I had turned into a sort of god? I would not think of him as evil, but he could not have felt real love for me. How foolish I had been to believe him and love him so much. My hopes were all dead, and my future was empty. I lay on my bed, faint and wishing for death, while darkness swam around me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An appointment television show at 8 o'clock. 9 o'clock was Empty Nest. And at 10 o'clock was Sisters. Strong female night that we did very, very well with. And then we put what we hoped were some promising new shows in the 8.30 and the 9.30 slots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great pride and a great sense of, of how outstanding Golden Girls was. The notion that we would do something that was a shadow of its former self just wasn't of interest to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we found is, a lot of times, after writers have done a number of years on a show, you need fresh voices. It helps reinvent a show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got all ladies together and told them that was hard. It was really hard and they were very generous. They didn't want to make it difficult for me. Just very sad, very very sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've done 110 episodes and it was great. I would happily have done another 100, but the time came along when I thought, well, this is the right time to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The road isn't even marked. Oh, that's the Irish of it. And as long as we stick to the seacoast, we can't miss Shannon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For you? Of course not. I'm looking for a town where I can hire a car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm beginning to think you don't like Mr. Auger. I don't. I don't like his type. I don't like him personally. And above all, I don't like what he does to good newspaper men who go to work for him. I'm going to take a bath. Sure. In a fine tub. But for they forgot to put in the water pipes. And there's not a plumber this side of Limerick town. Don't think it's so hard. I like the Irish. Well, you can have all of them, including myself. I wish I could still have your fits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, that was a good stew, Fitz. It's all right. You like lamb stew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know who you are or what sort of a game you're trying to play. Did you steal these?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mostly for Bill Clark. Now I'm ready to settle down to a real job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I didn't intend to. The only difference is that from now on I'm going to be paid for it. Sick and tired of beating my brains out for nickels and dimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Write my speeches, be my right hand, be my brain, my conscience. Frankly, I want the money. But there's one thing we ought to clear up first. You may not like what I write.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And another thing. I don't like to be disturbed when I have visitors. Always knock on the door before you come in. Yes, sir. I'll keep it in mind. I think that's all. You can finish your drink and then go to bed. Thank you, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you do is a dignity you gain in time saved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should have done it before this, but you know, I've been busy. You'd better make it good. I'll be on my way. Let's get together before you go back, Bill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've said enough, you heard it all. Was there any chance you'll change your mind? No, I'm resigning as of right now, for good. Well, what about the engagement fence? Is it on or off?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even the smallest children have to cope on their own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost daily, up to four hours of paddling and trudging through reeds, always battling with nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first rays of the sun break through the clouds above Lake Titicaca, Peru. A new day is dawning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still a bit drowsy, they put on their traditional school uniform all by themselves. Their parents are out fishing. The elder siblings work on the mainland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because hair signifies strength, beauty, and life in the Uru culture, it needs special attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The children's colorful hats are not only part of the traditional clothing, but also


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offer protection against the aggressive sun in this high mountain region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They live on a tiny isolated island in the midst of the world's greatest mountain lake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vidal has built his boat himself, which, like almost everything else on this lake, is made of reeds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is how the Urus have been calmly navigating the lake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their whole life takes place on a 30 square meter island with two little reed huts. None of the children have a room of their own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vidal braces himself with reed blossom tea. He will need a lot of strength today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a total area of almost 8,300 square kilometers, which he has to cross on his way to school, is the largest navigable lake in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most Uru children go together with a number of others in larger boats, so they can take turns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Slowly Vidal pushes the boat forward. He has to ration his strength.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The punting with a long wooden rod is the most efficient and at the same time least tiring method to make way. But still, it forces him to go to his limit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few kilometers away in the Uru village, the nine-year-old Mariela and her little sister Belinda are still busy tying colorful woolen pom poms to their braids. Only then are the girls ready to go. Mariela likes going to school because she too has a dream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why the nine-year-old takes on such a tough way to score.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At 7am, she and her sister Belinda row off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An hour across the Great Lake lies ahead of the girls, before they reach the private primary school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mariela's way stretches right through the village, which is traversed by many bigger and smaller waterways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 60 minutes of rowing. Tiring for the nine-year-old. But also, the daily routine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only the men working in the reeds cross his way from time to time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today, he took a route leading him past his father, Carlos. So they can say good morning to each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the break of dawn, a 40-year-old harvests the totara reed with a sort of sieve. He cuts the stems just above the root and drags them into piles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only one of the many ways to use the reed on Lake Titicaca.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With his harvest, Carlos returns to his family island. The fresh reed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Provides the basis for the continuance of the family-owned island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carlos must do some repair work on their floating home. Because the islands are fragile structures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In case of danger, they could move on along with their island whenever they wanted to. The islands float even to this day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reed of which they consist rots from underneath and the rising foul gases keep the construction afloat. Today the Urus are more or less settled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've made themselves at home on their bobbing islands. Still, almost everything is made of reeds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vidal's father Carlos also lives off fishing and built the island from reeds as is the custom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since it rots from underneath, Carlos has to pile up a fresh layer of totara again and again to prevent his family from getting wet. But, it's a race against time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After three years, repair work doesn't suffice anymore, and Carlos builds a whole new island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rida's father observes the sky. The dark clouds above the mountains worry him. The weather quickly veers over the huge lake, and that signifies danger for his son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the wind causes waves. And for Fidal on his little boat, that doesn't mean ideal conditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The change of weather normally happens around midday. These are the forebodings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few miles away in the Uru village, nine-year-old Mariella and her sister Belinda are rowing towards school. It's windy here too, but the many islands provide cover, and so the water is calmer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Due to its size and location, Lake Titicaca is unpredictable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It lies on a high plateau between the Andes Mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Allegedly, the cradle of the legendary Inca civilization is to be found in the lake. According to legend, the gods created the first Incas here. They rose from the bottom of the lake. For many, a magical place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today, only the many ruins of temples testify to the existence of the ancient high civilization of South America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, the lake offers the students a special delicacy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The so-called Chulio is the Ulu Children's favorite food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And can be found in the white insides of the totura reed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vidal too, takes a detour into one of the reed fields on his way to school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only those like Vidal who are very familiar with the reed find their way. Many have gone astray. It takes a lot of effort, even if one knows the place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes the eleven-year-old gets stuck, even with his narrow boat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, Vidal spots a nest full of fresh eggs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will his family have a meal other than fish for a change? The ducks are supposed to get caught in these nylon snares. Carefully, Vidal puts the eggs back into their nest. The parents will only return if the clutch is full.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On his way back from school, Vidal will check his trap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the Urus always help one another, a little stopover is also on the agenda today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The girls pick up four-year-old Harold and row him across to his kindergarten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the village community, the older children often collect younger ones, and thus share the ride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially since they are now on the busy main channel of the village. With plenty of traffic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harold doesn't know how to swim. Most children learn to swim in school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The children with their wooden punts barely stand a chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The girl's weight to the four-year-old has safely reached the building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her year, on an average, three little children drown in the village, falling off the island while playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At all costs, they want to reach school which lies at the far end of the village long before the actual lessons start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His way to school leads him across the fields of reed, which in some places is traversed by fully-fledged waterway networks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so the 11 year old continues to cut his way through the many canals in the reed, undeterred by more than 90 minutes of his tiring way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fellow students from all over arrive in dribs and drabs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the best moment of the whole day for Mariela.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the Mary splashing around has a serious background.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Learning how to swim is essential for the children's survival on the lake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has been on his way for a good two hours now, and is tired, but also happy to finally be there and meet his friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The children arrive from all sides. Some are delivered by their parents. Others have shared a reed boat standing up because they only had a short way to school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first steps in more than two hours for Vidal. And although his way to school is so tiring, he's glad he's able to be here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even if most of them have already had their fair share of sportiness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two age groups are taught together in one classroom each, since there are only two teachers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not the only handicap the state school has to deal with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, Mariela and her fellow students are struggling with Spanish syntax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since some have more than others, the children share their food. So everyone gets what he likes. Vidal loves fish and rice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The girls prefer grilled beans, even if they are a bit stony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The teacher, Signora Kandori, always checks the sky around noon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because here on the plateau there is often a sudden change of weather around 12 o'clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time, he at least got 14 out of 20 points. He can be proud of himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vidal rose towards his parents' isolated island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Depending on which direction they're heading to, the children share rides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wants to check the trap he set in the morning at the duck nests.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bedard takes the remaining egg back home. He will hatch it at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sisters have picked up little Harold from kindergarten and bring him home on their way back. He may play the rest of the afternoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Theoretically, Vidal only has half an hour left, but the wind has grown stronger, and he is unable to find protection in the canals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has to cross the wide open space in order to get home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vidal is exhausted, but still has quite a long way to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the village is close by, the water is calm where the girls are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She will have to practice a while before being allowed to row by herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's got half a year before she has to go on the water on her own. And Mariella is off to secondary school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's extremely tiring to row against the wind and the waves. A vidar must keep concentrating, or else he will keel over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shortly before sunset, Vidal reaches home, after two and a half hours, soaking wet. He was away for ten hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His catch means that his family can finally eat some meat after 10 days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But his mother Paulina takes only little interest in the dock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vidal will row for four hours across the largest mountain lake in the world. For his dream of a better future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I am a Howard University student and that is your alma mater. I am so, so, so very proud to say that a bison is T'Challa. The Black Panther.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seriously, when you made your big scene, when you came out, I shed a tear. It was a big deal for me and my friends and definitely Howard University, so I just want to say thank you so much for showing us that there are avenues for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had no friends or family to accompany us to the church. I had not told my Reed cousins about our wedding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I had written to my uncle, John Eyre, in Madeira. Mr Rochester was in such a hurry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he only allowed me a short time to put on my wedding dress and veil. Jane, you look lovely, he said. But you can only have ten minutes for breakfast. We almost ran up the road to the church, his strong hand holding mine. His dark face looked stern, and he did not speak. I did not notice the weather or my surroundings at all. I only wanted to know why he looked so fierce. Suddenly, he noticed how pale I was, and stopped for a moment to let me get my breath back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we walked more slowly into the church. The priest and the clerk were waiting for us. There was nobody else except two strangers who were standing at the back of the church. The ceremony began.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And soon I heard the priest come to the point in the wedding where he had to ask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And come down the hair off the back. Also fluffy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's right. This episode is sponsored by the good folks over at Geology. Boy, howdy, Ollie. I would say that you and I are looking pretty great in terms of skincare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Puffy under eyes geology. Click the link in the video description down below because you'll take a 30 second quiz and then you can get


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can't all be Chris Van Vliet, but we can possibly look as good as he does in terms of skin care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm curious to why this feels like one of the worst drafts ever as well. I was talking with TempoTWrestler about this on the Smackdown review. Brian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here is a list of names that were on Raw last year and then got drafted to SmackDown and then have all been drafted back to Raw again. So the same group got drafted to SmackDown and then got drafted back to Raw. Seth Rollins, Bianca Belair, Rey Mysterio, Dominic Mysterio,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The street prophets, Kevin Owens, Dolph Ziggler, Bobby Roode, Apollo Cruz, and by extension, Dabba Kato.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and then by extension have always loved Kevin Owens. Because Kevin Owens is a guy, he is a wrestler that cares about previous feud and how they have affected his character and his character's growth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see this a lot in WWE, where someone will have a feud with someone, and then it doesn't bother them in the least the next time that they interact, or if they turn babyface or heel, they're then just friends with them, even though they were feuding with them. Otis and Dolph Ziggler is a great example of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kevin Owens is someone who was just like, well I know I feuded with you last year in leading into WrestleMania.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Seth basically says, in so many words, embrace the hate. And you know, where has being a good guy got you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, hey, I'm Seth Rollins, I'm wearing doofy suits, I'm holding a contract here for a WWE Championship match, not at Survivor Series. I don't know when it's happening, but I've got one, and I get- I dictate the terms. And he walks away from Owens, and Owens there looks at me like, well, I'm not gonna listen to that, he's a dickhead. Cut to the match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the finish of this is Biggie sort of like down in the sort of like, they bonk heads. Kevin Owens and Biggie bonk heads and Biggie's then like in the ropes. Rollins walks up and he decks Biggie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weird, it was just a right hand, I would have thought it hit him with a clipboard or something, you know, because then Biggie sort of like rolls into the ring. Kevin Owens saw Seth Rollins do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now it's going to make a decision. Do I have a pop at Rollins?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, do I take advantage of this situation?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he then cuts a promo after the match being like, sorry, uh, that's, that's discord.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the Royal General Manager, the anonymous Royal General Manager. He cuts a promo saying, Oh, I didn't see, I didn't see Seth do it. Oh, I don't know what happened. I just, I just went in for the pin and Biggie's like, nah mate. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's border, I think it's border. It was fun when it was, hehehe, John. I find it less fun now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did he become one of Vince's boys? Do you remember Vince had that period of time when he was just like, he had Kevin Owens and he had Charlotte? Like yea, he would just sort of point to the back and introduce other people for like, to be inserted into triple threats that no one wanted. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] WWE is that when I started this episode of Raw, Raw has been a slog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For pretty much all of 2021, I would say all of 2021, Raw has been a slog to watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to the point where I struggle to care about a lot of what the show does,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've made me really invested in this main event scene. I'm actually really now into, and also, to the question, should Kevin Owens turn here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phenomenal heel. Particularly when he's got excellent motivation to lead into a heel turn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone's been, everyone says it in our comments, in our live chat and everything like that. He's got the face of someone who's just like, well I'm gone in three months. Why am I, I've got no point in even trying in anything I'm doing because I'm not sticking around. And I think that translates then into being a very boring baby for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, with a heel serve, with something he can sink his teeth into, something he can do proper character-wise, I think we're gonna see a much better Kevin Owens because of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they did it with Cesaro. Like, Cesaro, they were dangling that character for Cesaro because his contract was up. He re-signed, they were like, and you're rewarded, you get a program with Roman Reigns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then that's been it for society. Psych! And exactly, psych, you got your program and then yoink, you're out the door. Like a lot of people in the comments were sort of disagreeing, uh, with me there about saying Kevin Owens is at a bit of a boring baby face run. And they've all said, his feud with Roman Reigns. Just want to remind everyone, that was in January.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I quite like it as a character direction of just like, hey, I was good for so long and it got me nowhere. When you look at Seth Rollins, who's been a complete tool and has now got a W title shot, big time Bex, cheating her way to win, and you know, returning to the Royal Biz Championship, she got to swap a belt on SmackDown. These are top level things you get to do when you're a bad guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Slight different pronunciation there. Albuquerque. Albuquerque. Did you know the Albuquerque baseball team is named after the Simpsons?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was in a list video that I wrote for Adam recently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's why I had it. Yeah, yeah. So it was Albuquerque Isotopes was a Simpsons joke that, uh, Duff had bought the isotopes and we're going to take it to Albuquerque and then Albuquerque then named themselves the Albuquerque Isotopes. Apparently at their baseball stadium, they've got like Simpsons stuff there and you can buy like their logo looks like the isotopes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there was a DQ finish, someone put it out in the comments. Mysterio, uh, Austin Theory. Which was a dumb finish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The referee didn't see it. Me and, me and Pete. Cause I, I, so, you know, skipped to that segment just now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, it happened and I burst out laughing in peace at what happened and I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Dominic just interfered and the referee didn't see it, but called for a DQ. And Ollie's like, oh, Ollie's written his notes that it was right in front of the referee. And I was like, I'm pretty sure the referee's back, we went back and watched it again. I was like, yeah, no, definitely. The referee had his back completely to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I was, uh, playing the new Limp Bizkit album in the office today. Still Sucks. And it's, uh, it's- Is that the name of the- That's the name of the album, yea. It's Still Sucks. The name of the album is called Still Sucks. Because Limp Bizkit still sucks. And- That's good. It is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chef's Kiss incredible. It's genuinely so, so great. What kind of?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, bad, terrible? No, it's awesome. It's really, really good. Yeah? Yeah. I mean, if you're a Limp Bizkit fan, it's really, really good.

[Assistant] No, I'm not, but I was wondering what that knocking sound was. I feel like I'm Andy Danson. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, it was- so I was playing that, and Paige just kept leaning over and being like, well it's certainly a- certainly a song on the album I guess, like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Double count out. Yeah. Terrible crap, non-finish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it actually took me a little while to get into this because I was there with my arms folded being like, I've been conditioned by this company and this show in particular to not expect


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were playing with fire I guess, but I don't like this. I wonder if there's anything I can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have presented you a big time match, on Raw no less. It's not gonna have a finish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last week, you and I did this show. We had so many people message us on the ultra chat, so many people in the live chat, so many people in the comments being like, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's not gonna be a finish, because there's never a finish to these matches. And it was only until we get into the final third of this, I started things like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And blow me down, not only did it have a finish, it had a really good finish. A finish that was set up in the first third of the match, where Becky was trying to like, unhook the uh, the turnbuckle. Very simple this, really. First third of the match, she tries to unhook it, Bel Air stops her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that plays into the finish there where Becky grabs it as Bel-Air is like pushing her, like, you know, pulling her away. She pulls it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Banks goes, sorry, Belair goes into the exposed turnbuckle and Becky gets the win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hooking the tights as well, no less. Loved the finish, and I really, really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think you do live Morgan Bianca Belair, Bianca Belair wins and you do Becky Belair again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I would love to see it be Liv Morgan. I would love to see it be a new face. This is what we were talking about last week on the show. I didn't want Bianca to be going for the title again because we've just had her do that for a lot of the summer with Becky no less, just over a different colored belt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they were all watching backstage. I actually saw Dana Brooke this week. Only because there was another blonde that I didn't recognise and I wrote my notes. I'm gonna presume that's Dana Brooke. Both of them are Dana Brooke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My question, my question to you WWE, if you're watching this, why'd you hire him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why did you give him a job if you're gonna make him look like an absolute idiot? Because it's not like he's this huge charisma machine that's like, oh man, he's doing the most. Have you ever seen a Kevin Patrick interview and thought like, man, what an incredible interviewer that man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's an ironic thing. You've never watched a Kevin Patch interview and been like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have seen multiple matches in this company where people have interfered right in front of the referee and they have gone, uh, dieeee. What do I do now? This was literally, it was the perfect bit of interference and somehow the referee was like, hold on, I feel a great disturbance in the force.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This lad got punched in the face erroneously by the second on the outside. Ding ding ding DQ. Rubbish this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's real bad. She's, she is natty levels are bad. No good this was, and uhm, they got a match between these two teams. The heels picked up the win. It wasn't a championship contenders match, which makes me think they are gonna get a touch, they're gonna get a touch off the back of this. So I can't, I found this theory out, uhm, whilst reviewing SmackDown, because there was a championship contenders match in that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That someone won. Well actually no, the champion retained, right? But later in the main event, the new day beat the Usos, and it wasn't a championship contenders match. And the commentators were like, well that puts them in line for a title shot. So I think the rule is, you have to pin the champions in NOT a championship contenders match, so you get a shot at the championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are they running a storyline on Raw because they drove this into the ground a lot of like, who is the face of Monday Night Raw?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, but they said like Big E is the face, but Becky also thinks she's the face. Bianca Belair thinks she's the face. Wait, Becky's a heel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, what I really liked about this was the commentary team being like, can't believe Finn Balor picked up a win over Chad Gable. A ma- a man who, and I did some research into this, uhm, has won five single- has won five matches since July 2020.
