[Assistant] Because the phrase is money in the bank. So the argument is you are becoming the champion, you are getting that top paycheck because you are top of the card because you are the world champion. That's why it's money in the bank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I think if we're trying to believe that it's not, people aren't doing this for prestige, there's also, you know, you win a championship, you can command a higher fee, that's kind of the point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting, it's an interesting idea. I'm not sold on it personally, because I remember when, uhm, uh, back in the days when WWECW was happening, Tommy Dreamer was entering the Royal Rumble and I remember them being like, if he wins he's gonna go after that ECW Championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not to give spoilers for the whole show, I was quite cross for this. I felt this show, I basically felt like I watched a tech rehearsal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you do? You have to get it off him. There are ways to do that. There are ways to play with that. And I just don't think this was it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he is good, and he's got a good look, and he's got a good, um, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got charisma. He's, you know, he's good in the ring. He knows what he's doing on the mic. He's got a good, uh, physique. He looks the part. He's just not there yet. Um, I think, uh, it's just, the thing that's frustrating for me is that there are logic gaps in this. Huge logic gaps in this. So for instance, uh, Seth's Open Challenge never actually got underway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's not like that Bobby match started and then was disqualified. The bell never rang, Bobby just attacked him and then left the arena. So the open challenge technically was still there. So why have you wasted your money in the bank opportunity? Or just wait till next week. There are. So I have seen one person be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, open challenge may have been rescinded and the caching has to happen whenever you're ready. It's not quite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really into the fact that, okay, we're getting this double turn and I will, I will get onto that, but that is the, the big...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good thing that I take away from this is that we have some interesting future, but we've got a double turn has taken place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, it was very, this is what I mean by pressing reset, it was very much like you're saying, right, I'm getting rid of these things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you, when you inherit the longest running weekly episodic show on television, you have no, like, between season breaks to go, okay, let's sit down in the writer's room and let's go, this worked, this didn't work, this worked, this didn't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do we do going forward? How do we change things? You kind of, there are open storylines. Without coming on television and going, hi everybody!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vince is a big ol' perv, so we can't do what we were gonna do, so. Allegedly. Allegedly, so sorry. We're gonna start again, uhm, and we're gonna, you know, uhm, press the complete reset button, all the champions have to be vacant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, literally, without doing, without doing 2000, 2001, EC, WCW, you can't, you just, you have to carry on in some way, you have to find a way to, to, you know, this person has money in the bank, let's take a couple weeks to see whether or not we can build them to the point where they're a credible challenger. It's not happening. Okay, so how do we get that briefcase off him? How do we bring this to an end?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the US title is sort of doing nothing, but uh, and we have both titles currently on Roman Reigns and that is working, so we need to create something for the raw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wrestlers to fight for, because there's a Champagne here every week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we need to keep him as that big, big match, big event player to keep his mystique. So let's build up the US title. Okay, cool. We're going to do that. Women's Championship, we're going to do that. What are we going to do with all these pieces?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I think we are seeing that come to fruition here in some way, in getting rid of the 24-7, in getting rid of the briefcase. It's just the way it went down. In the moment, I was kind of like, okay, yeaah, and I was buying it because I was into the Intense team, because for the first time in the show I was sat forward. But then the more I've sat with it, the more I've been, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, this is, like, different strokes, and, uh, people can enjoy what they enjoy. I always do, when I do, like, any film review or anything like that, I always have to say, you should know that I, one of my favourite films of all time is, is Singing in the Rain, and another one of my favourite films is 12 Angry Men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another one of my favorite films of all time is Monster in Law starring Jennifer Lopez and Jane Bond. People like what they like and there's no, you know, we all can like different stuff and that works, especially when it comes to wrestling. Uhm, so if you enjoyed this segment, I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] professionalism standpoint in certain places. I was so cross a lot of the time. So uhm, I can, I kind of do add my voice to the people who really considered this to be a dreadful episode of Raw. I don't, I don't,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it's, it's certainly not something that's gonna make me go, ah, Triple H doesn't have a book, Triple H is rubbish, cause I just don't think, and if you are of that opinion, and I know there are people in the internet wrestling community who are of that opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I go off, uhm, but I just don't think that's the case. It was in this one where I'm like, Christ, you have to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sift through a lot of tap, you're basically, you're, it's like he's walking around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In storylines going, what happened here? What scraps can I pick up and what can I put together? And that, oh, that's not quite going to work. So I've got to, you know, it's that stuff is going down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also feel like when it is a weekly- the thing about saying that this was for me a bad episode is that there'll be another one next week. I don't think it's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To say this was bad, this was good. We're also in this, this, like, perennium of the year, the gooch of the year, if I'm allowed to say that on the Rest of the Talk podcast. You are here. There we go. Uhm, where, like, not a lot goes down, and it's sort of a bit weird, and like, I always look forward to, okay, we're gonna build the Royal Rumble. And I, I, I feel, I'm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come back to me after WrestleMania 39 and see whether or not I still feel this way and be like, you still as competent as this. I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And B, had threatened to not do a match because he wanted to save himself. He wasn't going to wrestle for the US title at SummerSlam because he was going to save himself for the big spot. So, why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make the OSI look good, and arguably you can make it so that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The U.S. title is that big and that important, like we've been saying, but uhm, this, this didn't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be fuming because that is shenanigans of the highest order and I don't like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's only 25, like he's not, it's Randy Orton, when Randy Orton won the world championship when he was that young in 2004, that really didn't work out quite as well as we'd hoped that it would, but it's Randy Orton, look at him now, you know, these things, he's got time, he's got


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got loads of time and with a more generous booker, um, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fine. I also think that I've heard the thing about having Sammy take it a couple of times, and I will say I like the idea of that, but I only like that's the hindsight thing, because in July, this Sammy thing wasn't in the level it is now. So if Sammy had won it in July and then it got to here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would be, the laughter in that one would be, it would be like three separate versions of laughs, it would be yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you had the Money in the Bank queue, unless you really cared about specifically that title, you would want to have the big one because it gets you the most money in the bank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimate boner killer Matt Riddle. Wasn't he just? I loved this segment so much. So good. I was like, why aren't they crowded? Cause they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nailed their character. I love it when they speak. I love what they've gotta say. I believe what they've gotta say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the same is true of the new day. And I know that this is the feud, the new day in the bloodline, uh, specifically the USOs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is like a feud that never dies, I don't- but that was then, alright? This is now, with a new day that haven't been at the top for a long time, and with the bloodline with the Yusos that are better than they have ever been. This is a different- and it's a different ballgame, because it's legacy against legacy. Ballgame. And I was so- very good. And I was so in. And then Matt Riddle comes out. And I'm like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What they said in, uh, would saying, you know, I had to build a whole YouTube channel to gain relevancy. We were given scraps and we turned it to gold. What Kofi said about this, you know, we may never be the new day again, probably like we were. So it's not about just, you know, taking the titles off you and having another reign. It's about protecting what was. It's about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And because the crowd is as much of a selling point to you as the viewer as anything else. So I was like, I'm buying this, but maybe I'm wrong watching this segment because the crowd is so dead. But no, this crowd were awful. This crowd didn't react to anything all night. That's what made me realize that actually this segment was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also likes to do marijuana, which you smoke in a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, you could have had any of the- I think the heels were the right ones to go over full stop, but you could have had any of the heels pin Matt Riddle. By choosing solo to be the one to do it, you put solo over as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and if what you said in your review is true, someone had apparently told you that they lost the World Series and so they were a bit bummed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like a baseball as much as anybody except that anybody has to be not from America because Americans obviously love their baseball very much but surely not that much. Not enough to tank an entirely separate sp-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you hear what Kevin Patrick said on his way to the ring? He said, uhm, I wonder why he's got up his sizeable sleeves. Which is another funny line about JBL's bad tailoring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well done. What we, what we got was, She Found Us. And instead of some music playing, I heard a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kevin. Come on, Kevin. Give us a wide shot. But Mia looks great. And I really, I'm high on Mia. I like her a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got a seat that I can sit on. Yeah, anyway, uh, but no, my Catholic, she hasn't followed me back on Twitter yet, but I imagine that's just because she's waiting to sort of see what the lay of the land is in the Elon world before, um, you know, she decides to ultimately follow me back and we can begin the greatest love story ever told.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Bavar would take the loss earlier, I guess. So uhm, but sure, I like Otis very much. This was a match that happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I thought was weirdly placed because it came just after Mia debuted. So if you're gonna present us with- I mean, it's the idea of at some point in the future, not now, sure. But it was just like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did have a little backstage segment, uh, backstage video, like a fan-captured video, very well-produced fan-captured video, by the way, of a clash between them in the parking lot, which gave you the semblance that there might be some heat and you have your P.G. Williams. I had my Molly Holly. She was there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was thrilled about it, uhm, but then yeaah, the segment starts and they, and they do, they do look fine and, and, and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That got you heated in this way. This is the segment that really started to derail the show for me completely. Because I got really cross on a number of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Firstly, this did feel, this is the first time I wrote it and it felt like a rehearsal. Because there was so much space, there was so much room between the things they were saying. No one felt like they'd really figured out how to deliver the line with the killer instinct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Secondly, when Dakota says you haven't beaten Bailey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You didn't, you couldn't keep her down for ten. So you had to resort to a tactic and a gimmick. You had to trap her and stop her. That doesn't count. You didn't knock her out. Bailey had you beat, were it not for you trapping her in a ladder. You could say something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Bailey, I thought was selling it quite well, cause she looked mad. She, and then she was on commentary later on and she just was a little bit like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was had to on this show. That's exactly it. Dakota was acting really weird, like a little, no, sort of like, it was a very odd thing. And then we did have the, uhm, Ascarinio, which I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Loved, by the way. Did you, have you seen the translation of what they said?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Granted, I have only seen a video, so I don't know if, I don't know the 100% accuracy of this, but it seems pretty, you know, basically, uh, what they said was, Asuka was like, just admit it, you can't beat us on ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, yeaah, bash each other. I wanna see a feud between these two, and I don't care if they speak a word of English once. Like, they're that good. It doesn't actually matter what you say as long as you buy it. The only bit of this I'm still into is Asker and E.O. Yes! They're either, because we haven't really seen that in any way. But yeaah, the whole thing felt like a rehearsal. I'm just crossed because it's not far from savaging.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then when Bianca does say, uh, this isn't, uh, this isn't a battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, this is a war. And then she said, this is a war. It's time for war games. It's time for war games! I was like, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fine. But why would you argue all games? Because you are currently...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so no, and that storyline exists separately and I don't want that to become part of, because it diminishes two stories. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think seeing two vacant spaces is going to make you go, ah, Sasha and Naomi. But I would rather, why, why do they have to come back together?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they left together. Yes, and they were tag team champions when they left, and they could make, the argument could well be, you have those belts, but we're the champions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, maybe, probably maybe I would see for that, but like, uhm, what if Bailey brings back Sasha?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the point of damage control, if we forget because they have messed it up so badly, but the point of damage control is people who were left behind and not treated very well. Who wasn't treated very well. Sasha Banks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lately it has been bad, to the point where when they won the belt back at Crown Jewel I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and I thought then Bailey was going to win the women's belt, so they would have all three, but no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but Kai did turn on Tiganox in a wargames match, so. Yeah, but, you know, bygones be bygones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose. Yeah, I suppose. Um, I funnily enough had watched a compilation of Sheldon Benjamin moments on Twitter. I think either Lance Dormort or Shane Helms had tweeted it out and been like, he's a real one. Um, and it was just, oh, he was great. So great. Um, and I do like, the thing is the notes that I wrote for this don't count anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the end of the show, cause I was like, oh great, so you're putting the, you did the thing where he like trash talks Seth too long and then, you know, he's, he's naive cause he's not got that instinct cause he's still quite young. So you place him against a veteran like Sheldon Benjamin. And the whole point of it was he was calling me a dinosaur and I'm not, don't count me out yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You still win and like, okay, so it's good for the idea that he, he can be that arrogant. That's what makes those moments when his arrogance gets the better of him more impactful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could have anyone against, uh, Baron Corbin, and you picked Cedric Alexander, and then for Shelty B to be there as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I'm past caring. That's the key detail. That's the key detail because we spoke about this last week in, uh, when you were in Accenture. Um, and it was very much a case of this was really entertaining four weeks ago. Yeah. You know, and it's, and it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care anymore. And I, I was one of the ones, cause I'm, I'm, I'm a Miz apologist. I'm one of the ones who was giving this as much as, as, uh, I could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another thing that was put to you guys on the content club was that the bloodline storyline is just basic storytelling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got quite cross because it isn't because the bloodline storyline is multifaceted and layered and it's a full network of things and it's a lot of different characters with lots of different motivation and they're, and they're all coming together in this one tension building thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is basic storytelling, because your basic storytelling is plot, character, motive, uh, and then conflict and then resolution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we've got that, we've got all of those things, but the structure of it is not being executed well. When things are basic, that does not mean they are bad. There are a few things in this world better than a Victoria sponge. That is a basic cake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it's done well, it's delicious. When it's done badly, it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's that? And that's what's happening now with this. This as a plot, this even as a contrivance of he was paying Dexter Lumis. All of it, fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four weeks ago. Yeah. Now, don't care. The match though!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause that won't be as good as Miz vs Gargano. I just don't want it. I was just ashamed. Cause I was so hype. And now I'm not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? What have you got against Dana Brooke? Also, Nikki was doing crazy pacing, but the frame was quite tight, so she couldn't go very far, so it all felt very devised drama A-level. Oh yea. And I wasn't, I didn't like it. But no, you know Golden Corral?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They love hiring veterans. They only mentioned it like 16 times during the show. Oh, okay. So I wrote it down. Cause it got my nerves. Do you know what I wrote down in my notes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is not nitpicking. We and any wrestling reviewer get called out for nitpicking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, you were gonna put that in the bin, the world's biggest bin, and you missed, do a second take. I'm sorry, go back over there, go 10 meters where you were, carry on walking, we'll do a second take, and then I'll go live. Because if you want me to buy that your show is important and must watch and good, then you need to show it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the thing, so the title needed to go in the bin. Sure did. Don't get me wrong. Bad title. In that second take when it landed in the bin, I would have been all for it. The title needed to go in the bin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just feels like, and this is again part of the pressing the reset. Triple H is getting rid of certain things that just make no sense. Vinci are dead. La la la. Gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel bad for Dana, because Dana has been through some stuff, and worked really hard, and I, you know, she's not necessarily the most, uh, gifted, she's not necessarily the best performer, but she's really working on it, she's doing her thing, respect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the one two punch of it being like, oh yea, the 247 title exists. And Corey Graves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having a go at her at the end of the match, for me, felt really pointed, quite sad, and I didn't like it. It was unnecessary. It left a sour taste in my mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, this was a very clear double turn. I think we've been teasing that with Seth, but I think the, the Seth saying, I've been here 10 years, we get a big thank you Seth chant. Uhm, then the, the, I've been absolutely beaten up, but I'm gonna take the match, so I'll take the match and I'll fight and I'll kick out everything. That was incredibly baby face. And of course, he's blonde now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think that one, two, three, that's a turn. I think Bobby has been teasing a heel turn with the Brock stuff. I think his, him, him being happy to be elitist and at the back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when Brock came out to the ring and then beating up Brock after the match after he lost clean and then, you know, not even taking the match, beating up Ole in the back, beating up, he's going on a heel tear. I think this was a double turn. I think was the only effective thing about this segment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were hot for Seth. They will chant his theme song. Yea, and they did say thank you Seth. I do think, I hope they don't, uh, take away some of his teeth. I hope they don't take away the, the small meanness of it, cause that works in, in this character. So, uh, but no, I think it's a double turn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, one and a half to two. And those, those stars are for the heal, uh, face turn, uh, for the Usos at the beginning and for Cathy Kelly. Not for me yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know Survivor Zero 2003, uh, used to be my desktop background for a bit. They released the picture of it, and so I remember back in the day I used to change it for each pay per view. That's, that's what I remember of Survivor Zero Zero 3. The card? Not a clue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was, uh, quite entertaining. I liked that. And the crowd boy was very like, whoa, cool. Okay, we're going to do something with this. And I know that Alexa was frustrated that they never really got to explore the depths of that storyline. I thought Bray was going to, if they'd have done that moment in the match and given a, rather than Nikki Cross interfering, that would have been really interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My daughter doesn't really get high fives. Oh. I've lost to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One year old. Uhm, Brian Moore says, Lashley caught himself running theory into the post, which is the second time that's happened. He had a scar on his cheek for over a year after doing the post run to ricochet. Lashley scarred himself twice by kicking too much ass. Lashley is a badass. That scar did look good on his chest. It was a really cool, I was like, oh, hello. Skye Shadowrun says, sigh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I believe he's doing backstage stuff at NXT. Yeah, I, um, I mean, the thing is, I'm easily sports entertained too, and this just didn't do it for me. Bobby Rude, I think, uh, world title? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Impact player, US title, no one put intended, uh, US title and intercontinental title? Possibly. Yeah. If they can bring him back with glorious. Yeah, because the character was great. And as NXT champion, I think he looked a million dollars. So, um, yeah, but, but at this stage of his career, what's he wants to do and where are his?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got my driver's license and finally got a job outside of retail. Well played. So I enjoyed myself. That being said, they still should have done something different. Maybe NXT champ as they tease. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think at this point it is just raw, like it's not even Triple H versus Vince Raw, this is just, it's now his, so we almost need to put Vince to bed, especially because he's trying to get us to do that with the choices he's making. Uhm, but the execution of it all was very, just like, first draft. Come on, try harder. Tails P!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] OMG, Corbin won on his own. Did Heavy Machi- Oh yea, there were very few interferences. That's true, yea. Yea, yea. Did Heavy Machinery ever get a tag-tile match? Miriam is back. Do you think she'll do Keith Lee moves like Charlotte with Andrade?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You haven't beaten Bayley. Bayley chose the match. She chose the ladder match too. This is it. It's logic. The logic isn't there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] German Chavez. Good morning guys, I agree with Luke. I was thoroughly sports entertained. Fair enough. EO vs Asker at Mania. Have a great day, both of you. I would love to see you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. This crowd was ass cheeks. They really were. And that first 45 minutes was great, and that's what was frustrating. Uh, Gabriel Reyes back again. This is how you know Nikki is a true heel. Everyone knows that jerks miss the bin and just walk away. She was littering! That's exactly right! She did litter!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so emotional and so tense anyway. I don't think they need to do anything. I agree. Because I, because it's one of those things of like, if they win, then they break the New Day's record. It's that day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the dates work out. It's amazing how it's lined up. You know, it's perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they lose, then this is the beginning of the wheels falling off the bloodline. And that's enough emotion for me, without any sandwich now. I completely agree. Uhm, but you know, curious. Uh, Oliver Barcello, I know it's early, but who are your top three picks to win the Royal Rumble, minus Sammy Cody or Nakamura?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think at this point, realistically, whoever wins the rumble is facing Roman at WrestleMania and probably will be the person to defeat Roman. That said...

[Assistant] If he keeps the belt, he's actually not that far away after WrestleMania from getting to a thousand days and break. I think, I think it's 800 days a day. By WrestleMania, it'll be 140 days. So if they can keep it a little bit longer, he'll get a thousand days of jam and he'll break the CM Punk reign.

[Assistant] Jericho appreciation society vs. Blackpool content club is getting long in the tooth, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not feuding with Jericho, uh, but I would like to see it. Uh, but we all worked ourselves into a shoot because the main argument all year from fans has been, are we sports entertained or this is wrestling? Lol, all makes sense now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Yorkmaster, uh, not gonna lie, I actively get annoyed whenever you make negative jokes about sports. Doesn't matter the country, people take their favourite sports very seriously. I mean, why else would I watch wrestling videos on YouTube? Be kinder, please. Seriously. Love you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a, as a card carrying Manchester United fan and heading into the World Cup, I vibe. I agree. I know what you mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is interesting though is that American sports are very exclusive to America, and so we don't get baseball because we don't have it. So I don't get why a crowd would be so sad to lose in the World Series. That's the interesting thing. Whereas like, with soccer, even that says.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you ever take it personally, just picture Andy Datsun seething, and then you'll be fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is curious that our own offenses should seem so much less heinous than the offenses of others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose the reason is that we know all the circumstances that have occasioned them and so manage to excuse in ourselves what we cannot excuse in others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when we come to judge others, it is not by ourselves, as we really are, that we judge them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How scornful we are when we catch someone out telling a lie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But who can say that he has never told not one, but a hundred? There is not much to choose between men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For my part. I do not think I am any better or any worse than most people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The knowledge that these reveries are common to all men should inspire one with tolerance to oneself as well as to others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I've learned anything, I've learned a person. Any person can do just about anything they set their mind to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most important of these is belief in yourself. But you only need a seed. Your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your self perception is that you're too lazy, too busy, too unworthy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Too unfocused, too depressed, too dependent on others, too anything to accomplish great things, then you're right. You are that because you believe that, but you can change that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Life is change and the past doesn't equal the future. Your reality today is the result of your past beliefs and actions. Change your beliefs and actions and you change your future.

[Assistant] It's super cool and fun, super cool and fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Consider you. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow. Stop and think about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion. You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity. You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, tag, you're it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautiful young people are the whimsy of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become beautiful just by virtue of the aging process. Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the art of life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can learn slowly and sometimes painfully by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers.

[Assistant] No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world. And today we have the man who goes by many names, but what do you prefer? Retro?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So have, have you lived through the thing now where it's kinda like people come up to you so much because they recognize you but don't know your name that you just feel like you've been fully meme-ified? Do you feel like you've reached that point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, it's insane because they both are like, relatively well known, but they get people coming up to them who know them just as like, you're the Sudu guy so much. And today, a couple different times, I said to like, probably five different people, I was like, you know, retrospective. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. A couple of people were like, no, who's that? I'm like, you know, the disappearing peace sign meme guy and the, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you've done the 20 minute YouTube thing. Right. It's so different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause if you're in high school and you're obsessing over clothes and girls and all this stuff, it's like you're kind of missing the point that when you're 14, 15, 16, it's like this is the time in your life, and especially I hate, you know what I hate? I hate motherfuckers who are just chilling, smoking weed at 14, 15 and stuff. Not that I hate them cause those are my fans and I fucks with you, but it's just, it's like when you're that young, you should not want to chill, you should want to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, well, so when you first started to put like videos online, you were just doing it to fucking make the people in the neighborhood laugh and stuff like that, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think a lot of people miss out on that. You know, I was thinking the other day about how life sucks, like when you're young and shit, until you actually have a good group of friends that you feel comfortable around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if you didn't have those dudes sorta like to support the stuff that you were into in terms of just being funny online, you might not have felt so comfortable. And then it was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having a good sense of humor, I guess, if your parents were open about comedy from a young age. Not just comedy, but about just fun conversations and being playful with each other and stuff, which is kind of required.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright guys, so we had to bust in here real quick to give a shout out to our sponsor, that's getquip.com slash nojumper, g-e-t-q-u-i-p dot com slash nojumper. Basically, for those of you who watch the vlogs you'll know that recently I went to the dentist and they told me


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My gums were being pushed back a little bit too much from aggressive brushing that the best thing that I could do would be to get a high quality electric


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For just five dollars it includes free shipping and the cool part is that you will get your first refill pack free if you use the Getquip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So head on over there. If you want to get an electric toothbrush, I can promise you this is a great one. It's a great way to support the podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you're around people who are older than you and have a more evolved sense of humor, a more evolved ability to have conversations and you're younger and you're sort of wanting to compete with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Yeaah, that is a weird thing because when I think about it, like, you need that creative group of people to support you. You need, like, like, until you find your friends, life can be very, very touching. Bruh, like, like. Especially if you're creative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you and the Lean Squad are officially, you know, you're putting videos on Facebook, just sort of doing stuff more, uh, for the local friends and stuff like that. When did it start to occur to you? Like, oh, we're actually making videos that people outside of our little circle can enjoy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, when did you, uh, was there any like content in particular that you put out that first started to feel like it was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, actually reaching a bigger audience was like one breakthrough piece.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but, so when you offici- so wait, you were just making vines at that point, and was that part of a vine?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're so lucky that you always kind of knew that it was important to do stuff on all platforms because people who just started out with the Vine thing, you know, that just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you look back at that era, what was like an average day of you making content because you gotta think some days you'd be making a little 5, 6 second video, some days you're making a fucking 10 minute video, like how would you guys sort of brainstorm and collaborate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and it's crazy too because I think when people think about Vine and Vine's legacy, a lot of it is the fact that so many new creators were given a voice on them because it was a platform that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should go get a fucking internship just so you can be around musicians and shit. Regardless of any of what's happening right now, you might need to go do your internship for two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then you meet the right people, you might be able to do more that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you, you gotta just, because listen, like I happen to know about podcasting and I happen to know about like a specific like type of rap that was popping up, you know, SoundCloud rap, this whole scene and stuff. And it was like, the fact that I already was doing BMX podcasts and then I like then knew about this thing, I put them together, boom, no jumper happens. And like, from your perspective, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you, you for a certain period of time might have been somebody who's just watching videos online, but you're young and you're, you're, you're creative and stuff. So then you take that information and like, even when you're sitting around just consuming content, watching like joke videos on Twitter, Vine, Instagram, whatever you're, you're learning, you're like picking up on things. Like if you're smart, you're looking at that and thinking like, well, what's my version of that? How could I make my own kind of spin on this thing that I'm watching?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you feel like you've been on your own kind of the whole, I mean you have your squad, but have you ever had like a manager or somebody who was really like helping you get deals or stuff like that or have you mostly been doing everything on your own?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Facts, yeaah. Like getting a manager or whatever is kinda risky for a lot of people because they get a manager so that they never have to learn how the business works. In reality, you wanna get a manager because at a certain point you get so busy that you can't necessarily do everything for yourself, but you wanna be able to understand as much of the business as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me this, the concept, the whole theme, you have a lot of different videos that fit into this format of blank rapper in the studio. How did that first come about and did, was it originally, was the intention like, oh this is how we're going to call attention to gay lyrics in hip hop?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I love about it because anyone who's actually been in the studios with rappers and stuff knows that a lot of times these guys are in there, they're super fucked up, they're barely piecing their lyrics together, they're not really thinking about what they're saying, so I can totally understand how Soulja Boy would basically just say that he was fucking Zaytoven, even though that's not what he wanted to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that says a lot too because a lot of producers, producers will send out a song and they never fucking even think about what happens to it after. You know, they get their little money or whatever. They're not paying attention to the lyrics. That, that whole lyric.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, from someone in your perspective, it's like you already built this following for yourself online. I feel like you already have all these opportunities and stuff that going to college to make connections, it's like that's what you've been doing by putting content online for all these years is making connections like that probably, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what's most important? The momentum that you have right now from putting stuff online. You go away for a year. It's a lot of times hard to come back, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think taking time off can be important, but you gotta do it strategically if you do wanna do it, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever you want. Alright, back into the podcast. So when did you get the call about the Atlanta thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was your reaction when they told you what they wanted you to do? Because you basically, for those who don't know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A black man who's convinced that he is a 35 year old white man. What did you say when you heard that? Transracial guy? What the fuck?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did that make you feel it? Because you're so used to like making content is you wake up, you start, you, you meet up with your friends, you make the video, whatever. It's fun. You get to take exactly as much time as you want to do it. But then you go to do the TV thing and it's like, you got five guys who are lighting the set up. It's like so complicated. Did it occur to you? Like that's the kind of thing that I want to do more of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what, I've heard somebody say like, if you have to hire somebody ever to do anything for you, that you should think of that as like a paid internship. Like you're paying them to basically teach you how to do something that they know how to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From that though, like do you feel like you're going out of your way to get more TV work or is that something that you're just gonna sort of let it come to you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the vision like at this point? Like what, what do, when you wake up in the morning and you're in creative mood, like what typically do you feel like you want to funnel that energy into?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you had to, like, cut people off who were people that were around you because you felt like they were sort of, didn't have your best interests in mind or they weren't contributing to your creativity?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to know, okay, so I look at someone like you and you're like a dude who didn't really have a lot of opportunities and you just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like it when I see somebody like trash in a 7-Eleven, but with Boonk in particular, I seen like one video of him where he's like really like rubbing up on some girl at a gas station and seemed like it was just really like inappropriate and that kind of like tripped me out because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think it's sort of a slippery slope. Once you start to be like, oh, you can go viral by doing something fucked up. It's like, well, if it's okay to pick on the guy who works at 7-Eleven and mess with him, then who is it not okay to mess with? And maybe we should just sort of nip this in the bud and be like, hey, it's not cool to go and fucking ruin somebody's day to make a funny Instagram clip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you were in that, that, uh, writing room scenario, did that occur to you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, because being a writer for a big TV show is like a very like rare coveted thing if you're in the TV industry or whatever, but you're used to doing stuff on your own in a lot of ways. Did it occur to you as like uhm, I could like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do this for a career, like be in these writing room scenarios, be involved in the production of shows, or do you want to have more of like a straight up hands on approach to your content?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thinking in my head, I'm like, you know, this is why, like, as people get more famous, they get way more picky about who they let do content about them, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like letting your kid go to school for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, like, probably the more realistic way that you could get used to it is if you found an editor and you let him do his edit and then you go through afterwards and you're like, no, no, I gotta change this, this, and this. But I don't know, even that is like a big, you know, sacrifice time was, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's awesome, yeah. I fuck with that. Uhm, have you ever thought about doing stand-up? Nah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know a lot of like comedians who like that's their thrill in life is to go to a comedy club and perform in front of, you know, a hundred people or whatever and they kill it for 20 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the, like, they wanna just do that every night. It's weird for me because if I was gonna, you know, spend all that time writing stuff or whatever, it's like, I wouldn't wanna go do that in front of one room of people. I would wanna make that into a video and put it online and ideally get, you know, hundreds of thousands of people to see it. Yeah, yeah. That's what gets my dick hard. Whoa. Pause. Pause. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that's one thing that I'm glad with podcasts is that everybody who does podcasts does ads for all these goofy ass companies. So I don't really feel bad about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I figure it's like, this is what people do on podcast, so I'm like, alright, I'm gonna do it, so fuck it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, out here it's like all the things, all the influences you're gonna be taking in are gonna start to sort of be the same influences that everybody else is taking in because everybody else is out here and it's like, you know, I feel that way too where it's like I was thinking if I wanted to write a book or work on some like big long-term project that I probably want to go back to where I grew up in New Hampshire because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out here there's so much shit going on it's like impossible for me to fucking just not be involved with all the shit that's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be raw, be unfiltered with it, like yeaah. I, I get a real thrill out of like, people coming to me and just telling me like, oh we want you to do all this, we want you to do that, and just being like, nah I'm good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But a lot of people, like, they could take that money and save it for, to buy a crib, or to buy, you know, a car, or to travel, or to do this, this, and this, and they just end up blowing it on jeans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, last question is, how did you end up linking up with Gleesh? Because Gleesh is a DMV legend, as you are slowly becoming, and uh, I just thought that was cool that you guys ended up collabing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you, uh, did you grow up saying mo kill at the end of all your sentences?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Thank you for Glitch, because otherwise I would be, what the fuck is he talking about? I remember, cause he would always be saying it on Twitter at the end of every sentence, just mo, and I'd be like, what is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I think I might have seen him explain it on Twitter before I did the interview, so I felt like I kinda understood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm very thankful that you came into this as a very informative conversation. I'm very, I'm very optimistic about your future. I feel like you're going to be a very rich man one day, very famous guy. I think so, mind my words. Anybody mind my words. I got faith. For real. Big time. For real, for real.

[Assistant] Can he be my master? I'm not a servant. I cried. No, ms. Eyre.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are less than a servant, because you do not work, replied Miss Abbott. They both looked at me as if they strongly disapproved of me. You should remember this, said Bessie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stayed silent, listening to these painful reminders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you are angry and rude, Mrs. Reed may send you away, added Bessie. Anyway, said Miss Abbott.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God will punish you, Jane Eyre, for your wicked heart. Pray to God and say you're sorry. They left the room, locking the door carefully behind them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The red room was a cold, silent room, hardly ever used, although it was one of the largest bedrooms in the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nine years ago, my uncle, Mr. Reed, had died in this room. And since then, nobody had wanted to sleep in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Military pressure on the Assad regime


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's okay to solve the whole political crisis in big negotiations. This will be with people from the Assad regime. I just said this. I think the major fear of people, of Syrians, the major fear is that now we misunderstand Bashar al-Assad as a partner in the fight against terrorism. This is the main point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That people think, and this has, uh, come up, some people have come up with this in western capitals. They say, well, you know, he's the lesser of two evils, so let's fight ISIS with Bashar al-Assad. So this is a very wrong conception and this is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People who don't know, who don't understand the very dynamics in Syria, because Bashar al-Assad himself, as Fawaz Tello just mentioned, he's the reason for ISIS growing up. He has always gone after the moderates. He's fighting the moderate rebels, the moderates, the activists on the ground. These are the people that Bashar al-Assad had gone after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He left the jihadis out of his, he freed them from his prisons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get to a real negotiating process, you have to change some military things on the ground. And just let me finish with one point. Bashar al-Assad does not control his areas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Iran is very important player inside, military player inside the country and his bowler, Lebanese his bowler. So Bashar al-Assad cannot even be a partner because he is weak militarily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you see the Assad regime does not move unless it feels, unless it has some real fear in front of military action. This was the red line with the first chemical attacks in the summer of 2013 in East Ruta of Damascus, you know. They were really afraid that now Obama would send some


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Negotiate in which way to negotiate with this regime and what should this lead to? This is the one. This is the political opposition. Then you have the military fight inside where you have hundreds of rebel groups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of them moderate. They were aligned with this national coalition. They kind of distanced themselves. You have every other week you have new alliances. The major point is there are still inside Syria a lot of moderate forces being armed, being not armed, being civilian resistance, activists on the ground, local committees, local


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A military council inside Jordan, a US-led military operations center that is channeling all the foreign aid, foreign military and financial support to the Syrian groups. So there we have a strong moderate groups, whereas in the north


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it only makes a difference if there's anybody ready to go for it and to really implement these very few resolutions. The Security Council is paralyzed about Syria.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the very few resolutions that we have seen last year, there were two of them banning barrel bombs and asking for humanitarian access to the population inside Syria. Both of them are not being implemented.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reports of the international NGO says this very clearly. The situation has just grown even worse than before. The barrel bombs are used every day. They are raining down. You can watch them live falling into Syria. Bashar al-Assad is sitting there saying that, you know, we are not using barrels, we are just using bombs, you know. It's, it's ridiculous, you know. So now again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Power, powers inside the Security Council. Russia and China obviously trying to hold their protecting hands over the Assad regime. So we have the resolution. If nothing happens now, we have seen chlorine gas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, uh, it's clear that it has been used in Idlib again. Six people, one family wiped out. If you watch the videos, it's just horrific. Amnesty International having passed a report.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's everything, it's documented, everything is clear, everything is well known. The UN institutions themselves are saying chlorine gas is continuously being used because it's not forbidden as a chemical weapon because it can be used for other purposes. So it's all happening and nobody is ready to take up in the end this responsibility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As they walked upstairs, there was a bright flash of lightning outside followed by loud thunder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They sat down at the table and monks started immediately. So you were present when the old woman died, is that right? And she told you something? He stared at Mrs. Bumble again. Yes, said Mrs. Bumble, something about the mother of Oliver Twist, but first, how much will you pay me for the information?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's a lot of money for something which has been lying dead for 12 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reluctantly, he pushed the money across the table towards her, then bent forward to listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The faces of the three nearly touched as the two men leant over the table to hear what the woman had to say and the woman leant over towards them so that they could hear her whisper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the dim lamplight their faces look pale and ghostly.

[Assistant] A happy life is just under our control. Your life can be enhanced and your happiness enriched when you choose to develop a new perspective to get a new life. Get a life, a real life.

[Assistant] It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me. Something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my option, it would never have been changed at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what I learned from it is what today seems to be the hardest lesson of all. I learned to love the journey, not the destination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I learned that it is not a dress rehearsal, and that today is the only guarantee you get. I learned to look at all the good in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 8 It was not very fun being in the hospital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The room usually was hot and insects were everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the morning some nurses would take me to the treatment room to get my cuts cleaned while they changed the sheets on my bed. In the afternoon everything was quiet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The patients who were awake would occasionally talk with each other from across the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One afternoon I was told someone had come to see me. Moments later, a nurse brought Rinaldi in. He rushed over to my bed and kissed my forehead. Do you feel any better? He seated himself in the chair next to the bed. You know what's happening? They're planning to give you a medal. No way. What did I do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have been seriously injured. You at least will get the bronze one. And if you did something special, they will give you a silver one. Did you do anything special? No, nothing. Weren't you carrying anybody while you were wounded? Of course not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard you insisted on letting other patients get treated before you. I didn't insist very strongly. That's alright. I don't think it's a problem. I am pretty sure that you can get the silver one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were brave enough to apply to go to the front line. You should absolutely have it. We are all full of pride when we think about you. So how did the battle go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We took that little town and got almost a thousand enemies to give up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How are you doing? I'm doing very well. I'm becoming a better doctor every day. But enough about me. Do you still hurt? How are the wounds? How's your head doing? The doctor's chart says that your head is alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are really unlucky to have that major work on you. He's not a good doctor. He's more like a meat cutter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It must drive you mad to stay in this bed all day long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please, get out of here as soon as possible. I miss you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The room is so empty now that there's nobody sharing it with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course. I will go and get her. But you rest for a while. And here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I brought you some alcohol to take away some of the pain. By the way, I think the priest wants to come see you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, sometimes I wonder if you too aren't lovers. He said laughing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to go now. Get well soon. I have no one to joke with. He kissed me goodbye and then left.

[Assistant] And so, you guys have been making music for a while, you've been doing it together and individually. How does it change the way you make music or not when you're walking around with all those Grammys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world. And today we have the one and only Rico Nasty here on the podcast. A young lady who's making moves, racking up numbers, et cetera, et cetera. How you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can just let it loose. It's no jump error. It's the coolest podcast in the world. If you were on like, you know, Ecstasy or something, you could just tell us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, were you ever big on Gucci during his like big era of like, you know, when he was still super fucked up on drugs? Cause like when you listen to that stuff, it's so obvious that he's like, it's like the drugs are speaking through him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So do you have songs that you can listen to and you're like, oh yeaah, I was off something on that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But so yeaah, I heard you in one interview talking about how your son made it so much more of a challenge for you to decide like what was worth doing with your time and what you put your effort and energy into. Yep. Was that a huge turning point in your life in terms of getting serious about music and stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was your upbringing like? What kind of relationship did you have with your parents as a kid?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For smoking weed. Yes. I've researched. Even back then, how old were you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so wait, so you get kicked out and then we're ready to go from there after the boarding school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But how'd you get along there as opposed to in this boarding school environment?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if you want to be a rapper, it's like you have to be very willing to go outside the box of normal expectations for a person. And if you are that kind of creative person, a lot of times like the real strict school environments, they're just trying to strip any like creativity out of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were you doing the music thing when you were still at the boarding school or did that happen once you went to public school?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? But was there a moment where you like realized that you could be a rapper? Because I think in a lot of ways like the average girl's gonna not really see it as something that they could be accepted doing because there's not that many other women in the media and stuff. It's only a select few in comparison to how many men are rapping, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a huge part of like, getting, of growing up, is just realizing that, you know, people are gonna hate you no matter what you do, and that you gotta be okay with people having their opinions about you, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you're at the point now too where you know that if you get like a hate and ass Instagram comment that half the time if you were to respond to that person they're probably gonna be like, oh my god, I love you, you're the best. That's happened on Twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was there anybody in particular who was like helping you out with rapid in the beginning, like getting you into the mind state of like what it was to make a song? Anybody who taught you the game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? So he was musical from a young age?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Woah, that's crazy though, he went on tour with Jadakiss, that's pretty official.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're not scared to show them one of your verses and be like, what do you think about this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does he say anything like, fucked up that makes you just like, woah, like, that's my dad and he's talking about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. And so was that rough in any way or you just took it on the chin?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I was gonna say, you like put them head to head against each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's amazing. Did they have other kids in the mix here or were you like the only child?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Is that why you have so much self-belief and why you're able to be a rapper is because you really believe that you are the chosen one? That's what you need as a rapper, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a race that must have been. All of us really, we all won this crazy lottery. Isn't that amazing? This is really deep stuff and I'm not even smoking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I, okay, you wanna know what tripped me out? This is how I found out about you, is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My homie, Black Dave, from New York, who's a skateboarder and a rapper. He's dope, you should check him out. He was like, we were talking about girl rappers. He said, you know about Rico Nasty yet? I said, no. He went and showed me some of your videos. I was like, alright, this is hot. And then I saw Q the Fool in the video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, oh my god, it's a small world, because I had just gotten off tour with Lil Pump, and Lil Pump, like, lowkey his favorite rapper, Skew the Fool, he's singing his lyrics all the time. I was like, hey, it's a small world, look at this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are they the, those are the guys who brought the machine guns for the video? The guys who weren't on camera?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? So you have like an arsenal at home? Is this snitching? I'm sorry if it is. Okay. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. But I'm just saying, there's a lot of guns in some of these videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's cool to know that you're like proactive about that because I feel like we hear so much stuff about, you know, women being the victims of assault and stuff, but it's cool that you're like protecting yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cue the Fool is like, kinda like Black Youngstead in that they dance very well with guns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they're always dancing with guns. I like that. I appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guns and money. So do you appreciate the money phone or like Jay-Z took aim at that and said that it's whack and a lot of people seem to really disagree. How do you feel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you're new to the world of probably having a bunch of money, right? So it's like, you know, you're still excited about it. Jay-Z's had all this money for 20 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In your career and your pursuit of fame and riches that you might become too obsessed with the, the financial side of things?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I mean, it does look cool when you look out there and there's all these lights shining back at you, but yeaah, that is kinda nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. That's very true. So, you grew up in a very poor environment. You call it the trenches a lot. It makes it sound very, very intimidating, the trenches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just interested in the term the trenches because you make it sound really bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's got a dude rolling up for her just for the record. That's pretty cool. That's my boyfriend. Oh, okay, cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see, I wanted to ask about that too. I wasn't sure if that was your boyfriend, but I know that your boyfriend is your manager. So, is he the one who like really encouraged you to get into rapping or did this happen later?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the attitude that you have to go way harder than anybody normally would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you think people are sort of predisposed to not like girl rappers and that you have to really kill it in order to make them pay attention?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he's, he's an inanimate bear. Despite what she said on ecstasy, he can't move on his own, I don't think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although I fully embrace the possibility there. And you got two different pairs of Gucci glasses here for it. You can switch them out on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's crazy how we went straight from your boyfriend into the bear. I almost didn't even notice that we were talking about the bear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's dope though to know that he's, that your boyfriend's the one like sorta helping you out in this game though. I feel like a lot of people kinda need that. But do you think it was weird for him to go, to go from just being your boyfriend to being also


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guy who's essentially like coaching you and guiding you into your new career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like to be a rapper you have to basically have a huge ego, but then you also have to be able to take a step back and let other people in to be able to guide you in the right direction creatively or PR wise or whatever, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Wait, so, okay. You got expelled in high school for smoking weed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smoking a back one in school is extra crazy because it really stinks and the smoke is so thick you can see it from a fucking mile away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your first time ever smoking was a backwood at the bus stop when you were in 10th grade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you go through periods in your life where you were doing mad drugs and you were totally just lost, not doing shit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I was on Apple Music today. I love your music. I actually think it's fucking great. I'm a big believer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was trying to figure out who the fuck you're talking shit about on this popping song though that was like at the top of the album music thing. I feel like you've been embroiled in quite a bit of beef, but I just like don't really understand the history of all this shit that has gone on in the new age 2017 up and coming girl rapper scene that I've kind of become interested in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so I'm not 100% sure who you're talking about, but do you feel like it's a problem that like, okay, female rappers are in a huge minority in the rap scene and the underground scene, but then it seems like there's almost like a disproportionate amount of beef between them, or is it just the nature how it is? Is it these people in particular? Is it the media just loving to hype it up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, that's what rap has to accept, because for so long it was like, Nikki's number one, everybody else is like a million miles away from her, and now all of a sudden it's like there's a big scramble, because it's like, all of a sudden there's a lot of chicks coming from the top, don't you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You feel like the lyrical standard is higher? Like people just don't want to hear girls mumble rapping but then for some reason they seem totally okay with hearing dudes do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's weird though, because it's like, you could all listen to fucking Tay K saying, wear a nut shorty face, and it just doesn't even...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It occurred to you, but then for some reason there's something about hearing a girl say that that just seems different to people, don't you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, well does your boyfriend slash manager ever like hear you say something and he feels like it's a little too ratchet that he wants to like reign you in a little bit? Or is that not the kind of conversation you have?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what was the first like moment when your buzz online or whatever really started to build? Like was there one song in particular that started to take off?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yachty is a champion of underground, like he's doing all this mainstream shit now, but he really has done so many songs with people that were like on the way up and he doesn't necessarily get the credit for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is kinda jumping ahead, but like, how did you and him end up working together for the Fast and the Furious soundtrack? Cause that's pretty crazy. Probably a million people heard you for the first time on that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a huge movie, huge soundtrack. You're probably going to be getting checks for the rest of your life. I don't know how it works these days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love the fact that you are so open about wig culture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That looks cool. Yeah, I never even knew about that, but my girl has crazy baby hairs and she's always...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talking about it, stressing out over it, so now I know about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And do you feel like that makes you look really ratchet if they're just poking up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ever get your wig snatched?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like you're getting kicked out of a gang because you ran.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you starting to feel like you're getting enough attention that you need to be careful how you move around, like in terms of going out in public, going to the club, stuff like that. Do you feel like you're the target of too much attention or negative attention now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, girls with tattoos always have that problem too, that people just walk up to them and start touching their tattoos, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, you created that slogan? I made that. Okay. And that's supposed to be, who is that? That was like a cartoon of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks Asian. I wanna be honest. Like, an Asian cartoon character. Is that okay? I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like it. Sugar trap. What's on the other arm?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you're on your way. I can see you making it to heaven. Really? Personally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, if I was in hell or something? Or if we die soon?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 25 for some reason, an extra hour tacked on. What would you do in those 25 hours?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you just gotta make the most of it. You just know you're gonna die in 25 hours for some reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you avoid noodles on the day to day? Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as I understand it, you spent most of the day laying in a field, until a bug walked on you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm of the opinion that bugs are like one of the worst things on earth. Like when anywhere you go that they have too many mosquitoes, god, you could just never go to that place in my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did an interview yesterday, he jumped up on the table and walked right up to the guest and just started biting at him and fucking with him. He never normally does that, but he just had straight static with this one dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was homeless for like three years, so I feel like he got a lot of bad habits during that time. That's why he's not so sociable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, so do you have like an army of girl fans at this point? Like just, you have all these chicks that you're just inspiring to live a better life?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Taco Bella though, like what does she order at Taco Bell?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think she's shorter than you. She's Armenian. I'm not, I can't look at your boobs in the middle of this interview, I'm gonna get in trouble, sorry. I'm not making any kind of statement about this, I was just asking. Are you open to that? Is surgery a no-no? Are you not that kind of rapper?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard to judge that line where to some extent you kind of feel bad for people when you see them like doing the surgery thing because it's kind of like why can't you be just happy the way you are but then at the same time it's like why shouldn't people have the freedom to do whatever they want with how they look, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've always said that, that girls getting fake boobs is like equivalent to guys getting like sleeves, tattoos. Cause it costs like probably about the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It hurts really bad. I have no idea, but I bet if you were to get both of your arms tattooed in full with all color and stuff, you'd probably spend like around 10 grand, 8 grand, that's probably how much fake boobs cost too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. That's just my theory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being attractive, you know, taking sexy photos for promo and stuff like that and also being taken seriously as a rapper, is there any kind of balance there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I disagree. When you got the AR, iconic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you got this song, Gay, that is basically about how girls just turn gay for you. Is that your experience? I think Leilani's going through that. She already turned gay, but she's looking at you like a snack right now. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you say that you're actively turning girls gay, which is, that's a whole new level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's really good. Yeah, because it's like most stuff online, I feel like it tends to be majority male because men just, I think, watch more fucking YouTube videos and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, you mentioned, uh, like, watching makeup tutorials and shit like that. Do you have any, like, uh, girl YouTubers that you fuck with hard that you watch their videos and stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All these little Asian girls making tutorials and stuff. It's a whole scene out there, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like him. His videos are funny. I watched a video of him doing his boyfriend's makeup and it was super weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you're rapping and celebrating makeup, but do you ever feel like it's kind of oppressive? Like, you know, the idea that you have to like spend all this time in front of the mirror to leave the house in order to look a certain way?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want more for your fans. No Dusty rappers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is the thing with your music is you're saying some of the most gutter shit, but then the beats a lot of times sound so like, you know, childlike and fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you got the guns and the video and you're just super, you're like gangster as fuck, but you're over this fun background music. It's juxtaposed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, shout out to a person from a label that she is working with. Are you signed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No? Okay. Have you met with labels? Have you worked with any labels?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Walking in with Sa Baby merch on, you bugger. Anyway. Yea, but so what do you think about the label thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, do you think that that's a good move for you? Do you think that the labels have a lot to offer somebody like you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you believe that you could be like the one who really puts on for your area to a level that like nobody really has before?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even before this interview, I was like, the music's dope, but after this conversation, I'm like, you know what? She's got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once you're on like, uh, you know, the Jimmy Kimmel fucking show or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you gonna bring the bear? Where'd you get that bear anyway? Well now he's magical apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I learned a lot in this interview. I learned that there's a wig hustle. And I think that's pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a wig or a weave, like, do you do both?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still get a lot of people who come up to me to talk about tattoos. They have no idea that I do anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought you were gonna say a deep voice. Which, that's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So who do you want to shout out, who do you need to thank, and what do you have coming for the people?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were like, I don't know what to expect. I'm like, don't worry, I got you. You're gonna enjoy it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he said, he said we really killin' people, this shit ain't cool, addicted to molly, put it in my food. I was like, okay, I love him. That's, that's all I needed to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, can I give you one more iCarly fact before we finish? Yes! Gibby from iCarly, he was on this podcast. I know him. You want him like in your video, I could probably make it happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're plugged up, I swear to God. FaceTime him. Noah Monk, I swear to God I'll FaceTime him after this. Noah Monk, that's his...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so hey, this has been fine! I think everybody out there's gonna love Rico Nasty after this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a damn mailbox. Anyway. This is Ben. No Jumper. Coolest podcast in the world. Check us out on YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes. Go check out Rico Nasty right now. Soundcloud, YouTube, etc, etc. Instagram, Twitter, all that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Indeed I saw the bridge that which haunts our darkest dreams. I saw Durin's bane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said Gimli in a low voice, and Dread was in his eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Lady Galadriel is above all the jewels that lie beneath the earth. There was a silence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then when I forward him, like, I would talk crap to him, like, stop doing that stuff, and then like, I would beat him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She didn't even look like a smasher, you know. She looked good, I'm not gonna lie, but you see guys like flocking, I'm like, relax. You know, let her breathe, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The finest rockets ever seen. They burst in stars of blue and green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now these folk aren't wanderers or homeless and seem a bit nearer to the likes of us. They seem to belong here. More even than hobbits do in the Shire. Whether they've made the land, or the land's made them, it's hard to say. If you take my meaning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't stay here, he said wildly. I must go home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw a star through your fingers, but if you'll pardon my speaking out, I think my master was right. I'd wish you'd take his ring. You'd put things to rights. You'd stop them digging up the gaffer and turning him adrift. You'd make some folk pay for their dirty work.

[Assistant] Every year you say, well, they're not gonna get me again. They're not gonna get me again. Then all of a sudden you go, I think this is it. And they got you again, and then, bango, you're in the toilet again.

[Assistant] People would be dancing with their dogs and drinking all that champagne they'd saved up for all these years. But then like the next morning...

[Assistant] It would be the worst thing ever happened to them because they wouldn't be different anymore.

[Assistant] They'd be just part of the apparatus of baseball instead of this doomed operation.

[Assistant] Ari Frizzi was sitting in a taxi and he was bragging that he sold Ruth and the cab driver slammed the brakes, pulled him out and punched him in the nose.

[Assistant] It'll be very easy to root for a team that wins every year. That's no challenge. This gives me character.

[Assistant] Anyone who's been around the team for a period of time has to acknowledge that the ballpark has hurt this franchise in many, many more ways than it has helped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where it all started in terms of making some of the crazy things that I've made today, I think you probably have to look at the wall of death. So we built the wall of death because I had loads of pallets left over from the world's biggest bonfire that we didn't manage to get moved. So once we built that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The idea from the jet bike came from, we'd started making pulse jets, and the obvious way to take it forward was to put a pulse jet on something that moves. The jet was actually made from an old catering table out of a scrap yard, so me mates mum had got rid of her bike, it was an old rally shopper bike, and we thought, perfect, look at it, it's old, it's rusty, it's just begging for a jet.

[Assistant] So I've got five Guinness World Records, biggest bonfire, longest motorbike, fastest mobility scooter,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fastest pram and fastest toilet. The great thing about the Guinness World Records, it can give quite a mundane and stupid task a meaning, because like, the world's fastest toilet for instance, they said, you know, I want to go faster than 40, 50 mile an hour on a toilet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most people would just think why, you know, why do you want to do that? But whereas when you're doing it for a world record, it gives it a meaning and all of a sudden it becomes like socially acceptable. People's opinion of what you do

[Assistant] Even though it's not really that important, it does help if they're behind you. Because what I've noticed since my videos and stuff have got a lot more popular, is people are more willing to help me and give me stuff. The mobility scooter was given to me because the bloke who owns a shop in town watches all my videos and he was kind of like, hey, I'll see what you can do with this. Whereas at the start,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That never happened. It's kind of sad that it's that way round. It's like, well, you know, if we kind of helped everybody out like that all the time, then God knows what would get made or done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mobility scooter did 71 mile an hour. So cramming a motorbike engine in there and all the controls, gear shifting and stuff like that. That's where the steel lies, I suppose.

[Assistant] I don't worry too much about people emulating my things because I think the people that have got the get up and go to want to try and do it anyway normally have enough common sense and nous to know when something's going wrong or not.

[Assistant] I think it is a good time to be an inventor. Obviously with the internet, showing you how to do things, you know, programs like Dragon's Den, if people want to learn to do something now, they can easily get the information which before it was quite hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The good thing about what I do now, and similar to what I used to do when I was a BMXer, is there's always a new trick to learn, there's always something you can do bigger and better, and it's the same with this. There's always something else to make, there's always something else to make better.

[Assistant] Before the Reformation there were at times but very few copies of the Bible in existence. But God had not suffered His word to be wholly destroyed. Its truths were not to be forever hidden.

[Assistant] He could as easily unchain the words of life as he could open prison doors and unbolt iron gates to set his servants free. In the different countries of Europe, men were moved by the spirit of God to search for the truth as for hid treasures. Providentially guided to the holy scriptures, they studied the sacred pages with intense interest.
