[Assistant] Looks like Chase is just a little bit different, they're spread apart more. Then you have Tim, who is pretty much the same as Bubba. Yea, maybe a little bit lower the eyes are, and they're a little further apart, but all in all, you know, you have the mean expressions on the next gens. Then you have the grill there, the cool,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Headlights there with the blue accent and someone commented on my last review of Ryan Laney here and said that that blue is like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hamilton, you know, that was in Lightning McQueen, and I thought that was pretty cool because it definitely looks like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two tone continues onto the hood there, and I have to say, it took me like a solid


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blueish purple, which is basically his main body color. You have some circles there, they're very hard to see, but they are there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's a good angle, which is cool because it's transberry juice, so it's kind of like fizzy and so the bubbles are supposed to represent that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the side here you have the yellow stripe which then turns into all the fizzy bubbles which is awesome. I think that's the best part about him and that just kinda fades to smaller and less frequent bubbles there. His contingency sponsors are the Piston Cup Combuster, Carbon Cyber and Synergy. You have black.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rims there with black light year tires, very thin white text then, or there I should say. The six is within the yellow there, you have the yellow arrow to indicate to the picker where to live, Bubba up at to do work on the undercarriage, and there's the base while we're here if you're interested. Then you have the exhaust pipes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have some more bubbles that aren't yellow, they're just kind of like normal colors. Then you have the two-tone thing going on again here on this side and on that side as well. Six on the roof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have two roof flaps, and now this is one of those where the number changed from 63 to 6 because, ba-ba, Wallace's number in real life is 6, so they had to change it, of course, and that goes for the stock car, Cars 3, Transberry Juice Racer, that's a mouthful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you have a small Transberry Juice logo there and there, and you can see how much it has changed from the Cars 1 version. Uhm, the spoiler there, it's pretty cool. I think it's a brand new spoiler that we've never seen before. As you can see, it's kinda boxy, it does have like the flares.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On either side, it's just kind of like squared off, but that's okay with me. Lots of bubbles in there. On the back you have the rookie stripes, which are more orange than yellow, but I'm okay with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you have TJ there again in yellow, which is nice to see, a new logo, six over here, and kind of like a lavender, and that's pretty much all for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He actually is different, so you notice where the blue stripe is there? It's different. And same thing goes for Chase. Chase and Ryan are the only next-gens to have a design like that. And since, you know, these three kinda go together, I was kinda expecting Bubba to have the same, but, sadly, that is not the case today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now let's compare him to Lee Revkins here. So obviously the purple is less vivid and it's more of like a blue now, but yellow is still a primary color of the branding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can just see how like the designs are so different now. You don't have like the oil can where you drink it from. That is gone. You still have like the bubbles, but they're like solid now instead of being like more realistic bubbles or just kind of like representative bubbles, if you guys know what I'm saying. Like this swirl here thing is gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course it's so simple there on the hood, like, it doesn't even have like the logo, it's just TJ. Like that's what I love about the next gens, they're just so simple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blackrim's on both. It's a lot less busy, of course, on the next gen. 63, 6. Seems like the fonts are pretty similar, just less. It's just kind of like engraved into the yellow stripe there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Similar placement of the TransBridge's logos there toward the back, gas cap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty nice, pretty nice. Let me know in the comment section below, do you prefer Lee Revkins or Bubba Wheelhouse? Now for this one, this is actually kind of like a tough one for me because I really do like the vivid purple on Lee and all the bubbles and everything, but yea, I have to go with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they're all the same model, but you do have obviously different paint jobs, all have different spoilers, and slightly different expressions. Yea, all of them do have different spoilers, which is actually, uuuh, I don't know, are they different? I'm just gonna say they're different. I feel like they are, just slightly. I feel like Harvey's is like a little thicker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The stock car from Cars 3, another crew chief, well the real one, this is a factory custom, and a pity of course because they all have Amazon links as I talked about in my 2018


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's kinda weird because he's like two-toned as well, but it's not really meant to be. It's like a different pink or purple, and then you have like dark purples, so that looks kinda weird. And that purple, like none of the purples even match the purple on Lee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And same thing with the factory custom, it's like a darker purple, but you know, they all do it kind of nice together from a distance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, it's just nice to have, like, a factory custom like this to represent the crew chief even though I know he doesn't have the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like pitties and crew chiefs. And Bubba looks alright in with the gang here, but he's definitely the outcast. So guys, thank you very much for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video. And why'd the lighting get weird there? I don't know why. There we go, looking better. Now, I will see you guys next time for another video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just insane, so I really do appreciate that. There won't be a poll on this video because of course there was only three of them and that leaves Bubba


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so Ryan here is Incase K for Cars 3 Singles. The entire list of contents are in the description.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really does not matter. Alright, so you got your typical red and black car history packaging design. Ryan Inside Lightning. Of course you have Rusty's Lightning McQueen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In cars, so you know you have Shannon Spohs, you have like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike Joy or something. I think they call him like Mike Joyride in the movie or whatever, but he only like had announcements. He wasn't a physical car, unfortunately, but still you had stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that. Anyway, I just got sidetracked there, but like I said, I did not hear of Ryan Blaney before Cars 3. I have heard of Chase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know Jay-Z, hopefully Ryan Blaney does. But anyway, I'll put some pictures on the screen of where he appeared. He did have a couple of voice lines when McQueen, or McQueen I guess was like going missing almost and the interviewer Shan Spokes was going around asking some of the top next gens like Ryan himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think Ryan talked about how his grandfather


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I don't have anything to compare them to, really, because Blinker here, this fancy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like blinker thing or whatever. This is a new sponsor, a new company for Cars 3. There was not a stock car, blinker racer in Cars 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe his name is SpeedyCom and he's coming in a 2018 launcher. So there's the picture of him. He looks pretty cool, but just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have them yet, so can't really do any comparisons. I do like this expression, as with all the next-gens, they are very serious, very just focused and concentrated. So here's Tim Treadless, who is the same model but has a different spoiler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all have the same frown, but the eyes are always slightly changed. So it seems like for Ryan, they're just raised up a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chase, they're pretty similar here, but you can definitely tell that there's a difference between the spacing of the eyes. Ryan's are blue, Chase are green. Kind of quints down there how they match, like their designs for the cars, unless, you know, that's how it is in real life as well, I don't know. Harvey Rodcap here, he has a more calm expression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Ryan is like super serious. I think Tim Treadless is the most serious, but then Ryan, like he's just looking up very fierce. I like it though. So on the hood here you have this kind of like splash with all these dots, kind of like a ding. You think that, that, I don't know, that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like motion would come from a ding sound. I really don't know what I'm talking about. I'm tired. But anyway, you have like this half being the Blinker branding there with a nice futuristic font there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just simple white and then there's another one of the like splash dings. I like his grill and I especially like how there are blue and white accents above the headlights there. He also has his vents of course with a nice sky blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the metallic rims here. So if you look closely, those rims are definitely metallic. They're like a darker blue and they're a little shiny. So I think that's awesome. And then you have the orange trim going around it. So even though chases are cool, just being green and all, these really take it up to the next level. I like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course they are light year tires, just the next gen version where the tax is so thin there on the actual tire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His contingency sponsors are the Pissin' Cup, Combuster, CarbonCyber, and Synergy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which are the same as with most next gens, like Chase there or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost like a backwards S or something like that. But I do like it, very simple and modern. Then you have another one of the like motion bursts, I guess you could say. I guess that's better than just saying like the ding motion or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then this blue pattern that was on the hood as well with all the little patterns and designs in there, which are really cool. Exhaust pipes, but unfortunately see,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you have the blue arrow which indicates the picker where to lift up Ryan to, you know, do work on the undercarriage. Moving back, you have the blinker logo there again. Gas cap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 21 with, I actually really like how his orange paint is kind of metallic and you can definitely see it from this angle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, light really sparkles off of it. Roof flaps there, spoiler says blinker again with the blue pattern, the burst, and he does have a unique spoiler so far I think. I mean it's definitely different than Chase's. Way, way different than Tim's. And yea, I think it's different than


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harveys, I feel like it's a little bit like more curvy, whereas Harveys is definitely more triangular or trapezoidal or whatever, I don't know what word that would be, and they don't like usually cross.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the other model of next gen, you know, Danny or Ed Trunkin, Herb Kerbler, those guys. So I like that it's unique and I like that orange and blue. On the back, I like how the blue comes down right in the middle. I like the taillights. You have a blinker over yonder here. And 21 right there. Here's the base if you're interested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let's see if they are the same. Oh, just like Chase Racelet. So you can see that this side is different than this side. Same thing here with Ryan, which I love this feature. It's kind of like a new thing. I haven't seen it too much, but you have like this blue stripe going there. So see how it is behind the 21.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whereas here it's like way far behind the 21 and the motion burst is in between it. So just a little bit different layout, which is nice. I really like it. And see how that is right. It's a little off center there, but the black decals pretty much on the engraving thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's pretty cool, although not as cool as Chase Race it because of the emerald green there on his design, but still a very nice racer. And we're just going to do a little comparison here with his other model next gens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have them open yet, but when I do the video on him, then we'll be able to compare all five. So what I like about all these guys is that they all have different expressions and spoilers and obviously paint jobs. So, you know, you can't expect that all the model racers are going to be different models because it just, it's not realistic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm pretty sure that's all for Blinkery here. I don't know what I'm going to do for the thumbnail because I usually print off the logo of the sponsor, put it behind the car, and it looks really cool and everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But with Ryan here, no one has probably like been able to get the blinker logo yet and like make it transparent and whatever, so I might have to do some serious work for this thumbnail. I don't know what I'm gonna do guys, and I wish he came with a collector card, that would have been great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where flow's at right now, so that it's like even something more new and different to look at. So it'll be great guys, and I'll see ya then. Bye now!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to do the pink one to have any chance. And, uh, I don't know, I'm just really exhausted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A fine evening to you all. You're listening to Five Color Good Stuff on Dominaria Public Radio. I'm your host, Jota, Archmage Eternal. My guest tonight is animated scarecrow, the Reaper King.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what good stuff are you here to talk about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah yes, Ritual. The clean, vegan-friendly multivitamin. A good choice of good stuff. I've been taking Ritual for months and I sincerely love it. The elegant simplicity of the capsule. The lack of sugars and GMOs. Truly wonderful. These days, it can be hard to know what's going into your body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm, true, true. But with Ritual, it's easy to get high quality nutrients and really fill some of those gaps in your diet. Ritual just makes healthy habits easy. They deliver right to your door every month. And they have options for men, women, and teens. So anyone can find the right vitamin for their life.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As they finished eating, people started to drift away in twos and threes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some walk down to the edge of the waves, trying to skip rocks across the choppy surface.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And three teenagers from the reservation perched around the circle, including the boy named Jacob and the oldest boy who had acted as spokesperson. A few minutes after Angela left with the hikers, Jacob sauntered over to take her place by my side. He looked 14, maybe 15, and had long glossy black hair pulled back with a rubber band at the nape of his neck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His skin was beautiful, silky and russet colored. His eyes were dark, set deep above the high planes of his cheekbones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He still had just a hint of childish roundness left around his chin, altogether a very pretty face. However,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My positive opinion of his looks was damaged by the first words out of his mouth. You're Isabella Swan, aren't you? It was like the first day of school all over again. Bella, I sighed. I'm Jacob Black. He held his hand out in a friendly gesture. You bought my dad's truck. Oh, I said, relieved, shaking a sleek hand. You're Billy's son. Probably should remember you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm the youngest of the family. You would remember my older sisters. Rachel and Rebecca, I suddenly recalled. Charlie and Billy had thrown us together a lot during my visits to keep us busy while they fished. We were all too shy to make much progress as friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Rebecca married a Samoan surfer. She lives in Hawaii now. Married? Wow. I was stunned. The twins were only a little over a year older than I was. So how do you like the truck? He asked. I love it. It runs great. Yeah, but it's really slow, he laughed. I was so relieved when Charlie bought it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think a tank could take out that old monster, he agreed with another laugh. So you build cars? I asked, impressed. When I have free time and parts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wouldn't happen to know where I could get my hands on a master cylinder for a 1986 Volkswagen Rabbit, he added jokingly. He had a pleasant husky voice. Sorry, I laughed. I haven't seen any lately, but I'll keep my eyes open for you. As if I knew what that was. He was very easy to talk with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He flashed a brilliant smile, looking at me appreciatively in a way I was learning to recognize. I wasn't the only one who noticed. You know Bella, Jacob? Lauren asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what I imagined was an insolent tone from across the fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've sort of known each other since I was born. He laughed, smiling at me again. How nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She didn't sound like she thought it was nice at all, and her pale fishy eyes narrowed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bella, she called again, watching my face carefully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just saying to Tyler that it was too bad none of the Cullens could come out today. Didn't anyone think to invite them? Her expression of concern was unconvincing. You mean Dr. Carlisle Cullen's family?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tall older boy asked before I could respond, much to Lauren's irritation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, do you know them? She asked condescendingly, churning halfway toward him. The Coens don't come here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said in a tone that closed the subject, ignoring her question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tyler, trying to win back her attention, asked Lauren's opinion on a CD he held. She was distracted. I stared at the deep-voiced boy, taken aback, but he was looking away toward the dark forest behind us. He'd said that the Cullens didn't come here, but his tone had implied something more, that they weren't allowed. They were prohibited. His manner left a strange impression on me, and I tried to ignore it without success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing's clear, our backup's not coming, boys.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if I can't attack directly, effect damage will still be helpful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, the card that I drew is the spell Void Slasher. If my opponent has more than five cards in the drop zone, it inflicts one damage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's more than ten, it does three damage. Now, count the cards.

[Assistant] Darn, we gotta find out where Sakate disappeared to!

[Assistant] I thought we had an agreement that I could do things my way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm confused why you'd let that bonehead grimoire run the show. And then send over that loon guy to fight in my place? Forgive me, but you'd better have a good explanation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh-huh. The heart of the Chaos Control Company's HQ. Then that means that... Wisdom!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where are the goons? Sorry? This looks just like a normal office, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on, Mikado. Shake a leg. Let's get this show on the road. Sorry to disappoint, but you won't be fighting me! What? I'll be your opponent today, Keisetsu. Well, that figures. You always have been a glutton for punishment. Yes, I'll just slice you apart again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't be so sure. It's different this time. We've become stronger since our last fight. Ooh, I'm scared. You will be when we buddy fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be honest, it's kind of depressing. As long as I have Leviteen, no one will ever be able to beat me. So you admit that you need it? You're a weakling without it.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now do you understand? You're a weakling! Levitine's the most powerful card out there, and you can't compete!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You never know what'll happen during a Buddyfight. Wisdom gave you that card. If I beat you, will you be asking him for another strong card?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've convinced yourself that Wisdom's the one who made you strong, but he didn't. You did it yourself, Keisetsu. Got that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you wanna lecture me, you'll have to defeat me first! Come on, Athora. Let's win this thing, okay? That is why we're here, right? I draw! Charge and...

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I win. No way. I am going to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All to Athora's old return cost one hand card and one gauge. And during this turn, he can't be destroyed by any attack. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With his overturns effect, it means that you take one damage for every attack. So?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bro! Master Wisdom is the one who changed me!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thing is, I've still got three Armas, which can block your lame attacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now you've used it, you can't use Aldo Athora's overturn anymore! The victory is mine! You'll never be able to defeat me!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I already told you I got 6 life. Your Christiano Crystal Shoe can't finish me off. Keisetsu, we respect you. Well please, accept our new impact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't believe I lost to you again. It's only because of fighting you that we were able to get stronger. Huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After losing to you last time, we got pretty upset. And that made us...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, work extra hard to become even stronger. You're saying that you want to be defeated by me again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I didn't win, nobody'd even care about me! Keisetsu, you can't believe that's true!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike came through the door then, glancing from me to Edward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The look he gave Edward confirmed what Edward had said about loathing. He looked back at me, his eyes glum. You look better, he accused. Just keep your hand in your pocket, I warned him again. It's not bleeding anymore, he muttered. Are you going back to class? Are you kidding? I just have to turn around and come back. Yeah, I guess. So are you going this weekend to the beach?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was standing against the cluttered counter, motionless as a sculpture, staring off into space. I tried to sound as friendly as possible. Sure, I said I was in. We're meeting at my dad's store at 10. His eyes flickered to Edward again, wondering if he was giving out too much information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His body language made it clear that it wasn't an open invitation. I'll be there I promise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll see you in gym then, he said, moving uncertainly toward the door. See you, I replied. He looked at me once more, his round face slightly pouting. And then as he walked slowly through the door, his shoulders slumped. A swell of sympathy washed over me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my recent swoon had left a light sheen of sweat on my face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I sat in one of the creaky folding chairs and rested my head against the wall with my eyes closed. Fainting spells always exhausted me. I heard Edward speaking softly at the counter. Ms. Cope? Yes, I hadn't heard her return to her desk. Bella has gym next hour, and I don't think she feels well enough. Actually, I was thinking I should take her home now. Do you think you could excuse her from class? His voice was like melting honey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, it's all taken care of. You feel better, Bella, she called to me. I nodded weakly, hamming it up just a bit. Can you walk or do you want me to carry you again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This back to the receptionist, his expression became sarcastic. I'll walk. I stood carefully and I was still fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I walked out into the cold, fine mist that had just begun to fall. It felt nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As it washed my face clean of the sticky perspiration. Thanks, I said, as he followed me out. It's almost worth getting sick to miss Jim. Anytime, he was staring straight forward, squinting into the rain. So are you going? This Saturday, I mean? I was hoping he would, though it seemed unlikely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't picture him loading up to carpool with the rest of the kids from school. He didn't belong in the same world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just hoping that he might gave me the first twinge of enthusiasm I'd felt for the outing. Where are you all going exactly? He was still looking ahead, expressionless. Down to La Push, to First Beach. I studied his face, trying to read it. His eyes seemed to narrow infinitesimally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He glanced down at me from the corner of his eye, smiling wryly. I really don't think I was invited. I sighed, I just invited you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's you and I not push poor Mike any further this week. We don't want him to snap. His eyes danced. He was enjoying the idea more than he should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike Schmike, I muttered, preoccupied by the way he'd said you and I. I liked it more than I should. We were near the parking lot now. I veered left toward my truck. Something caught my jacket yanking me back. Where do you think you're going? He asked, outraged. He was gripping a fistful of my jacket in one hand. I was confused. I'm going home. Didn't you hear me promise to take you safely home? Do you think I'm going to let you drive in your condition?

[Assistant] His voice was still indignant. What condition? And what about my truck? I complained. I'll have Alice drop it off after school. He was towing me toward his car now, pulling me by my jacket. It was all I could do to keep from falling backward. He'd probably just drag me along anyway if I did. Let go, I insisted. He ignored me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I staggered along sideways across the wet sidewalk until we reached the Volvo. Then he finally freed me. I stumbled against the passenger door. You are so pushy, I grumbled. It's open, was all he responded. He got on the driver's side. I am perfectly capable of driving myself home. I stood by the car fuming. It was raining harder now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was mentally calculating my chances of reaching the truck before he could catch me. I had to admit they weren't good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll just drag you back, he threatened, guessing my plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Historically, we had a situation where, uh, two scientifically illiterate lawyers argued the bona fides of scientific evidence before a scientifically illiterate judge, so the 12 scientifically illiterate jurors could decide the weight of that evidence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is only where the explorer has gone beyond the domain of mere discovery and has laid hold of the new principle and connected it with some mechanical contrivance by which it acts on the material world that he can secure exclusive control of it under the patent law. The patent is invalid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now how do you do it, or is that your secret? I wish it were my secret, but the stuff is so well known you can't stop them from recognizing you. I'll just have to be the father of painless dentistry and let it go at that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dear, good-hearted Miss Bates these days. Dear Miss Bates, as much as usual. And I think we all of us know what that means, do we not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] May he, Mrs. Weston? Of course he may. Take the chair opposite the fire, Mr. Walthouse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to Seattle for the day, a week from Saturday, if that's okay. I didn't wanna ask permission, it set a bad precedent. But I felt rude, so I tacked it on at the end. Why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I wanted to get a few books. The library here is pretty limited, and maybe look at some clothes. I had more money than I was used to having, since thanks to Charlie, I hadn't had to pay for a car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that the truck didn't cost me quite a bit in the gas department.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That truck probably doesn't get very good gas mileage, he said, echoing my thoughts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I'll stop in Montesano and Olympia and Tacoma if I have to. Are you going all by yourself? He asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I couldn't tell if he was suspicious I had a secret boyfriend or just worried about car trouble. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phoenix is five times the size of Seattle, and I can read a map. Don't worry about it. Do you want me to come with you? I tried to be crafty as I hid my horror. That's all right, Dad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll probably just be in dressing rooms all day. Very boring. Oh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thought of sitting in women's clothing stores for any period of time immediately put him off. Thanks, I smiled at him. Will you be back in time for the dance? Grr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only in a town this small would a father know when the high school dances were. No, I don't dance dad. He of all people should understand that. I didn't get my balance problems from my mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting out of the cab, I fumbled with my key and it fell into a puddle at my feet. As I bent to get it, a white hand flashed out and grabbed it before I could. I jerked upright. Edward Cullen was right next to me, leaning casually against my truck. How do you do that? I asked in amazed irritation. Do what? He held my key out as he spoke. As I reached for it, he dropped it into my palm. A peer out of thin air?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His voice was quiet as usual, velvet, muted. I scowled at his perfect face. His eyes were light again today, a deep golden honey color. Then I had to look down to reassemble my now tangled thoughts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I asked Wemmick if he could advise me on how to help a friend start up in business, his post box mouth opened wide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's better than investing money for a friend. That's my official opinion, of course. Ah. So you would give me a different opinion at Woolworth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll be welcome there, Mr Pip, on Private Business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The times when we could completely rely on others are, to an extent, over. I've experienced this in the last few days and that's why we Europeans must really take our fate into our own hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard some rumor that Captain Thorndyke is visiting our country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure I don't know your excellency. Have you called his club? I wish to telegraph my friends in Berlin to see that he's taken care of properly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We cannot, of course, neglect any member of your lordship's family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's extremely gracious of your excellency, but I'm sure you're mistaken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man is a fool, but absolutely honest. If you stop or I'll tackle...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here, I'm quiet, like, I'm not quiet, I'm never quiet. But like, yeah, I'm calm for me. Like my body goes into like prep show, like, and so then my body's ready to fire out of the body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's five days a week though, in fairness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First day of school. First day of school. And that's the ball. I think there's also gotta be some sort of handicap or like, cause you made NFL money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a guess. I'll say yeaah, I buy it. I don't buy this report from one of our local radio guys yesterday. He said, Oh, I've heard it's going to be a four to six games, but you haven't heard anything. Nobody's heard anything. Here's the thing, Jay, we talked about this a little while you were gone, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That this is so different than any other time a player has been suspended by the NFL. Because every other time a player has been suspended, it was Roger Goodell essentially picking the suspension, right? Or somebody in the NFL front-off. Uncharted waters, really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The suspensions, to me, were based on as much, if not more, about emotion, or PR, than it was about fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in this case it's so different. Now obviously we know that the league has the right to overrule Judge Robinson, but I think that they're going to look very bad if they do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is clearly treating, we would always say in the past, well, they don't have to prove it, it's not a court of law. Right. But it, I don't know if technically it's a court of law, but it feels like this is being treated by a court of law. I think she's operating it this way. She's operating exactly that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, exactly. This is different. And that's why, you know, like, I mean, again, we don't know what it's going to be, but I feel like, and G said this the other day, and I agree completely, whatever her ruling is, I think everybody's got to be good with it. You know, whatever. I don't know what it's going to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not. And that's why the league's gonna look so bad if they overrule. Because in the past, when the league ruled and then there was appeal, it was like, well, the league just kind of randomly came up with a number. It was emotional. In this case, outside of Deshaun Watson and these women and maybe their lawyers,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This judge, this woman knows more about this case than anybody. She has thoroughly gotten into every aspect. So if she's taking this this seriously and ruling whatever she rules, whether it's zero games or two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How does the league overstep that when this process has been so thorough on her? Almost to say we know


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, again, uh, I've been saying 8 all along now because I hit no. I just feel like that's the number that both sides can live with. Doesn't that seem like the middle ground? Yes. And that doesn't, and ultimately Judge Robinson may not care about that. We can be way off, it might be zero, it might be two years, we have no idea. But that feels like the number to me that everybody can live with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, a couple of years ago, not to go too far, I feel, but like, I remember Matt Damon,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got the mob after him when he, during the height of Me Too. Yeaah. He made a statement, he said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people went crazy, and I'm thinking, okay, we all know it's not okay to just touch somebody's butt. However, there's a huge difference between touching somebody's butt and a rape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tells you once again that it should take, it might take even longer than the start training camp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] August 6th. Six games. I'm finally changing off the eight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beyond behind the scenes stuff, once you traded for Deshaun Watson, it was pretty obvious they didn't believe in you or want you. So I don't blame him for saying that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's crazy? I'm saying this to the guys before the show. Like, Archie, I grew up in New York City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got kicked out, uh, which was ridiculous. He goes, starts the Bengals, of course, as you know, and he became a Bengals fan. So I grew up a Bengals fan. In New York City, in the 70s and 80s,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody paid attention to college football. We didn't, we, we watched college basketball and then baseball and football. College football was off the radar for a kid in New York City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's the, Jay, the all-time leading rusher at Ohio State. You think about all the great running backs that Ohio State has had, and Archie Griffin to this day, all these years later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's still the all-time leading rusher with almost 5,600 yards. That is a lot of running. Archie, what does it mean to you to still, after all these years, with all the great backs that have come through out of fate, to still be number one on that list?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think J.K. Dobbins is going to have a big year for the Ravens this year after coming back from that injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] you know, Jackie Robinson or baseball. It's not talk football, certainly in co Davis was the first black a Heisman trophy. Uh, was o before you did. I believe


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, was that, when you were, when you were, you know, at Ohio State, was that something that you thought about at all? Because it, you know, obviously years of racism and all that awfulness affected the voting for, for a long time. Was it still, I mean, obviously you won, but do you think it was still a factor, especially, you know, from some of the voters down south?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of Archie and his playing days at Ohio State. Give us one sec. Yep. Once you have it because every time we talk to a, to a player who played a long time ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you have liked to play with the shoulder pads they have now, or did you appreciate having all that experience?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Leroy, you know, when we first brought Archie on, he talked about like, when he was coming up, kind of, you know, Ernie Davis, he admired Ernie Davis, you know, he followed his game. When you were coming up, obviously your generation or so later, was, was, was he,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guy you idolized was Archie, a guy, even though he went to Ohio State, we see a guy like, wow, two eyes. That as a kid, that had to blow you away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not every three yard carry is the same, right? If I got, if I got a fourth and one,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A three yard carry is a great carry. If I got a, if I, if I got a third and ten, a three yard carry, even a five yard carry, you did nothing for me. So it's not all three and equal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's why to me, even though Derrick Henry and now Jonathan Taylor get more hype than even McCaffrey when he's healthy, why I will take Nick Chubb running the ball over any back, because who's the best quarterback?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And who's the best yard, to me this is a big one. Yards after contact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It took them a long time to get over the hump. It did as a team. Okay, fair. But here's the bottom line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every year of his career. Even in Washington, when he was like 40, he averaged over 20, 25 and 5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a much more, it was way more physical. Scoring the ball the way he scores was a much more difficult game. Look at the Pistons against the Bulls. Look at the Celtics against the Lakers. They were beaten, even later, the Knicks against the Heat. They were built for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Agreed. I'm not saying he wouldn't have been good, but it wouldn't have been as easy for him to score. It was more challenging for Michael to score in those days. He was getting the crap beat out of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, on next week's show, Tyvis is going to try to convince you that Christian McCaffrey was better than Jim Brown. I would never do that. That's a lie. I would never do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, go look at, uh, Barry Sanders last year in college, his statistics. It looks like quarterback throwing numbers. Is it still the record for a single season?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we are less than 500 subscribers away from 10,000. We've gotta get to that number. Is that true? Yes. Less than 500 away from 10,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chilly. 10,000. We dump chili on Anthony's head. So get us there. If you haven't subscribed to the show yet, please make sure you do it. Get all kinds of great content from this show and our podcast as well. So there you go. 10,000. That's a milestone. We're really going to jump dump chili. I don't want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, I have to answer this call, so wait a minute. Excuse me, can you guys call me back in 10 minutes, please? Thank you. Thank you. I had to take that call. Who was that? It was my wife's doctor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the thing, I, uh, I'm a bit of a germaphobe, and whenever I go into a public restroom,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I go to a public bathroom and I see one of those air hand blowers,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get agitated. I don't like them. I think they're gross. I've always assumed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they don't really clean your hands and you get germs. Well they're not supposed to clean them, they're supposed to dry them. Right, but they put this nasty stuff in there and it always grossed me out. It always grossed me out, right? Okay. But, then again, it's like we're destroying the environment with all the plastic and all the stuff we're doing and the paper towels are wasteful. So I'm kind of torn, but I'm always, I have to admit, I always use paper towels. Do we have the video or no?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, here we go. So this was a report, somebody, I don't know who the hell put this up, but uh, I don't know if it's legit, but this guy did some experiments here where they tested


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, just washing your hands and then shaking them dry, and they went to a bunch of different restrooms, put this thing under the dryer or in the dryer, and then they tested them, they did a test for bacteria, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three days later, here we go. The one that just was dry, nothing. There's no bacteria. You didn't put your hands in those, in those machines. Right. But how about the ones where the, where the hands of the machine, look at that!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the public restrooms look like that. Some of them weren't quite that bad, but it is awful. So I think the bottom line is here, I am never using one of those blow dryers again. They're gross. I'm getting other people's hands that they wipe their butt with from taking a poop. It's disgusting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the unwritten rules in Major League Baseball are absurd. They're professionals. In Little League, there was a game we were up like 15 runs. Like the kids steal all the time because you can't throw anybody out. When we were up big, I said no stealing. We're not stealing anymore. Because it's kids and you don't want to humiliate other kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. No hitter. You can't bunt the end of no hitter. No bunting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gives them a chance to win a Super Bowl. Yes, in theory, if they knew he was gonna be suspended for a year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe you could have gotten a little less, but four or five years from now, if once he gets on the field, whether it's week five, week nine, week seven, or not till next year, if he plays great here, if they go deep in the playoffs here, if they win the Super Bowl here, you could have given up 15 first round picks. It's irrelevant. Here's the bottom line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have the Rams been fiscally responsible? Hold on, hold on. Who? The Rams. We're gonna let him get his money off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, maybe Hawkinson will end up being better. We'll see. But if you look at the others receiving votes, he finished 14th, which is middle of the pack, right? That's right in the middle. That's what he's been. He's got the second best contract ever. Well, if they're going to pay him what they're paying him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He better be a lot better than the 14th best tight end in the NFL. Now I think, you know, having Deshaun, if he has Deshaun Watson, that's gonna help him. But his, his individual game needs to improve. He hasn't played well enough. In my opinion, he wasn't worthy of that contract. We'll see if he becomes worthy of it over the next couple of years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm not a, if I'm not a capologist, if they, if they don't think it's gonna negatively affect them, then okay, I, I don't see how that's possible, but okay, I'm not the capologist. Brad, do you like that? I thought it was unnecessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] David Adjoku is, in my opinion, an average tight end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's getting paid like an excellent tight end. Okay? If, if, it's a big if, I'm not convinced it's gonna happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if, yes, an elite tight end, I don't think he's ever going to be an elite tight end and be worthy of that contract. However, if he becomes a good tight end where he's in that five to eight range, and then he, at that point, he becomes only slightly overpaid and you can live with it. That's an if though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The odds to me that he'll blow up to the level where his contract becomes a good contract are very slim, my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had said that he could play in the preseason. No, not if he's suspended for the whole year. No, indefinitely. I thought for a year he could play in the preseason. Right, but if it's indefinite, there'll be a time where he can possibly be reinstated, and if that's after the year that we knew he was already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But no, I'm not arguing that. I think it's cool that he played. I'm just saying I was surprised because he hasn't done it in a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grid, grid, grid. Grid iron, guys. There you go, that's the way to execute. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's not prove it otherwise. I don't think you could win with an average or worst quarterback anymore. You have to have a, I think you gotta have a top 10 quarterback to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimately guys, and ultimately Aditi, if, if it's true, now the report was, as you said Aditi earlier, that there was no force, no coercion, and no violence. Now we don't know that there was no evidence of those things. That was the report.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's true that there's no evidence of force, no evidence of coercion, and no evidence of violence, what's he being punished for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in the end, it doesn't matter because he gives them a better chance to win a Super Bowl over the next five years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But ultimately if they win down the line, it's not a bad deal. You can't judge the deal now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you have no problem with the deal if it wasn't for the baggage. Zero problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, fine, but in the end, the Browns had to get better at the position. They weren't good enough at the position, they had to get better, and at the moment, this was the only way to get significantly better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does anybody in Cleveland still love Art Modell because he was bringing black players to Cleveland when other teams wouldn't, which was a great thing? They only care that he took the team out of Cleveland. They hate his guts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Agreed. So this idea that we care about their morals when nobody, when, well not nobody, but there's a guy who's committed a crime or done something probably on every TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, I'll tell you something. I think the bottom line from where this conversation started is, I think, and I'm, as all of you know, I'm not a patient person. I don't like to wait, but the truth is, we're not going to know

[Assistant] Yeah, I had, well I was the same one I was gonna talk about, uh, to tomorrow because I gotta get to something else I was gonna get to and that's my weekend. I had an amazing weekend, uh, and I just wanted to share some of the things I did this weekend. Number one, I went back to Jay's Neck of the Woods to go to the Sleepy Rooster again for breakfast. Oh, you went back!

[Assistant] My wife Liz, I won't say how old she is. She's 29 today. She doesn't really care. I could say her age she wouldn't care, but I won't say it anyway. Happy birthday, I love you, and I'll see you for dinner in a little while.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just out of an army hospital with a piece of steel in my head and no memory to go with it. I'm here to find out about myself and I'm getting answers the hard way. I don't know you, Vince Alexander.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was even something the boys at the hospital used to rib me about. They had me fixed up with a wife and four or five kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nina, I don't frighten easily. You can take that message back to Vince. Tell him I'm staying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started to leave, but I kept thinking about everything you told me. If I'd have left, I'd have been all the things you said I was. So I'm staying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm taking you out of here. Nina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're in an awful rut. Always asking questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With my fingerprints all over the gun and all over William's car, I wouldn't last long enough to walk to the nearest police station. If I did, what could I tell them? Now out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would make Vince very happy. Something I wouldn't want to let happen. Is there any place we could go? Someone you could trust to put us up for the night? I need time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get rid of anybody who comes to the door. I'll be right behind you in case you give the wrong answers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That report to the police. It'll wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, I'm leaving you for a little while. I've got an idea. It might work. Something very important. You knew all about me, the people I used to know, the places I went. Think for me, go back five years. Who was there? Just one person. Give me the answers quick. What you say is my only chance, the only chance I've got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They knew where I could find what I was looking for, but they wouldn't talk. They were scared.

[Assistant] Open the door, Petey. You're dead if you don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any objections to my moving in with you? I'll be gone tomorrow, next day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No deal, Vince. I know you killed Joe Williams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would mean it. You didn't waste much time picking up with the cops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why should it worry you about me talking to Williams? You've got me confused, Eddie. Only a sucker would walk back in town after the deal you pulled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been saving this for five years. Everyone in life has his Bible. This is mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I changed my mind. I want him to stay. I want you to make sure that he does stay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eddie dropped you. Who picked you up and gave you help? Who gave you a job? Everything you got. Vince Alexander.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know Williams, I'm not used to cops with insomnia. What's on your mind?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got to keep the camp clean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't treat gun wounds. She'll have to go to the police emergency hospital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, I've got to report this to the police. Doctor?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put that gun away. I said I was going to call the police. Police headquarters? This is Dr. Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street. Send an ambulance and a squad car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 19th century which are willing to learn local language, uh, local culture, integrate into a local culture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There appeared off our western shore a big ship. No one knew whence it had come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have been in the position of a superior and a master from my birth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those of you who disobey me may quickly return to your provinces, repair your castles and prepare for arms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am a Japanese and Jesuit brother. I have not committed any crime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guarantee and affirm that there is no other way to salvation except by the Christian path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To take my mind off my woes, I went to the Yoshiwara.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we enter the Shrine Precinct, a couple of sharp-looking characters sauntered at us, having a tune.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without warning, my body is spat in the face of one of the men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Orders were issued to the great clans to keep strict watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Americans do not understand the ethics of humanity and justice. There will be no choice but to start trade with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of say 100 rupees and they are taking


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, I go to the bank, I take a loan, and the bank tells me, look, I'll give you 100 rupees, but you had to build your house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to this, this and this, and you have to buy all the bricks from me. You have to take my people and, uh, use them as masons and whatever. That's what is happening. And then they charge us 12% interest on top of that as well. So it's not really equitable business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are not giving anything to us simply because, as I said before, because they just want to help Sri Lanka. No, there is obviously commercial plus political interest in there. So what, the problem is what do we do? We need the cash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A samurai warrior carried two swords on his hip, a long one and a short one. The short sword was for cutting open his abdomen. Why would a samurai cut open his abdomen? Well, Japanese, especially samurai, believed that the heart was in the belly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They believe that whether their heart was pure or impure would be revealed when they disemboweled themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone was watching to see how the great Ieyasu would ride his horse over this dangerous bridge. To his men's surprise, Ieyasu dismounted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Took the horse's reins in his hands and carefully led the horse over the bridge to the other side of the river. That's how vigilant he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a story about a low ranking samurai who has to meet with him. He also listened attentively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lords and vassals, superiors and inferiors, must observe what is proper within their position in life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without authorization, no retainer may wear fine white damask, white wadded silk garments, purple silk kimonos, purple silk linings, and kimono sleeves which bear no family crest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told his children and grandchildren who were gathered around,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you are my descendants, you will become shogun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As shogun, it is important that you rule the country for the benefit of the people, or you will be punished by heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wives and daughters must make meals three times a day, put on red headbands, and take the meals to the fields.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sisters-in-law and female cousins must put the chap feet of the man on the stomach of his wife and massage them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even more, if the King of Portugal, or even the God of the Christians were to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would all pay the very same penalty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And daring with their squinting eyes and limping feet to override the noble nations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should build warships. Then if barbarians come to our sea, we should shoot every single one of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the barbarians had retired, a certain person drew his sword.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, if we don't drive them away now, the other foreign powers will follow. We are in a dangerous situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sword was a symbol of the samurai class. Only the samurai were authorized to carry two swords, a large one and a small one. The samurai, with these two swords, ruled over the farmer and the merchant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, without any more talk, let's dive right into the review of him. So, as you can see, just your typical Cars 3 red and black packaging. I don't know if you guys have seen the new 2018 packaging yet, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's pretty awesome and we get the image like in our image of the car on the package, which is how it always used to be until cars three. So I'm glad that they brought it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you haven't seen it, I recommend that you try and find it because there's a lot of cool stuff coming out for the year. And instead of saying cars 3, it just says cars and there's like a background of the desert, it kind of seems like. I'm not entirely sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know I just rambled on about nonsense and just complete randomness, but I had to say that just because it's a lot of exciting stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So anyway, this is one of the cards that comes with a bonus collector card, so always exciting. If you guys haven't seen my review of Ed Trunken, you should check it out, link in the description below, because he came with a bonus collector card as well, and they're really awesome quality, so we'll take a look at that when I get him out of the package.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's the big race. There is a choking hazard because say you break off that antenna there and then you choke on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, you can't summa tell because they put a warning hazard thing there. Anyway, the description reads, blindsided by a new generation of piston-cut racers, Lightning McQueen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right there. Finds himself suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves to get back on top. He will need the help of a young race technician. Cruz Ramirez right here. Inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet and guidance from a few old friends along the way. And some of these other cars here on the back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are really awesome, actually all of them are really awesome, and all of them I do not have, which is so sad. Rusty's Cruz Ramirez of course, Luis Nash, H.J. Hollis, Chris.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, these are all really awesome. I think my favorite would probably be Rusty's Crews just because of how iconic she was in the movie. Then maybe Louise Nash and Terry Cargas. Those are some nice ones as well. Now, I believe Pat here is in 2017 Cars 3 Singles Case K and maybe another case as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to memorize them all, so I'll just put the information in the description below. Like the main case, he might be in another one, but it really doesn't matter. I mean, just go to the stories and try to find what you can find. The caseloads really are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. So, I'll be right back with this awesome diecast opened up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? We're just gonna move on, talk about his appearance. Yeaah, let's just go with that. So obviously, when they wanted to show him for any


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course, you know, pace cars are meant to pace the race. So when there's a problem like that, or at the beginning of the race, they just kind of drive around a nice, not so fast speed, a slow speed,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, you know, the pace car will pull off and then they'll all go. But sometimes they need to be held back for something like that. And obviously there was that huge thing with the car's one pace car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cannot forget the stand. It's kind of like in the bottom divot of the blister, so don't throw it out. It's a very sturdy nice plastic gray stand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a whole Florida 500 one. Like I said, you have the pissing cup on either side there in white with a blue background. That's inverted so you have a white background.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you have the very simplistic, modern, next-gen, kind of like concept art almost, of the stadium. Like it barely looks like it because it's so simple, but you know it is the stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And those were like two bucks more, so amazing deal here, like I'm very impressed with Mattel. As I said in my review of Ed Trunken with his mood spring sign here. Same deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do prefer the mood spring sign though, just because, you know, I like mood springs, although this one seems to be a little bit more slippery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh there we go, I thought it was slipping out, but I'm sure it would kind of like wear down over time and wouldn't be as tight, but that's okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, let's move on to Pat now. Of course he does have kind of just like a stoical expression because you know he's doing his job not much to be happy or sad about even though I guess I'd be happy if I'm the pace car because that's pretty awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the, like, eyelashes there are a little bit more defiant, it kinda looks like a female character, but I don't think we have any confirmation, although I do think it is a guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got these two little lights I guess down here near the bumper, black grill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course I love this like, almost like an emergency piston cup logo with the red shield in the background and the golden piston cup. So it really draws attention that he's like an official.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As it says right there. So on the side here you have like all white and you have like part of a checkered flag there. I like the red and blue colors. Kinda makes them a little patriotic and goes along with the Florida 500 color scheme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like this Piston Cub logo here as well with like the new updated Piston Cub logo that you see on, that's a bad example because it's grayed out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bonelining McQueen here, like that is the logo that they use nowadays, and that's kind of like what they use here on Pat. Although it's a little bit more enlarged, I guess you can say. Official pace card there in white on the red background. You got some cautionary lights. White side view mirrors. Now this is a nice little


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plastic light bar here that's kinda transparent there. Two black things holding it to the roof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moving to the back here, you have official pace car in that light gray color and this really awesome antenna. They never usually used to do like antennas on cars just because they're so breakable but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now they are doing it. It's like a rubbery plastic, but definitely be careful because I'm sure it would break off pretty easily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, back here you have official pace car again, taillights, the Piston Cup logo that we saw right there, a little adjusted, the Piston Cup is angled the opposite way, and then you have the Danaco logo there because Danaco is a sponsor of the Piston Cup, so of course, he has to kind of be the advertisement of that. Is that a chip I see right there? That is a chip I see right there, that's kind of sad, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever, I don't really care that much. Now I really do like his license plate, so of course on the top there it says official, and below it says pace car, so that's old news. And then we got the revelation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm fast. So I really like that you just have I and then M without the apostrophe spaced out there and then fast. So that's pretty awesome. It's kind of just funny for the person or the car who'd be like right behind him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he sees that, I just think that's pretty funny. It's just kinda comical there, because, you know, Pat's not a race car, but he's still fast, you know? They do have to go pretty fast. The pace car is due to, you know, keep ahead of all the racers, even though they're supposed to be holding them back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the base here, you just have your usual information. Alrighty, so that's it for Pat himself. I did not know about that license plate until just now, so that definitely scores him some points in my book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's move on to comparisons. So he's pretty much based on the raw torque redline model from cars 2. You can see that they both have like those intakes on the hood there that are raised up. So that's pretty much the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do think Pat is a little bit thinner though, which would make him an entirely new mold, but like, yea, I think he's a little bit thinner, but all in all though, they're like the same model, just maybe a little bit like resized. You have those two lights there on the bumper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Side view mirrors are different. Rods are just so big and obnoxious. I'm glad that they're not like that on Pat. Tail lights are similar. You both have that dot right there. License plate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's see if he's the same, well probably not, since I know these guys here are definitely the Rod Torque Redline model, just a little bit raised up because of the bigger tires.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As rod, except for like, you know, the holes where they needed to put in the light bars and stuff. And they have a lot of stuff going on here, like check out all these light bars. They have three antennas each. Pat only has one. And they are the same, like they're both black, although, or they're all black. And Pat's just a little bit taller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Pat is a new mold, so that's good to see. I always like new molds, even though they are, you know, they could be similar to previous ones. Like Pat is definitely similar to all these ones here, but still a new mold, so that's cool for sure. Let me know in the comment section below, out of all of these here, these four, which one is your favorite?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just love all the accessories and details on him, but Pat is pretty cool as well. Now the bigger question that I need to ask you is, what's your favorite pace car? Charlie Checker or Pat Traxin?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? I have to go classic Charlie Checker. He's been with me for my entire life, so I have to go with Charlie. See? See? I like it. And you know, I'm sorry Pat, but maybe you'll grow on me in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10 more years, maybe you'll be my favorite then. But we'll just do a quick comparison here, both do have the light bars except Pat's is transparent, clear, and then his Charlie's is like yellow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can just kind of see how like the times have changed and how the pissing cup now, you know, brands there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cars, they're pace cars to make them look more modern and thin with the next gens. Instead of having like a boring circular piston cup logo that may have been nice to look at in 2006. Now it's just a lot more fancy with the stripes and everything and the updated three dimensional piston cup logo. But they both get the job done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like just entire collection reviews or videos, like all the Lightning McQueens or whatever. Because I feel like that is what people want to see nowadays. Reviews, I don't know, I just feel like reviews aren't as popular as they used to be, even though I love doing reviews. I know you guys like them, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Angie. Martha, thought it'd be a swell idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't you make her think she's a help to you like she was at the beginning? Let her do something on her own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why give her anything at all? Why don't you just throw her out and be done with it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, don't mind Steve, he'll get over it. There's nothing like the light touch, is there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know what Angie's doing right now? She's locked herself alone in a hotel room, fighting for her life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then they would go to work on the grounds of the Lord's estate. This they would do once every four or five days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These samurai would work only in the morning and then go home for lunch. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, they would go out on the town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to get into a game day mentality before you can bounce back from an illness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not this one, no, I have, I have several that it is on the back of, but not this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right, Brad. The point that struck me the most about this is he's influencing the judge. Yes. And, and by the way, he's the judge's boss. That's his best friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He clearly weighed in yesterday on what he thinks his employees should do to make his boss happy. Guys, this is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the most bizarre kangaroo court setup I've ever seen. Because first you had the dog and pony show with the real judge, Sue L. Robinson, who has 25 years experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, that's all circumvented because in a garbage agreement between the NFL and the NFLPA, one of the two parties can decide


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In, in a situation where he's gonna be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimately, he's the arbiter here. I mean, let's face it. He's, he's named Peter C. Harvey as the guy that's gonna break the tie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know which way Goodell is leaning now, as if we didn't before. But yesterday was big because it was the first time he's really weighed in publicly with his thoughts on Sue Robinson's decision. So guys, on one hand, when you read Sue L. Robinson's decision,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no getting around the fact that she absolutely believed that there was clear evidence that he was guilty on all three counts against him in defaming the league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's also clear that she wanted to do more, but she felt that her hands were tied because of the guardrails and the limitations that the league itself imposed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, what's extremely bizarre to me is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On one hand, you know what the evidence is. On the other hand, you know that the judge is limited by the guidelines that the NFL has instituted. And now they're ready to take the eraser to all of that, change the rules in the middle of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't think there's, I think it's by design that they're making the Browns wait. And why would I say that? Because I think at this point, the league is about punishing the Browns, not just to Sean Watson. I think it's also about punishing the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they're not happy with the way the contract was structured. So they're gonna make everybody sit around and wait. And so much for expedited justice. I mean, it's becoming a joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, don't get it mistaken here that the NFL, more than anything else, they're great at everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what they're really best at is marketing and public relations. They've had some really strong scandal over the last couple of years. They always seem to spin out of it. It's because they have some of the best PR people, not just in sports, but really in the entire world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That are fronting their organization. A couple of things that I'd like to quickly address. You talked about the news cycle. Uhm, as it pertains to television, and this is something that I didn't like when I worked at ESPN. I like it even less now that I'm on the outside because I know how it works on the inside. ESPN and the NFL network


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are all business partners, guys. They're all business partners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in the early 2000s when the NFL was furious with ESPN over a dramatic series called Playmakers that was really quite successful, with a phone call to ESPN,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got the show cancelled, guys. They shut it down. And they shut it down because they didn't like the perception of what ESPN was putting out there for professional football. Even though it was a mythical league, it wasn't the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They didn't like the perception that viewers might confuse this with the NFL and you're our business partner and you're hurting our entire business model with this, so shut it down and it got shut down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just one example. Another example that stands out to me, ESPN was working with NPR on a massive research project on CTE and they were getting ready to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NFL didn't like that. The NFL didn't like one of their business partners, ESPN.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Putting together a product that was gonna show the NFL in a negative light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you wield that kind of power, and make no mistake, the NFL is the most powerful entity in United States sports. Worldwide, soccer, there are some soccer bodies and federations that probably have a little bit more power internationally than


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NFL, but the NFL is a juggernaut when it comes to power and wielding that power for its benefit in the United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is bizarre to me that they continue to operate with this almost


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mob mentality. We don't like you. We will squash you. We will shut you down. And if you look at their track record on these cases that have gone to federal court, the NFL is undefeated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NFL just found a court that they liked, they appealed the verdict, and they won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they, they won, they've won all of these cases where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Discipline has been appealed at the federal level. Uhm, Zeke Elliott, of course, I'm not sure if Ben Roethlisberger went to a federal level on the appeal, but if you go back and you start researching how the NFL does once these cases go to federal court, you're going to find out they're undefeated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are massive in scope and they are ruthless the way they wield their power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you have to look at the track record of what's going on here and you have to understand that they're going to get their way because that's what the NFL does. By hook, by crook, no matter what. The game is rigged. We know the game is rigged when you look at the NFL PA and the NFL agreement. How they ever agreed to letting


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the parties involved in the dispute ultimately decide and appeal on that dispute. That is buffoonery. And I don't know how DeMorey Smith


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] is going to survive this. I really don't because Brad, you've talked at length on the program since we started that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the course of the last two decades, the NBA has gone from a league where the players had almost no power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NFL is the predominant sport in the United States. So why is it their players have the least amount of power amongst all of the professional sports? Their contracts aren't guaranteed. And when one of them is guaranteed, somehow the media


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leroy, can I give you a hypothetical and see if this is perhaps how this goes down? Because I don't know. I've never been in any of these negotiating sessions. I have a feeling I understand how they work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the league picks its key issues. And the negotiation is a give and take. And what I've seen in the history of the NFLPA, and please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm speaking out of turn, I don't know, I've followed the negotiations over the years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it seems to me that the Players Association is always too quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To give on key issues as long as it means they're getting more money. And sometimes in a negotiation, there's more than just the money that comes into play with all of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I feel like, I think it was, I think it was Brad or G Bush made the point, Hey man, we're going to get 90,000. No, no, I'm sorry. It was, it was Tyvis. We're going to get 90,000 added onto our contract at least because they're going to add that 17th game. And that, that quelled a lot of the players were like, Oh cool. We'll take that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the league held tightly to what was important to it. And that's ultimate control. And I think that at some point for this to change, the players association is gonna have to be led by someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who I believe truly has its best interests in mind. Let me ask you a question. Was Gene, who was the union head when you, when you played? Gene Upshaw. Okay. Did you ever feel as a player that something ain't right with Gene in the league?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That might not necessarily be in the best interest of the players association, but it might have been serving the bigger purpose of harmony and unity. Did that ever exist?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leroy, the problem with that is, I'm sure you remember this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all got together and here's what they said. Why should we get one 660th, however many players there are in the NFL, why should we get a sliver of the licensing pie when there's really 32 guys that are moving this machine?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they, they carved out their own little gimmick. These guys are inherently selfish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, forget the betterment of all of our players. They were off there on the side, getting their own little gimmick going on. And I don't even, does that still, does that still happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just nailed it though, Brad. You just nailed it. The reason that your league has taken leaps and bounds because they were way behind everybody 30 years ago. The reason they've leaped past the NFL and leaped over the Major League Baseball is because it's superstars


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Realized that they were getting theirs. They had more than they'd ever use. But they, they took on a less selfish approach. And the Jordans, and the Magics, and the Birds, and all of the superstars,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got together and they said, we've gotta, we've gotta take this game into an area where the players have more of their, of, of control over their careers. Where in the NFL, that, that hasn't happened. It's almost like everybody is just grabbing their own piece of the pie, running back to their crib, and they're fighting with that.

[Assistant] If anybody should be leery of the way the league dispenses justice, it should be Tom Brady. He went through this with Deflategate. Remember, guys, I think everybody forgets what a big deal that was. The dude let out some air in the footballs for crying out loud. And if you compare his stats in the first half to the second half,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the change was made, he was actually better when he was using the balls that were legal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the league made this huge deal out of it. Oh my god, the Patriots are cheating, the air and the football is off by 3 PSI. And most guys, when they feel it, couldn't even tell the difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you think that he would get out in front of this train and say, yeah, man, this whole sham of dispensing justice is a joke. We need to change that. Nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I'm in game day, but I'm telling myself I am going to pitch a game for the St. Paul Saints tonight. You know, that's that's one of my minor league teams. What's your plan? I'm trying to will my yeah, you up out of here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10 minutes and I'll probably have a 911 call after shortly after I do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When everybody was talking about what the penalty would be, I let you guys know what my biggest fear was. And my biggest fear was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is the problem I have. This whole situation has gotten so far away from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the penalty should be for Deshaun Watson and what did Deshaun Watson do to now it's let's make us look good. And look, I do believe that he's culpable in some, in, in, in this situation. I do believe that he should have been more careful and he is a person that is supposed to lead a team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can't be in these situations. All that I agree with. Okay. But.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For this to now go back to Roger Goodell. It's not about the penalty. You had a damn judge. Somebody who does this for a living.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody who read all the evidence, who's been reading evidence for 20, 30 years. Determine what the penalty should be. And it wasn't good enough. Now, I don't know how we ended up here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I heard you guys talking about the power that the NFL has over the players. And part of the reason is this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of baseball, basketball, and football. Football has the shortest lifespan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the guys that might be fighting that fight in three or four years might not even be in the league. So that's a problem. When you talk about basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how long my career lasts, I gotta get it when I can get it. And then you have this other side saying, I gotta do something to make our situation better. And you fight with this because if you get to a point where you fighting for what's going to make


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The player's association better and the player's situation better, you gon' have another job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so that's hard. That's why I'm never going to tell a player that plays football what he should do or how he should handle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The situation, but when you do this over and over and over again, and the CBA comes up and it comes over and you're still going to have the same situation because that's just the way the league is. And, and, and so, you know, I understand that the NFL feels that Deshaun Watson should be punished more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell, Deshaun Watson thinks he should be punished less. Doesn't that make it a good deal? Neither party's happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, why do we have to go through all our resources until you get what you want? You should have just led with that and stopped all the charades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I hope, you know, and to Jay's point, here's why no federal judge is going to do anything. Cause we have something called the CBA. They ain't going to touch that. They're not going to overturn anything in that CBA because it was collectively bargained. And so as a judge,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are playing with fire if you go in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And say, I'm not going to abide by the collective bargain agreement that you guys have. That being said, that takes us to another situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you knew, at any point in time, it could be back into the hands of Roger Goodell. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like when you go buy a car or something like that and they charge you for something and they say, it ain't gonna never happen, but we gonna put this in the contract just in case. Right? It always happens.
