[Assistant] Inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet and guidance from a few old friends along the way. So I believe this guy is in case L? Maybe? I've really lost track of all the case letters just simply because there are so many nowadays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But fortunately most of them do contain a lot of new cars, like this one here contains like all these. So that's pretty awesome because they're all new. Unfortunately, like I said, I don't have them yet because I have not found these in a store, although they are showing up across the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think some people have been able to find this case at Target stores in the United States. I personally got it from a friend on Facebook who was willing to sell it to me for a great price, but I will leave his name anonymous because I don't know if he wants to be publicized. So I'll be right back with this awesome car opened up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So of course, Pile Up was a contender at the Thunder Hollow Crazy Demolition Derby, which in my opinion was the most exciting scene of the movie, just because of all the action that was going on and all the different characters and like potential releases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found it really awesome and Mattel has released pretty much every single demolition derby contender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a diecast except for Fair Game, but he is available as a Crazy Crash. I do have him, might do a video on it, might not, but I'm sure they'll make him as a diecast in due time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yeaah, I don't even feel like it's necessary to avoid spoilers anymore because Cars 3 is out on DVD and it's been released in all countries. So if you haven't seen it, I don't know what you're doing watching this video because you're probably a Cars fan and Cars 3 has been out for a while now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, like I said, Pileup appeared at the DD. However, he didn't speak, just kind of a background character like most of the pissing-cut racers. And you actually do see him kind of driving like this, and it makes you think that's his front end, but he actually just has ice paint down there, so it's pretty neat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if I find any pictures of him, I will put them on the screen. Hopefully Disney Screencaps adds Cars 3 to their, like, whole website soon because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really convenient for grabbing screenshots from the movie and just putting them on your video. It really helps out, that's why I did for Cars 1 and Cars 2. And I think they do add it pretty quickly after the DVD release because I saw that Finding Dory was added like November 4th of last year, which is around the time it came out on DVD, so that's pretty awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hopefully the same happens for Cars 3. So yea, as for his releases, only so far as a single. He might be re-released in the future, but we just can't say for certain right now. And by the way, I just wanted to show you guys my fair game because I think he's pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't think many people have actually seen this in, I don't know, anywhere. So I did want to show you guys it. I got it on walmart.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So anyway, now let's dive into the review of him as a diecast. I think it's pretty funny just looking at him like that and how it like slopes up because he was like hit so hard so many times in the back here that this got like pounded up. Like jeez, I don't know what happened. He just got pounded after pound so poor pile up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe he got like piled up on. Really have no idea. But I'm not like a huge fan of this guy because he doesn't have a distinct gimmick. Of course the two face is pretty much his gimmick, but usually like some other demolition derby cars have more prominent ones like being a police car or the Pixar ball or being the patriotic one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But anyway, he has like this nice red paint job of flames in the front here that fade into green, so kind of like Christmas colors. I've heard them being compared to Christmas or Holiday Cruiser Ramones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoever came up with that, very clever, it wasn't me, so I don't know who it was though. But anyway, headlights are knocked out, it's all red there on the front, his mouth is closed, he has these like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are they called? Exhaust pipes? Smoke? Something? I don't know, I remember the name for them, or I used to know the name for them, but I haven't reviewed a demolition derby car in so long that I forgot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, they're called Heathers, I think. Heathers, right? But anyway, he does have an intake right there where the green coloring is a little bit different as well, so that's pretty cool. It is raised off the pink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has a nice matte paint job and even feels rough, which is a nice effect for sure. Of course, black on the top of the other green on the bottom because he just sloppily painted it. I do like the rims. They're red for the most part with a very


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thin trim of green. I like it. There's a lot of space between the fender, which is even rough itself, and the tires.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like where the stamp like fully encompassed because like this area here is slightly a different shade of green. You can see how like the red stops there at perfect line. So maybe it was a stamp, but definitely is neither than some of the numbers we've seen previously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like this area right here in between like all the rest of the roof and the red numbers. So you did not want that to be red, but when he was doing the spray paint, you know, of course you got the numbers right, but then there was like this over splash on the outside of the templates. That's in my opinion what I think he used. I think I'm pretty spot on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do say so myself. So where he's all crunched up here, you can see a bunch of like scratches and dents, which is very realistic because, you know, obviously he got hit and just kinda really beat up. Poor guy, like I said. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he does still have a sense of humor because he painted on a really mean looking expression on his back here. Almost makes it seem like he's like two cars in one, which is super creepy. But anyway, big eyebrows, just really mean looking red eyes there as well, even though he has like a nice kind of stoic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty sweet release and both sides are pretty much the same. Alright, so let's move on to some comparisons. Of course, obviously a unique model, but I do want to compare them to some other, like, coupes from the Demolition Derby-like APB here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's move on to SigAlert, one of my personal favorites. And don't get me wrong, I do like pile-up because of this, like, unique expression in the back, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if there was something else to him, like maybe something apparent on him that would relate to pile up, which maybe that's a pile up, I don't know, I just feel like, I think a pile up, like another car on top of him, so if he was like super flat,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think pile up and he'd be one of my more favorites I guess you could say, but he's definitely


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here you have T-Bone, and sorry for all those broadside fans out there, I just really don't like him. But T-Bone's another awesome one, in my opinion. Another hoop, of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I think before I opened him up, or like before I started the review, I thought he was a pickup truck, but after like further inspection, I was like, yeah, no, he's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I did not really take a close look at him when I initially got him. Here's Bill, of course the Pixar ball guy. He's another one of my favorites from the DD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I do just like his expression and overall design. I missed further, not really a comparison, but you gotta compare or at least show every VD car with...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The queen of demolition, Ms. Frither. Alright guys, thank you so much for watching. Hope you enjoyed this video and feel free to vote. Oh shoot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should take off my shoes, really. But anyway, that was very random. Yeah, feel free to vote on which car you want me to review next, and I'll see you guys next time for another video. I've been trying to do as many videos as I can lately, but as you guys know, school really just hurts me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During like, you know, school just hurts me. I can't do as many videos. And I hope you guys can understand that. So I'll see you guys next time. Bye now!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that you have several practices under your belt and understand more about systems and the paradigm shift we're after here, I want to get into some of the ways parts organize themselves and relate with each other inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've already introduced the primary distinction between exiles and protectors. Let's look a little more into what those parts are like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's start with the exiles. These are often the younger ones that have frequently been called inner children in our culture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we get hurt, they are the delightful, playful, creative, trusting, innocent, and open parts of us that we love to be close to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are also the most sensitive parts, so when someone hurts, betrays, shames, or scares us, they are the parts who take in the extreme beliefs and emotions, or burdens from those events the most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the trauma or attachment injury, the burdens these parts absorb shift them from their fun,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playful states to chronically wounded inner children who are frozen in the past


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And have the ability to overwhelm us and pull us back into those dreadful scenes. They move from feeling, I am loved, to I am worthless and no one loves me. And when they blend with us, that belief becomes our paradigm and we feel all their burdened emotions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels unbearable to re-experience those emotions, and to believe those things, and often those burdens impair our ability to function in the world. I've had clients who, when their exiles took over, couldn't get out of bed for a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is why we try our best to lock these parts away, thinking that we are simply moving on from bad memories, sensations, emotions, not realizing that we are disconnecting from our most precious resources just because they got hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is because we are imbued with the mono-mind paradigm that doesn't allow for the idea of hurt parts that can be healed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to mention our American rugged individualism that says when you get hurt, the best course of action is to pick yourself up and move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Indeed, it's likely that after you were hurt, the people around you gave you some version of that message. Just get over it, for example, or stop being so sensitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For these young parts, that's just adding insult to injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The injury came from the event and then you insult them by abandoning and imprisoning them. As a result, they are often quite desperate to be attended to and will try their best to break out of exile any chance they get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we're tired, when we're not getting the accolades that keep them pacified, or when we're hurt or shamed in a way that's similar to the original event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is such an unnecessary tragedy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These delightful inner children are hurt and then abandoned and we no longer have access to their wonderful qualities. Instead, we assume that it's part of becoming an adult to no longer feel intense joy, awe, and love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even when they are exiled, their burdens can exert an unconscious effect on our self-esteem, our choice of intimate partner, career, and so on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're behind the overreactions that seem mysterious to us and leave us perplexed as to why certain small things hit us so hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's very hard to grow up in the US without accumulating a number of exiles. As a child, you were almost certainly hurt, humiliated, or terrified multiple times by your family or peers, and were then coldly expected to just move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Abuse survivors inevitably have many exiles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In addition to the vulnerable parts of us that get hurt and then exiled, there are other lively and protective parts that don't fit in our families. Or maybe they scare people around us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those become what I call protectors in exile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day we noticed that our parents didn't like certain parts of that ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They said things like, can't you be still, or it isn't nice to try to kill your brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the time my brother and I were 12 in Madison, Minnesota, we were known as the Nice Bly Boys. Our bags were already a mile long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we put a part of ourselves in the bag, it regresses. It de-evolves towards barbarism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suppose a young man seals a bag at 20 and then waits 15 or 20 years before he opens it again. What will he find?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sadly, the sexuality, the wildness, the impulsiveness, the anger, the freedom he put in have all regressed. They are not only primitive in mood, they are hostile to the person who opens the bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These exiles are what Freud famously called the id, and he mistakenly assumed they were merely primitive impulses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I discussed earlier, that negative take just added to Western culture's detrimental view of human nature and was highly influential in psychotherapy's disinterest in getting to know those parts of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once you have a lot of exiles, you feel far more delicate and the world seems more dangerous because there are so many things and people and situations that could trigger them. And when an exile gets triggered,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're terrified because the exiles have become so extreme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll write more on this topic later, but for now, I just want to note that in terms of spiritual preferences, our exile's sense of worthlessness is likely to unconsciously steer us towards spiritualities or gurus that promise redemption or salvation. Similarly, because of their fear and hurt,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We might tend towards forms of worship that are centered around a guru or some notion of an all-powerful god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you have a lot of exiles, other parts of you will have to leave their valuable roles to become protectors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like your adolescent parts are pressed into military or police service.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other parts take another approach and try to take care of everyone else while neglecting ourselves. Others are hyper vigilant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And some are intellectual and are skilled at keeping us out of our bodies. There are many common roles these manager parts take.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What they all have in common is a desire to preempt the triggering of our exiles by controlling, pleasing, or disconnecting us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In family therapy, we call children who take on these adult duties, parentified children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Managers are parentified inner children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are usually very tired and stressed out. They're trying to keep the world safe for our exiles while at the same time keeping our exiles contained. They also have the ability to numb our bodies so we don't feel so much because if you don't feel, then you don't get triggered. Managers are working all the time. Some of them never sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other managers don't want us to feel good about ourselves for fear that we'll take risks and get hurt. They protect us by tearing us apart. They are the self-hating parts of us who will sabotage anything that might make us feel good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They may let us try medication or other spiritual practices, but usually just to reduce stress. Rather, than to commune with the non-dual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the practice helps them contain the exiles, as in a managerial spiritual bypass, they're all for it. Mainly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Managers don't like anything that takes us out of their control, and as I mentioned above, some don't like anything that makes us open our hearts and feel confident or good about ourselves. On the other hand, there are managers who want to belong and to please everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are the parts that make us go regularly to church, for example, but they're not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite how hard our managers work to prevent it, the world has a way of triggering our exiles at times, of breaking through what psychotherapy traditionally calls our defenses. When that happens, it's a big emergency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To many of your protectors, experiencing the pain of your exiles feels like you might die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Consequently, most of us have a set of parts whose job it is to deal with these emergencies. Parts who will immediately go into action to put out that inner fire. The flames of emotion bursting out from the exiled place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In contrast to the managers who try to preempt anything that's going to trigger the exiles,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These firefighter parts are activated after an exile has been triggered and desperately and often impulsively try to douse the flames of emotion. Get us higher than the flames with some substance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or find a way to distract us until the fire burns itself out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Depending on how much you fear your exiles, your firefighters will resort to desperate measures with little regard for the collateral damage to your health or your relationships.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All they know is they have to get you away from those feelings right now or else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes their fears of your death are warranted because suicide is an option for some firefighters if other solutions don't work. I referred to spiritual bypassing in chapter one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many people come to meditation to escape their feelings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I find the use of spiritual practices to transcend one's exiles to be rampant in the communities I treat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your firefighters will get you addicted to the practice, in part because it's a great solution for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You feel good as long as you do it, and unlike other addictions on the menu, no one is upset with you for doing it, including your own managers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, people admire or envy your discipline and see you as holy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unlike managers, firefighters love going into the higher realms and losing control. The further from your pain, the better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In those higher realms, you can access a lot of pure self. Which feels great, even though it doesn't heal anything and can make exiles feel even more abandoned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Firefighters are like babysitters for those younger parts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Babysitters who can't get the kids to stop screaming or giving your system waves of anxiety or shame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For this reason, firefighters are desperate to find someone to make the exiles feel better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And often become recruiters who search for that special person or practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They turn us into seekers who move from one meditation or spiritual leader to another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking for the one that can permanently make those exiles feel better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or if they find one that seems to do the trick, they become zealous advocates and followers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many people come to spiritual traditions with lots of exiles because of the intense trauma in their backgrounds, hoping for relief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, many spiritualities don't know what to do with people's traumas other than to help them, bypass them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For us to live in this culture and not see the suffering of its exiles or feel the outrage of what we are doing to the Earth, we need distractions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feels and acts to change injustice, so to not do any of that we need illegal drugs or prescription medications, constantly available media entertainment, all-consuming jobs, and spiritual bypasses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am not trying to hold myself up as a model of self leadership in this regard. I spend more time watching Netflix in the Boston Celtics than protesting in the streets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exiles, managers, and firefighters, do not describe the essence of your parts. They are simply the roles these parts were forced into by what happened to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Returning to the system's ideas of reinforcing and stabilizing feedback and homeostasis, managers are commonly your system's homeostatic mechanisms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever your behavior or inner experience strays from what they believe is safe for you, they act to bring you back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, if many of your parts carry the burden that the world is very dangerous and it's best to stay invisible,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you start to feel good about yourself, your critic will tear you down out of fear that you'll start taking risks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the critic gets overridden, then another manager kicks in. Maybe you dissociate or fall asleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many would be meditators who feel like failures because they struggle with the practice turn out to be carrying that burden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The variable your managers are containing within a homeostatic range is your self-worth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In other people, it might be anger, sadness, exuberance, or neediness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In still others it's behaviors like spontaneous movement or speech, assertiveness or vulnerability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We all have burdens that are committed to keeping us safe and homeostatic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Firefighters generally seem to be part of reinforcing feedback loops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because their activities often take you far out of your manager's comfortable homeostatic range. Then those managers will do their best to bring you back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Indeed, the reinforcing loop is often between firefighters and managers. The harder,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Managers try to control them, the stronger firefighters become, which can escalate to your death in some cases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet firefighter behavior itself is usually homeostatic in the sense that its original purpose was to squelch or distract from the exiled feelings until they are back within a tolerable range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The triggering of exiles often kicks off reinforcing feedback cycles because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Attempts to stifle them from either managers or firefighters will make them try harder to break out or get your attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When your managers convince you to ignore the exile's first attempt to get your attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The point here is that thinking systemically and tracking inner sequences of parts activities that surround problems allows you to avoid the mistake of, for example,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and your therapist won't overreact if, after you do listen and feel the exiled pain, the next day you feel suicidal or want to go get drunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead, you and your therapist trust that the exile work must have triggered a firefighter you didn't get permission from who is now afraid and is simply acting in a homeostatic way. Again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Traumatized inner systems are delicate ecologies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like with external ecologies, changes in one aspect can have unforeseen consequences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is far less likely however if you think in terms of systems. Then, the consequences often can be foreseen and preempted or dealt with from self.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, this map doesn't just apply to inner systems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has been used effectively to understand and work with families and corporations, and I believe it applies to human systems at any level. Systems of parts and people tend to polarize.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Form protective alliances and exclude or cut off from each other whenever they are traumatized and lack effective leadership.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The exercises in this book are mainly focused on helping you get to know and appreciate your protectors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can be quite a bit trickier to open up to your exiles by yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you do begin to feel overwhelmed with exiled feeling, it's important to shift out of the exercise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In most cases it works to get to know who some of your exiles are, but we're not inviting you to actually get close to them and try to help them. Because most people, including myself, need to have somebody with them to do that. Ideally, an IFS therapist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See the directory on ifsinstitute.com or at least someone who can stay in self while you get emotional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I learned many years ago the importance of respecting protectors and their right to protect the system and to not be pushed out of the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Burdened inner systems are sensitive environments and we need to approach and visit them accordingly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your protectors have spent a lifetime trying to keep you and everyone else away from your exile so they need to be consulted first and convinced that there is a good reason to let you go there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't go to exiles without permission from protectors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I learned this the hard way in the early days of developing IFS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As clients described having parts that were intense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As clients described having parts that were in intense pain or terror, it seemed like those were the ones that needed to heal. So I steered my clients towards them as soon as I could, and when we succeeded in getting there, we were unknowingly bypassing their protectors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we'll see with Mona soon, some clients experienced severe backlash reactions. Suicidal impulses, physical pain or fevers, episodes of self-hate, or distrust of me. As the protectors punished them for our transgression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is why we've learned to be ecologically sensitive guests in our client's ecosystems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's partly why I'm laying this map out now, so that as you continue with the exercises, you can keep in mind where we are and where we're headed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, it's a fairly simple map. Exiles, managers, firefighters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only other category you might find in yourself are the protectors in exile I briefly mentioned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you were raised with parents or in a culture that shamed you for having those parts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Often, you will be very frightened of and have distorted views of these parts until you begin to listen to them and find that they are no different from other protectors. They need your help too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once again, I want to remind you that the categories I describe in this map don't capture the essence of your parts themselves. Instead, they are just the roles your parts were thrust into because of what happened in your childhood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are maintained by the burdens they carry and by where they are frozen in the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When retrieved, unburdened, and released from these roles, these parts become something quite different and always valuable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's often hard to predict what they'll transform into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A manager might just want to lie on the beach, and a firefighter might want to use its energy for something healthy and playful, rather than on getting you drunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was recently asked to offer a consult session for an IFS therapist whose client.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During that prior episode, she'd been hospitalized and put on antipsychotics and diagnosed as having bipolar disorder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had rebuilt her life since then, but she was still medicating for fear of a relapse and wanted to see if IFS could help her understand what happened and gain confidence that it wouldn't come back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With her therapist, Bob, with her on the Zoom call, I ask for Mona to focus on the manic part and find it in her body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She locates it in her chest and sees an image of herself in the psych ward, feeling trapped and desperate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ask how she feels toward that younger woman and she says she feels sorry for her and wants to hold her there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell her to do that, and she does, but suddenly she shifts away from the scene and says she's sleepy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked to talk directly to the part that's taking her away with sleep and ask it why it is afraid to let her stay with the part in the hospital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It says it's afraid that Manic Part will take over again and she'll wind up back where she was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell it that makes sense, but that I know how to keep it from taking over and instead we'll help it not have to be in this manic role.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sleepy dissociative part recedes, and Mona returns to holding the woman in the hospital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly, she sees a giant abyss and is afraid of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked her to get the scared parts into a waiting room and assure her that her therapist and I will be with her if she wants to go into that black hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She now feels curious and wants to enter with us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We enter and she sees a hand reaching out from the dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She takes the hand and we leave the hole and find that the hand is attached to a four-year-old girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mona embraces the girl and spontaneously apologizes to her for throwing her in the hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I talk directly to the protector and ask where it got that idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It says that her parents always stressed how she and her sisters were responsible for what they allowed boys to do to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell the part that it's understandable that it would believe what the parents said and would want to protect them, but that we need to help the four year old unload all her feelings. And we won't automatically believe what she shows about what happened. We'll just heal her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mona suddenly sees the girl naked and outside and she isn't sure how she got there. I tell her to ask the girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She says he did something to her, but she doesn't know what because she left. She dissociated. She went to sleep. Unquote. I say, quote, yeah, that same sleepy dissociating part protected her then the way it's been trying to do today. We need to remember to thank it for saving you. Unquote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell Mona to enter the scene and be with the girl in the way she needed at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She does, and gets the girl in some clothes and brings her out of the scene to the present and helps her unburden the shame and terror she's been carrying since that time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell Mona to bring in the manic woman in the hospital to see that the girl is doing well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We end the session with the homework that Mona is to make a daily practice of checking on these parts every day for at least a month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She says she feels lighter and relieved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, several hours later, I get a panicky call from her therapist saying that Mona is suicidal. He asks me to talk to her again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Readers note here that this is another section of an interview similar to the one last chapter that I had my friend help me with by reading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want to mention explicitly that this one is likely pretty triggering. It deals with suicidal ideation and also with a lot of self-hate. So, just brace yourself if those things are part of your story already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's work with it. Let me talk to it so we can see what it wants us to know. Are you there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you afraid would happen if you didn't kill her or hurt her?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, but tell me why you're so upset with her now. Is it related to the work we did?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, what was that like for you to have her expose that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great. I suspect that when you were 32, she had good reasons to keep you strong and perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that right? And to attack you if you ever did let your guard down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How has it been to talk to me about these feelings you have?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, what you've told me is how dangerous it is for her to expose herself and be vulnerable. And we get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we get that there were times when you really needed to keep her from doing that. How's it feel to hear that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you for sharing all that with me and let me talk to Mona again. Are you there? She nods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's just trying to keep you safe. It doesn't really want to kill you. It doesn't know what else to do but threaten you to get you to behave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let it know you get that and see how it reacts now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And do update it about your life now and how there are people you can trust to be vulnerable with, like Bob.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter how much we check with protectors upfront and seem to get permission from them, it's not uncommon for firefighters like Mona's to backlash afterward. If something like this happens with you, instead of polarizing the part and initiating a reinforcing feedback loop, try getting curious instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my experience, the part just needs to be understood, reassured, and loved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we approach their exiles, I've had many clients say, with anger or shame, some version of the following to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quote, that's great because now we have a direct line to a part we haven't healed yet. Unquote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Needless to say, the perspective that symptoms are the activities of parts has been a tough sell in the psychotherapy field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Mona, we met what I suspect were three firefighters. The sleepy dissociating one, the manic one, and the suicidal one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also encountered one manager the one who blamed her for what happened. How can you tell the difference?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not about the protective activity because virtually any activity can be used by both. For example, let's say I have a client who's a binge drinker. If he ever feels slighted, he goes to a bar and gets drunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drinking has shifted from being a firefighter activity to a manager activity. The same activity is being used by different parts for different purposes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Managers preempt the triggering of exiles and firefighters react after an exile has been triggered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mona's example also brings up the issue of recovered memories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mona saw herself as a naked child who was saying that the teen did something to her. Is that an accurate memory? We can't know for sure without further evidence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 5, Mapping Our Inner Systems of No Bad Parts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Written by Richard C. Schwartz, read by Sen Naomi Kier Schultz. Thanks for reading along with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's cool, but we're working on a warmer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was pretty crazy, we got to the studio and like, he had probably like five different bikes and just like different schemes laid out and shit. He probably made them in like three days or something. Yea, exactly. But it was just crazy because I showed up and he like had like meanings behind like whatever it's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm kind of in a weird spot because I, you know, I'm surrounded by science. I grew up around science, but I'm also a little bit of a redneck. You know, I like to hunt. I like to play on snow machines, but it's hard to argue with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, with the research that I see and the glaciers that I see disappearing first hand, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, just how much warmer our seasons are is pretty obvious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that thick surface layer, that layer, that 20-30 meter layer melts, uhm, the whole north slope is going to drop about 30 feet or 10 meters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He laughed his quiet musical laugh. He'd laughed more tonight than I'd ever heard in all the time I'd spent with him. You seem more optimistic than usual, I observed. I haven't seen you like this before. Isn't it supposed to be like this? He smiled. The glory of first love and all that. It's incredible, isn't it? The difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very different, I agreed. More forceful than I'd imagined. For example, his words flowed swiftly now. I had to concentrate to catch it all. The emotion of jealousy. I've read about it a hundred thousand times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was even more aggravated than usual, that I couldn't know what you were thinking, why you refused him. Was it simply for your friend's sake? Was there someone else? I knew I had no right to care either way. I tried not to care. And then the line started forming, he chuckled. I scowled in the darkness. I waited, unreasonably anxious to hear what you would say to them, to watch your expressions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't deny the relief I felt watching the annoyance on your face, but I couldn't be sure. That was the first night I came here. I wrestled all night while watching you sleep with the chasm between what I knew was right, moral, ethical, and what I wanted. I knew that if I continued to ignore you as I should, or if I left for a few years till you were gone,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He drew my trapped hands around his back, holding me to his chest. I kept as still as I could, even breathing with caution. I know there's no competition, I mumbled into his cold skin. That's the problem. Of course Rosalie is beautiful in her way. But even if she wasn't like a sister to me, even if Emmett didn't belong with her, she could never have one-tenth,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One hundredth of the attraction you hold for me. He was serious now, thoughtful. For almost 90 years, I've walked among my kind, and yours, all the time thinking I was complete in myself. Not realizing what I was seeking, and not finding anything, because you weren't alive yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last of the rum went down his throat, and picking up his hammer, he came towards me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Determined to fight, I shouted as loudly as I could. Suddenly the door was thrown open, and Herbert and Star-Top rushed in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a violent shout, Orlik jumped over the table and escaped into the night. My two friends had found Orlik's letter to me, which in my hurry I had dropped in my room in London. They had suspected some wicked plot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And come straight to the town and then to the marshes to find me. Luckily, they had arrived just in time. They took me back to London that night and looked after me carefully all the next day. So that, although my arm was still aching and I felt very weak, I was fit enough for the planned journey on Wednesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same exact reason. I need a day off, I don't wanna do the live show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go and go and never give up. Against the wind, you keep running. Even when you stumble and fall over rocks, you never stop fighting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then in the darkness, endure the pain, look at the sky. Cause you see a hundred, or a thousand, ten thousand, shining stars that shine in the distance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then how about finding a nicer way to wake me up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I've made up my mind. Let's do the buddy fight! We don't know what it's really all about until we get there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a weird feeling about this, so I thought I'd come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right. Keisetsu definitely wasn't here to win today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really surprised. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I turned off, how do I show off my light? Somebody tell, I don't know how to do it. Are you kidding me? Call your wife and ask her. Can you fix it? Can somebody fix that? Alexa, turn his light off. Turn my light off!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice job. Nice job with someone's dad. I'm surprised I can get on YouTube. Here's the thing, alright? If you believe in jinxes, you're a moron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a moron. Let's face it. Admit to yourself you're a moron if you believe in jinxes. But even dumber people than the people that believe in jinxes are the people that believe in reverse jinxes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All I have to do is say Austin Hedges is going to get a hit and he won't get a hit or whatever. Like if things were that easy. I don't believe in anything that can't be proven by science. This sounds like a final take. Is this bowl's first take? Yeaah. First take. Here's what we've decided.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then I eat the, then I'm eating the fries and the burger like with one hand on the wheel with my elbow. I'm eating that. Like an American. And I had even taken like one of the pickles out of the cheeseburger and I threw it into the bag and it landed inside of the nuggets and when I was done, I ate the nuggets. I ate the nuggets. You went back to the nuggets!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, you know, if I say a curse word in front of him, he's like, you know, like he's so embarrassed by that. And I yelled at him for something, you know, he did wrong, but it was a minor thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frustration just with my weight and the stuff that I'm dealing with with the car and just a couple other things that just, it got to me and I took it out on my son. So good you can acknowledge that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I've taken them all with a grain of salt. Well, the Seattle one makes more sense to me than San Francisco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I find it hard to believe they'd make a trade for Jimmy, Jimmy Grapple's making even more money than Baker is. Now he'd be a good backup, he'd be the starter for the Browns if Tashaun Watson got suspended. That's why you would do it. And he's more, I think Baker personally is more talented than Jimmy Grapple, but I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Garoppolo, I trust Garoppolo more in a big spot. And I think, and he's obviously more accomplished than Baker. So in that case, you'd get the headache of Baker gone and you'd still get a good, you know, backup quarterback in, uh, and for Baker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, actually Seattle would be, well, the only problem with Seattle for Baker is their offensive line stinks. They got a good running, they got good backs and they got good receivers, although I'm sure DK Metcalf once added there. Obviously San Francisco's got a really good team, but I don't think Baker's starting in San Francisco. Carolina still makes the most sense though, they don't have a good quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree, even if it's eight games, I would still make that trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's weird, because like Seattle is his best chance to start. Right? Even more than Carolina, more than San Francisco, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've got nobody. No, you're right about that. They've got Gino Smith and Drew Laugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Baker's the definite starter in Seattle. It's the only place he can go and be a definite starter probably for the whole season unless he was terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the season, I think they have almost no chance of making the playoffs, no matter who the quarterback is. Really? Yes. For the season? Right, for the season. I would buy that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they, if it's eight games with Garoppolo, I'd give them a shot. I still don't love their chances, even though I think Garoppolo's solid, only because the AFC is so good right now. If they were, if the Browns were in the NFC, eight games Garoppolo, and then nine games Watson, I'd still have a good chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to defend you, and it's a fair point, the Niners, everybody talks about their great coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they've had Garoppolo, they've been the winner. When they have not had Garoppolo with the same coach, they haven't done any winning. We've also seen Garoppolo throw the mindless pick in a huge spot. Because he's not a great talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, you know, if you trust Vegas, that line tells you that Vegas believes Deshaun Watson will play at least half the season. That's a good point. But it's a guess for them too. It is, but we always say Vegas knows things. They do, they do. If Vegas thought Deshaun Watson was going to miss the whole season, the line would not be nine and a half. I agree with you on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I believe Watson's gonna miss 8 games. I think they can go 500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's nine and a half, so he'd have to go six and three, I'll bet on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he gets suspended for eight games, the suspension does not start until after the preseason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In our division? Yes. Oh, okay. Alright. I bet they're all right around there. The Bengals are ten. The Ravens are nine and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I don't know. That seems odd. It is weird. Pretty confident. Uh, Bengals 10, Ravens 9.5, Steelers 7.5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would actually go on the under on all three, believe it or not. Really? In the Bengals too? I would. Wait, the Bengals are at 10? Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way this team is playing, they're not worried about getaway day. I hope not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just hate sequins, with nobody out. I don't. You're hitting, you know, the twins could have scored in the bottom of the inning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I think the teams are... Who's pitching for the Twins again? I can't remember. Um... Smeltzer. Yeah. He's pitched pretty well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get this guy. The Cavs are a, are a Easter conference finals contender with him, are they not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With, with, uh, what's his name? Uh, the kid who plays defense and can't score much. Isaac Koro. Isaac Koro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, exclusively because he went to Ohio State. By the way, none of these people and pretty much none of us have any clue which of these guys is gonna be good or not. Let's be honest. Completely true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jason, last time you went through a Burger King drive-thru. Burger King? Years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, even though it's really gross and I haven't had it probably in a decade, white gasset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, I give you a good, this is what my buddy Aaron and I used to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Brooklyn back in the day, we would go to a pizzeria, you know, here a lot of places you can't get a slice. Like most pizzerias here you gotta order a whole pie. But there are vincenzes downtown, you can get slices there. But what we used to do is, you'd get, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just a slice, and then you take, have them put cold mozzarella cheese, sprinkle it on top, and it would kinda melt in. Yeaah, yeaah. I can see that being real good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Onions are good on a pizza but again, you can't put too many, then it overtakes the pizza. Garlic!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All these other cases too. But everybody, they didn't have to say that. We knew this was going to be sad. They were not just going to throw a 16 game suspension at him. This was all, it's going to be 8 games, right? By the way, Arch Manning going to Texas. Did you guys see that too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's alright, did you hear the mention Josina Anderson saying that they're, uh, Watson negotiating with, do you have a problem, do you think that's, like, unseemly for him to negotiate his punishment? Or are you okay with that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My guess is, I think we all kind of think that those other cases will get settled here in the next few weeks. Probably they're just going to get more money than maybe the others. I don't know. I mean, obviously we're just speculating. And you're right, other things could come up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this point, once he settles with the other four, unless there's a more serious charge down the line, I don't think any, like if all of a sudden six months from now we have a 27th person say he did the same thing to me, I think it's basically going to get ignored, fair or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the only way it would come back once he settles with these four women, assuming he does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is if there was a more serious charge than what he's already been accused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quick answer from everybody. Arch Manning or Brawny James? More pressure. Stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. They're looking at it from two different ways. Like, obviously the expectations for Arch Manning to be successful in the NFL right now are much higher than Brawny's chances of success in the NBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you had to eat chain pizza, which picture are you going with? Oh boy, this is tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice. And I will laugh when Don Jameson is here, he will not be offended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he's still a game or two back. Yeah, I'm still pulling up the standings right here. Let's see that full Steve G Bush down a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both in the lead, but Jay on a furious comeback here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first game, Cleveland, getting a run and a half again. I don't get why these lines never change. They've already won the first two games of the series, but they're still the underdogs and Polk. The only one going against the grain here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anti-bad better, thank you for rocking with me in the under nine and a half runs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the third one? The third one, this is a split J.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll go through the history books. This is show 33, so a back to back 3 and 0 day, Jay, might be the first in our short UCSS history. It's also the first time on this show that we've covered a draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Live, the NFL draft happened before we started, but tonight is the NBA draft, and I'm curious for you guys, what's an ideal draft scenario for the Cavs team?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are hiring for all positions starting at $18 and up. Plus get a full benefit package, paid time off and a signing bonus apply online at precast.com slash careers to learn more true story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who do you want the Cavs to take with the 14th pick in tonight's NBA draft? And I think you guys are gonna like some of these. So let's start with the first one, Steve. Branum, go Bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Completely true. It's a guessing game. Alright, Steve, number two. This is Jeremy Sohan from Baylor, 6'9", wing, freshman. Could fit into what they need. Steve, let's go with three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terry Easton from LSU, even though it's Easton, I don't think there's a T in his name, but he's a good scorer, 16 and a half points per game last year at LSU. Boy, you'll like this next one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have one more, I think this one, he nailed it. Anyone who's over 6'7 can play defense and consistently knock down an open 3-4 shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, this was waiting for Jason to come back. I know this is specifically designed for Jason and we have five minutes to get through this before Chris Manning hops on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Jason, as director of the Athletic in Cleveland, or CEO or founder, whatever your official title is, I want to present you an opportunity on top of your athletic duties, on top of your UCSS duties, I want to offer you a job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the CEO, president, and co-founder of Steve Take It.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Mike, what kind of things would they talk about on there? So, for example, in basketball you have a double-double. Well, in the unathletic, we talk about double-doubles in the workplace. You send 10 emails during the day and eat 10 chicken nuggets for lunch. That is an unathletic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yea, David Waxman, great guy. Alright, let's take the next one, Steve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have, we have one more. This is one more thing we'd cover. You know, if you shoot a three under in golf, you know, this is crossing things off your to-do list. So, Jason, after seeing the kind of hard-hitting journalistic credibility that we need to run this website, The Unathletic, will you become my editor-in-chief of The Unathletic?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got Chris, let's get to Chris here. Nuggets, let's bring in, you wanna do it? Chris Manning. Yeah, oh yeah. Chris, thanks for joining us man. Chris, what are the cats doing in 14?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well G and I were talking after the show yesterday and we both heard, uhm, Jason on the radio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Telling a story about a little trouble he may have gotten over the weekend, which coincides with something we had noticed on Friday when we got lunch after. Jason's car was looking a little rough on Friday and then, uh, Jason, you want to take it from there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, hey, hold on, we got some very convenient news. We're speaking of cars. Well, let's get a DD on here who's coming to us. Can you guess it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. Love it. So let's do a backup top five because as always we cannot.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Aditi was gonna do top 5 with us today. Unfortunately, she froze in the mean streets of Pittsburgh, so we'll push that back to next week. So today's top 5 is the 5 best pizza topics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's number five. Yeah, mushrooms. Let's start with number five, Steve. Chicken. It's versatile, barbecue, buffalo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Aditi's back up, so she's going to chime in with us because we've already started this Top 5. Number 4, Peppers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice bell pepper. It's a great complimentary topping. More than a star, but you need a great role player to have a championship team on a championship pizza. You need peppers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is extra cheese. I won't give you credit for it. Number two. Number two. Sorry DeeDee, but it's sausage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pepperoni is more consistent across the board, that's why it's my number one. You can get Dom- I don't love dominoes, I'm just using it as an example here, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aditi, what's your number one then as a vegetarian? What's your favorite topping?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are far more organized. Hey, hold on guys, we actually have a little breaking news here. Steve, punch the stinger. This is from Josina Anderson who we've already quoted twice today. She tweeted out two minutes ago, quote,

[Assistant] I'm told there have been recent attempts by the NFL, the NFLPA and Deshaun Watson's advisors to negotiate a discipline settlement. However, talks involving a potential number of games, quote,

[Assistant] Vezinkov26 was the first team all EuroLeague forward this season. He was the 57th pick in the 2017 NBA draft, which means Cleveland now has 14, 39, 49, and 56. More ammo for Dejaunte Murray was the first thing that went to my head for Bull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just get out and watch him. Get down there. Tomorrow, De'Quel Jackson. Great. Don Jameson, the comedian. Bull's friend. Wow. Excited to have him in studio. Plus, Daryl Johnson, the moose. Moose is in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't understand how people can do things like that. Poor little fawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The horses look fine. If you step inside, I'll pay you for them now. I'd like to buy the Pinto Pony too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bert, come to the ranch tonight. I want to talk to you. Oh sure, Jean. I'll be there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was afraid this would happen sooner or later. Pick up your guns, boys. I'll give you a chance to explain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get up. One more break like that and you won't be able to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you didn't have to murder him. I didn't murder him. Take him over to that place where he feeds the animals and put this in his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you'll find time, Bert. Don't forget how you and your sister got that wrench.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, we can't afford to lose you now. We've got too much tied up in all this than so have you. I have a few plans for this community and they include you. You run up to the house now and wait for me. I have some money for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't you see this will make us established, respected members of this community. It's just the old con game. Make people like you and they'll believe anything. It's going to be a wonderful party. We might even have a kissing booth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Depends on what you're interested in. Right now it's food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never mind. Thanks for teaching Matt a lesson. He had no business interfering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, this is Jean. Have you seen Roy? He's there. And my pictures are ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be right down for them. Thank you very much. What a break for us, Matt. Hang on, I'll be right back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm sorry, Bert, but I had to. But somebody will find out. If it's Roy you're worrying about, you can forget it. Then he'll never leave the ranch alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but what's the big idea? You can't push me around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big houses with big porches. Big rooms with big windows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And big trees. And big shepherd dogs sleeping in the shade. I'd walk out of the house and I'd look at the trees. And smell the flowers. And I'd run across the lawn and lie down under a tree and read a book. A book of poems maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dream of home. I always dream of home. I have no home. I have no place. Still I dream of all of us together again. We had a farm in Ohio. There was nothing good about it. It was always sad. There was always trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still, did I dream about it as if I could go back there. Mama would be there, and Papa, and my brother Louie, and my little brother Stephen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We lost everything. So we moved to Chicago. We tried to work, we tried to stay together, but my brother Louie got into trouble and I tried to help him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's too good for me. Tom's just like a little boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I've wanted all my life. Too late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You haven't heard me. I've never known anybody like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know much about love anymore, but I know I love you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe, what kind of a life can I give Tom?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now listen all you renegades to what I've got to say. You better start to settle down and save your extra pay. In 45 or 50 years we'll all be old and grey. Did any of you ever stop to think what you're gonna do then? Oh, what are you gonna do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's up in her room crying. Crying? Yeaah. I've been talking to her all this time and she won't stop. What's she crying about? I don't know. She kept talking and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't stand Kitty crying. You want to marry her?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I noticed all of that. Oh, I like that. Travel and highways and little towns and coffee and cupcakes and beautiful valleys and mountains and streams and trees and daybreak and sunset. There is poetry in it at that. Oh, yea, that's the kind of work I ought to do, Joe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zanya! Noboru! What brings you here? We just bumped into each other outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry to drop in on you like this the day before such an important match. It's just that something's been bothering me about that Buddyfighter Sakate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see why he was chosen to represent Kaj in a world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew that we'd see eye to eye on this, which is why I did some research.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found out that Sakate is deeply tied to the Chaos Control Company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's something else. Chaos helped get Sakate into the Buddy Masters tournament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which means that for some reason the company wants to get their hands on the Mirage card. It's obvious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's still a lot we need to find out about Sakate and the Chaos Company. I will continue with my investigations. Gao, you should be very careful tomorrow. I'll be fine. I'm gonna win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's managed to block his center once again!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The funny thing about this tournament was items were on, which we were not fans of. Yea, there was a constant debate about the West Coast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here in the stories about the tournament, items definitely had an effect on the outcome. So we wanted a tournament like on our turf with our rules where we still had Ken and Isaiah represented and proved to them that basically on our home turf with our rules, you can't beat us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just so excited, like, look at all these people from all over the country come to play Melee. DEA showed up in full force, we even had a couple Canada people. I think that's the first time I actually met husband and wife, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Winners finals happened, and that was just brutal, like, Azan and Anden got decimated by Canon Isaiah, and it was never really close. Teams did have the $300 pop bonus, which is mainly why Canon Isaiah came, I think, knowing that they had teams pretty much in the bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It took the longest time to actually get singles started because I had to write the whole bracket out by hand. Stage 2L was all doing well. That encouraged me just knowing that, you know, my crew is legit. I was just focused on running the tournament for a while until I saw that I had to fight Ken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember playing Azen's Marth in, uh, Friendly's a lot that week in preparation, and I would get up throw uppers a lot, but I never got them as much as during that first match against Ken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, this strategy is really, really good and I should probably be using this like at all times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see him coming back, and this is a situation I've seen so many times with Azzin, so I knew what was gonna happen, and I just wave dashed back, let him put out a forward air, and up smash them. Up smash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When someone told me, like, not too long after that, like, yo, that was Ken's first loss in the bracket, and I'm like, oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It turned me from like, just this guy that plays Melee for fun to like, uh, an actual pro player in my opinion. After I beat Ken at that point in winners,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty much all of us in H2IL thought Isaiah was the beast. We all thought Ken was just, you know, overhyped, not very good, like decent, but you know, overhyped. And Isaiah was like really, really good, just based on watching his matches and playing him and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that point, as in, had beat Isaiah, had beat Ken, you know, we, we thought, you know, we had pretty much taken it, but the thing that really killed us was that we were focused on Isaiah, like Isaiah's a problem here, let's talk about how to beat Isaiah, but Ken ended up coming back through losers and, you know, just going on a rampage. I was determined. I had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he beat Dave, he beats Isaiah, and now at the time we're thinking okay, Isaiah just let Ken win for some reason because Isaiah's a lot better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't nearly as focused, which had slightly to do with the time and how late it was and I had been running the tournament all day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even at that point, I still didn't think, you know, Ken was, you know, anything crazy. We'll see what happens, but as and should, you know, wrap this up pretty quick. It's two sets, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ken just never let up, and I mean, Azen's not the type to do that either, but Azen didn't have as much of a game plan going in. Like if he had played Ken in more friendlies or just expected Ken to come out, he might have had a better game plan ready and things might have gone different, but Ken did end up coming all the way back and taking it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a great tournament. To be honest, when we were having those back and forths, who's the second best in H2IL, it was most often Chu, more so than any of the rest of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was the first time I didn't win singles, I know. Even though we ideally would like to see Azen fight Ken again, because that's just always an epic match, this really opens the door for Azen to take it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one had ever done. Everybody was like, oh man, who is this? Look at this IceClimber player. Other than Azen and Ken, there wasn't anyone who could really touch Isaiah, or so we thought. And then all of a sudden, Chu comes in with this considered low tier at the time character, IceClimbers. Like, he single-handedly probably moved up IceClimbers ten spots just based on that performance. I fight Captain Jack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I lose to Captain Jack. It set up as in verse Captain Jack and I'm on the phone with Chu while the finals is happening. I remember getting so pissed off that literally everyone in the venue it seemed like was cheering for Captain Jack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once Azin won, like, I just, I mean, that was it. I remember putting in my sig, like, congrats to Azin, best player in the world, or something like that, like, I was just like, okay, this is it, Azin's the best in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had this kind of aura about him that just seemed unbeatable if he felt like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuck, you can do that? Alright, plant C! Ah! Wait, what is plant C? I don't have a plant C! Uh, plant C is uh, plummet to your death. Uhhh. So don't get the fucking- get away from the poison cloud! It's fine. What are you doing? Whoa, I see the glowy's! I see the glowy's. Yeaah, the glowy's are gonna- So, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That got so intense right off the bat! Oh yea, he wants you. He wants a piece of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why he's climbing up the walls so you can't see his belly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wanna put some distance between you and him, so you can actually see him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From a distance? Really? As opposed to like- But I like this! I'm shooting him and he can't see me! Right, but you don't really know what you're hitting, do you? Am I not hitting the fuh, uuuh? I mean you hit it, yeah, and then like what now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I don't know. Okay, god dammit, I think this is starting to make sense. Okay. Uhm, uh, fuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, no, wrong button. He's right there, now you got a clear shot, see? Yes. You don't gotta shoot him through the window. Oh, okay. So, one of the- Oh, damn it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda thought that his poison breath would pass over me. And, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know that? Okay. Okay, here we go. That's what you get! That's what dicks get. That's what happens... ...to dicks. So yea, you gotta piss him off from a distance. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will, I will take the tactic that I would take in an actual fight, which is talk shit from a great distance and then run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, it's like in, in, in like, uh, when they get in fights, like during basketball games, and like, some guy will sucker punch the other guy, and then like, just immediately starts skipping back, backwards, like, uh-huh, uh-huh, okay, okay, okay, it's fine, everything's fine, everything's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's very tough. Oh snap, you got like a clear view right here. I did, but- You're an old strat. It's- I have to sneak around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is very painful. Will he just let me do this? Yeah, I mean. Until he dies? You want, no. Oh. You're gonna probably have to do it a couple more times, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, these are good shots, though. Oh, yeah, dude. Oh, yeah, you got rid of his first one. Oh, he's very angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, give it to me. In very, very graphic detail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, yo, where my John Hancock's at, dawg? Pretty sure you can hear how sweet that high five was, everybody. Why is it that they call it a John Hancock?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not scary. The Declaration of Independence, I believe it was. John Hancock wrote his signature like 50 times bigger than everyone else's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I mean, like, he didn't invent the signature, he just did it like a douche. Yeah. So now it's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he totally does. Stop. No, stop. You can get his attention and then he'll stop walking. Oh, but he's back on the ground now. It's okay, if he falls over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bleh! Whoa, okay. I don't know where I am. I don't know what's happening. Oh, okay, I just fell down the stairs. You're on the second what? Uh, on the second symbol.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, jeez. Oh, is that how it works? He may have spotted me. I think. Fuck me! Alright, I'm gonna take a new, uh, new vantage point. Yeah, new approach. Oh, there he is, yeah. Just go to the opposite side. You can get him. You can shoot him through the window. Maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and I both know. I'm not getting out of this shit. Oh, slidey-slides. Very nice work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea? Well he didn't, he didn't, like the hardest thing for me is like shaking it off, you know, like, like when they try to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just takes forever when they do a lot of shaking. Oh, right. But he doesn't shake, he just falls and dies. I see what you mean. Yeah. I understand your- your reasoning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, and if my math is correct, 16 divided by 8 is 8, we are now halfway through this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's alive! What is this? She's al- you beat the game, I told you! No, is this real life? I told you! Is this real life?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on, man. I'm sorry. Fucking dated internet r- I just hadn't thought of that in a long time. No, it was just in his mind. Nooo. The, uh, the, the, the black demon and the guys are like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if you were gonna cop a feel, this is the time when you can almost convince yourself that she's alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's cold. Not that I mind. Oh, this is really sad, actually. I thought he was gonna go for the boob. No, he's a good guy. Well, I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably, probably a good guy. I mean, he's murdering a lot of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh snap, yo. What if the god was just like, he looks doofy as fuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, daaamn. Have you looked at this guy? You're in for a rude awakening. Seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To defeat the crown of Thor and Starfish, find Triton's trumpet guardians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to de-emphasize athletics, not glorify them. I know, Albert. I know I'm waving a red flag in front of a bull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's not only a fracture of the first phalanx of the second finger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The linear fracture of the metacarpal bone extending into the joint. What's all this mean, Doc? Can't you say it in English? It means he's through. For good, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, Saul's scoop of the day! Grandma Shark is holding auditions! She needs performers for the village concert, so please come out! Zing zing! The line is super long!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell the world you do. Never mind. We all make mistakes. There's no harm done. Just forget about it and take me back. Take you back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was great. Certainly fixed that up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She likes me a lot. She will in time. I'm poisoned to her. It won't work. No use wasting any time inside of Farnsworth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, a lot of people don't know it. Even after they see me playin' it, they don't know it. You get used to it after a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you stay put and listen to me. You remember the last time I went up in that plane?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll have Abbott take care of these in the morning. I'll get them all signed and everything, just like your father says. Don't you worry about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no. No, not tonight. See me tomorrow. Make it early, will ya? Nice work, Max.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Glad to know you. You interested in the fight game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, Mr. Logan, I'll go right down. Mr. Farnsworth, your clothes. Yea, I better put on some clothes. Will you sit down, sir?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here we are. Uh, sit down, Miss Logan, we have a little talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's wonderful. That's wonderful! You gotta sit down now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I guess not. I thought for a minute I did. Funny how sometimes you feel you know people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the darkness, your voice sounded like I'd heard it someplace before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you thinking? He asked impatiently after a few moments. I lied again. Just wondering where we're going. It's a place I like to go when the weather is nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He both glanced out the windows at the thinning clouds after he spoke. Charlie said it would be warm today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And did you tell Charlie what you were up to? He asked. Nope. But Jessica thinks we're going to Seattle together? He seemed cheered by the idea. No, I told her you canceled on me, which is true. No one knows you're with me, angrily now. That depends, I assume you told Alice. That's very helpful, Bella, he snapped. I pretended I didn't hear that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you so depressed by forks that it's made you suicidal? He demanded when I ignored him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're worried about the trouble it might cause me if you don't come home. His voice was still angry and bitingly sarcastic. I nodded, keeping my eyes on the road. He muttered something under his breath, speaking so quickly that I couldn't understand. We were silent for the rest of the drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could feel the waves of infuriated disapproval rolling off of him. I could think of nothing to say and then the road ended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Warmer than it had been in Fork since the day I'd arrived. Almost muggy under the clouds. I pulled off my sweater and knotted it around my waist. Glad that I'd worn the light sleeveless shirt, especially if I had five miles of hiking ahead of me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard his door slam and looked over to see that he'd removed his sweater too. He was facing away from me into the unbroken forest beside my truck. This way, he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Panic was clear in my voice as I hurried around the truck to catch up to him. I said there was a trail at the end of the road, not that we were taking it. No trail, I asked desperately. I won't let you get lost. He turned then with a mocking smile and I stifled a gasp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His white shirt was sleeveless and he wore it unbuttoned so that the smooth white skin of his throat


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His perfect musculature no longer merely hinted at behind concealing clothes. He was too perfect, I realize, with a piercing stab of despair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no way this godlike creature could be meant for me. He stared at me, bewildered by my tortured expression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anxious not to waste one second of whatever time I might have with him. What's wrong, he asked, his voice gentle. I'm not a very good hiker, I answered Dully. You'll have to be very patient. I can be patient if I make a great effort, he smiled, holding my glance, trying to lift me out of my sudden unexplained dejection. I tried to smile back, but the smile was unconvincing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He scrutinized my face. I'll take you home, he promised. I couldn't tell if the promise was unconditional or restricted to an immediate departure. I knew he thought it was fear that upset me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was grateful again that I was the one person whose mind he couldn't hear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here in San Francisco where LG has kindly provided us with the opportunity to spend some time with the LG 2017 OLED televisions. And in this video, I'm going to go through the video settings to see what has changed versus the 2016 models. Coming right up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello everyone, this is Vincent Teoh from HDTVTest. I'm a professional TV reviewer and calibrator. In this channel, we do scientific TV reviews, video interviews, unboxing videos and also settings test and tricks. So if you are new to this channel, please consider subscribing by clicking this button below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LG Signature W Series of OLED Television, which is the company's flagship for 2017. We will go through the design and other picture quality aspects in another video. But in this video, we are going to focus entirely on the user menu changes that the company has actually implemented for this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we go into the ISF Expert darkroom mode, which is the most accurate picture preset out of the box. And if we go down,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we will see is that under the expert controls here, colour gamut, remember previously it was labelled as colour gamut normal, extended or white in terms of the options and we have actually done a video


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Explaining why colour gamut normal is the correct setting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it can be quite confusing because some users were using colour gamut white to try and replicate the white colour gamut. But that is not the correct approach. The correct approach was to use colour gamut normal. This year, the company has listened to feedback and relabeled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Color gamut normal to auto which makes far more sense because when you set color gamut to auto, what the television will do is to automatically switch its color gamut mapping to either SDR


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going through other aspects of the user menu again, uh, we can see that it still keeps the same Gamma BT186 as default.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] White balance. Okay. And let's go through the color measurement system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you pay attention here, apply to all inputs, actually only apply the first page of the settings to all other sources. And then under the white balance, if we go into the white balance submenu, you can see that under the two point white balance,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is one applyToAllInputs function and then you have to do that separately for the 20-point function.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you have to click this again. So you have to click it three times to copy it across. And even then, the TV won't copy all the settings across because the settings within the picture options will remain independent per input. There's no way to copy this with one click of the button. So this is an aerial improvement that certainly LG can implement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's try and put in HDR content in terms of HLG, HDR10 and also Dolby Vision content to see what we get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LG's 2017 OLED TVs will support three HDR formats out of the box, namely HDR10, HLG or Hybrid Log Gamma, and Dolby Vision. Support for Technicolor is due to arrive at a later date following a firmware upgrade. Now, I'm playing a HDR10 video clip here through the USB port. Let's see what has changed in the user menu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we notice is that there will be more picture mode compared to the year before. There's Vivid, Standard, Cinema Home, Cinema and Game and I believe that it will default to Cinema Home out of the box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the most accurate picture preset for HDR at the very least to reproduce the artistic intent is Cinema Mode. So let's go into Cinema Mode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where we will explore various options here. Let's go into the expert settings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I need to explain a bit about dynamic contrast in HDR mode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LG has implemented a feature called Active HDR on their 2017 OLEDs. Active HDR actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] tries to simulate dynamic metadata from static metadata from let's say


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Streaming services and also 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays. Now, the way to engage active HDR, because it was too late in the development cycle to introduce a new menu option, so they repurposed a dynamic contrast to activate and deactivate active HDR.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, off is clearly to switch off active HDR and if you want to switch on active HDR set it to low, to dynamic contrast low which will

[Assistant] You can see that new to 2017 sets, LG has implemented a two-point web balance controls in HDR mode. This will allow us to get a more accurate grayscale when you're watching HDR content. And if we go into the 20-point colour

[Assistant] But if we go into the individual quote value, on last year's model, the maximum quote value that the TVs actually go up to is around 668. But this year, LG has gone all the way up to 1023, which is a 100% stimulus.

[Assistant] Uh, an increase in terms of the range that you can actually adjust for the 20 point white balance.

[Assistant] Okay, and that's for HDR10. Let's move on to HLG to see what has changed.

[Assistant] Here, I'm going to play a clip called Travel XP that has been encoded in HLG. You can clearly see that the TV goes into HDR mode, meaning that it has correctly detected the HLG format and is displaying it with the correct formula. If we go into the picture menu settings,

[Assistant] What we can see is that because I've purposely set sharpness to 28 when we were doing HDR10 mode and it is still maintaining the same sharpness setting which means that the values are all shared between HDR10 mode and also HLG mode within the same input.

[Assistant] Let's go through the two expert controls and see what we can or cannot do. If we go into the white balance submenu, what we can see here is that the

[Assistant] Hopefully that means that it will just basically use the settings when we have calibrated for HDR10.

[Assistant] LG has had a very good partnership with Dolby for some time now. And what we are going to play here is a Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos clip. If we play it through the USB drive, you can clearly see the Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos notification with the Dolby logo appearing on the top right of the screen.

[Assistant] And let's go through the menu settings and see what's new.

[Assistant] It defaults to cinema home mode. And again, you can see that under the Dolby Vision picture mode, there's vivid standard cinema home, cinema and game. Cinema is going to be the most accurate to the director's intent. Let's go to cinema.

[Assistant] And one thing that I need to explain about OLED light that even ourselves didn't realise until yesterday was that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Previously we always thought that OLED light is like a backlight function on LED LCD. You can use that to increase or decrease the light output on screen. But what Dolby and LG has done on the LG OLEDs, this even applies to the 2016 models, is that the OLED light has been repurposed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To actually dictate the APL to increase or decrease the average picture level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or the average brightness of the scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which explains why sometimes we can't even see an increase or decrease in brightness even though we jacked up all that light to 100 because it is just detecting the APL. It does not function like a traditional backlight that we understand from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The standard dynamic mode, OLED light, it basically increases or decreases the APL output.
