[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He feels comfortable with that style, but if that offensive guy fails, he can blame him and fire him like he did Pete Carmichael last year. You see? Can't do that going into the future no more because.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they're continuing to losing, the, the, the common denominator is him. And of course make it long. So in the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He done, he kinda running out of moves right here fam, to be quite honest with you man. He running out of moves here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. What's up, Tasha? Shout out to you and my boy Sean. Much love. Claude says, I'm be emailing you a Saints Draftboard Cuba. Good. Yeah. Do that. Do that. Do that. Scout, man. I'll go over it, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, man. Yeah, bro. Send me what you got, man. Usually, you know, I get a lot of great information from...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because they're offensive line in situations. Uh, Kendra Miller actually has an RB one ceiling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My comp to him is TCU's Joseph Adai. How about that? Yeah. Well, I can see the comparisons, bro. You know, it's how he looked in that last game. He had the wiggle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you seen guys like Jamal Williams couldn't get any light, Kendre Miller was able to make something happen behind that busted offensive line that Sanks was running out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was making guys miss at the line and he was able to break a few tackles and gain extra yardage. He was able to do a little bit more, you know what I'm saying? So yeah, he definitely has a great, uh, a great, some great abilities. Sinks really picked very well with, with Kendre Miller. Mott says Q, should we take a chance on Pinnix if he drops?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the right draft spot. I definitely think so if he drops somewhere in the fourth round or something like that, I would definitely grab Michael Pinnix. He's better than Jake Hayner. I'm sorry, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a guy that is, he got a lot of talent, man. Like I said, the thing they're downplaying Michael Witt is because of his injury history. Doesn't shine well, but he's super productive when he's in there. The guy knows how to play football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He dealt with a ton of injuries and the guy fought back to become.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he does a pro deal, they find some injury or some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, a situation like that, it tends to make them slide down a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're lucky somewhere early in the fourth round, but I don't think Pinnix Jr. Going to go that far. I think that's where a guy like Michael Pratt from Tulane will end up like in the fourth round somewhere in there. Uh, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys like Pinnix should be going late second into the third. So I mean, if he's there, hell yeaah, you should pick him up. He's definitely, he's better than Jake Hayner. But you know, like I said, once again, we'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, scout says, uh, verse would be awesome, but he'll get, yeah, I said curse. I meant verse, Jared verse. Uh, he said, I think you're right that we have that, that we have a type Tyler Davis, right? It's no tackle from Clemson who played next to Brian Bressi. That would be fun, right? Travis says, uh, grab Jamal Adams. See if he can stay healthy, grab the offensive tackle from Dallas and the offensive guard from Detroit about that. So we build offensive line there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Jamal Adams, and I like Jamal Adams. Yeah. Jamal Adams is good, but he had a lot of injuries that happened. Is he good? I know he has some, some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Family stuff or some mental stuff that happened with Jamal Adams since he went to Seattle. He kind of went down a bit, you know, but I got all the love and respect for LSU people. That's my squad. So, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jamal Adams, perhaps, perhaps Joe Woods can rework with him, but at the right price. And I don't know. Like I said, I think the Saints are keen on Jordan Howden. I think we kind of under selling Jordan Howden and what the Saints are doing. You know, I think they really see him as a starting safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you can win with losers on top of the team. Peyton built the Super Bowl team. Mickey got lucky when he hired. Just going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Well, can you win with losers on top of the team? Can we win a super bowl with Dennis Allen? Y'all put, put it in a chat. Matter of fact, let me do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me do this. Give me a second here. Let me see if I can do this. Let me...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask the family. That's an interesting statement you made there. 504 code my brother. Yes, my brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I'm about to put that, I wanna see what y'all got to say for that. Hold on, I don't think I did that right. Hold on, hold on, hold on just a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] D.A. won the Superbowl in New Orleans. Y'all, all the family members in the building hit that pole and let me know what y'all think, man, cause that's an interesting thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bible focus. You can win with losers on top of the team. Peyton built the Super Bowl team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But did he have, did he, did Peyton bill it with losers? I don't think he built it with losers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really kind of did this thing and really you talk about Mickey got lucky when he hired Peyton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be the head coach. Cause they were targeting Gary Kubiak cause Kubiak had, he had a resume as a player. He was a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Backup quarterback for John Elway. He won two championships with John Elway as a backup. He won two super bowls as an offensive coordinator for Denver. So he was a guy that had the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the head coach, I talk about this story all the time because I was there. I just don't like when they romanticize it like, oh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is totally not what happened. He wanted Gary Kubiak and the reason why he didn't end up with Gary Kubiak is cause Kubiak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got a big contract from the Texans and he wanted to come to New Orleans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he wasn't going to match it and Sean Payton was the runner up and he just settled with Sean. That's what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wanted Gary Kubiak as his head coach and he didn't want to match the contract that the Texans gave him. That's what it came down to. So Gary went to Houston and Sean Payton, who was the runner up, got the job. And then coach Payton came in and coach Payton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got the draft. He picked up Reggie Bush. He got Drew Brees, who Drew Brees was trying to go to Miami.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drew Brees was trying to go to Miami and Nick Saban was the head coach and general manager of the Miami Dolphins at the time. And the one year that he went pro, of course he finished eight and eight that year, but what occurred was that he ultimately


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said, you know, he was trying to get to Miami and it was a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Decision that Mick, that Nick Saban had to make between Drew Brees and Dante Culpepper and Nick Saban chose Dante Culpepper over Drew Brees and Drew came here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in both cases, both of those guys came together. So it's more fortunate than anything because both of those guys was Sean Payton wanted to come to New Orleans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wanted to, but New Orleans was having his picks and chooses between the two and that's how it happened. So it came together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So anyway, I don't know. Can you, can you build a team like that, man? I don't know if you can build a team like that, man. Like you talking about building a team with losers and I don't know if you can build a team with losers, bro. And I don't think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reggie Bush was a loser. Sean Payton was a loser. Drew Brees was a loser. Scott Fontenot was a loser. I mean, Scott, not Scott Fontenot, uh, Scott Vegeta, who they picked up on. Scott Shanley was another dude that they brought in here to kind of build up the defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and they did a few things to kind of add and build up the team over time. They drafted well, brought in some free agents and then went from there. So I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, young blood says trade Marshawn would be a big mistake. Indeed it would be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And keep it, keep it as, he said, keep it as simple draft and, you know, draft at skill position, no developmental projects in the first. Thank you, brother Derek. You know, they always got to hit us with the surprise. They had a decent draft last year. Inevitable says, Lattimore the best cornerback in Saints history. Eric Allen second, cause he was older when we got him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think Eric Allen was on a slide, the downslide when we got him from Philadelphia, you know, and I was like, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, yeah, we got them later on, but I have to think about it, but yeah, no, no doubt about it. Latimer was the greatest cornerback the Saints ever had. Well, then again, I don't know. What about, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I may have to look into it, but I know he's up there. He's like either one or two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, scout says, uh, maybe their logic is DA Scheme is friendly to DBs. A D-Bow, Yidam play good outside, Lantez outside guy too, moving lat might be culture, cap decision, draft a slot cornerback, retain Yidam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. Yeah, Yidam did it when Joe Woods was good for Isaac Yidam. He stopped him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He controls the defensive backs in terms of the cornerbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marcus Robinson, who was the secondary coach, controls the saf- the safeties. So the DB, the cornerbacks are controlled by Joe Woods. So Joe Woods had a direct influence over Isaac Yidam's game. I was very impressed with Isaac Yidam. His progression from last year and, you know, based on the previous year was like night and day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he's a free agent, so hopefully the Saints could retain him. But then again, somebody might see his value because he's a good size cornerback, play really well. They might want to offer him a little bit more money than what he is. And Paul Snodibbo rebound well off the sophomore slump year. You know, and like I said, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alante Taylor, a lot of guys talk about Alante Taylor when they drafted Alante, he was supposed to have dual purpose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wanted Allante to play a little safety. They wanted to play cornerback outside, inside because he was meant to replace Chauncey Gardner Johnson. That's what the thing about, uh, when he was looked at more of a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Version, not saying that, Chauncey, but Chauncey was loud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he talked a lot of mess and Alonti Taylor wasn't like that. Alonti Taylor is the kind of personality wise that were different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and that's what the Saints did when they dropped drafting them to come here and play, but he could play outside, inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell, he can pull out a little safety if you give him the opportunity to do that. So there's some duality there in terms of what Allante Taylor could bring to the saints. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we'll see. Alright, Duke says, yeah, I agree, Q. Benson needs independent advisor, Loomis and DA that crap he pulled on Winston. Apologize, Falcons, straight loser. And that's the thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dennis Allen, I used to talk about this all the time when they were losing a lot of games. Dennis Allen would go up to the podium and I was like, he needs to apologize for the performance that that team put on because they were not prepared. They went out there and stunk. There was never none of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he only time he does apologize is to apologize to the Falcons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a play that they ran at the end of the year to throw his team under a bus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I thought that was to what kind of code of ethics or morality does this do operate by? I mean, he just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He just, it's just, I don't like this dude. I really don't. I don't like him. I don't like that type of personality. You know, a guy that's backstabbing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That does stuff like that. He wouldn't want nobody to do him that to stab him in the back or throw him under the bus, but he comfortable with doing it to his team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a good general manager, which you don't have, would have said, listen, no, you gotta, no, you can't do that. Go apologize to them in front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of everybody. I don't care what, you know, it don't have to be in front of the world, but go, go tell them, listen, man, I'm sorry, you know, take them out to dinner, do something. You don't have to tell the world about it, but go and fix that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they're not going to play for you, but that guy don't get that because it ain't that type of guy that you got running the team. I'm just keeping it a buck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be a saint. Yeah, well, Pennex man is a dude, man, that I think he should. He's better than any, he's better than Jake Hayner. That's all I could tell you, brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if the saints get an opportunity to pick them up later on, they should. This, you know, stop, you know, you need to add point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think, I don't know if Jake Hayner, I would lean on more of the side that Jake Hayner is not the future of the Saints team. Once your boy car gets gone, they're going to need somebody else. They need somebody that's, you know, that's going to excite the base. And if Hayner's worth it, let him and Pinnix fight for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or if it's not him, it's Jordan, the kid from Florida State, I'll take either one of those guys. Or Pratt from Tulane, he's a good one. You know, there's a bunch of good guys out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was thinking about Milton man, when Milton was due, he had that big off Tennessee. A lot of his game is he got a huge arm, bro. He can, he can throw it like he Josh, Josh Allen or somebody, but his accuracy needs a little work, but he's a big quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Staying tall in the pocket, got a gun farm. His accuracy wanes a bit. So if you can get him to kind of get more accurate on what he's saying, you might get a diamond with Big Joe Milton out of University of Tennessee. Yeah, Dukes say he's better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, Scott Super Bowl. Well, maybe he can make the playoffs, but yeah, but the ultimate goal is Super Bowl with Dennis Allen. Can you win a Super Bowl with Dennis Allen? Remember you got like two years to do it because a lot of, in two years is the contract with a lot of these players like the Mario Davis, Tyron Matthew, Cam Jordan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their contracts are up in two years. So that's your window of opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So whatever you got to do, it got to happen within that 12 window. That's also consequently the time when.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll know what's going on with Derek Carr. So the saints reset themselves in about two years. So can you get there? That's, that's, that's what we're talking about here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can the Saints get there in the next two years with the current core of players that they have? We talking about Carr, Taysom, uh, Tyron, Cam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uh, DiMario, two years, Elvin Kamara is on a two year deal. So the saints reset themselves in two years. Can they do it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what you, that's all you got. That's all you got. You done wasted away the last two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really it was a four years, I said three years, but it's really if you stretch it out and what they're doing, you stretching it out to a three to four year window. And there's two years remaining with the window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that, the team is going to have to reset themselves. So are they ready? That inevitable says, uh, I thought Sean Payton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was in, running for the Green Bay job, but Sean Payton was the guy. He was more interested in New Orleans than he was in Green Bay. He was, and when.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the thing, the way it went was, and you can go home. I think it's a lot of these articles are still up, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Benson wanted Kubiak, Gary Kubiak, who wanted to come here, but he wanted him to match the money that the Texans had gave him. Cause Texans gave him a contract and he wanted Tom to match it. If Tom Benson would have matched it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you would have had Kubiak instead of Sean Payton, but it all worked out the way it was supposed to, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, Sean says, uh, big Sean says Sean Payton wanted to go to Green Bay, settle for New Orleans after Green Bay, deal four people. That was, that was, I'm telling you, you know, I remember how it happened. I remember Sean Payton wanted to go, he wanted the New Orleans job and I know, and listen,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we're going to have to go back. I'm going to have to pull up my receipts for that. Brent says, what's up? Brent says, what dumb DA luck maybe, but it's what we're relying on. Come on, man. All right. Shout out to you, Brent. Good to hear from you, bro. All right. What's up? OG Jerry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're big ups to you, brother. Good to see you in the chat, man. But anyway, let's hit that. What's up, my dog says Mike McCarty was Green Bay's choice to hit. Asked Payton's permission before Aslet was fired. That is true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, yeaah, that's true because Hasslett was, uh, McCarthy was Hasslett's offensive coordinator. That is correct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's, he went up there and I think he got a super bowl out of him. So it was a good choice for Green Bay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get, uh, McCarthy, he took a, he went up there, won a championship with him. And then you had, um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, so anyway, let's, let's look at the poll, man. I don't left it up there long enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The question is can Dennis Allen win a Super Bowl in New Orleans and man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the people that were polled said that this is not going to happen. But like I said, but currently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not a surprise because like I've said, and I continue to say Dennis Allen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't wild the base. He doesn't, he really doesn't, especially when you're backstabbing your players and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The trade rumor circulating, circulating around DiMario Davis. There's some cap in my opinion. Uh, the situation with Marshawn Lattimore has some smoke to it because of the differences with the team. I think that one's a little bit more valid because that other stuff with DiMario is just cap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jason Lockenfore is the one that dropped that giblet. It didn't come from our really good insiders that covered the Saints commentary. None of that came from them. None of that came from them. All of that other stuff came.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got underhealed on the rest of these guys that cover the saints, man. I'll be like, man, that, that, that taps cause he won't give you no BS or no bull. He won't do that, but lock him for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who, uh, like Sigla put all the tweets showing all of the dumb stuff that he said over the years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was pretty good. He dropped some receipts and man, listen, I don't think y'all should be listening to this cat about this. I've been in the end. Like I said, I think it's some, some cap on the Mario.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, maybe a little something will add or more. It shouldn't be will add or more, but that's unfortunately what it is. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right then, scout says in fairness today, I don't think our GM really gave Masubo Rasta either. He's got top payroll in NFL, needs four positions on offensive line, long-term QB, pass rush, another wide receiver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty messy. In fairness to Dennis Allen and Scout, that's why we're going to difference in opinion with you. Sean Payton left, when Sean Payton left, this team wasn't a low-cover team. And every year the Saints gave Dennis Allen whatever he wanted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it wasn't like Mickey Loomis was like, we're going to add this to the team. No, a lot of the movements that's happened over the last three years were movements that were put together by Dennis Allen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And most teams go through, uh, every team goes through, uh, free agency periods when it lose some of its players to somebody else. The Saints were in good position. It was off only one game off from a playoff trip with Sean Payton left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Tyron Matthew Jarvis with Jarvis Landry was added, I think that was. And then, you know, stuff like that, but it was added later on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they added people to the team and like I've said, and this will continue to be the same sticking point during the Dennis Allen administration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is they add people, they draft people, they add people to a free agency and what ended up happening is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The issue with them is they don't translate the talent well from the off season to the end season. And when you have, and that's, that's the common thread that always fails the Saints because they'll get all this talent and then they'll misuse the talent. And that's what I was saying about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, during the season, that they misuse everything. Like they'll, the season and all this other stuff that happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All they needed to do was make tweaks during the season and the man refused to do it. The coach, if you won't call him that, refused to make the changes offensively speaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He sat on his ass the whole time while offensive line stunk. They were up and down. He didn't make any moves. He didn't do anything and all that played the same damn way over and over again. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you don't make changes and you see things falling apart and people are pushing on you to make changes, the media is asking you to make changes and you don't do anything and then you say, we're going to make changes that don't make any changes and then you lose. Don't tell me nothing, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't tell me nothing. Why didn't you make the changes during the year when the team offensively was struggling? Why didn't you change offensively?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why didn't you try a different offensive coach in terms of offensive line coach to come in there and talk to the, you know, let him run it for a little bit. See what he can do. Bring somebody else into that advisor to see what they can do there. Why didn't you do any of that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So at the end of the year, you're going to stand up there and tell you he pissed. I don't want to hear it, man. I don't want to hear it. And that's the problem we have with these guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they'll pinpoint talent. They'll tell you where we need more of this and more of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About the talent is about them misusing these people. They're not using them correctly or making the proper adjustments when you're supposed to adjust. They're not doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to keep it real. Mont says, uh, he was 49 in Lucy when he got Green Bay hired him, but Green Bay wanted him for the Saints in 03-04 as coordinator. Thank you, bro. Travis says greatest Saints cornerback of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Latimore, I don't even put Mackenzie up there. You talking about Mike Mackenzie?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the tops man might have to go back into Saint's Lure to kind of add another one. It's somebody we miss it from Saint's Lure from yesteryear that we ain't putting up on this board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's better than Mike McKinsey? Mike McKinsey used to, he looked like a saint's predator. He used to always get cooked out there. And if you usually make a play on the ball is by simple by, by mistake or something, McKinsey used to get cooked, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, listen, I don't have no problems. Mike McKenzie used to infuriate me because he would not turn and locate the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just didn't look McKenzie to me. He used to infuriate me, man. He used to get cooked, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? He used to get cooked, man. That's how I remember Mike McKenzie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, Sean says, there's an organization we messed up when we didn't run it back with Jameis. Worst case scenario would have been we had a bad season. Top pick, draft JD5. Indeed. Brett Maxx is safety though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a safety. That wasn't a corner. Brent says, uh, speaking truth to power key on the way. Yes, we have to face it, bro. We got to, we got to face it. Thank you, bro. Uh, mine says toy cook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Brett Maxey. Toy was a corner, Brett Maxey was a safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And toy cook used to get cooked all the time, bro. So he was probably one of the worst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cornerbacks we had cause he used to get kid, probably listen, I ain't gonna do it as late in the show right now, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two cornerbacks, probably the worst cornerbacks. See, Todd Cook had his moments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he was known, he was famous for getting burnt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He used to get cooked all the time. That's why his name cooked. Oh, he got cooked. But the thing is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think a guy, I think a guy worse than toy cook was out there for the saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even Jason David might get thrown in there like he just thrown Jason David's name in there, but Jason David, he was a five foot seven cornerback, but at least he got interceptions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least Jason Dave got inception. Uh, one of the worst saints cornerbacks in recent memory was Alex Molden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His son playing the league today, Alex Molden was a first round draft pick. Awful cornerback. Totally awful. I remember Alex Molden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there you go, Kareem. Kareem, that's right. Alex Moldin, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alex Moldin was one of the work, cause he was a first round draft pick bus corner. He used to get cooked all the time. He was, if toy cook was cooked, that boy was grilled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fred Thomas, no Jason David and Fred Thomas were wa- Fred Thomas was pretty bad. But you gotta remember too, Fred Thomas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was eh, he played with a lot of heart, but Fred Thomas, both Jason David and Fred Thomas were undersized cornerbacks, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were undersized cornerbacks. They used to get matched up with six foot three, six foot five. I used to hate watching them go against Carolina with Moussa Mohammed and all them boys. Some dudes was like six, three, six, four, and them dudes, and Fred was like five, nine or something, five, 10 or something, whatever it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jason Day, who's stupid enough to get a five foot seven cornerback in an age of the league where the receivers are averaging six one six two? The Saints? That's what they did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, but yeah, Fred, they were little dudes, man. Jason Dave was, uh, Alex Molden was what? 5-11? He used to get killed out of there, dude. Oh, Brandon Brown. Oh yeah, that dude, man. He just, they got Brandon Brown late in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they tried to play him at cornerback. They should have kind of converted them to a safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put him more into like a camp chancellor role because he'd had no speed. He had the size.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he didn't have the speed. Then the Saints just, just stupid. They just was doing crazy stuff, man. Back in the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was, they got him at the wrong time, man. Brandon Browner was not a good choice for the Saints to put at their cornerback position. I talked about it a long time. I was like, man, that dude should be converted to a safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like on the back end of the defense, but not at no corner back in the sinks. Just, I think that year they was dealing with a lot of injuries. It was just the awful time for who that's. Anyway, on a lighter note, man, listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hopefully nobody gets trade, but these are just some of the trade rooms that's circulating around with the New Orleans Saints and who that nation. Listen, I don't ran my up to my point. Uh, well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably back later on in the, uh, Dave family to recap the Pelicans matchup against the Atlanta Hawks tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Pelican Post-Gang report. If y'all, all the Pell fans can feel free to join us at the Pelican Post-Gang report. Come on over and subscribe and join us tonight as we recap the Pelicans getting that dub and listen on the same stuff. We'll return on Monday with more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, same content, man, we'll keep an eye on all this stuff going on. But currently, like I said, the same black people right now are just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According export, uh, uh, over the cap or just at $10.9 million in the red. So they're getting closer and closer to getting the green. So with that being said, I'm gonna end on that. Listen, I appreciate all you guys for trying to know this episode to show, do me a favor, hit the like button, hit the sub button and also feel free to share the show.

[Assistant] Let me just picture it. He's sawing through his well-done steak. Dousing it in ketchup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, this is not working out. Then I don't know what is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very healthy and lovely band-aid to reveal the rot at the core of humanity. Great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess I would ask that community, you know, for all that we have lost already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of evangelical leaders are very comfortable using Donald Trump, who's really a heathen. A heathen. I mean, they're using him as a cudgel in the culture war and they seem very comfortable with that.

[Assistant] Billie Eilish is the first artist born this century to hit number one in the Billboard charts. From signing a record deal at 14, she's gone on to become an era-defining star.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Along the way she's picked up seven Grammys, two Brits, become the youngest star to headline Coachella and Glastonbury, and won an Oscar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's grown up online in the public gaze, connecting her to a global digital generation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In your documentary, your Apple documentary, there was a lovely moment in there where Katy Perry pulls you to the side and she says, you know, if you ever need...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My final question is, you know, this theme for this year's 100 Women is progress. As a woman in music, has there been progress?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't paying so much attention now that Edward was past the punchline of his joke. I was staring at the gorgeous child by the door who is still staring at me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her little dimpled hands reached out toward me like she knew exactly who I was. Automatically my hand lifted to mimic hers. Edward, I said, leaning around Jasper to see her better, please. Jasper's teeth were set. He didn't move. Jas, this isn't anything you've seen before, Alice said quietly. Trust me. Their eyes met for a short second and then Jasper nodded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Struggling and reaching all this time while her expression got more and more irritated, let out a high, ringing wail. Everyone reacted as if, like me, they'd never heard her voice before. They swarmed around her in a second, leaving me standing alone, frozen in place. The sound of Renesmee's cry pierced right through me, spearing me to the floor. My eyes pricked in the strangest way, like they wanted to tear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Renesmee went to Jacob willingly enough, pushing her tiny hand against his cheek and then squirming around to stretch toward me again. See, Rosalie told him, she just wants Bella. She wants me? I whispered. Renesmee's eyes, my eyes, stared impatiently at me. Edward darted back to my side. He put his hands lightly on my arms and urged me forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's been waiting for you for almost three days, he told me. We were only a few feet away from her now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His face was more serene than I had seen it in a long time. Jake, I'm fine, I told him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It made me panicky to see Renesmee in his shaking hands, but I worked to keep myself in control. He frowned at me, eyes tight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like he was just as panicky the thought of Renesmee in my arms. Renesmee whimpered eagerly and stretched.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her little hands grasping into fists again and again. Something in me clicked into place at that moment. The sound of her cry, the familiarity of her eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of it wove together into the most natural of patterns as she clutched the air between us. Suddenly she was absolutely real. And of course I knew her. It was perfectly ordinary that I should take that last easy step and reach for her, putting my hands exactly where they would fit best as I pulled her gently toward me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jacob let his long arms stretch so that I could cradle her, but he didn't let go. He shuddered a little when our skin touched. His skin, always so warm to me before, felt like an open flame to me now. It was almost the same temperature as Renesmee's, perhaps one or two degrees difference. Renesmee seemed oblivious to the coolness of my skin, or at least very used to it. She looked up and smiled at me again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Showing her square little teeth and two dimples. Then very deliberately, she reached for my face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rewata with the exclamation point or the added emphasis. We're back here today. Finally going on with what I would call in the dragon age world, the lands meet AKA everyone getting back together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a giant little meeting, and there's people gonna be crabbing at each other. Most likely a fight breaking out, even with spells in place to keep that from happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I literally started, this is the second take of this because the first sentence confused me so hard and I finally figured out what the heck this was trying to say. And y'all are going to be like, oh yeah, that makes sense. But at the same time, when you're reading it like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, without the punctuation there to let me know that there's a break, I was getting a little confused. So with that, let's get into Chapter 43.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The chamber was, and was not, what I expected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deep cushioned oak chairs had been arranged in a massive circle in the heart of the room, enough for all the high lords and their delegates. Some, I realized, had been shaped to accommodate wings. It seemed it was not unusual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Peregrines are distinctly related to Drakon's Seraphim people and provide Theisen with a small aerial legion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rise said to me of the muscular golden armored males and females gathered. The male on his left is his captain and lover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Indeed the handsome male stood just a tad closer to his high lord. One hand on his fine sword at his side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No mating bond yet, Ryze went on. But I think they, son, didn't dare acknowledge it while Amarantha reigned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She delighted in ripping out their feathers one by one. She made a dress out of them once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried not to wince as we stepped onto the polished marble floor, the stone warmed with the sun streaming through the open archways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The others had looked toward us, some murmuring at the sight of Ryza's wings, but my attention went to the true gem of the chamber, the reflection pool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather than a table occupying the space between that circle of chairs, a shallow, circular reflection pool was carved into the floor itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its dark water was laden with pink and golden water lilies, the pads broad and flat as a male's hand, and beneath them, pumpkin and ivory fish lazily swim about. This, I admitted to Rise, I might need to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A right pulse of humor down the bond. I'll make a note of it for your birthday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More wisteria twined about the pillars flanking the space, and along the tables set against the few walls, bunches of wine-colored peonies unfurled their silken layers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were not the only ones to have dressed well. Rise and I halted halfway through the space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew them all. Remembered them from those months under the mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rise atop me their histories while we trained. I wondered if they sensed their power within me as their attention slid between us. Peace and gilded floored forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His embroidered exquisite shoes, silent on the floor. His tunic was tight fitting through his slender chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Flowing Pants, much like those Amarin favored, whispered with movement as he approached.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His brown skin and hair were kissed with gold, as if the sunrise had permanently gilded them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But his upswept eyes, the rich brown of freshly tilled fields, were his loveliest feature. He paused a few feet away, taking in Ryze and me, our entourage. The wings that Ryze kept folded behind him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thesamused, since you've called this meeting, perhaps you should be doing the welcoming?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A faint smile ghosted Ryze's perfect face. Shadows twining between the strands of his hair. He'd loosen the damper on his power. Just a bit. They all had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I may have requested the meeting decent, but you were the one gracious enough to offer up your beautiful residence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This thing gave a nod of thanks. Perhaps deeming it impolite to inquire about Ryzen's newly revealed wings. Then turn to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We stared at each other while my companions bowed behind me, as a Highlord's wife should have done with them. Yet I simply stood, and stared. Ryze did not interfere. Not at this first test. Dawn. The gift of healing. It was this gift that had allowed me to save Ryzen's life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That had sent me to the Suriel that day I had learned the truth that would alter my eternity. I offered Thiessen a restrained smile. Your home is lovely. But Thiessen's attention had gone to the tattoo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew he realized at the moment he noticed the ink cover the wrong hand, then the crown atop my head. His brows flicked up. Rise only shrugged. The other two high lords had approached now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Callius, where I said to the white haired one, whose skin was so pale it looked frozen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even his crushing blue eyes seemed like chips hewn from a glacier as he studied Ryza's wings, and seems to instantly dismiss them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wore a jacket of royal blue embroidered with silver thread, its collar and sleeves dusted with white rabbit fur. I would have thought it too warm for the mild day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially the fur-lined knee-high brown boots. But given the utter iciness of his expression, perhaps his blood ran frozen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A trio of similarly colored Haifei remained in their seats, one of them a stunning young female, who looked right at more, and grinned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More returned the beam, hopping from one foot to another as Calius opened his mouth. And then my friend squealed. Squealed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both females hurtled for each other, and Moore squealed and turned to a quiet sob as she flung her arms around the slender stranger and hugged her tight. The female's own arms were shaking as she gripped Moore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then they were laughing and crying and dancing around each other, pausing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To study each other's faces, to wipe away tears, and then embracing again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You look the same, the stranger was saying, beaming from ear to ear. I think that's the same dress I saw you in. You look the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wearing fur in the middle of summer. How utterly typical. You brought the usual suspects it seems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thankfully, the company has been improved by some new arrivals. More waved me over. It had been ages since I'd seen her shining so brightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I glanced at Thiessen and Callius, the latter of whom watched his wife and more with raised brows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried to suggest she stay at home, Callius said dryly, but she threatened to freeze my balls off. Rise let out a dark chuckle. Sounds familiar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I threw him a glare over Sparkling's shoulder, just in time to see the smirk fade from Calius's face as he truly took in Ryze. Not just the wings this time, my mate's own amusement dimmed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some thread of tension going taut between him and Callius. But I'd reach more in Vivian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And wipe the curiosity from my face as I shook the female's hand, surprised to find it warm. Her silver hair glittered in the sun like fresh snow. Why? Vivian said, clicking her tongue. You know, it still sounds strange to me every time someone says it. I keep looking over my shoulder as if it'll be someone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kelly said to none of us in particular, from where he remained facing rise, stiff-backed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've yet to decide if I find it insulting, since she says it every day. Vivian stuck out her tongue at him, but Moore gripped her shoulder and squeezed. It's about time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A blush stained Vivian's pale face. Yes, well, everything was different after Under the Mountain. Her sapphire eyes slid to mine and she bowed her head. Thank you for returning my mate to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mates? Morphized, glancing between them. Married? And mates?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You too do realize that this is a serious meeting, Ryze said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that the fish in the pool are very sensitive to high pitched sounds. Calius added.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vivian gave them both a vulgar gesture that made me instantly like her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rise like Ticalius with what I assumed was some sort of long-suffering male expression, but the High Lord did not return it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He only stared at rise, amusement gone again, that coldness settling in across his face. There had been tension with the Winter Court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More explained when they'd rescued Lucian and me on the ice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lingering anger over something that had occurred under the mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the third high lord had at last approached from across the pool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My father had once bought and traded a gold and lapis lazuli pendant that hailed from the ruins of an arid southeastern kingdom, where the fey had ruled as gods amid swang date palms and sand swept palaces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd been mesmerized by the colors, the artistry, but more interested in the shipment of myrrh and figs that had come with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few of the latter my father had snuck to me while I loitered in his office. Even now, I could still taste their sweetness on my tongue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still smell that earthy scent, and I couldn't quite explain why, but I remembered that ancient necklace and those exquisite delicacies as he prowled toward us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His clothes had been formed from a single bolt of white fabric. Not a robe, not a dress, but something in between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pleaded and draped over his muscular body, a golden cuff on an upright serpent encircled one powerful bicep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offsetting his near glowing dark skin and a radiant crown of golden spikes. The rays of the sun, I realized, glistened atop his onyx hair. The sun personified.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Powerful. Lazy with grace. Capable of kindness and wrath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nearly as beautiful as ricened and somehow, somehow colder than Callius.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His high fe entourage was almost as large as ours, clad in similar robes of varying rich dyes, cobalt and crimson, amethyst, some with expertly coal lined eyes. All of them fit and gleaming with health, but perhaps the physical power of them, of him, was the sleight of hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Verhelion's other title was Spell Cleaver, and his 1,000 libraries were rumored to contain the knowledge of the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps all that knowledge had made him too aware, too cold, behind those bright eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or perhaps that had come after Amarantha had looted some of those libraries for herself. I wonder if he'd claimed what he, what she had taken or if he mourned what she burned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even more N'Vivian halted their reunion as Helion stopped a wise distance away. It was his power that had gotten my friends out of Hibern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His power that made me glow whenever Ryze and I were tangled in each other. And every heartbeat ached with mirth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Helion jerked his square chin to rise. The only one of them, it seemed, not surprised by my mate's wings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But his eyes, striking amber, fell on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does Tamlin know what she is? His voice was indeed colder than Callius's and the question so carefully worded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rise drawled. If you mean beautiful and clever, then yes, I think he does. Helion leveled a flat look at him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does she know she's your mate? And hi, lady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi lady, Vivian squeaked, but more shuster, drawing her away to whisper. Decent and callous took me in, slowly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cassian and Azrael casually slid closer, no more than a night breeze.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he arrives. If I said smoothly, I suppose we'll find out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hylian let out a dark laugh. Dangerous. It was utterly lethal, this Highlord kissed by the sun. I always liked you, Raishan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Decent step forward. Ever the good host.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For that laugh indeed promised violence. His lover and the other peregrines seemed to shift into defensive positions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either to guard their high lord or simply to remind us that we were guests in their home. But Helion's attention snagged on Nesta. Lingered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She only stared right back at him, unruffled, unimpressed. Who is your guest?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The High Lord of Day asked a bit too quietly for my liking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kassun revealed nothing. Not even a glimmer that he knew Nesta. But he didn't move an inch from his casual defensive position. Neither did Azrael.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's my sister, and our emissary to the human lands, I said at last to him, stepping to her side. She will tell her story when the others are here. She is fey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No shit! Vivian muttered under her breath, and more snort was cut off as Callius raised his brows at them. Helion ignored them. Who made her? Thiessen asked politely, angling his head. Nesta surveyed Thiessen, then Helion, then Callius. Highburn dead, she said simply.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a flicker of fear in her eyes and her upraised chin. Stunned silence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'd had enough of my sister being ogled. I linked elbows with her, heading toward the low back chairs that I assumed were for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They threw her in the cauldron, I said, along with my other sister, Elaine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I sat placing nests upside me and gazed at the three assembled highlords without an inch of manners or niceness or flattery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alien's eyes blazed like a forge. That is a heavy accusation to make, especially of your former lover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Vivian muttered to Callius, jabbing him in the ribs. Why can't I be High Lady as well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The others arrived late. We took our seats around the reflection pool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These sends impeccably mannered attendance, bringing us plates of food and goblets of exotic juices from the tables against the wall. Conversation halted and flowed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mourn Vivian sitting next to each other to catch up on what seemed like 50 years worth of gossip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vivian had not been under the mountain. As her childhood friend, Calais had been protective of her to a fault. Over the years, had placed the sharp-minded female on border duty for decades to avoid the scheming of his court. He didn't let her near Amarantha either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't let anyone get a whiff of what he felt for his white haired friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who had no clue, not one, that he had loved her, in his entire life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in those last moments when his power had been ripped from him by that spell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Callius had flung out the remnants to warn her. To tell Vivian he loved her. And then he begged her to protect their people. So she had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As more of my friends had protected Volaris, Vivian had veiled and guarded the small city under her watch, offering safe harbor to those who made it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never forgetting the high lord and friend trapped under the mountain. Never ceasing her hunt for finding a way to free- freedom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially while Amarantha unleashed her roars upon his court to break them and punish them. Yet Vivian held them together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And through that reign of terror during all those years, she realized what Calius was to her. What she'd felt for him in return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The day he returned home, he'd win a right to her. She kissed him before he could speak a word. He then knelt down and asked her to be his wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They went an hour later to a temple and swore their vows and that night during the you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vivian grinned it more. The mating bond at last snapped into place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their story occupied our time while we waited, since more wanted details. Lots of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ones that push the boundaries of propriety and let decent choking on his elderberry wine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Calius smiled at his wife and mate, warm and bright enough that despite his icy coloring, he should have been the high lord of day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not the sharp-tongued brutal helium who watched my sister and me like an eagle. A great golden eagle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A great golden eagle with very sharp talons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wondered what his beast form was, if he grew wings like ricent and claws. If Thiessen did too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] White wings like the watchful Peregrines who kept silent. His own fearside lover not uttering a word to anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps the high lords of the solar quartz all possessed wings beneath their skin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A gift from the skies that their courts claimed ownership of. It was an hour before Thiessen announced, Tarkin is here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My mouth went dry. An uncomfortable silence spread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heard about the blood rubies, alien smirk that rise, toying with that golden cuff on his bicep. That is a story I want you to tell. Rise waved an idle hand. All in good time. Prick, he said to me with a wink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then Tarkin cleared the top step into the chamber, Varian and Cressida flanking him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Varian glanced among us for someone who was not there, and glowered when he beheld Cassian seated at Nesta's left. Cassian just gave him a cocky grin. I wrecked one building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, he had said once of his last visit to the summer court where he was now banned. Apparently even assisting them in battle hadn't lifted it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tarkin ignored Ryzen and me. Ignored all of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ryza's wings included, as he made vague apologies for this tardiness, blaming it on the attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Possibly true, or he'd been deciding until the last minute whether to come, despite his acceptance of the invitation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ian Helion were nearly as tense, and only Thiessen seemed to be on decent terms with him. Neutral indeed. Callius had become even colder, distant. But the introductions were done, and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An attendant whispered to Thiessen and Baran, and all of his sons had arrived. The smile instantly vanished from Moor's mouth, her eyes, from my own as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The violence simmering off my friends was enough to boil the pool at our toes as the High Lord of Autumn filed through the archway, his sons in rank behind him, his wife, Lucian's mother at his side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her russet eyes scan the room, as if looking for that missing son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They settled on Helion instead, who gave her a mocking incline of his dark head. She quickly averted her gaze.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had saved my life once, under the mountain, in exchange for my sparing Lucians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did she wonder where her lost son was now? Had she heard the rumors I'd crafted? The lies I'd spun?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't tell her that Lucian currently hunted the continent, dodging armies for an enchanted queen. Find a scrap of salvation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Varan, slender faced and brown haired, didn't bother to look anywhere but at the High Lords assembled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But his remaining son sneered at us, sneered enough that the peregrines ruffled their feathers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even Varian flashed his teeth in warning at the leer Crisida earned from one of them. Their father didn't bother to check them. But Aerys did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A step behind his father, Eris murmured, enough! And his younger brothers fell into line. All three of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether Baran noticed or cared, he did not let on. No, he merely stopped halfway across the room, hands folded before him, and scowled, as if we were a pack of Mongrels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Varan, the oldest among us, the most awful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ryze smoothly greeted him, though his powers was a dark mountain, shuddering beneath us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's no surprise that you're tardy, given that your own sons were too slow to catch my mate. I suppose it runs in the family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Erron's lips curl slightly as he looked to me, my crown, mate, and hi lady. I leveled a flat, forward stare at him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turned it on his hateful sons, on Eris.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eris only smiled at me, amused and aloof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would he wear that mask when he ended his father's life and stole his throne?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cassian was watching the would-be high lord like a hawk, studying his next meal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Airstained a glance at the Illyrian general and inclined his head in invitation, subtly patting his stomach, ready for round two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Eris's attention shifted to More, sweeping over her with a disdain that made me see red. More only stared blankly at him, bored. Even Vivian was biting her lip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she knew of what had been done to Moore, what Eris's presence would trigger. Unaware of the meeting that he had already occurred, the unholy alliance struck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ezreal was so still, I wasn't sure he was breathing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether Moore noticed, whether she knew that though she had tried to move past the bargain we'd made, the guilt of it still haunted Asriel. She didn't let on. They sat, filling in the final seats. Not one empty chair left. Said enough about Tamlin's plans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried not to sag in my chair as the attendants took care of the autumn court as we all settled. Decent as host began, Ricent, you have called this meeting. Pushed us together sooner than we intended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now would be the time to explain what is so urgent. Rise blink slowly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Surely with the invading armies landing on our shores explained enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Show you've called us to do what exactly, Helian challenged, bracing his forearms on his muscled gleaming thighs. Raise your unified army.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Among other things, Brian said mildly, we, it was almost the same, the entrance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost the same as the night in my family's cold cod- old cottage when the door had shattered and a beast had charged in with the freezing cold and roared at us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did not bother with the landing balcony or the escorts. He did not have an entourage, like a crack of lightning, vicious as a spring storm. He winnowed into the chamber itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my blood went colder than Calice's ice as Tamalin appeared and smiled like a wolf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that my friends was the end of chapter 43.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew he was coming. I knew Tamlin was coming. I was waiting. I was like, when's this, when's this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he, she's gonna be like, uh, no, sorry. And he's gonna be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like getting to see everyone. I like that I've made, um, Helion, uh, Sean Connery accidentally, but now that we've done that, uh, hopefully I remembered that for, for the posterity of the readings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know what? Let's take, let's take a little break here. Let's get back into it later. Uh, and see what Tamlin is, can really stir up trouble in this meeting. So y'all make sure to stay beautiful, stay hydrated, and I will see you in the next chapter. Bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fantastic day to start your week off, man. And speaking of starting the week off, man, the saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of quiet on the home front with a few things in terms of what they need to do, but we do see a couple of moves the Saints are making. We'll cover that and more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up in the building, much love to the Falcon family as well as they trying to get these stuff right. I'm going to talk about, talk about the Falcons a little bit in this show too, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About a move they made today, and like we said, the Falcons tired of losing, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and that's probably one of the only things that we share as a family base is the fact that they're tired of losing. We're tired of losing. They're actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really, we're ready to do something about it this year. So we'll cover a little news on that move that they made today to kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] BP, shout out to you, appreciate you. Quavadis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I seen something on Braille, I'mma have to do some more research on that brother Claude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And get back to you, man. I've seen him play a couple of times. I don't know enough to give a really educated opinion on it. So, you know, give me some time. Let me do a little research on that. And I promise you check back with me later on in the week. And I have a little breakdown on some of the running backs too, cause I'm working on the stream right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm doing some more research on a couple of running backs and some linebackers that I'm looking into. So appreciate the question fam. OG to the third degree shout out to you. Good to see you brother Derek and this thing Gundam shout out to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get the contract solved, free agency is, you know, the tampering period is here or whatever they call it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Free agency, uh, officially opens up with contracts become official on the 13th of this, you know, in a couple of days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Saints had plenty of time to kind of work it and get the contracts, everything they needed to do to get down to zero. And that's just, like I said fam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, a lot of people saying, well Q, man, you've just been so really tough on the Saints lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I try not to be, but it's a part of just telling the truth, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna just feed you a bunch of fluff. You know what I'm saying? Just so you can be doped up on happiness and hopium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you, you kind of trips off to your job or to your life. And I feel pretty good about the things today. I just don't do that. I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not going to depress you, but at the same time, we'll give you an optimistic real look. I'm not going to sit there and tell you that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the errors and the things that's going on with the team is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gonna eventually disappear. I'm sorry, I'm gonna give you the real, I'm going to be honest with you about a lot of stuff that's dealing with the black and gold. So it's just a part of what I do, you know, but, uh, that's a part of it, man. The saints had a lot of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Mickey Lumas and everybody above Mickey Lumas because it's a bunch of garbage going on right now with these people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, there's no accountability above Loomis. He could do whatever he wants. He's totally, uh, he's not a general manager. He's a mismanager of the team. He's more VP than anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need more of a qualified hands-on general manager that can pick up the vibe of today's NFL. That's not him. He's a, he's an old guy that's just passed his prime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think it's time for him to move on, but unfortunately there is nobody above him. Gil and Dennis Lucia that is going to make him move out the way for somebody else to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't see it as a need. They think he's doing fine, despite the fact that we missed three straight years of playoffs. As long as their balance books are good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're good. So we have to make sure we do that and we stay on code and make sure we do everything in this thing. So, I mean, it just, it just upsets me. You know, it's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's what we dealing with right now. So, uh, so anyway, please don't sign, uh, Maddox. He's injury prone, uh, and this, you know, and, and I don't know. This, this is something that really got me in a position where,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we need to face down and see what we can do about it. So I don't know, man, at the end of the day, we'll see what's going on with that. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, anyway, shout out to the fan. Appreciate y'all being in the building, man. Yeah, it been busy. Yeah, yes. We got a lot of stuff going on. What's up, brother Braden. Uh, Brandon, excuse me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's cold time. We need to stop all this bullshit, man. I'm just going to keep it a buck with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my point about this and they got people out there that'll just put up with it and they believe that's keeping it real and being a diehard when you don't question what the team is doing. Despite the fact that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're giving them money for this. You're buying a Jersey. You're, you're funding their businesses. You are, you know, you pay for their stadiums.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You pay for their utilities and you do all of that and they can't give you a winning team?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can't even give you the appearance that they're trying to do something. They can't even give you a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brother Josh, what's up with you fam? Good to see you in the building as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Philly, Philly and the rest of the fam appreciate y'all being. What's up, brother? St. John is in the building. Much love. How you doing? My fam appreciate you, brother. Uh, sky life and the rest of the fam, brother Greg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all give a, a subscribe to brother John, man, and his channel, man. He built it up. He got a lot of good work at his channel. He do a really good job. He just did a highlight film. Oh, that he put a con, a combination of different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Saints, uh, podcasters and people together that was really good, man. Get that brother some credit if y'all can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do me a service and give brother John a follow on his platform. Let's get him over a thousand. All right, Jermaine says, uh, you're right Q, we got, we got, that's what I've been saying. I've been saying this for some time, but when I say it, they got certain people out there and listen, my message is not for everybody. I'm not just trying to restrict people and say what I'm saying. I'm just saying, listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's what you gonna, what you're willing to put up with. You see what I'm saying? And I'm not saying that's indicative of football. I'm talking about in life, period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, let's get real for a second, man. Let's get real. One of the things I understand is don't put up with no disrespect, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you got people at your job or you got people, wherever you got them, do not tolerate any disrespect. You're better than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You as a person, don't, you know, don't tolerate it. And I'm talking to individuals right now, because if we all have that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As peep, as, as a person, then collectively, as people, we'll, we'll move a lot better. Don't put up with no, no, no disrespect from nobody. Don't you do it. You know, you, you don't put good money after bad. You don't fund off code people. We don't do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm big on code because you can't survive without it. You will die out here without a code. I'm serious. Serious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't compete in this society without having a code. I'm talking about a productive code, efficient code. Society, if it's not codified, it's nothing but chaos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so having a code and a code just means a set of morals, a set of morals and principles, traditions that you hold close to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you teach your children and your family about your family. You know, you see what I'm saying? The good and the bad. But you as a person, as a family, you know, you hold that strong, that strong morals and don't let nobody take that from you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause if you have that as a basis in yourself, as a foundation for yourself, it ain't none of this bull crap that they can tell you that would sway you to push you over there. It can't confuse you if you know who you are and what you're about. And I say all that to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that, man, you look at the New Orleans Sinks organization right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Couldn't you really say that they truly about changing some stuff? We got a guy here that's so off code, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And quarterbacks and people period are not supposed to lose their jobs due to injury. That's not something that they supposed to do, but he did do that. So it's crazy all it puts in his face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we see the kind of stuff he did. He had all of these crappy losses over the last couple of years. The missed playoffs. Did he ever apologize for any of that crap?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he didn't. Never. You're not worth an apology. But the only time he does is when he gets up there and apologizes to the Falcons for his team running the play that we shouldn't even known about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We knew it because he threw him under the bus in front of the press conference and apologized to the hated rival Falcons. So are we a, could we be possibly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Surprised by some of the players that don't want to play for him because he's off code like a dog and you got a general manager that's totally ignorant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's off code too because he's back in this dude. He's not telling them, no, you can't do that, bro. You gotta rectify that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't tell the quarterback that, you know, he comes back healthy a couple of years ago and ready to play. You tell them, you know, you know, now we're just going to keep Andy Dalton in there despite the fact that they needed a draw offensively speaking. You know, it's just ridiculous, man. And this is why this team is a joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you got a guy, this guy, the manager, if you won't call him, that sits up there and compares Dennis Allen to Bill Belichick, Bill Walsh. Are you kidding me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are off code people that don't know what they're doing, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, the only way, and then he'll lie to, he'll tell you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the Detroit game, when the family members gave up their tickets to Detroit, solely to Detroit, nobody said, oh, they needed the money. Damn, we understand, you know, people and stuff out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people needed the money, so, you know, they sold their tickets. I'm not happy about it. No, that's not what happened, and you know that's not what happened. They sold them Detroit tickets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's in the lower bowl section where you've seen all those people there because they was distraught and toe up about how stank the team was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he will lie about something as simple as that. Well, they did it because, you know, we're not winning right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I understand it. I don't like it. Well, do something about it. Open your goddamn...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Door and go talk to somebody, go do some speeches and evaluations during the season or you're too emotional to do it. See, I get all up into that because very, you know, people don't want to talk about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are we not, where are we supposed to be? Because you don't have any leadership there. You just gotta collect, you gotta check collectors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just collecting checks. And the only reason, the only way to break them out of that, if you break them checks off and stop them. That's how you do it fam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So don't go to these games is what I'm saying until they show you better. Anything else than that, you're being disrespected. It's money around, it's tightening this economy right now. And these people still making billions of dollars, at least hold them to a code where they got to show you that they trying to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they're listening to the people that support them with the dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not ignoring you and telling you that you are negative noise because I'm telling you that your coach is off code and he stinks. And you're validated by the fact that you keep losing any, this is three straight years of nine playoff births. So I mean, what are we doing here? What are we doing? What are we going to do here? So in order to make a long story short, bro, it's what it is, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, this is what it is. I'm telling you life lessons, I'm telling you life game, bro. You can apply to sports, you can apply to banking, you can apply to fitness, you can apply to whatever you want. I'm telling you, the game is universal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It don't make a difference. The Philadelphia Eagles is a clear team that is about winning. They are constantly in a state of movement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trying to pick up draft picks, signing players, moving, trading for players. They're constantly in a state of movement to improve their team. And as such, this is a team that's always seems to be in the playoff race, always seems to be up there as a top three or four team that's competing for the right to try to get to that bowl. Saints not even close to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't win without a code and a code has to be a code that is a positive code that is applied throughout the entire team from the owner on down. And that's what we got going on. I've been saying this for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gail needs to get an independent advisor that's not attached to the guys that Tom Benson left her. She needs to create an identity for herself and not that of what her past husband had transitioned. God rest his soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is her team now. She needs to have her identity on the team by hiring a football person that's not collected or connected to the Saints personnel or the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Building that's not there. They need somebody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then what they, you know, that, that can talk to her directly to her about and tell her what's going on with this team. They really do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are these people up at the top. They're not doing what they supposed to do. This is not a, this is not ran like a business, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just banking on you. They done got big fat and lazy is what I'm trying to tell you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's time for you to shake this loose and they're not going to do it, but for themselves, you got to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta do to have the lifting. They're not going to do it. They can't. They fail. They don't even have the right people in there and they pretending like they're doing. We know they don't have the right people. We know it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you can't win with that. You can't win with an off-code coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he, he's a snake in a weasel. You can't win with that. I'm sorry, you can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey James, it's Q. I've been thinking for a while, it would be stupid to trade Latimer. Extremely stupid, I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what if Vladimir wants to leave? Cause it has exactly the point. James, thank you for that comment. That's exactly the point. People are leaving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they don't believe in the team. Whose fault is that? You can't blame it on the defensive coordinator. You can't blame it on the offensive coordinator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't blame it on Derek Hart exclusively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know why? There is a guy that picked all of these people. He picked all of them. His name is Dennis Allen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's the head coach. He is the key decision maker when it comes down to football on the field. The general manager.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just look and see that this guy at times don't know what he's doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so it's, I'm just being honest with you. What kind, what kind, what we doing here, man?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you doing here? Last year, if you couldn't win last year, you had a soft schedule. You were playing a bunch of rookies. You were playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teams that he didn't even have the starting quarterbacks and the best you could do with a soft record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, uh, and a rookie ass NFC soft like what it was, was getting nine wins and missed the playoffs by one game again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the best we could have done last year. And guess what? You won't have that this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These people gearing up, they got Kirk Cousins in town in Atlanta now. They serious about some stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like I'm saying, man, I got to tell it like it is. And a lot of people ain't going to tell that cause they don't want to lose the goddamn press badges. But I guess what? I ain't got one and I don't need one to tell the truth. We got enough people going down there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't need to be smiling in their face trying to get answers to questions that most of them we already know. You know, so it is what it is fam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. So anyway, let's keep it bucking and moving, man. Let's get into it. I just covered my little spill. I'm sorry about that, fam. You know, I gotta keep it moving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yoshi, shout out to your fam, Yoshi 504, say A-O-Q. We off-season lit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hope all is well fam. Thank you bro. Appreciate you there for the super chat. Sir, much love to you. Thank you fam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got a lot of stuff going on, man, in this thing. DGX says, uh, Q Dennis Allen was ranked 29th of 32 coaches by the players and the three that was below him was all fired. And I've been saying that. Dennis Allen should have been fired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It should have been fired. I said that on the last stream. It's no way he should still have this job. It's too competitive in the NFL. The reason why he's still here is because you got a guy that's going against the family base.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fanatic to, from a religious standpoint, it just will make you a zealot. It's no positive connotation. So that's just a garbage can word. I just throw that away, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I replace it with family base because that is that actual support base of the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the support base of the team is what we're dealing with right here. So anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. So anyway, let's keep it going. Yeah. Gail's hands off. Let Mickey do it. Yeah. And then see, that's, that's a problem fam. Mickey Loomis doesn't know what he's doing, bro. That's what I've been telling people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's more VP than GM and a lot of stuff that he did was because Sean Payton was the one that was telling him, get me this guy, give me that guy and he would cook the books.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he would kick the can. That's what I say. He would cook the books and kick the can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it don't really, it really don't fit Ultimate Streams TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Says good evening fam, shout out to you. Thank you for the super chat fam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, it is what it is fam. But anyway, let's get into it. Let's cover some of these news and notes, man, in this thing, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Avanti Maddox for a free agent visit. And this is for somnola.com. Shout out to them. And what's interesting about this is the first thing that you hear from the saints in terms of free agent visits is a defensive back. Now there could be something to that might not be nothing to that. But the reality is we're going to cover the Mario's extension momentarily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what's interesting to it, I found it very interesting for them to be looking at Avanti Maddox, who was released by the Philadelphia Eagles, uh, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, a couple days ago, well, quite recently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now the sinks have them in for a look. Where would Avanti Maddox play?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, but anyway, New Orleans Saints are hosting former Philadelphia Eagles cornerback or defensive back of Ante Maddox for a visit, sourced with the knowledge of the situation. She said, Maddox is 27 and is free to meet with teams ahead of Wednesday's official start of free agency because he's already a free agent after being released by the Eagles last week. The former 2018 fourth round.

[Assistant] Pick spent six years in Philadelphia, but coming off two injury plague years, he appeared in four games last season. He missed most of the year with torn pictorial and only nine games in 2022.

[Assistant] Still when healthy, Maddox could potentially fill an area need for the Saints before the injuries. Maddox is one of the league's top cornerbacks inside of the slot. He signed a three year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 22 and a half million dollar contract extension in 21, just a couple of years ago. Now Maddox also has the versatility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To play outside, which would give New Orleans flexibility if they were to sign at the same saw inconsistent coverage from the slot position last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, they did see inconsistent slot coverage, uh, from the cornerback position. And matter of fact, a line tape Taylor was benched for some time for that eventually made it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But understand this, that's Allante Taylor's sophomore season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what I'm trying to say. Uh, we just remember with Paulson Adibo, not last year, but the year before Paulson Adibo struggled mightily in his sophomore season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what happens. Alante Taylor struggled in his sophomore season. He had in the sophomore slump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look what all of the stuff that happened. And a lot of that was because of the frustration with the offense that was going on and in him and car trying to cuss at him and tell him this. And this is coming from a dude that don't even look at half the field half the time. I mean, my goodness, come on, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you got the nerd to be talking about, just run, you know, and all that. Come on, bro. Do we really, you really want to play these games? You really want to go there with this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's the thing that happened with Chris Olavi last year. He had these struggles meeting up with the quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't know who, cause you could take Alonti, I mean, Chris Olavi and put him in any offense and he would thrive no matter what offense you have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could fit there and he can make plays for you. So for the great difficulty that was between him and car last year, all of the stuff that was just, it was just really hard on him, but credit to him that he was able to still have really good numbers. So he had some, some difficulty in that second year as well. It has, that's a common thread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what's going on here, you know? So anyway, inconsistent coverage from the slot position. He began the year with Alanty at nickel, though he struggles late in the year, led to coach Dennis Allen benching him twice down the stretch and I know almost replaced.

[Assistant] Hello with Ugo Amadi who's set to be a free agent. The NFL's league tampering window opens, uh, you know, it opened this morning. So what's the purpose on that? What's going on there with the first move you make in hosting the cornerback is Avante, it's bringing in Avante Maddox for a free agent visit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you bring it in, how does this affect or impact what the saints got going on from a rumor standpoint with a latte tail? What's going on with that? You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was, what's the, what was it, does this have an impact on that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if you look at the same starting cornerbacks currently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We all have Alante Taylor. So is Avanti Maddox coming in to be a fourth cornerback?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would look at that and say, hm, that's kinda, I don't know about that. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are the saints looking at kind of moving Alante tail of the safety?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, we didn't hear these. These are just ideas that we're throwing out there, but at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Avanti Maddox is a guy that just a couple of years ago is coming off a contract worth over what? He was getting paid what? 22 million, 22 and a half million dollars?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't see, look at Alant, Avanti, excuse me, Avanti Maddox and say, that dude right there is going to be a Don back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So where are, what's going on with the Avante Maddox thing? Could they just be snooping around here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very interesting that the saints are looking at Maddox here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As one of the first free agents that they bring in during this period to talk to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As opposed to an offensive lineman because you need to, you need a couple of those, you know, you could use a veteran wide receiver.
