[Assistant] Think of your unique talents and abilities. Think of your core skills, the things that you do exceptionally well that account for most of your success in your profession and in your personal life right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think of what an exceptional person you really are, all things considered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you do this exercise and create a personal inventory of all your best points, you accept yourself even more and you grow in self-confidence and self-esteem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon enough, you feel terrific about yourself and becoming even more dedicated to the realization of your full potential. Now, here's an exercise that you can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make a list of all of your best qualities of the virtues, values, talents and abilities that make you an extraordinary person, unique in all the world. From now on,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think about the most positive aspects of yourself and your personality and let the rest go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can create excitement. You can do wonderful promotion and get all kinds of press. And you can throw in a little hyperbole. But if you don't deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps production would increase if our scooter workers were allowed somewhat higher pay, since their food allowance is very low, frequently resulting in exhaustion.

[Assistant] The axillary nerve arises from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see this diagram that shows the axillary nerve and other branches from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The nerve supplies the deltoid muscle and the teres minor plus lateral shoulder sensation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And underneath, the shoulder joint capsule to enter the quadrangular space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The boundaries are the teres minor above, the teres major below, the long head of the triceps, medial, the humeral bone, lateral.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Immediately after passing through the quadrangular spaced axillary nerve divides into anterior and posterior divisions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The anterior division curves anteriorly under the deltoid muscle. It innervates the deltoid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the posterior branch supplies the theris minor and the rest of the deltoid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This close relationship to the joint makes the nerve more prone to injury from dislocation of the shoulder or fracture of the proximal part of the humerus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And observing contraction of the posterior head of the deltoid by having the patient abduct the arm against resistance and by moving the arm posteriorly and superiorly against this resistance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also try to look for deficiency in sensation around the shoulder area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The axillary nerve is fixed at the quadrangular space and is vulnerable to injury because it is fixed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is the most commonly injured nerve around the shoulder usually from trauma such as fracture or dislocation. So if you have a young patient unable to abduct the shoulder after an injury, it's probably an axillary nerve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if it is an older patient, probably a rotator cuff tear and not necessarily an x-ray nerve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The descending cervical plexus may supply sensation to the involved area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other muscles may help in abducting the arm, mimicking the deltoid function, even if the deltoid is paralyzed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another important point when we do shoulder surgery, we should avoid injuring the x-ray nerve. This is a diagram that shows the incision and where is the nerve and what is the danger zone and what is the optimal incision.

[Assistant] You needn't be afraid, miss. You wanted to be taken to the Gestapo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Freddy. You brought me a pack of cigarettes. I, I dropped them on the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why does that flatfoot have to know so much about this dame's love life? All he told me was, they caught her cheating last night. Myself, I figured it must have something to do with the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dear aunt, I cried, what an unexpected pleasure. We kissed each other, and I shook hands with Mr. Dick. Traddles left quietly, as he could see we would be discussing family matters. Peggy made some more tea for my aunt, who had sat down heavily on her cases. Dear aunt, I said, make yourself more comfortable. Sit in an armchair, or sit on the sofa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do you think I'm sitting on my cases? She asked, looking seriously at me. I shook my head, unable to guess. Because what I'm sitting on is all I have! Because I've lost all my money, my dear! I couldn't have been more shocked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the house and all of us in it had fallen into the River Thames. Yes, continued my aunt, putting her head calmly on my shoulder. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow, David, but tonight we must find a bed for Mr. Dich, and I'll sleep here to save money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That peggoty woman is very fond of you, David," she said. She's been offering to give us some of her money, the money she inherited from her husband. Of course, I refused at once. But she's a good woman. And she's been telling me about the trouble at Yarmouth. Yes. Poor Emily, I could not stop myself saying. Silly Emily, you mean. But I'm sorry for you, because you cared for her once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now Peggy tells me you're in love again." I blushed. I love Dora with all my heart, aunt. I suppose the little thing is very lovely, is she? No one can imagine how lovely she is. She isn't at all silly, is she? asked my aunt. I had never considered this possibility before, and could only repeat what my aunt had said. Silly, aunt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, well, I only ask, replied my aunt gently. David, you're very loving, like your poor mother, and you need a good, serious, sensible person to love. Aunt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you only knew how sensible Dora is, I replied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh David, she answered, blind, blind, blind. This made me feel a little uncomfortable, but I was glad she knew my secret. I thought perhaps she was rather tired, so I said good night. She went to my bedroom, and I lay down on the sofa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry to my neighbors and anyone who may be impacted by this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I've gotta play basketball again, and I've gotta beat Tommy. I've like gotta, gotta, gotta beat Tommy. But of course, I've gotta play Eva's somewhat Tommy team. I don't know. I don't know what to classify her as. Oh, this is a good start. No! No, how do we not hit these? We could be up eight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To three right now, but instead we're losing two to three. Cause we can't hit our threes. Dude, Tommy hit the... We suck!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] NOOOOO I didn't think he was ever gonna jump! And then of course I jump right after he does. Eat my ass, Eva.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes they just block everything. Other times, I just... I-I don't know, I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's always something, or a combination of things. Most of the time it's just that they block every freakin' shot on me. This time I haven't been blocked but once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] YES! We tied. We tied. We have a tie. We just cannot let them score here. Oh no. There is so much time. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, we've gotta-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, smack! Yes! Yes! We have a chance to win! We have a chance to win, we have a chance to win, we have a chance to win. Who do we give the final shot to? Oh my god, there's so much pressure on this one. Oh, he's wide open. He's open. Yes! Yes!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to tie that bitch! The fucking succubus! This is Tommy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is where it begins, all of a sudden it turns night time and they just- It's like the Drake song, they come alive in the night time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just too good! I don't know, I don't know how to get around it anymore. I, I don't, it's, it's a completely different game. Finally get a shot off, of course we don't make it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm surprised she didn't block that somehow. And I see all of you who tweet me your pictures of you beating Tommy. And guess what? I don't fucking know how you do it. Your Wii's cracked. I-I don't get it. TWO POINTS! The longest two pointer in history!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He won't miss no matter what. It's 17 to 4. Yea, who's defending her?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys grab an ass over there, no one's defending the bitch. Game two against Tommy, let's see if we can do any better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then our, our shots are just the most god-awful things you've ever seen in the world. I don't need your, your frickin' thing to tell me A or, or D pad to pass. What the? Why are you putting this on my screen? No, that doesn't, that shouldn't even count.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are these so off? I cannot stand that thing at the bottom. I don't want to look at that the entire time. That's throwing off my game. Oh, she still blocked that. I would have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit all over the floor. There was no stopping me there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a better frickin' shooting percentage in basketball in real life. And that's ridiculous to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A fifth grade basketball team can hit threes better than we can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It takes the lid off the salt and just pours it in my wounds. This game just comes up with new ways. Every day, every time I pick up Wii Sports Basketball, I think, oh, this is gonna be the same thing again. No, there's always some new bullshit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, like it knew I just thrusted my Wii Remote further that time to make it go OVER the basket instead of in it. Eva, I don't know how you have s-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How the fuck does she do it? I almost choked on my own. Watch, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just standing next to his own teammate like, oh, this is, this is a good place to play offense. I'll just stand right here in your way. What do I have to do? I'm faking her out now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how we can win games, only making maybe 2 out of 15 shots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have completely lost touch with how to shoot a basketball on Wii Sports Resort. I don't know if my sensitivity's up or what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I guarantee you, the second I let up on a shot, it's gonna go way short.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, we will never know. We may never know again, because I will get my shit stuffed. Isn't that a foul?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what I thought, Eva. Mr. Slam Dunk, you freakin' pushed over, plowed over my team. You should probably be DQ'd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What does it matter? Even if we get these miraculous open shots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time we do that, why do you walk into him like that? He fucks us every time we do that!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this is my retirement plan. I am going to be posting videos of me trying to win in Wii Sports basketball against Tommy for the next 50 years of my life. How do you guys beat Tommy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am so utterly confused. Does he miss more on your councils? Like is he just misprogrammed on my, on my Wii? To be uh, you know, too good? Am I programmed to just be too stupid? And what do we do? We go for the old throw it at their hands. Not what I wanted to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But of course my, my characters think that my int- I am so shitty at basketball that they don't even know. They think that it's realistic for me to want to just pelt it at their hands. And I've seen, I've seen your tweets and stuff telling me how to do it. And comments telling me how to FUCK MYSELF.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen your comments telling me how to beat them and stuff like that, but it's seriously not working. I see your comments always, always swing at the ball so it gets them to do two pointers, and then you just gotta make threes. Well I've been trying that, and I keep on missing every fucking three I take.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's not working for me, I end up losing, like, by a shit ton. And, and my, I don't know, is my offense like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is my offense just really dumb or what? They are never open. They are always on top of each other. Oh my god, alright, alright. If we make a three here, we're winning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How quickly it goes from, oh we're about to, you know, tie or take the lead to, well now this game's out of reach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's how it goes every time I have this golden opportunity to take the lead. And it never, ever, ever plays out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why not take a break? Yea, that's a great idea, wee. Maybe you can hear my anger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god. We're like standing in her potato salad yet we still can't fucking block the ball. Coulda swore you'd jump there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He never misses his threes. He should probably join the NBA. This is Wii Sports Basketball, buddy. Can you turn the volume down like six decibels, please?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not gonna get a fuckin' NBA contract, shootin' threes at 100% on Wii Sports Basketball Tyrone. And of course she makes it, and of course she swats the ball away from me, cause she's a cunt! She has no f-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chill. This is a fun f-ing Wii game and these people have no f-ing chill. Like, isn't the purpose of the Wii to be family-friendly, frickin'...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In all my times playing this game, I have never missed this many times. But for some reason, how, how didn't we just not steal that there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My god, it's the second they get open. The second my other player that I'm looking to pass to gets open. They swat the ball from me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm done. I'm done. I've lost my patience for today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The day I beat Tommy is probably the day the world ends. That's, that's the bottom line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this Wii console and disc is rigged. In all, every Wii remote I ever touch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other girl who had lifted her head to listen to her sister, repeated while she gazed at the fire a line of what had been read. At a later day I knew the language and the book, therefore I will here quote the line, though when I first heard it


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She exclaimed, while her dark and deep eyes sparkled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you have a dim and mighty archangel fitly set before you. The line is worth a hundred pages of first-in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A far larger country than England, where they talk in no other way. Well, for sure case. I no doubt they can understand one t'other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if either of you went there, you could tell what they said, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could probably tell something of what they said, but not all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For we are not as clever as you think, Arsena. We don't speak German, and we cannot read it without a dictionary to help us. And what good does it do you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We mean to teach it sometime, or at least elements, as they say, and then we shall get more money than we do now. Very like. But give our worth studying. You've done enough for tonight. I think we have. At least I'm tired. Mary, are you? Mortally!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, it's tough work fagging away at a language with no master but a lexicon. It is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially with such a language as this crabbed but glorious Deutsch. I wonder when St. John will come home. Surely he will not be long now. It is just ten. Looking at a little gold watch, she drew from her girdle. It rains fast. Hannah, will you have the goodness to look at the fire in the parlour? The woman rose. She opened a door through which I dimly saw a passage. Soon I heard her stir a fire in an inner room. She presently came back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looked so lonesome with the chair empty and set back in the corner. She wiped her eyes with her apron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two girls grave before look sad now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's in a better place," continued Hannah. We shouldn't wish him here again. And then nobody need have a quieter death nor he had. You say he never mentioned us? inquired one of the ladies. He hadn't time bared. He was gone in a minute, was your father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'd been a bit ailing like the day before, but not to signify.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when Mr St John asked if he would like either of you to be sent for, he fair laughed at him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He began again with a bit of a heaviness in his head the next day, that is a fortnight sin, and he went to sleep and never wakened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would almost start when your brother went into the chamber and found him. Ah, childe, that's last of old stock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For you and Mr. St. John is like a different sort to them at Scone. For all your mother will meet you your way, and almost as Buckland. She will the picture of you, Mary. Diana's more like your father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought them so similar I could not tell where the old servant, for such I now concluded had to be, saw the difference. Both were fair complexioned and slenderly made, both possessed faces full of distinction and intelligence. One, to be sure, had hair a shade darker than the other, and there was a difference in their style of wearing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mary's pale brown locks were parted and braided smooth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Diana's duskier tresses covered her neck with thick curls. The clock struck ten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll want your supper, I'm sure. Observed Hannah. And so will Mr. St. John when he comes in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ladies rose. They seemed about to withdraw to the parlour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until this moment, I had been so intent on watching them, their appearance and conversation had excited in me so keen an interest, I had half forgotten my own wretched position. Now it occurred to me. More defilite, more desperate than ever it seemed from contrast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how impossible did it appear to touch the inmates of this house with concern on my behalf, to make them believe in the truth of my wants and woes, to induce them to vouchsafe arrest for my wanderings. As I groped out the door and knocked at it hesitatingly, I felt that last idea to be a mere chimera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hannah opened. What do you want? she inquired in a voice of surprise, as she surveyed me by the light of the candle she held.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think today, I'm going to try to get to max level at Wii Sports Baseball. I believe the max score is 2000. And then I really, really beat Wii Sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or it's over 2000. I don't even know. I don't know how this scoring shit works in Wii Sports. All I know is that I gotta keep beating Sakura's ass until I get to skill level 2000. That is today's goal. Uh, today's goal might get modified to just be beating Sakura once with how it will go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knowing my luck with baseball, it never goes that well. I'm actually feeling pretty good, I feel like I'm in the game today, like I'm reading these balls pretty well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just not swinging on time. So I was reading... Fuck!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was reading until I shook out. So I guess the best strategy is to let Helen just throw a bunch of balls. Wait, Helen? Sakura. You gotta let her get tired, so you gotta let her throw as many pitches as possible. Pfft. FUCK! God bless. Now that's frustrating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, that thing got to the frickin' stands in .5 seconds. Is that even possible? How did she hit that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We better catch this. I swear to god. Thank you, myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last time I played this, I thought we had a case of the Dropsies every frickin' time. I'm gonna, I'm gonna carry out on this strategy to let her- OW!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this strategy isn't very fun. It's great to just stand here and watch her throw strikes and balls and whatnot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God damn, I hate that strategy. That strategy is so stupid, it's boring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just stood there with my bat in the air and got fucked. Oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's lightly jogging over there like she had it in the bag, then she doesn't even get- oh great. I always love it. When I accidentally throw the ball. Oh, but there's the effort we're looking for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no. Oh no no no no, my team is not catching that. That is FAR too easy to catch for my team. So we're not gonna catch it. That would be Mercy rule right there, so thanks for fucking me outfield. Hopefully we get some more-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Energetic people in the outfield this time. Oh, we got beef, boss. We should be better. Her first pitch is 105 miles an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First frickin' splitter we go to throw, you don't fuckin' understand what I'm trying to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, he gets the convenient hop from the rock on the ground to go over everybody so we can't just get an out. That's awfully nice. This ain't looking good. It's looking like we might get Mercy the first inning on this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, yeah, that's the road we're on right now and we're not getting off it, that's for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My team's out there fucking hustlin' for it and we don't even get to it! I crack one out there, it's always right where he happens to be standing already! Oh, this should be at least a double. No. Fuckin' don't turn your ass towards me, Sakura.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to fucking throw it at me to get a cheap foul ball strike. That's great, Sakura. You're a real piece of shit. Is what you are. A cheating piece of shit. Alright, I think I've changed the goal for today to just beating Sakura once again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm hitting everything now. I am changing my strategy. I'm so sick of just standing there with my bat in the air like a fucking dildo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About what strategy says. Standing there, doing nothing, is boring as hell. And frustrating as hell. Because you stand there and do nothing for so long, and then you just strike out. That pisses me off beyond belief. Honestly, I'm- no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I still- I still wasn't able to do anything. Because, Pierre's ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Top or bottom, I don't, aah, it frustrates me that I don't know what the top and bottom is. I'm gonna have to Google that so I can get it right. Top of inning versus bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I don't score at least one run in the top of the first inning, I am restarting the game! I'm glad I could clarify that for myself and you. Finally say the right words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We cannot hit it anywhere but right into them. That's not gonna go far enough, I bet. If that goes far enough, I will suck someone's dick here. Alright. Nevermind, I didn't say that. Alright, I'm gonna pull a Sekira and throw a Splitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm not gonna throw a splitter. My very first pitch, we get fucking confused. I don't- I- Is my A and B button not clear to you? Myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, you swing at the one that isn't a ball. That's very convenient of you, Helen. You are so fucking smart, Helen. But you will never fucking get laid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Putting a ripper over the freaking door of the explorer. Wow, I am the man on the team. Every single one of those outs were because of me. How come she gets to throw over a hundred mile, over a hundred mile an hour balls, but I can never get


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I'm about to fucking just shit on the floor right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I could throw 110 fucking miles an hour too! But apparently, I'm not female enough for that, cause this game's sexist!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All her balls look so similar. I don't know how to tell if it's gonna be a strike or a ball on half these. So, it's a crap shoot for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe if I had a frickin' 10 million dollar MLB contract, I'd be able to fuckin' read these. But I don't!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuck's sake! Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. I already don't like how that's going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blast. I'm swinging at a ball that might as well be where I'm teeing a frickin' shot in golf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love it when they turn part kangaroo. Oh no, Steve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The frickin' passion that that guy has runnin' after balls. There, uh, nope. There we go. No, it's not. Not who is it, Pierre. It's whatever. ComoFoco. Or whatever the fuck his name is. Oh, there we go. I was waitin' for that big th- Nope. Nevermind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ComoFoco fuck me asshole. Oh, that's gone. That is gone. Don't even think about catching that Pierre. Or Steve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love how she gets to keep her team every single time she gets the same players in the same positions. Tell me that doesn't help her team chemistry while I'm stuck with whatever the frick the Wii wants to give me out of my Mii selection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and my bat is part ghost. The ball is going right through it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First caught on camera on YouTube and Wii Sports Baseball. Is anyone surprised right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That even if I hit it nine times out of ten, it's going right into one of their gloves. As I said, I'm trying to do different things, I'm trying to use my D-pad, you know, the A and B buttons to vary up my pitches, and they just blast them. Alright, I'm gonna throw it fast and down the middle, Steve, alright?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I hit it there. Why would they put a hit it here sign in the foul ball section? Fuck this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will that go far enough? This time I'm definitely voting not far enough, right in Pierre's ass. Wow. Man, I am oh for a lot on that today. Man, she's throwing some night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was frickin winning and I still, I still went to start over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of how much I hate Pierre. I don't want to give Pierre that satisfaction at the end of the day if I ended up losing that game. That him catching that ball was any part of the reason why they won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am such an asshole at this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great dive, Helen. Maybe now you can afford that frickin' lip reduction surgery. Now why? Why wha- NO!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our pitching just went from, oh yeah, we're, we got it on to fricking everything I throw. Is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have never scored more than two runs in an inning, so something tells me I won't, won't be able to do that here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That only gives us one point though. Ugh. Eat me. Pierre would have caught that. This remote was going anal. It was gonna turn into a submarine. Oh my god! GO! GO! YES!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, I just scored how many? Six runs in one inning. No way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we just cannot, we cannot take our foot off the gas here. Fuck, no, no, no, no!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whew! Alright, we have Sekira right where we need her to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, I've, I have, after everything I've been through today playing Wii Sports Baseball, this is, I feel so alive right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in reality, she just gets the easiest balls going for her every time. If I let off a four point lead here, I am going to wreck. I can't make any promises because there's gotta be at least a 60% chance that I'm still gonna lose this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one's on the bases and we have one out to get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're one strike away again, but we're also one double away from losing this. So I'm gonna go...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you lord and baby Jesus for finally giving me win a win. I'm a little emotional right now. We scored. Call us a third inning team. Eight runs in the third inning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To squeeze by with the one point dub. Oh shit, we gotta play oscar now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, that entices me. I'm, I'm ready for a new foe. Abby would rather eat my wiener than yours, Oscar. Your wiener is tiny like your fucking face. Oh, Abby's gonna get that ball. Abby, get it! Get it, Abby! Oh, Abby!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, this is going nowhere real quick, so I think that's where we're gonna stop for the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Constance, is that Ada's voice I hear?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were born in 1854, that makes you over 40, doesn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you? Do you remember the titles of these two poems, Mr. Wilde?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, one was called in praise of shame, and the other two loves. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hate when I get distracted. I think the last time I played Wii Sports Resort and going pro in every sport, I did Swordplay Speed Slice. Then I went to Sho- No, I didn't do Sho- I don't think you go pro in Showdown, do you? Is there skill level in Showdown? Oh no, there is skill level in Showdown, isn't there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't believe it. I was only blocked once that entire time and that was it. I was untouched by the way. I do. Shit. We're playing Swordplay Showdown today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But these early levels are so easy, I'm hoping that I can get, I can get brawl before it gets hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how I lost a heart on that, considering this is as easy as-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Poop. 83. I don't really get much less experience for getting hit. This might be easy. This might be easy. But I might be wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well, uh, nevermind. I get blocked a couple times, I'm already ready to start swearing at the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I really don't need to, cause that's, that's perfect. I think, I'm guessing that's as much as you can get as a hundred. I don't know what the other factor is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To getting more skill points, I guess maybe time? You go through it quicker, you get more skill points?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was baloney. I thought Theo was gonna s- Luca.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I was asking the Snapchat AI yesterday about myself. Because I'm, what do you call yourself when you're, when you talk, only talk about yourself? What do you call that? Like you're, you're a c- or something? I can't say that. Uh, you're, you're full of yourself. Theo, Theo's up to no good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyways, I talked to the Snapchat AI, I was asking it about myself. Abby! Girlfriend!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it said my catchphrases is, it's a me, Mario, is one of my catchphrases. And I need to, I need to start saying that some more, I suppose. Or, oh my gosh. I don't know, I'm trying to recall the conversation. Regardless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it thought my catchphrases are all things I never say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It did say, though, I accidentally once broke a Wii Remote, but it was accident. It was an accident. So, anytime I break a Wii Remote, just remember, we're getting frickin' cock-blocked a ton here. It's an accident. Ooh, you tried. How do I go through that one perfect? He was doing a handstand, or, handstand? Head, eh, I don't know. He was using his head as a foot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Na, na, na, na. I will slap you with my blue sword. Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember doing this good at swordplay before. We're on, we're on really good pace. If we can keep getting 100s, this might be one of the quickest sports I've gone pro in, but I'm sure something's gonna go wrong. The key is to kinda just like, wave at them. Okay, Martin. Martin be fartin'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that was, that was a pretty cheeky little block there. Shouldn't have sucked me was our biggest issue yet. That was some good block in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm almost flabbergasted when they block it now. I somehow figured out this game. Welp, welp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't know what those noises were, that's my creative side coming out. Oh, that's not good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not a good sign right there. My arm is legitimately sore. I am-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sword? Uh, sword. I'm flailing a lot. Okay. I'm flailing a lot more than usual, but it's working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know for a fact that I was never doing this well at, uh, that was okay. At, uh, Swordplay Showdown as I am, ooh, I thought Abby was gonna get me there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had, she had that, that sword cock like she was really... Oh, that, that, that's tricky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Woo! That was good. And this is the final little bit here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was the only hit I got, is Naomi. And I really didn't need to take that hit either. My arm is getting sore though, I'm getting fatigued. I still get 100 points for that though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if I get hit once, we are CRUISING!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how many stages in we are. We gotta be getting close. I think there's only ten. We almost beat Swordplay Showdown. We almost beat it. But then there's reverse, of course, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't block that. That was bullshit. Luca? That was a block?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, you know, who are we, who are we asking all of a sudden? Oh boy, this is where it gets hard, doesn't it? Everyone's blocking so much better suddenly. Even, even freaking stupid's like, stupid head there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I just don't agree. I just don't agree sometimes on these, on what's considered a black for them and what's considered a black for me. And now this time, Abby's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do we go from just, we were dominating, how do we, what, what changed? What changed is, like everything's counted as a block now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hate Naomi. I thought she was gonna be a big problemomi there again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do I say that means anything to this game? My arm is sore. Give me 100, please. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I only need two more rounds. Except, I think there's only one more round before it was a reverse. Yea, this is it. This is the final round of normal swordplay showdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was better than I expected. Cautiously optimistic here, but that's the last level. Swordplay in reverse stages now. DutyDude's a legend, to be honest. Perfect 10. I would imagine this is, this is now easier than what I was just playing, although Michael's a little bit of a hoopie. Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second one I was blocking and you still hit me, that's, you know, I'm not, I'm not gonna compromise for your bullshit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our sword is in his frickin' potato salad and it wasn't pounding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Easy. That time I didn't get any hearts gone because I wasn't bullshitted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Going Pro and Swordplay Showdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very quickly, really. Another 100. If I got my shit together the first couple rounds, we probably already would've been pro then. But, yea, I'm-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm done. I remember struggling at Swordplay Showdown. A lot more than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I played through Swordplay Showdown, just trying to beat all the levels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I guess, uh, I've grown older, older. I've grown wiser with my sword. I know how to use it now. Hit me up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stop babbling like a fool. The girl must be found. You take your men and search every house in the city if need be. You find Scheherazade and bring her here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be it known to all loyal subjects that any person bringing news of the whereabouts of the dancing girl Scheherazade and her companions to the summer palace of the Caliph will be richly rewarded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every bone in your body shall be broken if you continue to defy me. The blind beggar said you sold Shahrazad into slavery. Is that true?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say that he lives till he speaks. Yes, my lord. I am going now to find her. No power on earth can keep me from that. And if when I return you're still alive, I promise you an eternity of suffering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are the men? Yes, Lord, yes. And I swear that I did not know that... Silence! Where is she?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forbidden? No man but the Caliph and the Lord Vizier can enter the harem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boys grow fast. I'll be off with you. You cannot alight here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make a prayer then, that you won't have to do it in such a heat as this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uhm, I know this is an anecdote, but I'm ready for it. Uh, I know that what you want to talk about is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, so the situation you're talking about, Conan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These Brazilian kids are crazy for this word, velcro. Do you know what this is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great, and there's other, uh, characters there from, uh, Sense8, now The Funked, uh, Sense8, great show, Daredevil, The Blind Show, uh, and he's a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanna say, uh, pretty much everybody was game, uh, and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you know, now I'm on the line, on the FaceTime with Freddie, lovely Freddie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, maybe I don't want to have the orgy. Uhm, and uh, it got very, later, later in the day. Everybody had to be up at 5 a.m.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's, it's, it's a very, uh, it's a surreal thing, our lives as a whole. Uhm, but it's, we're, uh, very grateful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, how did you start working together? It was like 2015. I was 13, he was 17. Uhm, and it was kind of, I don't, it wasn't a joke, but we kind of had this like, I don't know, I remember Phineas one time was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, uh, I, I do know that we've been wanting to, to make a Bond song for years. And I remember at the beginning of last year, it was like, we kind of told our whole team like, hey, if, if any Bond things come up, we want to be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we had an intense amount of writer's block as soon as it was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's because of the studio, to be honest with you. We don't work well in studios. I just, it does not, it doesn't do the same thing. Uhm, and then I think after that day, we...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finneas came up with this chord progression and immediately we were just like, ohhhhh. We wrote the whole song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had a meeting with Barbara Broccoli in Ireland in like the beginning of September.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She came to a show and she basically gave us like a little hint of what the first scene of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. So like before the opening credits, she sent us the script and it was so cool to read that. So we had what the audience will have watched before they hear the song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, that's all we had. But it was really, really helpful. It was, it was, it really wrote the song for us, I feel like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meaning what though? Like, got it right, you think we- That you were happy with it. You think that we were- we felt we were good. Uhm- No, that you were happy with it. We- I was super happy with it. Yeaah. I think we- I knew that we'd made ours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were worried before we had made it, because we had a couple ideas and they just, I was, I was anxious, I was like, this isn't Bond, you know, and I think once, uhm, we wrote it, I was super happy with it, I really was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I, I was pretty excited. I was kind of only excited. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also because, you know, we did some things in the song that we've never done before and I was excited for people to hear that we can do them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got a big say in it. We learned that from this. I didn't, I didn't think that would happen, but he's, he's really involved, so he could have beaten it, wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't get starstruck, but I was terrified. Why? Horrified. I was terrified. Why? Cause, why not? It was so scary! It was so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's not, like, okay, the difference between the Oscars and the Grammys being a musician is the Grammys are your people. Grammys are people that do what you do, you do what they do, you're in the same group, you know? Big or small, you are, you all make music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the Grammys, at least I knew a lot of the people already, so I didn't have this feeling of like, oh my god, all these famous people I've never met before. And at the Oscars, it felt scary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stopped like two days ago. Just two? Okay. Literally two days ago. Have you stopped stop? Uhm, I stopped reading comments. Fully. Because? Because it was ruining my life. Was it? Once again. Yeah. Uh, yeah. It's weird, like the, the, the, uh, the cooler the things you get to do are, the more people hate you. It's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know dude, it's crazy, cancel culture is insane, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say anything to make somebody laugh. You know, I've experienced that back in, you know, growing up I'd say things that I thought people would laugh at and then later I realized that wasn't cool to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's insane that I even have been reading comments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up until this point, I should have stopped long ago. It's just the problem is I've always wanted to stay in touch with the fans and like keep talking to them and like people have ruined that for me, so. And for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for them. They've ruined it for them. Uhm, and that sucks. So I, I still try to like, you know, like fan posts or whatever and, and especially like, you know, if I see fans anywhere, like I just want to talk to them and like, you know, be around them because they're people. Like they're, they're me. Like they're me. They're like, they're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other me's, uhm, and so they're like friends of mine, but yeaah, the internet is ruining my life, so I turned it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did try to go. I went to Costco. Listen, I went. I, uh, it was, it was, it could have been worse though. It was fun. I had a good time. It was like, the only people that came up to me were like nice. It was a lot of people, but it was like, it was good. It was nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, uh, I don't know, but the, the, I don't know, I can't, it's so funny, like people,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's this thing that people think is I guess funny where they like will dress up as an artist and like go out in public and then like a mob follows them and I'm like, y'all are so stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's so stupid, honestly. There was one I liked that was a girl pretending to be me and she was, it was the only one that I liked. She, she was like cute and like funny and like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She actually, at the end of the video, she was like, wow, this is what Billy's life is like. Like, that's so crazy. I respect you, girl. But then the rest of them were just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's dangerous. It's so dangerous. You think I'd be going to the mall? Like, why would I, why would I be at the mall? That's what I don't understand. It's like, all these people like following this person who actually isn't me, I feel so bad for them. Cause it's like, they're like, oh my god, we just met her and it's not even me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just nervous to hit the belt. To hit that high note. I'm terrified. First time ever. So please take it easy on me. I'm scared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean I warm up, that's about it. We really, we really don't have rituals. People do that like huddle and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it's a new, we've never performed it ever. It just like, up until the day it came out, we've been keeping it a secret for months. So it feels so weird that it's like in the public and especially now that I'm performing it and I'm hitting a note I've never hit before. I'm scared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose the whole thing really started with my brother, Henry. Henry's a nice, comfortable, contented sort of person with a wife to match. Grace and Henry were very much in love and able to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Every Friday they would toddle off to the local movies. They seldom knew what they were going to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't really matter. What mattered was that they, they went together. On this particular and somewhat fateful Friday, they found out that they'd seen the film before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hate rows and accusations. Of course. Attacking her, disgracing her, and treating her like a criminal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You mean that, but you said this now, but uhm, that you wouldn't marry me even if I were free?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's romantic, blossom-filled best. To an explosion of flowers bursting brazenly out of fields and hedgerows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The countryside presented its brand new spring collection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, ah, get it over. Uhm, what am I supposed to say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That in the entire history of this world, no man ever yet had any pleasure out of a woman without having to pay for it. You'll have to marry the girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in that case, where have you... Where are you getting the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's true. Oh. Oh. Oh yes, that's true. She, she was ill for one week before and it was a fortnight before she could join me. Yes, I see. I suppose that's it then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I have. I'm pretty sure that you left Dr. Hewitt as a patient in order not to run the risk of compromising him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's a funny thing, for years I'd fancied being a bachelor again, and now I was one. I hated it. Elizabeth had gone, she didn't even write. The world was full of lovely and attractive girls, but not my world. Yes, hello, what is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no. Dear Hewitt, I find your suggestion that we should meet somewhat surprising.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should have thought under the circumstances that such a meeting would be as distasteful to you as it is to me. However, as you are obviously not of this opinion, you may come to this office at five o'clock on Thursday next. Yours faithfully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Darling poons, how is she? She's very well. The wonderful woman, Hewitt, the really wonderful woman, you know that? Yes, I uh, I think so too. Now tell me all about it, are you happy? Yes, frightfully. Good. Now Hewitt, look, if it's alright with you, I'd like to push this divorce through rather quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, I have a logistical question while we are, uh, while the break lasts. So, uh, this is analysis hybrid seminar, but there was no one-on-one. Or it's not an, or a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suppose we have an equivalence, and suppose we know this bounded homological, uh, uh, bounded homological amplitude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this determines all the finite. Yeah, then, then we'll get some, uh, uh, we'll get some, uh, uh, uh, object which, uh, uh, differs from our object we want to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, understand, uh, by something in the homological degree like minus million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if we know bounded, uh, then yes, we can compute the image by if we know how to compute the image.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if we start with an object which is like a homological degree more than minus hundred,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we go to minus million and then we apply it to this perfect complex. And then we truncated minus 200. Then we get the answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, I don't know what sort of fans you want, of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Initially I just wanted to compare these two categories because this is what's suggested by, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then just this perfect occurrence comes up, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I don't know if I meant anything too concrete, uh, it's just that, uhm, you know, you often, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Functions here, it's easy to define a pullback, but for generalized functions, maybe you can have the tool map, etc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Generated by this, uhm, antispherical projector. I mean, this sign which


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so one way to think about it is, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so if we, uhm, apply causal duality, and so, so, so, so, so, so this, uh, hat is in this monodromic category, which is causal dual to the bi-equivariant category.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, so then this psi hat goes just to the constant, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I think the, uh, two-sided ideal is the, uhm, minimal cell ideal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I'll talk next time about this fact that the self-filtration corresponds to just filtration by orbits on the unipotent cone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's conjunction-valuistic and, uh, but this, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because Uldayevich's interchange is support with this, uh, cohomological support in the sense of her inking gaze, Gary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, yeaah. Well, this match is affected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfect categories have things with zero singular support in this sense, and then there are some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For objects in this, uh, big CYBER category, the, um, homological support is important, but then you can have this filtration by, uh, important orbits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I wouldn't say like this cell subcultures are not described in terms of parabolics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there are things to understand here. I mean, like a couple of weeks ago, there was this talk, uhm, by David Kajdan about their ongoing work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the global context, they, uhm, propose like categorification of L2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there is a, uh, I mean, there are all these versions and, uh, there's also parabolic version.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of this, so when you just, uhm, instead of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, g-tilt, you start with some parabolic and you write g-tilt p and then, but then, you know, one of the categories you can consider there is, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. And, and, and this is, uh, right, so this, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there you can consider this, uh, cohomological support and it's related to cohomology for a small plant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember this work by Oblomko-Frazanski, where they, I think it's, uh, uhm, pretty, some of the objects they consider can be read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like there's some language of going between matrix vectorizations and derived cubes, but I don't know, so you were rather asking about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, so this is uhm, so then, eh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Associated graded is related to, to also asymptotic KK algebra. So maybe I'll mention this a little next time. So that may be, what you're suggesting may be, uh, useful to analyze that, but, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yes, but so as I, as I said, so one thing this is related to is, uh, I mean this cohomological support filtration is, uh, connected to quantum groups and they will do this tilting ideal and cohomological support, uh, ideals in tilting modules over quantum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, illustration of UBQ ETF, uh, Whitaker model, because, uh, so as Pablo mentioned, this SciHack can be obtained by, um, averaging of some exponential shift.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think these are just, uh, uhm, this two sided idea is just, uhm, some sort of Whittaker matrix coefficients.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evacuate by invariant with the kinematics coefficients. And uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so that at least motivates considering this subspace and subcategory, but there may be some way to connect the dots and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, okay, so I can say just, uh, for first, um, yes, there is this tweak that, okay, so, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you can evolve it with, uh, um, uh, like J lambda and J mu on two sides, you may not get, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if it happens so that lambda is safe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dominant Admin is Anti-Dominant, Zanity is, uh, Perroshiv.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you know what object of the right category to assign to it. So that's, uh, I mean, it uses some nice features of station, but yes, it is ad hoc and, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I'll try to say it maybe more precisely next time, but, uh, yeah, certainly some aspects of this, uhm, they follow from, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Techniques, so uhm, in fact uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The following strategy for constructing this equivalent, so suppose you already have, uhm, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The equivalence, uh, for like antispherical category.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then uhm, okay, so there are two ways to say it, either using, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just say that the category of sheaves, uh, coherent sheaves on the fiber square, it's kind of all endomorphisms of, um, sheaves on like one factor over sheaves on the base.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, like these techniques, uhm, so I think Dima Rinkin gave a talk last semester, and so these techniques were discussed there. But my sense is that, so this may be a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Funct on some big categories, uh, but, uh, if you really want to know, um, the equivalences that are presented here, uh, uh, then, uh, you still need to argue and yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least my impression is that, uh, uh, apart from some ad hoc tricks which were not really presented in the talk, uh, this, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so let me, can I give you an answer tomorrow?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so yeaah, let me, let me make this decision. Probably I'll be just doing online thing, but I'll see if there is something I can more effectively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you must forgive me, Miss Ferdy, I quite forgot myself. It is so many weeks since I last heard her play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four weeks, two days and, uh, six hours. It was at a lunch party in this very room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Hartright, if I may say so, Limeridge is indeed fortunate to find you as a tutor. I had the great good luck to see some of your drawings at Burlington House last summer. It is a wonder to me you do not exhibit more often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You will reward us by coming to stay at Blackwater on occasions and continuing the tuition. As you may know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is my great wish that Miss Fairleigh here will make our home her home. I may be a fool, Mr. Hartright, but thank heaven I'm not fool enough to try and separate the inseparable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm mightily glad, Mr. Hartrack, that you met with Anne Catherick. But I was most interested to hear that she was at Limeridge Church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a daughter whose mental faculties were disturbed at an early age. In time...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The poor girl's symptoms made it necessary for her to have medical care. But Mrs. Catherine did not want Anne to go to a public asylum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She appealed to me to meet the expense of a good private asylum, which, in mark of her services to our family, I was happy to do. Kitson, a Harley Street specialist, was put in charge of her case. And did she improve? No, she did not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as her condition worsened, she developed a confused hatred for everyone involved in her treatment, including, I'm afraid, her mother and me. So I hope she's returned to proper medical attention as soon as possible. I have to leave again tomorrow, but I will watch for her tonight from the church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If my plain statement of legal fact had only been addressed to you, Mr. Gilmore, and to you, Mr. Hartright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I should consider any further reference to this unhappy matter as unnecessary. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miss Fairleigh, my position with the lady is not the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I owe to you what I would concede to no man alive. Proof of what I say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here is the address and name of Anne's mother. May I insist you write at once to ask anything you wish. Anne, ensure that she confirms my account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I regret to say it seems we have a guest arriving later in the week, some wretched cousin whom I barely know. Still, he will only be here a short time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I cannot wholly understand it myself. I have kept expecting her to change. But I fear the moods of women are sometimes unaccountable to me. You have her messages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Believe me, Miss Fairleigh, you have done nothing to offend her. I'm sure of that. You simply give her time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let us just say it's poor Ants. She's in need of clothes. Oh, and there is excellent news. A good count has agreed to stay on. For several more weeks, I hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then there was danger too. Anne almost told the women of the will my father made at the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Simone would probably be the only person with the, uh, you know, the restraint not to do it. And then so we would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to try to figure this out, I just tried to like picture cartoon eggs in my head and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What those eggs were. And it was over easy when I pictured like, uh, some cartoon eggs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm about to expose myself as a person of bad taste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, it's, here's what I'll say about English. It's like, it, I already speak it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, all you gotta do is wheel out a tape and show people like, uh, wishbone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First we have to catch them and that can be quite nerve wracking. Let's see how we fare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll hold it tight, and if it should climb up, one of us is gonna have to go after it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's split up. You go up top, me down below, and you in the stable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually there were just two this morning and one of them, a little buck, has a chip. The third has just arrived or turned up somehow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or she. My guess is it's a girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first days after they hatched from the incubator, we kept them in a fairly small box so that the heat lamp was really close and could simulate the mother's warmth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're jumping. Watch out, they're jumping out of the bucket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Assam is back there in his magical little forest, tearing it apart. He's plucking the corn right out. He's enjoying himself. Yeah, destroying things is the best thing ever for him. He pushes and kicks and tears things away with his trunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, he chose a fabulous evening to arrive. No, she did. A she? Let's hope so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've never explained to me why I had to tell people you were here when you weren't. When Sam Selmer got killed. Billy, I, I don't like being asked to tell lies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fancy him changing his appearance like that. With haircut and things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've never explained to me why I had to tell people you were here when you weren't. When Sam Selmer got killed. Billy, I, I don't like being asked to tell lies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I declare, they're together again. That's the thirteenth time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Loxy. I wish I didn't have to go back to Havana tomorrow. Are you meeting Dan, Captain?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I love Dan. And I'm gonna marry him even if I have to run away too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh Jack, was it Drusilla?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually share this classroom with the ESL teacher, so that's why it's so big. I'm going to show you the other little designated speech room. It's so tiny. But right now I've already seen about three groups of students. It is currently 10-11. And this was the activity we did today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually posted a picture of this on Instagram, and I've been trying to incorporate Plato more, especially dealing with ASD preschoolers. It can be very challenging to actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This binder kinda tells me when I collect my data, which I'm actually about to do right now, is my...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ther-py daily notes and I just kinda write down what we did, uhm, how they did taking data.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is actually my laminator that I actually braid because sometimes I'll print off last minute assignments and want to laminate them and use Play-Doh or any kind of chip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play-Doh and just any kind of sensory, uhm, activities are so good, especially with ASD preschoolers because it can be a challenge getting them to actually sit down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey guys, so I'm back, also showing you guys on another day here. Uhm, I just want to let you guys know that I will be posting more videos, just kind of showing my journey here working as an SLPA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's just pretty exciting to travel and just to get to meet, you know, different people in this field, make more connections, network and just grow and learn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am applying to a graduate program hopefully next year, just depending on how things work out. And, you know, I just want to continue to get


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just to know that there are opportunities, job opportunities for you with the degree that you may have at the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe fetched some wood and pulled it across the ice while Laurie held Amy's head above the water. Together they got her out. She was more frightened than hurt and was quickly taken home. They covered her in blankets and tried to calm her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after a little while she fell asleep in front of the warm fire. Later, when everything was quiet, Joe asked her mother, Are you sure she's safe? Quite safe, dear. It was sensible to get her home as quickly as you did. Lori did it all, said Joe. Mother, if she should die, it will be my fault.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get angry nearly every day of my life, Joe," said Mrs. March. But I've learned not to show it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've learned to stop myself saying the angry words that come to my lips. And you must try to do the same, my dear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amy moved in her sleep, and Joe looked at her. I refused to forgive her, and today she nearly died. And it was Laurie who saved her. How could I be so wicked? Joe began to cry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Amy opened her eyes and held out her arms with a smile that went straight to Joe's heart. Neither of them said a word, but they held each other close and everything was forgiven and forgotten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, quick thing I wanted to get out there, John Moran helps me segue because the guy I wanted to talk about is Miles Bridges and timing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Timing on Miles Bridges. I wanna, I wanna throw this out there right now because in our last episode, you and I talked about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could you make money if you only focused on one player and only one player?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For like, say two years, three years, four years, five years. Miles Bridges is, is proving to be in that category for me because, uhm, last year I, I acquired a Miles Bridges Raw Prism Silver for $90 when the market was up pretty strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] October, November when he had just won like NBA player of the month at the beginning of the NBA season. So I made a lot of money on that card. Now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prism. The same card. Prism, silver, raw. Instead of paying $90, you can pay $20 for it. So now, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could buy three for the price of one that I bought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even if you just buy one that looks like it's in good condition, I think a great play is to grade that at SGC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, or PSA for $50 if you can include it in a bulk submission. Because the, the, or just buy the Prism PSA 10. Either way, Miles Bridges right now with his Prism Silver is a good play to have it graded. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So either buy a 10 because his 10s are only $180 right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or to, to grade, or to buy a bunch of them raw and then have them graded. Uh, because the same thing's gonna happen again. The dude is an electric player. It's just timing the market. So, there's gonna be markers for Miles Bridges. He's gonna sign a contract this year, either in Charlotte or somewhere else. It's gonna be the biggest contract he's ever signed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's gonna be a marker for him and then he's gonna come back at the beginning of next season and put on a, a bid to be an all-star. So I think he's a good, I just wanted to throw that out there as a, as a, as a potential play and a follow-up for kind of following the same guy along, along a, an up, up and down. Why not invest a $20?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They took it off the pro circuit, which was really upsetting for us because that, that's part of what creates the hype is being in this environment with hundreds and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They started 07 Circuit by having a little like grassroots event that they got a venue for. It was a nice venue and everything, but there was no hype. So that was kind of their, their transition was, we can't have you on the Pro Circuit anymore, but we'll try to help you guys out. So, which was nice of them, but like I said, it just wasn't the same as having it on the Pro Circuit. It was a really, really big difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We tried to make it fun, I guess, but after a while, after a few months, it became clear that like the engine was just designed to really, really reward defensive play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One time we went to a Massachusetts tournament and I'm almost positive he just,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he struggled at first in the community, like playing wise. He was... He was a scrub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that didn't last very long. And I didn't look to Melee to go back, I just honestly thought I was gonna quit there. I was just like, well, you know, like I had my moment in Melee, like I had fun with it, I'll still play it, like with my friends, but like it's not gonna be a big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first orchestra meeting I had was absolutely horrifying because I couldn't read sheet music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad was like the CEO of his own like clothing store called J-City. And it was really successful. We had many chains up in Boston. We were actually thinking about extending it to like New England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember it was second grade, uhm, my dad and my mom went to a business trip down in Florida. My dad had to go pick up some shipments, some jeans from China that he had imported. One of my dad's friends gave him a referral. He's like, oh, this guy can give you a ride. The guy went to a bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was pretty hammered. He dozed off on the wheel, crashed into a concrete wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doctors are like, this guy has only like a 10% chance of living.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a second grader, you don't really understand the magnitude of how serious things are. You just wouldn't give up. Like, you just didn't care. You just wanted to just get better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to see that happen, you know, it's really inspirational, like, like to see him like going through all this stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My father was in the hospital in recovering. My mom had to go to work. So most of the time I was by myself. A lot of the things that I did to really pass the time was like video games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to play with the Fall River Crew, it was the Ninja Turtles, it was Crazy Jones, Hayato, Roga, Eve, Unknown Force.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't really, I was doing okay. I was in like maybe 9th place in my local tournaments. It was like decent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I wasn't like, I wasn't satisfied. I wrote down a list of all the people around me. Who's better than me? It was like a ladder process. I do it step by step by step by step by step.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was notorious for money matching literally everybody. I don't care how good you are. I don't care if you're Ken. I don't care if you're PC Chris. I don't care if you're Azia. I'll money match you. Five bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was starting to do things with Sheik that I never thought was possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DVD popped open, said it was full in the middle of my match against Ken. So I wasn't able to keep it. There are certain things that I was doing with Sheik that I never did again, and I wanted to see what


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was to win the MLG last championships. Because that pretty much means you won everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting away from being the champion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't go to sleep for about four days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It hit me hard when I lost. Like it really hit me hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I beat Mew2King, I beat Ken, and I got the PC Chris. For some reason, I couldn't beat him. I couldn't beat him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ozon can come back with a combo. And, uh, get him with a spike. Wow. But. See that. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got buyers for two of our burros. Mexican fella and his partner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So New Orleans to me is really interesting because they just extended Cam Jordan. They have Derek Carr. Uh, Crystal Lave is terrific. Michael Thomas is the key for me in that whole operation because he's been unhealthy the last couple years. He's a phenomenal player. He's been really good early in camp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with the NFC South as it is, I feel like there's an opportunity for them to win 10 plus games. Yeah. And, and they arguably have, well, I guess it's inarguably have the best quarterback in that division, right? I mean, I love Bryce Young. We haven't seen it yet. So I would say that New Orleans is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's probably one of the more interesting teams, but there's a lot of unknown and it really comes to me down to, down to Derek Cardman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this evening we're going to, uh, I'll do my best, I should say, to touch upon the history of Freemasonry. Uhm, I want to give you, uh, kind of my history and disclaimer here as well. So, I should say, just so you understand for the purposes of disclosure, and so you know where I'm coming from, that I am a Mason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and I'm an active one, a member of several lodges here in the Dallas Metroplex, a member of one of the lodges in Oklahoma as well, uh, and especially an active Scottish Rite Mason, uhm, in both the organization in Dallas and the one in Guthrie, Oklahoma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and I'm a Yorkrite Mason and many other sort of Masonic organizations as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But my principal responsibility tends toward, uh, the responsibility of education, uh, within the, the Masonic fraternity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My chief personal historic interest is actually the history and development and evolution of the Masonic degrees themselves and the symbolism and how that evolved and where it came from and how it was interpreted in various ways. That's my specialty. Uhm, but tonight we're gonna...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna approach just the general history of Freemasonry. And that's a bit, you know, that's a very deep rabbit hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'll do my best, I promise, and, and, and we've got time for questions and answers, so I'm happy to go as deep as you want, uh, by the time we get there, and I will do my best to answer what I can, and if I don't know the answer, I promise you'll be, you'll be the first to hear it from me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I recognize the more conspiracy-minded of you two, uh, may see this, the fact that I'm a Mason is a way to dismiss everything that I'm gonna say tonight. Uhm, I'm gonna address intentionally some of the more well-known controversies and conspiracies. Uh, but again, if you wanna address that in the questions and answers, I'll, I'll, I'll do my best, I promise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've been a Mason for probably 11 or 12 years. So I started well before I decided to join the fraternity and my interest in this subject was part of the reason I joined. Uh, at some point you have to kind of get some experiential knowledge of the subject, uh, because you exhaust what you can find in, in books.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my main function in education, a lot of what I do, uh, for other Masons is to correct some of their misconceptions about the history of their own fraternity. Uh, so, uh, because it can be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really hard to separate fact from legend, uh, and myth when it comes to Freemasonry. And that's true even if you're a Mason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So again, uh, I'll do my best for what really is a vast, a vast subject.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other thing I want to emphasize before I begin is that no one speaks officially on behalf of Freemasonry, uh, as a whole. Least of all me. Uh, you know, you will...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk as we go tonight a little bit about why such a thing would even be impossible, uh, but, but this evening you're gonna, regardless, get my perspective, and mine is not the only one. Of course, much of what I discuss tonight's gonna be history that's documented, and I have a very rigid


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and conservative approach to the way I understand history. So my, my hope is that the source material and the information that you get tonight, you'll find to be, uh, accurate and, and as transparent as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And where there is speculation or just opinion, I'll make that clear as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So before we set out on this subject, I've got to, I've got to deal with the question of what is Freemasonry, because if you watch the History Channel, uh, or the Discovery Channel, or you read some of the books that are out there, it'd be very difficult to understand the answer to that question, what is Freemasonry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a lot of ways, modern Freemasonry functions like any other civic or social organization. It's a fraternity, so it has social aspects where you get to know, uh, people from all different walks of life, different backgrounds, and you can establish friendships that are lasting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and meaningful, you see, you see, you meet people from other countries, people of different faiths, uh, different socioeconomic backgrounds, different levels of education, uh, and interests. You meet, uh, people from other generations who are both older and younger than you, and it's a way of learning about, uh, a great deal about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Life through the experiences that are shared, uh, by others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, Freemasonry is united for at least a few common purposes, and I'll get to three of those key ones in a minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's also a charitable organization. It has many charitable purposes. Uhm, most of you will be familiar with that probably most likely through bodies like the Scottish Rite who run the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Scottish Rite Hospital for Children here in Dallas, uh, the Shrine, for example, all of whom are Masons, the Shriners, uh, run a number of children's hospitals, uh, all over, uh, the place, uh, and burn centers and so on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so Masons, uh, do invest a lot of time and energy, uh, and effort in supporting charitable works. However...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing that distinguishes Freemasonry from other civic organizations besides its age, its antiquity, uh, so to speak, uh, are what's known as its degrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the degrees of masonry would be best be thought of as, uh, uh, plays or dramas or ceremonies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That provide a candidate or a new member an initiatic experience. Now what's an initiatic experience? What's the role of initiation?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we have some of these initiations in our culture today, some formal, some informal. For example, acceptance to a group. You might have some sort of ceremony that recognizes that someone has become a member of any organization, civic or otherwise. There may be a recognition of a milestone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of the work necessary to earn their diploma or to get their college degrees or their graduate degrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might be you have an initiatic experience that marks some sort of beginning of a journey, uh, or undertaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that journey maybe involved personal growth or self-knowledge or self-improvement. Some of the informal ones would be like when you get your first car. Maybe when you take your first drink. You know, that's not the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, sort of ethical example perhaps, or the best example of adulthood. Uh, but yet we kind of take that as an informal initiatic experience, an informal milestone that marks where we are in life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In part, this is based upon the idea in Masonry, uh, that we make the world a better place by making ourselves better people. So the function of initiation in Masonry is to offer you an opportunity, uh, for further self-knowledge and self-improvement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is tied explicitly to the ethic of human progress that arose to prominence, particularly in Europe in the 1700s during the Age of Enlightenment. During the Age of Enlightenment, it was understood for the first time that humanity as a whole


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That conditions of life could be made better. That there were better forms of government. You know, better ways of, of working, uh, as communities, uh, uh, and, and better ways of treating our fellow man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the experience of Masonry is really centered around these degrees, and in particular, uh, every Mason, uh, goes through three of them. Now, who are Freemasons?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we have a few requirements to become a Mason and that goes well back into history, but they're very simple. One very important one is that you have to seek to be a Mason of your own free will. No one is ever going to invite you. We don't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no one's gonna ask you to join, no one's gonna pressure you to join for any reason. You've got to, for whatever your own personal reason, actually ask to become one. And the second one, and this is key, is you must be able to express some sort of belief in deity. That means you have to have a spiritual viewpoint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we don't ask any other questions. We don't ask you to define that. We don't ask you to clarify. And there's no tests of even what you mean by that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's largely because sectarian and partisan religious and political discussion are not allowed, uh, within Masonic lodges or during their meetings for the simple reason that it's divisive. And the general ethic of Freemasonry,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, is, is unity is to avoid that divisiveness and to see what we accomplish together. Because it rises from a period of time in Europe when for hundreds of years people had been killing each other over religious and political differences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To express this, I'll give you a quote from Anderson's Constitutions of 1723. Now this is Reverend James Anderson. He was a minister of the Church of Scotland. He was born in Aberdeen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in 1680, and we'll get into the Grand Lodge histories here in a little bit, but in 1721, he's commissioned by the Grand Lodge of England, or it was Grand Lodge of London at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A Mason is obliged by his tenure to obey the moral law. And if he rightly understands the art, he will never be a stupid atheist, nor an irreligious libertine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But though in ancient times, masons were charged in every country to be of the religion of that country or nation, whatever it was, tis now thought more expedient only to oblige them to that religion in which all men agree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their particular opinions to themselves. That is, to be good men and true, men of honor, and of honesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here in 1723 you see that ethic of our religious differences are set aside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I mentioned some of the uniting purposes among masons, and I want to give you a taste of some of the language that a new mason hears, uh, when he becomes an apprentice in a lodge for the first time. There's three principle tenets associated with masonry. They're brotherly love, relief, uh, and truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the exercise of brotherly love, we are taught to regard the whole human species as one family. The high and low, the rich and poor who is created by one almighty parent and inhabitants of the same planet are to aid, support and protect each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On this principle, Masonry unites men of every country, sect, and opinion and conciliates true friendship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this teaching and the lecture is a basis for tolerance, for patience, for understanding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lecture says to relieve the distressed is a duty incumbent upon all men, but particularly on masons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who are linked together by an indissoluble chain of sincere affection to soothe the unhappy, to sympathize with their misfortunes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To compassionate their miseries and to restore peace to their troubled minds is the grand aim we have in view.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's worthwhile for you and I to join or unite in trying to help our fellow man because we can accomplish more together than we can alone. It teaches humility, compassion, and it teaches that we have the power to improve the world around us. It's optimistic and truth. The apprentice lecture says truth is a divine attribute and the foundation of every virtue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While influenced by this principle, hypocrisy and deceit are unknown among us. Sincerity and plain dealing distinguish us and the heart and tongue join in promoting each other's welfare and rejoicing in each other's prosperity. So we have integrity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have, uh, the importance of the intellect and reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This part of the lecture suggests that we truly reflect upon our actions and explore the core values and beliefs we have and then follow those with sincerity and authenticity. Plain dealing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I still give those words, uh, to, uh, brand new, entered apprentices in lodges around the city today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another good question to answer before we dive into history is why all the symbolism? You see all of the, all of the old drawings and, and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the interesting thing is the use of these symbols is far older than really the, the idea that Masons would be obsessed with secrecy about it. The question is why does Freemasonry use symbols?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is an example actually of an entered apprentice tracing board. So this is an old, uh, English style, uh, board that would go with, uh, the, uh, the entered apprentice lecture, the, the lecture that the brand new apprentice would receive. The reason symbols are useful to masonry is because they're dynamic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their meaning and application grows and unfolds, uh, with the person who's studying and reflecting upon them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had an early reference at the beginning to Alice and the rabbit hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, for example, those of you who had the opportunity to read the book, say Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for example, or through the looking glass as a child,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And appreciated the story for the fantasy and for the strangeness of it. And then turn around as adults perhaps as parents you know either reading that book to your children or


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] experiencing it as your children read it again or reading it again as an adult. Boy, there's a whole lot more meaning in that story.
