[Assistant] And this result again demonstrates the importance of balancing tie strength with network efficiency. And one way to mitigate this might be to give teams more control over when they actually want to participate in membership rotation or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that didn't even feel like an hour. I'm loving this. This is stuff I never talk about. It's helping me realize some things about myself that I was blind to before I started this, uhm, before I started talking about it here. Thank you all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So with Hive, I just demonstrated that it's possible to create these kinds of environments that enable collectives to come together and build familiarity and generate plans and proposals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hive was designed specifically for groups who had a shared issue but didn't know each other yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dynamo, in contrast, the second project that I'm going to talk about, uhm, was designed for and by people who did know each other, and familiarity was actually contributing to the problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what I'm gonna do is move from an algorithm heavy section of the talk and move into one that's rooted in qualitative work and participatory design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So with Dynamo, what we wanted to see was how can we support collective efforts despite these problems that people had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I engage with Amazon Mechanical Turk workers, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this also enabled me to build a working relationship with them. Then together we designed and deployed Dynamo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll explain common failure scenarios that happened and the specific kinds of, uhm, organizing and emotional labor that it took to move these efforts towards success. This is work that, uh, we've termed the labor of action, uhm, and I'll explain its mechanisms in more detail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So researchers have argued that crowdsourcing platforms create these computational infrastructures that make the crowd workers actually seem invisible. So as a result, there's a whole labor market online that has emerged that leaves many workers struggling to find good work or to assert their rights when they're mistreated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in response to that, uhm, turkeys have actually formed collectives, uhm, using web forums and chat software, uhm, and they use a lot of these communities to share good work or to talk to employers, uhm, or even to raise money when someone needs it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they struggled more when the goal or how to get to it wasn't clear or when it was an effort that actually needed many hands to share the burden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how can we support an online collective, not just to discuss, but to agree on a common goal and execute it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dynamo itself is an online forum, uhm, that supports the Amazon Mechanical Tour community to form collectives, uhm, and around shared issues and mobilize. And to show you how it works, I'll again walk you through one scenario.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was an event that was actually triggered by a well-meaning researcher who injected false information into Turkopticon. Turkopticon is sort of like the Yelp for Amazon Mechanical Turk where people can review employers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this caused a lot of frustration because uhm, a lot of the Turkers actually relied heavily on the information on Turkopticon for their jobs. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And actually, they spent a lot of time trying to figure out what had happened, where they thought that it was getting spammed. And by the end of it, Turkers agreed that researchers just lacked exposure to the kinds of issues and vulnerabilities they faced as Turkers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this prompted them to want to write a set of, uhm, publicly available ethical guidelines for research on Amazon Mechanical Turk and its communities. Uhm, they envisioned that these guidelines could both be a means to guide ethical behavior but also to back Turkic claims when things go wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's this big gap, uhm, from wanting ethical guidelines to actually creating them and having everyone agree on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then once an idea gets 25 upvotes and has more upvotes than downvotes, it evolves into a campaign. Uh, it officially launches on the front page of the website and there is various infrastructure there to support it, such as wikis and buttons for signing things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Dynamo supports, uhm, collectives to form publics around issues and mobilize.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Publics come together through the shared conditions that they have or the shared issues that they have and together they develop formulations and analyses of what the problem is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And much of the research on publics actually has focused on this, on what are the conditions for discourse and assembly. We build on this work that is heavily rooted in theories of participatory democracy, but we also take up the conditions by which these publics can successfully act together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They face two common failure scenarios that we saw. And I'm gonna argue that these two common failure scenarios, stalling and friction, are actually common pitfalls that any online action can fall into. And


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, one of the efforts on Dynamo, uh, was a letter writing campaign that, uhm, actually stalled. Uhm, after weeks of discussion about how to do this letter writing campaign, six Turkers had written and shared their letters. Uhm, and the campaign organizer, uhm, who was a community manager on a Turker forum contacted us and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it seems no one is interested. Uhm, someone, uhm, just says we're doing it wrong but won't say how to do it right and no one else has any input.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For instance, uh, with the guidelines effort that I mentioned, uh, one turker midway through expressed disappointment about there was a certain paragraph in the guidelines that was not exactly in compliance with Amazon's Terms of Service. So this was offering guidance about how to use


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, a very specific kind of screen reading software that was, uh, technically against the terms of service, but a lot of people used it anyway, especially for psychology studies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this starker critiqued this position that the guidelines had taken but then also had, uhm, general critiques because they felt like the guidelines had gotten marred in technical detail when it was supposed to be this high level document of ethics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in other words, trying to fix one of these problems actually often causes the other. And so it seems that online collectives have far more reasons to fail at acting together than to succeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, as issues came up on the website, uhm, we worked to help people move past them. And gradually, as we were doing this over time, we found that there were common mechanisms that we kept using. So, uhm, we drew out these mechanisms, we gave them a name, so that we can transfer them to other kinds of contexts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this specifically helped when there was stalling. So for instance, when we approached the deadline to actually publish the guidelines, uhm, there was one section of the guidelines titled, What to do in cases of violation, uhm, that remained untouched. No one wanted to write anything there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The purpose of Dynamo, uhm, should be to add to the rights and recourses of brokers, not to limit or replace them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But our action did get the effort moving, so after some discussion and editing, uh, people were happy with the end result.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So these are two of the mechanisms, uhm, I'd be happy to talk about more in the Q&A. But uhm, the final question is, did these mechanisms actually help? Uhm, I'll talk about two of the efforts that succeeded on the platform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After about a month of work, uhm, uh, Turkers finally published the guidelines effort, uhm, on September 7th, which was Labor Day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's available online as a 23-page write-up, uhm, and it covers different matters that affect turkers, like fair payment and respecting turker privacy. It has 261 signatures so far from researchers and turkers, and the Stanford IRB actually uses it to approve research.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this was an open letter writing campaign that Turkers wrote directed to Jeff Bezos, Amazon's CEO. Uhm, 30 people posted their letters publicly, uhm, that you can read at this URL and it was covered by major news outlets including The Guardian and The Daily Beast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this I think challenges the idea that social software by itself, uhm, can produce the conditions for social change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I would instead encourage us to think about, uhm, the ways that centering labor, the ways that we can center the labor that combined with software, uhm, can actually create those conditions. So how can we better support that labor through software?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for the past few months I've actually been advising coworker.org, which is a non-profit platform developer for worker collective action. They're interested in creating and maintaining Dynamo as an anonymous, moderated platform for worker advocacy in a range of other kinds of workplaces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the open questions here are, uhm, how do we actually support the workers who are doing, and train them to do the labour of action, uhm, combined with the software that they're developing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in this talk I argued that to support publics working on wicked problems collectively, uh, we need to design social computing systems that center trust and familiarity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Dynamo provides patterns for us to learn about working with disagreements and preserving momentum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's still a lot more work to do in this area. Other aspects of collective action include making shared decisions, gathering and sharing information, creating a shared identity, supporting peripheral participation, and I plan to continue working on these different aspects in the future. Thank you and I look forward to your questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, really? Oh, this is the Countess de Fresco of Mercer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen sister, that might be your racket, but it's not mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's among the largest logistic centers in the world. The Port of Rotterdam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The biggest port in Europe is also one of the most innovative in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Altogether now, a logistical masterpiece. So just how do they pull it off at this giant hub?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The size of the hub? 12,643 hectares. One and a half times the size of Manhattan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since being founded in the 14th century, the port of Rotterdam has continued to expand in the direction of the North Sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today, the port area stretches over 42 kilometers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The hub handles a wide variety of goods. Chemical substances.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well as dry bulk goods, including cool or, or cereals. And of course, freight containers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 250 AM. On today's schedule alone, 80 Giant Freighters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More than 200 maritime pilots guide them to the terminals. Martijn Drent is one of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 15 kilometers off the coast, he welcomes his first ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Matain's daily routine starts with jumping onto the freighter's rope ladder to board it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Matain officially takes command of the ship for the duration of the maneuver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a chain reaction with real consequences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Port workers are waiting at the terminal to moor the ship at this precise point in time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the Santa Clara comes too late, the whole day's schedule is thrown out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normally the safest and fastest solution for pilots and ships. The most important tool in the Rotterdam Hub?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 180,000 port employees work in hundreds of different departments and companies. And they all depend on each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Punctuality is the definitive factor for success at Europe's largest port.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The master plan for this sophisticated endeavor is drawn up 42 kilometers upstream, in the heart of the city of Rotterdam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is where the Harbor Coordination Center is located. The hub's brain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which ships are delivering which cargo? Where are staff needed and how many? What problems still need to be addressed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jakub is also responsible for port security.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The gigantic hub is confronted with risks every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shipwrecks, accidents while loading, fires, possible explosions. That's why patrol ships monitor the harbor around the clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's 7.05 AM. The giant freighters have already moored. Now it's the Santa Clara's turn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The terminal stipulates where the pilots moor the ship, so as to optimize the use of the cranes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the Santa Clara, this means making a 180 degree turn and reversing into the dock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make this possible, the 300 meter freighter needs the help of a tugboat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tug pulls at the stern of the Santa Clara, allowing the ship to turn on the spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A dangerous situation. But Pilot Martijn manages to prevent the collision with his skillful maneuvering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While mooring, Mautain coordinates several different teams. The mooring workers pull in the tow ropes, and moor the ship at the quay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, the helmsman brings the ship as close to the bank as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've done it. The Santa Clara is perfectly positioned in her berth, and exactly on schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quarter past eight. In the port's observation post, traffic pilots track every single ship sailing around the hub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Renee monitors the port's North Sea entrance. It's rush hour here, and it lasts almost the whole day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every year more than 130,000 ships call at Europe's largest seaport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Container ships, inland ships, and cruise ships. A total of 350 a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Renee directs the course of the ships to help them avoid traffic jams and collisions. He has to plan ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10.39 a.m. Port Patrol monitors the industrial sector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, the port handles over 80 million tons of dry bolt cargo each year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In an emergency, the patrol is both a lifeboat and a fire brigade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eight ships are on patrol around the clock in Rotterdam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the port, the most important selling point after efficiency is safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it is not so easy to have everything under control at all times in Europe's largest port.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They not only bring containers to Europe, but also iron ore, coal, scrap and hazardous materials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is why 37 inspectors check the hazardous materials on site at the port each day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet the fleas is a cargo inspector at Rotterdam port.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The inspector checks toxic, corrosive and flammable goods, such as chemicals, paints and pesticides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he detects a risk, this means not only a danger for the ship but also for the terminal and the entire port.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If a fire breaks out during unloading, it could spread quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet has been keeping Rotterdam safe for eight years now. The port has become his second home. And a source of great pride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Located within its vastness, you will find six deep sea terminals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The operator ECT opened the world's first automated terminal here all the way back in 1993. Electric, efficient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Control lies in the hands of an intelligent computer system. It improves the safety of work at the terminal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a comparison, it used to require the work of hundreds. The new system makes loading much smoother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is good for the ships who all want to leave for the next port on time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Supervisor André de Melca set up two of the automated terminals in Rotterdam, and he knows not to underestimate his achievement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The terminal is divided into four zones. Zone 1, ship loading and unloading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Self-driving Transporters, which assist the cranes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They receive the cargo or deliver new containers for loading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Zone 3, remote controlled cranes traveling on rails stack the containers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Supply Zone 4 for onward transportation. By truck, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is the automated vehicles in particular that are the secret of this terminal success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Around 100 self-driving transport vehicles supply the cranes or move the containers from A to B. All by themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The terminal operating system calculates the perfect location for a container in real time. The important factors for the vehicles are distance to ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Driving distance, travel time, and energy consumption.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for the moment, it is still a human being who has the final say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ultimate goal, full automation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for now, Crane Operator Guido is still faster than any computer system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crane Operator Guido and Container Inspector Justin coordinate the destination of each individual container at maximum speed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The terminals in Rotterdam load 13.7 million of what are known as TEU containers every year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they're too slow, the schedule is thrown off completely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Countless companies carry out work on the ships while they are moored here. From inspections to repairs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One container ship needs a very special service at the APM terminal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today's mission is to inspect the propeller, and if necessary, repair it. And they'll do it all underwater, and under time pressure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The team never knows how extensive the repairs will ultimately be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The spectrum ranges from simple rust treatment to underwater welding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom is wearing a dry suit. He can pump air into it while diving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First on the list, a test jump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As soon as Tom has the helmet on, things should proceed quickly. On land, the equipment is extremely heavy. The weight of the helmet alone, 13 kilos. His colleagues check all connections one last time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Checking the propeller is usually a routine job, but Tom did not anticipate the enormous extent of the damage underwater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With 140 million tons of container goods entering the port each year, unwanted cargo also gets through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Europol estimates that half of all cocaine circulating in Europe is smuggled through Rotterdam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suspicious containers are a case for customs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 650 officers are on duty in the Port of Rotterdam every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of them is Fred, whose surname we are not allowed to disclose for security reasons. Specifically speaking, he's a dog handler, due to the extreme quantities they have to deal with. It's been ages since customs officials have used a dog to search each container individually. The agency has upgraded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the dogs, the air from a single jar is enough to check the contents of the entire container.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The procedure saves valuable time in the fight against drug trafficking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This will allow the dog to check 17 containers at once later on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the same time, the port patrol team is searching for any gaps in the security system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially in the terminal sector for the giant freighters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because more mass equals more risk. Their destination? The tankers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mobile tankers dock next to the giant container ships and supply them with heavy fuel oil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last check on this tanker was three months ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On board the ship, the two men pay closest attention to the oil lines and fire protection equipment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prevention and inspections. Indispensable in Europe's largest port.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last year, there was only one major oil spill in Rotterdam. Partly thanks to vigilant patrolling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their shift continues into the night, which is getting closer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prepare divers at the terminal half to hurry. The ship wants to leave as soon as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The longer he is underwater, and the further away from the dive boat, the more dangerous his job becomes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom has fulfilled his mission, albeit with a different result than he had hoped for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without his inspection, the container ship would be a ticking time bomb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With so many different ships it is impossible to have every conceivable spare part in stock. So far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Upstream, the Port of Rotterdam is working on precisely this problem. Not to mention other ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In an old shipyard hangar, the port of Rotterdam offers young companies the chance to make their breakthrough. They develop prototypes for the maritime industry. One company has already achieved success. RamLab prints spare parts for ships, on demand, directly at the port, using a 3D printer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The solution? A 3D printer that prints metal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While casting a propeller takes several weeks or even months, it can be printed in just a few days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And printing with metal wire is even cheaper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With new ideas like this, the Port of Rotterdam is looking to become the world's most innovative harbor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This young company's greatest success so far is the world's first printed propeller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The team is now planning for the next parts, such as suspensions for cranes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At Customs, Fred and his 10-month-old tracking dog are on their way to the jar carousel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rotterdam's largest discovery to date, 4,600 kilos of cocaine in a single container.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Max is one of 30 sniffer dogs at Port Customs, and he's specially trained to recognize the scent of cocaine. It is the most smuggled drug. Max, sit. Sit. Max is still in training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fred educates him like any dog, in quite an unspectacular manner, with a little stick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The okay means the terminals can continue to load without further delay. The ships gradually leave the keys and make room for new deliveries. They have different journeys ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other containers travel from Rotterdam by train.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the truck drivers who transport the goods from Rotterdam, only a chip card is required.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The system uses it to automatically locate their containers from out of the stacks. Ideally, it only takes a few minutes to load one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terminal workers operate the rail cranes using a joystick. This is how they load the trucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Years of work for supervisor André de Melca, and a source of great pride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rotterdam has left all the other ports on the continent in its wake. To become Europe's gateway to the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The port is number one in every category. Containers, dry cargo and liquid cargo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 180,000 people at this giant hub. Work together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] to perfect the Port of Rotterdam a little more each day by promoting innovation, precision, and not least of all,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Created and made by loving hands. A thing of beauty and utility. I was going to start with five pounds. It's a bargain, five pounds. Do I see any hands?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We come to the third and last of these beautiful little musical boxes. Exactly the same. Tinkle, tinkle. Isn't that lovely? Ladies and gentlemen, I don't bring you here to gull you and swindle you. This is the exact replica of the two I just sold before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if your records would show who the purchasers were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you, uh, give me a description of her? Oh, she was a young woman. Fairly tall, slender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I take the new issue of The Strand Magazine is out, containing another of your slightly lurid tales. Which is indeed? What do you call this one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm. If you must record my exploits, I do wish you'd put less emphasis on the melodramatic and more on the intellectual issues involved. More on the intellectual? What do you mean by that? Well, I do hope you've given, uh, the woman a soul. She had one, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I just happened to be in the neighborhood and saw your lights burning, so I took the liberty of looking you up. Still writing your mystery stuff? Here's the new one out this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, I never miss them. Oh good, thanks. I say that bandage makes you look pretty interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still poking your nose into other people's business as usual? Who hit you? I haven't defied his notion. Somebody knocked me on the head in my own living room. And then proceeded to commit the most idiotic burglary you ever heard of. The fellow must have been barmy as a coot. Barmy? Why? Come sit down, old boy. Would you like a cup of tea? Huh? Oh, all right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, simply from the fact that, uh, with about five thousand pounds worth of musical boxes in my living room, the thief who I caught in the act made off with one that isn't even worth five pounds. I gather you're a collector of musical boxes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I have been. Some of them are very beautiful, but not the one that was stolen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thief, uh, evidently grabbed the first thing that came to his hand when he heard me coming into the room. Still, it's rather odd, isn't it, that having disposed of you, he didn't pick up something more valuable?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I picked it up in the south of France, oh, several years ago. You say you have many valuable music boxes. Yet the thief made off with one that isn't worth five pounds. Sounds like rather an intriguing little problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where I take it that you're just an ordinary petty thief and didn't know the value. That is a possible explanation, and yet I've entered to say...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, anyway, that's carbon the odds theory. They didn't get very excited about it. That's consistent anyway. I wonder if I might see your collection, Mr. Emery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, of course you could. Yes, uh, nothing a collector likes more than showing off his trophies. When would it suit you? No time like the present. Good!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would you say half-hand is the value of a box like that, Mr. Emery? Well, it is hard to say half-hand. A nice thing would bring about five or six hundred pounds a day. It's the gem of my collection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A thief who steals an oddity like a musical box passes up one worth 500 pounds for one of almost no value at all. Odd. Very odd. What was the stolen box like, Mr. Emery? Oh, just a plain wooden box about, um, so big. As a matter of fact, I have one over here almost exactly like it. I picked this up yesterday at an auction room in Knightsbridge. Bid only 2 pounds for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course I wouldn't in the ordinary way add one like this to my collection, but the uhm, the tune intrigued me. I'd never heard it before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a remarkable ear for music, huh? Rather than unusual melody. Sit down. Thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, uh, see, you bought that box at an auction sale yesterday. Yes, the Gaylord auction rooms in, uh, Nicebridge. Run by old, uh, what's his name? Crabtree. That's the man. At what time is the robbery committed? Oh, about, uh, three o'clock this morning. You know, Mr. Emery,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That box in the robbery might well be cause and effect, especially since you say that the stolen box utterly resembles this one a great deal. And, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scotland Yard were not particularly interested, eh? Oh yes, but I, I wouldn't blame them for that. Especially as I told them I was quite unable to describe the theme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except of course for the fact that, uh, it was definitely a man. All you remember is that you came in here and someone struck you on the head. Yes, and the next thing I knew, my man was trying to revive me. It might be wise for you to put that box away somewhere and lock it up. Oh, I don't think that's necessary. Besides, everything's insured. Well, at least too many further attempts at robbery are made. I'd suggest that you call the police.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just hope that your friend Stinky is a little more cautious in the future. Just in case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, you're the one bright spot at that appallingly dull affair of Lady Sanford's. Huh? Of course it isn't too late to come round. Yes, I shall be delighted to give you a drink. I tell you what, come straight up, and I'll leave the door unlocked. Right, well, fifteen minutes? Good. I shall be counting each moment. No, no, no. No, I mean that, really. Right, goodbye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dear Mrs. Courtney, pleasure is all the greater for beings that are unexpected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, they appeal to the ear, as well as to the ear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, uh, Dr. Watson. He was here this evening with a friend. Mr. Holmes. He's interested in my collection too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, he, he seems to think I'm in some sort of, uh, danger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's hard that you should be interested in that particular musical box. Hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You put me in a very awkward position. I'm a collector, you know. And the collector buys, but never sells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, Mr. Holmes. Hopkins. Thanks for coming so promptly. Inspector Mastrart suggested that I call through to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Emery was the client of Mr. Holmes, Inspector. Indeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You didn't mention that when I telephoned you, Mr. Holmes. Well, not exactly a clown, Inspector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was killed between the hours of eleven and two o'clock this morning, Mr. Holmes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the second attempt on the musical box that Emory bought at the auction sale. And this time it was successful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inspector, may I suggest that you make a complete search of this flat for a small, plain musical box about that size. Thank you. Come on, Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You say the first box went to Mr. Julian Emery. The second to Mr. Kilgore, 143B Hampton Way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The third to the unidentified young lady who presumably has a shop and lives near Golders Green. That's right, Mr. Holmes. Isn't it rather strange, Mr. Crabtree?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It used to have had three identical musical boxes, all playing the same tune. Where'd they come from? Dartmoor Prison. Dartmoor? Here, we get a regular shipment from there every month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you happen to notice if anyone showed any particular interest during the auction in the purchasers of these three boxes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, come on, Mr. Crabtree. This is very literally a matter of life and death. Oh, since you put it that way, Mr. Holmes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a gentleman came in here about an hour after closing time, and he was in an awful state, he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gave me five pounds to tell him where the boxes had gone. We said they had a sentimental value for him, sir. Hmm, expensive sentiment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you describe him? Tall, distinguished looking in the head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right here in the moustache. Always quite a gentleman, sir. Now what was his reaction when you were unable to supply him with the address of the young lady who owned the shop?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our children, the young lady, usually come back on Thursday. He said he'd come back on Thursday. Now that's tomorrow. Thank you, Mr. Crappery. You've been very helpful. Thank you. Come along, Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where are you going? Somewhere, somehow. I must get to the young lady who bought that third musical box before our opponents find out. I only hope that I won't be too late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anybody give me one pound? Anybody offer me one pound for the doll? One, one pound is offered ladies and gentlemen, one pound is offered. Now I'm not going to waste your valuable time or mine in trying to get one half of what this beautiful doll is worth. If the young lady can steal it for one pound, that's her good fortune.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This vase lay in a large collection somewhere outside Rome for over two centuries, I understand. It was discovered there by the noted antiquarian, Sir Andrew Copleston. Now some of you may remember, Sir Andrew Copleston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry, Alfredo. If I ever see it again, I'll recognize that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Sergeant Thompson's following them, sir. They won't get away from him. He's a good man. We could have arrested them at Clifford's toy shop if we had any proof. But we know that they killed Emmerich. Proof, my dear pillow. We must have proof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm. There must be some clue. And it's probably be so obvious that we've all overlooked it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not lunatics, my dear fellow. Extremely astute cold-blooded murderers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you never told me anything about this house. You were away at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Articles of no intrinsic value and yet of such importance. I don't understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Davidson was apprehended within 15 minutes of committing the theft. But by that time, he'd hidden the articles in question and they've yet to be found. Before going further, Dr. Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a complete duplicate set of plates for printing five pound notes. What? The back of England's own plates?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scotland Yard men with him are cellmates, but no results.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously, Davidson is a man of strong character and infinite patience. Yet, suddenly he feels impelled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has the Bank of England made any plans to radically change the design of the five pound note so that in, say, uh, seven years from now, notes made from the stolen plates would be worthless?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, there is another possible explanation. Davidson didn't have much time to find a hiding place before he was captured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure that the message is contained in this musical box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or rather, in all three musical boxes, since possession of all three seems to be essential. Our opponents have two-thirds of the puzzle, we have one-third. Well, what are you gonna do, Holmes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Try to deduce the message from the one third that we have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the same tune as the one played by Emery's musical box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otherwise, why use three musical boxes to convey the message? Why not color boxes or shoe boxes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you to meet a friend of mine, Dr. Watson, Joe Sisto. Oh, well, any friend of Mr. Holmes is a friend of mine. Hi, Joe. You did me a good turn once that I'll never forget. Yes, I cleared Joe of a most unpleasant charge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, it's an old Australian song called, uh, The Swag Man. What's your point in it all wrong? That's what I hoped you'd say. Now listen again, Joe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could you write the song down for me? The way it was originally written? Oh sure, Mr. Adams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, all we have to do now is to find the secret of the variations. Not a very easy problem to solve, my dear fellow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry, Mrs. Hudson, don't worry. You had no way of knowing. It's quite all right, quite all right. Now don't worry, Mrs. Hudson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry. Where is the musical box? They didn't get it. Didn't get it? Where is it? It's in your hand. Huh? In the biscuit jar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now put your hand inside and you'll find the music box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? It's morning. Allow me to congratulate you on a brilliant bit of deduction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not a transposition, not a polygraph transposition, not a trigraph, nor any known form of decoding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the point of numbering the keys for me. One, two, three, four. Even then, I never progressed beyond, uh... Numbering the keys, Watson. The 19th key of the keyboard is the 19th letter of the alphabet. S. Here. I'll be damned if I give it to a long fellow, will you? The first altered note. Write S first. Now, the eighth key is H. The fifth key, E.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Third shelf secretary, Dr. S. Presumably, these are the first and second portions of the message.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this gang has the first and third parts of it. Precisely. Then it's a stalemate? Yes, Commissioner, but we can't leave it like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no doubt in my mind that they'll try to secure our third of the message that's missing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I assume you've taken every precaution to guard the Clifford music. Oh, yes. It's carefully hidden at Baker Street with Dr. Watson on guard. However, I'm reasonably certain that, uh, difficult as it may be, we can find the plates even without the missing part of the message. Behind books, third shelf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether S stands for his first or last initial remains to be determined by a process of elimination. Well, there must be 10,000 doctors in London with S for a first or last initial. Precisely. And every one of them will have to be questioned in person. That's why I say this is a task for Scotland Yard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll call you if and when we get a lead on our mysterious Dr. S.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. In the meantime, I intend to follow up a little clue concerning a cigarette.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, come now, Mrs. Courtney. You seem to forget that you and I have met before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why didn't you say you knew them? As a matter of fact, you called on them when they were out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Mrs. Courtney, people generally forget in assuming a disguise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the shape of the ear is an almost infallible means of recognition and identification to the trained eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, no, not at all. Though naturally, I expected your denial. But when you paid your visit to my rooms at Baker Street, you carelessly left behind another identification. They're, uh, identical out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should advise you not to move, Mr. Holmes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turn over the missing musical box with your pledge to take no action against us in the future. I'm afraid that will be impossible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You realize, Mr. Holmes, that your demise will not take place here, the, uh, Corpus Delecti, you know? Well, naturally. Shall we go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By now Mr. Holmes has no doubt exchanged his violin for a harp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, she came here, let off a smoke bomb. I thought the whole place was on fire, and my first thought was to save the musical box. No need to say anymore. She has the box. Yes. Don't blame yourself too much, old fellow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you can console yourself with the thought that your charming friend is at least a reader of yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wrote about my little experiment with smoke and the crying fire in a story you entitled, A Scandal in Bohemia, which has just appeared in The Strand Magazine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our opponents are in possession of all three parts of the code. And here are we while the Bank of England plates pass into their possession. Cheer up, old fellow, cheer up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, Mrs. Courtney. Praise from you is indeed gratifying. I shall always cherish the memory of your flattering words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brilliant antagonist. It's a pity her talents were so misdirected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will you see that these plates are returned to the Bank of England, Inspector? I still don't understand how you solved it, Mr. Holmes. It's entirely due to Dr. Watson. He gave me the clue when he mentioned Dr. Samuel Johnson. Well, congratulations, Doctor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should ask him to put some holes in the walls. We could be like Sentry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, uh, Ravner was talking about if we don't make things just right, we'll just get


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Must be a lot like Mr. Steel. It will be nice to meet someone I can hug. The way you do, Mr. Steel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm thinking, Ravna's radio thing. Why is it just for talking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She says all sound is just different frequencies of the same thing, but sound is all that thought is. If we could change some of the tables and make the receivers and transmitters to cover my tympana, why couldn't I think over the radio?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ravna doesn't know for sure how we make sound. The directions include options for making small changes. I've been thinking, I can see how the changes relate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He paused, and made a high-pitched squealing noise. Darn, I can't explain it exactly, but I think we can expand the tables, and that will change the machine in ob, obvious ways, and then... Omni was beside himself for a moment and speechless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This shows us that the goods can be released


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can gerrymander with scientific precision. You can run in and out of alleys and up and down streets and carefully include and exclude whichever voters you want in one district and not in another. So it's become a very precise science.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The contiguous rule, because there's obviously nobody living here. I mean, unless they're homeless people, I guess. Anybody here? Any congressional voters out there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about us, huh? When mom's not supposed to live her life? Sammy's not supposed to get married? Why do we have to sacrifice everything, dad?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe Robert Johnson was extremely talented, extremely gifted, and way off balance. Something's spinning strangely in that man's life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw you right after, uh, Michelle passed away and, and, and, uh, and I was wondering today, you know, I just wanted to ask you, how are you doing? Like on a human level, what's your life like right now? Are you, are you holding up okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we're going to be doing a mock PM interview focused on an execution style question focused on lift. Lift cancels are up 5%. What is going on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Hadar, before we jump into this question, could you tell us a little bit more about yourself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome. Well, we're super excited to have you and today, as I mentioned, we're going to be doing an execution style interview question. Uh, for this question, I want you to imagine that you are working at Lyft, which you're very familiar with. Um, Lyft cancels are up 5%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to do a little bit of a role play where I will be a data scientist and you can imagine that I have access to tons of data and I can tell you answers to everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, uhm, unfortunately I'm a very terse data scientist and I only answer in yes or no questions. Uhm, so I can't tell you anything more other than just yes or no. Uhm, but you can feel free to ask me questions to understand and diagnose the issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, the issue is that lift cancel rates are up 5%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, good question. We haven't changed the definitions of metrics, uh, in the past, uh, in the timeframe that's relevant for this question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we have implemented a lot of changes recently. Uhm, I'm a data scientist, so I don't know exactly the changes that we've invented. Uhm, but yeaah, there's been some changes to our system, our instrumentation and things like that. I'm not sure whether or not that's applicable here though. Okay, sounds good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, so you're asking about the, to clarify, you're asking about the time duration of the change. Is that right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a relatively stark change. So it looks like there's been something happening within the past, maybe a couple of weeks that have caused it to change. It's not like a slow change. Yeah. Great question. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're seeing it focused generally in domestic areas, but we're not seeing a huge, uh, it's not like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's only in the domestic areas. We're seeing a little bit more in the domestic region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm actually just a data scientist. I'm not totally sure what holidays are coming up. Is there a way that I can look up something for you that would help you determine if there's a holiday?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, so I can look at my magical calendar or maybe I'll look at kind of a database or something and check in cross-reference if there's any holidays. Uhm, there's a couple esoteric holidays, like maybe National Pancakes Day, but I'm not totally sure how applicable that is for the question that we're having today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, great question. We're not seeing a deviation in the platform usage generally, like we...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have certain platforms that are used more than others, but uhm, when you normalize to the amount that they are being used, it doesn't show any deviation in pattern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, it doesn't look like there's any deviation between the two platforms. Got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got it, so you want me to slice by the version number sort of of the app release that we've launched?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, so I'll, I'll look in, I'll look into it. Uhm, I'm not seeing a huge deviation in terms of the, uh, the app version that the driver is on in terms of whether or not they're more or less likely to be in that cancelled set, the set of 5% that are cancelled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so uhm, we did launch a experiment where we changed the color of our icon, uhm, the Uber, the, sorry, the Lyft icon, we changed the color of it recently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That sounds okay. Yeah, uhm, totally. Well, I guess just to push back a little bit, like, is there a way that you would determine, that we could determine whether or not the color changes causing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, right. There's no, there's no deviation between the purple and the pink. Uhm, we changed it to purple. So, yeaah. No deviation there. So, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we do launch stuff every week. Uhm, we haven't seen something so major though that we've launched in terms of the matching algorithm and things like that that would be relevant to this particular problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess what specifically would you want me to look for in terms of connectivity? Could you be a little more precise about that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so you're asking in the various stages of the funnel, when is the cancellation happening? Is that correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, good question. We're not seeing any app crashes higher than normal, nor are we seeing, um, bug reports reported by the app. So, yeah, we're not seeing, like, crashes or, uh, bug report issues coming up right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we're seeing it more at the beginning of that experience. So the time duration would be more towards the front end of the, of the ride, of the, of the driving to the person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I see what you're saying, like, is the distance from the driver to the pickup point longer than normal? Is that what you're asking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, good question. So based on that, the distance has not grown. No, we are not seeing that the rides are substantially further away than they were before. Okay, got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we're not seeing a increase in supply of drivers, but that's a great question as well. So yeah, this, there shouldn't be, there doesn't seem to be a more or fewer riders or drivers on the platform right now. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally. I can do a sentiment analysis on Lyft as a company, uh, on some of the sites. We're not seeing a deviation in the sentiment there. So, uhm, it doesn't seem like there's something newsworthy that has come out about Lyft in the past, uh, few weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, nope, uh, no increase in passengers calling drivers. Okay, got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very slightly skewed towards people who have been on the platform a little bit longer, but that's, it doesn't really seem to be much of a pattern there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're launching stuff all the time. Uhm, I look into the stuff and it does look like they're doing an increase in types of some marketing campaigns that they're working on lately for drivers. So we're seeing some increase there with marketing campaigns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we, we can't know exactly like the copy itself, but we can know if our drivers are using both apps based on some analytics that we do on their usage and things like that. Uhm, and so we, we could also look into that and we could potentially look into, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The types of, uh, behaviors that we're seeing from those drivers and how they might be using different things. But we do have some subset of users also that we can talk to that are just like a user research pool that we can always communicate with as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we're seeing no cancellations for the subset that are just on lift. No, no cancellations at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we talked to our quality and we talked to some folks about who use both Uber and Lyft and we've noticed that there are some campaigns being sent via notification.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess you found it. That sounds like a good job. Well, I mean, now that you found it, just like maybe a quick follow up question and we don't have to spend too much time on this, but just imagine, imagine that you are like the PM for Lyft right now and, um, you work on Cancels and you're noticing this trend and now you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How, maybe very briefly, like how would you think about that problem and what steps would you take?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uhm, it's just more like, what should, what should we do? Like, uhm, in response to this, like, this competitive campaign via from- Oh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could involve changing the policy, like that could be a thing that we employ, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just holistically, like, what would you, what would you think about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome. Uhm, well, I know we're a little short on time, so I want to wrap up there and get some feedback, but overall, uhm, awesome answers that are, as always, uhm, would love to hear from you a little bit of self-reflection about how that went for you, and then I can jump into some of my notes, and then we can wrap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy, yeah, uhm, good point tonight. I thought you did a really good job of breaking it down. And yeah, like for, for those watching, like this...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a couple points that I thought were really great were uhm, even though you were shooting the dark, you were doing options, I always knew your high level meta goal. Like I could hear your thought process throughout the process. So one thing that I see that's not so great with some of these interview questions is that when people just kind of be like, oh, was it in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like this country, like was it uhm, with this user? And I don't hear sort of the high level thought process, whereas with you, I had that top meta part where it was like, okay, I'm gonna go into this section first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, okay, it might be promising, but let me go over here first and then I can come back to that if I need to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of that, like, thought process was really, really helpful. It was a great map of where you were going. Uhm, I thought also, uhm, we had some, you know, fun discussions around, like, different little paths. We went down, like, the holidays thing was kind of interesting. I think, yeah, the other piece for that, I would just say, is that, you know, in an interview, just being precise is helpful. So, like, uhm, sometimes I've had these questions where,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's, that's one point. And then yeah, like comprehensive, I thought it was very comprehensive. You went through almost every option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when we got to the end, I think you did a great job of kind of being like, aha, like we got something, let's like, let's use this, let's jump into it and then go there. And then you, you did a great job summarizing. And then even the follow up question, I loved how you brought it back to the goals, which is always really helpful. So yeah, great, great answer. Any, any reactions to anything I just said or comments?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, thank you again so much Hadar for being on the show. This is super valuable. You did a great job interviewing. Uhm, and I thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, folks learned a lot about executions of questions and, uh, being a list product manager. If people have any other ideas or thoughts or edge cases that they can think of that, uhm, they would have asked in this question, do comment below. We'd love to see comments and your thoughts on it. Uhm, but otherwise, good luck on your upcoming interview and thank you Hidari for being on the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless of course you should be so foolish as to try to enter the prohibited area. I'll be up by plane in the morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Police have moved now. 100 pounds you said. How would you like 500?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The market's rising. An old friend has just arrived in Diamond Stud, so I have a job for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever seen a more honest face? Very well then. Shall we say half the money down?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But tell me, why should a young woman with your talents be driven to such extremities as this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a plane to catch early tomorrow, so I think I'd better pack my bag. But, uh, you can fix yourself a drink if you like, Miss, uh, Miss...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pleasant holiday, Mr. Martingale. Very nice. Have you missed me, Paul? I've had company. But none so beguiling as I bring you now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello. Miss Reno has come here to see for herself the irresistible glamour of Africa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll have to do better, my dear. Come along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My fondest hope was that you'd find the diamonds. But this, set each of them against the other. The memory of it will warm me in my old age. Oh, hello Paul. Would you like to join us?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Davis virtually told you, don't you remember? He spotted her right off. As a man with a really good eye for antiques, I'm rather surprised you were so fooled. I'll chop this. We're going to see members of Reno now. She's waiting in your office. Oh, uh, incidentally, they're in love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never know what to think anymore. I'm being constantly disillusioned. Has money completely lost its power? Is everyone motivated now by love?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The diamonds for the girl, really, my dear Marco, she's not worth it. On the streets of Cape Town. Stick to the point. Yes or no? It appeals to me, yes. It would make a hero of me in the eyes of the company. It would distress Vogel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mademoiselle Suzanne Renault, known by whatever aliases, et cetera, et cetera. Mademoiselle Suzanne Renault is innocent of the murder of Dr. Francis Kittredge Hunter. She will be released immediately. Signed, Paul Boko Commandant. Witness to Fred Martingale. Only our signatures are lacking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took that gamble. With my life. You know, in his way, he was quite a remarkable fellow. A nasty, but remarkable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dr. Hunter's famous prescription for pickling the heart. One injection every 15 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let me see. I've been here about-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're in pretty good shape. For once, Mogul failed to shoot par for the course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't you ask Mr. Renaud why they didn't dispose of you? I already asked her. And, uh, she didn't know a thing? What are you getting at?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last night the girl came and told me to put you back together again. So she must know why you were released. And so do I. They want the diamonds. And they knew you'd never tell them. But a woman like her, that's something else again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Under the circumstances, a man of normal strength, you for example, commandant, would have been in bed for at least a week. I based my prognosis on that, but apparently it sometimes happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you began to work at the steel mill. People worked at the stockyard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to put all of this shift in public housing at the feet of public policy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Public housing was located on some of the most desirable land in the city. The most valuable land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now no one said that. A lot of people don't get it unless it's broken down. But what you've done is you've recreated


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The concentration of poor people in particular buildings and sometimes whole blocks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today the endless plane is gone. We must build a new city on top of the old. Today we have, and have to have, a comprehensive plan for the city of Chicago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking into account the needs of all the people to have a decent place to live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Originally there were seven persons to every unit. When you couple that with female-headed families and average incomes of $5,000, they


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stay over here. I've been raised up over here all my life. I'm comfortable over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Growing up is always tough in Chicago, you know. Everybody, all these murders happening, everybody down, you know. There was a lot of killers around here, so it's really a crazy neighborhood. Kids getting shot every day, so you get accustomed to it, you know. Any altercation could pop off, it could start from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some kids may turn to the streets, you know, try to hustle. Yeaah, the money fast, but it's always going to find a way to catch up with you. You don't know that your enemy right around the corner watching you from the whole situation. You don't know that the police watching too. It's always different circumstances, you know, so keep your head up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always just second thinking everything. Boy, you gotta watch your back every day. It's the most dangerous job in America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wake up to hearing your best friend getting shot on the news, you know. You don't wanna wake up to that every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, one of my, one of my friends here, recent, just about a month ago. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the circumstances they still in, you know, they still around the same place with a bad negativity so, kinda, drags them back into it, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't got that many opportunities, they got felonies on their background, so trying to do something productive to end up, you know, going back towards down the wrong road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ain't gonna achieve what you wanna achieve by tomorrow. Okay, there's always gonna be distractions. So you just gotta be focused on everything you wanna do. You gotta dream, just chase it. Your life then and there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Came across this program and then that was looking bright for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like to learn new things, trying to, yeaah, just learning new things, learning new ways, and just applying them to the real world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a lot of stuff that people out here need, such as job training. Getting my education through the program helps me deal with emotional stress, therapy. Very much thankful. It's a blessing, you know. Decent blessing, yea. Can't complain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I made it this year, as long as I get that diploma and it's something that nobody can ever take away from me, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Graduation. So successful at that moment. Being able to get my mom with something that a lot of my family members didn't have. Very proud of myself. Very proud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's interesting because when they lost a clash, I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that's, that's it. I sort of started to feel like what Triple H decided to do was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he has started to turn it around. There is, there is, I still very much feel like I don't understand the purpose and during the show, in fact during the match with Riddle,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Corey Graves was stating that they, they're like, they're taking over and they're doing this and that's why they're getting it. And I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They haven't stated what they're doing. They're just joined together. They seem to be a team who have a shared love of black and purple. And that's their entire raison d'etre.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but like you say, it feels like they believe what they're doing enough that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they have more segments like the main event and the closing moments of this show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AJ Styles comes in, is allowed to be AJ Styles. Samoa Joe comes in, Bobby Rude, Adam Cole, you know, Bobby Fish, Roderjan. They're all allowed their real names and we start to sort of acknowledge that things happen outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could talk about how, I mean, Finn could be like, your best experience, your best runs have been with people when you're not operating alone. Whether it be with the OC or whether it be with the Bullet Club. They could mention them. I feel like they're more likely to do things like that now. I agree. Because Triple H hasn't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always assumed it was because he wanted WWE to be considered the tip top and to suggest there were other things made it seem like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wouldn't. Do you know what I mean? That you might have had success elsewhere. Well, it doesn't matter because you haven't had success here. So let's just not admit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you've had success anywhere. Japan is like parts unknown, it's not actually your place, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost like it's two entirely different stories that come together in a very natural way. It's very, and it's really smart to have, you know, friends play LOL, but it's very smart to have the prime example, even though he doesn't know he's being played for a fool, uhm, of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Strengthen numbers and being part of something and being, and Xami loves being on REU, being part of the, of the bloodline, being one of many. To convince AJ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is one company, all of these people work in the same place, all of these story strands are linked in some way. I think it is the same, I said it a few weeks ago, it's the same thing as Easter Eggs, when fans love to see


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, I mean, it's because the idea, and even, even comics, like, people love the crossovers, you know, Avengers vs. X-Men, people love to think of this one shared universe. So seeing storylines blend into each other is always fun. When they do it in such a way that makes both storylines feel even stronger, it's even better, you know, it's, it's, it's just,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fascinating to now sit here with a Judgment Day storyline and be like, oh, they could do this, they could do that, they could do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it, we, it would have happened at some point anyway, because that wasn't the ending to the Edge and Judgmentary storyline. I feel like there is something in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baller winning an I Quit match against Edge who doesn't quit. He said so in his speech, that's why he picked the I Quit match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Putting Edge away for a while, or maybe giving Edge a little something something I don't know, and being billed as this really strong figure to continue the rehabilitation of Judgement Day. I do see what you mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it took away from me from the, the, the image in the end because here's the other thing that was really smart about that moment right at the end when they're wrapping his head in a, in a chair and you're like, oh, it's going to hurt. It's not very nice to go and do it and then stop and sit down and say, I won't do that to you because friends don't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Opens the door, it allows for AJ to be like, you are one of the only ones who wouldn't do that, and you're right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted Alexa last week to join damage control, or to sow the seeds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alexa being beaten up, for me, stops Alexa wanting to join damage control. This was the opposite of that, and I appreciated it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then Cody comes back and that gives Cody another storyline potentially because there's then three people who've headed up the Bullet Club at some point. You could also, I mean this is where I go into the realms of going outside and thinking well now Trips is in charge, could they bring people back and what happens if it's like AJ doesn't join


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's had some incredible runs, like, you know, his runner's champion back in the day was really strong, he's had, he's AJ Styles, you know, he's not gonna have a, you were always relied upon to have a really good match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even if you have a really good match week after week, Lashley's another example with a bell around his waist, or rather over his gigantic shoulder, if you don't have a purpose,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of don't care. So to have AJ Styles suddenly have a purpose again in some way, shape or form, even if it's not necessarily a title storyline, is a really good thing and that's gonna serve to further, you know, it's all about building for, for WWE at the moment because they have been so


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the dirt. Dreadful. For such a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Building good stories that will make people want to come back week after week and see what happens is crucial. And doing that with talent like AJ Styles and giving them something to do is part of what makes that work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree completely. I think it's, and it's, and there's so much history you can draw on within the company as well. I just thought about their first match together. Remember that weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, and then, but then we suddenly get this match out of nowhere. And I remember at the time being like, Oh my God, don't give us, don't give away the thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. I think, uh, I think it would be, I think there are just so many questions and so many branches and so many paths that you can take with Finn, with a big team. Are there leaders? Do we have the pair of them? And then from there, what do you do with that? Do you have them as like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wrestling for control of the judgment day? Do you have them as, as a two man power trip? Like, you know, it's, it's, I think there's so many.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Potential storylines, and if, and if, if it sticks to just as it is, we don't sign any new people, I think it is a bountiful story opportunity to have him in The Judgment Day. I would say yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would love to because we never get a chance to talk about it and it's the best idea I'm going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That segment. It's so interesting because I, do you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll tell you, I see what you mean and I see where you come from. For me it's Jimmy, because I think Jimmy has a harder job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Jay has to, he's open about how much he doesn't like Sammy and you know, doesn't want him here and it's like, what are we doing? And that's delicious. And his performance on Friday was incredible. Jimmy has to be the one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's going to be painful to watch because the, this is the most delicious storyline I'm going to say in all of wrestling at the moment. I agree. Because for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a storyteller, as someone who like, uh, just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Game of Thrones is my favourite show of all time. It's the grey area. There being no such thing as good and bad, it's that everyone exists within it. The idea that Sami Zayn is this heel who behaves like such a lame-o.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we have such sympathy for him and then the audience, when we see him get that shirt, he gets a baby face pop in a big way because we all want him to be accepted in this evil faction of horrible people that we don't actually like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we see the high five with Jimmy and there's genuine, there is I think a genuine affection there. It may start in not way, but then their performance leads me to believe that they actually, he actually has a fondness for Sammy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's gonna have to be the one to break him down. And that's gonna, what's that gonna do? What's that gonna cause? And then the sympathy that we have for Sammy is, is inevitably gonna, it's like, it's like when you watch your friend be in a abusive relationship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, sorry, I just keep thinking about the ways in which they- and then the idea of KO and Sammy going against Jimmy and Jay is delicious to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I'm reaching a little bit too far and getting way ahead of myself. If you do this right, you main event Sami Zayn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You turn him into someone who has a genuine grudge, has a genuine...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fury, a genuine heartbreak and pain behind him to take on Roman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that too much? Is that too far? Because Roman at this point is Thanos? I don't know. But the idea of it just has me go...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could you eat this out a little bit longer? Yea. And save it? Not necessarily mania. Not necessarily that Sammy has to be the one to do it, but you could have him have a right crack at Roman. That's it. Almost make it and build him to the point where in the future, there's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, I, I, this is the confusing thing for me, is that I see that Judgement Day final shot, I watched this earlier today, and I see that final shot and that Sammy match as my main event because it's so cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys. We were talking off camera before you went and had your crisis, uhm, about the faders. Uhm, I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thor, the first hour of this show was utterly dreadful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll talk about that in a minute. I, but specifically, it got me off to a really bad start and I was very grumpy because what in the name of hell from a production standpoint was going on for the first 5 to 10 minutes, 15 minutes even, because they come out, like you say, they're having a little laugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bianca cuts and nothing promo, and then suddenly out comes damage control and I'm like, okay, so we're kicking off with this Bianca versus Io match. That has been advertised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, why are the announcers confused about this match? Then we go to commercial, and I'm like, okay, well that was awkward, but when we get back everything will be fine. But it's not, because we cut back, and suddenly we're backstage with Sammy and Solo arriving. And I'm like, I genuinely thought I'd missed a bit. I thought I'd missed the match, so I went rewinding. No, that's just the- where- there's a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Production. And if Pete goes mad on production, I'm with him. This was dreadful. This was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if she was at home sitting or like shooting a movie or being in the Mandalorian, like, you know, then there are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they really did. They really did. I think the thing about Bianca is she's just good. She doesn't need to be on, she doesn't need to be on every week. I don't know, I'm a bit-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt like it took a while to get going and then there was some real hesitant moments in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably because they believed they were about to see a match that they were told and then suddenly it was like, hang on, what's going on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need a Ms. Force t-shirt and I need it yesterday. I am obsessed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like that. No, but I do, to take us off Jizz and Penises, and back to the show, Ms. Force.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, please. Immediately. I am a member of the Mizz Force. If science was still a thing, Mizz Force science would be everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have been on three episodes of The Royal Review.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And already we're turning the tide on the missus. One of the best in history. Put some respect on the name of Mike Mizanin. Reality check, Mrs. Grey. Next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, here's the thing, I'm glad you said that. Thank you. I feel that it works for you to chant it because it's his messiah complex, I said this a little while ago, like if you have them sing along and then you, you know, pop a squat on them, then it's fine. You can get away with that as a heel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the crowd started singing his theme a second time, which wasn't good heat. That was the crowd going into business for themselves because his promo was boring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the thing, with long-term storytelling, you can't just, it's not adfinitum, ad infinitum. I've done French. Ad infinitum. And now I'm trying to do Latin and it didn't work and maybe you know what we're going for. So yeah, there comes a point where it's like, right, now let's get on with this. It's why the Loomis thing has, we'll get into that in a minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's good. I also, I will say I was frustrated as heck with the commentary at this point. I was already cross with him because of the beginning. And this one, Cory, and I'm a Cory Grace fan, I'm a Cory apologist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was on something this week, like he was really off it, and it did, and Byron just being...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So lame. It just, it's like, I get that the point is that you've got anchor in the middle, one good voice, one heel voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But bickering doesn't help. It sucks you out of it. It made me not care about it. And yeah, it was a good match, but I didn't care because I was so distracted and so irritated by what they were saying that it really started to get on my nerves. They did soften over the course of the show, but in this match in particular, I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was thinking more about like, why did Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross work so well? Because Jerry was not this level of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's mean. There's a meanness to what Corey's doing. There is, like, the Corey fire and stuff is. He's not a suck up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, also, uhm, Dominic and Ria, Perfect Couples Halloween Costume. Halloween's coming up, if you want to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that what we're gonna do? I would love it, can I be real?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, great, because I was thoroughly, thoroughly delivered, because I, I, I love tag team wrestling, I love, choose, I love every person in this match. I think Otis is amazing, does the job really good. I think Otis being in the Alpha Academy at first, I was like, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It works so well. It's so good. And I think I, I loved it from start to finish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I also think that Gargano needs more of a, uh, Keo has been in raw presence for years. Gargano has just come back and is just making his main roster hype. He needs wins. He needs to be seen to be the person having his hand raised and having his music played. Um, far more than Kevin. I was just, especially in Edmonton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I loved this running, and I know I whinge about not clean finishes, but the reason I love this running is because it's the way you do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, oh no, we're gonna get another one, I'm really cross about it. Doesn't work. Puts everyone over really good. Even theory storyline of running internet not being successful. For me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did it when their singles match, it really got me, it got me in this moment as well. It's the best. I always get worried because it's a brilliant spike. And there were a couple of those actually in the show where I was like, ooh, but this was the best one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And suspension of disbelief is already a fragile thing in wrestling, because we all know, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love Tag Team Wrestling. Tag Team Wrestling. I love the Alpha Academy. Chad Gable's amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's the same, we, we got it again a little bit later, we'll talk about it during Omos, because he's, his whole thing is, is big man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, this was a great segment for the third time he did it, but for what, five, six, seven? Yeah. Lord. Yeah. I need to know, I need to know why he's there. I'm, I, you know, when we spoke about this before, I'm a fan of it. I'm a fan of Loomis. I'm a fan of Miz. I just want motivation. That's all I want. I want to know why he's there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they did me too. I literally sat up. I was lying. I was like, prostrate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every recap with Amiz is the most must see recap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was a little bit like, oh that was too quick for that. And then I was, but then two things happened that I was like, lovely and tasty. Uh, I did write down this, this incidentally is what an Open Challenge is for. You know, Bianca, if we want to have Bianca do something on the show, Open Challenge, like she did with Sunny Deville, uhm, and then we get, oh, Kanisaray's coming for a challenge, they have a decent match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can't just very well win because we weren't going to keep the title, but it's a good showing for a returning superstar. It's a reminder of what you can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but they didn't go down that road. They gave us what was essentially a squash match. And I was a little bit like, how do we feel about that? But then Nikki's little moment was such a nice touch to be sat in the corner looking at her mask. The sympathy I felt for a character I cared about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's... She did, which I, uh, am not mad about. Me neither. Because at the moment she still has a character. You know, Asuka and Alexa don't have any. A little bit of George. Maybe interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's interesting to me about this as well is when we look at the wider, uhm, context of the wrestling landscape at the moment, uhm, especially with a, with a couple of recent bits, is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the fun things during the Monday Night War would be when someone would leave one company and show up on the other, and because at that time we didn't really have, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like Chris Jericho I think of as arriving was a pretty, you know, momentous moment, especially if you weren't someone who watched both shows, and I wasn't, uhm, all of 10 years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But with, uh, I'm so young, I'm just, I'm so young, you can tell as well. Uh, from, uh, what's her name? Candice. Candice in my back. These, these-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Strange strangers, randos coming back who've been away, coming back, gets you that pop without having to poach from AEW. But what's super interesting, I mean that first proper AEW, I mean we had it with Cody, but that first like AEW to WWE jump in the Triple H era is gonna be unbelievable to see. But what's curious to me is the fact that anyone who has come back


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AEW kind of hoovering up anyone who didn't get a run in WWE.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're not having a run. And they're not having anything for them. And like, so we're looking at- I'm thinking specific about Malachi Black. Uhm, or even Andrade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm seeing Sereia come out, and just sort of say hello, and have an amazing pop, which she rightly deserves, cause, you know, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That said, obviously it's still early days of the trips, right? So, all of this praise I'm giving it, all of these returns, they may get sucked into- I was gonna say-

[Assistant] They gave me a good, I think some of it was okay. I wasn't as cross about this one as I was previously.

[Assistant] Well, that's it. I mean, I think he's still looking to put his stamp down and say that even our secondary shows are still going to matter because we do have that notion of, I can skip this one. He doesn't want us to skip the big shows. Every takeover was a banger.

[Assistant] I'm absolutely fuming. I personally though, I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really intrigued to see Triple H do a B show. Cause I think, like I said, every takeover show was a banger. Some matches didn't always work, but I always had a good time watching the takeovers. I think he wants to create that idea that you can't miss this. And Extreme Rules I don't care about, but I care about currently the matches and Extreme Rules.

[Assistant] I, I, and I was never someone who was like, uh, eat, sleep, breathe NXT. I didn't watch every single week and half the time I didn't even really know the storylines, but I would tune in to every single takeover. They gave me a nice little package and I'd see some incredible wrestling.

[Assistant] Uh, if we're gonna have a heavy for the judgement day though, let it be Damien Priest.

[Assistant] Did you do a junkie? No, I, we, I'm very special. Uhm, we had a screening of Guardians 2, uhm, and it was at the YouTube Space. Oh, you went to the YouTube Space? Yea, where I met, uh, Big Dave Batista. Oh my god, I need to show a picture in a minute. Uhm, anyway, uhm.

[Assistant] Really charmed over Zoe Saldana, and I remember it being the weirdest thing in the world. I was just watching like, what is happening exactly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and I got drunk. Very drunk. Very, very, very drunk indeed. In fact, so drunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I woke up the next day with a three day hangover. It really lasted. And only day was special. And I woke up to see a picture on my phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then all the memories came flushing back of me with Xavier Woods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the rest has really put themselves through a lot for us. They do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Asuka was holding the title belt and I did cut to her and I was like, oh, remember? I think the difference between Cory and Bobby is very much that Cory seems mean-spirited, whereas Bobby


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Cory seems like he thinks he's better than you, whereas Bobby, Jerry Lawler, the best kind of heel commentators, you see they're a bit snivelly. Do you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also think he faces a lot of the same criticisms he has now as, like, that he did then, do you know what I mean? Um, yeaah, I don't know, that's a good question though, because I think there's been a lot of good, you know, it's like who, even Vince's picks have been given a different direction.
