[Assistant] We said it's my job is to drive the car, not put out the fire. He didn't come out, he trusted his team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To put the fire out, as soon as the fire was out, boom, it was gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That kind of focus was what made Michael Schumacher one of the greatest in his genre. And I think at the moment we've got three teams who are sitting there and thinking, yes, I went Vettel. How did I not go Schumacher? But we've had such a good round, really such a good round of Alteas. And I think you'll see that reflected on the scoreboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] St. George's, Missouri, jointly in the lead with 45. You had a good round. You did a bit of a nadal on that round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Xavier Skolkata, 45, but you've held on, but now you need to go ahead. And Tiffany, they're just there. They're saying, look, we're not done yet. We're closed. Because our next round, there's so many points available that this really doesn't tell you very much. But we've got three really good teams. How good are you? We've got an audience question for you. Here's the question. The test of my life is the title of which Indian cricketers autobiography


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He battled cancer successfully. There's the giveaway. If you don't know already, just hang on. We'll come back after the break. When we come back in 40 years, we'll have the answer for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is like a super over. You know what? Timpani Vishakhapatnam, if you get this right, you're going to create quite a flutter in this round of photos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back, this is the Ultimate Sports Quiz 2022 and we've got a riveting contest on our hands. But before we get back to these wonderful teams, we'd ask you a question before going into the break. The title of the autobiography of which Indian cricketer who battled cancer successfully was the test of my life? The answer of course was Yuvraj Singh and what a player he was. It's time to play Fortis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the rules to play are pretty simple. One team member steps aside and sits on the bench, watches the teammate play. The team captain decides which of the two will end up playing. Everyone has access to the questions, you go on the buzzer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember there's 10 points for a correct answer, minus 5 for a wrong one, and that's true all the way with the 10 questions. But after 5 questions, the captains can opt for a substitution and swap players. Okay, so let's ask the teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ashish, Ayush, St. George's, Basuri, who's playing? Ayush, I'm playing. Ayush, you're playing? Okay. Ashish, you've got a great view from there. Keep your eye on your teammate. Dhruv, Shrinjoy? I'm playing. Dhruv, you're playing? Okay. Right, Rhea Tejas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, this is the round that decides who goes through. Chop on your buzzers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of which league in February 2022?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a plus 10, there's a minus 5. These two teams are all together. Nobody's taking a chance. Right? Okay, your time's gone. Anyone of you three sitting there? Okay, now let's just assume there's no negatives. Do you want to take a chance? Volleyball. Volleyball. Volleyball, you said St. George's, Missouri. Volleyball it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Introduced as a demonstration sport at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taekwondo is a martial art sport from which Asian country?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] St. George's. South Korea. Why are you looking so worried? South Korea is correct. Well done, St. George's Suri.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's move on. We've still got loads of questions left. Here's question number three. The Autodrome Nazionale di Monza is used for which Grand Prix that takes place in Europe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plus 10 minus 5. I suspect that's holding people back. That's one of the qualities of this one. Nobody going for it? Okay, your time's up. The answer was Italy. Okay, here we go. Next question. Who scored two headers


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the final, to spearhead his country to the FIFA World Cup title in 1998 in Paris.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No? Everyone is playing so safe. Everyone's trying not to take a chance. Okay, your time's gone. Zinedine. Zinedine Zidane, 1998.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I think all of you need to be a little braver as we go into question number five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Henry Hakinen or Henri Hakinen won bronze, who won the gold medal at the same event at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely right, St. Xavier's, Kolkata. Oh, you needed those 10 points, didn't you? 55, 55, 35. It's still very close. It's still anybody's game. We're halfway through 40s. Do you want to swap? Are you happy with swapping? Xavier's are swapping, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shrinjo has come back, he's replaced Dhruv. And Rhea, you're staying on. Okay, she's playing it very calmly. She's not taken any chance yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five questions left. Potentially 50 points to earn, but maybe 25 to lose. Question number six in fortieths.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the 2005 film Iqbal, Shreyas Talpade plays a specially-abled fast bowler. Which World Cup-winning all-rounder captain makes a guest appearance? Think it through. There's a lot of clues in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many World Cup winning all-rounder captains are there? The answer of course was Kapil Dev.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kapil Dev in Iqbal made by Nagesh Kukanoor. Let's go into question number seven. What was first presented?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1949, to the tournament's winner, called Sam Snead, who was an American professional golfer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] St. George's Mussoorie. A green jacket. A green jacket! Absolutely right. A green jacket and therefore this of course was the... Masters. The Augusta Masters. Well done, St. George's Mussoorie. And with three to play, they've just slunk ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10 points, 65, 55, 35, 3 questions left. This is starting to look like a T20 finale. Let's go into question number 8. Which Asian country


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holds the record for winning the most number of men's hockey World Cup


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And your answer is? Pakistan. It's Pakistan!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two to play, St. George's, Mussoorie, St. Xavier's, Kolkata. This is why this round is called 40th. Where you stay strong, but you stay calm. Two questions to decide who goes through. Here is question number nine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael Phelps lost the 2016 Olympics 100 meter butterfly gold to Joseph Schuhling, thereby giving which Asian country its first ever Olympic gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, your time's gone. We've still got a tie for number one. Any of you? Singapore. Singapore! Yes! The answer was Singapore. So who'd have thought this is like a super-over, though it's still part of the main tournament. St. George's, Missouri, you're on 65. St. Xavier's, Kolkata, you're on 65. And you know what? Timpani, Vishakhapatnam, if you get this right, you're going to create quite a flutter in this round of 40s. Two teams level on 65.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One question left. Let's see if we get into a super over. Here is question number ten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rohit Sharma, yes, St. George's Mussoorie. The answer is Rohit Sharma. You cannot get a closer finish than this. Oh, St. George's Mussoorie. What are you going to do if you ever meet Rohit Sharma? Just say thank you very much. You got us into the next round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excellent, very well done St. George's Mussoorie. What a fantastic round we've had. Can I get all three of you to come back and rejoin your teammates? I thought you were fantastic. This was a fabulous round of quizzing. Let's take a look now at that scoreboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 30, I thought you started off really well, but 40th, you needed to take a little chance because you were the team that was trailing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you were worried about your negative marks, but I thought you were really good, so well done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You come right to the last ball. I hope when you watch cricket now, you'll realize the pressure that comes with a last ball win, but you are outstanding. St. Xavier's Kolkata finished with 65.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ashish and Ayush from St. George's, Missouri, 75, a dead heat, going right into the last, it was like a photo finish in the 100 meters, and you discover who's won by half a centimeter, that's what it was, that's what separates one team from the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] St. George's from Basuri is our first team to book a place in the semi-finals of this Ultimate Sports Quiz 2022. But the question remains, who will be the other eight teams?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goodbye for now, till we are back with another set of brilliant young minds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? How long is it since we've seen each other?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it was yesterday, Hildy. Been seeing me in your dreams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You always carry an umbrella, Bruce? Well, it looked a little cloudy this morning. That's right, rubbers too, I hope. Atta boy, a man ought to be prepared for any emergency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You sir? Yes, that's alright for me. Bring some mustard too, Gus. Yes sir. Ah, well, well, well. So, uh, you two are gonna get mad, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She didn't know I was in town. Well, uh, Bruce, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm good for, well, we'll say at least 25 years yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, by that time, you'll probably have made enough so that the money won't mean anything to you. But suppose you haven't made good, Bruce. What about Hilde's old age? Think of Hilde. Ah, I can see her now. White head, lavender and old lace. Can't you see her, Bruce? Yes. Yes, I can. She's old, isn't she?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, into this little tortured mine came the idea that that gun had been produced for use, and use it he did. But the state has a production for use plan too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has a gallows, and at 7 a.m., unless a miracle occurs, that gallows will be used to separate the soul of Earl Williams from his body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bruce's money? Sure, sure, sure. You'll get it. Now, what's the story? I'll send the money right down to you. I swear it on my mother's grave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Young ladies seem to have a dizzy spell and I just... Huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am looking at you, you murderer. Ah, now if it was my own grandmother, I'd carry on. You know I would for the paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I know I deserve that, Ellie. Wait a minute, Duffy. But this is one time you're wrong. Look, honey, when you walk out that door, part of me will go right with you. But a whole new world's gonna open up for you. I made fun of Bruce and Albany and all that kind of thing. You know why? Why? I was jealous. I was sore because he could offer you the kind of life I can't give you. That's what you want, honey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything's changed. Tell him we have to stand by by coming over to the office. No, don't worry about the story. He'll just gonna write it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told me boys, I'd sure like to see that that Henry is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he thinks we are here, and he wants us to know this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you come as a friend, or do you come to speak the cause of the white soldier? I come in friendship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are two against one. Venge your soldiers to help you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy Buffalo still blame white woman. Mrs. Carver saved my life. There are those that would take her captive. And perhaps take her scalp. I do not worry about Crazy Buffalo. Crazy Buffalo is not alone in the way that he feels. Many of our people every day find it harder to trust the whites.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My father asked to see you. Come with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. You must know Mr. Roberts pretty well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got more than ten words. Night letter, get there first thing in the morning. He drives fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today we're gonna be trying out fucking Companion Spring 2 by Ross.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I noticed that, you know, you've had all this success, you're on a panel right now at ASCAP teaching all these people, and you still were this person that I was like, I wanna be friends with her. How do you stay so grounded with such success and gaining momentum continually, yet you are literally the chillest person?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew they couldn't kill my boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never forget who you are, where you are and who you're representing, but that's a different issue. You're a tie. Now, I want to talk international football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you didn't have many mates at club level. You must have had even fewer at international.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what you're saying is, when you were Billy No-Mates, you were nice to everybody, and as soon as your mates arrived, the cliques formed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're now playing for England together. Yeah, but that's damaging. You're not there for Manchester United. You are there for England. You've got to generate good feeling in the squad. Team spirit. So you're going off on your own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Gareth Southgate takes his squad to Kosovo next. What's it like going to places like that with England? You must have experienced it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have a mate who you actually considered a friend who you spoke to who wasn't at Manchester United.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it should be, it's accurate. Right, final question, and it's a big one. Would you admit, slash, confirm that Jamie Carragher is now your mate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rest of you don't think though, the bonding, that that weekend away we all have, where there's no show, there's no, we all just go away together for the weekend, that's brilliant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, this does not work with, you know, when we all go away for the weekend together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're an online store. We have over like 200 vendors, brands that we carry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's just like a shit show. It's like a really fun website with lots of like crazy popping things going on and we just like really try to like capture the trends hella early and like just spit that shit back out. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We like really understand each other and like know when like things are rough and like we can like feel the vibes and we just like get over it and like know when to like approach and what not to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean we just don't, we're such creatives and like we have like so many ideas and just like not being able to execute like everything that's going on in our head is like the most frustrating thing and like not having the resources financially, like the manpower to like make it happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean I think we know we have is like super pop and we just have to like make the right moves and I'm like confident that we can do that. So yeah, not too scared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I mean like, we're like very authentic, like no filter, almost to a fault, but I think that's like what people like about us is that we're not super manufactured, we're not trained, or we're just like young girls out here doing it, and we're doing it. So, just kinda work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blue eyed blonde haired boy with like a dreads, like it just, it got like 50,000 nodes like spout out of control. After like 5,000, the majority of them were like my response was just like, I'm a woman of color business owner. You're dragging me down. This is like, what the fuck is wrong with Tumblr?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's like, as much as I'm on the internet, like, we have real careers, and like, we make it look really cute, but we fucking hustle hard. Right. So, you know, I'm not interested in bringing anyone else down, or like, anything like that. There's much better things to do at your time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like that. And then it's just like the appearance stuff is just like so crazy. It's like funny. It's like shave your sideburns. Someone said yesterday, it's like, hey, sideburns are the wave. Either ride it or drown. Get the fuck out of my, off my feet. Like, what are you gaining?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we have an office space in New York and we were just like visiting here a lot and like really liked it and we're just taking like the best meetings like personally enjoying ourselves for like the first time like living and we're just like you know what we have to have a presence here like a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like we started using Instagram from like very early on when I was like doing this in my dorm room and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we racked up like a good amount of followers. I was taking like stupid pictures like on my dorm floor of like the products in my hand. And then like, yea, we would just start showing up on the pop-up page every single photo. And then all of a sudden, you know, Instagram gets bought by Facebook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it works for us. Like it directly translates to sales. Like if we post once an hour, we'll have a week hour. And then when we pick it up, we'll have a great hour. And like we can have merchandise. We have like over 2000 products that it's like been slow and then we'll post a pic of it and people will remember that it exists and then go on the site and buy it. That's like a really powerful tool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, but that's what we get for putting all our eggs in one basket and I would like recommend anyone not to do that and like diversify the fuck out of your advertising because if like, something doesn't go right, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, Facebook sucks. I don't know, like straight marketers will say that and like I'm waiting to hire one of them because we're just like creative marketers and we like look for like shit that's gonna like react immediately, but Facebook like will choose what they want to put on people's newsfeed. It's like a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Serious, like, you'll never show up. It's like, you can have 50,000 fans and like 800 people will see a post, cause they want you to pay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They want you to pay and it's like, it hasn't proven to be worth it. We don't know and can't spend enough time like learning it. So like as soon as we can hire someone, we'll just dump a bunch of money into Facebook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Black kind of black out and like my phone with no phone case on it just dropped and it has like a little like bend in and just like went down and then like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the screen was already shattered for like the sixth time, like earlier in the night, so I was just like, fuck this phone, like I really want a six plus, like I'm just gonna go and fortunately buy a six plus, uhm, and get a good case, and like actually use a fucking case, not that we don't sell a million cases, like I don't even use a case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, this one we just bought from someone else. Yeah, China. It's funny, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, so then like a couple days later I like, I think it's like gonna be such a big deal to call the sanitation department, that's what 311 said to do, and I called and they literally showed up in like 30 minutes, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guys went down, there's like a ladder, it's crystal clean down there, and I have like the best vine of the guy like handing me my phone. I'm like, oh my god, the sewer phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, like, less than a week later, one of our employees, shout out Stoveman, our marketing director, like, had my credit card to go to Chick-fil-A because we were doing a photo shoot, and he was outside and just like dropped the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he was able, with his man strength, just like up and get the sewer top, and voila, we had, we fuckin' milked the shit out of it, we all-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just like a little nice like break, social, like mental.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not super immediately, and like, we don't produce those, we get it from a vendor that we do dropship with, so they ship directly, and they basically just like have graphics that they throw up on like a block, on a mockup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also have like Hillary Clinton, like everybody, like things we don't judge, we just like serve it all and like it's for whoever is into it to like decide what they want to make of it. And we definitely get a lot of critique about it, but it's like, hey, we're not discriminating, we got Hillary, we have George Bush, like it's just like, if you dig it, you dig it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, I see a lot of like fan pages and stuff, like comment on mine. I mean, we do a lot of cross promotion, like if it's like Seth Rollins birthday, like Shop Jean will post like a happy birthday video, cause they like know if it's home for me. And we try to like insert a lot of that like personal stuff, make it as authentic and relatable as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then like, I would come home and she'd be playing, I'd be like, mom, turn this shit off, like me and my boyfriend do not want to watch this, this is so embarrassing, you're embarrassing me, I'm going back to college, leave me alone. And then when I actually got home from school, it's when I was doing shop jean and like living in my mom's living room,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we get it, but they're like athletes and they get like really hurt and I'll be the first person to defend that. But I respect the hell out of like the business that they've built. They have like 800 employees, like 150 of them are independent contracting wrestlers who like have, there's so much liability. They have so many subsectors like the merch. They have a streaming network, which is so ahead of its time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's 52 weeks a year, there's a da- there's a show the day after Christmas, there's usually two shows simultaneously happening, there's two live shows a week, one tape show, and sometimes a second live show. I mean a third live show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so like planned and it's such a game and they're pulling so many strings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's a term called kayfabe, which is when you don't know like what's real life and what's like the storylines. Like if someone's like seen after a couple seen after a show together, it's like, wait, are they really dating or is it the storyline? There's just so much crossover and it tricks your mind and you don't know what's real. And like we apply that to like real life so much. Like we're not like conspiracy theorists, but like I never take anything for face value. I'm just like, there's something orchestrated going on here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of stuff in the media, like Chris Jenner's pulling hella strings, Vince McMahon's pulling hella strings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they really try to like tap all markets and like make sure everyone's taken care of. Like they have a massive Spanish community, they have a massive female community.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got the kids, they get the people down south, like who lives in a country, they do a lot of shit with like Florida, Georgia line, and I'm just like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Philly's really big too. And New York and LA are like the biggest. They get the rowdiest crowds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It depends, like there were nights where we were here where I probably went out like six days and then this week, the past two weeks I don't think I haven't been out once. That's a lie. Maybe twice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For sure. Yeaah. I feel bad drinking this beer right now, but like I'm 23. A single beer. And I just feel bad because like our target demo is like 16 to 28, but we like definitely have younger kids. Like I see the kids who like tag on Instagram and like there can be some like 5 year olds who get a pizza pillow from their mom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean like recreationally, like, and it's like not used as like an escape method. It's just like, I'm such, I have such like a hyper personality. I just need to like chill sometimes, which is valid. So yeah, like not like in any means like crazy about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean I was like doing lemonade stands and stuff like every summer as a kid, like every fucking day, like my mom would go crazy. It was just like a one time thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad like left when I was like 3 and my mom was like a housewife and then when he left she like had to like pick her shit back up and like start from scratch. She didn't go to college so here's this like 35 year old woman like competing with like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's not like there's not like any one instance I can like pinpoint. It just like is a common theme and like, you know, I have like 30 strikes against me, like I'm young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm colored, and I'm a woman. And it's like, I honestly feel like the age, like, fucks me more than the being of color or being a woman. Cause it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I built something awesome, like with no knowledge, just like figuring it out, but like there's still just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cuz like, I just like wanna be your friend, and like want your support, and like wanna be cool, so it's like when emotions get in the way, it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I love that you read my mind. I do read your mind. Like, we literally, like, finish each other's sentences constantly. Like, I'll think something, she'll say it, and like, there's no hindsight bias behind that. Like, we literally, like, are like, one in the same. And that's, like, so fucking rare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's a genius, like, and so is Chris, but like, before she, like, was this figure, I remember lingering her because she was dating Benji Madden from Good Charlotte, and I used to love Good Charlotte when I was like 10 to 14. Wait, Kim was? Kim was. That's interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she would go into celebrities, her celebrity friend's closet and clean them out and sell the stuff on eBay and that's like what I was doing at the time. I transitioned from like selling autographs to going to sample sales like Tory Burch and shit and then like flipping that shit on eBay so I was like

[Assistant] This girl's vibing with me, like, so, like, she's had that hustle from really early on, and like, people say she doesn't do shit, I get infuriated, cause she's so hardworking, and like, you don't know what it takes to like, build that kind of a brand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everything that they do is a strategy, this family, you know? And like, yea, they have a team of people who like, execute on it, but like, they're very careful and strategic and like, I respect the fuck out of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like we said earlier, like, atheist, goth, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just like, walk in the office really furiously. This girl comes up to me, she's like, oh my god, are you Aaron from Shop Jean? I was like, no. And I just kept walking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I turn the corner and another girl comes up to me and I'm like, whoa, this doesn't happen like that in New York at all. And you know, not like, not an event. And I was like, this is my fucking chance to redeem myself. So that was so nice. I talked to her for like five minutes and I was like, okay, I'm never going to do that again. Lesson learned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause I used to get really into it. I used to do the Instagram 3 to 5 times an hour early on and like, it's my baby. Like I take everything a hell of personally and I just had to like step back and yeah, let someone else handle it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and the thing is, like, we don't, like, up until now, like, none of our stuff is parodied, and like, it's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, not Drake, people who own the license. You know what I mean? Drake loves that shit. Drake fuckin' wiped a bitch from sending, sliding into DMs with that whole fit on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but I remember when Walentown Soup came out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When children were taken as hostages, it did not mean prisoners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was all part of the political negotiation in which alliances had to be formed because no one trusted no one else. So there had to be a guarantee and therefore the hostage was used.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you took a hostage in a certain class, they were usually treated very cordially and they were given education.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just as they would be, uh, given at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He probably had a very stoic, spartan kind of education.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taught military skills, martial arts, and Chinese classics, Japanese classics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The entire life of Yes was that of patience and forbearance, people say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In crisis, they would have to be prepared to kill themselves rather than be shamed, disgraced by the enemies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether to go along with the hosted family but at all times he never forgot


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His ambition to go back to his original castle and to regain all the territory that his father's family had and to expand that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those people who are in the castle would wash their heads and they would put some cosmetics on the face of the dead corpses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was part of the, very small part of what they did, which is inconceivable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could now afford to get education, develop their taste, cultural taste, and, uh, emulate the high class samurai.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It gave them fantasy, imagination and romance. It was like Hollywood, where celebrity was so important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a distinct difference between the geisha and the kodizans. Geisha were professional entertainers. They did not rely on sex, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] for entertaining men. They had their music, their singing, playing musical instruments and dancing, uh, whereas the courtesans


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, entertain the clients with a conversation and sexual gratifications.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they've just wanted to fulfill their sexual need all over Edo, there are plenty of illegal cheap prostitutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they wanted to come to Yoshiwara because it was such a prestigious and special place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Yoshiwara courtesans were trained to think that they were better than their clients.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if a man wanted to visit Yoshiwara, he had to prepare for it six months in prior. He had to buy a fine set of sword. He had to think about what to wear because he wouldn't just go there. The courtesan had the right to turn down her client if she didn't like him, even if he could afford to pay for her. Therefore, he wanted to make a good impression on the courtesan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the sly, I went to see any other person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The courtesan's aunt Raj had every right to punish him. His hair would cut off. He would be made to wear women's red kimono. And he would be taunted by everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the word ukiyo, uh, still retained its buddhistic sense of this transitory life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's in the, it's impermanence. This life's suffering was still there, particularly for the courtesans and prostitutes, all of whom had some kind of trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Music of blues in the jazz world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is very reminiscent of the word ukiyo to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, brothel keepers lost their pride. They had become slaves of money making and they became much less compassionate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And treated prostitutes miserably and there was some death. Toward the end of the period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're born into being a samurai, it's a responsibility. Amongst the responsibilities of being a samurai was always carrying one's sword, uh, to use to enact justice. If somebody were rude to you, it was your duty to kill them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if they were caught without a sword, they could be punished for not upholding their duty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The life of a samurai, they aren't allowed to work. They're given enough money to live on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And mostly what they do is they spend every day at the house of a friend drinking and talking and studying and doing tea and reading books of old war tales and imagining what it would have been like to live in the 1500s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some ruler might decide that morals are going to hell in a handbasket and suddenly grab one person and punish them severely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was that, but someone I weren't allowed to engage in commerce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And therefore, gradually, they see a lot of wealthy merchants more able to do all of the things that they want to do, uh, because they have more money than your common samurai.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It represented for them the ideal that samurai were so selfless and devoted to honor and to their lord that they would give up their lives. And this was reassuring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spent their time drinking and partying and watching the theater and being selfish like us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not you. Oh, not me, eh? No, not you. You'd better stop saying things about my mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back. Thank you. Thank you very much for joining again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Continue our discussion on spirituality and social justice with a more specific focus on the Indian context with respect to the caste system. Will that be okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we will take the same template as we did last time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We discussed last time what is right about social justice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was the original intent behind the car system and how that was beneficial? What went wrong with it and how it is wrong today and how it can be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How it can be set right or how spiritual wisdom can help to set things right as they exist today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, two things are there over here. When we talk about perfect, see nothing is perfect as soon as you apply it. Even if you consider the field of medicine, as soon as the human element comes in, people commit mistakes. So even the best of doctors commit mistakes. So if you look for a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfect application of something. It's usually only in theory. But in practice I would like to draw attention to three facts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First is that the Indian civilization, Indian culture, whatever you want to call it, has had incredible resilience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, practically none of the other civilizations


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are still existing. Ancient civilizations are Greek, Mesopotamian, Sumerian, Mayan. Chinese are still existing, but modern China has very little in similarity in cultural continuity with ancient China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That although India was subjected to so many invasions and there were so many ways in which the social structure could have been disrupted and people had alternatives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the caste system, even as it existed, even if it had been, even if it was problematic for many many centuries, it still also gave a sense of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Connectedness and belonging to a unit bigger than one's family. I would like to quote some thinkers over here. These are not necessarily Indian or Vedic thinkers. There are three major quotes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no doubt that the caste is the main cause of the fundamental stability and contentment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By which Indian society has been braced for centuries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It provides every man with his place, his career, his occupations, his circle of friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It protects him through life from the canker of social jealousy and unfulfilled aspirations. It ensures him companionship and a sense of continuity with others in like case with himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The caste organization is to the Hindu, his club, his trade union, his benefit society, his philanthropic society. But this is almost it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an endologist, more than an endologist, about 50 to 100 years ago, 50 years ago roughly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have two other quotes, which I can, Mark Trulli is a contemporary thinker also. Mark Trulli is a music correspondent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the alienation of many young people in the West and the loneliness of the old show the suffering that egalitarianism inflicts on those who do not win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The superficiality of an egalitarianism which in effect means equal opportunities for all to win and then ignores the inevitable losers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Gerard Hurdle is also, Gerard Hurdle is also from an Indian endologist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his book, Man the Master, he calls Varanashram as organic democracy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All men are known to be of equal value. Could we?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could say elaborate, elaborate apologetic defense of the Indian tradition and the caste system. These are three core summits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to discuss each of these more, unless of course you would like to respond to any of these first, then we can go further.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things about the Indian history was that the villages were self-sufficient and that's why to a large extent,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The villages were the sources of prosperity. The wealth was generated in the villages. India is primarily an agricultural land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the city is where the centers of prosperity, so the sources and centers are two different things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whenever the invaders would come, they would usually plunder the cities and the rulership of the cities would change. But because India was such a big country and whoever would come and rule


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They knew that they wouldn't be able to restructure the management of an entire country or even if they were ruling one patch of the country still. So they didn't significantly alter


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The socio- socioeconomic structure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of the organization in the rural society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Discrepancies, I would say not discrepancies. There have also been atrocities which were done. But there are something which is systemic and there is something which is incidental. For example, there is well documented evidence that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Sati, especially when it was done forcibly, was reprehensible. But even from the time of the Mahabharat, you see Sati was not a forcible practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to some extent when the British opposed it, made it a law to ban it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's when some people try to do it more, because they say it's our own cultural practice, how dare you interfere with it. So similarly, with respect to the caste system,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Buddhism and Jainism offered people, offered Indians alternatives to get out of the lower caste status.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And some people left. Subsequently Islam came and Islam used the power of the sword.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well as the opportunity that you could get out of the caste system. Some people left, but many did not. So yea, still the, when the British came,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's another quote I have, I could find it out. Macaulay, or Macaulay said that I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen a single beggar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not a single beggar across the country. And then he said these are the people who are so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only way we can rule them is if we can voluntarily convince them of our superiority. Political power is not going to work and that's why he tried to anglicise the Indian mind. He said that we should have an educational system, uh, which will...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] educate the Indians so that they start seeing what we, our way of living as admirable and they start looking at their own social system as lower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now all this is not to at all to say that there hasn't been discrimination. There has been terrible discrimination. But the point we're making is it's a matter of scale and perspective that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While there was division, like these three quotes which I said that, which I read out, basically there were benefits to the socials, to the division of society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the evils that were there, they were not as much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Discrimination and exploitation are simply facts of human nature. And if you want to compare that way, look at what the European colonialists did to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did to the Native Americans in America in North America as well as to the Mayans, the Aztecs and others in South America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Native Americans, they are probably millions and millions and they are now a few thousands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And 2000 year old civilization, the Mayan civilization was destroyed even without weapons of mass destruction within a few decades by the, by the Spanish conquerors. So as compared to that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] India, the lower caste, no matter how much they were discriminated against, still, they survived, and not only they survived,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So all that I'm saying is we need to see things in perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but if you consider the very fact that wherever power has been acquired, there has been exploitation. The exploitation is not as bad as it is portrayed. It is as if sometimes the caste system is portrayed as this caste system represents the utter evil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the Indian traditional system because of which nothing from the Indian tradition should even be considered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just reading a book about American culture called Sustainable Decadence. Sustainable Decadence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] America's future will not be as affected by political radicalism, no matter how far it goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As it will be affected by how America deals with the increasing problems of substance abuse and mental health.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are certain issues which become highlighted in the media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is people's mental health or is people's self-destructive habits, are they going to change because of who is in power?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unlikely. Some people might get frustrated because of certain political changes and may


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, may use, get into abusive habits more, but basically,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we do not tie ourselves too much to the, to the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Media and the media's perception of reality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Power of agency to chart their own future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you go back to the original system, which is called as Varanashram,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should I go back to the subject or you want to add something more?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Social justice basically has the idea that there is unfairness in society and sometimes it's horrible and it needs to be resolved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, do we have across the world even today


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Certainly, some countries may be more successful than others, but overall, to go back to those three quotes, I would like to make one-one point based on each quote. So, can I go back to the quotes? Sure, sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gerald Hurd uses the word organic democracy and he talks about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All men being said to be equal, which is a lie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the American Declaration of Rights began with all people, all men are equal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever material metric we use, people will come out unequal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it is height or weight or complexion or IQ or EQ or whatever parameter we take for measuring people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it is drawing ability, eloquence, whether it is anecdotal ability, even artisan practical skills, whatever it is. So at a material level,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Equality is not a self-evident fact at all. In fact, what is self-evident is, is inequality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in any classroom, it's not that students are all equally endowed. In any cross section of people,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even twins are not necessarily equally endowed, what to speak of a broader cross section of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hunch. By metaphysical I'm not using the word necessarily philosophical, but something more in the physical. It's not a physically evident fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And rather than claiming artificially that people are equal,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people are, some people are brilliant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people are outstanding and some people are outstandingly forgetful. Some students say read something once and just remember it. Some people read 50 times and still they can't remember it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just by a, by a declaration or a constitution, we cannot change the reality of nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the word organic democracy was used by Gerald Herd. So the example in the tradition for this is that of a body, the society being compared to a body. Maybe, would you like to elaborate that example?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's an author. He's a western, maybe the Indiologist from the west basically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there is, just a context, in the history of Indology, before, uh, political, you know, Devamritswami in his book,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which before that there was like appreciation for many Indian things. But afterwards it was lost. That could be a subject in itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. But, but he eh, but there are many, many thinkers who have actually appreciated and he's one among them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, there is division of labour, but there is not necessarily discrimination. In fact, I have seen some, some people who are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Critical of the caste system, they take this very metaphor and they say it's insulting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To say that the Shudras are compared to the legs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that kind of criticism misses the point that the legs are also important and the legs are weakened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the body can't function as easily and normally as it could otherwise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So again now there is, we could say there is equality in principle and there is equality in practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe a few years ago, I remember, some of this incident is in my memory that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the then American President Obama had come to UK,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They entered into the house of commons and there was a guard over there. So as they were entering, Obama shook hands with the guard while going in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of attitudes, maybe the British still have a stuck up attitude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whereas the Americans have such a down-to-earth attitude towards everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now while, while that might be true, still the fact remains that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that guard is not going to go inside and discuss matters of international security. It is the president who is going to go inside. So in principle, everybody should be respected as a human being. There is some intrinsic worth for everyone. In practice, everybody has different roles. And, uh, now the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody is constantly relegated to a lower role without their getting an opportunity to have a higher role.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the legs can't do the work which the hands can do or the head can do. But if the head is damaged,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you cannot just claim that this is the head and everybody else has to obey me. There are times when people are injured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That means there is a hierarchy based on competence and there could be a hierarchy based on exploitation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no need to presume intrinsically that any hierarchy that is there will necessarily be based on exploitation. So in a surgical setting,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everybody has their role to play and everybody plays a valuable role.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So first point is that what we discussed at this, the presumption that this is an unjust system is not necessarily true because if


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if at least in principle we understand that if people, different people have different abilities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if they are engaged accordingly, then they all can contribute equally. They are not equal but they can contribute equally. So now in today's world,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where we say that everyone is equal, but there's a major problem that comes because of that. I'd like to explore another quote for this purpose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The alienation of many young people in the West and the loneliness of the old show the suffering that Egalitarian inflicts on those who do not win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The superficiality of an egalitarianism which in effect means


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Equal opportunities for all to win and then ignore the inevitable losers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if it is glamorized, everybody can be an entrepreneur. Everybody can maybe become this CEO of a big startup in future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could be the next Bill Gates by the age of 33.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then you realize that you are just at the, at the middle of the middle rungs of a corporate structure and you are going fast 40 and that leads to so much depression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather than having this presumption that everybody has equal opportunity and then there will be losers because not everybody is equally endowed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, now you can say society may discriminate people based on birth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could say that birth itself is discriminated against students who say don't have a very good memory, don't have a very good analytic, especially math skills or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody is told your success in life is to become an engineer or a doctor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then everything else is seen like a consolation prize. You couldn't do that. But instead,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was social structure where everybody were given a trajectory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you are given support for pursuing the trajectory right from childhood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's, somebody dreams to be an engineer and then they have to settle to be a clerk or something like that. But instead, you know, if you are born in a particular family, that, that person has a career ahead of them. Somebody is born in a family of potters or of farmers or in royalty or in saying teachers and intellectuals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And quite often struggling and going through insecurity and then eventually experiencing frustration. That whole anxiety could be avoided.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is not necessarily a perfect system or not necessarily always been perfectly implemented, but in principle, if you understand that this had its strength.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That uh, it's sometimes said that too many options


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is what is happening. Egalitarianism says everybody is equal. You can choose any profession that you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People might just get so crippled by anxiety and uncertainty that they just don't move forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, it could actually give a lot of mental stability for people to pursue their life journey. Any thoughts on this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. The, the rejection of hierarchy does not create equality, it creates anarchy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's say an incredible amount of ingratitude toward the existing structure. That's a typical characteristic of leftist thought. Every system throughout history has had its problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to reject something because of its flaws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now, again, the point over here is that, yes, caste system, there was a hierarchy, and within that hierarchy, uh, there were blemishes. But did that mean necessarily that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That presumption, it's like, uh, as they say, throw the baby out with the bath water. So, just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have to pay that much attention to that. When we are driving, suppose somebody is driving a car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The eye focus is okay. Those who are on the road and about to come on my path, I have to focus on them more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what are the kind of buildings in the, what kind of area I am passing through? Okay, that I can notice, but that's not the foremost importance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing any, something as simple as driving a vehicle, we need to place our observations in a hierarchy of importance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, I read one psychological definition of insanity. Insanity means to, is the failure to place things in their proper hierarchy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what applies at an individual level also applies at a social level, that war, that we have to have some kind of hierarchy for society to function. And ironically,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those communists who, or those leftists who say that hierarchies are bad and they have to be destroyed, eventually they end up demanding the creation of even more rigid hierarchies where they are at the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are treated like a pariah. They are treated like an untouchable. And who decides what is politically correct? It is those who are leftists, they decide that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as I think George Orwell said famously that all people are equal, communism, but some people are more equal than others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think this is an important point which should move forward that hierarchies are required


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the third quote, I'll just quickly go to that. It adds one more point to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so this is the app point I started with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It protects him through a life, through life from the canker of social jealousy and unfulfilled expectations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, what happens is people just get atomized and lost in the vastness of the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the cities and the concrete jungles and the corporate giants. People just feel like insignificant cog in the wheel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if there is a village, there is a town, there is a city,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In which, say, there are people who are of a similar profession, and they all are together as a group, then there is a sense of community that comes over there. And that sense of community becomes, as I said, their insurance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yes, there is division of society, but the division also creates a sense of cohesion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if there is no division, there is no cohesion. So one, one aspect of leftist thought is the rejection of, uh, national boundaries. Why should we have, all of humanity is one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now the current Covid crisis has shown how important national boundaries are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Dashrath wanted to pass over the power to Ram. At that time he called


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, assembly to consult and inform, and it is said that along with the courtiers, there were representatives from all the four varanas. And all of them had a voice over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ram is eminently qualified to do this. So they are all seated in their own places, their own areas and the idea was that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, overlooked in the emphasis on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It helps them get a sense of community with others and uh, so kshatriya, so while at one level the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in that sense, his idea is that it's the club, it's the philanthropic society. So rather than simply going out to someone who is of a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who is a money lender or who is somebody from whom you have to ask for charity?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there is a, the house of say a British lord or someone and says one worker gets injured over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then everybody else pitches in to do the work of that worker and they take care of that worker. Why? Because they understand that we are all one unit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And today I take care of that person and tomorrow they will take care of me. So, so all these people are working. They have a sense of cohesion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, that is important. Now you might, we might focus on the fact that none of these workers can ever become the Lord. Well, that is true. That may be true in that particular context.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There being workers together as a unit, uh, there are cases, you know, for example,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are say, British lords who had the same butler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The butler's son would become the next butler in the next generation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there was a certain amount of stability in that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The idea of upward mobility, which is so prominent in today's world, this was not there so much in the past. And we could call that as a deficiency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this fantasy that anybody can rise to any height in society, a few people do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it also sends, it also keeps the remaining in a constant state of dissatisfaction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, now if we consider the pendulum, there is the capital, capitalism, communism, and then we have the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have the caste system. Now, I would like to use the word Varanashram, but we'll come to that a little later. Let's keep it caste system at this stage, despite the negative connotation. So capitalism says that in presumption, everybody is equal, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if it's a meritocratic society, but the idea is let the market determine everyone's position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let the market be the sole determiner of everyone's position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Communism says, basically, let the state determine everyone's position. The state will decide, you will be doing this job, you will be doing this job. Whereas, the caste system says, well, nature has already determined your position. You just act according to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if we can find a position that is harmonious with that, that will be good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the real problem within varnation comes up when there are misfit. Like you said, misfits can be of two kinds. Somebody is placed in a lower position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now here we are lower, not using lower in a judgmental sense, but in a functional sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So somebody is placed in a lower position when they can work at a higher position. And somebody sticks to a higher position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even when they, they are not capable of functioning at that higher position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now how would be the real challenge with any kind of system like this would be? How to ensure that people are in that position?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, Nahusha asked Yudhishthir,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nausha is a king who has now become, who has been cursed, who has become a snake, and now he is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So at that time, he asked, what is the determinant of caste? And then he distributes an elaborate answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he says traditionally worth itself was a fair determiner of one's qualities. Because in today's world,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Birth is seen to be simply a genetic accident that a man and a woman chose to unite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, based on the way they united, uh, then their genes came together and gave a progeny. But within the Vedic worldview,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And based on the disposition of the uniting couple,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A Brahmana and a Brahmani, those who are intellectuals, they would attract the soul of intellectual disposition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not just birth, it's also they would get the upbringing. So then that upbringing also provides a head start. It's like somebody is born in a family of doctors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they want, they are innately inclined to be artists. Then throughout their, maybe their childhood and youth,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So actually, if we understand or at least theoretically accept the idea that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are multiple that, there is an evolving soul and the soul's position in this, uh, life is not merely an accident. Then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A system where a soul is born in a particular family and the soul is trained for a particular occasion may well give that soul a head start rather than being a discrimination at all. Yeah. Any thoughts on this further?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I think the real problem came up when there's an entitlement mentality and that's what got lost. So do you think we will need another session to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Discuss how Varanashram could be applied in today's world and we talk about Vedic Varanashram and Devi and Asuri.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And other places like North America and South America, it was much worse. It was not just discrimination, it was almost extermination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In India, not only there is a resilience is there, people continue to survive and expand. So we discussed three main virtues of the, uh, of the caste, of social division according to caste. One is, it rejects the presumption that everybody is equal, but focuses on helping people make an equitable contribution by finding their position. So the idea that everybody is equal simply,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, creates a lot of tension because equality is not a self-evident physical fact. It is more of a metaphysical longing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are not only, uh, required, but they're not only not bad, but they're indispensable for functioning in society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the second point of how it was equal or how the car system was beneficial was that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It helps people give them a sense of identity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you consider, uh, education system in which IQ is the same, high IQ is essential for success, then birth itself discriminates against many students.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So rather than having one definition of success for all, all people,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have a social structure where there are different definitions of success for different people and train everyone accordingly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and the third part was that while there has been, while the focus has always been on discrimination because of the caste system,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's also been a sense of cohesion within each cast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where people from one car, people from within one car come to help each other because they know we all belong to the same social group. And rather than let the market determine the fate of people or let the state determine the fate of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The car system often maybe solved the problem of, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Individual and social engagement in a way that proved to be resilient for very long


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how it went wrong and what was to be done about it we'll discuss in a future session. Did I leave anything out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I first met this girl at London Bridge. I went there in response to an anonymous letter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I promised not to reveal the names of her associates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in face of this terrible crime, I no longer consider that promise binding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had been overwhelming, but looking back from a short distance I thought they were very similar to the sounds of battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The field hospital at which I was stationed had been shelved three times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even knowing that the flimsy walls of our temporary structures wouldn't protect us, still doctors, nurses and orderlies had all dashed inside at the first alarm, huddling together for courage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Courage is in very short supply when there are mortar shells screaming overhead and bombs going off next door. And the kind of terror I had felt then was the closest thing to what I had felt in the stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I now realize that I did recall some things about the actual trip through the stone. Very minor things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remembered a sensation of physical struggle, as though I were caught in a current of some kind. Yes, I had deliberately fought against it, whatever it was. There were images in the current too, I thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not pictures exactly. More like incomplete thoughts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some were terrifying, and I had fought away from them as I, well, as I passed. Had I fought toward others?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually chosen to come to this particular time because it offered some sort of haven from that whirling maelstrom. I shook my head. I could find no answers by thinking about it. Nothing was clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except the fact that I would have to go back to the Standing Stones. Mistress? A soft Scottish voice from the doorway made me look up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two girls, perhaps sixteen or seventeen, hung back shyly in the corridor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were roughly dressed, with clogs on their feet, and homespun scarves covering their hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one who had spoken carried a brush and several folded cloths, while her companion held a steaming pail. Mrs. Fitz's lasses, here to clean the surgery. "'We'll no be disturbing you, mistress,' one asked anxiously. "'No, no,' I assured them. I was about to leave anyway.' "'You've missed the noon meal,' the other informed me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Mrs. Fitz said to tell you, as there's food for you in the kitchens, whenever you like to go there. I glanced out of the window at the end of the corridor. The sun was, in fact, a little past the zenith, and I became conscious of increasing hunger pangs. I smiled at the girls. I might just do that. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I don't care, go ahead and threaten me and whatever, you know, let's meet at noon, but I don't like when someone threatens my little girls and Beth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A mountain range rises above the clouds and splashing water gashes over the rocks, making an ear splitting noise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the way up, we feel that we are being knocked down backwards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was very unpleasant, but I had no choice. I was afraid of what she might do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have spent days and nights rooting over the obstacles facing women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feeling alone, just like floating weeds cut off at the root, I may just follow where the water may take me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome to Overboard, Polygon's card and board game show. Today we're playing Sheriff of Nottingham, a game about bluffing and velvety sacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The object of the game is to fill your market stall with as many items as possible. This includes legal goods, like apples and chickens, as well as a legal contraband. And that's why each bag going into the market must be inspected first. Here's how it's played.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each turn, one player takes on the role of Sheriff. This role rotates every turn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the other players choose up to five cards from their hand and place them in these little bags. Each player gets their own. The sheriff then inspects the bags one at a time in any order they choose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once the sheriff has picked a bag, the owner must tell them the type and number of cards in the bag. But they can't say some combination of cards. They have to say that they're all the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is where the subversion comes in. While players can't lie about the number of items, they can lie about the type. So someone could say four apples when they actually placed two apples, one chicken, and a piece of contraband in the bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sheriff can then decide to open their bag and check what's in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if they find cards that aren't supposed to be there, the player has to pay the Sheriff a fine for each illegal card. The fines for contraband cards are especially high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, if a player is being honest, but manages to trick the sheriff into opening their bag anyway, the sheriff must pay a fine to the player for each of the cards in their bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And note, once you pop, you cannot stop. The sheriff cannot change their mind once you've heard the snap of a bag opening. However, bribing is totally fair game. For everyone. This means that the player being inspected can bribe the sheriff not to open their bag,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it also means the other players can bribe the sheriff to open the bag. You can even offer the sheriff cards from your own bag, but be careful if you're the sheriff. If the card they promised isn't there, you don't get anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While this is a game mostly about making and calling bluffs, you can learn a little bit about what other cards players have in their hand, because cards are always discarded face up into two separate piles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When drawing new cards each turn, players have the option to draw from these piles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they're willing to let everyone know what cards they now have in their hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when a player with a bunch of cheese already in their market stall claims to have five apples in the bag, you're right to be suspicious. Or maybe that's just what they want you to think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But winning requires taking those kind of risks. Speaking of, at the end of the game, players total up the value of all the goods and contraband they manage to get into their market stall, along with any money they had left over at the end of the game and any bonus money they are awarded for collecting the most of a certain type of card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's get to it and ask, what's in the bag?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I've got three bags here, and I get to decide whose I inspect first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm looking straight across the table at Jeff, so I'm gonna ask you, Jeff. Hi. What's in the bag? I have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Derailed. I've been derailed. Uh, I feel like getting three chickens right off the bat is pretty tough, so I want a money. And I won't open it. I'm a pretty dirty sheriff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you sure? Cause I can open this and you gotta pay up. Absolutely sure? I think there's three chickens in there. Just for one money? That's all I'm asking for. Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're chicken? Chicken? Damn it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three cheese. You really have- Three! Do you really have three cheese in there? Yes? You do? Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't assume that just because Jeff was actually telling the truth that you were actually the truth and I want a money and I won't open it. Just one. No. Just one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, now she has to pay me. She has to pay you the penalty, however, those get discarded. And you get to decide which discard pile they go in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me think about it a sec. Oh, two apples.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No! Uuuh, I'm uncomfortable now. It's, it's, it's not worth it to me if you just open it, unless I'm trying to make you open it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can do the, uh, the Richard Nixon from Pusarama pretty well, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I don't know why you would try so hard to get a bunch of bread through, cause that's not something you're trying to do. Give me money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll get like your five contraband through here. I know you said four, but it's four. It's only four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Two bushels of apples. Apples are my business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you give me one? No, I'm poor as fuck. But you'll get closer to bankruptcy. This is true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, look, I'm gonna, I'm gonna level with you here. There is a chicken in there with two cheese.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, Clayton? Screw you. Uh, I didn't have a chicken in there. Two cheese in there. God!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's kind of done a thing where he's been honest most of the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simone's will be the last round. I mean, if you believe I've had three cheese... three times?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got three cheese. Wait, shouldn't I get four?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't believe that chickens want to elope and can find love?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you? Do you? This is your last turn though, Clayton did point out, so it could be your last chance for contraband.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I endeavor to inculcate the idea that the government of the United States is superior in power and influence to Japan. The honor of the nation calls for it. And the interest of commerce demands it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been wanting it blonde for a while. I don't know what came over me. I saw a fan edit when I had green hair and it was like me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a lot, cause it was, you know, we started in on January, I think January 16th was the first day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it was like two weeks of nothing, of like healing, letting my hair kind of like take it in and digest and uhm, recover and then


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, everything's new, Ellen. Everything's new. It's a whole new era. Uhm, yeaah. I'm so excited. I can't tell you. It's the most...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, very crazy. It took us like six hours to get through it because we kept pausing it over and over and just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, it was months of me going through every single hard drive of my entire life and picking out pictures from literally from when I was born up until now and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an insane process, uhm, and just it was all completely curated by like me. And just, we like took a couple days and just laid every single picture out on the ground of my living room. My living room, my kitchen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My kitchen counter, the dining room table, and the hallway and the couch were all covered in printed out pictures. And I put them all in the exact order I wanted them to go in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was so much work, but it's so cute and it's such a fun, insane little like book of my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't played Wii Sports Baseball in a long time, mind you not. And I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going, or we are going, this is an adventure for both of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wee Sports Baseball Game. Which the more I think about it, because I've been thinking about it this evening, the more I think about it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The more impossible I realize this is going to be, but it is possible. It is possible, but for me, I really do think it's going to be impossible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I believe Beef Boss is a low level, right? From what I remember. Yes, this is. And it's always going to be Alisa. Pimp Daddy's essentially me. Oh, look at this. Look at this. Starting the game with a homer. No. No, Ab- Ooh, Abby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Abby givin' us some sweet cheeks right off the bat. I'm makin' Abby do all the work out there. I'm makin' sure her frickin' ass doesn't get fat from the kids she's havin' in Tomodachi life. Man, I gotta stop. I'm getting distracted here. Way distracted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I have two outs. When are we going to play Wii Sports Baseball?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also, can we get some broken- When are we gonna play some Wii Sports Be- See, I wasn't even paying attention, cause I'm just trying to decipher. What the hell you just said?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And your dono. This is not, is this not Wii Sports Baseball? Donate, don't, don't donate, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Words that I can't say. Fuck. Alright, we're just gonna restart. That was bad. Don't donate things that make me think. Alright? Cause then I'm gonna get distracted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not do good, okay? And then we're gonna be here for a very long time. Alright, that was the warmup, this is the real thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, no, no, no, no, no game is gonna start with a crappy hit like that. It end up being good. There we go. No, we don't! Are you kidding me? That was a blister. A blistering hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I can't pause. Why can I not pause right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is going on? I'm pressing the minus button. Thank you, game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every game is already making me more and more doubtful. Why is my minus button being like, very selective on when it works? This minus button. Hello?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess, I guess banging your Wii remote makes Kintaro drop the ball. But my minus button is just not working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, whatever. I guess we have no restarts anymore. My minus button straight up isn't working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I strung- swung too early, couldn't notice that. Maybe it's cause I'm distracted, because one of my buttons isn't working. Have you thought that's the reason? Before you start criticizing how I'm swinging?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, look at that, broken Wii Remote and all. I'm gonna eat, shoot an easy one, out to frickin'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Albinogirl, I don't know her name, I don't know what her name is. She's unknown. She just catches balls a lot. Okay, is Minus not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is minus not the pause button? Is it plus?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's plus. Why did I think it was minus? This Toad Wii Remote with Wii Motion Plus inside is not dead. I just lost my mind. Well, it's still shitty at hitting balls. Alright, this is how I get distracted from the game. Don't break


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How, how did Toad We Remote turn into Glad Will Remote? What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, see, you have me all sorts of distracted. And then you said break. You used break like you break your car, not break a Wii remote. Sorry, I wrote swordplay and it auto went to baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pay attention, you're telling me to pay attention? I just got a freaking home run. I don't need to pay attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Attention pays me. That's a, I think that's a line from, uh, like a Lil Wayne song or something. Oh look at that, almost a home run again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I've ever seen it, thank you game for not screwing me on that one. Is there only two players in the outfield?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, no, there's gotta be more, cause there's Silky, that albino girl, and Abby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their, their little ass frickin floaty bodies take up what percentage of that field and I hit it right to them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me, tell me there's not some, some math working in this. Like, almost again, right to her. Oh no, drop the ball! God damn it, Luca.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Poof, this is practically impossible. Only a TAS has been able to do this. Quit before you want to quit life. Only a TAS. What's a TAS?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, cause that could be me. I'm a T.A.S. Wow, that was quite the throw, Alisa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? No. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. We need to restart. Tool assistant speedrun where a computer does it, not a player. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So just tire Alisa out though. Like that's what I haven't been doing. Like, I just need to hit-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep on doing this with balls, so she gets all sweaty, and her balls become more predictable. So, I think it's possible, to be honest. Well-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, maybe I should wait till the second inning. Let's just keep on-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we're not gonna tire her out at this rate. Let's just keep on tiring her out though, or trying to. Tire her out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is beautiful right here. Alisa's arm is going to turn into spaghetti. And then we're gonna go...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeti. On her. Does he look it? There's the, uh, there's the sweat. The sweat is starting. Bow ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really, she's sweating that much, but she's not throwing exclamation point balls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I THINK WE'RE SMOKING! And Matt caught that! Matt can't catch a frickin' butterfly going by right now, but if- alright Matt, now you're just being a show off, alright?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have- you didn't have to do that to me like that. I don't know what you want me to do with this. And then I- I fucking tap a light one! I'm playing pass with you, Alisa! That- so that's literally what that was, and I don't even wanna go on!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because that was so crappy. I haven't even gotten to like, three runs. I've been stuck at zero. I need to focus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's me focusing, I guess. Getting a fat out. To f- to- to red-blast face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have been all hits right to Elisa, Matt, or Kentaro, or Akira.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you! Thank you, I finally got lucky! My crappy ass hit made it past them. I really wanna just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get some points on the board here. I don't know, since we already got an out, if this game's even gonna work, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been not even getting past like, one hit, so many times, that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need, we need a little boost of confidence, you know. We got five runs here. This might be the closest we get all night. But we need 94 more. Fuck my asshole Matt. You didn't fuck it. You fucking played with it and then blew it out. We got to seven runs though. Alright, so... That's a start. Oh come on, this one needs legs. GO!

[Assistant] Go, go, wind blow! Blow, drop, drop! The sun! In your eyes! She never blinks. She never blinks. And then I hit a frickin' tapper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that pretty much ruins the game right there. Honestly, this one's not as bad. This one's a little bit more entertaining because it's a little like different, you know? Bowling is, bowling is overwhelmingly repetitious with quitting and restarting, you know? How do I keep on doing this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oof. I was a little nervous on that one. Oh, thanks Abby. Appreciate you giving me the double.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the thing is, I want them to save all their grrrrs for when I really like need them to drop it, when it's gonna be an out. Not when they're just fiddle-diddlin'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Loadgator think you're 300 bits. Oop! I wasn't paying attention!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the thing. That's the thing about baseball. Is I ca- The game goes on whether I'm ready or not. There's no prompt like, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you ready? She's about to throw the ball again. No, no, no, no, no. I'm just sitting here looking at my computer screen and Elise is throwing a damn ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hope this goes better than bowling. I would say so far it's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, about as bad. I would say that. Now I'm having problems with the outfielders. Don't catch it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she's still miraculously sprinted across the field to catch it. Damnit, Kintaro never drops it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kintaro is the perfect shortstop. I think that's what he is. Wait, is he shortstop or is he the second ba-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, then the crowd goes wild! Cause that was, that was the frickin' play of the century right there apparently. Even though it's absolutely ruined my game. So far we've, we've made it to seven runs. And Matt now is here to save the day for his team! WOOOOOOAHHHHH! Matt caught the ball! So incredible. So incredible, Matt! You're great! You're great at the game! Holy shit!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What me wants to be a frickin' smart ass MLB player this time? Who wants to be the guy that makes the crowd go wild this time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? This is gonna be an issue. Because if I'm actually having a good game, this game didn't matter so much, if I'm actually having a good game and my Wii remote just goes out and diddles itself,
