[Assistant] There was a moment like in the whole Chicago drill explosion where, you know, I'm sitting around listening to Chief Keefe and Fredo like crazy, like just fully absorbing that and loving it. And also that was a moment where I sort of started to occur to me like, okay, I'm, you know, at that time I was probably 28.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm listening to all this music these 16 year old kids from Chicago are making and I'm fucking loving it. And then I kept going further and further and then I land on like Katie Got Bands. And so she...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is like a young girl, she's in the video, she's holding guns, she's like so clearly like a very young, like 16 year old girl just trying to make it as a rapper. And there was, I think there was just a moment where I was sitting there and I was like, I don't care about listening to this musically, but I love this because of what this says about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hip hop and how far we've come that you could have a 16 year old girl rapping and, and really trying to do this and actually getting some kind of like fan base going. I'm like, this is amazing. This is something that we never could have seen 10 years ago or even five years before that, I feel like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't cool to be uplifting or whatever. The stuff Chance is doing now, it's so hard to imagine that in like a 90s framework, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I feel like it bothered me maybe a little bit at first, like I just didn't want to hear about it too much, but I'm not really bothered by someone talking about religion as long as they don't cross over into like territory of talking about things that I think are inherently negative about religion. Like on, uh, I believe Nas' album God's Son,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The scientists say we came from apes, but they lying though. And I'm just, he's just shooting down evolution in the same context of talking about dancing with his mother in heaven. And I'm like, okay, this is the moment where I'm really not feeling the religiosity in hip hop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, climate change just goes in the same bucket, so it's like they have to oppose it, even though it's like the most bizarre thing to oppose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We all have like held out that hope, like maybe it'll be an alright president, maybe it won't be so bad, and it just keeps, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like a little kid watching that shit and just like thinking he was a superhero. Astonished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like 23. This is still pretty impressive that you were this willing to go this far out of your way to just on this off chance that this might work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you feel like at this point you've just like completely jam-packed your life with so many different projects and stuff that is it at the point where it's stressful or you're looking for more or do you feel like this is your purpose in life is just to fill your life to the fucking gills with producing content every moment that you're awake?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you could pull it all back and you could be sitting around on a Thursday afternoon, like getting a tan in the backyard if you wanted to. You could be enjoying the fruits of your success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you describe your lifestyle as like enjoyable and carefree and relaxed or are you a stress ball running around all day everyday?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With rappers who seem like they mostly appeal to that audience and also the other thing I would say is like, if I go to a fucking 21 Savage show at the observatory in Santa Ana, that's gonna be like 75% fucking white kids and also hugely Mexican kids and a very small percentage of black people in comparison to the whites in


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is insane for him to say that because it's like he is- Why should they have cared about your shit? Yea, and he's incapable of understanding how the fucking world works. It's like no, you sent all your music to Complex and that day Complex got 5,000 emails from every other rapper on earth and they didn't pay attention and then you went out and you made yourself hot and now admittedly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got in bed with it, you know, when he was at 20% of where he's at right now. Now he's objectively seems like his career is fucking gigantic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I mean, you're gonna hate on the fucking media because they're critics at the end of the day. Maybe there's an employee at Complex Now who likes your shit, and two years ago there wasn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's about keeping people on the fucking station, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, he definitely was. See, that's crazy because being mad at Complex is one thing because Complex could theoretically put out an infinite number of articles or pieces per day, so it's like not that big a deal for them to cover new content. But in terms of like wanting to be on the biggest radio station in the world, it's like, you should understand the process if you want to be part of the music industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To do it on your own, exactly. But okay, at this point, let me ask you this, do you get hit up like with an insane amount of people just asking for interviews constantly, blah, blah, blah? I feel like I might get it even worse because it's so, it seems so achievable for like a really low level artist with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel you. Alright, well, I'm pretty sure that that iPhone over there is gonna die. This camera didn't make it through the whole thing. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But wait, you know hip-hop podcasts that have 10 minutes of ads in the front? I don't either. Yeah, no, that's true. That's a very good point. Rogan does that, he has a 10 minute wall that I just bang the 15 second fast-forward button until it's over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like last year, I'm trying to think of podcasts that I've genuinely given a shot, like Norrie. Okay, like yeaah, you've earned my trust over like the past 20 years of making great music, sure, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a lot of other ones. No, I'm with you 100%. Like, if you haven't given me a lot of credibility. Or even put a lot of work in to make me just keep noticing over and over, like, oh, this guy's doing good shit, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's a nice reaction to like what we're used to on like CNN when they have like two people come out that I would love to see have like a legitimate debate and then they give them fucking four and a half minutes with like Sean Hannity screaming at him in the middle and it just, it's so far away from anything approaching like an actual intelligent discussion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I appreciate it, and thank you for the inspiration in the first place, because Juan Epstein was like, the thing that made me basically start doing this, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, thank you so much. Peter Rosenberg. This has been No Jumper. Coolest podcast in the world. YouTube, SoundCloud, and iTunes. It's been an honor, man. Thank you very much. Appreciate you, bro. Thank you. Cheers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry to get you down here so early, guys. But last night, well...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This has wisdom written all over it. We must go capture Geargod.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, bro. If we tag along, we'll only get in the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it's my turn. I draw. And I charge and draw. I equip. J-Star ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I call Jack-Arms J-Arsenal to the left position! And cross knives!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're up Jack! Go and attack that Yersinnius! Skyblade!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Time for final phase! I cast! A Sword of Light that rules the stars!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm on my way. I'm gonna look in on the boys at the hiring hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So frustrating. So freaking frustrating this is, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game was in hand and the Saints literally fumbled the damn ball. You can't blame Carl on that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He put the ball on the man and the man fumbled the goddamn ball away. Good Lord, man. I mean, he just, it just bounced off his hands. Gloves and sticky gloves and all. Just amazing. Absolutely amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely amazing. Saints had the game in hand, literally in hand, and allowed it to slip away. Are you kidding me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This dude pulled a Dan Arnold today. Foster Monroe. He pulled a Dan Arnold today. He pulled a damn Dan Arnold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a touchdown in the dude. My goodness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm speechless. I don't know what to say. Shout out to you, brother Brent. Thank you for the super chat, man. I mean, the cash app, he says, he says,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His baby back ribs. All right. You done got into commercials, man. Thank you, bro. Appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't believe this, man. This is absolute. Y'all stick with us, man. We got 500 plus. Please hit the like button. This is awful, man. This is awful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't give him credit for fighting back. I can't give you credit for fighting back when you didn't fight back. You get what I'm saying? You didn't complete the mission. You didn't complete the mission. You didn't tie the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And perhaps if you didn't take all damn long to get to that point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You probably would have won the game if it didn't take you a whole half of football to finally figure it out. My goodness, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all stick with us, man. We'll be doing this post-game stuff. We'll have Dennis Allen and whoever they won't put up on the podium next. Y'all stick to, stick with us. We'll be bringing that up momentarily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's get into the team statistics, man. Another loss for the Saints. They are now three and four. They lost two in a row. They're now three and four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the NFC South, the offense finally put some touchdowns together, but could not complete the deal. Defense gave up a late touchdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's just, it's just what it is, man. The Saints just so disjointed. Another 50 plus completion attempt game or, or attempt, passing attempt game by Derek Carr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, it's just ridiculous, man. 25 first downs versus 18 by the saints. Third downs, a third down. Saints with three of eight on third down. Jags with two 11. Saints with four six on fourth down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Saints had 87 plays in this game versus just 56 by the Jags. They had 87 plays in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over 400 yards of offense versus 330 by the Jacks. 14 drops. They had 14 drops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Versus 12. The Jags averaged almost 6 yards per drive versus almost 5 by the Saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rushing game even changed 112 to 113 advantage to Jags.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see the red zone saints with two and five. They went to the red zone five times and converted two or five in a red zone. The penalties, five penalties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The turnovers, two of them by the Jags, one by the Saints. Time of possession, the Saints won the time of possession game. 36 minutes in 10 seconds versus 23 minutes and 50 seconds. This is crazy, man. Just absolutely insane how all this played out. Carr finished, uh, in the matchup. 33 or 55 for 301.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Average five and a half yards per throw, a touchdown to pick. Sack one, 73.4 on the rating. Kamara 17 carats for 62 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jason had 5 for 18, Saints finished 31 for 112.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yelvin Kamara was throwing that 14 times. He caught it 12 out of 14 with checking it down all kind of ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 57 yards, Taysom Hill 450. Michael had three for 42 in the score. Foster Monroe had, could have been four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For four and a score that could have tied things up in the game, but he drops the damn touchdown ball that could have tied the game. He dropped it. He dropped the damn ball, dropped the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paul's and the Deebo's seven tackles. The Saints not one sack today, but they only allowed one sack on the opposite side and that was smoothed. I thought that despite the fact that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, just ridiculous, man. All kind of ways ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play group A, finish three or four today for the young kicker. But in the end, the saints lose another one, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People gonna talk about, oh, they fought. Don't miss me with that. They fought bull crap. Miss me with that. They fought bull crap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That only means something if you actually completed the comeback. You did not complete the comeback. It's awful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what to tell y'all man on this and this was absolutely ridiculous. This is ridiculous man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They couldn't complete the deal and it is what it is and I'm not surprised man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it was a lot, they, they took too long to get gone. They ran out of time and then when the final op, op, they had an opportunity to complete the deal and they couldn't do it fam. The, uh, boss Monroe literally drops a touchdown pass that could have tied the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Foster Monroe literally drops the bet. It's just ridiculous man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, it's ridiculous. Totally ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drops, I'm still, I'm just still stuck. I'm like, man, how do you, how do you even drop that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You dropped that touchdown pass that could have tied the game, man. How do you drop that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you drop? How do you drop that dude?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm stuck fam, I'm sorry fam, I'm kinda stuck on it man. How do you drop that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wide open in the back of the end zone. Look at this, that's a touchdown. And the dude puts two hands on it right there and it just boops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wide open and look at a guy with the blue shirt on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look what he do. He, he like, dude, are you kidding me? Look, look at his reaction. His reaction is my reaction. Look. Look what he does. Look at what the blue shirt does. Look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He misses it and then the dude, look what the blue shirt dude do. He looking at the ball and he goes, look. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so anyway, y'all stay right with us, man. We're gonna bring, we're gonna bring in, uh, the, the post game soon as this is available. But, uh, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm at a loss for words. I'ma be honest with your family. I'm still stuck right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But imma bring in popsq man to shed some light on the game. Popsq uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome on in, man, and uh, kinda talk to us, if you will, about this game, man. Let us know, you know, how you feel about what you've seen today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this sucks. This sucks, Pop. I don't know what to make of it, man. All I can say is that, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not surprised by this. It was a joke we see in car. They just took, they just took too long to get going. They scored six points. They scored.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six, six in the, it shows, they scored six points in the first half and nine points in three quarters and then they scored 24 points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I mean, excuse me, 20, uh, 15 points in the fourth. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nine and three quarters and fifteen and one quarter. They just took way too long to get going and it cost them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't get it either, I don't understand what's going on with the Jimmy Graham thing. The ball was placed, it wasn't the best thrown ball, but that's supposed to, it touched Fossum O'Rourke, both his hands touched it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, shout out to the fam, man. We in this thing, uh, we'll see if they got anybody else coming up to the mic. We want to see Derek Carr is what we want to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uh, shout out to the fam tragic. This is really good comment here. He says, I think cars ribs are broken the last two weeks, the smallest contact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has bought him to his knees. Yes, something I've said that before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I know this team. They always undersell some of this stuff dealing with these people. Especially when you're talking about cars, ribs, and I say family, remember, you know, this whole situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he bent over like that, then I was like, something's wrong. And then the next day or the day after that, they had him on the injury list with a chest issue. Something's wrong there. No doubt about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, shout out to the fan. Appreciate y'all for being in the chat. I wanted to give a shout out to Rich. He says, how do you not go to Jay Graham in the red zone? I know bro. Thank you for that, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so, and uh, shout out to the rest of you guys for being here, man. Please hit the like button.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to finish out the stream, man. I think that's probably going to be, we're going to see, I want to see if Carr gets to the podium, we'll bring him back if not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, shout out to the family members for super chats and the cash apps. Much love to you guys. Appreciate you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Saints lose yet another one in this thing and it's, it's a tough sell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, we're gonna keep it going. So we're gonna bring in, uh, we got Brother Randolph is gonna join the stream along with us and, uh, Popsqueak is still joining us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gonna kinda close out the show with that and if a car pops up to the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] podium, then we'll cover them. So that's bringing Randolph. Randolph, how you doing brother? Welcome on into the show, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all I can see is blown opportunity. The Saints didn't really get going until the fourth quarter of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first three quarters of the game, the Saints scored nine points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then they try to pack it in in the fourth quarter and they basically kind of ran out of time, kind of bunched themselves into a corner that they shouldn't have put themselves into. It's just amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like we talk about some of the stuff that's going wrong with the offense. The offense finally does get on the board. They finally start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scoring touchdowns, but it's a tad bit late. Uh, it's, it's a bit disjointed. We do see some synergy for a little bit, but it's, it's not sustained.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But anyway, here's the Ovin Kamara family. Let's hear what he had to say in the matchup. Here's AK-41 man. He did his thing. Let's hear what he had to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just real strange, man. You know, we, we, hopefully we can get better. We're going to do better, man. We're going to be all right. Here's car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, that was Carr. I think that might be the end of him, to be honest with you, unless they drove somebody else up there, but that's some of the people that we wanted to hear, uh, perspective on, and it's, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very interesting hearing Kamara's commentary was very interesting. Uh, hearing what he had to say about the team. So very interesting, man. And I just think at the end of the day, we got to give Kamara a shout out, man. Uh, we got to give him a shout out, man. He had his Whitney Houston head, uh, scarf on rock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I gotta bring some levity. Don't think for a second, Kamara, I ain't know what you was doing, brother. You trying to bring the Whitney back. I got you, brother. I hear you. I see you, brother. I see you, brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long hair, don't care. I got you, I got you, baby. I hear you. Alright, so anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's get some perspective. We've seen, you know, we heard what Elvin was saying, and obviously, I mean, you know, we played in high school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we, you know, it's, it's a, it's a psychological game because really you standing up there in front of people, you know, you know, you didn't, you didn't screw it up. You didn't lost the game, had the game in hand. You didn't play your best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you have to face the music. This is what facing the music is. Kamara's brutally honest because he don't come with a lot of, uh, crap. You know, that's just not his person, his personality. We know Dennis Allen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These guys are kind of trained to kind of have more of a political spiel to go to the press and kind of keep it uhm, you know, try to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Try to deflect as much as they possibly can while speaking the traditional talking points that we know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've heard over the man, the many weeks of watching the saints become a three and 14. So what's interesting about this whole thing is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole car narrative now that car, he did have a better performance in the, in the backend of the game. It wasn't a complete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still, I mean, the defense had its problems. It gave up the late touchdown. Randolph may mention to that. Uh, but listening to what we heard from all of these guys, let's put it in perspective. Now they'll have a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least 9, what, 9 or 10 days off before the next matchup against the Colts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which the Saints should win. And let's, let's just get some, uh, some thought process from Randolph and Pop Q. Let's get some perspective because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, some people team this season, this schedule is a very...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Agreeable schedule for a veteran led Saints team to be. Now I'm going to be honest with you and no part of the game that I look at seven weeks in and would see the Saints at three and four. I did not see that. I did not put that in there. I didn't think that they would be in such dire straits from an offensive standpoint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That there would be three and four and currently on the two game losing streak and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many of these games, three or four of these games, at least two of these teams are nine playoff teams. And it simply boils down to many cases, the Saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offensively not being able to get going to put up enough points to make it competitive or make the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That kind of give us an opportunity and win some of these games. So with that being said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's get some perspective on that. Hearing what they saying and of course looking at the schedule and seeing where this team is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, let's hear what the thought says. We start with you, uh, pops cube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I appreciate it, pops. Randolph, if you please, bro. Same thing, man. And uhm, how did he turn it around, bro?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, right. Yeah, that's just, it's going to be interesting, man. The saints have quite a, a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, before the next matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, who are also a struggling young team, uh, they got a lot to work on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how they condition the thing to kind of deflect things. And we do get it to a point like some of the hoodats get it that these guys are, you know, they get game checks at the end of the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They get paid the same amount of money, whether they win or lose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's only the really good ones, the ones that care about more than just the money. They care about legacy and about winning. Those are the guys in the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you're counting on to kind of switch the direction and kind of guide those who might be misled thinking the opposite, uh, thought process than him in that correct direction. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna take some changes here, man. It's gonna take some changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have a lot of time to figure this thing out. They're currently on two game losing streak. They're now three and four and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in terms of the guys on the field with me, I'm thinking the quarterback and he gave a better performance. He showed some heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're going to have to get something else going there. They're going to have to figure out something else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A better collection of pa- running plays to kind of get the running game going. I do like the idea that they had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With big Saunders in there doing the fullback stuff. I actually do like that. Maybe they should go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And see if they can find a real fullback to punch up and punch open some lanes to help out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, for Kamara and maybe stop wearing them naked. How to use Jamal Williams more in the red zone, being that he had 17 Russian touchdowns in the bulk of those red zone touchdowns last year. That could be something they could consider.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's a few things that they have time to kind of think over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'll see how Dennis Allen, man, and would be Carmichael Dennis Allen and what kind of changes, uh, in, in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] League with Mickey Lumis that they'll make because this will be a long nine or whatever it is days. Oh, you know, you're going to have a lot of, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lot of, uh, pressure on the team between now and then for them to perform, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gonna see how they handle it, man. The Saints currently three and four on the two game slot. Still a lot of football left to be played.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's what we need to focus on going forward, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With that being said, let's get ready to get out on that. Listen, I appreciate everybody, man.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, the Pro Shop is the platform store where you can go and buy all the latest merch to support the platform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing, knowing, and understanding Northeast Ohio is something we take very seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I am joined here for this discussion. Bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I relate to that. I relate to that. Uhm, and your enthusiasm, I think a lot of, uh, your viewers and subscribers would agree with me that you have infectious enthusiasm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I'm so excited for this. So I'll let you, I'll let you start. Uh, what are, what's, uh, something that, uh, stood out for you in this, a great character moment or what character do you feel like is the standout?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of setting up work that the author is thinking ahead. Yukimura is thinking, here are my themes here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How far can you go before you're beyond redemption? You know, or what, what, uh, what are some of the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things, the consequences of not only the trauma we go through, but the trauma we inflict. And, you know, you look at this kid who has been taken in by this woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this woman is, I think this is going to be a running theme here, is empathy, compassion. This woman shows compassion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because she's been through pain, she knows what it's like to hurt and to suffer. And her first instinct is kind of maternal here, but it's also very empathetic. And she takes this boy in, in spite of the fact that he is the enemy. And she knows it. She's not a fool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She covers for him and he asks, is this, who is this? Is this your son? And she's like, yes, this is my son and he's got his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, behind his back, and he's ready to pounce, you know, we know, we know that Thorfinn can pounce when, when he needs to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Particularly with the legacy that his father tried to give him and what has actually become of him instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna be very potent, I suspect, down the road as I get further in the series to see, okay, this Thorfinn fella is gonna be very scarred, uh, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's really great stuff. And again, the mixture of Yukimura just making up characters, this whole part of Thorfinn's childhood is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, but there, it was a Thorkeldetal. He did interact with Canute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he actually, it was reported in some of the stories that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the stories, yeaah, yeaah, so he, he definitely did, and he was, by the way,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what he does with that, you know, he takes certain things from history and from the sagas and, you know, Canute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't really know much about his childhood. In fact, he is described as being very tall and very strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spoilers for Book 2 of Inland Saga. Oh, sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no, my fault. Uh, but, but anyway, yeah, he, Canute was not like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The character we are presented with here in this second book, as far as we know, that's all Yukimura.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's doing something interesting with that. Obviously a lot of, it's, it's a trope and it's an interesting one. A lot of heroes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] are weak or somehow not thought highly of in their youth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have to prove themselves. And Canute, historically...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the most capable kings of England ever. So, I mean, he's a, he had quite a, although his legacy didn't really last, his sons didn't, weren't able to hold all that together the way he did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nevertheless, here's a guy who had essentially a northern European empire who was a very powerful individual. So it was interesting to me to see, Oh, I see. Okay. He's making, he's using this trope of the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the, the weakling in his youth who has to somehow get beyond that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and learn how to be strong and learn how to be, uh, uh, brave and all of that. So it's an interesting presentation here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so hard. I know I've been in that position too in discussions where I've read much further in a series or I finished a series and I'm like, uh, wait, I can't say that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way he's, the first time you meet him, he's like, yoohoo, come on, and he's this immense person who...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely. And there, there's the picture I was looking for. That's when we first met.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, of course, he is a pagan, uh, I think. He has an elbow. He's defending the English at the moment. I mean, he's doing it for his own reasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that pagan heroic, you know, code is do great deeds to make your name live on. And that's the best thing you can do considering that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything's gonna end in darkness, the world is gonna end in Ragnarok, and so the greater the deeds you do, the more people will sing your praises, the bards will sing your tales, so he's living that philosophy, absolutely, to the hilt, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's something more to him, uh, apparently, no, historically I mentioned already that the, the real Thorkell the Tall was associated in some of the stories with the, um, Vikings. Uh, so that would mean, I think, that he would have known Thor's, Thor's the troll, who is, of course,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the father of Thorfinn, who is basically the protagonist here, and when they fight,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's something going on there. I think there's a reaction and he, he clearly later on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is trying to find Thorfinn. That's one of his big motives, I think. So there's something, there's something up there with, uh, the connection between Thorkell and Thors in the past, which is going to have, I think, some bearing on the relationship possibly between


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thorkell and Thorfinn. So I'm interested to see what happens there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's, it's a really cool how Yukimura sets this all up with their initial meeting being a fight, uhm, where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where Thorkell learns to respect this kid and he's like, and later on he even tells people, don't underestimate this kid. Don't underestimate these. And he says, I think he knew Thor's and he said, he's the only person I've ever met who is stronger than I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and so he, it's almost like in the process of his shenanigans where he's, you know, kidnapping Canute and he's pursuing, after he loses Canute, he's pursuing, uh, uh, uhm, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Askeladd's band and all of that. He is also somehow very intrigued by Thorfinn, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I'm excited. It's just really right off the p- how many characters do you meet right off the page who suddenly just are alive like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Askeladd is that way too. Do you know when you were talking in one of your videos about Askeladd? Do you know who I thought of?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're so similar. They're both piratical. They're both...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, oops. Well, anyway, uhm, yeaah. I mean, they, they both have their... So have you finished LiveShipTraders yet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay, well, we'll come back to that discussion then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's mad at her father for the slave, you know, that he had taken in and giving away what was it, six sheep or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she's young, uh, and that might be part of it. Sometimes young people do learn it, and sometimes it takes a little longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she, her response to the, the losses around her is, is understandable. I mean, people, sometimes you just get into survivor mode and you have to, in your mind, you're making decisions that are just, I'm sorry, I have to do this, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand where she's coming from and there are moments where she, particularly with her mother, I think, where there, there are, she clearly loves her mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think she was frustrated by both of her parents in some ways, not being the practical, hard-nosed people that she probably is going to become herself. So I foresee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If she can, if she can't, well, that's just too bad. Uhm, so I don't know what's gonna happen with her, but I feel like there's something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something in the future of her that is going to be unfortunate and maybe tragic as a result of her sort of outlook, I guess. But you know, we'll see. She might get mixed in with the wrong people thinking, I need to survive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're so right that she is burying her grief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And piles and piles of work and just looking for something to do almost, right? So she doesn't have to think about her grief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but, uh, I, I think that, uh, you're right too. I, I don't, I don't want to discount that, that she has...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is part of the motivation definitely is to take care of her very vulnerable, sickly mother, um, as well. And so she's kind of having to be the strong person now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, if you had something you wanted to do, uhm, I'm looking ahead as well, uhm, at some of the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He witnesses a young English woman being raped by his comrades, uh, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they burn people alive later on. There is a village that they massacre, which I thought that seemed really well done because we build a connection to the one character, I think her name is Anne, who's worried about her soul because she stole a ring at the marketplace. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that turns out to be something that keeps her away from the home when...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Askeladd's band shows up, and they're, they've taken a turn into Mercia, which is one of the English kingdoms, rather than go through the Welsh kingdoms as originally planned, so they feel like they're free to go ahead and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pillage and, uh, and kill people. And they do. It's a horrible scene where they massacre these helpless people. Uhm, and- Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, it's horrific. It's horrible what he does. It's heinous. And at the same time, we learn a little bit more about his past here in book two that he has a Danish father who essentially


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's an interesting past. Uh, I don't know how historically correct it would be to present, uh, for example, uh, Grazianus, uh, as a, he feels more Roman than Welsh to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at this point in the history of Wales, I don't know if they would have actually been that cognizant of the Roman past. In fact, Wales was never Romanized. Uh, it was, Wales was, that part of Britain was never colonized by the Romans for the most part. And so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might be a slight inaccuracy to present them as being so plugged into their, their Roman past, but I'm fine with it. You know, I'm not, I'm not here as an historian or something. I'm here to enjoy the story. And there, what Yukimura is doing is he's trying to give.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has a Danish side and he has a Welsh side to him and he is secretly, we learn here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is how you'd say that in Welsh. And then they get their treaty to go through, what's the other one? Um, Brachyniolg I think is the other kingdom that they go through. Yeah, yeah, you have to do a lot of hh sounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a little anachronistic, I think, what Yukimura's doing with that, with the Arthurian stuff being kind of inserted in here, but I like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Briefly, just to sort of, I guess, go along with what you were saying, he...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's that beautiful scene when he's up there in the Roman ruins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, it's actually Thorfinn who goes up there to find some solace while the rest of the band is doing some horrible things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Escalad is up there in these ruins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you feel like he's very melancholy about this, that he is not happy about it, that he himself is haunted, and there's some really nice people there too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Thorfinn to finally beat him and kill him in a way that he wants him to do that almost. It's, it's... He...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has empathy. He buries it in order to do what he's doing. And there's those two sides again, I think. The survivor, it's me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, uhm, I mean, he's very upset about what he has to do, but he's gonna do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost as if Thorfinn is trying to reenact his father's duel in order to make all that pain go away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's ironic too because Askeladd I think is taking the place of a father figure for Thorfinn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's such a complex relationship here. It's really something. I mean, it's hard to point to too many relationships in storytelling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dare I say it? Is there, is there love between them even? You know? It's really something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, this is an interesting relationship going on here where you have Ragnar who does what a lot of parents do, which is overprotect, perhaps. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, interesting. And I get the sense that we haven't seen him actually...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sun. The sun has been, and there's the, there's the illusion, I think, at one point where they show


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That seems to be what's going on here. Like, Swain Forkbeard is, uh, not a warm father. And it's interesting because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, you know, and they, they are Danish, but they also are Christians at this point, because actually, historically, Swain, Swain Forkbeard's father,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but Harold Bluetooth did convert to Christianity sometime prior, so, uh, but they're still kind of, there's, it's almost like it's a veneer, and they're not that different from the still pagan Vikings, like Borkel and others, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll be interesting to see what Yukimura is doing with this character here, Canute, uh, putting his, definitely his own stamp on the character, but there's some, there's some major trauma here with Dad, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then later you get the, the reveal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so funny. It's really, I can't remember what page it is, but when you finally do see him, yeaah, it's really something. Uhm, yeaah, it's really well done. The expressiveness, and we talked about that in the video on your channel, is something that I'm enjoying actually, the facial expression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so in terms of the auditory parts of this, you have all these sound effects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sound effects that you're reading, uh, and that's bringing the story alive as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you, you could talk about a character's sort of like sense of smell, like they could say, oh, that smells like, uh, pigs being roasted or something, you know, and, but that's a little hard to convey, uhm, in a, in a manga.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You found it. Yay. And there's ask a lot of expression. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's great stuff. It's great stuff. Thank you, Murphy. I will thank you. I'll let you go real fast, but I do need to thank you once again for getting me onto this wonderful series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking forward to talking about books three and four with you in the not too distant future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, everyone, thank you so much for listening and, uh, until next time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like your friends. They're very generous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All perfectly in order.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump staffers, evidently, are so paranoid about the media, they're staying mum in meetings, out of concern that their comments could be leaked to the press by foes. I have some bad news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not just the press. Not just the press they're paranoid about. White House staffers are so afraid that a deep state of career military and intelligence officials is out to destroy them. Now, what is a deep state? I thought a deep state is what you achieve after doing three bong hits and watching Planet Earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, it's a permanent national security apparatus that is pulling strings behind the scenes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One White House staffer is so fearful about the deep state spying on him that once he gets home in the evening he turns off his work phone and stores it in a drawer because he believes it could be used to listen to him even when it's off. You fool! Now the CIA will have intel on your collection of loose batteries and takeout menus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when he needs to make a call from home, this staffer uses a separate personal phone in an adjoining room where the stowed work device wouldn't be able to pick up his voices clearly. Smart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this paranoia is just the frustration every new administration has with Washington DC. It happens every time, you know? You went to Washington, you went to work for Trump because you wanted to tear down the government. Now you have to deal with it. Now you are the government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a dog who spent his whole life chasing a car. Now he has to drive the car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, if Sessions did decide to partake in the Sticky Icky, might I suggest he take a little trip down to the Goodwill? Because recently, a cooler full of marijuana was donated to a Goodwill location in Monroe, Washington. And you were mad when your mom donated your comic book collection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa, whoa, you're getting the wrong idea. I mean, it might be the right idea, but not right now, right? Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, speaking of right, I'm glad I've been standing around waiting for you, because I knew we'd cross paths. See?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only way to reach the upper crust in their gated island of champagne wishes and caviar dreams is over Prominence Bridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, now what? Don't play games with me!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've worked your magic on this poor, defenseless child, haven't you? You're a sad, sick woman, you know that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait. No. You couldn't. Oh my god, you did, didn't you? You killed her parents!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We said to ourselves, this is an equestrian statue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, it's tough. It's tough to handle that. You know, uhm, looking at it from Kareem's point of view, you know, I think he's probably looking at what the top backs in the league are making right now. And he feels like he could, he could go out and be one of those top guys if he was, you know, a number one somewhere else. He's obviously not going to be that in Cleveland with Nick Chubb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's hard to argue with that. The guy's a talented guy, but you know, in Cleveland, all he's going to be, you know, as a, you know, part of the one, two punch with, uh, with, with he's, I can understand his frustration and where he's coming from. And you know, I think that you guys, you guys mentioned, you know, he, he probably does feel like he's going to get more of a workload.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this coming season wi right now. So he does pro like he deserves to get m that as well. And you kn know, you, you want to kee you want to give everyone obviously you're going to l


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, at some point with one position or another. So, uh, I'm sure the coaching staff is well versed in how to handle this and, uh, hopefully they can get through it and get Kareem happy and get him out on the field and being productive player this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm not here, then like you guys said, who's going to get the ball if Nick Chubb gets hurt? Who are you going to lean on? Especially like we talked about with the quarterback situation, the way it is, you need two backs right now because they're going to work these guys to death, especially.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Early on in the season. So that would be the levers that he has right now for sure. But at the end of the day, I would probably say he's under contract and he's, uh, he's healthy and he's supposed to be out there playing with his team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, I, it's, you know, I think you got to go out and prepare like you're going to be the starter. You know, I think that's always the situation, you know, whether you're going to be playing or not, whether you're going to be a backup, you know, you always prepare like you're going to be the starter because you have to be mentally ready and stay mentally fresh and sharp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, he hasn't p you know, I'm sure he wants get out there, feel a cou you know, get comfortable You know, it's one thing in practice during trainin


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While, you know, it's just a preseason game, I understand, but you know, for Deshaun, I think it means a little more right now at this point where, you know, he hadn't played in a while. His situation is kind of up in the air. I'm sure he wants to go out there and play a little bit. And you know, so when, when the time comes, when the regular season rolls around, if he is eligible this year, that he has had some reps and he feels somewhat comfortable within the system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting him back out on where that's where he's com what he does. That's who agree with you man. Let him touchdowns, get back to Watson again and start th as a human being getting b doing the right things off you can do the right thi


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think a six round draft pick, you know, a guy that, you know, you're not expecting too much out of right away, uh, as a, as a six round pick, but he's really stepped up. You know, the Browns have had some injuries in the, in the wide receiver room. Some guys have missed some practices and that's given him an opportunity to step up and man, they have to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so you see, he takes care of the football. Uh, he puts the ball in the end zone. He understands, you know, how to be a professional quarterback in this league. And I think, you know, he's, uh, he's got a lot of, a lot of reps, a lot of game reps and he could probably come in and pick up this offense right away. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if Tashaun's not coming back, I certainly would probably go a route looking for a, you know, more proven guy, uh, like, like a Jimmy Garoppolo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, you know, he lear games in this league and obviously being coached by Belichick, like he came from a great organization where he learned how to do these things. And like you said, the stats may not be eye popping, but the guy wins football games. He gives you an opportunity to win games. And you know, I think he does that by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, not doing too mu all the flashy stuff, but he makes the throws that are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I, I think, you know, with Deshaun, you know, you're talking about a huge financial commitment there. We're talking about $230 million guaranteed. I don't think anyone's taking his job. You know, I think that, you know, the way they've committed here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're always going to want to see Deshaun in the game if he's eligible and able to be out on the field. So I understand, I understand your question. I think, you know, it's where you're going, but I think at the end of the day, people are always going to want to see Deshaun because we're talking about, you know, like I said, an elite football player who can


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, you know, tryin some reps and getting hi and comfortable within the to figure out how to kee keep the football in their there's a lot of moving p team right now and he is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's been devastating what's happened there. And, you know, I teamed up with ARH, who's a regional health care provider there in Eastern Kentucky, and they've doing an outstanding job of, of helping people get the supplies they need and still obviously asking for supplies. And you can go to ARH.org if you're interested in donating supplies or financially committing to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes? Oh yes, Ms. Prudence. Did you want to speak to the General?

[Assistant] Nah, so I leave my house at 1 a.m. to go to 7-Eleven, like down the street, it's like a mile away, and then a car followed me. Behind me, like three cars back, and when I parked, they just shot at me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't think it was having a bang. That was a part of it though. That was a part of it and then I turned into a pretty bitch. So that's how you describe yourself now? Yea, I was at a strip club like these last two nights. And I just, like this stripper would come up to me like, you want to go on a dance? And I told her, you don't want to go on a dance with me because I'll take your soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I walked up to her and choked, bruh. It was white guys in there? Oh my god, this is on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, I don't know, I think I'm a thought whisperer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I had no hoes, and I, cause I wasn't at school, so when, now that I got, like, I feel like I can do YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was on this homeschool shit, but I never did the work really. Like I didn't get no credits. They didn't really come and get me ever. It just stopped. I think it's because they let you stay there until you were 21 and by the time I was 18 I still was super behind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Making beats? I don't know. I, I, I don't know. I just downloaded F.O. Studio on my mom's computer and I just started like, I got like obsessed with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At what age? 16 or 17, I think I was 17, I don't know. But I started making money off it because I found SoundClick, this website.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and then I started just, it just started to work. It started, bruh, I brought in so much money. I lowkey slowed down on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bro, you can sell em for a- Unlimited, right? Yeah, you can sell a lease- Not for a mil. A lot of times. You can sell- Back in the days, I was doing $25 leases. Uh huh. But I was making almost $10,000 a month. Really? At 18, 19. That's a grind, huh? In the middle of nowhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, he started making a song. Halfway through the hook, I brung some strippers over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only reason he's, the only reason he's playing all that music is cause I force him to record. Really? In a way, yea. I'm just playing, but kinda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I know him since middle school, and then when I seen him, he was short as fuck, like now he's wear the same size, but he was so- he was like the littlest person in middle school. And he had all the cute black girls as his friends, and I liked black girls back then, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just, alright, it was just, it was just girl, Terra. She lowkey like, she's bad as fuck, she got a fat ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I get too geeked. I don't think there's a lot of like, producers that get this geeked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every peep song I made for him, even this unreleased one, but like, Witch Blades and this song called Never Eat Never Sleep, this song Castle is Two with them, I was so geeked. Fucking geeked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was DNAming him going crazy. I was at his house in Seattle. We was just like, I was like, what the fuck are you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was like, I'm trying to come out to LA and Trace was pretty hyped on it. I didn't know who Magnet was yet. Finally Magnet pops up in LA randomly and then he comes his two and when I met him I was like, this dude just looks like a fact dude. He like talks really fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bro, he talks really fast and he'll just say the funny, he's like, he's a comedian bro, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what it is. It's weird. Nah, we recently all moved into a new crib, so the last like five days, it's kind of like my fault, I feel like. I'll go buy a bottle and then we'll just get super turnt. And then we'll go just, it accidentally, I bring girls over. I don't know how I'm bringing the girls over when he's the rapper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's like come to the bathroom, he comes about, he's lining up lines for himself and I'm looking at him like, I should try this shit probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like 18, 19, and I was like, he's like, you won't even fix it, you'll be good, just try it. So I do a line, walk out the party, and it's just like, the first time I knew it, I was, it was so turnt, walk out, I'm grabbing, I grabbed this lesbian bitch, literally lesbian as fuck, no one in the city's cracked or like, in our city, we know everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of this dude's bitch to my house, but we were like fake dating secretly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bro, I ate her pussy and didn't fuck her, bro. She's lesbian. I just ate her pussy and sent her home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how am I gonna get hard? I can't, I can't get hard just now. I'm like, bitch, I'm not gonna get hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was geek, I was really mad bro, I was walking around like, the house like, bro I'm mad bro, I need a bitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I just seen all this stuff, so I jokingly tweeted like, I want to smash Yachty's mom. Which is like not even bad, there's people, my mom's on YouTube from IG live and people say shit and I don't want to fight them. Or even jump them or whatever, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna talk about that, cause we were just hot at the moment, like that's how it is, but at the end of the day we were just really loud and then uhm, I hit the corner and I hear, I see him getting in his bus and all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Rolling Loud. Okay. And I'm with Geneal's. I'm only with Geneal's and like my homegirls. Okay, with Geneal's. I, I see them hit the corner and Yachty's like, yo big head. And kind of sound like he would've chopped it up. Like we weren't going to like get into it, into it. And so I stopped like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not Yachty? Uh, Yachty got hit in and then he stepped back and a bunch of security guards like, like jumped me. It was nothing big deal. And then I didn't get hurt or nothing. Like I had like a tiny bus flip from getting kicked. I remember the one time like one of the security guards kicked me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? If I, if I fell on the ground and broke my arm or something, it would be a different story, but it kind of sucks cause that Rolling Loud, like the dude who's running like Tariq and a lot of people were telling me that they didn't think they didn't want me back in Rolling Loud cause someone said I started, like I walked up to him and did it, but I didn't. I was just walking out by myself with G Nils.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have regrets. I don't have a great, everything happens for a reason. It's, but that's like, I'm not a whole, I don't hate, but I was just listening to his, his new album. Just check it out. Wait, it's out? Yeah. Oh yeah. It's like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like pretty good friends with Fonny, but at the same time, they kinda had Twitter beef. Tracy and Yachty? What was that about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the only thing, like, bro, you trying to put my life at risk over a tweet? It's a weird position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want, the thing I don't want the Yachty Bee people be like, oh, Big Head starts prom, cause I really don't start prom, I don't want no prom with you, I did some dumb shit, tweeted, blah, blah, blah, I didn't, like I just told you, I don't think I'm popping, so I don't think no one's gonna see it, I think I'm still just a Twitter dude. Right. So I'm tweeting dumb shit, you feel me, all in this matter, like, you know I didn't think- Because people say it to you, you think it's not a big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, bro, the homie- I'm not gonna be on, yeaah. In the diss- someone's diss song about Yachty, like he says about his mom, like, but I said it and I was like joking, it's like, bro, I'm pretty much calling your mom pretty, like, people could- bro, my homie could tell me your mom's pretty, I was smashed, bro, I'm not even gonna come up brush it off, bro, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying bro, like, I don't, I just hope that situation gets blown over because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, Biggie brought it into the studio and started saying like, oh, Dex is in the studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and uh, he was like Dex in the studio, and I sent a beat cause I was in Lancashire as far as I went to the studio at the time. Right. Which, and it was a beat by me and 12 million called Okay Dexter. Then we just started always, I'm, me and G-Knowz did a bunch of stuff for Dex, and G-Knowz DJed for him, went on tour, all that, and then


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I met Tracy and introduced Tracy, I mean Dexter Tracy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know what Kalamasi looks like off the top of my brain. I don't watch TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm on a lot of hits. I just wanna keep climbing. I feel like I'm still climbing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you do? Probably one of, like, famous decks took time. Uh huh. But it's weird cause a lot of people know me off of not, like, people, my following is a lot from Tracy's songs and peep songs, not decks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was turnt. It was too turnt. Like it felt like I was a rapper. I was like, this is crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's pretty, it plays, I think I, this plays at the Cavalier. I get, I still get paid for that song. Really? Like checks for it, yeah, it's cool. Wow, that's fuckin' tight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she walks in, brother, she better get crack in the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My parents are addicts, and I just like ratchets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She starts talking about go across the street and get Del Taco, blah blah. When I went across the street, I popped this half of Viagra that I had. Come back, she eats her food, fucking, she got some chili sauce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's cool, it's kinda cool. I'd rather do it than the Downers. The Downers have me like, bad mood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's something, cause I wake up the next day after partying and I feel pretty good. Except, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, she's bad. I see a video of Adam getting top on Twitter. Inspirational. To my beat, well to LK Dexter by Famous Dex and that, I felt pretty cool about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was my first day taking them and then we made like 10 beats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then one of those beats was that Sosa and Pump one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes I don't even make beats every day. Sometimes I'll go three days and I'll make beats and then one day I'll go make like three beats for one day. I'm really weird. I start a lot of beats and then just save them and put them aside. Like I don't layer them. I just have them looping. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Freestyle beat making. Freestyle beat making. Yea, like, I'll make the beat right in front of you. Like this year by Tracy, I made a ride in front of him. Really? And he was riding as I was making it. Every song with Tracy, really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on, I want to add more. I think adding less now is cooler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She said, crown him. This was the other night, I was in bed, but I was with another girl. What, your dick's that fire? I mean, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always get the, your dick's big for a white boy. I hate that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're, they're, they're the different, they're like older, well, they're the, uh, the older, not older school, but they were before me. They're more of like, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's another thing about being how I act. I feel like dang, is the industry not going to fuck with me because I'm too, like, even in this interview talking about the shit with like coke and all, he's just like a drug addict or something like that, but they don't really display that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'd be sweet. I would love to get all them good stuff. I want to be in a hell of an industry. I want to be underground forever. Yeaah. So, I also don't stress about it no more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as I'm making money off what I like to do. That's all that matters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see every Wolf fan? Why, he hopped on your shit early? Yeaah, he just, just, Wolf just, he didn't hop on it early, he hopped on it recently, but it's just like, a lot of people know me from Wolf, and he's like the coolest dude ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a fake scram, they're just hating on him, like all his fans. He was just like, kind of not rocking with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back everybody to another chapter of a court of wings and ruin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Free water with the exclamation point or the added emphasis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last time we were sleeping, we just got into the new, uh, section of chapters, your, our new act, our new part, whatever you'd like to call it. Um, and we had, uh, Feyre and Lucian going down, going down through,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mountains are under the mountain, coming back out, coming through his, his homelands. And at our last bit of the chapter, they got caught. They got caught by his family who, if you don't know, likes killing people. So let's see what happens in chapter 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just rather put out that you didn't stop by to say hello. We're on an errand and can't be delayed. Lucian answered smoothly, mastering himself. That knife pressed a fraction harder into my skin as he let out a humorless laugh. Right. Rumor has it you two have run off together. Cuck holding Tamlin. His grin widened. I didn't think you had it in you little brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had it in her, it seems, one of the others snickered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I slid my gaze to the male above me. You will release us. Our esteemed father wishes to see you. He said with a snake smile. The knife didn't waver. So you will come with us to his home. Heirs, Lucian warned, the name claying through me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Above me, mere inches away, Moore's former betrothed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The male who had abandoned her when he found her brutalized on the border. Highlord's heir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could have sworn phantom talons bit into my palms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A day or two more and I might have been able to slash them across his throat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I didn't have that time. I only had now. I had to make it count.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eris merely said to me, cold and bored, get up. I felt it then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stirring awake as if some stick had poked it. As if being here, in this territory, amongst this blooded royals had somehow sparked it to life. Oiling past that poison. Turning that poison into steam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With his knife still angled at my neck, I let Eris haul me away to my feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other two, other two dragging Lucian before he could stand on his own. Make it count. Use my surroundings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I caught Lucian's eye and he saw the sweat beading on my temple, my upper lip as my blood heated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A slight bob of his chin was his only sign of understanding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eris would bring us to Bayron, and the High Lord would either kill us for sport, sell us to the highest bidder, or hold us indefinitely. And after what they had done to Lucian's lover, what they had done to Mor, after you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eris said smoothly, lowering that knife at last. He shoved me a step. I'd been waiting. The casting that it taught me was crucial to winning a fight. And as Eris's shove caused him to get on uneven footing, I turned my propelled step on him, twisting so fast he didn't see me get his guard open. I drove my elbow into his nose. Eris stumbled back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Lucian hurled out of the way as they shouted and fell deeper into the cave. I unleashed every drop of flame in me, a wall of it between us and them, sealing his brothers inside the cave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Run! I gasped out, but Lucian was already at my side, a steadying hand under my arm, as I burned that flame hotter and hotter. It wouldn't keep them contained for long, and I could indeed feel someone's power rising to challenge mine. But there was another force to wield. Lucian understood the same moment I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sweat simmered on Lucian's brow as a pulse of flame licked power slammed into the stones just above us. Dust and debris rained down. I threw any trickle of magic into Lucian's next blow. His next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Eris's livid face emerged from my net of flame, glowing like a new-forged god of wrath, Lucian and I brought down the cave ceiling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fire burst through the small cracks like a thousand flaming serpent's tongues, but the cave-in did not so much as tremble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hurry! Lucian panicked, and I didn't waste breath agreeing as we staggered into the night. Our packs, our weapons, our food, all inside that cave. I had two daggers on me. Lucian won. I'd been wearing my cloak, but he'd indeed given me his.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He shivered against the cold as we dragged and clawed our way up the mountain slope. Did not dare stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had I still remained human, I would have been dead. The cold was bone deep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The screaming wind lashing us like burning whips. My teeth clacked against each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My finger's so stiff I could scarcely grapple onto the icy granite with each mile we staggered through the mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps both of us were spared from an icy death by the kernel of flame that just barely kindled inside our veins. We didn't pause once, an unspoken fear that if we did, the cold would leech any lingering warmth. We'd never move again. Or Lucian's brothers would gain ground. I tried over and over to shout down the Bontarise, to winnow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To grow wings and attempt to fly us out of the mountain pass we trudged through. The snow wastes deep and so densely packed in places we had to crawl over it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the feybane stifling grip still held the majority of my power in check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had to be close to the Wintercourt border. I told myself as we squinted against a blast of icy wind through the other end of the narrow mountain pass. Close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once we were over it, Harrison and the others wouldn't dare set foot in another court's territory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My muscles screamed with every step. My boots soaked through with snow. My feet perilously numb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd spend enough human winters in the forest to know the dangers of exposure. The threat of cold and wet. Pollution, a step behind me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tainted hard as the walls of rock and snow parted to reveal a bitter Starfleck night and more mountains beyond. Almost whimpered. We've got to keep going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, snowcrusting the stray strands of his hair, and I wondered if the sound had indeed left me. Ice tickled my frozen nostrils. Can't last long. Need to get warm and rest. My brothers, we'll die if we continue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I only continued on arguing just wasted energy and time and I didn't have an answer anyway. I wondered if we make it through the night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We found a cave, deep and shielded from winter sight. Lucian and I carefully covered our tracks, making sure the wind blew in our favor, failing our sense. That was where our luck ran out. No food to be found, no fire in either of our veins. So we used our only option, body heat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huddled in the farthest reaches of the cave, we sat thigh to thigh, and arm to arm beneath my cloak, shuddering with cold, dripping wet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could scarcely hear the hollow scream of the wind over my chattering teeth and his. Find me. Find me. Find me. I tried shouting down that bond, but my mate's wry voice didn't answer. There was only the roaring void. Tell me about her. About Elaine, Lucien said quietly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As if the death that squatted in the dark beside us had drawn his thoughts to his own mate as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I debated not saying anything, shaking too hard to dredge up speech, but she loves her garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always loved growing things, even when we were destitute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She managed to tend a little garden in the warmer months and when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When our fortune returned, she took to tending and planting the most beautiful gardens you've ever seen, even in Prithian. It drove the servants mad, because they were supposed to do the work, and ladies were only meant to clip a rose here and there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Elaine would put on a hat and gloves and kneel in the dirt weeding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think going home is an option, no matter how she might yearn to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Surely Prithian is a better alternative. Or no. I steeled myself before saying, she is engaged, Lucian. I felt every inch of him go stiff beside me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Black, cold words, with the threat of violence simmering beneath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To a human lord's son, the Lord Hates Fairies has dedicated his life and wealth to hunting them. Us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was told though that it's a love's match. Her betrothed father was keen to have access to a considerable dowry to continue his crusade against very kind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elaine loves this Lord's son. Not quite a question. She says she does. Nesta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nesta thought the father and his obsession with killing fairies was bad enough to raise some alarms. She never voiced the concern to Elaine. Neither did I. My mate is engaged to a human male. He spoke more to himself than to me. I'm sorry if I want to see her. Just once. Just to know. To know what? He hitched my damn cloak higher around us. If she's worth fighting for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't bring myself to say she was. To give him that sort of hope when Elaine might very well do everything in her power to hold her engagement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How he survived it. Knowing you were engaged to someone else. Sharing another male's bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tuck my freezing hands under my arms, gazing toward the gloom ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me when you knew, he demanded, his knee pressing into mine, that Reisen was your mate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me when you stopped loving Tamlin and started loving him instead. I chose not to answer. Was it going on even before you left? I whipped my head to him, even if I could barely make out his features in the dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never touched Ryzen like that, until months later. You kissed under the mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had as little choice in that as I did in the dancing. And yet this is the male you now love. He didn't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had no inkling of the personal history, the secrets that had opened my heart to the high lord of the night courts. They were not my stories to tell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One would think, Lucian, that you'd be glad I fell in love with my mate, given that you're in the same situation Ryze was in six months ago. You left us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Toward the howling wind and lashing snow, beyond the bend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told you that day in the woods, you abandoned me long before I ever physically left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shivered again, hating every point of contact that I so desperately needed as warmth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You fit into the spring court as little as I did, Lucian. You enjoyed its pleasures and diversions, but don't pretend you weren't made for something more than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As high lady, I could likely offer him a position. If we survived long enough to make it home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd do it mostly to keep Elaine from ever going to the spring court, but I had little doubt Lucian would be able to hold his own against my friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And some small, horrible part of me enjoyed the thought of taking one more thing away from Tamlin. Something vital. Something essential. We should leave it done, was my only reply.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every part of me was stiff and aching when we began our careful trek down the mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a whisper or trace of Lucian's brothers, or any sort of life. I didn't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not when we at last passed over the border and into winter court lands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beyond the mountain, a grey ice plane sparkled into the distance. It would take days to cross, but it didn't matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd awoken with enough power in my veins to warm us with a small fire. Slowly, so slowly the effects of the fey bane ended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was willing to wager that we'd be halfway across the ice by the time we could winnow out of here, if our luck held and no one else found us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ran through every lesson Arias had taught me about the Winter Court and its high lord, Callius.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Towering, exquisite palaces, full of roaring hearths and bedecked in evergreens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carved sleighs were the court's preferred method of transportation, hauled by velvet antlered reindeer whose splayed hooves were ideal for the ice and snow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their forces were well trained, but they often relied on the great white bears that stalked the realm for any unwanted visitors. I prayed none of them waited on that ice. Their coats perfectly blended into the terrain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The night court's relationship with Winter was fine enough. Still tenuous, as all our bonds were, after Amarantha. After she'd butchered so many of them, including, I remembered with no small surge of nausea, dozens of Winter Court children. I couldn't imagine it. The loss, the rage and grief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never had the nerve to ask Ryze, in those months of training, who the children had belonged to, what the consequences had been.

[Assistant] If it was considered the worst of Amaranthas crimes, or just one of countless others. But despite any tentative bonds, winter was one of the seasonal courts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my side with Tamlin, with Tarkin, our best allies remain the Solar Quartz, Dawn and Day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they lay far to the north, above the demarcation line between the solar and seasonal quartz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That slice of sacred, unclaimed land that held under the mountain. The Weaver's Cottage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'd be gone before we ever had to set foot in the lethal ancient forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was another day and night before we cleared the mountains entirely and set foot on the thick ice. Nothing grew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I could only tell when we were on solid land by the dense snowpack beneath. Otherwise, too frequently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ice was clear as glass, revealing dark, depthless lakes beneath. At least we didn't encounter any of the white bears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the real threat we both quickly realized was the utter lack of shelter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out on the ice, there was none to be found against the wind and cold, and if we lit a fire with our feeble magic,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyone nearby could spot it, no matter the practicality of lighting a fire atop a frozen lake. The sun was just slipping above the horizon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Staining the plane with gold. The shadow is still a bruised blue when Lucian said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tonight we'll melt some of the ice pack enough to soften it. Build a shelter. I considered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were barely a hundred feet onto what seemed to be an endless lake. It was impossible to tell where it ended. You think we'll be out on the ice for that long? Lucian frowned for the dawn stained horizon. Likely, but who knows how far it extends. Indeed, the snowdrifts hid much of the ice beneath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps there's some other way around, I'm used. Glancing back toward our abandoned little camp. We looked at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And both beheld the three figures now, standing at the lake edge, smiling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that, my friends, is the end of chapter 12. Well, honestly, overall, that was a little bit more of a boring one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you gotta have a little bit of a time progression and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe a little bit of character development in that time, I get it. And there's not much to do when you're trudging along a frozen tundra, mile after mile. Trudging across the tundra.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right down to the parish of the great Al- or Saint Alfonso.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or whatever that, uh, Frank Zappa song is. If you know, you know. Uh, but otherwise, now we got, we got Lucian's Brothers once again, about to cause some havoc. So let's see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see what happens in the next chapter. Y'all make sure to stay beautiful, stay hydrated and we will see you then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, coming up later on today, man, look, man, I guess there's 25 or 26. I guess we're going to unveil this and what this means. Does this mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody is not going to be guaranteed a sum of money. I'd be scared as hell. That's like winning the lottery. That's now a conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It works in the short term because of the simple fact that when you only have one side of the argument out, right? So Deshaun Watson is not going to come out and say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well I'm discrediting that person because of this reason, this reason, that reason. He's already given the blanket denial. I've done nothing wrong. So, so when you drip it out like this, boom boom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it's a 26, maybe it's a 20. It's like a water torch. That's, that's, that's a pressure technique. That, that, and it's, it is, it is mainly on the people that are in the public, right? Because if you do, you look at 24.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, this woman didn't go to, she didn't file no, no, no criminal charges. She said let's go do physical, civil charges, right? And a lot of them said, no, I don't want, we don't, we don't want to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is, this is aimed to, to really sway


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say, just like in a lot of our, our life, we're swaying, trying to sway at 20% in the middle, not the people who think that he's guilty or the people who think he's innocent. It's that 20% right here where it's like, apparently it's working for bulls, very small market research. So, so one of the thoughts that I have is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it's 23, whether it's 24, whether it's 30, I look at it from a different perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could have a hundred people, right? The goal for those a hundred people is they don't want to drag it out that long. They just want to get the bag. Like they don't want to be here all year. So if I'm Deshaun Watson and I know for a fact that their goal is to not only raise the amount of money I'm giving accuser one, but accuser 24.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? I'm, they're like, okay, well, listen, if I put more people in here, that's more out of pocket money that you're giving. And that's what I'm trying to do to maximize the availability of getting that bag for the rest of my people. For me, I'd say this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, well, I mean, I call your bluff. I mean, you can bring 27 of them. Here's the point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you bring 27, I'll go to trial with it. Now would that suck for him? Sure. But if you're a defendant and you're saying, alright, I don't care how many people you bring up here, I'm going to trial. That puts the ball back in your court and saying, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, here's the thing. You talk about a PR thing about suspending him once, right? Yea. Well, I'm gonna tell you this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they suspend him six games, and then he goes and settles the lawsuits?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because everybody that's going to say, look bro, we're not doing double jeopardy. You're not going to suspend me once, bring me back in here after you suspended me and get to suspend me twice because you think you can, they can, but you're going to have a whole lot of NFL fans that stand up and be like, listen, I remember Colin Kaepernick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so keep it a hundred. You gonna have people in the opposite end, if they give him eight, I'm gonna say, look, he got the eight, let's keep it moving. If they want to give him a year, that would suck. Give him a year and keep it moving. But we not about to do bring him back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a perfect example, right? So say for instance, you in the market for buying a television, right? I love where this is going already. I do too. I love TVs. You're in the market for television. Now you're looking online and you say, okay, there's some new TVs over here. Look, this is about, you know, this is 2000. This is high, high end joint or
