[Assistant] There's no way for me to pause. There's no way for me to do anything. And Elisa's just gonna still be throwing balls. And that's gonna fu-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is dangerous. This is a very dangerous situation. Swing at everything you're bound to ground out. Wait for better pitches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 99 to 0 is damn near impossible. Well, damn near impossible isn't impossible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only impossible is impossible. If you go your life...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With people telling you that you can't do certain things. And here goes my Wii Remote again. It's not working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I'll wait. I'll wait. I'll wait, Wii Remote. I'll wait for whenever you feel like working. I know you're tired. I know you've gone through a lot. It's only been an hour and ten minutes and you're already tuckered out. You know how much I love-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just wasting my fucking- You know how much I love-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wasting my fucking time, Matt. You know how much I love that? How much I love getting Alisa to sweat the whole first inning, pitching an inning, then going into the third inning with her sweating, and then completely


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that I spent so much time getting that game to that point, and then just going out, getting shucked out three times, ba-ba-ba-ba-bam, just like that. These three bitches in the outfield will not stop harassing me. I'm going to have nightmares.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of a ball in their glove, and them staring at me. It's like the shit you see in a horror movie. When it zooms in on their face, with the ball in their hands. And them just staring at you blankly, to the foul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, then, dada, let's hit one in, let's hit one in, in the area, that's a shitty ass hit. What a, what a shocker. WHAT A SHOCKER!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They happen to just be right there or close enough to catch it. Even though there's only three of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have something to show you guys. How am I throwing the ball? My Wii Remote is in a bazillion pieces down the fucking stairs. So while, while my Wii Remote freaking controls itself here, we're gonna go ahead and, and I gotta show you guys something. I got two new Wii Remotes. But, but, I have a confession to make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of them is not a Toad Wii Remote with Wii Motion Plus inside. Alright, at some point things had to change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a Yoshi Wii Remote with Wii Motion Plus inside. Now, I know this goes against everything I've ever said and anything I've ever praised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About my Toad Wii Remote and how I was never gonna let it go. But the thing is, the Yoshi Wii Remote costs like $10 more than the Toad Wii Remote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, all the other Wii remotes cost more than the Toad. The Toad is still the cheapest. So this one's a Yoshi, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I needed, I needed to switch up, we needed to see how a different Wii Remote performs, alright? That's, that's the bottom line. Like, we, we still have a thing with Toad, right? With Toad. Toad. Uhm, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, sometimes you need to test the waters. Sometimes you just need a little break in your relationship to make sure things are gonna, you know, stay strong. Make sure you're really committed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I only bought Yoshi and Toad. I only went to a Yoshi one because it was only like $10 more. Like Mario and Luigi and Peach are like $20, $30, $40, $50 more than a Toad Wii remote. And I ain't paying that much for a stupid Wii remote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, maybe for the peach one. Maybe $90, maybe I will get a princess peach one at some point, but that Wii Remote is $90 for one of them. And breaking a $90 Wii Remote, like that's when it, like at that price point to me, my head goes, okay, do we really want to break this for this price? Do we really want to do that? This is how it was laying on a stair. So it actually doesn't look that bad at face value, but when you look at it closer,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you can tell the face of it's kinda came off. So, up here, look at a piece of plastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the plastic broke off. Oop. Why can I not figure this out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, it seems like some of the plastic busted off, but it must have busted into the remote. Or it's somewhere else in my house, I don't know. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think she's done some bonzo, we're just gonna leave her like this. So first ball that gets thrown at us with the Yoshi Wii remote, I'm not even paying attention. Alright, Yoshi? I'm gonna need you to pay attention now. Oh shoot! Look at Yoshi go!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. This whole time it could have been just the Wii Remote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nevermind Yoshi, there's just so many on my screen here that you've gifted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that's, that's highly improbable. Improbable. For Luca.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad also told me that in 5th grade baseball too. Those exact words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have the bases loaded and we're falling apart on the frickin' hitting mound here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just standing there bobbing up and down, waiting for it, because she knows the ball's gonna go right to her. Oh yes!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the grass. But we got to 8 runs here. That's the furthest we've gotten. If we hit a dinger, we get to 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it looks like, uh, we're not gonna do that here, cause Abby's gonna catch the fucking... Wow. Mark this moment in history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is another one of them historical moments. One of the outfielder girls dropped it. Her name was Abby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Abby dropped the frickin' ball. And I wasn't even telling her to drop it. I just figured she was gonna catch it. Abby helped us out. And now they can't pick up the ball to save their life. And now they keep on giving me triples. Awww. Line. That was in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, I'm actually hitting the balls pretty well right now. This is nine. This is actually our new record. This is our new record for the night. Nine. A little over two hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the most I've gotten is nine. And there's no way this game can be anything special, because I already have two outs. Well, we live another hitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm glad you guys have a counter on that. Now, make it 59. Make it 59!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it falls apart. It falls apart so quick. It goes from being such a great game to falling apart and literally


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really not enjoying trying to get a 99 to 0 baseball game anymore. I'm gonna have to do it. It's that time. This is impossible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bowling a perfect game, I'm really starting to think, is going to be a lot easier than this. This is impossible. STRAWBERRY!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's George who says strawberry. Why do I like Peppa Pig so much? And I'm 24. I just turned 25. Fuck me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've only seen this done TAS. I never knew what TAS meant. I never knew it meant it's a computer program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I should go back to trying to get a, uh, 300 game on bowling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a Yoshi Wii Remote with Wii Motion Plus inside. That I've never been bowling with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I can get it right away. I think I can get it right away. It's gonna be real quick and real easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would have been very difficult, even if you were one degree off course, if you were coming out from the cage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So even if we were one or two degrees off course over the length of the journey between Cape Town and Saint Nina, yes, it is possible to completely miss the island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The island and everything that goes with it has other advantages that you will not find anywhere else in the world. We can enjoy the sea, uhm, as you know, I'm a, I'm passionate about the sea, so now I can spend my weekends either in the ocean or out on the ocean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does feel like some part of my identity has just slipped away from me at the moment. So uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know my new job is going to be different, but I'm hoping that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a hierarchy and everyone knows who's on top and the individuals at the top get more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then the critical component is, how does this individual respond to that medium preferred food, like a cucumber or a piece of bell pepper, when their partner gets something much better? Nala? Here you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From an evolutionary perspective, the behavior that we consider greed, which is acquiring as many resources as possible, is important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In human societies though, my perspective is that greed has taken on not just acquiring as much as possible, but acquiring as much as possible explicitly at the expense of other individuals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are both neurochemical and psychological feedback loops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It causes you to continue doing it well beyond what you actually need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is this drive to, as we say in the US, keep up with the Joneses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fresh on the flight out, you could get some of these up to two to three hundred pounds. Which is a big difference from what we get now, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To my friend Christopher Cross. In token of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if you don't go out and I show up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you are in your house that you grew up in or? Yeah. Oh you are? Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, as far as these nominations, is this just, are you used to this by now, or do you stop and go, wow, this is weird?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a way, and I'm wondering about this because this is a situation where you have all these artists on stage. Great artists, popular artists, both, some both of those things. And do you feel competitive with them? Like, I'm gonna go out there and my performance is going to be the best performance of all of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sounds like a direct message while you're jogging now, but run DMC. Yeah, run DMC. Great, uh, hip hop group. Have you ever seen The Cosby Show?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. What should you never do to a gremlin after midnight?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're, uh, turning 18 next month. What are you gonna do? Is there a big party plan? Is somebody else responsible?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will be on the American Music Awards on Sunday, who is, you're going on tour, uh, starting in Miami, uh, starting March 9th, and also this is the album. It's called, well you probably have it already. The Where Do We Go World Tour is the, and the album is Where Do We All Go When We're Asleep, right? Correct? It's a little bit bumpy, grammatically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are, when you are this age and you're doing work as you are doing, do you, because you really grow so much as an artist or really in a lot of ways at your age, do you look back at things you did two years ago and go, oh boy, I wish I could do that over again? Do you think of it that way? You do not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So at the AMAs, this show, is there anyone there? Is there an artist there that you've not met that you're excited to meet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you liked that video, click the subscribe button, but only if you're ready for commitment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, not a saint. It's a king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, this is the day when he died on 29th of July.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, uh, well, as you said, Chi, you know, it's a pleasure to be here and I really enjoyed this conversa- enjoy this conversation with this community. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, after 9-11, there were a lot of forecasts made about what would happen with cities and people said cities would be over, skyscrapers would be over, and a lot of those forecasts didn't age very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I think rather than forecasting about what cities might be, I think we should talk about what cities should be coming out of what are really these dual challenges of a pandemic on one hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And long-standing structural racism on the other hand, uh, that the Black Lives Matter movement has really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and if you think about those two challenges, they're interrelated because as one of the last questioners, uh, uh, alluded to, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The impacts of the pandemic have not been equitable and communities of color in particular have suffered disproportionately from the pandemic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I think coming out of this in our cities, and I think our cities are everything you described as these engines of culture and commerce, uhm, but I think we need a new narrative, a new social contract for the way we think about our cities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think, you know, right now people are going to naturally tend towards this austerity model. They're going to say, well, we're going to go broke from all of this and so we have to pull back in investing in our people. And I think that's exactly the wrong thing to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need a new narrative of generosity, not austerity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think we need to focus on, uh, the equitable, the sustainable, and the attainable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, people that we now call essential workers, communities of color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we're not having equal outcomes in our cities. Our cities were, uh, working very well for the prosperous and not working at all for people, uh, in other parts of the economy and really critical parts of our world and our culture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, if we wanted to craft a new urban equity agenda, what would that look like? What would it entail? And I think about three components. One is the idea of having equitable health and housing, and we can talk about how those things are interrelated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 70% of carbon emissions come from buildings and cars often rooted in our cities and so we can have an extraordinary impact at scale in terms of the environment and climate justice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then finally the idea of attainable social and cultural resources. And I think if we focused on those three things, equitable housing and health, sustainable urban mobility,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And attainable social and cultural resources as ideas for policy coming out of these crises that we could craft a new urban equity agenda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, it's a critical question. Obviously, everyone prior to this crisis, this dual crisis, you know, spoke about gentrification.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A false choice in terms of this narrative, that we are either the impoverished cities of the 1970s,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, where we have no tax base and there's horrible crime or so forth. Or the cities that we just experienced, which are cities of kind of bourgeois banality, uh, where cities have become so prosperous that the very things that made them attractive,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, became monocultures and we were not only losing the housing for essential workers and communities of color, as you mentioned, but also losing the spirit of what we all love about cities in the first place, which is the diversity and the inclusivity that makes cities interesting and have positive social friction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because what we need to break out of is the fact that the essential workers you're talking about, what leads to homelessness is the fact that most people in cities are rent burdened, which means they're spending more than a third of their income.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, say, well, you know, maybe some of that older office stock could become housing and also most cities have brownfield sites, rail yards, other places where we could build mixed income, affordable, attainable housing. And that will lead to better public health outcomes because housing is health.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think we have to talk, you know, uh, financiers talk about equity and debt. And I think we need to talk about social equity and social debt. Uh, and, and, you know, we've seen what happens when there is an economic crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That leads to austerity. Uhm, and austerity often just leads to more cycles of hardship, more economic ruination, and that is not the path we should take here. So we probably will need to borrow some more money and, and actually put debt to good use to build the, the kind of infrastructure of opportunity that I'm talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but we also need to acknowledge that our cities are wealthy places. When I was Manhattan planning director, New York City's budget was about $43 billion. The budget we passed last year in New York City was almost double that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's been pretty much of a global phenomena. And so if you look at whether it's London Breed in San Francisco or Anne Hidalgo in Paris, the mayors around the world are understanding you have to invest in your people. You cannot have a massive retraction at a time of social need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so we're going to have to find a way to pay for it, both through, uh, you know, some deficit spending, as well as looking at the industries that are thriving and saying whether we can pay higher taxes for some people. I know I could pay higher taxes in order to have a more equitable world and I'd gladly do so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, uh, this is a great question. It's a big concern. Many people are concerned that as certain cities recover, we're going to see widespread use of private automobiles. And, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mass transit was not the problem here, and I think both density and mass transit have been painted with a rather negative brush when it comes to the COVID situation because, you know, we just heard from Singapore, there are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Places that are quite dense, that have survived the COVID crisis much better than a lot of the cities in the West have, despite the use of mass transit. And so, mass transit can be made to be safe, but I think what we really need to do is step back and look at what happened. Which is, you know, most of our cities


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, excuse me, of their land committed to roads, right? It's a, it's a staggering figure to think of a third of Tokyo or a third of New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Use that public space in terms of express buses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That could be space so that you had more social distancing on buses while you needed them, um, because you had many more of them. Walking and biking has proved to be a very effective means of transport in the COVID environment, uh, as long as people are keeping their distance. And I think, you know, in terms of both the ecology, in terms of urban human connectedness, all of that is so much more possible


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we stop using roads solely for cars, and especially private cars, because the problem here is not a technological problem, it's a spatial problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Versus a bicycle or a pedestrian. I don't care whether the car is autonomous or electric or whatever it is. It just takes up too much space per person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what we need. We have the space in our cities to move around in a much more efficient, ecological, timely manner. And in a way that's much more pleasant for people in terms of quality of life. If we simply give more of our streets over to people as opposed to cars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a great question, Kara. Thank you for asking it. I really believe that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, for too long we've been, you know, in architecture we talked, Vitruvius and Leonardo drew the Vitruvian man, which was, you know, the man in the circle and the square, and then Le Corbusier drew the modular man, and it was always about the man, right? And it was always about this, uh, kind of idealized idea of what, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and understanding and resuscitating the idea of public housing that works and public housing that isn't just top down, but public housing that is bottom up in terms of understanding what people's needs are and how we can address those needs through investment in our communities and building for our communities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ian, wonderful to hear from you. Uhm, you know, I think it builds on the question she asked me, which is really this, you know, I think there's a moment we have right now to leverage the emptiness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the extent that we don't have congestion in our cities for the first time, like, we have blue skies over New Delhi. It's mind-blowing. And, you know, I think this is a moment when we can leverage the emptiness and say, do we want to, once we have a vaccine,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, or a treatment. Do we really want to go back to those congested cities? And I think most people would say no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think that we then need to say is, well, how can we achieve that? And again, it just, it isn't about rocket science. We know that walking, biking, low emission buses for people who are handicapped or mobility challenged, that, you know, we can absolutely


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little silver lining of a lack of congestion and less air pollution and less carbon emissions right now and see if we can give that as a gift to the world going forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi Anna, as a fellow New Yorker, I certainly worry about that, and I think we especially need to worry about, uh, we all know about the outcomes, uh, that, uh, can be produced if people have good early education. And, you know, one of the things that I've been thinking about is we're all


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New York. And maybe instead of those chain stores, we could use those empty storefronts for educational or social purposes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pop-up libraries, pop-up universal pre-k or classrooms. You know, things that still give our street life vibrancy and activation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not without relying on chain stores and instead relying on social infrastructure and educational infrastructure that rather than as your question talks about school zoning that, you know, we bring the mountain to Mohammed that we actually distribute in a more diffuse way around our cities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The educational infrastructure that people need in their communities, which includes, by the way, things like vocational training and senior education. So we, you know, create a kind of cradle to grave educational system that's a kind of street infrastructure across our cities. I think that's possible in a world in which we're gonna see fewer chain stores.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, it's interesting because I think, Chi, that model begins in even small agrarian villages. Like I think about, uhm, uh, farming villages I visited in Japan or the one my father was born in in India where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even, uh, you know, the farmers live at this very intimate scale and then they go out and, and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think that is a paradigm that can be, uh, uh, replicated and also kind of tailored to the individual cultures and places and climates all around the world. And so to me, this isn't just about Paris or, or Tokyo or Singapore. It's really, I think the human instinct of why do people live in collectives to begin with?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At a lot of different scales, for a lot of different societies, a lot of different cultures, a lot of different climates, it's absolutely possible. It's ecological, it's fun, it's, it's joyous, it's part of our cultural, uh, life in terms of how we create culture. So I think that's possible at all scales and in lots of different places.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's a great question. A lot of people are obviously concerned about this. I mean, I'm again, I'm trying to stay out of the fortune telling business, but I do, you know, what I can imagine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but at the same time, you know, there may be people who have really difficult commutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That sparks innovation and sparks creativity. And so I still fully believe in that and fully believe that that will be part of why cities recover from all of this. But, you know, I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other thing to say about that is that I'm in the middle of writing my next book and there's so much interesting history associated with how cities changed in the course of pandemics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but hopefully for the better, but also in a way that, you know, uh, builds upon our desire for human connectedness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, Dred, good to see you, at least, uh, on, on your little photograph on the screen. Uh, it's a great question, and I don't pretend to have all the answers to that, but I think we do know that unless there is a different sense of representation in terms of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of, uh, of, you know, what we've been living in for the last 50 years. Uh, and instead think about how do we get a much broader sense of representation and have the self-governance that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's on my mind constantly obviously as an incoming dean, uh, and this I think relates back to the question we got from Dred Scott because I have so much hope when I see, you know, Berkeley is a big public university, um, uh, uh, in my undergraduate body, 41% of my students are first generation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a lot of diversity and inclusion. We're going to get a lot more diversity and inclusion I hope in the coming years. And those students will go out and become our future leaders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's in those students, I mean, they ask me really tough questions about how we're gonna diversify our faculty and diversify our pedagogy. And I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the big questions that a lot of the students have is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Berkeley is obviously right next to Oakland and there's just so much to do in terms of listening to that community and working with that community. Our good friend Walter Hood has been doing that for decades and I just think that Berkeley is one of these places as a big public university that really gives me hope because of the students and the faculty and what


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do think pedagogy will change as a consequence of all of this because we have to look at everything through this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also explored the option of academic outreach and I talked with my guides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I felt that I could, my interest was more in writing and I have tried to reach out to mainstream academic publishers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just a minute to clarify.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this dialogue could be internal also then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, what attracted me to Krishna Consciousness also that we had rational answers to life's basic questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I read Prabhupada's Nilamrut and that was the book that inspired me to dedicate my life to Prabhupada's movement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for example, in one place in the Lilamro that is said that from Mupaad says that by


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All questions will be answered from within.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many devotees who have some questions, they come to me and I try to answer their questions. Even many of our devotees, preachers, teachers, if they have some students who are more intellectual and they have some questions, they send those people to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This brings me to both the question as well as the paper which I found


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For dealing with such contentious issues is your paper on constructive theologizing. So maybe if you want you could address that also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, this is quite systematic, these three points you mentioned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you talk about say a more sophisticated dialogue between, uh, faith and doubt, uh, is it possible for you to give any examples? Maybe from either some of your writings, you mentioned your book on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cow and cow care. Maybe you could give some examples from there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the other hand, in the academic context often doubt is seen as an intellectual virtue. That you are not gullible, that you don't just believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's interesting because we have stories like say where Maharaj Shibi or Maharaj Ranthi Dev, they even protect the animals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They might not have any registered system of citizenship, but they are entitled to the protection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if I understand you right, what you did was the traditional understanding of cow care


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now you're also into cow care. So there is the idea that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's, it's more of a, it's not exactly like an injunction. It's more of a recommendation. You could say if it's possible, do it, but it's not necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going back to that point of say as we grow older, we may not need that much milk. So these are also as you said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But through reason or through interaction of traditional thought with contemporary thought, we might encounter various shades of grey and then we might position ourselves in a particular shade of grey


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We draw upon them and uh, find the necessary wisdom for applying in our situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because sometimes we get caught in many cultural things, say for example, the, some of Prabhupada's statements can seem racist or sexist or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then even if you apply those statements, if somebody thinks that they will be faithful to Prabhupada by applying those statements, literally, the result is not the blossoming of love for Krishna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say applying this to some other issue, just as an example, this is very, I am finding this very illuminating. Say if we consider


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the point is that, you know, what do we draw on from the tradition? So what you said, chitta te kariya hai kiya, rudaya te kariya hai kiya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So would this apply also, say, apart from, say, devote, speaking to new people, if some devotees are not able to,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This figure is more of the aesthetic faculty that we open ourselves more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not easy described as having any particular inconceivable powers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Opening us to a sense of wonder or is it just stultifying the intelligence if we take it literally?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I agree with that fully that it's not the right understanding, but isn't this something like that when we are asking for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Belief in something which is completely contrary to the way things work in our experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, actually this is remarkable. Otherwise, especially in India, to get books published by academic or by academic publishers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the main issue we discussed was as we study scripture and we also interact with the world, so how do we breathe together?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How, if we as practitioners consider the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Too much in the reason or rather we go toward the deeper rationality which is grounded in aesthetic appreciation of Krishna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's beautiful. It's not just say resolving uncomfortable issues for us, but it's also enriching us more. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, actually I have seen this when we have sufficiently sophisticated presentations by devotees presenting our philosophy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gain a very fresh appreciation. I never thought it could be like this. And this is brilliant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you very much for your blessings Maharaj, humble obeisances.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] SAP, the German software firm, was ordered to pay Oracle 1.3 billion dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] SAP, the German software firm was ordered to pay Oracle 1.3 billion dollars. It was the biggest seller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what you've got, a business here, a factory. What is this? Business doesn't inspire me. What do you mean, inspired? Do you have to be inspired? Ain't it enough you're sitting pretty?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You mean you'd leave the business? Yes, on this I would. Well, don't think like that. Then help me to stay here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You better not play on it. Kid hasn't let anybody use the sensor. Larry, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play it then. Well, I'm just telling you that... Go ahead, play it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What question? What answers? Good thing she come here. Let people know there's no grudge and what's past is past. It's a good thing. I like that girl. She's got a lot of spunk coming here at that. No flies on her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gone a forgotten kid, believe me. How do you think I could stay out here in business if they didn't?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, when he gets inside, there, uh, wearing his own pajamas and, uh, smoking one of his best cigars, this guy, uh, he says, uh, pardon me, I didn't know I was home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She does that every time she gets drunk and she runs into me. She's got some kind of a crazy bug in her head. Don't mean nothing. Sit down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I walked down the street, but slow and with a smile on my face. The beast. I was the beast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was the guy who sold effective cylinders to the Army Air Force. I was the guy who made 21 planes crash in Australia. Well, a kid walking down the street that day was something. But I walked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Past the porches, past every single one of them with my head up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's the only way to lick him with courage. You gotta have guts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every Tuesday night, the whole packet of them is playing poker up in my office. We've got a standin' date. All those who yelled murder trying to take my money from me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Annie, the worst thing you did was to move away from here. And it ain't gonna end till you move back. Till people start playing cards with your dad again, and smile with him, talk with him. Play cards with a man, you know he can't be a criminal. Next time you write him, I'd like you to tell him just what I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did, uh, Annie say why George called her up? And, uh, some finishers, as many as we can get. No, I guess it wasn't anything. Why does it bother you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's, uh, just that I don't want them breaking up things that had better be forgotten. To his last day in court, that man blamed it all on me. This is his daughter. Dad. Annie's gonna be my wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry. Because it's good money. There's nothing wrong with that money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, tell them. Annie, Chris just told me the good news. And I'm glad. Really glad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope that, uh, George found him a little less bitter toward me when he saw him yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now don't knock it, it comes in handy. Now look, uh, there's one thing that you kids will have to consider, and that's Kate. You can do this thing over ahead. You understand that, don't you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well hard or not, you've got to do it. You'll have to talk to her. I'll talk to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, well, well, look who's here. Well, good to see you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How are you, Joe? Oh, so, so, getting on. You look fine, George.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what I said. You look terrible, George. I wear the pants and she beats me with a belt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, somebody's gotta make the dough. How's your dad? Feel all right? No, he's not well, Joe. Ah, that's too bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the way they do, George. A man makes an honest mistake and they hang him by the thumbs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'd like him to know that as far as I'm concerned, anytime he wants, he's got a place with me. Not as my partner, of course, but, uh, a job. You don't owe him anything, Dad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course I don't, I know that, but, uh, just the same. He hates your guts, Joe. But you know that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, uh, thing can be sad even if you expected it. I expected it because I happen to know your father. I'm sad to see that he hasn't changed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as I've known him. 25 years, that part of him made me sad. A man never learned to take the blame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know that, George. Well, I... Yes, but you do know it. Because by the way you come in here, you don't look like you remembered it. I mean like in, uh, 37 when we had the shop on Flood Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he near blew it up with that heater he left burning for two days without any water. He wouldn't admit it was his fault either. I had to fire a mechanic to save his face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's good to remember those things. The way he cursed Frank when that stock went down. Now was that Frank's fault?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To listen to him, you'd think Frank was a swindler and all the man did was just give him a bad tip. I know those things. Well, remember them. Remember them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe, have you seen Stan? He says there's something the matter with the cylinders. Yeah, I know. What happened, Joe? What happened? They came out bad, that's all. It happens. They came out bad. Well, can they be fixed? No, nothing. Start all over again. By that time, we're out of business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You look at the profits at the bottom of the page, and you thought we were plenty big enough then. I relied on you. You said we could handle it. And we can! Just because a batch of some of this come out bad, stands an old lady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think every stove that we sent out of here before the war was perfect? Nobody turns out a perfect product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't even be able to keep the house. What makes you think I'm any better off? I've got more than my money tied up in this. I've got me tied up in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keller and Deaver. I guess you don't know what that means, cause you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never had to get her the way I did. It was all there for you. All you had to do was just reach out for it. Me? I had to grab it. Grab it and hold it on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you were working for your father, wearing a white collar, and living in the best house in town, I was collecting scrap iron in the back alleys. The junk man. Old cars, old sinks, old stoves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I picked up a stove from you once, sir. Did you know that? Paid you for two. I guess you wouldn't remember it was only three dollars and fifty cents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I beat it in the scrap with my bare hands and I sold it for five. Dollar and a half profit. Nice turnover. Now, the tough times were finished when you joined up with me, Herb. We were on the way then. The times when I couldn't meet the payroll.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's only a crime if you get caught. The main thing is to survive. Joe Keller is going to survive. So, uh, ship them out of here. I say they're okay. Ship them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe, is that you? It's Herb. They were just here, they want the stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play to win, that's my motto. Play to win. But I raise you. Stay. Did you ever lose, Joe? Cards. One, please. He's drawing to a flush again. Somebody come in and see who it is, Charlie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You certainly did, Charlie. You certainly did. Good night, Joe. Good night. Do you play poker as well as your father?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smally, you don't look happy. Didn't you have a good time? Is it really true, Dad? If you want to know, ask Joe. Sure, every nail in the joint, just like you said. That's how I built this place up, by knowing what's going on, knowing it good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They close you out, tear up your contracts. Your stuff is no good. What's it to them? You've put 40 years into a business and they cut your head off in five minutes. Now what can I do? Let them take 40 years away? Let them take my life away?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you want? I don't like him mixing it so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess Annie knows too. You heard from her?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're not coming back here. Maybe Chris is with her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man has to take care of his family. That's the first thing he has to do. He has to take care of his family. What must I be forgiven? You needed money, didn't you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing bothers you, huh? Got too much money as that would bother you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then, what's the problem? When something bothers you, you either get used to it or get rid of it. If you can't get used to it, then throw it away. You hear me? Take every cent and give it to charity. Throw it in the sewer! Does that settle it? In the sewer, that's all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Mary, think I'm kidding. I'm telling you what to do. If it's dirty, then burn it. It's your money, not mine. I'm a dead man. I'm an old dead man. Nothing is mine. Well tell me, what do you want me to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What should I want to do? Prison? You want me to go to prison? Is that where I belong? Well then tell me so! What's the matter? Why can't you tell me? You say everything else to me, say that!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, George is just a little upset, that's all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess your brother's coming to give the bride away, huh? You mean people are gossiping?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's important is what I have to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to do it without your consent, Kate. It would make Chris unhappy. He loves you so it would break his heart. You owe him this much happiness, Kate. Tell him it's all right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he might sanctify the people with his own blood. Christ suffered without the gate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Christ, our substitute, was to suffer without the boundaries of Jerusalem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He died outside the gate, where felons and murderers were executed. Full of significance, other words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The burying of the cross to Calvary was a blessing to Simon and he was ever after grateful for this providence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the disciples, she still cherished the hope that Jesus would manifest his power and deliver himself from his enemies. Again, her heart would sink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She saw his hands stretched upon the cross. The hammer and the nails were brought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The savior made no murmur of complaint. His face remained calm and serene, but great drops of sweat stood upon his brow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It declared that whoever might claim to be the king of Israel would be judged by them worthy of death. The priests had overreached themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thousands of people from all lands were then at Jerusalem and the inscription declaring Jesus of Nazareth the Messiah would come to their notice. It was a living truth transcribed by a hand that God had guided.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was permitted to give a stupefying potion to deaden the sense of pain. This was offered to Jesus, but when he had tasted it, he refused it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the wilderness of temptation, Satan had declared, If thou be the son of God, command that these stones be made bread, if thou be the son of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were those who never rested until by comparing scripture with scripture, they saw the meaning of Christ's mission.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never before was there such a general knowledge of Jesus as when he hung upon the cross into the hearts of many who beheld the crucifixion scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no question now. There are no doubts, no reproaches. When condemned for his crime the thief had become hopeless and despairing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But strange, tender thoughts now spring up. He calls to mind all he has heard of Jesus, how he has healed the sick and pardoned sin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has heard the words of those who believed in Jesus and followed him weeping. He has seen and read the title above the Savior's head. He has heard the passes by repeated, some with griefed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Men may exercise power over his human body. They may pierce the holy temples with the crown of thorns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the eyes of Jesus wandered over the multitude about him, one figure arrested his attention. At the foot of the cross stood his mother, supported by the disciple John.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She could not endure to remain away from her son, and John, knowing that the end was near, had brought her again to the cross. In his dying hour, Christ remembered his mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had no money with which to provide for her comfort, but he was enshrined in the heart of John, and he gave his mother to him as a precious legacy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was a constant reminder of his beloved master.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The perfect example of Christ's filial love shines forth with undimmed luster from the midst of ages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For nearly 30 years, Jesus, by His daily toil, had helped bear the burdens of the home, and now, even in His last agony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He remembers to provide for his sorrowing widowed mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those who follow Christ will feel that it is a part of their religion to respect and provide for their parents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not the pain and ignomy of the cross that caused his inexpressible agony. Christ was the prince of sufferers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A knowledge that through familiarity with evil, man had become blinded to its enormity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew that without help from God humanity must perish and he saw multitudes perishing within reach of abundant help upon Christ as our substitute and surety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Salvation for the chief of sinners was his theme. But now, with the terrible weight of guilty bears, he cannot see


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's coming forth from the grave of Kokura.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A nameless terror held the throne that was gathered about the cross. The cursing and reviling ceased.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had misinterpreted. With bitter contempt and scorn they said


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The spotless son of God hung upon the cross.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those feet, so tireless on ministries of love, spiked to the tree. That royal head, pierced by the crown of thorns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He rested in him in whom it had ever been his joy to obey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make an atonement for the sins of the people. But lo, this veil is rent in twain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No longer need sinful, sorrowing humanity await the coming of the High Priest. Henceforth,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I won't be commenting so much, but I'll be responding to your comments and I hope this can lead to a good discussion. Yes, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some religious dogmas hold it as a difference in category. So, it's not that there's categorical difference between humans and animals in terms of the kind of soul present. It's the same soul, but at different degrees of evolution of consciousness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of them are quite eco, they are quite environmentally conscious. And now science has also indicated that animals do have feelings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hunting was definitely a part of the traditional Vedic culture or it was there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in a harmless form, not in a really aggressive form like a lion or a tiger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, when we talk about, say, the four regenerative principles in our tradition,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, he got away without, without much, uh, much account, without much consequence for that. So, yeaah, it does, you know, there are, so going back to that earlier point of that, like a, like a ethical condemnation, illegal regulation and legal banning. So, evench, there are certain things, there is, there is the law that is required, but I like to put this as,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we could say that there is sporadic expansion of consciousness and there is a systematic expansion of consciousness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gee, I wish I was going to the fair with you tonight. I'd rather be doing that than anything I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well sure, only I can't neglect my cows. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say, I saw something today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well sure. You know I haven't made a plan since I was 12 years old that didn't include you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I plan to do everything my old man won't let me do on his place. Scientific irrigation, electric milking, separate hen roosts, no horses, all tractor power. You see what I mean? Everything modern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No rugs or carpets, they're just dust collectors. What's on the floor? Linoleum. Through the whole house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, I understand. You like to travel. Well, I figured we'd make a little trip. California or Bermuda. It was May we could go to Washington and see the cherry trees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, no kidding now, Margie. What do you say? What do you say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do I do? Do? Get another girl in Chicago. A girl waiting at the fair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I worked at a horse camp, like as a counselor for two years at the stables. Uhm, did like jumping and everything, all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Singen, when he grew up, would go to college and be a parson, and the girls, as soon as they left school, would seek places as governesses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as he was now not rich enough to give them fortunes they must provide for themselves. They had lived very little at home for a long while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what only come now to stay a few weeks on account of their father's death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they did so like Marsh End and Moreton, and all these moors and hills about. They had been in London and many other grand towns, but they always said there was no place like home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they were so agreeable with each other, never fell out nor freaked. She did not know whether there was such a family for being united. Having finished my task of gooseberry picking, I asked where the two ladies and their brother were now. Gone over to Morton for a walk, but they would be back in half an hour to tea. They returned within the time Hannah had allotted them. They entered by the kitchen door. Mr. St. John, when he saw me, merely bowed and passed through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mary, in a few words, kindly and calmly expressed the pleasure she felt in seeing me well enough to be able to come down. Diana took my hand. She shook her head at me. You should have waited for my leave to descend, she said. You still look very pale and so thin. Poor child. Poor girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She possessed eyes whose gaze I delighted to encounter. Her whole face seemed me full of charm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mary's countenance was equally intelligent, her features equally pretty, but her expression was more reserved, and her manners, though gentle, more distant. Diana looked and spoke with a certain authority. She had a will, evidently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was my nature to feel pleasure in yielding to an authority supported like hers, and to bend where my conscience and self-respect permitted, to an active will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what business have you here? She continued. It is not your place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mary and I sit in the kitchen sometimes, because at home we like to be free, even to license. But you are a visitor, and must go into the parlour. I'm very well here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not at all with Hannah bustling about and covering you with flour. Besides, the fire is too hot for you, interposed Mary. To be sure, added her sister, come you must be obedient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sit there," she said, placing me on the sofa, while we take our things off and get the tea ready. It is another privilege we exercise in our little moorland home, to prepare our own meals when we are so inclined, or when Hannah is baking, brewing, washing, or ironing. She closed the door, leaving me solace with Mr. St. John, who sat opposite a book or newspaper in his hand. I examined first the parlour, and then its occupant. The parlour was rather a small one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very plainly furnished yet comfortable because clean and neat. The old fashioned chairs were very bright and the walnut wood table was like a looking glass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few strange antique portraits of the men and women of other days decorated the stained walls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A cupboard with glass doors contains some books and an ancient set of china.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no superfluous ornament in the room, not one modern piece of furniture, save a brace of work boxes and a lady's desk and rosewood which stood on a side table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything, including the carpet and curtains, looked at once well worn and well saved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. St. John, sitting as still as one of the study pictures on the walls, keeping his eyes fixed on the page he perused, and his lips mutely sealed, was easy enough to examine. Had he been a statue instead of a man, he could not have been easier. He was young, perhaps from twenty-eight to thirty, tall, slender. His face riveted the eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like a Greek face, very pure in outline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quite a straight, classic nose, quite an Athenian mouth and chin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is seldom indeed an English face comes so near the antique models as did his.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He might well be a little shocked at the irregularity of my lineaments, his own being so harmonious. His eyes were large and blue with brown lashes, his high forehead, colourless as ivory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most civilians never know or care and I, I figured you didn't either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Worsened garage? No, I did not give you the wrong number.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Captain Callahan, did Walter Williams tell you what suddenly cured his amnesia after three months? No, he did not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In view of the evidence presented, we now ask for a dismissal of the state's case against Walter Williams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Maybe it wouldn't have happened if you'd done your job like you said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't connive with murder, yours or his. Look, if it's me that gets him, it won't be murder, it'll be self-defense. You're wrong. We haven't got a thing on Yudo now. He's acquitted. If you kill him, murder is what any jury will call it. Use your head, Nick, and you'll be safe. Yeah, but my wife and kids won't be safe. What makes you think you'd go after them? Rizzo's mother. Oh. Well, we'll take care of your family too. You mean you'll lock us up for the rest of our lives?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only until Yudo makes his next mistake. Till he knocks somebody else off. Till he does anything. Nick, he's a three-time loser now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You couldn't even keep a tail on him. He's nuts and he's smarter than you are. Well, sooner or later he'll trip himself up. They all do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've got to trust me, Nick. I'm too trusting you, the police, or anybody but me. There's only one way to get you, though. And that's my way. Even if you were right, I couldn't take the responsibility. I'm sorry, Nick. You're under arrest. On what charge? You've gotta have a charge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks. See you again. I wouldn't come back if I was you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the matter, big man? You turned yellow? You used to do your own shooting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Took 16 days to travel from London to Norwich.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You saw me swear the testimony about giving this cause to be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What gives you the belief, as you say, you're alongside real men then. Robson's, McGrath, Whiteside, even though he was only young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not just because of what you've won and lifting that trophy alongside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Brian Robson, first time in 26 years. You contributed to some of the most iconic moments in the Premier League. Your headers against Sheffield Wednesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course you're a club captain as well, so you have to organise an awful lot on and off the pitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When, uh, it was Villa who was chasing you, wasn't it? And you didn't win the title, you won the title without playing that year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's just one thing before we close, and I don't want to close, no matter how long we've known each other, I always, uh, enjoy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talking to you and listening to you. When you spoke just now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, again, probably because you're upbringing, you're a very respectful person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you talk about the greats in management, you talk about Guardiola, you talk about Sir Alex, etc. Jürgen Klopp, you mentioned a couple of times. But were you, like me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somewhat surprised that Yogan and disappointed on being completely honest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smashing. Smashing. Listen, great to talk to you, as always, uhm, stay safe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your country is threatened by the water, the safest place to be is already on top of the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People call me a water architect, and for me that means that you use water to make cities better. So, worldwide we try to take advantage of the water, by building on water, by taking the flexibility of the water, and by that create cities that are more efficient and more adaptable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Netherlands is an artificial country. We live underneath the sea level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what we did, we built some dykes around it and we pumped water out. So now we have a dry country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But of course, with climate change, with more sea level rise, we can't keep everything dry. So we now have to see what's the next, next step in this fantastic machine we call the Netherlands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here we have to take a lot of effort to keep everything dry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think what other architects and other countries can learn from the Dutch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that you never can sit still. You have to think of next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next steps in your city and in your country. And we call this building for change. And building for change makes it so that we have to be flexible. We have to be ready for any change in politics, in technology, in climate, in whatever comes to us. And with that we have to make sure that we can create new cities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we also have to deal with nature and we have to start living with the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was a moment that this kind of floating architecture, taking use of the water, building top of the water, is the best. Because if your city or your country is threatened by the water, the safest place to be is already on top of the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I make, uh, floating foundations that can be from concrete or from steel or from composites.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with that we can make very large floating platforms. And on top of the platforms we can build almost anything. From parks and green to houses to towers. And these big platforms we can connect to our cities on the water, on lakes, on rivers, on seas. And by that we can take advantage of that water space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only floating villas will never be enough. If you really want to cure the problems of space, you have to also do it in high densities. And high densities means that we also have to make floating towers. So the next steps for floating cities will be these floating mid-rise towers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're designing now a tower for Rotterdam, a floating office tower of mid-rise, so eight stories. We do it in CLT, cross-laminated timber, and that's been put on big floating foundations. You can create almost the same density as on land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People ask me, do you want to live underwater yourself? Well, I have a family, I have three sons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for me, I only want to live on the water if the quality of the comfort is exactly the same as on land. But today with all the technology we have available from the offshore industry and from, from the shipping industry, we can make platforms that nobody will even notice that you're on the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You come back from work and you feel relaxed, like you're on vacation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our vision is not limited to houseboats. You could also have floating schools, offices and supermarkets. Just about any sort of structure actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two great adventures of mankind are space and the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pika worked in the deepest parts of the ocean, at 11,000 meters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And provide a base for scientists, like a beehive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day we'll have space tourism, and also underwater tourism, with facilities like hotels and research centers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I make my dreams reality. I build my dreams. And to do that, you have to be able to think clearly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our society has caused a lot of destruction over the last 100 years, and we continue to destroy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 200 to 300 million climate refugees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could be 100 years. But what is 100 years in the grand scheme of things? You have to have imagination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they had a vision for the future. You have to have that vision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The future is just a brief period of time in the course of human evolution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A hundred or even five hundred years means nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Centuries ago, people used to take a long-term view.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the event of an emergency, for example, you could move houseboats to hard-hit areas fairly quickly to provide people with temporary accommodations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cities keep getting more densely populated and buildings keep getting taller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if he does, I shall say quite calmly and decidedly. Thank you, Mr. Brooke. You are very kind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, come in. He's in the rack. I'll get him and tell it you're here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, she wrote me too. They should be on their way home soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We designed the connections so that they could bridge the difference in height.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That difference is caused by the tides, but it's not very big, like 60 centimeters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We put the lines in flexible tubes, which are connected to the units, and they can handle the rise and fall of the tides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We chose concrete because it's heavy and displaces water, based on Archimedes' principle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We made concrete tubs in different sizes to balance the weight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, a bathroom is heavy, so we made the concrete basin thicker on the opposite side to offset the increased weight. We explain all this to the residents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if someone has a heavy sofa and a piano on one side of the unit,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People in other countries could use our projects as an example. You also have to be willing to experiment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm Ronald. I'm evacuated. Oh, how do you do, Ronald? Pleased to meet you, I'm sure. It's in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here for my health and what to do you anyway? What were you doing with my luggage?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you'd have had medals, not ribbons. Why didn't you get married?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eleven? I just did use things. Am I allowed to go where I like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you a scientist? I made one that stayed up 6 minutes and 42 seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, this is just an hobby. It's not what I'm really going for. Oh, what's that? Ever heard of Sherlock Holmes? Oh, were you a disciple of Sherlock Holmes? He was the greatest man what ever lived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, how'd you know? Bet you're a tanner, he is. And what's more, I'll prove it. Go on, call him. Evans!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Ellen's bought me a new suit, two dicky dirts and a posh tip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Night of the air marries beautiful nurse. I can see it in the daily mirror already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, you might think it's a bit dull, but, well...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ditch, ditch yourself. She went in there the morning I came in. If cooks are allowed to go in there, why can't I?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh, don't nothing much. Just something I picked up. Don't wrapped up yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tired? Yeah, I think I gotta bed. Good night. Good night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trail. I threw out your suitcase thing. Shirts, pajamas and collars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Citizen, we have all taken great pains to keep the location of this press secret. And I've never heard of Citizen Williams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you hear that potential employers? OU is the biggest party school in Ohio. As if you're hiring a party


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it always surprises you. Some team just comes out of nowhere with their defense and I hope that's the case. I'm more focused on the fact that he made these statements and how do you feel about the fact that he's making these statements. Do you like these bold proclamations? You got no problem with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do think we should take a moment and recognize something that we do- we don't take a step back and maybe appreciate enough because we've had some good fortune over the last couple of years. Can you think about how terrible like this defense has been since you've even been here? Just think of some of the players that we've tried to get excited about. Think about some of the people we had starting at cornerback at certain times and the fact that these are-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still the NFL. Paul Krueger, Carlos Dansby, Craig Robertson, Nate Orchard, Traymon Williams to Sean Gibson. Guys. Sean Gibson was a solid player. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The closing thing is, they always say, well, they do a lot with what they have to work with. That's supposed to be the thing that we're supposed to be happy about. Look at that team. You gotta respect what they've done. You gotta respect what Terry does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do too, but there seems to be this big hurry to get Colin Sexton out of town that I don't agree with. I don't know why people are so, it's as if he wronged us somehow or something. He wasn't, he might not be a perfect fit or anything, but they started off the season well together before he got injured. People forget that. I mean, he hasn't really played with the same unit


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that Garland's had the benefit of playing with and we haven't seen really what they can do together. And I'm not, if you get an amazing deal on somebody who you know can benefit the team, it's a benefit, but I just don't, I'm not, everyone's in a hurry to kick him out the door and he's a talented player, he's proven to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was obviously an outside shooter specialist, does that matter at all?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know the onion, one of my favorite onion articles real fast. Tim Duncan, huge nerd as we all know. Y'all know about obviously Wilt Chamberlain's record of sleeping with women. Onion article headline was, Tim Duncan admits to being friends with over 1,000 women. That is brilliant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He cares about legacy, he cares about stats, he cares about breaking every record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could probably play for another 10 years the way he keeps his body going in some capacity. You know what I mean? Like he could play, he could just like, he could play like an old slower center essentially if he wants those stats. But if he's not, if he can't stand going out there and not being Lebron and not being the star that he was, uh, then you know, it's going to be up to him in the long run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you made a top five list and one of yours is a lie? Like one of them is just something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was just in a sassy mood. I was out there like doing an announcement before the game, you know, like saying, hey everybody, go buy stuff from the gift store or something like that. And he was shooting around and I was just in his way. So he was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say one thing in fam's defense and that is we've all been in leagues where the commissioner was trash like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're all with the same theme of send some money and we'll send you some back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you send a thousand dollars, I will send back $2,000 only doing this for 30 minutes. Now each of these tweets so did seem to be slightly customized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the individual account it was appearing on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Others said it was actually for a COVID-19 relief fund. Now, the list is quite lengthy of the different people and companies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bill Gates, Elon Musk were amongst the first ones, but Apple, Warren Buffett, former president Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos, Mike Bloomberg,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, it does, uh, seem that there were different Bitcoin addresses the tweets were sending people to, but one of those that you can click on and see the different transactions, there are a number of them. Most of them are small, but right now has, uh, about 120,000 US dollars in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether or not this is actually money from people who have fallen victim to the scam at this point, it still isn't clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what they're saying at this point. They keep, uh, every once in a while sending out a tweet saying that essentially be patient, we're still working on it. Initially that they were aware of the security incident, then added that many people may not be able to tweet in their most recent one saying that we are continuing to limit the ability to tweet, reset your password and some other account functionalities while we look into this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you for your patience. Uhm, Uber tweeted as well in terms of to its users to let them know it was a scam in their tweet saying like many others our Uber account was hit by a scammer today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shows that perhaps these hackers have gotten into a system base, an infrastructure level of Twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, whatever, we'll move on. Let's talk about Enjoku because quite frankly, I do think that the Browns overpaid for him. I do not think he is the fifth best tight end in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's never been that security blanket. When you think of these tight ends, when you think of what Heath Miller was to Ben Roethlisberger, when you think what Mark Andrews was not only to Lamar Jackson, but then to Tyler Huntley, it is a security blanket. David Njoku has never been that guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say this though, Austin Hooper is gone, and you were just talking about Austin Hooper maybe cutting into some of his touches, but when I did that chalk talk with Kevin Stefanski a few weeks ago just before I was in studio with you guys, he was specifically asked for one young player that he was looking to make a jump, and the one he named was Harrison Bryant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A player could be paid and he could get complacent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do radio in Pittsburgh every Monday and it was actually, even though the Steelers just named a dude general manager and have rebuilt their entire front office and have bided you to somebody that's been there a long time. We spent a good chunk of time yesterday actually talking about the Injoku deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, this is the most bizarre situation and we know that Lamar Jackson doesn't have a traditional agent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both of these GMs have told me they think this actually benefits the Ravens that Lamar Jackson doesn't have this urgency because they think the Ravens shouldn't commit the amount of money that they're ready to commit to Lamar Jackson. Wait a second. Wait a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, here's one thing that I would say, and I think that Lamar Jackson is a little bit more in the mold of a Josh Allen or even a Tom Brady to say he doesn't need the entire bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not getting teammates to play with. I'm not getting the support around me that I need. The same way Tom Brady was never the highest paid quarterback. Lamar Jackson is more of that mind and I think he's smart enough to recognize that there are other ways to make money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if you win, everybody eats. It's kind of like Brady made so much money on endorsement deals. Lamar Jackson has a clothing line. He's willing to do other things. So I don't know that he's sitting there and saying, I need to get the most guaranteed money that's ever been promised to anybody in the National Football League. I think he's thinking, I need a team around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the Wii U and the 3DS. It's been quite a few years. I don't know exactly what year the Wii got its Nintendo online services cut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we're seeing the same with the Wii U and 3DS officially. Which is pretty sad. So this is going to be our last time ever playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] WeSportsClub online. I'm actually expecting there to be kind of quite a few people playing this online. I would think since it's ending tomorrow. A lot of people are playing it online tonight, but we'll see. Last time I played this online was a few months back and there was like nobody playing. Wait, is it already?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, my Wii U is just not connected to the internet right now. I need to, I need to figure that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the last time we'll ever be in the internet connection settings for this console, probably. That's sad. I had a really good username on this Nintendo online, uh, Look at my Nintendo network ID for this account. BeefBossEatsAss. You're never gonna get a great username like that ever again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I had it. And now this Nintendo Online service is no longer used. If Nintendo Online isn't being supported anymore,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like this Netflix that's on Wii U and this other online stuff on the Wii U main menu I think also aren't going to be supported anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna start with tennis, and we can go to online games still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is it. This is the last of the last. Maybe everyone's forgotten that Nintendo announced that this is going to be ending and tomorrow is the day it ends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No opponents found, wow. Nintendo Wii U online ends tomorrow and no one is playing. Tennis at least. Let's go to the next sports. Maybe everyone just hates tennis and are avoiding it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, look at this. Everyone's just playing bowling. Ian and Chelsea, at least. Frickin' nerds. I'm the level five. I'm playing against California and Illinois. I'll make Florida proud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got Chelsea. She gets the bowl from the women's tees. She's not paying attention, so I'm gonna go ahead and banter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ian is also bantering, but Chelsea is frickin' doing woman things instead of bowling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, nope, she's figuring it out. Somehow her first day on Wii Sports U bowling, oh wait, nope. Then she ends up having a pretty good throw. She got a spare, she's ahead of Ian. Alright, a strike here puts me in the lead, early lead. Ooh, gutter ball. She makes us watch the whole frickin' thing. I won't drag ass here like she did. Uh oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, at least I can get a spare. I'm somewhat going right- Oh, fuck me! Yeah, screw this game. Fucking put it offline. It's bullshit anyway. Ian doesn't know how to throw the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have my doubts. Hey bitch, we don't wanna see your stupid strike. There's no- PRESS A! PRESS A! No one wants to see your stupid mediocre strike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's gonna make this, uh, game hopefully not me in last place. I need this girl to screw up. I'm not losing to a girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She makes us watch the whole thing. She doesn't press A after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yay! That- I- I was trying to do a Wii Sports strategy right there, but Wii Sports strategy does not work in Wii Sports Club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, typical. Gotta watch her ball hit one pin three frickin' times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you guys are dun- You guys are dunzo bunzo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy sucks at throwing the ball most of the time. And he didn't even get his split.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh god bless america. Now she thinks she can throw strikes and guess what? She makes us watch every single time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, and then I, it's rigged, it's rigged. I finally don't get a strike right when she, uh, gets a strike. I don't know. Ooh, he gives himself some pretty bad throws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know who's worse though. This guy who does this 15 times. Every fucking turn. DUDE!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not losing to, to frickin' Ponytail McGee here. Ah, I was really hoping that would be a split.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nope. And we're gonna get asparagus, eh? Asparagus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh oh. Yeaah, things started curving to the left now. I don't know what to believe anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like then that one had a slight right tail. I don't know where my balls are going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I might have to try something different on my throws because I am not doing good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that should have been a split sandwich right there. Should have not. Alright, I gotta try, I gotta try something new. I'm scared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually when he does that, he screws up. And he did. He's in some- Oh! He even did a little rotaty. Oh wow. Okay, well he's out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just can't let her get three strikes in a row right here. I think that'd be very, very no bueno. Oh, there's one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my goodness, I was, I was nervous. I was nervous. Look at BeatBuzz jumping around. I just realized you could do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not by much, but I won. Look at me, 49. I am now level 6. All for not, because tomorrow this means nothing. Oh no. Golf. Golf on Wii Sports Club is a pain in the ass. Okay, so online you can do a single hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three holes or nine holes. I only wanna do three holes. And I'm kinda hoping that no one's even online for it. Because you have to put your gamepad on the floor. And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aim your Wii Remote down at the gamepad like it's a putter, you know, whatever club you're using. It's really weird. Level 1, and of course I'm playing some kid from Massachusetts who's level 10 in this. Wow, I'm screwed. So close, nice, I did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it got no roll whatsoever, it actually started going backwards. But I out drove him. Friggin Tiger Woods' alt account here. Wow, it almost went in the hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn. Alright, let's see my shot though. Beef Boss has been known to be pretty good with the irons. Ow! Ow! My thumb! I hit it into the desk! That wasn't terrible. That actually wasn't bad at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ow, my thumb hurts though. I jammed it between the Wii Remote and- Oh, my putt's further? My ass is further. Okay, we need, we need like one bar of power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm. I get to see how his played out, which is kinda nice. Oops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, at least mine's a little better than his, but not much. I did not, my practice swing was absolutely perfect, and my actual swing was not. That's probably way too far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh boy, that's not very good. My practice swings were not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way. But then I- that's what I got because this game hates me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many times are you going to make my practice swing perfect? And then I go to actually swing and it is not perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, this game's, it's nerfing me. It's quite literally nerfing me. Yeah, make sure you don't miss your three foot putt here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now congrats on your stroke ahead of me here. Because the game literally dicked me in my ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I turn completely around and drive it? Awww. They remove your partner from behind you when you actually go to, uh, when you actually go to hit. I was just gonna turn around and chuck my ball at him. Or drive my ball right at him. But he does not exist when you're actually hitting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hate this game. I hate this game. I hate this game. I never practice swinging ever again. Ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course it goes right off the green, so my power bar is going to be stupid compared to his.

[Assistant] I hate this game. I hate this game. It's stupid. It's incredibly stupid. Well, there's one thing I learned. Don't practice swing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I thought that would be a beautiful shot right there, but it's still rolled all the way across the green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He thinks he can play- that- that's a terrible place to play it. Why would you play it there if the- if the- if the elevation is over there? I- I- I don't understand his strategy here. Oh, the wind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you really had to look at the greens elevation there for that one, eh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he put some backspin on it. I don't even know how he's doing that, to be honest with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there's a chance I could actually gain the stroke on him here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He needs to miss this pot. Which I think is very possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We end up with a solid tie. I don't think it's gonna break that much, buddy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it's gonna break that much. I really don't. I'm no tiger. But I am a panther.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not gonna break that much. Idiot. Okay, this is my chance, my chance to tie the game so I don't lose at least.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Barely. Barely, barely, barely enough on that one. Really, I beat him. In my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game totally dick me on the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First, uh, first thing. Look at this. His score isn't even affected. By my, my win. Dude, this guy's a rainbow bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That dude probably worked hard for that level 10 and he just lost to a level 1. What an idiot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When hitting from the wrong- Do you think I need tips? I just beat a level 10? Time for baseball. This joke, uh, this joke, haha. Crazy I said it like that, but this is a joke. The latency and shit in this one just makes it-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because boxing makes me so mad on this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one requires two Wii remotes instead of a Wii remote and an Nunchuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I am double-fisting Wii remotes. Of course!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course there's opponent waiting for boxing. I'm about to get my ass slapped. It's not even gonna be close. It's gonna be sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's going to be, look, he's level star 1. That, that must be more than level 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, so that one guy was star level 10. So like that's beyond being level 10. He's the star rank. Plus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, here we go. Plus, like, level 10 in the star rank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh oh. I think we DC'd. I think we DC'd. Wait, no, I don't know. Yep, there it is. Goodbye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there it is. No opponents found. Welp. Shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's try tennis one more time, because that didn't work out either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there it is again. No opponents found. Well, maybe it's for the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] HuiYu Online is getting terminated because even on the eve of its termination, there's not many people playing. We found a couple people bowling, uh, person golfing, and that is literally it. Three out of the five sports, we couldn't find any. While boxing, we found someone, and then they immediately disconnected. But overall,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's very good. So, R.I.P. This is it for me. Signing off from Online Wii Sports Club. Forever. Bye!
