[Assistant] Moving on to the sides now, he does have the next-gen tires that are light-year, but it's very hard to see, but it does say in that white text right there, light-year. I think you can actually see it pretty well from that angle. And it does look like he has a silver or goldish outline, maybe like a gray one, I don't know, that goes around the black rim. So that's pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Tim has synergy in addition to those three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess Harvey Rodcap is too good for Syringy. So that's actually interesting though because it does make sense in reality that all of them won't have the same


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But his number from the first movie, or Easy Idol's number, did change. It used to be 51. And just so you guys know, he replaced the stock car, Easy Idol racer in Cars 3, who may be the same as in Cars 1, Ruby, Easy Oaks, I believe his name is, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or it may be a new one, but since Metal hasn't released him or any information has been released regarding him, we really don't know. But the 15's very small there, kind of insignificant, but it's nice and simple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really do like this though, it's kind of like a track, it's like grey on the outsides and blue in the middle, and it comes down into this blue bottom here with the exhaust pipes, I like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gas cap there. You have the typical Easy Idol logo on either side of the back window. I like the slanted number 15 on the roof there. Of course, you can see the roof flaps there as well. And the spoiler is obviously in blue with Easy Idol written out in gray text. And it's kinda slanted up to the right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I really do like the back here because since it's in blue it creates for a nice contrast. You know his paint scheme is dominated by the grey and the white so the blue on the back here really does look great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like how they inverted the easy eye of the logo, so instead of having the borders being blue and the text being white, it's now the opposite. So you can see there, normal logo, and there it is inverted because of the blue background.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they're a rookie, so there are Jackson Storms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's pretty much all for Harvey. Now let's talk about his number and compare him to Ruby Easy Outs from Cars 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, like I said, he may have replaced Ruby himself, or another stock card may have come in and replaced Ruby, and then Harvey is replacing that one. We don't know just yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For revolting, I know I talked about this in my review of TG Castle Nut, but basically, they didn't want to have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's why Apple got to stay with AD4. So it makes sense, right? And obviously the designs on these two guys are so different. And fortunately, we did lose the slogan that EZILE used to have. A warm start to a cold morning. I do like that slogan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's kinda sad that it's not on the next gen, but it seems like with most of the next gens, they're pretty simple and don't have much wording or any words at all just for the logo. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So just a little comparison here. I mean, extremely different, but you can still kinda see like the carryovers in the blue and white. You know, I really do like Easy Idol as a brand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just kinda sitting there, I don't know, I'm confused. But yea, look how many times this slogan is on the old Easy Idol. That's one, that's two, that's three, that's four, that's five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or maybe create a new slogan. But let me know in the comment section below, do you prefer Ruby, Easy Oaks, or Harvey Rodcap?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to have to go with Harvey just because he looks so amazing in this gunmetal grey, and that was a color that was definitely not on Ruby, so they have definitely upgraded their branding, which makes sense because of the 11 year change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Due to school and just life in general, I just can't do as many videos anymore, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I did do a lot of videos over the summer, so did you even see all those? I mean there was a lot, so if you didn't see all those maybe you should go check those out for the time being if you're bored one day and just wait for me to upload another video because I try to do one at least once per week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think, you know, ever since like just two or three weeks ago I've been...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Super rare, I don't even know how I was able to do that. I had to study for like three tests the following day and I like aced them all. So, I don't know, maybe it actually helps if I do a video and like cram. I don't know, maybe. We'll try it out this week. I don't know, that's kind of a risk. But anyway, I'll see you guys next time. Bye now!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at, look, how cute. I just, I just watched before I came on because I heard there was going to be animals on. I just watched on YouTube when animals go nuts in talk shows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know it! There is something you're leaving out of the story though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what's that, young man? If Geargod was a mindless mechanical lifeform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then that means the current gear god must, well, its mind must possess the original wisdom's consciousness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, Gao. I know you don't want to hear this, but by now I'm sure that Wisdom's already erased Gear God's heart and soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah gee, well, for fuck's sake, I guess I gotta work out a few kinks. Just sit still. Hm?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, hello dominoes, yeaah, I'll have, uh, one large dead Chinese girl, I- look, fuck, shit, uh, I mean... You think they heard me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another job well done, X-Men. Hey, Bob. Not so fast, we need to talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like Scott. Sorry. It's because I'm so hairy, isn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, Logan wants to go to Flavortown!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in other news, my balls hurt all the time because they're so big I sit on them and then sometimes- Hey lookie here, who's the new guy? I don't know. You got a problem, bub?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I got a problem. How about we see if this ball fits in your asshole? No thanks, bub. I'll, uh, pass on that one. You fucking hear me? I wanna see if this ball fits in your asshole! How about we see if these fit in your-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, it's okay. I may be the mutant here, but you're the one acting like a monster. Maybe someday you'll learn to accept others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breaking news, this just in, the president has declared war on all mutants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had a good, we had a good, uh, mutual friend, Ed. And, uh, you know, over at OSS we were looking for a sales rep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I talked to, I reached out to an old friend, I'd known him probably about 5, 6 years at that point, some of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, simultaneously we're looking for some of those local that we could just kind of work with very well. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ed actually introduced me to Andreas, and then once I started looking at Andreas' portfolio, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was stuff from like the Bruce Lee Foundation, Neighborhood, Sir, you know, Dubtaps, like all these huge brands, Nike, uhm, you know, it became apparent that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should at least have a conversation, see if it could work. And aside from all that, you look at the fine art and like all his like style.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it was, it was in the direction that we wanted to move as a brand. Go a little bit darker, a little bit deeper. Uhm. You know, he had, he had a really good style about him, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I just shot an email out in the dark and saw if he would reply and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you took a look at what we're doing, right? And kind of saw that there was some kind of like similar things going on, you know, conceptually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think everything worked out. There's some things that we could help you with. There's things that you could definitely help us with. And yeah, so it just all ended up working out perfectly, you know what I mean? I think every season we look at it just gets better and better. It just hones it on the image every season. So yeah, I mean, that's how it all started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think, you know, I mean, Scotty's, I mean, on his own, he's like amazing. Yeaah, yeaah. He doesn't need any special props on his own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I just, I think, you know, I wanted to hold true to our mission statement that we wanted to push from within BMX out, you know? Right. And I thought, I really thought Andreas has something to offer. He's a good outlet into the outside world. Yeah, you know, I think he really had something to offer for us, you know, to do that. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's happening step by step, so. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As beautiful as it is, as nice as it is, it's not, to me, it's not worth it because it's, it is very dangerous, you know. And especially come unprepared. Just think about, you might have to walk, you know, 10 miles in this weather. I've helped people up here that come up here and just, they have nothing. No, you know, they have light jackets, they have, you know, tennis shoes and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's just not very smart. It's tourists. Yeah, pretty much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that any good? He asked, turning back to me abruptly and eyeing my breakfast with a teasing look on his face. Honestly, it doesn't look very appetizing. Well, it's no irritable grizzly, I murmured, ignoring him when he glowered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was still wondering why he responded that way when I mentioned Alice. I hurried through my cereal, speculating. He stood in the middle of the kitchen, the statue of Adonis again, staring abstractedly out the back windows. Then his eyes were back on me, and he smiled his heartbreaking smile. And you should introduce me to your father too, I think. He already knows you, I reminded him. As your boyfriend, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dating history gave me few reference points to work with. Not that any normal rules of dating applied here. It's not necessary, you know? I don't expect you to, I mean, you don't have to pretend for me. This smile was patient. I'm not pretending.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I push the remains of my cereal around the edges of the bowl, biting my lip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a loose interpretation of the word boy, I'll admit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was under the impression that you were something more, actually, I confess, looking at the table. Well, I don't know if we need to give him all the gory details.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he will need some explanation for why I'm around here so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want Chief Swan getting a restraining order put on me. Will you be? I asked suddenly anxious. Will you really be here? As long as you want me, he assured me. I'll always want to, I warned him, forever. He walked slowly around the table, and pausing a few feet away, he reached out to touch his fingertips to my cheek. His expression was unfathomable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I doubted there were any etiquette books detailing how to dress when your vampire sweetheart takes you home to meet his vampire family. It was a relief to think the word to myself. I knew I shied away from it intentionally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe opened it with an angry look. Good afternoon, said Mr. Brooke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I came to get my umbrella which I left behind yesterday. I'll get it, said Joe, pushing past him. Now Meg can tell him, she thought. But Meg was moving to the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I expect mother will want to see you, she said. I'll call her. Don't go, he said. Are you afraid of me, Meg?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How can I be afraid when you've been so kind to Father? said Meg. I wish I could thank you for it. You can, he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he took Meg's small hand in his and looked at her lovingly. Oh, please don't, she said, looking frightened. I only want to know if you love me a little, Meg, he said gently. I love you so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he got fired up because I said I would take Kareem Abdul-Jabbaro. It's blasphemy. That's blasphemy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because in the last week and change, I've done three, three or four radio interviews, including the latest one when I was, you don't need a timer anymore because we're on the show. Look how focused we are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yesterday, I was doing an interview in a radio station in North Carolina, right? And I'd been on in Alabama and a couple other places.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everywhere I go on, they're asking me like, what do the fans think about Deshaun Watson? Okay, I get that. And, and yesterday though, I got fired up because the guy who was interviewing me says, well, Carolina fans really feel like they dodged a bullet by not trading for Deshaun Watson. I said, oh really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, let me ask you this. Let's say Deshaun Watson gets suspended for a year, which I don't think he's going to be ultimately, but let's say he does, in theory, get suspended for a year. I said listen, would you rather have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jacoby Presett for one year, and then Deshaun Watson for four, or the crapola you got at quarterback in Carolina. And he was like, well, okay, I guess that's a good point. Like, people are so prisoner of the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, I apologize for what I'm doing. I want to talk to our fans. I'm looking right in the camera. Don't apologize!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yea, you're a hypocrite like we all are. Oh, cause we were ripping brothels burger and ripping the Steelers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just admit you're a hypocrite, but admit something else. All these other fan bases around the country for these teams that have scrubbed quarterbacks like Carolina or all these other teams that were trying to get to Sean Watson, their fans are going to pretend they dodged a bullet. They're going to say, oh, he's a bad guy. I wouldn't want him on my team. They're all full of crap. They all want him on their team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dead on. Great point. And I think the reality is most of us want to just talk about football. We've said it a million times. We don't know exactly what happened. We'll probably never know exactly what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm hoping these other cases get settled. These other poor women are probably looking for more money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm hopeful, yes, but I don't know, I mean, this Ashley Solis who spoke on the show, she hasn't settled, maybe she wants her day in court. I don't know what's gonna happen, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would think, as we talked about yesterday, what's your dollar figure? We played the Judge Jay game. Yeah. Obviously this is a lot more serious than that, but like, you know, most people have a number, so it might be higher for those other four. I like that, I like that more. But here's the reality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ben Ro- I know it's 2 versus 24, I get it, but you know what the Sean Watson was never accused of, which- Rape. Ben Roethlberger was? Rape. Exactly. Absolutely. That's a whole new ball game. It is. And yet, when Ben Roethlberger retired-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And ultimately fans mostly care about what you do on the field. And you're right, there's going to be fans that will never like Deshaun Watson. You don't have to like him. He's got to deal with that. That's his, that's his...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, thing to deal with, but ultimately if he plays well, most of these stories go away and if they get brought up, it doesn't affect his career. His teammates probably don't care about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Here's my conspiracy theory on this. The NFL wants to come off as tough as possible, right? So they can convince the people that are angry that they're trying to do their best job. You bet. However, they don't want to get into a fight with the players union over this. And they want this...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The start of training camp is a celebration of football. They want, I believe they want this over and settled by then. So what they're going to do is they're going to say, hey listen, we wanted to give them a longer suspension, but it was going to be a big fight. So we ended up giving them eight games and that's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have said from day one it would be an eight game suspension. I still say it's going to be an eight game suspension. And I think the league keeps putting this out there because they want the public to think they're trying to do more, but their hands are tied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think those four are gonna get more money than the other. I think that sounds like they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's only two scenarios, uh, where he would not go over. One, he has some sort of devastating injury that just completely, like, an all-time injury that throughout his career. Two, something else comes up where he ends up going to jail in this vein. If those two things don't happen,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is by far the best roster he's played with. I mean, it's not even close, especially on the offensive side of the ball. And he's never had a good offensive line. He's never had a good running back. He did have one good wide receiver, a great wide receiver in the Andre Hopkins. Uh, but that's it. And he's got so much talent around in the running game. I mean, everything around him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people want to canonize Baker for one playoff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and I are going to have the ultimate celebration when Deshaun Watson wins the Super Bowl. Stick it into the face of all the D bags who didn't want it. I'll be going back. You guys will probably lead the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That almost assumes that if they hadn't made a trade, they would have won a Super Bowl. No, it doesn't. If you weren't going to win a Super Bowl either way, then why is it a bad trade?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he's a consistent winner, if he goes deep in the playoffs, if he gets to a Super Bowl and loses, okay? I'm gonna still say the trade was good, but it's disappointing that he didn't win. I can see that. That's justifiable. If he's consistently going to the playoffs and gets to at least one Super Bowl, how can you say it's a bad trade? I mean, that's justifiable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you said for the next 10 years, and I'm not factoring off field, he would be at worst fourth for me, at worst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the difference between on the field


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watson, Burrow, Mahomes, Herbert, and Josh Allen. Those five guys. You know, forget the older guys. The young, of the young quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the differences between those five are minimal. I think you could put them in kind of any order. I think they're all elite talent. Now, Watson has proven, well Watson and Herbert have done the least amount of winning of that group in the playoffs. Some of that to team around them to be fair, but those guys got more to prove in the post.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so for him to come up in that spot after they had just blown the lead, which I, I know Byron Buxton's a great hitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I want to walk Luis Arais. Well, Byerbuck's not a great hitter. He's a great talent, and he's got big power. Luis Arais is a much better hitter, and with second and third I would have walked Arais, and I thought that, you know, whatever, but doesn't matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bucksley doesn't hit into a lot of double plays, he's too fast. To lose that momentum in a big game, the start of a big series with all these good American League teams, to blow it, and then to have this guy who would be so awful hit that big home run with two outs, because if they get out of that inning there, then the twins go to their closer in the ninth, it could have been a different story, who knows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People's obsession over college recruiting with this one exception. It's absurd and annoying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ohio State individually is not far off, but as a conference...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do a family that went to Michigan, okay, and my producer on the radio is a Michigan guy too. So I feel like I'm a neutral observer, and I think it's obviously Ohio State has


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, opened up a gap in the past decade plus. There's no doubt about it. But I think Ohio State fans and especially former players, former players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The classy move is to give Michigan their props for getting a win. Yeah. And then when you kick their ass this year, it happens, which I think it will, but who knows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leroy, let's talk some, let's talk, let's talk some Browns here. Yesterday, obviously, uh, the announcement that 20 of the 24 cases. Yep. Against Watson have been settled. Hopefully the other four soon. It looks like we'll have, uh, an answer soon. What was your reaction when you heard that news?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless I was pretty confident the others were going to settle as well. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're doing the Oklahoma drill. Mm. Pound for pound, who would be the toughest competition for you? Pound for pound, former Browns teammates, who would be the toughest fight for you in that? In your prime. Oklahoma.

[Assistant] That ain't cool. Nope, you're right. We respect that too. Leroy, if your life's on the line in a, in a, in a street fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you have to have a partner with you to fight this ultimate life or death fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were told not to ask any more questions. We were told not to ask any more questions, but I gotta ask one more. How long would you survive in the bear cage with the zoo? Uh, in the zoo, at the zoo, in the bear cage, against the bear, you're fighting a bear, how long would you last?

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chris, one of the hosts yesterday made like a snide comment about another journalist and I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I just don't, like most sports reporters don't know anything about hockey. That's like it's own niche, right? Linda Cohn does. Right, yeah, certainly. Emily Kaplan. Yes. That works there. She knows hockey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, what's his name? Out in L.A. with a bad, uh, goatee. Uh, uh, the older writer. I can't think of his name. Used to be in Dallas? No, no, no. No, you're thinking of Kalashaw. Yeah, Kalashaw. Plaski. Plaski, right? I'm like, doesn't Plaski know anything about hockey? Look, so here's the deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There we go. I'm proud of you. I'm not dieting, honestly, but I'm doing this to embarrass myself and hopefully motivate myself to get back on track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. It's the long road. I haven't been dieting frankly the last couple of weeks. I've been eating poorly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Kanata, why don't we just regroup with Gao and the others? I feel nervous with just the three of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when I met Tuan, we actually started hanging out. As soon as I met him, we kicked it. We like hung out every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, they leave. 20 minutes later, me and Antoine are in the back by ourselves smoking a cigarette. Fucking Camry come in the parking lot, jumps into the parking lot, dude comes out the revolver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I definitely pissed in like multiple girls' mouths before. Oh, really? Yeah, multiple times. Yeah, one time while a girl was sleeping. That's love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but skateboarders be working on parts for like a while. They're staying, like how we and BMX have like kind of transitioned to like quicker content.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're still devoted to like DVDs and web parts, I mean not a- it's still transi-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, it's cool that, like, with him, like, Beagle still will drive down on a Sunday, pick him up, and go out and film, you know what I mean? Right. Like, we were talking about trying to do something kinda just like both of us, maybe just to park at it or something, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, we'll just sit at the house and play Forza or watch BMX videos. What's Forza? You always say- Forza. Oh, it's a video game. Oh. Forza? What is it? Forza. It's like a car game. Oh, okay. But, I mean, yea, we'll just sit at the house and basically do nothing. Sit on the phones. Not even talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just play pool. Joe's here too, he's not in the podcast, but my friend Joe and his girlfriend Ali, we go there pretty much every night and play pool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, I don't- To be honest, to be honest, since this is no jumper, I fucking hate hanging out with BMXers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, cause I fucking think they're boring. I hate talking about BMX. I like riding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like the third day that I ever met Antoine I walk into Revolt in Long Beach and he's in there just buying Strangership. Bought my signature grips, got some shirts, he did buy a demolition seat.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huntington? It's like paradise to me. I love Huntington Beach. It's nice. The beach is right there. Like four miles from the beach at all times if you're far, you know? It's cool. It's got women there, you got weed, you got good vibes, everything you need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been busy. I've been really busy. Touring and shit, huh? Yea, touring, different shit, just meetings, you know, being in the studio out here in Hollywood. But when I'm in the city, I try and just like chill, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's just like a really good learning experience like to see him like the way he works and the way he moves like as a role model, you know? Right. It's cause it's a good like, you know, it's a good role model to have as your first tours, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it's more focused, you know what I mean? And like, it's a good performance and everything is on point. His performance is crazy. Oh crazy, wild, unorganized tour, like bitches everywhere, like you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean there's parts of that yea, like downtown Huntington Beach, like a lot of rich people, you know? Where I'm from is like the north side, which is more like working class, but like, it's just, it's a different vibe, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was I like as a kid? I mean like as a kid I used to skate, surf, you know, like all the shit that everybody used to do. I used to play the drums. That's kinda how I got like my first step into music really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I started playing the drums before I even started rapping and shit. When I was in like fifth, sixth, seventh grade, I played drums.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eighth grade year I probably started fucking around freestyling for the first time, you know? And at that time I listened to East Coast shit like Wu-Tang Clan. Wu-Tang was the other one I was going to say. Yeah, style wise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really I was rapping like that, you know, like really rapping, like boom bap type shit, like spitting bars, you know, I really singing this shit like I do now. But uhm, nah, it was just what I was on then. And then as the times changed, you know, through high school, freshman year, I started recording with my big homie Maddox, you know, my producer now. And uhm, really like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of developed with the time, you know what I mean? Like what I listened to started to change. It wasn't the same. So like, I just started creating like what I wanted to make, you know? And then still expressing myself and like what's going on in my life. Cause like that's what I use music for at first, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just grew, you know, like you said, if you go back four years, you can hear that. If you go back three years, you hear the evolution. Two years, one year, you know, you hear the evolutions where it is now. I think it's pretty cool to be able to go back and like see, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well a lot of dudes delete all the shit off their soundcloud. You never delete anything? No, cause like back then, like, that was important to us and me, you know? Like, I put a lot into that at the time, you know, we did that ourselves, like, we worked hard to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything out on your own. Basically, you know what I mean? Like he put me on basically for most of the shit, everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I kinda, I mean like, nah, I know my voice like really, I mean like, I don't know, there was always something about it, you know? That felt right, you know? And people were like, oh I fuck with it, but like, we just stayed at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like really a passion and love making music, so it wasn't just like, let's do this shit, you know what I mean? So it was just like, whether this shit works or not, I'm making music, you know? And the fact that it's good and people like it and it's working, like that shit's a blessing, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But anyways, yeah, no, shout out to my manager Sam, he got me back in the studio, cause we weren't in the studio for a while, you know, cause we lost ours. And then, uh, Maddox introduced me to him, came over there, just started making hits really like the first two times off the bat. I mean, like hit me with the Addy and like My Time, you know, which were two big songs for me, you know, in the beginning. And so those were like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, I was kind of already knew where I was going, but like being able to like fully develop my sound with like a real engineer in a real studio, you know what I mean, is what helped me get to where I'm at now as far as like artistry and sound, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think I saw that back in like the 80s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. For most people, hopefully, you know, but some people don't like that, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That just kind of occurred to me in my head. I was in high school though and his shits were like on the radio all the time. That's what I'm saying, he was hot for a while. Yea, like there's a lot of artists that are, that were out that were like really like in their peak or not in their peak or whatever but like popping, you know what I mean, at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably influence what I do, but I couldn't say like, this person, this person, cause it's like, I listen to everyone. The way I consume music isn't like, I go out and like, look for like, I listen, hear what my homies put me onto, or like, what I hear on the radio, or like, what I hear like, through like, popping blogs, this side of the other thing, you know what I mean? You check blogs out? I mean, not really, you know what I'm talking about, like shit on Twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, basically, like, both my parents did drugs since before I was born, so like, they didn't have their shit together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a year, maybe a year and a half, like when I was like five or six, I tried living with my mom. But like, it just didn't work out. It was just drama, bad shit, you know. She ended up back on drugs, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My grandpa passed away? I mean, being strong mostly for like, at the time, my grandma, you know what I mean? Like she was down, like I was the only one in the house. She quit working for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was still doing my shit going to school, you know what I mean? Handling my shit, not fucking up, you know? I could've easily just fucked my life up and been like, oh, I ain't gonna be shit. Like, I'll be just like my parents do drugs, you know? And I don't do drugs, like that's why I don't fuck with that shit, cause I don't need to, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My grandma's a nurse, so she works like 12 hour shifts. So like, most of the time when she works, she'd be gone, you know? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I grew up with my homies basically, you know what I mean? Like, the shit I would be doing, like the hobbies I would be doing. I started smoking weed young, like sixth grade, like a year after. Sixth grade. Little while after my grandpa died.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I probably would be smoking tough with him now. If he was still here, we would be getting stoned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably when like, I don't know, like I still feel like damn I'm poppin', like really? Like I don't know. I mean like, I guess my rock with us hitting the radio and like different things like on YouTube hitting a million views is like, you know, you're like damn shit's moving, but like I don't know, it's like oh I'm poppin'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first, 7-1 Forever was just on Soundcloud, you know, there's like a couple blogs supporting it. We did like the Rock With Us video on Elevator. And uhm, really the shit just started moving, like thank god, like shit just like randomly started, you know? I couldn't say like, oh we did this or did that to make it go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, now the generation of shit is crazy. There's little kids out here going way harder than me and some of my homies. It's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have like a really wide, huge demographic of fans, which is awesome. A lot of people I feel like can relate to my music. And like that's crazy to me. Like so many different people can relate to it and fuck with it so heavy, you know? A lot of people get stuck in certain, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was crazy in there. I was crowd surfing on the orange peel. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good, that's a good moment when it was like damn this shit is real. Right. You know what I mean? When you come out and they're singing your shit and it's like all the camera lights you're like damn, shit is really movie right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because people like say like, oh I fuck with you, like you know, like maybe on the internet or like through someone else and it's like, oh like let's, you know, like put a face to the name, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean like, I would like to say a lot of people that I, or like everyone that I work with, I have like a real relationship with, you know what I mean? I don't like to work with people usually just to like work with someone, you know? It's usually like a friendship type thing, or like they fuck with me or I fuck with them, you know what I mean? It's like a mutual thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Off the top type shit, you know? I was like, damn, that's hard. But he had a good, he had a good pick. No good was a wave, you know? He had a good ear for what song to pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like, uh, or like a week or two, like two weeks maybe after we actually did the song, you know? Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like a lot of, that's, I guess just like the good positive vibe, you know? So that's just what it depicted for those songs, but definitely gonna get more diverse in things that I do, like just depends on the song, you know what I mean? But for me, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Azen and H2IL won most of their contests with the other East Coast elites, Deadly Alliance and Team Ben.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, the newly minted champion of the west coast had just met a player who would forever change the face of Smash. And he didn't even play the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knocked into Loser's Bracket, Azn again fought a Sheik Ditto, this time against Isaiah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a 1-2 punch, Azen was knocked out of the top three, and out of the money. It seemed, even without their top player, the west coast was indeed the best coast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But something about the tournament didn't sit well with the boys from the East, and they made it known that in their eyes, the victory was a complete and utter farce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the days before YouTube, Mike and the Punch Crew were one of the only video options in town, and they shared a sophisticated commentary on the game itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A native couldn't help but attract attention. He used the wildest most unwieldy character in the game. But unlike everyone else who tried, Isaiah made him look good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In winner's finals, Azen was waiting for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The question remained, Japan or America? For some, the issue was already settled, but with TG-6 around the corner, Matt Deesey saw an opportunity.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm kinda nervous, bro. Paruko said the Mirage card held an incredible ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Esme told me to do whatever I had to in order to stay. He shook his head indulgently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All that next day I eavesdropped on the minds of everyone you spoke to. Shocked that you kept your word. I didn't understand you at all. But I knew that I couldn't become more involved with you. I did my very best to stay as far from you as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd have fared better if I had exposed us all at that first moment. Than if now, here, with no witnesses and nothing to stop me, I were to hurt you. I was human enough to have to ask, why? Isabella. He pronounced my full name carefully, then playfully ruffled my hair with his free hand. A shock ran through my body at his casual touch. Bella.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't live with myself if I ever hurt you. You don't know how it's tortured me. He looked down, ashamed again. The thought of you, still, white, cold, to never see you blush scarlet again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To never see that flash of intuition in your eyes when you see through my pretenses, it would be unendurable. He lifted his glorious, agonized eyes to mine. You are the most important thing to me now, the most important thing to me ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My head was spinning at the rapid change in direction our conversation had taken. From the cheerful topic of my impending demise, we were suddenly declaring ourselves. He waited, and even though I looked down to study our hands between us, I knew his golden eyes were on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You already know how I feel, of course, I finally said. I'm here, which roughly translated means, I would rather die than stay away from you. I frowned, I'm an idiot. You are an idiot, he agreed with a laugh. Our eyes met and I laughed too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so the lion fell in love with the lamb, he murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word. What a stupid lamb, I sighed. What a sick masochistic lion. He stared into the shadowy forest for a long moment, and I wondered where his thoughts had taken him. Why, I began, and then paused, not sure how to continue. He looked at me and smiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sunlight glinted off his face, his teeth. Yes? Tell me why you ran from me before. His smile faded. You know why. No, I mean, exactly what did I do wrong? I'll have to be on my guard, you see, so I better start learning what I shouldn't do. This, for example, I stroke the back of his hand, seems to be all right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I wanna help if I can to not make this harder for you. Well, he contemplated for a moment. It was just how close you were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huh? Oh, Chi-Chi, stop that! You're scaring me!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Search for Baby Shark Brooklyn on YouTube!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edward in the sunlight was shocking. I couldn't get used to it, though I'd been staring at him all afternoon. His skin, white despite the faint flush from yesterday's hunting trip, literally sparkled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like thousands of tiny diamonds were embedded in the surface. He lay perfectly still in the grass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His shirt open over his sculpted incandescent chest, his scintillating arms bare. His glistening pale lavender lids were shut, though of course he didn't sleep. A perfect statue carved in some unknown stone, smooth like marble, glittering like crystal. Now and then his lips would move so fast it looked like they were trembling. But when I asked, he told me he was singing to himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I enjoyed the sun too, though the air wasn't quite dry enough for my taste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would have liked to lie back as he did and let the sun warm my face, but I stayed curled up, my chin resting on my knees, unwilling to take my eyes off him. The wind was gentle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It tangled my hair and ruffled the grass that swayed around his motionless form. The meadow, so spectacular to me at first, paled next to his magnificence. Hesitantly, always afraid, even now, that he would disappear like a mirage. Too beautiful to be real. Hesitantly, I reached out one finger and stroked the back of his shimmering hand where it lay within my reach. I marveled again at the perfect texture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Satin smooth, cool as stone. When I looked up again, his eyes were open, watching me. Butterscotch today. Lighter. Warmer after hunting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His quick smile turned up the corners of his flawless lips. I don't scare you, he asked playfully, but I could hear the real curiosity in his soft voice. No more than usual. He smiled wider, his teeth flashed in the sun. I inched closer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stretched out my whole hand now to trace the contours of his forearm with my fingertips. I saw that my fingers trembled and knew it wouldn't escape his notice. Do you mind? I asked, for he had closed his eyes again. No, he said without opening his eyes. You can't imagine how that feels, he sighed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I lightly trailed my hand over the perfect muscles of his arm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Followed the faint pattern of bluish veins inside the crease at his elbow. With my other hand, I reached to turn his hand over, realizing what I wished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turning it this way and that as I watched the sun glitter on his palm. I held it closer to my face, trying to see the hidden facets in his skin. Tell me what you're thinking, he whispered. I looked to see his eyes watching me, suddenly intent. It's still so strange for me not knowing. You know, the rest of us feel that way all the time. It's a hard life. Did I imagine the hint of regret in his tone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you didn't tell me. I was wishing I could know what you were thinking. I hesitated. And? I was wishing that I could believe that you were real. And I was wishing that I wasn't afraid. I don't want you to be afraid. His voice was just a soft murmur. I heard what he couldn't truthfully say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I didn't need to be afraid, that there was nothing to fear. Well that's not exactly the fear I meant, though that's certainly something to think about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It should have flinched away from his unexpected closeness, but I was unable to move. His golden eyes mesmerized me. What are you afraid of then? He whispered intently, but I couldn't answer. As I had just that once before, I smelled his cool breath in my face. Sweet, delicious. The scent made my mouth water. It was unlike anything else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it seems like a simple way. Not simple, insane. You are head of pounds with limited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I'm G. Bush and of course, I'm gonna tell you why. Just calm down a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gon' see why the Cleveland Browns is gon' be bonafide, grade A, exciting and elite on all fronts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He understands the game. He understands the mind game. He's to understand what he gotta say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That means that's your guy. Right. So I like what Nick Chubb did right there, but he said, but don't get it twisted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This new dude we got in here, he see what the talent look like. And I'll go a step further, I'll say this, I think Nick Chubb not only is the most dependable, he's one of the best teammates, he's probably one of the rocks on offense. I'd argue that Nick Chubb has been the best player on the Cleveland Browns for the last few years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This might be kind of sore. You would have got the 14. 14 is a big number.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's more than what I thought the Browns were going to pay. I mean, 14, I think they want to do somewhere between 8. They might look to 8 to 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to go to 14. I think they'd be thrilled if they could get that now. Right now, the longer it goes, I'm wondering how much of that number changes. So they wanted back then 13 to 14. As the season goes on, nobody gets hurt. What if, what if you get to, you know, the third preseason game and he's still there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it would be like that guy's done for like the year. So now you looking at a position where the Browns might have to eat that 18 and if you, and if you got him on the roster at some point and I'm not even a bigger huge Baker proponent, but I will say this. I'm for the player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if Baker gets to a point where he on the roster, he just sitting there, and this regular season is coming, I would have to do a Mo Salah and be like, you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard to see what the Browns actually think about Baker's skillset because they got Deshaun Watson. Deshaun Watson's skillset is so much higher than Baker's, it's like, okay, we don't even talk about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't know what the difference in their mind is between Jacoby Brissett and Baker Mayfield. We don't know. We don't know. Maybe they think Jacoby is comparable. Maybe they think Baker is a is an overall just he's just killing Jacoby Brissett. Okay. And then here's the thing. If you did bring him back in that scenario where the Sean Watson got hurt, got injured, you know, the great thing about it is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, Baker wouldn't look over his shoulder because Deshaun Watson is not playing. He can't. So that, and this is last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a black man, you know, you just gotta...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The black community is, is, they, they really are protective of LeBron James, uhm, because he's, he's one of their own, and he is doing things in his own community. See, a lot of people don't understand when he say, I'm from Akron, I'm not from Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not a slight. He didn't get that. He just saying that's what, if I say, if people ask me where I'm from, I'm from Canton. I'm not, but I live in Cleveland. But people think it's all one thing. He's like, no, no, you gotta go to the community and see when that ground level, it's levels to this thing. And one of the things that we always talk about is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we do a lot of stuff about social change and social issues and the first thing that they say is, you know, black men aren't in the household.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People give that as a reason why you got poverty rates or crime or, or violence or, or academic issues. Cause black men aren't in the home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this dude, not only is a black man, he's been, he married his wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had three kids. He take care of all of them. And a terrific father. And on top of that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ain't never been out. He ain't been in no scandals. He's in the building. He's there with his kids. He's parenting. And not only does he do that, he does that to the community because he understands where he comes from. So from my standpoint,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really hard to heal. He has now done it in a way where he's an example of that's how you do it if you want to do it. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, look, man, like you said, when you talking about this talent level,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It ain't like you can imagine where the people in their roster, they just playing, oh, there's no slump right now. No, that's you. Like, you ever see somebody who's like, oh, you're big. No, no, no. You haven't been eating the last couple of days. You've been eating for a while. This is nothing new. These hidden, like, you got one stick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That somebody is scared of and what the Indians usually have is pictures to hang their hat on where it kind of mask a lot of things. You like, well, they get great outing six, seven meetings up from so-and-so and no, no, no. Now you were at a point where you at this, this dangerous part of the schedule, the dangerous part of the game where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People was kind of tuning out. It's kind of being like, okay, well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're below average right now. When you're 18 and 23, you're below average. People not checking for them. And, and that's the problem I have. Where, where do you see, how do you, how do they go? Is there anybody they, they, they have right now that says, if we could get that guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this a five, you know, they used to sell us on the five, three to five. We, every three to five, we got to tear it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many years is it before? It depends. What's the payroll going to be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got PPP loans. They should sign up for some of them, dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cleveland sports to me is bigger than anything. It's bigger than some people's marriages. They say the Dallas Cowboys are America's team. No, no, no, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he had most of them stats in LA, with no training camp, with no all season, don't know Matt Stafford for nobody. With a terrific quarterback. And he came out here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It didn't help his cause here. But here's the thing about it. It sunk this ship. You know what? Sometimes I tell people and this is what made it look crazy. And I don't know whoever in the media came up with this. Y'all are great for this. Okay, you know, oh damn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, sometimes Baker just sees Odell as such a big star that he, he feels the need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We going right to it. You don't even get no breaks. We right off into this thing. Now, did you have an issue with with Odell Beckham and the tape with his father put out? We'll start with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, De'Quel, when I, when I, you know, I ain't play at the level y'all play at, but when I was playing defense, I would, I would look at people at offense and be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And two, three receivers. You got motion. I got to worry about all this other stuff in front of me and everything is open. My question to you is why would, you know, Stefanski loves certain personnel. Why is it? Do you think coaches?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they would have a receiver like Odell Beckham Jr., instead of really featuring them, they stick to the tight end thing. Is it because that's just their identity or is it just a lack of confidence in what that person can do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just sayin', out loud, infamously, you know, uh, Miles Garrett can't do swim moves. I said...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You like, okay, well listen, I need to go get me a car. You go over to one of the local car lots and they say, well, you don't ask them about that one over there. They tell you what you can afford, right? This is what the bank going to give you. And so you may look at it and say, well, that interest rate at 27% kind of high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Uh, if you gonna give it to me and I can take it home, I gotta get to work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I got to rephrase it a little bit now. So by the way, you guys can get in and on comment section on this. This is a shop talk conversation. This is, this is what guys talk about in a barbershop. And so this question, it goes to all the panel. I'll start off with you, Mr. Jackson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much, we all know that we, when you in a committed relationship, you all know when you get married, there's certain, uh, there's certain restraints on you. Expectations? I'm gonna ask this question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, what you mean unusual? Somebody, somebody went to, you know, eBay and bought some stuff. She's like, no, it's $3. It said you took it out of a foreign ATM. $3? I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, listen, that led to the divorce. I said, there was a, there's, there's a couple of things that we're not going to talk about. One is taxes. I got to play them to being black because I'm always going to stay black. I have no choice. I came to the Michael Jackson and three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And three, I'm not talking about four ATM charges. Like yo, like I'm one of the people that should be swiping on accident. If I'm only buying food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's gas. I'll go to the gas station and get gas and be like, well, I saw this. I saw that. I just got all. I come back with a big bag of stuff. I said, but I ain't buying nothing crazy. My limit. My limit now is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a conversation. Like if it's, if it's payments involved, like yeah, we're going to say that's fair. That's fair. You ain't no sign at all. You're like it'd be cost you to finance it. If you ain't got it on deck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is controversial, but I'm going to say this, uh, Deshaun Watson is cool. You know why Deshaun Watson is cool is, uh, you saw it the other day, De'Quel, he's handing out rollies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, now, now, now as a linebacker, what do you think about the asking price? I felt like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was, that was big time. I'd have gave, would you have gave the 52 up for a rollie? Oh, oh yeah, absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let's, let's see what the internet is saying about this stuff. Uh, uh, Warren Ashes, King Griffey caught on the Mariners after he had to come back, get in his car, went home during the season. What a bozo. All right, guess we don't got no King Griffey G people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, let's see, meet Colton Fairfalsett for Joe, uh, Joe Neyman. I don't know what that really means. That's how cool he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A very famous picture. Somebody says, can you imagine, can you imagine having a conversation with Cooper or Chubb? Crickets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite Cleveland sports moment would have to be the Kyrie Irving 2016 shot. It's the only time that I've ever cried over any sport event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, listen man, we talk about all kinds of negative stuff and sometimes we get into the sports and we get into the Browns and people talk about the, the suspensions and all that good stuff when you train Baker. But I just want to give people a little confidence and then give them a little, a little pick me up. Listen, all that stuff is cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when these dudes get to rolling at the first part of the season, the Cleveland Browns are going to be dangerous. Listen to what I'm saying, dangerous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deshaun Watson is out here. Everybody that go out there that have been covering the team for years. From all your top reporters, Mary Kay and all, everybody who got a pen and paper saying it's levels to this thing. Deshaun Watson is showing that. Nick Chubb is out here looking great. Kareem Hunt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, I did say you might be on the chopping block, you know, you know, I was just lying to myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's looking great. And Amari Cooper, by the way, don't, don't let my previous comments about Odell Beckham Jr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's going to be the funnest year. You're going to watch Brown's games and you're going to call old people that you've never talked to, high school people, because you're so happy after the game. Yea, Chuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, you see them dog on browns? Man, I'll tell you what, man, that Deshaun Watson, and you gotta say his real name right, that Deshaun Watson, boy, I'll tell you, boy. Yeah, boy, he pulled through a 5,500 yards, man, but he, hey, Super Bowl, Super Bowl, look, oh, uh, sorry, Chuck, I gotta go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the people in this industry might want to keep some secret with them. It's quite a bit difficult to get information from them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a messenger for her. If that's all, I'll be right back after the last show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here's a last minute bulletin. The state supreme court has sustained the sentence of Kirk Bennett, convicted for the murder of Mavis Marlowe. He moves to the death house today. This is George Mitchell from Hollywood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say uhm, who's the doll with Marco? Miss Carver, my partner.

[Assistant] The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was reclining in a canebacked chair at the moment


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my protruded feet had attracted his ever active attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] English, I answered in some surprise, I got them at Latimer's in Oxford Street. Holmes smiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With an expression of weary patience. The bath, he said. The bath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why the relaxing and expensive Turkish rather than the invigorating homemade article?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because for the last few days I have been feeling... ...Rheumatic and old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A Turkish bath is what we call an alternative in medicine, a fresh starting point, a cleanser of the system. By the way, Holmes, I added.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no doubt the connection between my boots and a Turkish bath


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] is a perfectly self-evident one to the logical mind


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yet I should be obliged to you if you would indicate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The train of reasoning is not very obscure, Watson, said Holmes with a mischievous twinkle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It belongs to the same elementary class of deduction, which I should illustrate if I were to ask you who shared your cab in your drive this morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't admit that a fresh illustration is an explanation, said I, with some asperity. Bravo, Watson, a very dignified and logical remonstrance. Let me see, what were the points? Take the last one first, the cab. You observe that you have some splashes on the left sleeve and shoulder of your coat, had you sat in the centre of a handsome


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would probably have had no splashes and if you had...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would certainly have been symmetrical, therefore it is clear that you sat at the side, therefore it is equally clear that you had a companion. That is very evident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absurdly commonplace is it not, but the boots and the bath equally childish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are in the habit of doing up your boots in a certain way. I see them on this occasion fastened with an elaborate double bow, which is not your usual method of tying them. You have therefore had them off. Who has tied them? A bootmaker? Or the boy at the bath?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is unlikely that it is the bootmaker since your boots are nearly new. Well, what remains the bath? Absurd, is it not? But for all that, the Turkish bath has served a purpose. What is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You say that you have had it because you need a change. Let me suggest that you take one. How would Lausanne do, my dear Watson? First-class tickets and all expenses paid on a princely scale? Splendid! But why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holmes leaned back in his armchair and took his notebook from his pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the most dangerous classes in the world, said he.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She has sufficient means to take her from country to country and from hotel to hotel. She is lost as often as not in a maze of obscure pensions and boarding houses. She is a stray chicken in a world of foxes. When she is gobbled up, she is hardly missed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I much fear that some evil has come to the Lady Frances Carfax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the sole survivor of the direct family of the late Earl of Rufton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The estates went, as you may remember, in the male line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was left with limited means, but with some very remarkable old Spanish jewellery of silver and curiously cut diamonds to which she was fondly attached. Too attached!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For she refused to leave it with her banker and always carried it about with her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A rather pathetic figure, the Lady Frances.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A beautiful woman, still in fresh middle age, and yet by a strange chance,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last derelict of what only twenty years ago was a goodly fleet. What has happened to her then? Ah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What has happened to the Lady Francis? Is she alive or dead? There is our problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is a lady of precise habits, and for four years it has been her invariable custom to write every second week to Miss Dobny, her old governess, who has long retired and lives in Camberwell. It is this Miss Dobny who has consulted me. Nearly five weeks have passed without a word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last letter was from the Hotel Nacional at Lausanne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lady Frances seems to have left there and given no address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The family are anxious, and as they are exceedingly wealthy no sum will be spared if we can clear the matter up. Is Miss Dobney the only source of information? Surely she had other correspondence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is one correspondent who is a sure draw, Watson. That is the bank. Single ladies must live, and their passbooks are compressed diaries. She banks at Sylvester's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last cheque but one paid her bill at Lausanne, but it was a large one, and probably left her with cash in hand. Only one cheque has been drawn since. To whom and where? To Miss Marie Devigne. There is nothing to show where the cheque was drawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was cashed at the Crédit Lyonnais at Montpellier. Less than three weeks ago, the sum was £50. And who is Miss Marie Devigne?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That also I have been able to discover Miss Marie Devigne was the maid of Lady Frances Carfax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why she should have paid her this cheque we have not yet determined.

[Assistant] I have no doubt however that your researches will soon clear the matter up. My researches?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know that I cannot possibly leave London while old Abrahams is in such mortal terror of his life. Besides,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On general principles, it is best that I should not leave the country. Scotland Yard feels lonely without me. And it causes an unhealthy excitement among the criminal classes. Go then, my dear Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if my humble counsel can ever be valued at so extravagant a rate as tuppence a word,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It waits your disposal night and day at the end of the continental wire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two days later found me at the National Hotel at Lausanne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the heavy trunk in the lady's bedroom was always scrupulously locked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marie de Vigne, the maid, was as popular as her mistress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was actually engaged to one of the head waiters in the hotel, and there was no difficulty in getting her address. It was 2 Rue de Trajan, Montpellier. All this I jotted down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And felt that Holmes himself could not have been more adroit in collecting his facts. Only one corner still remained in the shadow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No light, which I possessed, could clear up the cause for the lady's sudden departure. She was very happy at Lausanne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was every reason to believe that she intended to remain for the season in her luxurious rooms overlooking the lake. And yet she had left at a single day's notice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which involved her in the useless payment of a week's rent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only Jules Vibard, the lover of the maid, had any suggestion to offer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He connected the sudden departure with the visit to the hotel a day or two before of a tall, dark, bearded man. Un sauvage, un véritable sauvage, cried Jules Vibard. The man had rooms somewhere in the town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jules Vibard and, what was of more importance, Jules Vibard's sweetheart,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thought that this call and this departure were cause and effect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only one thing Jules could not discuss, that was the reason why Marie had left her mistress. Of that he could, or would, say nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I wish to know, I must go to Montpellier and ask her. So ended the first chapter of my inquiry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second was devoted to the place which Lady Frances Carfax had sought when she left Lausanne. Concerning this, there had been some secrecy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which confirmed the idea that she had gone with the intention of throwing someone off her track. Otherwise why should not her luggage have been openly labelled for Barton?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both she and it reached the Wrenish Spa by some circuitous route.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus much I gathered from the manager of Cook's local office. So to Barden I went.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After dispatching to Holmes an account of all my proceedings and receiving in reply a telegram of half-humorous commendation. At Barden the track was not difficult to follow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lady Francis had stayed at the Englischer Hof for a fortnight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whilst there she had made the acquaintance of a Doctor Schlesinger and his wife, a missionary from South Africa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like most lonely ladies, Lady Frances found her comfort and occupation in religion. Dr Schlesinger's remarkable personality, his wholehearted devotion,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the fact that he was recovering from a disease contracted in the exercise of his apostolic duties affected her deeply


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had helped Mrs Schlesinger in the nursing of the convalescent saint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He spent his day, as the manager described it to me, upon a lounge chair on the veranda, with an attendant lady upon either side of him. He was preparing a map of the Holy Land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With special reference to the Kingdom of the Midianites upon which he was writing a monograph. Finally, having improved much in health, he and his wife had returned to London.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Lady Francis had started dither in their company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was just three weeks before, and the manager had heard nothing since, as to the maid Marie


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had gone off some days beforehand in floods of tears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After informing the other maids that she was leaving service forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dr Schlesinger had paid the bill of the whole party before his departure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, said the landlord in conclusion, you are not the only friend of Lady Frances Carfax who is inquiring after her just now only a week or so ago. We had a man here upon the same errand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did he give a name, I asked? None, but he was an Englishman, though of an unusual type.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A savage, said I, linking my facts after the fashion of my illustrious friend, exactly that describes him very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's a bulky, bearded, sunburned fellow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who looks as if he would be more at home in a farmer's inn than in a fashionable hotel, a hard, fierce man, I should think, and one whom I should be sorry to offend. Already the mystery began to define itself, as figures grow clearer with the lifting of a fog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here was this good and pious lady pursued from place to place by a sinister and unrelenting figure. She feared him, or she would not have fled from Lausanne. He had still followed. Sooner or later he would overtake her. Had he already overtaken her?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was that the secret of her continued silence?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could the good people who were her companions not screen her from his violence or his blackmail? What horrible purpose, what deep design lay behind this long pursuit? There was the problem which I had to solve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To homes I wrote, showing how rapidly and surely I had got down to the roots of the matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In reply, I had a telegram asking for a description of Dr Schlesinger's left ear. Holmes' ideas of humour are strange and occasionally offensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I took no notice of his ill-timed jest. Indeed, I had already reached Montpellier in my pursuit of the maid Marie before his message came. I had no difficulty in finding the ex-servant, and in learning all that she could tell me. She was a devoted creature


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who had only left her mistress because she was sure that she was in good hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And because her own approaching marriage made a separation inevitable in any case. Her mistress had, as she confessed with distress,
