[Assistant] As I drove I could see old John Ferrier and sweet Lucy looking at me out of the darkness and smiling at me, just as plain as I see you all in this room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the way they were ahead of me, one on each side of the horse, until I pulled up at the house in Brixton Road. There was not a soul to be seen, nor a sound to be heard, except the dripping of the rain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I looked in at the window I found Drebber all huddled together in a drunken sleep. I shook him by the arm. It's time to get out, I said. All right, Cabby, said he.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose he thought we had come to the hotel that he had mentioned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For he got out without another word and followed me down the garden. I had to walk beside him to keep him steady, for he was still a little top heavy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we came to the door I opened it and led him into the front room. I give you my word that all the way the father and the daughter were walking in front of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's infernally dark, said he, stamping about. We'll soon have a light, I said, striking a match and putting it to a wax candle which I'd brought with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, Enoch Drebber, I continued, turning to him and holding the light to my own face. Who am I?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gazed at me with bleared, drunken eyes for a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I saw the horror spring up in them and convulse his whole features which showed me that he knew me. He staggered back with a livid face and I saw the perspiration break out upon his brow while his teeth chattered in his head. At the sight


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I leaned my back against the door and laughed loud and long. I'd always known that vengeance would be sweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have hunted you from Salt Lake City to St. Petersburg, and you have always escaped me. Now at last your wanderings have come to an end, for either you or I shall never see tomorrow's sun rise. He shrunk still farther away as I spoke, and I could see on his face that he thought I was mad. So I was for the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pulses in my temples beat like sledgehammers, and I believe I would have had a fit of some sort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the blood had not gushed from my nose and relieved me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you think of Lucy Ferrier now?" I cried, locking the door and shaking the key in his face. Punishment has been slow in coming, but it has overtaken you at last. I saw his coward lips tremble as I spoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no murder, I answered. Who talks of murdering a mad dog? What mercy had you upon my poor darling when you dragged her from her slaughtered father


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bore her away to your accursed and shameless harem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not I who killed her father, he cried, but it was you who broke her innocent heart, I shrieked, thrusting the box before him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let the high god judge between us, choose and eat. There is death in one and life in the other. I shall take what you leave. Let us see if there is justice upon the earth, or if we are ruled by chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He cowered away with wild cries and prayers for mercy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shall I ever forget the look which came over his face when the first warning pangs told that the poison was in his system?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I laughed as I saw it and held loose his marriage ring in front of his eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was but for a moment, for the action of the alkaloid is rapid. A spasm of pain contorted his features. He threw his hands out in front of him, staggered, and then, with a hoarse cry, fell heavily upon the floor. I turned him over with my foot and placed my hand upon his heart. There was no movement. He was dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The blood had been streaming from my nose but I had taken no notice of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what it was that put it into my head to ride upon the wall with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps it was some mischievous idea of setting the police upon the wrong track, for I felt light-hearted and cheerful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remembered a German being found in New York with Rack written above him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was argued at the time in the newspapers that the secret societies must have done it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess that what puzzled the New Yorkers would puzzle the Londoners. So I dipped my finger in my own blood and printed it on a convenient place on the wall. Then I walked down to my cab and found that there was nobody about and that the night was still very wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had driven some distance when I put my hand into the pocket in which I usually kept Lucy's ring and found that it was not there. I was thunderstruck at this, for it was the only memento that I had of her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thinking that I might have dropped it when I stooped over Drebber's body I drove back, and leaving my cab in a side street, I went boldly up to the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was ready to dare anything rather than lose the ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I arrived there I walked right into the arms of a police officer who was coming out


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And only managed to disarm his suspicions by pretending to be hopelessly drunk. That was how Enoch Drebber came to his end. All I had to do then was do as much for Stangison. And so pay off John Ferrier's debt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew that he was staying at Halliday's private hotel and I hung about all day, but he never came out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fancy that he suspected something when Drebber failed to put in an appearance. He was cunning with Stangerson, and always on his guard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he thought he could keep me off by staying indoors he was very much mistaken. I soon found out which was the window of his bedroom


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And early next morning I took advantage of some of the ladders which were lying in the lane behind the hotel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so made my way into his room in the grey of the dawn. I woke him up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I gave him the same choice of the poisoned pills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of grasping at the chance of safety which that offered him, he sprang from his bed and flew at my throat, and self-defense I stabbed him to the heart. It would have been the same in any case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Providence would never have allowed his guilty hand to pick out anything but the poison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Intending to keep at it until I could save enough to take me back to America. I was standing in the yard


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When a ragged youngster asked if there was a cabbie called Jefferson Hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the next thing I knew this young man here had the bracelets on my wrists and as neatly shackled as ever I saw in my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the whole of my story, gentlemen. You may consider me to be a murderer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I hold that I am just as much an officer of justice as you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So thrilling had the man's narrative been, and his manner was so impressive that we had sat silent and absorbed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We sat for some minutes in a stillness which was only broken by the scratching of Lestrade's pencil as he gave the finishing touches to his shorthand account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is only one point on which I should like a little more information," Sherlock Holmes said at last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw your advertisement and I thought it might be a plant, or it might be the ring which I wanted. My friend volunteered to go and see. I think you're alone. He did it smartly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a doubt of that, said Holmes heartily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now gentlemen," the inspector remarked gravely, the forms of the law must be complied with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Thursday the prisoner will be brought before the magistrates, and your attendance will be required. Until then I will be responsible for him. He rang the bell as he spoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Jefferson Hope was led off by a couple of warders, while my friend and I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Made our way out of the station and took a cab back to Baker Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had all been warned to appear before the magistrates upon the Thursday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when the Thursday came there was no occasion for our testimony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The higher judge had taken the matter before a tribunal, where strict justice would be meted out to him. On the very night after his capture, the aneurysm burst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was found in the morning, stretched upon the floor of the cell, with a placid smile upon his face, as though he had been able, in his dying moments, to look back upon a useful life and on work well done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grixxon and Lestrade will be wild about his death, Holmes remarked as we chatted it over next evening. What will their grand advertisement be now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't see that they had very much to do with his capture, I answered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence, returned my companion bitterly. The question is, what can you make people believe that you have done?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never mind," he continued more brightly after a pause, I would not have missed the investigation for anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There has been no better case within my recollection. Simple as it was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were several most instructive points about it. Simple, I ejaculated. Well, really, it can hardly be described as otherwise, said Sherlock Holmes, smiling at my surprise. The proof of its intrinsic simplicity is that without any help


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Save a few very ordinary deductions, I was able to lay my hands upon the criminal within three days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is true, said I. I have already explained to you that what is out of the common is usually a guide rather than a hindrance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In solving a problem of this sort the grand thing is to be able to reason backwards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a very useful accomplishment and a very easy one, but people do not practice it much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the everyday affairs of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so the other comes to be neglected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are fifty who can reason synthetically, for one who can reason analytically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I confess, said I, that I do not quite follow you. I hardly expected that you would. Let me see if I can make it clearer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most people, if you describe a train of events to them, will tell you what the result would be. They can put those events together in their minds and argue from them that something will come to pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are a few people however who, if you told them a result,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] would be able to evolve from their own inner consciousness


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the steps were which led up to that result.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This power is what I mean when I talk of reasoning backwards or analytically. I understand, said I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this was a case in which you were given the result and had to find everything else for yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, let me endeavor to show you the different steps in my reasoning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To begin at the beginning, I approached the house, as you know, on foot, and with my mind entirely free from all impressions,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I naturally began by examining the roadway, and there, as I have already explained to you, I saw clearly the marks of a cab, which, I ascertained by inquiry, must have been there during the night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I satisfied myself that it was a cab and not a private carriage by the narrow gauge of the wheels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ordinary London growler is considerably less wide than a gentleman's broom. This was the first point gained.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I then walked slowly down the garden path which happened to be composed of a clay soil peculiarly suitable for taking impressions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No doubt it appeared to you to be a mere trampled line of slush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to my trained eyes every mark upon its surface had a meaning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no branch of detective science which is so important and so much neglected as the art of tracing footsteps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Happily I have always laid great stress upon it, and much practice has made it second nature to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw the heavy footmarks of the constable, but I saw also the track of the two men who had first passed through the garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was easy to tell that they had been before the others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because in places their marks had been entirely obliterated by the others coming upon the top of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this way my second link was formed, which told me that the nocturnal visitors were two in number, one remarkable for his height, as I calculated from the length of his stride, and the other fashionably dressed, to judge from the small and elegant impression left by his boots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On entering the house this last inference was confirmed. My well-booted man lay before me. The tall one then had done the murder, if murder there was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no wound upon the dead man's person, but the agitated expression upon his face assured me that he had foreseen his fate before it came upon him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Men who die from heart disease or any sudden natural cause never by any chance exhibit agitation upon their features.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having sniffed the dead man's lips, I detected a slightly sour smell and I came to the conclusion that he had had poison forced upon him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again I argued that it had been forced upon him from the hatred and fear expressed upon his face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the method of exclusion I had arrived at this result, for no other hypothesis would meet the facts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do not imagine that it was a very unheard of idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The forcible administration of poisons is by no means a new thing in criminal annals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cases of Dolsky in Odessa and of Leturier in Montpellier will occur at once to any toxicologist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now came the great question as to the reason why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Robbery had not been the object of the murder for nothing was taken. Was it politics then? Or was it a woman? That was the question which confronted me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was inclined from the first to the latter supposition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Political assassins are only too glad to do their work and fly. This murder had, on the contrary, been done most deliberately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the perpetrator had left his tracks all over the room, showing that he had been there all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It must have been a private wrong and not a political one which called for such a methodical revenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the inscription was discovered upon the wall, I was more inclined than ever to my opinion. The thing was too evidently a blind


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the ring was found, however, it settled the question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clearly the murderer had used it to remind his victim of some dead or absent woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was at this point that I asked Gregson whether he had inquired in his telegram to Cleveland as to any particular point in Mr. Drebber's former career. He answered, you remember, in the negative. I then proceeded to make a careful examination of the room


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which confirmed me in my opinion as to the murderous height.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And furnished me with the additional details as to the Trichinopoly cigar and the length of his nails.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had already come to the conclusion since there were no signs of a struggle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the blood which covered the floor had burst from the murderer's nose in his excitement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could perceive that the track of blood coincided with the track of his feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is seldom that any man, unless he is very full-blooded, breaks out in this way through emotion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I hazarded the opinion that the criminal was probably a robust and ruddy-faced man. Events proved that I had judged correctly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having left the house, I proceeded to do what Gregson had neglected. I telegraphed to the head of the police at Cleveland, limiting my inquiry to the circumstances connected with the marriage of Enoch Drebber. The answer was conclusive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It told me that Drebber had already applied for the protection of the law against an old rival in love named Jefferson Hope, and that this same hope was at present in Europe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew now that I held the clue to the mystery in my hand, and all that remained was to secure the murderer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had already determined in my own mind that the man who had walked into the house with Drebber was none other than the man who had driven the cab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The marks on the road showed me that the horse had wandered on in a way which would have been impossible had there been anyone in charge of it. Where then could the driver be, unless he were inside the house?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again it is absurd to suppose that any sane man would carry out a deliberate crime under the very eyes, as it were, of a third person, who was sure to betray him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lastly, supposing one man wished to dog another through London, what better means could he adopt than to turn cab-driver?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All these considerations led me to the irresistible conclusion that Jefferson hoped was to be found among the Jarvis of the metropolis. If he had been one, there was no reason to believe that he had ceased to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the contrary, from his point of view any sudden change would be likely to draw attention to himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would probably, for a time at least, continue to perform his duties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no reason to suppose that he was going under an assumed name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why should he change his name in a country where no one knew his original one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I therefore organised my Street Arab Detective Corps and sent them systematically to every cab proprietor in London until they ferreted out the man that I wanted. How well they succeeded


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how quickly I took advantage of it are still fresh in your recollection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The murder of Stangerson was an incident which was entirely unexpected, but which could hardly in any case have been prevented.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through it, as you know, I came into possession of the pills, the existence of which I had already surmised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, the whole thing is a chain of logical sequences without a break or flaw. It is wonderful, I cried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your merits should be publicly recognized. You should publish an account of the case. If you won't, I will for you. You may do what you like, Doctor," he answered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See here, he continued, handing a paper over to me. Look at this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the echo for the day, and the paragraph to which he pointed was devoted to the case in question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The public, it said, have lost a sensational treat through the sudden death of the man hoped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The details of the case will probably be never known now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though we are informed upon good authority that the crime was the result of an old standing and romantic feud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In which love and Mormonism bore a part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems that both the victims belonged, in their younger days, to the latter-day saints and hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The deceased prisoner hails also from Salt Lake City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the case has had no other effect, it at least brings out in the most striking manner the efficiency of our detective police force.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And will serve as a lesson to all foreigners that they will do wisely to settle their feuds at home, and not to carry them onto British soil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is an open secret that the credit of this smart capture belongs entirely to the well-known Scotland Yard officials Messrs. Lestrade and Gregson. The man was apprehended, it appears, in the rooms of a certain Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who has himself, as an amateur,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With such instructors may hope in time to attain to some degree of their skill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is expected a testimonial of some sort will be presented to the two officers as a fitting recognition of their services.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't I tell you when we started? cried Sherlock Holmes with a laugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the result of all our study in Scarlet. To get them a testimonial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never mind, I answered. I have all the facts in my journal, and the public shall know them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the meantime, you must make yourself contented by the consciousness of success, like the Roman miser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And simultaneously contemplate the money in my strongbox.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The chance for Smash to grow into something more, something mainstream and professional seemed lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the wake of MLG's decision, the community pressed on, back into the underground world from which it had emerged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The three players wrestled for dominance in Ken's absence


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] KDJ bested Mew2King at the MLG-sponsored Long Island event. Mew2King stopped KDJ at Cataclysm 3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In California, PC Chris defeated Mew2King at OC3, and Mew2King trounced PC at FC Diamond in Indiana. All three were, beyond question, the most fearsome players around, but the youngest of the trio seemed slightly different, a savant pursuing one thing above everything else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Melee, Mewtwo King was near perfect, but his obsession was for a game which, it seemed, would soon be made obsolete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brawl cleaved the community in two and seemed to mark the end of the road for some of Melee's elite. I kinda got into Brawl for a little while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for MewtwoKing, Brawl was a chance to keep going with competitive gaming and get a jump on the competition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After MLG, Melee found a temporary home in the lineup of Evolution, the premier fighting game tournament in the United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The professional setting and first place prize brought a familiar face out of retirement for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A focused Ken would be the man to beat at EVO. But before he could take him on, he found himself facing off against a melee newcomer and his stubborn jigglypuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Match 4 became the most watched of all time, and, just like that, a community which seemed destined to fade away was revived, thanks in part to a robot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was, like, kinda two different camps, people that didn't really understand Mew2King, and then people that were like, accepting and encouraging for him. And I think that kinda helped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It didn't wow me like right off of that and I was kind of worried about that. At least from a, at least from a more melee perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt like me and KDJ instantly got along. I mean, I feel like I have a lot of rivals, but me and KDJ are another robbery, cause like, New York vs Boston, we got that going on. I hung out with him the most out of any of the other professional players, and definitely had a great time hanging out with him. He's a good guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was the last one before New York. I lost to hugs, which honestly, he's always-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't want to say, like, I'm not good anymore, like, or I'm not gonna be placed in top three because even though I might not believe it, like, subconsciously I'm gonna be thinking it and like, it's just not a good idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I try to just narrow- narrow it down to matchups that I liked and that I didn't like. And the only two people I wanted to avoid was Hugs and Azen. My whole life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was almost like a body high, like, I just felt great the entire day. I never wanted to be the best player, that was never my goal, but just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Putting my time into something and seeing, like, these great results. You know, like, I couldn't believe, like, from this game that I picked up with my friends that I was able to accomplish something like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost positive, he just didn't understand the concept of paying for something in the store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A barbaric pile of rock, 40 miles long by 20 wide. The man is Floyd Buckley. He's going into this 800 square miles of sudden and violent death because he thinks it's just another mountain. And because he's greedy for its treasure. Yeaah, I said treasure. Gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Twenty million dollars worth of precious yellow metal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's simple to get to. The mountain, I mean. Just drive 36 miles due east from Phoenix, Arizona, and there she is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She looks easy from the outside. Inside, it's like Satan's private art gallery. Sculptured pagan granites, unmellowed by time. Hidden in terrifying canyons and gorges. But if you'd like to pick up 20 million bucks and figure like Buckley there that a mountain's just a mountain, I'll show you where to look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, this is the true story of Superstition Mountain. The biography of a death trap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name's Barry Storm. I was hurled into this story when I heard that shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up till then, I was just an ordinary guy with a reasonable curiosity about the lost Dutchman mine. A curiosity I wish I'd never been born with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hurried toward the sound of the report and hoped I'd find a hunter who'd maybe bagged a deer. I found Floyd Buckley, sprawled and dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His blood, life, and dreams spilling out on the unfriendly ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you find a dead man, you're supposed to call the police. I'm a good citizen, I set out to do what you're supposed to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fear and panic gave me a boost up over that ledge and I began to run, not walk, to the nearest exit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd just gone in to look for gold. I didn't want to find lead from the business end of a killer's gun. It took me three days and 36 miles of tough hiking to put the sheriff from Florence, Arizona into action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I know it sounds kind of bad, but I was hollowing Buckley. You were what? Now wait a minute. I didn't shoot him. I had a good reason to be up there. My grandfather was Jacob Waltz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jacob Waltz, the man who owned the lost Dutchman gold mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All I know is, when I was a kid, my mom heard about this mine her father was supposed to have found. I always figured someday I'd come down here.

[Assistant] Well, I thought there might still be a buck laying around that had my name on it. First place I went to was a claims office in Phoenix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it looks like you and I've got something in common. Yes. I happen to be Jacob Walters Drenzen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He really brushed me off. I decided right then to follow him. When his car dropped him off at Apache Junction, I was waiting. I started tailing him then. But Buckley was too sharp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, some of them. Most everything I own is right on me. I put my bag in the bus depot after I checked out of the hotel. You haven't got a job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, three other guys have been knocked off in the same area, ahead of Buckley, before you even got here. That's a break in your favor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buckley was a fourth? A fourth in the last two years. All right around here, and all by a thirty-thirty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you look in the record book, you'll find out 20 men have died in this mountain since 1880.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four guys murdered, all in the same area, all by a 30-30, all in the shadow of Weaver's Needle. So? The killer thinks he knows where the gold is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it looked like the others might find it before he did, when they got too close, he knocked them off. So the jackpot must be somewhere as close, near that peak. Buckley, I bet he found it. Found what? The mine? No, the marker. He said he knew where the marker was and how to use it. Come on, I'll show you something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rocks hammered in that old sawari cactus indicate three directions. But only the one pointing north leads anywhere though to some signs carving those rocks up there. It's quite a climb. Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only trouble is nobody's ever been able to find anything but follow on those signs. Aren't they the real thing? Who knows? Who put them there? You suppose my grandfather? Ah, they're Spanish signs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Supposed to have been cut by the Peralta's. Peralta's? Buckley had a Peralta map. Had the name Manuel on it. Hmm. There were three of them. Brothers. Manuel, Pedro, and Ramon. They were the first to find gold in here a hundred years ago. There's an old Indian legend about them in this mountain, eh, Walter? They opened up several of the mines and then left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Pedro, the oldest brother, came back with a big expedition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Walter here, who's an Apache himself, has heard from his own people the story of what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After many nuisance raids by the Indians, Pedro Peralta decided to hide his gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He selected the richest and most inaccessible mine of all, as his storage place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has reached to a narrow, twisted and almost hidden canyon that finally opened on to a torturous runway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This runway was the only entrance to and the only exit from the fabulous mine located on the thin precipitous ledge below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While armed men stood guard, Pedro's miners led their animals to the dangerous ledge where the rough ore was separated from that which had been crushed, and the pure gold nuggets were hurriedly poured into sacks for storage in the hidden mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, the Spaniards have defiled a holy place when they came into Superstation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cochise and the Apaches felt their thunder gods were avenged and appeased. Every mine was closed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So efficiently that they disappeared from view as though they'd never existed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Pedro's twenty million dollars worth of gold was buried inside the sacred mountain from which it had been taken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I generally charge tourists ten bucks for telling that yard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do I have to go out with you? I'd sort of like to stay in here a while longer. Ah, ha, getting you too, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gold happy. You know, every tourist I tell that yarn to has to stay a little while longer. All trying to figure out them signs. Yeah, I'm something more than a tourist. I've got a family interest in that mind. Well, it's all right with me. I'll leave you some grub. But remember, there's a killer loose in here. I'd hate to see you end up like Buckley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The deputy could think I was a fool if he wanted to, but I was determined to try my luck at putting the golden jigsaw together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the next five days, I beat my brains out trying to make the Spanish treasure signs pay off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 50 yards, they said. I went 50 yards in every direction, but straight up. If I'd had wings, I'd have tried that. I began to realize that this was no ordinary puzzle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How close I came I didn't learn till a lot later. I didn't know I was being stalked. That for a moment I was a bullseye, a sitting duck. Number five on the list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just kept going, dreaming about being a millionaire. The only thing I learned was that the guy who'd murdered Buckley wasn't the only killer loose in superstition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't relax right away, you're sort of close to a stop after a shock like that. I was almost afraid to look at my leg, I was sure he'd gotten me. He hadn't, but he came awful close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I pulled rocks loose to throw at the snake, I'd uncovered a part of a rifle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excitedly, I dug the rest of it out of the gravel. I didn't have any idea what kind it was, but as I held it in my hands, I wanted to believe it had been my grandfather's, because if it was, it could mean I was close to the lost mine, to the gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Call it fate, luck, it doesn't matter. But a rattlesnake that had tried to kill me had led me to this old weapon. At that moment, it seemed I could actually feel the presence of Jacob Waltz in the unfriendly canyon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly it was more important to find out about this gun than it was to keep on searching for the mine. So I decided to leave the mountain and bring the gun to you. But you know what kind it is? Looks like a Sharps, but we're interested in a 30-30. Yeah. Yeah, but if it is old enough, it could have been my grandfather's, couldn't it? I told you he had the bug. Let me see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they got nothing else to do up there but talk. Thanks, I think I'll pay him a visit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if Bill Bates was right, that skeleton was Julia Thomas'. The woman my grandfather was in love with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say, if you don't stop harping about this Waltz business, somebody's gonna swear out a lunacy complaint. Well Ray, I've gotta let the going now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First I found that rifle. Then I checked on the stories of the old folks up at the Pioneer's home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you find your mine yet? Nope. But I'm on my way back to Superstition right now. You better be careful. There's still a killer up there. I got nothing to lose except my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sky clouded up and the wind tried to blow a scare into me as I made my way back to the treasure signs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three days later, the clouds got out of the sky and into my brain. I got lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't even find the canyon where I'd uncovered the old gun. Like an idiot, I fumbled in and out of one gorge after another, pushing along with no more sense or reason than if I'd been on a treadmill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A short distance away I found a cliff from which I could see the old military trail. Jacob Walton said that from his mine he could see the trail, but from the trail nobody could see the mine. I set out to prove he told the truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm a guy who gets dizzy just standing on a high curb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even when the ground dropped out from under me like a deceitful friend, I kept scrambling along the cliffside, keeping the trail in sight. When you're sick with gold fever, you have no patience with caution. All you think about is getting your hooks into that glittering pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I followed the edge of that cliff, staying within view of the trail for the next three days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My fever began to go down as discouragement set in, and I was about ready to give up and go home when suddenly I came on a wide ledge. Gradually it dawned on me that here, the trail was in sight, but that a mine couldn't be seen from below. Then I found the map, the strange map carved in a stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was something I hadn't expected. I got as excited as a poker player filling an inside straight flush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I found that hole and realized it had been drilled into the rock for some reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't have any idea what the reason could be, but I picked up a stick and began probing to try and find out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I peered along the stick, but its direction pointed out nothing I hadn't seen before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I discovered, though it looked like just a single hole on the outside, there were actually several on the inside. My second look didn't lead anyplace either. But the third started bells ringing in my head. It pointed my eyes at a strange kind of peak. A startling rock formation with a window in its top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt as if Santa Claus had just climbed down my chimney. I began making tracks for that peak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I clawed and climbed my way toward the window above, one thought kept repeating itself. Nobody, not Ray Colvin, the sheriff, Bill Bates, nobody had ever mentioned the weird map cut in the rocks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh this peak that had been pointed out by the stick in the hole. I'd discovered these things all by myself. What I knew was top secret. Private knowledge for Barry Storm. I felt sure that at last,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, I was on the express road to the Lost Dutchman, to my grandfather's fabulous mine, where I'd find lumps of gold piled up like rubble. I was so dreamy, I figured all I had to do was crawl through that window, and the mine was on the other side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there wasn't any mine. There was nothing. I figured I'd crawl behind another eight ball. Then I realized this arch was man-made. It did add up to something. And when I saw my shadow on the valley floor, I knew this window was the key to the gold. My whole future was in that square of light below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I race back to the wall map to fix its location in my mind. Then get started on that last lap to fame and fortune. But something had changed. It wasn't like I'd left it. Looking for this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Found a window cuttin' the rock. It's a sort of a light sign. It casts a shadow that points to a spot where the gold may be buried. And the spot is... gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been looking for that gold for 20 years, Storm. If anybody's gonna get it, it's gonna be me. You're right about that light sign. And some night it's gonna show me where the gold is. Turn around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole biography of Superstition Mountain won't be finished till somebody takes that gold away from her. The treasure signs, the marker, the light sign, they're all genuine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe you can figure out that strange map carved in the stone. I've got a hunch it holds the key to the fortune. Anyway, everything's all there in the mountain. And if you're interested...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might like to know that any citizen of the United States has the legal right to search for gold. And you don't have to pay anybody for the privilege.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you should find superstition's treasure, the state of Arizona and the government of the United States will recognize your claim to it. Like I said at the beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two who were following us, I wonder if they follow our trail. Nah, we'd have seen them two days before if they had. Are you sure you know what you're doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found the marker and the signs. We won't have long to wait for the next sign now. See, the moon is just rising. I never heard of finding a mine by the light of the moon. It is 38 years to the day, and my brothers and I were here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You won't forget our agreement. Huh? I am a Mexican. I cannot file a claim for this mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stayed behind that first time after Colvin told me to go back. When I saw him raise his gun about to shoot you, I knew he was the killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't really get like I wanted to get cause I had to sign that peace treaty with my wife. She said, ah, yeaah. You know how you be getting them boxes that come to the crib? We can't even do that no more. I was going to say. She bought him a car. I respect that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My price limit and your price limit different. See, you can get one thing at a time if you go out for it. You get, you get a house and then you wait it out. Yeah. You either get you a car. Yeah. You wait it out. Yeah. Y'all cats be getting all three. I'm gonna get me a boat, a house, and a car. What off what? Who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, you said this and I totally couldn't agree with you more. As I sit back and look at it, guys,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NFL could win. They could win going into a court battle and whatever arbiter or judge comes in front of this case could say, you know what, you guys right, you guys did win this, uh, Deshaun Watson will let you do the indefinite suspension or whatever you want. However,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lose at the same time because you're gonna go in front of a judge and the most obvious thing that they're gonna do is if this is a process thing and this is a contract issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The league, uh, and the players association have a right to say, okay, well, unless we know what they did in the Texas situation, how do we know this, this process warrants indefinite suspicion or how can we compare the two to see if everything is equal? Cause this is the same crime. It is. It's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the thing is, they can eventually get out of it, but here's the thing. You're now going to have information about the same types of things that Sean Watson was doing, and then people are going to say, wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An organization was handed out NDAs? How many times have they handed out NDAs? How often did they know? Did they have any information? All of this stuff now comes out and now the process is what? Guess what? All of that is in the court of public opinion, just like it was with Deshaun Watson and I don't think they want a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think this is why, this is why I like, I pay attention to politics, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it's entertaining, it's strategy, right? So sometimes politicians, have you ever wondered why certain politicians could do certain things and it just doesn't seem to stick? But other ones do minor things and they're just gone. They just get banished. Well, there's people behind them that are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are calculating this. They're looking at certain things. They're reading tea leaves. They're judging what the, what the fallout will be. And the worst thing that you can do as a politician is read the room wrong. I think the lawyers for both the NFL Prairie Association as well as the league came back and said, guys,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on, calm down. You guys are, you guys are reading the room wrong. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you're right. I think you guys are handling it. You're going, you're willing to die on this hill. Right. That's the key. This is the hill. We got through CTE. We got through what, you know, we're working on the Rooney rule, right? We got through deflate. We got through all these things. Added a 17th game. 17th. Are you willing to die on this hill?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause at the end of the day, if we go and we come up with a settlement, the season's here. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the concussion thing didn't get him, what's gonna get him? And usually what happens is, is your own hubris, your own from within. It comes from, you know, you ever see somebody have a band? You know what I'm saying? The band is going good. We all in the band. We making millions. We touring. We sold 5 million. And then one dude is like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always look at that as, am I going to jail? Or am I coming home? Or I'm coming home? That means I'm cool. Like, that for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's one civil case. There's one civil case. That's it. What is it left for him to make amends with?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't understand journalism. I don't really get it. Like, not that I'm demeaning it. I just don't under- like, so for me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going into it, right? I would know asking a person that question. I would already know what answer he's going to give you. So if I ask a follow-up question, along the same lines of what I just asked,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So explain, cause I think a lot of people, this is a good conversation because I think a lot of people don't understand between


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journalism and like, opinion stuff on the radio. Right. So when you're talking like, we're interviewing people, people think an interview is an interview, but no, it's different. When you're interviewing somebody in the field like that, there's a different line of questioning that you kind of have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you ever think at one point in time this would be possible to even have this much interest in the sport to be able to do this and have All Women League, uhm, when you were growing up, and I think, you know, as far back as 2017, did you think this was possible?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Callie, I'm gonna go back to your coaching career. And in general, you know, the future of female coaches in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as a minority, I hold dear when, you know, Barack Obama was elected, you know, as the first black president. We have a first black female vice president now. Uhm, how close do you think the NFL is to having a woman becoming either a coordinator,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been watching, I see what they be doing up there. Especially these two, them on the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jim, what's, what's the optimum situation for Baker Mayfield? Obviously, he's there for one more year. Uhm, you draft Matt Corral. Uhm, I think he's the up-and-coming guy, third round, I believe. Where do you, what's the optimum situation? Do you see Baker being, if he plays pretty well this year, more of a long-term answer in Carolina?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well said. Hey, Jim, uh, let's talk about the quarterback, uh, not quarterback, but the, uh, head coach, uh, rule. Um, how, how hot is it down there? I know it's got a little bit Charlotte. It's a little warm for Yankee up here like myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, how warm is it down there for him, for his coaching position?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coach Stefanski has already been on record. He said, uh, you're not gonna see many of the starters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you, do you agree with that to a certain extent? And especially when you talk about Jacoby Brissette, because I thought I would have played him last game. I'm kind of confused at what's going on here with these snaps. He's not going to play this game either. Is you cool with that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to be demonetized. So I don't know if they're actually talking about breaking anything and sniffing stuff. I would not try that. Yeah. Can we get some Deshaun Watson stats at the bottom?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do y'all know the difference? Because I think, let me set this up, I think there's a couple people like this on this Browns team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you played with somebody or do people in the locker room know if a person done really earned his position or he just by default got the position


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Due to some casualties, maybe somebody I traded, maybe somebody they want to give them the money or maybe somebody that went down and you like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy, he running with the twos, but he really ain't no two. Or he running with the ones, and he ain't no one. Can y'all tell that? Cause there's a couple dudes, I ain't gonna say no names right now, Donovan Peoples Jones. I ain't gonna say no names right now. But, I mean, that's a default running with the deep. They got him the number two receiver for no reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is very tough. What school did he go to? Could I get a LSU? I'm gonna say true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I'm gonna say this is, this is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, since we gonna get to the Guardians, you know, the Guardians, you owe these two gentlemen something here. These two gentlemen be putting the cape on for y'all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They be waving the banner for y'all every single day. They talk about you. They keep you in the news. You can't even turn my radio station on without anybody hearing guardians talk. They fight for guardians space in this rundown every single day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, trust me, we be in the pre-show meetings, and they be fighting for it, so I gotta give them credit. So what you guys need to do, because I said something about it, and you need to reciprocate this, I need them, when they gonna throw out the first pitch? When can that happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're playing at the highest level, and you're playing at the most competitive level where there's not that much of a difference between you and a bad player or you and a great player, hell yeaah one play can lose you the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're playing the Tigers. I agree with that, Jay. I always remember this. In the 2018 Finals, LeBron gets 50, like 12, 11. He's played against the greatest team of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they not only wave it off. They call it charge. I remember that. Yea, I remember that. And this is like seconds to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was on Kevin Durant, they would have been at the other line, shooting free throws, they overturned the play, give the ball back to the Warriors, and people are like, well, you know, JR Smith, people remember because JR Smith got the ball and didn't shoot it. Right. Right. But at the end of the day, that was the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you got fined for doing something, if you got fined for doing something in the league, I always wondered this. Would your wife say something to you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, your mind's just quick, man. So you know how when you, uh, you used to watch something when you was younger, right, and you really didn't know what you was watching? So I don't know if I've ever saw this before. I mean, like watching like disturbing scenes and figuring out why inside I feel these scenes are disturbing. And I came across one, a very disturbing one. The original RoboCop, when Murphy gets killed, that is very disturbing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was very gory. I don't remember getting that off when I was younger. I was like 10 or something. Like I was kinda scarred a little bit last night when I watched that. He suffered a gruesome fate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I didn't know Robocop was that, uh, that horrific. The first one. I thought it was like more slapstick. I thought it was like, uh, you know, Beverly Hills cop or something, but not. Yeah, I just got fooled and yeah, quite, quite disturbing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if it's a little dated now. I haven't seen it in so many years. I bet parts of it are. Yeah, parts of it. The CGI effects with the machines. They're kind of outdated, but it's, it's, it's jarring. It's jarring. I don't know. Here it is. Go watch it. I might have to go check it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, we'll see how tall C.C. Sabathia really is. Cause, cause, cause come to find out, in person, people keep walking up to me and be like, G Bush, I didn't know you were that tall. I'm kind of, I was like, no, you will be shocked at how big C.C. Sabathia is. And he's trimmed down too.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, it's absolutely true that the president has done everything he can to undermine the science he's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really sidelined the public health professionals, silenced them when they have disagreed with them or tried to be, or when they've been honest about the gravity of this pandemic and about the right way to respond to it. And I think Senator Harris was absolutely right. We need to ensure that this vaccine research proceeds as quickly as humanly possible, but it has to be left to the scientists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, every year, Americans scrimp and save so they can meet their tax obligations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He worked the system to avoid paying his fair share, which is consistent with what the president has done. The tax bill that he put forward was to help people at the very top, help rich people avoid paying their fair share, while hardworking middle class families pay more than their fair share.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I hope the plan is we should be thinking about the standards to the American people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's be very clear what this is about. The president of the United States is in court right now along with his Republican colleagues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're in court right now and what they want to do is because that oral argument is right after the election, they want to ensure that another justice is on the court to add to the votes to declare the ACA unconstitutional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I think Senator Harris's point here is a really important one. The President of the United States who likes to continue to say how much he reveres the military.

[Assistant] The game is played with two teams of two. Both team members will play as a thrower and a deflector each round before swapping with the opposing team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thrower is trying to throw a frisbee at or into the other player's can, while the deflector tries to help them by redirecting the frisbee into the can. Smack, swat, kick, anything short of grabbing the frisbee is okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Points are awarded for how the frisbee hits or enters the can and the first team to 21 points wins. Here is how the points are awarded. One point is awarded when the deflector hits the frisbee against the outside of the can. Two points is awarded when the thrower hits the can with the frisbee without any assistance from the deflector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three points is awarded when the deflector jams the frisbee inside the can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the team that goes first reaches 21, the other team still gets one more turn to try to win. And in Can Jam, there's always a chance to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's because a team instantly wins the game if the thrower gets the frisbee inside the can, either from the top or through the slit in the front, without any help from the deflector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When a team achieves an instant win, the game is over. Unlike reaching 21 points, there is no opportunity for a steal. So let's hit the field and get jamming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not for long, because that's the first dunk of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I was just kidding too. This is an amateur league. Many people were playing Kanjam for the first time today. We'll let you guess who.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're gonna take that lead right to the bank. That's the official 21 points you need to win this game, but we're not done yet. The Amber Eyes have a chance to steal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Kofi has a chance. For an instant win, this game can end in an immediate, instantaneous win if the frisbee can glide right into that can without assistance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's game one. We have a victory by the Fennec Fuchsus Foxes. They're gonna move forward in the tournament, winning their semi-finals, and we'll see them in the finals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was expecting more baseball caps as it was a bright day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could have sworn those were banned in the can jam rules, but he's a stickler and showed me it was allowed, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I remember Simone's contention was that her dunking was providing the team with many of its points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that is a little bit of what the team Surly and Sabal's call reverse psychology, intimidating the team through counter tactics that don't make sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seems like a tough road ahead for the pangolins, but boy are they having fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which again, won't matter much, especially now that the sobbles- Sables.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because in Can Jam, you must reach exactly 21 points to win. Scoring over actually loses you points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Simone does not want to get a two-point score.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can the pewter pangolins make the instantaneous win?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That does move the Cerulean Sobble Sables onto the final round. But first, an interview with the Penguins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the Camp Overboard Kanjan Tournament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our two finalists are the Fuchsaphonic Foxes and the Cerulean Sables.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kudos on that pronunciation, Clayton. Thank you, I appreciate it. I've been working really hard, doing a lot of training, uhm, but this is when it really matters, the finals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, the fuchsia fennec boxes are on the board with an excellent swipe by player Sadie Guinness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, Pat. There is no crying in Can Jam. You will be disqualified.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Patches informing his partner that there were many flies around him helped her achieve a- a dunk, but I'm sure they're not complaining.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a classic dunk by Pat brings a few Chiffinic boxes that much clover. Closer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, don't you love to see it? We had an instant win by Pat, and we have a traditional can-jam beatdown of any player arrogant enough to show true skill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for joining us for this episode of Camp Overboard. Stay tuned next week for the final episode, where we'll take on a spooky campfire game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I went to Russia with the Miss Universe pageant, he contacted me and was so nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blano. And last year, last year's Battle of the Bards, I sang a song promoting unity between the elves and the orcs and the humans and the, I'm half elf, but the elves didn't take to it. They, they booed me off the stage. So that was a shame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do have prestidigitation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can do one better because this little magic trick was simply visual. I can add scent and wind and feeling to it. Why don't we, why don't one of you with maybe the biggest fingers do your little finger tricks and I will add a sweet scent, a sweet scent of sunshine and warmth to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't look at you, what? I was speaking to the group and I happened to look from you through the group. It was not a specific accusation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will cast prestidigitation on that to give it an odor. What a useful skill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna go for the scent of a hot sun-baked field in the middle of, in the middle of summer. Uhm, so hot, warm dirt and sunflowers and grasses on the verge of flame. That's what I'll do. It's good, isn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I? Yes, uh, yeaah, it's still better, okay. And I'm gonna actually, uh, I have jack of all trades, so I'm gonna add one to that, so fifteen. Fifteen. Question mark?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And save the town and then we'll be heroes. Who knows what'll happen then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would also like to cast Prestidigitation on the, uh, Froze spell to keep it chilled for up to an hour. Nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I will turn to Sue, uh, as Sue is presumably charging. I will do my bardic inspiration. I'll say, Sue!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I usually consider myself the front man here and I enjoy that position, but it's time to let women lead the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you are gonna get one, uh, d6, uh, inspiration dice on your atta- or whatever you wanna use it on, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A coin. A rare gold coin called the Brasher de Bloom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the trays were checked in my presence after I discovered my loss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he asked if he might see the doubloon, and when I told him no, he laughed and hung up. Naturally, that roused my curiosity. And I went to look at the coin. Wasn't there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suppose we say that she's a very high-strung girl, easily disturbed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really don't see why I should tell you, but five years ago, Murrow was my husband's secretary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She happened to be present when he fell from the window of his office during the Rose Tournament Parade. It was a dreadful shock to a sensitive young girl. Since then I've been taking care of her. She hasn't been well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nonsense. Kiss your mother and run along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll have to get that coin from him, Merle. How? That's entirely your own affair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want the doubloon back tonight, otherwise my responsibility for you is at an end. Capitalize on what you've got, child. It would have been no problem for me when I was your age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really, Leslie? Isn't that carrying gallantry a little too far?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's trying to protect Merle, of course. Poor little Merle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My doctor prescribes pork for my asthma. Since it's a medicine, I'm not offering you any.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A coin. A rare gold coin called the Brasher de Bloom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He asked if you might see the doubloon, and when I told him no, he laughed and hung up. Naturally, that roused my curiosity. And I went to look at the coin. Wasn't there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arrangements have been made for you to carry on your work in another country, where you will be told when the time comes. I have made out lists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] May be denied, but hearts can laugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, sir. But I didn't know Lucille very well. She had different classes than I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My father was waiting up for me. I was just afraid to go in, that's all. What are you doing down here yourself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am old enough to be your father, and I don't happen to be the kind of man that picks up young girls like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you hear that Captain Boycott was handing out eviction notices? I knew it had happened, Father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We didn't ask to be brought into your drawing room, sir. Our boots are clean, and we put on our Sunday suits, Captain. I didn't. There you are, you see? They've no respect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I might be accused of acting in a biased and unchristian manner if I were to indicate to you that I consider the actions of certain individuals of this parish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if I were to hint that I think that certain other people have behaved in a way which, to say the least, is unneighbourly short-sighted and foolhardy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And since the subjects come up, I don't mind saying that it is the purest piece of chance that Mass has finished a bit earlier this morning than usual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How convenient it might be for one or two of you who might be thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll soon find out. There's more to this than meets the eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is it, Joe? The prince has broken a fetlock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they may have thought that if it was known the captain was going to raid the lad, somebody would organize a little opposition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still listen to me. Out of the way! We want justice! Daniel McGinty, you had ever more heart than head. What a blundering fool you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This moment of your madness is our moment of victory. Look, my people, look yonder towards Nelty Hill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have broken and defeated him, not as I warned you by violence, but by a greater, more Christian and more powerful means.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here on the shores of Lochmask, you have forged a weapon which will strike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'll be studied and followed wherever people are oppressed. So go to your homes now and leave violence be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the future, if any man offends against the community, you can ostracize him. You can isolate him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two days. The only thing that travels fast in Ireland is gossip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, sack split open. There was nothing to tie it with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw my mother and father thrown off their farm through it. I saw my mother die in a windy bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not interested in causes. All my father and I ask is to be allowed to live our own lives. That's little enough, surely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. My father has sunk everything he has here. It's his whole life. We're not moving now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care if everybody is against us and we haven't a friend in the world. My mind's made up. Will you go now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dug an open grave in front of our door the other night. That's the third threat they've made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, you poor idiots. With the back of their hand, they'll knock you flat. Will they so? We shall see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks like someone's expecting us. Awfully nice of them to roll out the red carpet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know. I won't look after you, so don't screw up. I got things under control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've gotta give you credit, Bayonetta. You never cease to impress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they have an idea, and this is before meeting with Caleb Williams, before meeting with Drake May at the Combine is when, you know, all of that kicks off. And then of course they have their pro day circuit. They're in draft meetings right now. They're setting their board, at least the initial board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they have an idea, at least of the strengths of this quarterback class, but also...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The opportunity that's in front of them that with this number one overall pick the way that the team finished last year and the opportunity that's ahead of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think you can pass up on that opportunity in back to back years knowing that the offensive rookie of the year in CJ Stroud was someone they could have had last year. They chose not to. They stuck with Justin Fields as much as Justin Field is beloved in Chicago, beloved by his teammates. All of those things are true. I still think that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think at this point of the offseason, you're probably painting that scenario if you are Ryan Poles and you're staff and say, okay, I can understand why this would work. There's no, nothing definitive yet, but I do think that they have at least some clue of the direction they want to go in this offseason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm still in like the, like, I'm holding out my reservations on that, cause yeaah, I've seen everything from where people are like, he's a can't miss prospect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could develop into Patrick Mahomes, which I think is put in cart before the horse because the bears had an opportunity to draft Mahomes. I don't know if he would be Patrick Mahomes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, dynasty lore, if he was in Chicago, if he came here in 2017, I don't know if Caleb Williams will develop into that, but you see everything from that to, oh, he's a QB2 at best, and you know, he's not a generational talent. I know what the draft


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Analysts and the experts are saying that Caleb Williams is probably who the bears draft at number one, but we've seen draft boards change like over time as people start talking to these prospects and know from combine all the way to the draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back and forth till the very end, and then it ends up being Bryce and then CJ. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens with the way that the quarterback class is currently laid out, at least in theory of one, two, and three Williams, May, and Daniels, but I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that Caleb Williams and what we know and all the investment that the Bears and every other team that's in the market for a quarterback has done, that he's probably the consensus as of right now to go to Chicago if they do use that number one overall pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that they used that interview with Cliff to get information on Caleb Williams, and I don't think that that's a bad thing. Uhm, Shane Waldron, higher, coming from that Shanahan-McVay system,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Show that no matter who the quarterback is, he can work with a lot of different prospects, whether it's somebody like Justin Fields, whether it's somebody that is currently or, you know, a draft eligible quarterback and turn that guy into a success. I mean, it was from Jared Goff to Russell Wilson to Geno Smith. He's shown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you widen the ability to get the most out of whoever the quarterback's going to be by getting somebody who isn't just tied to one guy, if that makes sense. That's how I view Shane Waldron because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, if you take a look at the nine candidates that they interviewed for that offensive coordinator opening,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of them came from that Shanahan-McVeigh-Kubiak system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Developing the NFL, like it's such a rarity that you can get a Patrick Mahomes, a Tom Brady, somebody who can be in any system and succeed. So getting the coach who can take, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys from different sorts of, you know, areas of quarterbacking, um, and fit them into a system and also keeping this offense similar. So the 10 other guys on offense don't have to learn a brand new language. I think that that is, was a priority for them as well as they went through the OC process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four picks and DJ Moore who I think you could basically say was the equivalent of a first round pick. If, if they're looking for, and I've heard everything from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's gonna take crazy compensation, historic haul, they could get even, you know, twice of what they got from the Panthers last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For what San Francisco did in 2021. Multiple first round picks. You know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think mortgaging the future of a franchise is probably the best way to put it, if you're going to move up to get to number one. And how many teams are actually in the position to do that? Washington, of course, being at number two, the New England Patriots need a quarterback at number three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are the only two teams that feel like the most realistic options to get up to number one teams that actually have the draft capital to get up to number one. And you know, Washington, as you know, with the extra picks that they got at the trade deadline for Montez Sweat and Chase Young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They seem like they're in a prime position to do that, but that's where it starts. You gotta take a look at teams compen- like what the compensation probably is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For these, for these teams, especially the situation that they're in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it would take a lot, and that's the other part of this equation that I remember asking Ryan Poles about at his season ending press conference. Can you still get a first round quarterback if you don't take one at number one? The answer is yes, because this is a class unlike last year's that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has talent throughout the first round and then into the second round. So you can go all the way from Caleb Williams to a JJ McCarthy who might be an early day to pick and still get a quarterback in this year's draft class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that may change how they approach the Justin Fields thing. Do they keep him? Do they trade him? If you're getting somebody on day two, you're keeping Justin Fields this year, granted that makes things kind of convoluted with the fifth year option and, you know, all of those things, but it's, it's not out of the question for the Bears to take the number one overall pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To trade it and maybe still get a Jayden Daniels out of this trash. Still get a Drake May if they move back one spot, but then you also have to factor in, let's say Washington. If they move back to number two,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have an opportunity to, probably your only opportunity to get Marvin Harrison Jr. So how you approach, like everything starts and ends with like what they're doing at quarterback, but how you approach the rest of the draft if you move out of that number one overall pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is based on how far you think realistically you can move down in the first round to either get another quarterback or get the top skill player that you expect to, you know, be a main contributor next year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so. I think that this will take, because of the draft class and because of how these quarterbacks are being positioned, I think it will end up being...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Significantly more draft capital that comes Chicago's way, if it's Washington, if it's the Patriots, hell, even if it's Arizona, uh, moving up to number one to go get a quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Jeremy Fowler and I did a story going into week 18 where we polled league executives on a number of different topics with fields, as it pertains to the trade value, what the market's going to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is he an instant starter somewhere else? Like what teams would be interested? And at that point it was second round pick, third round pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, maybe a combination of a couple things, a second and a fourth, all, you know, the opportunities, you couldn't, you couldn't pin people down to say, oh, he's this, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dead set on him being a first round pick, a second round, like worth a first round pick, a second round pick, whatever it is. But you start hearing different things now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adam Schefter was on Waddle and Sylvie on ESPN 1000 last week, and he said that he felt the Bears could definitely get a first round pick for Justin Fields. So clearly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's being put out there in the league right now and maybe that's trying to drive the price up on Justin, but you got to think about the teams that would be best suited to trade for a quarterback who could either be their future or a bridge quarterback because you're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the market for Justin Fields is going to be a very interesting one that I think will start to get a little bit more clarity on at the combine when you start hearing things. And of course, free agency is about 2 weeks after things wrap up in Indianapolis. So that'll be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very intriguing to see if all of a sudden the second round pick that Jeremy and I had been hearing was probably on the table for Justin Fields if that ends up becoming more in the coming weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's always a team that thinks that they can fix a quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you take a look at like Pittsburgh, for example, so they just hired Arthur Smith as their offensive coordinator. He's an under center guy and Justin operated primarily in the shotgun with the Chicago Bears for the last couple of years. Do they feel that that would be a fit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe, uhm, I think that Justin still has, you know, some of his best days ahead of him if he gets into the right offense. Clearly, the issue with Chicago the last couple of years was such a stop start process where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Couple weeks, it felt like the quarterback's making strides, play calling's catching up to where Justin is. Okay, then maybe the play calling looks like it's better and then just, like, it was just, they were never on the same page. So if you get him in the right offense, can you recapture some of that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Magic that made him such a great prospect coming out of college at Ohio State, but also fix some of the issues within his game that have been prevalent throughout his first three years, 38 starts as an NFL quarterback, the time to throw the scene downfield, the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's too young to give up on right now. I am a firm believer in that. This is not a comparable experience to the Mitchell Trubisky situation in Chicago where after, after


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 2021 season, they just parted ways and let him go off and try to, you know, resurrect his career somewhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Justin Fields is a much more appealing commodity for a team right now to take a chance on if he gets in our system, we can make him flourish in ways that Chicago did not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Undoubtedly, he's gonna be entering that hot seat territory in 2024. You gotta start producing on the field. And if you pass up on a quarterback that helps you get there, of any franchise that knows,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's, if it's Caleb Williams and there's questions about if you want to come to Chicago or is any of this just like fodder that's out there that was not put out by him that's, you know, meant to, you know, drive him somewhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta be able and be smart enough and have enough research done to bypass those things that may lead you off of the path of the best quarterback you can possibly take because above all else, you have to get that position right. This team has never developed a franchise quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have to change because the futility of the position in Chicago is just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's going on decades at this point, and if you don't get that right with the opportunity that you have now with the cap space and free agency with the number one overall pick first team in a common era.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get the number one overall pick the year after trading it, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, it's like the yellow brick road. Like you can not get off this path without shooting yourself in the foot and setting the franchise back even further.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like in terms of surprise, to see one player come in and make that big of an impact that quickly for a defense at that point, which was going through a massive period of transition, that was week nine. So Matt Eberkluys had been calling plays for seven-ish weeks. They had no pass rush. They couldn't generate consistent pressure on the quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To watch one player come in and change the trajectory of that defense, what it did for the guys in the back end, they finished tied with San Francisco for the most interceptions in the league after having


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So few through the first like half, you know, for the first half of the season. That is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was, that will go down as one of the better moves from the 2023 season made by any GM and any team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What they do now to help Montez Sweat so it's not all going to be on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've got the ninth overall pick as well. Is that Dallas Turner from Alabama? Another edge rusher they could get in the draft? Do they go after DeNeil Hunter? This team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is still in need of several pieces defensively starting up front. Um, and it got the money to do it. So it'll be a very intriguing part of the off season to see how they spend their dollars and how much they dedicate to getting more help up front because once you see the impact that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A disruptive edge rusher like Montez Sweat can have. I mean, I don't think we've ever seen a player lead, like finish a season leading two teams in sacks. It's pretty wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got a bad little mama and she always with the shits put on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very well, I will also draw four cards into my hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To decide who will go first, we must engage in the ancient game of rock paper scissors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have been bested. So now that we have decided who will go first, uhm, I, since I didn't mulligan, I get to draw another card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By spending two cores, I will summon the almighty Penton, the Penguin, as a part of my yellow magic army and put two cores.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And has 3000 BP. You may go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well maybe you should learn to trust better people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause he's gonna, he's gonna perish. So I take a core from the void into my reserve and then I draw a card. And then I refresh. And then I'm going to look at my hand for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just really excited to destroy you, frankly. I think... I think a lot of things.

[Assistant] You know, the people of my kingdom, the penguins, the uhm, the other penguins.

[Assistant] To play Flying Ark, a Nexus. At level 1 and level 2, during my attack step, all of my spirits with Luster gain 2000 BP. I do not have any spirits currently with Luster, however, once I do.

[Assistant] As I have no spirits to defend, I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lose one life, and it goes immediately into my reserve, however!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, of course, to pay for the flashback. So, that just goes to my discard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wonderland Alice, the other lander. And I'm going to put...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two cores onto Wonderland Alice. Okay. Putting her at 6000 BP with the effects at level 2 and level 3. When the spirit attacks, select one of your opponent's spirits, reduce its BP by 1000 for each spirit you control during this turn.

[Assistant] Oh, okay, I think, I think I know what trick you have up your sleeve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, I feel like you also might get rid of him. My wonderful, wonderful little lad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normally I'd have you completely obliterated by now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the core goes into my reserve and penton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never say never since second time. Second time's the charm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You better watch out for that, okay? And this card I'm about to draw?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I'm just going to start with the most important card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uh, I don't know if you know how fairies work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't realize how many penguins we have. At least two. They're quite slow getting here, but like the army?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, okay, three options here, three options here. I get one, two, three, so I spend, I get three discounts, so I spend four cores to summon Archangel Makayla.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At level one and two, when summoned, reveal one card from the top of your deck for each yellow spirit and nexus you control. Add all magic cards from the revealed card to your hand. Return any remaining cards to the bottom of your deck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there are three magic cards out of the ones that I pulled, so I get to put those in my hand, and then this goes at the bottom of my deck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm, I'm attacking. Okay. With this one. Sure. And Rain Needle, silly little Rain Needle, goes down to 1000 BP, cause I control three spirits, which is pretty cool.
