[Assistant] That's starting, by the way, that's starting to happen a little. I want to say two quick things about podcasts. Number one, there are way too many ones that are two and a half hours. Like that's just, it's getting to the point of unreasonable. Chop that shit up into two episodes. Stop it. Take it from me. I'm a broadcaster. I do this. That's too long. It's always, I mean like I enjoy, I listen to some that are three hours and I listen to them like intensely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have to come up with a system of advertising that doesn't involve podcasts doing 10 minutes of commercials before you start the podcast now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're now turning it back into commercial radio. Like if I wanted commercial radio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they're not exactly polished. So why do you have the, you have commercials that are that of a really polished product without the polished product to go with it, right? So I just, that's one thing that I think people need to be mindful of, but I do generally think the podcast spaces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is cool. It's fucking annoying and there's way too much of it. And as someone who like is an actual, like put a lot of time into being a broadcaster, I definitely saw my moments from like fuck podcasts, but by and large they're so cool and there's so much opportunity and like you have shit like yours and, um, and a handful of others that I think really are opening doors to new shit that it's worth wading through the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 50, literally 50, 100,000 other ones that are just like, I'm kinda famous. I'm gonna talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, I think I want you to edit me down, because I don't see anyone who wants to see an hour and a half with me and think they need that in their life. They're like, I hear from him on literally every medium possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at first people start doing the two, two and a half hour ones and I'm like, oh, I get why you're doing this. You need the room because X, Y, and Z. And then you keep listening and I'm like, there's so much shit you could have cut out of this that you weren't supposed to do. And like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ebro used to think we were insane because Syph and I would do an hour. No one wants to hear an hour of straight talk. And I'm like, no, no, trust me, they do. I think when you start getting up to close to three hours, you, he's right. And you're starting to be like, no good interview needs that much time. Like think about historically the great interviews that have made huge impact. They were on TV shows where there was 40 minutes of interview time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's why you go the other way and at some point we'll find the middle where it will be right. Dude, keep doing your thing though. I'm really, I think it's super cool that you're doing it and, uh, and that you're reaching so many people and helping these artists get on and like keeping culture alive by like really making these artists more important.

And let's cut to the first answer. This isn't an answer, just a great response to the tweet. Josh Gordon took more than one hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is the best. Yeaah. So let's, uh, run through these next ones pretty quick here, Steve. Rajee Davis? An answer? Literally one hit.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this particular scenario was to really wrestle an alligator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this is not a drugged alligator like you usually see at these- It was in the wild. It's an in the wild alligator. And you found a guy who said he could get you to an alligator. And did he warn you not to do this? Yeah. He did. You disregarded that warning. Correct. Okay, and we'll hear-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the most dangerous dumb thing that you did? I wrestled a bear. Like a real bear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imagine those guys who converted that cool bus and nobody ever comes to pick it up because you got eaten by a bear. Did you ever, if you had been god forbid killed by that bear, mauled by that bear viciously, would the video have been released?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is the principle. That's an excellent, that's a very good point. So at the end of the night tonight, you'll get in the cool bus, and you realize that now that you're in the cool bus, people are gonna know where you are all the time, right? The windows are tinted. Uh huh.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, she knew, she was told by multiple sources that uhm, they knew there were others. Yeaah. They may not have known the specifics of who the people were. Right. And what the accusation was, but. What does it say to you that Rusty Harden's legal team had never heard of this accuser before? Again, I think he, I don't know why you'd say that if you're Rusty Harden. I don't know that that helps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Real quick on an unrelated note, Rusty Harden again, well I didn't say this one, but he looks like a character from Beetlejuice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like he looks like you might be able to take his skin off and just see another creature. Like a muppet, like some kind of muppet creature. But let me say this, and I have been going counter to this point from the beginning. I've been saying, I wouldn't settle, I wouldn't settle, I wouldn't settle. The Sean Watson absolutely must settle, and he must settle immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if he truly believes he's innocent. Tell us why you think that now. Because this is, this latest accusation, if you see the specifics of it. The language wasn't pretty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two women say to me, since they heard about this, two women that were up until this point saying, you know, it's he said, he said, she said, you know, I don't know. So it's like, you know, they were against him to begin with, but I've had two women that were very open-minded on this that were fine with Watson being here in the last


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This morning, say to me, you know, this one was pretty gross.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As everything more drips out, there's more pressure on the league to suspend him more. And whether that's fair or not is irrelevant. You know, that in theory is not fair, but it doesn't matter. The league, you know this, they make their decisions based on PR.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They react to pressure. And he's just- And they're feeling it right now. And another thing is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if, let's say they suspend him now and he, let's say he doesn't settle and they suspend him now and they suspend him six games. Yep. And then two years from now, these cases go to court and he loses, not saying he would, but if he did, well then they might suspend him again. Whereas I think if he settles now, he'll get his suspension and then everybody can move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No doubt. And this situation, yes. If Watson is guilty of what he's accused of, he's a bad guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bottom line is, we all know this, everybody can get up on their soap boxes and get angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bottom line is when Watson gets on the field, and he will get on the field, and it probably will happen at some point this year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Worst case scenario, it happens in 23, but when he gets on the field, if he wins, 99.9% of the people screaming and yelling will not give a rat's you-know-what. They will not care. Ben Roethlisberger in his last game was talking about like the conquering hero of America. They didn't say one bad word about how this guy's awful reputation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could not like Deshaun Watson personally and still root for him to win when the Cubs, I hate to make people feel bad, but I have to bring it up as an example. When the Cubs traded for Araldis Chapman, he, right, I didn't love it. There was part of me like, oh, I don't want him on this team. They might finally win the world series, but ah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the end, even though he gave the big homerun to Rajay Davis, in the end...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, well here's the thing, Jay. A couple things. First of all, I tweeted this this morning. Could the Browns trade for Darnold?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is I take Sam Darnold and I can get a mid-round draft pick. Now I don't know how high a pick I can get. I said, I suggested a third yesterday. That's probably not realistic. No, that's not. But even if I could get any draft pick just to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to move on from Baker and get a minor asset and I'd rather have, if Watson does get suspended, I'd rather have Sam Darnold as my backup than Josh, uh, Josh Dobbs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baker may feel. I would, even though Baker's better, because Baker needs to move from this team, and, and I just don't. See, that's where we differ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I get to put Baker on the team I want to put him on and he can't score every one. That's a good point too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baker and the Browns is finished. We all have to wrap our head around this. There's no coming back from this. Baker hates the Browns. He is not going to mature all of a sudden the next week. He doesn't want to be here. They don't want him here. They need to move on. This is the best scenario. At least you get something. Something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you are with Baker. The Browns cannot win the Super Bowl with Baker. We all know this, right? Don't we? Let me ask you this. You can't. Not, not in this NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be honest here, don't, you know. No, no, I'm being honest. Now, by the way, Jacobi Berset had a significantly better PFF grade than Baker last year, but I would say Baker by a small amount. The bottom line is, I don't, not only do I not think Baker can win the Super Bowl, but you certainly can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can win a Super Bowl this way. The Browns had a perfect team around him two years ago and, and that was enough to get him to, to. It wasn't perfect. They had flaws on their team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so if they can win it with Baker, they can win it with Jacobi. Can they though? I mean, they're the exact same player. No, I think overall Baker's probably a little better, but Jacobi was better last year. He was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not really about trading for Darnold. It's about moving on from Baker and maybe getting an asset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what we do. This is what we do. I would take Ode, even though it ended, obviously, poorly, the last time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would still take OBJ back because he's just talking about a few, you know, you're not paying him that much money. He's going to miss a lot of the season. We have the cap space. We have the cap space, the probably the most cap space available. It's only a one year contract. If he has a good attitude about coming back because he'd like to play with Watson or Brissette, then fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I got nothing bad to say about Jock Dobbs. I'm just saying he has no experience. Fine. I'm just saying if I could get, if, if, if, if I could trade, take Darnold's contract to get rid of Baker and get a draft pick, I would do it. If you want to keep Dobbs as your third quarterback, fine, cut Darnold. He sucks anyway. And everybody loves Dobbs, so fine. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disrespect you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but they wouldn't be on the hook. I'm just saying they, they're in the same, both teams would be in the same spot financially because you just, it's this exact same contract. So Carolina's not taking on additional money. They're just getting Baker instead of Darnold and then giving up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And get an upgraded quarterback, because Baker is an upgrade from Darnold. So I, I, I don't think that's crazy for Carolina. They do seem interesting in theory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not doing it, but I decided not to change my Twitter handle. Cause some idiot took Adam the Bull years and years ago, even before I was on Twitter. I was stuck with Adam the Bull fan. I wanted to get rid of the fan, but I was like, what am I going to do?

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I think that evens the playing field in those situations a little bit, right? Because, and if you look at Nick Chubb's numbers, yards after, I mean, all his numbers are great, but if you look at his numbers yards after first contact,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He kills the competition. It's not even close. I think Derrick Henry is the only guy in his neighborhood. Yeah, probably. But because it don't matter. And as you said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his career, now you'll see more of it this year with Deshaun Watson, but Nick Chubb's been back there with not a lot of nickel and dime because the biggest threat's been the running game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's gonna change. It's gonna change this year with Watson though. Oh, at least a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta tell you something, the first time I saw Miles Garrett at training camp, in his rookie year, he came walking out there with no shirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm looking at like, and I'm looking, you know, I'm used to being a training camp and you're seeing football players for a decade, whatever. And you know, most football players are in great shape, but I have never seen a physical specimen


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leroy, have you been to Yardbird? Yeah. It's not, you don't like it? You didn't seem excited about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna throw a few random DBs to you here. You tell me if it's any of these guys. Harlin Barnett? Nope. Nope. Lattenberry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, wait a second, how about, uh, this is terrible TV right now. This is great TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a lot older than me. This is my favorite segment. Oh, the player was older than you? Yea. But I don't do this research when we're not on air. Wait a second. He's got him. I think I might have him. Here he is. Last one. This is it. For all the money, no pressure. Is it Vince Newsome?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leroy, when you come to town, are you treating us all to dinner?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my ultimate Cleveland memory is when the Cavs won the championship and the day of the parade. It was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before you do real quick, I just should clarify. Of course I was saying didn't Ray Lewis kill someone? Of course he did, he killed someone. His friend, you know, allegedly did. He didn't want to rat him out. No snitching over this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, I lost a friendship over setting a friend up with somebody. That didn't work well. Geez, it wasn't a marriage. Well, this is crazy. So, no, it was that he liked her and she didn't like him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we went on a double date, and he was interested in her, and she was not interested in him, and he kinda held it against me. Which I thought was crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, Mikey, I just thought of a girl that I think is single that I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, when that's the first thing they say about him. She's a, she's a nice, I don't want to be, you know, I don't want to sexualize her. No, I'm not saying that. That's Mikey's job. She's a nice looking girl. When it's pitch night, she's super nice. She's, no, but she's, she's nice looking. I just didn't want to make that. Okay. I don't want to be like, I don't want to come off like a perv. We'll talk offline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know another thing about the Android is that like, if you're in a group chat, which like the Steve thing, but like, I'm in this group chat with a bunch of guys that I play fantasy football with, and one of the twelve guys has an Android. So now we can't name the group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right, but even worse than that is the people who stand up as soon as the plane lands. I don't like those people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, my buddy Dustin Fox makes a big thing about this and I completely agree with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, by the way, did she get a strike against you for calling her bro? No, no. That's part of the deal. That's part of the deal. That's why I slip and call my wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, I haven't flown first class very often. I'm not a high roller like you guys. But the one time I did it, because I got a free upgrade, that was like heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I fly, when I have flown by myself without my family, I always make sure I get an aisle seat. And I always hope that it's like a tiny little woman sitting next to me. Cause I hate, and I always say to them, listen, I'm sorry if I encroach. You get the fat man extender, I get the fat man extender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's, it is egregious, vegetarian I'm okay with, vegans obnoxious. By the way, quick story, I promise it'll be quick. I may have told you this off the air, my wife and I got invited to a wedding in Pennsylvania.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good one. Same for the people who walk in the supermarket, as I've talked about. When you're carrying bags, you always let the person walk out first. But that's a good one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Home Alone. Yeah, I like this a lot. Home Alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta tell ya, I was actually watching game three of that. I didn't watch the whole thing, but I actually watched some of it. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You never, we always talk about like bad calls in the NBA, nobody ever talks about it in hockey, maybe because we don't talk about hockey. I thought the ref, I'm not saying they cheated, but I think the refs completely screwed the Rangers. The Rangers had an early lead in that game, up 2-0, and then the refs got involved and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like G kinda looks like he's, like he's, it's a struggle to hold his head up right now. He's in pain. I want to point out, I noticed you took off the glasses for the wave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time on Road and Race, we continue our work on our track car by finishing off the rear brake lines and discs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of left over stuff that we've quite done. So uhm, it's uh, we'll get, we'll tell you what we're doing as we do it, but uhm, it's kind of all the stuff that we've been meaning to do and I've not got around to yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next job we have to do is to replace the brake hard lines. The reason we're doing this is because this rubber section here is crimped. So you can't actually replace it yourself. You have to buy the whole unit. So we'll take those out. There's two of those. There's a longer one on the other side of the car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, it's like we have to finish off as well, is replacing the little hard line, sorry, the flexies that connect the hard lines together from the front of the car to the rear of the car. So, this flexy will go into here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then this part will go into the actual caliper. As usual, just place a pole on the brake pedal. That'll stop fluid leaking out when you disconnect the brake lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the back of the car where all the, um, hard lines for the brakes meet the kind of flexies. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just out of shop down here, you've got these other two hard lines and this one goes to the, uhm, what's that, the, uh, passenger, uhm, brake caliper, rear passenger brake caliper, and that one goes to the driver's, uh, rear brake caliper. So these are the hard lines that we bought and showed you earlier and those will be swapped out as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here we are with all the new braided hoses, the interconnect hoses, all cabled up to the uh, hard lines. Now all that is left to do is to bleed the brakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're very sharp. They're much improved. I'm not sure if it was cause we maybe...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't drive this car very often, but when I do, I always think of how rocky it is. It's so chirpy and quirky and lively and sprightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Possible track rulings, bushings, uh, you know, who knows. But yeaah, we need to really investigate what's going on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, get rid of the evergreens, finally. Nice to do a comparison against the road tyres on track and the track tyres we have as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Click the top right box for the next episode, or the bottom right box to watch from the start of this series. And as always, thanks for watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time on Road and Race, we make our little Clio look like a proper race car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the last episodes, we tested out the new sport springs and track tyres we fitted to see how they affected handling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well as showing how and why Gary got a faster lap time than me. This time I wanted to put down the spanners for a week and ignore the massive list of mechanical improvements we have planned to focus simply on aesthetics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking around I had seen a few options. The one I liked best was a decal set on eBay from Redberry. I wanted to get them in gold but Gary said no. So we compromised and got white.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whilst waiting for those to arrive, I went and picked up the car from Gary. It was filthy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The numerous motorway journeys and track days had left a thick, dirty, greasy coating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gary is the one usually Instagramming pictures of the cars he's cleaned but that clearly only goes as far as his own RS. Though it was up to me to give Nicole her bath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, there's no running water where I work on the cars, so even though I would have preferred to wash the car myself, I had no choice but to visit my local garden centre car park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a 20 minute wait, a 6 minute clean and 5 pounds later, the results weren't too bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The decals come in a cardboard tube and when unraveled look like this. You can just about see all the individual pieces. Yes, it was very windy when I shot this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So first up it's a quick clean with a microfiber towel and then out with the scissors to cut out the door section. The blue rubber gloves are optional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Line the first piece up and gently affix it to the car with masking tape. Then run a longer piece of tape down the centre.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remove the blue backing paper as far as the halfway point and cut it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, this probably isn't the way professionals do this, but I found it easiest to simply press the sticker to the car with my fingers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I use my Oyster card to press out any small air bubbles. Any public transport travel card would do an equally good job. I'll leave that choice up to you. With the first part stuck down, it's time to do my favourite part, the reveal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cut the now redundant paper away and repeat as before and remove the blue backing paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you can stick down the final half and peel off the top paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can probably tell, the light was fading so I just had time to make a cut where the sticker goes over the door open and then I called it a night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next up is the flag logo to attach to the rear altar. Same process as before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After repeating the work so far on the other side of the car, it was time to turn my attention to the front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another cheap eBay purchase were these three stickers, and they fit onto the grill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Took me a while to decide, but as this is still a road car,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frank tilted the ewer over his glass, then looked accusingly at me when no water came out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't look at me, I said. You used up all the water. I don't mind it neat, though. I took a sip in illustration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frank looked as though he attempted to nip down to the lavatory for water, but abandoned the idea, and went on with his story, sipping cautiously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was down at the edge of the garden on this side, standing by the fence. I thought. He hesitated, looking down into his glass. I rather thought he was looking up at your window. My window? How extraordinary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't repress a mild shiver and went across to fasten the shutters, though it seemed a bit late for that. Frank followed me across the room, still talking. Yes, I could see you myself from below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were brushing your hair and cursing a bit because it was standing on end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that case, the fellow was probably enjoying a good laugh, I said talkily. Frank shook his head, though he smiled, and smoothed his hands over my hair. No, he wasn't laughing. In fact, he seemed terribly unhappy about something. Not that I could see his face well, just something about the way he stood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I came up behind him and when he didn't move I asked politely if I could help him with something. He acted at first as though he didn't hear me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I thought perhaps he didn't, over the noise of the wind. So I repeated myself. And I reached out to tap his shoulder to get his attention, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But before I could touch him, he whirled suddenly round and pushed past me and walked off down the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sounds a bit rude, but not very ghostly, I observed, draining my glass. What did he look like? Big chap, said Frank, frowning in recollection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a Scot, in complete highland rig-out, complete to sporn, and the most beautiful running stag brooch on his plaid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to ask where he'd got it from but he was off before I could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to the bureau and poured another drink. Well, not so unusual in appearance for these parts, surely. I've seen men dressed like that in the village now and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frank sounded doubtful. No, it wasn't his dress that was odd. But when he pushed past me...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could swear he was close enough that I should have felt him brush my sleeve. But I didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was intrigued enough to turn round and watch him as he walked away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He walked down the Gearside Road, but when he'd almost reached the corner, he... disappeared. That's when I began to feel a bit cold down the backbone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sir, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to pay your bill now. You just- Tell me, kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go, and go, and never give up. Against the wind, you keep on running. Even when you stumble and fall over rocks, you never stop fighting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rebranding is dangerous, but to associate a vantage point, Lee is all I had to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A certain amount of ego is required.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a green project. It focuses on the environment, sustainable energy, strong urban infrastructure. Something like Ecosity, maybe. It's now, relevant, but still vibey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it is a very inspiring project. And an inspiring client.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're looking for a room? No idea where you'd find one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where are you from? Oaxaca.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aw, don't be like that, honey. I've still got the license.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was running down a story, how can a man in Calcutta meet a boat in Bombay? That's a physical impossibility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything. Once you told me you liked me in a beret, I bought it, didn't I? Well, now I'll quit playing correspondent and get a desk job in Frisco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stick it out. Say, you think I'm in love with hopping on and off boats? Chasing news down the back alleys of Asia? Why, they can have Bombay and Calcutta too. I'll take Berkeley, California and you. Say, maybe we can set that to music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. Why, honey? That's you truly good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, it's the least I can do for you. And all you gotta do for me is cover a little story before you leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what? So these diamonds happen to be worth one million pounds. And they also happen to be the family jewels of the Maharaja Granjore. Hmm. Who's he supposed to be sending them to and why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, when'd you get back? About an hour ago, with all the latest jokes. Eh, so I noticed. Well, what can I do for you? Do you have the, uh, clipper passenger list handy? Oh, I certainly have it right here. Oh. But I sent a list of ruggles early this morning. That's fine. Which one of these people is carrying the diamonds? Diamonds? What diamond? Oh, don't give me that baby stare, R.C. The Maharaja stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I figured you'd say that, but I've got my job too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to think Tom Hale used to be a regular tin idol to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ruggles got a tip that some maharajah is sending a million pounds of ice on this clipper. He said he'd get me a job in Frisco if I covered for him. You understand, don't you honey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks to you, Wilson, I'll never fly another crate. I didn't see your name on the passenger list. I changed my name. You're very proud of it, huh? Not since you plastered it over the front pages of yellow here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aw, don't be like that, honey. I've still got the license.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything. Once you told me you liked me in a beret, I bought it, didn't I? Well, now I'll quit playing correspondent and get a desk job in Frisco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stick it out. Say, you think I'm up with hopping on and off boats? Chasing news down the back alleys of Asia? Why, they can have Bombay and Calcutta too. I'll take Berkeley, California and you. Say, maybe we can set that to music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. Why honey? That's you truly good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, when'd you get back? About an hour ago, with all the latest jokes. Eh, so I noticed. Well, what can I do for you? Do you have the, uh, clipper passenger list handy? Oh, I certainly have it right here. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I sent a list of ruggles early this morning. That's fine. Which one of these people is carrying the diamonds? Diamonds? What diamonds? Oh, don't give me that baby stare, R.C. They're my Harajah stones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the thing, Tom hair used to be a regular tin idol to me. Forget it, Tex. I have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To whom is it going? Christopher Ruggles at Amalgamated News Bombay. And here's the message. Your ice tip red hot. Running it down on Clipper. We'll phone you from Singapore. Love and kisses, Jim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ruggles got a tip that some maharajah is sending a million pounds of ice on this clipper. He said he'd get me a job in Frisco if I covered for him. You understand, don't you honey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how about lending me your portable typewriter for a little while, eh? What for? I want to write the story I'm going to file. There'll be no news stories filed from the clipper, Mr. Wilson. But you can't do that. That's where you're wrong. Folks, the police will be waiting for us in Singapore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's a horse on me, Mr. Lewis. You know a lot about those diamonds, don't you? Not much. Enough to know where they are. All right, Wilson, where are they? Not so fast. You tell me where you're taking them and why, and I'll tell you where they are. But I want the story first. Oh, don't worry. If I don't give you the stuff, you've got me over a bow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you can understand why there are those who would like to prevent delivery. You think land was working for them? Land was a cheap one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You live to regret this, my good fellow. Just a moment. These men are innocents. What's that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quite old custom. Goodbye Constable, it's been nice knowing you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, this is Mr. Wilson. I'd like to make a long distance call. The amalgamated news in Bombay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely, and thank you. So, uh, it's alright to use the phone now? Sure, sure, go ahead. But nothing about the diamonds, of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, get me the amalgamated news in Bombay. Yeah, that's Mr. Wilson again. But it's okay now, I just... Hello, this is Lewis. Get Mr. Wilson his Bombay number. And reverse the charges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. But say, what about those diamonds? Diamonds? Uh, nothing new on that angle yet, but I'm still working on it. Can you get my wire?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what are you beefing about? I'll land you sweet murder on the Bombay clipper and steal your squawk. Well, I won't now don't get sore, Jim. This is a swell yarn, but I still want to know about those diamonds. Well, uh, I'll wrap that up for you by the time we get to Manila. How about my job in Frisco? Job? What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's well. Now, if you'll excuse me for a couple of hours. Room service, please. I'll, uh, see you at the inquest. Well, all right. Let's go up there together. Yeah, give me a ring. Hello, room service.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to order something special in the way of breakfast. You see, it's sort of a wedding breakfast and, uh, I... Just a second. Was there something else, pal? Oh no, just make mine ham and eggs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can always exchange it in a restaurant. He was probably born in Brooklyn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You won't talk. You know, a good cup of coffee keeps you going. But I, of course, this stuff, they get by serving it to tourists. If they ever gave it to truck drivers at home, there'd be a riot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw Mr. Lewis hand them to you at the hotel. Okay, Cap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This seems to be right up your alley. Suppose you take over from here on in. I should be glad to do so. May I ask you first to place Mr. Blend under...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there any way to get to the bridge without going through the radio room? Yes, to the gear room. Wait a minute. Maybe I can help. Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, Stuart. Uh, get this. This is a switch. Wedding breakfast for two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we live in Tampa, was in Cleveland for a number of years, like I'm just used to cities now and that's, you know, what I like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, you know, I think a lot of people will say like they miss hanging out in the clubhouse with the guys, uh, being a part of that, like the camaraderie is great. Uhm, I miss like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I miss like all the preparation, working out in the cage, uhm, watching the video, coming up with a game plan and then going out and facing like, you know, one of the best pitchers in the game every night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just that preparation and the battle and competitiveness is what I really miss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, for the most part, like, you just try to focus on what you had as opposed to, like, maybe what you didn't have or what you could have, but uhm, you know, certainly, like, there are some...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, frustrations like when we had, you know, guys like CC who, who left. It was like a great teammate, great player. You'd love to keep him. Uhm, but you know, like, I think for the most part, we just,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Realize like this is the team we got and we gotta go out and play our best and you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, we follow it. I mean, it's, it's a family. Uh, I was good friends with Cece and, and what was crazy, uh, about that for Cece was he was heading into free agency that off season and he basically went to the Brewers and was like, I'll pitch every fourth day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Todd Helton always had a good swing. He was fun to watch. I think currently Mike Trout has a phenomenal swing. Uhm, you know, guys that are just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The top pitchers in the league are the top pitchers in the league for a reason because they're really, really good. They got great stuff. They locate. Uhm, and it seemed like some of the guys that I would face in their Cy Young years, their stuff was just like a little bit better and they're like, they didn't really miss spots ever. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, just in your backyard as a kid, Ken Griffey Jr., Daryl Strawberry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you, you just see that like pull home run to right field and it just, there's something really sweet about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everybody on the team was like, hey, if you hit a ball in the gap, just keep going, like don't stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Matt Lawton might have been playing left field. So like it hits off the wall or bounces up against the wall and I'm like almost a second but not, you know, not quite there yet. And I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, like, as this is happening in real time, I'm thinking like, man, I don't want to be the rookie who's trying to stretch, you know, something into a triple and get thrown out and look selfish, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I would say the year that we made the playoffs, uh, in 2007, we uh, we knocked off


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the Yankees in the first round and then was, you know, we got to game seven against the Red Sox. Couldn't get under that hump to make it to the World Series, but just, you know, that whole season, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so I was, I was enjoying Chicago. There was like, great restaurants by the hotel, like, you know, we had, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Michigan Avenue right there, so like just a lot to do as far as, you know, if you wanted to go shopping or whatever, but the restaurants were fantastic. Uhm, I don't know that I had a least favorite city, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've been, I think they've gotten off to a really good start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, offensively, I think they've surprised some people and it's been good to see like some of these young guys step up and you know, kind of take advantage of their opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I wasn't in the territory, I'd swear we were back home on a Sunday morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was asleep there beside the road, then I heard you making all that noise. I guess it woke me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please don't exert yourself. I'm sure it must be very exhausting for you to try to be nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You haven't told me anything about yourself. You've been awfully quiet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You still haven't told me your name or, or, uh, would you rather not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Baruna Duncan. I spell the Duncan. D-U-N-K.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care whether you're laughing at me or not. That's the way I feel about everything, and this is the first time I've had an opportunity to do anything about it. So please, be strong, show character, and don't fall in love with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You said you showed us okay? Well, I'm a little tired. You drive for a while. After all, it's a long way to New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's been no trouble, not one iota. As a matter of fact, I have something good to tell you. I found a wonderful mother for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, many years ago, she had a sort of, uh, a tendency to, uh, to pick pockets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, but I'm not looking for charity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this is obvious. I mean, you got, I mean, Ohio is one of the most conservative states in the union, right? You know, they're not, they're not going to just jump out. I thought this was going to fail from the start. But the reality of it is, this only takes a part with high school kids playing sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? There's no child actor rules. Right? Right? There's no, if you come up tomorrow and even other sports like golf, right? You can get money. Tennis, golf, all these sports where you can make money when you're 14. My premise is this. I have a, it's an undertone to it. You telling me that a 14 year old


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But a 17 year old inner city black kid, we gotta protect you from your own self. What do you mean protect me from my own self? Listen, would you rather have money in your pocket and be able to do something to feed your family and not have to deal with stuff? Or would you rather be protecting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is what you're, that's my God given ability to do that. You don't get to decide what my God given ability is to make it earn money in this world, whether you believe is, is by my education later on or my athletic ability now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Educated doctors, lawyers, financial advisors got ripped off by Bernie Madoff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a business. And it's run very much like a business. So watch, so watch this. Say for instance, they go ahead, they get them together, they bring them down here and say okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it is what it is. We give you X amount of games. What happens is in 2023 when a civil case has come, guess who cares about none of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody's like, well, he already served, he already served this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you only got a certain people, people you go out with. Like, hey, we go out together. I invited you. It's an unwritten thing. Just cause I take snaps with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because now, like the alternatives, but hey, we get the four teeth pick, you're like, alright man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got some guys that can possibly make the squad. Maybe some guys that'll go back between the G League up and call them back up. But it's very difficult to find somebody at 14 that's going to be a playmaker. And by the way, the Cavs have great talent. So, you know, if you draft the best available player and he plays power forward, good luck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for me, what I recognized was that Kyrie was a dude, is when they gave him a Nike, like the signature line, there's not very many, it's LeBron, Kobe,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a couple of people. KD. You gotta be the top of the food chain to get you a signature shoe. And he hit the shot against Golden State and won the shot. He felt like, look, you was here all them years ago, 10 years, Lebron, you went out in Cleveland. I hit the shot. I'm the man now. The shot probably had a lot to do with it, Mike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you start to see you getting up there, KD is getting up there, when you start to see your own mortality, you start to then come to conclusions like, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, how many, how many could I have won? I was, the Cavs did take me number one. I was the rookie of the year. I hit the biggest shot and I left because I even got the most shots when LeBron was here. He averaged the most shots since last year. Yep. He has to be thinking about it. Like, wow, life was all easier. Ron LaHorne, quick. Would you want him back? No. Mike? Yeah, I take.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've now talked about two out of the three major


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but two out of three, and you could say Bieber's not pitching particularly well at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, his head coach Tom Mcdangle was my head coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we had won a state championship in 1997 and then we wanted to get an ID8.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We played, he probably don't even remember, we played against him and Warren Hardy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so we go up to Warren Hardy and I was like, you know, I'm looking around. I'm like, hey, who's this kid with this number five jersey? He's a sophomore at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember telling Antonio, we playing defense, we end up winning this game. Yep. And so we had to get in the playoffs to win. We actually lost to Maslin and Ignatius because all public schools have time, hard time beating Ignatius, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said to myself, like, this kid is a monster. He's a sophomore. The next year, Tom McDaniels comes out of retirement because he had retired. Tom McDaniels comes out of retirement, goes to Warren Harding and I had, I had saw Ben McDaniels and I said, hey man,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has that kid, uhm, from Warren, and he said, yeaah, he's gonna, and I knew Tom McDame was gonna put him on the program, like running and regimen and all this other, and he came back the next year when my brother was playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you're going through this process and you're doing your thing, winning, you got, uh, you got all the girls, you're the big man on campus, you're doing your thing, if you look back at what point do you think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you have an addiction to the fame, addiction to any sub, addiction to alcohol? Do you think any of that set in during that time those first few years at Ohio State?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, you're good. I wanted to stop you there because you talked about Jim Trestle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During this time period, 2011-ish, a couple of ballplayers went through the same thing you did. Terrell Pryor?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, boom hair. Yup. Uhm, theirs was for a little bit, you know, of accepting tattoos or moving different things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How, did you believe that the university could have done something better for those guys and did you talk to those individuals during that time or you were just in your, in your thing trying to figure out what you was going to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the young black men out there, cause they're, like you said, when you, when you come from where, where you from,


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dallas is not America's team. Cleveland is America's team. And sports in Cleveland is a religion. Uh, it's a way of life. Uh, it doesn't matter where you're from. It doesn't matter how much money you make. It doesn't matter. Sports is a way for people in Cleveland to get together. And it's something that can't be replicated. In Cleveland, sports is a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I done had, I tore my ACL in both these. I tore my PCL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had back surgery, L5S1. I've had neck surgery. Now the neck surgery is the one that's really rough, you know. That was recent, right? That was recent. I just had recent neck surgery. Yeah. And so what I got to do is I got to lose some weight to get it off my frame. You see what I'm saying? My neck. So I got 380 discs that cannot be operated on. Oh wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you doing? You losing weight? What you doing? I think the email address is UCSS at WKYC dot com. Send your videos over there. You get on any sponsorship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you gotta let these kids, just like you said, we got tennis players, you got tennis players coming over, uh, golfers coming over from South Korea, they're like 13 years old, they're making tons of money playing golf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody else knows for sure. But obviously the league, through a year plus investigation, has more information than we, than we have, right? Absolutely. But whatever they decide, whether he doesn't get suspended four games, six games, eight games, whatever it is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody has more connections to NFL players. Yep, she's wonderful. To the players than Josina. Players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's some guys on the defense, you and I know, there's a couple guys that don't, that he rubbed the wrong way, especially late last season. But on the offense, especially those, they like him and respect him, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to see like a full house backfield with Kareem Hunt, Deshaun Watson, Nick Chubb. Good luck on the team. Wow. Good luck with those three back there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, whatever. DeJontay Murray is an all-star caliber player. I want him here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No way. Right. Because if they had made the playoffs, they would have lost their pick as part of that trade. They would have lost it. Right. Yeah. Are you a big basketball fan or no? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, we already got to send down Savalli, which they should, I don't know why they haven't. Uh, police act has not been very good. He also, going back to the middle of last year, has been very inconsistent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He should dominate against Cincinnati. There's no excuse. I would hope. Yeah, I would hope so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maurice, when you go to, you go to Ohio State, we know about what happened on the field, obviously great. What was that adjustment like for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From high school to college as a human being, as a person adjusting to being in Columbus, living in the dorms, meeting new people. What was that part like for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were there, like, when you were the stud star at Ohio State, you had all these people that wanted to be around you, all these people, and did everybody go away? Were there people trying to help you during that time, or did everybody just disappear?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a way, your story is extremely unique because of your celebrity and how big you were at a young age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it's, uhm, mental illness, which, especially among men, and especially among athletes, is very, less taboo now. But there's a, there's a little part of this that I noticed from your whole story that you kept going back to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm like, oh, why did I blow it? And a couple of times in your story, you went back and you were like, well, I should have been a higher pick because I was there. I was at the mountaintop. And I think that's a little part of this that people can relate to when that success, that great success early,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost led to, it sounds crazy, but it almost led to all the bad things that happened because you were constantly frustrated that you couldn't be who you were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We go in there, we have a great time, and G says, we gotta go every week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's worked for me, it's worked for me before. Obviously I put some weight back on. You got it. We got a goal in mind. So you got to go, right? We should go. My goal is 225. I mean, I don't, I'm not going to get there by the end of the year, but that's my long-term goal. That's what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. You've really turned my life around, kid. I'm proud you're my buddy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, well this week, um, Cleo, Nicole, she's got a fresh set of boots, so fresh set of tyres, some OZ Super Turismo wheels, and some Grams Sport lowering spring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, to see if it makes a difference to the dire handling that we've been experiencing in the past. Yep. Chronic understeer, uhm, and extreme higher flex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neil loves the evergreens, I think he's got emotional attachments to the evergreens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And having no safety net in the car, I haven't been able to bring them, so unfortunately the evergreens have been burnt, and they're not going to return. No, I still have them, but I haven't been able to bring them today, so. Sorry now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lap 4, you got a 132.38 and lap 5 you got a 133.54 and then you came in on lap 6. It looks like your times are going to be on average between 132 and 133.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get sort of a few laps in and see, uh, see what I can do. It was much more stable, much flatter. But in general, this car...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Possible, don't you? On a racetrack, so that's what I try and do. Anyway, I'm happy with that, 123.35, so that's definitely an improvement on the 126. Two seconds for the springs and the tyres.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, very well, uhm, car felt good, planted, much more traction at the corners, much more tyres, much more capable, less body roll, uh, wasn't nosediving into the corners, uhm, there was no tyre flex because they're very solid, these tyres. Overall, yeah, 100 times better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. Exactly. And it's not a lot of work really, is it, that we've done? No, no. I mean, we've changed the brakes, wheels, tyres, stripped the interior, a new exhaust and suspension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so that's two. Yep. Three. Ah, three, three, three, three. Maybe the anti-roll bar?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all from me, and all from Nicole, and all from my newly acquired gingerbeard.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know what I mean? I do, I do. But I've had so many like gold medal moments. Like, right now. I've been wanting to be like on this show and meet you since I was born 28 years ago. So maybe for-

[Assistant] I used to have a really big crush on Harry Styles. What happened? Gone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I uhm, I was sleeping. I was sleeping on Shawn Mendes. I'm sorry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After supper, he began to ask me many questions of where I had been, what I had been doing, how I had found him out, but I gave him only very partial replies. It was too late to enter into particulars that night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides, I wished to touch no deep thrilling chord, To open no fresh well of emotion in his heart, My sole present aim was to cheer him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If a moment's silence broke the conversation, he would turn restless, touch me, then say, Jane, you are altogether a human being, Jane. You're certain of that? I conscientiously believe so, Mr. Rochester.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet how on this dark and doleful evening could you so suddenly rise on my lone hearth?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stretched my hand to take a glass of water from a hireling, and it was given me by you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the enchantment there is in the very hour I am now spending with you. Who can tell what a dark...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dreary, hopeless life I have dragged on for months past. Doing nothing, expecting nothing. Merging night in day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feeling but the sensation of cold when I let the fire go out, of hunger when I forgot to eat, and then a ceaseless sorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at times a very delirium of desire to behold my Jane again. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For her restoration, I longed far more than for that of my last sight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How can it be that Jane is with me and says she loves me? Will she not depart as suddenly as she came? Tomorrow I fear I shall find her no more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A commonplace, practical reply, out of the train of his own disturbed ideas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I passed my finger over his eyebrows, and remarked that they were scorched, and that I should apply something which would make them grow as broad and black as ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where is the use of doing me good in any way, beneficent spirit, when at some fatal moment you will again desert me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Passing like a shadow, wither and howl to me unknown, and for me remaining afterwards undiscoverable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you a pocket comb about you, sir? What for, Jane? Just to comb out this shaggy black mane. I find you rather alarming when I examine you close at hand. You talk of my being a fairy, but I am sure you are more like a brownie. Am I hideous, Jane? Very, sir. You always were, you know. Humph! The wickedness has not been taken out of you, wherever you have sojourned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Far better than you. A hundred times better people. Possessed of ideas and views you never entertained in your life. Quite more refined and exalted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you twist in that way, you will make me pull the hair out of your head, and then I think you will cease to entertain doubts of my substantiality. Who have you been with, Jane? You shall not get it out of me tonight, sir. You must wait till to-morrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To leave my tale half-told will, you know, be a sort of security that I shall appear at your breakfast table to finish it. By the by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I must mind not to rise on your hearth with only a glass of water then. I must bring you an egg at least, to say nothing of fried ham.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Saul could have had you for his David, the evil spirit would have been exercised without the aid of the harp. There, sir. You are read up and made decent. Now I'll leave you. I have been travelling these last three days, and I believe I am tired. Good night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just one word, Jane. Were there only ladies in the house where you've been?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I laughed and made my escape, still laughing as I ran upstairs. A good idea, I thought with glee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'll last but a few moments. No, Citizen Pouche. What this country needs is an elegant, slow death. Give a man four hours to die. It's worth watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looks like I'm in the middle. But if you'll give me a chance, I might be able to save Barak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I promised Kasha I would tell you. I was looking over the wall without my veil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lovely. Where did you get it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His head almost filled the fourth wall of her little room as he knelt near her in distress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every moment her light was growing fainter, and he knew that if it went out, she would be no more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She liked his tears so much that she put out her beautiful finger and let them run over it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her voice was so low that at first he could not make out what she said. Then he made it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was saying that she thought she could get well again if children believed in fairies. Peter flung out his arms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were no children there and it was night time but he addressed all who might be dreaming of the Neverland and who were therefore nearer to him than you think. Boys and girls in their nighties and naked papooses in their baskets hung from trees. Do you believe? he cried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tink sat up in bed almost briskly to listen to her fate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She fancied she heard answers in the affirmative, and then again, she wasn't sure. What do you think, she asked Peter. If you believe, he shouted to them, clap your hands, don't let Tink die. Many clapped, some didn't. A few little beasts hissed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not such a night as he would have chosen. He had hoped to fly, keeping not far from the ground so that nothing unwanted should escape his eyes. But in that fitful light, to have flown low would have meant trailing his shadow through the trees, thus disturbing the birds and acquainting a watchful foe that he was a stir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He regretted now that he had given the birds of the island such strange names that they are very wild and difficult of approach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in what direction? For he could not be sure that the children had been taken to the ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A slight fall of snow had obliterated all footmarks, and a deathly silence pervaded the island, as if, for a space, nature stood still in horror of the recent carnage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had taught the children something of the forest lore that he had himself learned from Tiger Lily and Tinkerbell, and knew that in their dire hour they were not likely to forget it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Slightly, if he had an opportunity, would blaze the trees, for instance. Curly would drop seeds, and Wendy would leave her handkerchief at some important place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But mourning was needed to search for such guidance, and he could not wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The upper world had called him, but would give no help. The crocodile passed him, but not another living thing, not a sound, not a movement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yet he knew well that sudden death might be at the next tree, or stalking him from behind. He swore this terrible oath. Hook or me this time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now he crawled forward like a snake, and again erect, he darted across a space on which the moonlight played, one finger on his lip, and his dagger at his ready. He was frightfully happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we go left, center, left, right, right, center, left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't do that one either. Okay, so it looks like we have to get the shards, and yeaah, there's nothing about abilities.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good to see you, we'll get you, get the man a cookie for God's sake. You know what, you come out here and uh, and the first thing, these arms, it's madness. Nine of my arms tied together don't make that arm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's insane, and then I hear that you were bullied as a kid and I don't believe it. I just don't, it's unbelievable to me.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sophie and I like to refer to ourselves as fashion bloggers, influencers, I would say. I prefer influencers, uhm, and like content creators. Yeah, uhm, but some, what we do, uhm, from like, as a job standpoint is basically just, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We like to look at ourselves as honestly people who are recommending things to people and trying to influence in like a positive way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sophie and I also serve as editors of uhm, a magazine, The Daily Front Row, which uhm, is featured in the Hamptons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And today we're gonna start our day off with a lunch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, it's interesting how you related the Gita to the Socratic dialogues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the first half of the first chapter. The second half of the first chapter is Arjuna becomes a friend who is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Well, well, I would say that he gradually discloses more and more of his identity of divinity throughout the rest of the Gita, you know, in interspersed ways. And of course the set, the 11th chapter in the most dramatic way, the Virat Thirupa and so on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we have those four kind of, you could say, external relationships, but then there are four relationships within


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautiful. And of course, as you know, the 18th chapter summarizes the rest of the Gita, so that's a distillation of what we're talking about now. Excellent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we have this kind of, uh, major sweeping tripartite division of the Gita. The first six chapters are about Karma Yoga, the second six chapters are about Bhakti Yoga, and the third six chapters are about Jnana Yoga.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there's a weave, it's a weave, it's a weave, Chaitanya Charanji. It's a weave, it's a, it's a tapestry of karma, jnana, yoga and bhakti. It's, it's too difficult to, to just make those three major sweeps. True, makes sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These attributes of the interactive, the cognitive and the affective, and you can even throw in there the contemplative,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The point is this, that when they are, when we are acting to know Krishna or in acting in relation to Krishna or we're acting to serve Krishna, then that is a yoga. Then these attributes become elevated to such a state that it connects us with Krishna and that's what makes it a yoga.

[Assistant] Whether our thinking is in relation to Krishna and whether our acting is in relation to Krishna.

[Assistant] In Krishna's absence, when Krishna disappears from them, what do they resort to? Krishna everywhere around them. The trees. Even the little vines. They start talking to aspects of creation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they resort to that in his absence. So contemplate, for the Baqta to contemplate, the Virat Arupa, the Brahman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and then the very fact, I mean, let's go back to originally what we were talking about, which is that the relationship between, you know, Socrates and his students is pretty flat, you know, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I even have a doctoral student, uhm, that I'm mentoring, uh, who's comparing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, some of the Greek philosophy of Socrates, uh, and Platonic philosophy to, uhm, to Rasa philosophy. So, I mean, there are some interesting, interesting correlations, but we'll have to wait on that when he publishes or when he produces his dissertation. But, but here's the point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the relationship between Arjuna and Krishna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four as divinity and four as, uh, non-divinity, uh, kind of identifications as, as a charioteer, as a friend, and confidant, confidant as a teacher, and then finally as divinity, but within divinity there are four further layers. So this is a very rich


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's about Russia. It's about Russia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Paramatma, uh, uh, it can be, uh, uh, gyana yoga, or you could then do, you know, uh, Ashtanga yoga, possibly, you know. Again, these are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not strict categories, but you could say, you know, you know, Gyanayoga for Brahman, Gyanayoga for Paramatman, but Gyanayoga, uh, I mean, uh, but Paramatman can be also for, for the bhakti yogi, bhakti yogi, uh, bhakti yogi, because, because the bhakti yogi sees Krishna in the heart. It's not just the Vishnu form anymore. He or she sees


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, ultimately sees Ratan Krishna in the heart and embraces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. To block the vision of Krishna for a nanosecond, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the next chapter, when Krishna's with all the gopis, there's one gopi who closes her eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She makes use of Brahma's wacky creation of eyelids and closes her eyes. Why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because she wanted to be alone with Krishna. She didn't want to share Krishna with all the other gopis. So the way she could do that is embracing Him within.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, yes, I think it is. It's a very feasible translation. Surat, I mean, sweetly loved, uhm, sweetly, uhm, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you see, but you see, but you see, Chaitanya Charanji, when we talk about the, the russas,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when we speak of the different russas, let's not box Arjuna into


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All divine, intimately connecting with the divine. Now, sometimes the Goswamis sort of drop the first rasa, the, the Shantabhava, you know, the, the Shantabhava, because there isn't a reciprocation there. Whereas the reciprocation begins with the Dasya Rasa, right? So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know what's marvelous, and we've just gotten through with Govardhan Leela celebration, Govardhan Leela Mahotsava, uhm, and you know, when Krishna lifts that hill, right, he lifts that hill, uh, with his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is sheltering all of the Russes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yeaah, we're friends, you know, but he'll always be my son. You know? Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's, you know, again, she's my daughter. She's not someone I can really relate to in any other way. If I do, then that becomes perverse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That can't really change or I can't treat that friend as something else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reciprocates with the way our hearts naturally offer themselves to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. So it's a boundless love. It's a boundless love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are ethical boundaries. In fact, in my book, my original book, I have a chapter called ethical boundaries and boundless love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Correct, and of course it's natural for Arjuna to offer his heart as a friend, but he recognizes


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end of the eleventh chapter, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So please as a lover with a beloved, as a father to a son, as a friend to a friend, please


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is a very close friend with such and such a person. And this means that they really are so, uh, beloved to one another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and they, uhm, uh, you know, uh, I have, I have friends that I'm more formal with and then I have friends, uh, that I give a big hug to. So they'll be my, like, closer friends. Yes, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's, it's a, it's, it's about closeness and each of the Russes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have the capacity for greater closeness or greater formality relative to the particular Ressa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we know with the, uh, Sringara rasa, the Lakshmi's, they have more of a formal relationship with Krishna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Krishna is present, the Aishwarya is forgotten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whereas madhuriya can be more of a generic term.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Aishwarya is more of a generic term. So Madhurya can be more, it can be specifically applied to the Sringara Rasa, or it can refer to generally the intimate exchanges between a devotee and divinity. Yeah. The five, the five Rasas, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Manturiya is, is, is, is a more generic term, but Svingara is not a generic term. Svingara can only be that which goes, uh, that, that which supersedes Vatsalya Rasam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, exactly, exactly. In fact, you know, even Krishna, Krishna, you know, will even talk about his divine forms in the third person. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He separates himself from that because he wants intimacy. He wants it. He wants closeness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you know this, and the greatest seeking the ball. The first 49 versus...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three verses from the Gita, and forget the rest of them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, dharma, karma, and so on, in the first 49 verses.
