[Assistant] I'm still playing diff set. I do it all the time. Nah, for real. Well, I gotta ask about that. You know what I'm saying? Obviously what you been? No, I'm saying a comedy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, nah, nah, you a legend in comedy, but the thing about you is you've always adapted and still been you at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With social media being such a prevalent situation to like promote your stuff or push your content, how do you feel about the new wave of comedians who came from social media?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I seen you on tour with DC Young Fly, like when he was on your tour. So I could see you embracing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, man, I gotta ask you, I'ma just go ahead and throw a couple movie names out at you and you just tell me your first thought about him. How was it when you got the call to be a hangover?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what we learned in this industry and now like, you know what I'm saying, we're crossing barriers with things a little bit different. We like, ah, we still gotta play ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how I feel in Atlanta. Like yea, you try to fit in in Atlanta. I'm like, I'm from NAP. I don't want to be like me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That made me think of something, Mike, when you got your first real payday, you looked at the account, it's up. What'd you burn your first bread on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tooth got him fixed. But you was ahead of time. You didn't get the big veneers like the rappers get now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's cool, man. I couldn't imagine, like you said, grinding the way you did. And then for you doing comedy, that's a different attention from movies. Which one did you prefer to do? Like I would say probably


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your favorite movie or your Netflix special for comedy when you came to the crib.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's dope. I would say. Where, uh, I guess when you get into that mode of, you know what I'm saying, alright, I'm about to tap into my comedy band, I'm about to get on stage, I'm about to go warm up. What's your inspiration like? Do you hit a couple cities and get, you know what I'm saying, just test your ideas or you just like, alright, I'm locked down for a month, I ain't talking to nobody, y'all see me when I get to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You did an iconic movie, you know what I'm saying? Your favorite character of his? Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The difference between doing the first movie and then doing the sequel where you got some of the newer guys, I'm sure the acting level is a little bit different, like you said, because of that instant success from my living room instead of having to go through the trial area with the fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta ask man, you say you performed at the Apollo, like, your first time on stage, how was it like, hey, the same man is not getting me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, you, you weren't on the audition. Nah. I couldn't imagine that. That's a different type of pressure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Montgomery, white chair whooped down. Mike, please tell me how you felt when you saw that first footage of that man going ape shit with that chair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. We went from seeing that to seeing Tim Anderson getting pieced up. Are you still over that, man? Man, it was a blind punch, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wore it in high school. My brother wore 44 when he was in high school. Wow. So I wanted to be like him. And then when I came back home. Oh, it's real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they was timing. Like, what's your favorite sports movie? That was a fake record game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like it was, they should have showed a little something different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn, that's funny little bitch. I got a question for you, Mike. How you feel about Tubi?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, you don't need to be on it, but you need to see some of that shit that's on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. Instagram? No, that's like a TV though. It's like Netflix. It's like FooFoo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just being honest. That's anything. Nah, that's a fact though. If you go watch basketball like that, you start watching poor basketball, you'll fuck around and start. That's real, right? Yeah, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was going to ask you about that. The writers and the actors as well. With us having such a prominent space in YouTube, do you think a lot of like, comedians or entertainers are going to probably transition to other things while this is going on? Cause like, obviously with you being- Were we the only ones?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, it's crazy cause like even with musicians, you'll hear a song and you'll be like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't make that song. They made this on the keyboard, but it sound like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't, you can't imitate soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. Well, I got a question. I'm a hoop. I hooped all my life. You've been watching basketball for years. Who your top five favorite players?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And more importantly coming up, we got a great season with the coach. We got a young black quarterback. First time the coach really gonna let him rock out. And more importantly, we got the All-Star game in the city. I know.

[Assistant] No, as we said this week, we'll turn on you. But we fuck with you the long way, man. Uh, shout out to the Patbeth episode for shoutin' us out. And shout out to y'all for going crazy on the social medias. Y'all been running shit up for us. We greatly appreciate y'all. Y'all in the comments going even crazier. Uh, B-Hend, you are our favorite amongst the crew. Uh, obviously Jeffrey, he's that nigga on Twitter right now, but you get love in the comments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, put that in the list again, like the order, who we should shout out. We shout out Draymond before the queens, now you out of the box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey man, Jordan pulled daddy had me cracking up. He got up twitter talking about A. But did y'all see him in his boxing lessons?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This ain't Friday. He didn't probably sick anymore though. Nah, but I'm saying Pops gotta know I'm grown. Like, let it go Pops. Yeah, cause you only make it worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like your girl's trying to find an argument for you. It's like, ah, you just made this so much worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's always good, but I like Dreymon because he be talking, he been talking shit from day one. His rookie year he talk shit to me. When he was on the court, and I'm like, I said something to him, I was on the bench, that nigga came over there and was like, shut your ass up, you got all that money nigga, something, something, something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, that little nigga talking. I was like, I was mad. So the whole game, I'm trying to talk shit to him. He like waving me off like, ain't nobody hearing you. Ain't nobody hearing you. Get a bucket. Like, you know, I'm like, alright, he been talking shit from day one. So before he was even playing, he talk shit. I fuck with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly, we all Draymond Green because he gave us a national treasure. When he fucking told Paul Pierce, they don't love you like that. And they paired that shit with the nigga catching the headband and throwing it back on the court is one of the best things I have ever seen in my life, bro. He's crazy. Shout out to Draymond. Draymond is crazy, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I don't think he's the biggest shit talker. I think he's probably one of the most notorious because he's gotten suspended for it. I can imagine there's probably niggas who, but I would say yes, because he got the hardware to back it up. And there's other people you might respond to. You can't say nothing to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He probably number one. And he kinda cut too. He on, he like go for the juggler. Yeaah, he don't really like just talk basketball shit with you. He can get on whatever type of topic you want to be on. I don't really know nobody else to talk crazy like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a question. Who talk crazy? Draymond or Antonio Brown? Oh, Antonio Brown. Antonio Brown, you dick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But honestly, the fact that he said that shit so like cavalier on Twitter, it was just like, bro, where do you own? And it's always funny when a nigga make a comment and they turned off the replies. So you just gotta sit with that shit. That's like Kanye dropping that Chris Paul bar and then just going to sleep. That was one of the best drops of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a conversation that even if it's true or false, I don't want to come home to that. I ain't talking about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So before the game, you know, you gotta do the warmups and shit, and I see him. He like, JT, what's up, baby? No, political and shit. I'm like, what's going on? He like, shit, nothing. He on some Wake Forest shoes. So I'm like, all them is decent right there. I might need a pair of them CPs right there. You know, just trying to keep the conversation going. He like, okay, yeah, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game start, we playing against each other. He do a lot of flopping. So he was trying to give me two fouls. I'm like, quit flopping, nigga. Play. You scared the guard. Da da da da. This nigga walked to the end of our bench where Paul George was sitting and was like, peace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was boiling bro. And when you said I'm a Ricky Rubio time, y'all please pull up the clip of Jeff pushing the fuck out of Ricky Rubio. It's one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. For real though, the reason I like Ricky Rubio, I'm not a Ricky Rubio hater. I fuck with Ricky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I did that shit, the league called and was like, is there a beef between y'all? And I was like, nah, it's no beef, but Ricky was like, nah, I think he was just trying to stop the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he saved me a fine, so really shout out to Ricky. Damn! But I did, fuck you. I did push you hard to say I'm up bad, bro. I was on diva time by far, bro. I don't know what I was in. Ah, shout out to Ricky. I know the hip hop police was, fuck, y'all got the NBA police? Yeah, yeah, you get it. They call you about that. And I was like, nah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's fuckin' crazy. Uh, you've been trendin' all week on Twitter, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, how do you say you're kidnapping? But then they showed the tweets beforehand, she searched the Amber Alert, like, what's the qualification for Amber Alert?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, what if Tupac had an Instagram? That shit was flat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael Jackson. Alphagate. I hear y'all talking about the Renaissance tour. Michael Jackson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I had a girl break into my car, pour red Gatorade over everything in the car. One of the shit, man. She poured it all over Phillip's shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had to be bro, she broke into my car. And think about the time period. Yeah, we was 16. You can't get a win over 16 that quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No you don't. You don't ever wish your ex well. That's a lot of people saying when they want them to do bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Bleacher Report, Complex, Twitter, everybody showed us love this week. We appreciate y'all for real, for real. But I don't know what y'all thought y'all was gonna get from them clips. But that ain't all of that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been seeing people comment like, oh, did they talk about that? Yeah, this is not X's and O's, like Dre Baton y'all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, we talk about a little bit of everything. It's an entertainment show. We talk about all aspects of life. We get on Hoop, but we talk about a little bit of everything. Speaking of Hoop, what y'all thought about the Summer League?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to Monty Bates, but I'm nothing on the rings, bro. Stop. That's just like when they do this playing tournament, I swear to God, they better not have no playing tournament banner posted up. I don't want to see that shit. That's bullshit. Actually, that gets kind of fired up, bro. I don't want a summer league ring though, but I did hit Monty Bates if I told him I wanted him on the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to Monty Bass. Yeah, I'm a fan. I like it. I like his journey. I like his story. And I fuck with Sharif Cooper too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, we gotta, we gotta have some talk. Oh, okay. We gotta sit down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they gonna, they gonna, they gonna be better. They gonna be better. I don't know how good they're gonna be better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they got the twin. He's cold. Even though we only got to see him limited in the summer. But I actually like his brother better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From Detroit? Yeah. Cause he guard, he guard bro. Yeah, he is defensive. Yeah, he like guard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna say, he's more offensively inclined, if that makes sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Too much crazy shit going on. Uh, NFL basically said we don't give a flying fuck about running backs no more. And this is the only one time I've ever really listened to Robert Griffin because most of the time he talks to be a bunch of bullshit. But he had a little expose talking about how like the running back systems and how they getting fucked so crazy because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, they get signed, they don't get guaranteed three years on their first deal. Say like, all the running backs primes is in their first like five to six years. So if you're getting these, these running backs,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Running the shit out of them for four years cause you keep franchise tagging them and then team options on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why they ain't getting paid shit. But they can't even sit out because of the NFL. You can't sit out. Like, I don't care what y'all say. Ain't gonna ever be no protests in the NFL because there's too many people willing to play the sport. Like in the NBA, if y'all stars decided to, yeah, fuck everybody. We not playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That hurt people's pockets. You do that shit in the NFL outside of quarterbacks, that shit ain't gonna make no difference. That is crazy. They treat running backs like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So many. And if you got a good offensive line, I mean, anybody could be a star runner, but I ain't gonna say that, but like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you got a good offensive line, you can make a nice running back. You can make an adequate running back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the truth though. But it's the truth for the NFL. It's not like the NBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ezra and James. Zeke, when he was hurt, dude stepped right in. Tony Paula went crazy. Yeaah. But like, even looking at Saquon, they paid the shit out of Daniel Jones. Uh, Saquon Barkley's cold. Yeaah. I know the stats don't always reflect that because they had a shitty ass team. But Saquon Barkley's an elite running back. That's somebody who we should know he's getting a six figure payday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the NFL, absolutely. I'm nothing, bro. It is. It is. I mean, I don't just, tell me something else. Wide receivers, I mean, kind of the same route, but wide receivers get paid more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but the draft process, if you get in the court outside of the ones that's going high in the first round, two through four is probably about system and availability. So you can always draft and run it back. I mean, look at Indy right now. They got to pay they run it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they actin' like they don't know if they wanna pay him or not. So next year, that's gonna change a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's fucked up. They really probably not gonna pay his ass. If Anthony Richardson come out this year and go crazy, scrambling in the pocket, they're gonna be like, uh, yeaah, JT.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to get another one. They got him in the second round bro. He had like the most stars dimmer ever in college. That shit crazy. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Varsity Blues. Hope y'all get paid. I hope they figure something out for y'all. Better learn how to catch at the backfield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the last one. Yeaah. Nah, this old buddy used to play for the Browns. Big ass dude, used to be a fullback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Bray. Mike Bray. Ah, that makes sense. He did recruit him. He did recruit him. There ain't no way in hell you wouldn't wish another day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, speaking of T-MAX, what's the hardest All-Star shoe? Cause for me, even though I don't think they were the best looking shoe, but that split half and half that he had was probably one of the hardest like All-Star members I remember. Like, those were crazy to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Steve Nash has some cold all-star shoes. It was like some low-top Nikes. That was hard. He likes Steve Nash. Hey, all I'm saying is if I went from the Akai team back and you went to Steve Nash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ain't never seen Steve Nash speak at some point. I ain't gonna lie, they was fire. I lowkey want him though, but. Somebody find him for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had this conversation a little bit, but I still, outside of Kobe, I thought that PG-1 is then mirror a goat. If you're going off just like fire, signature lines outside of Jordan, Dan Mare got to go Penny. Cause Penny had him with Charles Barkley. Yeah, Barkley is definitely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. I hope that I'm in high school. Yeaah. I had all blackberry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The CB94s? I mean that's one of the best basketball shoes of all time. They was heavy as shit. Now I don't know how you was fucking hooping in that motherfucker cuz. They heavy as shit. I hooped in them too though, but they heavy as shit. But that's like phone posits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember when they first dropped on the team when his shoe came out. Yup. With the Pacers. And uh, you know, me, I was like, I would not hoop in them shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, the Kyrie 1 was elite. The 2's was crazy with the strap, but then once he started getting it a little bit more, they started getting it a little bit, mmm, a little iffy. I fucked with them tough though, but still. But yeah, but back to the original question, I damn right gotta go Penny outside of that. I'm definitely fucking with Barkley shit too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deion Sanders, bro. I think Deion Sanders got that shit sold up. I mean, I'm not going with the fucking Barry Sanders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but you had to look at- You taking the Griffys or you taking the Deon? Uh, I'm a Griffy. Deon. Deon. Nope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though that Griffey Max one is probably one of the most elite shoes ever. If you're from Indianapolis, you know how we would. I'm going to tell y'all out the gate that great Griffey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See? Hey, Nigeria said respect them. You can't call them Nigerian scammers. So we gotta disrespect the West African scammers. So you a West African scammer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I wanna say shout out to James Harden, cause James Harden is one of the few people in the NBA who can finesse every situation he can, and I love to see it. Everybody be getting mad at him, like damn, he be leaving teams. Guess what? Only like 5 or 6 people in the NBA can force their way out of situations, and everybody else just gotta deal with the circumstances. I fuck with James Harden for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, absolutely. I got him over D Wade, but I'm out of pocket. Yes, you are. But, but if you think about it, when he by himself, like D Wade, he had Shaq, then he had Bron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ain't never really been by himself. When Miami was by himself, they-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And look, I know a lot of people talk about him now, which is still a all-star, by the way. Um, Prime, James Harden was, look, he had to play one of the best teams in NBA history. If it wasn't for that, James Harden woulda probably fucking got a ring in Houston. Cause they had a perfect team. He averaged 35 or like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five straight years, like. And how many assists? Ain't like ten assists, bro. Nah. He better than D-Wade, bro. I'm sorry, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. I'll say it. I know, I know what Allen Iverson meant to us and who Allen Iverson the person is. I'm not ever gonna disrespect that. That's the guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean bro, James Harden, would this James Harden not do better than Iverson?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's the only conversation I'm going to have. Yeah, he probably. I'm asking y'all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He probably scored just as good. Probably, yeaah, yeaah. I'll take it. Yeaah, I'll give you that. And that's no disrespect to Iverson. Iverson is fucking Alan Iverson. You can't- Iverson is my favorite all time person, besides The Rock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I gotta ask you a question because this has been requested and since we got a new audience, we gotta feed the streets. Everybody wants an explanation of you and that picture of you missing the bus. What the fuck happened? Yo, why the fuck do people still remember that shit? So look, yeaah, so I was talking to my sister.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she came to the game. My sister never came to a game. That was her first game she came to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was out there talking to her for like 30 minutes, but I started talking too long. I'm like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I gotta go. Like, I don't see nobody else out here. I walked out there and I went back in the locker room, got a pizza, came back out and one of the security dudes was like, damn. I was like, what? He was like, that bus just left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They ain't even hit you with the summer camp salad on point. They came back, the bus came back. I get on the bus. I'm like, how the fuck y'all forget me? Coach Bud was like, just get the fuck on the bus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I don't know. If they gonna be healthy. If they gonna be healthy, I mean, yes, he is James Harden, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that enough? What's the, who's the real contender in the West? I mean, obviously early as fuck can say that. You gotta think if they better than the contender in the West. On paper, they're going to be tough as fuck because they're going to have four elite guards. So if they even just swapping like units like that, they're going to be tough as hell. You can play all of them together outside of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, they're gonna be a fucking problem, but who are they going against? That's gonna be the real issue. Nah bro, Phoenix. Is Phoenix to consider? We saying fuck the defending champs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's what you want? Nah. I mean, I ain't saying no, but I lowkey think, I think like, to be honest, I think the Warriors gonna make another push. I do too. Cause I don't think that Chris Paul move is the final move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I don't either. I think he's a salary dump in a little bit. Yeah. But I think they gonna make another push. But what would they need? They would definitely need another All-Star.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like you gotta have another All-Star. Like, I wouldn't be surprised to see like, Pascassi, Akon go somewhere. Like, some shit like that. And I wouldn't be surprised if they got him. That makes sense. Like, you know what I mean? Some shit like that. I don't know. That would fit they roster perfectly. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause I mean, honestly, they, they had an up and down year, but they didn't have WIG for half the year, which really make a difference. If they would have had WIG the full year, I feel like they would have had a different trajectory. Cause they had to play the Kings. And I think the Kings is going to be elite next year again. I don't think they were going to hit wonder either.

[Assistant] I like them, man. I wish they would have got Cools instead of Harrison back, but I guess they fit the culture. I mean, you already jellied. I think, I think I like the Kings. Don't get me wrong. I love Trey. Shout out to Trey Loud. Shout out to Trey Loud in that town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm just saying, like in that last series, they kind of had a little difficulties and I think a couple of teams figured him out a little bit. He's a great player, but to get over that hump, they need something else. I don't know what they need, they need one more player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause De'Aaron Fox is cold. Elite. Malik Monk is cold. Facts. Kevin Herder is good. Facts. And then you got, after that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they get like, they need one more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my problem is with that team, shit, you got your two biggest players on max deals, but it's a bonus, a max player in a playoff. No, that's the only issue I see with them. So if they get another player that's that, that can kind of help them up in the playoffs and I feel respected them by the way. But I mean, the sons of the front runners, I don't know how Bradley Bill is about to be a point guard because that does not make sense to me. They're going to have to do something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cuz don't nobody got no fucking money right now. And you picked the wrong time. All the big dogs is on tour right now. Why would you go on tour when Drake's on tour? Or Beyonce? Yea, like, we gotta decide if it's Drake or Moneybag Yo. Sorry, Money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why didn't they tour together? Because I saw the dark drop in the album that nobody really gave it too much traction to. Lil Baby ain't put on nothing new. For real, for real. That's like, you hearing everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what I'm saying, everything in Chicago is like somebody just letting all the beans out, like. Yeah, G Harbo, they, you know what I'm saying, saying he was doing fraud. Fraud, yeah. A lot about some things, you know what I'm saying, some private jets. Private jet and shit. But I'm like, damn, who letting all the shit out in Chicago? Somebody, bro. Like they did in Atlanta. Music industry. They start telling everybody on Atlanta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Indianapolis does not buy tickets early. It's Modesto, it's a walk up town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Mike said it perfectly. Geographically, it makes more sense for you to go to Louisville or Chicago, unfortunately, because they got two places that facilitate concerts bigger than here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is it called now? Little Baby wouldn't tell on Basie's life right now. Gainsbridge, Respectfully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'd just be listening to certain shit. It's better outside. People was hurt though, so he couldn't really give us the performance. He couldn't perform. He hurt right now.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, these was about a dough, man. Somebody said they were looking for some concours. I said, let me go get these. Not the DMPs though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brung the school. I was like, nah, you gotta get that edge. He got the came back with the edge the next day. The police came two weeks later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know how many people play basketball and the window is so small to get to the NBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm like, you might not make it. The goal is to make it, but you might not, but you need to capitalize on what you got going on now. Like if you killing now, you making it now and somebody want to give you a million dollars right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead and take care of some stuff that you might not buy. If you go to the real world, you might, you're not making a million dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but if you can make it right now, get it, start your life, get a head start on life. I'm cool with that, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's going to happen, but if you one of them dogs and you get an NIL money, it's a good chance. If somebody willing to pay you a million dollars, a good chance, you probably going to make it to the league. Like you not getting that much money and you like, nah, it's a good chance. You probably going to go to another level. So man, it's to each his own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I got a different approach to it, like a different question to you. Like the you was so big. Like when I remember watching Miami when I was younger, it was like, y'all was like an NFL team. It was like everybody wanted to go there. I wanted to go there and play basketball because we should have win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, do you think Miami will ever get back to like how y'all had it? I mean, it's cool, but y'all had it to elite level. It was like an Alabama is right now, even though they struggled a little bit this year, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why not? That ain't my type, I ain't a highlight, like I ain't a that type person. You are a discipline. Nah. I went to Wake Forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Hold on. So what made you go that route? Cause uh, only one person I know. John Lamar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good, that's a good thing you just said, cause it was a thing going around social media recently and Steven Jackson was saying he would rather have 50 million in a championship instead of a hundred million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll get my ring up and take a max deal contract any day of the week. But you saying that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remind me what he was saying on the video, like, he came from nothing. If you give him 20 million dollars, he can make 20 million dollars and 250 million, or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was up, man. I was up with a whole bunch of people who had a whole bunch of money so I didn't have to spend any money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So all the old heads, Josh, Joe, Jamal, they all took care of me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I went out with them and then Mike Bibby was my vet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Mike Bibby wanted to go out all the time. Like he was again, a little later in his career. So he was like, he was outside. So anytime I wanted to go anywhere, he like, let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I ain't know nothing different. So when I got older, like going out still to this day, like now my wife, she'd be like, where are you going now? I'm like, man, I just got moved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, they just live life, like, somehow I gotta get there. Like, I don't know, they lead a phantom outside, he wasn't trippin'. Then you see Edge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you see em, they just livin', they havin' joy in their stuff, and I'm like, man, they doin' somethin' right, life treatin' em good, cause...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some other people I know, they can't go to the club still, or they going to the club and like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I respect what you're saying about your mom. I'm a little different. I gotta tell my mama no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all better mother effing pay me. I'm like that. I'm like, he is nuts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all think that team can win without me? I'm here! Pay me! Pay me!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I have to say, I'm sorry to bring that up, but as a little more fan, it's one of the few things I got to hold on to, you know what I'm saying? They try to take that championship away from us and act like we didn't all watch that fucking game on Monday night. Quit playing with us. Cause y'all cheaters. So what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope we did, Chief. I hope everything that they said was true. Shout out to Niall Money, we've been on that type of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, but you know, typically we ask, especially when we get hoopers on the show, that origin. Shit, we know your origin, man. Like, how was it to grow up, you know what I'm saying, as the son of Big Dog, the legend, especially in the 219?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How was that, like, influential in your upbringing? Obviously with that being your pops and growing up kinda in the NBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was going to ask you about that. I was going to say, you know what I'm saying, a lot of people who don't even have no credentials and niggas who just be on Instagram clicks all day be pressuring their firstborn kids to fucking get on the basketball court.

[Assistant] Did you have that type of pressure or was it just like he let you fuck with it but then it came time and just like nah, you don't see what I see, like we bout to get to work type shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dog, listen, I-I grew up playing baseball, and now I take a fastball to the rib cage, where I catch a motherfuckin' up the middle linebacker to the- Nah, dog. Like, I don't see how people play football and wake up and play that shit the next day. Yeah, no way. Yeah, that shit's great. You gotta be billful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? So before we get to college and high school, how was AAU for you? Cause you had...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had some young hitters on your team, but you came in a time period where high school basketball was really getting its, uh, shine, especially on social media. And y'all asked why F-Team was crazy. Y'all was cheating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause you can wear Nikes off the court. Ain't no Under Armour shoes you was gonna wear off that court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's one of the things you forget about, like, it wasn't too far ago, but he was a problem in high school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man child, bro. And then when it came out, I was like, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all not telling me AJ Garcia was a high school player, bro. I still don't believe it, bro. Where are the documents?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was cold, bro. He was a grown man. He had just got off a shift at the steel mill, bro, put on that red jersey and gave niggas work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, man, high school, you know what I'm saying? You said pop started telling you, ay, it's time to really get it in. Like, what was your, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was that switch like for you when it became basketball? It's kind of like fun. He's like, nah, we, we, I'm going to show you, you don't see how I would. Now I'm about to show you how to get it in. Like was you going through them type of drills with practice or he was just letting you work out with your coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was done. Oh, you good. Just move back so we can hear you better. Yep. This way. Yes, sir. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. Nah, for real, respect. Cause like you said, you made your own jump shot. Like you had to go through and make your own jump shot to get to the next level. And like you said, that hard work and that dedication got you your offers. We gonna talk about some schools, you know what I'm saying? It's crazy how we got


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two Indiana All-Stars, you know what I'm saying? Two pros in here that did not go to Indiana school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going to the schools that got the dual, like, the footballs lit in, the basketball lit hit different. Especially in the, like, in the Midwest, cause them code, the people, white people don't care about the code. They gonna turn up regardless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is like, this is the summer of your junior year or your senior year already? This is my junior year. Your junior year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. I mean, that's, I just think that it's crazy that we look, especially now in the tournament, like we got so many kids from the city that be out here getting their shit off and they're not in any of the homeschools. Y'all should probably work on that shit. Shout out to Nigel Pack. There's no reason these good ass players should not be escaping the state. In a, in a dream scenario.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] IU would be a Nike school and have a coach that just recruited in like central Indiana and the region and they could probably win a national championship every four or five years if you just recruited in the bucket city. But, fuck them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you went to a crazy situation, cause Michigan, they was already solid, you know what I'm saying? Who came into Michigan with y'all? Cause y'all had a whip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn, I forgot to know Robinson. What's the nigga name? Shoelace or something like that? He had it cracking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's so crazy, like we talk about the NIL money, like especially at fuckin' Michigan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell yeaah. So, you know what I'm saying? Like you said, unfortunately we talked about what happened, but how was it making it to the Final Four? Cause like, a lot of people don't get to experience that run in the NCAA tournament. Like, what's that feeling like? That's probably like, probably-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're going into the draft situation, you know what I'm saying? You had a chance to leave earlier than you even expected for school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This tells us about that process of how you like, you know, that summer going into your sophomore year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We kinda like, oh damn, I could have been his, and then he like, fuck it, I'm going back to school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How was that process for you thinking that out? And then when did you decide, alright, I'm going to go ahead and balance?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even like if he went to camp, he would've went to camp with Minnesota and he killed Levine. Cause Levine wasn't good his first year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I be understandin' cosplayers now that the portal's open. They be like, oh, why is everybody jumpin' in the portal? Cause y'all don't know what be goin' on from year to year, bro. People gotta make the best decisions for them as players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coaches can leave with no penalty, but y'all be trippin' when the kid make a good decision for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have an issue with that, do you let, like they said, turn to me? Cause right now, every team that's good right now is because of transfers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shut the fuck up. So like you said, your first year in the league, you was in Minnesota.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, that's crazy, because if you think about all those guys you're talking about now, they're all in different situations right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew he was talented. You smoking it early, I'll give you a props. You did say that early. I always thought he was nice, but I didn't think he was going to be as cold as Wig was. I always thought Wig was cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. Did you, when you was away, you was just working out with the team? Nah, I lived in the gym in college. I didn't start, I took basketball seriously when I got to college. In high school, I don't give a fuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when I got to college, I lived in the gym. It was nothing to do with workforce. So I shot 2000 shots a day. Me and this dude named Gary Clark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. Yeah, that's all we did. I literally, I never went out. I never went to, I went to two parties my whole time. Damn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless we went to a club after a game, we went to the end club like twice or something like that. But I never went out. Like I didn't even talk. I walked around with my headphones on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you ask anybody on Wake Forest campus, they'd be like, that nigga Teague was probably weird. Like, I ain't speak to nobody. Football niggas, but what up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy though, cause when you think about it, like, that sounds like real casual that y'all just saying that shit, but that's really incredible. The niggas really like lived in the gym.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to be that dedicated to separate yourself in those times and situations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, you know what I'm saying, you gotta, you gotta represent from the 219 right now. We got some things going on because the outside world disrespects Indiana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it a different talk now? All right, you growing, you got your own bread, you in the league. Is the conversation changing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously he's still guiding you, but how did those conversations evolve?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that spark is like you said, you see your pops do it his way and the right way at the same time. So now it's like, all right, you in the league now, this conversation is different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what's important, man. Like you see now, so many athletes, we don't hear too many of those typical stories of like, athletes going broke no more because it's, it's draining. Like, I don't want to be on 30 for 30, but I got all these avenues and there's people to teach you. But like you said, you went back to school and you ain't go to Ivy Tech, no disrespect to Ivy Tech, but you went to the fucking Ivy league, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can only imagine the last time I went back and looked at a fucking textbook. And like you said, when you was back in school, you was windmilling on shit. You were, you know what I'm saying? You was getting your grades, but you weren't trying that Dean's lipstick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause like you said, the way that they break down companies, you'd be like, damn, they just shit on a 200 million dollar company. Dog, I'd be happy if I had a 10 million dollar company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you see that difference and you like, oh okay, you gotta play this game. That shit crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like we'd be, we'd be championing the craziest shit and we'd be the reason when it dies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, we really be having all the control shit. If niggas got on TV and we say, ay, we ain't fuck with George no more, and really stuck to it, it's gonna be a difference. They gon' sit on the store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ain't gotta wait for your Jordans in the mail. You can go to River Oaks and pick them shits up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a couple questions for you, you know what I'm saying, as far as your pro career, what was the favorite team you've played on so far? The Warriors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fuck with clay tops and tubs, that's always been one of my favorite players, but you can tell like the culture, like you said, I hate when people say that word, but you can tell like the culture, like the relationships they got there, like that shit genuine, but especially like y'all who play on multiple teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go from places that's really lit like that and then you go to another organization that's like, nah, these niggas ain't on this at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn. I thought you was on that team. Nah, I wasn't on that team. The year I was there, that's when you was like coming into your own. And I'm like, why y'all don't start this for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to Miles A. Ellis. CJ Miles, yeaah. Did we have CJ Watson at some point too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, we talked about that. I just want to open to the idea of being like that guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They love Gordon here. They still do. I wasn't mad. No, they, we played the Hornets last week and I heard the Brockers, they was like, Gordon Hay would be a great addition. I swear to God. No. No. Y'all could use it. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't ever play for the Places, but they were determined to get that motherfuckin' 3-1-7 and god damn it, that's what they gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't miss hard, cause like, I don't know what they're gonna do with the duck contest. Hopefully they get this shit back, cause last year definitely wasn't it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was your undivided poke, especially with you having a baby, taking care of that situation. How is it back now? Are you feeling the love back into the game? Or did it ever leave? Or do you feel rejuvenated with it again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, you got a good ass training facility. You are here in vacation mode. You know what I'm saying? Open the gym doors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what people don't understand a lot, and you can attest to this. It's not that people don't like doing their profession in sports, whatever it is, but the business of sports is totally different than the outside person would ever understand. Like you said, you got traded on a team flight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just like me driving to work and motherfuckers telling me, yeah, before you pull up, don't. Like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 48, which I got 48 hours to report, and you might fuck around and have to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Across the fuckin' nation, I gotta find somewhere to live between practice like you said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me come out here in my first game and they'll throw me in. I ain't doing shit and I ain't in a rotation for two weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like a parallel. I don't even know how it go, but Bobby needed 10 rebounds for everybody to win. So you know how Bobby got the little chant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That shit came from that. Cause nigga, he was bout to win a par like so like, he needed one more rebound and Bud was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's ugly. Take that down. Do y'all care about the players? Take this down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously you know your pops is a legend, you know what I'm saying? He had a particular Philly quote unquote legend a little bit shook, speaking about how people get on microphones and talk crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that even though it is hilarious, some of these niggas who have podcasts while they're playing have to chill out for a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The live updates after games be crazy. Cause they be talking insane about games that we know really don't be better. I fuck with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fuck with it to an extent, but I be like, some of that shit be like, alright yo, like we got to chill out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Draymond shit be funny, cause Draymond know how to do that shit. Pat Bev be hit or miss with me, even though I fuck with Pat Bev. Hey, I think it all funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, why the fuck you taking me out last night? He was like, perfect, I need to talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's crazy. Was this the same GM that got you there? I was going to say, there's no way that could have happened in that year of timespan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But a GM would much rather risk three years of almost being right than wasting it after one year of being wrong because then his ass is getting axed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, so many wonderful stories. Before we get out of here, we gotta hear, man, the iconic, the iconic story, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 219 legend on Stephen A's ass, man. Where the fuck did this happen from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn, that's crazy. Like you said, you got him in A grade. Have you got him in 2k yet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, what's that, when you made it to the league, what's that league moment for you, like, off the court?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like we, you know, everybody go out that first time, he be like, damn, I'm really in the league. Cause that dude just spent $50,000. You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all was in Minnesota, y'all was young, so like, did y'all have a moment like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to Mo Williams. Never forget he came to Baker's Life and gave us 55. Man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could not believe it. I was just like, what the fuck? 55? It was random too? It was a weeknight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And shit, you got a, you got a bra, you got a kawaii, you said KD was that nigga that you just like fuck yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who liked the least expected person that you was hard? Like, you had the guard up, nobody would think like, man, he would really like that. But we know everybody in the league is good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wore number 25, you never forget, he was wearing number 25 cause I thought this nigga was trash. Boy, he was trash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wouldn't say my name. Like, he wouldn't acknowledge me. Like, you know how you go shake niggas' hands before the game? I'm like, yo, what up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, the media was like, yeah, the T guy, he was really getting in the lane, you know, penetrating.

[Assistant] That's crazy. Ava, man, we appreciate you sliding once again. Congratulations, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely, man. Just whatever you do, just don't go back to the Pacers, man. We want you to thrive, man. Get away from the Pacers and get away from Minnesota, man.

[Assistant] I don't mean people try to live that way, you'll see nigga 38 still wearing an essential outfit, trying to look like, shit I'm 35, shit I wear sweatpants every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, nah, I mean, I don't dress as young as them, but I'm just saying we all try to stay pretty relevant though. So, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing a 35 year old with like a 25 year old, I really couldn't tell the difference. I wouldn't even know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dating a girl in college at what age? Like 21. At what age?

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah bro, don't, you should, don't give a gift and ask for it back, that's what. Bro, bro, then give the gift.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's in her name, it's in your name, it don't matter. Are you still mad about buying her a car and when y'all done, she leave with it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but I'm saying you can, the more money you have, the more petty you can become. Oh, that's a fuck, that's a fuck. So yeah, her moving that crib, her mother put that in her ear like, baby girl, you really can get this house up off here. Oh, I can?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so how does this basketball shit work? Because maybe I'm disconnected. Because you just said...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This niggas the best center ever if he wins. 3 MVP's in a row? But I thought y'all say it matters if you win. Y'all putting niggas on pedestals cause they win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like vouching for the old niggas, but Dikembe Mutombo was decent, bro. Aaron McKee was decent, bro.

[Assistant] This is Jocko podcast number seven with Echo Charles and me, Jocko Willink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And its extensive cleared patches were developing as farms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The village had a couple of rice mills closed for a long time. A school, a dispensary, and a small market next to the school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The market was itself a road junction with houses and huts around. Northeast of the market, a couple kilometers away,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] was the post of the IPKF held in strength north of the market


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was a pond. It's rising embankment facing the post.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dominating the market became a routine, and a gospel for the next battalion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the relieved battalion, in its handing over notes, had mentioned the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the new battalion got into the rut and carried on without once asking why this action was necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So much so that the new units dominating patrols even occupied the same trenches in the same fashion for the same period and checked the population in the same manner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One change it made was to stop occupying the double, the only double story building in the bazaar and instead


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Occupy only the ground level trenches in the midst of the market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second change was to stop searching the nearby school and other buildings, where trenches and bunkers were made, thoroughly before occupying them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The third change over, over a period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] was to stop being inquisitive about the increase or decrease of public attendance in the market, school, and other buildings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The battalion, for months, had not been involved in any kind of encounter. Not even caught or seen a mouse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is Setting the Stage and I'm reading from a book called Assignment Jaffna, which is about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The war, the long civil war in a small country called Sri Lanka. And it's written by a Lieutenant General Sardis Pandey.

[Assistant] And what's interesting about this book, it is a very rare book. In fact, I, after I picked it up and started reading through it, and I figured other people might want to get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I looked on Amazon and it's a rare book that you have to buy from individual buyers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason that I have it is because I bought it on the ground in Sri Lanka in the 90s when I was attached to a seal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unit that went to Sri Lanka to help train.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Called the LTTE, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ilam. It is an ethnic group that lived in Sri Lanka and had been mistreated and had now wanted their own state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This opening of this book or the opening of the chapter that I just read about this ambush is catches a couple things that I think are very important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number one, you heard me say that the new battalion got into this rut and carried on with this mission without once asking why it was necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To remember that when you get tasked with something, you need to ask why you're doing it. You need to understand why you're doing something. Don't just carry on because it's the way it's always been done. Ask that question why. And one of the things that I learned a very hard lesson on, on my first deployment to Iraq,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We would get, you know, we'd get a target that would come down the chain and, and they'd tell us, hey, there's a bad guy in this building. And we would literally get a map.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a cheesy movie, there would be a red X on the target building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that would be the building and we'd go out and hit it and I remember one time we did an operation and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We went and took down this target, the building that had the big red X on it and got the guy that we thought was a bad guy and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyways, to make a long story short, when we got the person back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we interrogated him and went through the intelligence that we had taken from the house. It turned out the guy was not a bad guy. He was just a guy that had been somehow mixed up with, with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With something that ended up giving us this quote unquote intelligence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as I dug, as I pulled the thread on the red X, I figured out that, you know, just someone had


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had three houses to choose from and for whatever reason put the X on that house. They had no real intelligence behind it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I always would tell the story to the young seals and say, you know, find out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's also, going back to the, to the paragraph that I started with, is you could see that these guys were occupying the same trenches, the same fashion, the same period, in the same manner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they're definitely locked into a pattern that is gonna cost them dearly. And it goes on to talk about the only


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Changes, they did make some changes, but all the changes were negative. All the changes were wrong. For instance...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They didn't occupy the one double story building. Now, anyone that knows anything about tactics knows that you want to take the high ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to take the high ground and, and there's a seal that I know that kind of took that thought. And he had a great quote, which was take the high ground or the high ground will take you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, when I talk to people about moral or ethical issues, I use that very quote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take the high ground or the high ground will take you. So you know, stay on the straight and narrow path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On a routine round of the day's morning activity, a patrol of about 20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got out of the post at daybreak, ambled along the road to the rice mill, entered the market, dispersed into the different trenches and bunkers,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got into them and started today's dominating work. And this term dominating basically means


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna go out and control the area. That's what this term is referring to when they use this term, dominating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Majority of the trenches were in the, were adjoining the school premises. The school was closed as it was a holiday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over a period was to stop being inquisitive about the increase or decrease of public attendance in the market. So it's like the Scooby Doo, old Scooby Doo cartoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where, you know, they say, oh it's quiet, a little too quiet. And that's exactly what this is. And this is something that we would see in Ramadi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd see the streets clear out, because the local populace would know somehow that there was an attack that was imminent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Around breakfast, all hell broke loose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The doors and windows of the school suddenly opened fire, and started...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And started incoming into the trenches and bunkers in front, almost at point blank range. Thereafter, grenades were thrown into the trenches. As those few outside the school tried to react, the militants occupying the double story building brought murderous fire on them below. Every movement was picked up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two inch mortar detachment which had stayed off and was still behind across the school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not on its outskirts. So now you have these guys that had been in these positions and clearly the insurgents had set up on them completely and just unleashed and in moments had them gunned down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The post, so the post is where these guys had patrolled to this market from. The post reacted quickly and sent a relief patrol directly to the school through open paddy fields.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The militants had correctly anticipated it. As you can imagine, the militants knew exactly where the post was. They knew when they hit these guys that they would send reinforcements. Here come the reinforcements. They're ready. They gave a searing welcome to the relief party and pinned it to the ground. The post mortars had been deployed and fired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the Bund of the Kalam, which dominating heights of the militants had immobilized the relief column. The militants seemed to be enjoying it as they pumped automatic fire into the post itself from the nearby jungle edge. Although this fire was more in the nature of a gesture of defiance, so they not only were hitting the market,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they had coordinated so that when the market, when they started to attack the, the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Half an hour later, the militants stopped firing as quickly as they had started it and melted away with a booty of weapons from more than a dozen killed and wounded soldiers of the dominating patrol.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So obviously a horrific situation. And this is where the general asks some questions, some poignant questions. What kind of training had this battalion done?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What manner of mental, attitudinal, professional preparation had it achieved before being inducted into the battlefield in Sri Lanka?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What attention did its previous brigade and divisional commanders give to training and attuning it before dispatching it to Sri Lanka?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Force was back in India. Instead of training, what they were doing was, you know, helping with golf events and taking care of the local, uh, sporting events that they were doing, helping with the clubs, cleaning up. They weren't training for war, which is what they should have been doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the CO stood up, resisted peace, peacetime demands made by selfish, peace-oriented, peace-oriented brigade and divisional commanders and trained their men. They and their units did well. They saved


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They saved on casualties and sought the enemy. So he's saying that the commanding officers back in India that stood up and said, look, we're not gonna, we're not gonna manage the golf game. We're not gonna go clean up the club over there. We're gonna train for war. Those guys did well. Where newly inducted units failed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The IPKF, which is the Indian Peacekeeping Force, who


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They ended up not being, I mean, they ended up being on a peacekeeping mission, but they ended up in serious war combat with, with the tune of tigers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're in a leadership position, you should be asking yourself what position are you putting your people into and how well have you trained them for it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you have not trained them for it, then you need to train them for it and also assessing
