[Assistant] I spent a week taking photos by the river during the days and editing photos in the evenings. And then I had to go home for a couple of days. But next time I went to the cabin, my husband Johan and my dog Nanook also joined. Now, my loves are here. What are you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just told you one that he needs to research how to do photography and filming, cause tomorrow I'm gonna need your help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now when I was done with all the product photos of the new jewelry designs, I needed to take photos while wearing them. And I needed Johan to help me out with some photography, since it had gotten too cold to be able to do it all myself. And I also needed him to be a model for some of the designs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was really windy and cold these days and we had to take breaks all the time to keep warm before we could continue again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have more photos to take. And right now it's like, yeah, it's not like you feel to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is some thyme from my garden that I have dried. I actually picked this just a few days ago. I guess it was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's over a month ago since we were in the mountains. And uh, yeah, time has passed so fast lately. I, I don't know what's going on really. I just can't keep up with time. I made myself some thyme tea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I didn't understand until now how much the smell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or you go outside and you can smell the snow, or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel that a lot now with Johan. When I hug Johan now, it's like he's not really there. I can feel him physically, but when I can't smell him, it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just horrible. I guess it's because, uh, when we smell something we like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of your human experience and if you would lose your touch and not be able to feel anything and then lose your hearing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really want to thank you all for watching this video and take care of yourself and each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's more, I mean, it's the same thing over and over again, but at least it's more enjoyable to me than the dunk contest. I mean, Julio Rodriguez at 40 something home runs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We literally told this man last week this was going to happen. We literally told him he's gonna go to Vegas and ball out, he's gonna have a 20 point game, and everyone's gonna lose their minds. And that's exactly what is happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The high school kids were hitting the freaky scoreboard at progressive field multiple times. Now put that bat in Aaron Judge's hands. It's manslaughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most impressive I thought was Julio Rodriguez's first round. That was just absolutely insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean. 41 home runs in the first round and doing it at home. There's more pressure on you to do it in front of the home crowd. What's the record? He's not even looking at the ball. He's not even, he's just bow. What's the record? I don't know. It's good for like for a total. No, just for one round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boy, that might be it. I don't remember anyone hitting more than 41, uh, since they went to this format.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the change to, it's been a few years now to the time and the extra time for the longer home runs before it really took a long time before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it was, they could be more particular about the pitch. What's so important about this and you're seeing it now is who's throwing you the pitches. It's so crucial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we saw that with, uh, with Polar Bear last night, uh, with the Mets. I forgot his name. First baseman with the Mets who won it here in Cleveland. Alonzo? Uh, yea, Pete Alonzo. And, you know, they were talking about last night that the guy who was thrown to him, they never had a chance to work together before. His previous two guys who he was going to use couldn't go, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guy that they rolled in there and he was throwing like curves at him and sliders down and away and he couldn't get any lift on the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but what these guys can do on the golf course is unbelievable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I mentioned this before, when the World Series of Golf used to come to Firestone every year, I walked 18 with Tiger, the one, one of his rounds. Did you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeaah, because they give you ropes access so you can get inside the ropes so you can get inside the gallery. It's not like I'm talking to him on it and guiding him on every shot, but you just walked around with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was fascinating just to watch how they think and how they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Set up shots in the next shot and everything, but he hit a shot. I think it was with a seven iron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was 6-9 or 7-9 or something like that. And it went directly over my head. In times, it sounded like a jet taking off. Like I've never heard a golf ball sound like that. It was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was incredible. And like, I will never forget that sound that that ball made coming off his club. I never made a ball sound like that. It was an iron, no less, not even a drop. This was, uh, this would have been twenty...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 12, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2013. I was just trying to think about that. I think it was before. I think it was before all that. But it's a beautiful course. Firestone is an incredible course. It's a pleasure. I would encourage you just to go out and just enjoy the day and walk the course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, when Kobe's saying that, he's telling you he's not going to play for us this year. That's what he's telling you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not trying to tell you that Imani Bates is never going to be a productive NBA player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm, I'm not going to cap a kid at 19 at what he can and can't do, put a ceiling on what he can and can't do. I'm pessimistic that he'll ever be a actual contributor, but I mean, he's got a lot of learning and growth to do, but I'm talking like this year, people talking about this year, he's going to be the starting star forwarder. He's going to be, no, he's not. If you go back and look at,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The history of second round picks, even Draymond Green, even Jokic, these guys don't play their first year very, very little, very sparingly because they got a lot to learn. There's a reason that they were picked where they were. Now, that doesn't mean that they can't learn and develop and grow into something in year two, three, four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sam Merrill is a good example. Max Druse in Miami was one of that, was that guy at one time and it took


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 3-4 years for these guys to sort of figure it out and put it together. Sam Merrill's now hit 3 years in the NBA. That's a much different, I mean Sam Merrill I think is like 26 years old. Imani Bates is 19. Like just think about that, the difference in 7 years. So, I mean, listen, could Merrill come in and help them at some point this year? I'd have more faith in that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I would Amani Bates right now, just because Meryl's been around for a few years now. If it's going to work for him, now's when it's going to work. Going into I think year four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to look at one guy in summer league and say, okay, well who's it going to be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it's Amani Bates. I just think there's too much to learn. He doesn't play the game the right way. We told you this was going to happen. We told you he's going to go ball out in Vegas because it's set up for hoopers like him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't mean he can play within the context of the NBA. Doesn't mean he's, he understands team basketball because he doesn't. That's what he has to learn this year. And then let's see, let's see how this year goes and we'll come back in a year or two and see if he can be a useful piece. I just don't see it happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, possibly, maybe, but there's a difference in getting a couple garbage time minutes and being a contributor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think he's going to start the year. He's going to start the year in Canton. He's going to play in the G League.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the high school and where he was ranked in high school, that's what has everybody so excited. If, if Jonathan Krauss had that game the other night, would people be as excited? No. But it's because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they see the potential in him. I'm just telling you, I talked to teams that had him on their do not touch list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like more than one team had Amani Bates on the, we aren't touching that guy. So there's a long, and that doesn't mean that he can never be a productive pro. I'm just telling you, if you're expecting him to be a contributor on this team this season, you're going to be sorely disappointed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know how long it took him? About 12 years and four teams to get there. And he was a first round pick. Like a high first round pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you have high first round picks out there, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 80, 85% of guys in summer league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To what happens in an NBA game because the talent on the floor, the speed of the game moves so much faster in the NBA as compared to summer league and just the overall talent and it's just, it's an impossible comparison to make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Training program, strength and conditioning program, he is going to get bigger. I don't know about the balance, I think that is what it is at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I gotta go through the list. Uh, I mean, well, I guess I'll get around to answering that, but Strew says you're starting three. You have to look at the watch. It's buzzing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we know the other four. So we got five. So we got five. Keris Levert off the bench. Six. Yang off the bench. Seven. That's seven. Rubio I think is going to get first opportunity. Yup. Is eight. Yup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess Okoro and Wade, Dean Wade become 9 and 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't asked anyone about Isaiah in quite a while, but when they signed him, the feeling around the league was, well, that's just a favor to heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wolves, wolves. And finally, photos, photos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now there are crazy ways of making plural forms in English. And there are a lot of irregular forms. I want you to know about them. So let's get started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again guys, there are so many irregular plural forms in English. And I'm afraid there are no particular rules. You just need to learn the words. But I'm going to try and tell you about the most common words. Okay? Let's review some words together. Okay, so for example, we have a singular noun which is woman. Its plural form is women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A person becomes people. A mouse becomes mice. Okay, let's move on to pronunciation now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very good guys. Moving on. Tooth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very good guys. And the last one, mouse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now there are words that have the exact same singular and plural forms. They are not common, but you need to know a few. Let's take a look together. As you can see, sheep is the singular form.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you will say, I see one sheep. But also, I see two sheep. The exact same word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's go back for pronunciation. I want you to repeat after me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good job guys. Let's move on now to other irregular forms. Some nouns are never singular. We always use their plural forms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a few common ones for you guys. Let's have a look. jeans pants glasses sunglasses clothes scissors pajamas So you will say, I have some jeans. Or, I have scissors. But you cannot say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's now look at other irregular plural forms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now just a few words about nouns in English that have Latin and Greek origins. Their plural forms are very weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just a few words that I think you should know. First, we have words ending in A. Their plural form will end in A-E. For example, antenna becomes antennae. alumna, alumnae


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is becomes ease. For example, analysis, analyses. Diagnosis, diagnoses. And finally, words ending in –on and in –a. Criterion, criteria. Phenomenon, phenomena.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These plural forms are very difficult, guys. Even native speakers make a lot of mistakes. So don't worry too much about them. I just wanted to give you a little taste of Latin and Greek plurals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's move on to example sentences now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay guys, I have a few example sentences for you. It's a great opportunity to practice saying irregular plural forms in English.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, be very careful to use proper pronunciation as well. Let's start. First, my sister has one child. My brother has two children. Repeat after me. My sister has one child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a quiet person, so I don't talk to many people. Please repeat after me. I'm a quiet person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Repeat after me please. Did you catch one fish?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next sentence. I have one pair of glasses and two pairs of sunglasses. Repeat after me. I have one pair of glasses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has one cactus in his front yard, but many cacti in his backyard. Repeat after me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has one cactus in his front yard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But many cacti in his backyard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope you now have a better understanding of irregular plural forms in English. There are many of them. Not many rules to follow. A lot of words to memorize. But I'm sure with a little bit of practice, you can do it.

[Assistant] Where are you living now, Art? I am, uh, sort of between, I'm mostly in London, but I've just done a play in New York and I love New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. And I, I, yeah, I love it there, so it's... Is that your favorite place to be? It is, yeah, I think so. Like, I'm always gonna be very proud to be from London, but it's a great part of my, particularly when I get to do a play there and just like, live in New York for a few months, it's just, it's very, very nice. How old were you the first time you went to New York?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you are, when did you finish doing the play? So I finished a couple of weeks ago, uh, yeaah, two or three weeks ago. And yeaah, I've just been kind of doing press for this show and just like hanging around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, so six days a week, uh, eight performances over the course of those six days. So you'll do two, two matinee days and yea, eight shows a week. It's great. Is that good? It is good. Yea, I feel like it's, I feel like I get better as an actor every time I do stage. I feel like it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, even though it's only 85 minutes, our play was only 85 minutes long, it's still weirdly like tiring and you feel like you've put your sort of work into something. So yea, no, it's very satisfying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little bit. I mean, I think like, it's basically the same thing. You're trying to be real or, you know, and, and, and, you know, if it's comedy then, I don't know, yeaah. I don't think, I don't think much changes between TV and, and film for me. Maybe it should and I should be, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a, there's a small toy that somebody bought for me because my friends know me well and it's, uh, it's like a little...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not unimpressed by actors, but we just meet each other. You know them all. Yeah, but when it's somebody from like a different world, that's when we all get sort of very, I personally get very nervous and excited. But I'm more likely to like, if it's a director or an actor in the audience or someone who might like give me a job one day, that's when I get nervous. Is that true? That's when I go to a place of just like analysis after every line of just like I'll say a line and they'll be like,

[Assistant] Our good friends at Highness sent us a couple boxes of Chub Crunch and let me tell you, I'm a big cereal guy. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is my favorite cereal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chub Crunch is even better than Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It was absolutely delicious. Every bite, those perfect little cinnamon squares, dusted with just the right amount of sugar, absolutely elite. I can't believe I hadn't tried this before. And the best part is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, yeaah. On the side of the box, it has a picture of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A relative of Nick Chubb, I'm not quite sure, I don't remember exactly, but on the side of the box, it talks about why the S.I.D.S. foundation is so near and dear to Nick Chubb's heart. So it's not only delicious cereal, it is good at any time of the day. Frankly, it tastes way better than built bars. We're being totally honest. That was the other food we pushed. This actually good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trust me. Buildbar's gone. We don't have to worry about Buildbar anymore. This is the good stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that dude's like 6'8 and growing at 12 years old, so he could probably house seven boxes of this at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trust me. Okay. Phenomenal. And one more time for the people if you want your own box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I want to read this now before we get into other stuff, because once we get into this other stuff, we can't go back. But Super Chats are brought to us by PCC Airfoils, looking for a job with career advancement and great benefits while PCC Airfoils is a leading.

[Assistant] Devoid, Devoid Arch, Devoid Archangel, Devoid Archangel, it's in one, there's no spaces. Did you guys see the FanDuel parlay for the Guardians game last night? It had MiloStraw hitting a home run in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? He went all of last year without a home run, right? Did he really? He hasn't had a home run in forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Myles Straw, Tivus has been in the league since 2018. He has five career home runs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay. Alright. Alright, let's start with some football now. Let's get into football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after this, we'll show you the teams that missed the playoffs to give everyone the pool of teams to choose from for the upcoming playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are in no particular order. These are just teams that did not make the playoffs in 2022.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so the first slide, and once again, this is strictly in no order, just the teams. Let's take the first one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next, let's go to the NFC now, with some teams that I think are a lot of, eh, the commanders. The Lions, I think, have a chance. Packers, Bears, and Cardinals, I all think, are gonna stink this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say that back, he's technically played in 10 games, he's made one start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A four pack of teams left that missed the playoffs last year to talk about quickly the Rams Buccaneers Falcons and Panthers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're close, but there is a much better chance that the Buccaneers end up with the first overall pick in next year's draft than they do of making the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Caleb Williams and Drake May would have been the first two quarterbacks drafted this year if they were eligible to come out. I gotta watch this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geebush, does it change your opinion on Drake May if you knew he was a five-star kid at a high school who committed to Alabama first and then transferred out when Bryce Young was there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll say, let's get back to the question of hand here though. So we've gone through the teams. Okay. We've given a lot of teams chances. Do the Browns have the best chance?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're gonna eliminate, so we're gonna take off the Steelers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that means we have five teams for this conversation. The Browns, the Jets, the Lions, the Packers, the Rams. Which team? And the Falcons. Shout out to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think part of the reason, I think part of the reason people have such a hard time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His highest career comp- I'm gonna read you also. Under 60. Yeah. As a rookie, 44%. 54% his second year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the guy's ridiculous. G. Bush said earlier that the Browns may have three players who are the best individual players at their position. Yeah. The Jets, I mean, Garrett Wilson's not the best wide receiver in the league when he's close, but Sauce Gardner might very well be the best cornerback and Quinton Williams might be the best defensive tackle in all football too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was bugging Tyvis for the Falcons pick. It honestly wouldn't shock me if the Falcons made the playoffs, but I wouldn't bet on them as more than the other teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna move to the next topic and I came across something the other day that frankly shocked me. I saw a tweet from Warren Sharp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That said, the Browns have the fourth highest paid wide receiver room in all of football. They are paying their wide receivers this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 39 million dollars, the same price the Miami Dolphins are paying their wide receivers, and when you compare receiver room, Dolphins to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Browns, I think we'd all agree Miami probably gets a pretty significant edge in that margin considering they have Tyree kill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's start with this, it's a two part question, we'll start with this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you shocked to learn the Browns at the fourth highest paid receiver room in football? And is this a receiver room that deserves to be one of the highest paid in football?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said they were fourth, Mike. They're fifth. Tied for fifth with Miami. Oh, tied, my bad. Tied for fifth. They were fourth in the line. Does it matter if they're fifth or fourth? Essentially, it's still...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the outside, listen, I think Zay Flowers has a chance to be a pretty good player. He was their first round pick this year. Bateman we've seen flashes from, but he can't stay healthy. And OBJ is a giant question mark. Like they have three question marks and one solid answer. But again, the Braves have all question marks, except for Amari. Their question marks are smaller than Baltimore's question marks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10's Tampa Bay, 9 Buffalo, 8 Vegas, who's on the list, 7 Minnesota, 6 Dallas, 5 Seattle, 4 San Francisco, 3 Miami, 2 Philly, and 1 Cincinnati.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I guess the question with this is, obviously the Browns are paying a lot to their wide receiver room. Tied for fifth with Miami, not fourth, my apologies, fifth. Do you need elite wide receivers to win a Super Bowl?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well it was that team and then the next year's Alabama team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was, well, the Zier Mac Jones, Davonta Smith, Najee Harris, their other receipt, was it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 1980, so it has happened, and you're right, the Cardinals did, it's happened four times before. Uh, in 89, the Redskins, Art Monk, Gary Clark, and Ricky Sanders. 2014, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and Your Guy Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I said, it's only happened four times in NFL history with trios of a thousand. It's only happened 11 times in NFL history, trios of 900. So it's very uncommon to have three guys put up numbers because it involves staying healthy. It involves enough targets, enough yards, enough passing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But with that, it is 12.05 and that means we are officially entering the lunch hour of the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show, which as always is sponsored by Colleague Company's championship. It is happening next week at the famous Firestone Country Club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Akron, I'll be down there on Tuesday. Jay and Earl will be there on Wednesday interviewing and speaking with some of your favorite senior tour golfers. I know you guys are hyped about that. We can't wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And guys, what are you expecting? Oh, real quick before we do that. Yep. Skilly just gifted 20 memberships. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure I've seen his name in the chat before, but Skilly, you are an MVP. We appreciate you, Skilly. Good looks to you. We appreciate you. You are the MVP of the day. Guys, what do you expect to see from one? Let's start with Imani Bates, then we'll go around the horn on some other guys, but what do you expect from Imani Bates tonight in his Summer League debut for the Cavs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, G real quick, I'm glad you said that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cavs game is going on at the same time as the Spurs, uh, Hornets game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, to both points, no, you're right. It doesn't matter. Here's something that everyone's taking into consideration. A. It's Summer League and B.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't let Summer League change your opinion of a player. If you liked a guy before Summer League and he plays bad, you should still like him. Just let it confirm your thoughts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, next. Who's this a picture of?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As far as fitting into an offensive system, this is less of what can he do right now, individually with the ball in his hands. We know he can do that.

[Assistant] Can he fit within the threshold of an offense that is primarily guard dominant, pick and roll heavy with Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Bates is in with those guys, he cannot play the same way he plays and fit with those two. He's gonna have to adapt his playstyle to fit what the Cavs do offensively. And G, and I know you love Bates, I like Bates too, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has to play more like a Dean Wade than what he currently does to fit into this NBA


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is actually interesting, real quick. Someone asked me, and I'm gonna, I hope he doesn't mind if I call him out, but I'm gonna call him out real quick. Jeff Koomin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he tweeted at me the other day, and we were talking about Amani Bates, and if you DM me your tweet, I usually go back and forth. And he was like, I think Amani Bates is going to be a really solid pro, I bet you he has an 8 year career, all these top prospects last forever in the NBA. And I was like, yea they do, because they're first round picks. This, once again, this is not a shot at Amani Bates, this is just a fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the last decade, he's the only top three high school recruit to not go in the first round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only one, the second lowest pick was this year 27th Nick Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dunno, Brandon Miller was tied to a murder this year. His gun was used to kill somebody. He was the second pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think a team would have been more likely to take a flyer on him, but once again, he did not drop because of the gunshot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I could just tell you what I heard talking from guys in the NBA. It echoed what Jason said. Amani Bates is a super talented Hooper, has to learn how to become a basketball player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's gonna ball out tonight because this is a setting that fits his style perfectly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No defense, because all these guys want to come back and have 24 points in the box score. This fits a Monty Bates style of play perfectly, and I do expect, and it won't change my opinion what I feel on them, good or bad, but I do expect a Monty Bates to come out and put on a show. I really do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's unfair because every wing got overpaid. It's a premium position in the league. Bruce Brown, people talk about him as a mid-level guy, he got 22 and a half in Indiana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There have been very, very, very few free agents from outside the Cavaliers organization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, he's a smart team defender. He's not a great individual defender, but he's a smart team defender, and you hope that at least...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His witty and his ability to play within the system. He comes from Miami where they play zone, they play one three ones, they switch, they trap, they blitz. He comes from that system. You have to hope that he's smart enough to be able to help. He's not a great individual on ball defender, but with Mobley and Allen protecting the rim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I actually have a pretty damn good help defender though. That's never a great on-ball defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really liked it. Yeah, you weren't here Monday. We did a whole in-depth thing. I think Niang is, and I told G this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The perfect third big for how the Cavs play. Because A.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was one of the best spot-up corner three-point shooters in the league over the last couple years. He shot 52%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the corner last year. You run a pick and roll. Right. You now could have a roller and you could have two guys in the corners who the defense can't help off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been a 40% 3-point shooter his entire career. Gives you pick and pop options, which they've never had with Nobody and Alan. And even though he's not a great rebounder, he's a really smart player. He comes with playoff experience and he's played in 46 playoff games. That's more like Donovan Mitchell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Magic have about, you could have 15 players on a roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have about seven or eight guys they draft in the top ten in the last three years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess not. I mean, I was surprised they waived them too, but they have, the roster is so weird. They have so many guys. Jonathan Isaac is still on that roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Making 22 million dollars a year. So I don't think they'd be the favorite with Spolster. They'd certainly be better. It's a coaching upgrade for sure. But to say they'd be the favorite, I'd have to put them over other teams. And I'm just not quite sure. Right now today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think what Miami did is not sustainable. That is completely- I think you're right. A one hit one. I agree with you. I would say third. They're ahead of Philadelphia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, I don't think Tibbs, at the rate he plays his guys, that any year with Tibbs is sustainable. He has one good year everywhere he's been and then he just has to go back down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's too low and also one thing that we all, not saying we are overlooking per se, but one thing that doesn't get talked about enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last year was the first year that Mitchell and Garland played together. And I know you guys should say you put guys together, whatever, they'll make it work. There is a familiarity and a more cohesiveness to playing with somebody, especially when you're both ball-dominant guards that I think helps this team propel a step forward. I think the Cavs are gonna be better this year than they were last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the potential, cause what Horford did in the postseason last year, once again, unsustainable. He's so old, he was so healthy last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What else did they do? Did Boston do anything else? Uh, they lost Grant Williams. That hurts. Which does hurt. Yeah. They brought in poor Zingus, which if poor Zingus can stay healthy, which he did last year, he had a phenomenal season in Washington last year, played 65 games and the nine he missed at the end of the season were


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tanking injuries purposes. So he actually was healthier than even the 65 games. If he's healthy, that gives them a legitimate stretch five with Mormon protection and they can count on Rob.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so Mike Hargrove had a family issue. He asked if he can reschedule to another time, so Coach will not be joining us today. We will get him on another time, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last night we'll talk about Guardians for a sec, and before we get to the game, did you guys see?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fight in the AAA game that George Valera was involved in. Steve, take Tagboard Full, play the video. If anyone missed it, this is George Valera getting in a fight with whoever the sounds are. The Nashville sound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was a benches clearing, punches thrown, all hands on deck type brawl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, real quick. Two minutes. Guardians did beat the Royals yesterday. They mashed three home runs. Love to see it. Any takeaway from the game? It was the Royals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to ESPN, the last three games, it's Savali, Gavin Williams, and Bieber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't a beef. We'll find your flair adobe thing in a sec. I need you to watch this. I promise you I'm locked in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well this was from Greg Newsome's softball game we caught up with Juan Thornhill, the Browns' new safety. Super cool dude. Steve, let's hit it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there was a movie about your life, who's playing Juan Thornhill?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never mind who this is. They were tracking you and they found us instead. Damn, Alicia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's just say that once upon a time, we worked it out together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Graze once told me we could change the IMC from the inside, but it's only gotten worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Barker was my wingman in the tight wars. I'm gonna kick all your asses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You heard him, team. This is a battle of attrition. Kill every IMC soldier you can find, so the tech teams can get Fish a clear signal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All militia forces, we're out of time. Rendezvous at the evac point and wait for pickup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bish, this is McAllen. You got Barker on the line? He's standing by, Mac. Nice fireball, Mac. Needs a beer specially. You didn't think we could do it. Nah, I just didn't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, time to care, Barker. Time to do your part. Show Fish how to plot a course of the Boneyard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Open your eyes, Marcus. You could have stopped me fifteen years ago. Instead, you gave me the ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is James McAllen. If you're hearing this, then I'm already dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each day, more IMC garrisons will fall to uprisings, their calls for reinforcements unanswered. Though the IMC will remain a force to be reckoned with, each day, more and more will rally to our cause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want to say hello to middle America. I hope you're keeping warm. Because right now, the heartland is in the grip of something called the polar vortex, which is a punishing weather phenomenon and I believe the new flavor of powerade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just look at the temperature map of the United States. Look at that. The super cold purple there in the middle. That's a 50 below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Windchill, okay? It stops at Duluth, Minnesota up by Canada and then it goes, you know what, let's just jam our frost tongue down on Chicago, right down there. Let's just get all up on that Lake Michigan crevice down there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That idea came from Chicago Fire Commissioner Pyro Billy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was there when, uh, when the number one, the coldest night of all time happened in Chicago. This is negative 25, I think, this morning in Chicago. Negative 27, January 20th, 1985, my first winter in Chicago. Okay, I'm from South Carolina. I did not know from winter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took a cup of water that night. I took a cup of water that night, and this is true. No one believes this is true. I threw it against the window. When it was negative 27, none of the water made it to the window sill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to offer some cold weather tips to the good people of Chicago right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey there. Chicagoans know that our cold is the worst, okay? Here's how you keep your polisassage from snapping off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First, take all your old mustaches, sew them into a scarf, okay? In Chicago, you shed one mustache every year. It's like antlers with deer, okay? Second, if you're really cold, slice open and crawl inside a visiting Packers fan, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After 96, after the events of uh, summer of 96, we had to go back to the drawing board and decide on a strategy. And uh, and we had to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think of what we consider to be a real strategy to get us to Baghdad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole government turned into two camps. One of them is totally opposed to Chalabi, and the other one was so pro-Chalabi. And I think the problem we began to face was that, you know, everybody almost, almost forgot about the issue of Iraq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, what would it mean if Saddam Hussein falls? And it wasn't. What should they have been thinking about? Iraq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was working with the wrong Iraqis. We're talking about the Iraqis who brutalized, traumatized this nation for 35 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, one sports book in New Jersey is refunding all wagers on the Saints, tweeting, just think of it as good karma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm soon gonna go to bed now. It's been a really long day. I have been awake for so long. So it's gonna be good to get some sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Faisal, are you crazy? It's very risky. If it's a little late in the morning, we'll go straight to Khy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Silence in the court, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sir, after all,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shahin ne mujhe phone kiya tha, aur iss baat ke baare me bataya tha. Aur maine chirag ko inform bhi kiya tha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your analysis is not correct and we're not treated as liberators but as conquerors, and the Iraqis begin to resist, particularly in Baghdad, do you think the American people are prepared?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's actually known as casino banking. One loophole after another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when I started life in banking, it was basically a simple profession, very much like being an executive at an electrical company or some sort of utility. You provided some essential services.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There seems to be no willingness to address the conflict of interest inherent in modern banking. Because that would mean essentially pulling apart the two parts of the bank, the proprietary trading and the client focused businesses. And there is no real energy or traction for dealing with that issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We now somehow believe that finance sort of drives everything. The crisis was an opportunity to change that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ask questions like, what is the role of finance in our economy? What is the role of banks? But I suspect it's very hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's very difficult to change gods. And in the modern age, our god was finance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except it's turned out to be a very cruel and destructive God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody kind of knows in their heart that something's not right, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have the sneaking suspicion that you're not contributing to society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, it was always really easy to say, I know the risks, they know the risks, none of this is our money. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember sending an email to my boss asking, is anybody watching? Does anybody care about this? What, the protests? No. That was the response, you know? I mean, it just wasn't an issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When things like Lehman happen, the unwind process is just mind boggling and nobody can handle it. We decided we would read through and figure out what the rule was trying to do and then sit and try and figure out


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cynic in me will say that even under the best circumstances if this law went through,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all speculative proprietary trading was cut from the banks and they just couldn't do it anymore? They will find something else. They always do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, this is just the start of a shitty night for me. I just need the money he owes me then I can go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little misunderstanding that turned into a real shit show. Don't worry, you saw the best bits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, Sheriff. Wouldn't want to add any difficulty to your night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you showed up, started beating on him. That about cover it, hun?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You alright back there? I mean, your eyes? And the teeth? You're not really supposed to do that, are you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We probably have. We all sort of knew each other at one point or another. But things change, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stop. We don't have to make any more of a thing out of it than it already is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got nothing to give, Sheriff, I checked. Besides, I just swung an axe into the guy's head. I'd say we're even.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna be doing this for much longer. So, now's your chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's okay. I'll be fine. You've done enough, really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got me out of a bad situation back there. Thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a little late for an office visit, Sheriff. I'll swing by your apartment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should get cleaned up. You look like shit. And I don't use that term lightly. Some of these look pretty bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's gonna leave a mark. Or maybe not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I need to tell you something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a phrase, uh, ripping someone's face off that was used on the trading floor to describe when you sold something to a client who didn't understand it and you were able to extract a massive fee because they didn't understand it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of spirit of being antagonistic to your client actually took on a significant life, uh, on Wall Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Regulatory arbitrage. This is a kind of esoteric term, but basically what it means is figuring out a way to get around the law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Wall Street has become very good at regulatory arbitrage. They're very good at figuring out a complicated financial structure that achieves some objective that you couldn't achieve otherwise in a legal way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it'll take longer for us to learn the lessons of 2007 and 2008. Maybe we'll need another several crises to get us there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got some money for you on the kitchen counter, sweetie. Just be back before it gets dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goodnight, little man. I hope you're as happy as we are. Everything is going to be better now that we're in this quiet little mountain town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm so frazzled. Will you just... make love to me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you are the one bringing this to me, Ms. Snow, the one who so simply stumbled upon this catastrophe on our very doorstep. The last thing I need with Mayor Cole away is a hysteria. Do you understand me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't change the subject. You are to blame for this unpleasantness, Ms. Snow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are trusted to keep things running smoothly around here. This is a disaster!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, says the man who is most to blame for this catastrophe. How convenient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sheriff, you are the one charged with protecting the citizens of Fabletown. Your failure to do so costs someone their life, and the safety of the entire community.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do your job, Sheriff. Or we'll find someone who can. You know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you had a guy here who had no idea about, uh, swaps, had no idea about auction rate securities, uh, had no idea, uhm, about the financial market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what you want, Bigby. There's nothing going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be a part of the voice of a generation. Like a movement that physically happened and meant to be where we are today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Growing up, it, it, it, it was like, there was a crew of us though. There was like a clique of all of us that hung out together. And as time progressed, we noticed how, how people started falling off and going their own ways. And some went to jail and some went to college and some went to the cemetery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, the, the, the progression of that and how we learned and the things that we learned and picked up behind the scenes. And that was just, we thought we knew some shit, but that was like the beginning of what would become fucking oodles and oodles of information. Right. And intel that would make the people that you see today or the people that you hear today or whatever when people hear our shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Name something, name a fucking gig in the industry, we've done that job. And I'm proud to say that because if you do that job, then you don't have no problem telling somebody else, like we've loaded, we've been stage hands, we've fucking done laundry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you though? Did you though? Because I remember a time when it wasn't that easy and people really had to get in the trenches to prove, prove your love. Show me, show me your dedication. Show me you got what it takes or, or, or, or maybe the other side of that coin with how hard can I push


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say appreciative because it's like in the start, that was the biggest thing we wanted a lot was just to be heard. And then when we got heard,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a thought process, but if, like I said, if it keeps you in the zone, it'll keep you, you know what I mean? That's, that's, that's what I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Game has changed though, and that's the part, that's the part that when, when you speak about how it was before, it's like the game changed, so we just evolved with it. We didn't make it change, but we just kinda went with it as it went, because at one point we were part of a, we were waging a war against the mainstream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, it's a weird time right now. You know what I mean? With music and just the way that everything is right now. It seems like we're on the, everything is on the verge of getting ready to explode and shift really hard. You know what I mean? Like at the end of like, at the end of the 90s or the beginning of the 90s rather. You know what I mean? We were in that dark funk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And keeping it in the lane and, and keep doing what we do. And as long as we're blessed to do that, man, I believe with all my heart that we will keep putting out the fucking upper echelon of shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we've had that and, and it's like the level that we've gotten and we see, and even those people are now starting to tell us like we want a street team. We want to, we want to make people, more people need to know. And, and that type of dedication and that type of love I believe is, is, is the reason


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, cool. Make a sacrifice. Move it. Keep it pushing. How bad do you want it? Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Nothing will stop us. So even today, you know, even tomorrow, it's part of that no stop drive. It's like what we knew


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think when people don't respect the, the, the situation of, of, you know, just being like, look, this is what happened in that. And it's sometimes, I mean, it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we talked him through it because we didn't feel comfortable touching another man's face, let alone legendary Scarface. We were just like kind of marking out, but at the same time, just like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a, it's, it's gonna happen. It's inevitable. It's gonna happen and it's awesome to see the people that were day one still going along. Still riding. Yea man. It's crazy man.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Money, power, and Wall Street. Episode 3. Tonight on Frontline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Chicago, President-elect Barack Obama was watching the economy continue to collapse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the start of his presidential quest, Obama had chosen a dream team of reform minded economists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had been advising him for months. Warning, really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in those first weeks after the election, his entire economic team was stunned by the bad news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The stock market was down more than 6,000 points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George W. Bush's Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson, had already spent $125 billion bailing out Wall Street's largest banks. And now during the transition,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would spend another 20 billion to keep Superbank Citigroup afloat. But it wouldn't stem the unfolding disaster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Announcing who he would hire to handle the crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feared on Wall Street, he was the reformer's guru, a former Federal Reserve Chairman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A pro-regulation advocate and an outspoken critic of the Wall Street banks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Picking Volcker would deliver on his campaign promises to reform the banks and get tough on Wall Street. But inside his transition team, there was also a more moderate faction. Veterans of the Clinton administration. They had their own candidate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tim Geithner, the President of the New York Federal Reserve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the financial crisis, he had led the Bush administration's response on Wall Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geithner's career took off in the Clinton administration. A protege of Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And during the meltdown, he had engineered the bailout of Bear Stearns, had gone along with letting Lehman go bankrupt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then pushed for a more than 180 billion dollar bailout of the insurance giant AIG.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Obama, adding Geithner, a key player during the Bush administration, would be an unusual choice.

[Assistant] They were almost exactly the same age, born just two weeks apart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to Geithner's official calendar, the meeting lasted only one hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By now, the financial crisis that started on Wall Street was going global.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers would be the president's chief economic advisor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Summers had been president of Harvard and had made millions working at a hedge fund.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to Obama's team, the choice signaled they intended to hit the ground running.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The president and his economic team arrived at the White House.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, the financial crisis was theirs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next door at the Treasury Department, Tim Geithner was also just moving in. He hadn't yet hired a staff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of Geithner's top deputies, Lee Sachs, was there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just a few months before, Geithner had been in and out of these rooms when the Bush administration was spending billions of dollars to save the banks. But it hadn't been enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Obama White House was under pressure to do something immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On February 9th, the president tried to do just that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He promised Geithner would deliver a plan to rescue the financial system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But inside Treasury, Geithner wasn't ready. His speech was still not finished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Larry Summers, the president's chief economic advisor, was not satisfied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Under the stress test, the government would examine the health of the country's biggest banks, and if necessary, bail out those that were in the most trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To many watching, however, Geithner's plan seemed inadequate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Already, Obama was being pressured to replace his young secretary of the treasury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in the Oval Office, Geithner mounted a spirited defense. He stood by his strategy for stress tests.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Critics doubted the stress tests would be enough. But for now, the president would stick with Geithner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bank of America's CEO Ken Lewis was in the spotlight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His bank had taken more than 45 billion dollars in government bailouts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wanted to make an example of one of the CEOs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Summers and the political team thought that maybe it was time for a CEO like Ken Lewis to lose his job. It would send the banks and the public a message.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those responsible for the financial crisis would pay a price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would have been a bold step for Obama. But Tim Geithner warned the president against it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wasn't going to participate in what he called Old Testament justice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He saw the banks as an ailing patient in critical condition. He had taken to invoking the first principle of medicine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geithner insisted now was not the time to reform Wall Street. But inside the White House, he had a powerful opponent. Larry Summers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Summers, a highly regarded economist, believed Wall Street was fundamentally broken. Aggressive reform was necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Summers wanted to take on and break up at least one of the too big to fail banks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Summers was concerned about too big to fail banks, like Citi, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, the new breed of super banks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in the crisis, the banks were so large and interconnected, the government felt it had to bail them out. Because their failure could bring down the entire economy. They are too big to fail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Summers now believed some of the too big to fail banks might be on the verge of collapse. The time was right to do something dramatic about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He thought the banks were vulnerable and that Summers was playing with fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On March 15th, they all gathered with the president. Summers versus Geitner. A showdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hour after hour, in front of the President of the United States, Tim Geithner stood up to Larry Summers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obama listened. Should they take on a major bank? Were Geithner's stress tests the best way to go? For now, he'd keep his own counsel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bankers feared they could be forced to accept dramatic reforms, a ban against too big to fail, a limit on executive compensation, and a requirement that they refinance mortgages for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were few pleasantries exchanged. The president spoke first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as the meeting progressed, to their astonishment, it became clear the president was in no mood for confrontation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The president required no firm commitments from the bankers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The president had decided. Geithner had prevailed. That day,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bankers made it clear the president had let them off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bankers who left the meeting that day had already received more than 180 billion dollars from the federal government, with almost no conditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unknown at that time, many of these banks had been drawing on a vast reservoir of cash from the Federal Reserve in order to keep their daily operations from freezing up. It had started more than a year before, during the Bush administration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The details of the loans became public only after Bloomberg News took the case all the way to the Supreme Court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In all, the Federal Reserve made available more than 7.7 trillion dollars in loans, commitments, and guarantees to financial institutions around the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in that spring of 2009, in New York, the public was hearing good news about the bank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By May 7th, the government was ready to reveal the results.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The President and even some of Geithner's White House critics seemed pleased. His position as Secretary of Treasury was secure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The anger was over healthcare, taxes, and especially the bank bailouts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the White House, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel had been worried about the growing public anger for months, telling the President he should act.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the president decided to revive a central theme of his campaign. Reforming Wall Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Washington's power brokers were there. Congressional leaders. Tim Geithner. Even Paul Volcker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of the bank CEOs had been fired or prosecuted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the healthcare debate heated up, reforming Wall Street was left to Congress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Key congressional proposals to break up those too-big-to-fail banks were kept out of the bill by Wall Street lobbyists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] President Barack Obama signed what became known as the Dodd-Frank Bill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bill included some rules against risk taking by banks, limited consumer protections, and new powers for regulators.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even some at the White House admitted the reforms may not be enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The president's supporters say his greatest accomplishment has been to save the financial system from complete collapse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And many worry the serious problems are still out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The victorious brotherhood have taken your castle, monster. This will be the end of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whom from the corners of the earth are all powerful. To you it is said. Contemplate the glorious face of Satan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The beginning of all consolation and whose eyes give clarity to the stars. Let the seasons be confused. And let it be that no creature shall be equal. Let all men fight among themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] King of the world, I order the forces of darkness to pour its infernal power over me. Let the gates of hell open wide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy! No one's going to volunteer to do that! I would, if it means saving her life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have all that stuff inside the cabin. We could probably get by with it. Alvin, please!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know where to look. Carlos has medical supplies on lockdown, but we don't got much these days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn look, it's sneaking around out here. We better get inside. You hungry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can be anywhere I want. Go away and don't tell anyone or else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People tell me it was, like, men tell me who know about this. It was love at first sight that, uhm, and I got this from both sides. People close to Geithner said he was, uh, quote unquote, smitten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have everything set up, a VIP audience, cameras, all the press.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Markets are expecting something big, and they're expecting details. So the secretary walks out, and frankly looked nervous. And he comes to the podium, and there are two teleprompters there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gives his speech, he turns and walks away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you could tell even the VIPs, Ben Bernanke and everyone else are, okay, well I guess we leave now. There was a little bit of clapping. And it's over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they were big in packaging them and creating securities out of them, buying them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Richard Kovacevich, chairman of Wells Fargo, led the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their failure to repay their debts or pay their debts would cause a cascade of other failures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They said they needed the authority to use $700 billion to, uh, un-stop the credit markets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With everybody on one side, House and Senate, Democrats, Senate, Republicans, and Treasury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were making money and they want to continue making money. It was generating fees. Transparency drives profits down, drives down transaction costs. The banks don't want that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they make their money from transaction costs. And they like locks of non-transparency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see that credit default swap spreads widening and the market was telling you something was wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] System stopped. All forms of payment froze. We got to the depths of the panic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Commercial paper, the most basic, one of the most basic instruments in finance, that market failed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a gut check moment. Do we feel like we can take the risk of letting it go? They all looked at each other and just said, I'm not ready to take that risk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The American people expect the federal government to have the authority to prevent a disaster when they can see it coming. And we don't have that authority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also all knew it was June, July of an election year. There was not much realistic chance of actually somehow enacting new authorities. So all we could do was look at the authorities we had and try to figure out what we could use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hank was very nervous. He was getting calls from large manufacturing companies that were struggling because of the credit markets being frozen. The longer it went on, the more trouble the economy was gonna be in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone was having to learn all about AIG, you know, in real time. Learn about the institution at the same time that they're having to make decisions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not even having the time to figure out who the big counter parties are because you're faced with it's Monday night and if you don't do something in 24 hours, you're gonna see the consequences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we know that these banks were not successful. These banks were on the brink of failure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what we found out really was that Wall Street was in much, much deeper problems. They were in much deeper trouble than we ever imagined. On the peak day in 2008, uh, it was December 5th, 2008,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The banks had taken loans of $1.2 trillion, and that's one day. And out of that $1.2 trillion, uh, not necessarily on the same day, Morgan Stanley alone took out $107 billion, had $107 billion in loans out in a single day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Citigroup, over 99 billion dollars on a single day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bank of America, 91 billion dollars on a single day. Uh, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, all the biggest banks in the world had borrowed way more than we ever thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you had was a financial system, individual banks that were really rescued by the U.S. government and the Fed, then using some of that money


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To influence the US government to make the rules less strict on them going forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, come on, I got some beads. Take your top off. Claude, if you don't stop, I'ma put that greenery on you. What is with you today? Looks like someone can't handle a little cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Louis, you're sick? No, you idiot. Rude. The whole country's under snow and ice right now. Huh. I actually decided to sit this season out. It's only in my fingers. Texas should have done the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I seem to remember you freaking out when you got hit with a hurricane last year. I lost power for more than 10 days. No, poor baby. Actually, Texas doesn't have any power right now because he has his own power grid. Bridegummit before the fall. I thought winter was after fall. It's an idiom. You're an idiom. Please stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're sending him help, but he didn't even vote for you. I'm the government of the United States, not the government of the blue states. You're so lame. Just shoot him with the space laser. It's not real. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The stories about Queen Himiko say she could summon storms. Myths are usually based on some version of the truth. What if Yamatai was somewhere in the triangle itself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was here, with that man, Matthias. But I passed out. When I woke up, they were both gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But look, the bowl, the candles, why is she still being worshipped?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just don't get it. Any of you. Something won't let us leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't leave him yet. I need time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think we can leave this island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There might be someone without rigging we can use. I'll check it out. Be careful, Lara.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could have led them straight to us, like you did back at the palace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This place is crazy. These storms are natural. We have to face that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, I don't have all the answers, but Sam being taken, I know it's linked. And if we try to leave here without understanding why, then we'll all die. Just like the pilots. Just like Roth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They won't take her there. They'll take her to the ritual chamber. We can use this inlet to get closer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll need you and Reyes to guard the main entrance while I go in after Sam. You're going in there alone? More people means more danger of being spotted. I need you here taking out as many of those bastards as you can. It won't just be the Solari either. There'll be others. Samurai, the Queen Stormguard. Look, anything that's not me or Sam, shoot it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 14 years old and smarter than you'll ever be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't give him the attention. And yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not dying here. I'm fixing that boat and we're leaving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right. Which is why this is not happening. Okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The engine room. Look, he can take care of himself, Laura.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once we're ready to leave, we're leaving. Whether you're back or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what's her next move? The boat's fixed now. We should get help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lara, what do you expect to find in there? Do you really want to know? No. But you should tell me anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system. Tomorrow morning, I'll suspend my campaign and return to Washington after


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm calling on the President to convene a leadership meeting from both houses of Congress, including Senator Obama and myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's time for both parties to come together to solve this problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Princess Leia, it's an honor to have a senatorial observer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we both understand the situation Senator. If your father keeps his mouth shut, I'll keep you out of harm's way. If not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll become the unfortunate victim of a wookie uprising. These slaves are mindless brutes, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I became an assassin I swore to leave piracy behind. But the old methods have served the creed more than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What business do Templars have there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing else is needed. As a boy, I fled the same fate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thanks is now mine. Do you have a place of refuge?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Madame Joseph. Expecting a package.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sili pa dodo, Krabla va manger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wise man is down that path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The French governor is two-faced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bastien helps as she can, but my whole independence is long to build.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A warrior like you would be a great asset to our cause. With due respect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose I might lend a hand for a time. I will see that you are rewarded for whatever you can give.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every day more slaves arrive. Human cargo makes for lucrative trade. I once hoped men of education could be made to see the cost. But profit makes them ignorant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the right vessel you could intercept the slave ships before they arrive. Or you would be free to leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This brigantine can meet your needs if you could relieve it of its crew. Bastienne has volunteered her woman to draw the men away. Or you could set this tower light to distract them. Excellent options, Ollidan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's this? Fire crackers. Some of your recruits salvage them. It's only right that you should use them. Excellent. Once you send me a signal, I will send our men to join you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] August Sting, I am surprised to see you here. Are you not needed in the headquarters?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can train in order to take my place, dear. But when you are gone, who will captain it is? You must teach. Aye, I will. But you must not call me captain. You are the leader of these men. But you have earned the right. I've seen you will be my captain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did you come by your knowledge of the sea, Ade? It was my first true home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No accepted me as their captain once I had proven myself. Only the assassins offered me real authority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were born in Trinidad? Aye, on a plantation. Are there not my wounded who could use your help?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know we are not alone in said domain to fight for independence. There could well be. I have not returns to find out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do not know how much longer I'll be able to continue, but the Maroons are outstanding warriors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Augustine has provided me with everything I might need to get by until I return to my brothers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would be a fool to trust anyone so clever so soon?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I share your curiosity. I'll pay you this favor for the slaves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will you oversee us not notice one man extra? Or are you simply unconcerned for my well-being?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bold-faced scientist, Godin, hounds the governor for funds. Something about an expedition, navigational secrets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spain continues to insist the expedition wait for a Spanish ship. But we are allies now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can they not be persuaded to allow a single French vessel passage in the name of science?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are, after all, allowing Spanish chaperones on board. Signed Louis Godet. He does not realize the risks of this voyage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These scientists aim to record navigational secrets for our beloved kings to use at war. But we can seize them to extraordinary advantage for my brotherhood and the Maroon. We need only supply literate recruits and the rest will take care of itself. That is all. Nothing more on the Governor. That is all? That is everything! How many more could be freed with this knowledge in our hands? All.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joaquin Francois. Henry Marchand. Fortuné Jean. Good. I'm sure you will serve the expedition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once you are trained and our recruits return with these navigational secrets, you will be able to go explore and recruit from any land. It will be a great temptation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His ship is a grand blessing. An advanced knowledge of the seas. A boon to our cause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Special orders from the sometimes confidante governor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sooner Augustine's revolution comes, the sooner all slaves will live in peace as free people. Gouverneur de Fayette threatens retaliation. And he is behind this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In your pirate days, did you cross many slave ships? More than a few. But when I sailed with Kenway, plunder was the only prize.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plunder, or information leading to more plunder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the assassins offered me the opportunity to pursue more serious aims, I left the plundering behind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the slave ships also? No, for I am still an assassin. And I have found them again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll go below. Return to the ship and prepare to receive survivors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hot, missus. You tried to warn me. We are all guilty. A governor will pay with his own life. My creed demands that I see to it. Si l'av' m'in. Si raté.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Revenge is called comfort. Once the fire is gone, another tyrant will take his place. His death must give this generation of warriors hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It will bring me sadness to see you go. We will meet again, to celebrate Maroon independence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is done. He suffered badly, I made sure of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all this time, you lost interest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fear worse things now. No templar plot can equal your wrath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will return, yes. But I feel a tide changing within me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm no longer young. I must devote my energy to those who struggle for freedom. I will use my conviction and my creed to defend them alongside anyone who will help me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're something to trade if Darth Vader finds me. Now shut up and eat. And if you're thinking of escaping, just remember that my new pet is very hungry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, you've won. Senator's yours. There's no need to kill me now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I lied. As I have from the very beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I'm definitely, I think I'm single too. So are you planning on dicking down Selena here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, these are such difficult questions, bro. Academics might give you harsher coverage going forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They pasquerade as dragons, but are mere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Strange visions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now where'd that hottie go? You fought well. Thanks. Nice hat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you talking about? Your last opponent was Tarkatan. He was born with those blades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, those things are real. He represents Outworld.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Outworld, yea, right, right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Elder Gods created the Mortal Kombat tournament to give Earthrealm a chance to defend itself. But if we lose this time...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shao Kahn will conquer all. Dun dun dun!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look guys, I'm an actor. I save the world for the cameras. If this emperor is really a threat, call the military. Me? I've got a date with a blonde.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you see in him? He is a hero, Liu Kang. Though he may not yet know it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on, a girl like you shouldn't be wandering around this freak show alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fine, have it your way. I'll just leave you to your... problems. Good idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. You will not be the one who challenged Shang Tsung.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a challenger. Kano.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gratitude is unnecessary. I have foreseen events, like memories of my future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lead me to believe that you are all connected to Earthrealm's fate. What have you foreseen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my visions, Shao Kahn becomes invincible. He destroys all life in Earthrealm. We will all die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe these flashes are a guide to defeating Shao Kahn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But disrupting the flow of time can have serious consequences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know it is you, Kung Lao. The Shaolin monks chose Liu Kang to represent your order in this tournament. I am Liu Kang's equal. That remains to be seen. Watch and see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scorpion, I understand your desire for revenge, but Nightwolf is right. There are other ways in which you may find peace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will have my revenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spare Sub-Zero's life, and I will request that the Elder Gods return the Shirai Ryu to the Realm of Mortals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I... I will not. He has been beaten. Have you forgotten?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite my efforts my vision has come to pass. An unfortunate end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He once defended Earthrealm from the Netherrealm armies of Shinnok and Quan Chi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His own doing?

[Assistant] The Lin Kuei have a history of making ruinous choices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you speak out against the Lin Kuei's participation in this tournament?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're invited by Shang Tsung


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Victory for Shang Tsung means the end of Earthrealm. And the Lin Kuei.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Syrax wins. That should shut you up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You disobeyed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have broken your oath. I used my judgement. The cyber initiative will eliminate insubordination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be wary, Liu Kang. He is unlike anything you have thought before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I trust you will make the right decisions. We must trust in the Elder Gods, Liu Kang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Shang Tsung?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Emperor has an offer, Raiden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see no reason to participate in any plan of yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shang Tsung has taken her. We've gotta find her. We must follow them!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shang Tsung has made it clear that Earthrealm will be under constant threat. Unless I agree to a new tournament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another vision?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But my earlier vision of your victory over Shang Tsung was not the solution I sought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, this premonition must show an event I need to change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hear me, Elder Gods. I accept the terms proposed by Shao Kahn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And why aren't the Kung Fu Twins here helping us? I sent Liu Kang and Kung Lao to free their shell and masters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I expected Sonya Blade to be here with Shang Tsung. She better not have a scratch on her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guess we know where we are now, thanks to her. Yes, and where we must go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is great energy nearby. Uhm, Ray dude?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are you here and outward? To participate in a tournament to save Earthrealm. Join us, Smoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am not the sub-zero you speak of. He was my brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sub-Zero wins. I remain whole for now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would kill you, but that is not my purpose here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your followers hold you in high esteem, warlord. They fight and die for your amusement. My brother participated in this folly. I do so only to face his killer!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now interrupts the Emperor's tournament. Sub-Zero, no!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, Katana's faith is a slender reed bent before the storm. If it can be uprooted altogether.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey listen honey, we don't wanna fight. But we will if we must.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps Liu Kang was wrong about you. Or perhaps he sensed as I do that there is conflict within you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need answers, Katana. I can help you find them if you will trust in me. Go to Shang Tsung's flesh pits. Much will be revealed there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, you are. And why is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You must discover your true path alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We must return to the tournament. But you are responsible for her capture!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Elder Gods have spoken. Earthrealm is free of Shao Kahn forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the price of victory was almost too steep to pay


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our triumph was not meant to be achieved in this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see now. He must win refers to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to prevent Armageddon, you needed to defeat Shao Kahn, not Shang Tsung.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It cannot be. Shao Kahn is dead. Yet the future remains unchanged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She exists only because of my sorcery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have mastered the spells necessary for her resurrection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a very magnanimous offer


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That which made him subzero no longer exists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do not know.
