[Assistant] I wasn't like popular at webcamming, like I wasn't good, my quality was shit and my body and my face and everything was just like, you know, I didn't have that blow up yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like here, and that was part of like getting my under eyes to like fix the symmetry. I didn't really notice a difference and nobody else really noticed a difference, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just looked a little more like cleaner, if that makes sense, like a little more like on point, like symmetrical and just, it looked good. It looks good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and he didn't want me to do professional porn because he, he had this weird idea. It's called like the whore-archy. Which is like, there's so many different parts of sex work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's many different types of sex work. There's like webcamming, there's porn, there's escorting, there's stripping, there's a lot of different, you know, phone sex. And the horarchy is the belief that certain types of sex work, like, are better than others and make you, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, better or more successful or whatever. That's like saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically how he thought is like, Oh, if you do porn, you're a fucking whore because everyone's touching you and you're getting fucked. But if you're camming, yeah, you're getting naked, but at least nobody's putting their hands on you and you're just by yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if you're getting naked and posting it online,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's crazy is that some girls will make the same amount of money or more flashing a titty as the girls that are getting gangbanged. And one doesn't make you better than the other. It's all just about your hustle and how you promote yourself and your brand, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What makes a girl that gets fucked on camera, like me, like lesser than a girl who


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was September 2017, uhm, I stopped dealing with this guy because he was just getting like increasingly more shady and I realized like, you know, I've been naked online for about a year and this is my life and I need to actually take it seriously and not be like fucking around with this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who knows who this guy is, and to this day, like, I don't know what he's about, like, he disappeared from my life, whatever. But, so that happened in September 2017, and then I went through, like, a traumatic, I lost a family member.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it just made me kind of like reflect on life and I was like, what do I want from life? Like, I want to be happy. And I thought, and I was like, I want to do content. I want to fuck on camera, but I don't want to do it myself. I don't want it to be like on a phone and look amateurish or some shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was like, if I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do it like, right. I'm gonna just go all out, go in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I contacted this agent in Florida and he flew me down and then I just started shooting porn. I literally haven't stopped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think about it sometimes and I'm like, if it was a bad experience would I be here right now? Would I be doing-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a sh- like some girls, I look at their first scene, I'm just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't even imagine what that experience shooting that was like with just the most amateurish people with like a camera and a hotel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of these guys try to like steal the girl's first anal, like they'll like put it in your butt for like two seconds and then be like, we have her first anal. That happened to a girl that I saw and she was like really on the come up, like she was gonna be the next big thing and she kind of fell off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could be robbing them of like, up to ten grand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does, even if the girl was okay with it in the moment, even if the guy said like, oh baby, like, let me put it in your butt, and she was like, okay, like, whatever, it's still not okay, because you didn't talk about it before, like, when someone's having sex, they're not in, like, the correct state of mind, you know, like, let loose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, okay, so my agent at the time, I told him, look, I really want to do interracial, which...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I think it's fucked up, but also I just wanted to, I didn't wanna like restrict myself. I was like, I wanna do scenes with all people, of all races, not just like, white guys, and then like, beat around the bush, like, uuuh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dicks are too big, like, no, I wanna fuck black guys. So, I told my agent, I was like, I wanna do my first...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, okay, so I told my agent, I was like, look, I wanna do like, I wanna do interracial scenes, I wanna do my first, whatever. For the culture. Yeah, I didn't even care if it was like a big first, I was like, I just wanna do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was like, Oh, well, you're going to want to do it for blacked.com. So you should wait. And I'm like, I don't want to wait. Like you don't understand. I don't care about blacked. I want to do it. So he hit me up one day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was like, I have a proposition for you. So the company Mile High, which is a well known porn company that has a lot of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good sites. They said they wanted to do my first anal for a site called Hardax, which is a really good gonzo porn site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they said, if I do that, they will do like a joint deal to also do my first interracial scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was like, I mean, I wasn't planning to do anal, but fuck it, like I've done anal twice in my life, I'll just do it and if I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I- I didn't like it, but I didn't dislike it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you know, I knew I could do it, and I was just like, let me just do it, and maybe I'll like anal, and if not, I'll just have my first, and then I can do it again if I ever want to in the future. I was like, fuck it. All I cared about was the dark ex scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was important because there's so many yummy black men in our industry that I wanted to work with. Yummy. Yummy. And I was like, look, I'm not gonna wait like two years to work with some, like for what reason? It's not gonna help my career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and it's stu- it's aw- it's extremely awkward to be like, I can't fuck you on camera because I don't fuck men of your race yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They like the color contrast, which like, I don't wanna talk about this anymore, the whole racial aspect of it. Well that is interesting though. It is interesting. I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why like, that's why I think black.com was like a huge...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, this is what happened. So I did my first anal. That came first. They didn't even schedule the interracial scene yet. So I did the anal scene. It was with McBlue. Great. Amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't believe how easy it was for me. I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything that you hear bad about anal just didn't happen. And I was just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What does this mean? I need to do more anal to like figure out what this means because it felt too easy. I was like, this is weird. Like, why was my, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My first anal in over a year was just not difficult for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, meanwhile, I'm waiting for them to like book the IR scene. I'm like, when is it happening? That's the whole reason I did this fucking thing. And they never booked it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, my agent's like, do you want to shoot for Blacked? And I was like, yeah. So I shot for Blacked. Uhm, I regret doing that scene at the time that I did it because it


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guy that I worked with, first of all I feel like if I had waited like a couple more months I would have been a much better performer and I would have had my dark hair, which I feel like is a better look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the person I worked with was just a fucking ass. Really? And a shit performer. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really shit, like, I couldn't bl- And his dick was actually the biggest dick in porn, like, ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to try, you know? You have to give me something. It's like, he...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not true. He was actually not in the game. He was a co- I'm not gonna say his name. Anyone with basic typing skills can figure out who he is by going on the site. Uhm, but he-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was a contract performer for them, I guess because of his huge dick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He just was not a good performer. He didn't like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Try to like form some type of chemistry, you know, that's what makes the scene good and you know, he just was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was just giving me nothing, like he was giving me nothing. Nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, what am I, I was so nervous because it was a, you know, it's a big deal. It's a big set. It's an important company. And this dude, it's like, the character, he was playing, my character was like a girl that's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In love with this rapper and I finally get the opportunity to meet him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was literally acting like he was like some famous rapper, like he was standing off in the corner, like looking in the mirror, like not even, he didn't even talk to me. We didn't speak until like, we actually never spoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The answer to that question is no. It was not an option. It just wasn't an option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it seems like him not being hard was like, the norm?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they were used to it and you're just supposed to like make do because his dick, I have to like, his dick is so big that even like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, that's literally exactly how it was. It's like, you have something so special about you, which is that you have such a huge dick that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People really wanna see you fucking, like, tiny girls and you just can't. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, okay, I'll speak candidly about myself, is that my vagina, it doesn't get- It requires hemp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't, sometimes, I don't even use that lube anymore, honestly. Oh, okay, so it's not hemp, it's just lube. It was a phase, it was just a phase. I use lube, but like not that particular one, but my vagina, one, it's extremely tight, almost like abnormally tight, and it


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really dry. Like it doesn't, yeaah. Like I'm gonna be open right now. And a lot of girls deal with this issue where we just like, for whatever reason, you just don't naturally get wet. And like it sucks because some guys just wanna like shove it in there and I'm like, you can't, like you can't. You're gonna hurt me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I have a disadvantage and some guys think like, oh a tight pussy is like the best. It's, it's tough sometimes. Like some, with these porn guys, some of them have really big dicks and it's just difficult sometimes to do vaginal scenes, but anal scenes just come naturally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, I would do both, uhm, just so one doesn't get too used up to, like, I say used up, but like, how I feel- Share, but share the wealth. Okay, when I'm doing a scene,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scenes are usually like 40 minutes of, like, hardcore action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well no, I'll say like 30, cause it's not counting like oral and stuff, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a certain point during the scene, or like when the scene's about to be over, where I'm like, I check out. My body checks out. I'm like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm so happy now that I didn't because I, I genuinely, not just for my career, but I genuinely love it. Like I look forward to it. I, I don't think, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two days off I'll like fuck someone, but no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I'm not interested and also that I physically, like, I need to recover, you know? I need that time to rest and heal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, my motivation for porn is, it's a couple things. It's not just like one thing that drives me, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The main thing would be to build something for myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, like build a career and a life for myself of something that I enjoy and that I'm good at because like, dude, before porn, I mean, I know I was only like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 18 before porn, it's not that long of a life, but in childhood or nothing, I never had anything that I was really good at and that I really enjoyed. Like I was never that good at sports, I couldn't dance, I wasn't good at art, it was just always that disconnect of feeling like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When is it gonna be my turn to like, find my passion that I'm actually really fucking good at?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well, yeaah, I kind of like, towards the end of high school, I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little ashamed because I hadn't fully like come to terms with like my sexuality. Not just like who I like, but like what I like to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm very like open sexually now, but in high school I just wasn't because it wasn't acceptable. Like there was this one girl in high school that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was a slut that we would all like fucking rag on her and shit. And I don't- I think about it now and I'm like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, she wasn't even a slut, like there was no evidence that she ever did anything slutty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And second, there's no reason to like, hate on her and shit. And I think about it and I'm just like, I was fucking a lot of dudes in high school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, before I had sex, I was like, oh, I'm gonna like have a boyfriend and like lose my virginity in a romantic way. And then I just realized that's not realistic and I just wanted to start fucking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I just fucked, and then I just started fucking. Like that's just how it was, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I definitely took a little bit of time to like fully be like completely comfortable with being a slut and a whore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I consider a whore to be a slut that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So whether it be, you do porn or you're an escort or whatever, if you fuck for money, you're a whore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I want to take away like the negative like association with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, to some people it probably sounds stupid. You're like, well a whore is a bad thing. And I'm like, why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? Just because it's derogatory, like, it doesn't have to be a bad thing, you know? Like, it just is a fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I consider a whore to be someone who just, you know, loves sex and loves having sex and is open about it and doesn't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, feel confined by like what people think about you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, totally. And people can think whatever they want about it, but it's about how I feel about myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I really like anal scenes obviously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, cause it feels good. And I like scenes where uhm, I get to like dress really like fun and either sexy or just like colorful and crazy, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Certain directors are really into that stuff, uhm, but in terms of like scene content, I like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, and I like group scenes. So I like scenes with like more than one person, like whether it's a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, this year, I might want to do one with three, and then eventually I'll work my way up to a gangbang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is something that I think about constantly, and that's how I know that it's good for me to do, and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not thinking about it in terms of like a career way, like, oh, I need to wait this amount of time to do this act and like this amount of money. Like, I just think like, I want to get gangbanged so bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's how I know that like, it will be the right choice for me because I can't stop thinking about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I try to be on set at least like social, you know, to, like I said, you know, that chemistry is kind of imperative to the scene. So even if there's like zero chemistry, it helps to like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes it's just naturally there, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never done a gangbang, but I feel like the vibe is like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Depending who the guys are, you're kinda like, broing it until you're just not, and then it's a gang name. And then you're broing it afterwards, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just feel like you shouldn't be thinking about that. Like if you're thinking about, oh shit my balls are touching this guy's balls, like your dick's gonna get soft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like you don't think about that, you just think, woah, I'm balls deep in this bitch's ass and she's getting fucked by another guy, she's such a slut, like this is so hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're gonna know now, listen. I forget, it's been a while. It's when you use like or as. She knows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, uh, fuck, what is the fucking word?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a countdown, like, what am I thinking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that make sense? I mean, I'll clean it off, but like, I don't, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never done this with a man, but I hear it's a very good experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, no. You can know, like, some of these girls, like, in porn, I see the orgasms and I'm just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, some people, like, I was watching this one Pornhub video of, uh, it was like a DP on Blacked, and this guy, he co- one of the top comments was like, ooh, at 11, whatever the time, he was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She says, daddy, I'm coming. If that was fake, then she deserves an Oscar. And I was like, okay, you know, let me go see, let me go see this orgasm. And she was like, it was like the weakest, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh daddy, I'm coming. Right. And I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Followers on social media was after like hanging out with you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, but yeaah, an interview can only take you so far. You have to have other skills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you asked me to come here, I was hyped to come, not because I thought that like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just not my thing. Uhm, I respect other girls who want to do it and I'm sure they make a fuck ton of money and they make one lucky fan's whole life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, what, hypothetically, in another universe, if you like, set up a contest, or not even a contest, but just like, an opportunity, and be like, come to no, like, on some shit today, and get fisted by Lena the Plug. Wow. Like what, how many men do you actually like, realistically think would do it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, to the fucking wrist. I had never done that before. Cause like, I had gone up to here in my butt and then it just slipped in. And I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The amount of things that I had no idea that I was capable of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, any- like, people can- anal itself is a feat, but like, gaping?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Category that people like jerk off to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just go to my pinned tweet on my Twitter. My Twitter is jaynwildxxx. If you go to my pinned tweet, you will know exactly what I'm talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and like, what you were asking, a question you asked me before was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said building something for myself, but it's also like, you know, I fuck with my fans, like I wanna-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know what they like. I wanna put stuff out there that they're gonna enjoy watching. Like, I don't wanna put out any mediocre...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The answer is yes. They wanna see all types of variety with scenes. I actually like, I was looking at a forum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That uhm, I have people talk about like my scenes and stuff and I posted about the dread scene and someone was like, am I the only one who prefers to see a guy ball- a regular sized dick balls deep instead of the tip of a huge cock? And I was like, you're not the only one but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I just say something really crazy that I remembered? I just, like, I saw a clip


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I saw it when I was younger too, but I just recently saw it again. It was like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was these guys and this woman and they were like holding her legs open and the guy's head was like covered in like oil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My butt doesn't stink. I'm pretty sure it doesn't. I don't know if you go that deep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if you are really, really in tune with your digestive system and you take Imodium and you don't eat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then maybe, and you don't eat for like 12 hours, and you just take a regular shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe yeaah, you don't have to clean out, but for my own peace of mind, even if it's just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A tiny piece. It grosses me out. I don't want to see that. So I would rather just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, most of the time in scenes, if there is like a mishap, like that they, you know, cut it out or editing or whatever, but I've seen scenes where it's like the girl is gaping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, it's like, sexually, once food enters the stomach...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't wanna see it again, so I'm not into anything with puke and I'm not into shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kudos to the people who are like that girl Violet. I fuck with the fact that she like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thing, I personally don't see the appeal and I would, sorry, I would never do that because I'm just not-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] into that. But some people are so into that. Just like, I don't see the appeal of, uhm, getting shit on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But some people do. And there's fans who love that shit. And I'm like, good for you for tapping into that market and, you know, being true to yourself, but it's just not for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just pissed, but I need to remember that like, it's a very different world out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if you want someone to drink your piss, drink a lot of water and eat clean. If it's yellow, it's not mellow. If it looks like DEA. I just made that up right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It needs to be like water. But anyway, so my Instagram account is wildsexual underscore.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I remember now. What are you doing in here? My crew turned on me. Tanya and Big Tony pulled a coup and now they want my ass dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was hoping Julius and the Saints would help me out. Julius? He's not here, is he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I saw her earlier. Let's escape her away. If we can hold out here, then Tony shouldn't be far behind the rest of the VKs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This feels just like old times, doesn't it, player? There'll be better times to come, man. You deal with Tony and Tony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically... Right, sorry, go on. This bill will ban people from being able to sue for damages caused by the burning along with so much more. That's not okay. It's pretty much asking for sugar immunity. Yeah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, exactly, that's what we're hearing. Contact your reps. Like physically or... Please don't touch me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's- I'm gonna take that as a no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Choppers down, we're fine. Munitions depot must have been hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm working on it. How's the kid? Don't ask. Charlie, we're in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks Charlie What do we have in Benghazi?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How'd they nab him? Look, how do we know he's in some psycho with a sixth sense of humor


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andre Cobin pretended to kill my daughter to give someone leverage over me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll keep it quiet as long as we can. Moving to the side entrance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Briggs, how do you feel about storing our new cargo? My pleasure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and Charlie try and dig up any information you can about Coban's mystery customer. It's time to go hunting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our best bet for Coban's buyer is Marawa. I wanna be on the ground an hour ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Charlie, check satellite feed, map every weapon, vehicle, and man in that camp. There's a kid with a cap gun I wanna know about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grimm, coordinate with dev crew. We're gonna have to hit the other sites when we move on Marawa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need to be on the ground as soon as we're over the camp


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's nothing personal, but we had some bumps in Benghazi. I want you on the chopper for extraction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Charlie, I need recon options. We need to find Cobin's buyer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll climb from here. Get the chopper prepped for extraction and standby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm right on top of the communications hub. Charlie, data's still coming out of there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can't wait. This is it. Briggs, get the chopper off the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looks like a kill room. They executed a soldier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll shut it down. We're still recording. Trace it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Engineers were two steps ahead of us. Our only lead on the blacklist and only got was a message.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sam. We pulled an ID off the hardware you got on the ground. We know who's running the engineers. That was fast. It was easy. Too easy. Almost like they wanted us to find out who he was. Sign of confidence. He's taunting us. Now we have our target. Majid Sadiq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A direct attack doesn't make sense. Not after what Sadik pulled in Marawa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Timer's at zero. We're not turning back now. I'm in. No sign of civilians. Looks like they're searching for stragglers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do I get the bonds off the hostages?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give me a flash drive, connect me to my offset now. Relay it to Chicago SWAT, tell them


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defense is what Sadiq's expecting. What he's planning for. That's why we go on the attack. How?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't have any targets, and we can't afford to split our focus from the blacklist. We keep playing catch-up with the engineers, sooner or later we're gonna miss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you hearing about Chicago? From Langley? Nothing good. They wish we'd gone to Dallas? They love the results but they hate being cut out of the loop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like being cut out of the loop either. And the mission would have went a lot smoother if I'd been on the ground. You can get your chance next time. That's all for now. Sure. I'll be here. Keep me posted. Grimm, what have you got for me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the best picture we could dig up? The intel we pulled makes up for it. NSA suspects Nuri has ties to Iran.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Resonary knows you've been caught. At least you've turned informed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bad luck I guess. I wanna know why he's worried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Add it to my loadout. Anything else you may want to tell me, Colbin?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] SMI was right. I'm at the security monitoring station.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The utility shed by the pool pulls a lot of power. Let's be connected to the main breaker box underground. Heading there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want information. Majid Sadiq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can't risk it. Sadiq is ex-UK intelligence. We may still have friends on the inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looks like they're holed up in an abandoned mill. It's right on the water. Multiple points for sniper cover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could be they panicked. Sadiq wouldn't have been there if he knew we were coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well they don't seem to be too concerned with the details. Bogus documents are not. Congress wants blood. And all they can see is Iran. Caldwell's gonna declare war unless we can give her another solution. That mean we don't have one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Focus Charlie. Can we get a drone in the air without it attacking us?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's out. You're gonna do this alone? What's our way in? Show me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't talk to American spies. Not even when they have a targeting solution on your wife and child? I mean that is them that just came off the market, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Says the man with a UAV flying over Iranian airspace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys must be the clean up detail. Racing around. Pointing your guns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should have never let that shipment get stateside. What if we can't stop it in time? We're not gonna stop this attack. We're gonna stop all the attacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] TCS thinks they're responsible for coordinating the Blacklist attacks. If we can take a commander alive-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pick the hell of a time to double down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other engineer vehicles are already there. The bombs could be armed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Charlie, I'm gonna need something to jam the radio in the area. We can't risk remote detonation. You bet. Briggs, you're with me on the ground. We move now. Hoorah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got a ticking clock that's too much ground to cover. We need to split up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Easy. Easy, everybody just relax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got something to say, say it. Okay. Grim was right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't matter if the intel's legit, Nuri running his mouth could have the US staring down the barrel of a war with the wrong enemy. Exactly. Who's the one person who would want that? Sadiq. And maybe he's pulling Nuri's string. Why, because Sam's got a hunch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need you to sync up with Grim and Charlie. How is Charlie gonna help me? He's not. You're gonna help him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Itaini, you are now under my control and will comply with all instructions. Not if you understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't think you were gonna make it. Yeah, lucky for you I still got some time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I can get one. If? You pulled the trigger last minute, I gotta make plans in the trenches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roger. What's him doing but I secured a CRRC. Head south on the shoreline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were just lounging on a beach in Cuba, now you're in Mexico. Getting strafed by a patrol boat isn't exactly my idea of R&R.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's how the engineers operate and it's not telling us what Sadiq wants from the blacklist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Briggs, head to the back of the plane. We need to lose cargo fast. On my way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What does that mean? It means all the top military and government brass were sent to protected bunkers to make sure they survive. Last time that happened was 9-11.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chief, where's the control room? Top floor of the terminal building, but it's too dangerous. I'll be alright, I got backup. Good luck, Chief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Extortion is in Siddique's endgame. It's too simple, too small.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, Grimm. Whatever you need. What? Repeat that. Sam, the pilot's refusing to fly to death. Leave him at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa, how is he even still alive? Good question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Sam, I uh, I just took a peek at Vic's medical file.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god. Sabine Pass. That's the biggest fuel facility on the Gulf Coast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice to see you too, Briggs. Just give me some weapons intel. It's like I'm part of the team now, huh? Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, Kobe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm Kayla, a food science student at the university. I'll be assisting in the experiment today. So we have a question from Mark H. from Saskatoon. He wants to know, why do your burgers not rot?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So during the cooking process, the beef lost 40% in water weight and an additional 30% after a few weeks time. So that's 70% water loss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're just completing the trace now. Looks like the transfer came from Merwawa, eastern Iraq.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. Nobody asked you. Need information, not a body count.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sam, there's too many to take head on. I'll draw their fire, you flank them and take them out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got foot mobiles flanking our position. Alright, you three, fortify here. Lay down suppressing fire. Grim, we can't get airborne if we're under attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's off the floor, Captain! Try now, Lieutenant James! It's working! We're free!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All hands aboard. LT, get us the hell out of here. Aye, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did he tell you what show he's on? So we can watch him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't look at it nearly as much as most. When I go, typically, when I go to tweet, that's when I see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because I learned it's kind of an exercise in futility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't need people to tell me I'm great, and I don't need people to tell me I suck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I got to a point, I don't know when, I just got to a point where you really do say this. You'll get there. I learned this from Skip Bayless. You really stop caring. Cause you realize everybody has an opinion and they all count for exactly the same thing in your bank account. Nothing. Doesn't matter. Have you got a death threat? No. How can I be the only one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the point I want to make though. And it's a distinction because I learned this from Skip. That's not actually a death threat. He was wise enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To know how to get around any FBI interdiction. You can't go around threatening people's lives. You can't do it. Whether it's on social media or in real life, you cannot do that. He wisely knows that. He's a pro too. So what he did was he just instructed you to take your own life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Online babble, whether it's, you know, no matter what it is, if you don't own it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LinkedIn just did something for anybody that follows LinkedIn. They just, they're making all account users verify their identity with a driver's license, front and back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your account's been locked until you verify that you are who you are. Interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is interesting, and the reason I bring that up is because that's where it's all going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Congress is starting to get involved in, in, uh, legislation that will prohibit online bullying and, uh, cyber crimes and, uh, identity theft, digital identity theft,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is where it's all going. LinkedIn sees that, and they're just getting ahead of the curve. But very soon, so get ready, all you egg icons. Very soon, it will likely be a federal law that if you have an account in which you share information on, online, no more hiding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No more Mr. Internet Muscles. No more Mr. You know, Kevin 61475. None of that. So if you get a tweet from Miguel Peten,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll know exactly who it is and so will the authorities. And watch what that will do in terms of online bullying, online crimes. The hope is this is the gateway to the future of safe internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I've heard great things about him. I haven't worked directly with him, but everybody that's come in contact with Ian says the dude's awesome. Uhm, he wants to learn a little bit more about sports media, so you're here checking things out. I see you wear the Miami shirts on a pretty rag. Are you a Miami grad? Are you going to school there currently?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's not mic'd up. He's a rising senior. He's here just to sort of check things out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so, okay, the Jomarant News. Now, do you want to shuffle things up and put that up to the top because it's breaking news? Yeah, we can get into that. I will say this, so I'll tease everything that's coming up. We're going to talk about what makes a great owner because Stan Kronke just won his fifth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're gonna talk about, what the hell makes this guy such a good owner? What's he doing that our guys aren't?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'll try to, you know, sift through that and try to make sense of it. By the way, Stan Kronke, uh, owns the Rams, owns the Colorado Avalanche, which won the Stanley Cup last year, and of course the Denver Nuggets, which just raised the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Is it still the Larry O'Brien Trophy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we're also gonna talk about the Guardians, uh, but I do think that we should go off this news. 25 games, I'm just gonna throw my immediate reaction out. This is too light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm curious to see what you guys say about that. I'll tell why in a second, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sift through it, we're going to come back to you for the Cliff Notes in 20 seconds, or 30 seconds. But, Gee Bush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's your immediate reaction when you hear 25 game? Because I thought that it would be 41 as a lull and 82 as a high for a full season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you guys see that, uhm, Skip Bayless said this on his podcast? I didn't watch it, I read the headlines and read a brief synopsis. Skip has become very, very, very good friends with Lil Wayne. Mmhm, yeaah, yeaah. And I don't know if Skip asked Lil Wayne to reach out to Jabberant or if Lil Wayne did it on his own and in Skip,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lil Wayne has major, major cache in the community. Yeaah. I mean, I think we all kind of recognize, at least he did with those of a certain age group. Oh, he still do. I'm wondering though if, if


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you imagine Lil Wayne reaching out to an NBA player? And an NBA player thinking, no, I don't need what he has to tell me? Because we've heard a lot of folks that have done that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I'd like to call up his career stats and see what happens. See, see, you know, how, what chunk of gains he missed. Here's the thing guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so that's, that's your standard right there. Now, now the difference was there was some beef going on and he brought it into the workplace. However, I'm gonna, I'm gonna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say something that I'm not probably qualified to say because I don't know. I haven't lived in that lifestyle. But Gee Bush, I want your reaction to this because you're far closer and in tune with the culture than I am. I don't know. The NBA had an opportunity here to take a major stance against


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even want to say gun crimes because I don't know that necessarily qualified as a crime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna go out with my boys and I'm gonna, in my waistband, I'm gonna put a fake pistol. No, that's not it. Okay, so we can all kind of pretty much just dismiss that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is what it is. But, gee, we have rising gun violence in every major city in the United States. Here in Cleveland,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Car jackings with the use of a gun are up 85%. Violent crime with the use of a gun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Double digit increases. And by the way, we're talking about year over year where last year was a record and 2021 was a record and 2020 was a record. It's going the wrong way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have yesterday a story on Channel 3 where Edwin's restaurant, Edwin's is a very interesting concept. The owner of the restaurant, it's fine French cuisine. The owner of the restaurant staffs the entire restaurant with former cons. That's awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He basically giving them a second chance at life. That's awesome. This model should be duplicated in every major city in America. And by the way, you won't find a better meal. Five star, high cuisine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What he does is he gives these convicts after they've been released a second chance. He puts them through his culinary school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He houses them. He helps get them back on their feet. He gives them high paying jobs where they can, if they want to stay there and work there, they can, but if they want to go somewhere else, they can do that too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He yesterday announced a program in the city of Cleveland where he's gonna buy back guns for $250, irrespective of the condition or whatever. He's doing it to get guns off the street. Now he hopes to get five sponsors, corporate-wide, that will help him pay for these guns. He expects to get as many as


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 100 to 250 weapons off the street. I don't know what that number is going to be. It might be far greater because we've been publicizing it quite a bit. But the idea here is we have small people in our community that are trying to make a big difference in a gun violence crime that we can't seem to solve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the NBA has said in the past, we're about social statements. We're about making our community better, safer. Here is one of the faces of its league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the whole world to see and he gets less by a quarter almost easily, well by a third almost more than a third then


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was given 14 years ago to Gilbert Arenas for bringing a gun to work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so that's a 50 game suspension. I would have been okay with a 41 game suspension in this case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I know you say just right and I respect your opinion, but I think, and Gee Bush, you and I agree, I think the vast majority would come down on too lenient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gee Bush, here's my question to you. Okay. What message is sent


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the young fan base of the NBA about John Marant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flashing guns and what happens to you if you do it? Because before you answer that, I'll give you a quick example. There's a young man who goes to Orange High School in our area, I believe it was Orange, who


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was arrested because they found a bullet in the school and it ended up being his and they traced it back to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not John Marant. He doesn't have the protection of being a superstar. He doesn't have all the money in the world to afford any legal defense he wants. He's facing serious jail time. And we have John Marant who


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The optics of it are horrible. What is that saying to the young fan base of the NBA? What are 13 and 14 year old young NBA fans saying this morning about John Moran?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the root of this discussion, John Morant is a young man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who needs some guidance right now. The lifestyle he's living is the lifestyle he now chooses to live. He doesn't have to live that lifestyle anymore. In fact, there's a famous line in the movie Good Will Hunting. I don't know if you guys have seen it, but there's one of the most moving scenes in the movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Ben Affleck was having a conversation with them outside their construction job. They were having a smoke break. And he said, let me tell you something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cuz Matt's, Matt Damon's character basically says, Good Will Hunting. Will says, hey, you know, 20 years from now I picture us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Running around the backyard with our kids, taking them to Little League games. And Ben Affleck stopped for a second and said, wait a minute. Wait a minute. If you're still here 20 years from now, I'm going to whip your ass. And Will was like, what are you talking about? And he said, bro, you're sitting on a winning lottery ticket. You've hit life's lottery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you stay here, that's an insult to me because I would give everything I own


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of applies here. Yep. He needs someone in his crew that loves him not for his money, but for who he is. To tell him, Ja, you're gonna piss all of this away, bro. You're gonna piss all of this away. You've been given a gift and it's fleeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a limited window and someone needs to get to this young man and tell him


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turn your life around. You don't need us anymore. Get the hell out of here. We don't want to see you again except for on Christmas cards and family gatherings. Take your guns. Get rid of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what he needs and Lil Wayne and Jalen Rose and other people that have been in that situation who have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. That's a powerful story. And so this is what I'm saying. I'm not saying he needs 41 games because I don't like John Moran. I love John Moran. I think John Moran is a generational talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think John Morant could be a top three player in this league for the next ten years. The only thing that stands in the way from that and what could become a tragedy is John Morant. What road do you want to travel? You're at a fork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can go left or you can go right. But this is life changing. This is a very big moment. And here's why I'm disappointed in the league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He hasn't reached that point by being punished once already. He hasn't reached that point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people that have been through any kind of turmoil like this that either need an interdiction or they need some sort of reckoning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oftentimes it's called rock bottom. What is rock bottom gonna be? One of his boys gets shot and killed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe he shoots and kills someone. Maybe he gets shot and killed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would be the equivalent of your siblings lobbying to your parents about how they're gonna discipline you. At the end of the day, it is the National Basketball Association. And that logo, that shield, is bigger than all of the players collectively because that's the shield that's represented the players for over 15 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're probably right, and look, there's probably things that I don't know about that go on behind the scenes. I'll wrap it up by saying this. Here's my absolute, bottom line hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My hope is, John Morant gets the message, loud and clear, and he realizes, I can't keep this lifestyle going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. He's got all the money in the world. Money is no longer an issue. He doesn't need to be out in the streets. He doesn't need to hustle. He doesn't need to hang with guys that are carrying guns. He doesn't need that lifestyle. You don't see LeBron


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I hope, I hope future headlines of John Morant read like this. John Morant, a force in his community. John Morant gives back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To his community by helping youth avoid pitfalls in the future. John Morant wins NBA championship. John Morant, NBA MVP. I hope they look like that and not what I told you before. John Morant involved in tragic shooting. It could happen. John Morant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to send a loud and clear message that you can't have both lifestyles. He can't. He can't have the street lifestyle and he can't have the NBA lifestyle. It's time for him to choose. And you said something very prophetic earlier. Players, whether they choose to be role models or not, let me tell you something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When, I love Charles Barkley, both personally and his public persona. He said he's not a role model. He said he is, but just because you say you're not a role model doesn't mean you're not. Role models are tapped on the shoulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Society decides who a role model is. And whether John Morant likes it or not, there are tens of thousands of 13 year old boys in this country that look to John Morant as what they want to become.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is a role model, whether he wants to be or not. That's a cop-out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've always thought that was a cop out by Charles Barkley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know a lot of people have reached out to Ja, I get that, I understand that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just remember this, Maurice Claret as a freshman almost won the Heisman Trophy. Yeaah. After he won the national championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He never played another down in college. He never


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was meant from birth to be a football star, a dominant football star.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if, and I'm not saying this because I've been friends with Maurice for 15 years. I'm not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the role models that I know, of the people that I know that I think Ja Morant can be most helped from,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't either. I don't want to see him pay any other price than missed games. And what this, what scares me about this is if we picked up a paper tomorrow and see John Morant arrested for gun use or John Morant, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maurice Claret has done something that I think is the hardest thing in the world to do. He's written a successful second chapter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you ask John Barant, will you talk to Maurice Claret? You might as well ask him, will you talk to Hopalong Cassidy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't know who Maurice Tourette is. Maurice Tourette was a football star 20 years ago in another life. John was born in 2000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, Buckeyes won the national championship in 2001? I think 2000. He's only three years younger than me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so he was, he was two years old when Maurice Claret was a commodity in, in, in sports. Well said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, I think, I think it'd be great to get Mo back on to talk specifically about this. I'll shoot him a text. Because I do think that, I don't know, maybe Maurice can reach out to him. Maybe, maybe Maurice can reach out to the NBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And say, look, I do this kind of thing. I can sit down with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell him my story. Tell him to watch the 30 for 30 on Maurice Claret. And then Maurice is gonna fly to Memphis and he's gonna sit down in a room with John Morant for three hours. The, the Maurice Claret I know will get through to him. But,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reserves for, oh no, he's just, he's just. Okay, nevermind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, I just talked about, uhm, piloting a second chapter in life and being as successful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had someone tell me once who was friends with Michael that I didn't really know that well. I was surprised that he divulged that information to me, although he said it was off the record. But, I mean, since it's been written about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was said about that was Michael's drive to compete is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The work that is involved in becoming not a good owner, but a great owner. And we're going to talk about sports ownership here in just a second is more than Michael is willing to put in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was interesting to me because I always thought Michael would be motivated by, I'm all about winning. Whatever I have to do to win. But you're also talking about a guy who's sitting on a billion dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Loves to golf, loves to gamble, loves to hang out with his buddies, and that's not probably the lifestyle that Stan Kronke's living. I don't know, maybe he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a great, when Magic Johnson had a brief stint trying to coach the LA Lakers, I'll never forget. It was very short. 10 games, something like that. The team was terrible. I remember when he was, he did an interview post that, and he said, man, I'm just not about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These guys are on their phones. Now this was years ago. This was before everybody really started being on their phone. He said all these players, the most important thing in their life is their phone. I can't do that. I can't, I can't handle that. I don't understand it. And the other thing is, there's a theory in sports that great players make horrible coaches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And part of that is Ted Williams famously tried, even tried to be a hitting coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It comes so easy and naturally to Bird, Magic, and Jordan. Not to say they didn't work hard at their craft, they all did, but they all had a natural gift and a skill set to be great. So when they look at these guys that are mortal, they just shake their heads and they're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're scrambling to see, are we gonna be, are, wait, are we gonna make payroll this month? Yea. The guardians right now are looking at Missing Valley's check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For July 1st. Bally's next installment is due July 1st.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just made a payment to several of their franchises. I believe the Diamondbacks was one of them. We know that they're bankrupt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Guardians are in a real tricky situation, which is why I believe Dolan took on a minority owner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the thing Dolan's missing, the checkbook. He's got the other things, and here are the other things. Have the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be willing to spend the money smartly. Are those two separate ones? Yes. Okay. And number three, and this is the one that you left out. Get the hell out of the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, number two, you asked is that the second one, be willing to spend the money. I incorporate that with, I said smartly, go out and find


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cutting edge, top of the line executives. Dolan's done that. Antonetti?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jerry Jones fired Jimmy Johnson. Jerry Jones fired Barry Switzer. What have they won?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't consider, okay, so one's different than the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, back in the day, players moved when their contracts were up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George Steinbrenner won and a lot of people will say, well, Steinbrenner is a great example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Google it. He had the greatest reliever in baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really, he had the cheat code at reliever and baseball. He had the generational shortstop, the generational third baseman, countless Cy Young award winning pitchers. For the money he spent and the teams that he built, he should have had 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was his own worst enemy when in the 70's when Billy Martin was, was looked at as the most fiery manager in baseball. He fired and hired him three times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He kept firing him and bringing him back. Because to your point, he was too passionate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to wash your passion out of being an owner. He got seven, seven World Series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to know when to get out of the way. And George didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jerry Jones does it. Jerry Jones. How many playoff games have the Cowboys won in the last 20 years?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so what, what, you're right, but what stuns me about that is that it took so long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that they survived that long in today's sports is unbelievable. And that is a testament to Robert Kraft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think we've identified the four traits. You need money, you need to be able to spend the money on the right people, and you have to get lucky. Okay, let's look at the Cleveland sports owners. I mentioned Dolan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got my notes on all three. I'm ready. He has hired the right people. Yep. He does get the hell out of the way to the media's disdain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We never get access to him. I interviewed him two years ago. I don't know that he's done a one on one since. He, he doesn't, he, he's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He lets Antonetti be the face of the organization. What he lacks is the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't, if he had Kronkes, and by the way, we talked about Kronke, it'd be irresponsible to bring something up about him. He's had success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had to pay the city of St. Louis $790 million for stealing their team. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a great transition. In time, I don't think you can name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three months ago, sold for six billion?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's not the exception, that's the rule. Every one of these franchises that were purchased in the hundreds of millions are worth in the billions today. Guardians among them. But if you're not independently wealthy, that's just, that's a mirage of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and that money. So in other words, if you, if you borrow a hundred, and I'm not sure, I don't know, I'm speaking way out of turn here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm guessing that maybe there was a loan taken during COVID. Because remember, one of the revenue streams was completely gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody in 2018 said, you know, there could be a worldwide pandemic coming, but all of the owners prepare for a myriad of things. A work stoppage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do we, how do we keep our other employees employed? How do we keep the ship moving if the players say we're not playing games until we get a better deal? So they all have this emergency slush fund.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Dodgers, the Yankees, the Cubs, the major market cities probably have a much bigger emergency fund than the Reds, the Royals, the White, or the Tigers, and the Guardians, and the Pirates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure he had to write checks out of his own personal wealth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just by what I see and how they spend money, he's very, very frugal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's been successful doing that. So, he's a smart guy. He's built this empire. So he's saying...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm doing pretty well here. My investment of $300 million is now worth $1.3 billion. I'm doing something right. And I'd like to keep that. And I'd like to keep that wealth. So if I borrow $100 million to buy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zanino and Belle and they fall completely on their face. I'm not paying back just a hundred million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm paying back 101 at today's interest rates. I'm paying back 130 million. I don't know how long these loans are taken for or what their interest rates are on them. So, but that's, so I think with him, he's saying I've got a tried and true method.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got the best manager in the game. I've got the best general manager in the game. I don't need the best roster in the game and I've proven that because I'm consistently a playoff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's hired Antonetti, and more importantly, I wanna, this is where I give Dolan the most credit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't think that Tito and Antonetti have had


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, always messaging is always on point. Even when it came down to the very controversial name change, Tito, whether he believed it or not, Tito went in front of those cameras and said, it's time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's time. We've got guys in our clubhouse that I've talked to that are uncomfortable with us being the Indians. Let's change it. Whether you believe that or not, he was in line with Dolan's message. Dan Gilbert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I rate the owners in town. Dolan first, Gilbert second, Haslam third.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But everybody that is, is there because, correctly or indirectly, because of him. So are we all in agreement that the Haslums are clear cut number three?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll give him that, but other than that, yeah. To me, I judge everything in sports on wins and losses. That's, that, that is the end all be all. There's one stat that trumps that and that's because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dan Gilbert's winning percentage as the Cavs owner without LeBron James is woefully bad. I believe it's in the 300s. Okay. Now, obviously they won the lottery. They got LeBron James. There's some luck involved in that, even though they had the most ping pong balls we've seen many times where the lottery doesn't go to the team with the most ping pong balls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think that's why I think it's 1 in 1A.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, I do think that I'm probably not giving him enough credit for winning a title, although I think it should have been more than one. We had LeBron James here for a decade, we have one ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the Guardians are consistently a playoff team and have made it to Game 7 of the World Series a handful of times, once under Dolan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once they had a 3-1 lead in the World Series, uhm, I think, I think,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have consistently done the best job. And the Browns, I think it's very easy for me to just consistently underperform. And here's the sad part. This is a Browns town. If we're gonna have a great owner, it should be with the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just shows the blind loyalty that this city has in its Browns fanbase. The Browns don't deserve this fanbase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eating in this scenario would be winning. This team, this owner gave us an 0 and 16. That's the scarlet letter in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Twice. And then they, and then they did the one in 15. They dropped it back, back to back. So in the span of, you could go over three calendar years, the Browns won one game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if you compare specifically to the Dolans, yes, the Dolans, the knock on them, they don't spend money, but they win. The Browns spend money, but they lose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll use that argument, Anthony, as a reason why they're the worst owners. Look at the roster. Our rosters the last four years should have put us in the playoff the last four years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ALCS. They've been to a World Series. Have the Browns been to a Super Bowl?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they win nine and miss the playoffs, or if they win nine and sneak in, they're not moving up my chart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bro, I know that you, I know that you are a rationally thinking human being. Yes. You also agree Kool-Aid and I understand that. I actually make the best Kool-Aid in the town. How old are you? 41. 41. 41. When I was 41, I walked in your shoes. Yeah. I made excuses for my owner. I had hope. I thought they were doing the right thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I convinced myself every August that we're going to play in January.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you wash, rinse, repeat, and you pull the clothes out of the laundry, and there's still Kool-Aid stains on them,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And see, here's my problem with that, G, and this is why this so upsets me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you let someone get away with something consistently, and there's no ramifications for it, this goes back to John Moran.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see why they believe that, but what I'm saying is that's why we keep getting in last place. This fan base isn't shrinking. What happens typically


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In many other sports cities, when you consistently roll a dog's ass out onto the field,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People give up. That's what I'm saying. And this is where I would tell people nationally all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got the greatest fans in the world. But there's a downside to that. The downside is you get slapped across the face with the 0 and 16 and you look the owner in the eye and you say, thank you sir, may I have another?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I get that Mike, I get that, and I'm even empathetic to that. I do, when I talk to younger Browns fans, I don't always say this out loud unless I'm really close to them, but many times I'm just looking at them going, aw, you're so cute man, 32 years old, you've been a loser for 12 years already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least Hedges was great defensively. Zenino's a bum. Zenino is not good behind the plate and he's not good at the plate. No. It's a mistake. Admit it and get rid of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In February, it was a good idea. Yeaah. We all, we all sat here and we said Zanino's an upgrade and Bell's an upgrade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we have a body of work three months of the season where we've been able to look at two and a half where we've been able to look at it and say, hmm, that's a mistake. Here's where I disagree with the Dolan's. It was a great idea in February. It was a bad idea on May 1st.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you realize this is who he is, it's time to move on, it's time to move on. Here's why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You make that mistake every day you put him in the lineup. You make your team weaker. That's not the job of the front office. The job of the front office is to put the best nine on the field every day, irregardless of how much money they made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they trot Bell and Zanino out there every day, and we know that that's a total of six outs every day between the two of them, you have taken two innings away from the offensive club of this team. You're hurting this team by compounding your initial mistakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this move works, I'll be the first one to jump in this chair and to scream kudos to the Haslums.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They tried it the other way. It never worked. They tried drafting number one quarterbacks. They had some success but not sustained. They tried doing it this way. They tried doing it that way. Then they finally went out and said, we're gonna solve the Rubik's Cube with money. We're gonna go buy a quarterback. Now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is boom or bust. And that's what I said the day of the trade. If it works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Haslam's become the toast of the town, and it only works for me with the Super Bowl. That's it. Because with the other guy, we were a fourth and fourteen away from playing for the AFC Championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, that trade set their organization back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So before we talk about a Donovan Mitchell trade, I know you have a read, Anthony, and then we'll talk more about that very thing because that's what CAS fans are talking about now. Is it time to move off Donovan Mitchell already after 151 win season?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did not move your needle. But do you live in your mistake to compound your mistake? Like what I said, what the guardians are doing, putting Zanino and Bell in the lineup every day. They're telling fans, this wasn't a mistake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you understand Donovan's a smart kid. Yea. And you also understand that he did the mental gymnastics on that decision before he did it. Yea. And he still came to the decision, cause he could have said no. Yea, but who cares? He still came to the decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one thing all these guys want is hardware or a legitimate chance to win hardware.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not close, and management publicly stated we're not making major changes. Which means we're not likely to be close next year unless the competition all takes a step back. Which I think it will. And, and so, if, if that's the case, right now today,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could get more for him if you move him now. However, I like your idea of take a swing at it. If you're in the home run derby and you've got one swing left,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's a chance you could tie. You're not going to flip your bat and walk away and say that it's not going to happen. You're going to take that swing. You're going to try. And here's the thing. If the Cavs find a shooter, find a three,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gel in the second season together, that's a great point. That's probably haven't been talked about enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It takes a season to come together. You know, we saw that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they, by chance, win 55, Boston steps back, Philly steps back, Milwaukee steps back, and they trip into a one or two, and then get hot in April and May,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But haven't we seen the diminished value of picks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His last two years he's missed significant time with injuries. I know last year he had a knee injury and then they, because they were out of it, they just shut him down. He probably could have come back, but I think he only played like 50 games. Something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is my- because here's the rub with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aside from the 50 million average cap hit that he's gonna have for the next three years, at 34 years old,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because my wife loves those, man. She can kill the Moscow mules. Not a big drinker, but when she does, that's what she drinks. Mojito.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm just as fascinated by the fact that you can't smell anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey everybody, here we are. Hope you enjoyed the nice weekend. It was Father's Day. It was Juneteenth yesterday. And, uh, so I hope everybody enjoyed the, uh, not everybody had a three day weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anybody else? We got nobody else? Oh, Earl's dad, he back there. Is Earl back there or is he, he goes wherever he goes? Earl's here. Earl's here. Earl, you doing anything exciting for Father's Day?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, secretly, I hope, you know, I gotta call Earl out because, you know, he's, he's playing all nice guy right now, but Terry, no offense, but, uh, Earl said he's predicting your divorce within a year. That's what he said to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ohhhh. Did you get the uh, accreditation already? I'm doing it now. It's very easy. I got that. And alright, well if you need any tips, let me know. I am a professional. I don't know how I feel about that. Professional preacher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna get, I'm gonna, this is unusual for me, but I'm gonna get very cocky right here. Very unusual for me. Those who attended the wedding of Jonathan and Elise Peterson, I had half the wedding, I would say, came up to me and said that was the best officiating wedding, best wedding I've ever been to in my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would never even consider taking money. But, uh, but I did spend a, I spent a lot of time preparing for that wedding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gave me actually a really nice gift. It was like baseball related. It was pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a waiter or waitress, those people are, you know, making slave wages basically. They get paid nothing. And every time I, by the way, I went into a restaurant for Father's Day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the service was terrible, I'm not going to say what the restaurant was, the service was terrible, and somebody said, well, you know, they're understaffed. Well, I'm never, I'm going to assume that if you're understaffed at a restaurant, it's because you pay like shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? Pay the waiters and waitresses a real salary and they'll-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That ring going to be out of here. All right guys, we've been having some fun live. We're going to continue to have some fun, but we're going to switch it up, talk some sports later. We've got a few different bad, interesting basketball topics to get to, including potential trades involving Jared Allen. And Mike has created a new game. I don't know if it's a game or just a something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's one through whatever in terms of who's got the most trade value and so forth. Mike's going to do a version for Cleveland athletes for Cavs, Guardians and Browns all in one list. Who?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's debate. I don't know if there's even a clear number one. Maybe there is. Maybe you guys think there is. We'll see if Mike thinks there is. That's coming up a little bit later. But we begin with the Guardians, Mike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lost 4-6 on the road trip out west, lost 2-3 to San Diego, salvaged the final game, lost 2-3 to Arizona, salvaged the final game on Sunday before yesterday off and now they come home to play, as we all know, a terrible Oakland team who had their nice week where they had a winning streak and now they're back to losing again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Couple things that was odd from this weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they had to know that, did, unless something happened with Zunino, just out of the blue, and they weren't gonna do it, and they just, in the last minute, were like, we gotta get rid of them, that seems unusual though. I don't understand why they didn't have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are both shocking things that don't often happen in baseball. That are both happening today on June 20th, or at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the American League central leader of the Minnesota Twins are under 500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm rooting for him. I mean, the last batter to hit over 380 was Larry Walker, I think in 99 or 2000, 2001. Then Gwyn was the last guy to hit over 390.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only win I think finished three hits shy of hitting 400. Maybe four hits, something like that. Maybe even less than that. Uhm, but anyway, it's very rare. But in terms of, I mean the American League Central,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of a team at the all-star break being in first place under 500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that we're at the All-Star break yet, but we're not that far away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet it hasn't happened often. Now it's different now because you have, the divisions are smaller than they used to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so it, it would have had to have happened in the last like 20 years, but I don't remember, even this late in the season, I don't remember the first place team being under 500. Yeaah, we've got research people, I can get some on that. Yeaah, I'd love to know, because I can't, I would guess it's never happened before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are against Kansas City and Oakland. They have two series of Kansas City, one with Oakland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Milwaukee who's okay, the cubs who are ehm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Royals and the A's are the two worst teams in baseball. You're playing them 10 of them next 19 games. They need the guardians who are, I think, what, uh, four under or five under. I can't remember now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 33 and 38. So in these last 19 games to be over 500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd have to go what, if they go 13 and 6, they'd be over?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jason, I look at the American League as a whole, and I don't see one team that can't be beaten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as much as I think the Guardians right now are well below Texas and Houston and Boston and Baltimore and most of the American League, like the best teams in the American League right now have been Texas, Tampa and Baltimore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of those rosters are like, look like amazing rosters. I mean, they're, they're all playing well. I give them their credit.

[Assistant] But Tampa Bay's lost half their pitching staff. They're doing it with mirrors to some degree. They'll find more. They'll find more. There's witchcraft going on. It's not like any of those teams are some unbeatable team. Like the Astros last year in the playoff felt like an unbeatable team. You know, and they turned out to be unbeatable. There's not a team like that this year. And as unlikely as it seems, if the Guardians


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wonder if it changes their plan in terms of trading deeper? I don't think it can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm actually going to write about that I think this week. Right, but let's face it, if they don't have Bieber or McKenzie the rest of the year, they can't win anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just depends what the injury is. I mean, he's going to be out for a while, but it doesn't look promising right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you look at Baltimore, like, they could use a Shane Bieber. You look at Texas, they could use a Shane Bieber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course you want to try and get them to the National League. Okay. Ideally. Could the Dodgers trade for them? Sure. Oh, sure. The Dodgers, they've had a shaky pitching staff with a lot of injuries this year. Arizona. I mean, Arizona is a surprise, really good team. Could, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's probably true, but the problem is, I mean if you look at it as a problem,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that division is so bad makes it complicated. If they were in any other division, we'd just be talking about who they're trading and what they can get. But either way, to me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they trade Bieber, because I agree with you, I think even with Mackenzie's injury, they're probably going to trade Bieber. And by the way, they could still win this crappy division without Mackenzie and Bieber. That's how bad this division is. We've yet to see Gavin Williams. Right, which he'll be up at some point this year. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the most part, Bybie's pitch real well. Allen's been pretty good. You know, Savalli's been decent since coming off the injured list. Uh, you know, the bullpen overall has been better lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reality is though, they still gotta trade Bieber for proven players. At least, at least guys who are ready to play in the majors. I mean, this laundry list of, of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, in terms of Bownailer, I'm glad he's up. I agree with you that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was a, it was a spot in the lineup that was a zero and now you're hoping it's, it's now it's a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, I, I, you know, I've been through the Miles straw thing a million times. He's not a major league hitter. I've said it time and time again. I got to give me, I got to give credit to Naylor. I've never been a big Naylor guy. Uh, he's playing great. Yeah. Oh, he's holding down. He's, I still wouldn't use him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Against most lefties, but overall, he's by far their second best player in the lineup. And he's had a tremendous season. He's been very good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it'd be interesting to see if they do another one. I mean, what's his? I don't know if he's got another year before. What's his value? Like, what is his value? He's not a huge power hitter. He's limited with his inability to hit lefties. He's not good defensively. Yes. But against righties, he's a very good hitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeaah, yeaah, yeaah. I mean, he's a guy you want, but I'm never, like, even if I'm gonna play him against lefties, I'm only playing him against shitty lefties. I'm not starting him against any quality lefties, at all, because he's not gonna hit those guys. But against righties, his numbers against righties are high quality. You know, they're borderline all-star against righties, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Comparatively, he's probably the top choice, and then Ramirez and Naylor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A reasonable, like, not crazy. I'd like to see him hit. I think reasonable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll say for the rest of the year, it's about half the season. Okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little, there were a little more than half, we got a little less than half of the season is gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I would say hit 250. That's right, I was 240 to 250. With 10 homers and 30.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have two players on pace, I think, for 70 ribbies, which is just hideous. I don't know if you guys, I texted you guys, but I don't know if you saw us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through, the Guardians have played what, 71 games I think? 72? Whatever amount of games they've played to this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 2001, through the same amount of games, Barry Bonds had eight less homers than the Guardians roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. Will the guardians hit more home runs than Bonds did in 2001? I'm going to say yes. 73?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We might come down to September. I think they're like, I think they're about 10 home runs behind the Nationals for 29th place. Something like that. Are they 10? Can you look at that Mike?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimately, the smart move. I hate to give up on a season when you have a chance to win the division. And I still think the Guardians are going to win the division because I don't think anybody else is any good. And I think Frank Kona is a savvy enough manager to, if, and if they can make some improvement, but they're not going to make any short-term moves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how about this? So Jose Ramirez leads the Guardians in home runs, right? You know where he'd rank on the Braves? Probably like 7th. Hide for 7th. Yea, there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't be this bad, paralyzed. Horrible. And that's why in the Bieber trade, they have to get somebody that can hit home runs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, on paper that sounds, I've always been a big Tyler O'Neil guy. Now he's, he's never completely lived up to his potential. However, he's a good defensive player, solid hitter, big time power, and he can run. Uhm, Matthew Liberatore is a good pitching prospect. He's already in the big leagues and doing, I think, a decent job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know about the other kid, I'm not, I don't, I'm not familiar with him, but I would, I, I said yesterday in the text chain that I would do it, except Tyler O'Neil's not healthy right now, but if I'm playing for the future, the Cardinals would make sense. Although I don't know, I don't think the Cardinals would do it, they're so bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not quite as bad as the AL Central. The NL Central is not great, but it's not as bad as the AL Central.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, okay. I mean, that, that would make some sense. And when I say a proven veteran, I don't want a guy who, you know, for this year's team, you're not trading for a Yasiel Puig, who's on the last year of his contract. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no, no help from those two slackers, Earl and Anthony, with you tonight. You're doing it all by yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're in a different dugout than last year. We're in the opposite dugout. That's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a no, okay. No. We'll figure it out by tomorrow's show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, speaking of that stadium in Canton, uhm, excellent soft pretzels there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember? Oh, remember? She talked to the woman who was behind the counter taking money in a garage. She's like, you're nothing. She really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't berate him, I got angry, and then I apologized. You did. Because I lost my cool, I went up to him after the game, and in fact his parent, his mom, sent me an email thanking me for apologizing, because I'm sure other people have yelled at him, and never apologized. I lost my cool, I didn't like it, I told my team I handled it appropriately.
