[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I was just thinking that. You got the Nike tag. Not normally into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, what, what is it about just having the clothes and the jewelry on point that you, do you believe that that's like when you dress that way that it is going to make you as big as you plan on being?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I mean, and I heard you say that in the other interview when I started thinking about it. I'm like, you know, I guess he's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is some shit that you would do with money if you were really going crazy? You have a number one record right now. You got millions and millions flowing in constantly. What's some shit that you would do with your money that you don't feel comfortable doing right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. Uhm, so, with the jewelry, which, how much do we, you spent on that piece right there with the fucking snake, slime?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it at all weird that you're with Alamo and he's with YSL?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna be added to the short list of white friends. Yeah. What's it like having a white guy manager in your life though?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See exactly, you need a manager like him because you hang out with dudes like him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man. Have you always felt like you were gonna be a star even when you were real young?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he was an athlete and you were just doing whatever. But now he's, does he still play sports or anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You grew up. You can't be bothering doing it anymore. But you think that if you were riding around with them every day all day and have to be around them all the time that you might start getting on each other's nerves and start fighting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you guys ever consider being a group? Like the way Migos are, like they're related so they have a group, like did you guys ever think about that early on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. When did uh, when did Uzi first hit you up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's funny cause that happened to me with Uzi too, but he sent me a bat emoji. He was on the bat wave that week, I don't know what was happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was just at bat man. He just hit me with the bat, I don't really know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit, so I don't know, like what are your thoughts on like what you're about to get into this year? Do you have big plans? You got your whole career mapped out at this point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that kind of blew my mind because I saw Gary Vee and we were filming and I said, yo, what rappers are gonna pop off 2019 and he said Keaton got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you still, yeaah, are you still like kind of amazed that you actually have found yourself in a position where you got money to actually go and buy the shit that you wanted your whole life growing up? You say what? Are you still just like shocked by the fact that your plan is actually working and you're still like, you're actually getting money to have the shit that you wanted your whole life?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the difference between you and the people who didn't make it who are, who are acting like groupies now from your perspective? Like what was it that made you actually go out and get it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was kinda like helping him out a little bit. I was in the video, but man, I didn't really have it in me to really go hard. I'm a little too old for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, do you have like the smallest little braids going ever? What is this haircut called?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you couldn't have a conversation with her and be like, baby, I love you, I wanna be with you, but I still gotta fuck these hoes. Oh, you're not there yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh god, we gotta hear, we gotta hear what she gotta say. She gonna pick up the phone like, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Worst case scenario is you start having feelings for a girl and then all of a sudden you bring her around some rapper and she, she, she going and talking to them like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why she probably ain't real. Did you see the clip of your Instagram Live that went viral? Are you recording? What? When you were like just sort of babbling into the mic, you know how you just freestyle and like make a bunch of noises and shit and the clip of you on the Instagram Live, it was going kind of viral. What about me fucking a girl or what? No, no, you were rapping. Oh. You were just rapping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nevermind, this was a good interview. Oh, word? Alright. You ever feel weird about that? Like I got five videos of me fucking like five girls at once on my phone, but I don't really want to show people because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy. Uh, yo, I appreciate you coming through, man. I'm really fucking with your music. It's gonna be a big year. Let's go. Let's go. You think you've got that XXL cover?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got it. Hood baby. Check it. This is Ben, Nojumper. Coolest podcast in the world. Check us out on YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes. Woo! Yeah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You as an officer, you eventually build certain skills. You start learning how to read people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They respect us. We respect them. We treat them fair. We have a rapport with them. They know what we're out here for and they don't give us, most of the time they don't give us no problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can point your weapon at somebody and give them commands to comply. Once you feel like the threat's neutralized, like, you know, they're complying with you, then you put your weapon away and, you know. Have a normal interaction. Yea, have a normal interaction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta look at it our way. I mean, they said it was five or six males and one of them possibly has a weapon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would you do as a police officer? You encounter a group of males, one supposedly has a weapon on him. How would you confront the situation?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We spent more money last week than we ever have. We spent $140,000 in overtime. In every category that we had, we was down in crime because of the expenditures that we put out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were down in shootings this Thanksgiving as from last Thanksgiving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, by one. By one. By one. And we was down by one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree with you. It's the intelligence that we need. We don't have the intelligence. None of us can really figure out, have the intelligence on which people are going to commit crimes, murders. And we need to do better at that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They came outside? Yeah, but they didn't get out there instantaneously as the shooters had happened. Those people that's in the precinct, they don't have a vest or a mayor, they don't have anything, so if there's shots fired outside, I mean, I know they're gonna risk their lives, however, they're not going to go to the extreme where, I'ma just run outside and they gotta find out what's going on for, oh, there's somebody out there shooting. So then they run outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, first of all, we just really want to thank you guys for all your beautiful comment and response on our last vlog where we told you about the cottage that we have by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have had a hard time thinking about anything else this weekend. I'm still so happy and everyday I just look at this eh, how do you say, this folder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the men in his family went away on the whiskey testing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you didn't know that Joon is a whiskey enthusiast. Yeaah, he's a whiskey enthusiast. He has like a big, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we have never had so... A mess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This room was our old bedroom, where we had our old bed and a lot of packing materials, but now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now we're gonna go into him and drink some coffee and eat some butts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To say at least. Especially now as we both have our own businesses and we work from morning to night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what you have, like 160 orders waiting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it just gets more and more. Well, we're gonna talk about this later because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess, uh, business people understand what we mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our time here on earth, but right now we don't have time, we don't have time to cook, so maybe we will find a way to make it work. But right now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This painting, Golden Winds, is the painting that I put up for auction on eBay a few weeks ago. Yeah, I showed that in a vlog because I was very excited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The painting has only been up for 50 minutes, and it's already up in 450 dollars! After two days, the auction was up in over 10,000 dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I was gonna contact the other bidders and I was gonna do something called a second chance offer. Uh, but then I couldn't because eBay didn't let me sell anything for more than 500 dollars a month. Because I was new to eBay, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there was so many emails back and forth. Now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's finally gonna go to a new home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's soon one in the night, maybe we should sleep. We're gonna go up early tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good night everybody. Mwah! Thank you so much for watching and I see you soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I teach first grade, so seven year olds. And so I have little boys in my classroom who are like, oh no, I don't like the police. They're saying to me that, you know, well the police came in my house and they got my dad. Or they stripped someone from my house and it's like a violent encounter with the police. When seven year olds have a repulsive response to the police, you have a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was embarrassing. It was terrible. The low key subtle part of that is that the show is expanding and going to Texas. Yeah, yeah, like that was the part that you kind of go off. Yeah, we missed over that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who on that roster are you confident can consistently make threes? Karis should be in that guy. He should be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was so bad the other night, he has to regain, as far as I'm concerned, he has to regain trust. Karras was the worst player on the floor. I like, he was awful. He was show shot too. Oh my God, he was awful. He was, he was worse than I thought he was going to be. And, and Karras is inconsistent to begin with. He could give you 30. But after all, he can go 2 for 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Knicks were putting an extra guy in the paint. Like it wasn't even like playing off of Isaac. They had him in the paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I wrote for today in the athletic was, to me, one of the most important stretches is the end of the first quarter and the first four minutes of the second quarter when you have to have multiple subs on the floor. You can't play, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's parts in the game where you're going to have multiple bench guys in the game. It's just, yeaah. Unless you're not starting one of your key guys or pulling them two minutes into the game, you have to rely on somebody. I think Dean gets another chance, Dean Wade, because they have no other playable bigs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lamar Stevens, again, can't shoot. He's not a consistent three-point shooter. He plays bigger than what he is, but he's not a shooter. So I think you have to give Dean another look. Karis obviously is going to get another look. I don't think Ricky plays. You don't need him to. You have two ball handlers on the floor and, and Darius and Donovan. One of them is going to be on the floor the entire game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you don't need to play Ricky necessarily. So I think he comes out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we also have to address, like, there's risk in playing Danny. It's not, if it was such a slam dunk, it would have happened already. There is high risk in playing him. First of all, he's gotta make shots to stay on the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he goes, and I've been his biggest proponent of anyone. If he goes 0 for 6, he's not helping you because he's going to get cooked on the defensive end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna hunt him in pick and rolls. Whoever he's guarding, they're gonna try and get him on the move. He can't move as well as he did four or five years ago. He's a liability defensively. But, if he's making shots and you're trading three for two, I'll take that trade. They're gonna hunt him with who?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to defend yourself. I, I thought, I thought, I don't want to get off on a tangent. I didn't like that call. I didn't think Draymond deserved a flagrant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and that's what's fascinating because like if you look at the, if you look at the talent of the player, I'll take Evan Mobley and Jared Allen over Mitchell Robinson and Julius Randall every day of the week. Like they are, the Cavs have the better basketball players, but when it comes to size and strength,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's, it doesn't help you now. Evan's gotta get bigger. Like he's gotta get bigger and stronger, but that's not gonna happen before game two. No, but, but I mean, there were moments where Julius treated him like a toddler, just threw him out of the way. And that's the, and that's why I said before the series started, I didn't like this matchup. I really don't like this matchup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evan went 3 of 11 on paint shots, shots on the paint. If he goes 6 of 11, which is not a big ask, they win the game. So if he, and I think he will, I think if he finishes around the basket better, more, more, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More demonstrative, more physical around the basket. That's a plus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know this is the top heavy roster. We know the top four are going to carry this team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cavs top four played more minutes than any foursome in the first round, or in the first opening games of any series by a wide margin. They were on the floor together for like 32 minutes. Next closest was like 28 minutes. And that four,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously play really well together. And if you look at their four man lineup versus all the other format, like best four man lineups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're right there with teams that won their opening games by double figures. So the four isn't the problem. It's finding just two or three guys and you don't need them to win you the game. You just need them to not lose you the game. And if they can just find two or three guys, if Jetty can repeat his performance, which is not a given, but if he can repeat his performance,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you can get something out of Danny or Dean or someone else, you just need someone to just hold the rope for three or four minutes. That's really all that you're asking for here. But there's one more thing I'll say. If I'm the Knicks, Julius Randall first came back from an ankle. Branson was in foul trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quigley played like crap. R.J. Barrett played like crap. That was not their best game by a long shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Donovan is not LeBron. Like let's, let's be clear. Sorry Earl. Donovan is not LeBron. But he can be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Kyrie, you know, he is that level. He's probably better. And we saw it, you know, we saw Donovan the last two and a half minutes of the game, basically say, get the hell out of the way, give me the ball and move and let me do this. And he is capable of doing that. He almost dragged them to a win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he can, he can control the game. I mean, I've seen LeBron controlled a 48 minute game, played all 48 minutes and controlled every moment of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When, when you, when you did have LeBron going down 1-0 in a series, okay, it's not ideal, but it's, you know, whatever. Not that big of a deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels different with the young team that hasn't ever been there when you drop the first game at home. It's just, it's just different. And that's why, to your point, I think the sense of urgency goes up a little bit. Had they won that game, had they figured out a way to win that game, then you have a little bit more time to figure things out. You don't have that much time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rondo, right. Westbrook. But it was a little concerning to me that the Cavs first trip down the floor, that was their first look. We want to get Isaac Okoro involved. We want Isaac Okoro to take our first shot. And he missed it and I thought, oh lord, that's not a good sign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jason? I really thought they would lose game one and I think they absolutely win game two. I think it's 1-1 going back to the Garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little bit. I thought it would be a little bit closer among the three of them. I wouldn't have voted for Jaren just because he didn't play enough. He played enough games. Yea, he didn't play enough. But he's an All-Star. And Brooke had a great year, you know, all credit to him for what he's doing. And it might turn, I mean the way Evan got thrown around the other night. Little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give us a couple examples if you can, like what player is like, which, which music?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] La la la la la. I love what you guys are doing. What's the sticker on your, on your laptop say? I love that sticker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when Mikey brought this to me yesterday, we had a conversation about it. He gave me a list of names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the guy I chose wasn't even on, on the list of candidates. Who was that? Nick Chubb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How is it anyone but Nick Chubb? Nick epitomizes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole city of Cleveland with the blue collar work ethic and just keep your mouth shut and do your job and always makes headlines for the right reasons, never for the wrong reasons, doesn't say a whole lot, just goes out and does what's required of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is Nick, you know, he's not in the LeBron category of superstar, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's one of the best running backs in the NFL, one of the best players in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't think there's really any debate. And I love Jose Ramirez.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, it should be. I would even say it should be Jose, just because he's in the MVP race and, and one of the top three basemen in the league. But, but baseball is what it is in Cleveland. Unfortunately, the Browns are what they are here and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you could make a case for Miles Garrett. You could make a case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe for Deshaun. I don't think Deshaun's been here long enough. I don't think he played well enough. And I think there's too much baggage there right now. Uh, Miles I think is looked at kind of as a diva. And sometimes disappears on the field at times. Nick never disappears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I thought it should be Jose. He's the best player on his team in town as far as I'm concerned. He's the only one catching MVP, MVP votes year in and year out. So it should be Jose. It's not Jose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think, uh, it probably will never be a guardian, unfortunately. Uh, I don't think Donovan's been here long enough to really establish that. And I just, I, I really think it's Nick. It was, I mean, that was the first name that came to my mind when this came up was Nick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we're gonna have five candidates, we're gonna put two up for a vote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This ain't no improvement year for Nick. Nick has nothing left to prove.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dunno, where you comin' up with this 12? Sound good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of that is happening. They do want to refurbish the stadium. They are going to, they have massive plans to move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The part that I guess it's in question is, the part that didn't make sense to me was leaving...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean the Bears moved out of Soldier Field during their renovation and played in Champaign, but that was for one year. I could see, and this is such a massive undertaking, maybe it does get to the point where they have to exit the stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't see them leaving for multiple years. Uh, I've been wrapped up in the Cavs. I haven't really checked around much on the, on this whole stadium thing. I trust the reporting of Channel 3. They say it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not true, then I'll fall in line on that. Uh, but I do think they are, they are going to renovate the stadium. I've already been on record multiple times on this show. I would leave Cleveland. I would leave the waterfront. I would go to Independence, get all kinds of tax breaks. I'd build.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An empire at 480 and 77 at that interchange and it sounds like that's not the, that's not where they're at right now though. They're intent on connecting the waterfront to downtown and if Jimmy can pull it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's a, we're a long way from that point. There's a lot of finances involved. Brad, you know that better than anybody. The money that's involved with a project like this. But if he can pull it off...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it could go a long way in absolving a lot of the hard feelings that Brown's have, Brown's fans have towards the Haslam family. Uh, this could be a nice feather in his cap of doing a lot of good for the city of Cleveland. So let me, let me come at you from the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you put a roof on it you're adding at least a half a billion dollars to another billion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see the sprite challenge a few months back? Yes. It was hilarious. Try and chug an entire bottle of sprite without burping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Briefly, yeaah, briefly. Very, very briefly, but wonderful guy. This was really, really sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a great gig. Yea, I just found out during the show actually. I got a memo. So you explained to the folks Jim Trotter. Jim Trotter, of course, is the phenomenal reporter. We've had him on the show. Yea. UCSS legend. Yea, who worked for NFL Network and really held Roger to the fire over the NFL's hiring practices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, last month maybe? Yeaah. And I just got a memo today during the show that he will join us in the next coming weeks as a national columnist for the Athletic on the NFL. So thrilled now that I get to call Jim Trotter, a colleague of mine at the Athletic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can get a time out and get my personnel on the floor. I'll put Isaac on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And thank you for doing that, because now we actually have some really good news to share.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we're gonna have it as, I don't know, a weekend house, a summer house. It's located in, I don't know, the most beautiful place on earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we could because there was a neighbor in this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the things is included in this house. It's a little guest house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this our new cottage? Yes, it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, did you know that Jiwon is in the local newspaper this weekend?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this says, the silversmith behind John Adjinton's jewelry. It's a nice article.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so funny because when I met you, you didn't even like to be on photos. Look what's happening with you now!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we are finally back home after a long day, but it's been a good day!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish you all a wonderful weekend and I see you very soon. Muah! Bye bye! Bye bye!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm Andy. Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel so you can see more awesome videos. Like videos of me getting scared or saying embarrassing things. Like ball peen hammer. And also some videos of Ellen and other celebrities. If you're into that sort of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huh? Huh? Huh-huh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm keeping Herbert, this one's really tough. I'm trading Watson, and I'm cutting Lamar Jackson. Same as me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that either brings back much into trade at the moment, but I still think Watson would bring back more. Might be crazy, but that's what I'm gonna do. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keeping Nick Chubb. I'm trading Jonathan Taylor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it probably would be smart to keep Jonathan Taylor because he's the youngest. And that's why I trade him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, Jonathan Taylor's only been great one year, so he's still not sure he's gonna be consistently great, which is why I go with Chubb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm cutting Brandon Iuke. You're doing good with these. These are all really...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was an interesting trio of receivers. I like all three. I actually like all three of those guys a lot. Uh, I just think Terry McLauren's been on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terrible teams, but I think he's the best of those three and he's younger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well he certainly, I don't know if he's younger than Ayu, but he's definitely younger than Cooper. So there you go, I think he's the best one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I would actually take Elijah Moore, keep. Gabe Davis, uh, Josh Palmer trade, cause I think there's some upside there. And Gabe Davis cut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fryermuth, I mean, I think he's got a little more upside than Njoku.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would trade Fryermuth and I would cut David and Joe. But again, very close between all three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would trade Miles Garrett, I would cut DJ Watt. I'm probably nuts for that one, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, I would keep Tyron Taylor, I would trade, not that any of these guys have trade value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm keeping Tyvis, I'm trading Jordan, I get a haul for Jordan, and I'm cutting Tiger. See? He's a mess the last decade. I love you, Tyvis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Effective crime control remains, in my judgment, effective gun control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In an organization that is so beset by factionalism, his being unmoored to any particular point of view is actually very helpful for him in terms of being able to ride the torrents that have occasionally swept through the NRA and emerge always on top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NRA wins because it's patient and because long after America's dismay about these gunmaskers has faded, the NRA and its membership are still thinking about guns.

[Assistant] The NRA wins by picking fights. Its power swells in a certain regard, uh, every time it has its members feel under attack, that their rights are under attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was in a context of, uh, sorrow, uh, extreme, uh, I mean, anger and frustration about why can't we do something about this. It was like enough is enough is enough. Put together something for me, Joe.

[Assistant] They, they will agree upon a date in the future that they both can attend to, right? It's not that he's getting out the deposition. He's gonna, he's gonna be deposed at some point in time. Probably a, a one day, two day max depose or, and what I'm thinking. And then, then it's just gonna go as normal course. So I don't, I'm not making more of it than it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I, I, I've listened to Watson and Turner. He said we're not paying anymore cases that we don't think that there was, that people think that we're guilty on, right? He said I'm not doing that anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, cause some of the stuff Bull, I saw that some of the stuff that's coming out of that camp that I'm reading, reading, reading online, they're like, this is real, this is real fishy stuff going on here, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that that's the case either. The level of merit, I don't think is the case. I think at some point he made a decision to just move it by his move. Okay. I mean, that's fair. We don't know. Who knows?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems that way. This one here seems to be on another scale and the other one is, is totally different. This was one that was one of the originals and she was like, I'm not taking them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like going on here, right? So Drew Rosenhouse is a guy who's going to play hardball with the bra. Note to the Browns and Bria. This is the smoke is coming your way. Oh, eventually it's just not right now, but the smoke is coming your way. Yeah, news to everybody else out here in fan land. A lot of players don't like where they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. They don't say nothing. Yeah, they're like, man, this ain't my type of place. That's right. I'm a Seattle guy. I'm not from no Midwest. Yeah, I'm trying to get back out that way right from down south.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how they do it. That's it. This is not uncommon. It's not uncommon. That's right. G knew some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be careful here, son. Be careful here, son, because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You drop words like this, that comes out before the draft. Now when I'm in the draft room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking sad at Greg Newsome. Like, let me see what's happening. Is this, is this a salvage job? A Rosen house? Man, because now I go to draft board. Maybe I wasn't thinking corn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. They don't make as much money. He wanna be, he wanna be right on one on one coverage. That's what he wanna be. Yeah. But.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't have, he need a mouthpiece for that. Yeah, right. Right. He's not doing, he's not doing my man in Baltimore's move. Right. Because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to my boy, uh, Gene Newsome for being strategic. Oh yeaah. You gotta be strategic now, cause you gotta, everybody gotta represent their own interests here. Yes. Greg Newsome is the CEO of Greg Newsome, right? Jimmy Haslam is the CEO of the Cleveland Browns, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fast gear, the CEO, the coaching staff, right? So several, everybody got to represent their interests here. And sometimes you have, if you can't do it directly, you have to get a mouthpiece to do it for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you have to think that Greg Newsome knows where his strong suits are, right? And he's saying me playing in the slot is not helpful to my long-term career. I've got to get back to that. I've got to get back to that one-on-one cover is where I, where I'm going to thrive at, right? That's where I get that. And maybe the Browns feel that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I would say this from a player coach perspective, I would have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The player has no idea. He's swimming. He doesn't know what the game plan is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How are you going to help me get better? Because I got to eat here. I got to feed families and everything else, right? So I got to, how are you helping me? Because you want me to go out here and run myself with this brick wall for you. How you, the coach should really pull him to the side. I look at this is what I need. I right. Stay with me. I got your best interests at heart here. Trust me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give me what you got. Right. And you gonna, it's gonna be okay. Somebody gonna tell him it's gonna be okay. But hasn't that already happened because you did it last year. A lot of time. Let me tell you this boo. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are, these are veteran moves, Mikey. So a veteran coach will pull you to the side, right? And say here, I'll give you a case in point. I keep going. I always go back to Maryland basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brenda Fees, coach of Maryland's one basketball, went to Diamond Miller and said, when everybody was bailing out of here, Angel Reason was bailing out of here, you stay with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's going to be okay. I'm going to get you where you're trying to go, which was the WNBA last night. Diamond Miller was the number two draft in the WNBA draft last night. Nice because stay with me. I'm going to get you where you want to go. That's the conversation a real veteran coach. Yeah, but in the game 21 years has to tell the player like I got your interest at heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so, so, so to your point for a guy like Newson, let me tell you something. This is how you get longevity and pay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One, alright, so maybe they have you playing out of the position you want to play. Well, guess what? Ball out at that position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give them the business, right? Even though you mad about it, give them the business. The other thing, be available for every game. I'm not missing a game here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can't think about that. He has to ball out. He's got to play well. Yes. Period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it is what it is. Let me tell you who stays working in professional sports. Who stays working in professional sports? Those that can do multiple things. Yup. You can do a number of things. You become a valuable asset. The longer you get in the tooth, he can do that. He can do this. He can do that. But when you're a one dimensional person and that dimension runs dry,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree that this is the next step in evolution. You know, there's a team that has not been in a playoff since the Bronleys. A lot of these young players have never seen or smelled a playoff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the first step is to get one under your belt. That's winning series. Not just you got a first. The first is that you actually made a playoff. Yes. Now, the next evolution is to win a series. That's right. And then anything from their bull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the Cavaliers will win it, but a 4-5 matchup is typically one of the better matchups in the first round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a four or five matchup. It's a four or five matchup. It's going to be listen because I listen to the New Yorkers, right? Because I hear the New Yorkers think that they like if we lose at Cleveland, we're going to be disappointed. This is exactly what they're saying up there. It's a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stephen A Smith was on NBA live the other day, right? And this is what he says, he says.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From that is responsible for doing us in which would probably be the reason, right? Yeah, it's going to be all holy hell for them in New York. He said that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, this is what's going on. He said, this, this cannot happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game to have, the game that's going to be the game of games is going to be game one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because now you're gonna see, because New York, if they're smart, gonna try to punch you in the mouth and get you, right? So, will we be ready for the punch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think there's a, there's a couple, there's a number of twos out here. You got,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Randall, you got Garland, you got Mobley, you got Brunson. I think though all four of those could be a two. Right. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, because I'm not sure what Randall looks like in the playoff, right? I've seen him self-destruct himself too. True.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my 6'7", right? Okay. I got the cat here. Let me be transparent and clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cavaliers, I've got them winning against the Knicks in a close series. In seven? In a close. Six to seven, right? Series, right? Because neither one of them, cause this is what you're gonna find out, Mikey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the bright lights of Broadway actually come on, right, you're going to see who's going to melt. Guaranteed that somebody's going to melt, right? This is what's going to live in infamy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say it'll be more Nick players melting than Cavalier players, right? And I think that the separate the only separator in this entire thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's 45 for the Cavaliers. That's the only separator here that's going to carry them over the hump here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give me her. He would have been a nice ad. So, so I would tell you who's not going to melt under the light to Broadway. Josh Hart. I'm gonna melt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So all of us, the weakest ever, right? Cause it happens all the time, right? So it's not like the first time ever in the history of the league, the teammates had a little, many little altercation, right? And it usually comes back together. I think, uh, uh, the guard from Ohio State, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's his name? Uhm, that's in Minnesota now. Uhm, Angela Russell? No, came from Utah. Uhm, Oh, Conley. Uh, yeah, Conley. I'm sorry. Mike, Mike, my bad. Uh, I threw a blank. So, Mike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, hold on, Brad. Are you saying the talk's nothing or the punch is nothing or both? I'm saying both. I mean, it happens. Yeah, it happens. It just happens, right? And it just happened on TV in front of people. Yeah, but it happens. So people act like, oh, this is the worst thing ever. Like, let me tell you something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and I said here, so now I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna lessen my ability to do that now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you hit me out here. I'm going to listen here. That punch there wasn't worse than the Draymond Green. Oh, no, listen, no, listen, he didn't get no suspension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pete, Pete, the problem to me is this and I, you know, I'm a former player, right? The problem to me is this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the problem, right? And I get it. You're trying to do it yourself. You want to keep it in the house. Your family won't pay the fee. I said, there's a purpose here, right? Because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a firm believer in the right mouthpiece. This thing would have been done a minute ago, right? Because it would have brought both sides to the table said, here's the deal that works for everybody. Everybody walks away. All you have now is a lot of animosity here and I'm trying to see how this is going to tell me how it's going to get resolved here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, go ahead. Go into the fourth slide. Yeah. Fifth slide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six luck? Yeaah, yeaah, yeaah. That's not trending very well. No, no, no, no. Go ahead, Mike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've watched every game. I'm waiting to see on this, on this, on this, this cow, on this clock. How many pictures end up on IR?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what's the, what are the steps for, if you're collecting cars, what is it that people who are

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So tell me, the cars that were, that ended up being worth an extreme amount of money. Rookies. How do they appreciate to that level? It's. What drives it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I, I, I, this, I, this is what, what I remember. Yeah. Uh, so Michael was enamored with Adidas, right? And so he was Adidas guy, going to be Adidas, Adidas, Adidas all the way through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somehow David Falk and, uh, pro serve was his agency. Yeah, got involved in this Nike thing, right? And the next thing I knew it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were coming up with this, this stick now. I don't know if mom was behind it like that. Yeah. I mean, who knows if it's true. It's a movie, but like that. But, uh, you have to remember when those shoes hit the one thing I remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how it started. Then they came with the white version, the white version. And then they had a clip on, he was on Letterman, I saw this last night, he was on Letterman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh. Who Michael was? Yes, he was a letterman. And he was interviewing about these shoes. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's like, I know they're ugly, right? That's what he said. That's what Mike said. I was mom. He said they're ugly, right? And then they were like, the letterman said, uh, you know, he said, why do you say they're ugly? He said, because, you know, he got mainly black and black and red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what Michael said, right? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on, hold on, hold on. I want to go get to that. So those shoes came out, they were the freakiest thing because everybody wanted them because you had never seen a shoe look like this. Right, right, right. So you go out and buy those shoes, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they were the most uncomfortable shoes ever. Really remember when he went back in the in the near the time of his retirement and played it played 55 55 in the garden in those in those original Air Jordan, but he was wearing 45 and I was like, right. And I was like this. Oh, this she got to be killing him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say who had the best shoe out in the market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adidas had the best shoe on the market. It was comfortable. It was functional. It did what it was supposed to do. It was high line, high level. And then Nike jumps in with this crazy look. And they got everybody swinging on the look. And then they just made better product after that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want joints. Them is the hot joints. The funny thing is when we be kidding him about this thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watch this thing at Christmas time because my kids are involved in it, right? Because when the latest stuff come out, they want the stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're paying him crazy four times the amount of what they would cost back in the day for the same shoe that came out in 89. It's the same freaking shoes with a little different twist on it. And I like this kid laughing all the way to the bank. He laughing to the bank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Regardless of whether I was getting paid or not, is that what you're asking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you just had to pick based on what was the felt the best on your foot. Uh, it was Adidas and then Adidas. It was Adidas to a point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then when Nike put that pressure on Adidas, you know, Adidas fell off. Oh yeaah. Your product went like, like, like hot garbage. They went to running shoes though. And then Nike took off from there. So I used to wear a three quarter thing at Adidas, right? And so my first contract was with Adidas. I would have waited for Adidas without a contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because I wore them all through college at Ohio State. And they were just comfortable and they were efficient. Contract, contract money good? Contract money was alright. Brad, did you, what size shoe do you wear? Uhm, now? Yea. 16. Well, what was it then? 15.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to make them specifically for you? Nah, they were, they were, well, the soup corner would ship them to you, so. Right, right. You could get 15. I'll wear 15.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then Nike came out, that's when Nike came out. So then I switched from Adidas and then I went to Reebok. I was playing under Reebok for a while and then for three years and then I went to Nike but Nike came out with this shoe that Barclay had that was called the Air 180.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was at the Sixers, they were red, white, and blue. Right? So I checked and the guy was playing with the pistons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rear white blue. Yeah, as I checked into the game and go to the free throw line line up next to Barkley because the free throw being taken and he looked down. He like. You got you got you got the air 180s on. Yeah, I do.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another beautiful sunset. I've been up on the mountain here, uh, to film. Now I'm back to the car. I'm gonna try to catch every minute of this last light before the dark night arrives. Where's my car key? Oh, it's here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I want to take photos, I wanna film, I wanna vlog, I wanna do everything, and there's not time for everything, so I had to focus on what I was actually going to do here, so. I am right now in... I'm in heaven right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this is that perfect time of year where anything that's out there is out there for a reason. Uhm, and it's all kind of the gamesmanship and we've heard


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some rumors that Houston Bryce Young might be their only guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if they don't get Bryce Young, that they might be interested in potentially moving down the board. So then you ask yourself, okay, is this Carolina now getting cute with Houston to try to prompt and steal an extra pick because Houston was in talks with Chicago and then they balked the trading up. So it's all that misinformation season. And then from the book's perspective too, right? Like if there's, if they can,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take advantage of the misinformation that's out there to change the odds and kind of hedge themselves with the actual outcomes on Thursday night in a couple of weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all part of the games which hit this time of year and it's lying season at its best. So I'm enjoying the ride and I'm trying not to read too much in between the lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's Stroud. I think CJ has the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most translatable skillset as far as what you're asking quarterback to do with the next level to what he did at Ohio State. I know people will look at the helmet and they'll say, Oh, Ohio State quarterbacks, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the story of recent Ohio State quarterbacks is still unwritten because we're still figuring out what Justin Fields is capable of doing in Chicago too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been more impressed with Stroud, his style of play as I've continued to watch the tape of not just the quarterbacks, but other position groups and kind of watching them in peripherals that I think CJ has the most direct translation. And for Carolina, look, they've been beating around the bush on potentially going out and getting a quarterback for like five, six years now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think the pathway to that is A, Houston being in position to get whatever their guy is, whether that's Bryce Young or somebody else. And then the Raiders...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really the first year of it's guaranteed and that's it. So I think the Raiders are kind of the team that if you're going to get four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the Raiders willing to play a price to go to three that the Colts wouldn't pay to play defense and just trade up to three preventatively to prevent somebody from jumping them to get the fourth of the four quarterbacks. But no, it's, it's a very binary thing. It's the haves or the have-nots. And if you don't have a quarterback and these teams that we're talking about don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels like there's one of these guys every year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's to be determined. I do know he's declining visits from teams not currently scheduled to pick inside the top 10 according to his agent. And that gives me a pretty good sense that somebody in the top 10 is going to love him enough to pick him. Or he might not go 3 where that may have been considered chalk when the draft order was set.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I still think that he's, he's gonna probably hear himself off in the first 10 picks just based on the talent. And it's, it's going to be a matter of who's comfortable with the things that have come up with him as far as the effort. And of course the off the field stuff with him that came out, uh, kind of in front of the national championship game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think in the right situation, yes. Now you, you think about Philadelphia, who's, who's picking at 30. Uh, that's a team that needs a running back. They just lost miles Sanders to Carolina and free agency on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a pretty impressive deal. I think it was around seven, seven and a half million dollars per year or something in that ballpark. They brought in Rashad Penny on a one year deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Eagles are kind of at a spot where I think they're kind of playing with house money. They were expected to lose at least one of their two corners. They brought them both back. So they've kind of axed that need off of their list of urgent things to address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And because of that, I think maybe they are in a position to draft a player like Jamir because you're absolutely right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the mismatch ability that he has to line up in the backfield or line up in the slot and get really creative with the things that you do with him before the snap and then manufacture him touches plus his instincts as a runner in general to be able to actually carry the ball in a traditional role adds up to somebody who should take a significant amount of snaps early on in his pro career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think the linebacker groups are really good opportunity where, uh, one of the top testers in the group was Jack Campbell from Iowa and he's very different from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Owusu Koromoa as kind of the, the best of the bunch that I think is in-house for Cleveland right now, where Owusu Koromoa is a little undersized. He's a space guy. Campbell's more of a traditional stack linebacker with a lot of length, but surprised everybody with how well he tested athletically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's someone, if he gets past the picks in the late twenties, he may end up just based off positional value and linebackers in general, not being a premium position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sliding to the middle of the second round. And if you want to put the picks together and it might take a 2024 pick in addition to go up and get that done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's pro ready, the instincts are off the charts there. He's been a starter for like three seasons now. I think Jack Campbell's your guy at linebacker if you want to make a splash. As far as speed receiver goes, I think there's a lot of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of really attractive options. If you want Speed Scott from Cincinnati, Tyler Scott, I think is a really good name to watch here is kind of an unheralded name. If Josh Downs from North Carolina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, gets into the middle of the second round as well. Uh, he's not big, but he's actually surprisingly good in contested catch situations for a guy who's 5'9", 175, but he's got the speed and I think he's versatile where you can line him up in the slot or you can line him up at Z on the perimeter and ask him to run deeper developing routes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course you think about Watson and the success that he had in Houston with Will Fuller is kind of having that guy in house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I see enough parallels there where I think downs could be a name to watch if you wanted to go up, make a splash and not covered having a bunch of picks, but having more impactful picks that are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like Derek Hall quite a bit. Uh, I think he has a pretty high ceiling. He's a little stiff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he is somebody who has a lot of power. I think he would compliment Miles Garrett pretty well. I think he'd be a good change-up pace from Agbo Okorankwu as well, who obviously Cleveland signed in for agency. He's a little bit more undersized, uh, speed rusher type, uh, Derek Hall, prototypical build.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if I'm looking at positional value, if I'm looking at the value of those players, I think Derek Hall, who has kind of gotten stagnant a little bit, there was a long time there at the end of the regular season in college football where you thought this might be a first round pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that's a guy that kind of has my eye that I would like out of those five options.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the Mayok dancing bear one will always have a soft spot in my heart just cause it paints such this vivid, uh, picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you see guys that it embodies where they're really stocky, but they're really wide and they just have this nimbleness about them that I think really hits home. So give me, give me the Mayockism of dancing bears is my favorite draftism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm selling. I remember one that too long ago that we were talking about Davis Webb going in the first round and you get some of these other guys that early April, late March agent season, trying to pump guys up, gas guys up. There's a lot to like about Henin Hooker, but he's the quintessential in my mind, uh, day two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is almost a different game than what you're going to play in the NFL. And he only really took his step when getting into that offense as compared to playing at Virginia Tech. So I'm selling on Hooker. I think you get the other four guys in the first round and you'll have four first round quarterbacks and they'll probably be off the board in the top 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're going to take this year, they were very quick to exercise the fifth year option for two. And that's pretty rare. Usually the fifth year options, they don't get pulled until.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the last week of April or the first week of May, kind of closer to the deadline, but I think the dolphins have, have kind of been sick and tired of after the Brian Flores era of, of flirting with trading for Deshaun Watson for 18 months and not dismissing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael McDaniel really believes in this guy if he can stay healthy. And I think they wanted to kind of put it to bed early this year. So I think their effort this year will be, hey, can we get an offensive lineman? They've got two needs on the offensive line at left guard and right tackle. Can we get a tight end in the building?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, can we go out and get a, a defensive tackle or a linebacker? They have two day, two picks, try to get players that can contribute this year and then let to approve. He could stay healthy on the fifth year option next year or, or going into his fourth year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then make the decision long-term once they get back to having a refilled draft capital because they traded a one for Bradley Chubb and they traded a one for Tyreek Hill and a bunch of stuff in the last 12 months. So I think they'll ride this year out and let Tua kind of decide for him with how healthy he can stay this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we need to figure out what the heck's going on with Lamar Jackson in Baltimore and obviously the Odell Beckham signing is a promising step because he and Lamar hopped on the phone and were chatting it up. I think Jacksonville's a good bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd be interested to see what the Chargers are able to do with some of their weak spots. Uh, they play or they're going to be in a more competitive division this year. I think the Broncos will be much better than they were last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the Chargers have to get better on the defensive line and run defense and they've had some attrition from a talent perspective. So I think the Chargers are one to watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because of playing in the West that I think will be better. And then obviously if Aaron Rodgers comes to the AFC East, you have to acknowledge the Dolphins as potentially being the third team in the AFC East if they're not able to stay healthy in key spots as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'd have to dig into the archives. I remember watching the name. I remember writing some notes down. Was definitely blue chip prospect, top of the first round kind of guy from my memory off the top of my head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The decision was to act as a mechanical and technicians, you know, who is coming to take care about the airplane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they penetrate very quick into the, to the airplane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's wearing those Adidas flip flops, you know, I mean, it's just, he's allowed to, so I think that is why, but those same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there is, you know, in a time where I thought we were potentially going to come together to talk, it really feels like potentially lines were being drawn very hard and people were just separating further and further away from each other. And as somebody that loves to not get involved in that as a spectator, it's been an interesting couple of weeks here. It's been an interesting couple of weeks here, this whole thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A couple years ago, people's numbers were all getting inflated and then they were ripping and then a fraud case came down on people because advertisers were getting charged a rate that they thought they were getting and it weren't real numbers. Something happened with Facebook, I think like, I don't know, a year ago maybe, with fake numbers they've had to change it all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People buy viewers. We do know that on YouTube. How does that work? How do you, what is that, like what do you do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, cause I've gotten like a hundred of those messages from people. And I think if you go through it, but the issue is with these people is that do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I thought the purge that happened on Twitter was potentially going to be an eye-opener for people when people are losing 300, 400,000 followers overnight out of nowhere. Oh no. Whenever you do things like this, people are going to find out, you know, like all you're really doing is fucking your future self. That's all you really do. Cause your advertisers aren't going to be happy. Uh, you're lying to people about this and ultimately in the end, you're going to get exposed. I think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're going to get got. You got to get yours, I guess, early, but you're going to get got at some point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Billy. What's up? How do people pay for these views, whether it's on YouTube during a live show for concurrent viewers or for videos afterwards? Is it the same way that somebody shows up in the DMS and says, Hey, you could buy this. Is that what works?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so it's not that much money and it makes your numbers look a lot better, but there's no activity in any of your shit. So it's like, for instance, for Twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was somebody that came on our, was supposed to come on our show or did come on our show and I didn't know this person existed but they had a lot of followers and I was very surprised on Twitter because I feel like I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to say OG at Twitter, but I've been around Twitter a long time. I feel like I know who the movers and shakers on Twitter are. I've, I've spent a lot of invested a lot of hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then there's no activity. So like this guy on Twitter, he was supposed to come on the show and he was coming on the show strictly because he had a bunch of followers is what we're told. So then I didn't know about him. So I went to his Twitter and I scrolled through his Twitter and I saw zero activity on any of his tweets. So if you have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few hundred thousand followers and you're getting zero retweets one because my worst tweet, at least somebody will retweet it. Just my followers might feel bad for me for how bad it is. So if you see somebody with that big of a number with no action on any other shit, it's like, Oh, this is clearly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is clearly a fake number here. So it's a very, it's very, very interesting. It's just very, that whole game is interesting. And that's one of the downfalls by the way of like business to social media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in the end, the truth always comes out. It's just the way it is. The truth always wins. That's how it goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's when Billy started investigating, by the way. That was when. What was that? Well, we had a massive draft show and we thought it was a big joke. The numbers we were putting up compared to everybody else, right? Like we, cause we're relatively new to the YouTube game at that point. The draft special was our first real, you know, like special thing that we did. And we're looking at the numbers and we went live for what? Four and a half, five hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I didn't even really see a lot of the numbers. I'd go out to go piss or whatever and people would be like, there is a lot of people watching this. And I'm like, really? That's awesome. Like, and then afterwards we had a full like debrief after the draft or whatever. And that was when Mad Mel had just taken over the internet at that point for his, uh, excitement for the Jordan love pick. And then,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, well, did anybody else have any shows or whatever? We started going through everybody else's shows that were live in their numbers. And then old Billy tubes was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was like, there's no, there's zero action on this thing. So that's when we got into all this information that this just happened here is cause we did some investigating cause we would like to know if we're on a level playing field here, if we're going to try to be compete as a YouTube show, you know, against other people, we'd like to know there's a level playing field and we found it like, oh, it's like 20 bucks for 5,000 views. That's, I assume people are pulling the trigger on that all the time. We refuse to do it because truth will come out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yea, who knows? AQ ordered pizza in Michigan from a place that had 75 5-star reviews. That's it. Right? And he was like, it's going to be great pizza. 75 5-star reviews. I was like, those aren't real. Like those are probably just the employees. He's like, no, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like younger companies know, but there's a lot of companies that, like Coca-Cola for instance, pulling out of Facebook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About what they're looking for and all this shit, and I'm like, well, none of those numbers matter. Like, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That number right there does not matter, right? So you'd be kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could just cook this entire thing and fuck you over, but that number right there does not matter at all. I just want to let you know that. And it's like a, it's an education game because it's still relatively new. This digital marketing for a lot of those old companies and they have no idea, especially they have no clue that you can just buy 10,000 views or anything like that. I mean, you just have no idea. That's why it's a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy world. It's a modern day gold rush, this internet. It's a modern day gold rush. It is, and it's a wild wild west.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, I did that a few years back early in my career, so it, it really helped me. And uh, and I just tried to incorporate it in all my training along with uh, what John Trilling taught me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, and uh, I would say of my generation, Demarcus, we're kind of, he kind of shed a lot of light because he was real good with his, like doing a hand-to-hand during the, during his pass rushes. But.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I'm six feet, I was, I played at six feet, 235 pounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes you just can't, you're not gonna be able to run around guys all the time. You just can't spin on guys all the time. They sitting there waiting on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now you gotta use their weight against them. If I got a 320 pound offensive lineman going a particular direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'ma keep him going that direction. I'm not going to try to power him and do something that I'm not. I'm going to hit him with precision strikes. Not, not, it's not about how hard you hit anybody. It's about where you hit him. And I think anybody in the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, MMA world knows this. Boxing world. If you catch somebody right on the chin, he's gonna go to sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can punch him right in the jaw. He may be, he may eat that, but you catch him right on that chin. He's going to sleep. And, uh, as far as, uh, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pass rush play, strikes to the sternum, consistent strikes to the sternum, inside tit, outside tit, run the door open, and uh, and controlling the wrist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's impressive because most, you know, the kickers and punters, they, and the long snappers, they're golfing by that time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be excited to see what he does. Yeah. Yeah, I'm rooting for him. That's my, that's this big brother right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably won't. Pat, why don't you show Robert your, your, uh, you told me a couple days ago on the show you have five pass rush moves. Why don't you stand up and give him, give him a shot and see what Robert thinks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This race not just returns to the calendar, but maybe stays on it as well. Toto Wolf has just released his comments before the Grand Prix and it's pretty much all about the importance of China as


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a big place, obviously over a billion people here. It's somewhere that F1 can grow and prosper. So I think important that this weekend goes well. I think now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The contract for the Grand Prix, people might know this, is for only this year and next year. I can shine a light, shine a lantern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On, on, uh, how it's going to proceed from there because there are going to be discussions about extending it, but I think both sides want to see how this weekend goes. After the gap, we are expecting a sellout crowd, but expect talks to take place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the wake of this hopefully successful event, uh, and, and let's see if F1 can re-establish itself here. Well, it was a 2004, the first Grand Prix year, I think. So it's, it's a 20 year tradition now. It's at least a footprint, but the squad will want to, to build it out, I think, especially the car manufacture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Advertising around, uh, maybe a bit more on the local TV, which I've been trying to watch as well. The Joel thing is, is, is curious, isn't it? Because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people have told me maybe not too many business figures in China have got behind them. Maybe there's been a bit of a sense that China wants winners. It doesn't want athletes, sports people coming 12th, 13th on a regular basis. Maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they were talking about Lowell Dang in the NBA about the impacts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That had on, on, on basketball being popular in China. Snooker's on the television here a lot and we know how good the young Chinese cohorts are in Snooker as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last thing they heard was it was, it was a no entry for them. You're not getting in 25 or 26 and lo and behold here they're opening their new factory. They're spending a lot of money still, ehm, the Andretti's, millions of pounds. They've got 120 staff on the payroll in the UK. They want to raise that to 400.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Signal to me that they, they, they still believe they can, they can persuade formula one management got the certification from the FIE, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They believe they can win the arguments, which were that they didn't add value to the sport. That's what F1 said. They wouldn't be competitive enough to improve things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that also that they think they need to bring in something a bit more substantial than a partnership with General Motors. Formula One wants this, this actual engine to be developed and built, which Michael Andretti told me that is happening. It will be there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very impressive, people. I mean, I'm not surprising no one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Few around Michael Andretti and his father. They, they, they, they're so substantial. I mean, they're, they're, they're, they're legends of motor racing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be great to have been involved in Formula One.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, to show they're a net asset to the sport in commercial terms as well, but glad to see them pressing ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's effectively a design office at the moment, so it's, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimately they're going to, the aerodynamicists will work on that campus in Silverstone next to where Aston Martin are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finish product will be assembled over in Indianapolis. Uh, so there's, there's very little in other than desks and computers at the moment, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of what Bernie said there, I think people will ask them why aren't they buying an existing team? Why isn't that the better move? Because he's saying you need time to ramp up to make something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's got a function, and why not do that? They genuinely believe that coming at it afresh is a better base. They can improve from what already exists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not only that, but I think whatever avenues they've looked at in terms of buying teams, it just, I don't think it's been feasible for them or necessarily value for money either. So I think that there's no real obvious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sella, the moment people talk about us, or maybe RB, or.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or Alpine as, as potential outfits they could buy, but, but none of those looks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There isn't so many competitions that wa- why would you have to acquire if you're Andretti, another racing team, uh, just to go racing in Formula One, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's, that is not a, an option they think they're going to consume.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We spoke about him before Bernie, didn't we? Is he the appropriate person to lead the team on? Might have got Carlos signs in, I guess. Do you think it's a net positive he's carrying on Mero?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, that's true. I mean, the Alonzo story. So when I look at Carlos signs, what's he going to do? What are his options? Is his best option? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clear than anything else, maybe the other drives from what's currently sober.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have Mercedes, have the increasingly zeroing in, and Kimi Antonelli.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll maybe get a bit more on that this weekend. Sergio Perez saying he's, you know, within a month. Is he only one or two more good results away from being confirmed in that Red Bull seat? And then we've got Daniel Ricardo, I guess, trying to reassert himself this weekend too, which is a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A storyline, Bernie, you'd probably think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Japan was a very, always going to be a very strong Red Bull track. Maybe the others have got a bit more of a chance here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's great to have international participation. Maybe try, people have a bit of anxiety about China at the moment and its place in the world, but it's so reassuring to come here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're getting to see the big international contingent coming in, that F1 does bring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does have an impact on a place when Formula One comes to town, because there are so many people. I mean, yes, it's that, that carbon footprint, but in a positive sense, it's a, it's a human footprint and it's, it's great interaction. And for those that, that ask about why, why does F1 go to certain places? There's so many, I think, good people, uh, who go out and engage, uh, in the various countries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, yes. I'm really looking forward to the race. Really, really am. It's, uh, I think we've had a bit of a snapshot of different cars and drivers' performances around two quite different circuits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Bahrain and Jeddah, uh, but now we come to Melbourne, uh, Parkland Circuit, which, uh, it's, it's, it's very high speed, bit higher speed actually than, than Jeddah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and puts the car slightly into a different window even than that of Jetta. Uhm, so different surface as well, which produces quite a bit of grip, a bit more of a front limited circuit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, lots of different nuances to the track in Melbourne that I think could really shake up the order, particularly when it comes to stuff like, you know, downforce levels that we saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much of a difference it was from Bahrain to Jeddah and then Melbourne sits slightly higher speed like I say so requires a little bit of a difference from the downforce once again and hopefully you'll see a bit more of a shake up in the order because of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't really talk about it too much, the similar role with Mercedes. Uhm, I like to, when I'm behind the microphone or in front of the skypad, I very much treat it as completely unbiased. Actually, on a race weekend, I purposely


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way I anticipate their weekend or even comment on their weekend. In many ways I'm maybe a bit more harsh on them than with other teams because I know the work that goes into the behind the scenes with that team and I know that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The blood, sweat and tears that goes into operating such a successful F1 team. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's a small role, IC is a small role, uh, but I like to, I like to approach that, uh, with 100% dedication when I'm in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To try and get the best out of future developments, try and get the best out of the car, uh, when they're there at the circuit. So for this weekend, for example, uhm, it's not a, it's not a Skyfarm weekend for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be on Friday straight after FP2. I'll be doing what they call race support.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'll be in the simulator, uh, going through a few different options of setup, uh, for the next day's FP3 session.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So while they're sleeping over there, we'll be working through our morning, early morning, uh, after FP2 and all the way through their night to then deliver them at the track some different options that I've kind of given thumbs up, the virtual thumbs up to. And then they can take, if they want to, they can take the, uh, based on what they've learned from the circuit,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can then take the set up item or option that we feel in the simulator team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That had worked better than what they've been running at the track and sometimes it's actually the two different cars will run different setups and I'll try both of their setups, which is fascinating. It's very subtle as you can imagine and it takes a bit of a, it takes a lot of, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It takes a lot of brain power and feeling to actually feel the differences of their setup sometimes in the sim, because you haven't got as many cues as you do in real life, so you're trying to fill in the missing pieces. But I've been doing it a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since 2010 I've been with the team in all their different guises since they first got a simulator and I've seen all the different iterations of Sims through those years, uh, that have gone by. So I know how the, I know how it works, I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know what I'm looking for when I'm doing, uhm, the, the race support stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's the race support, and then you've got more of the generalized testing, uh, items, say, future updates that may never see the light of day in real life, but we can test them in the sim, and that's, that's a really fascinating part of, of the, uh, of the whole


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole virtual world is the fact that you can do testing without actually being at the track and test wacky ideas that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, just a concept that, like I say, will never come to fruition, but maybe it will. Maybe it gives you a direction and where to take the car and go, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well it's funny whenever the race drivers come in and it's not unique to Lewis, although he is obviously very competitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as a driver and as a person, um, so whenever the race drivers generally get into the simulator, it's, uh, it's quite funny because it's, it's all about the lap times. Uh, you know, they just want to, they don't want to drive quick. They want to focus on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their own performance and rightly so, you know, they, they, they come in to gain knowledge for their own, for their own, uh, performance and you're always trying to make it more and more realistic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they're, they're working with say the time modeling group or the, or the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] vehicle dynamics group and they're trying to say look in the real car it fell like this the way the wind affects the car and reality feels like this and if we do this or that then I'm sure we'll get closer to reality and therefore other things that we


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Filtering in the future, if we've got Ant or any of the other test drivers in the sim trying this stuff, we know as race drivers that they're testing things that are closer to the mark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And therefore should have a better crossover in the future. But they're competitive beasts and they want to beat each other and they want to beat everybody else. So when they step into the sim, it's so hard for them to put that aside and, and in a very selfless way,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To just deliver everything for the team. I hope I'm trying to paint, I hope I'm painting the picture well here and that there are two very different camps when it comes to the way you use a simulator. When I go there, it's 100% for the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I, I, I put my ego outside when I get into the, into the civil room. I leave that at the front door and I'm there for the team. I'll stay late if I have to for them. I only live down the road, so that's a real benefit for me and for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and if I feel like something will really benefit the two drivers at the track, or, or the team,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I used to do in my old test driver days, uhm, I've just, I've just slotted straight back into that role and I find that easy really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's a really interesting question, really interesting topic right now. Uh, so I did a lot of the pre-event work for Saudi Arabia and, and Melbourne actually, using different, using different wing levels. Um, and yeah, without giving too much away, like I said before at the start, Jeddah,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Bahrain two very different tracks. So when you start the season, you have to look at your, your options of, of wing levels and also your budget because it's in the cost cap. So you have to limit the amount of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wings that you can physically make because that's the more you have the more money you've spent. So you try to spread it thinly over the year. You want to look at all the different circuits and say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We might, if we can get away with only building two wings...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And within those two wings we can run different gurney flaps to create a different parameter within that family of wing group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That can probably see us through the whole year and then we can spend money elsewhere, like the floor, for example. Uhm, that's what the teams are trying to do today. So.

[Assistant] You go from Bahrain where you know it's a high downforce wing, and that wing you'll see come up later in the year when we go to slower speed circuits, Bahrain, heavy braking zones, very tight corners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could run the, the Bahrain Wing. Uh, you could run that in its lowest downforce form.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And see how we go. But you'll probably have a really draggy car, and we saw a few of those cars out there, uh, in Jetta, didn't we? The McLaren, for example, was quite slow in a straight line, blisteringly fast through the highest speed section of the track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it just depends where you've, where you've targeted your, that tipping point to be before you've even started the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a really good question and every driver is, every driver has their car and their generation where they felt absolutely at one. I certainly did as a driver. I can think back to cars I've driven, categories I've driven where I've gone, yeaah, that car, that era.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was my car. That's when I was, it just, it just fitted the way I wanted to drive. And yeah, definitely over, over the course of a long career, say like Lewis's ad or Fernando.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they will, they will look back on cars they've driven and say, yeah, I, I definitely, I felt more at home in that car, not quite as at home in that car. I think it just, I mean, those, those drivers are incredibly adaptable and to the untrained eye, you would never really see, you'd never really notice that, the differences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there are definite nuances to it, and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen many drivers struggle in single seaters and then perform really well in touring cars or sports cars and vice versa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On top of that, what complicates it further is that if you haven't got a very competitive car, uh, it can also do a bit of damage sometimes to the psyche of a driver and without even knowing it can put you, put you into a position where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not getting the best out of yourself as an athlete, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it depends on the teammates that you have as well. So anyone going up again to Max Verstappen, of course, uh, may not get the best out of themselves because they feel too under pressure. Maybe it will spur some other people on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To reach new heights they've never been able to achieve before as a driver by having a teammate like him. So yeaah, it's a really good question. Unfortunately I don't have a concrete answer for it but it's definitely worth thinking about and it's a really interesting, uh, it's a really interesting, like, psychological


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Impact that it has for a driver, depending on how the car's performing, how it feels to drive and who you're up against. Whether you're at the front of the grid or the back of the grid, who you're up against, who's your direct competition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, there are too many permutations to it already to have a definite answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so we've really seen Alpine fall from being at the sharp end of the midfield pack, just teetering on the edge, weren't they, to breaking through to be a consistent thorn in the side of the likes of Ferrari and Mercedes or McLaren.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To now very much at the back of the grid, so it just goes to show if you tread water for too long or if you've changed your concept like they have and the best way to look at it is a bit like if you're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're building a skyscraper, and you're fighting another team of architects and engineers building a skyscraper, and you start with a set of foundations that you think are gonna be good enough, and you look over your shoulder and you see a very different set of foundations going on over there. Anyway, regardless, you start building up, and you build as high as you can go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you get to the point where things become a little bit rickety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you realise that your competition's still going strong and they're still doing the things not moving an inch? What do you do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You carry on, you re-engineer it and carry on. If we just do a bit more scaffolding or support structures, we can get a bit higher but, mmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they might get right up there and we're still kind of mid-way up, so, right, let's cut our losses, knock the whole thing down, redo the foundations, that's where we're at. And I think that's what's going on now with the cost gap, you've got to, and these complex cars, like I say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's almost a case like Alpine have just, they've just broken up the foundations, they've gone, you know what? We're off to a dead end here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Redo everything from the start, build from the ground up, and of course, other people have carried on putting a bit more performance on their car over the winter, and sure enough, you turn up, and you're lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it might not last that long. You know, if you've got a good starting base that you believe is better than where you were...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then in time, of course, you'll start to surge forwards and see massive gains every time you get more wind tunnel time or another update comes to the car. You'll start to see much bigger gains, hopefully for their sake than...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] than where they would have been if they just carried on persevering with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps a bit of a more of a flawed concept from the start. That's my simple take on it anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Audie Berman's performance was remarkable. It really was.
