[Assistant] That shit kinda went through the roof while I was locked up. That's how I came home to a nice little bag and was doing my thing like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they took my coat. They took this for evidence. I need you to bring me a sweatsuit to the precinct. She did. 15 minutes later. You know what I'm saying? So and from then on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet they've witnessed all kinds of interesting on-set behavior, so here's what, it's time for Never Have I Ever Hollywood Edition. I'm gonna toss out some blind items. If you or someone you have worked with has done that thing, tell me by sipping your cocktail. Okay. Okay, Never Have I Ever, uh, hooked up in my trailer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Uhm, never have I ever caught an actress hiding her lines in her hand or on her hand. Okay? Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never have I ever caught a singer horribly lip-syncing at an award show.

[Assistant] WARNING! This video became more technical than I expected, for which I'm sorry. It might help for you to close your eyes and just to listen to my sweet, sweet voice the first time you watch this. The video footage and accompanying text will help to elaborate on what I say should you want more information about something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In short, this video is about why making a level and island editor helps me just as much as it helps you, and why a replay feature also helps me to test for randomness in the game. I get a bit carried away at times, so yea, it can get confusing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have been warned. Destruction Darius 2's gameplay remains unchanged since last time, but there's now both a level and island editor, working together so that you can easily make a campaign within minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And some other really cool stuff, which I'll be covering. Vroom Segway advised that I focussed on making the game, rather than paying fan service, presumably by making level and island editors for players to use. But here's the thing- these features will help ME more than they'll help you!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They let the whole game be played on a single frame, making it easy for me to update and to change things. And it makes it easier for me to make and store levels without complications. And it's great fan service. Really though, it's not just made my life easy. It's hacked! All the problems that I typically face later on in development are solved with this feature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stringing levels together and updating them all with new features has been pretty much automated. I can't stress this enough. Whereas before I'd be struggling to keep everything together, I'll now cruise through game development on autopilot. The challenge of complexity will be replaced with boredom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just in case you were wondering, I was worried about making an island editor, thinking it would be hard work. I instead made it by cloning the level editor and by changing just a few things, like where the files were saved to, removing the fire buttons and by altering how the player moves about. Done. I made it in a single, hour-long train journey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's amazing how little time something takes to make when you eventually stop avoiding it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always have more than one reason for doing something. It's simple enough advice. You don't want to do something only for the reason for doing so to no longer matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having several reasons makes it more than worthwhile and should motivate you as you're struggling to achieve it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which moved me onto the other big addition. I've got a replay feature. Once you've finished a level you can choose to watch your attempt. One's also saved every time you beat a highscore for a stage. It might seem like a cool but pointless feature that's distracting me from the core game, but no. It also helps me to investigate randomness. And I've discovered some fascinating things from it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With games like Destruction's Ares in particular, the game is about trying different things until you find something that works. Once you do, you don't want random events to still kill you sometimes but not others, through no fault of your own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being able to replay the exact same playthrough again has helped me to see just how much of a problem this will be for the game. And it's a mixed bag. In theory, there's no such thing as chance. A computer system, if given the same inputs every time, should deliver the same outcome. A splinter hitting a wall should bounce off the same way every time. But for some reason,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It didn't. At first I blamed the built-in bouncy ball prefab that I'm sure that everybody watching will also want to blame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I replaced it with proper physics, with precise collision and infinite directions. But no, this also led to variances. And when I say this, it's only because I was comparing the SAME replay several times. In normal play you probably wouldn't ever notice these things. I can only assume that the changes came from tiny frame timings or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This would alter the exact time and direction splinters would bounce off a wall, which would then be amplified with every collision after that. There was some real Butterfly Effect style shit going down that ultimately ended in my character sometimes dying whilst otherwise being fine, even in the same replay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was super deep and philosophical stuff that made me ponder my very existence. But not really something I want to be dealing with in a game about blowing stuff up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sneer all you want. Its basic 32 directions and positional shortcomings actually has the potential to keep things more consistent every time. These are the reasons that I used it for controlling bomb throwing in the first game, which nobody had any problems with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first, splinters would bounce off walls differently every time with this option, even with randomness set to 0 and security set to 100. Thanks to my replay feature I narrowed the problem down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most splinters were going the same way every time. The problems were splinters hitting a wall at 90 degrees head-on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These would have a 50-50 chance of going slightly one way or the other. Why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You remember those old breakout games where you smash bricks at the top of the screen using a bouncing ball? Those used to be all the rage. Everybody would, at some point or another, make a clone of these. But there was one horrible problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a chance that a ball could get stuck in an infinite bounce loop that you'd be powerless to stop. So the makers of Fusion 2.5 added a security feature to stop this from happening by making a ball always bounce back in a different direction from the one it came.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hence why my head-on collisions weren't causing problems. And that's why, to make bouncing balls better, I turned the security down to 0. Problem solved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or not. There are still changes between identical runs and I can't justify the amount of time and effort it would take to eliminate this completely. I don't even think I could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I have worked to minimise variances. I can use the position of a crate to determine which direction the spinners are thrown to make it the same every time. I can do my best to ensure that either everything happens in one frame, or in one event per frame to avoid confusion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Provided that you take precautions and hide in a gap that's just 1 crate's width wide, you're safe from splinters. Boulders flying through the air can be dodged by tracking their shadows. Yes, it would be nice to keep the debris the same every time, but I can't help but think that people who say that it ruins the game are blowing it completely out of proportion. Or perhaps this is me justifying a limitation with my own game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But replays still need to show the same stuff every time, and getting a replay feature into the game was surprisingly easy. 100 times a second, it records where your character is, where your crosshair is and whether you're throwing a mine or not. That's 5 values in case you're counting, which are recorded to different rows of an array file for every frame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This array gets 100 rows longer every second. In a replay, it's the same as playing the game, only it disables your controls and instead loads the positions of your character and crosshair 100 times a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it works, were it not for the pesky variances with things like splinter bounces and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as well as these basic values, it also records the position of every splinter that bounces and other things that I had trouble keeping the same every time. In the replay, splinters hitting walls are deleted instead of bounced and are hopefully immediately replaced with a newly made splinter with the correct angle and speed. And amazingly, this works as well! But just to be sure, I also recorded the player's health every frame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This means that if the replay does mess up, it would be possible for a player to be hit by a splinter and for him not to take damage because he didn't in the original playthrough. And there lies the limitation of my replay system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know what? I can live with that. The feature is sound and adds a lot to the game. It's not perfect but I don't think you would have noticed the problems unless I was foolish enough to reveal it in a video like this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A replay file was about 100 kilobytes for a minute of footage, but that's just for the basic movement. It can reach several megabytes in size, particularly big, long and messy levels. When I first made a level editor, I knew that it would change the way that I made games forever. But now I feel that the replay system is similar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not just a cool feature or a test for randomness. It also helps me to find and to fix bugs. Whenever I find a problem, I update the game's engine, watch the replay and if I've managed it, bug no longer exists. Simple. It's utter hacks and clears the way for me to construct even more advanced games than ever before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And interestingly, the information I store in these replay files likely has many similarities with the information that's sent to and from your computer in multiplayer games when keeping you in sync with the server. It's cool how interlinked everything is in the world of game design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've really enjoyed working on Destruction Darius 2 so far and have invested quite a bit of time on it this month. For now it's all about building the foundations so that when it all comes together it's a solid and enjoyable experience with nothing to get in the way of all that destruction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talked to for a long time, posting me about, you know, whatever that situation was and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I thought it was dope, man. I was like, you know, that's what, you know, competitive rap and I've always wanted to be involved in that. You know, I'd seen a bunch of people make diss tracks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I thought it'd be dope, you know, just to challenge, you know, I'm an upcoming rapper, you know, so, I love, I still challenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, initially, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause I think, you know, I got a crazy fan base, you know what I mean? So they get wild. So as soon as I said I was doing it, they probably, they went and told them, you know, that type of stuff, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like he wasn't in the mood, but he's like, basically if you say the wrong thing, then you know it'll end in more than...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, diss tracks. And I was like, okay, well, mine's not even personal like that. I don't really mention anything out of the, I thought out of the hand. So I was like, we cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I asked him, I actually, I generally asked him in the DM, I was like, if you really don't want me to post it, like let me know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not the type of person I am. I don't waste time to hate people. I don't waste time to think about that. There's so many more other things in the world that are more serious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I felt like maybe because he thought since I was from Canada that maybe I knew some like undercover. But I was just like nah, it's not like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, so I perform at the show and then I just remember like talking to like Daisoho and all of a sudden just like BOOM I get hit and I'm just like shit what the fuck is going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm starting getting hit, I'm like, damn, I'm on fire. So I'm like looking, I just see a bunch of like big ass niggas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I start backing up and now I'm like swinging, like pushing, and then I get up and I get out. Like I was, God's grace I got out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I sprint, and then motherfuckers chase me, and then people know the rest of the story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I was like, in my head I was like, there's no way I'm about to show up to this show with like my roommate and his girlfriend and I'm about to get, you know, I'm about to get, my brother's trying to kill me, so he'll beat me up, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, I go, boom, I turn the warner, whoop, whoop, and then skrrt! Thing pulls up. Now I'm running, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude's run after me, boom, boom, boom. I'm on the floor at one point, I'm like, I'm like, oh shit. I'm on the floor and I'm like, yo, this is not that serious. I calm down like crazy. And then like everyone else calm down. Cause like I calm down so much that I felt like they calm down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like everyone calmed down, like super calmed down after I was just like that. Cause I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a fighter. Like, you know, I mean, I defended myself inside the club and got out, but I'm not here to like, I'm not gonna...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, as this many dudes, as one person, you know what I mean? So I'm there on the floor, and it's like dog over a diss track, and then they're like, they sort of calm down too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then boom, boom, some other stuff happened. Boom, they get, they leave and come back and get the video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was at this point, I was like, fuck, I was like, dog, I was like, bro, I'm trying to go home, bro. He's like, Dax, come here. I'm like, dog, bro, I'm hungry, dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Social media make me make dumb decisions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I had done getting hit in the club. I had already sprinted a half fucking marathon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm like, yo, I'm tired, I'm trying to go home, eat, and Tinder swipe, G. You know what I mean? So I'm there, I'm just like, man, shit. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world wants me to be a, be a, be a big dude and be like, nah, fuck you. But I'll be like, you know what, I gotta go home to my family and shit. I'm like, alright bro, my bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Social media is convincing too many people to act tough when they don't need to and the same people that are telling you to act tough are the same people who will be saying R.I.P.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I always tell people, man, never get confused by social media. So I just did what I had to do, guided the situation, and we cool now. I have no grudges. I hope he doesn't. Man, it's all love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard to speak on for me because I'm just such like, I don't know, I'm a non-holding grudge type dude. So literally as soon as that car pulled off and it was done, I was done with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know, so I choose not to be that person. I choose not to succumb to any social pressure. I choose to, you know, do the right thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, and like, I was just telling Brittany this, I was like, you know what, I watch a lot of like, older men. You know what I mean? Like even now I watch Diddy, I watch Jay-Z, I watch all these guys, and they're all about bringing peace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, bringing the community together. And I've always told myself I'm not gonna wait until I'm 40 to calm down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you know, like I have no, no ill harm to anybody. What happened happened. It's a good learning lesson for a lot of upcoming rappers, I think. I feel like that is a revolutionary thing to happen to hip hop. What happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because anyone who has half a brain and saw the video obviously knows that wasn't the whole situation. My chains are gone, I'm sitting there breathing, like there's obviously more to it. So I, you know, the 2% of people who are telling me that I'm a bitch probably have never even been in a fight before. Probably have never even thrown a punch. And probably would have shit themselves in that situation. So I just, you know, I don't pay attention to all the fluff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, obviously I gotta, you know, I can't just move like that anymore. You know what I mean? Show up to a show with my roommate and his girlfriend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I thought about this too. I was like, you know what, if I probably had a bunch of dudes on me, that situation could have ended a lot worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now other people are getting hurt and you don't know if people have weapons, you don't know what happens. So I'm like, you know what? God really, I feel like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm really embracing being an advocate for being that nigga who is like, okay, I said sorry, but I'm still that nigga though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, make dope ass music, one of the best rappers out lyrically, and I feel like music making wise anyway, so I still feel like you can be that but you don't gotta be like what social media wants you to be and I refuse to let, you know, them do that to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only reason that situation is looked at differently is because now social media is here and it's put on camera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I always tell myself like, I'm not gonna act different just because a camera's on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, you know, some people might be like, oh, this or that, but at the end of the day, my mom calls me cause she heard about the situation through the grapevine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When my car got like burnt down, she's like, Oh, it was supposed to happen. Let's get you a new car. So it's like coming from a lady like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm just always just like put things in perspective, you know what I mean? Like that situation didn't need to go any further than it did. That's why honestly, I still fuck with Tory. And I love that nigga's music. We went back to the club and his music was playing. I still bop my head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forget what song it was, I think it was that new one with the tea paint or some shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, you know, I wouldn't even do it. To me it's just not that serious. You know, like, it just, to me, it's just, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a great story. It's a comical little story that I'll be telling my kids when I'm 80. Not my kids, probably my grandkids, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really do believe whatever you say in your songs and because like we as artists listen to our songs so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like repetition is such a powerful thing and like speaking your mind to existence. Like, if I listen to a song that I just make a hundred times and I'm always singing those lyrics, there's more likely that shit's gonna happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With their own music and that's why it's so dangerous. That's why I be telling people every single thing I've ever said in my songs about manifesting and things I'm gonna do comes true. Because I listen to it so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's now in my mind for it to like, that's why people are like, yo, why this nigga always talking about how he's a fucking janitor and he came up from that shit? I said, because I know the power of me listening to that song over and over again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whatever I say in that song is going to happen. So I put, I'll, I keep, I'ma use the janitor shit for the next 50 to 100 songs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's like, you gotta keep speaking it and once you start forgetting that shit and you start changing your music, your life changes with your music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I always like to make sure I give those little tidbits that this is how Dax thinks and this is how Dax has created this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, inconceivable motherfuckers on no jumper. God damn it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, no, not, not too much has changed, man. A lot of great things have been happening to me music wise. I've really taken a great, uhm, step into like this mainstream, you know, music. And it's a slow process, but it's a, it's a, it's a great process. And what I've really learned the most is just like this whole social media thing, you know, is really a crazy, uhm, just world. And it's hard for artists because they're pushing artists to be this way so much. And it's like, you don't have to be, but it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All these, all these people that are pushing you to be this way are the same ones who are gonna be telling you stupid for being that way when shit fucks up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's like fucking so many people up, you know? So it's just like, dealing with that has been such a cool experience. Cause I've always been on the outside like, yo, this is what's happened to all these niggas. Now I'm that nigga it's trying to happen to. And it's like, it's, I feel like that's like the, that's what people call selling your soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like these pressures that they're putting on you, and they don't even know they're the ones doing it. Right. And they're telling you not to sell your soul, but they're putting these pressures on you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, and that's been such an interesting process for me, man, just trying to stay the way I am, so, but it's been enjoyable though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna let you, I'm not gonna let you people behind a little screen convince me to do some dumb shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, for sure. Those are the rules. It's crazy, I've had so many people reach out to me, so many mothers, so many fathers being like, yo, what you did in that situation, like, could you come speak to our school and talk to these, like, these youth kids about, like, how to act in situations like that, cause they're placed in them every day. Cause I used to do motivational speaking, like back in Wichita, Kansas. And the first thing I'd always ask, like, these little niggas when I'd go to, like, these Wichita schools, is be like, who are you flexing for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bunch of broke motherfuckers. Yeah, who is it you're flexing for? Who is it that you're standing up and showing that you a man for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really for these motherfuckers who don't even like, pay my bills or care for me anyways. Probably won't even be at the funeral.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's like, I love, I love, I love to be put in the situation that with this happening, being able to show people like, damn, this is what I would do and I did it. So, I'm happy with this situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, I tell you, I wanna say one thing, I'm really happy to be here, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really, I really love coming here, it's my second time. My goal is to come here at least throughout my career, 10 to 15 times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yea man, I, what else is going on with Dax, man? Talk to the people. What's going on with Dax? Dax, Dax is really just, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enjoying, I tell, man, being an upcoming music artist is the most interesting job in the world. I get the most, I get the most interesting and obscene text messages, calls, DMs, videos sent to me where I'm just like, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's the most interesting job and to watch how, cause it's not me changing, it's the people around me changing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's so like interesting, you know, it's like, wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They think I'm changing in the terms of that like, oh man, you don't talk to me like you used to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean I try to always look at myself from like a third person party, like you know a guy sitting on the bleachers, what would you think of that? And I think there has been moments where I've slipped up, because I'm human, you know what I mean? There's definitely been some, some bad moments, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I've recovered because I'm human, you know what I mean? So, but I think like, a lot of the times I feel like the people around me are changing. And it's sort of like hurting, you know, I've had a lot of people I don't deal with anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit, yeah man, it's crazy, it's a crazy game and it's like, I never thought I was gonna be a rapper, which is why it's so interesting to just like, even have these thoughts now, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, this is fine, you know what I mean? It's always good for me, cause like, it just is me, so it's like, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not gonna take it, and my mom did it, she said, let's pray for it, let's pray for it. So I'm happy, if she's happy, I'm happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they, like, I'm not gonna say, like, even, even like the black community does it to our own black men too, but like they want us to just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Act a certain way, you know, never back down type bullshit when it's like, nah, man, sometimes you just gotta chill and make the right decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all it is, man. It's not, it's not, it's not a knock on your, it's not a knock on your character. Doesn't mean you lesser of a man. And people can't like, people gotta know, this is the type of nigga Dax is. I made a song called She Cheated Again where I opened up about this shit I'm doing. I have no problem with like, breathing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think, I think the response, the majority of the response sort of agrees with that. You know, you see a lot of people reaching out and stuff, you know, I've had some crazy people just reaching out that I was like, wow, I never thought I'd even talk to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was young, that's what I used to think. Then I got around real winners. Yeah, or they had an eye on it. They knew exactly. It wouldn't look at the whole season, but they knew in blocks where they needed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, let me ask you this question. Yeah, you could be out of the race by June. If you ain't on your business. That's true, but not in this division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm sure, but I don't know that they've gone ahead and done that. I'm sure it ties into the city budget, right? Yes. So the problem is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the city operates and provides services to so many different things in this, in this. Sure. In Cleveland, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of it is being pushed by the city. It's because there's a hole from something that probably came out of Columbus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'm in the camp of, uh, making sure I don't jump out on the train before I get run over, right? So I did a 10 and 7. I'm like bull, right? And so I had to pull myself back because I like, wait, hold on, wait a minute. Wait, you wanted like 11 and 6? Well, you know, you want to lean towards being favorable because I love this team, right? And I like, wait, hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I brought it back and then I went back and analyzed it and I looked at it and I said okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I jumped off the train where they were going to sweep some teams, right? And I felt like some of the teams that they played, they were going to at best split it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, shock a few and get shocked a few. Yeah, that brought me back to 10 and 7. I just thought that 10 and 7, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I could not be in disagreement with Bull. It could be a 9 and 8. It could be an 8 and 9. It could be an 8 and 9. It could be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It all depends upon, I'm gonna tell you what it all depends upon. Deshaun Watson better come out the gate roller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had them four, uh, three in one going to the bye week, right? And then gonna take some L's after that. Yeah, that's a lousy bye week. But I know it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said so, but if you get out three and one, because a lot of this thing, I feel it with the Browns is their own personal psyche, right? You take a body blow first and the Browns collapse. Oh, this is true. This is what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And so if you get out to a great start, not only does it build well for the rest of the team, but you have, remember we have to build Deshaun Watson back up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gotta have some early success here, because if that thing goes sideways in the first four,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Jags. Yeaah. So in this game here, I try to be... Oh, the Patriots was two years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buccaneers. Buccaneers, right. They have to try to be conservative here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Don't get, don't get out ahead of your skis. Conservative at 10 and 7. Yeaah. Don't get over your skis here, right? Because I've seen things, if they ever jumped off, I believe that, if you ever, momentum,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Confidence, right? You see it. You see it from teams. When they have it, they steamrolling, right? That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta jump, you gotta jump on it early, right? Yeah. And if you jump on it early, then guess what it does? No, it says a signal to your own team. The other team start to believe like, whoa, whoa, whoa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what the Browns are working against. I get what you're saying, right? But in the real world, if you're on a legitimate crew, right, you can battle yourself out of it. But the Browns are always battling this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they lose one that they're supposed to win, you know, the world turns toward


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same ol' Brown. Yea, but according to Vegas, they're not supposed to win the opener. They're an underdog. Yea, but I'm just saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what they're battling. The notion that they're the same old Browns and bad things are always going to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I can see Burrow having a phenomenal game. 35 points on the board. But I can see Watson having a great game and setting it off, right? If Watson is going to jump off for the season, it has to be on day one. I agree. He's got to hit the ground running. You can't come in here, third week, tell them I'm about to get it going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's Kansas City and Cincinnati. You put 235 million dollars into somebody, right? And so this has got to, we got weeks here, right? It's the same. It's like James Harden in Philadelphia. They keep looking for you. We're looking for you. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got, I've got it as a loser. I have that as an L2. Let me tell you why I said loser. Odell Becker will be, it's going to be a loser today. Please, I don't want him to be a loser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I gotta win. I gotta win. I don't think the Colts are going to have enough of the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I do too. You gotta, you gotta L? Yeah, I do too. I gotta, I gotta win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same thing, finishing nine and seven. I got to win another win versus Texas and I got two losses against the Jets and the Bengals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask a question to you all. Who's got the thirstiest fan base in the NFL? Who's the thirstiest?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wouldn't say we're one of the thirstiest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My question to you really is, they are, they're bigger, they're stronger. They're better conditioned for sure. They've got the latest and greatest, uh, uh, technological advances, right? They help them get better food regimen. I mean, when I was still playing, people were going to McDonald's for the game, right? They still were doing that, right? They're still doing that. My question to you, are they better?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You tell it in the 80s. I mean, I had teammates who made 40,000. Oh, yep. Yeah, it didn't have a car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know because this is a sports are copycat leagues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what organizations started. It's just like the planes, right? The private planes. In my first three years, we were flying commercial. I was flying out of here, here in United all the time. Guys, this is not news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that is because you basically shut it down. You shouldn't play. The girls didn't play baseball. And you know, in sports, if you shut it down for a month, it changes. Now you shut it down for years and then it came back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you this, Scott. J.O. understand it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you, your, your understanding of where you are in the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You learn to appreciate it more. You're like, I'm here for, I'm going to enjoy this. Because the first early, when you first come in playing pro ball,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watch, I watch, I watch hockey. So the NBA has been experimenting in the G League. They're about to change the overtime scenario here in the NBA. To what? So what it goes down to instead of playing a five minute overtime and figuring out who wins and forced another overtime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things are taught at early age, right? Yeah. And a lot of players when they get to the big league there, they're really reflection of what they were taught coming up. Yeah, those people are removed and replaced with younger people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the people, the people, there's nobody down there that can teach it, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, I appreciate you. Thank you. Thank you, Jay. I'll tell you what, it's been a great run and obviously I'll be back. Uhm, but I just tell you this, it has been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think what this, this city has needed, a show that really gave


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First takes was not, were not encumbered by any.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Philosophy here, right? You get the real deal here, right? When you go to other, we all know you get to other networks and other stations and other, other things. Sometimes you're kind of pigeonholed into what you can do here. We're beholden to no one. They give you the full reign here, right? And so when you get people's thoughts here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I've appreciated about each and every one of you. You're getting people's real thoughts, even when we have disagreed, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is your real thought coming at you, right? That's right. So and then the thing about it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has allowed the show to grow. It has allowed people that follow us on the show to express their own opinions and some are with you. Some are not with you and some will stay out with you on Twitter afterwards making sure they get their point across to you. Right, but it's good. It's all it's all wholesome and we all want the same thing. Well, you're a go-to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Gee, I appreciate, I appreciate you, but I appreciate that. I would say this, I have watched this group counsel the young fellas, Gee, Tyvis, on many things about, in this profession, what to do. And I'm in alignment with Scott Bill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm in a position now, I can't go back 30, 40 years ago and do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm now in a position where I enjoy just being in this position watching the others come through. That's fun. And then I give you my perspective and then you do it at what you will. You know, I know Tyvers was in some things the other day. I called Tyvers offline and said, let me tell you something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had some old school guys that gave me some leadership, but nobody had ever done the things that I had done. Right, right. And so now what you do, you don't hold on to that. Even in this profession that we're in now, you pass it on like here you go. That's the obligation. That's your obligation. Absolutely. Right. And that's the obligation of this show because I think the one thing that sets well with people out here


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They come to us because they're going to get a real deal honest take on it. Right. And you know, you're going to stand behind it. You're not going to change the story when you get to the grocery store. Exactly. I was just saying with the crew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of them were probably just here. Here's a couple were bad here real quick. Here's a note to the Brown. You want some young talent that know how to get behind the camera and social media to get your game going? No, no, go to the University of Maryland. Watch the ones they put out for Maryland women basketball the stuff they put out these kids creative. That's unbelievable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, if you Kevin's a fancy, you hate that bi-week. Is this Kool-Aid or no Kool-Aid? This is, uh, this could be the best of times or the worst of times. Is that Kool-Aid or no Kool-Aid? Now, now, here's what I'm gonna say, man. I told you I wasn't gonna get fooled, man. I was gonna play, uhm, I was gonna play it cool, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He secured his girl ain't going nowhere. He ready to go. He solidified them six games is out of here. My man is drinking the Kool-Aid. He got the 11 win Kool-Aid ready to go. It's red. It ain't pink. It ain't color. It is red. It's not fruit punch. And I'm gonna tell you why the 11 win Kool-Aid is going to be so potent for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because now, when he jump out there and then get the bangles week one, don't get it twisted. They play the bangles kind of well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially during the early part of the season, they get a win right there and all of a sudden you off messing with Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now everybody get reindu, introduced to Deshaun Watson and how they throwing the ball around. They talk about, oh, this is gonna be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got, he said, Gee Bush, he called me the other day. He didn't actually call me. Just don't ask me. He called me the other day. He said, listen, I got, I heard what you said. I got that 5,000 for you. I said, okay, you got the 5,000. He said, Nick Chubb called me too. He said, look, don't act like the run game is done too. Nick Chubb said he's still giving you 14 touchdowns on the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 14. He said, we don't need another receiver. David and Joku is split out wide in the five wide package. He's going to get 12. He got 13, 13 for David and Joku. And I'm going to tell you what the Cleveland Browns. That's the Cleveland Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come out of this thing looking like a beautiful bag of chocolates because by week 17 with Aaron Rodgers and then with the Jacks. That's the coming out party. They'll start talking about home field advantage throughout and the Cleveland Browns with the red 6-0 Kuwait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I probably did. 11 and 6. 11 and 6. I tried to tell myself. So you got them winning the division. Listen, in my head, it says 8 and 9.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is something different. And Brad, it's even, it's even worth more because you're going to play Joe. See you, we ain't seen nobody play toe-to-toe with Joe Burrow. Let him come out there and throw the ball a little bit that game. Then we come back and get Lamar Jackson, right? And if you beat the Ravens going into that by all of a sudden you get, you get the San Francisco 49ers and I don't know who they quarterback going to be at the house. It can be the good best of times or the worst of times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You said the same thing last year. I know I did. When you come to the Jets game, it was a game you won, and I think every single person that saw that Jets game was like, deflated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, McNuggets, McNuggets, before you do this, right? You gotta come to me. I got something. This is a stat that I've been working on. Go ahead. Finish your read. I'm done. Oh, you're done? Okay. This is a stat. This was devastating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you know, it set me back in my seat. People was mad. There was somebody was, so I was on the radio this morning and people were saying, well, why have, why aren't the Browns getting them prime time games? Right? Why, why do the Raiders got four games, right? On prime time? Ain't that good? And I said, well, you got a guys got to understand. I got to look at it. My little football, football reference and it said, do you guys know since 1990? The Browns have four seasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll double check on that, but I think it starts next season. Guys, I think, I think the surprise of the entire schedule was the fact that the NFL has stamped the Detroit Lions. Yeaah. They gave the Dan Campbell, the fighting Dan Campbells are... They're all four, I mean it's four. Yeaah, but you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta jump off on that day. You gotta jump off on that day. You gotta jump off on that day. You gotta jump off on that day. You gotta jump off on that day. You gotta jump off on that day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're looking for you. You know, Brad, to your point, it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, at some point, I think the teams, like Bull, this is funny. He's a great example. I don't think the Bengals played a scheduled game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you feel you got that guy, you feel you got a chance to win the game, right? Depending on if he's that dude or not. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I look at that game, and even if the Browns do lose that game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really take this as a moral victory or anything, but if they lose a close game and it just happened at Borough Outlast. Oh, they lose a 38-35 slugfest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the thing that, that people still remember, and you can say he's garbage or good or whatever, when Baker Mayfield went in there for a playoff game, that man will always get a drink in Cleveland by somebody. Winning in Pittsburgh County.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta win. I gotta win. I gotta win, but that's a trap game. That's a trap game written all over. A variable gonna have them ready to play there or constant overachievers. They'll be ready to go. They'll run the ball and that game gonna be closer than what you think. I still got the Browns winning that game, but you got trapped. I think the Titans are bottoming out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's the L. Put them L's up. Shout out to, uh, Young Dirk, uh, L's anthem. They gonna lose this. You know why? Cause Action Jackson, it's the first four weeks of the season. It's September. It's hot outside. He is great early in the season. He's really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Sonic running around in loops with the, with the, with the, he getting all kind of rings and he is fast as heck during the first part of the season. And they got a different playbook too. They like, they like mixing it up. They actually throw the ball, but we'll come back to see you because I'm going to tell you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You definitely be cold sometimes too. Wait till November. So what do you got? A loser? That's a L. Yea, and I got an L too. Alright. Three and one going into the buy. Now we're into the buy week. Here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, that's the toughest game out of the four. They gonna come in here and run the ball with full backs, tight ends, receivers, the concession stand workers, and they gonna come in and play good solid defense. I got them losing that game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't take the Browns against smart coach teams. I mean, and they're going, they're going to come in and take all that little underneath stuff away. They're going to have to go up top on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Losing to the coach at that point will put you at almost a fireball offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you can't lose to the Colts because that means you pretty much have no chance to get to the play. The Colts will be one of the five worst teams in the league. I got a dub, I got a dub for that and I'm hoping for Anthony Richardson because he'll come in and pull the screens down and, uh, you know, get about, you know, 50, 60 yards on the ground, but he'll give you two picks and maybe a strip sack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if they didn't lose, if they lose that game against the Colts, there is no way, and you know what, they're going to Seattle on the west coast and winning that game. No, that's already a trap. That's already out of here. So, I got them losing at Seattle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do too. I got a win in Seattle at Seattle. I think that I have been winning. I have been winning at Seattle and it's a signature win for the Browns because I haven't since I've been living. I ain't never seen the Browns win in Seattle ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never seen them win in Seattle, ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now at this point, I actually have the Ravens and the Bengals tied for the division league at top, and then I got the Browns right now at third, but they're in the hunt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got it as a loss. I got it as a loss. But it's a win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They about to take two from the Steelers, and they should. They got a rookie quarterback that I don't even think is that good, but the Steelers play hard. Mike Tomlin don't have losing seasons, but at the end of the day, man, if you got Deshaun Wise, this is a game you cannot lose, because like I said, you're in third right now. So I got him winning, which brings me to what? Seven and four? What is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta win, I don't believe in the Rams going forward. This is a trap game, they're gonna lose out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and in this game, I believe that the, the Browns gonna be a all game, but they don't put them away. And I think McVeigh comes back and put, and hit him. So that's a definite L.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta win. They take an L to the Jaguars. We start to actually, by that time, we start to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jacksonville is right neck and neck with the Browns for this playoff spot. And I think you start to see Trevor Lawrence really start to get that respect level because now he done did it two years in a row. I think this, and by the way, this is a clear L. This is one we gonna come back and be mad as hell being like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think he did end of the 90s. I think it was all late 80s. I thought y'all was talking about Charles and Charles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no. They got the chess at home. I gotta win, win, loss. Uh, the only loss they got is at the bangles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had him, I had him at, uh, I had him at, I think either 8, 9 or 98, 98. No, everyone had him. You were the one. We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna go back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I'ma tell you what though, Big Nuggets. I ain't never seen nothing like this. I have, but if they start off, if you go 0-3 in the division,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never seen a team by week five be out of here like that in my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, everybody could be gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three division foes in the first four weeks is crazy. That's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, and then you got, and then you got San Francisco, San Francisco coming after Dubai. That's, that's tough. Yeah, it's rough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, you know, I haven't seen since high school somebody that is a great player that pitches, you know, usually it's the shortstop, the center fielder. He pitches all the innings and his home runs. But I mean, was there anybody back in your day that could have potentially done that? Um, but they just, it just wasn't a thing that they were doing back then. Or is this just an anomaly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hold on, Mikey, bring me that graphic back. Bring me that graphic back. I want to just see Jordan on the screen real quick. Just put it on the screen. There you go. No, you didn't have to do it. Look, see, if you say it the same way, Brad, you get it, you get it to come up. Listen, stop, stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, come on back over here. Yeah, bring that back this way. Like, I can't, he don't like the screens. He don't like the screens being empty when he talking. It don't have the same hit. It don't hit, it don't hit the same. Nah, I need, I need my graphics. Come on. Pull that back up Mikey. Come on back up here Mikey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I call him the OG man because man, it's like when I got on the set, I really felt like I had like a, like a older uncle that was up here, right? You know what I'm saying? Like somebody that could teach you the ropes to give you that, that word. And I always look forward to coming in and to hang out and talk to what Brad because.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only, like, professionally in doing a job, it's like, you know what I'm saying? I look up more, I look up to him more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Outside of the business, then even inside of the business about how to be a black man and handle your business about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How to look people in the eye, tell them straight things, and stand on what you're supposed to stand on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, like, I always call him the OG because he really showing, putting it down out there, how you be a family dude, how you take care of your family and handle business. So, I always got love for Brad and you know, he one of the dudes that I pull up and ask anytime, like, hey, what should I do with this? How should I do with that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually, actually I do have something. So I actually wrote a couple things down so I didn't, didn't fail to forget and mention things that I wanted to get into this. So what I want to do is I want to definitely apologize to the viewers and Annika Sorensen, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earlier this week, we were interviewing her, uhm, and I made a mistake in referencing, uh, the East Palestine, Ohio train, uh, disaster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a bad mental lapse on my part and I do want to take accountability for that, for misspeaking and sincerely apologize for the error. As I did say, it was an honest mistake, but I want to make sure that people understand that I am aware of the mistake and we try not to let that type of stuff happen again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always want to stand up when you do something wrong or may offend some people. So I just wanted to say I apologize to Anika and East Palestine as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or rather gang, so now we've uploaded our application.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, let me first go to Android Studio, then go to Configure, then AVD Manager, then I'm going to launch this device right here, the Pixel 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so I've already previously deleted the icon that we had for Food Ninja because remember in one of the earlier videos we added it to the home screen so that's gone now and I'm going to open up Chrome


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And navigate to this address up here, which is food-ninja. And it's already there, hyphen pwa.firebaseapp.com. So I'll go there and this looks like it's working. We get this banner at the bottom, add food ninja to home screen. So we'll do that. We'll add it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we should get another notification here, add automatically, yep. Okay, so now I'll close this one down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I'll open it up on the phone itself. So this is the app version now and looking good so far. Cool. So everything seems to be showing and working. I can try adding in a new one. So we'll just call this test and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blah, blah, blah. Because I can't think of any other recipes. And uhm, yep, this seems to be working. And we see that update over here in the browser as well, so that's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if we go to delete one of these, it should work as well. So let's try that. Cool, it does. And we can go to other pages as well. For example, contact us and about and this all works. Cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this is all working while we're online, but what if we try to do this while we're offline? I'm gonna close the app first of all, then I'm gonna go into flight mode so that we lose a signal, and then what I'm gonna do is open up the app again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this should still work, and it does. You see, we're getting all of these different recipes right here. Now, let's now try deleting one. Ninja Soup. And it deletes from this app, but notice over here, if I just move these things out of the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, right there, Ninja Stu, still remains. And that's because we're offline here, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's working in our app and it's deleting it from our UI, but it's not actually yet reaching over here in our database to delete that document because we're offline in our device. So it's still there. You can see there's three documents still here, but we only see two right here. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now we see it here, but again, we don't see it over here yet because we're offline. Now, let me just go to another page to see if this works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About yep, we can still see that and contact because remember before while we were online, we navigated around the site and we cashed those pages as we visited them. So even though we're offline, we can still view these pages from the cash. So this is all working very much like an app would offline. This is brilliant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, the minute we go back online, notice the data will update here and probably over here, hopefully, in the database as well, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me now turn off this thing right here, flight mode and close this and notice we updated over here. Now we have ninja breakfast instead of ninja stew and probably over here as well. If we just give this a quick refresh so we can get the new data.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should see that Ninja Stew is actually still there. Ninja Smoothie, Ninja Breakfast. Okay, so it's not Ninja Stew that's gone. It was something else. I can't remember what it was. But anyway, that has gone as well. So, this, my friends, is all working now. This is our PWA pretty much finished.

[Assistant] I think it's not only Oklahoma City, it's the lessons that we've been learning about lone wolf terrorism. It doesn't take a large organization to cause mass casualties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is actually what caused them the most concern and rightfully so. HMTD is not very common. Uh, it has to be handmade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, this is something, uh, it goes off, uh, about 14,000 feet per second. It's probably more powerful than ammonium nitrate. They could make a car bomb that if these materials were put together correctly and went off in this classroom, it kill or seriously injure every person in this classroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, in this case we have two dead, uh, two young men dead shot with an assault rifle and we recovered


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Explosive kit here that the Boston Marathon Bombers had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's nice, Marjorie. That was fun for me to watch, uh, but I'm here to talk about booster shots. Isn't that just called a chaser? Yeaah, maybe a chaser of your, away of your brain cells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about him? What's the status on the boosters? I recommend the booster shot for anyone over 65 six months after their last Pfizer shot. And what about people under 65? Do those people exist? I recommend the same thing for people 18 to 64 with underlying medical conditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, maybe you chase your brain cells away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Infections caused by... I recommend the booster shot for anyone over 65 with their last after before all of that happens. In June.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had to create this over-the-top movie trailer just to tell you about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're currently in the middle of six straight series that have been decided by sweeps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We made it. Uh, I don't know that there were many that thought we would make it a year. Uhm, just because it was, you know, we're Star Trek.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we're going to the last great frontier in media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, I think that to me the biggest surprise of the show, Bull, is the fact that, and I don't know if the numbers still bear this out, and people that study these things that tell me if I'm right or wrong, but I know in the early months, the thing that most surprised me was more than half of our viewers are from outside the state of Ohio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inundated with email from outside of our market from people that saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't tell you how comforting it is to have voices that we recognize.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even if they're not diligently listening to every word we say, it's just background noise and it's Cleveland Sports Talk. And as someone who's lived more than half of his life outside of Cleveland,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we speak the common language and I think it's really cool that whether you're in Nashville or San Diego or Australia or England,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you wanna follow the Cleveland Browns, and you don't necessarily have time to sit down and read Jason's pieces, or anything else. Make time. Make time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did, did Steve, did you think of the uhm, typist Paul isn't on this? Or did someone feed that line to you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my number two. The one in the middle has the coolest feature. Do you see the hidden CLE in his neck fold?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have hired a commercial artist as well to submit their own. And then when they come up with one, what happens?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two underprivileged mothers we did every year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Channel 3, The Guardians, and, and Colleague Giving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would love to have your help. It's an unbelievable organization. The work they do for the families, homeless children, mothers of homeless children. And Matt writes a nice chat so they can go on this incredible shopping spree. I went yesterday with the two moms. They never, they're like, I don't know what to do with all this money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've never had an opportunity. They've always said to both said, when we go to the store, we buy things that we need for survival. This allows me to buy things that we want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the 10,000 things that colleague giving does on a regular basis. And most of it we don't even, it's not publicized, Matt doesn't talk about it. Sometimes I twist his arm and say, Matt, we gotta get word out of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the story, the feature is power of inspiration and the whole idea is we want to empower others that are watching these pieces to see how good it feels to do something for other people and it's worked. It really has.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you don't have to be wealthy, you don't have to write a check. I was talking to the women from the Providence House yesterday, and I asked her, what's the number one question you're asked? And she said, people always think that when I come up to them and tell them what we're doing, that they're gonna ask, I'm gonna eventually ask them to write a check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not. This was, this is when I knew she was so committed. She said, here's what I'm asking everybody to do. And everybody can do this because it's easy and free. When you see a family in despair,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A mother that has kids sleeping in the backseat of their car. She's in a despair situation where she's been abused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they knocked down all the barriers. One of the mothers we met nine months ago was the victim of a horrible domestic attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she had four children, all homeless, didn't know where to go, found the Providence house. She's gonna graduate from nursing school very shortly, at the end of this month. That's beautiful. She is ready to embark on a career in the medicine field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her kids now are completely, you know, they've adjusted to this new life. And that's all testament to Providence House. That's one of 650 stories in Cuyahoga County alone last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, if you see somebody that could use a helping hand, tell them about Providence House and you're helping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're doing it. And Matt's been a big runway for a lot of other people to get involved. Enough about that. How's the race team? Dude, the race team's awesome. I mean, we go fast every week. Did your guy get in a fight this weekend? I saw there was a fist fight at the NASCAR race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tournament over at Firestone. So here was my idea talking to some of your folks yesterday. I can't wait to hear it. And they'll give you their honest thoughts about whether or not this would work and then maybe we take it to the guy that writes the check and maybe this can happen, maybe not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when I think of golf big events must see, I used to think the majors, I don't anymore. It's waste management in Phoenix. Why? Because they took a concept of stadium golf


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So instead of like, you walk the course, and there's still people walking the other 17 holes, but if you have one hole that's the epicenter of fun, as I like to call it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I still think it would be really cool if you picked a marquee hole, preferably a par three so you can see all the action from your seat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But make it so it's a thing, oh god, I gotta get tickets to the Champions Tour and I gotta be on the stadium green. I've gotta be there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you guys aren't huge golfers. I am. And I, I used to, like when I first saw...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that happened over 150 years or whatever. What you're trying to do here is put this event on the map and get people in Northeast Ohio to go. That's right. And I think that history has proven that the tournament itself, although it's a draw,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not going to break attendance figures records with it because it's just another stop on the tour. The Champions Tour doesn't have anything like that that I'm aware of. The PGH stop has the waste management. I have buddies that fly to Phoenix every year


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For that event, because it is an event. The golf is the backdrop, but if you look at what's happening in professional sports, not so much football, because in the NFL, football is still the game. But the NBA wisely started this about 15 or 20 years ago where they made a game feel like you were at a club. You've got a DJ, you've got pounding music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. Joe Thomas is going to be in, Joe Thomas was on the show right before you came. Okay. He was kind of your warm up act, right guys? Yeah, that's good. Yeah. But yeah, maybe you get a Hall of Famer or some football guys out or some Hall of Famers, maybe Joe even, I don't know. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get permission to do this was not easy. You gotta go through a good year and you gotta make sure that you know they don't want their product


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Well, they do a lot. They do pre-game and post-game. They do a lot over there. What are they doing that's good? Well, that's another question. I, Mikey should win. I always look at every team, organization, you know, unit that I've worked on as a body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Mike, he's the vertebrae. He's the spine. He's like without that, the whole thing can't stand up. It falls to the ground. And Mike, that's what you are. And he knows how to deal with us all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think his best features is his, and this is just what a good producer has to do. He has the ability to adapt on the fly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he builds a structure and a rundown and gives everything a time every day. Uhm, the most frustrating shows to do are the shows where something organically happened and it's really good. Better than anybody anticipated. And I did a lot of these in the early days of First Take.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had a producer on the show that produced by the clock instead of by the ear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Mike will let the show accordion, uh, you know, uh, and let it stretch out if it needs to, and that's, I think that's his best option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all have their own role and sometimes we make fun because that's what we do. Well you make fun of people that you love. That's it. You bust their balls. Anthony, when he came here, he was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what sports, I don't know what the hell is going on here. No, they're not big sports guys. Earl's a huge sports fan, but they all have their own role. They all know what they're going to do. And it's fun to watch them come in because it's just like these two big gears that come together and they just, they move


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had some people texting me last night that said he found his match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] G. Bush's point in this segment is the best one that we're all missing. What's that? G. Bush could come on here right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let me ask you a question in all honesty. This is just my, I thought, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was watching the end of the game and I also was watching the post game show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I in real time said, I'm worried about bull. I'm worried about bull because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feel like they were in the depths of despair. Yes. And then go from that to within a minute, we just won the Super Bowl. Yeah. That's what, and I thought his body's gonna revolt. Who knew that would be the high of the season?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet. It's because they're all unsung heroes. You know, they're off camera, they do their thing, they make it easy for us. I still, I love that picture of Anthony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need to give a prize to the 7 millionth viewer. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna go first, uh, because I think, um, I think this is a possibility that it happens. Albert Bell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now here's the, here's the caveat. Jason is in the process now of putting the piece together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Albert is interested in what this is like. He's already reached out to Jace. I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has an axe, and he doesn't have a filter. And that equals good television.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, our overtime... No, you can't do a second anniversary show. It's gotta be five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, get, uh, get a couple more people here. Can you go ahead and start moving this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They know you're trying. Do you have an area you don't want to live in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could you build these properties without tax


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, Jesus! This ain't my game! Well, you've played dead before, haven't you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Developer Brian Potashnik has the mayor's ear when it comes to meeting the city's need for 30,000 affordable housing units.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Donald's father's overall message to his children was, and it was a very different message to the boys than to the girls, to the boys was, compete, win, be a killer, do what you have to to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His mother told me that he was never homesick. He loved it. He loved all that stuff because it was also really competitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other kids didn't really like him all that much. He wasn't that popular because he was so competitive. He was always looking for the edge, but it was a, it was a environment that he thrived in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things that Donna learned from School of Dad and School of Roy was that almost everybody has their price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever it might not necessarily be dollars, although it often is, it might be some vulnerability that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It turned out another man entirely had done this rape and these kids were innocent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is sort of a norm, Vincent Peele. Hold on tenaciously. Hold on to this image of yourself as successful. Never let go of it. Never let the idea of failure enter your mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very Norman Vincent Beale. Just insist that you're successful. Insist that what you're doing is right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's part of this playbook. Double down, triple down, say any problems are somebody else's fault.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got hit, you may have gotten slammed against a wall, you were put in, in, in, uh, you got put artificially into fights, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stuttering is a fear problem. The person feels fear, shame, guilt, tension. He's always worried about what might happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New York was in tatters then, but there were opportunities everywhere you looked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing, nothing would stop him from tarring opponents or even doing illegal things. His pride and joy was bullying people and bribing people and making deals behind the scenes. He was a fixer, he was a connector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well first, this is no disrespect to Jerome Foward. I don't think I've seen enough of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you felt like you had to do that, but I'm not sure if I can turn it over to Jerome Ford. I don't know. I just have not seen enough of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but for me, that was a good point, right? That was a good point. So I'm a three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not turning the keys over the factory to an unknown, unproven dude. I'm just not doing it, right? If Nick Chubb get banged up, the one thing I like about Zeke Elliott,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, when you're on the blitz, he gonna pick you up. Yes, he is. He gonna do all the dirty things that need to be done because experience has taught him over time what to do. Sometimes you just need a pro to be a pro and I don't know why in this town they devalue experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They devalued all and all in all the sports. They devalued experience, right experience. You may not be the stud you were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there comes a time, especially when you're in a playoff push. Right, right. That experience comes to the forefront and the dudes that get left out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't have it. I watched, I watched the Celtics, uh, uh, in Philadelphia in overtime, right? Right. I watched the Celtics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Self-destruct, because dudes did not know what to do, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I feel like this. You put all your money behind Watson, right? So I'm up for giving you the best weapons possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for me, it's not about the money, right? You've already made the investment in Watson, right? So your thing is a short window to make sure you have a full complement of people. I don't have time or the timeline we're on to really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this case, as I'm bringing four along, what he pans out to be, I don't know yet, but I'm going in the hole with two that I can count on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even if, even if Nick Chubb does not get hurt, right? The secondary person. Well, you can speak to Zeke. I mean around the goal line. That's a luxury to ask how they can punch it in. Now. We've had trouble around the goal line punching it in, right? No, the Browns have had trouble punching it in around the goal line. Chubb is, Chubb is an


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would you rather do? Hold on, I'm gonna check your Buckeye card here in a second. They're not the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can tell younger coaches, younger thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, the difference is you, you get it from the veteran in different ways. They don't just have to be on the floor. It's in the locker room. It's on the bus. It's on the plane. It's the leadership that you don't get. It's the separator, right? That is, that is what the vet, the veteran brings to the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's like the model. How you want to do it? When I say that I'm not discrediting this Nick Chuk. I'm not saying you are. I'm talking about bringing value to my organization. That's the difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, you see when Jimmy Butler come to the sideline, who in his ear? OG in his ear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, like, like something you don't hear. You may not see this, right? That's what the value is. This is because here. So who is so, so


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, you devaluing what he brings to the table? No, I'm just asking you a question. I think he could get anybody here, right? I think his predegree behind him could get anybody here, right? Okay. I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, they always paying these young dudes, these young dudes can't play dead at a funeral. Stop playing with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think they're saying, I don't think he's saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The substitute behind Nick Chubb is the answer to all your problems. It just fortifies your organization. You know, the Browns need a lot of help


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had a lot of blank stares last year. A lot of blank stares. Defensively. There were times when you sit out here. Where's the, how many times have we sit on the show table? Where is the leadership here? Oh, I said that all. That was a huge problem. Where's the leadership?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Organizations, I don't separate them into two. I don't separate them into offensive defense. There's one organization, right? And in that organization, there will be people that will be at the forefront.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of leading, right? And there's a variety of ways. You got those that lead on the field and say, get you behind me. You got others that are working but underneath the current.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, fortify things that you don't even see going on. The normal people don't even see what's going on. Right. You got to have that. Those are fundamental aspects of any winner. You show me a winner. I'm going to show you a team full of things and people like that. You go to Miami Heat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a reason why, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, you know, listen, again, this is not against Nick Chubb, right? There are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that when you bring people over here, bring any person in an organization, sports organization, with stature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Young people naturally gravitate toward them. They do, because they're experienced, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's coming from a, a place in Dallas, right? He'll be coming from a place in Dallas with plenty of stories. He's seen the people, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And those are the people that people, young people gravitate towards, right? Now again, this is, this is here. You're not going to be the dude in Dallas, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we put on this team, it's for a different role. Question is, when you bring those people in,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you accept that role? Can you do that? Yeah, anybody like that, you know, one of these, one of them names. Can you accept this role here? Some people can't do it, right? Some people like because in their mind, it's still think I'm that dude. I'm not, you're not that guy. You're not that guy no more, right? But you can be this guy, right? And those that have can accept that role and learn how to excel that role.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They find a way to extend their playing career because they find there's value to them to have them on the team and say no matter what team, I'm keeping this dude around here. We gotta keep him. Gotta keep him around here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luckily, thank God we're in the American League Central. I mean, because if we had been any other through the business, we'd be running out of here, right? We'd be so far behind in the first place team. It'd be, it'd be nonsensical, right? So thank goodness for the American League Central.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you can because, you know, you've had different coaching regimes in here since that started, right? So uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they, they've never really put an emphasis on stick around here as long as I've been living, right? I mean, we've had some people that put some balls out here, but this has not been a place like you, you would come to and think about slugging here. It's just not, it's just not that type of place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to know why that occurs because see you get, you get Showtime out here. At some point Showtime want to get paid. Yes, right. Well, this is not that place, right? You're not gonna get it like that, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had him over a barrel though. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then it really brings back to the humanity side of this, right? Because if you're a parent, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The natural evolution of a parent is that the parent is supposed to pass away before the child. And if you're a parent, you know, I can't imagine, I can't imagine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the Gilbert family is going through. And you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nick had his challenges, of course. We've all been well documented. The fact that you lost, that a father lost a son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, is, and a family loss, a family member, uhm, is gotta be devastating, right? Even with a prognosis like Nick had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think they don't enjoy waking up seeing him every day, right? Now that's not going to occur, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now you take that and in the recent history, the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yobras have had their own medical challenges. Dan has had his own medical challenges. You know, I'm just praying for them because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Away from anything, away from the Cavaliers, sports, anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He started out so well, right? Then he dropped the ball. Right, he started out so well. So let me just fill in some of the blanks here. First of all,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lebron James has been everywhere with Ronnie James, right? He goes through everything with Lebron, with Ronnie James. Everything, and Bryce too. He doesn't stray far away. You see on his off days with Ronnie playing AAU down in Phoenix, what they do? They jump on a private jet, get out of Phoenix, right? They went and played New York. He went cross country New York, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think he was going to send Bronnie James back out here to Columbus while he was in Los Angeles? That's not going to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ronnie for the reason that LeBron is in LA now. I said, I said this from the beginning. I said look for Ronnie James to be at USC or UCLA. He wasn't going far, right? It was not a stretch and as long as it kept going on and kept going. It wasn't even about who signed him, right? Because Ohio State to be clear. They need some infusions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

That's one out of those one out of a thousand, right? I'm going to tell you what, you know where they getting good, good, uh, college basketball players at Ohio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only for the girls. Why do you think they rated? The top players in the country here are from Ohio. If you go to any team, they got somebody from Ohio on the team, right? Because they've been developing these kids, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somewhere along the line. The girls basketball about to take over the men's. Somewhere along the line, Tigers that stopped with the guys, right? And it became, you know, how, you know, when we was growing up, we had real coaches that was really trying to empower you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't do what Louisville, I mean Louisville, they don't do what North Carolina or Kentucky, uh, or, or, uh, you should, they, those schools walk into places just because who we are. We, we, I'm UCLA, I'm Kentucky, but I'm North Carolina. North Carolina was awful. They like, they still getting in the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every coach don't want to put up with what come along with Rodney James. Thank you. Thank you. You bring Rodney James in there. Who gonna be looking over your shoulder? Rod will be looking over your shoulder, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta take all this because he not gonna be the parent to sit there and be like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remind people of this, and you can talk, you can remember this from your days back in playing high school. There are always people that they say from the magazines are rated this high, right? Yep. And then when you get to see them in real life, they couldn't play dead. You're like, how did this person get to be ranked so high?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see a guy that was ranked here and over time? He got better, right? And the next thing, you know, his, his, his bandwidth grew where somebody's bandwidth stayed the same, right? I think and Ronnie James bandwidth is growing. It's growing. It's growing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at that! She can play, man. She's filthy. Love of basketball. They gonna end up dating. Again, again, I say this, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so, I'ma say this. Yeah, I'm wishing him all the best, right? Because.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a tremendous amount of pressure on him every time he steps out here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'ma see them at the NBA players, retirement players association meet in July. I'm hoping they all come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, it was, it was classic Sixers. You jump out and then melt down and then, uh, found a way to, uh, get back in the flow. And I get to thank the crowd in Philadelphia for that and they just stay with it. I was glad, you know, I was happy to see, I think James Hart is a terrific player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he always melts down, come play all the time. Always. I was like, you about to do this again? In front of everybody?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, you know, they empowered him, Joel Embiid, P.J. Tucker, they empowered him to be better and he was better. And then I was making my point about, you know, having veterans on the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see when, when, when Joel Embiid had his head down, PJ Tucker was in his ear, like, like, you better come on, you're the MVP, you better come on, you better come on, cause you need those people, but I will tell you what, um, Sixers played well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I'm looking at Jason Tatum who's fading fast. He's doing it. He's got a playoff run too. That's fading fast, right? He's fading fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm like, okay. And I will tell you, both those fanbases will turn on you in a minute. The Celtic fanbase and the Sixer fanbase will turn on their own team in a minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, do I have any issue with it? Probably not, right? I mean, here, you play with fire, you get burnt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There used to be a time where the fans were a little further back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Owners too. I've never, I've never really seen the owner sit that close. Yeah, to the floor, right? Yeah, right. The owner's usually up in the box. Yeah, right. He's from that market. So you put a real close things happen, right? And it just so happens that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two worlds came together and exploded. I would tell you is like, you know, when you sit around at Madison Square Garden, right? If there's a fight that breaks out between players, it's going to, it's going to end up in the stands because the fans are right up on you, right? And so these are, this is what happened when you put people that close. Uh, now that I think, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like look, look at the lady though. Oh, that's the lady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, hold on, big fella. It is pure comedy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank God for James Harden and P.J. Tucker to be last night because the Philly thing was sinking. And I saw Dr. Carlson. I said, oh my God, not this again, Doc. Not this again. Alright.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coach. Coach. He understands the player, right? Bringing the two worlds together. He does a good job of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is Mike D'Antoni an option? Man, D'Antoni.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There has to be somebody there to develop you. Help, because you can't develop yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody who is on, you may want to redevelop and get better. Somebody who, who has to take you through the paces, right? Keep you and say, okay, this is what we're doing. It's because of repetition over and over again. Because you remember, Magic couldn't shoot the ball when he first came. Right. And he turned into a fairly decent shooter right at the end, right? But you have to develop yourself. And so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evan Mobley at 2111, where Mike was at. I mean, he almost there right now, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a firm believer in this. It's not one person that gets you over the hump. It's a multitude of pieces, right? Some are more prominent, some are less prominent, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You win, if you look at these teams, the teams that are winning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why Phoenix struggles. Phoenix ain't gonna try to shoot you outta here, right?
