[Assistant] Nick Chubb, how many games do we say, Nick, just the fourth quarter, Nick Chubb is on the sideline or why Nick Chubb ain't in the game. So they, they value the second back. That's a fact. It's just that Kareem Hunt just didn't look like that guy. I don't know what happened with the offensive line or if he couldn't hit the gaps like he, how he used to. I don't know. It just, he didn't look the same last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm not going to say that they don't value a second running back because they, it's been, it seems like Nick Chubb got two, two series, then Kareem would come in for one. Two, one, two, one is kind of how they did it the whole season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and that's the thing, so we're gonna, so we're gonna bring Ezekiel Elliott in here for goal line and short yardage situations. What's the point if we got Nick Chubb who's converting those already?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There should be no excuses. Right. There's nothing. There's no suspension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no quarterback, there's no new coaching change, except on defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play calling wise, this should all be smooth. You got a whole off season to work with, with Deshaun Watson. He got a whole off season to get with these wide receivers. You got a whole OTAs coming up that you're about to install the plays that's going to work. You have to have some type of game plan by the time that mini camp is over at that first week of June.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to have some type of idea of how you're going to attack this this year on offensive side of the ball and with this being Stefanski's year in doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, cause nothing, cause obviously Jimmy has come out and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We expect to be in the playoffs. That's pretty much telling Stefanski playoffs are nothing for you this year. So if that's the case, he should be working overnight trying to figure out how I got to, I finally got the weapons. I got pieces. Let me put all these pieces to use because my job is pretty much on the line for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, they, all four of them is pretty much the same people. To me, in my personal opinion. They all the same. They all do the same thing. They all pretty much, oh, they're all gold line, short yardage guys. None of them catch the ball out the backfield except Kareem Hunt. What's the difference? Would you be, would you be opposed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I rest my case. I rest my case. That they are the same. I look at them. I know it sound blast for me, but last year is all they were all the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If all, if Zeke, if, if Kareem Hunt, I mean not Kareem, but Nick Chubb get hurt, they gotta bring in one of those names. For sure. Because they do something that Jerome Ford can't. They, they convert on short yardage. Now you need that short yardage, those goal line situations. But if Nick Chubb is there, you don't need it. That's what, it's the halt my halt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You absolutely right. And that's exactly why they did what they did this year. You know why? The defense was the problem last year, quote unquote, to me. To me, they were the problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so what did they do? They got rid of the coaching staff. They got rid of, excuse me, they got rid of the defensive coordinator. Brought a guy in there with that experience that you're talking about. What does he do? He goes out and get Juan Thornhill. What does he have? Super Bowl experience. Then they go sign, what is his name? Rod...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rodney McLean. Rodney McLeod. Why they bring him. Super Bowl experience. Older guy. Veteran. What's this? This DB, this secondary is a group of young guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what did they do? Go get guys that's older that had the Super Bowl that's been to where they want to get to talk to them, to get them up to, to hold them to the standard that they're trying to get to. So I think exactly what you're saying is the issue that they found out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have, they have addressed it. But as far as we talking about running back wise, you can bring Zeke in here. Yes, Zeke has been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three times, uh, leading the league in Russian, three times, three times all-pro, whatever it is. But, wait, he can't tell you nothing different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did Nick Chubb, because he's done the same? Well, he ain't lead the league, but he's been top three and now he's finally hitting that stride. Everybody respects Nick Chubb, so it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Zeke came here and said something and Nick Chubb said something to Jerome Ford, I'm pretty sure Jerome Ford would slightly gravitate a little bit more to Nick Chubb. Why? Because he's been here. He's actually seen Nick Chubb. He's got the relationship with Nick Chubb. That's just my personal opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Stump Mitchell is the running backs coach there, so. And like I said, that's been my whole argument with them. We have to, and it's hard to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we gotta trust some of these position coaches. Bill deserves respect. Stump deserves respect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The receivers coach deserves some respect. Like they do a great job of developing these guys. So just trust the fact that Stump Mitchell is the running backs coach. Every running back he's put out there has been pretty good for us. So let's just hope that he does the same thing. He still can get the best out of Jerome Ford and whoever and Kelly and Felton and whoever else is there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the, so the pitching clock has worked then. You're a fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm glad that he was able to pull this performance off against the Twins. Obviously, you know, they're in our same division and they're, I think they lead there, right? They, they are with 19, 18 and we 16 and 19 or something like that, something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They need to win this series against them because they need to catch up and try to get their head in this division. You know, we've been sitting there, sitting back saying, you know, we're not going to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judge them until after May, you know, once the weather gets high, you know, the bats will start clicking, the pitching will start getting better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, like, at this point, when you got a chance to go up against, you know, people in your own division, you gotta win those games. So for him to have that moment, I was glad to see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another thing I was glad to see is that he pitched seven innings because we've been in this thing where our pitchers go three or four innings then they go straight to the bullpen and our bullpen to me has been not answering the bell like they usually have and I think that's where a lot of games have been lost. You know, some of the young guys that they brought up to pitch


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought they started off hot on the first three innings and then once the bullpen came in, the game started to get lost. So obviously,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kyle has been the second best pitcher on this team because Mackenzie's been hurt, so it's good to see him be able to pitch seven innings, you know, that way there's only two left for Klausse to come in and finish the thing off, but I think that's the recipe. The bullpen right now just ain't clicking, so some of these pitchers have got to extend the innings that they're able to go, and like I said yesterday, it was good to see him go for seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just hope that- Catastrophic power shortage. Well I just hope that they just hit a stride, you know, like, the good news is Josh Bell is finally hitting, you know, that's, you know, he started this season off like 0-1 of 17 or something crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's nice to see him put the bat on the ball. It just, listen, like I say, Memorial Day is the thing for me. If Memorial Day come around and they ain't hitting like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean, having children, I couldn't imagine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, waking up every day, especially cause every, every


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that routine isn't there anymore. Like that's, that's tough and something hard to deal with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, everybody knows Nick from, you know, him doing the draft lotteries. I mean, I think we got a couple of first picks of the draft when he was president.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, it just, he always had that smile. Just, just who he was, you know, just knowing that you're dealing with something health-wise, he still had a smile on his face. He still loved life and looked at the positive things in life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now that that's not there anymore, it's gonna be, it's tough for the Gilbert family. So my thoughts and prayers is with them as well. Cause I can't imagine, you know, if I woke up and my daughters wasn't there one day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead. Go ahead, Tyves. So to me, I've been saying for the past five months that, you know, Bronnie was going to USC. Um, I don't know why this is so shocking. Why is it shocking? Like, listen, listen to this. Alright, let me, let me, let me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] USC. I think that's in LA, right? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Obviously. Yeah. Here's it. Here's the last one. You ready?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bryce James, star of LA high school basketball. So we got the James gang is dominating three levels of basketball in LA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then on top of that, I think when he came down here to come do his visit at OSU, they were, uh, he was with a guy by the name of, I think his name is Tason Chapman. It's the, the recruit that he was with. They both came on their visits together. Bam!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he ended up committing, like, I'm gonna commit right now. So he committed, so in their mind, they're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gave up our spot, you know? Listen, listen, and then on top of that, listen, on top of that, we got, we got a, we got a point guard already. No, y'all don't. Yes, we do. Y'all ain't got no point guard? Yes, we do. We got a point guard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so, so, if you see Ohio State did bad last year, and you're Brownie James, would you come there? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a fact. You know what else to have it packed out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is serious. Yeaah, come on. I gotta sit up for this. Yeaah, please do. Do Ohio have good basketball? Like the high school basketball?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, cause the top players, the top player in the state, one, they don't go to Ohio State, and two,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't really pan out to be that great. Oh cause we, cause here, let me tell you why. So why, what's that about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what it is. Am I wrong? It's just not love of basketball. Am I trippin'? They even got the, how about this? They even got the girl from the high school is going to USC as well. How about that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, I got a question. I'm glad you brought up coaching. Is it okay that the, that the last, the last four championship coaches, three of the four have been fired? Yes. But we keep JB Bickerstad? Are you okay with that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need a seven foot center that can shoot threes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of those things, but I mean, like I said, we didn't have that on the roster. I'm just, just throwing out a suggestion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And before, before this show started, Mcnuggets told me it was a 0% chance that I'd win this bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't the Cavs do that last year? Didn't they try to do that with, or was that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Listen, my final take is, uh, I was thinking about, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was thinking about that, uh, Charles Barkley commercial, you know, where he was saying, I'm not a role model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's funny because back when I was younger, I would think, like, no, he's not. You're not a role model at all. I mean, that is your parents and all these other guys. But then I sit back and I think about, you know, just some of these athletes and some of these, you know, famous people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Particularly our athletes and it's, you have to take everything that comes with this business, you know, when you're in this, this thing. Do you want to be a role model? Probably not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But somebody, there is some kid that's going to look up to you. Now should they? No. Or should they not? Yeah, maybe. Depends. But you have to always try to do the right things and do what you value the most. Because some kids gonna look at you and want to be like you and they're gonna value the same things that you value. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as far as being an athlete, an ex-professional athlete, you know, you gotta take everything that comes with this business, you know, like as far as...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even when you get cut, you know, you gotta still keep your head up high and deal with the hard times, you know, you might get injured, all of those things. You gotta somehow find a way to always keep your head up high in this business, cause there's a lot of lows and you knew what you signed up for, so you gotta be able to handle, you gotta take all the good and the bad.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can remember walking up the stairs with an interpreter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the family was all, uhm, crammed into this tiny kitchen. And we sat and we talked to them. And we must have been in there, I don't know, a good hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the father who didn't even speak English, I mean, just held onto Joe. And I mean, he was so grateful that Joe had come to offer condolences to the family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just two men, really, who had gone through something horrible, uhm, just offering comfort to one another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We came in and saw the finished room and the first thing he didn't like the furniture and he started cursing out of honor and he pulled the door off a piece of furniture. He was so angry. I never saw him so angry in my life. He was very scary that day. He was very, very angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said, Ivana, what is it? And she says, you, you don't know what it's like. You just have to deal with him when you work for him. I have him 24 hours a day. And I felt so terribly sorry. I mean, she really did everything she possibly could to please Donald. And I think she got the short end of the stick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was on the red hat. He was on the red shirt. And the red shoes.

[Assistant] Your job. So I have had no income coming in, no child support. So I had to try other programs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, to assist in helping us kind of get through this portion of life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whose schooling was interrupted by COVID-19? This...

[Assistant] This unemployment is uhm, just specifically for that. They're gonna be giving me a weekly benefit of that much money until...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I find a job, but everything is still pending though, so I haven't got anything yet. Every little bit will help the necessities of life, like toothpaste, toothbrush, stuff that we need for feminine products or summer clothes, for example, since our stuff was freaking taken away through storage, auctioned off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So today they have, uhm, bananas, strawberries, pears, lettuce, and sweet potatoes.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, sometimes to be 180 degrees of what he had decided just a few hours before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no question that in the first several months of 2020,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This unwillingness to think about the implications meant there was no strategic planning going on because that would have meant acknowledging we were facing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a severe threat and he simply did not want to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been asked what I would do and I've said I probably would have gone along. How am I going to say no? And then I would have felt very badly about it later, but that's an effect Trump has on people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Played under Schwartz and Philly, there's the connection. Played 15, started 15 games for the Colts last year. I'm not going to pretend to be a Rodney McLeod expert, but obviously I think Jim probably pushed for that, wanted him familiarity with the system, what he wants to do. And, uh, the Browns probably did need to add another safety, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he's not going to win it this year, he's not going to win it. This was the best chance, obviously, coming off the heels of the Donovan trade. And it's funny that the counterpart to that, rarely do you see the guy who gave up the superstar finish high in executive of the year. Justin Zanick finished third, although really I think Danny Ange had his fingerprints all over that trade from Utah's perspective. The funny thing about this, Monty McNair,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Kings made all their big moves the prior, the year before. Like this was almost like a lifetime achievement award for Monty McNair for turning the Kings around. Really young GM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And McNair, they kind of keep him out of the media eye. Like he doesn't do a ton of media. Uh, wasn't, he was like not even signed to an extension as of a few months ago. They just extended him. He wasn't the last year of his deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, you know, I mean, the biggest moves that the Sacramento made last year was, I think, you know, their draft pick. And they trade for Malik Monk? And they signed Malik Monk. That was their big move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, their real big move was before in trading for Sabonis. That's really what helped flip this thing around. But in terms of the Cavs, you know, it's a regular season award.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he gets, you know, a lot of that is due to the Donovan trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but, I mean, only Cavs executive to ever win this, I believe, is Wayne Embry. I think Wayne won it twice, and, and that's it. No, no other Cavs executives have ever won this award. So it's probably, I mean, when they first made the Donovan trade, I thought, well, he's a shoe-in for executive of the year now, if they do anything at all. Um, and, and, but, you know, finished second, and now the real work begins, because now they gotta fill out


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I tend to, I would have priced Adam last night because you got one. Like you went on the road and you got one. You're coming home 1-1. And every team's going to say, that's not enough. We want more. Okay, fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming home 1-1 is good enough. Self thinks we're never losing two games at home. Watch how little LeBron plays tonight. Watch how little effort he gives tonight. Right. Because. We already got one. They got one. They're good. Rest tonight and come home 1-1 and get ready to go. So I tend to agree. I would have sat and beed, come home 1-1 and now he's ready to go, hopefully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without getting into the weeds of the salary cap, they only have certain vehicles to add players to. So it's not just willy nilly, well let's go into the tax now. Because they have about a 12 million dollar exception, mid level exception that they can use. And that's really it. Like they don't have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That many other avenues because of the structure of the salary cap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have to resign Karis Levert because they don't get that money back if they don't. It's not like they can take that money and go elsewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, it, it, I mean, Caris Levert, I know this is a Dylan Brooke conversation, Caris Levert has all the leverage here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is sort of like where Tristan had them a couple years ago where Tristan held out and they vastly overpaid for him. Right. Because they had no choice. They're kind of in that same boat. It's him or nothing. You can't replace him. Right. You can't take that money and go elsewhere. Yeah. So Karis has, so you may see Karis get a little bit more than he's probably worth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the worst thing you could do is start paying tax money now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's gonna screw you a couple years from now when you have to pay Evan Mobley and some of these other really big contracts really balloon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they have to be careful not to go into the tax now. Part of me agrees with that. I was talking to another team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a few days ago, he was like, hey man, you can't worry about that. You got Donovan Mitchell on this team now. You gotta go into the text now.

[Assistant] So there's two, there's two schools of thought here to look at this. But the Dillon Brooks conversation, I don't want Dillon Brooks. Boy, you said it, he can't shoot. They need shooting, shooting, shooting. And we just said, there's a finite budget that they can spend right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $12 million exception. I would look at Austin Reeves, restricted free agent from the Lakers, a guy who can shoot. How much does LA really want to pay him? He's going to go get every last dollar because this is his one chance to cash in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really like Austin Reeves game. He's still going. He's a key piece to the Lakers. Restricted free agent. I would look long and hard at something like that before. I don't understand this Dillon Brooks conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He brings the level of nasty that they need. And you could find it. I said it on the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, before he punched Donovan and before he really lost his mind this year, I liked, I liked Dylan is, is that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, this summer is finding guys who can shoot. Dillon Brooks does not fit that. I would not, I would not pursue that. So Reeves would be your top priority? As of now, yeaah. Is that a realistic option? I mean, he's restricted. So, you know, how the Lakers can match whatever you give them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I would be interested in him. I haven't talked to anyone over there about him. I don't know if they will be or not, but that's where, of the names that are out there, that's one place I would start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mikey, I'd argue he's there number three. Behind Lebron and AD, it's Austin Reeves. Better than D'Angelo Russell? Oh yea. Russell's on. Absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's impossible to say because I mean, look, if they get past the Knicks and I understand that's a big if they got blasted in five games, but the East is a wide open path now to the conference finals, at least in Boston. So I mean, yeah, I, I think I wrote a column tongue, a little tongue in cheek, a little serious when they traded for Donovan that all three Cleveland teams could win a championship in 2024.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it sounds ludicrous and I got roasted for it. And I'm like, well, I was kind of being sarcastic, but kind of not, you know, another year of growth out of, out of Mowgli and another year of growth out of Garland. And yeah, I don't think it's unrealistic to think that the calves could be in the conference finals next year. And once you reach that point, you know, then it comes down to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've used the Bosch comparison, and the two names that kept coming up in terms of Mobley, in terms of long term, because there's always comps, you're always comparing guys. Especially in the NBA, this guy's this guy, this guy looks like this guy. Bosch and Anthony Davis were the two that I've heard more than any others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and Bosch, I think cause the left handed thing, and he would really have to develop more of a three point shot and he really hasn't done it yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you look at AD and the way AD's dominated, I mean, AD I think is going to have a monster series against the Warriors because they don't have anyone who can match him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, and I could see, you know, the defensive side is there between AD and, and Mobley. And I could see that. I could see him taking that leap. I absolutely think Evan Mobley is going to be significantly better next year than he was. I hope he comes back 15 pounds stronger, 20 pounds stronger than what he is now. I don't think it's unrealistic to think that he's going to take, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But his three point percentage, what was Bosch's three point percentage? That was probably significantly better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and that's the point that I don't know if that piece will ever come to his game. Now the other part of that is this idea about playing Jarrett and Evan together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't know if that's... You think they may move Jared this offseason? I don't think they're going to, no. And I, I don't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said before, I would not move Jarrett based off because he had a bad series. He got the Knicks. I think that's emotional and reactionary. Yeaah. But I think you do need to take a step back and go, how do we get better? What pieces do we have? And is this tenable?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To play these two guys together. Not so much in the regular season, but in the postseason. Can we have success playing this way? And we talk about Evan taking that leap and maybe it's a thing where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jared comes off the bench in a postseason series or something like that because I just think this team will be at its best when Mobley is at center and four shooters are around him. Now, can they get to that point? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and one more thing on this real quick, like this whole idea that the Grizzlies are trashing Brooks because of Shams' tweet I think is really misguided here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it was. I think, like, Shams tweeted, the Grizzlies have informed Dillon Brooks that he won't be back under any circumstances. Now, maybe, and there's no quotes in, well, there is a quote on that one, under any circumstances, but in Shams' original quote, he didn't have that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Grizzlies are doing him dirty and they're making him like the scapegoat and the fall guy. Listen, I know Shams obviously fairly well. We work together. I have not spoken to him about this at all, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The assumption is that the Grizzlies are the ones that told Shams that. I don't know if that's necessarily the case. I think just from being in that field, I think Memphis was trying to do right by him and telling him, we appreciate what you've done. You're not coming back though. You know, we're going to go, we're going another way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's over. What's the big deal about that tweet? And now suddenly it's turned into, and I think, and again, I could be totally wrong and the majority could be right on this, but I just read it as Memphis telling them you're gonna have to look elsewhere. This is over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shams could, very well could have got that from Memphis' people. So why, I'm sorry, from, from Dylan's representatives that he's leading. It's the original tweet, I guess, that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The original tweet is what everyone is upset about because Sean said under no circumstances, you know, that he, he's not going to be back under no circumstances. So they're saying that like Memphis is doing Dylan dirty, which I mean, Dylan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but that like either making him the scapegoat and the fall guy for what went wrong. And, and Dylan said a lot of stupid things. Like the stuff about Lebron was stupid. So there's the original tweet. Yeah. Brooks will not be brought back under any circumstances, league sources say. Now Mike, why is that so bad? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's my, that's my guy's tweet. That isn't Memphis. There's no quote marks. You know what I mean? Like that's just the wording. That's the language that Sean's used.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All players are soft in every sport. You can't criticize any of them. They all go crazy. Oh my God. But the NBA players are the worst. NBA has more power. The NFL players, man, like, I don't know. But I'll tell you this, like, and the NBA players will come back to you or any, we'll use NBA because that's your right. In general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the teams can trade me at any moment. They can cut me at any moment. So why can't I have any say or power in this either?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but I'm saying, you're saying like, guys ask for trades and force their way out. Well, you could be content and perfectly happy and love a city, and they can uproot your life and trade you anyway. It's the same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I blame the teams. That's why I blame the teams that would sign Kyrie. You know what you, that's why I killed Dallas for making that trade. I'm like, what are you, what are you doing? You know how this is going to end and it didn't even turn quicker than I thought that it would. Like I thought he'd at least behave for the rest of the year. Can't even get that far. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Memphis not that long ago was like the darling franchise, that everyone, the plucky up and coming team, everyone loved, everyone loved Ja, and like look at Memphis, this is so much fun, and now they're like despised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean Jordan Elliott is a bad pick. Uhm, so is, uh, the linebacker, Jacob. That's a riff. But okay, so let's start at the top with, uh, with Jed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The player, so, let's, remember, going into that draft, it was, tackle, tackle, tackle, tackle, tackle, they have to take a tackle, they have to take a tackle, these are the guys to pick from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guy picked directly after him, and Kai Bekden didn't have his fifth year option picked up. And the guy picked after him, Tristan Wirfs, has been a good player, but he's playing right tackle, and they've got Jett on the left side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hasn't even moved to the left side yet, like they still haven't moved Tristan to the left side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At no other point, if things go well, they should not be this high again to be in position to take one of these guys. Here's this cluster of tackles to choose from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they could have come out of that a lot worse than what they did. But the overall grade of the draft, I think it's a B. You know, the fact that, like I said, you got a starting receiver out of the sixth round, that's a hit for me. Grant Delpit, he's so frustrating to me. I think Grant Delpit's a guy, if you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't, I don't want to, I don't mean this to sound as harsh as it might come out. Just put him in a position to go make plays. When he starts overthinking things is when I think he gets into trouble. See ball, get ball, go get ball, put him in a position where he can show off his athleticism, where he doesn't have to think too much. And I think he'll be fine. Uh, I, you know, I think it's a solid B, B minus maybe, but I wouldn't go any lower than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely, but you could have a guy at the 11th pick who's not even getting his 5th year option picked up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're probably splitting hairs here. I think C minus is fair because they've lost 40% of their starting rotation right out of the gate. And this is an organization that's been built on pitching for years and to lose 40% now you can argue, Savali, what are you really going to get?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the fact is, 40% of your starting rotation was knocked out right away, so I'll stick with the C- there. I don't understand how you give the Twins a B+. Like, what are you basing that on? Why are they a B+, they're three games better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Camp Detroit, I'd argue, exceeded expectations. They're still sorta lingering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's actually probably even still a little bit higher than I thought, but still, but other than that, like straw got off to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now they got hit with more Espino news yesterday. He's done. He shot. He shut down for a year or more. It's not good. It's worse than Tommy John. When you're talking shoulder and capsule. He's just gone now. I mean, I texted Zach Maisel. Well, I'll see in two years when you're a reliever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh god yea. Yandita Tampa. Jake Bowers came here. I think Edwin was somehow wrapped up in that trade as well. It became a three team. But really if you want to drill down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think at this point last year they were 15 and 16. They're always terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, middle reliever. Another guy doesn't really overpower. Throws low nineties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think he's going to AAA, and I would make... Is he going down? I think he is. We'll see. I think he... What else is he gonna do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put him in the pen. Well, I agree with that. I think if you take off one or two of his pitches, make him a two pitch pitcher, put him in the bullpen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's May, I'm not going to say it's a huge series early week of May, first week of May, but twins are in town this weekend. Yep. So you could be tied with them or you could be six out by Monday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because like he's not, he doesn't have the overpowering 98-99. Yeah. So his, his, his margins are razor thin in terms of what he can get away with and what he can't. And we saw that yesterday. Like he pitched a great game yesterday, but made two mistakes and they hit them both out of the park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And trade value. Well yeaah, sure. So I'll be curious to see how this goes. Uhm, you know, we've said before, I think they gotta move them this summer, or this, uh, this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't think they'd do anything. I mean, I don't know, they traded for about a year and a half left. And if things really unravel this year, they might have to look at that. But for now, I'd be surprised sitting here today if they traded them this year. But over the winter, it'll happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They always start slowly. They play their best ball, July, August, when you want to be ramping up for September. I'm not at all worried about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we've said it a hundred times. They have everything they need to go get whatever they want and they have needs. They're going to have needs. They need, they have to add another bat. They have to add an outfield bat. I tend to think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Logan Allen could be a bit of a showcase. I don't know that he's, and maybe I haven't talked to him and maybe I'm wrong and he is part of their longterm plan. But you know, Gavin Williams and Tanner, Tanner Bybee are going to be in Cleveland for a really long time. I don't think they're going anywhere. Trista McKenzie, there's three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we'll see with Quantrill, we'll see with Savaglia. Right. And, and maybe Logan, Logan is that. But I just think if he pitches well over the next month. Yea, maybe you trade him. He's a showcase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's interesting, uh, when we get filled out, when we get filled out, I ask that most players don't like the new generation. They prefer their generation. So it's interesting that he thinks it's better as the game has progressed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did, but you can stop with this nonsense about putting them on the Mount Rushmore basketball and take LeBron off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is not carrying a franchise the way that Lebron can carry a franchise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were just having a conversation. It was interesting to me. Most players of your generation and past generations don't like as the game progresses. They like their generation better and think they did it better and they were tougher and stronger and all that. But you seem to like where the game is headed. That's just curious to me because most guys of your generation don't like where things have gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're talking earlier about when you were traded here and how lean it was. You missed out on a championship window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're part of the Bill Lane beer trade. Bill goes to Detroit. They start winning titles. You come here and you're playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remarkable. He can't do what he did in 2016. No. But in those bursts. But he's still a top 20 player? He's still, he was the best player. Top 10 still? He was the best player on the floor in the Memphis series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I might be in one day, just buy a ticket, walk, like they'll let anybody in the basketball hall of fame. They do have writers in too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Did he throw BP? Did he hit any kids? He threw BP. He was terrible. Who? Mikey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, see, we already missed the window. Because I finally got a roster. I really want to score. And we've got a ton of 5th graders. And not as many 6th graders as I thought. So the lopsided wouldn't be as bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my AJ. We joked about it in the car the other day, like once it leaves his hand, it could go over the backstop, it could go right in the mitt, it could hit you in the ribs, he's got no other words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have this. Look at that ring. It's cute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here come this white SUV, up on my, all up on my rear. And I'm like, okay, so I said, let me just pull over, get to the, you know, I jumped the next lane. And next, then I kind of look, I'm like, okay, let's turn it out. And then it slows down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We hit the city, get the exit, get off, I'm following, you know, I pull up. So we at the light that cross, you got to cross over into the parking lot. So I'll see the 133. I cut the blinker. Oh, I said cool. So I'm like, so listen, so now he pulls in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it was, I mean when you use Giannis and it gets the back injury. Yeah, you saw in the first half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The difference in New York, New York is like, we ain't been in the playoffs in 20 years. We, we turned up the entire time we here in New York. So for them to come back home, I think they'll have the crowd behind them and they'll fight, you know what I'm saying? But it's going to be a tough one to try to win three straight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say he would need to have anywhere between 34 and 40, but at least 10 dimes. The offense is going to have to go through him. He needs to be hot. This is what I'll say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's hard to say. I mean, you gotta, your top seven gotta do everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? You may get to eight, but your top seven got to do everything. These guys, you know, LaVert got to be able to come in and give you a spark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we traded for him, he's an Ohio guy, I mean, so he needs to probably have double digits, maybe 15, 16 points, you know, and allow us to manifest, but the energy in the stadium has to be there. If there's no energy in the stadium, then the Knicks are just basically over the ballroom and end it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead, Mike, cause yours was different than mine. Mine was definitely different, uh, you know, 20 years ago, you know, so really waking up that morning, I was excited, you know, had a couple...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, what team am I going to play for? What pick am I going? You know, how much money my signing was going to be like just being realistic and just thinking, you know, going into that draft, me and Troy Palamalu were one and two rated, you know, so I'm believing like, hey, I'm going to go somewhere first round and I ended up being the fifth safety taken in that draft. So Troy does go Pittsburgh trades up from 29th to 16 and drafts Troy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know this because one of the player personnels was in the room, told me this when I was on the team, when I got there, like, man, we almost took you first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a conversation between Dungey and Polian to basically decide we want to help Peyton or we want to help the defense and Bill Polian told Dungey, we're going to get Dawes, we'll come back and you know, trade up to try to get him, you know, if we can early second. And they were trying to trade up, but they ended up, you know, getting me at the 59th selection. But that's the difference between


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How they play, you know, felt my personality, my style of play, and obviously Troy was a Hall of Famer, great player, and uh, you know, I actually, when you, when you're going through the process, you kind of, when you're playing Tavis Nose, you kind of build up this animosity from guys you don't know. Sure, sure. Right, so imagine, this guy's all the way in California at USC, and I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Troy Palomar a little like, man, he ain't as good as me, I'm, you know, I'm better than him. Yeaah. You know, and I'ma become a Walter Campo All-American.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guess who's the other safety? George Palamalu. So now we go out to Connecticut to the Walter Camp banquet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we know Black Tux, Black Tie Fair, everything. And my wife now is my girlfriend and Jasmine, you know Jasmine, McKinley Grad. And we go out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we finish the season, we win the ship, you know what I'm saying, and everything. Now we're at the banquet, and we get dressed, we come down, and they got limos picking up all the, all the players. And it was like raining. Troy Palamalo gets an umbrella from the hotel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very humble, you know, great being, human being, like God made this man to play football and on the field his tenacity, his energy or how he played a monster, you know what I'm saying? So when I, when I finally met him and we got to really interact and talk, I had to like really like calm down and was like, man, Troy, I actually like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say the one thing I have learned in the business of the NFL is they're going to draft off need and they also now it's a storytelling, right? So they're going to draft a story. What's the best story we can tell with this pick? How can we actually market this thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NFL is a business and they're great at what they do. They're great at marketing. You know, they truly are a marketing organization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when it comes to the teams and the picks, now you gotta figure out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's going to help me win now? It changed when he as Tavis stated with the new CBA. You can draft a guy now don't have as much invested when you drafted in my time. You were there three four years. We're going to get this money out of you. But now they can write that off. They can, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that, I mean, for example, back to Troy, I get drafted second round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I walk into, I walk, I was, uh, Dallas had to sign first, so he held out like one day, so I was behind him, they wanted to sign him first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My first practice was special teams meeting or the special teams practice. So, you know, you come in, you see the death chart. Then I look up. I see, I was on special teams. I'll start. Okay, good on the defensive death chart. I saw I was behind Gibby. We call it Gibson and behind Gibby. I'm like, okay, the next morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next morning team for practice. I'm starting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like Jayden Reed if he's available. It's an offensive game. I don't think he'll be there at 98. He'll go before, he'll probably go before the receivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he was. He gave, he gave. He didn't have a quarterback to really give him the ball. I mean, he played well in the Peace Bowl a year ago. I had a big game, had to cut the game when the touchdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I mean, he's very talented. So you think he's going higher than that? I think yes. It's an offensive league. I think he'll get drafted higher than that. Um, you know, just the run on receivers will just start once they go to start. That's what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Chase potentially still hasn't tapped into it yet. So he's only really had one and a half full seasons in a sense, two full seasons coming off of ACL. He just got played the back half of last year. He'll be back at full strength. This is a proven year for him. So I don't need to pick the option up right now. I want you to go earn it. If I'm the GM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let him play it out. If he outperforms, we're going to let him go anyway. Let him go to open market. You know what I'm saying? Let him go to open market. You can try to lock him down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. No, I actually do. I won't even miss, uh, was it Mondays we got paid?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, no, uhm, the game, outside of Monday, when we got the deposit, I will tell you, that's the only thing I really have. You're happy to be done. I'm happy to be done. The game has awarded me a great lifestyle and gave me a head start. Like I said, you know, you get a million dollars at 22.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I came from nothing. I came out of the mud. I'm from Canton, Ohio. My uncle raised me. So to be able to get a future, an opportunity to say, hey, I get to play the game I love for six years, you know, was a great experience. Um, you know, obviously the career I had Ohio State, um, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, in high school, end of our senior year, so she was born in Columbus. Her mother married a guy from Canton. They moved to Canton in middle school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we met when we were 12 years old. And uh, we were just best friends. She's my best friend. Outside of John Luke. My man, John Luke. Shout out to the mud dog, John Luke. Watch it. But uh, to answer your question, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the knowledge of the maturity to get my degree, get my masters and just to be a good person and carry on, that keeps you in the room. You know, I always tell these young athletes today, hey, look, you can be a superstar and people want to spend time with you and network with you. But if you don't really interact and get to know people and build a relationship and allow yourself to truly become a friend,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, at the end of the day, what are you doing it for? You know, just to hear fans cheer your name in the stands. The crowd's gonna stop at some point, and it stopped for me when I was 28. Right. So, you know, regardless, the game of football, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It said, it taught me life lessons. You know, I was geared not to go way back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was thinking about my drive just coming up here just our experiences together. You know what I'm saying? It happens fast. I'm only 42 as of the last month. You know what I'm saying? So I got three beautiful daughters, you know life after football has been a blessing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, working on, uh, some development stuff. I just got nominated and selected to be in the Emerging Developers Program of the Affordable Housing Trust in Central Ohio. That's awesome. So, uh, they were taking, you know, uh, women, minorities, people of color, uh, to basically educate you on development.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, just really enjoying this thing. It's been a process, but ultimately,

[Assistant] You know, the game, I miss the locker room. Sure. If you know, if you miss anything, the locker room, your teammates, you know, the seed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Tavis is a national champion, being a national champion on Ohio State.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, to know what we put in to get that done, and then to be a Super Bowl champion with Peyton Manning, Hall of Famer, Ed and James, those guys, man, to be a part of that team. It's truly a blessing, but you know, I would just trade it all in the world for just good health and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only ring I was allowed, I was told I have to wear. Who told you that? Hold on, I'm going to break it down to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I get selected to the Hall of Fame last, last year. Congratulations. So I appreciate that it caused Hall of Fame. I said, you know, I would, I wanted to always have the dream to go back to Canton, to be that dude. Like man, I'm out of Canton. I'll make it back. But hey, my six year career, I know I ain't gonna make it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, to get selected to, you know, the College Football Hall of Fame was a truly, truly a blessing and an honor. And this is the ring here. It represents, you know, being a College Football Hall of Famer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, no, seriously, uhm, when I went to the Hall of Fame, so imagine you go out to Vegas, it was a great experience. We had at the Bellagio, it was there four days, my kids, everybody, and then you walk in the room, there's Ronnie Lott.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? You got Bob Stoops. You know what I'm saying? You got Archie Manning. You know what I'm saying? So like, you got some heavy hitters, Desmond Howard, all these people walking in and they like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you know, this the ring you can wear at all times. Like the team rings, you know, but this is like, this is you, this is the ring you wear at all times. So no matter what, like this the one I wear when I do wear one because I really wear them. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Exactly. Like, so imagine, so when I, you know, when I got it, and uhm, this is a great story about Jasmine. This is how, you know, she was always in my corner with my fans. So, I got recognized at Iowa game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At last season on the field, my on-field tribute with the College of Hall of Fame and the fans and the university.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, so she got all these text messages, why weren't you on the field? What, what, where were you at? Blah, blah, blah. And she said, this is the last time I like, I remember what it was like sitting in that seat being a fan and watching him do his thing. I wanted to hear that crowd from that, from this same experience and get that last yell in because she was, you know, there from day one. So, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly, I did not. I truly, he was very, very quiet, he was very humble, he went to work, his dad, blue collar, mom, blue collar, as you stated earlier, the relationship, I would always speak to his mom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I would kind of like pull him because he was, you know, younger to younger, younger guys, but he was talented. You could see the skill set. He was a baseball player. He was a football player, played basketball a little bit. And he kind of was like focused on baseball and football. Then he had to make a choice. But when he was kind of just growing, he was always a big kid. I just remember like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That time, when I was a senior, where it was like, you gotta grab the young dudes like, look, hey, the Kenny Cherries, the Kenny Peterson's is gone. It's your time. You know what I'm saying? Like, I need you to step up into this role. I'm gonna lead, but I need to make sure when I turn around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I played him as a freshman against Glenville and I scored my first career touchdown, beating them. But that game, as you stated, when I was a senior, but go back to your story, you was talking to your story. Oh yea, no, no, no, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was supposed to be Richard Bradley, cause we had myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, DeMarlo Rosario went to Kent, Jamar Martin went to Ohio State, and they were the tailbacks the year before in our national championship team. They rotated, and me and Richard rotated a little bit too, and I got a couple touches, but I already had defense locked up, going to Columbus, whatever. So my senior year, I'm like, it's yours to just do you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dude, I would be like, was uhm, Tim Friedman. So Tim Friedman was a Hooper, dude played corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play receiver, like truly one of them dudes that would show up and make the play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make D play whenever and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This quiet, they don't say nothing. Like, the quiet is the quietest dudes. Like, he'd make the player just go back to the huddle like it didn't happen. It'd be the game-saver tackle. He'd just come back to the huddle like, what's the next call?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a story about V Fox. So V Fox went to Plain City. He went to Glen Oak. Right. So he went to the neighboring school and I got, I was a freshman. I played against his brother Derrick. Derrick. Who was a really good player too. Was with the Colts. He played against Derrick. So I remember I actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Randall L for them back then, you know, touched the ball. So now I'm, I think is it kickoff? Yeah, it was kickoff. So I'm running back kicks my senior year. Dustin Fox is on kickoff for going up because he like got him basically be the safety heater passes per on their team. And I'm about to break it to the crib and this dude like, like trip me up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm back there, see the scramble, and I run over there, but my cousin said in a huddle, he said, man, I swear they coming my way, Mike, I swear they coming my way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he turns this way to the pylon to the helmet, he probably scores.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The referee stand right there, dude run up, and they look down, and I'm standing there, and I see the pylon, and I'm like, it ain't nobody touch it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the pie line is up and pie line is up and he just goes like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I, what I was able to accomplish in Columbus to come back my senior year and say, hey, I'm coming back to win a national championship. They had a foresight. God, you know, just willed me. Everyone knows the story. My mom wanted me to get my degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be the first person to graduate on our side of the family. And ultimately,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I just said, when I went to the appointment, I really didn't know. I was like, Lord, whatever your will, let it be done. When I spoke it, the, the, the energy in me and the tenacity of just being, I wanted Ohio State to be better when I left and when I came in. And even though I came off us finishing number two,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, I've been used to winning on every level. I said, I'm going to speak this out. I have some money coming back to winning now. Get my degree and win a national championship because I have won on every level since our little league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they say greatest season that I've ever been a part of, that's the greatest season that I've ever been a part of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when it comes to remembering the greatest experience that I had to be a senior on a team that we had just won the national championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be, you know, I'm a 17 senior. I wasn't even 18. I'm turning 18 till March. I'm a 17 year old senior leading these guys and no one thought we would do anything. Kerry Hodakovic came from Upper Arlington and Columbus because Tom McDan was retired. It was over. Tom was like, he was like, national championship. I'm retired. I would never get this off. It would never do this again. Kerry comes in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we somehow just figure it out, get to the playoffs and we get to the state championship. But as far as back to the Richard Bradley story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm playing tailback. I'm the feature back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just gotta take it serious. Uhm, you know, unfortunately, uh, they just gotta really take it personal and really...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get to that week and know what's online. You got a lot of kids. My biggest thing is Coach Trussell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I would say, you know, we gotta, you know, put a gate around the state of Ohio, keep our talent in the state of Ohio. And it's a little bit of a opportunity that you recruit so widely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My single favorite game I played as a Buckeye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That first win against that team up north, uh, going up there, we haven't beaten them up north since 1987.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It checked the box for the promise he made at the basketball game. And I had two INTs. So I was bowling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that changed his mind. Changed his mind. I told him to come on too. I said, look, I got you, bruh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Fred Taylor. We had our battles. Uh, yeah, Fred Taylor, Jacksonville, Jaguars, and the league, you know, physical power back. Freaky, too. And, uh, I smashed him one time when I was a rookie. He fumbled. Yeah. And then, you know, I got up, talked a little smack, and then the next time we played on it, you know, it was divisional, division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say that was one of my favorite games that I had a career game. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Against Michigan State, the first time I actually got true minutes, so it was garbage minutes, we were losing, they put me in, and I end up, that's, I had the most tackles in a single game against Michigan State I had, I think 16 in one game, and T.J. Duckett was there running back, so yeaah. Is that the most you ever had in one game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, the game is just, uh, it's a lot softer. Yes it is. I would say that, the game is a lot softer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, people's personalities, you know, you, you can, a coach could say something you never think he would get out the locker room. And all of a sudden it's like, oh, you heard that. I mean, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost like Antonio Brown in the locker room going live on Instagram at one time with Mike T is like, it's just too much exposure. So I think the coaches have to be a lot more delicate in how they direct their message. So, do you want to say what it is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I truly worked in the apartment complex where I live. I used to clean out the vacant apartments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I would paint the vacant apartments for extra money. So that was something I did to make a little bit of grocery money. Take my girlfriend and my wife now to the movies. So at the end of the day, you know, I don't have that Tavis lifestyle. Whoa, I didn't have no money. I didn't get paid. You know, back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Democrats had agreed that weekend that they should do this.

[Assistant] And when made clear that this will help you politically, this will shore up your base, he said, we gotta do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember, nobody had seen her and nobody had heard from her. Not even the senators. So it was a total surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you realized how genuinely terrified she was to be there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It shocked a lot of the older, longer serving senators that once again this issue was being brought into the public sphere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Warren Court or the Burger Court or the Roberts Court, we're living in the era of the McConnell Court now, because he did what he did. And it very well could be the McConnell Court for several decades to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this was an opportunity to really change the direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not just for the next four years, but Republicans were hoping for the next 40 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Show that most Americans wanted Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court, which caused some of the senators, particularly the Democrats, to try to go easy initially.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Show mercy and protect the rights of individuals. He says it'll be an intellectual feast. And most people said, who's the dinner?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heck, you're six, seven years younger than I'm 48. How old are you, Judge? Forty-two? Three?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe there are certain things that are not at issue. At all. And that is his character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lasting his party's leadership for stonewalling the nomination process.

[Assistant] To what are Frontline's supreme revenge on DVD?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While y'all get started, I'm going to get me some Tylenol and take this right now because these dudes is giving me a headache. So what we're going to do before I even get into it, I need to get myself together and prepared to talk about this. Okay, look at that. Jason, so you start us off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you said, Jason said a lot. Uhm, there's a lot of people, I could just, to me it's any, many, many more. I could blindfold myself and just pick somebody. And that would work well for me. Uhm, but I'm gonna go...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, also to roster construction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, one of the big glaring issues is the fact that they really didn't do anything at the All-Star break to make this team better. They got rid of Kevin Love and we can all say right now that looks like a huge mistake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they also, in constructing this roster, have Jared Allen and Evan Mobley playing beside each other, which now we know does not work. Uhm, that is not gonna be something moving forward that's tenable, that's going to win you championships, and then,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll throw a slight little bit of this on JB. Yes, you had a terrible, not the ingredients you wanted to do what you want to do. But at the end of the day, there's one thing that is free. Effort is free. Intensity is free. Work ethic is free. And attitude and nastiness is free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I won't say that I'm satisfied with this season because the way that they ended this season was a joke because they didn't offer any resistance. They looked like they didn't even care to be there yesterday. And now we look to see what they're going to do moving forward. But no, I go to roster, uh, I go to roster creation and also the coach and figuring out why the heck can't we look like we fighting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See you tomorrow. I actually don't have a problem. What bull just said because heavy is the head that wears the crown. Um, when you are a superstar, I said I saw back in the day when Kobe Bryant refused to shoot against the Phoenix Sun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? He sat on his like, man, y'all think y'all so good? Go ahead, do your thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen what LeBron got. When you are the best player on a team, that's what happens. If you don't get him over the hump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You the man, you gon' get the critical, and you gon' get the most blame. And I do believe his numbers is misleading, and it's right. It looks like he's doing his thing, but when it came up to big moments, when you needed a big shot, when you needed a big stop, he was not there to deliver what he was supposed to. But however, he didn't play the worst in this series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The person who played physically the worst in this series, I do not want to see back on this roster completely. Jared Allen to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jared, look at that line. And I don't say I could do a lot of things, but four points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the most damning part about the situation is his body language. His body language looked sheepish, it looked coy, it looked shy, it looked passive, the entire game. At some point, he was just running up and down the court, getting cardio like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He couldn't catch the ball. He couldn't defend anybody. He couldn't, and we don't even talk about the physical nature of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to say this, just because Jared Allen was one of the first people we got on this team and signed him to a contract, that's our damn fault. That don't mean you good. That just means he is better than what you had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to win a championship, because he's unplayable against solid bigs, and when people say, well, Jared Young, Jared Allen, is it, he is, how old is Jared Allen, 25, 26? 25. He's been in the league, what was it, 6, 7 years? You don't, you don't, you don't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you don't come back with heart. Heart is something that you, either you're a rough rider or you not. He don't, you don't come back with no heart, no aggressiveness. And I thought the series was dead when even yesterday, Julius Randall put his clothes on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cavs roster is just, it's just not, it's just not good enough. And by the way, I'm rethinking where they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, you know, it's so many, and I'm not a loss for words so many times, but just to break it down on a basketball level and just so people just don't get too emotional because they'll just say, you guys are just being just over the top negative. Listen man, if you can't beat the Knicks, and no disrespect to the Knicks, and I said this before,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, this is the problem. Here in Cleveland, we gotta understand what the barometer is. When we get hit with the barometer, it's an awakening. And instead of calling it what it is, we wanna punt it down the street and just hope for the best. Let's just hope that they turn into something. The New York Knicks are a nice team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the reality check that you got in the playoffs is you saw what your roster was. Now, is either you want to be, uh, uh, proactivit about it and believe it, or you want to put your head in the sand and bury it in hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This team is nowhere close to competing as, as what this roster is. Nowhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you talk about the front court, not only was he out-rebounded by Mitchell, Hardenstein, Toppin, Josh Hart, there was times Brunson had seven, eight rebounds, six, seven rebounds. Those things are not conducive. What we overestimated was the fact that Evan Mobley, we throw unicorn out there a lot. Listen, we need, it was more like My Little Pony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It ain't no unicorn right now. Right now, Evan Mobley is a five. That's what he is. He is a center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They need to play him as a center. At least if he is a center, he could play at 15 feet, take a couple of triples and get to the basketball. But all the pipe dreams of him pulling up like Kevin Garnett or Dirk Nowitzki or any of that, that is not in the books right now. And if you want to bank your team on that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And go with him at five. But the twin towers, people forget Tim Duncan and David Robinson used to hit a 15 foot jumper. We got two guys that can't do that. So stop saying twin towers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They gotta split this apart. It's not gonna work. They need to figure out. And that's why I loved about LeBron. LeBron put maximum pressure on the organization. That's why people don't really ever embrace getting LeBron because LeBron tells you,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he's not. He's not. Like, listen, he's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evan Mobley is a second year player who's undersized. He ain't got no meat on his bones at this point. And no, I'm not gonna come. If you think that the reason they lost is because of the coach or second year player,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not listening or trying to understand basketball. That is unequivocally false. You got, you got veterans and the guys that should have been leading you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where Evan Mobley, now excuse me, but Darius, or not Darius Garland, but uh, Jared Allen, because he is the energy guy. He is the hustle guy. And a veteran. And a veteran who's been there, and Donovan Mitchell, and they didn't. So, I'm not even, that's the reason I haven't killed Darius Garland yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's why, that's why, like you said in the beginning, if they run back to the same roster knowing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not interested in watching them. I'm not, I'm not going to watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, but if you come back with the same core guys...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you have a limited roster from a skillset standpoint, you cannot just roll the ball out there and run pick and roll all season and not develop any sort of go-to. Like, that's not gonna work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so what you ended up seeing at the end of the game is, okay, in this series, if Donovan and Darius don't do anything, we're screwed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Donovan Darius don't hit shots were screwed. There was no effort to get Evan Mobley into certain spots. I don't even know what his offensive game includes. I don't know where he likes to get the ball. That just means you haven't tried to develop it. You can't go into a season and just say, here you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then wonder why when everything bogs down, everything slows down, people are looking at you. And here's another indictment on JB. The bottom line is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pace of this team is entirely too slow. I agree with that. They are not a old decrepit team. They got guys that are athletic and Garland and Mitchell that can get out. Evan Mobley can run it for Jared Allen can run a floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are you playing the slowest pace ever? That means you get no easy buckets, you get no transition buckets. And you never throw those long Kevin Love passes. You can never, everything is, the defense is set looking at you and saying give me your best shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here's the thing, I would, I would say, I would argue that Jared Allen, if you go, you want to look pick for pick, and guy for guy, Casdon got a Mario Chalmers on this team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't even have a Norris Cole. They sure as hell don't got no Udonis Haslam being gritty, tough. They don't got that. They don't have any, they don't have Jawan Howard. They don't have sharp shooting like Ray Allen coming off the bench. When you start to look about how these teams is constructed,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we, we have the, we have the benefit of the doubt of finding and looking at the way that the Cavs won in 2016.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This team is light years. I mean, it's not even in the same, it's not even the same ballpark. Like, as far as, and it's not just the top guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the Roll Guys. It's the Kyle Corvers. It's the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I look at it like this. I talk about Stefanski all the time. I talk about coaches. Coaches now, they don't understand that it takes more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To lead men than knowing what you're doing X's and O's. That is a small part of what your job is. Your job is a motivator. Your job is a guy that is supposed to put out fires. You're a guy that's supposed to be able to communicate very well in tough situations to get people to buy into what you're saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The option can't always be fire people. People always say, well G Bush, you always talk about management and you talk about that thing. No, no, no. Management skills translate to anything you're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's life. Everybody gonna be a little moody. Bull just told Mikey McNuggets in a nice way, shut the hell up. I've got this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's start it first. I might have started from the beginning. No, G. Bush, you can't bring him up like that. You gotta baby him. No! I see some videos on my like and bring him up here and now he is the right handed version of Randy Johnson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've always thought, like, just bring them up and see what they got. Because here's the thing, there's a guy who's now, I'm watching every one of his starts. Cause now I can follow, I done followed him. I done got into my YouTube time machine. I'm like, this dude is filthy, bro. I can't wait to see him up here. And now, guess what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, the fans are like, oh, I like this young dude. At least I can dream and figure out whether or not this guy gonna be a part of the rotation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, former Cincinnati mayor Jerry Springer has died.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm gonna watch. It'll be like, you know, now what I do is because the Browns have not had really...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After this crop of people, like after this crop of guys, cause there might be four quarterbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's like, are there any teams that will need quarterbacks after that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think about it. Everybody seems to have found something. Like even the Jets got, uh, Aaron Rodgers. Yep. Uhm, the only guy I can think is if Russell Wilson plays horribly again. But after these teams go out and draft Stroud or draft Bryce Young and then you got Will Levesse or Richardson, that's four more quarterbacks off the board. What other teams need quarterbacks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hinden Hooker I think is a second round pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think, I think there'll be four DBs. No safeties though. I don't got no safeties going in the first round. So I'm going to go right at five. So you're under? Yeaah. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he, he's gonna be about 13, 14. I don't, there's too many quarterbacks going in the first. He kinda looks nerdy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he does not have that level of production. Uhm, he don't have, it ain't like, he's one of them dudes that look really great but can get locked up because they don't have no moves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'd be cool if they do. I think he's the third corner on the big board. Uhm, I think he goes a little later than that. 26, 27.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they, they, they've whiffed on, I mean, I mean, but the Trent Richardson whiffs, the Brandon Wheat whiffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know a dude from the block, his name is BJ Tillman. Shout out to him. Y'all don't know him. That's your Tillman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I gotta reach out. Me and Jason are on the schedule a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anybody on the Browns radar, uh, would you, like, before we were really hot and heavy about DeAndre Hopkins, there was a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it was a weird era, like, uh, the Cavs era where, you know, they go to Gundarina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, they got the creamsicle uniform. See, a lot of people don't like them. Listen, to me, I love the creamsicle uniform. That was crazy. I got a shooting shot. I said, listen, I got to get that off. I like them too. I like those, man. You came up after Mark Price and it was crazy because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you, we had Price and you know, we had Elo and Doherty and all those guys. And then you was kind of the second generation of point guard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like you became the guy, like you, you just, it just like, okay, Terrell Brandon is this guy, you made the All-Star team. How, how was that trying to make your, your stamp on the roster after some of the glory days, the eighties and moving into the, uh, into the nineties?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wasn't hatin'. You heard who was comin' back. You say, I ain't trippin'. Look, that's the ring man. At the time, at the time, respectfully, that was the deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I'll be watching these little shows and it talks about how good pro players are, right? And like, they go and say, okay, like they have Brian Scalabrini, right? Uhm, former Boston Celtics. He'll go play, like, regular guys that are in the gym.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, exuberant? That's not a word. And the Cavs back in the day, they had, listen, they had, they, you know, Mark Price, Steve Kerr can knock it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heck, Kevin Johnson back in the day can knock it down. Uh, Craig Elo used to be able to shoot. So the Cavs had some ballplayers coming off the bench, like, that really could really knock it down a little bit back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what that means. Did Kyrie Irving body switch you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That just shows me that there's no accountability. There was none from...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they're more refreshing than the browns when they have theirs because the browns are just straight up live filibuster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But these dudes came out, and I give you credit for being honest, but I'mma be honest. If you watch Kobe Altman and the rest of the guys...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this is, this is what they told you, and it is utterly disrespectful if you feel like you're gonna bring the same energy back next year. Cause I'm just not gonna, I'm not gonna pay attention to it. I, like, I, these guys just didn't care. They didn't care. And admitted to it. Am I watching that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imma just jump since everybody's making a, uh, a question. Yeah. I'm stripping all the medals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll apologize for the fans about the Marion Jones, y'all. The medals are coming back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Donovan Mitchell is not about to be in the top anything. No. He is now below Kyrie Irving. I'm not even adjusting that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Second of all, that was on me, that was on me for even suggesting that these people were up any level. And from now on, LeBron James' name shall not be mentioned with any new guys. Earl's gotta apologize for that every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been stuck playing Zelda for the past few days and that's all I've been doing is listening to that tape on repeat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks. Oh man, so, uh, you got the Faygo. You all ready to go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what, that's what it always is. You ain't even got lean in it, you just fucking rock with the perks in the drink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think you're too used to being reliant on it when you go to do music?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it was basically, they took your clip from the Small Eyes interview or whatever your other interview was of you just talking about taking perks and they were trying to make it sound like you really had a problem. So I was wondering how you felt about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but so take somebody like Thug though who's been around the block, he's been doing drugs for a long ass time, does he, what was his advice when it came to the Parks and stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is it about your upbringing that made you and Keed two of the hottest rappers? Because you're not like doing shit together all the time necessarily. You are doing your own music. You got your own careers. I believe that you'd be totally hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Regardless of the other one, but it's kind of crazy that you guys like grew up together, blood brothers, and that you guys are both blowing up at the same time basically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, because you feel like the more established rappers, they look at you guys like you guys got the energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's, he's one of the people that is making it so that like, you know, cause if you have an interview coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was so funny. You know what the best one is? Regal reckless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But see, okay, that's the question. Soulja Boy goes in there, he trolls the fuck out of the rap game and that interview and all that shit, and then he starts blowing up more. Do you see it like that? Like that you need to do some troll shit in order for people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would think that doing all the perks and shit would make you ready to smoke some crack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not like ready, but like, you would think that you were sorta in the zone. Like, I don't know, to be real, I did so much coke and molly and shit in my life that I feel like if I smoked crack, it wouldn't be that crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that shit's gonna be going for the high for sure. You're gonna be paying crazy money on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Take all your money and put it into the jewels?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So your last project was just you? You didn't have no label or anybody helping you out with the last project? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen a lot of people saying that you and Kede in 2019 is gonna be like Gunna and Baby in 2018.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But does that make it weird for you guys to have such separate careers in the sense that, you know, he's not running around with you on your press run in L.A. He's doing his own thing. Like that's kind of rare. But you guys still seem crazy tight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so what's the biggest differences between you and your brother?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the biggest differences between you and your brother? Cause I heard him say that he don't do the designer and everything. I know that's very, very big to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, yeaah, cuz like, you seem like you're kind of from-
