[Assistant] Only the most skilled fighters can enter the tournament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me see if you fight as well as you dress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, however, express myself in different ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just completed the final embellishments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over there. It's just a deer. Just a deer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In poultry waste, once it gets in those ditches and once those ditches begin to flow down to all these rivers on the eastern shore, it's on its way to the bay. These rivers are delivery systems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever nutrients are flowing in that river are being delivered to the bay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll shoot four, five, six hundred pictures in an afternoon and we're going to blow them up and we're going to take a look at all the details because that's how you really are able to identify exactly how that poultry waste is leaving that farm and getting to the bay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today some of the pictures I took were going to go to the site and we're going to see that on the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes it is. That's Lessig's farm right there. There's four barns on the right are the original barns. And the last year he's added these two on the end of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a big pile, but what's really alarming about this is you can see what's happened when it's rained. All of this water has collected around it and it has formed some leachate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can see how this, this leachate is running down alongside in between these barns. With all the stuff in it. With whatever it's collecting from that poultry waste. Right. It comes out of these pipes here, comes in there, comes over to here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it goes under the road and right on down to the Monocan River or right on out to the bay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Background level would be. So, there's a lot happening here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever, the sign advertised says it's Purdue, Lessig Farm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this industry says they're doing better. And you know, I can't say if that's true or false. But I can tell you that what I'm seeing here on the ground right now is absolutely terrible. So if it was worse before,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I can understand why the bay is in such bad trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I know on like the Spiderman script, we would get sides, and uhm, we, you know, you have to learn your lines, obviously, before the next day at work, and we'd get the lines, I don't know if you guys had us, but anything that had spoilers in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I was born in Poland, you know, I was born on a farm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I would go back in the summertime and chill with my friends and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dare at that time mentally and like wasn't stable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it was really hard to, like, uh, get into, like, the life of American, like, live, like, people. It's weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I went to, uh, LIC High School, which is like between Queensbridge and like, uh, what's high projects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's in Astoria, so like, it's so weird, the way Queens, uh, New York is set up, there's like ghetto, ghetto, and then just like, a bunch of like, like no more shit, and then, it's just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I was still like, just about to graduate high school and I'm like, no, I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do porn at all. And then I graduated and I'm like, what the fuck, I'm not gonna go to college because I'm not like, I'm not a book smart person. I barely passed high school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was always cutting class, fucking, just doing reckless shit, and I'm like, do I really want to work at 9 to 5? No. And I had a job in high school, and I would go after, ugh, it was terrible. So I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, one of my best friends, uh, growing up, uh, he was, he's gay, and we didn't, we didn't, we all didn't know we were gay, but we knew he was different, we knew he was, like, he didn't even know he was gay, but like, he was fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, now they all have like my age, they all have like three kids by now. So I'm like, I would rather be a hoe than fucking a mom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was riding, I was on my way to set and he was riding it down the canyon and like, uh, like to Malibu. And I guess he crashed, he fell down, um, like he fell down the mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and he got hurt so he went to the hospital and I met him in the hospital and there was another chick there cuddling him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, so did he apologize? Yeah, I just blocked him. I just like, like didn't really talk to him. And then we were living in the same apartment. We had the same, we were on the same lease. And then he's like, you gotta like, cause I was making all the money and he's like, well, you're going to fucking move out and you're still going to pay the rent and I'm going to be living here. And.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just have fuckboys and then I fuck around and I'm like- Ugh, god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've never done, uh, IR, just anal. And I was like, what the fuck?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was like, I wanted to like, be the center of attention again. Like I fuc- I missed, uh, like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, nothing really like crazy happens, like, uh, who is your favorite porn guy to fuck? Oh, that's hard. There's so many, like, there's so many good porn guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had like, uh, the last, uh, like the party, the closing party, uhm, I literally did like, I don't know, like, seven drugs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, I knew it. Like, we did like, uh, girl, girl, shh. Like, dang. And then we had like a couple dudes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm always like, yeaah, doing something on my phone, and like, always having all, like, all that stuff, like, shot, and like, getting, that's why I like to do pre-shows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, the, it was like, uh, uh, Tushira, that it just recently came out. And it was like, uh, we went to the park and like, walked around, took like, very like natural, pretty pictures, and then after it was just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Straight into like, I don't know how to explain it. Uhm, straight into the sex, yeaah. He had sex with a bunch of men. He had no one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you like to have something to eat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will you eat your broccoli, then a treat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's getting late! Time to start winding down for the night!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you like some milk in your bottle now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to have a cuddle on the couch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise. Playing in the street, gonna be a big man someday. You got mud on your face, you big disgrace. Kicking your can all over the place. Singing whee!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I started working, he used to tell me...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me gusta como te vistes. Me gusta la ropa que usas. Te ves muy bonita.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, that didn't, wouldn't make sense to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't. I might have been instructed to, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In an unprecedented move, the Trump administration announced a temporary national moratorium


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On evictions for tens of millions of renters who've lost work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simon's running out to keep families from being kicked out of their home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Texas, a federal court judge did state that the CDC moratorium is not constitutional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to visit the moral obligation a lot more because the legal obligation is in black and white.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you tried to, okay, first I don't, you don't have to go into your particular circumstances of what caused you to fall behind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you would like to explain what happened, you can do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of the people who were truly affected by COVID, they're no better now than they were a year ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're talking about them losing their homes, or their kids will have to be withdrawn from school, whatever, you know. The stakes are high, so if we have that type of situation, number one, y'all need to understand it. You know, put yourself in their shoes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now you're not considered a covered person because you haven't filled that declaration out and submitted it to your landlord.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, by what you testified to, sounds like this would, uhm, apply to you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you would need to read each and every bullet point very carefully and sign it because you have to, uhm, qualify under each one of these, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would sign it. You would submit a copy to your landlord and a copy to the court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As of today, you're not a covered person, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I would have to grant them judgment, but that doesn't mean that it's too late to fill this out. We're also going to email you guys a list of resources. We have a packet of financial resources.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, judgment in favor of planning for 330819, possession and court cause. Best of luck to you. Go down there, make the arrangements, pay off what you can, and try to settle it, okay? All right. Thank you guys so much. Y'all have a wonderful day. Thanks. Same to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The financial assistance, and I'll remind the tenant that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This person is still paying those things, like you have to remember that just, you know, because it's hard on you, remember that it's just as hard on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A group of us, uh, which all happened to be survivors, huddled and said, what are we going to do? This is, uh, really important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ABM has come to the table with the union janitors and said, we will do better and we will continue to, uh, to work with you as the watchdogs of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've made a lot of strides, but it's not over. The culture right now, as it stands, has not been fixed and say, oh great, next. It's something that we just started. There's still a lot of work to be done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You two have a little secret. Wait, what? No, it's not what you think. Yeah, I know. That got awkward fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nojumpert, coolest podcast in the world and today I'm in here with Compton's very own AD. How you doing man?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ain't caused yourself that yet though. Bro, you wanna know what happened actually? You just reminded me is that, uh, so the Sting team and Drake are the ruler currently on trial. And they fucking brought up like a big picture of them all together and the prosecutor like brought the picture up and then he goes, you know, to prove that they're a gang. And then he also points at me and goes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not in the Singh team. This is Adam Graham based and he's a YouTuber and podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and that moment when I heard about that, I was like, god damn, I'm so glad that I never like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So tell me a little bit about, uh, your upbringing, what it was like. You were born in Compton lifelong?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 90% plus of the murders are like stabbing. And it's so crazy like I'm reading these stories and stuff and it's tripping me out because I'm thinking like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not really as much of a concern, so you end up with these stories about these insane like street brawls where people are getting stabbed 30 times and shit, and I'm just reading it like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just different cause it's like so much more like intimate to imagine like stabbing somebody whereas you could be standing down the block shooting at somebody and killing them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, wow, so you've just basically been associated with it from a young age and did that, did that occur to you when you were young that it was?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That there was something different about the fact that you seemed to be able to get praise from talking about something that was like basically negative that they were telling you in school you weren't allowed to do and that was bad, but then like you would, you were getting mixed messages basically, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, definitely. Uhm, so were you always interested in the rap side of things or did you always see that as a possibility since you were young?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who even put you on to the idea of making music though, or is there anybody who helped you out with like the technical side?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. When did, when did you decide you wanted to sort of start adapting over it's like traditional hip hop in a sense?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So is that when you started to like put together a lot of what you were trying to do musically?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, did you, wait, but did you uhm, were you playing sports in high school at all? Fuck no. No? Okay. That's annoying because people always ask me that question because I'm big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when you started to get some attention and stuff, who, who, when you look at like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, your class, like the other people who are coming out at that time, who else did you see as your peers that you were really like sort of coming up with at the same time just to contextualize it since I was still on the east coast at this time and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my nigga though. Definitely. Uhm, so, but you still got a relationship with OT, huh? You got a song that came out the other day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy shit, I mean like that's kind of funny cause I feel like dancing wasn't really cool for a long ass time and I know a lot of people who are like damn, all of a sudden dancing's cool, like I've been dancing since I was a little fucking kid but it just wasn't cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy shit, that's a good story right there. Hey, but at least OT didn't give up. He's still going for it. You know what's crazy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a really good question. We don't talk about that enough. If you about to get some ass, what do you put on? I mean, now? Yourself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a lil' nigga, you feel like you got some ass, you the man. That's funny, cause like, kids invent shit like that to, because they're like too nervous, so they don't know how to go about getting into some sexual shit. The first time I ever kissed a girl was playing spin the bottle. Oh, that's actually a good way to do it. You know? We're gonna have to kiss all the girls of the party, like three different Mexican girls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chuck is hard. He's taking too long putting that out because he had those bars where he was like saying that he fucked Joe Bunnin's, uh, wife but now Joe Bunnin ain't with the girl anymore so he might have to redo that song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, actually I think there were fiancee and, and, or some, maybe he just didn't have to go through with the deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a grill, I wore the grill for two, three days and when I just first got it I went to see Black Panther with my girl and I wasn't even thinking about the grill and there was mad woke looking ass people in there and I'm just like, I'm taking it out, putting it in my pocket and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Okay, well that helps. It's about family and shit. Bro, I'm not gonna lie, I think the last movie I cried to was probably like 10 years ago, fucking Forrest Gump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah man, when I was young I was going crazy. You wasn't give a fuck. Fuck any girl. It was bad when I think about it now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, when, what ages were you when, or how, how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One more movie name I'm gonna throw out there though is I watched Aquaman on the plane back home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, alright, let me answer this question. What was your first song that really started to get you hot in the land?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like if you found out that you were fucking with a girl and you found out that she was someone's pussy for 10, 20 grand, you gotta be like, shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish somebody had put me on that because when I was young, I did not know anything about the fact that you're supposed to be trying to like get some money out of a girl or whatever. Like when I was young, I was fucking hooking up with like girls who had money sometimes, but I didn't know that I should have been trying to like convince them that I needed $500 for a parking ticket or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Them motherfuckers used to buy that shit. Everybody I know who does coke has money, like, that they probably might not be living in the hood if they were really trying to be doing snorting coke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never look back. So you wouldn't go back and stay in the same place you used to live?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it ain't a long time. That's amazing. Yeaah. Oh yeaah. Uhm, you started doing songs, well you said in one of your songs you say like, I never had a cosign. Is that really how you feel? Cause everybody who comes up out of LA, doesn't it feel like up until recently that you kinda needed a cosign to get on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was he just so, so poppin' at the time that it was alright to just take your sweet ass, to just shoot a video four times and not put it out? I seen Lil Pump shoot a video and not put it out one time. I thought that was insane. I see a lot of artists do that though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would be careful as hell at LAX. Oh hell yea, always careful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just changed so quickly. It just changed, that's bad. Cause now he's kind of got to deal with the fact that he co-signed this rat. And he, I don't know if, I don't know to what extent people make a big deal out of it. Does that seem like the kind of thing that's like a big deal to you that like a lot of people are like looking at him like, mmmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying, like, this year's viral sensations, you know, you got Blueface fighting with his baby mama, like, oh, great. We had 6ix9ine walking Melrose with a fucking army, bro. That was fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was what made it so great is that he had that security and he really needed that security because you really could easily imagine it going down at any given moment. You were kinda looking, even with all that security, you're like, that's not really enough security.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You feel me? They're gonna have to have a John Leguizamo play 6-9.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta get on that shit. Wait, so I wanted to ask this, uhm, do, okay, so Slim 400, you've known him for a while, how do you feel when that situation pops up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you, uh, when you look at you getting out of that environment as quickly as possible, and then you look at something like what happened to Slim, something like what happened to Nipsey, or is it just more and more reminders that it's not safe on the places you come from when you make it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You been there since 8pm? Huh? You been there since 8pm?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's good news, I'm gonna keep that in mind. Hell yea. Do all kinds of fucked up shit, just don't kill anybody along the way. Man listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that I would ever be in that position, shout out to Moneybag Yo, but if I was in that position, yeaah, I don't, I don't trust myself to really be in it for the long haul. You don't think so? I mean, what you're saying about the fucking taking something, you might have to take something because I might get a little too excited. That's what I'm saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imagine you finally get to fuck Nicki Minaj and you break your dick. It's worth it. You broke it before? My dick? No. No, you never did it? I mean, no. I heard a lot about it. Maybe, maybe the bigger ones might break your dick. Exactly, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna lie to you, we was fucking with Riley Reid, she's like 90 pounds, she's smashing up and down on it, I thought she was about to crack my shit in half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of my best TV experiences of my life. It has the best ending of all time. Mmm, yeaah, and you know, in New Hampshire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you mean? That's where I'm from, New Hampshire, and that's what he does is he goes off and hides away in a cabin in New Hampshire in the snow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I appreciate you coming through bro, for real man. My dude. No Jumper Coolest Podcast in the World. We will be back real real soon. Check us out on YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes. Bang bang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No Jumper, coolest podcast on the world, and today I am here with the mysterious Bretonnia 187. How you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, no, I feel like you're one of those people that everybody just kind of knows about. Everybody has seen you on Instagram, but then it's just like, you know, that's kind of the thing on Instagram is it's sort of surface level. People don't tend to go dig around on Google and like figure out where people are coming from. It just appears like people just appear out of the middle of nowhere, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bam. See, that's like, you've, you've actually got the version of the conversation that me and Lenny keep having, like, uh, with different girls in the podcast, which is kinda like, you know, people always wanna say, like, if your mom is gonna basically, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever had to have that conversation with him? Where it's like, has anyone ever acted weird to him about in school or anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it must seem weird like if your dad's a professional wrestler or rapper or whatever, but if you grow up like that and you're just sort of always used to dealing with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Family's all messed up. What is your life like at this point? Or like, what are you doing with your life at that point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coke, weed, what were you doing? Coke. That was the, what was in demand in Oxnard at the time? Meth and Coke, yea. Meth and Coke. Was there a significantly different clientele that were dealing with either of them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to, you have to smoke a lot of weed, or have a lot of weed for it to be the kind of thing that would be even close to the sort of like risk, in LA at least, that you would be dealing with, with any other drug really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're just sort of like hustling, just getting by at this point in your life? Yeaah. You finished high school?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but I mean there's some stuff, or at least like if your kid is getting a good foundation when they're in high school, I feel like that's like kind of the building blocks of what they then could go on to do in their life. Like if they don't start to learn math in school, then how are they ever gonna know if they're talented at math and they could maybe go do something with that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I think that too, because my girl says the same thing. She's like, I'll do the private snap, but I'm not trying to go fucking have to talk to dudes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was, and I never used to watch it like that, but somehow I got into that and Flavor of Love, but I don't actually remember, like, your, I'm sure you looked a lot different and stuff, I'm sure, maybe if I saw your character, like, on the show, I would remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what was it like actually being on the show? Were you actually a fan of Brett Michaels?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt like everybody was kind of like making out with them on the show but not really hooking up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, see, you know, they always had a theory that that was like a fake spit, that they like digitally enhanced the spit. Not yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, being on a show like that, is it just a bunch of, it's like backstage at a strip club except everybody's just getting drunk as fuck and they have nothing to do all day?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, okay. So, you got kicked off on that one. Were you bummed out when you got kicked off?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause if I was on a show like that, I feel like my brain would be 100% oriented towards thinking of the most fucked up shit I could do that wouldn't like end my entire career, but that I could do on camera that would just sort of like engineer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay, so you could have potentially fallen in love with Brett Michaels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Why was there even a pimp cup around? Was there a pimp around or just the cup?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy that that just happened to be around. That would be like hitting someone with a fidget spinner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Facts. Hey, I wanted to stop at this point to say, uh, go support Nojumber and buy one of these from Nojumber.com and follow at NojumberKandama and also like, comment, and subscribe. I always forget to say that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know? It's like sometimes you gotta remind people like, hey, as long as you're gonna be here watching this content for free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Engage with us. And also subscribe because we're almost at 3 million subscribers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, this woman disrespected you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this was like a one-off violent incident. This isn't like you just sorta, this wasn't like a thing you were doing all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you never know when you're getting into it. It's weird when you meet a girl and you realize she's more straight than you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you weren't like getting into crazy shit while you were in there or anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? Would you interact with the Vegas scene much out there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as much as like the OC compared to every other part of America is somewhere where, you know, a chick who's got large breasts and fly tattoos is not gonna stand out as much in the OC as it would in Kansas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the OC versus Las Vegas, Las Vegas, there's a lot of interesting looking people walking around. Yea. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. That's good. So you were conscious of that? Like this is where my tribe is. Vegas, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, ain't that the truth. When did you, uh, when did you sort of like make that decision that you were going to go the private snap route?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big time, yeaah. I mean, I can only imagine how many people you have paying for your Snapchat. It's gotta be an absurd amount of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It makes everything else, like, you selling a promo for ten grand like that, probably made that all of a sudden seem like, why would I even give a shit about that now? Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that, that completely changed your life? Like you just started making like way more money than you were making previously? What was that like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What kind of man did it take to lock you down in terms of your husband?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The relationship's still super strong. Yeaah, totally. How many kids do you have with him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, definitely. So, so once you started really making money though, how did, did you change anything about your life in particular? Cause like, some of these Snapchat girls, they're making a fucking ridiculous amount of money and then it's, I kinda like hear them having the same conversations, like they don't really know what to necessarily spend these, these dollars on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could pay these motherfuckers less. Like, there's no way. If I tell them that I want to pay them half of this, I know that they're gonna say yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's like, you know, it's like I don't want to ever like forget about caring about the details, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, but she doesn't like, you know, if you knew the amount of money she had in the bank, you'd be like, wow. Like, and, but we've had this conversation. I'm trying to tell her, I'm like, listen, I know it's not, you're not in the car that much, but when you do get in the car, if you have a nice driving experience, that's, that'll up your quality of life at least a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of frivolous. Like, what are you gonna become, a fucking art collector or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's weird. Uhm, so wait, did you have any reservations about just doing nude content in general when you first started doing the private Snapchat? Have you ever done nude modeling before that or anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How hard do you go in there? Do you do boy-girl stuff with your husband or no?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, that sounds, I mean, hey, that's a serious amount of loyalty. But so, so what kind of stuff is on your private snap, just for the record, since I'm assuming that you're pretty, you're, you have like a lot of subscribers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, does that help a lot? Is that bringing a lot of subscribers typically?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's good. Uhm, when did you start getting work done?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh huh. Okay. And did it just sort of just go from there? Like, cause I feel like the craziest thing that people see you is just you have a ridiculous like waist to ass ratio. Did that, did you just like get that all tuned up after, after having a bunch of kids?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that the way that you present yourself now is like a reaction to the fact that you weren't necessarily getting attention like that when you were younger?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but you, you intentionally went in that direction of sort of making your, your, your ratio between your hips and your waist like as crazy as possible just to sort of just keep going. Like you must have known at some point that you were taking it past the point where it was just gonna look regular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so do you have anything planned that you're gonna get done? You might add like a third arm or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I guess that's a good point, cause like, people always ask me that question. It's like, do you ever get mad at your girlfriend for being naked on the internet? It's like, no I don't, because like, same thing you just said, like, I trust her enough that it's like, what do I think she's gonna do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, this is the thing, is if my girlfriend looked like you or looked like Lena, it's like, I would kinda think they were sorta lazy if they didn't have a private Snapchat, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was making like, you know, 60 grand a year. She had a job that she thought was a good job and stuff. She was so fucking miserable. She was like, she had to go like therapist and shit because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was depressed as fuck and she was just depressed because she just felt like her whole career was like totally meaningless. She's going to the office every day just feeling like what the fuck am I doing? And when I think about that in comparison to my girl, like my girl doesn't, like sometimes she gets a little annoyed doing the private snap thing or whatever. She feels like it's kind of pointless or she sort of gets frustrated once in a while, but I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least she's like, getting frustrated doing something where she's making a lot of money versus this other, like last, like if you're just struggling and you ain't got shit going on, I'm like, man, make it private. Market yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's so funny cause there are like, if you were to go and pick out like a hundred girls at the mall of age girls, no, okay, maybe not the mall. If you were to go somewhere, a bookstore, and you were to take like, you know, a hundred like, decent looking girls, it's like, they're all like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I always tell girls that actually, it's like, if you're gonna get tattoos, just don't, don't go here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy shit. If I had been able to get tattoos when I was 11, like I remember when I was 12 that I really wanted to get like the Rage Against the Machine logo on my arm. If I had that, my life would be much worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause when you're like 18, you can just get a tattoo or whatever. And then as you get older, it's kinda like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's just, it feels like they need to mean more. But as you get older it feels like nothing means anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once you get enough and they all really blend in, like if I just had like one little thing in my arm, then people would be looking at it and commenting on it all the time, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But one of them was so, was, was too drunk, and she, we didn't end up doing anything or anything, but she was being so annoying, and she would not stop asking me about my fucking tattoos, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess that's probably something that if you want to know is are you particularly sexually adventurous because of the image that you put out there. There's probably a lot of people who would expect that you would be like crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, when you're with someone for 10 years, it's like you gotta slow down a little bit at some point, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I feel like it's probably a safe bet to say no less. You know, like when it comes down to it, if it's gonna make your man feel loved and cared for and all you gotta do is suck a dick for ten minutes, it's like, maybe just do it. At least sometimes, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My girl really usually will only say no if she's like, sick or like, sleeping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I feel like you, the one that I think I want to compromise, I feel like you're like the master of the snapchat, or the Instagram shoutout collab. Like your story and your feed, like you are like just out here trading clout girls left and right. I feel like you kind of like pioneered that almost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Well, there you go. I like somebody who's committed to what they're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, oh yeaah. There was one thing I wanted to ask about. Do you feel like the future of the private snap is safe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well there it is. Uh, I appreciate you coming on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretend you're 187. No jumper. Coolest podcast in the world. Check us out on YouTube, SoundCloud, and iTunes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody meets the Shadow Broker. Ever. Even I don't know his true identity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she didn't know that. I told her I'd set a meeting up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when she shows up, it'll be Saren's men waiting for her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such a shame. If you truly know nothing, then you're of no use to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a good day. You know, I didn't have to, uh, encounter, uh, the tenant being there, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're about halfway through the afternoon rush hour. Maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a suburb that's grown up into a city, an extension of the D.C.'s downtown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arlington had no choice but to build up, to compete with the outer suburbs. And from an environmental perspective, we love this sort of place because we're building here on old parking lots instead of building out in forests and farms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Around each of the stations we've called a network of livable communities and increasingly the world's cities are being built this way using transit as the spine for development.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've had an explosion of development in the corridor over the last 30 years. They've had, uh, tripling and quadrupling of the number of residents, the number of jobs in the corridor, and it's all been achieved without an increase in traffic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lots of concrete or brick or whatever. But very different. Great public spaces here like this park. You have shopping you can walk to right there. Great bus stop here. Outdoor cafes. Probably two to three times the number of people living here as do live in Tyson's Corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in fact, the future of Tysons is going to be in having more people live in Tysons Corner, and to make Tysons Corner look a lot more like Arlington.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it looks like I'm in luck. I was disappointed by the last villain, but now it appears that I have great material standing right in front of me. Rejoice!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I lost, I have no right to choose. Take me where you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I simply wanna see what the other Akatsuki members are like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like this jutsu of yours, it's possible that there's a sense of art that I might be able to find there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, are you really going to let him join us? He'll only steal information about the Akatsuki!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Afternoon. Sit down, have a drink. What can I do for you? Are you Lorik Keen? I've heard you might be able to help me. You are the specter that just arrived, are you not? What can an old Turian like me possibly help you with?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm the manager of the local synthetic insights office. For the moment at least.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suspect your goal lies outside this port. Mr. Analeis would be disinclined to let you wander.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you recover the evidence from my office, I will give you my garage pass, as well as a sum of credits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But which country has the sexiest way of speaking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's followed by the South African accent, people liked for its unique tones. The third sexiest accent was from Ireland, followed by Italian, and this is what's interesting to me. Australian. Can you tell the difference between Australian and New Zealand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The art I create with clay that I make myself. It can also explode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're much better than I expected. However...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm Richard Morado. I have a first grader at Sandy Hook. By the grace of God, she was shoved in the bathroom along with 14 friends and her teacher. Uh, I won't begin to tell you the things that she says and draws right now and it's progressively getting worse. So anything we can do for our community, but I think we all need to get in the same page. And if someone does speak tomorrow, let us all be on the same page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As much as you might detest this thought, at the end of the day, the only protection against a bad man with a gun


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry. We will just supply you with how much better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uuuh. Zoey, I like you a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, you mean you're not mad at me anymore? Oh gosh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Secha? Are you bringing food to your uncle at the hospital?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dad called and said I should pay your uncle a visit. What happened to your uncle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you're the best baby. When did I agree to be interviewed by anyone? I have nothing to say, cancel it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are lies. Read the article again. How am I supposed to stand behind that? It's exaggerated. If Pong finds out about this, he's going to throw a log at us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things are back to normal? You're like somebody else. You're just going to give up? Well, what else?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that makes no sense at all. Why do you have to like from a distance? That's complicated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is life so difficult for both of us? You, unlucky in love. Me, unlucky in career. But look at Li Jianjian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, oh, well, I already had cake. Do you want the rest?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've been friends for such a long time. I never thought Tang Sun would be jealous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's there for her to be jealous about? The studio only started to make money this year. We've always had such difficult clients asking for endless revisions. How can she even be jealous?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh exactly, health is the most important thing. And what else?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was in middle school, third year summer vacation. That's when it began.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I happened to walk into a woodcarving studio and I saw a woodcarver creating the statue of the goddess Guanyin. Out of the woodblock I started to see the face of the goddess being revealed. It drew my attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just caught my interest. So when I got home that day, I started looking at board carving online. Then I bought some tools and started carving at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took a painting as a kid and that helped me transition to wood carving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, just keep working hard, okay? And get those crazy things out of your head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It cost about... several hundred thousand for this, right? And even if Cho Wa Gwon gave it to you, you still can't waste it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, alright, sorry, sorry, sorry. Still, you put everything into this cafe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's be serious. I had images of our wedding day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, when I think of you, I see a biological brother. Do you understand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and I, we can fight one day, and maybe not talk for many years. But every time New Year's Eve comes, we would still gather on the dinner table, hurling threats at each other. That's our brand of relationship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The girl you want to protect is Li Jianjian at 5, Li Jianjian at 10, Li Jianjian at 16. But I'm a grown woman now. I can take care of myself and my family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The documents don't matter. Our household register may not have our names in there. But we know we're a family, registered or not. You and I are brother and sister. And that's good enough. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi director, my name's Changsun. I'm 26 years old, I'm 5 foot 5, and I'm 48 kilograms. I've shot many TV commercials and TV series, and I can carry off any style. Today I represent the character Litiana. Action!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I've been auditioning for a while. No callbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. Everson Senior High have been on a downward spiral.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time I don't get a callback, you rush in with words of comfort and all the support I'd need. Somehow that makes me feel like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got very angry and said, I've investigated you and you're not so clean, so be careful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the course of our investigation, we had to interview people. We would say to them, why did it go here, why did it go there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The response we would get would be, well before we get into that, do you know that Harvey Weinstein rapes women? Do you know that Harvey Weinstein is a sexual predator?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, had no proof of that, but this is what we were hearing, and it was very disturbing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're spreading rumors about me raping women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my response was, Harvey, I'm not saying that. The community is saying that about you. And at some point he got very angry and said, you better be careful, Tom, because I've investigated you and you're not so clean. So be careful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And got very close to my face and said, please, please sign a non-disclosure agreement. Please don't tell anyone. Man to man. Don't tell anyone what you've learned about me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said Harvey, I can't do that. He walked out, he got into the elevator, and as the elevator doors were closing, I was looking at his face and he was looking at my face, and I saw a very sad and desperate man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who is now sticking his fingers in various parts of the dike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And trying to prevent the water from leaking out and the entire dam from falling and crushing down on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got military casualties, two of the missing troopers. Looks like they were interrogated. It's messy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll do what's necessary, sir. Good luck. You too, rifleman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's just a friend. Oh for god's sake, pull yourself together, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I play a character who discovers this sexual predator and then tracks them down and then the tables are turned and is entrapped by him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harvey, I really wouldn't be pulling that thing out because it's really not pretty. And I got up and I left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a movie about life and art, and art and life combining is called Magic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She once filed a sexual assault suit against a 70 year old, quote, sugar daddy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is your book. This is a, what, what can we learn from this book? You could learn a lot. Yeaah. Yeaah. It's, it's really based on performance and recovery and I think, you know, for me as an athlete, that's obviously critical to my career. Same here? Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] College is now fundamental. If you're gonna work, just simply work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make it as an adult, you are going to need an education because the economy is about knowledge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What LaGuardia Community College has done and other colleges throughout the country have said, come to us and when we're full we're going to shut the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want to thank my agent, Kevin Uvain and God, Harvey Weinstein.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, I already told you, I don't give a crap about your little organization, I just wanna rip things to shreds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welp, always expect the unexpected, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the years there were certain people, and it wasn't just assistants, it was executives in the company who did have glimpses of predatory behavior. There were HR officials who were told about his behavior within his own company. There were lawyers who were


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we got a little pop-up going on. Ain't nobody cool, no jumper, flack to school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't realize just how many students we were expected to recruit. And the amount of pressure that they put on you, uh, to meet these quotas, I think challenges anybody's integrity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your numbers started dropping, trainers would come around and start telling you to up your outgoing calls anywhere from 300 to 450 a day to meet those quotas, to get those applications. And they used to tell us, you know, dig deep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get to their pain. Get to what's bothering them. So that, that way you can convince them that a college degree is gonna solve all their problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, what is wrong with you, huh? Why do you sound tired? You're like a dying person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're keeping secrets from me now? Okay, then why did you bother calling me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You called me at this hour because you need me to cheer you up? You're like a gas station that fills us with cheer. Don't we always go to you to cheer us up and encourage us?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tomorrow morning, when you wake up, you'll be surprised to see that the gas will be completely filled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What does me not remarrying have to do with you, huh? Besides, haven't I already tried that with Zucho's mom?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not bad. What I mean is, ever since I had you three, no one would introduce girls to me anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These years of being your parents with your dad Ling have been pretty good. Ah, I've discussed this with him. When we can't work anymore, we'll go to a nursing home. To live out our years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what's the problem? When the time comes, please give me the honor. And sign it for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forget it. I'd rather go to the nursing home and enjoy my remaining days in peace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright then. We've been talking about nothing. Go to bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What could there be between us? She's remarried and has a four year old son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're educated, so you must be right about this. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, about once or twice a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was the number one national target in 1990 of the National Abortion Rights Action League, which incidentally I consider a very great honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Legislation like this is a vehicle for a court to have the opportunity to overturn Roe vs. Wade. If God himself came down to the nine justices,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And explain to them the error of their ways, and they were now 100% against Roe vs. Wade, 100% pro-life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They couldn't do anything to change it until there were an appropriate case or controversy dealing with the abortion issue before that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The hype back and forth was, could this be it? Could this be the ballgame?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were ready. We had the bill almost completely drafted to be the first state in the union to not limit or restrict but then end the nightmare once and for all and outlaw abortion. It would have passed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have cosmetic surgery now, facelifts and botox. I think that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As women should gracefully grow all naturally, every wrinkle on our faces are gifts from time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A woman's look isn't the most important. What's important is the heart. That's what makes a woman shine from the inside out. Am I right? You think so?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They won't be unhappy. We're a democratic family. They respect my decisions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh right. My sons always wanted to have a younger sister. I'm sure that. They like Zhen Zhen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tomorrow, I'll go to the rehabilitation and consult about the physical therapy. Didn't the doctor say that I can stand again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you really not planning to send Dong Dong to a special school? He'll be old enough for primary school. What will you do if he keeps being like this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You already did, but it didn't work. It must be hard to take care of such a kid. You did it by yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't think of a more exciting opportunity for Patton to be involved in this work. We just need to move on in some way that makes sense to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't it true that you and your husband are good friends of the defendant, Victoria Lord Riley?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then that brings us to the question of why you were willing to tell Talbot Hubelson, doesn't it? Why did you turn to Talbot Hubelson?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And perhaps you could explain to this court why no one at the Huddleston firm remembers your ever having worked for them. Why no one there has ever heard of you. And while you're at it, Mrs. Wolleck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps you will also explain why since the time you came to Landview up until now, there is absolutely


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Wolek, I know this has been an arduous experience for you, but I'm afraid there has been no real clarification.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see. You were in the habit of going to the health library.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so he's just old enough to miss his daddy and, you know, I have to do everything by myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Countless interviews, and uhm, they all ask if I've ever been in a hospital. And I would have to tell them, we never set foot in a hospital. Ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nooo, I hate ittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a special three-part series, the epic story of our failure to tackle climate change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of those in the room had helped block American participation in a major international attempt to combat climate change. They feared more threats on the horizon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His Republican rival was an oil man from Texas, who was also talking about action on climate change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bush had pledged that he would place a national limit on America's carbon dioxide emissions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once in office, President Bush tapped Christie Todd Whitman to run the Environmental Protection Agency to turn his pledge into action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whitman prepared to travel to a gathering of environmental ministers from eight of the world's largest economies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Haley Barber, an influential Republican and energy lobbyist, had written to Vice President Dick Cheney.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Questioning whether the carbon cap idea was eco extremism.

[Assistant] And risked exacerbating the country's energy problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other prominent voices, some from think tanks funded by the fossil fuel industry, joined in too, opposing climate action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Vice President was stressing the need for more fossil fuels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The president too veered from the tone he'd struck as a candidate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And was emphasizing the uncertainty of climate science.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bush administration's U-turn was a victory for Big Oil, especially ExxonMobil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its CEO, Lee Raymond, was close to the Vice President, who'd been an oil industry executive himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geoscientist Bill Hines had spent years studying past climate change before joining ExxonMobil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the first time he's been interviewed about his experiences at the company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'd been hired to use his expertise in climate change to help discover new oil deposits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heinz says scientists at the company had developed a deep understanding of climate change and the role of burning fossil fuels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says he quickly saw signs of a disconnect between what he and his colleagues knew and the position the company wanted to stress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arthur Green has retired from ExxonMobil and did not respond to requests for comment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ...has long acknowledged the reality and risks of climate change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It should not be surprising that there are competing views about how best to address the risks of climate change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael McCracken was one of the government's senior scientists investigating climate change during the Bush administration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] McCracken participated in a headline-grabbing report for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The IPCC said there was now new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A company lobbyist faxed the Bush administration, demanding McCracken and several others who worked with the IPCC be removed, accusing them of scientific bias.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Within two years, the scientists that ExxonMobil had named, including McCracken, would retire or be replaced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ExxonMobil itself had been reinforcing this kind of message using advertorials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Advertisements with the appearance of editorial content in major newspapers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They promoted the idea that the science of climate change was still too uncertain to limit the use of fossil fuels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lee Raymond did not respond to our request for an interview.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In its statements to us, ExxonMobil said, there is no truth to the suggestion that ExxonMobil ever misled the public or policymakers about climate change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The company said it has been consistent with the contemporary understanding of mainstream climate science.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the science and the warnings became clearer and more urgent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the fossil fuel industry's most reliable allies started having doubts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At ExxonMobil, under a new CEO, Rex Tillerson, they had now made a public acknowledgement that the risks of climate change justified taking action. But at the same time,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were still raising the uncertainties and funding groups who disputed the scientific consensus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 2006, Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth sounded the alarm to a widening audience, warning of a planetary emergency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The president wasn't persuaded to pursue legislative action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ...but by now had publicly stated that humans were causing climate change. Other Republicans were shifting their positions too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The committee picked up the idea of a carbon cap that the Bush administration had rejected years earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wanted to set a national limit on greenhouse gas emissions and require companies to trade amongst themselves for how much each could emit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Republican candidate John McCain came out in support of the cap and trade approach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ExxonMobil contacted corporate responsibility specialist Bennett Freeman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ExxonMobil CEO Tillerson would give a speech that went farther than the company had ever gone on the urgency of the climate change issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bill, sponsored by Democrats Henry Waxman and Edward Markey, narrowly passed the House.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the first legislation to curb greenhouse gas emissions to pass the House of Representatives. Now the bill needed to get through the Senate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ExxonMobil and other companies continued their opposition to cap and trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the fiercest pushback came from another powerful force in the industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] David Hoffman was an environmental lawyer at Koch Industries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the first time he has spoken on camera about his work there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hoffman was given the job of assessing what the cap-and-trade bill would mean for Koch Industries. He met with a team of senior Koch lobbyists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Koch-funded organization, Americans for Prosperity, spearheaded the effort to stop the bill in the Senate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AFP had begun rallying opposition on the ground across the country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one from Koch Industries would agree to an interview or respond to questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, the Cokes and Americans for Prosperity had been pursuing another goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Purging the Republican Party of lawmakers who didn't espouse their skeptical views on climate change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says suddenly Koch Industries stopped supporting him and backed an up-and-coming conservative opponent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many of the Republicans who won the 2010 midterms had signed an AFP pledge opposing climate change legislation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And openly challenged the climate science that had been accepted by some in their own party and the industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fossil fuel industry pivots to a new energy source.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The third and final part of The Power of Big Oil, next time on Frontline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ExxonMobil felt that they had to get into the shale gas game in order for Wall Street to see them as a growth prospect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My peers, when they were recruiting me, they told me that Exxon Mobil was going to be part of the energy transition over my career. They talked about the excitement of having gas be a bridge fuel to the future of energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that natural gas was much cleaner burning than coal, that it produced half the carbon dioxide emissions of coal, those are very appealing to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Natural gas is primarily methane and methane when it's leaked out into the atmosphere can have orders of magnitude more global warming impact than carbon dioxide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I already felt that having many methane gas wells was a ticking time bomb for methane gas leaks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The more engineering infrastructure, the more wells and the more pipes, the more potential there is for leakage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they were marketing natural gas as clean energy, they didn't really know what they were talking about because they were fixated on the idea that natural gas when burned produces half the carbon dioxide emissions of coal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But without measurement devices to verify that you're not significantly leaking, you can't be sure that your natural gas is actually giving you less of a global warming impact than coal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The industry was not monitoring methane leakage, so they did not have data about how much was leaking. And there wasn't much appetite for management to measure methane leakage because if they found out there was a problem, they would have to do something about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] History's biggest merger created America's largest company, and together Exxon and Mobil will be the biggest oil company in the world. 123,000 employees, 200 billion dollars in revenue, and 47,000 gas stations worldwide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one still holds the codes. Let's find the array.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, big brother? Go on, tell him you're stronger than Shisui, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were going gangbusters trying to put as many products in the ground as possible. I mean, it seemed like the greatest time to be in renewables.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you started to see the political camps shift and all of a sudden Democrats became for renewal expansion and many Republicans became against.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they were eyesores. Eventually, if they couldn't get traction with those arguments, they would move on to the, they're dangerous. They cause disease. There's not enough study behind them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimately, they would also try and put roadblocks into how you built them, you know, create distance barriers or noise barriers or other things to make it harder to put projects together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump's vocal opposition to renewables and lack of faith in science and technology were big concerns for a number of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm terrified that we're not going to do nearly enough fast enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The clock is ticking. It's been ticking for some time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not terribly optimistic that America is gonna get its act together in a way that's gonna allow us to kinda make a meaningful difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fossil fuel companies that deceived investors and consumers about the dangers of climate change should be, must be held accountable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not all of them. Awww.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically his message to me was, don't work for the devil. This is a company that doesn't care about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To work for Koch Industries because I felt like maybe I can convince people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was invited to this meeting. The discussion quickly turned from the possibility that this bill might pass and what we should be doing to prepare for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To a discussion about how are we going to prevent it from passing, who are vulnerable Republicans that we need to target to make sure that they don't vote for this bill. We cannot let this bill pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a long flight, Chijon arrived in Tokyo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tomorrow he'd visit Susaki. But tonight belonged to Tokyo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Violently hungover, Chijon got up the next morning. And as he looked through the clouds towards Usaki, he remembered the reason he was here. Shinjo-kun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On his way, Chi John introduced himself to all the local fish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the breeze that cools Shinjuku's face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the sun that warms the noodles that Shinjo-kun wears as a hat. And knowing this filled Chijon with joy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shinjo-kun didn't know if he was ready for a new best friend. He had had a best friend, Chitan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the local arcade, they used sticks to whack moles. Not each other. Though they share an appetite for destruction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Destroying something together is an act of creation. Shinjo-kun made Shijon happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Chijon wanted Shinjo-kun to have a Shinjo-kun, so Shinjo-kun could be happy too. But Chijon couldn't get Shinjo-kun a Shinjo-kun. And this made them sad. Now, sadness was another thing they shared. Chijon tried to cheer Shinjo-kun up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without the sadness of the claw machine, Shinjo-kun never would have felt this joy. And if his old best friend hadn't left, his new best friend never would have come. That's too much soy sauce, Shinjo-kun said. No, replied Chijon. It's not enough fish. Shinjo-kun had found his new best friend. A little chaos fulfills the spirit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And prepares us for all the claw machines ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my gosh, that's so bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do. I'm going to Chicago though for some lit stuff too, so it's not too bad, but I like big love it out here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit. All over the place, man. I am coming from some mixed up shit. It's lit. It honestly is lit, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, when I was born, we lived, uh, I lived with my mom and my grandmother and my grandmother's husband, which is the only grandfather I've ever known. But uhm, we lived in Hamtramck, which is a, like a town inside of Detroit, like it's wrapped completely around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We couldn't afford private school anymore, so we went to, we moved to the suburbs to get suburb education to get away from the local education in Detroit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, there was more shock leaving Detroit going to the suburbs for sure. Right. There was uhm, more shock there. Not quite as much as maybe anybody else because I was always dancing in the suburbs. I was always like in like academy dance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was doing that in the suburbs while I was living on the block. So it was like, I always had a little bit of exposure, but it was definitely a change as far as my residential area going to the suburbs was definitely like a different thing. Like you don't hear the loud music, you don't hear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, I feel like a lot of us that don't have that opportunity to experience a lot of different things, we get shut off to things that are different and that sometimes it inhibits


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Relationships that would have blossomed to even happen in the first place, that didn't just, you just cut your own foot off just because that tolerance you don't have, you weren't just exposed to it, don't mean to, but uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just without that exposure, without being seasoned and having like experience with different cultures, it just is, that tolerance is just low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything that mimicked my imaginative ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was into, so whimsical dancing, things like that, you know, kind of tapped into that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a thing, but I think it came, I just came from big stock. You know, my family, it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like for real, for real. I did music like before I went away to school. So back in like maybe 2009, 2010 I did a little bit of music, but I was like being influenced a lot by my environment and not so much being myself at the time. So I ended up turning on it because it didn't feel right at the end of the day for the reason that I wasn't being true to myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I was like limiting myself from actually expressing, so that lack of liberty turned me away from the music for a second. And then I realized it was like user error, and I was like okay, I was just doing it wrong, I wasn't being me, and uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Low-key, it wasn't even what I was listening to because I used to listen to the craziest shit and like privacy, but it was more about, uhm, the people I was around. They were like super hip-hop rappers and like the people that introduced me to even having, like to the legends that gave me the platform to even rap a couple times in the first fucking place. Those people were...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't want to bring what I had, I wouldn't bring that energy to them because I didn't know how they were going to feel about it type shit. So I just fit their lane so I could, you know, make sense with that. And uhm, just on a, like an internal level that just turned on me, I didn't work out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, very lax, only because it was introduced to me months before, uhm, the actual bill was drawn up. And it was introduced to me kind of by like a friend that was just kind of like, you want to do a show with me and my friends in a few months. And I'm like, yeah, okay, cool. Sounds good. He had just done a show for me. So it was real lax. Like, I mean, my, I'm getting a buzz like in Detroit, you know what I'm saying? But at the time I wasn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm learning now that some people consider biracial only if one parent is white and one parent is not. So, or maybe just two different races at a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so I just said that, but it really I said I was as, as off the rocker to say mutt. And that's really what I say though, like I'm all jumbled up and then that's just what I fucking know. Who knows what's in there that I don't know nothing about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I thought I was getting all that only because I was heavy, because I grew up with a very fair-skinned mother, a white grandmother, and a white grandfather. So I wasn't really even paying it to everybody that was looking at me funny, looked like the people I'm around, and I couldn't imagine me looking much different from them because the people in my house don't look at me like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a growth spurt at some point, I grew upwards and uhm, I was still getting the looks though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, literally, I literally had bigger things to deal with. So uhm, so I was focused on that. Those were my insecurities were. So that is where my focus lied. And so I wasn't so much paying attention to the fact that some of those looks were because of, uhm, my racial, uhm, mix up. So uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From there though, once I started to realize and I started getting higher education and things of that nature and outside of private slash


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Predominantly white education, uhm, and doing a lot of self-educating and things like that. I had a few, uhm, some of my, like, African American


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Into it to a fault where I ended up in the conscious community and didn't find that wasn't my tribe either. Like I, but I dove into it head first on some, I need to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, and I didn't even think about that when I made the decision, and I don't think that it would have been different only because it was so like, I can't. It was really just a, I can't, and the only reason that it was even a public thing was because the curators allowed me to publicly support it already without my knowledge of what was going on with the ticket structure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And had I not got that exact backlash of hate after I apologized to my own fans for supporting it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're, you're spot on. That's exactly why I'm sitting across from you is because of how many people feel like that is what was going on opposed to me just seeing a different and much bigger picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not fucking hidden. It's clear. The issue is there. It's obvious. But uhm, how we go about it, we gotta be tactful, you know what I'm saying? Like you even said that you even gave a nice segue even if there's some things we need to think about as far as executing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How are we gonna put equity in the black community? Extra 10 bucks on a white head? Like that doesn't make sense to me. We need to, like that just, it's, it's doing the same dehumanizing to me that was being done to us. You're just like, I'm not here with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's only because of what exactly what you just said. It was something that was done very uhm, radically that ended up coming off just negligent and uhm, not well thought out only because the goal wasn't even tangible with the means. It's nowhere near. There's no, there's no way that we can


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bridge that equity gap with something like a, a, a festival where I'm one of the biggest names on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that. It's not gonna happen. Like, it's, it could be the start of something, but in that case then we need to act as if this is, we need to humble ourselves and have things that happen that looks like this is the start of something and plant the proper seeds so that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can be impartial. A great friend of mine, um, mentioned that equity has to be impartial. If you want to gain equity, you have to be impartial. You need everybody's money. You need everybody's cheese, especially if we're going to be focused on children or especially if we're going to be focused on marginalized areas, especially if we're going to be focused on areas that need, are in need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That having that impartial ability to just reach masses includes people that may have an ancestry done you wrong and have that have all the money. So we're not here to piss nobody off if we're here to make money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, just at a business level, if we can't, if we can't understand nothing else as far as on our spirit or on any, as far as we view politics or principles, we can at least say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was bad on business if we're trying to put money into the black community and if we're trying to put money into the hands of these children. That's, that's just not how, that's why I'm, yeah, no it wasn't for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hated all that shit, but I definitely saw it coming, but it's like a necessary evil just because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I said, I was publicly supporting it without knowing, so I had to publicly apologize. I apologize to my fans just in case they were triggered, cause I was triggered by this shit. Like when my, I was told by a homegirl of mine, a white homegirl of mine that's been a friend since I was a child, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, she just gotten herself together enough to, she was like, I'm, I'm coming, period. She went to go buy a ticket and that's the first thing she sees. She sends it to me like, I know you didn't know about this. So I'm, I'm like, holy shit!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I am not, I don't feel like that needs comment, I feel like that right there, I mean that is, that's clear as day. But yea, so that happened, I got that, so I was triggered and I wanted to reach out to possibly anybody that has supported me, uhm, especially because I do have a great amount of white fans, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wouldn't matter what, uh, what I had going on. You know what I'm saying? Those just aren't my beliefs and not only just my beliefs as mankind, but my beliefs as a black woman. I don't see that getting us where we're trying to go anyway. So it was,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Data black person or data white person on some like spectator shit, you know, it's still, which is still the, still the, the issue that Afrofuture is taking with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This phenomenon and I get that. I support that. I support the fact that we should be able to celebrate ourselves without feeling like we're being spectated. And I feel like that's absolutely fair. I just feel like we can get there without doing stuff like this. And in fact, this could possibly be a, and will be a setback in trying to get there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because it's still just, it's, it's loud. It's the word that I keep using. It's loud. And I understand that we get to our wits end. I understand that we are frustrated with, with hearing the history over and over again and trying to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To auntie them, it's like, nah, this ain't it. Like, this isn't how we do it. Which was really the only, my only point from the beginning, was this isn't how we do it. It only became something else because my own, what I thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where my own people, uhm, decided to turn on me. And that is when it became something different. So uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But my big message is this just ain't it. That the goal is gold. The, the, the, the intent, as far as I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know them personally personally, but the intent, as far as it's being presented, gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, the means in which to get there, tainted, you know, uhm, emotional, uhm, not business oriented, not success focused, not any of those things, not, they don't even, there's not even a measurable, there's not anything measurable going on. How are we going to even measure if we won, if we're winning, if we're going in the right direction?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More, uhm, of, of, it affects me more is because there's so many people that loved me in this group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These people I'm just, they're just now meeting as this heroine. You know what I'm saying? These people loved me before I was a heroine and now hate me afterwards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make some change. I have a blueprint for it though. I know that this shit is chess. I know this shit's not checkers. And I didn't know so many of us were playing checkers. So that's emotional for me too. I thought we were a little further than we are. So now I'm realizing, okay, I might need to go back to the checkers table. Not necessarily sit down and play, but gather these motherfuckers up and tell them it's chess now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't know that. I was just gonna start playing chess. So it's also very, um, eye-opening for me too to understand on a more extroverted level of bringing everybody together on a macro level, opposed to just taking care of my household and making sure my household is playing chess. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only reason that it even reached any headlines was because of the amount of hate that I got. Metro Times was the first in our city, Metro Times was the first to reach out to me. You know, they-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The media was able to have a front row seat of seeing people that they had seen support me turn on me in real time that made it some shit to talk about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I, everybody's always warned me about that, and I, it's not that I didn't take it serious, but it's like, it's, it's very cliche as well. It's like, duh, we know that, we know, like, but this gave me an opportunity to really see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These organizers won't care about you. Like, had any research been done on me or had anybody even cared who I was as a person, you would already know I probably wouldn't even fuck with no shit like this. So uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't even been drugged into something like this in the first place if these people cared about me or at least they would have said, hey, these are our plans. So even on a business tip, uh, we care about your career, you know, we care about, uh, your following. We care about how far you've gotten. We care about any, any damn thing you might have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was doing it on some, on some care shit in the first place. I had done Afro, I had done a show with these people before last year. It was different. I mean, it was for, I think it was the birthday of one of the curators and uhm, they booked me for it. And it was straight. Uhm, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't done like this. There was no narrative like this as far as I know. You know what I'm saying? Now I'm skeptical of what was going on behind the scenes now that I see how things are moving, but uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was never no hate, that's another point that I do like to make, like I've done this show before when it wasn't on this tip, like, and it's small and it's quaint and it's not anything that's about to uproot


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think it was more of a uhm, with all those things, considering all those things, I think the curators thought it was just going to be kind of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you, if you, but if you knew, if you knew me, you would know that. If you cared about me, you would know that.

[Assistant] But it's about being objective. Like that's what about all this shit's about. Like everything is about being objective. And I mean, nobody's completely objective, of course.

[Assistant] Heartfelt. It was just heartfelt on some, damn, this just ain't for me. And had I known it wasn't for me, it would have never been for me. But since I didn't know, now that I do, my bad for maybe putting anybody else in a compromising situation, including my own damn friend who had to hit me up and tell me about this shit, and maybe my own damn grandmother who's in heaven. So it's like, fuck this, this just ain't for me. That's all it was.

[Assistant] It's gotta make sense. Like it's gotta, you gotta make it make sense. That's what it's all about. All this woke shit gotta make sense. Like it's, you gotta think about your, the ears that you're trying to send the message to. Not so much about the mouth that's coming out of. So uhm, I feel like a lot of the woke, uhm, people don't understand that

[Assistant] Absolutely, and I think that's a huge win for everybody that's involved with this, is that there's so much awareness that has been brought to the issue, for one. Uhm, there's been so much awareness brought to the fact that

[Assistant] These marginalized, uhm, spaces and these marginalized people can need the help. And then there's also a lot of awareness brought to, like I said on my end, where people that think more in the school of thought that I subscribe to realize where some of us are and that we kind of need to, we've, we didn't fail, but we weren't necessarily focused on

[Assistant] Making that part make sense and making sure that our, that we understood that we don't have to go that route. We don't gotta take it that way.

[Assistant] More for sure, absolutely. Uhm, my music is definitely, I mean, you said you listen to it, so it's like, it's definitely, if you're not,

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not too long ago about how damn near everything that has happened was spoke up in some type of way in this music because my principles are right in the music. Like what I believe in is right in the music. I might say it in a way that lays on the ears the right way because that is what I do as a communicator. That's what I'm doing as a vessel. I want it to reach you.

[Assistant] So I'm gonna make it sound a way that just naturally feels great coming out of me anyway, but it's definitely a way that makes sense for who I'm trying to reach anyway.

[Assistant] A push for myself and some solidification that I needed because I'm coming, I mean, I dropped out of my master's program for this shit, so I definitely needed a little like, yeah, you good, you did, you made the right decision type shit to happen and this ain't it. Like this is it for sure. I'm needed here.
