[Assistant] Uh, or forced to plug our brains to the AI. Uh, but it is nowhere close to displacing humans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The AI giants want to paint a rosier picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, yes, we, we've made about 40 investments in AI. I think, uhm, based on these 40 investments, most of them are, uh, not impacting human jobs. They're creating value, making high margins, inventing a new model. But, uhm, I could list seven or eight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] would lead to a very clear displacement of human jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both will happen. AI will be at the same time a replacement for blue collar, white collar jobs, and be a great symbiotic tool for doctors, lawyers, and you, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, the white collar jobs are easier to take because they're a pure quantitative analytical process. Uh, let's say, uh, reporters, traders, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Analysts, yes, these can all be replaced just by a software. Uhm, to do blue color, some of the work requires, you know, hand-eye coordination, things that machines are not yet good enough to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I would argue that history, uh, is only


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trustable if it is multiple repetitions of similar events not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason I think it might be something brand new is that AI is fundamentally


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Replacing our cognitive process in doing a job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In its significant entirety. And it can do it dramatically better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is really an outgrowth of the increasing gaps of haves and have nots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the wealthy getting wealthier, the poor getting poorer. It may not be specifically related to AI, but as, as, as, but AI will exacerbate that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that I think will tear the society apart because the rich will have just too much and those who have nots will have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps very little way of digging themselves out of the hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with AI making its impact, it'll be worse, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think about the massive data that, uh, you know, Facebook has on user preferences and how it can very smartly target an ad that you might buy something and get a much bigger cut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a smaller company couldn't do. Same with Google, same with Amazon. So it's, AI is a set of tools that helps you maximize an objective function.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that objective function, initially, will simply be make more money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, if one has to say who's ahead, I would say today, uh, China is quickly catching up. Uh, China actually began its, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big push in AI only two and a half years ago when the AlphaGo-Li Se Do match became the Sputnik moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Liberate us from having to do routine jobs and push us to do what we love and push us to think what it means to be human.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do governments, uhm, limit themselves in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the one hand, using this AI technology and the database to maintain, uh, a safe environment for its citizens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not encroach on, uh, individuals' rights and privacies. That, I think, is also a tricky issue, I think, for, for every country. I, I think for, I think every country will be tempted to use AI probably beyond the limits to which that you and I would like the government to use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe about 50% of jobs will be somewhat or extremely threatened by AI in the next 15 years or so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm Norm Abram, and welcome to another season of the New Yankee Workshop. We've got an interesting collection this time, including this old-fashioned Victorian umbrella stamp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how about a coffee table made from recycled pallet wood?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over here, an old fashioned wheelbarrow constructed from oak and incorporating a modern pneumatic tire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now for the gardener in the family, how about a gardener's workbench with storage for tools up above and some large bins for the potting soil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now for the child in the family, a nice oak wagon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another interesting piece was inspired by a Danish collection, a half round table, known as a console table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And incorporates curved rails and curved legs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's get started with a project today that everybody can use in their workshop, a rolling shop cabinet. Plenty of storage down below. A large drawer at the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's meant to be used next to the table saw or as a station for many other portable tools. Some have even suggested that maybe it should be used as a microwave cart in the kitchen. I'll show you how to build that next, right here in the New Yankee Workshop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the most frequently asked question I get about the workshop is what is the most important tool? And I always respond by saying the table saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One like this with a good cast iron table and a good rip fence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One that'll stay parallel to the blade giving you nice true cuts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if you buy anything any smaller than this, you might be a little bit disappointed, especially when you're trying to handle big sheets of plywood to build cabinets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now as good as this saw is out of the box from the factory, you can make it even more versatile by building some accessories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like this roll around shop cabinet. Now a lot of thought went into designing this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, the casters make it easy to move into position. And the height of the top is even with the saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the choice of the laminate was not an accident. It was from experience. From accessories that we have on our shop saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This laminate I found is very durable and because it's slippery, almost like ice, makes it easy to push panels through. Now the edges of the top are oak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that they're durable. And I made sure I allowed the top to overhang the cabinet. And that's so that I would be able to use clamps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like this. And get a good bite to hold down maybe a router table or a surface planer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The base of the cabin is made out of birch plywood, which is relatively inexpensive, pretty durable, and finishes up nicely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you know how most drawers, they only open out about two thirds of the way? And you're in there searching around trying to find something that got way in the back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found some full extension draw slides. These devices right here on the side. It lets it come out all the way, and they're strong. They'll hold about a hundred pounds of weight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now for the doors, I didn't want any hardware to show, to hang them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I want them to be strong. So I chose these European hinges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's strong because this part of the hinge is mortised right into the door. Now down below,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have a similar problem, if you have a fixed shelf, you never can find anything that's way in the back. So I got full extension shelf slides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I put a band around the shelf to keep things from falling off. Now down at the bottom there's four swivel casters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a locking device to keep the cabinet from moving around as you use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if you'd like to build an exact copy of today's project, a measure drawing and a materials list is available. And you'll hear more about that before this program ends. I'd also like to take a moment to talk about shop safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be sure to read, understand, and follow all the safety rules that come with your power tools.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knowing how to use your power tools properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And remember this, there is no more important safety rule than to wear these safety glasses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now here's some of the plywood that I picked up at my plywood outlet. And they offer a couple nice services. One is that I don't have to buy full sheets. Which is especially good on a project like this, because I really need one and one third sheets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other thing is that they offer a free cutting service. So I had them cut me some panels a little bit larger than what I need, and I'm gonna true up all the edges using my table saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it's very important to use a good blade when you're cutting veneers. It should be one that's designed for cutting veneer plywood. And carbide tips. And notice how many teeth. In this case, 60.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what that'll do is minimize any chipping of the veneer. So now I'm ready to size the panels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need a dado along the top of all the cabinet sides. And that's to receive these corner blocks. Suppose you could just nail them in place, but by sitting them in a dado you get a bigger glue surface and just a stronger block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because this block reinforces the top of the cabinet and gives me a place to fasten the countertop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also need a dado that runs down along the inside of the side panels into which the back will fit. And there's one more set of dados.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Down at the bottom of the side and back panels into which the fixed shelf will fit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dry assemble a couple of the pieces of the cabinet to show you a detail here. Now all the edges of the veneer plywood that show, I'm going to cover with this thin birch veneer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna put a piece here, and I'm actually gonna put a piece here to cover up the dado that I don't want to see. But I'm afraid that if I don't fill that dado, this veneer is too thin and not strong enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm gonna fill the void with some little pine fillers. Just use some hot glue to hold them in place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now it's time to put some veneer on the edges that are going to show. And I've used a couple different methods over the years. One is to just buy regular veneer and apply contact cement to the edge of the panel and to the back of the veneer and just glue it on and trim it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few years ago they started coming out with veneer that already had glue on the backside. And it was activated by heat. So you could just lay it over the edge, take an ordinary household iron, and just iron it on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The latest thing is this edge banding tool. And these really came about due to the fact that shops would want to produce a lot of cabinets and edges at one time. Just a roll of veneer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this little heat gun, which blows hot air onto the glue surface, heats it up so that it gets melted, and you bring out the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wood onto the roller and just roll it along the edge. Works great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you wanna make sure you keep even pressure against the roller and you move at the same rate of speed. That takes a little practice because if you go too fast it won't stick right and if you go too slow it'll overheat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now when you get about two and a half inches from the end, you just strike this tool right here, which is just a cutter and it shears off the veneer. You finish it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you'll notice that the veneer is a little wider than the panel and that's really just to give you a little bit of a fudge factor so you can get it nice and even.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found that the best way to trim this veneer is to use a router.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've equipped my router with a straight cutting bit with a little ball bearing which guides along the side of the piece. Now the standard procedure for using a router is to move it against the rotation of the bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And really that's primarily for safety. But when you're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trying to trim a very thin veneer like this, safety really isn't a factor, it's chipping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in this case, you want to move the router with the rotation of the bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now to make sure that everything is absolutely even, a quick run over the edge with the sander and that takes care of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm ready for a little assembly. A little bit of glue in the dados.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when you're working with veneer plywood, it's also a good idea to put a little bit of glue right on the edge of the panel that's going to fit into the dado. Because the veneer tends to absorb the glue quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I counterbored the hole a little bit. I'm gonna plug that with a little plug later. Now I'll just use an inch and a quarter screw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And any glue that might squeeze out as I'm assembling it, I want to make sure I clean it up as quickly as possible. Just with a damp sponge. Otherwise the surface won't take the finish very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this top rail gets held in place with a little bit of glue and some four penny nails.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now for the bottom rail, same thing, a little glue and some 4-penny finish nails.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now for the corner blocks. A little bit of glue. They simply get slipped into the dados.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'll fasten them with some one inch brads, right down through the top corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this center rail is pine. And that's because you don't really see it. It's hidden behind the draw front and the doors. And I'm using some screws to fasten it because I don't have any corner blocks to give it strength.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now remember those holes I drilled for the screws? Now's the time that I think I'll fill them in. Little bit of glue in the hole itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're tapered a little bit, so when you drive them into the hole, they fit nice and snug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The casters are held in place with four carriage bolts. And I've just started a little bit of a hole by holding the caster in place as a guide. And now I'll finish drilling it through the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now just put a carriage bolt through, give it a tap so it won't spin, and bolt the caster in place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I'm using my belt sander to remove a majority of the doll that's sticking up above the side of the cabinet. Then I'll sand everything smooth with my finishing sander. And that should do it for today. Tomorrow, we'll finish it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been waiting for you. I want to show you the parts that I've been cutting for the drawer. This is for the back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These two pieces are the sides, and this large piece is for the bottom. And they're all half inch AC plywood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now clamped in the bench vise is another piece of birch for the draw front that I've edged. And I'm getting ready to cut a dovetail joint. I'll show you what I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a different method of joining a draw front to a side. It's a sliding dovetail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The side slides in through the joint, really making it secure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now to cut that joint, the first thing that I have to do is lay out the center of the dovetail cut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I also put an indicator mark here. I don't want to go all the way through and show the dovetail at the top of the drawer. Over here is a layout line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And offset, and I'm going to set this clamp on and use it as a guide for my router.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a half inch dove tailing bit. And the key here is to hold the router tight to the back of the draw front and against the guide. Move it slowly in, watching through the base of the router and stopping right at that indicator mark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta be careful because if I pull the router out while it's running, I'm gonna ruin the joint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's tapered. The bit is tapered. I just wanna move it in slowly, shut it off, and push it back out again. I'm gonna need your prayers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've installed the same router bit that I cut the socket with in my router table. And by carefully adjusting the rip fence, I've made this sample to see how it's going to fit. Let's check it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just snug, that's what I want. Now I can run the sides through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So back here at the table saw I've reinstalled my stacked dado head cutter and I've set it up for a half inch in width and made a groove along the back edge of the side where the back will fit into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that takes care of the groove for the bottom of the drawer to fit into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now to make the groove in the drawer front, which is gonna receive the bottom, I can't do it on my table saw because it'll show through the ends. But I can use my portable router, which I've equipped with a half inch straight bit and a guide fence. I'm just gonna drop it in near one of the dovetail sockets and run to the other one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The drawer goes together with a little bit of carpenter's glue. Let me just slide this joint together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if it needs a little help at the end, block of wood and a hammer will do the job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The back of the drawer gets glued and nailed into place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is not glued to the sides in front, just nailed along the back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Installing the drawer slides is just a matter of following the manufacturer's instructions. Some screws into the drawer side and some into the case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the doors, more edge banded plywood, need two 35 millimeter diameter holes for the hinges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The top of the cabinet is made from three quarter inch high density particle board. There's two by fours around the bottom edge to give it some thickness and it's all banded in oak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've already cut the particle board to size and the 2x4s that go underneath it. I'm just going to use a little bit of glue and some screws to fasten the 2x.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the oak banding that goes around the countertop is mitered at the corners. And that's best done here at my power miter box, which I've set at 45 degrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to secure the oak band to the counter blank with a little bit of glue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I'm gonna do first is nail the corners together with some brads. Then I'll secure the rest of the band with some screws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The high pressure laminate for the top is applied to the substrate using a contact cement. We'll put a little bit out on the piece, roll it on each piece, and when it's dry, carefully attach them together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now you only get one shot at this. This is contact cement. Once it touches, that's it. So I've cut the piece a little oversized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm using the same router bit that I trimmed the wood veneer with a little bit earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll notice that I chamfered the edges all the way around. And to do that, I just set my router up with a chamfering bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to secure the top to the base with four two inch screws through those corner blocks we put in earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using the table saw, I've made this rabbit, which will receive the bottom of the tray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just as with the edges on the countertop, I've mitered all the corners over at the power miter box, and now I'm attaching the edges with glue and some one inch brads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now before I install the shelf, I think I'll give everything a coat of sanding sealer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's a good choice for a first coat because it'll seal the pores in both the hardwood and the softwood. I'm gonna coat everything inside and out. It should dry in about 30 minutes or so. Then I'll take a look at it and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I'll put one more final coat of a good hard polyurethane to really protect it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The government wants to integrate all these individual behaviors or corporations' records.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, there is no final system being implemented. And from those experiments, we already see the possibility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now, uh, there is a project called Sharp Eyes, uh, which is putting camera on every major street and corner of every village in China, uh, meaning everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Matching with the most advanced, uh, artificial intelligence algorithm, which they can actually use this data, real-time data, to pick up a face or pick up a action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, now we're talking. Ah, not the face! I'll give you another one, what do you think of that? Oh! Oh, he fights back. Welp, not gonna stop punching till we have to. Yeaah, what do you think of these fists- AAAAAH! You are beat up. Welp, Mazener, you win this round, but oh wait, I'm back up and around. And sure, I could make peace by bringing him a carnation. Or I could just go back to fighting. Have at thee!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, bad news. Nope. Wait, wait, wait. Getting kinda finicky at this point. I don't wanna fall off though, oh no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We made $150,000, right, in a year. That sounds great, right? That's like good money. We paid $100,000 in fuel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so right there, now I made $50,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I didn't really because, you know, you get an oil change every month, so it's $300 a month. You still have to do all the maintenance. We had a motor blowout, right? $13,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? I know, I mean, I choke up a little just thinking about it because it was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was 13,000 and we were off work for two weeks. So by the end of the year with that 150,000, by the end of the year, we'd made about 20, about $22,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you're down for a week in a truck, you still have to pay your bills. I have enough money in my checking account at all times to pay a month's worth of bills. That does not include my food. That doesn't include field trips from my son's school. My son and I just went to our yearly doctor appointment. I took, I took money out of my son's piggy bank to pay for it because it's not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not scheduled in. It's, it's not something that you can, you know, afford. I mean, like when, sorry. It's okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, kind of. Uhm, I asked him once, you know, and he laughed so hard. He said, no way will they ever have a truck that can drive itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we're one of the cities in the country that I think we were left behind in this recovery. I just, I don't know how we get on the bandwagon now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our factory has about 1.9 million square feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back in the 70s, that 1.9 million square feet had about 7,500 UAW automotive workers making middle class wage with decent benefits and able to send their kids to college and do all the things that the middle class families should be able to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With automation, there would probably be about 700 United Auto Workers. Uhm, that's a dramatic change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Automation is definitely taking away a lot of jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how they buy cars. I don't know how they buy sandwiches. I don't know how they go to the grocery store. They definitely don't pay taxes with Search the Infrastructure. So you don't have the sheriffs and the police and the firemen and anybody else that supports the city is gone because there's no tax base. Robots don't pay taxes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I increase productivity through automation, I lose jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jobs go away and I don't care what the robot manufacturers say. You aren't replacing those 10 production people that that robot is now doing that job with 10 people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can increase productivity to a level to stay competitive with the global market. That's what they're trying to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These were left over from our suggestion drive that we did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm scared. Uhm, I'm gonna be quite honest with you. I worry about the future of not just this country, but the entire globe. If we continue to go in an automated system, what are we gonna do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I've got a group of people at the top that are making all the money and I don't have anybody in the middle that can support a family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So do we have to go to the point where we crash to come back? And in this case,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The automation is already going to be there, so I don't know how you come back. I'm really worried about where this, where this leads us in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think with this adaptive technology, I'm excited to use that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm Norm Averill. Welcome to the New Yankee Workshop, where today we're going to build this wheelbarrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For instance, it has removable sides, an old idea that makes the wheelbarrow a much more versatile tool. Yet we've installed a modern pneumatic tire which allows it to carry heavy loads and roll smoothly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we never realized how important the wheelbarrow was in New England history until we made a visit to the Eric Sloan Museum in Kent, Connecticut. That's next, right here on the New Yankee Workshop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you any idea what it's like for someone who appreciates tools as much as I do to be in a place like this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're in the Eric Sloan Museum in Kent Connecticut. He was a famous artist, writer, and as you can see, collector of tools. There's so many things to look at, but today I want to show you his wheelbarrow collection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over here in the corner is probably the largest wheelbarrow I've ever seen. About six and a half feet long. And can you imagine the size of the payload that'll fit in that box?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or even better than that, can you imagine what it might be like to try to lift it and push it around?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eric Sloan is buried here. His ashes sit beneath this piece of granite that is inscribed with the epitaph that he himself wrote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now over here are the other two wheelbarrows. The first one is a little unusual. It's a convertible model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could use it with this cradle for corn stalks or long material or you could remove the cradle and install these side panels and a front piece much like the one I showed you inside for different types of cargo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now over here is a really old wheelbarrow. This is an apple picking wheelbarrow. And Sloan actually used this in some of his illustrations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you could buy this wheelbarrow from Montgomery Ward for $2.69. I think we've got some good inspiration visiting here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only did we look at old wheelbarrows, but I thought it would be useful to look at some modern versions, like this contractor's wheelbarrow, commercial wheelbarrow, that's four-sided and really meant to carry semi-liquids like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Candles. And most importantly, this pneumatic tire. It works pretty well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So after looking at all the features of the antique wheelbarrows and the modern, here's what we came up with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A wheelbarrow made mostly out of oak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And some metal hardware that I fabricated right here in the shop. And it incorporates the pneumatic tire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, you won't mix any concrete in this, but you will be able to carry a fair sized load. And the sides are removable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can carry larger items like bale of peat moss or hay. And it'll also hold a fair amount of firewood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the thing that I really like about this wheelbarrow, compared to most of its commercial cousins, is that it's pretty to look at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if you'd like to build an exact copy of the wheelbarrow, a measured drawing and a materials list is available. And you'll hear more about that before this program ends. I'd also like to take a moment to talk about shop safety. Be sure to read, understand, and follow all the safety rules that come with your power tools.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knowing how to use your power tools properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And remember this, there is no more important safety rule than to wear these safety glasses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now to get started on this project, the first thing that I did is using the materials list that comes with the plan, I cut all the pieces of oak that I needed for the wheelbarrow and they're to approximate sizes. Now I'm ready to start fine tuning all the parts and we'll start with this lawn piece which is for the handles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at the very front end of the handle, there's a slight angle. This is not 90 degrees. It's 84 degrees. And that angled cut is best made at the Power Miter Box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That takes care of the handles for now. Now this next piece right here, shorter piece, is to go across the front of the two handles. And the ends need to be cut at a 96 degree angle. Now I'm not gonna change anything at the miter box. Leave it where it's set and trim one end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've laid out my front piece for this little rabbit right here. And now I've set my table saw to six degrees to make the cross cuts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make the rip cuts that I need. And for 3 quarter inch stock this little toggle clamp works fine. But for thicker material,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now while I'm at the table saw, I want to make a groove on the inside of this front piece for a threaded rod that really secures everything together. And I'll do that at the table saw just using the blade, making a couple passes, and moving the fence. I suppose I could set up a dado head, but this is just as quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now for the legs, and I'll cut both legs out of this blank. The legs are slightly tapered, a little bit wider at the top than they are at the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So to cut those, I'll use my homemade tapering jig, which has an infinite number of selections. I've already adjusted it for the taper I want and set the rip fence in the right position. Just gonna leave the line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next thing to do is to cut the legs at the top where it meets the handle. That's gonna be 15 degrees. So we'll do that over at the miter box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's talk about some of the connections. Where the leg meets the handle. Where the strut meets the handle. Where the strut meets the leg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where this cross brace laps over itself and where it ties into the leg, all those joints are a form of a lap joint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the best way to remove the material to make the lap joint is to use the radial arm saw, which is set up with the stack dado head cutter. By changing the angle and the height of the saw, we can make all the cuts that we need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I've clamped the pieces together here loosely to show you what happens at the cross brace for the legs. Because the handles get wider at the back and because the leg tips back slightly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cross brace doesn't sit flat against it like this. It actually sits at a slight angle. That complicates things a little bit because I can't make just a straight notch in the leg. I need it


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Angled notch. So to do that, I made a couple jigs to help me at the radio arm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first jig is this piece, which is simply cut at a six degree angle, and that corresponds to the flare of the handles. Now if I put the leg blank on that, I still have a problem. Because the leg is tapered, it's too low down at this end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I made another piece which is a wedge that goes from nothing to a half inch. And if I slip that under the leg blank, now this top edge is parallel to the table. When I run the radial arm through, I'll have a dado that's a little bit deeper on the back side here than it is on the front, which is exactly what I want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the pieces for the cross brace passed by one another, I want to make a half lap joint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a matter of a flat angled notch. No special jigs needed here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, now before I do any assembly, there's still a few more things I want to do to the handle pieces. I've attached these little pine blocks because right along this line I need a half round hole for the axle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in order to guide the bit so it has something to go into, this block will help me with that. Now over here I also want to drill a quarter inch hole for the threaded rod that ties the front together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now over here at the drill press, I've tilted the table six degrees and installed this straight edge clamp as a guide. I'm gonna bore a hole about an inch or so deep for that axle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the straight edge clamp reinstalled on the table closest to me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm ready to drill the hole in the other handle for the axle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same angle on the drill press table, drill the quarter inch hole for that threaded rod.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using a little template made out of poster board to lay out the grips at the end of the handles. Then I'll rough them out on the bandsaw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm just gonna take a little bit off of each side of the handles in the area of the grip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well a 3 quarter inch round over bit set up in my router makes this stuff a lot easier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now I'm ready to start assembling the frame. And all the joints will be secured with a little bit of construction adhesive in either screws or carriage bolts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're real nice to drive. These happen to be stainless steel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now one more carriage vault, right in the center of the crossbow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here are all the parts I need for my wheel mechanism, and I got them all at my local hardware store. First, the pneumatic tire, which is really sold as a replacement for the contractor's wheelbarrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for an axle, I bought some solid round stock, 5 eighths of an inch in diameter, and it fits just right. I was lucky. It fits just right in these hardened bushings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I needed some spacers, so I picked up some 3 quarter inch electrical conduit and made a couple spacers that slip onto each side of the wheel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason I have these little spacers is to stop the wheel from moving side to side and I notched it over the rail so that it won't spin and actually drill through the wood. I also bought some flat stock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This happens to be galvanized, which means it won't rust, which is a good idea, and I cut some short pieces to hold everything in place. The bar sits over the bushing and the axle, and I'll bolt it all down with some little lag screws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now you can start to see what happens as I tighten the legs. The strap bends around the axle, securing it in place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the frame's built, and I think it's time to call it a day. We can easily finish it up tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good morning. We'll get started today by cutting some pieces of oak. Four pieces in all that will make up the frame for the bottom of the tray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's slightly tapered, it gets narrower at the front. Now over here at the prototype you can see that the corners of the frame are joined with a simple half-lap joint that I'll make over at the radial arm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using a little bit of construction adhesive at all the joints. And then I'm gonna nail them together, all four corners. Let's go to the next step.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm using a 3 eighths inch rabbiting bit to make the rabbit. They'll have to make a few passes to get it to the right depth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The plywood that I'm using for the base of the tray is known as MDO plywood. It actually has a paper surface on it. It's very tough and durable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some construction adhesive and some stainless steel screws will hold the plywood in place and actually give this frame a lot of strength.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted the sides of my wheelbarrow to flare out. And that means that the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The easiest way to do that is over on the jointer. I've tipped the fence to 10 degrees and I'll just run it through a couple times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These holes that I drill in the corners of the tray frame for the carriage bolts that are going to hold it all together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And finally the bolts that join the corners of the tray frame. Had I put them in any earlier, they would have interfered with the base of the router and the joiner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this little piece of oak is a wedge that I ripped on my table saw, which I had set at 25 degrees. And it will establish the angle for the front of the wheelbarrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've just milled a couple oak channels and what they do is hold the front of the tray in place. There's one at the top and there's one at the bottom. Now the one on the bottom


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I've clamped the lower channel in place and now I'm going to attach the front with a couple screws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These strips of oak with a little dado cut in the middle are to really conceal the threaded rod which is going to keep the sides of the wheel bow from falling off. It fits into the channels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna put a screw at the top so that it won't pop out. The screw head later is covered by the metal brace at the front of the wheelbarrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boy, I'll tell you, this old machinist vice really comes in handy trying to bend this flat stock to make the little braces for the front of the wheelbarrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna be a little bit of trial and error, but I'll get them shaped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that takes care of the front braces. Now I can start working on the sides. They're pieces of 1x10 oak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if I slip it in here and you look down here, you can see that because the side is flared, it doesn't sit flat on the bottom. So I'm going to bevel the bottom edge at 10 degrees using my jointer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used my bevel gauge to set my radial arm saw for the cut along the front of each side piece. It works out to be about 25 degrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the sides come with two cleats. They both act as stiffeners, but the one at the back is a little bit longer and it sticks down because it's actually a stake that fits in a little metal bracket. That's what I'm gonna make next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that takes care of the brackets. Now, what do you think we should use for a finish on this? Oak outside. Guess I better think about that for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it took me a long time to decide what to finish our old-fashioned wheelbarrow with. I was afraid that if I used a urethane or a varnish that it would chip after a while and then the wood would be exposed to moisture. Same thing would happen with paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I did recall years ago a method of preserving wooden ladders, and that was to put on coats of boiled linseed oil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what I'm doing here is putting on a couple coats now, and then I'll put a coat on every year or so as needed. But you have to make sure to use the boiled oil, otherwise it will never dry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now that a couple coats of oil have dried on our wheelbarrow,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It almost looks too attractive to put to work, but believe me, it'll take a lot of abuse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we'll know that one by Thursday. Today's Betto Bowl is brought to us by Bet Rivers. It's a Today Bet, so you can bet on this using the Bet Rivers Online Sportsbook because that is the place to be for every single game.

[Assistant] No, his run grade was down last year, his pass rush grade from PFF was way up, but historically Tomlinson has been very good against the run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vikings as a team were horrendous against the run. As an entire team, which brought almost everybody on that unit side of the great, er, great on that side of the ball down significantly. Because as a collective unit, they were horrendous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Awesome, if you guys don't follow this stuff, he's awesome. He identified him to go as a guy in free agency, the Browns, that he thought Barry would fall in love with because the measurables, the RAS score, the pass rush win rate, fit exactly what Barry liked.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they haven't got to those deals yet. They've only officially restructured Watson. And with the JJ3 cut, it gave them about 20, between 22, 25-ish million. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You add the 14 million for Tomlinson, the 6 million guaranteed for Oboe, and then the Poach it's re-signing at about 6 million. That's about the space they have open already, but they can open another 25 to 30-ish depending on the restructures to Teller, Cooper, Shub, or else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. Can I add one more name to that list? Absolutely. I want to see a guy that we haven't talked about. He came on my radar about two days ago. He's not a day one guy, probably not even a day two guy, but Chris Wormley, the defensive tackle from Pittsburgh. He was top 10 in the league against the run as far as interior defensive lineman goes last year. I think he'd fit really nicely next to Tomlinson because he does have a little pass rush upside too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like Oke and Jobe, he does know the division. He played on both Baltimore and Pittsburgh.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll start with the first one and we'll talk about the Bears in general here before we get to the rest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, no. No one's getting into mine, so I'm not worried about it. Yea, Jason's is way more valuable than Jay's in breaking news situations. No doubt. If someone's gonna go through the Rolodex...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What'd you guys overall though? The Bears yesterday, they spent out a ton of money on Edmonds. They were the first to make a move. They brought in linebacker TJ Edwards. So they re up, revamped that entire linebacker core. They gave 33 million to Nate Davis, the guard on top of the trade they made earlier with the first overall pick. Didn't they get DJ Moore? And they got DJ Moore in that trade. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Question for you guys, based on that, so we saw


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike White got 8 million a year last year. This morning, Tyler, uh, Taylor Heinecke got 10 million from the Falcons to help Gage and bring up Desmond Ritter who they drafted in the second round last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my guy. I covered him for four years at A&M. Awesome dude. I'm gonna get him on at some point, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a really hard time processing defenses quickly in college. I can't imagine after not playing for two and a half years now in the NFL that that has expediated to a point where he's going to be able to- Is that a word? Yea, expediate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's going to rock it. Those are great deep ball. So if we want to see Stefanski chuck it deep, which we haven't seen a lot yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Open up the playbook, but I'm not sold on Kalen Mond, even though he's my guy. Love you, Kalen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steve Becker just gave us the answer, it's Nick Poles. Ugh, stay away from him, my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's our 12 o'clock hour, which means it's time to tell you guys about Colleague Racing, which is the official sponsor of the noon hour of the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. It's also the official NASCAR team of Northeast Ohio. And guys, it's time to bring on a debut guest on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. It's Kaylee Griffin of Valley Sports Cabs. What's up, Kaylee?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just want to remind everybody that it is the noon hour of the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show and that means we are sponsored by Collegue Racing. Collegue Racing, not just the sponsor of UCSS, it is also Ohio's official NASCAR team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, disappointing bot purposely didn't put that on the rundown to support us, but unfortunately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show is brought to us by Colleague Racing. Colleague Racing, your official Northeast Ohio NASCAR team. We'll do a racing report at the end of this show, but I got a free agency question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, those team Israel hats are fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember only community posts for $4.99 a month to get that overtime video where Jason just unhinges after he pees. He pees before every overtime. Not everyone, but I will today. He will today. That is the coach's tier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Less than 5 bucks a month, less than 60 bucks a year. It gets the overtime videos, member shoutouts, discount codes, merch. You can text with Jason when he's not in the bathroom for select calves games and much more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The free option, just hit that like button, hit that subscribe button. We're trying to get to 25,000 subscribers by our one year anniversary on May 9th. If you could help us out, that is much appreciated. But let's talk a little football, guys. Let's get back to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First, Jacoby Myers, first free agent wide receiver off the board this morning. 33 million, 21 guaranteed to the Vegas Raiders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is now the tone setter for the free agency wide receiver market. Right. Do you think that helps or hurts the Browns in their pursuit of a veteran receiver in free agency? Love it. I love it. I don't want any of the free agency. Yeah, I was going to say that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm with Bull. I think he was offered $133 for three, turned it down, but saying, look, I could do this on my own. That's what they already offered me. I want more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And William Bryron won the race at the end of the day. So a solid showing from colleague racing and her guys, but what's next for the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Atlanta next Sunday, 3pm. That's a super speedway, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns free agency here. It is day two. We talked about some receivers. We all talked about defensive tackles, how they want to shore up that line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Safety though, with Jesse Bates gone, got 16 million, we all agree, probably a little too pricey. How would you feel about Chauncey Gardner-Johnson being still in play for the Browns on day two? No, he's gonna make 12 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Congratulations on making it to the end of the YouTube video. Why not celebrate by clicking the subscribe button? You earned it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's uh, it's so hard to have to acknowledge it, cause it's so painful to talk about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But obviously we got, we got the diagnosis and uhm, that was it man. My whole life ended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just, you know, at first it was just, uh, it's too hard to talk about, man. Basically, they just said, uhm, that it wasn't great and so we just took it day by day and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My sisters, my mom, my dad, my parents, my wife's family, they all pulled their kids out of school and, uh, we all moved and we lived at CHLA and we just had the best doctors and God, thank you Jesus Christ, God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's weird, man. Uh, I'm not okay. My wife honestly, when this all started, I became...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The strength to somehow pull us and lift us and to be positive and to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when, when they got it out and the chemo was done and, and we were, they said, we did it, it's good, he's okay. I fell. I just, I just fell. And my wife picks me up now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, there's, there's hope and treatments and there's medicines that haven't been discovered and will be discovered because of you. Because of you and you think you're one little person who can't change but all of us can completely, completely make


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, make that huge difference. And uh, if you do it and you save just one little person, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have barcodes in somebody's home doors to identify what kind of citizen that he is. What we're talking about is collective punishment of an ethnic group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only that, the Chinese government has been promoting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its methods, its technology, uh, it is, uh, to other countries, uh, namely Pakistan, Venezuela, Sudan, and others to utilize to squelch political resentment or prevent a political upheaval in their various societies.

[Assistant] ...is the author of the book, The New Yankee Workshop, which is available in bookstores and libraries nationwide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So while you can stack all of these things up on a table, that doesn't mean that they're going to move and he has to be okay with that. So as long as he knows who he is, I think then then whatever happens happens because the reality is he's getting ready to set the precedent for the environment of the league going forward, you know, representing himself, doing it the way that he did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can't go into this expecting him to get, you know, the red carpet laid out for him. He's not going to have resistance or his values not going to be challenged. He's just going to have to stand on it. And, uh, you know, hopefully that works out in his favor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, which helped me a lot, um, and, and we worked well with this was our versatility, his ability to see what ha- what he has at his disposal and build a defense that complements that. So we started off in a single high defense, you know, where it put a lot of pressure on the corners, but gave us, you know, we were really good against the run and really solid in the middle of the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think you're on to it. It's just keeping the, the homegrown talent staying in New Jersey. I think if you look at my, my class alone, uh, the 2005, um, Jersey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially because, you know, both of them were the first in those franchises' history. So to be able to bring, like, that first championship to a city is something special, especially to two cities that are as attached to their football team as New Orleans and Philadelphia is. So, you know, I think,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are two unique fan bases. I think if you want to look at like overall, just the, the, the hype and probably the buildup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Philly is a fun place to win a Super Bowl then, uh, but New Orleans is not bad either, especially when Mardi Gras was right off the heels of the Super Bowl win. So that celebration was like no other. So I think, you know, for me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was very, that was my rookie year for the, uh, one of the saints where I was more of a, you know, a contributor and kind of a, I was watching these things unfold. Whereas in Philadelphia, you know, I was frontline, a captain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think unscathed is probably a light way of putting it. I think Colin was probably the only one who really sacrificed his, his livelihood. You know, his job was really affected by what he did. Everybody else, you know, either continued their career with kind of, you know, some eyes on them. But for me, I think,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, one of the things that helped me was I was in an organization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're winning, uh, Jeff Laurie is the team owner who, uh, created an environment where he allowed us to speak our mind and use our platform. So we were able to go a little bit further than other people. And it wasn't just me. I was surrounded by, you know, Chris Longs, Toy Smiths, the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're shell-shocked from then on. You're going to play a soft zone and make sure that they think and dunk their way. And if there's anything that we've seen Kansas City able to do is tear apart zones, especially when they have a little bit of time. And I think, you know, I know to my surprise, Patrick Mahomes had way more time in the pocket than I anticipated coming into this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think a big season, you know, is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not hard to do when you're Michael Thomas, right? We've seen him be able to just take off. I think the biggest question mark to if he can have another season is can he stay on the field for an entire season? And that's just been really the hard part about the last few years is we haven't gotten a complete season from him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think when we get a complete season from him, everybody expects for him to be the Michael Thomas that we've seen. You know, his work ethic, his abilities have not changed over those years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, and the quickest way that I can try to answer these things is that one, um, players have to realize that they have the power to, to get guaranteed contracts if they want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the NBA got it because players banned together and decided they weren't going to take contracts that weren't guaranteed. It's not in their collective bargaining agreement. They didn't negotiate for it. They just took it and that's what players can do. So that's just on that when it comes to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think unfortunately that's really the narrative for a lot of guys. You know, the first contract, no matter where you come from, what color you are, what your background is, we're just really not prepared to deal with, you know, that amount of assets and things going on while we're still trying to professionally excel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, but eventually you learn. And so I think the biggest thing that I can tell athletes coming up now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is collect, is to talk to each other, to invest with each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, group economics is something that the ownership does. It's something that people with money do all the time. They share information. They share money. They co-invest that way. They limit their risk and they get into more different things. But if you go into an NFL locker room, most of the time talking about money is taboo. It's something that we don't talk about when we lose money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I've talked to guys when they're ready for it, you know, it comes with education and experience. Again, I'm able to talk about it because I've played long enough to make those mistakes and be able to recover from them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're trying to educate guys who are literally two years away from retirement the second they come in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a whole, the dynamics are way different, you know, and then the range of, you know, even economics and the status, you got a bare minimum player next to, you know, somebody making, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think it comes with uhm, you know, for me, it took about two seasons with, with Jim. The first one, you know, I thought he, when he first met me, I told him I wanted to play the nickel. I was probably 215 pounds, you know, and he didn't, he wasn't really familiar with my game and he just looked at me and said I was too heavy to play the nickel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know me move and be able to do things and understanding my process and how much, you know, uh, film I watched, how much preparation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's when you can really have like that, that collaboration where players are having input and more ownership in the defense. Uh, coordinators are able to set them up and put them in positions because players can tell you, hey, what they're good at, what matchups they're feeling good about, what leverage they need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and you can, you know, better suit and put them in positions to play fast and keep it simple. And he's been somebody who, you know, I think, uh, is open to that kind of dialogue and relationships and every great defense that I've studied that I've been a part of has always had that ability to take one to two other players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if a linebacker goes down, you're the next person up, your safety goes down, next person up, corner goes down, you stay on the field and that makes you more valuable than, you know, your corner who you know you're going to lose for a game or two throughout the year. And he may only, you know, he may only show up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 75% of those games, but you got a guy that you can always put in positions to dominate, you know, a third receiver to dominate a tight end or running back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think if anything, you've at least got the relationship. Uhm, but to your point, you've


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and obviously fit the defense. Um, so yeah, I think if I'm Jim, obviously I'm looking right there in Philadelphia to see if I can feel, you know, avoid to add some depth on that D line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And quite frankly, obviously, you know where I lean. And I think even, but if you talk about longevity, I think, you know, that list goes on and on, uh, for decades. It wasn't just the last 10, 20, even 30 years for a house that we've been putting DBs out, uh, like a factory for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I, uh, I gave up, uh, cheese a long time ago. So I've been real weird with my pizzas. I get it with no cheese, but I mean, I was always a Stelton, uh, Stel, it's a pizzeria on Stelton road, um, Piscataway, just close to, close to the neighborhood. That was the closest one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, yeaah, the first time was, was similar to that. I think the parade ride was maybe, maybe


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, that's, I think, you know, our concern for the lab, we've been spoiled, you know, getting really close to these natties and thinking about the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not used to being on that. It's been a while since we've been on this end of it. Uhm, and, uh, that's gotta change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we can't get past the team up north, then we got bigger problems. Mike, were you interested in coaching?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, they put in a lot of time, uhm, and, and then take a lot of time away from their family. And I think that's really the antithesis of what I'm trying to do right now. But I do, I do know that I have, you know, an affinity for the game. I've got a ton of knowledge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think the reaction is, was the, my normal reaction to any team that I see make moves like that. Uh, this is a team that's desperate to win and is, is, is going for it, right? They're not shy about it and not gonna, you know, pull any punches. Um, which is fine. I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the expectations are going to be unbelievably high under Sean. And I think even now we're glorifying maybe what we even saw from him, you know, in Houston. I thought he's, you know, is definitely a quarterback who can lead your team, especially when you build things around him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna have to see a lot of those other things develop, um, and, and, and that comes with building around him. That comes with being on a system that keeps him protected, keeps him in good situations and also the development from his own, uh, self as a, as a player. And I think that's just yet to be seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you for being on the show. This is great. So good to see you again. Congratulations on everything that you've been doing. I honestly, when I saw that you were getting into movies, I thought maybe that was the end of John Cena, the WWE superstar, but you show no signs of stopping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, uh, I'm enjoying myself, man. You know, I, um, I-I always loved you on, uh, WWE, and I-I remember when I-when I met John in person, when I met you for the first time, I was at the MTV Awards, and I was sitting next to you at the table, and you know, you're sitting around people, there's people you meet all the time in this business, but I turned and I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't talk about that time. We don't talk about that time. We don't speak about that time. But that's what this book is about. John Cena has written a book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] John Cena wrote a book in my head, it was always gonna be about something that involved lifting weights or working out. But this is an inspirational book and it's a kids book and it's really great. It's called Elbow Grease and it's a story of a little monster truck who is in a family of monster trucks and this little dude gets laughed at because he's a small monster truck and he's electric. And you grew up in a family of brothers, were you the little one?

[Assistant] Would the correct answer be to hand over the information in order to comply with local laws?

[Assistant] Are you open to putting on your play sheet next year just as a reminder? You know Matt Nagy has BU, uh, you should just have run the damn ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about this for analytics? Teams that run the ball more when at a higher rate in the NFL than teams that run the ball less. That's not true. That's not true.

[Assistant] Yes, that's what Yolanda would say when a police officer runs out of the precinct, demands to open the trunk of her car. Yep, this is looking around, not seeing much in here. I found a baseball bat and a briefcase. Did I take those items? Okay, well, all the things look to be in order, have a ticket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, okay, I get it now. Out of the way, everybody. Official police business. Oh, here we are. Found it. Easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't, you don't want to be that dude. You don't want to be like, yo. No, you don't. Uhm, uhm, yeaah. You don't. This is what I do. This, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I was still like, I was a manager over like 50 people. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did they know you at work as G-Boys or Garrett? Well, they called me G-Boys there too. Oh, okay. But I've made it a point that I never really talked about it. And then about a year went past and people used to come up to me and be like, hold on. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They figured it out. You, you, you do the barber shop, don't you? And then they would be mad. That you didn't tell them. That you didn't tell them. You'd be like, I'm like, but this is a whole different ball game. Like this ain't, this, what we do here has nothing to do with the radio. And I don't want my people to get too comfortable. No, that's a good point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on, hold on. I argue here. I argue here that the burden of ghosting is higher on a man's part than a woman's part. I don't think so. A woman that is not interested in you, she won't tell you. She should. I'm not interested. Well, she should. It's bad on her too.

[Assistant] The Browns will pursue any of Deshaun Watson's, uh, older teammates, uh, uh, Cooks or, or, um, you know, DeAndre Hopkins. Do you think you- Or even Hunter Renfro from college. Hunter Renfro, yea, from college. Do you think they'll pursue any of those guys, uh, and try to upgrade their receiver position?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's one or the same. I think it's an impossible question to answer. It's one or the same. I know, it's the chicken or the egg. I'll look at it like this. I'll continue to go back over 30 years. I can even tell you, they have one line, they have one decent linebacker, De'Quil Jackson. Yeah, we got, we got Chris back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you got guys that ain't even clear to perform. To practice. To practice. Like, you can't, like, this is the most pivotal time. We're learning the defense, getting people together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anthony Walker, I like Anthony Walker. He's cool. He's not a playmaker. He's a guy. He's a Jag. He's just a guy. That's right. He put in there. We watching these other teams. Well, he does bring leadership too. Everybody raved about the leadership you brought. Hey, leadership don't get ball carriers on the ground. You can't, you can't Captain Planet nobody on the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Captain Kirk, lay down for me. No, I need you to make plays. J.O.K. is there. He's fast. Let's see if Schwartz can work with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I need a, I need a ballplayer in the middle. A guy, just go back and watch. I'm in the midst of my all 22 vacations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See how many times a ball carrier gets hit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and takes the defender on a ride. Yup. For three to four yards. Yup. They hit him three yards, carry him two more yards, five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe Schwartz will be the defensive whisperer, like Callahan is the OL whisperer. Listen, I was in my bag, I was doing some research. That's scary. And, uh, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This dude Jim Schwartz was breaking down some stuff that I ain't never really heard of. Like, you know me, I, I, listen, he was breaking it down in a way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I'ma give you a tip because I'ma make a, I'ma make a video of this. But, Jim Schwartz was doing a seminar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they talking about, he goes back to when they had Javon Curse. And he's saying Javon Curse was the, like one of the first guys that was getting upfield doing his thing as a pass rusher. He said nobody could block him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, but when we was playing teams, uhm, like Rich Gannon, you know, he got back then with the Raiders, he said, he was killing the guy. He was killing the tackle. He graded out of the 95%, but they was getting rid of the ball. He said, when I went back, I was charting the plays. Point one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 1.2 seconds, 1.5 seconds. He said, he's killing the guy, but we're never gonna get home. So he said, what we had to do, what we started doing is, we started rushing a spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather than rushing. Where are the players standing? Where it's at. He said, so we would, we would take our little graph.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we would have dots, right? We'd put a dot on wherever he would throw the ball. He said we would all, then he got to a point where we had so many dots, we put it in the spreadsheet. Oh wow. And so now, when you, when you look at his cluster, you're looking at where he's throwing the ball at. So then he says, we rushed the spots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get your hands up. He said, we don't that old thing, like gap integrity. We got two ends that's going to contain and two defensive tackles. Let's get them. Get a field. He said, nah, I don't want to do that. He said to be truthful. We only contain it to one side of the field. I was like, what are you talking about? He said, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, well, if I already know that the quarterbacks say, for instance, a Michael Vick,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We always wanted Michael Vick rolling, rolling to his right instead of his left because he couldn't throw the ball. He said, if you're a right-handed quarterback, we always told our guy that we wanted to get our defensive end on two-way goals. So you hit a move, we're not even worried about you saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And because we know you're going to run to that spot, you're not going to pay attention to the backside defensive end who will come and get a strip sack. And I thought that was the, I had never heard nothing like that in my life, that these dudes are rushing to specific parts of the field rather than the traditional gap integrity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said in the league, guys are looking to get you and hurt you downfield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys that, real quarterbacks don't want to scramble for 10 because they understand that 10 is not going to do anything. We'll just do it again. It just recessed the pattern. Sure. We want, they want the big plays. So we don't have to contain him. He'll run it out there, but we're running to a spot. He said some people, we don't even want a sack. We don't want sacks for that person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're talking about two individual players. You're missing the force for the trees. The comment is, when you're talking about defensive schemes, it's how you go about stopping certain quarterbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason why it's difficult for running quarterbacks to continue to win Super Bowls is because defensive coordinators will give you that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe Burrow is different from Hertz, you know why? Because Joe Burrow is the guy that is looking downfield to hit the big plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So watch this, watch this, when you talk about Jalen Hurts, what's the one, when you, when you put the ball in your quarterback's hands and he's running around a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now hold on, pause. Yes. Before y'all get to it. Now look, boo, your premise is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wrong. That Jalen Hurts played better than the Holmes. Everybody knows that. He did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me give it to y'all. Yeah. Spit facts, brother. Patrick Mahomes, 21 to 27. Okay. 182, three touchdowns, no interceptions, no sacks, QBR of 96.4. No fumbles. No fumbles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you look at it, he had 304 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, I, I brought up that I, he, Jim Schwartz was doing something that I never heard somebody say, right? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was a high level con- conversation about the way defensive coordinators go about game planning specific quarterbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so when you hear things as a defensive end, and you always have contain, contain, contain, you rush this point, you rush this point, rush integrity. All those things are ingrained. But I thought it was fascinating that he came at it a different approach. He changed the wheel. He said, look, it's not about rushing to a point or a regular scheme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all about where we think he's gonna be at on the field. And sometimes when you look on the field and there are players running for yards, say Jalen Hurts or Lamar Jackson for 80 yards, if those guys aren't scoring touchdowns with that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the long play, the long game, they love that. Make them do it eight times. Do it again, eight yards. Yep. Do it again, 10 yards. Because it puts you in a, you can turn a ball over, it gets your quarterback hit, and you still minimize, you minimize the amount of possessions in a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What he was saying was, they're getting the ball, the key is getting sacks and pressure. If they're throwing the ball quickly, you can't get pressure. If the quarterback's running, you're not getting pressure. He's trying to figure out the best way to affect the quarterback


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey man, listen man, well first and foremost, you gotta become a member of UCSS because you don't get no conversations like that. We go off the top of our head, but plus,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what we got, man. The 199 tier, you get your loyalty badges, the custom emoji badges. I need some more badges. We need to come up with a plan to get me some more emojis, man, because you know that's the most favorite emoji in the chat. Shout out to the chat. Members Only Community Post, we do that as well.

[Assistant] The big money. $4.99, that's for the big spenders. And you know what? You get all the starter tier perks. Overtime videos, member shoutouts, we be doin' overtime. Sometimes our overtime is better than our last 15 minutes of the regular show. I ain't wanna tell nobody, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When did Jose become better than him? Because I thought at the time, Frankie was better. Well, it's interesting, Frankie's are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I look at it like this, it's kind of fascinating because when you look at Francisco Lindor you don't even really, you don't hear his name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was popular, he was the most popular player when he was a year. Most popular, it's almost like we don't, like in retrospect, we don't, we don't, I don't wanna say show him any love, but it's almost like we don't mention his name anymore. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's just like, he just disappeared. Like, so it is hard because before, a player like Tony, people was like, man, you know, people like Cliff Lee, people like C.C. Sebastian, those guys, people were upset when they left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Francisco was, was different. Didn't he, didn't he get moved during COVID? No. Or was it prior to it? 19?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, do you feel like, do you feel like there is a price limit for any player?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's like, listen, maybe I want to watch some bonus content when I'm at the house. Anthony watches it every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was Earl. No, Ty, it was Tyvis last week. Oh, it was Tyvis here, right? Tyvis got everybody sick. Tyvis got Earl sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would be like talking all the time. Like I didn't know how to shut it. I was a little talkative little girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, like 8th grade. Ghetto boys, if that makes sense. Got tattoos, look rough, you know, do bad shit. I was always looking kind of ugly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mainly underground rappers. I never liked the mainstream people, like always listening to like underground people. And mainly you like the area, Sacramento area, the underground rappers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, when I was little, like, we listened to, I don't know if y'all know about LiveWire, like, we listened to them. Local Sacramento rappers, I don't recall. Well, Sacramento ain't the Bay Area, and like, it's like an hour or two away, but we got our own slang that nobody really understands. That's what makes it different. Like, I'ma say some shit, y'all not gonna know what the fuck I'm talking about, but people in my area gonna know exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I'm saying. You hear me though? Like, you're not gonna know what the fuck I'm talking about. You know, buried people, they be like, y'all lie to me. That means like, okay. But see, I don't be like, the fuck, they talking jigger jabber and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, yeaah, but it's like weird because like we as Sacramento people, we aren't all like Bay Area platforms, but like a Bay Area person will be quick to be like, they're not the Bay Area, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So just be like, I don't know if people be mad in the bay, like I don't know. So, it do kinda be a rivalry. Well, ever since I was little,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I was singing at first and then I couldn't talk shit so I started rapping. It was like some little Facebook posts. I was rapping. It was going viral.


[User] Please transcribe this text

I was like, oh yea people. I like made my first song and then I was, I seen I had got like, it was easy for me so then I just like learned my way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You really gotta put money into yourself and hellish shit, so that's what I did. Just hustling for that shit. That was like a hard part. It was originally from, I was in a gang. I don't know, cause everybody like in jail and it's a new gang now. It got turned into something else. It was called Stunna Gang. I ain't gonna say what it is now, cause the gang it is now.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We good. I mean, cause you could turn the drug dealer into a stockbroker. You can't turn the stockbroker into a drug dealer unless they started off as a drug dealer. So like, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I just got into Lil' Kim because I keep getting compared to her. I like her music now that I listen to it. I really turn my cell phone. I get my self hype, so yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I see it on Instagram because you won't see everything on Instagram. Probably like they see our beef on here.

[Assistant] Uhm, I like Nicki Minaj's old stuff, and then I like some of Cardi B's songs, so it would be like, leveled out. Uh, Future. He's my favorite right now. Kodak Black, cool. Lil Baby, too. He different. He got some shit going on. I'm doing more singing stuff. I'm showing my other talents. Yeah, ain't nobody seen it. That's the stuff I'm working on right now. Yeah. But see, right now,

[Assistant] I don't want to sound like I'm reading to you. There's a reason we read children bedtime stories where we want them to fall asleep. Right. Because the boring cadence and rhythm of reading puts them to sleep. So I don't want to do that with news.

[Assistant] And that might have been your daily intake. So it's almost like a three day fast. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Congratulations. Thanks. Now keep the momentum. Stay positive. You've got it this time. How's your hunger, your cravings?

[Assistant] Whatever chemical that is that the body naturally produces to tell you, oh cowboy, you've had enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do too. I think he's gonna really take advantage of the, uh, of the, uh, bit larger bases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things that we'll see strategically from the pitchers is they won't throw over on that second time. Well, that's probably true. They won't. So now it's kind of a cat and mouse game, whether or not the runner thinks he's going to waste that last throw over.

[Assistant] pretty at bat. But these aren't small changes. No. I watched some baseball this weekend. We're gonna get to it. This is a fundamental change in the game. Huge. I like it. So far it's working and we'll talk, like you said, much more about that. We're also gonna talk Top First Basements. We got to number five on Friday and then we had to stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to talk about we saw their floor and the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's a wide gap between the two. Also, uhm, let's start with the Cleveland Browns because I was a little...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to say disappointed, but I think maybe surprised because you didn't think that the Browns would go after Bates. But according to an ESPN free agent predictor,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biggest free agent move, signing the Bengals free agent safety Jesse Bates. And I want to start with you because obviously you know this player better than anyone being a Bengals fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that's the big move that they make in free agency, I think that's a miss. Well, it's a miss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if Schwartz thinks it is. After looking at every single play. It's a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've always looked at the position safety. It's like the most aptly named position of all of football players. Because it is the safety net. It can hide a lot of the defense's deficiencies. And from that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so it's almost a watch. It's a watch there. But I don't think you can get out of all of his money. No, you probably can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he is 32. Let me ask you this, of all the positions on the defensive side, because that was your area of specialty, which one is it easiest to coach up? Which position group?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I, I had someone tell me it's linebacker, and if that's true,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Schwartz could have the biggest impact on the pieces we already have. I think the pieces we have at Linebacker are workable. I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've seen it in Taki Taki. We definitely have seen it with JOK. We haven't seen it consistently and often times that's coaching. So if that, that is true and I want your opinion, if the linebacking core is the easiest group to coach up, Schwartz could have the biggest impact there with the pieces we already have. No?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've gotta make some moves in free agency. I was hoping like you, I was hoping that would be a wide receiver or a defensive tackle. But there are other avenues of acquiring talent. You can do it in trade. Sure. And at this point,
