[Assistant] The problem though is, as you know, Jay, baseball players are very superstitious. That's true. Yea, that's true. And so like, he had a good year. Don't, don't mess with success. I can't mess with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is absurd. Putting Julio Rodriguez ahead of Turner, Betts and Aronado is also absurd. Julio Rodriguez, if I'm starting a franchise, yeaah, he's 22 years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I would have Jose ahead of both of those guys. I would also have Jose ahead of Trey Turner personally. I'm fine with Mookie Betts being ahead. I mean, Mookie and Jose, it's a, it's a coin toss. Same thing with Aronado and, and, uh, Jose is a coin toss as well. Uh, what's the next couple of guys before Jose?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next is Sandy Al. Sandy Al Contra, I think you spelled it wrong there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, did you? Okay. It's pronounced Alcantara, even though it looks like Alcantara. Uh, Goldschmidt ahead of Ramirez is fine. Alcantara, is it, had a great year last year, but that was his first great year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would have Ramirez ahead of four of the guys ahead of him, so that would move him up to what? Nine, I think. Yeaah. You know what I'm saying. Ramirez is 79.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 100%. The thing with Ramirez is and why he gets sometimes put, listen, it's no insult to be the 13th best player according to a list. No. Not at all. However, the reason Jose gets ignored a little on these


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You talked about the shiny new toy. Some of these other guys are a little more volatile in where they are year to year. That's true. None of those guys are ever bad. Jose is consistently here. Right. Jose is never the best player in a year, but he's always a top five player in a year. Where some of these other guys are one and nine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's 3. So that's 3 out of 5. Turner's American, Betts is American. Aronado's American. He played for TSA. Aronado's American too. So that's 6 out of 10. 6 out of 10. Now let's go to the next core. Goldschmidt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to do the game notes for the Batavia Muck Dogs every day. Wow. You'd write them up? Yep. Wow. Holy cow. I was the only team in A-Ball that like had intricate notes on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it depends on what your payroll is, but if you make it, you can afford it. But the bottom line is the Angels have spent, they have a good big payroll, they've spent stupidly besides those two guys. Anthony Rendon was a terrible guy. Rendon, they paid him a ton of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They overpaid for that. I think they could be in contention for wild card this year. I think it's possible their pitching is at least on paper is better than it's been in the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'll be, yeaah, yeaah, or the Angels, or the, uh, Angels, Mets maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, or, like us against the world and what, you know, insert team name here is Mafia is basically the same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By that definition. But some of the, a lack of original thought, yes, but some of those are not overused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where they didn't win a championship, and yet you were like, that was a great season, I enjoyed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Jason Giambi hit the home run, they had that winning streak to get to the place. They went nuts. It wasn't even that many people there, but I was jumping up as if I'd been rooting for the Indians my whole life. We were going crazy. Everybody's walking on the stadium, high-fiving after that game. That was a fun year. I really enjoyed it even though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think Donovan Mitchell, in my opinion,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think people make too big a deal of people not voting for people because they're from Cleveland. I don't buy that. In fact, this idea that people vote for New York people doesn't make any sense because I think there's more people that hate New York than hate Cleveland or Milwaukee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Bush gonna show up, give me Bobby Wagner. You have one more spot. I mean, I don't see how Anthony Schwartz makes the team. My goodness, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got a big weekend, uh, conference tournaments and college hoops. The thing about college basketball in general, the problem, especially in radio, the problem always in talking about college basketball on the radio, when I was like, people only give a crap about their team and their bracket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. So like, locally you could do it, but like, when I would do, I used to do a show for CBS Sports Radio on the weekends, and during NCAA tournament time, I wouldn't really talk a lot about the tournament because it's like, if you're a Kansas fan, you don't give a crap about Ohio State, and vice versa, and nobody wants to hear about your bracket, like they don't want to hear about your fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ohio State is playing today, guys, and that takes us to our bet. Go Bucs. Uh, obviously, I got bad news for Ohio State fans. Oh, that's nice. Don't do the vibe like that. I'm betting on the Bucs, guys, and my picks have been awful lately. So I don't know that I'm bringing you any luck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And check out my podcast today. I'm, I'm, well, I haven't tweeted it out yet, but it'll be out today. Uh, it's a, it's my national podcast today, the bullpen with Adam the bull in which I crap on Odell Beckham Jr, Aaron Rogers and Yankees GM Ryan Gantz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, nobody gotta pass today. My bet today is Ohio State minus, uh, four. Plus four, excuse me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would always have a couple of random white dudes on the bench. And Georgetown, when I was a kid, was awesome, as you and I were talking about before the show. And you always knew the game was over when the random white dudes came on the court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait a second. What pick number do the Bucks have? Nineteen? Nineteen. And what pick is the Browns? Forty? Forty-two next year, second and a fourth. Okay, so you're saying, think about what you're saying here. Yes, I am. That the Buccaneers are going to trade down 25 spots roughly. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My beef with Tyves' is, I think Yannick and Gonkway is not very good. I think he's overrated. But I think he's not going to break the bank either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but they, it's not about being savvy. They all have this chart of what these drafts. They screw up on the trade, on the trades of players, sure. Nobody's trading a second round pick for two second round picks for a first round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because mine's got like three pages worth of stuff. Oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harris and Bryant, am I paying him two, am I locking up two million on the cap? He can't play, goodbye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, here we go. First, here's my trade. Alright, I'm getting Brandon Cooks for Houston. I got a third round pick and a fourth round pick. I'm a fourth round picks next year. Now, maybe I gotta give up a second, third round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they would. But I'll give up more if I have to. If I have to give up two thirds, if I have to give up two threes and a five, I'll do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very productive. I like guys that are, I don't care what they ran in the freaking 40. I want to know, did they play good football? And these guys play football. All these guys. I like Parker Washington.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Galvin Tomlinson, okay, one of the best run stuffing defensive tackles out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sheldon Rankins, also. I got all three of my linemen that I got there. Uh, Sheldon Rankins is from the Jets, Dalvin Tomlinson from the Chargers, and Arden Key from Jacksonville. All three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are gonna make about 24-25 million. So instead of spending 18-20 on hard grave,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mercedes Lewis, Mercedes. Now, I got rid of that scrub Harrison Bryant. I do need another tight end. All right, like 50. He's an old guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's an old guy, but this guy's been a winner. He's got great hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mercedes. I love them. Now, Mercedes-Lewis. Let's go to linebacker. I need a veteran to lead my linebacking corps. I got J.O.K. I got Taki Taki. I'm drafting Ivan Pace in the middle. I thought y'all was moving on for J.O.K.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Is it Kendrick's middle line? Kendrick's? No, I meant, I gotta


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, for Vegas, I think he played for Vegas last year. Vegas last year, correct. Who's just a good solid safety, had a really nice, I think he was on the Patriots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been a good contributor. He's not a star, but I can get him for two or three million dollars. I don't need a star.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just know he had a good PFF grade. Okay. Alright. I was looking for a cheap safety with a good PFF grade. Okay. And I came up with him. I don't know much about him, but I know he's been productive. And finally, I'm not hit, I am taken apart, so I, to me, I want my offense to be dynamic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got the running back, I ain't messing with Nick Chubb. I know there's all the rumors out there, I'm not messing with Nick Chubb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got, look at my top five wide receivers now. I got Amari Cooper, I got Brandon Cooks, I got Darius Slayton, who one problem with him is he gets injured, but now I got good depth so he doesn't miss his time on my right. I got DPJ and Parker Washington. That is amazing depth of wide receivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll take Dalvin Tomlinson out. He's probably going to make 10 million. Yea, I saw 10-11 was his. Yea, somewhere around there. So I would take Dalvin Tomlinson out, and then I might, if I did that, I might draft a defensive tackle at 42 instead of a defensive end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would change it up, but I could, I would take Tomlinson out, that would be my move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but I, I love the idea of bringing in an Arden Key who's a good, I think a very good number to end and then drafting a guy because I want to rope these good teams with a good path rushes. They have all these guys. They're rotating guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, wait a second. Did you start the poll before mine was released? Anthony, when did you start the poll?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, what's his name? Uh, oh my god, the comedian who just did the show last week. Chris Rock. Chris Rock, did anybody see his? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Sounds good. Alright, let's get to Bubba Ventrone. Bubba Ventrone, we gotta do it. So Bubba Ventrone, of course, uh, used to be Ray. Apparently he was called Bubba the whole time he was here. I was calling him Ray. That's his name. But everyone calls him Bubba apparently, so now we're just calling him Bubba. Sounds like a weird name for a coach. He says he doesn't like Raymond.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was thinking about this junkyard dog who was, who don't know people, he was, he's black, was one of the few black wrestlers at the time. He would come out with a chain around his neck. A lot of stuff they did. I'm thinking about, like at the time I was a kid, I didn't really think anything of it, but now I'm like, oh my God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, this is why we can have nice things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did say, I don't know if we have this clip, but he did say, uh, do we have what he said about cribs and about, uh, Phil Dawson?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that they're not going to become coaches necessarily. I mean, uh, but, but he said he wanted to bring them both here. Phil Dawson looked like he checked out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both guys they brought in, Schwartz and Ventrone, have a track record of success. Now not here, they gotta do it here, I get it. But I feel more confident being excited about guys that have proven their good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's reasonable to give Schwartz and Venturone the benefit of the doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know what, Brad, I would think instead of doing the travel like this where you play Miami two games, why not have like, I know they do road trips when they go on the west coast. Yeah, but why not do clusters? I think that makes more sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Mike Ferren of MLB Network Radio is going to join us in about a minute or two. We'll look forward to that. So, so you just said, you said you shouldn't, shouldn't get distracted by it. Have you been to Miami?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How are you? Mike, how you doing? Let me tell you something. I am so snobby when it comes to baseball. I think I know everything about baseball. Mike Farron, I've said this to him before, this is 100% accurate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but he knows more about baseball than anybody I've ever met, including most former players, but certainly amongst non-players. He knows every player in the minors. He knows every player in the majors. He, he has got it locked out. His show with Jim Duquette is awesome. I listened all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the second two years, this guy named Frank Klebe, who never, he was not a player. He was actually an amateur boxer. Part of my job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my job for home games I would do like on field promotions and you know PR stuff and then my job was to bring two cases of beer to frankly be in the locker room because nobody drinks beer like baseball players, Mike. Is that, is that not correct? Especially managers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Mike, you say three and a half hours. But now, hopefully, games will not be as long, right? So far in spring training, the average game through this time last year is down 25 minutes, I believe. I thought, I thought, I believe I saw yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is, what is your take on this and do you think the change with the clock


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and the other rules, but especially the clock, will, will dramatically change the time once we get to the regular season, or will it be not as big a gap?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, I love, I agree with you, Mike, 100% because I hate when fans and fellow media members...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Passes to owners for not spending money. I hate that. And I ripped the Dolans for not spending money. The one thing I will credit the Dolans for is they hire good people and outside of the budget having a limit,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the force of a low penalty, it's amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How good a front office we look at, I look at the as the models for all ma do you look at those two


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's no doubt about it. And I mean, like one guy, Ahmed Rosario is going to be a free agent at the end of the year. And I know, we know they have Gabriel Arias and they have Rockio and they have all these great prospects, but Ahmed Rosario is one of the most important guys in this locker room. Like I already know he's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they don't. Now you're not going to trade them probably because you're going to be a contender. But it's a shame. Like he's a guy. He's not getting 30 million a year. Like I don't know what he's going to get exactly but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They should be able to pay Almond Rosario, I think. What do you, what do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's funny that you say 5 and 75 because I literally said yesterday, look at the Andrew Benatendi contract. That's what you pay Ahmed Rosari, which I think was 5 for 75 or something like that. Maybe it was 80. I don't know exactly, but somewhere in that, in that neck of the woods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of you, you mentioned, uh, you know, it's funny because they added Bell, they added Zanino. I think the lineup's pretty good. I look at this team and I'm like, I know they got all this good young pitching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get a veteran, because I don't trust Savalli and I don't trust Police Act. And I want Quantrill to be my four in the playoffs. I love McKenzie, I love Bieber. I want them to go get a veteran third starter for the postseason. Uh, do you see that as something they could use and might do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike, last thing real quick, we've got 15 seconds. I have the third pick in my fantasy baseball draft. Do I take Jose Ramirez or Trey Turner? I have no idea. Come on, Mike!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, great stuff from Mike who, uh, he, he thinks the Guardians do not need a pitcher. He thinks Gavin Williams is, who's one of their top pitching prospects is going to burst on the scene later in the season. Do we have Jay with us? We do have Jay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have a good trip back. We'll see you on Monday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just the fact that he said I'm not giving up more than Cooper, her cook shows he's, you know, at least three quarters ignoramus. So let's move on. This next one's very specific.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they don't have the 40-something pick if they traded the second round pick with Gnu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fan questions in overtime. We'll see you there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've completely changed my mind. Well, I'm so glad to hear that Michael, because... Beautiful. Beautiful! I know how much you are, you know, in tune with, um, charitable causes. In High Wycombe, where I live... I have no idea what he's about to say. I'm, I'm, I'm comparing charitable events.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not hardly anything. They pay something. I want him more than Phillips. Dion Jones is like my size. Here's my rule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I'm going to bring him back. Listen, Deon Jones, is he that good? No. Um, you just even screaming all off season. They got to upgrade linebacker. Now you want to bring back Deon. I'm about to get three more linebackers too. That's like saying you only got one candy bar G Bush. You only want one on four, four candy bars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, obviously he's a very good fit. The guys trust him. The guys love him. Safanski knows how to call plays for him in case Deshaun Watson goes down. He played better than we thought. He was, you know, he's really durable. Uhm, I like Jacobi Brissett. I like, uh, I like him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he stinks, I don't want him. You almost was, for real, for real though, like I wouldn't be mad at that, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, what's the dude from uh, Williams is the last good one I seen. Played for Buffalo? Well, JJ Watt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, no, Taven, Brian, I'm sorry. I mean, we've decided we're anti-white defensive tackles. We like tweeners, J.J. Martin, and maybe, uh, Long, Long, I like the, you know. I'm out. I'm out. All right. Yeah, no, Taven. I'm out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't buy it. Uh, you just gotta be really, really... You gotta, you gotta be good. If you're good, you can play. You gotta be really fast. Tight end!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep her cut. I'm done with Kareem on it. Yeah. Yeah. Hold on. I mean my face out. Sorry, big dog. You're gonna get some money, but not no money over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think he's gonna be no starter. I think he's a backup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you know, like Michael Jenkins, he told us a little tip, but he's like, oh, when you're a corner and you make money, he was like, yeah, you're going to miss three or four games and then possibly, I'm like, wow, that's crazy. You just admitted that. I keep him as the fourth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though they're spending an absurd amount on the offensive line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't run across no top five centers and then just get rid of them because why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a sweet golfers alignment to me. I'm keeping him. And then I got Harris coming back and I can put him in one of the guards too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm, I'm rooting for Michael Dunn. Since he signs you up, we gonna give you that. We gonna give you that. Listen, but you'll come- And his wife, so, so his wife, is it from here originally?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want him back. Plus he's coming off an injury. I don't even know if he's going to be back 100% yet, but I will take him. I will take him back. I need one more linebacker though. Two injury prone. I want like a whole reset at that position. Dang, that's a lot of people to reset. All right. All right. Two more. Speaking of linebackers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kelly for the last two years. Oh, yeah, he's a running back for the 40s running back with a 40s number. He will make the squad this year. The Ernest Johnson. We're going to give you all of your reps and your 401k to my man. I want the Ernest back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually endorse your idea. Somebody gonna weed each other out. I'm sorry. I cannot go in with Taki Taki getting hurt and Phillips hurt and then we get these Jews off the street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, give me a hard grave and plus I don't like all these hyphen dames.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got married once, we don't, one person's name was on the birth certificate, dog. I'm not hyphenating none of that, man. Give me, give me Hargraves. I like him. He's a, he's a much more of a every down type player. The Browns keep trying to get back into this mold where they want to look at corners. You ever go to the grocery store, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't got no chicken, you have no poultry, you have none of this stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you keep going to get these stakes. Why do the Browns, the Browns love corners? They love DBs. They, they good at drafting DBs. They got 96 DBs. All the DBs don't even want to play the DB positions. Yeah. And they still interested in them. I know you are. This is great. We don't need it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It tells you exactly what you need to know when you look at the production as a safety. The Browns had, the two top tacklers were Delpy and Johnson. Right. And we would find times that they didn't even want to tackle nobody. So what does that mean about you? Well, that's a bad sign for a team. That's a huge shut down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on, let's see if I can sort that out real quick. That's another problem. Your linebackers is always out. JLK is always injured. And Anthony Walker's been injured a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, he was looking nasty out there with them gray sleeves underneath, bro. What do you got them gray sleeves on the white jerseys, Kevin Love? Do we have a picture of that? Good gracious, he's looking nasty in his jersey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he came out there, he did what he, he ran from three point line to three point line. And the crazy part about it is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's nasty. Oh my god. What are you wearing that? That ain't it. That's like, uh, one of the dads playing wreck ball, rocky river.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got a corduroy shirt under there, bro. Button up. How did they not notice that? That is horrible. By the way, how did they not notice Donovan Mitchell was guarding him on switches and he got eight points. The Cavs were like, you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forget it, we'll just have Donovan guard you so he can get as much rest on defense as possible so he can be ready in the fourth quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, from what I saw, Kevin Love give you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the player of the basketball is going to speed up. They're going to ratchet that speed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're not going to be giving you every call either. So a lot of the stuff Kevin Love do well, like take charges, they might not even honor that. Like, hey bro, you're going to have to stop laying around on the ground all the time and play some defense. That might be out of it. And if he ain't hitting a three point shot, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drew Hahn says, uh, not emotional, but super appreciative. I like that one. Uh, Abdul Smith says, nah son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love lost his step and he was slow and was getting picked on by opposing teams. I imagine you sounding that like in a New York accent. Nah son, get him up outta here. Uh, Kenny Miller says Dave Cowens was MVP in 73, had two rings in the Hall of Fame, not sure what that has to do with Kevin Lovett, just read it though.

[Assistant] Drama City TV Cleese says, nah, the 10 man is washed up.

[Assistant] Uhm, and, uh, Brody's bottom line says, nah, they didn't go enough. Cut Lopez too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, that was the point, dawg. Sometimes somebody gotta pull you aside if like, eh big dawg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the end of the road that Boyz II Men right now for you, bro. And he was, he, it was Boyz II Men as well. He was on Bendy Me too. This is, I don't know why he feels like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is, he is closer to Adonis Haslam than he is any of the other playing guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who do you guys think in what sport do you fall off the quickest? Because I was going to say basketball players to me like, you see Gilbert Arenas and he's one of the best and then he's just done. You see like, uh, Penny Hardaway or, or Mario Steidemeyer, done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Granger. Danny Granger. Danny Granger. Granger was getting 25. And then it was like, Granger's hurt. Here's this new guy named Paul George. He's the new Granger. Bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is definitely, he is definitely a shooter. He is definitely a goon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'm all into nice colors. I don't like how their jersey numbers don't match, right? The jersey numbers on the back look bad, bro. One is a pink one, some of them could be a yellow one, some of them could be a blue one. It's crazy, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even when they had Lebron, even when they were better, like they just never go down there and win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's not even a good one for, like, the Miami, Miami, the U, don't got good crowds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know why. Maybe we're hard. Maybe we are hard on them. Because I was going to ask Jason this. When I watch the national guys,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The national guys marvel at the way the Cavs play defense. They're like number three in three points given up. They're like number like, they don't allow points to the paint. They're number one defensive team overall.

[Assistant] And I know a lot of teams do this. I just don't like to see just the over and over high pick and roll when the game is tight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now granted, it takes, you know, really good offensive teams to remove and cut and run regular offense in the last four minutes of a tight game. I get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but yeaah, it's just, you know, sometimes they run too much high pick and roll. And for me, it just comes down to it. Can a Coral and Stevens hit enough corner threes to make them honest or make them pay enough times to score enough points?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is back when people used to know who baseball players were. Everyone knew who Vlad Guerrero was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like Rizzo should have been on this list because he destroyed, maybe it was just one series or every time he got up Rizzo was hitting home runs or hitting doubles against us and then he got hits last year too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't, I can't get over, uh, you know, the upgraded, uh, Barry Bonds. Come on, man. That Angel Series, the upgrades that he gave himself. This dude was gotta be. Barry Bonds was too clutch. Barry Bonds, Barry Bonds, Barry Bonds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's crazy. I look at it like this, you know, the guardians of today, the team that would scare me and I look at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're up, uh, a game on the Yankees and it's like, you watch these games and the whole time you're like, can we get enough runs? Can we get enough runs? Can we get enough runs? And they get up and they might be a down two or three runs or they might be not batting well the whole game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it possible to win a World Series if you are a hit to contact team?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you, how do you stop the slander in the grocery stores? I know when people see you they say, Where's the money at, Matt?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are they doing with the money? Do you have a list of notes that you give people? Have the Dolans giving you a bullet point presentation? This is what you need to hit here and here and get out the self checkout line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You mentioned I met Rosario. What is his long out-term, you know, long-term appeal with the Guardians? Because they keep, we got all these in middle infields. I know. And the guy, you know, was a top prospect. He looks like he's found a home at shortstop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, like, you know, like during the season...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terrible at basketball. Terrible. When your son, when your son, like how many times were you missing layups when you played, like you was blowing the bunnies? I could barely get off the ground. I got like a, a negative vertical. Now, now I will say this Big Nuggets, I will tell you this. When you are talking about a layup,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless you go through the layup line and do it like the layup line, you do have a chance of missing a layup. If you were flat-footed on the box outside of the key,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, now here's the thing, here's the thing, alright, what if it's, what if it's, like say for instance, they give you seven and five but you gotta make a left hand layup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Left hand layups bro. By far. Man listen, you gotta jump off your right foot though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seven, I will say, now listen, the average NBA player shoots what behind the three point line? What, 35%?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 35 is good. But that's not, but if those guys were just shooting in practice, they'd be like 90%. I mean, but still, it's still a 77% chance that these dudes ain't gon' hit it. No, not in a situation like this where they're standing there and defending you. And then what I did, I did say with McNuggets, I said, now you can either do it, or you can have a player do it for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, for definitely layup. I definitely got a layup. That's a free 50k. Uhm, I thought about it really long and hard. I mean, I shot about 73% from the free throw line in high school. That's still not good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, hold on, hold on. 50k put in a, in a nominal account. Nah. With a 3% interest. 500k makes, I gotta go for at least a 500k. But, but you, what did you start with?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? Why would I get rid of him out of all the people? Like we, first of all, like you don't have to run anything for him. He's an energy guy. He's a really cool dude in a locker room. People love him. He's intelligent. He's a, he's a really low maintenance, a grade A defender like him and Evan Mobley. Like you, people don't understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that Evan Mobley and Jared Allen are, can play together, they got light temperaments, they might be out in South Beach. I can tell you two people they ain't out in South Beach tonight. Jared Allen and Evan Mobley, they at home playing Yuca or something. You believe that, Tracy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they bowling. They doing bowling. Uh, they doing stuff like indoor putt, putt, bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but we'd be rich with embezzlement. I mean, if there was no murders, like, would our population explode? Yes. We're already overpopulated anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he, yeaah, he definitely had a really good point. Thanos indiscriminately killed people. Now, Thanos, now here's the thing. Who would you kill by the way? Thanos had all the Christians. I have a list. I have a solid list too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I just wish, I wish things that I can, on people like, that I'm not gonna get charged for like, I'd be wishing like sometimes if I don't like you, I wish you'd come out and your tires is flat and somebody put sugar in your gas tank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kinda was. Kinda was. That was, that's two shots right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going house hunting and they got all these little, little, I'm like, why you got that hot tub?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are the songs that white people get a hold to. Living on a prayer. Oh my god, uh, uh, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jimmy Buffett, oh my god. I don't like Jimmy Buffett. Sweet Caroline. Don't you do it. Sweet, stop it. Don't you do it. We don't fight. I know. I will lose, but we will fight. Everybody. Caroline. I like Sweet Caroline. No, no, no. That was my jam. That is what you planned. 145, you're looking for somebody to take home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 145 Sweet Caroline, you like, give me one beer and one Sex on the Beach drink, I'ma slam knees, and I'm on this floor, and I'm looking to make out. Look, that's the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's called Low by Flowrider. You heard it. Oh, I hate that song. Oh, thank you. It's horrible. That song's ass. There's a couple of songs that they're gonna play. They play California Love at every wedding. California...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He went in, he went in like, it was just like, he was just telling how he really feel. He really, really feel like, I'm not, I can't put, listen, I can't put hands on nobody as a 6 foot 5, 200, no, 300 plus pound black man. First of all, they might die on accident. Why'd you die? I just smacked you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm not doing that. Why'd you die? Like, second of all, like, they might arrest you on spot. Like, there's, like, these are rich black people, so they can, they can gauge whether or not you wanna, yea, I'm gonna press charges or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they got it, they got district attorneys out here that press charges for people. Like, yeah, we're going to get him up off the books. Yeah, come on, Will. They got him, Will, Will's done. I don't know if he can come back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm Norm Abram. Welcome to the New Yankee Workshop. But today we're going to build this beautiful shaker chair. The idea came from a visit to the Hancock Shaker Village. That's next, right here on the New Yankee Workshop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you are really interested in seeing how the Shakers lived and worked, and taking a look at some of their pieces of furniture, then you really owe it to yourself to visit the Hancock Shaker Village, just outside of Pittsfield, Massachusetts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now here in the brick dwelling are some of the most glorious examples of their craftsmanship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, to the outside world, the shakers were best known for their seeds and herbs, but right after that were their chairs. They were produced in factories and sold to the general public. And here's a few examples. This one has a beautiful tiger maple back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This next one is similar except that it has a more decorative finial at the top of the back post.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the curator tells me this is a very unusual chair because it has a tapered back slat. But this one over here is my personal favorite. It's just the right size. It's as light as a feather.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even though it appears to be very delicate, it is strong, yet elegant. Now I must admit that I've really been putting off adding a chair to our collection. But now that I've found the right one, the question is, can I duplicate this quality of craftsmanship?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long before I built my first shaker chair, this sign that hangs in the workshop was a daily reminder of the shaker chair building craft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope that they might find my version acceptable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For my first attempt at a chair, I'm pretty pleased with the results. It's light, it's very strong, and it's comfortable. Also,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With that characteristic shaker slant back that they used on their chairs, it's very elegant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now in my research I found that most shaker chairs were made from maple. But occasionally you would hear about other woods, like cherry. And that's what I chose because I'm going to build several of these to go with the trestle table that I built a few years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the seat is made from woven fabric tape, much like the shakers would have used.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's woven on both sides in between a foam pad. The tape we purchased at a store that specializes in shaker crafts. I'll show you how to weave the seat later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if you'd like to build a few of these for your dining room, a measure drawing and a materials list is available. And you'll hear more about that before this program ends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also wanna 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. Now to get started on our project today, I want to work on the rear slats. And as you can see, they're slightly curved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the shakers would have steamed the wood and bent it around a form. But since we don't have a steam box here at the shop yet, I'm gonna try a different approach. I'm gonna laminate two thin pieces of wood to make that curve. So I'm gonna start by taking this three quarter inch cherry and ripping an eighth of an inch off of each face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might have noticed how easily I cut through the cherry. The secret is in the blade. It's very sharp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has a thin curve, which means it doesn't have to remove a lot of wood, and it has an advanced tooth design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now here's the form that I'm going to use to bend those slats. It's just a piece of two and a quarter inch solid stock that I've band sawn to the shape that I need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now the arch that I actually want is about 5 eighths of an inch over the finished length of the piece, which is between these two lines. Now because I know that this piece is gonna spring back a little bit when I remove it from the clamps, I'm actually gonna bend it about 3 quarters of an inch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a couple of spring clamps to pull the top edge tightly together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll let this whole thing sit here and cook for a while and go to work on the lathe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is when a long bed lathe really pays off. The back leg, back rest portion of our chair is forty-two and three-quarters inches long. Now if you don't happen to have a long bed lathe, you might go down to your local high school or trade school and rent some time on theirs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I've done is mounted a blank in the lathe that's an inch and five-eighths thick and knocked off the corners over at the table saw. I've also made a layout stick. What that stick does is shows me where to mark the piece for the transition. Slight taper at the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From here to the bottom of the finial it's tapered and then of course detail lines for the finial itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first thing that I want to do is turn this blank round. But I'm going to start more or less in the middle and just turn a small section so I can attach this device which is a steady rest. It stops long thin pieces like this from whipping as they turn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now that it's more or less round, now I'll lay it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now with a little bit of fine sanding, I now have two pieces that are pretty good for the back of the chair. And since all the other parts of the chair are under three feet, I've installed my lathe duplicating attachment. All it really is, is a cutter up at the front end here, which moves in and out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also can be moved along the work by turning this wheel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And down at this end, there's a follower, which will ride up against the pattern, or the original. And when I built the prototype, I made one original of each part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now with this duplicator, the work is really fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The back post of the chair and the front leg require several holes for the seat stretchers and these lower rungs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm gonna start with this back post and drill the three holes that are along this side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you'll notice that these holes intersect the post at 95 degrees. The key to this whole project is a jig.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the shakers had jigs. Here's the one I've made. It's constructed from plywood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it has holes for the various rungs and stretchers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then up on this side, there's even slots to cut the mortises for the back slats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The inside square is an inch and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's so that it's just snug around the widest portion of the back slat. So I just slip it into place, let about an inch stick below the bottom, and take a couple shingles and just wedge it into place so it can't move. Now up on the other end, I've actually capped it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And put another piece of plywood with a hole just large enough to let the top come through. And you see these marks right here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are indicator marks. I want to key the post by putting a little pencil mark there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll keep coming back to that and turning it for various holes. Then I'll just wedge the top with a couple little pieces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to drill the holes for the lower rungs using a 9-16th brad point bit in my drill press. I've also tilted the table to 5 degrees and installed this straight edge clamp as a fence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've set the depth adjustment so the hole will go through the plywood and into the rung about three quarters of an inch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now with that first hole drilled, just to make sure nothing moves around, I'm gonna stick a piece of dowel in there. Now I know it won't move out of alignment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we can do the same operation to the other back post.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now I'm gonna switch to a 3 quarter inch bit for the stretcher holes. This time I'm using a Forstner bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either a forstner bit or a brad point is fine for any of these holes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next set of holes that I want to drill are for this back stretcher and back run. And if you look carefully, you'll see


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That this is not a 90 degree angle, it's a 100 degree angle. So I simply can't leave the piece in the jig.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just flip it and drill these side holes because that only gives me 90 degrees. So what I'm gonna do is pull the pin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is where that indicator mark comes in. And turn the piece 10 degrees, wedge it back in, and go to the drill press.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over here at the drill press, I readjusted the table so that it is now perpendicular to the bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I have this canted portion on the jig,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make the mortises for the slats. It won't sit perfectly flat on the table, so I'm using a piece of scrap wood as a spacer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I've now switched back to the nine sixteenths inch bit and I'll drill the hole for the lower back run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm ready to drill the holes on the front legs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this angle is now 85 degrees, not 95 degrees. It's the complementary angle. So I've built another jig, just like the one for the back post, except I've made it a little bit bigger, an inch and 5 eighths on the inside dimension because the front leg is a little bit fatter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've reset the drill press and tipped the table to five degrees and now I'm ready to drill the nine sixteenths holes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now I'll switch to a three quarter inch bit and drill the hole for the side stretcher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm ready to drill the holes for the front stretcher and rungs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you'll notice that the angle to the side is 80 degrees. The complementary angle to this angle, which was 100 degrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've set the post in the jig the same way. Rotation is slightly different. You'll note that the guide holes in the jigs are drilled 90 degrees to one another. On the post, I wanted the angle to open, so I rotated the stock to get a wider angle. On the leg, I want the angle smaller, so I'll rotate it to reduce the angle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that takes care of all the holes for the rungs and stretches. Now we'll make the mortises for the slats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mortises for the slats run along the center line of the post.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But because the slat is slightly curved, the mortise has to be cut in at an angle. And I've calculated that angle to be 8 degrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is equal to the angle of the wedge that I've attached to my jig. Now if you're worried about all these dimensions, if you choose this method of construction, the jig will be shown in the measured drawings. I'm gonna make the mortise using this quarter inch spiral bit and this guide collar. It slips into the pre-made slot and I'll just plunge the bit into the work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now I'm cutting out the slats with my jigsaw. And I laid out each piece with a paper pattern to show the form.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now all I have to do is smooth the edges with the drum sander, bevel them a little bit, and fit them in the mortises.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just a matter of taking a rasp and fine tuning each piece until it fits snugly in the mortise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now with any excess trimmed off the turnings, I'm now just sanding them smooth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now with a glue brush, some good carpenters glue, a sponge, a soft mallet, and some clamps, it's just a matter of putting everything together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well that takes care of the assembly. Now I think I'll let it set for a few hours and then I'll put a coat of Danish oil on. I have to do that before I can tape the seat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the finish on the chair, I'm using a Danish finish. I just rub it into the wood, leaving the natural wood show through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with this product I can put on a coat about every 30 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here's how I did the seat on the original prototype. I started with the dark colored tape, which is known as the warp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tacked it to the underside of one of the seat stretchers. And now the idea is to just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the idea is to sort of go over it a second time and pull these so that they're taut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not so much that you actually bow the stretches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that's nice and tight. Now with it turned over, I'm going to secure the end to the opposite stretcher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now I'm just taking a piece of one inch foam and sliding it in between the rows of fabric tape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now we're ready to start in with the lighter color, which is referred to as the woof, and we'll weave that top and bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I've pushed the center piece of tape off to the side. I'm going to tack on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lighter tape, and just slip it back over again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it's just a matter of going over, under, over, under, all the way around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now with all of the woof except the last three rows complete, I want to finish up these triangular corners which are part of the warp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I just use two short pieces that I weave through and then I'll tack in such a way that the tacks will be hidden. Run it over the top and weave the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well the woof ends up in the middle of the front stretcher. And I've tacked it in place and I'll just slip the other tape over it. And this chair is finished. And ready for some heavy duty sitting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, welcome back to Stoneblock, where in the last episode we...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty much did all of mechanism that we're gonna need for a while. Uhm, I do need mechanism to continue on to, I think it was psi next? But all I really need is atomic alloys, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the time being, I think mechanism's fine. So, I'm gonna start working on some of the other problems that I've got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and the first one that comes to mind is that a lot of the resources that I use pretty commonly, like quartz or gold or redstone is getting to be a problem now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's very, very energy intensive, especially when you get to the higher tiers, and especially put some upgrades into them. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I upgraded my energy setup slightly, I added like three more dynamos, and oh, I'm not even, I don't even have the flint and steel, the fire and the neither.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No wonder these weren't working. Upgraded this a little bit more. I put the Elite cables in here just for the extra transfer speed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this, this is enough to handle what I currently have at max capacity. It's not always going to be at max capacity, so I've got a bit of overflow there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if it'll be enough to run a void miner, but I can always turn it off if need be. So, yeah, what do I need for it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 20 structure panels, let's start with that. What does a structure panel need? Dissolution chamber, block of quartz, obsidian dust, and latex. I already have plenty of latex, so this shouldn't be too bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I can't turn it back. How about the obsidian dust? Ooh, I can make that in the enrichment chamber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh. Can I only do this one at a time? That's annoying. There we go, four structure panels. I'm just gonna have to do that for the rest of this now. There we go, that's the last of it. Ah, it gives me ten more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, from the small amount that I've looked into this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna need an assembler to be able to craft a lot of things. The memory programmer is part of the quest. Ohhh. Okay, they've changed it a bit then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so let's see this assembler. Oh right, I already got a crafting recipe for it. I already got crafting recipes for most of these. Ah crap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm running out of redstone. This is why I need this up and running now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is when we start needing lithorite. There we go, one flash memory. Now for the lithorite void miner. I have the recipe for this. It's kinda complicated. Good thing I didn't have to make this myself. There we go. Lithorite void miner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'll give me a bunch of the crystals as well, which I definitely need because, how many ender pearls? I've only got 14 ender pearls left. So, that's like 14 more illithrate crystals or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa, okay, I think I need the flash memory for the memory programmer. Mineral ore, metallic ore, gemstone ore, magical ore. I used to just mine all of these, but just slower. I'm not sure what the mineral ore gets me. And I'll definitely need the gemstone ore as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is like diamonds, emeralds, whatever. And I'm guessing the mineral ore is things like redstone, maybe glowstone. Hang on a minute. Multi-miners? I'm gonna just set this to crystal miner. And then this one to ore miner. I don't know what multi-miner does though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want it to mine, like, everything it can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think now I just make the multi-block. I definitely need the structure panels and I need a lot of these structure frames. Ah, this is where I, I need to reference what the multi-block actually is. Hang on a minute. Every, everything that I've been looking up says there's a GUI in here. Oh, wait, this will just build the multi-block? Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it doesn't remove the preview, I'm gonna have to do that myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thankfully the, like, ghost block things. So, I think I'm just gonna shove the void miner up the back here. Because it needs, if it's anything like it used to be, it needs access to bedrock. Or a void. Okay, I've got my small area up the back here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm just gonna, oh, not upside down. I'm just gonna grab some cobblestone for easy scaffolding blocks. So how big is this? Oh, it needs to go one higher. I'm gonna have to increase the roof of this as well. Okay, this seems to be about the right size.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it'll build it for me if I've got the right blocks? So now I just need to count how much of everything I need. So I'll need 20 structure frames. I'll need 20 of these null I- not 20, 4 of these null IOs. I have enough structure frames. And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I only need two null modifiers, but the quest calls for four, so. So, null modifier. I'll just make a recipe for that. There we go. And the null IO, same thing. So null modifier, I need four for the quest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I, uh, I need four for the structure, but I get one as a reward, so I'm gonna do three just to save on the structure frames. And then I'll get the structure panels back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does the stru- yep, the structure frame needs a structure panel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I need to make more of these. Well, I need 20 structure frames. Each one takes a lithrite interconnect. Sorry, each one takes one lithrite crystal. Geez. I might not have enough redstone for all of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I've got enough lithorite, so that's good. And we've got the obsidian plates. So then in this assembler... Oh, I have to do it one at a time. That's annoying. I make the redstone imbued obsidian plate, and then put that in with lithorite, and it makes a lithorite interconnect. Okay. This is gonna take a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there we go. That's all the literal interconnects. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me see, how many do I need here? I need 21 to be able to make all of the interconnects. So that means that I have to craft at a minimum 24. There we go, that's the rest of the structure panels. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I just need the 20 structure frames for the rest of the panels just in my inventory. Ah, that took not as long as I was expecting actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of it was just waiting for things to craft though. Because it takes a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There we go. 20 structure frames. So now I just tell it to break and then build the multi-block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think I need to get out of the way? Uhh, didn't look like it worked. Well, I'll put a lot of this in myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because for whatever reason it didn't work. Oh right, I need the, the laser stuff. I need the lens, the laser core and the laser lens holder. Laser lens holder and the two laser cores. So then I just put it in like that, I presume. Doesn't want to place itself. There we go. And it's got the thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I don't actually need a lens. I just need the lens holder. Sir?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that means it's done? Does it need a hole to bedrock? I'm just gonna connect it to power and see what happens. It's not getting any power. Does it have to be connected to the top? How do I give it the memory?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like that. Minable drops. Oh! That's different to what I thought. Or minor. Okay, yeah, that's what I was expecting. How do I give it energy? Oh, wait a minute, this connector doesn't have any power in it. That would do it. Why do I connect the power to this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it won't accept it until I dig the hole? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just gonna be digging this hole down for quite a while. Until I get to bedrock. There we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's bedrock. Now I just pillow my way back out, and it should be fine. Oh, now it's actually got a tick cost. One thousand. Still doesn't accept anything. Ohhh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, it works a little differently to what I remember. So in these null modifiers, I'm actually gonna move them to here. That should be the same as, like, rotating this. So then I need an FE input, and I need an item output.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I should have looked up what needs to be done before I do things. Okay, this is... Oh wait, no, hang on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is showing all the recipes. Tear Litherite. At least the item output's simple. There we go, item output. I think I might have exactly enough Litherite to make this. Litherite interconnect, malio, block of redstone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it not just two lithrate crystals? Oh no, it's two iron. And this should make me an FE input.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that should work. And I guess I can use the elite stuff like this. I think maybe I've got this in the wrong orientation. Oh, there's no laser. Is it that particular about things?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These go like there and they're not modifiers. So then I, I'll just put the cables in like this. I can hook it up like that. Okay. And then connect it to power and it, yeah, it seems to be working. It needs a thousand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, nope. Looks like I'm already getting some ores. Or did I have that before? Nope, it's definitely mining me some ores. It's just... very slow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The frequency modifier, that's the speed modifier. So this makes it faster, but it takes, hang on, what's the tier one? Huh? Frequency modifier. What's the no tier one? Ah, this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tealith's right, okay. Uh, does need a Lone's Daylight Crystal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do I get a Lon's Daylight crystal? I think that was from the, uh, where did I put the memory? From the crystal memory. The minewall drops. Yep, there's the Lon's Daylight crystal. 6.25%. Ugh, I need one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait no, I need two because I'm gonna put in two speed modifiers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Oh, and that's much more expensive per tick. Uh, that better not be draining my energy. It is draining, but very slowly. Well, I'll just do this until I get two Lon's Daylight crystals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is gonna be a while away. I'm also gonna need to leave it on the crystal to be able to get the erodium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause erodium is how I upgrade it to the next tier. But I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really need another tier, as long as it's mining enough, and as long as it gets me the resources that I need, I should be fine with a tier 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the only thing that happens when you upgrade it to the next tier, assuming it's the same as before, is it gets faster and it gets slightly more drops into the pool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course it gets more modifier slots. But I'm not sure I need that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well a tier 1 is usually more than enough. And I'll say the tier 2 is a bit bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By tier 6, I think it's like a 10 by 10 by 10 multi-block. It's huge. Is there any kind of lens I could put in to make it quicker? This looks like an empty lens. I don't know what the lens grinder does. And the quest book isn't very helpful with any of this. Well, I may as well make one. What else am I gonna do? Oh, okay, that's how you get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, so you can make it more likely to get a certain crystal. And then the lens, the coloured lenses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's just the colour of the resource that you'd want. I'm not too sure there's one for Lonsdaylight. I'm kinda interested to see what this one is. The lens focus in Varitech. Whatever. Oh, I need to put a crystal lens in there. Oh, I already got eroding crystals. Nice. Wait, how do I get a crystal lens? I dunno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I might just leave it as it stands. If I can figure out how to get a crystal lens, then I'll put some of those in, but this... this is fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I ended up making this much quicker than I thought I would, and at this point I'm just waiting to get Lon's Daylight to be able to upgrade it further. So what, should I do something else in the meantime? Maybe I can... set up power. Dielectric Paste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, uh, this is reminding me of Mystical Agriculture a bit. Okay, dielectric paste. What do I need? Advanced Crafting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vodka coal, got that. Clay, easy to get. Charcoal, easy to get. Blaze powder, got that. Ultimate control circuit. I can get that with relative ease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what seems to be the hard part is the advanced crafting table. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, I don't have redstone. My only income of redstone is from random witches spawning in the mob farm. And it's not enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this should be everything that I need to get an advanced crafting table. There we go, two basic crafting tables.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I'm gonna have to change my mechanical crafting setup a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and another black iron slate. So this should make me my advanced crafting table. There we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kinda slow because I don't have much of a gear ratio or whatever coming into this. But, there we go, advanced crafting table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That really wasn't that hard. I'll just plonk it down there. Maybe I could make the dielectric paste. I'll need four reinforced alloy. Okay, so then, I think it's refined obsidian? Refined obsidian dust. Oh, but I've got enriched obsidian and that works too. Oh, I think that's where all my redstone's been going. I need to get rid of that diamond in there somehow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now I'm out of diamond in there, and I've got a lot more reinforced alloy. So, how much? 80 millibuckets. How much do I need for one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, perfect. There we go, two atomic alloys. And there we go. Ultimate control circuit. I'll need four blaze powder. Four blocks of coal. Four charcoal. Oh, I've already got plenty. And I think the rest is just clay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, 12 clay. I should probably automate the production of clay as well, because I needed a lot more than I thought. Oh, that's why I haven't been able to get dust? It's only automatable in a pulveriser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's annoying. Yeah, I do have a lot of sand. I'll just do it manually then. I think some of my clay went into the nether portal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, it did. Now I got 12 clay. I got a massive lag spike going into the nether. So, this should be everything that I need to make dielectric paste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That sucks. Well, while I was doing that, let's see. Did I get any Lon's Day light? No, I did not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a lot of Lithraite and a lot of Iridium, but no Lone's Daylight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, while I waited, I made some more dielectric paste. Just so I could complete the quest. And I'm not going to be touching it for a little while. Cause this looks like a whole video's worth of stuff. Pretty much. Ohhh. Again, they take lava. They might be better than a, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatchamacallit, a magmatic dynamo then. I've been looking at ways to upgrade my power a bit, and the first one that I looked for was a big reactor, but that doesn't exist in this mod pack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, then I noticed that Mechanism has fission and fusion reactors, which I presume would function about the same way?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the fission reactors, it said it doesn't natively create power, it just creates heat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't know what to pump the heat into to turn into energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the fusion reactor, that's just really expensive. It takes atomic alloys and polonium pellets, and I don't even want to get started on this. Jeez. Nuclear waste? Okay, I need a fusion reactor anyway to make a fusion one. I'm not too sure that I'm gonna...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even start down this path, because it looks insanely complicated. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing that power has those generators of sorts that can accept lava, that might be a better way of doing it than the magmatic dynamos. But that's a little while down the line. I still haven't got anyone's daylight crystals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the chance? It's about a 60% chance for a lithrate crystal, 30% chance for a rhodium, and 6% chance for a lons daylight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then I would expect that for every 10 lithorite crystals, I'd get... Wait, no, that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that how it works? Yeaah. For every 10 Lithorite I get, I should expect 1 Lonsdale and 5 Aerodium as well. And that's not what I'm getting. So I've got 14 Lithorite, 7 Aerodium, that's about expected, and no Lonsdaleite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think all I've got left is to just kind of wait until I get Olan's Daylight Crystal, because everything else that I can think of doing would put me well over time for this video. So I think I might be done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I'm slightly under time. I might be able to edit in a way that I have a bit more of a video, but yeah, this is all I can do for a while. That isn't incredibly inconsequential and boring. Yeah, so I guess I'll leave the video here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We finished, well, no, we didn't finish, we started environmental tech, got the primary part of it, the void miner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we, we made the advanced crafting table to get some dielectric paste. More as a time killer than anything else. It was pretty much just the void miner. So yea. That's all we did this video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's still pretty monumental because avoid miner is a massive step forwards. Like, this is the primary part of any kind of mining automation that you get in modded Minecraft. That or automating the sieve setup upstairs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But from my experience they're pretty terrible. But the Void Miner is much better so I don't have to worry about that. So yea. Between videos I'll put the Lone's Daylight upgrade things in there. Probably just two speed upgrades. And I'll let it run for a long time to just get


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But ton of ores. I already have one redstone ore in there. Nice. And I might even change the processing recipes to accept ores instead of the chunks. But then what am I gonna do with the chunks? I dunno. I'll change it over once I've got more of one than the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So anyway, enough delay, that's the end of the video, bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This isn't good company to get grouped with. Jesus. Arizona, you go first. Oh, you want me to leave? No, tell me your thing. Oh, that. Yeah, a truck flip near Tucson, let out a bunch of nitric acid. Okay, now I want you to leave. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I crawl like a viper through these suburban streets.

[Assistant] For all my years conducting investigations on human rights abuses, I never forgot this young man who stand in front of tanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not only me never forgot. The world did not forget him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These other people are losers in the China's economic growth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the population of them are vast and they don't have a voice. They don't have anywhere to address them. They don't have a social mechanism to sort of advocate on their behalf.

[Assistant] At the end of last year, the Public Security Ministry declared the number of demonstrations were 74,000.

[Assistant] Asking me, asking my organization, where is him? Who is him? How is him now? But until now, today, I don't have an answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Power of that story is not getting weaker because of the time, because we don't know who he is. It's actually getting stronger. That ultimate spirit of a freedom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will last longer than the strength of tanks and machine guns. In a long frame of history.

[Assistant] It's the human freedom, courage, dignity will stay and prevail. That picture will testify that forever.

[Assistant] Like most things, add something else that I end up doing instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly though, looking back on it now, I don't- I don't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It should be a pretty easy fix, it's just I'm a little hesitant to crack it open and fuck with it. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, remember Time Squad? It's the combination you get from taking time travel, Mark Hamill, and Cartoon Network. It's also this very obscure memory I've kept with me for a long time that I am personally happy to scratch the itch of nostalgia for. Time Squad was an interesting idea of maintaining the course of history and fixing any problems with the timeline to keep the future as perfect as it is. Along the way, meeting historical figures from Abraham Lincoln to Leonardo da Vinci to George W. Bush?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that one specifically we'll talk about later. Running for a short-lived two seasons with 26 episodes, Time Squad premiered on Cartoon Network June 8th, 2001.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until the final episode on November 26, 2003. It was popular enough to pave the way for Uncharted 3's subway promotion in 2011 by doing something even better. And that's giving Time Squad themed toys within the kids' meals. I don't know why I felt I had to tell you that right now. I'm probably just hungry. Yeah, I'd go back in time for this. Good luck, jerk!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of time, I'd like to take some time today to thank this video's sponsor, Supernova by Hunt a Killer. Now, Supernova is a bit different from the usual Hunt a Killer crime-solving games, as they've shifted to a comic book-inspired sci-fi mystery. Not missing a moment when you start, you are now a member of the official Supernova fan club, where you are then reached out to by the creator of the series, revealing to you that the hero Supernova is actually his twin sister, whose real name is Halo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now he needs your help to find and save his sister. Here is this really cool Supernova box sent to me with everything I need to get solving this mystery. What's awesome is that, like all the previous mysteries and crime-solving games from Hunt a Killer, it's perfect to play with others to spice up a typical board game get-together. With Supernova and my love for sci-fi, this one is perfect for me especially to play over and over to uncover and learn everything about the lore. The action figure, the comic book, an actual cipher dial, this throwback lunchbox, a bunch of properly themed items that give


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an easy enough concept to get behind, and it sets in motion your expectations of what's to come. In the show, we follow around three time cops. Well, two time cops, and then one that may be breaking child labor laws. Buck, Larry 3000, and Otto.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An odd trio of a big buff, not so smart human, a smart but easily annoyed robot, and an orphan. We'll look into them individually shortly, but traveling back from the year 3000-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Correcting and maintaining the course of history actually mean in the case of this show specifically. Predominantly, it means traveling to major historical events, at least up until current history at the time of 2002, and that one time in the year 3000 and we're all looking forward to it. And no, that is not another Jonas Brothers reference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeah, we just don't really get into what happened between 2002 and a hundred million. Just seems like a whole lot was left out there. The show would focus on adventures through time between the time of the dinosaurs and the beginning of the 2000s with a plethora of famous artists, politicians, scientists, and more from their perspective time periods. Usually when we would find them, they'd be doing some wackier weird antics that make them out of sync with where the timeline would need them to be. And the time squad would need to set them back on the correct course. We don't want any branching timelines now, do we?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd have stuff like Abraham Lincoln trying to become a prankster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Action, historical events, and science fiction. Naturally, to overlook any issues in the timeline, the Time Trio have their base of operations within an orbiting satellite, which oddly enough serves as a contrast to the high-tech, well-organized life down below on Earth, as the satellite resembles something much more dystopian. Now, let's take a look at these three distinctly different characters. First, let's talk about Buck Todd Russell, the leader of the group here. To describe this large and in-charge dude, the words would be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luckily, his character doesn't come off as one-dimensional, like just being the buff guy who can use his fists to solve problems. Instead, we get to see him deal with his anger issues, how he views himself as a person, and issues within his past relationships. A lot of this is what helps in his nearly father-like relationship with Otto. Otto Osworth is the unofficial newest member of the Time Squad who joins them after leaving behind his life in an orphanage back in 2001.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks to both Buck and Larry adopting him to their time traveling family. During the pilot episode when Buck and Larry travel back to 2001, Otto endures the cruelness of the nuns at his orphanage as well as the other kids there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having a soft spot, the two time travelers, despite it being extremely prohibited to do so, break the rules and take Otto with them. It's a nice introduction to Otto and putting this very odd trio together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What makes him useful to the team is his knowledge of history pre-2001 and offers a level head to the group in extreme situations. Now, even though he is kind-hearted and works extremely well when it comes to problem-solving, Otto is still a child, dealing with his smaller worldviews, which is where both Buck and Larry come in to aid in those discussions. Aside from that, he can also pal around and goof off with Buck to let out that childlike energy. He is voiced by the talented Pamela Adlon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But while Buck is the more rambunctious fun parent, we still have to discuss Larry 3000, Andre 3000's distant cousin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a lie, but the name is still great. Voiced by Mark Hamill, if you couldn't tell, I've said his name probably too many times in this video, but I'm not really that sorry for that. As Buck's number one partner in his time-traveling escapades, Larry is more of the cranky and slightly overdramatic type, as his role as a translator and diplomat was defunct when peace on Earth became a thing, and he was no longer needed. Now working as a time cop to precisely make sure jumps in time are executed with no problems, or a majority without any problems, he adds a level of pushback to Buck's inherent nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With having to make sure people like Blackbeard the Pirate, Napoleon, Paul Revere, Edgar Allan Poe, heck, even Buffalo Bill,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Voiced by Mari Weiss, is Buck's ex-wife who is a time squad lieutenant and has a lot of what Buck doesn't have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like her cleverness and analytical smarts, which help greatly in preserving the timeline. Making many appearances throughout the show, whether it's for comedic purposes or plot-related reasons, she mainly acts as a foil to Buck's personality and approach to being a time cop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She also has the robot XJ-5 as her time traveling partner and is the foil to Larry being more capable in the field and he just loves to rub it in Larry's face. XJ-5 is voiced by the legendary Darren Norris. As far as any real villains or antagonists, there really aren't any of major note.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, there are some reoccurring nuisances and some issues in other time periods they face, but there isn't a big overall evil to stop at the end of the day. There is time cop JT Laser and his high-tech robot Lance Nine Trillion, one of the best officers in the Time Squad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he really is just kind of an arrogant jerk more than anything. He is voiced by Jim Wise and Lance 9 trillion is voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. Now let's take a look into the creation of the show and some pretty interesting stuff regarding Time Squad in general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Time Squad entered the Cartoon Network family in the way of Cartoon Network's cartoon cartoons, the network's collection of original created series that would come out between 1995 and 2003, making it at the time the tenth original for them to produce. These original series were produced in a joint effort between Cartoon Network Studios and Hanna-Barbera, but what sets Time Squad apart from the rest of the nine cartoon cartoons before it is the fact that it was the first cartoon to be solely produced by Cartoon Network Studios after they stopped being a division of Hanna-Barbera when William Hanna passed away,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Time Squad would also be the last new Cartoon Network series to premiere during the founder and at the time president of Cartoon Network, Betty Cohen's tenure with the company. Dave Wasan, an American animator, director, writer, and voice actor created Time Squad. You may have heard his name before, being attached to other shows like Star vs. the Forces of Evil, The Buzz on Maggie, Making Fiends, and more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Making his work being spread across all the big cartoon related networks, Nickelodeon, Disney and Cartoon Network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being the creator as well as the writer and director of Time Squad, it gave him a lot more leeway for final control of the style and tone for the show. When brainstorming ideas for some episodes, the writing team would find some historical figure and try and curate the most outlandish and ridiculous situation for them to be in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for how their story could have gone so wrong as to mess with the timeline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A fun and creative way to come up with why they picked the figures in history they did and how episodes would play out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael Tavera, famous for his music on shows like Mucha Lucha, Lilo & Stitch to the Series, Yin Yang Yo, and The Secret Saturdays, had worked on this show first before any of those adding his own unique sound to this show. The reception, though, of the show was pretty positive upon its release, with the series racking up five Annie Award nominations during its two years on the air. Now, unfortunately, they never won any of them, but they were at least recognized in a positive light. The show would come to an end after its second season with no real explanation,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could have made up anything from the years 2001 to 100 million if they wanted to. Outside of animation, Dave has also written and illustrated the children's book The Big Ideas of

[Assistant] While the rest of the episode centers around Otto being kidnapped by the head nun of the orphanage and taken back to do chores and suffer the same terribleness he once experienced, Buck and Larry eventually end up having to go and rescue him.

[Assistant] And that's all fine and dandy, I guess, but the social commentary at the time, the specific digs in the writing towards the maturity level and intellectual level of the president is what made this episode stand out more than usual.

[Assistant] With most historical figures, they were all pre-1950s. And sure, while they all had jokes at their expense, it just came off a bit different as the show directly mentioned certain policies. As well as many more instances within the episode critiquing a sitting president in the middle of their term. Some parents would find this as agenda-pushing or not necessary for their kids to watch. Honestly, most of this would fly over a kid's head anyway, but to each their own, I guess. This episode would only ever air once on TV as the network felt uncomfortable for re-sparking fear

[Assistant] And the material in the episode not being up to what the network would want to show. This has been cited as a potential reason the show didn't continue on, but there is nothing official that states this being a concrete reason. So, not the craziest controversy, but

[Assistant] Looking back on it today, it just seems like timely satire. I personally can't recall it back then as I don't have that recollection of watching it on air at the time. Overall though, the show was pretty great. From the writing to the trio's family dynamic, it had a really cool premise with creative ideas that made each episode fun. And as a fan of sci-fi, it really blended together well.

[Assistant] Here you shoot various clocks and you get a higher score. It's pretty repetitive. With nothing else to really note, the show sadly has fallen into more obscurity as the more time passes. And it's starting to feel like Time Squad is slowly becoming lost to time.

[Assistant] Uhm, do you think that you pounding on the wall sorta drove home the point that okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. He honestly got, he may watch. I think he watches it. He may watch. Can you imagine if he's sitting there eating his bagel and you're talking about the guy's like, is that me? That's my neighbor. That's him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And about halfway through the season, he's sitting next to me in the dugout. We're hitting. And he goes, what do you do for a living? And I said, I work in television. And he goes, oh I've known you for three months and I'm just now realizing

[Assistant] You used to work on ESPN. Yup. And that's the way I like it. If I can slide under the radar like that, that's awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do. I as a rule will avoid the question, so what do you do? Where in my old life I didn't. But I do now because that always precipitates the follow.

[Assistant] Your first job on air was about an hour and a half from my first job on air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I will say, in defense of the stereotyping, like, I lived there three years, I didn't meet anybody that was in the client.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it measure up to the basic minimum requirements of being a human being? Yes, and you are right. It doesn't. You're right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think being blown off is ghosting. Ghosting is there's just nothing. Well, sure. I barely with someone upstairs who, you know, I'm not going to name names, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This person has come to me on a number of occasions and asked me not to explain what's wrong with my gender, but literally said, why would someone do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I felt so bad for this person, because this person is kind, sweet, attractive, everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They came your way, you took the time to read it, and then you put your phone down. At one, okay, maybe, I'll get back to her later, but at six, like, it just takes a second, G. Bush.

[Assistant] You've made it a point a couple times on this show, and I've always appreciated when you've done it, to say, look, you know, differences aside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Color aside, we all have one thing in common, and this is the only thing we all have in common. We're all human.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like everybody wants to delineate between race and sex and sexual identification and all of this nonsense that divides. It puts us in classes and you know what that does? It separates us. But the one thing we all have in common, every human on this planet, we're all part of the same race.

[Assistant] By the way, her move was classless too. She spoke a private relationship public. And that is reprehensible. Right. Especially when she, it was, I don't think your actions warranted hers. No, no, no. Now, if she wanted, she could have sent back a text.

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, Chris is on the horn, so we want to hurry here. First of all, do you have any diet update you want to talk about that or do you want to skip that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They looked at that for 10 minutes before they made their decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, uh, what's the big story from the combine? Is there anything that sort of developed that we didn't expect to develop so far?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And nice chemistry at Clemson. I think Cook's makes the most sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, that's what's on his birth certificate. Adam the Bull. I had a question for you, it just hit me again. On 1-100, 100 is Deshaun, you're certain Deshaun Watson will return to the player he was when he was at his peak in Houston. Zero being you know for certain he won't. Where are you on that sliding scale?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, where are you? Because I know where I hope I would, I have a huge difference between where I am and where I would, where I hope I would be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what scares me, Chris? Because you're right. I mean, once upon a time, the eye test told you this is a guy who could win a Super Bowl, but not too long ago, around the same time we were saying that about Watson, we thought the same thing of Carson Wentz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there are other guys whose stars were high and-

[Assistant] And you bring another coach in, you're starting from ground zero. But what's worse about that, to Chris's point...
