[Assistant] 13 teams in 14 years. And you had to feel for those other guys on the roster because it got to a point where it was like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You saw Kittle trying to wipe the guys up and trying to say, hey, can you just hand it off? And they doing reverses every single play. I'm like, bro, they needed another quarterback behind him. Obviously they didn't. And that, that, that turned out to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I'm basing my stuff on is I'm, I'm looking at the teams in the playoffs. I'm evaluating the way they play. I'm evaluating the way they do things. And what I'm saying to myself is saying, all right, where do we stand on the pecking order of what they got going on this field and what we doing? And with that being said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I felt like they had Troy Hill in him, I thought that was gonna be it. I did too. That's gonna put us over the top. These dudes know how to play. They was both excited. And it just seemed like they found out very quickly that A, Troy Hill didn't fit what they was trying to do. And then John Johnson didn't fit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I think, I think him and Delphid is the same person. I just think Delphid is a little younger and I think he has a little more upside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not today, but we are getting there. Well, for now, it's almost like, you know, preparing who you gonna ask for some money from. Like, you notice people in your family you will ask to borrow money from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that, that middle brother, and he'd be like, uuuh, but he'd be like spending a lot of money. He'd get Jordans every week. He got extra girlfriends everywhere. It's hard asking for some money from him because you're thinking like, well, he,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause he gon' want that money back tomorrow. Like he needs that money. And he gon' tell everybody, he let you borrow money. I don't need everybody knowing that. So that comes with strings. That comes with strings attached to it. He wants some money back on the, on the backside. Like some interest. I'm like, dang, you the bank?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jarvis Landry and all that Beckham Jr. and they was just like, that was a whole thing for a year, right? He just came and calmed the whole room down and put up these numbers. I don't know if I can ask him, but if he gonna do it, if you gonna do it, if you gonna do it, I'll smile at you bro. Let me get that off. But I don't know if he will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, is he, now, he's restricted or unrestricted? No, he's restricted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, this is a problem for me. What they're telling me right there, somebody's driving that market up. You can't have a guy who you got that fell into your lap that you coached up that is now the number one center after you had Harris go down the first play of preseason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He the hottest in the game right now. I was expecting them to give him the Conklin money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was the Conklin money I thought was going to be allocated, and I said, hold on, what? I'm thinking linemen, okay, well who they getting poachage? Is they restructure, maybe they might restructure tellers, but when they gave him brand new money to Conklin, I said, well what you doing poachage?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a tough one, man. I don't think he's, his market value to me is way higher than, especially you talk about center. I think this is, if they can get him for that, sure. But here's what I think that the money gonna look like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it don't look like the same ball player. I'm trying to figure out what they, maybe they know. Yeah, Jack Conklin, maybe, maybe they think he had, it took him a year to come back and he gonna be back next year. This was a kind of a get together year, but you know, I didn't see it. I didn't, I thought that they could have, they could have did something else with 60 million. I will say this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe, I think the Browns are hoping that Bill Callahan is to offer some linemen as Angie Reid is in skilled positions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I get it. I get it. Hey, look, if you want to take that number, like I said, I'm all for it, bro. I'm all for it. This last one to me is the most interesting of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anthony Walker, let me see this man, Anthony Walker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, uh, I thought this year could have been one of those years where you leave and you get it and you say, okay, he gave us what he needed. He gave us that leadership, that civility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the crazy thing about it was, he just wouldn't give you stability. He was actually giving you production too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you look at PFF, he was probably graded as one of the top, you know, five or six type linebackers in the 80s. Uhm, then he goes down, the defense looks like it's in shambles. And the one thing that I can say about Anthony Walker is this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Anthony Walker was here, we didn't hear nothing about the J.V. McClowney, right? When Anthony Walker was there, we wasn't hearing no John Johnson. He was the dude people was coming to, right? And you heard less of Miles Garrett, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think that if you are installing a brand new defense and you need somebody to have a voice to say, y'all need to buy into what we saying with Schwartz, I think you gotta have a guy like that. I think you just do. He's one of them dudes who...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You put him in. So you're happy face. Yeah, I'm gonna take this one. Go ahead. Give it to me. Yes. Yes, indeed. Well, I'll take some of this Anthony Anthony Walker any day twice on Sunday because these linebackers look like little small, uh, JV kids and was all over the place when he went there and I think it can help that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he only gotta do much. He's a veteran. He know how to keep himself in shape. We'll keep him unscathed. He ain't gotta do no two-a-days and all this other stuff. We just need his voice while they trying to, cause this defense needs rehabilitators spiritually. You're doing load management? Yea, yea, yea. He's load management on that. He's definitely got that, uh, he got that Kawhi program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely pivotal. One thing I can see, one thing I take away from this weekend watching all four of these teams that was in the championship games, when I looked at their defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were solid throughout. Weren't nobody, it wasn't no missed tackles. It wasn't no yelling and screaming at each other. It was crisp. The calls was in there. You didn't see, he's wide open and guys are looking at each other, busting cup. No, these dudes was solid even in the games when, when, when San Francisco got down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These toads were still playing at a very high level, and you could just see the soul of those defenses. They had pride, they wasn't getting embarrassed, they understood what it was about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just, that, that is the things that needs to be translated and infused into the Browns. And they just need, they need character guys like this. They just need these, they need a couple more guys. They find, they get some guys like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the crazy part about it is when you got, when you, when you say things like that, I think sometimes people get caught up in the greatness of who they got on their team and forget that they got to play too. Yeah, right. Like you, you got Joe Burrow, but you got to make a play too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we watch, we listen, my, my, so just think, my grandfather, right, you know, my grandfather passed away when I was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think about it, think about it during the times when, when, when, you know, the heyday, when, when, and, and when it, from 94 to about 99, bro, he used to start begging that drum, and you knew


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You not only gotta be good, you gotta be durable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta be lucky, lucky as hell. You gotta have the right calls happen for you. You gotta have some, some players make plays at the right time. And, and, and this game just showed you, you can have the best offense, the best defense, and you can get in that game and one or two things happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. I'm a party got hurt and that was done. It was it was you saw it. They fought valiantly. But when you're at that high of a level, the eagle said value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always say that what coaches say, or GM say that they are, I'm doing this and I'm 100% in the win, they're all lying. Because we mentioned a name earlier. Give me, hey, where Colin Kaepernick at? I know he can't answer that. Colin, can you, can you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, they, they don't want to break the glass. When you break the glass on that Kaepernick situation, then the game becomes about Kaepernick and not about the 49ers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you watch, if you watch San Francisco play, I think the thing that Shanahan was mad about was, this is the style of play that they had all year. They, all year, they was handsy. All year, they, they pre-plush man coverage. Time is to tell you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They gotta keep it 50-50. They gotta keep it 100. They gotta keep it, you can't, you can't call every single thing, especially the five yard, the five yard first down. That was the big one. That was the big one. I'm like, I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let me tell you this, I'll go back and look at the reason why Philadelphia is so dominant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'll look at the defense of the line. You know they got 70 sacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They keep heat on you. It's, I mean, when you look at Reddick, and when you get Fletcher Cox, and you get hard ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, now, now, these boys had 70, and it wasn't like they was just playing the pass, cause they was stopping, they was hitting McCaffrey in the backfield. One thing, 25 and a half seconds, how many do Eagles have?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes it's so annoying because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're getting there. They're getting there a step late. So you, you, you, you talk yourself into thinking, we're there, we're almost there. But see, coaches don't understand how difficult it is. And I'll give this to Jadevi and Cloudy. I'll give them credit for this one. You don't know how difficult it is to rush a quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By yourself and have to win. Yes, you supposed to, but when you come in and it's one on one, like, like people will talk about it. Like when you are a guy, Donovan Mitchell went for 70. But when you go for 70 and it's ISO 70, ISO 70 is different from Steph Curry coming off screens for 70.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? Sure. Cause I gotta pound and get, I'm getting foul. I'm at the free throw line. I gotta play defense. It wears your legs out. So, so when you get in sacks at that high level and you can get an occasional blitz and a quarterback run right into you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You take that, or you can get a clean look because the offensive line are confused, you'll take it. But when you gotta keep hammering home and you gotta keep this guy in front of you, that's when things break down and that's when things actually happen like the penalty. You've been running all day against Patrick Holmes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you watch that game, not only was he not 100%, Kelsey wasn't 100%. No he wasn't. You saw that, they just put the play in. You know, they had a play called when the first touchdown with Kelsey. Kelsey was supposed to run a post corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sitting here telling you, when you smell blood in the water, your goal is not to lighten up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to play harder. You got to bring more pressure and say, Patrick, I'ma shake your hand, buddy. If you beat us on one leg and we bring in seven, eight people and you can find the right route with third receivers, fifth receivers and tight ended Kelsey, that's hurt. I'ma clap it up for you and say you the best to ever do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] J, he tweaked his ankle again. People didn't even see it. When that, when he fumbled the ball and he was going after the ball. I saw that he was limping after that. He went to plant to tweak, to go back and tweak his ankle again. The next two drives, they had nothing. And I was sitting to myself thinking,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had, so when, or a couple plays earlier, they had Chase. They ran the, the, the kind of stop the in and go, and Jamar Chase jumps up and makes a catch between two of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they say, listen, run that back, but we gonna run it with T Higgins over here. They run the same route. He throws it up. It's a perfectly thrown ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he, and he, and he, dude, he wasn't in position to intercept the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean a boy with a helmet. So he tipped it, he caught it and I was just sitting there saying, that's when it hit me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he said, uh, he, Big Brown, shout out to him, he probably might be watching, he said, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All quarterbacks do. All savvy, we know y'all, right? There's three things that quarterbacks do to defensive linemen, and it's age old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three things that you can do to just make D-Lyman look dumb. The first thing is, punk fake. It don't even matter if you pass a line of scrimmage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They played a tip-toe game on the sideline. See, when you're chasing somebody from behind, and you done tried to chase this dude, and you've been hacked here, or this close, you can smell his breath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he running out of bounds and he had invaded you. See, he's right by these sidelines. You don't have no perception of how fast you going and how far he is out of bounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All you see is the upper version. And so when he does this, Patrick Mahomes feel you bearing down on him, he's still technically in bounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's two feet out of bounds and you don't even recognize it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's fifteen every time. Then he rolled all the way over with his back. His stomach was out. And he already hurt his ankle. He sold his soul for that fifteen. And he got it. He knew he had one play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew his ankle was beat up. Now he thinking, okay, say for instance, that penalty didn't happen, right? It was still like eight seconds or something. So, so there was no way he could come in and throw the ball or do nothing. He used his whole life force on that play and said, I need some more points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, when y'all talk about situational football, see, that's the problem. He was on that sideline crying because he knew what he did after the fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is where coaches need to be talking in these huddles. Guys, these guys are going to need to get out of bounds. No, we don't need it. Listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sometimes, and I'm sure they do this, but this is a great teaching point in training camp. You showing this. Put it on film. Guys, this has happened this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some point in time, some point in time is going to happen. You're chasing as a defensive lineman. Always understand where the quarterback is, is by the sidelines. We always err on the side of running and chasing him out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And don't touch him. Don't use your hands. Chase him as if you trying to put your body on his body, but we know hands, right? And so that way you don't push and pull and in 15 yards. Cause at the end of the day, those 15s are the only thing that can win that game, that penalty. That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know why he would, here's the thing, I just tell people like this man, see sometimes you get used to winning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the bangles, the bangles have a, a spotted history of being terrible, like along with the Browns and have some bad years, but the bangles have been good for the last couple years. They've been making it and sometimes you get comfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey man, I remember that was, I remember that was the first tape that I went and tried to get my credit card and buy. I said, Jerry Springer, Beyond Dark. I said, I'ma get this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They keep playing the way they are, unless there's something major that happens. I think this is who the Cavs are. They're really fun to watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fun team, they give you a puncher's chance because they have scoring ability. However,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Team seem to have the best night shooting in the world against them. To me, I just think this is just who the Cavs are unless they can get another piece or Evan Mobley takes another step higher. I just think right now, unfortunately, until they can get to an off season or get another guy that's a bona fide stopper at three,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think, I think they're 5'6", and they have a puncher's chance in the first couple rounds, but I don't, I don't see them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Brad, I think it's a little bit of fool's gold, like they're ranked number one or two in the league in defense, but I thought Jason said this last year, they're ranked number one or two because they play hard. These other teams ain't playing hard defensively yet, which is a scary thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phil, like, I watched his videos and I thought he just was like one of the ghouls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But no, Phil teaches the game. He's in the minutiae dribbling drills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phil would get people together or even when, when, when he asked for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six, seven minutes of the game. Nick losses, that can't happen. This team too talented for that. And I think that's just a problem when you go from zero to a hundred. Now there's an appetite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just hit me, this is my, listen, this is my face, cause I'm telling you, Adam Silver, I got something for you, my camera right here, where's it, right here? I got something for you, dawg, here's how you do this, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you guys have already done a really good job of, of scheduling things out. You know, you know how you got those super maxes and all those, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're not eligible for no super max unless you what? First team all? First three?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well here's the thing, we got a thing called matinee games, right? These is primetime game matinees. You put them on a schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when you come out and you sit near a sand, as a first team, second team, third team all-star, you got a certain amount of games that you gotta play matinee games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or are you not a first team all NBA, which affects your money?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got marked when you come to the Cavs and you play the Cavs. You got Darius Garland is a matinee player. You got, you got, uh, Donovan Mitchell is also a matinee player, right? Oh, oh, uh, big man. He made it all Jared Allen. So them three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you gotta play three or two of the three of your matinee players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steph Curry, Draymond Clay, you gotta play two of your three matinee players. And, so you got, you looking at it, yea you can say Steph, but Clay gotta play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because that is what you owe back to the system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've given you first team all NBA defense. We saying that these are the best players in our league. We saying you're an all-star. Them is the best players we got. So now what you need to know is you gotta play a certain amount of games and if you don't play a certain amount of matinee games from 2023,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 2024, you're not eligible to be All-Star. I don't care if you get 100 points a game. You're not eligible, dawg, because you didn't put in what you should be putting in. I can't say them tickets is higher because you, you that good and we giving you accolades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you, I would work with the coaches, I would work with the, with the ownership, I would work with the teams and say look, if you guys need practice off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cut the practice. But we need you guys playing. The shooter rounds, get rid of them. They're pros. You know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would not have gone over. McNuggets may let me hear one of these jokes. I hope he come with it. It's fire. Yeah, I can't wait. I cannot wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want one Cowboys fact that brings us back to the Browns? Yes. Who's the last Cowboys quarterback to win a playoff game against the 49ers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think Dax could win a championship in Dallas though, or is that ship completely


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cowboys signed Zeke to a long-term extension. They did. If they cut him this offseason. Cost them how much?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 12 million dollars in dead cap space. He's making 18.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dax under contract for four more years at 40 million per and over his last six games. Zeke average 2.6 yards per carry 82 yards 82 carries. Excuse me. 213 yards over the final six games of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

We're gonna drop that in the chat for you guys now. We'll also blast it out on social media. We're gonna talk about that coming up, but we gotta do Cavs first. That is the most recent emoji that we have unlocked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bulls, the next emoji we unlock and then we get someone else and we get to a certain platform. I'm not quite sure what that number is, but yeah, that other games are relevant. Let's just move on to the calves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, we're fine. We're fine. Plus Steve Becker wants to hear about us talk about the Eagles, but we don't really, you know, Steve, you're, you're whatever. You're not-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, Guards Fest was awesome. It was quite the event they put on. Well attended? There was a ton of people there. Jason was there as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I myself went to try and get some interviews and do some fan stuff. My timing could not have been worse. It was not the Guardian's fault whatsoever. I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went in, got there in the media window and they told us to get there. Saw Curtis, he showed me where to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, in the time that I was there, it was like Tito was coming in. It was all the big guys. And if you take any of those guys out, they all want to, so I'm like, all right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I will say though, and we're going to tell you guys about this a ton for the next couple of weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] February 8th we're doing our stand up at Picklick and Frolic. We want you guys to come, not just to come hang out with us, all the money from the tickets is going to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank. So not only is it going to be a fun night, Anthony and I are doing stand up, Poke's doing stand up, we're probably not going to be good, Poke will be great, but legitimately it's going to a great cause to Greater Cleveland Food Bank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'm not, I know we've had people buy them. Uhm, I'm not quite sure what the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, deal with like seeing how many are sold or not. That's, that's Polk and he works through picking the product. So I'll check with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, we're gonna sell it out. We're gonna sell it. Oh, you're confident? I'm confident we're gonna sell it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, listen, I have, I tested out two jokes this weekend on my friends from back home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of them. Steve, did you just say the F word?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've done live hits, you know, I've worked in TV, so I've done some pretty big events. Sure. That stuff I'm not nervous about. I am a little nervous that this is going to be very different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have one minute left. So yeah, I'll just keep rambling cause there's no time for final takes. Uh, and Earl get ready cause Earl's going to join us for overtime by the way. Earl's going to hop out in that chair with you guys for overtime. What is our overtime topic? Let's tease that. We're doing a little Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrows talk. Okay. Is Lamar Jackson worth the money? And if he's not, is Joe Burrow worth more guaranteed than Deshaun Watson?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see we have ourselves a maestumes as aficionado.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he reached 2 million miles. My dad was a truck driver. Drove 18, uh, wheelers for over 25 years. 2 million miles is equivalent to 2 times around this entire United States. He did that with no accidents, no tickets, getting every load to its destination safely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The significance of that is he did that on my daughter's 10th birthday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, today my daughter is 15. Ayana, I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday to let you know how proud I am of you. Uh, the young lady that you're becoming, the athlete, the little entrepreneur, you got a 4.0 GPA. Everything that you're doing, keep doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They say a measure of a parent is when your kids turn out better than you. And I just want you to know, I think that you're 20 times better than me right now. Don't ever stop being who you are. Keep striving for greatness and just keep pushing us the envelope forward at all times. I love you. That was it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people look at these athletes and they get so angry when they like mess up and make mistakes because they idolize them. You know, that's their role model. Not for me.

[Assistant] You know, my dad was legendary. He was a hard working man. A man's man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when my father passed away, it just put something in me to, you got one life to live. And this thing comes and goes pretty fast. I don't want to be looking up from my grave wondering what I could have done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or wishing that I could have done X, Y, and Z. That is my biggest inspiration and motivation to this day. It just sucks he can't physically see this phase of my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gotta go. I told me Nuggets he should stand in front of Steve A and try to say Kyle Hogan the proper way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to tell you a story of the old days, when people were different from now. I'm going to tell you about the building of a kayak. How it was made in the Eskimo way by my father and his great friend the kayak builder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people think that old Tuck To never ran after the girls. But I also was young once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember my father making this kayak as if it were only yesterday. The frame of a kayak was made of driftwood. Driftwood was of great value to us. It came from beyond the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of it from strange lands where the sun always shines, or from whaling ships, or from ships sent by white men to look for Eskimos. It came to us when the ice melted, and was cast up on our beaches. When we found it, we were thankful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day I was playing on the beach with a stick I had found.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remembered that my father had gone out early in the morning without a spear or a bow or even his fishing lines. He is hunting with his bare hands, I thought. Surely my father is the greatest of all hunters. But I was filled with curiosity and wondered what he might catch without a fishing line or what he might kill without a spear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I saw him far away along the beach. Every now and then he would pick something up. On his back I saw a bundle. A bundle of driftwood. Then I knew why my father had left so early that morning. He is going to make something out of wood, I thought. This could be a great marvel. And I was filled with curiosity and excitement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I arrived at the camp, I found the kayak builder and my father sawing up the wood. The saw was made of iron from a white man's ship. Said my father, we are going to build a kayak. Will it be our kayak, I asked? Yes, he said. With it, I shall hunt a caribou that swim in the bay. I shall float on the water like a duck. A kayak is a fine thing, and you, Tuktu, will see us build it. If you need a piece of wood of a certain length,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You must often join two pieces together. Watch tuk tu how we do this with caribou thong. Then we make the join firm with wooden pegs. Watch how I make the holes for the pegs with a bow drill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I must first learn all about these magic tools by watching. Do not be impatient, Tuck Too said my father. But I was impatient. If I couldn't help to build a kayak, then I would throw stones. I would practice throwing stones with my mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people throw stones and make it hard to build a kayak, said my father. Some people need useful work to do, said my mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You must learn, Tuck 2, that three people cannot always do things quicker than two. Sometimes two people work more quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You will be more helpful if you watch carefully and learn how things are made. Then you will grow up and be clever at building a kayak. I knew that my mother spoke true words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I still wanted to use the bow drill and cut wood with a saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said my father, a kayak must have ribs. To make them, wood must be bent into shape. First we make a fire. Then we boil seal oil in a pot. Then we carefully pour the hot oil over the wood. Thus we soften the wood and then bend the wood into shape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watched all these things even as my father told me. I saw the ribs bent and fitted cunningly to the frame. I saw how holes were made with the bow drill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Saw them fasten it securely to the front and back of the frame and to the ribs. Our kayak will now be strong, said my father. And it was so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, this is where I will sit, said my father. Watch how the work is done, Tuck 2. Watch and learn. I am thankful, I said. I am happy to learn these things. I also would like to use the saw and the bow drill. And so you shall, said the kayak man. All in good time. For the present, our work is done. Now we must cover the frame with skin. For this, we need the help of a wand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only a woman is skillful with a needle. Watch and learn, Dugtooth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The skins had been well soaked. Bring them up said the kayak builder. The frame is now wet enough and ready for the covering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will you let me cut wood with a saw and make holes with a bow drill? Yes, Tuck too, I will, he said. But first we shall float the new kayak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I pretended to be a dead caribou and floated away with my father very swiftly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bro, just like, when I started, when I came in the game, bro, I was, I was different. I came in. I came in. I'ma keep it real. I came in. The hustle came in, Rich. I came in.

[Assistant] You know, Wafi is Julia Lemonade. Shout out to Wafi. Wafi going crazy. He shouting motherfuckers up. Wafi is Julia Lemonade. Wafi would've did this, bro. For getting her.

[Assistant] I'm saying these VS 1 diamonds bro. Bro my, these VS, my Z bro, my Z cost $21,000 bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the VVS bro, ain't even all like, VVS wasn't hittin' me higher than VVS. Right. But then, Icebox just, see goddamn it's all the way around. That's nice. You know what I'm sayin'? See bro, Icebox bro, they ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They charged so much, bro, but what's good about Icebox is whatever you break something, you take it through, they ain't gonna fix it for free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn it. Well, you know what? I think that was a cute little game. I thought that that was pretty clever that you could, uh, become Furniture Man and, you know, there was a fun- the thing I actually really liked about that is there was a fun mechanic and a message. And I, uh, I agree with that. Sometimes- sometimes- there's a little Furniture Man in all of us is what I'm trying to say. And for now, Furniture Man is totally dead. Not because he was encumbered by items, but because he was just outright not physically fit enough to climb up the mountain. So, you know how that goes. So that's gonna do it for this episode of Let's Game It Out. Thanks for joining me for this little quickie with super furniture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was it? Everything, everything. And other teams do, most teams do a lot of the same stuff anyway, but at least they answer like the obvious questions. To that point in yours,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so. Well, I thought something that was interesting, even though I, I, was he wouldn't say whether, whether, uh, Priefer's gonna be back. Yeah, I don't understand that. I don't, I don't. Cause you think he's definitely gonna be back? I thought he was definitely gonna be back, but then why wouldn't he say it? It made me wonder this, has the decision been made?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we were, Jason and I were talking before the show about the fact that, you know, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your leaders are not, or if your best players are not leaders...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] have those guys. It might even be some names that the average Browns fan, if, if you talk about the Ravens, the Bengals, the Steelers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, I, the one of all the terrible things about having Jimmy Haslam, his owner, the one thing you can't complain about, maybe the only thing is that he is not unwilling to spend money and he is, and I bomb him and I decide and they decide Flores is the guy and I think Flores is the best choice personally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said throw the title of associate head coach out there too. Plus you know it, you know, some of us have complained about it, but you could say Brian Flores, you're the head coach of the defense. It's that simple. Kevin Stefanski will let you do your thing. Well, Stefanski, at least for the optics of it, he doesn't seem to be very involved with the defense anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, I like, I actually like that. I know I'm in the minority opinion. I like guys that are willing to hire guys and let them do their thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's fine. It doesn't mean you shouldn't oversee, but. But if that's true, let the offensive coordinator do his job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he, that's fair. I like your thinking on that. But I do, but I do think in the end, if Kevin Smith is not calling the plays, then I don't know what part of him is being head coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, and defensive, Jay was saying defensive coordinator, he's right. Before we get to Brian Flores, first of all, uh, the big news of the day is that Deedee is admitting she's an obnoxious parent at sporting events.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well listen, I, I got, you know, the Steelers have officially again made me look stupid. I have to eat, eat the losses here along with a lot of pizzas. Uh, for the Browns or for the Steelers finishing over 500 yet again, I will give you one more chance to do a victory lap on my bad prediction grade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bernard, by the way, you may not know, but G, G played high level college football. He played in Ohio. He sacked Ben Rafflesberger, this man right here. He sacked Ben Rafflesberger in college.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bernard, I'm curious, uh, on an unrelated note.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But let me ask you this, when you played, when you were with the Ravens, I know you played for four different teams, but when you were with the Ravens, like obviously, there's been different rivalry mixes in this division, but for the most part, for the last 20 years,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns have been awful. The Bengals until the last two years have been either mediocre or awful. The Steelers or Ravens have been good. Was it, even though division games are all, in this division, kick-ass games, was it, was it totally different playing the Steelers versus playing the Bengals versus playing the Browns?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From a physical standpoint, no athlete puts their body at risk more than an NFL player. Yeaah, I mean the, an average baseball player and an average basketball, I'm not talking about the Stars, the average baseball player, the average basketball player is making way much more money than the average football player. It's, it's crazy, but I think, Bernard, I think you nailed it. Like these, the star young, young quarterbacks,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mahomes and Burrow and Herbert and Allen, they could change the whole thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If those young quarterbacks, Lamar, all these guys, if they stood together and said, not only are we getting guaranteed contracts,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm bringing, because I can't, I understand why the 53rd man doesn't want to walk out on the picket line, because if the 53rd man is on the picket line, he's never getting any money, because he's out of a job. It's up to the stars, especially the quarterbacks, to say, hey 53rd man, I got you covered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bernard, before we let you go, this is the most important question of the day. Will you be sad when the Bengals boat race the Ravens this weekend?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought that Mike Prefer should get fired as well. Once they had the press conference, I assumed he wasn't getting fired, but Kevin Stefanski was asked twice in the press conference about Mike Prefer and he didn't say that he definitely has the job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, does Mike Prie, is Mike Prieffer definitely staying or is there a chance he's gonna be fired today or tomorrow?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mary Kay, did you just get some breaking news that you want to tell us about in that text there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely. You never know, especially this week, right? I mean, this is the week where the Browns sadly, unfortunately make a lot of news and it rarely has anything to do with a playoff game. Uh, is there any fear whatsoever?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's face it, there's a variety of reasons why it happened, but the bottom line is he didn't play well in the overall for these six games. Is there any fear in the organization that he may not get back to being the player he was in Houston?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the overtime segment on this show. And if you want to become a member, we were a B. I think we were a B level early. B minus. We have now progressed to an A. Yes. Yesterday you guys were missing me, so it's hard to be an A without me. But, but, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we're progressing nicely to an A. Starters tier, ah, it's fine. You know, it's not bad. You got the custom emojis. But if you really want to go big time, you get all that stuff. Plus,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The overtime, extra video, extra stuff, extra content that nobody else on the face of this earth is getting. So you want to be a part of it? Become a Coaches Dear member today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but all those guys got long-term contracts. All these guys, all those guys got 10, 12-year contracts. How much did Correa change lives last year? But did any of these other short stops that signed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The deal is a vesting option that can max out at 270. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, I said, you guys are like, you're like the Yankees now. And he goes, yeah, I'm hoping we don't sign Correa because it's too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One player... One player alone doesn't, you know, no matter how good a... No player should have... The only time I would ask... I'm surprised the twins would earn that money that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, I noticed the cost of doing business. Most of these long-term contracts don't pan out for the team. They almost never do, certainly at the end. But if I were a team, the only way I'd ever consider a 13-year contract is if I'm signing a guy who's like 19, 20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Anaheim? No, I know, but he was never good. Outside of maybe one year, he sucked with the Angels. No, I know, but they paid him. They paid him, right. But that was a stupid move. It was, I never liked him. You see, I understand if you're the Yankees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would only, if the guardians were willing to have a $200 million payroll, it wouldn't kill them. But they can't. The market won't bear that. Well, I don't buy that they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's assuming he gets cut, which is likely, but he hasn't been cut yet. No, the Dodgers are gonna release him. Right, but it's not, technically he's been designated for assignment. Which gives them a week to do a variety of things with him. But that's not gonna happen. You're right, they've gotta wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, I don't care what two consenting adults do. I don't judge any two consenting adults. I don't. It's none of my business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever, there's a lot of extreme things people are into. I think we judge people. We have no business judging people. I don't know. Listen, uh, there's more than one accusation. I've heard things about Bauer in the past. He has a bad reputation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone will, the tricky thing with Bauer versus Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a vacuum, it's smart to sign Trevor Bauer. He's, I don't think he's a great pitcher. I think you like him more than I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think he's only had two great seasons in the NFL, in Major League Baseball, and one was the COVID season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to weigh what impact he'll have on your clubhouse. Right, and that's a big thing here. But just like I was okay with the Brown signing Watson, I'm not gonna kill a team for signing Bauer. The Guardians can't do it because he was not liked here, he burned Bridges here, and he's a knucklehead beyond this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that I've ever seen a player this unpopular. Forget the fans.
