[Assistant] I do got a question. So another thing that Alex Van Pelt talked about, he kind of raved about the steps forward that, uh, offensive tackle James Hudson has taken. And we know he's a guy that's a depth guy, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, due to injury or something else, he might be called on to step in. Is there any confidence that James Hudson is starting to develop into a serviceable offensive tackle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just rest in peace to my friend, uh, Tremaine, who was, uh, murdered actually around the corner from our studio, uh, a week ago, his funeral. Oh my god. This upcoming Saturday. So just wanna let him know, the last time we talked,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was on the 4th of July, took a picture and he told me he was real proud of the things that I was doing because of where we come from and seeing where I'm at now. So just prayers and condolences to his family. Just want them to know that I'm thinking about you and may amen, rest in heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god. I can't believe this. Who ordered Bucky to kill them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no. Why you can't save them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do not abandon me. Not now, I need you the most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bohan pits neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother, and they are too scared to do anything else but fight. But these people don't have to die. There's an attack my father once taught me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can paralyze the body for a time, still keeping their mind alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, it's me. Can we meet? I really need to see you. Ah well. Life's a bitch and then you meet one. I'll see you at yours in half an hour. No, no, no, no, no, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My client's alibi was that he was living in Warminster, Pennsylvania at the time, which is right outside of Philadelphia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He came home, took a shower, went out with friends to celebrate his birthday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then went back to work the next morning. That was his alibi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was in custody shortly after Michelle Morboska was killed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And nobody did anything to try to run it through the data bank to see, uhm, if there was a match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if they had done it and they'd learned of the match much earlier on, then five or six other people would never have been investigated and would never have been charged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they kind of teach you very young, and I went to Catholic school too, like, you know, this abortion's wrong, shouldn't do it, uhm, it's a sin, all that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one's going down to the corner store picking up an abortion like they're picking up a pack of cigarettes. It's not, it's not that easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I'm almost going to feel a little bit of guilt, but I have to feel comfortable with the decision we made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's Justin Herbert? Herbert's four. Four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that, that goes a very long way. He's so long and so much bigger than most corners. Yeah, that's the new wave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Proper preparation prevents poor performance. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. You like that, didn't you? Proper preparation prevents piss poor performance. Piss poor performance. Get a couple more peas in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Engaging in behavior that's risky to them emotionally, uhm, and physically. We want to encourage them to make better choices with their behavior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you would still be pretty early, so if you haven't gotten your period when you come back, we'll retest you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your test is coming up positive. Congratulations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me how you're feeling about your pregnancy. I'm fine. Yeah? Were you trying to get pregnant? No. Okay. So it wasn't planned, but it's okay. It wasn't planned. Your mom, what does she have to say about it? Was she happy for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We set up a big screen up on the wall so that they can look up and see what's going on inside their uterus and how the baby's growing. Do you want to see the baby inside your uterus?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adriana, this is your baby right here. Okay. This flickering here is the heart beating. You see that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because uhm, we're not, we feel, I feel anyway that we're not ready to have kids yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause we're not financially sound. When I have my kids, I want to be financially sound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not like our parents. We both come from broken homes and I don't want my kids raised and I don't want to feel it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna have my kids brought up and me and Nancy are gonna split up. I don't want to feel that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we're trying again. He's pretty special. And nobody taking this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now usually the way this works is you either answer the question or you eat the food that's in front of you. However, in the spirit of brotherly love and you guys coming back together, we thought we'd change things up a bit. So if any of you don't answer your question that you're given.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This question is for you, Kevin. Kevin. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nick, let's find out what you'll be tucking into. Can't wait. I bet it's the penis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Three Chilli Pepper Smoothie, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That this is by all accounts pretty spicy. Okay. Oh boy. Uhm. Don't do well with spice over here. Well we'll find out Joe. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are in the movie, Jumanji, and are about to start shooting Jumanji 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. You and your brothers all go on vacation together often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Free the plug. You're mine. Fuck your intellect. Hey, baby, I need respect. Run me my money, bitch, give me my check. Get hit, bitch, give neck. Slap me tight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make sure y'all stay off the fence. Bill can see if you're messing with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't truthful when I came across y'all at the lodge, and I was shown a kindness I never would have expected from a group of strangers. But now folks are dead, and I can't help but feel I'm to blame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the plan was for no one to get hurt. I truly believe that was the intent. Carver's the one who pulled the trigger. He used to blame. Yeah, but... I surely didn't help matters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought if I was the one that found everyone, I could control it. Keep everyone safe. But that ain't how it went. I apologize. Which don't account for much, but it's all I can offer right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How was your first night in the yard? I know it ain't so comfortable, but it's safe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was cold. Well you got them skinny arms. And you ain't wearing a jacket. I was supposed to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Luke approached me about it, I thought he was crazy. I mean, we're safe here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got power, we got food. They never mentioned you. No? Huh. Uh, not even Luke? Well, I mean, that's to be expected, ain't it? You don't know me, do ya? What are they gonna say? Well, Bonnie ain't here. He wouldn't know what he was talking about. I guess that could be it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I justified not going by telling myself it's easier to try and change something that's broken than start all over. Take the situation with the herd. That's the type of thing that rips a community apart. He keeps things in line. He's got a lot of this stuff figured out. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess I just wanted to be somewhere comfortable for a while. Nobody's safe here with Carver around. You're safe if you stay on his good side. I would if I knew where it was. I mean, it ain't easy keeping a group this big fed and protected. I don't envy that position. Figured that'd make anyone a little stressed. I'm not defending what he did. That was... I'm alive because of him. That's just a fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sounds like you really respect him. It's not that. I just have sympathy for the man. Even though sometimes it's hard for him to do the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luke had ideas about how things should go, but they didn't line up with what Bill was thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They butted heads, then Rebecca started showing, and that only made things worse. Maybe Luke was right about him. I wish he was around, but I just hope he's safe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure it's fine. Oh! Almost forgot. I grabbed this for ya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found it at the lodge y'all were at. Think it might be for skiing. Had to wait for no one to be around to get it to you. I don't know. Oh, you don't like it. It's not that. I thought it was kinda cute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this ain't a fashion show. It'll keep you warm. You better watch yourself. I think some folks might be jealous of that cool jacket of yours. Oh, there you are. What's with the ugly jacket? Tavia! What? Nevermind. I'll see you later, Clementine. Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, hey. So, they want you to run some supplies out to the guys working at the expansion? Real simple, just take this over to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That jacket looks real nice. I don't know what Tavia's talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He pushed him off the roof. Maybe... Maybe it was just an accident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen to me. Take this stuff out to those guys and come straight back. Just be safe, okay? Now ain't the time to be calling attention to yourself. I need to go find out what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Troy, Clem's just gonna take them boys some nails. Alright. Go on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just chores of a different sort. Come on, city mouse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ran and found Bill once I left you, figured even if he had done it, he'd make up some sort of excuse, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was just one of those moments when your blood runs cold. Goose pimples up and down your arm. Cause it turns out the person you thought you knew was never there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was dishonest when I first met you, but I swear on everything holy, that'll never happen again. I, I need to talk to Kenny. Do you now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can understand you're uncomfortable. I won't force you to be around me if you don't want to. Go on, back out, be with Kenny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nooooooo! Nooooooo! Nooooooo!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What Bannon said was we are gonna do everything we can to take your power away and move it somewhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump got elected to disrupt Washington. And if it took a lot of executive orders and controversial executive orders to do it, so be it. They wanted to make that clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has no particular foreign policy or national security experience. He was the provocateur of provocateurs in that group. And so what's the reason for that other than kind of the aggrandizement of Steve Bannon as a way to say, I'm all powerful?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What Bannon basically said was, we are going to be in your face, you the establishment, you the media, you the Democrats. If you think we are going to play by your rules, you are wrong. We are going to do everything we can, uh, to, to take your power away and move it somewhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know President, and I think probably President Trump in particular, likes to have it look as though some advisor is pulling all the strings. The President was going to put him in his place and remind people, I'm the President and he works for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bannon was in an environment that was new to him. He'd never worked the legislative process. He may have done things in Hollywood or he may have done things at Goldman Sachs and, and you think, okay, I know how to operate and get people to do things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The degree to which there was competition between Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon, the president was gonna, in one way or another,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put Bannon down and be responsive to his family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Candy, water. Cookies. Everything. Yes. Okay. And willpower. Yes! Let's do it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh dude, I'm an espresso machine. Like at work, when I used to work in wrestling dude, there's an espresso machine and there's just a line of wrestlers there. Really? Yea, everybody's wilding, everybody's flying high on caffeine. You got a lot of lines you gotta remember. It's a live TV show, there's no fucking rewind button.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, right, bro? Uhm, honestly, like, they had that big falling out with the steroid scandal and the, you know, John Oliver just did a piece on HBO where they touch on a lot of this shit, dude. It's real crazy. Uh, but you know, like, their drug testing policy is stricter than the Olympics, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you coming from originally? Jersey, man. Jersey. I was discovered as a rapper on 2011 in a YouTube video that I made. Really? So you're a rapper first. Yeah, man. Yeah. So I was rapping in 2011. I made a YouTube video that went kind of viral that Barstool Sports posted. And then I had a friend that knew Triple H.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He shoots, you know, as you know, like, shoots a lot of music videos for a lot of cats out here in Hollywood and out in Rolling Lab. They just came back from. So my little brother makes music videos for other people and stuff like that, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I like put this video out where I was talking about trying to be a pro wrestler because I kind of had this in to get into the WWE because I knew a guy that trained Triple H. Okay. And so I'm painting this YouTube video. I put it together at this gym and we compiled it, sent it over to Triple H. I got to try out not knowing anything about wrestling and then got hired in the WWE. And the first time that I have had a match,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And John Cena was like, who the fuck is that? You know, and then he asked me to come out in that dark segment of TV that was not on air and I was meant to be fired, bro. So I was meant to go out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk shit, be the bad guy, get my ass kicked and get fired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when I went out there with John Cena that night, when he asked me to go out, I brought along my tag team partner, KazXL, uh, one half of free agency now. Me and him are back at it. But at that point in time, Big Kaz comes out with me, John Cena in the ring, and I call somebody soft. I go, you're S-A-W-F-D.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just kept saying it, and the crowd started saying it. The next TV tapings, me and Big Cass are not on the show. Uh huh. But the whole crowd is just going, shwoop, shwoop, shwoop. So two guys that were supposed to be fired, the fans just kept saying our shit. Right. So the fans got us out there on TV, and we just went out there and lost every night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bro, dude, timing is everything in life. Yeaah. I can't reiterate that enough. Yeaah. I'm just blessed. I mean, I met this guy, he got me an opportunity, I got on a, off a YouTube video, and then the next thing you know, when I just happened to debut, John Cena is the biggest star in the WWE backstage. Right. So this is out of everyone's control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's crazy. I, I snapped my, I just left, uh, I just did a sneaker inc, uh, video that we do, like, Kenya Martin just did the last one where they talk about, uh, they make a cartoon out of your sneaker story. And it's like a big production, and I just left there to come here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Sony into his shit. Right. So you never ever saw a big cast, you know, piece. But the guy's seven foot tall, so I'm sure he's got another to be ashamed of. I wouldn't fucking know, but you could ask, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our generation. Definitely. Because we're the last people to grow up without cell phones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? I was throwing rocks at chicks windows to get them to come down. Try to get a little peace back in the day. You know what I mean? Like that, that, when was the last time that happened? She's like, what the fuck are you doing? I wanna have sex. She's like, what? Yo, you used to print out MapQuest directions, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not anymore. I'm actually about to do something, I'm about to do something very monumental. Yes. Okay? Because I got drug testing, we got fined $2,500 every time if we did


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, wrestlers usually try to time it up probably like, you know, I'll smoke at the beginning of a month. If they came and they tested us this month and I know I'm good for a couple of weeks, but like I'm not going to fucking, you know, I don't know. Some guys smoke pot all year round, bro. And that's the thing I'm about to do. I'm about to come out right here. I got to tell you to the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? A lot of these old heads used to pop pills and shit and drink and ride the highs, ride the lows with drugs and they're all dead man. Right. And I'm so blessed to have gotten out of wrestling with my mind and my body still intact. Yeaah. Able to, you know, have conversations like this. How old are you? 32.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if we're looking at CTE and all the things that they're saying, I just don't think that there's enough out there yet, but it's common. It's all common. We see, and you know, there's been studies that say CBD coats your brain, and it helps, and I know that we, you know, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me that, I don't know exactly what it is, but you got ointments now that you can rub on your body as anti-inflammatory that I used regularly when I was wrestling. CBD apparently coats your brain. I don't know, I'm not a doctor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you look at, for instance, a guy like Joe Rogan and people that you've had on your podcast, I mean, you've seen Elon Musk smoke weed on Joe Rogan, okay? So what the fuck is the big deal? When Dave Chappelle sells out stadiums and arenas and smoke joints on stage, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just fucking, you know, telling you right now that like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got discovered as a rapper in 2011. You know what I mean? And I had to put that all on hold because of contracts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I had to take out credit cards to pay off student loans and to pay my car payment and I was making more money before I was pro wrestler, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was I supposed to do? So I took out credit cards and made ends meet and I was sleeping on an air mattress. My little brother will tell you they came down to visit. I had no furniture in my place bro, like took a hit to go chase this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I played college football, nothing to write home about, but like, uh, yeaah, like I was scrappy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know, for me, wrestling, the athleticism is important, but the entertainment is so much more important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Monday Night Raw ended at 10pm, boom. You have no idea what happened after that. There's no internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no social media. It's just like, you have to wait till next week to see how this plays out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You look over at any moment, you just see a guy punching, you know, the air and pretending he's having his fight, you know, just like, and then you see him talking to a wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what I mean? Like, you're practicing what you're about to do on TV and shit. So like, you just see that all over. And I remember the first time I ever walked in, I was like, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well my brother rolled this up for me and he didn't do a great job. It was supposed to be the first fucking, you know, smoking on TV ever of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of got a guy, did I not come through immediately upon arrival today when I, who's got a guy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want, you want to know a guy from Jersey. You always want to know a guy from Jersey because I always got a guy. You know? Yeah, I saw it. You sent out a tweet right before I came in here that said you need to get your girl verified. DJ Relentz says it. And I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to DJ Roland for making this happen. Is that one of your- DJ Roland is one of my producers, but more importantly one of my homies bro. He doesn't need to be working with a fuckboy like me and he does. Uhm, he's the man bro, he's so multi-talented. The guy can shoot video, edit video, make beats, uh, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of dreaming of smoking, now that I'm out as a smoker, I'll give you a little scenario story. So I get, uh, I'll buzz this one out. You know, I can put my mind on a treadmill. I can give you sound buds where I can give you substance. Roll this one out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that, that's, I feel like that shit still pops. If you played that in like a high school party on a Friday night, I think people would have moved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most death. So, I go to this thing, right? It's right after like a fucking...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wrestling thing I had to do. So I ain't got time, and I gotta have a wrestling match the next day, like, fucking, you know, like, a big thing, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotta squeeze it in. So I go with a few of my homies and Dave Chappelle's manager is a big fan of wrestling, so I got to know him well. And so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I sit down with him and I'm like, what kind of weed you got? And he's like, you want Maui? Wowie. And I'm like, think back to Dave Chappelle, stoner, you know, cult classic fucking, he walks into the, you know, the dispensary type.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He smokes the joint. When Dave Chappelle goes somewhere, everybody follows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was that I never tried to. Right. I never tried to be a part of the locker room. Never tried to be a locker room guy. Never tried to be a locker room leader. Never got involved in the politics. I had a different


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, happening than anyone else. Bro, I'm a kid from Jersey, made a fucking rap video, got thrown in the WWE, dude. I smoke pot and shit. All of a sudden I'm in this room. Most of these guys listen to rock and roll, okay? I learned more about that music than I ever would have in my life because I grew up listening to hip hop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, yo homie, you need a ride? So I took him to the hospital, took him back, and like I still talk to homie now. He ain't been with the company for years. Another guy from the show Tough Enough, like, he got a lot of heat in wrestling. Alright, what they call like, the boys don't like you in the locker room and shit like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a whole court system, bro. So like right after that happened to him, I took him for a ride. I was like, come with me, bro. You're good, man. Don't worry about that fucking heat, man. Talk about life. You know what I mean? I never tried to politic because the first time I ever went on TV, I was supposed to be fired. I wasn't supposed to make it. I just said


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then that turned into something, and I was blessed to have that, but like, for that rollercoaster ride, especially the beginning part of it, bro, I was like, fuck, what is going on, dude? What is he talking about? What are we doing in this match? Can I just talk shit and get hit in the face and fall over and attack him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that somewhere always in my mind, especially when you're living it and you're doing it and you're doing it at that level and you're in arenas all over the world every single fucking night, you just, you, you think about wrestlers vacation. You just know you're going to get hurt. You're just wondering when. I mean it's inevitable for all of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys get burnt out and they've, they've got three, four surgeries lined up. They get burnt out and they're like, all right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got to go get this knee scoped out. That's how it goes, man. And I was getting burnt out, dude. I was, I was the most booked wrestler in the entire world and I'm not just saying that. You can eat it if you don't believe it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, I was on the road probably well over 250, probably maybe upwards of 300 honestly, uh, because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I lived by coastal. I lived in Delaware because I was forced to live in the WWE developmental system in Florida and I took no vacation. I had never had taken a vacation. We got off around Christmas time every year for like a week. So you get that vacation time. It's almost like fucking college break.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I was booked every single weekend basically from 2015 till January of 2018.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the time it was, by the time it was over, uhm, yeaah. Yeaah, more money than me and my family had ever imagined making and the opportunities it afforded me man are, I would do it again, but like, not now. Then. Right. Everything that I did then, I would do again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not a bad guy, like if you smoke pot that don't make you a bad person, but I guarantee there's gonna be articles written about me smoking pot. And that's fine with me. I wouldn't have done it if, you know what I mean? If I'm fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. So it's just like wrestling, when you say something, you know, uh, you expect or elicit a reaction, you know. So, social media is no different and you know that. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who would believe that dumbass shit because this girl waited until the 25th anniversary of Monday Night Raw and sent a tweet out at like 3pm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was loving my life, I was loving the smiles of people and I more importantly wasn't letting any of the hate get to me because I was playing a bad guy on TV. Right. It's a unique situation in entertainment in general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few maybe say shit, like Kanye can throw the fucking shit, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was the look, right there. That was it, dog. I was white tees and, you know, Yankee fitted. You know, but we had the blowout. I was all Jersey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't mince it, you know, like I was a white beater, maybe two. White, white beater, black one over top, white headband, you know, maybe black one. So you were a guido before Jersey Shore? Yea, that's why we cut the promo on him, talking shit. Me and my brother, I cut the promo, he filmed it.

[Assistant] Yeah, definitely, definitely. They found me right off the back of a moving truck, dude. I managed the Hooters. Really? Yeah, for nine months straight out of college.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that Elvis up there? Is that Elvis? That's Frank Sinatra, Young Blue Eyes bro. That's some good work here, don't I? Mark Mahoney did that, you know who Mark Mahoney is? Sounds familiar. On Sunset, at the Shamrock? Right, actually I fuck with the Shamrock. So he does Johnny Depp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rihanna, fucking Tupac, Biggie, he's tattooed everybody. So listen to this plug I get. Leonard Skinner, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the remnants of the band now and the new lead singer, his younger brother, you know, Johnny Van Zandt, Rob Van Zandt, you know what I'm saying? So Ricky Medlock is the lead guitarist now. He was the drummer back in the seventies, I believe, but Ricky's a huge wrestling fan. Right. So Leonard Skinner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ricky Medlock is a huge fan of mine. And I get in touch with Ricky, he gets in touch with me. Ricky Medlock, the fucking guitarist for Leonard Skinner. I go to, I'm on stage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm like, this is nuts, right? Well, Ricky is like, you gotta meet this tattoo artist, Mark Mahoney. If you moved to LA and you don't get artwork from Mark Mahoney, you know, I'd be mad at you. So Mark only does referral appointments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah dude, he's the man bro. But more importantly, you gotta look him up. He's a Rat Packer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he's in the music video with Lana Del Rey, she's with that old guy, you know, dude, he's the smoothest looking cat you ever saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got five layers on. He walks in, takes the vest off, takes the coat off, takes the jacket off, takes the vest off, takes the cuff links off, rolls his sleeves up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you're getting tattooed. That's class. This is the guy. Wow. And he rolls in right before the appointment. Doesn't say much to anybody. He sits down, he's smooth as butter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I get hit by a little wing for this, this is just pasta on the back. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well he's, he's created, I think he's brilliant. I mean, if you look at Vince, he's created a monopoly in late 90s. He bought all the wrestling footage that ever existed and then he purchased the only wrestling place, uh, that was real competition, WCW, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he did so, he bought all the footage that ever existed of wrestling. Why? Because he foresees the future. He has his own network and he wanted to be the Netflix of pro wrestling. So he has his own app, his own network and when he switched from pay-per-view to you gotta buy the network to watch WrestleMania and all that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then if you don't like what you get, you go and ask. And sometimes as a wrestler, I walk up to a guy and I go, dude, listen, I walk up to my boss, I go, bro, I nearly fucking killed myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he goes and talks to Vince. Sometimes you get taken care of, sometimes you don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of guys I think get the money that they ask for, but nobody, nah, shit, I can't say. I don't think a lot of people ask. I never asked for a raise once, ever. Really? Yea, I actually turned down a raise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And was making more money than me. And I was on TV. And then she started wearing leopard print and kinda had a gimmick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was with us now. She's a part of our crew now. A girl from Massachusetts is from New Jersey and in our trio, I'm getting her over and holding a microphone and shit and she's getting paid more money than me and I knew it. So I never asked for money, but when they gave me a raise, I said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a goddaughter, I have a sister, I have a mother who are like, bro, you couldn't imagine the pain that my family went through from this. I mean, that's why I only regret.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to get on the heels of these cops with, with, and they had, oh, I had a lawyer on retainer for five months until the police report came out and said, yeah, this guy did nothing wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no, I, I, at that point in my career, bro, uh, I had felt like honestly, in retrospect, looking at my life, uh, the voice that I could have in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just felt like I appreciate all the opportunities I got from them, uhm, it was a dream come true, it was a blessing, uh, but I did everything I wanted to do there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm in WrestleMania against the Hardy Boys for the tag titles. I got fired with the title around my waist. I went out on top. That never, ever happens in wrestling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the next time that I came back to the WWE, uh, I showed up at a pay-per-view of theirs in November. The Summer Slim thing, right? Survivor Series. Just showed up. Bought a ticket, wore a wig.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all I needed to do bro, that's all I needed to do is show up. Trend number one worldwide. Trend over your pay per view. I beat you in your own game, Vince. I beat you in your own game. But what was the point of that? All I did was show up and stand up. The idea wasn't that you were trying to get back in. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like who I really am and who like the media might portray me to be. Like if you ever come to a meet and greet or meet me in person, you will see I'm like the nicest guy and I want to go above and beyond for my fans because my fans pay my bills and I am gracious and I have gratitude and I go through those DMs and I show that love back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if I had not got fired by the WWE, I would not have been living with my grandmother across the street for five months at the last five months of her life. And she lived across the street from me. So this woman is everything to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But instead I spent all that time and all those hours with her because what else do I have to do? I'm not a pro wrestler. I have a link in my bio. I sell t-shirts and do autograph signings and I make music now. So my music is generating me money. These other things are generating me money. I'm not out here trying to be a millionaire in the WWE. This time for me right now is with my grandmother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that means more to me than anything I ever did in wrestling. My music, touching people's lives, knowing that they're watching a music video that I made with my grandmother, uh, who passed away. And I, and I knew she was going to, she had congestive heart failure. We knew it. She didn't necessarily know it, but when you do something like that and you touch people's lives,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That to me is in essence why I got into entertainment. Right. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I came out swinging right away. So I came out swinging and I did a pure wrestling move. I did a heel baby face turn, right? I came out as a heel because I was a wrestler as a heel and I came out with a fuck you to anybody who said fuck you to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I dropped that on Worldstar, got millions of views, uh, you know, millions of streams, and, you know, nothing crazy, not, but this is my first rap track ever, my first rap video, to infiltrate it like I did, with a meet and greet going on in Times Square when I dropped it, 4,500 people showed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I then dropped grace, which doesn't have any curse words, doesn't talk anything bad and is inspirational music because I have to give to those fans too. And I don't want to put myself in a box. And while I did wrestling and you know, people like the rock were able to translate, uh, you know, into the biggest grossing star in the history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did he do that? You gotta look at the global mechanism that is the WWE when it comes to marketing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go to India, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Japan, China, Germany, you know, Ukraine. You go to Afghanistan, you go to, you know, Saudi Arabia. They just did, which was real controversial. They do Dubai, you know, Australia, New Zealand, sell out arenas. But here's the thing. Here's the trick that the rock used.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To build his brand. Cause that's what this is, is just building your brand, right? Why do, why is it that when the rock goes, the millions,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I walk into an arena with Big Cass, from the first day I was ever on TV to the cult following I garnered in NXT before I debuted on raw television.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I walked into every arena and what did I do? I introduced myself. Right. Simple. Why wouldn't I introduce myself? Right. But you're all going to say it with me? I didn't even know how the fuck this shit happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it was accidental with the soft thing with John Cena. So when I said the soft thing, that fucking thing got popping. And we just had to build upon it. So every time they wanted to see me in the ring and they didn't want to give me these long matches and I was going to go out there and lose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we're coming back from commercial in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, get to action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Depicted me in certain lights due to wrestlers that spread rumors and talked to beat writers and fucking, you know, conversationalists on the internet and forums and bullshit. Like if you get to know Eric the real person, you know that I didn't drive with the wrestlers. Yeah, I didn't really hang out with them. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have hate in my heart. I hit the same shtick every day when I walked into work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when they're like, what's up Benzo? I'd stop. Full-fledged stop. Yesterday was the best day of my life. You wouldn't believe what happened. I wake up today, today's better than yesterday. Unbelievable!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So do you love that guy or do you hate that guy? Yeah. But that's the way I was living. Right. I was so happy to be there, bro. I couldn't even fucking believe it. Right. You know what I mean? Nobody was gonna break my shot. They fucking tried to a million times. I got threatened to be fired more times than any other wrestler. Right. But that was because I stuck to my gun so much on what I wanted to say on a microphone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, you know, a facade and pretend to be this person because the character that I had built in the mirror because of inspirations like Jim Carrey, like I watched documentaries on Jim Carrey where he was just talking in the mirror over and over again, making faces, doing this, doing that. When I got signed by the WWE, I was like, dude, I fucking don't know how to wrestle. What can I do? So I wrote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And through music, I can always pull zingers and one-liners. Right? Know my rap shit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just like bars and people are repeating it and catching on. Right. But uh, you know, like actually one of the things that happened to me that was very organic was due to my brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My brother and his homies are sitting in the mall. The first time I ever came out on TV, I organically did not have it in my script. I just looked over at the people that were in the aisle and I was like, well what do we got over here? A cup of Hades? A cup of Hades?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, to smoke pot with Adam 22 right here. You know what I mean? I'm fucking hanging out with 50 cent shooting videos. I RKO'd fucking Tekashi 6ix9ine before anybody else got their hands on him, dog. That shit was real, man. Real G's moving. Show up, take a show with a wig on. Why did I do that though? Back to that? Why, why, why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a fighter, Brock Lesnar making millions of dollars in the WWE, Ronda Rousey making a million dollars in the WWE. You want a fucking fighter? You want a guy who does not give a fuck? Because that's what the people want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people want someone that they cannot predict. They have no idea what type of action this guy's capable of. They have no idea what he's about to say when he picks up that live mic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And reunite for the first time after the number one ratings draw in the entire year 2017. Me and Big Cass break up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We get back together on our own terms at Madison Square Garden in the first ever show at Madison Square Garden by Anon McMahon in 60 years. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They sold out the show in four minutes. New Japan and Ring of Honor did a joint promotion the night before WrestleMania. Vince McMahon sues them, loses the lawsuit. They get to run their show. He moves his show for NXT to Thursday night at the Barclays Center to not go head up against it. They have March Madness going on that night. They have, uh, you know, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] WWE Hall of Fame going on that night. So there's a lot going on in the world. Me and Cass reunited and that trended number one worldwide. And how did we do that too? We got into a fight and in pro wrestling,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, referees have gloves on, you know, cause like hepatitis was like how wrestler had at one time and then like fan out there or some shit. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, I grew up on that bro. So we brought the edge back to it. Me and Cass ran into Madison Square Garden, we ran into three guys, three on two fist fight, three guys who are literally crazy enough to have a fist fight in Madison Square Garden, two guys who are also crazy enough to have a fist fight in Madison Square Garden. I mean we pulled no punches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You watch that thing dude, people got choked out, people got fucking punched in the face, I took a fucking guardrail, busted open, bloodied, and that's how you make it real. That's how Brock Lester makes it real with, with brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kinda, security broken up at the end, and me and Cass walked out of there with our middle fingers in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To fuck you Enzo-chance, nobody had any idea what the fuck just happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, is intriguing enough for me to have in life. Like for instance, all right, I'm free agency with big guests right now, right? We want to reinvent the business model and notion of pro wrestling and promotion. Okay. So if I want to put on a show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do I need to sign to the WWE to do so if all these artists are doing theirs and social media has afforded people a platform to be the stars on their shows? And so like in essence, okay, uh, if for instance, I got a buddy,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two fuckboys, okay? Rich pricks that think they fucking got hot shit that, you know, because they have no real job, no real fucking talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing. They literally get paid to just videotape themselves talk shit. No offense to you. You're good. I feel like I know who you're gonna say. Logan and Jake Paul. Alright. Come around, you know, I'll fucking smack the shit out of those motherfuckers. Do you understand the big cast is seven foot tall?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Free agency. You guys have friends at Nitro Circus and I know it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had never toured just the Cruiserweights, but with my headline marquee, my name, we sold out fucking two shows, did two arena shots and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you guys, like Logan and Jake Paul, they think they're athletes, they think they can talk shit. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A battle followed by a wrestling match. This is what I'm saying man. I got the people at Nitro Circus, I think they do too, to put a ring up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, nah, nah. You wanna fuckin' fight, you want Enzo to get thrown off the top rope and drop, you know, bada boom shaka laka right on your 1-2-3 game over. These guys cannot compete with us. If they think they can compete with us in a wrestling ring, we put on our own show. Fuck, fuck, cut the middle man out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cut the middle man out. I think it's a good idea. I think they should go for it. I think they should too, because if they're rapping, I'm rapping, we got big cash in the studio now, guys got pipes that blow exhaust, and he plays the drums.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're strictly testing for marijuana. If they fail, and I fail, $2500 fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go look at Brock and Randy Orton and see people bleeding. Shit can pop off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This fool right here has a message for you. You just got some fucking smoke, bro. I was just talking, I just talked to some people on Nitro Circus and I think we can get a ring set up and the Paul brothers get that fucking cerebral palsy ass. Brothers get their ass kicked by Enzo and Big Cass, bro. How you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ain't stunnin' nobody, I don't wanna even know what you finished. Tell me what your, tell me what your finishing move is, cause I'm gonna kick out of it. I, I ain't, listen, I'm not here playing games, I do Jaeger bombs, not Batista bombs, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't want that smoke, dawg. We get you in that ring, bro. I'm gonna tell you right now, the shit can pop off. My tag team's seven foot tall. Alright? You can't teach that. You can teach a lot of shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, so I've been making all sorts of, uh, great connections and plugs, bro. Yeah, I got the plugs, bro. So, uh, I think when I first jumped into the music, it was a whole lot to learn, dude. There's a major learning curve. Um, there's a lot of people and just like wrestling had etiquette, music has etiquette. This is true. Um, it has politics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I am still learning how that all works, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luckily for me, you know, I've, uh, a platform where I made, uh, opportunities for myself outside of wrestling, you know, through social media and shit. I stay relevant and manage to connect dots. So like, I'm real tight with a few guys, uh, Roc Nation, Rell Carter, Jay-Z's nephew, uh, big, big,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very underrated rapper. I just heard, I don't know if I should throw Tommy under the bus right now, but you know, I, I mean I might have heard a song or two that maybe the world has never heard. Wow. That are fucking legend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I once had artwork drawn up that I put on Instagram for my fans. Like I kind of let them pick and choose some of the artwork that I put on my t-shirts at realoneshop.com and I made one that said girls do not fart, but it's a donut and it would look like the coffee logo for, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought it was good cause I had like, you know, and I tell girls, like I was, I was with a chick the other day. Um, and shout out to everybody at the dog pound gym, my girl, uh, Emily, uh, a trainer at the dog pound, you know, I was like saying to her, she said something about yoga. I'm like, yoga is just a contest to hold your thoughts in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I once was in promo class where it's acting class every Wednesdays in front of a green screen and you talk and they film it and then they give you feedback with like the upper echelon of WWE producers. Dusty Rhodes is the OG. Dusty Rhodes runs the class. Dusty Rhodes is in there and I'm like, dude I'm undefeated in promo class bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I don't want to be there anymore listening to this shit and I just raise my hand and Dusty Rhodes is like, oh, top guy. What kind of input do you have to help Baron Corbett win his promo? You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh shit, like, and I thought it was such a good reaction that it was gonna count as my promo, and I wouldn't have to do a promo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a talent dog. It was a talent. I loved it. That's so sick. So yeah, so he kicked me out, but I got fired that night by the WWE because Dusty called up. We're extremely upset about that fart and then, then, then, then that morning, that morning,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just drew a fucking signature deck that was perfect. It was this. It's actually on my license. I drew a deck on my license. Nice. Yeah. So anyway, uhm, I fucking get caught mid shaft. The fucking strike coach walks up and I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit drawn on the wall. And I'm getting browbeaten. Fucking, what are you thinking? We get corporate sponsors like Nike who could be giving us fucking sponsorship deals and drawing penises on the fucking wall here. Well, that's gonna stop them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, what do you do? I don't know. What does that guy do? How do you have fun? He creates Pokemon and plays video games. He creates them? You know, they got cards and shit. He's fucking whatever. He's strong. He makes his own pops. You know what I mean? One of them guys. So, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Off this guy while he's in the bathroom. He turned 21. Like he don't talk to people. Let's order a drink to the girl on his back. He comes back down. He sits down. The girl comes up. She goes, you ordered me this drink?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now the two guys are like, why didn't we order this bitch the fucking beer? You know what I mean? Like fuck, if it was this easy, this girl's hot, and she's talking to this loser, this guy's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? You're leaving with her? Yeah, her place around the corner is what's coming up. Oh wow. So this guy leaves with the girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, she wanted that to happen and that's why she was praying on a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, a lot of those people in that time working at that place. This woman is a sick fuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always right there, bro. That's some wild shit. Best part about it? I go to college my freshman year. Kid tries to tell me the same story. Kid, I'm eating college.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know they exist because you can google that shit and you know it's out there. And you guys are sick fucks. There's something wrong with you. I put you almost in the same category as, you know, a pedophile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never. But when I used to manage a Hooters, there used to be a guy dude, he used to pay girls to come step all over him. Right? And he got really off on it. And that was all that happened. And I know that that's all that happened. A lot of these chicks went and did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to manage a Hooters, right? So like I have this posse of chicks in 2011 and I don't hook up with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I use them as a promoter in New York City. Right. So I take all the girls with me when the fucking shit closes down at one or two and we go to fucking out in New York City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could have been exposed for a lot of things. One time a buffalo stripper aired me out on a bullshit lie. She, uh, she was a wrestling fan. She came up to me right away when I walked into this place and I kinda just steered west of this bitch, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. You're a stripper. I'm in a strip club. You're a big wrestling fan. This could get dicey. So let me just stay the fuck away from you. I ended up with some other chick on my lap and talking to her and the girl that was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, beyond that, uhm, you know, there was other people with the company who had charges pending on them. Real charges. I had never even gotten a phone call. Never even gotten a phone call from police. So there's people that are under contract, that are just not on TV, that are not getting brought to TV, but are still getting paid to sit at home until they're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So their charges are up and the law does do justice and then if they're found innocent, maybe they get a job back. If they're found guilty, they definitely don't. But maybe they get their job back, maybe they don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we've seen that happen to a lot of wrestlers when this shit hit the fan with me, you have to understand. I'm on TMZ bro with the title walking out of nightclubs in Hollywood with the weekend. You know, I'm just showboating Ric Flair style on like any other wrestler. Vince McMahon loved it. Loved it. Because I get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Branding. I'm a bad guy now. I got this title. I'm a heel. When I was a wrestler in the WWE, I wore shirts like this, right? Said certified G because if you're in the audience, you can go out and buy that shirt and wear it too and be just like me. But when I'm a bad guy and I got this title, I'm wearing Gucci, bro. You cannot afford this jacket. You little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you ain't making the money I'm making. I'm the champ, dawg. I'm wearing Gucci slippers, Gucci jacket, you know, fucking Supreme, you know, everything. Hypebeast, boom, out the yin-yang. I'm the first wrestler doing this shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they let me get away with it. They don't let a lot of guys do that. You walk out there with a Gucci logo or a Jumpman logo on there, they're going to be like, what the fuck, get out of here. But I kind of just set the precedent, like, I'm going to, I'm going to wear this shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and this is the way it's gonna be. I'm gonna drip. I'm gonna drip. I'm gonna wear different Jordans every week. I'm gonna wear fucking Gucci. I'm gonna wear this shit. It plays into my character. You have to let me know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, uh, hotel rooms paid for unless you're doing an appearance, uh, for them that is non wrestling. So meaning like if I did a boys and girls club or something or make a wish foundation that weekend on my schedule, I would get my hotel room paid for that night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Boston to New York. You go to a media day at 7 a.m. all day and then you go hit the road and then you have a wrestling match and then you go drive to Philadelphia the next day. You know, do it again. Quite a racket they have going there, huh? It's the greatest monopoly in entertainment history and I am actually, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's gangster. I'm not a guy who hates on it. I think if you could use the system, see where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The flaws are and use it to your benefit so that you could provide a wrestler with an independent contract to not give him health insurance or anything. But then also say we don't owe you health insurance and you have an exclusivity clause so you can't wrestle anywhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How they get away with it? They got lawyers on retainer out the yin yang and they got contracts that have been chopped up and they'll bring you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, to court for a year. Can you fucking afford that? No. I respect, I think Vince McMahon is a gangster. I think that shit is G. I think what he did, I just looked at it and I was like how the fuck, when I get out,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do I do it now? And that's why we're on the phone calling out Logan Paul and Jake Paul and fucking with Nitro Circus and potentially having a wrestling match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, with Big Cass and I, for the first time in over two years, trying to, you know, reinvent how the system's paid. The guys who are in there risking their lives for your entertainment, those are the guys who should be getting paid more. I've been out there on Monday Night Raw, and the person in the front row got paid more money than I did to wrestle that night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just, a guy and his daughter bought $1500 seats for the front row, $2000 seats and I got paid $500 to get my ass kicked that night.

[Assistant] Because TV production costs a lot more money than the live event. So I usually get paid more on a live event on Friday, Saturday, Sunday than I do at TV on Monday. But the price of admission, the chairs, and just all the, you see this billion dollar


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fucking machine and the wheels are always gonna keep turning. So it's either you understand it and get out and use it to your advantage as opposed to bitching and complaining about it. Like how do I?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm not trying to be an all out wrestler anymore. That is not my goal. That was once my goal and I achieved it in spades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To do everything I ever wanted in wrestling. Now I'm trying to take that global brand marketing like we talked about with The Rock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, like I want to act in some of them, you know what I'm saying? But not all of them. I have an interest as a writer. I went to college for writing. I wrote for the school newspaper. I have fucking weird, you know, uh, interests like, like Graham Hancock and, and you know, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fucking crazy ancient exoteric knowledge, just, I go down wormholes of conspiracy, uh, and I just look at the infrastructure that was created in the WWE.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how they managed to create this monopoly. It's a very interesting time because we have more billionaires investors who are creating new wrestling promotions that just created a deal with TNT, uhm, and Ted Turner. I don't know what exactly their schedule is going to be like and how that's going to correlate with the WWE.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's competitor and that's the first blood that they've had in a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was the first guy that Barry took on in a long time in pro wrestling. He currently represents Goldberg, Chris Jericho, good old JR, uhm, Mick Foley. He represented Jesse Ventura back in the 90s, Triple H he represented for 10 years, Stone Cold at a certain point. He got all these guys paid back and forth when there was, when there was, you know, competition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's, you know, book your own show. Very true. And cut the middleman out. And uh, I got, you know, I, I, I,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spent a long time making the connections to do a lot of things over the past year and a half and music more importantly than wrestling. Cause I had no desire to get back into wrestling. It wasn't until I saw my tag team partner who had a real life falling out with Big Gassener. When me and him broke up on TV, we broke up in real life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and it's well publicized that we didn't like each other for two years. We didn't talk, but I got fired when he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he had a health scare and he had a seizure on a show where he nearly died. Dude, seven foot tall, you hit the ground, hit your head. And he, uh, got out of shape and it was a shell of himself. And I was like, God damn bro, when I saw that, you know, the human inside of you, uh, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was when I got in the car and I drove to the hospital to see him. Uhm, and after that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, in Madison Square Garden when we came back for the first time together and that's what it was all about for me. Uhm, I had no desire to get back into wrestling, I really didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless it was the right situation. And the perfect situation is exactly that. Madison Square Garden, the first time ever. Controversial shit. Me and Big Cash showing up. We haven't seen, been seeing with each other for two years. That's a huge opportunity. Now what do you do with that? Exactly. So we've shot TV pilots before we even did this shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We shot, uh, stuff for, you know, a lot of different interviews, a lot of different outlets. Me, uhm, really pushing my music. Cass really pushing wrestling. Cass still wants to get on the road and wrestle a lot. I don't have it in me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't. Right. Dude, it just, it beats you up, man. And, uh, I give all the credit to the world. They're some of the toughest guys in the world, man. But to me, it's just not worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been knocked out cold on pay-per-view and broken my leg in the ring. If those two things happen to you and your mother's sitting at home crying, can't be told if you're alive, you wake up in an MRI in a hospital, no one in the world knows if you're alright, you could hear a pin drop in that arena. Dude, that's when I put myself in the studio. It was that very week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very true. Bars, I go into a bar, drinks get served to me, food gets brought out to me and I meet women and it's love. And I reciprocate that energy because I'm open. There's a lot of wrestlers that walk around with their fucking chest out that don't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I appreciate all my fans. It's like, it's the difference between understanding who Eric is, I'm Eric, and Enzo, the amore, the wrestler, and then Enzo the rapper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know. Duality of man. Duality of man. That's duality of life. Healing baby face, bro. What do you got?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out now. Right. We just dropped an exclusive, uh, with Smoke DZA remix. Wow, he's supposed to come on sometime soon too. Ezzy. You need to get Smokey in here. He's the real life Smokey, like if you've seen the movie Friday. I got weed off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuck yeaah, I would love to work with Kaz baby. Kaz XL. Free agency. Or Jake Paul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steve Bannon calls me and just introduces himself as someone who is very interested in the works of Strauss and Howe, uh, Generations in the Fourth Turning, and who's making a movie about them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One part of the conversation that I vividly remember is about the possibility of a huge war comparable in scope to the Second World War as part of the coming crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wanted to get me to say on camera that I thought it was likely to occur. He wasn't implied about it, but the thing I remember him saying, well look, you know, we have the American Revolution, then we have the Civil War, that's bigger. Then we have the Second World War, that's even bigger. So, what's the next one going to be like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here today to remind you guys that you can buy memberships for $4.99. And we've got an overtime topic today that I definitely remembered, but I won't tease it until the end of the show. And you can get, we have a new Mikey McNuggets emoji. Earl and I are trying to get on the emoji train. So the more members we have, the more emojis we can have. Give us an Earl R emoji. We've been waiting for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, without further ado, we can get into our first topic here today, Mike, while you guys rank the position groups for the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that was a great wrap up guys. Appreciate it. And then I just want to take a minute to remind everybody that we're almost to 25,000 subscribers and that's a huge milestone for us. We've been around a little bit over a year and we love the support that you guys give to us. And as we get ready for our next topic here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanna say thank you. In our next topic, you guys can take it away, we're gonna be talking about Deshaun Watson's contract in comparison to some of the other quarterbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey guys, so our community poll today is on this topic, and whenever we do a community poll, it's brought to you by PCC Airfoils, looking for a job with career advancement and great benefits. PCC Airfoils is a leading manufacturer in Northeast Ohio.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah guys, I just want to remind everybody that you can keep hearing these kinds of conversations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After hours on Behind the Glass with me, Mike and Earl. We love doing it once a week. These two get into fights. I usually occasionally chime in and laugh at them. It's a good time. Uh, we had this conversation last night as well. If you want to go check it out, we do it usually on Wednesdays now. Seems to be our normal day. But we'll keep you guys posted if it changes. And before we go into our next topic here, thank you for watching Behind the Glass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't let us down. We really want to get in that and you guys will also get text messages updates every day for 99 a month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah guys, I just want to remind everybody before we move on to our next topic that we are close to 25,000 subscribers. So tell your friends, tell your family. Everybody should subscribe to the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. Gee, I have a question real quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know, do we get a play button for 25,000, or is that 50,000, 100,000, and a million?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah guys, before we get into our brand new segment, I just want to remind you that you can all see Behind the Glass, uh, every, pretty much every Wednesday night now at 7. It's me, Mike and Earl. What you laughing at? Cause I look behind the glass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earl, why are you interrupting my teases? Come on, man. You're a professional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can move on to our next topic. Thanks for watching Behind the Glass. Mike, do you want to set this next thing up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so the next one is pizza wings and burgers and director Steve put it as pizza burger wings, which is just wrong. Wings are at the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so the chat real quick, let me see here. It's looking like pizza and wings are obviously the top two. They're with us. I got a couple for pizza being at the top, a couple of pizza being, uh, pizza being in the middle. Nobody's putting burgers at the top. We got II with pizza burger wings, just like Steve, your band, sorry. And yeah, that's our chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright guys, so the next one, Steelers Ravens Bengals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so a lot of the chat's just refusing to participate in this, and I don't- Bangles are at the top, but, uh, Director Steve said if we're ranking shit, Steelers have to be number one. So, good joke there by Director Steve. Steve, you wanna take the next one here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh sure she can die quicker. Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, or Jim Brown?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The few leaders who have survived have no way of openly opposing the new regime. That's what they called us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Mane's killers. If we don't stop him here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He may not even be in country, but keep an eye out just in case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they still don't even count PMCs in official death tolls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With SOP out of the picture, private militaries needed a new edge on the market. We got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it makes you wonder, where Desperado find these guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most likely platoon commanders carry correct ID data for the gate. Use enhanced mode to figure out who to hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Well, just get into the sewer system ASAP. Hopefully anyone who notices you will just mind their own business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to the intel from our client, the lab's been dumping illegal waste into those sewers. FYI. They're also involved with the cartels in human trafficking. Allegedly, anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need you to infiltrate the lab and find out everything you can. Of course, you'll have to find it first. We still don't know the exact location.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not really. Maybe something related to all the people they're trafficking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First things first, though. Find a way into that lab. Oh, right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It says here, the locals say black crocodiles live in those sewers. So you know, uh, watch out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, I'll send a couple agents for him. You just focus on getting into that lab. If what he said is true about the organs, we need to hurry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, the cyborgs you've been fighting, did they seem like they might be kids?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, what? Desperado's just doing the surgeries there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] True. There could still be a bunch of kids they haven't touched yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, I knew I'd seen that guy before. Steven Armstrong. As in Colorado Senator Steven Armstrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And get this, two years ago, a federal grand jury investigated his ties to a certain private


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to mention the single largest investor in military cyborg R&D in the world. Guess that answers the question of who's backing Desperado.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Colorado is in America, and America has these things called laws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe you're familiar with the lesson plan. The same regiment you went through in Liberia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the last time, let it go Courtney. Least Armstrong will never be president.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know what? At least these kids will get a decent education.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't extend, and I'm sure he'll get asked about it at media day, and I'm sure he'll have a very good answer, and maybe even a hedge answer, and uhm, that'll be interesting, but he is, he knows how to handle these situations before, he handled it before in Utah, I don't expect him to make any proclamation, I expect him to kick the ball down the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One by one we're finding the illegal immigrant drug dealers, gang members, and killers, and removing them from our country, and they will not let them back in. They're not coming back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Funny story real quick, so when I was in high school, went to Collingwood High School, and we had a swimming class, uh, Coach Vanna, shout out to Coach Vanna, and I'm taking the class, I had these long ass flippers on, with the board, to try to learn how to tread water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I go across with the board, everything is fine. I come back without the board, and I panic. I try to stand up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the flipper is kinda getting caught. So I'm kinda going crazy up under the water, can't stand up on my feet. And that's it for you. And I thought I was gonna drown. I was in three feet of water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a person that believes in affords somebody as many chances as you feel necessary, right? Because people bump their head once, twice, three times, four times, the whole nine. It's not something that just because somebody makes a mistake once,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they're gonna get it right the second time. And so, I think anything that any man or woman wants is just an opportunity to prove themselves, an opportunity to rebound from any mistakes they may have made, etc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if Andrew Berry keeps the open mind to continue to afford people the opportunity to change the narrative or to redeem themselves, then kudos to Andrew Berry because it shows that he cares more about these people as, as men and not just players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, I think that's a huge component to it. When it comes to Perry Yaw and Winfrey Jay, I'm with you. I think after the situation to April, they had a conversation and he let them know, like, listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any more BS happens between here and training cap, you're gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is your opportunity to show me that you really want to do this. And unfortunately, you know, he let the situation


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get out of hand, and it cost him a spot to even compete for a roster spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] on his team. So kudos to Andrew Berry for keeping an open mind to continue to look at guys no matter, you know, what their background is because you gotta award somebody a chance. And I think in his position, the best thing for him to do is just learn from the, you know, how to go about the approach necessarily next time, but still take the chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but you know how some people say, well, I believe in second chances.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not me, you can bump your head, and this is just my perspective in life, right? Not necessarily sports. You can bump your head five, ten times, right? If I love you, if I believe in you, if I still have faith that you can overcome,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'ma give you another chance. And another chance. Now in sports, yeaah, you can only go so far with that because this is a business. And then you also have to show, show that attitude as a reflection of leadership. Right. You got to worry about the other people in that locker room. And I think it was smart for him to cut him right away because he got cut the same day that the rookies reported.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to me that sent a message to the rookies that this is how we're going to conduct ourselves. That no stuff like this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say this, two things on this. I was born in the inner city of Cleveland, still live in the inner city of Cleveland. So to your point, you are absolutely right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a lot of things that's going on in the inner city of Cleveland right now. It is not the most safe place. No. I pay attention to how I move. If I got the... Do you stay away from there? I stay away from... Intentionally? Yea, intentionally. I know what's going on. Right. I know at first we've had conversations off air. We have. I know what's going on. I know what's up. And so like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if you gon' be out, you need to be a little bit more aware, but it's best that you not, because there ain't nothing but trouble gon' find.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we're targets, they're targets. But the second part of this, and you know, we talked about this on the behind the glass podcast and I became very vulnerable. You know, this is a safe, safe space for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know, I struggle periodically throughout life with my temper and with my anger. Right. And it's been something that I've over, I've came a long way. Right. But I'm still smart enough to know I still got a long way to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so. So you don't put yourself in situations that could be volatile. Right. But you talked about the trap was set and you know, Mary Kay Cadbury reported what the, what the young lady said to him that kind of pissed him off. Reprehensible what she said to him. Triggered, triggered him. He went chasing after it, et cetera. And I know, I think Mike has said, you know, he couldn't fathom how somebody's saying something to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the thing. There's a deeper rooted issue with Perion that might make him feel like and I don't know him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it might make him feel like that he always has to be on the defense. Right. That he always either physically or verbally feel like he has to protect himself. Right. And so for me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My whole narrative has been for him. I don't know about football for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you're still a young man, and hopefully you live a long life. And unless you learn some emotional stability, emotional integrity,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That type of reaction to every time somebody say something or do something is going to land you in jail or dead. And I'm not speaking out of turn. I'm speaking as somebody who struggles with this, right? Sure. And understands that, okay, if I continue to conduct myself this way, I'm going to lose a lot more than just my career. You're the one that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what I feel for them. See, a lot of times when people do things wrong, a lot of times when people do things to kind of like, make other people feel some type of way, they immediately try to dismiss the human. But I was raised on, dislike the action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, you know, I understand it. I can relate to him in certain aspects, right? Yeah. Like, you know, he got it out the trenches, as we say, Jay. Sure. Like, he had to bust his ass and overcome a lot to get here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's how I feel about me sitting in this scene. I had to bust my ass and overcome a lot to get here. And so when you understand that, you have to be mindful of how you move because how, how hard you work to get here, it can be gone just like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when things like that happen to other people, I use it as a sign of somebody speaking to me or giving me another example of what not to do. And I truly, just truly hope like, you know, he can overcome these personal things that he's dealing with, get another opportunity to play football, whether it's in the NFL or another league. But most importantly, man, just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do the things necessarily that can have you on this earth for a long time. Before you move on, how the uncle that lived to 103.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we buried my great aunt, I think she was like 96, 97. At the repass, he told me the key to getting my age is knowing when to walk away from BS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, no, that's very good advice. As men, we tend to try to always poke our chest out and let it know, like, you know, we ain't to be played. Sure. Sometimes you just gotta let them think you can be played with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm about a two or three. You're not concerned then? I think, honestly, I evaluate the situation from where we at right now. We didn't get DeAndre Hopkins, okay cool. But I listened to Andrew Berry's press conference yesterday, Kevin Stefanski's, and more importantly, Deshaun Watts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Deshaun Watson says something that's still in my head. We got a talented group. I understand that y'all just don't know who their names are yet. When you look at the guys that's in question, first and foremost, shout out to Marquis Goodwin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blood clots is a scary thing. You know, so as far as just life goes, I pray that he recovers and if he can contribute to the Browns this year, fine. If he can't, I totally get it because we understand what his situation is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't look at Anthony Schwartz as somebody that was going to make this football team anyway. I didn't either. I didn't look at him as somebody that was going to have an impact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I visualized the wide receiver room, he was never somebody that I even had on the depth chart. Yeaah, and I'm with you on that. Yeaah, so I'm not going to look at that like, okay, it's a big deal. When I watch the interviews, right, one of the things that I learned when I worked for the city of Cleveland, I took a management class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they talked about the biggest sign of communication is your body language.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing about Kevin Stefanski or Andrew Barry's body language.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, even somebody I always talk about, Jordan Atkins, the tight end, who Mary Kay Cabot talked about over this past week. Yeaah, he's a tight end, but he's more like a big body wide receiver. And so when I look at those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And so when I look at the guys who actually are experiencing some injuries right now, no, it's not pause for concern because if it's just a tweet for Mari, it's just a tweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last time I checked, Elijah Moore is fine. Donovan Peoples Jones is fine. Every single tight end that we're going to depend on, they are doing okay. The rookie seems to be impressive in half chemistry with Deshaun Watson. So yea, it might suck to not have the speed of marking is a good one, but I never looked at Anthony Schwartz as somebody that was going to make this team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can read body language pretty well. So like, the words you use matter, but your body temperament says a lot. And they didn't seem like they were overly concerned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I do, Andrew Berry said this yesterday, this is the opportunity to evaluate the roster that you put together in the spring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Training camp will show you, you know what I mean, because you're not gonna get it all the way right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think if something was to happen to somebody that they believe is going to be a major contributor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think Andrew Barry has at least proven that he can go out here and make a deal if he absolutely has to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not taking that away, G, but maybe I'm just a little bit more optimistic with you when I look at it like this. You can have all the speed in the world. Your 40 time can be whatever it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you got game speed and when you're that type of route runner who can actually, you know, run your way open, now all of a sudden you look faster than what your 40 time is. And so when I look at the depth of the pass catchers, forget just the wide receiver room, right? You brought in Jordan Atkins, a guy who Deshaun Watson has previous experience with. A guy that he trusts in the red zone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then you still got Harrison Bryant, who the jury is honestly still out on. We know what his college career was. He has yet to show it in the league. But when I look at this collective group, I can't sit up here in Harpong last year when everybody is telling me the entire offense is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I'm a thousand percent behind Deshaun Watson, if I'm being all the way honest with you, Jay. A thousand percent behind him. I think everybody is. I think he seemed calm. I think he seemed confident. I think he spoke authentically. I think he was as transparent as he could be. Uhm, you know, we went back and forth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's my thing, and this is just my opinion. When you make your mind up that you don't like somebody,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were allowed to talk about it. You're absolutely right. Nobody is saying that the meeting was not allowed to talk about what was going on. You have an obligation to do so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at the same time, you also have a choice. If you wanted to make the choice to actually do research into the history of Deshaun Watson and talk about that as well as the other stuff, you could have done so. But you chose not to do so. And to me, all I'm saying is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I get that. But that's how they work. And I'm starting to learn as I grow in this business and I understand everybody go about things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and gee, I let you get yours up, but, but to your point, and this is where I agree with you on this, right? I use stuff like this in the analogy of a plane. There's over a thousand flights that take off every single day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or how Deshaun Watson has put in so work to be prepared. He talked about, if I'm sitting at home, and I ain't got nothing to do, I'm going to Berea to go watch film. And Kevin Stephanski periodically would walk in like, what are you doing here?

[Assistant] You're not supposed to be here. And so I think that people who don't like Deshaun Watson, they love talking about the one plane that crashes and they never want to talk about the planes that land safely. And I understand where he was coming from when he talks about his history. I've been a huge fan of Deshaun Watson since Clinton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm 35. I watch a lot of college football. I understand who he is. Jay, the history of doing community work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. He's been, you know, his story's unbelievable. He's been doing that. But when he was going through everything that he was going through, again, I understand what the narrative was, but you still have a choice. You could have talked about that narrative and you could have talked about other things if you wanted to. And they don't. Nobody

[Assistant] I'll say this and I'll move on for it and be totally done, whether he was right, wrong, guilty or not. We all know as men and as just humans throughout life.

[Assistant] If you really like dig down and go through your storm, you can grow through the things that you go through. Sure. And one of the things that people, one of the factors in healing that people always kind of overlook is time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if he's used his time wisely to grow and be more wise and make better choices, then as time continues to pass, we get further away from it. But I'm with you, man. I want to talk about football. I do too. This is one hell of a football player when we see him at his best. That's exactly right. That's what I want to talk about.

[Assistant] I was waiting on this because Jay is my baseball guy, you know me man, I'm a casual fan. From where I sit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looked like him and Josh Naylor were trying to play hero ball. They were, and it just looked like that they were trying to, to step inside of this, this instead of just, they were, they already


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think Jay laid it out perfectly, you know, when you go back to the beginning of the season, you were pretty much counting on Shane Bieber being Shane Bieber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's just McKinsey doing his thing. And so then when you call up guys who started off


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the season in the minor leagues, of course they are on a pinch cowl. I think the Guardians used eight pitches out of the bullpen yesterday, and so now it has me wondering that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever these young dudes pitch except for Bobby the other day, he had 8Ks. Bobby was phenomenal. That dude was phenomenal. But like when these guys are on the mound and they're getting their starts, it's almost like now I've preset in my head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we're gonna use at least four or five people out the bullpen because you can't even trust anybody to stay consistent coming out of the bullpen lately. And this is the second time to where the guardians could have swept a series against a team that had a winning record and they failed to do so. Our only sweep this year came, it seems like, I think it was Kansas City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for me, you know, when I seen the rundown, Mike, I did actually look at the rundown, but when he talked about the attendance being up,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to think again from a casual standpoint over the last two months. Who's coming to town, right? We had the Atlanta Braves with Ronald Acuna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had the, uh, L.A. Angels with Shoa Ohtani and Mike Trout. You know, we just had, uh, with the Phillies just left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Dodgers is coming, and so I think a lot of the attendance being up as of late really don't have anything to do with the Guardians. It has a lot to do with the opponents that they're playing, and the big name players on that. But not only that, to me, this is just my personal opinion, Jay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's 1A1B when it comes to the in-person fan experience between the Guardians and the Cavaliers. Yeaah. And the Guardians put on an amazing fan experience. And there's nothing like a Friday night, the weather is good, and you're catching them. They're fireworks Friday. That is a dollar doll.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's gonna, that's gonna draw people in just to want to spend some time with their friends, their family, just to go kick it. But then I think the other part of it is, okay, who, who, who has been the opponent? And so I think lately when you see this increases in attendance, I think that is because of those two factors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, one through three, I think it would be the opponents that's been coming into town. That has something to do with it. The in-game, uh, you know, fan experience, and then I think the actual team would. That would be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta understand, man, I grew up in a time where the brows wasn't here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cast wasn't that good. My mother let me stay up to watch the 95 World Series to 97 World Series. I used to have like this sports fandom so bad that I would cry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Muni lot, I'll go to the Muni lot. I think that a football and, and person experience. AFC Championship? It's the worst. Just hear me out. That ain't the Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I go to a high school game before I go to a program. That's just me. And I pass season tickets to NFL games. So I just don't like the fan experience in person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, I remember seeing Oscar hit the home run last year in the playoff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Walking up to the screen. I don't know if you like bloody at the head or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they did good in that home run derby, man. I want to see them up against my boy Spider, though. I want to see, I want to see them up against Spider.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no, it was a game. It was a game of any bounce outside. Not even any bounce. Oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That got jumped, to be honest with you. He got Zim Brown, he got Corey Kluber. His third pick was, uh...
