[Assistant] We have to agree that it is really a real thing and that we can comment on it. I think it is a real thing. I don't think this changes anything about what we already


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, I, people say this don't count G Bush. It was a different thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, Deshaun Watson got that after you was sitting down. And it wasn't that they rewarded him for sitting out and having bad, whatever. He sat out and what happened was, you look at the Browns, and a lot of teams, a lot of teams don't plan on going 7 or something, 4 or something. To some teams, that's unacceptable. We're not doing that. No go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when you get to the offseason in Lamar Jackson or Deshaun Watson or anybody that's sitting there, you're emotional after the season. You start adding zeroes. You start looking around. You're like, well, I ain't even got no draft picks like this. Who's on the draft board? There's some good quarterbacks. I don't even like that quarterback. Give me Lamar Jackson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it starts rolling like that. And I think Jim Ursay, when you, you cannot underestimate the impact of losing a guy who is Andrew Luck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you, if you go, if he, if he says today silently, I went and got Deshaun Watson's agent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His, his, his, his price of getting the chances then went up to about 75%. Then he at least gets his money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so mine was, and this is Cleveland Brown, uhm, the Terrell Prior Contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Terrell Pryor, he comes in, he's a quarterback. Hugh Jackson says, we're going to play you at receiver. Never played receiver before. Had a thousand yards. They was giving him the ball and Wildcat had a really nice year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so Terrell Pryor's like, they offered him a contract for like 32 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terrell Wyatt was like, no, I'm turning that down. I want a shorter deal and I want more money. And they were like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he ended up signing to the, uh, Washington, uh, commanders of the race games at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For like 12, 14 million and they was offering him 32. They offered it, took it off the table, say, nah, get up out of here. Never really, never really panned out the rest of the time, but I just always, I always look, do you guys have a weird one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's something like the Allen Iverson deal. Allen Iverson got, they paid him his upfront money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a man, as a man, when you get an MVP, I think sometimes he feeling like, like, yo, they're trying to marginalize this MVP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like when you say MVP and Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and all these other guys, that's a certain level of cache. You trying to play me like Deshaun Washington and oh boy.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Saudi Arabia is a state that needs to be destroyed, a state that needs to be, uh, eradicated really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what you're seeing with the Saudis in Yemen is the building their capacity to project force.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so, oh and here, we need to go ahead and do the report now. Give me one second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, they were in Richmond, Virginia this weekend. The Xfinity Series, Toyota Care 250.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's very small track. One of the, I think it's like 0.7 miles. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Chandler Smith, uh, won his first ever Xfinity race. And he led a race-high 83 laps, bringing home the victory for Karluk Racing as back-to-back Xfinity wins. Derrick Cross finished 10th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Daniel Hamrick finished 11, so it was a solid day in the Xfinity series for Carla Grayson. Not so good on Sunday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, the Toyota Otis 400 didn't really treat us that great. AJ Allmendinger finished 27th and Justin Haley finished 31st. Yeaah, that's a rough day. NASCAR is off this week due to Easter weekend. They resume the week after that at Martinsville. Oh good. You like that track?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's another short one, right? I love short tracks. Yeah. Martinsville, Bristol, uh, Richmond. I love all the short tracks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, that's my bad. So going forward, our Browns talk is brought to you by Lincoln Electric. Lincoln Electric now hiring for great jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I disagree with Mike a little bit on that, but just based on the numbers you said, I don't think Tyreek Hill's skillset kind of separates him because Will Fuller doesn't have the same skillset as Tyreek Hill.

[Assistant] I hope so. I hear a lot of people say, you know, Chubb is getting old or Chubb is going to wear down. I've always had this, this, this take, uh, I think he's in that class with Adrian Peterson. I hope so. There's no way to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm searching for content and I see something that just struck a nerve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People went crazy about this. I said that the brown should adapt a real primary logo. I feel like the orange helmet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is associated with a rich, winning culture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That history of Browns that won four NFL championships, etc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the ravens. So yeaah, we kept the name, the colors, and the records, and all that is cool. But that orange helmet with no logo...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was for people that was winning championships. That was for Hall of Fame players. And then if you look at this team since 1999, we've had two owners, we've had 10 general managers, we have 12 head coaches, including interim head coaches. They've changed everything else. So it was just a thought that I had. So I'm asking you all, do you think the Brown should adapt a real logo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so for a few different reasons. I think just like it went from Cleveland Brown Stadium to First Energy Stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're making money off of naming rights. I think that the younger generation can identify more with the team that has a logo. And I think they can do a lot with merchandise sales, not that they do bad in that department now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was huge, that was huge monster. You gotta earn your stripes. Yeah. How'd that work out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's great. All right. So a couple of things we need to get to before we get the final takes. Man, again, this 12 o'clock lunch hour is brought to you by Karluk Racing, Northeast Ohio's NASCAR team. Shout out to Karluk Racing. We did get a few more super chats in.

[Assistant] Hi, I'm Norm Abram. Welcome to the New Yankee Workshop, where today we're going to take you to another era, an earlier time, where many young boys and girls had a paper route and a little red wagon to cart them around in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll show you how to build this classic next, right here on the New Yankee Workshop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today we're in Rochester, New York at the Strong Museum, which is a collection of collections of ordinary objects used in the household and at the workplace by Americans since 1820.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the more popular exhibits is right here. One History Place. It's where children three to seven years old can pretend they're in the Victorian age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, the kitchen. And a nice work table. Maybe we can build one of those at the shop. And look at this, a black iron stove. My grandmother used to have one just like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this, I guess, represents the attic. Grandma's attic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now down here is the Victorian parlor, outfitted in all the period pieces, including some toys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the museum was kind enough today to bring out of storage this wagon so I could show it to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wagons like this were made in toy factories starting about 1875. Now this one's a little younger, about 1920. They also had a copy of the original trade catalog that came with it. And I love the first line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They haven't done any better solving some of the problems than we have. The handle still is in the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And where the handle pivots, can you imagine how many fingers have been pinched in there? But they did get the wheels right. Wooden wheels with metal banding. I don't even know how to start building one of those. But there are some good ideas and I love the proportions. I think I'll check it out a little closer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it turns on a dime. And the fit and finish is pretty good. Well, what do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of our version of the old fashioned child's wooden wagon. It's made out of oak and plywood. Has some removable sides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they just sold as replacement wheels. They have ball bearings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also here's a couple pieces of threaded rod, some nuts and washers. And I did spend quite a bit of time in my hardware store picking up all the pieces that I needed. The handle is fashioned from a piece of oak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And is attached to a one inch oak dowel that leads down to the steering system that even the guys in Detroit might want to take a look at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there is one warning, there are no breaks, so use with caution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if you'd like to build one of these for your child, or your grandchild, or even yourself, a measure drawing and a materials list is available. And you'll hear more about that before this program ends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd also like to take a moment to talk about shop safety. Be sure to read, understand, and follow all the safety rules that come with your power tools.


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And remember this, there is no more important safety rule than to wear these safety glasses. Now to get started on today's project, I want to take these four pieces of oak which will form the sides of the wagon. And the first step is to put a dado


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've also set up a gauge block to position it in the right place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now here's the whole bass, sort of loosely put together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here's a piece of half inch MDO plywood, which I'm going to use for the bottom. This plywood will be supported in the rails.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a half inch dado that runs all the way around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the dado in the short pieces can run end to end, but if I run the dado on the long pieces all the way through, it's going to show. So I want to use what's known as a stopped dado. So I've set up my router table with a half inch straight cutting bit. I've adjusted the fence to be the right distance away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're to remove it so that the data won't show beyond the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this wagon will probably sit outside in the weather where it's going to take a lot of abuse. So to hold the sides firmly together, I've installed a rust resistant threaded rod that runs side to side with a nut and washer on each end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that also sits in a little dado so that it's recessed and out of the way. The dado is 3 sixteenths by 3 sixteenths. So to make that, I'm going to use the table saw blade alone, which is an eighth of an inch wide, make one pass, then move the fence a sixteenth and make the second pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The washer and the nut for the threaded rod is recessed inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To do that, I'm going to use a 5 eighths inch Forstner bit and make a quarter inch counter board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The through hole for the rod is made with a 730 seconds drill bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now I've set my drill press up with my mortising attachment and outfitted it with the 3 eighths inch square chisel. And that allows me to make the mortises in the rails that will receive the stakes for the removable sides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I just slide the threaded rod through the assembly, put on a washer, and a nut, and drive the whole thing tight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now with the base of the wagon completed, I'm ready to start working on the rear suspension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the first piece is this piece of plywood which needs a dado cut in it to recess the axle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might have noticed I didn't even bother setting up my dado head. Just moved the fence once. That's all it took.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now using my jigsaw with a metal cutting blade, I've made a 90 degree notch in this channel aluminum. And now what I'm gonna do is just bend it around the piece of plywood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've just marked the dado, which is also the location of the axle on the channel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I need to drill a half inch hole for the axle. So I've set up my step drill and the drill press. Each step is a sixteenth of an inch bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now on the top of the channel that goes under the wagon, I need two quarter inch holes to bolt it in place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now I just need to mark the piece of plywood so I can remove a little material so it'll clear the bolts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the rear axle is braced with some aluminum angle. One at each rear wheel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are two of them and they happen to be mirror images of one another. I've laid out and cut one and now I'm set up to cut the next one. I'm gonna make this cut first just using my handheld jigsaw and a metal cutting blade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll just bend the end that attaches to the bottom of the wagon about 45 degrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now there's a hole for the axle. And now I need one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For where it gets attached to the bottom of the base.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mark out for my holes at the lower end of the brace, drill them, and fasten it to the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a special nut that I picked up at the hardware store, which is readily available, a locking nut. There's a little nylon ring in there and that helps keep it on so it won't spin off as the wheel turns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's take another look at our prototype and check out the front suspension. It consists of a oak post, solid oak, through which a bolt passes, then there's a series of washers, then this plywood yoke,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then underneath that, the axle assembly and the bolt connects all these pieces together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now here are two pieces of solid oak that I've glued and screwed together to make the post. I want to chamfer the edges, and I'll do that at the table saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the yoke pivots underneath the oak block with a couple washers as a spacer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if the washers are loose, eventually they're just going to wear their way through the oak and the plywood. So I want to fasten them in place with a couple screws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some screws secure the post to the bottom of the wagon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've knocked off the corners at a 30 degree angle. I'm gonna wrap the edges with the same aluminum channel that I used on the back axle assembly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well that just about does it for today. Tomorrow we'll install the axle under that yoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put the handle on and then make the sides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I wanted to take a quick test drive this morning before you got here and test out the comfort of this handle. This is actually the second one I've made for the prototype and I think this is the one I'm going to stick with. It works pretty well. I'll show you how to build that in a minute but first we want to finish making the front suspension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've already taken the time to drill out another fender washer, which is gonna get attached to the top of the yoke. And that's now ready to be screwed in place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The axle for the front wheels passes through a solid piece of oak that's attached to the yoke. That means drilling a half inch hole almost 12 inches long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now here's the piece of stock set up in the drill press. It's difficult to hold a piece like this vertical. So I've installed some wooden clamps and also some other clamps to hold the whole assembly from sliding around. Now I'm going to start drilling part way through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The drill press only allows me to go about three inches or so with the travel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So to get more depth, I'm just gonna crank the whole assembly up, letting the drill bit go down through the part that I've already made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well I've used up all of that bit that I can. Problem is I'm not all the way through yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I could add this extender to the bit and drill all the way down, but I'm afraid it'll drift off, so I'm gonna disassemble it, turn it around, and use the same procedure to finish it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that's what I want. Now there's one more hole to drill in this piece, right in the center. Just misses the axle. And that's a bolt hole to secure it to the post.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's a good idea to chamfer all the edges to show. Makes it user friendly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the table saw, I've just nibbled away a little material on each end of this oak block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To account for the aluminum channel so it'll fit tightly to the MDO.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little bit of construction adhesive and some screws will fasten it in place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's see if we can put the front suspension together, starting with this 7 inch carriage bolt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then another fender washer as a spacer and to also make it turn more easily. And then the yoke assembly itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, another washer. And I'm going to put two nuts on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that I can lock them against one another so they won't come loose. Not too tight though, I want it to move easily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And using two wrenches we'll just lock it together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The axle and the wheels go on just like they did on the rear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to show you this little detail up front here. The handle is attached to the yoke with these oak blocks. And I want the grain running horizontally because that'll give it the most strength. We're pulling against it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I've laid out the two pieces on this larger piece of oak. First thing I want to do is knock off the corners. So over here at my miter box I've turned it to 45 degrees and I've installed a stop block to keep my hands way clear of the blade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that takes care of the hole for the through-bolt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that's a bolt hole to attach the block to the yoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That nibbling step that I just completed at the table saw was necessary so that the block will fit tightly on the MDO and clear the metal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I can drill the holes through and bolt them in place. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this is a piece of one inch oak dowel, which is going to form the shaft of the handle. I'm afraid it might split with all the movement down here at the yoke, so I'm going to slip a piece of one inch copper tubing over it, and then drill my hole through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now that's the pilot hole, now I'll enlarge it to 3 eighths.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that takes care of the 3 eighths hole. I'm gonna drill one more hole at the top end of the copper pipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's just so that I can put a small bolt through to relieve the pressure on the big hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now installing the shaft to the yoke takes some pretty good hand-eye coordination. The idea is to get a washer on each side. So I'm going to use a short bolt to just hold this one in place for the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I'll use my longer through bolt and slip it through to one of the washers here. Now I gotta try to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Slip the whole thing together without losing the washers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think we're gonna get it. Now the bolt goes through and pushes the temporary one out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've laid out the handle on this piece of oak and just drilled a couple holes on the inside corners. Now I'm going to clamp it in my bench vise and cut out the rest of the inside with a jigsaw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that hole is a one inch hole that will receive the shaft. I'll show you what that hole is all about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That allows me to have the handle fit over the end of the shaft. Now I'm going to join


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The handle to the shaft with this iron dowel screw. So I'm going to have to drill a couple pilot holes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that's the dowel into the shaft. And now I should just have to spin on the handle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now for the side boards of the wagon. And they consist of stakes and slats. And I've set up to make the tenons on the bottom of the stakes. This cut first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I've lowered the saw to about a sixteenth of an inch to make these short shoulder cuts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The slats for the sideboards are made out of thin oak, which is not easy to find in a store so you have to cut it yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I did is actually split some three quarter inch stock right down the middle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The slats are attached to the stakes with screws, so I want to pre-drill and countersink for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, now that we got two of them, maybe we can race them, but not before we paint them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want the undercarriage of my wagon to disappear or lose it. So I'm gonna paint it a gloss black. I'm starting with a coated gray primer using a spray can with no fluorocarbons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now with the black, the undercarriage really starts to disappear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bed of the wagon I want to be a bright red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm starting out with a coat of latex acrylic primer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna show off the oak on the sideboards of the wagon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm gonna put on a couple coats of a marine super spar varnish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what do you think of the red? Too red? Not red enough? I dunno, I think it's just right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And check out my Bet Rivers podcast today, where I talk a lot about the world baseball classic. Next Wednesday, I'll be doing my MLB preview on my Bet Rivers podcast. Also, uh, NBA playoff picture and some, uh, NFL News and Notes today as well. All right, the bet today, you got it? We're sticking to the NBA and going with the Warriors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, obviously we talked about this yesterday a little bit, how the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's separated by two games. Yeah, you're right. It's four through twelve separate. I think it's three games now, but still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One sec. Either way I'm taking the Warriors, but I like them better obviously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Kyrie Irving also doubtful. Oh, and Kyrie is doubtful as well. So, obviously I like the Warriors chances. They have Steph Curry, and the Mavs might be without their two best players. So we'll go with the Warriors tonight on the road. That might be stealing. I mean, if both, if both


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He and I have had a couple of, I've never met the guy, he's never met me. Right. We've had a couple of like shots at each other on Twitter in the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't- the guy hasn't worked for anybody in the media perspe- like, he did at one point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he hasn't worked in the media like actively, as far as I know, unless something's changed, in like years. So I don't know how he has these connections. Maybe he does. I do think he is headquartered in Denver. So if he's gonna get anything right, it would be something connected to Denver. But I, I take anything he puts out there with a huge grain of salt because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever people have hyped up things he said before, he's usually wrong, so I don't trust it. Now, we did have one of our local reporters, and I'll give him a shout out, Brad Stainbrook, who I'd never heard of until about a year ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Greg Newsom is not in this conversation. Obviously this kid's got at least one solid connection with the Browns because he had that, that Hearst signing. So he's got to have somebody. So he says Newsom's not in any trade package or, or at least the Broncos haven't asked him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's also, there's also some supply and demand to it, right? Like who's got the hammer in the Jets Packers thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't imagine there's a price the Browns would pay that we would all be up in arms about. I understand, you know, people have made a big deal, he hasn't had a thousand yards, and that's fair. And for me, the new benchmark is at least 1,100 if not 1,200. But, he hasn't even had a thousand. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No doubt, alright, and our, our, my guy TA again put out some advanced stats on him that were really impressive. He's had no quarterback, right? In his first couple of years in Denver, they had nothing at quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This year, Russell Wilson was absolute trash. Worst he's ever been. Awful. So he, he's ha-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's had some injury issues. The other guys around him have been often injured. They had no running game last year, so the defense is completely focused on him. If you put him on a better team, with a better quarterback, with a better game plan, like to me, the upside for him


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, like he, I think he'd be a 14, 1500 yard receiver. Wow. I think he could be that good. Now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't pay a huge price because he hasn't been productive enough. However...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the Broncos don't like the ca- like, people keep comparing it to the Amari Cooper situation, like, Amari Cooper is more accomplished. Well, yes he is. But Amari accomplished- Amari Cooper was four years older than Jerry Judy is now when he got traded. The Cowboys felt they had to trade Cooper for cap reasons. The Broncos are not in that position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's, and at least right now, Judy's making a lot less money than Cooper, you'd probably have to negotiate a deal. So, but it's not an apples to apples comparison. You're not getting him for a fourth and fifth round pick. No. Because they don't feel like they need to trade him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope the Browns, but I'm saying the Broncos. I think the Broncos do. I agree with that too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this point, he's saying you can't get Bobby Wagner. There's no other linebacker you can get that you know is gonna do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your offense with Deshaun Watson for a full season in theory should be significantly better. Do you do the second round in a starter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I'll trade a second round pick. What about an offensive lineman? I don't think the Broncos need an offensive lineman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have we not talked about how the Browns have blown it on 8 of their top 10 picks the last 3 years? Yea, but that doesn't mean you give them away. Well, I don't look at that as giving away. You're giving it away for a guy who's proven that he's good and you think has the ability to be great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need to go to a practice this year. I need to see for myself. I'm pretty sure G will agree with me. If you flip-flop Donovan Peoples, I'd rather keep Donovan Peoples. I would too. But if I had to flip Donovan Peoples-Jones into trade for Jerry Judy, I don't need two receivers at that point. Now I need one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I definitely do not think trading for Judy means you're giving up on Bell, because Amari Cooper, as you guys said, might be gone after this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw some of my former colleagues on the fan tweeting about this yesterday and I responded to them, talked about how ridiculous the comparison was. There's no comparison between Cooper and Judy. It's totally different situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though they did put up points. They did, yeaah. I don't think we were frustrated every week, but there were plenty of weeks. There were stretches where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Watson plays like he did in Houston? No, in Houston. No, no, no. I think they're, I think they're, uh, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Between now and the start of the season. That will put them ahead of the prediction pecking order. Absolutely. For Kansas City, Cincinnati, and Buffalo. Nope, nothing. The highest they can get pre-season, if you're being fair. Would be four. Is four. Yep. Okay, that's, now, there'll be fans who will be biased if they, especially if they get a good receiver, who will put us from higher. But the reality


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not turning out to be true once the season happens because things happen, but going into the season, the highest we realistically will predict them to be is four. Right now, as is, I think they're right around six, seven in the AFC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, well let's look at this right now. It's way early, we're weak in the free agency, there's no draft, no injuries, nothing. Right now, we all, I, we all agree, Buffalo, whatever order you got, Buffalo, Kansas City, Cincinnati, top three teams in the league, we're all in agreement there, right? Okay, so let's think about the other four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Jets are probably gonna go. The Jets and the Dolphins are in the mix. I don't think the Jets are a short thing, but because I'm not convinced that A-Rod's still got enough left in the tank, but we'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Denver, no. Denver, no. Raiders, no. I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so the Browns are battling, so that's four teams, the Jets, the Dolphins, the Chargers, and the, uh, and the Jaguars. So let's say the Jaguars win the South, we take them out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the Browns, in theory, are going to be battling with the Chargers, the Jets, the Dolphins, the Ravens, if they have Lamar, and the Patriots. Now, I personally, thinking about that, would have the Browns as 7 right now as is, if I knew Watson was going to play at the Houston level. I'd have them 6 or 7.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you got, McNuggets? I would say, last off for me, this is an arms race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The AFC is so much better than the NFC. If the Browns were in the NFC, I wouldn't really be worried about the second receiver that much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't you think he has hand-picked up a bunch of random dudes like this around the league? He's like, we gotta sign this guy and that guy. And they don't post any money. That's his thing. They're all signing for a million dollars or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. And it's so funny because often when we think about the importance of special teams, we really think about the kicker most often, right? Because the field goals and whatever, and we have a young kicker who struggled at times, but I think we all think he's got a lot of potential. But we always ignore the important things that you talk about. You don't ignore it, but many of us and many fans we are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Culpable of ignoring, but if you watch a game and you see a guy run it out of the end zone and you see a tackle made at the 13 yard line. Oh it's big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's irrelevant, it's irrelevant because you had to make the trade. So I mean, you had to get a quarterback. You couldn't, you can't, you can't win with Baker Mayfield. We all know that now, I think. And that's that. You can't say you can't win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Watson, if I get Watson in Houston, I'll have a chance to win a Super Bowl. With Baker, I had no chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta take what you got. Well, you just made an excuse and said, well, we got things against us and we barely lost. Barely lost means nothing. You lost. That's all. Yeah. And that's the same thing. That's what I'm saying. If you, if you make it to one lost, you still lost. There's a lot of slapdicks that have won one playoff game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the NFL, if you don't have a legit quarterback, you're not playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like he's got to do it longer. He hasn't played enough. What he's done the last two seasons in particular is just absurd. He's a top 10 pitcher and a top 10 hitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could have gone to the Hall of Fame probably as just a hitter or just a pitcher. I agree with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no. He was better as a closer than Smoltz. I agree. He did it longer, but, but, but still, but that's rare. So he knows what it's like to be a starter and a closer. And he did make a great point. And at first it did look like he was a little over amped. I thought when he came in, I was just reading


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No doubt they missed opportunities early. Really quick before Mike gives his read and we move on to this other angle of Otani, uh, the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a great couple of weeks. This was the best tournament and anybody that's hating on it because of two injuries, that's ridiculous. There's 65 guys that have gotten injured in spring training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, we know they won't. Yes. Let's start with that. Yes, they won't. We know they won't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you ask me this question about almost any player like this that the Guardians would never sign, I would say no, probably for almost every other player. This is so unique.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Guardians have so much depth and talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That as crazy as it is and probably doesn't make sense in the long run, I would do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though obviously there's nothing you can do to guarantee a World Series. Nothing. No. But, with Otani, I believe the Guardians are right there with anybody in baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you've now added he would be your, you know, co-best pitcher and your co-best hitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely. All in one guy. At worst, he's your second best pitcher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you think it would take? Would it take like four prospects and somebody else? I can't even imagine what you have to give up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if you're gonna make this kind of trade, you'd have to be willing to give up your three best prospects? At least.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gavin Williams. Gavin Williams. You'd have to trade Bibi, Gavin Williams, and George Valera to start. That's your start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, uh, then you're either, and maybe Gabriel Arias. So you're like, those four guys. Those are the four gems in the organization. Those are the four of the top six prospects, right? And you throw in a Josh Naylor and maybe,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm just shocked with you because you're, in terms of this, you're very conservative usually. I am. And so this, this tells you, the fact that somebody like you who's generally conservative with trades, much more than the rest of us, is like, I would basically give up anybody to get them for one year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being able to watch that guy play for the Guardians, even for one year, would be so special. You know, go back to the CC Subatheia trade with the Brewers. And I know they didn't win the World Series that year. But they gave it a try.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The three main guys I wouldn't want to trade are Ramirez, Bieber, and McKenzie. But in the end, I would, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think they wouldn't do it because of money. I think it would be because of the prospect. No, it wouldn't be money because let's face it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you wouldn't do that unless the guardians were really good. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In July, August, and September, that ballpark would be bonkers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not, not only from Cleveland, but you have all these people, uh, Japanese people from around the country that are coming to Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jay, I understand it's different because the Cubs have a higher payroll than the Guardians. Yeaah. But in terms of the drought of winning a championship, the Cubs and Guardians are in the same boat. Now we're in the boat all by ourselves. There is nothing. The Cubs in 2016 had a great farm system. They did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was nothing that I would have been against him giving up to get a guy who can help me as much as I can. Not even Bryant? Because at the time- Well, I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's certainly no prospects. The Cubs gave up two of their best prospects to get Chapman, who was at the time a great, one of the, maybe the best closer in baseball. And you were fine with it. And I was fine, because who cares? I'm trying to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With that, I think there's at least a 37% chance Anthony screws up the scores.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, starting in April, Mikey's gonna have 42 jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's that same thing that makes girls bite you when they think you're cute. I found the gator. Good job. Yeah, it's all sick, huh? If it's all sick, you probably shouldn't eat it. No, it's just a... Never mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the hell is happening there? A truck crashed and spilled something all over a highway? That's crazy! A truck crashed here too and covered the whole highway in tomato sauce!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got hit by a hurricane. Anything at all. I don't have any power


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's not so surprising. We've seen Chinese companies catching up to the US in technology for a long time. And so if, if particular effort and attention is paid in a specific sector, it's, it's not so surprising that they would surpass the rest of the world. And facial recognition is one of the really the first places we've seen that start to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The place is just filled with, uhm, these screens where you can see the computers are actually reading people's faces and trying to digest that data and basically track and identify who each person is. And it's incredible to see so many because just two or three years ago we hardly saw that kind of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a big part of it is government spending, uhm, and so the technology's really taken off and a lot of companies have started to sort of glom onto this idea that this is the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So effectively what the Belt and Road is is China's attempt to, via spending and investment, project its influence all over the world. And we've seen, you know, massive infrastructure projects going in in places like Pakistan and in Venezuela and Ecuador and Bolivia, uh, you know, all over the world. Argentina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, in America's backyard, in Africa. Africa's been a huge place. And what the Belt and Road ultimately does is it attempts to kind of create a political leverage for the Chinese spending campaign all over the globe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what they do is they, they sell a dam, sell some other stuff and they say, you know, by the way, we can give you these camera systems and for your emergency response and it'll cost you $300 million and we'll build a ton of cameras.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'll build you a kind of, you know, a main center where you have police who can watch these cameras. And that's going in all over the world already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My apologies, please keep going. Gasoline for your generator. Check. Is Disney still open? Disney is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arizona, a federal judge blocked your bill prohibiting people from filming the police. That's fine. You're not upset?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is one of the most remarkable stories in, in US labor history, I think is, you know, the decline of, of unionized trucking. The industry was deregulated in 1980.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at that time, truck drivers were earning the equivalent of over $100,000 in today's dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And today the typical truck driver will earn a little over $40,000 a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an important part of the automation story, right? Uh, why are they so afraid of automation? Uh, because we've had four decades of rising inequality in wages. And if anybody is going to take it on the chin from automation in the trucking industry, the first in line is going to be the driver without a doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Hope, I'm Steve Vaselli. Hi Steve, nice to meet you. Great to meet you too, thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, self-driving, uhm, so some, you know, some companies are already operating, uh, Embark, for instance, it's one that, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has been doing driverless trucks on the interstate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the trucking industry is $740 billion a year, and again in many of these operations, labor is a third of that cost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By my estimate, you know, I think we're in the range of 300,000 or so jobs in the foreseeable future that could be automated to some significant extent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today there are many people who are ringing the alarm. Oh my god, what are we going to do? Half the jobs are going away. I believe that's true. But here's the missing fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've done the research on this, and if you go back 20, 30, or 40 years ago, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You will find that 50% of the jobs that people performed back then are gone today. You know, where are all the telephone operators?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That have now been eliminated travel agents. You can just go through field after field after field. That same pattern has recurred many times throughout history with each new wave of automation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's many factors that are driving inequality today, and unfortunately artificial intelligence, without being thoughtful about it, is a driver for increased inequality. Because it's a form of automation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And automation is the substitution of capital for labor. And when you do that, the people with the capital win. So Karl Marx was right. It's a struggle between capital and labor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with artificial intelligence, we're putting our finger on the scale on the side of capital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how we wish to distribute the benefits, the economic benefits that that will create.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is going to be a major moral consideration for society over the next several decades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, welcome back to Stoneblock, where, if you might notice, I managed to upgrade my tools. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was talking about the whole blazing blood scenario in, was it the last episode or the one before? I'm not sure. But, the whole thing was, I couldn't get it until I got plastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, in the last episode, I did get plastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was able to make the mob imprisonment tool, I was able to put the blaze in there, I was able to get the blazing blood, and now I've got manual and tools, which is a significant upgrade. I'm not sure if I ever went over the durability stuff before, but this is about eight times what it used to be. Also, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've just been fiddling with the tinkering on them as well, and I think they're in a good place now. And they also look pretty cool. Other than that, I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What else did I do? I did just, like, a bunch of resource gathering. Oh, right! I spent, like, three real world days AFK-ing for plastic. And, uhm, now I've got 40 of it. So that'll keep us going for a little while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, what to do in this video? I was thinking that we set up the automatic crafting system because it is just so much of a help for anything involving a lot of crafting steps. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, may as well do that. I've already bookmarked a bunch of the recipes I'll need. So, I'll need, obviously, a crafter. I'll need a pattern grid so I can actually encode the patterns. I'll need the patterns to put into the system. The interfaces to connect them to the system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, importers and exporters are just handy to have and I need them to make an interface. And then I noticed there's upgraded crafters, which are significantly better than just the regular crafter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also they are their own quests. I might go through to the netherite? How much do I have any netherite left? I have one.

[Assistant] Okay, no, that's not that hard to get either. But this kind of a recipe is something that I'd want to automate because this is just a pain to try and keep in mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, uh, and along the way, completing the quests, it'll give me more crafters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the equivalent of, if this was AE2, about 60, uhm, molecular assemblers. Which if you've ever done automatic crafting in AE2, that is a lot of molecular assemblers. That's a really good auto-crafting setup. Now I hope this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope refined storage doesn't have the whole channel system, because the channels are-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're fine to manage, but it's annoying to have to keep it in mind. But I haven't seen any...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need another machine for encasing. Actually, how many am I going to need? One for the Crofta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that's annoying. So I'm gonna need-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Immediately six, and then seven, so I'll need seven of these. So then two more machine frames. There we go, two more machine frames, for two more machine casings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so for the grid, I made this before. To improve processes, a construction core and a destruction core.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I'm out of quartz. And I'm also running low on quartz and rich iron. I'm gonna need a lot more quartz then. I think I got enough quartz now. Two whole stacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Destruction call. Done, finally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, to make a grid, uh, and then I need advanced processor, and then to make a pattern grid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should have a bunch of quests done actually. Formal patterns. Nice. I think it was just that one quest actually. Now I could make this crafting monitor, because it'll show me all of the recipes that are currently being crafted, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it's really necessary because you can kinda just mentally keep track of it all. Or just ignore it and just hope for the best. That's what I do most of the time. Crafting manager?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, all of your patterns in one GUI, that's gonna be nifty too. Hmm, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's gonna mean I need one more extra interface because it'll give me another crafter and another machine casing for the crafting manager. Oh, nevermind. The crafting manager takes two crafters, but it is very nice to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll be fine. So now, I'll make the crofta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I have everything, I just need two advanced processes and again a construction and a destruction core. Crafter. And the reward for that is another crafter! Which I think I'll then just use again to make the crafting manager. Just two advanced processes, that's easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I should preemptively make just a lot of these. Although I am making the automatic crafting system, so I can just queue them up to be made. It's really not hard. That's partly why I'm making this whole system, because it's just any of these things that I'm doing constantly, I can just entirely automate it. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, now I think, well I need to make a bunch of the interfaces, but I think it's just make all of the crafters. So, ironcrafter. I already have what I need for that. Okay then. Ironcrafter complete. And gave me another crafter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I will immediately upgrade to another iron one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've run out of chests. I have a bunch of gold blocks, because uhm, to get all of the, hang on, I can, to get all of these yellow heart canisters, each one takes an enchanted golden apple. An enchanted golden apple is made with eight gold blocks, so I have a lot of gold blocks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I very much over-prepared, so I have gold at my disposal now. I thought I'd be making more of the enchanted golden apples over time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe not. This health is already huge. Anyway, Goldcrafter. I need a chest. Might have made too many chests, but whatever. Now I need these neural processes. I'm gonna need a bunch of these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh, yeaah, I'm gonna need a bunch of these. How much obsidian do I have?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need eight of all things. Oh, have I run out of diamonds? No, because I've just left a lot of them in block form. There we go. Eight raw neural processes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then I literally just smelt them. There we go, 8 year old processes. And then Goldcrafter. I only had enough for one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I made half as many of the things as I needed. Now I should be able to make, yeaah, four diamond crafters. Ooh, I almost ran out of diamond blocks, jeez. Oh, and then with these last four machine casings,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it just did tasks for the external storage. Oh, so I can just hook that up to like the drawers upstairs. And that'll work. Okay, quick tangent, I wanna do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll make a fluid interface now, I'm not bothered. I'll do that later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] External storage. Okay, I can almost make that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] External storage. So now I just want to connect up this draw controller to the storage. So all I would need to do is put the external storage there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then run the cables like this. I need to put a block back there so the mob farm will keep working. And it's in the wall. I don't much like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh, but I can't do that. I'll just have to fill all of this back in again later. Oh, here's a small problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do I connect the cable to the controller? Guess I can do it from the bottom. Yep, and that's just worked. So now I've got all of the mob drops in here. And now I just fill it all back in again. Ooh, do I want to hook up the cobblestone as well? It wouldn't be hard. Now I'll do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some other time. Okay, and now that's everything back in place. And mostly, you cover it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool. So now that I've got all of this, where do I want to put it? I guess it could be good if just this whole, uhm, this whole layer is automation stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can get down with that. Then I'd probably want to move the crafting, or the controller, elsewhere. I think I will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll mean I have to port this cable over, but that's not the end of the world. I think I'm just gonna plonk this back down here. I guess I could connect it by the front. Oh, I'm gonna have to move this back again. There we go. There we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got the cable underneath now, so it's connected, I've got all the stuff, and it's covered. I'm gonna need more cables too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now I'll finally get into the crafting stuff. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pattern grid, I'll just put that there. Crafting manager, I'll just put that there because it works like that. That looks pretty cool. It actually looks like a computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for now, I'll just have the crafters around the back here. And I presume I just put the interfaces on top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that. And then I need cables going into the interface. Right, there we go, now it's all on. And now I need to hook them all up to power, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, actually, I don't think they need power. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That makes things much easier. Well, I can see all of the crafting spaces there. I guess they don't need interfaces. So that immediately makes them better than the molecular assemblers. So let's see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it works exactly the same as before. I want something that'll make machine casings. And then let's just do the importers and the exporters too. And then in the crafting manager, let's put them in. And then get rid of all of that. Yep, it looks exactly the same as it is in AE2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is literally the same UI, and I just say I want another stack of this, tells you how much you'll need, start it, and it just makes it. So, okay, it works exactly the same with none of the bullshit. Cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, by the looks of things, this doesn't take channels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aha! Well, that makes everything substantially easier. Now I'm gonna move this redstone furnace from here. I'll leave the rest there. And I'm gonna hook it up to the system. The only way I know how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I need to still hook it up to power. This one will need an interface.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's not natively part of the mod.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's got power, it's an interface, and if I check the crafting manager...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not showing me pattern. I'm also going to make a pattern for patterns just because that tends to be very useful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, I'm missing quarts, I am. So now I'm pretty much just gonna go through and get all of the recipes that I use frequently and just get an automatic thing so I can just order them up. Ooh, I guess I can showcase another thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's say I want 10 more patterns, but I don't have enough of the quart sign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do however have the recipe to craft it, so when I try to craft these, it'll craft the quart sign at the same time, and I've got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, now that I can start doing all this, everything gets so, so much easier. Cause then you just encode all the patterns and then you just tell it to do it for you. Ah, this is easy. And now for the complicated bit. Okay. Processing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see if it can support smelting. If I just put it in like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't go in the crafter. It should go...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, hello? Oh, it's just been imported straight in. Does it go in there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I'm gonna need to learn how this system works now. Because the crafters, that's way easier to set up. The processing, not so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh! Oh, wait a minute. Oh, no. No, I don't think that's how it works. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the quest book any help for this? I'm not too sure this is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually gonna let me do this. It has the processing. And the pattern thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, after a little bit of googling, I have discovered something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, wait, the redstone furnace has been connected to it. He recognises that. Okay. Then why have I not got this back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Importer. Oh, not importer interface. This might take some fiddling. Ahhhh, there we go. On the side with the interface.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so I might have figured out the setup now. Let's try it. One improved processor. Well, I heard the redstone furnace going. Why haven't I got it back? Well, I heard everything going. I just didn't get the processor back. I can showcase this again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, I don't have silicon. I'll just make 10 of it. And then I can show, yeah. The furnace is going, and it's taking the, the output. So then where's the output going? Oh no, I got it back! Okay, so I think it just worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then this whole thing works. Okay. Why didn't I get it back before then? Do I just have, like, some crafting recipes still going at the moment? This is where the crafting interface would come in handy, because I can see what's going on and... Ugh. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's how it works. The crafter functions as the interface then. But it can't import, so I need the importer. I guess I could try to hook up some of the other machines? So I can automate everything? Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, one thing that I wanna try to make- ooh, okay, that was a mistake. I wanna get-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything's set up so I can automate the entire production of machine casings. Which is complicated, because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get the machine casing, I need to make a machine frame in the induction smelter. And to make all the stuff in the induction smelter, Kin gear, that would be all crafting stuff. Compressed sand, I need to get the sand. So, the sand, I would have to hook it up to the pulverizer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which requires gravel also in the pulverizer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which requires cobblestone? Yes, just cobblestone. Oh, and there's a chance to get sand. But I just want gravel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The flint and sand is just like a bonus thing. So this means it'll take a lot of recipes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, overizer, and I need to leave space for all of the cabling. And then each of them,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll have a crafter on top. I need to get some importers. And each of these machines, I still need an input and an output. And I still need power. I'll do power from the back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then, machine casing, make that pattern. Machine frame, make that pattern. Need to make a tin gear pattern. I need to make a lot of stuff for this. Block of iron even? I'm gonna need a bunch more patterns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gravel in the pulveriser becomes sand. And then cobblestone becomes gravel. And I'll have plenty of cobblestone so I don't have to worry about getting crafting recipe for that. Now I put all of these in place. So the crafter makes that. It's that. That.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got that. Induction smelter makes that. Pulverizer makes that and that. So now, I can order up a machine casing. And it worked!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It made my, it made me a machine casing. Okay. So now I figured out how all of this automation system works now and it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Different to AE2, but probably better. Because these crafters function a bit better than the interfaces did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I probably didn't need them to be so big, but I might need more of these just ordinary crafters for actual crafting, because this is not enough for crafting in general. Like, I've filled up


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, the last time I went deep into all of the automation stuff. How many rows of crafting recipes did I have?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was almost a thousand patterns. Oh no, that's including all of the processing. Anyway, it was a lot. It was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 48 interfaces worth. That's a good way to put it, and one interface would hold one row, so 48 rows. That's a lot of crafting. This does not have 48 rows, so I need more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think one good thing to do last is I want to fill up these disk drives just for the sake of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, wait a minute. Oh, I'm running out of power. Oh no. Okay. I need power set up and I need it fast because otherwise I'm going to lose complete access to all of my storage. Okay. Thermal has generators. Magmatic dynamo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh, yes. Yes, this is good because I already have fully automatic lava generation. And because this is a complicated thing to make, I'm gonna automate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just gonna make two. Ah, I don't have invar. And I'm out of iron too? Oh, I got a quest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give me a lava bucket. Okay, I've got two magmatic dynamos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's my mechanical pipes? Don't really need lava in a bucket anymore. Two magmatic dynamos. Uh, yeah, fine, that works. Ooh, that's, that's generating pretty good power. I'm gonna need more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Connectors. And again, this is a good thing for me to automate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, I've got my wires with me. Nevermind. Need to find where these connect in. Oh, just there. Okay. Right, the snad is in the way. There's the connector. No, I don't really need this here anymore. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One more magmatic dynamo, and the system's died. Great. If I disconnect this... Okay, it's building up again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many magmatic dynamos am I gonna need? I might also need a lot more water production. Cause this doesn't feel like it's gonna cut it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could make a magma crucible, 200,000 RF to make 1,000 millibuckets of lava. And this only makes 100,000 RF with 1,000 millibuckets of lava. So, the magma crucible was out because it's too slow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh, netherrack makes a thousand millibuckets of lava. That's pretty easy for me to get now that I've got the nether. Seems like it's pretty much justified crucible to be able to make lava for these backpack dynamos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I could find a way to pipe it from the nether itself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that seems like an end game kind of thing to be doing. I'm just gonna make like three more magmatic dynamos. That could be enough. Come on, make three. It's gonna take a little while. Okay, I've got the three magmatic dynamos now. Is this gonna be enough to keep up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, this is enough to keep up. It's slowly going up now. Whew. Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just took five magmatic dynamos. But can the crucibles keep up, that is? Yea, it seems like they probably can. I think one crucible at this rate seems like it's enough to power one magmatic dynamo. Unless I upgrade it, then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God knows, it, it might not be able to handle it, but I can just add more crucibles. It's not that hard. Still gonna make more of these magmatic dynamos. Make another two. Ah, nickel. Right, just added two more magmatic dynamos. I should be able to keep up with this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, now that power's been fixed. Okay, yeah, that's much quicker. This auto-crafting is probably complete now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna have to start worrying about power a lot more than I was before. This refined storage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might just be me, but it seems like it takes more power than the ME system did. Because the ME system drained power based on how many interfaces it was, or how many active interfaces it was connected to, and how many drives it had in the system. But this seems to just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do connections regardless of whether they're active or not. And maybe the cables as well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because when I click on the controller, ah, I can see how much is being drained. Okay, cables don't drain anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One FE per tick for the importers, two for the disk drives, four for the pattern grid, four for the crafting grid, six for the external storage, eight for the crafter manager, and each of the crafters takes a lot. Probably based on how many patterns is in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is now a working system. So I think between videos, I'm just going to be setting up a lot more of these recipes to be made because I can immediately think of a lot of things off the bat that I'm going to need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, pretty much all of the stuff that I would, uh, put in here, I would just make a pattern for it and figure out how to make it. So, yeah. Oh yeah, during the course of the video, that's a lot of plastic actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I s- I don't know if I put this in the video, but I switched to acacia logs because they give much, much more plastic. I didn't end up consuming that much plastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this point I feel like I'm just stalling, because I'm not sure how to finish the video anymore, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a conversation with a fellow who's an engineer and I was just talking to him one night at a, you know, at dinner at a cocktail party and I, there had been something in the press that day about privacy in the paper and I remember asking him, he worked for Google, what's the big deal about all, why are people so worked up about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I thought it was going to be one of those conversations like with, you know, if you ever ask an airline pilot, should I be worried about flying? And they say, oh, your most dangerous part is coming to the airport, you know, in the car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he said, oh, you'd be horrified if you knew how much we knew about you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember that kind of stuck in my head because it was not what I expected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I've learned since is that their entire business is learning as much about you as they can. Everything about your thoughts and your desires and your dreams and, uh, who your friends are and what you're thinking, what your private thoughts are. And with that, that's true power. And so, uh, I think, I didn't know that at the time. Their entire business is basically mining the data of your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're talking about convincing a relatively tiny fraction of the voters in a handful of states to either come out and vote or stay home. And remember, these companies know everybody intimately. They know who's a racist, who's a misogynist, who's a homophobe, who's a conspiracy theorist. They know the lazy people and the gullible people. They have access to the greatest trove of personal information that's ever been assembled. They have the world's best data scientists and they have essentially a frictionless way of communicating with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll tell you I was scared. Fear, fear of looking like a world class idiot. The market cap of all the firms arrayed against me were, was over six trillion dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the first guy, I think, was a Republican, and he voted for it. And everybody said the Republicans won't vote for it because it has this private right of action where consumers consume. And the guy in the Senate, he calls the name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I was blown away. It was a day I'll never forget.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in January, next year, you as a Californian resident will have the right to go to any company and say, what have you collected on me in the last 12 months? What of my personal information do you have? So that's the first right. It's the right of, we call that the right to know. The second is the right to say no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's the right to go to any company and click a button on any page where they're collecting your information and say, do not sell my information. More importantly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We require that they honor up what's called a third party opt out. You will click once in your browser. Don't sell my information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it will then send the signal to every single website that you visit. Don't sell this person's information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's gonna have a huge impact on the spread of your information across the internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so the best day ever invented. It's Friday, everybody's favorite day of the week. I mean, how could it? Well, yeah, I mean that moment. Saturday's close. Especially when you were a kid and you went to school. Like when you walked out of school on Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The buzzer beating three that didn't matter. Meaningless three badminton. And last night, I can't complain about last night, it was a close game, but it could have gone either way. I had Michigan State, obviously. And they were up in overtime at one point by three points in the middle, and then they just couldn't make a basket at the end, but what are you gonna do? What was the spread on that? The Michigan State was favored by one, one and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That point game would have been a bad beat, but not, not so. No, but it wasn't. I was already done. Boy, they really crapped the bed down the stretch. Yes they did. Today we're going wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta shake it up a little bit after two heartbreaking losses. Roll it, Mikey. Well, first do the read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, on the, on the bullpen about the Browns and Jets being two teams, it could be the two, two playoff teams that, that were not playoff teams last year. Uh, and I talked a lot about the Elijah Moore trade. The best bet today, we're going over somewhere that, uh, that Brad played.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Real Madrid is the number two team in Euroleague. Out of 16 teams I believe there are. They have the second best record. They are the best road team in the entire Euroleague. Meanwhile,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me say something easier. If you guys want to continue to be Charlie Brown and have the football pulled away, good for all of you. Have fun with that. Uh, fool me once, okay. Fool me twice, that's a problem. Fool me three times, I think I'll finally smarten up. Isaac Okoro is what he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice job. It's a regular season game against a crappy team. The Nets are a crappy team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do, I try to. A minus? I feel like I overrate them and maybe I'm doing that again today. And the reality is that a lot of the Browns big free agent moves have been failures, uh, in past years. Okay, that's true. So we can look back by the middle of the season and I'm like, what an idiot I was for giving them an A minus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here, here's why I like what they've done this offseason. Their, their biggest problem was defensive tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Galvin Tomlinson was a great addition. Uh, he may not be a superstar player, but he's very good. He's very good. I don't have to have a superstar in every spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta have good players. I need good players. The Browns have a good, a quality share of superstars. They needed more of a share of good players. And he's better than that. He's in between superstar and good player. He's really good player. And I think that's a great addition. I like some of the depth signings they had on the, on the defensive line as well. I think there's some potential there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're still a little weak at linebacker. That, that would, you know, that's the only area that I don't think they addressed enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love the Elijah Moore move, and as the days have gone by since that trade, and that's pushed me up to the A-.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the fact that they only traded down 30 spots instead of trading away a pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I am concerned with that. I have a little bit of worry too. However, I think this team with Deshaun Watson, I'm just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just going with the assumption that Watson's gonna get back to the guy he was. If he's not, okay, the whole thing's screwed anyway. I'm gonna go with the assumption that he is. And if that's the case...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think he's gonna, I think he's gonna be second on the team in targets. And if that's the case, he won't be upset. He'll be happy and they'll do well. Uh, the thing that could put it over the top, is that what we're doing now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now, some people are like, what do we need Red for? We got three good receivers now. You can never have enough good pass catchers. That's it. And, even though Elijah Moore, the one thing the Bronzes don't have, you don't have to have it, and they can mix and match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elijah Moore is not a true slot receiver. He's not, and Amar Cooper played the slot a little bit last year and I think he could do that too. But Hunter Renfro is a true slot receiver. And I think that, and, and if I could,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, let's say I've got 75 plays on offense, and if I could use those four guys with Hunter Renfro,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm splitting that up between those four guys with Najoku and Chubb, a little Jerome Ford in the mix. I'm feeling really good about that. That would put me up to an A. Certainly if they signed Bobby Wagner, it would too, but I'm assuming, cause Tyvis was basically like, nah, he don't wanna go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually think the Browns have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my mind I'm thinking, man, he has to be humiliated by how he played last year. And I know you said, well, why didn't he turn around by game six? And that's fair. Maybe he just wasn't able to put


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think, yea, an overall, if you look at it, position group by position group, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quarterback is unsh- Well, I guess technically they got worse, because you got a worse backup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll say that cause yeaah. You gotta work back. I'll give you that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, offensive line is the same. Yeah. Uh, but on defense, defensive line should be significantly better. Significantly. Linebacker the same. Yeah. And secondary I think is slightly better. Yeah. Uh, but even the downgrades at backup quarterback


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Like the Browns did. Yeaah, I mean the Bengals don't have any Miles Garrets on defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, but then there was another, it was, so the report from Schefter was he's down to the Bengals, the Jets, and the Eagles. That's what I saw. But then there was a report later in the day that those are the three teams he wants to go to. Not necessarily that they're interested in him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that there's going to be a team that gives them that. Maybe 5 million with incentives. Yeaah. You know, but. It will be, it will be an incentive deal. I actually do, you know, I mean I don't know what the Bengals, at this point I guess they're not cutting Nixon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think, I don't think Zeke at this point is better than Mixon. Mixon didn't have a great season last year, I still think he's better than Zeke. Although the one thing with Zeke that for a team like the Bengals and even the Bills, he's a great


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one guy, you know, I usually, I usually ignore spring training numbers for the most part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, uh, I was just curious because I haven't seen him pitch that much and I'm sure you've seen every start. Tristan McKenzie has really struggled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jim, you referenced the world baseball classic there with Quantrill. I know the Guardians didn't have a huge presence in the classic like we've seen, like the Cardinals did, the Phillies did. They had a lot of players, especially on Team USA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were talking about it the other day. I thought the tournament was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of the old school baseball fans that are like, we don't need this crap, blah, blah, blah. And I think I kind of had that attitude when this first started years ago and I've slowly gone the other way and now to the point where I was into this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really enjoyed it. Obviously the players are enjoying it. The competition is great and I thought it was excellent for the sport. Where do you stand on that and what have the players been saying to you about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm still hoping for a Brian Reynolds trade. I know it's probably not going to happen at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would have been long dead by now. Uh, but let me ask you, in terms of the pitching, I actually have some concerns about police acting Savalli. For me, I don't trust either guy. And I'm thinking about the second half of this season. If those guys are not where they want them to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it more likely they have a little payroll flexibility to trade for a veteran or?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could we see Gavin Williams? Could we see Bibby? Like are those guys in the plans if they pitch well and stay healthy for this, this year, even if it's not till June?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we know the Guardians would never actually do this, or at least we assume they would never actually do this. Would you trade whatever it took essentially to get Shohei Otani? And I said he's so unique, and I don't think outside of the Astros that the American League has any other teams that are that great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'll try to keep one between him and Bibi, but if I gotta trade them both, I gotta trade Arias, I gotta trade Valera, I know, I know it's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think about the excitement of the players. And think about the excitement of the fans. You would immediately have a ton of tickets sold for the year.
