[Assistant] Like, have like proper decent conversations with a lot of them. A lot of them are like quite normal, quite smart and just like, they're in other little situations that they kind of, that we all got ourselves in scrapes. Some, some get into bigger scrapes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they are, they are usually just good kids. Like, I was sitting there with Scribs and him explaining to me that when, like, when Chief Keef and that come out, someone in their area showed them a video and them like, right, these kids are just like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Hardiv, they were influenced by that. And by that drill, UK drill stepped off and it's its own thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like I said, and they are smashing wireless of their own merit and like, it's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to LA to, uh, to shoot a fix up look sharp video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the first- Why did I go to New York? I went to New York first in 2003.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to LA. Yeah, LA was the first place I ever went to outside of England. I'm sure it was. So, and I think that might have been in the end of 2002, 2003? And I shot a video for Fix Up Look Sharp. I shot it in the valley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was with Ruben Flasher. Ruben Flasher made, uhm, Zombie Land. Okay. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big Robin Black, that's his program. Right. He's done a few things, a couple other things as well, but I just remember going and staying at the, what is the London Hotel now, it used to be called the Wyndham Bellage. Okay. You know it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's uh, I think it's kind of around the corner from Sunset. Okay. Because I used to stay there and used to see Luke Goss all the time and he used to chat. I remember going into the shop and seeing the wall of fitted hats and trainers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember smoking weed and it blowing my mind. I'll never fi- I'll smoke some weed, yeah?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just started doing some, I went mad. I just started body popping in the middle of the room for ages. Wow. And I passed out. Really? Yea, I remember I was doing some shit like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I didn't know. It weren't that bad. I just know that I had to shut down for a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't remember, I remember going there years later and then learning to roll a blunt and then that was that changed everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, then I became a smoker. I wasn't a smoker before that. I always smoked weed on and off. Right. And I learned to roll blunts in LA. Oh god. And then I just kept going to LA. I was there a lot. Enjoy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, I got to that point where a couple little things happened, but I got to that point where I was like, like, rawr, I'm a smoker, like, I'm smoking


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you got so much free time on your hands as an artist, musician, you could be around in the day and smoke as much as you want. Wake up, smoke eight, nine zoots. And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went out with Dave Chappelle and Donald Rollins. They were here for a show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went out with them, we smoked, we went to a D'Angelo show, we went to, is it Chilton Firehouse?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ate fried chicken and listened to music and that. And I said, you know what? After this, I'm not smoking weed. And I just stopped. Real smoke sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanted to clear my head again and just, just do nothing. I'm not a big drinker, I'm not in any way. I can like easily just not drink. But then I just got that tea total.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then just really started looking at what was happening around me and just fixing certain things like almost done a 360 and just became super on point and sharp and just now I'm just pfft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. But yeah, I can still be around it. And to be fair, I've been in the studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where there's people smoking a lot of weed. Like I made a song with Skeptile, what was it, last year or something. The room full of people smoking weed. You can tell everyone to get out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like then you're gonna kinda change the vibe. Very much. You know what I'm talking about? Yeaah. So it's like, I'll just sit here and just do this and get it done innit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, nah, nah. I almost feel like, ah fuck, I wish I would have carried on, because now everyone's fucking got cannabis companies and shit like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The younger generation may look after themselves better, innit? Maybe, because of all the fun I had, a lot of it I can't remember anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I print my photos. Like I bought a printer just to print photos. I've got like thousands of photos. You look back on it, it always makes you happy. There's something about having it in the physical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, so every now and then, even when I post, I don't post most of my photos. So I'll just, I have them on my phone, taking pictures of whatever events and then you pick them here. It's nothing like going through like, like old school, like going through a photo album. Just go to Boots, buy one for £4 or something like that and fill it up. Like, it's nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've been one of them kids for some reason. Even, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bought like a little camcorder, even before I properly blew up. So I've got little videos of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got me going around the area, up to stuff, whatever, and, and little camera, and just, and going on holidays, and always maybe taking a disposable camera. So I've got a lot, I'm happy I did all that, I don't know why I did it, I just wanted to just document it, I've always been into that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was looking at, uh, I found an old camera, I found an old, an old Canon, uhm, recently in my house. And, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just looked through it, and it's like, oh, it's old videos of me backstage, getting ready to go on, uh, a performance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the crazy thing is that the Olympics that year was built kind of where I'm from. Cause you know they usually build it in like rougher areas and then regenerate it or gentrify it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? There's that in it. So that's one of the craziest ones. There's been other like mad, if we had time I would remember, there's been loads of like mad stuff that's happened, like crazy stuff, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel I might have slowed down a bit. Cause I'm not like, there was a little time where I was just like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe for like four years I was just bouncing around America between Miami, LA, Vegas, and Houston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I feel like I've got a lot of that out of my system. Because I always went to America, I always went to them places, but it was mainly for work. So you did the thing, whatever, mess around, party, have fun and all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you're there for work. This time I'll go there. I'll get some work done, but I'm not there for work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now I got all that out of my system. I'm kind of just leveled out and all that. I'm kind of like, like I said, T-Total, whatever you want to call it for now. And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dunno, it's, it's an even more interesting time because you can almost do less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because like, you can do, like, come here, do this blog with you, few thousand people see it, it's more engaging, whereas I might go to Paris and do 11, 12 interviews, people asking me the same shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's draining. It is. You know what I mean? So now everything's a bit more, I'd say it's easier in a way. Yeah. But the thing that's not easier, obviously, is it's like, you need to get the songs, you need to make the hits. Everything for me, boss, I'm not the dude that's got loads of different businesses everywhere else and other little things there. Part of me wishes, maybe I wish I would have done that, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've really just liked the music, so it's a constant thing of I have to keep the music going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what else as well? As you're saying that, it may remind me like, oh yeaah. That can't be the problem with being a rapper. Because you just, you're not thinking about business as much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, especially when the game just keeps shifting. There's stuff that I signed when I was younger or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not like crazy regretful, like, oh my god, why'd I do that? But it's like, rah, if I was just a bit more in tune on point, I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have gone for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, there's other decisions that I made that really, like, has made me comfortable now, as well. But like, I'm definitely more on, like, I read paperwork now, I wanna know everything that's happening, all this stuff, like, I guess it's part of getting older, being an adult, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, just, just, just bein' more appointin', just not just tryin' to be Jack the Lad for the sake of bein' Jack the Lad, cause a lot of, lot of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially being a young rapper, you're almost encouraged to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be more image based and like, oh look, he's acting crazy, he's acting up. And then label or wherever, whoever gets behind that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because sometimes that's what propels you, innit? All the while while they're in the background.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, dotting the i's or crossing the t's and making shit like, like patterns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I dunno, I dunno if it's down to the labels. Maybe it's down to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Older heads in the, in the, in the industry, but then maybe it's down to younger heads to maybe try and listen more and whatever. You've got a bit of ego at that age when you're younger, so you're not really trying to hear nothing from no one. So then you kind of put yourself in the position to just be taken advantage of. It's a tough one, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're jumping behind it and sometimes I worry or wonder how much muscle have they got. Some of them, obviously it's worked, but it's more than the label.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the unspoken people, like maybe the DJ or the, or some other influencers or you like, you like, you see, uhm, you see the Black Godfather.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watch, there's a documentary about this guy in America who's basically...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a bunch of those people in every situation, like, someone linked someone up with, it's like you just linked up H with Shoreline Mafia. You know, it was in 10 years time they might be the biggest. Sometimes there's people like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you're kind of whoring yourself out a bit there, but it depends if you're your own pimp, then I guess you're still the boss, innit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a way, but some people are just really making it work for themselves, especially with some people who just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pattern of social media just so, and just really carrying their own empire, man. Like, when I see that, that's one thing I have to like, commend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of the shit that was going on with me when I was young was happening so fast, I didn't know what to make of any of it. It was just kinda happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly now I'm older, I can look back at it like, rah, fuck that, that happened. Plenty of crazy stuff, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plenty of stuff, and then like, and then you have to deal with being in the public eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm not like, I'm not overly big on it, cause like I said, I had a little period when I was out there in Miami and all that, when I was, I was enjoying myself a bit too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I wasn't enjoying myself too much. I was just really enjoying myself, yeah. But I was posting stuff that if I was in England, I might not have posted it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because when you, when you're away, you know what I mean, but then, but then, fucking whatever, you're like, I'm in a strip club, or whatever, I turn the mood in, like, a bunch of asses in my face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, or their kids, or their mum, like, you know what I mean? It's all kind of, like, stuff you're just not thinking about, because you're, you're following...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A pattern of people that you watch, that's what they're doing. Oh, that's how Snoop's going on. Or that's how this one's going on. They're just throwing up everything up there. And the truth is, I'm not even like that. You know, this guy's known me since I was like 8.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, young. Yeah, yeah, like, we're from the same neighbourhood. Oh, okay. Like, for real, like, so like, yeah, I was, well, I ran around, yeah, as far as private, I've always been quite private, so I don't know, I just kinda let loose. And because of that, I was just enjoying the social media, but really, like, I'm not really in it, like, I don't, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure, because one thing I have since I stopped posting so much, I've definitely been just living. Like, and just like living in the moment and experiencing stuff and almost kind of made me normal again, which I kind of maybe I missed out on when I was younger because I wasn't living a normal life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think of it now, everyone's doing all this stuff now that they're smashing festivals, they're doing everything. I've been doing that since 2004 or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so when I was 18, 19, I was going around Europe or going around America and going to work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most people I know they didn't even start really, really working till like their 20s or whatever, you know what I mean? So I've just been, been doing that. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then exposure to all other kind of stuff. Good, I got to, like I said, I got to see the side of me because I'm into cultural stuff, I'm into rap so much, I'm glad I got to see all that stuff and understand it differently. But then I missed out on stuff here, like when my friends were growing up, I was away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I missed kind of growing up with them in a way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is a weird one. Which almost don't matter because when I go back, one time when I did come back, no one liked each other, everyone was fighting and beefing each other anyway and no one, I was like, ah, what's going on with him? Ah, I don't really check for him no more. So maybe I got to a point where I'm a bit more nostalgic about it than everyone else is. Right. But it just made a bit of homesick. It's a weird feeling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, and then in a weird way, I don't know nothing else. So it's like, well, ain't that how it's supposed to be. You know what I mean? Cause it's that, it's that age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then trying things and doing things. Just, just seeing the world in a different way. I've been to private islands and fucking...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're just trying to have that fine balance of not, yea, and then people don't even treat you normal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When people go out of their way to say that, oh yeaah, I don't really, yeaah, I don't really know who you are. Don't really know. But people don't say that. Who goes down the street and says that, oh sorry, I don't really know who you are. That's not a thing that normal people say. You're not behaving normally, innit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly, so there's the word, you can never see the world in the same...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, because you wanna go to normal stuff and then people don't act normal when you're there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a lot, so you have to have a lot of patience in this thing. There's times when you just like, you wish you could just turn it off. And there's other times when you don't, cause you'll go shop and they'll, they'll, they'll just love you and they'll be like, nah, it's alright, you don't have to pay for it. Yeah, I heard you on another podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, and then, yeah, the people with the conspiracy theories and all sorts of other, or whatever they heard, like, about you 15 years ago, that's become gospel now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they think it's alright to just be sitting there asking you about it. There's just a lot of weird shit, and people...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just nuts bruv, it's just nuts how I just come into stuff where I'm way more- nah, I can't say I'm normal, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm way more down the line than kind of down to earth. I'm kind of through to trying to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fucking hell, like, is it ma- do you know how much I've done since then? Like, shit. Fucking-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get over it. Yeaah. Yeaah. It's the same with music. There's some people that just, they lack one error, but then I understand that too, because like there's, like I said, Project Pat still makes music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it means more to, like, there's something, you feel a certain way of driving around and listening to it. So I get it. It is what it is, but you can't, it's tough because you can't live in the past. If you live in the past, you're using your energy to try and recreate a vibe that was only there in the first place because of the world around you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the songs it's different though. Yeaah. Yeaah, because depending on where I am, a happy crowd to me is just a happy crowd. Like, yeaah, you like that one? Wicked. Let's do that. Yeaah, I'm doing the thing. Yeaah, they like it. Bless. We will go home. That's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you want them to like it more than your old shit. I've like, I've kind of, you kind of had to strip back your ego a bit like, and just understand that, well, they like that. So just be happy they like that. You've been booked, you've been paid. That's what they want. Let's get on with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because when you do that, you're taking away a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't force shit on people. Like, they've already come there, they want


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That thing that they've listened to, that they've had some of their best times in life. Because music can be a soundtrack to all the good shit in your life and the bad shit. But even the bad shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, when everyone's coming, there's nothing better than when people coming together, all strangers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For, for life, just to come and just enjoy and jump up and down and things or something that you wrote and sing it back to you. I've always been serious about live, live music, live, always. I, I fucking put this shit on, on the main stage, all these festivals in England, ages ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I've been serious about all the doing the live thing and in my own concerts, my own shows, because I understand that's the chance to bring the music to life. They are actually the things that matter to me, making the music and performing the music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything else, if I had a chance to not do fucking interviews or whatever other bollocks, bullshit, fucking radios sitting there chatting with assholes you know don't like and you don't like them, but you have to do it for some reason, then I would not do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, unless, unless you learn it was to sell it was to perform it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or sometimes it don't. And then it's like, should I just move on then? Like especially right now, I've made so much beats, I was in the studio with P Money recently, I was playing him all this stuff, and it was like, what are you fucking, what are you doing man, this stuff needs to come out, you need to do something about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like back in the day we was on Pirate Radio, I could just fling the beat out on White Label or whatever and it'll get out there. I've got old beats like, because before I was like on making songs, I would put instrumentals out, like one called Ho, Go, Strings, all this stuff that's like legendary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now, I'm trying to get my head around like, could I just put an instrumental out? Cause I've got-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tons of them. There's a hardcore Gram scene here. That shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just damn, but me, I wanna put lyrics on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But sometimes you just haven't got the bars. You haven't got that energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes you've just got nothing to say. You just haven't, like. Or the shit you've got to say no one cares about, like. Just, yes. I'm blessed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything's good. I'm the best. You just feel like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was shit, right? I'm just like, you just feel so good, you just write bullshit and just write how great you're doing. And sometimes people don't care. People, some people just want to hear duh and struggle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, or even you can still grow, I'm adamant about, even in the roughest areas in the hoods, whatever you want to fucking call it, I still feel like the majority of people are just getting on with it. Everyone's not a criminal, everyone's not a fuck, everyone's not a gangster, even in the hardest areas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you, you make your choice. Some people I've grown up with are conceded, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your dad was doing that. And your dad moved a certain way and doesn't know how to move another way. You got that from him. But they're rare. I feel like they're rare. I feel like everyone else kinda has a choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Entertainment is smoke and mirrors. That's the whole point of it. We're the biggest entertainers. Even think from the rock world, like, like, look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, and Alice Krupa and all them, they were theatrical guys innit? Iron Maiden, like it was all about doing it. That's what took it to that next level innit? Like are they sitting there really worshipping Satan and doing it out there? Probably not, like they're just on private jets or just enjoying nice stuff or whatever or doing crazy drugs as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It depends man. It depends. But yeaah, it's all entertainment. That's the whole purpose of it. Some of it's coming from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever, a real hard, serious place. And that's why some people like, yeah, their music ain't as punk as I know, because like I said, people are ignorant. If they, if they, they want to hear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's the same reason they just like, fucking Scarface or whatever dumb feel. Like, Scarface is a dumb film, it was dumb. People love Scarface. Like, yeah, look, he's shy of you, he was in there, he had the machine gun, yeah, he went out like a, like a gangster. Yeah, like, they came to his yard and just lit him up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he fucked up his relationship with his mum and he's got his sister killed and his mate. That's what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't kill the kid, I'm playing for you. But yea, but yea, stupidity innit? Yea. Yea, people like, like, people like extreme shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but people pick the bits they like, innit? That's human being. Look, they fucking add what? How long goes it? Like, I'm swearing, I'm trying to keep down, I'm swearing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same in Iraq, people took their kids to lynchings. They had the coliseums, bloodsport, that's how people are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We like to see, we like to see, cause everyone really deep down wants, wants to do someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, I don't like talking about it, you've got the whole stabbing thing here, everyone's going on the stabbing, it's futz, something needs to be done about it. When you think-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the biggest exports from this country, yeaah, that thousands of people, millions of people from around the world come to London to see, yeaah, is to go on the Jack the Ripper walk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's a legend forever. And people will come in here for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a specific thing, yea, but maybe they should talk about murder as a whole and then put them stats out and then see what's happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be fair though, there is something there. There is, like, it's hard to see it like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was more, I swear there was more stab, in 2003 there was more stabbings than there were last year or something like that. I swear it was almost double.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Parents are losing their kids, so before whatever I think or whatever stats views thing here, that is the main thing, because people are losing their kids. So maybe I should just either leave it at that, because that is what matters in it. That's sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I put out a wicked EP called Don't Gas Me. That was the last thing I put out. It was last year. And I put out an album called Rasket maybe like 2017. Fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, just, just all rapping, just all rapping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Half of it was produced by Cardo. You know Cardo, innit? Oh wow, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I shoulda kept the name tags on there, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause you know what, cause I'm old school, I just, I didn't want it to sound like a mixtape, but thinking about it now, I might have people like, thought I fucking paid for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's crazy? It's the fact that they do and it just, it's interesting because you're so involved in music that you forget how people respond outside of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're used to that, that's part of the song. That's so bizzare. Muzza on a beat. That's interesting. That's when you're always learning in this game, you never stop learning. That's what I like about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ain't got a producer tag, man. I was, I was gonna, um, I was gonna go under a different name for my production. I was gonna go under, uh, I've been toying with names. It wasn't called Spud Gun, or The Spud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chuck says Doom's got the Brotherhood of Mutants helping him out. Doing what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ohhhh. Okay, I see what's happening now. We don't have a ladybug cat Noir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hope, be careful! She's a national treasure! And her hat is really pointy!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody wanted to get the Global Climate Coalition account because it was a coalition of the biggest industries in America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of reporters were assigned to write stories and they were struggling with the complexity of the issue. So I would write backgrounders so that reporters could read them and get up to speed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean I met some really brilliant climatologists and meteorologists. Met Pat Michaels. He struck me as someone who was very smart. He loved talking about this issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The backgrounders I was writing, the narrative that I represented as the communications lead for the Global Climate Coalition was not a popular narrative. There's no question about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, was there truth in all the materials? Yes, there was. There was a lot we didn't know at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And part of my role was to highlight what we didn't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't just that we, that is the global climate coalition, needed to come up with contrarian voices. The media needed them to have balance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I certainly had probably a role in the creation of this. There's a level of detail here I just, I don't remember. But what I do, I do remember the gist of this, uhm, where things were said


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At one point in the process, and then they disappeared at the next. And that struck me as troubling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I noted that to the folks in the coalition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, that wouldn't have been terminology by the way that I would have used.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it troubles me to hear that this had such an impact on an individual. That's not something I would want to do to anybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry Dal, but I really wanted to see ya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My concerns was that this man was sexually using children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We already had suspicions that they'd been sexually molested or abused. And so that was a red flag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bringing a couch into his office and that he was keeping young males in there after hours when most of the staff had gone home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He took the kids to Great Falls shopping. He took them to basketball tournaments when our kids would qualify. To us, that was getting the community used to seeing him with these kids and the implication of parental permission.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he was polite. He assured me that he would not harm a child. He was respectful. Uh, and then I just didn't see him after that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all gonna be beneficial, I just have to bust my hump to get through it. That's all I gotta say for that, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and as you've probably already noticed, I started putting fan art at the beginning of some videos. I just wanted to show my appreciation for some of the incredible pieces of art that people have made for me, and I wanted to make sure that the rest of the community saw it as well to give you some attention. So if you've got a piece of fan art that you want showcased or you want me to see, please look in the description below to find the link to the fan DeviantArt page. That's the best place for me to find it. And who knows, it may just end up in a video. Thanks again. Buh-bye!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hahaha, okay, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I see you. Peek-a-boo! Oh, peek-a-boo!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cherry picking the cute teenage boys. So at that point I started having some suspicions about him. He didn't like seeing babies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't like seeing toddlers. Didn't like seeing girls. Didn't like seeing teenage girls. So, so just professionally, I just kept butting heads with this guy. But I couldn't get anybody on the medical staff to listen to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And no charges were filed for beating up a commissioned officer on federal grounds to the point where he needed skull films.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought, what on earth is going on? What kind of cover-up is this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean this involves a lot of people in a lot of high places.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think a lot of people thought I was uhm, overreacting. And people would say to me, you don't have any real evidence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was always the Indian Health Service line, too. You know, we've looked at the data bank. There's no complaints on him. Uhm, he's clean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I learned that there was a psychologist who had worked with him at Browning and was aware of his activities at Browning, Montana prior to 1995 when he came here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zero in on a population consisting of normal weight boys and teenage boys. It just seemed incomprehensible to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And finally I said something really out of line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that remark went right to Washington. I was branded as a violent, out of control person. And within a few weeks was traveling up to Belcourt, North Dakota.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The nurses came up to me and said, now you know why we don't say anything, doctor. Look what they've done to you. I was ordered to leave. I was chased off by a pedophile and the people who chose him over me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The biggest loser in all of this will be science. And I'm here to defend science.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alone, you dare enter my inner sanctum and dictate your petty mortal terms to me. I am immortal little man, and your pathetic prophecy is known to me. But you are ignorant. Ignorant of the real truth of your situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For decades, the founders fought fiercely against the spawns of Satan, and finally tipped the equilibrium in God's favor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The founders used that power to purify themselves, abandoning their human forms and transforming them into spiritual beings whose power was second only to gods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This place is where one of your founders ascended into heaven, and where I was born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the place where, according to your prophecy, a warrior of light will reclaim the power of my beloved brother in heaven and I too will diminish. If that were to occur, he would die with me. Because we are still the same being.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, brother. Even you have to smile at the irony of it all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps he is willing to sacrifice himself for you. For the greater good. I, however, am NOT! I am Fulndale, Lord of the Lightwinners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got a couple of employees here that are in trouble. And not only does the employee...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man. Sorry. I'm a bit jumpy lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not even supposed to come see you. Why does she care? She's worried I'll get you into trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, big up AJ has been showing me love from when I first came in the game, you feel me? And like, yeah, we just grew a natural bond. From there, I showed him the track, he was feeling it, and he dumped on it as well, and it was just a classic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, like, let's say two years before I jumped in the game. Okay. And it's just officially been a year now. Okay. Yeah. So you were just rapping on the block or whatever? Yeah, I was rapping on the block. All my bedrooms were telling me, like, yeah, they're feeling this. You should go on the mic, like, get me, don't waste your talent, et cetera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Big man up. But yeah, like, from there, we had a plan for the year. Set a couple targets. And I'll be raw, like, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be real, a lot of artists that are in the game, you gotta have fixed skin to be in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously my mom would always support my music, but like, she was surprised before me, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they sometimes will come pull up, lock off my short.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things are against Allah. The use of today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've also done other tunes that represent different emotions, so like, it's not really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like personally, it's like a book. And you gotta read the chapters of the artist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotta give artists a chance to express themselves. Same way how normal people get to express themselves. Wear the voice of the streets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was definitely influenced from out in Chicago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm referring to violin music. Right. I'm referring to violin music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the encouragement like, all the things that I'm doing encourages the people around me. So it's just positive energy, you feel me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could never imagine like, and it's been in the year as well, do you get me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes of course things sound a bit cliche and the same, but there's also like some different, different talents out there, do you feel me? But we gotta show you that, yeah, we'll show you that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People were clocking, like, and rapping. People in my area were encouraging and spreading the word as well. So like, yeaah, like, me and my managers hit up Kenny, boom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's feeling the mad about bars and from there we just made it happen. Started with a freestyle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then from there, elevated people felt that freestyle. And it's like, what I'll also forget as well is, last year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He seemed pretty astounded. He brought it back and made you redo the whole thing. Yea, big up Charlie. He's never, he don't really do that as well. Yea. But it's like, yea man, it's all, it's all a blessing really. It's all come quickly and I'm just taking my chances as I go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes it seems like it gets lost. You gotta focus on your rep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do my stubs, do my ad-libs, break it down properly so I know exactly what goes where. I'm like, yeah, like, if I feel like it's not 100% as well, I use it like, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need to make sure I'm 110%, you feel me? Yeah, I've got a lot of songs that I don't put out. If I feel like this ain't good enough or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My two managers as well feel like it's not good enough. All three of us don't feel like this is the one. I'ma put it to the side until we all feel it and other people around me feel it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see over here, we've been pre-ing, like, we've been pre-ing the music vibes up in America, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, two hundred and- two hundred and seven thousand, two hundred and twenty one dollars, all for charity. So, sincerely, thank you guys so much. That's- that's absolutely incredible because at the beginning of this year, my goal-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feel appreciated for what? Cause I'm one guy. I can't go individually. If I could go to one of you and shake your hand and say thank you or give you a hug or something, I'd do it. But, you know, I'm just one guy. In Ohio. Can't do much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I really am glad that there's such a following and such support. So, uh, if you haven't seen it yet, it's not organized in season 3. I just kinda mish-mashed everything in one big playlist so everyone could see the whole history of Drunk Minecraft if you wanted to. It's seriously a funny series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has its moments where it's not as funny, just where it drags on a bit, but that's cause it's just long uncut episodes, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All sorts of entertainment that you guys can really enjoy. I mean, you guys have really been liking the sketch comedy videos that I've been doing with Cyndigo. And I've got some more stuff in store that I'm gonna work on with Wade and other people in the Cincinnati area, other friends of mine that I wanna...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty darn high. Or else, we're, we're gonna smash it way too soon. If I said 2 million in a year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know we'd get there way before now. So I'm gonna really reach for this next one. If we can get, and today is November... Oh god, what day is today? Today is November 11th. If we can get... This is a big number!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get some forums up there and uhm, I'm working with Maker Studios and hopefully there's gonna be something really cool. Maybe not this year, but next year there's gonna be a really cool hub site for all of us to go to and really communicate in, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For everything that you've done for me, but if we can hit 5 million in another year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dare to challenge me? You will die for your blasphemy! Your soul belongs to me!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, with Rodeo Arcade, to make this shirt, and you may be saying like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, it's a normal shirt, you've seen it before, but no. It's got this very special little detail here, that was actually surprisingly hard to put on, but it's got a little heart,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, a lot of you have been asking for, like, shirts to go towards donation, and I've made it so that the most amount of money possible out of each shirt goes straight to donation. So if you've seen these before, these are really great shirts, uhm, they're very comfortable, I'm wearing a size medium right now, it fits very well, it's pretty long, which I like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flaking, it actually seems like it's part of a shirt, so uh, and uh, same with this on the sleeve there, that's really nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that may seem like a lot, but I've got over 800,000 subscribers. I think that we can manage that. So, sincerely, thank you guys for your support. I'm really happy. And uh, thank you Rodeo Arcade for making this for me and uh, working out this deal. So, I look forward to this weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, in other news, yesterday I was supposed to post this video because I want to start doing vlogs every week so that I can keep in touch with you guys and, uh, really let you guys know what's going on in my life because there's been a lot of stuff that's been happening, uh, with me going to LA and me making about, I don't know, 20 to 30 videos. I don't even know how many, but a lot of stuff is gonna be coming out in the near future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm really excited about that, but one of them came out yesterday, which was another hot pepper game review. If you don't know what that is, it's where I ate a habanero pepper, and I cry like a little baby and try to review games. And I've reviewed, uh, Rogue Legacy and Amnesia, a machine for pigs, which is the one that came out yesterday. So if you haven't seen it yet, click.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of the videos that I did in LA are gonna be coming out very soon. I mean, uh, some I did with Jesse Cox that are probably some of the funniest I've seen in a long time. Maybe that's just me personally, but I had a lot of fun recording it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna be coming out in the next week or so, and I will let you guys know when they do. Uhm, also, I'm gonna be trying to do a lot more collabs with other guys. You may have seen already, uh, just as soon as I got back. I did something with CaptainSparklez and, uh, Yamimash. CaptainSparklez I met while I was in LA, and I talked to him quite a bit, and he's a really cool guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yami Mash of course is GIANT DOOSHIT I HAV- Oh, I love Yami Mash and he's- he's totally cool and I'm hoping to do more with him and uh, gonna be collaborating with more people in the future so just stay tuned for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something stupid on YouTube's part, I don't know why they did this, but if you go to your subscription feed, and you click on manage subscriptions, you'll see all your subscriptions there, and there'll be check boxes that say, notify me when they upload, and I go, if you're subscribing to a channel, you wanna be notified when they upload a video, but now you have to do it manually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For some reason. So if you're having problems, uh, do that. It's a simple fix, but I don't know why YouTube didn't do it in the first place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So since the subscriber feed isn't working, it's actually been negatively affecting my channel. I've been talking to other YouTubers at the same time, and until YouTube sorts this out, we literally haven't been able to get the videos out to more people, and people that are already subscribed to our channel. It's really silly and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't know when YouTube's gonna sort it out, but in the meantime, I really need you guys' help. I'm gonna rely on you, uh, to spread the word about the channel and share the videos around. And I know you guys do a great job at it. I wouldn't be where I am today if you weren't some of the most supportive, uh, people on YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wants to see more of the gaming commentary, or the charity livestreams, or the other stuff, or maybe sketch comedy, or, or some random video that I do that they may like, please share the video, tell a friend about it today, uhm, it'll really go a long way to help out, and, and seriously it'll help the channel grow tremendously, which it already has, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're, we're kinda, I looked at the statistics today, we're kinda on track to hit a million subscribers by...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's about it. Thank you guys sincerely so much for watching. I'll try to get these V-logs out to you every Monday. I don't care if you call them vlogs, I call them V-logs. They will be coming out on a regular basis because I want to keep you guys in the loop on stuff that's going on with my channel and my life. So thanks again everybody for watching. And I'll see you in the next video. Buh-bye!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nancy Pelosi came up in a historical era where we did see politics as combat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was such a white-knuckle moment. Whatever the rules said, you just had to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold down the fort and make sure this thing didn't get further out of hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were 23 women in the 435 member House of Representatives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's on the front page of the newspaper the day after she's born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a girl for the Alessandro's is the headline after, you know, they'd had five boys. So there's never a time when she's not in the spotlight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He pursued a career in finance and moves to San Francisco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was also from an early age involved in, uh, in the favor file that was kept in the parlor of their row house on Albemarle street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then their name would be kept on file for when the next election came around and the mayor needed a favor in return. So she was in charge of that from the time she was about 11.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nancy Pelosi came up in a historical era where you increasingly did see politics as combat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she always said, you know, every morning I put on a suit of armor, eat nails for breakfast, and go out and do battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She concluded early on based on conversations with some sort of branding experts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the most important thing to do was drive down Bush's popularity, drive down the Republicans' popularity, cover them in mud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The politics of this were very fraught. They knew people weren't gonna like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the sort of classic bipartisan situation where if everybody agrees to do the unpopular thing, no one can be attacked for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the stock market crashes as it becomes clear that the Congress doesn't have the votes to pass this bailout. And she's watching this happen. They didn't pass it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was clear that she believed that he was too trusting, too confident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The political advisors within the White House, from Emanuel and David Axelrod, thought it's time to cut our losses, get something small done so we can kind of save face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was really in this climactic meeting where she said in front of everyone, Mr. President, I know there are people telling you to take the namby-pamby approach. I'm here to tell you we can still get this done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Symbolically, Nancy Pelosi is the institutionalist. She represents everything people hate about the system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything people wanna smash using the bluntest instrument available to them, even if it's Donald J. Trump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In so many ways, the contrast with Trump made people see her in a new light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was such a contrast with him as a woman, but also as an institutionalist who was a stickler for the rule of law as someone who believed in building up government rather than tearing it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you might have some beautiful ideas, but you're not part of this process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We saw her become more comfortable in her own skin, more assertive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps less tolerant of dissent. Perhaps less tolerant of criticism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really felt like this was the last straw, even for some of his closest allies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think anyone would accuse Nancy Pelosi of being naive about the Republican Party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's had decades to become pretty cynical about her opponents and their intentions and their motivations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you read that transcript, you're taken into a moment of pure crisis in American history. It is an amazing historical moment to be in On the Call with Pelosi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She goes to Schumer and she says we need to get Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they call up Pence. The phone rings in rings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pelosi turns to Schumer and says if he's not going to take this call, we need to move toward impeachment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I would go to dinner with House Republicans in 2009, 2010, they would tell me they wanted to make Pelosi a villain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a push to get her out of there, even though she carried them back to power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some House Democrats privately meet in the days after the election and say, hey, we have an opening here. Maybe we can get someone else to step in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Impeachment chops the relationship in half. If there was any thread left, it's gone after impeachment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says she's despicable. He rails against her mental acuity. Every name in the book is hurled at Pelosi by Trump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Pelosi, this is a rolling, cascading crisis. It didn't end on January 20th. Pelosi more than anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Understands that Republicans now and in the coming months are going to be on the march.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She grew up in the rough and tumble of Baltimore politics, where her father was mayor. So she's a very down-to-earth politician.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she's very tough. She's very pragmatic in a lot of ways. But she's very determined. She can be very magnetic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the sort of person you naturally perceive as a leader and that people are willing to follow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing that Nancy Pelosi has never been accused of is like bringing a knife to a gunfight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of her modus operandi is basically that you can't do anything unless you win elections, right? You have to have the power in order to exercise the power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though they were Republicans, she understood the gravity of the crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And saw it as a matter of duty, really, uhm, and responsibility that transcended partisan politics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She watched the evolution of the Republican caucus and watched as it became more difficult to deal with and more willing to grandstand for the Republican base. She had very little patience for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was just genuinely appalled by Trump from that first meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pelosi thought that this was an outrageous act for a president to commit and that there was no choice but to go to impeachment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The aim was to stop a constitutional responsibility to stop Congress from certifying the results of the election. The reaction you saw from Speaker Pelosi was genuine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tommy, Tommy, listen to me. He is the contractor. He's the contractor, okay? I can't lose this job. I understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, I'm gonna jump down there and I'm gonna clear us a path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're gonna lean right into that stock, cause it is gonna kick a hell of a lot more than any baby rifle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go and pull the bolt back. Grab it right there. Just tug it. Here you go. As soon as you fire, you're gonna want to get another round in there quick. Listen to me. If I get into trouble down there, you make every shot count. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Let's go find that radio tower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure from mankind and you wanna play the pissy little brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt I had a duty to report. I have no personal vendetta against Clarence Thomas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's a little ointment, it will help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Silly daddy, what have I done? I got a paper cut on my thumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you like to have something to eat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will you eat your broccoli, then a treat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's getting late! Time to start winding down for the night!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you like some milk in your bottle now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to have a cuddle on the couch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, whatever it is you heard, it ain't true, okay? I just want to say-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, sure, but, it's complicated. Look, alright, just hear me out on this. I got-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got a whole lot of them. Hey, Tommy, give me a hand with this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just saw her riding on outta here. Go back inside. Help the others clean the place up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please don't betray this nation's great history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Nancy's in a situation where it's not easy for her to talk right now, and I understand that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here tonight is a special man. Beloved by millions of Americans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rush Limbaugh, thank you for your decades of tireless devotion to our country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's hard to get any word in with this clown. Excuse me, this- Hey, let me just tell you- No, no, no! So, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or, uh, in some other way. If you count the legal votes, I easily win. If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was so determined to keep Republicans out of the process, and so emotionally negative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Obama would give on some issue, she immediately spoke up, we're not doing that. That's not coming out of the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time that he would say, I'm reaching out to Republicans, she would publicly say, no, we aren't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's face it, Nancy Pelosi is one of the most unpopular political figures across the spectrum. Democratic Party will be destroyed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the first time ever in an off-year election, the Democrats significantly outraised the Republicans, and that's because of Nancy Pelosi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never seen anything like it, and it's because of Nancy Pelosi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Donald Trump, to this day, does not realize how embarrassed he was by her. How the public looked at this, and even if they didn't like her, they still thought, way to go sister.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just swatted him away with a single statement. You owned him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please welcome, from all my children, James Mitchell, from the bold and the beautiful, Kimberlyn Brown, and from days of our lives, Louise Sorrell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There better have been an army in that truck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got nothing but nightmares from those years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We ain't back in Boston. You lay your hands on me again, it won't end well for you. The hell is that? We're under attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at this. Alright, we did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd rather him be on the field than the elf. Little person. Little person. And he's a great actor. Uh, but, uh, I'm not a big fan of the new dog logo either, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we're gonna piss some people off. You and I are both good at doing that. A lot to get to on today's show. We will get into how the practice squad filled itself out, make a couple of interesting moves there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come up with mostly Mike and the guys behind the scenes. I think I sent him one also. Uh, some fake trades that would make the NFL, which is already exciting, even more exciting this year. So that and a whole lot more that we're going to get to today. Plus 32 and 32 continues with our, what, number five guy? Number five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should we say who it is, or you wanna say- It's Amari Cooper. Number five. There you go. Amari Cooper, number five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, so let's, there's Mikey. Let's say hello to Mike for the first time today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I didn't even realize they claimed a kicker off. Somehow, not claimed, but signed one to a practice squad. I didn't even, I somehow missed that move. Don't they still have one spot open?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So where do you wanna start? You just got caught. Doesn't make any sense. Well, to me, first of all, you mentioned to me...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As opposed to AJ Green who's more of a zone corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so that's why the Browns were interested in replacing A.J. Green because the Browns are going to run a lot more man this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do think the PJ Walker move also, Jason, is interesting because even though DTR is the backup quarterback and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, not that Pete, I'm thinking anything special with PJ Walker, but at least he's a guy who's played in the league a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, as far as I've seen, I haven't really looked this morning. I don't think anybody else has picked up, uh, Mon, right? Has not been picked up. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, couple of other notes that are interesting. Alex Leatherwood was a first round pick. Yeah. Now he's been, he was a total bust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't even like, oh, one good year, one bit, no, he said no good years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been horrible. As bad as you could be. However, I'll say this again, it's a long shot. Nobody's expecting him to do anything. You got probably the best online coach in the league. Now that hasn't helped Jendrick Wills that much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is a practice squad edition, so there's really no, there's zero risk. Obviously there's some potential upside with this guy. He was drafted in the first round, you'd think there'd be it. So, you know, it seems like an interesting move. It'll probably never matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Bill Callahan's old enough at this point, he's probably not looking for another head coaching job. No, no. He's, I don't see any reason why they, they probably pay him well for a position coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So one thing I would say though is, his son is the Bengals OC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you wonder if his son eventually gets a head coaching job, would he go with him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't it interesting that the, the, you know, those great Alabama, that, that, that both tackles from that team are, I, I, uh, judgment was, I'm not going to say he's a bust, but he's not been very good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, we'll see. That's another story for another day. We'll get to that later. Uh, anything else? Uh, one note, I believe Demetri Felton is going to sign with the Bengals practice squad today. You wonder if the Bengals


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they're just doing that for intel. I don't know if teams really do that. They don't care about the Browns. Yeah, fair enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Even if they knew what they were running, like who, stop, stop it. And the Bengals kept four running backs on their active rosters, so he'd be their fifth. Fifth, right? I don't think they ever did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's versatile, he just isn't, he just doesn't. I can't imagine he's ever getting on the active roster. Unless they have a lot of injuries. But, I guess you never know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Well, Bull predicted it. I said nobody would claim Austin Watkins, and I said that nobody would claim Cade York, and, and they didn't. Uh, there weren't that many players claimed. 23 in total. That's not a lot. I mean, how many players were on waivers? 500? Yeah. Yeah, like 40 times 32, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, not, some of them are veterans, so they don't go on waivers, but hundreds and hundreds of players and only twenty-seven. There were two guys, one guy got claimed by four teams and one guy got claimed by three teams. I never heard of either guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. I know. I, I just don't think, yeaah. And the rest of the guys, I didn't, I, I didn't think Cade York was ultimately getting a claim, which he didn't, because after what he, how he played the back half last year, and what, all the problems he had this season, I didn't think any team wanted to start the season with him as a kicker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, obviously I thought teams would be interested for him in the practice squad, because there remains potential, and I'm not surprised that Cade York


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went somewhere else. If I were Cade York, I would have gone somewhere else too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still don't understand why Robbie Gould is not on the team, but there must be something there that we don't know about. I don't know what the hell is happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright Mike, let's switch things up here. Will you gotta read to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Been a record breaking month for the show. We appreciate that. Mike alluded to a big announcement coming next week. Uh, I thought we would do it tomorrow, but apparently it's not till next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're all really excited to tell everybody about this announcement, but we'll leave it there for now. Sorry, we just gotta tease you with this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is really exciting news, which we will get to, uh, whatever. Okay, but for now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe Burrow put out an Instagram post yesterday with a way too tight Lebron jersey, and you can see on the bottom it says, he's back. Burrow, we talked about this yesterday, guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that was the biggest story yesterday for week one. Brown Bengals was, would Joe Burrow practice yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did practice. The media, now that it's regular season practice, the media only gets to see 30 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I was texting with James Rapin, uh, both before prac- well, after the first 30 minutes that he got to see and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I texted with him and saw some of the other media members saying, apparently the players didn't even realize this was happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, or unless they're lying, I don't know, but T Higgins, uhm, and, and Jamar Chase made it seem like they were completely shocked that he came out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they weren't, you know, they might not be on, you know, who knows. But uhm, anyway, the point is he did practice, supposedly looked fine. I saw his leg, he didn't have a sleeve on it. So I thought that was interesting, so there was nothing there. Now, when you have a soft, you know, an injury like a calf or a, or a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, hamstring or a quad, whatever, you're, you're, there's always a concern that you could re-injure it, especially because a lot of times with those type of injuries, like the one he has, sometimes you feel 100% and then maybe you go full


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the Chiefs play the Lions, can't wait for that. This is the last weekend without football, guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The brow, the, when this, when the line first came out on this game, you know, back in July or whatever it was, maybe June, the Bengals were a three point favorite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It went down to one and a half with the uncertainty with Burrow, but because it only went down to the Bengals favor by one and a half, Vegas assumed the whole time that Burrow was going to play, otherwise the Browns would have become favorites. The Bengals, as of this morning, were still a two and a half point favorite in Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if, if Joe Burrow didn't play, the Bengals starting quarterback would be Jake Browning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't think he's ever taken an NFL snap. Can you double check that, Mike?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would think the Browns would be favored by at least a field goal, if not more. Probably more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The difference between burrow and browning has got to be worth a touchdown, if not more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, obviously, it's a totally different game now that we know for sure that Joe Burrow's playing. Your first reaction to this, G. Bush, when you say this, are you, is there a little part of you that's happy because you want to beat the best to be the best? Or are you like, well, this sucks because without him,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had a much, not that the Browns can't win, it's a toss-up game, but uh, obviously the Browns' chances of winning are significantly higher with Jake Browning. I might not even be saying his name right, I don't even remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jason, the Browns don't play the Eagles this year in the regular season. They don't play the Bills. They don't play the Chiefs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So any, any, any other quarterback you were going to argue better than Joe Burroughs. There's no argument, Patrick Mahomes is the best. But the other guys that may be in the debate, Joe Burroughs is the best quarterback you're going to face this year. Yep. And you face him in week one. You like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the Browns in a year, with everything on the line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with a lot to prove, right? We've talked about the talent a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the Browns have proven, this Browns team has not shown you anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they had an opportunity. Right. And they didn't do anything last year. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously they have a better chance to win without Burrow. However, when the game's over, if the Browns win...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm saying that you should want Borough to play for that reason. I'm saying if he does play and the Browns win, well I shouldn't say if he does play, he's playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Browns win, you're gonna be flying off that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get what you're saying, but as a fan, you're gonna feel better beating Joe Burrow than you would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll feel great either way, but you'll feel greater beating Joe Burrow. Alright, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm expecting Denzel Ward to be back from a concussion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But with Borough playing, it's a much bigger deal. The Browns need Denzel Ward. You want all hands on deck when you face that offense. And Denzel Ward, now because the focus was, you know, not from a Browns perspective, but maybe, but the focus nationally on this game in terms of injuries was on Borough. Well now it's not. Now it's on Ward. Because,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The difference between having two solid corners and three is a big deal when you're playing a team like the Bengals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, you know, obviously Taki Taki and Anthony Walker haven't played much, but they're supposed to be ready to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Health-wise, again, it's an unknown award because it is a concussion you don't know. I think we're all going to assume he's going to play until we see him not play. But the Browns got through this training camp slash


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if Joe Mixon did, I don't think he did either. I, you know, so did most of it. They're a line played some, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the most part, their Bengals didn't start an offense, didn't play much at all, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's funny is week one is really the hardest week to predict in the NFL. It is. And yet people overreact to week one as if that's what the theme is all the time. Well that's the only thing you have to go off. True. I mean we all do it. Yeaah. But, but it is interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] PCSC is the OG of, uh, Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show advertising. We love them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna say 83 wins. 83 yes on Borough. We all saying yes on Borough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, speaking of competition in the AFC, Mike, we're gonna switch gears and go to that next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love all you guys. I bust your balls because that's how I show my love. That's what I do with Anthony. That's what I do with Earl. That's what I do with Mike. That's what I do with all these guys. That's how I show my love is bust some balls. So I love everybody in the chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, even the ones who say I'm horrible should be fired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who said that? I'll go fight him. I'll go fight him. Nobody said that recently, but there was actually a Jets fan once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I picked the Jets to lose when I was working in New York who said, I hope you have a heart attack and die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 1868. We've been shattering records this week. That's not it. We're getting, you know, we got to shatter the new records we've set this week. We need a few hundred more people to get in there. So tell your friends, tell your cousins, tell your mom, get them all in here. And we appreciate everybody in the chat. All right, let's get to this. The competition in the AFC is tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've talked a lot about the other AFC North teams, but Mike, today we're talking about the other teams in the AFC that the Browns might have to potentially battle with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, do they still love Patrick Mahomes? I do believe they still love Patrick Mahomes. At worst, they're just as good. Because as long as they have him...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna be the favorites to win the Super Bowl pretty much every year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I've never seen anything like it. I think if he stays healthy, he's going to be the greatest football player that ever lived. And the greatest football player that ever lived just retired in Tom Brady. There's no doubt in my mind that Patrick Mahomes will be the best player ever. I've never seen anybody this good this quick. I don't think anybody's been close. Maybe Dan Marino was close this quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, so as long as he's there, they're fine. I mean, what have they lost? They lost their starting le- They lost one of their starting offensive linemen to the Bengals. They lost one of their starting safeties to the Browns. Uh, did they lose anything else?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously the Chiefs beat the Bengals in the AFC Championship game, right? Mhm. And yet I rooted for the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. No. If the Chiefs had beaten the Browns in the AFC Championship, would you have rooted for the Chiefs? I just love Patrick Malm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do the chargers match up with the Browns? I think it's very close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very good. The Browns choked that game last year. Big time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, Justin, the Chargers are another team, like the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a ton to prove. Absolutely. Justin Herbert was anointed in that top group of quarterbacks and unlike the rest of the top group of quarterbacks, he hasn't won a single game that's mattered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zero playoff wins in three years in the league. Now, is it all his fault? Of course not. How many points did he put up in that playoff game against Jacksonville? Would they have 35?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but you could also argue, well, as his defense was collapsing, maybe he should have been able to score one more touchdown in the second half. When you're that great a quarterback, you gotta be able to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Austin Eckler to me, one of the most underrated backs in the league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's a very good player. He's not like a monster between the tackles, but he's a great pass catcher. Mike Williams and the underrated, speaking of underrated, still good even though he's old. Keenan Allen in LA. I mean they're a really good team. I don't love their coach. I think they're neck and neck with the Browns, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm leaning towards picking the Browns as a playoff team and having the Chargers out, so I guess I'll put the Browns just ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you could argue it's the greatest collection of quarterbacks in one conference ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ever. Yeaah. And Peyton Manning and Tom Brady played together with, with Philip Rivers and, and, and Big Ben. And Big Ben. But, I mean, the quality of quarterbacks in the AFC right now


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, you got the two terrible teams in the, in the south, right? You got, uh, Houston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, what's that? They're always hurt. Jerry Judy. Yeah, Jerry Judy's out. I didn't see that. He got hurt again. I think he's out for a month. Oh, I didn't see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do we all think they're gonna be under 500? I do. They're cronchos? Yes. Yes. Yeah. Okay, go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean I like the Chargers, they're on the same plane of teams. I mean 9.1 and 9.0 is hardly a difference there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With them is to stay healthy. Right. And is the guy we saw last year when he was healthy, is that the real deal? Because you know, they got two of the best receivers in the league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's gonna be a combo of Raheem Mostert, uhm, Jeff Wilson,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, I'm down, I'm not high on the Dolphins. I think they were like an 8, 9, 9, and 18 this year for me. I think, I mean, I don't think they're that far from the Browns, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the Browns are better. I think the Browns have a better record than the Dolphins. Go ahead, Mike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's, that's, that was put out by that clown, I'm not even gonna say his name, who retweets everything. And... I don't know who you're talking about. I don't know if that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'd say there's no way that actually happened, but the cults are run by such idiots, between Jim Ursay and Chris Ballard, that they don't know what they're doing. Which makes me think, like, by the way, let me give you some advice. Stay away from Anthony Richardson in Fantasy Leagues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their offense is gonna be so bad, and he's gonna turn the ball over a ton as a rookie. They have a bad offensive line. Right? They have no running back. So he's gonna have the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're right there. I put them third of the three, but I think people are two down on Buffalo this year. You know, maybe because they've lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? Like they were getting maybe a little overhyped for a couple years and now it's like, we gotta push them down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Devin Miller is hurt, like Devin Singletary not on the team anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he does turn it over too much. He turns it over too much and they put too much on him. You know, they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, what will be interesting is they just, they drafted a tight end in the first round whose name is escaping me right now. And tight ends don't often make an impact as rookies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But everybody's really high on this guy, they think, cause like they don't have a second pass catcher that's a, that's very good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and they, a lot of people think he's gonna be, like, make an impact as a rookie. So that would be something to keep an eye on. The Bills are still really good. Yes. And they're a team that's proven they can win a lot of games and, and at least win a playoff game every year. Go ahead, Mike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. You don't start really worrying until early next week, but there, uh, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Jets are fascinating. They're very much like the Browns. It's like you don't know what to expect from the quarterback. It's for different reasons. He's old. Uhm, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Jets, if you look at their skill positions...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are loaded with talent. Okay, they don't really have much of a tight end. They have two, like, okay guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you got Breece Hall, he's coming off an injury, but he's practicing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the best one-two punch in the NFL. You got one better?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the best 1-2 punch. Garrett Wilson was phenomenal as a rookie, playing with garbage quarterbacks. He's gonna be even better. They brought in, uhm, Alan Lazard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who has developed under Aaron Rodgers. They have that chemistry already. McCall Harbin. They got, I mean, McCall Harbin's not that good, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there are some question marks on their offensive line. But again, it comes down to is Aaron Rodgers still a Pro Bowl caliber player? If he is, then the Jets, like the Browns, I think will go to the playoffs. If he's not, they won't. It's really that simple. It's interesting because Aaron Rodgers clearly showed signs of decline last year. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, I thought Tom Brady did in his last year in New England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he was rejuvenated being on a new team with better receivers and he played like an MVP again. Will Rodgers do the same thing? It's only two years ago that he won the MVP. Rodgers in decline is still a really good quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was middle of the road last year. Yes, he was, but now I'm not, I'm saying he could bounce back to be a top 10 guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They should be pretty good. If Rodgers is good, they'll be a good team. I expect them to make the playoffs. You know, that's my expectation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, you ready? Jet schedule? Quickly? Yea, quickly. Week 1. Bills at home. They got the bills at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I'm high on Jacksonville. They got, their wide receiving core is really good and underrated. Ooh, they got Kirk, Zay, Zay, Calvin Ridley now. I mean, he hasn't played for two years. They have Ridley, Chris, Christian Kirk. They got Ridley, Kirk, and Zay Jones. Zay Jones. They've got a nice backfield with Etienne and Tank, Bigsby, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get it. Most people would pick Herbert. Herbert's probably the right choice. Obviously he's more proven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I agree with that. I would flip-flop Miami in the Chargers. I think the Jets won, Chargers 2, Miami 3. That's amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I-I'm leaning towards the Browns as the sixth seed, the Jets as the seventh seed, the Chargers as the eight and out, and the Dolphins as the nine and out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On my list, I think he might be five also. No, I got him even higher. I had him three.

[Assistant] I had a Mario Cooper at three, Mike. What do you guys think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Amari Cooper is one of the five most important players on the Browns. Does everybody think that? Five most important people?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second most important person on the Browns. Behind my top five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause he's close to the number one. My top five is Watson, Miles Garrett,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marry Cooper, Nick Chubb, and Joel Petonio. Now you could argue I got Petonio way too high. Yea, you got Petonio way too high. We talked about that earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's very important to what they do offensively, guys. Obviously, he's by far their best receiver. He's their only proven receiver. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, now, he's been up and down in his career. Like, when he came out, you would have thought he would have had a 1200-yard season by now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so he's had some up and down moments for whatever reason he hasn't played as well on the road. I don't know why that is. You never think, like you think about that with baseball players. I don't really think about that with football players. Except for maybe quarterbacks in a dome or something like that, but whatever. But Amari Cooper is a great route runner and has great hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, deserves to be in the top five, certainly, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, speaking real quick Jason, speaking of big pass catchers, T.J. Hawkinson has just reset the tight end market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kelsey's making an average on his contract of 14.3. That's insane. What a bargain he is. I wonder when he's up. Yea, but he's getting old. He's old. He's going to be a weird contract to do. He might be like a one year 25 million dollar contract. Something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 100% true, 100%. Cooper and Chubb are great examples for the rest of the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you don't, but he's not a problem in terms of being a diva. Yea, like, no, like. You know, that's not an issue. Alright, Mike, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I don't know enough about Jordan Davis to know what his values are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our resident Eagles fans, Steve Becker and Eagles fans are unbearable at this point. I mean, the Phillies are playing well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least the Sixers are a disaster, that's good. Uh, he says he wouldn't make the trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they brought in DeAndre Swift who's, you know, pretty talented. Yeaah. But he can't stay healthy though, so I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's true. Go ahead, Mike. I don't think you'd trade- I don't think he'd be traded unless that was part of the, like, plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, you say they don't have a bonafide first receiver as if they have a guy who could be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cooper Cup for a second and fourth this year and a second next season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's old too. And he got traded for two ones, didn't he? What did he get traded for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have Earl sitting in the background there, and you didn't get Earl to move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, Mike asked me, as you've said, give me a trade that would be fun, would be like a fun trade. Yea, it would make the season more fun, that's all we're doing. And that's why I said it. I think that's fair compensation. Alright. Now. That's fine. Why would Tyvis say, of course I want him to go to the Chiefs, why would I want him to go to the, that's the last team I want him to go to. That's yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You playing, you playing 96 rules or you playing, you got a three point line?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So why would I trade, like I- He's now a second string linebacker. Why would I trade another linebacker that's a, a slappy, just like the guest slappies I already have, and give up a piece of my offense?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you, you're trading for a guy that the team that drafted him last year said, we better sign three linebackers cause he stinks. And he was very productive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but if I'm gonna trade a Premier Offensive lineman, I want more than...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guy on defense and two mid-round picks. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's a good trade. I mean, Aaron Donald, my first reaction was like the Browns have given up too much. But then I'm like, Aaron Donald is still playing at a Hall of Fame level. And DeJuan Jones, while I like the potential, that's all it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd have to give up. You'd have to- We know he's the biggest homer on the show. You'd have to give up. Like, they might not- I can't believe he's not here to get crushed right now. They might not do that with a first round pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't do that if I were the Rams for a first round pick. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has no interest to any team that may be looking to next year. He's average at best. Yes! So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, he may turn out to be a good player, but his value in a trade hasn't gone up much if at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. But now, if Watson has a great season this year, then it changes, because then you're like, okay, I don't care about his contract, he's worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They tried to get him. They just drafted. Atlanta just drafted him. He hasn't been ridder two years ago. He ain't that young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Say that again? I'm not doing that if I'm the Browns. Say that again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love George Kittle and he's, and he's better than Nijoku, but he's not young and he's injury prone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, answering it that way, to me it's Imani Bates. Now in the moment, it's the Browns because the only thing anybody cares about is the Browns. But Imani Bates got way more high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, for me, this is very tough between the, uh, Bonnie Bates is not in the conversation for me. It's between the other two guys. Why it's tricky is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DTR played five years of college football. He is more seasoned than the other guys, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DTR has never had any issues off the field. There's never been a talk about maturity issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any problems off the field. So it all makes me want to lean towards him. However, uhm, he might not get the opportunity. That's exactly right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, I'm going with the big fella. He's gonna get the opportunity. The Browns have gotten it. He will probably play this year at some point. And he, he may Wally Pip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoever he ends up taking over for. I know it's an old reference, look it up. Uh, but I think he's got the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not even, like, these guys are gonna be here for a few years. I'm not even sure Monty Bates will be here in two years.
