[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so. I think, uh, if we had been told to stop the looting, uh, and secure, uh, key elements of the city, uh, we could have been forced to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's an incentive to make as much money as you can for the firm. Uhm, and in some senses, I think for the traders, they think, hey, I earned a billion dollars this year. I deserve some small percentage of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I think is incorrect about that is the behavior that that incentivizes is I'm gonna go for broke. I'm gonna try and make as much money as I can and if it blows up three years from now that's not gonna affect the bonus I make today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I first saw Occupy Wall Street, I was highly skeptical, and I just thought I would be shut down on day one like I think most people did. And then they had this momentum. And then there was the pepper spray incident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those three girls were kettled in the orange, netting and sprayed in the face, and that was the moment where I said, I have to get down there. And I have to, I have to, I have to be involved in this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normally the only people that comment on these regulations are the industries that are about to be regulated. And you can probably guess what they say, right? They say, this is too harsh, you have to take this out, this is going to ruin our business. They'll say this will ruin the economy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was very quick because I was basically over here about 10 days later. He's a can-do type.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The coalition forces did not come to colonize Iraq. We came to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what we gotta do. We gotta go out, find the criminals where they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shortly, I will issue an order on measures to extirpate Ba'athist and Ba'athism from Iraq forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My business isn't second-guess the military guys. We hope that they always act.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a prudent fashion, but one which after all has as its goal protecting our forces first and achieving their objective. And doing that with a minimum, uh, collateral damage to either people or property.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Robust economy at peace with their neighbors with an ability to provide for their kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that we're friends, you should speak with the Wizard King. He's been talking about your arrival. The Wizard lives this way, in the greenhouse, over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goal key. No human has ever laid hands on it before. Let's hope it holds the power to unlock the cafeteria door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not getting passed out, fucker!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trusting you to do what's right. And kid, if you betray us, we'll tell everyone you're a butthole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Humans and Elves of Zaron, a great evil has descended upon us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's this? Oh, the L-stick again? Hang on a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the derivatives and the variable rates, uh, shot up, we knew we could not sustain the debt that we had amazed. And so we just put off the fact that we were in bankruptcy, just like an alcoholic who never admits that they're alcoholic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to, uh, call this meeting of our advisory committee to order.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's this? Join the Kingdom of Koopa Keep to battle the Wicked Elves. All recruits welcome. Sorry Frodo, we don't play Dungeons and Douchebags. Yeah, beat it new kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can't do what this kid asks us to do! He's a conformist! Look at his clothes and his hair!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being Goth isn't just how you dress, it's a frame of mind. It's time for you to prove that you go against society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are only moments to spare. Find a way to disengage the trigger, or all will be lost!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, rehearsals and trying new people in different spots and seeing the best way and the best people for our show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He travels full time. He travels full time. I want to actually get back to something that you said about, you know, being a baseball traditionalist and a purist. I'm the same way. I was, I'm a traditionalist. I love the game of baseball. I grew up playing it. I played in college. Um, like it was very, it's a very big part of my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the one thing that I've learned with this whole process and being here is that they don't have to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Satan's acolytes are readying for his imminent return. Help me stop him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It pleases me to see you recovered, old friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Relax. Our guest is just a little confused. I know what he wants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see before you the legendary vampire killer. Your old weapon, if you recall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only weapon capable of ending your immortal life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But first, you must help me. Prevent Satan's return to the world. Then, I swear to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, even my bodyguard is more than a match for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Acolytes know you are weak and are preparing for their father's return. Now they fear nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They govern the world of men from the shadows. Not even I know with any degree of certainty who or where they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They won't come out into the light unless we can force their hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The acolytes must never know who hunts them down. The element of surprise will give us the advantage. Until you are at full strength again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you know that this city is built upon the foundations of your castle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The acolytes are focusing their attentions here for very good reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Satan has specifically chosen this place for his return. He means to enslave you first. To humiliate you for what you did to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Acolytes must plunge the world into chaos before Satan can be summoned. Their activities leave spectral traces, which are difficult but not impossible to follow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suspect that one of the acolytes is operating from there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The complex was sealed two months ago and is protected by magic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I were to use my powers to see what is happening there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would be able to trace it back to me within a matter of minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I will send you to the corporation via a portal. But we must be quick so as not to arouse suspicion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The longer the portal remains open the more likely we will be discovered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look for any sign of the acolyte. But be careful. What are you waiting for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. To tell you the truth, she hasn't shut up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've tried reading her mind, but there is only chaos and fury there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It must have been created when developing the virus to protect those chosen to serve them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judging by the look of you, sadly it would seem you're not one of the chosen, my dear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm pleased to see you again. What happened to you after you destroyed the acolyte? I lost all trace of you. Where have you been?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But of course you have been away such a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Indeed, but they don't know who was responsible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I fear that it's only a matter of time before he finds us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The third acolyte has come out into the open and is unleashing all his power to find those responsible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This acolyte commands ultimate possession and control over others. Religious power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember, or deal, Gabriel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you will have the eternal peace you desire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We haven't got much merchandise. We've only just opened to the public. Please understand, Majesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was almost two faces of Obama. Publicly he wanted to tell you that these were the fat cat bankers. Privately, he wanted to get them on board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That period, when we go back and look at the history books.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's going to be one of those periods where you look and go, what were they doing? Why did nothing happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still acts, in some cases, depending on who you talk to, like he's Treasury Secretary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Publicly, he wanted to tell you that these were the fat cat bankers. But privately, when he was with the bankers, he wanted to get them on board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't you, uh, get cleaned up in the girls' room, Clem?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't count on it. Just be careful and make sure to keep track of your things. We'll be right next door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By tomorrow morning, if the fever set in, we'll know if she's gonna turn. In the meantime, we can lock her in the shed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alvin, house meeting in five minutes. Oh, okay, thanks. Now you need to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's Sarah? She's got her book. She doesn't need to be a part of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her suturing skills need some work, but otherwise I say she should be fine. So, it wasn't a lurker bite?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it was, the fever would have already set in, and the temperature would be through the roof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but there are a few things you need to know about my daughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You may not get that initially, but once you're around her for a while, you'll understand. If she knew how bad the world is, what it's really like out there, she would cease to function. She's my little girl. She's all I have left, and I would ask that you stay away from her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's okay. You're forgiven. Just don't make any more mistakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trevor died a long time ago, father. You made me what I am. I stand here before you, reborn, a vampire. I am Alucard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only my father Gabriel Belmont can destroy Dracula.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To free mankind from tyranny. If they believed you dead, they would come out into the light once more, would they not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forged this weapon from a fragment of the vampire killer you drove into Camilla's heart. I found it in the castle. All those years ago. The first time we faced each other in combat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your heart is pierced by this weapon, you will fall into a deep sleep. It will not kill you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you would lose all your powers and would not be able to resurrect until it was removed. This is... not the true death you desire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Centuries will pass and his acolytes will start to prepare for his return. Zobeck will no doubt think that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the appropriate time, I will remove the sword. I'll make sure that Zobeck finds you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knows only that with your help can the acolytes be destroyed and Satan's return foiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The long sleep will fragment your memory. Zobeck will only see confusion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In exchange for your help, you'll offer you the one thing you really desire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You thought your weapon broken, but he has found the fragments and rebuilt it. Only he can grant you eternal rest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You must allow the last acolytes summoning ritual to bring Satan to this earth. We can trap him here. And we can destroy him. Forever! For that to happen, you must recover all your powers again. In order to confront him at that critical moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been a long journey. Remember? Remember our pact, father?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, father. We need to hurry. I'll let you know if I find him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Episode Two of A Four Hour Special Investigation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inside, Washington struggled to respond to the meltdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Money, Power, and Wall Street. Episode 2. Tonight on Frontline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was on a cold March day in 2008 that the fear of a meltdown would become a reality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the real estate bubble burst, it would only be a matter of time before investors would start to lose confidence in Wall Street's biggest banks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By hundreds of thousands of subprime mortgages, then bundled and sell them to investors. But now the party was over, and Bayer was spiraling out of control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The top brass at Bayer called Timothy Geithner, the president of the New York Federal Reserve. Geithner was Bayer's last chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geithner realized he needed to know how bad Bear's books looked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He dispatched a SWAT team of investigators from the Federal Reserve to Bears Headquarters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geithner learned that Bayer had made credit default swap deals worth trillions of dollars all over Wall Street and around the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geithner saw what central bankers fear most, systemic risk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bear was frighteningly interconnected with other banks up and down Wall Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bear Stearns, Geithner concluded, was too big to fail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bankruptcy could undermine confidence in every major Wall Street firm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The precipitous collapse of Bear Stearns had taken federal regulators almost entirely by surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A year later, Phil Angelides would chair the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission. In their report


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Commission concluded regulators at the Federal Reserve, the SEC,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And other agencies ignored evidence that Wall Street was flirting with disaster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Washington had steadily moved to a hands-off attitude towards Wall Street. And with little oversight, inside these black boxes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wall Street had created a host of complicated but lucrative financial products.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, with bear failing, those dark markets threaten to bring down the American economy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tim Geithner picked up a phone and called the Chairman of the Federal Reserve in Washington, Ben Bernanke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the depression expert's biggest fears was being realized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lack of confidence in the banks could bring down the entire economy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ...of systemic risk to the financial system if bear collapsed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paulson thought he knew the markets well. Only two years before, he had run Bear's largest competitor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At Goldman, he had overseen the growth of those complicated financial products, and was always a champion of the free market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Bernanke and Geithner believed it was too big to fail. And by that weekend, options were dwindling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would use 30 billion dollars of government money to avoid a bankruptcy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tim Geithner would broker a fire sale of Bear Stearns to JP Morgan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bailing out a major financial institution in crisis was something Tim Geithner had seen before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was taken from a playbook created back in the 1990s. How to respond to a financial crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the Clinton administration, Robert Rubin was the Treasury Secretary. Larry Summers was his top deputy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An undersecretary Tim Geithner was always in the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They engineered massive bailouts when American banks were threatened by financial turmoil overseas. Working with the International Monetary Fund


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rubin and Summers, along with Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, became superstars of the financial world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an approach Geithner took with Bear Stearns, spending lots of money to respond to a financial crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson thought Geithner's strategy might send a dangerous message.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Barack Obama had already made the economy a key issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And right after the Bear Stearns crisis, he turned his attention to Wall Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had an inside source. The man in the pink striped tie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The chairman of UBS Americas, part of the giant Swiss bank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obama decided to confront the bankers on their own turf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But over the next few months, the news didn't get any better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paulson hoped the failure of Bear Stearns was an isolated event. Wall Street was now on notice, and other banks would have to take care of themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paulson told President Bush what was needed now was to rebuild confidence in the economy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bush's speechwriter, Matt Latimer, helped craft the message.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both Paulson and Bernanke insisted all was well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the financial crisis became increasingly obvious, there was no decisive action from those in charge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Assistant Treasury Secretary Michelle Davis said she and Paulson believed the government was powerless to prevent the looming crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the crosshairs, the world's fourth largest investment bank, Lehman Brothers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back when the mortgage business was becoming the biggest casino on Wall Street, Lehman was one of the highest rollers, betting hundreds of billions of dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like Bear Stearns, Lehman's bets had gone bad, and all over Wall Street, they knew it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dick Fuld ran the company. On Wall Street, they called him the Gorilla.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many believed Fold's Lehman Brothers was too big to fail, and Fold seemed to think neither Geithner nor Paulson would ever let it go under.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Fuld believed he had a possible ally in Geithner. He was one of their own. He'd brokered the bear deal. And he was a member of a very exclusive club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geithner argued they might have to follow the bailout playbook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Friday night, September 12th, 2008. After the markets closed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The heads of Wall Street's largest firms were summoned to the Federal Reserve Bank in New York. This weekend would be a critical moment in the story of a meltdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paulson delivered the message. Lehman was in a death spiral. And there would be no government bailout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It didn't take long for candidate Obama to also hear the news. At the time, he had a secret inside source.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] UBS chairman Robert Wolf was stepping out of the meetings to keep Obama up to speed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other Wall Street bank said they were not about to rescue Lehman. But Paulson was standing firm. There would be no bailout. Geithner and Bernanke would go along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By Sunday evening, it was over at Lehman Brothers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lawyers spent the night preparing the bankruptcy papers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Monday morning, Tim Geithner began his day working the phones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His logs from the day showed eight calls with Secretary Paulson. The early vibrations from Wall Street weren't good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paulson had bet the markets would take care of themselves. He would soon discover he was wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At Paulson's office, the telephones lit up. Dozens of calls from around the country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The decision not to bail out Lehman was at the heart of the expanding crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paulson had made the tough decision and was now responsible for the consequences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Barack Obama had been hearing about the meltdown in real time, with constant updates from his economic team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the candidate had another inside source. Hank Paulson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obama was being briefed about a brand new crisis. AIG.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world's largest insurance company was collapsing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obama was told that the failure of AIG was far worse than Lehman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And threatened a full-scale worldwide depression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geithner realized that if AIG went down, the consequences would be even worse than Lehman. He argued for another bailout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paulson, Reeling, changed course again. He'd support Geithner's rescue of AIG.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was at this moment that Geithner faced a fateful decision. One question was especially sensitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should he punish the banks that were parties in AIG's toxic deals by making them take a financial hit? On Wall Street, it's called a haircut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The U.S. government, he said, had no choice but to pay off the big bank's claims against AIG at full value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The decision meant billions of dollars would flow to Wall Street's largest banks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geithner's bailout. Put the government on the hook for more than 180 billion dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goldman Sachs and the other banks would each receive billions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bernanke wanted Paulson to help convince Congress to initiate a massive bailout of Wall Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next day, Paulson and Bernanke traveled to Capitol Hill for an emergency meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bill was stuck. The market's plunging. Suddenly, presidential politics intervened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On September 25th, a hastily called meeting at the White House. Paulson arrived first. Within 20 minutes, Barack Obama, John McCain, and prominent members of the House and Senate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would take another week. But in the end, Congress finally passed Paulson's bill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paulson now had $700 billion known as TARP. Troubled Asset Relief Program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paulson decided to use the money in a dramatic way. Secretary of the Treasury Paulson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The apostle of the free market and believer in moral hazard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would now initiate the largest government intervention in Wall Street since the Great Depression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seven other heads of the nation's largest banks received a similar summons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paulson was about to hand out billions of dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was unprecedented. In return for billions of dollars, the government would take an ownership stake in the banks. But even with the financial system in free fall,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paulson gave each man a single piece of paper spelling out the conditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Treasury Secretary Paulson had just given $125 billion to the nation's richest banks. And it was only the beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're watching on CNBC, etc. I mean, they're talking about where you work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one knew what would be the ramifications.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which other institutions were exposed? Which other institutions would suffer runs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bullet had been dodged with bare, but I think the more analytical people in Wall Street recognize that there were still a lot of bullets coming. The prognosis for the near future was that there were still huge problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, first we gotta let you guys know that our two winners of the ticket giveaways to the USFL Championship game on Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're unable to actually attend the game Saturday, so we're gonna give out four four packs of tickets this week, and please only reply if you can actually go to the game on Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mistakes happen, we get it, but please only enter if you can actually go on Saturday. So we're gonna give out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to have Ticketmaster and you have to be able to go. Please do not write Buckeyes in the chat if you cannot attend the game on Saturday. As soon as we see Anthony, as soon as Anthony starts seeing Buckeyes he will flag it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let us know, and if you do see it, email us. We will tell you how to pick up your tickets and how to get those tickets. So Anthony's on the lookout. I see some Buckeyes coming in, but bull with that. Let's talk about Terry Francona.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just can't talk about the guardians, especially with how they won the game last night without giving my personal best friend, my choice for 2024 president, Will Brennan, some love and credit. State tag board. Can we stop putting celebrities as presidents, please? This is the most picturesque


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 25 saves and he is absolutely, unquestionably, without any doubt of certainty, that made no sense, but he is the guaranteed lock to make the all-star team. Right, right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about Edwin Diaz in 2018 had 57- For the Mariners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's that? You're the smartest baseball guy I know. That's not exaggeration. If you get this trivia question, you get to pick the next word for our ticket giveaway. Who holds the record for single saves in a season as a lefty?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would not have known this if I did not have the list of active single season save, uh, save record in front of me. You said it's not Mitch Williams? It is not Mitch Williams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I see some coming in now. Anthony will DM the person with how to pick up those tickets. Please, if you are going to enter your name, be able to go on Saturday. And we have given out a... Anthony, how is the YouTube chat doing on spelling this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, we're gonna talk a little calves first, then we're gonna play the game. Oh, okay. So real quick, and Anthony, you gotta stop this. Give me the Samamiko tweet first. We have two tweets that have come out that we're gonna reference back to what happened yesterday. But this morning, Samamiko tweeted, and you can take it full steam, that the calves


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chris Federer tweeted out, Cavs have not had any discussions about trading All-Star point guard Darius Garland and don't intend to move him. Sources tell Cleveland.com. This comes real quick.

[Assistant] So he signed a very team friendly rookie, well, it's the rookie max extension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looks more and more team friendly. So for example, a regular max extensions with Bradley Beal signed last year. Bradley Beal is making


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the next couple years, 48, 52, 56, 57.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's, here's one thing that I was telling Earl this morning. The point guard position in the NBA...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a hard time making, like, the guys between like 8 and 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can tell me anyone's in any spot, and I'd be like, okay, you can make an argument. So you're saying he's between 8 and 12?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want me to just go through the list of names? Tell me a thing. Yeaah. Right now, real quick. Yeaah. This is how ESPN sorts positions. So, do you consider Luka a point guard? Yes. So, Luka or Garland? Luka. SGA or Garland?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just saying, uh, Tyrese Halliburton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like, I think Trey Young is a horrendous teammate as far as playing with him. Like I would not, I would take Darius Scarlet, I wouldn't think twice. Uh, Jaylen Brunson. I'd take that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I just named 15, we had 7 that he was definitely better in and 6 that were...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the mix. So like I said, he's in that, he's not in that top, top tier of point guards. He's in that second tier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you're trading for a guy who's not in that top 5, and this is not a knockout guard, the point guard position is as good as it's ever been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Darius Garland, uh, turned 23 this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But my point is with Garland, he's more valuable to the Cavs than what I think you'd get back in a trade for him. I would not trade him, unless Luka, unless Yannis or Jokic is on the table. Which they're not going to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that goes into real quick, to go back to the Windy tweet, Windy alluded to some outlandish move the Cavs can make. The question I wanted to ask you guys today before this whole, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could probably get him on the Chief. They also just drafted Brandon Miller with the second overall pick. Guess what? Plays the exact same position as Miles Bridges. Now you can never have too many wings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cavs don't have any. Some teams have way too many. You cannot have too many wings. But he is now expendable. I don't think you get him for Alan though, G. They just drafted Mark Williams in the lottery last year, who was essentially Jared Allen, just 20 years old and a lot cheaper. So I'm not sure why they would take on Alan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I do think there are some other fringe pieces, give them some expiring contracts in a deal to get Bridges back, who would be, theoretically speaking, the perfect schematic fit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the new, if the new hornet's ownership says, hey, we just don't want to be associated with the brand new, which is very, very plausible. It would not be shocking if they're like, hey, we're new, we don't want to deal with you. You had your incidents. I know you served your punishment, but we want to move forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is outlandish, I love that. Hey, real quick, back to Miles Bridges, uh, we got a super chat telling us, and I was just informed. Oh yeaah. He's a restricted free agent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think the most realistic scenario for the Caps to get him then would be a sign-in trick. I don't think they'd be able to offer him a mid-level exception as an offer sheet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just have Charlotte be like, Hey, we're not going to match that because the assets you get back for that are more valuable, but he is a restricted free agent. Appreciate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, who sent us that super chat? I just saw it a second ago. But I appreciate whoever in the chat said that. Uh, Donnie Brody for letting us know. Bridge is a restricted free agent, which means the horse can match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Zion's on the court, he is a, you mentioned unicorns, he's a legit unicorn. He's unstoppable when he plays. The issue, he never plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That actually worked out, you know what, sometimes I put segments in that I'm like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm curious how, how much these guys get into it. That was interesting. You guys were good. All right. We're going to play a new game here, guys. Anthony, go take your position. Anthony's coming out with something special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have six questions. Each person has two. One Brown's question, one non-Brown's question. G's up first. We're doing a little role playing. This is called the True Serum Game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] G for the first question is gonna become Kevin Stefanski and G was just poured a nice glass of True Serum. G, you wanna drink that True Serum for me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you guys feel about Kevin Stefanski on True Serum? Speaking about Deshaun Watson for the... I would love to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an open Q&A, you could ask. True standards that wear off in another three minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my question for you, G. Who is he now? Kobe Oldman. President of basketball operations for the Cleveland Cavaliers. If we could go back in time about a year from now, and you have the chance to redo or undo the Donovan Mitchell trade, would you still do it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt bad because Tito went to the hospital last night. I felt bad for not answering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the famous Firestone Country Club, check out all your-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we'll win a family four pack and take it to the USL championship game. If not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That players make the biggest jump in their careers from the end of their rookie seasons to the beginning of their second season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, and this last one's brought to us by PCC Airfoils because these facts have come from the inner web.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] PCC Airfoils is a leading manufacturer in Northeast Ohio. All locations of PCC Airfoils in Eastlake, Mentor, Wickliffe, and Minerva are hiring for all positions starting at $18 and up. Plus, full benefit packages, paid time off, and a signing bonus. You can apply online at precast.com slash careers to learn more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead, Mike. So we have Mike Pereira coming on in about five minutes. So the next person, the fifth person to put the word Mike in the YouTube chat is going to win our final family four packet tickets to the USFL Championship. Technically not a word but a name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To put the name Mike, it is Mike Carrera's name. And while we do that, let's get a chance to learn- Oh, Anthony, say something real quick. Yeah, real quick. Pear Bear Cleveland and Darian Rucker, please email us. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So while we wait for the fifth person to put the word Mike in the chat, let's take a listen and get to know Cleveland Brown's defensive back rookie, Cam Mitchell a little better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You also heard Cam say he would have been a baseball player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a super good dude though. Earl was with us out there. Cam was beyond friendly. He probably signed 500 autographs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We may have lost. No, he's back. He's back. A little lasting connection. There he is. He's back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes that's the internet for you folks. As soon as we get Mike back, I will bring him back in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, let's do it. And our first topic today is a question we got in overtime, I think two Fridays ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we did it really quickly, but we said at the time, hey, this would actually make a really good show topic. So let's get into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which facet of the Browns, offense, defense, or special teams, do you guys think will make the single biggest improvement from 2022 to 2023? Not which unit will be best this year, but which will make the biggest improvement from where they were last season to this season?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Jets game. They scored 30. That was defense. The Jets game was this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Chargers game, they lost 30-28. They couldn't get, the offense had the ball back late there because the Chargers went 4-4.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Real quick, we got some, we asked the YouTube community post what they thought. I'll give you the results of that in one sec.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The defensive tackle situation and their ability to stop the run last year was literally on a scale of 1 to 10, a .2. So even if that gets to a 2, which would not be good enough for the amount of talent they brought in, that's still like a 200% increase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you guys see the shot that Taven, the ricochet shot Taven Bryan took in that post time? That was hilarious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guy, uh, a five-star defensive line recruit committed to Georgia over Florida and he did an interview and they asked why and he was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead, Mike. So that's the point for the defense. For the offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deshaun Watson taking a massive step forward from what we saw last year and the improvement in the receiver room. Say what you want. I know Elijah Moore is unproven, Cedric Tillman unproven, Mark Eastgood, but we don't know what he's going to get. But at least the talent in that room with Deshaun Watson being more comfortable with Kevin Stefanski.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Room for improvement, they're also massive. And on the special team side, Steve, just take this full. Their special teams unit last year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a, before he got hurt, his sophomore year, Tillman was an all SEC receiver, and I know it's college, I know these guys are supposed to be the best in their league, but anytime you make all SEC,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the upgrade from Priefer to Bubba Ventrone, and then adding those three guys, plus the second year development of Cade York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this unit has a chance to be really really good. And the fact that we're having this conversation and you can make a case for all three, I think means it's a pretty damn successful offseason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, Jason's do- saying it- I don't know if he's saying it right, but what he's saying is true and I've-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to kick into your coverage to get a good stop. Without kicking your coverage or kicking it too high or too short, it throws off the timing for where your gunners are coming down and leads to the big returns. A lot of times the big returns isn't because the returner is better, it's just a bedfuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, real quick, I just want to tell you the results of this poll. Whenever we do that, it's brought to us by PCC Air Force. We asked our YouTube community chat which


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're looking for a job with career advancement and great benefits, well, PCC Airfoils is a leading manufacturer in Northeast Ohio. They're hiring for all positions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] End jobs in Eastlake, Mentor, Wycliffe, and Minerva starting at $18 and up. Plus full benefit packages, paid time off, and a signing bonus. You can apply online at precast.com slash careers to learn more. Over 600 votes on this poll. Shout out to the community tab for showing up in throws and voting on this. 76%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the defense will make the most improvement. 19 said the offense, five said the special teams. But I want to read three comments real quick because we only got three and they all said none of the above asked this question in September. Well guys, just trying to have some fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so you guys are probably wondering why Anthony's out there. Well, Anthony is going to be the representative for the production team in the best current player draft. And we did before the show started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So just so you guys know, before you pick, we put together our big boarder. Top 20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was the only two that we had no argument over the order for. Yeah, that was an easy top two. And now it comes down to you at three bowl with all the pressure because this is where it starts getting interesting. Yeah, I have no idea. One second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Messy would have been our first pick if you were not taking Messy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with the second pick, Anthony, I think we're going seven. Seven? Earl, do you agree seven? We're going seven. Alright, we're going to take Connor McDavid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is unquestionably hands down, bar none, the best hockey player in the world right now. We have the best basketball player in the world and the best hockey player in the world. Good luck beating Team Production.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a good choice, Yannis. Yeaah. I see, Jason, before we get to the next pick, do you think Yannis is the second best basketball player in the world right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Jason is back to back picks here, he took Otani with his first pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pressure cooking. We got two great picks in the queue here, guys. If you take either, I'll be livid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that, I think my trout would count if you go with my trout. You taking trout?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time he touches the ball with his back, it explodes. It's unbelievable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anthony, you're going to be the side. I vote for number four on our list. Earl wants the guy he put in the chat. Who do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm pulling this up on ESPN.com. Mike Trapp in 81 games. He has two stolen bases. There you go. There you go. There you go. There it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the heavyweight title? Yes. Never. How many times have you got stripped in this title, period?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he's never lost a fight, he only got stripped because he took drugs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] John Jones was a great, okay, so real quick, Arnold mentions Earl. Will you publish the chat? Let's get the chat. We'll give five minutes for the chat. Vote on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the four teams in totality, Jason's team, he took Shohei Otani, Canelo Alvarez, Mike Trout, and John Jones. Sorry. Team G Bush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mahomes, Cristiano Ronaldo, Joey Chestnut, and Stipe Biaschic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So some honorable mentions that we didn't take.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not a boxing guy, so I will plead the ignorance here. Do you guys know Tank Davis?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the guys we had on our list as potential, potential guys to take if we were going to go, uh, in different routes. Let me pull up the list here. But some of the other guys we had were, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] John Rom and Sheffler for golf. Want to go with golf? Uh, Justin Jefferson. Justin Jefferson?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't think Justin Jefferson's totally out of the realm of- I mean, he's- If you're going off, like, the best of the best, uh, Luca, we had as like the lowest tier NBA guy we would consider taking-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Kelsey? Travis? Yeah, I thought about Kelsey instead of Burrow. Uhm, we were gonna go Nick Chubb. Just for the fan vote. That would have won the fan vote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and that's, that's about it. Real quick as we let the poll results come in. This idea for a draft came up. Someone asked me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you rather have Otani on your baseball team or Mahomes on your football team?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said my home's on your football team because I think a great elite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Undisputed number one quarterback essentially guarantees you a spot in the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think Otani's the number one pick here. If I had, if we had 1-1, we were taking Otani pretty close. Oh, for sure. Yeaah. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that question, who would you rather have in your favorite team's sport atmosphere? I think Mahomes is the answer. Would you guys disagree?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over second place, this was 33 to 32%. The winner!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people's champ. That's about it. Jason Lloyd is your winner. He edges out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'll read a couple. This is hysterical. Anthony, you wanna read one real quick?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nicholas, Nicholas, ArchLadis says, here's my team, Tyson Fury, Brooks Kepka, Novak Djokovic, spelt very wrong, and Nick Chubb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we're gonna show you that. I'm gonna tell you guys about the Collie Companies Championship coming up here in a sec. And then we're gonna get into some baseball as we go through. But if you guys are looking for something to do next week, the Collie Companies Championship is coming to the famous Firestone Country Club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Akron, Ohio, all your favorite senior tour golfers, the oldies, but they can still play. They're going to be there next week checking it out. We're going to pull up this tag board in a sec here, which will show off Jason. You can find all the information you need on the upcoming tournament at callitgolf.com. And with that, Steve, take tag board full please for the new people champion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Travis Kelsey, for the sake of this, would we have won? Did Simone Biles cost us the title? That's what I wanna know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you wanna know, the belt is yours. Uh, and speaking of belts, the belt does not belong to the Guardians. The Braves put an ass-whippin' on them yesterday. Uh, with the UCSS squad in attendance, I think I'm officially bad luck. They are 0-4 in games I've been to this year, and they have scored a combined three runs in the four games I've been to. So I'm gonna stop going to games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had 67 going into yesterday's game, they hit 2 yesterday? How many home runs they hit yesterday?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Riley hit one, and Murphy hit two. Yea, they hit two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 18 for 34. Okay. 11 runs, 3 doubles, a triple, 3 home runs, 12 RBIs, a stolen base, he's betting 529 with a 941 slacking. I get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's talk about Kansas City real quick though. They have a four game set coming up with the Royals, just quickly before we move on to the Kansas City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're close, let me pull up the standings real quick. As of today...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Oakland Athletics are 25 and 63.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're, they're five and five in their last ten straight up, just straight up wins. And they are like, I believe 17 and four covering the spread the last 21. I have literally one game over 500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's that? We're at the game and Sean Murphy just absolutely demolished a fastball into the left field. And I looked at Anthony and Earl and Steve and was just like, he's one of the best in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a three-team deal, which I forgot, cause William, uh, William Contreras went from the Braves to the Brewers in the same deal. Right. The A's got, uh, Estuie Ruiz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, another garbage thing we gotta talk about. Tristan McKenzie is opting to go the rehab route instead of getting Tommy John surgery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was reporting, TakeTagWordful here. Zach Meisel put it out the other day. He's gonna be shut down for a few more weeks, then begin a throwing program. The hope is he can return at some point this season. Two parts. One, do you think we'll see McKenzie again this year? And two, what's your feeling on a player taking the rehab route opposed to going to surgery?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright Mike. Alright, moving on to the next topic here. Is it a star player's responsibility?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To recruit or try to recruit other stars to his or her team. Or does that fall solely on the front office management personnel coaches?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well this is something that you asked us to throw in here, Bull. And I am very curious to see how the rest of the panel and the guys behind the glass...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, respond. Before that though, I want to remind you guys that the Call of Companies Championship is coming up next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Akron at the famous Firestone Country Club. All your favorite senior tour golfers will be there. We'll be down there on Tuesday and Wednesday as well, so be there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come say what's up, you can find all the information you want on the Call of Companies Championship at callofgolf.com and tomorrow at about 5pm we'll be doing our second edition of the Behind the Glass livestream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Previewing the Cavs Summer League, what we can expect from Imani Bates and others as the Cavs open up Summer League play at 8.30 on Friday night. That stream will be myself, Earl, and Anthony starting right around 5 o'clock. So make sure you tune in for that. And speaking of Hoops Bowl,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You sent us two scenarios. We're going to start with basketball and move to football. And Steve, you can take tag board full here. These went viral over the last few days and we'll start with this one. Would you rather be given a million dollars up front or a chance for 20 million


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you had to score more than 15 points in an NBA game to collect said 20 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, there has. And he made his debut in 2017, actually. Who? I'm gonna pronounce the name wrong. I apologize. It's Gift. Engopi?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's put the question back up. Let's get back here, Steve. Take time, we're full. We have an NFL version of this next, but we'll start with the basketball. One million just for showing up. Up to 20 million, or not up to, 20 million in full if you can score 15 points in an NBA game. What you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and that's the difference. There's no context in the question. If they said, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mcnuggets, you get 60 shots, can you make 5 threes out of 60 in an NBA game? Yea, I think if I chucked it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if we're playing a real game and dudes are driving and they're collapsing and someone's not just hugged to me. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That could score five points in 48 minutes in a regular NBA game. That could score three points. Right. It's absurdly low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if this is more or less realistic. G, I actually need your opinion on if this is more realistic or less, but same premise, this is the NFL version. Get 1 million just for showing up. Or get 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you can gain 5 yards on 10 carries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's funny is, so this, these both went mega viral on Twitter. And there was a lot of NFL defensive linemen coming out being like, there's not a chance in hell you're getting five yards. And I understand, I understand that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're protecting their own sport. Like I get it. And obviously 5 yards and 10 carries is not impressive. You would never be able to succeed in the NFL with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, gee, do you think, real quick, like me, you've seen me in the gym? Yes! Do you think I can get five yards without the carries? Yes!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rent out the Rocky River Rec Center, let's do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the New York Fed did was take all the bad stuff off the books of Bear Stearns and allowed JP Morgan to purchase the good part of it. It's kind of like if Uncle Sam had come in and taken all the vinegar and allowed JP Morgan to have the wine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obama very early realized that things were only going to get worse. And so Obama made this decision. The thing I'm going to run on is that there is a problem in our economy. My opponent doesn't see it and I can fix it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like you poured a bowl into a suit. He just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He just can't stop being dick-fold. Uhm, and the whole firm came to be stamped with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it turns out that we're having the largest crisis Wall Street has seen since the Great Depression. And he's at the center of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at this point, the question becomes, what does Hank Paulson do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of this issue of moral hazard, that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything freezes, and that's what causes the crisis. And it really started because Lehman Brothers went into bankruptcy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Lehman goes bankrupt, all of a sudden AIG says, we're sitting on this huge deficit. We just promised to pay all these people millions and millions of dollars if Lehman went bankrupt, assuming that Lehman could never possibly go bankrupt, and now Lehman has gone bankrupt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's this very delicate moment at that precise time when Geithner and others have the power to say, okay, we're going to save AIG.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the cost to you, Goldman Sachs, or Citi, or anyone else?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that you have to take a haircut. You have to take a discount on your insurance policy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know that you're gonna go, you're gonna claim your insurance. But instead of claiming 100% of it, I want you to agree right now you're only gonna claim 50% of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bernanke basically calls up Paulson and says, there's no end game in sight that looks good. Things only look like they're gonna get worse. We have to do something more direct, more direct involvement of government in the banking sector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says, I've got here documents that say the US government is going to make an injection of capital into each one of your companies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a prototype, so it's a little quirky, but it packs quite a punch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, it's great to be with you. It's great to be on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show for the first time. I love your guys' work. I love what you're doing in Cleveland. It's unlike any content that the city sports scene has, so it's a thrill to be with all of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, uh, you know, I love the mama mentality and I love Kobe Bryant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for me, all I hear is a P.A. announcer saying, Z, for Zydrunas Algoskis. That's my childhood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, I try to, I always try growing up to mimic the ogalskis. It looked like it was in slow motion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Zydrunas Zogoskis, Jason Lloyd, correct me if I'm wrong, he hit three threes in Sacramento in a game LeBron era.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and, and, and Fred McCloud and Austin Carr are on the call. And Ogoskis just goes off in the second half and ends up canning three triples. The game was well out of reach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I love Big Z. Uh, he used to go to Mitchell's Tavern. I grew up in West, like, that guy would house, like, a dozen and a half wings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's funny because I could relate to Jason before when you guys were talking about this situation of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that the Cavaliers can fix their problems and be a team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That has a chance to contend for a championship with their current roster construction, which obviously the fans agree with today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also don't think that they should get ripped apart or torn down by any means or overly criticized for the way that Kobe Altman and Mike Gansi and his team, their, their team have constructed their roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With nine players under the age of 25 is that you, you've got a team that's learning on the fly, that's developing on the fly and that's relying on growth. Now, the question I have heading into this season, the two questions I have are number one, after you got embarrassed by the New York Knicks, you got embarrassed by the New York Knicks. If the regular season is diminished,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Become a legitimate threat to win the Eastern Conference. If you're not thinking that way, I don't know why you're doing it then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you were just in a 4 or 5 series. You were the 4th seed. You got beaten 5 games. That, that was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bigger alarm to me than I think the Cavaliers front office made it to be when the season ended. They gave front office speak. That's what they did. I don't mind them for that. I'm not gonna blame them for that. We hear that every day in Berea. It's gonna happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, over with the Cleveland Browns. It's gonna happen. You hear it with the Guardians, you hear it with any professional organization. But, if they don't go out,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And make a move of significance or moves of significance. I'm sorry. When has running it back worked really well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the NBA. In the NBA where there's a totally different season within the year. That is the off season where you've gotta improve your roster. How do they do that? They've got a conundrum there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I think there's a window open for the Cavs to keep building towards a title. Like, isn't that the way that they should be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thinking, if you're the fourth seed in the east, shouldn't you be thinking about how can we get up into the top three? How can we make the next move? That next move doesn't happen with the guys you currently have. I do think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That it comes down to more than just natural development. I think it's gonna come down to reeling in a piece or two and potentially doing something that might ruffle some feathers in the moment, but I wouldn't blame them if they tried to do something different because I gotta tell you guys in the NBA,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is not a four to six year type of thing, a three to five year, let's wait and see. That's not this league. Teams get better overnight. Teams go for that championship. So now I'm wondering if the Cavaliers, what they're thinking behind closed doors of, okay, how do we build on this with the core that we've got and how do we go for it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think so, because I don't think that you're the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference without getting him. Uh, and I do think that this season,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you can't argue with that. He sets a franchise single game record for points scored. To be able to do what he does consistently is fantastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but the consistency hasn't translated to the most important time of year. Now, in fairness, in fairness,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe in year one, playing with Darius Garland and playing with this new group of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Players, maybe year two means that there's a better opportunity to figure those things out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, if you want to criticize him for his lack of postseason success, I'm not going to say that's unfair. I don't think anybody would say that's unfair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when they had the opportunity to get Donovan Mitchell, there was a group of, of followers and people, uh, that are fans, uhm, that said, well, I really like Colin Sexton. Uh, I, I think we can build around him. You know, or, or build with him, rather.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, but you're not going to keep a guy like that if you have the opportunity to get Donovan Mitchell. Donovan Mitchells don't grow on trees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they, they, they're, they don't just grow on treats. You can't just, in Cleveland, you can't just have your chance to get a player that good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every off-season. It's not there. Unless you're doing something...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just be, beyond bold or, or something crazy with your team or, or, or there's a, there's a horrible breakup or something like that. Like there are certain circumstances that had to fit in for the Cavs to even have the opportunity to get Donovan Mitchell. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, this is more than just a Donovan Mitchell problem. They don't have a bench. They do not possess a bench.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if you look at these other playoff teams, look at how the Miami Heat made a run. Albeit improbable. I get it. I know it was surprising. They had a bench. They had depth. They had Gabe Vincent. They had Caleb Marden. They had Max Struce. Come up and hit shots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cavaliers don't have that. Like, let's not lie to ourselves here. If you think Chetty Osmond's gonna be on a team that makes a deep, deep Eastern Conference Playoffs run, you're sorely mistaken. And it's not to put him down, it's just, let's, we gotta look at the reality of the picture here. The Cavs are not deep. They have a depth problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in a playoff series, that matters. The Knicks had more depth, they had more toughness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's why they totally wore the Cavaliers down. So I do think that there's things that need fixing. Again, I would just say the Cavs got humiliated by the New York Knicks. I don't think that that front office feels any good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They might tell us that they do, but they gotta be pissed off with the way this season ended because it washed away the opportunity to fully validate a 51 win regular season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a great question, Earl, and I guess you sit here and say, alright, well, if we did


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get a top four seed in the Eastern Conference and we did win 51 games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've gotta be strategic in what you do. I, I, I, I understand what, I thought Jason, before I came on, made the point of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just talking about the potential of Jared Allen and Evan Mobley and how that dynamic works and the scenarios that could come up with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With potentially making a deal or doing something with Alan. I mean, those are all obviously things that could pop up in our hypotheticals, but like, I, I just, here's my thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, here's my course of logic with this Earl and you guys tell me if I'm wrong. You don't have depth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there's not a whole lot to fear coming in off the bench. You've got a core four, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have to potentially break off one of those core four to make the team better?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that that's what's gonna end up having to happen. And I also think that Jared Allen and Evan Mobley works for the period of time he brought up the regular season. I don't think it works in the playoffs. And I think the fact that it doesn't work in the playoffs means the writing's on the wall. I love Evan Mobley. I don't think he's touchable at all. I think he's got a terrific offside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think his combination of athleticism and explosiveness is really special and the motor speaks for itself. I really like this kid. I think he's only going to continue to get better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I do think that, I think there's such a thing as, and this is kinda how I view the Cavs as a whole. They've got some pieces that have helped them get to a really nice point. Alright? That's a good thing. It's a positive thing. It's not a loss, it's an organizational win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Might not be the ones to elevate your franchise to the next runs of the ladder. That sometimes is hard to swallow because those guys did help you get to a certain point. But like any great company that's trying to evolve, you might have to rip some band-aids off and take an educated risk


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I don't think it's gonna come this offseason. I-I-I don't think that the chances are high of that. But you might end up having to do that at some point, because if you don't do that at some point, your window could close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I think it's a, this is a great debate. I mean, I, I, I think, and Jason, you've been around the league long enough to know that these, these processes have different results. I mean, the Nuggets case is a refreshing one. They did stay patient. Jamal Murray was crying at one point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He kept faith! He kept faith that he would be a great player!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's correct. I mean, the more I think about it, the more I look at it, you know, it's outlandish, there's no question about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and it wasn't a t- honestly, it was a take at 8 17 a.m. that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10 months from now, the same stuff happens. The same result occurs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless you swing one of the big assets and do something...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out of the, way out of the box, which, I mean, all science points to them not doing that. I'm not saying, you know, that they should do that. I think yesterday my point was, if, because we were talking about it, and we're talking about it now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you change this team? Like, Mike started the discussion by saying, does it come from within? Or does it have to come externally? Honestly, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, if I'm the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, the next season I want to contend for a title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I, I don't know if this, I don't consider this team a title contender as they're currently constructed next year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was not a particularly great draft class, uh, and, and, and in any draft class, when you have the 49th pick, if your pick is past 45,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't want to get drafted. We've got a team lined up post-draft that we got an invite from. We'd much rather be in that setting. That's a very real thing late in the draft. At 49, the Cavaliers are in a position where, what do you have to do? Well, if you're gonna do anything in that spot that could produce value,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love my caseritos. I've had too many to count. Having said this, uh, you know, you can't, we can't get into the world of, uh, of, of, you know, comparing and contrasting and all that. Here's the thing with Imani Baines. He's six foot ten. His length and playmaking are things that stand out. They're, they've got potential. When you can combine that frame,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of being lazy at times. Uh, being focused on himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, not looking for the right basketball play, but looking for the play that helps Imani. Now here's the thing. He's not coming into this organization and contributing this upcoming year. Anything that he did this upcoming year would be surprising to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and I think it would be, it would be surprising to people in NBA circles, that's for sure. Uh, NBA circles...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do the Cavaliers have that not every NBA organization has? They've got great people running their ship. They've got stability. They've got


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And locally, I mean, their G League team plays what? Right next door. They've got the connection to potentially.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Groom a project like this and make him a better basketball player who makes smarter basketball decisions, who becomes more mature. He's got the potential.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that's there. I don't think it's at the, it's nowhere close to the degree as where it was when this kid was 15 years old. That was unfair. The Sports Illustrated article that he could be the next Durant, we should never call a 15 year old that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to get pretty cheap, but it's not fair to a 15 year old in today's climate. Because if they ever have failure, look at today's era of social media. Kid has gotten torn apart the last 2, 3, 4 years of his life. Kid has gotten criticized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's brought something upon himself. You know, charges were dropped, but he had things that were away from the basketball floor that ended up causing him some trouble and caused some drama behind the scenes. But, you know, he could not find his footing at Memphis. He ends up at Eastern Michigan. And frankly, Eastern Michigan was a better team when Imani Bates was off the floor than when he was on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I get the idea of Imani Bates. I don't blame the Cavaliers at all for picking him at number 49. But let's be real here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a better chance that this doesn't pan out than it does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that happens a lot of times when you're making a late draft pick. The pick made sense. We'll see if Imani Bates' development does too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. You know, it's interesting because we're talking about a first place baseball team that is under 500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just get a ticket to the postseason and you never know what can happen. Guys, that's not baseball this year. I mean, it just isn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, I was reading a tweet last night from a guy who covers the sport nationally. He's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The great thing about this season is there's like four fan bases that are happy with their team. Like, right now there isn't, there's not parity this year in the sport. You look at the start, the start that Tampa Bay got off to, if you look at the, the whole American League East division versus the Central, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The American League has seven teams that are under 500, five of them, all five from the AL Central make up five of the seven teams in the American League that are under 500. You gotta be, you gotta look at the writing on the wall. They can't pay Shane Bieber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could they still win the American League Central without Shane Bieber? Yes! They could! They could do that!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can trade Shane Bieber. I think they should trade Shane Bieber because I just, I think you gotta be real for the now and you could get some ready now talent potentially. You can also build up your farm even more. You can look towards the future and I still think you're gonna have a competitive enough team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be able to make a run. The biggest factors for this team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To keep up their recent play, they're 7 and 3 in their last 10. They're 14 and 8 since June the 3rd. Art, they've gotta have offensive versatility. Andres Jimenez has gotta keep hitting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can they get Josh Bell going a little bit more? Cause it's been, it's, it's, it's not been great thus far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's in the best interest of the organization to do so. I hate it. I know it's part of the climate. I know it's things that we don't like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think again, uh, that it's, it's sometimes what you have to do for your organization's best interest. They could still win this division. I think they will win this division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think it's the best move, uh, for the Guardians and their present and future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was on the lock right, doing a spot of midnight fishing. Aye, great. Time to batten down the hatches. Aye, be right with you. So I was on the lock right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you there? Alex said that you're on your way down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can drop the charade, Captain Stern. We both know I was sent here as a hostage. To keep my father from speaking out against the Empire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Master Koda is dead, killed above Nar Shaddaa. My father


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I cannot leave while this planet is still enslaved. If you are truly a Jedi, then you will destroy that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once that skyhook is complete, the Empire will start shuttling Wookiee slaves into space. Entire villages will be taken off world in a matter of days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually, maybe. But you will give the Wookiees a chance to disappear. You can take that lift down to the forest floor. It will be crawling with Imperials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compton, California has long had a reputation as one of the most dangerous places in America to be a young black person. In fact, Compton's homicide rate is more than four and a half times the national average. But here, there's a group who believes that they have the secret to keeping kids off the streets. Meet the Compton Cowboys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Literally. Black people in Compton. On horses. In traffic. Wearing sandals with socks. Because that's perfectly normal. The Compton Cowboys began in the 1980s as the Compton Junior Posse, an after-school horseback riding program at a farm in the middle of the city. The founder, Maisha Akbar, described it this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, so basically your gang, instead of bandanas and gang signs, y'all just leave horse shit everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I have some of the weed you smoking? Yeaah. I love to share man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cowboy Lil Wayne is right. Even if you're riding with a buzz, it's not like your horse is gonna have a broken tail light, and the cops damn sure ain't searching that trunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But horses don't just protect people on the outside. Turns out, they can heal you on the inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kiera, the first cowgirl among the Compton Cowboys, was one of those people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's clear that taking care of horses can have a life changing effect. I needed to fire my therapist and stock up on oats. But what's the first step to creating this beautiful bond between man and horse?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, this cowboy shit makes for a nice little hobby. But one Compton cowboy thinks you could also make it a career. As a bareback rider.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, bareback riding is 30 times more dangerous than pro football. But no one gets a helmet, not even the horse. And Trey is one of the top 50 riders worldwide, so I had to see him in action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somehow we just missed, uh, you know, that home prices don't go up forever. What is a synthetic CDO?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're all traumatized, you know, from, you know, seeing the shit that we see, you know, people getting shot around you, people dying, and I can't even tell you how many conversations I've had with people who say, man, my horse saved


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If no suitable Spanish vessel is available, could we not use a French ship? Are you trying to start a war? The treaty between our nations is fragile. We cannot afford any suspicion of smuggling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Citizen cage. Ninja mime. None of those ring a bell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa, whoa, wait a second. I'm not gonna kill anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's not a costume? Your actual military?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you know about this threat to the world stuff, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not everyone gets to rumble with a celebrity. Ready for your beatdown, sunshine? Here it comes!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I eliminated him from the tournament. He didn't need to die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well Atlanta was one of the hottest markets in the country, the Atlanta region. Roy Barnes is the former governor of Georgia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Georgia was the fourth fastest growing state, uh, at the turn of this last century and the fastest growing state east of the Mississippi. So it was a hot market to start with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what really changed the appetite for subprime mortgage was you could securitize it and you could sell it on Wall Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do it in tranches and then they wrap it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they could be packaged together and have an overall higher yield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you could just about drive by a bank and they'd throw a loan paper in your car as you passed by. It became very loose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are tricked into owing more money than they could ever dream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would have thought I had recommended that we repeal the plan of salvation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That house has a loan that is somewhere lost in a huge financial vehicle put together by some young Turks on Wall Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's lost in that billion dollar package because there's nobody assigned to look after it. And there are whole subdivisions like this, by the way, that are just lost in this great morass. And so it affects Main Street because Wall Street was too greedy. The greed of Wall Street broke Main Street.

[Assistant] New home sales jumped 13% over a year ago, while existing home sales rose 4.5%, setting a new record.

[Assistant] Oftentimes what would happen at these meetings is regulators would be there like Chairman Bernanke and there might be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is toxic waste. We're building a bubble. We're not going to like the outcome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the ones that were in it said I was wrong. And everything is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, we're not in competition for a bar stool. I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, do you feel like you're sort of like in this box where you just like mostly communicate with the outside world through your Snapchat at this point so it's kind of awkward when you go outside that zone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, I recall that. Our whole relationship is played out on YouTube, it's pretty crazy. Yeaah, that's insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you enter into an agreement like that with Linus? He could be your YouTube network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you always know that about yourself that you were comfortable enough with your body to put yourself out there like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when you were young, you were like, you always knew that that was something that you were interested in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and that is why it's always weird when girls are like doing double anal at 18 is because it's kind of like, Jesus, like, a lot of these girls do not know what the fuck they're getting into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was it like when you actually started stripping in comparison to what you thought it might be like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like most, almost every stripper I've ever been, they're like pretty open-minded about you touching their boobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was kidding. It wasn't even Boston Chris. What was it? The fucking, uh, what was it? What town was that? The strip club that we went to with biz. Sagas. No, it was the, the cabaret.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back, it's just like, you know, I, I grew up in like a town that's kind of like between like a big city and like, you know, a small town. I'm from Nashville, New Hampshire, but this was like another like neighboring town. It was like sort of similar to the town I grew up in. But when you actually go there after you're used to like living the high life out here in LA and stuff, and you see how beat the girls at the strip club are and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also, if they, if they were like looking at you funny or like doing anything weird, I'm gonna be upset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, maybe, but if you start, or even drinking, I don't, I don't, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But let's be real, like how many positions are there really that are getting done on a consistent basis? Cause I'm gonna be honest with you, it's like, how many positions do we do in the course of a month?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The strip club, mind-blowing by how much money you were making. But you still wanted more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was out of your control? There was, the cops made you break up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was it like when you first got into it? Like your first time doing a scene? Was it crazy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If a girl reminded me of my mom that much, I'd probably be like, well, maybe we should just not be together. Also, I love my mom and that would not be such a bad thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't think of my mom in any sort of like, way like that. So it's like, I don't think I would ever...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you like right away just sort of realize that you had more of an appeal that you were like gonna just be able to sort of do bigger things?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You feel like you were being treated like a hot girl pretty much as early as you started to look like a woman?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What were you planning on doing though? You just wanted to be like a TV star or a movie star or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So did that kinda like scare you straight a little bit and make you not wanna like suck dick in any like fast food chains for a while?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. So then, yeah, alright, so how did you proceed ahead in the porn world once you got going? Did you start doing a ton of scenes or what was it like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First time I actually looked at it. I'm not much of an actual porn watcher, I'm more of a porn podcaster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've had bad experiences with the people that you did meet? Like a lot of people that you just don't fuck with and stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do you think that was? Just because you came in the game and were just so poppin' right away and they were like out here just slavin' away, puttin' in all this work and nobody really gives a shit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Whenever a new hot girl shows up in the porn world, you can usually count on a lot of the old dogs not being too happy about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you know what it is? It's just that there's a lot of girls on board who want it to be a contest of who's done the most work, like who's just put in the most work, but in reality it's like based a lot on like who's hottest, who people just like the most and shit like that. And it's like, it's just always funny when you hear about it because you'll hear about girls in the porn world who are just like getting super like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offended by like a new girl showing up. I've heard about girls telling like, you know, telling agents not to hire so and so because she has my look, she's got my style.

[Assistant] Literally Lil Xan smoked, or Selena, or who was it? Somebody smoked a blunt. That girl, that random girl that was with Selena smoked a blunt. And like, you could barely smell it in my opinion. Sometimes we'll be in here and we'll be smoking like 40 blunts in the course of a day. Probably more.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your butt. That's what the fans are going crazy about? Yeaah. Really? Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you like, emphasize that, so you just like, primarily are doing like, butt related content for your fans?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got a string. Uh, anyway, I find it really interesting that you basically like got the private snap pop- poppin' and then you're just like, fuck it, I'm done with porn. It's like basically like the nightmare of the porn industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blew the fuck up. You're like probably number one or close to it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but you've never banged like a male porn star, which is what I consider myself. So it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm totally, but I'm saying like you haven't crossed that line for you. It's like you've already done real porn with all these guys with giant monster eggplant cocks. What am I in comparison to that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has your ass always been like, amendable like that? Like just, you've been good at taking a dig in the butt?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, but yeah, okay, so like what kind of life does this guy have and is it weird? Because like, I'm assuming that unless he's like a huge drug dealer that you make way more money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just, for me it's like, cause you know what it is is that when you're doing everything yourself, you feel like you have so much control that you feel, but like you're blind to some of the mistakes that you're making, whereas you're like hyper aware of other people's mistakes, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't? Why is that? Most porn girls, when I think about why girls get into porn, it's usually for attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you into besides work? Do you watch stuff on Netflix? Do you play any sports?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, I'm just kidding. But I did, I did add Zucks in a bunny suit recently and I just wanted to call attention to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of my friends was asking me, like, did you like it? And I'm like, well, I didn't dislike it. Maybe I'm a furry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's like people who get off on the idea of wearing like these big furry like animal costumes and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My problem when we were having the bunny orgy, as I'm now going to call it, was just that I was getting too into it. I had to keep stopping because I was with a nut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just kidding, most of your family seems nice, but you also claim to have like a pedophile in your family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No yea, I would love to hire somebody. 8 hours a day. You kick it with the baby while I'm sleeping. I don't gotta wake up. Perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, dude doesn't give birth. Dude just inseminates and then goes off on his merry way and makes YouTube videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then that's, that's all you should worry about. Like, you won after that.
