[Assistant] As Bill's second inauguration approached, there were a number of changes in the cabinet and the White House staff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Melanne Verveer became my new chief of staff. She had been by my side on nearly every overseas trip and was a galvanizing force behind the international movement. We were championing to train and equip women for leadership positions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Several cabinet positions had opened up after the election, including Secretary of State.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ever since Warren Christopher announced his impending retirement in early November, Washington had been consumed with the guessing game of who would replace him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hoped Bill would consider appointing Madeline Albright as the Secretary of State.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew my opinion was one among many bills solicited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he asked me about Madeleine, I told him there was nobody who had been more supportive of his policies and was as articulate and persuasive on the issues. I also added that her appointment would make many girls and women proud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Madeleine became the first woman in history to hold the job. And at least for her tenure, the rights and needs of women were integrated into America's foreign policy agenda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's happening good people? Look, I got a pretty good conversation I love to have with you. Let me make sure I get the question right. You can see it behind me. Men, how is your adult relationship with your father?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, that's a good question. I think that we could discuss in the community. But while you're thinking about that, also answer this question. If you have adult children, how's your relationship with them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, something, something that, uh, someone posed to me the other day and I thought it was a really interesting question. The thought was, uh, once


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many of our men tend to lose their relationship with their children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A good, humid Christmas chapter, containing an account of a wedding and some other sports beside, which, although in their way even as good customs as marriage itself,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If not all together as light as fairies, did the four Pickwickians assemble on the morning of the 22nd day of December, and the year of grace in which these, their faithfully recorded adventures were undertaken and accomplished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the season of hospitality, merriment and open heartedness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The old year was preparing like an ancient philosopher to call his friends around him, and amidst the sound of feasting and revelry, to pass gently and calmly away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many families whose members have been dispersed and scattered far and wide in the restless struggles of life?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are then reunited and meet once again in that happy state of companionship and mutual goodwill, which is a source of such pure and unalloyed delight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one so incompatible with the cares and sorrows of the world that the religious belief of the most civilized nations and the rude traditions of the roughest savages alike


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number it among the first joys of a future condition of existence, provided for by the blessed and happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many old recollections and how many dormant sympathies does Christmas time awaken?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We write these words now many miles distant from the spot at which, year after year, we met on that day, a merry and joyous circle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many of the looks that shone so brightly then have ceased to glow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The hands we grasped have grown cold. The eyes we sought have hid their lustre in the grave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most minute and trivial circumstances connected with those happy meetings, crowd upon our mind at each recurrence of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As if the last assemblage had been but yesterday. Happy, happy Christmas. That can win us back to the delusions of our childish days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we are so taken up and occupied with the good qualities of this Saint Christmas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we are keeping Mr. Pickwick and his friends waiting in the cold on the outside of the Muggleton coach, which they have just attained, well wrapped up in great coats, shawls and comforters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The interest displayed in Mr. Pickwick's countenance is most intense as Mr. Weller and the guard try to squeeze the codfish into the boot. First head first, and then tail first, and then top upward, and then bottom upward, and then sideways, and then longways, all of which artifices the implacable codfish sturdily resists,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until the guard accidentally hits him in the very middle of the basket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whereupon he suddenly disappears into the boot, and with him the head and shoulders of the guard himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Upon this, Mr. Pickwick smiles with great good humour, and drawing a shilling from his waistcoat pocket, begs the guard, as he picks himself out of the boot, to drink his health in a glass of hot brandy and water, at which the guard smiles too, and messes Snodgrass, Winkle and Tupman all smile in company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guard and Mr. Weller disappear for five minutes, most probably to get the hot brandy and water, for they smell very strongly of it when they return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The coachman mounts to the box. Mr. Weller jumps up behind. The pickwickians pull their coats round their legs and their shawls over their noses. The helpers pull the horse cloths off. The coachman shouts out a cheerio- Alright! And away they go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have rumbled through the streets and jolted over the stones and at length reached a wide and open country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wheels skim over the hard and frosty ground. Are the horses bursting into a canter at a smart crack of the whip?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Step along the road as if the load behind them, coach, passengers, codfish, oyster barrels and all, were but a feather at their heels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have descended a gentle slope and entered upon a level as compact and dry as a solid block of marble, two miles long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another crack of the whip, and on they speed at a smart gallop, the horses tossing their heads and rattling the harness, as if in exhilaration at the rapidity of the motion. While the coachman, holding whip and reins in one hand, takes off his hat with the other, and resting it on his knees, pulls out his handkerchief and wipes his forehead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Partly because he has a habit of doing it, and partly because it's as well to show the passengers how cool he is, and what an easy thing it is to drive four in hand when you have had as much practice as he has.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having done this very leisurely, otherwise the effect would be materially impaired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He replaces his handkerchief, pulls on his hat, adjusts his gloves, squares his elbows, cracks the whip again, and on they speed more merrily than before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lively notes of the guard's key bugle vibrate in the clear cold air and wake up the old gentleman inside who, carefully letting down the window sash halfway and standing sentry over the air, takes a short peep out


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then carefully pulling it up again informs the other inside that they're going to change directly. On which the other inside wakes himself up and determines to postpone his next nap until after the stoppage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again the bugle sounds lustily forth and rouses the cottage's wife and children who peep out at the house door and watch the coach till it turns the corner when they once more crouch round the blazing fire and throw on another log of wood against father comes home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While father himself, a full mile off, has just exchanged a friendly nod with the coachman and turned round to take a good long stare at the vehicle as it whirls away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the coachman, undoing the buckle which keeps his ribbons together, prepares to throw them off the moment he stops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Pickwick emerges from his coat collar and looks about him with great curiosity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perceiving which, the coachman informs Mr. Pickwick of the name of the town, and tells him it was market day yesterday, both of which pieces of information Mr. Pickwick retails to his fellow passengers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When upon they emerge from their coat collars too, and look about them also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Winkle, who sits at the extreme edge with one leg dangling in the air, is nearly precipitated into the street as the coach twists round the sharp corner by the cheesemonger's shop and turns into the marketplace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And before Mr. Snodgrass, who sits next to him, has recovered from his alarm, they pull up at the inn yard, where the fresh horses with cloths on, are already waiting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The coachman throws down the reins and gets down himself. And the other outside passengers drop down also. Except those who have no great confidence in their ability to get up again. And they remain where they are and stamp their feet against the coach to warm them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And has seen the horsies carefully put to, and has thrown on the pavement the saddle which was brought from London on the coach roof, and has assisted in the conference between the coachman and the hostler about the grey mare that hurt her off four legs last Tuesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he and Mr. Weller are all right behind, and the coachman is all right in front, and the gentleman inside, who has kept the window down full two inches all this time, has pulled it up again, and the cloths are off, and they're all ready for starting except the two stout gentlemen, whom the coachman inquires after with some impatience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For they've been having a glass of ale apiece, and Mr. Pickwick's fingers are so cold that he has been four, five minutes before he could find the Sixmans to pay for it. The coachman shouts in admonitory, Now then, gentlemen! The guard re-echoes it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The old gentleman inside thinks it a very extraordinary thing that people will get down when they know there isn't time for it. Mr. Pickwick struggles up on one side, Mr. Tupman on the other, Mr. Winklecries all right, and off they start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such was the progress of Mr. Pickwick and his friends by the Muggleton Telegraph on their way to Dingleydale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at three o'clock that afternoon, they all stood, high and dry, safe and sound, hale and hearty, upon the steps of the blue lion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having taken on the road quite enough of ale and brandy to enable them to bid defiance to the frost that was binding up the earth in its iron fetters and weaving its beautiful network upon the trees and hedges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Pickwick was busily engaged in counting the barrels of oysters and superintending the disinterment of the codfish when he felt himself gently pulled by the skirts of the coat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking round, he discovered that the individual who resorted to this mode of catching his attention was no other than Mr. Wardle's favorite page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Better known to the readers of this unvarnished history by the distinguishing appellation of the Fat Boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he said it, he glanced from the codfish to the oyster barrels and chuckled joyously. He was fatter than ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you look rosy enough, my young friend, said Mr. Pickwick. I've been asleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right in front of the taproom, fire replied the fat boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For he remembered how they had traveled over nearly the same ground on a previous occasion. Yes, we would rather walk. Yes, I'm. Sure, said Mr Weller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Help Mr. Wardle's servant to put the packages into the cart and then ride on with him. We will walk forward at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having given this direction and settled with the coachman, Mr. Pickwick and his three friends struck into the footpath across the fields and walked briskly away, leaving Mr. Weller and the fat boy confronted together for the first time. Sam looked at the fat boy with great astonishment, but without saying a word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, young twenty stone, said Sam. You're a nice specimen of a prize boy you are. Thank ye, said the fat boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ain't got nothing on your mind as makes you fret yourself, have you? Inquired Sam. Not as I know he's on, replied the fat boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should rather have thought to look at you that you was a labourer and under an unrequited attachment to some young woman, said Sam. The fat boy shook his head. Well, said Sam, I'm glad to hear it. Do you ever drink anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, replied the boy, and I likes a drop of something when it's good. Oh, you do do, you said Sam. Come this way then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The blue lion tap was soon gained, and the fat boy swallowed a glass of liquor without so much as winking, a feat which considerably advanced him in Mr Weller's good opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr Weller, having transacted a similar piece of business on his own account, they got into the cart. Can you drive? said the fat boy. Or should Ray think so? replied Sam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With these words, the fat boy laid himself affectionately down by the side of the codfish, and placing an oyster barrel under his head for the pillow, fell asleep instantaneously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of all the cool boys ever I set my eyes on, this here young gentleman's the coolest. Come, wake up young dropsy!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as young Dropsy evinced no symptoms of returning animation, Sam Weller sat himself down in front of the cart, and starting the old horse with the jerk of the rein, jogged steadily on towards Manor Farm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, Mr Pickwick and his friends, having walked their blood into active circulation, proceeded cheerfully on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The paths were hard, the grass was crisp and frosty, the air had a fine, dry, bracing coldness, and the rapid approach of the grey twilight, slate-coloured is a better term in frosty weather, made them look forward with pleasant anticipation to the comforts which awaited them at their hospitable entertainers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the sort of afternoon that might induce a couple of elderly gentlemen in a lonely field to take off their great coats and play at leapfrog in pure likeness of heart and gaiety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we firmly believe that had Mr. Topman at that moment proffered aback,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Pickwick would have accepted his offer with the utmost avidity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, Mr. Tupman did not volunteer at any such accommodation, and the friends walked on, conversing merrily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As they turned into a lane they had to cross, the sound of many voices burst upon their ears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then there were Bella and her faithful trundle. And lastly, there were Emily and some eight or ten young ladies who had all come down to the wedding which was to take place next day. And who were in as happy and important a state as young ladies usually are on such momentous occasions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although it was full three feet high and had only a couple of stepping stones, would seem to require.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While one black-eyed young lady, in a very nice little pair of boots with fur round the top, was observed to scream very loudly when Mr. Winkle offered to help her over. All this was very snug and pleasant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when the difficulties of the style were at last surmounted, and they once more entered on the open field, old Wardle informed Mr. Pickwick how they had all been down in a body to inspect the furniture and fittings up at the house which the young couple would attend after the Christmas holidays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At which communication? Bella and Trundle both coloured up as red as the fat boy after the taproom fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was as modest as all great geniuses usually are, felt the crimson rising to the crown of his head, and devoutly wished in the inmost recesses of his own heart, that the young lady aforesaid with her black eyes and her archness and her boots with the fur round the top, were all comfortably deposited in the adjacent county.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if they were social and happy outside the house, what was the warmth and cordiality of their reception when they reached the farm? The very servants grinned with pleasure at sight of Mr. Pickwick, and Emma bestowed a half demure, half impudent and all pretty look of recognition on Mr. Tupman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was enough to make the statue of Bonaparte in the passage unfold his arms and clasp her within them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she was rather cross and by consequence most particularly deaf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She never went out herself, and like a great many other old ladies of the same stamp, she was apt to consider it an act of domestic treason, if anybody else took the liberty of doing what she couldn't. So, bless her old soul, she sat as upright as she could in her great chair, and looked as fierce as might be, and that was benevolent after all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mother, said Mr. Wardle, Mr. Pickwick, you recollect him? Never mind, replied the old lady with great dignity. Don't trouble Mr. Pickwick about an old creature like me. Nobody cares about me now and it's very natural he should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nonsense, mother, said Wardle. Come, come, don't be cross. There's a good soul. Recollect Bella. Come, you must give her spirits up, poor girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The good old lady heard this, for her lip quivered as her son said it, but age has its little infirmities of temper and she was not quite brought round yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No doubt about that mom, said Mr. Pickwick, and that's the reason why I would make much of the few that have any traces of the old stock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And saying this, Mr. Pickwick gently pulled Bella towards him, and bestowing a kiss upon her forehead, bade her sit down on the little stool at her grandmother's feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether the expression of her countenance as it was raised towards the old lady's face called up a thought of old times,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all the little ill humour evaporated in a gush of silent tears. A happy party they were that night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sedate and solemn were the score of rubbers in which Mr. Pickwick and the old lady played together, uproarious was the mirth of the round table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long after the ladies had retired, did the hot elder wine, well qualified with brandy and spice, go round and round and round again. And sound was the sleep, and pleasant were the dreams that followed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a remarkable fact that those of Mr. Snodgrass brought constant reference to Emily Wardle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that the principal figure in Mr. Winkle's visions was a young lady with black boots, an arch smile, and a pair of remarkably nice boots with fur around the tops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Pickwick was awakened early in the morning by a hum of voices and a pattering of feet sufficient to rouse even the fat boy from his heavy slumbers. He sat up in bed and listened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The occasion being an important one, he dressed himself with peculiar care and descended to the breakfast room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were all the female servants, in a brand new uniform of pink muslin gowns with white bows in their caps, running about the house in a state of excitement and agitation which it would be impossible to describe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The hearty old landlord was trying to look very cheerful and unconcerned, but failing signally in the attempt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the girls were in tears and white muslin, except a select two or three who were being honored with a private view of the bride and bridesmaids upstairs. All the Pickwickians were in most blooming array.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there was a terrific roaring on the grass in front of the house, occasioned by all the men, boys, and hobbledyhoids attached to the farm, each of whom had got a white bow in his buttonhole, and all of whom were cheering with might and main,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being incited thereunto and stimulated therein by the precept and example of Mr Samuel Weller who had managed to become mighty popular already and was as much at home as if he had been born on the land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A wedding is a licensed subject to joke upon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there really is no great joke in the matter after all. We speak merely of the ceremony and beg it to be distinctly understood that we indulge in no hidden sarcasm upon a married life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To encounter its cares and troubles with others still untried and little known.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Natural feelings, which we would not render this chapter mournful by describing, and which we would be still more unwilling to be supposed to ridicule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let us briefly say then, that the ceremony was performed by the old clergyman in the parish church of Dingleydale, and that Mr. Pickwick's name is attached to the register, still preserved in the vestry thereof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the young lady with the black eye signed her name in a very unsteady and tremulous manner. That Emily's signature as the other bridesmaid is nearly illegible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that although the owner of the black eyes and the arch smile informed Mr. Winkle that she was sure she could never submit to anything so dreadful,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have the very best reasons for thinking she was mistaken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, the old church bell rang as gaily as it could, and they all returned to breakfast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where did the mince pies go, young opium eater? Said Mr Weller to the fat boy, as he assisted in laying out such articles of consumption as had not been duly arranged on the previous night. The fat boy pointed to the destination of the pies. Were he good? Said Sam. Stick a bit of Christmas in him. Tell the dishwasher. There. Now we look compact and comfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Mr Weller made the comparison, he fell back a step or two to give full effect to it, and surveyed the preparations with the utmost satisfaction. Wardle!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said Mr. Pickwick, almost as soon as they were all seated, a glass of wine in honor of this happy occasion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn that boy, he's gone to sleep! No I ain't, sir, replied the fat boy, starting up from a remote corner where, like the patron saint of fat boys, the immortal Horner, he had been devouring a Christmas pie, though not with the coolness and deliberation which characterized that young gentleman's proceedings. Fill Mr. Pickwick's glass. Yes, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fat boy filled Mr. Pickwick's glass and then retired behind his master's chair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From whence he watched the play of the knives and forks, and the progress of the choice morsels from the dishes to the mouths of the company,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a kind of dark and gloomy joy that was most impressive. God bless you old fellow, said Mr Pickwick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same to you, my boy, replied Wardle, and they pledged each other heartily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Wardle, said Mr. Pickwick, we old folks must have a glass of wine together in honor of this joyful event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The old lady was in a state of great grandeur just then, for she was sitting at the top of the table in the brocaded gown, with her newly married granddaughter on one side, and Mr. Pickwick on the other to do the carving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Pickwick had not spoken in a very loud tone, but she understood him at once and drank off a full glass of wine to his long life and happiness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After which, the worthy old soul launched forth into a minute and particular account of her own wedding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all of which the old lady herself laughed very heartily indeed. And so did the young ladies too, for they were wondering among themselves what on earth grandma was talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they laughed, the old lady laughed ten times more heartily and said that these always had been considered capital stories, which caused them all to laugh again and put the old lady into the very best of humours. Then the cake was cut and passed through the ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The young ladies saved pieces to put under their pillows to dream of their future husbands on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said Mr. Pickwick to his old acquaintance, the hard-headed gentleman. A glass of wine with great satisfaction, Mr. Pickwick, replied the hard-headed gentleman solemnly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Pickwick expressed his heartfelt delight at every additional suggestion, and his eyes beamed with hilarity and cheerfulness. Ladies and gentlemen, said Mr. Pickwick, suddenly rising.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Call in all the servants, cried old Wardle, interposing to prevent the public rebuke which Mr Weller would otherwise most indubitably have received from his master. Give them a glass of wine each to drink the toast in. Now, Pickwickham.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, Mr. Pickwick was interrupted by immense applause from the ladies, echoed by the gentlemen, during which the owner of the eyes was distinctly heard to state that she could kiss that dear Mr. Pickwick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whereupon Mr. Winkle gallantly inquired if it couldn't be done by deputy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To which the young lady with the black eyes replied, go away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And accompanied the request with a look which said as plainly as a look could, if you can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dear friends, resumed Mr. Pickwick, I am going to propose the health of the bride and bridegroom. God bless them. Tears and tears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, the fat boy burst forth into stentorian blubberings and was led forth by the coat collar by Mr. Weller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But failing that, I am happy to be old enough to be her father. For being so, I shall not be suspected of any latent designs when I say that I admire, esteem, and love them both. Cheers and sobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bride's father, our good friend there, is a noble person, and I'm proud to know him. Great uproar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enthusiastic shouts from the poor relations at all the adjectives, and especially at the too last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let us drink their healths and wish them prolonged life and every blessing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once more were the lungs of the supernumeries under Mr. Weller's command brought into active and efficient operation. Mr. Wardle proposed Mr. Pickwick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Pickwick proposed the old lady. Mr. Snodgrass proposed Mr. Wardle. Mr. Wardle proposed Mr. Snodgrass. One of the poor relations proposed Mr. Tupman and the other poor relation proposed Mr. Winkle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At dinner, they met again after a five and twenty mile walk undertaken by the males at Wardle's recommendation to get rid of the effects of the wine at breakfast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The poor relations had kept in bed all day, with the view of attaining the same happy consummation. But as they had been unsuccessful, they stopped there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Weller kept the domestics in a state of perpetual hilarity, and the fat boy divided his time into small alternate allotments of eating and sleeping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dinner was as hearty an affair as the breakfast and was quite as noisy without the tears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then came the dessert and some more toasts. Then came the tea and coffee, and then the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best sitting room at Manor Farm was a good, long, dark panel room, with a high chimney piece and a capacious chimney, up which you could have driven one of the new patent cabs, wheels and all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the upper end of the room, seated in a shady bower of holly and evergreens, were the two best fiddlers and the only harp in all Muggleton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In all sorts of recesses and in all kinds of brackets stood massive old silver candlesticks with four branches each. The carpet was up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The candles burnt bright, the fire blazed and crackled on the hearth, and merry voices and light-hearted laughter rang through the room. If any of the old English yeoman had turned into fairies when they died, it was just the place in which they would have held their revels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Pickwick called attention to his speckled silk stockings and smartly tied pumps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why not, said Mr. Pickwick, turning warmly upon him. Oh, of course there's no reason why you shouldn't wear them, responded Mr. Tupman. I imagine not, sir. I imagine not, said Mr. Pickwick in a very peremptory tone. Mr. Tupman had contemplated a laugh.

[Assistant] But he found it was a serious matter, so he looked grave and said they were a pretty pattern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope they are, said Mr. Pickwick, fixing his eyes upon his friend. You see nothing extraordinary in the stockings as stockings, I trust, sir. Certainly not, oh, certainly not, replied Mr. Tupman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He walked away, and Mr. Pickwick's countenance resumed its customary benign expression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're all ready, I believe, said Mr. Pickwick, who was stationed with the old lady at the top of the dance, and had already made four false starts in his excessive anxiety to commence. Then begin at once, said Waddle, now!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up struck the two fiddles and the one harp, and off went Mr. Pickwick into hands across, when there was a general clapping of hands and a crier, stop, stop!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the matter? said Mr. Pickwick, who was only brought to by the fiddles and harp desisting, and could have been stopped by no other earthly power if the house had been on fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here we are, exclaimed that gentleman, emerging with his pretty companion from the corner. As he did so, it would have been hard to tell which was the redder in the face, he or the young lady with the black eyes. What an extraordinary thing it is, Winkle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said Mr. Pickwick rather pettishly that you couldn't have taken your place before. Not at all extraordinary, said Mr. Winkle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, said Mr. Pickwick with a very expressive smile as his eyes rested on Arabella.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't know that it was extraordinary either, after all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And last, after they had reached the bottom of the dance, and full fourteen couple after the old lady had retired in an exhausted state, and the clergyman's wife had been substituted in her stead, did that gentleman, when there was no demand whatever on his exertions, keep perpetually dancing in his place to keep time to the music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long before Mr. Pickwick was weary of dancing, the newly married couple had retired from the scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a glorious supper downstairs, notwithstanding, and a good long sitting after it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which Mr. Pickwick rightly considered a pretty certain indication of his having taken something besides exercise on the previous night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so your family has games in the kitchen tonight, my dear, has it? Inquired Sam of Emma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, Mr Weller, replied Emma, we always have on Christmas Eve. Master wouldn't neglect to keep it up on any account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fat youth gave a semi-cannibalic leer at Mr Weller as he thought of the roast legs and gravy. Oh, you woke up at last, have you? said Sam. The fat boy nodded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll tell you what it is, young boy constrictor, said Mr Weller impressively. If you don't sleep a little less and exercise a little more,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inquired the fat boy in a faltering voice. Oh, I am a going to tell you, replied Mr Weller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Regular fat man has hadn't caught a glimpse of his own shoes for five and forty years. No, exclaimed Emma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, daddy hadn't, my dear, said Mr Weller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He always walks to his office with a very handsome gold watch chain hanging out about a foot and a quarter and a gold watch in his fob pocket as was worth, I'm afraid to say how much, but as much as a watch can be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A large, heavy, round manufacturer, as stout for a watch as he was for a man, and with a big face in proportion. You'd better not carry that air watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Says the old gentleman's friends. You'll be robbed on it, says they. Shall I, says he. Yes you will, says they. Well, says he, I should like to see the thiefers could get this here watch out. For I'm blessed if I ever can, it's such a tight fit, says he. And whenever I wants to know what's o'clock, I'm obliged to stare into the baker's shops, he says.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They weren't a pickpocket or an all-Londoners didn't take a pull at that chain. But the chain never did break.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the watch had never come out. So they soon got tired of dragging such a heavy old gentleman along the pavement. And he'd go home and laugh till the pigtail vibrated like the pendulum of a Dutch clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At last, one day, the old gentleman was rolling along, and he sees a pickpocket, as he know by sight, coming up arm in arm with a little boy with a very large head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's a game, says the old gentleman to himself. Here again, we'll have another try, but it won't do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he begins to chuckle in worry hearty when all of a sudden the little boy leaves hold of the pickpockets arm and rushes head foremost straight in the old gentleman's stomach and for a moment doubles him right up with the pain. Murder!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when he came straight again, the watching chain was gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what's worse than that, the old gentleman's digestion was all wrong ever afterwards, to the weary last day of his life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Mr. Wellick included this moral tale, with which the fat boy appeared much affected, they all three repaired to the large kitchen, in which the family were by this time assembled, according to annual custom on Christmas Eve, observed by old Wardle's forefathers from time immemorial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the midst of which, Mr. Pickwick, with a gallantry that would have done honour to a descendant of Lady Tollingblower herself, took the old lady by the hand, led her beneath the mystic branch, and saluted her in all courtesy and decorum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Winkle kissed the young lady with the black eyes, and Mr. Snodgrass kissed Emily, and Mr. Weller, not being particular about the form of being under the mistletoe, kissed Emma and the other female servants just as he caught them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As to the poor relations, they kissed everybody, not even accepting the plainer portions of the young lady visitors, who, in their excessive confusion, ran right under the mistletoe as soon as it was hung up without knowing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wardle stood with his back to the fire, surveying the whole scene with the utmost satisfaction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Fat Boy took the opportunity of appropriating to his own use, and summarily devouring, a particularly fine mince pie that had been carefully put by for somebody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the screaming had subsided, and faces were in a glow, and curls in a tangle, and Mr. Pickwick after kissing the old lady, as before mentioned, was standing under the mistletoe, looking with a very pleased countenance on all that was passing around him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the young lady with the black eyes, after a little whispering with the other young ladies, made a sudden dart forward and putting her arm round Mr. Pickwick's neck, saluted him affectionately on the left cheek.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And before Mr. Pickwick distinctly knew what was the matter, he was surrounded by the whole body and kissed by every one of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was a still more pleasant thing to see Mr. Pickwick blinded shortly afterwards with a silk handkerchief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the utmost relish for the game until at last he caught one of the poor relations and then had to evade the blind man himself, which he did with a nimbleness and agility that elicited the admiration and applause of all beholders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The poor relations caught the people who they thought would like it, and when the game flagged got caught themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when fingers enough were burned with that and all the raisins were gone, they sat down by the huge fire of blazing logs to a substantial supper and a mighty bowl of wassail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody sits down with us on Christmas Eve as you see them now, servants and all, and here we wait until the clock strikes twelve to usher Christmas in and beguile the time with four fits and old stories. Trundle my boy, rake up the fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus saying, the merry old gentleman, in a good, round, sturdy voice, commenced, without more ado, a Christmas carol.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A mild harvest night by the tranquil light of the modest and gentle moon Has a far sweeter sheen for me I wean than the broad and unblushing noon But every leaf awakens my grief as it lieth beneath the tree


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This song was tumultuously applauded, for friends and dependents make a capital audience, and the poor relations especially were in perfect ecstasies of rapture. Again the fire was replenished, and again went the wassail round. How it snows, said one of the men in a low tone. Snow does it, said Wardle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rough, cold night, sir, replied the man. And as a wind got up, it drifted across the field in a thick white cloud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What does Jem say? Inquired the old lady. There ain't anything the matter, is there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should know that by the way it rumbles in the chimney. Ah, said the old lady. There was just such a wind and just such a fall of snow. A good many years back, I recollect. Just five years before your poor father died. It was a Christmas Eve too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember that on that very night, he told us the story about the goblins that carried away old Gabriel Grubb. The story about what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here goes, to give the goblin a fair start in a new one, a clear stage, and no favour for the goblins, ladies and gentlemen, if you please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will react to Carr's recent interview.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As, uh, I've seen several reports indicating that the Saints are not ruling out Derek Carr for the matchups like QE just had to show this, she was up. Part of that is strategy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They want to try to, uh, kind of leave a question mark, you know, for people that's, uh, you know, for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buccaneer. So we'll go over the wrap up show, the injury report.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll also listen to and react to several interviews, including Derek Carr's recent interview.

[Assistant] One of the things that's going on right now is the crisis. I'm gonna call it a crisis, but it is the Mississippi River literally drying up. I mean, you can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Google pictures of it. It's throughout the river. If you get pictures from Memphis, the Memphis area, you can see it. It's just a lot of stuff going on, stuff that you never thought you would ever see is happening. And those are telltale signs of coming. So.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be speaking on that Patreon special that'll be this weekend. It's gonna be a very busy weekend for me, but I'ma definitely drop some game on that. But anyway, shout out to the family. Let's get going in this episode of the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Much love, let's cover a few things right here. Saints Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Wednesday wrap up show. Shout out to Noony, man. Noony Jenkins, uh, our contributor, one of our Saints contributor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her and Niles Carpenter, they do a fantastic job. I just love our contributors, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, New Orleans Saints prepared to face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week four. And of course, the Saints injury report, as it seems with some, some of the players that break down. You had Jordan Howard in the rookie, uh, who was on the list with a finger issue. Of course it's Wednesday, the first reports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was DNP didn't play Derek Carr, of course his right shoulder issue. Uh, he did not play. We knew that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New Cesar Ruiz was dealing with a concussion from the game. He was taken out. Cesar Ruiz was put in there. Paulson Adibou have his hamstring issue. He was DNP'd as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tight end, uh, tight end Foster Monroe still dealing with an ankle issue and Jimmy Graham, along with tackle Ryan Ramchick, all getting those two veterans getting the rest days and Foster Monroe dealing with an ankle issue. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's stop going on with the Saints offensive line. We're not certain that Cesar Ruiz will clear concussion protocol.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game, it would be good to actually have him back. If he can't go, we know Andrus Pete will be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the guy that steps in there, I know a lot of people are not really too excited about that, but Deandris Pete is a decent offensive lineman when he's healthy. Also, Foss Monroe, ankle issue, but we do have Jimmy Graham.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taysom Hill and, and Jawan Johnson, those guys seem to be doing okay. And of course we know about Ryan Ramchick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's, and that's not just Ryan Ramchak, it's the entire Saints Offensive line has struggled the first three weeks of the season. The Saints currently sitting up at two and one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we, we can kind of rectify things in the first month of the season by kind of opening up. And I've said this before, and I'll say it again, once I get through the rest of the injury report, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carlton Davis, one of their better cornerbacks dealing with a toe issue. Jamal Dean is the other cornerback. He was DNP'd neck and shoulder problems. Uh, Sir Vance Servosia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dennis is a hamstring. He was DMPed. Kalaja Kancy was a guy we was looking at have a calf issue. He did, he was DMPed. So was Derrick Pitts, the cornerback, nose tackle Vita Vey was DMPed as well. And linebacker Devin White.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was DNP with foot issues. So they're dealing with some issues. We'll see exactly what this look like when we move closer into the week. We get the Friday report. We'll see exactly what's going on with some of these players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well. Now, let me say this about the Saints loss and then we'll kind of span ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those type of losses when you go up to a place that you were supposed to be with a team that was missing five of its best players and you are leading the team in the fourth quarter and then the last 11 minutes of the game, you surrender 18 points to lose said game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have to put your tail between your legs, take a flight all the way back down to Louisiana and hear from the family members for a whole week on how you imploded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, this type of game, this type of embarrassing ass game has a positive effect on a team with some con- well, I ain't gonna say confidence, but with at least a little pride. Some, some moral about themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be embarrassed like that. These type of embarrassing affairs do have a galvanizing effect. They do and they can. This could galvanize the saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Team to perform better. It could force guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not playing well to get on code with each other. It can form a com- even closer camaraderie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course, bring up a higher level of accountability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the players as well as the assistant coaches and the coaches above them. It can galvanize teams. Now what I'm saying is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's really interesting about this upcoming game against the Bucks is that this is the fourth game of the regular season fam. This is a month worth of NFL games. And usually by the fourth game, you should see them figure out what they want to do and take off. Now this game should give them some attitude and get them focused on what they need to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this, it should give them an edge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To take off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So if, if I'm right in my thinking, and it's just me thinking, if I'm right in my thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm thinking the saint should be able to kind of write a lot of wrongs and iron out a lot of wrinkles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With this upcoming matchup in the dome against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which is sets up perfectly. You get embarrassed on the road. You come back home for one game. Cause then after that, you got to leave for two more weeks to play teams you usually don't play, which is the New England Patriots and the Houston Texans. But this could be a game in which the saints let go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of the frustrations and all this other stuff, they let go and they have a really the best game that we've seen them have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the season against the Buccaneers in the dome before they take it to the road. So that's what my thought process and I'll be, my process is I'll now be interested and be paying close attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what kind of version of the saints that we're going to get against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? By all accounts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The team that we should see against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should be a team that runs the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not, you know, not demoralizing running ball like you've seen what happened with the Philadelphia Eagles against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. They was just ridiculous on Monday night. And with that being said, you're getting the team on a short week. They got beat up pretty bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the Philadelphia Eagles. So everything's working. You're getting them in the building at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And really put the smack down on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and right the wrongs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of what happened this past week and the two previous weeks of poor play, which we can get past that because we understand that in the first two, three weeks of the season, you're going to see preschool regular season style football with a lot of errors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of uh, confusion because they don't know exactly what they want to do and how they want to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But a lot of this stuff needs to be cleaned up. We get AK-41 back, we get some stuff happening that's positive, but we need to see a more confident, stronger, disciplined, Saint team that lay the smack down on this Tampa Bay Buccaneers club. Alright, anyway, let's keep it moving, fam. Let's go on to the next one, man. Let's hear from, uh, Dennis Allen. We're gonna play this Dennis Allen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, video or conference of what he thought, uh, and he usually do these like at least once a week. These conference calls that only usually last that long. Sean Payton used to do a lot of these. So y'all put one in the chat if y'all can hear Dennis on the conference call. Here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me stop it right there, man. And, uh, you heard him address the Trey Quine Smith, uh, situation where the, he, the, and yeah, for family members don't notice the saints did release Trey Quine Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we covered it. And of course, this is the latest stuff right here. And of course, you know, this is what's going to happen. He's going to run to his homeboy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Report X Saints, Y receiver, Trey Quan Smith to visit Peyton's Broncos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course, you know, that's how it goes. Trey Quince will be released by the Saints on Tuesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And many a fan only have jokingly assumed the veteran obviously would end up in Denver reuniting with head coach Sean Payton. They were, they weren't wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike Cliss reports that Broncos will bring in Smith for a visit Wednesday night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And have undergo a physical Thursday, a potential prelude to said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reunion, uh, Sean Payton helped select Williams, who's 27, I mean, Smith, excuse me, who's 27 in the third round of the 2018 draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the UCF standout May 51 appearances, 21, 29 start doing his four years under Peyton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 112 catches for 1486 and 17 touchdowns. Despite their history, however, it's difficult to imagine where Smith would fit in if Payton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Penn is put to paper, the Broncos have Jerry Judy, Courtney Southern, uh, Courtney Southern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And entrenched at the top of the depth chart with fellow NOLA alum, LeJordan Humphrey and increasingly progressing Brandon Johnson, pulling up the rear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's also a matter of explosive rookie, Marvin Mims Jr. Who leads the NFL in yards per catch. So where would Tre'Quan Smith fit? Well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Sean Payton, he'll probably fit somewhere and like I said, it's always injuries that happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will he ever have an opportunity to stick and stay with that club? Anyway, that's uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big ups to Trey Quine Smith, man. He was a guy and we ultimately knew that the saints that you heard with Dennis Allen said, good question by Mike Triplett. Uh, like I said, Triplett asked the best questions. I'm gonna have to put an award together and send it to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best asking, the best questioning, asking Saints reporter we have is Mike Tripoli. He always has, he asks the best questions. He asks the type of questions I will ask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That most of them just skip clean over. No disrespect to him, but he just asks the right questions. He, and he's good at it cause he asks more questions than the rest of them. If you listen to a lot of these things, I hear him all the time, sometimes two or three times more than you hear the rest of the reporters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he's good at what he does. But anyway, let's get back to the report and finish up on what Dennis Sal is saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, that's uh, Dennis Allen, man. He got the hell out of there quick, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reality is like, you, you, you think about stuff like that. What Dennis Allen was saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About the team and about the quarterback and we know what time it is with Carr. We know, we understand what's going to happen with Derek Carr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know that the New Orleans Saints are not going to start their, their car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the matchup against Tampa Bay. This is Jameis Winston time. That's what he's here for. That's why we didn't trade him when the other, when Aaron Rodgers went down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After four snaps and opening of the first week of NFL action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in terms of the, what's the time frame, you know, on an AC joint spring, we talked about it on, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On TSC Patreon Live on Tuesday, we talked about it, we covered it. Allow me to share this with you fam, this is straight from WebMD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, about this sprain, I will, a lot of you guys educated yourself on AC joint sprain and what causes it ligaments and tendons involved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm not going to bore you with all this medical stuff, but I know one of the thing is AC joint, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talked about that and this is a very, I'm not going to say it's a rare, well, it is kind of rare outside of a high contact sport like hockey or football. They get a lot of these things. Like it says right here, the percentage of football players, I mean, this injury happens in football players 40% of the time. That's very high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the cause is a hard hit. We know what time it is. Derek Carr is holding the ball. Guy just slams him down on the ground. And thank goodness it was just grass. Really? You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could you imagine if that was done on a harder surface, what the guy did?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Green Bay is grass, it's grass, literal natural grass. Could you imagine what it would have been if it was, you know, a harder surface?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But anyway, AC joint springs classified by grading systems, type ones, two threes, so on and so forth. So obviously I won't get into the higher ones, but type one entries talk about the AC ligament. One of the ligaments supporting the joint is sprained. AC joint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And other supporting ligaments and surrounding muscles aren't effective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Type two injuries have completely torn AC ligaments. We know that's not him. Cause they said that he doesn't, when it's torn, it requires surgery. They said that there was no damage there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, what is the treatment? Rest in the shoulder. Give the shoulder time to rest and heal. Avoid any activities that further aggravate the injury, including sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sleeping on the shoulder. You can't even sleep on it. And then use the injured arm to reach above your head. That's a no-no. You gotta keep that in the sling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the sling can help protect the shoulder from another injury and help protects the joint to heal correctly. Using cold packs, pain medicine if necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If cold packs and over-the-counter or prescribed pain medications can help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alleviate pain and reduce swelling near the shoulder. Stick into a rehabilitation plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the shoulder starts to heal this completely, it's important to move the shoulder joint to heal properly. Please consult the doctor and we know he got them in the building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that moves us to the AC joint spring recovery time. How long will it take you, Dr. Q, to get this out the way? Well, you'll see.

[Assistant] AC joint sprain recovery time varies depending on how bad the sprain is. Type 1 sprains are pretty mild, while the rest are quite, you know, goes up into different degrees of severe. With a mild sprain, you can expect this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It to start to feel better and move normally after six weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By three months, the show should be back, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normal and the most severe injuries it takes longer to heal after surgery if the surgery required.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually it takes 6 weeks or longer, 6 months for the shoulder to fully return to normal. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's some of it right here. So of course we know that they got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or you know, they got that cortisone shot that they can shoot in that shoulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's what I was telling the family members that he's not going to rule anybody out because it's smart not to rule anybody out right now because he understands that the saints don't have, you know, the saints don't have to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Use that ticket. They have to keep Tampa Bay guessing on who the quarterback is going to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we know who the quarterback is going to be this week and next week. We know who the quarterback is going to be. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we'll see how it all ferrets out. Let's go on over to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's Mickey Loomis. We haven't heard from Mick the Mixter, Slick Mickey himself. We haven't heard from him in a while. Let's listen what old Slick Mickey had to say. I ain't gonna play the whole thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to play a large portion of it. It's an interview done by WWL. They had Mickey and I can't believe Mickey stuck with him that long, but here's the interview. And he talked about a number of things. Here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's interesting is we talked about the Isaac Yidam situation. Isaac Yidam needs to stop face guarding as much. It's ridiculous. I'm sitting up here watching Isaac Yidam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how we get the menaceptions up. He ain't gonna be able to catch him if he can't see him, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I mean, if you look at the film, study the technique, cause I like Yidam. The young cornerback still got a lot to learn. Allante Taylor was picked on a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was picked on a lot and he was able to come through it. So, uh, and a lot of people anticipating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Alontay Taylor, man, was fantastic. We know Isaac Udom gave up the, uh, the touchdown, uh, in the Green Bay game cause it was face guarding the guy and, and the ball was thrown. It's just a part of the game and they were tired, but nobody's gonna, nobody cares about that. All that people care about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is if you, you gotta get the dub, man. That's, that's what it comes down to. So they're not gonna step here and the defense is not gonna say, well, we stunk because our offense stunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're going to all take the onus for the L together like a team supposed to. So let's finish up with making.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead, Mickey. Mickey say we gotta develop some killer instinct. Go ahead, Mickey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on to damn, uh, my call, so I don't damn, hold on. I ain't done yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But listen, Mickey's dropping some facts right there, man. Absolutely. He's talking some good sense right there, talking about the killer instinct. He's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and to my knowledge, I didn't hear Mickey Loomis, I mean not Mickey Loomis, but Dennis Salad mention anything about developing the killer instinct. We gotta make adjustments, all this kind of stuff. No, if you had killer instinct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't want that contest because you have never allowed the people to leak back into the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You the founder, we see, and then we talked about this when you get fundamental about running attack, they have a nasty running attack. You have to have attitude. You can't be a melancholy, vanilla.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, non-emotional offensive line like the Saints are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta find a reason to be upset and play with attitude and play with an edge. They're not doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does they damn sure have the ability to run block? These people can run block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've done it for years. We've seen them hoist one of the best run tag, you know, when Elvin Kamara and Mark Ingram was here and all these other guys. The Saints always had a top 10, top 15 offense, man. They've always had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and all of a sudden this year, they don't have any guts. They plan with no attitude. They all vanilla.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It takes attitude. Somebody has to fire these men up so that they can understand, man, you need to handle your damn business. It takes attitude. The Saints not playing with any attitude. We know each one of these guys could play at a higher level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially Ryan Ramchick. I'm calling straight out to Ryan Ramchick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ramchek's the best offensive lineman we have, and he's playing like the third best offensive line, or probably the fourth best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he stinks out there many times. He's getting pushed around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it was a play where Rashon Gary beat him twice on the same play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He beat him, getting around him on the play, and then Jameis slid up into the pocket, or Kara forgot who the hell it was. Probably was Kara. Kara slid up into the pocket, or it was, I don't know who the hell it was. Slid up into the pocket, and then he still missed another block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get the guy before he grabbed him and wrestled him to the ground. So I'm like, he, this, this has to stop. Somebody has to pinpoint, call these guys out and force them to do the damn job. Shouldn't have to force you to do nothing. We ain't forcing you to cash the check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have to fuss at you to go. Brian, are you going to cash that check?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I think I'ma hold on for it, but not before another year or two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you sure? Are you sure you don't want to cash the cheque? You don't have to worry about them cashing the cheque. You don't have to worry about them spending the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I gotta implore you to run block something you supposed to do naturally as an offensive lineman in the NFL. That's how you get in the league. Most of them are not good pass blockers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they are good run blockers. Most of them, that's the base foundation for an offensive lineman to be a good run blocker. But you gotta play with attitude, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a part of that, like Mickey says, killer instinct, the Saints are lacking that from an offensive line perspective, the defense is flying around the field making plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Special teams kicking field goals in many cases the first two games to help you out. And the offense is up and down and I'm very disappointed in the offense, especially in the Green Bay Packers game because you tell me all the money spent on the Saints offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best we could do is one offensive touchdown. We can't do two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can't average fourth, at least 14 points in the game. If we'd have done that, we'd have beat the damn team. We'd not have to worry about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Green Bay did a good job stepping in that thing. They had the killer instinct. If anybody had it, they had it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They came back and won the damn game, so credit to them. So Mickey's pinpoint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me pause it right there and let me kind of reinforce what Mickey was saying and what Mike Hoss was dropping, what kind of game he was dropping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me share my screen with you guys. Right here, this is the current Saints season statistics right here through three weeks of football. This is what the Saints look like. Okay. Let me kind of superimpose and make it cause I know that lettering is a little small. So that should help out right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you look at the statistics right here, you know, for the saints, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offensive statistics right now, Saints total yards, they average in almost 215 yards per game in total offense. That's, that's 20th rank in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The average in 221.3 throwing a ball, which is middle of the pack in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're at, they're rushing at 93.3 yards per game. That's 21 in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're averaging 18 points a game offensively speaking. Okay. We were thinking about that, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we need to do here to get better and we talked about this in the pre-season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many points did this team score? You're looking at at least 20. This offense should be good enough to score at least 21 points a game. I mean at the Brock bottom 14 points, but they're giving you 17, almost 18 points a contest. That's 25th rank in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have three turnovers that's middle of the pack as well. So if we just look at the offense for a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you can see if you think about what the weapons the Sinks have, and this is all without Elven Kamara, by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elvin Kamara is not here, obviously, right through these three weeks. He's a, he's a big portion of the Saints offense. I think these graphs work some odd as representing at least.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 50% or 55, something like that, percent of the Saints offense. When he plays, he's that, you know, important. But the Saints right now are averaging 18 points a contest, man. That's not gonna cut it, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what needs to happen is for the saints to get better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That offense has to trend north. They have to trend better than this. But passing right now, passing yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Middle of the pack rushing attack ranked 21st in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally that 20 ranked in the NFL through three weeks, just three weeks, defensive side of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And stopping you at 99.7, that's top 10. So the Saints defense currently is a top 10 defense. They're allowing you to score an average of almost 17 points of contest. That's good for sixth in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've taken the ball away five times. That's good for 12th in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we still got one more game to throw in it, but if you look at what they were able to accomplish within three weeks, we've known so far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So statistically speaking, you can look directly at the stats and it'll show you exactly what the problem is with the New Orleans Saints. And we know that by looking at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With our eyes, but this lends even more credence to it statistically to prove to you how bad the saints are offensively speaking. This is, this is ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And it's showing you that they need to improve. 21 ranked to 21st ranked rushing attack in the NFL is laughable. Laughable. And they need to get it together. Back to Lumis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two-pack, the back-to-back pass interference were impacted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was questionable what happened with the Alante Taylor one, but I, but the Yidam one was obvious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the issue is, like Mickey said, putting yourself in that position in the first place shouldn't even, that shouldn't even been a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let us not forget when we talking about penalties or things happen, how many of the saints penalties did they have where it was self inflicted with false starts? Dumbness like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I mean, a lot of this stuff is not totally on the officials. They make, they're going to make calls against you in close games. Like when the games start getting close, they get really active. We know this because we've seen tons of football. I don't need no statistics to tell you that when the game is within seven points, the referees start getting really active in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially against you to try to make it more competitive, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a lot of stuff that needs to be cleaned up. And I'm talking about, I don't care what the referee, what are we talking about with the referees? They're going to do what they're going to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we can control what we do with pre-snap penalties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Saints had some of those in the game and that helped, that hurt us too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, and what's interesting about this whole thing, man, would, uh, would make you is given a lot of good game. And, um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've said this at the start of the broadcast is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Green Bay Packer loss was so humiliating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, one of those season moments that galvanized the team and put everybody on code and forces everybody to move forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of those situations, uh, an embarrassing situation that either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brings you up where you belong or, or you will sink further. So it's a good test early on of what this team can deal with and listen the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me just, despite the Madden simulation that happened tonight, I had to cut it off because it was ridiculous. Uh, but then again, listen, the Madden simulation that we run here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's perfect. It had been predicted. It didn't get the scores right, but it predicted the games exactly right. Like it is 3-0 in terms of when it says you win, you win and win through the first three weeks anyway. We hoping that is wrong because we lost big time tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But besides that, this is the thing. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers game is the perfect game for the Saints to turn it up because it's the fourth game of the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that's when a lot of stuff start twisting and turning for you. A lot of familiarity and you get more comfortability in the scheme. You start seeing things that they like. You needed a spark. You know, you needed a spark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or something that can galvanize and unite the team. You got that with that humiliating loss to the Green Bay Packers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're at home in a dome against the Buccaneers, which is a team that, you know, they lost their own short week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lost to Philadelphia on Monday and they're on a short week. They're banged up. You got them coming in here. Baker Mayfield struggled there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he'll be in this, this team presents a very good opportunity for you to provide a knockout punch on a full.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After having a humiliating game, you didn't respine, respond with a blowout game. The best game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the year showing off your weapons, showing everything off and the saints dominate. They went by at least two touchdowns in the game before they hit the road against the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New England Patriots and the Houston Texans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the, that last game was the spark you would hope. So we'll see how they respond.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To this loss with Green Bay against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It'll be an early testament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of how, uh, what this team is made of. So, let's finish with this, uh, interview. I might as well go ahead and finish up the whole thing, man. We got a few minutes left. He gon' make it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, that's Mickey Mann on an interview with Mike Hall, some WWL shout out to them for that, uh, good interview.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Mickey was sharing some game man and dropping some game about the team and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the loss and of course, spanning ahead, looking at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers said he was doing a little scout word on the bucks for the Monday night matchup and we were doing the same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know ultimately the Sinks would face off against Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We had an opportunity on that Monday night game to see what the Eagles did against them and the Eagles were able to run the ball very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They demoralized the defense, the offense couldn't withstand. Mike Evans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he was dropping the ball early on. He had no chemistry with Baker Mayfield. And of course, reports coming out that Tampa Bay's looking to move beyond Mike Evans. So, uh, the Saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I've said, number said again, I think the Saints, this is a good telltale sign for the Saints. This game, uh, is a good parameter of where we could be. You play with pride, you play with intensity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you play with focus and determination, and you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll have the black and gold, uh, he'll be in the dome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had a black and gold faithful cheering you on and this should be a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least a two touchdown win on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I know we always seem to play these guys close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not disparaging them, but after what happened with the saints, they should come out with focus and clarity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And make things happen every week. You know, the first three weeks, it just seemed like the saints just couldn't get on the same page with the rushing attack, which is stuff we know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the Saints could do, uh, historically speaking, just in the near future. They're always known as a solid running team. Not so much this year as the offense and it's, it's just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Concerning because though we talk about the offensive line, but if you break down the film and look at it, they are losing individual matchups all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and it's not like a solid unit, like they'll come out and they'll each dominate each one of their individual matchups and that'll open up things for the running attack happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One guy will win his matchup, the guy next to him will lose his matchup. The two left guards will win, the center loses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and it's like a, it's a hot potch. Like you'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The left guard, left tackle, hand lay business, and then the right guard loses his matchup. The right tackle blows up, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, you know, he loses his matchup. So it's just like, you know, we have to, and you know, like with most lines with struggle, they'll even have a struggle on the left side or the right side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they will run it to the power side, the more dominating side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until you know, things iron out, but which side is that? Both sides are shaky and creaky. So at some point, and this is the obvious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thing and we just show and I just showed you guys the statistics through three weeks showing you that the Saints offense is not really, you know, not really hitting on anything. Let me get them stats back on the screen because they make a great point. If you look at it, here's the offense right over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Saints offense total yards. 315, that's good for 20th in the NFL. Passing is 15th with 221.315. That's middle of the pack in the NFL. Your passing attack is middle of the pack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your rushing attack is 21st in the NFL, of what, 32 teams?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You average an 18 points a game. That's good for 25th in the NFL. And you have three turnovers on offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's all of those numbers. Look at those ranking numbers, family. Look at this. All this is ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then look and contrast that base based on your defense, defense total yards nine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Passing the secondary allowing 188.3 good for 8th in the AFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stopping you at 99.7, running the ball good for 10th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Points allowed on less than 17 points a game good for sixth in the NFL and they took the ball away five times as good for 12th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can see exactly what the problem is statistically as well as looking at them with the eyeball tests. This must change, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got to carry their own damn water. It's enough is enough, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The defense been carrying the Saints team around on its backs for the last couple of years and enough is enough. A lot of resources have been sent to the side or to that side of the ball and need to step up. And I know Derek Carr might not be with us for the, I know he won't be here for this game and possibly the next game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we have a guy that knows the offense better than Derek Carr named James Winston. He's been here for three years and James Winston has to make that happen. He has to be him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Carmichael and the offensive brass have to work together to galvanize this offense and move it forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a big part of helping out the quarterbacks so we don't over rely on the quarterbacks is the running attack. We have to run the ball better than what you see on the statistic. We average in running the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 93.3 yards a game, which is good for 21st in the NFL. That has to change. That's, that's got to change, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw anyway, with that being said, fam, we're going to get ready to get on out. I'm going to let y'all go ahead and get y'all some rest. Shout out to you. Shout out to my brother Slim. They keep showing. Yes. Yeah, bro. I got it on tap, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that's a part of the game, bro. Uh, Molly Moss says, Q, I don't trust that old line against the Bucks. Bro, uh, Green Bay and we, and shout out to Mike Wally, who did the preview stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the, for the Saints and the Packers matchup, he spoke about the eighth, the eight first round draft picks that the Steelers had, but still in all the Steelers, you know, he spoke, he spoke about, you know, the youth being an issue, but I was constantly warning people that Green Bay has a very good coach and they have some talented players. They're just young. They were missing a lot of key people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would probably would have hurt you bad. Aaron Jones is a quality back. I think the Saints would be able to do something with him. Christian Watson, that big, big wide receiver they got, big physical wide receiver. You imagine him and Romeo Dubs playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Off of each other, that would have been ridiculous. And they had two of their best offensive linemen that were missing. The Sinks had one sack in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was showing how clean the pocket was in many cases of joy and love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the point where pressure didn't even affect them, even if they were, if they even were to start getting into them, uh, to getting at them later in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was, he already had a rhythm with his wide receivers. He was making rhythm throws out there, getting the ball up the field. And when you seen that happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Jordan Love, except when I'm saying the defensive line, I knew Alonti had a sack. They sent Alonti till, and then they finally got one sack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm talking about Cam, I'm talking about Carl, I'm talking about the rest of those guys. They didn't register one sack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, that can't happen. Now we got a physical Tampa Bay defense that'll be coming at you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and that's the best part of the team. Now we'll see where some of these guys are because some of their best players are banged up. But still in all, regardless of who plays for Tampa Bay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Saints must represent and they got to get the dub, bottom line. Alright?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, shout out to Barbara. Good to see you in here, Queen. Iceman says, I don't expect nothing more than 19 points from this offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 19, the average is 17.7 or whatever the hell it is, man. That's just, that's so many resources for 17 points a game. It's just so disheartening. All right, Ramsey, shout out to you, man. I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all requesting that I might as well go ahead and play it, right? Let me see if I hit the right button on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we gotta do it, man. We got, they gotta represent, man. Duke says the Eagles ran the ball all over the Bucs defense. We need to commit to run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eagles gave us the blueprint to Sunday's game in the dome. Exactly, Duke. Thank you, man. Appreciate you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brother Eric says, I'm rolling to Colorado Springs. Don't get any rest until I get there in about four hours. Be careful on that road, Brother Eric.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Barbara says, but do you see cars 3 and out after the field goal? Did you see her? Okay, she talked to the Iceman. Alright, there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, so with that being said, let me get out on that. Man, I appreciate y'all for tuning in for this episode of the Cold War. Man, we'll be back Thursday. Remember tomorrow is who dat nation united, my dog Randolph.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the, who that, the keeping it real, who that podcast and coach rock they'll be representing.
