[Assistant] But it made a lot more sense to treat these as graphics objects, by pre-making images for each of these that I could just copy over, complete with pre-written text and instructions, and a sound effect to flesh these screens out with. With enough time and effort, I'm sure I could have really abused this pre-made graphics aspect of the competition, especially if I made a game like Myst where it's all about the graphics and exploration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think my project was quite sensible with what was premade and what wasn't. It didn't take the piss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I opted instead for randomly placed trees, enemies and houses, and a map that was large enough to make it challenging for you to find them all. But not too big that it gets frustrating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I made it so that the enemies spawned slightly faster than you could kill them, and that made it quite a frantic but fun little shooter game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the back of my mind, there are potential problems. What if trees spawn inside a house? What if a house spawns on your player? And so on. Again, you have to weigh up the chances of this happening and act accordingly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there wasn't such a fierce time restriction, then of course I'd have devised an elegant solution to this. But as it was, I deleted trees that spawned on stuff, and assumed that if a house spawned on a player then it wouldn't cause a problem, and hoped for the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasted a lot of time here. I was looking for the close button to close the graphics file I was borrowing from, but for some reason I couldn't see it. I guess cos I was panicking cos I was under time constraints. I can obviously see it now. But this was one of those bits where I wasted a lot of time in a way that will confuse anybody watching because it isn't apparent what I'm trying to do, nor exactly why I need to do it. Because I don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At around the 15 minute mark I had a working game. I briefly tested it to ensure that it all worked roughly as intended, then set to work making extra levels for it, because I thought I was fast enough to be able to add them and that this would be the feature that would make the judges wonder how the hell I managed to cram all this into half an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Different weapons, different levels, different challenges. It seems a shame to make a game engine than not to add this sort of variety to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I made the second level feature a shotgun, which fired multiple bullets at once but took longer to reload. I also upped the speed of the snowmen and the rate at which they spawned at, meaning that you had to kill several of them with one shot if you wanted to stand a chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also because blocking snowmen behind these trees is a valid gameplay feature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for the final level, I increased the number of houses Santa has to visit to 20, dropped the tree cover and gave you a fast-firing machine gun. I also made snowman run even faster. None of this stuff was tested beforehand. I just had to guess the correct values and I think it worked, because it's definitely the fastest and most difficult level of the lot. But it still doesn't feel unfair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might have been a half-hour game-making competition but only half of that was spent coding it. The other half was spent playing, testing and fixing. It worked well for the snowmen to have large hitboxes so that they got stuck on stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for Santa to have a tiny hitbox so that he isn't killed unless snowmen are literally right inside him. I describe this choice as being forgiving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I soon discovered that having trees and houses block your bullets was infuriating. It was much better for the snowmen to still be blocked by those elements, but for it to work in your favour by you still being able to shoot through them. And I felt it improved the gameplay immensely to give the player this advantage. I caught a few bugs, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a trade-off. It fixes this game-breaking bug and others like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But makes his movement feel slightly buggier the rest of the time. Again, a more elegant solution could have been found had there been more time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't see the need to cut this game-making competition too finely, so I finished and compiled the .exe file at the 28 minute mark. And there it is. A half hour game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I notice a few bugs still remain. It says level 2 when it should say level 3. And Santa does have a running animation, but I forgot to feature it so he just slides about the level instead. This is the sort of detail that I'm rubbish at spotting because it doesn't affect gameplay in the slightest. And even when I do spot it when testing the game,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the time I've finished playing it, I've forgotten about it and typically have something more important on my mind that needs fixing instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or it takes so long to master the gameplay that most people won't bother with it. So yea, I finished and then I submitted the game and the video of me making it, and a few days later, Clickteam themselves emailed me, asking for the source recording.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are only 2 reasons why they would have done this. Either they couldn't figure out how to rip the video off Youtube directly, or because they thought I was cheating. And I have to admit, I am pretty damn fast, so I'll just assume it's that because it helps inflate my already bulbous ego.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took part in this competition because it felt like a great opportunity to spend a couple of hours making games. It challenged me to do something I've never done before, and I felt the strict time limit would have limited the quality of the games enough that my silly little idea might still stand a chance. But I also made it because it gives me something to look forward to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until the results are announced in January, I can sit back knowing I've got something to look forward to. And that alone justifies the time I've invested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we found was that there were far too many uses of force that were excessive, they weren't appropriately documented, and then they certainly weren't investigated well at the end of the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a result of the many, many, many complaints that we saw over a six year period, there was only one complaint of unjustified use of force that was sustained by the police department.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so one of the things we're going to do now is retrain the police entirely. Getting training on force, getting training on, on stops and arrests, having the police department in Newark think differently about how it does its job and how it relates to the people that it serves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out, first of all, first and foremost before we get to this, shout out to that young brother, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was supposed to be the dude at Alabama. The guy came in, Tua came in, took his position. He took his lumps. He went to Oklahoma, got better, got drafted in the second round. People wanted to get rid of him. And I watched this show called, uh, what did I do with my first million?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This dude is so responsible. He's like, yo, I got a little $20,000 car. I got my sister like a $20,000 car. I put the rest half of the money in the bank and I went and put the down payment on my parents house. I didn't even buy the house. I just made payments on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so now for him to have $179 million for generational money like that coming. And deserve to. We've all seen how hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't agree, uh, because it's not, Jalen Hurts is not a top five guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was last year. Well, you gotta think about it. Jalen Hurts is a guy who runs and throws the ball. The guys that get the big bags of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or the, the guys who don't get hurt, who they don't run a lot, they, they throw the ball from the pocket, and, and you gotta think about it. Those guys are cool, but if Joe Burrows say I want a guaranteed contract, he gonna get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think Burrow will ask for it because he's going to have prohibitive measures. He could if he wanted, you're right. Like he's not going to do it because he's looking around like, well I got receivers to pay for it. I got Chase and I want to keep T. Higgins and I want... So he would not do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, but here's the thing, if Lamar Jackson wanted a fully guaranteed contract. Which he does. So if he does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've always said it Lamar, go in, go in and tell him I want 3 years, 175 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but see, if you just want the, if you want the guaranteed dollars where every cent is taken care of, if you don't say three for 175, just go up a little more, just say give me four for 200 guaranteed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No clue what he was doing. I look at it like this. I always say I'm gonna go to watch the other games. I watched the other games and I watched last night. I watched the Phoenix Suns versus the Clippers, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Kawhi Leonard comes in and reminds everybody why he's a Kawhi Leonard. And the others get involved. The Zoo Box of the world. You got Russell Rustbook prayed well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, Powell came off the bench. Eric Gordon was hitting three after three. And I'm watching these other games, and it's, it's a different level. These guys, the bench guys are coming in locked and loaded. They run offense and run sets and plays. They don't just come down every play and run pick and roll and let Donovan Mitchell figure out what he's gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Donovan Mitchell was a great player, and nobody really is LeBron, but I mean, he was the only person that showed any fire, any resolve, and the most disappointing thing of all is I really think our two bigs got pumped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Julius Randall looked like he intimidated them. The two guys came off the bench intimidating them. And for me, if they don't win this game, it's a wrap. Like, and I agree with you Bull, all of these guys, here's what we need to learn in Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We make the most excuses in the world. It's almost, it's almost disgusting to talk about games with fans now because they rationalize Rubio won't be as bad. Listen, he scored zero points. People telling me Dean Wade, Dean Wade is a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dean Waite was out there for cardio. He might as well, he might as well have been on a treadmill or a bike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a lot of people don't say, well, well, what is the coach going to do? He doesn't shoot the basketball, but the coach knows who can and won't shoot the basketball. So your coach can't be putting Dean Wade in the game. Like he's just like, and he's the first guy off the bench.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like, Dean Wade ain't been in a rotation a whole second half of the season. That's the guy you bring out? And if you, at least, if, if, if a coral can't shoot, where is Stevens? Where is Stevens? I could at least put him on Brunson. Or Danny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna be foaming at the mouth, and just because, I call myself jokingly the duke of knee jerk. Just because you sit at home and say, I'm not worried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't mean you know what the hell you talking about. No, not at all. When you go to the doctor and he tell you you got a terminal illness, it don't matter if you want to believe or not what you got. Like you gonna sit at the home and I take no medicine? Y'all cats kill me with this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That bench is not gonna get it done over at Olin Tangee River Road Basketball Community Center playing with McNuggets and his people. It's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, hey man, I've been, I don't know what it is. I can't tell you what it is, but this is a bad thing. If the hardest team that I've ever seen in the history of Cleveland sports, why I've been here is a baseball team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the most intimidating team in the 95. You got a problem because I watched these guys in here. We said all year, you know, people want to, oh, these are, I love the chemistry. I love how these guys love each other. They look like they're having so much fun. I'm going to tell y'all something right now. 90% of y'all y'all get mad if you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you ain't never played nothing, you don't understand that people that play like that will never win at the highest level. Because somebody, not even Julius Randall, you think Julius Randall is bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait till you get to see assassins like Chris Paul or guys that don't care nothing about you. You can't be nice and think that you're going to run around here in regular season and playoffs come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a different game. And Jared Allen, you look like you saw a whole different li-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's my problem, here's my problem Mcnuggets. My problem is all year when it came to JB Bickerstaff and how he talked about his team, right? He would always make excuses, well these guys are younger, we're just trying to figure it out. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Whatever the case is. Kumbaya. Whatever. Guess what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could have done something that would have, would have signaled out to your team. He could have came into the press conference and said, look, we're young, we don't, you know, we're young, we're inexperienced, but we got bullied out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people need to look in the mirror and figure out are they gonna be men or how they gonna handle this because New York came in here and kicked our ass and this is what it is. Now when you say that publicly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a man, you have to go back and look at your people like, we not bout to do that again. That's, if we gonna lose and we lose straight up, fine. But we are not losing, getting bullied by people. And really, that's, it comes down to the, who's gonna hit, you at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got the home quarter behind him. Give him something to cheer about. And Donovan Mitchell, if JB ain't gonna do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need you to do something. Where the hell are you at?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to be truthful, you can see the difference, you can see the difference between, you can see the difference between Thibodeaux and JB by just this, from the tip, even when you said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tibbs was on the referee from the start. Even the plays they gave them, even the whistles he got, he's on them like, you should have called that earlier. Get your man together over here. Do you see that down there? The whole time he's working the guy. And I'm looking at JB, he's sitting there like this at half court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could go back and look at a guy. We talk about Lebron all the time. Look at Mike Brown. He was here two years. He was two stints. Long stints. Two stints. One was a little short. He's now in Sacramento. Now, Mike Brown was always known for great defense. Offense was horrible. We were like, we don't know. He now is in Sacramento and they have the most efficient offense in the league. What'd they score? 126?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] McNuggets, do you remember, McNuggets, do you remember in practice where they used to put the ball in the middle of the floor and you got five guys around? Go get it. And you're face to face with the other guy playing defense and there's five guys on defense?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, so it's about, it's about leadership, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So sometimes, this is why, you know, people think that I'm super negative on people. It boils down to leadership to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like when you are a coach, you are a motivator, you are a teacher, you are a facilitator, and sometimes what you don't understand is, I watch Coach Prime right now. Coach Prime is going through spring practice, and he's a new coach, he was one in ten, and every time he come in there, it just seemed like he on one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He saying, look, your grades suck you out of here. I'm not getting effort. I'm sending people off the field now. You, like, he's just over the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sometimes as a player, when you're in it, you don't understand why, why players are like that or why coaches are like that. Is he setting a culture? He's setting a tone. And so when your coach is running around pissed off all the time, you like, man, I'm tired of getting yelled at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm tired. Everything I do ain't right. But guess what? He's even mentally preparing you. He's trying to tell you if you think I'm tough, wait till you get out in New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the crowd is going crazy, and the refs ain't giving you calls, they being overly physical with you, and your shots ain't falling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you gonna do? Are y'all gonna turn around and fold? Or are you gonna come together and look at each other and be like, nah, we, we put too much, we put too much work in for this and you know what we had to go through to get here. So I just think sometimes you're not preparing the people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you got a young team, a coach has to be hands on. You have to be hands on. If you got a veteran team like LeBron, like when they won, they'll figure it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like because there was no, like when you look in another man's eyes and you see he ain't got it, he saw early, my bigs is not converting underneath. So he just took the ring. He said, I can't do it. Cause this game only happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'ma tell y'all this though, but remember what I said, I wasn't drinking to nobody. People get hurt, bro. I said, listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't feel that good about it. No, I don't, I don't feel very good about it. Now listen, can they win this series? I had them winning in seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still think that they'll probably win to, what, tomorrow?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if they lose tomorrow, they get swept. No, no, no, I don't. I agree. They lose tomorrow. It's going to be a quick one. I do not. I think they're going to win tomorrow. I do not have them. I do not have them winning a series and it's just, and it ain't no knee-jerk reaction. It's just for me watching what it is. So you aren't changing your pick? Heck yeah. Like I don't, I don't like the energy level. I don't like the toughness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And unless somebody wakes up and feels like they're like, they got hard all of a sudden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they may hit more shots, but at the end of the day, I don't, I don't see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, I was, I was so impressed. I watched the Clippers. And the Clippers...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was making plays where it was like, oh that's, okay that's just Hall of Fame pedigree. We laugh all the time here and we quick to call people garbage, wash, terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you watch them play, I'm like, wow, that was a great hustle play. That was a great defensive play. Man, that was a nice pass. These is Hall of Fame type plays where guys is not shook in the least.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a different sport. It is. It's a different game altogether. I'll give it to Bull and I've changed my perspective forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That regular season stuff, the last two months, is a bunch of BS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My goodness. He is water stud. Unbelievable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not th- without what I saw, I saw, I lo- had the Clippers look good, the- the- the- even the Suns look great, the Kings, and guess what? The Lakers. The Lakers. Yeaah. And Golden State, like I wouldn't be surprised- At Denver, although


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, you telling me Yannis has to play PEAK?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well here's the thing. If, if Giannis is not 100% in a heat win that game, now he gonna have to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. If I'm a first baseman and I just stand in the middle of first base.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't do that. That's runners interference. And he's running right through you. If you stand there as a first baseman, that's obvious. I don't understand why you would not think the same thing as a catcher. You don't have the ball. You can't just block the plate. And that's the right call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He come in and now he's like, alright, where do I get my takes off? How do I move? They skipping over me. Bull cuss me out. Does he like me? We try to tell him it's just bull. Listen, he having meetings with McNuggets afterwards. It's just a simple fact that like, he know he got a bag of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He there, and he trying to prove himself like, yo, I'm worth it. Like, I'm just trying to fit in. The best do- It's a lot of pressure. You just want, you just want to hit the ball well. You just want to feel like, hey guys, see, I ain't trying to do- Listen, I'm part of the team, I'm contributing, right? And then, you know, Tito, listen bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't it seem like, don't it seem like, I just for me, like we're desensitized to like tragedies like that. Like you said it's 10 years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I, and then, and then you, when you put, when you throw COVID in there, and COVID just like, I just had to sit back and just was like, wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just noticed that like six of my friends died during COVID. Like wow. Like I didn't even, it didn't recollect. A lot of people snapped during COVID.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During, there was school shootings during it, then it was the lockdown, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then like the George Floyd thing happened during the lockdown. So it was like, you just was sitting there and then you couldn't even, like just the fact that you literally could not be anywhere near anybody. You were in isolation for months. I just, this is crazy. Crazy, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the difference for people that don't know out there what fantasy baseball is? A lot of people, I think everybody plays fantasy, like football. It's a much bigger commitment. Yeah, fantasy baseball is very tough. Just give me a couple pillars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thought process behind it, or the strategy behind it, like, we know who you draft, like, running backs who get pointed. The point systems, how does it work, who do you draft?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, you know, they're looking around, they're like, okay, now we can figure out what to do with Stafford. Right, right. They're trying to fix it back. They're gonna have a period here though, in the next couple years, where they are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, oh yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, definitely. They might need to look at Cooper Cup too. I mean, this is it. Well, he's an asset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, this is why, this is why I'm a little concerned because, you know how you go to a restaurant and you eat something and you're like, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you end up going to a restaurant, spending that money, and then going back home to eat the same stuff you was running away from. I didn't want to eat that to start with. That's why we went out to eat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the, with free agency, I know they got some stuff, but it's just still something in me that says there's something missing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, I can't, I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the fact that I know they got draft picks, but they've drafted so poorly in certain positions that I have no. You're not putting stock in that. Yeaah, I have no, I have no expectations that those picks that he brings in are going to amount to anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think about it, if he would draft better, he would be almost in the top like 12. Cause you think about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mark Cooper, brilliant deal. That turned out to be a great deal. He signed Ethan Poachers. The fact that you went out and grabbed a guy, and he turned out to be a top five sinner, guess what? You signed him back. You look at, I'll give him credit for Donovan Peebles Jones, he's a second round guy or whatever, so we'll give him that credit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big time, your linebacker picks. Not good. So I don't, I don't know. It's just he, he's appropriately placed. But here's the thing. Now, Deshaun Watson is good. He already, he automatically going to be in the top 10 next year. Well, I think, I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you because we had somebody on and me and Bull were talking to him and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, I'm tired of people just saying playing better. I said, it's time to put some numbers on him. I need to know what, what. He's got to be way better. When I say, when I say way better, I mean like how many yards, how many touchdowns, how many rush yards and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You said something earlier, you was like, hey, if they ain't winning the Super Bowl, it ain't worth it. Right? So I'm gonna ask you, what numbers do you think he would have to put up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you throw for two touchdowns a game, that's only, that's 30 right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you asked Deshaun, think about this, if you asked Deshaun Watson when he left, Houston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you would have said, name the top two quarterbacks in the league, most people would have tried to say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Deshaun Watson was right underneath Patrick Mahomes. I never had him that high. Heat!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a dude with, cause remember, they gave him a contract. It wasn't, it wasn't actually in the argument at that time. But he was putting up, the numbers he put up, they were saying he was at least in the top three. I had him top five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I mean, guys, there's some great quarterbacks out there. So, so it's not, it's not out of the realm of possibility to say, we expect that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody said this and they said, somebody said that they spoke to somebody closely with the Browns and they said, last year we say Nick Chubb is getting 18 carries. Somebody said that number looks more like 15 this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hate it, I just, I'm a, and I'm a Brown fan. I hate, I just hate it to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, it was just, it was, it was like, yeaah, it's my team, yeaah, they're playing okay, maybe they went and won some games, but it just was, to me, I was just like, this is not, because you knew at the top of the food chain, you can't win doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know he is, that's why I don't want to kill him too much. Y'all said something about people, it kind of gets in your head when you talk about pictures and sometimes even with hitters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, could it be a thing where, hey, you, he's been a good catcher, he's been good behind the plate, and then all of a sudden, one year, you got a couple pass balls, and then

[Assistant] What made, what made you choose the USFL over like the XFL, right? Cause I've been asking people like, yo, like there's two leagues, there's two competing interests and obviously both of them want the best players. What made you go with the USFL?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, hold on. Hey, hey, hey, I'm not, listen, when I'm not, when I'm not here and I'm out, I'm calling it right now. I only want this brother on. I want, it's affirmative action too. He's gonna be on, gonna put no other white person here.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went home happy man, on my way home, I seen somebody who recognized me from the show, he stopped me. Look at that. He said I got these built bars, he wanted to give me one even though I had a whole bunch in my trunk already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all, everybody in Cleveland thinks I'm Josh Grylls. I guess because I'm black and I got locks. Right. That's the only preference they can come up with. But he told me he used promo code LOCKDOWN15 at built.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many built bars do, uh, Jared Allen and Evan Mobley need to eat to kind of step their offensive game up? Cause we're going to need that.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, as of right now, man, the Guardians are four and six in the last 10. Uh, first pitch today is at 110. Kyle Quantrill is on the mound for the Guardians. And I think his name, what is it? Trenble?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about the Tigers? Am I saying that right? Hold on. Who is pitching?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quan Cointreau for the, uh, Cal Cointreau, yeaah. Who's pitching for the Tigers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Bull, the Cleveland Browns are back in town, voluntary workout started, a couple players spoke to the medias, a lot of the guys were in attendance at Rock & Mortgage Fieldhouse to support the Cavs yesterday, and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also every time we do our Cleveland Browns talk, our Browns talk is brought to you by Lincoln Electric, who are now hiring right now for great jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, it's 20 year old rappers who are private jets. He got a private jet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got Miles and, uh, Deshaun Watson. I had a qu-question for Typhus. We're going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a question for you. You were talking about G knew playing in the slot. But I remember hearing you say on several different occasions that you felt like Denzel Ward was better suited to be the, uh, the slot corner. Do you still feel that way?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm curious about the Watson comment. He's talking about again, shorts and, and people being motivated to come in and building a place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got Deshaun. Alright, the last one is on Deshaun and I believe this quote is about the critics, the haters, the people who always have something to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, like that right there is called talking that talk and standing on it. I agree with everything Bull just said. Uhm, we have a lot of talks, G. I'm like you, Bull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People got a right to feel how they want to feel about people, but I didn't grow up idolizing athletes and entertainers. And it's hard for me to say I don't like people that I really don't personally know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to each his own. If that make y'all sleep good at night, go ahead, do what y'all do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's funny because, you know, we, I'ma let the fans inside of what we go through upstairs in the production room pre-show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We get the emails from the Browns about the guys who are going to speak. And me, McNuggets and Anthony said to each other yesterday,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're pretty sure Deshaun Watson is going to speak. And just the fact that he's speaking at a voluntary workout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] versus not being able to speak at all last year. It just shows a sense of, of normalism. Like it's normal for your star quarterback to speak during situations like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] NASCAR team of Northeast Ohio and the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna go over to, uh, Riverview Court. Uhm, for the past few months, there has been a spike in violent crimes, specifically shootings. Uh, we had a few murders within the complex, so we can start gathering up intelligence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I agree, right? What's in the report? No. It shows that, you know, we were violating people's rights. You know, and granted,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the biggest challenge. Getting officers to, to, to buy in to, there's a new way of policing. The policing has evolved. That's the hardest part. And that's what anyone that's been stuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing one thing one way for 20 years. Say hello.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is how it should be. We've done it wrong. Now we can get it right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna go up here. They had a murder yesterday of a female, early 40s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was, uh, shot in the head. She just had her earphones on. She didn't even, uh, see it coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at the end of the day, it could be our moms, our sisters. It could be any of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, one reason I'm glad that happened because, you know, that goes to show you how they don't want you, there's those that don't want you in the community, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's those who think it's uncool to speak to the cops, but it's cool to have shrines like this up and down a block. You know, this to them is cool. Okay? And, you know, how do we change that mentality?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I usually make it a point to go to those places, though. We have the same philosophy! Buuut, I have a tea time at, uh, whatever time tea times are supposed to be. What's that he left?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six. Seven. You had to arrest who? The Red Ranger. Eleven. Twelve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about some legislation to help ease the baby formula shortage? Again, yes, this is easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't. Okay, I won't. Wait, does that mean no? It means no. I just don't understand why- whoa. Are you okay? No. I know that look. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me too. Me too. Me too. This can't keep happening. At school. At the grocery store. At church. At a basketball game. Just walking around town. Please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Contact everyone you can. Demand change. Literally anything. And if you have the means, please donate to these families in Southern California. In Uvalde. In Buffalo. In Milwaukee. In Durham. Check on your friends. Tell the ones you love that you love them. We cannot do this alone. Don't let people feel like they are.

[Assistant] We had learned in our own government class that the NRA is one of the largest and most powerful lobbying forces and we decided that they couldn't just keep going the way they were going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through our unified message, we were able to combat them in ways that they had never been challenged before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had had a moment, we had had a chance to turn the tides, and we fundamentally did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like maybe, rain in New Mexico or floods in Montana that are shutting down Yellowstone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wisconsin tornadoes, Texas heat warnings are drying up a great salt lake. It's getting low! Killing a bunch of cows, causing a lot of droughts, or a Georgia based earthquake. There he is!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright guys, I got something here. So I just Googled, can you drink a gallon of milk in an hour? It says, is it possible? Yes, it's extremely difficult. Most people fail at it. In most cases, only professional eaters can reliably complete this challenge. This is from HowStuffWorks and health.howstuffworks.com. So take that. Thanks Google. Appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, lot to get to today. We're gonna do a Cavs-Nix draft, essentially ranking the top ten players between the two teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the Cavs get ready to play their first playoff series without LeBron in a very, very long time. Uh, it starts Saturday at 6pm. We have the play-in game starting today. So we'll get into all that. We'll get to the Guardians. I was looking ugly early, but, uh, they, they pull one out late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, so plenty to get to today, but we begin before, well, we'll begin with the Browns of the Second. Some news on Deshaun Watson and some news on Greg Newsom that just kinda started brewing in the last half hour. First, let's get to my bet, cause I crapped a bet yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Aditi Kikubwala will make her debut on my Bet Rivers podcast, The Bullpen with Adam the Bull. Tomorrow, uh, she'll be on the podcast. We look forward to that. The Bet, I lost yesterday. I had the Padres. They got, they ended up getting smoked by the Mets. I think it was 4-0 or whatever it was. Uh, but today's bet, here we go. Got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll take the Orioles minus a run and a half. They've got young pitcher Grayson Rodriguez making, uh, Grayson Rodriguez. That sounds wrong in my head. Grayson Rodriguez, right? Why is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, right. I don't know why it sounded wrong in my head, but it is actually his name. It's his second major league start. Uh, obviously the athletics are as awful as I thought they'd be. What are they now? Two and ten? Two and eight? Two and nine? Something like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice. They've been killed. They're two and eight. They're two and eight. And they won their first game, so they've lost eight of nine since then. Wow. Uh, alright, so Orioles will win by two or more runs today. Guys, let's get right to it. Some news brewing from the Browns. Number one, Deshaun Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's talk about Watson. Yeah, let's talk, uh, we'll get to Greg Newsom and what's kind of brewing with him, but, but first to Sean Watson, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's two, you know, we've kind of forgotten about all the off the field stuff because it's mostly been settled. But there are still two remaining civil cases. In terms of Deshaun Watson's ability to play, I believe they're a non-factor. I think they're all incorporated in his suspension that's already now behind him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's all lawyer tricks and nonsense. They're just, you know, they're just trying to get more money in their pockets. I don't know. Do we make anything of this? To me it's nothing with nothing. Brad, anything from you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would just assume though, at some point, if you're Watson, you just, like with the original settlements, you just move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And that doesn't necessarily mean, and we don't know, at this point, I'll be honest, I'm not paying attention to these two specific cases, as you can tell. I just, I want it to be behind and so we can just completely move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But ultimately, it is all about money, which is obvious because it's not a criminal case. It's a, it's a civil case. The only result here is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So ultimately, you would think they'd want to settle, but maybe, as you say, maybe this one particular case with this other...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If nothing else, Rusty Harden thought the original cases, or at least many of them, had some level of merit, or he wasn't able to disprove them because they agreed to settle. Uh, if this one is so ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I mean, that's fair. We don't know. Who knows what the hell happened. I think everybody here is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's be honest, I think most people here don't care at this point. I think everybody just kinda wants to move on. It's not the same type urgency as it was last year. No, because there's no suspension hangar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let me start the beginning part. Okay. Cause I can get there. So Brad Stainbrook is a young guy. I don't know Brad. Uh, he, he covers, he's been in the last year, I would say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Started to make a little bit of a name for himself covering the Browns and good for him. He's a young guy. Is he still in college?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this young guy already is trying to, you know, come up here. Trying to cut his teeth a little bit. And, I'll be honest, you know, like, if I don't know you, I've been covering the Browns here for 12 years. I didn't know who he was when he first started. I didn't really give him any credibility in the beginning because I didn't know who the hell he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then about a month ago, whatever it was, he actually had the story about the brown signing hearse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He broke that story. He was the first one that had it. So I put out a tweet there. I think you did too. You gave him a little props for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So good for him, he broke that story. It gave him at least some level of credibility in terms of covering the Browns. Well today, he tweeted this out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this was, uh, at 1027, which is 44 minutes ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since source, Brown's Greg Newsom would like to be traded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now he didn't say he's demanded a trade, but he said he'd like to be traded. And this was not, it was weird timing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a way, because they just announced, I think yesterday, that they, that Greg Newsom was hosting a charity softball game with the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even though there had been some rumblings in the past that Greg Newsom was unhappy in playing the slot corner role, I think we all thought it was behind us, so this seemed odd. Now, he did sign with Drew Rosenhouse, who's obviously a big time power agent. And when did he do that? Today. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, exactly. Welcome Greg Newsome, there's Drew Rosenhouse. That was right. So then 10 minutes later, Brad puts that out. Then Adam Schefter puts out this tweet. You got the Adam Schefter tweet here? The first one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So bring up the Adam Schefter tweet. About 10 minutes after Brad Stainbrook put, put that out, he said, um, uh, Schefter says amid speculation, amid speculation that his client Greg Newsom wants to be traded, agent Drew Rosenhouse met today in Cleveland with the team to discuss Newsom's future role there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. It's, it feels to me like, listen, I'm sure Brad is just coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt, I doubt he just made this up out of thin air. Yeaah. Okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably somebody told him that Greg Newsom would like to be traded. Now he probably should not have tweeted that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he didn't demand the trade. Right, right, right. And with the softball thing yesterday. And yea, you see him hire Drew Rosenhouse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I could understand the connection there. Brad probably would have been better off not tweeting that because yes, maybe he does want to be traded, but he's not, if he's not asking for a trade, it's not really a story. And Brad, let me tell you, let me give you a quick example. Sorry to cut you off, but there was a player. I'm not going to say it was. I've mentioned this story a couple of times, but I don't know if I've said it here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll never admit who the player was, but there was a player who played for the then Indians for a long time here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and I met him in spring training a couple of years in a row and we were talking off the air and he goes, man, I hate it in Cleveland. He wanted to be out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He never said it publicly. He never demanded a trade. He played here for a while. He was a popular player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's different. I don't think that's a perfect example, but I think Brad probably dropped the ball here. Not you, Brad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Potential fight. So it's not like they can't even negotiate an extension right now. So obviously there's some reason. So I don't think Brad is completely wrong here. Greg Newsom we know in the past has not been completely happy and he hired Drew Rosenhouse. He just jumped out the window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he, as you said, like with the Ravens, we would talk about this. If Lamar Jackson plays, we'll probably predict him to win what? Eight games, maybe nine, maybe even ten. Without him, we're picking him to win four or five or six. The Browns win, Greg Newsom's a nice player. We all like him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. He made a mistake there, no doubt you're right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, G, as you said, there's levels to this thing. Lamar Jackson's on this level. Lamar Jackson, pretty much, can say whatever the hell he wants. And eventually, like, the Ravens...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the very least, he could take the franchise tag. Like, people want Lamar Jackson, he's a superstar, he's won an MVP. Yeaah, he's had some injury problems, the play hasn't been quite as good, but he's still up here, okay? Greg Newsom, you're basically just a guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we're all, you want when you're a player at whatever level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want your, you want your team to have success, but you want to have individual success. You want to make money. I get it. And he, if he, and it's an interesting thought that he's like, well, I better not play too well at, at slot. Cause then I'm going to stuck there for the rest of my career. I'm not going to make as much money. However, I think he's in a point in his career where if he doesn't play well enough, he's guaranteed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I meet guys I really trust, I may tell them some things off the record, but like, there's a lot of things we learn that we can't say, and Brad will learn that, good for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could write a book on things I've heard about Johnny Manziel. Alright, Mikey, go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think G, I think it was you that said this recently, it's like, it's the first time going into the playoffs in a very long time, where,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not championship or bust, right? With LeBron, even when he was young, it felt like if you don't win, it's a disappointment. Uh, I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we get to the draft, I don't know, and I feel like if they win this series, everything else is gravy to me. I don't know, do you guys agree with that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are any of us gonna be stunned if the Knicks win this series?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and won't they go into, I mean, there's just so much you can do. And I, we'll get to the draft in a second, but if I'm the Knicks, and I'm, again, this is easier said than done, but if I'm timid as, oh, all week, I'm saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For sure. They're gonna have to win a game in New York. Alright guys, so let's look at the two teams if we were combining


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we were combining the Knicks and Cavs to make one roster, we're going to do a draft of the top ten players. Alright, we'll go, in which order do you want to do it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so we go 1, 2, 3, then 4, 5, 6, then 7, 8, 9, and then you guys will pick the 10th player. Okay, Brad, start us off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that was pretty easy. I don't think there's any debate on that. Very easy. Alright, now for the second spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, you know, there's an argument between


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I'm gonna have to go with Julius Randall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. I thought about Mobley because I want to get my best defensive player, but I'm going with, I'm going with Randall in the two spots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, right. I mean, but you, we could say it about all these guys outside of Donovan, really. Hey man, I, yeah, what, yeah. Where you going with the three? You got three and four, Gene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean I think all four of those guys right now are better than Mobley. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mowgli's certainly better defensively than any of those guys. Yes. But in terms of his offensive game, you know, I was going to say those guys are great passers. But for a big guy, he's a pretty good passer too, actually, Mowgli.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think Mobley is the obvious choice at five. He's the next guy on that second level, I think. So I'm going to go with Mobley at five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I personally would put both Barrett and Allen over Laverte. Go ahead Mikey, what do you got?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, at eight, to me it's easy. I'm going with R.J. Barrett at eight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's much better than anybody else still left on the board. So, pretty simple. I dunno. Anybody have a problem with that? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Josh Hart goes in at nine. So you guys taking quickly at the end?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you this. If, if, if Brad had not taken Laverte and those other four guys had gone five through nine, would you have taken Laverte ten or would you have taken somebody else?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And listen, he shouldn't have called his teammate that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was worse than Dre Maas? No, it's not. I don't understand. It's not a big deal. He shouldn't have. I don't know why the Timberwolves suspended him, but he's had a bad year on a real quick. We got Pete Prisco 10 seconds or less Atlanta Miami tonight. He favored by four and a half. What you got in that game? I got Miami.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up guys, how are you? Good Pete, thanks for joining us, we appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fair enough. I always think of Florida as not having great food, but, uh, I guess I'm wrong about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we've already seen that the Watson contract, and we're happy if it screws up the Ravens to, you know, the Watson contract. We'll see if it's gonna screw up the Browns. Obviously last year was a disaster because he was suspended and he played like crap. If he continues to play like crap, it's a total disaster for the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My assumption is that he'll play a lot better, that he'll be closer to the guy in Houston. But until we see it, who knows. But uhm, I think what'll be interesting is, you know, if they get done this offseason,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Joe Burrow contract, the Justin Herbert contract. Because if those guys, especially Burrow, who nobody can argue to be ahead of him except for Mahomes, if Burrow doesn't get everything guaranteed, then really nobody else has a case besides Mahomes going forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Carolina traded up to the top spot, uh, cause I was, so you were obviously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, absolutely. Now, I still have faith in him going forward, but I had, to be fair, yes to you. It was a good call. I had no doubts about him going into last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I thought he'd be rusty when he came back, but I didn't think it would be as bad as it was. And I have a little bit of doubt. I still think it's more likely than not that he gets back to being that quarterback in Houston, but certainly I can't feel 100% confident in that now. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sir, what did you think of their offseason in general, Pete? What do you think of how they did this offseason?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linebacker. Linebacker. To be linebacker is the area, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pete, let's wrap it up with the former Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield in Tampa Bay. I, I, you know, Baker to me, we got a lot, we still have a percentage of our fan base that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Baker won one playoff game, thinks he's the, the, you know, the next coming of Christ, I think. But, uh, but I think Baker's just a guy. I don't think he's going to make Tampa. He is definitely a wit, at best, a wins with, not a wins because quarterback, at best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, do you think he has success in Tampa or is this his last year as a starter and he becomes a career backup?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would actually even say that Baker at his best played better than Deshaun Watson played last year. However, Deshaun Watson in Houston to me is way better than Baker. If we get that guy, then it's huge. If we don't, the Browns are screwed for the next five years, basically. It's bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for the time, man. We appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome. Pete Prisco, CBS Sports. Good to chat with him. We got Jeremy Levine in the house. We'll talk about the big card collectible show this weekend that we're going to be a part of, but first let's send it to Mike and we're going to get some baseball talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I never want to get carried away about one win guys this early in the season. So I don't want to go that far, but I will say that like the beginning of the game. It looked bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Judge, uh, I can't even remember exactly what it was, but I know Stanton got the double, right? Four batters in, it's two-nothing Yankees, second and third, nobody out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so not only was it 2-0, but it's second and third, nobody out. And then Bieber basically gave up nothing the rest of the game. He gave up, they got out of the first, I think Gleyber Torres got a double in the second inning. One or two more batters reached, but he basically just, he was like, oh yeaah, I'm great, I forgot for a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a great, because you start off like that against the Yankees, you're thinking you're getting blown out. That was a great job by him, and then Karen Shack, who had to bail out Miles Straw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the eighth, right? Yea, yea, eighth inning. Two outs, nobody on for the Yankees. And who was it that hit it? I can't remember now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll look it up. I can't think of who hit it. But somebody in the Yankees hits a line drive to center field. It's obviously it's gonna, it's obvious it's gonna drop. Now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there's a run, if the run's gonna score, I don't, you know, there's certain circumstances where maybe you want to dive. With two out, nobody on, you let that ball drop and you hold the guy to the single. That's it. I'm sorry. This is my bad. It was not two out, nobody on. It was the lead off hitter in the inning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't remember who it was, but it was not too... That counts as fake hustle. Yeaah. If you die for a ball... And he had, it wasn't close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't close, but, and I was wrong about two outs. It was the leadoff batter. And so instead of a leadoff single, it's a one run game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It ends up being a triple. Nah. Now. It was Torres. With no outs. Oh, that's right. It was nobody. Torres led off the inning. Gets a triple. So you're thinking, first of all, Torres got good speed. Right. All you have to do is you get a decent fly ball. But Karen, check credit him because he's been not great so far this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Runner on third, nobody out, a one run lead, he got out of trouble, Classe was great in the ninth, and they took care of business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean, right now, Zach Plisak is your number three starter. That's crazy. That's not good. That's crazy. That is not good. I don't, I know a pitch...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm, I'm not comfortable with that situation. Now, it's temporary. Savalli hopefully won't miss that much time. They did trant. Now, something I gotta clarify for a lot of people who know this. So yesterday,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guardians transferred Tristan McKenzie to the 60-day injured list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That doesn't mean 60 days starting yesterday. It means 60 days starting the day he initially went on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 15-day IL. So he doesn't have to wait 60 days from now. It's another 45. Roughly. But we knew he was going to miss, but we didn't know for sure he was going to miss too much. Now, it's still a lot of time. Best case scenario, best case, he's pitching the first week in June. And my guess is we don't see him before at least the middle of June.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, especially with him. He's slight. He's young. They're not going to, we'll see him in the middle of June probably. So now you've got two months with no McKenzie already. Now Savalli who, you know, had 15 day disabled. He's fifth. He's out. He's missing three starts. So it's a little bit of a concern. We, I was already a little worried about the starting rotation, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They continue to play well. They're going to be relying very, very heavily on Bieber. He's got to pitch great every time out. He did yesterday to settle down against that, you know, Yankee lineup that's pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was, he pitched great in his first star for Columbus. I texted Zach Meisel yesterday. I was like, when I saw the Savali news, I said, they calling up Bybee. We're going to see Bybee pitch. He goes, man, you are obsessed with Bybee. I am too. What are you talking about? Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Zach said that he thinks the, uh, whoever they called up yesterday, I can't think of his name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I gotta look it up. Whoever they, the guy the guardians called up yesterday, um, that he may start, but he thinks there's a chance it'll be by me. He's only made one start above double A. It's kind of tough, but he's got nasty stuff. He had, he pitched real, I think he had seven strikeouts and five innings in his first start for Columbus. Didn't give up any runs, only four or five base runners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see, but, uh, overall the Guardians are playing well. Uh, they have moved, uh, Andre Cimenez up the lineup, which I think we all like to see. Josh Bell had another bad game. I, again, you gotta be patient. This is baseball. I get it. Everybody's getting antsy because that was a big


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the twins are pretty good. I picked them to finish second and make the wild card. But the guardians are still the best team. And they did what they do. The sacrifice flies. What, they have five stolen bases in the game last night? They run the bases. Go ahead, Mike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has more doubles than Austin Hedges had all of last year. Already!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's Death by a Thousand Cuts. And you bleed out in the middle of the street. Yes. All of a sudden, I'm like, I got the knife, I'm gonna kill you obviously, but then I'm dead. It's all of a sudden. And I'm dead. That's what it's like playing the Guardians. You're like, outside of Ramirez, you're looking at the rest of the lineup and say, eh, who are these guys? Single.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The power will come. Listen, we know the Guardians are not going to be a great home running team. We know that. We need them to get to the middle of the pack. I think they can. It's been a slow start with the power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're gonna need it, uh, but it's good to, you know, the batting average, in three days, they could be tenth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I do too, and, and, uh, by the way, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of the reason the Guardians haven't hit home runs. Seattle is, is not a, is a pitcher's park. Oakland, which is a dump, is a pitcher's park also. Now they don't have any pitching, but, uh, and Cleveland's been cold, so the ball hasn't really traveled that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. That's one of the great things about baseball is the field. Every field is different. Unlike basketball and hockey and football where the field is exactly the same. Which is strange. It's very strange.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, some of it, some of it is weather, right? Like, or, or in Colorado, the ball travels because of the light air. Well, go to Boston. Go to Wrigley Field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You still got a score to win. I'm using, I'm using small ball. Yeaah, but like, you look at Colorado for example, like they, you know, everybody thinks their fences are short because, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there's so many homeruns, although that number has changed. Yea, actually. They don't hit homeruns there like they used to, but they had deep fences, but the ball would just carry. So, I mean, you want a green monster all the way around the field, no homeruns, that's bad for business. Ay, I want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a very fun hobby. Yeaah. You know, so for some people it's big business obviously, but it's a fun hobby. I know when I was a kid, like baseball cards were it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you'll tell me if it's changed. When I was a kid, nobody cared about football cards. Nobody cared about, I didn't even know if there were basketball cards. Baseball cards were it. That way we traded them. We played games with them. We did everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is, so I know that, I don't know if this is still the case, there used to be a thing where, like, mistake cards were worth a lot with baseball, or you had the Billy Beane, uh, not Billy Beane, Billy Ripken had that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the play-by-play man of the Batavia Muck Dogs with misspelling of my last name. How much is that worth?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's talk about the panels and everything that's going on with that, because in addition to the cards, which obviously tons of people are coming out for that, a lot of people also want to come out to see all the sports people in town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think about 11. So who's on our panel? It's me, G.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Mikey and I think Jonathan Peterlin, right? Is going to be on our panel too. So, we're excited about that. Jeremy is your partner. Obviously, I know Jeremy. We worked together at the radio station. I know his dad very well. Uh, I've been thinking a lot about your dad lately. I mentioned him yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because my son and all his friends are into it. They're always trading. He's like, I got a schlick. I don't even know the language. It's the foreign language. You know the language.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't there a big, isn't there a big, my son was trying to explain this to me, that there's a, like there's a lot of, uh, uh, fraud on that market, right? You have to be careful with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So folks, listen to me folks, this is the event. If your kid is into collectible, baseball, football, basketball,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody's gonna be out there. A lot of hosts from the fan, a lot of hosts from ESPN 850. Zach Meisel's gonna be there, I know. We're gonna be there. It's gonna be a great event. We're excited to be part of it. Anything else that we haven't mentioned that you'd like to tell us about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, real quick, before you ask the question to Steve, are the, are we announcing the winners on Friday or are we just giving them away?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I haven't played in fact in my childhood of playing baseball. I still have a ton of baseball cards. My son and I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have some in a book that are taken care of nicely. Some good rookies and all that. But I would never sell them because they mean something to me. But I have a box of cards that I need to go through. My son and I started a project of organizing them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brad, I mentioned this yesterday, but I was curious your opinion on this because, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You weren't here yesterday, obviously. I went to see the movie Air. Have you heard about this? Yea, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, for those who don't know, it's the story of Jordan signing with Nike and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if you're planning on seeing it, but an interesting choice they made in the movie, uhm, was that Michael Jordan, nobody really played him in the movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he, he, the character that was Michael Jordan, you never saw his face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You only see the back of his head. It's really, the mom and dad are in there, and the mom, according to the movie, it was basically his mom that got him the deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what they said in the movie? Again, I don't know if this is true. So in the movie, they're creating the shoe, the Air Jordan, the first one. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first the design was like they wanted to have a lot of red in it, obviously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one of the guys there said in the NBA you can't have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has to be mostly white to shoot. That's what they said in the movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, they were awful. In the movie, when they would, again, this is the movie, so we don't know how true this is, but it seems like based on what you're saying, it's fairly accurate. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a scene where the guy in the, in, who actually, this, this, the real person actually died right before they started making the movie. But the guy who was the shoe designer for Nike, and by the way, in the movie they make it seem as if


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Jordan had not agreed with Nike, that basically Nike would have been out of the basketball. They had no traction to that. I think Moses Malone was their biggest guy at the time before Michael and obviously he wasn't making any kind of hit like Michael. But uhm, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he, when he was designing the shoe, he said to Sonny in the movie, he goes, do we want this to be comfortable or look great?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need the off-white color joints. Is there a cultural icon now? Or like to me, when I think of cultural icons in sports, I think of three guys. Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson, and Michael.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wear 15 too. Did they have to make, they weren't making 15s like commercially were they? Like did you have to make them


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think my last vlog was in March, and before that it was January, so I basically stopped doing vlogs this last year. I actually thought I would never ever do a video vlog anymore, because lack of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think that is so sad, because I love, I love making videos. Uhm, it doesn't matter if it's vlogs or if it's like a music video or you know, any video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thought that no, I don't have the time, so I can't continue with this. But you know what? The other night I was like, what the hell?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I doing? Why do I think that I don't have the time when I can choose? So I have just rearranged a little bit in my life to think about what do I want to do less and what do I want to do more of. I'm gonna do more vlogs now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know this isn't really a big deal, I know. I just, I just feel so happy because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I wanna do this and I'm gonna do it. I haven't been able to sleep the last two nights because I'm just thinking about how fun it's gonna be to finally, you know, make videos again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I mean, I have done videos during this year, of course. I have done music videos and cuddling videos, and yea, you know...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Different things, but I haven't got the time to really do it as much as I want and I really love vlogs because you get to see more of the reality, you get to see behind the scenes more of the daily life and I love to share that as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So from now on I'm gonna make at least one or two videos a week. You know, vlogs from my daily life and everything. I'm just, I just wanna share more. I just feel so happy about this. It feels like a new spark came to life in my heart. This is something I wanted to do for such a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the biggest change is definitely that my fiance Johan now works full-time as a silversmith in our own jewelry brand. And he works here in our home in Grundtjärn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's actually a long story how all this started with the jewelry, but me and my mom worked with the jewelry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then Johan got interested and he really found a passion in silversmithing and now a year later he actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Decided to, you know, go for it and try. So he just started a month ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To send, oh, all over the world. So we get to eat lunch together and, you know, see each other more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something else that I have changed since March is that in my last vlogs I had rented a house in my neighborhood village about 15 kilometers from here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when my mom grew up in this village, she went to this little place to buy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I took the decision to move into this little cottage in May and we had to renovate it a lot before I could move in because it was in really bad condition. Once it was done, I just felt so happy because, you know, I could just walk to my, to my work. I didn't need to drive anymore and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just had this cozy little place. Even though of course it's very small, but when it comes to the music I don't need any bigger. As many of you already know I decided to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Focus more on music this year, cause I want to do an album with Kueling and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just got more interested in music and it's been a long journey as well since that is a whole new world to me. So it's been some ups and downs. I've lost my voice for some months during the summer because of too much pressure and I just felt so stressed about the album and everything around that. Finally, I figured out a good way


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I work together with a musician who plays old folk instruments like nyckelharpa. Very soon we are actually done with our very first song. So I really look forward to share that with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not used to this. So yeaah, that's a little bit of what's been going on since March. I really look forward to show you more of my life now. Now it's September.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The winter is on its way and yeaah, it's just going really quick now. It gets colder every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I really look forward to winter, especially now as I'm gonna start doing videos again. I really hope you would like to follow me and Joanne and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Muah. Thank you so much for watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think my face, my voice and everything about me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had my research assistant research all the candidates who were going to be on stage that night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fine, we forged forward. The convention center was laughing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way Trump sees media, the way he sees life is all, they like me or they don't like me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I do believe, I believe that night the anger was real. His anger at me was real that night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, a powerful woman, never mind a woman at Fox. And so he accurately deduced that this would drive his numbers up with some segment of his bass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, I had and have three young kids, really young kids, and the security threats were escalating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and we were doing everything in our power to convey to them that they needed to stop. It was one debate question. Just one debate question. And he handled it fine. You know, he did. So get off of it. They couldn't have cared less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roger definitely felt that he had to keep that sort of bright bar wing of the viewership on board, that they were at risk thanks to Trump's attacks on me and Fox in the wake of that debate. And he definitely wasn't going to lose 30% of the viewers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as this man who by August of 2015 we knew was the, the likely Republican nominee. He didn't want that guy to be driving a division between Roger and the viewers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump sounded like them. There was an authenticity to him that I think they connected with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would drop an F-bomb. He said the P-word on the air about Ted Cruz one time. I was in Iowa like, oh my god, what did he just say? That rhymes with wussy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, this happened, right? I think there's a swath of the American public that, look, it's not like they love vulgarity, but they just loved what they felt was his authenticity and his willingness to throw a punch, which they felt was on their behalf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it was jarring. It was very jarring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though it felt dirty and you felt kinda gross when you watched the whole thing unfold, it was effective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It reminded all of us that the woman who would go into office if he lost was no saint either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not Hillary herself necessarily, but her husband. And with her enabling, really, it must be said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's rarely somebody who comes to say your president is wrong, and you, the Congress, in effect, need to stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was deliberate, and he wasn't gonna try to, uh, make nice and pretend it wasn't what he thought it really was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Obama really believed in 2009 he could sit down with rational people and come up with a rational solution. All we have to do is get them together and of course we can settle this thing. We all know it can be settled. I can be the one to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Netanyahu found that outrageous, the Palestinians weren't doing anything as far as he was concerned, so why should he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was already some real scratchiness there over what Obama expected Israel to do and what Israel expected out of Obama.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're watching President Obama there with his face in his hand, and you can tell it's not going over well. This is his house, and to be lectured in his office, um, rankles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a real gamble for Netanyahu to embrace Mitt Romney the way he does. I mean, it's a relatively brazen interference in effect in American elections.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obama comes to office on the theory that we should talk to our enemies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Netanyahu's already given up on Obama. He looks at Washington and says, well, who can I find as an ally? Well, the Republicans now control both houses of Congress. And in effect, he decides to make common cause with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no other time when the Israeli Prime Minister let himself be so deeply involved in American politics, recruiting, redrafting American politics against the American president.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two of the terrorists dead and some of the Sayat Matkal team injured, including Benjamin Netanyahu, who was injured in his hand because of his friend's bullet that was fired in the wrong direction. But you know, minimal cost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have used very strong language against Prime Minister Rabin.

[Assistant] Suicide bombers into political power and say, I will be able to solve this. I am strong. I come from, uh,

[Assistant] The first three months of 2012, everything was ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huge military building. Including...

[Assistant] Land bases in other countries, intelligence corporation, uhm, advanced weaponry.

[Assistant] Israeli intelligence learns that the United States has a secret back channel of negotiation with Iran in Oman, in Muscat. And when it learned about this, of course Benjamin Netanyahu was furious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Benjamin Netanyahu sees this highly sensitive secretive intelligence coming from Tehran. The Iranians are happy.

[Assistant] And it leads, I think naturally, to harshen the line.

[Assistant] Against the US government and say this is a very bad deal, you are going to make a very bad deal.

[Assistant] I'll tell ya, I, yesterday was our second little league practice, and it was the first practice where I was hitting to the kids, like I was hitting ground balls, and I must've, and I was throwing batting practice, I must've thrown 150 pitches maybe, and I got home last night, everything hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There he is, he's got his panda shirt, the barbershop shirt, and his guardians hat. Ready to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anthony's girlfriend is here. Can we put a camera on her too or no?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do. Well, yesterday's bet was a big L, big loser. So, trying to bounce back here, I got two bets. Uh, first game of the day, I believe, or one of the first games of the day, is the Cubs and the Rangers at Wrigley Field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Marcus Stroman looked real good for the Cubs his first time out. They're a better home team. I like them at home today on the money line. And then the Rays, I'm betting against the A's quite often. The Rays are actually plus 118 on the run line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Vegas basically thinks the Rays are going to win this game by one run. But I got the Rays winning by multiple runs today, uh, because... So do I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there you go. Uh, so there you go. Those are the picks for today. Hopefully we'll get back on track because I've been losing your money. Check out today's Bet Rivers podcast on Apple and Spotify, where I talk about the mess that is the Ravens, the fact that Cam Newton's not good anymore and a unique take on the Masters. You're not going to want to miss. That's all coming up.

[Assistant] Mikey, let's get to some Browns talk. Let's jump right in. Let's jump right in. By the way, for those who are saying it's opening day, why are you talking about the Browns?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're talking about the Browns for a little while because we'd like to, you know, sprinkle in some other things, but the final 75 minutes of the show starting around 1145 until the end at one o'clock will be nothing but guardians, nothing but guardians. The final 75 minutes of the show, but we're going to hit some other things before that guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And most of the guys left in free agency are, for the most part, bottom of the battle. Like guys that are past their prime. There's a couple of decent players out there. Right. But at this point, free agency is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty much over. Yea, it's pretty much out of here. There's very few difference makers. When you look at what's left on the free agent board, guys, and I'll start with you G, do you see anybody else that, who's like the biggest game changer left? And I got two guys, I like them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's some big names on offense that were once really good players. Now I'm not sure, Brad, but you've got Kareem Hunt still out there. You've got Ezekiel Elliott still out there. You've got Odell Beckham still out there. Julio Jones is a big name. I don't know if he's got anything left in the tank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gerald Ford, and we're going to get to Mike's game in a second. The first thing I thought of, does anybody here watch Snowfall besides me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last two seasons have been okay, but the first four seasons were awesome. But there's a character named Jerome and he just put out a video, like a personal video that I saw yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's this big, huge dude. You've probably seen him in the preview. Yeah. Is that his uncle? His uncle, right? That's huge. I don't know where that actor came from. I've never seen him in anything before, but his name is Jerome and it just made me think of that. Anyway, Mikey, we got, you got a game for us speaking of free agency. We've hit on a couple of guys briefly, but you've got a new game to play on the show, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are there any women that we're putting on this list? What'd you say? You said or a girl, like are there some women where we have on this list?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't really have any interest in bringing in Cam Newton. Cam Newton, you get, listen, Cam Newton was a great player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here's the thing, guys who are washed up first round picks, and that's what he is, he's washed up, he has not been good, this is not an old Dell situation where two years ago he still saw him good. It's like 2018. He hasn't been good five years. You're right. 2018. You're correct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is he even now still better than Josh Dobbs? Maybe, maybe. However, Josh Dobbs knows his job. I said that yesterday. Jacoby Brissette knows his job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These guys who are backups, Colt McCoy, Teddy Bridgewater, they know their role on these teams. Cam Newton still wants to start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The backup. And you don't listen, I'm not saying I don't know Cam Newton is a teammate. We've never really seen him in a backup situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I don't know that he would do this, but this could be anybody that was a good quarterback and is now a backup. Maybe every bad pass to Sean Watson throws, he's like, man, I could have made that play. We don't need that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this point, Teddy Bridgewater is a better player than Cam Newton, probably. At least he's played and he's just like, I just don't think Cam


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, never been the same. He looked terrible when he was in New England.
