[Assistant] The proud lord of Holderness was not accustomed to be so rated in his own ducal hall. The blood flushed into his high forehead, but his conscience held him dumb. I will help you, but on one condition only. It is that you ring for the footman, and let me give such orders as I like." Without a word the duke pressed the electric bell. A servant entered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You will be glad to hear, said Holmes, that your young master is fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is the duke's desire that the carriage shall go at once to the fighting cock inn to bring Lord Saltyer home. Now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said Holmes when the rejoicing lackey had disappeared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there is no reason, so long as the ends of justice are served, why I should disclose all that I know. As to Hayes, I say nothing. The gallows awaits him, and I would do nothing to save him from it. What he will divulge I cannot tell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I have no doubt that your grace could make him understand that it is to his interest to be silent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the police point of view he will have kidnapped the boy for the purpose of ransom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they do not themselves find it out, I see no reason why I should prompt them to take a broader point of view.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would warn your grace, however, that the continued presence of Mr. James Wilder in your household can only lead to misfortune. I understand that, Mr. Holmes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since you have yourself stated that any unhappiness


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would suggest that you make such amends as you can to the Duchess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that my friend and I can congratulate ourselves upon several most happy results from our little visit to the North.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is one other small point upon which I desire some light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This fellow Hayes had trod his horses with shoes which counterfeited the tracks of cows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was it from Mr. Wilder that he learned so extraordinary a device? The Duke stood in thought for a moment, with a look of intense surprise on his face. Then he opened a door


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And showed us into a large room furnished as a museum. He led the way to a glass case in a corner, and pointed to the inscription. These shoes, it ran, were dug up in the moat of Holderness Hall. They are for the use of horses, but they are shaped below with a cloven foot of iron, so as to throw pursuers off the track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are supposed to have belonged to some of the marauding barons of Holderness in the Middle Ages. Holmes opened the case, and moistened his finger he passed it along the shoe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A thin film of recent mud was left upon his skin. Thank you, said he as he replaced the glass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is the second most interesting object that I have seen in the North. And the first? Holmes folded up his cheque and placed it carefully in his notebook. I am a poor man, said he, as he patted it affectionately and thrust it into the depths of his inner pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, got the warehouse running a shawl service. I'm doing well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, since I technically work for his grand uncle, and you're my cousin, I'll help him out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you'll find these will keep the young ladies warm for the journey. That's Miss Annes and Miss Charlottes. Miss Emily, I understand, will be with us in a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The vicar's girl's going into service. Where's the world coming to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goodbye, Father. God bless you, my son. You know what I expect of you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nichols? Oh yes, she's asked him to come in. And tell Miss Emily I wish to see her when she returns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you look a strong, healthy specimen, which is certainly more than I expected. Sit down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very good, Mr. Nichols. I'm happy to find you possessed with a sense of humor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Mr. Nichols who's come to assist me in the care of the parish. My daughter Emily. Why, how'd you do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry he didn't arrive earlier, he would have met my son. He left for London this morning to make his place in the world. I think you'd have got on with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who should be your destiny? Nichols? You may stay. But in the future, keep your fists to yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, Christian men be sure, rank or wealth possessing, ye who would now bless the poor, shall yourselves be blessed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Happy as the daisies that dance on her way. Many were the wild notes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard of the thunder crash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So why should we run? Let's get drenched in moonbeams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Madame Heger, because those English girls are permitted to give a few lessons, they seem to have forgotten that there are still only pupils here. Mademoiselle Charlotte is a dangerous one, always running to Monsieur Heger with her little suggestions, trying to impress him with her own efficiency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you have formed an inaccurate estimate of Mademoiselle Charlotte's character, Mademoiselle Blanche. I may be wrong, of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps Mademoiselle Charlotte's pursuit of Monsieur Heger is prompted by a desire to improve her French. Mademoiselle Charlotte is a pupil of unusual brilliance. We have great hopes for her future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that is sad. Naturally you feel you must return to England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think Monsieur Heger would tell you that in matters like this, one must ask the advice of one's conscience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In your case, I am sure it would be a most reliable test. You cannot wait to get rid of me, can you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a clever pupil and a very satisfactory teacher. Why should I want to get rid of you? Because I love your husband.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All our girls love Monsieur Heger. He has quite a way with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got to go and examine the wreck. Not a very pleasant job, I can tell you. Good night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it, professor, and what great lectures they were, and what a one you were with the lady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a way, yes. Poor child. She's unhappy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I've been there many times. I'm interested in Julia and Henry. What seems to be their trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand, Henry. It's hard to believe even for you. Of course, I'm not one of the more important angels. I just happen to be assigned to this district temporarily. You see, we're everywhere helping people who deserve to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have some problems with the building of this cathedral, haven't you? Yes. It's a fine cathedral. It ought to look magnificent up there on the top of Sanctuary Hill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Henry, do you believe I am what I say I am? Well, how can I? Have I got your word for it? But you're a bishop. You of all people can trust the word of an angel. I'd like to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wouldn't want me to do that, would you? How would you explain it? Tell the world you're being visited by an angel. You can't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Julia, if you don't mind. How do you do, Julia? I'm Dudley. Henry is engaging me to help him with his work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to try to help Henry to rest and get some relaxation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says that he's in a... I've been doing some social service work downtown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can understand, Henry, so many people making so many mistakes. Yes, I see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you sure you're an angel? I know it isn't easy for you, Henry, but you've just got to take me on faith. Yes, but for how long? How long will it take? For just long enough. Until you can utter another prayer and say that you have no further need of me, then I'll be gone and forgotten. But now, uh, Julia is waiting for you at the dining table. You must go to her. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I see that Mrs. George B. Hamilton has pledged one million dollars but has not yet sent her check. Never mind those cards. That's work for a bookkeeper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, because Julia must be happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Henry, it's going to be difficult for me to help you until I'm sure what it is you really want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, then I see. Now this young lady would like to get into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what difference does it make what her father is? Are you high hat? How would you like her to play on your team?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, you don't think Andy would mind? I'd explain to him, it'd be just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Youth and beauty. Now they're really one of the same things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Professor, I see you're quite a religious man. What makes you think that? You have an angel on your tree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, no, no. You're writing one? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stole it off the table. You wasted your time Dudley, it's worthless. Oh, on the contrary. This is one of the rarest of all antiquities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only 100 of these coins were minted by Julius Caesar 2000 years ago. That was when Cleopatra visited Rome. Presumably these coins were used to pay her hotel bill. I never knew that. Nobody knew about it except, uh, Caesar's wife. She was suspicious. Definitely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told you I came from another planet, would you believe me? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you'd be right, Julia, as always. We all come from our own little planets. That's why we're all different. That's what makes life interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please, Henry, I didn't come down here to do silly tricks. I'm surprised at you. I don't believe you're an angel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pass the celery Henry, please. Hm? The celery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yes, that's true. Well, once upon a time, there was a little boy, and he lived in a little town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His name was David. He was a shepherd. And the town where he lived was called Bethlehem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. Only David lived long before the star. But one night David was out in the hills tending his sheep. He was playing the harp and singing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no. No, Jingle Bells hadn't been written then. David was singing songs that he wrote himself. Well, suddenly an angel came down and spoke to David.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then people feel very proud of themselves because they think it was all their own idea. Well, this angel said to David, one of your lambs has strayed. So David put aside his heart and went out in the darkness to find the lamb. Of course, the angel guided him. And when David found the lamb, he saw a great, big, ferocious lion. Oh. So David said to the lion, you get away from that lamb. And the lion said, you get away from me or I'll eat you too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So David took out his sling and he hurled a stone and hit the lion right between the eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you, uh, expecting a letter? One never knows. But if I should get one, the stamp will be worth saving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, are you going to see Mrs. Hamilton today? I hope to. May I come along? I'd like to meet her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in dreaming of his cathedral, he's moved away from the people he loved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We really should begin, but I, I don't see how we can. It's really quite embarrassing, but you know it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a little difficult to compete with basketball and Christmas. They're all good boys at heart. I know they are. They'll show up. I hope so. Hello, Bobby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You folks happen to know what the main trouble with this country is. Oh, I've heard several versions of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you'd sent me to represent you with Mrs. Hamilton, I would have gone. You didn't, so I represented you with your wife. Is that part of the normal duties of an-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that was a foregone conclusion. If you were willing to make a slight sacrifice of your principles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not so sure if it's glory at a time like this. Oh, you're not? No, Henry, I'm not. You know, these are lean years for the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suppose you pray for that. It was your prayer that brought me here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Julia's just about ready to come down the stairs now. Don't let her see you like that. Try to calm yourself, Henry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tonight, I want to tell you the story of an empty stocking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We celebrate the stars hung on the Christmas tree and the cry of bells and gifts, especially with gifts. We buy them and wrap them and put them under the tree. You give me a tie. I give you a book. Aunt Martha always wanted an orange squeezer. Uncle Harry can use a new pipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, run upstairs, Matilda. Tell Debbie I'll see her later. First, I have some work to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told you, Stevens. She'll wish to see me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yes, the world lost a brilliant young composer when he was, when he died.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm much older than you think. Come, let us sit down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, Agnes. Just go out and greet them in your usual warm-hearted manner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm afraid I can't, Agnes. I have a great deal of work to do. But don't keep Henry and Julia waiting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm glad you like it. It's been years since I've had a chance to work on the Christmas tree. I usually get the more disagreeable jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think my work here is almost finished. I'll have to be moving along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They seldom send us to the same place twice. We might form attachments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't you realize, Henry, that as an angel I could quite possibly destroy you with a bolt of lightning? I don't care. Julia means more to me than my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, you won't. Because when I'm gone, you will never know that an angel visited your house. And Julia, what about her? There will be no memory with her either. Or with Debbie, or the professor, or anyone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No Henry, you were praying for guidance. That has been given to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not I. I should ask to be assigned to the other end of the universe. Is that because I was so difficult? Oh no. This difficulty was in me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on, that's a very strong word. He wants him dead. That's it. Well, when we're talking about other people's emotion towards other people, I'm okay if you say you hate Baker. I don't think we should put words in other people's mouth. Okay, let me say this again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've missed, I've missed Captain Jack. He is the most interesting man in the world. He is so damn interesting. And I miss him desperately. He's gonna be here. Prop bets. I gotta tell ya, uh, were there 10?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were 10. It felt like a Super Bowl because that's how many, when you, when you do the prop bets on the Super Bowl, how long will the national anthem be? I felt like this was a Super Bowl. Right. And it feels like a Super Bowl for other reasons too. It is. Our prop bets are really fun. I can't wait to get to those. We're also, we're going to start something today. We're going to do it every Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pre-written headlines. So we're all writing headlines that we believe will be appropriate on Monday morning, after the game Sunday. I can't wait to see what we have there. Tyvis Powell is going to join us. Tyvis is beginning his


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But first, we start with the Baker Beef. And this was from Mary Kay Cabot yesterday. Wrote a fascinating piece, which really fills in some of the blanks publicly. I think everybody kind of figured out that there was definitely something going on between Miles Garrett and Baker Mayfield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I was interested, I think the timing's great for the Browns because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody, not that the fans have anything to do with it, but it just heightens, heightens everybody's emotion for what this game means. The game was already hyped up. The game was already hyped up not even more. Now that we know there is a personal vendetta going on between the two. Everybody lives a good storyline. And that's the storyline that everybody will be watching. Don't say there's a personal vendetta, we don't know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was kind of surprised that he was this open. This is not who Miles Garrett is. Miles Garrett opened the vault.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, I'm glad he did. Here's what he told Mary Kay Cavett. An excellent job by Mary Kay. Great reporting, great writing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Right. Okay, now I'm, I'm, but keep paraphrased. I, I started with what Miles said about that. I think everybody has seen this. Imagine not answering that. No, but the first thing you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but it's also what Miles said in his answer to Mary Kay. He quoted the text.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but you made it seem like that was what Miles was saying to Baker. No, this is what I said. This is what Miles said to Mary Kay. Alright. He did not reply to the tweet. This is how he replied to Mary Kay's question, the text rather, about the text. So we're clear. Miles said to Mary Kay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Baker said he appreciated the time we got to spend together and getting to know each other and growing together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, I really didn't say anything. I didn't really have much to say, and I didn't know how to reply to it, so I didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read the text, but you know, there were some disagreements we had at a base level and I'm not mad at the guy or feeling any way towards it. That's why I think it's very careful that we don't say he hates him. Cause on the record he says he's not mad at him, he's not feeling any way towards it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think there's something there, but it's not, it's not he hates his guy. Oh it is, it is, but keep going. Look how polite this is. Yea, we're gonna get him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I just didn't know how to reply to that, so I didn't. Which is fair, by the way. I think in human interaction, if you don't know how to reply to something, leave it laid. If someone's a friend, you reply to that. That says more than a response, in my view.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he has a great family. Interesting thing to drop in there. But he's the opposition now, and at the end of the day, and this is where I think we can say that there's animus. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, Dave. Thank you very much. Yahoo. Yahoo also. I know Daquel's on and we're ready to bring him in. Uhm, we really don't have anywhere in the show where we talked about last night's game and what our thoughts were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we can do that with the quell as we bring them in because I think it's worth at least, I mean, it was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. It was somewhat of a surprise. I think the outcome, without four turnovers, it's probably a five touchdown victory. Right. And they were fluky turnovers. It's not like they were Bill's mistake. Interesting game. De'Qual Jackson, the most interesting man in the world, Captain Jack, welcome back to the program. We missed you. It's been three weeks since you've been here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we get into the Browns, and there's so much to get there to, we really don't have a spot in the show to talk about what happened last night, uh, what was your takeaway?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something I thought I'd never see Dequel was a guy catching a touchdown on Ramsey who actually tripped and fell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he still caught the touchdown, but that's how much separation he had. And you're right. But based on the way Jalen Ramsey looked at times last year, late in the season, and what we saw last night,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's fair to start at least asking the question, has he lost his fastball a little bit? And I know it might not be physical, it might be up here, but he was in the wrong place at the wrong time too many times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw yesterday that Christian McCaffrey had to miss practice on Wednesday with a shin injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No doubt. What do you see them getting out of him? I know it's impossible to predict injury, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It isn't unfair to ask if this guy can stay healthy after what we've seen the last two seasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even where they've been hit by injury in the past, which has been the corners, just the defensive backfield, you're almost to the point now with Emerson coming in, and Delphi is going to give you something, and Greedy is a guy that's going to give you something. I feel comfortable now, even with the risk of injury,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Bill Belichick decided that he was gonna buck the trend and he was gonna defer until the second half and now everybody does it because everybody follows Bill's lead. My, my only thinking on that was if you're, if you're at home, I would definitely go that route.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This Carolina fan base who's watched this team just toil in mediocrity the last five years, three years in particular. I think they've won five games each of the last three years. Uhm, I don't want to electrify them and I always look at worst case scenario.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that's going to happen. I don't think that, but I do know in Baker's history, he has looked great in first drives many times. And then I'm asking myself the rest of the game, where the hell was the Baker we saw in that first drive? Where did he go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, my fear is, and I'm sure Stefanski won't coach off of fear, but as a fan watching, to me the one thing I do not want to see is Baker have a 7 minute 80 yard touchdown drive and Carolina's crowd base just got doused with vodka and now they're really on fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be funny if Stefanski told Myles Garrett, hey, uh, we're gonna take the ball first if we win the coin toss. And then the Browns win it and Myles looks over at Stefanski and looks over at Baker and says, we're going on defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks DeQuille. One more thing, DeQuille, before you go, aside from the games that you played in,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if this is true. Maybe you can figure this out. Somebody texted me yesterday from Columbus and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this a bad rumor I'm hearing, but we're not going to get the Browns Panthers in Columbus. Is that true? They're going to get the Panthers or the Steelers. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I don't know which one would elicit more hate mail. I worked in Columbus for five years and I can honestly say I was in Columbus when the Browns left. So it's really not fair, but for the couple of years that I was there when the Browns were still here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the NFL is losing viewers. What I can't get my mind around and I've never had anybody explain this to me and I used to talk to the programmers at ESPN about this. I've never had anybody adequately explain to me why in 2022 we don't have the ability as fans to watch every single game


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so I was under, I was early in the week, I was 21-17. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as the week has gone on, and I've listened to more from Carolina, I, we already know what we're hearing here. So I've listened, uh, I think it's going to be a, the storyline of the game is going to be the rookie, uh, left tackle against Miles Garrett. He's going to be over skis from jump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've talked about this a million times. You brought it up earlier. DeQuel talked about it. When are we gonna see the... I believe that Kevin Stefanski in the offseason after looking at all the tape...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's gonna say after the game, I didn't do this because the fans have been screaming about it. I did this because I've watched everything over again and I've realized I wasn't using these guys properly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe that the way he's going to use Chubb and Hunt is going to be much closer to the way we want him to use them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you decide to make that pivot after an offseason?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought 15 and a half rushing attempts for Nick. If he doesn't have 16 rushing attempts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When an organization writes the kind of check that they wrote for Njoku, and I don't just mean the size of it, I mean the why behind it. A lot of fans were saying, this guy has not played up to a 14 million dollar a year level. What the hell are you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'll defend us as a group, uhm, but it's not fair because there are probably many amongst the Browns fan base that will say I'm completely wrong. But I am with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've watched the wrong thing happen for 57 years. And you know, I don't need to list all the tragedies that we name. I don't need to do that. We all know what they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And particularly in big games, the worst happens. Now, somebody having that attitude, Jay, doesn't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, ours. Cleveland. And who's your football team? Yes, they did. The Cavs won a championship. Our in-state rival. Right. So, you've tasted it. Your team went to the Super Bowl several times. Yea, they lost, but, and also, understand this, when you speak about it with such venom, you make it sound like we have something to do with the outcome of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also were up 3-1. It don't matter. In the same year and it led to one of the most improbable collapses ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or by more than one score even in this day. All you do is throw. And that's why the Browns need to score first. They need to get on top of this team and make Baker Mayfield feel pressure. We all agree that when Baker feels the pressure. Last year on opening day, he completed like 75% of his passes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no pressure, it's week one. Still had no shoulders. As the season, he wasn't hurt yet. As the season goes on and the games get bigger and the pressure ratchets up, you can just look at this by his fourth quarter number.

[Assistant] He starts to fold. So the Browns have to get up by more than one score. And that's why I, and I do think they will. And that's why he's going to go over. That's not a big number at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't want you. He might stumble forward. When you go through the history of the NFL, if you look at the quarterback of the winning team and you look at their line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It almost never says zero touchdowns thrown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he really is in such a dumb spot that he's put himself in. Because if his line isn't great,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, Donald gets the ankle healed and he's on the bench at week six. How silly does that unleashed t-shirt look?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's the thing, he always has tip balls, particularly when the target is over the middle. I think we're going to see a lot of swings to McCaffrey. I just do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And those, if, if the defensive back times it right and sits on the route, those are pick sixes. So I think he may throw a pick six in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will. Before we go there, because I've got a bunch of people hitting me up asking me why Bull's wearing, why is he wearing a Cade York jersey? Explain this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So these are pre-written headlines. This is what the headline will read Monday morning in the, uh, in the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show times. Running start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously a play on getting into the season and also a play on how I think they're gonna win this football game. They're gonna run the hell out of it. I like that. And then the subhead is Browns use ground game for week one win. Nice. We ran out of, we ran out of font.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And hopefully it helps you not draw away from people from the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That this weekend for Cleveland's baseball team, while the football team is starting the season, the baseball team is really beginning what I'm going to call the pre-postseason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if they want to get to the postseason, what they do starting tonight and going forward for the next 15 days will determine whether or not they actually get a postseason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's alright, all good. So yea, go ahead. They didn't play them at all in July, they didn't play them at all in August, and now we're in the stretch run and they're gonna play them eight more times the rest of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watch tonight's game if for no other reason to see the first at bat for Andreas Jimenez against the Minnesota Twins. Because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As they're getting ready to play each other eight times in two weeks. These teams don't like each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They really do not like each other. And for evidence, I'll give you this clip of video. Andres Jimenez in a 3-3 tie in the 9th inning on June 30th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He hits the home run. Now watch what he does here guys. He Cadillacs, he kisses his bat, and he flips it right at the twins dugout and then poses for the entire twins dugout. Wow. Major leaguers don't like that. Fans love it. I mean if you're a fan of the Guardians, you'd love that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want to see that, but there's this crazy unwritten rule in Major League Baseball that you don't do that. Like it or not, that's the rule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I wouldn't be surprised at all if in his first at bat tonight, Andres Jimenez wears one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if he does, if he does, these next eight games are going to be a whole hell of a lot of fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They might get a preemptive warning from the umpire before the game. Because this is now two months brewing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at the time, the Guardians, I believe were a game out of first place. Now they're in control. They have a game and a half lead over both the Twins and the White Sox.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the reaction bulls, if it comes down to the last two minutes, it will be the most appointment viewing for Cleveland sports fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so wonderful being at the hospital. I wish you could come and visit. I will. But some of it's so sad. If you could see those boys. And they're so cheerful, most of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, my body looks funny, but I don't care because it's a funny picture. I think it's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Donovan Mitchell was like pumped up. I mean, you think about what the Cavs have now. Like, I don't know, we were talking about you. There it is. Right. I don't, I don't know who their fifth starter is. I don't know if it's a Coro. Maybe even Kevin Love back in the starting lineup. I don't know, but like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think about the amount of guys you have that could definitely score 20 points in a game. Like, you're four stars, plus Kevin Love, plus uhm, what's his name? Who they got from Indiana last year? Levert, Levert. Like that's six guys that can score 20 points on any night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Real quick before we go to McNally, it's like the backcourt, I was saying this yesterday, kinda like, in a way, it's like Portland's backcourt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? They had the two small point cards, but they couldn't really go anywhere in the playoffs because they had nothing up front. The Cavs have the two small point cards, and yeaah, they gotta get, they gotta go a little more before they were quite as good as what Portland was, but they're right there, and yet we have two great post players, or one great one and one becoming great, but if Jared Allen is your fourth best player,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Notre Dame, obviously their head coach, there's been a lot of talk about what he said in the off season and the Buckeyes are fired up. Do you think that plays a role in the game or is that something that guys like us in the media talk about and gets blown out of proportion?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Well, Ryan Day obviously has done a magnificent job as head coach of the Buckeyes, but he hasn't won a championship yet, and in Ohio State...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, did you, have you ever seen an assistant coach pull off


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's ridiculous. It feels like their, like their sixth best receiver is probably starting for 98% of the schools in America. What he's done at that position seems remarkable to me. Have you seen anything like this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first Ohio State game I ever went to, Dustin and I went, it was, they were playing Miami of Ohio, and they were, Buckeyes in favor of like 50 points. Right. And we got to the parking lot maybe like 8, 9 o'clock that morning, and I was like, what the bleep is this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Robert, CJ Stroud speaking of pressure, it's always a lot of pressure being the quarterback for the Buckeyes. Heisman Trophy, consideration expected. Uh, when you look at his game from last year, obviously he was great, but everybody has things they can improve in, no matter how good you are. When you look at his game, what's the part of his game you kind of got your eye on that you think, okay, he can get better doing this? Is there anything specific?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So listen, I think this is actually cool and funny that he did it, but I don't want to hear this nonsense about he's matured, he's grown up, the media's out to get him to say things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you get, didn't you get more juiced up when you played another good team as opposed to like, some team that stinks? You mean NBA games?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maurice, we just had Robert Smith on before. Asked him about Travion Henderson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you see when you see him? You know, when you talk about all the great Ohio State running backs, there's been great ones before you, there's great ones with you, great ones since you. How does he stack up based on what you've seen from him so far?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Tyvis, let's talk about the exciting part of football offense. Enough of this defense nonsense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we know about all the skill position players, but what about the offensive line? Are you, are you have any concerns about the starting line at all?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, like, even if, like, obvi- first of all, it's an insulting question that Mike asked, because obviously Tyvis could start on his team. However, even if Tyvis couldn't, he of course would say yes anyway. No, I would not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And PCC wants you to know it's $12.56 and Michigan still sucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Buckeyes win 49-24. The defense will struggle a little bit in this game, but as the season goes along, it will get better. Buckeyes are going, uh, they play 12-30, 15-0. They will not lose a game. Wow. And they win the national championship. How about that? But the defense looks shaky in the opener, but the offense dominates so much it doesn't matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well listen, if he ends up being the number one overall draft bit, CJ's draft right now would be better in the NFL than Baker. Is that what he's saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the thing, in the East, everybody is stacked. They got, they got studs. There's eight good. Now, here's the thing that we learned about the Cavs last year. When they got down to the nitty-gritty and it was playing games, which were essentially playoff games, people kicked it up and down the line. And the Cavs


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, that playoff game is different. Like guys or shop makers, it don't matter, shot hands, everything. Everybody had one. Trey Young, Kyrie, Tatum Brown, all those guys. The Cavs literally have one of them dudes that now you can say, oh, okay, it's tight. Here you go. Roll that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brian Winhurst, they talked about, they said they did some feelers and they said that he said he would be excited to go to Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they all fit. You have two rim protectors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. Before, you had small guards. Remember Julante, Weston, Moe Williams? Small guards, but they only had Z back there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the, the Cavs have two rim protectors, high defensive IQ. They'll be able to race a lot of the stuff that, that they ain't doing. And this team actually reminds me a little bit of the Pistons. They just need a guy like Rodman to come in that knows his role, defense, and I think that'll put him right on the thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's true. I think they're, I think they're sitting between four and five. I like Milwaukee. I think the Sixers are great. Boston is great. That's the top three right there. But then you got in that four or five. You got, you got Brooklyn. You got the Atlanta Hawks who've gotten better. Brooklyn's low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Paul, I look at this and you know, you could look at realignment. You look at, you know, teams moving around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, these types of matchups give you that feeling. They give you that, oh, it's the difference between college and the NFL. And with all the alignment and things going on, do you think that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DNCAA or the Power 5 schools should do all they can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To kinda keep these types of matchups going, because to me, this is, this is a matchup. I went back and watched on the internet, uh, you know, the games between Notre Dame and, and Ohio State, and it just gave me that feeling, uh, because of the, the, the magnitude. Do you think they should continue to do these types of things, even if the conferences expand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uh, Paul, we- we take a look at this, and I'm-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Heisman Trophy guys. Trevion Henderson, uh, Smith and Jig, but CJ Stroud, who do you believe has the inside track? Usually, traditionally, quarterbacks are there, but the three great candidates right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, if I had his voice, I would have, uh, I would have had a lot of children just running around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feel that is unrivaled. You went to Bowling Green. It's like that at every school when Ohio State played. Bowling Green. Absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Robert, this is a kind of philosophical question. If you had to say what Ohio State is known for most, would it be defensive backs, receivers, or running backs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the difference, I'm a kind of tweener, and what happens is, you guys gotta realize, growing up now, you have everything at your tips. You got everything as far as your access goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rarely. Yeah. Rarely. They got Texas, and then they've done, they did USC, and then they'll do, I believe they did Oklahoma. I did Oregon. Oregon is coming up. But here's the thing, the younger kids, we talk about the generational things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason why Ohio State is able to get these certain type players is because those young kids


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Want to play these games. That's right. Look, when they, when they go to your house, they say, listen, we got first week during the day and they like, well, sign me up. Yep. Cause they love that smoke. That's what the competition is 707. They'd have, they'd have recruited the world with all these kids. They grew up with them. They want an opportunity to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know Maurice, 20 years, I think you're gonna be down there for the 20 year reunion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, some of those memories, man, it's crazy that I could look back at it during that time period. And I could just remember when you were, they were going to let you start. Now, it looks like, you know, freshmen start a little more often, but back then it was unheard of. The freshmen wasn't planned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk about, you know, some of the feelings that you had going into that first game and the atmosphere of just being on the field and being a freshman and being a guy that was going to get carries in the shoe in U18.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what, Maurice, I gotta throw this in on this too because even back then, we, we letting them off the hook easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only did they not want you to get paid. Not only did they not want you to get paid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's very true. You got a great attitude, man. I'm gonna tell you what. There's a lot of people that would have not made it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back to where you at, right? I mean, it's a testament. The reason people mess with you like that is different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we know what the circumstances where you come from. There's a lot of people that come from them same circumstances and a lot of people don't understand if you make it past 25 or 30 and you hear still breathing. That's a thing. Not only did they take your money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They took your money, they tried to assassinate your character, but the thing that was crazy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not you look back at it and you're doing better than you've ever, ever, ever done in your life. And it was without football. It was, it's a business. It's a relationship. And that's a testament to show every education don't have to be in a school. Education can be in life lessons. And, and, and you graduated with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, look at him. Hey, Tyvis. Tyvis, what shoes you got on? I need to see. You playing around. I can't see him. What you got? Hold on, Ty. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I will say this, Tyves, I'm, I'm missing that, that, that, that support from the secondary where, you know, back in the day where even him and Malik Hooker and, and Kurt Coleman, guys was taking the football away. Uhm, do they got somebody back there that you looking at that can be one of them type guys that can take it away and knock you out a little bit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, it's money time. Let's talk about this. Money time. Old State got a lot of people, right? They always got somebody top three, top two, they already over the drive board. But Old State be so deep, this was nerve wracking. It's always two or three guys that they got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you have no clue about their names. They play the first game and they ball out and they gonna make themselves a lot of money. Give me a name of somebody who we have no clue who they are today, but next week he gonna say he gonna get that money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, for the season, I got them actually being undefeated, uhm, and they'll go into the Final Four, but I think there'll be two SEC teams that'll be waiting for them. Uhm, we'll give you that prediction then, but I think they- Oh, you're holding out. Yeaah, they relatively get to the Final Four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just like being, you can either work for ESPN or you can work for ABC News tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not trying to sit up there with all them clothes on and have to deliver the news like, this is Garrett Bush, there's war in Iraq again. No, no, I don't want that. I want to come in here and put my joints on. How much money y'all gonna give me? It's the same, about the same?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Saban couldn't do it and Saban was on the coach, he's the college Bill Belichick coach with Bill Belichick in Cleveland. He had all the predegrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll have to. Yes. I never thought I was never one of those guys to be like, oh, next guy up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fleming and Harrison will easily have a thousand yards this year. I'm gonna just let y'all know that right now. They gotta put up huge numbers, all of them. They're all stuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to pick you up from your last comment, I will give you this one. Uh, CJ Stroud is better to Baker down. There you go. Ooh. It's a Baker diss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still. And they had Troy Smith. And Troy Smith, I thought, I mean, Troy Smith was that deal. I don't know what happened between. People thought Troy Smith, Terrell Pryor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good question. Bro, they're not gonna be. Come on, stop playing. Put some respect on that. Michigan, listen, Michigan is physical now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There it is. That's, that's why you got Emmy, Steve. Steve for the Heisman. Yeah, there he is. Slow pan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We swap, which is a thing now. It's called, I guess, bird nesting, and it's something that divorced couples are doing so that rather than having the kids pack a bag each week and go to different parent homes, the parents alternate in the family home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, and I want her to so badly. I'm a huge fan of hers from everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's a family favorite and my family and I can quote every line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a receiving corps, uh, who are going to look and try to make their name in comparison to what, uh, the two young guys, uh, Garrett Wilson and uh, what's the other guy's name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just think that Ohio State has too much firepower for Notre Dame. What was Freeman's, uhm, what was his demeanor?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excuse me, you say, hey man, you got to play somebody early on in the season to tune yourself up for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, this is a school that expects to be in a national championship race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, hopefully that this uh, hopefully they go out the first game and make a statement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the night before I didn't sleep, and I think that was just, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you say, okay, they have, you know, one star receiver, and so we can cheat guys, hitting out the box with safety position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just in context, these kids in college aren't slow. You know what I'm sayin'?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just did a whole deal with them, not about this in particular, but I laughed like that because that was a question yesterday from, from them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, different sponsors, uhm, to align with them to represent their brains or to push their products or.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever it is, so I think it's like the coolest thing in the world, like uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if these kids can take care of themselves and help their families and all that stuff, I'm all for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think like, you know, just like with everything, I'm pretty sure there's a lot of things that we wish that we can do faster. And uhm, there's a lot of people who, you know, I just happen to be the popular guy who didn't benefit from it, but there's a lot of guys who couldn't use help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people did have harsh words for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it started, uhm, believe it or not, it started two or three days ago. Uh, and just for reference, uhm, and I'm not letting any count the bag, but ESPN, the irony is that ESPN had contacted me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they said they wanted to do like a follow-up, uh, in comparison to the last 10 or to the last 10 years, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so they got with me and, uh, out of all people, Gene Wojtahowski, who I didn't have a great relationship with before, we had got together and we did a story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But spiritually, uhm, I remember Mike Tyson said it to me. He said, man, everything I hate, uh, I make sure I get closer to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as he was, uh, catching up with me in my life, uh, like something spiritual over me came and was like, man, like let little stuff go, let like nuance go, let like just stupid problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As an adult because I didn't realize I felt like this way for nothing. And you know, he was 20 years ago and I was 20 years ago and whatever happened happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This shit, all this stuff actually worked out. You know, uh, me getting my life back in order, uh, me focusing on doing the things that it takes to get your life in order.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My brother flew in from, uh, uh, from Nevada. He came in and he's been able to see it. And you know, I got a two kid or I got a third kid on the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, later on this month and, but my daughter, she's 16. She was six when I went back last time and they were still living in Omaha, but then I got a three year old son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all a part of my life. It's not like a movie and a fairy tale, like a, uh, like some Disney fairy tale. It's like a real thing. And so, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like, I don't know, a lot of people don't get a chance to get to this moment. And so I've, I've definitely started it prior to this. I definitely had a moment where, uh, tears came down from my face more from being happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember people who were, and I say poor, that's a bad word, but uhm, people didn't have what it means, but they would appreciate you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For working, for running hard, and it was like the greatest thing that happened to them in life. I played for that. And even as I'm talking to you right now, I can feel...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that's me. I'm proud to be from Ohio in Ohio. That's me. And so, I don't know. Well, everything I just said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's more connected to life and like I'm happy you didn't give up on yourself and like life and effort more than a football and a touchdown, but you know, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so that contradicts to the point that all these young kids would get this money and just do something foolish, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he make other people feel good. There's a lot of good you can do with money. Like just because you're able to make money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doctor Cross doesn't want to get her excited. After all, the attack was brought on by worry over him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I represent the employees of this store that must work and earn a salary to feed themselves and their families. Our jobs are our lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you talk a little bit about the rule that stuff needs to be sourced? Because clearly you have that knowledge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And unless it's been cited in some kind of publication, it's like, you're not allowed to put the knowledge into Wikipedia and that seems...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My brother's Wikipedia page has an incorrect fact about what country he was born in and I can't change it. I know where he was born yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my question was, I think we were talking kind of earlier about like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ...socially constructed knowledge and how we don't really know whether it's true or false at times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my question is like, whether it's true or false, do you think it's important that we build on these assumptions anyways? Cause I kind of pulled the example in like my proof writing classes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, we build on assumptions that we may or may not know are true or not, but we still, like, make important revelations from these. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you, where's your stance on that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three hours later. Alright guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to talk to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Garbar hogi yaar! Gharbar hogi beta, gharbar hogi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leave it. Oh, no, ma'am. Leave it. You eat it. I won't eat the salad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What have you done to yourself? Take care of yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm delighted. You two know everybody, of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, anyone so beautiful usually is. I expect Collins told you we were both on the same newspaper in the old days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good old Colin. I tell you, this lad has a head on his shoulders. He means for a provincial. I'm afraid he's a little bit too self-effacing for these times, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet he was laughing to himself when he wrote that. He always liked to pull a fast one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a real old soldier. Not many like him left. A bit rough and odd-bitten, but... By okay, he died like a gentleman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's nothing, Mother. I was proud to give it.

[Assistant] Sylvia, there's been something I've been wanting to talk to you about. Do you mind if I come in for a few minutes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it must be stopped. I know I should report her, but I can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we shall talk to him first before bringing him here. So I suggest Joseph contact Hoffman immediately after the meeting is over and the central committee will see him tonight in Max's cafe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The underground is stirring up the whole country against the party. It fills the air with lies about us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but all I meant to do was... I had no idea that Eric...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know Scott will throw his laundry just a shy of the hamper every night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knows that I sleep with a pillow over my head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll lock us out of the house on a regular basis, and I will also eat the last chocolate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess our love lasts because it is comfortable. No, the sky is not bluer, it's just a familiar hue. We don't feel particularly young


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a bride, I had Scott's wedding band engraved with Robert Browning's life grow old along with me. We are following those instructions. If anything is real, the heart will make it plain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today's program ends here. Thank you for listening.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Browning was lying, reading on the sofa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She looked up, startled as he came in. It was not a spirit, it was only flesh. She laughed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, as he leapt onto the sofa and thrust his face into hers,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm used to forgetful of his presence here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To thought on thought drew downward tear on tear, When from the pillow, where with cheek'd I lay,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A head as hairy as a faunus thrust its way, right sudden against my face, too golden clear, great eyes astonished mine, a drooping ear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazed by godly god in Twilight Grove.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as the bearded vision closely ran, my tears off, I kneeled flush and rose above, surprise and sadness, thanking the true pen, who by low creatures leads to heights of love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had written that poem one day years ago in Winpole Street when she was very unhappy. Years had passed, now she was happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was growing old now, and so was flush. She bent down over him for a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her face with its wide mouth and its great eyes and its heavy curls was still oddly like his. Broken asunder, yet made in the same mode, each perhaps completed what was dormant in the other. But she was a woman, he was dog. Mrs. Browning went on reading. Then he looked at Flush again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The drawing room table, strangely enough, stood perfectly still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 3 I have had a lot of time to think about things, said Michaelis, who had just recently been released from prison after spending fifteen years there. The police were still watching him very closely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've come to the conclusion that it's economics that causes change in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the other side of the room, a laugh could be heard, coming from the toothless mouth of Carl Jung.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was quite old and had lost all of his hair Although he had become very weak with age


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There seemed to be enough strength in him to commit one last murder. He liked to call himself the terrorist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world needs to be led by men with no pity for anyone or anything, he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then small clouds of smoke appeared from another part of the room where comrade Ossipan was seated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had written most of the letters that their organization, FP, had been putting up on walls around the city. His face had the look of a common criminal. A wide, flat nose surrounded by little dark spots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] with a large mouth spreading into an ugly smile underneath. Most people called him the doctor because he had once been a medical student, although he had never finished his studies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Verlach did not like hearing the word science.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It reminded him too much of Mr. Vladimir and gave him an ill feeling deep in his stomach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we're patient enough, we'll soon see the world change before our eyes. Capitalism is dying, I'm telling you," Michaelis continued. So, we should just sit around and wait? Just let time change the world? asked Ossipan. No, there must be a revolution some day. First, however, we must educate the people with our letters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We must go out among them and speak to them, teach them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not education, but emotion that causes the people to want change, argued Ossipan. If you ask me, Carl Juntz said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole economic system has turned to shit. The rich drinking the blood of the poor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stevie, having stopped his drawing a moment ago, heard this last sentence. It made him very frightened


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michaelis then put his hat on his head and then stood up to go. The others, one by one, followed him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And soon Mr. Verlach was closing the door to his shop behind them all. He was very disappointed in them. In fact, he was disgusted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was so old that he needed an old woman friend of his to care for him everyday was too weak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michaelis, with his rich female friend, giving him money all of the time, was a time-wasting dreamer. And Ossipan was nothing more than a chaser of young women. They were not the right men for the embassy job. He envied them, actually. They were all so lazy. And they could be lazy without any worries, because they did not know Mr. Vladimir


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And because when it came to money, they all had women to take care of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Verlach, however, had to take care of his woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He suddenly realized that Stevie had not yet gone to bed. He was running around the kitchen table, chasing an imaginary animal or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Verlach watched the boy for a few moments, thinking, this is another mouth that I must feed. He then walked upstairs. He passed his mother-in-law's room, and hearing her loud breathing, he thought, another stomach to fill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he reached his bedroom, he woke up his wife and asked that she put her brother to bed. Without saying a word, she jumped out of bed and ran downstairs, shutting the door behind her. Mr. Verlach slowly dressed himself for bed. He was uncomfortable and nervous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Vladimir's face kept appearing and reappearing in his mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] reminding him that his job was now very unstable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He put his head against the window and suddenly became more aware than ever of London's ugliness all around. Then Winnie returned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was Carl Jungt who said that, answered Mr. Verlach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Verlach was not really listening to Winnie any longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was too worried about the moment when she would turn out the lights. The darkness of London would then surround him and he would feel even more helpless than now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've not been feeling well lately, Mr. Verlach said, trying to prevent her from turning out the light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I just now noticed that the aspect ratio is long and the slides are a little clipped off. I said we will just go with that and hopefully, uh, it will not be too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Intrusive. So it was a great pleasure to be here. Some of you may know I did my undergrad here and biking over here from my friend's house. I, once again, the campus has changed so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost get lost coming down this, down this thing. I don't think Tressiter, sorry, Termin Engineering is there anymore. Like that's very sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, my supervisor, Will Durfee said, Karen, why don't you come back and do your PhD in this new thing where we're gonna take robots and have them touch people instead of other stuff. And do you think that sounds cool? And I said, yeah, that sounds kind of interesting. And so no one had really done this before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, how, how you could make it small and cheap and universal and accessible to people. And this was, uh, when I was at MIT and in robotics at MIT, I worked with a lot of other graduate students and I think that there was a kind of a culture there which was that your


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Personal worth was directly proportional to the number of degrees of freedom in your robots that you built.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we've been working on designing these, this haptic technology for quite a while now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Connoisseur do not feel totally excited about or enthusiastic about, but still people start to know what the word is. They know that haptic is not a liver disease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, and it's more familiar. People have usually seen it in their games. But there's huge obstacles to actually using it as a design medium. It is not at a place where even if somehow, somehow a company has managed to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meaningful or comprehensible in the context of an application because we just do not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have the design guidelines, the design knowledge, and there's many obstacles, there's many reasons for why that's such a challenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So designing with haptics is different than designing with other modalities, other sensory modalities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there's ways it's the same. We have some of the same challenges, the same processes we use, and there's ways that it's actually, it has its own specific challenges, its own idiosyncrasies that make it particularly difficult.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I feel like at this point in my career, I have started to bash my head against these problems enough that I have something to say about it, have something to share, and uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One context I have, so I've been an academic researcher for quite a while, and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we think about all the stuff that we do in the haptics world. And so you guys are all HCI researchers and so you-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do some- you'll recognize these things, but I just want to quickly make a point that you'll recognize. We do interaction design. So this is just some pictures from some of the research over the years. We might be sequencing human-robot interaction or trying to figure out what happens when you touch a wearable display or a communication protocol for a mouse that vibrates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the extent of building it out of Lego or, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] R.C. motors, remote control car motors to, uh, you know, engineering prototypes that might take several years to build. But we're trying to answer some question that way, but these prototypes take a while to build. Or we do evaluation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, sometimes very arduous, difficult, complex evaluation setups where we're trying to reproduce with some amount of control, some realistic context. Um, one of the funniest recent ones was when we're actually trying to evoke real emotion in a lab setting without actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inflicting damage on anyone. And so, so just kind of the lengths we have to go to to construct these things. I might easily, my students might spend a year constructing an experiment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, where we're trying to learn something and I'm sure that this is not a foreign concept to some of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and then we have all kinds of data. Every experiment we're doing unique kinds of analysis. The whole point I'm trying to make here, which is probably not a surprise to you, is that we take a lot of time and effort and creativity to take every little an- ounce of knowledge a bit further.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you're in industry, this is completely not available to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, this is not something, this is not a luxury that you have. You have one shot at it, you have to deliver a prototype in a month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm the first to start at this is gonna look extremely boring and unoriginal stuff you've seen before. I'm trying to design a haptic interaction. What do I have to do? There's these different stages of design that we go through that are broadly correct, uh, uh, accepted although,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many different names, I'm not specifying anything about the order you might go through or many, all these other things about design framework that you guys wanna add to this, but there's some basic design activities that happen over and over by any kind of designer anytime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, browsing through examples trying to get inspiration, the process of creating and ideating, conceptualizing, iterating, refining, trying to-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So browsing is one area that is particularly difficult with haptics because when you're browsing you're looking at collections of examples. If you're trying to build a new website, probably the first thing a lot of people would do is they go and they'll look at a bunch of websites that have some aspect in them that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the, uhm, the signals are being transferred through a whole system. Very likely your haptics are part of a larger system that included graphics and audio, maybe virtual reality environment, and it's all a big interlink system and it's very hard to deconstruct all of that. So there's all these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Problems, but I'm going to talk about one particular problem that doesn't even get that far, which is talking about it or being able to describe it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually, if you're a haptics engineer or a haptics designer, you are stuck with the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The parameters that you have knobs to turn, okay, which is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, laboratory, uh, biologists who study on a Drosophila fly platform, it's, it's there, it's manipulative, it's something we can study if, even if it's not exactly where we want to be at the end of the day. So, if you're trying to do a vibrotactile sensation, this is basically what you got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, this, this, these are the knobs you can turn, that's what you can do. And then you have the end user, and the end user is thinking of things like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this is a really urgent signal or, uh, that this thing feels chunky or I, it sounds like a motorcycle or I, I, I want it to be something that I can feel when I'm running and I'm sweating and my body is moving around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, uh, this, these, these are very different than what the designer has to work with. And so this is a big disconnect. And, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of what we've tried to do is say, well, is there some way you can bridge that disconnect? Can we actually make a design language that is closer to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What this guy is thinking rather than what this guy is forced to think right now. Can you let this guy work in this language?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so what would that take? So this is, uh, one piece of work that my former PhD student now, Dr. Saifi, she's at Max Planck Institute now, uh, did, was, uh, working with a visualization expert, tried to get past the fact that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being able to attach metadata to them through a great deal of user studies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Metaphors and usage examples of these after a great deal of talking to users seem to be the ways that you could sort all the different words and terminology that people would use, uh, when they're, she was in the context of end user customization when she was doing this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That that would be, that that would cover the bases. And then if you could actually rate, she created a large library.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sensation, the, the time course of it, a graphical thing and you can actually play it on a detector. And so the idea is that this, this is a browsing interface that we then could use. It was the product of a lot of research, but then we could actually use it in a lot of research. And this highly understood library is something that we have, it's an asset that we used and it's, it's available online.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, is actually being used by a couple of companies. So that is an, an example of browsing, but it has terrible limits. For example, you can't modify, you can't move. If you actually want a sensation that's halfway between a couple of things, we don't have any way


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do in later work, but as the time of this library, you couldn't say I have a sensation here and here and I actually want something part way in a perceptual morph between them. And that is something that we have done since then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, editing and sharing would be another design activity that we see. So, so part of this was really, we, we were making all these tools over the years and we started to say, well, let's actually try and locate our tools in these different design stages and see what is special about these different design stages. That was a browse tool. But then in detail design, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, here's one that another recent PhD student Oliver Schneider built. Oliver is now on the job market. Hint, hint. Uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and he's, he built macaron, he likes to name all his work after cookies, it turns out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was about use of examples in design and see how people's design process change depending on their access to examples, both at a superficial level and a deep level if you actually opened the examples up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's an example of what a tool like that might look for, look like. This is where you don't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, so the point there was that he actually made something where we, we actually took the same, the same vibrotactile stimuli that were collected in that other library and made them available in an editing tool so that you can go and actually open them up


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he actually studied through immense amount of qualitative work, watched people on a design task and segmented the different things they were doing and looked at how the activities changed depending on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as a refinement as opposed to the initial sketching part and we have some other tools that were more for the sketching part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's just a couple of examples of different things we can do here. We have tools that are in all of these sections, quite a few that I can't, uh, for time actually talk about. But I want to talk about the create step in a different context that's not vibrotactile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, which is more, we, we, we have done all this work on, uh, robots that you touch, uh, affective robots. And I'm going to use that example to talk about the create design stage and some of the tools that we've developed there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, affective touch, sorry, giving another little bit of background. So we've done all this work on communication, functional communication with vibrotactile signals and other things and there's immense amounts of stuff we've done on attention and learning, uh, your ability to learn signals, uh, and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, the whole thing about affective touch started around 2010 when we started, I started to read and notice literature about, you know, studies where we'd see that, uh, you know, people's outcomes after cardiac surgery were highly linked to the fact of whether they had a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dog at home or not and trying to say well was that because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much of it could have been the touching part? And, and if some of it was due to the touching part, what was going on there, and how would you study that, and can you reproduce it? And I'm just curious, okay? Didn't even have any applications in mind, we're just curious. And about the same time I had a PhD student,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, come and want to work with me, a potential PhD student. And his story was, uh, this was in 2009. Steve Yohannon, he sat in my office and he says, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had this girlfriend and she had a cat and I really liked the cat and then the girlfriend left me and I really missed the cat and I'm trying to figure out what it was about the cat that was so important and I thought okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and of course at the time it was kind of weird but now there's a lot of people looking at affective robots. But that was a, a process where we actually went and built a number of robots over the years and tried to actually study these in a robot platform. And so I'm gonna give you first the dead simple,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Model of human-robot interaction that we proposed in 2009 and have not finished squeezing the juice out of it yet. It looks simple but it's not. Okay, so here's the idea is that, uh, you have the person and you have the robot and, uh, the person does this simple thing which,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just, it's like imagine there's a dog over here but we're making it be a robot and you touch your pet, you do something, you display emotion in some way through your hand to the robot. What does the robot do? The robot has to perceive the touch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And somehow decide what that touch is. The robot has to decide what that touch means. What did the person intend by that touch? Was it a happy touch? Was it an affection touch? Was it a corrective touch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They might have very limited display capabilities, they might have very powerful display capabilities, but somehow robot needs to translate to I'm going to display this emotion and then this is how I'm going to do it given what I have available to me. And then the human does the same thing and perceives and processes and reacts and so you have this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Virtuous loop going on where they're both affecting each other. It's bi-directional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe, just maybe you can actually deliberately change what's happening in here as a result of what you're doing over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we can actually zoom in on one of these things at a time and try and break the problem down a little bit. And so we built robots and we studied this part and we studied that part and then we tried very carefully to put them together and do a loop and see if we could make something happen there. And I don't have time to talk in great depth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About all these things, there's about six or eight papers and chunks of work and a whole bunch of robots involved here. But the answer was that yes, we were able to break a lot of these things down and we were able to do it. I should first back up, can- in this room, can I assume that everyone knows what affect is? Raise your hand if you kinda know what affect is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So most but not a hundred percent. So has anyone, has everyone, maybe not everyone has seen, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Model of affect. This is one, this is a version of one of the most common models of affect that's out there. It's a very simple model. It doesn't capture everything. It captures some things to a useful degree. So you have two dimensional, two dimensions, arousal and valence, which basically is saying, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which direction and how much, how strong. A third dimension that is sometimes used is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, where, where you have a more aggressive aspect to a high arousal negative valence emotion. And you can imagine when you think about a robot that you're making, you might build a robot that is capable of displaying distress, but to have the capacity to display


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rage or anger or hostility, you might actually need different degrees of freedom else. We have not yet built a robot that has teeth or hackles. Well actually we have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but we haven't gotten there yet. So, so one of the, some of the challenges we have just purely building, building these robots and making them work as experimental machines were to be rendering an recognizable emotion state on the robot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we built, uh, this was, came into being around 2010. What we had to work with then was, uh, FSRs, force sensitive resistors, pasted on a fiberglass shell. We call this the, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On sensing, uh, because, uh, at the time, you can obviously see what the issues here are gonna be, not only are the problems with the tactility on it, it doesn't feel right with the, with the fiberglass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best we could do at the time with the technology, and we did a lot of research on that, you could buy, uh, very high quality flexible sensors at the time for robot fingertip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they cost something on the- a few thousand per square centimeter. And when I wanted to just saran wrap a large surface, and I didn't want to pay $50,000 to do so. And so that was just not avail- and I didn't need that kind of resolution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the display side, this robot could make breathing movements. It could do something with the ears that expressed arousal and it had a heartbeat and it sounds very simple. We iterated a lot with many other haptic sketches to arrive at those and you would be surprised how well it worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using this robot, we were able to render emotions recognizably into all the quadrants of that affect grid. Uh, but, and that was like, yay, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Autism, and I bet this would really be great for them. I'm saying, oh how? And what would you do with it? And they would say, oh well, you should talk to my doctor, and the doctor wouldn't be a researcher, and that would be the end of it. And, and, uh, meanwhile,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were saying, well that's interesting and we got interested in anxiety disorders and we started to work with kids with anxiety disorders. The challenge there was we wanted, well there's two challenges. One was that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so maybe you can sympathize with me on this one. So I had a situation where, okay, I want to get a kid really stressed out and see if I can calm them down. And.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, one thing was that kids don't follow instructions. I should have seen that one coming as a parent of ages, uh, kids in this age. But, uh, so, so it's very hard to make them follow a experimental protocol. That didn't go too well. But also, it's hard to actually get them into a state of deep anxiety so that we could actually then try and give them


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we thought was a pill that would calm them down, essentially an interaction here. We tried lots of things and about all we could manage was to get them into a flow state which worked really well but wasn't what we were after. So we ended up going back and working with adults which we could take more liberties with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and, and, uh, found some great results in terms of being able to actually change their emotional state and discovered in the process that the breathing motions


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, there was something going on with the breathing that was very powerful and very hard-wired. And, uh, so much so that we now have another spin-off project which is in its final stages of clinical trials right now in,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pediatric intensive care unit at, uh, uh, Maine Children's Hospital in BC, uh, which is basically this thing turned inside out. It's now just a platform that goes up and down and you put it in the, uh, incubator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leads to negative outcomes. This breathing motion actually mitigates those pain responses and the baby does not have those adverse effects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we basically have shown that we can get the same benefits in a premature infant of being on the mother, of being on a moving platform. So can we actually duplicate and reproduce some of the effects of haptic touch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a machine, it appears that we can, even if you don't have any emotional attachment to the machine and it's just a hardwired motion.

[Assistant] Uhm, at this point we thought well we need two things differently. We need interaction design, we need to actually- also one of the things we learned from the kids was that when you, uh, show them the robot, this first one,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could show them this one, and they say, oh, I love it, and I want to pick it up, and I hold it, and they talk about it, and then they say, where is it from? What is it? Why does it have any eyes? Uhm, what is that cord? What's tail? Why is this tail plugged into the wall?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, people bring a story or you have to give a story. It doesn't matter. There needs to be some kind of a story. And later, more recently, there's a paper we have at CHI coming out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which we've taken this line quite a bit further is that we can have a very strong influence on how you interpret the emotion rendering based on the narrative that is applied to the robot. So any ambiguity gets resolved by-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the person thinks is going on and either the person brings a narrative or I give the narrative but there is a story and that is the frame in which you interpret what's happening here. Which is exactly what people do. If you're trying to decide when your partner comes down for breakfast in the morning and they're grumpy, uhm, are they just tired and had a bad night's sleep or is he mad at me for something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, so we wanted to build- do interaction design instead of rendering these static emotions. And so we needed to say, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we developed a new use case which was, we're trying to access, uh, stress out kids. We found a great solution, which was actually to go into the children's, uh, intensive care, the, when,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The waiting room for pediatric surgery, the anesthesiologist wanted help. They said the kids come in, they're terrified, we have to stick a needle in them and make them go to sleep and if they fight us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is bad. They have, uh, they don't go under easily and then the surgery doesn't go as well and the recovery is not as good. If we can actually calm them down without having to give them drugs, that would be great. And if you have a way to do that, that would be awesome. So we said, great. We don't have to stress the kids out. They're already stressed out. And so are their parents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so we thought, well, if we're gonna do this in this environment, we, we need a real robot, not just one that computer science grad students are building. And so we went to a professional design firm and said, we want this thing and I can give you engineering specs, but I'd rather we kind of figure out, you know, open the box and try and think of new ways to do it. It needs to,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was go- they thought this was a really fun project. They usually built, uh, medical instruments and things like that. So the hospital environment didn't phase them at all. But uhm, they really did not-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, instead we decided to go back, it, it was not effective in displaying emotion, it was just kinda weird, the things didn't work together. So we embarked on a whole other journey, which was to let's just take one degree of freedom at a time, and just really understand all the things you could do with it. And for that we needed to do a very iterative process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think this one has sound in it. So this was at CHI last year. And so this is my student Paul Bitchy mostly along with a couple of other students in the group. And the idea was to use haptic sketching and actually develop design systems that we could quickly iterate. So even you bring a subject in and they didn't like something, we could build another one right on the spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he ended up coming up with a couple of models and the idea here is he wanted something that's very cheap and quick to iterate but also is robust. And so, so generally he went to this family of flexures so there's some compliance in the mechanism in the, in the body and it wants to spring back to a particular shape and then he used the motor to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then what you have is this really cheap motor that doesn't have to be very fast or
