[Assistant] Didn't speed up too much in the second half, didn't show too much in the way of signs of channeling. Uh, I was pretty happy with the shots that I got from this thing. I think there's a couple of really neat, clever little things here. Adjusting the grind is very easy, very intuitive. The spacing between sort of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you should be pretty calibrated grinder to grinder to grinder. Now this wasn't perfect for me, but it was a pretty good starting place and a pretty good idea. I think certainly you have way more calibration than you would do with most typical grinders that just have a selection of random numbers from zero to nine that you're somewhere on at some point. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Overall pretty happy, and I spent most of the time pulling shots in the middle of the espresso region. In terms of things that I didn't like as much, I wish this held a little bit more coffee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because sometimes I wanted to make a large batch of coffee with this. I'll often make a liter of coffee and I wanted to use it for filter coffee. And it performs pretty well for filter coffee. Again, my preference might be for Flatberg grinders, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really enjoyed the coffee I got from this, but you can just sort of get about 50-55 grams in here. I kind of wish it was just a nice even 60.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just me. Now, if you do want to grind for sort of a medium sized batch of filter from a half liter up to a liter, you're going to be too coarse for the dial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is a bit of a shame. I know some people have started putting dots on the other side of their dials to sort of track where they're going with coarser grind settings. And I think that might be an interesting improvement for the future. And I suppose one of the bigger complaints that I have with this is that it does suffer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Popcorning a little bit towards the end of grinding a shot. So those last few beans, as they're grinding, tend to bounce around quite a lot, can take a little while to sort of suck them through. You're looking at at least a 20 second grind time, uh, for 18 to 20 grams of coffee. So it's, it's relatively slow, but not so slow that that's a problem for me if I was pulling shots at home or anywhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it does popcorn a little bit. And that means those, those beans do grind in a way a little bit coarser than the other beans, which.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damage the shots generally, but if you, if you compared, let's say, uh, 18 grams of coffee that had not popcorned at all by let's say grinding 25 grams and stopping early.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really know what the answer is, but I do know that popcorning does change your grind a little bit, and so the more popcorning there is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, grinding through like this in any grinder that you'll grind through, uh, will produce a small variance in grind setting as a result of the last beans having no force behind them, kind of driving them into the burrs, no weight of coffee behind them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true on an EK, that's true if you single dosed a Mythos, that's true if you single dosed sort of anything really, like a Baratza grinder or something like that. Those last few beans on any grinder will popcorn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In some cases, they popcorn more than others. That's all. So that's something I'd like to see addressed in the future, and also I'd be interested to see if they ever do build a flat burr version of this grinder. That would get me very excited indeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should give you a summary, right? Like I should give you a summary of how I feel. And to be honest,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Charmed. I feel charmed by this Granda. I just really like it. I like the way it's built. I like the design thinking behind it. I think it's really enjoyable to use. If you said, how does it stack up against a Malkunig EK43?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I would say that's a very dangerous question to ask, because the EK is a nice set of burrs, accidentally designed by Malkoenig at some point, attached to not a particularly compelling grinder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The EK is not beautiful, it's heavy, it's expensive, it's not particularly pleasurable to use. It has a nice set of burs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a pleasure to use. This sort of highlights a lot of the flaws of a grinder like the EK because of its ease and pleasure of use. And I'll give you an example of just what feels nice and simple. I got a bag of coffee from a friend and just a small bag and I wanted to dial it in. And so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, I would dose 18 and a half grams, grind 18 and a half grams, pull a shot, and make an adjustment that's necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's so little that you don't need to purge between grind adjustments, right? I would adjust the grind and just grind a fresh dough straight afterwards. And I had no issues with that. It meant that very quickly, very easily, I could dial in to exactly where I needed to be with almost no excessive waste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So from a waste perspective, it's pretty great. The retention is certainly low enough for me to be very, very happy with it. I don't think there's any issues with this retention. It's just, it's just a pleasure to use. And so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the way that this works is that Patreon, that fund each month lets me go and buy equipment to review independently, but I want to keep this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To give away to Patreon backers, and this one I'm going to keep. I kind of just want it around. There's a lot of uses for a grinder like this for me. And it's rare that I want to add to my collection of stuff. It's rare that I want one more piece of kit in my life. I have enough stuff. The whole point of Patreon is to give it away. I don't want to accumulate endless stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I kind of like that I get to give away a brand new one and it could be white or black and they can choose. I'm going to keep this one though. Overall, I'm impressed as a sort of first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enthusiastic about it to other people which has got to be a pretty good sign. So there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is my review of the Niche Zero. Do you have a niche? Do you have one of these? How is your experience so far? Are you seeing less coffee wastage? Are you happy with the shots that you're getting? Does the popcorning drive you crazy or does it not bother you at all? Are you brewing filter coffee? What kind of results are you having?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts in the comments down below. Please share them with all of us. That's it for today, so I'll say thank you so much for watching, and I hope you have a great day.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he was your age, he left home for Paris to make his fortune. Now, he is a powerful and famous man. He is the captain of the musketeers who guard our great king. Take this letter to him and ask him for work. Work hard and work with honor, my son.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he wakes up, put him on his yellow horse and tell him to go back to where he came from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the crazy young man awake yet? He awoke for just a moment before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said I will tell Mr. Treville of this insult to his old friend's son. Then the young man fell unconscious again. Treville?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a letter in one of them to Mr. Treville in Paris. Did you take the letter out of his coat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I put it back into his pocket. Not my affair, really. His coat is in the kitchen. If this crazy young man annoys you, I can... He annoys me greatly. Now, prepare my horse at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am curious to know what is written in this letter to Treville.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The day we moved, I thought everyone would be sad, but it was just the opposite. Mama seemed to be the happiest one of all. I could hear her laughing and joking with my sisters as they packed things. She had a glow in her eyes I had never seen before, and it made me feel good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I even noticed a change in Papa. He didn't have that whipped look on his face any more. He was in high spirits as we carried the furniture out to our wagon. After the last item was stored in the wagon, Papa helped Mama to the spring seat and we were ready to go. Papa? Would you mind waiting a few minutes, I asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to say good-bye to my dogs. Sure, he said smiling. We have plenty of time, go right ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nearing the graves I saw something different. It looked like a wild bush had grown up and practically covered the two little mounds. It made me angry to think that an old bush would dare grow so close to the graves. I took out my knife intending to cut it down. When I walked up close enough to see what it was, I sucked in a mouthful of air and stopped. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There between the graves a beautiful red fern had sprung up from the rich mountain soil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was fully two feet tall, and its long red leaves had reached out in rainbow arches curved over the graves of my dogs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had heard the old Indian legend about the red fern, how a little Indian boy and girl were lost in the blizzard and had frozen to death. In the spring, when they were found, a beautiful red fern had grown up between their two bodies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The story went on to say that only an angel could plant the seeds of a red fern and that they never died where one grew that spot was sacred.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remembering the meaning of the legend, I turned and started hollering for Mama.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mama, I shouted, come here, and hurry, you won't believe it. In a frightened voice, she shouted back, What is it, Billy? Are you all right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm alright mama, I shouted, but hurry, you just won't believe it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holding her long skirt in her hand, and with a frightened look on her face, Mama came puffing up the hillside. Close behind her came Papa and my sisters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is it, Billy? Mama asked in a scared voice. Are you all right? Look, I said, pointing at the red fern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Staring wide-eyed, Mama gasped and covered her mouth with her hand. I heard her say, almost in a whisper, Oh, it's a red fern, a sacred red fern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She walked over and very tenderly started fingering the long red leaves. In an odd voice she said, all my life I've wanted to see one. Now I have. It's almost unbelievable. Don't touch it, Mama, my oldest sister whispered. It was planted by an angel. Mama smiled and asked, have you heard the legend?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, mama, my sister said. Grandma told me the story, and I believe it, too. With a serious look on his face, Papa said, These hills are full of legends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up until now I've never paid much attention to them, but now I don't know. Perhaps there is something to the legend of the red fern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe this is God's way of helping Billy understand why his dogs died.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure it is, Papa, I said, and I do understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel different now, and I don't hurt any more. Come, Mama said, let's go back to the wagon. Billy wants to be alone with his dogs for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just as they turned to leave, I heard Papa murmur in a low voice, Wonderful indeed is the work of our Lord.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I stood looking at the two graves I noticed things I hadn't seen before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wild violets, roosterheads and mountain daisies had completely covered the two little mounds. As summer breeze gushed down from the rugged hills, I felt its warm caress as it fanned my face. It hummed a tune in the underbrush and rustled the leaves on the huge red oak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If God made room in heaven for all good dogs, I know he made a special place for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a heavy heart I turned and walked away. I knew that as long as I lived I'd never forget the two little graves in the sacred red fern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not far from our home, the road wound its way up and over a hill. At the top, Papa stopped the team. We all stood up and looked back. It was a beautiful sight. One I'll never forget.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I stood and looked at the home of my birth, it looked sad and lonely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no spiral of lazy blue smoke twisting from the rock chimney, no white leghorn hen chasing a June bug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No horse or cow standing with head down and tail switching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw I had left the door to the barn loft open, a tuft of hay hung out, it wavered gently in the warm summer breeze.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something scurried across the vacant yard and disappeared under the barn. It was Sammy, our house cat. I heard my little sister say in a choking voice, Mommy, we forgot Sammy. There was no answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the left, I could see our fields and the zigzag lines of rail fences. Farther down, I could see the shimmering whiteness of the tall sycamores. My vision blurred as tears came to my eyes. The sorrowful silence was broken by my mother's voice. She asked, Billy, can you see it? See what, Mama? I asked. The red fern, she said. My older sister spoke up. I can see it, she said. Rubbing my eyes, I looked to the hillside above our home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In all its wild beauty, a waving red banner in a carpet of green, it seemed to be saying, goodbye, and don't worry, I'll be here always.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hearing a sniffling, I turned around. My three little sisters had started crying. Mama said something to Papa. I heard the jingle of the trace chains as they tightened in the single trees. Our wagon moved on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have never been back to the Ozarks. All I have left are my dreams and memories, but if God is willing someday I'd like to go back, back to those beautiful hills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to walk again on trails I walked in my boyhood days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once again I'd like to face a mountain breeze and smell the wonderful scent of the red buds and pawpaws in the dog woods. With my hands I'd like to caress the cool white bark of a sycamore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to take a walk far back in the flinty hills and search for a souvenir, an old double-bitted axe stuck deep in the side of a white oak tree. I know the handle has long since rotted away with time. Perhaps the rusty frame of a coal-oil lantern still hangs there on the blade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to pause under the beautiful red oaks where my sisters and I played in our childhood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to walk up the hillside to the graves of my dogs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure the red fern has grown and has completely covered the two little mounds. I know it is still there, hiding its secret beneath those long red leaves. But it wouldn't be hidden from me, for part of my life is buried there too.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not crystal meth, the actual drug, but a person who calls himself crystal meth. And we'll address this strange nickname later on. But, so Craig, first off, uhm. What's up? Where the fuck you from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And how, uh, how long have you been doing this music thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, so Lil B made you feel like what, like you could be weird, like you could fuckin', what about his character and his personality, uh, inspired you to think that you could be a rapper as well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But were you a weird kid? Did you not feel like rapping was, being a rapper was like a real serious option for you when you were younger because you were kinda different?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was totally changing what people thought was possible for rappers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because nobody had ever talked about killing their mom and even white rappers, nobody had ever had a white rapper that they took seriously at the time especially.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So when did you start Soundcloud and stuff like that? Is like, is the music that's on your Soundcloud the first stuff that you put on Soundcloud?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But so was your dad's side of the family that were all like into rap and stuff, were they supportive of you rapping?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when we look at the songs that are on your Soundcloud, are those actually a product of them like helping you out with that kind of stuff, or is this mostly you on your own?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you have a totally different style than what I would assume they are probably into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you listen to some random song that you like on Soundcloud, there's a good chance that the next one they show you is gonna be something with-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10,000 plays, but it might just be fire, you know, it's kinda crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when, uh, what else, like after that incident, what else has helped you to kind of get some attention to your music initially?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first song I heard, and it was through SoundCloud, was that Coombe song. Yeaah. So, how far along in your kind of, uh, attention, your, your, your music career was that, when I've noticed that and put it in some Come Up video?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's probably like the most easily noticeable thing about your music is that it's very aggressive and you tend to kind of yell to a certain extent. Was that like a specific moment where you realized that you wanted to take it in that direction?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make sure to close the door the whole way. Thank you, Crystal Meth. So yeaah. Still gotta figure out what that nickname's all about. You know, Brandon Beegan and the Scooter homies are showing up. But, uh, fuck, well, I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rehab experience though, like fucking, what did you learn in there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I assume because you were so young, this is probably the first time that you ever heard anyone, like, tell you these kind of things. Like, you probably had never heard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People talking to you the way that they talk to you in rehab about, you know, being positive and about your life because you probably had never even been that familiar with the concept of addiction and that it might have this deeply rooted cause, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so even when you got out, was it still like a real struggle for you to, uh, stay clean and stuff? Did you have all these people trying to come around you again and shit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. Yeaah. That's dope. Uh, you told me when I first met you at that show, you said that there was like an Xavier quote from his interview that you, that you were moved by where he said something about how, how you're gonna get poppin', making music. You just gotta make one good song and then just keep doing it over and over and over and just focus on the music, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Wait, how the- what were we talking about that related to Tyler for a second here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what I knew you for. December. What was the quote exactly? I'm looking it up. Craig Zen, 2016, breakthrough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want to retweet it right now, just for history's sake. I can't find it though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breakthrough wrong by chance? Let's see. Oh, you only have eight-six tw- You only have a few tweaks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't let me kill your motivation here with this conversation that we were just having.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tyler, what attracted you to Craig in the first place? What made you see his talent? Pause. Oh, he's still mad at this kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But did you ever see yourself having like a rapper that you would be promoting and shit? Yes. You always thought that this might be something that you would discover?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's dope. I think there's a lot of kids out there that would be real motivated by that because, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The gas feels amazing. It's so cool. It's just like fake boobs where you're kind of grossed out by it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, uh, your interview exploded. It got on Complex. Complex made a video about it. The video- Your interview has almost 100,000 views at this time. Uh, how has your life changed since you were on No Jumper?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's probably just too many options for you. Like, you know, that's kinda how I- I put a couple of tweets saying I was looking for a no jumper intern to help with social media and I got like a hundred emails and it's just overwhelming. You feel so bad going through them and like deleting them. Cause there's kids who seem legitimately talented and I'm just like, well you didn't include that much information so I'm gonna delete it, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta meet him, because I took a screenshot of his YouTube comment where he said, he said something like, I invented this internet shit, even though I ain't poppin' it anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, well, no, actually, as pizza started a bad trend there by writing on the table, we're trying to eliminate that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, stickers fine. I'm thinking about taking all the stickers off this table though because everybody's getting all opportunistic, like you see these LFS stickers on the other side, this is BMX crew, they came through. Everybody realizes that this is good product placement so they're kind of going in with the stickers, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you think it'll just help make you stray from your path?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had no social life for the fucking, when I was starting the BMX website and shit, when I was doing all that stuff, dude, I was on the computer fucking every minute of the day. Like I didn't fucking party, drink, nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it was to sleep in. Why, because you stay at your girl's house, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you requested that one. It's different than the kids that were swimming up in the DMs looking for the super radical internship or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good kids, yeaah. Alright, well to everybody who watched, uh, search Greg Zen on Twitter, Instagram, uh, Soundcloud, check out the tunes, Tyler Grosso, you already know about him, Crystal Meth, underscore, is that it?

[Assistant] She's had a very unhappy life up to now, Marilla. She can help you in the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can get a boy from the village to help me on the farm. What do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marilla thought for a long time. Alright, she said in the end. I agree. The poor child can stay. I'll look after her. Matthew smiled happily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be as good and kind to her as you can, Marilla. I think she needs a lot of love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? Bad Boy, Cyrax, you know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember like, my sister's boyfriend used to rap and shit. He was cool with that nigga. I was with her one day and I was in the studio with that nigga. That nigga cool, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soundcloud. That was it, you just put it on Soundcloud and you start to get the momentum? Yeaah. It's crazy how that works. It was first like, like our friends was fucking with us, but for real, like in Richmond, ain't nobody gonna like, you know, like really put their all into something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, we was just fucking with his beats and shit, and like, he was just always sending us shit, but like, it was just one day, like, this nigga had made a song on one of his beats, and that shit just took off, so, like, it was just everything that we made with that nigga was a hit, and he was cool too, like, you know, like, I get along with that nigga, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My shit man, I just be having ideas for like certain shit, like if I wanna do something, I'ma make sure like that shit happens the way I picture that shit in my mind, feel me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's why that song is amazing cause you can relate to it. Talk about anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you drive a little faster? What's with these people who drive like 15 miles an hour? I understand this is a... Beep! Beep!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is gonna be with us in about 15 minutes. I love De'Quel and he saved my bacon a number of times when he played for the Browns. I'll explain more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, when I saw that game on the schedule, I went nuts. Battle of Ohio. It hasn't, think about it. How often have the Bengals and Browns been good in the same year? Not very often. It very rarely happens. You gotta go back to Bernie and Boomer. Right? It's almost never happened since then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're the two best teams in the division. Uh, we never know, but I, with the big caveat that if Deshaun Watson plays. Sure. If Deshaun Watson plays 17 games, I believe, and we were talking about this before the show, Bengals and Browns are neck and neck. Sure. And that Halloween Monday night in Cleveland? Oh my God, that's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright Jay, I got my numbers, uh, if they have Deshaun Watson for the whole season, I got Brown, the Browns going 10 and 7. Okay. If they, if, uh, they don't have him for the first 8 games, I have them going 8 and 9.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, now fortunately their early season schedule is favorable, otherwise I would have had that record even worse. Because I, you know, I think Jacoby Percent will play the games if Watson doesn't play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a serviceable player, but he's not that good. I think he'll be able to get just enough wins considering the competition, but obviously I'd like him to win two more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great insight obviously into the locker room from the quill. I think in the end, Baker's gonna get traded before it comes to this anyway. He's a good quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, you did. You did. You brought it every game. We loved watching you play. DeQuel, getting back to the Browns record, your prediction, like, I had the lowest prediction on the dais. Even if Deshaun Watson plays, I had them going 10 and 7. And it's not because I don't think Deshaun Watson's great, because I agree with everybody. He's one of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if he's the fourth best, or the fifth best, or the third, or the sixth, whatever. He's one of the elite quarterbacks in the league. However, as you alluded to earlier, the division is loaded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole top, I don't know if we've seen a better AFC. There are so many great quarterbacks. I don't know that any team in the AFC, cause these guys, Brad picked the Browns to win 13 with the shot and I'm like, there's so many good teams. How's anybody going to win 13 this year in the AFC? It's too tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that the league seems, I feel like that's kind of happened with linebacker too. When I was a kid, right, I'm 50. When I was a kid, you know, Lawrence Taylor and all these, I grew up in New York, all these great giants linebackers. Like I felt like linebacker as a kid, maybe I'm misremembering, that was like the most important position. The middle linebacker was nothing more important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's looking good in that picture. My god, man. He's such a good looking guy. G and I were talking about this the other day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DeQuel, when you come to Cleveland, or if you have a friend that says, hey, DeQuel, I'm going to Cleveland, give me a restaurant I gotta go to, or a place I gotta hang out with, what's your go-to spot that you advise people to go to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dequel, Marvel, Star Wars, or neither?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good one. Okay, there's a lot of different ways. That's a good one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Peyton Hillis, I had him on a radio interview about six months ago, and I thought he was back bleep crazy. Like he was out of his mind, and he did some wacky stuff when he was here in Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was this guy like in the, I know it's a little out of turn here, we've moved on, but I gotta know this before. What was he like in the locker room?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you look at the three best players on the Browns, I'll leave Watson out of it for now because he hasn't played. Betonio, Chubb, Garrett, none of them are that type of guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my ultimate Cleveland memory is when the Cavs won the championship and the day of the parade. It was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And it's incredible to me. I was just saying to my mother yesterday, I said, you know, G and I have known each other a long time, but because he was working a full-time job, he could never fill in in the afternoons. So we didn't actually work together that often. I've known him for years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm having an absolute ball. I never thought I'd want to do TV. And when Steve called me about this project,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I already know you two guys were involved and then you guys both reached out to me and I was like, this sounds like so much fun. And I know you guys are saying it already. I've had such a ball. It's lived up. Such a ball this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, as a relative newcomer, even though it's 11 years to Cleveland, what I say to people is, when they say something bad, like my friends say something bad once in a while about Cleveland, take a shot, and I always say, well, what is it that you don't like about Cleveland? And they're like, well, I don't know, I've never been there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and Anthony played in college together, of course, at Northwestern, and Anthony had a great reputation coming to Cleveland. Remember, his teammates in Indy were crying when he left Indianapolis. That's how much they loved him. Greg, speaking specifically of Baker though, obviously it's been a tumultuous offseason for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you, I mean we know, well first of all, what was your reaction when you heard about the Deshaun Watson trade? And do you think Baker will still be here in training camp?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greg getting ready to go to work, you know. Hey, Greg, on the field, getting back on the field here for a minute, because you had a tremendous rookie season, you're part of an excellent backfield, you were banged up a little bit, Denzel's, you know, guys have been banged up, but you got so much talent there. What was, two things, one,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did you learn from Denzel, who just got obviously a huge extension, well deserved, great player? And two, what was your welcome to the NFL moment?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greg, what's it like playing behind Myles Garrett? Cause we watch him and we're like, my God, this guy is such a freak. He's one of the greatest athletes I think I've ever seen in my life. He's a physical specimen that can't be matched playing with Myles Garrett. What's that like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jose Ramirez, I've been saying for a while, he's one of the 10 best players in the league. You guys were arguing with me a couple of weeks ago. He's been one of the 10 best players. He's even underrated by you, a giant Guardians fan. He would be the MVP to me, although I think voting for an MVP in baseball in five weeks is stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to assume that Sean's going to be playing for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the NFL. Good point. And the spread reflects, I believe, the unknown. Because if we knew for sure Watson was playing, they'd be favored by a touchdown. I agree, and I'm gonna take


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as you guys have alluded to, we should just say it real quick. I know we gotta go. Can you imagine a goal line situation where I got the Sean Watson under center and Chubb and Hunt both behind. Good luck. I got three stud running backs.

[Assistant] Stories are shared from east to west to south. Stories of perseverance, of family, of love. If a story brings us together, it's what matters most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recognize that feeling? It is the feeling of being together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enjoying the company of a familiar face and sharing moments that matter to you, to me, to us. What matters to some could impact all of us, especially in a place like Northeast Ohio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's say I moved to Norway, and they were like super rich in Norway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the Osbournes changed it for America. Really. Like I feel like once people watched the first reality like family show with Osbournes like saying fuck to everyone in the family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they still like loved each other and like had each other's backs and stuff like that. Then all of a sudden it's like, oh, maybe this isn't the worst thing in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so, Andy- Wait, are you more successful than the guys that were dicks to you now? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you paint a picture or break down the current climate in terms of skater YouTube vloggers and who leans more towards, did they all, did most of them transfer to all vlogging? Do some of them still appear as skaters? There's not a lot of vloggers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was the name of my second emo album. The algorithm is bringing everyone down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, or, or, or everyone presumes this band is the best band and they draw the biggest crowds but maybe they don't ever been to a show or whatever. No, it's just like, go prove it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody at home, go walk down your street for five minutes holding the camera, a busy street, and then see if you can talk to that the whole time in an uninterrupted and in a natural way. It's a hard thing to do. You're gonna be like, who's looking at me? What am I saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even at 6000 subscribers, I still got a friend who gets recognized in my Instagram comments cause of the, a few vlogs. That's dope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scooters are huge. I think the formula, if there is one, is you start with some kind of interesting sub-genre hobby, you know, like you have a certain skill or a trade, like you literally could probably be like an axe craftsman or something, you know, especially like crafting or a welder. Dude, prank?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, when I was 15, I was like, how do you even talk to girls? You know, I'm watching YouTube, I'm like, oh, this guy does some shit I'm interested in and knows how to talk to a girl and says some funny shit, gives you a little more confidence, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If someone's opinion was like that, like my race was like less superior to their race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you, did you find as you're, as you were coming up that like girls were actually coming up to you, hitting you up, DMing you, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The five percent, shout out to the five percent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think he was targeting you because he saw you filming or he watched the vlogs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pro- well, I don't know. You want that new Brazilian chick? Go ahead, sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, it's just normal. Okay. My friend just walks all the way in and just like a full fly in. Wait, who are you guys trying to see?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it was someone big and we were stoked on it. Leonardo DiCaprio. It was like maybe at about that level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do the intro and then all of a sudden it's fucking on and the pictures are coming out and all that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well the interesting thing about how Adam's setting his shit up is like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's doing this shit. So he's feeding off your base, you know? So his goal is like, even if Adam- Everything's a collab, you know? Even if he just vlog, like fades, then he can hopefully keep no jumper going, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wanna go next level? Bring your girl into the vlog right now and make the tandem couple vlog. And even when you break up, vlog the whole break up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, because it's also yourself, you know? You could actually get really hurt. She could be cheating. Yeaah. Right now. Right. She could be. Always. Remember that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where did we draw the line? Are you allowed to vlog a funeral?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I also know that like humans lie and there's a lot of like finessing and there's a lot of like personal... I don't know, there's just like a bunch of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fucking shit out there with like individuals, you know? And like you said, like there's a certain, you know, maybe narcissism or ego that takes someone to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, think that they're interesting enough to be like on camera all day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, childhood experiences and some of it can be driven from some like more


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evil type shit, I don't know, you know? And so like, I don't know, I just feel like there's scammers out there scamming. What were we?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In your life, if you had a regular nine to five that was, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just could turn your mind off after work and come home and be like in your relationships and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so funny that you said two opposite things. It's a very private thing that you have to broadcast the entire world. So it's you and your camera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I was gonna say is that like, I think that I did like 56 vlogs in a row, and like, it was just like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, yeaah, it's, it's, we had a mega breakthrough today, which I think was really interesting, you know, five seconds ago or whatever, where you guys said that like, I'm super private, but everything's public, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's cultivated a very savage brand. And the haters are just gonna keep saying crazy things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't even matter, dude. All my vlogs were very soothing, very calm. Everyone said it was like sitting on their grandma's couch was a good description. I was just quiet, walking around. Kay, I had to go to Walmart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. Oh yea, no, they eat it up. And especially when it comes from like a super hot person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Duke Hudkins. Thank you very much, Mr. Hudkins. I, uh, I don't get sat on every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't mean there's any reflection on Sammy, of course, but Gwendolyn can jump ten feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course the only, the only trouble with Gwendolyn is nobody can see her but me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm always early for buses. Trains too. It's just the way I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All that ways across the country. What do I get for it? Gold City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know, but when you haven't even seen a waterfall with one delight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I guess I better go up for a hotel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Funny, last night for a while I thought he was just about the nicest fella I'd ever met.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I, I don't think so. It sounds lonesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, it's just a cold in the nose. I've had plenty of cold in the nose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's the most unusual man I ever met.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you go on, I'll stay here, and if anything happens, I'll let Duke know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right here. Gonna have a little home-cooked dinner for change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, all we've been together and all the fun we've had and everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you better put me down, Duke. I, uh, I want to introduce you to my friends. Uh, Mr. Hudkins, this is Mr. Stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started my international travels. Melbourne was the first place I visited in the entire world and every time I visited, it's been both instructive and inspirational to see how, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vibrant and a vibrant community, which is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Top temples in terms of all, in terms of manifesting the multifacetedness of Krishna Consciousness. And I believe that you have been there for almost three decades now, three or four decades as a consistent leader. So maybe you could start with how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You came to you, how you have been associated with Melbourne project and how it has taken shape over the years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's break that down one by one. So, probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there are many distinguishing factors, but if we start with the, you mentioned about the kitchen and the food distribution. So I have known, uh, that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even some of my friends who are not devotees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prabhupada did talk about that, I think it was in Mayapur and then that is a, something which, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it require a lot of energy to prepare that much prasad and to get the funds for it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that take a lot of the temple devotees or temple management's energy or once the system is set up, it moves on its own reasonably well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I am in Govardhan Eco Village right now here and here also they have started Anna Kshetra where free food is distributed for visitors. I think the dynamic is very different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it that we attract a particular kind of crowd by that? Do we try to control it? Because that's one challenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is this challenge that we are attracting a good number of people from the Indian diaspora, but also attracting local people. Sometimes these two initiatives are separated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we can have a separate centre for western out region, separate centre for more temple outreach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was making this point that actually there are aspects of Indian culture which can also attract people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they're mostly Indians connect, they were easy to connect with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it is difficult to have a common platform. But over the years, the temple and its atmosphere has become a common platform not just for Indians, but for people from very diverse backgrounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The various programs, you said they tried to bring the Indian and the local audiences also together. So are, is it, uh, once they have started practicing Bhakti to a particular extent, then, uh, that, then you, then that happens naturally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because say with respect to Indian audiences, often there have been quite a few courses designed. Like there is the Essence of Bhagavad Gita course or Sixth Session Gita course or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you, are there some courses designed for western outreach also to cultivate people? Or how do we decide that now this western, these local audiences are mature enough to blend with the Indian audiences? It's an individual decision?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on the person, knowing the person or is it like there is some objective criteria?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the 80s, I think our, during Prabhupada's time, our movement was very successful in the Western world and in Australia also we were having literally minting devotees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I think the 80s, we had a significant, uh, we could say a little of destabilization or turbulence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you said that you took over the, you got the, took the leadership in 90s, around 90.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what are the some things you specifically had to do to shift the focus?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, no, actually I have interrupted you. So the thing is that with respect to food distribution,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, it's become like iconically associated with this con now to some extent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I am not yet, but I have interacted with him. He is wonderful. Email another place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay, makes sense. Yeah, I've seen, yeah. So basically,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with other social levels of, uh, uh, uh, social influential bodies. So when you talk about multiculturalism,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that also mean that you actively interface with as a, do you present yourself as a Hindu group or as Hare Krishna within Hindu or just Hare Krishna? How do you position yourself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a very systematic, I could say systematic theological presentation and also even, I could say even systematic practice of, systematic set of practices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so what you're trying to say is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have to, with maturity we will basically understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, how to present Prabhupada, how to fulfil Prabhupada's purpose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not just, uh, take one quote here or one statement there and think that just by quoting this, I'm being faithful to Prabhupada. Am I getting you right? What are you saying? Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of integrating with, uh, on one side we identify ourselves as, we could say, we identify ourselves as Hindus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at the same time, we can also say that it's not that we identify with everything within Hinduism. We are like a specific tradition with specific practices and specific ideologies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That when there is greater education, then we can have a more nuanced understanding and presentation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But without proper education, it's very easy to have a 1-0 kind of thing. We are Hindus or we are not Hindus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a striking way of putting it. Yes, so, overall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, uh, if we are not cautious,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are open to various cultures, but they also become very closed if you criticize anybody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this is an interesting way of looking at it that we, if we are Madhyamadikaris,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's beautifully put. So here you're talking about unity in terms of comparing this united with what exactly? With V as a movement staying united or, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's nice. I think what you earlier talked about the environment of the atmosphere, that's what, that makes a key difference in terms of helping people to navigate that journey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you mean some kind of a mentoring system or just having loving relationships or what do you mean by that or some devotee cares programs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, waiting for them to take it up at their pace. Do you also need some kind of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Training for the devotees who are taking care of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because a lot will, because you know, as a leader, you may have a particular vision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it seems that overall prasadam is a very important part of our culture and uh, and it's not just in the beginning but it's throughout, but as we grow,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then it's not so, our own focus shifts and the service attitude comes in more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where we see prasad as something which is enjoyable for ourselves but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So through this has been a very multifaceted and illuminating talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, generally toward the end, I tried to summarize what we discussed. Would you like to add some concluding points now or should I summarize and then we can, then you can add something at the end if you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it was, uh, I'll just try to please summarize. We started by discussing about your journey and how you took up the leadership in Melbourne and broadly speaking with the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The food distribution as a starting play point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With that, we are able to, especially when you are in a good location, you can attract quality people. And then we take them on the journey systematically. So two, three important points we discussed was about how both, there was this historical shift when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Focused on contacting with Indian people in the 80s and the 90s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's also endeavors to connect with, uh, local, local people and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, with the, with the multicultural ethos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We get a place on the table very relatively easily and we give the government support, like you talked about the support provided by the government for various food, uh, the food outreach initiatives. At the same time, the critical approach, if we criticize too much,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we may, we may end up alienating people. Prabhupada could do it at his, because of his spiritual treasure, because of the kind of times he was in. In today's world, the point is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not so much quoting Prabhupada or using quoting Prabhupada's critical statements as fulfilling Prabhupada's purpose. And that means we need maturity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also need shastric study and education like Bhakti Shastri and others which will help us appreciate that our position is not one or zero. It is more of a Chinti Bheda Bheda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And which aspect, which aspect to emphasize when bhed or abhed, that requires maturity to understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the last one, and that idea that prasad, the distribution is actually an extension of Deity worship. That's such a beautiful devotional meditation. We see that in Chaitanya Charita Amrit constantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that is, that gives, it's not just humanitarian outreach, although the world may appreciate it from that perspective. For us, it is an integral part of Bhakti culture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then ultimately the prasad that we are offering is not just the food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, thank you very much for your time and association. I look forward to having more of your associations in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if professor have any, any questions on, on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I also noticed some questions in the chat. Uh, I will, I will look through. That's a very long chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When people were asked, what do they think the main cause of the Civil War is, 48% said mainly about states' rights. Only 38% said mainly about slavery. 9% said both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I teach because I like to ask questions that students must struggle to answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world is full of right answers to bad questions. While teaching I sometimes find good questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I teach because I enjoy finding ways of getting myself and my students out of the ivory tower and into the real world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I once taught a course called Self-Reliance in a Technological Society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we also set up a corporation, borrowed money, purchased a rundown house,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And practice the self-reliance by renovating it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end of the semester, we sold the house, repaid our loan, paid our taxes, and distributed the profits among the group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So teaching gives me pace and variety and challenge and the opportunity to keep on learning. I have left out, however,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who labored at her dissertation on a little-known 14th century poet


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wrote articles and sent them off to learn journals. She did it all herself, with an occasional nudge from me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I was there when she finished her dissertation, learned that her articles were accepted


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got a job and want a fellowship to Harvard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is Jane, who left college, but was brought back by her classmates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was there when she came back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The State Department asked me to go as an emissary to Bosnia-Herzegovina to reinforce the importance of the Dayton Peace Accords, which had been signed in November.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gains on the ground by the Croat-Muslim coalition that the US had helped support, coupled with NATO airstrikes that Bill had advocated, finally forced the Serbs to negotiate a settlement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bill and I discussed whether Chelsea should skip the Bosnia leg of the trip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We weighed the security risks and decided that if we took appropriate precautions, she and I would be fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After landing at the Tuzla Air Base, Chelsea and I flew in Black Hawk helicopters to visit soldiers in forward positions. We touched down at Camp Bedrock and Camp Alisha, Army outposts in northeastern Bosnia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We watched our troops demonstrate how they were clearing mines from the fields and roads. A grim mission and another reminder of the precarious life our soldiers led.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many voices back home were raising questions about America's role in Bosnia. One lieutenant told me he hadn't understood the role the United States could play until he saw Bosnia for himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we came he said, it was hard to fathom what was going on here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go out in the villages and see all the damage he told me. You see roofs blown off of houses. You see whole neighborhoods that were completely bombed out. You see people who had to survive for years with hardly any food to eat or water to drink. But now, wherever we go, the kids wave at us and smile, he told me. To me, that's reason enough to be here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the usual media rules applied, no interviews with Chelsea, no unauthorized photos, she was obviously feeling more self-assured and playful on this trip than ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we visited U.S. troops stationed in Aviano, Chelsea demonstrated her elan. She joined me in posing for pictures with a group of Air Force pilots and mechanics. As we walked away, a voice hollered from behind us, Hey Chelsea, how's your driving going?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wheeled around to answer the young man in combat fatigues who obviously had been following her recent press coverage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's alright, she said, smiling. She walked a bit further, then turned around again and shouted. Beware if you come to DC!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This trip left lasting impressions on Chelsea and me. We were so proud of our men and women in uniform, who exemplified the best of America's values and diversity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the people of the Balkans needed further evidence of the benefits of pluralism, all they had to do was sit at a table in the Massachusetts, surrounded by an array of skin colors, religions, accents, and attitudes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This diversity is one of America's strengths, and it could be theirs as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before wrapping up the trip in Istanbul and Athens, we flew from Turkey's capital, Ankara, to Ephesus, an ancient Greek city on Turkey's southern coast that has been beautifully restored. It was a flawless day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sunny and clear with breathtaking views of the coastline and the blue-green Aegean Sea below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember thinking what a perfect day it was for flying and what a perfect moment to be alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I arrived back in Washington on the last day of March, physically tired but filled with information and impressions to share with Bill. The problems I saw made the ongoing sagas in Washington seem small and inconsequential. And the sagas continued. But for a change, Ken Starr was under scrutiny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In an editorial critical of the Office of the Independent Council, the New York Times chastised Starr for continuing in his million dollar a year private law practice while investigating the White House.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sudden burst of unfavorable press had no noticeable effect on Star.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was dismayed by the double standard that protected Starr and his patrons from accountability, while the conservative faction openly played the conflict of interest card to eliminate nonpartisan jurists and investigators.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt terrible that former Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker and his wife Betty had been caught up in Star's fishing expedition. Despite Star's effort, Jim Guy wouldn't lie about us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This didn't prevent Starr from pushing ahead with another indictment that put Tucker on trial with Jim and Susan McDougall in Little Rock, Arkansas in March 1996.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the accusations against them could be traced to David Hale, a shady Arkansas Republican businessman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hale was an accomplished thief and a con artist, and he was motivated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was cooperating with Star in hopes of avoiding a long prison sentence for his previous crimes. The Small Business Administration, which had lent Hales Company millions of dollars intended to benefit small businesses and low-income people, reported that it had lost $3.4 million due to Hales' improper activities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His sentencing was postponed until just before the McDougall Tucker trial two years later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your new teacher, Miss Stacy, spoke to me yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She says, you must study for the examinations for Queen's College in two years time. Then if you do well...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can study at Queen's in Charlottetown for a year. And after that, you'll be a teacher. Oh, Marilla! I'd love to be a teacher! But won't it be very expensive? That doesn't matter, Anne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Matthew and I adopted you three years ago, we decided to look after you as well as we could. Of course we'll pay for you to study.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anne and some of her friends stayed late at school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Miss Stacy helped them with the special examination work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Diana didn't want to go to Queen's, so she went home early, but Gilbert stayed. He and Anne still never spoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everybody knew that they were enemies, because they both wanted to be first in the examination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am was sorry that she and Gilbert weren't friends. But it was too late now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For two years, Anne studied hard at school. She enjoyed learning. And Miss Stacey was pleased with her. But she didn't study all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the evenings and at weekends, she visited her friends, or walked through the fields with Diana, or sat talking to Matthew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your Anne is a big girl now. She's taller than you. Rachel Lynde told Marilla one day. You're right, Rachel, said Marilla in surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she's a very good girl now, isn't she? She doesn't get into trouble these days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure she helps you a lot with the housework, Marilla. Yes. I don't know what I'd do without her. Said Marilla, smiling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And look at her. Those beautiful grey eyes and that red brown hair. You know, Marilla?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought you and Matthew made a mistake when you adopted her. But now I see I was wrong. You've looked after her very well. Well, thank you, Rachel, replied Marilla pleased.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make matters worse, he said he was going to go after the NRA and Trump as if our shared politics makes his sexual assault okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know who else is sexually harassing women every day? Unpowerful men, like bus drivers and hot dogs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it's physical harassment or a passing inappropriate comment, this is something women deal with every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've decided I'm going to give the NRA my full attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really must find some time to remove some of these dead blooms. Perhaps you'd be good enough to help me sometime. Yes, of course I will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shame upon you. Marianne, the poor man is quite free to have other acquaintances, is he not? No, he is not. None that take precedence over us, anyhow. Never mind, Edward, we will forgive you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For one night only. But I thought at least a week. However, we must count ourselves lucky that we have you at all, I suppose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's nothing wrong with like thinking like an evil demonic ass nigga, but like, you know, like actually going out on some of the actions, you know, that's different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was telling him how like, how he does, like his music is like ignorant, but it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He takes it seriously. You know what I'm saying? It's not like you just going in there like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best response you can get from your music is kids mashing, people fucking arguing over the lyrics. That's the best response because that means that motherfuckers actually give a fuck about your shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some guy wants to pay fucking a hundred dollars and get his shit jerked off without fucking cuddling and, you know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all about timing though too, like I feel like you, I mean you, I'm, I don't want to speak for you, but I feel like you probably got your mind right now, and now you're like, you know, now it's time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even me, eh, Pat Annel? Sure, go ahead. Sound off if you want to. Well, to a great extent, Brad is right. And I don't say that just because I am Japanese. After all, we have learned something on this campus. And America is our second home. Even, perhaps, our destiny. But here, you think always of Europe. Never of Asia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yet there is where the greatest expansion of the next hundred years will take place. That is why we're sitting here. That's silly of myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that we can apply the best of American civilization to the problems of China, of Manchukuo, of Chosen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She'll bet out of the corner there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes they pick on kids because they need a victim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker, or just acts or appears different in some way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To feel more important, popular or in control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes kids torment others because that's the way they've been treated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They may think their behavior is normal because they come from families or other settings where everyone regularly gets angry and shouts or calls each other names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some popular TV shows even seem to promote meanness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are voted off, shunned and ridiculed for their appearance or lack of talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless your child tells you about bullying or has visible bruises or injuries, it can be difficult to figure out if it's happening. But there are some warning signs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Parents might notice kids acting differently or seeming anxious, or not eating sleeping well, or doing the things they usually enjoy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When kids seem moodier or more easily upset than usual,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or when they start avoiding certain situations like taking the bus to school, it might be because of a bully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you suspect bullying, but your child is reluctant to open up,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Find opportunities to bring up the issue in a more roundabout way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For instance, you might see a situation on a TV show and use it as a conversation starter by asking, would you think of this? Or would you think that person should have done? This might lead to questions like, have you ever seen this happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let your kids know that if they are being bullied or harassed or see it happening to someone else, it's important to talk to someone about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your child tells you about being bullied,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kids are often reluctant to tell adults about bullying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they feel embarrassed and ashamed that it's happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or worry that their parents will be disappointed, upset, angry, or reactive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Directly, that is to say, I took my pen in my hand to review that novel by a famous man


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She slipped behind me and whispered, My dear, you are a young woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are writing about a book that has been written by a man. Be sympathetic, be tender, flatter, deceive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Use all the arts and vials of our sex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own. Above all, be pure. And she made as if to guide my pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though the credit rightly belongs to some excellent ancestors of mine who left me a certain sum of money. Shall we say 500 pounds a year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that it was not necessary for me to depend solely on charm for my living.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I turned upon her and caught her by the throat. I did my best to kill her. My excuse, if I were to be held up in a court of law, would be that I acted in self-defense. Had I not killed her, she would have killed me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For as I found, directly I put pen to paper, you cannot review even a novel without having a mind of your own, without expressing what you think to be the truth about human relations, morality, sex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all these questions, according to the angel of the house, cannot be dealt with freely and openly by women. They must charm. They must conciliate. They must, to put it bluntly, tell lies, if they are to succeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus, whenever I felt the shadow of her wind or the radiance of her halo upon my page,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took up the ink pot and flew it at her. She died hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was always creeping back when I thought I had dispatched her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though I flattered myself that I killed her in the end, the struggle was severe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] or in roaming the world in search of adventures but it was a real experience


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Killing the angel in the house was part of the occupation of a woman writer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Poor Miss Woodhouse, if you like, but I can't say poor Miss Taylor. At the very least, she has only one to please now, not two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dear Emma, bears everything so well. But every friend of Miss Taylor's must be glad to see her married.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He should have come before this. Speak bluntly, mum, it is his plain duty to his father and to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apart from his disinclination to exert himself and do what he knows to be right,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is one thing a man can always do if he chooses, and that is his duty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I? Not at all. He's a person I never think of from one month's end to another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's her beauty, she always looks well, but as to her character...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you say. But you will not take the pains to aspire to true excellence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Miss Fairfax says she is tired, then we should have the courtesy to believe her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, in my turn, I'll admit I underestimated Harriet Smith. She has some first-rate qualities which Mrs Elton is totally without. An unpretending, single-minded, artless girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there is only one woman I could ever allow to invite what guest she pleased to don well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] May I ask what the joke was that caused so much entertainment on one side and so much distress on the other?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you were a little girl, it was an honor for you to be noticed by Miss Bates. Now it's the other way round. She is poor. She has sunk from the comfort she was born to. And you chose to humble her? To laugh at her openly and company?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A situation should secure your compassion, not your ridicule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't leave without seeing you. I'm going to London to spend a few days with John and Isabella. Have you anything to send or say? Besides the love which no one carries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miss Fairfax and Frank Churchill. I've heard it. I had a letter from Mr. Weston and came back directly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Abominable scoundrel. He will soon be gone. They will soon be in Yorkshire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he is a most fortunate man. Everything turns out for his good. He meets a young woman at a watering place, gains her affections, she consents to an engagement. He treats her abominably, she bears it like a saint. His aunt is in the way, his aunt dies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do envy him, Emma. In one respect I envy him very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dear sir, Emma and I have discussed this, and we have agreed there could be no question of Emma's leaving you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we understand you would be much happier here at Hartfield rather than removing to Donwell Abbey. Therefore...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll pay you one thousand dollars in gold and your expenses to take me to California. And two hundred each for your assistance. I make one reservation. The other wagons are to go with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there was any danger of my forgetting, Mr. Carson would constantly remind me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One more mountain to cross, and then California.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You probably feel a great satisfaction in demonstrating your strength and mastery on a girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes that Mr. Carson makes me so mad I could forget that I'm a lady. Is that why you're knitting those socks for him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I was hoping that we'd all be together all the way home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I started to look for you, I, I knew just what to say, but now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to do this then. I'm glad I waited until now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why did it have to be today? So soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quite a good looking girl. She's almost pretty today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now what could be a more innocent or harmless pastime for a young girl than reading?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read your diathlon straight through in two days with my hair standing up on end the whole time. I often think there's more life in truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps not quite so many murders and abductions. Broken hearts, betrayals, long held grudges, schemes of revenge, fear, hatred and despair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not part of all of our lives, even in Fullerton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing to be ashamed of. It's all God's creation. Come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're disappointed? You were hoping for my brother's company at Northanger perhaps?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you prepared to encounter all of its horrors?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's just the least of it. Dungeons and sliding panels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought I might show you Winston tomorrow, if you'd like to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did I? Have you discovered any dreadful revelations yet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A secret once explained loses all of its charms and all of its danger to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't you imagine the worst thing you can and write your own gothic romance about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Northanger Abbey would make a very good title, don't you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not since our mother died. And even before then, I envy you, your happy childhood. My brother Frederick is well enough, I think, sowing his wild oats, but soon he shall have to make a advantageous match. My sister is not happy. Remember the man we met on a country walk? He's a good friend of mine. He means a lot more than that to my sister. But our father,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I refuse to sanction the match. Edward is only a second son. And Eleanor must marry the heir to a rich estate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always hoped I'd be lucky. The girl I fell in love with would come with a fortune attached.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, that would be a very stern test of my character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps we better head back. I want to set off for Woodstone before nightfall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And from these circumstances you infer some negligence?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me reassure you, Catherine. My mother's illness was sudden. And Eleanor was from home, but I was here throughout. And so was my brother Frederick. Our mother received every possible attention. Our physician was satisfied that nothing more could be done for her. The matter was deeply distressing, as you may imagine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had had to bear a great deal from him, but when she was dead, he felt her loss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps after all, it is possible to read too many novels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no. It's I who should apologize. There's nothing you have said or thought that could justify the way you have been treated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your imagination may be overactive, but your instinct was true. Our mother did suffer grievously and at the hands of our father. Do you remember I spoke to a kind of vampirism?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps it was stupid to express it so, but we did watch him drain the life out of her with his coldness and his cruelty. He married her for her money, you see. She thought it was for love. It was a long time until she knew his heart was cold. No vampires, no blood. The worst crimes are the crimes of the heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should like to pay my respects. Perhaps Miss Moreland might show me the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He thought you were Mr. Allen's heiress, and he exaggerated Mr. Allen's wealth to my father. You were only guilty of not being as rich as you were supposed to be. For that, he turned you out of the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've broken with my father, Katherine. I may never speak to him again. What did he say to you? Let me instead tell you what I said to him. I told him that I felt myself bound to you. By honor, by affection,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before I go on, I should tell you, there's a pretty good chance he'll disinherit me. I fear I may never be a rich man, Catherine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom, what do you all do there? Are you not hungry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think I don't know. You think poor old ignorant woman like me living in a shack like this don't know nothing. But you're wrong, Pinky. I do know. And I know what you done. And you know I never told you pretend you is what you ain't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bless her heart, sometimes I think she always get her shoes extra big. Cause when they fit her just right, they pinch my bunion. And I'm mighty proud to have her close too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pleased to meet you, sir. I reckon you got things to talk about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes sir, sitting right there, like I always done when my pinky's out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kinda momma-like. Then she'd go off to sleep like she a little baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A business to sell goods and your money is as good as anybody's if it's honest money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think everyone in this courtroom understands what you mean, ma'am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you notice anything peculiar about a condition that day?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were there in the room when she was writing her will.


[User] Please transcribe this text
