[Assistant] I'll give you some time though, I'll give you some time. There's no way he wouldn't give you time. Yeah, see, now he's just kinda like, yeah, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this isn't gonna work. Come on, man. I believe in you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I remember correctly. Just gotta keep stabby stabbing. There's another, there's the other part that takes like one tiny little stab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. That's why, that's why Mr. God Man, Mordor, or whatever the fuck his name is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, so you gotta launch onto his elbow and stab it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, you got plenty of pink. Thanks bro. Pink for days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, Nightmare on Elm Street. What? Another one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You won't be happy next time on Game Grumps. Why is that? Because you'll be fighting the last colossus. Oh my god, am I finally there? Yes. Fuck. And you're- and he's hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, you know how, you know how big that like, uh, that serp, the flying serpent one was? Yeah. Imagine that, but up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I surmise upon the, uh, pies when I eat my guys out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather, add it in his mind that you might happen to drop in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he left word that he would soon be home from his afternoon's walk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is very regular in his walks, is my son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The warehousing, the warehousing, First over yonder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he took charge of me and he by little and little made out this elegant and beautiful


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And meet the sun halfway, there may be a fortune waiting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be a millionaire and a cheerful brook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On a mountainside is sad when I'm not there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I peeved when I forget.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So with all the things I have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But one fine spring I heard, a certain music in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you should have seen the null at all expression on July.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With my one and only heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably within about two or three weeks we got him in and he played on the pitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At stand, I mean, I was his coach probably at, I remember being at 12s, 14s, 16s. More or less every game we used to play and he was, he was always the best player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get that little feeling that you know, uh, this kid could be an Arsenal player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I joined the club way back in 1993. I was still doing a bit of scouting at the time and, uh, coaching as well and helping with the kit. So I was doing a little bit of everything because obviously there wasn't as many people as there is now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Years ago, when we first moved into Howlin', we thought it was wonderful, but looking back now, there was only two of us that was, uh, full-time. I can remember taking the team away to Chelsea or Spurs or something like that, and it was just me on the line with a physio. But, uh, we loved it, we enjoyed it, and that's how it was then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somewhere around about 2018, I went back on the recruitment and that's what I've been doing since then, uh, part-time scouting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I've done this now for 30 years, so I think by now I know what an Arsenal player should look like. I do get this gut feeling sometimes, well, you know, I like this kid. He looks like an Arsenal player. Someone said to me the other day, you know, you always say that Steve, he looks like an Arsenal player, but you just get that feeling. I suppose I've seen so many kids, I've worked with so many kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I look back at someone like Bakayo, I can remember when he was under 9. My mate said, go and have a look at the 9 Steve, see what you think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, real 100%, uh, as we call it in our champion mentality, you know, wanting to do well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eddie Nketiah was released from another Premier League side. I can remember the first night he'd come in would have been under, under, start of the under-15 season and he walked in with his head down and he'd come over and he shook hands and I said, are you Eddie? And he said, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, do me a favour, go out them gates and come back with your head held high. We're gonna give you a chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I'm out today to watch a right-sided centre-half. The boy's name is Maldini, funny enough. Big strong boy, he looks like he's got a great attitude. He's quick, he's decent on the ball, he can play. He's good in the air, wants to defend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm hoping when I do come back I can say that he's been, uh, he's been as good as what I thought he is. But we'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get that little feeling that you know, uh, this kid could be an Arsenal player. And I certainly feel that about the boy Maldini.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's my job, the camera down so a lot, everything's going well so far. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end of the day, you know, anyone will tell you that you want your defender to be a defender. You know, first and foremost, their job is to defend. And he can do that. He'll put his body on the line. He'll make them last-ditch tackles. And I think he's added that little bit of strength and still at the back that they was probably missing as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anytime that coach comes up and goes, Steve, we're signing the boy you brought in. It's always rewarding because it's Arsenal Football Club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I've seen so many kids over the years where they can come out and a few skills and they can drive out from the back into midfield and break the line and that's all lovely and they can hit a big diag, but can they defend? He can defend, he can do all them other bits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he can defend, he's a proper, he relishes defending. He has got lots of attributes that, uhm, are gonna help him to become a good young footballer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By 1902, Pearl was once more back in Chenkiang in their home on the hillside above the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ten years old now, she studied every day except Sunday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her mother taught her lessons in American and European history, literature, and art. But these seemed to belong to a different world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lessons her Chinese tutor, teacher Kang, taught her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Held much more interest and immediacy for the young girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teacher Kung taught her about his ethical beliefs and about Chinese history, as well as how to read and write in Chinese.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except for Sundays, he came precisely at two o'clock every afternoon that it didn't rain. After he and Pearl greeted each other politely, they sat down in the dining room of Pearl's home and Mr. Kung unwrapped with great care the book they would study for the next two hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Often, as they sat there together, Pearl wished that her teacher and her grandfather, Hermanus, could meet and be able to talk together, though of course that was impossible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This wish that people she loved could come to know and appreciate each other occupied much of her imagination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teacher Kung told Pearl that though there were now no obvious displays of hatred toward her family and Chen Qiang, the disturbances in China were not over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will white people be in danger again then? asked Pearl, upset at the prospect of having to leave once more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though Teacher Kung probably did not intend to be cruel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl put her head down on the table at which they sat. She sobbed as though her heart would break. What she had feared was true. The two worlds to which she belonged would never seem to be one whole, as they had seemed when she was a little child. She didn't cry just for herself, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She cried at the losses her friends and family had suffered too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She knew that Teacher Kung's ancestral home in Peking had been destroyed by German soldiers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She sobbed because her mother was even sadder now than when they had lived in China before. Edgar, Caroline's oldest child, now a grown man, had taken a job as a school principal and would make his home in the United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caroline knew she would only see him two or three more times in her lifetime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though Pearl's mother always tried hard to keep her spirits up, she was now quieter and more distant than she ever had been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two, her mother's hair was turning gray, though it was still soft and thick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl felt that this return to China was not a new beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But somehow the end of a story that included her first nine years of life, but stretched much further back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Across the years, as the Great Wall stretched across so many mountain ranges of this vast country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her teacher sat patiently with his young student until her sobs grew less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At last, the two of them returned to their work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teacher, will you tell me about Kuan Yin again, please? Pearl asked after the lesson was over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This goddess of mercy was her favorite of all the gods and goddesses she knew about, including the Virgin Mary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl had little trouble thinking of her favorite goddess as being in some aspects a god. She herself felt sometimes feminine, like her mother, and sometimes masculine, like her father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even at that young age, she had begun to understand that every human has qualities associated with both men and women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least those two worlds did not have to be as separate as East and West that seemed so separated by values, customs, and material interests.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at four o'clock, after teacher Kung had wrapped up his book again in a square of black silk,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl followed her teacher to the gate and waved goodbye to him in a lighter mood. Back inside, she picked up the novel she'd been reading, George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl knew that George Eliot's real name was Mary Ann Evans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She liked that a woman could write such interesting stories. Like herself, the heroine of this book, Maggie Tuliver, was torn between two worlds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maggie's two worlds were both in one place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A part of England that was changing from an old pastoral world to a new industrial one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Maggie's sadness and loss would have resonated with peril.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She liked George Eliot's books almost as much as she liked books by her favorite author, Charles Dickens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neither Elliot nor Dickens was as funny as the author of two American books she had read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Made her smile almost the whole time she was reading them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someday, she hoped, she would be able to write stories as full of wisdom, sadness, and laughter as the English, American, and Chinese novels she loved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These books piqued her interest in the stories of real people around her. She talked with family servants and friends of her family about their own lives and the lives of neighbors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All her life she kept this curiosity about people and their everyday concerns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The stories she heard in China taught her about the changing customs of that rapidly changing time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One custom that intrigued her was the old custom of foot binding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The practice was being abandoned, but even at this time, some parents still bound their daughters' feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Small feet were considered a feature of great beauty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each foot was tightly wrapped in cloth for a long time. The heel and toes of the bound foot bent under the arch of the foot. Wong's feet had been bound when she was young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the older daughters of one of Pearl's neighbors had bound feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It scared Pearl to think of the pain they must have suffered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She couldn't help staring sometimes as she watched the young women trying to be dainty as they hobbled from one room in the house to another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She thought it was good that many younger girls of her generation didn't have bound feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Partly this change came about because the Empress Dowager's feet hadn't been bound. She came from Manchuria.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She'd been so beautiful that she didn't need tiny feet to attract an emperor. During her long rule,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This intriguing woman influenced China in many ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Putting her own desires before the good of the nation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She spent too much on luxuries, but she declared foot binding illegal soon after the boxer uprising ended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Empress also opened public schools for boys and girls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl was glad to hear that now even poor children could go to school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl became so fascinated with sushi that many years later,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wrote about the indomitable Empress who had lived in the Forbidden City for many years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This story was only one of hundreds of stories she would write based on her experiences in China. But as a young girl


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All she knew was that one day she hoped to entertain others the way great storytellers have always entertained their audiences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] with interesting characters and eventful plots, sometimes tragic, sometimes comic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Kung hadn't been gone long when Caroline walked into the room where Pearl was reading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As soon as she put her book down and looked at her mother's face, the girl knew her mother had good news. We'll be going to Ku Ling soon, Caroline said. She had asked Absalom about leaving the city, and Absalom had given her a date for their departure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absalom knew how important it was to his wife's health to go into the mountains in the summer, away from the summer heat and its accompanying diseases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caroline's constitution was less hearty than his.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even strong constitutions sometimes succumbed to the diseases that were rife during the hot months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl couldn't know it at the time, but her beloved tutor, Mr. Kung, would die of cholera only three years later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Summer in Kuling was a big reason Pearl was glad to be back in China. She was always happy there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In part because her mother was happier in the highlands than in the lower-lying lands of the Yangtze River, near Chenqiang. She, her mother, her sister Grace, now three years old, and Ama Wang set out in early June for their summer home in the mountains of Lu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stopped and looked at me, saying rather sadly, David, you're serious, aren't you? I wish I were as good as you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the next two weeks, I was often with Peggy and Barkis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While Steerforth went sailing or fishing with Daniel and Ham, or found other things to do, so I did not see very much of him. Finally, we decided to return to London. While we were travelling back on the coach, I turned to say something, and was surprised to see how miserable he looked. Oh, David, he said unhappily, I wish I could control myself better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Performing Robinson. Guys, we got to get off all into this thing, man. Uh, one of the major prevailing news around everywhere is the Deshaun Watson situation. Obviously, the NFL Players Association has the ball in their court right now. We're looking at, you know, the NFL and they've already named


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A, a, a arbiter who is going to hear, uh, the new news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here we go in the screen. Former New Jersey Attorney General Peter C Harvey will hear the Deshaun Watson appeal. Now, OG, you know a little bit about this man. You know a little bit. He as being a political pundit as yourself and into the game. What do we know? And what are the fans need to know about Mr. Harvey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brad, what's the difference here with the NBA and the NFL, and what's the rationale? How did the NBA get to be a much bigger, or not, wouldn't say bigger, but how did it become more powerful? What along the way happened when you guys took back kind of that, that, that match?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you've got a rock between, between a rock and a hard place. And I think some of the times we don't under, we underestimate the NFL. They cold, they calculated, they played no games. And what they've really done essentially, if you really, this is, this is, you ain't slick Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had, they had what? 24, 26, 30 allegations with women in it. Do you think, do you, do you believe that it was just some sort of coincidence? It was Sue Robinson who happens to be a 25 year old or 25 year experienced judge that was presiding over that. Now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That wasn't good enough, so we gotta go get something else. And trust me, they've heard whisperings of people talking about discrimination in terms of the way they handle white owners and black players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think it's a coincidence, Brad, that now we have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guy on the diversity council. He's part of the black community. He's a Democrat. He fits all check all the boxes. So now when the verdict comes back, they can say, look, we fair. We did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now that we look at it, we fast forward, we look at what the play is, right? We understand what it is that the NFL is attempting to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My question is, what is the recourse for the NFL Players Association to get some sort of, right now they're just getting smoked. Right now they lost to Busby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's doing, he's, he's doing a whole perp walk right now. They lost to him. He's doing victory laps in the public. Now the NFL comes out the day before they even, the deadline was like, we're peeling. And the NFL players association is still radio silent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's in New York, I looked it up and you look at, and just to be clear, I dropped a video yesterday and when you say he's in trouble, I looked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Toe, head to toe. And one of the things that people don't know necessarily about, uh, appeals is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to go through enormous jump, like, like, gymnastics just to be able to appeal an arbiter's decision. The collective bargaining agreement says that once the new Harvey comes in, he does the evaluation and he reviews it


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what the matter is? The matter is, I'ma just be honest with you. In the words of Johnny Cochran.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it don't fit, you must have quit. I'ma be honest with you. See, the only part the league has, and I hope y'all watching,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been talking, he says, what is the, what is the map? What is the hammer? The hammer is a class action law school, lawsuit for discriminatory actions and practices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not just in punishments. I can give you five prongs in which the NFL has shown an egregious, uh, thought process about African-American quarterbacks, about African-American coaches, about African-American process. Let's just go to one. Flores is already in court. Discrimination against hiring practice because of the Rooney rule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? He's already there. He's already said if we take a look at the combination of all of the head coaching jobs in college and pro professional football, less than 10% of them go to black coaches, but 70% of the people that are playing the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know how difficult it is to win a collusion case? You have to have a literal smoking gun, which means


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Emails corroborating. Text messages corroborating. Phone records corroborating. The NFL settled with him before the discovery process. I'm pretty sure you can get some emails. I'm pretty sure you have some owners on record stating that they were colluding. We can go to three. Every year at the combine. How many times do we hear


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Owners and general managers ask your black people, black players, do you have two testicles? Is your mother gay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you prefer to shoot or stab somebody if you had a weapon? Off the chart questions!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's your, what's your, what's your sexual orientation? Okay, and that's on record. And then finally, which is the most damning of it is, you've been discriminating against black, black athletes, former black athletes, when it comes to the CTE concussion, uh, funding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over 50,000 cases and grievances were filed against, uh, uh, DNFL based on the fact that they assumed that black people were more or less cognitively aware or cognitively gifted or basically in layman's terms, they just weren't smart as white players. They've, they've agreed to it. So you got practices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You now have punishments. You have hiring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a, this is not just a one part program. This is systematic. And the only way this goes down is if the players association decides that they don't want to be buddy buddy no more and actually start representing the people that they get paid. Cause at this point, the more it's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think we're, and this is the biggest part for me, uhm, when I look at it. There's a lot of people who believe, oh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not holding the, the owners and the players to the same level. Yeah, I can't get that. I could get, I mean, but it's just, it's hypocrisy. You know how it goes. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. See, see, that's how it goes until you look up what the law is. The law states


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are opening yourself up for criminal and civil litigation when you basically say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to go to the nth degree on Deshaun Watson, but I ain't gonna mention the Texans. See, here's your problem. This is your problem. We have not, all them people, I would have asked you a question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ain't said one word about detections and you refuse, they skip over it like you didn't hear anything. They settled it and they went straight out the window. They had training camp, right? That's not hypocrisy. That's a breach of contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the ownership is listed in the collective bargaining agreement, that is a binding contract. If you do not have the same standards for both sides, then you're on breach of contract. If you are in breach of contract, I can then go to a court and say, I'll prove to you. That's for treatment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on desperate treatment and discrimination because I want, now I want to do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause my case, my case is this. What I would like to do is, I would like to look at, I would like to look at what type of process you went through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, see, we talk about process. I don't want, see, so we can, we can all stay on the same page here. Watch, we follow the rationale. We talk about process. So if we want to talk about process and compare possible, uh, process for disciplinary actions, right? I just go to court and say, I would like some discovery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you get that, you can then see that in 90% of those cases, they didn't even talk to them, didn't say anything, didn't issue a statement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now you have that to juxtapose with Deshaun Watson down, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, they're good. They are so good. Because what they do is, is they use that terminology, but it only describes the collective bargaining agreement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's talk about that, De'Quel. We, we, because to get to, to understand where Deshaun Watson is at right now, we got to take a look at context of how the DNFL Players Association


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna, you know, I'm gonna ask this question before we move on to training camp and actually talk about a little football. But it's very rare that you have four African-American people on TV at the same time who happen to be athletes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I can never get over this question. For me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a very difficult time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The media's focus, you just say something to quell that. Every single day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every single day. Every single day. Every single day we hear the same thing. You also said some people don't ever want this man to play again. My question is I got a hard time because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is the most disrespectful thing in the world to sit here and railroad and keep pointing and keep pointing when there's a whole organization that settled 30 claims themselves. The difference is what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One person is rich and very, very white. One person is young and very, very black. And the reason why there's not four people on television that look like this is because that don't matter either. That's skewed as well. At the end of the day, sometimes I feel like this is the new civil rights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like, yeaah, I learned about Martin Luther King. I learned about Malcolm X. I learned about all of that. I went to school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ayy, Ayy DeQuelt, man, uhm, I don't know if we can do this, uhm, I think we should all, like simultaneously, as posthumously as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Already from Jump Street. Go get me somebody else. And so now Jacoby Brissette has kinda stepped into that, that white hot spotlight behind center. Because here's the thing what people gonna say. We ain't give Baker no passes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, you know, I did a podcast. Shout out to Locked On Browns. If you ain't looking at Locked On Browns, you need to be subscribing to that. We, me and Jeff did a show today. We said, you know, there's a poll that says 54, 55% of the people right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, look, look at this swing. Now, so knowing all, uh, all you know now, if you could rewind back, uh, to January and undo everything, who was your pick as the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns for 2022? You go back to June, right? Um, June says, uh,

[Assistant] 66 or 68% of the people wanted Baker. Now you go to August. August started to look like the Tealys was changing. We had the six game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 54% of the fans, uh, would like to see Baker Mayfield in, uh, as quarterback. What do you, what do you, what's your take on that, De'Quil? I'm going to pose the same question to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, we're signing that paperwork. Let's get this paperwork come out here. And now they're like, I don't even know if I got, I don't even know if I can date no more. I don't got, where's this girlfriend that I was signing up for? See, it's always easier to get a job if you got a job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This could be the best of times or this could be the worst of times. Because look, I don't wanna, I ain't a doom and goon guy, but I gotta look at both sides of the picture. Now, the Houston Texans look like they done got away Scott Freeh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought, I thought that Kevin Stefanski


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but I can look at a crystal ball and see something different a little bit. Now think about this, like, Jacoby Brissette come out, he get off to a rough start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the, then the ruling comes down that Deshaun is suspended indefinitely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, you turn it around and you like, wow, we could be, have a top five black pick and they gotta give it to the Texans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, we been, listen, we got, we been, we go from De'Quel. Yeah. To one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of my mother's favorite players of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did like, like, I don't know. Every woman in my family loved this next man, Carlos Viagra from the, the, the, the iconic 90s Indians teams. Let me give him a round of applause. Carlos, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, it's great to talk to you, man. I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm first of all, I'm gonna say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that, they are never letting y'all go. They compare every team to you guys. Uhm, can you talk about, man, just off the top, the, the era? Like, did y'all know you was gonna be that good or, or what was the feeling and the vibe? Because we always felt like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That team just knew they was going to be good or that team just knew they was coming back. Like, what was it like in the locker room? Did y'all, when did you know that you were going to have a special group?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Carlos, you talk about the, the, the people you guys, uh, had in that lineup. I look at the personalities though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You look at, you know, uh, Eddie Murray, uh, Albert Bell, Kenny Lofton, uh, Dave Winfield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Dave Winfield, he's a jovial guy, right? But Dennis Martinez looked like he was all business too. How was it being in your locker room? Because you, you have the inside knowledge on him. You know, Albert, uh, didn't really, you know, he didn't really speak to the media all that much. Kenny, as he's gotten older, uh, you know, hasn't really spoken to the media much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was it like with those players? Because a lot of what we know, we just know from the field. How was it to be in the locker room? What kind of locker room guys were there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My producer McNuggets has a question for you, Carlos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I played baseball in high school and you never rarely ever see switch hitters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, given like an insight, uh, to, to some of the, maybe the, the, uh, novice fans or fans that don't know this, when did you know you had the ability to switch hit? Is that something you were just born with or do you just kind of work at it and you just figured out I could hit left handed or right handed? Is that something you developed or just got given the ability?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know Carlos, one of the things that we've seen is the Latin explosion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of, you know, I would say probably starting back in the 80s and early 90s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you tell us what that's like, the baseball life is like in Latin America? Here we have other competing sports like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Football and basketball, uh, you know, other things that we can do, but in Latin America, you know, baseball is still king. What was it like growing up, uh, there and what was it like the game as a young kid, uh, and how you developed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say this, and before we let you go, I do wanna say, Carlos, one of the things that I enjoyed best about y'all was your swag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We was wearing it just like that. Major League Baseball cats. And we started wearing them so much that they started having to blur them out on the music videos and, and we, we was putting them to the back like y'all was doing it, man. Did y'all know y'all was cool back in the day? Did you know you was cool?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Carlos, thank you so much for coming in. You were supposed to be in studio. The next time you in town, you got to come in and we got to get you in here, man. We got to definitely get you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cleveland Indians back then, they held it down for so many people. People don't know, like, people was, people was devastated. Like, the Browns left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember being in high school at that time, and me coming up, growing up playing football. Yea, I'm kinda old, man. I've been a little old. I was in high school, 95.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 96, my whole high school career, I was playing football with no team to watch. Oh yea, I remember. Nothing. And it was just tough, man. I, I, and I'ma tell you this, I was kind of a, you know, in the Browns left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They was the Ravens, and you know, it's just like, it's, once again, you know, you break up with your girl, you see her a couple more times, you know, yeaah. And then you be watching, I'm watching them, they have Vinny Testaverde and Viner and them and still, so I would still watch the Ravens until it was out of my system. And then about 97, I said I ain't watching them, no, I'm done with them. But the Indians, during that time period,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you talk about that lineup, when you talk about Lofton, Bayerga, we even, we forget guys like Paul Sorrento. We have guys that was tertiary guys, that wasn't really even the main dudes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that, that lineup is. They had a crew. It's just, it's the best line up I've ever seen. Of course they had a crew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, the Indians at the time was, was much watched TV. It was electric. It was like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like watching baseball players, but they was like basketball players. Right. Because they was putting numbers on the board. They was, they looked the part. They, they was intimidating. Iced out. Look, they, they wasn't playing no games, man. They would come in and intimidate you into giving them 15 runs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had Jacobs Field, right? State of the art. People used to, before that, we, you know, we would go to, my dad used to take us in, in a van because he was a hot soft, hot soft baseball coach. He'd take us to Pittsburgh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, man, you come up here to Cleveland, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Motivated Art Modell. When you look at it, the Gateway Project came.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they not only gave the Indians, you walked across the catwalk and you were right over in Gunderina. And we like, I'm like, man, this thing is decked out. Not only did they get that, they came with new uniforms. They came with the new uniforms, which is those Indians uniforms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, what, especially the blue ones, the alternate third blue with the red Indians across. It was iconic bro. I mean them, them uniforms along with the, with the pants and just how they was moving at that time and put it in perspective too. I don't think people understand this. Kenny Lofton had a signature shoe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, to put it in perspective, this is a baseball player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a signature Nike deal. Like it was him and Ken Griffey Jr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I feel like sometimes that the guardians today,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are still held to that level standard, right? It's like coming behind. It's like having your, your father be a, a all NBA player and then you just play high school and you ain't that good. You good, but not really. But you know, people always compare them to, to that era. And I think you'll never get there just because of the attendance levels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Browns is back now and I think it's a lot to do with a perfect storm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every victim of sexual assault is watching Roger Goodell in the NFL right now. Mr. Goodell, what will you do? It's never too late to do the right thing, and that's what these women are expecting. Now I'm gonna say this, and this just comes back to a couple of things, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is just, you know, that he's gonna say that and he's gonna do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My problem is, as Deshaun Watson, you should be wholly upset at where the hell is your lawyer at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the hell is your defense at? Where is the public statement? Where is anything at? He's cashing checks, just like Demora Smith is. Matter of fact, as a player union rep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you getting for- I done seen what Tyrus is paying and he ain't got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many, how many times have we seen you on camera, Mr. Smith?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We ain't seen you or Harden as these dudes tap dance all over and do victory laps. See, this comes back to you as a counselor. How skilled are you? Once somebody told me, and I'm not a lawyer, if the facts ain't on your side, what you do? You argue process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? So here's my thing, Mr. DeMora Smith. If I'm, if I'm coming to this, you know what's very powerful? You know what's very powerful is the league has a lawsuit in, in, in, in lawsuit against the, uh, uh, John Gruden, right? And John Gruden is, is telling people that, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why am I getting suspended? Why? I got fired wrongfully because of the emails that I sent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not about the process in which you got the emails. It's about what they called you, Mr. Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's a powerful thing to know that the, the, the, the Players Association's leader, top counsel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is in circles with NFL organization staff and owners and his name is being carried about with inflammatory words like big lips and all that other stuff now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you ain't got the facts on your side. You are your process. And this is the only thing we've been saying is the process is rigged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've done nothing. They put this man out here and he's getting destroyed by the media. He's getting, he's getting killed by Busby. Now you look at it now, they just overturning their stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knows right now Deshaun Watson can't protect himself. He knows he can't say anything. So my thought process is you just see what they, they over killing it, right? Cause here's what he doing. He's still got one person he gotta, he gotta go through the case with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is devastating. Because this is devastating because of one reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They always talk about precedence. Precedence. Precedence is deadly in this case, right? Because not only are they saying


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody don't even think about it like this. Y'all playing once again, we should not have to, the players association, we should not have to sit up here and give you the whole playbook. But here's what is going to happen. The league is setting it up to where you can get an indefinite ban depending on what somebody said. If you was alleged


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Financial impropriety. That's terrible. If you got, you got back taxes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you got inflammatory language, if somebody said you assaulted them, if you got any sort of lawsuit, not even criminal, they are saying to you under our vague policy that I could suspend you at will and you have nothing to say about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my thing is too, sometimes as a leader, if you gonna be at the head of the leader, what you gotta do is you gotta be the face of it. See, he can't be the face of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's my thing, why don't they, why don't, if you paying dues, why isn't part of the dues for the minister?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And why don't you put money in escrow that you can use financially to gain a return on an interest rate. And so if in the event of a lockout, you have disbursement checks for everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I like the fact that they got multiple, multiple alternates. They just get their money off like they want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a couple prospects, that was it, that was there. I mean, I, is that in the, they triple A, when you plan on moving some of them up, or what we doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Jay, now Jay, I would have pointed to Jay and said, give me a Champion Bay Buccaneer story. Cause he got like 9,000 of them. But I will say, uh, the Buccaneers is dope. And they got crazy. I like the fact that the decal is huge on the helmet too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like them. Tyvers, you got a problem with them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I would probably say I'm a, I like the, um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually like the Panthers logo kinda a little bit. Like, I like the colors in the pa- I think it's just big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People was dying for Raiders. For Raiders starter jackets. Them things came out and they was just like, it's sweat. You couldn't, as a matter of fact, the crazy thing about it is, uhm, ironically, if you, if you talk about California,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just wear black and neutral stuff. White hats are good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I looked at it, man, it was, it's hard to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you, you talk about 10 years of your life. Yeaah. And I was listening to her statement. And, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's heartbreaking sometimes because I don't think, I seriously don't think people understand that there's a set of rules you gotta, you gotta toe and they don't get it until you're there looking at them bars, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'ma stick on, I'ma stick on on message on here and we're gonna, we're not gonna take too long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna, uhm, I wanna talk to the industry as a whole, uhm, and this is the media. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been way overdue that somebody said this. It's been way overdue that somebody has to be accountable to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you in a big city and you in a market and when you, you, you were in a media and television, you're in a media and radio, y'all gotta understand that every single person


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's sitting in these rooms on camera, holding a camera, a microphone, lighting. I don't care what you do. You are here because you are a guest in the pantheon of sports. You are able to feed your family, create a brand,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are only here because of Deshaun Watson, because of Baker Mayfield, because of Miles Garrett, LeBron James, Michael Jordan. We are here as a guest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will live on forever. Their names will be in the books, bad, good, bad or indifferent. Ours, not so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are here to serve a slot. You are an ambassador to what the game in those talents are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's time out for media members and media people and higher ups not having an equal playing field. I don't want to go on TV and see everybody that looks the same. I don't want to turn the radio on and says everybody looks the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to hear opinions that echo the same sentiment. This is a major metropolitan city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the inner city people reflect a certain demographic. The people playing on the field serve a specific demographic. But every time we hear who the messengers are, who curates the narratives, who write the stories, who write the articles, they all look one way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you ask why the coverage is the same is because there's a lack of diversity in this industry. There's a lack of a different perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And until you have a different perspective and things are even, not even even just, it's just decent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're going to still have the same commentary that we've heard for two, three, four, five months about Deshaun Watson. You got people waking up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listening to other people in the echo chamber and echoing the same sentiments. So at the end of the day,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our job as media members is to do our research, to look at both sides, and to give you an accurate description of everything that we see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to do that, you need different perspectives, different mindsets, and different personalities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a shame, isn't it, that we can't ask one woman who has a radio show or a talk show who's talking about sports in this city about Deshaun Watson. That's a travesty. You don't have one woman you can go to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have one host that you can say, hey, you do a show about sports in the city of Cleveland. What do you think about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't got one African American female represented. There's only a couple African American males, Asian Americans, Latinos. All these people are missing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So until we get to a point where we can have different voices and places that we can bring and collectively come together, you still got the same old game. And it turns out that like OG said, it's rigged. That's all we got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Monday, Monday, right? Shoulder pads back on. I will be at camp, by the way. I'll be at camp doing a barbershop live. I'm going to give me some interviews. I'm going to pull up on a couple of fellas. Pull up. So we're going to pull up. We're going to have some interviews. We're going to do our thing. Uh, McNuggets, what do we got Monday? We got an itinerary Monday. Who coming on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we got about a 72 hour break. We gon' catch y'all later. And this is G. Bush, aka Black Swag, signing off from the 2023 Essence Festival.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What an attractive man. Is he married?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Too bad. But then the attractive ones always are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm from Waynesboro, PA, so that's like, yeah, it's far shit from everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't, I don't know. I think it's like two hours or something. Yea, it's probably two hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, that's a big reason why I did it. Like people be hatin' and shit and like talkin' hella shit, but I just be like, fuck it. I just do what I want, you feel me? I just do me. And I feel like that's what my like fans and people that do fuck with me, fuck with me, cause they like, yo, Sky's just gonna do what he wants. And I feel like they find that inspiring, you know what I mean, to do them. So, hell yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just be like, bruh, dead ass. I just be doing like, I just, you know what I mean? I don't know, bruh. I just go with the flow and shit. So like, but I know, I know, obviously when I get a FaceTime, like I can't get a job and shit, obviously, but the way I see it-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like some next level shit like that's would you get a big one or a small one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I just like watched the Cuffboy vlogs, like, it's random, but I just like watched their vlogs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like I was listening to Beach Town and then I seen like in the vlog that he was listening to like my one song, The Sauce, and I was like, yo, let's make something and we just linked. And it just worked. Yeah, we ain't really like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got like, I can't say how many we got now, but we got a good amount.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That ass though. I felt the same way. That ass. I told Lenin that. I was like, it's crazy. I said I was gonna do a mil in a month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I don't know. At first it was like super plain, but then I started adding shit. Like people think that that beat is like, we did a whole bunch of shit to that song. Like for real, like it was just a regular, like it was a, it's a dope ass beat, but like we added like sounds and like a whole bunch of weird shit to it that made it like way more fire. And I would say like we did spend like a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like maybe a couple days on that song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bro, it really all depends. Like me, I, like let me tell you, I have a lot of songs, but like I put a, they'll tell you like behind the songs that I put.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I take time on songs, you know what I mean? Like even when I work with producers, like I'll even just link with, like even recently I linked with a couple big producers and we're like, we'll listen to beats and like vibe and shit, but then it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm not in the zone, I just want to listen to the beat and vibe and listen to it for a couple of days and then work on it. Give it some time and like, yo, what am I going to say on this? How am I going to do that? I just like making solid songs, bro. That's the thing about me. I want to make like, like hit, like not hits. I would just say, you know, solid songs, everything that sounds good. You know what I mean? Like that's all I want to keep doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, like we don't, I'll just say like this, like we don't, and we're rappers like, I don't do like any like, like hard drugs and shit, you feel me? Nothing? Nah. So we only smoke weed, so that's it, it's a lot of weed smoking in the studio, and that's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell yea, bro. I'ma keep it real. I wanna, I guess it's like cool and shit. I feel like nowadays it's more cool to do shit, but I just like, I'm trying to like, you feel me? I wanna live. And especially if you wanna do good. I wanna feel good while I'm alive and shit. You feel me? Like while I'm here, I wanna be in the best condition I feel like I'm gonna be in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the thing, like, I don't have nothing against people to do, I'm just, like, me personally, I'm too, like, scared to even try this shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I can't do it bro. I just think about a bad trip or something if I tried a certain drug or this, that, something and I feel like I wouldn't even enjoy it. So I'm just like type person, I just don't even want to put myself in that position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah, I did a little thing, you know. Just some little shit, man. Some, some big things, you know what I mean? I can't say too much right now. Big things on the way, yeaah. Big things on the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm all, I'm all with it as long as it like, you know, it's making sense and what's going, you know what I mean? Like I would never just like sign some shit where it's like going to take away from a lot of what I'm doing and you know, like what I've been doing. Right. You know what I mean? I still want to like be creative and have creative control and all that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For sure, cause I like really love doing music, bro. Like besides all that extra shit, like everybody wants and all that lifestyle shit, I just love making music, so. It's just fun to be able to like, you know, make it like something that I do and I can like, you know, live off that shit and like, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

Yeah, bro. I go like crazy. I like to have fun, you feel me? And then like, I'm about to start doing more shit. Like I staged over a couple times and shit, but like, I should have did it last night, but I was like...

[Assistant] Grace was a little shocked by the cost of Pearl's wedding dress of Crepe de Chine and chiffon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yards of delicate lace from Shanghai had been ordered to trim Pearl's lingerie for her trousseau.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grace knew that, like their mother, Pearl loved beautiful things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually she satisfied this love by enjoying the beauty of flowers, trees, the landscape, and simple things well made and well taken care of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the wedding, Pearl indulged herself more than her sister thought wise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the ceremony, the newlyweds went to the Sudden Stricker's cottage in Kuling for their honeymoon. When they returned to Nansujo,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They moved into a four-room house with a black tiled roof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The house with its lawn and flower garden sat in the shelter of the city wall. For the first couple of years in Nansujo, Pearl enjoyed her role as Lossing's wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though she had servants, she gardened and did much of the housekeeping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She arranged the furniture and decorated the house, hanging yellow silk curtains and tinting the walls to match. She kept bees for their honey. She canned food, making jellies from haws and dates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She helped Lossing with his work by typing his correspondence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She also read aloud to him when his eyes bothered him from all the charts he had to read for his work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because she'd grown up speaking Chinese, she often acted as her husband's translator. She made new friends too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of them couldn't read or write, but she found them practical, intelligent and interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She joined in their celebrations and played with their babies and toddlers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the spring of 1918, her first spring in Nansujo, Pearl took delight in seeing the flat, dusty landscape change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grass and willow leaves added their green tinge to the tan countryside. In hot weather, the mirages fascinated her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She remembered walking on warm nights along the wide streets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're shops and houses lit by candles or bean oil lamps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl was expected to teach Christianity to women where she lived. She had to visit with women and talk about Christ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She and a Chinese woman convert went to nearby villages. They taught classes on hygiene and child care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During this period, some of her reports and letters were unflattering to the people they visited. She called the people wicked and heathen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She described them as inferior to Americans. This is difficult to understand


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever the reality of life there, many of Pearl's comments seem racist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe her attitude came partly from unexpressed anger or fear about her personal life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even in these early days of her marriage, she may have seen signs that she and her new husband weren't really compatible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this time in her life more than any other, she seemed torn between hating the Chinese people and loving them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wrote in these same letters that she was most impressed by the farm families outside the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lived closest to the earth and seemed the most truly human. She also felt sympathy for the farm women who seemed oppressed by tradition and poverty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These peasants, especially the women, would become heroes of many of her stories, including her greatest novel, The Good Earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Nansujo, as in other places, violence increased.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gun fights sometimes flared, and innocent people died.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl herself witnessed the death of a young woman shot in the stomach. She lay in the street pitifully crying for help, but no one could save her. Once a bullet whizzed past Lossing's head, narrowly missing him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a few years, Lossing's agricultural program lost its funding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luckily when he applied to teach at Nanking University he was accepted. Before the couple moved Pearl found out she was pregnant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though this was good news, the pregnancy posed health problems for her and the baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her doctor told her to move to Nanking right away so she could get better medical care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl hadn't been to Nanking since she was a child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she saw the big city wall, she was struck with its size and beauty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was 25 miles long and so wide automobiles could drive on top of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A tiered tower set on a square red building with a walkway through it. She was fond of that tower. It seemed like an old friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until Lossing arrived, she stayed with John Reisner, a dean at the university. His wife, Bertha, was pregnant too. The women made good company for each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They talked about names for their babies and shared ideas about the best ways to care for infants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While Pearl waited for her husband, she spent most of her time preparing their large gray brick house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To her delight, the new home had a bamboo grove and vegetable garden inside the wall surrounding it. In January, Lossing arrived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After he came, Pearl could leave occasionally to make the two hour trip by train to her parents' home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On these trips, she watched her mother grow more and more frail. Caroline's health had grown worse over the years and now her life was in jeopardy. Pearl had other worries too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The birth of her child had been expected in January. The infant wasn't born until March. Carol was a lively pretty baby. For a while Pearl took pleasure in motherhood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She didn't know until a year or so later that her daughter had a serious problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She didn't know the nature of Carol's disorder until years later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doctors of the time didn't recognize this disorder. As soon as the baby began drinking milk,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The baby's brain was affected because of a chemical interaction with the milk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the time the child was a toddler, signs of retardation appeared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today, every baby born in a modern hospital is tested for PKU.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Retardation can now be prevented in children with the disorder. Not yet knowing about her daughter's condition, Pearl enjoyed springtime in Nanking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the spring when the refugees living atop the city wall could return home, the wall was a wonderful place to walk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She often strolled there, admiring the countryside and distant mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She thought Purple Mountain spectacular, with royal blue flowers on its northern slopes and bamboo on its southern slopes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl began to teach English literature in the National University. She liked teaching there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though her students couldn't give their full attention to schoolwork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Japan was increasing its aggression and the government seemed unable to organize an effective defense against the island nation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Students were angry with the Chinese government, though not nearly so angry as they were at the Japanese.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Much later, one of Pearl's most famous stories, The Old Demon, would portray the courage, intelligence, and kindness of an old woman who drowns herself in a heroic effort


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the moment however, Pearl's students went about their studies as best they could. They hoped the city wouldn't be invaded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In October 1921, Pearl's mother faced death from her illness. Though Pearl had visited Caroline often, she couldn't bring herself to go into the room where her mother lay in a coma near death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She waited in the hall while Grace and Absalom went into the bedroom to see Caroline alive one last time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wrote first about her mother so Carol would someday know what her grandmother was like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She completed the story of her mother's life and put the pages in a box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not knowing that the story would become a well-known biography of her mother, the exile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She sealed the box and placed it in a high wall closet to keep safe. When Carol was old enough, the girl would read it herself, Pearl hoped. Pearl was ready to begin writing seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of her responsibilities, she could only write in spare moments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seventy-year-old Absalom came to live with Pearl and Lossing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also Pearl was worried about Carol, who was not developing as she should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alongside these worries was the sense that her peaceful life was about to end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only because of family problems but because of political changes around her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a while her life continued peacefully enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In summer, she visited Lotus Lake where she went boating with friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fragrance of the lotus blossoms wafted sweetly through the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she went to the market, she bought cool melons from vendors who sat in the shady archway of the drum tower. She even found time to write a short essay telling about her recent experience in China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Atlantic Monthly, a major American magazine, accepted her article and published it. This article, titled In China Too, told about what was happening in the country. She described its peacefulness and beauty


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she talked about the dramatic changes its people were going through a decade after the birth of the republic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First, she describes a typical young girl and her change in attitude from submissive and sweet to brash and questioning. She bemoans the girl's refusal to follow tradition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then however she describes the good qualities that come with the girl's study of science, history, literature, languages, and mathematics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The essay concludes that changes in attitude are necessary in the struggle for a better life. She writes


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the winds then with my slow conservative soul and love of old time reverence and manners, for the world is marching on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl and Lawson took their daughter, Carol, to the United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the year they spent there, they lived in Ithaca, NY.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then she remembered a story she'd written about a Chinese man who marries an American woman and brings her home to his family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She revised the story and sent it to Asia Magazine, which accepted it and paid her $100.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl accomplished a lot during this visit to America. She earned a master's degree and began her writing career in earnest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She and Lossing adopted a three-month-old girl who hadn't gained an ounce in the orphanage since she'd been born. Consequently,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl boarded the ship to return to China with mixed feelings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Satisfaction with her academic and literary successes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Disappointment that her biological daughter would never develop mentally beyond childhood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joy over her adopted daughter's rapid weight gain since coming to stay with the Bucks. Sorrow at leaving the country in which she was born. As always, she was eager to return to her adopted country.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We all agree, good bet, we don't have to argue with that. Okay, let's go to the next one. Anthony, that was not you, that was me. Next one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a good bad bet. We're gonna run through a couple of last things real quick. Tony Busby is holding a press conference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we also gotta talk LeBron real quick. Especially with Jason here. Jason, today's the first day LeBron can re-sign with the Lakers. And if he doesn't, what does that mean?

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] G Bush, in response to your final take, I got a text from Tyvis, that I can read on air. He says, quote,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gee, I'm never going to repeat shoes this year. And I wear a chain all the time. I just never have it out because I'm not flashed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one more thing tomorrow, De'Quel Jackson, Carlos Bayerga. Woohoo! I'm sad that I'm missing that. Nice lineup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They went up some dark and broken stairs Oliver could hardly see where he was going


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the Dodger seemed to know the way and helped Oliver up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They entered a room with walls that were black with age and dirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In front of the fire was a table with a candle stuck into a bottle of beer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And an old man with a horribly ugly face and red hair stood next to the fire cooking. He was wearing a dirty old coat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four or five boys, about the same age as the artful Dodger, sat round the table smoking and drinking like middle-aged men. They all looked up when the Dodger and Oliver entered. This is him fagging, the Dodger said to the old man. My friend, Oliver Twist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fagin smiled and shook Oliver's hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then all the young gentlemen came up to him and shook both his hands very hard, especially the hand which held his few possessions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the boys was particularly kind. He even put his hands in Oliver's pockets so that Oliver would not have to empty them himself when he went to bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The boys would probably have been even more helpful, but Fagin hit them on their heads and shoulders until they left Oliver alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We lost our home, we lost a vehicle. I have struggled to get back to middle class again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you say seventy or seven hundred dollars?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give it to me. It doesn't belong to either one of us. Give it to me and get away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ken is a villain. Ken is a villain. I have to say that with certainty. I mean, he's kind of outspoken. He was rude and he was selfish. A little bit, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, I think he's a nice guy at heart too. He was a dick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would force myself to all cancel 50 times in a row without missing it and then it would be, you know, a dash dancer or whatever it was and it was a lot of just training and training and getting better and I had a notebook where I made notes and I would watch videos. It was very serious for me and it was a very conscious, specific, directed effort at becoming better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And our synergy is very important. He's my number one practice partner. Uhm, Kevin is also a douchebag. Which is important to the story because when you're playing Kevin, he won't let you stop playing until he wins. He will not. Okay, we can be about to go to a party or a movie or to sleep, doesn't matter. We don't stop playing until Kevin realizes why he's losing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so if Kevin and I are playing, Marth Peach, Marth Peach, Marth Peach, Marth Peach, I wanna play Sheik for a little while. Nope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go catch that movie. We're gonna miss it. Nope. Sit down and keep playing till I win. Okay? Because he wants to get better. He's got that drive in him. And he's a jerk. It's a combination of the both. It's a fantastic combination. It's very stubborn though. And so Kevin and I played endless amounts of Marth Peach. So I know everything that Marth can do. Nothing surprises me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was my destiny to play chem. It was my destiny because we were rivals as people and because I was the Marth Slayer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it finally happened that at MLG Atlanta, I was pitted against him. So I walked over to his TV and I said, Ken, we gotta play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, no, you don't understand. This is Destiny. We play right now. So I set him down. Marth Geesh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same thing, he had a thing, a two-stack leaf on me, but when I'm playing math I don't get nervous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm about to beat him, and uhm, 3-0 at an MLG. Big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm eating, I'm eating, I'm eating, it's going great. Uhm, I'm up two stack to one, and he's ready to go. One good ledge guard would do it, no problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But can that resourceful son of a bitch jump on the windmill and then got me on the top level?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I died. I was furious and that was it. That was my glory. And then I do start to get nervous, which is terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was on Mute City and uh, I was doing well as a peach shirt on Mute City and I was up again two stack to one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My hands were physically shaking. They were covered with sweat and they were shaking and I couldn't play and I'm sorry to John. I know that I am. I was clumsy and I must have been obvious and he beat me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the set was over, Ken said to me, you had no chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much do you know about yourself? You never had a nemesis. You're a person who's, who's your opposite, who you need to go against, someone who really wants to see you fall. It took people out of a comfort zone, which I think was important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially gamers who don't necessarily aren't getting in fights at bars, you know, but it was an outlet to find a place to prove yourself and you could do that with your controller.

[Assistant] I still have the dollar bill actually, uh, signed by all of West Coast, by every member of the West Coast team. Ken and Isaiah and all of them, they signed the dollar bill, and I keep it, and I keep it near and dear, uhm, in my, in my bedroom.

[Assistant] The newlyweds, husband and wife, formed the core of Team Ben, a crew of ambitious Maryland and Virginia players looking to make a name for themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 2005, they took a step in the right direction by teaming up with videographer Eric Reichenbach. Or, as he came to be known, Bach.

[Assistant] Back's well-produced montages and documentary videos became the gold standard for Smashers, showing the world what these tournaments were all about, and putting Team Bend front and centre.

[Assistant] After the crew battles were complete, Ken took first place in singles. Even with the combined talent on the East Coast, in a one on one matchup, Ken was still the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the notoriety of being number one was beginning to take a toll on the 19 year old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Already commanding, Ken's crew became even more powerful when one of the East Coast's top players began dating his sister and joined the alliance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The scene was changing and changing in Ken's favor.

[Assistant] Hi, I'm Andy. Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel so you can see more awesome videos. Like videos of me getting scared or saying embarrassing things. Like ball peen hammer. And also some videos of Ellen and other celebrities. If you're into that sort of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you can get up to the bridge. Really? You can get up to that long bridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh shit. Am I Legend of Zelda-ing this? I kinda thought that it would be, but I don't know. Maybe you get it. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love aggro. Me too. He's such a sweet horse, isn't he? He's a badass. He's a nice guy. He's one of those creatures- whoops, sorry. I really feel, I feel connected to him. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's, he's been through, he's been with us through the hard times. You know? He's, he's just been a very...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's unacceptable. Yeah. In my opinion, if you're a mander and you're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he shared together. He's a full force horse. He's a, yea, I think you're just going in circles. No, I got it. No, no, no, I think he's supposed to keep going up. There was no more up. Are you sure? Positive. Okay. Well. What about that? What about that staircase?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sad, mad, not glad. I think you have to push those stones that were kind of precariously sitting in your path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand. After all that buildup of Agro being the coolest horse ever. These things? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt that way too. The first time Aggro died on me, I think I probably cried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead, edit in this spoiler. Snape kills Dumbledore. WHAT?! What? What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't do any of the stuff that I say. Except for be a cool guy, cause you're a cool guy. Get it? Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa. What's going on here, man? I don't know. There's a fucking, a chasm. My tunic is going crazy. I always thought it was just like a rug that you just kind of found.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't you just... Just leap? Take, take a chance, man.

[Assistant] King's doing good. He's had a great morning. He's been out exercising outside, looking him over. He looks really good today. Yes, it's very hot. My phone.

[Assistant] Let's try to get started. So yeaah, I'm Pedro. I'm an associate professor in computer science at the University of Chicago. I run the lab called Human Computer Integration Lab and that's really what I'm going to talk about today is this notion or idea of what happens after wearable devices and how might computers start to integrate more intimately with our physical body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before it gets too abstract and we start sort of debating what I mean exactly with a metaphor of integration, I just wanted to show you one quick example.

[Assistant] This is an older work of mine called Muscle Plotter and what you see here are two car designers doing what they do best, sketching and figuring out which is these two car shapes the car body is most aerodynamic. They're trying to figure out which one would flow best against the wind and provide less drag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Notice that the person wrote wind tunnel, 10 meters per second on the top, and all of a sudden they're actually getting these lines, which is the computed wind flow as the wind would actually traverse the cross section of this car, and you can see there's some turbulent wind in the back.

[Assistant] But the special part here is that the user doesn't know the output of a simulation. That's why we need these computer simulations. Complex fluid dynamics is not intuitive and all that.
