[Assistant] And the Browns, right now, people, the average person probably thinks they're a mediocrity. Not excellent. I actually don't think you gotta be an excellent, I just think you gotta just have. Or you gotta, I'm giving you a few reasons. Number two, there's gotta be a big time storyline. Yes. Last year there was cause of Watson. Now, he's still here, but we're not talking about,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nationally, Watson's not gonna get discussed like he was last year. Yes. Right. Right? He will hear, but not nationally. So that's not his biggest story. And then it's popularity of the team. Now, the Browns do have a national following. Uh, especially with older fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's not like, you know, it's not like a New York team or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, whatever, like the Steelers, some of these teams that are more popular nationally than the Browns are. I would say the Browns, the Browns are popular nationally, definitely. But they're more in the lower end of the upper echelon of popularity, more than the top, I think. So all those things combine to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Means the Browns won't have a lot of prime time games. Because there's bigger, there's, there's teams that more people are interested in. That you gotta think about like, what teams are the, are the neutral fans interested in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like for us, besides the Browns and we'll say the Bengals for me, of the other 32 teams, who are we most interested in seeing in prime time and for whatever reason?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Browns are popular enough that if Deshaun Watson is playing really well and the Browns are better than the average fan thinks they're going to be, then


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think those storylines to me are blown. I don't really care about those things personally. I get what you're, a lot of people do. I'm in the minority on that. But you know what? If he plays well enough to be in conversation, I'm not going to care about that. I'm going to care about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he'd still win, but you know what? Who gives a crap? Because let him play one game at Hall of Fame level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not, wouldn't be on the top of the list if I'm a neutral person of teams I want to see. Now, if they get off to a good start,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now Deshaun Watson becomes a big story because if he played, either way he's going to become a star. If he plays like crap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The worst trade was the Herschel Walker trade with the Cowboys and Vikings. That led to the Cowboys winning three Super Bowls. The Vikings gave up a million draft picks for Herschel Walker. And it was a running back. That was the worst trade. The one you mentioned is probably the second worst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This would be bad, obviously if he's not good, it's gonna be bad, but the worst trade of all time, no way. Go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna embarrass you in front of our guest because Mike has now screwed up Lorraine County.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you are, well, there's a few reasons we have you on, but the first one is you, uh, coincidentally, your husband is from East Palestine, correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I gotcha. And so you are doing, uh, a fundraiser to raise money after the terrible train accident that took place there. Uh, tell, tell us more about it, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta tell you, I interviewed, when you were early in your career, and I was in college, I was in college from 96 to 2000, and you were in a tournament, I don't even remember where it was, it was somewhere in upstate New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you were in a tournament. I remember Nancy Lopez was there toward, you know, later in her career and I interviewed you. I interviewed her. It was an amazing experience for me as college in college to be able to interview professional athletes. And you were also not, I was in a scrum of a bunch of different reporters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My experience, especially earlier in my career when I was a little nervous and inexperienced, it was much easier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] to interview women's athletes because generally they were nicer to you than the men's athletes were. And you were, I remember you being very nice. Nancy Lopez, who had been playing for a long time, had been very nice. And that was a great experience. So 20, 30 years later almost, I'd like to say thank you for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anika, our executive producer was telling us a story that apparently one time you were being introduced at the beginning of an event and somebody said, here's one of the greatest women's golfers of all time. And then somebody from the crowd, I guess, spoke up and said, she's the best of all time. And it was Jack Nicholas, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adam Sandler in the Celebrity Tournament. Uh, tell us again, before we let you go, Annika, tell us again about what's going on in East Palestine and how people can get involved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you so much for joining us. Best of luck with the tournament and raising money for a worthy cause. Thank you so much for being with us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. Thank you. She did not like your swing there, Ty. She did. She was pretty appalled by that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, it's, I hate to say it, but we don't even know if it's affecting us. We're not that far away. The wind, you know, takes the water. Who the hell knows? It's very scary. It's terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta say though, no offense to the USFL, we love them, we're happy to be a part of the show, but like, is there any sport that's not good family fun? Fair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course it is! The bottom line is I'd let my son watch, uh, uh, MMA. Why not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm so sour on the Cavs because of the way the season ends that I don't want to hear about any awards they won. I don't care about finishing first team on defense. Listen, how can I trust this list when there's two white guys on the all defensive team? There's no way two white guys are five best defenders in the league. That's impossible. The list is fraudulent. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All he did was a Donovan Mitchell trade. Now, Donovan was great in the regular season. He sucked when it mattered, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all he did. What else did he do? That was the only move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you watch any of the Nuggets game last night? Yes! How about the way they were moving the ball? You see how, beautiful. You see how the good teams do it? And they were playing, I think Mike said this recently, I think you said this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they play in their best, it's when Jokic, Jokic is scoring 30, not 50. And he's got 12 rebounds and 12 assists or whatever. And that's what he's doing. Him, when Jamal Murray...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drives to the basket and then kicks it out to him. That's unstoppable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll tell you who's consistent, Robin Lopez. This sucks ass. The highlight of his, is it Robin? The highlight of his season was the interview we did with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You bettin' on the Warriors to come back from 3-1. Stop. The Celtics to come back from 3-2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or the, uh, the sons to come back from 3-2. Which one you pickin'? Sons. Celtics? Sons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who would, like, obviously we're not there yet, but who would have possibly predicted, even the Nuggets who were the one seed, because everybody thought they were going to go out early because they haven't done anything in the playoffs, who would have predicted Nuggets, Lakers, Sixers, Sixers Heat? There would have been nobody predicting that for some. None.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Lakers, who might be the favorites to win it all now. No, the affiliate is, I think. Oh, are they? But like the Lakers had to be, what were their odds of winning the championship two months ago?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, the Big 12 is about to embarrass themselves even more, a Big 10 is about to embarrass themselves even more by changing the rule where you don't have to play a non-conference Power 5 team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not true. One Power Five team. Right. Non-conference Power Five team. That's a lie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, who is the least likable player still left in the playoff? Anybody?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be honest, I, I dropped the ball because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't watch the game last night. That's not dropping the ball. We were all out for dinner and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I wanted to know where his velocity was, if it had ticked back up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it escaped my mind. I forgot to do it because that would have been good information for the show. So I apologize to our viewers for not getting that information. So I really need to know more about his velocity. That's the key. That's been part of the reason his strikeouts have been down. It was good to see. The Tigers don't have a particularly good lineup. They still did get seven hits off them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, I need to know more about his velocity. I still think that Shane Bieber, I gotta see it for more games with him getting a lot of strikeouts with the velocity going up and doing it against better liners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The good news is, listen, the lineup has continued to be awful, right? The Guardians lineup has been an absolute disaster. Rosario had a nice game yesterday. He did, 4-4-4. But overall they've been a disaster. I think they've hit two home runs in the month of May. Two, I believe. That's one of the biggest problems right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is by far the worst in, in baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's uh, like you can't be last in home runs and now, as you said before, this division is terrible. The twins are the only team that's any good and they're far from pulling away. The good news is that quietly as they've continued to struggle hitting, the pitching has started to round into four. Quattro's been better, Bieber's been better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Bybee did have a bad start his last time around, but overall he and Allen have been good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Bybee's a good, he's a talented pitcher, I think he'll be okay, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the pitches coming around Mackenzie should be, all goes well. He'll be off the injured list in about three weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not worried about the pitching, the offense, they're gonna need to make a trade on the offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in general, I agree with you. However, I don't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By and large, can you look up how old Shane Bieber is now? Yeah, one sec. By and large, the reality is... 27. Oh, he's 27. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they've offered him contracts in the past. He turned it down. He wouldn't take those, like, below market value deals that some of these other guys, like, have signed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now it's too late. Now I don't, when, when these pitchers get big extensions, even at 28, 29, alright, he's not a free agent until next year. So he'd be 29 at the end of that contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most likely, whoever signed Shane Bieber to a long-term deal will regret that contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I don't blame th- at this point, I don't blame them for not wanting to sign a community.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excellent. They're really, really good. But I do believe that the league is wide open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and nobody else in the American League is playing standout great baseball. Houston's down. The Yankees are down now. It's early.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the, I predicted the Yankees not to make the playoffs this year. Uh, so I still don't think they're going to. They got a ton of injuries, both the Yankees and Astros.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go out and trade for a legitimate bat. Now Josh Bell's starting to play better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rosario and Jimenez are gonna come around. Those guys have track records they'll hit. But they do need another guy that can hit home runs. And they need another good hitter in the lineup. Left field's been a disaster. Uh, I'm not waiting for those guys to come around. There's no track record. Let's go get a legitimate left fielder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, I don't think they're a team that could win the World Series. But I don't think they're that far off. That if Mackenzie is right,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if McKenzie comes back in June, and he's the pitcher he was last year, and they go out and trade for a legitimate left fielder, and then they're relatively healthy come playoff time, could they win a World Series? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, without knowing what's going on with him? You know, I don't think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the Orioles are playing better than I expected. Tampa's been great. I thought the Yankees wouldn't be. I mean, the whole American, the American League East, there's going to be four American League East teams in the playoff. Four. All three wild cards are going to come from that division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't imagine there was a team in the bottom 15 of home runs in the last...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably 25, 30 years that's won a World Series. Probably, I wouldn't be surprised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because outside of the Guardians the last couple of years, and Tampa Bay last year, although Tampa Bay has a ton of home runs now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually the only teams that didn't hit home runs were bad teams. That just didn't have good hitters, period. Because there's so many home runs that game, that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like yeaah, like the Tigers and the Nationals, those teams, they're not losing because they can't hit home runs, they're losing because the whole team sucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, it was all the teams that did it in home runs were all crappy teams. Well last year you had the Guardians and Rays were two of the best teams, but neither team hit a lot of home runs. And, and, so I thought the Guardians, listen, the Guardians, the Yankees hit a million home runs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless your pitching was just so overwhelmingly good, and the Guardians have good pitching, you know, potentially, but not like all-time great. Right. That you could, I don't think, I don't really think you could win that way unless you had like four Cy Young pitchers. And, and I think, and I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? It is. However, however, I think potentially by the end of this year, it's going to be better because Bybee and Alan, especially Bybee and maybe even Gavin Williams will get called up potentially at some point in the year will be better


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But most of the teams, but I don't, the only thing I would say again, Mike, is that in the last 20 years, usually the teams that are low in home runs,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, the Rays have two of their four best starting pitchers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One hasn't pitched all year, and the other's out for the year with an injury. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, what's his name, um, what's Ramirez? Harold Ramirez, with the Indians too. They caught him, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't play a lot either. Uh, they have a lot of platoon situations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All those guys were with Tampa Bay last year except for, uhm, Rayleigh. Rayleigh, right? I think he was with the Dodgers. Amen. I think they claimed him on waivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We all remember last August, uhm, just days after the bills announced that the nicknamed punt god, Matt Arraziata, is that his name? Matt Arraziata? Arraziata, I believe. Arraziata? Arraziata.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, who, where, eh, he was in San Diego State. So he was the partner in San Diego State. He was, uh, all American, wasn't he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this guy won the puncture job, and then the story came out that he had been accused of rape, being part of a gang rape, obviously a very serious subject, of a 17 year old girl in his off campus home. And, you know, we all talked about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The story came out that after a thorough investigation,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only did they find out that uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of question marks about whether this girl was raped at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to prosecutors, according to a thorough investigation which they have videotapes, 30 eyewitness testimonies including friends of the girl,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But apparently, Ariza was not even there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the time of this alleged rape. Now there is still a civil lawsuit ongoing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, it does appear that he had nothing to do with this. Now he has admitted that he did sleep with this woman, and she is 17 years old. I don't know if he knew her age or not, but to me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An NFL team should sign him. He's been, he's been vindicated, uh, for many rape charges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm a team and I need a punter, this kid was great in college. If I'm the Browns, I don't like Bjork Ez. I'm going after this kid. I don't see any reason not to. Do you have any reason not to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you read Dan Wetzel's article on Yahoo? Is that what you're looking at? Everybody should read, first of all, when it comes to stories about, like he does a lot of college stories, and obviously this alleged incident took place in college. Dan Wetzel is the writer when it comes to stories of this nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And probably all of us, certainly I've probably been guilty of this. I remember the Duke, uh, lacrosse situation. I quickly jumped on the bandwagon. I was like, ah, these Duke guys. I assumed they were snobby assholes. And they were innocent, those guys. And, you know, and that was wrong on my part. And we all...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it's 5%, 10%, whatever, there is a percentage where the stories are embellished or flat out lies. And in those cases, A, because of those cases, A, we all need to take some time before we know the facts. And this kid should not have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bills were pressured. I get it. But it was unfair because nothing had been proven against them. It was just an accusation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, now the kid has paid the price. Hopefully he'll get a job and an opportunity now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'm gonna get in trouble. There has to be proof that the person lied. But if yea, if this woman made up this story and that can be proven, then yea, there should be a penalty for that. 100%. I agree. She should be arrested for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, and that's not right. And, and there should be consequences for that. Just like there's, there should be consequences obviously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. It'd be interesting to see if the bills bring him back or if he'd even want to go back to the bills after they, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do. I actually think he will. I think he will. Yes. If he's that good, even at that position, which is, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an important position. If he's that good somebody- He's been exonerated. I mean, that's the way I look at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing he did, I guess, is technically, according to the state of California, he did sleep with an underage woman, because in most states,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The age of consent is 16 or 17 in California and a couple other places as we were looking at before the show, it's 18. So technically slept with an underage girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, A, we don't know if he knew that, and personally for me, this is just my own opinion, he's 22, whatever he was, sleeping with a girl who's 17, I mean, that's the age of consent in most states, I'm not gonna not hire him because of that for me, and I don't even know that he knew her age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's great. And if you break the record for most 50-yard punts in college, I gotta believe there's a place for you in the NFL. Yeah. Seems pretty obvious. So I think someone will give them a shot. We'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, two years ago he had a great year, guys. The cap hit is very little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I'm giving up nothing for him. Like, 6th round pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. The only thing I'll say with Kareem Hunt, he probably, uh, correct me if I'm using this improperly, but I think Kareem Hunt thought he was him. Yes. And he ain't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I mean, Kareem, have you heard a single rumor about Kareem Hunt? No. I have not even heard him link to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, in the end, I'm fine with them making Jerome Ford the second back, the pass catching back, and seeing what he's got. But I think if they traded a 6th round pick for Corey Darrell Patterson, I think we'd all be fine with that, right? I mean, it wouldn't bother me one bit. You guys have been pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I would not. Even at his best, I wouldn't have. Oh, I would've. I would've.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would be my assumption right now, if Ford looks like the better player in training camp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they didn't run, like, so it matters who the back is. I think there's a certain level of like, yes, the old line brings it up more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reality is Nick Chubb, I think has missed at least one game every year, hasn't he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have, uh, what's his name, that Kelly guy who used to be on the Rams, who's been with the team as like a fourth running back to left field. You confident? No, I'm not. If Nick Chubb comes...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it gets hurt. Yeah. I mean, now you don't have Kareem Hunt, but. Well, we really be in the, the John Watson really got to earn. But you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like a Jerome Ford type of guy, as we talked about. Zeke Elliott makes no sense for the Browns. They're not signing him. It doesn't make any sense at all. Mikey, you got a final thought before we wrap up here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the browser, at this point, I grew with these guys. I mean, the browser's better off going with the young guy. Let's see what he's got. You drafted him for a reason. That's what they do anyway. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Researchers from Harvard and Stanford took a look at this and found conclusively for the younger kids


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're significantly more likely to finish school, go to college, finish college, get better jobs, earn more money, not have teen pregnancies, not get involved in crime and drugs, and the younger the kids are, when the families make the move, the bigger the impact. Zip code is destiny. That's no joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like uhm, when you buy a house, you have to put a down payment. Yeaah. That's your equity. Yeaah. That's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, and it wouldn't be possible to build the quality of housing without the tax credits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had hired a consultant who was a state senator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was also a lawyer. And a consultant. And a consultant. And he got us an appointment with the lieutenant governor. But then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were told that we needed to hire another consultant, but we couldn't know who that consultant was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a lot of pressure coming from a lot of different places. Certain decisions were made, certain things happened, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, and, and we should have sacrificed those, those projects that were in question and just gone in a different direction, but, you know, we didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And show how they would lead a country now in crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Donald Trump's childhood was much more complicated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Early on, a family crisis. His mother seriously ill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Young Donald had his own crisis, finding his place in a family dominated by his father, Fred, a stern and demanding real estate developer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inside the family, a harsh game of apprentice. Who would take over Fred's empire? The first in line wasn't Donald. It was his older brother, Freddy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their father said Freddie wasn't a killer. He wanted to fly airplanes for a living.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His life ended early in alcoholism and poor health.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through the years, Donald would take a much different path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was determined to live up to his father's ideal. Be a killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he was also tempestuous, impulsive, and at 13, his father sent him to military school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be a five-year lesson in how to be a bully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inside that brutal world, Donald had found his place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His father, a car salesman, fallen on hard times. For little Joey, Catholic school. Nuns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The words were in front of him. Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentleman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joey's mom, Jean, marched him back to the school to confront his teacher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bullied, harassed, ridiculed. He was hell-bent on beating the stutter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He kept pushing against the stutter, the bullies. And it paid off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joey Biden found another way to fight back. Politics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the crisis of stuttering, a life method. Persevere. Just push through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that crisis, 25 year old Donald Trump saw a chance for personal gain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was struggling to make a name for himself break out of his father's shadow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump took his shot. It started with a rundown hotel near Grand Central Station.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump believed New York was desperate enough to pay him to transform the hotel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he was new to Manhattan. He needed a guide. He found Roy Cohn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cohn had been disgraced for leading McCarthy-era witch hunts, but Trump saw him as a killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cohn knew just how to get the tax breaks Trump needed to build his hotel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Cohen's help, Trump had thrived in crisis. Used it to his advantage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would become Trump's playbook, exploit crisis in business, in life, in politics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe Biden also had a role model. Irish, Catholic, good looking. Joe emulated what he could. Kennedy was drawn to politics. Biden was drawn to politics. Jack had a photogenic wife and children. Joe had a photogenic wife and children. The Kennedys had a family compound at Hyannisport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bidens would have a family compound in Wilmington, Delaware.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] United States Senator Cale Boggs, an ally of President Richard Nixon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe and Ricky, he likes to be called Mouse, forged a lifetime friendship after beating a shared demon. They both stuttered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mouse introduced Joe all around the neighborhood. Over the years, Biden kept in touch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Building relationships in the black community that would pay off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They called it the divorce of the century. Trump versus Trump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The marriage that produced the divorce of the century had begun more than a decade before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At a trendy New York bar. She was a model out on the town with friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An immigrant from Czechoslovakia, she was going places. What Fred Trump would call a killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Together, they headline Trump's biggest real estate project, Trump Tower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as he expanded into Atlantic City, she became CEO of one of the casinos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Manhattan, she took charge of the iconic Plaza Hotel. But it would not last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During Ivana's renovation of the Plaza, Trump's resentment boiled over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the eye of the tabloid storm, Ivana said she was doing everything she could to hold on to her life and her power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for Trump, the crisis was made to order. He leaked stories to feed the media firestorm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe Biden had it all. Three children, wife Nelia at his side, about to take a seat in the Senate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biden and his sister Val were in Washington setting up the office, hiring a staff, when the crisis hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Campaign flyers from the car helped identify the bodies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Broken hips, legs, arms, bow was all cut up and Hunter's skull was fractured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somehow Biden pulled it together. They held a swearing-in ceremony at the hospital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the fight against stuttering and the uphill political battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once again in crisis, he would persevere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'd made his mark in Manhattan exploiting an economic crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now he'd take on another crisis and raise his profile yet again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As in so many other areas, his attitude towards race was shaped by his father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Trump would not apologize then, nor over the years when the subject came up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was part of the Roy Cohn playbook that Trump continued to use. Fan the fires of division. Get what you want. Move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After 14 years in the Senate, Joe Biden was going for the big one, running for president. It was a family affair. The boys were older now. He had remarried, had a new daughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as he campaigned, he headed towards another crisis, stemming from a persistent question. What did he stand for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then one day, a video, a story that would give him something to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Iowa, during the primary, he took Kennex's words, made them his own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His campaign said it was a mistake, that he had cited Kinnock other times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He thought he could put it behind him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He returned to the Senate, continued his method, persevered through it all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The biggest crisis of Donald Trump's business career began with one giant bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The casino was the size of two football fields. Trump said he spent 14 million dollars on chandeliers. His bet? One billion dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In TV reports, Trump bragged that he was the reason that Taj would be a success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ego was central to Trump's method. But there was something else. Positive thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A technique he'd learned with his father at this Manhattan church. It was the place to be seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For business leaders, socialites, politicians, and the Trumps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peel's book, The Power of Positive Thinking, taught followers visualization, envisioning the world that they wanted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was Peel's kind of outlook that carried Trump into Atlantic City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the vision of his name in lights. Trump Plaza. Trump Castle. Then the billion dollar Trump Taj. Paid for with junk bonds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump was warned repeatedly he was headed for disaster, but he dismissed the warnings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inevitably reporters began to question whether Trump's vision could be profitable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's when Trump turned to a key Roy Cohn lesson. Attack the media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A collapse of the casinos devastated Trump's investors and Atlantic City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Trump, as always, refused to admit failure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The crisis in Atlantic City also solidified another method Trump would come to rely on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Allegations against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This affidavit charged that Thomas sexually harassed a former employee. Anita Hill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biden was at first reluctant to have Hill testify but the story was exploding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Angela Wright offered her own stark allegations against Thomas, which Thomas denied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the pressure mounting, Biden agreed to let the women testify.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biden's committee was all white men. The men of the Senate, as they were called.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biden's close friend, Republican Arlen Specter, led the charge against Hill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biden gave Clarence Thomas the last word. He strongly denied the allegations


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Angela Wright and the other women accusing Thomas would not testify. He'd end up voting against Thomas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biden turned to his method for survival in crisis. Acknowledge the problem and repair the damage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he convinced her and Dianne Feinstein to join the committee. Beginning once again to rebuild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For 14 seasons, he played the role of a mogul, as if he were still one in real life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They built a false boardroom on the vacant fifth floor of Trump Tower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The carefully choreographed drama hooked the audience, keeping them coming back for more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The developer who went bust, the reality TV star, was on his way, harnessing the power of crisis and conflict, image over reality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'd make it personal. Build a relationship with Obama.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obama asked him to be on his ticket as vice president. At the house in Wilmington, the Biden inner circle gathered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the Obama White House, Biden brought with him something the president didn't have. Relationships in Congress spanning decades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In return, Obama bestowed on Biden something special. A kind of political sainthood they called


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A showcase with all the conflict and crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And against his opponents, another strategy he had perfected, personal attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, confronted Trump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He turned to what he had learned. From Norman Vincent Peel. Roy Cohn. His dad. Reality TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amidst outrage and anger, he won the ultimate prize and stayed true to his playbook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the Vice President, Joe Biden often tackled controversies, and in matters of race particularly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obama relied on him to walk a fine line he could not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk directly to the family of Officer Rafael Ramos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biden wanted to see Officer Wenjun Liu's family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After decades in politics, Biden seemed to have finally found his place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But soon after the crisis in New York, a personal crisis, yet again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biden was burying his own son, Bo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At one point, after several hours, a surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before Bo's death, Biden had been considering another run for president. Now the question was not just would he, but could he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through crisis and tragedy, Joe Biden had his eyes on the presidency. But now, in grief, he would decide to stand down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just like the apprentice, firings, turmoil, confrontation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the presidency Roy Cohn had prepared him for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was determined to be what his father had called a killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had unified the party behind him, left his imprint on the Supreme Court, delivered tax cuts, undermined Washington's institutions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At 76 years old, he would reverse course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In those early days, his long complicated record was a liability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Visualize what you want to be true, no matter the fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump's approval ratings were plummeting. Protesters were massing outside the White House.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the Rose Garden that day, he would go to his playbook, Fan the Flames.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the president left the Rose Garden for a dramatic TV moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Joe Biden, the nation in crisis gave him an opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Persevering in the face of adversity can prevail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lifetime of conflict had prepared him for yet another fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another chance to see if turning crisis to his advantage can carry the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, a deeply divided nation will decide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] McGriddle is truly like the American diner experience. So when they say McGriddle, you feel the nostalgia of an American diner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it good? Very chalky, right? He looks like a dog that just got into a jar of peanut butter. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Position of authority. This is a person who's meant to protect you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is among his most visible weaknesses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's also a source of his strength. It's also


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when I joined the tour in 1994, I really didn't know I could win a single golf tournament. And obviously looking back, it's been a terrific career and I'm super proud of it. And, you know, I just think of, you know, other young girls that I mentor through the Annika Foundation is, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you drink in your area, just so you know, you can buy, you know, in Heinen's and Bueller's and Drug Mart, um, there's a few places to find them in your area. Ohio is actually our first, uh, state to introduce fizzy bees. So yeah, we tried to be, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Nicholas to do something with some other people. And then my husband introduced our kids. Do you know, this is, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, uh, please tune in. It's, uh, Annika for East Palestine. It's our fundraiser. May 15th is going to be at the Lake Club in Poland. And, uh, Fizzabee is a sponsor. We got some celebrities coming. Jim Tressel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the city would gather around with us, we can produce with a lease guaranteed by the state of New York, a New York City lease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What worries some analysts is the amount of junk bond debt Trump has incurred to build the Taj Mahal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump says he believes they will. The Taj Mahal is going to be a tremendous success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Politicians have done such a job on the people that the people don't believe them anymore. And I'd like a shot at changing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, hey everyone, it's your long lost friend, Aditi Kinkabwalla, and I have the distinct pleasure of announcing the nickname of the year. Okay, let's get to the nominees. A. Petty La Bull, which was bestowed by G upon Bull after one of Bull's many rants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] B, McNuggets for our fearless producer, Mikey McNuggets. And C, Duke of Knee Jerk, which was another one of G's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] McNuggets, because who else would we pick but McNuggets?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really don't believe I would, but I would like to see somebody as the president who could do the job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably not, but I do get tired of seeing the country ripped off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ads are basically are very strong and vocal. They are saying bring back law and order to our cities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That took this girl and raped her brutally. You better believe it. And it's more than anger, it's hatred.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really believe that I've never met a successful person without a very large ego. And if you don't have a big ego, you're not gonna be successful. It's as simple as that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Donald Trump and I'm the largest real estate developer in New York. I own buildings all over the place, model agencies, the Miss Universe pageant, jetliners, golf courses,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're fired. You're fired. You're fired. No longer with us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'm automatically attracted to beautiful. I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we will keep radical Islamic terrorists the hell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is time to drain the damn swamp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the 15 within a couple of days is gonna be down to close to zero. Uh, that's a pretty good job we've done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our nation has been gripped by professional anarchists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll defend the American way of life or whether we will allow a radical movement to completely dismantle and destroy it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can almost draw a straight line from what he did with the Central Park Five to then on to birtherism. I mean, there is something within Donald Trump, uhm, that makes him drawn to those kinds of issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very, very divisive issues that are aimed at a particular part of the electorate or the population that in one way or another stir things up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biden could put himself into the Neil Kinnick story. Uhm, family in Scranton, Pennsylvania, family in the mines. And so, in a sense, he absorbed the Kinnick story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He recognized that this was a fatal blow to his hopes of winning the nomination in 1988. You know, I think it was a very painful decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Decided that you confuse everything that he had learned


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, about celebrity and entertainment and ratings from having been on The Apprentice into a presidential campaign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a reminder that this was somebody who was capable of doing those kinds of things, who was in many ways, uh, his own worst enemy, whether it was because he, he didn't know when to stop speaking or because he could say things in the moment, uhm, that would get him into trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the time Trump arrives running for president in 2016,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He understands conflict, he understands celebrity, he understands the power of television, and he understands how to dominate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a choice of character. It is a choice of temperament. It is a choice of persona and personality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what we would have done without you, Nana, cause you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just felt that I needed to get out in the forest for a while. And Nanook really needed to get some energy out, so I thought that's a good timing for me to also... Get some energy out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The toughest time of the year for me, and it has always been that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] March and April is the two months of the year that I like the least. I would always prefer November instead of March and April. Even though November is so much more darker and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because eh, it's not winter and it's not spring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, and it's really funny because at the same time also in March and April I get really, really pale and my skin is getting really, really bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess the good things about getting older every year is that you learn your own cycles. You learn what works for you and not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know that March and April is always gonna be a shitty time, because that's just how it is. It's that I'm very affected by nature, so in March and April, nature is just like, it's no...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at the light in the forest, it's beautiful and in the mornings I can hear the birds sing and that gives me so much inspiration and energy. I don't know, it's something with the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, okay, what was I gonna- I was just gonna say that it's like such a beautiful kitchen table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I love that, uh, oh, that was what, the f-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wood is, eh, recycled wood. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The table is recycled wood, so it's a, it's tree from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are very happy with the table. It's even better than we thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see, it's recycled wood, so it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Old windows and floors and doors and... I love this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's why I'm taking the car because there's a lot of things to move out from the house. Alright, let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only sad part about moving out now is that I won't have any space to paint, so I can't continue on my paintings. But it's only two months until we move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That next time I pack up my paints again is gonna be in a new house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No words can describe how much this means to me to finally have space. It feels like it's changing everything in my life. I can't even, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally we are done with moving out all the stuff from Boa. It's been a long day and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I've been thinking about this for a long time, that we have to move out all the things. Another chapter has ended. But now though, we have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So many things in our house here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why we rented the house because we couldn't have like another business in here. And now I really understand why. You know, it's stuff everywhere. I'm just so, so happy that we're not gonna live with all this stuff like this for so long. In two months, we're gonna move to the house and finally,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Muah, lots of love. Bye bye. Bye bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And from my standpoint, as a black American, as far as I'm concerned, it is a high tech lynching for uppity blacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By a committee of the U.S. U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please let them be stronger. I hope they have them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You too. I like her mask. She wants that giveaway mask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My mom has food stamps. Our food stamps have not stayed the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably throughout my whole life. Depending on my mom's raise or decline or what job she's had, they've always gone up and down. She doesn't really use her paychecks for work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To buy our food because that's more important to put towards bills and other stuff that we need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got it from my cousin. Uh, she wore it as a bridesmaid dress and she only wore it once and I thought it was cute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is my first, like, actual prom. I also have a date. I'm looking forward to having a date. Cause I've never had a, you know, date to a dance before, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a Twitter notification about the announcement. The governor tweeted about it. Kind of made me a little bummed out because it


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meant that I don't get to see my friends or really anybody else for like another month. Um, prom I knew was gone by the Trump's announcement of the 30th, April 30th being quarantined.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do worry about Laken a lot. She's gonna be the wild child. I can already see it cause, you know, I got my head on my shoulders and there's always that one. Too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the younger grades, like, it's really hard for any of them to do their work because they're younger and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their parents, like, are at work or just don't enforce it how they should of how they need to do their schoolwork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Laken doesn't do her work then she's probably going to struggle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's harder for Laken because she has ADHD and like her mind's all over the place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I worry about her. I really hope she gets everything done and throws to be a little bit more responsible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need some time without my mother. Mom, I need time to be free. Be myself. Oh, you're yourself now? No. Away from you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, biggest barrier would definitely be money going to college because I'm gonna be a first generation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To live in a suburb type area and be teaching at an elementary school with, you know, a big happy family. If it all went wrong, uhm, well, I'd probably be poor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna be a first generation, so I'm gonna show that it's okay to get out of this. So yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. I'm rocking with him. I'm gonna rock with him. I'm gonna rock with that. I'm gonna rock with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause especially at that position, offensive line, you definitely are taught to finish every block. You may miss a block, but if you finish, that can help you recover. So if I see an offensive lineman, he quitting, he giving up. Cause my first move might not work as a defensive lineman, but I know if I can outwork him, I have a better chance of getting the sack. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I look at it like that's barbecue chicken. Barbecue chicken. I see a guy that's gonna give up and be lazy during a snap and not give 100% effort every time and is inconsistent. That's how I look at it. It's barbecue chicken. I'm finna eat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need somebody that's gonna stop the run. So we'll build around him. So I feel like he's gonna be the best rookie. He's gonna make the biggest impact. Because you gotta win on first downs. If you want Miles Garrett to eat and get you double digit sacks,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to put him in the opportunity to do so, which is get teams in third and longs, second and longs, which you have to win on first down. As a pass rusher, we talk about, you have to earn a right to pass rusher. And by doing so, you got to stop the run. And my big fella right here, Eka, he's going to do that. I'm excited to see him play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The front end and back end works together. If you can keep your linebackers clean and allow them to read and just run free and make plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your run defense would be improved dramatically, very quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he didn't have any sex last year, or the year before, so the talent is there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely, cause now this gives him a couple more seconds to read his keys, cause probably last year the O lineman down set go offensive lineman probably in his face already, or the D lineman getting pushed back to him. Now this will give him more time to be able to read and dissect what's going on and hopefully, instinctually, he's able to make more plays. If he doesn't get it done this year with this guy in front of him, then


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There might, all hope is lost. But let's give him one more year to play behind a more stout defensive line and see what he can do before we just give up on the guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the field as possible. You try to sneak in an extra coverage guy and know we can take out a linebacker and bring in an extra coverage guy. So that drops the value of a linebacker unless you have a guy like Fred Warner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's an amazing linebacker who can also cover and fill gaps and things like that. But those guys are a dime a dozen. It's tough to find those guys. So unless you can find you a very good coverage linebacker, the value of them are very low right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like every other position can make a mistake. D lineman can get out of a gap one play. A linebacker can miss a tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But a safety? A safety gotta defend every blade of grass. He cannot miss a tackle at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everything is smooth selling, especially with that running game. So that's my thought process on why they took Tillman with their first pick, trying to get a cheap


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weapon because you have no money, no draft capital to go and find anybody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, alright, I got em. I got em makin it. You got it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you said, when it's coming down to these last few roster spots, and when you got a renaissance man that can do multiple things,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like that's what's going to save him. As opposed to, as opposed to-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Special team's gonna save one of these guys and it's gonna send the other two packing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, the proof is in the pudding. You know, I believe last year it was almost like around 60 guys signed from the USFL. How many steps?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, probably like 10 to 15? Talking roster and practice squad guys or some guys that are still there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I said, guys, it's worked. Guys have seen proof that you ball, they're watching, they'll come find you. Turpin is the best example, obviously, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going from playing in Europe, then playing in the FCF, the Fan Control Football League, then coming to the USFL, and not only going to the Cowboys, getting the guaranteed contract, but then becoming a pro bowler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All pro kick returner, you can't write a better story than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, like you say, either you got it or you don't. I just want to know that you there. Yeah, right. So they're watching. They're watching for sure. Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, cause sometimes in this business, as they probably know, relationships save jobs all the time. They do. All the time. And that's in the work field, football, anywhere. That's everywhere. You know, sometimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, he gone. He gone. Hey, that might have been the fastest turnaround up. He gone. Whoa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this pick is going to come down between Hill and Hurst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my pick for this one. Same kind of body stature, penetrating D tackles, you know, technically quote unquote undersized, but he'll test it. I feel like he got drafted that high, he tested the numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stuff you've never seen from a D-Tackle. So it's gonna be between him and hers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pass rush. Pass rush because you can affect the game more as a pass rusher. More opportunities to get the ball back for your offense, strip sack fumbles, changing flipping field position and things like that. It's easier to scheme up a guy on a run because you can just double team him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a VOC. Just depends how good that 4th round draft pick is. He's a VOC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they can take the mentality of every loss is a lesson and not a loss and they come back next year and get better and who's to say they can't make and get some more shooting this off season and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fix the bench. I know I'm going on and on and saying if they can do all these things. If.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can do all these things and progress next year and Donovan Mitchell shows up in the playoffs and things like that. I feel like this could be the season they look back as growing pains, finally getting all the guys together, building that camaraderie and moving forward in the playoffs. They'll look back at this year in a positive light. So I don't know. I'm just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being hopeful, and I really believe in Donovan Spider Mitchell, so I believe next year will be better, so that's my take on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only thing I'll say to counter that is Donovan Mitchell should have learned some lessons in Utah. Well, we don't know. This wasn't his first appearance and the reason why our expectations are so high is because we've seen him be great in the playoffs and have great performances before. So that's why we thought with him coming to a team with another


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great player in the backcourt with him. A great frontcourt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We thought he would be better and it didn't happen. So something is missing, but we were looking for that peak spider performance and we didn't get it. And that's why we scrambling right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not really, because we kind of practice on two different schedules, but uhm, we take pride in our hub, like, we both went.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this will be our last, cause we're the first four Sunday, then I think we go to Saturday. I don't, I'm not sure about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We hope that uhm, when that time comes, USFL guys are already ready. As opposed to guys on the street. They might not be in shape and things like that. So when we finish, I think there's a three week or two week gap team before teams have to start back reporting. So hopefully that's when the USFL guys get the call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna lie, with that money, that NIL money they gave in college yesterday, I love the USFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not touching. If I can go sit in college and get NIO money, as opposed to coming to,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know that came out with a poll that Spirit was rated top 2 under Delta. I seen it yesterday on twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing. Nothing. I think I tried like some hundred dollar golden wings. I guessed out of it. Yeah, bro. That's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was without a tip. The wings was $100. So I feel like that was the most dumbest thing I've probably spent money on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know who's worse, the timeship people or like the people with the little booths in them all. I'll just keep my head down and keep walking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lakers in six. The Lakers will knock out the sorry Golden State Warriors, um, L.A. versus everybody. Anthony Davis will have an amazing series. LeBron James will continue to show you why he is still one of the top three greatest players in the NBA. The Pittsburgh Maulers have the best defense in the USFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next time the Pittsburgh Maldives play, the New Jersey Generals star running back Darius Victor will not run over anybody on our team like he did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What else do we have? Uhm, pineapple does not go on pizza. Uhm, I am an all flats guy. I do not like drums. What else we got here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't be surprised if the Philadelphia 76ers upset the Boston Celtics. That win last night was huge without Joel Embiid. I expect him to come back game three in Philadelphia and they will take over home court advantage. And Cavalier fans just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take it easy, give Donovan Mitchell one more year with this squad and before you just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I already ready to ship them off, so that's my final take.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From Boogie, see y'all, see y'all next week. We play each other, I think, the last game of the season. I believe. Week 10, yeaah. Oh wow. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even, I don't know what the competition would be. Yeah, there really isn't, like, and plus,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you're not, you can't see nothing. Like even- Right, you can't send this to a radio show. You can't, listen, he'd give it to a radio dude, that's, that's under a blackout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love the flexibility. So if Brad decided, you know what, it's chilly outside, I just need to have a hoodie on in City Hall, then it is hoodie day in City Hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want taxpayers to pay for a large portion of it and you would like certain amenities, but if you don't get it, you ain't got no problems with moving to independence and putting a new stadium out there because you just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He fell into the trap. It wasn't a trap. The media is going to get one of y'all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, now Will Levis, they kinda got him too. Got him on it. Because he posted a picture saying, look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at, look, he, I think he's trying to big up like his, uh, his trainer and the people he worked with in the off, off, uh, off season. You know that time period before the last bowls and, and that by, I would say about a one to two month period where you're trying to get ready for the combine February and March. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the kids, everybody goes to these places. They take cameras with them. They'll even, they'll do the in-depth and they'll show you how, what they're eating, what they're doing, some of the workouts or whatever. He showed, like, hey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was me, like, before I went. Look how great I look now, fellas. Look how good this is. And so he takes a picture and says I lost a body weight, ready to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The media says, look how vain he is. He isn't a quarterback. That was a low key. He's bragging on himself. And I don't want my quarterback to be jacked like that anyway. You know what? I don't know if this kid's gonna be it. I'm like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. This is, this is a message. You know what it is, Jay. You know, the good old boys network, they said, look, you gotta come piss the ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we'll give you, you, you can be entered in and then the same people that do that will be the same people that'll be covering the games. And so if you do bad, they'll say, give him a shot. We like him. He's a good kid. He didn't do it and he got picked second overall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He went, he proceeded to test better than any quarterback who's ever tested in his life. He ran a 4-4-3. He has a 40-inch vertical. His broad jump is like 10-6. It was just naming all this stuff he has more than, and he has a crazy ridiculous arm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gave him that Brady Quinn. That Brady Quinn. And back then, they was only dry, they was only falling. He fell to the 20s, right? 19 or something. Yeaah, and that was considered a tumble. Yeaah, it was going crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it was a couple of days ago, a couple of weeks ago, I would have said yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think they'll do it now. And the reason I don't think they'll do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well here's the thing, if you gave up both of your threes and you're in a fourth round pick, I don't know what the draft sheet says for a second round pick or a low second round pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that seems like a lot of drag cats would move up a couple spaces. If you packaged, you get two threes and you're gonna get a fourth to just drop back a couple spaces from the second. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If some of these names that I'm seeing here. Call it. See the great, the great thing about working on Locked On Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jalen Hyde who's rated, uhm, they got him down here further too. They got him as the 16th best available prospect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Receiver out of Tennessee, all he does is win, win, win, no matter what. He's going, he's, listen, dude got crazy speed. He gets on the top of receivers. I love the fact that Jalen Hyatt is still available and that's at 16.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we gotta, there's a lot of other edge rushers as well. We know about Zach Harrison, right? Zach Harrison. He'll be available. They have him rated as a 60-something best player still left on the board. There's some edge rushers that I really like. Derek Hall out of Auburn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guy who can really move, had over nine sacks, he can move around athletic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which y'all, which y'all feel about the, Lou, this, I, I, hey, Stefanski light tight ends, that monster Darnell Washington will be available the second round. I know, but you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a committed tenjoku. Well, you have the joku, but you got Harrison Bryant. And so, so that's, that's a, that's a name. Uh, you take a look at, uh, this is another guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, well these guys, these are, these are gonna be the high guys. So you say 26. So if he's still there, maybe you move up and try to get him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's 31, so it's a 31 team, so you looking at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, so these people are rated, so if you talk about 31,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, now you talk about 31 and down because you're gonna have other people drafting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Jonathan Mingo is a receiver out of Ole Miss, can really move. Uh, Tajay Spears, we, uh, we kinda went over him. He's, he's a scat back, he's a back that, that can run over people, got really good speed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if you're still looking at linebackers, this is, this is a linebacker, uhm, draft that's really weak. There's, there's not too many linebackers that are in here. Well that's bad for us because that's what we need. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you got, oh this guy, I like him. This is, this is a good pick right here. Uh, the receiver from uh, Josh Downs, from North Carolina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shifty, can move, uh, he reminds me a lot of Elijah Morris, a guy in short.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't have that. That's not good look, bro. They need to get somebody this year. We need all hands on deck, bro. We need to get people together. There's a couple positions that I'm not really comfortable with going into the year. I'm talking about linebacker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you need another wide receiver. I think you need both of those positions. And if you gonna fill them with a veteran.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well, you know, there might be a veteran. There's a couple of people out there still haven't signed yet because they don't, they don't need to. It's a veteran. They don't need to go to camp or whatever, but I do think that they need definitely to look at the right receiver position and linebacker position. Um, and my, I'm kind of scared because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The deepest part of this draft is two positions that we already have, but the Browns low. Yea, I know. Tight end and corner back. If they come out here and draft another corner, I'm going to be like, where are you going to play them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so here's the way it works. See, they kinda, they kinda played him a little bit. And I feel like Lamar Jackson was actually in his bag a little bit because he was one of those dudes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was in the green room. Mad Lake. Ravens drafted him, I believe, with the last pick. Last pick. Last pick in the first round. You see all these other quarterbacks going ahead of you. You don't want the Heisman. Then you, then there was rampant speculation that multiple teams wanted him to play with Seabrook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when he goes into his negotiation, he comes in and says, I've already proven that I'm an MVP in this league and you're diminishing it. You're trying to marginalize what that means. So I had already took a shade the first time. The second time, nah, y'all gotta pay me bro. And here's what he did. He said, look, I ain't getting 250.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm getting to 260 and somebody tapped him on the shoulder and was like, hey look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When is the last time, when is the last time a quarterback that played anywhere half decent didn't get that 50 year option or had to get cut?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It never happens. Like if you are, you play half decent, they're like, well, he's the franchise quarterback. He's always been here. We're not about to, our other options are go after another quarterback, which may not be on the market or draft one. The Baltimore Ravens show right there that they are not trying to rebuild like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Baltimore Ravens saw the writing on the wall. They're like, listen, we didn't kept the grounds down for so long, but we're not about to go back to the barrel and start all over again. That's not what we have to do. So we might as well decide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the Bible says when there is, when any two touch and agree. See, I'm not, I don't want to preach. But all you do know is these two. That's right. He got it. And Joe Burrow, got the pressures on him. I don't think Lamar Jackson had the cachet in his skill set.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna, they're gonna get, they're gonna get J.K. Diamond's back healthy. He's a couple years removed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gus Edwards is a couple years removed. They got the prom- Edwards had tied in. I'ma say it like this man. They just catapulted themselves right back up to-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is, here's what, and I like, I love this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because now I get to, see I'm the duke of knee jerking. Sometimes people just wanna, well that's just, you're just being emotional. They ain't being emotional. You gotta, you gotta play it, play it smooth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of times that's fake playing this move. You know what I know. You just ain't gonna say it. You know in your heart of hearts when you look at the teams and you say, it's kind of this and that, but you fall on the side of a fan. I can't, I can't lie. That's the difference between me and you. When you talk about the energy level, that energy level, look what the Texans did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] CJ Stroud, they said we're gonna go get CJ Stroud, but we feel like we want the third pick too. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a power play. That was a power play. That's a pinstripe suit coming in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell we not. We bout to get, we bout to get CJ Stroud and Will Anderson who we had on the board. We gonna make a move to get, when you go up and get two and three, that means you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're trying to do something. I'm not. See, the brother is smart. He knows. Yeah, everything is good when you're warming your shoulders up and we then gave him a five-year plan in the back of his head. Then I told him and reassured him you got five years to build what you want to do. And then he got a call from Hugh Jackson. He said, don't believe that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't you believe that it's only a two and a half year deal? That's what they mean. You stay saying you got five, no, you got two and a half. That's all you got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this man realized that and said, no, I'm gonna forget the draft capital for five years in a row. I'll spend all that little money. That's all you got. I'll spend that to get up a little closer. But, but the Ravens, the Ravens, when you say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give em, you give em credit. Those teams are aggressive. They get, they got, they, you got OBJ, they brought em in. Now we gon' figure out if he washed up or not. Right. In the division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the top. He gonna try to get you and try to get everybody here to business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want three stops. Jerry Allen is regular and basic. He's standard. He's not leather seats. He's cloth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That comment he made. Oh, I'm not saying it isn't, but go ahead. The comment he made shows what I've been talking about from day one. What comment? The, we're not making sweeping changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, there's only a couple teams really trying to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what I mean really trying to win, I'm not saying, hey, let's make it to the first round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, let's, let's see if we can get a guy in a first team, all defense. Let's do, no, I'm talking about all in championship caliber. That's why nobody likes LeBron James. That's why GMs have to take three years off because LeBron James puts pressure on you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All season JB has to take credit for this all blame for this all season. He did this and it irked me from get-go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they wouldn't play defense, they're gone. If shots didn't fall, they're gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, hey, hey, we gotta, you gotta go through this. That is not how you instill confidence in people. You tell them you're better than this and we have a standard here. We got a standard and a principle and what you're going to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mikey, do you have real quick, do you got, do you got the Jared Allen quote? Can I get that quote? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is crazy that you said that. Now my problem is this, and I throw this out to everybody else. We know this. You can't fool the fooler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know when you give an effort. An effort is not something you can just grow overnight. The problem is, I ain't worried about your skill set and why you can't, we can't throw you the basketball and you can't score underneath. At least you can keep other people off the boards. But the unforgivable thing is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For you to look in the mirror and say to yourself, yeah, I was scared. Yeah, I took an L.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After they was in the media laughing at you. And my problem is this. We can wish and hope all we want. The bottom line from basketball standpoint


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evan Mobley and Jared Allen did not play together. That is what it is. I'm beginning to think that too. Because. Geeze right. Because. You were 15th in rebounding. You can't. 15th. Which is effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't, even the stuff Evan Mobley does well, he's even hampered a little bit because Jared Allen is sitting there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought we had it. I don't know now. No, no, no, the organization don't have it because at the top of the organization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He just told you ain't nothing gonna happen. So that's, that's like you, you got children, right? You're a father. Did you, you know, you got kids that go to school and do something, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The teacher called you in, and you get there, and instead of asking what your kid did, you flipped the whole conversation on the teacher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said it, listen, here's what I'm not going to do no more. I'm not about to sit here and say who's washed and who's done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can Carmelo Anthony give me something more than I got from Jetty Osman? Sure the hell he can. Can Carmelo Anthony give me something better than needs than Ricky Rubio? Sure he can. At the end of the day, we gotta stop saying what we don't need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In lieu of being comfortable what we got. Right. And that comfortable nature turns real sour in your mouth when you get smoked by the Knicks. By the way, Bismack Beyond Bowl is available. I take him. DeMarcus Cousins is available. I kick the tires on him. And if you want to find out a way to get urban mobility together,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bring in Nikola Vujicic. I like him out of Chicago. He can hit a three. He's back to the basket guy and he's rugged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't feel they got the same, I don't feel like they got the same anything as Magic. The mental fortitude, the heart, the leadership, none of that. So if you don't got none of that, I don't know what's the catalyst for you going out here to make your life hard in the summer by doing stuff. I just don't, I don't see that type of team. I don't see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I tell you what, look man, uhm, I, I've said it, I'm on record with Santa and, and the only way you get people, uhm, together, you, you, you just, you just let them know how you feel. If the, if the cast think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna just come back and Kobe Altman, you do a press conference and you're gonna say, we're not making sweeping changes. I'm not paying attention to y'all like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is why, listen, to me, I'm switching it up. You know, certain things in your life change who you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not, uh, the, the, the people out there that have snide remarks for LeBron and what he do, uh, I'm no longer listening to any of those conversations. My block button is ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The block, defollow button, all that is ready. I'm not gonna do it because I understand how hard it is when a championship ain't just with, not only him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But J.R. Smith, all the Tristan Thompson slander, gotta quit too. I don't care who he dates. Stop it. He's not, listen, Tristan Thompson versus Jared Allen, you know who I'm taking. Anderson Verzal, that whole squad is now put in bubble wrap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, I'll be honest with you, man. There's a time, there's a time, you know, people say I don't take to losing very well. Uhm, we was playing, we was playing, uh, Buffalo one time. Buffalo was like ranked 117th. I'm steeped in country. And I'm at OU.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's this last in division one? We went to Buffalo and we got beat 40 to nothing. 41 nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was a freshman and I came back and I got, we got to, we got back to the stadium. We watched some film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, they had us running extra laps because, uhm, we had, we, we, we didn't have our socks at the right length. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just go with the monologue. I said, you know what? I said, it's a, it's a damn shame that you guys are out here trying to prove a point about running when you can't get a third down conversion. Why would you even call that? We running in the triple option still, and we're in the dark ages. This is not the Four Horsemen in Notre Dame in 1920s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We already running. We got beat 41-0 by the worst team in the game. And all you could come up with is running for socks, but no adjustments. You guys are great. You guys are great on discipline. You guys, listen, go to self. This ain't the military, right? Like you can't send me to a war. The only thing you can do is either take my scholarship or make me run more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need, I need that old dad Gilbert back. Dan, Dan, if you're listening, Dan, and you watch the show, hopefully you do. Tell your boy, Kobe, if, if that was just a smoke screen, hopefully it was, but tell him status quo won't get in the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love, I listen, I've been calling for him from day one. They say, gee Bush, calm down. You're not going to get no pictures early.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they really, they really like to take their time. They don't want to bring them out too early. And they need to ramp them up. I'm like, man, listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Mackenzie is out, right? You know, you losing guys left and right and you're not getting the run support that you thought you potentially could get. Oh, that's been terrible. It's horrible. You don't even get, you know, so what do you need to do? If you're not getting runs, you got to keep other people from scoring.

[Assistant] And so when I see Bobby down in, in AA, AAA, I'm watching this stuff. I'm like, man, this dude got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This dude, this dude got heat. He don't even look like he throwing that hard, but it is. And, and his, and the movement on his curve ball is crazy. He got four pitches. And so my process, my problem always with the guardians was, yeah, I know you, you telling me you got restraints on the purse strings. You can't go out and retain people or go out and get big, big name guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But your farm system is always jumping. So if we ain't gonna get, we not gonna get them from here, it's a couple ways you can get them. Through trades, you can use your young guys. Well, if you're not gonna get trades and you're not gonna spend money to keep big name guys, let me see some of the young dudes. And to their credit, they got Logan up there.

[Assistant] Hey, I like it. I'm watching it all, Bobbies. I'm into him. I like his glasses. I've never seen a white dude with the Malcolm X joints. He had the Malcolm X joints. The Malcolm Littles he had. I said, oh, I like him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, shortage. It's, it's just, it's, it's anemic, man. And, and like, if you can't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard to string together single after single after single. The statistics just say it's improbable. You need to get three or four hits in a row to get one, two runs. That is not efficient and it really hurts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you, you are for nothing. You get to the seventh inning and all of a sudden somebody give up a three-round home run, then a four-three. You'll be sick to your stomach because you done won. You made the plays in the outfield. You made the routine plays. You got off the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your pitchers been, been breezy. He may have gave you six and a half strong innings, a quality start and you give up one three run homer and you're like, Oh wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that, that is, uh, what's the guy with the, uh, the finger? Uh, Brian Baldwin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it the dude that used to be with the Jets and the Patriots?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you got a dancing bear in sand. That is very difficult to run on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty good one. That sounds like a medieval torture device. It does. But all you need to do is put some crude oil or some dung on there because it's lightable. Then you light it and then you roll it down the hill with that castle drawbridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was so good that I used to, I used to go back and forth from the NFL Networks coverage to the ESPN coverage. I wanted to see because, you know, they just, they would have different things to say about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Yeah, you know, you know, I will say this. It is a necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a necessary process. Uhm, you know, you said you would sort of top machete and he said, I hate this, but as a consumer, the day after mock draft, I love it as it is because what it does, it gives you context. Like these guys provide context to what you see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because a lot of people don't ever really watch guys up front. They don't watch linebackers. They don't really watch offensive lineman. They watch the ball. The quarterback throws the ball and somebody catches. Sometimes quarterback. But other than that, they don't watch any of the other positions. So when he comes out with his mock draft the next year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you're like, oh, well, let me, let me watch this guy. Sure. During the season. Now I can say he's going to be good or he's got prospects because at the end of the day, they're just providing you context. Well, how good that's how video games. They put it in the man ratings are huge. Yep. College football ratings are huge. And these guys, they, they really help pick how because think about it like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They tell you that they're fast. You don't know how fast they are till they go to the combine. That's true. You don't get none of that information. So how would you equate how to make a guy fast on a video game? You're right. You're right. They just take their word for it. And guess what? To be honest, they're kind of close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they, you know, like some of them, like they'll say he's really fast and then he'll go to the combine and not really run fast and they'll say, okay, well now we got to go back and look at the discrepancies. We'll figure out what's going on. Right. And he'll run, hopefully he runs faster than his pro day.

[Assistant] Do you guys think that Jackson Smith, what does Jackson Smith think? I think he was one of the biggest anomalies. Do you think he's going to do what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, we need, listen, I don't know, in my heart of hearts, I just keep telling myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just give me one more. I got good. God, when I can't really keep it injured a lot. Do you want them to go linebacker or wide receiver with their first pick wide receiver? I listen. I'm all look. Y'all going to play lineback. Y'all tell me all the time. Y'all told me all the time. Look, hey, you can listen. If you playing in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can win with a average bend, but don't break defense. But if you can't, if you can't score no points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would draft linebackers C16 in the fifth, sixth round, seventh round, but I would go out and I would sign another linebacker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They still, I believe they still need to go out and still, there's free agent linebackers that are still out there. I think you still need to kick the tires on them. Like the free agency period isn't done just because the draft is over, right? Right. You need to go out and signify and grab one of those dudes. And if you could do that, I feel much better about my team because guess what? The Baltimore Abans just got better. They just got better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, uh, I could've, I could've actually be truthful.
