[Assistant] That was the reset. That was the reset point. That was Detroit missing on Carmelo. Yep, exactly. Yep, exactly. When they were in a position. Yep. Uh, but yeah, I mean, I would ton of respect for Bob Myers. I think he's done a great job. But does the Wiseman pick means he's lost his fastball? Everybody misses. They all miss. It just hurts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it not that way at all anymore? Dan is not, Dan's not Dan anymore. I can't say it any differently than that. Things just run differently there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Early on I disagreed with a lot of the moves that they've made, but recently I think he's done a fine job. Like I'm not in any rush to move on from him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People don't want to hear this, but Bob Myers don't want to come clean. There it is!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the Cavs will spend as much as any team in the league. That's not the issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, when we, when we, when we, when we were covering them, when I was on the beat, I think, I mean, game seven was Fowler's Day, June 19th. The draft was a week later. Like, we had to jump right into the draft. I don't think they had a pick, but still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, well then you have summer league. So, and free agency, so the game seven was June 19th, and then the draft, and then free agency, and then summer league. By the time I could like shut the computer, it was like middle of July, about July 15th, 16th, and we were right back at it middle of September. So you got two months off. That's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Getting up shot, doing open runs. Most guys take a couple weeks off after the season, then they're right back in the gym. That's crazy. In New York, or LA, or Atlanta. Not in Cleveland. Yeaah, you're right. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I mentioned earlier, I just think that you're even more diluting, like everyone talks about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't think a team that wins 38 games in the regular season should be able to make the playoffs over a team that wins 43 or 44. Yeaah. Based on one game. The playing blows. I don't like, it's not going away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think a team that finishes 10th in its conference should make the play. That year was fine, but then they shouldn't have left it at that. Yeah, it's not going away though. It's here to stay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have so much invested in the receiver room already and they gotta pay Amari Cooper 23 million over the next two years or 11 million for him to go away. Like it's, you could say the cap is fake and it is at times but at times it's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd probably trade him. Like if you signed Hop right now, you'd probably trade him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no. I'm saying if you, if you bring Hopkins in, like, you're only keeping at most seven and likely six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It happened very quickly that the mob


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To try and say supportive things as much as he could and say nothing any other time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normal democratic process of U.S. government. It was a rally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stop the steal that was intended, uhm, to oppose the peaceful transition of power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay then my friends, so to enable a good offline experience, we know now that we want to cache certain resources that our app is going to use. But what resources do we actually need to cache?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, at the very least, we should be caching the core resources that make up the user interface of our web app. Static assets, like if we had a logo, we could cache that because that's gonna be the same on every page, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any core HTML like the index page or any core CSS like our style sheet or materialize or any images that we use in the site quite a lot. So this is known as the app shell and it will probably be very similar on every page of our app, right? They're assets that don't really change that much over time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So at the very least we should be caching these resources that make up this core app shell, the core design of our application. And that way, if we do lose connection at any point, we should still be able to open up the app and see some kind of actual app and content rather than the default Google Chrome error.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because our service worker is still going to be able to get those assets from the cache that it pre-cached. And this is known as the shell model approach to building PWAs. Where the shell of the application is the core layout and styling. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're gonna start by caching all of these kind of core assets that make up the shell of our application.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, where do we do this and at what point do we do it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, a good place to do it is inside the install events handler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because this happens every time a service worker file changes and then we reload the page. So we're not caching assets all the time, only when our service worker file changes, which might typically happen when you update the app and need to recache assets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember the assets that we're caching are ones that shouldn't change much over time. So they're not going to need constantly re-caching anyway. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is where we're going to do it, inside the install events handler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So first of all, what I'm going to do is comment out these console logs because I don't want those to get in the way anymore. And the next thing I'm going to do is say caches because we're going to access the cache API here. That's how we do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we're going to use the open method to open a cache. Now I'm going to pass a string in here, which is going to be the name of the cache. In fact, I'm not going to do that. I'm going to store a string in a constant at the top, which is going to be the cache name. So I'll say const and then we'll call it static cache.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Name and set it equal to site hyphen static. Now you can call this what you want. I'm calling it site static because these are going to be the static resources, the shell resources, if you like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this will be the name of our cache and I've stored it in a variable because we might use it more than once in this file. So I didn't want to keep writing it over and over. And if we change it, I have to update it many times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So anyway, now we're going to pass this variable name here into this open method. So what this is going to do is open this cache. If it exists, if it doesn't exist in the browser, then it's going to create that cache called site static, and then it's going to open it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this thing here, this is an asynchronous task, meaning it might take some time to do. Maybe not long, but either way it takes time to do. And it returns to us a promise. Therefore what we can do is tack on a .then method and inside we find a function when this promise is resolved. Now this function takes in the cache


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a parameter. So that is the cache that we open. We take it in this callback function once this open method is complete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So inside this callback function, we now have access to the cache and we can do something with it like add items to it. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now what do we want to add to it and how are we going to do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, to add items to the cache, we can use one of two methods. We can either say cache, which is what we receive back right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then use the dot add method to add a single item, or we can use dot add all to add an array of items. Now both of these methods, add and add all, both reach out to the server and get those resources.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if we use add and specify a resource inside that method, it's going to reach out to the server and get that one single resource.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we use add all, we pass in an array of resources and that is going to reach out to the server to grab all of those resources inside that array.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we're going to use addAll because we want to add an array of assets. There's multiple different assets that are going to make up the shell of our application. So that is the method that we'll be using.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what I'm gonna do, instead of adding the array of different assets right here and going down the page a lot, I'm gonna write all of the array assets up at the top and store those in a variable, much for the same reason I stored this in a variable, just in case we use them again later on and they're easy to access at the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm going to create another constant and I'll call this assets and set it equal to an array. Now inside this array, we need to pass in a load of different strings and each string is going to be a reference to a certain asset or resource that we want to cache.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the first one is gonna be just forward slash. Now I said they're gonna be references to resources, but actually what they are, are requests. Because if we request just forward slash in the browser,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we get the index page, right? So if we delete this and just go to just forward slash, then that is a request to just forward slash and we get the index page back. So what we're doing here is actually inside the assets, we're storing the request URLs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that make sense? Because what's going to happen is it's going to take all of these request URLs and make that request and then bring back the asset from that request. So this is one particular request a user might make to open up the index file. So we want to store that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because when we're storing assets in the cache, what we're doing is storing as a key to each asset, the request URL, which is going to be this thing. And as the actual value for that asset, we're going to store the response. Does that make sense that we get from the server?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that if in the future a user, oops, makes this request, then it's going to look in the cache for that request. That will be the key. And then it's going to look at the value to that key and the value will be the response that we got earlier that we pre-cache. And then we can send that back to the browser. I really hope that makes sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we need to do forward slash because that is a possible request that could be made in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So another possible request that could be made again for the index page is forward slash index dot HTML. So both of those we need to store because a user could make either of those requests. And in each case, we want to return the resource. So that's the first thing we want to store inside this asset to write.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second thing we want to do is the app.js file which is over here and also the ui.js file. So let's do forward slash js forward slash app.js.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to precache the dish image, which is inside the image folder right here, because that shows on the homepage. And we're also going to precache this CDN to the Google font library. Remember we are storing here or rather precaching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The request URLs, and this is the request URL for the material icon library.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which we have inside the index right here. So when our index page loads, it's going to try and request this. So that request is going to run through our service worker and it's going to see that we have this request, hopefully in the future, stored in our cache site static right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when it sees that, it's going to grab the response that we also store in the cache next to this as a value and then return that back to the user so we can use it offline. Okay, so it doesn't matter whether we're using our own assets like this or CDN assets like this. The process is the same. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now we have all of our assets right there stored in an array and we can pass them into this thing right here, assets. So what that is going to do is reach out to our server and it's going to grab all of the responses from these requests and also the response from these requests and it's going to add them to the cache.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now what I'm also gonna do is just log to the console. Console.log Caching Shell


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Assets so that we know that this is being done at this moment in time. Let's just add the semi colons. Okay. So this is all happening inside the install event. Remember? So when a new service worker is being installed to the browser and that only happens when we change the file. Now there's one problem with this code right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the install event is fired, it might only take a split second for the service worker to be installed. So this install event right here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Might only last a very small amount of time. Now after that, the browser might stop the service worker completely if it's doing nothing else. And we don't want it to do that until we finish this cache operation right here. Which is actually asynchronous and might take longer to do than this thing right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that would mean that we can't be certain that the caching is complete before the browser declares the service worker fully installed and potentially stops the service worker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now to combat this we need to use a method on the event called wait and till. So what I'm going to do right here is say evt because that is the event object that we get as a parameter in this callback function when this event fires. We use the method called wait and till right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it doesn't finish the install event until this promise is resolved. Okay. So we can be certain now that all the assets will be cashed before this finishes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm just gonna neaten this up a little bit by putting this onto the next line and scooting this in like so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that is everything done now. So just to run through it again, we're saying event wait until we pass in caches to open to open a cache. If it exists, it opens it. If it doesn't exist, it creates it, then opens it. And once this task is done, it fires this callback function where we add all of these different assets. So let's try this out in a browser. I'm going to save it right here and go to the browser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what I'm going to do is just have a look now inside our cache storage. See now we have one called site static.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we didn't have to reload or anything because it says update on reload and the browser automatically reloads when I make a change over here in my code.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it activated the new service worker and installed the new service worker. And during that installation, we did all of this right here. And if we go to the console, we should be able to see if I refresh that we're caching the shell assets. You saw that right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what happened is if we go to the cache over here, it created this site static cache and it stored all of these different things inside the cache. And we have the path over here that it stores and also the response that we get from the server right here and the content inside that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now in the future, if we need any of this stuff, we don't have to make a round trip to the server and back to get it. Now we can just reach out to the cache and get it from there. And I'm going to show you how to do that in the very next video.

And there are very few people who have stages named after them. And I was like, well they must have done something for you if you've made them over a billion dollars. And I learned that there's nothing. I looked everywhere on the lot. So I did something for you. I gave you a banister.

[Assistant] The interesting thing about the internet is that it builds community. You can find people who feed into your negativity or your fears or your bigotry.

[Assistant] And so that's what Alex Jones has been able to do. I mean, he's been able to mobilize people based on their fears. For many they're ignorant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alex Jones is able to tap into some real deep dark fears that white Americans explicitly have about the future of their country, uh, who's in it, who's controlling it, and their placement in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so someone like Alex Jones, who can come in with wild theories and Donald Trump repeats it as fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have newspapers printing it as fact.

[Assistant] So uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we'll get to that real quick. I went one and one on Friday. I finally hit my first baseball slump here. I think I'm like, I've lost four of seven or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, I was thinking about going against the A's today, but they are such a big underdog that even plus, even minus one and a half runs against them. I bet it. They were still like minus 170.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna break, I think they're gonna break that Mets record of 40 and 120. 1962? Yea, and that was expansion team. Expansion Mets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and the A's haven't had, you know, good attendance for a while, but that stadium is so awful, and the team's been bad for a while, and you know, at one point, I think the A's were kind of considered in that same vein with the Rays and the Guardians, and now they've gone, in the last like half decade, they've gone way aw- way away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the Tigers, I like the Tigers at the Royals. It's basically a pick-em game. Uh, the Tigers, you know, first of all, we all know the AL Central is one of the worst divisions I've ever seen. Uh, the, the, the Guardians just keep on losing and they're not really that far out. No. But the Tigers quietly have played pretty well since a bad start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I thought so. They are. The Royals are the worst of the bunch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Tigers have a pitcher named Michael Lorenzen who came off the injured list a couple weeks ago. And his last three starts, including one against the Guardians have been the lights out. He looked great against us. Yes, he was great. So, you know, he's, uh, he's pitching great and he's facing the Royals. It's a pick-up game. I think I like the Tigers tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jim Brown is the Browns, essentially. When you think about it, like, we always talk about the fact that not just, in Cleveland, people root for the Browns. That's obvious. It's Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But around the country, the reason there are so many Browns fans, there's two reasons why there's a lot of Browns fans that are 60 and older all around the country. Those two reasons are Paul Brown and Jim Brown. That's it. That's the list, right? And my dad was a Browns fan because he loved Paul Brown and he loved Jim Brown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when they were gone, you know, he was angry and a lot of people were angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the reason there are so many 60 and 70 and 80 year olds


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All over the country and all over the world is Paul Brown and Jim Brown. They are to this day to some degree, Jim Brown is still the face of the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one's been able to do that. And near the top of all time in terms of yards per carry. I think he's third. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He played nine years in the NFL, right? His last year, his last year, when he retired and did the Dirty Dozen, which I love that movie. This is my favorite stat, by the way, where you're going. His last year, he led the league in yards, he led the league in carries, he led the league in touchdowns. I mean, 21 touchdowns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's amazing when Boogie was talking about, like, guys that you think of with teams. Most of those guys have played much more recently than Jim Brown. Right. And just, we haven't had that player. I mean, there's guys that, you know, you think about with the Browns, but not like Jim Brown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess for me, the first guy I think about is Anthony Munoz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think Munoz was the greatest bangle ever. So that's why I pick him. But you know, but the thing about Jim Brown also, we talk about this with Lebron. Like it feels like Lebron, if he had gone into any sport would have been great. Like if he had concentrated on soccer or baseball, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, it feels like the same thing with Jim Brown, right? Like Jim Brown was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A legendary lacrosse player. He held records in high school basketball. I didn't even know this until recently. I didn't realize he was that good a basketball player in high school. Like I'm sure he was great. He was probably great at anything he did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's, you don't find, like, there's guys who are great at their sport, but it's the rare athletes. The Bo Jackson, the LeBron James, the Jim Brown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're certainly not everybody, but a lot of the people voting in these awards, there's still some, there's still racism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no doubt. And to your point, Jay, I was, I saw this quote earlier, so I just wanted to bring it back up because I want to make sure. John Mackey, who played at Syracuse after Jim Brown and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Jim Brown, like a lot of younger running backs, Ernie Davis, uh, mentored the running backs that came through Syracuse, especially through Syracuse. John Mackey was talking about Jim Brown. I don't know when, oh, this was in 1999.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, Jim Brown told me quote, make sure when anyone tackles you, he remembers how much it hurts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He lived by that philosophy and I always followed that advice. So, you know, you think of a running back taking the hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] from the linebacker or the defensive lineman and they're the one that's feeling the pain. Jim Brown's philosophy was, you're going to tackle me, it's going to hurt you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No fall off at all. Yea, I mean, we talked about before. Eight out of his nine years, he led the league in rushing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 7 out of 9 years he had over 1,000 yards. Again, not a 16 or 17 game season. 12, 12 or 14. And he only was under 1,000 yards his rookie season and then one of the year he didn't lead the league rushing at 900 something yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. It's amazing. And he, I mean, he was all pro eight out of nine years. I mean, the list goes on and on. It's crazy. Uh, you wonder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did he mean personally to you? Well, I mean, I just, what he did, well first of all, one of my, my first memories of Jim Brown is seeing the movie The Dirty Dozen. I loved that movie. Did you know he was a football player?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember at the time if I knew it, I mean, obviously the movie came out before I was born, but I remember watching, my dad wanted me to watch it when I was a kid, and so I must have been like seven, eight years old, and I think the movie came out


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even remember exactly what year, 67? I was gonna say 57. It was after he retired. I think it was 67 that the movie came out. And I remember watching it in the late 70s, you know, as a young kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I loved it. And what, I mean, it had incredible cast, Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Telly Savalas. And he was good at it. He was great. Like, I mean, you would never know that he was a football player turned actor. No, and for those, I'm sure young guys, have any of you guys, have you seen it? Have you guys, any of you guys seen it? I've seen it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this scene towards the end where he's gotta run and drop all the grenades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, players often, uh, these days you're seeing players speak up a little bit, but with the civil rights movement, the Cleveland summit with him and Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Muhammad Ali protesting the Vietnam war and fighting for civil rights. I mean, that had to be so huge to people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you see these guys who put, essentially put their careers on the line to say, we gotta, hey, we're having a successful life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we have to do more for our community. Right. When so often people can be selfish, but these guys all said, hey, you know, we gotta, we gotta do it. And that was obviously extremely impactful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, his last year he had four receiving touchdowns, which was I think the most of his career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Jim Brown played in an era where he was just head and shoulders more talented than a lot of the other players in the league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And top to bottom there's more talent now. However, I do think Jim Brown would have translated in any era as a great player. I believe that. I do too. Uh, whereas I'm not so sure about some of these like quarterbacks from the fifties and sixties would they have translated. But a guy who's a great back in those days when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, because playing quarterback in those days was so different, but running back, yeaah, I mean it's different now, but in a way it's easier being a running back now than it was then. Right. As opposed to being a quarterback now, it's just so much more responsible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's insane. Yea, I mean he averaged over 100 yards per game in seven of his nine seasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Leroy, uhm, you know, obviously when he retired, he was getting into movies, we talked about Dirty Dozen before, and he was very much involved with other big time athletes at the time in the civil rights movement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he was still at the top of his game when he retired. We talked about him forming at 1,500 yards and 21 touchdowns in his last season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over all the years that you talked with him, my guess is no, but I was wondering, like, did he ever regret retiring when he did or just he had too many other things he wanted to do, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leroy, last thing on a lighter note, uhm, you mentioned movies, right? Jim Brown and Lawrence Taylor, who you played golf with all the time, both were in any given Sunday. How did they not get you a spot in there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No way. You'd think if anybody would argue like Lawrence Taylor is pretty intimidating too. Right, yeaah. That's like one of the most intimidating. Right, the greatest offensive player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got an idea, Bull? Yeaah, I think they should do multiple things. There should be a 32 on the helmet, in my opinion, and 32 in the middle of the field. That's what I think too. The Browns, in my opinion, in the Jimmy Haslem era, have not done a very good job honoring the greats of the franchise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, but I've talked to some players off, off the field. I'm not naming any names obviously. Right. And there's been, and I've said this to, to one member of the Browns front office, the guys have said, you know, like, you don't always feel welcome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they've gotten better the last couple of years, but they better do this right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the helmet, on the field and the Browns this year need to play with the heart of Jim Brown because they haven't done that in a long time and they need to play with the toughness and the fight and the heart that Jim Brown had and putting it at 32 right in the middle of the field and on the helmets that would say something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and Leroy talked about what he had to deal with, like, having to stay in a different hotel. Like, we know those things happen, but it's still, every time you hear it, it's hard to believe, like, that these things happen. But like, so he paved the way and he opened doors for so many people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he also opened the doors in a way for stardom in football. Because to that point,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baseball and horse racing and boxing were all bigger than football. By far. Right? And Jim Brown, I feel like, and maybe I'm wrong, but to me it feels like Jim Brown was the first superstar in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do too. Basketball probably too. I think, I think, I believe his senior year in high school he averaged over 30 points a game. He was a freak on the basketball court. Yea, I mean, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think the quote was, I think the quote was, if you need one yard, I'll get you three. If you need one yard, I'll get you three. Yeah, that's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, I would not have had, um, Adrian Peterson in my top 5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had more jaw-dropping plays. No one. Nobody. Yep. Jerry Rice. No position. What was his last year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was literally like. One mistake. If you missed one tackle. You're done. Like that's it. Yea, you didn't get a second chance at it. I remember in those years it was like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because in those days you weren't, you know, you couldn't see all the football games like you can now. So when the Lions...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it's, well, the Lions are getting good again. But for many years, it's boring to see the Lions on Thanksgiving. But when Barry Sanders was on the Lions, that was like one of the highlights of the football season. Cause growing up in New York, I'm sure here too, I didn't get to see the Lions play that much. Cause they stunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Dickerson's right there. I'll tell you a guy gets left out all the time of these debates, but shouldn't be. Bo Jackson?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Bo Jackson didn't do it long enough, although he would have been. Marshall Falk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like he gets lost. My only beef with Peterson, and obviously Peterson is a top 10 and arguably a top 5 back of all time. My only beef with Peterson is for his era, he was kind of a one dimensional back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jim Brown, Peyton, uh, Walter Peyton and Barry Sanders, you could put those three in any order. I think they're one A, B, and C. If I had to choose, I would put Barry one, Jim Brown two, and Peyton three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did. I mean, you know, what was his rookie year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazing. He was pretty to watch. He was. And I was only four years old when Walter Payton was a rookie in the NFL, so obviously I don't remember the early portion of his career, but when the Bears won the Super Bowl with him, I mean, he was their entire offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know a lot, when they did the 30 for 30 on the Bears, they, on that team, they, a lot of the other players talked about that Peyton was pissed about that. And that, I mean, Jim McMahon, you know, he had that one good year. That was his only good year really. That was basically it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, and, and they had, uh, who was their great wide receiver? Uh, Willie Gault. Yeah, I mean, that's the greatest team I've ever seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got a long way to go, but I believe Nick Chubb, now again, you got to hold it against him that he doesn't catch passes in terms of the all time list. But I believe he's third all time in yards per attempt, Nick Chubb. He is. He's up there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I wonder, I mean, it's not like, you know, remember in that playoff game he did have some drops, uh, uh, but, but, I, for the most part, he hasn't had drops. They just don't throw it to him a lot. I wonder this year, even though Jerome Ford will be there, Jerome Ford is not, I, I would think, I know we're talking about they're gonna throw a lot, and I agree with that, but I think Nick Chubb will have a higher percentage of plays on the field


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I think he'll get more passes this year. I wonder if he ends up with a career high in receiving yards for him, which is probably not that high. No, it'd be interesting to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was like a spoof. Also, oh my God, I just forgot he was in the movie with Schwarzenegger. Oh God, uh, The Running Man. Was he? The Running Man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? I just remembered it now. Because he said boxing, and I remember. So the running man, Schwarzenegger, was, uh, in jail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who the hell knows what? It's like a dystopian society in the entire, all of Earth. And Schwarzenegger...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's either going to get killed for being a criminal or he can go on this game show where you could get killed, but if you survive, you're clear of all your criminal behavior. So Schwarzenegger goes on the show. By the way, the host of the show was Richard Dawson, who you still have family feud and the game's rigged, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In each event, you have to fight against one of the, you know, the guys who tried to kill the running man. They're all these different characters, almost like wrestling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the champy, the all-time champ was Jim Brown. And for most of the movie, he's in the high rollers room, hanging out with the mucky mucks. But then the, the, those guys keep getting killed. So eventually he goes down to fight against Schwarzenegger. It was pretty cool. I had thought about that movie in a while, but he was great. But the concept sounds fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, in the second, in the first game of the doubleheader yesterday, the Guardians were down, they came back, and then they still lost late. In the eighth inning. In the eighth inning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 12-blown Saints! I think he's given up 6 or 7 home runs. Yeaah, I mean, as a whole, the bullpen's been just awful. Pretty much across the board. And those are just soul-crushing losses. I mean, he had a huge lead on the Mets on Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, it was, and it was unbelievable. And the three runs they gave up, they had given up one, obviously you had the runner on second. But then it was two outs. Yeaah. And then single, single, single, and Lindor kills him, gets knocked to the game winning run on Friday. Lindor hit the home run to tie the game last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The worst division in baseball. I feel like every day I keep expecting to look at the standings and see them 10 out because they've lost 20 of their last 31 games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not like they were playing that great before this. Their season high is three games over 500. They were nine and six. I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, 9 and 6, and they've lost 20 of 31 since then. So, that's a problem. Like, if you're 9 and 6 and you lose 20 of 31, in most cases, you're double-digit game's out. You're done. Even if it's still mad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The A's by the way are allowing two runs more per game than the second worst team in baseball. Two more runs per game. I think the White Sox are the second worst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] get red hot. Yeah, the pr and I still think they go as all and right now, they team. Right now, this mo an awful baseball team, well, they're not pitching anything. Well, I think t throwing well. That's the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're solid or better. Pitched well enough to win the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's some issues in the back end of the rotation obviously with the injuries, but I'm fine with the rotation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean- I would think by- That guy can't hit him! Alright, and Bo Nailer needs to stay in the majors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LeBron's been down 3-0 three times in his career in the playoffs. And never won the... He won one game. Oh, I thought he was... He's won in... His teams are 1-3 after being down 3-0.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can't be stopped right now. How, have you ever seen a team like, or a better example of how much coaching matters? No, I don't think I have. We don't think of coaching in the NBA like we do in football. And it doesn't mean as much. Oh, and as good as Spolstra has been. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't understand in game two, remember in game two of Miami, Boston, when uh, what's his name, Grant Williams was talking trash to Jimmy Butler. Yes, yes, yes. Like at that point, Jimmy Butler just went bonkers and they never double teamed him. Never.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you make of that, Mike, as Mr. Basketball? Like, how did they not double-team Butler in game two when he's gone bananas?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's going to be Denver, but I think it's going to be a really good finals. I hope it is, because these are eggs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jamal, like game two, Jamal Murray did not play well the first three quarters and then he went nuts in the fourth quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember that, like, down the stretch, the last minute of game two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Lakers were down 4, I believe, with like 50 seconds to go, and LeBron missed an easy layoff. Oh, LeBron's been horrible shooting the ball. And like, you wonder...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Game one, he's just taking three. Will we look back and say that was the moment where LeBron stopped being LeBron?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. He has not looked like LeBron James in this series. I mean, he's old. I mean, he's still 23, 7, and 12. Yeaah, I mean, listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huh? Huh? Huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we've got a couple messages starting the end of last week and the last few days that when people go back and watch the show, especially the live show, the full two hour thing, the audio synchrocy is off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we have, A, first off, we appreciate you guys alerting us because we don't go back and watch our own live show. We do it live. We only go back if we need to find something specific. So thank you for alerting us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just an update for you. A, we have alerted our IT people. Our IT people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have found that it happens sometimes, it doesn't happen other times. Which means it's not an us issue, it's a YouTube issue. So we've pinged YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are actively looking into it and hopefully next week we'll have some sort of resolution for you guys. So appreciate your guys' patience. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are aware, IT's aware, and literally YouTube, the powers that be that power all of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are also aware of the issue and we are actively working to sort that out. So once again, sorry from the whole UCSS crew. I know it's a pain in the butt to deal with that, but we are actively working on making that back to normal and seamless for you guys to watch if you can't catch it live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw the best stat of my life this morning. It was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What teams currently would have to go throughout the rest of the season to break the Mariners regular season win record?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the A's, you know how the Mariners won 116 games? What teams have to go to then beat that? The A's have to go like 96 and 4, or 96 and 7, or whatever some absurd number that is. And they essentially have to go perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one out of two with Urban Meyer as your head coach in the first one, which I think we could completely scrap from the record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing Cam does say a lot, and then we'll move on to baseball, that I do agree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Copy and paste replica of 2020 Houston Watson for the Browns to be successful this year. Well, they only won four games, so yeah, not his... But his numbers, like we don't need, necessarily, we don't need 4,900 yards and 35 touchdowns for him to win. But it's gotta be pretty close. He has to be good!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, I don't think we need 4,900 yards and 35 touchdowns for the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm saying that, but. If the Sean Watson. G. Bush had said, and this is what Cam said, we need the 2020 version of Watson for them to compete. Yes, in that neck of the woods. Absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he throws for 4200 yards and 31 touchdowns. Well, that's not that far off than what we're talking about. Well, the analogy G's used, and I hate to keep throwing this back to G, but G was like, I need 5,000 yards and 40 plus touchdowns. I need five racks. I'm sorry. I think that is pushing the limit. If he does that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying he could be a bum and then compete, but I think there's a vast difference from having one of-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Statistically speaking, one of the greatest seasons ever for a quarterback. Yeaah. I think he was the second highest QBR in the history that PFS has been tracking, which I know is not the end all. It's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what it was. Which I know is not the end all be all, but it's a historically great season in certain contexts. I don't think he needs to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But my point is, we don't need historically great Deshaun Watson. Now, he can be historically great in context of what Brown's quarterbacks have done. I would like to see him have the best team from the Brown's quarterbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the Browns were in the NFC right now, they could have Baker level Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had a ceiling with Baker, and that ceiling was maybe first round, one playoff win. With Watson, the ceiling is win a Super Bowl. I just don't think you need historically, unbelievably, otherworldly Watson to reach that ceiling with the rest of the roster constructed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't. I think they have one of the three or four best rosters, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For them to compete this year. And when I say compete, I'm talking about- Make the playoffs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They better make the playoffs this year. No, what is compete? Define compete. To me is be in the hunt for an AFC Championship. I think putting Super Bowl aspiration on this team is too early.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying, they have to win a playoff game this year. Okay. But I look at the season as a failure. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't have to have the second greatest PFF grade for a quarterback ever. Of course not!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure if every quarterback's taking their offensive teammates to a tropical destination like he's done the last two years. They're all putting in offseason work together, but it is good to see video proof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that we had any doubt, but just good to silence anyone. I think Jay had doubt. Just to silence anyone who had a single question that Deshaun Watson wasn't putting in work this offseason. There is video proof of him doing it. Yeaah. He's working with his teammates. By the way, there's no proof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tim, I'm filling in for, uh, Jay Crawford today. Jay woke up with a migraine, but he wanted me to send a hello and he misses you from, uh, you guys' days together at ESPN. So that is my message from Jay Crawford. Do you have a Jay story, by the way, before I get into my other question?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jay talks about his playing days all the time, so I'm glad we got some real confirmation that he actually does know how to throw. Uh, Tim, my real question is this. You've been covering Major League Baseball forever. You've interacted and you know these managers better than we can ever imagine. What makes Terry Francona so different and so special and so successful as a manager in today's game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tim, you're on the call this Sunday for Sunday Night Baseball Guardians Mets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you guys travel and do these productions, what makes coming to Cleveland and Progressive Field such a unique experience?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of teams who, uh, may not have a chance to him, the Oakland A's are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The worst team I've ever seen. There's something else. You know, we'll put it that way. Bull told me before the year they had the worst roster he had ever seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess my question is Tim, is this the worst Major League Baseball team you've ever come across?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then the guardians who do a lot of things right are dead wrong on this one. You look at the numbers and I know


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baseball's so subjective, as Tim said, you can get hot, you can get cold. Well, hey, Bownailer's been pretty good in AAA this year. 9 homeruns, 37 hits. That's more than Cam Gallagher, Mike's Nino combined, times 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you look at that alone, give me Bo Neller, we talk about the pitching staff with the guardians, how the young guys, uh, Bybee, Allen, and even Battenfield for a little bit, kind of sparked their rotation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well this offense is absolutely abysmal. Why not bring up a guy who at least you can see may be able to provide a spark for the rest of the guys in that lineup in it. If nothing else, he can't be worse. He literally cannot be worse than what they've had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not that, that old. But catchers get older quicker. But catchers get older quicker. And, gee, have you seen his Mace stats? I know you're a big stats guy. Hey, did we pull up the catcher stat graphic I made?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did it? Yes, Kam Gallagher had an RBI single yesterday, they were 0 for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess they were, he was 1 for 3 yesterday, so they were 0 for 43 heading into yesterday with more RBI. That's combined. That's combined. That is Zinino and Gallagher combined. Zinino by himself in 15 games in May is 0 for 27 with 21.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We looked at, we had this conversation multiple times last year. The guardians catching combination of melee and hedges was historically bad. And somehow they got worse this year. And somehow they actually downgraded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to ask Tim if he thinks the guardian small ball style of play is sustainable not just to win a division in a bad AL central but can you win a world series like that and bad job out of me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wanna hear a funny little tidbit on the uh, catcher stats by the way? The historically bad catcher stats? So they have two RBI's in May.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Cam Gallagher's was a single. So, it's not even two real hits that led to RBI's, it was a single and a guy won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we go from Collie to Matt Coller, I believe I pronounced that right, from Vikings Insider, purpleinsider.com. What's up, Matt?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Matt, Albert Brewer was on another program in the city, I believe two days ago, and was asked about Sedarius Smith and he...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knowing what you know about Zedarius Smith and his time in Minnesota, did you ever hear any rumblings about him not being, you know, an upstanding guy in the locker room or have any character issues like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Matt, you know, he comes over with Dalvin Tomlinson and chemistry along the defensive line between two different pass rushers is a big deal. So the Browns getting two guys who have worked together in Tomlinson and Smith should help them assimilate into this new Jim Schwartz defense. When you look from a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna ask you from an outsider's perspective now, looking at the Browns. So Darius Smith, Dalvin Tomlinson, Myles Garrett, they signed Oboah Quantreaux with some other guys they've drafted. I know it's kind of similar to that Minnesota defensive line with Garrett swapping out for Dino Hunter, who's also an elite pass rusher, but how do you block those guys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting. Matt, how long have you been covering the Vikings? Just out of curiosity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you were there for quite a while when Kevin Stefanski was the offensive coordinator. In your opinion, what would you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's your take on Stefanski as an offensive creator and a play caller?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cue that clip. We'll tweet it out on them. Make sure it's out there. So uh, take a note. It was 12, 25, 26ish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two points, one to your point about do we ever think, eh, we're gonna do a segment in a second on some Jared Allen trades, and I'm gonna show you what Anthony said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes two people could be right at the same time, even if they're coming out from different perspectives. Juan Thornhill can say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Juan, come on in, dude. Like, I know my sister lived in Shardsville for a few years. You went to University of Virginia. We'll talk about the Citizen Burger. Best burger in Virginia, by the way. Come on in, we'll pull up a chair whenever you want. It's not the first pitch of the Guardians game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next week, maybe she's coming before then. Love to have you in, but I think Juan has a point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think what you said is totally valid. I think both are absolutely right at the same time, even though you may be coming out from different perspectives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We started the whole show speaking of just random arguments. A, the picture you sent us of Aaron this morning. What was he wearing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yea, Juan, anytime you wanna pull up, seriously, we would love to have you, we-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so we talked on Tuesday. We did some potential three and D free agents for the Cavaliers and Jason went through. Jason set up the three that I presented, which was Malik Beasley, Dante DiVincenzo, and Georges Niang. DiVincenzo was in his opinion their best option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But after that, and we're gonna do next week, I got some, some feedback on that, we'll do some other free agent options potentially, we'll go through that next week, but afterwards, he was like, I don't care where they sign for a 3 in D wing, they gotta trade Jared Allen. So you give me a challenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'ma go to the ESPN trade machine. It's one of my favorite places to spend a few hours on a random Tuesday afternoon. And I came up with some potential Jared Allen trades that met a couple criteria. One, it had to be successful on ESPN.com, which is not the perfect trade machine concoctor, but at least it does the math for you. So I didn't have to do the math. So the numbers had to work out. Two, it had to be realistic. Like we're not trading


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Jared Allen to the Hawks when they have Clint Capella. So it couldn't be to a team that I thought doesn't need a center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. None of these are even remotely- Anthony's- Anthony's is gonna blow up. If y'all- Anthony is- Hold up, Anthony. Hold up, hold up. Anthony has never said anything controversial on the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all are going to be pissed off at Anthony about that. I'm telling y'all right now. Okay. So the caveats, money had to work. It had to go to a team that needed a center and it had to bring something back to the Cavs that made them better. In my opinion, at least fair trade, fair trade. Yes. Which we'll see what there's fair, maybe at the window, but trade number one, Anthony, you can take it full. Two trades with the Mavs. The first one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Send Jared Allen to the Mavericks, you get Tim Hardaway Jr., an equally priced wing, and Theo Pinson back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can create a little bit of offense. He's 6'5", he's not a great defender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, he brings an element to this team of 3 and D. What do you shoot from 3?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 39%, about a 40% for his career. And he averaged about 15, 16 points per game as a legit number three option in Dallas with Luca controlling the ball very often. So he's used to playing without the ball. He's, it's not my favorite of the ones. We'll get to my favorite a little bit, but that was one that, that at least worked on paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all these moves. Just move in the deck chair. Yeah. All these moves. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and Evan Mobley will play the five with more shooting around. My end goal of this is Evan Mobley is now your five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trade number two is my favorite of the four. It also involves the Mavs, but instead we are sending Jared Allen and Dean Wade to Dallas and in return getting Maxie Kleba, Reggie Bullock and JaVale McGee back. If you guys aren't familiar

[Assistant] McGee's just your, replaces Robin Lopez essentially. Bullock is a guy who stands in the corner and shoots threes at a very high percentage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They need a room running pick and roll threat with Jared Allen. They have no center. Christian Wood who played center for them this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you get two starters out of that trade. I think Bullock starts at the three as a floor spacer. Who does it? Yea, neither of them need the ball offensively. They will stand in the corner and shoot three. So that gives you Mobley, Garland, Mitchell to run pick and rolls with and two shooters in the corner. And can McGee play a few minutes off the bench? He's your Robin Lopez. So yea. He's better than Robin Lopez. I believe he's still better than Robin Lopez.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vassel, he's a really good player, isn't he? Vassel, he's a second year guy though. Steve, pull the trade back up here real quick. So he's not nothing. And they got Kelvin Johnson to score 20 points. The buck eye?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do. So in this trade, you send Jared Allen to the Spurs, you get Doug McDermott, Ken Burch, and Malachi Brand on back. Here's why I think it makes sense on both sides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Onebunyama is 7-4, he's a center, yes, but defensively, I don't think you can count him to be a true center yet. Put him next to Jared Allen, the perfect role model for a young guy to go in there. They have cap space, so they have 40 million in cap space, they can take a little money back in this deal. Allen, servicely, he's, he's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without a doubt, a serviceable center. Is he an all-star? He was. Is he still? I don't think so. But he's certainly a serviceable center. In this trade back, you get Doug McDermott, who is a very, very capable stretch four. Can play a little bit of the three, but he's more of a stretch four. He can actually come off screens unlike


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Maxie Kleban, the last one, you can run some sets for him. Yeah. Ken Burch is your backup big there. He's, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not a, not a, but he's not a total, he's a stiff, he's a, he's a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, I do like the idea of San Antonio looking to get a veteran big to pair with one Benyama, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Second year, he was a rookie last year, so he's, you know, he's got some potential, and he would fit in. Okay, my last trade I came up with, with the Thunder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know no one on the Thunder averaged five rebounds a game last year? That's correct. Zero people on the Thunder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now they get Chet Holmgren coming back in, he was off injury, but just like Wemba Nama, Chet Holmgren weighs about a buck sixty-two, soaking wet. I'm not sure if you're ready to have him be your true center, which is where Jared Allen comes into play. Lou Dort, he makes a lot of money, you can almost do that straight up, those two money-wise, he's a, well it's Lou, it's Lugen Dort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, when I went to do the Dallas pilot, I texted this guy Nick, who's the Locked On Mavs podcast guy, who's phenomenal. Nick Engstad, if you haven't checked him out and you like the Mavericks, phenomenal. He's one of the top, top, top, top talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's like, eh, it's a lot to give up for a center, but Luka, he needs a big guy. He needs a rim runner. He needs someone who could anchor the defense. And he gave me, I'd have to think on it. So at least that meant to me, it's plausible. It's plausible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could be one of those moves that shuffles things up on both ends for the sake of shuffling things up. And the Spurs, I actually think it helps the Spurs more than it helps, like Jared Allen's by far the best player in that deal. McDermott's a nice piece, but you're getting three pieces for the one. But I think that trade works the best maybe for both teams as how we would improve both teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ken Burke, who's another backup center. Who's, and he can shoot a little bit. Can't shoot a little bit, but he's- But you get three useful players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, thank you, by the way. Uh, this next show, I'm gonna set up G here because it was something I was looking at. My buddy Matt Kolker, who I played basketball with, I asked him, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're doing Jared Allen trades, send me your trade. And he suggested something that then G amplified. So I'm going to tell you what he suggested, then we're going to pull up G's trade. G can explain his.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wanted to trade Jared Allen for OG and an OB straight up. They wouldn't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I told them, probably unrealistic. So then G came back and G amplified that trade. So G, here's your trade involving Jared Allen and OG and an OB.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well they turned down two first round picks at the deadline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got hold of one thing on G-Straight, one thing on G-Straight, if you could get Ananobe, that is the perfect fit alongside Garland and Mitchell and Mobley. However, however, I don't think they have the access to get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Earl told me he was working on this yesterday. He had to add a third team in. So let's see it. Earl, explain and tell me your thought process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll tell you, the Cleveland Cavaliers get Jalen Greene and Kevin Porter Jr. from the Rockets. The Rockets get Kleba, JaVale McGee, Josh Greene, and Theo Pinson from the Mavs. And the Mavericks get Jared Allen, Washington Jr., and Deshawn Nix from the Rockets. Why on earth would the Rockets make this trade?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you think the Spurs would take Akuro and Rubio for the number one pick? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They'd have to think about it. Think twice. I don't know. I'll throw in Dean Wayne if they really need to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we showed a picture, we started over time with Bull from high school, right? And before we show the picture, you guys said, hey, we should roast Bull. So here's your chance. Pull the picture up. We got three minutes. Anthony Earle, scowl in the chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jeff is really Mrs Cleveland. He had a great time there. He went to Las Vegas after that. Now he's in Philadelphia and he's doing really really well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he enjoyed his time in Cleveland, and I don't know if you guys know this, but the first year he was there,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the defense is the worrisome part because Mike Zanino's always been a good defensive catcher, but those shoulder issues I was told in spring training


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when he's not, he hits under 200 and doesn't get on base very much either. So yes, at times, you know, the, the, any, the guardians are going to have to look at this and say, all right, are we getting enough production? Do we have to make a move? I think Zanino gets a little more time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're really good at bringing pitchers in, and obviously they have to get Tristan McKenzie, they gotta get Savali back, they gotta get their pitching straight now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we all know they don't have a particularly powerful lineup. But last year, they figured out ways to score runs. They stole bases. They put the ball in play like no other team. And it's possible some other teams have recognized this is how they score runs. We are going to try to combat that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they need a lot of help offensively. If they're gonna run down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] that they've played this still only three and a ha the twins. Pitching is go the bullpen is fine. The have to get some people go you talked about last year and Rosario guys who are r and haven't been nearly as


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I will, I will tell you that Jay was a dear friend of mine. We went to the bet. We went, we did a show in like Phoenix or something doing the Giants and Jay still plays baseball at a pretty high level. So he jumped in against the pitching machine throwing. It was at least 85. It might've been 90 and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, I can hit this and I'm thinking, Jay's a good ball player. He's a good athlete. I'm not disputing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's, he's just got a great feel for people, and that's the most important thing about being a manager. You have to know...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What button to push on this guy? Cause every guy has a different button and he needs it pushed at different times and Tito has always, always figured out


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is a gift that he has and a lot of people don't. He used to tell me that he would play cribbage before games all the time. As you guys know, he played with Dustin Pedroia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By watching him and playing cribbage with him before the game. Never heard a manager say it quite like that. But that's Tito's greatest gift is his ability to deal with people and of course his ability to deflect attention away


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From his team when things aren't going poorly. Now I hope this comes across properly. If it doesn't, I apologize. Years ago


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want you to know that Tito is the absolute best at meeting people, recognizing what they can do and they can't do, and it's always self-deprecating on his part to deflect the attention away from his players so they can go out and play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they're in a tricky spot because they're in a lousy division. The Royals are really bad. The Tigers aren't very good. The White Sox look


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They should do that if they have a chance to make the playoffs and you can win in the playoffs with great pitching, if their pitching is really good, I think they have to stay with it and not deal until they are absolutely certain that they're not making the playoffs this year. And I think in a weak division like this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't think the Indians have a big enough package now to trade for a guy who's only gonna be there for a few months. That doesn't mean they don't need him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could put a package together, but it wouldn't make any sense if it took six guys to get him and he plays three months and leaves. I mean, that's the potential. So you can't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're the guardians. And my guess is, and I saw Otani yesterday in Baltimore, he had another home run. He's so unbelievably good that I think the angels are going to do everything they can to hang on to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And try to convince him to stay. Now the only way or the best way that's gonna happen is for them to stay in the playoff race and they have an outside chance to make the playoffs. If they can convince him, hey, we made the playoffs, we're gonna give you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] about, like, he doesn't necessarily like to hit at Dodger Stadium. Look at his numbers at Yankee Stadium. They're not particularly good. He's not going to go to a place where he doesn't feel 100%


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he were just a hitter, he would get close to $300 million a year. If he were just a hitter, he would get close to $300 million a year. Put them together, that's $600. That's guess, we're all guessing, but if you're a team that needs somebody to change the course of your franchise, who better than him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love coming to Cleveland, period. Not just because my son used to work there, but because I love that ballpark, I love being around Tito and his team, and there's no substitute for being at the ballpark. So, and I've been to Cleveland so many times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] were terrible at the time I covered the Rangers were and the Rangers beat him opening day and there w Cleveland on opening day the next day there were l there. It was one of the g ever seen. And by the way,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, mildly concerned because his stuff is too good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] at least on the level that he is now. I thought he was and I still do think he's a Cy Young contender going into this season. What I've always been so impressed by, at least according to the people I've talked to, is he'll come back from the off season and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly he's got a slider, or suddenly he's got a split, or suddenly he's got a different look to his change up, or whatever. So he invents stuff as he goes, and I'm just not sure...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that creativity is still there. Now I fully expect him to have a really good year. And let's face it fellas, he's gotta have a really good year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then everyone else has to fall in line as we talked about. You gotta get some people healthy in that rotation. Otherwise, the Guardians are in trouble. Bieber has to be great if they're gonna make the playoffs. And I think he will be. He just had a little bit of a hiccup his last time out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, Jerry Reinsdorf, their owner, is so wildly competitive. He lost a game yesterday, I was told, by someone who was there, and he was furious that they lost to the Guardians yesterday because they had built a tiny bit of momentum and then didn't follow it up. I don't see Jerry Reinsdorf


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you guys gotta remember as a beat guy for 10 years, I covered the 88 Orioles who lost their first 21 games to start the season. No team had lost more than 14 in a row to start. They, they went to 21. So after 18 in a row, Frank Robinson, great Indian, great Indian manager,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He took the writers out to dinner. I just think he needed to change the subject. So during dinner at 0 and 18, I say to Frank, I said, Frank, has anyone interesting called you during this losing streak? And he said, yeah, the president called me today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Frank was a big kidder, so I pushed him three times on it. I said, did the president call you? He said, damn it, the president of the United States called me today. I said, Frank, what did he say? He said, Frank, I know what you're going through. And Frank said, Mr. President, you got no idea what I'm going through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the A's are gonna lose more than that, but I'm not going to 40 and 120. That's a little bit too much, but to be serious for a second, this is not healthy when any team is this bad. All right. As you guys know, one of the great beauties of baseball is that bad teams beat good teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's the best division in baseball by far. There's a bad team in every division in baseball except the AL East and it is filled with, with plus 500 teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if the Red Sox were in the Central, of course, in the American League, they'd be in first place. I think they'd be the best team in the National League Central right now also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said the beginning of the year, not like that matters what I say at the beginning of the year, but I thought three teams from the AL East would make the playoffs like last year and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's possible. Unlikely, but possible. Four teams can make the playoffs out of the American League East this year. Again, I saw the Orioles yesterday. They are loaded with talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Blue Jays are loaded. The Yankees are 12 and 11 and 5 in May. They finally started to put it together and the Rays are off to a historically


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think the Red Sox are gonna end up finishing last in that division. I think they're gonna win 83 or 84 games. And I think that's gonna be the best division of baseball all season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really amazing how well they draft, but also how well they develop. And pictures go there and suddenly...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay fellas, thanks, and I'll see you in Cleveland on July the 4th. I'm doing a Braves-Guardians game on the radio there, so I'll see you there if not before. Love it, thanks Tim, we appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the chat if we want it there, because normally when I do interviews I don't really, uh, keep the chat open because at some point inevitably they're gonna start saying something insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can be kind of distracting as soon as, like, cause people, they'll start saying RIP Lil Xan, and then all of a sudden you'll be like, wait, we're having a Lil Xan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you realize that they're just trolling you. There you go. Where's ICP? ICP interview's dropping later today. Don't- don't- Hold your horses, guys. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. How's it going? Okay, so guys, no jumper. Midday stream. I'm here with my boy Drake Bell. We're just hanging out. Uh, how you doing? Good, man. Catching up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh I think I did see part of it. Oh dude. Let's check out the full thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's quite a thumbnail you got right there. What kind of thumbnail?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if 6ix9ine can be this gangster rapper who then came out and dropped these Spanish sounding songs that did ridiculously well, did just as well as his other songs, in a weird way, that made me realize, like, if you have star power, and if people like you, Cardi is another good example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be able to make choices in that way or whatever but I think there's a lot to be said. Myself personally, I feel like I gravitate more towards music where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The artist feels comfortable to, to just experiment and do what they want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's a lot of incentive to, when you're part of a r- a major label, to not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I produced Rockstar for Post Malone, that's a big one, that's dope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want to, uh, check out one of the songs from your new project? So how's this release gonna work in terms of, uh, these songs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool, well, okay, let's check out, so, Smoke It Up? Yea, do Smoke It Up. The title track? Yea. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, I like that a lot. What kind of environment were you in when you recorded that? What kind of mind state?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wondered cause I was, we were outside earlier and I was taking pictures with some fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were all hyped or whatever, and then you walk out, and they're all, OH MY GOD! You know, cause sometimes I wonder,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Drake and Josh seems like a long time ago. Sometimes I wonder to what extent like the younger fans know what's going on. But as soon as you walked outside and they just lit up, I was like, yeah, it's wild. I mean, that makes me high just to, just to know, like, cause sometimes I wonder, like I've only been popping for a couple of years, right? You pop for a long ass time, seeing how excited they were. I was like, okay, nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you, uh, are working on your music these days, like, give me, give me the kind of stuff that inspires you. Are you just in the studio as often as possible and just working on whatever ideas pop in your head?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you already have that connection to your fans and then you put out a song and it sounds different, but it sounds good. It's like what's going to hold them back from wanting to support you because we are kind of in that social media star generation. I feel like if you put out Gummo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I think we've seen that, you know, on a personal level, I feel like the media tried to like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really clown Tyga for a few years. They tried to really like make fun of him and stuff, but his revenge this year was just making really fucking good music. Like, hey, here's some undeniable hits. You guys been clowning me for the past year? Suck my dick. I'm Tyga, it doesn't matter. Screw you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I see some like young YouTuber, you know, when I first found out about, I found out about JoJo Siwa a couple months ago, and I watched it and I was just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to watch a bunch more because I'm like just trying to wrap my head around it because it's just so different than anything. But you know what was actually crazy is I watched some of her videos that are like aimed at her fans and was just like, this is insane. And then I watched her actually do a video driving around with Josh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, yo, this girl's smart. She's like a fucking smart ass business woman. She might be kind of playing a character on camera and stuff, but that's the perspective that I like to come into art from is if it doesn't make sense to me, I want to just try to wrap my head around it. I want to know why people like this thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My podcast, we sit a lot closer together than Joe Rogan's. And I wonder how much that affects people mentally. I realize this is completely out of left field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause I wonder like to what extent our conversation would be different if you were like eight feet away from me. Well, it'd be harder to pass the blood. That's a good point. I feel like they find a way. Do they use Jamie as an intermediary?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, he always delivers it, Jamie always delivers it, I know that. I mean, they got the ill set up where they have the TV screen and the guy can just pull up whatever he wants at any time for him, that's nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean he could have inhaled like 10% of it, but it felt like 90% of it went in his mouth and then left his mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean Elon Musk is a case study in how to be a celebrity at this point. I mean he's also seen the limits. I'm glad that you're not the owner of a Tesla. No, I don't have a Tesla.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he joked around about the share price. That's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's cause, you know, he's living his whole life. He's living the kind of straight lace sort of life. He's this business guy. And then all of a sudden he starts hanging out with this little indie rock princess Grimes. And then she's, she's got this wacky sense of humor. She's, she's ironic. She's a reverent. He's like, Oh, I too can make a joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you can't joke around about the share price of what you're gonna go private at. Yeah, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, that just, that was probably one of the most bizarre stories. And if Trump wasn't president, maybe that would have got some more burn, but everything's just going crazy in general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that's kind of the crazy thing is that as a celebrity, people expect that, like people on Twitter and stuff expect you to be as interested in the intricacies of other celebrities as they are, as the people who are watching you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, because nowadays it's like you can get taken down for not just what you have done, but even who you associate with, cause I noticed there was a Pitchfork article about the fact that Meek Mill is friends with the owner of the Patriots, because the owner of the Patriots supports Trump and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Meek Mill's not even allowed to be friends with a seven year old white guy because he's friends with another seven year old white guy who's a dickhead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as you can see here, my last order from Postmates was from OiAsianFusion. I just want to point that out. That was pretty solid. So which songs should we play next?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, that was hard, man. There's no denying it. Damn, that was badass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is the other one. Okay, we got MIA and we got coming back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little mama? Oh yeah, I forgot about that connection. Yes. This one is just like super chill. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I think about a G-Eazy, I picture him as being invincible to the kind of hangovers that I'm used to getting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure that's not really the case. I just imagine that other people are better at fighting through it than me because I'm 35.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And especially because it's like a lot of the dudes who work in the store or whatever, they're 20, 21, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're basically invincible compared to me in terms of ability to recover from a hangover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who wants to be super productive? Which I would say we're both probably in that category where it's like we have shit that we want to get done everyday. And if you're spending many hours at night getting fucked up and then many hours being hungover in the morning,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's tough though too because then inevitably sometimes when you've gotten up at four or five to start working or whatever, then you end up being in a situation like in the studio or something where all of a sudden you want to be up till four in the morning and it's just tough till it be like stay on a schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm about to ask you the worst question ever. How do you feel about the Gucci boycott? Warning, there is no safe answer on this. Nah, you can find a safe answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. He's turning it into a pivotal moment for the brand it feels like. That's a good point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, to a certain extent, I mean, it is just like an elephant in the room that Gucci doesn't seem to really try to foster relationships with a lot of the biggest advocates for their brand and if, if this can


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be anything, I mean, it would be nice to think that that could be some sort of, uh, end result. I mean, and it was like the public outcry about the Dapper Dan situation a couple years ago that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has him even in the position to have this kind of say within the brand. So you are kind of seeing the benefits of this public dialogue happening with Gucci that there is progress being made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] BOOM! Just in your face. Just check me out. I'm Drake Bell. I'm drippin'. I don't give a fuck. What, what, what is the mentality?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey man. Respect. I've just always been a fan of fashion. Respect for the drip. It's a hell of a thing. I don't know, I feel like the older I get the more I don't have it in me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see that, uh, Shane Dawson documentary you did about, uh, Jeffree Star?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, it was great content. Jeffrey Star has the most absurd amount of handbags, Gucci stuff in general. He's got a collection dude. Outrageous. There's a point where he walks into this room and it's just wall to wall handbags and he's just pointing at one of them. He's like, that was a quarter million dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even for Drake, that's a little bit audacious. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I mean, it's gonna be a good couple of months that you're the flyest motherfucker in the entire world, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess. I don't know, but Drake is like barely even seen in public, so it's like who the hell is even seeing this phone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, you're never like, what is he doing like that, he's even being seen. That's the funny thing to me, is that like, one night I'm sitting in the studio with Juice WRLD, and him and like four of his friends are sitting there, and they all got, you know, eight hundred to a thousand dollar shoes on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're just in the studio. Nobody's, there's nobody to witness it. It's just me. It's like, I'm just, there's a lot of, and these shoes are not comfortable. I'm gonna be honest with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an order of magnitude when you consider that almost everyone has a phone case that costs less than $100.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $400,000 is a good amount of money for like a home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Easy. What's been your most audacious? What's your $400,000 phone case?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could probably get someone to just give him that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like if he's just, if he says this phone case was made by so-and-so, he tags him once. Boom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. I mean, if, yeah, that, cause that easily, somebody would pay him $400,000 to even just put something on his story or something, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause he, the first time I ever got to talk to him, that was one of the questions I was most excited to ask him was just, what is it like working with Gucci?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just seeing that, that studio just made me like, damn, why did I not become an artist? That would have been a nice, like, I'm sure I don't have the talent or anything, but you know, if you, like, that would just be such a sick feeling to just have this huge room of just all this art and you're just cranking out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but that was his thing for a long time and then that's how he got into doing design and then he started doing his own thing and eventually his shit got so weird that all of a sudden the snowboard community like didn't really get it I guess and then he just ended up branching out into his own world and stuff and it's like I guess I've talked to people who told me that he was like their favorite


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snowboarder, like he was the sickest snowboarder of that era. Like he was very significant, but it was kind of like before the internet was documenting snowboarding and stuff. So it was like, you know, not really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not really like a record of it so much, I guess, unless you have like the magazines or something, maybe. Uhm, you wanna hear, wanna play this M.I.A. song? Yeah, sure. This is the one we didn't play, right? Yeah. Okay. This one's still kind of a work in progress. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel a little weathered. So, uh, shit. Anything else we should talk about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 48 minutes. 2900 people watching. Dope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a platform. What should we talk about? Guys, chemtrails are real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] JK! Yeaah, that was just a big, big joke. I'm actually very much against that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did see that, uh, Alex Jones is trying to destroy Joe Rogan, which is, that's a really- Wait, what? Yeah, that's a plot twist. They used to be best friends-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe Rogan was one of like Alex Jones' few defenders. Yeaah. But then I guess Alex Jones felt as if he misrepresented him, so now he's just on the warpath trying to take Joe out, but it's nobody, Alex Jones barely has a platform anymore, and Joe Rogan is like a beloved cult hero. Yeaah, Joe's great. Yeaah. His show's great. You gotta go on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, I would love to go on Joe Rogan. That would be tight. That'd be rad. We'll speak it into existence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I mean, shit, he's probably too old to have been a Drake and Josh fan, that's for sure. He's like 50.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm thinking about it though. I wanna do it. I wanna get down in that game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I wanna have a spiritual journey, uh, at some point in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, I'm down. Like, I just feel like I haven't done any kind of like psychedelics in a long time, and I'm down to try- Something like DMT, it only takes like five minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That sounds intense. DMT is supposedly really cool because it only lasts like five minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta get on that. Maybe if I do that, then the Joe Rogan invite will take place afterwards. Yeah, there you go. No, but I did. I got three million views by making a video called, I vlogged my acid trip and I just did acid, went out in the woods with my friends and we vlogged it and I had a lot of weird revelations. At one point I said, uh, Jurassic Park was a vlog about dinosaurs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's been like the most quoted thing that people always repeat from that day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe three years ago? Yeah, it feels like a lifetime ago. I can't believe it. I can't imagine doing that right now. That was very loose. That was a very spur of the moment decision too. Some guy gave me the asset in the bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's what I wanna do one day, is I wanna just do a podcast with my friends, but I wanna all take.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mushrooms, ass, something, like just do something crazy beforehand and then get on and do a podcast and have everybody, and not specifically say it, but have everybody at home probably be able to tell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, okay, but imagine four people doing a podcast together, everybody takes ecstasy at the beginning of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Now they try to scare people by saying that, uh, that people are gonna be giving away weed candy on Halloween.
