[Assistant] And I felt it, and I felt like we were all kinda dropping down there to have a fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And something I've learned through hundreds of hours of meditation is that when we have an uncomfortable situation, uncomfortable sensation, we want to run from it. We don't want to feel it. We want to escape or we want to resist it. I don't want to feel like this. I feel so angry. I hate this feeling. We fight it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You stay cool. And this is what happened in this situation with these, they were dairy farmers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I went into this place, I just, I'm like, okay hang on, and I just felt what was going on, I just accepted it, there's agitation, it's okay. And I went to this Buddha place, man. Buddha as.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand where you're coming from. I used to feel just the same. I understand you're resistant to this conversation because it's questioning values that you've had for a long time. I fully understand that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But understand where we're coming from. That this is wrong, what is happening to them. Profit is not a good justification for enslaving, torturing and killing innocent beings. Etc, etc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that, I was chilling, talking to some people. He comes over with his wife. His wife was glaring at me at least as much as he was. He comes over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shook my hand. He goes, James, what about this? James, what about that? A few more questions. Fair enough. A long list of objections.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I answered his questions, he said, well you've just got an answer for everything, don't you buddy? I said, well there is an answer for everything, man. And he said, well maybe I'll call you later if I've got more questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone is doing something that you don't agree with, you know, if someone, if someone you love is purchasing animal products, you can say, I love you, I respect you, I will never respect your decision to pay people to harm animals for you, but I love you. You don't need to hate the whole person, it's just that action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, these two dairy farmers walked out of that talk that day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if a kind way resonates with you, okay, do what feels right for you. But I do believe that the best way is to come from a peaceful place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gündüzlerin tutulmayan sevinciyim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes I feel I'm scared to live. Living is what scares me. Dying is easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm an outlaw, and I go so far, and that's all you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shall anticipate time by informing you that I am not going to London. I'm much too ill. I think in fact I'm going to die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps a little more besides, that's the kind of book I should like to have written.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course one thing is as clear as daylight about the two books. You're both in love with the same man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She never sees an inch beyond her aristocratic nose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you had the least idea what I was talking about, I doubt if you'd care to come and see me again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goodbye. Emily. Why don't you let Mr. Nichols read your book?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I did that, Colonel Smaller. I just thought it might make it easier for us to get along. Oh, would you mind helping me with my aquarium?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're here in Texas on maneuvers in a little town called What Took It. We came, we saw, we took it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I appreciate the honor of letting me into your mind. It is a most beautiful world, and you have a real talent for expressing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That woman is actually the lover, and not merely the one who is loved, as writers have tried to prove for thousands of years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is natural enough that you should take an interest in your sister's teachings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You mustn't take me so seriously, Miss Charlotte. She has not forgiven me for seeing more in her writing than she meant to be there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do not misunderstand me, Michelle, but my little laugh was a kind one. I was merely curious in view of your quiet background.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As to where you might have observed this mature and world of passions, which you write of so brilliantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But don't look so distressed, my dear. You're probably a great deal more attractive without one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're so very sweet, Callander. How could I do otherwise?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miss Charlotte, I have a great faith in your courage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shall not presume to advise you. I think you know what you must do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sending you away, Miss Charlotte. It only seems wiser that you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terrible thing. Hey, pardon sir. The car's ready for you now, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't know you celebrated Christmas. I thought you had no religion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, he's well, thank you. He's terribly tired and worried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The McWithers, the Horns, the Van Dusen's, the lunches, the committee meetings, and you, you there flattering them, cow-telling to them, begging them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an old Roman coin. Professor Watheridge sent it to you. Wasn't it sweet of him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh Henry, I'm so relieved. Isn't it wonderful you found someone to help?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, no, no it isn't that, but, well you see Matilda's off Christmas shopping and so I have to look after Debbie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, dear. Uh, we're going to have an early supper so we can get St. Timothy's on time. St. Timothy's? Mm-hmm. For the choir rehearsal, for the benefit. Oh, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you've been looking awfully tired lately. I hope you're going to take it easier now that Dudley's here with you. I think that he's very able.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you should have seen him with Professor Wethrich. He knows more about history than the professor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it isn't the same, Henry. You're his bishop. I don't like going alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been a long time since Henry's been down here. I wish he had come. You know, when he was here, he was so close to people, so loved by everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bishop will try to get here later, Mr. Miller. Something important came up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you've all grown up so since the bishop and I lived in this parish that I, I hardly recognized any of you. But I'm so proud of you. And I know he's going to be too. Oh, thank you. Mr. Miller, that was wonderful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Somehow it seems wrong to have so much fun, but I can't figure out what's wrong about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sylvester, this is my husband, Bishop Brown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but I must confess I was not quite prepared for, for this ordeal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was a farmer, had a daughter and her name was Clementine. Light she was and like a fairy and her shoes were number nine. Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hit her foot against a splinter, fell into the foaming brine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are lost and gone forever. Dreadful sorry Clementine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish my little boy had lived so he could have seen America. I used to read to him about it every night when the shades were drawn and the sound of heavy boots marching down the street made my poor little Janka shake until I thought his bones would crack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That God would let us go to the fairyland across the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If only he could have been with me the day I went all by myself to the Statue of Liberty. And read what it says there for the whole world to see. Do you know it? It's unhealthy. Did you ever read it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've helped light that lamp for me, Anne Hilton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a beautiful skater, Julian. In fact, you're beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And your husband on the show is Oliver Hudson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really am trying to think of one. I'm having a hard time right now. Who hates contact?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But are we talking about, like, tough, like, they just go down, like, they get injured all the time? And, or are we talking tough, like, scared of getting hit so they slide right away?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree it would be interesting but it's almost impossible to quantify that. I'd like to see the methodology. What is it based upon?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and toughness, are we doing, are we at, like, are we talking to them and asking, like, what would you do if you were walking down a dark alley? Like, how do you quantify how tough someone is? That's fair. But then the other, and the other thing is, I know why we have to talk about this, and I get it, people like to hear about this stuff. This is what, you know, it's about Watson that's popular right now, it's about the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't even mind this this much, but this one really depressed me to think about just based upon-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like, what? We're not gonna see him. We're not gonna see him until...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a single vote. And so we're talking about, this is so depressing. We're talking about this dude. This failed, like this flawed dude. It's uncomfortable to talk about him to begin with. We're like, yeah, but he's gonna be, might be pretty good according to this study.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Others receiving votes. The other one I'd like to look at, the other reason that I would like to see this thing that was given to us to look at and I did not look at beforehand. I am so sorry, Mike. I was up so late. But listen, the other thing I'd like to see is, did like one quarterback, somebody who's like on the fence, just sneak into like one category. That would random.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, mechanics. Okay, well at least see that makes it somewhat a little more legitimate. Yeah, there you go. No, but that, so I wanted to see like if anybody else just got into one category or if it's just like, I'm on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think, let's take injury off the table for this, can we agree? Just for this, for the sake of this. What are we agreeing on? Taking injury off the table. Pretending they play a full season. They both play 17 games. I think you're right, I think it's Baker, because I think he's, I think he's probably mentally damaged just in a little better way, in a different way, like in like a spiteful way that's gonna move him forward. He's Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Congressman, I understand you probably got an opinion on paying college athletes. Pretty wrapped up in all of that throughout your lifetime. What do you think of NIL and how do you think the NCAA handled it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Congressman, as you said, you'll be leaving Congress in January. Have you considered getting back into coaching at all? And even if not, if or if so, what kind of lessons did you take from your time in Congress that you think would help you out if you were coaching?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, thanks guys. Hey Congressman, Congressman, thank you very much for uh, thank you very much for representing Ohio very well and just so you know, we're very proud of you and thank you for your time in Congress. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I'm such like a nerd in both worlds that I want to see the breakdown of both lineups and I want to see who was playing where. I want to know, I want all those details.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a great program that I was unaware of, and I think that's really cool, and it's just, uh, it always baffles me, the Browns, like, marketing stuff, because they do some things so well. Like, that's such a great program. And then they also come up with a slogan, like, play like a Brown. You remember that slogan?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Didi, there was a question that I wanted to ask you on Tuesday that we didn't have time for and I was wondering about. When you were on the sidelines, you probably, I imagine you have to be able to get a vibe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For what is going on with the players and how they're feeling and what not. I mean, with all the Deshawn situation going on, the uncertainty of quarterback, there's just a kind of a weird pall on the team. I want to know if that's coming through on the sidelines and if people, if they seem friendly or they seem chipper, they seem upbeat or is there, is there sort of like some uncertainty?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's really something. You know, the quarterback is the leader of the team. Do you see them rallying behind Jacoby Percet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Definitely. You also remember our best receivers of Brown's history list too. It doesn't always mean something just because he's the best one at that position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And mathematically, that also means that he thinks that Myles Garrett is a better football player than Emmett Smith as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have another enormous Browns preseason game coming up and we're going to get to see Jacobi Brissette for the first time. Any predictions as far as what we might see from him and what are you going to be looking for out of him in particular?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm taking notes. I'm taking notes, Dee Dee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that you're doing that. It does make me mad though, because right when you started doing that, I wanted to pitch a segment for the show where people could email in and then it was called Bad Job out of you. So if somebody did something that made them mad, you would just obviously just be like, Hey you, Bad Job!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't actually even tell your parents to subscribe. Just take their devices from them and their password is your birthday. Yes. Don't look at the photos. Don't look at the photos. They probably don't even have a password. They're too trusting. Open it and then just go to YouTube and hit subscribe on every device. They don't know how to do it anyway. They don't know how to do that. So just go and do it for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't have much more explanation than that's already been said. I mean, he's just, he's the most, he's the most, uh, consistently dynamic person on the team. And, uh, I don't think it's really an argument.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, Steve. That'll be a great start. That's a great start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is the record? Well, I saw somebody was passing around a, how their record last month or six weeks ago compared to today and just how the movement that's happened just in that division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that we've already kind of been down this road, but do you guys believe in the hot at the right time or getting too hot too early kind of vibe? Do you think it really can work like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And asking Mackenzie to do it when this is his first year coming out and he's a kid. That's the pressure that comes with that. I mean like the first time he's really... I'm not asking Bieber to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's great. Danny, I'm glad you're coming back. It'll be, it's great news for Cleveland. Did they tell you? I don't know how it works. Would you be doing any stuff with the Cleveland charge at all? We have the, that team. Is that kind of where you might get your bake wet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Danny, you left the game at a very, you left the game at a very young age. Uh, injuries obviously ravaged the career and what not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people will stay and keep playing until they absolutely can't anymore. Either it's because they do it for the money or they just don't know what else to be or don't, can't think of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Life outside of basketball. What do you think? And you could have kept playing. I know that. What do you think it was about your personality that's different than so many NBA players that we've seen who will just play until they absolutely have no other options?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, here's mine real quick. We have a music library. We're not allowed to use real music on here for copyright purposes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's very touchy about that legally, but we do have a music library that we're allowed to pull from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, just so you know, have been working on a project and, uh, I'm trying to get us some like music, cool music to play during breaks, funny music, stuff like that. Things for when people are thinking, you know, stuff like that, just to set a tone. Trying to always up the production quality, uh, that we have here, obviously, but we're, uh, we're killing it right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here's the problem, the library kinda stinks, and uh, I'm-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm having trouble finding songs, but I, in my journey I found a few songs that I really enjoyed because they have these knockoff songs, like say you want a song that sounds like Michael Jackson, but you can't use Michael Jackson. There are people, generic versions of Michael Jackson songs. Michael Johnson? Yea, stuff like that. And instead of called, uh, it's not beated, it's like, um, beat that, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In, uh, the library so far. And I'm gonna have these, I'm gonna have sounds for you coming up. These are not them, don't worry. But these are just some sound-alike songs that I found that made me laugh in our music, or legally to use music library. This is the, uhm, a Jimmy Buffett sound-alike song called Parrot Bay Bar. Go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, here we go. Yeah, let it jam. Hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They gotta make it sound just different enough. That's actually pretty close. That they can't get sued. Well, nothing. Uh, yeah, but you get the idea. That's Jan Hammer. Can't you see the point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, here's the last one, and this one's great. Uh, just, I just want to see how they did a disservice to him. This is, uh, when you type in, when you type in Tupac.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who put this here? Leave it there or I'll pin your ears back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somewhere there was a, another tree last year had six peaches, and this year has 53.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd think she'd appreciate having these flowers as decoration. But no. Again, she proves she's a woman at heart by showing a preference for weeds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if I had the money, I'd admit that whoever fired me was right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I decide that a man on my bankroll shouldn't be taking jobs, I should be making them. And if I got busy doing something about it...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You set for me, sir? Yes. Mr. Greener, Miss Moran, Mr. Blemish. Hello. Sit down, please. Your employment card lists you as John Jenkins. Is that correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You stated you've had five years experience as a sales clerk in New York. Is that correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be fair, Mr. Kirk, I must tell you, I have already received a report commending your work from the head of your department. Thank you, sir. But we also have a complaint from a committee representing our employees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you said sounds right, but it must be wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My distasteful duty in a difficult situation is to order you discharged with additional salary, which will compensate for the usual notice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a pack rat. I have a lot, a digital pack rat, not a physical pack rat. Uh, I have a lot of old emails that I never deleted and I actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I tweeted this and James asked, so the grocery store clerk, how is he doing? Well, it turns out he's, uh, my college roommate's ex-husband. Uh, he's a real dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and he now works as an insurance analyst. Uh, so it's a happy story with a happy ending. James, I found that for you. Uh, and it was really fun to, uh, have an excuse to reconnect. Uh, but these questions, I'm still thinking about them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which just leads us to more questions. What does it mean for belief to be justified? And what does it mean for something to be true?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you make a decision? I should, this thing that I was just told, uh, how do I decide whether to believe it or not? If I, if you're on a game show and I say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for everything you believe you have to have evidence all the way down the chain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, to, for why you believe that and then why for this, why you believe that and then why you believe that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this problem that, no, you can't research everything down to the base is, expresses one of the core problems of the internet today. Uh, this just isn't practical. So a second approach to justification is reliableism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We see the world through our senses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but everything else, you're making approximations and you make those approximations through what you perceive with your senses. Uhm, so uh, is that a chair?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love this compromise by Hilary Putnam of internal realism. Internal realism says, okay, smarty pants, uh, yes, all our perceptions are subjective, but we all agree there's a chair there. If it's totally subjective,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do all 135 people on this seminar all agree that there's a chair?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the answer is the chair exists. I can't prove to you that the chair exists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are perceiving something which is actually there. The world exists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the world exists but is understandable through subjective senses. Uh, subjective and fallible senses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the world exists but is only knowable through fallible senses. How do we agree on what's true? Uh, Latorre-Wolgar argued


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could say that Millikan and Fletcher claim that the charge on the electron is unitary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I love this theory of virtual epistemology. It's my new favorite thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Contianism is nice. Utilitarianism is nice. Virtue ethics is, is, uh, by far to me, uh, the most profound. Uh, so at virtue ethics...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love, uh, in the literature on virtue ethics, they write that, uh, a truly honest person


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is so honest that they're honest in all their dealings, they're honest in their thoughts, they are not amused by tales of dishonesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think, uh, maybe, uh, I need to work on this virtue if I'm still amused by tales of dishonesty. Can't win them all. In other ethical theories,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Virtue epistemologists say there are epistemic virtues, uh, that we can all strive to embody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So within a virtual epistemology framework, knowledge is a collaborative achievement. It's hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, John Greco has this great analogy to a soccer pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The process of achieving knowledge is collaborative between our midfielder and our striker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're all on experts of, they're all experts on every part of the content of the work. If there's any, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a, a particular page. And I picked for this example, John Roberts, uh, Wikipedia page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and says he's a potential nominee to the court. Uh, he says, uh, when he was born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, other sorts of things. Vandalism is typically repaired in seconds, and it's updated continuously if something notable and new happens to someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I, uh, during the presidential inauguration this year, I watched, uh, the page of, uh, uh, pages of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the page for the Massachusetts State House. Uh, it, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you'll see, uh, on the bottom of this page, it says that the murals under the dome were painted by artist Edward Brodny, uh, who had won a competition, uh, as part of a WPA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, there's no real citation for the fact that Norma Brodny is the model. It's there because I put it there. Norma was my grandmother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, when I edited this page a very long time ago, you could sometimes get away with putting something unsourced on Wikipedia. Please don't delete it, I've been good, don't hurt me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uses Wikipedia, uh, as a source and doesn't cite it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and there have been a number of research projects to create visible metrics of how reliable a page is. And some of them are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is their reputation as an editor? Is this person a reliable cognitive process?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so, uh, you know, I, I do think we could use more strongly visible metrics. There is a little bit of that in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, talk pages. Every page has a place where people can discuss the content, uh, and try and come to consensus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's all make the article about thresher sharks better this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and everyone who's part of WikiProject's Sharks will all, uh, prioritize working on Thresher Sharks for the week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they'll do things in wiki projects like rating the quality of pages. Okay. These are our A quality pages. These are B. These are C.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and then that can help direct volunteers' attention to places that need it more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, if you were to make an edit without getting consensus first on the top page, it would be immediately reverted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for example, to facilitate social construction of knowledge, we need opportunities for people to review content.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could I peck one of these epistemic virtues and say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna read everything that philosophers have said about it. Uh, let's say intellectual humility. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The uhm, uh, I was looking at this paper the other day on uh, vulnerability in social epistemic networks. Uh, the uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just as an example, so philosophy and HCI are different approaches to knowledge in a fundamental sense, and a lot of philosophy is true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's about design of online communities. Uh, and uh, I have chapters on the nature of community, on uh, the nature of collaboration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thinking about knowledge construction and how, uh, the social construction of knowledge changes how we think. Uh, a chapter on online identity, uh, one on bad behavior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, oddly, uh, partway through late in the writing of the book, I realized that I needed to add an additional chapter on business models. I think that how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of, uh, sometimes locking a page, sometimes restricting a page to people who have over 500 edits. I have 450 edits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had 450 edits for a really long time and a lot of pages, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of those mechanisms are important and I think studying them in detail is important and the ways that people use machine learning to help


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's such a wonderful model, and my assertion is that we can learn from that model, uh, things that are applicable to the design of different other systems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, you're swimming in it. Yeah, that's a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but, uh, now we're in Shreddinger's Catland. Is it alive or dead? If I can't tell if it's alive or dead without killing it, it's kind of a, uh, uh, uh, a little bit of a moot question. It's dead. Uh, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And asked, interviewed the people who posted them about those stories. And what we found was that the people fall into groups. Uh, one group literally stopped the interview and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't realize that was false. Hold on a second, I'm gonna take it down. Okay, now we can go back to talking. Uhm, another group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, fact checkers are, that story is true, the fact checker that said that it was false is, uh, incorrect, and you're deranged if you think that story is false. There were some people also in the middle who said, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's a lot to be said for Zonic, uh, that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, do a comparison between two Usenet groups, or later became Google groups, uh, alt.feminism and soc.feminism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then starting with those shared values, you could have a conversation on next steps. So you had kind of thoughtful discussions of, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, exactly, you know, kind of incels sort of stuff that you might worry about. Uhm, now, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would not be welcome on social non-feminism, right? So maybe we need a third space, uh, where that kind of conversation is welcome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we need different spaces with different ground rules and I believe we need more, uh, non-profit spaces. One of the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The right thing happened for either individuals or communities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whose fundamental goal is not to maximize shareholder value, but is to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and we need lots of small ones, so you can pick the one that suits you. I don't want to inflict my values on you, but there should be lots of choices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and, and now you're making a compelling argument for why scale is sometimes powerful, but there's no reason why we can't have both. That we need some big platforms and some little ones. Uhm, the, the thing that Wikipedia has in common with, uh, the vision I articulated is its non-profit nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, the one thing you get from uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and that, that, you know, so remember I started off with this model that the world exists but is only knowable through our subjective perceptions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what's our alternative here? We work as hard as we can to get our premises to be solid and to build on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The remedy for bad speech is counter speech and, uh, I don't want the government or


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and I discuss this in detail in the book, but, uh, I, I do think, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] rational people could disagree on these issues


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael, uh, I think that problem is critical. Really critical. Whose voice is getting amplified?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, the suggestion I made before that we have different spaces with different sets of values and assumptions, uh, I think can partially address that. Uh, the, uh, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and you're saying, go to the smaller space. You're saying, uh, you're gonna get a lot less attention, uh, for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then the question is whose responsibility is it to answer this problem, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how do you think about this trade-off between having fragmented sort of platforms where people can adopt different norms around epistemology and the idea that scale brings with us this ability for these things to happen at the rate that makes Wikipedia work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright guys, check us out at HobbyKidsTV on Instagram and let us know if you see anything in this clue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whatever you want. There you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] YOU STOLE PIZZA! Oh look, he went in the circle because he knows he's supposed to be in the circle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, you're back. Hey, wait a minute. Oh no. Oh, you have a good idea. That's a good idea! Use the backpack!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's getting so dark we've had to switch to night vision. Yeaah, it's also getting kind of cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't, I mean, I've heard some strange noises on the roof. I don't know if I mean, but that c- oh, hey, woah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, sounds good. I'll totally give it to you once. Yeah, sometime soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like freezing. Oh, uh, I wish I could help you out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder what the morning will bring. Hey, are you hungry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, it's 24 hours, right? It's been 24 hours. It's been, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Game Trickster! Yea, I'm talking to you. I know you can see me. I'm gonna let Game Master know you're hiding something from him. And if you don't give Hobby Mom back, I'm gonna destroy the second egg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mhm. I didn't know him. The Vox Daddy. I don't think it's Anthony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] London, October the 24th. Dear Colin, your letters are so few and far between. Where are you? How are you? Are you well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only last night Tom Benedict and I were talking about you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talked about the cocktail party you took me to in Chelsea before the war, just after his first book had had such a marvelous success. Remember? I expect a lot of celebrities will be here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what they think these days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will you call the professor? He's coming with us. Tell him I'll be delayed, but let him pick me up at my home about, uh, see about nine o'clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sylvia? Oh, some silly girl, nothing for you. Giggles all the time and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry I'm late. Anything wrong? No, my brother came home, unexpected. Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well friends, as you all know, we not only lost our truck, but also our radio equipment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hoffman has endured the living hell for the sake of the same things in which we all believe. So it seems to me we owe him something besides distrust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll try to talk to one of the clerks. He is an old friend of mine. I'll find out someday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought I asked you to stay home. Why do you persist in following her?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just talked to his mother. She told me the Gestapo took her murderer away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything wrong? Everything. Something to do with?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes you have to do the hard things in life as well as the easy things when time comes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You stay here. If anyone asks questions, you know what to say. If there's any trouble, blow the horn twice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only risk is of course that he might be followed. But he has to hold the hand to let that happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We didn't all get away. Joseph was killed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have the most dangerous kind of information. If the underground found out you knew about Sylvia, and they thought you would tell, they would kill you. Good. You've got to promise me never to see her again. Not even to think of her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the past from all over the world, people of all professions came to study with our masters. We were a spiritual light on a dark planet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will take him to the concentration camp. Someone told them he was talking against the government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Straight up, all over her head, like she'd stuck her finger in a light socket. Uhm, bossed? I asked. What? Sadie and I exchanged looks. She mouthed the word, scared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I remembered how Muffin's tail would always poof up when something startled her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing, I said, though if the set animal was so dangerous that it gave our goddess light socket hair, that had to be a very bad sign. How do we get out of here? You don't understand, Bost said. The set animal is the perfect hunter. If it has our scent, there's no stopping it. Why is it called the set animal? Sadie asked nervously. Doesn't it have a name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it did, Bast said, you would not want to speak it. It is merely known as the Surt Animal, the Red Lord's symbolic creature. It shares his strength, cunning, and his evil nature. Lovely, Sadie said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The animals sniffed at the monument and recoiled, snarling. It doesn't seem to like the obelisk, I noticed. No, Bost said. Too much moth energy. But that won't hold it back for long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As if on cue, the set animal leaped onto the side of the monument.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It began climbing like a lion scaling a tree, digging its claws into the stone. That's messed up, I said. Elevator or stairs? Both are too slow, Bost said. Back away from the window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She unsheathed her knives and sliced through the glass. She punched out the window setting off alarm bells. Freezing air blasted into the observation room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll need to fly. Bost yelled over the wind. It's the only way. No. Sadie's face went pale. Not the kite again. Sadie, it's okay, I said. She shook her head, terrified. I grabbed her hand. I'll stay with you. I'll make sure you turn back. The set animal is halfway up. Bost warned. We're running out of time. Sadie glanced at Bost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll jump, she said. Cats always land on their feet. It's over a hundred meters, Sadie cried. A hundred and seventy, Bast said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll be killed! Sadie's voice sounded close to breaking. Please, I can't lose you too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boss looked a little surprised, then she smiled and put her hand on Sadie's shoulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be fine, dear. Meet me at Reagan National Terminal A. Be ready to run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before I could argue, Bost jumped out the window. My heart just about stopped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She plummeted straight toward the pavement. I was sure she'd die, but as she fell, she spread her arms and legs and seemed to relax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She hurtled straight past the set animal, which let out a horrible scream like a wounded man on a battlefield, then turned and leaped after her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bost hit the ground with both feet and took off running. She must have been doing 60 miles an hour, easy. The set animal wasn't as agile. It crashed so hard, the pavement cracked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instantly, a black-winged kite appeared in front of me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flapping its wings to keep its balance in the intense wind. I willed myself to become a falcon. It was even easier than before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reagan National was so close I could see the planes landing across the Potomac. The hard part was remembering what I was doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time I saw a mouse or a squirrel, I instinctively veered toward it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A couple of times I caught myself about to dive and I had to fight the urge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once I looked over and realized I was a mile away from Sadie, who was off doing her own hunting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to force myself to fly next to her and get her attention. It takes willpower to stay human. The voice of Horace warned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The more time you spend as a bird of prey, the more you think like one. Now you tell me, I thought. I could help, he urged. Give me control. Not today, bird head. Finally, I steered Sadie toward the airport, and we started hunting for a place to change back to human form. We landed at the top of a parking garage. I willed myself to turn human. Nothing happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Panic started building in my throat. I closed my eyes and pictured my dad's face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought about how much I missed him, how much I needed to find him. When I opened my eyes, I was back to normal. Unfortunately, Sadie was still a kite. She flapped around me and cawed frantically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a wild look in her eyes and this time I understood how scared she was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bird form had been hard enough for her to break out of the first time. If the second time took even more energy, she could be in serious trouble. It's alright. I crouched down, careful to move slowly. Sadie, don't force it. You have to relax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember what's important to you. Close your eyes and think about your human life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She closed her eyes but almost instantly cried out in frustration and flapped her wings. Stop! I said. Don't fly away! She tilted her head and gurgled in a pleading way. I started talking to her the way I would to a scared animal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't really paying attention to the words, I was just trying to keep my tone calm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But after a minute, I realized I was telling her about my travels with Dad, and the memories that had helped me get out of bird form.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told her how we'd gotten separated once in the London underground, and how scared I was until Dad finally found me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told her some pretty embarrassing stories that I'd never shared with anyone, because who could I share them with? And it seemed to me that Sadie listened. At least, she stopped flapping her wings. Her breathing slowed, she became very still, and her eyes didn't look so panicked. Okay, Sadie, I said at last. I've got an idea. Here's what we're going to do. I took Dad's magic box out of its leather bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wrapped the bag around my forearm and tied it with the straps as best I could. Hop on! Sadie flew up and perched at my wrist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even with my makeshift arm guard, her sharp talons dug into my skin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll get you out of this, I said. Keep trying, relax, and focus on your


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, honestly, you know me well enough by now. That's not like me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this was the boy I'd seen in my Hall of Ages vision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The very handsome boy with the black robes and tousled hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His dark brown eyes had the most unnerving effect on me, and I was very glad I'd changed out of my glowing chicken outfit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried again and managed three entire words. What are you doing here? He said, gallantly finishing my sentence. Spirit travel and death are very similar. Not sure what that means. I said, should I be worried? He tilted his head as if considering the question. Not this trip. She only wants to talk to you. Go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He waved his hand and a doorway opened in the darkness. I was pulled towards it. See you again? I asked, but the boy was gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clouds drifted below my feet. The air should have been freezing cold and too thin to breathe, but I felt warm and comfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Black leather sofas made a U round a glass coffee table on a blood red rug. A fire burned in a slate fireplace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bookshelves and paintings hovered in the air where the walls should have been. A black granite bar stood in the corner, and in the shadows behind it, a woman was making tea. Hello, my child, she said. She stepped into the light, and I gasped. She wore an Egyptian kilt from the waist down. From the waist up, she wore only a bikini top. And her skin, her skin was dark blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Covered with stars. I don't mean painted stars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gleaming constellations, galaxies too bright to look at, glowing nebulae of pink and blue dust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her features seemed to disappear into the stars that shifted across her face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her hair was long and as black as midnight. You're the nut, I said. Then I realized maybe that had come out wrong. I mean, the sky goddess. The goddess smiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her bright white teeth were like a new galaxy bursting into existence. Nut is fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And believe me, I've heard all the jokes about my name. She poured a second cup from her teapot. Let's sit and talk. Care for some salab? Uhm, it's not tea? No, an Egyptian drink. You've heard of hot chocolate? This is rather like hot vanilla.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would have preferred tea as I hadn't had a proper cup in ages, but I suppose one didn't turn down a goddess. Um, yeah, thanks. We sat together on the sofa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To my surprise, my glowing, spirity hands had no trouble holding a teacup, and I could drink quite easily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The salab was sweet and tasty with just a hint of cinnamon and coconut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It warmed me up nicely and filled the air with the smell of vanilla. For the first time in days, I felt safe. Then I remembered I was only here in spirit. Nut set down her cup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose you're wondering why I've brought you here. Where exactly is here? And uhm, who's your doorman?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hoped she'd drop some information about the boy in black, but she only smiled. I must keep my secrets dear. I can't have the house of life trying to find me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's just say I've built this home with a nice city view. Is that? I gestured to her starry blue skin. Uhm, are you inside a human host? No dear, the sky itself is my body. This is merely a manifestation. But I thought gods need a physical host outside the duet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's somewhat easier for me being a spirit of the air. I was one of the few gods who was never imprisoned because the house of life could never catch me. I'm used to being free form. Suddenly Nut and the entire apartment flickered. I felt like I would drop through the floor. Then the sofa became stable again. Please don't do that again, I begged. My apologies, Nut said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The point is, each god is different, but all my brethren are free now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All finding places in this modern world of yours, they won't be imprisoned again. The magicians won't like that. No, not agreed. That's the first reason you are here. A battle between the gods and the house of life would serve only chaos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You must make the magicians understand this. They won't listen to me. They think I'm a godling. You are a godling dear. She touched my hair gently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I felt Isis stirring within me, struggling to speak using my voice. I'm Sadie Kane, I said. I didn't ask for Isis to hitch a ride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The magician said that gods caused the fall of the empire. That is a long and pointless debate, Nut said, and I could hear an edge of anger in her voice. All empires fall, but the idea of Egypt is eternal. The triumph of civilization


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The forces of Mutt overcoming the forces of Chaos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That battle is fought generation after generation. Now, it's your turn. I know, I know, I said, we have to defeat Set. But is it that simple, Sadie? Set is my son too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the old days, he was Ra's strongest lieutenant. He protected the Sun God's boat from the serpent Apophis. Now there was evil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apophis was the embodiment of chaos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He hated creation from the moment the first mountain appeared out of the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He hated the gods, mortals, and everything they built, and yet Set fought against him. Set was one of us. Then he turned evil, nut-trugged. Set has always been Set, for better or worse, but he is still part of our family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is difficult to lose any member of your family, is it not? My throat tightened. That's hardly fair. Don't speak to me of fairness, not said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For five thousand years, I have been kept apart from-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just wondering because I think your work is really special because you interact with both like the legal and like policy making side of people and also the academia people. What would be some like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is like some key difference or did you find any key difference in, uhm, communicating your work and, uh, was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, people who are on the policymaker side, uh, rather than people in academia, and yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see. Thank you for your answer. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it comes out of Dragon Ball games, I feel like we are in like the perfect time to be a fan of the game. It's because as you mentioned, we have Kakarot, which is kind of more like the more laid back, nostalgic game for the RPG fans, that allows you to kind of pick up the game, fly around, live in the Dragon Ball universe, live through the story, and you don't necessarily have to try too hard to play the game. It's very easy to pick up and just basically hop in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got Fighters, which is the complete opposite side of Spectre, which is a fighting game, you have to learn, you have to get really competitive with it, you have to improve to play, and really kind of use a lot of brain power to get into the game. And then you got Xenoverse, which is like, perfectly in between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love where we are right now with the Drama games, but we can always get something new that's a little bit better. That's why I enjoy stuff like Fusions, as well as even Card Warrior, which is part of Drama as a Kakarot, where it's a little bit different. You know, it makes you kind of play the Drama games in a different realm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as far as like, where else we can go and like the game that you described, I think it would work. The only question I have is like to me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My most important thing as a fan is what is the gameplay that we're getting. You know, for me, like I love the 2D style aspect of like fighters where it's an actual fighting game, or I guess 2.5D if you want to call it. And I love the 3D arena fighter that is Xenoverse because again, I feel like Xenoverse allows you to like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uh, play the game in like a 3D arena where there's somewhat depth to it, as well as it's not too hard to play. You don't have to like get too crazy with it. But I also like, uh, I also like when a game does something completely different. So like in your case, you know, with the game that you described,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will the gameplay be more like abstract, like Fusions, or are we talking about something more in a realm of like a 3D arena fighter like Xenoverse? Or are we talking about RPGs? The reason why this is important is because, uh, the number one important factor is to drive off, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I love Fusions. I could have played Fusions for weeks on weeks when it first came out. But now, like looking back at it, I feel like I can't really go back and replay those games. Same thing with Kakarot. Kakarot is like probably my top 10 favorite Dragon Ball games of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To this day, I still play. Xenoverse is getting like, what, to a point where it's almost 5-6 years old and I'm still playing today. Fighters obviously is about to wrap up its third year and potentially enter its fourth year. I'm still gonna play that, cause again, those games give me exactly what I'm looking for in those realms. But something else to point out is, I feel like when it comes down to being a bit different and offering


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fans a different like realm of how to explore Dragon Ball realm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is limitations, you know. I feel like when it comes down to it, it's more on the brand awareness side. The reason why Xenoverse was so limited to what you can and can't do, even with the time travel aspect introduced, is because they were restricted by, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Head honchos, uh, higher above, where they have to like, you know, kinda keep the series, uh, true to its roots, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The outcome is always the same in the end, you know, they, they still kinda kept it as is and I guess the whole point was to preserve history. Like I feel like Shueisha when it comes out to all their franchises is all about preserving that same history. So the other, the other question is, is how much freedom can we see in the future to the point where we can get something like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, honestly. I mean, Dragon Ball Heroes came out at some point, but even Dragon Ball Heroes is not necessarily Dragon Ball anymore, as weird as that sounds. Like, Dragon Ball Heroes started as this one thing, this big what-if story, that completely sprouted into its own thing. And I feel like they don't even consider Dragon Ball Heroes as an actual thing. As an actual, like, part of the Dragon Ball IP in Japan. It's kinda weird to explain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess the question comes down to like, again, uh, how, uh, much freedom do they have to make these different kind of games? And two, what is replayability? And I guess that's what's the more important thing to people. Cause I feel like, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it comes down to playing stuff like Xenos and Fighters, you can play it at any point, but how often can you play a game like Fusions years down the line, or even a game like Kakkar years down the line? I guess that's a question that gets turned over to the people that watch this video, like what do you think? I guess let us know down below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His ranker comes from, you play a very, very defensive or campy playstyle that I'm not really a big fan of. That's not how I like to play the game or how I like to see the game being played.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't go to too many events nowadays, uh, he's still just such a strong player, period. People shouldn't be surprised with how he performs.

[Assistant] Mango has this grasp that can't be taught.

[Assistant] It's not something that comes with time. It's something you have to be born with.

[Assistant] The World Buddy Masters ended two days ago. It's bad enough that Mikado became world number one. But now he, Konata, and Gaito are more popular than ever. It's so annoying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They couldn't find a way to get Gao back to his normal state. That can't be!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Gao takes over my body, I may just find some clues that will help us return him back to normal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You two should be trying to set a good example for the other students. I don't know what I should do with you.

[Assistant] As Student Council President, it's my job to keep order on this campus. Now their popularity will plummet for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are you talking like the mighty Sunfighter? Where's Mikado? Stop deflecting the real issue! I'm onto you! I see through the evil scheme you're plotting! Why, whatever do you mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't try and help them. Focus all your energies on my one in a thousand chance. Explain that one. If I win, it means I'll have defeated both Tasuku and Gao. That will make me the most popular student for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh! Bone labor sabraj to the center!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll defeat you and everyone will know who's truly the greatest Buddyfighter in this school. Draw! Charge and draw! I equip Death Hen Shriver!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Allows me to call one zero power death attribute monster from the drop zone.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as I don't fall below five life, he can't use his ex-Tempest Buster!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have six life points, which means that you can't use your savior, the ex-Tempest Buster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really sorry, Gal. I wasn't able to find any clues on how to return you to normal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this day got off to a very unpleasant start. My hair's too long, I need a haircut, that's a mess. And then the doctor says I gotta get this procedure done, where he puts something up to you know what. The front part, not the back part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought about that. I did think about it's like, oh should I mention that I'm going to a different massage therapist than I saw two months ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, that I could see and it was painful when it came out. Let me tell you something. And what was that? I had, uh, kidney stones. Oh, those are not fun. Okay, so what it was doing was it was, it was basically


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, I said to the doctor, the doctor as he's checking me out today was a new urologist that I went to today. Uh, shout out to Dr. Jankowski. Nice guy. Open for sponsorship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's a couple of things here. First of all, I will say, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, when we look at the comparisons between the players and owners, to me the best examples are Daniel Snyder and Jerry Jones and not the Texans because ultimately the Texans are being, were being sued because of something that Deshaun Watson allegedly did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I don't know that I'm going to blame the Texans. If Deshaun Watson did what he was accused of, well that's on him more than it is on the Texans because it's not like there's, that's how I see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but, but there certainly is a good argument for unequal, uh, unfair treatment when it comes to Daniel Snyder and when it comes to Jerry Jones in a big time way. So that's number one. Number two, and the most important thing I think for us as Brown's fans and people who want to see Deshaun Watson play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, and the reason I have said eight games all along and continue to say, and now, first I thought it was going to be eight games, now I think it's going to be eight games at the most. But,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The league does not want to be done with this. You talked about they settled with the CTE. You talked about they settled with Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This started as Deshaun Watson getting bad press, he's still getting some bad press, but now the league's getting a lot of bad press about how hypocrites they are, how the rich white guys get away with everything. Okay? And that's all true. They want this gone. And that's why I'm convinced, and again, if I'm wrong, I'll be proven wrong, okay, I'll admit it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm convinced that they want no, they have no interest in overstepping what Judge Robinson does. I think they're talking tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if Judge Robinson says no games or two games, they're gonna be like, we tried, we put it to her, she thought this was fair, I'm letting it go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely, she takes them off the hook no matter what they decide, what she decides, and I think they're just talking tough so they can say to the people that are angry at the end, we tried. I agree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will, and Mike to that point also, I think, maybe I'm crazy, but I think they're worried a little bit. They have to be worried a little bit about the possibility, as G says, about a class action lawsuit. Yeaah. That's mon- they don't- that could be a ton of money. So I think they're gonna be happy to just get at- get this done with, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The look is bigger than that. It is. But in terms of what they're actually adjudicating, it seems like it's only four cases, which is very similar to Ben Roeffelsberger. Right, and they have a history though of- And Ben Roeffelsberger, by the way, was accused of rape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this morning my headline of my podcast was, what, it was a no, it was and still is a no-brainer for the Browns to trade into Sean Watson. I talked a little bit about the argument we had on the air yesterday and that whole situation and a couple of responses were, you don't care that he raped people?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm like, you can't just start, like that's part of the problem. It is. There's no accusation of rape at all. And again, I think we, we all agree to some, at the very least, Deshaun Watson showed some bad judgement. We don't know exactly what he did, we know he showed some bad judgement here. But to start throwing out rape, that's a big difference from what he's being accused of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a smaller suspension, if it is, then what could happen if it goes the other way?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This idea that they're gonna lose a ton of fans because they're mad about Watson playing is absurd. I know. It's absurd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, very funny that you used the word sassy for me because last night I was having dinner with my wife. It was her birthday and I surprised her by bringing her two of her good friends to dinner including a shout out to state representative Monique Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the last couple of weeks, I feel like, and I'm sure you guys have had this experience too, I've run into so many fans who are loving the show and enjoying it, and they always bring up in particular the, the, the three former Browns we have regularly, Tim, Dequel, and Leroy, right? They bring the three of you guys up all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was having a con, I had like multiple conversations actually this week with people like, man, Tim Couch is awesome when he comes on with you guys. I can't believe, and a few people have said to me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, he deserved better and, and it's amazing that he still has this positive attitude about Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you busted your ass here, you got a raw freaking deal, and yet you have such a great attitude. It really, it really, the fans, it means a lot to people that I've noticed over the last few weeks of having you on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you think, it seems like he's been around a while, but he's only played 56, I think he started 56 NFL games, which is essentially what? Three and a half seasons. I mean, it's not as much as you think, right? When we've seen him on the field, he's mostly been great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we've seen him with, outside of the Andre Hopkins, his first, you know, two, the rookie season and then two full years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He hasn't really had much talent around him. Bad offensive line, no running game, bad defenses the last couple years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in fairness, he also has a lot to prove. He has one playoff win. He's got a lot to prove when it matters the most. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jay, before you hit this real quick, I think it's, I just want to say it's, so many times Joe Thomas has been asked about, like, can you name all the quarterbacks that you've,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I voted on Tim by players, coaches, executives, and scouts. I think there were like 50 guys I voted on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My thought was, I'd rather have, if you're asking elite specifically, I'd rather have an elite end, elite pass rusher than an elite tackle, and here's why. Because I think if I have a good solid left tackle,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, like, people have asked me, would you, uh, fans have asked me, would you rather have five good solid offensive linemen or three great guys and two subpar? I, I, wouldn't you rather have the five just good solid ones, right? Cause isn't the biggest problem if you, if you have guys that suck on that line and that, that really kills you. And so I, whereas at pass rusher,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd rather have Miles Garrett and then a barely startable other end than I'd rather have two mediocre pass rushers. I think for an elite, you can make more of a impact on the game as a pass rusher than a tackle. Maybe I'm nuts. What do you think about that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. He's great, but any team would take Jefferson and chase over him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see his tweet? Put Jamar Chase's, I like this, I like this. Jamar Chase's tweet. I love the reactions to these. They're always good. Give us, give us one sec.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fairness, like, obviously the list is stupid, but the fact that Burrow and Chase have a close relationship, they played together in college, that certainly helped both of them big time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, I mean that, Tim, from your perspective, like, if you had ta-, if one of your, your good buddies who played wide receiver with you in college had been on your team, like that would have, I mean that, that moves up the learning curve in a huge way, doesn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number three. New list is garbage. Doug Flutie and I'll go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have no argument, just take the L on this. That is the dumbest-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We blew that game, I'm sorry. We were up 11 runs, I'm sorry. Ameriprise with a big comeback. Speaking of. Statistically, that was better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimately, if it was, if Watson was accused of the same things that those guys were, or did the same things, a good chunk of our fans would still support, and it would be reversed. All fans are equally hypocritical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kareem Hunt was on camera punching a woman, kicking a woman, and he's back in the league and nobody talks about it anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The truth though in the end is we don't know that the tide is turning. We think that the tide is turning. It seems as if the wind direction has moved. It seems that way, I agree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they have really been laying low on that. And it's probably smart to just. Well, there's no point in them saying anything right now, frankly. What would they say at the moment?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's, here's the thing about Jose and it's why, part of the reason why I was like, I just wish he'd be done cause he wasn't even take, I shouldn't say he wasn't taking it seriously. He's a much better power hitter from the left side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to go down. I don't want to go down this road too far because obviously not that interesting a topic for that many people, but like if Julio Rodriguez were a football player or basketball player, everybody would know who he was. Like he's equivalent to that. He is having a magnificent year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a mistake though, but every football fan knows who Jamar chases. Yeah, they do. Honestly, I don't say... Well, he plays in Seattle. Mike just said he doesn't know who Leo Rodriguez is. I did not. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What percentage of Die Hard Guardians fans know who he is? Die Hards? Die Hards probably-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does anybody know, does anybody know the story about the Mariners the last couple of weeks? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, that, I think they're gonna, they have the longest postseason drought in all of baseball. The last time they went to the playoffs, playoffs, not, you know, winning a playoff, was 2001, was the last time they went to the playoff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, zero. But how about this? Sorry to go back to the Mariners for 15 seconds, but Julio Rodriguez finishing second in the home run derby will make more money for that than he will get paid for the entire season. Wow. You're right. They talked


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the going rate, so listen, you're worth what anybody's willing to pay you, but one base, as much as, one baseball player, no matter how good he is, I mean look at the angels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I thought they should have paid them at the time. Now obviously, right now, because I don't buy this idea that the Guardians can't afford to have a significantly higher payroll. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we don't know what they have. Take a look at what they're spending.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I can't tell you what the, I can't tell you what their structure is. I don't know. I never, when a billionaire tells me he doesn't have enough money to spend, uh, even a, even a multi-millionaire, I, I will never believe it. That's your prerogative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tampa Bay's done more with less. In my view. Tampa Bay's had a lower rate payroll than the Guardians every year for the last decade, except for one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember back in the day there was a Saturday Night Live sketch and it was a commercial called oops I crapped my pants. That was one of the funniest things ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as I mentioned earlier today, I went to the doctor's office, right? I'm not gonna, I already went into the details of what happened. Nobody needs to hear that again. No, let's rehash it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the thing that drives me crazy in the doctor's office. I get so agitated about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever you go to the doctor, right, the only place, and look, I was Mr. Mask Guy. When other people started taking off their masks, I was still wearing one, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the doc- doctor's office is the one place you still have to wear a mask. Which is fine, I'm like, this is not about a mask, I'm not complaining about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they take extra precautions in the doctor's office. You're wearing masks, you're doing all this, they got hand sanitizer every inch of the place. But I still have to touch the disgusting pen to fill out the stupid paperwork when I go in. I said to the doctor flat out, you don't read this paperwork. Don't pretend you read the paperwork you never do. Because I fill out the damn paperwork every time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, now it would be fake news! Yea, it would. Probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree with G, I know we're not supposed to discuss, I do agree with G that these things are all tired and played out. I'd rather see these guys play other sports like dodgeball or flag football or getting, somebody mentioned this the other day like chug a six pack and then hit home runs. That'd be more interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, you might be right, but I also think that maybe I'm a little more cynical. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't necessarily believe the NFL thinks that they have to abide by whatever she says. I think that you're right, she is a form of a buffer. And uh, but I think you hire lots of consultants all the time to come in and give advice. And then you take that advice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you take what you know, and then you make your own decision because that is your employee, really. You hired an outside consultant to come in and give you advice, and you didn't say, we promise that we're gonna do whatever you say we're gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, that he can, and so, it makes sense from a PR standpoint, and I hear what you guys are saying, but it wouldn't shock me. The NFL doesn't give a damn where they're just gonna, if they find the ruling to be favorable, I think that they'll be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna listen to her. If it's what they want, they'll be like, we're gonna listen to her because, you know, she's in charge and, but if they don't, they'll be like, we like, we like what you brought to the table. Thanks a lot. We're going to take that into consideration. We're going to do the same thing we want to do anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the money they make from having him in the league is worth the hit that they would take from the PR and they look at the math and say, we'll still make more money even though more people will be mad at us. They're going to go with that decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here's the loophole there, or not the loophole, here's the problem with that. All you gotta do, it's, it's, you gotta find another apples to apples situation to compare it to. That's, that's what they can get out from under. Find me another situation where a player


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grid, grid, grid! Gridiron guys! Will you ask the gridiron guys who made that helmet logo next time you talk to them? I'm just curious. I think it's well done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tim, I'm just looking real quick at your 2002 Browns roster. Let me ask you, which of these offensive linemen do you think protected you the best? Barry Stokes, Sean O'Hara, or Paul Zukoskis? Sean O'Hara was a great player with the Giants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Football, Brown's football of Ben Roethlisberger just sitting in that pocket for what felt like an hour and a half and just thinking, he's just got all time in the world for something to develop and just thinking if somebody could just get a hand on him. And I think that I'm traumatized in that same way and that's why I think that's important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tim, this is kind of cool. We actually were able to just, we were just talking about Madden. We actually just were able to track down an image from a Madden game that you were actually in in your career. Do we have that image? Let's see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's four and a half hours. You have to have drama, not just the setting for drama. Can there be drama when there's four and a half hours?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, we're going to be right on one of those. And so it's all going to end up even and out. And you guys, even though you know more, you're still going to be stuck with us back at two and one. You're right too. I'm going to love it. It's the way life works. All right. Yeah. So five, five game lead for bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who finds out 8 minutes sooner? Because it's not like, you guys, by the way, you guys are not, this isn't like Watergate, you guys aren't Woodward and Bernstein uncovering something that will not be discovered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if you do not find it yourself, the NFL's gonna tell us what the ruling is, but all, everyone's competing to be like, I got it four hours earlier than everybody complements each other and stuff like that about it. It's just a sad, sick thing to watch and let's just all relax and wait and see what happens. It's so much less stressful, everyone. People bring up, uh, I talked about smoke, smoke signals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were used, Native Americans, tribes used them to communicate with each other, but they can also be used to deceive other tribes. You would say, you know, oh, see the smoke, that means that we're about to attack. Well, what if we found out what your smoke signals are, this other, this other tribe over here, and now they're throwing that smoke in the air. See, what I'm saying is, you can't believe the smoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't believe that your tribe is actually up there signaling you and telling you everything's safe. Don't believe anything. Just wait for the smoke to clear and we'll all find out what happens.

[Assistant] She's stolen the life energy from hundreds, maybe even thousands of monsters.

[Assistant] Day after day I flew to the store. Grandpa would shake his head. Then on a Monday, as I entered the store, I sensed a change in him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was in high spirits, talking and laughing with half a dozen farmers. Every time I caught his eye, he would smile and wink at me. I thought the farmers would never leave, but finally this door was empty. Grandpa told me the letter had come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The kennels were still there, and they had dogs for sale. He said he had made the mail buggy wait while he made out the order. And another thing, the dog market had gone downhill. The price of dogs had dropped five dollars. He handed me a ten dollar bill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now there's still one stump in the way, he said. The mail buggy can't carry things like dogs, so they'll come as far as the depot at Taliquah. But you'll get the notice here, because I ordered them in your name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thanked my grandfather with all my heart, and asked him how long I'd have to wait for the notice. He said, I don't know, but shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked how I was going to get my dogs out from Tahlequah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there's always someone going in, he said, and you can ride in with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That evening the silence of our supper was interrupted when I asked my father this question, Papa, how far is it to Kentucky?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a half-hearted laugh, my father said, Well now, I don't know, but it's pretty good ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you want to know for? Thinking of taking a trip to Kentucky? No, I said, I just wondered. My youngest sister giggled and asked, Can I go with you? I glared at her. Mama broke into the conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I declare, what kind of a question is that? How far is it to Kentucky? I don't know what's gotten into that mind of yours lately. You go around like you were lost, and you're losing weight, you're as skinny as a rail, and look at that hair. Just last Sunday they had a haircutting over at Tom Rowland's place. But you couldn't go. You had to go prowling around the river in the woods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told Mama that I'd get a haircut next time they had a cuttin', and I'd just heard some fellas talkin' about Kentucky up at the store and wondered how far away it was. Much to my relief the conversation was ended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The days dragged by, a week passed, and still no word about my dogs. Terrible thoughts ran through my mind. Maybe my dogs were lost, the train had a wreck, someone stole my money, or perhaps the mailman lost my order. Then at the end of the second week, the notice came.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My grandfather told me that he had talked to Jim Hodges that day. He was going into town in about a week and I could ride in with him to pick up my dogs. Again I thank my grandfather. I started for home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Walking along in deep thought, I decided it was time to tell my father the whole story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fully intended to tell him that evening. I tried several times, but somehow I couldn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't scared of him, for he never whipped me. He was always kind and gentle. But for some reason, I don't know why. I just couldn't tell him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That night snuggled deep in the soft folds of a feather bed, I lay thinking. I had waited so long for my dogs, and I so desperately wanted to see them and hold them. I didn't want to wait a whole week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next I went to the smokehouse and cut off a piece of salt pork. I stopped at the barn and picked up a gunny sack. I put the flower sack inside the gunny sack. This I rolled up and crammed lengthwise in the bib of my overalls. I was on my way. I was going after my dogs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taliqua was a small country town with a population of about 800. By the road it was 32 miles away. But as the crow flies, it was only 20 miles. I went as the crow flies, straight through the hills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although I had never been to town in my life, I knew what direction to take. Talaqua and the railroad lay on the other side of the river from our place. I had the Frisco Railroad on my right and the Illinois River on my left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not far from where the railroad crossed the river lay the town of Tahlequah. I knew if I bore to the right I would find the railroad, and if I bore to the left I had the river to guide me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometime that night I crossed the river on a riffle somewhere in the dripping springs country. Coming out of the river bottoms I scattered up a long hog-back ridge and broke out on top in the flats. In a mile-eating trot I moved along. I had the wind of a deer, the muscles of a country boy, a heart full of dog love, and a strong determination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw faint gray streaks appear in the east. I knew daylight was close. My bare feet were getting sore from the flint rocks and the saw briars. I stopped beside a mountain stream, soaked my feet in the cool water, rested for a spell, and then started on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After leaving the mountain stream, my pace was much slower. The muscles of my legs were getting stiff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feeling pangs of hunger gnawing at my stomach, I decided I would stop and eat at the next stream I found.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I remembered I had forgotten to include a can in which to boil my eggs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the outskirts of town I hid my flower sack and provisions, keeping the gunny sack. I walked into town. I was scared of Taliqua and the people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two young ladies about my age stopped, stared at me, and then giggled.

[Assistant] My blood boiled, but I could understand. After all, I had three sisters. They couldn't help it, because they were woman folks. I went on. I saw a big man coming up the street.

[Assistant] The bright shiny star on his vest looked as big as a bucket. I saw the long black gun at his side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've frozen my tracks. I'd heard of sheriffs and marshals, but had never seen one.

[Assistant] Stories repeated about them in the mountains told how fast they were with a gun and how many men they had killed. The closer he came, the more frightened I got. I knew it was the end for me. I could just see him aiming his big black gun and shooting me between the eyes. It seemed like a miracle that he passed by, hardly glancing at me.

[Assistant] Breathing sigh, I walked on, seeing the wonders of the world.

[Assistant] Passing a large store window, I stopped and stared. There in the window was the most wonderful sight I had ever seen. Everything under the sun. Overalls, jackets, bolts of beautiful cloth, new harnesses, collars, bridles. And then my eyes did pop open. There were several guns.

[Assistant] I saw the full reflection of myself for the first time in my life.

[Assistant] I could see that I did look a little odd. My straw-colored hair was long and shaggy and was bushed out like a corn tassel that had been hit by a wind. I tried to smooth it down with my hands. This helped some, but not much. What it needed was a good combing, and I had no comb.

[Assistant] My overalls were patched and faded, but they were clean. My shirt had pulled out, I tucked it back in.

[Assistant] Well, I won't have to pick any more blackberries, and the scratches will soon go away.

[Assistant] I pumped up one of my arms and thought surely the muscle was gonna pop right through my thin blue shirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stuck out my tongue. It was as red as pokeberry juice, and anything that color was supposed to be healthy.

[Assistant] After making a few faces at myself I put my thumbs in my ears and was making mule ears when two old women came by. They stopped and stared at me. I stared back.

[Assistant] As I said before, they couldn't help it, they were winning, folks.

[Assistant] Biddy, Joe, and I felt better when all the guests had gone, and we had a quiet supper together. I decided to spend the night at the forge, which pleased Joe very much. I was pleased with myself for offering to do so. I waited until I found Biddy alone, then I said, I suppose you won't be able to stay here now, will you, Biddy? No, Mr. Pep, I'll stay in the village.

[Assistant] I'm going to be the village

[Assistant] I heard an explosion off to my right in the direction Sadie had run. I hoped she'd gotten away, but I couldn't be sure.

[Assistant] The Sphinx opened its mouth and formed smokey fangs that had no business on an ancient Egyptian king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was about to chomp my face when a dark form loomed up behind it and shouted, mange des mouffins, slice. The sphinx dissolved into smoke. I tried to rise, but couldn't. Sadie stumbled over. Carter, oh God, are you okay? I blinked at the other person, the one who had saved me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A tall thin figure in a black hooded raincoat. What had she yelled? Eat muffins? What kind of battle cry was that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She threw off her coat, and a woman in a leopard-skin acrobatic suit grinned down at me, showing off her fangs and her lamp-like yellow eyes. Miss me? asked Bost.

[Assistant] We huddled under the eaves of a big white government building and watched the rain pour down on the Place de la Concorde. It was a miserable day to be in Paris.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were no tourists. No foot traffic. Everyone with any sense was inside by a fire enjoying a hot drink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To our right, the River Seine wound sluggishly through the city.

[Assistant] Across the enormous plaza, the gardens of the twilleries were shrouded in a soupy haze.

[Assistant] The Egyptian obelisk rose up lonely and dark in the middle of the square. We waited for more enemies to pop out of it, but none came.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remembered what Zia had said about artifacts needing a 12 hour cooldown before they could be used again. I hoped she was right. Hold still, Bost told me. I winced as she pressed her hand against my chest. She whispered something in Egyptian and the pain slowly subsided. Broken rib, she announced.

[Assistant] Better now, but you should rest for at least a few minutes. What about the magicians? I wouldn't worry about them just yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The house will assume you teleported somewhere else. Why? Paris is the fourteenth gnome, Desjardins headquarters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the amulets will keep you veiled from the eyes of Set and from other magicians.
