[Assistant] The game of Valorant itself makes it easier to elo boost in comparison to its predecessor League of Legends. Riot's philosophy when it comes to league balance is to make it a more team-orientated game. While a challenger player certainly won't have any issues smashing his way through bronze elo, he's still working hard to 1v9 all of those games where his team is feeding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your teammates are useless in League of Legends, that results in the enemy team becoming stronger with items.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your team is useless in Valorant, you can still 1v5 just as easily just because you're better at aiming than everybody else. You don't have to depend on your team in Valorant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're just target dummies that can scout for you and occasionally get a few more kills. Not only does Valorant's gameplay favor boosters, there's even an agent in-game that is basically an elo booster's wet dream. This agent is basically designed for elo boosting, and this agent's name should be pretty obvious to anyone who's played her before. It's Reyna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What many boosting services offer is a service to be able to play agents that the buyer already plays in order to make sure that other people are not suspicious that this person has purchased an elo boost. So if you're a Jett main and you don't want people to think that you've been elo boosting, you'll ask the elo booster to play Jett on your account instead of anyone else so that they don't get suspicious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In League of Legends, this can be a lot more difficult, because if you're a top laner, it's really hard to start just picking up ADC mechanics. This potentially limits the amount of orders that you can do, and it can potentially make your grind a lot slower if you're not very good at AD carry. For Valorant, that doesn't really matter, because, again, the only thing that matters is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you aim? And if you're high elo, that answer is probably yes. When elo boosters have free reign to pick whoever they want, they almost always pick Reyna. Reyna gets heal resets off of her kills, and a high elo Reyna player can basically 1v5 an entire team with her ult up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other duelist that is very popular within the boosting community is Jett.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While Jett has a lot of great tools in her kit and is arguably one of the best agents in the entire game, the main reason that boosters love her so much is because she's the best sniper rifle agent. Because so many boosters reside in poorer income countries, their ping tends to be really high. Certain guns are just not as effective when you have high ping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you're a sniper player, doesn't really matter as much. You can play just as well on an Operator sniper rifle because the AWP just one-shots people. Who cares if you have 150 ping? All you really need to do is hit them once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of Jet's mobility, popularity, and her safety when using an operator,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She becomes the second most played agent when it comes to elo boosting. Recently, Riot has actually tried to combat boosters by adding something into the game called ping correction. Basically, if you're playing from very high ping, all of your shots on a regular gun will shoot as if you had normal ping. This results in you not hitting any of your shots whatsoever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jett, Reyna, and Operator all contribute massively to these elo boosters win rates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A high elo radiant player can have a 90% win rate all the way up to the top 0.1% of players. But the biggest factor, the absolute biggest factor that allows elo boosters to thrive so much more in Valorant than in any other game is the 3-man ranked queue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most elo boosters in League of Legends do Q in order to get up the ranks faster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For elo boosters in Valorant, having just that one extra player makes the game so much easier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only are you elo boosting one more account at the same time, you're adding another really good player onto your team, which means that the games will go faster. Valorant elo boosters actually have Discord servers in which they will post an order that they're working on to find multiple other boosters to play together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This drastically speeds up the process and makes elo boosting so much easier. If you're ever in a game of Valorant and you see three people on the enemy team with pings over a hundred, get the fuck out because they are about to open you up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to Zerez, a large boosting website will receive around 40 orders for an Immortal boost every month on the North American server. There are currently around 6 major websites, which means that with just these big players combined, there are roughly around 960 orders for Valorant Immortal in every 4 month episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This does not account for Fiverr, G2A, or the hundreds of Discord servers out there and other private sellers in the market who also give out elo boosting. There are roughly 20,000 immortal players in North America at one time, which means by the most conservative estimates, at minimum,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 5% of all immortal players in North America are elo boosted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imagine this scene after 20 years. Imagine you've been elo boosting for 20 years. Are you going to just suddenly stop elo boosting and try to get a regular career?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the ping correction change that we talked about earlier in this video, that was implemented a few months ago by Riot. And it's already very clear that most of the elo boosters have already adapted after just such a short period of time. They are adapting, they are changing, they are doing everything in their power to stay in this job. Think about this from Riot's perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to California software engineers to police kids making up to $20 an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's also a monetary incentive to keep these kids in the game. ELO boosters are some of the game's most hardcore addicts. They were literally playing 10 hours a day every single day for a living. It's pretty clear at this point that regardless if it's League of Legends, Valorant, or some other crazy game that Riot is still developing at this point,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't matter what game it is, the only thing that will stop ELO boosting in Riot Games' community is if Riot Games themselves go out of business. My name's DongHwa, thanks for watching.

[Assistant] Well, we were just talking about you. Eh, I don't know what we were saying, Mickey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ducked the police over at the office and then talked to dad by long distance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said to see you at once. Yes, I talked to your father a few minutes ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, that's an idea. Yeah, I think I can get her to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry, I'm sure everything will work out just the way we want it. Keep me advised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, darling, but what other solution is there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If my father finds out what happened, I'll be fired and disinherited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Darling, you're the most wonderful girl in the world. We'll be married as soon as King straightens everything out. I'd like to see my dad object to our marriage now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day I was looking at the pictures in the rogues gallery and I got an idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole underworld. You're supposed to be the key witness. The guy that's lifting the lid wide open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if you're telling the truth, and you're getting nothing for your testimony, of course you're doing the right thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on, let's get going. Be with you in a minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what is it? Seneca just picked up Bill Duncan and Johnny Mason. It looks bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I, I tell you chief, I, I thought maybe it'd kind of go easier for me on the wrap if I gave you this information. You see, I don't think Johnny Mason crossed the syndicate. You know, he might have thought this guy Dugan was the real Dugan from New York.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never mind that. This isn't your first defense.

[Assistant] I'm sorry, but this time you'll get six months before we deport you. Next time it'll be worse. It's the law. I saw Hucky.

[Assistant] If we knew which side the street hall was working, our client, Mr. Bentucka, might appreciate it. We don't want any collisions we don't have to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a lawyer, you're a clever little lawyer and I've taken over the formation of this numbers monopoly to make it legal, respectable and very profitable for you. And I've done it for two reasons. What's the second reason? Frankly, the first is money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the, uh, second reason is my brother. He's 50 years old, a man with heart trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when 776 hits tomorrow and wipes out his capital, it'll wipe out his life. He'll turn white and die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hadn't seen my brother Leo for years, and here he was back in the slums where we were born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ran a small numbers bank the way another man runs a restaurant or bar. These collection offices were called banks. And they were like banks because money was deposited there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were unlike banks because the chances of getting money out were a thousand to one. These were the odds against winning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to see my brother Leo Morse. I'm Joe Morse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've come to take you out of this air shaft and put you in a real office, in a real business to pay you back for everything because you're my older brother. That's why I'm here. I come around after I'm dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a fight to get this proposition for you, Leo. I had to stick my neck way out. Now you listen to me. Something very serious is about to happen to your business. You're one of 20 or 30 numbers banks in the city. One of the smaller ones. Suppose a combine moves in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this brother made your bank the number one bank in the combination and the merger in the corporation. What corporation, Tucker?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you call this? Payoffs for gambling, an illegal lottery, policy, violation 974, the penal code, policy, the numbers racket. I do my business honest and respectable. Honest, respectable?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't you take the nickels and dimes and pennies from people who bet just like every other crook big or little in this racket? They call this racket policy because people bet their nickels on numbers instead of paying their weekly insurance premium. That's why policy. That's what it is and that's what it's called.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Tucker wants to make millions, you want to make thousands, and you, you do it for $35 a week. But it's all the same, all policy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leo, be calm. Tuck will make you honest. Tuck will make you respectable. He's giving me a quarter of a million dollars to create public sentiment, to make policy legal like Bingo Bango and the Irish sweepstakes. I'm paying you back, Leo. I'll make you rich with an office in Wall Street up in the clouds. Be calm, Leo. Be sensible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bunty, this is Moss. Are you clean? Can I talk? I want you to get a tip into the police so they throw a raid into my brother's bank. I'll take the responsibility. I want this done right away, this afternoon. I want my brother to know that Tucker's running policy. I want to force him in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm on the street. Let's not make a big spiel out of this. I want my brother kept in jail till I get him out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Larry, what took you so long to answer? Has my brother called yet? Well, he will, that dumb you. No, I'm still at Tucker's apartment. I'll be here. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got $25,000 for you to play with, two and two. Will that be enough? You'll get change. Does he know exactly what he has to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, Bunty, you look after the politics. I'll take care of the business. It's a normal operation. 776 will hit tomorrow because Taylor makes it hit. Tomorrow night, every bank in the city is broken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we step in and lend money to those we want while we let the rest go to the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because I'm killing myself over that dumb brother of mine doesn't mean I'm ready to die for anyone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you know? You know, everything I touch tends to go. It's raining out and I promised my brother to take you home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forget it. You were just a telephone call that came into the police station. And it was a wrong number. How does it feel to be a wrong number, Miss Lowry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make a pass for you, bowl you over, sweep you up, take the childishness out of you, and give you money and sin. That's real wickedness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what wickedness is? If I put my hand in my pocket and gave you a ruby, a million dollar ruby, but no, because you're beautiful and a child with advantages, because I wanted to give it to you without taking anything for myself, would that be wicked?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's perversion. Don't you see what it is? It's not natural. To go to great expense for something you want, that's natural. To reach out to take it, that's human, that's natural. But to get your pleasure from not taking...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From cheating yourself deliberately like my brother did today. From not getting, from not taking. Don't you see what a black thing that is for a man to do? How it is to hate yourself, your brother. Make him feel that he's guilty, that I'm guilty. Just to live and be guilty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The numbers banks exploded into bankruptcy as the lucky players won. But I had a last proposition for my brother to save his money, to save his life, to clear my conscience. And I went up to see him and his wife. Hello Sylvia, I was in the neighborhood so I thought I'd drop in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen Leo, you go down to your business tomorrow and I'll be there. And I'll see to it that you get out of the business in a couple of months a rich man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're here, you might as well sit down and have some supper. Thanks. I have a few things to attend to. I'll see you tomorrow. Good night. Good night, Sylvia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well don't you have anything better to do? I'm free the rest of the night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we're reorganizing the whole business now. We need every man's loyalty at this time. You can't make me stay. You can't. How can you make me? What are you gonna do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna be friends with all you people. I'm looking ahead to where we can work on a nice, friendly basis. I don't believe in an employer who has to say to his people, you've got to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like an employer whose people do things by themselves because they like to, because they're loyal to the business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ben has to expect those things. All is in the business and, uh, Ben Tucker is a stock in trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm an attorney. Legally, I'm in a fiduciary relationship with your husband.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I use it for everything. I'm at the disposal of my clients.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are you always offering to deliver bad news to me? What do you want? What are you waiting to see?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need a broken man to love break your husband. I'm not a nickel. I don't spend my life in a telephone. If that's what you want for love, you can't use me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was a little shocking to find out that he had moved in so fast. It was something to worry about, and something to take care of, and something to remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Conversations over the phone aren't much use as legal evidence. But they tell a smart lawyer where the evidence can be found. What it might be. It was the first step in making a case against the combination. And the combination was Ben Tucker and myself. When you make a living, you accept the risks. But I had taken an extra risk because of Leo. To give him confidence. I had shown my face to the bankers that morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A man could spend the rest of his life trying to remember what he shouldn't have said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had forgotten Doris for a moment, and then I was glad she was there waiting. She was someone to talk to. We walked down Wall Street to Trinity Church, and she kept watching me, wondering what had happened there in that office of mine. I think she had made up her mind to fall in love with me. And I wouldn't have minded it another time. It would have been a change from the kind of women I knew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My trouble is, Miss Lowry, that I feel like midnight, and I don't know what the morning will be, except for a little while I felt pretty easy here, talking to you, liking you here. You're the only one I ever talked to, Doris. You're the only one I ever talked to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just told the district attorney's office we'll plead guilty. It'll be top fines all around. Anybody can pay fines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew I would never come back to this fancy office again. I could see the cobwebs on the walls and assign office for rent for a smart young lawyer trying to get ahead in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a holiday. A holiday is when you celebrate something that's all finished up, that happened a long time ago, and now there's nothing left to celebrate but death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The day I was born. And I'm sorry for you that I got you into this. A girl with advantage trying to make a living.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I was a man, a boy with advantages, trying to make a living.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't know what it is to wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night and eat your lunch and read the papers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And hear the horns blowing in the streets and the horns blowing in the clubs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took a risk to make a million. Wasn't that right for me? I lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But all is wrong if he thinks I'm gonna spend the rest of my life in jail. I'm leaving, Dallas. I'm running away with a pocket full of money. You wanna come? The money is for you, too, if you want it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if a man's life can be lived so long and come out this way, like rubbish, and something was horrible and had to be ended one way or another, then I decided to help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you seen her again? Every day she comes to see me at International. Every night at Scheherazade. She wants to make things right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess it must be pretty grim in Chicago right now. Lucky for me, I got out one I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's good. He's really good, Isabelle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if he wanted to keep in with her, he shouldn't have said those terrible things about her and her chauffeur. Unfortunate part about it is that they're all true.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's a risk I dare and take, Mr. Jones. I've talked to some girls who escaped from Nan Chao, and... I've also seen some who didn't escape. We simply got to go back and get her, that's all.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you know what a first-rate courier can do. You're so good at this, I'll get you a job at it after the war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He and I will go about it. You stay put. I might be... You might be able to land us in the soup, that's all. How long do you think you can wander around Italy without running into the Gestapo or the Obra? You think they won't check your papers with Berlin? No, sir. You stay put or the deal is off. Okay. Where can I stay?

[Assistant] If he ever gets to the top, he'll find those wires carry a pretty stiff current. Call all the gardeners together and have them search the grounds thoroughly. They'll find a man hiding somewhere. Yes, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you see, you now know so much about my business interests that, uh, well, I can't let you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this is up to you, Moran. I don't consider that report delivered. You'll have to get it if you want your 50,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll come along with you, Moran. And you too. You better come with us. You keep your eye on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems to be an impasse, Jordan. You can't very well get out of this estate without my setting off the alarm and catching you. As long as you hold that gun, I can't get very far either, can I? I should say about a step and a half. Oh, exactly. I suggest we make a deal. Originally you wanted a hundred thousand for that report, didn't you? Well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why should you give up a hundred thousand dollars for the sake of a country that considers you an enemy of society?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luigi, Dr. Nauheim from Berlin doesn't speak Italian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Captain Rawls, it is the purpose of this investigation to determine whether or not an act of barity has been committed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome, Captain Rolls. It's so very good to see you. To what may I ask do I owe this visit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last time we saw each other, I made a vow that the next time we met, I'd give you a surprise you'd never forget.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went through a lot of trouble. It'll be worth it. You see, Rawls, I'm not one of those eye for an eye men. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I suggest you prepare yourself for an extended visit here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as my guest, I prefer that you accept my hospitality until I'm ready for you to go. So you'll join me at dinner tomorrow night, Captain? It'll be rice duffel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's too bad. Perhaps you, Mr. Rosen, will join me. And make up in part for the captain's absence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have the location of five millions in gold, which I want back. Now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You may have thought that the sinking of the Red Witch was a daring and intrepid adventure. I can understand that attitude. It would have been mine at your age. But Mr. Rosen, whether you're aware of it or not, you've gone into partnership with a very dangerous man. A murderer, in fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not an accusation, young man. It's a statement of fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, you're being used by Rawls for his own purposes. Purposes which I shall try to make clear to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I know Captain Rolls, he's told you very little about himself and, as you say, nothing about me. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to tell you the real reason for the sinking of the Red Witch, and I'm not going to leave anything out, even though occasionally you may see me in a bad light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We must go back a few years, let us say seven, for my first meeting with Captain Rose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me, what makes you think you're a better man than Yunga? By looking at him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to be sure you understood. This is still my ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From now on, whether afloat or ashore, consider Captain Rawls is out of your jurisdiction. He's on a special mission for Bacha. After you, Captain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've heard much of you, Mrs. Sydney, but I never expected to see you on Te Wata. Oh, rather trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm afraid we shall have to infringe on your hospitality for a few days. I should like nothing better. And you come at a very good time this venated festival soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is the other Captain? Captain Rolls, Monsieur de Say. And Mademoiselle Angélique de Say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You play well, Mademoiselle. Yes, you play extremely well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are there many pearls like these on the islands, Monsieur? For the natives, yes. More brandy, Captain? It's part of their worship. Each month they have a great feast. Bake one at the foot of a monolith. Then scatter the ashes to the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With great pleasure that I announce the forthcoming marriage of my niece, Angelique, to my charming and unexpected guest, Mr. Myron Sidney.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would have chosen a more gentle way. In my country, Monsieur, the family arrange all these affairs of the heart first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A man like Rose, Mr. Rosen. An unbalanced man. Who can say what he might do? Not I. And I assure you, I've never underestimated you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the next few days I sensed a brooding, dangerous, tenseness in him, but nothing definite, until at last what had been seizing inside him burst through the surface. The natives were preparing a great feast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A feast that none of us who attended would ever forget. It was their festival of the half moon. The ceremony of the pearls, Mr. Rosen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet a thousand thanks he never comes up. I'll take that bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First the Pearls, then Angelique. All in good time to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's a murderous scoundrel who's robbing you of your wealth. In the name of the Emperor, I place you under arrest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I made a master of the Red Witch. He got everything he wanted except the one thing he couldn't have. Ah, Jolique.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew he couldn't reach me through Angelique, so he destroyed the thing next dearest to my heart, and you helped him, Mr. Rosen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yama told me you had a visitor. I'm reminded, Rawls, of the years of the locust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sleeps for seven then comes up out of the ground and devours everything in sight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The flower had been waiting for seven years to be devoured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told you to disable the ship, not blow it to kingdom come, you fool, you stupid idiot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you. Yes. Both of you. Thought I was stupid enough to rely on the gate alone, didn't you? Stumbling blindly ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my own time, my own way, a man can be alive and still be dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alive rolls meant something to me, something you wouldn't understand. Oh, if you were my daughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? I should say we're even in the matter of ships. The only thing that doesn't balance is the matter of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Captain Munzey. Well, well, you honor us, sir. Actually, I am not here on pleasure. He followed us from Surabaya, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, uh, really? Why? What's on your mind, Captain? I intend to put you and all your associates in a cell at Laramgur. And I won't hesitate a moment if the circumstance is warranted. Well then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't say I shall be sorry to see you disappointed, sir. This time I may not be. A ship was blown up tonight. Just outside the lagoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dynamite was left over from, uh, cargo brought in to widen the lagoon. You'll find it declared in the records at La Rangouin. Hmm. Very strange, wasn't it, that you should choose this particular


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As my guest, Captain Muncie, your visit is most welcome. But as a meddlesome official...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a miserable, sniveling lot Rawls has made of you, every one of you. Babbling like a lot of idiots. Turn back to the window and keep your eyes on a man. Rawls lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He makes every day of living a challenge. Beside him, you're all decadent... dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They'll go free with part of the gold, but you and I have something to settle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every minute you're on this island, you're in danger. People watch every move you make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Monsieur, I've told my uncle I won't marry you and now I tell it to you. I'm sorry, there's nothing more to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't know my uncle. He'd like to pit you against Rawls the same way he did Dussay. Simply for his own amusement. So he twisted the facts all out of shape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what he didn't tell you was that raw sardines you lick again. Twice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first time was nearly a year ago. The Red Witch came into Surabaya for the first time in years to pick up a very important cargo. Go. I was visiting Angelique then. We were in the sewing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you have the whole story. All the pieces my uncle left out. Now you can see things as they really are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he's not that direct. He's not that rational anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I were, I would have done the same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the Perugia Cemetery. She died six months ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shouldn't be so difficult to figure out. Stood at the window, saw you leave the hotel, and noticed the cab number that picked you up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got to Pierce's hotel room before I did. I want the Argyle out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, not just like that. I could be nasty, you know, after all the police want you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I forgot to tell you. Never offer a cigarette light to a woman of, uh, questionable background.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe you. At least I'm fool enough to be willing to believe you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some men weren't so sure that we'd win this late and little lamented war. So they made deals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deals with men who should have been their enemies. Big money deals. So that they'd come out all right, no matter which side won. The records of those deals were buried deep. What happened? A bomb made a direct hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bank vault opened like a spoiled tin can and spilled its rotten secrets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then came the scavengers, the looters who always followed air raids, and with them Winter, who found among the debris the documents of betrayal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Winter had lived in America before, recognized the names and inscribed and knew that he had found a fortune. A fortune in blackmail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Outlast in occupation, conceal a record and get to America. That wasn't easy. Then he had to work out a careful system of extortion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he was dealing with men bigger and more dangerous than himself. That wasn't easy either. And after all that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Million to one twist of fate would lead a band of hoodlums to that particular locker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They blew up a section of the lockers with a dynamite stick and sold the album along with other stored items and has been missing ever since. Until Alan Pierce started hinting about an international scandal in his column. So since you were the first one to get to Pierce's suite after he died, naturally, Winter had reason to suspect you might have the album. Big men whose names are involved wanted to. Lots of people wanted badly, as I said before, including me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't think I'd have given you a chance like this if I really cared?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I'll tell them. That you choked me and I couldn't yell. You go down the fire escape. I'll give you plenty of time before I call them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll expect to hear from you. I'm at the Hotel Wilmington.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You left a trail. And the trail led farther than any had before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He died while Winter questioned him. We had to take him from the office because we were afraid the police would arrive. I don't like talking about-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Winter was questioning McBridey, he pointed to Archie's corpse and said, ask him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harry, I don't know. I'm no mind reader. It meant to Winter that at least McBroad had known where it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then too, Harry, you're such an upright boy, with such an overdeveloped sense of righteousness. You might have done something silly, like having the police waiting there for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh well, to the victor belongs something. How did you know where it was?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see. And McBride realized that Elizabeth was helping Archie. And he could have gotten a copy of the album from her. If he hadn't left him and gotten killed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still worth a lot of money, Harry, to at least one man who can afford to pay us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see. You're gonna take up where he left off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll be a big break for you, Harry. A hefty byline. Maybe even a column syndicated. You'll get rich in your own way. Heep big scandal monger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a fine one to talk. Oh, it's great to be on the winning side. All you respectable crooks hang together and we, we just hang. Well, I quit the campfire girls a long time ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sterling credentials. That we have no credentials in the field. See, credentials seem to be self-limiting in the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as you are is of course the sum of your whole past. So when someone's being authentic, you get the feeling that not only that there's a person there in the moment,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But somehow you, you reach into their very essence and you, you meet a unique individual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You thought you were a quarterback away from winning a Super Bowl. That's why you made the move that you made. You thought you needed a quarterback and that was it. That's why you went all in to get Deshaun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now obviously, defensively, you probably got a lot more problems than you thought you did. And I agree with defensive tackles are a disaster. It's not that they haven't addressed it. It's that they have, they can't find the guys. They've tried to address it and they keep missing. Is it a personnel? Is it a coaching thing? I don't know. Is it an inability to evaluate the position? But that's, that's the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The biggest part of your pitch to the quarterback, to convince him to come here, aside from the 230 million, the biggest part of your pitch was Kevin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kevin sitting down with Deshaun and chopping up film for an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just the two of them going over. This is how you did it in Houston. This is how I want to use you here. This is how it'll look. This is how we can do it. You have to give it the chance to see how that looks. And I don't just mean these six games. This whole season has been a disaster. This whole season. I hate the word distraction. I think it's overused in the media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's the most dangerous part, that's the most terrifying part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To your point about the seeds, like, Pauldy Modesto, you can say what you want about them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wanted to hire Sean McDermott. Look how that's turned out in Buffalo. It was down to Kevin Stefanski and Robert Saleh for this job. Look what Saleh's doing with the Jets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do think Deepadusta knows what he's doing in terms of trying to build a franchise, build an organization, build a roster, and not build a roster, I'm sorry, put people in place to do their jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a little bit of evidence that he knows how to find head coaches. It goes back to your point of a good scene bet. So is he two for three and Kevin's the one he whiffed on and missed on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] point. What coach that we know part of the part of the part of the issue with that though part of the issue is it is so bad here. You know this. It is so bad here. It's difficult for those guys to go get other opportunities. I do think Mike Petten probably could. I think because now the toxin


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen that with the Cavs, where I've seen really good people get blown out and they can't get another opportunity because they're stained and they're actually really good at what they do, but they can't get another chance. Who is it? I'll tell you off. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hang on, I don't want to let this owner thing go because you brought up a really good point that we need to get back to. When I was at the owner's meetings in Palm Beach, Florida, West Palm last year, we sat, I sat with Jimmy and Dee for an hour and most of it was off the record, but this part was on the record and this was fairly terrifying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, did Pittsburgh prepare you? That's my question. Did Pittsburgh prepare you for what you were walking into as majority owners in Cleveland?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They laughed at me. They openly laughed at me and Jimmy said, no, we had no idea what we were getting into. He said, we walked in at Pittsburgh. They had Kevin Colbert, Mike Tomlin and Ben Rothfussberger at the most important positions of the organization. They had three established.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] respected people who knew what they were doing at the most important positions. And Jimmy said we were getting size for, we were getting fitted for Super Bowl rings before we even wrote the equity checks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they thought, they said, we thought this was easy. And they came here without those three important positions filled, and they've never been able to fill them. And ten years of owning this team, they've never been able to get one of them right, let alone all three. GM, head coach, quarterback, they've never gotten one of them right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you guys to hold on just long enough to find out because again, Kevin's, the whole Brown's pitch was 230 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their pitch, they were with them for I think two hours. They spent two hours with Deshaun and Rusty Harden's office. Half of that time was Kevin and Deshaun watching film together and Kevin showing him, this is how I want to use you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defensive tackle is the only position that they've taken a guy every year within the first four rounds. And they've missed. And they, so either they're, they can't identify talent or they can't coach the talent. I don't know which it is, but they signed, they signed Taven Bryant in free agency. He wasn't good in Jacksonville. They keep missing. It's not that they're not ignoring it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] James Robinson has outproduced Kareem Hunt. You were never going to get the third round pick, and I, you know, I was saying before the season, dangle them out there, see what you can get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why he's throwing to the tight ends. He's got Jacobi Berset and Baker Mayfield. They were trying to get away from the three tight end sets when they got Deshaun. And when the suspension went to 11 games, now you got guards playing tight end. You're signing Farrell Brown. So listen, I can say everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know you kill them for this. And I actually think this is exactly what that building needs because that building is insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's, we've, we've all read, go back and read some of the stories in Sports Illustrated about what that building's like. I've talked to coaches who've been in there about how the main thing is never the main thing. It's always just helter skelter and it's, it's just insanity. He's a steadying force. Absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't think it's a coincidence that their best season was the COVID year when everybody else was out of the building. They handled that very well. I don't think that's a coincidence. I think there's a lot to that. But I like the fact that he is a steady hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the fact that he isn't Freddy. And he isn't- He is an adult. He's an adult in the room. And I think they need that. I think this organization needs that. And I think we need to see this all the way through. I don't know how I've become the Stefanski Apologist. I've killed him just as much as you guys have. I thought the Patriots game was pitiful. Yesterday was deplorable. It's inexcusable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One other thing I just want to say, Brad, would you want them fired if they were four and five or five and four?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are what your record is. There are three and six. You gotta own it. You gotta wear it. The game, football is a game of inches. We all know that. They're a 58 yard kick in week one from being two and seven. You're right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the only thing. That's true. Here's the only thing I'll say. They had a catastrophic historic loss against the Jets that never should have happened. Fall on the onside kick and you're 4 and 5. They had Baltimore 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got a bullcrap penalty in the end zone that should have never been called. We saw push-offs yesterday that were worse than what Cooper did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the end zone in Baltimore. Yeah. Now you're five and four. Yep. And it looks completely different. Now you are what your record is and you're three and six. You got to wear it. They're this close from five and four. They're also close to two and seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying, this isn't, to me, I don't look at this and say, this isn't salvageable. And you can't make a drastic decision like firing the coach and starting all over until you know it is not salvageable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I defer to Brad on a lot of this because he was in the locker room and I wasn't. I have the conversations with guys, I've talked to people around the league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the thing. I don't, I think Kevin shows a lot more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say nothing. Belichick's the same boy. He's exactly the same. He just doesn't want to make a headline. Yeaah. But the guy he is in the locker room and off the camera, I think is far different than what we see. And listen, all


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have to go on is what we see. So I totally get making that assumption. But I also think, I'll go back to the play at the goal line, what was it, Atlanta where they had the holding call and everyone killed them. Everyone killed them and said, how can you make that call?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was told Brissette left the pocket, like that wasn't the play call. Do you know? Kobe left the pit. Once you Kobe leaves the pocket and scrambles when it was a clean pocket, he didn't need to go. Now you get the hold and now everything goes back. But Kevin doesn't say that. Kevin just says I have to be better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's an incredibly dangerous game. I've been saying that for a month. I've been saying it for a month. Why would the players care about that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is not going to be Lebron walking back into Cleveland in 2010.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, I, I don't think that's, everyone's looking at that as an easy win. I know, but they've been in a lot of games. I don't think they're as bad, I said it about Atlanta, I don't think they're as bad as their record, and Atlanta's turned out to be, I think, better than people thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was a little surprised he got that role at the start of the year. I think JB showing deference to the veteran and, and, and the fact that Karras is sort of malleable and will just do anything that's asked of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And frankly, they don't have any better options right now. You know, Okoro's just been a disaster. Dean Wade would give him the length of the lineup that JB likes playing with, but I don't know that you really want to commit to that. So, you know, I disagree with you on Adam and Sue, but I tend to, I think I might agree with you on Mello.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimately, I do think it's going to be okay, but you know, this is the one thing that I said when they made this trade was,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Darius was rolling when he had the ball in his hands the whole time. Him and Colin could not figure it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as soon as you separated two ball-dominant guys, Darius flourished. Well here you are putting him with another ball-dominant guy. Obviously Donovan is a better player than Colin, obviously. And he's gonna take the team farther if there was just one of you. He is. I, I, I don't think we're at this point yet, but I wonder if it's gonna come to the point. And Brad, I'm curious what you think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he first came out, I kept asking people, could he be a three? And the answer was adamant, no, he's a four. We're not messing with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's a transcendent talent if he's a three. Like he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, we had two years of evidence of Darius playing with another ball dominant card. Like, this isn't just six games. We had two years of evidence playing with another ball dominant card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda gave mine away already. I was gonna actually talk about Jeff Saturday was gonna be my final take today. Just the fact that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two things can be true at once, and I think Bill Cower is right. I think it is a slap in the face to coaches who are trying to come up in the industry. There's only 32 of these jobs, and to pluck somebody who's your buddy and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is jarring and alarming and yet if it works, nobody's going to care. And I think we're a long way from knowing whether or not it works. It's just funny to me, the, the swings that the story has taken when it was first announced that he was the head coach, I think it was outrage across everyone was like, what are the Colts doing? This is insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now if they lose three or four straight as, as the thing continues to swing back and forth, we just need to let this get to the end of the season, find out if he, if he does have any idea what he's doing or not. It is outside the box. Certainly. Uh, I would only caution. My only point of caution would be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is something to knowing the culture and knowing the routine. And Jeff, and the comparison I'm gonna make is not exactly apples to apples.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was a disaster. He didn't know the league. He didn't know the culture. He had no idea what he was doing. Couldn't even drop an in-bounce play half the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how's this gonna go with Jeff Saturday? We're gonna find out. He knows the culture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the NFL, but he doesn't know the day to day routine of being a head coach. I was surprised at how vocal Joe Thomas was. Joe doesn't normally get that animated and he just absolutely murdered Earth Day and Jeff Saturday. And now we see, now we've got the rest of the season to find out.

[Assistant] It will, if this works, it will make people rethink hires. There's no question about it. We've seen it in politics with people who don't, who came from outside the game and had a political career. Now we're seeing it in the NFL, people who come from outside the club. There will be other instances like this if this works with Jeff Saturday and the Colts. Well said, I agree.

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

[Assistant] And those people that follow him are called Mormons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, because we have such a firm belief in the family unit and the sanctity of family life.

[Assistant] So I cannot claim that I am skilled at poker from this argument.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's try to analyze the structure of this argument. First I have, if I'm skilled at poker, I'm going to give that a P.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So far today, DeGaron has had two face-to-face meetings with his client, cult leader David Koresh, inside the besieged Branch Davidian compound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Certified farm workers and pay them legal wages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Pablo here, sure, we're old friends. We worked on a case together in Brownsville, Texas years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll follow Pablo, you see, and I'll nail down all the contacts that he makes. Now, that'll take care of the Mexican side. As far as the American side is concerned, I thought if I had some illegal crossing permits that are numbered, wherever they turn up, we've got a complete case. And we may be able to knock off both ends in the same operation. It's a good plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in case it gets a little rugged for me, who's my contact? Me, the agent in charge at Calexico. Uh, and if I should get a knife in my back? I'll call a doctor for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, Neely. This is the fella in the fancy cowboy shirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I was disappointed in love. Maybe I would like to make some American dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello? Yeah, Hugo, what's the matter? I've been trying to get you all day long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those permits. You got more, huh? Look out where that thing is loaded, you know. Sure I got more of them. I got a bundle of them. You wanna buy them? Buy them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, put that on. Why, are we going someplace? Oh, sure. We're going someplace. Hey, give me my socks. You can wear mine. Skip it, I'll do without. You got more, huh? What'd you think, I was kidding? Maybe right here. Why don't you look around? Cugillo, look again, look every place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hugo sent us. Hugo crazy? Oh, it is important to him and to you, so we run the risks. What do you mean? About the immigration permit, senor. What about them? You're having trouble for them, huh? For the lack of it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're a couple of cheap border crooks. They stole that stuff out of my room. Oh, they did? Take them off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What'd you have in mind? Well, no sense beating around the bush. You've got something I want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can hang around the bunkhouse till I send for you. Anything is safe. You don't seem very cooperative. I didn't ask you guys to interfere. What's the matter, Mac? I got you out of a tough spot, didn't I? I don't know. Where are those permits? I got them in a safe place. I need them. Sure you do. Everybody does. First those two scorpions tried to get them, then Hugo wanted them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your little pal here, he even tried to make a deal with me for him. Nice little spadework, Parky, trying to help you out at that zone. Yeah, thanks, Jeff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I find if you do business with the top man, you get the top price. You're talking to him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] House files apiece. You have over 400, haven't you? Around 425. Only the price is $10 apiece.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. They didn't steal that too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, some liberty. I'll pay you the cash in my voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's something I already know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You load them on the truck, okay? Are you asking me or you're telling me? One can ask, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I got twenty to thirty minutes. I could be in New York by that time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, these guys give you any trouble? Nah, a bunch of sheep. Just the old guy's time, that's all. It's ran out in thirty. Thirty bucks a head, right? Tell these hombres they want to come back to get in touch with us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the toughest end. You think you can take it? Why not? You don't want to get mixed up many brawls. You're strictly the brainy type. Eh, Zopaloti?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know you from a bar of soap. You can beat it, Clay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The long legal battle over the 1993 siege of the Branch Davidians complex may be nearing an end following a jury ruling on Friday. A jury ruled the government was not to blame for the cult members

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doctor? Another young girl just left here, alone. Very suitable. Yes, it'll be right over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The failures we've had were due to the subjects, they were not the right ones. But remember, Grombuna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello? Did you get everything ready, doctor? As another? Oh, I'm so sorry. I see that you get your check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, hi there, uh, Brooke Shields. Nice to meet you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An evil witch! How do you know I'm the evil one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm looking forward to that. He sort of teased that yesterday. I'm curious. He mentioned a catcher that he thinks that the Guardians should really go after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm curious to see which name he's gonna throw out at us. Uh, you mentioned Aditi. Aditi's gonna be on. She's coming on the second half hour. She'll kick off our noon hour. We're gonna talk about the Browns-Dolphins matchup. There's a lot to get into there. Big, big. They're all big, let's face it. But this one's really big for the Browns. It's an AFC game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're already in a big hole in the AFC when it comes to tiebreakers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miami is a team that will certainly be in the mix for a wild card spot, perhaps a divisional title, but right now it looks like a wild card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Devlin Ohio is the new one. That's the one I've heard about. Uh, and he kind of, true to form, he plays this guy that's a big Cleveland Browns and Ohio State Buckeye fan. He's going to join us here in just a little bit at the bottom of the hour. But we have to do, we're starting with No Fence Riders. So is, do we, do we already have Maurice on? Maurice?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While we wait for him, G. Bush, yesterday, one of the things we talked about was the Browns matching up against the Dolphins. We talked about the most pivotal player for the Browns in this football game. I think it's Denzel. I think if he doesn't play, it's an L, period. I think if he plays, we have a very, very good chance of winning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What say you about who the pivotal player in this football game is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know we don't want to look too far ahead of ourselves, but I, I, you know, when we did the preseason talk about where do they have to be when Watson comes back, I think everybody kind of agreed if you're not six and five, you're really on the outside looking in. You're going to, you're going to ask Deshaun to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you can't get there if you lose this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't. That's why I think this is, I think the playoffs are underway. I think they are for the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He confuses me. I don't know how he got, I don't know how he got away, how he missed the radar. But Northwestern is filled with guys like that. And this year they're having a down year. Obviously they're a lower tier team in the Big Ten. But don't sleep on these guys because they still have premier athletes. And if you take them for granted, they will stand up and they'll make some noise against you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I do. I think he doesn't want to take that hit. But at the same time, you've got to be able to get home. Uhm, you know, I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leroy said do not blitz to it. Don't do it. You're playing into their hand if you blitzed them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree. What do you think, Maurice? Do you think they should come hard with blitzies?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Ty is not here to defend himself, but Jason, you are. Why do you think he won't?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree with you. I do think they're very similar in their mindsets. They're this young, you know, renegade, Wild Wild West type coach when it comes to those situations. But the reason I said yes is, Maurice, for the exact same reason you did, I think the Browns backs are against the wall. And I think they're gonna, normally you would coach that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Particularly late in the game if you needed a score, but I think they're gonna play this entire football game like it's six minutes to go and they're down a score. At least I hope they play with that urgency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has more receiving arts by himself than the Cowboys, the Steelers, the Falcons, the Texans, Giants, Bears, Ravens, Titans!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think one of the problems that I have here is I cannot...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if they play of that caliber where guys are clearly on the same page, because against Cincinnati, they communicated well, there weren't those breakdowns. But if they play at all like they did in the first six games of the season, where it was one mental breakdown after another, guys


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'll have more receiving yards than probably the two of them and Nijoku thrown in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone else we asked on the panel. Well, I just want with the numbers, I mean, Dolphins are second to last in the league in turnover ratio, or takeaways I think. They have three, that's it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's stunning to me. And they have a winning record, which is even more crazy because typically if you've only taken the ball away three times, you're not beating teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the next thing you know, Brady's so crafty at a quick little turn, slide and release. And I don't know if he learned that from playing under him in New England, but he, he's done that a number of times this year where I say, he's Tom Brady in that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking that he's only got three touchdowns and you know that the more the sample size, the more you come back to the where your average.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if he plays, he's got to play like the old Denzel Ward from last year, not the guy that we've seen for most of this year. What's your take on that? Should they man ward against Hill? How would you defend Hill?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I like what you said about our stud on your stud, see who wins. And also the fact that, you know, it's almost like the hitter in baseball that's having a terrible series, then comes up in a huge spot in game six or seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he gets that one home run and all is forgotten. If he can man hill and lock him up and the Browns win this game, that's going to erase a lot of the warts that we've seen from him earlier this year. And I think he knows that big challenge. And I love what you said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big time players want to step up and they want to be against the best player on the other team. So hopefully he's healthy. He's on the field and we'll see what happens. Maurice, always good to see you. I want to ask you about the Buckeyes. They're playing Indiana. You don't see another


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playing down to the competition, do you? This should be a really easy one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and you can't fake nasty either. You can't, you can't manufacture it. It's new or it's not. And right now I agree with you. I think there's, there's a little bit of softness to this Buckeye team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maurice, thanks so much. Have a great week. We'll check with you next week, my friend. Always good. The great Maurice Claret. We've talked about this a lot with the Browns, that they don't seem to have that nasty streak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I've noticed the same thing with Ohio State. I saw it first against the Notre Dame game. I thought there were times where they should have been angry and stepped up and somebody should have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't seen it from them all year long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, uh, we're excited right now because we're bringing, we love when we have folks that are outside the sports universe, but that are big sports fans on the program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sam Yeager's a guy who is, uh, up and coming actor. He's got this Netflix thing we want to talk to him about. I know as you're seeing him right now, you're going, oh yeah, I know that guy. I know that guy. He is a huge Browns fan. He's a huge Buckeye fan. Sam, welcome to the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. It's great to have you on, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we're glad to have you for sure. Tell us about the origins of your Buckeye fandom. I mean, most of us are born into this nonsense. How did you become a Browns and a Buckeye fan?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really is and now that you have, you know, the fear of losing all the money for these either upper class, the kids that are, that know they're going to the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it is. It's a different one. I love Steel Vengeance. I really do. Yeah. I mean. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're putting a new one in right now. It's like the mouse, mouse ride or something. I don't know what it is, but I think they're going to be individual cars that actually spin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While you're going through the roller coaster. And that might be too much for me. That might be too much. I dunno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm fascinated with the journey. There are so many folks that did everything you did. They went to the right college, they studied, they thought they were ready for it. But the number of folks that toil forever and never get those big credits like you've had and those big opportunities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is that like? It's almost like trying to become a professional athlete. If it was easy, everybody would do it. Everybody wants to do it, but there's, there's a tough barrier to entry. Tell us a little bit about your journey. I know you said you went to Audubon, but how did this whole thing unfold for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some actors and actresses don't like to talk about this, and I'll totally understand if you want to take a pass. But I always like asking, what was the role that got away? The one that you really wanted, you thought you had a chance, but you didn't get. Do you have one of those?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a, that's a huge plus. Uh, I've been saying all week long, if Denzel doesn't play, this is a hard L. Uh, I think they've got a serious chance. Now, this, to us it feels, Sam, like it's a playoff game because you start doing the math, you start looking at the schedule going forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somehow you've got to get to six and five and for that to happen, they've got to, you know, they've got to be three really good teams. I mean, Tampa Bay with Tom Brady can be great. They can also be, uh, you know, kind of a question mark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're looking at as, as, as a playoff game and a must win. What have you made of what we've seen from the Browns so far? And what do you think about what this team could be moving forward with Deshaun Watson?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the margin of error really goes away. If you're sitting at six losses and you're nine games in, it's, it's just about, you know, they say you are what your record says you are. At that point, you are a three and six and trying to turn that around somehow would be next to impossible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, it's always fun to see guys, local guys, you know, Perrysburg, Northwest Ohio, but I went to Bowling Green, so I'm very familiar with where that is, from Sandusky. It's always fun to watch local guys work at their craft and become, you know, this force in their field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember the character. The writing on that show was... There was nothing on...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember the parenthood, the one thing that stood out to me about parenthood was it seemed like each show was a major motion picture. The editing was terrific, the acting was out of this world, and I'm with you too, and I said this on This Is Us too. How are they keeping this cast together? The cast was massive apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, nice segue. You see what I did right there? I'm glad you're here today because yesterday I was trying to sell this and it's like a cigar trying to sell us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna eventually do some meet and greets too with the coaches tier folks, so we'll have get togethers with these super fans, and for lack of a better word, I guess these people that are in the coach tier membership. But that's gonna be fun to actually get to meet some of the biggest fans of the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was awesome. No, I mean, who knows, maybe he'll end up in Saw. Maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you would have told me before the game that they were going to shoot 53% from the floor, over 43% from three point range, this was the most stunning stat in a regular season basketball game I've seen in a long time. The Kings had two offensive rebounds all night. Two. That's incredible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Donovan Mitchell had 38 points and they lost by 7. I, what the hell happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the first time I've seen just bad defense. And so is it, is it the west coast legs? Is it, you know, it's not like it was back to back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One shot the last seven minutes and you saw what happened. You cannot blow a 13.84


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last night when they fell down big, they had a good third quarter, but I think it took so much energy digging out of that first half hole. They didn't have it when they needed it in the fourth quarter. McNuggets?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what's concerning to me. What's concerning to me was I thought that this team looked great defensively at times during the first 10 games and last night it seemed like defense was optional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just, they went stretches where they couldn't find offense and they missed the playoffs. So I would, I would think that they would be looking at this regular season and say, okay, focus for 82. It's a full, you know, you gotta run through the tape. And then when you get to the playoffs, then you can start learning those lessons. But they learned a valuable lesson last year, I hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Correct. Just like the ones over Boston don't matter. In the micro, you're right. But we're talking in the macro. I think, I think the macro of the season, there are some lessons they have to learn and they, they, they do need to play like it's a big deal because it is. Not every night, but in the macro, I think it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I do think there might have been some peek ahead. They might have been thinking more about the Warriors than perhaps the Kings. And if you do that in the NBA on the road, particularly on a West Coast trip, you're going to lose. These guys get paid too. And they came to play last night and they just, the other thing too is that defense takes effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's a lot of want to that goes into defense. And maybe they weren't thinking that bull, but subconsciously they're knowing we're on a West Coast trip. We got a big win against the Warriors last night. Let's do enough to get by with the win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you play 48 minutes that way, you're going to lose. You know, you need to be more aggressive than let's just do enough to get by, save a little bit for the Warriors game moving forward. Because last year, the one mistake I thought they made, Jason, I'd love to get your thoughts on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's not a cast member, but was watching them a lot. And I kept saying to him,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm stunned at how hard we're playing defensively. There's a cost to pay for that in March and April because you only have so much fuel to burn and I thought they needlessly burned it on a lot of nights where I think some of the veteran NBA teams were looking at the Cavs going, oh that's cute. They think this matters and they're playing really hard defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, well that would scare, that actually scares me. Cause we know what they're capable of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright Bull, stand by, uh, we're gonna come back to you in a little bit, but right now, Aditi, are you okay? I'm told you were stung by a bee. What? Why? I tell you so many times, Aditi, if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, don't agitate these things. Why are there bees in November? What kind of demonic bees are there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to find out. Nurses take every precaution and we're glad that that's the case. Aditi, your thoughts on Dolphins Browns. We got the good news just a short while ago that Denzel Ward will suit up. I think if there's a game


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd like to have them for every game obviously, but particularly this game with Tyree Kill. What are your thoughts on this matchup?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? I don't know. Maybe I'm speaking out of turn. I think what G. Bush was asking is not public perception. You, personally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baltimore kind of is now Baltimore has emerged as that team. And we know Cincinnati can be very good too, but at three and five, when you're looking up at a six and three,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where I think it's really getting late early for the Browns is suddenly winning that division with a two and a half game gap now looks like it's a more uphill climb. And when you look at what they've done against the other AFC teams that are going to be fighting for these wild card spots, they're not going to have the tiebreaker edge against anybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause they haven't done it this year. A second straight game where they look like the team we thought they were going to be. How do you and how does your perception of this team then change at four and five starting to go into some, some stretch here where you know, you're getting Watson back soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didi, I think the season's over with a lost Sunday. I really do. And I know that sounds like hyperbole, but at three and six, you are what your record says you are. You're not a very good team. You're going to have to be a complete opposite of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Down the stretch and then hope like hell you get a lot of help and make it to the playoffs. I think they have to play Sunday like it's the first round of the playoffs. I really do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know mathematically, of course not, but man, it just feels like, I mean, three and five sucks. It doesn't feel good at all, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when you said that, you reminded me of one of the most incredible stats at


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In all of sports and I'm going to mess this up because I don't know exactly what it is. But as Ben retired, I remember, I think it was Jim Nance on the call saying that in his entire career,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did, what did, how many years was it? Seven? 16? Okay. 18. In his entire career, I think he played one game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where he had no chance of making the playoffs. Where they were actually eliminated from playoff contention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the last game of whatever season that they didn't make the playoff. So, I mean, when you think about that, the fact that he played for all that time,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That every single football game he played was kind of like, you know, we, we, we're still in this thing. We can still have a chance. It's, it's mind numbing to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we were on that plan in the late eighties in the early nineties and it was a hell of a lot of fun. No, we never even got to a Super Bowl, but I'd take that over what we've had over the last 30 years any day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be well, we will see you next week, and I hope your, uh, your bee sting is okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, bye Didi. She just described the Guardians, by the way. She did. Yea, yea. No, she absolutely, to a T. Yea. Because, you know, and I'll take that. I know it's not getting the ring, and I know it's not the ultimate Cavaliers Championship we got to experience, but you're relevant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're playing nationally televised games in October. You know, you're playing in January that those are the moments that we will always remember. So I would take that over. We need more of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll take anything at this point. Alright, Bull, I can't wait to hear your Guardian's preview because yesterday you really piqued my interest when you talked about a specific catcher that you think this team should target. I got one too, let's see if it's the same. Yeah, I want to see if it is the same. So tell us what you got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely. And that's a great point that you don't want to load up too heavily on these young guys because just because they've made it. So the first year, that barrier to entry to being an everyday player in Major League Baseball is very difficult.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it's really prove it time. Cause now the league has a book on you. Now they got tape on you. And so what happened with Mercado was he had holes and, and, and with the scouting staff being what it is now, if you have a weakness, they're going to find it and they are going to kill you with it until you prove you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would just say the law of averages is one of them and I'm not saying it's going to be as drastic as Mercado was.

[Assistant] One of them we're gonna look at in July next year and say, and I hope it's not Oscar Gonzalez. He's the guy that I think really has figured it out. But one of these kids, maybe it's Quan, I don't know. One of them we're gonna look at in July next year and say,

[Assistant] What the hell happened? Was last year a mirage? No. This year, everybody's changing what they're doing to them. They've got the entire offseason to figure out the plan. Once the book is out, it's out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so Bull, I, I'm with you. I would much rather they go out and get, because we do have one in the pipeline in bow nailer, but catchers are tricky. We thought Mahale was going to be that guy. Catchers are tricky. They traded them twice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, sometimes you get intoxicated with a guy's talent, and you think, well he can't miss. But at catcher, it's odd. There's so much to the position of catcher. It's not just your bat, it's how you work with pitchers, your communication skills, your ability to retain the knowledge of 400 hitters that you're going to see throughout the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I, I would rather they go the proven route with the catcher. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The prospect thing is dicey for me at that position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a platoon, he's a platoon DH that hits. I mean, he just, it was really glaring in the playoffs, but even through the regular season, you've gotta have some success against lefties. You just have to. And he has none. And it's just another hole in a lineup that already had two big holes in it to begin with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Possibly. To me, he fits the mold of Encarnacion. Like he's that kind of a player. He's a guy later in his career. He had a good average, good OPS, all that. Maybe even throw two with an option. Now his power in run production just plummeted. It did. And I wondered how much of that, Chicago was a mess this year. They had a ton of injuries. And I wondered about a Breyu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is he a guy that just lost interest because of what happened there this season? You can see how that could happen for a veteran. But they were just a train wreck from jump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he wasn't a motivated bat. Put him in this Cleveland lineup where he's surrounded by young, energetic, exciting players. It may re-energize his career and it might be one of those things where it's good for, a scene change is good for him to come to a team like this. I wouldn't love to get him ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It reminds me of 17, where this club is. I know they didn't make the deep run this year like the Indians did in 16.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I hope they do that at least with Bieber because if they, if they move Bieber in the off season, they're going to lose a lot of fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't screw it up and start letting key pieces like Bieber go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know you'll lose them instantly. And that's why, attendance wise, that's why they are where they are. Because wash, rinse, repeat. Get star, lose star. Get star, lose star. It's time they start retaining some of them. And I know it's unrealistic to think they can resign Bieber to five year after he's up here. Yeah, that's not happening. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uh, we're gonna hold final thoughts for our overtime content, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What stood out to me from that? What was the first tweet from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tequila Mockingbird. That's like one of the great Twitter handles of all time. Tequila Mockingbird. In the chat all the time. Nice, very nice Tequila, well done. Yeaah, I think Murphy is the guy. I hope they go out and make that move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm too excited about him to put him in. I agree. And I think there's enough, to Bull's point, there's enough talent that you could package three players. You can't. And move them. Because if I'm Oakland, I want, I need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's gonna do it. We're gonna wrap up the week tomorrow with our Friday edition of the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. We'll be giving our Browns Dolphins picks. Anything else you want to plug for tomorrow's show?

[Assistant] In some cases, wives were raped after their husbands had been murdered. Victims were robbed, survivors forced to swear to Satan, and sometimes pentagrams, symbols of devil worship, were left behind, scrawled as our bodies. Fear spread throughout Southern California as the death toll reached 13.

[Assistant] In court, Ramirez was defiant. A guard said Ramirez posted pictures of a victim in his jail cell, declaring, there is blood behind the night stalker.

[Assistant] Uh, those guys kind of take off, but they don't realize that the other team across from them are playing like it's a Super Bowl. So, you know, like mentally, if you're not prepared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and so these guys are competitive, uh, but the reason that Ohio State wins is because it's harder for Northwestern to hold it together for four quarters. Right. Than it is for Ohio State to just put it together for a series or two. And so, uh, I just.

[Assistant] And when I was talking to him, man, they treat college like free agency now. And he was talking about guys who like, you know, running backs who are splitting time at other schools and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, those things are, are definitely factors and you'll see more, more people who, who, uh, crowd their booster teams or whoever those people are. They call it like, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The same windows that you're used to practicing with and the same timing that you're used to practicing with, all that stuff is disrupted now. The downside is that sometimes people are out of place and you catch a ball short and you run long.
