[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The if exes and the then exes part, that just remained where it was. But, but by switching the order, we also had to add in two knots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm claiming that this is the contrapositive of what I had previously, and it says that if it's not a quadrilateral, then it's not a rectangle. And that's logically equivalent to saying if it's a rectangle, then it has to be a quadrilateral.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the logical structure here in its counter positive form is gonna look like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is mandatory that I have my shape being a quadrilateral. If I ever hope to have it being a rectangle, I have to have it being a quadrilateral. Or another way of saying it is that it is necessary


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for the quadrilateral case, it was necessary that we had this. So sufficient that we had a square, but didn't need it to be a square.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, squares and rectangles and quadrilaterals here, this is just my specific example, we can make the more general case by having a nested chain, one property implies the B of X, the B of X implies a third property, C of X. And that anything that has this relationship, if we're interested in concluding the middle thing,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The former one is going to be the sufficient condition, and the latter one is going to be the necessary one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But suppose my goal is not to deduce the b of x, suppose my goal is to deduce the a of x, then I could say that the b of x was a necessary condition for the a of x. In other words, if I want to get the a of x, I have to have the b of x, that's necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if I want to get the b of x, it's just sufficient for me to have the a of x.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a specific example with our squares and rectangles again, the first we've seen already, a square is a sufficient condition to be a rectangle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember these experiences, they gag, they are nauseous, they, their entire body remembers what it was like to be there, to see this, to participate in this, to have this done to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each sequence is drawn by a specific person and I think the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pictures illustrate the kinds of things we're talking about. Uh, the pictures are also drawn by the patient as they try to remember and try to recall what's happened. So drawing becomes a very important part of getting out and being able to firm up the puzzle that they're trying to put together. So they draw these pictures as a part of their recovery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see here, there are certain steps that are followed. It's not a random kind of, uh, thing that, uh, they, they carry out on a whim. There are specific steps that they follow in preparing a small child to be initiated into the cult.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have to do this in this case because the child has been chosen. Oftentimes a baby is chosen for some reason to be the next leader of the clan. In this case, uh, there was a boy who was chosen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who is now grown up, now she's an adult, she has a son, she's preparing him. You can see the elements he's considered special and it's the, it's the combination, the introduction of pleasure and pain. Here you can see that she is introducing pleasure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the same time, while she's doing that, she's putting things, objects, uh, maybe a pencil, maybe a heated nail, or some other object that would create pain in him at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, there's a part of her that said, I don't want to say this, I don't want to admit it. There's another part of her that says, yes, it's the truth, I have done it. How could I? I'm so bad, I'm so evil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, uh, a typical kind of ritual, uh, which involves the kidnapping of children. And, uh, in this case,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see this ritual ceremony took place in a barn. Here are the bales of hay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an old barn. And in this case you can see the cauldron, the boiling cauldron, the altar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The gold knives, all the elements are here. The robed members of the cult. Uh, in this case the victim is a child, four or five years old. And, uh, the, the cult victim who drew this picture was still a child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the sacrificial victims were, in this case two, a brother and a sister who had been kidnapped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, they had been seduced and at this point she reports that they weren't really scared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've probably been taken off of a playground somewhere and said we're gonna go have a birthday party or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they weren't scared. They're brought in ages, uh, about seven. You can see the cult leader here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's reporting and she's remembering that they made her do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how bad she feels about it. But she can't help it. She's four. These are adults. She's a victim in this process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as this ritual proceeds, you can see that there begins to be a lot of blood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you can see that the boy here is then cut open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, along his chest, ripped apart, his organs taken out and then he's dismembered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can also notice that the little girl has lots of little cuts and she's bleeding pretty profusely here from her groin area. So there's beginning to be a lot of screaming, a lot of blood, dismemberment and preparation for the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cannibalism. You can also pick up in this drawing the worship nature of this. This is not just an event, this is a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A worship service that builds to a frenzy, builds up to a peak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this, of course is, as this person wrote here, preparation for the human stoop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, the brother is dismembered, he's already gone, he's in the stew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the, the child, uh, member of the, the cult, then herself is, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the sexual abuse that always precedes the bloodletting. The members of the cult all sexually abuse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, pornography, of course, is an addiction and pornography is sexual stimulation. It stimulates the same...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of the brain, the pleasure center that cocaine stimulates. It's addictive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfettered expression of sexual fantasy is a part of all of this. Absolutely not. Anything goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you know, the satanic theology is the reverse of Christian theology. Love is bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Life is bad, hate is good, death is good. So there's the kind of the breaking down of any limits on fantasy and imagination, and what the theology of Satanism does is, uh, says, no holds barred, and evil is expressed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we've seen a real spiritual sensitivity with these people. Uh, they know there's a spirit world. They're very sensitive to that. And they, because they're with us, they've committed themselves to uh, to healing and uh, a change in their life. It's a long, torturous,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These people are in every strat of society. We're talking doctors, we're talking lawyers, we're talking a lot of Christian ministers who preach a sermon perhaps on Sunday morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And are involved in satanic rituals the night before. We're talking elders and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Sunday School Superintendents, I'm mentioning the cases that I am aware of, uh, and as you've


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Study this yourself and read the literature, you know that people at every level, in every profession, uh, successful business people, uh, psychologists, doctors, law enforcement people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, are involved in this kind of thing. It's uh, it's unnerving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's hope for me, there's hope for everyone. I don't care what the situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there's a guide and because there's a cross, there's hope. And that's not a second-handed, uh, hope. I had a choice to make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It took the jury 22 days to find Richard Ramirez guilty of all 13 murders and 30 related felonies he was charged with. Ramirez declined to be present for the verdict. Thus ended the year-long trial of the Texas drifter accused of being the night stalker, the serial killer who once terrorized Southern California.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All but one of the brutal murders took place in the summer of 85. The killer was dubbed the Night Stalker because he broke into his victim's homes and attacked them while they slept. Shooting, stabbing, beating them to death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[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.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Step right up, people. Examine. Observe. You there. Who are you? Let me see your peddler's card. Here, Captain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jakov Guri, an honest professional man from Pribych. I have testimonials from the Emperor himself. I will prove... Never mind. What about your friend there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's mine now. I know, but I caught it. I took it. When you bled a little more about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Read it. Uh, it says, uh, dear sir, it says to whom it may concern. That's right, I was testing you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the jail. Well, I've had new locks fitted to all the cells. Burnt the rubbish. I even have a prisoner. Good. Who is he? Oh, I don't know. Just a tramp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I buy back the organ, you present to the town, and we expose these rascals. May I become a wondering gypsy if I'm not telling the truth?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you are a wandering gypsy. That proves I'm telling the truth. Now to work, Georgie. The most important thing is that you make them understand that you know how crooked they are. They'll shower you with gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, 35,000 crowns, Yakov. You think they'll give it to me just like that? They'll give you more. Never fails. It's even easier when you're an Inspector General. But I don't know how to be an Inspector General. Oh, that's very simple. You have to behave like one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You heard something. May I speak to you for a moment? Yes, of course. Privately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] P.S. Please meet me in the barn at midnight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, young man. Uh, probably the eyes, honor colonel. Yes, yes. I was snow blinded in the Alps in the Italian campaign with His Majesty the Emperor. The Emperor. Long life to His Imperial Majesty the Emperor. Oh. Oh, I'm general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like you all to know that the corruption in this city is at an end. I want a complete and honest report from you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andy, look, corn on the cob. Well, I thought you could only get that back home. I'll have a double order.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This place is attacked. Now, Auntie, it's not going to be attacked in the next hour and a half. So let's make the best of it. See you Hong Kong while we name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I told Inspector Bray that you'd made him the villain, he was bound and determined to get even.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the best interests of the empire, the news of the captain's death must be kept out of the papers. Lieutenant McNeil Fraser?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ramsey, follow the lieutenant. See that he gets safely to barracks without being molested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. They don't think he's in the Secret Service. Come on, clear out and give the police a chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've adopted an air of superiority ever since you were assigned to this investigation. I resent it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll take a look at the body. Come along, all of you. You come too, young lady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Poor old chap. Well, may as well fetch the coroner. Coroner? This is a most serious business. It may involve us in international complications. Just when did you write this letter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inspector Brace there. I have looked around as the inspector has ordered. Well? The man is truly dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Below what we expected. Except for maybe Martin Emerson. There have been games where the defense has completely let them down. There's been games where the special teams have let them down. There's been times Kevin Siefanski's let them down. There's been times Jacoby Brissett's let them down. There's plenty of blame to go around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what it is. J, do you agree with that? I've thought that all along. Yeah, you did. So we've, we've more or less said that all. And to your point, G, I wrote about this when the trade first went down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, listen, 230 million guaranteed, let's be honest, that had a lot to do with why Deshaun came here, right? But he was going to get paid no matter where he went. So I do think people overblow that a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe one of the big reasons, and this is also why I think Kevin is not in any trouble right now, one of the big reasons Deshawn came here is because Kevin sat with Deshawn for 45 minutes in Rusty Harden's office and they chopped it up over film and X's and O's and Kevin showed him, this is what you did in Houston, this is how we did it, this is how we can use you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was a huge selling point in Deshaun coming here. Yes, the 230 was as well, but the fact that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kevin showed him, this is how we're going to use you, this is how we're going to deploy you, and it's all those things you just talked about. They're not going to blow that up. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, and that's what I'm saying. Like, if Kevin was one of the big reasons that was a draw for Deshaun to come here, why would you get rid of this guy before you even see what you are? You can't. It's just nonsense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Monday night, which is always possible, right? We've seen plenty of them already, but I tend to side with bull. I just don't think that they're going to react emotionally and I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hear what Brad says and I agree with what he says. Sometimes he's got to cut a head off just to cut a head off just to get their attention. But I don't know what changing a coordinator at this stage of the season, I don't know what that accomplishes. Other than sending a message. Right. Yes. And maybe that's good enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or he needed to stay out of the bars. Okay, that too. That's what it'd be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no question. One more point I want to make on the, on Prefer before we move on. I don't understand why


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Ravens spend more money than any team in the league on special teams. They invest more. They don't have just a special teams coach. They have like a kicking instructor for Justin Tucker. Why don't more teams


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was talking to Phil Dawson about that a year or two ago and Phil was the one that kind of turned me on to this about how much Baltimore invests in special teams, I mean their coach was a special teams coach, and now they have the best in the league and it's not even close. Well let's hire Phil Dawson as our kicking coach and bring him in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's interesting? I was talking to Cade a week or so ago, just about the swirling wins and everything, and he said like, the third quarter, the first quarter, it's completely different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead, explain why you're a 5. I can't believe I'm the highest at 5. I'm like right in the middle. Yea, right. 50 is an F. Normally, I got a pretty good feeling one way or the other. I have no idea what to make on Monday night. I have no idea what to expect. That's kind of the NFL right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought they would, I actually thought that they would beat San Diego. I keep calling them San Diego. The Chargers, I really thought they were going to win that game. They probably should have won that game. And now to the point where like, man, I just can't believe this team would be two and six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's hard for me to see a path to winning, but I can't believe they're gonna be two and six. Like there's more talent to be two and six, so that's why I'm just right in the middle of five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I've got some names, but not confirmed to the point to share, but defensive guys. Would it be the ones that we might think of? Probably, probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Ravens got, the Ravens defense was coming right up the middle on the Browns and you haven't seen that very often. I think Posich was kind of helping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The teller void. And I just saw a couple plays where it seemed like he was trying to double. Right. And help the new right guard. And I think it left leaks in the middle. And you saw, you saw the Ravens taking advantage of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Robert Maurice was just talking about, uh, something that kinda got my attention about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of being the antithesis in the locker room or that guy that sort of pushes back a little bit. And I remember Kobe talking about that when he was his last trip into Cleveland when he was still playing and he thought Kyrie was sort of that guy on the Cavs. Draymond is that guy on Golden State. I'm using basketball references, but it applies to football. Have you played with guys like that in your career, guys who sort of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep everyone on edge and challenge the, challenge the rules a little bit. And I don't know how closely of a tension you played close to the Browns. Do they have that guy at all anywhere on the roster do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Didi, I've actually used him, Derek Henry, as an example of, cause it looked to me like the tread was starting to come off the tires a little bit earlier in the season and hey, the Browns I think are doing this so that that doesn't happen to them. What's the Titans philosophy with him? Just run him and then when there's no tread left, we're gonna go find another Derek Henry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I said earlier this week, like, maybe that is the answer. Just run Nick Chubb until he can't run anymore and then you're gonna go find your own forward, you're gonna go find another back and plug him in and go. That's been the way. I mean look, Mike Conlin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's how they drew this up, actually, was have the lead in the fourth quarter and give it to them and let them put it away. They can't get the lead. That's the problem. They can't get the lead in the fourth quarter. They're always playing from behind. The Jets game, they had a nice lead. They did have a lead in the Jets game. And Atlanta, they had


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, this is why we had the conversation before the season. I know. Why you would trade Kareem before the season because of this exact scenario that they're struggling, you know, with Nick Chubbs, your bell cow, you could probably get more in value for Kareem than he gives you on the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've been a bad team, but they won. They have so many ways they can beat you. Whether it's a style of play or whether it's personnel, Mobley stepping up, Jared Allen stepping up, Kevin Love's gonna have big games where he carries them down the stretch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe that. The Cavs have analytics that show that he is their most valuable player. At least that was the case before Donovan, before the Donovan trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But before Mitchell got here, they, because I think when you, when you talk about their big three, Jared always seems to fall third on that list. Hello, Darius and Mobley. That was the, and I even put him there too. And the Cavs always say, isn't he one of those glue guys that just holds it all together?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably not. When they made that trade, I was like, alright, he's a good player. I thought the same thing. He's gonna want to get paid, like, see if he's worth it or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. Cause I don't think they could have expected what they've got. I think they knew, like they had their eye on him for a while, they wanted him for a while, they pursued him for a while. I think he's been even better. They stole him. I know they did. For a first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'll tell you what, I'm actually turning on that. I think you can play him against pretty much anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure that like if you play golden state and other finals or whatever, you can play them. He can play in that series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He won't shoot. Like every time I watch him, he catches the corner and it's, it's, he's getting rid of it. He's doing nothing out there. I know. It's, it's, it's, I thought really that maybe they could get something because there's so much talent around him. Right. The floor would open up for him and there'd be opportunities for him, but so far it's early.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had the opportunity. He had the opportunity. Yes, it was there. He could have come back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I go back to the conversation we had in New Orleans his last year here, where he just, you can go back and find it, we all wrote about it, he just burned the organization to the ground, and was saying they were top heavy, and this was Griff's final year, so his second last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was getting ready to walk out of the locker room, he's fixing his shirt, and he said it would be different if I wasn't still in championship mode, but I'm still playing at an incredibly high level. And ever since that night, I've always thought, so when are you no longer in championship mode? And it's here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was going to talk about this the other night and I meant to send you guys a video so you could play it. Maybe you guys discussed on the show already. The incident that happened in the NFL game after Tampa Bay lost where Mike Evans seemed to be approached by two referees to get autographs. Guys, this is really bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the NFL just did what the NFL does and said, nope, nothing to see here. Move along without providing any sort of explanation of what was going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got their names here. Side, uh, line judge Tripp Sutter and side judge Jeff Lamberth. Veteran officials. Yeaah. And they sort of like chased down Mike Evans in the tunnel after the game and it sure looked like they were getting autographs from him. Guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I cannot stress to you how awful of a look this is. We're not allowed to do that. As media, like, it's right on the credentials. If you approach anyone for an autograph, your credentials are revoked. Period. Like, you don't, I've been doing this 20 years, Jay, you've been doing it longer than me. I've never once in my entire career approached a player


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you just, that's just, that is the number one no-no or one of the top no-no's. And for officials to be, even have that sort of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just projection about them. It's a really bad look for the NFL. It'll probably go away quickly. I've never, I've stood in tunnels after games before just to try and catch any sort of interaction with players or guys or what their reaction is. There you go. You guys have it. You're better than me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an awful look. Even if, even if that's what it is, get it afterwards. Like, get it after guys are in the locker room. I think the NFL is lucky the Bucs lost this game because if the Bucs had won, I think it looks even worse. It's not good. And listen, I'm not going to go as far as Tim Donaghy and everything with the NBA and everything that they went through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's a really, really, really bad look for the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've been on my conscience all during the sermon. And I fear that our acquaintanceship must cease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I should say you're probably a surveyor or a railroad agent. A newspaper man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps sooner, who knows. It's always the unexpected that happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought I could face anything, but see a human life snuffed out. It's dreadful. My hands are still trembling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm not content with just a living, I, I want a life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's a mistake. That's what I thought too, but I'll need some more bandage. I'll get it in my room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Marshall, you still think I can go anywhere?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, perhaps that's because I understand how people feel and why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I do. I've always gone to church and I like to sing there too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boat Hill. Yes, of course, you mentioned it in your editorial. Why, you'd do so well as a newspaper man, Bat. Why don't you go east and try it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day, why not now? Look, if it's just a matter of money, why I...

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what chance will you have to see it? You'll be here on Boothill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, and there's your place next to him, waiting for you. Bet you won't have a chance when Kennedy's men get to town. They've killed sheriffs and marshals wherever they've been.

[Assistant] I'd rather you didn't, uncle. If I remember correctly, it reached me in Paris and I was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, turned out it wasn't good enough for opera after all. Do you mind if I sit down?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then write the letter now. At once. That's what's important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because this man is a peace officer. A target for every desperado in Dodge City. And I want him out of it before he's killed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our interest has been aroused by a recent editorial, a woman of the town will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. No, that isn't your imagination. Neither yours nor Daisy Davenport's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On your account, I was afraid if you didn't hang them up, he might kill you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you might at least tell me you care for me before you ask me a question like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, King, I, I will marry you, but not now, not today, in, in two months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I have a contract with Don Kelly till then. He's been good to me. I can't run out on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want to kill him. Don't you see what this is doing to you? You want to kill!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I lied about, King. I don't love him. I love you. It's true, I swear it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't risk your life again. Take me away with you now, tonight. Don't you believe me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will on one condition, that you never again show your face in Kansas City. If this man comes here, he comes alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I couldn't agree more. I think, uh, you know, Maurice and Coach Trussell coming in, you know, kind of certainly changed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The direction of the program and you know, I love John Cooper and I think he did great things, but you know, sometimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, you have to pull the greatness out of players. You have to be able to develop players. It isn't just the number of four and five star recruits you get. It's how you develop those players. And more importantly, I think how those players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know who that guy is in the locker room. You know, it's not always, uh, you know, the quarterback. It's not always, you know, just the, uh, top linebacker, not the guy, just the green dot, the guy receiving plays. I mean, uh, you know, maybe it's a guy like Myles Garrett.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, that apparently, uh, you know, he, he's a, can, can be a quiet guy at times, but sometimes those guys are, are guys leading by example, just showing with tempo, not just on game day, but during the course of the week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, don't, uh, don't forget about Jake Reed. Jake Reed was cold. It was unfair and I remember on, on draft day, you know, in,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go back a little bit on Brian. When I was a rookie, Jack Burns was the offensive coordinator for like the first two or three games and got fired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody's going to have a voice and it's not just one guy saying what it is that we should be doing. It is a collaborative effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns and what they have faced over the year and all the different, uh, quarterbacks and coordinators. We had a lot of change too, but I think what stayed consistent


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And first of all, I'm like my favorite all time artist. Not even, I mean, it's, it's really not even close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this summer, so it was the first time that I had actually gone there. And, like, he was a big Vikings fan and, you know, made videos and all that kind of stuff, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or him making pancakes, you know, like, uh, yeah, I never stuck around just for that reason, so I never did end up meeting him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First two games this year, gave up seven sacks and then six sacks and they've been pretty good since then. Now they did give up three sacks a week ago, but I think the number of times that they threw combined with the amount of pressure


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially if you sit back in zones all day long and Joe Burrow has time. It's, it's good night. So you, you better hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a team in, in, uh, in Atlanta. They beat the 49ers the week before, right? Like they were no joke. Their run game has been good. And you know, I thought the past game was starting to get going with Marcus Mariota and the talent that he has, but the defense for, for the Bengals, it's much better than people know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well again, I think the defensive side of the ball is going to be a real challenge. Look at what Penn State was able to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I usually sing a song at the round table. My nights think it's hilarious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, the donkey kicked the king, ha ha. The donkey kicked the king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was there and I know where the donkey kicked the king, ho ho.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did he kick him in the palace? No, no, no. Did he kick him in the garden? No, no, no. He kicked him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is where my nights always scream with laughter. As a matter of fact, they laugh so much that I never get any further.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's no use. He'll only sneer at your noble efforts as he sneered at mine. He's not our kind, Francesca.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You devoted good woman. Oh, I know I shouldn't let you go, I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a deep thought. It's deep, Francesca. Very deep. Oh, I shouldn't let you go. I really shouldn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you don't know him, and you don't know her. If she talks to him the way she sometimes talks to me, he's going to kill her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have the honor to general manage for your brother, Senor Crawford. His piston rings in South America. I would wish you to want to know my sales manager, Senor Rufino. I'm so very much delightful to meet you. My assistant, Senor Valerga. The pleasure. She's all mine, Senorita.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For your connivance while you are here, we have provided the automobile and the chauffeur equipped of course with Crawford's piston rigs. And now if we will come with you, you can escort me to the hotel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To any horse, I'm okay. But the chiquita, they say I'm so, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great, so should we each say something about our part in this project?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seduced inside the NXIVM cult and, uh, I just want to say, Laura, we are so grateful that you're here to moderate this and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, your work, the bravery, the courage that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way you embrace your characters and the complicated sides and the difficult ones, the ones that aren't so pretty and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, you know, to bring the truth out so that people can relate. And so I just thank you for being so inspiring to me. And Inbal, will you introduce yourself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We knew a lot about nexium. We hadn't spoken to anyone who was in DOS, you know, who had spent as much time as India had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At STARS, we got greenlit under the previous administration, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, then our, our new exec, Alice Dickens-Cobeland, came in. Her first day on the job was our, our green light meeting, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To help tell the story and, uh, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's kind of my start and then Inbal, do you want to say how you joined in in India too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, you know, those two weren't speaking and so when, at the beginning when we were asking India


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when India and Kelly and Deb and Tabby and Naomi were invited to speak to law students, uhm, in Arizona,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, in the UK you can get a degree, a master's degree in course of control, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, you know, just a little more about our partnership between the three of us. Uhm, first of all, you know, with Inbal, I feel so lucky that she's able to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, join me on the set so we can make decisions together about what, what shots are needed and what we, based on what footage we've looked at, what we still need to get. I mean, I think,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I maybe go more toward the, you know, the emotional moments or really following the characters, even if it's doesn't move the story forward and involves instincts are always with story. I mean, we share so many sensibilities, but we have this great balance between us. I think that, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, I think someone like India who's been through such trauma, who has the courage to come forward and make a documentary should absolutely have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think we just kind of followed our intuition that the story needed to be told and it ended up


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of something larger, I think to our times and sometimes


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, documentaries can do that. And while we were on the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think, like you said, like Bill Maher said, we just, we must try to embrace and understand and not judge and, you know, what was so nefarious about nexium and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just need to give them support and the time to, to heal and regain their critical thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trying to hold that space for them that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, allowed them to come forward with their incredible courage and talk about how vulnerable the human mind is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some twelve year olds are grown up enough to have sex with adults and in ancient Rome, uh, six year olds were, had sexual apprenticeships with grown ups and so, you know, we were looking at


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, I guess with trust, I just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, when you have a good working dynamic and it's so creative and the result is good, you wanna stay with your partners who you trust, you work with your beloved same group over and over, right Laura? Yeaah. You also produced an incredible film this year, the way I see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That White House photographer related to his subjects, that was an inspiration for us making this, you know, making sure that you make an emotional connection when, when you edit a scene, uhm, and that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not really, only $65 plus freight. Would you like to hear it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 8 From Distant Lands Luang Por in the Western Sangha


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, by renouncing a lesser happiness, one may realize a greater happiness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let the wise renounce the lesser, having regard for the greater. Dhammapada verse 290


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's an author's note here on the use of the term Western Sangha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be more accurate to use the word non-Thai or foreign sangha here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A small number of Asian monks, mainly Japanese and Chinese, trained at Wat Pa Pong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the vast majority of the foreign monks have been from the West, and the Thai word used to refer to the non-Tais, farang, is one specifically coined for Caucasians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For this reason and for ease of usage, I have chosen to use the term Western Sangha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the mid-14th century until it sank by the Burmese in 1767, Ayutthaya was the capital of the Thai nation. Established on an island in the Jaupriya River,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was ideally situated to act as an entrepôt port, at a time when land routes were safer than sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And merchants in the Orient sought to avoid sending their goods through the Straits of Malacca.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Within 200 years, Ayutthaya had become one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Asia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its population of approximately a million people exceeded that of London. Some 500 temples, many with pagodas covered in gold leaf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lend the city a magical, heaven-like aura that dazzle visitors from other lands. By the mid-17th century.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With communities of traders from France, Holland, Portugal and England housed outside the city wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The kings of Ayutthaya often employed foreign mercenaries as bodyguards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the Thais, these strange white beings seem to resemble a species of ogre. Hairy, ill-smelling, quarrelsome and coarse, lovers of meat and strong spirits, but possessors of admirable technical skills, particularly in the arts of war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Priests and monks accompanied them, but it did not appeal to the Thais who were content with their own traditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Buddhists, they were accustomed to equating spirituality with the renunciation of sensual pleasures. They found the Western clergy worldly and hypocritical, undignified in their rivalries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Ayutthayaan Thais gently rebuffed what they saw as an alien faith with politeness and smiles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the legendary Siamese tolerance was stretched to the limit during the reign of King Narai, 1656-88, when a charismatic Greek adventurer, Constantine Falcon,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rose to become the closest advisor to the King, who appointed him Mahatthai, Minister for Trade and Foreign Affairs, second in power and influence only to the King himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After his conversion to Catholicism, it is alleged that Falkorne became involved with the French in plots to put a Christian prince on the throne, and thus win the whole country for God and Louis XIV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At King Narai's death in 1688, however, conservative forces prevailed. French hopes were dashed, and Falkorne was executed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the next 150 years, the Siamese looked on Westerners with fear, aversion, and suspicion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as French and British power and prestige spread throughout the region in the 19th century, the image of the Westerner changed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He came to represent authority and modernity, the new world order that had to be accommodated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As all the rest of the region fell into European hands, Siamese independence became increasingly fragile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Believed that the only way for a small country to survive in the colonial era was by earning the respect of the western powers through becoming more like them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To that end, he began to reverse policies of previous monarchs and cultivate friendships with Western scholars and missionaries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He introduced western styles of dress in uniform. He predicted eclipses by scientific means, undermining the hitherto unshakable prestige of the astrologers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also sought to reform popular Buddhism along more rational scientific lines to protect it from the missionary's disdain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After King Mongkut's death, his son King Julalongkorn, 1868-1910, carried on his father's policies and sought to create a modern, centralized state and administration, relying heavily on Western expertise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Members of the royal family and aristocracy were sent to study in the West, particularly to England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The French humiliated the Thais by annexing their eastern territories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To many, this confirmed the West's unquestioning superiority in all things worldly. By the time Luang Por reached manhood,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wealthy Thai elite had become enamored with the material symbols of Western culture. Expensive imported clothes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Motor vehicles. Gadgets and foods with a sought after status symbols.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The absolute monarchy was overthrown in 1932 in favor of a western-style democracy that was soon displaced by a more potent import, military dictatorship. Fascism was the new vogue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Far more appealing to the military men running the country than the messiness of political debate. The country's name was changed to Thailand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chauvinism was promoted in the guise of patriotism. Cultural mandates accompanied political change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Field Marshal Pibunsong Kram passed laws making it compulsory for men to wear hats and kiss their wives on the cheek before leaving for work in the morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A marginalization of Buddhist goals and ideals, coinciding with official support for Buddhist forms and rituals, became a feature of development that was to become an enduring trait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the hamlets of Ubon, images of the West came from Hollywood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Traveling movie companies set up their screens and loudspeakers in village monasteries, where Clark Gable and Greta Garbo enchanted their audiences in homely lao, dubbed live in front of the screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus, the first flesh-and-blood glimpse of Farang in Ubon, exciting though it was, came as a shock. During the Second World War,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While the newly ordained Luang Por was studying in local village monasteries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A group of gaunt and ragged POWs was jailed in the center of town. They were prisoners of the local Japanese garrison, hostages against Allied bombing raids. The local people smuggled them bananas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ubon, closer to Hanoi than Bangkok, attained a strategic importance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the end of the decade, 20,000 young Americans were stationed on a sprawling airbase north of the town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Large uniformed men, black, brown and white, strode along the streets, hand in hand with miniskirted prostitutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They caroused in tacky night clubs with names like Playboy and sought to escape the stress of their lives with Buddha sticks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Overhead, at regular intervals, came the deafening sound of Phantom fighters and A-130 airships taking off on missions over Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] American military personnel were not, however, the only young Westerners in Thailand at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was during this period that villagers working in the fields to the east of Wat Pa Pong became used to a strange new site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tall, fair-skinned young men with scruffy hair and dressed in t-shirts and faded blue jeans would often be seen walking along the ox track with a dogged, loping stride and a large, grubby backpack like a malignant growth behind them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These young men were the first trickles of the steady stream of Westerners who were finding their way to Luangpor Cha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were to become the senior members of a Western Sangha, which now, more than 40 years later, numbers almost 200 monks and nuns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was one of the most common questions that Lung Po faced from the early 1970s onwards, as the number of his Western disciples steadily increased.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would explain that he was teaching Buddhism not as a philosophy, but as a way of liberation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pointing directly to the experience of suffering, its cause and the way leading to its cessation were more important than finding words to describe the process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, to clarify this point, he would pour water from the thermos flask on the table before him into a cup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But these are just names. Dip your finger in it. And no language can really pass on what that actually feels like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the same way, people of every nationality know the feeling for themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On another occasion, a visitor seeing all the foreign monks asked Luang Por whether he spoke English or French or German or Japanese.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To which, in every case, he replied that no, he could not. The questioner looked confused. How did the foreign monks learn anything then? Characteristically, Luang Por replied with a question. Do you keep any animals at home? Have you got any cats and dogs? Any oxen or buffalo? Yes? Well, can you speak cat language? Can you speak dog? Can you speak buffalo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No? Then how do they know what you want them to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Training the Westerners is like training water buffalo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you just keep tugging the rope, they soon catch on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Thais, the water buffalo is the epitome of dullness and stupidity. Comparing a human being to a buffalo would normally be considered offensive. Anyone who calls someone quai to their face is either showing contempt or is spoiling for a fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given the exaggerated respect for the intelligence of Westerners common in Thailand, Luang Por's audiences would always find his buffalo comparison both shocking and hilarious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At a time when Western technology, material advances and expertise were being so touted by the powers that be, here were to be found educated young men who had voluntarily renounced the good things of life that people were being encouraged to aspire to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These were men who had chosen to live austere lives in the forest as monks, not understanding the language, eating coarse food, striving for peace and wisdom in the same way that Thai monks had been doing for hundreds of years. It was baffling, fascinating, and above all else, inspiring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many visitors would leave Wat Ba Pong thinking that perhaps there was more to Buddhism than they had supposed. If the Westerners had so much faith in it, how could it be outdated?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lungpo's basic technique was not, he insisted, particularly mysterious. He led his Western disciples. He showed them what to do. He was an example. It wasn't necessary to impart a great deal of information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though I have a lot of Western disciples living with me, I don't give them so much formal instruction. I lead them in the practice. Good actions yield good results, and bad actions yield bad results. I give them the opportunity to see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they practice sincerely, they get good results. And so they develop conviction in what they're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't just come here to read books, they really do the practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They abandon whatever is bad in their hearts, and goodness appears in its place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Westerners had come to Buddhist teachings and monastic life without the cultural conditioning of the Thais. In one sense, they had beginner's mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As students, they were largely free of the complacency that he considered such an obstacle for his Thai disciples.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the other hand, their need for explanations could make them susceptible to crippling doubts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, questions led only to more and more questions, diminishing the intensity of their practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Westerners often came to envy the single-minded application of their fellow Thai monks, who seemed blessed with unquestioning faith in the teacher and the tradition. Luang Por said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These Westerners can see clearly how they've done it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in the beginning, it's a bit wearing on the teacher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wherever they are, whoever they're with, they ask questions all the time. Well, if they don't know the answers, then why not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have to keep asking until they run out of questions, until there's nothing more to ask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otherwise, they just keep running. They're hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Father Divine became God to millions, both black and white.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the followers of his international kingdom of peace movement, he was the second coming of Christ, but to non-believers he was a mystery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His followers insist that Father Divine never personally profited from the movement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he had in fact never exploited the so-called God game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very well. You shall have your paltry pennies. And now you greedy and polite louts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think I'll be happy around here any longer, Mike. You see, it's a question of loyalty. And I'm too old to get them all mixed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are your plans, Jimmy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look here, if anything happens to that girl, I'm going to run you through without even sharpening the point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No man has to do what he doesn't wanna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you've left no room for the half man, half slave. I don't get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Calling the Tobruk Garrison. I am now handing over to your well-known English commentator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] JM. So the front door is open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gonna walk up on me? First and first and foremost, we around people. You gonna walk up on me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And be like, what's up? Now, you pull up on me and then you punch me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The principle is, I'm, like, your mom, my mom would have told me, hey, you gonna go to school, you gonna find that boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gon' fight him every single day until you win. Ain't no, I don't care if he say Barry the hatchet, nothing. You gotta die. Like, no. Wait, that's Mama G Bush's rule? That's what your mama do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like we don't do no, like first of all, that's your teammate, right? We might tussle around, right? Like we might tussle and push and stuff. I might, I done that plenty of times, but when you throw hands and you hit somebody, that means they really know coming back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't take, I don't take random, I don't take random, uh, threats or acts of violence against people. I don't like that. Actually be truthful. But I'm not, I'm not gonna be a victim. Like you not gonna victim me and hit me. And I'm gonna, I'm supposed to let it rise. That's what I'm saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This alignment, uhm, is he, he's, he ain't not wrong with his legs. Not at all. But here's the problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This arm was down here like this because, A, I'm protecting that punch. You can punch and that thing lock up when you, plus you got the bicep on the same side. So it's like to me, if you can't use your hands,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the worst thing possible because you can't get off blocks. You can't, you can't extend and punch. You can't change the line of scrimmage. So he may play and he may be out there as a, you know, 50, 60%. But if he can't use his hands.

[Assistant] Just use, I don't know, use, use me, right? If I'm driving home, right, and I'm driving home from here, and I'm going faster than I'm supposed to be, it's a little slick, I have an accident or whatever, you know, I get done, you know what I'm saying, after I get healed up or whatever, I'm at a couple shows, Steve called me and said, hey man, I know you got in an accident, but we're gonna have to sit you down for about a month. And you're gonna say, a month for what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know 100% for sure that his family, cause I've spoken to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jay, there's one reason why the Browns will never, they ain't gonna say nothing to them or do anything, because the reality of this situation...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You already got John Watson exiled, right? So now you got Miles Garrett. Now you want, they, they want to suspend him or do give him discipline. I don't think the suspension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could still run and play man to man coverage. I'm playing off. And you can always use the opposite hand, like you just want to be in the vicinity, but when you a linebacker, your shoulder hurt or you a D lineman, that's every single. And it's both arms? Both arms, that's every single play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Miles Garrett plays, I give him about a 45% chance of winning. If he's not playing, it's down to 20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me tell you this, see, see, I've heard everybody talk


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the thing I got a problem with is I don't, you know, NFL is getting to the point where we didn't excuse ourselves all the way out the gate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First thing you hear is it's early. Second thing you hear is injuries. Second thing, we one play away. We just gotta clean this up. If you take away these two turnovers it makes, we would have blew them out. Bro, I'm tired of hearing that. Maybe you just not good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe the Cleveland Browns is not as good as we think they are. Cause you brought up a great point. If you can't do nothing defensively cause your defensive ends are out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got a problem, and it goes to roster construction. You've been trying to hide certain people forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your D-tackles ain't up to snub. So you think, cause I got Myles Garrett and Clowney out here, I can high Elliot and Taven Bryant. I can go cheap. I ain't gotta touch that. Oh, I got a Mark Cooper over here. I ain't gotta touch that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, you got the D-line looking terrible across the front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the Rams, to your point, the Rams did that last year. They went and got Von Miller. They went and got another pass rush, upgraded that, go get me Odell Beckham Jr. and they ended up winning. You need to bolster this in some way, shape or form.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how they want Sunday. I will say this in my prior life, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're watching, you know, I took my Series 7 when I passed. People thought you was a day trader. I ain't no day trader. I don't know nothing about that. But they always told me, I worked with a lot of smart investors. They surveyed the area, they surveyed the landscape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody is even. Everybody got the same record. Everybody is about two, three games. The smart team is going to recognize and see opportunity in this. Not to say, well, we two and two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They didn't block him three times and it gets Atlanta and he would be in the backfield and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'mma, listen, I'mma, I'mma have you turn your work into writing site. You know what I'm saying? I need you to turn it in dot com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Formerly of the MLDB network, he's with the NFL network, but we know his wheelhouse is Major League Baseball. I don't know how the hell they put him with me, but that is going to be lit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Matter of fact, shout out to Chris Rose. Earl is going to be in the building as well. We're going to hold this thing down. Bull, I don't know why you chose this week to dip up out of here. In our hearts, you will be on the live, but make sure you check that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, don't go ahead and hit that notification bell. Ultimately with sports show and it'll just pop up and we'll be ready to go. I'm looking forward because I've seen y'all work. Yes. Yep. Yep. So we won't be there on Sunday either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One, it would prove that they can do it a way different from other people. And it would be that validation. So then you couldn't say, I mean it makes everybody say, look,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't just say, you know what, we don't want to go because they cheap or we don't want to go because now they're validated. They won doing it their way. So it would be the biggest boost. I think the Cavs biggest reason why they want to win the ring is because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes people just strip the 2016 thing away because it's Lebron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They want to win desperately with the pieces they got and not be attached to Lebron forever. And then the Browns, I think it would be the biggest story if they won. If they won, the Browns would, I mean. They'd take it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, listen, they would have parades all around the world. I've never seen, it would be the party of all parties. But yet it is a little internal. I think they really go at each other and I think there is a race to see who can do it because to a lot of them,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a lot of them to see what, what, what way can we get there first? And, but they both, they all do it a different way. But all three teams to Brad's point, it's a great time to be alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just different. I was telling Jay this, when we was throwing out that first, he threw out the first pitch, I said, yo, it's, you know, it's different down here on that level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't really notice it. You know, if you played baseball before, there's nothing like the ambiance of stepping on a baseball field when it's done right. You're like, man, this is nostalgic. I was over here emotional. I'm like, man, this is crazy. I'm like, dog, I should...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should be out here more. I should be, I should be at more of these. And I'll give you this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playoff baseball, y'all gonna get a chance to see it up close and personal. Playoff baseball is something to watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's the crowd, every pitch counts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You hear people cheer after every pitch. If the umpire squeeze somebody and they think it's a strike, they booing immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone, every bass runner matter, and I think they do a good job on television of, of really framing just how intense it is. They do. Every single, every single. If you watch a regular series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got that one. This one is a little, yeaah. Look at that wrist. He had it like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My final take is, look man, we talked about it a little bit man, I'm super excited that the Guardians are in the playoffs. Playoffs mean a lot more man, I woke up this morning


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't know, I was charged up, I was ready to go, uhm, and it's because it's hard in every sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To win the grand prize. You get in, you get in the tournament, and you figure it out from there. Uhm, I thought, I think the Guardians played, and by the way, everyone says, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That who would have chose the Guardians to win 92 games?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy did. Rewind the tape, 92 on the dot. Nostradamus, G. Bush, aka G. Baby, the People's Champ. We did it, man. 92 wins. Let's see if the Guardians can get three more. Get to that second round. As long as we got Nostradamus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Send a note with it. So that means we can acknowledge you. We can say thank you for sending the Super Chat and we can also read it to all the other peers and people. So that's what you're paying for. You're paying for an opportunity to come interject and be a part of the show. So make it worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to, that's how it's done. Force man 47? Yea, it's so easy. Apparently he knows the game too. Right? That's a good contact. If you want to see the super chat, you can do so and we will read your comments on air. How about that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of all the problems which have been submitted to my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, for solution during the years of our intimacy, there were only two which I was the means of introducing to his notice. That of Mr. Hatherley's thumb, and that of Colonel Warburton's madness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of these the latter may have afforded a finer field for an acute and original observer, but the other was so strange in its inception, and so dramatic in its details, that it may be the more worthy of being placed upon record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if it gave my friend fewer openings for those deductive methods of reasoning by which he achieved such remarkable results.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The story has, I believe, been told more than once in the newspapers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like all such narratives, its effect is much less striking when set forth on block in a single half-column of print than when the fact slowly evolved before your own eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the lapse of two years has hardly served to weaken the effect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was in the summer of 89, not long after my marriage, that the events occurred, which I am now about to summarize. I had returned to civil practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And occasionally even persuaded him to forego his bohemian habits so far as to come and visit us. My practice had steadily increased.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as I happened to live at no very great distance from Paddington Station, I got a few patients from among the officials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of these whom I had cured of a painful lingering disease was never weary of advertising my virtues and of endeavouring to send me on every sufferer over whom he might have any influence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One morning, and a little before seven o'clock, I was awakened by the maid tapping at the door, to announce that two men had come from Paddington, and were waiting in the consulting room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dressed hurriedly, for I knew by experience that railway cases were seldom trivial and hastened downstairs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I descended my old ally, the guard, came out of the room and closed the door tightly behind him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got him here, he whispered, jerking his thumb over his shoulder. He's all right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is it, then?" I asked, for his manner suggested that it was some strange creature which he had caged up in my room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a new patient, he whispered. I thought I'd bring him round myself. Then he couldn't slip away. There he is, all safe and sound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I must go now doctor, I have my duties just the same as you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And off he went, this trusty tout, without even giving me time to thank him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I entered my consulting room and found a gentleman seated by the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was quietly dressed in a suit of heather tweed with soft cloth cap, which he had laid down upon my books. Round one of his hands he had a handkerchief wrapped, which was mottled all over with bloodstains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was young, not more than five and twenty, I should say, with a strong masculine face. But he was exceedingly pale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And gave me the impression of a man who was suffering from some strong agitation, which it took all his strength of mind to control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am sorry to knock you up so early, Doctor, said he, but I've had a very serious accident during the night. I came in by train this morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And on inquiring at Paddington as to where I might find a doctor, a worthy fellow very kindly escorted me here. I gave the maid a card, but I see that she has left it upon the side table. I took it up and glanced at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was the name, style, and abode of my morning visitor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I regret that I have kept you waiting, said I, sitting down in my library chair. You are fresh from a night journey, I understand, which is in itself a monotonous occupation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, my knight could not be called Monotonous, said he and laughed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He laughed very heartily, with a high ringing note, leaning back in his chair and shaking his sides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All my medical instincts rose up against that laugh. Stop it, I cried. Pull yourself together. And I poured out some water from a carafe. It was useless, however.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was off in one of those hysterical outbursts which come upon a strong nature when some great crisis is over and gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dashed some brandy into the water, and the colour began to come back to his bloodless cheeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's better, said he, and no doctor perhaps you would kindly attend to my thumb, or rather to the place where my thumb used to be. He unwound the handkerchief and held out his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It gave even my hardened nerves a shudder to look at it. There were four protruding fingers and a horrid red spongy surface where the thumb should have been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It had been hacked or torn right out from the roots. Good heavens, I cry, this is a terrible injury. It must have bled considerably. Yes, dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fainted when it was done, and I think that I must have been senseless for a long time. When I came to I found that it was still bleeding


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I tied one end of my handkerchief very tightly around the wrist and braced it up with a twig. Excellent, you should have been a surgeon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a question of hydraulics, you see, and came within my own province. This has been done, said I, examining the wound, by a very heavy and sharp instrument. A thing like a cleaver, said he.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An accident, I presume. By no means. What a murderous attack. Very murderous indeed. You horrify me. I sponged the wound, cleaned it, dressed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And finally covered it with cotton wadding and carbolized bandages. He lay back without wincing, though he bit his lip from time to time. How is that? I asked when I had finished. Capital? Between your brandy and your bandage I feel a new man. I was very weak, but I have had a good deal to go through. Perhaps you would not better speak of the matter. It is evidently trying to your nerves. Oh, no, not now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shall have to tell Matilda to the police, but between ourselves


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it were not for the convincing evidence of this wound of mine, I should be surprised if they believed my statement, for it is a very extraordinary one, and I've not much in the way of proof with which to back it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even if they believe me, the clues which I can give them are so vague that it is a question whether justice will be done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hah!" cried I, if it is anything in the nature of a problem which you desire to see solved, I should strongly recommend you come to my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, before you go to the official police. Oh, I have heard of that fellow," answered my visitor, and I should be very glad if he would take the matter up, though of course I must use the official police as well. Would you give me an introduction to him? I'll do better. I'll take you round to him myself. I should be immensely obliged to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll call a cab and go together. We shall just be in time to have a little breakfast with him. Do you feel equal to it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I shall not feel easy until I've told my story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then my servant will call a cab and I shall be with you in an instant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I rushed upstairs, explained the matter shortly to my wife, and in five minutes was inside a handsome driving with my new acquaintance to Baker Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sherlock Holmes was, as I expected, lounging about his sitting-room in his dressing-gown, reading the agony column of the Times, and smoking his before-breakfast pipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was composed of all the plugs and dotles left from his smokes of the day before, all carefully dried and collected on the corner of the mantelpiece.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He received us in his quietly genial fashion, ordered fresh rashes and eggs, and joined us in a hearty meal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it was concluded he settled our new acquaintance upon the sofa, placed a pillow beneath his head, and laid a glass of brandy and water within his reach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is easy to see that your experience has been no common one, Mr. Hatherley," said he.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pray lie down there and make yourself absolutely at home. Tell us what you can, but stop when you are tired, and keep up your strength with a little stimulant."


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I shall start at once upon my peculiar experiences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holmes sat in his big armchair with the weary, heavy-lidded expression which veiled his keen and eager nature, while I sat opposite to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we listened in silence to the strange story which our visitor detailed to us. You must know, said he, that I am an orphan and a bachelor, residing alone in lodgings in London. By profession I am a hydraulic engineer, and have had considerable experience of my work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the seven years that I was apprentice of Venner and Matheson, the well-known firm of Greenwich,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two years ago, having served my time and having also come into a fair sum of money through my poor father's death, I determined to start in business for myself, and took professional chambers in Victoria Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose that everyone finds his first independent start in business a dreary experience. To me it had been exceptionally so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During two years I've had three consultations and one small job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is absolutely all that my profession has brought me. My gross takings amount to £27.10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every day from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon I waited in my little den until at last my heart began to sink, and I came to believe that I should never have any practice at all. Yesterday, however,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just as I was thinking of leaving the office, my clerk entered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To say there was a gentleman waiting who wished to see me upon business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He brought up a card, too, with the name of Colonel Lysander Stark engraved upon it. Close at his heels came the Colonel himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A man rather over the middle size, but of an exceeding thinness. I do not think that I have ever seen so thin a man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His whole face sharpened away into nose and chin, and the skin of his cheeks was drawn quite tense over his outstanding bones. Yet this emaciation seemed to be his natural habit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And due to no disease, for his eye was bright, his step brisk, and his bearing assured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was plainly but neatly dressed, and his age, I should judge, would be nearer forty than thirty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Hathaway, said he, with something of a German accent,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have been recommended to me, Mr. Hathaway, as being a man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feeling as flattered as any young man would at such an address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] May I ask who it was who gave me so good a character? I asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, perhaps it is better that I should not tell you just at this moment. I have it from the same source that you are both an orphan and a bachelor, and are residing alone in London.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is quite correct, I answered, but you will excuse me if I say that I cannot see how all this bears upon my professional qualifications.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand that it was on a professional matter that you wish to speak to me. Undoubtedly so. But you will find that all I say is really to the point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a professional commission for you, but absolute secrecy is quite essential. Absolute secrecy, you understand? And of course we may expect that more from a man who is alone than from one who lives in the bosom of his family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I promise to keep a secret, said I, you may absolutely depend upon my doing so. He looked very hard at me as I spoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it seemed to me that I'd never seen so suspicious and questioning an eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do promise then, said he at last. Yes, I promise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolute and complete silence before, during, and after. No reference to the matter at all, either in word or writing. I have already given you my word. Very good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He suddenly sprang up and darting like lightning across the room he flung open the door. The passage outside was empty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that clerks are sometimes curious as to their masters' affairs. Now we can talk in safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He threw up his chair very close to mine and began to stare at me again, with the same questioning and thoughtful look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A feeling of repulsion and something akin to fear had begun to rise within me at the strange antics of this fleshless man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even my dread of losing a client could not restrain me from showing my impatience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I beg that you will stay at your business, sir, said I. My time is of value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heaven forgive me for that last sentence, but the words came to my lips. How would fifty guineas for a night's work suit you? he asked. Most admirably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say a night's work, but an hour's would be nearer the mark. I simply want your opinion about a hydraulic stamping machine which has got out of gear. If you show us what is wrong, we shall soon set it right ourselves. What do you think of such a commission as that? The work appears to be light and the pay munificent. Precisely so. We shall want you to come to-night by the last train. Where to? To Iford, in Berkshire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a little place near the borders of Oxfordshire, and within seven miles of Reading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a train from Paddington which would bring you in there at about 11.15. Very good. I shall come down in a carriage to meet you. There is a drive then? Yes, our little place is quite out in the country. That's a good seven miles from Iford Station.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we can hardly get there before midnight. I suppose there would be no chance of a train back. I should be compelled to stop the night. Yes, we could easily give you a shakedown. That is very awkward. Could I not come at some more convenient hour? We have judged it best that you should come late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is to recompense you for any inconvenience that we are paying you, a young and unknown man, a fee which would buy an opinion from the very heads of your profession.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still, of course, if you'd like to draw out of the business there's plenty of time to do so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought of the fifty guineas and of how very useful they would be to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not at all said I. I should be very happy to accommodate myself to your wishes. I should like, however, to understand a little more clearly what it is you wish me to do. Quite so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is very natural that the Pledge of Secrecy which we have exacted from you should have aroused your curiosity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no wish to commit you to anything without having it all laid before you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose that we are absolutely safe from eavesdroppers entirely. Then the matter stands thus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're probably aware that Fuller's Earth is a valuable product, and that it is only found in one or two places in England. I have heard so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some little time ago I bought a small place, a very small place, within ten miles of Reading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was fortunate enough to discover that there was a deposit of Fuller's earth in one of my fields.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On examining it, however, I found that this deposit was a comparatively small one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that it formed a link between two very much larger ones upon the right and left. Both of them, however, in the grounds of my neighbors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These good people were absolutely ignorant that their land contained that which was quite as valuable as a gold mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Naturally it was my interest to buy their land before they discovered its true value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they suggested that we should quietly and secretly work our own little deposit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that in this way we should earn the money which would enable us to buy the neighbouring fields. Thus we have now been doing for some time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in order to help us in our operations we erected a hydraulic press.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This press, as I've already explained, has got out of order, and we wish your advice upon the subject. We guard our secret very jealously, however.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if it once became known that we had hydraulic engineers coming to our little house,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would soon rouse inquiry, and then, if the facts came out, it would be good-bye to any chance of getting these fields, and carrying out our plans. That is why I've made you promise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you will not tell a human being that you're going to Iford tonight. I hope that I make it all plain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I quite follow you, said I, the only point which I could not quite understand was what use you could make of a hydraulic press in excavating Fuller's Earth, which,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I understand, is dug out like gravel from a pit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, said he callously, we have our own process. We compress the earth into bricks so as to remove them without revealing what they are. But that's a mere detail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've taken you fully into my confidence now, Mr. Hathaway, and I have shown you how I trust you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You rose as you spoke. I shall expect you then at Ithford at 11.15.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shall certainly be there, and not a word to a soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He looked at me with a last long questioning gaze and then, pressing my hand in a cold, dank grasp, he hurried from the room. Well, when I came to think it all over in cool blood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was very much astonished, as you may both think, at this sudden commission which had been entrusted to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the one hand, of course, I was glad, for the fee was at least tenfold what I should have asked had I set a price upon my own services, and it was possible that this order might lead to other ones. On the other hand, the face and manner of my patron had made an unpleasant impression upon me.

[Assistant] And I could not think that his explanation of the fool as earth


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was sufficient to explain the necessity for my coming at midnight.

[Assistant] And has extreme anxiety, lest I should tell anyone of my errand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, I threw all my fears to the winds, ate a hearty supper, drove to Paddington, and started off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having obeyed to the letter, the injunction as to holding my tongue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At Reading I had to change not only my carriage, but my station. However, I was in time for the last train to Iford.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And reached the little dim lit station after eleven o'clock. I was the only passenger who got out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there was no one upon the platform save a single Sleepy Potter with a lantern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I passed out through the wicket gate, however, I found my acquaintance of the morning, waiting in the shadow upon the other side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without a word he grasped my arm and hurried me into a carriage, the door of which was standing open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He drew up the windows on either side, tapped on the woodwork, and away we went as hard as the horse could go. One horse? interjected Holmes. Yes, only one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you observe the colour? Yes, I saw it by the side-lights when I was stepping into the carriage. It was a chestnut. Tired-looking or fresh? Oh, fresh and glossy. Thank you, I'm sorry to have interrupted you. Pray continue your most interesting statement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Away we went then, and we drove for at least an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Colonel Lysander Stark had said that it was only seven miles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I should think, from the rate that we seemed to go and the time that we took, that it must have been nearer twelve. He sat at my side in silence all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was aware more than once, when I glanced in his direction, that he was looking at me with great intensity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The country roads seem to be not very good in that part of the world, for we lurched and jolted terribly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried to look out of the window to see something of where we were, but they were made of frosted glass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I could make out nothing save an occasional blur of a passing light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now and then a hazarded summary mark to break the monotony of the journey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the cardinal answered only in monosyllables, and the conversation soon flagged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At last, however, the bumping of the road was exchanged for the crisp smoothness of a gravel drive, and the carriage came to a stand. Colonel Lysander Stark sprang out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as I followed after him, pulled me swiftly into a porch which gaped in front of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We stepped, as it were, right out to the carriage and into the hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that I failed to catch the most fleeting glance of the front of the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The instant that I had crossed the threshold, the door slammed heavily behind us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I heard faintly the rattle of the wheels as the carriage drove away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was pitch dark inside the house, and the Colonel fumbled about looking for matches, and muttering under his breath. Suddenly a door opened at the other end of the passage.
