[Assistant] I could get 25 grand. And believe me, sister, I'm gonna get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello? Miss Kurasky, please. Oh, uh, tell her it's J.W. Rintz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A massive tax cut to the wealthiest households paid for by cutting healthcare coverage for poor, working and sick Americans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Striking face. Not just conventionally pretty, much more than that. Damn detractive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My lord, can that really be the face of a Poisoner? Well, my lord, I- Banto, launch the Lagonda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An interesting face. I've been reading one of her books. Well written. And I didn't guess who did it till the end. Curious to write about murder and be accused of murder oneself. Well, we'll soon know what the jolly jury's made of it. I expect Miss Clemson's telling them all about it. Might take some while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing is, can we do anything to improve our case? Well, there must be some evidence somewhere. And I do believe in the girl's innocence. Dammit, Whimsy, so do I. Well now, let's see what we can do with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? You must do something for me. I must see Ms. Vane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you get me in as part of your outfit? I'd like to hear her version of the story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard the case and all that and I thought there might be something I could do to help, don't you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not at all. I rather enjoy investigating things. If you see what I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you'll understand, I'm not such an ass as I appear in the present.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, don't say that. It can't be hopeless unless you actually did it. And I know you didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not necessarily. You might have been sorry for him, or, um, bewitched by him, or simply badgered to death by him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I quite see that. Such a Victorian attitude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know I've got a silly face, but I can't help that. And I am. Serious, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Changing my tailor. No, I couldn't in all conscience offer that, but, uh, pardon the mane on the other side. Grown a toothbrush and cashier in the eyeglass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I-I'm not trying to blackmail you into matrimony. I mean, I would investigate this case for the pun of the thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has a sense of humor and brains. Life wouldn't be dull. One would wake up and there would be a whole day of jolly things to do. And then one would come home and go to bed. And that would be jolly too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] July the 17th, one month, four weeks, 28 days. And I don't know where to begin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Admirable, Miss Clemson. I haven't had an opportunity of thanking you for your sterling performance at the trial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bye, Joe. That's an idea worth looking into. Place, public house. Next, motive. Do have a buttered tea cake. Thank you. Insurance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I suppose, Miss Thane, if the policy was taken out, uh, whilst, uh, they were living together...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some possibilities there. Uhm, inheritance? Did boys have anything to leave?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was this fellow, boys? Anyway, I don't know anything about him. He might have been a blackguard of the deepest dye. Knew unmentionable things about his friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather than ask that on the head, we shall have to fall back on the mysterious stranger at the pub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or suicide, which I am rather inclined to believe in only what happened to the empty bottle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, if it wasn't on him, it could be anywhere round down the street. It's going to be pretty difficult trying to find a bottle or a piece of paper that was chucked away six months ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Find out if boys visited any pub in the neighborhood of Doubters Street between say 9.50 and 10 past 10 on the evening of February the 20th. Whether he met anyone and what he took to drink. Query pub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps you'd like me to trace the bus ticket dropped by Miss Brown outside Selfridges during the last Christmas rush. My dear Parker, I would not dream of patronizing an officer of your caliber by setting him such a simple problem. And now, you must excuse me, I have to go and see a man about a dog. Or rather, a clergyman about his son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't know of anybody who might have had an interest in his death. Did he, for example, make a will?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, uh, he had no private money to leave, I don't suppose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What must you think of me? Been buzzing like a bee. Seen the Reverend Boyes, your publisher. Boyes' publisher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, who writes books. Detective stories, actually. And, um, she has a friend who also writes books.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, the friend makes a will, leaving all his money, receipts from his books and so forth, to the girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not to say that. You're to keep smiling. It suits you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She'd never have come up with such a motive if she'd really done it. It'd be put in a noose around her own neck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No thanks. Rather wanted to see myself personally, as a matter of fact, uh, concerns the very sad death of his cousin, Philip Boyd. Shocking business, then, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How very true that is. Still without them there'd be much less litigation, so it's all good for business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a vacancy for a confidential clerk, Mr. Norman Urquhartz. You'll remember him from the trial. The solicitor, Bedford Row. Have you got anyone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right away, Ms. Clemson. And see her skirts, the regulation four inches below the knee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The head clerk's in charge, and the last girl left to get married, so he's feeling anti-sex appeal. So, get her in, and I'll give her instructions. Bless you, and may your shadow never grow bulkier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I trust I do not interrupt some inspired work of sculpture? No? Dear me, the muses are so fickle. Look here, I need an entree into Bohemia. The Mrs. Marriott and Price, I believe you know them. This evening will be most convenient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, you do, bless you. Do you, uh, know how to paint, by the way?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell. You don't have any that's fit to drink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Politics do that well enough. Let us return to our eels. If you're not careful, that drink will be your last. You affix yourself to royalty, like a louse affixes itself to a horse's arse. And yet you say your loyalties lie with these... people. How disingenuous of you. Oh! How common! Was that your way of challenging me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there anyone else at home who could provide me with more distraction? The sister perhaps? Sir, you will take back those words or I'll have your head. That would be quite a show, wouldn't it? Let it stand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after I've had your sister, perhaps your mother would care to be entertained.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes? Was there something you wanted to say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, sometimes I think I would... I'd give up my mortality to have a son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautiful this. This is our moment in the cloud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be strong. For me. And for Charlie. For all of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come to France all the way from Italy just to meet us. What's he like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, he's a... He's a great man. A great leader.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, without Charlie, there's no Scotland. But with him, I can raise an army of ten thousand men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, and have them miss their chance with a great man? Not to be there when he claims his throne? Warren, send them back while you can. You've too high an opinion of the English, MacLeod. Maybe you've lived with them too long, eh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, all's well that ends well, eh? Have an English night for James's keepsake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seemed a clear enough case, but then juries are so unreliable, especially nowadays, my lord, with women on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, I'm Chris Fowler for SportsCentury. In February of 2001, the man they called the Intimidator was killed in the Daytona 500, leaving a void a mile wide in auto racing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dale Earnhardt ruled his world with an explosive blend of guts and guile. To win a race, he'd scare the competition out of its skin. Then make it all right with a wink and a smile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From his first victory at Bristol, Tennessee in 1979 to his last at Talladega, Alabama in 2000, Dale Earnhardt collected 76 checkered flags, sixth all-time, and seven Winston Cup titles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No driver ever competed with a greater passion for risk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Earnhardt's nickname evolved with his driving skills, from Iron Head to Intimidator, his need to control everything around him remained as strong as his nerves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what may have begun as mischief became black comedy as an atmosphere of danger played out under the guise of humor surrounded Earnhardt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was born on April 29th, 1951, the third of five children to Ralph and Martha Earnhardt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't long before Dale began to share his father's fascination for stock car racing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At 16, Dale dropped out of the 9th grade to work on his father's race cars. Soon, the Earnharts were competing on the same dirt tracks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That voice of wisdom was silenced in September of 1973 when Ralph Earnhardt died of a heart attack while working in his garage. Dale, at 22, was devastated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Under the team owned by Rod Osterlin, Diamond seemed close enough to grasp, as Earnhardt followed his Rookie of the Year campaign with a Winston Cup title in 1980.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then after a series of bad breaks shadowed him for three seasons, Earnhardt found the right partner in 1984, and the road to victory opened up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over 17 seasons with Childress, Earnhardt won 6 more Winston Cups and finished out of the top 5 just 4 times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet, for all his success, his competitiveness seemed to sharpen with the years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite the cries of foul play, Earnhardt kept winning and in 1994 tied Richard Petty's record of seven Winston Cups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dale Earnhardt and Daytona International Speedway's two and a half mile track were inextricably bound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He first raced a Winston Cup car there in 1978.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five times in the 1980s, Ernard had a good chance to win the 500 but was denied victory. Nothing, however, could have prepared him for the bad luck he suffered in 1990.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Twice in the 1990s, Earnhardt was beaten in the Daytona 500 by a Dale of a different stripe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1997, Earnhardt was again in contention at the Daytona 500, battling Jeff Gordon in the final laps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then a small, shiny charm was introduced into the 46-year-old Earnhardt's legacy of 19 straight losses at the Daytona 500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he won his first Winston Cup points title in 1980, Dale Earnhardt had two failed marriages. The first, at age 17, produced a son, Kerry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the second produced a daughter, Kelly, and another son, Dale Jr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earnhardt's daughter, Taylor Nicole, was born in 1988, the only child of his third marriage to Teresa Houston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If his country boy image endeared Dale Earnhardt to race fans, it was his business savvy that appealed to the corporate world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1980, Dale Earnhardt Incorporated was formed. Over the next two decades, its estimated value climbed to a hundred million dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He owned the trademark of his signature and called his headquarters the Garage Mahal. Sales of Earnhardt merchandise in 2000 reached 33 million dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sunday morning, February 18th, 2001, began the same way the previous seven Daytona 500s had started for Dale Earnhardt, with an inspirational note of scripture provided by Darryl Waltrip's wife, Stevie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the race wound down, Earnhardt kept the pack away from his team owned cars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earnhardt reportedly hit the wall at 160 miles per hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The official cause of his death was listed as a basilar skull fracture. The racing world was locked in denial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On July 7th, not quite five months after Earnhardt's death, the NASCAR circuit returned to Daytona for the Pepsi 400. And through the pain of loss, Dale Jr. provided a finish worthy of his father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a six-month investigation, NASCAR announced that Earnhardt's death was caused in part by a broken lap belt, although the belt manufacturer refuted the findings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In October 2001, the impact of the tragedy was felt again when NASCAR mandated that all drivers wear one of two approved head and neck restraint systems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aside from mandating head restraints, NASCAR had outfitted nearly all its tracks with energy absorbing barriers by 2004.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still in development is a safer, more spacious driver's compartment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although there has not been another Nextel Cup fatality, the death of Dale Earnhardt still reverberates throughout the racing community.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the messy aftermath of Earnhardt's death, a legal battle ensued over the right to view his autopsy photos. Teresa Earnhardt maintained that if the Volusia County Coroner's Office made the picture public, they would distort our memory of the driver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In support of the Intimidator's widow, Florida Governor Jeb Bush signed into law the Earnhardt Family Protection Act on March 29, 2001, sealing the photos of one of racing's greatest drivers. For SportsCentury, I'm Chris Fowler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the morning 18, and a couple of newspaper friends was sitting there, and he asked one of his friends, a newspaper guy from Pittsburgh, he said, what would it take to win this term?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He became very aware of television. Was the first one, I believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My first race car, Dale Earnhardt sponsored. So Dale come to me right before the race, he said, here's the deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I find you wrecked on this racetrack, I'm gonna stop my car and kick your...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that the universal feeling of everybody was Daytona owed Dale Earnhardt a victory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It brought tears to my eyes just thinking that he's not gonna be able to hug his wife anymore and not gonna be able to grab Dale Jr. by the neck. He's not gonna be able to, to watch Taylor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ralph Earnhardt was one of NASCAR's first Race for a Living race drivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the dirt track circuit then, I mean he was a guy to beat. Ralph Earnhardt was Dale Earnhardt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other young kids would come to the racetracks with their fathers, but they would be off kicking cans. Not Dale. Dale was right there with that car. He wanted to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dale was bound and determined that he was going to be better as a race driver than his father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He married at an early age, but he was trying to make a living driving a race car. And he worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of the drivers felt that Earnhardt was invincible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Earnhardt's death, it made all of the drivers sit back and think that this could happen to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Couple of years ago, I've started building for this and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A whole lot of racists for the past few years. And there were people beginning to ask the question, did Earnhardt prove? Is he washed up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she gave him a penny. She said this will be your good luck charm to win the date on the 500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earnhardt, when he first started wrestling, many times would borrow money on Thursday to buy tires to wrestle on the weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knowing that if he didn't win the race, he wouldn't have enough money to pay people back on Monday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It annoyed Dale Earnhardt to no end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dale Jr. neither did annoy his father, and therefore spent as much time as he could talking about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think that always was a huge hole in Dale's life. Fast forward 20 years to Dale getting to see his son, Dale Junior, become


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Delighted to have some new blood. I trust that you have some amusing stories for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not an empire builder. What brought you to the mysterious east?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to see you try that one again. As you wish, honorable guest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not you Hideo, but maybe once I leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please. I beg your pardon, sir. But this is none of your affair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stand clear, sir. Miss Hussie and I have a score to settle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd buy you an ale to drown your sorrows. It's still every penny I have. At least you have a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But after he left the following morning, she cried sadly all day long, thinking that she was almost in a prison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she went sadly to bed without having eaten anything. Her hunger was quite taken away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wanted to speak to them and let them know that she was well and comfort them. Finally, her unseen husband agreed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoever and whatever you are, I would rather die a half-burn a hundred times than lose you love, lose your love. I love you and hold you in my heart as if you were myself. Not even Eris, the god of love, could compare to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please, husband, order your servant Zephyrus, the waster wind, to carry my sister's down into this valley as he once carried me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fashion is like my security blanket. It's my shell, it's like I could not say anything and what I'm wearing can tell you. Nice question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've always been like that. Even when my style was trash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I've always thought was the most important thing. If you like something, if you hate something, that's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he was out to win every night and I liked his comp-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He kept Kareem in his place, just like he kept all the rest of us in our places. You know, Kareem was missing a defensive assignment, and his eyes would get about this big, and he let Kareem know. Big fella!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that, that amazed me a little bit. I mean, there seemed to be a respect for each other there, but it wasn't that coach to player, player to coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was great. If any of you yawn, you're out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a, because we are pretty tired. It's a, I felt like one of those sleeps where you close your eyes and you wake up, but it doesn't feel like you've really slept. It feels like you just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to get up at five to go get Bodhi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a great time. I got there and he wouldn't even give me a hug because he was reading a book with Timbo. Really? Yeah. He's up, he's up on the couch reading a book in the cutest little outfit, pair of little socks, little shorts, little blue top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's a, um, I mean, do you think you're affectionate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, did you grow up in an affectionate household? Oh, no, not really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, I think product, uh, I think people can be a product is their environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And her mum was telling us that when she was young, it was like, can't always, you know, wanting cuddles and kisses. And then the, uh, her second child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Bodhi's auntie, um, wasn't like that as a baby, which is, it's fascinating. Just these little kids that have their personalities. What were you Mr97? Do you reckon you're a little sweet angel, angel boy? Yeah. Just kissy mummy, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you did literally a similar message to what I wanted to do. And so I just ended up going, love ya. Appreciate it. Appreciate you, Matt. Something like that. Anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fair crack, a 12 out, cause it, I mean you just, AirPods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's perfect. The problem, guys, is that you need to bring a pair of headphones that you can plug in because airpods aren't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what are you going to read? If you're, if I'm doing what, can you give me my title again? I thought it was just me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reading it or listening to it on double speed for the whole duration or a little bit to get the joke and not actually reading it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so if you're just getting an update.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want, let's just say my score is Mason's and Josh's put together was my number. That's true. Fuck. You really thought that through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I don't know how it translates cause I don't, I'm tired. You're tired. Mason's tired. We're all just a bit tired. We're all a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's got nothing. So then if you want to, I see what you're doing. You want to use the loss to your advantage. Well, I'm saying that, okay. I'm all good for exploiting the loss and just, poor me, poor me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you find out a negative result or a lower result or something, you're informed of a lower amount.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll do it today, but the reason I don't like doing is because if we find out it's not great cause he did the assessment of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] TRT, Testosterone Replacement Therapy, is what you can have, and so, you're, you're, you're supplementing what your body naturally produces, and so these would be injections, and then there's a bunch of like, um, anabolic steroids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How small did they get? Not that small, but you could definitely notice that they shrunk. Cause you don't need to be, your body wasn't, my body wasn't needing to produce the shit anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, like I always look at like Staffordshire terriers and they're big nuts hanging out the back and think, fuck they're packing. Cause mine aren't even close to that size. Have you ever thought that like dog nuts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the worst thing is I'm not actually training as hard as I have been in the past when I wanted to use the testosterone for good. Anyway, I thought Mr97 was going to use it cause he's young and he's been putting on a bit of muscle, but he fucked it. He's 10 points behind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, because it could be mental, mental strength. So it could be something like we have to do something for a full day. We have to sit on a chair for it. So it's like who, who taps out? Cause I don't know how great I would be at that. Like it's a, it's a mental capacity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sandbagging. So maybe he wasn't training for anything, decided because he'd been consistently going that I'm going to enter this marathon this weekend. And then there's a photo that pops up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. Growing up, I had tutors. I had an English tutor. Like I had a family friend that came to our house and then I had this other, this young Jewish man who was really friendly. He wasn't even that much older. I was 16.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember this one afternoon, my mate had got some weed and he bought a new bong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are they a waste or are they a part of everything we've needed to get to this moment? Like Mr97 going to his university for three months, six months or whatever it was. I guess it's part of the journey. Like, uh, my, I had a, um, uh, reading teacher. What was it? Like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think that here's the problem, right? With these, when we're young, we go through this, I'm shit at maths or whatever. And so then can give you a complete complex algebra.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure they'd get harder. So it's to, it's to pressure test your, like your intelligence, your intellectual intelligence. You just need a fucking- Did you get that? I fell asleep to be honest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but I think you're right. Take the test off the table. We'll work out some team, team challenge together. Come together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ginger beer, ginger ale. Oh, what about like sarsaparilla?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Close our eyes or like, uh, we can put something around them and so you can, it's like a, oh, you can take the Ben Fordham, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stubby holder. Stubby holder. Put the can into it. So it just covers it up and then you, what is that? That's a grape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Dr. K in a supermarket or in a shop listening to our show either just before or at the time when we're talking about different flavoured sodas and boom, right in front, soda, some wacky sodas, some weird flavours like a vanilla lemon twist bullshit. Orange vanilla.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, mate, I was hot. I think it was because we'd been running around pre-show pressure and I was just like, I need to, I ended up rolling up my pants cause it was the only way I felt warm. And it was a bit warm at the venue before the aircon kicked in by every time everyone got there. But I had, at that point had an hour where I just started chilling a bit more and I cooled down a bit.

[Assistant] Um, Sevz, I can imagine you rocking the, I think most people know the Supreme. Havanahs? No, no, no, like the Supreme slipper thong style. I don't know what they're called. Like the, you know, the cover of the top and it says Supreme. I can imagine you wearing that shit. Like Adidas, I feel like Adidas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I don't know if I could risk it, but. Anything else?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to go from a Thursday in Melbourne to a Thursday in LA. So we just sort of stepping back a day, but then we get to experience the Hollywood LA, sorry, the Hollywood, um, Halloween, the HH and then Mr97's birthday. Birthdays on the 1st?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It must be an enchanted sleep, said Lucy. I felt the moment we landed on this island that it was full of magic. Oh, do you think we have perhaps come here to break it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At last I heard someone outside and then the younger stableman ran in with a light. He began to untie the horses and tried to lead them out. The first horse would not go with him, nor the second or third. He tried to pull me out, but he was so frightened himself


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he frightened me. And I would not move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The noise above was louder now, and there was a shout of FIRE outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The old stableman came in quietly and quickly and got one horse out, then another. By now


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The flames were coming down through the roof, and the noise was terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I heard James's voice, quiet and friendly as it always was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on, Beauty, he said, we'll soon get you out of this smoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He took off his scarf and tied it over my eyes, then led me out, patting me all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He took the scarf off, then shouted, Take this horse somebody, while I go back for the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Freefall said that she felt that this was a random killing and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, not if we. We can stop it from happening. We're going to get it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, at least even though he is dead, and this raises a lot of questions for me, his address, the address of the warehouse is in here. So, I honestly don't know what we're going to find there, Hypo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I really want that favor. Okay. Mmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The person that you are trying to blackmail with this little black pillow is dead. That is a fact. Uhm, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have to steal, look, I don't give a shit. Steal from somewhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just give us the pill and stay away from Hypo's clinic, okay? Find somebody else to rob. Rob somebody with money. We will! Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, no, you're dripping wet. How could I explain a girl's tax in the hallway? Open the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we're going to take some time to actually start designing the next ten years of your life. We're going to start setting your goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goal setting is one of the most important skills to develop if you want to design your future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to give you enough homework, not only to keep you busy for the rest of your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also to help you create the kind of life you may have always dreamed about living, but never believed possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's get on with it. The sooner you exert the discipline, the sooner you will be enjoying the results.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once the results start to come, believe me, you won't mind the hard work and discipline it's going to take. Now, get a sheet of paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at the top of it, write the words, long range goals. I'm going to ask you some questions, and I want you to jot down the answers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you don't have paper and pen handy, follow along with me now anyway, just listening. Then later, listen again when you can write down your ideas. After I've asked the questions, which is the first part of this exercise, you can stop the tape and work on your answers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's start this exercise. The basic question you are going to answer is, What do I want within the next one to ten years?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you to take about 12 to 15 minutes and make a list of at least 50 things you want within the next 1 to 10 years. These are long range goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To help you get started with your list, consider these questions. What do I want to do? What do I want to see? What do I want to be? What do I want to have?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where do I want to go? And what would I like to share?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now with these thought starter questions in mind, answer the basic question. What do I want within the next one to ten years?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See how many things you can write down. At this point, don't take the time to describe in detail everything you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the time for you to let your thoughts pour, to write fast and to abbreviate. For example, if you just write down 380, you'll know what that means. You don't have to describe the color and the interior of the car. You'll do that later in this exercise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you now just to abbreviate and write fast. Make the list as long as you possibly can. Try to write down at least fifty items. Fifty things you want within the next one to ten years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are long-range goals. Spend about 12 to 15 minutes on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After you've completed your list, you're ready for the next part of the exercise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go through your list, and next to the things you think you can accomplish or acquire a year from now, write a number one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next to the things you think it will take three years to realize, write a three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next to the things it will take five years to accomplish, write a five. And next to the things it will take ten years to accomplish, write a ten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go through this list now to the best of your ability and say, that looks like it will take me about a year, or three years, or five years, or ten years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some big goals might be out there ten years from now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once you complete this part of the exercise, you might come to the conclusion that you need a lot more three-year goals. And less one-year goals, for example. Or that you need more ten-year goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, while you're working on one goal, you must have something else in the planning stages. If you don't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What happened to some of the early Apollo astronauts could happen to you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After they came back from the moon, some of those astronauts experienced deep psychological and emotional problems. And the reason for that, why after you've been to the moon, now where do you go? That seemed to be the end, the finish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What later astronauts did was to make sure that they had major projects lined up after they returned from the moon trip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way you enjoy life best is to wrap up one goal and start right on the next one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't linger too long at the table of success. The only way to enjoy another meal is to get hungry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another thing to check for on your list is that you have included goals for each of these three important categories. First,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make sure you've listed your economic goals. Your goals for income, profits, and productivity. Second, make certain your list includes material items you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tangibles such as a home, a car, a boat, furniture, or jewelry. Don't attach the wrong importance to things, but they are important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll want to include on your list goals for personal development.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Write down all your personal development goals. Your goals to be more physically fit. To lose weight. To be more decisive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be a more effective leader. To be a better communicator. To learn another language. Of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are other types of goals to consider. Family goals, social goals, lifestyle goals. This is pretty heavy homework. But remember,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether or not you do your homework shows up in the marketplace as well as in the classroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After you have determined which of your goals are one year, three year, five year, and ten year, and after you've made certain your list includes economic goals, things, and personal development goals, I want you to go back to this list again. Now pick out the four most important


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One year goals. The four most important three year goals. The four most important five year goals. And the four most important ten year goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those 16 goals will give you plenty of work for now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get out some more paper, and in a brief paragraph, describe each goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How high? How long? How much? What size? What model? What color, for example?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also describe why it is important to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a process where you either talk yourself into it, or talk yourself out of it. Which is good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're unclear as to why something is important, usually you put only half-hearted effort into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you want is a powerful motivator, but the reason why you want it is an even more powerful motivator. It has greater pull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You may find that some of your goals you thought at first glance were important are not important after all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The point is, right now try to have approximately four one year, three year, five year, and ten year goals that you truly believe in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That inspire you. That you've sold yourself on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When these goals and the reasons you want to obtain them are each clearly described in a brief paragraph,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Transfer this information to a journal or some type of notebook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To review all of your goals. To rearrange them, redo them, restructure them, to add goals, or to tear up the whole list and start over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goal setting is not something you do just once. It's a continual process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, you must constantly check your progress toward your goals. You don't want to fall too far behind on, or worse, lose sight of, your important goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, just as important as your long range goals are your short range goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your goals for tomorrow, next week, next month. Six months from now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are goals you can accomplish within the next year, the immediate future. We call these goals confidence builders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you work hard, burn the midnight oil, and accomplish these little things, it builds your confidence to go for your long range goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Write down in your notebook or journal all the little things you would like to have or accomplish in the next year. How you set up this list is up to you. You might want to break it down by week or by month. Set it up in whatever way works well for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of the fun of having a list is being able to check off something as obtained or completed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every week, try to check off at least one thing on your list of short term goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you are able to check off something major, something on your list of long-range goals, celebrate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make winning joyful. Congratulate yourself. It is very important to celebrate progress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We grow from two experiences. One is the joy of winning, and the other is the pain of losing. Here's what that also means. Make losing painful. Put it on yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you set something up, fooled around, didn't pull it off, put it on yourself. And get around people who will help in this area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, don't join an easy crowd. Go where the expectations are high, where the pressure to perform is high. It's how we grow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm certain that part of the reason why people let goal setting slide is because it is a lot of work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I said, you'll be constantly revising your lists of short range and long range goals. Rearranging them, refining them, redesigning them, establishing different priorities, adding new goals, perhaps deleting others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's interesting that so many people work hard on their jobs, but they don't work hard on their futures. They let that slide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people live such mediocre lives that at the end of the day, they don't know whether they're winning or losing. They just go through life with their fingers crossed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know most people don't make definite plans, but don't let that be you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guy says, well, you work where I work, but the time you get home it's late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've got to have a bite to eat, watch a little TV, and get to bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't sit up half of the night and plan, plan, plan. And this is the guy who's behind on his car note.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a good worker, hard worker, sincere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I've discovered that you can be sincere and work hard all your life and wind up broke and embarrassed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've got to be better than a good worker. You've got to be a good planner. A good goal setter. You've heard the old saying, the people who fail to plan are planning to fail. It's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So work on your plans. Put yourself in the top few percent who put this power to work for themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Writing your goals down also shows you are serious. And to do better, you must get serious. You don't have to be grim, but you do have to be serious. Hey, everybody hopes things will get better, but remember, the future does not get better by hope. It gets better by plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And hope unaided by clear plans can finally become an illness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a bible phrase that says, hope long delayed makes the heart sick. It's a sickness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to have the illness known as passive hope. It's bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's one that is even worse. And that is called Happy Hope. That is really bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man is fifty, and he's broke, and he's still smiling. That's bad. So get serious. Make plans. Put them on paper. My suggestion from experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a phrase from the Bible that goes, without dreams and vision, we perish. How true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Humans have this unique ability to aspire, to dream, to go for something, to become something. Without that, life is not life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We must have dreams, and never give up on our dreams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to share with you some further observations I've made on goal setting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Understand that your goals, whatever they are, are affecting you all day long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your goals affect your handshake, your attitude, how you feel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your goals affect how you look, how you dress, how you walk, how you talk. All day, every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your personality, conversation, activity, it's all affected by your goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked a man one time, what are your goals for this month?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he said, if I could just scrape up enough money to pay these lousy bills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was his goal. Hey, I'm not saying it isn't a goal. It is, but it's such a poor goal. It certainly isn't inspiring. You don't jump out of bed on Monday morning and say, oh boy, another chance to go out and scrape up the money to pay these lousy bills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The point is that goals should be fun. They should be big, challenging, rewarding. They should allow you to grow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember too, that the major purpose of having a goal is not just to acquire the goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The major reason for setting goals is to compel yourself to become the person it takes to achieve them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In other words, attaining the goal is of secondary importance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's far more important is what you become in the pursuit of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The greatest value in becoming a millionaire for example is not the million dollars. The greatest value is the skills, the knowledge, the discipline, and the leadership qualities you acquired in becoming a millionaire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the experience you acquired in planning, development, strategy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's other qualities you acquired, such as courage, commitment, and willpower to attract a million dollars. You could lose everything you attained, but you could not lose the skills, knowledge, and experience you have obtained. Even better than having is being. Here's a most important question to spend some time answering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What kind of person will I have to become to get all I want? Write down a few thoughts on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Write down some skills you'll have to develop, for example. And some of the things you're going to have to learn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just spend a little time writing a few sentences on this. What kind of person will I have to become to get all I want?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The answer to this will give you some personal development goals. Remember, that income does not far exceed personal development.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of us have to do this kind of self examination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to look at my own life and say, well here's what I want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But am I willing to become what it takes to get what I want?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm too lazy, if I don't want to learn, read, study, and grow to become that kind of person, then I cannot attract what I want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now either I have to change my wants, or I have to change myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here are a few more key points I'd like to share with you on goals and designing your future. First,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you don't right now feel as if you're equipped to get all you want, just remember, ability will grow to match your strong dreams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why the goal setting process we've discussed is so important. The more you work on this, the more ideas you will get on how you can change, how you can grow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am nowhere near the person I was when I met Mr. Shove 25 years ago. I'm not that person anymore. I've changed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's nothing you can do about the past, but you can do a great deal about your future. You don't have to be the same person you were yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can make changes in your life. Absolutely startling changes. In a fairly short period of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can make changes you can't even conceive of now. If you give yourself a chance, your abilities will grow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have untapped talents and potential that you haven't even reached for yet. And as time goes on, you'll be able to reach deeper and deeper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first thing you'll know, you'll be able to do things you never thought you could do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll be able to handle things you never thought you could handle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll have ideas that you've never had before. All of this is sparked by the goal setting process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you know what you want, and you want it badly enough, the answers will come to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't tell you why it works. All I know is it works. Give yourself a chance to become all you can become and to accomplish all you can accomplish. Let me give you a Bible philosophy that teaches how to get whatever you want. Here's what it says. Ask. That's it. Ask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of all the important skills to learn in life, be sure to include the skill of asking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What does ask mean? Ask means what do you want?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the complete formula is staggering. It says ask and you will receive. Hey, we ought to look into that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've got to get a bite to eat, watch a little TV, and get to bed. You can't sit up half the night and ask, ask, ask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this guy is behind on his bills. He's a good worker, hard worker, sincere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you've got to do better than work hard and be sincere all of your life. You'll wind up broke and embarrassed. You've got to be better than a good worker. You've got to be a good asker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me give you some key points on this asking and receiving. Setting goals. Asking of life. Here's part of the philosophy that helped me to change. First, asking starts the receiving process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Asking is like pushing a button. And all this machinery starts working. Mental and emotional machinery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know how it works, but I do know it works. There are a lot of things you don't need to know how they work. Just work them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have to work on receiving. It's automatic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man says I see it now. I got up every day this year and hit it hard. But nowhere in my house is there a list of what I want from my life. Can you see? Good worker. Poor asker. Third, receiving is like the ocean. There's plenty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially in this country. It's like an ocean here. Here, success is not in short supply.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It isn't rationed, so that when you step up to the window it's all gone? No, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if that's true, what is the problem? Well, the problem is some people go to the ocean with a teaspoon. Have you got the picture? A teaspoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I suggest you do in view of the size of the ocean is trade your teaspoon for at least a bucket. And you will look better at the ocean with a bucket. Kids won't make fun of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are two ways to ask. One is ask with intelligence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It didn't say ask intelligently, but I'm sure it meant that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't mumble. You won't get anything by mumbling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be clear, be specific. Intelligent asking means how high? How long? How much? When? What size? What model? What color? Describe what you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Define it. Remember, well defined goals are like magnets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Answer both questions. What do I want? That's the object. And the second question, what for? That's purpose. Purpose is stronger than object. What you want is powerful and it will pull, but what you want it for is more powerful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the second way to ask. Ask with faith. Faith is the childish part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It means believe you can get what you want like a child. Not an adult. Many adults are too skeptical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've lost that wonderful childlike faith and trust. Don't let that happen to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Believe in, have faith in, yourself and your goals. And get excited like a child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Child-like enthusiasm. Nothing can beat it. Kids think they can do anything. How exciting. They hate to go to bed at night, and can't wait to get up in the morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Develop that kind of enthusiasm toward your life and your goals. And be curious like a child. Kids can ask a thousand questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just when you think they're finished, they come up with a thousand more. They'll drive you to the brink. But it's really a virtue. Have plenty of curiosity. Ask questions. That's how you learn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another fringe benefit of setting goals is what it does for your ability to manage your time effectively. This is no small thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll look at time management in detail in a later session, but now, while we're talking about goals, I'd like to share a few ways your use of time are affected by or influence the achievement of your goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever thought that without some very clear written goals, you never even need to consider managing your time? Time essentials come from objectives well defined.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Time can't be critical if objectives aren't defined.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you might be one of those uniquely fortunate individuals who can keep all their objectives and purposes clearly defined in their minds and operate from that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I wouldn't take the chance. Write your goals down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And set careful priorities. Sometimes priorities are determined by the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a farmer in springtime, the season dictates his most important activities. During the spring, a farmer must work around the clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Burn the midnight oil and keep the equipment running because he has only this small window of time for the planting of his crops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the difficulties of living in an industrialized society is the losing of the sense of seasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When to pour it on, when to ease back, when to take advantage. It's easy to keep going from nine to five, year in and year out, and lose a natural sense of priorities and appropriate time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't let one year just blend into the next. Keep an eye on your own seasons, lest you lose track of values and substance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of setting priorities is learning to separate major activities from minor activities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a whole skill in itself, but once you have learned it, it will pay dividends you won't believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So learn to put everything on your mental scales to be carefully weighed before you spend time or money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here's a good question to constantly ask. Is this a major or a minor?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By asking that question, you will reduce the amazingly natural tendency to spend major time on minor things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In sales training we are taught that major time is the time spent in the presence of the prospect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're not careful, you will spend more time on the way to than in the presence of. So in sales we teach,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't go across town till you've gone across the street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wouldn't it be wise to make an evaluation if you're in sales, and ask, how much time am I spending in the presence of, and how much time on the way to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Majors and minors. What a great discipline to exercise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It also reads Don't spend minor time on major things. It's easy to get values mixed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man spends three hours watching television and only thirty minutes playing with his kids. Something is probably out of line there, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It also reads, don't spend major money on minor things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you spend more on candy than on audio cassettes like this or books, that would be foolish, right? Here is a great goal-achieving tip. Don't mistake movement for achievement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's possible to be busy all day, come home exhausted, and only then realize that very little of your day consisted of productive activities and the pursuit of your goals. Don't get faked out by being busy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man says I've been going, going hard all day. I've really put in the hours and the effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here's the major question. Doing what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It isn't going, going hard all day that counts. It's the doing what? The value that counts. Another essential is concentration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The television voices, the radio voices, your family voices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The friends voices, social voices, business voices, advertising, commercials. Isn't it amazing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can turn off the television and the commercials keep running. How do you turn them off in your mind? That is the challenge to be mastered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best use of time comes from putting plenty of value in it. And concentration means you take that challenge seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's called careful investment for maximum results. Concentration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The big sports stars will tell you the cost of not concentrating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just a little slip of concentration, and they put one by your feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there goes first place, and maybe the big money. So writing a letter? Concentrate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Making a call. Having a conversation. Trying to solve a problem. Concentrate. You won't believe the effect this will have on your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now there is a time to let your mind wander, but it's a time you designate specifically for that purpose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that appointed time, you can go off for that walk on the beach, or that drive to the mountains, away from business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let the breezes blow and your mind soar. Do some dreaming. That's healthy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do it at that pre-planned time. At all other tasks. Concentrate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another aspect of managing goals and time is constant review.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's just no way to keep on target with your priorities without this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it's business goals, personal goals, family goals, or investment goals, they must all be reviewed to see if you are on track. Which is all the more reason for writing them down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Careful goal setting could be the time management answer you've been looking for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goals well defined and well described and well thought out make us look carefully at the time we have and how to get the most from it to make all of our dreams come true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The answers to do better come from the necessity to do better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You will undoubtedly be amazed at the ideas you can come up with for the use of your time when goals and purpose have you stimulated to the maximum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unreal. That's a man who doesn't fear death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the town of Sastos on the Harus font lived a beautiful girl named Hero who was a priestess in the temple of Aphrodite. Most of her time was spent in the temple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hiro would go back to her home, which was a lonely tower on the cliffs looking out over the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Came to the temple of Aphrodite not to honor the goddess but to look at the lovely, lovely young girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of these young men was Leander, who lived in a town on the other side of the Hallows Pond, called Abydos, within sight of Hero's Tower. When he saw Hero, he decided to win her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Served in the temple should not have relations with men, ignoring the dangers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first she would not listen to him, but at last she believed that his love was thingsy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because what they were doing was against the rule. Leander did not dare to visit her until after that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hiro promised to put a light in her tower to guide him across the fast flowing sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When night came and Bander stood on the shore waiting for the promised signal, uhm, suddenly a light shone in the distance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the ender knew that hero was waiting for him. He swam out in the waves. The sea ran fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At last he reached the rocks at the foot of the tower and was soon standing beside the trembling hero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She asked him not to risk the sea crossing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The liander laughed at her fears and continued bravely across


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Across the narrow stretch of water that lay between his home and Hero's tower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terrible storm that became even stronger as the day went on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By night time, the waves were beating madly against the rocks. Hiro was afraid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now the power of sea was too great even for his strong arms, and the huge waves tossed him about like a tiny piece of wood. The wind and rain beat upon his defenceless body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the cold sea held him in its deadly hold. He called upon the gods for help, but his cries were lost in the sound of the storm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next morning, when Hero came down to the rocks at the foot of the tower, she saw Leander's body which the cruel sea had carried there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And finally threw her body up on the rocks next to her tower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the storm had passed and the fisherman finally went out to sea again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then it's time for cremation of late cousin. But surely- And his majesty goes up river to receive sacred white elephant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mem, this country has been here a thousand years before you came, and must continue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, by all means, I present you myself. First, let us observe manner of entering presence of His Majesty. Let us suppose, Lord of Life, sits here. Here is Dor, how foul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your father took such a man once and burned out both his eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me something, Tung Ramong. A long time ago, I came to you and asked you to leave a life of peace and be the king. If I could ask you now to make that choice, what would your answer be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ships of Europe will crowd thicker on our seas, greedy for conquest. They have the power and the cunning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How can you hope to hold Siam together against enemies without and within? All that it can mean to you is that in the end you will die in a lost cause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have done you a sorry service to have brought you to this moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I call you, sir, so you will not be lowly like a woman. But you continue to talk like a woman, I no longer call you sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ma'am, why you not see? Why? He is two men. One part of him is king like his father was. Other part tries to be man of new world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The greedy men of Europe are at our door. They say Siam is barbaric land and so must be ruled by them. So King must learn all modern things now. He tries work too big for any man with no one to help. His own people are his enemies. They do not want change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes inside himself is enemy that cannot change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you no eyes to see? He does not live coldly with mind as I do, but with heart. With heart, men, as King must. And so is torn in two within himself. And to whom can he turn? Whom can he trust?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not today, ma'am. I'm here officially today. I have something I'm ordered to read to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A mournful event of death of said affectionate boy has caused great sorrow to his majesty and to royal family. Since this boy was beloved by all as a member of said family. But as sign of regret that events of such sorrowful nature


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Must be arriving to those deserving of better happiness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 12th of September is appointed as day of mourning for entire country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To observe same with fireworks and other ceremony, just as for member of royal family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nim Anna Owens shall bear title of Lady Kru Yai of Kingdom of Siam as mark of sad respect of said nation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It took him a long time to write it, men. He wrote it many times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems a long time ago, I tried to make you understand this man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me watching Jerry Rice all these years, I never thought the injury was anything bad because I never saw him get hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is spotless. Inside and out. So I approached him on that angle, and uh, and he told me about it. That he wants perfection in his life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] so hard to compensate for his humble beginnings to bring him up to a regal status. So he pushes himself every day to just go a little notch higher. So it'll never be said that he's gonna tumble back down here again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let this, our first message to our people be proclaimed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not as if we were doing a great and lordly thing, but only what is right and fitting. But from this hour, the ancient national custom, where basins on hands and knees is abolished. And all men shall stand before the king and before one another as men should do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let it be the spirit of this proclamation, that this shall be the first of many changes which we hope to bring about as soon as they are possible, as I believe my father, the late king, would wish us to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's Montana at the top of this game. Here comes Rice, in my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, then I'm making it up. I'm just picturing the movie poster with the giant too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, that's why people have been tuning in to Injust Like That.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know you're in for something good when you post on your story, like I post on my story about Lisa, like in the second episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when I looked into my DMs, the amount of people that I could see just wrote, just wait, or like, oh my god, just wait, like so many messages. I was like, ooh, this is when I know I'm in for something crazy and that everybody else has already watched.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? Yeah. I was gonna, I was gonna throw a spoiler. Sorry. Totally fine. I think at this point, like I said though, like we're gonna talk about it, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's totally fine. Now we can talk about it. Yep. And honestly, it happens in like the second episode. Stunning!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hissy fit that she had in that parking lot about Brian talking to, uh, uh, Raya. What's her name? Raya. Was so


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just vile, like vile, vile behavior, which just makes herself look so bad. Yep. And then the next episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, my antenna is up big time on this one. And I look, I don't know. We don't know what happens because we've only watched four episodes. So we'll see. We'll see. But like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Convenient timing to go on a show where you wanna pressure somebody to marry you and now all of a sudden you're pregnant? I- I didn't wanna be the one to say it, but part of me was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now hand up if she really is pregnant. We apologize. I apologize. I wish her happiness and healthiness. You know, especially like, bringing a baby is a very serious thing. Absolutely. But it is not, it would not be the first time that somebody has


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Use pregnancy to trap somebody. Absolutely. And the way she was behaving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This would get him to change his mind. Like the way she said it just made me think, mm, I don't know about this one. You should have seen my


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Send a shock through the rest of them because it totally fucked up. Who?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other people were gonna pick, you know, that just completely eliminated two people where I felt like, I felt like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brian and Raya may have been leaning towards each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Lisa and Trey may have been leading, like, I just felt like that totally spun around where they, now you really only have one choice. Because I felt like the other two,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roxanne and, I'm spacing out all their names, like they swapped also. Where it was like that, like I didn't think anybody was gonna jump into that one, but the other two could have been mixed more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a little confused by Roxanne, like I get it, you're a career woman, like, I totally respect that, but it's the only thing she's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, his name is Alex. Okay, Alex. But her original boyfriend is... No, I feel like it was an R name also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her reaction to that was like weird to me too. She's like, you're just showing me so much that you can be career driven and also want marriage. Like it's like, wait, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sometimes it has happened, like after the first season, remember the couple that they, they did like the dating and then they were like, oh, this is so not for us. Like, and he like proposed at the, at the choice. It's like, that's, I think when you realize like, oh wait,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You actually are the one I want to be with. Like sometimes it just feels like they don't like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Sometimes you're just not compatible. Yeah, exactly. And if, and if that... If that like business...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ambition is the word she kept using. Ambition. If that ambition is such a deal breaker for you, then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's just not the right match for you. Like I just think it's very unfair to continue to critique him and I still am spacing on his name and I don't want to Google it because I don't want to see spoilers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When, you know, he was saying when they met, like he was working at McDonald's, but like, he's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Transitioned into other jobs and doing other things, like... If you're gonna judge him on that, for like forever, what are you doing? You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Raya I feel bad for because I do think she has a lot of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I don't think necessarily it's that she doesn't love Trey and why she's afraid to get married. I think she has more...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had a conversation like made me so sour. She was like, well, what if I don't want kids?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It kinda seemed like maybe that stemmed from the experience that she had, like does she want to put herself through that again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally different story, cause sometimes it seems very clear that it's just like, not the right person. And sometimes it's like, okay, you have more of a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll jump in for my grade on the ultimatum then. I will give, I'll agree, I'll give, I'll give that a B plus as well. Episodes one through four. For both of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I finished Love Island USA, obviously we got Hannah and Marco on the episode, so uhm, I felt like that ended totally the way it was supposed to as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I really, I hope it works for a lot of these couples, you know? There's been, uh, I don't know, we, we asked Hannah and Marco about it, but there's been rumors too about like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People have been on Carmen and Kenzo because they're actually both from, they actually both live in Scottsdale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're like, uh, you know, they do like, oh my God, like we live like 10 minutes from each other. Like how have we never met? And the people were like, ooh, like we think you actually may have known each other. Like whatever. Um, and if that's the case, you know, America felt that way clearly because they finished it out. So, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I do, I, I, I hope that these couples make it work. They all like, they all left boyfriend-girlfriend. Like, it's kind of like a legit thing, where, you know, I hope that they actually really try and, uh, and make it work, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly, I thought the whole season was a good season. I will give...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did I watch? Oh, I watched the last two episodes of, I was catching up, the last two episodes of Heart Knocks, which I love and enjoy. It's been great. People are really invested in the Jets, obviously, so it's just been an interesting insight into what's been going on there. Uh, we're getting to that part of the season where like the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People get cut, and like that always makes me sad, cause it's just like, god these guys work so hard, and it's just like, it's a, you know, sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But is, uhm, I've very much been enjoying it. I'll give that a B as well. Good, good stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, I kinda think that's it. You know what's really on my, on my watch list that I have not watched is the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was not having the time to watch yet, but uhm, that's all I watched this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm more into it. I forgot because we didn't do this last week. Uhm, I'm, I think I've watched 10 episodes now. Who's your fave? I'm liking it, for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably Harvey. I'm Harvey gal. Yeah, I think Harvey's my friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've only watched up to 10 episodes, so that's where I'm at, but I will say I've definitely jumped more into it than I, like, initial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jump, but I have liked it. It is really like a good show to put on just to like chill and watch and like you're invested, but it's not, you're not like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's good. You don't need to like fully be paying attention, you know, kind of thing too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's tough, like, also to go see it again in the theater. It's another thing to watch it again, like, at home when you can, like, get up and walk around or pause it or, like, do you know? It's like, when you actually go sit in the theater and, like, fully have to watch and, like, can't be sitting on your phone in the movie theater, you know? Like, it's, it's, that's harder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to be, I think it's just an abundance of caution, you know, you gotta have the signs up because there are a lot of fucking sharks in the cave. I'll sneak up on ya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if you're in the water and you see a ton of seals hanging out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every single time you go there, there's a seal, like, you're swimming, like, next to them. But I didn't realize-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no truth in what they say about Mr. Wildeve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's for another day. I'll call again soon. And often if you'll allow me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apollo was the god of the sun, and every day he would drive the sun around the sky in his golden chariot from east to west.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Complained to Zeus about him. He said that because of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Cleopas, far fewer people were dying and his kingdom, the underworld was now half empty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To please his brother, Zeus then queued as Cleopas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apollo was very angry with Zeus for killing his son that he killed the one-eyed giant called the Cyclopis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cyclopes were admittedly ugly and bad tempered, but they had helped Zeus in his fight against the Titans, and Zeus had promised to protect them. So Zeus had to punish Apollo in some way for killing them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zeus sent Apollo down to earth to work for an ordinary servant for a king called Admetus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apollo's work was to look after the king's sheep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which gave him plenty of time to practice his music and singing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever he played, all the animals came out to listen, even animals such as the tiger and the deer that nobody could never live peacefully together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Admitters sent for Apollo and asked him to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All those who heard him were filled with wonder and felt sure that a god had come down among them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But admitters asked no questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shepherd and treated him with kindness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apollo served the king well, and when his time of service was over and Zeus called him back to Olympus, Apollo wished to return the king's kindness in some way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alcestis, but Alcestis' father King Pryors


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he went to the three fates who decide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were so drunk that they agreed that admitters could go on living forever. But they did have one condition. When the time came when a true post would cut the thread of his life, someone else might


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the time came when in the ordinary of course


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people loved their king, but not enough to die for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In all her young beauty, she went down into the underworld where no sunlight ever came. Her happy laughter was no longer heard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He paid too high a price for his happiness. He missed his beautiful young wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His life grew hateful to him, since each day only added to his sadness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like most Greeks, Admetus made it a rule to welcome strangers cheerfully, no matter what his personal situation might be. By chance, the hero Heracles, whom we will read about later, was passing through Admetus' kingdom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Admitters welcomed him and took good care of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heracles heard about Admetor's situation and was so grateful for his hospitality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's mother, Clemeny, was always telling him about his father, the Sun God Apollo. What she said was perfectly true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of his wonderful music, and of his high position among the gods. Fate never tired of hearing these stories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He became very proud of having a godfather, and both did of it to the other children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they only laughed at his stories. They said that if he was the son of a god, he should either prove it or be quiet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ran to his mother and asked her where he could find his father and perhaps get some proof so that the other children would believe him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the sun rises, he went as fast as he could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And got there just as Apollo was getting ready to drive his sun chariot across the sky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The letter was delivered and we were returning through a field where we saw a cart full of bricks. They were so heavy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the wheels of the cart were half buried in the soft ground and the horses could not move the cart at all. The man leading the horses was shouting and whipping them without stopping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we galloped towards the house of the brickmaker, Mr. Clay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe told him, his voice shaking with anger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did whatever he had to do. If he had to curse you out, he would curse you out. I played with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once we saw him try to throw the ball, we knew that hey, you know, he's not the man that he used to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I happen to know, gentlemen in competence, what Marlborough means to do. Here, gentlemen, is our revered commander's plan. Now to begin...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The main body of troops will not be over there in the west, but here in these trees in the east.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suppose I give you a list of vectors. The question is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In either case, we had to do the same thing, which was to look at this expression where you take a linear combination of the vectors and set it at zero. And then the question was,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it the case that forces all of the coefficients to be zero, in which case you got linearly independent, or could you find some non-trivial set of coefficients, some coefficients where at least one of them was non-zero, which would therefore give you linearly dependent? So, that's the scenario that we're looking at here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, let's give a specific example. I've got three different vectors, and the question is, are they linearly dependent or are they linearly independent?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna give a little bit of a shorthand here. I'm gonna call this the vector v1, this the vector v2, and this the vector v3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, now that I've named these three vectors, what I'm looking at is their linear combination. So I want to look at some coefficient times the first vector, a1, a1 times v1, plus a second coefficient, a2, times the second vector, v2, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A third coefficient a3 times a third vector b3. And what I want to do is I want to set


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of these equal to zero, and the question is, what am I going to get with my coefficients? Now, we should have seen something that looks like this before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we have is precisely a linear combination of vectors. And linear combinations of vectors we interpreted as being a matrix vector product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, what we have over here, this entire expression, is the same thing as the Matrix?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whose columns are the three different vectors, so the first column is v1, the second column is v2, and the third column is v3, multiplied by the vector


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that is, any time I have a linear combination, I can use the definition of the matrix vector product to rewrite that linear combination as some matrix times some particular vector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we're trying to claim that this is going to equal the vector zero, zero, zero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, let's actually do this, but for our particular choice of vectors. As in, what I'm gonna have if I substitute in for my three vectors is the matrix, first column is the first vector, minus 1, 0, 2. Second column is the second vector, minus 2, 3, minus 2, 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're wondering whether this can be equal to zero, zero, zero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't be confused by the way, sometimes in the past we've referred to the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Columns of the matrix A as being like the vector A1 and the vector A2 and the vector A3. This is not the case in this scenario. In this scenario, the coefficients, which are going to become the vector in our matrix, are just A1, A2, and A3, and the columns of the matrix are called V1, V2, and V3, three different things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Regardless, what we have now is just some linear system of equations, and I know how to solve this. This is a homogeneous system of linear equations. I can even go and put it into its augmented matrix form. That's where I just copy out the coefficient matrix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I'm going to make an augmented matrix by putting in the constants, which are all zeros over here. So this is an augmented system, and then I know how to deal with these augmented matrices, I'm going to do a bunch of elementary row operations, and I'm going to put it into row echelon 4.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I haven't made any mistakes, I've got into a correct row echelon form.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what I want to notice is that this particular system has a leading 1 in every single row and column. In other words, it has a unique solution. So if I just look down here at the third row, what I'm left with is minus 1 times a3


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is equal to zero, and that tells me that a3, my third variable here, has to be zero. So I'm gonna get that a3 is equal to zero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then if I look at the second row, we're also gonna have that 1 times a2, there's no a3s around, is equal to 0, and that's gonna tell me that a2


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna be zero and likewise for the same basic idea. So two will be a one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, all three of my variables, a1, a2, and a3, turn out to be zero. But, if I go back to what I was doing at the beginning, I started with this linear combination where the a1, the a2, and the a3 were the scalars in the linear combination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asserted the linear combination was zero, and what I have deduced out of that is that my three different variables, the a1, the a2, and the a3, my three scalars, are all zero. And so, it's gonna be linearly independent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, if we'd chosen a different example, where I didn't have a leading one going down in every single column,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We would have put in a parameter, we have infinitely many different non-zero solutions. We'd have the zero solution as well, for sure. But we'd also have this infinitely many different non-zero solutions, and therefore, we would have gotten it being literally dependent. But we don't have a free column in this situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only have the unique solution, and if it's homogeneous, and it's unique, the only possibility is zero, because the zero solution is always a solution to a homogeneous system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now we should know if I give you any list of vectors, you put them into their matrix form, you put it down into its row echelon form, you solve that system, and that will tell you whether it's linearly independent, when there's only just the one trivial solution, or linearly dependent, when you can find families of non-trivial solutions.
