[Assistant] From judgment to curiosity is, is a brilliant I think, brilliant take away from this talk apart from many others also. But so, curiosity means okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So rather than, if I get angry, I am simply a short tempered person or this person is such an arrogant disrespectful person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to be acknowledged, I want to be understood, I want to be, what is it actually?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the idea of emotions as information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can, by that we not only, we are not suppressing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the next point was about humility, honesty and integrity. So you said that humility is a very high virtue. We can start with honesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If somebody has disrespected me and I feel hurt by that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So humility doesn't mean that I try to just simply efface myself out of existence and think that I don't matter at all. After all it is I who am going to use, I am who am going to serve Krishna. So like if somebody is stepping on my foot, then I can't just wish that away. So there is outer work and inner work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inner work, say if I feel hurt, if somebody insulted me, I understand that I am different from my false ego and I situate myself


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Myself as separate from the false ego, so then that particular insult will not hurt that much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, honesty also is sometimes difficult.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we could say humility is at a high pedestal, honesty is a little lower and what is much more accessible for us is integrity. Integrity means


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I evaluate, maybe it is because I have taken too many things or because I am not good to do these things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could be so, rather than putting self-care into an entirely different category.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And being paranoid about it, we see self care like everything else. I can get obsessed about eating delicious prasad. I can get obsessed about uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About how people are treating me, I can get obsessed about, even you said it, there can be like prestigious obsessions, I can get obsessed about austerity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You talked about concluded talking about how your book is going to come soon and you also have this course where devotees can connect with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is wonderful. Thank you for your time and your lively, cheerful spirit. It brings this whole podcast to life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think it's a, every book is like an evolving process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I read one author's, I read one book on writing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are simply the last drafts of manuscripts that were dragged by the publishers from the authors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will be honoured to have you again in future sometime and we can go deeper into some of the subjects we have discussed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom so generously. You used the word fun, it was like very serious stuff we discussed, but the way you discussed it was very light heartedly and cheerfully. I think that's also an art, because otherwise it can become very disconcerting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did a lot of good questions as well as you provided us your associations. Thank you very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the only mound of this type along a 30 mile stretch of coast here. So this is clearly a very significant place. It has survived in the landscape. It's likely to be much bigger in the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so underneath the shell, the shell is pointing to a seasonal occupation site as part of a seasonal round of living on the shore here. We have other shell middens on the shoreline here, but they're inches or centimeters deep. This is a monumental mitten, if you like, unlike any other one along the shoreline here. So it's, it's, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a particular site and has probably a sacral or sacred dimension to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hopefully we'll get to explore in time as the site has been eroded now by, by the elements. Well it looks like a quartzite now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beveled edge on it there. It's a kitchen midden, which is a site that was built, or the result of cooking here, between six and maybe eight thousand years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See the created by early farmers here are the preceding population of hunter-gatherers living on the shore of Galway Bay here. So we're right along the Atlantic coast, the Arden Islands out behind us in this very bouldery granite landscape, very infertile ground. So fish resources and shellfish resources, hugely important. So some of the earliest sites in Europe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the earliest investigated archaeological sites in Europe are Shell Mounds from the very north of Denmark. But over the last 200 years, there have been investigations carried out on Shell Mounds. But this is a classic example of one here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we suspect, it is a Mesolithic or a transition site between the Mesolithic hunter-gatherer world. This is a really important question in European archaeology. Did hunter-gathers build the Neolithic? Did they adopt the Neolithic? Or are they displaced by early farming groups coming in from the continent?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back everybody to another chapter of a court of wings and ruin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Free water with the exclamation point or the added emphasis. Getting a sip of my coffee today before we get into last time, which last time


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh, Phyra literally played them so hard. Poor little Lucian was like, oh man, I'm already mated, but let me, you know, help out the sister.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of my mate who has also been my friend for such a long time. And then Tamlin comes in and sees them being all sweet to each other. And he's like, Oh man. You horn dog. I'm horny too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This isn't, this isn't right. I gotta beat you up now. But he didn't. She got him away. She started a little bit of that, uhm, what would you call it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I'm not gonna think of the word because it's gonna take too long. Fill in the word there. Leave a comment of the word if you know what I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or a synonym of it, if it's not the exact one I was thinking of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otherwise, let's see what happens in chapter six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A set of keys to the estate gates had gone missing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But after last night's incident, Tamlyn didn't appear to care. Breakfast was silent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Hibern Royals sullen at being kept waiting to see so long to see the second cleft in the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Jerry, and for once, too tired to do anything but shovel meat and eggs into his hateful mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tamlin and Lucian, it seemed, had spoken before the meal. But the latter made a point to keep a healthy distance from me. To not look at or speak to me. As if still needing to convince Tamlin of our innocence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I debated asking Jurian outright if he'd stolen the keys from whatever guard had lost them. But the silence was a welcome reprieve. Until, Bianche breezed in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carefully avoiding acknowledging me as if I was indeed the blinding sun that had been stolen from her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She made a show of realizing the Highborne Royals were present. Listening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried not to snort at the oh-so-nervous glance she threw their way, then to Tamlin. The next words were no surprise whatsoever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To remind them that she did in fact have sway here with Tamlin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Hibern too might want to remain on her good side, considering the information she bore. But I was cruel enough to say sweetly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we can trust our allies in Highburn to go to war with us, then we can trust them to use discretion. Go ahead, Iante.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She didn't so much as look in my direction, but now caught between outright insult and politeness. Tamlin weighed our company against Deontay's posture and said, let's hear it. Her white throat bobbed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jury enrolled his eyes and went back to his bacon. Then tell the gardeners, Brannock said. Returning to her own food, Dagdan snickered into his cup of tea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an effort not to glance to Lucian to see if he also noticed the two eager gleam in their eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even Tamlin loosed a sigh, as if he saw it for what it was. An attempt to regain some ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps a scheme to poison the earth and then miraculously heal it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eonthe went on, pressing a silver adorned hand to her chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I'd gotten under her skin. I'd been wondering what she'd do after yesterday's solstice, after I robbed her of her moment in power. But this? Clever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hid my smirk down deep, said gently, Eonthe, perhaps it is a case for the groundskeepers. She stiffened, alas, facing me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you're playing the game, I itch to tell her. But you have no idea that every choice you made last night and this morning were only steps I nudged you toward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I jerked my chin toward the royals, then Lucian. We're heading out this afternoon to survey the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, if the problem remains, when we return in a few days, I hope you look into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those silver ringed fingers curled into loose fists at her side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, like the true viper she was, Yanthey said to Tamlin,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She looked at me and Lucian, the assessment too lingering to be casual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A faint, low headache was already forming, made worse with every word out of her mouth. I'd been up too late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't need an escort. Let him unravel the layers of defensiveness in the statement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Durian snorted. Starting to doubt our good intentions, Highlord. Tamlin snarled at him. Careful. I placed a hand flat on the table. I'll be fine with Lucian in the sentries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lucian seemed inclined to sink into his seat and disappear forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I surveyed Dagdan and Brannag and smiled a bit. I can defend myself if it comes to that, I said to Tamlin. The Damati smiled back at me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hadn't felt another touch on my mental barriers, or the ones I'd been working to keep around as many people here as possible. The constant use of my power was wearing on me, however.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being away from this place for four or five days would be a welcome relief. Especially as Ianthe murmured to Tamlin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Waited for whatever nonsense was about to come out of that pouty mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to blink to debate my reaction. To opt for leaning back in my chair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shoulders curling inward, hauling up those images of Claire, of rise with those ash arrows through the wings. Any sort of way to dredge my scent and fear. Have you news? I whispered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brannig and Dagdan looked very interested at that. The priestess opened her mouth, but Jurion cut her off, drawing. There is no news. Their borders are secure. Bryson would be a fool to push his luck by coming here. I stared at my plate, the portrait of Valterre.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She faced Hamlin, the morning sun catching in the jewel atop her head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Followed by a wave of roaring that drowned out nearly every thought, every self preserving instinct. I could barely hear over the bellowing in my blood, my bones, but the words, the offer, a cheap attempt at snaring me. I pretended not to hear, not to care, even as I waited and waited for Tamlin's reply. When Tamlin answered, his voice was low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could have sworn there was something like remorse. Remorse and shame in his words. Heonthe only tisked. Too bad. He might have paid handsomely for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My limbs ached with the effort of not leaping over the table to smash her head into the marble floor. But I said to Tamlin, soothing and gentle, I'll be fine out there. I touched his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brushing my thumb over the back of his palm, held his stare. Let's not start down this road again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I pulled away, Tamley merely fixed on Lucian with a look, any trace of that guilt gone. His claws slid free, embedding in the scar-flect wood of his arm's chair. Be careful. None of us pretended it was anything but a threat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a two day ride, but it took us only a day to get there with winnowing, walking, winnowing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could manage a few miles at a time, but Dagdan was slower than I'd anticipated, given that he had to carry a sister and Jurian. I didn't fault him for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With each of us burying another, the drain was considerable. Lucian and I both bore a century.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Minor Lord's sons who had been trained to be polite and watchful. Supplies, as a result, were limited, including tents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the time we made it to the cleft in the wall, darkness was falling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The few supplies we'd hauled also had encumbered our winnowing through the world. And I'll let the sentries erect the tents for us. Ever the lady keen to be waited on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our dinner around the small fire was near silent. None of us bothering to speak, save for Jurian, who questioned the sentries endlessly about their training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The twins retreated to their own tent after they picked at the meat sandwiches we packed, frowning at them as if they were full of maggots instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Jurion wandered off into the woods soon after, claiming he wanted a walk before he retired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hauled myself into the canvas tent when the fire was dying out. The space barely big enough for Lucian and me to sleep shoulder to shoulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His red hair gleamed in the faint firelight a moment later as he shoved through the flaps and swore, maybe I should sleep out there. I rolled my eyes. Please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A wary considering glance as he knelt and removed his boots. You know, Tamlin can be sensitive about things. He can also be a pain in my ass. I snapped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And slithered under the blankets. If you yield to him on every bit of paranoia and territorialism, he'll just make it worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stiffened, tugging the blanket higher onto my shoulders. No, I don't want to be touched like that. Not for a while. His silence was heavy. Sad. I hated the lie. Hated it for how filthy it felt to wield it. I'm sorry, he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The King of Hibern crafted his bargain with Tamlin too cleverly, too clearly. Magic bound them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Magic will strike him if he does not allow Hibern into these lands. In what way? Kill him? Lucian's sigh ruffled my hair. He will claim his own powers, maybe kill him. Magic is all about balance. That's why he couldn't interfere with your bargain with Ryzen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the person who tries to sever the bargain faces consequences. If he'd kept you here...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The magic that bound you to rise might have come to claim his life as payment for yours. Or the life of someone else he cared about. It's old magic. Old and strange. It's why we avoid bargains unless it's necessary. Even the scholars at the day court don't know how it worked. Believe me, I've asked. For me? You asked them for me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I went last winter to inquire about breaking your bargain with Rise. Why didn't you tell me? I, we didn't want to give you false hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we didn't dare let Reisen get wind of what we were doing, in case he found a way to interfere. To stop it. So Iantai pushed Tamlin to Highburn instead. It was frantic. The scholars at the day court worked too slowly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I begged him for more time, but you'd already been gone for months. Wanted to act, not wait, despite that letter you sent. Because of that letter you sent, I finally told him to go ahead with it after, after that day in the forest. I turned onto my back, staring at the sloped ceiling of the tent. How bad was it? I asked quietly. You saw your room. Trashed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The study is bedroom. He killed the sentries who had been on guard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After he got the last bit of information from him, he executed them in front of everyone in the manor. My blood chilled. You didn't stop him. I tried. I begged him for mercy. He didn't listen. He couldn't listen. The sentries didn't try to stop him either. They didn't dare, Fyra. He's a high lord. He's a different breed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wondered if he'd say the same thing if he knew who I was. We were backed into a corner with no options. None. It was either go to war with the Night Court and Hibern. Ally with Hibern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let them try to stir up trouble, then use that alliance to our own advantage further down the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if they're now our allies, I mumbled. I still hate them. A snort. Me too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blinding sunlight cut into the tent and I hissed. The order was drowned out by Lucian's snarl as they sat up. Ow! He ordered durian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who looked us over once, sneered and stalked away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd rolled onto Lucian's bedroll at some point. Any schemes indeed second to most, my most pressing demand, warm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I had no doubt Jurion would tuck away the information to throw in Tamlin's face when we returned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'd shared a tent and it had been very cozy upon wakening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I washed in the nearby stream, my body stiff and aching from a night on the ground, with or without the help of a bedroll.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Braneg was prowling for the stream by the time I'd finished. The princess gave me a cold, then smiled. I'd pick baronson too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They stared at the princess beneath the lowered brows. She shrugged, her smile growing. Autumn court males have fire in their blood. And they fuck like it too. I suppose you know from experience. A chuckle. Why do you think I had so much fun in the war? I didn't bother to hide my disgust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lucian caught me cringing at him when her words were played for the tenth time an hour later while we hiked a half mile toward the crack in the wall. What? He demanded. I shook my head, trying not to imagine Elaine subject to that fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing, I said, just this jury and sore head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were both moving at his barked curse and then broke into a run at the sound of a sword whining free of its sheath. Leaves and branches whipped at me, but then we were at the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The invisible, horrible marker humming and throbbing in my head and staring right at us through the hole. We're three children of the blessed. And that, my friends, is the end of chapter six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Children of the Blessed, are they really that worried about them? Cause they're still, I'm pretty sure, humans, right? They're humans that have tried to come over and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Want to be like servants to the fae or hopefully become fae or something like that or live their lifestyle? Not sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't know why Egerian would even bother getting his sword out. He could probably just tear them a new one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With his newfound, like, semi-fei powers or whatever he has again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uh, you know, I don't know. We'll have to, I mean, there's obviously a reason for it. And we'll just have to see what that reason is. So y'all, make sure, stay beautiful. Make sure to stay hydrated and make sure


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To see, to listen in, to see us in that next chapter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need a pan to cook it in, so I asked for another pan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he, this foolish boy, took the key to my cupboard in my laboratory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take a pan from the store, not my laboratory. Do you know what danger you are in? No, you don't know. Well, I do know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next to the pan you took was next to a blue glass bottle, which contains a white powder, and on which I had written the word dangerous. Do you know what it is? Arsenic? A poisonous chemical?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I must speak with you about the matter we discussed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your husband was in quite a terrible situation when you were ill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Particularly when those travel bags and suitcases of yours arrive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course. Now that you are healthy, he mustn't be worried. He'll have his patience to take care of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be a good idea if he gave you the expenses to handle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be quite simple with the power of attorney.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would pay the bills and he wouldn't be worried with such matters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and I could handle these little matters ourselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 5 A Terrible Death When Tess woke up the next morning, there were no fancy clothes for her to wear. It was Monday, the beginning of the work week. No visitors came. When she woke up,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess was surrounded by her innocent brothers and sisters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Tess thought about how she had lost her innocence, she grew depressed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She saw a long, difficult, and lonely road ahead of her with nothing to hope for. Tess wanted to die. Over the next few weeks, Tess slowly cheered up. She even went to church on Sundays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess loved the old songs she knew so well, and she lost herself in the beautiful music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She sat in a dark, quiet corner of the church and listened to the minister. Soon, village people noticed her at church. They whispered about Tess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She shared with the other Derby Field children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She watched the wind, snow and rain from her window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She admired sunsets and full moons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many people thought she had gone away because she only went out at night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess liked to walk in the woods and fields because she had no fear of the dark. She only feared seeing other people. In the lonely hills she found peace, but she felt guilt


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess thought Nature was crying over her shame. When the wind howled, she thought Nature was angry with her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She did not understand that even though society thought she had broken one of its rules, she was still innocent. She had not hurt the natural world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A group of men and women walked down the road to reap the day's harvest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three horses pulled a reaping machine through the field and cut down the corn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The places where small animals lived also disappeared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The girls wore large hats to keep the sun off their faces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they wore gloves to protect their hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The prettiest girl wore a pale pink jacket. She looked at no one while she worked. When she stood up and rested, you could see her beautiful face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was young with dark eyes and long, thick hair. The girl was Tess Derbyfield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her life had changed so much that she lived like a stranger in her own village. That morning Tess often looked at the hill. At 11 o'clock children came from over the hill. One child carried a baby. The men and women stopped their work. Tess blushed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She sat away from the others and took the baby from the girl. She opened her dress and fed her baby. She was very embarrassed. The men were kind and looked away while the women talked about other things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess played with the baby and then kissed it so violently that it cried. It seemed that Tess could not stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She loves that baby, even though she says she hates it and wishes they were both dead, said a woman who had been watching tests. She'll get used to it. This happens to many girls, said another. It wasn't her fault.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was forced to have sex that night in the chase. People could hear her crying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Surely the gentleman who did this to her would have been punished if someone had walked by. It always happens to the pretty ones. Ugly women are perfectly safe, said another woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess did not know the women were talking about her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had spent months crying about what had happened in the forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then she decided the past had to be forgotten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Life went on, and soon she and her problem would be forgotten. Tess mostly feared what people said about her. She thought they talked about her constantly, but few people talked about her. Even so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess would have been happier with no other people around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was unhappy because she believed she had been rejected by society. Tess wanted to be useful. She wanted to work. So she helped gather the harvest. Tess ate her lunch very fast. She worked again until dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She discovered that her baby had grown ill during the afternoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was so small that the doctor was not surprised about his sickness Tess was still shocked It was obvious that her baby was dying


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She forgot the shame she usually felt about his birth and only wanted him to stay alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an even greater problem because the baby had not been baptized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess did not have well developed ideas about religion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She didn't care about what happened to her after she died.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess realized that her baby was close to death. Suddenly, she had an idea. She woke her brothers and sisters. She poured water into a bowl and asked them to kneel beside it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They put their hands together as if they were in church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sleepy children silently watched Tess, not knowing what to say. She wore a long white nightgown and her long hair hung in her face. She looked hopeful. Her beautiful face looked pure. Are you going to baptize him? One of her sisters asked. What will his new name be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess remembered the story of Adam and Eve in the Bible. Because Adam and Eve had sinned, God had made them unhappy forever. Tess looked at the baby. Your new name is Sorrow, she said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess dipped her hand into the water and drew a cross on the baby's chest with her finger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She repeated words she had heard in church, asking God to protect her baby from evil. Candlelight was shining in her eyes. The children looked at her amazed. She seemed like a god to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorrow's fight against evil was not long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because she no longer worried that he would go to hell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess wondered if sorrow could be buried at the church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She went to the minister's house that night to talk with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sir, my baby was ill. I wanted you to baptize him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But my drunken father would not allow it, so I baptized him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is he safe just like he would have been if you had baptized him? Tess asked. The minister wanted to say no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had done his job, but he liked Tess's strong will. My dear, it is just the same. He lied. Then can we bury him at the church? The minister felt trapped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was difficult to answer Tess's questions. It's different, said the Minister. I'm sorry, but we cannot. Tess wept.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please, have pity on me and tell me the truth. Will my baby go to hell?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The minister forgot the strict rules of his job. It will be the same he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the baby was put into a cheap wooden box. It was carried to the church at night. In the corner of the churchyard


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a corner where drunks and unbaptized babies and people who committed suicide were buried. Sorrow was buried there too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It cost Tess a penny and she had to buy the gravedigger a beer. At night, when no one could see her, Tess put a cross on Sorrow's grave. Tess did not know what to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She lived with her parents and took care of the children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She made them close and worked when she could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then she thought about another date, her death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was then that Tess became a complicated woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She often looked thoughtful and her voice was serious. Sometimes she sounded terrible. Her eyes grew larger. She changed into a very beautiful woman. Even though she had suffered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had gained confidence from her terrible experiences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the people in the village had forgotten her trouble. Even so, she did not think she could be happy in Marlott.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trying to be a part of the rich Durberville family now seemed foolish and shameful to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She believed that her family would never be respected again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She only hoped to find a place with no family connections and no bad memories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wanted to escape from Marlet and lose her past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Tess looked for jobs far from Marlott.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She heard that a dairy farmer to the south needed to hire a milkmaid for the summer. She decided to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though Tess said she would forget her ancestors, she was interested in the dairy farm because it was near the old Durberville lands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She hoped that some good would come of her living on her ancestor's land. Tess began to hope again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm the bad guy, huh? And what's that supposed to make you, the hero?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is like powerful. Damn, he towers gold!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are doomed to Paris! Oh come on! Since when does the damn 11th have an honest-to-god strongman as a ringer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is what I was able to go through and this is my thinking on it. So it could be a little different than some of the family and that's just fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that'll be heading into Monday. So you'll be seeing a lot of that happen. Monday will be a big day where you see it. Of course, Tuesday is the day when they're supposed to have everything done, where they got the Roth trimmed down to 53 people will know, uh, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For certain, by that period of time, what goes on, it will know who's on the 53 man roster. We are all, we also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To a degree we'll learn who should be on the practice squad, you know, most of our practice squad, whoever we release, when then have to clear waivers and the Saints will be, you know, reclaim them and then they'll be a part of the practice squad. So that's something that'll more than likely happen, you know, after the game into Monday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not too much popping with the smoke, man. You know what I'm saying? You know, going on. He didn't kind of distinguish himself. He had a couple of plays during...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see, we'll get more of, of a guy like Smoke Monday onto the team because we have a couple of guys that should be free agents next year depending on which, which way they tend to go with this thing. So yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smoke Monday is definitely smoked on Tuesday. All right. There you go. All right. All right. All right. Molly mall was popping fam says breaking news. Big low, still hiding under. Let me tell you something fam. Uh, shout out to you, Molly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me tell you something, Atlanta Falcons people are not very happy and the Carolina Panthers people are not very happy. But listen, I told the Carolina Panthers family, they, a lot of the family members of this to the stream. I told them, I said, listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to be patient because see their windows, you know, and, and they got kind of a little peeve with me to the Carolina Panthers family members. When I told them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, you know, listen, y'all know y'all kind of win thirsty. Remember I told them that they will win thirsty. It's like, hold on, hold on, hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I was saying was, you know, they're wind deprived. I guess that goes over a little bit better than telling them they're thirsty for wind, right? So they're wind deprived. And this wind depre, this wind depravity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, won't go away entirely this year. It's like you, you got a rookie quarterback there. You know, the guy hasn't never played at this level before. He played really well in college, but it's a whole nother level here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys are fast and the coordinators are smarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The talent is overall, it's a whole nother level here. He has to have time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be able to acclimate to all of that. So this year I would not put the pressure, remember he's already a first round draft pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have an offensive line issues. He was taking shots during the preseason. I was telling him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, listen, y'all have to be able to kind of, you know, chill out with it. You know, don't put too much pressure on and ultimately we'll see what happens here going forward. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it is what it is. So, you know, it's tough sledding right now, but you know, I still say it'll be a competitive NFC South.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, Ken, you too. You shout out to you fam. Good morning. Appreciate you for being here, fam. Much love. God's appointed one shout out to you. Much love. Appreciate y'all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're very happy, man. Bryce Young is gonna really help the Carolina Panthers nation. He will take it to the next level. It's just not this year. I told him that. I was like, listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you have a rookie, even Sean Payton, Bill Parcells, all of them say when you got a rookie at a certain position, you can count on it being at a loss. If you got a rookie there, they consider it as a loss until he knows what he's doing, especially at the most important position as the quarterback position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a guy there that's a rookie. He don't know nothing about, you know, all of that stuff, the speed of the game and all this. It takes time. So I'm not saying, you know, this year they'll win some games, but I don't think they go to the next level until next year when he gets it, you know, a full year under his belt. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're happy there cause they're a little bit wind deprived, you know, and I understand that man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll let me jump into that fam. Let me get y'all my article right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It took me all damn honor to work on it, but I'm, I got it done for y'all. All right. New Orleans Saints, final roster projection 2.0. And remember we did one, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it was a while ago, at least several months back that, you know, we did one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it, it unchanged to a degree. And who makes the final 53 man roster? This is my take, my projection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On it, uh, to see what, you know, who does what. So, as New Orleans Saints prepare to face off against the Texans in the final regular season game, we seize this moment to provide our ultimate roster projection and anticipation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the upcoming 23-24 NFL season, the Saints find themselves in contention for various positions heightening the significance of the concluding preseason match and shaping their final lineup. Below is our definitive


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously Derek Carr is the star of Jameis and Jake Hayner makes the squad, my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breakdown goals, quarterback composition remains consistent with the Saints commencing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The season with three quarterbacks on the roster. So I have Carr, I have Winston, and I have Jake Hayner. I don't think the Saints, when the Saints picked up Hayner, I don't think Jake Hayner starts the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the, the, the year on the practice squad, I think Jake Haner showed enough where he will be an active quarterback on his roster. He'll be the third string guy learning the position with Carr as a starter and James is the backup if something goes wrong. So I got three there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Running back, so of course we know Elvin's here, Jamal Williams, Kendre Miller, Ellis Merriweather to me, and Adam Printers is the fullback in the matchup. So break down with this one, would start, would start running back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elvin Kamar serving the three game suspension. The Saints opt for a three man running back lineup. Notably Kamar suspension does not count against the final 53 man roster, affording Ellis Merriwether a place on the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I thought the vet, going with the veteran, but man, the saints really are impressed with Ellis Merriwether. Remember, this is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My projections of what I think they're going to do. So I'm thinking the Saints are looking at Ellis Merriwether over Darrell Williams and the fact that Darrell Williams got dinged up and Ellis Merriwether didn't. You know, you want to see more of, of Williams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think we'll probably get an opportunity to see him in the matchup against the Texans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dallas Merriwether has been sturdy and consistent for the training camp and in the preseason. Even showing him he can catch the ball out the backfield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see that? So that's, this is a big thing for the saints and they've gained confidence in Ellis Merriwether. And of course it'll be easier. He's a cheaper version than Darrell Williams. I know they might go with the vet, but like I said, they're feeling pretty comfortable out by Ellis Merriwether and we'll see. Remember the saints, remember from the historical standpoint when you're dealing with the black and gold, remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the Saints are always been good with these undrafted running backs. You know, you won't go back in the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Chris Ivory, or, or, or, or, or Kyron, uh, what's his name, Kyron, is it Robinson, or, uh, I forget, see, I don't think it's Kyron Robinson, Kyrie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or was it? Y'all put it in the chat. I forgot, but anytime we get Andre, even Pia Thomas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of our drafted guys, we always seem to find really good, talented backs to bring onto the roster. So Ellis Merriwether could continue that trend going. All right now, this is the kicker right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause at first I was talking about 5 wide receivers and then I said to myself, man,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was doing the breakdown and I was thinking about it, I had to go six wide outs. That's right. Six of them, fam. I had to go six wide outs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got Michael Thomas, Chris Olavi, Rashid Shahid, Ait Perry, Shaq Davis, and kick returner, Lynn Bowden Jr. The first three are no surprise, we know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] strong in these last two performances, how he's been showing up catching the ball at his highest point, uh, just doing phenomenal work. I just think we need to keep him on the act of roster. Shaq Davis, A.T. Perry, two big physical wide receivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That showed a lot of potential in the returner and Lin Balding Jr. Now the, now the reason why I'm going with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see, with the breakdown, it says, while the first three receivers expect the selections, our projection sees six receivers securing spots on the active roster. The remaining trio of A.T. Perry, Shaq Davison, Returnman, Lynn Bowden Jr. exemplify


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To have Rashid Shahid as a kick returner or a punt returner or return man, period. So I have Lynn Bowden Jr. there to handle those abilities so Rashid Shahid can focus on what he does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like man, I want to get me a veteran in there in some kind of way, but I cannot deny the talent of A.T. Perry and Shaq Davis, man. You know, it is what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I certainly we, let's keep going tight ends. We got four. This is, you know, not no big whoop right here. Jawan Johnson, Foster Monroe, Jimmy Johnson, Jimmy Johnson, Jimmy Graham and Taysom Hill. So you got Johnson, Monroe, Graham and Hill as our guys. The selection of the four tight ends includes Johnson, Monroe, Graham and Taysom Hill constitutes a well-defined and versatile unit that is unrivaled in the NFL. There is no group of tight ends in the entire NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That are more versatile and dynamic than the pair, than the group, the group the saints have put together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, this is, Jawan Johnson, I call him the NFL's best kept secret. Foster Monroe, a sturdy solid veteran tight end. Jimmy Graham is at, even at his age, he's still phenomenal. And then Taysom Hill is just the utility knife that you move him all around, do whatever you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I mean, you had a very versatile tight end group. Offensive line looks like this. Ryan Ramcheck, Trevor Penning, Andrews Pete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eric McCoy, Cesar Ruiz, and then the backups of James Hurst, Nick Seldivari, Max Garcia, and Storm Morton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breakdown while the core offensive off the core offensive lineman and swing offensive player roles are evident. The final choice choices encompass Nick sell to vary the fourth round draft pick offensive lineman storm Norton to tackle any experience mass Garcia who serves as a backup center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There of course going, you don't see Kelvin Throck, you don't see in the starting, you don't see Throckmorton, you don't see Landon Young. I think ultimately that the, uh, the team takes, uh, you know, those guys as opposed to, you know, that you, you know, of course having them. I think Kelvin Throckmorton to me has kind of plateaued to a degree. Uh, I don't see, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Landon Young is a guy that moves in here and I think it's unfortunate that Trey Turner got hurt because I think Trey Turner could have really helped us out, but that's how I see the offensive line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brian Breesey and Malcolm Roach breakdown defensive line configuration comprises an exceptional assembly of talent featuring versatile players capable of making impact plays across the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're adding Carl, Cam Jordan, Carl Grandison, Peyton Turner, Passenger, and Foskey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a phenomenal group of defensive ends. And of course we know that they're going to move some of these guys around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Passing Yo, we've seen, uh, during practice the other day that Passing Yo kicked inside when they went to the NASCAR package. Gail, uh, Kyle Sanders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's going to start with Nate Sheppard there. We know Brian Brucie eventually is going to move into the starting lineup. Love how he's been playing and Malcolm Roach has been sturdy. So the Saints have been an exceptional defensive line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well. So a couple of the guys we talk about like Jack Heflin and, uh, Jaren Cage and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Nico Lalo, some of them guys, just unfortunately they don't, they just dealing with a very deep, uh, defense of, of line and I don't think they, uh, make it, they'll end up on a practice squad if they clear waivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's there. Now let's move to the linebackers. The Mario Davis, Pete Werner, Jalen Smith, Zach Vaughn, and DeMarco Jackson are my linebackers there. So we add them there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's actually not six, that's actually five. So I got five guys there. Breakdown, DeMario Davis and Pete Warner are established members of the linebacker corps. Jalen Smith's performance secures his position on the team, while Bowen and DeMarco Jackson's complete the linebacker ensemble. Now I know, uh, some people believe that Zach Bowen should be released. I just don't think the Sinks release Zach Bowen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, you know, I think, you know, you, you have the five there and then of course you're going to end up having guys like, uh, Nephi Sewell and, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, perhaps, and for the orgy, those guys end up on the practice squad. So if something happens, you can bring them in. But no doubt about a lot of people want to cut Zach Bond. I thought about cutting Zach Bond, but I was like, that's not what the Saints going to do. They're not going to cut Zach Bond. They're not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's just, just what it is. Let's move to the secondary, to the cornerbacks, Maw, Sean, Lattie, Daddy, Lattimore, Paulson, Adiboh, Alanti, Taylor, and Bradley, Roby. I got four cornerbacks. There's like only four Q. Wow. You only have four and you'll see in just a moment. Breakdown, cornerback, contingent, incompetent, Lattimore, Adiboh, Taylor, and Bradley, Roby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lonnie Johnson Jr. can contribute here as well, and that's why I have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The four guys, remember Lonnie Johnson plays corner and safety and the Saints will value that if it comes down to if they have a spot that they want to add some talent there. So Lonnie Johnson does help out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lonnie Johnson Jr. and Yugo Amade. So I got Yugo Amade, the special team guy working there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, and, uh, Johnny Johnson Jr. doing his thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, from the safety and corner back room, he has that duality, that versatility. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breakdown, a safety position welcomes in the mix of seasoned players and promising young talent, including Tyron Matthew, Marcus May, Jordan Howard, JT Gray, Lonnie Johnson Jr., and Hugo Amadi. May's suspension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Result is in the opening potential for Jonathan Abram or Smoke Monday to further strengthen the safety ranks. Now what could go on here if we talk about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The safety position is obvious because we know that Marcus May, uh, was hit with prob- probation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NFL has not given its, uh, discipline yet to Marcus May. You could expect that happen in this upcoming week. You better believe it. We already know Elton Kamara is going to be three, uh, three games out. I'm looking at Marcus May being three games out too with the DUI. We'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that does provide the saints with extra value in the safety room if they need to. They've done all of this in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps, we'll see Smoke Monday, perhaps a Smoke Monday, all that Jonathan Abreu can fit there, uh, you know, that can come in there and make some stuff pop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Special teams, let's look at the special teams. Uh, right now, Will Lutz is my kicker. Blake Gilligan and lone snapper Zach Wood. Breakdown special team trio, uh, comprises Will Lutz as the consistent kicker. Blake Gilligan as the proficient punter and Zach Wood as the lone snapper rounding out the specialized unit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, we talk about, you know, it's no, it's no competition in my mind between the kickers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know the guys have been kicking, but you got an established NFL veteran kicker versus a rookie kicker in the NFL. That's no competition, especially to me. If he's not, if he's missing kicks badly or if he's not showing confidence, then that might be something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's on one year deal, he's a one year deal player here and right now how difficult it is to find really good kickers in the NFL, you're not going to relinquish, relinquish Will Lutz. Aaron, like I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can still release Blake Roupe and he clears wave as we put him on the practice squad or we can do a, you know, we can pull a Blake Gilligan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If something happens, he might end up getting dinged up in the game and then end up, we end up putting them on the IR.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'll save them, you know, for the entire season or, you know, if something was to happen to Will, we could still have our cake and eat it too with these kickers. And that's how I look at it. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, that's the breakdown right there. And then in summation of this, the New Orleans Saints possess a distinctive and formidable roster, brimming with depth and exceptional talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the optimal health, this assembly could potentially dominate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sweeping up the Atlanta Falcons. I'm thinking we can get wins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sweeping, definitely the sweeping of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This could be a year of the br- of the big brump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can break out, we can have the year of the Big Brum and the NFC South of Saints, in my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are from a talent perspective are, are I ain't gonna say far better than our adversaries because they're very competitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the Atlanta game will be something to watch out for to be fun for the Carolina game, the Tampa big game. We'll see. I think we got them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But potentially with everything that we've seen for what the SYNC's doing, if injuries are, you know, the injuries are down or in control.

[Assistant] It doesn't impact the areas of most important areas like the middle linebacker position with Demario Davis. It's like if we don't lose certain people, if their car is there, he'll get better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we have, uh, you know, we will miss Elvin for the first three weeks, we'll have Jamal Williams there, but we'll get a refresh Elvin Kamara by the week four. So that'd be cool. We still got Kendre Miller. He'll be ready to roll. We got a really in-depth, tight end position. Wide receivers are cool. Awesome. So if we,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Survive the injuries and we stay on par. We should be able to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To do some really positive things in NFC South and embark on a deep playoff journey. Our projected record estimate for the Saints this season stands at 12 and five. How about that? 12 and five for the black and gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking at the black and gold and we have to make sure we just keep it all together. So that's my.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 53 man projection roster right now as it stands for the fam. So shout out to the rest of you guys. Appreciate y'all being here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we gonna get ready to jump to the next article, let me just give a shout out. Shout out to OG to the third degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They love what he did. And then what happened was they just had a change of philosophy and just decided to go with more veteran return men. So they went with Kiki Colte. They brought in Lynn Bowden Jr. and Kiki Colte at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Saints seen enough of Len Bowden, they release Kiki Kohti.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, you know, Malik Flowers and all those guys. So I guess they wanted more of a return, a guy in the return game that was, uh, that was, could really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give them that kind of edge. I guess they ain't wanting to straight up veteran, but thank you bro for your super chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fam appreciate y'all being in this, man. Appreciate the super chats from the family members, man, as we keep this thing moving. Brian says, I know we talking Saints football. What do you look, he says, what do you look back, uh, Big Q when you first time you started just podcasting out all this sex you had with your podcast. All right. Thank Brian for that. Uh, what do I see when I look? Well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, it's been a lot of shows, right? A lot of, uh, really positive, uh, shows, a lot of excitement, a lot of passion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, talking to the people, it's been a lot of expansion, a lot of growth. And you know, when I look back, I just, I'm happy, you know, it's joy because it's a lifelong passion. And really I, in the truth of it's like some people have a gift. They know they have it for a very long time. What happened, I discovered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't notice it originally and I had my friends and family would tell me, you need to do, you need to, cause I will be, you know, and I've said this before, I'll be watching the games and I'll be saying stuff and then the commentators will say it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, and I was doing it so much so that people was, it was very noticeable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when it got down to a point, people were like, man, you need to do this. So I just, you know, I jumped off the fortune. At the time I was a, a railroader working, you know, and railroad's a very tough profession. So I bought a bunch of equipment and for a whole year just sat there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So ultimately one day I was off and I decided to set up everything and then just like, you know, let me, I bought all this stuff. Let me, and then eventually, you know, I was kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Consistently wrapped it around my timeframe, my schedule, and I just took off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, and, and the good God just gave me the, the mind to do it. And I, and prior to every stream, I always, you know, think the most high because, you know, even though y'all hear me, I'm only an expression of the divine, man. Everything that is all the success and everything that has happened through the platform, the people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I recognize that man. So I appreciate you. So all the success that we've had, man, is due in fact to the blessings of you guys through the most, you know, from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The divine man, so that's how I see it. So appreciate that question. Appreciate you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. He said, yeah, six, but yeah, I know that I said it in there, bro. Appreciate it. Yeah. At first it was Nephi. So they just didn't change that. I was supposed to change the number on it. I was trying to get it out to the family members, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, before the time came, like I, like I said, I was working on it all morning, man. So I hope y'all like it. All right. So thank y'all for that, man. Appreciate you. All right. Shout out to the fam, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no Trey Kwan Smith on this thing, brother. No, no, they ain't, they absolutely not. What's up, brother? Mocha, shout out to you fam. BP, how you doing fam? Appreciate you. Good to see you in the chat as well. Brother Wallace, shout out to you. OG Jerry, the OG.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, good to see OG Jerry. Young blood says Q. I don't think the Saints will be able to high check. Bro, you on point. Tough decision keeping him over Kirkwood on the main route. I know bro, see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the, that's the problem I had. Like when I was going over these guys and I said, hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know AT pairs, like the first three wide receivers we know make in the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A.T. Perry, we know he's gonna make the team, right? He's gonna come out and have a, you know, he can have a decent performance today. You don't have to have nothing outstanding. He's gonna make the team. That's A.T. Perry, they draft pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Shaq Davis, the way Shaq Davis played the last couple of days and how he been playing in practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you think you're going to put Shaq Davis on the practice squad and he's going to survive? Absolutely not. I mean, you finally get, you remember Sean Payton for years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was trying to get big physical wide receivers that can run and catch. We finally got two after Peyton gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Shag Davis and A.T. Perry, we got to find a spot for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not going to survive the prac- you know, you release them, they're not going to make it to the practice squad. Somebody's going to snatch and grab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's what I did. And I didn't, of course, to cover that, the return position to save Rashid Shahid, I had to add a kick returner in Lin Bowden Jr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in the end, I like it because what it does is it gives us some, some depth at the wire receiver position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It gives us two physical wide receivers that can go get the ball and that if something happens, God forbid to Michael Thomas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or Rashid Shaheed, who's coming off a growing issue. If any one of those guys kind of have an issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we got guys that it can fit in and make things happen, whether you can play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you talk about Shag Davis playing the slot, a six foot five, 220 pounds slot wide receiver for real, who has a massive catch radius. You know, I mean, that is a, that, that's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, it's amazing. So I mean, yeah, man, I agree, man. That's why I said we can't hide this guy, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, OG says, Q, you smoked me out of uh, describe, that's to say, what's up, that was the longest five minutes ever. Thank you, bro. OG to the third degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. What's up, KK baby? How you doing? All right. Much love to you, Queen. Good to see y'all. Happy Saints Day today, man. As we getting ready for this game later on. All right. Pam, is it Shaq not going to lay us out there, please? I know y'all got, I swear to, at first I was telling me, I was like, man, I'm five wide receivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. But when it came down to it, I think Keith Kirk would survive. Like if something happened, like if we released and Keith Kirk would survive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we can be able to pick them up on the practice squad. I don't think Shaq Davis make it and you're not going to release A.T. Perry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, uh, we need a kick return and a park return. I know the Saints are going to kind of experiment with that today. Remember we've seen Hugo Amadi out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not comfortable with that. I'm really not comfortable with seeing Rashid Shahid there. I know the family member said, yeah QE, we deepened up that wide receiver where we can leave Rashid Shahid out there. I'm like, nah, I like Rashid Shahid where he is. He's perfect. We got three really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good wide receivers that have good harmony and play well together. We need to protect that. We don't need him kick returning and punt returning. Let's just focus on him doing what he do and let's give that to Len Bowden Jr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who can also, he do a multitude of different things. If you need him to come in that, uh, you know, play wide receiver or whatever, he can do a little bit of everything. That's why the saints like him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His play, his position was wide receiver. He's fast. He has good hands and he runs pretty decent routes. And plus he's a value on the special teams. So he's a terrific multi-purpose dynamo if you need him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To do anything outside of special teams work, but I'm just thinking I want to try to protect Rashid Shahid. I don't want him who's already dealing with a growing issue. The reason why we had to shut him down for preseason. We don't need him getting banged up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, going forward. Trey, shout out to you brother. Good to see you. Daniel says, I hope you all have a great weekend and let's go Saints man wishing and hope the Saints go to the Superbowl and win this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big hello to you, big Q. Shout out to you, Mr. Daniel. Appreciate you, sir. Thank you for being here. Much love, my friend. Thank you for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, those salutations. Much love. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so anyway, travel adventures with Eric Beasts, I think Atlanta is going to surprise some people. No, I think Atlanta is going to be better than a lot of people anticipate, and that's largely, not to kind of toot our horns right here, but tootin' our horns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, jokingly and lovingly refer to the Atlanta Falcons as the New Orleans East, because they have our administrator, one of our young, really good administrators and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have, uh, several, they also have another administrator that comes from the building. Of course, Fondo's gonna bring in guys that he's familiar with that come from the black gold. There's a new defensive coordinator there to help them improve defensively. That's a former Saints defensive coordinator or defensive line coach slash coordinator guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then there are several different talented people on the Atlanta Falcon team that are from New Orleans that will contribute to helping their defense improve. So there's a lot of stuff going on in Atlanta that is straight up from the Saints that is going to help them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, like I said, I think the team that'll be the most formidable against the Saints are the Atlanta Phelps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's not to say we always have good rivals rather a good games, even though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where no matter where we are from a talent standpoint, the games are always close and exciting because of the rivalry, the spirit and the energy of the rivalry. But I've, I've said it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Atlanta has an identity. They have an identity. Last year wasn't much of an identity, but this year they have an identity and they're staying true to the identity that the coach Smith is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given them, which is they're going to be a defensive running team as much like, uh, kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going back in the day to some of the old stealer teams when they were running the ball and play defense and use more of a ball control offense with a game manager style quarterback at the, at that realm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Robinson, you have Tyler El-Jury. You got two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, north-south powerbacks, you know, that they're going to try to dominate the clock with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have a game managing quarterback that find the big wide receivers that they use and then they have a defense that try to pin you down. So they have an identity that they're going to try to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, stay true to, and I think the Falcons are going to have some success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This upcoming year, I'm not taking nothing from them and I think they will have some success. I just feel like and I'm not just because I'm a black and gold person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think that they'll have some success, but they are inexperienced to a degree at the most vital position, which is the quarterback position. And that's every team in the NFC South. You cannot get around that is that there's a big experience gap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Between the Saints quarterback that's coming into his 10th year, then seeing all these systems versus Atlanta's quarterback who had two starts last year versus Carolina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Won't make it to through three weeks before Kyle Trask is moved in as the quarterback. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's a big experience gap at the most vital position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the NFC South, that's what I think part of the reason I believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the Saints have a decisive advantage over the rest of our NFC South counterparts. Just keeping it a buck 15 on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. So shout out to the rest of KT. How you doing, sir? Appreciate your big hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's well, much love to the fan. Appreciate you, man. We better not put Shaq. Yeah, I know. I know in KT.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was talking about Shaq Davis way time ago and he was the one that was drawing Shaq. So shout out to KT that put that in the game. All right. So yeah. Oh, thank you, BP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. That's your lane for sure. Yeah, I found it, man. I found it, like I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how I found it. I didn't come out the box and say such and such. It just all, I think in a previous life fam, I probably was a commentator or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it just, it's natural to me. So, you know, I, I don't know. It's a God given ability. I can't take no credit for it, man. For real, man. All, all this through the most high. Scoop says, Q, thanks for listening to the most high because you benefit from your bill. And all of us are in this together, my friend. All of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or in this great dynamic, cause that's why I preach, you know, I've kind of talk on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, about like, and I ain't trying to throw too much on the family members, you know, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I often talk about the ego, like, you know, and they got a lot of great people out there, but you know, like the ego, like the out of control ego is really a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it really is. Like, if you got an out of control ego, man, and people can't tell you nothing or, you know, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta be able to check yourself like you used to say back in the day. You gotta kinda, you know, do a check, a spiritual, physical, mental check on yourself to see where you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a person and be really brutally honest, honest with yourself and things that you can improve upon as a person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we all have, we all sent here, we got a certain amount of character corrections that we have to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That it can cut you off from the divine. And there's only one real way to do this, to be honest with you. And I know a lot of people ain't too spiritual, but I'm telling y'all that you don't have to be a monk somewhere in the Appalachians to understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keeps planets in balance and all this kind of, you know, all the beautiful stuff that we see. That's just not some big explosion happening and stuff. Man, that's crazy talk. You know, there's obviously an architect here and the way it's set up is that if you tap into, if you kind of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Control your ego, right? And be real and you tap into


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh, that divine energy, which is the truest, purest you. Man, you, you, there'll be some trials and tribulations, but it's like plugging into a socket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if you need to charge your phone, like it's the same dynamic, it's all counterfeit of that system. Like you, your phone can't go forever without a charger to run out. You gotta plug it into the charger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which plugs into the power socket for it to get recharged so you can use it again. You gotta get your batteries recharged and that's what that power is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is what we use and that's what all this expression comes from, all the creative music, all the beautiful music, the beautiful art, all of that is an expression in either your conduit or a vest, however you want to phrase it, you're a magnifier of it. It flows through you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's where it comes from, man. It's all a divine expression of the grand architect. That's how I see it. You know, and it also like, it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ego tries to cut that off, man, and you can't let that happen. You gotta check yourself, baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta check it. Alright, so anyway, let me keep on going here. Shout out to the fam, Trequan Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, no, and listen fam, I'ma throw this at y'all. I'ma throw this at y'all fam, about the Triquin Smith thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I mentioned this before and don't be surprised if this happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we've seen several wide receivers get released. We've seen Brian Edwards get cut, right? We've seen, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've seen Brian Edwards get cut, we've seen James Washington get cut, you know, and then we'll see some more guys get released.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Trey Kwan Smith, who got hurt when Rasheed Shaheed got hurt and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've seen Rasheed Shaheed practicing trequan smiths around here somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But don't be surprised if the Saints don't put Trey Quine Smith on the IR. Like they, before they, don't be surprised if they don't release him. Don't be surprised if they take Trey Quine Smith and put him on the injury list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just don't be surprised. I'm just throwing that out there because that's something that they can do because for whatever reason they like this man a lot. Don't be surprised if they don't put him on the IRR so they can bring his ass back later on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the season at some point, I'm just telling y'all, you know, this, they, they, they might do something like that. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, cause even if you release Trey Quine Smith, he gonna clear waivers and the Saints gonna practice squad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So at some point, you know, Trey Quine Smith is going to end up as a member of the Saints team. I just don't get the energy that he will be gone. And then, you know, I think he'll even.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some kind of way he'll end back up here because they could have released Trey Quine Smith already. They released several other players when they got re- think about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that when, uh, uh, uh, what's the guy, uh, hold on here. Let me see if I got the story. Hold on fam. Let me, let me go, go to the tracker. Hold on. Cause we got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I think she just put up a track or not too long ago. Yeah. No one is she, she put up a tracker, like a, some of the stuff that she's going to do. Now look, look at what she's hold on. Let me see. Oh yeah. Let me put that on screen for y'all see that. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you see, Coda Martin was placed on the injury reserve. You see the Saints back on the 11th signed Jalen Smith and terminated Kiki Colte to kick returner to free up the spot. They did the same thing four days later with James Washington to free open the spot for Darrell Williams, right? And then on the 22nd, they reached the injury settlement with Scott Lachey and they released him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So why are they coming up with injury settlements to release for Trey Kwan Smith? Huh? You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know why? Because Trey Quine Smith is, is, the Saints have a move where they're gonna bust that move and put Trey Quine Smith on the IR and save him for another day later on. I'm telling you, Trey Quine Smith's not done here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, shout out to your brother Jerry. Good to see you in the stream. Much love. Appreciate you fam. Much love. Alright Scoob, shout out to you. What it do, pimpin'? Says QB definitely needs some suspect, some more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Blake Gilligan, remember the Blake Gilligan move that Sean Payton did?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the saints put them on IR for the whole year and they were able to cause the injury list is a way you can keep players from going elsewhere. You don't think the saints realize that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The saints have done that before where they'll take a guy that's already hurt and they'll IR him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they'll have the option to bring them back at a certain period of time if they're dealing with injuries to a certain position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and you can have as many guys as you want on that, on that injury. There's no limit to my understanding of how many people you could put on the IR.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like some of these guys, the Saints have, they didn't have to come up with injury settlements to release these guys. They could have just IR'd them if they believed them. You see what I'm saying? And put them on the IR for the rest of the, for the, for the year and just held them, held on to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or brung them back at a certain strategic time if they were dealing with issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so my point is, why isn't Trey Kwan Smith on that list? We see, I just showed you, uh, several players that got injury settlements and released.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, so they, they have something for him. Let's be looking out for that fam. We'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh, the roster, and I believe he does bro, so I'm with you on that. Alright, Hemisfield say, uh, who that big Q? I remember the first time I found your channel and I remember asking you in the comments, when will I get to see you? I've been enjoying your show ever since, keep up the good work. Thank you, Hemisfield. Shout out to you fam, appreciate you. We're going to be doing some meet and greets coming up this year. I told you we're going to do at least three of them fam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll do at least three other meet and greets where we'll be doing live call. They call it live pods. We'll do the show live and you'll meet some of the personalities. You'll meet me and guys like Black Suede or DC and those guys, they'll be in the building as well. So that'd be pretty cool, man. We'll be doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, Scoob says Kirkwood is NFL ready. Not now, but right now. All right. All right. T-Dirty. What's poppin', baby? What's goin' on, my dog? T-Dirty, man. Chris, uh, Chris says, Q, do you, he said, do you think we'll have a better season?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people keep saying we got the easiest schedule in the NFL and I'm saying you're doing that bro. That's based on the rosters from last year. Don't really make no sense to do that. That's just some stuff that they can throw around to create excitement. We don't really have that, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those teams have changed. They're basing a lot of that on last year's record, which that don't make no sense to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, starting the year up, now we at to a point where we're like, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're looking around, we have an opportunity to see some of these teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, like, well, these teams, a lot of the teams granted are teams with rookie quarterbacks. We got two matchups with Carolina. They got a rookie quarterback. We got, uh, uh, uh, Anthony Richardson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the Colts, he's a rookie quarterback. We got CJ Strow, he's a rookie quarterback. So you got several games where you be playing against teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have rookie quarterbacks at the vital position which we should be able to take advantage of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A New England team that doesn't seem strong, you should be able to beat them. But once again, you got coach in there, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That can, you know, coaching and all this kind of fantastic stuff, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does appear like to me and I looked over the schedule and I'm like, okay, now I didn't look at it from a past perspective. I was looking at it from what they have right now with teams particularly could be. So eventually what I did was I just made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, selection, I say, man, I think 12 games is good as we, if we survive the injury monster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should be good. We should have about 12 damn games this year, so we'll see what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so anyway, Jerry says who that's, uh, Q, uh, who that sees Trey Quince speak and go to Denver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Sean Payton, I ain't mad at him. You know, Payton looking for somebody. Eric says, Payton just waiting like a sniper for Tuesday. Oh yeah, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need a wide receiver and he plucked Pete Kirkwood. Keith Kirkwood could be a guy he pulls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the list, uh, Trey Quadsmith, if you release him, he definitely going out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we'll see what, yeah, he definitely looking. Y'all absolutely right, man. Yeah. He, he, he's looking for talent over there. So you, you're right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. Davis says Kirkwood is a vet. You can risk Davis and Bowden won't survive. Yes. Yes. Absolutely. I agree with y'all. That's what, and I changed like, man, uh, far wide receivers. I see it, but really I had to kind of snipe down to keep, uh, Shag Davis and we, we knew AT Perry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to get Shaq Davis and Len Bowden on the chain, I had to snipe down one of the linebackers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think the linebackers, like a Nick Anderson and Anthony Orgi, some of these guys I meet clear the practice squad, Nephi Sewell. I think these guys clear the practice squad. So I had to take a gamble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, with the linebackers that free out the wide receiver position because the, the offense is the, is, is vital. We need them to really shine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To take it to the next level in the decent defense acts as a compliment to the offense. Like last year was defense leading the team. I don't like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we need the offense to rise and shine defense acts as a compliment. We got a lot of young people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, on the defensive side, they need to step up. So only time will tell, man, but I think we, we get 12 games, but I'm, I'm going to say that J rock shout out to you. So I think Kirk would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll survive waivers either. He says, I don't think he will survive waivers. Remember Jerry Judah? Yeah, I just said that bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and Peyton will pick him up. Yeah, that's true. But you know what, bro, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're absolutely right, but I still believe that it is, you know, even though Keith Kirkwood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we lose to Keith Kirkwood on the way. I still see it as...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, you know, Keith Kirkwood, I would hate to lose him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But man, I'm looking at it like, man, Shaq Davis and AT, well, we're not going to release AT Perry, but Shaq Davis, Shaq Davis to me is a sick, you know, that's too big of a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Potential to allow, to risk to get to the practice squad, you know, and you, he won't make it there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shaq Davis won't make it to the practice squad. That's everything Peyton wants. So Peyton looking at it saying, whoever you release, I'm going to bring them on up in here. So I'm like, okay, if we got to release somebody, let it be Kirkwood as opposed to a Shaq Davis with a higher upside. That's just how I see it. Y'all might disagree. I don't know. All right. Anyway.

[Assistant] With the Niners and the Rams. That's right. That's right. I remember them days, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Dr. Drew, how you doing, sir? Appreciate you. But being here, Yellow Nose says, he says, dang, how long y'all? I've been live, we got too much talent. But status quo, we, whoever playing top notch gets a spot, that's right. Alright, shout out to you. We got a lot of talent, man, no doubt about it. Uh, he also says, Dennis says, Smith got a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, make special teams to get a spot on Ross and not that ain't it. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, you think you mean Trey Quantz, but yeah, and, and he's hurt right now on the Hama shirt, but he hadn't really been flashing anything. And usually when that happens, they.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just want to keep them around, man. You know, you ain't supposed to be like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know you got loyalty, but loyalty comes with, you know, performance and stuff like that. Trey Quine Smith, we're gonna give him plenty of opportunities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got guys here that's taking this position already. Uh, Shaq Davis is better than Trey Quansmith. Uh, A.T. Perry is better. These are big wide receivers that have large catch, catch radiuses and they have potential and higher ceilings and they're cheaper.
