[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like, uh, yes, so we're going to show how this naturally predicts into agreements about interest rates and, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the literature, it's like the Fed wakes up and increases the interest rates in our model. That's going to actually happen for a reason. And so, and finally, we are going to also consider


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you can still do it on average, and that's what the Fed is gonna do, right? And we think this kind of like, uh, interest rate setting under uncertainty is actually quite realistic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it backfires because the market, so they, they reach the conclusion that you should ignore what the market thinks about your race. You make different assumptions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, too optimistic and, and, and I think as a market think the Fed is setting too high rates inducing uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the result that we have is that even if it disagrees with the market, the market is completely crazy. You actually end up accommodating the market. You move somewhat to the market because if you didn't do that, you would miss your current target.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, and I think, by the way, if you anecdotally, if you talk to the Fed people, you see they do feel this pressure from market when the market wants a certain rate. And if you don't give it to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so how do we explain the motivating fact, the gaps between the dot and the forward curve?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember, our result is that you set a weighted average of the two views. The Fed doesn't fully follow its view of demand. It's actually set on putting some weight on the market's view. Okay, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's take that weighted average rule and let's think about what this implies now for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, as the Fed sees the data, they will start to see the world like us. They will in fact, in this example, become more pessimistic, move closer to the market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Provide a very natural explanation for these gaps. And let me emphasize that actually you need learning as well to get this back. This agreement alone doesn't get you it. You need learning


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Predicting higher interest rates, but actually I wish there was a flipping of that. But actually, if you, if you look at earlier years and use when you don't have the dots for those years, but let's say you use green book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Greenspan Fed was predicting lower interest rates compared to the market. They kind of understood the recession earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My sense is that they are quite persistent. They last several years. They don't last forever. So uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So before I get to the model, let me actually try to show you some facts. I see some of you are skeptical on these disagreements. Let me try to show you some facts from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so this is a monthly survey of, uhm, financial institutions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The predictions for the fed funds rate, we take as the policy rate, okay, at the one year horizon, that's the top panel. And I'm also at the bottom panel plotting predictions for inflation at a one year horizon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's kind of, we think, support our assumption that some of the interest rate disagreement is related to aggregate demand disagreement. Okay, so, but the more interesting thing that I take away from this picture is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, actually, these are like professional forecasters and these are monthly releases, like Bluechip. So, so there's no question that these guys have access to Bluechip. So they see the consensus prediction last month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so that's a, that's a great question. And you know, this is a qualitative paper, so I don't have much to say about magnitudes here and, and, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I like what you find in Gulley's textbook of Clarida Gulley Gatler. So the market has standard preferences and there is a, there are firms that use labor to produce and we are going to assume for now prices are fully sticky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All our SQL, the future looks better, so you spend more now as well. Okay, so this is standard. Here is the, what's different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, so we, we divide the period into two, uh, so every period we divide it into two phases. And there's a pre-shock phase and a post-shock phase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sets, uh, output, uh, an output gap. Okay, so uhm, so that's really the only twist relative to the textbook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there is no news between the periods, right? So, so I can do everything just in terms of using one expectation operator, which is the, which I'm going to do going forward. I'm going to only use pre-shock expectations. Okay, so I'm going to write everything in terms of pre-shock. Every E that you see in the rest of the slide corresponds to expectations in the beginning of the period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when you solve this model, essentially you can take the expectations of this according to Fed and set to zero. You can find a close form solution for the interest rate. Right? So, and what you find is that the interest rate the Fed sets depends on basically two things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For future gaps, right? Why? And that's kind of how disagreements and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can also solve for the output capitalist model state by state, right? And by assumption, the Fed stabilizes on average.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That has been, uh, remember this G shock is a shock, it moves around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the Fed and the market start with different initial prior beliefs about what this unknown component of the process in traffic demand is. And that's kind of how we capture the disagreements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the component that you're trying to, you don't know, right? So, so it's not a perfect signal because there are transitory things that move around as well. But as you see demand, you're going to update your views and eventually, in fact, you're going to learn this unknown component.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When c is bigger, you're going to learn more slowly, right? So in fact, the little c is going to show up in the formulas. Let me define that. So what is little c? So that's like relative confidence at time, at a time s relative to a future time s plus t, okay? So, and in particular, if you do Bayesian updating here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, the solid lines here, when you start with sort of high confidence beliefs, then you learn more slowly. You say grimace lasts for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here's something more interesting, again, implied by Bayesian updating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is now the Fed's current beliefs about what the market will think in the future periods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in the future periods, I think the market will disagree with me less. I think the market's belief actually in the future periods will be much closer to my beliefs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And those are basically all the things that you need to know about the beliefs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Into the equations what the outcomes are and what the, how the segments affect the macroeconomics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let's think about now how the future expectations about interest rates look like if you basically take the expectations of this you see again very standard


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And basically the both curves shift up by the same amount, right? And they become pessimistic, both curves shift down by the same amount, right? So, so this is the benchmark. Now let me show you what happens with this agreement. Suppose, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so let me actually show you these results in a picture and also that helps to understand, um, intuition for the results. Okay, so, so, uh, this picture corresponds to, this shows you the, um, forward and the dot curves in an example in which


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So actually the dash lines here is an initial state of affairs when they had the same beliefs. The solid line is the dot and the forward curve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now what do you see here? Well, you see that fanning out of the two, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, doesn't increase the interest rate by the same amount. It sets a weighted average of its own view and the market's view, right? And that's sort of somewhere in between the two views.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is now when they have less confidence, so they pay more weight and they learn faster from data. Now you see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, one way of thinking about these things is that this is one way by which these disagreements come about, right? Like if you disagree about persistence of processes and when there's a shock, it will create a disagreement where there was none to begin with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in this case, in fact, the pressure current shock is weaker and the Fed doesn't raise interest rates so much, but then the views are quite persistent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let me talk about some extensions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So actually the first extension is when we have information asymmetry in addition to, uhm, disagreements. Okay, so uhm, uhm, we think the Fed might know at least more than markets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to set high rates because I have some positive piece of information and I don't know if the market will agree or disagree with me, right? So there is uncertainty. So two results. First of all,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the time you have the usual reaction, right, that there's like a, what people call monetary policy shocks, asset prices decline and whatnot, and there's a surprising increase in the policy rate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And critically too, sometimes when interest rates go up, asset prices go up, that's like those, those are information events according from the lens of these models. And these are disagreement, right? Another thing I want to say here is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that actually generates an interesting effects, uh, because every macro shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coefficient of uh, while here, right? So the man shot smooth only because the shot was bigger than what the Fed expected and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So actually the Fed is not going to raise the interest rate as much as it should, as perceived by the market. So uhm, so this will actually generate, ehm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can get empirical predictions here, I think are sort of, you can think of it like stock prices when the Fed is more sensitive, will react to news more, will give more muted reaction to news and when the Fed is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they update differently. And the Fed updates more than the market. Okay, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what do you see here? Well, first you, so you get something like a common optimism shot because there's a positive news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and all these additional increases according to the market, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are our mistakes, right? So the market thinks there's good news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reaction, shock effect will actually swap to direct effect when you get a negative reaction to good news. That doesn't happen here, you just get muted reaction when the fed is more reactive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though shocks are happening. So it's, it's in our model as if the Fed is not changing its view, even though the shocks are happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Data sensitivity regimes and try to test the predictions. Let's say by looking at how stock prices react to macroeconomic releases and you know, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the blue chip, the average blue chip forecaster was predicting interest rate hikes in early, uhm, 2000s, eh, way before the interest rates were actually lifted and, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the average. In fact, some participants were predicting very large interest rate, very quick interest rates increases. So you're right. But still I think the zero lower bound, because it is a constraint,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the upside, maybe some of the participants who thought there's no longer a constraint actually wasn't, but, but, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for the average, for the market price, I don't know. I think the market prices arguably were still pricing zero lower bound. But yeah, I think those are, I agree with you that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The differences between the dot and the forward curve that we see in the data and we build a model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In which, uhm, markets and the central banks have disagreements, confident opinionated disagreements, and we find that with some learning,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does the segment actually provide a natural explanation for the gaps between the dot and the forward curve that we see in the data?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we also have an extension I showed you when you have a signaling together with this agreement, you basically


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From data, we see shocks are bundled with monetary policy mistakes because every shock also changes the extent of the mistake, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so let me stop here and I'm happy to take any questions that you have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think I have two answers to that. First of all, the macroeconomy is changing all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we, I mean, you know, every, like we get always different shocks and they have different nature. So I think quite naturally this will generate this agreement, but actually even we had similar shocks. I mean, these are maybe less applicable to the institutions, but what I see in, for instance, in finance and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of when you look at micro data trading or survey data is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like someone has more of a confirmation bias than the other, or someone is more overconfident than the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we think of really the drivers of this as a financial institution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a way that does look like a version of our model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, I don't know, there might be ways of reinterpreting that relational attention, but uhm, I find our interpretation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More natural, perhaps because I come from finance, where this assumption is pretty, has become, is becoming pretty standard actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think the insights that we have, it's a highly stylized model, but I think the insights are generalizable. So this is why I don't take a strong position on where did these segments come from, because my sense is that if you think through the logic of the model, essentially


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, no matter where you're gonna have these effects, you might have additional effects on top of that as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Saturday morning, I got up early from what had been a sleepless night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went into my garden and listened to the world around me. It seemed no different from any other morning


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I even heard the sound of a train passing through town in the distance Then the milkman came by on his wagon


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I met him outside my garden walls and asked him if he had heard any news about the Martians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told me that he heard the army had surrounded the pits and that they had sent for guns


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although, they hoped they would not have to use them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I walked back toward my kitchen door, I saw my neighbor out in his garden, pulling up strawberries. I went over to chat with him briefly. I think it'll all be over by the end of the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They say a second Martian thing has landed over in that forest of pines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After breakfast I could not work, so I decided to take a walk over near the fields.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I came upon a team of soldiers who were blocking the road to the pits. They told me that no one was allowed to pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of them had seen a Martian, so they were full of questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I told them about the deadly heat ray, they became even more excited and started to discuss the best ways to fight the Martians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should surprise them by approaching quietly, said one of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Idiot! There's nothing to hide behind out in their fields! Argued another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, are you some kind of rabbit or something? said yet another soldier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, you said they look like some kind of eight-armed sea monster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, that'd take too long. Let's kill them quickly, countered the first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I left them arguing in this way and went to the train station to get a morning paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The townspeople seemed once again to feel safe with the military there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The houses around the field were all emptied and the people ordered to stay somewhere in the village.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was disappointed by what I read in the newspapers It seemed that I knew much more than they


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their description of the way Ogilvy and Stent were killed was completely wrong. I got most of my news directly from the soldiers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At about three o'clock, I could hear the sound of heavy guns being fired from far away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was told that the military was bombing the forest where the second Martian vehicle had landed. They hoped to destroy it before it opened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At five o'clock, the surrounding army at walking received a large gun as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Later, while my wife and I were sitting down to tea, we heard an explosion come from the fields.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ran outside and found that the entire roof of the neighboring church had been blown completely off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And looking up at the roof of my own home, it seemed that a piece of that explosion had done some damage to the brick wall outside of my study.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Behind me the military had begun to fire once again upon the sand pits. Where shall we go? My wife asked. We'll go to your cousin's home in Leatherhead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All around town, people were running out of their houses into the streets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told my wife to stay where she was and then ran to a nearby pub where I knew the owner kept a horse and wagon


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I got there, he did not seem to be aware of what was happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was in the middle of selling one of his pigs to a villager.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I interrupted and asked him to loan me his horse and wagon for two pounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stood for a moment, surprised at my behavior but then agreed to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I promised him that I would return it that same day and then went around back and drove the horse and wagon quickly onto my home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then ran inside to collect a few of our most valuable things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I came back out, a soldier ran up to me and told me to hurry up and get out of town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It came out of the vehicle, some kind of thing that looked like the cover of a dish, he yelled, and then ran off to the next house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I threw our valuables into the wagon, climbed into the driver's seat, and whipped the horses into a full run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As soon as we were a safe distance from the town of walking, I looked back. Thick smoke was rising up from the village, along with occasional bursts of red flames.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could hear the sounds of machine gun fire, but then they would quickly die away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It appeared that the Martian's heat ray was destroying everything within its range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I then turned back around and focused on driving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People were coming towards us from the surrounding fields, running for their lives. I did my best to keep the horses under control and get as far away from danger as I possibly could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit, uh, Golf Money Halloween is just like, man, I don't even know. It is what you make it down there for real. Right. And uhm, costumes, we got a couple costumes on deck, you know. We got the Black Craig costume, the Honeck costume, the Marcin May costume, you know, coming to stores real soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember the, uhm, the best, my favorite one, but I do remember, uhm, the most scariest one that I had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is my first time, like, being out here on Halloween. This shit, I don't even like going out on Halloween sometimes, cause like, too many people be on fuck shit, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, like 15 minutes north of the capital, which is Richmond, called Ashland, aka the dirt road, you feel me? It's on Wesley Street, you feel me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to be stereotypical and say, you know, hood or this and that, you feel me? But it's like, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bad area, rough area, that's a lot of crazy shit going on. Both, you feel me? Good, good and bad, you know? Uh huh. Yeaah. Both, you feel me? It's like one side, one side, you know, like, you feel me? Like the bad side, then the other side, the good side, you know? Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was. I think, I think like the first thing that I found out that I want, I want the same was when like I couldn't dress. I mean, I can't match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I don't even know, I think it's just in my blood, for real. Cause like, my momma, she got sisters and brothers and I asked her and she was like, you know, she's like the weird one of her, uhm, out of all her siblings, so I guess it just passed down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad, my dad is the reason why I fight that I'm just, uh, influenced in music. Cause when I was little, like from literally like a little baby, like he would play everything, like all explicit, every single like raw thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is he a hip-hop head? More so a hip-hop, but a little bit of R&B, you know? Right. He was listening to more so a whole lot of West Coast music. Right. So yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit all started when I was probably like 6th grade. Me and my two cousins went to the same school and we would just be on the bus just acting dumb, just rapping a whole bunch of dumb shit. And that's how it started, for real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, we was like mad little kids, like, I only think people in high school even know we, well they know we make music but they won't even like listen to you, you feel me? Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Music scene? Man, like, that shit is slow out there. It's just starting to come up, like, you know? But always, always feel like that, that, that Richmond is like the, uhm, is like, is like the, the next, like, Baton Rouge, like, you feel me? Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well, I ain't, I ain't look up to no rappers from Richmond, but like, what it is, you know, some rappers out there, but one of them who was making noise is, um, Red Rome, shout out Red Rome, if you feel me, from this city. Uh huh. I think he was doing some shit with DJ Khaled if I ain't mistaken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well hold on, alright, well, two things, alright, the, the, the, most people don't know, but like DMV, like, the DMV is only considered, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fuck with the clips hard, they were a little inspiration, yeaah. I fuck with them. I look out to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, I started skateboarding to this day. I started skateboarding, uhm, probably when I was like 12. Uh huh. From my cousins, being around my cousins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just be doing, I fuck with those bunch of heel tricks I be doing. My favorite joint is my own backside heels either fakie, fakie front heels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like did I, did I, did I get more of they love? Yeaah. You know, the fact that I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I was actually fucking with, uh, with YouTube a lot. It was some hella picture song videos on there. And then I moved to Soundcloud and then like, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit, yeaah, you feel me? Like, Space Ghost Pert, shut up Pert. Uhm, Chris Travis, shut up Chris, and Out the Wolf, well, Xavier Wolf, you feel me? Yeah, they- Shut up Xavier, you feel me? Like, them three dudes, you feel me? They- They all, like, just randomly heard you and- They helped out, you feel me? Right. Yeah. Alright, that's what's up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah, it was kinda early on, probably like a year and a half ago, he just, he was just hitting me up and was like, yo, like, we gotta do a track, I'm about to sing two beats and two is from them Jones, and that was it. Right. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I met Kane, and luckily, but I also met Karma, if you feel me, like, along with him, around the same time, but, you know, yea, Kane, Marcy and Kane, hit em up around the same time. Yea. I was living in LA around, you know, around like when it all started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a good man. Alright, so I moved out here with my homie from Richmond. Uh huh. So like, we like, as soon as I got out of school, like I just moved out here with him. Like, $300 in my pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, we, uh, we was about to fucking be like, like living in a hostel for a little bit. But like the homies who, who took us, picked us up from the airport, we were just talking. It was like, damn, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all really wanna stay in this house though? Hell nah. He was like, well I'm gonna call my homie up see if I can stay home for a month. I gotta pay him like $400 for rent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then from, like, from there, like, you feel me? Just from being there for three months, we finally got a crib in the city, around like mid-city area and shit, and just been living there, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, nah, nah, like, we came out here on our own. I came out here like couple, like three, four years ago on my own. And then like, and then, but Kane, Kane was already living out here, and then Marcy came after, you know, and then yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell yeaah, yeaah, he was already like hella musically inclined, like, he gotta, he very musically inclined, yo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah. Like that's how it all started from the jump anyways, you know? Right. I hopped on one of his beats and he was fucking with it, then we started fucking with each other from that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I moved out here, I was just trying to just, just to like, not be in the scene, but not be in the scene. I just had to get out of my home town because I knew like I couldn't make no moves back home. Right. And my homie, you know, my homie Creep, he was just like, man, just come with me when I go back out there and I went with him and that's it, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, shit, it's both, you know. I like it out here and back home. I be getting homesick a lot. I'm just a homebody type person, but it's cool out here too. It doesn't matter different, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean, it's hella distractions out here. Yeaah. But, I don't get distracted though, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did a write up for us cause he fucked with us super hard. So he was like the intern for him. He did a little write up for him. And I guess like once he picked it up, I guess like the head dude or somebody seen it and he like, he got mad and started cussing him out and like writing him hella paragraphs on like talking about like what is this dumb shit, something, something blah blah blah, whatever. Just talking shit on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who the fuck is he, that fuckin' Nick? That's what I'm sayin'. And then like, but it's fucked up, because like, man, like, they had posted that shit on Twitter for a hot second, and like, that shit had got like, way more favorites and retweets than this, than this shit that they had posted up about Nicki Minaj and some other people. I'm like, yo, y'all tweakin' right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, both like, I smoke, I smoke meds because like, around, I mean boys got loud around the way too, but also it's still hella med around the way too where we come from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So like, man, I just embrace it, you feel me? Cause I feel like it's very slept on, like some people be acting like that they ain't even, like, that's what everybody started smoking was, man. So I was like, I gotta embrace it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, it's low key weird, cause like for me, it's like, it's like for me, it's like when I, when I smoke mid, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, for real, I'm gonna record music when I'm high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I mean, you should do what you do, man. Just, you feel me? Just, just be cautious and just be responsible, you feel me? That's all it is, man. Just be responsible, y'all. For real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do, but I don't really want to talk on it, cause like, I do feel that way also at the same time, like, when I really, really think about it, I'm like that, they just like influence, but one thing that I don't fuck with is like, when somebody do it and like, and they don't pay homage, you feel me? Or at least just give a shout out or something, just one time at least, you feel me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody, like, people respected us but they weren't really fucking with us because we were just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like we was just on some, on some other shit just too early, you feel me? In your own world. Yeaah, so it was like, treat them over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was always a logo, just cause, you feel me, like, I really look up to him, you feel me? And the whole New Orleans, you feel me, scene and shit, I'm real deep into it, and like, I've just always been influenced by him, so, most of my artwork is influenced by him too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not always been, man, but I always fucked with Birdman since I was a little of the hardest, Lil Key, him and Juvenile. I used to fuck with Lil Wayne when he was a little teenager, too. Just cause, you know, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, he said, who would I vote? Yeah, who do you think you would work well together with?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, but I met him one time before though, a while ago. Really? Yeah. I feel like- We had a show in Maryland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I'm pretty, I'm pretty sure he knows what's going on. Yeaah, he's secretly clued in on it. Yeaah, he's like a real internet lurk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, only that with my songs, cause like, I don't even, I don't even usually like watch shit like that, you feel me? Like, fuckin' rally TV shows and shit like that, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got, I got three uhm, I got one uhm, is, is my own jump uhm, Soulja Lil' Rari World. And I got, uh, a jump coming out with Phil D called, uhm, Shitty, Shitty Sick Boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, back in the day, just like, I don't know, he just like, he had hit me up, you know? Yea. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, man. Shit. I don't even really know, man. You think about stuff like that or am I thinking way too heavy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or like, or, I don't know, cause like, cause like how I view things with me is like, I don't even like, I don't even, I don't even really like care about like to, to even be like that really on or like, you know, like I just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want to get to the point where, like, I can just, I just want to influence everybody in a positive way and just, and just like, teach people and also teach the, teach the younger generation and guide them in the right direction, you feel me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really care about all that lime like shit. I mean, it's cool, but I don't really care too much about it. Like I could be low key and just doing my thing and getting guap and just, you know, inspiring people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, yeaah, like, you like, you like low-key got to, like, you know, like, the farther you get, you low-key got to because, like, that's, that is, like, your job at the end of the day, you know, cause, you know, but also, like, it is my art, you feel me, so, it's both, look at it both ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, my momma and my daddy. Right. I just wanna just make them happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think they understand? Yeaah, they understand. Both of them are very supportive, you know? Right. My momma, she had texted me, she'd be watching all my videos and stuff. Right. She'd just be rocking with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, nah, nah, but another one time, like, uh, for the red two-drop golf crib video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hunnit, Hunnit had the tool in it, the gun. Oh, okay. So like, and like around that time, I had like, just got like a manager and shit, whatever, you know? Uh huh. So like, she was like, she was like, I like the video, but, but uhm, I actually manage it, like if, if it's good to have a gun in there. I was like, that don't matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From somebody else's perspective, you feel me? So yeaah. Like Fleshing and Gotta Love, like I was sending that shit for like, for like goddamn five months and I'm like, I knew like this shit was gonna just twerk and like it did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, people tell me that shit, but nah, it just come up, man. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What else? Probably, probably, uhm, what's that shit called? I think it's my shit with Phil D. Uh, I think Lil' Earnhardt. Right, yea. I don't even know, man, cause like hella people, they be like, they be fucking with my old shit too, a lot. Right. Like, from like my first album.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's, that's them two. Yeah, that's a beautiful thing. Oh, and shout out, shout out my boy Kevin Pallari, you feel me, from Atlanta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talking about the Nunes memo on Saturday, the president tweeted, quote,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And stuff's pretty tight there. We had a leaked thing and nobody knows where that came from. And it was also motivated probably by somebody's ethic, personal ethics, because we're human beings. These aren't robots in this office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe it or not, I have a nuanced stance on this. It's all over the place. I see value in that, I see value in that first commenter's comment where he said, where he was talking about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just winning the Super Bowl, like who the hell are we at this point to just be like, it's Super Bowl or Bust for these Browns fans. Like, let's get some consistent winning in here to begin with, so I understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the perspective of somebody who just says just being competitive and watching good football compared to what we've been through over the last 20 years is to some people enough. They just want to get excited on Sunday to have the potential to do something. If all, if everything falls the right way, if, if some people get hot, if some other people in different teams get injured, maybe you, you know, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's still possibility there, even like, uh, for this team to exceed expectations, and we saw that with that playoff win a couple of years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you've got the, of course, the, you've got the moral question. I mean, you have to, think about what a weird question this is, really. Is it, you can't remove the ethics from this. Uhm, and if you say to yourself,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Winning a Super Bowl, that makes this trade worth it, ethically. But if we come up short, then ethically this was a bad choice. Yea, no, you can't have it both ways. You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to remove, if we're just removing ethics from the equation and just looking at it as a football question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if he doesn't play this year, and we haven't for another, you know, four or five years, and we are playing competitive football and going into the playoffs, and I get to watch playoff football for that long, I am, I know that- You're okay with that? I'm okay with that, because I'm not- The one thing I would say to-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I can't do that. I totally get that. And I'm not, but how ridiculous is the stance to say, uh, like imagine being somebody who defended this ethically through the whole thing and just said, it'll be worth it. And then they win the Super Bowl. They're not like, see, we told you, we were right. It was the right move. No, I was coming at it from an ethical perspective. So regardless of whether you play a game or don't win. I get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's not saying much. I got a seven. This is another thing that determines, uh, uh, whether something's a lead or not that is outside of your hands and that's external factors. I mean, the fact that we all praise Baker for winning that playoff game and he did, but remember the conditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is not exclusively, though, a Watson thing. We're not just that sick. It's a Browns thing. You talk baseball, and this isn't just this situation. You know this. You talk about baseball on the radio or something, they're just not as interested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he really went all in on the Coughlins. Yeaah. But hey, turns out they're delightful people. Never called you out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's an amazing thought. It's like a Disney movie from the 90s or something like that. Jim Morris. Okay, real quick guys, I'm doing a story, you know how I'm a hard hitting pseudo journalist for WKYC during the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Towns, communities, cities to say no thank you. We pass on that law. We'd rather not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and here's just a partial list of the, uhm, communities that have decided to duck out. Bay Village, Bedford, Berea, Brexville, Broadview Heights, Brook Park, Cleveland Heights, Cleveland, Euclid, Highland Heights, Lakewood, Lindhurst, Avon Lake East, like this goes on forever. Is Rocky River out? I don't want anybody doing that. Rocky River's out. Everybody's out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it is an interesting law in that they allowed everyone to opt out. It will be interesting moving forward if the Ohio legislature moves forward and does abandon and outlaw abortion outright if they'll allow the same sort of home rule choices to these places. Will it be up to these communities or is this just a very specific thing that they care about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, one last point, if you are in Maple, or if you are in Maple Heights, or Olmsted Falls, or Fairview Park, it is going to look like a kiss concert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I throw in one thing though? Can I throw in one thing? My very first week on the job at the NFL Network in 2012, I flew out to California and that week, Junior Seau,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The number of fans, the people that filed by that were dropping letters and cards and flowers. The impact that he had on the community, on fans, on the NFL world. I think that that has to count for something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm with Jay on this one. I think the way that you completely rewrote the way contracts are done, I think that the things that you absorbed, and I'm saying things very nicely, but the public perception, the baggage, the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of that that you have absorbed, you have said winning and winning the ultimate prize is the single most important thing. They are hunting for a trophy and nothing less than that. So I'm with Jay. I don't think that you take on all of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as you said, the juxtaposition of the one image versus the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's that largest guaranteed contract ever. It is the way that they as an organization are viewed now externally what the, whether the narrative is fair or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of that. You don't take all of that on unless you have your eye on exactly one prize. And Adam, that prize is not winning 12 games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are certain people, and Jason surely knows this, there are certain people who love talking, and they love talking anonymously, and they think it may...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just because they're talking doesn't necessarily mean that they're totally clued in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's also another possibility here too. There has been the passage of one day. Perhaps, perhaps it's possible something has changed in the course of that one day or some piece of the formula.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has changed because of that. I don't, I just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we all now to some degree have to rely on anonymous sources, but I go back to my days when I was at the Wall Street Journal and the ethos was you weren't allowed to use an anonymous source. And if you wanted to use an anonymous source, you had to have at least two saying the exact same thing. And my problem right now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've got one source, right, telling the Associated Press one thing and one source telling Mary Kay something. Well, I'd love it if it's two sources or multiple sources or getting some sort of verification and not just running because one person tells you something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, I'll go back to something. Since you brought up Ben Roethlisberger, this one sort of sticks in my head. This was 10 years ago. I had just moved to Pittsburgh. I was new in town and somebody had told our reporter at the NFL Network, Ian Rappaport, that Ben Roethlisberger wanted a trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was unverifiably not- I mean, it was verifiably not true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the person, but Ian was indeed told that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Competitive or when you're hopeful or whatever it may be, sometimes you need to take that second step to say, what is the agenda here? What or is there a possible agenda here? Why would this person be telling me this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So again, and this is the same thing, guys, that I said to all of you a few days ago, I don't think anything about this situation is remotely black or white. I think that there's a lot of noise right now. I think that there is a ton of, it could be this, it could be that, it could be whatever. I, for one,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I get it, that Baker could sit here and say, look, the Browns owe me 18.8 million dollars, or 18.9 million dollars, and I don't care if I sit for the year, if they have to release me, they owe me that money, they need to pay me that. Okay, fine, but then you could sit for a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, you could get yourself in a position, let's say Carolina or Seattle, for maybe fifteen million dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's funny, I was at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, two days ago and Joe Dee, of course, who was with the Browns and with the Bills prior to the Browns, uhm, was there and we were chatting and I asked him about that. I said to me, those are the two best fan bases in the entire country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter what, there's just this undying loyalty to their club. And I say that all the time. I really truly do. I do think that the Browns have a tremendous fan base, just like the Bills do. And I get it, but it's funny how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had a few conversations with a few members of the organization that make me think, gee, they really truly don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's somebody in the league office does. That's what I'll say. So I have not in all my years is needing to be able to read people and read the room and discern what I'm being told. I do indeed trust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The various people in various different divisions and departments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who are telling me they really, truly honestly don't know how this is going to play out. And, but I do think there's a separate point here, G. You would hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they've been cooperating as opposed to just an absolute outright denial is somewhat telling as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the organization rebuts this whatever. That's not what that initial response was. So I do think that there will be a piece here. I think that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Activity relations with Deshaun Watson is very interesting. And the fact that she warned them that he was ripe for a lawsuit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever this is, we're not talking about a fourth string right guard. You're talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guy who was, who was prior to having sat out last year seen as one of the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brightest, youngest, biggest stars at the quarterback position in the National Football League. You're talking about a guy that a team committed more money to, more guaranteed money to than any team has ever committed to any player in the history of the National Football League.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The profile of all of this is just so enormous, you'd expect everybody at the highest levels to be involved in some way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the Bengals are going to have the most monster year and that people don't even realize it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just had this conversation with somebody at the Hall of Fame when we were talking about Ben Roethlisberger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody poo-poos that and simply says, oh, he'll just get in because of his name. So why is Ben a la? But Eli is just, oh, because of his name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was almost going to lose his job. It's the year before they won the second Super Bowl. And they finished, I think, nine and six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10 and 6, 10 and 6, sorry. They'd beaten Washington at the end of the season but they just missed out on the playoffs and those players picked him up and hugged him in the locker room and I asked for sort of a referendum on him and his players loved him. He did indeed undergo a personality


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'll never forget Mike Tomlin telling me that his kid's favorite coach in the league, the guy, the person that they always were most excited to see was Coach Coughlin because he was a completely different person privately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the public saw. I mean the loving grandfather, the engaged guy. He's the first person I told I was pregnant when I was pregnant with my daughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't like I knew that this coach is talking to that guy but not to me, or this coach is giving this to this girl but not to me. Tom Coughlin was consistent, he was honest, he was who he was, and when he was told, you need to soften a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And look, you can ask Michael Strahan. Michael Strahan has told me this. That when he first got in the league, he hated the guy. Now he credits the guy with making him who he ended up being. Yeah, I heard that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd also encourage you to go back and watch that football life on him because the story of him and his wife Judy, I mean, it's just the biggest love story I've ever seen. As Judy Coughlin, P.S., is the exact opposite persona of Tom Coughlin. I mean, just as warm and loving and beautiful a human as I've ever been around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's very, especially with such a touchy subject as racism. I'm a brown man, like, when I see things that are like, that hit that sphere, I'm just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, so we heard when these cancellations first started happening is that they said that this is not gonna be the last of these heroes that we're seeing on Netflix. So I have a feeling that this whole, like Disney's putting so much time and effort into


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And quality and stuff like, cause they're not in this game to just be a hulu or to just be like a. They're in it to win it. What is it? What other services that aren't very popular? Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime. There's also that horrible. CBS All Access. Yeah, CBS All Access. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that's gonna get some people. But no matter what, CBS will still be CBS and not Netflix. It's not gonna have the whole grasp that Disney has, cause Disney has their hands in everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So at this point I feel like maybe they're not even sure about where they're going to place them. Mainly because they never, they never pulled the trigger on pulling those characters into the main continuity. Right. You know? So at this point I think they're just kind of playing it safe and just retracting everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that also makes a lot of sense. Like, if you think about everything that not only the studio has to balance, it's 10 years of movies, but also Kevin Feige has to balance as well, and as well as maybe a studio that he doesn't have a lot of contact with, which is the Netflix stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, see, so maybe they didn't communicate and they were like, well, we're just going to do this. Kevin, if you want to like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe fuck with this, like, we'll let you, but, uh, the timing on these shows, I mean, even when we first heard of these shows, it was a bit of a shock, you know? When we first saw Daredevil, we were like, what, they're doing their own stuff on Netflix? Which is cool, but even when that premiered, it always felt kind of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The side project, like the side thing, not necessarily where they were pumping all their time and energy because if you think about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's just in a weird place, dude, and it's hard to say. I think all these topics that we're bringing up kind of have some validity to it, but they could also be bullshit as well, obviously. Uhm, but I feel like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's so many plates spinning to get this Disney thing streaming service going that there could be so many other reasons that these things are getting pulled. And I'm hoping that none of this stuff is in vain. I'm hoping that these actors and these characters get their dues in the long run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have Mahershala on there? I know Donk- Oh my god. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, it's good for them to sort of take that risk, but I feel like, so there's a, I play drums a little bit and there's a saying in drums that when you have a smaller kit, less things to hit, you have to be more creative. So like you, so like say you only have three drums to hit, you have to,

[Assistant] I feel like I saw the pencil going in the dude's eye even though if I look back at it I most likely didn't see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. So there are good ways of telling a story that don't always have to go to that area, even though it might be a movie about assassins. Even though it might be a movie about, you know, whatever the movie's about that has violence in it. Uhm, and so I feel like there's, that's gonna be sort of the, the, the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little bit more of a difficult way to go, but also it could be a super rewarding way to go, because we never thought we would see a movie like Spider-Verse. But look at the way they told the story with the visuals, and I mean, it's still a hero redemption story, but the visuals of it will really push this movie to be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the top, you know, because we'd never really seen anything like this before. Obviously the story was on point, everything else was on point. They had that freedom to make us feel like we saw something brand new. So I feel like they could take a hint from that movie and then just push it a little bit more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of like a Wolverine situation where we don't know what her past is, like it's kind of ambiguous and maybe you can explore little bits and pieces as the movie goes along but you don't necessarily have to have everything spelled out. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know man, like I said before, it's just a tightrope that they're walking right now. It could go in either direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm telling you, it can be done, it's just, it's, like I said, there's so many things up in the air right now, that it's really difficult to know what direction, I mean, according to this article though, that it's not gonna be rated R, right? No. Yeah, he says no. He said it won't be. It's not gonna be rated R, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't- the reason I don't think they'll do that is because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a feeling that we're going to get some kind of wrap up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Endgame, and maybe a little bit in Captain Marvel too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where we're gonna be so looking forward to what's happening next that we're just gonna be like, move on dudes, like let's see what's happening. I have a feeling it's gonna be almost like an Apple keynote speech in which like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Check it out guys, we got voice in voice talking, like, you know, like whatever, whatever new things they introduce. Uhm, yeaah, so I have a feeling that it's, from this point on, it's just gonna be looking forward. Maybe they'll have a, a panel


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not in hall, well I guess it'll have to be knowledge, but like a separate kind of thing in which they might bring back some other people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see. He probably has nothing to do with it, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What they're calling it too is also kind of a very comic book-y term that can mean anything, really. It's all about what you project onto it. The architect across multiple cosmic things. Very ambiguous, so I think it's just a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, like what exactly does that mean? He kind of is, he kind of is. Yeah, he is for that little pocket that the guardians live in, you know, but there's also, like, we can't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd be shooting yourself in the foot if you're saying that anything that has to do with cosmic things, which is maybe what they're talking about or not, we don't know. Maybe just that pocket of the cosmic, maybe other things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's just going to center around the ideas that James Gunn has, and that's kind of invalidating, like, what other people might be able to bring to that, you know? Like, I hate that James Gunn was fired. Like, I really don't like it, but it's also kinda like crapping on people who are gonna come in the future, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think about all the people who are huge fans like us. Like, Adam, what would you do if you got your hands on a script like that? They were like, Adam, direct a Guardians movie, homie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like legit, think about it. If, if you, somebody said you're gonna take over a cosmic Marvel entity,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would you do? You would look at James Gunn, but you would also look at Taika, and you would also look at Ryan Coogler, but then you would also look at everything beforehand and say, we need everything to kind of fit in this universe, but I also want to tell a story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I have a feeling, I have a feeling also that you're right Hector, that they're waiting this out, but also the conversation on Twitter is kind of a little bit out of control when it comes to all this like outrage culture type.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe in the next couple years, we don't know where like, people won't take Twitter so seriously anymore or like, something's gonna happen in which like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't, I don't know, there's gonna be some kind of a recognition in which like, maybe they'll have it in a contract clause or something to say, hey, we reviewed your tweets, we think they're okay, if anything comes up in the future, don't worry about that, cause we saw it already. Like, we know you apologize, it's cool. Dude, that's not a bad idea. Cause you know Disney vets everybody, they knew about those tweets beforehand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can't open that up. So that's the thing, like, that might even be signifying the shift and like, you know, things happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is really what I feel like it was. And so I feel like right now they're starting to, they sort of recognize that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Directing like maybe like somebody who's out in the out in public is a face is gonna be a face of one of the movies. Maybe not actors, but like directors like on that side of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's not even that. It's like, maybe some people are assholes. Like, maybe some people do deserve the kind of lashback that they have been spouting on Twitter, you know? Like, if somebody's being an asshole, call them out. But at the same time,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think people who are in those higher up positions


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, exactly, like in my line of work where I work now, I work with people of an older generation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't know what the hell is going on as far as like technology and like implementing new things goes. So it's like pulling teeth trying to get people to understand certain things. And so I have a feeling that there's that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a feeling though, that as our generation grew up with the internet, we have adapted. Sure. Like an older generation didn't necessarily have to adapt to new things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As an older person, I feel like I hopefully will still be able to grasp new concepts at least.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The older generation doesn't necessarily have. Now keep in mind, keep in mind that one of the people where I work now, one of the oldest people who works there knows a lot more about technology than 90% of everybody else. So that's not to say, I don't want to blanket state that everybody is oblivious to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, exactly, and I don't wanna like shit on people of an older generation because they, I mean, they definitely don't deserve to be shit on with technology and stuff, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, yeah, I mean, but at the same time, I feel like there's, there's going to be people involved who are going to be key players when all these changes do start coming. You know, so things will survive, things will keep going, but it's just, we're going to be in a different age pretty soon and I just, it's going to be interesting to see where it's all going to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I appreciate it, Hector. Hector's a good interview. Hector, you're a good interviewer. You come up with really good questions, and I really like the press junkets you do. Thank you, man. But at the same time, it has to be very wearing on those actors to be there for eight hours straight. And yes, you might have been the person to come up with different questions, but then they have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thirteen other people who were coming in and asking the exact same question over and over again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wanna watch a badass action superhero movie?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That didn't go how I was supposed to go, but that's just how I act. When people who aren't necessarily challenged that way, have never thought about it critically, might have a whole different way of thinking about things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think us approaching it in like the way that you did Hector by saying, hey, you know, like this article, even though the damage was already done, the fact that they went in and changed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's something, like it speaks to something, maybe it clicked in somebody's head, but I feel like people are just not used to the fact that there are things that don't always speak to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like they're blocking people at the door who have penises. It's just like, no, do you have a penis? No, you have to leave right now. No, they're not doing that. This movie is trying to include everybody and I think the headline for this one is Stop Feeding the Trolls is right. We're kind of making it seem like it's hundreds of thousands of people that are outraged. It's just people on Twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The title is absolutely right in which we have to stop giving in to these trolls, which is what we were speaking about earlier. The whole James Gunn situation. Like, imagine if you would have been unfortunate enough to catch that heat, Hector. Like, or you, Adam. Like, not being able to be hired in Hollywood ever again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have to stop giving this squeaky wheel, in particular the oil. Like we have to stop, just let it fall off. Let it fall off, rot and die. Stop giving these people attention because you know what they're baiting you into. That's why, honestly, like I only interact with positive interactions on Twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even on, like, I stopped reading the YouTube comments all together, cause there's nothing I can do about that. Yeah. And it's just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I listen to a lot of other podcasts, and a guy like Joe Rogan, right, he never reads the comments. And he says that the one time that he did, one or two times he did, he got in arguments with people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's the thing though, the best thing that we can do to try to avoid that is just say, Hey dude, cool. That's your opinion. Bye. And just don't interact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like we could kind of make things a little bit different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, we know, yeah, we never just go 30 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it true, these stories I've heard? What story? That you've brought a black woman and her child with you. Aye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're being talked about all over the countryside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a fool, William. Do you think they'd tell you to your face what they think of you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What concerns me is my position in the neighborhood and my husband's. Stay if you like, but send this black woman back where she belongs and the pick and any with her. Until you do that, William, I'm sorry, but I can't have you coming here. You must see that that's not possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if he does, it'll only be a matter of time before the money runs out. The villagers won't come while you're here. They've nothing against you, they just don't want you here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course you'll lay the blame at my door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Survive the fight. Once the Archimonde fight with Darrell took place, everybody understood now a fight is not over until it's over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He hated it because Archie would make cashews clay, wash dishes and clean up and things of that nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that he would instill that when he speak to kids, tell them how important they were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quick left jab, your defense, your hands go out and come right back into proper position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He came down and he told me he believed I could beat Joe Frazier, which a lot of people didn't believe as much. And he would treat me like the heavyweight champion of the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one day, Frazier was all wild and going mad and talking smart to me. And I told him, shut up! Just like Archie said. And Joe was shocked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From that point on, it seemed there was a different Joe Frazier because of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, it was, it was definitely odd. It was a, it was an interesting interview, and to, uh, my boss's credit, he just said, keep going, blow out the commercials, let's just keep going with this interview.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a day where President Trump had said that the murder rate was the highest it had been in 47 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's just not true. It's just false. Uhm, the murder rate was much higher in the 80s and 90s. I mean, there's no data that supports what he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but there had been other things he said the day before. He had said that the media doesn't cover terrorism anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I spent like two weeks in Paris covering Paris. I mean, uh, two different times. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were just empirical lies that the president was telling. And I was challenging her on them. She wasn't really disputing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then at one point she said something to the effect of, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I was just saying, you know, the president keeps saying these things and they're not true and this matters. And she says, okay, but do those things he says that aren't true, are they more important than the things he says that are true?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, I'd never heard anybody in the administration admit that he'd been saying all these things that aren't true. And Sean Spicer's entire career in the press room is there to tell people that black is white and night is day and he's the best president that ever lived. Uhm, and that's what the daily briefings are like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, she had conceded it, but also it's such a bizarre formulation. What about all the lies that Nixon didn't tell?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I ask you quickly about... I don't make these faces on purpose. This is just my face. We've been out to dinner, you know. I spend half the time, you and I are having dinner making that face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a play-in on an afternoon game at the Polygrams, and Billy Cock was on third base. And Perillo hit a ball into right center field, it was almost in right field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wasn't a polished professional. He was a kid playing baseball, man. He was out there every day and it looked like he was having the best time of anybody in the ballpark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would just like to thank Billy for being, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Naive in her trust of a 17 year old who had no idea what he was doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who is incredibly ambitious and thought every idea I had was the best idea. And uhm, you know, I couldn't be more proud of every song that I've made with you. And there's a lot of like bullshit articles about me now about how I'm not just Billie Eilish's brother. And just being Billie Eilish's brother is all I ever want to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautiful. So do you want to focus on the pain of that? Or the shame? Or do you want to focus on the part that shut you down?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's a way to do it. As you think about going to that 13 year old boy in there, what comes up in terms of fear?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so focus on that feeling like you don't want to be with him, and ask that part what it's afraid would happen if it let you be with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, tell that part we understand why he'd want that, but we're going to ask him to give us the space to try and help this boy a different way and see if he'd be willing to step back and relax in there a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have to say it out loud, just inside, and see if you can sense that part receding or relaxing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, good. Okay, so let him know that you're there to help and see how he reacts to that news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's great. Yeah. Okay, so ask him what he wants you to know about himself and just wait for the answer to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's nice. Okay, Sam. Then go ahead and ask him to really let you get a sense of what happened to him to make him feel bullied. Just wait for whatever he wants to give you in the way of emotions, sensations, or images.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, does that make sense to you, Sam? That that would feel terrible?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so let him know that you get that, and whatever else he wants to give you and what it was like for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so we're going to ask the thinking part, the narrating part, to give us some space too. Just like we did the others, and see if that's possible. See if that thinking part would step out too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To really let you know what happened and how bad it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is he afraid of that original tough guy? He would beat you up for having cried?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we don't have to keep going if that's too scary, but let's ask that tough guy to go into a contained room in there for a while. Just tell him we'll talk to him afterwards and let him out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so now see if the part who came in to pull you away can let us go back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I promise if they really let you go all the way with this, we can heal this bullied guy so he's no longer stuck back there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'll no longer feel bad and then they won't have to worry about him. They just need to give us the space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that's great. See if you can get back to that boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let me talk to the part directly. Okay, so you there? Are you willing to talk to me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what are you afraid would happen if you let him go back to the boy and feel some of that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what would happen then if Sam was softer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got it. Alright, well, we don't want to screw everything up for you. On the other hand,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think some of why you have to keep the ship so tight of how hard you have to work is probably because this boy is in there and you're trying to keep Sam away from him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get that, so we won't do it without your permission.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you're willing, I promise we can do what I just said, and you'll be freed up to do something else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, that's great. So if you don't mind going into the waiting room just till we're done and let me talk to Sam again. Sam, see if you can get close to the boy now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. Let him know you're back and you're sorry that you let these parts pull you away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. How do you feel toward the two year old?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice. So let that part know, too, that you're with him and you care about him. And just see what he wants you to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we can just stay with this for a while if you want, but also be open if there's something they want you to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, just tell him that you're getting all of this and see if there's more he wants you to get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, but ask him if it does feel like you now get how much it did hurt, or if there's more of that he wants you to get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let him know you're good with that. You really want to feel it. As much as he wants you to. Does he feel like you really get how scared he was now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. So, Sam, I want you to go into that time period and be with him in the way he needed somebody then and just tell me when you're in there with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's take him wherever he wants to go. Could be the present, could be a fantasy place. Wherever he wants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh great, okay. How does he like it there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And tell him he never has to go back to that bullying time again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's all that relief, right? That's great. Yeah, he never has to go back there. That's really great, Sam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's really great. And he never has to go back and you're gonna be taking care of him now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. And ask now if he's ready to unload the feelings and beliefs he got back there that he's been carrying all this time. Ask where he carries all that in his body or around his body, throughout his body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, ask what he wants to give it all up to. Light, water, fire, wind, earth, or anything else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright Sam, so bring some light in and have it shine on him. And tell him to let all of that go out of his body, off his body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell him now to invite Quades into his body that he wants and just see what comes into him now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. So let's let all these guys out of the waiting room and have them all come in and see him now and see how they react.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let them know they don't have to protect him or they don't have to keep you away from him anymore. So they can start thinking about new roles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he's not you. Make that clear to him. He was beating up that kid which wasn't good, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He needs to think about a new role now. Ask him what he'd like to do if he really trusted he didn't have to protect you like he used to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can think about a new role. He doesn't have to decide right now. So how is it feeling in there now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, okay. So, does it feel complete for now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's exactly what you gotta tell him. You don't have to work to get in touch with him. He's around all the time. Just focus on him and talk to him about it. So, come on back. It's a beautiful piece of work, Zam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was over in Newton this afternoon, in the swan. I told them what goes on here ain't none of their business. You tell William that. You tell him I said that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 17, Berlin, Germany, April 1st, 1945, night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to say durometer, but the softness and hardness of the rubber, where does that kind of fall in line with most of the other tires?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you've been watching over the past few days, and you haven't, I've found myself in the middle of a battle over American healthcare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From Louisiana came on our show, made some promises and insurances that he did not keep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason I had him on the show in the first place is because he started telling people that any plan he supports would have to pass what he called the Jimmy Kimmel test. And then he teamed up with Senator Lindsey Graham to write a bill that most definitely does not pass that test. It doesn't protect people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From having their rates jacked up for pre-existing conditions doesn't prevent insurance companies from putting lifetime caps on how much they'll spend on a person with medical issues and it cuts a huge amount of money but maybe even hundreds of billions of dollars


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would not sign Graham-Cassidy if it did not include coverage of pre-existing conditions. It does. A great bill, repeal and replace. Which those are the key words, repeal and replace. Because for Donald Trump, this isn't about the Graham-Cassidy bill. It's about getting rid of Obamacare, which he hates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then after I accused Bill Cassidy of not telling the truth, the president wrote a tweet of support for him personally. He said, Senator Dr. Bill Cassidy is a class act who really cares about people and their healthcare. He doesn't lie. He just wants to help people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Senator Cassidy, after, you know, there's a lot of interest in this, he went on Fox News to fight back. He again said that I don't understand what I'm talking about because we haven't spoken for a year, which is not true, he was on my show four months ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he, I don't know what the point of speaking to him is, we spoke, he told me one thing, he did another, are we supposed to do that again? Some people tell me I should give him the benefit of the doubt, and you know what, I do give him the benefit of the doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bob Belkacity, I do admire what he's done with most of his life. He's a doctor, a gastroenterologist. He founded a community clinic in Baton Rouge. He's done good things. I just want him to keep doing good things. This plan is not a good thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His supporters say, well, you know, he's a doctor and you're not. What do you know? Well, to them I say all of these very reputable organizations, American Diabetes Association, American Medical Association, American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, the list goes on and on. All of these groups populated by doctors say this healthcare bill is bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they, they claim, as the President did, it protects people with pre-existing conditions, but it doesn't guarantee them protection. All you need to know is this. This is how the Vice President himself dodged that question this morning on Fox and Friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm pretty sure, by the way, I think he just told us we can't trust the president. His argument, their argument is that it's better to put these decisions in the hands of the states. And, I mean, have you seen some of our states, if Florida could make their own decisions, it would be legal to bring an alligator into a strip club. Okay? And, that doesn't even take into account the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe $200 billion in healthcare funding the bill would cut. Even if states did get to decide, that money would go away. And a lot of people have been saying that I'm not qualified to talk about this. And that is true. I'm not qualified to talk about this. But I think those people forget.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bill Cassidy named this test after me. Am I supposed to just be quiet about that? Some of these characters, they drag out of the swamp to defend this. This morning, Fox had the other senator from Louisiana, John Kennedy, no relation, as you will clearly see. This is what he had to say.

[Assistant] I wouldn't have to. You know, I see these comments from these angry people. They say, what qualifies you to talk about this stuff? You're a comedian. Go back to being not funny. And I feel like it's my duty to remind these people who are so concerned about my qualifications, the guy you voted for for president, his job qualification was this.

[Assistant] See that tree? There's one just like it outside my window back home. I'll bet there's one you remember too. The doctor said that you're to sit up for a while today. Your jaw is knitting beautifully. The wires will come out in a day or two. When you get tired, wrap on the nightstand. It won't be long before you'll be able to call for me. I'll bet that'll be a relief.

[Assistant] About 20 miles. How far? 20 miles. Then you get out and walk another 10. You know, to get the stiffness out of you.

[Assistant] Then he knows where it is. Don't let him waste no more time, boss. He'll talk.

[Assistant] As it was a raw evening and I was cold, I thought I would comfort myself with dinner at once, and as I had hours of dejection and solitude before me if I went home to the temple, I thought I would afterwards go to the play.

[Assistant] The theater where Mr. Wopsle had achieved his questionable triumph was in that Warnerside neighborhood. It is nowhere now. And to that theater I resolved to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was aware that Mr. Wopsle had not succeeded in reviving the drama, but on the contrary had rather partaken of its decline.

[Assistant] Man Herbert had seen him as a predatory tartar of comic propensities with a face like a red brick and an outrageous hat all over bells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dined at what Herbert and I used to call a geographical chop house.

[Assistant] There I found a virtuous boson in His Majesty's service, a most excellent man, though I could have wished his trousers not quite so tight in some places and not quite so loose in others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who knocked all the little men's hats over their eyes, though he was very generous and brave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And who wouldn't hear of anybody's paying taxes, though he was very patriotic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a bag of money in his pocket like a pudding in the cloth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And on that property married a young person in bed furniture with great rejoicing.

[Assistant] The whole population of Portsmouth, nine in number at the last census, turning out on the beach to rub their own hands and shake everybody else's and sing Phil Phil.

[Assistant] A certain dark complexion swab, however, who wouldn't fill or do anything else that was proposed to him, and whose heart was openly stated by the boson to be as black as his figurehead, proposed to two other swabs to get all mankind into difficulties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was so effectually done, the Swab family having considerable political influence, that it took half the evening to set things right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And listening and coming out and knocking everybody down from behind with the gridiron whom he couldn't confute with what he had overheard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This led to Mr. Watzels, who had never been heard of before,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To say that the swabs were all to go to prison on the spot, and that he had brought the bosom down the Union Jack as a slight acknowledgement of his public services.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The boson, unmanned for the first time, respectfully dried his eyes on the jack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then cheering up and addressing Mr. Wopsle as your honor, solicited permission to take him by the fin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Wopsle, conceding his fin with a gracious dignity, was immediately shoved into a dusty corner while everybody danced a hornpipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And from that corner, surveying the public with a discontented eye, became aware of me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd have been struggling. I don't know if I would have been able to turn that around. I don't think I would have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And because he was being treated like someone who'd won majors, financially and stardom-wise, he was already on that level. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With our different personalities and the different games and on and on, I mean it was just a great clash. Nike blew it up with the commercials and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like they hang out a lot together, but they're never going to say anything bad about each other, and I think they both feel it's a measuring stick to see how they're playing, and they like the challenge of playing each other.

[Assistant] I talked to Gil Reyes, his trainer about that and he said, he told Andre, he said, look, the only thing you don't want to do when you've hit your last wall is look back and say, you know, I could have done this or I could have done that and I didn't.
