[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so everything is pointing in that direction. KT says, Q, uh, what are your thoughts on Jordan Howden? Love Jordan Howden, bro. I think he just need a little bit more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reps to develop, but he's the future of the safety position for the black and gold to be honest with you. If you turn around and look at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know Tyron Matthews on the back in his career. We know Marcus May has injury concerns, plus he'll be out three games. I'd say three games with, uh, uh, with the, uh, DUI situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Carolina has something, man, but I don't think they have addition. I think Carolina is a team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That uh, that did everything that it was supposed to do. They built up the defense. They continue to be proactive and for agency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the position of the really big position is being able to deal with the quarterback position. And Bryce Jones is a good young quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people, when at first the process started, they were saying, nah, we need CJ Stroll. And I was telling them, nah, no, no, no, CJ Stroll.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's good, but he's not a Bryce young and people would pick and strolled over young because of the height.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if they were both 6'3", Bryce Young would be further along than a guy like, and they finally seen what I was saying because we, I seen a lot of them. I scouted him. He was in the SEC. We played them all the time at LSU.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we've seen what he was, but I'm telling you with a rookie quarterback, he's already a first round draft pick. You built this team with all these rookies looking at him like he's the man and you gotta understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guy's a rookie. He never seen the NFL level before. He had a few steps, snaps and rips in live game action. That's not enough to say, okay, we're going to win 10 games. You'll learn cause he's smart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at the same time, they have other issues to be concerned about like their offensive line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That guy, you can't let a guy like him, and he beefed up a bit, but still and all, you can't let any quarterback take shots like he was taking shots. So that, that, that, that has to change. And I think eventually, maybe not this year, but I think next year and into the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Carolina will be, they'll be very formidable for the Saints to deal with because Bryce Young will add something just, he will make them a very exciting football team. Just not this year. So I mean, I think they're good. Just, I don't, I don't see it this year. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Colorado, shout out to you. Appreciate, appreciate you being here as well. Much love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember last year when the picks came and Keith Kirkwood was balling out all training camp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mini camp, training camp, pre-season, he was doing everything he was supposed to be doing. And then it came down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they picked up from Minnesota, he's with Green Bay because Green Bay pilfered them off the Saints practice squad because the Saints didn't want to give up Zach Bowen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They chose Zach Bowen and Traquan Smith, both players who wasn't doing anything in training camp or in preseason. Matter of fact, Traquan Smith was dropping touchdown passes in the preseason, by the way, and still made the damn team. Zach Bowen didn't do anything compared basically


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Against Eric Wilson, who was shining. Eric Wilson was the second best linebacker, not named Amario Davis. He was out there doing this thing. He was out there running or just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just everything, his energy, like I told you, he reminds me of a smaller version of Cam Jordan. Like the excitement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And energy cam plays with cam plays. He got this, these, his eyes is bucking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he looked and he just loaded with energy. And that's how Eric Wilson played. He had the same infectious Cam Jordan type energy. And he knew what he was doing. He was a, uh, a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfect fit for the Saints linebacker room. He knew the plays. He was operating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they put the man on the practice squad along with him and Kirk Merritt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, that's the story. So I didn't like that call. I thought that was a dumb ass call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, with him choosing Trey Quine Smith and Zach Bowen over him, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, over those guys when it's supposed to be, you supposed to go with the most productive guy that's showing you something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they say that, but they don't always follow that. And Dennis Allen did that last year. And I'm like, okay, he did that last year. What does he do this year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, only way we find out in a couple days when we see we cuts. But Shaq Davis shouldn't be cut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You dig? A.T. Perry won't be cut. Shaq Davis shouldn't be cut, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's for Zach Bowen. Did he do enough not to be cut? Jalen Smith outplayed Zach Bowen and Jalen Smith just got here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's, you know, you're looking at all the years that Jalen Smith's played and he's familiar with the system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you had a guy that's been here for what? How long has that been? Four years now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he still hasn't maturated to the point where he's the, and Jalen Smith sitting ahead of him on the depth chart. So I mean, when, when is enough enough?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You dig? So that's what I'm saying when it comes down to guys like that and what he does. So we'll see, man. I don't know, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm, I'm saying, it's, it's a strange occurrence, man. Bad decision calling on, on that anyway. Joe, what's up? Joe, shout out to you, brother. Good to see you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up, Abbott says they should make Tre'Quan a block on kickoff returns. Might as well take advantage of his blocking talent. He's hurt right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trey Kwan Smith dealing with a growing issue. Does he make the team as an active wide receiver? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he shouldn't. Cause number one, he's hurt. And number two, he didn't do a damn thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't outplay Shaq. He didn't out, he didn't outplay A.T. Perry. Hell, he didn't outplay Lin-Balden Jr. Who has, uh, kick return and return ability. Yeah, none of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So no, now should he make the practice quiet? Yeah, he qualifies for that because he needs a lot of practice. At the end of the day, he's still hurt. So how could the saints make it count where?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a certain limited amount of practice squad spots that they want to add talent, but they have an unlimited amount of injury spots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just put Trequan Smith on the IR. Just announce to the world that Trequan Smith's on the IR and save him and then you can bring him back after several weeks or so whenever you need him or if you feel like you're having problems with injuries in a while. See, room hell, I can bring Trequan Smith ass back off the IR.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause they haven't released them yet. They haven't given them an injury settlement. They hadn't released them. You see what I'm saying? So something's up their foot. You know, they got something they sitting on here. I'm just going to be honest with you. All right. We'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They bet not release Jalen Smith the way Jalen Smith's been planned. That'll be a bad decision by the Saints to do that because Zach Bowen


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not ready, man. I mean, I hate to say that to Zach Boyle. He's played all right, but Zach Boyle to me is not ready for a starting position. Shout out to Lonnie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, keep pounding. All right, Lonnie, Lonnie likes his squad, man. I, I, I, like I told the Carolina path, the family members, man, you know, got quite a few of them to listen to the stream. Always keep it real on the team, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Larry says Trey Quan and Kirkwood can't even get 300 receiving yards in the season so they expendable, but Dennis Allen is dumb enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's my call bro, we'll see. Mr. Shock says, what are you most excited for week one on offense and what worries you the most about the defense coming into week one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well, I'm really excited about to see what the Saints look like in terms of their offense, like that first drop. And listen, let me say this too, fam, and I'm going to talk about this later on when we get to the, uh, the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game when we do the play by play, the preview and everything for the game coming up later on this afternoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me just say this. I really disagree with Dennis Allen's decision not to play Derek Carr in the, in the starters in this matchup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason why I disagree with the decision of not playing him is because of how everything works out from a schedule standpoint. We've seen Carr in the offense one time in the preseason, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a series. Let's see them for at least one series against the Texans because, and the reason why I'm saying that is because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once this preseason matchup is over, you have two weeks to wait before NFL game is played. So, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get them some live, like one series of live game reps together. At least that much. Every little bit counts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you won't see the Saints. It won't be next week coming, but the week after that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I mean, there's a good little gap of time between the last preseason game and the first game of the year for the Saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of, uh, you know, a little, a little opportunity going on. That's what the Texans are looking at. Texas like, hey man, we ain't going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's get a series in there, so I don't totally agree with all that, man, but it is what it is. Alright, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really excited about for week one, seeing more of this, you know, on that, on that note, seeing what the first team offense for the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the saints look like. Michael Thomas is healthy. Very excited. That's probably the most excited thing I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's finally seeing Michael Thomas 100% healthy with no restrictions. I'm very excited about that. I'm super excited about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Chris Lavi and the three top wide receivers that we have simply because Michael Thomas has a wide receiver that perfectly complements him. You got a deep, a deep guy that can go down the field, stretch out the defenses. They can't double down on Mike anymore, which makes his game a lot easier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with him healthier, he'll just do what Michael Thomas does, dominate. And they won't be able to double team him or triple team him because there are people elsewhere that they got the shift attention to. Chris Olavi forces them to kind of drop, put them safeties back up there because we got Rasheed Shaheed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And both Olavi that can take the tops off of their defenses. So we gotta, that forced the safeties to play that high, that double high. We gotta stay out there and keep them guys back there, which provides more room underneath. So I'm super excited about Michael Thomas, man, being healthy, seeing with him Chris Olavi and Rashid Shaheed look like with Derek Carr as the quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually when Alvin comes back, Jamal Williams, Taysom Hill, Jimmy Graham. I mean, there's so many phenomenal weapons. Just the first team offense or the, the unit or the, all of the great players that we have just getting them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And watching them get it together. That's what I'm excited about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of, uh, he says, what's the worry about the defense coming into week one? I'll be honest with y'all, I don't have any real words about the Saints defense up to this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess my old worry was could the Saints stop the run and watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those guys play man together, Malcolm Roach. They just look revigorated. They look just terrific. And I'm just, I don't have any of those, those underlying worries about the Saints defense, stopping the run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After watching Saunders, Shepard, Roach, and all those guys, man, I just think that the defense is going to be fantastic. Passing you, I'm really happy about how passing you has really looked. I think, I think Isaiah Foskey will improve. But yeah, man, that's what I'm excited about. I don't really have any worries about the Saints defense, you know, that's a positive. All right. Thank you, Mr. Shock for that. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Chris says, Q, uh, who do you see Carr doing when we get, he says, who do you see Carr doing? Do we get a championship or a playoffs? Do we get a Super Bowl or with Derek Carr at the quarterback?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Health is a big part of it, right? So, I mean, the Saints fortify our offense and Michael Thomas stays healthy for the majority of the season. We get Elvin Kamar found.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game is all about matchups, right? I mean, how do you match up with Michael Thomas, Chris Olavi, Elvin Kamara, Jamal Williams, Taysom Hill, Jimmy Graham, Foster Monroe, Jawaan Jah. I mean, how do you match up with all of those? You can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is, you don't have enough defensive players as talented enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To stay in front of the saints with a lineup like that and the saints know that. And not only that, but you had Gruden coming in here teaching Carmichael.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What to do, and listen, by the way fam, this is a really interesting game too because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is very thought provoking that Dennis Allen is allowing Joe Woods to call the defense


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For this final preseason game and Ronald Curry is the offensive coordinator calling the offensive plays for the offense. That is very progressive, very imaginative. Could this lead to Joe Woods doing it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could he do, could this be it? That is, that's something, something that we, that I've seen that they talked about that we not talking enough about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Dennis Allen is a guy that usually don't do that. He don't relinquish. Even in the preseason, I'mma call this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He let Joe Woods, Joe Woods is going to be calling the defensive plays for this final preseason game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But often that is very progressive. Could this lead?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's something more positive in terms of Joe Woods calling the plays as the season gets further along. Could dispel that. Very progressive by the Saints. I'll just throw that out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But absolutely. I think when I gave the Saints 12 wins this year, I think the Saints could get 12 wins this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we face a lot of rookie quarterbacks if we don't make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is a big part of it too fam. The overall, what is the intelligence level, and I say this before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is the overall intelligence level and more importantly, what is the overall intelligence?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Level in terms of defensive discipline. I mean, offensive defense, uh, discipline. That's what it comes down to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Intelligence, IQ football, high IQ football and discipline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not jumping offside in these ridiculous, uh, pre-snap penalties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On that, you know, the stuff that hurts you, that you are in control in. We've seen a lot of penalties and a lot of those guys with backups. But man, what can I tell you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What could we be dealing with here coming into the season? We should see a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let, you know, seeing all those penalties was mostly a bunch of backups. We won't see a lot of those guys. Thank goodness when the actual games count.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like I said, ultimately the IQ of the team, I think it's good, but the discipline, how disciplined is this team?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of making pre snap penalties that hurt us a lot. That'll, because when you get into contests with teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a Kansas City Chief or some of these other teams that are more disciplined in terms, they don't shoot themselves in the foot, uh, pre-snap penalties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That will determine a lot because some of these other teams would just make you just make you hurt yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's a part of it that we looked awful last year with, and that kind of leans on, that leans and falls on Dennis Allen. Are they ready to play in that regard? So that's a big if too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, is he not Chris? All right, shout out to that brother, man. Shaq Davis is a good dude, man. That's, that's, that brother is really humble brother and good. All right, brother, the rail. How you doing, sir? Shout out to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, y'all with me, man. I agree with you, bro. I think he better not be cut. Okay. Okay. MT is a baby Megatron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't stop, you can't stop Michael Thomas when he gets going, man, and he ain't gonna be able to double team him. That's another thing I'm super excited about, man. Like I said, Mike Thomas, man, this is the first time in a long time, fam. We had Mike Thomas without any restriction. He's totally healthy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet a really solid preseason and a really solid training camp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's excited about being back. He redone his deal. It's a one year proven deal. He's excited. He's look, he's look awesome in training camp and in preseason. Michael Thomas is ready to go for the first time in a while. That's something to be very excited about if you're a man, you're black and gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, man or lady, you got to be excited about that. Mr. Shock says,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for taking the time to answer. Okay, thank you bro for being here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, thank you, fam. Appreciate you, man. Appreciate it. Thank y'all. The Gray Saint Thank Tank to me is the greatest man, the most intelligent group of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About all the great things. Hemisphere says Curry did call the Chargers game. Oh, did he? Okay, yeaah. Oh, you sure right, he did call it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, anyway, we said Joe Woods called, it's more, you know what, not so much offense, but really on the defense side that Dennis Allen surrendering the calling duties for a preseason game, just one anyway, to Joe Woods. Is that, uh, is that a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Future thing could, it possibly, you saying, okay, let me see how Joe handled it. He loves Joe Woods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He loves Joe Woods. He see talk very highly of Joe. He loves Joe Woods. So could this be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something we can see and I would love to see Joe Woods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, see how aggressive or what kind of game he calls here against the Texans. Would love to see that. But more and so, more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you trust Joe Woods and you love Joe Woods as much as he says he does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then time is to let Joe Woods kind of call in place. Dennis Allen acts mainly as a manager or an overseer of the talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and you can see already he looks really relaxed, comfortable and more focused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he's trusting the staff around him. So yeaah, could this be something more we can look to? Yeaah, it's very cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, Matt says three and 0 in the preseason. All right. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Alright, so anyway, let's go to the next article here fam. I have another article I want to show with you guys and this one's coming from my good friends at the Saints News Network, Bob Rose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Saints positions to watch against the Texans, several players are down to their last chance to earn jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the Saints take on the Texans to wrap up the NFL preseason. So shout out to Bob Rose, Saints News Network, Kyle T. Mosley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Tuesday, August the 19th, coach Allen has already said that QB Derek Carr and most of the projected starters will sit this one out. It also the last chance for many of the bubble players to either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we know Daryl Williams, Zach Bowen, Jonathan Ambram are among few veterans who may need an outstanding performance to hold on to their jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Saints second and third string offense has been putrid through the two preseason games. That's definitely one position to watch on a unit desperate, desperately for quality depth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's a look at the other position groups to watch closest against the Texans. Some roster battles come down to the wire. He's got the kickers in there. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will Lutz has been the Saints Kicker since 2016. Mine is surgery. That's how I aligned him in 21.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never faced the roster competition that undrafted rookie Blake Group A has given him this preseason. Group A has converted all three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of his field goals during preseason, including a last minute game winner against the Chiefs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lutz has connected on all four of his field goal tries, including the 50 yard against the Chargers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe that the saint stay with the range and experience of Lutz. I also expect group A to develop a sudden and mysterious injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the coming days, allowing the saints to stash them on the IR. That's right, Bob.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, you better believe it. Shout out to brother Abraham, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good to see you out there, man. Alright. Yeah, he knows how this goes. Absolutely. We're looking forward to Group A having an ingrown toe injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you know, something strange like that, you know, and it's saying statue. And like I said, it's a, it's a, it's a very, very well, you know, you got a good player, man. And.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got, you know, good players and you know what you got? Dude, you got to kind of, and you know that look, it might not, and this happened before with Gilligan. Gilligan was a year, came here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blake, they were so intrigued with Blake Gilligan that they, and they wanted to keep, so they stashed Blake Gilligan for one year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While Tommy Morstead standing, when Tommy Morstead's contract was up, he left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the Saints signed Blake, you know, they brung Blake Group A onto the act of roster the following year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the, the IRL list is a way for you to keep talent away from other people. And if you know Blake Group A.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is a hell of a kicker and you know that you got Will Lutz on a one year deal. This could be a similar situation in which Will Lutz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leaves for bigger money and you got Group A weight in the wings like we did with Blake Gilligan. Absolutely, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know how this goes. Bob knows, Bob knows how this goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so anyway, let's keep it moving, man. Let's go to the next one here. It's the wide receiver position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The remaining receivers continue to battle it out for the final one or two spots available. New Orleans has kept six wide outs over the last few season, but there's because of one of these receivers is also a return specialist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there you go, Chris Olavi, Rashish Ayubi, top three wide outs. Remaining receivers continue to battle off for the final one or two spots. And, uh, New Orleans has kept six wide outs over the past few seasons, but because of those receivers, also a return specialist, Len Bowden, has been used quite a bit during camp. So we're looking to see what kind of that stuff that could be going on as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Bowden has been effective on short pass because of the open field skills, but may need to make a strong outing against Houston's secure spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Undrafted rookie Shaq Davis is also making a strong late push to earn a spot there. So undrafted rookie. So we know that Shaq Davis is, we know that Shaq Davis is the guy that is doing this thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we are also very proud of Shaq Davis. We want Shaq Davis to make a job. You put Shaq Davis as an injury guy, you gonna put him in the streets, you gonna be in trouble. Let me tell you something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, so in draft the rookie, he's going to be there. So he made some spectacular catches in traffic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bobby can also make a special teams contribution that Sutton Davis hasn't shown. Keith Kirkwood also had a standout training camp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's shown a good chemistry with card. The fact that he didn't even suit up against the charges can indicate that he's an inside track on the depth chart. So that's interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Special teams make a contribution, something Davis hasn't shown. So Shaq Davis is not a special teams kick returner, but a team he's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he said that he can do it for you, but they have not allowed him to do it. That's why I'm looking at a guy like Len Bowden Jr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they'll go to a veteran kick returner after some guys clear waivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so I, that's why I'm saying I'm giving it to no, there's not, there's not had there, there has not been a better kick, a returner that the Saints have had during this off season of Lynn Bowden Jr. There's nobody. Kiki Kote was released.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ugo Amadi did it, what, once or twice? Nothing? Shaq Davis has never done it, to my knowledge, and it's been a return. So, the best one they've had is Lynn Baldwin Jr., which is why I got him to make it in the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. So Keith Kirkwood also had a standout training cabinet showing good chemistry. Recall the fact that he didn't even suit up against the charges could indicate that he has inside track on a depth chart. We'll see.

[Assistant] Perpetually disappointing Trey Kwan Smith. The perpetually disappointing Trey Kwan Smith will probably not play against Houston. Davis and Bowdoin will have great opportunities to try.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And grab jobs, but if not the active roster, then definitely the practice squad if they clear waivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't completely count out John Trey Kirkland or Quine Baker either, though they seem more destined for the practice squad. So they hadn't released, they had not released, um, Trey Quine Smith. I already told y'all my thoughts on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think he ended up to the injury list. Alright, for the linebackers, how about this? New Orleans checked off the huge knee when they signed linebacker Jaleigh Smith earlier this month. Smith may see a couple of series against the Texans for extra reps, but looks like a sure bet to be the third linebacker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Demario Davis and Pete Werner, the real battle here was who fills out the rest of the depth chart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zach Bowen has been the most experienced on the remaining group. However, Bowen continues to be a major liability in coverage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bob's seen on there, he's been out of the position several times taking porous angles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rookie anthology have shown good special team skills, which has been born strength, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, has, have, they've shown enough to supplant Bowen and will the Saints carry five or six linebackers. Former collegiate safety, Sewell has both, both, uh, preseason games and placed on an injury, uh, excuse me, former collegiate safety. Sewell has started both preseason games in place of an injured Davis. Jackson is outstanding athlete and has come on strong lately. Now, truth of the matter is, let me finish this breakdown here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was seen observed to carry a limited defender like born over players who have all played him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And offer more upside, however strange things happen at the roster cut down time. Sometimes jobs are earned or lost based on performances in the last preseason game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's absolutely right. Nephi Sewell and DeMarco Jackson have all looked better than Zach Bourne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jalen Smith has taken Zach Bowen's spot from the third linebacker position, so he's really the fourth linebacker position. He does play special teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But is it finally time for the Sinks to kind of get free of Zach Bowen and play more of a Nephi Sewell? Now me personally, I'm being my active.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did my, uh, call. Shout out to Bob with a terrific article.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but when I did the final roster projections, I had Zach Boyne making a team because I believe the Saints don't really Zach Boyne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like on, on release Trey Kwan Smith. Well, I mean, they'll probably, they're going to IR them, if anything, or, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the IRM, I think when it all come out, they're gonna IR Trey Quine Smith. I just, what I think. I don't, for whatever reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just feel like that when it all comes down, truth be told that neither one of these men should be on the team when they're cutting it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, not on the act of Rothstein. Zach Bowen shouldn't be there. He has been outplayed, but the Saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just see that they're going to continue to give him as much, as much opportunities as possible because he's a third round pick is value with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They see it as value versus an undrafted guy. You know, unfortunately, that's how it is, but I think so. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, thank you Lady T says, it's our heavenly father cube plus there's, yeah, you know, you're right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's the, it's different titles and terms that people over time call them. The heavenly father, the divine father, uh, the grand architect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's, you know, the cosmic power, the cosmic god, you know, it's all these titles turn, you know, countless titles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To describe it, you know, like if you're a Star Wars person, they call it the Force, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, there's no past life. Satan, he blessed with your skills for God. Thank you, appreciate you. Uhm, like I said, I just, I thank the Mosiah for blessing me with you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being here and listening to me and, uh, we just talking and having fun and enjoying each other. So thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, PelicansNola says, what's up Cube? Shout out to you fam. Appreciate you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eugene, shout out to you, man. Shout out to you from South Philly. Much love, man. I appreciate you. Tyree, shout out to you fam. Speaking of the storm, there you go. Alright, so anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have an idea for some of these players and like Zach Bourne, I don't think, you know, and me personally, if I'm making the charts, I don't think Zach Bourne makes it because my philosophy is if you have a guy on the team, I don't care if he's a, well, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Depending on where he is in his development. We got Zach Bowen, he's the third round pick. The Saints gave up picks to move up to go and get Bowen, right? Y'all remember that? We gave up something a little extra to move up to grab him from Wisconsin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was never used in a way they said he was gonna use. He was never totally, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Melted into what they had going on and he had injuries last year when he went trading with the Watts. He came back. He looked really good. Then he got banged up. It all went away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But really heard Zach born and Bob spoke on it on his, his piece was that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not very good in coverage and the reason why a lot of times Zach Bowen takes bad angles or he's not positioned where he's supposed to be or he's reacting to a play late, you know, his instincts need to improve. Like maybe he's thinking too much. Like they say, you know, you can't play and think you have to act on instinct and he's not doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I mean, yeaah, we'll have to see how it all plays, but yeaah, we'll see how it all works man, to be real with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But me personally, if I was doing it and I was making the picks, I wouldn't, Zach Vaughn wouldn't be on the team. Cause this is last year, we've given them every opportunity and Trey Quan Smith wouldn't be on this team either. I'll be giving other people opportunities to step up. Cause I don't, you don't show me everything. You know, you don't, the man on plateau, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, plateaued, he won't be any better than what he is now. I can't say that about Shaq Davis or A.T. Perry. These guys have potential to graduate into higher roles and be really good wide receivers. We can't say that about Smith because to me he's plateaued just like a Kelvin Throckmorton is plateaued.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of these other players, they hit their ceiling. Some of these other guys, they still got a lot more room to go. So, you know, we watch these guys all the time. All right. All right. There you go. Shout out to Tasha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dog, Big Sean. All right, chef. What's happening, chef? Good to see you in the building. Pelicanola says kitty cats on three soon to be on five after week number two. Thank you. Appreciate y'all. Yeah fam, so that's a couple of the calls there to projection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, roster projection. Once again, let me go over it for the family members who probably jumping in the stream late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, we covered it, talked about in, uh, you know, on the whodaddaily.com. If y'all guys want to follow it, you can feel free to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the whodaddaily.com, the link is in the description section below, but y'all guys can go ahead on and check it out. And, uh, for yourselves and see what's popping and snapping, you can share it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And read over it. But yeaah, this is pretty much what it is. And I think I got it down on plaque. We got L. And I talked about the running backs. I think Ellis Merriwetham, Silver Darrell Williams. I think, uh, Ellis Merriwetham improved to the Saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he can catch the ball out the backfield, that he runs hard, and he's had, and he's taken all the events he can as a guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When guys are getting banged up, he showed the saints that he can be relied upon. I think he made an impact. And then we talk about the wide, I think the biggest, uh, surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my, uh, depth chart was the fact that I have six wide receivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael Thomas, Alavi and Rashid are top three with AT Perry. We know he's going to make it. Shaq Davis to me should find his way on this team. And I got Lynn Bowden Jr. So I got three, uh, six, excuse me, six wide receivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the team and Lin Bowden makes it because he's the best kick returner we have. I don't want Rashid Shahid there I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Shaq Davis' ceiling is a lot higher than Keith Kirkwood's. You dig?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keith Kirkwood said, well Q, he was balling out, but if y'all remember, Keith Kirkwood, just the same Keith Kirkwood we was getting before he went to Carolina and, you know, and didn't look good. Remember he had to get the Carolina stuff off of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a black and gold building and he looked like he was prior to it. This is the same Keith Kirkwood we had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A couple years ago when he was with the Saints. So he was like, okay, did he get better? This is the same guy. It's just last year he just looked out of sorts because remember he went up there to Carolina and played under them for a year or so and to come back here and find out what he had to do, he was dropping passes and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the guy we got now that's, that's representing in training camp and in the games, the same Keith Kirkwood we had two years ago, or, you know, a couple of years ago before he went to Carolina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So is he really much, that much improved?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like Keith Kirkwood as a player, but Shaq Davis to me has a higher upside. So that's the biggest thing right there. You can see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the defensive line is very easy. Uh, Cam, Granderson, Turner, passing Yofoski, Saunders, Sheppard, uh, Brian Bressi and Malcolm Roach. Very easy. Uh, no, Jack Heflin. I like Jack Heflin. I just think Jack Heflin and Nico Lollos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come along at the wrong time in terms of what the Saints have. The Saints are littered and loaded with talent all along the defensive line. And it would have been tough sledding for any one of them. This guy could have had 10 sacks and still not made the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could have had 10 sacks in the preseason and not made the team. That's how.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how good the Saints defensive line is and how sturdy they are going into the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, the linebackers, they got five here listed with actually is, uh, five, I mean, four, six. I'm sorry. I'm crazy. All right. Six of them listed, but actually is five with Davis, Warner, Jalen Smith, Braun, and DeMarco Jackson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zach Bowen, but I'm, I'm making this like the saints are picking it, not me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'm looking at, okay, I think that, you know, based on what I seen and what, what they.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't think they, I would be really surprised if they let go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And put in the street, either Zach Bowen or a guy like Trey Quan Smith, who's he, who's banged up right now. I'll be really surprised. That's because they hold on to these guys for whatever reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course you guys see right there, the cornerbacks showing four, but Lonnie Johnson, Jr. Plays corner and safety for the Sanchez duality there. At one point I was had Isaac Yidam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I said, when you're picking it, the spot gotta come from somewhere when you add.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, extra wide receiver spot to the wide receivers, you go from five to six, the spot gotta come somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it came from the, the corner back room one spot because.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I was thinking, I was like, okay, I like how Isaac Yidam played. I really like Isaac Yidam. He came by the time down to Yidam, Hugo Amadi, Lonnie Johnson Jr. I thought Hugo Amadi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did really well to make the team. He should make the team. He had a lot of really positive plays. So did Isaac Yudham, but it's tough sledding. You have to kind of balance that thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you can play multiple positions, you can play the corner and the safety so he can add value in the corner back room and the safety room. So when a guy like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can have one of these guys sliding in, perhaps a Jonathan Abram or Smoke Monday can help out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When them guys, it's not there. So of course I got Blake Gilligan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the punter, and Zach Wood is longstop, and Will Lutz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, certain injury happens to keep Blake Grupe as our future kicker. Cause I, and Pammy mentioned it. I think, uh, we, we definitely keep, uh, something going to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Group A is going to be around for a while. So yeah, you go. What's up Gundam? Shout out to you, my brother. Uh, all right. Yeah. Hey man, you know, that's, that's how the Saints do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we see what happened with Brian. That was Brian. That was another guy that Carl liked. He, he was involved in a couple of problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although I think the second play was more incidental contact, but whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he had a couple of plays where bad balls was thrown to him and they were either overthrown or, you know, whatever. It just didn't look good in the preseason matchup. So he's gone. So when you look at that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You kind of phrase back and think to yourself, which would be a better commodity for the saints, although


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having a veteran wire receiver amongst the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause Keith Kirkwood looks really good, but like I said, this is the same Keith Kirkwood we got before he went to Carolina. Remember Keith Kirkwood, this is the same guy in my mind. He was doing this type of stuff before he left over there. So I don't know if I can say he's, he's better than what he was last year. Cause he was just, that was the worst we've seen him. But you know, the ceiling on a Shaq Davis, a six, five, 217 pound wide receiver who can block and catch, you know, what you're going to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I'll try to find me a veteran wide receiver to put on a practice squad. They're probably going to be several of them, but a guy as talented as Shaq Davis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if I would, I know AT Para makes the team, but Shaq Davis, I don't know. And really, you know, none of these other, and what hurts him is none of these guys are returners. Like Shaq Davis is not a returner. Keith Kirkwood is not a returner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if he was in the return room, then that'll make it all so easy for Keith Kirkwood to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, who that, uh, Fly Pelican says Shaq and Paragamers can't lose none of them boys. See, the family members are in the grints. Yoshi said, I feel like they're keeping Trickwine because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drew Brees catch. I hope not, bro. That's long gone, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, don't call Atlanta, call them wannabe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New Orleans East is what I call it, my friend. They didn't, they didn't took a lot of our stuff East, man. That's what I call it. All right. OG said, I think ladies, we'm going to. All right. Okay. Shout out to the OG. Thank you, OG. All right. Pops TG says, uh, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, what a, okay, I, I, you got to throw another one in there. He says, here you go. What am I supposed to do for four? Okay, I know bro, we ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we got four hours, bro, and I'll be popping back up here at around six o'clock, man, and we'll be doing it again, man, and talking it, man. I'll be doing the play by play, man.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That nation man in the final preseason game. And then after that, we got a little bit to wait to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know why the NFL did what they did, man. You know, we gotta wait, what, two weeks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the, the last preseason game to get that, that, that is, I don't know what the thinking on that is, but I, it's just, I don't get it. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't guess it's a break in the action then they start, I don't know man, for us anyway, it seems like a long time, it is. Alright, anyway, with that being said, let me get on that man.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're going over to warn the opposition, don't bother. The story's in type and ready to roll. Okay, Carl, start running.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's sad this had to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sad for Catherine and sad for the people that love her. I know how you feel because I love her too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The easiest thing when I come here 40 years ago would be to let the Earth lie dead. Unplowed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The easiest thing would be for me not to raise a family and make them believe the things I believe. So, you want to get married. Well, go ahead. This is not important to me. I thought that Catherine was married to the truth, but now that she wants to quit and that you want her to, I don't care whether you get married or not.

[Assistant] My name is Luca Faccio. I'm a photographer and live in Vienna. I've been able to travel to North Korea seven times since 2005, getting a picture of the country's people and their world view.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During these trips I saw more than I was allowed to be shown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any journalist visiting the country is accompanied by minders around the clock. I've known mine for a few years now. Here, I'm taking pictures with them. They check what you film, who you talk to, and what about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I noticed that there are a few new ideas for many of the people caught in this collective mindset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A paranoid system, one that I too have to submit to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a requirement on every visit to start by going to the statues of the two great leaders. I'm familiar with this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're part of the large Mansudae monument, which commemorates North Korea's fight against the Japanese occupation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The capital, Pyongyang, is home to more than 3 million people and to a middle class that's becoming


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] economically, increasingly independent of the state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A middle class that could in the long term become a problem for the regime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Around 2 million mobile phones have been approved since 2008. I'm currently being monitored with one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're used for phone calls too, but only domestic ones and for selected citizens, such as my minder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the first time I've been allowed to travel by taxi. Of course, only with my minder. We're going to a supermarket in which I even discover typically western products. In my opinion, the people are strikingly well dressed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are casinos and I even spot some Viennese coffee culture here. Of course, I'm the only guest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Much to my surprise the state television shows western propaganda figures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During my visit, the controversial Slovenian rock group Laibach was the first western band to be allowed to perform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dreams of reunification between North and South still exist here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they regularly melt away as a result of new provocations and everyday aggressive posturing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At what's been called the world's most dangerous border.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've tried to find out what the North Koreans are really like because for me, they're a perfectly normal people behind the system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appearances are deceptive. I'm not in a conventional souvenir shop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm in Panmunjong in the demilitarized zone. There's no shortage of coffee, smiles,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I drive through the demilitarized zone with my minders, three in total. The atmosphere's unpleasant, full of tension and surreal. On the day before my visit shots were fired. Today military exercises are taking place. It smells of gunpowder and war. My minder tells me his army will protect me. That's no comfort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The zone stretches across the entire peninsula along the 38th parallel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is where the Allies arbitrarily divided the country after the Second World War.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The border zone is 248 kilometres long and 4 kilometres wide. It's considered the most dangerous border in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I meet a Colonel here, I've known him for ten years, so well in fact that we often drink schnapps together after our meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's clear to me that there's the person in the uniform and the person underneath it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Colonel takes me from one barracks to the next. It's always important to mention how often which leader has been to the site. He has to tell me that, but he's clearly also interested in other things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evil Americans who move buildings. Sounds like a fairy tale to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The casual way in which war gets discussed here sounds to me like Italians talking about football. My trip continues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're on our way to the notorious blue buildings in which the meetings between the delegates from North and South Korea take place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the exact border between the two countries, drawn by the victorious allies of the Second World War.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here they are. The Blue Huts. The start of the drama for the Korean people. In the middle of an impenetrable border. The Berlian War was a garden fence by comparison, it said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few meters from here is South Korea. Anyone wanting to get across is shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I later learned that the interpreter gave me a different translation, maybe to save face or maybe on purpose, I don't know. Critical questions are dangerous here. There are 13 newspapers in North Korea, but only one opinion. Back in Pyongyang,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to find out what people think about the two Koreas reuniting. I'm allowed to talk about this with a young student.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next obligatory item on the agenda is a visit to Kim Il-sung's birthplace. He's the founder of the state and the house where he was born is a veritable site of pilgrimage that everyone has to visit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone loves the great leader. But is that true?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It becomes impossible to determine what's real and what's staged here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're laid once and then they're collected again by an overseer standing at the back and then they're recycled. Eternal veneration for the eternal president.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My next stop is the monument to the foundation of Korea's Workers' Party. 50 metres tall and built of granite, it depicts the communist symbols, the hammer and sickle, supplemented by a paintbrush that's meant to represent intellectuals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here in the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity, I get a surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the Russian punk band Pussy Riot were arrested, I documented an art event in a Russian Orthodox church in Vienna. I was even questioned by counterintelligence as a result.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I use the topic to talk indirectly about human rights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to the Christian NGO Open Doors, North Korea takes last place in the global rankings for persecution of Christians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't want to imagine what would happen here if the Holy Kim were insulted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a North Korean priest, the man is quite well informed, in my opinion. The information from the outside world must come from somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I were to ask direct questions about human rights, it would immediately be seen as a provocation and could make my stay much harder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In any case, people deny what they don't want to talk about anyway. Concentration camps, purges, shootings, none of that exists here. Officially, it's a paradise on earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] North Koreans are taught from childhood to submit to the state ideology, to sacrifice their individual existence to the collective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the youngest children are called upon to denounce adults who express dissatisfaction with the leader and the party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to know how and where the brainwashing starts. I tried to find answers to that question in a school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A school for more than a thousand students. But during my visit, the corridors are deserted. The headmistress takes me through the rooms. Everything seems very new, very tidy. The schools I know look different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She tells me that Kim Jong-il had declared nano and biotechnology to be at the heart of North Korean science.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so that I don't just see empty classrooms, the headmistress takes me to a class that's just having a maths lesson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It all seems very staged to me. I don't know what the students here are really being taught.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I start filming, the students use their calculators like mad, but the calculations don't seem to make any sense. I believe the students are just pretending.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pictures of the great leaders are everywhere. They hang in every room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I ask one of the students whether he knows the man who discovered America, Christopher Columbus, he's silent at first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the headmistress asked me to leave the room because I'm interfering with the lecture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For them, it wasn't about winning. I think the students played poorly on purpose to make me look better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At times there were two to three hundred students sitting around the pitch. It almost felt like a stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of the latest UN sanctions, North Korea has been forced to be self-sufficient. No raw materials or products may be exported


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given the current economic situation, it's hopefully only a matter of time before North Korea gives up its stubborn nuclear policy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm shown a showcase spinning mill. The workers, largely women in this case, are the pride of the nation. Officially the people earn five euros a month. It's very probable that their actual wages are even lower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people here can only survive with food stamps handed out by the government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Malnutrition is so common in North Korea that people have become demonstrably smaller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to say, the factory is strikingly clean. The workers are laughing and joking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's obvious that the country


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The country is losing large parts of its agricultural land every year as a result of environmental disasters such as drought and flooding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Making it powerless in the face of climate change, like so many poor countries. And because of the new sanctions, North Korea's even more isolated than before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm glad I was allowed to photograph some of the women. None of this can be taken for granted here. My minders are responsible for my proper behaviour


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I don't stick to certain rules, I could put them in a difficult situation too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For some years now the increase in private vehicles has been shaping the face of the city. It demonstrates that there's something happening in the capital and the private economy at least. New buildings are being constructed and the city's silhouette increasingly reminds me of the financial districts of well-known Asian cities. But in reality,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These buildings are home to the high-ups in the Workers' Party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was fortunate enough to visit one such private flat again after a few years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the lift, the surveillance becomes visible again. There are people who document who in the building goes where and when. It's hard to imagine such a system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The flat I'm shown isn't a normal one. It's a kind of involuntary place of pilgrimage for Western journalists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's stressed time and again that Kim Jong Un himself has visited the flat, but does anyone actually live here? He doesn't smell of anything. Everything's meticulously arranged, like in a catalogue. I find it hard to believe. I feel like I'm in a film in which Kim Jong Un is the all-powerful director.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me that sounds as if Kim Jong Un were not just executing people but also committing trespass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not clear to me what a dictator would be doing in someone's flat, but everything's different here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though most North Koreans have almost no money to buy anything to supplement their food rations, there are still supermarkets with western products.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not always open and often many shelves remain empty, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a sign that there's a growing middle class in Pyongyang that is demanding and opening up or at least certain luxury goods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I mentioned earlier, a worker officially earns five euros per month. You can't buy much in a supermarket for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people who shop here are part of the upper middle class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The longer I'm here, the more certain I am, it's the women who will force a cultural change in their country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their clothes, very obviously, no longer conform to the propaganda line. They look western.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The desire for luxury goods has reached Pyongyang too, or at least the privileged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The women performing military exercises in front of me are shouting, Long live the victory of Songun!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Songun means military first, and it's the name of the state ideology that gives North Korea's defense top priority


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it can resist the imperialist threat from the United States and Japan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's compulsory military service for the men of North Korea. It lasts 10 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was where and how often? You're constantly being informed of that in North Korea. I'm visiting a state vegetable plantation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm hoping to be allowed to talk to the workers here. I've been promised I'll be taken to one of the operations, but I can only see a few people in a place that's meant to be home to 423 families.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On a small elevation that feels like a surveillance platform, I'm allowed to film the workers from a safe distance. It's really not what I had imagined and once again it's typically North Korean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Giving up isn't exactly one of my qualities and so I insist on being allowed to meet the workers. I don't just want to see what I'm supposed to be shown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here because I want to get to know the Korean people a bit better. To achieve that, I need to meet them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I finally convince my minders and, after they've made several telephone calls, a group is quickly assembled that take me to the greenhouses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a side note, there's nothing in North Korea that's not meticulously organized. I don't think the word improvisation exists in North Korea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, the red panel on the building says, vegetables for the population of the capital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Regardless of all the propaganda and the, I'd call it brainwashing,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Koreans always manage to surprise me positively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such meetings have an impact on the people here. I think it's the only way to separate the people from the propaganda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pyongyang, the capital with a population of more than 3 million, is currently undergoing a construction boom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New skyscrapers are shooting up all over the place, shaping the city's skyline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nevertheless, North Korea was economically stronger than South Korea until the 70s, thanks to the support of the Soviet Union.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that, North Korea slid further and further into isolation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A score for me? I'm allowed to take a taxi for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a tourist, of course, I paid three times the price, but that would happen in Rome and New York too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It may seem insignificant, but this small picture of an aircraft belonging to a North Korean airline is an advertisement


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a surprise in a country in which public images only ever show the godlike leader.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drives me to a place you'd never guess. It's one of the most popular entertainment venues in Pyongyang. The ice rink, properly called the people's ice rink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 2007 it was even one of several venues for the Women's World Ice Hockey Championships. The Austrian team played here in Pyongyang. What's telling


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that the games in North Korea were the best attended and clearly not because there are so many fans here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pyongyang's middle class meat for ice skating, ice cream and beer for Sunday afternoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, I didn't get a martini, but there's table tennis and the enemy, in this case, me, is allowed to play and win on this occasion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pyongyang's cityscape isn't just changing architecturally. Young people have discovered rollerblading


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arirang Festival has always had a special fascination for me, as it has I'm sure for anyone else who's seen it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's named after an old Korean folk song and tries to present North Korea's history in a heroic manner, using mass dances and gymnastics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More than a hundred thousand people participate, making it the world's largest dance event of this kind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I look beyond the propaganda madness, the choreography is always hugely impressive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Arirang Festival doesn't take place at regular intervals. It's normally held in spring and autumn, but sometimes it's not held at all. Anyone who participates, I'm told, gets a television or a fridge as a reward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mass event is meant to commit the people to the political goals of the regime through the unmistakable imagery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've attended the Arirang Festival four times now, but this time I saw something strange.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People suddenly left the stadium while overseers tried to stop them. There was a large military presence around the stage. That's why I wasn't able to film for long. My minders wanted me to focus on the show. Was that a form of resistance?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The controversial Slovenian rock band Laibach was the first Western music act to give a concert in Pyongyang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So after Mickey Mouse, western music has also reached North Korea. Even the lyrics were translated into Korean, as can be seen at the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing's gonna change my world is the perfect sentence for a country that has kept every kind of western music away from its people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the North Koreans know that nothing lasts forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For my part, I can't repeat often enough that I feel happy among the North Koreans. I've been able to make friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The trips of recent years have taught me that blanket condemnation and generalizations serve no purpose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either in Europe or in North Korea. A country I still know very little about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You surely went in love with her. With Sybil? Hold on. I'm glad of that. She has the muscles of a prizefighter. She'd hit hoppy one day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see. Now listen, Clive. I have 18 rooms here. A bone-eyed will stop eating their heads off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait a moment. Here we can get to something anti-military.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think, if I remember correctly, I think this is the second paper on the image synthesis or image generation, right? Before, we also have one paper presenting in this course, right? It's called something called giraffe, right? Giraffe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So by the way, before the screen you share with us, it seems so I can see two pages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can see both the current page and also the next page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so the time is up and we can start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello everyone, so today we will discuss another paper on image and vision. By the way, this is also the last paper we have for this course on image and vision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And today we will discuss a paper title called diffusion models based on GANs on image synthesis. And the presenter will be Manisha Suresh. And so she would need a discussion with us and we can see how this paper is like. So Manisha, I can give the time to you and you can start when you're ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, I hope you read the paper before class, right? Because many of the questions I can see, we can see the content in the paper actually. And for scaling, the scaling, the order mentioned is scaling in section 4.3, right? I mean, so if you read the paper, you should know the scaling actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, if you have no question, then probably that's it for today. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for students, if you have any more questions, please let us know. I mean, we still have lots of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, this is also the last paper we have for image and vision, and next week we will move to the graph neural nets. And this will be a new topic, and I hope you read the paper before class, then you will be able to follow us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, if you don't read paper, just look at the top, you can get lost very easily because the top can be very high male, right? Yea, you have to read paper, then you can learn something useful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also, in the paper, you can see some new concepts, new terms, or new technology. My suggestion, you can also refer to this kind of paper, this slide as well, then you can learn something more, beside the paper we have covered in the schedule spreadsheet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Castro can run with the best of him. He's there easily at second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bouncing ball knocked down and Madras finds it and finds Beatty. Nostrada bounces out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Martin Waite Jr. Homers, and it's 2-0 San Francisco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, a little bobble, uh, Gonzalez might've had a shot though. More kind of runs so well. He's in the second with a double.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so he get in that mothafucka boo. Ayy, it be a rap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smoke weed, shit. That's it? Yeah, trippy smoke weed. That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like motherfuckers like everybody be playing with it and shit like, you feel me, but it ain't supposed to be loaded. So I ain't know it's loaded and shit. So I'm just walking and shit and then I must like press the trigger and that bitch went off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not even as that though. I'm being me, you feel me, but I'll take after him, you feel me, what he had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm still Lil Wap, I'm as my own self, I got my own flow, my own wave, my own everything, you feel me, but growing up that's who I looked at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, but it was only like Gucci and Lil Wayne. Growing up, shit, like, you didn't really have nobody. Gucci, Wayne, 50 Cent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out Atlanta, shout out Chicago, shout out A-Tray, shout out Arlick, shout out to my


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seek the fire, John. Make some tea, Dainty. Strengthen it up a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's just told me what you've done to her, so you'd better go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, we worked a lot of good situational work. Got the crowd noise during the huddle bobby, so uhm, all's good here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, look, he's doing a good job. You know, uhm, again, like we said, uh, yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think all of it's taken into account, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of those things, uh, play into our, you know, decision making in terms of what we ultimately decide to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a rest day. Yeaah. I mean, you know, we're down a few numbers at receiver and so a lot of those guys have taken a ton of reps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all being evaluated, uhm, you know, ultimately for the kickers, uhm, who puts it through the uprights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so just like any other position, you're evaluating every time they step out there and have an opportunity, you're, you're, you're evaluating it. So same thing with the punters. Uhm, you know, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think it was Tyron Matthew coming off the left side. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see how it plays out. But, you know, we've got a lot of information now. And this, this will be, you know, kind of one last opportunity to make an evaluation of where our guys are at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, I mean look, he's a big physical receiver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably, you know, the thing he does best is be able to make contested catches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so like I said yesterday, I think every day we're seeing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Jim, why don't you paint and I'll get the water? No, I can't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, don't worry about Aunt Polly. She won't hurt you. I'll give you one of my toys, and I'll show you where I hurt my foot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay boys, it's time to slow her down. We're getting near land. Easy now. Turn her slowly. He shouted. Slow down. Okay boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you're doing now looks a lot like work. Hard work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I guess what's worked for you is fun for Tom Sawyer. Are you saying that you like this? Do I like it? I love it. I wish I could do this more often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, Ben. This fence has to be painted perfectly. It takes a special person to do it well. Please, Tom, let me try. I'll give you part of my apple. No, Ben. I'm sorry, but... Okay, you can have the whole apple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eight o'clock had struck, before I got into the air that was scented, not disagreeably, by the chips and shavings of the longshore boat-builders, and mast ore and block-makers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All that waterside region of the upper and lower pool below bridge was unknown ground to me, and when I struck down by the river, I found that the spot I wanted was not where I had supposed it to be, and was anything but easy to find. It was called Mill Pond Bank, Chinx Basin, and I had no other guide to Chinx's Basin than the old green copper rope-walk


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It matters not what stranded ships repairing in dry docks I lost myself among, what old hulls of ships in course of being knocked to pieces, what ooze and slime and other dregs of tide, what yards of ship-builders and ship-breakers, what rusty anchors blindly biting into the ground, though for years off duty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What mountainous country of accumulated casks and timber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many rope walks that were not the old green copper! After several times falling short of my destination, and as often overshooting it, I came unexpectedly round a corner upon Mill Pond Bank. It was a fresh kind of place, all circumstances considered, where the wind from the river had room to turn itself round, and there were two or three trees in it, and there was the stump of a ruined windmill, and there was the old green copper rope


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That looked like superannuated hay-making breaks, which had grown old, and lost most of their teeth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And an elderly woman, of a pleasant and thriving appearance, responded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By Herbert, who silently led me into the parlour and shut the door. It was an odd sensation to see his very familiar face established quite at home in that very unfamiliar room and region. And I found myself looking at him, much as I looked at the corner cupboard with the glass in china, the shelves upon the chimney-piece, and the coloured engravings on the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Representing the death of Captain Cook, a ship-launch, and His Majesty, King George III, in a state coachman's wig, leather breeches, and top boots on the terrace at Windsor. All is well, Handel, said Herbert, and he is quite satisfied, though eager to see you. My dear girl is with her father, and if you'll wait till she comes down, I'll make you known to her, and then we'll go upstairs. That's her father. I had become aware.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of an alarming growling overhead, and had probably expressed the fact in my countenance. I'm afraid he is a sad old rascal, said Herbert, smiling, but I have never seen him. Don't you smell rum? He's always at it. At rum? said I. Yes, returned Herbert, and you may suppose how mild it makes his gout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He persists to, and keeping all the provisions upstairs in his room, and serving them out. He keeps them on shelves over his head, and will weigh them all. His room must be like a chandler's shop. While he thus spoke, the growling noise became a prolonged roar, and then died away. What else can be the consequence? said Herbert, in explanation. If you will cut the cheese?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A man? With a gout in his right hand and everywhere else?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can't expect to get through a double-gloster without hurting himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He seemed to have hurt himself very much, for he gave another furious roar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To have provis for an upper lodger is quite a godsend to Mrs. Wimple," said Herbert, for, of course, people in general won't stand that noise. A curious place, handle, isn't it? It was a curious place, indeed, but remarkably well kept and clean. Mrs. Wimple? said Herbert, when I told him so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the best of housewives, and I really do not know what my Clara would do without her motherly help, for Clara has no mother of her own handle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And no relation in the world but old gruff and grim. Surely that's not his name, Herbert. No, no, said Herbert, that's my name for him. His name is Mr. Barley. But what a blessing it is for the son of my father and mother, to love a girl who has no relations, and who can never bother herself or anybody else about her family. Herbert had told me on former occasions, and now reminded me, that he first knew Miss Clara Barley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she was completing her education at an establishment at Hammersmith and that on her being recalled home to nurse her father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He and she had confided their affection to the motherly Mrs. Wimple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While old barley's sustained growl vibrated in the beam that crossed the ceiling. The room door opened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Show me the basket, with a compassionate and tender smile, after we had talked a little. Here's poor Clara's supper, served out every night. Here's her allowance of bread, and here's her slice of cheese, and here's her rum, which I drink. This is Mr. Barley's breakfast for to-morrow, served out to be cooked. Two mutton chops, three potatoes, some split peas, a little flour, two ounces of butter, a pinch of salt, and all this black pepper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is something so natural and winning in Clara's resigned way of looking at these stores in detail, as Herbert pointed them out, and something so confiding, loving, and innocent in her modest manner of yielding herself to Herbert's embracing arms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And something so gentle in her, so much needing protection on Mill Pond Bank by Chinx's Basin, and the old green copper-rope walk, with old barley growling in the beam,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As if a giant with a wooden leg were trying to bore it through the ceiling to come to us. Upon this Clara said to Herbert, Papa wants me, darling, and ran away. There is an unconscionable old shark for you, said Herbert. What do you suppose he wants now, Handel? I don't know, said I. Something to drink? That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] cried Herbert, as if I had made a gas of extraordinary merit. He keeps his grog ready-mixed at a little top on the table. Wait a moment, and you'll hear Clara lift him up to take some. There he goes. Another roar, with the prolonged shake at the end. Now! said Herbert, as it was succeeded by silence. He's drinking. Now! said Herbert, as the growl resounded in beam once more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The following refrain, in which I substitute good wishes for something quite the reverse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One eye at a telescope, which was fitted on his bed, for the convenience of sweeping the river. In his two cabin rooms at the top of the house, which were fresh and airy, and in which Mr. Barley was less audible than below, I found Provis comfortably settled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He expressed no alarm, and seemed to feel none that was worth mentioning. But it struck me that he was softened, indefinably, for I could not have said how, and could never afterwards recall how when I tried, but certainly.

[Assistant] The opportunity that the day's rest had given me for reflection had resulted in my fully determining to say nothing to him, respecting compassion.

[Assistant] I asked him first of all whether he relied on Wemmick's judgment and sources of information. Aye, aye, dear boy, he answered with a grave nod. Jagger's nose. Then I have talked with Wemmick, said I, and have come to tell you what caution he gave me, and what advice.

[Assistant] This I did accurately, with the reservation just mentioned, and I told him how Wemmick had heard in Newgate Prison, whether from officers or prisoners I could not say, that he was under some suspicion, and that my chambers had been watched.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How Wemmick had recommended his keeping close for a time, and my keeping away from him, and what Wemmick had said about getting him abroad. I added that of course, when the time came, I should go with him, or should follow close upon him, as might be safest in Wemmick's judgment.

[Assistant] What was to follow that I did not touch upon. Neither, indeed, was I at all clear or comfortable about it in my own mind, now that I saw him in that softer condition, and in declared peril for my sake.

[Assistant] As to altering my way of living, by enlarging my expenses, I put it to him, whether in our present unsettled and difficult circumstances, it would not be simply ridiculous, if it were no worse.

[Assistant] He could not deny this, and indeed was very reasonable throughout. His coming back was a venture, he said, and he'd always known it to be a venture. He would do nothing to make it a desperate venture, and he had very little fear of his safety with such good help. Herbert, who had been looking at the fire and pondering,

[Assistant] Here said that something had come into his thoughts arising out of Wemmick's suggestion, which it might be worth while to pursue. We are both good watermen, Handel, and could take him down the river ourselves when the right time comes. No boat would then be hired for the purpose, and no boatman

[Assistant] I would save at least a chance of suspicion, and any chance is worth saving. Never mind the season. Don't you think it might be a good thing, if you began at once to keep a boat at the temple stairs, and were in the habit of rowing up and down the river? You fall into that habit, and then who notices or minds? Do it twenty or fifty times.

[Assistant] And there is nothing special in your doing it the 21st or 51st.

[Assistant] I liked this scheme, and Provis was quite elated by it. We agreed that it should be carried into execution, and that Provis should never recognize us if we came below bridge and rode past Mill Pond Bank.

[Assistant] With no appearance of having ceased, or of meaning to cease.

[Assistant] When we got to the foot of the stairs, I asked Herbert whether he had preserved the name of Provis. He replied, certainly not, and that the lodger was Mr. Campbell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also explained that the utmost known of Mr. Campbell there was that he, Herbert, had Mr. Campbell consigned to him, and felt a strong personal interest in his being well cared for, and living a secluded life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when we went into the parlour, where Mrs. Wimple and Clara were seated at work, I said nothing of my own interest in Mr. Campbell, but kept it to myself.

[Assistant] I felt as if the old green copper rope walk had grown quite a different place. Old Barley might be as old as the hills, and might swear like a whole field of troopers, but they were redeeming youth and trust and hope enough in Tink's Basin to fill it to overflowing.

[Assistant] All things were as quiet in the temple as ever I had seen them. The windows of the rooms on that side, lately occupied by provis, were dark and still, and there was no lounger in garden court.

[Assistant] I walked past the fountain twice or thrice, before I descended the steps that were between me and my rooms. But I was quite alone.
