[Assistant] It's not because they want to do the right thing, it's because they're reading the temperature of the room and they're reacting accordingly. And they know that we're watching every move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have to appeal. It's for the, this is for the reputation of the league. This is a moment that we have to meet by doing this whether we want to or not. It's going to be uncomfortable, but the discomfort that the league is going to feel


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't as bad as the discomfort the league would have felt in every way if they would have let this slide as it is. I don't think they're being noble. I don't think they deserve the credit for that. And in that same way, I think that this arbiter that they pick, we're going to be watching. If Roger Goodell's like, hey, it's my, it's my brother, Steve Goodell. He's going to be the outside arbiter. He doesn't work for the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody's going to buy that. They're going to have to get somebody where we're all going to look at this person's credentials. We're all going to see who they are and if they have any kind of a history with the NFL and representing them and stuff like that. So I think they're going to at least extensively have to pick somebody that, uh, will, will be not totally in the bag for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There, they said we'd rather have a half loaf rather than a none, and they said at least we'll take this arbiter, it'll be more public, it'll be an independent person, hopefully it won't come to that next level, but even if it does, there'll be more attention paid to this, and they are getting more attention paid to it than they would have otherwise if it just would have been like it used to be with the NFL just saying, well here's what we decided, so take us to federal court if you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They gave her this job though, but what they did was they limited her greatly in her ability to actually follow through on what she found.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because again, she came out and said, everything the NFL accused him of, in my opinion, from what I've seen, he is guilty of. But based on the parameters that they have given me, that I'm allowed to sentence on,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the most that I can do. Now you guys can take it from here and do what you want, but this is, this is how I'm limited. Your system is jacked up. You guys were terrible at making this system, but this guy also did some creepy stuff that I have, I find incredibly creepy based on my, uh, the four people that I've talked to and everything that I've seen. I think they've made their argument.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, it's almost like the NFL keeps that language ambiguous to suit their needs sometimes, doesn't it? Isn't that strange? Where they can kinda keep it up in the air?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, I think banished is just such a great, old-timey, medieval word, like you could, like it's a witch or something like that, that we're getting out of our kingdom, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Secondly, there, this is, this will bring up a question. Say this, say this extent, this got extended to 12 games, or even the whole season. Are you comfortable going into the season with old Jacoby and the, and the Josh 1-2 punch, double Josh, at quarterback, or do you, are you, are we gonna do something about that situation?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mary Kay, a bit of a gray cloud over the Browns fan base as of late. I think we can agree. Not the best party vibe we've got going on. How about just a little bit of positivity? Can you tell us just one or two positive things that you've seen at camp that have nothing to do with the Deshaun Watson situation to make us all feel better today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Robert, you're a Clevelander. You know what this fan base has been through. Uhm, it hasn't been all flowers and chocolates, as you know. When we went 0 and 16 a few years back, did you think that it could get even more complicated and worse and harder to be a Browns fan? And how do you think the fan base is reacting? Are we handling it okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lots of dramatic pauses too. Alright Robert, number four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now he has this opportunity to come out and say, as I do for all my clients, here's my website. It's available at the bottom of the screen. I am getting justice. The NFL is doing the right thing. I think that's what he's going to be doing. I don't think it's going to be anything new, but we'll see. G, any thoughts on this? Concerns? Questions?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna, we're gonna trade her for, we're gonna trade her to Russia for some, like some gun runner or something like that and we'll get her back. No, I don't know if they'd go for that, but... Well, they're buddies, him and the... Well, we'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I am so familiar with this guy now and his motivations and how his mind seems to work and everything. He is nothing else if you really think about it. He's pretty predictable. He follows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He follows like a pattern. And I think that Jason nailed it right now. I think that he recognizes that he's got leverage right now. He recognizes that he's got the eye of the media. He still likes that. He's using this as a way to, he's manipulating the Lakers in a way to say, do what I want. So I'm used to this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't think that he, I don't think he has like some ultimate plan necessarily. I think he'll adjust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do, it wouldn't surprise me in any way if he ended up back on this Cavalier team. I feel like that seems like something that would be a part of his legacy. If he were writing out, he sees his life in a way as a Disney movie and he thinks about legacy and I do think that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a fun conclusion to the LeBron James Taylor, at least another fun chapter is him coming back one more time and I think he thinks about things like that. So it wouldn't shock me if he came back, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he went to the 76ers for some reason and played with a bunch of his friends there. I have no idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, our best case scenario is that Brawny is kinda trash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, who cares? He's an awful lot of money. Good point. Yeah. I'm glad I don't have that sickness. Yeah. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta, I gotta give just like a word to a little bit of unfortunate news. Uhm, and I'm talking about my man, Iman Schumper. I'm talking about a champion, a champion with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016. Can we show the graphic? He just got, he just got in a little bit of trouble. Uh, he was down with just a little bit of extra marijuana on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, while at a Texas airport, just trying to fly back to California. He did have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over six ounces of marijuana, which if you're not familiar with that, that is about a book bag full of marijuana that Schumpert was trying to travel with. Like a solid, like not just a Jansport, it's in the pockets too, not just the main compartment. Six ounces over...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over six ounces is a lot of weed, and I don't know why he is traveling with that much weed, but it's irrelevant, okay? It's unfortunate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, that poor man who just was trying to get back to California to, uhm, oh, to see his daughter and he had a six, er, he had six ounces of weed on him and a backpack. That's all he wanted to do. And you gotta stop him and trouble him along the way. This is a man who should be exempt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only, and he saved us. He was part of the reason. I remember your defense, just so you know. Maybe other people don't. We all talk about LeBron's block and everything like that. Shump, you were there and I appreciate that. If you want to take it easy right now with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A book bag full of weed, that is your right. Not only are you an NBA champion, you are also a Dancing with the Stars champion, the first


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] NBA player who was a champion on Dancing with the Stars. That was just last year. I don't know what you were on when you did it, but you looked amazing and I'm proud of you. Let Shump go. Free him. It's only a book bag full of weed. Nobody gets hurt. It wasn't a bunch of guns or knives. You let Shump free. He earned that sort of freedom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the NFL appealing, if they do appeal, the union is likely to get some sort of injunctive relief, meaning that Deshaun Watson is going to be able to play right away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, or, uh, or maybe if it's eight games, if they get some sort of settlement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course, quarterbacks aren't taking hits anyways. And that's why I laugh when I'm on social media and I see all these, all these shots of, uh, you know, quarterbacks throwing the ball down field and hitting these. Oh wow, he threw a pass to a receiver. Look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this really affects everything. So I'm curious to see, you know, kind of what the, uh, the share of reps looks like over the next couple of weeks. And then, uh, you know, once the preseason games start, kind of how the division of reps goes there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know it's been some tough times, and in all fairness and honesty, I did not grow up a Browns fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I know what kind of fanbase this is and obviously you go from an 0-16 season a few years ago to a situation like this and you keep saying, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he played for the first eight games, I believe it was, and then served that six game suspension that he did, uh, at that latter part of the year. So, you know, do you want to put yourself in that kind of situation?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you know in 16 season, you know, whether it's the fumble or the drive, all those kind of, you know, going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and play while this is being decided. I just don't think that's the case. So number one, you're going to need an absolute physical freak and I think, uh, somebody that would be willing to sit out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And quite frankly now with name, image and likeness and players being able to earn money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that's interesting, but I think it's probably more the other way now because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Derrick Henry style. Uh, too many teams that do tha


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and then over the next two years, we lost four games my junior year and senior year and all four of them were to Ignatius. So there was one regular season loss and, and one, uh, playoff loss. And actually, uh, because of what they were doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we had some great matchups against them. Always had so much respect for Coach Kyle and, you know, the way that the St. Ignatius teams played, uh, you know, the kind of guys, and we'll talk about, uh, you know, the, the five toughest guys that, uh, that I played with, but the kind of guys that, you know, would


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and you know, both of them dangerous, uh, you know, out of the backfield as well. And I think that's gonna, that's gonna be a big key. I mean, this is what the team, you know, really is built to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is the funniest sweetest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 11. Becoming an American Girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl wanted to go to Wellesley College near Boston in New England, the northeastern part of the United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wellesley was then and is still a leading women's university. It is highly rated and very expensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl's mother, Caroline, did not want her daughter to attend any New England school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wanted Pearl to attend a less costly college in the South. These colleges were more like finishing schools.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Girls went there to learn how to get suitable husbands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caroline wanted to make sure Pearl understood how to behave like an American woman. Pearl had other ideas. She wanted serious study, not an understanding of wifely duty. Pearl thought such a life sounded stifling. It would be as bad as having one's feet bound or being promised in marriage without a choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the United States, Pearl expected to be able to get a job. Then she could help pay her tuition. Money was tight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl settled on Randolph-Macon's Women's College in Lynchburg, Virginia. This school was the best women's college in the South. It had high academic standards, though it couldn't compete academically with Wellesley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Indeed, it became the first women's college in the southern United States to earn a Phi Beta Kappa charter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phi Beta Kappa translates as love of learning is the guide of life. Pearl was in harmony with such thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl was happy to learn from her mother that their trip back to the United States would be through Europe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She couldn't wait to see England and be in the country where Charles Dickens was born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It made her sad though to have to leave Wong Ama at home. Her nursemaid was old and didn't want to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still, she managed to pack all Pearl's belongings for her. When the ship pulled away from the dock, Wong Amma wept.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl was never to see her nursemaid ever again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her father was with them, of course, taking leave from his missionary work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time of rest was required at least once every ten years. He quite probably didn't want to go. He was often grumpy on the journey. They traveled through China and across Russia. In one station, Absalom had to pay for drinking water. This made him furious. Then he spilled it down his trousers. His family tried not to laugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many of the churches were designed by the great architect Christopher Wren.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] St. Paul's Cathedral would certainly have impressed Pearl. Grand in size, it has a large central dome and sumptuous stained glass windows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl may have thought to herself that even though the cathedral stands on an ancient holy site, many Chinese places of worship are older.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Piccadilly, in central London, is a bright market. Many Londoners and tourists go there to shop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl probably thought it fun, but not as colorful as the crowded markets in China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She missed the barrows of inexpensive silks and the jovial people selling their wares.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No doubt she would have loved visiting the square where Samuel Johnson once lived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She probably saw the church St. Clement Danes, where he'd once worshiped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her reading of British literature came to life in the real streets and the real people of England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before long, they were on a ship crossing the Atlantic Ocean bound for America. They first visited Hillsboro in West Virginia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a sadness, it was that her grandfather had already died.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl didn't mourn for her relative since she'd never really gotten to know him. She grieved for her mother, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her mother had been unable to spend time with grandfather during his last days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl still felt herself more Chinese than American.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet she also felt split between the two worlds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She could see that Caroline, with her father now dead,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This cheered everyone up because they went to stay with Edgar. Pearl's brother was now married and had a baby girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl, once at her brother's house, could hardly wait to set foot onto the nearby campus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they finally got there, the tall trees, the purple wisteria, and the openness of the grounds of the college delighted her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alas, she was disappointed at the drab buildings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She heard girls giggling and talking about boyfriends. The women didn't look like her either. Their hair seemed unkempt, and they wore flashy clothes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl's hair was knotted at the base of her neck, and she was wearing a plain blue dress. She felt out of place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It helped when one of the girls knew that the linen in her dress was hand woven in China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This girl remarked that she thought the cloth was very beautiful. The early days in college required adjustment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl thought and acted differently than her sister students.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She'd learned a deeper way of thinking from her Confucian tutor. It was all mixed in with a different way of life. She had been used to servants. She had been the daughter of a stern missionary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her father was different from other fathers too. When her father came to preach in the college chapel, she felt a little embarrassed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She overheard a student muttering that Absalom looked long-winded. Pearl defended her father. The other girl apologized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then in her usual truthfulness, Pearl admitted that her father did have a tendency to drone on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was painful too when she had to say goodbye to her family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unlike the other students who could go home for breaks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl felt her heart sink and her stomach churn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wouldn't see them again for at least four years. Her mother's health was not so good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl didn't know if she would get to talk with her face to face again. Pearl felt lonely. Then one night, at dinner, in the large, noisy dining hall, another girl, Emma Edmonds, made friends with her. They remained friends for many years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It didn't take long before lots of the girls were asking Pearl about China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She bought cloth and made herself dresses, skirts and blouses. They looked more like the ones the other girls were wearing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl also watched how the girls mingled with one another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She learned how to rush in and out of dorm rooms to chat. She joined clubs and became more sociable


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was afraid, however, that Pearl would disapprove of her penciled eyebrows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even Emma Edmonds felt lonely until Pearl and she became friends. Pearl began to enjoy being with other students. Studying though


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] was for her more important than anything else. Her family revered learning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was something they shared in common with many Chinese people. Here Pearl worked hard at her mathematics. She got through Latin too. But literature continued to be her love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her freshman English teacher soon realized that she had nothing to teach Pearl, who'd already had two stories published. Pearl wasn't satisfied with these stories, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl's old love of practical jokes came in handy for a prank played at the freshman junior party. The theme of the party was The Sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The gym, decorated with shells, rocks, and fake fishes, looked as if it were under the ocean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Surrounding balconies above the gym were draped with fishing nets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl and her friends bought 200 real fish from a market and left them sitting out for several days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unrefrigerated, the fish soon began to go bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Disguised as an old fisherman, Pearl quietly dropped the dead fish into the nets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One can imagine noses being held and shrieks over the smell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Pearl's junior year, she finally felt a real part of the college. She joined a posh sorority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was also invited to be in a secret club that only had 12 members. She was chosen president of her junior class. Then another great honor came her way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was chosen as one of two girls to attend the YWCA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Young Women's Christian Association. Student Conference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was considered so important that other girls at the college shared their expensive clothes with her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wanted their representatives to look their very best. Pearl, unused to such fancy dresses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Accidentally wore one back to front to a tea party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seemed likely that Pearl would get to be president of the student government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The YWCA wanted her for president at that organization too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Pearl frankly told them that she did not want the job. She really wanted to be president of the student government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the strongly religious girls were outraged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The feature film sounded boring, but Pearl wanted to see one of the short films about China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To her delight, her father appeared in the Chinese film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As soon as he realized he was on camera, he turned and fled. Pearl and her friend stayed through the dull feature film just to see the Chinese film again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Around this time, Pearl got word that Wong Ama had died peacefully in her sleep. Pearl didn't show much emotion. She tried to accept death as part of life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of grieving, she took time to remember all Wang Ama had done for her. Wang had told her stories about China, held her on her lap, given her treats, prepared her meals, taken care of her clothes, and loved her as much as any mother could. Through Wang, Pearl felt kinship with the Chinese. It made her most grateful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While Pearl attended Randolph-Macon, she had the chance to get to know her brother Edgar. He left China when she was still a little girl. His home became a home for her. She loved to make clothes for her niece and tell her stories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She also loved to rock and sing to Edgar's new baby boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her brother could see she was very natural with children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He asked her to stay with his wife and help with the children while he was out of town for work Pearl didn't really want to stay at his house


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She'd been looking forward to spending her senior year in the dorm with her friends. She couldn't let her brother and his wife down though, so she stayed at Edgar's while she completed her senior year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During this time, she and a friend wrote a play they hoped would be put on by their senior class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The play, mostly written by Pearl, exposed some of the snobbery at the college.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It showed that poor girls with no social standing could be successful. Pearl's writing often drew from her own experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She probably hoped to make life easier for new students who didn't have much money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The senior class refused to perform the play. They put on an inoffensive play called The Bird Sanctuary instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At her graduation ceremony, after four years of study, her brother Edgar,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her cousin, Eugenia, and her friend, Lori Cash, looked on proudly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl longed for her mother and father to be there too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She calmly walked across the stage to accept her diploma


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A professor later said of Pearl that she seemed much like his other easygoing students. This was exactly what she had hoped to achieve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This same professor said, however, that in her eyes he had seen a different quality. She had seemed somehow detached. Writers may often seem distant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some psychologists say that they tend to be observers of life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The distance from which Pearl observed American college life, however.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] May have resulted in part from her childhood spent in another country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least two important lessons from college stuck with Pearl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One was that she learned best from reading and doing things that interested her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other lesson was that racial prejudice existed in America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A black woman who worked as a domestic servant at the college.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Told her that few black children got the chance for higher education.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the ones who did get to go to college often still ended up with menial jobs. Pearl hated injustice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She hated it in China when she'd seen coolies cheated by English captains. She despised it here in America too. It seemed evil to her that anyone


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] was considered less than anyone else because of the color of their skin or the place where they were born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Later in her life, she was to speak fiercely and eloquently for the rights of African Americans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl no doubt would approve that her alma mater now includes African American students and men and women from over 40 countries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Randolph-Macon Women's College still exists, but is now called Randolph College.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The college continues to teach psychology, mathematics, religion, and other academic subjects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it also offers art, dance, and theatre.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are more athletic programs than when Pearl went to the college. There's a basketball team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's possible to get credit for horseback riding, swimming, or tennis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The college is near the Blue Ridge Mountains, part of the vast Appalachian mountain range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And thus connected to the Algonene Mountains, where Hillsborough is located. Pearl's mother chose a school for her daughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That she hoped would develop Pearl's mind and heart in a culture similar to her own in the West Virginia mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon after graduating from Randolph-Macon in 1914, Pearl received bad news. A letter from her father told her that her mother was seriously ill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though she had planned to stay and work in the United States as a teacher, Pearl made up her mind at once. She would hurry back to China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wrote to the Presbyterian Board of Missions to apply for a job as a teacher in Chenkiang. They accepted her for a teaching position. Before she could board ship, however, the Presbyterian Missions Administrative Office wrote to tell her that because of the tense political situation in Europe and the threat of war there, all passages paid by the mission would be postponed until the situation improved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl couldn't afford to pay for her passage abroad, so she took a job as a teaching assistant at her college. She hadn't taught more than a couple of months in the autumn school term before her mother's condition grew much worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl tried again and convinced the Presbyterian Board of Missions to send her right away in spite of the trouble in Europe. As soon as she could, she left for China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her father and younger sister met her when she got off the ship in Shanghai in late November.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Pearl saw the two by themselves, she was upset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She knew how sick her mother must be not to come and greet her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caroline's disease was called Sprew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is treated today with an antibiotic that wasn't available at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the most serious effects of this disease is its attack on the lining of the intestines. Its victims suffer from diarrhea and vitamin deficiency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite her illness, Pearl's mother met the family at the train station in Xinjiang. Instead of the healthy and energetic mother she had left,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl met a frail looking woman she hardly recognized. She felt like crying, but hid her feelings and ran to her mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She clasped Caroline in her strong, young arms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Pearl's surprise, many family friends were at the station too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They welcomed her with flowers and the Chinese sweets she liked so much, sponge cakes and sesame cookies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the group went to her parents' new bungalow, near the old one that was now the boys' school where Pearl would teach, farmers in the fields called out greetings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They seemed to share the good wishes offered by the friends who had come to meet her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That evening at dinner, she saw more signs of her mother's poor health. Caroline's mouth was so sore she could hardly eat. Spru was destroying the mucous membranes of her body. Even talking was painful for her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She would meet with women in the congregation who needed her help or just wanted to talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At home she would be a nurse to her mother, making sure she ate the diet the doctor prescribed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eggs, rice gruel, liver and fruit juice. Despite this difficult schedule, Pearl enjoyed the new ideas all around her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming into contact with the boys and men in her own classroom and with young women she'd been hired to supervise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She became more and more aware of how much the China to which she had returned was changing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had been twelve years old when Sushi died. The heir to the throne, Pui, was only a child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He reigned as emperor for a short while, but he was too young to be a real ruler. Neither his father, who was the appointed regent,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nor any of his advisors had the authority or power to see him through these early years of his rule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Manchu dynasty was too weakened by a combination of its own ineffectiveness and western impositions on its power. Long before she'd gone away to college, change had been building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She knew that Sun Yat-sen had worked tirelessly with others to change China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sun Yat-sen's organization had joined with two others to form the Revolutionary Alliance, which later became the National Party or the Kuomintang. Pearl had read about the fall of the Imperial government and the birth of the Republic in 1911.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While Sun Yat Sen was in the United States trying to raise money, his allies had overthrown the young emperor. In December of that year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They named Sun Yat-sen President of the New Republic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the New Republic had no army at his disposal,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so many powerful people questioned his presidency. However, he ruled only a couple of months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He cared too much for his country to risk the death of the Republic so soon after its birth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In February 1912, he turned the presidency over to Yun Shikai.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The successor favored by members of the Qing dynasty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those who wish to have a monarchy thought him an excellent choice. Those who wanted to keep the Republic worried that he would betray their wishes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the time Pearl was back in China, the country's divisions were clear. Old regional powers had strengthened. New disturbances had increased. Still hope and energy abounded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She tried to understand the change going on around her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She learned that many Chinese business people supported modernizing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of them had left China because the weak Qing rule and the strong foreign presence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Made it difficult for them to invest and earn profits in their own country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wanted a government capable of protecting their enterprises.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of even more interest to Pearl than the political theories around her was the movement to popularize literature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The literary revolution had begun in full force after the imperial examinations ended in 1911.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that, civil servants didn't have to pass tests on ancient classical texts. Young scholars attacked the use of classical language for writing stories, poetry, and novels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They argued that literature should be written in the same language as that spoken by the people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The novel became accepted as a literary art form


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of her love of reading and her desire to write her own stories one day, this movement filled Pearl with excitement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She discussed these ideas with great interest whenever she had the chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feeling the intellectual energy around her and seeing the busy married lives of her friends made her happy but restless. Pearl thought it was a wonderful time to live in China. Nevertheless, she was at a loss as to what to do with her life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now they focused on housekeeping, husbands, and babies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she visited these friends they often asked her when she would get married. She was now 23 years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they wondered whether her parents would arrange a marriage for her. They wondered whether she would choose her own husband. Pearl laughed at these questions, but within herself she felt troubled about her future. She thought she might like to go away to live. One of her friends, an older woman, lived in Yunnan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she wrote a letter to the woman asking if she might visit her for a while. Pearl hoped for a different life. She wanted to be a writer, but she felt too young to write.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was convinced she should live her life more fully before writing a book. She felt confined by living at home, almost as though she were still a child. When her mother found out that Pearl wanted to leave, she was upset. She thought her daughter didn't love her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl tried to reassure her, but she couldn't repair her mother's hurt feelings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not long afterward, Caroline's illness became worse, and Pearl gave up her plans of moving to Yunnan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caroline's doctor urged her to go to Kuling to try to get better. So Pearl took a leave from her job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In early June, she and her mother went to the mountains away from the terrible heat and the danger of malaria and cholera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the mountains, she continued to try to restore her mother's health.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In midsummer, Grace came from school in Shanghai, and Absalom came from his work in Xinjiang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when autumn came, Caroline's health demanded that Pearl stay with her after Grace and Absalom went back to their school and work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weekly newspapers from Shanghai brought news about the world war raging in Europe, but Pearl felt out of touch with what was happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That winter in Kuling with the summer vacationers gone was a lonely time for her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fortunately, near springtime, Caroline's health was enough better for Pearl to go back to her own work. She returned to her job in Chenkiang. Again, back in a busy environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather than the quiet resort in the mountains, she saw a rapidly changing society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People seemed more dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai than ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wanted to rule in the old manor as an emperor. There were questions and complaints everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Young Chinese argued about politics while local military leaders built up small empires. In June, after governing for four years, Yuan died. After his death, Li Yanghong, the vice president of the Republic, became president. Many people feared that worse disorder would follow, with local leaders seeking ever more power and the central government growing ever weaker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That June, full of news about politics and literature, Pearl returned to Kuhling to visit her mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There her interest in ideas was replaced with a new interest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Born in 1890 in New York, he had grown up on a farm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He became friends with another student, Hu Shi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of Hu She, who later became famous for helping modernize Chinese literature, Lawson grew interested in China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About a year after graduating, he applied for a position to go there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was hired to teach American methods of farming near a mission stationed 200 miles north of Nanking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew he liked the country, though he couldn't learn the language easily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In late June he went to Kuling, where he met Pearl at the home of a mutual friend. Near the end of July,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lossing wrote to tell his mother he'd met a nice missionary's daughter and been on four dates with her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said he and Pearl went to tea parties and picnics together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew his mother would think Pearl suitable for him to date and perhaps to marry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl found in 26-year-old Lossing a romantic possibility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She and Lawsing left Kuling on the same boat in early September. After he had returned to Nansu-jo and she to Chin-kyang, they wrote letters to each other. In the winter of 1917, he invited Pearl to visit him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many years later, she wrote about Nansujo. It was very different from places she'd lived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wrote that outside the city walls the land lay flat and dusty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wind blows sand across this land almost constantly, she said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pearl's parents disapproved of Lossing as a husband for their daughter. They hoped she would marry a preacher, like her father. Lossing held only an agricultural degree, which they didn't respect much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caroline worried about Pearl and Lossing's lack of shared interests. You love to read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He reads little that's not related to his work, Caroline objected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll read together, Mother, Pearl replied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He just hasn't taken the time to learn to enjoy literature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides, your parents didn't want you to marry father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caroline had married Absalom against her parents' wishes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Pearl's dismay, her mother admitted that her marriage was a mistake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She said her life would have been happier if she'd listened to her parents. This admission confirmed Pearl's long-held belief that her mother's life was full of disappointment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The daughter felt deeply the tragedy of her mother's regret over the choice she'd made so long ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nevertheless, Pearl was young and stubborn. Though she may have had some misgivings, when Lossing asked her to marry him, she said yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can understand you must have been startled when you saw her cussing at me in the hall. Perhaps it was my fault for not telling you something about it before. You see dear, your mother is not really old. She can have admirers too. She can even, well, be in love with a man. Someday you'll understand better what that means.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides, you know how hard it is for us to get along on my small pension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ken and Isaiah, they said that they were not impressed with you guys, and they said they're going to annihilate you next time instead of just a close victory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Kishes had come up with the idea of the crew battle somewhat recently to that, and they're like, okay, FC is perfect for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just like a Smash experience, it wasn't just a tournament because the church was the venue as well as where you're sleeping. It was just an insane amount of interaction between Smashers at all times, like it was just loads of fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's four regions, East Coast, South, Midwest, and West Coast. Whoever won this was the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Surprise, surprise, it was west coast vs east coast for the championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike G actually came up and said the same thing. He's like, dude, I don't think I can do this either, man. We're like, dude, are you serious? Like, is this really that hype?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had one of the earliest, uh, really well-developed runaway foxes, so it was a very good, you know, tactic at that time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy Jones was like our secret weapon to neutralize Canada, worked out perfectly. And then it came down to DSF and Azen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's not like a forever thing, like okay, now we're forever better, but at that point, there wasn't much West Coast could say. Like when that came up as an issue on the boards, like you know, they pretty much held their tongue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shortly after that, Azen actually took his first, like, uh, retirement, like he, you know, took a break from the game for the first time. And since Chu had started, you know, swearing his allegiance to the West Coast, I, I pretty much, like, was just H2IL by myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go, and go, and never give up. Against the wind, you keep on running. Even when you stumble, and fall over rocks. You never stop fighting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then in the darkness, endure the pain, look at the sky. Cause you see a hundred, or a thousand stars, shining stars that shine in the distance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stories of the Bible. Jesus and the Sinful Woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Jesus. Heyo!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While Jesus was on earth, He taught everyone about God's love and healed people from their sickness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did many miracles like calming storms, and even raised people from the dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Jesus went over to his house and a certain sinful woman heard that he was eating there. She went to the house and brought a jar filled with expensive perfume. She kneeled at Jesus' feet and cried. Her tears fell on his feet and she wiped them with her hair. She kissed his feet and put the perfume on them. Simon saw this and said to himself, Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this man really were a prophet, he'd know what kind of woman is touching him. She's a sinner. Then Jesus said, Simon, I have something to say to you. Uh, okay. And he told him this story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A man loaned money to two people. 500 pieces of silver to one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. And fifty pieces to the other. Yeah, thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at this woman kneeling here. When I entered your home, you didn't offer me water or wash the dust off my feet, but she has washed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell you, her sins, and there are many, have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your sins are forgiven. The men at the table said among themselves, who is this man that he goes around forgiving sins? And Jesus said to the woman, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, that's gonna do it for me. Thanks for hanging out, guys. See you next time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were talking to a listener earlier about Derek Carr in this upcoming season, and if you look at the NFC South, as far as quarterbacks go, Carr's got 142


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] NFL starts under his belt and then second most is Baker Mayfield. We're obviously all kind of projecting Mayfield to be the starter in Tampa Bay and then with 69 and then Desmond Ritter has four and then obviously Bryce Young hasn't played a game yet in the NFL and you just talked about how he's going to have to adjust to the speed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But how, how major of an advantage is that for the Saints to have a guy that has, you know, at least a decade of experience under his belt and that doesn't have to adjust to, as you're saying, the speed of the NFL, like a rookie like Bryce Young does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a mother. Something wrong, Mrs. Price?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This week has been a wake-up call for anyone who still held out hope that Donald Trump might change as president. From his war on the free press to his sprawling and unprecedented conflicts of interest, Trump has proven that his presidency will be a major test for our democracy. For more on this, it's time for A Closer Look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump of course held his first press conference as president-elect yesterday and it was clear Trump was interested in one thing above all else, picking a fight with the media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna be the new Bye Felicia by Fake News.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in fact, the CNN report was not fake news. Both the Director of National Intelligence and Vice President Joe Biden have recently made comments that seem to confirm what CNN reported. Trump's hostility


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the President-elect joking about how he couldn't have been in a room where Russian prostitutes were urinating on each other because he's a germaphobe just for a where we're at as a nation. So he wanted to check in on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know it's a waste of time to keep pointing this stuff out, but in a 2015 Hollywood Reporter article, Trump said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the heavy-handed tactics weren't the only creepy things about Trump's press conference. There was also his usual penchant for empty spectacle. After all, this press conference was called in the first place to detail how Trump would deal with his massive business empire as president.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was taking the issue seriously. He brought with him a prop table full of piles of folders and documents that he claimed were the real documents he actually signed. But when reporters asked to see the documents, they were told they couldn't. And not only that, from close-up photos, it looked like the papers inside were all blank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the next serious test, Trump poses for our democracy his complex of interests.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why this is so troubling is because having a president with such a massive and opaque business empire is an open invitation to unconstitutional bribes or other types of financial coercion. How do we know that's a possibility? Because Trump himself literally admitted he was offered a massive amount of money from a foreign businessman a couple of days ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when it comes to these potentially massive conflicts of interest, it's not just Trump we have to worry about. There's also his cabinet of millionaires and billionaires, like his choice for secretary of state, the former CEO of Exxon Mobil, Rex Tillerson. Tillerson ran a company that has massive oil interests spread out throughout the world, particularly in Russia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, in 2011, Exxon struck a deal with the Russian government to drill in the Russian Arctic. A deal Tillerson and Vladimir Putin personally celebrated with a champagne toast. Look at them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either they just struck a deal to drill for oil, or they just hired the Joker to kill Batman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of U.S. sanctions against Russia. Sanctions that, as Secretary of State Tillerson, would be in a position to try and lift. So naturally, at Tillerson's confirmation hearing yesterday, senators were interested in what kinds of conversations Tillerson has had with Trump about his policy toward Russia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after asking Tillerson a series of questions about his positions on Russia,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tillerson admitted Trump and he hadn't even talked about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, Tillerson's association with the world's largest oil company also puts him in a conflicted position with regard to climate change. The Secretary of State will be in charge of our global agreements to limit greenhouse gas emissions. But for years, Exxon actively suppressed information about man-made climate change. Tillerson was asked about that at his hearing and basically just admitted he didn't want to answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we've got an incoming president waging war on the press and claiming he doesn't have to divest from his business. You know what I say to that? Bye, fake news! This has been A Closer Look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His health, never too sturdy, hasn't been aided by prolonged inactivity. I shouldn't like to have it in opinion either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll do everything possible, sir, to see what you get. Alright, let's get going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Time passes quickly and the two boys grow into young men. They are brothers in mind and spirit. They are as one. They are shining sky and black wolf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, because she knows it. One day she will be looking down on crazy bull buried deep inside her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you say? You get food and a place to sleep, and we can talk about wages as well, son. What do you say, huh? Is it a deal?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We must negotiate with the Indians, not kill each other. Negotiate? That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That clock is always a little slow. It's like the horse I had yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when we reached my flat he looked at me with an unpleasantly confident smile and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I replied. Agnes has told me about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm glad to hear that Miss Agnes knows about it, he answered. Thank you for that, Mr. Copperfield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was annoyed with myself for mentioning Agnes's name and hated hearing him say it, but I said nothing and drank my coffee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Desire of Ages chapter 55, not with outward show. Some of the Pharisees had come to Jesus demanding when the Kingdom of God should come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a trumpet call had sounded through the land. The kingdom of God is at hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The kingdom of God cometh not with outward show. Neither shall they say, lo here or lo there. For behold, the kingdom of God is within you. The kingdom of God begins in the heart. Look not here or there for manifestations of earthly power to markets coming. The days will come, he said, turning to his disciples.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do not realize how great is your present privilege in having among you, though veiled in humanity, Him who is the life and the light of men. The days will come when you will look back with longing upon the opportunities you now enjoy to walk and talk with the Son of God. Because of their selfishness and earthliness,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wonders of his life passed before them, and they were as men awakened from a dream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The disciples now seemed to themselves of much less importance than before they realized this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His lessons which they had but dimly understood now came to them as a fresh revelation. The scriptures became to them a new book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the disciples searched the prophecies that testified of Christ, they were brought into fellowship with the deity and learned of him who had ascended to heaven to complete the work he had begun on earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They recognized the fact that in him dwelt knowledge which no human being unaided by divine agency could comprehend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They needed the help of him whom kings, prophets and righteous men had foretold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With amazement they read and re-read the prophetic delianations of his character and work. How dimly had they comprehended the prophetic scriptures. How slow they had been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had not understood the mystery of his incarnation, the dual character of his nature. Their eyes were holden so that they did not fully recognize divinity in humanity. But after they were illuminated by the Holy Spirit, how they longed to see him again and to place themselves at his feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They grieved that their faith had been so feeble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That their ideas had been so wide off the mark that they had failed of comprehending the reality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] End of the world to his mission that men might prepare for his reception. The wonderful personage whom John had announced


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To leaven their opinions and be cloud their understanding. The light of this dark world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] had been shining amid its gloom, and they had failed to comprehend whence were its beams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They asked themselves why they had pursued a course that made it necessary for Christ to reprove them. They often repeated his conversations and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why did we allow earthly considerations and the opposition of priests and rabbis to confuse our senses so that we did not comprehend that a greater than Moses was among us? That one wiser than Solomon was instructing us? How dull were our ears? How feeble was our understanding?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thomas would not believe until he had thrust his finger into the wound made by the Roman soldiers. Peter had denied him in his humiliation and rejection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But how these things now stirred their hearts as they recognized their unbelief. As priests and rulers combined against them,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they were brought before councils and thrust into prison. The followers of Christ rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They rejoiced to prove before men and angels that they recognized the glory of Christ and chose to follow Him at the loss of all things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is as true now as in apostolic days that without the illumination of the Divine Spirit, humanity cannot discern the glory of Christ. The truth and the work of God


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are unappreciated by a world loving and compromising Christianity. Not in the ways of ease, of earthly honor or worldly conformity are the followers of the master found. They are far in advance in the paths of toil and humiliation and reproach in the front of the battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The gospel of the grace of God with its spirit of self-abnegation can never be in harmony with the spirit of the world. The two principles are antagonistic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him. Neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But today in the religious world there are multitudes who, as they believe,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ruler in its courts and camps, its legislative halls, its palaces and marketplaces, they expect him to rule through legal enactments enforced by human authority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since Christ is not now here in person, they themselves will undertake to act in his stead to execute the laws of his kingdom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he said, my kingdom is not of this world. He would not accept the earthly throne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The government under which Jesus lived was corrupt and oppressive. On every hand were crying abuses, extortion, intolerance, and grinding cruelty. Yet the Savior attempted no civil reforms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He who was our example kept aloof from earthly governments. Not because he was indifferent to the woes of men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not by the decisions of courts or councils or legislative assemblies. Not by the patronage of worldly great men is the kingdom of Christ established.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here is the only power that can work the uplifting of mankind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Writing afterward to some of those who had been corrupted by the foulest sins, he could say, but ye are washed, ye are sanctified.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The work of God's kingdom lies not with those who are clamoring for recognition and support by earthly rulers and human laws, but with those who are declaring to the people in His name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ. As though God did beseech you by us, we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

[Assistant] Thank you all very much for voting, and now you can vote on this video for what car you want me to review. Most likely tomorrow, although it may actually probably not come out tomorrow. Yea, it's probably not going to come out tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I have to go to work from like 2 until 8 and since tomorrow is my first day back to school, I just want to make sure everything is ready so I don't think I'll record another video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tonight to upload on Thursday, like Thursday afternoon. So most likely when I get home from school on Thursday is when I'll record my next video. But enough talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's from the Demolition Derby. He can belong there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blindsided by a new generation of pissed and cut racers, Larry McQueen finds himself suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves to get back on top. He will need the help of a young race technician, inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet, and guidance from a few old friends along the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of eBay sellers have them, and I definitely recommend Amaze and Boys Toys Co., aka Code May Zero, because he has them on eBay. Broadside, APB, Fishtail, and Jimbo of course, they are also in the case, and you can vote for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want me to review them next or which one you want me to review next. Alright, it's time to open Roscoe. He's looking pretty awesome in there. I really like this guy. I was very excited for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't curse. And I just wanted to mention one thing because I said the announcer is a blue pickup truck. That is not Broadside. Broadside is a contender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The announcer is not being released this year. I don't know why, I think it would have been pretty cool, but most likely next year. Alright, moving on to this guy's releases. So obviously as the single in case H, and he's also scheduled for a three pack release along with Cruz Ramirez as Francis Beltline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm not too hopeful about it actually being released, and if it is released, I doubt. I highly doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have Cruz Ramirez here and they're looking at Roscoe. Actually, it was kind of like this, I think. He was on the other side. They were kind of by the gates or whatever. He, I don't know, whatever. But look at this. He is way, way too small.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like he's like miniature. It's like one, that looks like 164 scale to me, whereas McQueen and Cruz are definitely 155.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I am pretty right about that. And his expression is not the best as well. I mean it's a nice smile, but does he smile in the movie? No, not really. He was pretty messing with his kind of like smirky growl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look on his face. So, they probably are doing this so it appeals more to kids, but whatever, it's not really a big deal I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see his grill right there. It's kind of like a silver grill with the black.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inserts there, and that's pretty cool. Nicely detailed. He has these headlights there and some headlights on the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like hood right here, which are pretty cool. I like that they're like extra pieces that come out of the metal body. And he does seem to be, yea, he is all metal. This part right here is plastic though. See this? This is the separation line between the plastic hat


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And cover of the back bed, and then this is the metal base, or body I guess I should say. This is the plastic base down here in black.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I did make a mistake. He is not an SUV. I thought he was, but I realized just now that this is a cover on his pickup truck bed. He's an actual pickup truck. I don't know why I said that. He's actually a pickup truck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mixing up my words, but anyway, yea, he's a pickup truck and that's pretty cool because he looks very similar to, you know, the pickup truck that the announcer was. So maybe they'll be like a similar mold. We'll have to see when he's released.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, that's kind of an interesting discovery. I think some people thought it was an SUV as well until just now. Now on the side here you can see the signature of Roscoe in white right there. I think that's pretty cool. I do wish they used a different font because I feel like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely the same as the font used on Lightning McQueen. I mean, nah, I don't have one around, but you guys know what I'm talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, the side door here, I love the mud splatter up. That's very realistic because since he is a part of the demolition derby and he's down there on the field, he's definitely going to get muddy and the up splash from the tire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those locations make sense. Then he has the Thunder Hollow Speedway logo right there. Looks a little cocky, which again makes sense because it's a local establishment, not too professional over there. Another mud splash here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the back, you have the Thunder Hollow Speedway decal again there on the window. And he also has a couple decals on the back window as well. Let me see if I can read them real quick. You guys can focus in on the background there while I try to read these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't think so. Yeah, they are so small, so sorry about that guys. Anyway, getting back here, I like the spare tire and I like how the rim is painted. Have you guys just saw my review of Christmas Holiday Sarge?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would know that his spare tire is not painted, like the rim is just the same color as the actual tire, which in this case, that would be black.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, it does match the tires kinda back when I just realized. It's kinda more dull here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This seems to be shinier, which actually makes sense because since these are being used, they would get dirty. This one's staying up and staying clean. So that's cool. It's a nice little feature. I just don't remember seeing him with it in the movie, but I'm sure he had it. His license plate reads N.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Significance to this license plate, and I just don't know. Maybe it's his voice actor, I don't even know who played him though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And on the other side here it's actually not identical because he has this piston decal right there in green. There's some text around it but I cannot read that either. It's just so, gosh darn small. So I like how it's different because that's obviously not on this side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very cool. And his hat up here reads Thunder Hollow Speedway. Very, very cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, that's definitely a hat. You can see how it's just like a baseball cap. Before we move on to comparisons, I wanted to point out two more details here. I like the side view mirrors. They are big and they are a plastic rubber so you can kind of bend them. And I also like these side running boards here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's actually something Mattel has never really done before on cars. These are separate pieces, separate from the base actually. Or actually, it looks like they come up from the base, but they're separate from the body. And it's very nicely detailed, like you can see the black there and then the brown trim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just kind of like when you step down and then you can step to the ground. I mean it's more for humans because obviously it's not necessary for cars but still a very cool detail. And here's the base if you are interested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not really like we have many pickup trucks with the bed covered except for Todd the pizza plant truck, which is not that similar to him at all, but I have a big family here. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, since I just realized that it was a pickup truck, all these comparisons are kind of meaningless. Swift Alternator, no. Van, nah, not really. What did I just say, ma? Kind of meant to say nah right there. Here we have Gearet Taylor, the security guard without the gun. Nope, not really as well. I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Movies, I think, yeaah, he was from the first one, the first planes, and this guy's name is Roscoe as well, but they're two completely different


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is now your favorite demolition derby related car. We have a lot. We have of course the contenders, the staff team, you have McQueen and Cruz, Todd the pizza plant truck counts as one as well. Miss Frither, I think Miss Frither will always be my favorite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the reason I wasn't saying that as if that was my excuse for him not having no draws on. You gotta have some draws on, dog. I mean, even in my house, we used to have a two-layer rule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there's a small number. Can I get that first graphic? That first graphic. Now let me show you this. Now if it's 66, help me with the back here. So 66 massages. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out of those, out of those 42, give me, give me the, give me the next clip. Out of that 42, we doing basic math. Look at the bottom stat, at least 15 issued statements of support for Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that what you have to realize is you take that 42, take that 15 away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing really happened. I don't have an issue with it. And on top of that, 15 have come out and said, not only did I not have a problem with it, I'm gonna put my name, my reputation, my business, and I'm gonna put it on the line and say, I'm going to give him a statement of support. And it said at least 15.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my thing is this, when you got people, and this is why I always say, it's not that hard people, it's not that difficult, we don't gotta keep doing this, they're gonna have a civil case, right? They're gonna have a civil trial. Because if you wanna talk about 24, he's sitting there telling you, but what about 15?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when you talk about, when you talk, you talk about the once in a lifetime check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember I told you I had something, I was like, he said, save it. My thing is this, I'm super paranoid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? I'm paranoid about a lot of stuff, right? I'm paranoid about who I hire, how many times I see him, all the above letter D. Cause if it's me, and I'm an athlete,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last thing I need somebody to be like is, hey, I, I massaged him for, for five years and we were great until he did this. Now that person has five years of relationship with you. That person knows you. That person knows your in and out. They know your schedule. They know your routine. If it's me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can understand why a rich professional guy says, nah, we're going to do, we're going to do one-offs. You're not getting that close to me. Give me a new massage therapist every time. Yeah, but gee, Tyvis is telling you that's unusual. Well, here's the thing. You guys don't do this. Well, I mean, you got to understand. This is a quarterback, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've seen people, now what's to stop, say for instance, what's to stop somebody from saying, alright, this is a great, uh, thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could you then as a massage therapist say, I massage Deshaun Watson, I massage Brent Favre, I massage, could you use those names in what you're doing to sell your product? Oh, you do. Absolutely. No, listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if you give them one massage, they are already going to use. Yeah. Well, so could that explain why the team has them doing an NBA?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just say this and I just always have to, you know, give you this disclaimer. You do realize that the highest level of our food chain is now athletes. We put athletes here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, no. I just think athletes, because here's what we're going to say. You can do, underneath that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reality star told NBC host Billy Bush, suggesting he might start kissing the actress he was about to meet for the first time. It will be no big deal. Since you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. You can grab them by the, and you can do anything. Now hold on to that point, full stop. That man had launch codes. Did y'all athletes hear?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just read you that statement. That was before!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My point is for all the Browns fans that sit up there, I'm not going to support the team. Nobody ran and left the country. We didn't go to Canada. We didn't get on, but there were a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but here's the thing. This could be mutually exclusive. You can stay in the country and say I don't agree with what our top of our leadership is doing. And you can be a Browns fan and say I don't really agree with the situation with Deshaun Watson. You can do two things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they just set it up. Like, at the end of the day, man, people is responsible for their own behavior. I done said it for a hundred times. People be thinking like, oh, you caping, you throwing the cape on for Deshaun Watson. No bro, from Jump Street, I'm like, look, anytime, I'm telling you, anytime you have sex with somebody,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to, you have to be cognizant of who you, you doing that with because you are giving them power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, you giving, like, that sharing a part of your life with that person, right? You can't come to me and tell me, oh, you did this or you did that. I don't even know you. I ain't never been in a room along with you and I'm not going to. And if I was a John Watson and people need to start putting some parameters in place because everybody's continuously acting naive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's not be naive. If I'm going in and I'm having a high-priced athlete there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guess what? People know you got 240. See, this ain't like other places. You could walk down the street and a businessman could be wearing a gray t-shirt and loafers and you don't know he got a billion dollars. But they know you. You throw the football and they know it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, here we go. Then we talk about Zeke. Zeke Elliott. Let me tell you why. Zeke Elliott would have got a lot of money because he was marketable, right? He, he had a dance celebration when you, when you got a celebration when he was, he was the first one doing this right here. I hate that my least favorite


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, they let him get some stuff off that nobody else got off. Nobody. Listen, there's rules and regulations. I used to try to be a fat boy that looked cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got the midriff cut off with the back flap in the back. Nobody gets that off ever. He got that off. He had the number 15, a DB position. I'm like, that's a quarterback number. He made 15 look cool. And on top of that, he had crazy looking hair and he had a Lebron shooting sleeve on. He had all the exterior stuff. Yea, you do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I picked for the, I picked for the outside of him. I picked Maurice Claret, obviously, was a dude. But then my second dude, my second dude was Chase Young. That's a great pick. Chase Young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had all the intangibles, everything you need to be a defensive end. That's going to get you some money out there. He had a single digit. The number two is super dope. He came out there. He had the wrist braces on. And when you play college football, NCAA college football, you automatically put your edge rusher or any athlete with dreads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had the gold dreads. And he had a shield, a Nike shield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would have been getting so- He was the upgrade to Nick Bosa. Nick Bosa was just out there taped. You got your hands taped. You're all about the uniform and the- and the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'ma tell you what, and Maurice don't want to tell you this though, Maurice Claret was with, I went to OU and I, I was there during the 2000s. There was not, there's not one dude who, who when you came down to school and you pulled up at a party,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This man wasn't even at parties, but his buzz was at an all time high. He was, he had unicorns on his team. Unicorns. Do you know what unicorns are? Fictitious people. You're like, gosh, who was that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All tens. Lord. He was winning. And he had a number one. He had the 13 running back. You can't do nothing with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm sorry about this, I'm so sorry. We forgot one person. Dang it, we forgot one person. Who'd we forget? Mikey Hattie? This dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] would have been in IL overnight. So the one hit wonder would just be like, this guy blew up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you believe, do you believe that after he had that run, for me, I thought after that run, he should have just left, and I thought he would have just left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got lost in the shuffle because of his talent. I always tell people, at Ohio State, Ohio State is the gift and the curse, man. Cause they not gonna spot shadow you. Like if you come in and just kill, they like, okay, we'll play you for a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got, they got competition every day. You might be the dude and then come back the next year and be like, well, you're just not, you're a guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was okay. I mean, it's kinda cool. It's cool. For SEC schools. Now listen, if you talk about SEC schools, that, that, I mean, that don't even need to be on the list. Like, cause I'm wanting to see which one you want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What happened? What happened to your program? Colorado was a power. Nebraska versus Colorado. Big, what is it? What is it? Big 12 back then? Big 8. Big 8 back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My brother, they got a chance to play at uh, Virginia Tech. I think Marcus Vick was there at the time. Ooh, that's a good name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, listen, we were supposed to be, you were supposed to be dope. He turned out to be a pocket passer. No, we want Vic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so they used to jingle these keys. Now they got rid of a lot of that noise making stuff in college. They don't let you do the cowbells in Mississippi State no more. They don't let you do none of that now. So uhm, some of the traditions are gone, but Virginia Tech is quite loud. Number two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What does the A&M stand for? Agriculture? The marketing or something? Military, right? Oh, I know. So is it a military school? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Previously, Texas. No, I know. Oh, that's Texas. Um, no, no, no, it's, it's Texas. I thought Texas Western became Texas A&M.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know JT, going back to your high school days, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you come from, uh, the great state of Texas. Now, Texas in high school, I mean, it's, I mean, it's, it's known for football, right? Ohio's a great state as well. Uhm, did you have a hard decision going to Ohio State? And what teams in Texas, uh, did you grow up like watching or grow up as, you know, rooting for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, JT. Oh, go ahead. I'm sorry. You know, JT, I'm, you know, I'm just sitting here watching you, right? And uhm, and how you communicate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how you, you break things down. You talked about, uhm, life after football, right? You know, Ty talked to Tyvers all the time about, you know, you know, that, that shock, uh, of being like, okay, this is all finished or I'm, I'm going to transition to something else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you, have you thought about, uh, going into coaching? Because I don't know, I just see it. The way you communicate the game, the way you, you just as a, as a leader, as a quarterback, and you talked about just learning different languages or whatever, uhm, and just being able to do that. Have you ever thought about, because I just, I don't know, it's just me, I just look at them like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Tyves, you can hop in on this. Now JT, like, you know, when I played, right, one of the things I hated was like working out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, what is the hardest workout you've


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, my brother, so people would get to, my brother, he was, I don't know why, he was just young, he like 16, and you know, like, he saw this girl that liked him, right, he was gonna come in, and he was just like, he told everybody, ay, ay, ay, ay, give me my dog tags, give me our dog tags, let me put these on real quick. We was like, bro, them dog tags ain't gonna do nothing for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why you thought that was it? He was going to use this, but he was going to use that breaking news. He made it. He's going to get that off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite Cleveland sports moment would have to be the Kyrie Irving 2016 shot. It's the only time that I've ever cried over any sport event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's game three, they come out blazing tonight. Just let the leader, let the guy in the clubhouse work his magic here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clay looks like he walking in clay. This man, this man is, he never really was the most athletic dude, but he just, he's relegated to these finger rolls and pump fakes. I'm like bro, anytime you make Jordan Poole look like you like athlete, I'm like bro, Clay man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know Chris, as Deshaun Watson, uhm, the player on the field, and the Cleveland Browns on the field, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you feel about this collective unit? I know the last couple of years we've had Odo Beckham Jr. We've had a lot of different other players who we said, hey, this team has really high hopes they're going to do this, this, that, and the third.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but when you look at it on paper now, as constituted,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, do you think this is one of the most talented teams that you've had an opportunity to watch or to see come together as a collective?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you, you had a crystal ball and you knew, say for instance, Deshaun Watson was getting suspended for a year. Doesn't play at all this year. Would you take Baker Mayfield fifth year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knowing that what you know, or would you say, I'm cool. I still make the move for Deshaun Watson. Which one would you take?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna be honest. Breaking news cart. Give me that breaking news cart, bro. Give me that, give me that together. With no music on it. With no music underneath it. I think, I think for me, I'm gonna change, I'm gonna change my mind about something. I'm gonna change my mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] G Bush, G Bush has come around to something. If Deshaun Watson is suspended for an entire year, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am on board with Baker Mayfield being quarterback. Finally. But if it's less, if it's eight, I'm not doing it. Six, I'm not doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell you what man, I always say it man, if you want to be freaked out, just go to any one of these weight rooms for any of these college approvals, you're going to be freaked out. You're like, but that guy's not good, it doesn't matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you don't always keep your shades down, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was here and left a note for you? Mr. and Mrs. Adams. That lovely little couple used to live next door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I miss her. Hot time flies. You know, they've been gone about eight months now and she's big as I am. If it's a boy, they gonna call it Samuel. And if it's a girl, Lucille. They couldn't wait. That's the reason why they left you that note.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I don't care. I don't want to hold one that way anyhow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I like Jimmy. And if Jerry Fillmore thinks he's going to pick my friend, then I'm going to show him how wrong he is. Good night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it wasn't your fault. I believe in you, Jimmy. You know I believe in you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, fine. I've taken a home to live with us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you mean Fillmore made you do it? You'd take the only thing that I've ever loved. You'd make a criminal out of Jimmy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got to think about Jimmy and Mary. To hurt Mary would hurt him again. We must pay that money back some way though, Ralph.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Ralph, how can you help it? He's got both of us. Don't you see?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mary will be back home in a little while. I know she'll be glad to see you, Jimmy. Jerry, please. I think we'd better be going. We're late as it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, thank you. I think we'd better be going. Merry Christmas to you. Merry Christmas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That defense is nothing to sneeze at. Last time I checked, Alvin Kamara is still on that team, along with a couple of weapons at the wide receiver spot, okay? Including my man, Alavi, and they got their big boy coming back. So you got that situation right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Derrick Carr got a lot to prove. Okay, along with Coach Allen. So we shall see, but the Saints are nothing to sneeze at. Plus the division is weak, so you're damn near gonna win this by default. Okay, so let's get that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kurt Cousins is no scrub during the regular season. Postseason is a different matter, but we talk about the regular season, right? So you gotta go with that! Okay, they had a good year last year, okay?

[Assistant] This is Trayvon Diggs. This is Stephon Gilmore. This is Demarcus Lawrence. This is Quinn, the defensive coordinator.

[Assistant] I'm sorry, I gotta look at it like that. We got the Eagles, the 49ers, the Cowboys, the Vikings, the Saints. It is the preseason going into the last week of the preseason, but that's my top five teams in the NFC right now with one other thing. The list is fluid. It's fluid.
