[Assistant] Mottup now is in the fifth grade, and he swiftly receives a pile of new books. One luxury the school of his home village does not offer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're having rice and lentils, served by the so-called foster mothers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Motup, the foster mothers are the people to whom he relates most closely at boarding school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They live together with him in the residential home and support their fostering not only practically but also morally. One of them is Dolma Tseki.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their fathers, Latak and Thinley, are back on the Chadah. Ahead of them lies a long and dangerous way, and no one knows what surprises it holds in store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've heard once that a boy...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thomas Jefferson said, government that governs least governs best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the question that people ought to ask is, who do you think will be more responsive to the healthcare needs in your community? Your governor and your state legislature or a congressman and a president and a far-off nation's capital?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what I'd do if something really serious had happened to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maggie, it's Patricia Hamilton. Welcome home, how was Greece?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, wonderful. Now listen, darling, you've arrived home just in time for Angela's birthday party. Open!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's that nurse? It's an hour since I asked her to see you about a private room. It's alright. Oh, it's bad enough that they're keeping you here overnight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll speak to the head of the hospital if necessary, but you're getting your own room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Gordon, you didn't see him. He's very scruffy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what I'd do if something really serious had happened to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, that's ours, 105. There, 88.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I called your house when I got the news, Christy. I've been all over town since looking for you. It's a good thing I remembered your mentioning, Anselmo. Now that you are here, Mr. Phillips, why are you here? Because you wouldn't have a quorum without me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want the money too, but not that bad. My car's right in front of the door, get in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't know you were under the duck. His orders were to get you wherever and whenever. I thought about you a lot, Cravet. For three years about you and the money you stole from me. You're gonna be a poor man now, Cravet. A dead man's a poor man. I got you into this. Stop it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back in the car. But the money's inside. Do as you're told. What about Christy? She goes too. You won't get the money. Yes I will. I know where it is now. I'll come back for it later. Get in the car, both of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I regret to inform you, Mr. Pyle, you are no longer a newspaper man. You are now a distinguished journalist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'd never known him out of Little Britain, and had never enjoyed the privilege of being on a familiar footing at the castle, I might have doubted him. Not so for a moment, knowing him as I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My worldly affairs began to wear a gloomy appearance, and I was pressed for money by more than one creditor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even I myself began to know the want of money, I mean of ready money in my own pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to relieve it by converting some easily spared articles of jewelry into cash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I had quite determined that it would be a heartless fraud to take more money from my patron in the existing state of my uncertain thoughts and plans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore I had sent him the unopened pocketbook by Herbert to hold in his own keeping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I felt a kind of satisfaction, whether it was a false kind or a true, I hardly know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In not having profited by his generosity since his revelation of himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the time wore on, an impression settled heavily upon me that Estella was married.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fearful of having it confirmed, though it was all but a conviction, I avoided the newspapers and begged Herbert, to whom I had confided the circumstances of our last interview, never to speak of her to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why I hoarded up this last wretched little rag of the robe of hope that was rent and given to the winds, how do I know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why did you who read this commit that not dissimilar inconsistency of your own last year, last month, last week? It was an unhappy life that I lived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And its one dominant anxiety, towering over all its other anxieties, like a high mountain above a range of mountains, never disappeared from my view. Still no new cause for fear arose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me start from my bed as I would with the terror fresh upon me that he was discovered. Let me sit listening as I would with dread for Herbert's returning step at night, lest it should be fleeter than ordinary and winged with evil news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Condemned to inaction and a state of constant restlessness and suspense, I rode about in my boat and waited, waited, waited as I best could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were states of the tide when, having been down the river, I could not get back through the eddy chafed arches and starlings of old London Bridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I left my boat at a wharf near the custom house to be brought up afterwards to the temple stairs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was not averse to doing this as it served to make me and my boat a commoner incident among the waterside people there. From this slight occasion sprang two meetings that I have now to tell of. One afternoon late in the month of February I came ashore at the wharf at dusk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had pulled down as far as Greenwich with the ebb tide and had returned with the tide


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It had been a fine bright day but had become foggy as the sun dropped and I had had to feel my way back among the shipping pretty carefully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is an unconscionable old shark for you, said Herbert. What do you suppose he wants now, Handel? I don't know, said I. Something to drink?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He keeps his grog ready mixed in a little tub on the table. Wait a moment and you'll hear Clara lift him up to take some. There he goes. Another roar with a prolonged shake at the end. Now, said Herbert, as it was succeeded by silence, he's drinking


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, said Herbert, as the growl resounded in the beam once more, he's down again on his


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clara returned soon afterwards, and Herbert accompanied me upstairs to see our charge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we passed Mr. Barley's door, he was heard horsely muttering within in a strain that rose and fell like wind the following refrain, in which I substitute good wishes for something quite the reverse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this strain of consolation, Herbert informed me, the invisible Barley would commune with himself by the day and night together, often while it was light, having at the same time one eye at a telescope which was fitted on his bed for the convenience of sweeping the river.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his two cabin rooms at the top of the house, which were fresh and airy, and in which Mr. Barley was less audible than below, I found Provis comfortably settled. He expressed no alarm, and seemed to feel none that was worth mentioning, but it struck me that he was softened, indefinably, for I could not have said how, and could never afterwards recall how when I tried, but certainly


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For anything I knew, his animosity towards the man might otherwise lead to his seeking him out and rushing on his own destruction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, when Herbert and I sat down with him by his fire, I asked him first of all whether he relied on Wemmick's judgment and sources of information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I told him how Wemmick had heard in Newgate Prison, whether from officers or prisoners, I could not say, that he was under some suspicion, and that my chambers had been watched.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How Wemmick had recommended his keeping close for a time and my keeping away from him and what Wemmick had said about getting him abroad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean the guy works like a dog now to get in shape and practice and all those other things. It's amazing the change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm always leery of somebody just as another example of your, your bias and go, no, that, that's going to be the best person we have on that. And then they smile. I always feel like, well, why are you smiling about that? It seems like a lie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The desire of ages, chapter 84. Peace be unto you. On reaching Jerusalem, the two disciples


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enter at the Eastern Gate, which is open at night on festival occasions. The houses are dark and silent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They go to the upper chamber where Jesus spent the hours of the last evening before his death. Here they know that their brethren are to be found. Late as it is, they know that the disciples will not sleep till they learn for a certainty what has become of the body of their Lord. They find the door of the chamber securely barred. They knock for admission, but no answer comes. All is still. Then they give their names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The door is carefully unbarred. They enter and another unseen enters with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The travellers find all in surprised excitement. The voice of those in the room break out into thanksgiving in praise saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have just ended and some are saying that they cannot believe it, for it is too good to be true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When behold, another person


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stand before them. Every eye is fastened upon the stranger. No one has knocked for entrance. No footsteps have been heard. The disciples are startled and wonder what it means.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I, myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come into him and will sup with him and he with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The countenance of the risen Savior, His manner, His speech, were all familiar to His disciples.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they rise in perfect health and symmetry. Yet in the glorified body their identity will be perfectly preserved. Then shall we know even also as we are known.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the face radiant with the light shining from the face of Jesus, we shall recognize the liniments of those we love. When Jesus met with his disciples, he reminded them of the words he had spoken to them before his death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the Psalms concerning him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And thus it behooved Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The disciples began to realize the nature and extent of their work. They were to proclaim to the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wonderful truths which Christ had entrusted to them. The events of his life, his death and resurrection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were to proclaim the gospel of peace and salvation through repentance and the power of the savior. And when he had said this, he breathed on them and saith unto them, receive ye the holy ghost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whosoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them and whosoever sins ye retain, they are retained.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not until this was received could the disciples fulfill the commission to preach the gospel to the world. But the Spirit was now given for a special purpose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he desired to impress them with the fact that without the Holy Spirit, this work could not be accomplished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Holy Spirit is the breath of spiritual life in the soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The impartation of the Spirit is the impartation of the life of Christ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those who possess the inward working of the spirit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in whose life the Christ life is manifested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I to stand as representative men to minister in behalf of the Church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Christ here gives no liberty for any man to pass judgment upon others. In the Sermon on the Mount he forbade this. It is the prerogative of God, but on the Church in its organized capacity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Toward those who fall into sin, the church has a duty to warn, to instruct, and if possible, to restore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reprove, rebuke, exhort, the Lord says, with all long suffering and doctrine. Deal faithfully with wrongdoing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Call sin by its right name. Declare what God has said in regard to lying, Sabbath breaking, stealing, idolatry, and every other evil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She must say about sin what God says about it. She must deal with it as God directs. And her action is ratified in heaven. He who despises the authority of the church


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they themselves were not empowered to remove one stain of sin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The name of Jesus is the only name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. When Jesus first met the disciples in the upper chamber, Thomas was not with them. He heard the reports of the others and received abundant proof that Jesus had risen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He brooded over his wretchedness, which seemed all the darker in contrast with the hope and faith of his brethren. During this time he repeatedly declared,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his hands, the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and thrust my hand into his side. I will not believe. He would not see through the eyes of his brethren or exercise faith, which was dependent upon their testimony. He ardently loved his Lord, but he had allowed jealousy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A number of the disciples now made the familiar upper chamber their temporary home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at evening, all except Thomas gathered here. One evening, Thomas determined to meet with the others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Notwithstanding his unbelief, he had a faint hope that the good news was true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While the disciples were taking their evening meal, they talked of the evidences which Christ had given them in the prophecies. Then came Jesus, the doors being shut and stood in the midst and said, peace be unto you. Turning to Thomas, he said, reach hither thy finger and behold my hands and reach hither thy hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These words showed that he was acquainted with the thoughts and words of Thomas. The doubting disciple knew that none of his companions had seen Jesus for a week. They could not have told the master of his unbelief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He recognized the one before him as his lord. He had no desire for further proof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should the world now follow the example of Thomas, no one would believe unto salvation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many who are given to doubt excuse themselves by saying that if they had the evidence which Thomas had from his companions, they would believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many who, like Thomas, wait for all cause of doubt to be removed will never realize their desire. They gradually become confirmed in unbelief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those who educate themselves to look on the dark side and murmur and complain know not what they do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This example shows how we should treat those whose faith is weak and who make their doubts prominent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jesus did not overwhelm Thomas with reproach, nor did he enter into controversy with him. He revealed himself to the doubting one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Jesus by His generous love and consideration broke down all the barriers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unbelief is seldom overcome by controversy. It is rather put upon self-defense and finds new support and excuse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But let Jesus, in his love and mercy, be revealed as the crucified Savior, and from many one's unwilling lips will be heard the acknowledgement of Thomas, my Lord and my God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gaito told me everything. I got worried and came looking for you. And I found you right here, passed out by the waterfall!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really know for sure, but that's what happened before he evolved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are all personalities bound up with likes and none with dislikes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you find a group of eyes which do not want to self-remember, what do you do about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is the difference between real personalities and false personality?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't the study of false personality analyzing oneself, I thought it was a bad thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This morning, he brought over this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought it was a rather remarkable coincidence, so I examined both pictures under a microscope. The cloud formations are identical. In fact, all the details are the same except that you're in one picture and you're not in the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope you're not a ghost, Randall. I hope you're who you say you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it would have been an easy matter to slip this negative out of the newspaper files long enough to have a reprint made. A reprint superimposing your picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, Randall, but you must remember my position. I've gone into this yacht club deal whole hog. Advise my friends to do so too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now there's a quarter of a million dollars involved, and we've nothing more to show than an option on a piece of shoreline in this blueprint. I've heard of confidence men before. Confidence men?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I already did, Mr. Randall, this morning. He left for Europe a month ago. That's why I'm asking you for some sort of explanation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Nobody's ever asked me that before. Saw you come out of the YAA. You don't look like the type they usually get there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anybody gets hit on the jaw. Flush by Marciano.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think we know anymore, that's, that's really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole thing in a nutshell. I mean, when he came here, he had this all American story, as we all know, growing up in Georgia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got a home for, uh, from Warwick Dunn, part of Habitat for Humanity. We found him very personable. All-American success story. Here's a guy that, after Hurricane Harvey, donated a game check, or his first two career workers at the stadium because of their hardships with the storm. He was very personable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously these days our interactions with athletes are quite limited because of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There, the bubble around them and then when you throw in COVID as well, but he was everything that I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People thought he was at that time. I mean, he was, he was easy to work with, very personable, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was an all-American success story that we had seen prior to him coming to Houston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously, the Texans were having some issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously they were looking for a new head coach, a general manager, and what happened was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dashaun has asked about it in a Zoom news conference and he says that he's been told that he will have a say in the process and then all of a sudden we hear that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reportedly, he did not have a say in the process. So again, this is before any of the civil cases. This is before any of this comes out and we learn here that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He will not play for this team anymore because he was not part of this when it came to hiring, higher ups in the organization, general manager and coach. He wasn't, uh, he wasn't involved in that and, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where it all went south. And when you look at the contract, I think a lot of people...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll look at that contract and perhaps say this is when it all changed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was this all-American success story and in some ways, many ways still is. But look at perhaps some of his presence on social media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that contract, not directly after it, but maybe weeks, months later, the, the attitude, I guess you would say became


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very much about money and status and being elite. Uhm, and, and I think that's perhaps


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or that Deshawn started possibly becoming a different person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's a great question. I would say, oof, I don't know. That's a good ques- I would say, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when you look at, when you, I guess it's never really, uhm, it's never really come up around here because of, uhm, well I shouldn't say that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a great question. I don't know. I don't know. I think when you look at everything that was surrounding him, uhm, I would have a hard time believing that a team


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, would, would put somebody out there with 22 civil cases, but you know, it's the NFL and obviously winning, um, is a top priority. I, I don't know. I don't know what the answer to that question would be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Uhm, listen, he was the last guy that you would have ever expected this. Now I'm talking the off the field stuff. If you had a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pick a player on the Texans or any player, um, in Houston sports for something like this to happen to show on Watson at the bottom of the list from what we knew about Deshaun Watson. In fact, a member of the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of the team told me as much. You know, he said, listen, this was a guy that never would have saw this coming. So yes, and I think what, what, what has kind of helped this process along was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, being a third round draft pick, there's talk that if he had stayed in college at Stanford, that he would have been a guy who would have gone much higher this time around. I think that we saw enough of him


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a number of different areas to think, okay, maybe there's something here. Now, is it going to be Sean Watson, football wise?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think that that gives Houston fans, uhm, that ability to turn the page and say enough with this guy, you know, we may have something here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the most potters on the team, as I just said, I spoke to one player after all this went down, who, who again said that he, to Sean would have been one of the last guys I would have ever expected this to come from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was the quarterback. I mean, he was a guy who gave presence to his offensive lineman, who opened up a cheesesteak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, store here in Houston and this was during COVID pandemic really at the height of it and some players were not wearing masks and he went and apologized and paid all their fines. So he was a guy who hurt himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and had to take a bus. I think he had some, some damaged ribs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he took a bus to Jacksonville from Houston because obviously the pressure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arguably is one of the best college players we've seen most successful, uh, in recent history. And he was, he was walking the walk and talking, not really talking the talk, but he was definitely walking the walk. And, and we had no indication that the players felt any differently, uh, about him than, than you, than any player would feel about their star quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think there are certainly a large number of fans here that are, this guy, I don't want to quit her. And he quit on this team. He quit on the organization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy just quit and we for a quitter here. Now, a small amount that probabl and let's see what we can sure the team did. I mean


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think on a podcast sayi he in his first conversat


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One in-depth conversation with Deshaun and Deshaun was, uh, I think his message was, Hey, you know, what can we do here? And he's like, I'm not going to play for you. It's not you or the, the, the new coaching staff you've assembled. I mean, think of this when the Texans made a transition in coaches, they kept the offensive coordinator, Tim Kelly. Why? Well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming back to the Texans, and I do believe that there's a large group of fans out there who just believe this guy was a quitter, and we don't want a quitter. If you don't want to be with us, that's alright, we don't want you either. Uhm, so I think that uhm, it's probably most of that, and then there's certainly a little, a little, a little pocket of fans that believe that, hey, this guy uhm, you know, we just wish it could have all worked out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm, let me think about that for a quarter of a second, millisecond. Yeah, he's elite. When you look at the, uh, when you look at the cast of receivers, now granted, when he first got here, you had DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller, albeit a guy who, um, has, has had some injury issues, but, um, that 2020 season,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the team wins four games. You look at the receivers that he had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, these guys are not household names. Some of them I don't think are even playing, might not even be playing in the NFL anymore. And you look at the numbers and the touchdowns to interception ratio that he did with that group, yeaah, he's a lead. There's no doubt in my mind that he's a lead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do. When you look at how far he got with uhm, the group here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Certainly there was a lot of star power, JJ Watt, DeAndre Hopkins, Sean, but I think where the Texans certainly had issues and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know. I can't really speak to that. I think that Tony Busby has said in the past he doesn't even know who...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Millions and millions of dollars to different projects throughout Houston. I have a hard time believing that, uh, that, uh, someone of Tony Busby's stature doesn't at least know of someone of Cal McNair's stature. Um, so I really can't speak to that. Um, yeah, I, I just, I have a hard time, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thinking that Tony Busby doesn't know who Cal McNair is. If I do have that correct that he did say that he didn't know who Cal McNair was. Yea, that is odd that he would say that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marciano just, uh, did what he had to do with an old Joe Lewis. He overwhelmed him. He wore him down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't allow him the space to use his experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I rather, I rather for Deshaun Watson to come back and just play it out that way and to to dispel my two friends here. I'm not the only one to think like I think I just I was watching TV yesterday. Marcellus Wiley is thinking just as I quoted on TV yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stole it from you. Right, right. No, I think that anybody that is being reasonable here know how this game works and this profession works, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Understand that Baker Mayfield controls no cards. The Browns control all the cards. Yep. The Browns say jump, he says how high. He doesn't like it and that's how it works. And he doesn't get paid. That's right, that's how it works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To your point. Yeah, I need Watson, right? Because I don't think he's getting out those any long suspension because if I think if it goes long player associated gonna go upside NFL's head with a bunch of things, right? And I don't think it works out in anybody's benefit. It behooves the entire group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To put this thing to breast and I don't care about what Brady got because they didn't have arbitrator doing the thing when Brady was cheating with the bowl, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's gonna be ready to go about this, right? So you just named some great assets here, right? Yeah, I'm a long time Brown, right? So I remember the good days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm used to be in the game right before we go to the Super Bowl. That's who I am, right? I'm the dude that bet $500 to Georgia like the Browns were going to beat Denver and walk across there. The Biner left the ball in the carpet at the one, right? I'm that guy when Mike called back said, bring me my money to practice tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have nothing, right? So I don't mind when we call out others for nonsense, right? This is nonsense. So she's a legitimate source.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or she would be making the money she's making, right? So she is a gymnast, so she's played her dues in this, in this business. Yeaah. In a male dominated business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, how do you think they get paid? They get paid because they think that they're in the know and they get the juice, right? When you don't get the juice, then you got to make, you got to minimize someone else. That's right. Right. So this is, this is the game, right? So here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, but to that point, which is, I see where you're going with the license.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? No, no, no, I'm talking about. Okay. So let's say he goes, he goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His thinking will be much different than it is at 26. Let me tell you something. When they traded me, when I walked into the after the Eastern Conference Finals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, the Bulls, we lost to the Pistons, right? I come off a 20 some point game in the final, right? And so then I walk into the Bulls office the next day and tell them, oh, you got to get me up out of here, right? Because it's not going to work for me. You're not doing what's best for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm on a team that's about to make the ascension. I'm too dumb to even know we're making the ascension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Leroy, do you see, do you see the growth? Do you see the growth in him or give me a grade? Just give me a letter grade on Stefanski because you've seen enough work of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leroy, I'll say this to that, right? Because I've been around for a minute, right? I look at the groceries are in the cabinets, right? They've got a lot of groceries here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So you should be able to win with the groceries you have here. I'll take, I'll take your own, your own alma mater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at 26, you're not going to know that wrong. When I told Chicago, I was ready to leave. Thomas, you know, who tried to talk me out of it. Jordan tried to talk me out of it. I was like, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. I'm leaving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so Charles Oakley was in my wedding. The ex was Avery McDaniel, my teammate, my friend. We go to the garden in New York City and they get into a scrap. I just come out the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every bench clear, because it fell into the first row of the garden stands, right? Cleared out the whole gardens. When I get down there, they're trading haymakers. I'm not talking about hitting each other in the face. Just go to the YouTube and you can see it. It'll be on there. All you heard was this. The trading of body size and they were in there like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next stop, and then afterwards at the end of the, at the end of the game, X tells me in the locker room, you go tell your boy Charles, I'm going to kill him when I see him. And then Charles picks me up to go to dinner. Charles says, when you see your boy X tell him, I'm going to kill him when I see him. Then they end up playing for the Knicks together. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I disagree with that because if the Browns are rolling around phone, people going to be there when the calves are rolling the 20,000 going to be with the calves and when the Indians were rolling with Kenny Lofton here, they were with the Indians, right? They haven't been here all together. I'm saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Brown specific fan is a Brown fan. They're not going anywhere. The NBA fan is a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has some merit because to this point I say this, right, and I just say it is a product, this is a result of a bad strategy that has went wayward a long time ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you are in sports here, there's a, there's a progression. There's a natural progression, right? And you're building to get better every year. That's traditionally how it works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that process, that player, there's some hunger there. You have to be hungry, right? You have to pay some dues here and you pay those dues in order to get to the next level you want to, right? I would just say this. Now you throw 11, 10 million dollars, 9 million dollars on some young, young, young person, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of the name and likeness, they deserve to get a better chance of some, a better opportunity. But I will tell you, you think that you're going to throw this money around here to young people who have no idea and you're not going to stunt their growth as, as you, cause you have to, there has to be a hunger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a whole nother argument, right? We're talking about the development of the next future class who run these professional leagues. So that's where these players are trying to be. They're trying to be in the pros, right? You have to be developed. Ohio State has a saying down in Columbus. I love Ohio State football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where it was developed here in Baker Commons on in the union where we have, uh, you could get $2 for a biscuit, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's an appreciation here. When I think you get this money up front, you're circumventing the issue. Ask how many professional players who strive to get to the pros and once they, gee, once they got the first bag did like this. I'm good. I was gonna say over four minutes cause I'll say I'm good. Gee, I know you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm not against the people getting that money. I'm not against it either. I'm not against the money. I'm against that you're derailing the product. There's two different things. Yes. Yes. Because there's nobody here for the guardrails for this money, right? You need guardrails. So Tyvis gets his money. I can guarantee you what Tyvis is going to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I like that list. It's been a while since you get Mikey credit because after the yesterday's list, that was awful. But today I don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, as a person, I'm a fried true Buckeye, right? And so, I mean, it's just a great classic venue of you. If you, if you're a historian of the game, you want to play in the Ohio State, but it is not, it is not that place. It's not, it's not that scary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can guarantee if you're a player from an opposing place, you get to play in Ohio State and we get to play in Notre Dame Stadium. You get to play play in the Coliseum in California USC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's happening with women's sports in this country? I think the WNBA, uh, uh, All-Star game is this weekend. I want you to make sure that I put a plug in for this. It is time to bring the Rockers back to Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I missed them. I really missed them, right? I enjoyed their time here and I know that we got out the game before the game was ready. The game has grown to such a way now that I think there are more teams here that have to be included in the expansion of the WNBA and I want Cleveland to be that location because it had a solid fan base. It still continues to have a solid fan base.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put a team back here in Cleveland. If the guys that listen to me over at Rock and Mortgage Fieldhouse ring the Cleveland Rockers back. Maybe your daughter can play for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Many people don't know the story of Larry Dobie and then you just, you just put it out on the, in the atmosphere where many people talk about offline here, right? Right. You just wanted to be fair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today we're gonna review this. It's the Aram Espresso Maker. It's a manual espresso maker from Brazil. And I know what you're thinking, it looks like a grinder. And it does. But it's not. It doesn't grind coffee. This is just for making espresso. And it's quite interesting. Now, this is a highly, highly requested review. Lots of you wanna know what I think about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what you get is what you see here. You get the espresso maker in the middle, you get the base and sort of stand piece here, you get a little glass that's actually quite clever, a little dosing funnel, and a tamper to go with it. Let me show you how it works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this here is the basket piece of the whole puzzle, uh, and it's just a standard, uh, 53mm basket. I think this one has La Spaziale on the side. And it sits inside, uhm, this piece that helps it screw into the body of the machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like so. And this is where things get interesting. You put your hot water in the top here. And what's inside is a piston head attached to this central threaded piece. So what happens is when you unscrew the central piece, this is causing that piston head to lift up. And the water is pulled through it, through a one-way valve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that when you fully unwound it, what you should have is your bed of coffee, your hot water, and then your piston head. All you're going to do is twist the handle to build the pressure to push the water through the bed of coffee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I don't know what pressure you can get up to with this thing. You can get pretty high, but I'm not sure how high. Now, if you are out and about, you can just clip the little glass it comes with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In here, and it stays, which is a nice little thing. But if you bring it home, what you'd want to do is use the stand that it comes with. Now this is a hefty and well-made thing, there's a base piece that has a drip tray in it, which is very nice, and then the clamp here that holds it in place. To put it in, you do have to remove the basket, set it on top, tighten that up. But can it make good coffee?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes it can. With a few caveats. I don't think it's the most versatile espresso brewer, uh, but I think you can get some really delicious espresso.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we're gonna leave it. What I've got here actually is a thermometer. I've just put a thermocouple into the body of the brewer to see what's happening to the temperature. And generally I've found that if you put 95 Celsius water into a totally cold brewer, it dropped to the mid 60s. This thing soaks up


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It won't get hotter than 65 and we need to potentially, if we're using a pretty light roast coffee, do a second round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you, if you want to use something a little bit more developed, a little bit darker, you'll probably find to brew straight away. But I have so far struggled really to get this thing brewing in the 90s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all the way back down again. Now to dose our coffee, that's pretty simple. You get a little funnel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put it in. They recommend a pretty heavy dose. And from my experience, I think that's a pretty good idea. And so this is 19 grams of coffee in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got a neat little tamper with it. If you already had, say, a spaziale, you'd probably use whatever tamper you'd like. Now, occasionally I would get a bit frustrated because the action of screwing this in can be a little bit finicky. Just to find the start of the thread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just screw it in nice and tight. We are good to go. Now we're gonna need a little weighing scale to put under here, and then some hot water in the top, and then we can go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now as I start to lift up, that will effectively start a pre-infusion phase. Water will be going through the piston head and starting to soak into the coffee below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And again, if I wanted to, I could only go a certain number of turns up before pushing down again. By going all the way to the top, I will end up with more water in the brewer than I may want to use for an espresso. But counting turns is not really a viable thing for me. So we're at the top, and then we're gonna go pretty quickly to build up some pressure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now because I've got more liquid, uh, above the coffee than I actually want to push through it, I'm brewing on a scale and I'm essentially going to pull it out of the way when I get to my desired beverage weight, which is about 38 to 40 grams out. And there's our espresso. It smells pretty good. We should obviously give it a stir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had some pretty tasty shots, and that's one of them. It's got a nice texture, it's well extracted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It tastes like it was brewed at a slightly lower pressure than nine bars. I will struggle to verbalize to you how I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever you define as light roast, but certainly something that's not near second crack. Uh, then you're going to struggle a little bit to hit the kind of temperatures that you want. Now in terms of grind size, grind fussiness, you're definitely going to need a good grinder for this. I was going just slightly coarser than I would have done for say 19 grams going into a pump powered, uh, electric espresso machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So again, it suggests maybe we're not working at pressures of nine bars or close to it. You know, you want a grinder where you've got a good amount of control of your grind setting and you would be essentially at an espresso grind setting. So that's how it works. You've seen how you make coffee with it. Uh, what I'll do now is clean up a little bit and give you a kind of summary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The build must have something to do with it. And it certainly does. Everything is really beautifully made here. Uh, no corners have been cut. The wood on the outside of this is local in Brazil. It's stunning. Uh, the way the metal is machined is very good. The base is extremely solid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a very well-made thing. In terms of longevity, it does have some seals inside it, where the piston will be moving around the chamber, and any seal will degrade over time, but, uh, I think there's only a couple of seals in it, I think two or three, uh, they're not particularly complicated to change, I don't think, and they're not expensive to change either, so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of it is designed, I think, to be a long lasting product, not something that you would consider a disposable purchase. In terms of user experience, it's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's okay. The need to do substantial preheating is a bit frustrating for me. That's a downside. Uh, I think the locking in and out of the brew basket can be a little bit fiddly and frustrating. Uh, and that's a small downside for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An upside for sure is how portable this thing is. Of all of the manual espresso makers that I've, uh, used,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is by far the most portable. The fact that it comes out of the stand, that the glass clicks into the bottom I think is, is really nice and really thoughtful. And while it is portable,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is heavy. It's a solid, solid thing. So if you're thinking just casually throw it in some luggage and not worry about the weight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're going to notice it. It's definitely heavy. The biggest question on UI, UX kind of stuff is, is it better to spin a handle around and around or to pull a lever down? Is one better than the other?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, muscular almost as the, as the pressing action at the peak of pressing on a lever machine, but I'm also not sure I'm generating the same kinds of pressures doing it that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one upside of a lever machine is that feeling of a very direct feedback, right? You pull and you feel that the puck push back almost against you. It's quite a tactile experience. It's quite pleasant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a little bit more disconnected here. Certainly the way that you spin, you can feel some level of feedback from the pressure inside the unit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it, but it's a very indirect kind of feeling compared to the directness of a lever. I'm not sure I would say one is better or worse, but I could certainly see people having strong preferences one way or the other. I do wish I had some sort of pressure gauge or the ability to be modified to have a pressure gauge, but the nature of this kind of a brewer means that you could never really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have that in an easy or simple way. So you'll always be a little bit blind in that regard. Now, to clean it, it's pretty easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You take out your brew basket and then you would knock it out. You could knock it out against a knockbox. You could knock it into a bin. It's literally just a basket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back flush needed on this because there's no pressure release back through the dispersion screen the way that there is in a commercial espresso machine. Pretty easy to clean. Which leaves us the last question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the answer is it can make very good coffee for a good number of people. But I think it doesn't quite have the flexibility and the range of brewing of something like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels a little bit slower and you worry about heat loss from that perspective too. If high temperatures aren't essential to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you may really enjoy owning this espresso machine. And it is an enjoyable thing to use. I've really enjoyed making coffee, making espresso in more manual ways recently. And this is certainly not the end of my journey in that regard. Now this machine I don't get to keep as beautiful as it is because this review is powered by my Patreon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have supporters on Patreon who give me a budget to go out and buy these things and so I'm not reliant on manufacturers giving them to me. Uh, I don't have to do biased reviews. I can be honest about what I think and tell you my truth. And that's what I've done here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd love to know your thoughts though. Do you have one of these? Have you found something very different to what I found? Have you had a very different experience in terms of brewing espresso with it? Have you had a very different experience cleaning it, maintaining it, traveling with it? Did you want one of these?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you very much Maharaj for joining today once again. Thank you for having me again. The last two podcasts have been very illuminating and I thought today we could churn the scriptures a bit more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And take some more specific themes from scripture and see how we can analyze them from a contemporary perspective. If that's okay with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, ma'am. So we thought about the Dasha Avataras which we felt that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are very prominent in the cultural iconography as well as in the spiritual


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Significance of the, the spiritual significance in the tradition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are the various layers or levels at which they can be understood? So I thought we could discuss the past time as it goes forward and I can raise some questions and I can raise some points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe you can also either respond to the questions or add your points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when you use the word nigam, you are saying nigam, gum is to go down. So how is nigam connected with the Vedas?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, I thought the word Nigam itself refers to the Vedas, but you are saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now so, but then what is the significance of its moving down so that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what comes up is the Bhagavatam, Kalpatar or Galitam phalam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It talks about roots and, and fruits. Beautiful. Okay, thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Prabhupada in the introduction of the Bhagavatam also puts in Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Chaitanya Charitamruta is not just like a book of philosophy. It's more like a biography. It's more like a book of theology presented in the mode of a biography.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's both, you can say in a sense that it's both the book Bhagwat and the teaching. It's like a book, which is a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bhagavad guys made school level, Bhagavad guys made college level and Chaitanya Charitam was doctorate level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think in your constructive theologizing paper, you mentioned this point that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a sense, every reader is at one level an interpreter because every reader takes something from the scripture and then they apply it individually. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in that sense it's true. This makes sense. And we have our intellectual world view. There's so many things that have influenced us that shape how we look at the scriptures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Prabhupada said something similar about Saint Francis of Assisi. Prabhupada heard that he talked about like sister wind and brother mountain and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prabhupada was very appreciative of that. That is also God Consciousness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know whether he used the word agotham in that context, but Prabhupada was quite appreciative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are these different ways of looking at the Bhagavatam or are these just different, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So say if you want to consider the concept, the Bhagavatam's description of Krishna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we could say, consider, you know, okay, what is said about Krishna in the Bhagavatam and then we see how that relates with the conception of divinity in the Vedic literature or how that is elaborated on the Gaudiya tradition or how that relates with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so now I just had, I was thinking of approaching this also not from such a visually clear path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we study the Bhagavatam, so we could discuss how say something like the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The traditional and the academic perspective of looking at something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So maybe more like, if a rational way if you look at it, what all, what all could be the objections that come up from it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you said, we represent, we have, we bring our


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, intellectual, cultural and various other influences into how we look at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes of course and entering into it is, it will, it is a relishable. So that's what we want to do of course. And so now, uh, should we start with Matsya Maharaj?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, now the first question that, I mean comes up to a rational mind is, you know, is this literal that there is a small fish that becomes huge and then there is always the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the western mind or to the modern mind, that is often the idea that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is this either anthropomorphism or zoomorphism that is this imagery of God in animals and things like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm just, okay. Theromorphism, the identification of animal characteristics of supernatural being. Okay. And, uh, zoomorphism, at least


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zoo-morphism refers, it, it refers not just to, I think it's not so much about, uh, God, it can refer to anything which you attribute animal characteristics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, you know that Bhakti Siddhanta Thakur, in a rough way,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give some kind of correlation between the Dashavataras and the and evolution at his time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Bhaktivinoda Thakur, I read your analysis of Bhaktivinoda Thakur's essay on the Bhagavad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it is very good essay. I think that you talked at least in that he talks, you analyze how he addresses three things. What are the obstacles that the contemporary mind might find at first is the cosmology and the cosmology and the call and the geography, history, geography, coin history, basically. Then the second is the ethics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's say Krishna dances with other women's wives and something like that. Other men's wives. And then the whole theology aspect itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a pioneer of the study of Sanskrit in some ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in some ways, I think he redefines the terms Kanishtha Madhyama Uttama. I think he does that more in Krishna Samhita than in the Bhagwat they say. But I thought maybe that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those who insist on leading everything literally as the Kanishta. And then he talks about, he places most of the Bhadraloka thinking at the level of Madhyama.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in a sense, he's patting them on the back. Yes, you are better than literalists, but then he says there is a level higher also. And that is the Rasika or the transcendental level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So where it's more of a developing a, developing devotion and experiencing rasa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think that is a frame we could also use for looking at, uh, the, at the, the Shavataras, isn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, there is a relatively influential contemporary thinker, Jordan Peterson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has done a series of talks on psychological significance of biblical tales or biblical stories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, it seems that it's two, two and a half lectures he gives and he, he analyzes everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now I don't remember everything that he says, but I had looked at his talk on the floods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he gives a very interesting significance which could relate with what, what Matsya says. He says that basically there is an existential struggle between humanity and nature that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nature, we often, in today's world, we try to portray nature as good and human culture as destroyed nature. But it's not necessarily like that. That, you know, human culture is often simply an attempt to protect oneself from being destroyed by nature. There are floods and there are droughts and there are earthquakes. So there are times when nature overpowers human beings. And now that may happen because of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is, when nature overpowers humans,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That means he says throughout your life, he doesn't bring God into the picture. And when he's asked whether you believe in God, he, he says the concept of God is so complex that I can't answer this question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what he says is, maybe it's a strategic position because as soon as he brings in God, he will lose a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it could be philosophical also, it is just, but what he says is, throughout your life,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever you have, at every major crossroads in your life, you can either choose to act virtuously, you can act according to your higher nature or you can act according to your lower nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And through each of these choices, you are preparing yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he goes into the specifics of the story of Noah Fark and how unlikely everything was that happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was old and then he got a child and then he was told to go away and build a boat and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Humanity, nature and then by regular good choices, one can access some power higher than oneself or higher even than nature. That is an interesting schema which can be interesting or relevant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there is one thing also we could say that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, science itself or the rational approach, at best, it can be non-theistic. We cannot rationally establish atheism as much as we can't rationally conclusively establish theism. So, we can say that we don't know enough, uh, we don't know enough


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's possible. But I think Richard Dawkins also, when he made those buses, he had put some posters on the buses in UK. So what he had, there probably is no God, stop worrying and enjoy life. So, and he said probably because he's not a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he said, if you draw four quadrants, like God exists and you believe in him. God exists and you don't believe in him. God doesn't exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also the idea of religion leading to various kinds of extremism has come to the fore. So whether religion really helps people to live better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That question has become a little debated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One way I try to differentiate, now this is not a watertight differentiation, but when people talk about religious,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are talking more in terms of say dogmas and rituals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you are supposed to believe and what you are supposed to go through and do often mindlessly and they see both of those as negative. Whereas when they talk about spiritual, they usually talk about either


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Virtues or attitudes like forgiveness, gratitude, open mindedness and then they talk about experiences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bhagavatam is not so much about either dogmas or rituals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is indeed more about the characteristics of sadhu or virtues. Which is any spiritual but not religious kind of person will also appreciate those qualities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the verse you quoted, it is an experience of God, you know, that, that God, so in that sense, positioning bhakti as spiritual is, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So often I say it's bhakti is spiritual and religious, but it's spiritual first because we also have certain practices, but yeah, we could position that as spiritual and we could analyze it. Yes, Maharaj.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, so I was going to make a different point. I just, you mentioned something you can mention. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's interesting, this happened with me in India also once, that I, I maybe,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also did something similar. I said that when you're praying to God for bread, it shows your love for bread, not love for God. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then afterward one devotee came and he said, you know, I had brought a friend of mine. He is, he is from a Christian background. He had come, you know, why do you have to criticize Christianity? And then he said, actually in their tradition, they, he said that they interpret bread in a very broad way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that could be interpreted at different levels also. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so yes Maharaj, so now regarding this, uh, point of, uh, the Rasa being inverted. So it's interesting that, uh, that this among the 10 Adashavataras, if we consider from the point of view of that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Generally, humanity turns towards divinity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Generally because something gets disrupted in a normal way of things. If we are just going through a normal life. Okay, maybe there is some God and I will occasionally worship him. But we don't really turn our heart towards God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe it is a backup plan, but it's not of much interest to me right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we consider the, I think it is a Greek category or two categorization of evil as natural evil and uh, what is it, human evil or it talks about uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the Bhagavatam, this is the, this is the only pastime where it's, where the adversity that is coming, there is no conscious agent behind it. Otherwise each pastime we have some demon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Presented as one person, it's just nature is, the cause of that flood is not mentioned. It's just that flood comes or the devastation


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's striking in parallel. So although Maya is, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although you could say Maya is energy, it's not necessarily equal to women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There it's nature is, the earth is portrayed as a cow and the cow is even


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not just sensually attractive, but it is, you could say, religiously attractive. Yet, it is not giving, uh, the food and in that sense it is, it is harmful. So it's not so much temptation over there, but it's more in the form of tribulation that is coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I would love to discuss that. Maybe it will come in one of the avatars if we get to them. Yeah, but, uh, that's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This idea that in each of the avtaras, there is some kind of disruption of normal life. And Krishna also says that when Dharmasya glani happens, that's when I descend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very much description of Satyavarat, no, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously it seems that after when he starts offering prayers and everything, he recognizes this is the supreme lord. So he is a, he is a devotee. But is there any further description of him? You were talking earlier about the dependence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that also indicates his compassionate or at least considerate nature. And then he went out of his way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a sense, he went through all the trouble to try to protect the fish and then the fish protected him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I am asked this question, I say that we see rationality even in the Bhagavatam. Say for example, when Krishna lifts Govardhan Hill,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that time, after the Vajwasis asked in this whole chapter, the Vajwasis asking, how could Krishna lift it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when he says that actually I was told that Gargamuni had told that he is as good as Narayan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is empowered by Narayan. He is as good as Narayan. And the Vrajivasi will accept it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that means that they don't, they are not naive to accept any story. They also know that there is a rational order to the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, super rational, yes. Yeah, yeah. So in that sense, uh, now there are some cases where, where even ordinary animals seem to be speaking, like Ajendra is composing prayers in Sanskrit and we have the Vanaras speaking in the Ramayan. So in some ways,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The modern approach is that the Mahabharata seems to be much more believable because it doesn't have things like talking animals and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the Vanaras also are said to be an evolved species. Sometimes they compare to monkeys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Focatimology is also something which is sometimes used by our tradition, I think the word Asura is also used in that sense sometimes that, uh, uh, I think the original Asura that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One who enjoys in the body that which breathes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe 2-3 quick points I will mention. So one is that the idea of talking animals doesn't seem to startle anyone in the scriptures as far as we see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's that, okay, they're talking, so there could be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the boundaries between either various species or various levels of reality, like the celestial and the terrestrial and the celestial or between the human and the animals. These boundaries are not that, uh, rigid. They seem to be somewhat porous and animals have human attributes. The gods interact with humans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that seems to be overall characteristic of that universe itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's true. And it seems I think around the 64 qualities of Krishna,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could be different, but I thought if it's in the Gurukul list, then it means that that was a skill that could be learned at that time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good question. Yeah, there's, there are more receptions of affection rather than say reciprocators in conversation or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the monkeys, he doesn't really talk with them. They are there to create fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if you equate, say, sometimes it's said that it was Ram's monkeys, Ram couldn't do anything for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he was poverty stricken, he was exiled, so now Krishna is returning the favour in this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yea, but Ram talks with the monkeys and Krishna doesn't. That's interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then there is also that story, yeaah, sorry, there is that story of Shara and Shuka, they are both talking about Radha and Krishna's glories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bhagavatam begins with the question that, that this fish, why would Jagup Siddham, something like that, why would this Vishnu appear in such a, such a low form. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now I had this question that in the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the hierarchy of, or in the 8.4 million species that are talked about, it seems fish are placed even below the trees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is sometimes used as a rationalization by some people that you can eat fish also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's interesting that Bhagavatam describes that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that hierarchy, which is the lowest species.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is, uh, that indicates in some ways the inclusion is that, that everything is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone is a part of the divine and the divine can manifest anywhere or any form.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's interesting, that's interesting. Often in some ways the bhakti tradition


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Challenges existing hierarchies. Like many of the devotees are born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In lower classes, but this is an example of even God appearing in a lower species.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here you are using condescend not in the negative sense of being a condescending towards someone. It's rather just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems, if we compare it to the know of arc, the know as arc basically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There, there is no such thing as a fish. It's just the ship that is built very big and special species are included in that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That in that case, which saves from calamity, but here it is. It is not so much human effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, so the ship is there and it seems that the ship is held by, to the snout of Matsya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, now is there any significance, like I said, Noah is said to be like a significant progenitor and there is a recreation of a human species from there. Is there something like that for Satyavrath Muni also?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes ma'am. And uh, you know, at the second level of metaphorical or something, I was thinking that this also applies to how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God can manifest in the unlikeliest of ways, even like a inconspicuous way and then he expands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Prabhupada came to America by the date yesterday itself. So Prabhupada's visit to America began with a very


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In conspicuous, he met somebody and he said, Oh, I have a son there and he will sponsor you. And then Prabhupada talked with him and Prabhupada forgot about it completely. Prabhupada did respond. He gave his information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Prabhupada went from place to place and it seemed that this Mr. Adarwal talked with his son and his son sponsored, he had done it for many other sadhus and he thought nobody is going to come. But then the mail came to Prabhupada and then that whole


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that is something which you can, say, carry home. You know that, that Krishna can appearance...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the most unlikeliest of ways. Prabhupada could easily have overlooked. Okay, so many people talk about it, nobody will do anything. And Satyarat could also have overlooked this wish. But then that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Matsya just almost spread all over the universe, all over the world at least.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. And just while you were talking, it struck me that in one sense, initially it was Prabhupada who took care of Skone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking the Krishnakirtan and Krishnakatha to him. So it's also in a sense that in original hierarchy, Satyavara took care of Matsya and then Matsya took care of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's a very broad ranging discussion and so we started by talking about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How we can appreciate the Dasha, the Bhagavatam, especially the Dasha Avataras. You talked about the Yantra.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four perspectives that, the Vedic perspective how the Bhagavatam is the ripened fruit and the Gaudiya perspective how our Aacha is elaborated on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we could talk about the religious or spiritual perspective, how we can see from various traditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we as a, we are individual seekers and we bring our own, uh, conceptions and our own thought process to it. So these are different ways we could appreciate. Then we talked about how in our tradition,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in some ways our discussion went that way. In our tradition, we looked at how Bhakti Sanjeev Thakura equated this with the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's more of a correlation rather than an equation. Then Bhaktirath Thakur talks about various levels. So literal, metaphorical and then rasic or aesthetic. So then there I talked about, you also mentioned about from the other religious perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some similarities that at least a boat is there and there's a flood. So, and I mentioned about how there seems to be this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That nature seems, nature sometimes overwhelms humanity and that's when humanity seeks something higher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you mentioned in the Bhagavatam, nature is shown as both attractive and dangerous. And that parallels the depiction of women also in the Bhagavatam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then there is the idea of human choices or human good choices that come through samskaras.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the Matsya avatar itself, we went into the past time how he grows enormously and there is the inversion of Vatsalya Rasa. At first he is protected and then he protects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is somewhat diff, this is the different, this is the opposite of the way normal God consciousness may go. That God is our protector and then we, then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The small form and expand so like that God can manifest in a diminutive or inconspicuous form. That's what happened to Prabhupada. The small opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that Rasa, the Bhagavatam ultimately entered into through Rasa and we can appreciate how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, just as Prabhupada sheltered his con and Prabhupada was in a sense sheltered by his con on his final day, just like Satyavat Muni was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, did I leave out any points or do you want to add something Maharaj, as conclusion?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think we also laid a lot of groundwork into this session.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we could, uh, make further progress and maybe faster progress also, but we'll see that naturally how it goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What it smells like in here, it smells like bees. It smells like dirty fucking bees. Oh, I gotta put on my bee smell mask. Yeah. Ah, fuck, there's bees! Ah, everywhere! I knew it smelled like bees!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it's all cold and shit. That was gonna open my port.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this video, we're going to understand how to manage a modal repository on the hugging face modal hub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order to handle a repository, you should first have a hugging face account. A link to create a new account is available in the description.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once you're logged in, you can create a new repository by clicking on the New Model option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should be facing a similar model to the following. In the owner input, you can put either your own namespace or any of your organization's namespaces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The model name is the model identifier that will then be used to identify your model on the chosen namespace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The final choice is between public and private. Public models are accessible by anyone. This is the recommended free option as this makes your model easily accessible and shareable. The owners of your namespace are the only ones who can update and change your model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A more advanced option is the private option. In this case, only the owners of your namespace will have visibility over your model. Other users won't know it exists and will not be able to use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once your model is created, comes the management of that model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three tabs are available to you. You're facing the first one, which is the model card page. This is the page used to showcase your model to the world. We'll see how it can be completed in a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second one is the files and versions tab. Your model itself is a Git repository. If you're unaware of what is a Git repository, you can think of it as a folder containing files. If you have never used Git before, we recommend looking at an introduction like the one provided in this video's description.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The git repository allows you to see the changes happening over time in this folder, hence the term versions. We'll see how to add files and versions in a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The final tab is the Settings tab, which allows you to manage your model's visibility and availability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alongside your added file and its content, you should name your change or commit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Generally, adding files is simpler by using the HuggingFaceHubPython library or by using the command line. We'll showcase how to do this using the HuggingFaceHubPython library, and there is a link in the description to the previous version of this video showcasing how to do this using Git and the command line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First, make sure you're logged in to your Hugging Face account, either through the command line, or in a Python runtime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first approach we'll take a look at is using the uploadFile method. This offers an extremely simple API to upload files to the hub. The three required parameters are the current location of the file,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The path of that file in the repository and the idea of the repository to issue pushing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are a few additional parameters. The token parameter, if you would like to specify a different token than the one saved in your cache with your login.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll upload a file called readme.md to the repository using this method. We first start by saving a file with that name, which contains some information about the repository itself. Here, a title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that the file is saved, let's use the uploadFile method to upload it to the hub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we switch to the web interface for a second and refresh the page, we'll see that the readme is shown. The file upload was a success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alongside this method exists a delete file method, so that you may manage your repository fully. We'll use it to delete the file we have just created.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This approach using only these two methods is super simple. It doesn't need Git or Git LFS installed, but it does come with a limitation. The maximum file size one can upload is limited to 5GB.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To overcome this limit, let's take a look at the second method, which is using the repository utility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This class is a wrapper over Git and Git LFS methods, which abstracts most of the complexity and offers a flexible API to manage your online repositories. Let's take a look at how it works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We first start by instantiating the repository utility. We provide the clone from parameter in order to clone the repository we just created.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll start by loading a model and tokenizer I trained a few hours ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll now follow the traditional Git approach by first pulling latest changes using the Git pull method.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just cloned the repository. So unless this is a super active repository, it's unlikely that new changes are available. But it's always a good idea to pull the latest changes before doing anything new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that we have pulled their repository, I'll save the model and tokenizer inside that folder. This includes the model weights, configuration file, and tokenizer files.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that the model is saved, we'll continue with the traditional get approach and push it to the remote repository.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we were using the command line, there are a few GitNFS specific commands we would have to invoke. But here, the Hugging Phase Hub package takes care of all of that. We'll start by staging the files using the git add method. We'll then commit these changes using the git commit method and providing a helpful commit message.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, we'll push the changes to the remote using the getPush() method.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we go back to the files and versions tab, we can now see the newly committed files. We can even play with the model and the inference API.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, the front page of our model is still very empty. Let's add a readme markdown file to complete it a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This readme is known as the model card, and it's arguably as important as the model and tokenizer files in a model repository.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is the central definition and documentation of your model, ensuring reusability by fellow community members and reproducibility of results, providing a platform on which other members may build their artifacts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll only add a title and a small description here for simplicity's sake, but we encourage you to add information relevant to how was the model trained, its intended use and limitations, as well as its identified potential biases, evaluation results, and code samples on how to use your model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great work contributing a model to the model hub. This model can now be used in downstream libraries simply by specifying your model identifier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even when I thought of Estella and how we had parted that day forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when I recalled all the circumstances of our parting and all her looks and tones and the action of her fingers while she knitted,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even then I was pursuing here and there and everywhere the caution, don't go home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When at last I dozed, in sheer exhaustion of mind and body, it became a vast, shadowy verb which I had to conjugate, imperative mood, present tense. Do not thou go home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then potentially I may not and I cannot go home and I might not, could not, would not, and should not go home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until I felt that I was going distracted and rolled over on the pillow and looked at the staring rounds upon the wall again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd left directions that I was to be called at seven, for it was plain that I must see Wemmick before seeing anyone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a relief to get out of the room where the night had been so miserable, and I needed no second knocking at the door to startle me for my uneasy bed. The castle battlements arose upon my view at eight o'clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little servant, happening to be entering the fortress with two hot rolls, I passed through the poster and crossed the drawbridge in her company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so came without announcement into the presence of Whammock as he was making tea for himself and the aged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all right, said he, rubbing his hands. I left a note for you at each of the temple gates on the chance. Which gate did you come to? I told him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll go round to the others in the course of the day and destroy the notes. It's a good rule never to leave documentary evidence if you can help it, because you don't know when it may be put in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to take a liberty with you. Would you mind toasting this sausage for the aged pea? I said I should be delighted to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you can go about your work, Marianne," said Wemmick to the little servant, which leads us to ourselves. Don't you see, Mr. Pip? He added, winking, as she disappeared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thanked him for his friendship and caution, and our discourse proceeded in a low tone while I toasted the aged sausage, and he buttered the crumb of the aged roll.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are in our private and personal capacities and we have been engaged in a confidential transaction before today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Official sentiments are one thing, we are extra official. I cordially assented it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was so very nervous that I had already lighted the aged sausage like a torch and been obliged to blow it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Washington Post reports tonight that the Trump campaign's policy staff has collapsed. One of the people who quit told the Washington Post quote,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a complete disaster. They use and abuse people. The policy office fell apart in August when the promised checks weren't delivered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, fucking hell. Well I didn't expect this story to keep giving. Five minutes of scolding! That's like fucking headmistress level!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turning from the temple gate, as soon as I had read the warning, I made the best of my way to Fleet Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there got a late hackney chariot and drove to the Hummonds in Covent Garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In those times a bed was always to be got there at any hour of the night and the chamberlain letting me in at his ready wicket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lighted the candle next in order on his shelf and showed me straight into the bedroom next in order on his list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a sort of vault on the ground floor, at the back with a despotic monster of a four-post bed-stand in it, straddling over the whole place, putting one of his arbitrary legs into the fireplace, and another into the doorway, and squeezing the wretched little washing-stand in quite a divinely righteous manner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I had asked for a nightlight, the chamberlain had brought me in, before he left me, the good old constitutional rushlight of those virtuous days, an object like the ghost of a walking cane, which instantly broke its back if it were touched.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which nothing could ever be lighted at and which was placed in solitary confinement at the bottom of a high tin tower perforated with round holes that made a staringly wide awake pattern on the walls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I got into bed and lay there, foot sore, weary, and wretched,


[User] Please transcribe this text
