Thread: Have You Helped the Audially Challenged Today?

Yeah, you guessed it! Or maybe you didn't... But in either way, I have more audio files that I need help with. Just as the previous batch, they are from Dr. Phil show, only from a different episode.

As usual, the files are located here: http://translations.nm.ru/files

A bit later, I'll transcribe them and mark the exact places that I have problems with, to save you some typing effort, but if someone is really impatient and wants to start right away, who am I to say that you can't?

Here is the long one.
He over uses the word "like" and he speaks like a total moron.

I would have been less involved in everything, like back home like I was in everything just so I wouldn't like get my ass caught like
I had to be everywhere at once so I couldn't get caught with the lie that I told earlier. Knowing now like i would've kept my distance from people,
like I would've like been close enough to have a relationship but I wouldn't be in their business all the time. That's the main thing i think that i <struggled> with mostly like when my dad says I was between them all the time...

Hehe, I noticed that
And thanks a lot for your help, that... erm... like... really... like... helped. And on reviewing the contexts, I can see that he could very well say "struggled", so most likely you are correct.

and as perpetrators

I feel like I'm at the edge of breakdown

torn apart:
I'm being torn apart like Stretch Armstrong you know

Stretch Armstrong is a toy doll that is made of rubber. You can
pull his arms and legs and he would stretch 3 or 4 times in
length without breaking. A popular toy in the 1970's.

bring_her.mp3
And then <something> said, "No, I want to bring her here, wanna bring her to the show, wanna have her in the building." (I slowed down that really mumbly <something> on my comp, and it sounds kind of like "when you got used to it, you" but I can't swear to to that)

crawl.mp3
"She would crawl into bed with him if we would let her"

mikai.mp3
"Think of it as <mikai?> carrying his bag of *bleep* and it just spread everywhere." (This is what I think I heard, but it doesn't make any sense. Is there some context for this one?)

mikai.mp3
"Think of it as <mikai?> carrying his bag of *bleep* and it just spread everywhere." (This is what I think I heard, but it doesn't make any sense. Is there some context for this one?)

I believe he is saying:
"Think of it as <mikai?> carrying his bag of *bleep* and pissbrick everywhere."

What the heck is "pissbrick"?

I don't know, but I surely don't want any.

This would make sense to me. This is Mikai's father speaking, who believes that his son was responsible for lots of problems in their family. But Tom's version appeals more to me. "Carrying his bag of shit and pissbrick everywhere"—sounds very expressive, doesn't it?

But I could swear I heard "d" instead of "b" in bag....
