Another passport". Man, come on! I went back home. ....I went to the Post Office and ...... "Why don't you go to Houston and ... right there. So I jump on another plane to Houston (laughing). And I went straight to the Post Office. They didn't make it (?) .... police officer...today. Oh yeah! We normally don't but we'll do for you. They gave me a brand new one right there.

That's your steak
Not many..
Five?
Y'all went to IHOP this morning eh? You have any trouble finding it
(break in the tape)
I used to work there
At IHOP or Denny's?
Yeah Denny's, security, back in '90 or '91. only there for two years.
Do you still know anyone there, managers, anyone?
I ain't been over there since. My last time was '91 when I worked there. I was working there when I was getting ready for the Universe. Believe it or not, eating pancakes back every night.
That's why you don't work there that's why you never want to go back? no more pancakes?
No, no, I can't do that no more.

This is what you're looking at, this is, you'd be like this, you can't even get out of this
your are right there. This sits just like the Bentley when you get in it.

G:Where did you grow up again?
C:Bastrop, Louisiana.
G:When did you get here (?) ?
C: when I graduated college in '87.
I graduated in December '86. a boy of mine, my roommate actually, that I grew up with, he had a job here (?). I didn't have one. So I just figured out I follow him before I find one. I... I didn't want to stay where I was, I'd been there for 23 years.
G:Louisiana?
C:Uh-huh. ...we only have 15 000 people in my hometown.
G:Really?

G:What made you want to become a police officer?
C:I needed the job.
G:(laughing)
C:I worked for Domino's for 2 years. I'd work anywhere (?). Delivering pizza. fresh out of college. (laughing). Domino's, the Police Department, and Denny's.
I worked security for Mr. Olympia. 1990? When Lee Haney won. No. 1991. When Lee Haney won it, record breaker.
G:Where is that?
C:Worked security. Miami.
G:Miami?
C:No. Orlando, Orlando. Yeah. Orlando.

G:How many passports have you gone through?
C: oh man!
G:You collect them?
C:No. They ... last for 10 years. but mine ran out. I ran out of places to stamp right in the middle. I was going to South Africa, matter of fact. And they was like, 'There's nowhere to stamp.' I'm like, 'What?' They're like, 'Yeah, you can't go.' And I was getting ready to get on the plane.
G: That was last year right?
C: 3 years ago. What do you mean I can't go? They said we got nowhere to stamp, so I said, what do I gotta do?
They said you gotta get some more pages, get another passport. I had to come all the way home I went to the post office and they said well if you go to Houston they can fix you one right there
so I jumped on another plane go to Houston, and went straight to the passport office where they make em, I was talking about how I'm a police officer, all this kinda stuff, they're like, 'we don't normally do this, but we'll do it for you.' and they gave me a brand new one right there.

Francis Fanon, your help has been invaluable to me. I don't know how you were able to get this when so many native speakers weren't! I hope you'll be making hundreds of thousands of dollars using your talent! Thank you so much! Cheers!
Thanks to anybody who tried.

I live in Canada, so the American accent is not so difficult for me. If it was someone from England or Scotland, I wouldn't be able to. As for making 000's of dollars, no not yet :-)

Didn't know there was that much money in transcribing videos? Maybe I should look into a new line of work...
