Help needed: audio (American English) #1 (permalink) Thu Aug 18, 2011 22:18 pm   Help needed: audio (American English)
 

Hi there! This is my 1st post here. I need some help getting what is being said in this video. The video features Ronnie Coleman, the 8-time Mr. Olympia. I was able to figure out what Ronnie is saying in his monologue, but later on in the video I started having a hard time. They speak so fast and not legibly enough for me to get it. Please help me out. I really need this. Thank you.

These are the parts of the video I can't wrap my mind around, try as I might.

02:42
The guy: You wanna dry up some of this before you can add it to something?
Coleman: I'll do it tomorrow.

04:41
The other guy (G):.......
Coleman (C):Oh yeah.
G:Is that your steak?
C:Yeah. For me.
G:5?
C:Before I drank it (ketchup) like that.
G:Yeah, you probably need (?) it.
C:.... this morning, huh?
G:Yeah
C:Who wouldn't (?) ? Profiling (?) ? I used to work there.
G:....with Denny's

G:...great. That's why you liked it (?) That's why you ... never go back (?)
C:No, no... no more

G:This is what you're thinking of. This...unit (?). You'd be like this.
C:Oh yeah.
G:You can't even get out of this thing.... This is just like the belly (?)....You get in it (?).

G:Where did you grow up again?
C:Bastrop, Louisiana.
G:When did you get here (?) ?
C:...I graduated college in '87.
I graduated in December '86. ...my roommate ...that I lived with, he had a job here (?). I didn't have one. So I just figured out I follow him before I find one. I... but I will. I've been there for 23 years.
G:Louisiana?
C:Uh-huh. ...10 000 people in my hometown.
G:Really?

G:What made you 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. So...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 is later. Great (?) ....over there. .....
G:Where is that?
C:Worked security. Miami.
G:Miami?
C:No. Orlando, Orlando. Yeah. Orlando.

G:Did you have any passports when you got (?) through?
C:Man!
G:You collect them?
C:No. They ... last for 10 years. Man, but I ran out. I ran out of ... stamp right in the middle of it. I was in South Africa, matter of fact. And everybody: "Man...." I'm like: "What?"
G:... you can't go.
C:I'm getting ready to get on the plane.
G:...story?
C:3 years ago.
G:3 years ago.
C:Yeah. I'm like: "What do you mean I can't go?" They are like: "You can't go. You got no stamp". So I'm like: "What do I need to do?" They say: "You gotta need some more patience (?) 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.

If you feel like doing this for me, you can just fill in the blanks as you go through the video. I appreciate any input on this. Thank you.
