1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Native Lampard is a production of iHeartRadio in partnership with

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: Reason Choice Media. So we also have seen a lot

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: of new swirling around Nolan Wells the tragic death of

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: Nolan Wells. I got to see his family, Garrison enjoy

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: at the NAACP. But I think we should get into

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: like everything that's swirling around online and what we actually

7
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: know versus what we don't.

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. So it's a lot of

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: conversation online right now.

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 3: You know.

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: One of the things that I love to see over

12
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: the weekend was so many people just posting the name

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: Nolan Wells, like we're not letting this fade away, And

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: I think that's so important, So I'm glad we're talking

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: about it. Audio engineer Janetta Brantley did some engineering on

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: a phone call that was made to Cetoe by some

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: of Nolan Well's alleged friends. She did some cleanup on

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: that audio so that you can kind of make out

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: a little bit of what was being discussed in the background,

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: and it is sparking a lot of conversation. There's also

21
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 2: been reports coming out of TMZ and other sources about

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: Nolan well saying that he was drinking quote unquote heavily

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: on the island, and that's been a part of the.

24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 4: Discussion prosecuting him after his death.

25
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: So yeah, let's let's talk about that. Angela.

26
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 4: Well, I think that one. I do think we should

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:23,919
Speaker 4: listen to this audio.

28
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: But I think regardless of if he was drinking or not,

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: those boys were all sitting in a picture with beer,

30
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: all of them are drinking. If you listen to this audio,

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: which I know we're going to do shortly, you the dude,

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: the young man sounds like he's inebriated, you know.

33
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 4: So it's just like, why are we talking about him.

34
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 4: He died.

35
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: However he died is tragic and it is not his

36
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: fault because he was drinking, right, and like all of

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: them doing.

38
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 4: The same thing. It just irks me that we always

39
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 4: are having to.

40
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: Talk about what we did wrong that would have earned

41
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: our death, and that is frustrating to me as a black.

42
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: Should we listen to this audio really quick? Let's play that?

43
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 5: Okay, So before I play this, I want to quickly

44
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 5: explain what I did, what you're looking at on the screen,

45
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 5: and why I chose to approach this audio the way

46
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 5: that I did as a professional audio engineer with experience

47
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 5: and dialogue editing, dialogue cleanup, sound design, and post production.

48
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 5: I decided to work on that see toe call using

49
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 5: traditional audio processing techniques rather than relying on any AI

50
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 5: voice separation or AI enhancement. My goal was pretty much

51
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 5: to preserve as much of the original recording as possible

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 5: while making the quieter dialogue and background audio easier to hear.

53
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 5: And I specifically chose not to rely on AI because

54
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 5: aggressive AI enhancements and voice isolation tools can sometimes introduce

55
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 5: artifacts and distort the speech or create ambiguity around the

56
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 5: sounds that were originally present, and for some in this series,

57
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 5: I wanted my processing to remain as conservative as possible.

58
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 5: For this first video, I'm sharing only approximately thirty seven

59
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 5: seconds of the call. I originally intended to continue much further,

60
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 5: but once I separated the dispatcher from the boat and

61
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 5: started concentrating exclusively on the background dialogue, what I believed

62
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 5: I was hearing became extremely difficult for me to process emotionally,

63
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 5: and I needed to take a mental break. And so

64
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 5: I'm gonna let the audio play read my transcription if

65
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 5: you want a reference, but don't allow it to determine

66
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 5: what you hear. I want you to listen first, listen again,

67
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 5: compare it with the original recording, and then judge it

68
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 5: with your own ears.

69
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: Okay, oh my god, Hey, we're with the West Tip

70
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 4: of Porn and our village stopped working. We're going, we're.

71
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: Thinking, can you all please?

72
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: Can we have them?

73
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 5: Ever? Should?

74
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: Oh?

75
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: Look the fuck up? I believe that's it. So that

76
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 3: was the audio.

77
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how she could hear it. Like

78
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: for me, all I heard them say was, oh my god,

79
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: that's the clearest thing I heard before he started yelling

80
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: shut the f up at people. But the rest of

81
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: that I can't make anything out. I know she had

82
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: a transcript that she put on the side. I love

83
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: to hear with you.

84
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: I think I could just be hard of hearing, but

85
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: I can't. I can't understand.

86
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 6: I will tell you I wish that she hadn't put

87
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 6: the transcript to it, to be honest, because I you know,

88
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 6: we played that same audio. We downloaded it from w

89
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 6: l o X, which was the local Mississippi station that

90
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 6: got the audio first, and so a lot of us

91
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 6: downloaded that audio. We had our audio guy go through

92
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 6: it without AI and just clean it up. As an

93
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 6: audio expert, we did the same thing, and we played

94
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 6: it for Frank Fink Glusey, who's a former FBI assistant director,

95
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 6: and for a Reva Martin, and for Dina dol two attorneys,

96
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 6: and we played it for them without a transcript and

97
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 6: without telling them what they were going to hear, because

98
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 6: I think when you see the words under you hear

99
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 6: the words because your brain tells you that what you're

100
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 6: reading is what you're hearing. And when I first heard

101
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 6: this audio and this cleaned up audio that this sister did,

102
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 6: and God bless her for trying to help with this case,

103
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 6: I was reading the audio and so I now cannot

104
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 6: unhear the words that she's saying. I hear every single thing.

105
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 6: He's dead. They killed him, barred, Shut the f up?

106
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 6: Is he really dead? I hear all of it, but

107
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 6: I'm now not sure I trust my own mind because

108
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 6: I feel like the transcript and me knowing what I

109
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 6: was going to hear influence me. We played this for

110
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 6: our staff. No one on my staff heard what I heard.

111
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 6: I'm the only one who seems to have heard it.

112
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 6: So I think this is playing with our emotions and

113
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 6: our brain At this point, we need a Frank Faglusey

114
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 6: did say this, the FBI if we had a real

115
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 6: FBI cash Fortell ass need to get this audio. And

116
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 6: they have much more powerful equipment than that sister, who's

117
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 6: a Hollywood editor has. We need to have a real

118
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 6: cleanup of this audio. And I'm gonna say one last thing,

119
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 6: and this is maybe some aterism Black folks, since we

120
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 6: home we own, can we stop acting like Nancy Grace's

121
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 6: presence suddenly solves the crime that lady is not the FBI.

122
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: Child the way that people say Nancy Grays crazy ass

123
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: on the case, now we're gonna solve it.

124
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 6: I'm over come on, let's stop with that.

125
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: But anyway, didn't she play didn't she play audio that

126
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: also hasn't been authenticated on her?

127
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 6: She then yes, She then took that same cleaned up audio.

128
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 6: She further cleaned it up to make it almost crystal

129
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 6: clear that you're hearing those words. But I'm like, who

130
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 6: did that? What is the authentication of that? And are

131
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 6: you gaslighting us with giving us what we want to

132
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 6: believe in here? Because people don't trust them white boys.

133
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 6: So I'm like, don't do that, because number one, You're

134
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 6: setting a lot of content creators up to say things

135
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 6: into camera that may not be true. We do not

136
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 6: know what happened to this child. We all want to

137
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 6: know that mama deserves answers, but this is not giving

138
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 6: her answers or comfort. What this is doing is sending

139
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 6: all of us down a path that may turn out

140
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 6: not to be true. So I do not trust their

141
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 6: story either. There are millions of holes in these stories.

142
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 6: I think giving that interview to uh, the black cap,

143
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 6: black copper copper, we have whatever his name is, I

144
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 6: keep saying his name is Officer Remis, and.

145
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 4: I don't know why I can't.

146
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 6: I want to call him, my mind tells me because

147
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 6: I got menopause, I've be calling him uncle Remus or Ruckus.

148
00:07:46,440 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: Or nearest who knows, who knows at this point or Thomas.
