Correct Transcript:

It's actually even like somebody has just written a paper where they looked at the reason for volunteering is something that has been associated with longevity and the preventional of dementia, for example. But when you look at why people volunteer, it turns out that the mortality benefit is only there, and people who volunteer for altruistic reasons, people who volunteer because they think it will make them healthier or happier, or make them feel better about themselves. They actually have no mortality benefit whatsoever. So even when you volunteer or you're a caregiver, if you do it in a sort of selfish, resentful way, you actually don't reap the health benefits from that activity. So yeah, I think altruism and empathy really Trump's all when it comes to health. True God's watching!

Printed "daunted", the speaker says "looked"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "they looked at the". The page shows "daunted" instead, not what you hear. The first letters differ, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "presence", the speaker says "preventional"

Explanation: The speaker says "the preventional of dementia", not "presence". You see "presence" on the page, but the audio has a different word. Both start with p, so listen to the rest.

Printed "rates", the speaker says "reasons"

Explanation: Listen for "volunteer for altruistic reasons". You see "rates" printed, which is not in the audio. Both words start with r, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "mere", the speaker says "mortality"

Explanation: You will hear "no mortality benefit whatsoever". The page shows "mere" instead of what the speaker says. The spoken word is much longer than the printed one.

Printed "selflessness", the speaker says "selfish"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "in a sort of selfish". The printed word "selflessness" appears on the page, not in the audio. Both start with s, so listen to the end.

Printed "honesty", the speaker says "empathy"

Explanation: Listen again to "altruism and empathy really". You see "honesty" printed, but the speaker says a different word. The first letters differ, so trust your ears.

Printed "No", the speaker says "True"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "True God's watching". The page has "No" instead, not the spoken word. The words start with different letters, so the sound tells you.

"volunteer" matches the audio

Explanation: "why people volunteer, it turns" looks like it might be changed, but the speaker says it exactly. Do not click it.
