1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Is it just me, which it may well be. Is

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: it just me? Or even this time of year when

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: you know some of the main teams of our focus.

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: Now I'm not talking about Indiana and Purdue basketball, which

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: obviously played this week. But is it just me? Or

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: are the weeks flying past? Which is not a bad thing.

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I think they're going by a

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: little quicker, That's what I mean. Yeah, now, I agree

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: with you. I have not said this. This is the

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: longest that I've gone without complaining of this and probably

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: the previous fifty two years that I've been on the planet.

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: And I'm very proud of this, but that I managed

13
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: to go this long without complaining in this regard. But Eddie,

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: do we have the hallelujah? By chance? The huh llelujah?

15
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: Do we have the hallelujah? Sounder? The rejoice sound? Next?

16
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: See one another? January will be done. We are at

17
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: the tail end. We can see the checkered flag on

18
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: the month of January, which is the longest, most drab

19
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: month of the year. And the weather hasn't been terrible,

20
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: I get it right, But it's been kind of a

21
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: yo yo month in the world of sports. Around here. Yes, forever,

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: we will talk about the fact that this January was

23
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: the year that we saw the impossible, you know, to

24
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: quote Vin Scully, in the year of the improbable. The

25
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: impossible has happened when Indiana wins the National Championship college football.

26
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: But outside of that, you know the Colts, you know

27
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: that your NFL team is stuck in a rut when

28
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: really the only topic of conversation is about who's going

29
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: to be their quarterback and which coach potentially leaves to

30
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: go to another opportunity, And that's been kind of the

31
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: storyline revolving around the Colts. Now, yes, we'll get into

32
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: as we get closer to it. With the draft, and

33
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: of course there's no first round pick, right but what

34
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: can they do in the later rounds? And then with

35
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: free agency because free agency is going to be interesting

36
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: for them because they have some decisions to make. And then,

37
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: of course, on the NBA side of things, you have

38
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: the aspect or the factor that the Pacers are. Again

39
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: I talked about it yesterday. It is kind of bizarre,

40
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: and I'm appreciative of it or grateful for the fact

41
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: that there have been years in the past where the

42
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: Pacers have had struggles and literally they are completely out

43
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: of sight, out of mind, and off the radar altogether.

44
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: And there have been years, I mean, I'm thinking of

45
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: the you know, right after the brawl, for example, there

46
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: have been years where it was like, man, you know,

47
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: did the Pacers play last night? And totally out of sight,

48
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: out of mind. They are having a historically by Indiana

49
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: standards bad season in the win loss category, but yet

50
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: it does still feel like I mean, I still see

51
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: people and people will say like, you know, hey, can

52
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: you get Pacer tickets?

53
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: This?

54
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: And that It's still a thing. Maybe I'm living esoterically

55
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: within my own bubble, but I think it's it's because, Eddie,

56
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: as we've talked about, I think people realize and there's

57
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: been enough body of work evidence now to know that

58
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: there is still optimism and excitement because we know tangibly

59
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: of what they're going to be theoretically when everyone's back.

60
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: The one thing about this season that I think we've

61
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: learned more and I know this is not going to

62
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: be a popular opinion. Eddie, you can feel free to

63
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: disagree with me on this because you're wearing your zoom

64
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: Baby shirt and you are the producer for the Pacers

65
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: radio broadcasts. Okay, the departure and the method of the

66
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: departure were not popular. I get it with Miles Turner,

67
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: but I also think even though he is not exactly

68
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: setting the world a fire in Milwaukee, at least, I

69
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: don't think he. I think he's basically the same player

70
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: he was here, maybe even reduced a little bit. And

71
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: clearly that thing has taken on water and it's a

72
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: disaster up in Milwaukee. But having said that, I do

73
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: think that we can appreciate and I don't mean appreciate

74
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: like two four six eight, who do we appreciate? I

75
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: just we can appreciate, like we can recognize that he

76
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: did and does bring a skill set to a game

77
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: that was critically important to the way Indiana wanted to play.

78
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: And now as we are looking at it in anticipation

79
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: with the trade deadline coming up, what Thursday of next week? Yes,

80
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: I believe so. Yeah. So with the trade deadline approaching

81
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: in the NBA, theoretically that's where you're going to get

82
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: the Miles Turner full time replacement for two reasons, the

83
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: first being the center position is one that requires the

84
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: most acclimation in the NBA, especially the center position the

85
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: way the Indiana Pacers want it played and in the

86
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: system we saw a year ago. And I've mentioned this before,

87
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: but Miles Turner is a rim protector that we know,

88
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: and Miles Turner a lot of what Indiana wanted to do,

89
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: especially when they first started playing with the uptempo with Halliburton,

90
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: is having Turner protect the rim and then facilitate for

91
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: transition going the other way. And he would be the

92
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: trailer coming down and he would hit threes. If they

93
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: come down and they didn't get something in transition right away, boom,

94
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: you back it out, and then he can hit a

95
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: three as he's trailing at the end. If that three's

96
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: not open, then he's up at the high post and

97
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: he begins that weave that they run. And he did

98
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: it very very well, probably almost to the point of

99
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: like underappreciated how well he was able to orchestrate that.

100
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: And so that the cerebral nature of that, the cohesive

101
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: nature of the way that this offense and the Indiana

102
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: Pacers require their center to be kind of that. Like

103
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: I talk about that backyard sprinkler spreading the ball around

104
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: from the high post, Miles Turner did that very well,

105
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: and when you get a player that you are asking

106
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: to do that, it's going to have to be somebody

107
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: who has a little bit of experience in the league,

108
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: no matter how gifted they are coming out of college.

109
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: And so therefore a veteran is what you need at

110
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: that position. And Benedict Mathern, who's a wonderful player, what

111
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: he brings to the table an isolation set scorer that is,

112
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying Matherin's not part of their offense,

113
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: but Matheren again is the one part of their offense

114
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 1: that they can go to when the offense isn't running.

115
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: Matherens the one guy that they can say, Okay, who

116
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: can we just use in isolation? Ben Mathern. So when

117
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: they do that, that is a position that is easier

118
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: I think replicated by somebody in a plug and play

119
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: situation of I know you were just playing last year

120
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: at Kansas, I know you were just playing last year

121
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: at BYU, I know you were just playing last year

122
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: at Duke. To put you in this spot and when

123
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: the ball comes over to you is so and do

124
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: your thing. That's that is a quicker study. And that's

125
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: why it would seem as though the center position, you're

126
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: going to have to go out and get through free agency.

127
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: But the point that I was going to make here,

128
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: Eddie is I think we've now learned that the players

129
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: that can do what Miles Turner did to the level

130
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: of effectiveness that Turner did. While we can be upset

131
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: about the reasoning and the way and the fashion in

132
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: which he left, the reality is he did leave a

133
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: void that leaves you a very finite selection of people

134
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: that you can go out and get to replicate it.

135
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean, there's not many other bigs out there

136
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: that can do what Turner did for the Pacers. And

137
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: if you're thinking about it, well, there's juellenb There's Nicola

138
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: Yolkicch Like those guys are different, Like they they are

139
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 3: the superstar you run the offense around and run it through,

140
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: not the guy that you know helps facilitate the offense.

141
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 3: And so when you look at it, it's like, Okay,

142
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: that's a very hard thing to replicate.

143
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: Is there anybody out.

144
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 3: There who can you know, is young that has that

145
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: kind of skill set that can do that, or is

146
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: there somebody out there who you can find that is

147
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: a really really solid defensive player who can play above

148
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: the room, who can protect the paint, and who can rebound.

149
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: So like that are the those are.

150
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: Essentially the two options that the Pacers have with how

151
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 3: they want to approach the center position.

152
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: And a guy that I really like, Jake is a

153
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: guy that.

154
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 3: Is going to be playing a Gambridge field House tomorrow

155
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: on Yaka Konglu with Atlanta as somebody who I think

156
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: makes the most sense for the Pacers because the last

157
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: year and a half he's been, you know, a thirty

158
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: five percent three point shooter and it's a relatively new

159
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 3: part of his game that he's starting to develop and

160
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: he's taking more threes this year than he has an

161
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 3: eighty other point of his career. He's a very good defender,

162
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 3: he's very athletic and mobile, he can rebound. So like

163
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: the question is going to be does Atlena want to

164
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: move off of him? I know they've recently inserted him

165
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 3: into the starting lineup and so that's a big question there.

166
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 3: I know of Eatsa Zubats with the Clippers has been

167
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 3: linked to the Pacers. Daniel Gaffer with the Mavericks, Like

168
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 3: they have a lot of different options, and optionality is

169
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 3: a word that you know, Kevin Pritchard likes to use

170
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 3: So it'll be a fascinating next six days for the Pacers.

171
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: Could they go if you get Tyrese Haliburton back, and

172
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: you get Obi Topping back, and you've got Nie Smith,

173
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: You've got Nim Hard And let's say that you decide

174
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: to keep matherin. Could they go as is next year

175
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: and have Jay Hup as their starting center? No, now

176
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: that you did not even hesitate on that. Yeah, I

177
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: did not hesitate because you don't trust him for full

178
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: defensively or offensively or both both. Like I don't know

179
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: what I'm getting from Jay Hoof on a night tonight

180
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: basis that is fair, And then that's why I would

181
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: threes to start the game that we know, right.

182
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, uh, he was out of the rotation there

183
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: for a couple of games, and then he plays like

184
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: twenty four minutes the other night in the return home

185
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: after the after the road trip. It's just like it's

186
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 3: very hard to predict what you're gonna get from Jay Hill.

187
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: What's fun about Jay Huff? Yeah, he dunks like the

188
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: players in Double Dribble.

189
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 3: Also, he's got one of the word like he is

190
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 3: really his hands are awful, like he he cannot catch

191
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 3: any passes in traffic, like he's gonna fumble it.

192
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: Did you ever play Double Dribble? Probably a little before

193
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: your time, right, Uh? Can you elaborate about Uh? Double

194
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: Dribble was a Nintendo game, and when it came out,

195
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: it was all the rage because if you now with

196
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: Double Dribble, and again when you'd start it, when you

197
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: would start Double Dribble, you'd just be playing a regular game.

198
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: But if you if you got into a certain spot

199
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: and you went up for a dunk, it then went

200
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: away from the game and it showed like the isolation

201
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: of a player dunking, and they all dunked like Jay Huff.

202
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: It was pretty awesome. Now didn't have this, no, but

203
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: they had the same narrator, the narrator of that which,

204
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: of course yes, that same person. They had the same ability. See,

205
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: if you can find Double Dribble, it's got to be

206
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: on there on the Tube of Views, it's got to

207
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: be on there, the Double Dribble. But Jay Huff dunks

208
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: like those guys on Double Dribble used to dunk. That

209
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: part is cool because it would just blow you away.

210
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: You're like, oh my gosh, I got the reverse one

211
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: to eighty dunk awesome, and we thought the graphics were unbelievable.

212
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: I mean it was completely captivating. And when I was

213
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: in college, we actually had a league of everybody on

214
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: my dorm floor. We played a season of Double Dribble

215
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: and a season of Tech Bbowle uh And when we

216
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: played the Double Dble. When we played that, there was

217
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: a guy on my floor that figured out a glitch

218
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: in the system where he could steal inbound passes and

219
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: hit threes and he beat me one hundred and eighty

220
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: two to nothing in a game. Okay, one more time. Okay,

221
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: now can we compare that. That's a guy and his

222
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: wife was the narrator for the pole position, right, is

223
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: that right? And then he would he would say what

224
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: after that? Okay, yeah, okay, that's that's later in the

225
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: evening after they met right there. At any rate, the

226
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: the the Pacers and Atlanta coming up, and We're actually

227
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: going to talk to somebody from Atlanta because I'd like

228
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: to know a little bit more about uh yeak a Kng.

229
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: I have a hard time saying his name, and yek

230
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: kan Wu, I mean, he's a great player. I followed

231
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: him I mean he played at USC on Yeka on

232
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: yeke on Yika and Yaka a conglu a congo wu

233
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: on Yaka a conglu a congo is what I'll say.

234
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: And I don't mean to make fun of his name.

235
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: It's the I mean, there are certain names that I

236
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: trip over, as you know. But when he came out

237
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: of USC, I mean, he was a top ten pick.

238
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: Was he not Eddie? He was a lottery pick and

239
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: it was only five years ago and he has developed.

240
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: So that leads to the question of why would Atlanta

241
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: make him available.

242
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: They're in this spot, Jake, where it's like they're teetering

243
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: on playing.

244
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: And they've always been in that spot, right exactly exactly. Yeah.

245
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: So it's just like, are the Atlanta Hawks the last

246
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: ten years the Indianapolis Colts of the NBA. They had

247
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: kind of a year where they surged into the Eastern

248
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: Conference Finals and everybody got excited, and then they came

249
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: back right after that and kind of never followed through.

250
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: And they had one big player that everybody was excited

251
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: about didn't work out even though he was had a

252
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: lot of talent.

253
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: He was the sixth pick in the twenty twenty draft.

254
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 3: He's twenty five, man, that'd be nice. He just turned

255
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: twenty five last month too. And yaka I guess and

256
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 3: yakka a khan Wu. Yes, there you go. He's a

257
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: day to day he's I don't know if he's gonna

258
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: play tomorrow or now.

259
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if he saw this.

260
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: He lost three teeth, he had a tooth purse. Yeah,

261
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 3: he lost three teeth in there. Uh went at Boston

262
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: on Wednesday?

263
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: Did they find them? They did?

264
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 4: Yeah?

265
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: Okay, you know Vern Fleming had that happen. Vern Fleming

266
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: was driving the lane against Shack once and that all

267
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: his teeth knocked out. No, thanks, not good. Also, the

268
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: Colts have the Colt's phone has been ringing, right. I

269
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: don't know that we discussed this yesterday, but this to

270
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: me is peculiar. And Eddie, I think you actually figured

271
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: out the reasoning. But Jim Bob Cooter, the greatest name

272
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: in all of sports who is a well and has

273
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: been a well respected coach other than Bismack Biyambo. Uh,

274
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: excellent point, excellent point. No, Bismack Biambo just happens to

275
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: be my favorite player. You know why he's my favorite

276
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: player because his name is Bismack Biambo. That's good point.

277
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: But Jim Bob Cooter is pretty hard to beat, right,

278
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: I mean he Jim Bob Cooter does sound like he

279
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: would be an auxiliary character in the water Boy. I mean,

280
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that. But he is a well

281
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: respected coach to the point now where both two teams

282
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: in the NFC East, Philadelphia and the New York Giants

283
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: both have interviewed him, apparently for the offensive coordinator position,

284
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: which is the exact same title that he holds with

285
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: the Colts. So the question then becomes, why would the

286
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator of the Indianapolis Colts and does it signal?

287
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: And before we get to the answer here, you think

288
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: to yourself when you see the headline, Okay, wait a minute,

289
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: the guy is the OC for Indianapolis and would be

290
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: interested in talking to Philadelphia or the New York Giants

291
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: about that same position. And then you think about it,

292
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, where's your money going to go further? Indianapolis, Indiana,

293
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: Philadelphia or New York. Well, Indianapolis, it goes a little

294
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: further because why not Indiana? Why wouldn't you want to

295
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: live here? Right? How about the weather, itself. Well, the

296
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: weather outside little frightful, not great in Indianapolis. But then

297
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: you look at it. Every single game you've ever watched

298
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: after Halloween that is in Philadelphia or in New York

299
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: with the Giants is forty in raining. Ugh Right. Nothing

300
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: says depression on a Sunday night like the end of

301
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: some NFC East game between the Commanders and the Giants

302
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: in New Jersey or the Cowboys and Eagles in Philly.

303
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: It's dark by like three point thirty in the afternoon,

304
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: and it's this misty rain, and it's an acid rain, nonetheless,

305
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: And I do love Philadelphia and I do love New York,

306
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: by the way, both as cities. But you get my drift, now, Eddie,

307
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: you cracked. What if I didn't get your drift and

308
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: then you'd be stuck right there without a current to

309
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: sweep you down the river. You actually gave me because

310
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: I said, why I asked that question when I came in.

311
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 1: Why would you go for a lateral movement from one

312
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: franchise to the next. I'm gonna ask you this, would

313
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: you also?

314
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 3: Like Number one, obviously for Jim Bobkruter would be if

315
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 3: he's leaving the Colts for another OC job it would

316
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 3: be to call play somewhere because he's not doing that here.

317
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 5: That's it.

318
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: The other part that just hit me that I did

319
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 3: not tell you job security, Like if you leave now,

320
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 3: you're probably gonna stay your next team for what three years?

321
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 3: Where right now you know you don't know if you're

322
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: gonna have a job at this point next season.

323
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Philadelphia probably has a slightly less security

324
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: than New York because New York obviously just made a

325
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: new hire.

326
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that whole situation where Philly was fascinating to me,

327
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: like obviously there were people out there, candidates wise that

328
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 3: did not want to either a work with Nick Siir,

329
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 3: Janni b Jalen Hurts, c AJ Brown or d all

330
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 3: the above.

331
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: Right, but I did, Yes, excellent point. Now we know

332
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: in terms of And the other thing is this with

333
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: Shane Steichen, very good offensive mind calls the plays and

334
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,959
Speaker 1: there has been discussion that perhaps it is time to

335
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: relinquish that respesibility. It is difficult for a head coach

336
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: to have play calling responsibility, I think during the course

337
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: of a game because they have so many other things

338
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: that they need to be monitoring. And one thing you

339
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: can say about Shane Stikeen. This point was made to

340
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: me yesterday, Eddie. I'm cruising along mine in my own business,

341
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: just a dude walking the street, even though it was

342
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: chilly outside, just getting in my steps right, just like

343
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: they say in What's the Story Morning Glory? Just walking along,

344
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: listening to the sounds of my favorite tune, and I

345
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: got the the AirPods in. I'm walking and all of

346
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: a sudden, my music and my tune gets interrupted by

347
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: the buzz of the fact that I've got a message

348
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: on my phone. And I look down. Well after we

349
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: were on the area yesterday, and I look down and

350
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: there's the message. Jake, have you ever noticed that Shane

351
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: Stikeen speaks in QR Okay, okay, we're not doing this again,

352
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: speaks in code, and I'm like, you know what, I

353
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: knew it. I knew it took off. The six seven

354
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: is so yesterday, and all the kids now are saying,

355
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: you are and it started right here. No, you're part

356
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: of a movement and you're part of a revolution. No

357
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: well no, nope. Like I said, either get the drift

358
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 1: or be stuck in the river. But channel, this channel's

359
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: moving towards progress.

360
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 3: Why would you say we're not talking morse then, and

361
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 3: you can make an acronym out of it.

362
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: What is this nineteen movies? Like outside of G I.

363
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 3: Joe restaurants, sports, entertainment or education. There you got we're

364
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 3: talking morse now.

365
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: You that's that's G I Joe stuff. No, I don't

366
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: think it is.

367
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 4: What do you?

368
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean you're getting messages about it. You can also

369
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: say we're talking to Okay, that's fine, but see and again,

370
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: and I applaud the effort here, but it's not trendy

371
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: and catchy. Neither is are Oh No, QR is just

372
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: like it's q are is the alphabetic cousin of the

373
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: six seven because numerically six seven goes in order, and

374
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: so too do his QR, and QR is a little

375
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: more little more like q R. You have to say

376
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: it afterwards because it's just like the six seven. You know,

377
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: you got to say them in order. But the kids, Eddie,

378
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm not the one. I'm I can set say something

379
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: that becomes a trend, but I'm not the one that

380
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: decides whether or not it takes off or not. I

381
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: just you're the one who's trying to get it to

382
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: take off. No, there's no trying to Here's what I did, Okay.

383
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: I laid down the Q, which was like a little

384
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: pile of brush. I laid down the R, which was

385
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: like a Zippo lighter. It's the kids that came and

386
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: hit the flint and then brush fire. It's off like

387
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: a brushfire. I just simply introduced it. The kids took

388
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: off with it. And again, I mean, I get it.

389
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: No offense. You're not his hip and trendy with what

390
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: the kids want, So I get it. I mean, no offense.

391
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: It's cool. But Shane Psychin does speak in code? Does

392
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: he not speaks in the q R? Mister Garrison, please

393
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: make it stop. Who's that from? That's from Nick? And

394
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: I'll bet I'll bet Nick's over forty five, isn't he.

395
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: We're young, We're young in the audience. Is what we're doing.

396
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: I don't know the age of Nick.

397
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: Okay, James texted and oh goodness, here we go again

398
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 3: with this q R.

399
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: See who said that I was from James on the

400
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: text line? Yeah yeah, Jay.

401
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 3: Listen, now this guy is automatically thrown out because he

402
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 3: hears the same last name as you.

403
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: He said, QR rocks. Yes, thank you can. I nope,

404
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: thrown out share the same last name. Yesterday when we

405
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: were talking about and I'm trying to think of what player, oh,

406
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: Johnny Furfey. We were discussing Johnny Furfey's defense for the

407
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: Pacers and his ability to defend, especially late in the game.

408
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: He you know, he was very effective late in the

409
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: game for the Pacers against Chicago. Right, and what area

410
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: of his body did Tony East happen to point out

411
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: that Johnny Furfey was very effective in utilizing defensively. I

412
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: think he said actually that one of his defensive abilities

413
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: is able to get into kind of the body of

414
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: the opponent by using and utilizing his hips. Right. Sure, Okay,

415
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get you to utilize your hip, okay,

416
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: And it's not easy. It's not an easy task. But

417
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: the lingo that you can come up with, Eddie, when

418
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna be walking the streets and people are gonna

419
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: say that guy there hip and then other people, people

420
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: that understand the show and know the show are going

421
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: to understand what they mean by the fact your hip

422
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: because they're going to be down with the qr Q

423
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: are That's it. I'm not going to Harbor on this today.

424
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna you know, I'm not one that sticks

425
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: with something and belabors the point. I'm just saying, did

426
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: you say that we're going to Atlanta? By the way? Sure?

427
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: Are we driving or flying to Atlanta? I mean, do

428
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: we have to go there? Since they're coming here? I

429
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: guess that's true. We are going to have discussion though

430
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: with somebody who covers the Hawks. Hawks next opponent for

431
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: the Pacers, and is there a guy on the roster

432
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: that maybe they'll give a quick tour of Gambridge Field

433
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: House because he could be somebody that the Pacers are targeting.

434
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: We don't know that for a fact, but there is

435
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: a lot of smoke about it, and we'll find out

436
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: what the story is when Brad Rowland joins us from

437
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: Lockdown Hawks? Does it other side Friday edition here Querry

438
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: and Company ninety three five and one oh seven five

439
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: to the fan, get to go to Atlanta in just

440
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: a second. But before we do that, Eddie, if you

441
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: could please the breaking news sounder. This just in about

442
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: twenty minutes ago. President Trump signed an executive order today

443
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: to hold an IndyCar race on the streets of Washington, DC.

444
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: This summer as part of America's two hundred and fiftieth

445
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: Birthday celebration. The race will be dubbed the America two

446
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: fifty Grand Prix. It would be August twenty third in Washington,

447
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: D C. Utilizing both Pennsylvania Avenue as well as the

448
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: National Mall. This has been something that has been mentioned

449
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 1: and discussed. I can tell you that in terms of

450
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: the travel or the calendar for those of us that

451
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: travel with the series, that had not been concretely mentioned,

452
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: although it had been very lightly discussed as a possibility.

453
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: There are a ton of logistics that need to go

454
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: into that. I would anticipate that because Roger Penske as

455
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: well as representatives from Fox were there for the executive

456
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: order signing that that would mean those logistics are underway

457
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 1: and taking place. But it is a huge venture. Baltimore

458
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: was a fantastic place that we raced for two years

459
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: back in the twenty tens, and I loved it, and

460
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: that area of the country I think certainly showed out

461
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. So we'll see what that means in Washington,

462
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: d C. And whether or not they are able to

463
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: put that together for in August twenty third, date in

464
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: the nation's capital, joining us now on the Java House

465
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: Peel and poor Guest. I more on that coming up,

466
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: by the way, including one that will be returning to

467
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: Pitt Road during the IndyCar season when that happens. But

468
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: Brad Rowland is with locked on Hawks, covering the Atlanta

469
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: Hawks who are going to be here tomorrow night, and

470
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: joins us on the program. Brad, how are you now?

471
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 5: We'll appreciate you have me.

472
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: Let's get to I appreciate you coming on. I want

473
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: to get to this because before we discuss one of

474
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: the key parts of Atlanta that I think is a

475
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: really good player. It always takes two to tango, Brad,

476
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: as you know when you start talking about trade deadline

477
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: and things like that. But where are the Hawks right now?

478
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: We obviously know that they showed a lot of promise

479
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: with Trey Young at one point then clearly decided to

480
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: go in a different direction from that. Is this a

481
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: team that is in tweak mode or complete rebuild mode?

482
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 6: I would definitely say tweak mode. Part of that is

483
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 6: that they don't they haven't had their own draft pick

484
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 6: because they've one of the trades tam made during the

485
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 6: Tree Young era going to get de Janta Murray and

486
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 6: a Meal and the deal that that backs are on

487
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 6: them pretty badly. But they're also very young. I mean,

488
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 6: one of the party lines around here is that they

489
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 6: always want to tell you that they are the third

490
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 6: youngest team in the NBA. And they also really value

491
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 6: their flexibility and a buzzword here is optionality as well,

492
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 6: like they have very clean books in the future. For example,

493
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 6: they have this awesome draft that coming from Milwaukee and

494
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 6: New Orleans this year, et cetera. So they're not actively

495
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 6: like tearing down at this point, but they're also not

496
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 6: pushing their chips in. They're kind of like, we want

497
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 6: to be competitive right now, but really the future is

498
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 6: a bigger priority than the president for the Dowgs.

499
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: One of those pieces, okay, is you know a cong

500
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: Wu is a guy that was a lottery pick for

501
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: them five years ago, which in the NBA term sometimes

502
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: that feels like forever. But he's a very good player,

503
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: and I think he's become more even offensively. Initially I

504
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: thought he was a really good rebounder and a situational rebounder,

505
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: but his game has developed now more well rounded and

506
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: his Indiana is looking for their next Miles Turner, so

507
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: to speak, and by that I mean a guy that

508
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: fills that role. He is a name that has been linked,

509
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: but is he a name that Atlanta would be willing

510
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: to move from.

511
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 6: I think the Hawks would be willing to listen on

512
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 6: an On kong Wu for sure, Like he's not on

513
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 6: the kind of top tier of relatively untouchable assets on

514
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 6: this roster. At the same time, they had this model

515
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 6: around him that kind of would say informs any speculation

516
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 6: about trading him, Like he's on a really good contract.

517
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,239
Speaker 6: He's only he's signed for two more years after this

518
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 6: one at a very modest price, about sixteen and a

519
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 6: half million dollars a season for a starting level player,

520
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 6: And I think that they know that allows him a

521
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 6: lot of flexibility to kind of pair him with another

522
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 6: starting caliber center and have two. Like most teams in

523
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 6: the league, you to look around, either have a star center,

524
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 6: like a top five to ten center, or they kind

525
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 6: of have two. And the Hawks are kind of going

526
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 6: in the route of maybe having two. But I think

527
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 6: that they basically with the exception of Jalen Johnson and

528
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 6: this draft pick maybe the Kelly's under walker, they're kind

529
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 6: of open to listen on anybody. So the answer is

530
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 6: kind of in the middle, and that's that's always not

531
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 6: always the best radio, that was best the best radio,

532
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 6: but it's also just reality, like they would listen for sure,

533
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 6: they're not eager to moving me to.

534
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: Go the the pieces that Atlanta would want. Let's get

535
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: to that if they were to move on from because

536
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: I am really intrigued by him, by a kong Wu.

537
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: And let's just say hypothetically, Brad, that Indiana and Atlanta

538
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: began and having discussions, and let's say the discussions begin

539
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: with Kevin Pritchard saying, Okay, you need what pieces or

540
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: you're looking for what kind of a player? Tell me

541
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: what that player looks like.

542
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 6: It's really interesting because of particular with Indiana, like I

543
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 6: think the Hawks. You know, it's not that they have

544
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 6: to trade a Congou for a center, but if you were,

545
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 6: if you're on the Hawks side and you're a team

546
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 6: trying to compete in the playoffs even this season, if

547
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 6: you turn if you trade the Congo, you turn around,

548
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 6: you don't have a center on your roster that you

549
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 6: can rely on. And I think that's part of the

550
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 6: challenge with an in season trade. In particular this year

551
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 6: in the summer might might be more and more likely,

552
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 6: just because they have more flexibility.

553
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 5: But I think at a vacuum.

554
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 6: You're you're talking about cost control, young players, player or players,

555
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 6: and or you know, real droft capital, not like seconds

556
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 6: like you know first to some degree, probably some combination

557
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 6: of those two things to get the Hawks to move

558
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 6: again during the season, knowing that that any deal with

559
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 6: the Congou, I would imagine would make them worse in

560
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 6: the short term. And the Hawks aren't necessarily trying to

561
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 6: make the finals this year, but they do want to

562
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 6: make the playoffs, and I think that would be an

563
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 6: active consideration to know that you're getting worse than any trade,

564
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 6: if that makes sense.

565
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: Do you think Ben Matheren would be of interest to Atlanta?

566
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 5: It could be.

567
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 6: I don't know for sure on this front office is

568
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 6: it is still a relatively new one for the Hawks,

569
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 6: Like they want the fron offics that evaluated that draft,

570
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 6: so there's not like a data point to tell me

571
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 6: whether they would be in on Mather. And I think

572
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 6: he's the kind of player that might be of interest

573
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 6: to them. Like you know, they kind of use some

574
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 6: more offensive punch generally, which he can provide. But also

575
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 6: one of the questions I know you are well versed in,

576
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 6: like he's not signed beyond the season, so it's like,

577
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 6: what's this next deal.

578
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 5: Going to look?

579
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 4: Like?

580
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 6: You have to actively really like him to want him

581
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 6: as kind of center piece of do like this because

582
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 6: there isn't that cost certainty to like you have to

583
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 6: negotiate with him and maybe you know, I would say

584
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 6: restrictive for agency is pretty kind of the team a

585
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 6: lot of the time, but you have to have that want.

586
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 6: So talented player would make sense in Atlanta given the

587
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 6: timeline that he's on and the offense. I just don't

588
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 6: know for sure if there is active interests on.

589
00:32:59,120 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 4: The Aks side.

590
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would have to assume, would you not Brad

591
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: Brad Rollins my guest from Locked on Hawks, he's on

592
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: the job of house peel and poor guest line, you'd

593
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: have to assume that if the Pacers move on from

594
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: Ben Mathen that it would be a sign in trade,

595
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: right because anybody getting him or acquiring him, if it's

596
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: a deadline move, you want to make sure you're getting

597
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: somebody he's not a rental piece, right, because he's not

598
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: coming with a big tag.

599
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 6: Yet right, Yeah, I mean I would imagine certainly you're

600
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 6: training for Ben Matherin in the next few days, you

601
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 6: have to be planning on signing him.

602
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 5: That doesn't mean that you have to, you know, give him.

603
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 6: The max if somebody else goes crazy this summer and

604
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 6: you can't act a big stumber and season anyway. But

605
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 6: I think that any team, whether it's all for somebody else,

606
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 6: if you're productively training for Mathro or any player in

607
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 6: a situation, you have to be saying, all right, we're

608
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 6: ready to pay this guy a market rate this summer,

609
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 6: because otherwise I don't know why you would be doing it.

610
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: You know, I ask this question a lot, Brad, And

611
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: I know that your job is to cover the Hawks, right,

612
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: and you're focused on the Hawks, and so therefore you

613
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: know there's thirty plus other teams in the NBA, and

614
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: you peripherally are aware of them because of their connection

615
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: to playing the Hawks. But that's the extent of it.

616
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: But I'm always curious of this, the out of market

617
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: perception of the Indiana Pacers. Do you see the Pacers

618
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: right now? Do you believe that the league would see

619
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: it as Look, we know why they're having a down

620
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: year or does the league see it as they're having

621
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: a down year because a guy got hurt, but also

622
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: because last year was a fluke. Which way do you

623
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: think the league perceives it?

624
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 6: I think the league is certainly more of the former,

625
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 6: where they it's totally understandable and everyone kind of understands

626
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 6: what's going on Indiana, like once how he goes down.

627
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 5: You know, Turner leaves as well.

628
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 6: That's secondary to Halliburton for sure, but that was a

629
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 6: part of this too, Which why are you talking about

630
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 6: kng Wu in the first place. I think the league

631
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 6: understands that this is still an impressive nucleus with Haliburton back,

632
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 6: and everyone seems we'll be back in full strength relatively

633
00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 6: soon next season beyond. But there is some new he

634
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 6: wants to that of course, Like there is certainly a

635
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 6: segment of people in the league who aren't No one

636
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 6: thinks it was like a total fluke, but it was like, hey,

637
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 6: how real was that is a question that's out there

638
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 6: on Indiana, which I think is understandable given what they

639
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 6: weren't in red season.

640
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 5: Of times, all that stuff.

641
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 6: But I think the general consensus is like, hey, that

642
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 6: was this is a really good team. And also teams

643
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 6: are in the league, you know, kind of built not

644
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 6: exactly like them, but there was a lot of like, hey,

645
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 6: can we be the next Indiana as far as a

646
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 6: team building and you know, being being strong and physical

647
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 6: on the perimeter, having these multiple ball handlers, the way

648
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 6: that this Pacers built their team. And yes you have

649
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 6: to have paliburt and to make it all go, but

650
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 6: there was a admiration for what they did as well.

651
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 6: So I'm not sure everyone's convinced that the Pacers are

652
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 6: still going to be a Chtel contender again next season,

653
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,959
Speaker 6: but everyone knows that like this, that's still a really

654
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 6: good nucleus of a team, if that makes sense.

655
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, one of the things I like to do, Brad,

656
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: before we let you go, sometimes I like to guess.

657
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: One of the things that fascinates me about sports in

658
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: general is every franchise has a player that is a

659
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: beloved part of the franchise history that the crowd goes

660
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: crazy for and everyone loves, and yet people outside that

661
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: market would never guess them. For example, in Indiana, it

662
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: might be Lance Stevenson. Lance Stevenson is like forever a

663
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: fan favorite. I don't know that anybody in Chicago. You

664
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: mentioned the Indiana Pacers thinks of Lance Stevenson. Okay, So

665
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to guess here the four most popular and

666
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: iconic Atlanta Hawks like to the fan base. Okay, all right,

667
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: number one all time, I'm saying, Okay, number one's got

668
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: to be Dominique Wilkins.

669
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 5: Correct, Yes, for sure.

670
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: I mean like probably not even like no one's even

671
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: in the ballpark. Correct.

672
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he still remains in a tier by

673
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 6: himself as far as long as you're old enough to

674
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 6: remember something about Dominique, he's still number one for sure.

675
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: Brad. How old a fella are you, by the.

676
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 6: Way, I'm like to be for you, So I remember

677
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 6: the Dominique era. I was gonna say, I'm people people

678
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 6: younger than me don't maybe, but I'm still in the

679
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 6: area where I grew up watching geeks.

680
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 2: I'm right there.

681
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: Okay. So uh, I'm gonna go with Tree Rollins.

682
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 6: Oh uh. He definitely has kind of a to your

683
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,959
Speaker 6: point earlier about Lance, like kind of a cult like Coult.

684
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: That's a good way saying, right.

685
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 6: Like from that from that, especially from that era, because

686
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 6: he wasn't necessarily ever like the guy on that team,

687
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 6: but was you know, maybe it's the name to the

688
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 6: name tree. It's kind of like mem people kind of

689
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 6: lash onto it. So I don't know if he's in

690
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 6: the top four, but there is something to that for sure,

691
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 6: where he's like definitely more beloved in Atlanta than he

692
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 6: might be said more.

693
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: Okay, here, here we go. Here's the rest of my four, Dominique.

694
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: I'll go with Steve Smith.

695
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's up there for sure.

696
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 1: That was go ahead, Bob Pettitt, But that's more Saint Louis, right.

697
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that was.

698
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 6: I mean, he's a big it's funny, he's the best

699
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 6: player in franchise history.

700
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 5: But it's only Saint Louis Is.

701
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 6: You have to like draw the line because you know

702
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 6: you wentdn't MVP and what the championship? That's that's the

703
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 6: Hawk's only the only title.

704
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: Is here are my last two? Trey Young, I'm still

705
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: gonna put up there, even though he was traded out, right, yeah, I.

706
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 6: Would agree with that, even though his his star faded

707
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 6: LA But I think when with some hindsight in a

708
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 6: couple of years, people remember how how loved he was here.

709
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: Okay, my last one is my curve ball here.

710
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 6: John Drew, Oh yeah, John Drew is a sneaky beloved here.

711
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: I would say that's that's like the show, Brad, We're

712
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 1: sneaky beloved. That's the new motto for this program. Sneaky

713
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: beloved is what we are, right.

714
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 6: Really good player for a long time and not a

715
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 6: big name. So yeah, that fits in with what you're

716
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 6: with what you're laying down there for sure.

717
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: Okay, So then lastly, who am I missing? Anybody that

718
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: I'm missing that you're like, Jake, You're moron? You know,

719
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: Danny Manning or anybody I'm missing.

720
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 5: You know?

721
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 6: More lately, I think Kyle Korver's like that in the

722
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 6: more modern era of the Hawks, Like people know Kyle Korver,

723
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 6: but he was like really beloved during that like ten

724
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 6: twelve years to go run for the Hawks where it

725
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 6: was Al Horford's team and Jeff Keegue of those guys.

726
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 6: But I think Kover especially because he's still here, he

727
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 6: works for the team, he's kind of the like lots

728
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 6: of memes about him, and he's the name artuitor out

729
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 6: there for sure. It was also Durayman, but like had

730
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 6: his best years in Atlanta. Same thing, very dear.

731
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: To the famis all right, Pacers and Hawks. It will

732
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: be tomorrow night at Gamebridge Field House. Brad appreciate the time.

733
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: And should these two at some point hookup back in

734
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs, we will or actually if there's a trade

735
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: as well. Love to have you back on, happy to

736
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: do it.

737
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me.

738
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, Brad Rowland joining us from locked on Hawks. Eddie,

739
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: I want you to think about it when we come back.

740
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me other than Lance Stevenson,

741
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: the other Pacer that perhaps is a beloved, sneaky beloved,

742
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: sneaky beloved not named Lance Stevenson. We also do have

743
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: some NFL news to get to as well, really some

744
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: breaking news. It's a busy Friday. It's a busy, sneaky

745
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: beloved Friday here on the fan. Okay, So if you're

746
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: just joining us on the program, thank you, Eddie. Here's

747
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: the skinny if you will, and again just using more

748
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: hip terms like the QR QR. President Trump in the

749
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: last hour signing an executive order to announce that on

750
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: August twenty third, there is the plan for a free

751
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: IndyCar event in the streets of Washington, d C. The

752
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: American two fifty Grand Prix. This is part of the

753
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the

754
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: United States. It would involve racing around using Pennsylvania Avenue

755
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: and then racing around the mall. And I don't mean

756
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: the mall like our Circle Center mall. I mean the

757
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: historic mall of the monuments of Washington, d C. And

758
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: I recall when we had a race in Baltimore, and

759
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: I loved it the race and ball. More to me

760
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: was that might be of the places that we have

761
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: raced in terms of a street race. I just thought

762
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: Baltimore was fantastic. The crowd was massive. They had one

763
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: challenge the first year that we went there because they

764
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,959
Speaker 1: had a railroad track that was creating a bump where

765
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: the cars were. And those are the little things that

766
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: you don't realize. Just for example, a city street, no

767
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: matter where you are, is designed. You don't realize it

768
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: when you're driving on it. But there is a crowning

769
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: on most city streets to allow water runoff so that

770
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: streets don't flood. So if you're in the middle of

771
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: Meridian Street, you are a slightly higher elevation than if

772
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: you were on the side of the street, you don't notice.

773
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's very subtle, but if you are racing

774
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: a car at one hundred and ninety miles an hour

775
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: and you know, nine inches off of the ground, you

776
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: definitely notice it. And so the logistics of those things

777
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: in terms of a race design and then all of

778
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: the security goes into it, are things that are going

779
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: to be Usually it takes a couple of years, I think,

780
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: to put something like that together. And that's not to

781
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: say that they maybe have not been planning on something

782
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: like that for a while. I don't know. But the fencing,

783
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of logistics that go

784
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: into that. So it will be impressive if they're able

785
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: to pull that off. On August twenty third, Graham Rayhill

786
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: was one that said, look, this is an unbelievable opportunity

787
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: because of the eyeballs that would come with it, regardless

788
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 1: of whether people and there are going to be people

789
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: that consider that to be a politically affiliated event, and

790
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: I understand that. But they didn't invite Formula One, they

791
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: didn't invite NASCAR, they invited IndyCar, and I think IndyCar

792
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 1: probably as it's continuing to try to grow its fan base.

793
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: Is going to take advantage of any opportunity to be

794
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: on a stage like that, and if it is a

795
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:53,479
Speaker 1: free event, then that's going to be massive, one would

796
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: assume in terms of the turnout. But we'll see as

797
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: we between now and then. One of the things we

798
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 1: know is that Tim Sindric, who was formerly the president

799
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 1: of Penske Racing and was ousted from that position after

800
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: the scandal that took place in the month of May,

801
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: he will be back with Penske and he will be

802
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: back with Scott McLaughlin as the race strategist for the

803
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: three car for Indy Car and Cedric right now out

804
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: of the country, but I think we're probably gonna have

805
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: him on the show next week.

806
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 3: Just the what happened in the month of Magic, but

807
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 3: all the other things that have happened, you know prior

808
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 3: to that is Saint Pete.

809
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Saint Pete as well with the push to Pass,

810
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: so kind of like the Bill Belichick thing, you know,

811
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 1: linked to two different things before we get to the

812
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 1: Pacers question as well. And you said there's NFL news, right, Yes.

813
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 3: The Minnesota Vikings have fired their generally their general manager,

814
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 3: Quasi Adolfo minsa a bit surprising in terms of the timing.

815
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 3: He just met with the Minnesota media like two weeks

816
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 3: ago for the annual ind of season press conference, and

817
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 3: the timing of this is very odd concerning You've got

818
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 3: the draft combine coming up in a couple of weeks.

819
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 5: Uh.

820
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: The draft itself is, you.

821
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 3: Know what, less than it was about three months away

822
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 3: or so, and it just very very odd timing on

823
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 3: why Minnesota would do this now versus you know, not

824
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 3: on Black Monday or even a week after the end

825
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 3: of the regular season.

826
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: You know who their assistant general manager is. I do

827
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: know that. Yeah, yeah, Ian Gray, whether not Ryan Grigson

828
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: was part of this change or is Ryan Grigson? No

829
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 1: say on that. The announcement is just that they have

830
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 1: fired their general manager. That's it, you know. I would

831
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: think if you're Minnesota, the two quarterbacks that seemingly had

832
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: the biggest bounce back year this year would be who Eddie.

833
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: If you're talking about veteran quarterbacks in the National Football

834
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: League that have been journeymen but seem to find some

835
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: solid footing this year and have had and had good

836
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: years when they were healthy, it would be who.

837
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 3: Uh, for sure, with Daniel Jones during that stint with

838
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 3: the cold thing. Okay, I don't know if you can

839
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 3: put Can you put Sam Darnold in that category, since

840
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 3: he had a good year last year?

841
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: Yes, And I'll tell you why, because both of those

842
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: players were in Minnesota, and Donald was in Minnesota, and

843
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: they opted to go with JJ McCarthy instead of sticking

844
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: with Donald and Donald's in the Super Bowl, and Daniel

845
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: Jones looks like he's going to, even with injury, get

846
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: a big contract from Indianapolis that and McCarthy struggled, and

847
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: I know he's a young player, but you wonder if

848
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: that didn't come into play with it as well. All Right,

849
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: we'll get your answer to the Pacers question and we'll

850
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: get back into one of the big questions about the

851
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: Colts on the other side. Here a querying company ninety

852
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: three five one to seventy five the fan. Okay, Eddie,

853
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: I think we can safely say if we were putting

854
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: together a list, and I know this sounds like July

855
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 1: radio fill type stuff. But before we get to Dustin

856
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: Dapirak from the Indianapolis Star that's going to join us

857
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: just a second here on kind of an anticipation of

858
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: the trade deadline conversation for you, if you had to

859
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: list it or between the two of us the most

860
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 1: popular pacers of all time, it goes without saying Reggie Miller, Okay,

861
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: I think you know obviously Tyrus Halliburton is now right there. Yep.

862
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: I would then say probably Dale Davis and either Rick

863
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: Smith's or Antonio Davis. Now Lance Stevenson would be the one.

864
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: Every franchise has it that you would not anticipate. Is

865
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: you know a cornerstone guy that is a beloved figure?

866
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: Now yep? Who am I missing?

867
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 3: I think you're missing another guy that's currently on.

868
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm it goes without saying the

869
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,919
Speaker 1: ABA pacers, I'm not. I mean, you know, Roger Brown,

870
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: George McGinnis, Bob Netlicky Freddie Lewis, all those guys I get.

871
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm going Mel Daniels. I'm not counting the ABA guys.

872
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: They're all in their own stratosphere.

873
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 3: I think you're looking at TJ. McConnell being on that

874
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 3: guess very fair. Jeff Foster, Yeah, that's a good one.

875
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 3: That's a good one. I don't know who else would

876
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 3: follow Danny Granger not bad.

877
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: I think people Danny Granger's one that I think George Hill.

878
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: George Hill's a good one. As time has passed, I

879
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: think Danny Granger is more appreciated now than when he

880
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: was in the moment. I think people now can recognize

881
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 1: that Danny Granger was a pretty darn good player, and

882
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: you know, on not very good teams, but a good player. Nonetheless. Jackson, Yeah,

883
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: here's the thing about Mark Jackson, I mean, Jalen Jalen Rose.

884
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

885
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: I always kind of felt like, and maybe this is

886
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: my own thought, I always felt like Mark Jackson was

887
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: one that everyone knew he was a dynamic player and

888
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: that he was a very important player, and that he was.

889
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: But at the same time, if you had to pick

890
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: one guy that like no one ever fully embraced, it

891
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: would be Mark Jackson, maybe because he had been a

892
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: nick but also because I think like the Reggie thirty

893
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: for thirty, I always got the impression that Mark Jackson.

894
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: It was like, we're going to do a thirty for

895
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: thirty documentary about Reggie Miller, and we're going to interview

896
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: Mark Jackson, and Mark Jackson's going to take the opportunity

897
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: to tell us that he's the reason that Reggie Miller

898
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: was great.

899
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 3: I think we should both be fired and not have

900
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 3: to do the rest of the show because we didn't

901
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 3: mention Jermaine O'Neil.

902
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's an interesting one to me as well though,

903
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: because and maybe I was a little too close to it,

904
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: because I you know, I covered the whole thing, and

905
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: I like Jermaine O'Neil a great deal and he's a

906
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 1: wonderful player. But in the end, I think people forget

907
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 1: about the fact that Jermaine O'Neill. It didn't end really well.

908
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: It did not end well. It wasn't like said, it

909
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: wasn't a Miles Turner level thing, right, but his availability

910
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: he was hurt a lot towards the end, and I

911
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 1: think there were people that perceived it in the time

912
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: as he was soft in a diva and whatever, And

913
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: now people look back and go, man, he was really good.

914
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: So yes, retroactively, for sure, his stock has increased since

915
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 1: he left, and he was really popular in the beginning

916
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean when he you know the thing

917
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 1: about the Pacers franchise that is interesting. Ever since Reggie

918
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: Miller left or retired, there have been a this market

919
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: and this fan base has so longed for having another

920
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller, which is why last year was so special

921
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: and at the same time significant, because initially, when Reggie

922
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: Miller left, you know, it was like, Okay, I mean,

923
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: this is Jermaine O'Neill's team, it's Jermaine O'Neill's franchise. Jermaine

924
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: O'Neil's the guy. And then with Jermaine O'Neil, eventually, when

925
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: like I said, the injuries and everything else, then it

926
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: was Danny Granger's the guy. This is Danny Granger's franchise,

927
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: Andy Grangers, and our test is in that mix as well.

928
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: But we know what happened there. What about Tyler Hansborough.

929
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: He was more popular than the rest of the league

930
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: would have guessed, right, Yeah. But the after Granger, then

931
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,240
Speaker 1: it became it was this is Paul Holy Cow, Paul George.

932
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: Paul George is the guy. And he was a wonderful player.

933
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: And I'll still remember, I mean I remember vividly the

934
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,919
Speaker 1: you know, I was at the Paul George softball game

935
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: when he sat there and said, like, you know, this

936
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: is where I want to be, and Kevin Pritchard was

937
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: there in the crowd, and it was the next day

938
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 1: or a week later or whatever when the word comes

939
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: out that his agent has said, look, he want he

940
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: wants out. So then they got Victor Oldepo. It was like,

941
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 1: Victor Odiepo's a guy. This Victor Oldepo's franchise. Here we go.

942
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: This is great little bit of sabonus there. Once they

943
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: made that move as well, but now and I think

944
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: that's why last year was so special and so meaningful

945
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: people because as they watched Halliburton and all of the

946
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: plays and all of the moments and doing the choke

947
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,720
Speaker 1: sign in New York, and you know what he did,

948
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: and the pride in which he took on that I'm

949
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: from Indiana, I'm a Pacer, and he was open about

950
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: the fact he thought he was going to be a

951
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: king forever, a Sacramento king. And I think Halliburton was

952
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: hurt a little bit by being dealt away from Sacramento

953
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: because he wanted to be there, and how many players

954
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: want to be in Sacramento, right, But he's a guy

955
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: from Oscosh, Wisconsin, And when he came to Indiana, he

956
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: had two choices, and one was to embrace it and

957
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: the other was to sulk about it. And he embraced it,

958
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: and the city embraced him back, and so here he is.

959
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 1: But I just think it was so significant for people

960
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 1: because we had thirsted and longed for so long and

961
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: falsely anointed so many players prematurely. And with Halliburton, it

962
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 1: was the alle floor where it's like, yep, that there

963
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: it is. That's the guy that's the next face of

964
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: the franchise. And you know, we'll see what happens in

965
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: terms of where he is when he comes back from

966
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: a playing and competitive standpoint. The other question becomes, are

967
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: we going to see, for example, this weekend a preview

968
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: of a player that Indiana might be looking towards to

969
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: replace Miles Turner and to run alongside Tyrese Haliburton and

970
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: the rest next year joining us now Java House Peel

971
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: Andporg guest line, we'll get the Pacers side of things.

972
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: Our friend from the Indianapolis Star, it is Dustin, who

973
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: joins us on the program. Dustin, I don't know where

974
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 1: this began. And you may say, well, Jacob didn't begin anywhere.

975
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what you're talking about, but

976
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: I really and I have followed this guy for a while.

977
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: But a Coong Wu for Atlanta is a very promising

978
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,479
Speaker 1: young player that was a lottery pick just five years

979
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: ago and has really developed a well rounded game at

980
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: the center position. And I've seen his name linked as

981
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: a potential trade, you know object of desire for the Pacers.

982
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: Is that just people tried to grab what player would

983
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: fit in or do you believe that there might be

984
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: some smoke to this?

985
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a hard time knowing that one. I'm

986
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 2: not really sure. I mean, I'm trying to remember who

987
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 2: I saw reported about. I mean I think I feel

988
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 2: like everything that I've seen is just that the Pacers

989
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 2: kick the tires on the sky, and if you're the Pacers,

990
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 2: you should kick the tires on everybody as far as

991
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 2: potential centers. And he's definitely a guy that would fit them.

992
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 2: Now what would what would Atlanta want? And you know,

993
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 2: like what would serve their purpose? I think it's an

994
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 2: interesting question, you know, because it's like all right, like

995
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 2: I and I don't know. I mean, like if I'm

996
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 2: trying to remember what it will kong Wu makes like

997
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 2: I don't like look at a salary to make sure

998
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 2: I know. But you know, this does somebody like Walker

999
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 2: or Master and do it for them. I think it's

1000
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 2: interesting question because certainly they're you know, they're on that fringe,

1001
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 2: you know right now, in that nine tenth spot. They

1002
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 2: need to get better. They have some pieces that are

1003
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 2: central They're going to build around Jalen Johnson and Ice

1004
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 2: Daniels and those guys. You know, I don't think of

1005
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 2: Kong with a bad player to have in the middle

1006
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 2: for them. And if I was them, I'd set a

1007
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 2: pretty high price for what I wanted. I mean, I

1008
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 2: don't know how much. You know, he makes as far as.

1009
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: Uh sixteen he makes sixteen million by the way Dustin team.

1010
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 2: So you'd have to it has to be probably mattering

1011
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 2: and walker because like to match the salary, you probably

1012
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 2: have to be right about there.

1013
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: Unless unless you did a sign and trade. Right if

1014
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: you if you sign tell me how this works. If

1015
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: you signed Mather and let's say the Pacers just signed

1016
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: Mather int a you know, a two year, forty million

1017
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 1: in a sign in trade and send him would could

1018
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: they do it that way? And then the salaries are

1019
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: within the ten percent or twenty percent or whatever it

1020
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 1: might be.

1021
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they could do it, but they can't do it

1022
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 2: until they can't do.

1023
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 1: That until Jim gotcha Okay, makes sense?

1024
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 2: Do a you can't do it, like they can't negotiate

1025
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,280
Speaker 2: on a contract now and do it at the deadline,

1026
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 2: so you know, like they can't re begin negotiations on that,

1027
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 2: so you can't do you can't do a sign in

1028
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 2: trade February?

1029
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 3: Would they consider adding Isaiah Jackson into a trade for

1030
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 3: the salary aspect to it and to kind of get

1031
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 3: rid of one of the centers on the roster because

1032
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 3: I know Rick Carlisle is like what they have seen

1033
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 3: from Micah Potter and j Huff this season as well.

1034
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Pacers, the Pacers would The question

1035
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 2: is is that do it for Atlanta? I think that's

1036
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 2: sort of the more interesting piece there. I mean, I

1037
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 2: think they certainly, you know, Matt Mattherin and Jackson for

1038
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 2: of congole works for the pace where it works fantastically

1039
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 2: from the Pacers standpoint, does it works from Atlanta standpoint?

1040
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 2: I mean the money gets done, you know, like you

1041
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 2: can you get that across the finish line as far

1042
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 2: as being okay with the league, But you know that

1043
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 2: My question would be, like that enough for Atlanta? You know,

1044
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 2: I mean, like I would Still, I think KNG was

1045
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 2: a nice player, and I don't know that he's the

1046
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,280
Speaker 2: one that I would rushed apart with him if I'm Atlanta,

1047
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 2: So you know, that's kind of more of my thing,

1048
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 2: Like I think if you're if you're the Pacers. Yet

1049
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 2: he looks great, you know, like, does he solve all

1050
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 2: of your problems? Is he the guy?

1051
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: You know?

1052
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 2: Like he's to me, he's good enough. You know, he's

1053
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 2: good enough that you can trust him at the five

1054
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 2: Considering what else is out there, you know, it's going

1055
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,399
Speaker 2: to be hard to get what you want basically from

1056
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,280
Speaker 2: the trademarket as it is. I think you help yourself

1057
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,280
Speaker 2: pretty much if your get to Kong will But I'm

1058
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 2: looking at it from Atlanta standpoint, I'm thinking, is that

1059
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 2: what they need? I'm not sure.

1060
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: Dustin this team, the Pacers themselves. Let's go back to

1061
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago to now. You know, it

1062
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 1: looked and I became excited over the prospects and possibility

1063
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: of the Pacers becoming the San Antonio Spurs, a team

1064
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: that was not organically the worst team in the league,

1065
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: but found themselves falling into And this has happened for

1066
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: San Antonio twice the best player available in the draft

1067
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: and having the number one pick, and it changes you instantly,

1068
00:56:55,800 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: and I became enthrawled by that prospect. But Indiana, now,

1069
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: in the combination of health and some guys starting to

1070
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,359
Speaker 1: play a little bit, going to play themselves out of

1071
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: that possibility.

1072
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 5: I wouldn't go that far.

1073
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 2: I mean, they're still right there neck and neck with

1074
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 2: you know, for one, for one thing, in both of

1075
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 2: those cases with san Antonio, if you were talking about

1076
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 2: a definitive number one guy, you know, basically where's like,

1077
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm trying to remember who was around for

1078
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 2: Duncan and you know, there are obviously good you know,

1079
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 2: you Brandon Miller and Scoot Henderson and that one Binyama draft,

1080
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 2: but you know, like there was a big difference between

1081
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 2: one and everybody else with this group. I feel like

1082
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 2: if you get any of the top four, you're in

1083
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 2: good shape.

1084
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: I would agree with that and that and by the way,

1085
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: and Dustin just so folks know, that's not because either

1086
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: one of us is disparaging. In other words, there are

1087
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: four instant impact type guys in this draft right right.

1088
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 2: That's my view. You know, I feel like if you

1089
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 2: get if you get Peterson, DeVonta boozer, Wilson, you're in

1090
00:57:57,640 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 2: great shape. And I think, I mean even that the

1091
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 2: what's his name, Kingston Plumbing from Houston might be that

1092
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 2: way too. But if you're the Pacers, you don't need

1093
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 2: the point guard. You know, that's the one place where

1094
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 2: you're where you're set. You know, you already have your

1095
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 2: franchise guy. You kill it. They get any of those

1096
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 2: four guys, they're in good shape. I mean, to me,

1097
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 2: I think Peterson is the best fit, you know, I

1098
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 2: think he's the guy that you would pick number one

1099
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 2: if you have the opportunity. But if you know, you're

1100
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 2: fine if you get the Vaunta, you're fine, if you

1101
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 2: get Boots, and you're fine if you get Wilson in

1102
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 2: any of those cases. So like, if they find themselves

1103
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 2: in a position where that's where they end up, they're fine.

1104
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 2: The thing that you're worried about, I guess is if

1105
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 2: you get really bad lottery luck, uh and end up

1106
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 2: at five, you know, then everything's a little bit different.

1107
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 2: Then it's you know, do you want Nata mend you know,

1108
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 2: do you want you know, like.

1109
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 5: Or or.

1110
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 2: Or Kingston Slummings like so it's like, okay, would you

1111
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 2: would you take the signback kid from Washington and and

1112
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 2: you know, just roll the dice just because he's a

1113
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 2: big man.

1114
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 7: You know.

1115
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 2: Then it gets a little tricky. But I mean I

1116
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 2: think it getting in the top four, you're in good shape.

1117
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 2: And also I mean they're playing a little bit better.

1118
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 2: But you know, like I don't get where if i'm

1119
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 2: them in terms of are you winning too many games?

1120
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 2: I don't think you get word until you get to twenty,

1121
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 2: you know, I think that's the number that you get

1122
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 2: to say, Okay, you know, are the rest of these

1123
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 2: teams going to get there or not? Because they might not.

1124
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 2: You know, it does seem like everybody else is kind

1125
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 2: of committed to it. I mean, no, nobody's pulling guys yet.

1126
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 2: But you know, like you still have the Pelicans with

1127
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 2: only like twelve wins. I think the Wizards got their

1128
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 2: twelfth win last night. You know, you have four or

1129
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 2: five teams that are that are right around twelve. You know,

1130
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if all those teams get to twenty,

1131
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 2: there's probably one or two of them that don't. And

1132
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 2: so you know, then twenty becomes the number where it

1133
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 2: becomes a little bit of an issue. But you know,

1134
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 2: like you know, they just blew a huge lead against

1135
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 2: Atlanta on on Monday. I mean like every time they

1136
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 2: play well, there's a tendency to look maybe this is

1137
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 2: when they get going and maybe it becomes a problem,

1138
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 2: but they tend to lose games after that, and especially

1139
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 2: when they play better teams. You know, certain they were

1140
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 2: able to get that win against Oklahoma City. I like,

1141
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 2: I don't. They're playing too good to worry about yet.

1142
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you, Dustin. I'm going to give

1143
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: you five names here, okay, And of the five, I

1144
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: want you to tell me which player we most definitively

1145
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: know what they are, Which one is the closest to

1146
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: the ceiling of solid understanding of who and what they

1147
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: are as a player? Okay, Jerriff Walker, Ben Matherin, Jay Huff,

1148
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: Johnny Furfey, Ben Shephard.

1149
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 5: Am I ranking them all in order?

1150
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 1: No, just the one of those guys that you say, okay,

1151
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: that one we are most able to now definitively draw

1152
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: a conclusion as to who and what they are. Jeris Walker,

1153
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: Ben Matherin, Jay Huff, Johnny Furfey, Ben Shephard.

1154
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 2: It's Ben Shepherd by a long shot. I think I

1155
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 2: would rank them in order, Shepherd Tough, Surfy Walker or

1156
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 2: math and Walker. I guess Matt Walker, I think still

1157
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 2: has the most room to grow. And this last couple

1158
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 2: of weeks, you're like, all right, you know, I do

1159
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 2: think it certainly should change. Rick carlows you and you know,

1160
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 2: I imagine has to at least partially change the way

1161
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 2: they good ownership is looking at not ownership, but management

1162
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 2: is looking at it. But Ben Shepherd is who he is.

1163
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 2: You know, Ben Shepherd is going to make open threes,

1164
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 2: He's going to annoy you on defense, He's going to

1165
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 2: move to basketball, you know. I mean, I think Rick

1166
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 2: always says like he you know exactly what you're getting

1167
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 2: from Ben Shepard every time you're starting to really know

1168
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 2: what you're getting from Johnny Furphy every time. There's probably

1169
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 2: still a little bit more growth there.

1170
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 5: You know.

1171
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 2: Huff has you know, like he's limited in the way

1172
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 2: that he's limited. He's good in the way that he's good.

1173
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 2: I think he is going to be who he's going

1174
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 2: to be. And Mathurin is still Materin, and I you know,

1175
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 2: there's there's certainly a good possibility he gets traded next week,

1176
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 2: and you know, like you might find out more of

1177
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 2: who he is later, but I mean, I think you're

1178
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 2: just seeing that a shift. You know, he's never going

1179
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 2: to perfectly fit in for what they wanted to be.

1180
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 1: Do you believe that mas is a player that they

1181
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: could trade at the deadline, not because they're going to

1182
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 1: parlay that. In other words, conventional wisdom Dustin Dustin appierres

1183
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: my guest Indianapolis Stari is on the Joba house, appealing

1184
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: poor guest line. Conventional wisdom says, and I've been preaching

1185
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: this forever, you take Matherin and you trade him at

1186
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 1: the deadline for the Miles Turner replacement, and then in

1187
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: the draft you draft the Benedict Matherin replacement. Okay, right now,

1188
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: if the Miles Turner replacement is not there, is there

1189
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: the chance that they would move Matherin just to clear

1190
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: the space in the minutes for somebody that they're going

1191
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: to draft at the wing position, And then later they

1192
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 1: will figure out and just with the cap space what

1193
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: to do in terms of getting somebody to get Turner.

1194
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: In other words, could they move Matherin just to move

1195
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: him or is it going to be only if they

1196
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: can get a valuable piece immediately.

1197
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 2: I mean, they have to get something back. I think

1198
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 2: that's the purpose, is that that you want to you

1199
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 2: don't want to move that asset and get nothing back.

1200
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 2: So I mean, like, I don't think they will, like

1201
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 2: I don't think you'll see them trade him for another

1202
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 2: guy who's on an inspiring contractor they don't think it's

1203
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 2: very good, you know, Like I don't think it's gonna

1204
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 2: be one of those situations where it's like, Okay, just

1205
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 2: get this guy off my team. You know, they are

1206
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 2: going to shoot for a center, they are going to

1207
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 2: try to parlay that into a five man. But if

1208
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, one is just not in the market

1209
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 2: and they believe that, you know, there's a better that

1210
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 2: they have another path. The other The other thing is

1211
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 2: I think like you probably have to take what's you

1212
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 2: might have to take what's out there the five in

1213
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 2: terms of what you can get for him, because it's

1214
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 2: just like, I don't know when something else shakes loose,

1215
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 2: you know, I feel like you've just got to have

1216
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 2: somebody in there pretty soon that you can trust, but

1217
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 2: you absolutely can draft. Like I think they have to

1218
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 2: look at it and say Okay, well you can draft

1219
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 2: his replacement because that's what it looks like. That there

1220
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 2: is you know, if you end up with Boozer, that's

1221
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 2: a different story. But if you know, like if you

1222
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 2: get Peterson or de Bonsa, then he absolutely is the

1223
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 2: replacement for those minutes and he has opportunity to playim

1224
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 2: that those that guy will have an opporunity to play himself,

1225
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 2: and the more has more chance to grow. You know,

1226
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 2: you have more you know, his clock takes longer terms

1227
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 2: of when you have to make a salary decision h

1228
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 2: later on. But yeah, I mean I think yeah, like

1229
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 2: I think you want to you know, clear the money,

1230
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 2: clear the minute, clear the opportunity. But I think you

1231
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 2: also do want to get something back for it. Like

1232
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 2: I think they would feel like they messed up if

1233
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 2: they had the number six pick in the draft and

1234
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 2: he was the fourth leading scorer in the class and

1235
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 2: you don't get much of anything out of him. I

1236
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 2: think they want to make sure they get an asset.

1237
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:47,439
Speaker 1: Do you think, by the way, who is the best

1238
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 1: player in the draft. I have my own thought, but

1239
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: who do you think it is?

1240
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 2: I think Peterson and maybe I mean, like I'll view

1241
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 2: that two different ways. I mean, like Boozer is probably

1242
01:04:58,720 --> 01:04:59,959
Speaker 2: gonna be the one that will get all the award

1243
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 2: and he deserves it because Peterson's barely played. You know,

1244
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:08,919
Speaker 2: I think Boozer is certainly the best, the most impactful

1245
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 2: college player. I think Peterson probably is the most game like,

1246
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 2: presuming he's healthy, walks in and can do exactly what

1247
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 2: you need and can do. I think, I mean, I

1248
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 2: think he just perfectly fits the Pacers. I think like

1249
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 2: he has been the quick shooting wing that they've been

1250
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 2: looking for, and so I think he's I think Peterson's

1251
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 2: the best overall talent. De Bonsa might have the most upside.

1252
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 2: Boozer is the best college player, and he's the guy

1253
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 2: that I am most certain that he's going to be

1254
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 2: a good NBA player.

1255
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,959
Speaker 1: I think it's de Bonsa if I mean, Okay, there's

1256
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: no right answer here, right, you know what I mean?

1257
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: I just any of the boves can be yet, and

1258
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 1: I've seen more of him. I don't know why, but

1259
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: by you has been on when I've been channel surfing,

1260
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And Peterson, to your point,

1261
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 1: Peterson's had some I don't know if it's necessarily totally

1262
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: injury issue, or it's you know, preservation issue, whatever it

1263
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 1: might be. But it seems like he has played the least.

1264
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a lot of boozer, if I'm being

1265
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: completely candid. But so anyway, having said all of that,

1266
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 1: we will in with this dustin. How confident are you

1267
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: that a notable trade will take place for the pacers

1268
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: before the deadline?

1269
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 2: Pretty confident? I put it in the sixty percent range.

1270
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 2: You never know when someone's going to come around. I like,

1271
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 2: it seems like a lot of people think Mathern's getting moved,

1272
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 2: you know, like and you know, and I'm not saying

1273
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 2: that among pacers guys, I mean like national media that

1274
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. What is it?

1275
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 1: Is it?

1276
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 2: From an outside standpoint?

1277
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: Is he coveted? I mean, is mathering a guy that

1278
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: you think people are intrigued by.

1279
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 2: Intrigued yet coveted?

1280
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 5: No?

1281
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 2: Covet is the question of degree, you know. I think

1282
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 2: there are people out there that look at it and

1283
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 2: see him as somebody who can help you. But I

1284
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 2: don't think I don't think anybody has looking like obviously

1285
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 2: if he were, if you were good enough to be covetent,

1286
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 2: the paces would be trading him, you know, like, I

1287
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 2: guess he's he's played well enough to intrigue people. I

1288
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 2: don't think he's played well enough for anybody to be like, man,

1289
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 2: that that's the guy who changes me completely. You know.

1290
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 2: Some of that's been injuries this year. He just just

1291
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 2: hasn't been as explosive or be that just you know,

1292
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 2: the score that he's that you've seen him capable of being,

1293
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 2: and I think it's just the last thing you saw

1294
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,959
Speaker 2: kind of still sticks with you. There are certainly teams

1295
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 2: that they look at him and say, Okay, we could

1296
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 2: use that guy. But I don't think there's aybody who

1297
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 2: looks at him and says, well, get that guy's changing

1298
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 2: my franchise, you know. And maybe he goes back to

1299
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 2: being that player. You know, maybe he goes someplace else

1300
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 2: and gets more of an opportunity at an offense that

1301
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 2: fits him better, and then you know, next year he's

1302
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 2: averaging twenty five or whatever. But I think a lot

1303
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 2: of people thought, all right, with the opportunity in the

1304
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 2: minute he was going to get this year, he was

1305
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 2: going to score twenty five a game, you know, just

1306
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 2: by virtue of okay, the opportunity is going to be there.

1307
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 2: The shots are going to be there. You can be

1308
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 2: able to do what you want. And he hasn't put

1309
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 2: up the same kind of numbers, and some of that's so,

1310
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,120
Speaker 2: and some of that's and everything. But I think there

1311
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 2: would be more teams looking at him in that fashion

1312
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 2: if he came out and put up those kind of

1313
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 2: numbers this year.

1314
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: Dustin.

1315
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 3: Let's say they do make a trade at the at

1316
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 3: the deadline, and it's not for a center, what would

1317
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 3: that trade be to address another need on the roster?

1318
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean?

1319
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 2: And then I mean you can always use wing death,

1320
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 2: you know, like you can always use more guys at

1321
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 2: the two, three and four, you know, like like that's tallens.

1322
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 2: You can always have like it wouldn't be bad for

1323
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 2: them to have another two guard, uh, you know, maybe

1324
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 2: a combo type guy. Maybe somebody's two three, three four.

1325
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 2: And again, if you're if you're gonna move mathter and

1326
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 2: I mean, you have to have more depth there. You

1327
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 2: have to have somebody that can put the ball in

1328
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 2: the bucket, doesn't have the scores level of math and

1329
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 2: has but I think you'd like to have somebody in

1330
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 2: there that can get you points, uh at the two

1331
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 2: or the three, And that might be somebody that's perfectly

1332
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 2: fine to bring off the bench, but you know, I

1333
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,679
Speaker 2: think you could use a little You're gonna want somebody

1334
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 2: back with a little bit of punch if that's what

1335
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 2: you're If you're moving Mather and you know, and you're

1336
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 2: you know, you're trying to get something else and that's

1337
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 2: not a five, then I think that's what you'd want,

1338
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 2: even if it's on a limited basis. Even if you're thinking, Okay,

1339
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 2: well we're getting Peterson later, you just don't know how

1340
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 2: the lot of revolts are going to go. You can't

1341
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 2: be sure that you're getting Aaron Peterson. If you do,

1342
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 2: you know, you can make some moves at that point.

1343
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 2: But I would think if you had to go somewhere

1344
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 2: else that isn't the five, that's where you would I

1345
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 2: think most.

1346
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 1: Look tomorrow night Pacers, Hawks, Gambridge Field House. Dustin will

1347

1353
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 1: to the other. There is actually a team the last

1354
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 1: that I checked, and I could be wrong in this,

1355
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: there's a team in the area that I think is

1356
01:09:56,320 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 1: chasing history and I'm going to potentially I'm wearing my

1357
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 1: Rod labor Adidas, which I really enjoy. Fabulous shoes, very comfortable,

1358
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 1: like the tennis court for the Australian Open. Correct. Did

01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 1: to say it's sick and I was going to say,

1362
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: Eddie again, you gotta go cinema. I like that. That

1363
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 1: was good. You're you're doing a good job of speaking

1364
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more younger hip.

1365
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 4: You know q R.

1366
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:34,640
Speaker 1: Q R kids love it, kid, I listen. We had

1367
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 1: a meeting yesterday after the show and they did a

1368
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 1: quick Yeah they did a quick that Walker research, but

1369
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,679
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with younger kids, it's actually called Runner research.

1370
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 1: And they did some The Runner research folk came in

1371
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 1: and they said the QR things pops with the kids.

1372
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: So I'm you know, but no, my Rod labor Adidas. Uh,

1373
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, I was wore boots the last couple of days.

1374
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 1: But now I'm like, Okay, the stuff is clear enough.

1375
01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 1: I can go back to the to my ten shoes

1376
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 1: and the pair that I'm wearing. I like them enough

1377
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: that I'm not even worried if I had to put

1378
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,640
Speaker 1: my foot in my mouth with what I'm about to

1379
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: ask that could be of historic nature in case I

1380
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 1: missed something that changed. But our next guest can tell

1381
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 1: me whether or not I'm on track with a historical

1382
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: feet that might be in the ranks, or whether or

1383
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 1: not I missed something and that's not on the board.

1384
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: We'll explain all of it on the other side. We

1385
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: have not had a check yet today on the snow

1386
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:36,840
Speaker 1: mountain wager. Now, if you recall, the week began with

1387
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: obviously in really a sizeable amount of snow, just under

1388
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:44,160
Speaker 1: a foot of it, and they plowed our parking lot

1389
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: here and it created the you know, the always proverbial

1390
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:50,759
Speaker 1: snow mountain peaks. It's more of like a snow rink.

1391
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 1: It really kind of is, right. So the question that

1392
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 1: I posed to Eddie to begin the week was what

1393
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 1: will the date be when they're there is not a

1394
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 1: single trace left of snow or ice in the parking lot,

1395
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,680
Speaker 1: and then all of the snow Mountain range will have

1396
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 1: melted or been washed away. And I guessed, I believe,

1397
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: I said February sixteenth, seventeenth, seventeenth. Okay, so I guess

1398
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 1: February seventeenth, and Eddie chortled and then said, you're taking

1399
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:29,600
Speaker 1: the under short old. Okay, that might be a Karen queryism.

1400
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 1: My mom has her own vocabulary sometimes, which is probably

1401
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: genetically where things like QR come from. QR, but I

1402
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:42,680
Speaker 1: don't know if can you look up if chortled is

1403
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:47,640
Speaker 1: a word kind of means to snicker to oneself.

1404
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 3: Chortle, laugh in a breathy, gleeful way, chuckle if you're

1405
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 3: using that as a ferment that you're using it as

1406
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 3: a noun, a breathy, gleeful laugh.

1407
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:05,839
Speaker 1: Okay, well you chortled. So are you revising your selection

1408
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 1: or are you sticking with it? I'm sticking with it, Jake,

1409
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,160
Speaker 1: your thought was that the sun was going to melt it.

1410
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 1: Now have you seen sizable change? I have seen change,

1411
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: for sure. Okay. I'm just contemplating whether this.

1412
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 3: I don't even know what direction that is, but the

1413
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 3: corner up here closest to.

1414
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: Me, Okay, that would be the southeast corner.

1415
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go, the southeast corner. I didn't know

1416
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 3: what direction we're facing, so that's the other part of it.

1417
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 3: So I didn't I knew it was southeast. I didn't

1418
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 3: know if it was actually southeast, right, because for you

1419
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:42,560
Speaker 3: that's actually the northeast.

1420
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 1: For me, it's the southeast. Well, no, it's the southeast.

1421
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: Directionally speaking, it never changes from south. It changes. No,

1422
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: you would say it is to my northwest because of

1423
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: the way that I'm sitting, but no, no, not norally speaking,

1424
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 1: it is the southeast to me because I'm facing you directly,

1425
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:03,600
Speaker 1: my upper left would be my northwest. Well, when I

1426
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 1: said that, they were facing your computer screen. So then,

1427
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 1: so that's why I said, you always go with where

1428
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 1: it sits geographically speaking on the globe.

1429
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 3: That's the west, southeast, the southwest, northeast, whatever corner doesn't

1430
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 3: get a ton of sunlight there.

1431
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 1: That's the only spot I'm worried about. But we're supposed

1432
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 1: to get some nice timpsy listen, and so you know,

1433
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 1: I simply said the last spot. You should have taken

1434
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: that into it. I know, I know, you know what

1435
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:31,680
Speaker 1: I mean. I know, do we have, Kyle, because.

1436
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 7: You sound we have lost and clueless, so we bring

1437
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 7: on Crown, then rip from the.

1438
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:37,640
Speaker 1: You sound a little lost and clueless. When it came

1439
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: to discussing exactly that, he joins us on the Java

1440
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 1: House Peel and Poor guest line. Java House amazingly smooth

1441
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 1: Columbian coffee. They also have, of course, the Liquid Science

1442
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:49,599
Speaker 1: Hydration beverage or the Wrangler Energy along with their teas.

1443
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 1: I had a Peachta last night. It was fantastic. All

1444
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: of it available. You can enter the fan at Java

1445
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 1: House dot com to see the Querry bundle that has

1446
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 1: all the beverages Jake twenty five for twenty five percent off. Kyle,

1447
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 1: I am prepared to make a statement that makes me

1448
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,720
Speaker 1: sound like a moron. You ready, Yes? Can you also

1449
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: tell it's Friday and we're okay? Here is my statement?

1450
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 1: What's that? Ask some if you could tell it's Friday

1451
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 1: and we're kind of fed up with one another? That's right? Sorry,

1452
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:21,679
Speaker 1: I actually had my mute button hit there. Okay, Kyle,

1453
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:24,080
Speaker 1: here's my statement that's potentially going to make me sound

1454
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 1: like a moron. There is a local Indiana high school

1455
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,799
Speaker 1: basketball team that has the potential to set and continue

1456
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 1: to break records on a win streak. But then I thought,

1457
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should say that because they

1458
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 1: may have lost since I last saw and followed the story.

1459
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: Am I still with an accuracy of that statement? Or

1460
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 1: am I totally off base?

1461
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 4: No?

1462
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 7: You're right, you talking about Fishers, right. They have not

1463
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:50,799
Speaker 7: played since that ran. They played tonight, they play Franklin

1464
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 7: Central and then Carmel tomorrow. The last team to beat

1465
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 7: them in the regular season is Carmel, So that was

1466
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 7: two years ago.

1467
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: So this is forty six straight regular season wins, correct.

1468
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, And it kind of flies under the radar

1469
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 7: a little bit because you think about the overall winning

1470
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 7: streaks and not necessarily the regular season. So decided to

1471
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,640
Speaker 7: do some digging and figure out where they stood, and

1472
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 7: they're basically on the brink of the They are I

1473
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 7: think tied for ninth or tenth, but about the you know,

1474
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:22,560
Speaker 7: could pass some more teams if they can get a

1475
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 7: couple more week wins this weekend.

1476
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 1: And the all time record is how many games?

1477
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 7: The all time record seventy six by the Argos teams

1478
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 7: of the late seventies early eighties. That you know, that

1479
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 7: was the seventy nineteen went to the Final four, and

1480
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 7: it actually went on until eighty one when they finally

1481
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 7: had that seventy six games streak snapped, which is pretty

1482
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 7: incredible to go on that long. So still a long

1483
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 7: way to go for Fishers to even get to that point.

1484
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 1: It's kind of surprising that Lawrence North did not break that. Right.

1485
01:16:58,840 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 4: Well, the.

1486
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 7: You know, the problem, you know, call it a problem

1487
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 7: or whatever. The schedules for like the four A teams

1488
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:09,760
Speaker 7: around here are just so tough. I think that that

1489
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:13,600
Speaker 7: that's why you haven't seen it happen, you know, and

1490
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 7: and honestly, what you know, that kind of makes this

1491
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 7: streak Fishers on even even you know, more remarkable, I

1492
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 7: would say, because there's there's bound to be a night here,

1493
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 7: you know, got to be at some point where they're

1494
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 7: not playing their best or you know, you're you're missing,

1495
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,679
Speaker 7: you're you're missing somebody like they have been missing Jason

1496
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 7: Gardner and they've still gone and done this. But but yeah,

1497
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:37,719
Speaker 7: the Lawrence North teams they had, you know, they obviously

1498
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:41,120
Speaker 7: did have a long streak winning streak and you know

1499
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 7: they they hold the you know, the record for the

1500
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:49,040
Speaker 7: longest streak actually in Bloomington South almost beat that.

1501
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 4: During the roles.

1502
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, Jordan holes D Davis and those guys, and they can't.

1503
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 7: They got upset by Jeffersonville. Actually, I remember being a

1504
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 7: Hinkle that night and hearing they lost was like, man,

1505
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 7: that's because I thought they were going to break the streak.

1506
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 7: But but yeah, that was those teams came close, and

1507
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,640
Speaker 7: obviously the Oscar Robertson Atticts teams had it for a

1508
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 7: long time at the forty five game streak. But but yeah, fifty,

1509
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,559
Speaker 7: you know, fifty by Lawrence North is the overall mark.

1510
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 1: By the way. On a side note, Kyle, I'll let

1511
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 1: you join in on this as well. One of my

1512
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 1: favorite little anecdotes you mentioned an upset. Do you know

1513
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: the origin of the term upset?

1514
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:29,599
Speaker 5: I should.

1515
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:30,639
Speaker 4: I don't think I do.

1516
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 1: Do you know, Eddie, I do not. Upset was the

1517
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:39,719
Speaker 1: only racehorse to defeat Man of War in the nineteen teens,

1518
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:44,360
Speaker 1: So the term, thank you, that's that's a brain drop. Yes,

1519
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: the term upset originated by the fact that you know,

1520
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 1: people would reference like man that was like when that

1521
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,839
Speaker 1: horse Upset beat Man of War and then Booman became upset.

1522
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,559
Speaker 7: Anyway, I thought you were leading me down a path

1523
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 7: with like some pirate joke or something.

1524
01:18:56,280 --> 01:19:00,639
Speaker 1: But oh well, thanks, thank you for mentioning it. That's correct.

1525
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 1: Why Kyle, Why?

1526
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 4: Why why did I do that?

1527
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 1: Listen, here's the thing, Kyle. The pirate stuff's catchy, isn't it?

1528
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:10,439
Speaker 1: Kind of like I don't know if you heard this yesterday,

1529
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 1: but I've come up. Are you familiar with the you

1530
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: know you're around you know, high school athletics and games,

1531
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you hear kids using the six seventh thing, right,

1532
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 1: it's and that's played out, isn't it the six seventh

1533
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 1: thing that's over right?

1534
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1535
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 7: I mean I I do it now because I know

1536
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 7: my kids.

1537
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 4: I think it's stupid. So but yeah, other than that,

1538
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 4: it's definitely.

1539
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean, most people want to eighty six sixty seven. So,

1540
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,639
Speaker 1: and what I said was the new thing is this.

1541
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 1: And you can use this with your kids if you

1542
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: want to, you know, bond and feel cool with them.

1543
01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 1: But if you're if you're talking to your friends and

1544
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 1: somebody says, what are you guys talking about? You say,

1545
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 1: we're just speaking in QR QR. And that means because

1546
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:49,599
Speaker 1: when you go to a restaurant and they say here.

1547
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 1: If you'd like to see our menu, you can use

1548
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 1: your phone and use the QR code. So if you

1549
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 1: want people to know you're speaking in code, you just

1550
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 1: say you're speaking in QR. But then if your extra hip,

1551
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:02,160
Speaker 1: then you just say q are afterwards. And I created

1552
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 1: this yesterday, and you might have noticed that it's a

1553
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:06,800
Speaker 1: little bit warmer outside, but there's also the wind of

1554
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: this sweeping through the area of people talking about getting

1555
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:12,960
Speaker 1: hit with it. You want to use that, I think

1556
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:19,679
Speaker 1: I might, Yeah, yes, yes, se see Kyle, Kyle Mendripp

1557
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:22,759
Speaker 1: knows Listen, he's going out and he's covering high school basketball.

1558
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: He's covering players. He knows great when he sees it, right,

1559
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: he knows great when he sees it and when he

1560
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,800
Speaker 1: hears it. Speaking of that, give me players that are

1561
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 1: off to because Kyle, we haven't a chance to talk

1562
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 1: to you a lot during the basketball season. Name a

1563
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:38,719
Speaker 1: player or two for me that are enjoying a season

1564
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 1: maybe beyond what was even expected of them to this

1565
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: point this year.

1566
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 7: Well, I would say, you know, I just kind of

1567
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 7: did a little thing the other day about mister basketball candidates,

1568
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 7: and I think we, you know, probably expected these players

1569
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 7: to do well, but you know, Luke Gerdle Noah's men,

1570
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 7: and Luke Gerdle, I think's gotten a lot of you know,

1571
01:20:58,120 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 7: I think people knew he was a mister basketball camp

1572
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:01,800
Speaker 7: that coming in from Mount Vernon, had a great year

1573
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 7: last year going to Purdue, and he's definitely lived up

1574
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:08,720
Speaker 7: to the billing this year. But Noah Smith from Plainfield

1575
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 7: is really has played exceptional throughout this year. And Plainfield's

1576
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 7: one of those teams that you know, they're sixteen and one,

1577
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:20,000
Speaker 7: ranked number three in the state right now, so you know,

1578
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 7: not that they're flying under the radar, but you know,

1579
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 7: people may not realize how good they really are. And

1580
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 7: they beat Lawrence North by three about a week and

1581
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:32,600
Speaker 7: a half ago. Lawrence North is coming off that county championship.

1582
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 7: But Smith that he had sixteen of his twenty eight

1583
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:37,800
Speaker 7: in the second half that night and you know, really

1584
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:38,760
Speaker 7: outstanding game.

1585
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 4: And then the season he's happened.

1586
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:43,800
Speaker 7: So far so and then the Kenby Shaw from Crown Point,

1587
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 7: not in our local area here, but he's played a

1588
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 7: lot of teams from down here. Went to the Hall

1589
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 7: of Fame and had a really good tournament there, and

1590
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:56,480
Speaker 7: I think he deserves to be in that category of

1591
01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:00,639
Speaker 7: candidates that you really highly consider for that as well.

1592
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:06,760
Speaker 7: He's he's averaging a little over twenty one twenty two

1593
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 7: a game so far this year and really efficient as

1594
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 7: far as that goes as well, shooting almost sixty percent

1595
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 7: from the field, and a really good rebounder as well.

1596
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 7: So you know, those three guys I think, and then

1597
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 7: there's some others you could consider as well.

1598
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:22,680
Speaker 4: There's a kid named Blake Neil down in Bloomfield, a.

1599
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:26,519
Speaker 7: Smaller school, but he's well over twenty six points a game,

1600
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 7: over two thousand for his career. I don't know if

1601
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 7: you'll get Mister Basketball votes or not, but I think

1602
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 7: definitely deserving of an Indian All Star high consideration.

1603
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 4: And he's also having a great year.

1604
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:40,160
Speaker 7: But you know, those are a few kind of up

1605
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 7: top of my mind that have really been standing out

1606
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 7: so far this season.

1607
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: Kyle need Rep is my guest Java House Pielaporg guest

1608
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:48,920
Speaker 1: line is where you're hearing his voice. He's with The

1609
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Star. Kyle, I know you've got a story coming

1610
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 1: out Monday that you've been working on that is one

1611
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 1: of those that we like, you know, stories of kids

1612
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: that just have their adversity, they're back against the wall

1613
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 1: and they find a way. And you know, I'll let

1614
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:07,280
Speaker 1: people wait until Monday to read what you have coming

1615
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 1: out for that. But you have the unique perspective and

1616
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 1: ability to go out and you're at different games and

1617
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:16,600
Speaker 1: you're covering sports, whether it be basketball or you know,

1618
01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 1: during the football season. And I like to ask you

1619
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 1: this every once in a while, whether it's a team

1620
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:27,719
Speaker 1: that is overcoming some challenges or an individual player that's

1621
01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 1: having a good year, and you look at it and

1622
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,720
Speaker 1: you say, if people knew the backstory of everything that

1623
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 1: went into this, they would be truly moved by it.

1624
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't mean the one you're talking about that you're

1625
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:39,120
Speaker 1: going to be running on Monday. What jumps out, if

1626
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,880
Speaker 1: anything to you, either from a team or player standpoint

1627
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: in that regard.

1628
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:46,080
Speaker 7: Well, the one you're talking about, it's a great one,

1629
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:49,840
Speaker 7: a great example of that exactly. And I'll, you know,

1630
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 7: kind of wait, it is a really cool story, and

1631
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 7: I think people will be be interested to read about

1632
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:59,559
Speaker 7: it and hear more about it. You know, but there

1633
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 7: are there are some teams that that you know, have

1634
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 7: you know, maybe maybe played better than expected, or you know,

1635
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 7: maybe have been off the radar, and I think, you know,

1636
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:10,880
Speaker 7: and one that I hope to get into a little

1637
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 7: bit more is is short Ridge, which is eight and

1638
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 7: six so far this year, and have a really outstanding

1639
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 7: couple of players that that are you know, having good

1640
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 7: seasons and they're their team. And I don't know, people

1641
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 7: remember so a few weeks ago Fishers was had just

1642
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 7: lost Gardner to that hand injury, unfortunately, and the next

1643
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 7: day short Ridge played Fishers to a two point game.

1644
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 7: You know, it's sixty four sixty two at short Ridge

1645
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 7: on I think it was in late December, you know,

1646
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:43,599
Speaker 7: right before Christmas. And you know, I think that kind

1647
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:45,960
Speaker 7: of opened up some people's eyes to you know, how

1648
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:46,559
Speaker 7: good that.

1649
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:47,320
Speaker 4: Team can be.

1650
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 7: And if you were what happened to Fishers that it

1651
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 7: turned out, you know, Shortage pretty good team, and you know,

1652
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 7: they played a tough schedule, they have good wins. They

1653
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,719
Speaker 7: beat Ritter, you know, they beat Greenfield Central. They played

1654
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 7: Pipe really close, you know, in three quarters of that game,

1655
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 7: and then Pike kind of blew it open to one

1656
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 7: by fifteen, which is not you know, not bad at

1657
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:11,560
Speaker 7: all considering how talented Pike is this season. But you know,

1658
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 7: I think they're a team you know when you and

1659
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 7: unfortunately they're not in the City Tournament. They're because of

1660
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 7: some of their other sports, they're not part of the

1661
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:21,559
Speaker 7: City Alliance, so they're not in the I would have

1662
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 7: loved to see how they would have done in the

1663
01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:27,680
Speaker 7: city this year, and the City was a better a

1664
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 7: better showing, I would say this year ritter And and

1665
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:34,200
Speaker 7: Saccinia both gave Cathedral a pretty tough game, but I

1666
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 7: would have liked to see how they could play there.

1667
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 7: And I think I think really in the tournament they're

1668
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 7: going to have a chance to do some damage. But

1669
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 7: you know, so those those two players up to write

1670
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 7: about them a little bit more of Elijah Wilson is

1671
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 7: averaging over twenty five a game and TJ. Davis had

1672
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 7: a huge week last week.

1673
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 4: Also he's a.

1674
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:52,760
Speaker 7: Junior only, so we'll be back next year, but he's

1675
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:56,599
Speaker 7: over sixteen points a game and in pretty high end

1676
01:25:56,600 --> 01:26:00,160
Speaker 7: rebounds also about seven point five. So those two guys

1677
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 7: deserving of mentioned. I think in that shortage team for sure,

1678
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 7: they're you know, they're eight and six, but a better

1679
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 7: team I think than their record shows. And I think

1680
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 7: in that three A sectional they're going to be a handful,

1681
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 7: but also have Cathedral and Addicts in there too, So

1682
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 7: it's a tough sectional, but maybe a team to it

1683
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 7: could be a sleeper pick about a month from now

1684
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:21,400
Speaker 7: when the sectional starts.

1685
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:23,680
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, short Ridge is always a

1686
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: cool story in its own right, just because of the

1687
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 1: history of the school, and in addition to that, Kyle,

1688
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 1: that the history of kind of reclaiming that school, if

1689
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 1: you will, you know what I mean, It's been a

1690
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 1: middle school then back to a high school, and you know,

1691
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 1: some of the things that it has to offer. It

1692
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 1: historically speaking, Shortridge has as rich a history as any

1693
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:43,679
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. And so to see it back where kids

1694
01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:45,120
Speaker 1: can kind of push their chest out a little bit

1695
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:46,719
Speaker 1: about going to school, there's pretty cool to see.

1696
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:51,640
Speaker 7: Absolutely, yeah. And I think it's you know, the unfortunately

1697
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 7: in the city. You know, and I know you know this,

1698
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 7: but even when I was first covering it, you know,

1699
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:59,520
Speaker 7: you had all these schools that you know, the the Arlington's,

1700
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 7: the how the you know, there was just all this

1701
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 7: you know, Northwest Broad Ripple, you know, these schools that

1702
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 7: had so much history, especially in basketball, you know, and

1703
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:11,559
Speaker 7: and you lost that when those schools closed and have.

1704
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:12,679
Speaker 4: Gone away manual.

1705
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:14,600
Speaker 7: You know, it is another one and I kind of

1706
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 7: got in on the tail end of that, but they

1707
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 7: were all still really good when I was covering it

1708
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 7: when I first got here, And you know, you go

1709
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 7: to the city now and all the schools are not

1710
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:24,120
Speaker 7: there anymore, and you lose out on that, you know,

1711
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 7: and I think in basketball more than any sport definitely,

1712
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 7: But but yeah, so it's good to see shortage and

1713
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:33,639
Speaker 7: you know, I'm hoping they you know, they end up.

1714
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 4: Having a good year.

1715
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 7: And I think they, you know, under u you know,

1716
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:39,720
Speaker 7: the last couple of years and Ryan mulcrone's been the

1717
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:41,640
Speaker 7: coach there and they seem to have it headed in

1718
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:44,680
Speaker 7: the right direction. So uh so be be curious to

1719
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 7: have how they close this year out and continue on.

1720
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:49,679
Speaker 1: So, Kyle, what games will you be keeping an eye

1721
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 1: on this weekend before we read your story coming up

1722
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:52,799
Speaker 1: on Monday.

1723
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it'll be uh it's a Saturday, kind of

1724
01:27:57,080 --> 01:28:00,200
Speaker 7: a heavy Saturday week I mentioned that Fisher's Carmel game

1725
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 7: of Saturday night, that'll be a really good one. Carlos

1726
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 7: having a really good year obviously, and Fisher's is too.

1727
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 7: I'm going to head out to Sheridan tonight to see

1728
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:12,880
Speaker 7: the Blackhawks play. They're ten and two so far this year,

1729
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 7: and then we'll have, uh, we'll have coverage of other

1730
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 7: games also in addition to those. But but yeah, it

1731
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:22,600
Speaker 7: should be another good weekend of basketball. And looks like

1732
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:26,160
Speaker 7: the weather's going to hold up and it's gonna be cold, but.

1733
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 4: The games go on, So that's that's a good thing.

1734
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 1: This might be be you mentioned, Sheridan, Kyle, this might

1735
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,519
Speaker 1: be one of those things that I saw in a dream.

1736
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:39,840
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm totally off base here, but I thought I

1737

1784
01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:48,640

1805
01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:48,320

1806
01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:50,559
Speaker 1: going on. You can't hear it because of the sound

1807
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:54,479
Speaker 1: of the events sweeping the city. A couple of news

1808
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:55,880
Speaker 1: and notes, Kevin bow I'm going to join us just

1809
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,599
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes from now. Earlier today, the President

1810
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump issuing anything executive order more kind of theatrical

1811
01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:07,599
Speaker 1: than anything, I guess in announcing that August twenty first,

1812
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:10,000
Speaker 1: twenty second, and twenty third, so the weekend of August

1813
01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:14,599
Speaker 1: twenty third, it will be the Indy Car America two

1814
01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:17,760
Speaker 1: fifty Grand Prix. This is all in celebration of the

1815
01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:20,439
Speaker 1: two hundred and fiftieth year of the United States. The

1816
01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:24,880
Speaker 1: race will take place in Washington, d C. Utilizing Pennsylvania

1817
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:28,439
Speaker 1: Avenue as well as the Mall and the Monuments of

1818
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:31,680
Speaker 1: d C. Now that means obviously a very short timeframe

1819
01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:34,880
Speaker 1: of which to logistically put that together, although I would

1820
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:37,519
Speaker 1: assume the design and other such things of the track

1821
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:40,400
Speaker 1: have already been studied, but there's a lot that goes

1822
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:47,280
Speaker 1: into that, the building of temporary walls for the circuit itself, fencing, security,

1823
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:49,880
Speaker 1: et cetera. Early word is, and obviously we've been on

1824
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 1: the air, so I haven't read this the total specifics

1825
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:54,479
Speaker 1: of it, but the early word is that it would

1826
01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:58,960
Speaker 1: be a free event in Washington, d C. And Roger

1827
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 1: Pensken and I believe executives from the Fox Corporation were

1828
01:33:02,160 --> 01:33:07,360
Speaker 1: there for the announcement. And I will tell you, as

1829
01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:12,920
Speaker 1: someone who works as a contracted employee of IndyCar, while

1830
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:15,640
Speaker 1: there had been that discussion or that word that this

1831
01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 1: was a possibility, we were never told that this was

1832
01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:23,120
Speaker 1: in fact a finality. But it appears as though that

1833
01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:26,320
Speaker 1: all systems are going towards trying to get this event underway.

1834
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:30,600
Speaker 1: The other thing that is allegedly linked to it is

1835
01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:34,040
Speaker 1: that that would mean that Milwaukee becomes a single race

1836
01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:36,920
Speaker 1: instead of a doubleheader. So we'll see what that means

1837
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:42,360
Speaker 1: for the Milwaukee event. Also Minnesota the Vikings are in

1838
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:45,840
Speaker 1: search of a new general manager. They made that announcement

1839
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:48,759
Speaker 1: earlier today. Keep in mind their assistant GM is Ryan Grigson.

1840
01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:53,080
Speaker 1: We'll see what that means in terms of his placement

1841
01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:53,960
Speaker 1: within the Vikings.

1842
01:33:54,040 --> 01:33:59,640
Speaker 3: Yes, say one another thing to add earlier today Alexa

1843
01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:04,120
Speaker 3: phil who with ESPN she covers all things women's basketball

1844
01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:08,280
Speaker 3: at WNBA College. She tweeted at about eleven thirty this

1845
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 3: morning that Kelsey Plum says that there will be a

1846
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:13,960
Speaker 3: player meeting with the league on Monday in New York

1847
01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 3: City to try to hash things out to make some

1848
01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 3: progress on a collective bargaining agreement between the WNBA and

1849
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:23,160
Speaker 3: the players Association.

1850
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:24,479
Speaker 1: She said.

1851
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:27,200
Speaker 3: Kelsey Plum did that not everyone can make it, but

1852
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:30,960
Speaker 3: she did mention that the FISA Collier will also attend,

1853
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:33,240
Speaker 3: and she is hoping that some owners will be there

1854
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:36,960
Speaker 3: as well. The hope is here from Kelsey Plum is

1855
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:39,320
Speaker 3: that being able to communicate face to face with manage

1856
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:44,120
Speaker 3: it management will help conversations move forward. Because we are

1857
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 3: just about two and a half months, three months away

1858
01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:50,720
Speaker 3: from the start of the WNBA season, Jake, and it

1859
01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 3: would be a real shame if they can't come to

1860
01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:55,000
Speaker 3: an agreement on a CBA. With all the progress they've

1861
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:56,160
Speaker 3: made the last two years.

1862
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:58,840
Speaker 1: I totally agree with that. In the arc if you will,

1863
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:01,559
Speaker 1: a popularity or I balls to the sport, and a

1864
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 1: lot of that of course, epicentered right here in Indianapolis

1865
01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 1: with Caitlin Clark, Kevin Bowen Morning Show, Fan Morning Show,

1866
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:10,439
Speaker 1: you hear him with James Boyd, Jeff Rickard and as

1867
01:35:10,479 --> 01:35:13,280
Speaker 1: we get set for the Super Bowl, and also look

1868
01:35:13,360 --> 01:35:16,639
Speaker 1: towards some phone calls being made to West fifty six

1869
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:19,800
Speaker 1: Lot to discuss with Kevin, We'll do it next. A

1870
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:21,600
Speaker 1: true story. I had a friend that went to the

1871
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:28,160
Speaker 1: University of Michigan and Chris Weber's phone number was in

1872
01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:30,720
Speaker 1: the like student directory, and so during the time that

1873
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:33,440
Speaker 1: it was they were curious if Weber would be foregoing

1874
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:37,519
Speaker 1: his final two years of eligibility at Michigan. Friend called him.

1875
01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:40,920
Speaker 1: They called him on the phone one night and played

1876
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:43,479
Speaker 1: that song when Chris Weber answered the phone, to which

1877
01:35:43,560 --> 01:35:46,760
Speaker 1: Chris Weber said, and I quote, or at least if

1878
01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:49,680
Speaker 1: I remember the quote correctly, thirty plus years later, what

1879
01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:53,080
Speaker 1: do you think I'd do? And they're like, yeah, okay,

1880
01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 1: And a couple days later it was announced Chris Webber

1881
01:35:56,400 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 1: was on his way to becoming the number one pick

1882
01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:01,280
Speaker 1: in the NBA draft. Good after didn't you on a Friday?

1883
01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:03,920
Speaker 1: Jake Quarry along with Eddie Garrison It is quarrying company

1884
01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:06,439
Speaker 1: here on ninety three five and one oh seven five

1885
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:09,080
Speaker 1: the fan where Over the course of today I have

1886
01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:13,439
Speaker 1: been working feverishly and Eddie has reluctantly been accepting my

1887
01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:16,680
Speaker 1: tutelage of making him a little more a little more

1888
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:21,280
Speaker 1: young with the lingo. Nope, well not at all. Listen.

1889
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:26,040
Speaker 1: How disappointed are you going to be if you get

1890
01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:31,080
Speaker 1: home and your girlfriend Olivia is talking about something and

1891
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:33,240
Speaker 1: you say, what's that? And she says, am I speaking

1892
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:36,719
Speaker 1: to QR? Q Are that would require her to listen

1893
01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:42,040
Speaker 1: to the show? Jake? Okay? And you're saying you don't

1894
01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:42,800
Speaker 1: believe that she does.

1895
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:47,040
Speaker 3: I know because she is currently at at her job teaching,

1896
01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:49,160
Speaker 3: So okay, fair enough teaching.

1897
01:36:49,280 --> 01:36:49,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1898
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:51,160
Speaker 4: What group?

1899
01:36:51,240 --> 01:36:56,280
Speaker 1: What age? Freshman at Greenwood? Oh, I've bet a lot

1900
01:36:56,320 --> 01:37:01,559
Speaker 1: of kids in the back are speaking in QR. No okay, No,

1901
01:37:02,880 --> 01:37:04,439
Speaker 1: you just wait till she comes home and says, I

1902
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:07,839
Speaker 1: heard the weirdest thing at school today. No, okay, not happening.

1903
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:11,080
Speaker 1: Joining us now in the Java House Peelaport guest line.

1904
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:13,200
Speaker 1: You hear him in the mornings along with James Boyd,

1905
01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:17,760
Speaker 1: jeff Rickord. He is Kevin Bowen. Kevin, I'll begin with

1906
01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:19,880
Speaker 1: this the NFL news of the day. I don't know

1907
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:21,800
Speaker 1: if you saw it or not. In Minnesota. Kind of

1908
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:25,840
Speaker 1: a peculiar time because usually changes come right at the

1909
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 1: end of the year or you know, end of the

1910
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:31,840
Speaker 1: season when a team's season ends. But the Vikings are

1911
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:34,960
Speaker 1: moving on from the general manager spot, that means they

1912
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:37,960
Speaker 1: have an opening. Ryan Grigson was the assistant GM. I

1913
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:41,600
Speaker 1: don't know what that means for him, but do you

1914
01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:43,759
Speaker 1: think this may have something to do with the Vikings

1915
01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 1: having to look and see Sam Darnold in the Super

1916
01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:49,640
Speaker 1: Bowl and Daniel Jones having played well for Indianapolis and

1917
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:51,120
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy struggling.

1918
01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:54,200
Speaker 5: Love the Chris Weber story.

1919
01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:56,920
Speaker 8: I will pray for Eddie, as I do pretty much

1920
01:37:56,920 --> 01:38:01,680
Speaker 8: on a daily basis. Yeah, that was, And honestly, you

1921
01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:04,479
Speaker 8: bring up Gregson, you know, I remember Gregson was fired

1922
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:08,040
Speaker 8: pretty deep into January as well. It was definitely like

1923
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:11,520
Speaker 8: a three ish weeks after.

1924
01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:14,240
Speaker 5: The season ended. He is still the assistant GM.

1925
01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:16,960
Speaker 8: There I believe if I read the press release correct, though,

1926
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:20,439
Speaker 8: they have somebody else that's running the show through the draft,

1927
01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:24,160
Speaker 8: some like VP of Football Hops. So I don't know

1928
01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:27,559
Speaker 8: exactly what it means for Gregson per se. But yeah,

1929
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:30,200
Speaker 8: obviously when you bring up to Daniel Jones point, you know,

1930
01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:32,520
Speaker 8: I think that's an interesting one because.

1931
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 5: I believe I could be wrong with this.

1932
01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:37,160
Speaker 8: I believe Minnesota actually offered more money than Indy did

1933
01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:40,160
Speaker 8: for Daniel Jones this past year, and I think Daniel

1934
01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:43,240
Speaker 8: Jones very understandably look at and said, you know whatever,

1935
01:38:43,360 --> 01:38:46,439
Speaker 8: fifteen million versus twelve million, whatever the numbers were, I

1936
01:38:46,439 --> 01:38:47,280
Speaker 8: have no idea they were.

1937
01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:49,360
Speaker 5: Where's the shoulder leash?

1938
01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 8: And obviously Anthony Richardson's leash was quite short and JJ

1939
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:56,800
Speaker 8: McCarthy's much longer, So I think he made obviously the

1940
01:38:56,880 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 8: right decision on that. But I wonder, yeah, point, if

1941
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:03,640
Speaker 8: that's some in the disagreement, it's Kevin O'Connell and that

1942
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:06,200
Speaker 8: coaching staff might have been more inclined to, you know whatever,

1943
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:08,000
Speaker 8: either want to bring back Donald, they want to bring

1944
01:39:08,040 --> 01:39:12,000
Speaker 8: back Jones. And you know how much of Jajon McCarthy

1945
01:39:12,080 --> 01:39:15,200
Speaker 8: with a high draft pick, was part of the decision here.

1946
01:39:15,320 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 1: Can we learn? Kevin and I talked about this a

1947
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:20,680
Speaker 1: little bit over the course of the week, certainly at

1948
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:23,600
Speaker 1: the beginning of the week. If you look at Seattle

1949
01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:28,080
Speaker 1: and it's a copycat league to a great extent. But

1950
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:30,880
Speaker 1: with Seattle and what they've done in going out and

1951
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:35,040
Speaker 1: getting Donald and Darnald, to his credit, has played at

1952
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:37,400
Speaker 1: a high level. And you know he's and he did

1953
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:41,400
Speaker 1: a year ago. Now he has some untimely turnovers and

1954
01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:44,519
Speaker 1: he's avoided that to an extent. But is there any

1955
01:39:44,600 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 1: blueprint that Seattle has shown that the Colts can kind

1956
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 1: of replicate or maybe even we're on the path to

1957
01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:54,680
Speaker 1: replicating if Daniel Jones doesn't get hurt. Do they have

1958
01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:58,639
Speaker 1: as good a cast around Jones as Seattle has built

1959
01:39:58,640 --> 01:39:59,160
Speaker 1: for Darnald.

1960
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:05,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'd say no on that aspect, particularly defensively. You know,

1961
01:40:06,040 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 8: Jackson Smith a JIGBA, you know, is definitely in a

1962
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:13,519
Speaker 8: different wide out level. But yeah, specifically on the defensive

1963
01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:14,200
Speaker 8: side of the ball.

1964
01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:15,040
Speaker 5: You know, I think one thing that.

1965
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:18,280
Speaker 8: Sayds out to me about Seattle, Jake is like, you know,

1966
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:20,600
Speaker 8: I go back to I guess I go back to

1967
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:23,479
Speaker 8: carl or say Gordon's question for Chris Ballard, the the

1968
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:27,000
Speaker 8: top question for her GM was you know, do you

1969
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:30,559
Speaker 8: still have the juju or the h or the shimmy?

1970
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:32,160
Speaker 8: Was that the right where I think I think you

1971
01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 8: said or shimmer?

1972
01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:35,960
Speaker 5: Right? Do you have the do you have the shimmer still?

1973
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 8: And I you know, Seattle, I guess asked out of

1974
01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:43,080
Speaker 8: Pete Carroll a couple of years ago. And you know,

1975
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:46,040
Speaker 8: whether Pete Carroll's answer was you know what they wanted

1976
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:49,040
Speaker 8: to hear or not. They decided that despite you know,

1977
01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:51,920
Speaker 8: this guy having a great, you know, NFL run for us,

1978
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:54,559
Speaker 8: and he really had a very very strong ten year

1979
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:56,640
Speaker 8: run there, and if I'm not mistaken, I want to

1980
01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:59,840
Speaker 8: say they had winning seasons each of his final two

1981
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:04,439
Speaker 8: years there, they still decided, Hey, we're gonna we're gonna

1982
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:06,680
Speaker 8: make a change. So I've got to something that's a

1983
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:10,200
Speaker 8: little different here. Uh, you know, from an organizational standpoint,

1984
01:41:10,200 --> 01:41:12,880
Speaker 8: if you want to look at it from the top down,

1985
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:15,519
Speaker 8: and you know, honestly, New England, if you want to

1986
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:17,920
Speaker 8: look at them too, you know, they had a beloved

1987
01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:21,040
Speaker 8: player in Geron Meyo take over for Belichick and after

1988
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:25,160
Speaker 8: one year they said enough was enough, which you know

1989
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:28,479
Speaker 8: is a kind of Nate Burekronny approach like the Pacers, Hey,

1990
01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:31,439
Speaker 8: enough is enough, and you know, not every you know

1991
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:34,120
Speaker 8: higher after one year it turns into Rick Carlisle Mike Rabel.

1992
01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:36,680
Speaker 8: But you know, obviously it worked out very very well

1993
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:39,320
Speaker 8: for both of those franchises and in how you look at.

1994
01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:40,920
Speaker 5: It, whereas the Colts has been a little bit more

1995
01:41:40,920 --> 01:41:43,479
Speaker 5: of a no, no, no, we're gonna hold onto things.

1996
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:45,479
Speaker 5: We believe, you know, all of that stuff.

1997
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:50,000
Speaker 1: Do you think there's the possibility, Kevin, that the Colts

1998
01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 1: could try to get theirselves get themselves back in the

1999
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:53,040
Speaker 1: round one.

2000
01:41:57,160 --> 01:41:59,360
Speaker 8: That's a good question. I haven't given a ton of thought.

2001
01:41:59,400 --> 01:42:03,639
Speaker 8: I would probably say no, I don't. I mean, where

2002
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:05,760
Speaker 8: are they. They're in the middle of round two, right

2003
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:09,160
Speaker 8: or you know a little bit. Yeah, I don't know

2004
01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:11,240
Speaker 8: where exactly the ticket is, but whatever, they're in the

2005
01:42:11,240 --> 01:42:12,040
Speaker 8: middle of round two.

2006
01:42:12,920 --> 01:42:15,160
Speaker 5: Boys, that's quite a leap, I don't.

2007
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:19,760
Speaker 8: I mean, maybe if you've moved a player, you could

2008
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:23,120
Speaker 8: get maybe an additional second rounder. It'd have to be

2009
01:42:23,160 --> 01:42:25,280
Speaker 8: a very marquee player, and then maybe you try to

2010
01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:28,840
Speaker 8: package something together and get into the back in round one.

2011
01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:33,080
Speaker 8: But I mean, I would think just as an organization.

2012
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 8: You would only do that for quarterback. I don't think

2013
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:39,040
Speaker 8: they view their quarterback need that dire. I don't know

2014
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:43,519
Speaker 8: if their quarterback situation, paired with this draft class meets

2015
01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:46,080
Speaker 8: stat criteria. You know, the team I think about the

2016
01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:49,720
Speaker 8: most that did that was Baltimore with Lamar Jackson that

2017
01:42:49,760 --> 01:42:52,000
Speaker 8: twenty eighteen draft, and you know, he was a pretty

2018
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:55,760
Speaker 8: polarizing prospect, you know, with a lot of debate and

2019
01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:57,760
Speaker 8: a very quarterback heavy draft class, and he was a

2020
01:42:57,800 --> 01:43:00,960
Speaker 8: fifth quarterback taken in the same Darnold draft, in the

2021
01:43:00,960 --> 01:43:02,040
Speaker 8: Baker Mayfield draft, in.

2022
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:03,880
Speaker 5: The Josh Allen Josh Rosen draft. There.

2023
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:07,519
Speaker 8: So I don't I don't think so to answer it,

2024
01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:11,559
Speaker 8: I just that's a lot and put through it your

2025
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:14,839
Speaker 8: pidou for a quarterback, I don't. Maybe there's an edge rusher,

2026
01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:16,280
Speaker 8: but no, I don't think so.

2027
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:20,080
Speaker 1: Do you think by the way, Kevin, you know, when

2028
01:43:20,120 --> 01:43:24,840
Speaker 1: you talk about the quarterback, I think we just have

2029
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:29,080
Speaker 1: this foregone conclusion or understanding that Daniel Jones is going

2030
01:43:29,120 --> 01:43:31,240
Speaker 1: to resign and come back, and I know, coming off

2031
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:35,640
Speaker 1: the injury, that would seemingly lock him in because I

2032
01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 1: don't know how many people would be knocking down his

2033
01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:40,040
Speaker 1: door but if we ruled out the pot, what if

2034
01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:45,720
Speaker 1: an Arizona Okay? Or let's say that the Raiders look

2035
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:48,400
Speaker 1: at it and say, you know what, you know, we

2036
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 1: love a different player number one overall, and we just

2037
01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:54,559
Speaker 1: don't know that Mendoza is a franchise quarterback. So we're

2038
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:57,559
Speaker 1: going to draft you know, whatever player at number one.

2039
01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:01,439
Speaker 1: And let's just take a liar that Daniel Jones is

2040
01:44:01,439 --> 01:44:04,280
Speaker 1: going to be healthy and throw a big number at him.

2041
01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 1: Are we certain that Indianapolis is going to Obviously I

2042
01:44:09,240 --> 01:44:11,479
Speaker 1: think he wants to be here, but do you think

2043
01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:14,160
Speaker 1: there's the possibility that some other team does make a

2044
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:17,200
Speaker 1: call on him?

2045
01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:20,360
Speaker 8: You know, honestly, when I saw the Minnesota news today,

2046
01:44:20,439 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 8: they were the team that kind of popped into my mind,

2047
01:44:22,560 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 8: just because Jones spent a couple months there.

2048
01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:28,240
Speaker 5: He speaks very glowingly off Kevin O'Connell.

2049
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:33,000
Speaker 8: And again, I believe Minnesota offered more than Indy last

2050
01:44:33,080 --> 01:44:35,760
Speaker 8: year in free agency. So you know, if you were

2051
01:44:35,760 --> 01:44:38,320
Speaker 8: in the Jones camp, do you look at things and

2052
01:44:38,439 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 8: you know whatever, Let's just play this out the hypothetical

2053
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:44,040
Speaker 8: if Minnesota were to offer you know, X amount of

2054
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:48,320
Speaker 8: million more this offseason, would he view it a little

2055
01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:52,160
Speaker 8: bit differently than he viewed it last last offseason, whereas

2056
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:53,559
Speaker 8: now he's like, oh wait a minute, I could go

2057
01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:57,479
Speaker 8: there and beat the starter. Now, you know, let's not

2058
01:44:57,560 --> 01:45:00,360
Speaker 8: diminish what the Colts did for him. I don't want

2059
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:03,840
Speaker 8: to lose sight of that. I think Daniel Jones very understandably,

2060
01:45:05,080 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 8: you know, is a big believer in change psyching, and

2061
01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:10,120
Speaker 8: you know, really appreciates obviously what played out here. I

2062
01:45:10,200 --> 01:45:14,040
Speaker 8: think from a lifestyle standpoint, the pace of you know,

2063
01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:17,160
Speaker 8: living in you know, the middle of Indianapolis is a

2064
01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 8: little different than living in New York City.

2065
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:21,320
Speaker 5: Not to say Minneapolis would be more of that speed.

2066
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:25,080
Speaker 8: But you know, if that again is a team that

2067
01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:27,840
Speaker 8: I have thought about, because it is odd.

2068
01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:30,120
Speaker 5: Jacob, You've been in this business a long long time.

2069
01:45:30,200 --> 01:45:34,559
Speaker 8: You typically don't see two sides of the leverage situation

2070
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:37,680
Speaker 8: both be so public and winning the marriage to continue.

2071
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:40,160
Speaker 8: Like you know, usually someone draws a little bit of

2072
01:45:40,160 --> 01:45:42,400
Speaker 8: at least a public line in the sand. You know,

2073
01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:45,439
Speaker 8: behind closed doors they might not you know, be as willing,

2074
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:47,639
Speaker 8: but you know, at least publicly they act like they're

2075
01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:49,320
Speaker 8: going to play hardball or deep down they really know

2076
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:51,320
Speaker 8: where they're going. To want to be when it's all

2077
01:45:51,360 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 8: said and done here. So I still assume he will

2078
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:54,479
Speaker 8: be back here.

2079
01:45:55,400 --> 01:45:56,120
Speaker 5: And I would.

2080
01:45:55,920 --> 01:45:58,519
Speaker 8: Assume also there's teams that would just would be hesitant

2081
01:45:58,560 --> 01:45:59,480
Speaker 8: about the Achilles.

2082
01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that would be the big thing. It almost

2083
01:46:04,439 --> 01:46:08,519
Speaker 1: felt like if there was the possibility that there would

2084
01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:10,800
Speaker 1: have to be a bidding war for Daniel Jones in

2085
01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:13,879
Speaker 1: the offseason, that the Achilles took that out of the equation.

2086
01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:16,600
Speaker 1: I just you can never rule out. I guess the

2087
01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 1: question I would have Kevin is do you think the

2088
01:46:19,320 --> 01:46:22,479
Speaker 1: Colts Would it be wise of the Colts to have

2089
01:46:22,600 --> 01:46:25,760
Speaker 1: a backup plan ready to go in the event that

2090
01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:28,599
Speaker 1: they are shocked and somebody comes in and swoops that away.

2091
01:46:29,600 --> 01:46:33,599
Speaker 8: Well, yes, But I also think, and this gets into

2092
01:46:33,640 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 8: a whole different sort of discussion, if you really, you know, whatever,

2093
01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:40,320
Speaker 8: you've met with Jones' representatives of the combine here in

2094
01:46:40,320 --> 01:46:42,000
Speaker 8: a few weeks, and all of a sudden you get

2095
01:46:42,040 --> 01:46:44,960
Speaker 8: depression that you're way off on what you think is

2096
01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:45,960
Speaker 8: the ballpark market.

2097
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:49,040
Speaker 5: You do have the franchise tag, which you know can

2098
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:49,559
Speaker 5: be used.

2099
01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:52,960
Speaker 8: Now, the franchise tag is a forty six million dollars guarantee.

2100
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:54,879
Speaker 8: So I mean that's a whole different can of worms.

2101
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:57,120
Speaker 8: But and again, in the back of my mind, I

2102
01:46:57,680 --> 01:46:59,240
Speaker 8: tend to think it makes more sense to use that

2103
01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:02,800
Speaker 8: on Alet Peers. So you know, if all hell breaks

2104
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:05,760
Speaker 8: loose and you're really in panic mode, you know you

2105
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:08,720
Speaker 8: could go with that that method if you would like.

2106
01:47:09,800 --> 01:47:11,719
Speaker 1: Kevin Bowen, my guest, you hear him in the morning

2107
01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:14,960
Speaker 1: of course on the Fan Morning Show with James Boyd

2108
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:18,439
Speaker 1: and jeff Rickord. Kevin. One of the things also, I

2109
01:47:18,479 --> 01:47:21,800
Speaker 1: know you guys have discussed it seems as though when

2110
01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 1: you're talking about free agency, I think we anticipate that

2111
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:28,840
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce is going to be coveted around the league,

2112
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:32,760
Speaker 1: But it also seems like this foregone conclusion that he

2113
01:47:32,840 --> 01:47:36,800
Speaker 1: will stay here. Am I being too bullish on that thought?

2114
01:47:36,880 --> 01:47:38,479
Speaker 1: And what do you think his number is going to be?

2115
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:41,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, And that's where I think the franchise ATAG makes

2116
01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:44,800
Speaker 8: sense because I think if you let him to the

2117
01:47:44,880 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 8: open market and you try to be competitive there, I

2118
01:47:49,320 --> 01:47:50,000
Speaker 8: think you're going to.

2119
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:52,240
Speaker 5: See some very big offers for him.

2120
01:47:52,479 --> 01:47:54,519
Speaker 8: You know, he's still in his prime, he's not had

2121
01:47:54,600 --> 01:47:55,479
Speaker 8: injury history.

2122
01:47:56,160 --> 01:47:56,320
Speaker 4: You know.

2123
01:47:56,400 --> 01:47:58,599
Speaker 5: Again, the thing about Pierce and I can hear.

2124
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:00,639
Speaker 8: People say, hey, he doesn't catch an up balls from

2125
01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:03,479
Speaker 8: im all, like, you know, okay, fine, but he had

2126
01:48:03,560 --> 01:48:06,240
Speaker 8: He possesses the hardest trait to find, in my opinion,

2127
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:08,160
Speaker 8: in the NFL for a receiver, and that is the

2128
01:48:08,200 --> 01:48:11,160
Speaker 8: ability to consistently make plays down the field. That's really

2129
01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:13,960
Speaker 8: where the NFL trend has gone defensively is you know,

2130
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:16,400
Speaker 8: we're gonna do anything and everything we can to eliminate

2131
01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:20,599
Speaker 8: the ability for teams to just you know, turn drives

2132
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:23,760
Speaker 8: into four plays and seventy two yards and you hit

2133
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:26,400
Speaker 8: a thirty yarder and twenty yarder and boom, now you're cooking.

2134
01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:29,960
Speaker 8: You know, the methodical driving down the field is a

2135
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 8: little bit more difficult for an offense to sustain. And

2136
01:48:33,120 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 8: so that's why when you look at Pittman versus Pierce

2137
01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:38,200
Speaker 8: for example, again, what's the harder trait to replace if

2138
01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:40,760
Speaker 8: it gets into that decision. To me, that's obvious the

2139
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:43,839
Speaker 8: hardest one to replace it would be Pierce's home run ability.

2140
01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 8: So you know, I've kind of been under depression, Jake

2141
01:48:47,320 --> 01:48:50,920
Speaker 8: that they would just franchise Tag Pierce, give Jones whatever.

2142
01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:53,080
Speaker 8: What Baker Mayfield got a few years ago, what Sam

2143
01:48:53,160 --> 01:48:55,840
Speaker 8: Darnold got a few years ago. You know, something along

2144
01:48:55,920 --> 01:48:58,680
Speaker 8: those lines is kind of how I look at it.

2145
01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:02,800
Speaker 8: But you know, if if all of a sudden they

2146
01:49:02,840 --> 01:49:04,720
Speaker 8: do want him to hit the open market again, I

2147
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:07,479
Speaker 8: think he would be very, very coveted. So that's a

2148
01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:08,880
Speaker 8: that's a really interesting one.

2149
01:49:08,920 --> 01:49:11,439
Speaker 1: You know. One of the things about Pierce in his game,

2150
01:49:11,560 --> 01:49:17,200
Speaker 1: Kevin to me, that's underrated, and it feels like he

2151
01:49:17,479 --> 01:49:21,759
Speaker 1: draws in my mind, I know that I'm embellishing the number,

2152
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:24,479
Speaker 1: but it feels like that he draws at least two

2153
01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:30,080
Speaker 1: critical pass interference penalties per game that extend drives or

2154
01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:33,880
Speaker 1: move drives for Indianapolis, And is that that I would

2155
01:49:33,920 --> 01:49:36,559
Speaker 1: assume that's just his ability to get behind the defense

2156
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 1: and then they're playing catchup, right.

2157
01:49:39,040 --> 01:49:41,519
Speaker 8: I mean, I would argue with maybe the Colt's best weapon,

2158
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:44,400
Speaker 8: And yeah I say that half jokingly, half seriously, but

2159
01:49:45,040 --> 01:49:48,519
Speaker 8: it's almost like, oh, bleep it out, Pierce is down

2160
01:49:48,520 --> 01:49:50,400
Speaker 8: there somewhere, might as well throw it down to him.

2161
01:49:50,520 --> 01:49:53,519
Speaker 8: I always tweet out during games whenever the Colts do

2162
01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:55,759
Speaker 8: throw the ball to Peers, I'm like, good things happen

2163
01:49:55,800 --> 01:49:58,240
Speaker 8: when you target him. And when I say that, obviously

2164
01:49:58,320 --> 01:50:00,439
Speaker 8: he comes down with a lot of those balls. But

2165
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:04,640
Speaker 8: also you know in the backyard, he's the biggest and

2166
01:50:04,760 --> 01:50:07,479
Speaker 8: oldest dude, and he's a big brother that the little

2167
01:50:07,520 --> 01:50:10,519
Speaker 8: brothers are all clawing at in the game of five hundred,

2168
01:50:10,560 --> 01:50:12,880
Speaker 8: and they naturally bring him to the ground and boom.

2169
01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:15,280
Speaker 5: That's a flag, like dv's panic. I think we see.

2170
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:16,800
Speaker 8: I mean, there's so many games you can point to

2171
01:50:16,840 --> 01:50:20,840
Speaker 8: this year where that happens. I recall it was the

2172
01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:25,040
Speaker 8: Houston game where Jones threw a ball that almost hit

2173
01:50:25,080 --> 01:50:29,240
Speaker 8: the cheerleaders, and yet the Houston DV was so I

2174
01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:32,120
Speaker 8: think it was a safety that had gotten isolated on Pierce.

2175
01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:34,000
Speaker 5: He was so worried about it.

2176
01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:36,800
Speaker 8: He kind of brought Pierce to the ground and they

2177
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:41,559
Speaker 8: deemed it still catchable, I guess. And Pierce's ablers are all.

2178
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:42,840
Speaker 5: Flaged there, like yeah.

2179
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:45,040
Speaker 8: I mean, if you added up his pass interference are

2180
01:50:45,080 --> 01:50:47,360
Speaker 8: holding penalties, I would argue you to have another couple

2181
01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 8: hundred yards.

2182
01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:48,519
Speaker 4: To his season.

2183
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:53,280
Speaker 1: Kevin, how was the trip up to Notre Dame and

2184
01:50:53,600 --> 01:50:57,080
Speaker 1: I saw I think it was Jordan Cornett made comment

2185
01:50:57,160 --> 01:50:59,120
Speaker 1: to the fact that he was disappointed by the crowd

2186
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:01,400
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame. I know, you guys went up there

2187
01:51:01,400 --> 01:51:03,639
Speaker 1: for that game, double overtime game right with Virginia.

2188
01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:07,759
Speaker 8: Yes, correct, Yes, I would agree with that from Jordan Cornett.

2189
01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:08,599
Speaker 5: Crowd was pathetic.

2190
01:51:11,160 --> 01:51:14,559
Speaker 1: What what now? And I can't recall what night it was,

2191
01:51:14,600 --> 01:51:16,800
Speaker 1: so was it during? Was it before or after the

2192
01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:18,040
Speaker 1: snowstorm and et cetera.

2193
01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:22,960
Speaker 8: Well, I mean yeah, I mean it was Tuesday night,

2194
01:51:23,160 --> 01:51:25,160
Speaker 8: so I mean it was the seven o'clock game before

2195
01:51:25,200 --> 01:51:26,040
Speaker 8: I you at nine.

2196
01:51:26,240 --> 01:51:28,519
Speaker 5: Now, they didn't Weirdly, they didn't get as much snow as.

2197
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:31,720
Speaker 8: We did, like when Rayshaw and I were driving up there,

2198
01:51:31,720 --> 01:51:33,519
Speaker 8: and then by the way, when I say we, I

2199
01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:35,559
Speaker 8: mean Rayshaw was driving and I was just you know,

2200
01:51:35,720 --> 01:51:37,960
Speaker 8: had the nice shotgun experience.

2201
01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:38,559
Speaker 2: You know.

2202
01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:40,040
Speaker 5: Thirty one was a breeze.

2203
01:51:40,400 --> 01:51:42,559
Speaker 8: I mean it was like they still have the lake

2204
01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:45,479
Speaker 8: effect from that apocalyptic snow they got a few weeks ago.

2205
01:51:46,120 --> 01:51:50,200
Speaker 8: But it really, you know, thirty one wasn't bad at all.

2206
01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:55,880
Speaker 8: So great time, great game, brutal ending. You know, it

2207
01:51:55,960 --> 01:51:58,519
Speaker 8: was a question your fandom type of law. So it

2208
01:51:58,520 --> 01:51:59,960
Speaker 8: was a big look in the mirror moment for him.

2209
01:52:00,200 --> 01:52:02,320
Speaker 8: But I'm back on it tomorrow.

2210
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:05,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Syracuse, when when they hired Michael Shrewsbury, you got

2211
01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:08,920
Speaker 1: shirtless and you brought in donuts out of your joy.

2212
01:52:10,040 --> 01:52:11,679
Speaker 1: It was hard to eat the donut with you sitting

2213
01:52:11,680 --> 01:52:17,519
Speaker 1: there shirtless, admittedly, but are you beginning to question that

2214
01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:21,800
Speaker 1: not being shirtless simply Michael Shrewsbury is a good guy.

2215
01:52:21,840 --> 01:52:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong, but is he the

2216
01:52:24,040 --> 01:52:24,960
Speaker 1: right guy for that job?

2217
01:52:25,680 --> 01:52:27,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, totally fair question.

2218
01:52:28,800 --> 01:52:31,320
Speaker 8: You know, Notre Dame is trying to do a little

2219
01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:34,639
Speaker 8: bit of what Purdue is doing, and they they're they're

2220
01:52:34,680 --> 01:52:37,560
Speaker 8: trying to recruit the high school kids.

2221
01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:38,559
Speaker 5: More than live in the portal.

2222
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:40,599
Speaker 8: They just don't and I know it sounds weird to say,

2223
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:43,680
Speaker 8: but they don't have the nil flush fund that a

2224
01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:46,800
Speaker 8: lot of these programs too. For basketball, to be very

2225
01:52:46,840 --> 01:52:50,040
Speaker 8: clear on that. He also has losses, but you know,

2226
01:52:50,080 --> 01:52:51,760
Speaker 8: Marcus Burton is likely out for the year.

2227
01:52:51,920 --> 01:52:54,240
Speaker 5: He got hurt whatever six games into the season, eight

2228
01:52:54,280 --> 01:52:55,040
Speaker 5: games in of the season.

2229
01:52:55,120 --> 01:52:58,280
Speaker 8: So yeah, I mean it's a bit of an excuse,

2230
01:52:58,360 --> 01:52:59,880
Speaker 8: but you know, there is some validity to it.

2231
01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:01,439
Speaker 5: I would still like to see.

2232
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:04,280
Speaker 8: Kind of one more year with him, you know, if

2233
01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:06,320
Speaker 8: you can bring back he On Harrelson, you know, Burton

2234
01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:10,280
Speaker 8: get healthy. They don't really lose much really at all

2235
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:12,640
Speaker 8: of their group, and I mean, at the end of

2236
01:53:12,680 --> 01:53:15,280
Speaker 8: the day, it is Notre Dame basketball. I mean, I

2237
01:53:15,320 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 8: love it like it's one of my children. But I

2238
01:53:17,200 --> 01:53:19,400
Speaker 8: mean it's me and seven other people in the world

2239
01:53:19,880 --> 01:53:22,920
Speaker 8: that treat it like that. So I would like to

2240
01:53:22,960 --> 01:53:26,439
Speaker 8: see just another run with it. But you know, the

2241
01:53:26,479 --> 01:53:28,600
Speaker 8: resume is the resume right now. I mean they haven't won,

2242
01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:30,479
Speaker 8: they haven't beaten a ranked team. I think the stat

2243
01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:36,160
Speaker 8: is in his tenure, which is just astonishing. So yeah,

2244
01:53:36,360 --> 01:53:38,040
Speaker 8: I don't know, I'm probably the wrong guy to ask,

2245
01:53:38,120 --> 01:53:40,559
Speaker 8: but I'm trying to give you an unbiased answer with

2246
01:53:40,600 --> 01:53:41,599
Speaker 8: a very biased brain.

2247
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:45,719
Speaker 3: Kevin, the last eleven games Pacers are six and five.

2248
01:53:45,800 --> 01:53:48,120
Speaker 3: I saw you were out of practice today for the

2249
01:53:48,160 --> 01:53:51,400
Speaker 3: Blue and Gold. When are you making this recent two

2250
01:53:51,479 --> 01:53:55,120
Speaker 3: week stretch for the Pacers from a team perspective, and

2251
01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:59,920
Speaker 3: then you know, individually with Jonas Walker, Johnny furfey Fleur

2252
01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:01,320
Speaker 3: as of late for Indiana.

2253
01:54:02,640 --> 01:54:04,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I would say first you start with

2254
01:54:04,439 --> 01:54:06,599
Speaker 8: just general health. I mean, it's the healthiest they've been

2255
01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:09,800
Speaker 8: all year long, especially now that Matherin's back, Obi top

2256
01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:11,400
Speaker 8: and all was doing some shooting drill. So I don't

2257
01:54:11,439 --> 01:54:15,320
Speaker 8: know if his return seems to potentially be happening soon.

2258
01:54:15,360 --> 01:54:17,280
Speaker 8: Obviously you get in the awkwardness of you know, what

2259
01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:20,720
Speaker 8: you might do as the season moves along. But you know,

2260
01:54:20,760 --> 01:54:22,679
Speaker 8: as far as Furfey and Walker, yeah, I mean that's

2261
01:54:22,840 --> 01:54:24,559
Speaker 8: you know, to a lot of people, letty that that

2262
01:54:24,640 --> 01:54:26,519
Speaker 8: might mean more than the wins and losses. Like if

2263
01:54:26,520 --> 01:54:30,639
Speaker 8: Furfey and or Walker become a thing, then that's really

2264
01:54:30,680 --> 01:54:35,360
Speaker 8: key for whatever the next era looks like for you know,

2265
01:54:35,400 --> 01:54:38,880
Speaker 8: Tyree Talliburton, you know Rick Carlisle specifically today was pretty

2266
01:54:39,520 --> 01:54:42,680
Speaker 8: you know, very complimentary of like Furfey's ability to defend

2267
01:54:42,680 --> 01:54:46,240
Speaker 8: this out failing and you know that aspect to you know,

2268
01:54:46,320 --> 01:54:48,080
Speaker 8: it's kind of been a missing ingredient for the team

2269
01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:48,640
Speaker 8: and everything.

2270
01:54:48,760 --> 01:54:50,480
Speaker 5: So definitely have played better.

2271
01:54:51,680 --> 01:54:54,040
Speaker 8: And now we wait, we wait Thursday, I guess you know,

2272
01:54:54,080 --> 01:54:57,080
Speaker 8: are we watching the final few games of Benedic matheren

2273
01:54:57,120 --> 01:54:59,960
Speaker 8: A Pacers uniform? How exactly will the deadline play out?

2274
01:55:00,440 --> 01:55:02,080
Speaker 8: That's kind of the big storyline now.

2275
01:55:02,400 --> 01:55:05,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, where do things stand with your Benedict

2276
01:55:05,440 --> 01:55:08,800
Speaker 1: Matherin statue that you were going to build, Well.

2277
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:13,200
Speaker 8: It's currently under some snow. Yeah, so i'd have to

2278
01:55:13,240 --> 01:55:13,680
Speaker 8: start there.

2279
01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:14,520
Speaker 4: I probably have to you know.

2280
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:16,200
Speaker 8: I know you guys have a bet on the snow

2281
01:55:16,280 --> 01:55:17,200
Speaker 8: bank in the parking lot.

2282
01:55:17,240 --> 01:55:18,040
Speaker 5: I probably have to start.

2283
01:55:18,080 --> 01:55:19,360
Speaker 1: Do you want to get in on the bet on

2284
01:55:19,400 --> 01:55:20,560
Speaker 1: the snow bank in the parking lot?

2285
01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:24,760
Speaker 5: Kevin, Well, yeah, Eddie told me. You know, Eddie and

2286
01:55:24,840 --> 01:55:26,760
Speaker 5: I discussed it the other day. I first time.

2287
01:55:26,760 --> 01:55:28,520
Speaker 8: I think it's a great bet by both of you.

2288
01:55:28,520 --> 01:55:30,200
Speaker 8: I think it's very entertaining.

2289
01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:33,040
Speaker 5: I probably signed a little bit more with you.

2290
01:55:33,160 --> 01:55:36,000
Speaker 8: I always find it, which it pains me to say,

2291
01:55:36,040 --> 01:55:38,040
Speaker 8: but I always find it like amazing when you drive

2292
01:55:38,080 --> 01:55:40,880
Speaker 8: by those big, like you know, mall parking lots in

2293
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:44,200
Speaker 8: March and you're like, holy bleep, bet, snow bank is

2294
01:55:44,240 --> 01:55:47,400
Speaker 8: still there now. Having said that, the sun has been

2295
01:55:47,440 --> 01:55:50,760
Speaker 8: out like every day this week, so weirdly, I feel

2296
01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:53,800
Speaker 8: like it's melted a little bit more than.

2297
01:55:53,760 --> 01:55:54,520
Speaker 5: I thought it would.

2298
01:55:54,720 --> 01:55:58,520
Speaker 1: However, however, keep in mind I did say, and Eddie

2299
01:55:58,600 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 1: backed me up here. I did say when initially making

2300
01:56:02,280 --> 01:56:07,680
Speaker 1: the wager with Eddie that if we get more snow

2301
01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:10,280
Speaker 1: that is added on to it, that you have to

2302
01:56:10,400 --> 01:56:13,560
Speaker 1: factor that in, right, And I don't know that we

2303
01:56:13,600 --> 01:56:16,200
Speaker 1: have any forecasts in the next couple of days, but

2304
01:56:16,600 --> 01:56:18,320
Speaker 1: it's hard to think that we will not have another

2305
01:56:18,360 --> 01:56:20,360
Speaker 1: snow before it's all gone. Right, there's a chance of

2306
01:56:20,400 --> 01:56:21,280
Speaker 1: flurries next week.

2307
01:56:21,400 --> 01:56:25,960
Speaker 8: Okay, oh boys, it's gonna get real complicated real quick.

2308
01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:30,160
Speaker 8: So yeah, all in all, I probably sided with you

2309
01:56:30,480 --> 01:56:34,120
Speaker 8: on it, but you better believe I'm gonna be monitoring

2310
01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:35,080
Speaker 8: that thing like none other.

2311
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:36,000
Speaker 5: I'm all in on this.

2312
01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:39,520
Speaker 1: See. Now you could also get all in on this.

2313
01:56:39,880 --> 01:56:41,800
Speaker 1: So you're siding with him to rooting for me just

2314
01:56:41,840 --> 01:56:42,600
Speaker 1: to get this on the.

2315
01:56:42,520 --> 01:56:46,360
Speaker 8: Record, right, Yeah, yeah, that probably sums it up correct.

2316
01:56:46,520 --> 01:56:50,080
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, now how about this just so you know,

2317
01:56:50,400 --> 01:56:55,880
Speaker 1: Eddie and Kevin, since you're a father, you're always trying

2318
01:56:55,920 --> 01:56:57,480
Speaker 1: to be hip with kids, right Kevin?

2319
01:56:58,400 --> 01:57:00,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, whole thing.

2320
01:57:01,400 --> 01:57:06,560
Speaker 1: So you know, the new one six sevens six seven's Kevin.

2321
01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be rude here. That's kind of

2322
01:57:09,040 --> 01:57:11,840
Speaker 1: played right. The six seventh thing. It's it's been eighty six.

2323
01:57:12,440 --> 01:57:13,800
Speaker 1: So the new thing is this?

2324
01:57:14,120 --> 01:57:16,520
Speaker 5: Okay, I thought it was forty one was the new one?

2325
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:16,720
Speaker 2: Now?

2326
01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:22,080
Speaker 1: The new one's QR. You're speaking, you're speaking to somebody,

2327
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 1: and like the kids come in and you and your

2328
01:57:24,960 --> 01:57:27,160
Speaker 1: wife are talking, and they say, what are your mom

2329
01:57:27,240 --> 01:57:29,120
Speaker 1: talking about? And you say, don't worry about it. We're

2330
01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:32,800
Speaker 1: just speaking QR. And then you go QR and that

2331
01:57:32,880 --> 01:57:34,960
Speaker 1: means Kevin. Now you want to know what that means?

2332
01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:36,760
Speaker 1: And this is brilliant. This is brilliant. Do you want

2333
01:57:36,760 --> 01:57:37,440
Speaker 1: to know what that means?

2334
01:57:38,680 --> 01:57:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

2335
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:40,480
Speaker 5: I'm on the edge of my seat.

2336
01:57:41,720 --> 01:57:44,560
Speaker 1: When when you go to a restaurant and they say

2337
01:57:44,840 --> 01:57:47,000
Speaker 1: we've gone paperless with our menu. But you can use

2338
01:57:47,040 --> 01:57:49,880
Speaker 1: your phone to scan this. What do you scan?

2339
01:57:51,960 --> 01:57:54,360
Speaker 5: You QR code it up.

2340
01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so when you're speaking in Lingo to someone kind

2341
01:57:59,120 --> 01:58:01,920
Speaker 1: of like pig Latin speaking in QR, which is code.

2342
01:58:03,080 --> 01:58:05,160
Speaker 1: Kids will love this. I just came up with the

2343
01:58:05,240 --> 01:58:06,680
Speaker 1: kids will love it as a matter of fact. Just

2344
01:58:06,720 --> 01:58:08,200
Speaker 1: so you know, Eddie, do you haven't had the breaking

01:58:32,120 --> 01:58:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys are with that opportunity to get on

2354
01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:37,160

2355
01:58:37,240 --> 01:58:39,240
Speaker 1: leaving the station, and we're now. I mean, you know

2356
01:58:39,920 --> 01:58:41,480
Speaker 1: you don't have to be on train if you don't

2357
01:58:41,520 --> 01:58:41,800
Speaker 1: want to.

2358
01:58:42,440 --> 01:58:44,680
Speaker 8: I think my ticket's stuck in the snowbank with the

2359
01:58:44,680 --> 01:58:48,080
Speaker 8: Benedict Matherin statue.

2360
01:58:48,560 --> 01:58:50,520
Speaker 1: Last question, Kap, we got a week before it happens,

2361
01:58:50,560 --> 01:58:52,000
Speaker 1: but you're rooting for who in the Super Bowl?

2362
01:58:53,040 --> 01:58:54,200
Speaker 5: Well, rooting for the Seahawk.

2363
01:58:54,280 --> 01:58:55,880
Speaker 8: I do think New England can make it much more

2364
01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:57,920
Speaker 8: interesting than people think. And I know the Drake may

2365
01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:00,280
Speaker 8: like ill his shoulders a little weird, but I know

2366
01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:02,360
Speaker 8: I feel like people are really riding off New England

2367
01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:03,120
Speaker 8: way too early.

2368
01:59:03,320 --> 01:59:05,320
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, and I'd like to see

2369
01:59:05,320 --> 01:59:07,760
Speaker 1: Seattle as well. Again they are osprays. That is the

2370
01:59:07,760 --> 01:59:11,520
Speaker 1: Seahawk a large bird. According to Kevin's son, all right, Kevin,

2371
01:59:11,600 --> 01:59:13,920
Speaker 1: enjoy the weekend, appreciate the time as always.

2372
01:59:14,440 --> 01:59:15,760
Speaker 5: Praying for you, Eddie, see you boy.

2373
01:59:17,440 --> 01:59:21,760
Speaker 1: So he's on my team in terms of the snow bank. Okay,

2374
01:59:21,800 --> 01:59:27,600
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you the you could already you could

2375
01:59:27,600 --> 01:59:34,760
Speaker 1: already feel the wave of the QR. Eddie. You don't

2376
01:59:34,760 --> 01:59:37,680
Speaker 1: want to admit it, but you thought about it last night?

2377
01:59:37,720 --> 01:59:38,280
Speaker 1: Did you not know?

2378
01:59:39,480 --> 01:59:42,840
Speaker 3: He never once came through my brain last night and

2379
01:59:42,840 --> 01:59:44,200
Speaker 3: that was up until two in the morning.

2380
01:59:44,280 --> 01:59:46,240
Speaker 1: No, it did not. I would like for this. This

2381
01:59:46,320 --> 01:59:49,800
Speaker 1: is all I'm asking. This is all I'm asking. Okay,

2382
01:59:50,960 --> 01:59:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't ask for a lot. I'm low maintenance. Would

2383
01:59:53,360 --> 01:59:54,440
Speaker 1: you agree I'm low maintenance?

2384
01:59:55,320 --> 01:59:59,400
Speaker 3: Well, the text line of people that are saying, please

2385
01:59:59,400 --> 02:00:00,680
Speaker 3: stop the QR.

2386
02:00:01,280 --> 02:00:03,200
Speaker 1: I can't say some of these words, but I'll say

2387
02:00:03,200 --> 02:00:11,360
Speaker 1: stuff what listen, It's all in good fun, but maybe

2388
02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:17,120
Speaker 1: for you. But I'm low maintenance, right, sure, I am sure.

2389
02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:18,240
Speaker 1: You don't have to do a lot.

2390
02:00:19,200 --> 02:00:22,520
Speaker 3: I have to deal with this, okay, the fixation of

2391
02:00:22,600 --> 02:00:24,200
Speaker 3: things when something's not there.

2392
02:00:25,200 --> 02:00:31,040
Speaker 1: Oh well, we'll disagree. There. All I ask of the

2393
02:00:31,080 --> 02:00:35,360
Speaker 1: people of this fine city is that if someone sees

2394
02:00:35,480 --> 02:00:38,240
Speaker 1: Eddie in public, they walk up to him and simply

2395
02:00:38,280 --> 02:00:45,120
Speaker 1: say QR. That's it. And this week on Monday, I'm

2396
02:00:45,120 --> 02:00:45,800
Speaker 1: gonna wager.

2397
02:00:46,040 --> 02:00:49,720
Speaker 3: I'm gonna wag me if Cicero here feel the wave

2398
02:00:50,920 --> 02:00:51,720
Speaker 3: of nausea.

2399
02:00:52,960 --> 02:01:00,440
Speaker 1: No, no again, I listen, I get it. If I

2400
02:01:00,520 --> 02:01:03,560
Speaker 1: hadn't thought of it myself, I would also be nauseous

2401
02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:04,560
Speaker 1: of envy.

2402
02:01:05,280 --> 02:01:07,800
Speaker 3: There's a growing amount of people that are saying, Eddie,

2403
02:01:07,800 --> 02:01:10,960
Speaker 3: I pray for you. You've got it thirty more minutes

2404
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:12,400
Speaker 3: and then you're done with him for the week.

2405
02:01:13,920 --> 02:01:16,560
Speaker 1: How about this. He's smiling while saying it, and she

2406
02:01:16,760 --> 02:01:24,640
Speaker 1: knows so dumb. He knows it's awesome. No, Nick, Nick

2407
02:01:24,680 --> 02:01:33,600
Speaker 1: doesn't seem thrilled. I'm telling you, hey, Jake, it's Eric

2408
02:01:33,640 --> 02:01:35,880
Speaker 1: and Fisher's. I was curious if Jake received the gift

2409
02:01:35,880 --> 02:01:41,160
Speaker 1: I sent him in December. Eric, I will have to look.

2410
02:01:41,240 --> 02:01:43,040
Speaker 1: I apologize. I need to look to see if that

2411
02:01:43,960 --> 02:01:49,400
Speaker 1: in the move things get a little bit wonky. It

2412
02:01:49,480 --> 02:01:52,720
Speaker 1: is a Friday that means that it is a Franciscan health,

2413
02:01:52,760 --> 02:01:54,640
Speaker 1: feel good, good for the heart Friday, and it comes

2414
02:01:54,640 --> 02:01:58,000
Speaker 1: with a little bit of a different twist this week,

2415
02:01:58,080 --> 02:02:00,720
Speaker 1: which we will be doing in twenty twenty six, and

2416
02:02:00,880 --> 02:02:05,360
Speaker 1: it is not the sophomoric hijinks of QR. But it

2417
02:02:05,480 --> 02:02:07,560
Speaker 1: is something that's going to make you feel good and

2418
02:02:07,600 --> 02:02:10,360
Speaker 1: good for the heart, and we'll do it next. I

2419
02:02:10,400 --> 02:02:13,360
Speaker 1: did just get a text from someone saying that the

2420
02:02:13,480 --> 02:02:17,200
Speaker 1: lingo's catching on in Fort Wayne. No it's not. I'm

2421
02:02:17,240 --> 02:02:20,320
Speaker 1: just telling you you're lying. That makes me feel good,

2422
02:02:22,360 --> 02:02:26,040
Speaker 1: does my heart good? To hear that, right, people are

2423
02:02:26,040 --> 02:02:29,400
Speaker 1: on board with it. No, But on a serious note,

2424
02:02:29,800 --> 02:02:33,200
Speaker 1: Franciscan Health has partnered with us for the last couple

2425
02:02:33,240 --> 02:02:37,520
Speaker 1: of years, and you know, I'm honored for that fact

2426
02:02:38,240 --> 02:02:42,680
Speaker 1: and the number of people and I listen. I know,

2427
02:02:42,800 --> 02:02:46,640
Speaker 1: folks on this program, we joke around, we have fun.

2428
02:02:46,800 --> 02:02:51,480
Speaker 1: I get yeah, do I obsess over things sometimes maybe, right,

2429
02:02:51,640 --> 02:02:56,160
Speaker 1: I get it, But I do truly appreciate that people

2430
02:02:56,240 --> 02:02:58,320
Speaker 1: do tune in just to have fun with us and

2431
02:02:58,440 --> 02:03:00,960
Speaker 1: to hear some sports. And you know, we like to

2432
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:04,360
Speaker 1: treat it kind of just like, you know, like a

2433
02:03:04,400 --> 02:03:06,440
Speaker 1: sports bar or a hangout where you're just hanging out

2434
02:03:06,440 --> 02:03:09,720
Speaker 1: talking sports. That's what this should all be about. But

2435
02:03:09,800 --> 02:03:15,240
Speaker 1: at the same time, the number of people and I

2436
02:03:15,280 --> 02:03:18,120
Speaker 1: know that I've said this a lot, and I understand

2437
02:03:18,200 --> 02:03:22,240
Speaker 1: and I truly do appreciate the patients people have of

2438
02:03:23,120 --> 02:03:25,600
Speaker 1: knowing that on Fridays at two thirty, we're going to

2439
02:03:25,600 --> 02:03:27,640
Speaker 1: give you a little bit of information about heart health

2440
02:03:28,240 --> 02:03:31,720
Speaker 1: because it is something for which you know, I take

2441
02:03:31,760 --> 02:03:35,520
Speaker 1: it a responsibility I take personally and I take seriously.

2442
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:41,320
Speaker 1: And Franciscan has been outstanding and giving us the information

2443
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:44,880
Speaker 1: and helping out with the platform towards helping people when

2444
02:03:44,920 --> 02:03:47,840
Speaker 1: it comes to cardiovascular health. And one of the things

2445
02:03:47,840 --> 02:03:49,640
Speaker 1: that we had a meeting at the end of last

2446
02:03:49,720 --> 02:03:53,080
Speaker 1: year and they said, you know, the thing, Jake, that

2447
02:03:53,120 --> 02:03:59,200
Speaker 1: we really need to reach towards is the number of

2448
02:03:59,400 --> 02:04:05,880
Speaker 1: women that may not think about heart health. And I said,

2449
02:04:05,920 --> 02:04:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, that's probably true because when you think about

2450
02:04:08,280 --> 02:04:11,000
Speaker 1: the stereotype of the heart attack, the Sanford and Son,

2451
02:04:11,480 --> 02:04:14,400
Speaker 1: the grabber, you know, whatever it may be. Or when

2452
02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:17,040
Speaker 1: you think about in movies a character that has a

2453
02:04:17,080 --> 02:04:20,560
Speaker 1: heart attack, it is more often than not stereotypically a

2454
02:04:20,720 --> 02:04:27,000
Speaker 1: male that you think of, and it just becomes labeled

2455
02:04:27,040 --> 02:04:29,720
Speaker 1: as like, the heart attack is the you know, there's

2456
02:04:29,760 --> 02:04:32,880
Speaker 1: a heart attack called the widow maker. It's not called

2457
02:04:32,920 --> 02:04:37,600
Speaker 1: the maker of the widower because we condition ourselves to

2458
02:04:37,640 --> 02:04:40,480
Speaker 1: think that this is something that is a predominantly male thing.

2459
02:04:41,480 --> 02:04:43,720
Speaker 1: And for those of you listening right now, the majority

2460
02:04:43,760 --> 02:04:46,720
Speaker 1: of you are probably men. But you've got mothers, you've

2461
02:04:46,720 --> 02:04:52,200
Speaker 1: got sisters, you've got wives, and it is alarming to

2462
02:04:52,280 --> 02:04:55,080
Speaker 1: think that the leading cause of death for women in

2463
02:04:55,120 --> 02:05:00,240
Speaker 1: the United States is heart related heart disease. And of

2464
02:05:00,280 --> 02:05:03,400
Speaker 1: the problem or the challenge challenge I use rather as

2465
02:05:03,680 --> 02:05:08,560
Speaker 1: the better word is that the symptoms when it comes

2466
02:05:08,560 --> 02:05:11,120
Speaker 1: to a female heart attack are not the same as

2467
02:05:11,120 --> 02:05:14,960
Speaker 1: that of a man. You know, with a guy, I mean,

2468
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:17,440
Speaker 1: I can tell you I've said my left arm went

2469
02:05:17,520 --> 02:05:22,120
Speaker 1: immediately numb and then I just started sweating profusely, And

2470
02:05:22,240 --> 02:05:26,600
Speaker 1: women it may be something more like extreme fatigue, nausea,

2471
02:05:26,720 --> 02:05:30,520
Speaker 1: a pain in the jaw, a pain in the shoulders,

2472
02:05:30,880 --> 02:05:33,880
Speaker 1: and oftentimes it's related to for example, if you had

2473
02:05:33,880 --> 02:05:36,680
Speaker 1: gone through menopause before the age of forty, if you

2474
02:05:36,720 --> 02:05:41,640
Speaker 1: had pregnancy complications, those are things that can then later

2475
02:05:42,520 --> 02:05:48,040
Speaker 1: be attached to or create cardiovascular problems. So we're going

2476
02:05:48,080 --> 02:05:50,360
Speaker 1: to make sure over the course of twenty twenty six

2477
02:05:50,720 --> 02:05:54,320
Speaker 1: that we speak to the importance of women as well

2478
02:05:54,520 --> 02:05:57,120
Speaker 1: for the heart scan and other such things. And in

2479
02:05:57,200 --> 02:06:00,760
Speaker 1: that capacity, we're going to be celebrating women's sports throughout

2480
02:06:00,800 --> 02:06:04,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, like simply, for example, this week, reminding

2481
02:06:04,560 --> 02:06:06,240
Speaker 1: all of you that when it comes to high school

2482
02:06:06,240 --> 02:06:10,680
Speaker 1: athletics and the IHSAA, which is the building block and

2483
02:06:10,720 --> 02:06:14,120
Speaker 1: the foundation principle of learning the important things that one

2484
02:06:14,120 --> 02:06:18,160
Speaker 1: should learn throughout life. You know, the number of people

2485
02:06:18,160 --> 02:06:22,280
Speaker 1: I talked to that myself included that you know, Hey,

2486
02:06:22,360 --> 02:06:25,480
Speaker 1: did you play sports at high school? And a lot

2487
02:06:25,480 --> 02:06:27,160
Speaker 1: of people will say, you know, I played until like

2488
02:06:27,280 --> 02:06:30,400
Speaker 1: sophomore year, and then once it got into the varsity level,

2489
02:06:30,440 --> 02:06:32,920
Speaker 1: I probably wasn't good enough. So I had to find

2490
02:06:32,920 --> 02:06:36,120
Speaker 1: another way to be involved. I was a manager for

2491
02:06:36,160 --> 02:06:38,120
Speaker 1: the team, or in my case, I was the broadcaster

2492
02:06:38,240 --> 02:06:41,000
Speaker 1: for the team, or I simply enjoyed going and watching

2493
02:06:41,040 --> 02:06:43,879
Speaker 1: the games and following around and going to the different things.

2494
02:06:44,120 --> 02:06:47,960
Speaker 1: But learning to watch from the sideline and all of

2495
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:53,680
Speaker 1: those things that happen throughout sports. That's the real principle

2496
02:06:53,720 --> 02:06:58,040
Speaker 1: of it. That and teamwork and sportsmanship are the ihsaa's goals.

2497
02:06:58,480 --> 02:07:01,720
Speaker 1: And simply want to say this week, because we talk

2498
02:07:01,840 --> 02:07:05,840
Speaker 1: so much about who's your hysteria and boys basketball and

2499
02:07:05,880 --> 02:07:08,000
Speaker 1: sectional time, you know it's got to be snowy because

2500
02:07:08,040 --> 02:07:10,160
Speaker 1: or it's got to be sectionals because it's snowy outside,

2501
02:07:10,680 --> 02:07:13,560
Speaker 1: which we'll experience in another month. But Eddie, you came

2502
02:07:13,600 --> 02:07:16,120
Speaker 1: in here during basically the Great Blizzard of twenty six.

2503
02:07:16,200 --> 02:07:20,600
Speaker 1: So far, you and Greg Reigstraw and I believe Mark Dyton,

2504
02:07:20,640 --> 02:07:23,960
Speaker 1: we're all in here for a big show that you

2505
02:07:24,000 --> 02:07:25,320
Speaker 1: guys did on Sunday night. Correct.

2506
02:07:25,480 --> 02:07:30,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, the IHA State Tournament pairing show for sectionals on Sunday.

2507
02:07:30,640 --> 02:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Yes, so the girls sectionals getting set to get underway.

2508
02:07:34,720 --> 02:07:37,840
Speaker 1: They will begin on February third, so upcoming this week

2509
02:07:38,120 --> 02:07:40,320
Speaker 1: and then the fourth, sixth, and seventh, so we are

2510
02:07:40,480 --> 02:07:44,640
Speaker 1: into now girls sectionals. Those pairings haven't been announced, and

2511
02:07:44,760 --> 02:07:47,520
Speaker 1: this week is when all of the young ladies throughout

2512
02:07:47,520 --> 02:07:50,400
Speaker 1: Indiana will be taken to the basketball floor. And yes,

2513
02:07:50,560 --> 02:07:53,800
Speaker 1: hoo's your hysteria means basketball in general, not just isolated

2514
02:07:53,800 --> 02:07:56,520
Speaker 1: to the boys. So I would strongly encourage everybody to

2515
02:07:56,600 --> 02:08:00,240
Speaker 1: go out support the women that are learning the those

2516
02:08:00,240 --> 02:08:05,360
Speaker 1: same values, those same principles, because learning basketball, learning whatever

2517
02:08:05,400 --> 02:08:08,839
Speaker 1: sport it might be in high school athletics or even younger,

2518
02:08:09,200 --> 02:08:12,000
Speaker 1: at its core is supposed to be about preparing you

2519
02:08:12,040 --> 02:08:14,840
Speaker 1: for the things that happen later in life, just like

2520
02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:16,760
Speaker 1: the initiatives that we're going to try to take for

2521
02:08:16,880 --> 02:08:19,760
Speaker 1: women when it comes to heart disease and knowing that

2522
02:08:19,760 --> 02:08:22,200
Speaker 1: that is the leading cause of death in the United States,

2523
02:08:22,440 --> 02:08:26,280
Speaker 1: knowing that one in three women in terms of death

2524
02:08:26,320 --> 02:08:28,800
Speaker 1: in the United States may at some point have had

2525
02:08:28,880 --> 02:08:31,920
Speaker 1: some sort of a complication of heart disease, and what

2526
02:08:31,960 --> 02:08:33,920
Speaker 1: are the things that you can do, especially when those

2527
02:08:33,960 --> 02:08:37,240
Speaker 1: signs and symptoms are trickier than with a man. It's

2528
02:08:37,280 --> 02:08:40,400
Speaker 1: simply to be proactive, like getting a heart scan, a

2529
02:08:40,440 --> 02:08:43,200
Speaker 1: forty nine dollars heart scan from Franciscan Health, which is

2530
02:08:43,320 --> 02:08:46,280
Speaker 1: number one in the state when it comes to interventional

2531
02:08:46,360 --> 02:08:49,320
Speaker 1: coronary care, number one when it comes to cardiology by

2532
02:08:49,320 --> 02:08:51,880
Speaker 1: health grades, and that forty nine dollars heart scan is

2533
02:08:51,920 --> 02:08:55,840
Speaker 1: so simple, it's non invasive, it does not take long

2534
02:08:55,880 --> 02:08:57,680
Speaker 1: at all, and just forty nine dollars. You can pay

2535
02:08:57,680 --> 02:09:00,400
Speaker 1: out of pocket and you go in and with the

2536
02:09:00,440 --> 02:09:03,080
Speaker 1: heart scan where you get a scan of your heart

2537
02:09:03,080 --> 02:09:04,880
Speaker 1: to find out the calcium build up in your heart.

2538
02:09:04,880 --> 02:09:08,000
Speaker 1: You also get a heart health risk assessment, so you

2539
02:09:08,040 --> 02:09:10,480
Speaker 1: get kind of that roadmap on where you are and

2540
02:09:10,520 --> 02:09:12,560
Speaker 1: where you need to be in terms of heart health.

2541
02:09:12,960 --> 02:09:16,760
Speaker 1: And guys that are listening, I strongly encourage you to

2542
02:09:16,800 --> 02:09:19,640
Speaker 1: talk to the women in your life about the importance

2543
02:09:19,680 --> 02:09:22,280
Speaker 1: of that, especially if they're over the age of forty.

2544
02:09:22,560 --> 02:09:24,520
Speaker 1: And you can find out more about the heart scans

2545
02:09:24,560 --> 02:09:28,320
Speaker 1: themselves at eight three three two three eight zero six

2546
02:09:28,480 --> 02:09:31,520

Speaker 1: about getting a heart scan and finding out woe like,

2556
02:09:56,840 --> 02:09:59,720
Speaker 1: I'm glad I did that. I'm glad I was preemptive.

2594
02:11:51,480 --> 02:11:54,680
Speaker 1: your pirate voice. But that's a whole other element. Why

2595
02:11:55,040 --> 02:12:03,080
Speaker 1: I can I swear? That's probably how much fun is that?

2604
02:12:26,280 --> 02:12:28,120
Speaker 1: you do not want to have this time of year

2605
02:12:28,160 --> 02:12:29,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden that furnace go out, and think, oh, man,

2606
02:12:30,360 --> 02:12:31,880
Speaker 1: I should have gone with the people that Jake was

2607

2615
02:12:52,440 --> 02:12:57,360
Speaker 1: The crossover talk when jmb arrives and what it is

2616
02:12:58,000 --> 02:13:01,640
Speaker 1: that he has upcoming on his show earlier today also

2617
02:13:01,880 --> 02:13:05,200
Speaker 1: you probably saw it. There were two big items of

2618
02:13:05,320 --> 02:13:09,440
Speaker 1: news in relation to IndyCar. The first the announcement that tentatively,

2619
02:13:10,520 --> 02:13:13,760
Speaker 1: it looks as though IndyCar will have a race in Washington,

2620
02:13:13,880 --> 02:13:17,640
Speaker 1: d C. On the weekend of August twenty third that

2621
02:13:17,760 --> 02:13:23,120
Speaker 1: will utilize Pennsylvania Avenue as well as the mall and

2622
02:13:23,200 --> 02:13:26,560
Speaker 1: the different monuments could be on display based on the

2623
02:13:26,640 --> 02:13:29,920
Speaker 1: track that they come up with. This will be called

2624
02:13:29,920 --> 02:13:32,240
Speaker 1: the America two fifty Grand Prix. It will be a

2625
02:13:32,280 --> 02:13:34,520
Speaker 1: celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth year of the

2626
02:13:34,600 --> 02:13:38,680
Speaker 1: United States. And the one thing I will say, and

2627
02:13:38,720 --> 02:13:41,480
Speaker 1: I guess it would not have been possible to do

2628
02:13:41,600 --> 02:13:45,760
Speaker 1: it on July fourth or that weekend. I mean, IndyCar

2629
02:13:45,840 --> 02:13:48,320
Speaker 1: will already be in mid Ohio for that weekend. But

2630
02:13:49,240 --> 02:13:51,880
Speaker 1: that's the one thing that you would think that if

2631
02:13:51,920 --> 02:13:54,440
Speaker 1: you're doing it, But I would imagine there are obviously

2632
02:13:55,000 --> 02:14:00,800
Speaker 1: much bigger and you know, already set in stone plans

2633
02:14:01,640 --> 02:14:04,640
Speaker 1: in the nation's capital for the fourth and so therefore

2634
02:14:04,680 --> 02:14:12,160
Speaker 1: August twenty third, we had not, as contracted employees of

2635
02:14:12,920 --> 02:14:15,960
Speaker 1: Indy car we had not definitively heard anything about that

2636
02:14:16,080 --> 02:14:19,240
Speaker 1: at all until this announcement came today. I think there

2637
02:14:19,320 --> 02:14:24,800
Speaker 1: was the level of discussion was essentially what most of

2638
02:14:24,800 --> 02:14:28,360
Speaker 1: you had heard of, just you know, rumors and rumblings

2639
02:14:28,400 --> 02:14:31,560
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. But when President Trump announced

2640
02:14:31,600 --> 02:14:34,400
Speaker 1: it earlier today, I did not see it, but I

2641
02:14:34,720 --> 02:14:36,800
Speaker 1: from what I read, Roger Penske as well as Fox

2642
02:14:36,880 --> 02:14:39,360
Speaker 1: executives were there, so that would lead you to believe

2643
02:14:39,360 --> 02:14:41,800
Speaker 1: that this is a certainty. There are going to be

2644
02:14:41,880 --> 02:14:45,600
Speaker 1: a lot of logistical challenges they need to work through

2645
02:14:46,640 --> 02:14:48,920
Speaker 1: in order to come up with a track and figure

2646
02:14:48,960 --> 02:14:50,280
Speaker 1: out how they're going to do it in the layout,

2647
02:14:50,400 --> 02:14:56,000
Speaker 1: and also just the you know, when you start putting

2648
02:14:56,040 --> 02:14:58,760
Speaker 1: up the barriers, the fencing, the security, not to create

2649
02:14:58,800 --> 02:15:02,080
Speaker 1: the track it's going to be. That is a process

2650
02:15:02,120 --> 02:15:04,280
Speaker 1: that's going to be taking place over the summer in Washington,

2651
02:15:04,320 --> 02:15:06,800
Speaker 1: d C. And we'll see if they're able to get

2652
02:15:06,800 --> 02:15:10,600
Speaker 1: that done. I thought when we went to Baltimore, and

2653
02:15:10,640 --> 02:15:12,720
Speaker 1: if I had to guess that was twenty fourteen and

2654
02:15:12,840 --> 02:15:15,960
Speaker 1: fifteen somewhere in there. We went twice. I loved it.

2655
02:15:16,040 --> 02:15:19,960
Speaker 1: I loved that area. I loved the fans in Baltimore.

2656
02:15:20,040 --> 02:15:23,839
Speaker 1: When we went there, it was unbelievable. The attendance, especially

2657
02:15:23,840 --> 02:15:27,600
Speaker 1: the first year, it was incredible going around Camden Yards.

2658
02:15:27,640 --> 02:15:32,360
Speaker 1: So it was very, very cool. Also Tim Sindric, who

2659
02:15:32,560 --> 02:15:37,120
Speaker 1: was out as the president of Penske Racing last year

2660
02:15:37,160 --> 02:15:42,040
Speaker 1: after the scandal in the Indy five hundred with and

2661
02:15:42,120 --> 02:15:46,320
Speaker 1: I can't even remember Nat remember no matter attenuator, thank you.

2662
02:15:46,360 --> 02:15:49,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't think of the word the attenuator that was

2663
02:15:50,080 --> 02:15:52,240
Speaker 1: altered and they were not supposed to be. And then

2664
02:15:52,280 --> 02:15:57,080
Speaker 1: you added that to the previous scandal of the push

2665
02:15:57,200 --> 02:16:01,160
Speaker 1: to pass at Saint Pete and Tim Sindric was one

2666
02:16:01,240 --> 02:16:04,840
Speaker 1: of three at Penske Racing that was you know that

2667
02:16:05,480 --> 02:16:07,920
Speaker 1: moved on or were asked to move on. He is

2668
02:16:07,960 --> 02:16:10,160
Speaker 1: now back with Penske Racing and will be the race

2669
02:16:10,200 --> 02:16:15,400
Speaker 1: strategist for Scott McLaughlin for the year. I did communicate

2670
02:16:15,400 --> 02:16:17,520
Speaker 1: with him yesterday and he is going out of town.

2671
02:16:17,520 --> 02:16:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to be out of town I think next week,

2672
02:16:19,800 --> 02:16:22,080
Speaker 1: and so I would imagine that after that I would

2673
02:16:22,120 --> 02:16:23,880
Speaker 1: love to get him on the show and just get

2674
02:16:23,960 --> 02:16:28,400
Speaker 1: his thoughts and perspectives on that. Who was he previously

2675
02:16:28,720 --> 02:16:32,280
Speaker 1: the strategist for he has done primarily he's kind of

2676
02:16:32,320 --> 02:16:35,680
Speaker 1: done all of them, but Newgarden in Power notably, right,

2677
02:16:35,720 --> 02:16:37,000
Speaker 1: and then McLaughlin as well.

2678
02:16:37,160 --> 02:16:41,080
Speaker 3: So now it's obviously with Team Pensken now it's Scott McLaughlin,

2679
02:16:41,360 --> 02:16:43,320
Speaker 3: Joseph Neugarten and David Malucas.

2680
02:16:42,959 --> 02:16:45,760
Speaker 1: Right, correct, Yeah, that's correct, with will Power moving on

2681
02:16:45,800 --> 02:16:49,200
Speaker 1: to team and Dretty pen will Power, yes, will be

2682
02:16:49,320 --> 02:16:52,280
Speaker 1: in the car that Colton Hurda vacated by going over

2683
02:16:52,640 --> 02:16:56,280
Speaker 1: into the Formula the Formula one ranks. So Indy Car

2684
02:16:56,280 --> 02:17:00,280
Speaker 1: had their content days this earlier this week, yeah, the

2685
02:17:00,320 --> 02:17:04,280
Speaker 1: last two days. Yeah, And so the stage is said,

2686
02:17:04,440 --> 02:17:06,880
Speaker 1: it's hard to believe Saint Pete will be here absolutely

2687
02:17:07,600 --> 02:17:13,520
Speaker 1: before we know it. And which is again like it

2688
02:17:13,959 --> 02:17:16,040
Speaker 1: it goes by quick. The off season is the spin,

2689
02:17:16,080 --> 02:17:18,040
Speaker 1: You're going to do it again? Will he win the series?

2690
02:17:18,080 --> 02:17:24,360
Speaker 1: I mean at this point more than likely, right, boy,

2691
02:17:24,480 --> 02:17:28,840
Speaker 1: He's he is so rhythm right, yeah, it is. And

2692
02:17:28,840 --> 02:17:32,760
Speaker 1: now I do think though that I would anticipate like

2693
02:17:32,879 --> 02:17:35,240
Speaker 1: Newgarten had such a down year last year, I mean

2694
02:17:35,280 --> 02:17:39,800
Speaker 1: it was. It was bizarre, and I would imagine I

2695
02:17:39,840 --> 02:17:44,560
Speaker 1: can't imagine that that slump continues for Joseph Newguard, So

2696
02:17:44,680 --> 02:17:47,000
Speaker 1: I would think that Joseph Newgarten is also going to

2697
02:17:47,000 --> 02:17:51,600
Speaker 1: be and as well McLaughlin. I mean McLaughlin was tenth

2698
02:17:51,680 --> 02:17:53,440
Speaker 1: in points last year. Those guys will have a good shot.

2699
02:17:53,480 --> 02:17:56,360
Speaker 1: Christian Lutinguard as well. And Poto Award. It goes without saying.

2700
02:17:56,400 --> 02:17:59,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of Poto Award, J ANDV just walked in. Yes,

2701
02:18:00,000 --> 02:18:01,560
Speaker 1: we're all excited, aren't you about that?

2702
02:18:01,680 --> 02:18:04,520
Speaker 9: So I roll up to the the Goodwill at Nora

2703
02:18:05,000 --> 02:18:10,720
Speaker 9: Meridian Hills. Basically i'd fine four McLaren shirts and on

2704
02:18:10,840 --> 02:18:13,480
Speaker 9: the tag they all say Poto Award on the back

2705
02:18:13,520 --> 02:18:16,080
Speaker 9: of the shirt. So I'm assuming that's where he lives

2706
02:18:16,160 --> 02:18:20,400
Speaker 9: up there. I'm assuming that's POTO Awards close. And I

2707
02:18:21,080 --> 02:18:22,480
Speaker 9: bought him for my son, and I go, hey, we

2708
02:18:22,560 --> 02:18:24,160
Speaker 9: got to have that. So I bought him.

2709
02:18:24,160 --> 02:18:25,920
Speaker 1: You got to get him to sign one, you know

2710
02:18:25,959 --> 02:18:26,240
Speaker 1: what I mean.

2711
02:18:27,160 --> 02:18:29,400
Speaker 9: I actually sent a message on accident. I said, man,

2712
02:18:29,640 --> 02:18:32,000
Speaker 9: look what I found right here. But yeah, but he

2713
02:18:32,959 --> 02:18:36,040
Speaker 9: has it yet, huh. But I'm assuming that's his. So

2714
02:18:36,480 --> 02:18:39,720
Speaker 9: that was the McLaren Wardrobe that that that was correct,

2715
02:18:39,800 --> 02:18:41,840
Speaker 9: that's correct. What what was that about was that he

2716
02:18:42,040 --> 02:18:44,640
Speaker 9: drive for he drove for McLaren or he'd try it

2717
02:18:45,879 --> 02:18:46,480
Speaker 9: right now.

2718
02:18:46,280 --> 02:18:48,480
Speaker 1: But I mean in F one was that, Oh he's

2719
02:18:48,520 --> 02:18:51,160
Speaker 1: a test driver for this. Okay, I got you so. Yeah,

2720
02:18:51,200 --> 02:18:53,119
Speaker 1: so that's pretty awesome.

2721
02:18:53,520 --> 02:18:56,199
Speaker 9: That is what it had to be because his name

2722
02:18:56,480 --> 02:18:59,000
Speaker 9: is like on the back of it right there. It's

2723
02:18:59,040 --> 02:19:01,840
Speaker 9: like inside the collar that his name is there.

2724
02:19:01,879 --> 02:19:03,920
Speaker 1: And you're right, he does live in the North Side something. Yeah,

2725
02:19:03,959 --> 02:19:06,200
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know exactly where, but you know

2726
02:19:06,360 --> 02:19:08,800
Speaker 1: Ericson lives in that area as well. But what's on

2727
02:19:08,800 --> 02:19:09,560
Speaker 1: the big show today?

2728
02:19:09,600 --> 02:19:12,080
Speaker 9: We're gonna do? Uh, I think somebody from I don't

2729
02:19:12,120 --> 02:19:13,840
Speaker 9: know where. I think Don's going to be out today

2730
02:19:13,840 --> 02:19:15,600
Speaker 9: because he's on a fly. We'll talk a little bit

2731
02:19:15,600 --> 02:19:18,520
Speaker 9: about the weekend in college basketball with IU Purdue.

2732
02:19:19,120 --> 02:19:20,800
Speaker 1: Get you sent for a lot of things as well.

2733
02:19:20,879 --> 02:19:24,959
Speaker 9: Ray from Telemundo, Jake gave me this miniature soccer ball

2734
02:19:25,280 --> 02:19:27,000
Speaker 9: from when I remark when he walked out here the

2735
02:19:27,000 --> 02:19:30,640
Speaker 9: other day and he had this like fur code on. Yeah,

2736
02:19:31,120 --> 02:19:33,520
Speaker 9: what in no whorld is happening? One of these days

2737
02:19:33,520 --> 02:19:35,200
Speaker 9: we're all going to go out and drink with him.

2738
02:19:35,200 --> 02:19:37,480
Speaker 9: He is an awesome He's.

2739
02:19:37,160 --> 02:19:38,600
Speaker 1: A native of Venezuela. Ray that.

2740
02:19:39,080 --> 02:19:40,959
Speaker 9: Yeah, worker, I'm going to have to go back through

2741
02:19:41,000 --> 02:19:43,160
Speaker 9: I think Spanish one and two because I kind of

2742
02:19:43,160 --> 02:19:45,119
Speaker 9: goofed off in high school during those courses.

2743
02:19:45,320 --> 02:19:46,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes I struggle.

2744
02:19:46,480 --> 02:19:46,800
Speaker 2: I have to.
