I have never been bedroom to be on the 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.800 air with you here in Indianapolis, a place where so 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:51.320 many of my dreams have come true. 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.600 The ride with JMV on ninety three five and one 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:55.520 seven five. 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.040 Welcome in on a busy Wednesday. We're on the road 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:05.200 tomorrow these Speedway City Garage Hauler parade for Nescar Main Street, 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:10.120 and we've got coffee, we've got beer, and we've got celebration, 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.840 just celebration of the hanging out coming up tomorrow. More 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.480 on that and just a little bit Fever coming up 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.959 later off tonight. That tiptime is at eight final game 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.720 before the All Star break. It is the Fever and 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:28.120 Connecticut Sun seven point thirty right here, and it's Tidrow. 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.520 Tid Row's got you covered here seven thirty All Star Break. 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:36.080 Shortly thereafter. Scott Agnes is going to join me a 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:40.000 little bit later on from Fieldhouse Files. I haven't really 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:45.360 paid too much attention whether or not Sophie Cuttingham, for example, 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.320 is going to be active during All Star Weekend. I 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.720 don't even know where it is. Frankly, I don't care. 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.080 But if you don't have Sophie Cunningham a part of 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.000 something on All Star Weekend, not necessarily on the All 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:03.040 Star team, I'm not suggesting that, but if you don't 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.280 have a part of something, what in the hell are 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:10.560 you doing? What in the hell are you doing? She could, 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.680 at the very least get out there and shoot some threes. 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.040 By god, I'm gonna tell you that, and you'll probably 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.560 get a little bit more notoriety. You know when we 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:26.000 say all the time that often the decision makers of 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:31.520 the WNBA, or sometimes that of the FEVER can't get 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:36.359 out of their own way. These are reasons why we 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:43.639 bring that up. These are reasons why I'm not suggesting 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:50.720 you make this into a farce, but just get it going. 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.600 I don't think as of yesterday, I haven't seen as 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.200 of today if anything has changed but as of yesterday, 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.880 Kelsey Mitchell wasn't a part of it. Sophie Cunningham wasn't 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:06.519 a part of the three point shooting competition. Weird. Well, 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.200 I'm sure it probably looks well. The raw numbers bear 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:13.880 out like this. So you have one of the MVP 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:19.160 candidates and then you have the MVP of everybody's interest 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:24.440 got to be a part of it. You got to 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.640 be a part of it. I love this. This is 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:34.320 one of my favorite stories of the day. SEC Commissioner 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:39.360 Greg Sank reiterated that his conference leaders have had conversations 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:44.720 about self governance, but told the ESPN the idea of 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:50.400 the SEC creating its own rules is quote not new, 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:56.960 and it's not a breakaway from the NCAA. I'm sorry 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:03.240 all and I mean, all of this comes down till 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:07.160 last year. I love that IU has started all this. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:13.320 Everything is just fine when you're able to dictate terms, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.360 and then the terms that you dictate it ends up 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:22.360 turning into championships. And then the moment all of a sudden, 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.680 oh wait a minute, now, what's this. Once upon a time, 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:30.080 Indiana the football team, right the program, It was like 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:34.800 the little engine that could. Hey, it's great we're gonna 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.840 climb that hill. We're gonna make some waves. We're gonna 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.720 play tough on a Saturday afternoon against a good Big 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.560 ten team. They used to be terrible and now they're 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.160 kind of good. It used to be such a cute story. 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.760 I love it. You win a national title and it's 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:57.000 no longer cute. Nobody loves it anymore except people around here. 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.720 You have Nick Saban and you know, wanting political and 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.520 that's the last thing you should want. The political leaders 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.680 can't keep track of their own crap, so sure as 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.719 hell they're not going to be able to do anything 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:18.760 with sports. None of them played sports. How are you 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.800 going to do that? I concentrate on this stuff. Concentrate 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.359 on my guys that are going out there buying a 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.480 box of cheese. It's and you don't have to pay 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:30.760 five point fifty for them. Concentrate on that. That'd be great. 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.640 There's your concentration. I don't need. I don't need a 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:41.800 politicians veering away from their target job. Well, here's what 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.679 we have to We have to figure out this sports 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.400 thing right here. Because all of us played in the 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:52.720 seventh grade. Yeah, and then we kept stats in high school. 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:59.800 Come on. But no, I love this. Everything was just 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:06.560 when your league was dominant, when there was no question 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.479 about the dominance of the SEC, everything is fun, and 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.840 now everything is foo bar. It's hilarious. I love it. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:19.159 Greg Sanke is such a whiner. That league is such 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:23.800 a whining league. And I love the fact that you 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.120 saw IU in this football program a year ago, cut 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.200 right through the middle of it, especially doing what they 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.640 did to Alabama and the Rose Bowl. There's nothing better 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.080 than that. That may have been my favorite game. I 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.919 mean hell, I went down to Miami and I watched 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:42.480 them beat the Hurricanes on their home field. And people 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.400 still want to argue that, well, that wasn't an impressive run. 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.120 It was down teams and they had an easy schedule. 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:53.080 They had to play the national title game on the 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:58.560 home field of their competition. Dumb nuts and nothing easy 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:04.720 about it. They got done exactly what they had to 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:11.040 get done. And you're gonna say, well, this wouldn't happen, 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.880 This wouldn't happen right now without James nil the transfer portal, 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.560 where would we be. I got news for you. There's 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.520 a lot of stuff with all of us right now 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.680 that's going on, and it wouldn't happen without something else 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:30.360 evolving or taking shape or happening itself. But guess what 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.880 we have to do. We have to deal with it. Hey, 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.240 I wish, I wish I was still on an AM signal, James. 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:43.200 They told me I shouldn't be. And then what's this? 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.640 Nuts is Downtown sitting on top of it trying to 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:50.160 sell it like that albatross of a building? Good luck? 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.080 What is that? Thirty five million dollars for that building? 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.000 That's what I think I heard last Yeah, I think 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:59.520 that's very reasonable in pricing, very reasonable price tag. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.760 You just love ragging on that building, man, Yeah, I. 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.960 Like ragging on Pat Walsh a lot more than the building. 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:10.480 Be honest with you and listen. I understand like Jeff 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:14.160 Smolly and he started the genre and I have thanked 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.240 him many times for that, but we all know how 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.240 that ended, so I don't have to celebrate that part 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.720 of it. I think that's fair and I just try 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:27.400 to be fair. But seriously, we all have to evolve 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.040 in situations. Do you think I like to act like 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.000 I'm twelve years old and do videos every single hour? 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:37.559 I don't, but that's a part of it. It's evolving, 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.560 and I would still think the way things have taken 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:48.920 shape today, the way things take shape in college athletics. 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.920 I mean really for me, I'm an Indiana State grad. 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.440 That's the mid majors are the ones that gets grued 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.640 because they go out and find the talent that everybody 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:04.079 else will looks and then they work with it. They cultivated, 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:08.840 and as quickly as humanly possible, once that talent gets 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.479 an offer, they get the hell out of dodge. They're done. 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.920 That's where it's difficult. Yeah, I'll tell you what, Greg 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:22.720 Sanchie stand up for Indian State University. You make dork now, seriously, 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:29.720 I love it. I absolutely love the whining because nobody cared. 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:37.720 Nobody cared when everything was stacked in their direction. Nobody cared. 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.000 You know what they can hold true to for the 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:46.840 Michigans and the Ohio states of the world. What you 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.520 do is you evolve in the situation in which you're in. 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.160 I don't know if I ever felt going back to 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.440 I remember once upon a time I was quoted. I 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.920 was quoted at a drunken pool party in Green County 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.439 by saying, yeah, you know what I think. This is 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.959 twenty fifteen. I'm gonna start taking I'm gonna start taking 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.560 some responsibilities off of my plate, and you know, you 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:15.400 kind of let others. But again, the circumstances dictated me 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.079 taking the bull by the horns instead. And all of 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.200 a sudden, Man, it is it is work. It is work. 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:26.800 It is work. Six days a week, I work. I 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.959 never thought back in twenty fifteen, I was going to 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:30.599 be working six days a week. And I know a 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.280 lot of you work six days a week as well. 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.600 And I'm not working a jackcamer by any stretch of 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:38.200 the imagination. I'm a tremendous woos and a lot of 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.480 people out there listening. They're on the farm fields, they're 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.160 working their ass off. I come in here in the 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.640 ac rocking this Oornsburg shirt from nineteen seventy eight and 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.920 yap for three hours. That's nothing. But I never thought 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.240 that I would be doing this as hard as I'm 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.480 doing this at the age of fifty six. Why because 0:10:55.880 --> 0:11:00.640 the climate dictates me working as hard. Because you look 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:05.120 at the landscape that is offered out there. Everybody that 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:10.120 now is taking the opportunity as they should to provide 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.160 those with open ears and open minds content. They're doing 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:19.360 it you can go to Best Buy and set yourself 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.720 off of the studio and you're off and running. So 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:28.240 you have to continue to work. You just do that 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:32.280 is never going to stop. And it almost seems like 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.560 the sec in this case is not about wanting to 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.360 continue to work. It's oh, we liked it. Really when 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:40.960 the chips are stacked in our favor. You know, what 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.880 is this little Indiana thing going on here? Well it's nil. 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.840 Where's Nick Saban? Can he go to Capitol Hill and 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:53.400 whine about stuff too, But we can all sit here 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:57.040 and gripe about it the entire time. But here's my choice. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.840 I choose to think it's absolutely hilarious. Because you have 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:06.920 IU football that is the defending national champion, and they've 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:14.760 got the college football hierarchy, the history, the blue bloods 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.960 as I've talked about before, they got them all twisted. 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:24.040 It's beautiful, all twisted just because of that, because of 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:28.480 a coach that had ideas, and because you have a 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.800 new set of rules that the institution and the program 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.920 take full advantage of. Man, that's exactly what everybody else 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:42.080 in the world is doing right now. Seriously, it's a 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:48.120 beautiful thing. I don't normally want to sit here and 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.840 like just rag on the sec the entire time. But 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:55.719 it's fun. Tell what, get Kirby smart, get down to 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:59.800 business here. You got one of the biggest cheating crooks 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.800 in the world now coaching in LA. He's been all 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:07.320 over the map. You guys don't care all of a sudden, 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:12.440 you care about something, don't care. All you care about 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:21.040 is winning. I love that IU football took everybody's lunch 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.680 money last year because I you football had their lunch 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:30.360 money taken for the better part of for decades plus, 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.440 or at least until I was a help. Even before 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:38.160 I was born, everybody was taking their lunch money. Now 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.640 IU does it? Now you does it? We we can't 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.720 live with this. We're going to break away. It's not 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.240 breaking away, it's absolutely what it is. Breaking away. It's 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.400 like Lebron James trying to tell us he's not chasing 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.679 a ring. There is nothing that is more defining of 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:56.040 ring chasing than Lebron James ring chasing and hype embracing. 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.880 That's what he's doing. Give me some and I want 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:02.840 to ring. Give me some more love. I haven't had 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.559 enough love yet. Can you give me some love? Hey? Rich, 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.080 Rich Paul, can you go on every show imaginable now 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.040 and give me some love. It's not about ring chase 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:15.560 at one percent about ring chasing. You're trying to leave 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.080 no doubt in the comparison of all time against Michael Jordan. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.600 I want to leave no doubt because people are always 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:29.840 going to have doubt always and I love this. Uh 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:35.200 thankees opening comments going back earlier this week with the 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.600 sec in mind quote, American culture expects March madness to happen, 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.840 he said, they expect the Cinderella story. There's no bigger 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.360 Cinderella story in the world than in two years doing 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:49.120 what IU football has done and then doing doing your 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:55.280 big time program of the process. That's beautiful. He didn't 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.320 bring this up, but others do. When he talk about 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:01.280 IU and their path to a national title. Well, you know, 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:05.160 the regular season was so easy. They navigated the regular 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:09.160 they were unbeaten, navigated the regular season, wiggled out of 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.880 situations that other teams, I don't care how good you are, 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:16.200 would not have wiggled out of. Given the circumstances, you 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.160 had to win on the road in Eugene, Oregon and 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.880 then had to beat that same Oregon Duck team again 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:28.200 Alabama the Rose Bowl, which was hilarious, and again you 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:33.080 had to beat your competition on its home field. And 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.680 by the way, too, there was no semblance of it 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.200 being the Miami Hurricanes home field because South Florida was 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:44.840 packed full of incredibly rabid IU fans. I was there 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.840 and I saw it. Couldn't believe it. Everywhere you want 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:55.440 was like Bloomington, South Florida is awesome. I love it. 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.600 This is exactly if this is the world in which 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:03.440 we're going to live and college athletics, man, I would 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.080 suggest that I you continue to feast. Others that are 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:10.840 taking advantage of this continue to feast, and the old 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:15.720 blue bloods are gonna whine. Wow, we got that to discuss. 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:20.760 If you guys like at two three nine ten seventy 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.120 three one seven two nine ten seventy that is on 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.800 the text line today. Uh, that just stuck out to me. 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.440 This does too, James. Have you heard me say this? 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:38.520 Before I played high school baseball, I played softball. Now 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.240 I was a catcher, so there was zero way I 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:45.360 was going out there without this. I always felt one 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:50.600 of the greatest inventions of my lifetime in terms of 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:56.680 athletic equipment was the jockstrap with a pouch in front, 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.440 kind of like a kangaroo jockstrap. I love that because, yeah, 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.080 I hit you know, a cup, and you slide that 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.600 right down in that pouch. It is Oh it's savvy. 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.280 Oh yeah, because I go back to the day where 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.040 I had to like wear underwear and then some tie 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:15.040 the jockstrap over the day's view is not comfortable. And 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.119 because I didn't have it, really there was not a 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.640 lot to hold anything. Then my cup was sliding down 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:25.960 my leg like if I ever made contact with the 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.919 ball and put it in play. I'm running first base 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.160 and headway. Hold on a second, I got to slow down. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:35.000 My cup is around my ankles right now, we're dangling 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:39.400 down there. But the invention of it, and I don't 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.439 know if they still I have not. Honestly, I'm not 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:46.760 rocking jockstraps too often anymore. I probably should to be honest. 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.120 With you, not rocking one right now? 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:52.280 Well, I don't play softball or baseball anymore. But my 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.840 point is I never ever stepped on a diamond, seriously 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.800 without wearing a cup. Ever. Does anybody out there agree 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:05.359 with me on this? Any dude out there, any dude 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.880 out there agree with me. Have you ever stepped or not? 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:09.960 Have you ever gone on a diamond and you've had 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.160 this thought in mind. I'm never going on a baseball diamond, 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:13.920 a softball diamond without rock and a cup. 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:15.840 I'm an agreement. 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:16.160 Yeah. 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:16.560 Yeah. 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.320 See the Oakland A's player that fouled the ball off 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:23.920 his sack I did. That should really tell the entire world. 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:26.960 Why in the world am I out here without a cup? 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.119 I'm assuming he was not wearing a cup, right, Well, 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.000 I mean you ruptured your testicle. 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:34.000 Yeah, I mean, unless you know, the impact was so 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.919 great that it, you know, shock waves or something. I 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:37.320 don't know. 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:43.360 Foul the ball off his sack, that's brutal. 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:46.359 I'm assuming he wasn't wearing protective equipment. 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.560 I think that. I think that most cups nowadays are 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.640 made solidly, so I think even a major league level 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.280 baseball player, if you foul that off your you're junk, 0:18:56.560 --> 0:19:02.280 that it wouldn't be as bad as a ruptured testicle. Yeah. 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:04.160 I can't even say that without pain. 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:09.359 I never understood why people would not wear a cup. 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.360 I mean when I played recreit like rec football, back 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.840 when I was younger, like you, know, middle school era, 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:19.080 we definitely had people who chose not to go onto 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.439 the field wearing a cup, and I never understood it. 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:26.040 Yeah, I'm a cup wear I'm not like rolling around 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.520 like well, I don't know I should even say that. 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:36.560 I mean, no, better not. You know, I think when 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:38.200 you have to stop and think about it for a moment, 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:42.680 you probably shouldn't say it. But yeah, I've never really 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.200 understood that. And what's funny about it is, I think 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:49.440 most people in baseball, I think there's a higher percentage 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:53.679 that don't wear cups. Here, let's text Tucker Barnhart and 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:58.400 see the percentage of cup wearing major League baseball players. 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:00.840 Ask him that that. 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:02.679 Would just be insanity to me. I mean with how 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.560 no way, with how fast people are pitching, and with 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:09.000 how fast those balls come off the bat. No, absolutely not. 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.080 And also you have to also consider who you are, 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:17.280 because it is more than likely that a hard hit 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.080 ball is probably gonna find your crotch. It's just way 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:24.520 that it is. Are you a lucky person, unlucky person, 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:26.280 it's probably gonna find you. Yeah. 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:28.960 Knowing me, my luck wid would run out pretty quick. 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:37.879 It's absolutely brutal. Right there, that was tough. I love it. James, 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:40.480 Please remind Jamie there's such a thing as too much 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:43.399 horn talk with a fella should be aware of it. 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.359 Horn talk, horn talk. No, no, no, no, no, uh 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:48.760 uh no, there's not. This is sports, and this is 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.399 something that is really important that I've always said this. 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:57.080 Never ever go on a baseball diamond of any kind 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.160 when you're going to participate without rocking a cup. It's 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.920 not doesn't help you, It doesn't slow you down. I 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:10.680 shouldn't say, doesn't hinder you from running. Agreed. I don't 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:11.600 care what grade you're in. 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:12.640 Oh, I'm an agreement. 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:13.160 Yeah. 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:18.280 It's weird how people universally do not agree with that 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:24.200 particular statement, but it is absolutely true. All right, busy 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:28.080 show today, we have tickets once again. You guys have 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:32.920 been all over the tickets and we have tickets once 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:36.720 again for Garth Brooks. Four shows in all, James, it 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:38.960 has been incredibly exciting, has it not? 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:39.239 Oh? 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:41.640 It has been. I mean what was it yesterday? Seventy 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:43.200 plus almost eighty people texted in. 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:45.479 Yeah, so Garth Brooks tickets coming up a little bit 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:48.400 later on. I should mention too, the Speedway City Garage 0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:51.480 that is tomorrow it will be as I talked about 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:55.679 this yesterday as well, absolutely outstanding. The Speedway City Garage, 0:21:56.000 --> 0:22:00.800 Founder's Grounds Coffee and pax Verum brewing a variety of 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:05.040 beers and including a very light beer for me right there, 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:11.200 very low in calories, just steps away from the world's 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:16.160 greatest racetrack. And then tomorrow they have the NASCAR Hauler 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:21.199 Parade going down in Speedway Main Street. I have not 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:22.880 been there. I don't want to give a shout out 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:26.200 to Jeff Matthews who has invited us to be there. 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:34.160 Now it says Monday through Thursday six thirty to eight, 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:37.399 Friday six thirty until ten. I'm assuming tomorrow is going 0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:40.040 to open up early for me at three o'clock. 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.400 I would assume, because. 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:46.000 It's going to be a Thursday of doing some drinking, 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:51.720 and you guys all got to join me the Speedway 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:58.080 City Garage tomorrow. I want to give a shout out. 0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:00.680 I am a tremendous fan and I like him a 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:04.040 great deal. I make fun of this often, which goes 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:07.239 to show you just how mature I am. But our 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:09.879 good friend, the baseball coach at Southport, he is the 0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:15.919 open upperar the Southport Field House and sometimes you have 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:18.159 to play into crappy auxiliary gym, but so be it. 0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:22.359 He opens the door so we can play pickup. James 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:25.800 Boyd plays caleble play. Others have played with us too. 0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:30.240 Here from the station. But he is involved in big 0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:37.159 league whiffle ball. It is professional whiffleball, true story. His 0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:42.080 team is the Green Apples. Now when he is unable 0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:44.560 to open up the gym for pickup, I call it 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:47.800 whiffle blank and make fun of it a little bit. 0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:52.560 But the Star has a story on him and Brendan 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:55.960 Doudas again, the Southport baseball head coach is one of 0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:58.200 the best dudes out there. Let me say once again, 0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:01.959 as I stated in a next message last hour, Perry 0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:07.679 Township Schools and Southport, certainly you are incredibly fortunate to 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:10.639 have Brendan Dudas as a part of it. Educator, coach, player, 0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:16.480 weekly Jim Opener Upper. He's just a great dude, and 0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:20.359 there is a story about him in the Indianapolis Star. 0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:26.240 I think A Gillespie has the story. Big League wiffle 0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:28.920 turns kids game at the big Time show and indie 0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:32.720 players are at the heart of it. The New York 0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:35.680 Green Apples James and they actually get in front of 0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:39.720 three hundred people at inside. Now I make fun of 0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:42.840 it all the time because I think if you even 0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:47.400 are able to make contact that you should be given 0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:49.800 a hit because these guys rarely make contact. Have you 0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:51.320 ever seen these guys throw a wolf? I mean it 0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:55.159 is all over the place. Yeah, you have to watch it. 0:24:55.200 --> 0:25:00.960 Sometime seems like a rarity when contact is made, but 0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:07.720 it is pretty awesome nonetheless. So just thun on that 0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:12.800 with our good friend Brendan Dudas of Southport High School. 0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:16.639 He is a tremendous dude. That is a tremendous story. Also, 0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:20.080 if you're asking the b one oh five point seven 0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:23.720 comedy night that's going to go down in mad Hatter, 0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:27.640 it is officially sold out. It took all of two 0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:32.320 days to sell that thing out. That's incredible, all of 0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:37.520 two days. Matt Hatter and Greenwood. That is the Saturday 0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:44.800 before the Colts open up against Baltimore. But it's me 0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:49.480
