1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: All right, Casey, there's something going on at the State House,

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: of course, and they're they're treating one of the friends

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: of the show very poorly. And I think our audience

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: is going to have to step up for this person

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: because this seems very wrong. Do you think it's because

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: of their association, Well, I think, well, that may be

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: part of it, but I also think it's because of

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: this person speaks, that speaks their mind on stuff and

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: puts date out that makes the government look bad.

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: Ah.

11
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: Yes, and so we don't like that. We need our

12
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: audience to step up here. And you're the voice of reason.

13
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: You know, I'm totally emotional about everything. Sure, you know,

14
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: and I'm you know, I'm I'll leave it to you.

15
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: But first we got to talk about the cost of

16
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner.

17
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, so later this month, obviously, Thanksgiving is coming, and

18
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: food at home prices rose two point seven percent year

19
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: over year. That's according to the Consumer Price Index. Potatoes

20
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: saw the biggest increase at three point seven percent, followed

21
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: by turkey and then chicken.

22
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: There were some price drops. Wait, wait, wait to it. Yeah,

23
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: who's even chicken for Thanksgiving? Well, we'll get to that.

24
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: Thirty eight percent of people are choosing chicken over turkey

25
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: this Thanksgiving because the price of chicken increased less than

26
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: the price of turkey.

27
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: Oh, it's an economics thing, correct, It's not like we

28
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: value having chicken for Thanksgiving. They're just simply saying, hey,

29
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: it's cheaper. Thanks to Trump and the Republicans doing nothing

30
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: to get the cost of food down, we can only

31
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: afford the chicken, right.

32
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: Forty seven percent of people say they're swapping turkey for

33
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: cheaper alternatives, number one being chicken. People are also opting

34
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: for burgers, pizza, or fast food, and cheaper cuts of

35
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: meat non traditional proteins. Ten percent say they're going to

36
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: skip a main protein entirely.

37
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: What's the what's the overall cost increased?

38
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: Does it say three point seven percent year over year? Okay, actually,

39
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, two point seven percent year over year?

40
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: Potatoes were three point seven Okay, very good? All right,

41
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: So it's pretty rotten. We have to have this converse, right,

42
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: because it's a totally first world problem. But we shouldn't

43
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: have this problem in this country, Like we shouldn't have

44
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: this deal about can you afford Thanksgiving dinner? Like I'm

45
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: sure during the depression or whatever, that that was obviously

46
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: a front and center conversation. But in your life time,

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: have you remembered saying, we'll people be able to afford

48
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner this year?

49
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: No, a full Thanksgiving meal for ten people. This is

50
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: according to empower analysis. They say it costs seventy three

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: dollars and nine cents.

52
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: However, for ten people, for ten people, so that's seven

53
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: dollars in what was the number, seventy three dollars and

54
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: nine cents, So that's seven dollars and thirty cents a person. Yeah, okay,

55
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: very good.

56
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the average person expects to spend more than that.

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: They expect to spend one hundred and thirty seven dollars.

58
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: How much one hundred and thirty seven dollars for a

59
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: meal for ten Well, gen Z is going to spend

60
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: the most, one hundred and seventy six dollar dollars, Millennials

61
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 2: then coming in at one hundred and sixty nine, gen

62
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: X one hundred and thirty five, and then Boomer's ninety dollars.

63
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: That's because the older the people get, the more they

64
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: know how to make things work. So wholesale turkey prices

65
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: are up forty percent from last year.

66
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: They yeah, they average one hundred and thirty or one

67
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: dollar and thirty two cents a pound. There are some

68
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: things that have dropped in price. Those include spices, ready

69
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: made pies, rolls, and apples.

70
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: They all dropped in price.

71
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: However, Walmart has announced a Thanksgiving basket for under forty

72
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: dollars and this includes a butterball turkey plus twenty items,

73
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: they say, and even Donald Trump was excited about that announcement.

74
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: Walmart just announced that the cost of their standard Thanksgiving

75
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: meal this is the greatest, their greatest, They're wonderful. They

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: come out every year with how much does the thanks

77
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 3: Giving meal costs compared to last year?

78
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: Right?

79
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: And it always goes up up up. It's firty percent more.

80
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: Is twenty five percent lower than one year ago. Isn't

81
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: that great?

82
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: Well that's a big deal. Rema, Okay, you just said

83
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: it was more expensive.

84
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: Well, right, There's some context that's missing in this. It's

85
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: being said that the twenty twenty five Walmart Thanksgiving meal

86
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: will contain fifteen items, while the twenty four meal twenty

87
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: twenty four meal had twenty one items and shrinkflation right,

88
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: and some of the brand names that were in the

89
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: twenty four meal are being replaced with the great value items.

90
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so right, so he's lying again. What is it

91
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: with these politicians? They just can't tell the truth. Why

92
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: can't he just come out and go, here's the reality

93
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: of what's going on the ground, the statistics you just

94
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: laid out, here's the reality with what's going on with Walmart.

95
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: This is unacceptable. We got to take the lead on this.

96
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: Here's the abs and c that we need to do

97
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: to get the cost of food under control in this country.

98
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm proposing to do that. Let's pass it. Boom,

99
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: let's go. Why can't he do that? Why does he

100
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: have to do this? Just bs about? Eh, it's Ted.

101
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 4: If only tad it had the Walmart Thanksgiving dinner, Ted

102
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: might still be alive.

103
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: Dad got a new bathroom by the way, did you

104
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: see that?

105
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 2: Yeah?

106
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: You notice the renovation? And when do you think the

107
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: last time Donald Trump ever ate a Walmart Thanksgiving there?

108
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 4: It's great, it's the best. Every year at mar Lago

109
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 4: we bring a Walmart truck in any Thanksgiving dinner.

110
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: So besides replacing some items with chicken versus turkey, twenty

111
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: three percent of people plan to cook fewer desserts, twenty

Speaker 2: Yea, twenty two percent are reducing portion sizes, and sixteen

115
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 2: percent are switching to store brands versus the brand name item.

116
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Now, do you usually eat enough to pass out?

117
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:45,880

00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: year with the upcoming special session. I guess it's not

159
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: technically a special session, but the redistricting stuff. And then

160
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: you got the regular session going to start, and he said,

161
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: I would like to be there so I may better

162
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: provide information to the masses. Now we can agree on

163
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: this that these people at Indie Reporter, they do a

164
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: lot of coverage of government right They don't have a website.

165
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: They just do it on Twitter, which is becoming a

166
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: more and more common thing these days of people using

167
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: their social media to provide information to the public at large.

168
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: So he applied for this meter credential. Now, the state House,

169
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: the way the State House works is anybody can walk

170
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: into the state House. It doesn't mean that if you

171
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: don't get a media credential, you can't walk into the

172
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: state House, but you are afforded certain privileges, etc. When

173
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: you have a credential to be media in the state House.

174
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: Like when we had our public gathering for the property

175
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: tax rally, anybody could come to that, anybody could watch that.

176
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: They weren't stopping people from coming in but there's ways

177
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: you go in things. You can set up all sorts

178
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: of things. And I thought to Okay, this is going

179
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: to be a complete noe brainer. It'll be great for

180
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: the public at large that they'll be able to be there,

181
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: they'll be able to send people there. And they didn't

182
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: died them a media credential. Okay, did they miss something

183
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: on the form?

184
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: Well, here's the here's you go through the IDOA, which

185
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: is the Indiana Department of Administration. That's right, yes, And

186
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: all media requests for information or interviews must be requested

187
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: through the Director of Communication.

188
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: That's right through the IDOA.

189
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: Media badge requests. You request a badge, plus there's a

190
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 2: ten dollars fee for it. By the way, Sure did

191
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: their their check bounce or did they not fill out

192
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: the request form properly?

193
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: Well, well, I'll read you the email. And I want

194
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,119
Speaker 1: to preface this by saying that the State of Indiana allegedly,

195
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: I mean he posted pictures of it at one point

196
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: and claimed he had it, gave a press passed too.

197
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: Convicted felon Gabe Whitley. Okay, Gab Whitley was at our

198
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: property tax rally. Remember that. Give us up on the

199
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: fifth floor in the perch everybody who's giving a very

200
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: close eye on him. But at that point I believe

201
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: Gab Whitley, while I'm not sure, yes, had he been sentenced,

202
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't know anyway, I don't know if he had

203
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: been sentenced yet, But now I believe he had pled

204
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: guilty by that by that point, and I think he

205
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: had was facing the charges the state charges against a duel,

206
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: which is he's still currently facing, which is why I

207
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: believe he still finds himself in the Marion County jail.

208
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: So late they let that guy, according to him and

209
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: that website that he put up, have a press pass.

210
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: But they are telling Steven and the Indie Reporter group,

211
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: who every day provides pertinent, relevant, studied, broken down information

212
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: on government and government documents, that they're not allowed to

213
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: have a press press. Gabe Whitley was deemed worthy to

214
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: be in the state House, but not any reporter. All right,

215
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: So here I'm going to read you the letter that

216
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: this is Molly K. Temperman, and what is her job here?

217
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: They're all the same name, right, Communications slash Legislative Director

218
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: Indiana Department of Administration. So she sounds like a big Wig.

219
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: All right, good morning, Steven, and Steven said I could

220
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: share this. By the way, historically, media credentials and access

221
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: requests have been approved based on a vetting process confirming

222
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: the requestee is media personnel employed by a recognized media outlet. Well, Molly,

223
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: what recognized media outlet was Gabe Whitley a part of?

224
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: Tell me, Molly, what respected, recognized, legitimate media outlet was

225
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Gabe Whitley a part of? And don't tell me whatever

226
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: that website that he had. Yeah, I know the name

227
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: of it, I just don't want to say it. For clarification,

228
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: the Indiana Department of Administration defines media as any newspaper

229
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,119
Speaker 1: or periodical of a general circulation, book, publishers, newswire services,

230
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: or radio or television stations, including individuals who own, publish,

231
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: or are employed by such entities. Again, which of those

232
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: boxes did Gabe Whitley? I guess if you're going to

233
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: say he started a website where he oftentimes said completely

234
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: ridiculous things, publication, I don't know, But tell me which

235
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: one of those he checked. These outlets in the ordinary

236
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: course of business published news articles, editorials, commentary, or paid advertisements.

237
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: The request form provided does not specify a media outlet

238
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: as defined above. After careful review, both Brian Renner, IDA

239
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: Deputy Commissioner over Operations and I have denied this request. So,

240
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: according to the State of Indiana, convicted felon who I

241
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: believe he had the press release to come out that

242
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: he'd pled guilty by the Tiber property tax rallied, etc.

243
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: Gabe Whitley was allowed to have one of these. But

244
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: Steven and the Indie Reporter group, who haven't harmed anyone,

245
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: they're not on the run from the law of any sort,

246
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: they're not endangering their fellow man. They don't get anything.

247
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: And you know why they're not giving it to him

248
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: because they don't like what they put out. They don't

249
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: like that they get of the dirt and the information.

250
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: Plow through these documents to give you information so you

251
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: can know how corrupt and rotten your government actually is.

252
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 2: Did they just say outright no to him or did

253
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: somebody contact him and vet him? Well, this is an

254
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: email because this is once submitted and authorized representative from

255
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 2: the IDOA will review your request and forward it to

256
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 2: the Access Control Office.

257
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: Well, I've read you the email that was sent to him.

258
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: So here's what we.

259
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: Need to say they're not considering an independent journalist media

260
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: credential worthy.

261
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: Well, certainly not one that gives you the information. And

262
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: it's not about whether you like the guy's politics or

263
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: the people, or their politics or their views or whatever.

264
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: The fact is on a daily basis, any person with

265
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: an IQ above seven can look at that account and

266
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: realize the majority of their time is spent posting government

267
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: documents and government information and providing they do more than

268
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: most media outlets in this city do in terms of

269
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: uncovering information. Now, you don't have to like them, you

270
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: don't have to agree with them, you don't have to celebrate.

271
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: Then you don't have to invite him over to your

272
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: enhanced priced Thanksgiving dinner. But the idea that they're not

273
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: doing valuable work that other media is using, by the way,

274
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: and not just us. They get mentioned on other people

275
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: on this radio station, et cetera. But you'll let Gabe

276
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: Whitley in. So here's what we need to do. I

277
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: need a favor from the WIBC audience because many of

278
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: you know and like Steven and he's been a contributor

279
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: to this show in the past, and we mentioned him

280
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: quite a bit. We need to contact Molly K. Temperaman

281
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: and demand that the Indie reporter be given a media

282
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: credential to cover the upcoming legislative session. That sounds really

283
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: wants what access to the Senate floors? That is, well,

284
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. He just wants whatever the media is

285
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: allowed to have. He says, I would like to be

286
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, a part of what I guess by the

287
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: Gay Whitley standard, he just needs to buy a domain

288
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: name and throw it on a domain. He's what I

289
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: was going to say. Maybe he just needs a website, right,

290
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean, is that the standard, Molly K. Temperaman, that's

291
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: the question. What is the standard? If he just starts

292
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: a ridict website with all sorts of untruths on it,

293
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: then you'll just give it to him. I mean, is

294
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: that what we're saying? And just what a what is

295
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: a go Daddy account?

296
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: Now?

297
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: Ten bucks? I don't know.

298
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: Well, by that standard, you could say that anybody with

299
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: a Twitter account then could be considered media.

300
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: That's I think that that's what okay, But they've already

301
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: sent the presidents of letting a convicted felon who ended

302
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: up going to federal prison. You and I were bought there, right,

303
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: we remember this event in which he was He was

304
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: in September is when that happened. Yeah, No, he was

305
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: in prison in the spring. He got him maybe got

306
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: out then he was you sure, yes, okay, yes, we'll

307
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: have to go back and look at the dates. The

308
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: point is he went to the federal pokey. He's currently

309
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: in the Marion County pokey last check, last I knew,

310
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: and he may be about to go to a state

311
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: pokey depending on how that criminal that his media batch

312
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: was provoked. Well, the point is they knew or should

313
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: have known, most of this stuff when they gave it

314
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: to him. So here is the contact info. If you

315
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: can just take two minutes for old pal Steven and

316
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: you can contact this woman. Now again she's a public employee.

317
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: This is the public phone number. I'm not giving her

318
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: personal information. We own this phone line as taxpayer, so

319
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: I don't have any problem given out this this information.

320
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: Do you do you think I'm doing anything egregious or wrong? No,

321
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: as long as it's the work number. Yeah, and you

322
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: tell you tell Molly K. Temperman that you demand Steven

324
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: so the phone number if you'd like to call, you

00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: can call her at three one seven five two two

326
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,240

Speaker 1: two two nine six three one. I'll give that out

328
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: one more time than the email. If you're an email

329
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: person like me, three one seven five two two nine

330
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: six three one, you can also email. Let's see what

331
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: did email this come from? It came from media relations

332
00:16:54,800 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: at IDA dot I in dot gov. That's media relations,

333
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: media relations at IDA dot I in dot gov. And

334
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: I'll send an email here during the break, and you

335
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: should ask why did convicted felon Gabe Whitley get a

336
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: media credential and Stephen Whitmer and the Indie Reporter account

337
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: are being denied. We demand, we demand that the Indie

338
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: Reporter crew so that we may have all the dirt

339
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: in the tea on what's going on in the General

340
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: Assembly and information.

341
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is Kendall and Casey. It's ninety three wibc ame.

342
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: Mister Timmarinemond the song for me.

343
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 2: I'm not sleepy and there's no place I'm going to.

344
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: We can just let it roll if you want.

345
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 2: A misterman bless Matt and I had a huge conversation

346
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: yesterday about the Bob Dylan movie versus the Bruce Bringstea movie.

347
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, let's reset everything for everybody. This is Kennelly,

348
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: Casey Show, I'm Rob, that's Casey. Matt is our boss,

349
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: Matt hibblin. Well, he says he's not our boss, right,

350
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: is he actually our boss? He is? He's a level.

351
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: He's always like he doesn't want to work with us,

352
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: so he's he's like, I'm not your boss. I can't

353
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: hire you a fire, I'm not your boss. But he

354
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: can tell us what to do. But he says he can't.

355
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: He need to soft suggestions. He changes his mind based

356
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: on whatever the event is, whether he wants to deal

357
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: with it or not, whether he wants to deal with

358
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: us or not.

359
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: But we were he was reading some article and he

360
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: was like, I'm just trying to figure out why the

361
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen movie didn't do as well, and you know,

362
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: and the Bob Dylan and why people would want to

363
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: see that versus that, and and I and I asked him,

364
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: if you were to make a movie and you had

365
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: to pick a musical artist, who would you pick?

366
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: Right, Because the Bruce Springstey movie.

367
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 2: Was about a specific time, yes, in his life, Bob

368
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: Dylan's it was a little bit longer. And then he

369
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 2: was talking about the Elvis movie like there were no

370
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 2: surprises there.

371
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: You knew what was going to happen. And I asked him,

372
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: if you were to write a movie.

373
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: Who would you pick as a musical artist that you

374
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: would find entertaining that you would want to go see

375
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 2: a movie.

376
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: About their life? What do you say?

377
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: Well, we came up with the Rolling Stones would probably

378
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 2: be fascinating. And also Michael Jackson.

379
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but.

380
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: Mostly because of all of the ancillary people that were

381
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 2: in and out of their lives as well well.

382
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: And we talked about this yesterday and did I or

383
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: did I not call it the moment I saw that

384
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: trailer months ago, I said that thing's going to fail.

385
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: And it's you. You know this because you were a

386
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: music programmer for years and every year, you know, would

387
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: people go out and eat ice cream, They're always like,

388
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: I want this great wacky flavor, right, like more flavors,

389
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: more experiences. But every year at dairy Queen Vanilla's the

390
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: number one Vanilla is the number one server because you

391
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: got to serve to the masses what everybody will eat.

392
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean there is a consumer base for the super

393
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: cherry chewy chocolate chip, but that's a very eclectic, acquired

394
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: group of people who will buy it versus the masses.

395
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: And in the case of the Springsteen movie, the story

396
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: that they were telling is not a story that's compelling

397
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: to the masses, because it was about a time that

398
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: he wasn't touring, he wasn't doing interviews. It was an

399
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: album and I love that album that in the moment

400
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: nobody bought. Now people went back and bought it later

401
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: after they discovered him from Born in the USA, And

402
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: that's basically the arc of Bruce Springsteen. He was this

403
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 1: incredibly talented guy who was massive on the coast pre

404
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: Born in the USA, really struggled in the middle of

405
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: the country, does this incredible album where he's the biggest

406
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: rock star in the world, and then lives off that.

407
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: You know. He was also this incredible live act, right,

408
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: but didn't really have much commercial success for almost twenty

409
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: years after that. Had a great comeback in the two thousands.

410
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: But most people when they think of Bruce Springsteen, they

411
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: think of Born in the USA. Sure, and then some

412
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: of this other stuff they uncovered the river, darkness in

413
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: the edge of town Born to Run. But if you

414
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: were gonna make a movie that was gonna be the

415
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: vanilla ice cream of Bruce Springsteen, it would have been

416
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: Born in the USA, or even the story of Born

417
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: to Run is incredible and most people know it by now.

418
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: It's the great forgot you know, the success story. But

419
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: you wouldn't do This is the equivalent of serving triple

420
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: double mocha cherry chewy chocolate chip and going why did

421
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: more people want to eat that? Yeah?

422
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: Well, I mean my argument was that the arc of

423
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: that is not very good. The struggle, it's great, Casey. No,

424
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: the struggle of that keyrrty mouth shut. It was all

425
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 2: his own internal struggle.

426
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: That's the whole premise of the guy, Casey. That's why

427
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: we like it is.

428
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 2: The expectations that he put on himself, though it was

429
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 2: so self serving.

430
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: Hi, pot meat kettle, who do you look at every day? Casey?

431
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: Your own internal struggles in misery were created because your

432
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: two selfs Hello, yeah, you want to go see that

433
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: in a movie? O again the mirror.

434
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, like, why would you want to

435
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 2: go pay to watch that?

436
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: But I thought the fun question was he determined.

437
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: Matt was saying that, Okay, if you're gonna make a

438
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: movie about music, maybe it would be more interesting to

439
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 2: do an era or a genre versus one individual artist.

440
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: Well, but I think you guys touched on two people.

441
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: That'd be interesting because it is vanilla ice Cream. Everybody

442
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: knew for a long period of time Michael Jackson and

443
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: were fascinated with him because he was such a freak show,

444
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: both in his talents and abilities but also his bizarro

445
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: personal life. Right, And there's so many places you could

446
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: take that. I've said, Springsteen's like the most boring guy

447
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: to make a movie about because he was scandal free,

448
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: he didn't do drugs. His effort and life played out

449
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: in the music and the live performances. His love life

450
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: was mundane by rock standards. The Rolling Stone, Holy Smokes.

451
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that?

452
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 2: That would be a long movie, like where do you

453
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: start and end it?

454
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: But you would be like, I gotta see what do

455
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: they say about the allegations of was it Mick Jagger

456
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: and David Bowie or you like all that stuff. You'd

457
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 1: just be like, what are they gonna do with this?

458
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do with that. That's the vanilla

459
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: ice cream. That's the stuff that people, the masses would

460
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: eat up. And whether it's music or to some extent,

461
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: talk radio or movies or whatever, you gotta serve something

462
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: that the people in large quantities want to eat. Mm hmm.

463
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: And I think if I were to see that Bruce

464
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 2: Springsteen movie now, I would almost be more interested in

465
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: watching Jeremy Alan White transform into him than the actual

466
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 2: story of Bruce Springsteen.

467
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: Inner Pain is very compelling case, is it.

468
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: We got to take a break and get to the news.

469
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: It is ninety three WYBC.

470
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: Did you send your email? Apparently there's a lot of

471
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: people that are the do listen to this show? Yeah,

472
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: we were told nobody listens, but apparently the Department administration

473
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: is getting a flood of inquiries based in our recent segment.

474
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: So have you missed it? Our old pal Stephen from

475
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: Indie Reporter, who does great work digging, and then the

476
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: staff there there's a bunch of mariananymous misfits that don't

477
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: dare peek their head out of the ground. Who'd go

478
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: through all those documents? And you know, look, I don't

479
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: agree with all Steven's opinions on stuff. And sometimes he'll

480
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: say things and I say, WHOA, I don't know. But

481
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: in terms of finding government documents and going through them

482
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: and doing the work and letting the people know what's

483
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: going on, that Indie Reporter account does a lot of

484
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: great work. They had applied for this press or media

485
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: badge or whatever it's called for the upcoming session, because hey, redistricting,

486
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: all this stuff going on, we'd like to be there

487
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: in the you know, in the person. And you'd think

488
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: if the standard is letting convicted federal felon Gabe Whitley

489
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: have a pass, which he claimed they did, and he

490
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: was there doing various alleged media activities, you can't go

491
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 1: much lower than that guy. And then for some reason

492
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: they denied the Indie Reporter. Now we know why they

493
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: did that. They don't like him. They don't like his politics,

494
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: they don't like that he gives information that we and

495
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: others use. They don't like him digging into No, they don't,

496
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: so they do not money. We read the email that

497
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: they sent him, which was ridiculous. It was from what's

498
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: her name here? Her name was Molly K. Temperman. And

499
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: so then we said everyone should write and call and

500
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: demand that they give Steven and the Indie reporter crew

501
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: a press pass. Look, by all accounts, I'm not aware

502
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: of any felonious activity that any of those people are

503
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: involved in, not that it would matter. They gave one

504
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: to Whitley, but he's not on the they're not on

505
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: a post office anywhere. They're not causing disturbances, they're not

506
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: owing large amounts of money to the government, state or

507
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: federal like they're they're they're you know, hopping over all

508
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: the I guess standards. And so by the way, if

Speaker 1: are you cutting off access to our state house from

552
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: people who are clearly providing information to the public. And

553
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: the biggest question of all is how did Gay Whitley

554
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: get a breastpass right? What standard could these people possibly

555
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: possibly be Indy reporters not getting one? That's very interesting anyway,

556
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: go ahead. Tom Brady cloned a dog?

557
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 2: Is that right?

558
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: Do we have time to talk about this real? Yeah?

559
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: To Tom Brady said that his dog Juny, is a

560
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 2: clone of a dog that passed away previously.

561
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: It's very weird, you think, so, it's very strength.

562
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 2: It was done by Colosso Biosciences, it's a biotech firm

563
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: Tom Brady invests in that wanted to make sure that

564
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: his investment was working.

565
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: That sounds scary, a scary a lot. Yeah, and I

566
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: want no part of Hey, did you hear that pennies

567
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: are going away? Like j C pennies? No, like the

568
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: copper penny one cent. Oh that also sounds very bad.

569
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it may affect you at your next McDonald's trump.

570
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: We'll tell you why. Coming up from ninety three, WIBC.

571
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 4: Young said by gon't.

572
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: Bested, So what do you tell me? Casey McDonald's rimming

573
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: everyone else. I don't know about that.

574
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: But they are rounding cash transactions to the nearest nickel.

575
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: And this is at some.

576
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: Locations, not all locations, but this is happening across the country.

577
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: And it's because there's a penny shortage.

578
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so they have determined it costs far more

579
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: to make the penny than the penny is actually worth.

580
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: And now there's a push to eliminate the penny and

581
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: as part of that is getting harder and harder with

582
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: fewer people using cash to get pennies. So McDonald's just

583
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: basically said, f this rounding up or down to the

584
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: nearest nickel. If you're some old easer like rob who

585
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: just uses cash when you go places, you gotta make

586
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: us work. That's gonna be the delio. We're not gonna

587
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna eat at McDonald regardless. We're not gonna mess

588
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: with it. If you're you know, if you're so, if

589
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: your deal comes to blah blah, seven dollars and thirty

590
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: four cents now seven dollars and thirty five cents.

591
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: Right, Well, an example, if a meil costs twelve dollars

592
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: and six cents, they would round down to twelve dollars

593
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: and five cents.

594
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: So you actually, oh, you could make money. You can

595
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: make money them. You got to really think that through though.

596
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: In order to make one, right, you have to order properly.

597
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it all comes because the US Mint stopped

598
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 2: producing pennies earlier this year.

599
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: Right, so they're done. So when whatever these pennies that

600
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: are in circulation now age out, phase out, get lost

601
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: in drains, whatever, we're done with the penny. Yeah, isn't

602
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: that crazy.

603
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just we're just not going to have more produced.

604
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 2: So the rounding at McDonald's only applies to cash payments,

605
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: credit card and app purchases aren't affected by this. So yeah,

606
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: if you're the type of person who's carrying cash around

607
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: for your McDonald's purchase, there's a chance you could be

608
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: rounded up or rounded down?

609
00:30:59,200 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: Does it say?

610
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: What? So?

611
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: Like is a two and up and a down? So

612
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: let's say I was at a uh a three. That's

613
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: a toss up, right, where does it go? Well, that's

614
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: what I'm asking, is like, so if you're at such

615
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: and such a thirty two cents, does that still go down?

616
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: It all round down? I bet the three goes up.

617
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: They're always do in their favor exactly right. Oh well, okay,

618
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: so this is not as clear cut and dry as

619
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: I thought that McDonald's is doing some cash haul here.

620
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: They it may go about even maybe a little in

621
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: their favor. But I actually hear this out now and

622
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: I think, well, maybe that's not Maybe that's not so

623
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: bad because do you think about how long I remember this,

624
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: I worked a cash register multiple times in my life.

625
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: How long it takes to count change the pennies out.

626
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 2: Right when you're when you're exing er zing it out

627
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, do you ever have

628
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 2: to do that bow south?

629
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: The cash register.

630
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: Well, that's gonna create I don't know if it would

631
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: be a problem, but some discrepancies.

632
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 3: You know.

633
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: It's interesting. When I was I worked at the cash

634
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: register at the Arby's. The Belove Browns were Arby's in

635
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: high school, of course you did, and they were very

636
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: strict about all that stuff matching out. Now. When I

637
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: worked the golf course, one of my deals was I

638
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: would close the golf course and I was in charge

639
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: of the pro shop and the money, and like they

640
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: were so nonchalant is not the right word, but they

641
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: were like, even with the nickels or whatever, hey, if

642
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: this is with it, if you're close enough, they told me.

643
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: They were like, if you're within two or three dollars,

644
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: we don't want to hear about it, right, And I

645
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: was like, wow, we've come along terms of counting cash exactly,

646
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: because they said, we've got a camera on everyone at

647
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: all times. You know, if you're pill we know what's

648
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: going on. They tell you that after you camera there

649
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: amcil the coughs show up. Right.

650
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: So there's some other retailers that are experiencing penny shortages

651
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 2: as well, like Kroger and Loves and also Home Depot.

652
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: But no word on whether those places will be rounding

653
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 2: up or rounding down.

654
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: I do wonder in my lifetime if we will become

655
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: a all cashless society.

656
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 2: I was thinking about that last night. Went to the

657
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: Pacers game and paid for parking, and.

658
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: Well, you paid you work at the radio station. I

659
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: was not walking at night. It's down the game feet

660
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: to No, it's farther than that.

661
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: You've heard the stories about crime in Indianapolis. I mean

662
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 2: when you have the Attorney General trying to call in

663
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 2: the National Guard.

664
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: I was not taking a chance. Rob in my life,

665
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: where is much too pressure? Where did you park? That's

666
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: closer than the radio station at the actual fieldhouse? But

667
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: what did you pay? Fifty bucks? It was thirty You

668
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: paid thirty bucks the park and you have a parking pass.

669
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 2: I don't have a parking pass for gamebridge. I have

670
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: a parking pass for the radio.

671
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: This is why I don't go places with you. This

672
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: is why that is. That is the story of the segment.

673
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: I wish i'd known we would have left with that.

674
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: You would have made fun of me anyway, go ahead,

675
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: But when.

676
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: I pulled into the parking garage, you know, it just

677
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 2: gave them the credit card and they just tapped it

678
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 2: on their little machine. Isn't There's no swiping, There's none

679
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 2: of that. It was just a little tap, very quick easy.

680
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: I was in, I was out quickly, no problem.

681
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: Now, if I'd have been your husband, here's what I

682
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: would have said. Yeah, I would have said, look here, lady,

683
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: I'll drop you off. Get to walking in front of

684
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: the stadium. Uh huh. And then you would have left

685
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: me there by myself. Oh well, you could be here

686
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: in front of the stadium. What are they gonna do,

687
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: kidnapping for the stadium before?

688
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 2: I'm busy pacers, and you never know, I am a

689
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 2: high profile person who co hosts a show with somebody

690
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 2: who's very bumped back.

691
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: All times. I will park back at the lot and

692
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: then I will walk back here because I'm not paying

693
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: it's thirty bucks to park. Yeah, it was thirty bucks

694
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: to park. That's that's the story.

695
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 2: Right.

696
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: As bad as the Pacers are, they should be paying

697
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: you to park.

698
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: You know, we were sitting there watching the game, and

699
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 2: I said to Jim at one point because they were

700
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: playing the Brooklyn Nets, and had not heard of any

701
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 2: of the players on the other team except for the

702
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 2: head coach.

703
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: But I asked him, I said, what did these guys make?

704
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 2: And he said, well, I think the league minimum is

705
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 2: over million dollars and I said what an he said, well, yeah,

706
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: let me look at over these well one point two

707
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 2: million dollars for a minimum, even the rookies.

708
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: And then he looked it up. It's like one point

709
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: seven million dollars. And that made.

710
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: Me angry because these are grown ass men playing a game,

711
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 2: and even a rookie in their first year is making nearly.

712
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: Two million dollars. And I don't mean to rain on

713
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: your parade, but I need to point out to you.

714
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: You know how they're able to pay them that much

715
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: money because people like you with parking passes still pay

716
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: thirty dollars to park at the game.

717
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 2: That's incredible, though, that a basketball player in his rookie

718
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 2: year is making almost two million dollars.

719
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: It's not as incredible to me as someone with a

720
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: premium parking pass paid thirty dollars to park in downtown Indianapolis. Yeah,

721
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: I'm sorry anyway, hope you had fun at the game.

722
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: Well we did, We had fun. Yeah, you were very close. Yeah, yes,

723
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: second for roll, Yeah, those were some nice tickets to

724
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: throw a hot dog at anyone.

725
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 2: No, but I ate a hot dog. I was trying

726
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 2: to reenact that Sydney Sweeney.

727
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: How they go? How much is a hot dog?

728
00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: Oh?

729
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't know for it. I was paying attention. They

730
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: are just that wealthy. I don't know. I you know what.

731
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: We walked up and I made my order. Gay all right,

732
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: that's it for me. I'm done, all right, Thanks Rob,

733
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: Thanks Kevin, thank you for listening.

734
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 2: It's been Kendall and Casey on ninety three WYBC
