Hey, welcome man. I am so excited 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:03.120 about our location today. I was just talking to Jeff Matthews, 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.600 the owner, about it. Jeff's going to join us coming 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.040 up a little bit later on. We are at the 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:14.600 Speedway City Garage today and hopefully that is a location 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.959 you know very well now back in the day, and 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.760 we were talking about too, how far back I go. 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.640 My grandparents moved to Speedway in nineteen ninety five, and 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:29.200 I was up here nearly every weekend, so you know, 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:33.440 obviously the night before the five hundred or carb Day, 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.480 or when the Brickyard four hundred first started in ninety four. 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.760 I was up here for it, Saint Christopher's, the festivals, 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.040 I was up here for nearly all of them. The 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.880 basketball court behind Saint Christopher's I played there all the time, 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.280 So I was up here all the time. And I 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.600 know Speedway very well and very excited to be here. 0:01:54.000 --> 0:02:00.000 This is a combination of coffee and food and bevere 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:05.520 Bridge beer and cocktail. It is called the Speedway City Garage. 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.640 Jeff's gonna join us coming up in a couple of minutes. 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.600 We're going to talk about that on this show with 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.639 him throughout, and Doug Boll, Speedway President's going to join 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.480 us coming up a little bit later on as well. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.200 And we'll get your Thursday started here in the afternoon 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.600 and the weekend leading into the brick You'rerod four hundred 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.119 off to a fantastic start. Now. The other thing that's 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.680 going on here is I've never seen it because I'm 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.320 always on the air, and I don't think I've ever 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.799 been out here when it is going on. But the 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:36.840 hauler parade goes on here, and I do want to 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.560 also give a shout out to Sam of Speedway PD, 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.239 who is an awesome dude, is out there right now too. 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.400 But the Haller Parade is going to happen, and evidently 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.760 that is something that a lot of people attend. So 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.280 we'll be here for the Haller Parade. We shall be 0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:00.280 here for you. There is plenty of opportunity for you too. 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:04.919 This is a multifaceted place here when you think about it, 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.239 because for example, and we'll talk about the beer in 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.480 which I'm drinking. James knows this because he looked it up. 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.040 Pax Verum, they're the ones that put this together. This 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.440 light logger that they have, this is one hundred and 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.800 five calories. I'm feeling really good. But pax Verum about 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.840 this right now too. So we've got that the many 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:29.560 styles that they have of beer, the Founder's Grounds coffee 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.080 that they have here as well, but they also have 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:36.320 great food. They also make cocktails. This is just an 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:40.880 incredible place. So on this Thursday when we're blessed with 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.400 incredible weather, it's very unlike the end of July right now, 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.200 which yeah, I know I need it hotter and more sweaty, 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.800 but everybody digs this type of weather and this is 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:56.960 the spot to do it, the Speedway City Garage. We 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.480 are here until six o'clock. I'll be hanging well after that, 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.480 so plenty of time for you and a busy schedule. 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.280 As I mentioned, Speedway President Doug Bowles, who was here 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.640 a little bit earlier today, is going to join us 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.520 coming up on the four o'clock hour live here. So 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.560 if you haven't met Doug before, I haven't talked to 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:17.120 Doug before, this is going to be your opportunity to 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.880 do just that. We've got that. We've got Mike Chappel 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.080 of CBS four and Fox fifty nine who was going 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.000 to join us. I mentioned Jeff Matthews, who was the owner. 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.880 The inspiration of this place is that of Jeff. And 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.919 here's the interesting dynamic with Jeff. He and I go 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:36.479 back aways. Although I don't think we really do. We 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.359 cross paths much in taro Hoa to Indiana State. 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:40.520 We did. 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.160 But he was and I make fun of him all 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.440 the time, and I'm probably going to have to eat 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.520 a little bit of crap here today. Pikes, he was 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.960 a pike. They're the ones I talk about that had 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:57.760 all dude parties back in the day. So he's We're 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.040 going to make sure that wasn't always the case. Evidentally, 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.279 but we'll talk to Jeff about that. In our days 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.520 at Indiana State, we were just comparing a lot of 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.440 the stats. He was a manager at Indiana State, and 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:13.680 I was the guy that had all the parties. He 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:18.120 was a manager for Tates Locke at Indiana State. Uh, 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:22.480 Tates Locke had a squad that wasn't always so great. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:28.200 Tates Locke had among other players for end of the show, 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.640 and you know PJ. Thompson Isaiah Thompson obviously of high 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.080 school and now collegiate fame, and you know PJ is 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.800 going to become I'm assuming the next head coach after 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:43.360 Matt Painter up in West Lafaietta Purdue. But their father 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:48.240 Isles South Thompson, the guard from Pike and the South. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.480 Thompson and Marcus Johnson were both at Indiana State at 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.320 the same time and playing for Tates Locke as Jeff 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.200 and I were at Indiana State. And while Jeff was 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.880 the manager for Tates Locke and the Sick back then, 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.440 I was the guy that through the parties and that 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.800 Tates Locke ended up saying, you know what, you guys 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.120 are no longer allowed to ever go to this guy's 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.240 parties again, which merely made me feel good. So it 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.560 was pretty good. They were no longer you cannot go 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.600 to Ethan Crawford ever again, no more six oh six 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.039 South fifth, no more sixth than deming. They were not 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.119 allowed to go. It was a director from the head coach. 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.400 They were not allowed to go to my parties. But 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:32.599 the manager is Jeff, not only that tremendous race fan, 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.640 tremendous IndyCar fan, and with NASCAR coming in town this 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.320 weekend and in fact later on today with the haul 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.159 or parade, we're going to talk to Jeff about what 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.320 he has done here. And I say this all the time, 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.719 if there's a place outside of where I live down 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:51.839 in Bargainsville that I love even more than when I 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.520 grew up in Green County in his Speedway. I love Speedway, 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.359 and I have been here with Speedway when main Street 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.760 was not nearly the way that it is right now. 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:06.600 I don't know if you truly understand if you live 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:11.040 in Speedway or around Speedway, how fortunate you are to 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.600 have places like the Speedway City Garage and Main Street. 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:20.160 It is absolutely spectacular and the way that it continues 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.480 to evolve. The one thing that we're going to try 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.160 to do, I'm gonna go over across the road here, 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.400 across Main Street and tear down whatever the hell this 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.040 thing is right here that's been up here forever. Once 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.400 we get rid of that or do something with that, 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.840 and we'll talk to Jeff I'm sure about that, and 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.240 Doug Bowles coming up. Once we do something with this, 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.920 the skeletal remains of an ill advised project. Once we 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:48.040 do that, this place is going to be, as the 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:53.000 young people say, absolutely cooking. It is awesome and I 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.480 love Speedway. It is a tip of the cap to 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.600 those that had this vision to put all of this 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:04.040 together and actually next to the incredible Indianapolis Motor Speedway 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.440 for days like today or days like any other day 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.160 when we can all get together and have one hell 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.560 of a time. We are at the Speedway City Garage 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.240 and I'll explain it all to you. And while I 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.520 explain it to you, you should be on the inbound 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:21.880 getting over here and being a part of this, because 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.800 this is exactly what we're looking for for the Hall 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.680 of Parade coming up later on today. And then what 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:32.960 is going to be a Brickyard four hundred weekend coming 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.360 up here at IMS. And listen, the late great Robin 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:40.000 Miller always said this, and I believe this to be 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:43.320 one hundred percent true. No matter what you think about 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.800 NASCAR and the Brickyard four hundred and the way that 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.480 it was in ninety four compared to the way that 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.920 it is right now, just always keep this in mind. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:58.280 Robin Miller always would say, whenever they open the doors, 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:03.400 whenever they open the gates to IMS, that's a good day, 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.320 and it's worthy of your time and your effort and 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:12.000 your interest. And he was absolutely right. We certainly miss 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.840 r there's no doubt about that. But he was so 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.840 right about that every time they opened the gate, every 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.600 time they opened the doors to IMS, it is worthy 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.000 of being a part of it because it just stirs 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:29.760 so many incredible memories. And that's what we're doing again today. 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.880 And this place is outstanding. So we'll explain that. Coming up. 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.440 Jeff's going to join us here. Dan Wetzel is going 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.080 to join us. Coming up at the bottom of the hour, 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.800 I saw where Iu got one of the top ranked 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.719 quarterbacks coming in out of high school as a part 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.240 of a recruiting class. We'll get to that story. And 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.920 also with Dan, it's interesting the dynamic you got going 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.040 on right now. You got the rest of the college 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:58.480 football world hating, absolutely hating Kurt Signetti and IU. And 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.200 it's funny. There are some things we never thought that 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:06.240 we would talk about, certainly witness in this world, and 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.079 that would have been where I was in January down 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:13.560 in Miami for a national championship IU football team. But 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.760 the way that they are universally now in college football 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:22.120 hated by everybody, it is absolutely awesome, and I mean 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:27.160 absolutely awesome. Does that not make you feel good? IU 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.400 football fans? I mean, hell, you're the defending national champions 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:34.440 You should feel good enough anyway, but that should feel 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:39.840 even better. The fact that the Georgia's, the Alabamas, the LSUS, 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.600 the SEC, the rest of the Big Ten, the Michigan's, 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:48.920 the Ohio States, the USC's, the Oregons, the Oklahoma's, the 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.480 Texas to they all hate you. It's a beautiful thing, 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.600 it really is. Dan Wetzel and I discussed that, and 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.480 then the massive changes that are going on in Michigan. 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.280 They've had I had a lot of issues and then 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.319 they won a national championship by doing what they hired 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.839 somebody from Green County to coach a team, to help 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.520 coach them to a national championship in Dusty May. And 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.280 then Dusty May got offered by the Dallas Mavericks, which 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.240 was a dream, but also probably saw that this whole 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.559 Michigan thing is really, really weird. And we'll go over 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.840 the really really weird part of about that Michigan dynamic 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.040 with Ward Manuel, who is the outgoing ad, and more 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.600 with Dan Wutsill coming up at the bottom of the hour. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.680 Colts Camp is going to start for the final time 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.240 in Westfield that is coming up next week, and we'll 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.720 get into that the final time at Grand Park in Westfield, 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.680 which I think is a massive mistake and also reeks 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:46.680 we're trying to save money and move back to West 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.440 fifty sixth Street coming up next year. But camp is 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.680 next week, and I cannot remember a time when there 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.760 is more apprehension from Colts fans to really truly jumping 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.839 on board and believe much about what is going on, 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.520 not even last year. This year is also because here's 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.680 the dynamic that works with the Colts this year is 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.880 you have injuries, all right, They say this guy is 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.600 going to be ready, But really, everything in the past 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.560 that they have said has never really truly worked out, 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.400 So why should I buy it. Whether we're talking about 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:26.079 a quarterback or a wide receiver or a defensive tackle, 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:31.319 you have three major portions of this team, and I'm 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.920 not even going to factor in Mooney Ward, who is 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:39.120 a concussion away maybe from being done, or Sauce Gardner 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.920 coming back from an injury, or believing that your secondary 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.160 is going to be the primary defensively to keep you 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.560 guys on top over what is going to be a 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.920 consistent pass rush. Yeah, that is out of the ordinary, 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:56.120 without question. But even the belief last year I think 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.800 was more than what you have going in to this year. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.040 Mike Chappel and I discussed that on the start of 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.080 camp coming up in Westfield. Hey, listen, all you have 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:09.079 to do is one significant thing that you have to do, 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.360 and you have to win. If you win, you will 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.400 squash a lot of what you believe to be a 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:22.079 ridiculous conversation. If you don't, then everybody around here, every 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.160 numb nuts like me around here, will end up being 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:30.880 accurate about the situation. So that we shall see Mike 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.560 Chappel joins us. Coming up in the five o'clock hour, 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.840 we will go full scale discussion. All right, a couple 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:40.920 of things here, the Fever role standing last night. I'm 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.760 a huge basketball fan. You know that, I'm a huge 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:48.920 offensive basketball fan, and what they did to Connecticut. First 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.200 of all, Connecticut really does stink. They're not any good, 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:57.600 but to do that, to be that dominant against the 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:03.839 opposition is impressive and honestly comes around at a perfect time. 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.719 Now you're going to the All Star break and you're 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:10.320 going to help figure things out. Came at a perfect time, 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.320 and really hopefully this is a rebirth of sorts to 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:17.000 become what everybody thought you were going to be, if 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:22.240 that makes sense. Last night was I thought, an exceptionally 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.440 good night for the Fever. One twenty three eighty eight. 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.920 That's a franchise record in points. Caitlin Clark early on 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.840 could not miss. I mean really, nobody could miss. There 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.040 was not a lot of defensive resistance from the Sun. 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.640 They just didn't have it in them. And hopefully that 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:44.440 is more of the product of the Fever than anything else, 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.840 because they can come at you in waves. I know 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.840 people want to talk about this and I'll bring it 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.160 up and I'll tell you where I stand on it, 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:59.320 because I brought this up before. It's really easy to 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.880 look at a a technical situation with Kaitlyn Clark and 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.760 know how good she is. But look at that situation 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:11.440 and know that she's one more away from being suspended 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.080 for a game. She's got seven right now, got one 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.120 last night. And I'm gonna agree with everybody out there. 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.000 Not always do I agree with you. It was an 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:26.920 incredibly soft technical soft Again, what I have to tell 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:32.720 you is, these officials are dumbasses. They're not any good. 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.560 You always have to keep that in mind. And I 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.720 know when you're living in the moment when you got 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:41.640 somebody that did one stinking thing right the entire game. 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:46.840 That Rivers chick did one thing right. She ripped Kaitlyn Clark, 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.680 went to the other end, scored on a lefty layup, 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.080 and then talked junk one thing right. They're down thirty 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.800 and this chick does one thing right the entire game, 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.120 and that was it. And then you go back and 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.320 really that's just where we are today. And it's not 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.160 just you know, the ladies in this case, the dudes 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.360 do it too. I mean jackass dudes do this all 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.920 the time. You do one thing right. Other I mean, 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.200 you really suck, but you do one thing right, and 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.320 then you got to talk junk about that one thing 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:16.920 right you did. I don't I don't know if there's 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:20.120 a license out there that's given or what. I think. 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.360 It's just kind of the jackassery of certain people. And 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:27.520 that's what you witnessed last night. But before you give 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:33.160 an incredible soft technical pass, you got to keep this 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:38.160 in mind. Why are we here, why are we discussing this? 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:44.440 You can be the highest level of competitor and not 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.080 put yourself in a situation where you're going to be 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:52.520 lost for a game. And you know, like Stephanie White 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:58.320 or you know, like Caitlin Clark. It's not easy for 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:03.080 me to laugh that stuff off because that could bite 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.879 you at some point. Hopefully it doesn't. If it doesn't, 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.080 that's great. I mean, if you're able to pick and 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.080 choose when you're going to get a t from some 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:16.000 of these clowns, that's fantastic. But you put yourself in 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:22.439 this situation nobody else has. Now you're head coach, you 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:26.480 know what the officiating is. It's crap water, it's not 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:31.080 going to all of a sudden get better. It's going 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:35.320 to continue to be bad. Last night you're up thirty 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.920 and last night it was one of those situations where 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:43.760 I wish you would just let the other chick yip 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:47.640 yap about it. And I know all you do, hopefully 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.520 is rescinded. And I haven't heard today whether or not 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.240 the technical has been rescinded. But if we get some news, 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.560 I'm sure we will tell you. This should not be 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:02.560 the massive news that it is. And for anybody that's 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:06.880 ever thought, man, I wish Luka Doncik was on our team. 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.560 I would love to have him on my team. But 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:14.080 you know, this jackassery really does wear you out. This 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.600 is going to wear you out too. And again, all 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.600 is fine until you miss a game. You miss a 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:23.119 game for your organization, you miss a game for your teammates, 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.800 you miss a game exceptionally for the fan base that 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:30.240 is counting on watching you play and spending a lot 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.720 of money coming out watching you play. That's not so 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.320 easy to laugh off. That's not so easy to make 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.439 light of it. I realize you're in a position right 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:40.919 now where you kind of have to I mean, what 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.080 choice do you have If you're Stephanie White, you have 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.600 to joke about it. If you're Kaitlin Clark, you have 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.439 to joke about it. There is zero reason to be 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:53.560 in this situation. None. And here's why I want you 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.000 to understand the most about all this. This is not 0:18:56.040 --> 0:19:01.240 getting on Kaitlyn Clark. This is simply about understanding one thing. 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:08.040 You are way too important with winning and losing in mind, 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.879 for your team to be lost, for any game to 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.840 be out, for any moment. You are way too important. 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:20.280 If this was just some other back marker, some scrub, 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:24.919 nobody would care. Nobody cares if you or I are 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.120 out there running around like jackasses. Nobody cares if we're 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:33.840 going to miss a game, But it matters when she does. 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:37.679 And you can't have it both ways. Look at it 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:41.280 this way too. If it were a situation where this 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.760 were and frankly is never going to be, and that's great. 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:48.280 If this were Tyres Halliburton, if this were a pacer player, 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.359 you'd be all over their ass right now. If this 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.520 were Daniel Jones or a colts player, you'd be all 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:58.400 over their ass right now. I understand you can be competitive, 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:02.520 and don't take it me that competitive nature away, But 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:07.200 you can also be a competitive leader and understand your 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.840 situation and when you're as deeply into it as she 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:15.840 is right now, getting a technical you know, dumbass technical, 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.120 soft technical, or not getting that when you're up thirty 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.640 against the scrub that was talking some junk that had 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:27.000 no other opportunity to do it during the game. Just 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:27.600 don't do it. 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:29.280 Don't do it. 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.159 And I want to hear that. Well, it's easy for 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:34.480 you to say no, it should be just easy. That's 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:38.760 what you are as a really smart, elite level talented 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:43.240 player and a team leader. That's who you are. That's 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:47.639 how we view you, that's how we describe you. You 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:51.879 can't get that, and you cannot compromise your playing time 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:58.560 for some scrub that doesn't matter. God, it doesn't matter. 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.520 And you know what, she was right and was it soft? Yes, 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:07.040 but you have to understand the officials that you're dealing with. 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:13.320 They're awful. So it's not light you're going to get 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.880 this great judgment. And I will also tell you this. 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:20.879 You go back to that Friday game against Seattle, and 0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:23.639 any other player in the history of the world gets 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:27.720 tossed for that diatribe. So she was able to side 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:31.760 step that. Just don't compromise your place on this team 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:36.520 and your participation on this team jacking around with this, right, 0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:39.680 it should be that easy. I don't think that should 0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:46.879 take away any of your competitive ability anything about you. 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:50.040 You can't you can't let scrubs like that get into you, 0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:55.200 all right, you just can't have it. Hopefully that's rescinded. 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:57.280 But James, I have not heard has that team been 0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.679 rescinded at all? Have you heard? I've been here at 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:02.040 speed Way to City Garage, but I have not heard. 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:04.200 I am not saying anything about it being rescinded. 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:07.600 Yet it needs to be because it was so often. 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:12.040 It was stupid. And here these clowns have to realize this. 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:12.960 It was a. 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:17.160 Scrub getting into a player that was shooting the lights out, 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:20.320 playing really well, and that player's team was up thirty, 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:23.200 and you would think, hey, we understand the situation. But again, 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:26.840 these WNBA officials are clowns and they don't understand any situation. 0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:29.760 It's looked like, hey, you know what, well, wait a minute. 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:31.400 I was working at Kroger and then all of a sudden, 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:33.360 we're gonna put you. Here's your whistle, go out here 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:39.359 and officiate this game. They're that bad, but you have 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:41.880 to deal with it. What's up. You have to deal 0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:47.440 with it being that bad. There's no other way, no 0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:52.040 other way at all. And to be a leader, to 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:55.000 be the most important player on that team, which clearly 0:22:55.119 --> 0:23:00.359 that is the case, just don't compromise your participation. Really 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:03.119 old that anybody should ask. All right, Wetzel's going to 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:06.360 join me on there on the side from ESPN Phalan's 0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:09.000 the on site engineer, Jeff Matthews is gonna mosey over 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.920 on a second. We're going to relive old school stories 0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:14.960 from Terrell Hold and talk about the place right here, 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:18.600 Speedway City Garage is outstanding.

It's almost bad like Mark Barnheiser beer right 0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:54.159 here and you're going way back.

He knows I love him, but he forgot 0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:58.720 about me. A couple of days ago from ESPN, the 0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:02.120 senior writer Dan Webb, so it joins us. My pal 0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:03.199 did you forget about me? 0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:06.280 You don't you know, you don't call en up anymore? 0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:08.360 Don't spend flowers? 0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:09.120 You know, right? 0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:11.240 Like you know? No, it was bad. 0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:11.760 It was bad. 0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:13.880 I am sorry, my man year old. 0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:16.800 You, and more importantly to your listeners. 0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:19.159 Oh it is It is all good, pal. You know 0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:21.120 that you know how much I love you out there too. 0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:24.480 And hey, speaking of love, let's go to the opposite 0:28:24.520 --> 0:28:27.280 of love. Ride here hate. Would I you in the 0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:31.760 football program be the most hated in college football and 0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:33.920 the landscape right now? Is that what we're looking at? 0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:36.560 Are you? 0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:37.000 Yes? 0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:40.680 I don't know. I don't think they're hated. Why because 0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:42.000 they're they're they're the champs. 0:28:43.480 --> 0:28:46.400 Well, we'll look at the sec rallying in the troops, 0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:50.000 you know, Ohio State and Michigan. You're looking at this Infiltrator. 0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:53.160 You know, it used to be the doormat of college football, 0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.120 and now all of a sudden it's now the defending 0:28:55.240 --> 0:28:59.040 national champion. It seems like, hey, everything is all great 0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:02.680 until team like this Infiltrates gets in and wins the 0:29:02.760 --> 0:29:06.440 national title. Now everything has to change. Why so much hate? 0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:06.640 Dan? 0:29:07.760 --> 0:29:08.480 Uh? 0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:13.560 Well, jealousy, I would say, I don't know. 0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:14.280 I mean. 0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.800 The one thing that Indiana did was blow out the 0:29:20.440 --> 0:29:24.800 excuse for about fifty programs that's not more and why 0:29:25.640 --> 0:29:30.320 why you can't compete? And that to me is the 0:29:30.360 --> 0:29:34.160 most fascinating part of their their run, because I think 0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:36.800 you could reasonably sat around and said, hey, you know, 0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:41.480 how good can I don't know, you know, Missouri b 0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:45.880 how good can Michigan State really be? How good can Minnesota? Well, 0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:51.600 Indiana Uh was sixteen and up. So uh, that's how 0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:53.800 good you can be if you get the right guy 0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:57.600 and and you're you get the right alignment and you 0:29:57.640 --> 0:29:58.520 get everything going. 0:29:59.240 --> 0:29:59.480 Uh. 0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:02.840 There's but I'd say there's a lot of jealousy, there's 0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:08.440 a lot of concern. When you're on top, you're gonna 0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:12.160 take the shots. But I don't think you're anywhere near 0:30:12.240 --> 0:30:12.960 the most heated. 0:30:14.080 --> 0:30:17.160 So Dan Wetzel of ESPN ESPN dot COM's on the 0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:19.920 Andy Moore Automotive Group podline, how much longer do you 0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:22.320 think that the whole landscape of how you go about 0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:26.200 building a team and running you know, running a program 0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:29.520 within i L with a transfer portal? How much long 0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:31.440 exevity do you think this ultimately has? 0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:31.680 Dan? 0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:37.680 I would think it I think they'll they'll try to 0:30:37.680 --> 0:30:39.440 come up with some stuff, but there's only so much 0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:44.080 they can really limit it. At this point, the money 0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:47.200 is there. But even even if they got some kind 0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:52.880 of ability to limit transfers to a degree where you know, 0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:55.760 they talk about you only have five years to play 0:30:55.880 --> 0:30:59.880 or something and you have one one transfer without penalty, 0:31:01.680 --> 0:31:04.160 which I think is fine. You know, you can't transfer 0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:07.760 every year, but if you have one transfer without penalty, 0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:10.480 and then you're always allowed to transfer once you've graduated. 0:31:10.480 --> 0:31:13.720 To become a grad student, you basically got two and 0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:16.400 three and a half to four years three years. Sometimes 0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:19.600 these kids graduate pretty quick. So I think the roster 0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:22.640 movements kind of here to say, say it's about building 0:31:22.640 --> 0:31:25.480 a roster. I don't think they're going to be able 0:31:25.480 --> 0:31:28.000 to get you know, there's definitely people in the SEC 0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:31.240 to look back at the glory days of Yeah, Georgia 0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:34.560 and Alabama got all the recruits and that's why they 0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:38.200 always won. But I just don't see that getting bad. 0:31:38.400 --> 0:31:41.320 There's no way to put that toothpaste back in the tube. 0:31:41.640 --> 0:31:44.240 So WoT some limits, but I don't think it's going 0:31:44.320 --> 0:31:45.680 to totally affect in Indiana. 0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:49.560 Hey, Dan, is that why we see the SEC. There 0:31:49.560 --> 0:31:51.680 seems to be a little bit of freak out going 0:31:51.720 --> 0:31:54.280 on there with Greg Sankee and and really lot of 0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:56.880 the coaches and the teams, is that what they see 0:31:56.920 --> 0:32:00.400 do they see the longer term situation that they're going 0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:02.959 to have to deal with with this college football landscape 0:32:03.080 --> 0:32:05.000 that they never had to prior. 0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:10.960 Absolutely, and like some of these complaints, if there was 0:32:11.000 --> 0:32:13.800 one thing about SEC media days, what we kept hearing 0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:18.080 is the Committee has to respect our strength to schedule right, 0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:24.440 And I'm not unsympathetic to that argument. I think the 0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:28.240 depth of the SEC is better than anywhere else. I 0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:30.520 think it's better. You know, the eighth nine tenth best 0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:33.320 team is better than maybe the eight nine tenth of 0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:35.760 the Big ten, or they certainly care more. There's not 0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:39.680 many teams that are just sort of there kicking along 0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:45.440 your UCLA's or your Rutgers or whatever. But if you 0:32:45.480 --> 0:32:50.080 look at last year, the Committee absolutely gave the SEC 0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:54.120 the benefit of the doubt. They put Oklahoma in the 0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:57.160 playoffs that didn't really have a great win. Their best 0:32:57.160 --> 0:32:59.640 win was Michigan, but that wasn't a very good team 0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:03.720 and they got in without even debate. Alabama survived a 0:33:03.880 --> 0:33:06.080 terrible loss in the SEC championship game and. 0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:08.200 Got in Notre Dame. 0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:10.080 It wasn't a Big ten team, but it was Notre 0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:14.360 Dame that got left out. And what did Oklahoma and 0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:17.600 Alabama do the respected because of their schedule, Well, they 0:33:17.640 --> 0:33:20.719 must be pretty good. Alabama beat Oklahoma and then they 0:33:20.760 --> 0:33:22.520 got beat thirty eight to three or so it was 0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:24.440 at least thirty eight to three in the enda. They 0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:28.160 got run off the field at the road balls, So like, 0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:31.560 what are you complaining about? Like, you got your chance 0:33:31.600 --> 0:33:35.360 and your teams didn't didn't show anything. They haven't had 0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:37.600 an SEC hasn't had a team in the title game 0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:42.800 in three years, let alone win it. They're losing significantly, 0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:47.240 you know, they're they're they're grasping as things to complain about. 0:33:48.200 --> 0:33:51.840 But getting more SEC teams into the playoffs has what's 0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:54.880 that going to show? You know, we're not seeing these 0:33:55.000 --> 0:33:59.640 SEC teams make you know, huge runs. I guess Ole 0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:01.720 missed last year. That was pretty good. They made the 0:34:01.720 --> 0:34:05.719 final four, but you know we are It's not like 0:34:05.760 --> 0:34:08.600 you're you're you're watching these fourth or fifth place teams 0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:10.239 and all of a sudden, the Final four at three 0:34:10.320 --> 0:34:14.239 STV team So I think they're they're scrambling looking for 0:34:14.320 --> 0:34:17.960 something because they spent so many years dominant and then 0:34:18.000 --> 0:34:21.080 crowing about that dominance as is understandable, and they don't 0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:21.839 have that right now. 0:34:22.680 --> 0:34:26.520 So Dan Wetzel VESPN ESPN dot Com, Dan, friend of 0:34:26.560 --> 0:34:28.960 the Shows on the Andy Moore Onto Motive Group, Potline, 0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:32.120 Speedway City Garage, our location. Jeff's going to rejoin the 0:34:32.160 --> 0:34:34.120 second Doug Bowles Top of the Hour is going to 0:34:34.120 --> 0:34:38.640 be here live. Your staked out home base is Michigan. 0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:42.040 Dusty May is a long time high school friend of mine. 0:34:42.920 --> 0:34:45.680 He bails after a national title, goes to Dallas. And 0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:47.840 I do know this, Dan, I know that that was 0:34:47.880 --> 0:34:50.800 always a goal of his, like any other coach, to 0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:53.680 coach at the highest level, and he was offered and 0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:56.919 he took. But what is left behind? What is going 0:34:56.960 --> 0:35:00.200 on right now in an arbor? And was there a 0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:03.399 lot in your opinion of what you hear and what 0:35:03.440 --> 0:35:08.120 you know going up there that helped maybe him consider 0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:11.799 even more so that the NBA should be his next 0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:13.680 stop and be his next stop this year. 0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:17.960 You know, I kind of feel like Dusty was above 0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:22.439 the above the Fray as much as their Michigan keeps 0:35:22.480 --> 0:35:24.959 finding ways to put themselves in the headlines here. 0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:26.719 You know, the. 0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:34.200 Harbaugh error was over. Sharon Morse. Scandals were really personal 0:35:35.560 --> 0:35:37.960 at this point. I mean, he got cheating on his 0:35:38.000 --> 0:35:41.280 wife with a staff member. That's not that's not really 0:35:41.320 --> 0:35:44.880 a NCA violation. He had a lot of problems, but 0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:49.520 Dusty had his own program running and they had plenty 0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:53.160 of backing and all that, and obviously he knew he 0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:55.919 would keep aable winning national teams there. I just think, 0:35:56.480 --> 0:35:59.040 like you said, anybody knows Dusty for a long time. 0:35:59.120 --> 0:36:04.440 The NBA's long intrigued him, and you know, I think 0:36:04.440 --> 0:36:06.600 he's gonna do pretty well. We'll see. But even if 0:36:06.600 --> 0:36:08.880 he does it, the thing about going to the NBA, 0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:12.360 it's not a career killer. Michigan is a very good 0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:15.160 place to coach basketball, but it's not like it's the 0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:18.239 only place, and there are probably places even better. So 0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:21.480 if Dusty may a couple of years it doesn't work 0:36:21.480 --> 0:36:25.080 out in Dallas, he can have the number one job 0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:28.279 whatever's open that year. All these schools will beg to 0:36:28.320 --> 0:36:32.520 get him, whether it's you know, Kansas or North Carolina 0:36:32.640 --> 0:36:35.319 or even not you or whatever whatever's open that year. 0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:39.719 He'll go get it, So I think it. I don't 0:36:39.760 --> 0:36:42.040 think one had so much to do with the other. 0:36:42.360 --> 0:36:45.120 If he had stayed he was, he was in great shape. 0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:50.080 Blinton. He always told me how important he was as 0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:53.960 a part of his staff and his program. And obviously 0:36:54.000 --> 0:36:57.560 now he gets annoyed. They're in an arbor to lead 0:36:57.640 --> 0:37:02.400 that that program and that team is ending champion. He 0:37:02.480 --> 0:37:04.480 look back at his time at Oklahoma State and there 0:37:04.520 --> 0:37:06.520 was nothing really great about that. But I just know 0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:09.680 what Dusty tells me, and he was a huge part 0:37:10.160 --> 0:37:14.080 of the success of that program while he was in 0:37:14.280 --> 0:37:15.880 n R. But what do you think about the guidance 0:37:15.880 --> 0:37:16.840 there moving forward? 0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:19.960 Yeah, I think it was a good movie, kept them, 0:37:20.120 --> 0:37:23.120 kept the roster together for next year, and we'll see. 0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:27.560 Think about Mike Boyton, he is his tenure in Oklahoma 0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:30.920 State does not stand out. However, two of the years 0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:33.320 they were like banned from the nca Basketball to ornament. 0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:36.000 He's dealing with a lot of sanctions. That program has 0:37:36.719 --> 0:37:42.560 lost a lot of juice. I think the rise of 0:37:42.560 --> 0:37:46.239 the Oklahoma City Thunder has played a role in sort 0:37:46.239 --> 0:37:49.799 of the de emphasis of I wasn't a de emphasis, 0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:52.520 but the last there's just not the passion around Oklahoma 0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:56.520 State and Okahoma basketball that there once was when those 0:37:56.560 --> 0:38:00.080 were the those were the teams. That's that's where basketball 0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:03.080 fans had to turn. And now, okay, see is so good. 0:38:04.040 --> 0:38:06.560 He did coach Kate Cunningham, who happens to be the 0:38:06.560 --> 0:38:08.880 biggest star in the biggest city of the state of Michigan. 0:38:08.960 --> 0:38:12.799 So you know, he's an experienced guy, but he's young, 0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:15.319 so we'll see he's gonna have a great chance to 0:38:15.360 --> 0:38:18.920 win the job. It's a two year contract, which is 0:38:18.960 --> 0:38:23.800 basically a one year contract, but you don't have to 0:38:23.800 --> 0:38:26.640 get asked, you know, in the middle of November if 0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:28.879 you win or lose a game, are you coming back 0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:30.520 or not. It's a pretty smart contract. 0:38:30.640 --> 0:38:32.560 So we'll see. 0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:35.720 He's got a great chance because they he kept almost 0:38:35.800 --> 0:38:37.920 all of the roster together and it should be a 0:38:37.960 --> 0:38:38.720 pretty good roster. 0:38:40.120 --> 0:38:42.719 I get down here really soon, all right, man, it's 0:38:42.719 --> 0:38:44.359 always great to have you on. We're going to stay 0:38:44.400 --> 0:38:46.560 in touch as we get closer to the end of summer, 0:38:46.680 --> 0:38:48.759 end of the fall.

It was like 0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:36.840 something I don't think anybody's ever done. I got a 0:44:36.920 --> 0:44:40.560 six minute lapper during a break in the four o'clock 0:44:40.640 --> 0:44:43.439 Holiber Show.

What am I 0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:13.960 drinking again? 0:46:14.360 --> 0:46:14.400 That? 0:46:16.560 --> 0:46:16.960 I love? 0:46:17.000 --> 0:46:17.080 That? 0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:21.600 Man? Chairs to you. Good to see you, guys. It 0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:24.400 is failing. The on site engineer Peyton for the first 0:46:24.440 --> 0:46:27.440 time with me, is like a nervous wreck over here. Okay, 0:46:27.520 --> 0:46:29.719 did you chill out a little bit? He's hopped up 0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:33.040 at you. We got to get Peyton chilled out. Payton's 0:46:33.120 --> 0:46:36.920 like a raw nerve. Right here. There's Speedway President Doug 0:46:37.000 --> 0:46:43.200 Bowles walking over here. I Doug Bowles towards us. Everybody 0:46:43.239 --> 0:46:45.480 loves him right here. So what do you think of 0:46:45.480 --> 0:46:48.040 this place? This is pretty awesome. It's pretty cool. You 0:46:48.160 --> 0:46:49.799 come here twice a day, That's what I hear. 0:46:50.280 --> 0:46:52.279 Certainly first thing in the morning, right, and I gotta 0:46:52.280 --> 0:46:54.080 get my coffee, and it's you know, you can keep 0:46:54.080 --> 0:46:56.120 an eye on the place because it's right across the streets. 0:46:56.760 --> 0:46:59.279 Did you walk over here? I did. I walked over 0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:00.520 there and got this. I saw you. 0:47:00.600 --> 0:47:02.880 I was going west earlier today and I saw you 0:47:02.880 --> 0:47:03.640 walking across the stoep. 0:47:03.680 --> 0:47:05.919 I was walking across the street, yep. And I let 0:47:05.960 --> 0:47:07.719 cars just go ahead and go yep. 0:47:07.880 --> 0:47:09.399 You know what I mean, better than getting hit. 0:47:09.520 --> 0:47:12.040 Yeah, I don't want to get hit. I will say this, 0:47:12.360 --> 0:47:15.520 what they have done with its entire area at Speedway 0:47:15.560 --> 0:47:18.440 City Garage is incredible, especially for those of us that 0:47:18.560 --> 0:47:20.600 know what it looked like guys back in the eighties, 0:47:20.600 --> 0:47:21.440 for example. Yep. 0:47:21.600 --> 0:47:23.920 No, this is a huge transition. I started working here 0:47:23.920 --> 0:47:26.920 in twenty ten, and you had Dawson's and you had 0:47:27.000 --> 0:47:29.800 Charlie Brown's and that was really it. And just to 0:47:29.840 --> 0:47:31.600 see what the town of Speedway's really done with main 0:47:31.640 --> 0:47:35.120 street's fantastic. And you know, Jeff had Founders Grounds Coffee 0:47:35.239 --> 0:47:37.680 where I spent most of my mornings before he came here, 0:47:37.719 --> 0:47:39.520 and when he said I've got this idea, I think 0:47:39.560 --> 0:47:40.960 a lot of us are like, I don't do that. 0:47:41.000 --> 0:47:43.400 This is perfect because the way his coffee shop was 0:47:43.440 --> 0:47:47.640 before and this is the vision of this is pretty impressive. 0:47:47.680 --> 0:47:49.719 And we in the idea you get a beer at 0:47:49.840 --> 0:47:50.560 what's seven in the. 0:47:50.480 --> 0:47:52.080 Morning, seven thirty seven thirty. 0:47:53.120 --> 0:47:55.600 It was like right up my alley, right there, I know. 0:47:55.960 --> 0:47:59.400 So now would you come up, Jeff with this idea 0:48:00.160 --> 0:48:03.880 or the beer, the cocktails, the coffee, the food and 0:48:04.080 --> 0:48:06.400 all of it strutting early? 0:48:06.520 --> 0:48:08.640 Yeah. I mean it's one of those deals where it's 0:48:08.680 --> 0:48:10.839 not it's not a new concept, it's just one that 0:48:10.920 --> 0:48:13.600 needed to be refined a little bit. So there's other 0:48:13.640 --> 0:48:17.200 places that do coffee and cocktails and beer, but not 0:48:17.320 --> 0:48:19.880 all day long. You know, they'll stop the service of 0:48:19.960 --> 0:48:22.400 coffee at a certain point of the day. But we 0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:26.000 also know that people like their lattes later on the afternoon. 0:48:26.080 --> 0:48:29.680 So it made sense for us to to do this concept. 0:48:29.760 --> 0:48:31.279 And I think it's gonna work out. 0:48:32.080 --> 0:48:35.319 Yeah, maybe it's been pretty good. So Beth, that's here, 0:48:35.360 --> 0:48:37.439 Connor's mom my wife. So she just said, I bet 0:48:37.560 --> 0:48:39.719 allowed everybody. So she's drinking the coffee today. 0:48:39.800 --> 0:48:42.640 I go so it's kind of running coming up here. 0:48:42.640 --> 0:48:46.319 He's running trucks tomorrow Park, and you know, I connor a. 0:48:46.320 --> 0:48:48.600 Little bit of love for that too, because I love 0:48:48.640 --> 0:48:49.880 the Truck Series race, you know what. 0:48:49.920 --> 0:48:52.200 And he's and he will he will drive anything. He's 0:48:52.239 --> 0:48:54.920 a racers racer, which is really cool. And the one 0:48:54.960 --> 0:48:56.960 thing I love about this week. And we have the 0:48:56.960 --> 0:48:59.800 sprint car race tonight at the Speedway Tomorrow night, you 0:49:00.080 --> 0:49:02.000 have the trucks at Raceway Park. You had practice for 0:49:02.040 --> 0:49:04.040 both Cup and O'Reilly tomorrow, and then you've got to 0:49:04.080 --> 0:49:06.160 know Riley Race on Saturday, and then on Sunday you've 0:49:06.200 --> 0:49:08.160 got the Cup race. So if you're a race fan, 0:49:08.320 --> 0:49:10.000 just the opportunity to see all the different kind of 0:49:10.080 --> 0:49:12.880 racing in just such a small area and short amount 0:49:12.880 --> 0:49:14.319 of time, it's pretty cool for this. 0:49:14.480 --> 0:49:17.520 Does he feel comfortable and doing the trucks at O'Riley. 0:49:17.440 --> 0:49:18.960 Yeah, he did it. He did it a couple of 0:49:19.040 --> 0:49:22.440 years ago and they actually they rolled him out for 0:49:22.480 --> 0:49:24.720 practice and the car, the truck broke so he couldn't qualify, 0:49:24.760 --> 0:49:26.239 so he started last. So we got some time just 0:49:26.320 --> 0:49:28.480 running around at the back and so I think I 0:49:28.520 --> 0:49:30.320 think it'll be good he's looking forward to it a 0:49:30.560 --> 0:49:32.759 funny he's doing some RAM deal. So Ram Trucks has 0:49:33.239 --> 0:49:37.040 been putting celebrities or non NASCAR drivers in the cars 0:49:37.080 --> 0:49:39.160 all year long, and like Tony Stewart was in it 0:49:39.239 --> 0:49:42.360 during the Daytona five hundred weekend, so it's it'll be 0:49:42.400 --> 0:49:42.879 fun for him. 0:49:42.880 --> 0:49:44.640 I think, what's this weekend mean for you? 0:49:45.400 --> 0:49:48.800 It's hard to believe that we're like our thirty third brickyard, 0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:52.640 right It's it still feels like it's so new, but 0:49:52.680 --> 0:49:54.760 it's become one of the traditions here. It's really important 0:49:54.800 --> 0:49:57.560 for us. I think from a just putting continuing to 0:49:57.560 --> 0:50:00.480 put the Indianapolimotor Speedway on on the I ast told 0:50:00.480 --> 0:50:03.560 it belongs on, and this is a great weekend. You know, 0:50:03.600 --> 0:50:06.920 we continue to see that the ticket sales slowly creeping 0:50:07.000 --> 0:50:09.279 up as it relates to a brickyard. You know, look, 0:50:09.320 --> 0:50:10.520 it's never going to be the DY five hundred. We 0:50:10.560 --> 0:50:12.479 have three hundred and fifty thousand people here in May 0:50:12.840 --> 0:50:15.160 and you'll have sixty five or seventy thousand people here 0:50:15.200 --> 0:50:17.879 on Sunday, and you know that's twenty percent of the venue. 0:50:17.920 --> 0:50:20.480 So it's pretty crazy how it looks but it's a 0:50:20.520 --> 0:50:22.760 great event, and I love working with our friends in NASCAR. 0:50:22.800 --> 0:50:25.520 We got to race with them at Phoenix last year. 0:50:25.520 --> 0:50:27.480 We'll probably race with them at Phoenix again next year. 0:50:27.520 --> 0:50:29.120 So they've been pretty good partners for us, not just 0:50:29.160 --> 0:50:30.160 here but across the board. 0:50:30.360 --> 0:50:33.240 I love the fact too. You think about the growth 0:50:33.320 --> 0:50:36.479 of the five hundred too, and you know, selling out 0:50:36.520 --> 0:50:39.000 as much, and it seems like that we have never 0:50:39.160 --> 0:50:42.719 seen the enthusiasm for that race more than we see 0:50:42.719 --> 0:50:43.560 it right now. 0:50:43.600 --> 0:50:46.279 You know, people always say, well, why is it selling out. 0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:48.440 It's selling out because our fans. It has nothing to 0:50:48.440 --> 0:50:50.560 do with really us. Our fans have just embraced the 0:50:50.560 --> 0:50:52.760 Indy five hundred again, and there are people that continue 0:50:52.800 --> 0:50:54.359 to come back and not just come back, but they 0:50:54.360 --> 0:50:57.399 bring people with them. And you know that it has 0:50:57.440 --> 0:50:59.759 nothing to do with anything other than it starts right 0:50:59.800 --> 0:51:02.120 here in this community. If you in April, in this 0:51:02.160 --> 0:51:05.360 community when it comes alive and the people decorate their porches, 0:51:05.360 --> 0:51:07.080 and then it goes out from the speedway into the 0:51:07.080 --> 0:51:10.080 city of Indianapolis and central Indiana, and we just take 0:51:10.120 --> 0:51:12.400 an awful lot of pride as a community in events, 0:51:12.400 --> 0:51:14.319 but certainly the Indy five hundred and that's really the 0:51:14.360 --> 0:51:16.400 secret sauce that makes it so special, the people that 0:51:16.600 --> 0:51:17.319 show up every year. 0:51:17.360 --> 0:51:19.120 I got an email a little bit earlier that said, 0:51:19.120 --> 0:51:22.400 plan ahead for this weekend. What does that mean? Plane ahead? 0:51:22.440 --> 0:51:24.719 Plan ahead? I never plan ahead, so I want to 0:51:24.760 --> 0:51:25.239 have to try. 0:51:25.280 --> 0:51:27.560 So I don't How did you get here from downtown? 0:51:28.640 --> 0:51:31.960 The sixteenth Street bridge, right, So that's one of the big. 0:51:31.800 --> 0:51:34.200 Things that people don't know. It came from Bargersville. 0:51:34.200 --> 0:51:36.799 So yeah, but a lot of people that are coming 0:51:36.800 --> 0:51:38.799 from downtown or do it the way they've always done. 0:51:38.840 --> 0:51:41.520 Sixteenth Street bridge closed. It's a pain on a regular day, 0:51:41.560 --> 0:51:43.359 let alone a day where we've got events going on. 0:51:43.760 --> 0:51:45.319 So just trying to make sure people know how they're 0:51:45.320 --> 0:51:47.200 getting here, where they're going to park, when things are 0:51:47.239 --> 0:51:49.560 going to happen, just makes it a lot easier. Oftentimes 0:51:49.560 --> 0:51:51.640 you put something in on your on your mobile device 0:51:51.680 --> 0:51:53.200 and it takes you to the wrong place. So just 0:51:53.239 --> 0:51:55.920 making sure people are making making their plans before they 0:51:55.960 --> 0:51:56.359 come to sea. 0:51:56.480 --> 0:51:58.320 I saw that a little bit earlier too, So how's 0:51:58.400 --> 0:52:00.840 this going compared to maybe the last five years? 0:52:02.040 --> 0:52:05.839 So I would say ten years ago the Brickyard four 0:52:05.920 --> 0:52:08.480 hundred was on life support. It was really struggling. The 0:52:08.560 --> 0:52:10.719 racing product wasn't as good as we wanted it to be. 0:52:11.400 --> 0:52:13.960 It was hot in the summer. People were just sort 0:52:13.960 --> 0:52:16.600 of struggling with NASCAR in general. That was a problem. 0:52:16.600 --> 0:52:19.160 And then over the last few years we went to 0:52:19.160 --> 0:52:20.719 the road course, which gave us a little bit of 0:52:20.719 --> 0:52:22.440 bump the first year, and there I said, okay, that's 0:52:22.440 --> 0:52:24.200 a novelty and we did a couple more years. But 0:52:24.280 --> 0:52:26.600 just getting back to the oval has been good. The 0:52:26.680 --> 0:52:28.960 racing has been relatively decent. I think it continues to 0:52:28.960 --> 0:52:32.320 get better. So it's growing, and it's growing slowly, but 0:52:32.800 --> 0:52:33.800 it is going the right direction. 0:52:34.040 --> 0:52:36.480 Was it close to not being here any longer? 0:52:36.600 --> 0:52:36.640 No. 0:52:36.760 --> 0:52:38.520 I think for the drivers it's still one of their 0:52:38.560 --> 0:52:41.359 crown jewels, especially when it's on the oval. The road 0:52:41.360 --> 0:52:43.560 course they struggled with. You know, unless you were Michael 0:52:43.600 --> 0:52:46.600 McDowell right, you wanted it on the You wanted it 0:52:46.600 --> 0:52:48.880 to be on the oval. So I don't think it 0:52:48.920 --> 0:52:52.279 was ever close to being taken away from here because 0:52:52.280 --> 0:52:54.440 it is a crown jewel. But we definitely need to 0:52:54.480 --> 0:52:56.719 get it off life support, and I think we've done that. 0:52:56.719 --> 0:52:58.960 What are some of the things you've done to create 0:52:59.000 --> 0:52:59.920 more enthusiasm. 0:53:00.120 --> 0:53:03.000 A lot of what we've done is I think, you know, 0:53:03.080 --> 0:53:05.880 sometimes familiarity breeds contempt, right, and so the more we 0:53:05.880 --> 0:53:08.040 were familiar with the oval and the racing product, and 0:53:08.120 --> 0:53:09.799 more frustrated we got with it. So when we went 0:53:09.840 --> 0:53:12.000 back to the road course and that was okay for 0:53:12.080 --> 0:53:14.480 a year, and then people were like, hang on a minute, 0:53:14.640 --> 0:53:16.600 if you race at the Indian Apposmotor Speedway, you want 0:53:16.600 --> 0:53:18.759 to win on the oval. And so I think that 0:53:18.960 --> 0:53:21.400 created some energy. Kyle Larson certainly helped the fact that 0:53:21.480 --> 0:53:23.759 Kyle was running the five hundred for the two years 0:53:23.800 --> 0:53:26.120 he did and then doing the brickyard here that was helpful. 0:53:26.160 --> 0:53:29.640 I think NASCAR has picked up some more star names, 0:53:30.080 --> 0:53:32.239 which has helped it. And then one of the thing 0:53:32.280 --> 0:53:34.000 I love the most about is we continue to be 0:53:34.000 --> 0:53:36.560 fifteen and under free. With your flex ticket. You can 0:53:36.600 --> 0:53:38.440 actually get a grand stand ticket as an adult and 0:53:38.480 --> 0:53:40.600 bring fifteen and nunders for free, and you can choose 0:53:40.640 --> 0:53:42.960 those grandstands. There's several grand stands you can do with that. 0:53:43.320 --> 0:53:44.920 So just trying to get creative how we make the 0:53:44.920 --> 0:53:47.080 customer experience better and the value better. 0:53:47.239 --> 0:53:51.920 That is Speedway President Doug Bowles, the owner Speedway City Garage, 0:53:51.920 --> 0:53:54.120 and Jeff Matthews, you want a question for Doug? You 0:53:54.120 --> 0:53:55.399 got a question for Doug right here. 0:53:55.440 --> 0:53:57.279 You know, I talked to Doug almost every day. 0:53:57.320 --> 0:53:59.719 I'm sure you do. And Doug and I go back 0:54:00.160 --> 0:54:01.320 caffeinated up right. 0:54:01.400 --> 0:54:03.600 We get him all, well, you know, we've actually got 0:54:03.600 --> 0:54:06.200 a drink named after him. So he comes in and 0:54:06.239 --> 0:54:08.319 he orders a certain drink, and so we got to 0:54:08.360 --> 0:54:10.440 a point where like, well, we're just gonna name this 0:54:10.520 --> 0:54:13.319 drink after him. So we got the president and it's 0:54:13.440 --> 0:54:16.120 interesting and it's fun to watch and listen to the 0:54:16.160 --> 0:54:19.120 president order the president. Yeah, that's what he does. 0:54:19.239 --> 0:54:20.239 That's that's great. 0:54:20.480 --> 0:54:22.520 So yeah, Doug and I go back for a few 0:54:22.600 --> 0:54:24.600 years and back to diar l days when he was 0:54:24.640 --> 0:54:27.759 a panther and I was with a small team, and 0:54:27.760 --> 0:54:30.880 and it's just it's it's fun to sit here today 0:54:31.400 --> 0:54:31.960 and here we are. 0:54:32.080 --> 0:54:33.759 You know, do you have a lot of relationships like 0:54:33.800 --> 0:54:35.920 that when when you go back to your days before 0:54:35.920 --> 0:54:36.640 you were a president. 0:54:36.840 --> 0:54:38.920 I mean there's a lot. Yeah, I have a handful 0:54:38.920 --> 0:54:40.000 of relationships like that. 0:54:40.440 --> 0:54:42.800 Those seem like that they could be the strongest of bonds. 0:54:42.960 --> 0:54:44.759 Yeah, there are there are some of those that are 0:54:44.800 --> 0:54:47.080 really strong. And then and so we talk coffee. But 0:54:47.239 --> 0:54:50.239 we also like pinball machines. Yeah, yeah, so we get 0:54:50.239 --> 0:54:51.880 a chance we're talking about In fact, this morning we 0:54:51.880 --> 0:54:53.120 were talking about pinball machines. 0:54:53.239 --> 0:54:55.680 All right, so what are we talking about? What pinball machines? 0:54:55.760 --> 0:54:58.279 So we both have the same machine. It's called spin Out. 0:54:58.360 --> 0:55:03.200 It's a nineteen seventy five racing themed, pretty simple machine. 0:55:03.560 --> 0:55:05.200 It means more to Jeff than I love it for 0:55:05.239 --> 0:55:07.080 the racing, but he remembers it. He had it in 0:55:07.120 --> 0:55:09.280 his house as a kid, and so I got mine 0:55:09.280 --> 0:55:10.680 and when I when I end up with mine, he's like, 0:55:10.719 --> 0:55:12.759 I gotta find one, And so we talk about that, 0:55:12.880 --> 0:55:15.480 and then what other racing machines do we want to get? 0:55:15.520 --> 0:55:16.759 And it's just kind of fun. 0:55:16.960 --> 0:55:22.160 So I've always wanted the Gorgaar pinball machine because I 0:55:22.200 --> 0:55:25.560 believe that was the first one that had voice activation, 0:55:26.320 --> 0:55:34.600 like when you walk by it. Gorgaar Gary, I've always 0:55:34.680 --> 0:55:38.120 wanted and I never really understood what Gorgaar was, but 0:55:38.160 --> 0:55:40.480 it was just so awesome for the time. I've always 0:55:40.520 --> 0:55:44.960 looked for that. You guys aware as pinball officiare of Gorgar. 0:55:44.719 --> 0:55:46.880 And it's funny when you get it. Yes, yes, I am, 0:55:46.960 --> 0:55:49.520 for sure, But when you get into that the number. 0:55:49.719 --> 0:55:51.440 There's a lot of people that are in the pinball 0:55:51.480 --> 0:55:53.160 machines and when they hear you're into it, they start 0:55:53.200 --> 0:55:55.000 and people will call you and say, I've got this game. 0:55:55.040 --> 0:55:57.520 You want this game? And I'm pretty focused on racing 0:55:57.520 --> 0:55:59.400 related games with their people out there looking. 0:55:59.239 --> 0:56:02.359 For every how many of racing well, we were looking this. 0:56:02.280 --> 0:56:04.239 Morning and so so there's a there's a website called 0:56:04.239 --> 0:56:06.319 pin Side, and on pin Side you can have a 0:56:06.320 --> 0:56:07.960 wish list and I think I probably got what we 0:56:07.960 --> 0:56:10.960 would look like ten or eleven racing related games, so 0:56:11.239 --> 0:56:13.960 that we're there's an amazing Indy five hundred game that 0:56:14.000 --> 0:56:16.600 fortunately Beth allowed me to pick up a couple. 0:56:16.480 --> 0:56:17.200 Of years ago ago. 0:56:17.440 --> 0:56:20.960 That's h and that was done in nineteen ninety five 0:56:21.000 --> 0:56:23.160 ninety six. So it's got Bobby Unser's voice, and it's 0:56:23.160 --> 0:56:25.280 got Paul Page's voice, and you can hear Tom Carnegie 0:56:25.320 --> 0:56:27.440 and it it's a really it's a really cool INDI 0:56:27.480 --> 0:56:29.239 five hundred game. But there's a bunch most of the 0:56:29.360 --> 0:56:31.680 racing games were done in the nineties. 0:56:31.760 --> 0:56:34.439 We'll be right so I just think about those games. 0:56:34.560 --> 0:56:37.640 I think about like Playboy with Hugh Hefner and then 0:56:37.760 --> 0:56:41.840 Kiss as well. Those were some of the the phenomenal pinball. 0:56:41.880 --> 0:56:44.560 But I mean, and Doug's got a great one that 0:56:44.600 --> 0:56:48.520 I wish I had, the Evil caniebl Oh, it's pretty cool. 0:56:48.680 --> 0:56:49.719 Yeah, how many do you have? 0:56:49.920 --> 0:56:52.400 Just three? I just have, but my wish list is 0:56:52.400 --> 0:56:54.759 a bunch more than that. So I keep telling Beth, 0:56:54.840 --> 0:56:56.440 we need to make more room in the basement so 0:56:56.520 --> 0:56:57.399 that can So. 0:56:57.360 --> 0:56:58.800 You know, it's funny people, But what's the third do 0:56:58.840 --> 0:56:59.000 you have? 0:56:59.040 --> 0:56:59.319 The rate? 0:57:00.080 --> 0:57:01.640 So I've got the ny five hundred games, spin Out 0:57:01.680 --> 0:57:03.960 and an Evil Canievl or the three games that that 0:57:04.080 --> 0:57:04.480 I've got. 0:57:04.520 --> 0:57:07.640 Okay, man, that's great. I love pinball, Gass. 0:57:07.640 --> 0:57:08.520 It is really fun. 0:57:08.640 --> 0:57:10.480 It is really fun. Do you think that that a 0:57:10.480 --> 0:57:12.760 lot of the video games, the old school video games, 0:57:12.760 --> 0:57:14.960 have stood the test of time. Has pinball done the 0:57:14.960 --> 0:57:15.359 same thing? 0:57:15.880 --> 0:57:18.200 Pinball's kind of come back now. You're see an awful 0:57:18.200 --> 0:57:19.919 lot of people with pinball, and then you also see 0:57:20.040 --> 0:57:22.840 like the old pac Man's and the old pack you know, Misspacked. 0:57:23.040 --> 0:57:25.960 Those games also are kind of big right now. So 0:57:26.080 --> 0:57:27.680 there are a lot of people that collect. 0:57:27.360 --> 0:57:29.640 Them and you have an arcade in your basement. 0:57:29.840 --> 0:57:31.680 We've got three mission not an arcade, but we have 0:57:31.720 --> 0:57:32.880 three machines in the basic. 0:57:32.840 --> 0:57:35.440 I guess the video games and there too, Gallaga maybe 0:57:35.520 --> 0:57:37.160 the Little Donkey Kong or something like. 0:57:37.160 --> 0:57:37.720 That could be. 0:57:39.160 --> 0:57:43.200 I'm looking looking okay, and the reason the reason why 0:57:43.200 --> 0:57:45.640 I want to bring I know, I think she's okay 0:57:45.680 --> 0:57:47.040 with it. We could put a little peer. 0:57:46.840 --> 0:57:48.880 Pressure on right here that we want, Yeah, we could. 0:57:50.520 --> 0:57:53.600 So what is are you involved at all with the 0:57:53.600 --> 0:57:55.000 the Indy Car video? 0:57:55.280 --> 0:57:56.439 For sure? One hundred percent? 0:57:56.560 --> 0:57:58.000 Where are we going with that right now? 0:57:58.040 --> 0:58:00.480 Well, so we've had the I Racing has been fantastic, 0:58:00.600 --> 0:58:03.320 So the simulator side of racing has been really really 0:58:03.320 --> 0:58:05.760 good over the last decade or so. But we haven't 0:58:05.760 --> 0:58:08.200 had a console game in twenty years, and so that's 0:58:08.320 --> 0:58:10.720 we have been really working hard to get a console game. 0:58:10.760 --> 0:58:13.480 And when I Racing decided to get into console games, 0:58:13.480 --> 0:58:15.479 they actually did the NASCAR game that's out right now. 0:58:16.080 --> 0:58:17.560 They say, hey, let's go figure out how to do 0:58:17.640 --> 0:58:19.200 an IndyCar game. So we've seen a lot of the 0:58:19.240 --> 0:58:21.080 renders and some of the some of the initial play 0:58:21.120 --> 0:58:23.480 the game. It'll it'll come out the first quarter of 0:58:23.560 --> 0:58:26.040 next year. Really excited about that and that that opens 0:58:26.120 --> 0:58:28.800 us up to a completely new audience because there are 0:58:28.960 --> 0:58:32.160 sim gamers and then there are console gamers. So the 0:58:32.160 --> 0:58:35.000 folks that really play the you know, the play PlayStations 0:58:35.040 --> 0:58:37.360 and the xboxes, that this will be that for them, 0:58:37.360 --> 0:58:38.840 and it's going to be great for our sport. And 0:58:38.840 --> 0:58:41.360 you get to play the drivers you like, the cars 0:58:41.360 --> 0:58:42.520 you like. It's going to be a lot of fun. 0:58:42.560 --> 0:58:43.280 Who's on the cover? 0:58:43.720 --> 0:58:45.280 We don't have a cover yet. We're working on that, 0:58:45.640 --> 0:58:46.760 so we got a little bit of time. We got 0:58:46.760 --> 0:58:48.240 a little bit of time to get there. Yeah, so 0:58:48.360 --> 0:58:48.880 what are the. 0:58:48.880 --> 0:58:50.240 Options of the cover right now? 0:58:50.720 --> 0:58:52.440 You know, it's a great question. I don't know exactly 0:58:52.440 --> 0:58:54.240 what we'll so I think it's going to be called 0:58:54.320 --> 0:58:57.200 IndyCar the game. So well, Alex Plow would be the 0:58:57.240 --> 0:58:58.200 guy that you pick right now? 0:58:58.280 --> 0:59:01.240 Yeah? Well, I mean, well, they like fight over who 0:59:01.280 --> 0:59:02.280 wants to be on the cover. 0:59:02.560 --> 0:59:04.120 No, I think we'll look at what makes the most 0:59:04.120 --> 0:59:05.840 sense for the sport. My guess is it would be 0:59:05.920 --> 0:59:08.120 the car and some and multiple drivers at that point. 0:59:08.320 --> 0:59:11.880 It's funny. My kid, who Blake, is a big race fan, 0:59:12.080 --> 0:59:15.600 text me the other day, so he's watching the Sopranos series. 0:59:16.120 --> 0:59:19.680 He goes man Aj is playing some cart the kart 0:59:20.160 --> 0:59:23.200 racing game from I think ninety nine or two thousand, 0:59:23.400 --> 0:59:25.440 I don't know which one that was, but he was 0:59:25.480 --> 0:59:29.360 actually playing it on an episode of the Sopranos. That's 0:59:29.560 --> 0:59:32.480 the type of product placement you guys need right there. 0:59:33.520 --> 0:59:36.600 And so so we're excited about the opportunities that'll that'll 0:59:36.680 --> 0:59:38.160 present for us, and I think it's gonna be a 0:59:38.200 --> 0:59:38.560 good game. 0:59:38.600 --> 0:59:39.920 And it's long, long. 0:59:39.840 --> 0:59:40.480 Long, over time. 0:59:40.520 --> 0:59:41.960 Why why has it been so long? 0:59:42.760 --> 0:59:44.480 Well, I think a lot of it is we hadn't 0:59:44.480 --> 0:59:46.560 focused on it so for a period of time. When 0:59:46.600 --> 0:59:48.640 there was the split, that was a challenge. And then 0:59:48.680 --> 0:59:51.400 when you unification happened, people were just worried about getting 0:59:51.400 --> 0:59:54.640 this moving the sport forward. And I just don't know 0:59:54.680 --> 0:59:57.040 that the audience was big enough, you know, there wasn't 0:59:57.120 --> 0:59:59.520 enough momentum for somebody to take the risk of creating 0:59:59.520 --> 1:00:03.400 a game like that. And then Motorsports Games was going 1:00:03.440 --> 1:00:05.120 to do a game for us, and that that whole 1:00:05.120 --> 1:00:07.600 company went under, and really what I Racing did was 1:00:07.640 --> 1:00:10.040 stepped in and said, look, this is there's too much 1:00:10.080 --> 1:00:12.000 value in this let's figure out how we make it 1:00:12.040 --> 1:00:14.320 work from here. So a lot of it was just 1:00:14.680 --> 1:00:17.480 the timing wasn't right for IndyCar, and then the Motorsports 1:00:17.480 --> 1:00:19.360 game things fell apart, and now we're at the point 1:00:19.400 --> 1:00:21.560 where I think I racing trying to step into the 1:00:21.560 --> 1:00:23.120 console game that makes sense for that. 1:00:23.360 --> 1:00:26.320 Was it disappointing with the way things went down with 1:00:26.320 --> 1:00:30.200 the weather following the World Cup match last week in Nashville. 1:00:30.120 --> 1:00:33.960 Yeah, it was really disappointing. You know, the worst part 1:00:34.000 --> 1:00:39.440 about outside races, especially ovals's weather. First of all, everybody's in. 1:00:39.760 --> 1:00:41.600 Everybody's a weather man, right because we all have it 1:00:41.640 --> 1:00:44.000 on our apps. Even the five hundred this year, I 1:00:44.000 --> 1:00:46.000 had people saying, Hey, you need to cancel the five hundred, 1:00:46.000 --> 1:00:47.680 move it to Monday. You're crazy for stay And the 1:00:47.680 --> 1:00:49.600 one thing that I've learned is you cannot make a 1:00:49.640 --> 1:00:52.280 decision on weather until you're within a few hours of 1:00:52.320 --> 1:00:56.320 the weather. There's maybe there every once in a while 1:00:56.360 --> 1:00:58.280 you know for sure you're going to get a massive 1:00:58.360 --> 1:01:00.000 rain and you can move on. But for the most part, 1:01:00.160 --> 1:01:03.400 especially here, the weather changes. So I'm just glad we 1:01:03.560 --> 1:01:07.440 stuck with it. Same thing with Nashville. What hurt us 1:01:07.440 --> 1:01:10.840 at Nashville was the lightning delays that happened essentially as 1:01:10.880 --> 1:01:13.240 soon as the as soon as the soccer game was over, 1:01:13.720 --> 1:01:16.200 not the postgame, but as soon as the game ended, 1:01:16.240 --> 1:01:17.800 or when they were real close to ending, we started 1:01:17.800 --> 1:01:20.160 getting in lightning delays. But the weather was missing us 1:01:20.160 --> 1:01:22.600 other than the lightning, and if you were within eight miles, 1:01:24.240 --> 1:01:26.640 TV has to come down, all of their all of 1:01:26.680 --> 1:01:28.360 their guys have to come out, so you couldn't broadcast 1:01:28.440 --> 1:01:31.400 it anyway. So we kept having these weather delays, and 1:01:31.440 --> 1:01:33.200 then we thought we were going to be okay, and 1:01:33.240 --> 1:01:34.760 it looked like the rain was going to miss us, 1:01:34.760 --> 1:01:36.440 and then the one of the storms that was going 1:01:36.520 --> 1:01:38.880 to go to just miss us barely started blowing up, 1:01:38.880 --> 1:01:40.760 and that was that rain that caused us the issue. 1:01:41.080 --> 1:01:43.280 So a lot of people are giving us a hard time, saying, well, 1:01:43.360 --> 1:01:46.360 if you'd come out of soccer earlier, Actually we had 1:01:46.360 --> 1:01:50.080 a weather delay soccer. Fox stayed with soccer longer than 1:01:50.080 --> 1:01:52.120 they planned because what we really wanted to do was 1:01:52.160 --> 1:01:54.200 come out of soccer and go right to racing, not 1:01:54.240 --> 1:01:56.960 to pre race, but right to racing. And so they said, look, 1:01:57.000 --> 1:01:59.320 we'll stay at soccer longer to give us that opportunity 1:01:59.320 --> 1:02:02.520 which we thought we'd get, and then ultimately that rain 1:02:02.600 --> 1:02:04.680 came and was so so much rain that we just 1:02:04.760 --> 1:02:06.600 knew we couldn't we couldn't move on, and then we, 1:02:07.000 --> 1:02:08.400 you know, have to run on Monday, and running on 1:02:08.400 --> 1:02:10.520 Monday's terrible. The good news about the Monday race was 1:02:10.560 --> 1:02:12.600 we we still had seven hundred and seventy five thousand 1:02:12.680 --> 1:02:16.240 viewers on a Monday afternoon, right, we had two point 1:02:16.320 --> 1:02:19.120 nine million viewers that actually watched the rain delay broadcast 1:02:19.160 --> 1:02:22.680 of IndyCars. So you know what, I think we're most 1:02:22.680 --> 1:02:24.560 excited about that. Seven to seventy five on a Monday 1:02:24.560 --> 1:02:25.960 afternoon is a pretty strong number. 1:02:26.400 --> 1:02:29.840 I look back to as you're probably hoping for non 1:02:30.040 --> 1:02:32.840 extra time worry not for that soccer match. Did you 1:02:32.880 --> 1:02:34.600 find yourself say we'll just get this thing. 1:02:34.720 --> 1:02:37.800 Well, initially we were. We were not wanting not the 1:02:37.880 --> 1:02:40.120 extra time, and then when it got an extra time, right, 1:02:40.400 --> 1:02:41.960 you know, we ended up having that rain delay. So 1:02:42.000 --> 1:02:45.600 even if that non extra time hadn't a lightning delay, 1:02:45.640 --> 1:02:47.040 even if that hadn't happened, we'd have been in the 1:02:47.080 --> 1:02:50.200 same situation with lightning. But yes, as the game was going, 1:02:50.240 --> 1:02:52.720 we're like just get this game over note and let 1:02:52.800 --> 1:02:54.240 us have an opportunity to go racing. 1:02:54.640 --> 1:02:56.920 And that's that's hard right there, when you're dealing with 1:02:56.920 --> 1:02:59.600 mother nature of good luck with it, seriously, I mean 1:03:00.120 --> 1:03:03.280 to do nothing. And yeah, and it's good that you've 1:03:03.280 --> 1:03:06.240 got that good number on Monday too, because that's also 1:03:06.640 --> 1:03:09.280 a tough avenue to take, right For sure, you never 1:03:09.320 --> 1:03:10.880 really know what you're going to get, and most of 1:03:10.920 --> 1:03:12.520 the time, if you feel you know what you're going 1:03:12.560 --> 1:03:14.080 to get, it is probably not going to be great. 1:03:13.960 --> 1:03:17.160 Right, Yeah, no, it was. It was not ideal. The 1:03:17.200 --> 1:03:20.080 worst part is the way it's terrible for fans. I mean, 1:03:20.120 --> 1:03:21.720 you've got fans who have to go to work but 1:03:21.880 --> 1:03:23.680 have to go back to work on Monday, or who 1:03:23.680 --> 1:03:26.400 have made other plans, and you put fans in a really, 1:03:26.560 --> 1:03:29.720 really terrible spot. We talked at one point in time, 1:03:29.760 --> 1:03:31.320 as do we just try and go as late as 1:03:31.360 --> 1:03:34.080 we can and get it in on on Sunday night, 1:03:34.160 --> 1:03:35.920 And we were prepared at that point in time to 1:03:35.960 --> 1:03:38.280 go to eleven o'clock start time, But when that trenchial 1:03:38.360 --> 1:03:40.080 rain came, we realized there's no way we'd make it 1:03:40.120 --> 1:03:40.520 by eleven. 1:03:40.560 --> 1:03:44.320 Even that is Speedway President Doug Bolls and Jeff Matthews, 1:03:44.360 --> 1:03:46.480 the owner here of Speedway City Garage, and that's the 1:03:46.640 --> 1:03:49.560 location the NASCAR Haller Parade. Doug, this is the first 1:03:49.600 --> 1:03:52.400 time I've ever seen one. We's entail. I've never been 1:03:52.400 --> 1:03:52.880 here before. 1:03:52.920 --> 1:03:55.240 Saw the trucks that bring all the cars in. We 1:03:55.280 --> 1:03:58.040 call them transporters in IndyCar. They call them haulers in NASCAR. 1:03:59.000 --> 1:04:02.040 So all the transporters lined up here. It's a really 1:04:02.040 --> 1:04:05.040 cool event because so many people come to this with kids, 1:04:05.520 --> 1:04:07.400 and it's a really cool opportunity for kids to get 1:04:07.440 --> 1:04:10.000 right up next close to those trucks. The truck drivers 1:04:10.040 --> 1:04:12.160 oftentimes are handing out hero cards. It just is a 1:04:12.200 --> 1:04:14.840 fun way to celebrate the fact that the Brickyards just 1:04:14.880 --> 1:04:18.080 around the corner. This Haller Parade idea started here in Indianapolis. 1:04:18.080 --> 1:04:19.920 There's a couple other communities that do it now, but 1:04:19.960 --> 1:04:22.240 this is as much a tradition as kissing the Bricks 1:04:22.560 --> 1:04:25.560 thirtieth anniversary of that this year at the Brickyard. It 1:04:25.640 --> 1:04:27.480 is the Haller Parade that comes right here on Main Street, 1:04:27.520 --> 1:04:29.600 and then everybody all these businesses on Main Street, so 1:04:29.600 --> 1:04:30.840 we're in one of the great ones here on the 1:04:30.840 --> 1:04:33.120 North end. But walking up and down Main Street there's 1:04:33.160 --> 1:04:35.880 tons of shops, tons of place to eat. It's really 1:04:35.880 --> 1:04:38.480 a cool evening of just seeing the haulers and getting 1:04:38.480 --> 1:04:40.800 a chance to check out the vibrancy of Main Street. 1:04:40.800 --> 1:04:44.280 Do you have a favorite NASCAR driver? Oh? 1:04:44.320 --> 1:04:44.440 Who? 1:04:44.520 --> 1:04:46.880 Your favorite driver is coming here tomorrow night? Yeah? 1:04:46.960 --> 1:04:48.920 No, I mean yeah, so Connor would be my favorite 1:04:48.960 --> 1:04:52.280 ye card driver. Followed behind if it wasn't family related. 1:04:52.320 --> 1:04:54.840 Followed behind by Will Power because Will it's just crazy. 1:04:54.960 --> 1:04:58.240 Sure, he's crazy, all right. So I'm a. 1:04:58.240 --> 1:05:00.920 Chase Briscoe fan, a Christopher Bell fan, and a Kyle 1:05:01.000 --> 1:05:02.240 Larson fan. Those would be my two. 1:05:02.360 --> 1:05:05.160 So here's what's funny about Chase briscow around here, and 1:05:05.200 --> 1:05:08.080 he's kind enough to come on the show often, and 1:05:08.080 --> 1:05:11.640 he's from Mitchell, Indiana, down where I'm from. It does 1:05:11.680 --> 1:05:14.640 not seem like that he gets the love nor the 1:05:14.760 --> 1:05:18.400 notoriety that certainly Jeff Gordon got from the time that 1:05:18.440 --> 1:05:22.320 he's spent over in Hendricks County or Tony Stewart from 1:05:22.360 --> 1:05:25.560 being from here as well. How do you get I mean, 1:05:25.680 --> 1:05:28.600 is it all up to winning and results or what 1:05:28.760 --> 1:05:31.000 is it with Chase? Because it seems like if you're 1:05:31.000 --> 1:05:33.120 really going to embrace somebody around here that would be 1:05:33.160 --> 1:05:36.760 the dude because he is from La Rule Lawrence County, 1:05:36.800 --> 1:05:37.160 for sure. 1:05:37.360 --> 1:05:41.720 I think Jeff came to NASCAR exactly the right time. 1:05:41.760 --> 1:05:44.480 You had the older guard beginning to slow down. You 1:05:44.520 --> 1:05:49.480 had this young, good looking kid from Indiana slash California, 1:05:49.880 --> 1:05:53.880 and he instantly became successful. Yeah, and so Chase has 1:05:54.920 --> 1:05:57.520 not been as successful as Jeff, as He's obviously won 1:05:57.560 --> 1:06:00.640 some races. He's really competitive and he's a great guy, 1:06:00.680 --> 1:06:02.840 and I hope to the extent he continues to win 1:06:02.960 --> 1:06:06.080 races that that people get on board, especially Hoosiers, get 1:06:06.120 --> 1:06:08.280 on board with Chase. He's a great guy. He and 1:06:08.320 --> 1:06:11.320 Connor get along really well. It's pretty fun when you 1:06:11.360 --> 1:06:13.080 see some of these indy car drivers who actually have 1:06:13.120 --> 1:06:15.760 good relationship with NASCAR drivers. In fact, I think Connor 1:06:15.880 --> 1:06:19.080 spent some time Bend and Chase's here about driving trucks. 1:06:19.120 --> 1:06:22.680 Even that's pretty cool. I just think that he is 1:06:22.720 --> 1:06:25.760 as talented, and I just kind of wonder why, you know, 1:06:25.920 --> 1:06:29.200 from locally speaking, he doesn't get as much known. 1:06:29.040 --> 1:06:30.520 To Right and the other thing too. I think I 1:06:30.560 --> 1:06:32.760 think you think about the popularity of NASCAR when it 1:06:32.800 --> 1:06:35.120 came here in nineteen ninety four was such a big deal. 1:06:35.160 --> 1:06:37.080 I guess that was a part of the platform was 1:06:37.120 --> 1:06:37.760 maybe a little bit. 1:06:37.720 --> 1:06:40.360 Bitter, and Jeff was a phenomenon. He was definitely Wow. 1:06:40.600 --> 1:06:42.920 Yeah he's actually he's actually over at the museum right now, 1:06:43.000 --> 1:06:45.120 is it really, Yeah, he's because we've got in the museum, 1:06:45.160 --> 1:06:46.920 we've got a Jeff Gordon exhibit. So he's over there 1:06:46.960 --> 1:06:48.120 officially doing the ribbon cutting. 1:06:48.120 --> 1:06:49.800 Weak. So I had my kids with me, they were 1:06:49.880 --> 1:06:51.800 much younger once upon a time, and you put me 1:06:51.880 --> 1:06:54.880 up in the pagoda, and I'm in the bathroom and 1:06:54.920 --> 1:06:58.800 I hear my daughter, who was I think around eight 1:06:58.880 --> 1:07:01.320 at the time, Laney talking to somebody. I go, who 1:07:01.320 --> 1:07:03.600 in the world is she talking to? And I walk 1:07:03.640 --> 1:07:09.080 out of the bathroom and it's Jeff. God. I don't 1:07:09.080 --> 1:07:12.000 know if she knows anything of what you're talking about 1:07:12.080 --> 1:07:14.400 right here, but it was a thank you very much, 1:07:14.560 --> 1:07:17.480 tera Hot. It was a really cool moment right there. 1:07:17.480 --> 1:07:21.040 And see, those are moments that you will remember forever 1:07:21.320 --> 1:07:23.800 around here, because that's what can happen when you run 1:07:23.840 --> 1:07:24.680 into guys like you know. 1:07:24.720 --> 1:07:26.760 I remember when I first started working the speedway, one 1:07:26.800 --> 1:07:28.320 of the one of the things I think was a 1:07:28.400 --> 1:07:32.040 challenge for us was I was told, hey, JMV doesn't 1:07:32.040 --> 1:07:34.280 like NASCAR because none of the NASCAR guys go on 1:07:34.280 --> 1:07:35.960 the show. And that was one of the things I 1:07:36.000 --> 1:07:37.720 do get pussy about that, And that was one of 1:07:37.720 --> 1:07:39.160 the things I was like, well, we got to fix that. 1:07:39.280 --> 1:07:41.440 And that's the beauty like a Chase Briscoe and you 1:07:41.520 --> 1:07:43.800 got people that because there are still drivers who. 1:07:43.680 --> 1:07:46.080 Are like Gano comes on and he's awesome. 1:07:45.720 --> 1:07:47.640 Too, So you've got you do have a handful of 1:07:47.640 --> 1:07:49.000 guys are like, I don't want to call radio, and 1:07:49.040 --> 1:07:51.080 they don't understand how big your reach is and how 1:07:51.120 --> 1:07:53.960 important because you're and you're talking to sports fans exactly right, 1:07:54.000 --> 1:07:56.520 you're talking to their their core demo. And so when 1:07:56.560 --> 1:07:58.800 you have guys that understand it, like a Chase and 1:07:58.800 --> 1:08:01.840 and and Joey's really good about that too. You know, 1:08:01.880 --> 1:08:04.400 even Michael McDowell coming in last week and trying to 1:08:04.400 --> 1:08:06.200 help out those those are the guys that are the 1:08:06.200 --> 1:08:08.720 good guys that understand how important it is to talk 1:08:08.720 --> 1:08:10.960 to the fans. My wife is leaving me. 1:08:10.960 --> 1:08:14.840 She's Beth is leaving.

I will say this the Ned 1:14:15.800 --> 1:14:18.960 Jarrett passed away within the last two months. He was 1:14:19.000 --> 1:14:21.920 such an incredible advocate of racing in general, but certainly 1:14:22.000 --> 1:14:22.639 this race too. 1:14:22.800 --> 1:14:22.960 Yeah. 1:14:23.000 --> 1:14:25.200 He was fantastic. And you know one of the moments 1:14:25.640 --> 1:14:28.479 did I remember most is Dale Jarrett winning the Daytona 1:14:28.520 --> 1:14:30.800 five hundred and Ned getting to call that race and 1:14:30.840 --> 1:14:33.320 how cool that was as a dad. You could hear 1:14:33.360 --> 1:14:35.000 the emotion in him as he was trying to call 1:14:35.040 --> 1:14:38.960 them that win for for Dale. And Dale's a great guy. 1:14:39.040 --> 1:14:40.800 I mean, he's a really really good Guy's been really 1:14:40.800 --> 1:14:42.920 helpful here. He's not here on this weekend, unfortunate, but 1:14:42.960 --> 1:14:44.920 Todd Parrott, his crew chief back then, that was the 1:14:44.920 --> 1:14:47.240 two of them that schemed on this idea of kissing 1:14:47.240 --> 1:14:48.840 the bricks. He'll be here this weekend and it should 1:14:48.840 --> 1:14:49.519 be a little bit of fun. 1:14:49.600 --> 1:14:53.040 You know, the situation going back to when Dale Jarrett won, 1:14:53.720 --> 1:14:56.679 everybody around here was waiting on AU Michigan. You remember 1:14:56.720 --> 1:14:59.160 that situation. Do you remember that on CBS they were 1:14:59.200 --> 1:15:02.320 waiting on AU in Michigan. You go, ah, I urry up. 1:15:02.800 --> 1:15:04.559 And then I think a lot of people around here 1:15:04.600 --> 1:15:08.400 were privy to that ending because of that, and that 1:15:08.960 --> 1:15:10.240 remains in your. 1:15:10.120 --> 1:15:13.400 Mind for sure. I'd totally forgotten that. Obviously, I was 1:15:13.439 --> 1:15:14.559 worrying about the Daytona five. 1:15:14.880 --> 1:15:18.240 Exactly right. You're waiting on Michigan right there. 1:15:18.560 --> 1:15:22.200 Doug Bowles, Jeff Matthews, Alex Lamantes of Ahearst of La 1:15:22.280 --> 1:15:23.719 Montes joining us too. 1:15:24.000 --> 1:15:25.320 Did you go to the game last night. 1:15:25.200 --> 1:15:26.559 Pal, No I missed it. 1:15:26.880 --> 1:15:31.040 You missed that, You missed a really incredible offensive performance 1:15:31.160 --> 1:15:31.559 right there. 1:15:31.680 --> 1:15:34.519 Yeah, yeah, I watched some of it, and especially towards 1:15:34.600 --> 1:15:36.880 the end there. But wow, what a game, right what 1:15:37.000 --> 1:15:38.040 they won by thirty? 1:15:38.280 --> 1:15:39.240 Yeah, I've. 1:15:40.800 --> 1:15:43.080 They put one twenty three to the highest point total 1:15:43.080 --> 1:15:43.759 in their history. 1:15:43.920 --> 1:15:46.240 So yeah, the hell of a game, man, what great. 1:15:46.320 --> 1:15:48.439 Remind people again how they can get. 1:15:48.320 --> 1:15:50.639 Involved, absolutely. Yeah. 1:15:50.680 --> 1:15:53.360 If you just go on our Facebook page or our 1:15:53.400 --> 1:15:58.080 Instagram page, you will see links for the online auction. 1:15:58.800 --> 1:16:01.840 All the money goes to benefit the Indiana Fever Fund. 1:16:02.160 --> 1:16:05.880 Indiana Fever Fund is doing great work through the Pacers Foundation, 1:16:06.040 --> 1:16:08.880 and like I said, every dollar that we raise is 1:16:08.920 --> 1:16:12.720 a dollar that I will match. So so how much 1:16:12.760 --> 1:16:16.200 longer do we have to have? Until tomorrow? Around three pm? 1:16:16.600 --> 1:16:19.559 And there's still some some seats available, lower level seats 1:16:19.560 --> 1:16:23.559 in the Sire Spirit sixty seven section. Real nice, great 1:16:23.680 --> 1:16:26.080 view center court. You can see all the action. 1:16:26.280 --> 1:16:28.040 You know, how much different it is going to a 1:16:28.080 --> 1:16:30.840 Fever game than they go really going to any other 1:16:31.280 --> 1:16:35.080 w NBA game out there. It's just a completely different experience. 1:16:35.200 --> 1:16:38.679 Yeah, and even you watch them travel, they travel so well. Yeah, 1:16:38.720 --> 1:16:39.280 It's funny. 1:16:39.280 --> 1:16:41.400 It's like you go, you watch a game online, you 1:16:41.400 --> 1:16:44.840 watch the Fever, or you watch the Fever play uh Atlanta, 1:16:44.880 --> 1:16:47.000 and you're gonna see Iowa jerseys in the stands. 1:16:47.080 --> 1:16:48.280 Yeah, just crazy. 1:16:48.320 --> 1:16:49.879 You go anywhere. 1:16:49.960 --> 1:16:51.200 Yeah, and you see that too. 1:16:51.280 --> 1:16:54.200 But yeah, well we can't have a suspension though here Alex, 1:16:54.280 --> 1:16:57.400 we we've got a side step the next technical foul here. 1:16:57.520 --> 1:16:58.360 What you got to do that? 1:16:58.680 --> 1:16:58.920 You know? 1:16:59.320 --> 1:17:01.120 The thing is and I think a lot of us 1:17:01.200 --> 1:17:02.880 dealt with it when we were younger. We're just a 1:17:02.920 --> 1:17:05.519 little hot heads sometimes when you're younger, right. 1:17:05.640 --> 1:17:09.719 I understand quality of it too. I think then also 1:17:09.800 --> 1:17:13.200 what has to supersede that is my team and my 1:17:13.400 --> 1:17:16.479 organization and my fans right here, because you just you 1:17:16.520 --> 1:17:18.439 can't be lost for any game. 1:17:18.920 --> 1:17:20.840 There's more at stake than your ego. 1:17:20.880 --> 1:17:23.920 There's no doubt. Yes, people tell me that all the 1:17:23.960 --> 1:17:26.000 time and they'll go, We'll wait a minute, but no, 1:17:26.120 --> 1:17:27.680 that is that is so true. 1:17:27.600 --> 1:17:27.800 You know. 1:17:27.880 --> 1:17:30.439 But at the flip side, is you love the passion, right, yeah, 1:17:30.479 --> 1:17:31.360 I mean that's what's. 1:17:31.200 --> 1:17:31.880 So cool about it. 1:17:31.920 --> 1:17:34.760 I mean, if that's what makes her it is and 1:17:34.800 --> 1:17:36.200 you're right at the end of the day, when you 1:17:36.240 --> 1:17:37.800 get that close, you're like, Okay, I got to slow 1:17:37.840 --> 1:17:39.880 down a little bit because the team needs me. But 1:17:40.160 --> 1:17:42.120 but what makes her who she is is she's so 1:17:42.280 --> 1:17:44.559 passionate and that and it just comes through and it's 1:17:44.560 --> 1:17:47.200 authentic and you care about it, and that's that's fun 1:17:47.200 --> 1:17:47.599 to watch. 1:17:47.920 --> 1:17:51.200 If it were bull crap and it was not authentic, 1:17:51.280 --> 1:17:53.920 then we, like I take issue with it because you 1:17:54.040 --> 1:17:56.880 just can't miss a game with your team and those 1:17:56.920 --> 1:18:00.200 that are out to watch you. But because that has 1:18:00.520 --> 1:18:03.840 fuel the fire, I do understand that, because a lot 1:18:03.840 --> 1:18:05.240 of people are built that way, Doug. 1:18:05.479 --> 1:18:07.519 That's why I love will Power, right, I was telling 1:18:07.560 --> 1:18:09.720 you obviously, Connor, But I will love Will because we'll 1:18:09.800 --> 1:18:13.799 just it's the emotion comes through. And so many times 1:18:13.840 --> 1:18:15.800 we take our our athletes and we sort of we 1:18:16.280 --> 1:18:19.599 sanitize them, yes, and and you don't get to see 1:18:19.600 --> 1:18:21.479 who they really are and the passion that they have. 1:18:21.560 --> 1:18:23.400 And I think that's kind of what makes you fall 1:18:23.439 --> 1:18:25.519 in love or or not like somebody, right, And that 1:18:25.600 --> 1:18:28.400 sells tickets either way. You want somebody that's gonna polarize you, 1:18:28.800 --> 1:18:30.320 all right, Alex, have you been here before? 1:18:30.560 --> 1:18:32.000 Absolutely?

You're worrying about, you know, 1:21:38.320 --> 1:21:40.559 moving a beer or coffee. I'm worrying about selling tickets. 1:21:40.560 --> 1:21:42.759 But if that's all we were known for, we've failed 1:21:42.760 --> 1:21:44.800 in the platforms we've given. We really have to find 1:21:44.800 --> 1:21:46.320 a way to give back to our community, to make 1:21:46.320 --> 1:21:48.280 our community better because of the places where we are. 1:21:48.320 --> 1:21:51.120 And that is again the secret sauce of India. There's 1:21:51.160 --> 1:21:53.240 so many people that believe that and care about this city. 1:21:53.280 --> 1:21:56.640 Well, that's what's great. It's a big city, but we 1:21:56.760 --> 1:21:59.960 all know everybody and it's like still a very tightly 1:22:00.520 --> 1:22:03.280 for sure group of people to where when you can 1:22:03.320 --> 1:22:05.920 get enough people together, you can really do some things. 1:22:06.000 --> 1:22:08.000 For sure, the size of the city should not have 1:22:08.200 --> 1:22:12.080 the five hundred Pacers, the Colts, We're not that big 1:22:12.080 --> 1:22:14.679 of a city. But the way we collectively work together 1:22:14.800 --> 1:22:17.200 to make a big difference. And even the sports franchises 1:22:17.200 --> 1:22:20.160 work together so well because we don't feel like we're 1:22:20.160 --> 1:22:21.840 competing against each other. We're all doing the same thing. 1:22:21.920 --> 1:22:24.439 Let's elevate the city of Indianapolis through the sports platforms 1:22:24.600 --> 1:22:24.760 we have. 1:22:25.320 --> 1:22:28.439 Yeah, I mean, it's so impressive.

But honestly, when you've 1:31:07.000 --> 1:31:09.640 already done that and you're you're sitting on six and 1:31:09.760 --> 1:31:14.840 now seven in a thirty point blowout, as the team leader, 1:31:15.240 --> 1:31:17.200 the most important piece of that team, you're going to 1:31:17.320 --> 1:31:21.360 let that thing go yeah, and I understand, and. 1:31:21.439 --> 1:31:23.960 The defense is gonna be, well, she's such a competitor 1:31:24.640 --> 1:31:27.519 and she doesn't have an off switch. Well, you also 1:31:27.600 --> 1:31:30.479 have to understand the moment. And now maybe there's a 1:31:30.520 --> 1:31:33.400 couple of games. I don't know what the rules are. 1:31:33.479 --> 1:31:37.760 Once you have eight, you're suspended one game, okay, you 1:31:37.880 --> 1:31:39.840 come back, and then you get another one. You get 1:31:39.960 --> 1:31:41.840 like a couple more before you're suspended again. 1:31:42.280 --> 1:31:43.120 I don't how that work. 1:31:44.720 --> 1:31:47.760 You go to eight, you're suspended, and then two more. 1:31:47.880 --> 1:31:50.120 Every two after that you get suspended again. 1:31:50.920 --> 1:31:54.600 But at one point, then I guess what you do? 1:31:55.040 --> 1:31:57.360 You look at the schedule. If there's two easy games, 1:31:57.560 --> 1:32:00.760 easier games, you get teed up, been one to get 1:32:01.160 --> 1:32:02.920 thrown out, and then you know you don't play the 1:32:03.040 --> 1:32:06.600 next game if you play two crappy teams. But what 1:32:06.840 --> 1:32:10.720 what she's done with her fiery way she approaches the 1:32:10.800 --> 1:32:16.920 game is she's put herself one one, one reaction away 1:32:17.320 --> 1:32:21.400 from a suspension, and your best player can't should not 1:32:21.560 --> 1:32:26.400 put herself in that situation. It was unnecessary, and I 1:32:26.600 --> 1:32:30.479 understand the fire that burns in her. And somebody mentioned 1:32:30.520 --> 1:32:35.360 where that was such a soft peck maybe, but You've 1:32:35.400 --> 1:32:37.600 got to understand also that these rests don't know what 1:32:37.640 --> 1:32:41.280 the hell they're doing. They're not out there, they're just 1:32:41.400 --> 1:32:45.360 out there guessing. So don't put yourself, don't don't put 1:32:45.680 --> 1:32:51.400 that your availability in someone else's hands. Walk away, and 1:32:51.960 --> 1:32:54.880 and I don't know, the word that comes to mind 1:32:55.000 --> 1:33:00.360 is unnecessary because she's put herself with the accumulation in 1:33:00.439 --> 1:33:04.120 a spot where maybe there's something that's really valid. Somebody's 1:33:04.160 --> 1:33:09.840 really pushed your to the edge and you respond, uh, well, 1:33:09.880 --> 1:33:13.599 then the legitimate one gets you a suspicion when maybe 1:33:13.640 --> 1:33:15.400 there were a couple and there've been a couple that 1:33:15.479 --> 1:33:18.800 were that were iffy, but that doesn't matter. They're on there, 1:33:18.880 --> 1:33:21.760 so that's the only thing. And when they I tell you, 1:33:21.840 --> 1:33:23.840 when they played like they did last night, I realized 1:33:23.880 --> 1:33:28.040 Connecticut's not very good. But when you get three players 1:33:28.160 --> 1:33:34.000 that can routinely drop seventy points, as these three players 1:33:34.080 --> 1:33:36.719 can do, you can do great things that they still 1:33:36.760 --> 1:33:39.960 can't play defense they either can or won't or whatever. 1:33:40.680 --> 1:33:43.320 You know what they remind me of. You remember Loyola 1:33:43.360 --> 1:33:47.400 melop Marymount. Yeah, they were that's what they remind me of. 1:33:47.560 --> 1:33:49.880 They want to get the game set up they didn't 1:33:49.960 --> 1:33:53.280 care if they gave us easy basket is in it. 1:33:53.600 --> 1:33:56.360 They let them get going hot and heavy the other way. 1:33:57.600 --> 1:34:00.240 But but no one hundred and twenty three points and 1:34:00.760 --> 1:34:04.519 the third with the fourth quarter for mainly your backup, 1:34:04.600 --> 1:34:06.960 so they could have scored if they had a mind too, 1:34:06.960 --> 1:34:09.120 they could have scored one hundred and thirty and not 1:34:09.280 --> 1:34:09.800 bad at I. 1:34:11.280 --> 1:34:15.840 Hey, Mike, I say this. Don't get triggered by a scrub. Yeah, 1:34:15.840 --> 1:34:19.240 all right, she got triggered by a scrub for one 1:34:19.320 --> 1:34:24.519 play tony point blowout. Don't get triggered and compromise your 1:34:24.560 --> 1:34:26.719 participation in the future by a scrub. 1:34:27.000 --> 1:34:29.280 That's it, because maybe that's what happens when it matters 1:34:29.360 --> 1:34:32.519 and they send a the eighth player on the roster 1:34:32.720 --> 1:34:35.719 out the rough her up, and you know, she throws 1:34:35.760 --> 1:34:40.519 an elbow or whatever I mean Clark in response, and 1:34:40.840 --> 1:34:44.400 then she suspended it, and then it matters, and may 1:34:44.400 --> 1:34:47.920 maybe they're probably good enough to handle a one game 1:34:48.000 --> 1:34:52.360 suspension with the way they're playing and their record, but 1:34:52.520 --> 1:34:58.559 it's just unnecessary, and I don't anticipate her changing. It's 1:34:58.600 --> 1:35:00.799 sound of like with Andrew Luck, with the way he played. 1:35:01.479 --> 1:35:03.960 He always told us he would try to change how 1:35:04.000 --> 1:35:06.880 he played, and and he didn't a lot because that's 1:35:06.920 --> 1:35:10.280 who that's what made him who he is. But at 1:35:10.360 --> 1:35:12.640 the same time, what is it the best ability, the 1:35:12.640 --> 1:35:16.439 availability and and if you if you can't play, you 1:35:16.520 --> 1:35:17.200 can't help. 1:35:17.840 --> 1:35:21.320 Although chapel, Yeah, my chapel of CBS just kind of 1:35:21.400 --> 1:35:22.680 behave behaviorrself. 1:35:22.680 --> 1:35:25.160 But just just watch your reactions. 1:35:26.320 --> 1:35:28.360 My chapel of CBS four and Fox with you down 1:35:28.439 --> 1:35:31.960 with us. So next week Coats Camp officially gets started. 1:35:32.320 --> 1:35:35.760 What are the some of the dialogue expectations when the 1:35:35.800 --> 1:35:38.960 players come in, you guys converse with them, what are 1:35:39.040 --> 1:35:42.280 some of the expectations from Daniel Jones to John fit Taylor, 1:35:42.840 --> 1:35:46.920 to Leatu Latu, the Mooney Ward to the Forrest Bucker. 1:35:47.000 --> 1:35:48.879 Give me some of the expectations, Mike. 1:35:49.840 --> 1:35:51.800 Oh, there, they're going to talk to defensively, this I 1:35:51.880 --> 1:35:55.160 think this is a chance to be a really good 1:35:55.280 --> 1:35:58.320 top ten defense that I think they can be if 1:35:58.600 --> 1:36:03.160 if the forest there can give them some meaningful playing time. 1:36:03.240 --> 1:36:06.680 And we don't know Daniel Jones, see, I don't know 1:36:06.680 --> 1:36:09.080 who we get on Toothy when they report we won't 1:36:09.080 --> 1:36:13.120 get Jones, I don't think. But no, they're gonna be 1:36:13.160 --> 1:36:17.880 optimistic again if this team can stay healthy, which I 1:36:18.000 --> 1:36:22.320 already already saw that Carolina lost a top tier linebacker 1:36:22.400 --> 1:36:24.479 with a knee injury or lower leg injury or whatever. 1:36:25.439 --> 1:36:29.479 But I think they're gonna be optimistic again. Defensively, you've 1:36:29.560 --> 1:36:34.200 got five new starters offensively, you know, with the Tyler Warrens, 1:36:34.240 --> 1:36:38.240 and it's a good offense with Tyler Warren and Pierce 1:36:38.320 --> 1:36:43.760 and downs internally Jonathan Taylor. But the quarterback has to 1:36:43.840 --> 1:36:46.760 be healthy and stay healthy, so it'll be upfeat. It 1:36:46.840 --> 1:36:49.439 always is up beat. Sometimes you're thinking, yeah, these guys, 1:36:50.040 --> 1:36:52.680 they're talking big and they'll be you know, four and 1:36:52.800 --> 1:36:56.040 twelve back in the sixteen game season. But I think 1:36:56.080 --> 1:36:59.040 there's reason for this team to be up beat. But 1:36:59.240 --> 1:37:03.599 it just it just depends on four or five issues, 1:37:03.720 --> 1:37:07.880 and some of them is an injury. But again, until 1:37:07.880 --> 1:37:11.920 you start playing, you're not gonna know. I'm more interested 1:37:12.080 --> 1:37:16.599 next Tuesday when Chris Ballard talks with us. He always 1:37:16.680 --> 1:37:20.120 does that free camp, and he'll he'll give us some 1:37:20.240 --> 1:37:22.920 insight I think on who's aware, who's going to do what, 1:37:23.600 --> 1:37:26.599 whether a bucker is going to be on puff or calex. 1:37:26.680 --> 1:37:26.840 Here. 1:37:27.080 --> 1:37:28.680 See the last time we saw I like here's he 1:37:28.800 --> 1:37:32.599 wasn't practicing because of the ankle. Well, that's been a month, 1:37:32.840 --> 1:37:35.840 five weeks, so he very well could have been. I'm 1:37:35.880 --> 1:37:38.960 sure by now he's running around now. Whether it's full go, 1:37:39.160 --> 1:37:41.920 I don't know. But you know, one of the big 1:37:42.040 --> 1:37:45.920 questions is when he'll be ready to really cut loosing camp. 1:37:45.960 --> 1:37:48.000 And that's kind of important because you're paid him big 1:37:48.040 --> 1:37:50.479 money and you got rid of Michael Pittman, and you 1:37:50.560 --> 1:37:52.479 don't really have a proven number three receiver. 1:37:53.479 --> 1:37:55.600 So by chapel of CBS four or Fox with It, 1:37:55.680 --> 1:37:57.840 don he might Before I let you go here, we're 1:37:57.920 --> 1:38:00.479 kind of short on time. I drive ask you this. 1:38:01.720 --> 1:38:06.519 I brought this up yesterday. Situationally speaking, is there a 1:38:06.640 --> 1:38:11.240 scenario that you looked at if the Colts lived down 1:38:11.280 --> 1:38:15.640 again to expectations in twenty twenty six to where they 1:38:15.760 --> 1:38:20.360 have an organizational change but the head coach remains the same. 1:38:21.120 --> 1:38:22.880 How much of a possibility is that? 1:38:24.560 --> 1:38:27.280 In my mind? Not likely, because then again you're and 1:38:27.360 --> 1:38:29.960 again I think Shane is one of the top offensive 1:38:30.000 --> 1:38:34.840 coordinators offensive minds in the league. Now, whether he's made 1:38:34.960 --> 1:38:37.960 enough growth as a head coach. No, I think if 1:38:38.040 --> 1:38:43.640 Carly decides to make a change. It's everything and then 1:38:44.800 --> 1:38:47.160 which only a handful of players will be off limits 1:38:47.200 --> 1:38:49.920 as far as you know. I guess core players, I 1:38:50.000 --> 1:38:51.920 guess to the younger players are draft picks. 1:38:52.640 --> 1:38:52.760 Now. 1:38:53.000 --> 1:38:57.479 If it doesn't go well, barring injuries that really you know, 1:38:58.320 --> 1:39:01.760 complicate things, I just think she blows it up and 1:39:02.360 --> 1:39:02.880 starts over. 1:39:04.560 --> 1:39:08.320 I would agree with you on that they're just ways. 1:39:08.479 --> 1:39:11.840 For example, if they don't live up through expectations as 1:39:11.880 --> 1:39:16.000 a team and the offense looks good in the process, 1:39:17.320 --> 1:39:22.800 I kind of wonder if situations are rethought. Yeah, truetally, but. 1:39:22.960 --> 1:39:27.080 But again, then you're telling you're telling your new general manager. 1:39:27.160 --> 1:39:29.599 You know, here's your team, and by the way, here's 1:39:29.640 --> 1:39:34.000 your head coach, and here's your quarterback. It makes a 1:39:34.080 --> 1:39:39.240 lot of sense to not have let the general manager 1:39:40.000 --> 1:39:42.520 make this team in his zone. Image would be difficult 1:39:42.640 --> 1:39:43.439 from the start. 1:39:43.880 --> 1:39:48.080 Right, And Mike Chapel of CBS four Fox with the 1:39:48.160 --> 1:39:50.400 nine Tuesday will be out in front of all of 1:39:50.520 --> 1:39:54.840 it with the players and Chris Boward and everybody for 1:39:54.920 --> 1:39:58.880 the final time at Grant Park and Westfield before it 1:39:59.000 --> 1:40:01.439 moves over to Westfield six. And we'll see what happens 1:40:01.520 --> 1:40:04.760 after that. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting, Mike, it it 1:40:04.960 --> 1:40:10.280 really is. It's funny. I mentioned this at the outset 1:40:10.320 --> 1:40:13.880 of the show. I thought even more so last year. 1:40:14.200 --> 1:40:18.639 They're most of the Colts fans out there are gonna say, yeah, 1:40:18.800 --> 1:40:20.880 I'll believe it when I see it, And it's gonna 1:40:20.880 --> 1:40:22.880 have to be the entirety of the season, not just 1:40:23.000 --> 1:40:23.439 half of it. 1:40:24.120 --> 1:40:27.760 And you can't blame him. It's been it's been five years. 1:40:27.800 --> 1:40:31.200 Is up the player, So you know, at the proven 1:40:31.320 --> 1:40:33.680 league and no one gives you much when you go 1:40:33.800 --> 1:40:35.519 eight to nine or nine and eight or whatever, and 1:40:35.560 --> 1:40:38.400 they don't want to excuse the just win. 1:40:38.360 --> 1:40:42.200 Baby, Mike, I appreciate you. Man. Next week we'll do 1:40:42.280 --> 1:40:44.840 it for real, whether they're in training camp, pal, thank you. 1:40:45.479 --> 1:40:47.800 Instead of bees, and we can just talk about real seven. 1:40:48.080 --> 1:40:51.080 I know, real things and no bs. That'd be weird, 1:40:51.120 --> 1:40:53.000 although I think most of my shows a lot of 1:40:53.040 --> 1:40:57.960 bs anyway, So yeah, thanks Mike.

What we got 1:43:57.160 --> 1:43:57.959 thanks Amanda? 1:43:58.760 --> 1:44:02.000 Actually Amanda from a law firm where she was doing 1:44:02.080 --> 1:44:04.160 PR for a law firm well, and has been with 1:44:04.320 --> 1:44:06.120 us for how many years now, it's been a while 1:44:06.320 --> 1:44:09.280 five years now, so she manages all the PR sides. 1:44:09.320 --> 1:44:11.160 So Susie Elliott, who's probably the name you know who 1:44:11.200 --> 1:44:13.519 really helps works for Amanda. And that's the group that 1:44:13.600 --> 1:44:15.800 really kind of points me in the right direction. 1:44:16.160 --> 1:44:18.280 So who was it that set the JMV takeover up 1:44:18.400 --> 1:44:20.200 on on Georgetown Road. 1:44:20.280 --> 1:44:22.400 So that was a collective effort of the once higher team. 1:44:22.520 --> 1:44:25.160 So the PR team wanted to absolutely do that, so 1:44:25.280 --> 1:44:27.479 did I. So we called the ticket team and the 1:44:27.520 --> 1:44:29.280 ticket team had to make a few phone calls. It 1:44:29.320 --> 1:44:30.960 took a little bit of effort, but it was good. 1:44:32.280 --> 1:44:33.760 It was a great lokate. It was right next to 1:44:33.800 --> 1:44:36.240 the porta pots too. Well, you know, you don't have 1:44:36.280 --> 1:44:38.439 to go far to go to the restaurant right there, 1:44:38.680 --> 1:44:40.320 but last year were so far out in the Coke 1:44:40.400 --> 1:44:42.320 lot it was really difficult. So you were right there 1:44:42.479 --> 1:44:44.240 on Georgetown Road where you got to see all this 1:44:44.240 --> 1:44:46.800 stuff going on. Anything but that's Amanda and her team 1:44:46.840 --> 1:44:48.560 and Kelly and her team on the ticketing side that 1:44:48.640 --> 1:44:50.439 collaborated and said we have to make this happen. 1:44:51.000 --> 1:44:54.240 Amanda's awesome. She's awesome. She was good on the air too, buddy. 1:44:54.560 --> 1:44:56.559 Well that's she's a pr person. That's why I gave 1:44:56.600 --> 1:44:57.679 it her. I knew she'd be fine. 1:44:58.000 --> 1:45:01.920 Right, Hey, mind, everybody do dug before you have to 1:45:02.000 --> 1:45:05.120 go about uh, not only today tomorrow, this week. 1:45:05.320 --> 1:45:07.920 So tonight's our sprint car race that's starting here shortly 1:45:08.200 --> 1:45:10.600 hot laps I think start about six thirty on the 1:45:10.680 --> 1:45:12.920 dirt track there. Then tomorrow we've got practice from about 1:45:13.160 --> 1:45:16.040 to noon to two with both the Ailey Cup and 1:45:16.200 --> 1:45:19.080 the Cup cars tomorrow night. Don't forget Raceway Park trucks, 1:45:19.160 --> 1:45:21.680 NASCAR trucks out at Raceway Park, Connor daily IndyCar driver 1:45:21.760 --> 1:45:22.960 actually running out there, which will be. 1:45:22.960 --> 1:45:23.760 A lot to Beth. 1:45:24.400 --> 1:45:26.680 And Beth is a little bit nervous. I'm worried about that, 1:45:26.760 --> 1:45:27.920 but she'll be She'll be good. 1:45:28.080 --> 1:45:30.160 Yeah, if you're not nervous, are you? I've never known 1:45:30.240 --> 1:45:31.519 Bet to be nervous for anything. 1:45:31.760 --> 1:45:35.080 World Champions always chill, World Champions, stand up jet skiers. 1:45:35.120 --> 1:45:37.920 She was out jet skiing Tuesday night with the boys 1:45:37.960 --> 1:45:40.400 and she can. I won't say how old she is, 1:45:40.479 --> 1:45:45.040 but she will outride all of that. I got the 1:45:45.120 --> 1:45:49.560 look there. And then Saturday the O'Reilly race qualifying for 1:45:49.680 --> 1:45:52.240 our Brickyard four Undre prescent of by PPG, and then 1:45:52.320 --> 1:45:55.000 that race on Sunday, so and then we get a 1:45:55.040 --> 1:45:57.400 weekend off, and then we go for five weekends in 1:45:57.439 --> 1:45:59.559 a row with six races for IndyCar all over the road, 1:45:59.560 --> 1:46:02.559 including the Washington, d C Race coming up. So pretty 1:46:02.600 --> 1:46:03.439 excited about that one. 1:46:03.479 --> 1:46:04.960 How excited are you about DC? 1:46:05.400 --> 1:46:07.920 The idea that Indy cars can race around the National 1:46:08.000 --> 1:46:10.360 Mall in front of the Capitol and the Washington Monument 1:46:10.479 --> 1:46:11.560 is pretty spectacular. 1:46:11.760 --> 1:46:14.960 Well, the President of the United States, get your politics, 1:46:15.080 --> 1:46:19.639 the idea, the idea that we're racing and capital. 1:46:19.720 --> 1:46:21.479 Yeah, he will be there, for sure, he will be there. 1:46:21.520 --> 1:46:23.280 But the mayor of d C, who is a Democrat, 1:46:23.400 --> 1:46:25.880 also is really excited about this. So it's as bipartisan 1:46:25.920 --> 1:46:30.320 as you can give. But the minute I say Washington 1:46:30.400 --> 1:46:32.320 d C. I was at a bar the other Beth 1:46:32.360 --> 1:46:34.880 and I were getting carry out waiting at the bar, 1:46:35.000 --> 1:46:36.639 and some lady looked at me and she walked past 1:46:36.720 --> 1:46:38.560 me and she came back, stood in front of me. 1:46:38.640 --> 1:46:41.360 She said I know you, said I don't. I don't 1:46:41.360 --> 1:46:42.880 think so she said, oh, no, no, I know you. 1:46:43.400 --> 1:46:45.600 And then she said, oh, you're the you're the speedway guy, right, 1:46:45.680 --> 1:46:47.479 and then she just went off on the whole Washington 1:46:47.560 --> 1:46:47.720 d C. 1:46:47.920 --> 1:46:48.120 Race. 1:46:48.520 --> 1:46:50.160 And I tried to remind her that it's the two 1:46:50.200 --> 1:46:53.640 hundred fiftieth anniversary of our country. We need to celebrate it. 1:46:54.080 --> 1:46:55.840 And the fact that Indy targets to go in the 1:46:55.920 --> 1:46:58.160 national nation's capital and do that is a pretty big deal. 1:46:58.240 --> 1:47:00.360 So pretty pretty excited about that event. Gonna be like, 1:47:00.439 --> 1:47:02.160 did the President have a lot to do with you 1:47:02.280 --> 1:47:04.840 guys getting that right? So we started working through the 1:47:05.000 --> 1:47:08.479 channels of going through Congress to get it done, and 1:47:09.000 --> 1:47:11.760 you know how things are in Congress. So the President said, 1:47:11.800 --> 1:47:13.519 this is a great idea, let's just do it. And 1:47:13.520 --> 1:47:16.599 it depends on an executive order. Absolutely, yeah, for sure, 1:47:16.640 --> 1:47:17.400 that's the problem. 1:47:17.760 --> 1:47:22.879 Yeah. So I just think when sometimes when politics gets involved, 1:47:23.000 --> 1:47:25.519 it's problematic. This is not the case. 1:47:25.680 --> 1:47:27.760 Well, and most of us, most of us, whether we 1:47:27.880 --> 1:47:29.240 are on one side of the aisle or not, I 1:47:29.360 --> 1:47:31.880 can sit down together and have a reasonable conversay, no doubt, 1:47:31.880 --> 1:47:32.439 figure out how. 1:47:32.400 --> 1:47:35.559 To make that's all of us right here, all of us. 1:47:36.520 --> 1:47:39.080 I've always felt that way too. Like the last thing 1:47:39.120 --> 1:47:42.000 I ever talked about my friends is you know their political. 1:47:41.760 --> 1:47:43.960 Lean I don't give a crap for sure. And even 1:47:44.400 --> 1:47:46.400 if you did have the conversation, you figure you listen 1:47:46.479 --> 1:47:48.479 to each other and you find a way to work together. 1:47:48.560 --> 1:47:51.360 And that's that's frankly, that's the beauty of the city 1:47:51.400 --> 1:47:53.719 of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana. We've always historically 1:47:53.760 --> 1:47:55.479 been able to do that. We just can't let the 1:47:56.040 --> 1:47:59.200 rhetoric on both sides drive the way we make decisions. 1:47:59.200 --> 1:48:01.840 All right, Lawyers up in here, Alex Lamontes, are you 1:48:01.920 --> 1:48:02.599 agreeing with us? 1:48:03.120 --> 1:48:06.080 I mean, I wouldn't have said it any better. I mean, honestly, 1:48:06.520 --> 1:48:08.840 that's the best thing about Indiana. That's why I love Indiana. 1:48:08.840 --> 1:48:11.320 I mean, you can sit down at a bar like 1:48:11.439 --> 1:48:13.840 we're doing right now, have a drink with someone and 1:48:13.960 --> 1:48:16.920 have a conversation with them and a discussion whether you 1:48:17.080 --> 1:48:19.679 agree or not. At the end of the day, we're 1:48:19.680 --> 1:48:22.880 all hoosiers, We're all the same people, and frankly, we 1:48:22.960 --> 1:48:24.240 all want the same thing. 1:48:24.240 --> 1:48:26.120 And we all care about each other. Yes, right, I 1:48:26.160 --> 1:48:28.040 mean that's the thing we want to We want to 1:48:28.080 --> 1:48:29.280 make a difference for everybody. 1:48:29.439 --> 1:48:31.000 Yeah, totally totally agree. 1:48:31.040 --> 1:48:33.800 And if I may, Amanda is going to fire me. 1:48:33.880 --> 1:48:35.439 I don't go, and I'll try and come back before 1:48:35.479 --> 1:48:39.639 you're all yeah this time, thanks Amanda, thanks for taking 1:48:39.720 --> 1:48:41.600 our boy away.
