1

Speaker 1: There's a ton to celebrate today, Eddie, a ton, You

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: people of Indianapolis, there's a ton to celebrate today, you

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: folks in Carmel, Westfield, Zionsville, Noblesville, Whiteland, Greenwood, Avon, Brownsburg, Cicero, Greenfield.

4
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: There's plenty to celebrate today. Beach Grove, Indiana, Beach. Plenty

5
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: to celebrate today. For example, today is a Friday. We

6
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: love Fridays. Weekend is upon us. You just heard the

7
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: song lover boy. Everybody's working for the weekend weekends here.

8
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, it's noon on a Friday. I'm giving

9
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: you permission right now. Just go ahead and.

10
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: Leave.

11
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: Now, just be sure you're still listening to your radio.

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: All right, I'll see you later, Jake exactly right there,

13
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: he goes, Eddie out the door. Produce your own show.

14
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful day outside, and it's supposed to be

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: a nice weekend. More reason to celebrate, right, A little toasty,

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: it is warm, but it's better than cold. It was

17
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: a wonderful day at the Indiana State Fair. Last night

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: we went around. I saw Tony East, as a matter

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: of fact, saw Joe Copple that we work with and

20
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: his lovely wife Nicole walking around fun at the State Fair.

21
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: A lot to be thankful for. Colts have a preseason

22
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: game against the Green Bay Packers and football is back

23
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil Stadium. Thankful for that. But I think

24
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: there is one thing for which we can be the

25
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: most grateful we can as a collective city, market, and community.

26
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:56,279
Speaker 1: We can all exhale, enjoy, and exultation with the news

27
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: that I'm about to let you in on. Do you

28
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: want the break in your center for yes? Please? This

29
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: just in yesterday after practice, Shane Steiken said that after

30
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: Saturday he will have a better idea and as perhaps

31
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: as early as next week, we will know for certain

32
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: who the starting quarterback of the Colts is going to be,

33
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: and as a result, the conversation of Richardson, Jones, Jones,

34
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: Richardson Anthony, Daniel Daniel Anthony will all subside and we

35
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: can start focusing for Week one in the National Football League. Yes, indeed,

36
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: no more of analyzing every pass, no more of scrutinizing

37
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: every interception, no more of worrying about every ball in

38
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: the dirt, No more of scrutinizing every sailing ball eight

39
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: feet over the head of a receiver. We are going

40
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: to have an answer, and it's going to be Anthony Richardson,

41
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: and the Colts will announce who their starting quarterback is.

42
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: We possibly as early is the beginning of next week.

43
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: And I say this flippantly, but at the same time

44
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: somewhat seriously, I totally understand and from our standpoint, our

45
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: job is to talk about what's going on with the Colts,

46
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: right and people certainly want to hear about what's going

47
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: on with the Colts and all of those things. And

48
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: the big storyline for the Colts is the fact of

49
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback position and the battle at the quarterback spot.

50
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: And it's just been so long since we've been in

51
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: this situation, and you've heard me talk about it at

52
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: inn Osseium. We have had quarterback battles in the past

53
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: that were indicative of the fact that the Colts were

54
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: not in a good place. When you are this far

55
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: into it and you're still not certain how many franchises

56
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: right now now are still uncertain as to who is

57
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: going to be their Week one starter. I know of

58
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: two off the top of my head, Cleveland, three, New Orleans,

59
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: Bingo Boy. Outside of that, well, the Colts obviously, Yeah,

60
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: the Colts, right that there's one more you're thinking of? No,

61
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: those were the three? Yeah, okay, and again, what is

62
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: the maximum number of games you will prognosticate for Cleveland

63
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: or New Orleans to win. The point being, I think,

64
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: as I mentioned yesterday, I think the Colts have a

65
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: decent roster. But a decent roster oftentimes only goes as

66
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: far as your quarterback can take it, and that is undoubtedly.

67
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: The struggle is to find out exactly who and what

68
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: they are. We'll get into it plenty over the course

69
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: of the show today, Get afternoon to you. My name

70
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: is Jack Quarry, Eddie Garrison. The other voice you just

71
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: heard it is Corean Company here on ninety three to

72
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: five and one zero seven five one o seven to five.

73
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: There's a lot to unpact that we haven't even necessarily

74
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: gotten to, for example, from yesterday, because it was either

75
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 1: at the very end of our show or shortly after

76
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: our show when the Pacers' schedule became official and complete.

77
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: It is. You know, the NBA schedule release is different

78
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: obviously than that of the NFL. I mean, we know

79
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: this for certain, but there were a couple of things

80
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: that jumped out. For example, at one point. And I

81
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: think you often see a team that goes on a

82
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: long road trip when it's going out west. But the

83
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: Pacers have what Eddie you pointed out, a six game trip.

84
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: A six game road trip that does not involve going

85
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: out west, right, that seems to be an unusually long

86
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: road trip.

87
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: I think I'd have to double check this. It's around

88
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: the time of the All Star breaks, so it's four

89
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 3: games on the road prior to the break they have,

90
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 3: you All Star Break, and then they're in Washington for

91
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 3: a pair of games, so six games in total, so

92
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 3: it's just over two weeks between home games. Hold on,

93
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: so six games in total to be on the road.

94
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 3: And you mentioned give me the opponents of said games again.

95
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: They will face Milwaukee, Okay, that's where it starts.

96
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 3: That's big. That's big. Toronto, eh, New York, that's big.

97
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: And then I think that wraps up the four game

98
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: trip before the All Star breakthing. You have Washington, Washington. Okay,

99
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: so if you're going to here's the thing. And I

100
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 3: know that this is a year. Sorry Washington, Washington, we

101
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 3: keep forgetting this, but I know that this is a

102
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: year that because you there's so much expectation and anticipation

103
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: and excitement about the Pacers because of what they're coming

104
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: off of, and it's a Sega baba on the New

105
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: York Brooklyn trip, and.

106
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: Then you forget the fact that this is in fact

107
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: the gap year. And I know that that's it's totally

108
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: unfair to say, but it is reality. Having said that,

109
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: if we were to evaluate and assess this schedule the

110
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: same as if we were going to if they were

111
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: fully on board and either the defending NBA champions or

112
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: still you know, right on the cusp of what they were,

113
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: and everybody was back Halibert, Turner, et cetera. If you

114
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: were to look at that trip, you would actually say

115
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: to yourself, you know what, if you've got to pack

116
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: six games on the road into a regular season, which

117
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean you do that each and every year, but

118
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: if you have that long an Eastern Conference road trip,

119
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: then why not backload it with Brooklyn, Washington and Washington.

120
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if you were looking at opponents that are

121
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: the least intimidating on the road, it probably would be

122
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Brooklyn and Washington would be two of the top what

123
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: four that you would choose. So if you've if you

124
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: got to compact it together. I'd rather have it that

125
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: way than have a trip where they've got to go, Oh,

126
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, Cleveland, New York, Milwaukee, Miami. You know what

127
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yep in that regard, so be it. What

128
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: about the west coast trip? When did they go out west?

129
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: But grudguing ly, Jake, I'm not a big fan of

130
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: when they have to go out west. So they have

131
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: one later in the year, in March.

132
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: They go to La to face the Clippers on the fourth,

133
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: That is a Wednesday night, Friday night, the sixth against

134
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: the Lakers, then Sunday, March eighth against Portland, and then

135
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: Tuesday the tenth against Sacramento ten thirty thirty, nine o'clock,

136
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: ten o'clock, late nights for your boy here, late nights.

137
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: So this is all about you, is what you're saying. Yeah,

138
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: oh it is. Come on now, I'm glad to know.

139
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: I've had, in effect a lot to talk about over

140
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: the course of today. As a matter of fact, Tony

141
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: East gonna join us one o'clock. We will get into

142
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: that subject matter. Jeff Rabjohn's going to join us at

143
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: one thirty. Indiana is has been playing games down in

144
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, and I think I don't know, but game

145
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: number one for Indiana, and this is an interesting Indiana

146
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: basketball team. When I say Indiana, I'm talking about IU.

147
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: It's interesting because we don't know a lot about this roster.

148
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: We don't know a lot about what their strengths are

149
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: going to be, we don't know a lot about all

150
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: of it, style of play, everything. I mean, this is

151
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: a complete reset for the Indiana basketball program, and we

152
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: don't know a lot about who it is that they're

153
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: playing in Puerto Rico. What we do know is this

154
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: that there is a history, of course with Indiana basketball,

155
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: not necessarily IU itself, but with people who have coached

156
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: it in Puerto Rico that we don't need to get into.

157
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: But that, of course, I'm talking about the seventy nine

158
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: Pan Am games. That falls under the hashtag of if

159
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, you know. But what we don't know is

160
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,479
Speaker 1: about this Indiana team. Who are going to be their catalysts,

161
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: who are going to be the primary ball handlers, who

162
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: are going to be their great defenders. And we may

163
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: not know much more about that than we did two

164
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: weeks ago, but we have some indication now because of

165
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: the rotation the minutes and the roster that was on display,

166
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: And my understanding is in the exhibitions they played down there,

167
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: the competition got better as they went along. So Jeff

168
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: rab John's going to join us to kind of break

169
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: that down and lay it out for us and just

170
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: kind of give us an indication of a baseline knowledge,

171
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: if you will, if anything else of in the end,

172
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: Joela Erikson will join us at two o'clock today to

173
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: discuss what happened yesterday, and that discussion is going to

174
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: be this, and I promise you, I promise you, I

175
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: am not going to lead off the Colts Packers discussion

176
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: by mentioning the quarterback battle. That'll be second I will lead.

177
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: But the fact that the offensive line, Eddie, you mentioned

178
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: this yesterday. You were Johnny on the spot with this

179
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: when we were talking about I usually am arias let's

180
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: not get ahead of ourselves, but when you were talking

181
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: about areas that were of concern or intrigue is probably

182
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: the better word for you going into the Packers Colts

183
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: open scrimmage. One of the things that you mentioned was

184
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: the offensive line in Green Bay's ability defensively to get

185
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: to the quarterback and interrupt things and I think that's

186
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: what made Shane Steiken's job difficult in terms of the

187
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: continued evaluation of the two quarterbacks or three if you

188
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: want to go there, because of the fact that they

189
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: did not get a lot of time yesterday. The offensive line.

190
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: If you were looking at areas where the Colts yesterday

191
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: seemingly struggled, offensive line would be one of them. They

192
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: did not have a great day. Now they struggled with penalties.

193
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 3: I think that's one of the frustrating things that Shane

194
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 3: Stiken said after practice yesterday, just the fact that there

195
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 3: was a lot of illegal formations and it felt like

196
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: they were losing a ton of yardage in that category,

197
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 3: and there was pressure constantly from Green Bay. So that

198
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 3: that is the part that was most concerning yesterday, Jake,

199
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: because you've got three key returning players, your two tackles,

200
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: and your center or your left guard, and then obviously

201
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 3: you got the new center and new right guard. So

202
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: if remember a couple of years ago, Jake, when the

203
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: Colts were having you know, problems in training camping in

204
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 3: preseason play that with the offensive line, We're like, oh,

205
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 3: it'll be fine, you know, it's just training camp and

206
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: stuff like it's a lot of you know, the same

207
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 3: key returning players. We expect them to play at the

208
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: level they did last year, and then it turned out

209
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: it took them almost half the year to get the

210
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: offensive line right, Like, is this another one of those.

211
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: You know, the the offensive line for the Colts typically,

212
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: and I know that every year is different and we

213
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: can't go on. When you look at line play, it's

214
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: totally ridiculous to say, well, five years ago there were

215
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: this right, But there have been and it really is interesting.

216
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: There have been times where the Colts have put out

217
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, maybe not their five best linemen,

218
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: but it's five guys. I think offensive line is such

219
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: a fascinating dynamic in football because yes, your ultimate goal

220
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: is to put out the five best players you want

221
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: your I mean, obviously, they have a left guard that

222
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: is amongst the best in the league. They have a

223
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: center that is going to be hopefully there for a

224
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: long time, but as young. They have a left tackle

225
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: that they hit on and is a solid player. And

226
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: then the right side of the line. You know, you

227
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: have the return now of Braden Smith, which is good

228
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: and he has been a solid player for them, but

229
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: missed a lot of time a year ago, but you

230
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: have stability there. But I think offensive line play is

231
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: as much about continuity as it is about overall talent individually,

232
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: that it is the one area in football that the

233
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: overall sum needs to be greater than the individual parts.

234
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: And it is possible. I'm not saying that it's not

235
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: what you would go with, but it is possible to

236
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: have two players that may be individually superior to another two.

237
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: But if they don't work in unison with one another,

238
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: in understanding movement of one another, then it doesn't work

239
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: as well. And I know that that sounds ridiculous, but

240
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, are you ready for the bad analogy sounder Eddie?

241
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm always ready, Jake. Okay, have you ever seen Now

242
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: they're not Venetian blinds, but if you ever, like in

243
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: a hotel room notably, had the kind of blind that

244
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: are actually made of like the six individual slats, Yes,

245
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: and when you do the little chain to move them

246
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: back and forth, there's always one that starts swinging faster

247
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: than the others. What you want in an offensive line

248
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: is that sort of the blinds that when you pull

249
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: the chain and it has to move left to right,

250
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: that each individual blind is moving at the exact same

251
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: rate and they're not sliding all over the place and

252
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: bumping into each other. That's how an offensive line needs

253
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: to work. And the Colts have had in the past

254
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: offensive lines that we've all you guys all know what

255
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, in like week twelve or thirteen, when

256
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: the Colts have struggled and then all of a sudden,

257
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: you have a game where it's like, man, their line

258
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: is just dominating because all of a sudden, they are

259
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: all moving in cohesion with one another. And if you

260
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: talk to Anthony Castonzo, if you talk to Bernard Ryman,

261
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: if you talk to Quentin Nelson, if you talk to

262
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday, talk to Tennrible Bordelini, whoever it might be

263
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: past or present, one of the things they will tell

264
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: you at the offensive line position is the importance in

265
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: the understanding of the movement of the person next to you,

266
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: so that everything is moving in step. And I think

267
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: this particular line eventually is going to have that. But

268
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: when you if you interchange pieces, and that's the attrition

269
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: on the offensive line is when you get guys that

270
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: are going in you can plug in. When a Braiden

271
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: Smith is out somebody else in at that position, and

272
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: that player may be just as good a player as

273
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: Braiden Smith, but if the rest of the line is

274
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: not as used to the movement of that player, then

275
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: things break down. And I don't know what the situation

276
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: was yesterday that allowed that sieve, but they struggled yesterday.

277
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's just a matter of repetition of the

278
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: line of the same faces for the year. So once

279
00:16:54,400 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: they have determined, you know, I think Bordolini one that

280
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: center spot, Penter pushed him a little bit there in

281
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: the beginning and that seems to have fallen off a

282
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: little bit. Once they get a consistent repetition of those

283
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: five guys, I think they'll be okay. But the other

284
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: thing that would be difficult for this particular line, or

285
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: a challenge, I should say. One of the things that's

286
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: going to be a challenge for this offensive line for

287
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: the Colts is the fact that when you do have

288
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks that can run the football, and they have

289
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: to for that matter, they have three of them that

290
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: can run the football, but the two that are battling

291
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: for the starting spot, one of the things that both

292
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: have in common is their ability to move the football

293
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: with their legs. Now, in the case of Daniel Jones,

294
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: I think usually it is more a designed play. And

295
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: in the case of Richardson, one of the things about

296
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson that you like that makes him dangerous is

297
00:17:54,600 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: his ability to add lib play by bailing on a

298
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: pass option and taken off and he can absolutely get

299
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: yardage with his legs in that capacity. But the understanding

300
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: of when those guys are gonna do that on non

301
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 1: designed run plays, I think is something that again is

302
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: going to create for a longer acclimation period for this

303
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: line to just feel in Unison, and they really don't

304
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: know the feel at times of what it is that

305
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: they that's expected from them play to play until they

306
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: know for certain who the quarterback is going to be.

307
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: It's going to be Richardson. But until that is one

308
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: guy is getting the majority of those snaps. That's where

309
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: that cohesiveness comes into play. But it was not a

310
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: good day yesterday throwing the football for either one of

311
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: those guys.

312
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 4: And.

313
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: You're just waiting. I had a long conversation last night

314
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: with somebody who's been covering the Colts, and one of

315
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: the things we talked about was you just want, will

316
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: the real quarterback please stand up? And until that happens,

317
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: it's Anthony Richardson's job. And because Daniel Jones to this point,

318
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: and he's had plenty of opportunity, Jones has had plenty

319
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: of opportunity to reach out and strangle hold that position,

320
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: and he has not yet done it. And that's why

321
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: you go with then the incumbent, and you go with

322
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: Richardson in that situation, we have fantasy football. Speaking of

323
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: all of this, Eddie, if you had the number one

324
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: pick in a fantasy draft right now, who you take

325
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: and Chamorrow Chase?

326
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 3: I mean you didn't even hesitate there? No, Okay or

327
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: Bjon Robinson, one of those two. So you're just going

328
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: with what the magazines say. No, No, I just think

329
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 3: the I mean Cincinnati didn't improve their defense. They're gonna

330
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 3: be playing from behind a lot. And you don't pay

331
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase forty million dollars, You don't pay Te Haggings

332
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: a lot of money. You don't pay Joe Burrow a

333
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 3: lot of money to hand the ball off the Chase Brown.

334
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: I mean you're gonna throw the ball a ton fair enough.

335
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: So now we should make a rule if we're doing

336
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: this Quarry and Company Fantasy Football League. Okay, our listeners Okay,

337
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: and you and I are I almost feel like, excuse me?

338
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: Do I need to be I guess I do I

339
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: need to be in the league? Or should we just

340
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: let the listeners be in the league and you can

341
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: be in it?

342
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 4: No?

343
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: No, we got to be in it, both of us

344
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: because we need to. We need to make sure that

345
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: you and I are the last two picks in round

346
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: number one.

347
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: Right, I mean it's all randomized. If I get I

348
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 3: mean is randomized a word? I think it's just random? Right,

349
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 3: you don't need the iemize. I think it's just random.

350
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 3: Randomized a word.

351
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: I think it's just random. You just say it's just

352
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: random random and randomized seems is randomized?

353
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: Though?

354
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: Is that the act of making it random? Is that?

355
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: What that means? Is randomized? A? Is that an adverb.

356
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: Meaning the process of selecting, as signing, or arranging items

357
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: in a random random a manner?

358
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: Okay, So, but again, if you and I end up

359
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: with the number one and two pick, who in the

360
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: hell wants to be in that league? Well, I mean,

361
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: wouldn't be my fault, it'd be the computer's fault. But

362
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: the computer is going to be done by I think

363
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: personally that we should be the last two picks in

364
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: the round. But what we know is this, even if

365
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: Adie think about this, if you and I are the

366
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: last two picks in the round of our Quarrying Company

367
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football League draft, that's fine because the whoever's picking

368
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: number one or number two, they're gonna think that they

369
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: have the advantage because they can get Jamar Chase or

370
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: Robinson or whoever. Yeah, we are going to have the

371
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: advantage because it's going to be taking place at Chicago's

372
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: Pizza and that means longer and more time to eat

373
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: pizza for you and I while we wait for the pick.

374
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 5: Right.

375
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 3: Also, Jake, I mean we're hooking these people up, assuming

376
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: with some free from with some free za, so like

377
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 3: we should get we should be rewarded with the first

378
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 3: and second pick in my opinion, Yeah, I mean, like

379
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 3: I'll buy a pizza for this and they get me

380
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 3: in our presence. Come on, now, don't short don't shorten that,

381
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 3: Like they need to be in the presence of us. Okay,

382
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 3: mainly me, but you're there too.

383
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: Do you have big plans for the weekend?

384
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 3: Let's see I've got the Fever game on Saturday or

385
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: on Sunday, and then I've got some plans tomorrow. You

386
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 3: had to go up to Fort Wayne for a little bit.

387
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 3: You have to go to Fort Wayne? You said, yeah,

388
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 3: I have to go to Fort Wayne. I don't get

389
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 3: to go to Fort Wayne. I have to go to

390
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 3: for Are you going to Fort Wayne for? Did you say, mm,

391
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 3: there's a birthday celebration. Okay, hey, Jake, you're missing the

392
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 3: larger point. The Colts are still quarterbacked by Anthony Richardson.

393
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 3: You could have the nineteen nineties Dallas Cowboys offensive line

394
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 3: in front of him, but forty eight percent completion won't

395
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: do him squat. He's a running back stop at. Yeah,

396
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: that's I don't know that I said anything that would

397
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: counter that point. Right, Hey, Jake, how do we get

398
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 3: into your league? Have you filled all the spots at

399
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 3: the radio station Fantasy League?

400
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: I may have missed it. I would love to play

401
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: if so. Eddie Garrison, you are the producer of this program. Yep,

402
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: you are essentially the man behind the curtain. Pay no

403
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: attention to that man behind the curtain except for when

404
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: we say so, which we're doing so right now. You

405
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: are in charge of the fantasy football league, the Quarian

406
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: Company Fantasy Football League. You are in charge of determining

407
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: who's in the league when the draft takes place. Although

408
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: we have that date in place, Monday's Pizza, Monday, August

409
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, right at seven o'clock correct in the Greenwood

410
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: location of Chicago's pez in the That is correct in

411
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: the little conference room that they have there. Now, what

412
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: I need to know is how you are putting said

413
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: league together.

414
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 3: So we have nine people that will have to select, right,

415
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 3: nine listeners of the program. Okay, we'll probably do you know,

416
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 3: to show your level of dedication, Jake. We're not just

Speaker 3: in on a Wednesday and you were like, hey, I

420
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: went in. No, no, no, we got we got to

421
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 3: dedicate these spots to the loyalist nine.

422
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: This is more than that, right. The problem with a

423
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: big fantasy football league is then all of a sudden,

424
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: it's like you have people that are by choice are

425
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: having to start you know what I mean.

426
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: We're nine people's enough. I feel bad for the morning

427
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 3: people who try to create their league. If they're doing

428
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 3: twelve total, they got four people, only eight spots for listeners,

429
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 3: so you got a better chance to join ours or

430
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 3: Jav's wait bitte.

431
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: So we need more than nine because it's we're doing

432
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: it's an even number, right, and we do on a

433
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: twelve person weak Yeah, twelve people in total, nine listeners.

434
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 3: It'll be you, me and I forget the gentleman's name

435
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 3: from Chicago's Pizza, that'll be in the league.

436
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, okay, yeah, Nate, yeah, fair fair.

437
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 3: So we'll do some show trivia to show how much

438
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 3: you are you are a loyal listener. Okay, Now these

439
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 3: are not going to be like, hey, what did we

440
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: discuss on the show like last Wednesday at three two thirty.

441
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: No, that's not gonna be any of that. It's gonna

442
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: be just some basic stuff.

443
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 3: Do you like my shirt? Somebody did text three one, seven, nine,

444
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 3: ten seventy he said they like the shirt.

445
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: They do like the shirt? Somebody did text it again.

446
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: If you go to a rock concert, you can't wear

447
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: the shirt the next day. That's totally lame, unless you're

448
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 1: in England, apparently, because everybody does it day of concert.

449
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: But this is my White Sox shirt. I there is

450
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: a reason I have this shirt because it harp. It

451
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: took me back to something that I can't wear anymore

452
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: because it would be totally lame if I wore it.

453
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: But for my freshman year of college, I still have

454
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: and still fit into mind you, because I had the

455
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: freshman twenty five, not because I'm the you know, I'm

456
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: thinned out. But I had a my fraternity football jersey

457
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: and I still have it, and it was the exact

458
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: same colors and the exact same stitch lettering as this

459
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: white Sox shirt. And so when I was at the

460
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: Sox game the other day, I bought it, and I'm like,

461
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: I waited the one day period so it didn't look

462
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: totally lame that I was wearing it the day after

463
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: buying it. So I'm buying it. I'm wearing it today

464
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: on a Friday. But we do have fantasy football spots

465
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: to fill in. We will do that today. I realize

466
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: that's probably only exciting for the nine people that are

467
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: going to get into the league. That's the one drawback

468
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: of that. But punny to talk about Tony E's gonna

469
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,239
Speaker 1: join us thirty five minutes from now, just under that

470
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, of talk Pacers Jeff rab

471
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: Johns in just about an hour. But when we come back,

472
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 1: Shane Steichen did say something pretty interesting yesterday after practice,

473
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: and we'll let you hear it next Colts and Packers

474
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: tomorrow at Lucas Oil Stateium. He probably heard him talking

475
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: about it this morning on the morning show. But there's

476
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: more than just the quarterbacking spot that's under construction for

477
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: Indianapolis for this game. Now, I'm going to read this

478
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: off to you right here. You ready, Okay? It says

479
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: fan traffic alert. Now does that mean for the radio

480
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: station or for fans going to the Colts game?

481
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: That's an excellent question. I would think we would be

482
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 3: talking about fans going to the Colts game. I don't

483
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 3: think they value us that much. Can you imagine if

484
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 3: this is a regular season game? I mean, and I

485
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 3: say that with the respect of the fact that I

486
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: understand people are there are still going to be a

487
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: lot of people going to the game. But it's not

488
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 3: like it's a typical Sunday game where you got people

489
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 3: tailgating forever and everything else. But there is there's a

490
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 3: ton of construction downtown. Okay, a ton I sixty five

491
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 3: North between four to sixty five on the south side,

492
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 3: and the I sixty five seventy interchange downtown is closed tomorrow,

493
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 3: so if you're coming from the south, then that's going

494
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 3: to not be an option. If you're coming from the south,

495
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 3: you can use the detour of I sixty five north

496
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 3: to four sixty five west and then come in on seventy. Okay,

497
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 3: so you can't take sixty five all the way up.

498
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 3: You got to hook it around and then come back

499
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 3: from the side. Basically is what I'm getting at there.

500
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 3: West Street will be reduced to one lane in each

501
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 3: direction between Eleventh and Morris starting tomorrow. So West Street

502
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 3: that's the one that goes down alongside like Victory Field

503
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 3: and the JW and all that. That's going to be

504
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 3: one lane, so keep that in mind. And Capitol Avenue

505
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 3: will be partially closed in the two easternmost lanes from

506
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: Maryland to South Street. Capital of course the one that

507
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 3: goes right by the Capitol. So if you.

508
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: Typically take Capital, or if you come from the south

509
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: on I sixty five, then put it in ways or

510
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: as always, listen to our very trustworthy traffic department over

511
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: on ninety three WIBC that gives you updates. Shane Steiken

512
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: yesterday did talk after practice and was asked notably about

513
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: the position. You know, clearly, what did you see from

514
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: your team? What do you like? But the quarterbacking position

515
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: absolutely was brought up into discussion. Here is Shane Stike,

516
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: and keep in mind listen closely here for what he

517
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: says at the end. Notably, Shane Steiken yesterday after the practice,

518
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: we'll work through that.

519
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 6: You know, we got obviously had today, We got a

520
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 6: preseason game. We got some practices next week and we'll

521
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 6: work through it again. I don't have exact timetable on it,

522
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 6: but sooner than later it would be nice.

523
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: Okay, again, this is him talking about figuring out who

524
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: his starting quarterback is going to be. Did you hear that?

525
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: What's did you hear it? Do any to play it

526
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: again for you?

527
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: Please?

528
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: If you could. We'll work through that.

529
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 6: You know, we got obviously today, we got a preseason game.

530
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 6: We got some practices next week, and we'll work through

531
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 6: it again. I don't have exact timetable on it, but

532
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 6: sooner than later it.

533
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: Would be nice. Are they they're down on West Street?

534
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: Is that right? Is it the sound of the construction

535
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: or is that the sound of them working through it

536
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: one more time if you could, or are they working

537
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: on the steps? We'll work through that.

538
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 6: You know, we got obviously had today, we got a

539
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 6: preseason game, we got some practices next week, and we'll

540
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 6: work through it again. I don't have exact timetable on it,

541
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 6: but sooner than later it would be nice.

542
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 3: I put my producer skills to test there. I had

543
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 3: to really bump up that.

544
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: Jack. One thing Eddy that we know. One thing that

545
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: we know is after they're working through all this, if

546
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: they work themselves up into a sweat or any sort

547
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: of a stink, they like to clean things up. We

548
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: do know that much, right, Yeah. I mean that's one

549
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: of the things that we'll hear afterwards, is we had

550
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: a lot to clean up. I mean, we've been working

551
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: on this, and we've been you know, we've been, Jackameron,

552
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: we're working on we got to clean things up. I

553
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: did notice at the end. Now play one more time

554
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: and listen to what he says at the very end. Okay,

555
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: play one more time.

556
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 6: Sooner than later it would be nice.

557
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I think this needs to go to the elixir

558
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: now for those that are new to the program. The

559
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: Elixir as an item I bought and I went ahead

560
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: and renewed for the twenty five season. The Elixir is

561
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: a fabulous piece of technology and equipment and we only

562
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: have a certain amount of times we can use it.

563
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: That is correct because I bought the limited package, but

564
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 1: it does have the possibility of extension. But what the

565
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: Elixir is is, this is a fabulous new piece of

566
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: equipment that we've had now for about a year and

567
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: a half. And we take a quote from a sports figure, coach, player,

568
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: or whatever, we run it through the Elixir and it

569
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: actually is like a truth serum interpreter and it tells

570
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: us what they really mean. So with that said, here's

571
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: how we do it. You'll hear the quote, you run

572
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: it through the Elixir, and then it tells us what

573
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,239
Speaker 1: exactly once it formulates the truth serum of what the

574
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: coach the player really means. So, Shane Steichen, your thoughts

575
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: on the quarterback situation and how close you are now

576
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: to figuring out who is going to be your starter

577
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: Week one against the Dolphins. We'll work through that.

578
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 6: You know, we got obviously had today, we got a

579
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 6: preseason game and we got some practices next week and

580
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 6: we'll work through it again. I don't have exact timetable

581
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 6: on it, but sooner than later it would be.

582
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: Nice ms to be taken over. Oh it took a while.

583
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: Here we go, okay, now the elixir has the response.

584
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 7: Here for crying out loud, I am as sick of

585
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 7: talking about this as you trust me. I am begging

586
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 7: one of these guys to separate themselves. Let's hope it

587
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 7: happens by yesterday.

588
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well there you go. Sounds like Shane might

589
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: be at his wits end. Also, right, did the electra

590
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: say let's or lettuce? Let's see?

591
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 3: I think the elixir went with lets. I didn't know

592
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 3: if the elixir had some of the elix or.

593
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: The elixir is the Now that's the British version, Okay,

594
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean we trust me, believe me when I tell

595
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: you this. I mean we have the Elixir can be

596
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: done Eddie in a number of different you know what

597
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean?

598
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 8: Oh?

599
00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, like for example, we would love for this competition

600
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: to just finish itself. Okay, speaking of Finnish, we have

601
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: it in that as well. Boy here ran yestas o

602
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: and I won us.

603
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 7: That's t quin Sina Kinta cover Arista.

604
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: Why are you I got? I got three free trial languages.

605
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: Now I know Swahili fluently and we can mix that

606
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: in as well. But I don't need the Elexa for that.

607
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: I didn't have to pay for the sway Heli option

608
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: because I could speak of myself. What was that?

609
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 9: He?

610
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: John Bocon what's that? What language was that? That was Finish? Oh?

611
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what the That's what the Fins speak. Where

612
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 3: are they speaking of the Fins? They played the Fins

613
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 3: in week number one?

614
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? Do they do? They speak Finnish? Is Tyreek just Finish?

615
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: Do they just squeak?

616
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 8: Oh?

617
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: They have that underwater squeaking language.

618
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 3: Fascinating. One other two languages? Did you pay for a

619
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: trail four? Any three? I mean again, here's the thing

620
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: with the Elixir. I think I'm the only person that

621
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 3: bought this particular mottle because they're sending me promotional stuff

622
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 3: all the time.

623
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: They're Chicago White Sox. Yes, that's right. It's like buying

624
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: tickets from the White Sox. I get emails now on

625
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: the daily. I keep trying to opt out of them.

626
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm unsubscribing to the Elixir emails, and they just keep

627
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: sending them. They are incredibly persistent. Are we going to

628
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: go ahead and sign up our first three for the

629
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: fantasy league that works for me? We can do that.

630
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: We will do it. On the other side at two three, nine,

631
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: ten seventy we have the fantasy league. We will be

632
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: doing our draft on the twenty fifth. If you are

633
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: not somebody that is interested in fantasy football, I understand.

634
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: If you're somebody who is not interested in signing up

635
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: for our league, I better understand you would still be

636
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: interested in the interaction and the camaraderie that comes with

637
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: the listeners of this program and the fun we have

638
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: in terms of the trivia that we will do show trivia.

639
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: This can get awkward because we know that not many

640
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: people listen to the show, and certainly those that do

641
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: oftentimes it's not even necessarily on their own will. But

642
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: if you listen to the show, you're familiar with it,

643
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: you want to get into our fantasy league, and we

644
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: will have I'm just gonna go ahead right now and

645
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: say our price for the fantasy league will include, if

646
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: you are the grand champion, some pizza from Chicago's that

647
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: goes without saying so there is reason to get involved,

648
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: but we would love for you to partake, and we'll

649
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: get you signed up if you can prove that you

650
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 1: are in fact loyal to this program, we'll do it all.

651
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 2: Next what.

652
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: Telling you, Eddie? Perfect timing by you, Because every time

653
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: I hear the song, I think about my little league

654
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: celebratory end of year when I played for the Giants

655
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty three. Warren Fields our coach, and we

656
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: dominated the league, and at our post season party, we

657
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: played this song like fifteen straight times, and then I

658
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: think about like the best part of you know, and

659
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: talking to Ron from Scott's Samples, and one of the

660
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: best things we do is when we have kid little

661
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: league parties and birthday parties at Chicago's Pizza and that's

662
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: where we're going to have our fantasy draft. We were

663
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: talking about the fact that, you know, I mentioned the

664
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: elixir with the has the translator sounds yeah, and you

665
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: mentioned dolphins because it somebody did mention this to me. Hey, Jake,

666
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: I have a friend that actually translates dolphins for a living.

667
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: What what so one did that one say? Well, he

668
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: doesn't make a lot of money, but he ekes out

669
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: away peeks out a living baby. All right, so we

670
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: have callers lined up. I'm sure that are thrilled to

671
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: be doing so in order to partake in the Query

672
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 1: and Company fans. What are we calling the league itself?

673
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 3: We'll just call it the Query and Company Fantasy League. Okay,

674
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 3: very simple. It should just be the Company Fantasy League.

675
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 5: Right.

676
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: I guess I'm in it technically, but and so the

677
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: name Querry and then you know the ant. But but

678
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: it's just a company. I mean, it's our showy company, right, yeah, right,

679
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: all right? Who do we have lined up? Addie? We'll

680
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: go with Jim. Jim. How are you good, Jake?

681
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 5: How's it going about?

682
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: Have we talked before? Jim? You sound like a nice fellow.

683
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've called in the show before.

684
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and are you work? What's that I said?

685
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 5: It's a great show.

686
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: Well, now, Jim, you don't have to butter us up

687
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: just yet, although I'll tell you the butter on the

688
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: Red Sticks is fabulous at Chicago's just out of curiosity, Jim,

689
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: how long have you been listening to this program? And

690
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 1: for what reason do you subject yourself to that punishment

691
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: each day?

692
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 9: Well?

693
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 10: I've been listening, even going back to your predecessor double

694
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 10: d right, and a real good friend of mine was

695
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 10: the producer on that show, producer Kyle.

696
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 9: He's a really good friend of mine.

697
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: Oh, Kyle's a great dude. I just saw Kyle like

698
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: a week and a half ago. It's always good to

699
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: see him.

700
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw him too.

701
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 8: He bombarded my backyard and he had too much to drink.

702
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: So okay, he bombarded your backyard when he had too

703
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: much to drink. Do you live near Kyle or does

704
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: your house look like Kyle's. I think we need a

705
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: little more information there.

706
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 10: Well, a really good friend of his lives a few

707
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 10: doors down, and they were drinking and driving on their

708
00:36:58,719 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 10: golf cart.

709
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: And now now nobody that was drinking was driving the

710
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: golf cart. Fortunately we do know that. But the three

711
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: doors down is where they live as a matter of fact,

712
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: So you know, perhaps just the drinking was the crypto thinking. Okay, Jim,

713
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: here we go. We're gonna do show trivia Eddie. I

714
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: will let you go with question number one. You must

715
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: get the question correct, Jim, in order to get admitted

716
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: into the league, to show that you listen to the program.

717
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 3: So Jake missed the show on Wednesday. That's why Greg

718
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 3: Raystraw was filling in. Now do you know why Jake

719
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 3: missed the show on Wednesday? I will give you a

720
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 3: hint if you need the hint.

721
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, I'll take the hint.

722
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: Okay.

723
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 3: So, Jake and Shannon do this trip every year. I

724
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 3: don't know how many years they've been doing this. They

725
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 3: go somewhere, and that is why Jake missed the game.

726
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: Well, you know, this is a guess.

727
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 10: I wasn't able to listen on Wednesday, unfortunately, but I'm

728
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 10: gonna guess because I know Jake is a big White

729
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 10: Sox fan like myself, So I'm gonna guess he was

730
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 10: at the White Sox.

731
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: Guy, I'm out. Here's the thing, And you are correct.

732
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: It's not that I'm a huge White Sox fan. They're

733
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: they're you know, I'm fine with them.

734
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 9: I grew up to be a White Sox fan leader.

735
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: Call some Montgomery's about the only time they got going

736
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: for him. I went. I grew up a Reds fan.

737
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: But I think, Jim, do you ever go to White

738
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: Sox games?

739
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 2: Uh?

740
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I like it when they play.

741
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 4: We go every year when they play the cups up

742
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 4: at Wrigley.

743
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: Okay, that'd be cool. Yeah, I'll tell you I think.

744
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: I think it's a cool stadium. It's it's kind of

745
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: like Victory Field. It's easy to walk around. They got

746
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 1: an easy concourse. It's easy in and out. So that's

747
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: why we go every year to a Businessman Special and

748
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,479
Speaker 1: we go to one of the afternoon games. But Jim,

749
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: you are locked in. I appreciate you listening to the program.

750
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: Eddie will get all your information, so we'll put you

751
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 1: on hold. Who is next, Eddie? We will go with Brian. Hi, Brian,

00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 8: Ninety days? Oh that was four years ago.

776
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: Well that's along ninety days?

777
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

778
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, Well, and no further questions, as they say, right, okay.

779
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: Brian, here we go. I'm going to give you a

780
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: question now to see how often do you listen to

781
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: this program with any regularity?

782
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

783
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 1: I mean you know, what else are you doing? Right?

784
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: Uh?

785
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: Okay? So here we go, Brian. What flavor gummies does

786
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: Eddie seem to enjoy when he comes back from the

787
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest. There's a particular flavor that Eddie one day

788
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: was eating with regularity, and it has been referenced numerous

789
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: times on the show. Do you know what flavor it was?

790
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 8: I do not.

791
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll give you I'm gonna give you one more

792
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: you ready, yeah? Occasionally on this program. As a matter

793
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: of fact, I feel a slight breeze, Eddie, do you

794
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: feel a breeze going by any chance? I think I

795
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: do as well. I feel a slight breeze. That's because

796
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: we have occasionally a visitor on this program. Oh yes,

797
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: it's our friend Robin. Oh, I just gave it up. Okay,

798
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: Robin the Genie comes on this program. Now my question

799
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: for you, Brian, is this that is correct?

800
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 3: Usually when I come in I offered people he question

801
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 3: with a financial prize. What is the financial prize that

802
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 3: Robin the Genie has yet to pay off? But cannsistently promises.

803
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 8: Oh, I'm terrible.

804
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 9: I don't know, Brian.

805
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: Are you looking for another ninety days? You have a guess, Brian,

806
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: here's the last one, Brian. If you don't get this one, Brian,

807
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: it's a four year sentence. So you're ready, although we

808
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: want you to listen every single that if you don't

809
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: get this one, correct you ready?

810
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 8: Yeah?

811
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: What is the name of my girlfriend?

812
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 8: Yes?

813
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 5: All right?

814
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: All right, we just said it. While you're on hold, Brian,

815
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: I should hope. All right, Brian, we lock you in

816
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: and see. That's how basically what we're doing is we're

817
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: giving these spots away. Okay, who's last, Who's last? Well,

818
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,439
Speaker 1: I'm saying we're doing three of them. Who's the third?

819
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: Would you like to go with Jeffer Tony? Hey, Tonay,

820
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 1: We'll go with Tony. Hey, Tony, Hey, guys.

821
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 11: How's it going, Tony?

822
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: We're doing well? How are you?

823
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 8: Ah?

824
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 11: Another Dame pard Eyes just out working today, Tony.

825
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you, and we love him

826
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: by all means, but just out of curiosity, if today

827
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: was it that just seems to be stuck in the

828
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: doldrooms for you, At any point in the last five minutes,

829
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: did you think to yourself, at least I'm not Brian.

830
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 11: No, nomm I just thought at least I'm.

831
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 1: Not outside and right now, Well, that's true. But I'm

832
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: just saying because Brian missed the two questions in a row. Okay, yeah, Tony,

833
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: here's your question. If you get this one, this isn't

834
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: even show related.

835
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 3: Wait, should we offer him the ability to answer the

836
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 3: previous two questions that Brian missed?

837
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: Not bad? Do you know either of those two answers? Tony?

838
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 11: Well, being as there's a lot of alcohol in these beds,

839
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 11: I'm thinking that it's a six pack of some kind

840
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 11: of beer that we can't get here in Indiana.

841
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: For Robin the genie is that the one you're referring to?

842
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 11: Yeah?

843
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: Sorry, no it's not the correct answer. Do you know that?

844
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: Do you know Eddie's favorite flavor of gummies?

845
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 5: Uh?

846
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 11: No, not off the top of my head. Now I've

847
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 11: heard it before, but a lot of things go.

848
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 2: In and out.

849
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: Understood. Definitely understood, and Brian did redeem himself, So don't

850
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: get me wrong by knowing the Shannon answer. But okay, Tony,

851
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: what about this one? When I first brought you on?

852
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: How old a fella are you? Tony thirty nine? Okay,

853
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: this might be. I think this is still kind of

854
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: within your wheelhouse. When I first brought you on and

855
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: I said the name Tony, I immediately did an impersonation

856
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: from a television show where I went, hey, Tony, and

857
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: then pretend that I'm flipping up my collar and walking

858
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: and I say that Tony is a membo? What television

859
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: show am I referencing? Ooh, not bad because of the

860
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: flip collar. Good guess? Actually, that Seinfeld when Jerry was

861
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: making fun of Tony played by Dan Cortez, that Elaine

862
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: and both Elaine and George were in love with Okay,

863
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you one. Okay, Tony, here we go.

864
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: Here's the question for you.

865
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 2: Tony.

866
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: You ready, I'm giving away this entry with this, but

867
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm taking the risk here because if you missed this

868
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna be like, Okay, Clearly, no one listens

869
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: to this program.

870
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

871
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: I have not stopped talking about the concert that I

872
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: went to a month ago where I saw the same band.

873
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm back to back nights in England. What band was it?

874
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 4: Oh?

875
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: Good golly, Tony. You don't really listen to this show,

876
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: do you?

877
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 2: I do.

878
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,240
Speaker 11: I do listen to it every day, but it's definitely

879
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 11: hard to keep track of some of the stuff that

880
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 11: I hear between the three shows.

881
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: I know. And you know what, that is a very

882
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: very fair point. That's a very fair point. Name one

883
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: of the three guys that does the show in the

884
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: morning between seven and ten am on this radio station.

885
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 11: You got Jeff Rickers, you got Kevin Bowen, James Boy

886
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 11: and Mark knighton.

887
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: All right, Tony, you redeem yourself. That was the perfect,

888
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: perfect way out of that by saying that you get

889
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: them all confused because you are loyal to the station,

890
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: and it is very much appreciated. Tony, Brian, Jim, all

891
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: of you. We appreciate all of you listening to the show,

892
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: and we certainly look forward to meeting all of you

893
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: at Chicago's Pizza coming up on August the twenty fifth

894
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: at seven pm. Four hour draft up. Next, the guy

895
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: that I ran into yesterday. Speaking of meeting, It's been

896
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: a long time as I've seen him in person, but

897
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: I ran into him yesterday. Tony East joined us next

898
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: every year. Again, if people listen to this show, they

899
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 1: know that I'm a very odd tradition person, really you odd.

900
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: And one of the traditions every year is we do

901
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: the State Fair and we do the same loop, just

902
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: kind of walk the loop. One of the I'll tell

903
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 1: you one of the real thrills and this is such

904
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: an underrated, underappreciated aspect of fun and hilarity in this city.

905
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 3: I know exactly where you're going because I think I

906
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 3: saw Shannon post this on social media.

907
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm telling you there's a ride called the Blizzard, and

908
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: it's the one that like it goes around in a

909
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: but it kind of comes down a hill like as

910
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: you as you're exiting turn three you kind of go

911
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: down like a little hill and the force of it.

912
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 1: Everybody's laughing while they're on the ride because it's obviously

913
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: a very fun ride.

914
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 3: Or kind of like if you're going down County Line

915
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 3: to get to Chicago's off of thirty one in Greenwood.

916
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: That's right Ondig Hill Fantasy Draft. But when you when

917
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: it comes around that corner on the ride, everybody is

918
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: trying to like look cool, but it's just impossible to

919
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: look cool because you're getting whipped all over the place

920
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: and the look on people's face. And every year when

921
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: we do the loop, we stop at that ride and

922
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: watch like two rounds of it and it is double

923
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: over laughter and watch in people watching. It's the best

924
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: people watching. And I mean the people that are on

925
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: the ride are laughing too. It's not, you know, kind

926
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: of laughing with them, but it is. It is the best.

927
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: So we did that, and then we walked through the

928
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: little cover bridge and we go on the backside of

929
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: the fairgrounds and that is where I'm walking along and

930
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: I did like a double take. I probably looked are struck.

931
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: I think I did look starstruck. And it took me

932
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: a second because I haven't I don't see this person often,

933
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 1: but I obviously know what they look like and I've

934
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: met them before. And it was Tony East, who interestingly enough,

935
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: was walking west when I saw him at the fair grounds,

936
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: and so we stopped. We chatt him for a few minutes.

937
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: He just got back from a vacation and he joins

938
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: us now and I'm sure thrilled to be doing so

939
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: on the always busy and available once again to be

940
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: sponsored guest line Tony East with Forbes locked on Pacers

941
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: a number of different outlets talking Pacers and fever Tony.

942
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: How was the fair It was wonderful.

943
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 12: Our loop is mostly like we pick like four food

944
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,240
Speaker 12: items we want and then the little the little baby

945
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 12: pigs are in our loop and that's and we got

946
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 12: to all of it except the egg girls we wanted

947
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 12: to try or sold out, which was a bummer.

948
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we went, Funny you mentioned food, we went.

949
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: We always start at the beer thing, right, We get

950
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: up beer and we walk around and so we sat

951
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: down for a second just to kind of soak everything in.

952
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: And there were two girls sitting at the table sharing

953
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 1: the picnic table with us, and they had just gotten

954
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: one of the egg rolls. That paghetti in it, and

955
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: they were raving over Is that the one that you're after?

956
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,399
Speaker 12: No, we had that last year. It's it's pretty good.

957
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 12: It's like a surprising combination of foods. But no, there's

958
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 12: a new one this year. I can't remember exactly.

959
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 9: What's in it. It sounded awesome, but we weren't able

960
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 9: to get it.

961
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: So what are the other food.

962
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 9: The third place?

963
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: What's ad It got.

964
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 9: Third place and it tastes the fair The egg girls.

965
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: Did really, Okay, that's impressive. What what is the So

966
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: you said there are four that you go with? What

967
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:38,439
Speaker 1: are the four?

968
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 9: Well, no, we try to do the new stuff and

969
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 9: we screwed.

970
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 12: So the indie stars they're like, here's what's coming to

971
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 12: the ferry this year, this new thing.

972
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 9: We read it and we screach.

973
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 12: Ot stuff we wanted to try, so like the cookie

974
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 12: butter cinnamon toast, crutch printsil, the the honey cheese French fries.

975
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 9: I can't remember everything. I deleted all the pictures as

976
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 9: we tried them, the egg roll, all the new cold brew,

977
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 9: and it was a lot. It was a good time.

978
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 9: I'm still fooled right now.

979
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: It was pretty fun though, right and and you guys

980
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: just got back from a trip. We talked about that

981
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: as well. But if you don't mind me sharing the

982
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: are we okay to share your trip? And I thought

983
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 1: this was interesting and we'll get to both pacers and

984
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: fever here in a second. But you went to Paris, Barcelona,

985
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: and Rome. Now I have been to two of those three,

986
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: fortunate enough to say that, I realize I love Barcelona

987
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: and Paris is obviously Paris it's hard to beat. But

988
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: you said you thought Rome might have been the best

989
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:37,800
Speaker 1: of the three. Did I hear that correctly?

990
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:38,919
Speaker 8: Yeah?

991
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 9: My wife definitely liked Rome the best.

992
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 12: And for me, I don't know, man, They're all awesome.

993
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 12: Paris and Rome are the two that I keep telling people.

994
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 9: Were my favorites.

995
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 12: But that makes it sound like Barcelona wasn't fun and

996
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 12: it was obviously spectacular, but yeah, Rome is just incredible.

997
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 12: I does if I went to the Vatican? Do I

998
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 12: tell people I went to four countries? How would you

999
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 12: handle this?

1000
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 2: Nah?

1001
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,240
Speaker 1: Theva I mean, I realized, but no, it's three.

1002
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:00,919
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1003
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 12: I haven't been telling people that, but that's like the

1004
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 12: first thing they do when you get in there, like

1005
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 12: this is a different country.

1006
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 9: I'm like okay, whatever now.

1007
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, when you were in Rome, if you want

1008
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: to eat spaghetti over there, because it's Italian food, it

1009
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 1: comes in an egg roll, right interestingly, and they're not

1010
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: sold it does.

1011
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, okay, but they have like their big four pastas,

1012
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 12: they do not often advertise spaghetti.

1013
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: When I was over there, I will admit to you

1014
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: I ate Margarita pizza every single day for like a

1015
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: week straight. I'm a very very finicky eater. But nonetheless, okay, Tony,

1016
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,280
Speaker 1: let's get to this before we get to the Pacers

1017
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: schedule with the fever in action tonight seven thirty tip

1018
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: for the fever seven to fifteen pre game. You can

1019
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: hear with Eddie Garrison and the big question now, and

1020
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure you get it a lot. I get it

1021
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: everywhere that I go, but I will now pawn it

1022
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: off to you. Do we have any better indication on

1023
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: the status, the availability, the return date for Caitlin Clark?

1024
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 12: No official anything, right, And I think that's what they

1025
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 12: hope to the grace of when they announced her is

1026
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 12: out last time with to be announced update of you know,

1027
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 12: determination of timing. I'll say this, it's kind of been

1028
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 12: an interesting week. I would say now eight days because

1029
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 12: that Phoenix game was last Thursday of what I would consider.

1030
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,439
Speaker 9: Like timeline changers. Right, they were on a five game

1031
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 9: win streak out West. Things were looking good. They're climbing

1032
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 9: the playoffs seating.

1033
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 12: Last week and in that moment, I'm thinking, man, this

1034
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 12: is great, like for them. They can really make her

1035
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 12: take her time after you know, the last two injuries

1036
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 12: and getting hurt again, and they'll they'll still comfortably make

1037
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 12: the playoff field, have a first run matchup, they can win,

1038
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 12: no problem.

1039
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 9: And then they lose both of their.

1040
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 12: Point guards like two days later for the rest of

1041
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 12: the season, so they have no point guards, and all

1042
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 12: of a sudden, it's like.

1043
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 9: They're they're losing to Dallas.

1044
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 12: They got thumped by Phoenix like the Austin Sparks, and

1045
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 12: all of a sudden, it's like, man, today, need her

1046
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 12: back sooner.

1047
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 9: To keep winning. I mean, the playoff field is tight.

1048
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 12: They're like equally close to like the two seed and

1049
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 12: out of.

1050
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 9: The postseason field. Last time I checked, that was a

1051
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,760
Speaker 9: couple of days ago. You know, it's been really interesting

1052
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 9: to see how these dynamics push and pull. She still

1053
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 9: hasn't done five on five yet I wonder what next

1054
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 9: week will be, not.

1055
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 12: Because I have any like intel that it's an important

1056
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 12: week or anything they're targeting, but just because after they

1057
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 12: play Sunday in Connecticut at one o'clock, so they'll probably

1058
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 12: be home Sunday night, they don't play again until Friday,

1059
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 12: so that's four days off in a row. That's a

1060
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 12: good opportunity to, in theory, ramp a player up where

1061
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 12: you could have her do a day at three on three,

1062
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 12: a day on five on five test of conditioning, and

1063
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 12: then have her play against Minnesota after that. But I

1064
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 12: obviously don't know if she's ready for that. It has

1065
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 12: been you know, almost five six weeks I believe by then,

1066
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 12: since the the most recent injuries, so that would at

1067
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 12: least lead to what growing injury histories have been. But

1068
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 12: I'm purely speculating. When I say those things, it just

1069
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 12: seems so natural to me.

1070
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:54,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to go other side here, Okay, contrarian thought,

1071
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: and then you tell me that it's I like those right, okay,

1072
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: because of the fact that not and I'm not saying

1073
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 1: Kaitlin Clark's not a critically important player for the Fever,

1074
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: don't misunderstand what I'm saying here. But because of the

1075
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 1: other injuries and the challenge that that may create in

1076
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: terms of the fever trajectory for the season or the

1077
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: realities that it may force them to face, does that

1078
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: soften the timeline and lessen l E s s n

1079
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: lessen the necessity for Kaitlyn Clark's return because they're realistic

1080
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: about their their lot now and therefore they can take

1081
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: things a little slower and more organic.

1082
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 9: That is possible. I mean, here's a tricky part of

1083
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 9: that is like the Liberty.

1084
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 12: Are playing bad right now and they've beaten everybody, and

1085
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 12: so maybe the Links when Fee returns and they play

1086
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 12: the Links three more times this season, like just looks

1087
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 12: so good that, you know.

1088
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 9: Whatever, you go really cautious the rest of the way.

1089
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 12: But like they put their foot on the gas in

1090
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 12: the off season, like Kaitlin talked about championship expectations, like

1091
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,280
Speaker 12: they've every single team.

1092
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 9: I feel like they feel like they can do something

1093
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 9: in this.

1094
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 12: Postseason, even with the weird season that they've had, and

1095
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 12: I mean something like I wouldn't be shocked if internally

1096
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 12: they felt like they could win two rounds and be

1097
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 12: in the finals, right, So why not if you're going

1098
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 12: to do that, you'd want Caitlin back with enough time

1099
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 12: to rebuild chemistry with her teammates. Like there's a chance

1100
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,879
Speaker 12: that multiple of her teammates you'll have barely are never

1101
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 12: played with upon return. Bibby and whatever our chip player

1102
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 12: they have for sure, so there is an element of

1103
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,879
Speaker 12: that with whatever. However much times left, like they're getting

1104
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 12: close to ten games left, so I totally understand where

1105
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,399
Speaker 12: you're coming from. The standings are so jumbled and they've

1106
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 12: literally beaten every single team. It's almost like the Pacers

1107
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 12: two years ago, where it was like they can beat

1108
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 12: anybody or lose anybody, and that paid off in a

1109
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 12: conference finals run for that Pacers team. Right, So I

1110
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 12: do understand what you're saying, but I wonder if they

1111
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 12: would see.

1112
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: It the other way almost, Tony, do you? Tony East

1113
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 1: is our guest? How would you critique the overall coaching

1114
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: job so far from Stephanie White? And by that I

1115
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: mean she has been in position the franchise has to

1116
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: kind of have to make alteration or adjustment of approach.

1117
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: But have they have they managed to massage the way

1118
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,439
Speaker 1: they're doing things based on the players available or are

1119
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: they asking the players available to massage to the way

1120
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: that they want it done.

1121
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 9: Dude, it's like impossible to grade her.

1122
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 12: I don't even mean that it's like a cop out

1123
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 12: to your question, but just like, have they had the

1124
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 12: same group of players more than three games in a

1125
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 12: row the whole season? I mean, it's been okay, so

1126
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 12: becunning answer. Okay, Kaylen Sert, Okay, Kelsey Mitchell has a

1127
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 12: finger injury. Okay, Dowana Bonner's gone. Okay, Eron McDonald's arres,

1128
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 12: she's gone Aeron McDonald's back. Oh, Chloe baby sear she's gone,

1129
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,879
Speaker 12: Kaylen Sert again, the two of the players. Now, it's

1130
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 12: like it's impossible to get any sort of flow because

1131
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 12: so much of it, like I just said, they've been

1132
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 12: beating good teams and losing the bad teams, like so

1133
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 12: much about consider A problem for the fever is consistency.

1134
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 12: And you can point to the coach and said, to

1135
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 12: your job to make the team as consistent as possible.

1136
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 12: And I'm like receptive to someone's saying that, certainly, But

1137
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 12: how can she like she can't build her rotation every game?

1138
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 12: People are there's a new lineup every night, like the.

1139
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 9: Last game they played.

1140
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 12: Honestly, since she doesn't even all the plays she's the

1141
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 12: point guard, she's not supposting all the plays. She's been

1142
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 12: on the team for two days, like that her first

1143
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 12: two possessions of the game, they were in the same

1144
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 12: play both times. Like, it's just so many hurdles that

1145
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 12: make it impossible to like actually know how much push

1146
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,399
Speaker 12: and pulls she's had on their record or how good

1147
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 12: they've been compared to what they should be given who's available. Right, Like,

1148
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,320
Speaker 12: the thought that they'd be better this year was natural

1149
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 12: after how good they closed last year and the talent

1150
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 12: they added, But that talent's been in and out, and

1151
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 12: their best player has been more out than in.

1152
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 9: Like, I don't know.

1153
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,439
Speaker 12: Largely, I think that she's done a good to answer

1154
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 12: the second part of your question. Largely, Like, I think

1155
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 12: she does a good job of not trying to change

1156
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 12: who players are when players are now.

1157
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 9: I think that's a better way to do it.

1158
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 12: It can lead to quinkiness in the last game where

1159
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 12: they like need someone to be more point guardy, But

1160
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 12: she's not telling Kelsey Mitchell out there and pass the

1161
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 12: ball at a billion times, right, Kelsey Mitchell, go be

1162
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 12: Kelsey Mitchell, score the ball thea Boston, b lea Boston.

1163
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 9: If that leads to good passing, that's great. If it

1164
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 9: leads to those two scoring more, that's great. I think

1165
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 9: last game they just had so.

1166
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 12: Many turnovers that they looked really rough without anyone. But

1167
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 12: I think it's better to make players play to their

1168
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 12: strengths always, even if it's harder to do so in

1169
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 12: the context of their team. And that's been the choice

1170
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 12: that she usually has actively made. It's just been so

1171
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 12: hard to do anything, build a rotation, change strategies. Like

1172
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 12: every game there's someone new, there's something new that they

1173
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 12: had to deal with.

1174
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: You know, when you think about Sims and you know

1175
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: the emergency contract or whichever way they worded it. And

1176
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: we talked about Stephanie White about this. This is a

1177
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: player in Odyssey Sims that has experience of these kind

1178
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: of air drop in situations.

1179
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 9: Like the last three years of her career, correct.

1180
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: Right, can you see that on the floor, Like, can

1181
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: you see on the floor that it's somebody that is

1182
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: that has kind of a free flows style about them

1183
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: that helps in that situation.

1184
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think that her career has because it's been

1185
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 12: so much like that recently has leads to a situation

1186
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 12: where like this year she was with the Sparks more

1187
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 12: consistently earl of the year. But she has a lot

1188
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 12: of games.

1189
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 9: I would say this is just my perception of her.

1190
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 12: I would say, like six seven out of ten games,

1191
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 12: she looks totally comfortable and like is good at what

1192
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 12: you just described her game. It's free flow and she

1193
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 12: can kind of freestyle her way through any playbook and

1194
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 12: create chances for herself and others.

1195
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 9: And then the other three out of ten.

1196
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 12: She looks maybe like the creativity doesn't help her, it's

1197
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 12: not creating anything, or it's just a little lost. And

1198
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 12: I think we saw a three out of ten game

1199
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 12: Linestime where her impact was not only there, like the

1200
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 12: ball movement wasn't cris she couldn't really.

1201
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 9: Create a lot.

1202
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 12: There was no real like spark plugness to what she

1203
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 12: was doing, and they needed her to do that in

1204
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 12: that game, like if she if she gave them two

1205
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 12: extra points of value, they win. So I think that

1206
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 12: she'll be much better than that going forward. But I

1207
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 12: do think you know when you're in a situation like

1208
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 12: she's been her whole career where she's learning something new

1209
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 12: or she's on any team, not her whole career, but recently,

1210
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 12: you know, she wasn't All Star at one point. That

1211
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 12: you can expect that her talent wins out more often

1212
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 12: than not. But because of the freshness of her situations,

1213
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 12: it's just all kind of different all the time. And

1214
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 12: that was not a great debut, but I think she'll

1215
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 12: be better in the next one.

1216
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: Tony, What did you think of the Pacers schedule? It's

1217
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 1: not the NFL. You know, you don't get the whole

1218
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: schedule release of like oh Man because there are so

1219
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: many games, But was there anything that jumped out at

1220
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: you of.

1221
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 12: Note, I was bummed we couldn't get two more days

1222
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 12: of getting three games released at a time that was

1223
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 12: really fun and stupid.

1224
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: Then we know the whole schedule by Thanksgiving, right.

1225
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it's what are we doing?

1226
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 12: Like I get that August is the only month where

1227
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 12: there's nothing going on in the NBA is trying.

1228
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 9: To drum up stuff like Okay, it's it's not it's

1229
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 9: it's it's kind of just a weird schedule. It's not

1230
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:52,479
Speaker 9: good or bad.

1231
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 12: You know, they don't have the long West Coast trip

1232
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 12: that's just super draining.

1233
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 9: I think it's only four games. They have a weird

1234
00:59:58,760 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 9: five game.

1235
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 12: Road trip that's all like East Coast teams and then

1236
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 12: the Thunder.

1237
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 9: I guess that's weird.

1238
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 12: They have a weird New Orleans Boston road trip, Like there's.

1239
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 9: Just some goofy stretches in there.

1240
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 12: But honestly, it's like they have more homestands than than

1241
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 12: road trips.

1242
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 9: They have the least back to backs in the league.

1243
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 12: Every year, they travel the least miles because they're so

1244
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 12: close to their division foes and pretty close.

1245
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 9: To the East Coast and Central Time teams. And no

1246
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 9: Paris trip.

1247
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 12: How about that's great news for all of us. So

1248
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 12: I would say it's actually like more favorable than not,

1249
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 12: just because they didn't get stuck with any of the

1250
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 12: back to backs or any like dramatically difficult road trips.

1251
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 12: But you know, for a team that gets the same

1252
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 12: advantages every year, they got those again. And I think

1253
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 12: the only stretch that I looked at and I was like, what, huh,

1254
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 12: how did this happen?

1255
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 9: Is that mid January.

1256
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 12: To just after the All Star break stretch where it's

1257
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 12: like five and are on the road and then they

1258
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 12: come home for four in a row and then six

1259
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:50,919
Speaker 12: in a row on the road, but the All Star

1260
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 12: break breaks it up and there's a bunch of back

1261
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 12: to backs in there. That's gonna feel really strange, I think,

1262
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 12: And the trade deadline sandwiched in the middle of that stretch,

1263
01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 12: so that's always, you know, interesting in terms of how

1264
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 12: that impacts how the team's playing, what the vibe is.

1265
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 9: But outside of that, I felt mostly pretty typical.

1266
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 12: I thought, I was curious, I don't know if this

1267
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 12: is actually like a takeaway just how the NBA would

1268
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 12: handle the Pacers on national TV of deserved versus the.

1269
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 9: Reality of what they're going to be.

1270
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 12: And you know, nine it's more than last year, I

1271
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 12: think by a little bit, but you know, it's.

1272
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 9: Just kind of and is Peacock count is Amazon Prime count?

1273
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 9: I don't know, it's new, but I was very curious

1274
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 9: how they handle that.

1275
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 12: Because I think it'd be easy to sell the promo

1276
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 12: for that game of like, oh, look it's the Eastern

1277
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 12: Conference champions, but also like no one's dumb, like they

1278
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 12: understand who's available.

1279
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 9: So I was really.

1280
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 12: Curious how that shake out, And I think they got

1281
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 12: a little fewer than I maybe thought they would.

1282
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 1: But I do get it, you know, the Tony. It's

1283
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: so funny you mentioned because I keep going back to

1284
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: that myself when you say the reality of what the

1285
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: pacers are going to be versus what they should be

1286
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: rewarded for. Right, Yeah, I really am intrigued by this,

1287
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: you know. You know, for example, with when you take

1288
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: Halliburton out of the equation and you take Turner out

1289
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: of the equation, if each player has to kind of

1290
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 1: tweak who they are, which pacer player, Tony, do you

1291
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: feel like is the most locked in a box in

1292
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: terms of the way that they can play. Which guy

1293
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: has the least flexibility from last year's role? And you say, yeah,

1294
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: if they've got to do above and beyond or in

1295
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: addition to what their role was a year ago, then

1296
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: maybe they're not the same guy because they they are

1297
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: fabulous at that role. But that's the role for them,

1298
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: and an expansion of that is going to be a

1299
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: challenge for them. What player jumps out at you, Yeah.

1300
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 9: Challenge of expansion.

1301
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 12: I mean Aaron Eismith is so good at what he does, Like,

1302
01:02:57,720 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 12: is he actually going to be up a totem poll

1303
01:02:59,280 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 12: at all?

1304
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 9: Ball wise?

1305
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 12: I don't know, but like I kind of feel like

1306
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 12: they'll need a little bit more from everybody with that

1307
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 12: Haliburt in terms of ball movement.

1308
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 9: Passing, dribbling, et cetera. I don't I don't know what

1309
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 9: his cap is.

1310
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 12: He's gotten better every year, but he seems like the

1311
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 12: guy that they would need him to be about the

1312
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 12: same player.

1313
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 9: To be to be good again. And it's gonna be

1314
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 9: tricky to see how he can kind of add.

1315
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 12: To his game because it's like everybody thinks Batherin can

1316
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 12: take on a bigger role and it'd be great for

1317
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 12: the Pacers if he could, and they could figure out

1318
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 12: what he is and what they should want to pay

1319
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 12: him and all that and them Hard has been good

1320
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 12: in the lead ball and handle a roll before, and

1321
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 12: Siakam has been the number one option before. Like most

1322
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,919
Speaker 12: players are going to be in outside of the three

1323
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 12: guys I just said are going to be in somewhat

1324
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 12: similar roles to last year, but the other guy is

1325
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 12: the center spot. Like, can Isaiah Jackson play coming off

1326
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 12: an Achilles terear at twenty five minutes a game?

1327
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 9: Can the Jay Huff play twenty five minutes a game?

1328
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 9: It's so natural to say Jay Huff could.

1329
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 12: Be a guy in a big role who does well,

1330
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 12: and the Pacers have found a lot of those. But

1331
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 12: I wonder what his lock box is, Like, Jay Huff

1332
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 12: was good last year. I think Jay Huf's gonna be

1333
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 12: good for the Pacers. He's played nine hundred or actually

1334
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 12: be nine hundred. He's playing ninety five games in.

1335
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 9: His total career, right, Like, that's nothing. We don't know

1336
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 9: what Jay Huff is.

1337
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 12: So I think Huff is a guy that I have

1338
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 12: a lot of questions about what his lockbox is Isaiah

1339
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 12: Jackson because of his injury. But the guy that I

1340
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 12: think best just fits the answer what you just described

1341
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:15,479
Speaker 12: to Aaron E. Smith and that they.

1342
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 9: Might need everybody in the starting line. This stuff up

1343
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 9: a little bit, but I'm very curious what makes sense

1344
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:20,919
Speaker 9: to span a guy like Jaze.

1345
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who I'm curious about is Topping. You know,

1346
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: I Topping was just outstanding a year ago and the

1347
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 1: role that he had, you know, kind of being that

1348
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 1: instant spark of both energy and scoring. And you know,

1349
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: he really came on as a shooter from the outside.

1350
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: But and I guess he kind of keeps that same

1351
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: role but if now he needs to slide in the

1352
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: occasional as a starter, et cetera. Like I'm curious he

1353
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: was just so convenient where and who he was. Does

1354
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 1: that make sense what I'm saying?

1355
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, And like I don't know how you feel, but

1356
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 12: I still feel like if you said, okay, if patially

1357
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 12: to put their best five players on the floor right

1358
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 12: now for whatever reason this season, like it's probably Siakam

1359
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 12: top in the front court, right, Like it's not Jackson

1360
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 12: or Huff you know, I think probably those, but h.

1361
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: He's so good at where you know what I'm saying, Like.

1362
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, that's what I mean.

1363
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, Well, part of part of what made him better

1364
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 12: for the Pacers than I expected is that he's been

1365
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 12: a much better shooter than he was with the Knicks.

1366
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 9: Like that's big.

1367
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 12: The other thing is like when he got here, remember

1368
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 12: everybody's talking about how good he'll be playing with Haliburton,

1369
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 12: Like he's found ways to be good.

1370
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 9: Playing without Haliburton, right.

1371
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 12: With McConnell, with bench groups, with with whatever, and that

1372
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 12: Like that malley ability has been really big for Obie

1373
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 12: Toppings to be a more well rounded player that it's

1374
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 12: not required that he plays with this passer to be

1375
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 12: a play finisher, like he can run around and provide

1376
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 12: enough offensive juice and even with his defensive limitations, he

1377
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 12: can be, you know, an impact player that's been really

1378
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 12: big for the team.

1379
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 9: And so I do wonder what that'll.

1380
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 12: Look like for him right ken he keep like he's

1381
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 12: had to keep scaling up in the playoffs, he was

1382
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 12: playing their fifth most minutes per game, sometimes fourth most.

1383
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 12: Sometimes he was pretty good in a postseason setting, and

1384
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 12: now he might have to even keep doing more, Like

1385
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 12: when they have season turned around last year in December,

1386
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 12: he was playing a lot of center, Like that was

1387
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 12: around the time that Thomas Priyan trade, Moses Brown's in

1388
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 12: and out. They don't have anybody like they needed him

1389
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 12: to play some center and he did it.

1390
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 9: Can he play that more this year? Do they want

1391
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 9: him to do?

1392
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 4: That?

1393
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,479
Speaker 9: Actually makes sense? You know, these are questions to answer

1394
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 9: because that's you figure out how good Isaiad Jackson and.

1395
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:21,439
Speaker 1: J how are What was the best thing about Rome?

1396
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 9: Oh Man? Can I say wine? Can I say cheap

1397
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 9: wine on the radio?

1398
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 6: Is?

1399
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 1: Sure? Why not?

1400
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 9: Yeah? It's awesome?

1401
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 12: And that's like the biggest difference is like I don't

1402
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 12: know how you feel about this, like almost culturally here

1403
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 12: you don't want to buy crappy wine or like cheap

1404
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 12: wine when you go somewhere like seven yuar of wine

1405
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 12: in Rome is really good?

1406
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: Is that that bones farm? Do you get the Boonz

1407
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 1: farm for that?

1408
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 4: Uh?

1409
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, I can't remember exactly what it was called, but

1410
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 12: that actually does sound like words that I heard.

1411
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: So now you ready for this? I'm allergic to wine?

1412
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 9: Oh no, yep.

1413
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 12: Well, the other thing about Rome that's like Paris adjacent

1414
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 12: but not quite as like the grandness of it is like, okay,

1415
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 12: pick any one monument in downtown Rome, go to it.

1416
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 12: Then just walk any direction and every two or three

1417
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 12: blocks you'll find another one. Right, Like there's some crazy

1418
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 12: church or like building with pillars that are, you know,

1419
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 12: eighty feet tall or so. It's just like stunning every

1420
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 12: direction you go. It's awesome. And obviously the Colsseum in

1421
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 12: the Vatican are fantastic. It's very touristy in a good way,

1422
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 12: like it's it's the kind of touristy stuff I like,

1423
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 12: or it's like you cannot see this anywhere else and

1424
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 12: it's it's very cool.

1425
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 1: So basically you can go there and just kind of

1426
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: roam around, right.

1427
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 9: Can I hang out?

1428
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: Okay? Last question between between Paris, Barcelona and Rome, and

1429
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: this is such an American question it's almost embarrassing. But

1430
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 1: the reality is when you travel, if anybody is thinking

1431
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: about going to those places, this is something to consider

1432
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 1: the amount of English. Which of the three did you

1433
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 1: have the least language barrier?

1434
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 12: Well, I minored in Spanish for a while, so that's

1435
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 12: not like perfectly fair, so I could like understand when

1436
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 12: other people were saying there, But I think the best

1437
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 12: English speakers were probably in Paris, which is really interesting

1438
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 12: to me, Like the people in Italy could speak English,

1439
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 12: but it sounded worse, if that makes.

1440
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 1: Sense, right, Yeah, So I found in Paris, despite the

1441
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: stereotype of the French people, everybody says, oh, they're so

1442
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 1: rude anywhere that I went Tony, I think I told

1443
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:33,600
Speaker 1: you this, if you simply greet them in their native language,

1444
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the time they're like they would you know,

1445
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 1: they would say monsieur back or man sua back and

1446
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 1: then say, by the way, I speak English, and they

1447
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 1: were at that point they were wonderful. I thought they

1448
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 1: were great.

1449
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,599
Speaker 12: Totally agree with that or just like you say thank

1450
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,759
Speaker 12: you in their language, right, like like figure out the

1451
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 12: easy words you're going to be saying every day and

1452
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 12: just be nice right the other But now that I'm

1453
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 12: thinking about it, we did the I can't ever say

1454
01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 12: it right mon March whatever it's called Mamatz.

1455
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 9: However, say that part of.

1456
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 1: Paris, the big area on the hill.

1457
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 12: Yes, yes, when we went up there, our tour guide

1458
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 12: spoke English, but she was from she was she was

1459
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 12: from like Scotland area, so she obviously spoke at English.

1460
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 9: So that's not really now I'm thinking about it's not

1461
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 9: really fair.

1462
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 12: Listen, it's very it's very close between all those places.

1463
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: Honestly, one of the hardest places to understand the natives

1464
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,680
Speaker 1: in Europe that I have found in Scotland. I mean,

1465
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,560
Speaker 1: it's like, can you slow down, pleas It's unbelievable.

1466
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 12: She was from Scotland, left home to be a somalier

1467
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 12: in France and was our food tour guide.

1468
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:35,520
Speaker 9: It was like the most interesting person.

1469
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: Of all food tour guide, A food tour guide food.

1470
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 12: If you go to Europe, that's my big biggest suggestion,

1471
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:43,719
Speaker 12: You'll want to do all the tourist stuff.

1472
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 9: Do a food tour. It's the best.

1473
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 1: I had a food tour guide once on Rockville Road.

1474
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: It was just nothing, but like, here's Windeez, there's quiz Nos,

1475
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: there's a Blent Piece, there's seven ie hops.

1476
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 12: What's funny is we were talking about that were like

1477
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 12: if we.

1478
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 9: Came to Indy, could we even do a food tour?

1479
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, go to Milwaukee they got free burgers because

1480
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 1: the brewers w one twelve and or oh, there's a

1481
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 1: food tour. All right, Tony appreciated Food tour at the

1482
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 1: State Fair by the way, still available, Tony East Food tour,

1483
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:11,599

1484
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Tony, Thanks for grabbing guys right. Tony East

1485
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 1: joining us on the program, we talked basketball there, pacers fever.

1486
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 1: Indiana has been down in Puerto Rico, and Jeff rab

1487
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,680
Speaker 1: John's getting us kind of up to speed on it. Look,

1488
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: it's a brand new roster. What are we going to

1489
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 1: see out of Indiana this year? Rab Johns joins us

1490
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 1: other side. Just the other day, he's speaking of roaming.

1491
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: It's when I was roaming through a record store in

1492
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:40,600
Speaker 1: California that I learned of Jeff rab John's appreciation for

1493
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 1: prints of the Revolution. I still have a Purple Rain

1494
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 1: album on vinyl for rab Johns that I've got to

1495
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 1: get to him and would happily meet up with him

1496
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 1: to do so, because I always enjoy seeing him and

1497
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:53,720
Speaker 1: talking to him, which is why he joins us on

1498
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: the program. Now, Jeff rab John's, of course, you see

1499
01:10:56,880 --> 01:11:00,799
Speaker 1: his work. You read his work covering Indiana basketball from

1500
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 1: really the inside when you think about it, with Peaks

1501
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 1: dot Com and Indiana just got done playing three games

1502
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: Jeff down in San Juan, Puerto Rico and went three

1503
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 1: to zero, and it seemed to me, now I'm going

1504
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 1: to give you outside observation, and you tell me if

1505
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,599
Speaker 1: it's a fair statement for a team that is still

1506
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, you know, getting to know one another.

1507
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:25,639
Speaker 1: Because of the fact that this the way this roster

1508
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: was assembled with Indiana, I thought this was a really

1509
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,280
Speaker 1: important three games because not only are you trying to

1510
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:34,680
Speaker 1: find out who each other are on the floor, but

1511
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: I thought they were actually tested by I don't know

1512
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: how good the teams were, but the teams put them,

1513
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, they had three games where they were put

1514
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: in adverse situations and had to kind of collectively come

1515
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 1: together and win all three of those games and coming

1516
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 1: from behind, and I think that goes a long way

1517
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 1: just in terms of chemistry and understanding of one another.

1518
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 1: Is that a fair assessment of what took place for IU.

1519
01:11:59,240 --> 01:11:59,599
Speaker 2: Overall?

1520
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 4: I think it's generally fair. I would say in two

1521
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 4: games they were tested the first.

1522
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 1: One, well they won one of them. You have a

1523
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 1: big time, right.

1524
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, But to your jen, I think your general points

1525
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 4: is right. The only cave and I would throw in

1526
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 4: is that, like you know, Indiana didn't.

1527
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 2: Practice while they were down there.

1528
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 4: This was about play the games and you boys go

1529
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:21,760
Speaker 4: out and have some fun and go jet scheme and

1530
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 4: go kayaking and go historically and have some fun and

1531
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 4: really get to know each other when you don't have

1532
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:32,680
Speaker 4: the distractions of campus life around you. So in some

1533
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 4: of those situations, you know, you know, they didn't do

1534
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:37,640
Speaker 4: film session, they didn't do any of that. It was

1535
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 4: we're going to play the games. And they did experiment

1536
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 4: with lineups a little bit, especially in the first two games.

1537
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 4: You can see lineups and you look at it and go, okay,

1538
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 4: this is one of those things where a coach is going,

1539
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 4: I want five minutes, four minutes, of these guys on

1540
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 4: the floor to see what it looks like. That way,

1541
01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 4: when we get back, I can watch it on film

1542
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,559
Speaker 4: and decide do I want to mess with this lineup

1543
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 4: come you know, fall practice or not. And I think

1544
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 4: that's one of the reasons they fell behind by twenty

1545
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:06,719
Speaker 4: in the two games against Mega Superbat and Mega Superbat

1546
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 4: used to be KK Megabats get super Bets sponsorship, same program.

1547
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 4: You know, Joker came out of that program. It's been

1548
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:17,680
Speaker 4: a legit program for years now. And you know, they

1549
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 4: had Milwaukee Bucks second round Drastick. They had another kid

1550
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 4: who played d one played at.

1551
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 2: The University of Georgia.

1552
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 4: They got two other guys who have high major offers,

1553
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 4: one of whom would have been in college this year,

1554
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:29,760
Speaker 4: but he decided to stay in Europe one more year

1555
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 4: try to drive up his NIL price. So they had

1556
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 4: some legit talent. The only thing they really didn't have.

1557
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 4: They didn't have like the big time center you find

1558
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 4: on the top level college basketball teams in the States.

1559
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 4: But they had skill and they had six nine, six, ten,

1560
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 4: six eleven on the front line. Their point guard again

1561
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 4: played at Georgia last year. They had skill, but I

1562
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 4: think to me, the biggest takeaway for Indiana is the

1563
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 4: shot charts. Trevor Andershock, who works for US at peaks

1564
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:01,639
Speaker 4: dot com, he does shot charts for every IU basketball game,

1565
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 4: and those shot charts, to me were that was far

1566
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 4: number one takeaway Indiana's running modern offense. Through the first

1567
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 4: two exhibition games, I use shot seventy five to three

1568
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 4: pointers and only five two pointers.

1569
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 2: That were outside the paint.

1570
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:23,719
Speaker 4: So it was three and drives and threes and cuts,

1571
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 4: threes and attack the paint. That's basically the model for

1572
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:30,679
Speaker 4: a chance and modern efficient offense, shots in the paint

1573
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:36,520
Speaker 4: and threes. Mike Woodson, for reasons still no one understands,

1574
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 4: emphasized long twos and I you have shot charts during

1575
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 4: his tenure where there were more long twos taken than threes,

1576
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 4: and it was just you look at.

1577
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 2: It and you went, what is the point of this?

1578
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 4: Nobody still knows, but anyway, that's now over deres is in.

1579
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 4: You look at those shot charts, and for me, that

1580
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:56,719
Speaker 4: was the number one thing, the fact that it's about

1581
01:14:56,720 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 4: threes and drives, cuts to the paint. It's a modern offense,

1582
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 4: and there are so many times that take a video

1583
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 4: clip you know, and then you know, you hit pause

1584
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 4: at some point and the lane is completely open.

1585
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 2: There is opportunity for.

1586
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:14,680
Speaker 4: Any one of the five guys to cut, any one

1587
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 4: of the five guys, to drive any one of the

1588
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 4: five guys who's had a screen for a teammate and

1589
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 4: have them drive.

1590
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 2: So to me, that was the biggest takeaway.

1591
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 4: We got to see, at least the idea of how

1592
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:26,439
Speaker 4: does Indiana want to play?

1593
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:29,920
Speaker 1: Uner Dan de Brees, I realize that Tucker tove Rees

1594
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,799
Speaker 1: Jeff Jeff rab Johns is our guest. The Tucker Tovrees

1595
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 1: is the guy that comes in with the pedigree of

1596
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 1: you know, big time score, a Conference Player of the Year.

1597
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a big time talent and seemingly is

1598
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:43,759
Speaker 1: going to be the guy that most Indiana offensive sets

1599
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: are going through. But from what I read and from

1600
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 1: what I'm able to just kind of tell, and then

1601
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: in things that I've watched, it feels to me like

1602
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 1: Lamar Wilkerson has kind of an Alpha about him. In

1603
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 1: other words, he might not be the leading scorer every game,

1604
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: he might not be the guy that jumps out at

1605
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: you every game, but everything indirectly from his teammates kind

1606
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:07,959
Speaker 1: of goes through him, just in terms of tempo or tone.

1607
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: Am I off base?

1608
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 2: No?

1609
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 4: And I think another thing about Lamar is that he's

1610
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 4: gonna have pretty much the ultimate green light. When asked

1611
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:21,160
Speaker 4: if Ring's.

1612
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 2: About Omar down there in Puerto Rico.

1613
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 4: He even said something along the lines of, I don't

1614
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 4: care if he goes one for eighteen, because he may

1615
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 4: turn around and go eighteen for eighteen. Now, the streets

1616
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 4: aren't going to be that extreme, but he legitimately could

1617
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 4: go like zero for five in the first half five

1618
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 4: for six, and the second half from three. And he's

1619
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 4: one of those guys for whom the shooting, while it

1620
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 4: can be streaky, if it's a good streak.

1621
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:48,559
Speaker 2: He can win you a game.

1622
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 4: And against certain teams, if you're not scoring well from

1623
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 4: three point range, you're not winning the game anyway. So

1624
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 4: there's really no reason to tell him to stop shooting.

1625
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,560
Speaker 4: So I think he's probably in line to be the

1626
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 4: second leading scorer.

1627
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:04,679
Speaker 2: And I liked the fact that there were.

1628
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 4: Stretches where he didn't make shots and he never hesitated. Now,

1629
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 4: I don't make anything of the individual shooting numbers or

1630
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 4: the individual stats maybe outside of assists. For this reason,

1631
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 4: there was one day before one game. The guys were

1632
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:21,800
Speaker 4: out kayaking in the wind in the sun. Okay, they're

1633
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,720
Speaker 4: not gonna be out kayaking on the on game day

1634
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 4: when the game counts. So I really don't put anything

1635
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 4: in Nlson. People are making a big deal about let's

1636
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:30,679
Speaker 4: dive into the stats.

1637
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:32,760
Speaker 2: I'm not diving in the stats. I've looked at him.

1638
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 4: I got them all on my laptop. They don't mean

1639
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 4: a thing, They mean absolutely nothing. But I do think

1640
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 4: it was telling that Lamar never hesitated whether they were

1641
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 4: going in or not going in, and they like the

1642
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 4: fact that his team kept going to him. It wasn't like, Okay,

1643
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 4: you know, we got to run something else. It was like, no,

1644
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 4: we want to get shots from for Lamar. We're gonna

1645
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 4: keep getting shots for Lamar. Lamar, You're going to keep

1646
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 4: taking the shots. And he did, and I think he's

1647
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 4: probably in line to be in a second leading score.

1648
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 1: Who else ye have? Jeff rab John's our guest. I mean, obviously,

1649
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:05,160
Speaker 1: Trent Sisley is a guy from Indiana high school basketball

1650
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:07,639
Speaker 1: that we are familiar with, and there was a lot

1651
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: of expectation about him. They got a late serbian addition

1652
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: to the roster that I think is intriguing. But I'll

1653
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 1: kind of give you the floor here to let us

1654
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 1: know of some really and I'm not talking necessarily fifty

1655
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: year transfer guys, young rooted players for Indiana that to

1656
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: you you looked at and said, Okay, I get it.

1657
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,599
Speaker 1: These are the guys now that you're hoping stick around

1658
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:32,320
Speaker 1: for a while and that Indiana grows with.

1659
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1660
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I think Trent Sisley is probably the only

1661
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 4: one that you can really point to right now, only

1662
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:44,759
Speaker 4: because Alexaistic, who is the Serbian guard who was playing

1663
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 4: then in Puerto Rico, He's only been with the team

1664
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 4: for a couple of days, so and the reasoning even

1665
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 4: mentioned after the game, you know, because he played him

1666
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 4: twenty some minutes in one game and I was just

1667
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 4: surprised you got that kind of time, and he said, basically, look, Jeff,

1668
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,519
Speaker 4: all it does is, you know, speed up his process.

1669
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 4: He doesn't know the terminology. No, we probably couldn't play

1670
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:07,799
Speaker 4: him if the game's counted. No, he doesn't even understand

1671
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 4: where he's going. Yeah, when I was bringing him over

1672
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 4: the sideline, I was actually have to try and tell him, Hey,

1673
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 4: when I call this, it means ABC and D Okay,

1674
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:17,439
Speaker 4: so he's got he got a chance to be a

1675
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:19,720
Speaker 4: solid player, I think in time, but he's just not

1676
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 4: ready yet because he just hasn't had any time on

1677
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 4: the court. Doesn't on terminology transiously, I thought played really well.

1678
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:30,599
Speaker 4: He's around six seven. His senior year at Montberg High

1679
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 4: School gave him an opportunity to play every day in

1680
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 4: practice and in games against other guys who are going

1681
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 4: to be high major college basketball players, and that really

1682
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 4: accelerated his development.

1683
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 2: Uh.

1684
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 4: He's always been a tough guy, willing to go in

1685
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 4: and get rebounds. But the thing that really changed is,

1686
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 4: you know, his his three point shooting. He can he

1687
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 4: can really space the floor.

1688
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 2: Now.

1689
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 4: He was really good with the corner three, made it

1690
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:59,560
Speaker 4: a number of times against against Well Mega Superbad, and

1691
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 4: then they ability to make that corner three means he

1692
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 4: can play. Gives him the opportunity to play more minutes

1693
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 4: because that gives him a clearly defined offensive threat role

1694
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 4: where he can score from there and in create space

1695
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 4: from there. Because if he wasn't going to be a

1696
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:15,519
Speaker 4: guy who could hit three pointers, then all of a sudden,

1697
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 4: the other team's going to really sag off of a

1698
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:20,519
Speaker 4: freshman who's a non shooter, and the space you get

1699
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:23,720
Speaker 4: on offense to the space you get an offense, all

1700
01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 4: of a sudden becomes a lot more congested, siffly out there.

1701
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:28,400
Speaker 2: Making those threes changes that.

1702
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying it's all of a sudden going

1703
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 4: to make him a starter or anything, but it gives

1704
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 4: him a far better chance to play meaningful minutes against

1705
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 4: le jit opponents. There's no question he's going to play

1706
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 4: in some of the by games, no question at all.

1707
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:44,720
Speaker 4: But he is really his year at Montbird playing on

1708
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 4: the eybl s elastic circuit that really accelerated his progress.

1709
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 4: And then I think that gives him a chance to

1710
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 4: guy who's going to play as far as other guys,

1711
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 4: I think you're you know, taking Tanner away. I think

1712
01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:58,719
Speaker 4: starts at point guard. He was I use, best player

1713
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 4: against pressure, So I think that clearly signals he is

1714
01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 4: highly likely to be the starting point guard. In fact,

1715
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 4: I think it would be a huge surprise if he's

1716
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 4: not the starting point guard.

1717
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:11,719
Speaker 1: He's to transfer from Troy, right, Yeah, he's.

1718
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 4: A transfer, and Connor en Wright's the other guy has

1719
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 4: a chance to play a point guard, and they started them.

1720
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 4: They started the two point guards together. It'll be down

1721
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 4: there in Puerto Rico. It'll be interesting to see if

1722
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 4: that's something you can do during the regular season. You

1723
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 4: could do it in buy games where you're still going

1724
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 4: to have an athletic advantage. If you don't have the

1725
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:30,760
Speaker 4: athletic advantage you would If you're going to start in

1726
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 4: right and and connor Way together, they're gonna need to

1727
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 4: be able to hit shots, and if they don't, I

1728
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 4: think that gets a little dicey. I think whenever Nick

1729
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 4: Dorn gets healthy, I think he's the guy you kind

1730
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 4: of look at Jokay. He's another guy who can make shots.

1731
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 4: He's a little bigger. You know, he's a potential starter.

1732
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 4: And then you know, I think same Alexis and then

1733
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 4: Read Bailey are the two main guys you're probably going

1734
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:57,080
Speaker 4: to see on the inside. Read Bailey transferred from Davidson.

1735
01:21:57,520 --> 01:21:59,799
Speaker 4: I think the interesting thing about Read Bailey's his ability

1736
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 4: to grab the ball off the board immediately start up

1737
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 4: court and his ability to pass in the half court,

1738
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 4: from the baseline, from the wing, and from up top.

1739
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 4: That means you've got a six to nine guy who

1740
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 4: you can put it a lot of different spots in

1741
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:15,479
Speaker 4: the floor and a run off sense through him that

1742
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 4: makes him pretty intriguing. Sam alexis a little more of

1743
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:22,600
Speaker 4: the traditional type, you know, slash the basket, slash to

1744
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 4: the block, make a catch.

1745
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 2: Make a post move kind of player. But when you

1746
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 2: when you.

1747
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 4: Think about top seven or eight, I think those are

1748
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 4: probably the key guys that you think of as far

1749
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:36,800
Speaker 4: as who's healthy right now, who's playing right now, and

1750
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 4: who's likely to play in meaningful games.

1751
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 1: Okay, lastly, Jeff rab John's our guestpeaks dot com, where

1752
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: you can read his work talking about Indiana basketball defensively,

1753
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: what does their potential look like from a defensive standpoint

1754
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: as a basketball team.

1755
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:54,599
Speaker 2: I think, I aink, You're gonna have to be really

1756
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 2: good on the ball.

1757
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 4: They're gonna have to be really good in gaps because

1758
01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 4: they just, excuse me, they don't have that shot blocker

1759
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:05,559
Speaker 4: and nobody's going to magically, you know, go from six

1760
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 4: to ten wingspan to a seven foot six wings fan.

1761
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 4: So it's going to have to be a little bit

1762
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 4: more like how they defended when Dari debris is coaching

1763
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 4: at West Virginia, you know that they had a pretty

1764
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 4: good team. They pulled some upsets a six foot eight

1765
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 4: of money hands very starting at center, and the reason

1766
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 4: was primarily ball pressure and how they play in the

1767
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 4: gaps and don't let anybody get anything easy. So I

1768
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:28,680
Speaker 4: think those are the things that they're going to have

1769
01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 4: to do defensively. But again, when you don't have a

1770
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 4: shot blocker, there are some things that you're just going

1771
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:37,599
Speaker 4: to struggle against. And there might be some times they

1772
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 4: just have to sort of outscore somebody, meaning their offense

1773
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 4: is going to have to be better than the other

1774
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 4: team's offense in a given night. I think there's a

1775
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 4: real chance you see some you know, some ninety to

1776
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 4: eighty five type games for Indiana this year.

1777
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:52,920
Speaker 1: Love it, love it gonna be fun to watch and

1778
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 1: a lot of new faces. But appreciate the explanation on

1779
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 1: all of them, Jeff and how they looked down in

1780
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. Again Peaks dot com where you can get

1781
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 1: continue to read Jeff's work in their coverage for Indiana basketball.

1782
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:04,720
Speaker 1: And I still got to get the album to you.

1783
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 1: Jeff appreciated man as always always with you, Jake, Jeff

1784
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 1: rab John's joining us on the program, Eddie. We've still

1785
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:14,600
Speaker 1: got a couple of spots to give away, right in

1786
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 1: the fantasy league we do. We also have some gift

1787
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 1: cards to give away as well, because we just did

1788
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 1: a deep dish on Indiana basketball. So therefore, we've got

1789
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:27,600
Speaker 1: a gift card to give away for Chicago's Pizza and

1790
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:29,599
Speaker 1: we will do that right now. As a matter of fact,

1791
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 1: call her number. What color would you like, Eddie? We

1792
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,599
Speaker 1: talked about Indiana and their ability to shoot the threes

1793
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 1: there at least they do have some guys that can

1794
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 1: do that, So why don't we do call her number three.

1795
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:40,519
Speaker 1: We'll get a gift card to Chicago's Pizza. Well, I

1796
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 1: was thinking three anyway, because it's a thirty dollars gift card.

1797
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 1: It is exactly that, and we would love for somebody

1798
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 1: to get it. And you may be saying yourself, Chicago's Pizza.

1799
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 1: Maybe you haven't tried it, No problem, it's not going

1800
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: to be hard for you to find one because there

1801
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,720
Speaker 1: are eighteen Central Indiana locations. You can find out all

1802
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:57,960
Speaker 1: of those locations at Chicago's Pizza dot com. And we

1805
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 1: Company on the Fan. Yes, Eddy giving away the gift

1806
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:11,880
Speaker 1: cards for Chicago's Pizza. Appreciate those that called in for

1807
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: that interesting news that just came across my desk here.

1808
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of reading this on the fly, but

1809
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 1: I do find this interesting in the inna the NIL landscape,

1810
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:37,680
Speaker 1: and the thing that makes this interesting to me is

1811
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 1: the fact that the Horizon League is based right here

1812
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:44,720
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. And of course IU Indy is one of

1813
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: the schools in the Horizon League. And there's a coalition

1814
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 1: which includes the Atlantic Ten, the Big Sky, the Big West,

1815
01:25:55,960 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 1: the Horizon, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, the Ohio Valley,

1816
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:04,719
Speaker 1: the Southern Conference, the Summit Conference, the Western Athletic Conference,

1817
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:09,560
Speaker 1: and the West Coast Conference. So all of these conferences

1818
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 1: have gathered together to go basically, as I understand it,

1819
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 1: to Capitol Hill, to form a coalition to essentially try

1820
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:26,840
Speaker 1: to protect themselves within the realm of the NIL, of

1821
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 1: the fact that you have the board of directors of

1822
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:33,320
Speaker 1: the bigger like the NCAA governance to make sure that

1823
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 1: they are not essentially putting everything into the basket of

1824
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 1: the power fives and keeping the mid majors out of

1825
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 1: the mix in terms of revenue share and nil bylaws

1826
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,839
Speaker 1: and all of those things, and the reason it's interesting

1827
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 1: and this will be but I remember saying this in

1828
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 1: kind of predicting this, and this doesn't make me by

1829
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 1: any stretch of the imagination voyant. But several years ago,

1830
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 1: I think it was when Derek and I were still

1831
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 1: doing a show together and we were talking about conference realignment,

1832
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 1: and it was this was the first go round a

1833
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: conference realignment several years ago when Derek had the great

1834
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:20,280
Speaker 1: line that all of everybody was going to realign, and

1835
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: then the Pac twelve puked and they stopped the ride.

1836
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:26,560
Speaker 1: And there was some truth to that, because this was

1837
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 1: before you had USC and UCLA and then Washington and

1838
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,519
Speaker 1: Oregon jumping from the Pack ten into the Big ten

1839
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:38,679
Speaker 1: and everything that comes with that. But at that time,

1840
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,200
Speaker 1: I recall saying that, and I called it the Hat

1841
01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:48,920
Speaker 1: World League, and I keep using that phrase because if

1842
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 1: you go into a hat world in Butte, Montana, and

1843
01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 1: you walk in lids whatever you want to call it,

1844
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 1: to a hat store, and you look on the wall

1845
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:02,760
Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, what hats are they selling? North Carolina, Duke,

1846
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:09,479
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Clemson, Alabama, Texas, Ucla, Florida, Michigan, Ohio State.

1847
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:13,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's the same basically twenty schools, and I

1848
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:16,439
Speaker 1: know that you have the Power five conferences now essentially

1849
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: the Power four, but in reality you have the top

1850
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:25,000
Speaker 1: twenty five or thirty football basketball brands and a lot

1851
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 1: of the conference shuffling. It's all football driven. You know,

1852
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:36,080
Speaker 1: UCLA got brought into the Big Ten. And I will

1853
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 1: shout this from the mountaintops because I've never been more

1854
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 1: certain of anything in my life. Ucla got into the

1855
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 1: Big Ten because the Big Ten reached out to USC

1856
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:51,760
Speaker 1: for football purposes, in football branding and football revenue, and

1857
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:54,560
Speaker 1: USC said, will come, but so long as there is

1858
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 1: essentially a travel partner, if you will, but another school

1859
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 1: to come with us, to pair for travel purposes, et cetera.

1860
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:05,560
Speaker 1: And that's how UCLA got brought along. UCLA one of

1861
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:09,560
Speaker 1: the most prestigious college basketball programs and blue bloods of

1862
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 1: college basketball in America. And that meant nothing. It meant

1863
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:15,760
Speaker 1: a little bit, but in the grand scheme, it meant

1864
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 1: nothing because they wanted football. They wanted the brand of

1865
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 1: football of USC, and that's how they got UCLA to

1866
01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:25,880
Speaker 1: come along, because they piggybacked USC to come in and

1867
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:30,439
Speaker 1: the same thing is true of Washington and Oregon. I mean,

1868
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:33,200
Speaker 1: Oregon's an okay basketball program, the first ever national champion

1869
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:36,800
Speaker 1: in the tournament, but it was all football driven, and

1870
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:40,600
Speaker 1: all of these revenue decisions are being football driven. And

1871
01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:44,200
Speaker 1: so therefore you have this coalition now of the rest

1872
01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 1: of the mid majors, some of which don't have Division

1873
01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:49,800
Speaker 1: IE athletics, that are saying, listen, we want to be

1874
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:53,280
Speaker 1: preemptive in terms of the revenue share and the split

1875
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:57,160
Speaker 1: that's taking place right now to make sure that as

1876
01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:00,559
Speaker 1: the power force essentially can TA, we need to drive

1877
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 1: all revenue that we continue to get our piece of

1878
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:08,800
Speaker 1: the pie here. And I think it's a brilliant move

1879
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:12,879
Speaker 1: by these leagues, including the Indianapolis based Horizon League, because

1880
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,360
Speaker 1: of the fact that I think they too can see

1881
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:20,599
Speaker 1: the handwriting on the wall that eventually you could get

1882
01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:24,080
Speaker 1: a secession by those twenty five or thirty schools that

1883
01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:26,800
Speaker 1: just say we don't need the NCAA anymore. And if

1884
01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:29,880
Speaker 1: that happens, then what happens with the NCAA and what

1885
01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:33,840
Speaker 1: protections are in place for those other smaller leagues. It's

1886
01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:38,439
Speaker 1: a very nuanced and long winded conversation but that's right

1887
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:40,719
Speaker 1: now what appears to be kind of the first scope

1888
01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:42,160
Speaker 1: of it. I planned this weekend to get a lot

1889
01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:45,320
Speaker 1: more information on this and have discussion more in depth

1890
01:30:45,439 --> 01:30:49,639
Speaker 1: about it next week. This weekend it is Colton Packers,

1891
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:52,479
Speaker 1: and then perhaps we'll have an answer on the quarterback

1892
01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:55,680
Speaker 1: situation as well. Joel A. Ericksson, monitoring all of it,

1893
01:30:55,840 --> 01:31:03,080
Speaker 1: joins us next. Unpopular opinion perhaps, but I've never liked Rush.

1894
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:05,439
Speaker 1: This is a good song right here, but outside of that,

1895
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:08,960
Speaker 1: this and fly by Night. Like if you go to

1896
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:10,599
Speaker 1: a Rush concert, DoD they just play this and fly

1897
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:15,479
Speaker 1: by Night the whole time. My cousin mentioned going to

1898
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:17,439
Speaker 1: see Rush in Toronto, and I'm like, yeah, I think

1899
01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:20,400
Speaker 1: I'll stop at Oasis in Manchester for now, and then

1900
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:24,799
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl coming up in three weeks. Nothing against Rush. Limelight,

1901
01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:30,400
Speaker 1: what's that Limelight? Hum A few bars? That's another I

1902
01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:32,640
Speaker 1: can't hum bars. No, I know the song, I just

1903
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 1: can't remember it off the top of my head. I

1904
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:36,720
Speaker 1: can know the name and couldn't remember it. Putting in

1905
01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:38,879
Speaker 1: the limelight now is what we're doing for. Joela Erickson,

1906
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 1: who joins us from the Indianapolis Star. Coltson Packers tomorrow night.

1907
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:44,680
Speaker 1: It is preseason game number two, home game number one.

1908
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:47,400
Speaker 1: Easy way to say it, by the way, well, all

1909
01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 1: the traffic snap though, since the entire city's under construction.

1910
01:31:50,680 --> 01:31:53,400
Speaker 1: If you're coming from the south side, don't try taking

1911
01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:56,000
Speaker 1: sixty five all the way into downtown. And if you're

1912
01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:59,000
Speaker 1: coming from the north side, avoid West and Capitol Street.

1913
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 1: That's the easiest way to say that, right, Eddie. I

1914
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:05,719
Speaker 1: think we covered all the bases. I think so. Joel

1915
01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:08,320
Speaker 1: Ericson actually is blowing off this game because he's going

1916
01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:10,280
Speaker 1: to Milwaukee to get a free burger because the Brewers

1917
01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:13,599
Speaker 1: won twelve in a row. That's my understanding, Joel, how

1918
01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:13,800
Speaker 1: are you?

1919
01:32:14,920 --> 01:32:19,599
Speaker 5: I am good, except that the burger giveaway is August twentieth,

1920
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:23,720
Speaker 5: which is like a Wednesday, no shot, no shot to get,

1921
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:25,240
Speaker 5: no shot at getting up there?

1922
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:30,919
Speaker 1: Why not? I'll go with you. I'm Is it this Wednesday?

1923
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 5: It's August twentieth? Yes, this Wednesday?

1924
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:37,679
Speaker 1: How many? Okay? So, for those that are unfamiliar, Joel

1925
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:40,000
Speaker 1: is a native of Wisconsin. There's a burger place in

1926
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 1: Milwaukee that has a special in a promotion they've done

1927
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 1: since literally the beginning of time, where if the Brewers

1928
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 1: win twelve straight games, everyone in town gets a free burger.

1929
01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:53,559
Speaker 1: The Brewers did exactly that. So this place is doing

1930
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 1: free burgers on the twentieth. And my understanding is no limit, right,

1931
01:32:57,160 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 1: like fat guys are just going to drive through all day.

1932
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:03,680
Speaker 5: I my understanding is the way this usually works is

1933
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:06,080
Speaker 5: that like there's just a big line of people and

1934
01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:08,519
Speaker 5: there's just employees out there just handing a burger as

1935
01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:11,200
Speaker 5: you go past, which I assume that you just get

1936
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:11,880
Speaker 5: back in line.

1937
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:12,080
Speaker 13: Right.

1938
01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:14,680
Speaker 1: Do you think this will be as well orchestrated orchestrated

1939
01:33:14,720 --> 01:33:17,560
Speaker 1: as the Pacers thing they did during the finals that

1940
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:19,799
Speaker 1: backed up the city for like three hours and everybody

1941
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:20,360
Speaker 1: got upset.

1942
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 5: I when I saw it today, it said it was

1943
01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:25,920
Speaker 5: like the that there's like a specific time, and I

1944
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:27,519
Speaker 5: was like, you got to make it all day. Now,

1945
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:31,760
Speaker 5: Apparently you can also get a voucher to get a

1946
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 5: burger a free burger at a later date if you

1947
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:35,400
Speaker 5: show up at a different time.

1948
01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:38,680
Speaker 1: Listen with all due respect to your home state, and

1949
01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:42,080
Speaker 1: I you know, I love Milwaukee for example, right, I

1950
01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:49,120
Speaker 1: love Milwaukee. Okay, dietary consideration not a strong suit of Milwaukee.

1951
01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:51,360
Speaker 1: What do you call a Milwaukee person in Milwaukee. I

1952
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:54,479
Speaker 1: a lot of fat people. So this this could be

1953
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:57,680
Speaker 1: This could be a bad financial decision, could it not.

1954
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:02,759
Speaker 5: I I think what they lose in amount of burgers

1955
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:04,960
Speaker 5: and giving up, I think they probably make back in

1956
01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:07,760
Speaker 5: the fact that everyone gets reminded that George Web is

1957
01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:10,519
Speaker 5: there for for a couple of weeks.

1958
01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 1: Listen that George Web is the name of the place. Right,

1959
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 1: how many how many establishments are there in Milwaukee?

1960
01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:20,719
Speaker 5: My understanding I don't know about in Milwaukee. My understanding

1961
01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:24,040
Speaker 5: is there are twenty stores in southeastern twenty rests in

1962
01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:25,080
Speaker 5: southeastern Wisconsin.

1963
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:29,680
Speaker 1: I guarantee you guarantee you eighty four percent of the

1964
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:34,639
Speaker 1: state of Wisconsin willing to eat twenty burgers in one day, right, people,

1965
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:36,600
Speaker 1: I haven't got a fellow the tank there. You know,

1966
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:38,519
Speaker 1: we're gonna drive around and just they hit all the

1967
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:39,840
Speaker 1: George Webs. Yeah.

1968
01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:43,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's also and apparently there's also a restaurant that

1969
01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:47,680
Speaker 5: currently occupies what used to be a George Web and

1970
01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 5: they are also giving out free burgers.

1971
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:53,880
Speaker 1: Okay, what a tangled web they weave?

1972
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 2: Right.

1973
01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:56,960
Speaker 5: They were like they're like, ah, we were at George

1974
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:58,439
Speaker 5: Web one, let's get on the front.

1975
01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:03,560
Speaker 1: Why not I guess right. Uh okay joel uh. I

1976
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:05,760
Speaker 1: believe personally, and I want you to tell me I'm wrong.

1977
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:07,639
Speaker 1: I think the quarterback deal is over with. I think

1978
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:10,360
Speaker 1: it's Anthony Richardson and the rest is smoking mirrors your thoughts.

1979
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 5: I I think that it could still be Daniel Zones.

1980
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:18,680
Speaker 5: I have it's been gnawing at me ever since the

1981
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:22,639
Speaker 5: Ravens game that there could be a bunch of stuff

1982
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:26,840
Speaker 5: that we as fans do not see that the coaching

1983
01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:29,720
Speaker 5: staff does not like in Richardson's game.

1984
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:35,479
Speaker 1: And hold on, when you say that, do you mean

1985
01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:39,479
Speaker 1: behind closed doors? You think there are things like like

1986
01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:42,799
Speaker 1: the things that we've heard about just in terms of preparation, filmroom,

1987
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:46,040
Speaker 1: or are you saying footwork and things that our eye

1988
01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:48,320
Speaker 1: is not trained to see they might be seeing.

1989
01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:52,280
Speaker 5: It's more of the latter, I think it is. I

1990
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:54,400
Speaker 5: think if if that stuff is going on, and I

1991
01:35:54,479 --> 01:35:57,519
Speaker 5: don't know if if that stuff is going on, I

1992
01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:00,280
Speaker 5: think it's like it's like did the ball to the

1993
01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:03,080
Speaker 5: right place? Did he see the blitzer that he was

1994
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:06,439
Speaker 5: supposed to see and be responsible for? You know, is

1995
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:09,600
Speaker 5: he operating the whole operation of the offense thing? I

1996
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:12,800
Speaker 5: think that that sails over most of our heads, including mine.

1997
01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:16,400
Speaker 5: But like, if your cadence isn't very good, your offensive

1998
01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:18,439
Speaker 5: line can faalse start. We see that now we blame

1999
01:36:18,479 --> 01:36:21,560
Speaker 5: the offensive line, but the coaching staff can know, you know,

2000
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,759
Speaker 5: this is a cadence thing, that that kind of stuff

2001
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:27,280
Speaker 5: is the stuff that we can't see. And Ed Dodds,

2002
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:29,759
Speaker 5: is the assistant general manager, told us yesterday that sometimes

2003
01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:32,200
Speaker 5: the front office people don't know it until the coaches

2004
01:36:32,280 --> 01:36:34,479
Speaker 5: tell them, hey, there was a mistake on that play.

2005
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 5: And all of that and the whole Ravens thing makes

2006
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:41,800
Speaker 5: me wonder could there be a possibility that some of

2007
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:44,720
Speaker 5: the some of the periods of practice that have not

2008
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:47,040
Speaker 5: looked so great for Richardson, could that stuff have been

2009
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:50,719
Speaker 5: going on and that be pushing it back towards Daniel Jones.

2010
01:36:51,760 --> 01:36:54,960
Speaker 1: It's it's interesting to me because I have said all

2011
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:58,360
Speaker 1: along that if it's a tie, it goes to the incumbent,

2012
01:36:58,479 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 1: and I just haven't seen. I keep saying if Daniel

2013
01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:05,280
Speaker 1: Jones is the starter. It's at this point, Joel, and

2014
01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me if you disagree with this.

2015
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:09,479
Speaker 1: If Daniel Jones is the starter, it's not going to

2016
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:12,000
Speaker 1: be because Daniel Jones won the job. It's going to

2017
01:37:12,040 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 1: be because Anthony Richardson lost it. Yeah, I agree with that.

2018
01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:15,880
Speaker 1: I agree with that.

2019
01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:20,680
Speaker 5: Jones has looked essentially as advertised to me. He's he

2020
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:25,040
Speaker 5: completes a lot of short passes. He is a little

2021
01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:27,800
Speaker 5: bit iffy when he has to go throw in the

2022
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:30,880
Speaker 5: twenty yard range and his deep ball is going to

2023
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:34,280
Speaker 5: need the receiver to do some work on it. He's

2024
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:36,640
Speaker 5: pretty much been exactly what we thought. I didn't I,

2025
01:37:37,439 --> 01:37:39,240
Speaker 5: at least from what we've seen, I haven't seen a

2026
01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:42,600
Speaker 5: huge step forward from him. So yeah, I agree with you.

2027
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:46,280
Speaker 5: I think if if this ends up going Daniel Jones way,

2028
01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:49,680
Speaker 5: it will tell me that there's whatever they say, it

2029
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:52,800
Speaker 5: will tell me that that Anthony Richardson didn't do enough

2030
01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:54,680
Speaker 5: to keep a job. Like, I'm with you. I was

2031
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:58,439
Speaker 5: up until that play against the Ravens, I was thinking, well,

2032
01:37:58,720 --> 01:37:59,960
Speaker 5: I definitely go to the incumbent.

2033
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:05,400
Speaker 3: That that made me start wondering, here's a better question, Joe.

2034
01:38:05,520 --> 01:38:08,760
Speaker 3: Let's just we're gonna be real here, right, you and I.

2035
01:38:08,960 --> 01:38:10,880
Speaker 3: Right now, we're just gonna be nothing but a couple

2036
01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:12,160
Speaker 3: of guys rolling around eating.

2037
01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:15,839
Speaker 1: George web Burgers. Right run, We're on to Burger number thirteen,

2038
01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 1: and we're just solving the world's problems driving from you know,

2039
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:23,200
Speaker 1: Eau Claire to Whitefish Bay, right, just just two guys

2040
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:25,040
Speaker 1: hanging out. And then we're gonna go to a J

2041
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:26,920
Speaker 1: Bombers and we're gonna eat burgers there too, and we're

2042
01:38:26,920 --> 01:38:31,400
Speaker 1: gonna have a spotted cow. Okay, sounds great. Regardless of

2043
01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:33,679
Speaker 1: which quarterback they go with, there is not enough body

2044
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:36,120
Speaker 1: of work within those two quarterbacks to believe they can

2045
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:38,120
Speaker 1: win more than eleven games this year, and this as

2046
01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:39,920
Speaker 1: a result, the cults are right back next year to

2047
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:42,600
Speaker 1: square one. Your thoughts, Yeah, I think so.

2048
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:49,960
Speaker 5: The only caveat to that is if Anthony Richardson wins

2049
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:52,920
Speaker 5: the job and they win eleven games, even if it's

2050
01:38:53,640 --> 01:38:57,640
Speaker 5: somewhat in spite of him, even if he's not the

2051
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:01,559
Speaker 5: driving force to it, I would think that that would

2052
01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:04,640
Speaker 5: mean he's played well enough that you'd go, there may still.

2053
01:39:04,479 --> 01:39:09,479
Speaker 1: Be something here. Yeah, I don't disagree with that. I

2054
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:13,320
Speaker 1: think here's the thing. I think the Richardson aspect of

2055
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:16,920
Speaker 1: there might be something here is the entire reason why

2056
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 1: he is going to get continued time to show it,

2057
01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:24,600
Speaker 1: because you just you know what I mean, Like you,

2058
01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 1: it's like the it's like the George Web place. I mean,

2059
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:30,240
Speaker 1: if there's the one joint that used to be at

2060
01:39:30,240 --> 01:39:32,040
Speaker 1: George Web, you might as well go there because there's

2061
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:34,400
Speaker 1: a chance you might get a burger, right m hm.

2062
01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:37,879
Speaker 1: And so you've got to I think they just continue

2063
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:42,320
Speaker 1: to be intrigued by the what could be. Yeah, and the.

2064
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 2: Ceiling.

2065
01:39:44,439 --> 01:39:46,640
Speaker 5: You see it on the practice field sometimes you can

2066
01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:49,360
Speaker 5: see that it's it's higher, although we haven't really seen

2067
01:39:49,439 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 5: any of the you know, moonshot deep balls that we

2068
01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:56,920
Speaker 5: talked about last year, like the one against Houston, but

2069
01:39:57,400 --> 01:39:59,680
Speaker 5: you still see that there's that part of it is

2070
01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:01,680
Speaker 5: in he's more willing to throw the ball down the

2071
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:05,479
Speaker 5: field when he's completing that you know, the the two

2072
01:40:05,560 --> 01:40:07,600
Speaker 5: minute driller at the end of a terrible practice for

2073
01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:10,960
Speaker 5: the offense yesterday against the Packers. They went right down

2074
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:13,599
Speaker 5: the field and scored and he was ripping the ball

2075
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:18,160
Speaker 5: down the field. It's that I think I agree with you.

2076
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:21,519
Speaker 5: I think you still think, you know what, we drafted

2077
01:40:21,560 --> 01:40:23,400
Speaker 5: this guy because we thought he could hit this ceiling.

2078
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:26,240
Speaker 5: Let's see if he can hit the ceiling unless this

2079
01:40:26,439 --> 01:40:28,599
Speaker 5: other guy comes in and very clearly beats him out.

2080
01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:33,080
Speaker 5: That's where I was. That's where I was, and kind

2081
01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:36,519
Speaker 5: of still am. I just find myself wondering if if

2082
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:38,479
Speaker 5: there's stuff going on behind the scenes that we haven't

2083
01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:41,479
Speaker 5: heard about and haven't seen, because you know, last season

2084
01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:46,000
Speaker 5: at this time of year, we were talking about shoot.

2085
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:49,679
Speaker 5: I wrote a story with quoting like seven coats people

2086
01:40:49,680 --> 01:40:51,760
Speaker 5: who are like Anthony Richardson has taken a huge step

2087
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 5: forward in terms of all the behind the scenes stuff,

2088
01:40:55,120 --> 01:40:57,160
Speaker 5: and that's what they were saying in training camp, and

2089
01:40:57,200 --> 01:40:58,679
Speaker 5: then we got to the regular season he got bench

2090
01:40:58,720 --> 01:41:03,400
Speaker 5: for two games. So there's there's a there's some grain

2091
01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:07,960
Speaker 5: of salt stuff I'm taking with with this whole quarterback

2092
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,160
Speaker 5: competition and probably will be even after they make a

2093
01:41:10,200 --> 01:41:15,000
Speaker 5: decision that. Frankly, it's it's not because I'm I'm being skeptical,

2094
01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:16,280
Speaker 5: it's because it happened last year.

2095
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 1: The Now, what was that Eddie you were just saying about.

2096
01:41:20,439 --> 01:41:21,599
Speaker 1: It was Quentin Nelson, right.

2097
01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:24,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just telling Jake Joel that, you know,

2098
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:27,640
Speaker 3: last weekend, Quentin Nelson met with you guys and he

2099
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:30,400
Speaker 3: was asked about what he's seen from Richardson. He said

2100
01:41:30,439 --> 01:41:32,320
Speaker 3: that this is his best camp yet. So are you

2101
01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:35,640
Speaker 3: taking that with green and salt considering I I personally do,

2102
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:38,719
Speaker 3: just because Nelson's not one of those types that outreally

2103
01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:41,120
Speaker 3: gush is about players and the way that he did,

2104
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:43,280
Speaker 3: and he's one of the biggest voices in the locker

2105
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:44,719
Speaker 3: room on the offensive side of the football.

2106
01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:49,400
Speaker 5: I I do think though that Quentin does. Quenton is

2107
01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:55,720
Speaker 5: generally going to defend his teammate, say his teammate, say

2108
01:41:55,760 --> 01:41:59,120
Speaker 5: the great things about his teammates. In my estimation, he's

2109
01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:02,439
Speaker 5: not going to gush about other things, but that is

2110
01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:04,439
Speaker 5: the one thing he will gush about as his teammates.

2111
01:42:04,760 --> 01:42:08,479
Speaker 5: And like I said, I maybe it's all maybe it's

2112
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:11,560
Speaker 5: all true this year, but I still have to Like

2113
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:14,400
Speaker 5: I said, I'm still a little burned by hearing a

2114
01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:17,840
Speaker 5: bunch of stuff last year and then seven weeks later,

2115
01:42:18,240 --> 01:42:24,080
Speaker 5: we're going through a benching for issues of preparation and

2116
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:27,120
Speaker 5: attention to detail. Right, I'm going wait a minute, you

2117
01:42:27,160 --> 01:42:29,280
Speaker 5: guys told me the opposite just like two months ago.

2118
01:42:30,800 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that is there an element Quentin Nelson is.

2119
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:38,719
Speaker 1: Let me, we're gonna do a little Jake Querry Freudian

2120
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 1: overthinks at three twenty eight in the morning, deep thoughts

2121
01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:43,800
Speaker 1: you ready. I have a lot of this.

2122
01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:46,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a lot of these deep thoughts, Joel

2123
01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 3: outside the box level thoughts one of them. For example,

2124
01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:51,000
Speaker 3: yesterday when I saw you, it was it yesterday? I

2125
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:52,439
Speaker 3: saw you at camp they all run together. I think

2126
01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:55,040
Speaker 3: it was yesterday, right, Yeah, And I said to myself,

2127
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:57,200
Speaker 3: this guy looks like Hollywood. I don't know what you've

2128
01:42:57,200 --> 01:43:00,559
Speaker 3: been doing lately, but the chin will look fairly chiseled,

2129
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:03,680
Speaker 3: and you were tan. And is it the sunglasses you

2130
01:43:03,720 --> 01:43:06,000
Speaker 3: had on? I mean, non creepy here, But I was

2131
01:43:06,040 --> 01:43:07,679
Speaker 3: thinking to myself, you look like kind of a movie

2132
01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:09,960
Speaker 3: star type. Has anybody told you your wife, anybody told

2133
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:11,320
Speaker 3: you lately you're looking like a movie star.

2134
01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:17,639
Speaker 5: I generally, I generally think that I would have been

2135
01:43:17,720 --> 01:43:19,599
Speaker 5: a movie like that. I generally get told by people

2136
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:21,840
Speaker 5: who are in there, like sixties and seventies, that I

2137
01:43:21,880 --> 01:43:23,640
Speaker 5: look like a movie star. So maybe I'm from like

2138
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 5: a different era.

2139
01:43:25,479 --> 01:43:27,519
Speaker 1: James Garder walking around, You're like, you know what I mean,

2140
01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:28,639
Speaker 1: You're Rockford Files.

2141
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:29,800
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.

2142
01:43:29,840 --> 01:43:32,400
Speaker 1: From now on, every time that Joel comes on, we're

2143
01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:37,200
Speaker 1: playing the Rockford Files theme. Because nothing speaks twenty twenty

2144
01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 1: five radio like referencing a show from nineteen seventy four.

2145
01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:43,479
Speaker 1: I mean that packs them in, right, I mean between

2146
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:45,720
Speaker 1: radio and newspaper. What the hell, let's go ahead and

2147
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 1: talk about old ABC television while we're at it, right, Okay, Joel,

2148
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:53,160
Speaker 1: here's my deep thought though. Quentin Nelson is a leader

2149
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:54,920
Speaker 1: of this team, right, I mean, he's one of the

2150
01:43:54,960 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 1: guys that's on the JW. He's a captain. I assume

2151
01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:01,840
Speaker 1: he's a veteran leader of the team. Is it in

2152
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:05,679
Speaker 1: his best interest to simply speak up for and talk

2153
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:09,320
Speaker 1: up in Anthony Richardson almost in hopes that that's what

2154
01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:10,200
Speaker 1: lights the fire.

2155
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:15,760
Speaker 5: I I think I think that the way Quenton would

2156
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:17,519
Speaker 5: look at it, the way most players would look at

2157
01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:20,519
Speaker 5: it is not not just in the hopes that it

2158
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:24,200
Speaker 5: lights the fire, but generally the way they the way

2159
01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:28,160
Speaker 5: they think about things is project strength and optimism outward,

2160
01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:31,000
Speaker 5: deal with stuff behind the scenes.

2161
01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:31,600
Speaker 13: You know.

2162
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:35,760
Speaker 5: And and Nelson, to my understanding, is the guy is

2163
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:38,120
Speaker 5: the one of the guys who deals with things behind

2164
01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:41,280
Speaker 5: the scenes when it needs to be said. But yeah,

2165
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:44,800
Speaker 5: this is kind of what athletes do. This is kind

2166
01:44:44,800 --> 01:44:47,480
Speaker 5: of what athletes do. Is they they sound really optimistic,

2167
01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:51,360
Speaker 5: and then they sound really optimistic. No, matter what, And

2168
01:44:51,439 --> 01:44:53,080
Speaker 5: then you have to try to figure out what way

2169
01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:56,439
Speaker 5: why this optimistic thing that somebody said is different than

2170
01:44:56,479 --> 01:44:57,920
Speaker 5: this other optimistic thing they said.

2171
01:44:58,360 --> 01:45:03,880
Speaker 1: By the way, right here, let's just Joe watch your

2172
01:45:03,920 --> 01:45:05,240
Speaker 1: new theme song, right.

2173
01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:06,040
Speaker 7: I love it?

2174
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:08,559
Speaker 1: And I realize I'm the only one of the three

2175
01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:11,080
Speaker 1: of us in this equation that even knows what this is. Right.

2176
01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:14,080
Speaker 1: But jaymb's tapping his toe right now, I guarantee it right.

2177
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:19,320
Speaker 1: James Garner Joel a ericson James Garner literally separated at

2178
01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:21,439
Speaker 1: birth despite the sixty year age difference.

2179
01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:24,160
Speaker 5: I know, James Gardner. I don't know the Rockford Files.

2180
01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:24,600
Speaker 2: I'll admit it.

2181
01:45:24,680 --> 01:45:25,679
Speaker 5: I don't know the Rockford File.

2182
01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 1: No worries. That was his staple show. But again, I mean,

2183
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm actually almost too young for the Rockford Files, truth

2184
01:45:33,240 --> 01:45:36,200
Speaker 1: be told. But Joe, what area is? When you look

2185
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:38,880
Speaker 1: yesterday at the camp with Green Bay, and we had

2186
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:41,560
Speaker 1: talked about this being a potential concern going into it.

2187
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:43,920
Speaker 1: We make so much of the quarterback battle for the

2188
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:48,040
Speaker 1: Colts yesterday it seemed as though, and this has now

2189
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:51,640
Speaker 1: been I think kind of a theme intermittently, is the

2190
01:45:51,720 --> 01:45:53,759
Speaker 1: offensive line of concern for the Colts.

2191
01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a really good question. So I was,

2192
01:45:57,160 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 5: I was standing there talking to a friend of mine

2193
01:45:59,280 --> 01:46:01,160
Speaker 5: who covers the Packers. We've known each other for more

2194
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:02,759
Speaker 5: than a decade, and he's telling me, at the beginning

2195
01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:06,360
Speaker 5: of practice, you know, this Packers defensive line is really

2196
01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:08,240
Speaker 5: good against the run, but they can't rush the passer.

2197
01:46:09,120 --> 01:46:12,000
Speaker 5: And then almost immediately as as soon as he says that,

2198
01:46:12,760 --> 01:46:15,120
Speaker 5: the Packers reel off like four sacks in a row,

2199
01:46:16,520 --> 01:46:20,840
Speaker 5: and you know that that is concerning. Those are the

2200
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:25,640
Speaker 5: starters out there, the Packers. They don't really have, you know,

2201
01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:31,640
Speaker 5: a elite top ten edge rusher types. That one of

2202
01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:35,719
Speaker 5: the guys who had two sacks I think is Lucas

2203
01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:39,640
Speaker 5: van Ness, who, in my understanding is kind of a

2204
01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:42,320
Speaker 5: player that Packers fans would like to see take a

2205
01:46:42,400 --> 01:46:44,400
Speaker 5: step because he hasn't done enough as a first round pick.

2206
01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:46,960
Speaker 5: So maybe he's taking that step and maybe he'll look

2207
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,720
Speaker 5: great later, but he hasn't so far. And the other

2208
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:53,080
Speaker 5: thing about it was it was I think they said,

2209
01:46:53,360 --> 01:46:54,960
Speaker 5: I think one of the Packers writers said that like

2210
01:46:55,840 --> 01:46:58,160
Speaker 5: nine different guys they head down for a sack or

2211
01:46:58,200 --> 01:47:00,960
Speaker 5: something like that. That's that it's pretty up and down.

2212
01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 5: That's not just a one position issue that was yesterday

2213
01:47:04,600 --> 01:47:07,320
Speaker 5: was bad from a protection standpoint, and it does make

2214
01:47:07,360 --> 01:47:10,519
Speaker 5: you wonder. Yeah, I just think.

2215
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:15,799
Speaker 1: That's the other thing that's hard to and I realize.

2216
01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:18,599
Speaker 1: I mean, look, i've been doing this radio show today

2217
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:20,479
Speaker 1: for three hours We've done you know, I've been on

2218
01:47:21,280 --> 01:47:24,840
Speaker 1: twelve hours this week, and eleven and a half of

2219
01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:27,200
Speaker 1: that is about the quarterback battle. And I realize that

2220
01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:30,400
Speaker 1: that becomes a tiring thing for me. It becomes a

2221
01:47:30,439 --> 01:47:32,160
Speaker 1: tiring thing for me. I think it becomes a tiring

2222
01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:34,960
Speaker 1: thing for Shane Steichen. But it's the most important position

2223
01:47:35,040 --> 01:47:37,680
Speaker 1: on the roster. But if you are struggling, say with

2224
01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:41,320
Speaker 1: the offensive line, when you're getting different, different defensive looks

2225
01:47:41,400 --> 01:47:45,479
Speaker 1: in there, then it does, in fairness, become even that

2226
01:47:45,600 --> 01:47:49,599
Speaker 1: much more difficult to truly assess where you are correct

2227
01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:52,240
Speaker 1: unless you've got to go with the guy that gives

2228
01:47:52,320 --> 01:47:55,559
Speaker 1: you the best flexibility if the line is playing porous,

2229
01:47:55,680 --> 01:47:57,200
Speaker 1: if that's the reality of what you're going to be

2230
01:47:57,240 --> 01:48:00,640
Speaker 1: in the regular season, right, Yeah, I think so.

2231
01:48:01,320 --> 01:48:03,120
Speaker 5: I think that if I think it's the if you're

2232
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:05,560
Speaker 5: the Colts, you probably chalk yesterday up to kind of

2233
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:09,200
Speaker 5: an aberration, you know, so far since Tony Soprano Junior

2234
01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:13,400
Speaker 5: has been here as the offensive line coach. They've they've

2235
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:17,280
Speaker 5: been pretty good upfront, with the exception of like right

2236
01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 5: guard last year when they couldn't figure it out after

2237
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:21,400
Speaker 5: Will Fries went down. But they've been pretty good upfront,

2238
01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:23,360
Speaker 5: and they've gotten better as they go along. I think

2239
01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:25,519
Speaker 5: if you're the Colts, you're betting on them to be that.

2240
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:29,120
Speaker 5: But you're right if they're not that. If they're what

2241
01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:32,680
Speaker 5: we saw yesterday, it almost doesn't matter who won the

2242
01:48:32,760 --> 01:48:34,360
Speaker 5: quarterback battle. I mean, isn't that what we saw in

2243
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:38,320
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two is is the if the offensive line

2244
01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:40,320
Speaker 5: goes down, it doesn't matter what the quarterback does. So

2245
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:44,639
Speaker 5: they they I would say, they're probably betting on past

2246
01:48:44,840 --> 01:48:48,080
Speaker 5: history with this staff on the offensive line, but they

2247
01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 5: better be right with that.

2248
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:52,920
Speaker 1: Bet is Ulyssa. Is Bentley the fourth going to make

2249
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:53,320
Speaker 1: the roster?

2250
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:58,880
Speaker 5: I don't think so, I do. I mean, I think

2251
01:48:58,920 --> 01:49:00,200
Speaker 5: you might be a practice squader.

2252
01:49:01,160 --> 01:49:06,680
Speaker 1: Yes, he's outstanding practice squad car eulease is you know how?

2253
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:08,880
Speaker 1: You know how you'll know if he's on the practice

2254
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:13,360
Speaker 1: squad you'll be able to smile the fabulous black cavendish

2255
01:49:13,400 --> 01:49:17,599
Speaker 1: of his pipe and you might actually see his horse

2256
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:19,400
Speaker 1: in the hitching post in the parking lot with his

2257
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:23,400
Speaker 1: photo stick. That's my Ulysses Bentley the Fourth. Eddie likes

2258
01:49:23,439 --> 01:49:26,760
Speaker 1: my Ulysses Bentley the Fourth Family voice. Do you like

2259
01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:29,760
Speaker 1: my voice, Joel on that I think it's great? Do

2260
01:49:29,800 --> 01:49:31,360
Speaker 1: you think it's better? Do you think it's better than

2261
01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:32,880
Speaker 1: my typical Wisconsinate voice?

2262
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:37,600
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, I'm kind of hoping that you listen to

2263
01:49:37,640 --> 01:49:39,559
Speaker 5: Bentley the Fourth is on this roster's that we get

2264
01:49:39,600 --> 01:49:40,160
Speaker 5: more of the voice.

2265
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:42,760
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, are you kidding me? If you listens

2266
01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:45,400
Speaker 1: and see I almost went with the s there. If

2267
01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:47,800
Speaker 1: you listen to Bentley the Fourth makes the roster, he's

2268
01:49:47,840 --> 01:49:49,040
Speaker 1: got to be on the I've got to have him

2269
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:51,760
Speaker 1: on the show Monday after and I've got to do

2270
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:52,800
Speaker 1: the voice to him, don't I.

2271
01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:54,439
Speaker 5: A thousand percent?

2272
01:49:54,640 --> 01:49:54,800
Speaker 8: Yeah?

2273
01:49:54,960 --> 01:49:58,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I can't be the only one that's ever done

2274
01:49:58,080 --> 01:49:58,720
Speaker 1: the voice to him.

2275
01:49:58,800 --> 01:49:58,880
Speaker 9: Right.

2276
01:49:58,960 --> 01:50:01,599
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, one of the proudest moments

2277
01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:04,479
Speaker 1: of my life was after I brought up the fact

2278
01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:07,639
Speaker 1: of Ulysses Bentley the Fourth and this character, and then

2279
01:50:07,720 --> 01:50:10,920
Speaker 1: someone pointed out to me after the Baltimore game that

2280
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:14,320
Speaker 1: they watched the Ravens game, and the Ravens broadcast and

2281
01:50:14,439 --> 01:50:17,439
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens broadcasters said, this guy sounds like he

2282
01:50:17,520 --> 01:50:20,320
Speaker 1: came from like the English Highlands, and I'm like, yes

2283
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:23,160
Speaker 1: they did. I kid you, not right? And do you

2284
01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:25,880
Speaker 1: know how hard it is to run, especially in your knickers.

2285
01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:31,599
Speaker 1: I mean he wears the pants for the polo grounds. Yeah,

2286
01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:34,040
Speaker 1: you gotta, you've He's got to make the roster for

2287
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:37,240
Speaker 1: if the culture listen, if Chris Ballard's listening right now,

2288
01:50:37,560 --> 01:50:41,360
Speaker 1: I have a message for Chris Ballard. Chris, I understand it.

2289
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:43,880
Speaker 1: I get that you have a roster to build. I

2290
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:47,040
Speaker 1: get that you have gotten a good wide receiver corps.

2291
01:50:47,040 --> 01:50:48,559
Speaker 1: I get that you've done a nice job with your

2292
01:50:48,600 --> 01:50:50,880
Speaker 1: defensive backs. But you got to give the people what

2293
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:53,600
Speaker 1: they want. Nobody with that fifty third man on the

2294
01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:56,439
Speaker 1: roster cares one iota about a long snapper or some

2295
01:50:56,600 --> 01:50:58,439
Speaker 1: fifth string tight end that's going to get in on

2296
01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:01,479
Speaker 1: gunner plays on special teams. What people want is the

2297
01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:07,960
Speaker 1: character on radio. And that's your list. Four right, Joel,

2298
01:51:08,200 --> 01:51:10,040
Speaker 1: here's my one o the questions and my last question

2299
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:12,920
Speaker 1: for you. The guy that you mentioned that your buddies

2300
01:51:12,960 --> 01:51:15,360
Speaker 1: that the longtime Packers writer nobody knows. You didn't mention

2301
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:17,519
Speaker 1: his name, so we're cool on this. Is he a

2302
01:51:17,680 --> 01:51:18,680
Speaker 1: native Wisconsin or.

2303
01:51:19,640 --> 01:51:21,919
Speaker 5: No, he's actually he's actually a native of Indiana.

2304
01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:25,600
Speaker 1: Oh really, Well that then this is also probably equally applicable,

2305
01:51:25,920 --> 01:51:26,640
Speaker 1: fat guy or not?

2306
01:51:30,439 --> 01:51:30,479
Speaker 2: No?

2307
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:33,840
Speaker 1: Okay, No, Well, and you're sure he's from Wisconsin in

2308
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:37,160
Speaker 1: Indiana because I mean, we're statistically playing with real fire here.

2309
01:51:39,479 --> 01:51:43,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure. Okay, I grew up here

2310
01:51:43,800 --> 01:51:44,799
Speaker 5: and lived there for a decade.

2311
01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:46,479
Speaker 1: Actually, I do have one other question for you, So

2312
01:51:46,520 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 1: I lied. That was not my last question, I assume

2313
01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:51,400
Speaker 1: because I was doing the lap yesterday walking around and

2314
01:51:51,520 --> 01:51:53,880
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, if there are states that would

2315
01:51:53,920 --> 01:51:56,560
Speaker 1: have state fairs. I love the Indiana State Fair. I

2316
01:51:56,640 --> 01:51:58,479
Speaker 1: love it. I've been three times this year. I love it.

2317
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:02,680
Speaker 1: It's a great tradition and it's totally fun. I have

2318
01:52:02,760 --> 01:52:04,640
Speaker 1: a great respect for the four age kids and the

2319
01:52:04,720 --> 01:52:07,479
Speaker 1: work that they do that goes into it. There's artwork

2320
01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:12,799
Speaker 1: on display, there's food out the wazoo. It's fantastic entertainment.

2321
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:16,719
Speaker 1: And I was thinking, if there are states, Minnesota apparently

2322
01:52:16,800 --> 01:52:19,519
Speaker 1: has an unbelievable state fair, but I would imagine the

2323
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:23,560
Speaker 1: Wisconsin State Fair is something to behold? Am I correct? I?

2324
01:52:24,320 --> 01:52:27,360
Speaker 5: So my family growing up went to the Northern Wisconsin

2325
01:52:27,439 --> 01:52:27,880
Speaker 5: State Fair.

2326
01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:30,200
Speaker 1: Oh see, the fair there is so big. There's two

2327
01:52:30,240 --> 01:52:30,920
Speaker 1: of them, is that right?

2328
01:52:31,600 --> 01:52:35,680
Speaker 5: There's the big Fair in Milwaukee and then there's the

2329
01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:38,040
Speaker 5: Northern Wisconsin. I am actually unaware if there is a

2330
01:52:38,120 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 5: Southern Wisconsin State Fair to make up for the Northern

2331
01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:43,439
Speaker 5: Wisconsin State Fair. I don't know if this is a

2332
01:52:43,479 --> 01:52:46,439
Speaker 5: subsidiary thing or whatever, but yeah, we grew up going

2333
01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:49,960
Speaker 5: to the Northern Wisconsin State Fair. I may have been

2334
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:52,320
Speaker 5: to the actual Wisconsin State Fair, but I don't remember

2335
01:52:52,400 --> 01:52:53,320
Speaker 5: it now.

2336
01:52:53,680 --> 01:52:55,000
Speaker 1: Is the Northern one a big one?

2337
01:52:57,320 --> 01:52:59,400
Speaker 5: It's not as big as say, the Indiana State Fair,

2338
01:52:59,439 --> 01:53:00,240
Speaker 5: but it's pretty big.

2339
01:53:00,520 --> 01:53:00,720
Speaker 2: You know.

2340
01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:04,680
Speaker 5: It's seventy sixty to seventy percent of the Indiana.

2341
01:53:04,400 --> 01:53:06,320
Speaker 1: State Fair mostly cheese on a stick. Right?

2342
01:53:07,720 --> 01:53:07,840
Speaker 11: Uh?

2343
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:08,760
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.

2344
01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:11,559
Speaker 5: If you you go to the Northern Wisconsin State Fair,

2345
01:53:11,640 --> 01:53:15,920
Speaker 5: you want to get there are like twenty seven little

2346
01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:18,519
Speaker 5: towns that all have their Knights of Columbus there, and

2347
01:53:18,640 --> 01:53:20,760
Speaker 5: they all make fried cheese herds and all of them

2348
01:53:20,800 --> 01:53:21,360
Speaker 5: are delicious.

2349
01:53:22,920 --> 01:53:25,760
Speaker 3: Okay, that is a right of passage in the state

2350
01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:29,360
Speaker 3: of Wisconsin for sure, all right, Joela Ericson, Joel, appreciate

2351
01:53:29,439 --> 01:53:31,840
Speaker 3: the time as always, will continue to look forward.

2352
01:53:31,880 --> 01:53:33,280
Speaker 1: When do you think we're going to have an answer

2353
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:33,879
Speaker 1: at quarterback?

2354
01:53:36,200 --> 01:53:39,400
Speaker 5: I think next week before the for the final preseason game.

2355
01:53:39,400 --> 01:53:40,920
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll see that.

2356
01:53:41,479 --> 01:53:43,280
Speaker 5: That might be optimistic, but I think that's what's going

2357
01:53:43,360 --> 01:53:43,679
Speaker 5: to happen.

2358
01:53:43,880 --> 01:53:46,960
Speaker 1: Obviously, Colts coverage continuing in the Indie Star with preseason

2359
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:50,840
Speaker 1: game number two with the Colts and the Packers. Appreciate it, Joel, Yep,

2360
01:53:50,880 --> 01:53:51,280
Speaker 1: sounds good.

2361
01:53:51,320 --> 01:53:52,040
Speaker 5: We'll see Jake.

2362
01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:54,400
Speaker 1: Joel a Erickson joining us on the program. And I'm

2363
01:53:54,439 --> 01:53:56,840
Speaker 1: sure each time do you think it's possible? And I

2364
01:53:57,040 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 1: think it is, Eddie, do you think it's possible that

2365
01:53:59,840 --> 01:54:02,000
Speaker 1: most of the time that Joel gets off the phone

2366
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:03,880
Speaker 1: with us, he says to himself, that's the last time

2367
01:54:03,880 --> 01:54:04,639
Speaker 1: I'm doing that show.

2368
01:54:04,760 --> 01:54:07,800
Speaker 3: Well, whenever I text him like, hey, would you mind

2369
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:10,880
Speaker 3: hopping on with Jacob you know whatever Tomorrow Friday Day,

2370
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:14,360
Speaker 3: there's always an exclamation point in terms of excitement going into.

2371
01:54:14,240 --> 01:54:17,040
Speaker 1: It from you or from him. From him no, it's

2372
01:54:17,040 --> 01:54:19,880
Speaker 1: always like yeah or yes or sure I can do now.

2373
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:23,719
Speaker 1: I think deep down, like when he and I'm assuming

2374
01:54:23,760 --> 01:54:25,640
Speaker 1: that when he goes out in public and people now

2375
01:54:25,720 --> 01:54:27,320
Speaker 1: are going to know because they're they're gonna say, oh,

2376
01:54:27,320 --> 01:54:29,360
Speaker 1: it's James Garner. But when he goes out in public,

2377
01:54:29,360 --> 01:54:30,559
Speaker 1: I think people are going to walk up to him

2378
01:54:30,560 --> 01:54:32,120
Speaker 1: and say, is that the last time you do that show.

2379
01:54:34,080 --> 01:54:36,720
Speaker 1: I think most people that come on here, there's probably

2380
01:54:36,800 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 1: some sympathy factor, right. They come on out of sympathy.

2381
01:54:39,400 --> 01:54:41,640
Speaker 3: Because we're such a dog and pony show with like

2382
01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:42,880
Speaker 3: thirty listeners.

2383
01:54:42,560 --> 01:54:45,080
Speaker 1: And yes, they're like they're like, oh, yeah, that's the

2384
01:54:45,120 --> 01:54:47,600
Speaker 1: guy that's got twenty four female listeners. We know that much.

2385
01:54:47,720 --> 01:54:50,200
Speaker 1: And then his mom and his girlfriend only listens because

2386
01:54:50,200 --> 01:54:52,200
Speaker 1: of the show that comes on after, so they come

2387
01:54:52,280 --> 01:54:54,680
Speaker 1: on out of sympathy. That's kind of how this works.

2388
01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 1: It is a Friday, you know what that means. Bottom

2389
01:54:57,560 --> 01:54:59,480
Speaker 1: of the hour on a Friday. It is a Franciscan

2390
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:01,640
Speaker 1: feel good, good for the heart Friday. And it's a

2391
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:03,760
Speaker 1: story that we told you a little about at the

2392
01:55:03,800 --> 01:55:05,480
Speaker 1: beginning of the week, but I love it so much

2393
01:55:06,160 --> 01:55:08,280
Speaker 1: it's worth repeating and it's one of the things that

2394
01:55:08,440 --> 01:55:11,600
Speaker 1: is close to my heart. Pardon the pun, I'll explain next.

2395
01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:16,760
Speaker 1: Look at you going with a little Huey Live right. Yeah,

2396
01:55:19,320 --> 01:55:22,600
Speaker 1: little upbeat for which it always should be. For our

2397
01:55:22,640 --> 01:55:26,680
Speaker 1: Franciscan Health, feel good, good for the heart Friday. You know,

2398
01:55:28,960 --> 01:55:32,080
Speaker 1: I mentioned the fact that I went to the White

2399
01:55:32,120 --> 01:55:34,240
Speaker 1: Sox game on Wednesday. I'm not a huge White Sox fan,

2400
01:55:34,280 --> 01:55:36,440
Speaker 1: but it's a tradition. I went to the State Fair

2401
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:36,840
Speaker 1: last night.

2402
01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:37,200
Speaker 6: We did her.

2403
01:55:37,840 --> 01:55:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm a tradition guy. My brain is weird like that,

2404
01:55:42,160 --> 01:55:46,640
Speaker 1: but I can appreciate and respect anybody that has something

2405
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:49,839
Speaker 1: that's a tradition, especially when it is for the betterment

2406
01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:53,320
Speaker 1: of others. And I'm going to get to that in

2407
01:55:53,520 --> 01:55:56,320
Speaker 1: just a second, but before that, I would like for

2408
01:55:56,480 --> 01:55:59,000
Speaker 1: folks to think about the tradition of taking care of

2409
01:55:59,080 --> 01:56:03,720
Speaker 1: your heart. Obviously when it comes to Franciscan and the

2410
01:56:03,800 --> 01:56:05,960
Speaker 1: great work that the folks at Franciscan Health do. And

2411
01:56:06,040 --> 01:56:07,680
Speaker 1: thank you to everybody that came out to the golf

2412
01:56:07,800 --> 01:56:10,600
Speaker 1: outing for example last week, where we raised money for

2413
01:56:10,680 --> 01:56:15,120
Speaker 1: the Franciscan Foundation and their Cancer Cares program. But from

2414
01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:19,520
Speaker 1: a heart standpoint, you're talking about number one, the number

2415
01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:22,080
Speaker 1: one heart program in Indiana for cardiology by health grades,

2416
01:56:22,200 --> 01:56:25,720
Speaker 1: number one in Indiana for interventional coronary care in major

2417
01:56:25,760 --> 01:56:28,840
Speaker 1: cardiac surgery by care checks, and they have the forty

2418
01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:32,520
Speaker 1: nine dollars heart scan and so many people. I mean again,

2419
01:56:32,640 --> 01:56:36,760
Speaker 1: last week somebody sent me something on the expost Twitter. Hey,

2420
01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:39,320
Speaker 1: I got the heart scan, my calcium score was higher

2421
01:56:39,320 --> 01:56:42,760
Speaker 1: than I thought and got immediately into the system for

2422
01:56:42,960 --> 01:56:45,640
Speaker 1: the heart hit health risk assessment. You get that as well,

2423
01:56:45,720 --> 01:56:47,400
Speaker 1: So you go in for forty nine dollars. It's not

2424
01:56:47,520 --> 01:56:50,400
Speaker 1: invasive the heart scan, so there's really nothing to It

2425
01:56:50,480 --> 01:56:53,160
Speaker 1: takes about ten or fifteen minutes. You can self refer,

2426
01:56:53,280 --> 01:56:55,880
Speaker 1: you can pay out a pocket You get the heart scan,

2427
01:56:56,080 --> 01:56:59,120
Speaker 1: and then with it you also get from Franciscan the

2428
01:56:59,240 --> 01:57:02,160
Speaker 1: roadmap if you will the heart health risk assessment. Hey,

2429
01:57:02,200 --> 01:57:05,440
Speaker 1: here's where things stand for you and Jake. That's great.

2430
01:57:05,800 --> 01:57:08,720
Speaker 1: Who should be thinking about this were really anybody over forty.

2431
01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:12,000
Speaker 1: But in addition to that, in particular, if you are

2432
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:15,680
Speaker 1: like me and you had genetic history, family history of

2433
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:19,800
Speaker 1: cardiovascular disease, if you are a former smoker, if you

2434
01:57:19,880 --> 01:57:22,800
Speaker 1: are somebody who's dealt with diabetes or obesity, those are

2435
01:57:22,880 --> 01:57:25,720
Speaker 1: all key factors and areas. But I would suggest it

2436
01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:28,800
Speaker 1: for really anybody, just for that peace of mind of

2437
01:57:28,880 --> 01:57:32,640
Speaker 1: knowing where you are from a heart standpoint, and the

2438
01:57:32,720 --> 01:57:36,120
Speaker 1: most important muscle in the body really the heart. And

2439
01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:40,080
Speaker 1: every once in a while I come across a story

2440
01:57:40,200 --> 01:57:42,200
Speaker 1: that it makes you feel good in the heart, right,

2441
01:57:42,320 --> 01:57:45,720
Speaker 1: It's a feel good story. And I want to tell

2442

2444
01:57:57,880 --> 01:58:00,440

Speaker 1: a lot of kids, a lot of young people, for

2449
01:58:17,600 --> 01:58:20,120
Speaker 1: whatever reason, athletics might not be in the cards for them.

2450
01:58:21,280 --> 01:58:24,120
Speaker 1: We all have that ceiling that we reach. Unless you

2451
01:58:24,200 --> 01:58:26,839
Speaker 1: are somebody who goes into professional sports where you realize

2452
01:58:26,920 --> 01:58:29,800
Speaker 1: that your dreams of being the quarterback, the point guard,

2453
01:58:29,880 --> 01:58:33,360
Speaker 1: whatever it might be, you know others are better athletes

2454
01:58:33,440 --> 01:58:35,120
Speaker 1: than you. You're not fast enough, you're not big enough,

2455
01:58:35,160 --> 01:58:40,360
Speaker 1: strong enough, whatever it may be. And then obviously there

2456
01:58:40,440 --> 01:58:45,280
Speaker 1: are kids that get they never even get the opportunity

2457
01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:47,960
Speaker 1: from the get go to participate in sports and we've

2458
01:58:48,000 --> 01:58:49,960
Speaker 1: talked a lot about I think the importance of just

2459
01:58:50,040 --> 01:58:53,000
Speaker 1: making sure that everybody feels that involvement. And that's what

2460
01:58:53,200 --> 01:58:57,440
Speaker 1: sports is about. You know, when I was talking about

2461
01:58:59,400 --> 01:59:01,240
Speaker 1: the concert that I go to, and the things that

2462
01:59:01,280 --> 01:59:02,960
Speaker 1: I enjoyed about that are the fact that you have

2463
01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:05,400
Speaker 1: people from all different walks of life, but yet a

2464
01:59:05,560 --> 01:59:09,640
Speaker 1: song comes on and everybody in unison is singing that

2465
01:59:09,800 --> 01:59:13,560
Speaker 1: song along. And yes, a song may mean to me

2466
01:59:13,920 --> 01:59:15,880
Speaker 1: a different memory than what it means to the person

2467
01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:18,440
Speaker 1: next to me, but it means a memory nonetheless, And

2468
01:59:18,520 --> 01:59:23,480
Speaker 1: so music is it ties us together, and sports should

2469
01:59:23,560 --> 01:59:28,200
Speaker 1: be the same way. Sports should be about the opportunity

2470
01:59:28,280 --> 01:59:31,360
Speaker 1: for people to put their differences aside because they root

2471
01:59:31,440 --> 01:59:35,120
Speaker 1: for the same team, they enjoy the same moments they

2472
01:59:35,880 --> 01:59:41,280
Speaker 1: you know, they find the same euphoria within a common arena,

2473
01:59:42,120 --> 01:59:45,160
Speaker 1: and that should not be limited to somebody just based

2474
01:59:45,320 --> 01:59:50,400
Speaker 1: on either their physical or even necessarily their intellectual capability.

2475
01:59:51,400 --> 01:59:53,200
Speaker 1: And that's why I was so happy to hear about

2476
01:59:53,280 --> 01:59:57,440
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Lily and Danielle and Claudee, because they are

2477
01:59:57,800 --> 02:00:02,400
Speaker 1: five young women who love sorts being around it, but

2478
02:00:02,680 --> 02:00:06,800
Speaker 1: never never had the opportunity to participate in it at

2479
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:10,920
Speaker 1: the highest level in terms of their schooling. But you've

2480
02:00:10,960 --> 02:00:13,800
Speaker 1: heard me talking about Special Olympics and the importance of

2481
02:00:13,840 --> 02:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Special Olympics and involvement and allowing for everyone to be

2482
02:00:17,960 --> 02:00:22,360
Speaker 1: able to feel that bond within sports and feel that

2483
02:00:22,440 --> 02:00:26,120
Speaker 1: accomplishment and feel that self importance and worth of having

2484
02:00:26,160 --> 02:00:28,720
Speaker 1: a goal and setting it out And what I always say,

2485
02:00:28,840 --> 02:00:32,800
Speaker 1: one person's forty yard dash is another person's marathon. It's

2486
02:00:32,840 --> 02:00:36,000
Speaker 1: about personal accomplishment. And I love the fact that the

2487
02:00:36,080 --> 02:00:40,000
Speaker 1: Indiana Fever and their tradition, it's about tradition with sports

2488
02:00:40,080 --> 02:00:43,200
Speaker 1: sometimes and their tradition. The Indiana Fever and their general

2489
02:00:43,280 --> 02:00:47,720
Speaker 1: manager Ambercox presented five members of the Hamilton County Special

2490
02:00:47,800 --> 02:00:52,400
Speaker 1: Olympics Women's basketball team, Kelsey, Lily, Danielle, Claudine, Maddie who

2491
02:00:52,480 --> 02:00:56,200
Speaker 1: have played basketball. Basketball means just as much to them

2492
02:00:56,320 --> 02:00:59,360
Speaker 1: as it does for other girls. But they had the

2493
02:00:59,440 --> 02:01:01,760
Speaker 1: opportunity to go out and for Maddie Long, I know,

2494
02:01:01,840 --> 02:01:04,760
Speaker 1: for example, how much Caitlin Clark means to her in Iowa,

2495
02:01:04,880 --> 02:01:08,440
Speaker 1: basketball means to her. So the opportunity to go and

2496
02:01:08,720 --> 02:01:11,520
Speaker 1: not only go to Gambridge Field House, not only get

2497
02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:14,920
Speaker 1: the opportunity to see the Fever practice, to be around

2498
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:20,280
Speaker 1: the Fever, but then to get an honorary contract and

2499
02:01:20,400 --> 02:01:25,640
Speaker 1: to become with a personalized jersey, a contract signing, and

2500
02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:29,200
Speaker 1: to be teammates with the Indiana Fever players. For those

2501
02:01:29,360 --> 02:01:34,440
Speaker 1: five girls, you would think that it begins and ends

2502
02:01:34,720 --> 02:01:38,360
Speaker 1: with the lesson and the accomplishment and the pride for

2503
02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:41,400
Speaker 1: those five girls, But it's more than that, because for

2504
02:01:41,520 --> 02:01:46,000
Speaker 1: the Fever, it also there's a system of reciprocity here

2505
02:01:46,240 --> 02:01:50,120
Speaker 1: in terms of that bond and that accomplishment that goes

2506
02:01:50,280 --> 02:01:54,160
Speaker 1: with seeing young girls being able to achieve their dream

2507
02:01:54,560 --> 02:01:57,680
Speaker 1: even for just a one day contract. For example, Stephanie White,

2508
02:01:57,960 --> 02:02:00,320
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Indiana Fever, joined us this

2509
02:02:00,400 --> 02:02:02,800
Speaker 1: week and I asked her exactly that, Stephanie, isn't this

2510
02:02:02,880 --> 02:02:07,000
Speaker 1: an example is it not of the franchise benefiting from

2511
02:02:07,080 --> 02:02:09,280
Speaker 1: helping these young girls as much as the young girls

2512
02:02:09,360 --> 02:02:10,760
Speaker 1: benefit from being around the Fever.

2513
02:02:11,120 --> 02:02:12,080
Speaker 5: It absolutely was.

2514
02:02:12,280 --> 02:02:15,320
Speaker 13: And to see these young women come in and watch

2515
02:02:15,440 --> 02:02:20,400
Speaker 13: practice and the signing of the contracts after practice, and

2516
02:02:20,480 --> 02:02:24,440
Speaker 13: their excitement and our team's excitement and welcome, welcome, welcoming

2517
02:02:24,520 --> 02:02:28,120
Speaker 13: them into our team and into our family, it was.

2518
02:02:28,240 --> 02:02:30,320
Speaker 14: I mean, you know, everything that we do certainly.

2519
02:02:30,160 --> 02:02:34,720
Speaker 5: Is is about basketball, but most things.

2520
02:02:34,520 --> 02:02:36,720
Speaker 14: That we do are bigger than basketball, and that was

2521
02:02:36,760 --> 02:02:39,600
Speaker 14: certainly one of them. And the impact that you can

2522
02:02:39,680 --> 02:02:42,320
Speaker 14: make in the lives of others is top of the list.

2523
02:02:42,440 --> 02:02:44,680
Speaker 14: And it really was a cool experience.

2524
02:02:45,200 --> 02:02:50,480
Speaker 1: Again, I think the important lesson here is this, in fact,

2525
02:02:50,840 --> 02:02:54,080
Speaker 1: it's about just impacting others, and I would ask each

2526
02:02:54,120 --> 02:02:56,120
Speaker 1: and every one of you to keep that in mind,

2527
02:02:56,440 --> 02:02:59,560
Speaker 1: even if it's just a little thing this weekend or

2528
02:02:59,720 --> 02:03:04,000
Speaker 1: the coming week, whatever it might be. Where for a

2529
02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:06,600
Speaker 1: moment that for you might just be a one day

2530
02:03:06,680 --> 02:03:11,520
Speaker 1: contract to somebody else, it's a lifetime difference. And that's

2531
02:03:11,600 --> 02:03:14,120
Speaker 1: the beauty of sport and the opportunity that can bond

2532
02:03:14,240 --> 02:03:17,240
Speaker 1: all of us together. And that's why that story made

2533
02:03:17,280 --> 02:03:19,440
Speaker 1: me feel good. We'll come back, we'll talk a little

2534
02:03:19,440 --> 02:03:21,200
Speaker 1: more about the Colts. We'll hand it off to John

2535
02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:26,640
Speaker 1: as well. Next, Eddie, what's your big plan for the weekend. Obviously,

2536
02:03:26,720 --> 02:03:30,960
Speaker 1: you have fever obligations tonight, correct, I do have Fever

2537
02:03:31,080 --> 02:03:34,040
Speaker 1: to night seven point fifteen against the Mystics, and then

2538
02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:37,720
Speaker 1: they're on the road against Connecticut on Sunday, going up

2539
02:03:37,760 --> 02:03:43,920
Speaker 1: to Fort Wayne on Saturday in the afternoon and then

2540
02:03:44,200 --> 02:03:45,960
Speaker 1: outside of that not a whole lot, how about you, Jake.

2541
02:03:48,240 --> 02:03:50,840
Speaker 1: So this is my last weekend at home for a

2542
02:03:50,920 --> 02:03:55,040
Speaker 1: couple of weekends because of IndyCar finishing. So I am

2543
02:03:55,160 --> 02:03:58,720
Speaker 1: going We're just going to dinner tonight and then tomorrow

2544
02:03:58,720 --> 02:04:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to a show at Rock the Room Mo

2545
02:04:01,360 --> 02:04:04,200
Speaker 1: and Eggy or Eggie and Mo depending on which one

2546
02:04:04,360 --> 02:04:07,160
Speaker 1: is the bigger. I'm not overly familiar with either act,

2547
02:04:07,360 --> 02:04:10,960
Speaker 1: but I do enjoy Rock the Ruins so and live music,

2548
02:04:11,040 --> 02:04:12,720
Speaker 1: so we're gonna go check that out. And then obviously

2549
02:04:13,560 --> 02:04:18,640
Speaker 1: Colts Packers, which we will talk about thoroughly on Monday.

2550
02:04:19,480 --> 02:04:24,160
Speaker 1: Here's the question, are we going to have a general

2551
02:04:24,320 --> 02:04:27,080
Speaker 1: idea then by who it's going to be in the

2552
02:04:27,200 --> 02:04:31,480
Speaker 1: Big Quarterback Derby of twenty five? You think we'll have

2553
02:04:31,560 --> 02:04:36,920
Speaker 1: an idea because of either performance or injury? I would

2554
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:42,040
Speaker 1: well certainly hope not injury, but performance. I doesn't it

2555
02:04:42,160 --> 02:04:44,800
Speaker 1: seem like at this point if they still don't know,

2556
02:04:46,480 --> 02:04:47,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you would think that they've

2557
02:04:47,880 --> 02:04:50,480
Speaker 1: got to have an idea where they're leaning at Anthony Richardson,

2558
02:04:51,120 --> 02:04:53,440
Speaker 1: it's it's got to be somebody said it best. I

2559
02:04:53,520 --> 02:04:56,520
Speaker 1: thought earlier to me on social media, where they said,

2560
02:04:56,520 --> 02:04:58,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, is that golf shot that keeps you coming back?

2561
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:09,680
Speaker 1: I think that's perfectly SA. Yeah, you know, hey, Jake.

2562
02:05:09,840 --> 02:05:11,840
Speaker 1: To be fair, if James Gardner was still alive, he

2563
02:05:11,840 --> 02:05:16,160
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't remember the Rockford Files either. That from Andy Again,

2564
02:05:16,200 --> 02:05:18,120
Speaker 1: you can always text the program at two three, nine

2565
02:05:18,200 --> 02:05:21,960
Speaker 1: ten seventy. Thanks for all of those that have over

2566
02:05:22,040 --> 02:05:24,480
Speaker 1: the course of today. You can even send stuff like

2567
02:05:24,560 --> 02:05:27,320
Speaker 1: this from when we text to Jeff rab John's when

2568
02:05:27,320 --> 02:05:29,200
Speaker 1: we were talking to rab Johns. I realize your audience

2569
02:05:29,280 --> 02:05:31,480
Speaker 1: is largely IU fans, but wake me up when you're

2570
02:05:31,520 --> 02:05:34,720
Speaker 1: done talking about middle of the pack big team basketball. Okay,

2571
02:05:36,360 --> 02:05:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, Jake, Tony East is correct. Rome is amazing,

2572
02:05:41,720 --> 02:05:45,480
Speaker 1: the food is amazing, and there's history everywhere and everyone

2573
02:05:45,560 --> 02:05:49,160
Speaker 1: speaks English. I believe that. I think that probably would

2574
02:05:49,200 --> 02:05:56,160
Speaker 1: be Rome would be an incredible place to visit. Jake

2575
02:05:57,320 --> 02:06:00,320
Speaker 1: from earlier when we were giving away the spy in

2576
02:06:00,680 --> 02:06:04,480
Speaker 1: the Fantasy League, Jake has a car named Boo. I

2577
02:06:04,600 --> 02:06:06,760
Speaker 1: listen every day. That would be cat named Boo. That's

2578
02:06:06,760 --> 02:06:10,240
Speaker 1: simply a typo. Yes, that is correct, Steve, that's a

2579
02:06:10,920 --> 02:06:13,720
Speaker 1: if you know that, Mike. And here's the thing, is

2580
02:06:13,800 --> 02:06:18,720
Speaker 1: it weird? And be honest with me, is it weird

2581
02:06:18,760 --> 02:06:21,560
Speaker 1: when a guy says that that he's he has no dog,

2582
02:06:21,640 --> 02:06:24,160
Speaker 1: but he just has a cat. Cats are much easier

2583
02:06:24,200 --> 02:06:29,920
Speaker 1: to take care of they are? You have both? You

2584
02:06:30,040 --> 02:06:34,400
Speaker 1: favor which that's that's unfair to say. I mean, but

2585
02:06:34,480 --> 02:06:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean I'm saying cats or dogs, you're you're which one?

2586
02:06:39,120 --> 02:06:42,960
Speaker 1: Because I was I love dogs and I don't. I'm

2587
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:46,160
Speaker 1: not typically a cat guy, but once a cat like

2588
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:51,080
Speaker 1: picture as the person it's I mean, they're they're pretty,

2589
02:06:52,520 --> 02:06:55,240
Speaker 1: they're kind of dog like at least mine is. Is

2590
02:06:55,280 --> 02:06:57,200
Speaker 1: that unique? I don't know, I've never had another cat? Well,

2591
02:06:57,200 --> 02:07:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you only have you? So duh? What're the

2592
02:07:01,440 --> 02:07:02,560
Speaker 1: only one that stays at.

2593
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:04,040
Speaker 14: No?

2594
02:07:04,120 --> 02:07:06,360
Speaker 1: I get I know that. But what I'm saying is

2595
02:07:07,560 --> 02:07:11,280
Speaker 1: he like he is like a dog. I mean like

2596
02:07:11,360 --> 02:07:15,160
Speaker 1: he's he he sits right next to me, He hops around,

2597
02:07:15,200 --> 02:07:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, he walks right best to me. He does

2598
02:07:17,560 --> 02:07:19,840
Speaker 1: kind of hop around. Yeah, he moore waddles. He's a

2599
02:07:19,880 --> 02:07:23,960
Speaker 1: big fellaw. He is a large kiddy. I don't, Eddie,

2600
02:07:24,600 --> 02:07:26,400
Speaker 1: you've you've taken care of him a few times. I

2601
02:07:26,920 --> 02:07:29,120
Speaker 1: give him, I don't overfeed him. What am I doing

2602
02:07:29,240 --> 02:07:33,280
Speaker 1: Do you think he's just lazy? And do you blame him?

2603
02:07:33,600 --> 02:07:35,920
Speaker 1: And don't I mean, you know what a life right?

2604
02:07:36,560 --> 02:07:39,240
Speaker 1: I am very curious to see not just the quarterback

2605
02:07:39,440 --> 02:07:46,840
Speaker 1: battle on Saturday, but also to see the protection of

2606
02:07:46,920 --> 02:07:50,720
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And you know, this is it used to

2607
02:07:50,760 --> 02:07:53,480
Speaker 1: be when you had four preseason games, you kind of

2608
02:07:53,560 --> 02:07:55,320
Speaker 1: knew which one was the one that was the real

2609
02:07:55,440 --> 02:07:59,360
Speaker 1: test or the real glimpse of what was reality for

2610
02:07:59,440 --> 02:08:02,480
Speaker 1: the regular seat. And I think this game may be that.

2611
02:08:02,760 --> 02:08:05,960
Speaker 1: I mean in terms of and I know that we

2612
02:08:06,080 --> 02:08:08,240
Speaker 1: can't say that in terms of who starts at quarterback

2613
02:08:08,840 --> 02:08:12,720
Speaker 1: because of the injury to Richardson in Week one, and

2614
02:08:12,800 --> 02:08:14,520
Speaker 1: so therefore you're going to see a lot more of them.

2615
02:08:14,600 --> 02:08:16,280
Speaker 1: And we knew then that Jones was going to be

2616
02:08:16,320 --> 02:08:19,960
Speaker 1: the starter going into it. Here for week two, there's

2617
02:08:20,040 --> 02:08:22,400
Speaker 1: a lot of there are a lot of intriguing parts.

2618
02:08:22,440 --> 02:08:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm kind of intrigued as well to see what Green

2619
02:08:24,600 --> 02:08:28,840
Speaker 1: Bay does because they got absolutely annihilated by the Jets

2620
02:08:28,880 --> 02:08:31,200
Speaker 1: in week one of the preseason. No starters are playing

2621
02:08:31,240 --> 02:08:35,760
Speaker 1: for green Bay zero. You know that that should mean

2622
02:08:35,800 --> 02:08:39,160
Speaker 1: a one hundred yard game for Ulysses, right for who

2623
02:08:39,760 --> 02:08:43,360
Speaker 1: you Lissens Bentley A Ford. Yes, yeah, I would imagine

2624
02:08:43,440 --> 02:08:48,480
Speaker 1: this is his opportunity to ball out, as the kids say. Right,

2625
02:08:49,400 --> 02:08:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, and if you liss is Bentley the

2626
02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:57,280
Speaker 1: fourth has a big run or any moment at all

2627
02:08:57,480 --> 02:09:00,640
Speaker 1: in this game tomorrow against Green Bay. I one at

2628
02:09:00,920 --> 02:09:07,480
Speaker 1: least five texts and or tweets immediately telling me about it.

2629
02:09:08,320 --> 02:09:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm being serious. You're going to get a jersey if

2630
02:09:10,880 --> 02:09:11,680
Speaker 1: he makes the roster.

2631
02:09:11,840 --> 02:09:12,040
Speaker 5: Jake.

2632
02:09:12,440 --> 02:09:17,120
Speaker 1: Yes, Speaking of Bentley's, did you notice did you notice

2633
02:09:19,600 --> 02:09:24,000
Speaker 1: our parking garage in this building and they're using it

2634
02:09:24,240 --> 02:09:27,720
Speaker 1: for one of the buildings downtown. I don't know what's

2635
02:09:27,720 --> 02:09:29,920
Speaker 1: one of the hotels. I think is using it for

2636
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:33,600
Speaker 1: their overflow valet parking. Did you notice today that not one,

2637
02:09:33,720 --> 02:09:36,400
Speaker 1: not two, but three Bentley's are parked in our parking garage?

2638
02:09:36,440 --> 02:09:38,880
Speaker 1: I did not, Jake. I'm on the first level. I

2639
02:09:38,960 --> 02:09:42,280
Speaker 1: meant one more of them, and that would be Bentley fourth. Right,

2640
02:09:43,880 --> 02:09:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm serious. There are three Bentley's parked downstairs. Why do

2641
02:09:48,080 --> 02:09:51,880
Speaker 1: you have the upstairs parking? I don't. I'm downstairs. I'm

2642
02:09:51,920 --> 02:09:54,720
Speaker 1: just on the first level downstairs. I'm not on the second. Yeah,

2643
02:09:54,720 --> 02:09:56,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. But all of a sudden,

2644
02:09:56,360 --> 02:09:59,680
Speaker 1: now the whole, the whole lot is full and it

2645
02:10:00,040 --> 02:10:06,080
Speaker 1: it's like an exotic car lot. It's nice. Now here's

2646
02:10:06,120 --> 02:10:07,960
Speaker 1: my other question. We're going to play a quick game

2647
02:10:08,040 --> 02:10:09,680
Speaker 1: on the way out here before Jane Bee gets in

2648
02:10:09,880 --> 02:10:12,680
Speaker 1: of am I in the wrong? Okay? Oh boy, there's

2649

Speaker 1: a fun game to play, is Jake and the wrong folks?

2650
02:10:17,200 --> 02:10:18,800
Speaker 1: You let me know. I'm gonna let you folks be
