Speaker 1: On the Andy Moore Auto Motive Group potline, Greg, you've
Speaker 1: done this before? Is that cold? Or described as guerrilla advertising?
Speaker 1: What I just said.
Speaker 2: Earned media is what people are referring to it as
Speaker 2: these days.
Speaker 3: Okay, by the way, who is who is Toweley?
Speaker 2: Because because Tally I think of Tally, I think of
Speaker 2: a character from South Park.
Speaker 1: Tally is t a l L y. It's the robot
Speaker 1: that goes around Kroger and it sizes up the inventory
Speaker 1: in the store. It's one of those things that will
Speaker 1: replace human beings one of these days. It's like it's
Speaker 1: like Rosie. You know, Rosie from the Jetsons was like
Speaker 1: the Jetson's robot housekeeper. That's kind of what Tally is.
Speaker 2: So again, in your little, in your slight bit of
Speaker 2: somebody that it's playing, you still have left.
Speaker 3: Sure I am hearing this as Towley.
Speaker 2: Huh?
Speaker 3: Who is a character that.
Speaker 2: Had a significant weed have it on South Park? No?
Speaker 1: Hungry Tally is talllying up the inventory Inkroker right there, Like,
Speaker 1: I like my advertising idea to you.
Speaker 2: But by the way, the person that you need to
Speaker 2: reach out to is Eric Holder. No, it is not
Speaker 2: handle advertising, but he is affiliated with the Krogers.
Speaker 1: Well, I've called him out before, Greg, this would not
Speaker 1: be the first time. So you don't.
Speaker 2: Assume that the other group that is getting the biggest
Speaker 2: amount of free promotion without spending money with you would
Speaker 2: be the frequently mentioned Odin meat Locker.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. But they want they want to deal
Speaker 1: or remote with this show. Buddy, how about that?
Speaker 3: Well, as you well know, for the right price, that
Speaker 3: can happen.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt this Swatson Trouper family, that is Andrew
Speaker 1: and Isaac and Luke then Norm by the way too,
Speaker 1: they want a live show at the Odin meat Locker,
Speaker 1: which would be glorious. I think we all understand that. Hey,
Speaker 1: speaking of glorious, what have we gleaned today in Foxborough?
Speaker 1: Which I believe is your current location?
Speaker 2: It is my current I have in beautiful downtown Bosh
Speaker 2: as we speak. Now. This is where I tell you
Speaker 2: I was in the air when the practice was happening,
Speaker 2: So I was not at the practice today and so
Speaker 2: I'll be seeing these guys for the first time on Thursday,
Speaker 2: with no official team activity tomorrow. But what we did
Speaker 2: learn was more on Alec Pearce's ankle was what the
Speaker 2: pitching rotation is going to be in terms of quarterback play,
Speaker 2: with ar getting the first half and probably getting the
Speaker 2: second half and then flipping that, you know, for game
Speaker 2: number two, and that we won't see Daniel Jones at
Speaker 2: all during the course of the pre season.
Speaker 3: That is what we learned today.
Speaker 1: So we also learned today that evidently, according to Chris Baalder,
Speaker 1: the reports out there that Ali Pierce had a PRP
Speaker 1: injection for a second time, those were untrue. And all
Speaker 1: this doesn't really matter to me, And a lot of
Speaker 1: people say, well, it comes down to, you know, do
Speaker 1: they need an extra wide receiver or if they feel
Speaker 1: comfortable in Peers coming back. They don't, But Greg, I
Speaker 1: can just Hey, I'm here to tell everybody they need one.
Speaker 1: Go get it and address it, and address it right now.
Speaker 1: DJ Montgomery, not Liam Clifford, but address it right now.
Speaker 2: It's okay, but correct, and especially with a guy the
Speaker 2: caliber of Keenan Allen that again has a connection to
Speaker 2: Shane Steike and you know, it kind.
Speaker 3: Of makes too much sense.
Speaker 2: I have been with the group that thinks they can
Speaker 2: be fine if Alec Pears is fully healthy. And the
Speaker 2: longer this goes the more nervous I get about that.
Speaker 2: So if that prompts you to go the insurance policy're
Speaker 2: out and bring somebody in, then I'm all for it
Speaker 2: at this point.
Speaker 1: So what's your level of being nervous right now regarding
Speaker 1: that situation?
Speaker 4: Greg? Uh?
Speaker 3: But's the one through five and five being the worst.
Speaker 2: I'd say about a two or three really nervous than
Speaker 2: it was about two or three weeks now you are.
Speaker 1: That's that's a nervous Lanesville, Greg Ragstraw. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't want you to be nervous about that. I
Speaker 1: just I put it this way. We never really know
Speaker 1: with this group, this team, this organization, these players of
Speaker 1: this particular era until we actually and factually see them
Speaker 1: on the field. So I don't really hold my breath
Speaker 1: on a lot of this stuff.
Speaker 2: I'll go back to the to the practice I saw
Speaker 2: on Sunday that didn't have Alec Piers or didn't have
Speaker 2: Josh downs, and I saw the way the teams struggling
Speaker 2: to move the football, and I go, Okay, maybe it's
Speaker 2: time to bring somebody in. I had been on the
Speaker 2: other side of thinking all right, because I'm a big
Speaker 2: fan of Ashton dooland I know the role that Tyler
Speaker 2: Warren is going to play in the offense.
Speaker 3: Rank will think Nick Westbrook to Keene has looked good.
Speaker 2: I think he's got a solid spot on the roster.
Speaker 2: But knowing how much this team's going to run the football,
Speaker 2: knowing how much team is gonna bootleg the football, knowing
Speaker 2: how much this team's going to play a couple of
Speaker 2: side ends like you know what, I think they can
Speaker 2: be okay with the four wide receivers. You know that
Speaker 2: I think they have, including Alec Pierce. But I would
Speaker 2: say the longer the Pier situation goes on, the more
Speaker 2: you think about, all right, is it time to bring
Speaker 2: somebody else in?
Speaker 1: So Greg, Greg Strass got you covered. It's you and
Speaker 1: who else? Is it Rick on Thursday too? Or you
Speaker 1: and who and Lara?
Speaker 3: So last year is kind of musical chairs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this year.
Speaker 2: We have solidified things a little bit more.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 2: Rick will be with me on all three preseason games.
Speaker 2: Nice Lara will be on all three preseason games as
Speaker 2: she has been. Because al Michaels is not getting in
Speaker 2: any of our pockets. Ie Amazon Prime isn't dealing the
Speaker 2: game from us. I get to be on all three
Speaker 2: games as well, which I'm very fired up about as
Speaker 2: great Charles Albuckle, who I'm going to talk to at five. Obviously,
Speaker 2: he will be doing all of the games on radio
Speaker 2: this year.
Speaker 3: So you may say, all right, what does that mean
Speaker 3: for Rick Venturrey.
Speaker 2: During the course of the season, Rick will be on
Speaker 2: the postgame show with myself and Bill Brooks, which means
Speaker 2: I may have the easiest job in the Western Hemisphere
Speaker 2: because I get to ask Rick questions. I'll go get
Speaker 2: a snack in five minutes later, I'll come back and
Speaker 2: the populace is educated and we move on to the
Speaker 2: next one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love it too, because this also is something I've
Speaker 1: talked about. That means we get Rick a lot more
Speaker 1: on the pregame show, which I think is absolutely awesome.
Speaker 2: You will still get at least your two segments of Rick,
Speaker 2: if not more than that during the time.
Speaker 1: I have been told that we're going to get more
Speaker 1: than the two, because I think Rick loves Hey. We
Speaker 1: always leave a lot greg on the table in the
Speaker 1: pregame because he has to rush off and get set
Speaker 1: for the pregame show or the countdown to kick off part,
Speaker 1: and then the broadcast itself. But we're going to have
Speaker 1: a lot more Rick coming up this year, which is
Speaker 1: exciting as hell.
Speaker 2: And there's only two hours in that pregame show, so
Speaker 2: I'm not sure ricking it to all his material.
Speaker 3: In two hours.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: I love it though. Greg Gregstraw has got the preseason
Speaker 1: game number one coming up on Thursday. He is in
Speaker 1: Boston right now. He's on the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline.
Speaker 1: Anything else stand out to you? And I asked this
Speaker 1: question yesterday. I'm kind of curious what you think? Is
Speaker 1: it linebacker? Offensive line after a wide receiver where you
Speaker 1: question the depth and the personnel altogether. Are those two
Speaker 1: of the majors outside of wide receiver for you?
Speaker 3: That's it?
Speaker 2: The only question the starting five? I questioned the guys
Speaker 2: behind the starting five on the offensive line. I can
Speaker 2: tell you the starting five guys are gonna be right now.
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's gonna be Bernard Ryman, Quentin Nelson,
Speaker 2: Tander Borderlini, Matgins Olbus and Jalen Travis.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: You've got You've got Farmer you brought in. It's kind
Speaker 2: of an interior backup, and you've got Tucker that has
Speaker 2: played that position you've got Freeland that that hasn't had
Speaker 2: a chance to play much really frankly played more as
Speaker 2: a rookie three years ago than he has the last
Speaker 2: last couple of seasons, and injuries being being a part
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 3: I like the starting five.
Speaker 2: I get a little nervous about about, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: offensive line depth, but there's at least a more definitive
Speaker 2: pay I know who the five are compared to a
Speaker 2: linebacker where man, it is open season uh and and CJ.
Speaker 2: Allen having missed some time now kind of on both
Speaker 2: ends of training camp so far, that's a bit of
Speaker 2: a problem. And you know, there's just two guys that
Speaker 2: took snaps for the Colts and linebacker last year that
Speaker 2: are back, you know, Austin Agik that's probably more of
Speaker 2: a special teams player, and then Jalen Carlies who kind
Speaker 2: of had an opportunity last year and just injuries and
Speaker 2: allow that to happen. He barely saw the field a
Speaker 2: season ago. So right now it is open season in
Speaker 2: terms of linebacker for the Indianapolis Colts. So I'm probably
Speaker 2: a little more concerned with that that I have the
Speaker 2: offensive line.
Speaker 1: So Greg Gregs draw he is on the Andy Moore
Speaker 1: Automotive Group podline. A little bit of a preview too,
Speaker 1: because we're not too far away from the start of
Speaker 1: the high school football season. What's Week number one for you?
Speaker 3: Brownsberg and Lawrence North.
Speaker 2: That's too bad because they're not good those teams. Right Again,
Speaker 2: there is a there's very much a big six in
Speaker 2: terms of the six to eight teams locally, so those
Speaker 2: are two of them. Sena Grove Warren Central is also
Speaker 2: a Week one which is going to be tremendous. Parmel
Speaker 2: Place fishers in Week number one, and Westfield it's kind
Speaker 2: of other team I think deserves a mention in that group. Again,
Speaker 2: the top of the food chain in six A I
Speaker 2: think is as good as it has ever been in
Speaker 2: terms of number of really good teams we have locally this.
Speaker 1: Year, the Great Lakes Region elimination game is Kentucky and Indiana.
Speaker 1: The Indiana team represented is from Jasper, Indiana. It looks
Speaker 1: to be the Kentucky team is Oldham County. I would
Speaker 1: guess that's what it says on the.
Speaker 2: Jersey North Oldham and the east side of Louisville is
Speaker 2: where that.
Speaker 1: Is, Okay? Are they commonly very very high quality, high
Speaker 1: caliber athletically speaking, it is.
Speaker 2: A well to do suburb and it's become more of
Speaker 2: a suburb over the last couple of three decades. Usually
Speaker 2: the team representing Kentucky US from the Owensboro area. In
Speaker 2: other words, they and the Jasper kids might know each
Speaker 2: other a little bit. So this is the first time
Speaker 2: that I can remember that little league being represented in
Speaker 2: terms of the regional round of the tournament here in
Speaker 2: Indianapolis for per Se.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Jasper is trailing one nothing right now. They
Speaker 1: going into the third inning and that elimination game. As
Speaker 1: they got past the weather and they're back on the
Speaker 1: field up as you mentioned in Whitestown, Greg, Gregstraw, Scotcha
Speaker 1: the preseason game number one that is on Thursday, and
Speaker 1: it should be an absolute blast on the Andy Moore
Speaker 1: Automotive Group potline right here with Greg. Thanks brother, I
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Enjoy Boston, you guys going to dinner tonight.
Speaker 3: Lobster rolls abound.
Speaker 2: And I will say this, this is actually my first
Speaker 2: time in Boston, actually been in western Massachusetts, like the
Speaker 2: Springfield and Amberst area.
Speaker 3: I have never been here. Coming forward to kind of
Speaker 3: looking around a little bit.
Speaker 2: It is almost Vegas like in terms of like the
Speaker 2: airport is like downtown downtown like you land, and it's
Speaker 2: across the bay from downtown Boston. So believe it or not,
Speaker 2: my first time here, and I'm gonna get a little
Speaker 2: get my steps in over the course the next couple
Speaker 2: of days. They got some time.
Speaker 1: Enjoy pal see Buddy, Greg Regstraw and the Andy Moore
Speaker 1: Automotive Group Potline on stage later on today, Andy Moore
Speaker 1: onto Money Group Potline. He's out at the State Fair.
Speaker 1: He is our friend Clayton Anderson. What time do you
Speaker 1: get under way here, buddy?
Speaker 4: Uh we I'm actually standing on the stage right now.
Speaker 4: We just got done. We just got here. We're waiting
Speaker 4: for one more little band of weather to come through.
Speaker 4: Then we're loading up and we're going. The weather man
Speaker 4: says we're good. Todd Closta says are good. Brian Wilks says,
Speaker 4: we're ready to roll. At seven thirty sharp, we're gonna
Speaker 4: hit the We're gonna hit it and smack it on
Speaker 4: two dollars Tuesday. And I can't thank you enough for
Speaker 4: reviving radio the way you have. That's what radio is
Speaker 4: supposed to be about. It's supposed to be about an
Speaker 4: interaction in your community. It is. And when my sister
Speaker 4: was having her heart transplant, every Saturday night when I
Speaker 4: drove home, you got me home in a great mood
Speaker 4: and took aways a week course of stress. So I'll
Speaker 4: never forget that. And that's what radio is all about.
Speaker 1: Boy, it is too And that's why you and I
Speaker 1: are I think are very unique in this category to Clayton,
Speaker 1: because we have a great deal of affection for local
Speaker 1: radio or small town radio where it's still exactly what
Speaker 1: you just described.
Speaker 4: Yep. Absolutely, you got to be a part of your community.
Speaker 4: The more the more the more everything is syndicated, the
Speaker 4: more everything gets bigger, the more we're gonna have to
Speaker 4: have that demand to say, what's going on in our town,
Speaker 4: what's going on here, What's what's happening. And the more
Speaker 4: we can have that connection, I think, especially with the world.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want to, Oh my god, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna go with my soapbox, but you know, I mean
Speaker 4: the way that everything's changed and we're all going to
Speaker 4: have to want to have real connections, and I think
Speaker 4: that's where it's gonna be. They'll come back around.
Speaker 1: That is Clayton Anderson the State Fair later on tonight.
Speaker 1: You got to go check him out at seven before
Speaker 1: we get to tonight and the State Fair, And how
Speaker 1: fun that's going to be. Let's have some woody conversation.
Speaker 1: Shall we come on? I want to talk about woody.
Speaker 4: Oh man. I tell you I've never had my heart
Speaker 4: melted so hard fast in my entire life. It was
Speaker 4: I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I
Speaker 4: was playing out door speedway. We literally had a doctor's
Speaker 4: appointment the day before I had elected that doctor. I said,
Speaker 4: is she gonna have that kid tomorrow? She said, you're good.
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna come next week. So I go
Speaker 4: to el door and I'm on stage and my drummer's
Speaker 4: waving like crazy. He's like, you gotta go. So I
Speaker 4: never felt more like Elvis Presley in my life. I
Speaker 4: jumped off the stage. Dad had the truck fired up,
Speaker 4: we rolled back, screamed her into the parking lot of
Speaker 4: the Saint Vincent's in North Carmel, and met her right
Speaker 4: there at the emergency room door. I don't think she
Speaker 4: dreamed it that way, but by God, that's the way
Speaker 4: it happened.
Speaker 1: So what is I see your your benchmarks of birth
Speaker 1: so far? Where are we right now with Woody?
Speaker 4: Well, he's two months, he's just a few days over
Speaker 4: two months. He's sleeping through the night the last this week,
Speaker 4: which has been unbelievable. Correct, that's that's been nice. So
Speaker 4: I've been able to get back to work a little bit.
Speaker 4: So I've been able to get a little more sleep
Speaker 4: because I've been taking the late I've been taking the
Speaker 4: overnight shift. But I tell you why you hold him
Speaker 4: and just when he cools in your neck and once
Speaker 4: he's starting to talk to you and wanting to talk,
Speaker 4: and I'm talking back to him like a gush dang
Speaker 4: gibbering fool, and oh, it's just it's the most wonderful,
Speaker 4: wonderful thing. I'm I say, I'm mad at myself for
Speaker 4: waiting so long, because I'm almost as old as my
Speaker 4: grandparents when I was born. So they'll be picking him up.
Speaker 4: They'll be like, hey, your papa's here to get you
Speaker 4: in a pick up line. But I mean, I'm not
Speaker 4: looking I'm not looking forward to that part. But I
Speaker 4: keep saying I wish I would have started earlier, but
Speaker 4: I would have probably been I would have definitely been divorced.
Speaker 4: I started earlier, so I'm glad that it worked out way.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: How old are you me?
Speaker 4: I'm sixty two now.
Speaker 1: Well, because I started late too, I was thirty. I
Speaker 1: was thirty six when Blake was born. I was forty
Speaker 1: when Lady was born.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I'm just right over that. So I'm uh
Speaker 4: right over that. So you know what's crazy. It's keeping
Speaker 4: me young. I think it's going to keep me young.
Speaker 4: I'll be out there trying to throw my arm out,
Speaker 4: trying and throw him cheating me how to throw a
Speaker 4: curve ball. Probably i'll get Tommy John surgery in about
Speaker 4: fifteen years, but it'll be a it's honestly, it's honest
Speaker 4: been the best thing's ever happened to me.
Speaker 1: That is the why I can tell. Man, it is weird.
Speaker 1: You see you see levels of people when they're so
Speaker 1: active like you are on social media, and there is
Speaker 1: just something profoundly different about how you and Hannah act
Speaker 1: with with what he now as opposed to you know,
Speaker 1: and it's not a bad difference at all. It's just
Speaker 1: it's a it's a more understandable difference, and uh, it's
Speaker 1: it's special, is what it is when you see it.
Speaker 1: Every video you guys make that he's a part of
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool.
Speaker 4: Well, thanks, I feel bad putting him. I hope he's
Speaker 4: not going to be mad at me. I'm just so
Speaker 4: proud of him, you know. And I get it so
Speaker 4: emotional he was we were playing Brownstown on Friday, and
Speaker 4: that he Hannah brought him and then took him up
Speaker 4: on stage and she brought him around to the front. Heck,
Speaker 4: I got choked up. I'm a big softie. It's just
Speaker 4: a it's just it's just an unbelievable thing I never experience.
Speaker 4: And I'm not gonna lie. I've had to. I've been
Speaker 4: on an apology tour because I was allergic to kids
Speaker 4: for so long. I felt like if I they had
Speaker 4: to make you grow up, you know, and I never wanted.
Speaker 4: I was still trying to be Peter Pan run around,
Speaker 4: play music, and sure. I didn't think I could have both.
Speaker 4: And so I've really I had to go around pouchized
Speaker 4: a lot of my best friends saying I'm sorry I
Speaker 4: didn't get it, and uh, and I I just it's
Speaker 4: it's it's I really feel bad. I feel bad that
Speaker 4: I wasn't a better friend to their kids.
Speaker 1: But you know how it is, It's like, yeah, no, man, yeah,
Speaker 1: you just your your work schedule. It's not like anybody else's.
Speaker 1: And you know, and mine is not like anybody else's.
Speaker 1: But but certainly yours. I mean, you just never know
Speaker 1: how consistently you're going to be around to do the things,
Speaker 1: you know with those friends that you lose a little
Speaker 1: bit of track of. But and and their kids when
Speaker 1: they have kids too. I mean that all of a
Speaker 1: sudden changes the timeline. It's just a part of part
Speaker 1: of life in general.
Speaker 4: I guess. Yeah, yep, it's it's a it's a wonderful thing.
Speaker 4: I keep saying, I'm on last grand adventure right now.
Speaker 4: It's gonna hang on tonight.
Speaker 1: No, it's it is, really it is. It is awesome
Speaker 1: as hell. So where did the name Woody? How do
Speaker 1: we find Woody? Just out of curiosity?
Speaker 4: This is the guy's honest truth. We were sitting there
Speaker 4: driving down to Bedford. We're going I don't know what
Speaker 4: it was, some family get together and I was for summer.
Speaker 4: We weren't even thinking about getting married. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 4: we've been together, we're practically married, but I was sitting
Speaker 4: there and I asked her what her favorite boy name
Speaker 4: and being. She said Woody, and I said, get out
Speaker 4: of here. I thought she was just joking with me,
Speaker 4: because that's that's my great grandpa's name, and she didn't
Speaker 4: she didn't know that when she said it, so, uh,
Speaker 4: that's kind of that was always the front runner. We
Speaker 4: had a couple of others in the back pocket. And
Speaker 4: Glen's her dad's name or middle name with two ends.
Speaker 4: And I thought Woody Glenn sounded like a heck of
Speaker 4: a country singer. But I'm going to keep him far
Speaker 4: away from being a country singer.
Speaker 1: Makes a lot of sense. But no, Hey, congratulations to
Speaker 1: you and Hannah. It is awesome to be able to
Speaker 1: see what you guys are taking part in here at
Speaker 1: the last two.
Speaker 4: Wait for you to meet him. I tell you, yeah, Well,
Speaker 4: Willie Nanny Mountain about that's one. That is one thing
Speaker 4: when we were down I was down in Old Mexico
Speaker 4: playing his music festival in February, and a girl named
Speaker 4: Maggie Rose is a great singer. She was her and
Speaker 4: Hannah were about on the same time period the year
Speaker 4: before she was pregnant, and then she but she'd brought
Speaker 4: her kiss. She gave me. I think she's giving me
Speaker 4: the best advice I've got so far from my singing friends.
Speaker 4: And she's like, you just got taken with you. Just
Speaker 4: load them up. Taken with it now. Granted she's rich,
Speaker 4: her husband's rich, so she got she's got nanny. I
Speaker 4: ain't on that money scale yet, but uh, but we have.
Speaker 4: We tried to take him everywhere we go. He's a
Speaker 4: he's pretty, he's until he gets hungry, like his mom.
Speaker 4: He's pretty good until he gets hungry.
Speaker 1: That is Clayton Anderson right there with Woody and Hannah.
Speaker 1: State Fair. How many times do you play the State
Speaker 1: Fair in the past.
Speaker 4: This is the first time.
Speaker 1: No way, it's not.
Speaker 4: Wow, it is This is a huge bucket list for me.
Speaker 4: I have always wanted to play this stage. I've been
Speaker 4: out here so many times watching people play, back when
Speaker 4: they had big grand stand shows, when they had free
Speaker 4: shows here at the Fruit, when they started the free stage.
Speaker 4: I've seen so many people play, and I've played all
Speaker 4: these county fairs all over Indiana. But this is the
Speaker 4: first time I've ever got. I'm standing up here on
Speaker 4: stage right now. I got goosebumps. I'm ready to go.
Speaker 4: I'm ready to get this thing. I'm so excited. They've
Speaker 4: built a really really nice stage out here. This is
Speaker 4: brand new. It's really really nice.
Speaker 1: Well, and we got the weather out of the way. Correct, Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: weather's out of the way. It's two dollars Tuesday. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to show some restraints so I don't go out
Speaker 1: there and get a tummy ache eating all the fried
Speaker 1: oreos right now. But yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a good one.
Speaker 4: Hopefully we'll have a hopefully this weather, you know, hopefully
Speaker 4: it won't scare people away. It's going it's nice now,
Speaker 4: so hopefully we have a nice little turnout.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. Probably what it did is
Speaker 1: end up did it cool things down at the very least?
Speaker 1: I would imagine.
Speaker 4: It's actually really nice. There's a great breeze going on.
Speaker 4: It don't feel as hot. I'll tell you what. Last
Speaker 4: weekend that's hottest I've ever been know.
Speaker 1: That was down in Brownstown.
Speaker 4: Correct, you had down Brownstown Old Rock and Ryane. It
Speaker 4: was a good time.
Speaker 1: What man, you and what about you and Big and
Speaker 1: Rich and Uncle Cracker together? Correct?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, it was a big ol' show. I'm telling
Speaker 4: you there was a lot of a lot of horses
Speaker 4: were saved, a lot of cowboys were ridden, a lot
Speaker 4: of horses.
Speaker 1: I just want to know how old is Uncle. I've
Speaker 1: never known how old Uncle Cracker might be. Did you
Speaker 1: meet Uncle Cracker?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I've known him. I've partied with him. Quote

Speaker 4: But he he's got a double white on his property.
Speaker 4: It's his house, and and it's wrapped in camo, and
Speaker 4: he's got a redwood deck on the back, and he's
Speaker 4: got a shelter underne he's got a bit. Anyways, the
Speaker 4: nice at the double white trailer i've ever seen. And
Speaker 4: I said, what's up with the double white trailer? He's like, well,
Speaker 4: if I he said, if I get drunk and mess
Speaker 4: it up, I'll just get a new one. He said,
Speaker 4: that house just appreciates the wine value. So I'm just
Speaker 4: going that's the way he rolls on all his properties.
Speaker 4: He just gets a double wide wraps it in camo
Speaker 4: and has a heck of a time.
Speaker 1: That is uh that is the uh rock the rhine.
Speaker 1: What is that some kind of is that a candleoap
Speaker 1: or what are we talking about?
Speaker 4: Ryan?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Watermelon?
Speaker 1: Watermelon?
Speaker 4: Hey, I tell you what. Jack's kind of got a
Speaker 4: good watermelon. That's that's some of the best watermelon coming out.
Speaker 1: I'm a big candleoad guy right here, big time cantload guy.
Speaker 4: You know what, I'm not gonna lie. I don't like
Speaker 4: either one. I got so sick on him eating him
Speaker 4: as a kid. I threw up and I've never been
Speaker 4: able to It is weird.
Speaker 1: I never did like him until now, and now I
Speaker 1: am especially all about Cannilo. But I just don't like
Speaker 1: jacking with Heaven too. I don't do it. I don't
Speaker 1: like get him whole and cut it myself. I just
Speaker 1: go to Kroger and get around tally at Kroger and
Speaker 1: then grab a package of him. So yeah, yeah, package
Speaker 1: of them. And then sometimes it's sometimes you're roll the dice.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can get some nice, really good fresh stuff,
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's kind of hard as hell, so you
Speaker 1: never really know what you're gonna get.
Speaker 4: It is. It's a little roulette.
Speaker 1: This is Clayton Anderson with us. He's later on tonight,
Speaker 1: seven o'clock. Did you say at the State Fair? Correct?
Speaker 1: Seven thirty. We hit the stage. It's going to be
Speaker 1: a good one. Seven.
Speaker 4: I haven't been practicing for this one. We're gonna bring
Speaker 4: We're gonna bring the heat. It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to ask you about this because I
Speaker 1: mentioned this to our our mutual good friend Steve a
Speaker 1: couple of months back. The Clayton's Country Bar is just humming,
Speaker 1: I mean humming right along too. But the uh when
Speaker 1: when Blake Shelton mentioned and I didn't even mention the
Speaker 1: new place, but he mentioned downtown Indy needed, you know,
Speaker 1: a good honky tonk, a good country bar, I thought,
Speaker 1: hey man, what the hell we are you talking about? Shelton?
Speaker 4: Did you see the post I made out?
Speaker 1: It was beautiful, It was right. It was right back
Speaker 1: at him. Now he knows about your place. Was Did
Speaker 1: you take that as a shot? Did you and Steve
Speaker 1: take that as a shot?
Speaker 4: I took. I took a little offense to it. I thought,
Speaker 4: I think it's funny because Blake's one of the funniest
Speaker 4: guys I know. I just don't think. I just don't
Speaker 4: think Blake, I said. I texted Blake's close friends, I said,
Speaker 4: you need to tell Blake get a lay of the land.
Speaker 4: So because because I don't know if he knows this,
Speaker 4: but I'm the most competitive guy that ever was, So
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go out of my way make sure sure
Speaker 4: we're running on HUMMA just as good as anything. And
Speaker 4: but I honestly, I think it's great for Indianapolis. I'm really, really,
Speaker 4: really excited. I think he he's just going to be
Speaker 4: the first of many that ended up coming. Actually even
Speaker 4: talking about Kid Rock he's interested in coming. So that's
Speaker 4: that's incredible that he would end up doing that. I
Speaker 4: think Luke Colmbs would come next. Their own by the Blake.
Speaker 1: Luke Holmes has his own bar two.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got one down there called Category ten in Nashville,
Speaker 4: but they're owned by the same group, Grand o' opry
Speaker 4: is and I think they're all partnering with the Simons
Speaker 4: on stuff. So it'll be great for Indianapolis. I he's saying,
Speaker 4: we're going to be the Nashville in the north and
Speaker 4: it'll be awesome for bands. The whole gold starting that
Speaker 4: whole thing was to give bands a place to play
Speaker 4: around here. So I because I know, if I was
Speaker 4: starting over, I don't think i'd go to Nashville. It's
Speaker 4: to that expensive.
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, downtown, you guys are part of
Speaker 1: the revitalization that he's taking part because everything else had
Speaker 1: been you know, you look at what's been going on
Speaker 1: in mass Eve. You look, you know, Fletcher or Fountain
Speaker 1: Square in that area, and you got to get back
Speaker 1: to the roots of what downtown was once again, and
Speaker 1: you guys are on the forefront of that.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well it's I think there's no higher compliment when
Speaker 4: somebody's told me, like, thanks for what you've done for downtown.
Speaker 4: I didn't really think of anything like that, starting it
Speaker 4: or doing it, but I obviously think, well, I'm obviously
Speaker 4: a homer for the state of Indiana. But when I
Speaker 4: moved to Nashville, there was this huge buzz about the town.
Speaker 4: There was excitement about it, and I feel that same
Speaker 4: energy right now with Indianapolis. It's incredible. I mean, we've
Speaker 4: got so much going on, so much good stuff, happening,
Speaker 4: and I think we just keep keep building it and
Speaker 4: keep making things exciting. But you got to get something.
Speaker 4: Nashville went all in on it. You know, it's the
Speaker 4: most landlocked town I've ever seen. Have so many people
Speaker 4: want to come to it, so we can continue to
Speaker 4: want to keep welcoming tourists and welcoming people. I think
Speaker 4: it's gonna be great. And the more entertainment we have,
Speaker 4: the more well, more tourists, We're gonna get it.
Speaker 1: And the one thing about it is it does it
Speaker 1: takes a little bit from everybody here, and I mean
Speaker 1: absolutely everybody. Even if you don't know it, don't recognize
Speaker 1: it takes a little bit from you. It does take
Speaker 1: a little bit from you. There's no question. Hey, congratulations
Speaker 1: to you and Hannah on Woody go out there at
Speaker 1: seven thirty the first time at the Indiana State Fair.
Speaker 1: And I'm assuming are you going to play any of
Speaker 1: the Colts games at all? I mean sometimes we'll see
Speaker 1: you out there before Colts games, anything like that on
Speaker 1: the schedule coming up here.
Speaker 4: I sure hope. So we played the last couple. I mean, heck,
Speaker 4: red clay trays. We may have been famous since they
Speaker 4: got open up for us that one year, you know,
Speaker 4: but no, I sure hope so, because I obviously I'm
Speaker 4: so fired up for football start again, and I sure
Speaker 4: hope they'll ask us to be a part of it.
Speaker 4: I haven't heard anything yet, so I sure hope we
Speaker 4: get too, all.
Speaker 1: Right, pal, Hey, go get him later on tonight. Congratulations
Speaker 1: with Woody and send some videos and pictures. I've got
Speaker 1: to go out there and shoot free throws against people
Speaker 1: coming up on Saturday, Saturday midday, I believe, yeah.
Speaker 4: And nice shoot. I might have to stroll over and
Speaker 4: see if I can make them.
Speaker 1: My sites are a little bit bent right now. I
Speaker 1: can't lie, so if somebody's gonna get me, it may be.
Speaker 1: The time is right now a little bit bent.
Speaker 4: Well, Hey, I appreciate you having me on, Thanks for
Speaker 4: supporting me, and shout out to all the four hers
Speaker 4: out there Lawrence County four. H Yeah, second to none
Speaker 4: club in the house. I was in the swine Barn.
Speaker 4: Let's go.
Speaker 1: We love our farmers for real, don't we.
Speaker 4: That's right, sell you what we'd be We'd be starving
Speaker 4: without them.
Speaker 1: You got it, Pile. I appreciate you. Go ahead and
Speaker 1: get him tonight. Have a great time, right, Thanks Jamvy,
Speaker 1: love me, buddy, you got right back at you. Clayton
Speaker 1: Anderson on the Andy Moore Automotive Group pileline. That's the
Speaker 1: Indiana State Fair coming up later on tonight. That is
Speaker 1: that seven thirty officially underway for that. He's our friend.
Speaker 1: He's been shipped off to Boston or in this case Foxborough,
Speaker 1: the Fan Morning Show, the Athletic. He was mia by
Speaker 1: the This Boy this morning on the Fan Morning Show.
Speaker 1: James Boyd is with us right now, Hello, James.
Speaker 5: What's up guys?
Speaker 1: So are you a flight right now to get back
Speaker 1: here to play at nine o'clock to night or what's
Speaker 1: happening now?
Speaker 5: I was tempted, though I'm not gonna lie. I was
Speaker 5: looking like, man, if I can make it back to
Speaker 5: get a run.
Speaker 6: And I would, but I guess I gotta stay here
Speaker 6: and you know, do the job, the real job.
Speaker 1: So when are you coming back?
Speaker 5: Coming back tomorrow morning?
Speaker 6: I will not stay for the game because Daniel Jones
Speaker 6: isn't playing in the game quite frankly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you get Anthony Richardson in the first half Thursday,
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard in the second half. I didn't hear today why,
Speaker 1: I guess is that the protocol that's going to go
Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks. So I know they're going to flip
Speaker 1: flop this against the Falcons, but why are they going
Speaker 1: to start the way they're starting on Thursday?
Speaker 6: There is no real reason behind it. John is just
Speaker 6: a preference, I guess for the coaching staff. I probably
Speaker 6: should followed up a little bit more on that with
Speaker 6: say Styching, But the bottom line is they.
Speaker 5: Continue to split the reps pretty evenly with the qbs.
Speaker 6: But in my opinion, I would still right now have
Speaker 6: it ranked Daniel Jones then Riley than ar because I
Speaker 6: think that Riley's just down a little bit more consistency
Speaker 6: throughout training camp.
Speaker 1: All right, So rumor has it, because I'm sure as
Speaker 1: hell wasn't there you were? A rumor has it that
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner and AJ Brown had some battles out there
Speaker 1: today that Sauce really didn't measure up to the Patriots
Speaker 1: wide receiver. What'd you see?
Speaker 6: It's funny you bring this up because there's one play
Speaker 6: that's gone viral and it was a one on one
Speaker 6: route where Sauce Gardner slipped and AJ Brown catched the
Speaker 6: ball easily. The crowd goes crazy, and so that clip
Speaker 6: has gone everywhere now, But that to me wasn't the
Speaker 6: full recap of what happened. And Practice thought Saft did
Speaker 6: a pretty good job against AJ Brown. He had his
Speaker 6: moments where he had a couple pass breakups, sticky and coverage,
Speaker 6: and then overall I thought the Coach defense actually ended
Speaker 6: practicing on a high note there by ending it with
Speaker 6: an interception of Drake May. Camp Biden got the interception,
Speaker 6: but Sauce Gardner wasn't coverage. And you think about you
Speaker 6: know that play early on where people are, you know,
Speaker 6: hooting and hollering about him falling. You noticed Drake May
Speaker 6: didn't test him in that moment again by trying to
Speaker 6: go back to a J. Brown, You tried to force
Speaker 6: it over the middle of the field and it still
Speaker 6: ended up being an interception. So I think that one play,
Speaker 6: you know, just kind of clouds what really happened today.
Speaker 5: And I thought soft looked pretty good.
Speaker 1: So Buddy James Boyd rocking our favorite hat right now.
Speaker 1: Via the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline, there he is.
Speaker 1: If you're checking him out, you do, yes, you do
Speaker 1: a How does it feel not having to deal with
Speaker 1: a Tuesday Night with Rick Clark. I mean, that's worth
Speaker 1: it right to be in Massachusetts.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it might be, but I think I love the
Speaker 6: rest of y'all more Rick opening up the gym for
Speaker 6: But yeah, thanks can get a little competitive and contentious on.
Speaker 1: Tuesday Night, no doubt about that. What else have you
Speaker 1: you gathered? And this is just surface stuff that I
Speaker 1: brought up at this and you can get into the
Speaker 1: whole PRP thing if you want, I know, you know awesome.
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard felt the need to clarify that today. How'd
Speaker 1: all that transpire from you being there?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I am so glad you asked me this question, so
Speaker 6: to give you the radio version because one day I
Speaker 6: should write a book about how this stuff goes.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 6: The bottom line is Adam Schefter went on the Pat
Speaker 6: mcafie show yesterday and he kind of mentioned in passing that, oh,
Speaker 6: by the way, Al Pierce got another shot in his ankle.
Speaker 5: So I do any reporter would?
Speaker 6: I reached out to people in the know within their
Speaker 6: organization and I was told and not just me, several
Speaker 6: reporter on the beat, Mike Chappell.
Speaker 5: Nathan Brown. You know, people have been here for a while.
Speaker 6: That this second injection did happen, and so I report that,
Speaker 6: go to sleep, wake up this morning, and you get
Speaker 6: a text saying, oh, you know what, actually we you know,
Speaker 6: this wasn't this was me misspeaking, you know, according to
Speaker 6: a source that I know in the building. And so
Speaker 6: that got to the point where Chris Baller probably felt
Speaker 6: the need to come out and just set the record
Speaker 6: straight on Alec Pierce.
Speaker 5: So, to my knowledge, according to Chris Ballard, he did.
Speaker 6: Not get a second injection, even though, like I said,
Speaker 6: someone within the organization twenty four hours ago.
Speaker 5: Said he did.
Speaker 6: So I don't think that it's necessarily a lie. It
Speaker 6: could have been a genuine misunderstanding. What the bottom line is.
Speaker 6: I think that sort of message can be confusing for fans,
Speaker 6: and to be honest, it's kind of confusing for reporters.
Speaker 5: I do take my job seriously.
Speaker 6: I know I joke around with you all a lot,
Speaker 6: but I wouldn't put anything out there without vetting it
Speaker 6: first thoroughly. And then to wake up to that sort
Speaker 6: of message this morning and having to re explain it
Speaker 6: or re you know, put it out there, re report it.
Speaker 6: It's kind of crazy, but it's something that I think
Speaker 6: will not happen anytime soon, or I can't say ever
Speaker 6: again because this is a weird game that we play
Speaker 6: with the sources.
Speaker 5: But that's the latest on that.
Speaker 1: So James Boyd the fan morning showing the athletic with us.
Speaker 1: You know, honestly, I think most people were would firmly
Speaker 1: believe you or your colleagues over the Colts for the
Speaker 1: past almost ten years. Now I like, for me, I'll
Speaker 1: believe all this is going to happen when I see
Speaker 1: him out there in week number one. And I honestly,
Speaker 1: James think that's a fair assessment to make, knowing what
Speaker 1: we have gone through over all these years.
Speaker 6: Recently, absolutely, I think people should have their doubt about,
Speaker 6: you know, what the coach could be overall the team man.
Speaker 6: When it comes to some of the injury news and
Speaker 6: it doesn't help win again, you kind of have to
Speaker 6: go back and you know, correct some things as a
Speaker 6: reporter because you were total one thing, but then in
Speaker 6: reality it might be something else. But I will say,
Speaker 6: just getting away from the PRP injections and all that talk,
Speaker 6: it was good to see Alec Pierce out there in
Speaker 6: cleets doing something football related. Now we couldn't videotape any
Speaker 6: of that, that was against the policy. But I did
Speaker 6: see him, you know, jogging and running little bit and
Speaker 6: doing some things on the field, which just hadn't been
Speaker 6: the case really at all.
Speaker 1: So he hasn't been out there at all prior to today.
Speaker 1: It's almost like that this was a little dog and
Speaker 1: pony show for you guys a little bit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a lot going on the busy morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, do you guys feel like that that
Speaker 1: was weird considering what you hadn't seen. And then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, now with the ballared announcement of what
Speaker 1: he says happened what didn't happen, then there's Alec Pierce.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, right, there was that at odd.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was odd the timing of it, but I
Speaker 6: tried to read too much into things, you know, give
Speaker 6: people the benefit of the doubt. But I will say
Speaker 6: it was good to see him out there. And yes, John,
Speaker 6: he really hadn't done a whole lot previously. Like when
Speaker 6: I saw him at other practices, he was usually just
Speaker 6: standing off to the side talking to.
Speaker 5: Reggie Wayne Shane.
Speaker 6: Stiching, But today he actually did a couple of football things,
Speaker 6: but again no official participation in practice, but it was
Speaker 6: good to see him out there and hopefully you see
Speaker 6: him out there for week one.
Speaker 1: That is James Boyd at the Athletic and the Fan
Speaker 1: morning show us from New England on the Anymore Automotive
Speaker 1: Group podline. A lot of people are brought up, Hey,
Speaker 1: you know, these are measures they're taking because they don't
Speaker 1: want to go out and get somebody else, and obviously
Speaker 1: that focus has been that of Keenan Allen. I don't
Speaker 1: think this, to me is a testimonial of what they believe.
Speaker 1: They don't need anybody with eyeballs or acumen here whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Football wise understands that they need somebody else with those
Speaker 1: wide receivers in that particular group. It doesn't matter the
Speaker 1: hell of Alec Pierce or anything else. They need something
Speaker 1: more than DJ Montgomery. I think we can all be
Speaker 1: on the same page with that in mind, can we not?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: And that was one of my takeaways today, John from
Speaker 6: watching practice, especially when they got down like the red zone.
Speaker 6: A lot of the success they had was through Tyler
Speaker 6: Warren and Josh downs and if they wasn't those two,
Speaker 6: the completions were kind of hard to come by. I
Speaker 6: thought Daniel Jones did a fine job today. He had
Speaker 6: his good moments in some moments that looked.
Speaker 5: A little rough.
Speaker 6: But I can't put it all on him, or the
Speaker 6: offensive line or even the play caller. I just think
Speaker 6: that you can't scheme your way into more talent like
Speaker 6: you can get away with it for a little bit.
Speaker 5: If you get banged up throughout the season.
Speaker 6: But I do think that coach he to invest in
Speaker 6: their wide receiver room, whether Alec Pierce come back fully
Speaker 6: healthy or not.
Speaker 1: James Boyce with Sharvari's wards stayed behind with I think
Speaker 1: what was described as a or two things. One was
Speaker 1: a back aggravation of shorts. What more do you know
Speaker 1: about that?
Speaker 5: That's all we know for now.
Speaker 6: I did ask Chris Ballad, hey do you expect this
Speaker 6: to be a long term thing?
Speaker 5: He said he couldn't give a timeline on it. That
Speaker 5: don't sound great.
Speaker 6: And so anytime I hear about back things and timelines
Speaker 6: and stuff not being clear, I get a little worried
Speaker 6: about it. And just from a mental standpoint, I don't
Speaker 6: want to go too far with this. I do want
Speaker 6: to hear from Savera's ward himself, but I started to
Speaker 6: think myself of him, like, man, this dude has been
Speaker 6: through so much, whether it's injuries or off the field
Speaker 6: things with his family and things like that, where you
Speaker 6: wonder how much is weighing on this do to still
Speaker 6: play the game of football, so it's still play in
Speaker 6: the NFL. So we'll probably hear from him at some
Speaker 6: point later this week, hopefully get an update, and I'll
Speaker 6: definitely keep asking even behind the scenes what's going on
Speaker 6: and bringing you the proper report the first time. But
Speaker 6: in my opinion, it was certainly a development that we
Speaker 6: can't just ignore or overlook because he's supposed to be
Speaker 6: a big, big part of the defense.
Speaker 1: As you know, John, I will say this, James and
Speaker 1: I like him a great deal, but it's always hard
Speaker 1: for me to comprehend those that seemingly, and I think
Speaker 1: that this was accurate, seemingly have one foot out the
Speaker 1: door and then kind of bring themselves back in. It
Speaker 1: seems like if you're kind of retired at some point,
Speaker 1: then you're fully retired. This is always going to worry me,
Speaker 1: even beyond the fact that the guy has been through
Speaker 1: so much, both mentally and physically, it just makes you
Speaker 1: wonder what the breaking point might be for him.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, you know, he's only human.
Speaker 6: And he's also talked candidly about thinking about retirement and
Speaker 6: walking away from the game and how I loved it
Speaker 6: when he flexed about it. He's already accomplished everything you
Speaker 6: can dream of in the sport. This is an undrafted
Speaker 6: guy who's been in the league now for about a decade.
Speaker 5: He's started in multiple Super Bowls, he's won Super Bowl, he's.
Speaker 6: Been a Pro Bowler, he's been an All Pro, he's
Speaker 6: gotten two lucrative contracts, and so he's done everything that
Speaker 6: you can imagine that you dream of when you're five, six,
Speaker 6: eleven years old.
Speaker 5: And so yes, I do think that that's a.
Speaker 6: Conversation he has to have with himself, probably more often
Speaker 6: than other athletes. But at the same time, I don't
Speaker 6: want to get too ahead of myself. We'll see if
Speaker 6: there's any updates for vide later this week and as
Speaker 6: we get closest to the season, because like I said,
Speaker 6: they have built their defense in part with him in mind,
Speaker 6: and so I think that he's going to be a
Speaker 6: big part of his defense. Hopefully he can get healthy
Speaker 6: and stay healthy and kind of end his career on
Speaker 6: his own terms.
Speaker 1: So do you think Anthony Richardson makes this team?
Speaker 6: I do, I do, and I know a lot of
Speaker 6: that chatter has gotten louder over.
Speaker 5: The last couple of days.
Speaker 6: I will admit the night practice that actually killed Zula
Speaker 6: with that the other day, it was not good.
Speaker 1: He's been more than I have.
Speaker 5: Hoops.
Speaker 6: Guy, you're to be out there on the grass and
Speaker 6: you know you typically you know, practice over the time
Speaker 6: your show started off the hood.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for giving me that relief right there.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know, I got your back there, I
Speaker 5: got you back.
Speaker 6: But my thing is that with Anthony, I just think
Speaker 6: you need to see more consistency.
Speaker 5: He had a rough day, Like I said last week,
Speaker 5: he actually looked better today.
Speaker 6: I thought him and Riley were more consistent today against
Speaker 6: the Patriots, fittingly against a different team.
Speaker 5: But I don't know if it's enough to say you'll
Speaker 5: be the backup.
Speaker 6: But I also don't think that it's been like so
Speaker 6: agregious where you just cut ties with the number four pick. Altogether,
Speaker 6: I think that if anything, even if he is your
Speaker 6: QB three, what's the harm in keeping him around? I mean,
Speaker 6: he has one game for you in the past, and
Speaker 6: you do have some injury history and quarterback room beyond
Speaker 6: just him. Daniel Jones isn't the most durable guy. Riley
Speaker 6: Leonard isn't the most durable guy. So I wouldn't mind
Speaker 6: keeping a guy as my third guy who's already won
Speaker 6: eight games in the NFL.
Speaker 1: What have you thought about arden Key one and then
Speaker 1: ultimately missing game number one? Is Taylor Britt with that
Speaker 1: suspension that we saw over the week and it was
Speaker 1: handed down I guess from an incident off the field
Speaker 1: that happened back in January. Your thoughts on both of
Speaker 1: these guys From what you've seen defensively in camp so far,
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 6: Arden Key is going to be the other starting defensive
Speaker 6: in opposite of Liao two lots. He's had some good
Speaker 6: moments throughout camp. I don't think he's been dominated by
Speaker 6: any means. I don't know if he's going to have
Speaker 6: the same level of production as you would want in
Speaker 6: a number one defensive end, but I do think he'll
Speaker 6: get some good reps there and they can just rotate
Speaker 6: other guys in there, and then when you look at
Speaker 6: someone like Cam Taylor britt He's been like their backup
Speaker 6: slot cornerback, so he's had a significant role in the defense.
Speaker 6: And consider what's going on with Saveria's ward right now,
Speaker 6: and Justin Wallings has an injury history and things like that.
Speaker 6: He's a valuable player for your team. So I do
Speaker 6: think they're going to miss him in Week one. You
Speaker 6: want to come into the seasons as whole as you can,
Speaker 6: and obviously having a guy miss a game because it's
Speaker 6: not an injury, but something off the field is not ideal.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I believe he got his license suspended or
Speaker 6: he got charged with reckless driving and driving without a
Speaker 6: license back in January and Cincinnati, and I had to
Speaker 6: spend five days in jail because of it. But it
Speaker 6: seems like the colt are pretty aware of that and
Speaker 6: the possibility of him being suspended. So that suspension will
Speaker 6: start on August thirtieth, and so he'll serve that until
Speaker 6: September fourteenth, so he'll be.
Speaker 5: Out from basically cut down date.
Speaker 6: When they got to get to fifty three and then
Speaker 6: the start of the week two. So it is a
Speaker 6: notable loss, but obviously not too big of loss because
Speaker 6: he's not a starter and it's not for more than
Speaker 6: one game.
Speaker 1: Any names that you are interested in seeing coming up
Speaker 1: on Thursday and that preseason game one?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what I thought.
Speaker 6: Will Mallory had a really good practice today. Tight end
Speaker 6: from twenty twenty three fifth round pick, he's kind of
Speaker 6: been hanging on. I think that he's a pretty good
Speaker 6: pass catcher. We'll see if he can flash some more
Speaker 6: and earn his spot on the fifty three man roster
Speaker 6: going forward. I think that the cornerback room is kind
Speaker 6: of interesting. Behind your top guy, Jalen Jones is someone
Speaker 6: who started, you know, for you full time a couple
Speaker 6: of years ago, and I'm wondering if he's even going
Speaker 6: to making the team. And then you look at running
Speaker 6: back behind Jonathan Taylor. I want to see Taph McGowan.
Speaker 6: I think that he's a tough dude out of Kentucky,
Speaker 6: a bigger running back, and someone who quietly has earned
Speaker 6: the opportunity I think to be their backup behind j T.
Speaker 6: Which is kind of crazy to say because he's the
Speaker 6: seventh round pick. But he's looked good and about today.
Speaker 5: He had some.
Speaker 1: Moments James Boyd with us before I let you go.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to get to the fever and the
Speaker 1: call was right. The ejection of Carrington was accurate. You know,
Speaker 1: the after the game stuff in the locker room was ridiculous,
Speaker 1: but that was all on her. But I thought that
Speaker 1: again we saw Stephanie White postgame wise miss the mark
Speaker 1: in making sure she continues to keep her team galvan Ice,
Speaker 1: did you agree with that?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that she's done a good job of
Speaker 6: that this year, John, But I would have probably approached
Speaker 6: the foul in my interpretation a little bit differently. I
Speaker 6: thought that she tried to kind of go out of
Speaker 6: her way to defend the nature of legione Carrington saying, Oh,
Speaker 6: I don't know. I don't think it was you know, intended,
Speaker 6: But do the intentions matter when the results are that bad?
Speaker 6: Like if if we go play on Tuesday night and
Speaker 6: I value like that and I tell you, well, I
Speaker 6: didn't mean to do it. Yeah, does that make you
Speaker 6: feel any better if I clover you across the head?
Speaker 6: And so I think that that was a moment where
Speaker 6: she could have defended Sophie Cunningham and her own team
Speaker 6: without caring about the feelings of the other team, because
Speaker 6: that ain't who you're coaching, So maybe a miss mark there,
Speaker 6: but overall, I still think that she's done a great
Speaker 6: job this season considered all of the things that have
Speaker 6: happened with the fever, and quietly they're still winning games
Speaker 6: at a pretty high rate.
Speaker 1: The play was reckless and it did speak for itself.
Speaker 1: I was disappointed that she took the direction of what
Speaker 1: she did, and I don't have a complaint at all
Speaker 1: with what she has done coaching wise on the floor,
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people, I don't think
Speaker 1: they see that compared to you know, just how they
Speaker 1: view her compared to Caitlin Clark, and you got all
Speaker 1: these different dynamics going on. But yeah, certainly the floor
Speaker 1: aspect and the ex's and the o's, it is tough
Speaker 1: for me to really see why people would have such
Speaker 1: a significant problem other than the fact that she's always
Speaker 1: going to get all the blame and never going to
Speaker 1: get any of the credit with this team. And that's
Speaker 1: the way that it's going to go.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the game that we play. And unless she
Speaker 6: wins the championship, people are always going to be critical
Speaker 6: of her because she coaches Kitlin and that comes with
Speaker 6: its own spear of nonsense and craziness, not because of Caitlin,
Speaker 6: just because of people I think that maybe aren't the
Speaker 6: biggest basketball fans and will see her as something else.
Speaker 6: But as far as Stephanie goes, I thought this conversation
Speaker 6: would have kind of.
Speaker 5: Been put to bed after last year because they made
Speaker 5: it to.
Speaker 6: The semifinals and within a quarter, within an overtime period
Speaker 6: of reaching the finals with a ragtag group of women,
Speaker 6: you know, with a bunch of replacement players. And in
Speaker 6: this year they're playing well again where they've given the
Speaker 6: top teams in the league some tough games and they've
Speaker 6: actually won a game against the Aces, and they're right
Speaker 6: there to think of being in that you know, top four,
Speaker 6: getting home court advantage throughout the first round of the playoffs.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm not buying the Stephanie White can't coach.
Speaker 6: It's just can you manage all the other stuff on
Speaker 6: top of it, which is.
Speaker 5: A tall task for anybody. And I'm glad I matter
Speaker 5: her shoes honestly.
Speaker 1: Well, it's just jet it's constant with that group and
Speaker 1: even when it's not done on their own or done
Speaker 1: by the WNBA, and it's just that part is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: That's what we try to keep it at the basketball level.
Speaker 1: With the basketball level. Maybe they're not completely living up
Speaker 1: to the expectations, but they've been, at least recently trying
Speaker 1: to close in on that. All Right, you're back tomorrow morning. Correct,
Speaker 1: That means no hoop tonight at nine o'clock at Center
Speaker 1: Grove West.
Speaker 6: I know I'll be thinking about you, but I guess
Speaker 6: I'll watch the Fever game instead.
Speaker 5: Keep my feet up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Fever game would be about over
Speaker 1: by the time we get started. But I imagine so
Speaker 1: tip to.
Speaker 6: Sevens gets the second half with you guys, or I
Speaker 6: take the score or something like that.
Speaker 5: So we'll see.
Speaker 1: All right, hey, safe travels back here, man, We'll see
Speaker 1: when you get back. We got more time.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: I make Kalob go absolutely everywhere I play basketball. Now
Speaker 1: he's forced into it. He has got no choice, no choice,
Speaker 1: no saying no, He's locked. If I'm going, James, he's going.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you the way that it works, pal,
Speaker 1: Safe Travels. James Boyd, The Fan Morning Show, and The
