20
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 3: This is the part of the show where our YouTube

21
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 3: always sees a spike when Matt Bear saunters to the

22
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 3: studio with this medium shirt on and hell, like last

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: week he was like getting naked in here taking a shirt.

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, the old tax little it's uninhibited. I was the

25
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 4: last week Matt after dark, Matt after that's taxicab confession.

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: Before we get into some fun stuff here, what do

27
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: we need to know about the roads and everything this weekend?

28
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had a ram closure that started last night.

29
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 4: This is the first evening rush and it really applies

30
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: to evening rush hour. It is this downtown ramp closure

31
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: of Washington Street to southbound sixty five seventy is shut down.

32
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 4: It's going to be closed until the lake fall. And

33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 4: this pushes traffic all over downtown as in the south

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 4: endos West Street rams and people are also going to

35
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 4: be using rurals.

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: So this is a big deal.

37
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 4: It's part of that sixty five project on the south

38
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 4: side where everything's tore up right now, where they're adding

39
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 4: another lane that should be done hopefully the whole thing.

40
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: I'm talking about the whole project by late this year

41
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 4: or early next year.

42
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: I think they decided to do it like right before

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: the final four.

44
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: Right, let's start that before the final four In the

45
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: Indy five hundred.

46
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: Usually we get go on before the five hundred. I

47
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: was thinking that's when we lay down. That's when we

48
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 2: start closing inter today it's right there.

49
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: Well, and it feels like Monument Circle has been closed

50
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: off a lot lately because they're doing some construction. So

51
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: all this new traffic that's coming downtown, that thinks, okay,

52
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: I'll cut around the Circle to get to North Meridian,

53
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 3: South Meridian, wherever they're going. Now you've got to reroute

54
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 3: around from that.

55
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's absolutely better.

56
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: And don't forget we still have the City Hotel, you know,

57
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 4: government funded hotel. It still has the road closed there

58
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 4: going by that, so it's it's chaos right now. It's

59
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: tough to get around. But we have a lot of

60
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 4: cool things coming up in Indianapolis, so I'm excited about that.

61
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: But in the interim, that entrance ramp Washington Street to

62
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: southbound sixty five that is shut down and it is

63
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 4: gone until the fall, at least late fall.

64
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: Now with Georgia Street, because that used to be like

65
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 3: the big tailgate street, party street whenever the city have

66
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: big events. It's been closed for construction for a while.

67
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: Has that opened back up or is it about to?

68
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: No, it's going to be shut down.

69
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: What we do have the NC double A coming up

70
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: with the Final Four here in a couple of weeks,

71
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 4: so that's going to be going down so Georgia Street.

72
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 4: I keep that off limits for the moment right now.

73
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 4: We do have closures starting two with the NCAA. I

74
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: know South Street will be closed starting late next week,

75
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 4: I believe. And we also have North Street closed right

76
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 4: now between Meridian Penn. So we're getting ready to party

77
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 4: here now in down to Indianapolis. It's a good time,

78
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 4: but we do have those street closures that come with

79
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 4: such a big event as the nc double A Final Four.

80
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool. It's just really inconvenient if you're driving.

81
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: One more thing before we move on. I hadn't been

82

00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 4: been going on because I just saw Iowa stay absolutely

125
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,599

129
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: four up yet in Indianapolis, but mass is going crazy.

130
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 4: I'm sure some of the other cultural districts will be too.

131
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: As somebody that's recovering, does it trigger you at all?

132
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: Because I mean it's generally a part you don't get triggered.

133
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't, Okay, sure, I'm speaking for you. Do you

134
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: do you get triggered? First of all as a recovering

135
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: like partier, you know what I mean? Like this is

Speaker 4: I had no trouble with Saint Patrick's Day, none at all.

142
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 4: As a recovery downcoholic.

143
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,080

147
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 4: and everything. Uh, with the NCAA, that's a little that's

148
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 4: a different animal, because I do enjoy so much.

149
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: So it's with my neighborhood.

150
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 4: What you do is you just kind of pick your

151
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 4: moments to go where you need to go. I mean,

152
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 4: I don't listen if I see a half a dozen

153
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: women out partying and everything, that's going to make me

154
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 4: want a party. I'm a guy, and I'm a recovering alcoholic.

155
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: And if it gets too bad, if he gets too thick,

156
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 4: I have people I can call. I have people I

157
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 4: can talk to, and they're gonna be like, yeah, if

158
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 4: you get drunk tonight, dude. Those women are never going

159
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 4: to not like they're gonna want me to begin with,

160
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 4: but they're gonna like, yeah, you're totally out of the

161
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 4: game if you get drunk tonight, because what could turn

162
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: into a Friday night is generally goes through June.

163
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 3: I wish I had a friend like Matt Barrett when

164
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: I was in my twenties.

165
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: Though, my god, Hammer, it's two in the morning.

166
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 3: I need you to get these drunk women off of me,

167
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: because you're my friend, Matt.

168
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: I'll be right there.

169
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 4: Honestly, when I first moved to downtown Indianapolis, I was

170
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 4: living on a place on Delaware Street here downtown, and

171
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 4: I had a buddy of mine. He was about a

172
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 4: decade older than me, and I was the guy that'd

173
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 4: knock on his door and be like one am on Saturday.

174
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: I'd be like, well, let's go, and you'd get up

175
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: and we walk out.

176
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 4: He's like, dude, I'm in my forties and I'm like,

177
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 4: we're gonna go party. And then three am everything shuts

178
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 4: down and you know whatever else, and it was I mean, yeah,

179
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: I look back at some of that fondly. I mean,

180
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: I had great times with my family, had great times

181
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 4: with my friends. But the difference between me and them

182
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 4: and me and you guys and everybody else is I

183
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 4: just can't do it.

184
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,119
Speaker 2: I mean, I have that allergy in my head and body.

185
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: You went way harder than anybody, right, Like you look

186
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: at some of these NFL guys that were in the

187
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: best shape of their life twenty years ago, they can't

188
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: get out of bed now. Or you look at like

189
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: Jeff Herod's fingers and they're all twisted and gross because

190
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 3: they went so hard in the prime of their life.

191
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: You took that approach to substances, mainly alcohol, and now

192
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 3: you're kind of like one of these NFL guys.

193
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could have learned a different language or one thousands.

194
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: A better shade to the NFL guys, Like were you

195
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: like Ben and leaving Las Vegas? Like Nicholas Cage's character

196
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: at one point where that scene where he was crawling

197
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: to the refrigerator for the vibe. Remember that scene where

198
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: he was crawling to the refrigerator and he was had

199
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: to withdrawals so bad DT's or whatever. He's pouring vodka

200
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: in one side and orange juice in the other in

201
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: his mouth like it's an upside down margarita or something

202
00:08:59,640 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: like that.

203
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 4: I wasn't gonna waste my money on orange juice. Now, Wow,

204
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 4: there was there was a difference. There are some differences

205
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 4: between that character and Nick Cage's character and leaving Las Vegas,

206
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 4: and that was the extreme. There was something oh yeah, yeah,

207
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: but I mean I didn't have like a briefcase full

208
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 4: of alcohol.

209
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: I was taken with me and preparing to die. Yeah. Thing,

210
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 2: but you know that those kind of things usually take care.

211
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: What movie or TV character was the closest to Matt Bear,

212
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 3: I would say it would be Denzel Washington in Flight.

213
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 4: This was an excellent movie and people think it's about

214
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 4: It's the one where he inverts an airplane so we

215
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: can land it, get everybody safely to the ground. And

216
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 4: he's a pilot, he's an alcoholic and I don't want

217
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 4: to spoilers here. I'm gonna spoil a little bit, so

218
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 4: spoilers here at the end of the movie.

219
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: Great movie.

220
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, He's a fantastic is such a good movie.

221
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 4: At the end of the movie, he's in front of

222
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 4: commission and they're talking about this plane landing he made,

223
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 4: and you know whether or not he was justified, and

224
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 4: it's really just a smoke screen for everything else because

225
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 4: he's going to be acquitted. Well, they found a couple

226
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 4: of empty Vanka bottles, those travel size and they were

227
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 4: gonna point it off on his girlfriend at the time,

228
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: who was a steward died.

229
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, who died. And yeah, he just kind of he's

230
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: in the whole thing.

231
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 4: He's just drunk and on blow and a thousand other things,

232
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 4: and he just looks up at the panel the prosecutors

233
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 4: and he said, yeah, it was mine.

234
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: They're just tears coming down his eyes. He left it.

235
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: He just left it all on the table.

236
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, he just finally left it out on the table.

237
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 4: And he goes to prison for seven years and he

238
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: pays for his crime. And although I didn't had that

239
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: kind of an extreme case, but I did have that

240
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 4: moment with just tears coming down from my eyes, just

241
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 4: being like, yeah, that was me, just after years and

242
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 4: years and years of wise, I really related to that scene.

243
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 4: And not because I'm Anyboddy important or I'm anything. It's

244
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 4: just having that one moment where you finally say yeah,

245
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 4: I'm ready and you say those magic words, and that

246
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 4: reminded me of me.

247
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: Now, there were some elements of Nick Cage's.

248
00:10:54,880 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: Character casino tables, blackjacked tables in Vegas.

249
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's the whole thing.

250
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, sitting at the bar being like, man, I hope

251
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 4: somebody talks to me right now.

252
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: I mean, and I hate admitting that so much, but

253
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: that's what it was. I mean by admitting that, maybe

254
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: you remember, but my.

255
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: Like, we used to play drinking games to that movie.

256
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: That's how degenerates we were. We like, every time Nicholas

257
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: Cage would take a drink in that movie before we'd

258
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: go to the bars, we'd put in that movie. Every

259
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: time he'd take a drink, we'd take a drink. And

260
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: that's kind of it was a drinking game.

261
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 3: It's going hard in the paint too, yeah.

262
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: Because it's pretty much every scene right, Yeah, when he's

263
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: signing the check at the bank and he can't do

264
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: it because he's shaking so bad, he has to go

265
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: to the bar and drink like three Vodkas and he

266
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: comes back inside steady as a finger.

267
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 2: That was me at the post office one time.

268
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, seriously, were shaking so badly and I used trying

269
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 4: to mail the package and the guy had First off,

270
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 4: I wrote my return address on there looked like chicken scratches,

271
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: and the guy kind of had to help me fill

272
00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 4: it out.

273
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: And then I made it for my name, because that's

274
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: I mean my hands.

275
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: But at least you didn't leave and go to the

276
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: bar and get straight and come back.

277
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: Oh, had a bottle at home that wasn't impressible, so okay,

278
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: But when.

279
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: You bought it, you were like Nicholas Cage in that

280
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 3: grocery store scene.

281
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: He was never happier in that scene, just like this,

282
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: just grab whatever he could off.

283
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 4: Every morning, I'm wake it up and I'm I go,

284
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 4: what did I do last night?

285
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 2: What kind of shame could I inject in myself? And

286
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: you know what, that goes away?

287
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 4: That starts to go away the longer you are sober,

288
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 4: the longer you start living a new life, and that

289
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 4: shame finally starts to go away.

290
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: But you do you wake up on the daily?

291
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: Did the shame continue? I know we're running way long

292
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: here and you got to do a traffic report, But

293
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: did the shame continue? Or did the drinking get so

294
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: bad you didn't get embarrassed anymore?

295
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 4: Oh? I was always embarrassed. The shame always continued. And

296
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 4: the only thing that makes that go away is the bottle.

297
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 4: You you go to the bottle chop and that shame

298
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: goes away again until you start a new history of it,

299
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 4: and some nights you'd wake up the next day be like,

300
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 4: I'm okay, Well that's just an excuse to keep drinking.

301
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 2: You feel good, You're feeling.

302
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,439

Speaker 2: When you're good, it doesn't matter, You're gonna drink that.

316
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: We're gonna get mad a chance to get back to

317
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 3: the traffic center. Well he gets back there. Incredible segment

318
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:51,440
