Speaker 1: And where are we going here?
Speaker 2: Anything you have a chance against us? Mister cowboy gay
Speaker 2: mother food?
Speaker 3: What you like to do?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: I don't know. Play chess, screw whether's play chest?
Speaker 3: They give off the Jonathan Taylor Chuck cunning gets way
Speaker 3: cooking the goal line.
Speaker 6: He's in there, put down and why Jonathan Taylor were.
Speaker 3: Fines car.
Speaker 7: Here's Hanniber into the front court, mishandled it against a shot,
Speaker 7: hits it.
Speaker 3: John.
Speaker 2: I have never been better to be on the air
Speaker 2: with you here in Indianapolis, a place where so many
Speaker 2: of my dreams have come true.
Speaker 7: With a ride with JMV on ninety three five and
Speaker 7: one oh seven five Tuesday. Thank you for joining us.
Speaker 7: Let's get going. That's some injuries, you know.
Speaker 3: For the first almost week's worth of get togethers up
Speaker 3: at Graham Park and Westfield, it had been relatively, if
Speaker 3: not close to entirely, injury free, and even some of
Speaker 3: the names synonymous with this team with injuries side step
Speaker 3: in the situation. But yeah, today not so much. We'll
Speaker 3: see about Jalen Jones. That's the one. When you bring
Speaker 3: the card out and take somebody off the field, that's
Speaker 3: the one. And then when you combine that with the
Speaker 3: description of non contact. Non contact is really sports injury wise,
Speaker 3: a horrific description anymore. Everybody thinks, or remember when it was, well,
Speaker 3: this is really tough, and you know you're just getting
Speaker 3: swallowed up by the tackler and getting hit real hard.
Speaker 3: You would almost rather somebody be described as being hit
Speaker 3: hard now than it being non contact. Non contact injury
Speaker 3: absolutely ends most of the time. Now, there are exceptions,
Speaker 3: justin fields last week left did he not on a
Speaker 3: cart for the Jets as their quarterback? And then hell
Speaker 3: was back the next day with a sore toe or
Speaker 3: something of I think a great deal lot of evidence
Speaker 3: in the past and experience, certainly with dealing with injuries
Speaker 3: that are described as non contact, so we will follow
Speaker 3: that story. You don't want to see anybody get injured
Speaker 3: at all, but you do really focus on that secondary
Speaker 3: because you can tell there's been an emphasis on that secondary,
Speaker 3: whether it's lou An Rumo. If you missed our conversation yesterday,
Speaker 3: which yeah, I know I did. I brought the bad
Speaker 3: luck to the Reds having Lance on, and I was
Speaker 3: skeptical about doing it, but I really wanted to talk
Speaker 3: with him and they were into game number one against
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. I felt it was a really good time
Speaker 3: and yeah, obviously my decision making was not good. Jink.
Speaker 3: It doesn't take much to Jinks the Reds. They normally
Speaker 3: do that to themselves, very handy at doing that to themselves.
Speaker 3: But I certainly helped him out yesterday. That said, we
Speaker 3: were talking to Lance McAllister about lou Ann Rumo and
Speaker 3: a concentration or a focus on the secondary, and you
Speaker 3: could tell that's what the Colts did in the off season,
Speaker 3: really went out and did that focus, whether you're talking
Speaker 3: about safety or corner. Two of the more thought of
Speaker 3: positional players of the secondary brought in high dollar amounts.
Speaker 3: Free agency goes against the grain, and you still you
Speaker 3: sit and you wait, and we probably would have would
Speaker 3: we not been even harder on Juju Brentz and his
Speaker 3: lack of availability had the quarterback not been the major
Speaker 3: focus in that category. And probably Juju gets a little bit.
Speaker 3: I don't want to say a pass that's not fair
Speaker 3: because you end up talking about it anyway, but because
Speaker 3: he's a local dude, but you just kind of sit
Speaker 3: back and unfortunately you wait a little bit. Hopefully there's
Speaker 3: nothing with Juju Brentz there with a hamstring, but he
Speaker 3: was one of those injuring notes at the end of
Speaker 3: practice earlier today, Michael Pittman junior with a groin. You know,
Speaker 3: the one thing outside of the secondary and we will
Speaker 3: get back to Jalen Jones in that category in just
Speaker 3: a second, But one thing outside the secondary is that
Speaker 3: of the wide receiver. Can somebody throw the football in
Speaker 3: their general vicinity? Because these dudes don't look bad, do
Speaker 3: they They don't look bad. There's something I guess. I'm
Speaker 3: very careful in how I say things or proclaim things
Speaker 3: now because past history wouldn't suggest that things work out
Speaker 3: of that capacity. By now, most fans out there go,
Speaker 3: all right, you're going to talk this up in the preseason,
Speaker 3: You're going to talk this up in training camp, and
Speaker 3: it's kind of described as propaganda. Yeah, I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: deal with propaganda. I'm just gonna say, as always, the
Speaker 3: ultimate test is what you see on the field on Sunday.
Speaker 3: This is all the work, This is all the craft
Speaker 3: that gets you the opportunity to show what you can do.
Speaker 3: And until that takes place, sure, because of past history,
Speaker 3: we're all going to be skeptical. There was a point
Speaker 3: of time in Colt's history around here when it was
Speaker 3: completely flipped. It was a one point eighty. It was
Speaker 3: a ride of passage. Here you go, this is going
Speaker 3: to be a thirteen win team. Didn't worry about it.
Speaker 3: All you worried about was once they got into the postseason,
Speaker 3: are they going to have home field advantage throughout? When
Speaker 3: would they meet the Patriots. You weren't worried about any
Speaker 3: of the seasonal stuff. Yeah, whatever, start of the season
Speaker 3: September October. Remember how comfortable you were when you had
Speaker 3: none of the worries that you have had in the
Speaker 3: past more than a handful of years, and what you
Speaker 3: continue to have right now. Remember how good that felt.
Speaker 3: And some have the audacity to describe us as spoiled.
Speaker 3: Nothing being spoiled it that's what you came to expect
Speaker 3: because back then that's what you were told. And then
Speaker 3: what you were told then was backed up. What you
Speaker 3: have been told in the past again handful of years
Speaker 3: up until now has not been backed up. You've been
Speaker 3: told something and you have seen a delivery of something
Speaker 3: completely different and very underwhelming truth be told. So getting
Speaker 3: back to the point of emphasis, here it is always
Speaker 3: just a wait and see until things matter, until they count,
Speaker 3: or as I've described it, I sound like the real
Speaker 3: world promo until things get real. But the wide receiver category,
Speaker 3: if somebody can maybe direct the football in their general vicinity,
Speaker 3: and frankly, I don't care who it is, and I've
Speaker 3: said all along it's going to be Anthony Richardson. Just
Speaker 3: if not, then why do you even jack with it?
Speaker 3: But whomever is capable of putting it in a general
Speaker 3: vicinity of some of these guys, I think you give
Speaker 3: your team a chance because some of these guys they're
Speaker 3: gonna catch it are good. Jonathan Taylor running, it's good.
Speaker 3: Oftentimes we like cover everything else up with the depression
Speaker 3: of a very disappointing team. And the problem is if
Speaker 3: you have a quarterback that has been disappointing, then that
Speaker 3: is going to shadow the rest of the team. Very
Speaker 3: rarely are you able to wiggle out of issues that
Speaker 3: are created by your signal caller, whether it's unavailability or
Speaker 3: lack of execution or inefficiency whatever. So yeah, we sit
Speaker 3: here and we wait. But the wide receiver position, I
Speaker 3: will say this, I try not to get overly excited
Speaker 3: about a lot of stuff, but one is interesting. This
Speaker 3: is not a guy that's been described as a rookie
Speaker 3: has to be just one thing or the other. And
Speaker 3: still the test is going to be when things matter.
Speaker 3: But the guy so far has given you us no
Speaker 3: reason to feel that he is nothing but absolutely legit.
Speaker 3: And it's always great when you have a dude that
Speaker 3: can do a lot of different things. How many years
Speaker 3: have the Colts had a tight End or that position
Speaker 3: and nothing against it, but it's been well, that guy's
Speaker 3: really good at this. But that's so good, you're kind
Speaker 3: of mixing and matching. So you're going to be like
Speaker 3: the pacers at Center this year. You're gonna mix and
Speaker 3: you're gonna match. Remember when Napoleon Dynamite and the thrift
Speaker 3: store wanted to buy the twenty four pack, but it's dad,
Speaker 3: he had to get the twelve pack. You got to
Speaker 3: mix in your match because Uncle Rico was laying down
Speaker 3: the financial law in the family. If you got to
Speaker 3: mix in your match at tight End. Over the years,
Speaker 3: and this guy looks like he's going to be able
Speaker 3: to do some things. Some things that you watch and
Speaker 3: you have deeply rooted admiration for others around the NFL
Speaker 3: that they're capable of doing. Yeah, I know that. You know,
Speaker 3: like like Kelsey is like a oh ho home, you're
Speaker 3: gonna talk about this guy again. I know that his
Speaker 3: girlfriend or his relationship has kind of overwhelmed his play
Speaker 3: on the field. Swamped it if you will, you know,
Speaker 3: you're not so much worried about on the field anymore.
Speaker 3: All you end up talking about what's going on, you know,
Speaker 3: off the field, whether he's doing a podcast with his brother,
Speaker 3: or he's ad a Taylor Swift concert or whatever. But
Speaker 3: he's a guy that has been for so many years
Speaker 3: such a legitimate threat from that position. But man Warren
Speaker 3: has just done so much and we're always looking for
Speaker 3: that dog. He definitely looks like a dog. Hopefully that's
Speaker 3: the case. Again, you get to prove it, but hopefully
Speaker 3: that's the case. I mentioned. I double back to Jalen
Speaker 3: Jones apparently left as described. We'll talk to Joel A.
Speaker 3: Erickson of The Star coming up here in the four
Speaker 3: o'clock hour about that situation. Hamstring pain, caught it off.
Speaker 3: All these things are not good. Hopefully you just err
Speaker 3: on the side of caution and that's that. But the
Speaker 3: whole non contact thing and then cart it off seemingly
Speaker 3: would and should worry absolutely everybody. So we'll see, and
Speaker 3: he's gonna be a guy that's gonna be counted on,
Speaker 3: you know, in the running, in the running for the
Speaker 3: other side of Mooney, obviously with Kenny Moore back there.
Speaker 3: But then you have Juju Brandt who goes out with
Speaker 3: a hamstring and he, simply put has been a guy
Speaker 3: that you cannot count on to remain healthy, you hope,
Speaker 3: because seemingly he has a skill set that's necessary, you hope.
Speaker 3: But he's not been able to be counted on so far.
Speaker 3: So that is an update right there, and we'll talk
Speaker 3: to Joel about the quarterbacks. Somebody had brought this up
Speaker 3: to me, and I guess I don't notice because I
Speaker 3: don't pay as much attention as everybody else does to
Speaker 3: what absolutely everybody is saying. And believe me, all these
Speaker 3: guys worked their ass off of covering this team, and
Speaker 3: my ass here as hell is not out there until Thursday.
Speaker 3: So I give credit where credit is due, always have
Speaker 3: and always will. I just haven't noticed that some people
Speaker 3: have said, do you know that all you see are
Speaker 3: the good plays from Anthony Richardson? You don't really see
Speaker 3: too much from Daniel Jones, do you. I haven't really noticed.
Speaker 3: And one of the reasons why I haven't noticed is
Speaker 3: I have expected the entire time that Richardson was going
Speaker 3: to be the guy and was going to start Week
Speaker 3: one unless he was just absolutely awful and or unavailable,
Speaker 3: as I've explained in the past, if he doesn't, if
Speaker 3: you're beaten out by a guy that has been let's
Speaker 3: just say it, but the New York Giants, he's been
Speaker 3: a disappointment. There's a reason why he was available. Now
Speaker 3: I will say this by whatever means necessary. You don't care.
Speaker 3: You don't care. But in a perfect world, which we're
Speaker 3: far from that, and cert only haven't been that around
Speaker 3: here for years. But in a perfect world, you would
Speaker 3: much rather see the guy that they drafted number four
Speaker 3: overall finally come into his own. But at this point
Speaker 3: in time, I mean, hell, you don't care if I
Speaker 3: play quarterback, and if I'm good at quarterback. You just
Speaker 3: want to go down there and be entertained and see
Speaker 3: some winning and not played. Just one weekend into January,
Speaker 3: for God's sake, I mentioned the right of passage. It
Speaker 3: used to be and now you're stuck in that what
Speaker 3: Buffalo was or what the Bengals were back in the day.
Speaker 3: You're stuck in that rut where you simply put, can't
Speaker 3: get out of it. Into the show yesterday, if somebody
Speaker 3: had called, you know, and I can't remember exactly who
Speaker 3: it was, was a brand and I don't think it
Speaker 3: was Mona on John he was talking about the guy
Speaker 3: de Mona and who broke a stick in front of
Speaker 3: our faces years ago. But if somebody else that was
Speaker 3: talking about yeah, you know, it's a little underwhelming right now,
Speaker 3: a little apathetic, and this is something else that the
Speaker 3: cults are going to have to do. They're gonna have
Speaker 3: to do, They're gonna have to prove. This is not
Speaker 3: one of these things where you just show up in
Speaker 3: week number one and hey, everybody believes that you're going
Speaker 3: to be unbeaten and you're going to the super Bowl.
Speaker 3: This is a team that has a lot to live
Speaker 3: up to. This is a team that's done basically the
Speaker 3: same damn thing for a number of years, and they've
Speaker 3: gone with the same group for a number of years,
Speaker 3: with the exception now of a defensive coordinator. So I guess,
Speaker 3: as you could say if you're from where I'm from
Speaker 3: in southern Indiana, ain't nobody buying that blank until you
Speaker 3: see it. And that makes a lot of sense. And
Speaker 3: then we'll watch for some of the reports on Jalen Jones,
Speaker 3: but on Rymond got that extension. We talked about that
Speaker 3: last week. There was the art of negotiation that was
Speaker 3: going well done by the Austrie. He was on with
Speaker 3: Jake and you can kind of tell a little bit
Speaker 3: of an angle being presented there. It's what happens. Then
Speaker 3: something less than a week later got done. And I
Speaker 3: will say this the left tackle, much like what we're
Speaker 3: talking about, until proven otherwise, with the team playing well
Speaker 3: until proven otherwise, this guy has been legit. That is
Speaker 3: a really good thing. Now we'll talk that a lot
Speaker 3: of colts for you. Joe a ericson of the Star
Speaker 3: a further break. I'm actually watching him in the video.
Speaker 3: He was on the side where Braden Smith is talking
Speaker 3: on this video right now, and my man is absolutely
Speaker 3: sweating through the shirt right there. If you go out
Speaker 3: there and you're sitting in a heat like that, do
Speaker 3: you strategically wear a shirt to where you don't have
Speaker 3: sweat and pitstains anybody do. That doesn't matter because I
Speaker 3: would not wear navy blue or gray out there, and
Speaker 3: I don't look in the mirror and go. And I
Speaker 3: know somebody called me douchey the other day, which yeah,
Speaker 3: I do have kind of an issue with that. I'm
Speaker 3: trying to keep a competitive balance in my bad right now.
Speaker 3: I'm staying hillbilly true to form while also adding a
Speaker 3: bit of how'd I describe it, of douche toxicity. So
Speaker 3: I'm trying to have an even balance. I think I
Speaker 3: have even to out a little bit, but sometimes I
Speaker 3: think the douche and this does take over my bad.
Speaker 3: Not really worried about what I wear, and I'm sure
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about what anybody else wears. What you want,
Speaker 3: but I think, strategically speaking, if I'm going to go
Speaker 3: out there, it's either going to be something white right,
Speaker 3: or like Mike Chappell, I heard him mention yesterday whatever
Speaker 3: it was, that he wore a black shirt. Well, you
Speaker 3: wear that right, even when it's hot like this, so
Speaker 3: you don't sweat your ass off in front absolutely everybody.
Speaker 3: I think that's pretty smart. Don't look like sw was it?
Speaker 3: Shawn Miller and my Seawan Miller was wearing a white
Speaker 3: shirt years ago. Remember when you had the white shirt
Speaker 3: on and the undershirt underneath it, and he was just
Speaker 3: like sweating. You could like see like he had man
Speaker 3: nip showing through and stuff. As the head coach then
Speaker 3: of Arizona. Sometimes it just doesn't matter.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 3: No, that's what you guys all expected on this Tuesday
Speaker 3: afternoon is some dressing pointers in the heat. For me,
Speaker 3: if it were me, I think we all just go
Speaker 3: shirtless and call it a day. But among the things
Speaker 3: we do in this world, evidently that's frowned upon. So
Speaker 3: we won't on Thursday, where also, I believe the forecast
Speaker 3: calls for it being much cooler, which is cool by me.
Speaker 3: I'll see what up there coming up on Thursday too.
Speaker 3: That is a night gathering, and we will be up there.
Speaker 3: I have no idea. I will give a shout out.
Speaker 3: And he probably heard the crossover with Jake and I
Speaker 3: a little bit earlier. Sometimes I tend to get a
Speaker 3: little bit salty with those they don't get back with us,
Speaker 3: and I know that that's okay, We're not their major focus.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean at some point maybe you should
Speaker 3: and I have to give a tip of the cap
Speaker 3: because I have nothing but done nothing but rail on
Speaker 3: the Colts for how many years now? And they never
Speaker 3: stop putting people on this show, never stop. It is
Speaker 3: quite amazing. I mean, railed upon railed upon railed. There's
Speaker 3: a video this goes back to I think it was
Speaker 3: the combine before last. You guys remember that video with
Speaker 3: Chris Baller with me, and you can tell Chris Baalow
Speaker 3: would have rather have been anywhere than sitting talking to
Speaker 3: my dumbass. You could tell arms are crossed. Hey you
Speaker 3: got a root canal or an enema or anything you
Speaker 3: can do. Can you get this clown away from me?
Speaker 3: With his Q and a bull crap? It was awesome,
Speaker 3: But you know what, there he was, and there he
Speaker 3: was next year, there they were with a guy. It's
Speaker 3: I'll give credit where credit is due. Off the times
Speaker 3: when you're hardcore on a team, especially for a number
Speaker 3: of years, and that's all they've heard, they can and
Speaker 3: would shut you down. But the shout out to Matt
Speaker 3: Connie and company for doing that. That is just professionals.
Speaker 3: Hell I do. I never try to make it personal.
Speaker 3: It is always professional. It may be inaccurate, but nothing's
Speaker 3: ever personal. It's just weird. And the one that we
Speaker 3: beef on the most, give you the most, and the ones,
Speaker 3: oh we can't, we don't have time today. I'm not
Speaker 3: really that angry about Felix either. Now if he was
Speaker 3: on the play, he was on a plane whatever. But
Speaker 3: it's one of those things where had Brent Halverson on
Speaker 3: a Thursday and I go, man, you're going to be
Speaker 3: driving that grateful dead livery and honestly nobody cares. I mean,
Speaker 3: you're out in Laguna, say you're going to Portland. Let's
Speaker 3: give you a little bit of love right here. And
Speaker 3: then well the timing was off. Okay, sorry about that.
Speaker 3: I would come in here and like three I will
Speaker 3: say this, James, you can put that out there. If
Speaker 3: somebody the Fever would ever call you back, I'll come
Speaker 3: here at three in the morning and tape them. I
Speaker 3: swear to God, I'll come right in here at three
Speaker 3: am and tapeum if anybody ever calls you back. The
Speaker 3: one time we got Lexi on this show was because
Speaker 3: the trainer listened to the show, remember, and she was
Speaker 3: on the training table. Well I'll keep that in mind,
Speaker 3: thank you, just say whatever. Twenty four seven three sixty five.
Speaker 3: My man's open like seven eleven right here, seven eleven's
Speaker 3: back right as a part of speedway. You just tell
Speaker 3: him I'm here. I'm here when they need me. Hey,
Speaker 3: we were Also, this was at the end of the
Speaker 3: show yesterday and I did want to work this in
Speaker 3: before the break man Jason Hammer has a new camera
Speaker 3: and I swear is it making me look like extra white? Look?
Speaker 3: I look like they used to make fun of me
Speaker 3: all the time, the baggery at the other station. They
Speaker 3: called me powder. You ever see the movie Powder? So
Speaker 3: I look like powder? Well, James, I got right. We've
Speaker 3: got a little bronzing going on right here? Can you
Speaker 3: tell that there's bronzing? So I do a video before
Speaker 3: the start of the show with Hammer and Nigel ninety
Speaker 3: three WIBC. And I don't know does Hammer put the
Speaker 3: damn powder filter on me or what? It looks like.
Speaker 3: I've been vacationing in Antarctica.
Speaker 9: It looks like it may just be a little bit
Speaker 9: blown out from the lights. It may just.
Speaker 3: So you're saying that I need some special lighting. Yeah, exactly, cool, Okay,
Speaker 3: that makes me feel a lot better. We need to
Speaker 3: up the production value. Special lighting for this guy.
Speaker 5: Please.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually muffed the post for the first time
Speaker 3: in forever, but then I redeemed myself. I didn't hit
Speaker 3: to Billy Idole, but I came back and got to
Speaker 3: Billy Ocean, so that was good. That video is up
Speaker 3: right now if you guys want to check it out.
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, I think I've already retweeted that or
Speaker 3: I'm sorry re exed it. At this point I should
Speaker 3: probably know better. Oh yeah, I did want to mention
Speaker 3: this too. When I brought up yesterday at the end
Speaker 3: of the show the espresso martini because of Pickle on
Speaker 3: Pin where Steve has that on his menu, Pickle on
Speaker 3: Pin that, I said that that is like a drink
Speaker 3: that maybe the most popular cocktail right now. With the ladies.
Speaker 3: Lindsay Monroe counted that and.
Speaker 5: Said absolutely no ditch you.
Speaker 2: Yeah nice.
Speaker 3: They had evidently she and Josh at their wedding here
Speaker 3: about a month ago, they had that as an espresso
Speaker 3: martini bar, so I guess it, Yeah, an espresso martini bar.
Speaker 3: They had her at the wedding. At the wedding, so
Speaker 3: that's a brown drink. Someone who paid for that. It's
Speaker 3: a brown drink and a white dress. You gotta be
Speaker 3: you gotta be careful. Yeah, brown drake, white dress. Shout
Speaker 3: out to Lindsay and Josh. By the way, I think
Speaker 3: they're about a month in being married. Good luck. I'm
Speaker 3: just joking now, seriously, you don't need luck. You guys
Speaker 3: love one another. Everything will be great. But yeah, Tyrone's
Speaker 3: backing me up on that whole Martini thing right there.
Speaker 3: We got to talk to Steve sometimes so I can
Speaker 3: get into my HEMMI no, my Miami, my uh, my
Speaker 3: achilles right here is a little sore. So I agreed
Speaker 3: to play hoop tonight. Right now, I would say I'm
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty, but I'll probably get a set I
Speaker 3: can win here a little bit later on what's happening
Speaker 3: right there?
Speaker 9: You still got the boot?
Speaker 3: Got the boot? I wear the boot all the time. Seriously,
Speaker 3: I wear the boot. I'm just gonna wear the boot
Speaker 3: all the time. Seriously. Why not because I think the
Speaker 3: boot helps. They'd have to be an orthopedic surgeon that
Speaker 3: could tell me I think the boot actually helps me.
Speaker 3: True story. Now quickly, I'll come back. Joel a ericson
Speaker 3: of the Star coming up after four. Greg's gonna join
Speaker 3: us on the other side. That's Greg Rigstraw. Get a
Speaker 3: lot more for you on this show. And yeah, I
Speaker 3: know I did jinx the Reds yesterday. I'll try to
Speaker 3: make up for that coming up later on today and
Speaker 3: I will get into even as a non Cubs fan,
Speaker 3: what Ryan Sandberg meant to me. All baseball fans, I'm assuming,
Speaker 3: especially if you grew up in my era, would agree.
Speaker 3: R Ip to one of the Goats. Quick Break, the
Speaker 3: stream of the app HD Radio, the Triple A Membership
Speaker 3: Lounge via youtubelod ninety three five and one seven five.
Speaker 5: The Fan, The Ride with JMV.
Speaker 3: Hey my buddy ahead over there.
Speaker 4: I want to go over there once and.
Speaker 7: I'm driving Nutty three five and one oh seven five
Speaker 7: The Fan.
Speaker 3: They welcome back now Joel A. Ericsson, the Colts. Basically
Speaker 3: a weekend now Thursday from me up in Westfield. I'll
Speaker 3: look for you guys all up there too. Who was
Speaker 3: it yesterday they called and said they're gonna give me
Speaker 3: a beer? Well done. I think the dude said, hey,
Speaker 3: well I don't drink, and I said, well, hey I do.
Speaker 3: Now I'll see you all up in Westfield coming up
Speaker 3: on Thursday. Actually, I think twice I go, this is
Speaker 3: they and then next Thursday or two weeks. I don't know,
Speaker 3: something like that. I know, see Todd sent me this
Speaker 3: schedule about a thousand times. I believe I haven't memorized
Speaker 3: by now. But yes, two Thursdays, Yeah.
Speaker 9: Two Thursdays, this Thursday, and then Thursday the fourteenth.
Speaker 3: Yes, So I also need to tell my folks I'm
Speaker 3: going to do. This is great, right, so I'm doing
Speaker 3: some speaking engagement on the fourteenth, some speaking engagement.
Speaker 9: Oh, yes, they may have added another day. Yeah, it
Speaker 9: looks like you're there Monday the eleventh.
Speaker 5: Monday the eleventh.
Speaker 3: Cool. I think I have a meeting with wind Shoolers.
Speaker 3: You know, wind Shoolers. Cheese is coming back. The cheese
Speaker 3: is coming out the cheeses because the spreadability is coming back.
Speaker 9: That's been a minute.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a year before last. Yeah, and we turned
Speaker 3: them on their ear or two. They ran out of
Speaker 3: cheese everywhere, like the world of spreadable cheese was absolutely
Speaker 3: thrown on its ear by being a part of this show.
Speaker 9: That does that mean they're going to come back in
Speaker 9: with some free sampling of set product.
Speaker 3: I'm assuming free sampling. I I just got to figure
Speaker 3: out in what context I will eat it? How do
Speaker 3: I put it?
Speaker 9: That's true?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do I put it on? Any vexibles?
Speaker 9: Can you mix it with cottage cheese? Or do you
Speaker 9: think it goes well on your tuna?
Speaker 3: I don't eat tuna, so yeah, I have to put
Speaker 3: it on some sort of vegetable probably probably.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The spread ability's back coming up this fall, which you
Speaker 3: guys have all been waiting on right there on the
Speaker 3: Andy Moore Automotive Group hoodline. Something else you were waiting
Speaker 3: on Greg Reikstraw, who is not so fresh back from
Speaker 3: Iceland and had a planes and trains and automobiles type
Speaker 3: of experience trying to get his ass home, didn't.
Speaker 10: You, Buddy, Well, I had to settle for doing three
Speaker 10: and a half hours of radio from the brickyard and
Speaker 10: not six.
Speaker 3: So yeah, for stepping in. That's always good. That's always good. Here. Hey,
Speaker 3: shout out to Todd Meyer, by the way, So Todd
Speaker 3: Byer was in Michigan when he was orchestrating this because
Speaker 3: of the whole flight situation with you, and was kind
Speaker 3: enough to bring me back a case of the Bat's
Speaker 3: Blue Light in bottles and a case of the Bat's
Speaker 3: Blue non alcoholic in bottles.
Speaker 10: Well, why would you get the non alcoholic, Joe.
Speaker 3: No, it's for somebody else, not for me. Okay, now
Speaker 3: it's all I go alcoholic, go home. That's what they say.
Speaker 10: So you did two and a half hours of radio
Speaker 10: and you got a case of the Bats, and you
Speaker 10: got an Iceland football chart out of there.
Speaker 3: Yes, I did win for years. That was a big
Speaker 3: win right there. Now, where are you with the Bat's Blue?
Speaker 10: If somebody hands me a cold beer, I'll drink it, John,
Speaker 10: that's going to where I'm at.
Speaker 3: I loved the Bats, but I drank le Bat's Blue
Speaker 3: in college and Indian of the State.
Speaker 10: I think all of us went through a Canadian beer
Speaker 10: phase in college.
Speaker 3: We did it.
Speaker 4: For me.
Speaker 5: It was Molson Canadian.
Speaker 10: Was the beer nineteen ninety five?
Speaker 3: Was it Molson Golden? Do they still make Molson Golden?
Speaker 3: That was popular back in the nineties two.
Speaker 10: It was just straight Molson Canadian. There was a Triple
Speaker 10: A baseball team in Vancouver that was the Canadians, and
Speaker 10: basically it was the logo off of the beer bottle,
Speaker 10: and so that was, you know, whatever, Molson Eyes because
Speaker 10: we were you know, we grew up in the ice
Speaker 10: beer age.
Speaker 3: Yes, we did.
Speaker 10: Do you'll make the beer cool, just put ice on
Speaker 10: the name. It makes it be cool, right right. So
Speaker 10: add to Molson Eyes because I did have a can
Speaker 10: of the Trip for like a week when I was
Speaker 10: in college in the summer of ninety five. But of
Speaker 10: the Molson family of beers, Molson Canadian was my favorite.
Speaker 3: Do you think ice Tea or ice Cube ever tried
Speaker 3: to sue because they were the major reasons why I
Speaker 3: always felt the ice beer craze took place in the nineties.
Speaker 10: No, man, it was what made him popular. Is it
Speaker 10: was free advertising for him?
Speaker 3: Oh you think so? And there was absolutely like Ice
Speaker 3: Cubes was always trying to make a buck out of that.
Speaker 3: I'd think he'd the first one to go, well, wait
Speaker 3: a minute, all of a sudden we got all this
Speaker 3: ice stuff going on.
Speaker 10: Both those guys have fared pretty well in life. I
Speaker 10: think you made it out, Okay.
Speaker 3: I will tell you this. There was a I went
Speaker 3: through a small craze in the late nineties early two
Speaker 3: thousands with J. W. Dundee's Honey Brown Did you nevergot
Speaker 3: about it until I found out it was like five
Speaker 3: hundred calories of bottle.
Speaker 10: Well, apparently I've been drinking them for some time and
Speaker 10: apparently JW.
Speaker 3: Did you ever have any j W. Dundees Brown.
Speaker 10: It was phenomenal beer, I know what, like drinking a
Speaker 10: cinnamon role apparently, And I.
Speaker 3: Went through a lot of the the ice beer phase
Speaker 3: of the Bat's blue phase, the amstell light phase. I
Speaker 3: had some of that last weekend and it wasn't what
Speaker 3: I thought. It was amstill light, so yeah, but also JW.
Speaker 3: Honey Brown.
Speaker 10: We we would have to pay the rent kegger last
Speaker 10: Friday of every month, and one day we stumbled into
Speaker 10: getting a Killian's Irish red keg, and like this pre
Speaker 10: social media, words spread around on campus and the party
Speaker 10: got just a little bit too big. I was getting
Speaker 10: a little bit nervous, yes, but Rehet was well paid
Speaker 10: that month.
Speaker 3: ME tell you over in Tera Hate at the then
Speaker 3: and I'm obviously with somebody else now. But in ninety
Speaker 3: three ninety two, ninety three was a party cast go
Speaker 3: over on Third Street and we would go get a
Speaker 3: keg of bush Light draft. That was the go too.
Speaker 3: But I would take because they would send me back
Speaker 3: to the cooler and I would like carry it out.
Speaker 3: I would take one of the lids the Heineken caps
Speaker 3: off the Heineken keg and then put that with and
Speaker 3: people would go up and like like pump the keg
Speaker 3: and think that it was Heineken, when in fact it
Speaker 3: was bush light draft. I thought that was savvy as hell.
Speaker 10: And they frankly wouldn't know the difference.
Speaker 3: It wouldn't.
Speaker 10: So the mini bar in the room on the cruise,
Speaker 10: you know, had like two coach two four things and Tito's,
Speaker 10: a couple of bottles of Heavy and the Heavy Phenomenal,
Speaker 10: and a couple of Heinekens, and basically we had the packageer.
Speaker 10: You could drink anywhere on the boat, you know, for free.
Speaker 10: And so it was a lot of mccartis and.
Speaker 4: Coach because they're on vacations.
Speaker 10: What you do even with fifty five degrees right, you know,
Speaker 10: I would have penia coladas looking at icebergs. It was
Speaker 10: a wonderful trip. I had the one Heineken in my
Speaker 10: room and I got about happening him like this is
Speaker 10: absolute swill. So yes, playing that off as a bush
Speaker 10: light is perfectly bolt.
Speaker 4: Up by you.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, hey, by the way, gritty says Molsten Golden
Speaker 3: was our beer of choice at the Office Lounge in
Speaker 3: the early nineties. That's the Office Lounge on the East
Speaker 3: third Street in Bloomington. That's a place where we need
Speaker 3: a tavern tour stop the Office Lounge in Bloomington.
Speaker 10: For sure, you're pimping out. You had one tavern two
Speaker 10: or stup available. There you go, are you going to beat.
Speaker 3: And that would be what you know we're going to
Speaker 3: in September, We're doing a largecaebourbon locks and the Lunazul
Speaker 3: tequila shots from the upstairs pub.
Speaker 10: There you go. That's nice, well done.
Speaker 3: That is nice. Hey, I wanted to ask you regarding
Speaker 3: a lot is made about the quarter of situation. Somebody
Speaker 3: had said, all we do is see they're really good
Speaker 3: throws by Richardson, and you know that's just angling to
Speaker 3: give him the starting job. And while I listen, it's
Speaker 3: okay if you described this as a competition, the worst
Speaker 3: case scenario in this competition is if Richardson gets beaten
Speaker 3: out in it. Would you not agree?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I would agree with that, But again I legitimately
Speaker 10: think whoever the better quarterbacks is at the end of
Speaker 10: August will be the starter. Because everybody knows you've got
Speaker 10: to win now or if not, it's reset time. I
Speaker 10: will say this, having been there for the last three practices,
Speaker 10: I have seen more good than bad from Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 10: You're seeing some more touch on some throws, and it's
Speaker 10: not just the you know, fifty yard bomb. He's throwing
Speaker 10: the outs a lot better. There's still some bad plays
Speaker 10: in there, Like literally, there's this little set they run
Speaker 10: on the goal line today that is supposed to be
Speaker 10: kind of a shovel pass to Tyler war and he
Speaker 10: threw it from four feet away, through it a foot
Speaker 10: behind him, and I'm like, I'm like, I could make
Speaker 10: that throw. How are you missing that? But at the
Speaker 10: same time, I've been watching the last couple of days,
Speaker 10: I saw more good plays than bad, and I saw
Speaker 10: throws that have given him fits be done better. Is
Speaker 10: it perfect though? But did he kind of look more
Speaker 10: like the guy as a rookie that was a sixty
Speaker 10: percent passer, which is much closer to what you need
Speaker 10: to be in the National Footballleague to be successful than
Speaker 10: say being a guy who was subbed fifty percent, which
Speaker 10: gets people fired. He looked more like like like the
Speaker 10: first guy I mentioned. So there's still there's still a
Speaker 10: lot of proof of the pudding in terms of what
Speaker 10: he looks like in preseason games, what he looks like
Speaker 10: in regular season games, but based on what on all
Speaker 10: we have to judge it on. So far through a
Speaker 10: week of training camp, there are places where I see
Speaker 10: improvement from Anthony Richards.
Speaker 3: Greg Gregsaw's on the Andy Moore autoim ontive group pile line.
Speaker 3: He was at coach practice a little bit earlier today.
Speaker 3: That's probably all out in the proverbial wash here on
Speaker 3: either side. But do you think that it is more
Speaker 3: this wide receiving corps that would have the opportunity because
Speaker 3: I think that we downplay them a little bit, or
Speaker 3: they're downplayed nationally a little bit because they haven't had
Speaker 3: an accurate quarterback throwing to them. I think if somebody
Speaker 3: is in their general vicinity, I think they can make
Speaker 3: that somebody look good. Do you think that is a
Speaker 3: possibility or is it more you have to be on
Speaker 3: target with these guys to make the quarterback whomever this
Speaker 3: is going to be, look good.
Speaker 10: I really don't have a question about the about the
Speaker 10: skill position players for the Colts. I honestly don't now
Speaker 10: other than quarterback that Obviously we have questions about that,
Speaker 10: but Jonavan Taylor, we know what he's about. Tyler Warren,
Speaker 10: we saw it at Penn State, and I think that
Speaker 10: still set translates to the National Football League. There are
Speaker 10: questions about a d Mitchell. Again, he made some nice
Speaker 10: plays today too, but frankly, you know, he's kind of
Speaker 10: fourth a depth chart right now. And I like the
Speaker 10: three guys that are in front of him in terms
Speaker 10: of Pierce, in terms of downs, in terms of Pittman.
Speaker 10: So I do think this wide receiver group is solid
Speaker 10: and capable. I like what the edition of Warren is
Speaker 10: a tied end. We know what Jonathan Taylor is about.
Speaker 10: There's always question marks in every team if somebody were
Speaker 10: to get hurt, but I you know whoever the quarterback
Speaker 10: is going to be. I think that quarterback has the
Speaker 10: skill position weapons to be successful.
Speaker 3: Greg graystraws with us. We both grew up Reds fans. However,
Speaker 3: I'm assuming if you're like me, and you are, you
Speaker 3: had a great deal of admiration because in the cable era,
Speaker 3: even though I didn't have it, I got to see
Speaker 3: it more often than not at different places that you
Speaker 3: saw the afternoon comes games and he was an incredibly
Speaker 3: special player, and yesterday we learned he passed away. What
Speaker 3: Ryan and Sanborg is a player mean to you as
Speaker 3: a budding baseball fan in the.
Speaker 10: Day, Well, obviously you saw him in every All Star
Speaker 10: Game for the other part of a decade. And yes
Speaker 10: there was the rub that all of baseball got, but
Speaker 10: especially the Cubs in the Atlanta Braves because you knew
Speaker 10: they were going to be on every day. And I
Speaker 10: think you and I lived a similar existence. My guess
Speaker 10: is you didn't get cable until you went to college
Speaker 10: for the first time.
Speaker 3: Nineteen eighty eight, we got a satellite dish, one of
Speaker 3: those big moon Raker things that got everything. That's the
Speaker 3: first time I had cable.
Speaker 10: For some reason. My mom and dad got satellite when
Speaker 10: I moved away, too, so I literally I remember being
Speaker 10: able to watch the US Open on you say in
Speaker 10: the fall of ninety four, I moved to the University
Speaker 10: of Indianapolis, thinking cable is great. I may never leave
Speaker 10: the room again. So did I watch Rono play on
Speaker 10: WGN when I was at a buddy's house or staying
Speaker 10: with somebody. But was there more love for him nationally
Speaker 10: because of the timing of when he played for the Cubs. Yes,
Speaker 10: but was he a no doubt about thet Hall of Famer. Absolutely,
Speaker 10: and for the most part, other than eighty four and
Speaker 10: eighty nine, he was a great player on bad teams,
Speaker 10: you know, for the better part of a decade. So
Speaker 10: any one of our age knows how wonderful of a
Speaker 10: baseball player Ryan Sandberg was. And frankly, virtually every story
Speaker 10: you have heard over the last twenty four hours since
Speaker 10: his passion became public was that. I mean, in virtually
Speaker 10: every meeting in a public setting. He was an absolutely
Speaker 10: first class person too.
Speaker 3: Speaking of baseball, I'm trying really hard not to junks
Speaker 3: the Reds, but I may have done it with Lance
Speaker 3: McAllister yesterday. Every time I get excited about this group,
Speaker 3: they end up crapping the bed every time.
Speaker 10: There is something to be said about playing the Dodgers.
Speaker 10: The Dodgers are pretty good, so maybe that was more
Speaker 10: about what the Dodgers did.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, but the Reds are still, organizationally speaking, habitual bedcrappers.
Speaker 10: They also have a couple of to get teams in
Speaker 10: front of them too, so they're at least in the mix,
Speaker 10: which they were at the start.
Speaker 4: Of the season.
Speaker 3: Greg Reigshaw's on the Andy Moore on a Motive Group plotline.
Speaker 3: Hopefully I see you out there on Thursday. How about
Speaker 3: that you will not come.
Speaker 10: I'm booked elsewhere on Thursday. I've got the City League
Speaker 10: Finals on Thursday, So my next appearance at Colts Camp
Speaker 10: will be on Sunday. But I'm sure our pass will.
Speaker 3: Cross the City League Finals at Basketball that is basketball.
Speaker 10: That it's twenty to thirty year old Basketball League. A
Speaker 10: lot of the guys that have played in that final
Speaker 10: over the years were actually playing in the TVT event
Speaker 10: in Wichita this weekend the fale Harder team, So it
Speaker 10: has kind of some different teams. So Aaron Henry, Robert Glenn,
Speaker 10: Tayshawn Johnson, Trevion Blewett, We're all playing in the men's
Speaker 10: championship game, which is at a twenty. The WIMS championship
Speaker 10: game has three of the Gods sisters on one team.
Speaker 10: The other team is led by Ali Becky, who just
Speaker 10: graduated at Ball State from Browns is part of their
Speaker 10: state runner up team four years ago and they are
Speaker 10: playing for a cash prize honor fitness center at Tech
Speaker 10: and we'll have that for a six consecutive year on
Speaker 10: ISC women's game at seven o'clock men's game at eight twenty.
Speaker 3: Well done, right there. Jesse Bengam was playing on that
Speaker 3: TV t right on Fail Harder.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he was on the Failed Heart So Darius Adams, Yeah,
Speaker 10: obviously you ind legend has been over in China.
Speaker 3: He put up forty two in that game the other.
Speaker 10: Night, which is kind of what Darius has done as
Speaker 10: a probe for the better part of the last ten
Speaker 10: to fifteen years. But Kobe Webster from Park Tudor was
Speaker 10: a big part of that, and those guys made it
Speaker 10: as difficult as possible and came damn close to making
Speaker 10: in the semi finals.
Speaker 3: Greg Greg straws are the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline.
Speaker 3: My brother will see you very soon. Thanks for the shirt.

Speaker 3: on the show coming up tomorrow. I am going to
Speaker 3: be at Colts Camp in Westfield for the first time
Speaker 3: on Thursday. And you know, oddly enough, all that it
Speaker 3: takes is finally giving me the opportunity to go and
Speaker 3: attend and do the show up there. And the skies
Speaker 3: that were clear clear even more, the temperatures, the humidity
Speaker 3: all fall and yeah, it becomes shangri la to a degree,
Speaker 3: who's been fighting through the heats. Well. Our next guest
Speaker 3: on the Andy Moore Automotive Group Potline from the Indianapolis Star,
Speaker 3: he covers the Colts. Joe A. Erickson was us and
Speaker 3: you know I've mentioned this before. Unfortunately, at the age
Speaker 3: of fifty five, I'm kind of this perfect mixture between
Speaker 3: hillbilly and douchey. So the douchey and me wanted to know,
Speaker 3: do you, strategically during these hot and humid days like today,
Speaker 3: for example, select a shirt so you don't get sweat
Speaker 3: and pit stains going when you're covering the colts up there.
Speaker 6: You know what, that's a that's a good question. Uh
Speaker 6: we what a time I always have, so I'm kind
Speaker 6: of out of luck on that, but I do pretty
Speaker 6: much the uh the dry fits now. If I have
Speaker 6: to do spot for my friends at Fox fifty nine
Speaker 6: and TVs four, yes, often breathe a second T shirt,
Speaker 6: a second polo shirt in order to, uh to avoid
Speaker 6: some of those those issues.
Speaker 3: So unlike you, when I'm on with our friends, you
Speaker 3: do first, and Joel, I do when they call me,
Speaker 3: and most of the time i'm you know, hopefully I'm
Speaker 3: not drunk on a Sunday to come on their Sunday show.
Speaker 3: Uh normally I do it shirtless. So yeah, there's a
Speaker 3: huge gap between our professionalism right there on Fox fifty nine,
Speaker 3: and I can only imagine whom they like better. Joel
Speaker 3: at this point in time, have you or me on.
Speaker 6: Well, well, I think sometimes we shared the same show
Speaker 6: because you're on Blue Zone as well. Yeah yeah, and
Speaker 6: usually usually that's my recap part once we get to
Speaker 6: the season, So we we shared the same show. Now,
Speaker 6: obviously as you're doing oh I'm doing it from the stadium,
Speaker 6: we're gonna have a little bit different modes addressed.
Speaker 3: I thought that I was as responsible as two weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Phil called me and he goes, hey, you want to
Speaker 3: come on and do a tape segment. I think Hagen
Speaker 3: was out, he was someplace else, and I said, yeah, Phil,
Speaker 3: but man, it is entirely possible that I Am going
Speaker 3: to be way, way too much in the bag by
Speaker 3: the time taping rolls around here. So he goes, hey,
Speaker 3: you know what, just go ahead and stay ahead, stay
Speaker 3: with what you're doing right there, because there has been
Speaker 3: a time before they go would you mind taping this over? Yeah,
Speaker 3: David over a yet if you guys will. But no,
Speaker 3: it's a fun group and that's part of it too.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're more of the serious newsworthy and I'm
Speaker 3: you know, more of the douchey, jack assery kind of thing.
Speaker 3: So it's kind of you know, you get you get
Speaker 3: service from both angles, which I think is good and
Speaker 3: and you know this to be true. It is a
Speaker 3: very good group to be a part of and to
Speaker 3: work with, even though I do it for free. How
Speaker 3: about that? So I do it for free. I do
Speaker 3: it for free because Hagen does it for free for me,
Speaker 3: just like you do. So but hey, I was thinking
Speaker 3: about you. We just popped open a little field of
Speaker 3: Dreams with Drew Storn his product.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: We just popped open a little field of dreams and
Speaker 3: they have baseball players on on the cork on the
Speaker 3: lid the cork, if you will. And we just popped
Speaker 3: open and field of dreams about an hour ago, and
Speaker 3: Robin you Out was the player on the cork. But
Speaker 3: that is that your favorite brewer of all time? Robin
Speaker 3: you Out.
Speaker 6: I'm a little bit young. He's my favorite. But he's
Speaker 6: by far and away the greatest brew of all time.
Speaker 6: There's really no comparison.
Speaker 3: To agreed and he is. He stayed there, he never
Speaker 3: left whereas Moltor left, and you know, delivered in Toronto
Speaker 3: as well. I am a big fan of Harvey's Wallbangers
Speaker 3: in eighty two and one because I hate the Cardinals,
Speaker 3: but I wanted to see Milwaukee, you know, when they
Speaker 3: were a part of the American League. Then they were
Speaker 3: in the eighty two World Series, and wanted to see
Speaker 3: them win. But from youw to Malitor to Gantner to Ogil,
Speaker 3: v Cecil, Cooper, Gorman, Thomas, Ted Simmons, you know, Vukevich.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if you knew this or not,
Speaker 3: but I was talking to Taekwon Lewis last week. Taekwan
Speaker 3: Lewis's hometown is Tarboro, North Carolina. Is also the hometown
Speaker 3: of former right hander Mike Caldwell of the Milwaukee Yes.
Speaker 6: I I did not know that anymore. Is now d L. Hall,
Speaker 6: who's on the current Brewers.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's awesome.
Speaker 6: That's the other that's the other Colts player connection there.
Speaker 6: Getting went out and visited their training camp this year
Speaker 6: and didn't didn't know I was a Bruise fan. So
Speaker 6: I commented on it. I think I got myself in
Speaker 6: trouble a little bit, but it works out. He knows
Speaker 6: I'm a Bruise fan. Now we got it figured out.
Speaker 3: Did you see our guy Yoho go out there and
Speaker 3: Pitts last night.
Speaker 6: I did, I did. I. I keep waiting They they
Speaker 6: need to give him a little bit more of a chance.
Speaker 6: But I get it. Yeah, you get two guys on
Speaker 6: and in that series, you're gonna have to go to
Speaker 6: the closer.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I've been pulling for Yoho for a while now. I
Speaker 6: keep waiting for a chance for him to be on
Speaker 6: the roster so my kids can go to a game
Speaker 6: and hold up a word from Fisher's two side.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well see it's awesome. Yoho, by the way, is
Speaker 3: a name synonymous where I'm from in Green County. Green
Speaker 3: it is. It is Yoho Is. I didn't even know
Speaker 3: there's a Yoho that I work with from Zinc that
Speaker 3: I think lives in Plainfield, But I didn't know the
Speaker 3: yo Ho's got all the way up in Hamilton County
Speaker 3: like that. And and Craig Yoho is one. I felt
Speaker 3: bad for him last night because when he faced that
Speaker 3: last hitter and and walked him the uh, the walk
Speaker 3: to the mound was not There was a lot of
Speaker 3: mumbling going on when he was taken out. If you
Speaker 3: could tell last night, little red face mumbling going on.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Pat, Pat doesn't, that's not really. You know, the
Speaker 6: new school manager is uh, you know, very calm and
Speaker 6: collected and you know, never let his emotions show. But
Speaker 6: Pat Pat Murphy is not in new school. He's very
Speaker 6: old school.
Speaker 3: He was not happy at all. And I got to
Speaker 3: get Craig Yoho on this show at some point. I
Speaker 3: don't think he's ever been on. But it is a
Speaker 3: cool as hell story. And obviously, the Brewers beat the
Speaker 3: Cubs last night, Dodgers beat the Reds last night. That's
Speaker 3: what's going on in the NL Central. I didn't want
Speaker 3: to ask you this regarding the Colts to start so much, Joel.
Speaker 3: The focus has been on the quarterback situation. Uh, there's
Speaker 3: no no matter if it's Richardson, if it's you know,
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones. Is there anything significant, either good or bad,
Speaker 3: that a lot of people are missing out on because
Speaker 3: there is so much of a laser focus on the
Speaker 3: quarterback situation and position right now.
Speaker 6: I I kind of would say, I don't. I don't
Speaker 6: think so because I think the one development that it's early.
Speaker 6: You don't know if this is a thing or not,
Speaker 6: but it's just really the receiver who's been the most consistent,
Speaker 6: who has been really good, so far As, but Alex Pearson,
Speaker 6: there's been some inconsistency elsewhere. But I think if you're
Speaker 6: I think if you're paying attention to the quarterback battle
Speaker 6: and really living and dying on it, you probably know
Speaker 6: that from reading the stuff we've written from out there,
Speaker 6: I think that's the only thing. I think everything else
Speaker 6: has kind of the little bit the way we expected
Speaker 6: it to. I think that what we've learned is, you know,
Speaker 6: over the years here is that as much as you
Speaker 6: want the quarterback to not matter as to have an
Speaker 6: outside impact on this football team, I think Colts fans
Speaker 6: might now know that's that's just what's going to happen.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I kind of think that I kind of
Speaker 6: get it when it comes to focusing hard on the
Speaker 6: quarterback position. Although I did tell myself after I've typed
Speaker 6: up my observations today, I made a note I got
Speaker 6: to have a little bit more on the other parts
Speaker 6: of the roster and not just on the quarterback position.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 3: See, And it's funny here where we kind of play
Speaker 3: the hits, and certainly that is the bit that's like
Speaker 3: the Rick Astley and never going to give you up
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty seven, eighty eight right here. Just see
Speaker 3: you play it absolutely, you know, non stop or the
Speaker 3: chumbulwumba tub thumping of the nineties, you play it non stop.
Speaker 3: It's certainly worthy of it. But it's funny. I have
Speaker 3: a lot of confidence Joel in the pass catchers because
Speaker 3: I believe there'll be a lot of talent there. But
Speaker 3: if there has been, you know, a major negative so far,
Speaker 3: and not just in terms of a d Mitchell, it
Speaker 3: seems like that from what you guys are talking about,
Speaker 3: there have been a number and really any numbers too many,
Speaker 3: A number of drops in the first week of Canadar.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it remains me seeing if that's just sort of
Speaker 6: a rough thing and we won't see it after the
Speaker 6: first week. You know, it's small sample size, it's practiced.
Speaker 6: You've got to try to you always put that in there.
Speaker 6: But there have been drops, you know, Michael Pittman's had
Speaker 6: some drops, Josh Allinson has had some drops, Tyler Warren
Speaker 6: has had fewer I think outright drops. I think there
Speaker 6: have been some contested catch opportunities, but you probably want
Speaker 6: your tight end to come away with that. He hasn't
Speaker 6: necessarily come away with I do think the completion percentages
Speaker 6: of both Richardson and Jones would be higher if they'd
Speaker 6: been a little more handed. We'll find out as it
Speaker 6: goes along and as we get into the real stuff
Speaker 6: and the games, if this is, you know, something to
Speaker 6: worry about or something not to worry about. You know,
Speaker 6: I think most fans know. There was the Jamar Chase's
Speaker 6: rookie year in Cincinnati.
Speaker 13: There was the Jamar Chase is dropping everything in camp
Speaker 13: and then he went out and had incredible season anyway,
Speaker 13: so you tend to write some of that stuff off,
Speaker 13: but then there's other training camp stuff that ends up
Speaker 13: becoming a thing.
Speaker 6: So it's just hard to know. All you can do
Speaker 6: is kind of want it and write down what you
Speaker 6: see and then make note of it for later.
Speaker 3: If you were going to think during the season, is
Speaker 3: this wide receiving group, and let's go ahead, and I'm
Speaker 3: a factor in Warren as well, because it is something
Speaker 3: we'll get into that in just a second what he
Speaker 3: is doing so far and hopefully that is a translation
Speaker 3: as a rookie to the regular season as well. But
Speaker 3: is this pass catching group good enough to raise the
Speaker 3: game of either one of these quarterbacks significantly? To you?
Speaker 6: That's a great question. I think they've got enough to
Speaker 6: help a quarterback in terms of in terms of raising
Speaker 6: their game. I I think that it's it's probably hard
Speaker 6: for a receiving corps to do that. I think what
Speaker 6: what we've seen here is that the quarterback ends up
Speaker 6: affecting the pass catcher more than than the other way around,
Speaker 6: you know. I think Alex Pierce is maybe the best example.
Speaker 6: He definitely made strides over the last year, but a
Speaker 6: big difference for for him, you know, from his first
Speaker 6: two years to last year was last year he had
Speaker 6: quarterbacks who were willing to throw it to him down
Speaker 6: the field, you know, and and some of that stuff
Speaker 6: is is kind of out of his control. I do
Speaker 6: think though, that they have you know, they've kind of
Speaker 6: got every type of target for him. They've got guys
Speaker 6: who can do a little bit of everything. I think
Speaker 6: Shane Stiken does a pretty good job of getting those
Speaker 6: guys open based on what we've seen in the first
Speaker 6: two years. I think that's all there. I think I
Speaker 6: think the question I have is do they have the
Speaker 6: quarterbacks to take advantage of, you know, kind of the
Speaker 6: skill set. They don't have the they don't have the
Speaker 6: Jamar Chase. They don't have a guy who can do everything,
Speaker 6: but they've got a lot of guys who can do
Speaker 6: a lot of different things. That usually is enough if
Speaker 6: the quarterback can take advantage of it.
Speaker 3: Right side interior or offensive line, which obviously would hard
Speaker 3: target center and right guard. Any concerns there at all,
Speaker 3: because I think everybody feels good about Ryman and Nelson
Speaker 3: and it looks like that you have a rejuvenated and
Speaker 3: in a great place Braden Smith from what we understood
Speaker 3: yesterday when he was talking to you guys today or yes,
Speaker 3: I think it was yesterday, in fact he was talking
Speaker 3: to you guys, But whatever the case, are there any
Speaker 3: concerns on the interior that offensive line there? On the right.
Speaker 6: Side, I think the position I'm focused on right now
Speaker 6: is center. They're not really rotating macenzalve that right guard Munch,
Speaker 6: which tells me that they're pretty confident in and we'll
Speaker 6: we'll find out in the regular season that's not really
Speaker 6: his natural position, but we'll find out in the regular
Speaker 6: season if day confidence is warranted center. Right now, it
Speaker 6: has been a very even competition between Tanner, Bordolini and
Speaker 6: Danny Pinner in terms of staffs. So one guy is
Speaker 6: getting one day, the other guy is getting the next day.
Speaker 6: They're not really deviating from that. I think that's the
Speaker 6: position I'm kind of paying the closest attention to right
Speaker 6: now and wondering, you know, he's borderlining, maybe not taking
Speaker 6: the step that they want that kind of thing in
Speaker 6: terms of you want that pick to develop into the starter.
Speaker 6: But through the first six days it's been very even
Speaker 6: between those two.
Speaker 3: What if your eyeballs told you if anything whatsoever. I
Speaker 3: don't know if it'd be definitive, but at least descriptively.
Speaker 3: What if your eyeballs told you about Spencer straighter? Because
Speaker 3: I kind of want to know what is going to
Speaker 3: work for them? What are they going to trust with him?
Speaker 3: How trustworthy might they be with him in this training
Speaker 3: camp in the preseason.
Speaker 5: What do you think?
Speaker 6: I I think that the the biggest kicks are coming
Speaker 6: starting with Thursday night, starting with that big practice Thursday night.
Speaker 6: The special teams coordinator there, Brian Mason, is really really
Speaker 6: good about this. Cat's laying it all out there for us,
Speaker 6: and he told us today he gave us all the numbers.
Speaker 6: He's thirty nine and forty three, and the kicks they've
Speaker 6: graded through the first seven days or whatever. Trader has
Speaker 6: been good. Trigo kind of had a rough week last week,
Speaker 6: and then he bounced back this week and made all
Speaker 6: his kicks. I think the biggest kicks though, are the
Speaker 6: ones they're looking at that night practice as a pressure practice.
Speaker 6: The joint practice is coming up, and then obviously the
Speaker 6: big kicks in the preseason games is when I think
Speaker 6: that that we're going to really find out how they
Speaker 6: feel about Spencer Trader or Matti TriGeo.
Speaker 3: If Trader falters, Joey Erickson of Stars on the Andy
Speaker 3: Moore out of Monday, if group potline, the show is
Speaker 3: going to be up there coming up on Thursday. Getting
Speaker 3: you said for the night gathering at Grant Park in
Speaker 3: Westfield with the Colts. I brought up Tyler Warren the
Speaker 3: rookie a little bit earlier, and yeah, I think with
Speaker 3: good reason. He's been conversationally at a very high level
Speaker 3: so far and less than a week of camp underway
Speaker 3: and Westfield. Do you think that they're going to utilize
Speaker 3: him as much as some would suggest or believe they might,
Speaker 3: or is this one of these camp stories that once
Speaker 3: you get into the regular season that kind of Phades
Speaker 3: a little bit. What do you think, No, I think they're.
Speaker 6: Gonna use I think going back to the uh the offseason,
Speaker 6: you know, in the spring, back in May and June,
Speaker 6: I think it feels like they want him to be
Speaker 6: a big piece of this. And the interesting thing to
Speaker 6: me is going to be what do we see them
Speaker 6: do with all of those other skills that he has
Speaker 6: with other tight ends. Don't you know the shortyardagibility as
Speaker 6: a quarterback? You know, can you use can you use
Speaker 6: that as a as a wildcat? But not just as
Speaker 6: a wildcat? Like, does that make him a better screen
Speaker 6: player than we've seen from the tight ends?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 6: Can you throw in the shovel? That kind of stuff
Speaker 6: is interesting to me. They need those run after the
Speaker 6: catch type of players in the offense, and obviously he's
Speaker 6: that kind of guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds I mean, that's simply put. I don't
Speaker 3: know when's the last time, other than Dallas Clark, when
Speaker 3: there was something and he maybe even goes a couple
Speaker 3: of more dimensions than Dallas did because it really wasn't
Speaker 3: necessary to get that stinking tricky back in the day
Speaker 3: with Dallas Clark. But seems like he is a Swiss
Speaker 3: army knife type that we have not seen certainly at
Speaker 3: that position here before.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think that the running ability kind of
Speaker 6: makes him I'm trying to think of another tight end
Speaker 6: who kind of has that where you can I mean,
Speaker 6: there's some guys who are good after the catch, but
Speaker 6: they're more you know, down the field, open field. He's
Speaker 6: a guy who's comfortable around the line of scrimmage, and
Speaker 6: I think that that kind of makes him a different
Speaker 6: There was a play in practice the other day where
Speaker 6: Richardson threw it behind him on a screen and just
Speaker 6: stuck his left hand back and just caught it with
Speaker 6: one hand and kept going in traffic at the line
Speaker 6: of scrimmage like a running back. That's that's just kind
Speaker 6: of a different skill set that you see from most
Speaker 6: tight ends. And it's really interesting to see how they
Speaker 6: use him. And also, just like with everybody else, how
Speaker 6: do the quarterback play affect him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt. Well, I think at this point
Speaker 3: until further notice, I'd like to see this group have
Speaker 3: the opportunity to raise the game. As I mentioned a
Speaker 3: little bit earlier of the quarterback position. But you know,
Speaker 3: in the past, we've seen with Richardson, it's been so
Speaker 3: far inaccurate where most of the time it hasn't been possible.
Speaker 3: But then Joel I bring that up, and then it's
Speaker 3: been very descriptive about how many drops we have seen
Speaker 3: in almost the first week of camp. So you know,
Speaker 3: one of these days maybe the planets will align and
Speaker 3: we'll get the opportunity to see something more legitimate. In
Speaker 3: this case, hopefully it isn't as bad as it sounded.
Speaker 3: Non contact caught it off doesn't sound good whatsoever. Anything
Speaker 3: regarding Jalen Jones you can make us aware of.
Speaker 6: I would just say that as hamstrings go, it it
Speaker 6: didn't look great, you know, live he really pulled up
Speaker 6: hard and went to the ground and didn't really didn't
Speaker 6: really move the karting off. They kind of do that
Speaker 6: with everybody because their medical facility part is so far
Speaker 6: away from the practice field here. But I did think
Speaker 6: that that it looked like it was you know, he
Speaker 6: felt that grab pretty tightly in his leg, and you know,
Speaker 6: hamstring injuries can can be nagging. I think everybody knows that,
Speaker 6: and if they're serious, they can they can last a
Speaker 6: little bit longer. So I have some some concern on
Speaker 6: that just based on what we saw a lot of
Speaker 6: times when a guy pulled a hamstring, you know, they
Speaker 6: kind of run through it a little bit. He couldn't
Speaker 6: do that at all. He really pulled up hard on
Speaker 6: that injury. And that's that's that's that's tough to see
Speaker 6: for a guy who's you know, really locked into kind
Speaker 6: of a competition for his spot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Juju Brent's hamstring. Obviously, injuries with Juju is
Speaker 3: something that seems uh somewhat, if not certainly customary with
Speaker 3: his time with the Colds. What's the word there?
Speaker 6: Uh, that one's interesting. We didn't see. He wasn't out
Speaker 6: there today. We talked to him yesterday, so you don't
Speaker 6: know when it happened. We didn't get to see that one.
Speaker 6: I think anytime there's a hamstring, though, you gotta think,
Speaker 6: like even even the most minor hamstring, you gotta immediately
Speaker 6: kind of think a week, uh maybe a little bit
Speaker 6: longer than that, you know. I know in the NFL
Speaker 6: sometimes guys played through hamstrings, which I give it up
Speaker 6: to them, because yeah, you know, usually when you have
Speaker 6: a hamstring, you never know when it's gonna grab on
Speaker 6: you and you can't run. But Uh, yeah, this time
Speaker 6: of year, you figure that's at least a week and
Speaker 6: that's he's right in there with Justin Waally too, and
Speaker 6: Wally right now is the only one healthy in that competition.
Speaker 3: It's funny. I don't know. Maybe it's because he's got
Speaker 3: a little bit of that local lean For me. I
Speaker 3: just think that if he could piece together some quality availability,
Speaker 3: he's going to be a guy in a season with
Speaker 3: lou Anroumo in this defense where everybody's going to be
Speaker 3: glad and he's going to go. People are going to go,
Speaker 3: oh wow, this is what you've been waiting on. But
Speaker 3: it all hinges on any sort of consistent availability.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's looked good when when he's been out there
Speaker 8: for practice so far, he had an interception in one practice.
Speaker 4: He's made some plays on the ball.
Speaker 8: I think. I think that's kind of how his career's
Speaker 8: gone too. I think when he's been on the field,
Speaker 8: we've seen good stuff from him. He just hasn't been
Speaker 8: able to stay on the field, like you said, and
Speaker 8: I think if you can get him a run of
Speaker 8: healthy play, I still think there's something in there. It's just, man,
Speaker 8: it's gotta be tough every time you feel like you're
Speaker 8: getting going again to have have your body kind of
Speaker 8: let you down a little bit.
Speaker 3: Are you a Bucks guy, Joel Milwaukee.
Speaker 8: I'm not.
Speaker 3: I'm not.
Speaker 8: That's the one team growing up in Wisconsin that I
Speaker 8: never really got into. I I decided David Robinson was
Speaker 8: my favorite player when I was like five.
Speaker 4: I'm a Spurs guy.
Speaker 3: Okay, that makes that makes sense. I was gonna I
Speaker 3: was gonna ask you the old Miles question, but since
Speaker 3: you're not a Bucks guy, you probably don't give a damn.
Speaker 3: That's all good, man, all good. But I can go
Speaker 3: I can go deep on the Brewers. I can go
Speaker 3: back before you were born. On the Brewers. There were
Speaker 3: some great eras I. I was always a big rob
Speaker 3: deer guy. There was. I love the all or nothing
Speaker 3: dudes of Major League Baseball back in the day. Loved it.
Speaker 8: Did you Did you see what they did last week
Speaker 8: with their alumni event?
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 8: So they had the twenty five years of I think
Speaker 8: of it as Miller Park, but they call it American
Speaker 8: Family Field now, and they brought back a player from
Speaker 8: every year ostensibly or whatever. But then they took ten
Speaker 8: guys recently retired guys and had a home run derby.
Speaker 8: So Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, Corey Hart, all these guys
Speaker 8: from the recent teams came back and did like an
Speaker 8: impromptu home run derby. It was awesome. It was like
Speaker 8: it looked like the coolest thing, Like what a great
Speaker 8: I like every franchise should copy that if they have
Speaker 8: their guys within the right age range, you know, get
Speaker 8: a chance to see these guys that like. You know
Speaker 8: that the Fielder and Braun, those guys are the ones
Speaker 8: that ended the playoffs drout in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 8: They brought them all back packed house on a Friday
Speaker 8: against the Marlins and watched those guys hit. And the
Speaker 8: other thing that I didn't know what they were going
Speaker 8: to be able to hit, you know, not playing baseball
Speaker 8: for a while. Just about every one of them hit
Speaker 8: them like actual legitimate homers. Really cool event, like the
Speaker 8: kind of thing that more Major League teams should do.
Speaker 3: And I love that stuff too. I agree. I absolutely
Speaker 3: there was nothing even going way back to when I was,
Speaker 3: you know, growing up, you had the old timers play,
Speaker 3: and you know, some of those guys out there could
Speaker 3: still swing it. It was pretty fun to watch some couldn't,
Speaker 3: but some could. I mean if the Reds.
Speaker 8: If the red said Joey Vono is going to get
Speaker 8: batting practice after.
Speaker 3: A game, yes, every Red fan mcgokus, everybody well, and
Speaker 3: oftentimes it would be more interesting than what the product
Speaker 3: would be on the field. So yes, Like like last night,
Speaker 3: I could see that, I could see that come. I
Speaker 3: was telling Greg Ragshaw this. I said, you know, last
Speaker 3: night I kind of junked the Reds because I had
Speaker 3: lace McAllister on and talked up that serious starter with
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, and he said, well, the Dodgers are pretty good,
Speaker 3: but the Reds are very well known as being habitual bedcrappers.
Speaker 3: That's exactly what they are. So when there's an opportunity
Speaker 3: to craft the bed, they're probably going to take advantage
Speaker 3: of it. That's kind of what it looked like at times.
Speaker 3: Dodgers are good, but that's what at times looked like
Speaker 3: last night, first and Joel on Fox fifty nine, when
Speaker 3: are we going to see you again?
Speaker 8: It will be I have I believe I have segments
Speaker 8: taping on Thursday, or maybe not, maybe not taping. I
Speaker 8: might be live on Thursday from out there right around
Speaker 8: the time you'll be getting done with your show, I.
Speaker 3: Believe awesome, and then on Sunday first and Joel and
Speaker 3: then me shirtless with John. So I'll be honest, great Joel,
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. We'll see it Thursday. Okay, we'll see
Speaker 3: on Thursday Joel a Ericson of The Star and Andy
Speaker 3: Moore Automotive Group Potline. I shall take a break, but
Speaker 3: I will talk with you on the other side if
Speaker 3: you feel inclined, that'd be great. If not cool, I'll

Speaker 5: It's called sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries.
Speaker 5: It's quite pungent. Stings the nostrils ninety three five and
Speaker 5: one oh seven five the Fan.
Speaker 3: All Right, an official weather announcement. Ninety five degrees everybody today,
Speaker 3: So this would make this day? What's the date? It's
Speaker 3: the twenty ninth, the twenty ninth of July, the hottest
Speaker 3: day of the year so far, ninety five. So if
Speaker 3: it's ninety five degrees officially, you know, oftentimes you know,
Speaker 3: people you know have their their own weather systems, their
Speaker 3: own readings. What does it say where you are? I've
Speaker 3: always said this. I went two years to Vincent's University,
Speaker 3: so did James and Vincent's and Evansville. For whatever reason,
Speaker 3: I'm sure that there is something geographically as to the
Speaker 3: reason why. But Vincen's and Evansville and southwestern and Indiana
Speaker 3: is always like five degrees hotter than everyplace else. And
Speaker 3: Vince Sand's is kind of liking a bowl, the bowl
Speaker 3: of the wall, bash that bowel bowl ninety five degrees.
Speaker 3: So I wonder that Vince Sand's gotta be like ninety eight.
Speaker 3: Evansville is probably what ninety nine gritty? What's Evansville right now?
Speaker 3: One hundred and one ninety five degrees the hottest day
Speaker 3: of the year so far in Indianapolis ninety five Now
Speaker 3: that's still see speaking of ninety five, remember when a
Speaker 3: ninety five mile an hour fast ball was fast considered. Wow,
Speaker 3: that's fast. He throws hunk ninety five miles an hour.
Speaker 3: Now nobody's eyes. Pop it to you guy, you go
Speaker 3: a buck two or something like that. Ninety five degrees, James,
Speaker 3: look up the official temp right now in Evansville, Indiana.
Speaker 3: What's it say? It's gotta be ninety eight down there,
Speaker 3: gotta be and Vincen's too. Check out Vincen's.
Speaker 9: In Evansville. It's actually only ninety three.
Speaker 3: Ohh they have cloud covered down there. In Vanderburgh County.
Speaker 3: I'm guessing that's what that doesn't follow along with my theory.
Speaker 3: That debunks my theory altogether.
Speaker 4: That sucks.
Speaker 9: And Vincen's is ninety two ninety two. What I wonder though,
Speaker 9: if it might be more humid or anything down there.
Speaker 3: Gritty says this live from Evansville, Indiana. This is the
Speaker 3: heart of Vanderburgh County. Is Gritty feels like one oh five?
Speaker 3: It's ninety three from what Gritty says, feels like one
Speaker 3: o five overnight low seventy three. Did you ever think
Speaker 3: that Vincen's was just I always thought it was a
Speaker 3: place in Indiana.
Speaker 9: It was quite hot when I was there.

Speaker 3: you got?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'm still processing the sad news with
Speaker 2: your mercy passing. Yeah, you know, definitely the end of
Speaker 2: an era. And these guys just did a great job,
Speaker 2: you know, putting at this perspective what a impact he
Speaker 2: had in the community and listening to everybody from rig
Speaker 2: Ventore and Peyton and Reggie Wayne and you know boost arians.
Speaker 3: I found myself. I found myself. I mean you just
Speaker 3: miss it because I mean there's such a significant piece
Speaker 3: that is now missing. I mean you miss it for
Speaker 3: that reason. I just I missed. I miss his presence.
Speaker 3: I always thought, all right, so you know, what are
Speaker 3: we going to see in social media? You know it's
Speaker 3: it's going to be something in that in that game
Speaker 3: in which he normally goes into the booth with a
Speaker 3: rakestraw and venturi. You know what's going to take place
Speaker 3: there and how that's going to be an asked. You
Speaker 3: find yourself certain fishing his presence in in general. And
Speaker 3: he was a genuine dude, There's no doubt.
Speaker 2: Yeah for me, you know, a Colt fans and seventy five,
Speaker 2: you know nothing. And you know Jim was older than me,
Speaker 2: you know, but he was like the guy kind of guy.
Speaker 2: I was like, this guy is actually the owner and
Speaker 2: he's actually the GM when he's in his twenties, you know,
Speaker 2: I was still in a teenager And I do have
Speaker 2: one Jim Mersey story that I had forgotten about.
Speaker 6: You'll remember this.
Speaker 2: It was the nineteen ninety two season when I was
Speaker 2: at the Meadowlands. Back then, I was sitting behind the
Speaker 2: colt's bench and Ted Machibroda benched Jeff George and he
Speaker 2: threw like a hissy fit, you know, like a kindergarten
Speaker 2: a kid. He threw his helmet. I was sitting right
Speaker 2: behind the coat bets. He threw his helmet and he
Speaker 2: started pouting. He put his jacket on, and he went
Speaker 2: and stood at the end of the sideline like a kid,
Speaker 2: not talking to anybody. And at some point and that
Speaker 2: in that off season when Jim was Jim Mersay was
Speaker 2: the general manager, I wrote him a letter, like a
Speaker 2: handwritten letter to I was like, you know, this guy,
Speaker 2: you know whatever, you know, We're never gonna win with
Speaker 2: this guy, or something along those lines. And uh. A
Speaker 2: couple of days later I got a deliver autograph football
Speaker 2: from the entire team and then and I was like what.
Speaker 2: Then I was thinking, well.
Speaker 10: Wait a second, how did he how.
Speaker 2: Did he know where to send this? And then I
Speaker 2: must have remembered, like like I just like readden the
Speaker 2: handle I must have put, you know, returned to dress
Speaker 2: on it. Sure, and I just thought it was like
Speaker 2: the coolest thing is like he actually took the time
Speaker 2: to like, you know, he sent me like an autograph
Speaker 2: football from the entire team.
Speaker 3: You know, that's awesome, That is awesome. Yeah, and yeah,
Speaker 3: you've missed him so far. We've missed him so far.
Speaker 3: But it's even going to be more profound when the
Speaker 3: season officially gets underway. It just it will. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's that's something where you know, regardless of what you do,
Speaker 3: and I mean he's he was even as you know,
Speaker 3: you know, one of you know, the the richest dudes
Speaker 3: in the state of Indiana. The money and the team
Speaker 3: ownership and all that. You know, he had a lot
Speaker 3: of the same situations and many of the demons that
Speaker 3: that we all have.
Speaker 2: Just so and he was and he was a fan.
Speaker 2: He was a fan at home. I remember that and
Speaker 2: that I got a kick out of him when they
Speaker 2: did that. Uh was that thing. And he's got his
Speaker 2: he's got his lucky hats, and he's got his rituals
Speaker 2: watching the game.
Speaker 3: And the last dext message his last post was go
Speaker 3: Pacers and you know, good luck to I mean, it's
Speaker 3: just uh yeah, it's it's tough, and it'll be there'll
Speaker 3: be moments, there'll be more moments than not when you're
Speaker 3: gonna go, wow, you know these are some things that
Speaker 3: that you miss h I have missed you as well.
Speaker 3: Mike in Brooklyn, New York. You're gonna start calling again
Speaker 3: right since the football season is back.
Speaker 6: I will be I will be on board.
Speaker 4: I'm ready to go.
Speaker 2: I never uh, I've never gone into uh a cult
Speaker 2: and not thinking that they were going to win the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. So I got you know, that's.

Speaker 3: you say? So Kyle Needdneb's going to join us coming

Speaker 3: best And I'm not just talking about with history, but
Speaker 3: what is the best high school football stadium in the

Speaker 3: a hill overlooking the Ohio kind of right at a
Speaker 3: bend on the It's awesome, great atmosphere. Love the Rights Bowl.
Speaker 3: But I asked the question a little bit earlier. What
Speaker 3: is I guess I probably should have added, what is
Speaker 3: the nicest, most expensive of the high school football stadiums
Speaker 3: in the state of Indiana. This is something if I remember,
Speaker 3: I'll ask Kyle Neednrip coming up at the top of
Speaker 3: the hour. And the reason why I brought this up
Speaker 3: is because I saw this. This was according to the
Speaker 3: sports and business Joe pomp Planano. Let me go ahead
Speaker 3: and butcher that name for everybody. Hey, he's only got
Speaker 3: six hundred and two thousand followers, so he's relatively important.

Speaker 12: Yeah, well look, I I grew up here, but went
Speaker 12: to school out in the East Coast, and so we

Speaker 12: were not so high and mighty as to get a
Speaker 12: Heineken tag to put the cap on. But ours was
Speaker 12: Rolling Rock.
Speaker 3: Yes, well that's all. That's a very That's a very
Speaker 3: pretentious green bottled beer, too, is it not. I mean

Speaker 3: by the way, but it is a very pretentious beer.
Speaker 5: It is very douchey.
Speaker 12: So yes, I've got I've got a follow up story
Speaker 12: to that. There is a locale that I.
Speaker 6: Went to.
Speaker 12: In the nor Well side of Indianapolis that is named
Speaker 12: after the street it's on, and it's a pub and
Speaker 12: it's eighty sixth Street. Yeah, and so you can do
Speaker 12: the math on that. And they had in the evening
Speaker 12: where they said domestic bottles were two dollars. And I
Speaker 12: had a friend go up to who's from Buffalo, not
Speaker 12: from Minneapolis, who went up to the bar and ordered
Speaker 12: a rolling rock and they said that'll be three point fifty.
Speaker 12: And he said, well, wait, domestic bottles are two dollars,
Speaker 12: and they said that's an import.

Speaker 3: empty rolling rock bottle at the bar because he didn't
Speaker 3: want to buy another one. He didn't want to drink
Speaker 3: another one. And he thought he looked cool. That's a

Speaker 3: I think we should hire this guy. Not good vincents
Speaker 3: some Indiana state ones in there. B ninety seven. I
Speaker 3: got some commercials for B ninety seven in Bloomington.
Speaker 9: So I've got some hard drives of me doing sports
Speaker 9: casts and stuff where I'm in a suit and ton
Speaker 9: But who.
Speaker 3: Bad bad I'll tell you what's good. The covered high
Speaker 3: school athletics is done at the most elite level with
Speaker 3: Kyle Netting rip of the Star who joins us now
Speaker 3: and Andy Moore out of Motive Group hotline. So are
Speaker 3: you ready? Are you in uh football operational mode right now?
Speaker 3: Or are you still taking that time off to get going?
Speaker 4: Well? I was hoping to hear some smoke on the
Speaker 4: water from Deep Purple now that you know you brought
Speaker 4: that The Eastern greenplay that still?
Speaker 3: You know what we ran out to? Seriously, the band
Speaker 3: played Peter Gunn. When we ran out, we ran out
Speaker 3: of the locker room and we ran through one of
Speaker 3: those uh those paper hoops that had like stuff hunting
Speaker 3: on it, like you know, beat the hell out of
Speaker 3: the Cardinals, Bloomfield or whatever. We ran through one of
Speaker 3: those paper hoops to Peter Gunn. Hey play Peter gun
Speaker 3: really quick. What did you run out to, Kyle?
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 4: They played I remember them playing the Jay Giles band
Speaker 4: centerfold that the band would play that awesome?
Speaker 3: Should have played that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, they we actually ran out to Thunderstruck.
Speaker 3: Oh see, there you go. Here's what we ran out to.
Speaker 3: Right here.
Speaker 9: Who is Peter Gunnby Because of multiple options play I've
Speaker 9: got Blues brothers play.
Speaker 3: The Art of Noise. Yeah, I think that's what we
Speaker 3: ran out to from nineteen eighty seven. This is what
Speaker 3: we ran out to. I have no idea why to
Speaker 3: this day. I better stroke the three when we ran
Speaker 3: out to this because there's no excitement being built with
Speaker 3: this is their Kyle No.
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess it gets you in sort of
Speaker 4: a melodic states or something. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Art of Noise, I think. I think what
Speaker 3: happened is I think our band learned one song that
Speaker 3: year and that was it.
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm always in any band who who does it
Speaker 4: in person, I'm all for it. I mean, I love
Speaker 4: it when the high school basketball starts and the band
Speaker 4: is there, I'll give them credit for just doing it.
Speaker 3: Yes, here's what I bring this up all the time.
Speaker 3: Like we talked about how high school athletics have changed,
Speaker 3: but when you look at at bands and choirs, the
Speaker 3: level Like I went to a choir concert that my
Speaker 3: daughter was a part of. At the end of this
Speaker 3: last year at Center Grove. I'm absolutely floored. It looked
Speaker 3: to me like it was better than a Vegas show
Speaker 3: or a Broadway show. I was absolutely floored. And you know,
Speaker 3: when I was in high school or in junior high
Speaker 3: when you'd go to a choir Christmas concert and be
Speaker 3: a bunch of rooms standing up on stage singing let
Speaker 3: it snow or something. But this was incredible. And nobody
Speaker 3: makes a mistake, and you've got all these moving parts.
Speaker 3: So we talk all the time, and rightly. So it's
Speaker 3: a sports show about how you know, things are you know,
Speaker 3: more athletic and you know, more high level now in
Speaker 3: athletics than they were back then. But man, this other stuff,
Speaker 3: the band and the choir stuff is incredible to me.
Speaker 4: You're absolutely right. And I and I you know, and
Speaker 4: and the kids who are in those you acchoir band, uh,
Speaker 4: you know, the arts, you know, they're they're doing it
Speaker 4: for you know, they don't they don't get the support
Speaker 4: necessarily like the athletes do. But man, I've been around
Speaker 4: some really awesome experiences, you know, just covering high school
Speaker 4: sports and getting to see the singers and the you know,
Speaker 4: the the bands and stuff like that. It. Really it
Speaker 4: adds so much to the experience. It's hard to put
Speaker 4: into words how different the experiences when the band is
Speaker 4: there and they're they're doing stuff like that to spice everything.
Speaker 4: But it's it's you know, I love that part of it.
Speaker 4: And high school football starts here in a month or so.
Speaker 4: That's to me, that's part of the fun of it.
Speaker 4: Is like, man, you know, every it's it's ball, especially
Speaker 4: at the start of school. Everybody's excited and it's almost
Speaker 4: like a whole community experience, and that that is a
Speaker 4: part of it too that sometimes we overlook. But you're
Speaker 4: absolutely right. It's it's getting a lot, you know, it's
Speaker 4: it's it's crazy how much time those kids put into it,
Speaker 4: and it's awesome to see when they do get recognized.
Speaker 3: I saw a first hand within and these these choir
Speaker 3: folks work every bit as hard as these athletes do.
Speaker 3: Serious absolutely, I mean, they put in just as much time,
Speaker 3: if not more than the the athletes, and it's crazy.
Speaker 3: This is Kyle Netwerp of the Stars on the Andy
Speaker 3: Morrill Automotive Group hotline. I know you and others at
Speaker 3: the start I have been a part of, you know,
Speaker 3: going to these these older gyms and and celebrating that,
Speaker 3: and these all all been great pieces. What I was
Speaker 3: thinking about today because I saw a story online a
Speaker 3: little bit earlier there's a high school in Georgia, Kyle
Speaker 3: that just built, just opened, in fact, a football stadium
Speaker 3: that costs sixty two million dollars with ten thousand seats,
Speaker 3: fifteen luxuyes, thirty five hundred square foot video scoreboard, two
Speaker 3: story field house with locker rooms. Buford High School in
Speaker 3: Georgia is the location against sixty two million dollars. So
Speaker 3: it got me thinking, what's the nicest, most expensive I
Speaker 3: guess you would say high school football stadium in Indiana.
Speaker 4: Well, the way it seems like, the way that they've
Speaker 4: been built, it's been more of like additions. You know,
Speaker 4: we've seen you know, stadiums at already in place, and said,
Speaker 4: I only think.
Speaker 3: Gray Skillman's putting sixty two MILLI into one of these
Speaker 3: stadiums here, is he?
Speaker 4: No? No, I don't think. And it's been kind of
Speaker 4: a piecemeal type thing, you know, the improvements that have
Speaker 4: been done to places like Center Grove and you know,
Speaker 4: all of really if you drive around the four sixty
Speaker 4: five and look, you know an outside for sixty five
Speaker 4: all of the six A football facilities. Carmel's got one
Speaker 4: going now, Brownsburg has redone theirs completely. It's it's really
Speaker 4: really nice. You know, Avon's doing a lot of stuff.
Speaker 4: You know, so all those suburban schools in the township
Speaker 4: schools have put a lot of money into not only football,
Speaker 4: but you know, facilities in general here in the last
Speaker 4: you know, five years or so, so you're seeing a
Speaker 4: lot of upgrades happening, and you know, it's it's kind
Speaker 4: of the keeping up with the Joneses thing anymore, you know,
Speaker 4: to you know, it's sort of the you know, the
Speaker 4: view of your school sometimes is based on right or wrong.
Speaker 4: It's it's what you're doing with your athletic programs and
Speaker 4: the part of that facilities and namely a lot of
Speaker 4: times the football stadium. So you're seeing a lot of
Speaker 4: upgrades here in the last few years, for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about that. But sixty two million dollars
Speaker 3: is rather incredible. You mentioned the start of the high
Speaker 3: school football season about a month away, as many schools
Speaker 3: in bark later on this week to back to school.
Speaker 3: Is it same old situation in each class right now
Speaker 3: or do we have some newcomers to the high level
Speaker 3: game going into twenty twenty five here, Well, you.
Speaker 4: Have there are some changes this year with you know this.
Speaker 4: You know, Decatur Central actually is moving. They won five
Speaker 4: A last year and they're bumping up to six A
Speaker 4: with the success factor that Ice Stay has in place,
Speaker 4: So that'll be that'll be a little bit different, uh
Speaker 4: than than what we've seen in the past. This is
Speaker 4: their first time playing six A football, so you know,
Speaker 4: I think they they definitely have the talent to compete
Speaker 4: at that level. You know, a lot of a lot
Speaker 4: of their skill position talent is back, including Kashmir Hicks,
Speaker 4: Who's who's going to IU to play receiver, you know,
Speaker 4: and they're replacing Cathedral basically in that sectional. Cathedral is
Speaker 4: bumping back down to five A. So you know, that's
Speaker 4: a little bit of a change that we'll see. And
Speaker 4: you know Decatur will get a chance early in the season.
Speaker 4: You know, they play Avon and Newpal. I can't remember
Speaker 4: the order of that game those games, but they'll play
Speaker 4: those two teams early that will give them a good
Speaker 4: sense of maybe how good they are. But also Newpal's
Speaker 4: bumping up from four A to five A and UH
Speaker 4: Heritage Hills to which won three A last year, is
Speaker 4: going to So there are some significant changes from the
Speaker 4: defending champions of last year. So you know that'll add
Speaker 4: a little bit of a difference. And it's not a
Speaker 4: it's not a reclass year either, but you know, now
Speaker 4: that they're doing these uh success factors annually, you'll see
Speaker 4: some changes every year by the success factors, So you
Speaker 4: know that has changed some some you know, some of
Speaker 4: the landscape of it a bit. But I think six
Speaker 4: A is going to be great. It always is. You know,
Speaker 4: Brownsburg won it last year, but you know there's several
Speaker 4: teams you know that that will have a good chance
Speaker 4: kind of like every year in six A and you know,
Speaker 4: as we know, it's so hard to repeat in that class.
Speaker 4: So you know, I expect that will be a really competitive,
Speaker 4: you know class like it is every year, especially around
Speaker 4: the Indianapolis area.
Speaker 3: Individual talent. Yeah, I know we're not into it just yet,
Speaker 3: but expectations compared to for example, what we saw a
Speaker 3: year ago, who may stand out? Who are we watching
Speaker 3: for here in am months or so from now to.
Speaker 4: Start, I would see I wrote a little bit about
Speaker 4: the kind of the mister football favorites going into the season,
Speaker 4: and you know from a you know, from a standpoint
Speaker 4: of you know, the people who can win it. It's
Speaker 4: normally a skill position player, obviously, the the quarterbacks, receivers,
Speaker 4: running backs. Who are you know, kind of the top
Speaker 4: of that list. And I would say, you know, early on,
Speaker 4: Jet Goldsberry comes to mind from Heritage Hills. He's a quarterback,
Speaker 4: but we'll we'll be more of an athlete at Ole
Speaker 4: Miss where he's headed, probably a secondary player for them,
Speaker 4: but he's going to put up good numbers. He's already
Speaker 4: got a state title under his belt. Casmir Hicks so
Speaker 4: I mentioned from Decatur also in that boat of he's
Speaker 4: already won a state title going to IU, which I
Speaker 4: think will help his case. And he's a receiver. He's
Speaker 4: going to put up numbers at that spot. And then another guy,
Speaker 4: I'll give you a third name, or maybe four, but
Speaker 4: I would say Deacon King from from Westfield, a two
Speaker 4: way player. He's going than Illinois, but he plays running
Speaker 4: back in safety, so I think he's a name to
Speaker 4: watch potentially. And then JJ Finch also for more in
Speaker 4: Central he's a defensive player, which that's pretty rare that
Speaker 4: a defensive player would be in the mix for mister Football.
Speaker 4: But you know, he's his numbers are incredible and he's
Speaker 4: going to Alabama, so he's obviously very talented. So but yeah,
Speaker 4: he's gonna put up big numbers on defense. Probably you know,
Speaker 4: might not be enough to get him over the hunt
Speaker 4: for the big award, but you know, definitely a guy
Speaker 4: who should be named in that mix for sure.
Speaker 3: It is amazing to see him. I mentioned this years
Speaker 3: ago and it's it's only gotten better. Just you know
Speaker 3: what you see with the the high level team wise,
Speaker 3: it's one thing and you brought up all these teams
Speaker 3: and with a success factor, some moving up, maybe one
Speaker 3: like Cathedral moving down. But individually speaking, the talent's never
Speaker 3: been better around here in football. There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 4: No, the depth, the depth is just really good. I
Speaker 4: mentioned six A, you know, but it's every class. You know,
Speaker 4: there's there's just a lot of talent in every class,
Speaker 4: and it's it's competitive, it's uh, you know, there's there's
Speaker 4: people who definitely you know, would like to see the
Speaker 4: tournament seeded maybe to get that, you know, to make
Speaker 4: that a little bit more interesting maybe, But from at
Speaker 4: any rate. It's it's always competitive in the tournament, uh
Speaker 4: six A around here, especially the big schools are you know,
Speaker 4: kind of knocking heads every year, and you do end
Speaker 4: up seeing a lot of some of the same names
Speaker 4: at the end of the year. But you've seen also
Speaker 4: schools like you know, Westfield breakthrough in these last few
Speaker 4: years and become one of those major players in six A.
Speaker 4: And you know they've they've gone head to head with
Speaker 4: with some really good teams. You know, we saw Brownsburg
Speaker 4: for the first time in six A win it last year.
Speaker 4: You know, they finally get over the hump and made
Speaker 4: a tournament run, you know. So you see you have
Speaker 4: some other teams competing with the Center Grows, the Warrens,
Speaker 4: the Ben Davises of the world, who are also very
Speaker 4: good every year. But I think that adds a little
Speaker 4: bit to it too, when you get some new blood
Speaker 4: in there and see some different teams get to the
Speaker 4: finals and eventually win it all.
Speaker 3: Right, So last year Mark zachary I won Mister Football
Speaker 3: last year, right, and he played dual role both offensive defense.
Speaker 3: Has there ever been just a singular defensive player to
Speaker 3: win that award?
Speaker 4: No, you know, not really I mean Zachary, You're right,
Speaker 4: I mean he was a defensive player.
Speaker 3: I think Drake Bowen did the same thing, right. There
Speaker 3: have been a number of guys, because you have that
Speaker 3: level of talent, that have played both sides. Jason Warner
Speaker 3: comes to mind. I think Jason wanted a wide receiver
Speaker 3: and safety at Ron Colly two years ago. So some
Speaker 3: guys come to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, those are good names to mention because all
Speaker 4: those guys were defensive guys. But also, you know, you'd
Speaker 4: be stupid not to play Mark Zachary on offense or
Speaker 4: Jason Warner on offense, so that you know those guys
Speaker 4: played offense. They put up numbers, big numbers on offense.
Speaker 4: Drake Bowen was a running back as well as linebacker
Speaker 4: who was exceptional. That was fun to watch him play
Speaker 4: high school football. But yeah, most of those guys, you know,
Speaker 4: if you're gonna if you're a mister football type a fleet,
Speaker 4: you're probably going to play some offense too. So it
Speaker 4: hasn't really been a case where you know, and JJ
Speaker 4: Finch would be you know, he's one who you know,
Speaker 4: he basically all he's a defensive end, so he's not
Speaker 4: playing much offense or any offense, but so he would
Speaker 4: be in that boat of a defense only guy. But yeah,
Speaker 4: most of the time the guys who play you know,
Speaker 4: defense who want it, are also playing offense for their
Speaker 4: high school teams.
Speaker 3: At least he's Colin Nett and Rip of the Star.
Speaker 3: He's on the Andymore Automotive Group hotline. Curious as far
Speaker 3: as the end of the high school schedule was basically
Speaker 3: back in June with baseball and that conclusion, So what
Speaker 3: have been what's been the major story? Maybe the major
Speaker 3: storyline is we have entered no high school athletics and
Speaker 3: then restart this thing coming up in a month or so,
Speaker 3: actually earlier than that, considering I'm sure volleyball and other
Speaker 3: sports are going to start prior to right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you'll have some other golf and whatnot getting going here.
Speaker 4: But but yeah, I mean kind of the the big
Speaker 4: thing's been the transfer rule. I would say, you know,
Speaker 4: that went into effect on June first, you know, so
Speaker 4: a lot of questions about that. A lot of you know,
Speaker 4: kids who have moved, you know kids who moved, and
Speaker 4: that's normal, you know, I tell people too, it's it's
Speaker 4: that's not that unusual. We always have transfers. But now
Speaker 4: it's just going to be you know, it's gonna be
Speaker 4: a little different, I would say, And you get a
Speaker 4: mixed opinions on whether it's good or bad, like a
Speaker 4: lot of things in this world. But uh, that's probably
Speaker 4: been the biggest thing as far as like just changes
Speaker 4: in high school athletics from a standpoint of just you know,
Speaker 4: the landscape of it all. But uh, and you know
Speaker 4: it'll be I think, and we won't even know for sure,
Speaker 4: probably for you know, a couple of years, you know,
Speaker 4: how this Paul plays out. I think there's going to
Speaker 4: be good and bad to it. I asked a lot
Speaker 4: for an upcoming story some of the kids about it,
Speaker 4: and you know, there's mixed opinions from kids who some
Speaker 4: say it's good, some say, you know, I would never transfer,
Speaker 4: and and but I'm you know, they they think it's
Speaker 4: good for kids maybe who may not have an opportunity
Speaker 4: at their school to play, to maybe go to a
Speaker 4: smaller school or a different school to have that chance.
Speaker 4: So uh, but yeah, I think that's a that's a
Speaker 4: pretty significant change that was made. And you know it's
Speaker 4: still night, says hands to make decisions on you know,
Speaker 4: the transfer rule and to be able to kind of
Speaker 4: meet out the decisions. So you know, it's not in
Speaker 4: the hands of the legislature, so it's i'd say, still
Speaker 4: making those decisions. But but some of the rule changes
Speaker 4: have you know, maybe made things a little bit more
Speaker 4: black and white than they used to be, which I
Speaker 4: think can be a good thing moving forward. But yeah,
Speaker 4: we'll see how that plays out. But I think that's
Speaker 4: probably the biggest thing going on from a just an
Speaker 4: overall high school sports standpoint. A lot of conference changes
Speaker 4: and things like that. But but but but I would
Speaker 4: say the transfer things is probably number one right now.
Speaker 3: I know, I thought for sure you're going to say,
Speaker 3: you can't believe that Josh Thompson went from bar Reeve
Speaker 3: to Lagodi as they had basketball coach. You've got to
Speaker 3: be a little bit insane to do that, don't you not,
Speaker 3: Because it's a bad gig. But yeah, yeah, good luck
Speaker 3: in that area going from one to the other. Josh,
Speaker 3: come on, who's a good dude, by the way, really
Speaker 3: good dude.
Speaker 4: Yeah he is. I ran to him at the Charlie Hughes.
Speaker 4: But yeah, that was interesting, interesting move down in that
Speaker 4: part of the state. So but yeah, but yeah, that'll be.
Speaker 4: There were a lot of coaching changes too this year
Speaker 4: there and Corey Taylor. Just today, I've hired at Avon,
Speaker 4: who was interim coach at BD a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4: But I think that almost closes the cycle here in
Speaker 4: Central Indiana anyway, Unless I'm missing somebody, I probably am,
Speaker 4: But I think we're pretty much said. As far as
Speaker 4: basketball coaching changes being.
Speaker 3: You mentioned you know where because you're obviously from there, Brownsburg,
Speaker 3: and you know how consistent they are across the board athletically.
Speaker 3: We know about Ben Davis. Where's Avon in that category
Speaker 3: right now? As they hire the new basketball coach across
Speaker 3: the board? As far as consistent, high level winning in
Speaker 3: athletics out.
Speaker 4: There, Avon's on the rise. I would say football, basketball,
Speaker 4: a lot of sports that a lot of sports have
Speaker 4: been good at. Maybe they don't maybe get the headlines
Speaker 4: of football and basketball, but I would say both sports.
Speaker 4: You know, Drew Shaus was just there for four years
Speaker 4: and I thought did a really good job. They were
Speaker 4: a twenty win team last year, you know, two years
Speaker 4: ago won a sectional and then last year, you know,
Speaker 4: in a very competitive sectional with with Brownsburg, Ben Davis
Speaker 4: Pike in Plainfield, which that's going to be a dynamite
Speaker 4: sectional this coming year. But I would say, you know,
Speaker 4: they're definitely on the rise. I think Corey's gonna do
Speaker 4: a good job there. He's you know, had that experience
Speaker 4: two years ago as the as the interim coach, so
Speaker 4: I think, you know, highly of him and and the
Speaker 4: job he'll do there. And then the football team, you know,
Speaker 4: they were you know Rob Gibson who coached Owen Valley
Speaker 4: before he got the Avon job and kind of got
Speaker 4: that program really jump started. But he's come in and
Speaker 4: done a good job for that football team. But you know,
Speaker 4: again they're it's tough with you know, when you're in
Speaker 4: the HCC, you know you're playing these these tough teams
Speaker 4: a weekend, week out. Their quarterback I hurt early in
Speaker 4: the season last year, so they only finished three and seven,
Speaker 4: but it was an improvement from where they were the
Speaker 4: previous year. And you know, I think they're you know,
Speaker 4: they're definitely a team that I think could get over
Speaker 4: the hump this year and be a be a winning team. Uh,
Speaker 4: if they can stay healthy and those sorts of things.
Speaker 4: But you know, their facilities again much better than they were.
Speaker 4: Their weight room is is stop notch, and you know,
Speaker 4: I think they're on the rise in a lot of
Speaker 4: different sports.
Speaker 3: Well I bring that up because you talk about in
Speaker 3: closing here Hendricks County or Western Marion County. You get
Speaker 3: Ben Davis, you get playing field. You know, Moresville gets
Speaker 3: talked about. I mentioned Brownsburg and even further west. You
Speaker 3: go all the way to Danville and everybody gets talked about,
Speaker 3: you know, high level wise, but oftentimes in the middle
Speaker 3: of that conversation you don't hear a great deal about
Speaker 3: Avon And kind of wonder if the tide we'll turn
Speaker 3: it a little bit now for the.
Speaker 4: Orioles, definitely, And you know Mark Buss, you know when
Speaker 4: he was coached there, they were you know, they were
Speaker 4: really good for a while. You know, they were they
Speaker 4: were always competing with you know, they were beating Ben Davis.
Speaker 4: Was kind of back and forth they beat them or
Speaker 4: or you know, they'd get be buying, but they were
Speaker 4: in the mix anyway. And then I think it was
Speaker 4: twenty fifteen, you know, they went down to Center Grove
Speaker 4: and you know, played a classic. It was one of
Speaker 4: the best games I've ever seen in the semi State
Speaker 4: against Center Grove and Center Grove beat him. It was
Speaker 4: here when they had Brandon Peters at quarterback and they
Speaker 4: were just really really good and lost by a point
Speaker 4: in double overtime. That team could have definitely won State,
Speaker 4: you know, if they would have won that game, but
Speaker 4: that was you know, So what I'm saying is basically,
Speaker 4: sometimes you miss those chances. You know how much that
Speaker 4: may have changed, I don't know, you know, the future
Speaker 4: of the programmer. They were good for a few years
Speaker 4: after that under Mark Blest, but then they kind of
Speaker 4: fell off and they're trying to build back to that.
Speaker 4: So you know, they're a team that has talent. It's
Speaker 4: just a matter of, you know, kind of getting things
Speaker 4: going in the right direction. Football. That's hard sometimes because
Speaker 4: you're you know, it's you're against teams that are established
Speaker 4: in your neighborhood. So but I do think they're a
Speaker 4: team that definitely has a chance this year to you
Speaker 4: probably want to keep your eye on what they do
Speaker 4: and be curious about how their season transpires.
Speaker 3: He is Kyle Neddon rip of The Star. We're slowly
Speaker 3: but surely kick starting again. The twenty five twenty six
Speaker 3: high school Athletics schedule. He's with us on the Andy
Speaker 3: Moore Automotive Group pile line. Good update. We'll do it
Speaker 3: again very soon because, as you mentioned, about a month
Speaker 3: away from the start of the football season. Man, I
Speaker 3: always appreciate that.
Speaker 4: Hey, no problem, John, anytime, and you have a good one.
Speaker 4: We'll we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 3: Kyle Nedding rip on the Andy Moore Automotive Group pile line.
Speaker 3: Nobody is better. He is outstanding, no doubt about that.
Speaker 3: I just saw. Oh okay, forget that. Yeah, you know, Jason,
Speaker 3: I should have brought up my bad and where Sergie
Speaker 3: is Sorge's kid at try West? We got James with.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Thees. I think Sorgie's kids a quarterback at try West.
Speaker 3: I know I'd bring up like Western Marion and Hendrix
Speaker 3: County and let you know, Jason, that's terrible, bad host.
Speaker 3: Quickly we'll come back. Hey, we're me and and you
Speaker 3: and the rest of the way. You guys go with
Speaker 3: that to three nine ten seventy tomorrow's show. Charles Arbuckle,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have somebody for the Colts. I just have
Speaker 3: no idea what's going to be yet, and then I'll
Speaker 3: be out in Westfield's coming up on Thursday to see
Speaker 3: all of you, just in time for the night gathering
Speaker 3: that's Thursday in Westfield, all of us together with ninety
Speaker 3: three five one oh seven five the Fan, the ride
Speaker 3: with JMV.
Speaker 14: The only time I have my radio on is in
Speaker 14: my car and the only thing I listened to is JMB.
Speaker 7: Ninety three to five and one oh seven five the Fan. Oh,
Speaker 7: the legend reporter right there. Yeah, I mentioned tomorrow Charles R.
Speaker 7: Buckle Well, the Colts conversation with Charles coming up at
Speaker 7: the five o'clock hour tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Somebody from the Colts. I just don't know who's going
Speaker 3: to be yet. And then Thursday, Thursday on the road
Speaker 3: in Westfield. It does kind of stink because we're not
Speaker 3: out at any bars or restaurants this week, but in
Speaker 3: the not so distant future we are going to be
Speaker 3: out and be out all the time. I will say this,
Speaker 3: I think I have done and will have done once
Speaker 3: the calendar year changes. I think I will have done
Speaker 3: more remotes than I've ever done in one year, and
Speaker 3: probably because of the Pacer Run, because we were out
Speaker 3: so much. Now, there was a time years ago when
Speaker 3: I did some Mondays. If you remember, there was always
Speaker 3: like a blue Monday. It was a time I went
Speaker 3: to the O Charlie's locations where I think there's like
Speaker 3: two still there was a time we went to Buffalo
Speaker 3: Wild Wings on Mondays for like a Blue Monday, and
Speaker 3: there was a lot, but that I don't think that
Speaker 3: included the Thursdays that was prior to the start of
Speaker 3: Thursdays with Brett Holverson in the large and the Bourbon
Speaker 3: locks and Lunazul tequila shots. But so many on site
Speaker 3: and those are the absolute best because I get to
Speaker 3: hang out with you guys and have a hell of
Speaker 3: a time, but so many because of the significant pacers
Speaker 3: run and taking the NBA seas into the distance. It
Speaker 3: has been one hell of a time. So I guess
Speaker 3: a little bit of a week off. This may be
Speaker 3: the second week that I haven't been out at a
Speaker 3: bar or restaurant. Hell, I don't know, going all the
Speaker 3: way back to I don't know, between the cold season
Speaker 3: probably and Mark's madness. Maybe there was a time in February,
Speaker 3: but not very many. Hell of a year so far,
Speaker 3: everybody and you guys have been such a huge part
Speaker 3: of it. T Shaw writes this JMV. Was this the
Speaker 3: time of year you would go to the Bloomington Sears
Speaker 3: and get your tough skins for the upcoming school year?
Speaker 3: In fact, I would tough skins and t shaw. There
Speaker 3: would always be a great deal of sadness, and not
Speaker 3: because it's time to go back to school. There was
Speaker 3: sadness there, but not as significant as having to shop
Speaker 3: in the husky category for tough skins. Husky, you know
Speaker 3: what husky meant, James.
Speaker 9: I'm assuming it's a beefier, bigger man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, husky mint. You gotta get the fat jeans, buddy
Speaker 3: here here in the fat gen section. I know. Hey,
Speaker 3: listen T show, everybody's everybody else is getting all there.
Speaker 3: You know how hard it was to squeeze my big
Speaker 3: ass back in the day into something from Chess King.
Speaker 9: Do you still have all your clothes from before you
Speaker 9: lost started losing weight? I do sounds like one of
Speaker 9: those things where we needed to do a emotional photo
Speaker 9: shoot for it.
Speaker 3: Fir See, Like I talk about it all the time
Speaker 3: and people think I do these videos where I'm you know,
Speaker 3: kind of you know, shirtless or I'm not sure I
Speaker 3: am shirtless, but you know, not I do these videos.
Speaker 3: I do the videos to promote the shows. I do
Speaker 3: the on air stuff to promote obviously and give testimonials
Speaker 3: for the product, which has worked dramatically for me. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't take photographs of myself and I haven't done that.
Speaker 3: I haven't done one before and after yet.
Speaker 9: Is there a specific reason.
Speaker 3: There was one? Because we haven't brought this up other
Speaker 3: than once the passing of Ryan Samberg. Ryan Samberg did
Speaker 3: an appearance with the Indians at Victory Field. This is
Speaker 3: probably six seven years ago, and Tony Donnie and I
Speaker 3: went down on the field with him. Have you seen
Speaker 3: that picture? Look up that picture. Tony Donahue has it
Speaker 3: on his ex account. That was me like six or
Speaker 3: seven years ago. And that that would be a significant
Speaker 3: before and after what it not?
Speaker 9: That is a big difference right there.
Speaker 3: Because that that dude right there's a big old go
Speaker 3: wait a minute, I still have that shirt, that shirt.
Speaker 3: I'd swim in that shirt now. Obviously it was yeah,
Speaker 3: look at that thing though, Send that bad boy out
Speaker 3: right there. Nah. But yeah, to answer your question, Yeah,
Speaker 3: getting the husky section of of sears and tough skids
Speaker 3: was a ride of passage for me. Back in the day.
Speaker 3: That's a true story right there. Sears was the place though,
Speaker 3: because you can go get everything, the angle of the toys.
Speaker 3: They had a nice toy selection at Sears if they
Speaker 3: had records at one point in time too. Yeah JMB.
Speaker 3: The pain and stigma of the husky childhood is real
Speaker 3: night I always say too. With this boy loss one's
Speaker 3: seventy four probably right now is where I am.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: That's why I weighed when I was fifteen, But now

Speaker 3: I think it was the last time we were at
Speaker 3: Harrizoushia Park Tony Rins. When are we going? Brother? Ben
Speaker 3: in Greenwood writes this, if I lost that much weight, JAMV,
Speaker 3: you couldn't get me to put his shirt on. Why
Speaker 3: are you swimming in his shirt?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I was swimming in the shirt that
Speaker 3: I used, like meaning the shirt that I used to
Speaker 3: wear is way too big for me. No, Ben, what
Speaker 3: you say is accurate. I rarely, if ever wear a
Speaker 3: shirt now I am. I am very shirtless and I
Speaker 3: don't care now. I also went very shirtless when I
Speaker 3: was much more weighty. JMV. I just looked at that
Speaker 3: picture with you in the late Ryan Sandberg. Holy cray, Yeah,
Speaker 3: holy crap. Indeed, big big dude. And what's funny you
Speaker 3: never know once you get on that in body and
Speaker 3: what that does at premier weight loss is it does
Speaker 3: everything from your weight to your body fat percentage to
Speaker 3: something called visceral fat, of which I didn't even know
Speaker 3: what the hell that was. That's bad too, that's fat
Speaker 3: between your organs. That's heavy duty. And really what got
Speaker 3: me into it was the fact my blood pressure was absurd.
Speaker 3: I used to joke about it, and as sure as
Speaker 3: hell wasn't funny. So no Premier weight loss. Matt Thomas
Speaker 3: and everybody up there, the professionals have done a great
Speaker 3: job with me, and more to go to try to maintain.
Speaker 3: But feeling good as I ever have pictures ridiculous with me.
Speaker 4: And Ryan Sandberg.
Speaker 3: JMV any memories of Ryan Sandberg as a player. Certainly
Speaker 3: I remember this I was. This was Game one of
Speaker 3: the NLCS in nineteen eighty four. I think Rick Sutcliffe
Speaker 3: hit a home run for the Cup. No, was it
Speaker 3: eighty four eighty nine? No, eighty four, I had to
Speaker 3: be eighty four. I was in high school. I think
Speaker 3: I was a freshman. Yeah, I have to be eighty four,
Speaker 3: eighty five, I was a freshman. I stayed home to
Speaker 3: watch it. I believe Rick Sutcliffe hit a Game one
Speaker 3: home run. Now you know, ultimately they lost to the Padres.
Speaker 3: But I am not a Cubs fan, but I did
Speaker 3: like that Cub's team. They had so many of the
Speaker 3: old school like all of that team. I think I
Speaker 3: had on those old school urs. Remember the RC Cola
Speaker 3: Cans that had baseball players on the back in the
Speaker 3: late seventies, Gary Matthews, Ron Say, but that was that
Speaker 3: was a fun team to watch. Samberg was a part
Speaker 3: of it, Bull Durham, Jody Davis. You know they traded
Speaker 3: Joe Carter and Mel Hall for Rick Sutcliffe Man. He
Speaker 3: was a big deal, the big Riot hander, Bob Dernier.
Speaker 3: That was a fun team in nineteen eighty four. But
Speaker 3: Samberg was just an absolute joy to watch. He was
Speaker 3: in every single facet, including just human being. When we
Speaker 3: met him years ago. Bill's at two three, nine, ten
Speaker 3: seventy right now, Hello, Bill? How are you? Jamvan doing great?
Speaker 12: Hey?
Speaker 14: One thing I really believe has to happen in training
Speaker 14: camp is the development of Riley Leonard, the third string quarterback,
Speaker 14: to the draft pickout of Notre Dame's rookie. I think
Speaker 14: the Colts are gonna need three quarterbacks do yeah this year?
Speaker 3: I think that would be an absolute disaster if that's necessary.
Speaker 14: Well, Andrey, I mean, you know, it wouldn't it wouldn't hurt.
Speaker 14: And he's a he's a winner, and I look forward
Speaker 14: to seeing them develop developing him. But I want to
Speaker 14: say one thing about Vincent. Back in nineteen thirteen, there
Speaker 14: was a guy that was born down there by the
Speaker 14: name of Bernard L. Haff and he went on from
Speaker 14: from that to have the longest running national television show
Speaker 14: in television history. Skelton, Red Skelton, Yes, you got to
Speaker 14: take board in nineteen seven.
Speaker 3: Hey man, you can't get me on the Vincent Slash
Speaker 3: Knox County Trivia. I got you. I thought, I thought
Speaker 3: you may get me something like George Rogers Clark or something.
Speaker 3: But you want easy on me.
Speaker 14: Oh well, Red Skelton was was just so great and
Speaker 14: uh lived up here in Indianapolis. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 14: He's just kicking around Indianapolis the same time that John
Speaker 14: Dillinger was roaming the streets.
Speaker 3: We did a couple of shows. We did a couple
Speaker 3: of shows from managers that that Dellinger and Capone. I
Speaker 3: think both frequented a couple of different times in the day.
Speaker 3: From what I've been told.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, and I bet you did.
Speaker 4: Indeed happened. But the.
Speaker 14: Congratulations on your run for for having remote broadcasts and
Speaker 14: everything that might you might you might want to call
Speaker 14: the historical Society.
Speaker 3: No, Well, it's funny because back in the day with
Speaker 3: Mark you remember those shows with Mark Patrick, Mark wellly
Speaker 3: didn't dig it. He liked going to Chalky's, but back
Speaker 3: then you could you could smoke. And Chalky's in Castleton,
Speaker 3: where they had all the pool tables, was like the
Speaker 3: first place that you couldn't smoke or they didn't allow smoking,
Speaker 3: and he was cool with that. But the other places
Speaker 3: he was not a drinker, and uh, he certainly didn't
Speaker 3: like to smoke, so he didn't really dig going out
Speaker 3: too much. I'm different in that category. I don't smoke,
Speaker 3: but as far as you know, but I don't smoke.
Speaker 3: But the whole drinking and the aspect and the fun
Speaker 3: loving being out, it's always been enjoyable for.
Speaker 14: Me and by behalf of the rest of the rest
Speaker 14: of the gang that come to a lot of the remotes. Men,
Speaker 14: keep it going, baby, keep it going.
