Speaker 1: And here we go here. Anything you have a chance
Speaker 1: against us, mister cowboy game what you like to do? Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Play chess screw? When there's play.
Speaker 2: Chick, they give off the Jonathan Taylor Chuck cunning its
Speaker 2: way clock of the goal line.
Speaker 1: He's in there, put down.
Speaker 2: Nd Why Jonathan Taylor Wheeler hinds pod.
Speaker 1: Here's handiker into the front board, mishandled it. Mcgins a shot.
Speaker 2: FSI, John, I have never been bedroom to be on
Speaker 2: the air with you here in Indianapolis, a place where
Speaker 2: so many of my dreams have come.
Speaker 1: True with the ride with JMV on ninety three five
Speaker 1: and one oh seven five the fan. Hey, here we
Speaker 1: go live from the Indiana State Fair.
Speaker 2: We're at the Grandstand location where the Governor's Cup will
Speaker 2: take place a little bit later on with a variety
Speaker 2: of races and the Indiana's Standard Bread Association and our
Speaker 2: good friend Tony Rinz brings us to you on what
Speaker 2: has turned out to be a hellaciously awesome Wednesday afternoon
Speaker 2: in central Indiana. At least last check, I'm looking at
Speaker 2: it right now. This is not your ACU weather forecast
Speaker 2: by any stretch, But damn we'll take it.
Speaker 1: It looked like it was gonna rain or storm all day.
Speaker 2: And of course this month of August has super sucked
Speaker 2: so far, so you just kind of.
Speaker 1: Count on the worst and so far, so good man.
Speaker 2: I was out here on Saturday morning shooting a little
Speaker 2: bit of hoop and having a good time with the
Speaker 2: dust Bowl folks over there on the courts, the outdoor courts.
Speaker 2: That was awesome too, But this is a new level
Speaker 2: of awesome. And Tony Wrens and company will join us
Speaker 2: over the course of the afternoon and we'll further explain
Speaker 2: the level of importance right here. I know that they
Speaker 2: had some races and Jake was out here with Quarian
Speaker 2: Company a little bit earlier today, but we're going to
Speaker 2: settle some scores and championships a little bit later on,
Speaker 2: and Tony's going to explain. In fact, we have a
Speaker 2: list of folks that will join us over the course
Speaker 2: of the afternoon to do just that. So it is official.
Speaker 2: Keenan Allen is in Keenan Allen officially. I don't know
Speaker 2: what that means for me tomorrow. And this is kind
Speaker 2: of talking to you guys and Caleb Beck at the
Speaker 2: studio right now. I know DeForest Buckter is going to
Speaker 2: join us, but I put out the bat signal a
Speaker 2: couple of days ago, even though nobody with the Colts
Speaker 2: could say anything because it wasn't concrete.
Speaker 1: But i'd love to get Keenan Allen on this show.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's going to be up to his discretion
Speaker 2: and his availability and all that crap whatever, Like five minutes, Hey,
Speaker 2: how you doing?
Speaker 1: Hey? Why are you here? Hey? That's great?
Speaker 2: Your relationship with Shane Stiken, like all the top of
Speaker 2: my head, in and done and quickly. But I don't
Speaker 2: know how that's going to affect the situation tomorrow. But
Speaker 2: we'll be up at Coats Camp coming up tomorrow drop
Speaker 2: like Grant Park Westfield, joint practice underway with the Falcons.
Speaker 1: They go back to back today and.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow, and of course coming up on Saturday that is
Speaker 2: preseason game number two, and we're going to be in
Speaker 2: touchdown tad for that leading you up to preseason game
Speaker 2: number two. So all that and then some and the
Speaker 2: conversation and again playing off of yesterday. There's no real
Speaker 2: new established ground regarding Keenan Allen, but it does not
Speaker 2: take a football genius by any stretch to understand that
Speaker 2: a move like that was going to be necessary. I
Speaker 2: don't know if that equates to more wins, more possibility
Speaker 2: is to win, a better team, a better offense.
Speaker 1: You just look.
Speaker 2: Around and you know that it was necessary. There's still
Speaker 2: some name dudes out there. I don't know if anybody
Speaker 2: had any interest in Tyreek Hill. I saw with the
Speaker 2: Texans reportedly lost a wide receiver from their cores a
Speaker 2: little bit earlier, as reported today. I don't know if
Speaker 2: that means that, you know, all of a sudden, guys
Speaker 2: like Tyreek Hill might get a little bit more interest,
Speaker 2: or maybe more so than Chase Claypool was here or
Speaker 2: Josh Reynolds was here, or you know whatever, the not
Speaker 2: so good Saint Brown who also tried out for the
Speaker 2: Colts earlier this week here. I don't know what that
Speaker 2: means for them, but I do know this, at the
Speaker 2: very least, the Colts absolutely had to do what the
Speaker 2: Colts did.
Speaker 1: And Keenan Allen, is that so funny?
Speaker 2: Normally, as I mentioned yesterday, you look around at moves
Speaker 2: in the NFL and you gauge them that's a good move,
Speaker 2: then believe me, that's a good move.
Speaker 1: Not downplaying it whatsoever. It's a good move.
Speaker 2: If it translates into being a good move, that's what
Speaker 2: it is, and that's really how we should go about
Speaker 2: the business. And the translation here. If this is such
Speaker 2: an important season where jobs are finally on the line,
Speaker 2: then you need help. And that was the most obvious
Speaker 2: of these situations on this team in which you need
Speaker 2: to help. But you can compare different teams in different
Speaker 2: sports and all that matters is the winning. It is
Speaker 2: weird to me how everybody wants to treat the WNBA
Speaker 2: and the fever differently. And I've said this all along,
Speaker 2: and I say this in videos. You should see the
Speaker 2: video regarding Stephanie. What a couple of days ago. Man,
Speaker 2: people are ah like this, Hey, Caleb, am I on you?
Speaker 1: Ah? That's how they are at me right there.
Speaker 2: Ah, I'm mad, see, And what you're mad about, you're
Speaker 2: not mad about the things that matter now.
Speaker 1: Granted, I'm with.
Speaker 2: You on the missteps and the non backing up of
Speaker 2: personnel of your players, but as I mentioned last week,
Speaker 2: when you doubled back and you took care of that
Speaker 2: and then the players came out and back to you
Speaker 2: on it, I'm sorry. You can still have your opinion.
Speaker 2: Please do, but it's really no longer open for debate.
Speaker 2: It should be put to bed. The problem is you guys.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say. If you're not this, then you're not
Speaker 2: a part of the point of argument I'm making right now.
Speaker 2: But there are a lot of you guys out there
Speaker 2: that are just working on no thing but agendas, and
Speaker 2: you have been dictated the agenda in which you feel
Speaker 2: like you should go after, or that you want to
Speaker 2: tackle the reason why you're critical. I've been around here
Speaker 2: long enough to know this, and I'll be around here
Speaker 2: a lot longer, I'm sure, but it would be nice
Speaker 2: if anything, and I mean anything, would coincide with some winning.
Speaker 2: And frankly, you can judge all this, but that is
Speaker 2: the ultimate I said to a friend of mine the
Speaker 2: other day who responded, you know, regarding this, and it's weird.
Speaker 2: This is like the only sport that we follow to
Speaker 2: where ultimately, to you, winning is not going to be enough.
Speaker 2: I guarantee you Kayln Clark's not coaching this team, And
Speaker 2: if Kaylyn Clark were coaching this team, Kaylyn Clark would
Speaker 2: coach herself not to turn it over as much as
Speaker 2: she does. You want to know why because she looks
Speaker 2: in the mirror and she takes ownership of a mistake. That's
Speaker 2: what makes you an elite level player. That's part of
Speaker 2: the process. Yeah, sure, you can work hard every day,
Speaker 2: you can be focused on your craft, work harder than
Speaker 2: everybody else. I mean all that happy horse bleep right there.
Speaker 2: That's great. But at the same time, when you make mistakes,
Speaker 2: you take ownership.
Speaker 1: Of those mistakes.
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendez has said it yesterday and everybody was giggling
Speaker 2: and laughing about how this guy sounds weird and we
Speaker 2: got to change him, and it's all performative.
Speaker 1: Now it's not performative. That's how he's gotten along. Now.
Speaker 2: He's made himself a number one overall selection, a NCAA
Speaker 2: National Football Championship quarterback, a Heisman Trophy winner. That's what
Speaker 2: he's made himself into. And right at the top of
Speaker 2: that list is self evaluation, taking ownership of mistakes, learning
Speaker 2: from those mistakes.
Speaker 1: That's what happens.
Speaker 2: That's what happens, especially to those that are elite level.
Speaker 2: And it's just always going to be odd to me
Speaker 2: that with the fever in mind, you can get a
Speaker 2: win last night one on one ninety five. Then you
Speaker 2: can look up and down and the season. Kelsey Mitchell
Speaker 2: is having twenty nine points, twenty plus points twenty consecutive games,
Speaker 2: longest streak in a single season in WNBA history. Asia
Speaker 2: Wilson has the longest streak. I believe that was over
Speaker 2: a couple of different campaigns. Cayln Clark was outstanding twenty
Speaker 2: four points four to nine from distance seven Ninmes still
Speaker 2: turns it over a little bit too much. And really,
Speaker 2: if she's going to and she will watch the tape,
Speaker 2: she'll wonder, why, all right, so I'm gonna go behind
Speaker 2: my back right here? Why I'd ribble this off the
Speaker 2: back of my foot out of bounds in situations and
Speaker 2: situations you can get away with against Toronto, but others
Speaker 2: maybe not. But one of the reasons why she's the
Speaker 2: lead is because of that self ownership and the evaluation
Speaker 2: what you do. But evidently for some it's just not
Speaker 2: going to be enough and it's never going to be
Speaker 2: enough for the head coach. And I've had this thing
Speaker 2: peg from the outset. Has she made mistakes? She has,
Speaker 2: much like the WNBA has made mistakes. There's no doubt
Speaker 2: about it. But again, winning should be what you're all
Speaker 2: about at this point, If you're all about something else,
Speaker 2: then sports wise, you're not real to me. If you're
Speaker 2: all about the other crap and not about the winning,
Speaker 2: then you're not real to me. Then you're not allowed
Speaker 2: to make comments about the past ten now years with
Speaker 2: the Colts where you tell me it's all about wanting,
Speaker 2: So in all of a sudden, just because it's not
Speaker 2: the Colts, it's not nah, that doesn't doesn't flow with me.
Speaker 1: That's problematic.
Speaker 2: Now you take the lead of what somebody else has
Speaker 2: said and just kind of run with all of these
Speaker 2: different agendas. The hell with the agendas. It's about what
Speaker 2: your team does. And again, the ultimate judge of this
Speaker 2: is not how you know you respond or you know
Speaker 2: how you get angry and shake your fist in a
Speaker 2: pregame presser last week. If you're Stephanie White, the ultimate
Speaker 2: judge is how does team do compared to how it
Speaker 2: should Because you are offensively having a season that nobody's
Speaker 2: ever seen. You have a back court that nobody has
Speaker 2: ever seen. So if you fall short, that's how you're
Speaker 2: going to be judged, and that's how you should be judged.
Speaker 1: It is odd that many.
Speaker 2: Cannot draw that particular conclusion, but I know a lot
Speaker 2: of you want to suggest that they should have won
Speaker 2: by more than what just six points or whatever it
Speaker 2: was last night one on one ninety five. But they
Speaker 2: consistently put up ninety to one hundred, go over one hundred.
Speaker 2: That is impressive and it is so much once again,
Speaker 2: just like the Spacers teams that you fell in love
Speaker 2: with the past couple of years. And really it was
Speaker 2: the Pacer team the year prior to the seventh game
Speaker 2: of the NBA Finals and the Halliburton injury. It was
Speaker 2: that team when we were wondering, man, if you could
Speaker 2: just provide just a little bit of resistance, it will
Speaker 2: all be good.
Speaker 1: And occasionally they would.
Speaker 2: Most of the time they wouldn't, and I've often said this,
Speaker 2: when they're best player, Tyrese Haliburton realizes that he has
Speaker 2: to buckle down and get after it a little bit
Speaker 2: more defensively, and he cannot be so easily compromised at
Speaker 2: the point of attack. I'm not talking about ball screens
Speaker 2: or anything like that. I'm just talking about a step
Speaker 2: to the left and step to the right. These guys
Speaker 2: are ultra talented, but you always had Miles Turner to
Speaker 2: be there to at the very least, if not erase it,
Speaker 2: be a threat to challenge some going in as they form.
Speaker 1: A layup line.
Speaker 2: And that's exactly the way that it was going back,
Speaker 2: not the season before last, but the season prior to
Speaker 2: that with the Pacers, and for young players and especially
Speaker 2: high level young players. And I think this also accompanies
Speaker 2: that you have to be incredibly smart, You have to
Speaker 2: be savvy. That's not also lost on me at all
Speaker 2: in this equation is how bright you have to be,
Speaker 2: how good you have to be. All these things that
Speaker 2: are built in to your drive, but you have to
Speaker 2: recognize it. And part of that recognition is the understanding
Speaker 2: that you go through practice after practice.
Speaker 1: Working out on your own.
Speaker 2: Game wise, you have to recognize the flaws in your situation,
Speaker 2: the flaws in your system and the way you do.
Speaker 2: You work on that and you make up for that.
Speaker 2: That's what we'll watch for, and I think in a
Speaker 2: large part that's what we've seen with the Fever.
Speaker 1: It's weird.
Speaker 2: I know that some of you are still very uncomfortable
Speaker 2: with the Fever once they get a big lead. And
Speaker 2: again that's how we felt with the Pacers.
Speaker 1: Two.
Speaker 2: But I feel a lot more or comfortable with the
Speaker 2: way that they're playing all the way around, and I
Speaker 2: know part of it is part of it is I'm
Speaker 2: a little bit angled because I love the philosophy of
Speaker 2: your best defense.
Speaker 1: Is an elite level offense. I love that. Now.
Speaker 2: That's because not a lot of us really dig on
Speaker 2: playing defense. Sure as Helle not playing it or watching it.
Speaker 2: But the fact remains, you have to get to a
Speaker 2: certain level defensively to get to that championship level, and
Speaker 2: that's what the Fever, I believe, are continuing to chase
Speaker 2: right now. There are some categories with this team that
Speaker 2: you still have to get better. As I mentioned a
Speaker 2: little bit earlier, whether you're Caitlin Clark or the team altogether,
Speaker 2: you still turn it over way too much and you've
Speaker 2: got a side step that you've got to get better there.
Speaker 2: But in a lot of areas, you know, the sense
Speaker 2: of resistance that I'm talking about defensively, you can still
Speaker 2: improve on that. The fouling certainly has improved, but the
Speaker 2: advantage that they have is so much like the Pacers
Speaker 2: to where you get out and you run and you
Speaker 2: could say, as much as you want, I love playing
Speaker 2: this brand, this style of basketball, and then you're faced
Speaker 2: with having to play that level. Good luck with it,
Speaker 2: and you're playing a team that's used to it. Now,
Speaker 2: these ladies are used to it. The Pacers were used
Speaker 2: to it. Yeah, teams that you don't see all that often,
Speaker 2: even if you're in the Eastern Conference. It's a handful
Speaker 2: of games Western teams. And man, you're on a Tuesday
Speaker 2: or a Wednesday night in the middle of an NBA
Speaker 2: or a WNBA season and all of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 2: you are forced into Scotia Bank Arena. They're nineteen three
Speaker 2: in there looking down on you, and that pace is
Speaker 2: ramped up.
Speaker 1: Hello, cotton Mouth.
Speaker 2: That's just such to me, a tremendous advantage for the
Speaker 2: Fever like it was for the Pacers.
Speaker 1: Now you have, as I mentioned, you got to get
Speaker 1: better defensively.
Speaker 2: But when you start with your offense being a great
Speaker 2: defensive weapon, because teams know that you've got to keep
Speaker 2: up the pace, you got to keep up the scoring,
Speaker 2: and you're probably going to have to get something from
Speaker 2: others on that floor that you would not necessarily get.
Speaker 2: Incredibly impressive to me, we can hit that if you
Speaker 2: like the Fever a winner last night and they are
Speaker 2: humming right now on the road in Dallas coming up next.
Speaker 2: I think the whole insertion of Tempson in the starting
Speaker 2: lineup has also helped too, because it's kind of somebody
Speaker 2: that doesn't necessarily need the basketball, but we'll go and
Speaker 2: get the basketball, and that is part of what is
Speaker 2: necessary six and zero when she starts on the season.
Speaker 1: That's the fever.
Speaker 2: Sophie Cunningham at thirteen points, three for three from distance.
Speaker 2: Also some words regarding the future of the WNBA. This
Speaker 2: is something we all know, and I know you're going
Speaker 2: to say, well, wait a menute, you don't think that
Speaker 2: they need do leadership for the fever. When you're suggesting
Speaker 2: the WNBA needs new leadership now because the fever, A
Speaker 2: lot of you want to say, well, they would play
Speaker 2: this well anyway.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe so, but Stephanie.
Speaker 2: White has done a good job with this team, especially recently.
Speaker 2: Kathy Engelbert is not long for that position because there's
Speaker 2: going to be a shelf life on this There's going
Speaker 2: to be a shelf life on this entertainment, just like
Speaker 2: you think of it.
Speaker 1: From this angle, we are.
Speaker 2: Approaching a time to where this dialogue is going to
Speaker 2: be secondary. And a lot of you are going God hallelujah,
Speaker 2: but a lot of this dialogue is going to be secondary.
Speaker 2: With the NFL in college football starting, it just will be.
Speaker 2: And simply put, this league has not taken advantage. It's
Speaker 2: taken a lot more hits than it has advantage of
Speaker 2: the situations in which it's been given. And it's easy
Speaker 2: to understand the nineteen to three last night in Toronto
Speaker 2: at Scotia Bank. You know, American Airlines arena up next
Speaker 2: in Dallas.
Speaker 1: Hell, I don't know.
Speaker 2: They probably play in Longhorned Cattle Barn probably down there
Speaker 2: most of the time, don't they, Caleb Hell, I don't
Speaker 2: even know where the Wings play cattle Bard? Do they
Speaker 2: playing some cattle bar down in Dallas? Normally when the
Speaker 2: fever out there, when the fever come to town, you go
Speaker 2: to a new place than what you normally do.
Speaker 1: It is true way that it is. What are they? Yeah?
Speaker 2: So that's that's something that you only have a short
Speaker 2: shelf life.
Speaker 1: To take advantage of. And they need new leadership.
Speaker 2: And Sophie Cunningham is I think short quote was Bold commissioner.
Speaker 1: I guess Bold. I don't know.
Speaker 2: In terms of bold, bold who wants the best for
Speaker 2: the players and not maybe for themselves. But either way,
Speaker 2: this is not worked and it's not going to work,
Speaker 2: and there's going to have to be something done with
Speaker 2: that in mind. So Sophie Cunningham is not wrong and
Speaker 2: not wrong all about that aspect. All right, we can
Speaker 2: hit that at more two three nine ten seventy three
Speaker 2: one seven two three nine ten seventy on the text lote,
Speaker 2: I could see you working right here the grand stand
Speaker 2: of the Indiana State Fair, the Indiana Standard Bred Horse Association.
Speaker 2: I think I got that right. Tony Rams is going
Speaker 2: to join us coming up in a bit. We have
Speaker 2: the Governor's Cup we're gonna be talking about as well.
Speaker 2: Caleb Zuver is back of the studio. How are things
Speaker 2: going there without me today? I think over strong, Hey
Speaker 2: been good.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna see you probably until Sunday at this point,
Speaker 3: because you're gonna be gone.
Speaker 2: They're gonna try to hustle them. Yeah, they're gonna try
Speaker 2: to hustle my ass for this meeting tomorrow. I don't
Speaker 2: know how the hell I'm on to do it at
Speaker 2: one o'clock. Well, I gotta be up there. Well, and
Speaker 2: the problem is gonna be that's a joint practice, and
Speaker 2: that place is gonna be pack coming up tomorrow. Man,
Speaker 2: I can't be going up there at a two thirty in
Speaker 2: the afternoon.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens there. So maybe I guess
Speaker 3: I will see you tomorrow. But yeah, man, holding it
Speaker 3: down over here. We got a loaded show today, lots
Speaker 3: of guess moving in and out.
Speaker 1: But I'm excited now about that. All right. A couple
Speaker 1: of those I mentioned.
Speaker 2: John Nolan, the Voice of the Fever, is going to
Speaker 2: join us coming up a little bit later on.
Speaker 1: Tony RNs is going to join us as well.
Speaker 2: He's going to set exactly what we're going to witness
Speaker 2: out here, and we'll be talking about over the course
Speaker 2: of the afternoon here at the Indiana State Fair. Tony's
Speaker 2: going to join us coming up, I believe at the
Speaker 2: bottom of the hour. Tony's going to rejoin us coming
Speaker 2: up on Friday on a road show which will be
Speaker 2: absolutely outstanding. I'll explain that and Tony and I will
Speaker 2: get into it coming up here at the bottom of
Speaker 2: the hour as well. So we got a lot of
Speaker 2: guests here at the State Fair, and again got a
Speaker 2: lot going on in terms of the Governor's Cup, we
Speaker 2: shall explain. And some harness racing has already gone on
Speaker 2: out here and is getting set to get underway once again.
Speaker 2: And did I read this accurately? Is it David Kickner
Speaker 2: is going to join us? Correct?
Speaker 1: That's correct? Median? Do you know who that is?
Speaker 2: Before you were told he was coming on the show,
Speaker 2: did you know who David Keckner was?
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is backwards. I didn't know
Speaker 3: the name, but I knew the face. Yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 1: The name. You knew the name but not the face.
Speaker 4: No other other way around. I knew the face but.
Speaker 1: Not the name. Oh okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: So when you stands out, yeah, I think the name saying,
Speaker 2: there's no way this guy hasn't gone through life with
Speaker 2: people mispronouncing his name every day, No.
Speaker 3: Way, Yeah except me? But yeah, so it should be
Speaker 3: fun to have. He's performing Friday Friday Night at the Helium.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Helium Comedy Club. And Dave keck there's been
Speaker 2: on the show before. If you remember, he was a
Speaker 2: big part of Anchorman, both Anchorman's as a part of
Speaker 2: Champ the Sports Guy, a number of movies.
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell best friend. We know all about that too.
Speaker 2: But what's interesting is, like many of his contemporaries, he
Speaker 2: went through Second City in the Olympic Comedy Group in Chicago, Illinois,
Speaker 2: and if you look back on some of those former members,
Speaker 2: it is like a who's who of comedic film and
Speaker 2: stand up for decades, and he was a part of that.
Speaker 2: He was I believe the first season Will Ferrell was
Speaker 2: on SNL was that ninety five, I believe ninety five
Speaker 2: or ninety six. He was a part of that too,
Speaker 2: And I believe being from Tipton, Missouri, which is on
Speaker 2: the southwestern side of the state past Columbia, I'm assuming
Speaker 2: that much like the Paul Rudds of the world and
Speaker 2: Jason Sedekis, you also have been a part of the
Speaker 2: same films. But I'm assuming that much like those two,
Speaker 2: he is also a Kansas City Chiefs fan, and that
Speaker 2: Sunday Night are on the road in week number two
Speaker 2: and Kansas City Chiefs conversation, I'm sure with Dave Kickner
Speaker 2: who joins us coming up in the four o'clock hour.
Speaker 2: Other than that, a lot of being a lot of
Speaker 2: you at two, three, nine, ten seven. If you guys
Speaker 2: want to chime in. You can do that three one seven, two,
Speaker 2: three nine ten seventy on the text line, I shall
Speaker 2: read those two.
Speaker 1: It is a busy show.
Speaker 2: And the Colts and joint practices with the Falcons Matt
Speaker 2: Taylor and I. Instead of doing the normal Colts update,
Speaker 2: he and I are going to yack it up coming
Speaker 2: up here in the six o'clock hour as well.
Speaker 1: And then I'll be up there coming up tomorrow.
Speaker 2: And I know this to be certain that I know
Speaker 2: that deforce Bucker is going to join the show.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can.
Speaker 2: Get Keenan Allen, but we are sure as hell going
Speaker 2: to try, as that's going to be my one and
Speaker 2: only venture at drop Light up in Westfield at Grand
Speaker 2: Park coming up tomorrow and then on Friday on the road.
Speaker 1: All that and more we'll explain.
Speaker 2: I've got tickets for you too, Deep Purple in Kansas,
Speaker 2: that's next Monday at ever Wise, and my good friend
Speaker 2: Matt Gowans keep it to the mind too. Triple A's
Speaker 2: got great deals going on for the State Fair Triple
Speaker 2: a dot Com. But my good friend who is the
Speaker 2: pres of Triple A, Matt Gowens, has given me tickets
Speaker 2: to give away for you to an incredible rock show.
Speaker 2: I'll give you a chance to win those a little
Speaker 2: bit later on as well.
Speaker 1: So sit tight on that.
Speaker 2: The fever from last night Keithan Allen with the Colts,
Speaker 2: that is official. I'll look around the NFL. The Texan's
Speaker 2: a bit compromised with a wide receiver injury as well.
Speaker 2: We got that and more coming up live from the
Speaker 2: Indiana State Fair. The grand stands, our location, do not
Speaker 2: go anywhere. Got us all hooked up until not even
Speaker 2: six o'clock, but with Matt Taylor going after six o'clock
Speaker 2: on a Wednesday. Thank you for joining us. It's ninety
Speaker 2: three five and one oh seven five a fan.

Speaker 2: I'm got.
Speaker 1: For you, buddy. You're gonna pay for it. Good night,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Ninety three five and one oh
Speaker 1: seven five the Fan.
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to the State Fair. Governor's Cup going
Speaker 2: on right now. I should mention too, because there's been
Speaker 2: a lot of speculation regarding live golf and whether or
Speaker 2: not it will continue after this weekend at Chatham Hills
Speaker 2: in Westfield. CEO Scott O'Neill confident that Live Golf will
Speaker 2: continue as it attempts to remake itself amid present financial
Speaker 2: hurdles and no funding from the public and investment fun
Speaker 2: of Saudi Arabia beyond this season. Now it is in Westfield,
Speaker 2: as I mentioned coming up later on this week, and
Speaker 2: one of the reasons why people thought it was all
Speaker 2: going to fall apart is because he had scheduled a
Speaker 2: concert that it had canceled. But their CEO suggests he
Speaker 2: is confident that it continues.
Speaker 1: He said, don't bet against us. I would.
Speaker 2: Bet against it, firmly bet against it. I mentioned too.
Speaker 2: We'll get to Matt Taylor coming up at the top
Speaker 2: of the hour. Our Colt's Update is going to be
Speaker 2: live today with me and the voice of the Colts,
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor.
Speaker 1: From the Texans camp.
Speaker 2: Today, Jaydon Higgins torn acl According to a report, he
Speaker 2: would be out for the season, so obviously that is
Speaker 2: not good for the wide receiving corps down in Houston.
Speaker 2: And we'll get the latest on the groin injury to
Speaker 2: Tyler Warren, the cold tight end up at coach camp
Speaker 2: a little bit earlier today, that of DJ Gettings too
Speaker 2: that a Moore coming up, Tony Wren's one final time.
Speaker 2: I know you got a bail here, So the Governor's
Speaker 2: Cup continues here at the State Fair. And you and
Speaker 2: I and Brent coming up on Friday.
Speaker 5: Friday at Taylor's up in Ingles, looking forward to that.
Speaker 5: We've got racing tonight at Hoo's your Park, Tomorrow night
Speaker 5: at Hoo's your Park, Friday and Saturday. You know we're
Speaker 5: in the middle of the championship meet. Yesterday was day
Speaker 5: one hundred, one hundred and sixty day. Meat come out
Speaker 5: and see us. Got a lot of good racing coming.
Speaker 1: Up Friday, My brother, I can't wait for it.
Speaker 5: Absolute thank you pal, Hey, thank you guys.
Speaker 2: John Tony Wrens right there, he rejoins Brent Holverson and
Speaker 2: I coming up on Friday meantime. On the Andy Moore
Speaker 2: Automative Group hootline, he is the voice of the Fever.
Speaker 2: Nice win on the road last night in the midst
Speaker 2: of a road swing. In fact, John Nolan joins us, Hello, John,
Speaker 2: how are you damn.
Speaker 4: B I am good.
Speaker 6: I'm joining you from the streets of Dallas, where the
Speaker 6: odyssey is continuing for the Fever. If you can't hear
Speaker 6: me too well, or if you hear too much street noise,
Speaker 6: let me know, would have been smart if I had
Speaker 6: packed the headphones here on this trip outside.
Speaker 4: But alas, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you this, there's no way in the
Speaker 2: world this will be as awkward as my conversation with
Speaker 2: David Keckner, the actor from Anchorman, a little bit earlier.
Speaker 1: So I think you're all good.
Speaker 2: You can basically do anything right now and nothing will
Speaker 2: be in that category.
Speaker 6: Should I start saying whammy or something though, talk about
Speaker 6: how much I love LAMB, Well, I'm actually in front
Speaker 6: of a big lamp right now.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, you could do a lot of things and
Speaker 2: not get close.
Speaker 4: That one on the podcast though, Yeah.
Speaker 2: We'll have to figure some things out for real. That
Speaker 2: is John Nolan with us. Hey, first things first, Kelsey
Speaker 2: Mitchell obviously in the midst of an MVP race right now,
Speaker 2: and the Fever are playing as well as they have
Speaker 2: all season, but obviously overheating was a part of what
Speaker 2: we witnessed last night. Anything latest wise on the Guard
Speaker 2: of the Fever.
Speaker 6: I think the game status report for everyone should be
Speaker 6: coming out.
Speaker 4: In the next half hour or so.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I'm going off of what Coach White told
Speaker 6: us post game last night, where overheating. If anyone caught
Speaker 6: on the TV broadcast it, O Caitlin pointed out how
Speaker 6: warm it was. And this is actually the third time
Speaker 6: in the last four games that the Fever have been
Speaker 6: playing in a building that was probably hotter than it
Speaker 6: should have been. But yeah, optimistic that for Kelsey there
Speaker 6: won't be any any carryover.
Speaker 4: But we'll get our sacks come up soon.
Speaker 2: Let's John get into the hotness of the buildings. Here
Speaker 2: is it because it is packed? Well, our our teams
Speaker 2: not paying their energy bills too. I mean, we're in
Speaker 2: a spot to where you have a c These are
Speaker 2: state of the art buildings. This is not like the
Speaker 2: Boston Garden in nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 1: So why all the heat?
Speaker 4: Good question.
Speaker 6: I'm not typically a conspiracy theory guy, but I'll tell
Speaker 6: you that in Atlanta on Sunday evening, I actually did
Speaker 6: hear from a facility staff that the air conditioning was malfunctioning.
Speaker 6: I could tell by their body language that it was
Speaker 6: a rough day for them.
Speaker 4: Because that was not.
Speaker 6: A preconceived plan to conspire against the Fever. Last that
Speaker 6: I don't know Scotia Bank Arena opened in ninety nine.
Speaker 6: It's kind of a little bit of an outdated building.
Speaker 6: The Tempo don't normally play there. I guess they don't often. Yeah,
Speaker 6: they're not usually hosting nineteen thousand, three hundred for basketball
Speaker 6: games in the summer.
Speaker 4: So I don't know what the issue was there last.
Speaker 6: Night, but it is puzzling Minnesota Earlier this month was
Speaker 6: another one where it felt warmer than it I should
Speaker 6: have been.
Speaker 1: That's John Nolan voiced the Fever.
Speaker 2: So I'll go ahead and attempt a conspiracy theory right
Speaker 2: here because I like them. I don't often believe in them,
Speaker 2: but I like to talk about them a great deal.
Speaker 2: This is a fast paced offense that everybody defensively would
Speaker 2: love to slow down. Is this a measure and a
Speaker 2: means in which you think other teams are on the
Speaker 2: road for the Fever trying to slow them down offensively?
Speaker 1: You know what?
Speaker 6: I think the WNBA has had enough headlines this year
Speaker 6: that I.
Speaker 4: Won't touch that one.
Speaker 6: But obviously it's something that winds up affecting both teams,
Speaker 6: and so yeah, you know, going back to that game
Speaker 6: in Atlanta on Sunday, it seemed like Angel Reese was
Speaker 6: as winded as anyone with how warm it was. So no,
Speaker 6: I don't think that this, But yeah, to your point again,
Speaker 6: as a reminder for folks to appreciate this Fever team,
Speaker 6: it is an offense like the WNBA has never seen before,
Speaker 6: averaging better than ninety six points a game. No one's
Speaker 6: ever scored more than ninety three game before you Caitlin
Speaker 6: and Kelsey basically setting new records every time out. So yeah,
Speaker 6: teams definitely are trying to figure out a way to
Speaker 6: slow them down, but no one has really effectively pulled
Speaker 6: it off yet. Kelsey last night still with twenty nine
Speaker 6: points even if she was limited to twenty four minutes.
Speaker 2: John, how in the world though, with facilities, I don't
Speaker 2: care if it is twenty years or so old. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's AC, come on, it's have people standing by. This
Speaker 2: is a professional league and it's not like it was
Speaker 2: back in the day. So that to me is a
Speaker 2: little bit hard to understand. AC malfunctioning. No, AAC not enough,
Speaker 2: not being used to nineteen three in your building, that
Speaker 2: is all a little flimsy to me.
Speaker 4: I I'm not going to disagree with you.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to disagree, John Nolan is with us
Speaker 2: unprecedented offensive prow from this back court, and certainly this
Speaker 2: team offense would be playing as well as it has
Speaker 2: all season long. What has brought all this together?
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, jam V Hughes repeat that question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is what has brought this level of unprecedented
Speaker 2: offense at the WNBA with this group altogether this season?
Speaker 4: And a key piece would be the health and continuity.
Speaker 6: You know Caitlyn obviously everyone knows miss most of last
Speaker 6: year and then it was a little bit stop and
Speaker 6: go the first month or two this season.
Speaker 4: So I think the fact that they have been able
Speaker 4: to continue to to build.
Speaker 6: I know when you've had Debbie anton Elliot and she's
Speaker 6: used the term layering, adding layers to what they're capable
Speaker 6: of offensively and defensively, and you know, one of those
Speaker 6: extra wrinkles or a couple, you know, ones that stand
Speaker 6: down on the offensive side. The fact that Allah has
Speaker 6: turned into a premier shooter, the fact that Caitlin is
Speaker 6: taking what the defense gives her so of late that's
Speaker 6: been becoming pretty lethal in the mid range. So just
Speaker 6: the fact that no one's complacent and continues to add
Speaker 6: what they're doing in the fact that Kelsey Mitchell has
Speaker 6: just become completely unstoppable.
Speaker 2: Boy, there's no doubt about that. John Nolan, voice of
Speaker 2: the Fever, kind of up to join us. He is
Speaker 2: on the Endymore Automotive Group hotline the Fever over Toronto
Speaker 2: last night, and you get more of the Fever obviously,
Speaker 2: and what they've accomplished during this run too. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I think that the the insertion of Timpson into the
Speaker 2: starting lineup during these times as well, that's so paid
Speaker 2: off for Stephanie Wading Company.
Speaker 6: Yes, in multiple ways, because obviously KK continues to emerge
Speaker 6: and you can just see her starting to gain confidence
Speaker 6: and be more aggressive and go to the basket with conviction.
Speaker 6: And then I mean what she does offensively is just
Speaker 6: a BTUs because her real value is her rebounding and
Speaker 6: her defensive versatility guarding you know, every player on the
Speaker 6: other team point guard through center. And then also give
Speaker 6: credit to Monique Billings who's doing a solid job coming
Speaker 6: off the bench as the backup five compared to when
Speaker 6: she was starting at the four, and the coaching staff
Speaker 6: and kind of crunched the numbers and determined that you know,
Speaker 6: Moniques yet better playing the five rather than as the
Speaker 6: four alongside of Leah Boston. She's been a real professional
Speaker 6: about the changing her role here at this point in
Speaker 6: her career. So yeah, credit to everyone from the coaching
Speaker 6: staff for making the midseason move and then the way
Speaker 6: that the.
Speaker 4: Players have responded.
Speaker 2: John Nolan, Voice of the Fever Fever back at it.
Speaker 2: That's coming up tomorrow night. They're on the road in
Speaker 2: Dallas and then Saturday Sunday back to back twenty second
Speaker 2: twenty third at New York and then at Chicago. We
Speaker 2: know with that last win over Dallas that the Wings
Speaker 2: were compromised without a doubt.
Speaker 1: Are they going to be healthy coming up tomorrow night?
Speaker 2: Are at least more firing all the cylinders that they
Speaker 2: normally would like to see?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'll know.
Speaker 6: Jessica Shepherd, who has become one of the top forwards
Speaker 6: in the w NBA, started.
Speaker 4: In the All Star Game.
Speaker 6: She was out with an ankle injury and missed that
Speaker 6: game at the field House last week, but in their
Speaker 6: game since then she returned. Now some news that actually
Speaker 6: just broke in the last hour or two.
Speaker 4: Is at easy fud Fellow.
Speaker 6: Cottage cheese enthusiasts for Ehamv the number one picking the
Speaker 6: draft out of Yukon. She has been rolled out for
Speaker 6: the season with a knee injuries. So Hazy Fudd as
Speaker 6: a rookie not quite the same impact as Olivia Miles
Speaker 6: with Minnesota, but Fud was coming along well.
Speaker 4: She won the three point shooting.
Speaker 6: Contest at All Star weekend and had turned into a
Speaker 6: starter for them.
Speaker 4: So that is a blow for Dallas.
Speaker 6: They'll obviously continue to be without her then for this
Speaker 6: game tomorrow, but yeah, I think for the Fever it's
Speaker 6: going to be challenging, not only because they're on this.
Speaker 4: Arduous road trip.
Speaker 6: It's a Dallas team that's definitely going to be coming
Speaker 6: in with some hunger and urgency as they've been on
Speaker 6: a skid. But now it'll be their second game with
Speaker 6: their star shepherd back, so that'll make it tougher for
Speaker 6: the Fever than it was last week.
Speaker 2: And the one thing that I want to see them
Speaker 2: get better at doing, the Fever still turned the ball
Speaker 2: over too much.
Speaker 6: Yeah right, and you know Caitlin would admit that last night.
Speaker 6: And it's basically been a repeating pattern for some of
Speaker 6: these games, where the Fever build a comfortable you know,
Speaker 6: fifteen or so point lead, and then you know, it's
Speaker 6: like their gracious hosts and they turn it over a
Speaker 6: few times in a row, and it's like opening the
Speaker 6: door to welcome the other team back in. So you know,
Speaker 6: I've joked it and made for some more dramatic finishes,
Speaker 6: more entertaining broadcasts probably, but you know, for the sake
Speaker 6: of the team, that's definitely something they want to rectify.
Speaker 4: They've shown some progress with that. Yeah, last night was.
Speaker 6: A case where it flared again in the third quarter
Speaker 6: into the court.
Speaker 2: You know, and and how many of those last night
Speaker 2: where I would like to call it uncharacteristic, but sometimes
Speaker 2: it isn't. We're completely unforced turnover Sjohn, Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean, Caitlyn as a tremendous handle, So yeah, I
Speaker 6: mean you had to kind of do a double take
Speaker 6: when there was the one time where she dribbled it
Speaker 6: off of her foot. But you know, again, I think
Speaker 6: credit to Kaitlin for having the mental toughness and pretty
Speaker 6: much anytime it's come up here where there's been a
Speaker 6: question about anything, she's been able to address that and
Speaker 6: improve and get better defense as an example recently. Right,
Speaker 6: So you know, I got confidence that in time, the
Speaker 6: turnovers will be cleaned up. I mean, actually, going back
Speaker 6: to that last game against Dallas on Friday, she had
Speaker 6: tennis sist's only one turnover.
Speaker 4: I'd say that's a thing.
Speaker 6: If you can bottle that up, you know, that only
Speaker 6: ups the odds for the Fever as a title contenders.
Speaker 2: All right, it's at Dallas coming up tomorrow night. You
Speaker 2: can catch it right here. John Nolan, the Voice of
Speaker 2: the Fever on the call Mick Tidrew has you coming
Speaker 2: up tomorrow at seven point thirty. I believe that is
Speaker 2: a prime video game on TV if you want to
Speaker 2: find it there, But obviously we want you to listen
Speaker 2: right here on the streets of Dallas, Texas. It is
Speaker 2: the Voice of the Fever, John Nolan.
Speaker 6: Yes, and stay tuned a Indiana Fever. On social media,
Speaker 6: we're doing what they call the some man on the
Speaker 6: street interviews. Although get to what credit the folk to
Speaker 6: Dallas were being smart enough to not be watering the
Speaker 6: streets when it's one hundred and three degrees outside here.
Speaker 4: So our Fever digital crew.
Speaker 6: Right now we're watering the streets trying to find some
Speaker 6: basketball fans. But uh, you know, right now, people are
Speaker 6: either working or somewhere where the air conditioning is working,
Speaker 6: unlike some of these arenas.
Speaker 1: Well. We'll see.
Speaker 2: Now you guys are in the American Airlines tomorrow night, right.
Speaker 6: So surely because the Wings don't, that AC is gonna work. Yes,
Speaker 6: fingers crossed. The Wings don't usually play there this season.
Speaker 6: They actually are going to move all their games there
Speaker 6: next year. But yeah, moving it to the building where
Speaker 6: the the MAVs and.
Speaker 4: The Stars in the NHL play.
Speaker 6: So yeah, it should be another huge crowd and uh
Speaker 6: and a fun game and hopefully cool.
Speaker 2: John, I appreciate you. Yeah, no doubt, John, I appreciate
Speaker 2: you right much. What we'll test that conspiracy theory tomorrow night.
Speaker 6: Pal, all right, I hope this wasn't on the Mount
Speaker 6: Rush more of awkward interviews for you.
Speaker 2: Nothing's going to compare to it after the day we've
Speaker 2: had so far, John.
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right?
Speaker 2: Hanging there, Manley, Yeah, John Nolan, the voice of the
Speaker 2: Fever on the Anymore Automative group hootline. Hey, Caleb, do
Speaker 2: you believe in the conspiracy theory that the heat's being
Speaker 2: turned up to salow them down offensively?
Speaker 4: It could it could be.
Speaker 2: That would be the ultimate test right there instead of
Speaker 2: the art American Airlines areno whatever that is in Dallas
Speaker 2: right there, the home of the Mavericks and the Stars.
Speaker 2: There's zero way that the AC is going to be
Speaker 2: broken and he's repaired, or the stadium is outdate and
Speaker 2: two crowded and you can't get it cooled down enough
Speaker 2: with so many people in there.
Speaker 1: Right, that's what three? Did you say?
Speaker 2: Three consecutive times on the road, it's felt like the
Speaker 2: heat has been.
Speaker 3: A there's I remember back in the I think it
Speaker 3: was twenty fourteen finals, the Spurs were playing the heat
Speaker 3: and they made Lebron cramp in Game one, So I don't.
Speaker 1: Know they did make Lebron cramp.
Speaker 2: That was down That was in San Antonio, right, and
Speaker 2: it was about one hundred and something outside, and they
Speaker 2: kept the heat up. So how did back in the
Speaker 2: day you watch all these Boston Celtics games in the
Speaker 2: finals and they're playing the Lakers, for example, and it's
Speaker 2: a one hundred and fifteen in there, and they're still
Speaker 2: playing and everything's all right. Weird stuff, it really is. Hey,
Speaker 2: I've got tickets to give away, let's do those right now.
Speaker 2: Kansas and Deep Purple that show's coming up on Monday
Speaker 2: at everwise Amphitheater downtown Indianapolis, number nine on the text

Speaker 2: I coming up at the top of the hour. We're
Speaker 2: live at the Indiana State Fair on what has been
Speaker 2: an incredibly enjoyable Governor's Cup so far, but a bit
Speaker 2: of an awkward day in the four o'clock hour on
Speaker 2: this show, it's all a part A day's a day's work,
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. With Caleb dan Vee here ninety
