Speaker 2: Hello, quick public service announcement for your audience. Yeah, something

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,439

Speaker 2: on ramps for seventy near the airport closed for the

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: arrival of JD. Van.

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: It's super cool that they've inconvenienced in entire cities so

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: that they can further rig the elections.

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 2: It's very nice of him.

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 3: He was actually asked about that moments ago. Kevin, do

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 3: you have that audio? Yeah, here's JD. Vance in the

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 3: state House. Beck Becam, it's walking down a.

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: Hall right now. Oh that's spelling radio.

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 3: Well, here comes.

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: Washington Indiana Registrict. What are you go tell the governor

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: of mister West President And no answer? Go away. Feels

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: like I just listened to Abdual show on the weekend.

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 2: There I'm editing at audio where you don't know what's

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: going to happen.

22
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So nothing says transparency like running behind some closed

23
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: doors to talk about how you're going to make it

24
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: more rigged a vote in the state of Indiana. That's

25
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: just brilliant.

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: But at the same time, like, yes, I would have

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: answered it, but I'm pompous and I'm over the top,

28
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: Like if he stopped to answer every single person that

29
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: yelled a question out at him.

30
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: Sure, but it's the fact that they're going behind some

31
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: tarped allegedly some tarped off areas. Like, if you're going

32
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: to talk about how you're going to affect seven million people,

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: have the conversation out in front of everybody, don't go

34
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: behind some closed door and come up with your new

35
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: goofy little map to rig it in favor of your

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: political party, because y'all can't win elections based on governing competently.

37
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: Tell us how you're going to screw us out in public.

38
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: So you're saying that you had a difficult time getting

39
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: into work today.

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: Because of that. So seventy over by Sam Jones, the

41
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: artist formerly known as Airport Expressway shut down, Like you

42
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: couldn't even get it right. So all right, fine, So

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: I go down a little bit further because I'm Southwest

44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: side and I hit Washington Street. It's like, okay, I'll

45
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: take Washington Street in you get to a point to

46
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: Washington Street where road closed a head due to construction. Well,

47
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: son of it.

48
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: You know what?

49
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: So now I got a backtrack. Come all the way back,

50
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: pass all the exits that I'm not allowed to get on,

51
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: and find an alternative way downtown. Cases. Yeah, it's really

52
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: easy to get downtown right now.

53
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: Remember when living used to be easy?

54
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 2: I made This construction right now is so ridiculous. I've

55
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: lived in Indye my whole life. I'm a lifer here.

56
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: I've never seen so many places under construction at once

57
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: where there's no hope of it getting done anytime soon.

58
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: Like Illinois Street is totally shut down because of government

59
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: funded hotel. But at least they're working on that. That

60
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: thing's going up like a rocket ship. Look at the

61
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: monument out here. Well you can't rob because you refuse

62
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 2: to put the window up. But oh I put the

63
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: American flag up.

64
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: What a horrible person that I hang our nation's colors down?

65
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: Me not why you do it? You want the perfect

66
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: lighting on your face because you want all the attentions. Actually,

67
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: Carl does it all.

68
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: Carl's really in charge of all of that. And well

69
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: we'd be worse off without Carl anyway, go ahead, Sorry, but.

70
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: This damn thing's been under construction for like three years. Yes,

71
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: there's nobody ever working. It's like a running joke we

72
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: have in the afternoon. We get here at three o'clock.

73
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: Look out the window. It's a beautiful, partly cloudy, seventy

74
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 2: nine degree day, and there's nobody out there working. Yeah.

75
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Somebody told me this years ago in a government meeting

76
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: about traffic. They said, the goal of anything you're doing,

77
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: as it relates, whether it's speed limit signs or signs

78
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: of businesses or whatever, is to keep the traffic moving

79
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: because as long as you're moving, even if it's at

80
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: five miles an hour, there's always hope. As a motorist,

81
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: you see road rage when there's no hope of movement.

82
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: And they have created a level of despair and hopelessness

83
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: in downtown to Indianapolis, the likes I have never seen before.

84
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: Well, look who the mayor is, right, and you've said

85
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: this before, Rob, The job of a mayor and theory

86
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: is pretty simple, right. You keep your roads and your

87
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: infrastructure taken care of. You make sure the trash gets

88
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: picked up on a timely basis, and no scandals, no embarrassment.

89
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: We're oh for three on the boss Hawk set there

90
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: because the trash in my neighborhood, we're lucky if it

91
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: gets picked up on a Friday.

92
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: The four things that a mayor is supposed to be

93
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: responsible for. Everything else is just shenanigans. You judge your

94
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: mayor based on these these four things. You can throw

95
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: in the scandals as the fifth food. You got the roads,

96
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: how the road's doing now? Greatful?

97
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: You got?

98
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: You got the snow, the snow removal, the not good?

99
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: You got the public safety. You're feeling safe downtown these days?

100
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: Record homicides under Joe Hawks?

101
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: And then and then the trash. And I can't speak

102
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: to the trash, but you have experience with the trash.

103
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: How is the trash not as good as the crime? Oh?

104
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: So there you go. It's azero for four. What do

105
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: they call that the golden sombrero? And a major league

106
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: baseball player goes oh for four with four strikeouts, It's

107
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: called the golden sombrero. Joe Hawks, that is the golden

108
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: sombrero of mayor's Now you.

109
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: Had mentioned Washington Street, and that's the street I would

110
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: typically take to get from my house to the radio station.

111
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: Many detours under construction.

112
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 2: Okay, so I.

113
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: Got to go a different route and take Michigan Now

114
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 3: to get into work, and of course everybody is taking

115
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: the detour, so there's a huge backup. Yesterday on my

116
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: Windo work, I landed right on the train tracks and

117
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 3: I sat there and I looked both ways.

118
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: This is not good. This is not good. I'm gonna

119
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: be somebody show prepped here. I really hope these kind

120
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: of start moving. I've always said when my time comes,

121
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: what it is time for me to meet my maker.

122
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: I hope it's such a wacky, crazy death that i'm

123
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: somebody's show prep. I want to pay it forward for

124
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: all the years that I've had ridiculous stories given to me.

125
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: I want to be somebody's ridiculous street. Would you do

126
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: it naked? So at least you can due to the news.

127
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: That's me.

128
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: Okay, So you got your cold shirt on the Colts

129
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: kick off the preseason tonight.

130
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: Are you excited about the Colts?

131
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: Give me an honest assessment of the team this year?

132
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: Not good. I placed a future bet that the Colts

133
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: would finish third in the division. I got plus money

134
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 2: on that plus two point fifty for them to finish

135
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: in third place.

136
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: So they got to beat one of the teams but

137
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: lose to two others.

138
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: Right, so I feel like the Texans will be one Yep.

139
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: The Jags, if healthy, are two wow, followed by the

140
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: Colts and then the Titans with a rookie quarterback. So

141
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: if the Colts finish in third place in the AFC South,

142
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: as a Colts fan, not gonna like it, but as

143
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: a gambling degenerate, I'm gonna make some money.

144
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: So you got no faith obviously in Richardson and then

145
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: no faith in the in the in the backup Daniel Jones,

146
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: the high priced guy they brought in to be the.

147
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: Back My options are a guy that tapped out of

148
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: a game because he was tired and a guy that

149
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: couldn't start for the Giants. This is where my fandom

150
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 2: has met across roads, right like man in the past,

151
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: be so excited for tonight, Hey, first Colts game. I

152
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: know it's preseason garbage, but at least for the first

153
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: ten minutes, I'm gonna be excited. I think maybe I'm

154
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: still a little heartbroken from the Pacers, like the Game

155
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: seven with the injury and the way that it happened

156
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: hasn't set well with me. I'm having a hard time

157
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: getting over this breakup. But uh man, yeah, I'm just

158
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: not feeling this quarterback situation. I think it's the worst

159
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: quarterback room in the league. And keep in mind the.

160
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: League has the Cleveland Browns on it, so you're you

161
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: have no faith that that's just gonna click with this

162
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: dude this year, with all these tools we've heard about

163
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: Richardson and blah blah blah, you have no faith that

164
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: this is this is the year.

165
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: I don't now. I hope he proves me wrong. If

166
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: he proves me wrong, I will come on here and say, hey,

167
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: I was wrong.

168
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: Man.

169
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: The Richardson kid figured it out. But I follow a

170
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: lot of SEC football. I'm a falls guy. Richardson could

171
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: not pass in college. He's got a cannon for an arm.

172
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: He'll throw the deep ball to Alec Peers and you

173
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: guys are gonna love it. But he can't move the

174
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: chains on third down. He can't read a defense. He

175
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: can't make the basic throws, at least he can't as

176
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: of his entire college through pro career so far.

177
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: What are we doing this afternoon?

178
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: What's going on, and it is Bring the Heat Thursday

179
