1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: It is a gorgeous friday. We are, in fact, you've 2 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: been working for the weekend all week right, it's here. 3 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: Start it now, noon on a Friday. Start it now. 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: I'm giving you permission. I have no ability oversight of 5 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: what you do. But what the hell, it's Friday, it's noon. 6 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: Let's go, right, It's a gorgeous day, and it's going 7 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: to be a great weekend. You've got Indiana and Illinois 8 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: under the lights at Memorial Stadium. You've got Purdue and 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: Notre Dame taking place up in South Bend. Apparently somebody 10 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: was mad at the way that I pronounced the schools. 11 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: That's cool. That's three point thirty tomorrow twenty five and 12 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: a half point spread. Prdue is going to cover that. 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: By the way. You've got the Colts and the Tennessee 14 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: Titans down in the home of the Batchslorette parties, Nashville, Tennessee. Whoo, 15 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: that constant noise from sought off the top convertible made 16 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: school buses all around Nashville. And you also have the 17 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: thing with which and I understand it, and I ask 18 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: for you to hear me out here. I mean, it's 19 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: a sports talk radio program. So I don't know whether 20 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: the way you would ingest it, to be honest with you, 21 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: other than to hear this, but I get it during 22 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: the NFL season and we get all of the research, 23 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: We have all of the metrics, and we can we 24 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: can look at the show the next day and we 25 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: can track how many people are listening and where they 26 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: are turning away to. And you know, it's like when 27 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: people say that you know this or that is the 28 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: number one show in town, or this or that is 29 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: the show that slides. You know, we know, we know 30 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: the truths, we know the reality, and I know what sells. 31 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: This is a delicatessen. This is a delicatessen. I'm running 32 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: Queries delicatessen, and I am well aware that nine out 33 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: of ten people that walk through the door that delicatessen 34 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: from twelve until three they want their ham and turkey. 35 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: And ham and turkey is the National Football League. 36 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: It's Jake Query and Eddie Garrison. Jake, that is ham 37 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: and turkey. 38 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: That's right. No, we are actually your mayonnaise. What excuse 39 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: me for others an acquired taste, excuse me. But the 40 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: reality is that when you do what we do for 41 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: a living, is this another fat joke, and no, no, 42 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: it's a I have yet to warm to a joke. 43 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: When you're basking Robbins or your Shapiro's, you are well 44 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: aware of what sells most, and you're well aware that 45 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: you better have. You might be the biggest lover of 46 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: pistachio ice cream on the planet, you might be the 47 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: biggest lover of pastrami on the planet. But if your 48 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: customers are asking for flavors that are in variation of that, 49 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: you better stock it or else. At the very least, 50 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: you're going to end up with an ice cream store 51 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: or a delicatessen where you've got plenty of time to 52 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: sit around and eat your favorite because nobody else is 53 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: walking through that door. And I totally understand when it 54 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: comes to football season that the National Football League and 55 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts are exactly the ham and Turkey. It's 56 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: what nine out of ten people walking through that door 57 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: want to hear about. And I love that because I 58 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: love the NFL, and I love the fact that it 59 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: affords us the opportunity to collectively come together is a city, 60 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: and I love the fact that it puts the city 61 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: in spotlight when there are primetime games I love all 62 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: of it, and I love the fact that the Colts 63 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: are a story right now, a national story. And I 64 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: thought about it last night because I'm watching the Buffalo 65 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: Bills and the Miami Dolphins, and as I'm watching it, 66 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, for what reason, locally speaking would 67 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: I have interest in the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolph. Well, 68 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: I guess I want Buffalo to win this game because 69 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: I think the Bills are going to win their division regardless, 70 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: so they may as well be the team that is 71 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: keeping wild card potential teams totally at bay, because while 72 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: I think the Colts are in very good position here 73 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: at the outset in terms of their division, there is 74 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: still the possibility that the wild card may be their 75 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: entry into the postseason a million years from now, weeks 76 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: from now. But if that's the case, you've got to 77 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: start looking at other teams that are not going to 78 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: be clear divisional winners, and you don't want bid Steelers. 79 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: This is the NCAA Tournament selection time, Indiana you know 80 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: is going to be or Purdue or whoever your butler 81 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: is going to be the team that is looking to 82 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: get in that nine seed range. You've got to start 83 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: making sure. If Kansas is playing Missouri and Missouri's a 84 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: nine range team, you want Kansas to win that game 85 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: because they're going to get in anyway. And that's how 86 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: you look at that game last night. But you also 87 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: look at it because the Colts eviscerated the Miami Dolphins 88 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: and Buffalo is one of the best teams we think 89 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: in the league. And yet that was a game last night, 90 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: and that gives you more reason of optimism for the Colts. 91 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: The reason I say all of this is because I'm 92 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: talking your ham, I'm talking your turkey. If I'm talking 93 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: about the Buffalo Bills, I'm talking your croissant. Part of 94 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: what you need or you want when you come into 95 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: my deli, And I'm going to start out here and 96 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about pastrami because I know that 97 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: not everybody that comes into my delicatessen wants pastrami. But 98 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: it's on special today and I want you to just 99 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: have a small sample of it. I want you to 100 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: have a sample of it because I understand and we 101 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 1: both know when you walk in that door, you want turkey, 102 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: and I'm about to give you turkey. 103 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: What about capacola? 104 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, be more like the Capacola would be more like 105 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: my Clemson football conversation. It's there, we know it's there. 106 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: I like it, right, but you're super excited when you 107 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: meet somebody else that likes it. Pepperoni the same. So 108 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: here's what I'm going to give you as the sample, 109 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: and I'm going to ask that you enjoy it while 110 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: you know that we're preparing your turkey sandwich. This city, 111 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: in this market, I think people know that I love Indianapolis, 112 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: and I love when the city is represented correctly, properly, 113 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: when there is reason for people to be proud of 114 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: who we are and what we are. And in the 115 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: last year, we have seen that in Sport. And one 116 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: of the things that I am the most proud of, 117 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: one of the things that I am the most thankful for, 118 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: is the way that this city collectively comes together when 119 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: it's most needed, and Sport is a big part of that. 120 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: We are right now and I think most people know this. 121 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: We have talked about it. I don't need to go 122 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: any further into it, just because people are aware of it. 123 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: We have always been a country that is of divisive thought, 124 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: independent thought, different than the independent thought of your neighbor 125 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: and etc. But now it is so much more pronounced 126 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: due to social media, due to different things. You could 127 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: say that it's more divisive now I think it's more 128 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: so just that our independence is pronounced versus other people. 129 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: And you now know when you see everybody what makes 130 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: them different than you, and we at times are deviating 131 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: from embracing what it is that instead makes us common 132 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: with one another. And in this town, one of the 133 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: things that made us common was we put all of 134 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: our differences aside during the Pacers rally. And when the 135 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: Pacers made their run and their miraculous finishes and they're 136 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: getting one half away from winning the NBA title, it 137 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,559 Speaker 1: was awesome in all areas because people in this town, 138 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: no matter their socioeconomic background, no matter their theological background, 139 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: no matter their political background, no matter the neighborhood they 140 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: were from, everybody came together and were walking down the 141 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: street like yes, sirs, and we were one and it 142 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: was wonderful. And you always, I think, with sport, are 143 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: chasing that high of that camaraderie and that feeling that 144 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: you get, that self worth that you get by knowing 145 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: that you live in a place that you can be 146 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: proud of. And we really did. I think in places 147 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: that nobody talked about at cocktail parties have hesitation or 148 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: wonder or curiosity or concern that we were going to 149 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: have to put that all on the shelf. Because Tyrese 150 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: Haliburton was out for a year, Myles Turner went to Milwaukee, 151 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: and the Colts were not expected to have a great year. 152 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: We were mourning the loss of their owner, a philanthropic 153 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: pillar of this town. We were mourning the loss of 154 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: Forrest Lucas, a philanthropic pillar of this town. And we 155 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: were looking at a team that was using a cast 156 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: off quarterback from the New York Giants to overtake and 157 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: run the franchise, and lo and behold, they get out 158 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: to win number one over Miami. They get out to 159 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: win number two. Then by you know, after that Miami 160 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: game where we were like, okay, but Miami might actually 161 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: be terrible, and then the Denver game. Yeah they got 162 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: a gift. They got a gift there at the end, 163 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: But don't look at gift towards or a gift Bronco 164 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: in the mouth. Take two and zero, and people now 165 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: are starting to become cautiously optimistic about the Colts, and 166 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: we're starting to believe that, in fact, we might have 167 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: an autumn or a winner that continues this good nature 168 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: feel about ourselves. But we don't need to wait until 169 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: then because of the PISTROMI that I have to offer 170 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: you while you wait your turkey sandwich. And that's this. 171 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: I saw something last night that is why sport is 172 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: so wonderful. I turned on the Indiana Fever game. I 173 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: actually was at dinner last night and the Fever game 174 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: was on, and after I spent thirty minutes lamenting the 175 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: fact that that dark painted court in Atlanta in the 176 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: weird television lighting that they have on ESPN combined to 177 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: make it look like I was watching in television in 178 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three, and it was really difficult to see 179 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: what was going on. Once I got done with that 180 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: and put on like three D glasses and pretended I 181 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: was watching Avatar, I was able to enjoy the game, 182 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: and it felt for the most part of that game 183 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: like Atlanta and the Dream were about to make the 184 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: Fever wake up and their dream was going to be 185 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: over for the year. And every time that the Fever 186 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: would get it close, Atlanta would go on a run 187 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: point in the fourth quarter and it was, I believe 188 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: it was. There was this. It was a seven point 189 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: game going into the half, and then I think the 190 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: Fever might have cut it to five or two at 191 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: the half, I can't remember, but but Atlanta very quickly 192 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: then got that like five to seven point cushion again. 193 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: And as I was watching it, I was thinking, this 194 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: just feels like one of those tigers by the tail 195 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: that you never totally grasp and get a hold of. 196 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: And the Fever at one point tied the game, and 197 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: Atlanta immediately went on a five to nothing run hit 198 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: a three, went back up five immediately, and I turned 199 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: around to Shane and I said, I think it's over. 200 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: And that was with like a little over six minutes left. 201 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: The Fever cut the lead to two. With six minutes 202 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: and six seconds left, the score in that game was 203 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: eighty to seventy eight for presumably two and a half months. 204 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: In all actuality, it was eighty to seventy eight for 205 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: I've got to think at what point somebody then scored 206 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: another basket, but it was eighty to seventy eight, and 207 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: then eventually the Fever tight it with three twenty one left, 208 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: so all nearly three minutes it was eighty seventy eight 209 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: and then the fever tighten. But during that stretch of 210 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: doldrum where Indiana couldn't get a basket, there was a 211 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: lid on the basket. They couldn't get it. They couldn't 212 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: get over that hump. And with four minutes and twenty 213 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: six seconds left to go and that game last night, 214 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: after the fever, at that point had been trying for 215 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: probably four possessions, four empty possessions, and playing defensively. And 216 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: a lot of times when you see a team that 217 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: has to work that hard defensively, the pendulum swings back 218 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: the other way because the fatigue kicks in because you 219 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: have been working so hard defensively. But I'm watching this 220 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking about the fact that if they lose, 221 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: they go home, and if they win, they are in 222 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: one of the four teams left in the WNBA playoffs. 223 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking about the injuries this year, and I'm 224 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: thinking about that Caitlin Clark is out, and I'm thinking 225 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: about that, so Cunningham's out. I'm thinking about the fact 226 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: that Aaron McDonald goes down and every player they brought 227 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: in seemingly two weeks after coming in is then all 228 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: of a sudden injured and out for the year, and 229 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: Alijah Boston is trying to keep them alive, and Lexi 230 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: Hole's hitting shots in Kelsey Mitchell's being Kelsey Mitchell and 231 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: Stephanie White's on the sidelines, and She's at one point 232 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: yelling out repeatedly on a defensive set to get them 233 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: to buy in. And you can tell that they're doing 234 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: everything they can to cling on to this fact that 235 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: they're within a basket of Atlanta, and with four to 236 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: twenty six to go in the game, from what I 237 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: could tell on that dark screen, the ball trickles out 238 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: of bounds off of an Atlanta player right in front 239 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: of the Fever bench, and the Fever bench, who have 240 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: seen multiple and repeated empty possessions for their offense, jumped 241 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: up like Todd Meyer, not the one we work with, 242 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: but the one from oshcost, Wisconsin that played in Indiana, 243 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: jumping with both arms up and his left kicked to 244 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: the side. When Keith Smart hits that shot in nineteen 245 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: eighty seven, they jumped up the way the rest of 246 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: the team did in New York when Tyrese Haliburton's tear 247 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: drop finally fell through after nearly hitting the sky. Not 248 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: tear drop, but I'm saying a tear drop from the 249 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: sky when it bounced off the back of the rim 250 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: and went through with that shot he hit to force overtime. 251 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: In Game one, when the Pacers went on to win, 252 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: they erupted, did that bench like the crowd did when 253 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: the Pacers were able to beat Milwaukee on that miracle 254 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: four point play, And they did that, and I looked 255 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: at Atlanta and I said to myself, this game's over. 256 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: This game's over, because the Indiana Fever players in that 257 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: moment saw the result of their resiliency, their resiliency, not 258 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: just as a franchise and having to overcome injury after 259 00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: injury after injury, their resiliency in this game of being 260 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: down one game, love coming back winning at home, having 261 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: to go back on the road win another one to 262 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: try to advance from there. The resiliency that was taking 263 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: place in that game, and the fact that in that moment, 264 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: instead of looking like there was a weight off their 265 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: shoulders by getting that turnover, that bench erupted in a 266 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: way that it was like they knew they were going 267 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: to win that game, and they scored and they still 268 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: got down again. But then they scored the last seven 269 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: points in that game and they win, and I'm watching 270 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: it and I'm saying to myself, this is nothing more 271 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: than a Pastrami sample for our radio listening audience. Because 272 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: they want their turkey of hearing about the Colts, they 273 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: want their ham of hearing about the NFL, and they 274 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: want their croissants of hearing about college football and Notre 275 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: Dame Perdue and Indiana Illinois. And that's why they tune 276 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: in to the radio on a Friday. But I thought 277 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: to myself, in a time when we as a group 278 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: and as a society and as a people most need camaraderie, 279 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: here it is for you once again. Sport in this 280 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: town is providing you reason to feel good. It's providing 281 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: you reason to be proud, and it's providing all of 282 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: us reason to collectively come together for a common cause, 283 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: to root for a team whose jersey says why not Indiana. 284 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: And so the fever advanced, and they did so in 285 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: completely encapsulating not only what has made them unique this 286 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: year as a team, but what makes this city so 287 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: great because of the fact that we come together when 288 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: teams need it, and sport is our unifying bond. And 289 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: so it is a pleasure and once again a privilege 290 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: and an honor today to talk to you about sports 291 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: for the next three hours. And I give a ton 292 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: of credit to the Indiana Fever for the way they 293 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: won that game last night, because I know a lot 294 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: of you probably didn't watch it. A lot of you 295 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: probably are like, I can't believe on a Friday, on 296 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: a football Friday, that's what this guy's talking about. And 297 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: I get it, which is why we will talk predominantly 298 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: about football for the rest of the show. But Debbie 299 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,479 Speaker 1: Antonelli is going to join us on the program today 300 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about what happened last night, 301 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,479 Speaker 1: and then we get back into every variety of turkey 302 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: that you want, the oven roasted, the mesquite the smoked, 303 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: the plane with nothing in it, with no sodium atted 304 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: we got it all. Because Tom Noy's going to join 305 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: us on the program to talk about Notre Dame. They 306 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: have Purdue coming up. It's a twenty five and a 307 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: half point spread in that game. Kyle Nett and Rip, 308 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: our friend from the Indianapolis Star, is going to join 309 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,719 Speaker 1: us on the program. We'll talk high school football, big games, tonight. 310 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: I love Friday night lights in Indiana, and then Kevin 311 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: Bowen's going to join us at two o'clock and we 312 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: will get the latest as we will talk about over 313 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: the course of the day on the Colts, which we'll 314 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: get to now as they get set for the Tennessee Titans. 315 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: Injury report, Eddie, reality is this The Colts look pretty 316 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,959 Speaker 1: darn good and their injury report. Because we were concerned 317 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: about Tyler Warren, we were concerned about Liatu Latu. Sure 318 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: there is still concerned anytime that a player is in 319 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: concussion protocol, as we have with Ward, But right now 320 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: it looks like the Colts are trending in the right 321 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: direction in terms of their health report card YEP. 322 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 2: In terms of yesterday's practice report, Josh Downs full participant, 323 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 2: layout to Latsu full participant, Tyler Goodson full participant, Tavarius 324 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 2: Ward full participant. All those players out there again today 325 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 2: for the Indianapolis Colts.

In the National Football League. 329 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: There are no givens in the NFL any given Sunday, Right, 330 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: what's the NFL staying for? Not for long? Now? The 331 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: not for long mantra usually means, yeah, if you are 332 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: a quarterback that can't learn a system, you're not going 333 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: to be a starter for long. You're a quarterback that 334 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: can't pick up a blitz in a preseason game against Baltimore, 335 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: your finger's not going to stay in play for long. 336 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 3: You are a. 337 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 1: Defensive back that gets signed for a team to go 338 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: play in a game in London, and instead you take 339 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: the train on Saturday night to go to Paris and 340 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: buy yourself a bunch of clothing without reading your playbook, 341 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: and then you become absolutely a toasted English muffin. Not 342 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: for long. And the other thing that's not for long 343 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL is exactly who you are as a team. Sure, 344 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: there are teams that absolutely from wired to wire are unbelievable. 345 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: The last time the Colts started two and oh two 346 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: thousand and nine, that team went fourteen to Oh you 347 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: knew Wired to wire they were going to be unbelievable. 348 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,239 Speaker 1: They get to the super Bowl and then dare I 349 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: say on sidekick? But still that team was good the 350 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: entire season. There have been Colts teams that have started 351 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: out and you wondered what the heck was going on? 352 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: But they didn't stay bad for long because guys got healthy, 353 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: they started to find rhythm. They started to believe the 354 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: bursa sack healed itself, or Ted Marshabrota says letter rip, 355 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: and before you know it, you're on a magic carpet ride. 356 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: Those things happen too with this particular team. They're two 357 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: and oh, and you say to yourself, they should start 358 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: three and oh does Tennessee scare anybody? Does? Do the 359 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: Titans scare anybody? But not for long. You can't get 360 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: too high on it because you look at last night 361 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: and the fact that you know, I turn over and 362 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: I'm just under the assumption that as soon as I 363 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: turn over to Amazon Prime that the Bills are going 364 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: to be up twenty one to three in the second quarter. 365 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: And it's over, and I turn it on, and I'm like, wait, 366 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: this a tie game? Late now, Buffalo in the game. 367 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: But Miami did not look completely incompetent. Miami did not 368 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: look completely neutered. And so then you say to yourself, 369 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: wait a minute, is this the same team that the 370 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: Colts completely. Miami was never in that game against the 371 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Yet here's Miami in Buffalo and they're hanging 372 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: around against a team that many believe is the favorite 373 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: to win the conference. Does that mean good news for 374 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: the Colts or does it mean not for long? That 375 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: a team that might have been terrible in week one 376 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: actually found something because they have a week to turn 377 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: things around or two weeks to turn things around, and 378 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: something started working. Point being, while it looks on paper 379 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: like an automatic beta complee that the Colts are going 380 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 1: to go down and take care of business in Tennessee 381 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: and start three to ohero and then the Sugarplum fairies 382 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: really start dancing in your head partially because that division 383 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Houston, Tennessee. Yeah okay, but partially for those reasons 384 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: you think to yourself, you try not to get ahead, 385 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: but you just don't know, is my point. I think 386 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: they go down Eddie, would you agree? But all account 387 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: they go down there, and even if they simply almost 388 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: just tiptoe their way through and dodge fifteen thousand Batchelorette 389 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: parties on the way, they're going to be in good shape. 390 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, as long as they pass the woor girls, 391 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 2: they'll be fine, and I get distracted. 392 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: You know, there's that There's that one I believe it's 393 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: is it Tootsiesus the bar down there, Yeah, the big 394 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: one right across from the arena. 395 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 396 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: And they got a guy that walks around on Broadway 397 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: with a pet goat And then if you walk up 398 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: the pet the goat, he's like five bucks. 399 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 4: What. 400 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: There's all kinds of distractions down there in Nashville, but 401 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: I don't think that any of them are inside the 402 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: walls of Nissan Stadium. But you got to go down 403 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: and play the game. 404 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 2: Look, divisional games are always weird too, Like Spread last 405 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,959 Speaker 2: night in that game was I think closed out eleven 406 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: and a half, and for a while there it looked 407 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 2: like Maimi was gonna be able to win it. They 408 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 2: were sure as hell able to cover that eleven and 409 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 2: a half. Divisional games get weeo, Jake, You never know 410 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 2: what could happen, especially when you're on the road. That's true, 411 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: it's your first road game of the year. 412 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. I mean there's no question 413 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: about that. Road games are always tough, but road games 414 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: are always that much more special when you win one 415 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,959 Speaker 1: and that happened last night. As I just talked about, 416 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: we're going to go back one more time for the 417 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: PASTROMI because I do want to discuss what took place 418 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: last night, because I think it was special. I think 419 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: it was unique and the fever getting that win last night. 420 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 1: And Debbie Antonelli is going to join us on the 421 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: other side, and to one member of the company, we 422 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: have a very special we have an excused absence from 423 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: the company today and the special congratulations to extend within 424 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: the company. I'll explain that as well. Next Perdue and 425 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: Notre Dame coming up tomorrow. Thirty minutes from now, we're 426 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: going to go up to South Bend talk about that. 427 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 1: We will get back into the Colts and Titans at 428 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: about fifteen as well as Eddie or you're a WrestleMania guy. Nope, 429 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: did I? Am I correct in saying that WrestleMania is 430 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: back in Indy. 431 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 2: I don't even know, Jake, I don't know when. 432 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: That takes place. John Cena and I thought John Sena 433 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: has retired like forty six times. 434 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 2: I thought so as well. Am I wrong in that 435 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 2: I don't know? 436 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: Joining me now on the program and I'm sure she's 437 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: thrilled to be doing so based on that incredulous comment 438 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: that we just had about wrestling. Debbie Antonelli is a 439 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: WNBA analyst, has worked many a Fever game, and last 440 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: night the Fever advancing by feeding the Atlanta Dream closing 441 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: on a seven nothing run. Debbie, I thought last night, 442 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: and I want your thought on this, there was a 443 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: about a three and a half minute period, just under 444 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: three minutes actually, period where the Fever, who had just 445 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: been chipping away and chipping away and chipping away, that 446 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: got it down to two points. It was eighty to 447 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: seventy eight for seemingly what felt like a month and 448 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: a half. But I thought that the resiliency that they 449 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,959 Speaker 1: showed not only did to continue to get stops, but 450 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: to go offensively when there was a lid on the 451 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: basket for a while there and then tie the ballgame. 452 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: I just looked at it and I thought to myself, 453 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: they are going to win this game, because that is 454 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: the nature and the overall mentality of this team, with 455 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: everything they've been through this year. Did that last five 456 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: to seven minutes encapsulate their season? 457 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 5: I think that's so well put, Jake. This is clearly 458 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 5: used it over and over. A resilient group, you're. 459 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 6: Gonna face adversity at some point, whether it's a turnover 460 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 6: or something larger like the Fever. 461 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 5: Have dealt with all season with injuries. 462 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 6: It just speaks to the incredible job, the character of 463 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 6: the individual, and that while other teams may appear to 464 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 6: be more talented, there doesn't seem to be anybody more connected. 465 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:27,719 Speaker 6: And sometimes that communication, that belief, that willingness. 466 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 5: To sacrifice, whatever it might. 467 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 6: Be inside a single possession or on a larger scale 468 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 6: in preparation. 469 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 7: The Fever have it. 470 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 6: They've checked all the boxes and Stephanie White has done 471 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 6: a hell of a job coaching this group. 472 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: You know, Debbie, It's interesting because I brought this up 473 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: to Stephanie White and she I'm not gonna say she 474 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: papooed it, but I understand from a coaching standpoint, she 475 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: still has navigation to do right. So I want your 476 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: thought on this. I was curious whether or not when 477 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: you look at what the have been through this year 478 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,239 Speaker 1: from an attrition standpoint and having to get you know, 479 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: sign players that were not on the roster at the 480 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: beginning of the year, and then even those players get 481 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: hurt and you're continuing to add to the roster over 482 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: the course of the season. So you have players on 483 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: your roster that they have to have an individual resiliency 484 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: just to be playing this year. So does that not 485 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: then kind of carry into the team itself because of 486 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: the fact that it's one thing to sell overcoming adversity, 487 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: it's another thing to put players on the floor that 488 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: had to do that just to be on the roster 489 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: within the last month. Doesn't that seem to kind of 490 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: carry over? 491 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 5: I don't think there's any question. 492 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 6: Conceptually, most teams run something very similar with a tweak 493 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 6: or change, maybe it's a rhythm or an acceleration at 494 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 6: certain point during certain sets. But having a group of players, 495 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 6: and this really speaks to the larger picture of. 496 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 5: Where the women's game is. The players that have come. 497 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 7: In are plug and play and. 498 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 5: Ready to go. 499 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 6: Conceptually, they've been at places where people run the same thing. 500 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 6: The vernacular might be a little different, and like I said, 501 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,360 Speaker 6: the pace of the rhythm might be a little different. 502 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 7: But to have a group of players come in and. 503 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 6: Say, you know, we're gonna run this pin down action 504 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 6: for Kelsey Mitchell and it's one of the best actions. 505 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 6: We run and everybody goes, yeah, we get it because 506 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 6: we've been watching. We're ready, we stay ready, we know 507 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 6: what it's going to require, and we understand. 508 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 5: But that speaks to a higher level. 509 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 6: Of character or purpose of people on a second chance, 510 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 6: knowing that. 511 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 5: This is their livelihood. 512 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 7: They want to play and they want to stay. 513 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 5: And in order to do. 514 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 6: That, you got to play your role to the best 515 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 6: of your ability. And they have found the right characters 516 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 6: to be able to plug. 517 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 7: In and do that. 518 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 6: It's really an exceptional job from the front office all 519 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,719 Speaker 6: the way through stephanieater staff and to each individual player 520 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 6: to be ready when their number is called. 521 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: Debbie Antonelli is our guests. She, of course a WNBA analysts. 522 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: You see on a lot of the Indiana Fever games 523 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: over the course of the regular season, Fever advancing by 524 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 1: winning last night in Atlanta. They will now take on 525 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, one of the best teams in the WNBA, 526 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: in the semi finals. Debbie last night at periods of 527 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: that game, and I think this is true at times 528 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: with the Fever, and I want your thought on it. 529 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: I understand their lightning in a bottle of nature in 530 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: particular of their three point shooting, which which eluded them 531 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: in game number one. But do they go through periods 532 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: where they become too perimeter reliant and not balanced enough offensively. 533 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 6: I think there are certain combinations on the floor that 534 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 6: might be better defensively, and then you simplify. 535 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 5: What you're doing offensively. 536 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 6: I think there's combinations that Stephanie puts on the floor 537 00:29:58,960 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 6: that give them. 538 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 5: A accelerated pace. 539 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 7: I'm a big believer in constantly. 540 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 5: Changing the rhythm of the game. 541 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 6: I do think getting a piece of the paint protecting 542 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 6: the paint. You know, there's three levels to defense. It's 543 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 6: fall pressure, it's protecting inside out, and then it's. 544 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 5: The ability to have some rim protection. 545 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 6: I do think Stephanie has some interchangeable parts. There are 546 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 6: players that during times of the game may leak to 547 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 6: the perimeter more than their physical team. 548 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 5: By nature. 549 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 6: Aliah Boss is not afraid to get in their bang. 550 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 6: Natasha Howard is going to get in there and bang. 551 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 6: But when Prey her turners on the floor, it might 552 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 6: have a little bit of a different look. 553 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 7: You know, Natasha has that combinations. 554 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 5: To slash, so playing through. 555 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 6: The paint, getting a piece of the paint, spraying it 556 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 6: once you get it. 557 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 5: To the paint. 558 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 6: There are a lot of ways that you've got to 559 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 6: use the interior part of your offense to be able 560 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 6: to set up your perimeter game. 561 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 5: And I think there is. 562 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 6: A balance to that, and I think it's predicated on 563 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 6: personnel and what Stephanie thinks she needs. 564 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 5: At the time. 565 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: Debbie. My favorite pacer, and I've talked about this on 566 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: the show, my favorite pacer is aaron NEI Smith. And 567 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. I love aaron Ne Smith because 568 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: he'll guard. He's not worried about who he has to guard. 569 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: But more importantly, he can give you twenty without having 570 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: to orchestrate plays to get him twenty. He is perfectly 571 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: comfortable and capable whatever role you need from him offensively, 572 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: he accepts, no matter how large nor how minimalized that 573 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: role seemingly is within the flow of an offense. And 574 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: I love I think every team needs players like that. 575 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: Who is the Fever's aaron Nie Smith? 576 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 5: Yeah? 577 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 7: I love aaron Nesmith too because he's a Charleston kid. 578 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: I did know that you got South Carolina bias, right. 579 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, I got a little bias too. Yes, I think 580 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 6: he's a wonderful young man. He's a hard worker. He's 581 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 6: got the character of a champion. We saw that on 582 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 6: display this year. Based on the way you described him, Jake, 583 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 6: I think Lexi Hall is a person for the Indiana fever. 584 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 5: She doesn't get enough credit for the role that she plays. 585 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 6: She's a knockdown three point shooter. She's not shot it 586 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 6: well right now. Typically she's at one point during the 587 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 6: season because I was tracking this, she was the best. 588 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 5: Corner three point shooter. 589 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 7: She had made the most. 590 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 6: But defensively she can guard. She gets skinny over the top. 591 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 5: She's excellent at top. 592 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 7: Blocking to disrupt their rhythm. 593 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 6: I don't think she gets enough credit defensively for the 594 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 6: role that she plays, and I think she's that kind 595 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 6: of player for Indiana right now. And I think Sophie 596 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 6: Cunningham is that player when she comes back as well. 597 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: Debbie. I wanted to touch on one thing while I 598 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: have you here that relates to the fever, but not 599 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: necessarily directly to the fever, and that's this as I 600 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: was watching that game last night, and I mentioned the 601 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: resiliency factor with the Indiana fever and how I think 602 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: fans should be happy or proud of that that it 603 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: represents Indianapolis, and we saw it with the Pacers and 604 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: now with the Colts in athletics in general, in sports, 605 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,719 Speaker 1: you were an athlete, you know you played collegiately. You 606 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: have players on the floor that when you're away from 607 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: the floor, you realize, you know, when I didn't know 608 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: that guy or that gal before we were teammates, I 609 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,959 Speaker 1: didn't like him, and then we became teammates and they 610 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: became one of my best friends. Or we are from 611 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:31,719 Speaker 1: completely different worlds, completely different ideologies, completely different backgrounds, but 612 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: in between the lines, we have a common goal and 613 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: mission and we have to come together. It seems to 614 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: me that right now that is as much needed in 615 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: the world to be able to watch with sports not 616 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: only is our escape, but as our lesson plan. And 617 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: we've gotten away from that lesson plan, and we can 618 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: see so much within sport the fact that we need 619 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: to come together collectively, even with the people typically we 620 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: might otherwise marginalize and say there's a role there, there's 621 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: a role there as a teammate, because in reality, we're 622 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: all on this same team, and it just seems to 623 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: me like we've gotten away from that and that is 624 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: it not Debbie is the true beauty and essence and 625 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,720 Speaker 1: lesson of sport. 626 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 5: I mean, I got chills on that, Jake. That's exactly it. 627 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 6: It doesn't matter where you come from, what you've done. 628 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 5: How much money. 629 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 6: You have, where you grew up, who you grew up with, 630 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 6: how you grew up. When you come to sport and 631 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 6: you come together and you look across the aisle and 632 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 6: you see somebody that wants to win, it is as 633 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 6: competitive as prepared, you can't help but root for that 634 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 6: person that has the sweat equity in it. You get 635 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 6: to the playoffs, and that's the beauty of it right there. 636 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,479 Speaker 5: And you're right about society. We could use a little 637 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 5: bit more of this. This is where sport. 638 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 6: Was supposed to play the role in bringing people together, 639 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 6: the galvanizing thing when you're together in the arena and 640 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 6: you're rooting for somebody that you don't even know because 641 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 6: they wear the same color uniform that you're cheering for, 642 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 6: but then you learn something about them. 643 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 7: Now that's a fans perspective, the. 644 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 6: Players, how hard they work, what their body language says 645 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,919 Speaker 6: about serving about basketball is a servants game, Jake. 646 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 5: I've said this for a long time. I don't know, 647 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 5: if we've talked. 648 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 6: About this, there are a lot of things in basketball 649 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 6: that do not get stated. 650 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 5: How hard you run the floor, how good you are 651 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 5: to close out, how good. 652 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 7: You are to box out, how you. 653 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 5: Get a screen assist, making the extra pass. 654 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 6: Some of those things don't get stated on a regular statuet. 655 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 5: But if you understand the game and you realize that 656 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 5: your role on the floor is ultimately to make. 657 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 6: The game easier for your teammate, and you're all in 658 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 6: on that, and you've all put in the work and 659 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 6: you've seen each other do it, that's where the belief 660 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 6: comes in. And that's where you know that there's nothing 661 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 6: that we can face that we can't face together, that 662 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 6: we can't handle. And Stephanie has done a great job 663 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,879 Speaker 6: managing that. Sometimes teams go off eight, she didn't call 664 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 6: time out. It depends on who's on the floor, you know. 665 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 5: Sometimes they have a. 666 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 6: Situation where maybe you're gonna let it go one more 667 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,800 Speaker 6: possession because you believe, because you know who's on the floor, 668 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 6: you understand what they've done. They put the time in 669 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,439 Speaker 6: the repid. It's a really beautiful thing. 670 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 5: It's a wonderful thing to. 671 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 6: Talk about too, because it's fun to be in the 672 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 6: playoffs watching all this happen for the Fever, and what 673 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 6: a season for you know, historically for the Fever to 674 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 6: be able to do. 675 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 5: What they've been able to do. 676 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: Debbie, I know you've mentioned this before, but I've never asked. 677 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: I don't believe the specific on it. Okay, what does 678 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: your son Frankie do for a living? I know you 679 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: said that he works, he lives independently. What is his 680 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: job or what does he do? 681 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 5: Frankie has two. 682 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 6: Jobs and my son Frankie lives at Clemson after graduating 683 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 6: from Clemson Life. 684 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 7: He is living independently with support. 685 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,919 Speaker 6: He is good for a three, four or five hour 686 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 6: shift that sets him up for success. He works at 687 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 6: a pizza place called York Pie, which is a chain. 688 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 6: He works lunches there and then on the weekends he 689 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 6: works at a place called the Shepherd Hotel. The Shepherd 690 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 6: Hotel conceptually was built as a natural transition for Clemson 691 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 6: Life graduates to have employment after they graduate. Forty percent 692 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 6: of the people that work at the Shepherd Hotel. 693 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 5: It's a boutique hotel. 694 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 6: A little bit like sixty rooms and it has a 695 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 6: beautiful restaurant with a rooftop bar, which I call an. 696 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 5: Adult place to hang out at Clemson, and. 697 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,760 Speaker 7: It is that's he works at the hotel. 698 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 5: The hotel and in the restaurant. 699 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 7: So those are the things that he does basically food. 700 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,360 Speaker 1: Service and Frankie, for those that are unfamiliar, in the 701 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: Clemson Life Program is an extension of you know, education 702 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: and life preparation for individuals with special needs that grew 703 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: up in that sort of a curriculum. The point, the 704 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: reason I ask at Debbie is this, I didn't know 705 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 1: this as a younger person, and I think sports allowed 706 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: me to see this, and that was when I played basketball. 707 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: I wasn't a great scorer, but I could be a 708 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 1: good screener, and as long as I was a good 709 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: screener and I played defense, they weren't going to take 710 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: me off the floor. And guys that were natural scorers 711 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: more than myself, if they weren't scoring on a particular day, 712 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 1: they were on the bench. And I think it's important 713 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,760 Speaker 1: in life to see the same way as sport. To say, 714 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 1: if Frankie when he is at the Shepherd Hotel or 715 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: he is working the lunch shift, is the best version 716 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: of what it is that his role is to serve. 717 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,320 Speaker 1: Then that means that Frankie is more successful than the 718 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 1: guy that's an architect that goes in and mails it 719 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: in every day and does seventy percent of what's expected 720 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: of him. And I think that we can see that 721 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 1: in sport with a Lexi Hole or an Aaron Nei 722 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: Smith game in and game out, and I think that 723 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: we can learn a lot from seeing that in life 724 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: as well. 725 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 6: You can learn a lot from watching people's body language 726 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 6: and how much they enjoy what they're. 727 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 7: Doing, regardless of whatever it is that they're doing. 728 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 5: But you see that. 729 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 6: Pure joy, and it resonates with you because you see 730 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 6: somebody who's happy with the right attitude, who's delivering the 731 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 6: right body language. 732 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 5: Lexi does that, Aaron does it, and Frankie. 733 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 6: Does it in his role and his employment as well. 734 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 5: Jake, thank you for bringing that up. 735 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 8: Now. 736 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: Typically when I go down to Clemson games, I always 737 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: take pride in the fact that I do a Bondzye 738 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: road trip back and I try to make it back 739 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 1: within eight and a half hours of the game ending. 740 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: And now I realize They'm gonna have to stay at 741 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: the hotel, right, So now I'm down there for an 742 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: extra day and listen. 743 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 5: Then if you can get in there. That place is 744 00:39:58,600 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 5: one of the most popular. 745 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: Places, I'm sure, no question. It's a great town, great environment, 746 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 1: no question about it. Debbie. I appreciate the time as always, 747 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 1: and we look forward to talking to you as the 748 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: Fever continue here in the WNBA playoffs. 749 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 5: Thank you, Jake.

Congratulations. 764 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 2: Here's here's the big gdulations. 765 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: Here's the bigger thing. The fact that Michael would even 766 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: consider the notion of bringing this Dog and Pony Show 767 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,240 Speaker 1: into his big day is awesome. And it's a beautiful 768 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: day for a wedding, right. I wonder if he plays 769 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 1: a drinking game excuse me, drinking games? You know, like 770 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 1: you whenever you reference something, you say a word, you 771 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: take a drink, take a shot. Right? 772 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 2: You think he's doing that before the wedding with this program? 773 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 1: What what drink? What words or phrases would would he 774 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,720 Speaker 1: pick that would most endanger his stability for the wedding itself. 775 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 2: That's a great question, Dog Dog and Pony Show for 776 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 2: looking for a phrase? Okay, so teric, I use that 777 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:51,919 Speaker 2: word a lot. 778 00:41:52,320 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 1: Yes, I'm just saying program, I will say this. It's 779 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 1: probably irrelevant for me on the radio to say I 780 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 1: will say this day. How else am I going to do? 781 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: Draw it out for you? 782 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 2: You didn't get me? I mean you scat. 783 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: You're on camera, so you can act it out on 784 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,720 Speaker 1: the camera. Did anybody knows my billy beer shirt? 785 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 2: I did? Yes? 786 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 1: Are you familiar with billy beer? 787 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 6: No? 788 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,839 Speaker 1: I have a cannabilly beer. Do you want a cannabilly beer. 789 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 2: You know what, I think my dad may have a 790 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 2: cannabilly beer. 791 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: I would recommend probably. I don't know that you wanted 792 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 1: to drink a cannabilly beer when it came out, but 793 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 1: let alone. 794 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:31,319 Speaker 2: Now, okay, So you know those like giant storage containers, Yes, 795 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 2: he's got them full of empty beer cans. 796 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:35,799 Speaker 1: I'm telling you. 797 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 2: Beer cans were like quite the collectible in the seventies. 798 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,720 Speaker 2: So like there's a chance he may have an empty 799 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:40,280 Speaker 2: one in there. 800 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,399 Speaker 1: So Billy Beer, if you look it up, Eddie, look 801 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: up for me, Billy Beer. I'm going to guess that 802 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,840 Speaker 1: Billy Beer was in production in its original run from 803 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,880 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven to nineteen seventy eight. I'm going to 804 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: say a one year window. If that ten months of production. 805 00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 2: It was introduced July of nineteen seventy seven, and I'm. 806 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 1: Going to guess, and I did not look this up. 807 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess that it was out of production by 808 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 1: wol Did it go a year? I will say if 809 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: you said July of seventy seven, I'll say it when 810 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: a year, I'll say September of seventy. 811 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 2: Eight, October of seventy eight. 812 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,400 Speaker 1: Are you serious? Yes? Okay, Now did anybody pick it 813 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: up since then? I think it probably was terrible for 814 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: those that are unfamiliar. Billy Carter was kind of like 815 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,760 Speaker 1: Roger Clinton. He was like the wild and crazy brother 816 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,959 Speaker 1: of Jimmy Carter. And he came out with his own beer. 817 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 1: I think the can said something like, I personally attest 818 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 1: this is the finest beer out there, or something like that. 819 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 2: So Casey Schwab in the Fantasy Football League chimes, n Jake, 820 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,399 Speaker 2: I'm surprised he's texting me, not you. 821 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: But quite frankly, really, quite frankly, it doesn't feel like 822 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 1: I say that that often. The Colts injury report. What 823 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: we know is this Tyler Warren. What's that? Colts is 824 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,839 Speaker 1: a good one, yes, Tyler Warren. Tyler Warren's another good one. 825 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 1: He has a boo boo on his toe right and 826 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 1: I think it's the toe that went to market. But 827 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: it's come back. It's come We we back all the way home. 828 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,320 Speaker 1: Because it looks like Tyler Warren is going to be 829 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 1: a go on Sunday because he did practice yesterday and 830 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,399 Speaker 1: I think he had a full practice. As a matter 831 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 1: of fact, was it limited all of the players that 832 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,879 Speaker 1: we have kept an eye on and talked about over 833 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 1: the course. I believe that everybody yesterday did do some 834 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: form of practice. I'm looking at it right here before me. 835 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 1: I realized that many can do the same.

And I'm sure 902 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,959 Speaker 1: thrilled to be doing so. Based on that conversation. Tom 903 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 1: Noy is up in South Bench South Ben Tribune and 904 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,319 Speaker 1: covers Notre Dame, and Tom, I'm going to begin with this. 905 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 1: We talked to you a year ago about the fact, 906 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, after the Northern Illinois loss and as we 907 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 1: were moving towards there's the college Football Playoff you were 908 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 1: talking about just kind of the tone of what you 909 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:08,759 Speaker 1: saw from Marcus Freeman and having to rebound after that 910 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,239 Speaker 1: game against Northern Illinois and Purdue was a big part 911 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,839 Speaker 1: of that obviously to get that jump started, But how 912 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 1: would you compare that to the overall vibe or atmosphere 913 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:18,799 Speaker 1: now with the Irish being zero to two. 914 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 4: I think when we sat here a year ago, coming 915 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 4: clear of that Northern Illinois game, it was more stunned, like, 916 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 4: wait a minute, how can a team go in to 917 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 4: College Station Texas the week before in front of one 918 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,879 Speaker 4: hundred and three thousand people in an SEC setting that 919 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,359 Speaker 4: nobody in that program had played in before and come 920 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,880 Speaker 4: away with a ten point victory and then turn around 921 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 4: and lose to Northern Illinois at home. So it was 922 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,239 Speaker 4: just like, what in the world is going on. So 923 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 4: it was stunned last year. At this point, I think 924 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 4: it's more anger, disappointment, and just downright frustration as to 925 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,319 Speaker 4: were we that off And when I say we, I 926 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,960 Speaker 4: say everybody around South End, everybody that covers this program, 927 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,920 Speaker 4: everybody that follows this program. Where we've that off base 928 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,239 Speaker 4: with thinking what this team could be regardless of the 929 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,920 Speaker 4: fact that they're playing at Miami and they're playing a 930 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,399 Speaker 4: ranked Texas A and M team, you score forty points 931 00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 4: in your own building, you think you're walking out of 932 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,399 Speaker 4: their winners. So it's just something where everybody's sitting here 933 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,800 Speaker 4: now where it's just just like, what in the world, 934 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 4: how is Notre Dame, which played for a national championship 935 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 4: in January, back in the position of, well, here we 936 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 4: go again, it's win out or you're going home from 937 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:40,640 Speaker 4: the playoffs. 938 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,359 Speaker 1: You know, the easy answer here, Tom would be you've 939 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:49,720 Speaker 1: got young quarterback play. But yet I think that's naive, 940 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,719 Speaker 1: like helicopter observation, because I think their quarterbacks played pretty well. 941 00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:54,719 Speaker 1: Your thoughts. 942 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,600 Speaker 4: First after the first game of the season, Now it 943 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 4: was trunk is prolonged because not er Anymon was on 944 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 4: a bye week after that, But the first time Marcus 945 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,479 Speaker 4: Freeman stepped in front of the media after the Miami game. 946 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 4: I think it was the first, the second, the third, 947 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 4: the fourth, the fifth, so on. All those questions were 948 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,759 Speaker 4: about CJ. Carr, and rightfully so, making his first start 949 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,840 Speaker 4: maybe a little shaky at times, maybe a little solid 950 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:23,760 Speaker 4: at others. But it took twenty five minutes into Marcus 951 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:28,240 Speaker 4: Freeman's thirty minute press conference on Monday before anyone asked 952 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:28,840 Speaker 4: about CJ. 953 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:29,360 Speaker 9: Carr. 954 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 4: This team is not zing too because of anything CJ. 955 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 4: Carr has or hasn't done. 956 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:41,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought, defensively, I mean, this goes without saying 957 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,640 Speaker 1: when you give up forty plus points at home, right, 958 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,400 Speaker 1: But more so than that, Tom and you know you 959 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,680 Speaker 1: see it more nuanced than do I. You're around it 960 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 1: that final drive, for example from Texas A and M 961 00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 1: Was that about fatigue? Was that about scheme? Was that 962 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 1: about just elite athletes on the other side? I mean, 963 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,680 Speaker 1: to what do we basically pin that on? 964 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,640 Speaker 4: I'm going to go the Mike Bray routes and say 965 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 4: I'm pin it on karma because when we watched this 966 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,319 Speaker 4: team last year, whether it's Dalton, Los Angeles and the 967 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 4: Coliseum as USC's basically getting ready to go in for 968 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 4: the tying touchdown or whatever game you want to pick 969 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,279 Speaker 4: from twenty twenty four. When you watch that defense, you 970 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,760 Speaker 4: sat there and thought, you know what, this looks really bad. 971 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,239 Speaker 4: I don't know how Notre Dame's getting out of this, 972 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,360 Speaker 4: but you know what, they're just going to find a 973 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,520 Speaker 4: way to get out of it. And the behold, Christian 974 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,520 Speaker 4: Gray goes ninety nine yards with an interception return, and 975 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 4: there's the USC game, and there's the home playoff game, 976 00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:45,680 Speaker 4: and that kick starts to run to the National championship game. Now, 977 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 4: as you sit here two games in the Miami game, 978 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 4: late fourth quarter, last drive of the game, Texas A 979 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,360 Speaker 4: and m game, late fourth quarter, last drive of the game, 980 00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 4: you're sitting there watching Notre Dame play and thinking, I 981 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 4: don't know how Notre Dame is going to get out 982 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 4: of this, And you know what, I don't think they 983 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,520 Speaker 4: are because all the times that they were able to 984 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,680 Speaker 4: escape and win ten straight last last year and get 985 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 4: to fourteen and one before the Ohio State game, It's 986 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,600 Speaker 4: just there's just a feel about it where you're like, 987 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,440 Speaker 4: I don't know if these guys have it in them 988 00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:24,760 Speaker 4: to make that play whether it's defensively late against Miami 989 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,919 Speaker 4: and Texas A and m or you know the drive 990 00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 4: with CJ. Carr, What are you going to do with 991 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:32,640 Speaker 4: a minute to go in hard rock and the opening games. 992 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:36,560 Speaker 4: So it's just something where everything that everything that needed 993 00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,440 Speaker 4: to go right last year went right, and everything that 994 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,479 Speaker 4: could go wrong for this program right now is going wrong. 995 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:43,560 Speaker 4: And that's why they're on two. 996 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,960 Speaker 1: Tom. Let's let's look at their schedule here, Okay, if 997 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 1: they're zero and too right now? And I know that 998 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 1: it's easy. And look, we got a ton of Notre 999 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,440 Speaker 1: Dame fans in this area for sure, right and I 1000 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:59,040 Speaker 1: get it. I mean Notre Dame is college football is better, 1001 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: probably more ecceited, more polarizing nationally speaking, when Notre Dame 1002 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,320 Speaker 1: is involved in that playoff if you look at it 1003 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 1: right now, Purdue, Arkansas, Boise State, North Carolina State, USC, 1004 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 1: Boston College, Navy, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Stanford. Is that enough that 1005 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 1: if they run the table right now, they still find 1006 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,200 Speaker 1: themselves ranked twenty fourth if you buy into that at 1007 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 1: zero to two, if they run the table with those games, 1008 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:24,840 Speaker 1: does that get them end? 1009 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:29,799 Speaker 4: The national narrative is, how in the heck can Notre Dame, 1010 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,439 Speaker 4: not be not go into the playoff at ten and two. 1011 00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:37,279 Speaker 4: The brand, the visibility, the eyeballs, the interest, to. 1012 00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:38,279 Speaker 2: Everything that goes with it. 1013 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:39,359 Speaker 1: I would tend to agree with that. 1014 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 4: I cannot disagree enough because the and you just rolled 1015 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,600 Speaker 4: off all those teams. Where is the quality win because 1016 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 4: nor is going to go ten and two. Like, let's 1017 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,320 Speaker 4: say they go ten and two, we're the only ranked 1018 00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 4: teams or your two best games are the games that 1019 00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 4: you lost, never even got the benefit of the doubt. 1020 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:08,960 Speaker 4: And they dodged a huge, huge obstacle last year in 1021 00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 4: being able to still get in having basically lost the 1022 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:17,240 Speaker 4: worst game that any playoff team had lost last season. 1023 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,839 Speaker 4: I don't know how they're going to be able to dodge. 1024 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 2: It two years in a row. And people are. 1025 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,640 Speaker 4: Gonna now again so much has to happen with the SEC, 1026 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 4: the Big ten, the AC whatever. But at ten and two, 1027 00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:32,080 Speaker 4: I just I can't see people saying, yeah, they're one 1028 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 4: of the twelve best teams in the country. 1029 00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,120 Speaker 1: You know, I'll tell you what hurts them, Tom, what 1030 00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 1: hurts them, and you're gonna laugh ole miss hurt them? 1031 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,840 Speaker 1: Now people are going olds with Jake, what what the 1032 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,560 Speaker 1: heck does Old Miss have to do with Notre Dame. 1033 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,320 Speaker 4: You're an Old Miss guy, aren't you. 1034 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,320 Speaker 1: No, I'm a Clemson fan. Oh you're a c I'm sorry, 1035 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,480 Speaker 1: but I don't like Lane Kiffin either, although I will 1036 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 1: and I thought the tail getting at Old Miss a 1037 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 1: little overrated. But having said that, Ole Miss beat Arkansas 1038 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,319 Speaker 1: and are Arkansas is one of those I think Notre 1039 00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 1: Dame has to look at Arkansas, USC and Boise State 1040 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 1: and at the very least they need two of those 1041 00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,200 Speaker 1: three at the end of the year to really look 1042 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:14,520 Speaker 1: like good wins. Yes, and if Arkansas, you know, Arkansas 1043 00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,000 Speaker 1: right now is at two to one, but they lost 1044 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 1: to Old Mess. Arkansas is kind of in the same boat, 1045 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 1: you know. The SEC slate is loaded. Though. If Arkansas 1046 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 1: can get some quality wins and get themselves to the 1047 00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 1: point of the end of the year, it's like the 1048 00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 1: NCAA Tournament Selection Sunday at a tom at this point 1049 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 1: it is. 1050 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,239 Speaker 3: And the thing is, too can they go ten and two? 1051 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,359 Speaker 4: Absolutely last year when they were one on one, we 1052 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:40,839 Speaker 4: were thinking it's gonna be tough, but they I can 1053 00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,120 Speaker 4: see a pass because that defense was so good. Now 1054 00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:48,160 Speaker 4: the flip side is true they can go ten and two. 1055 00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,720 Speaker 4: But with that defense, do you trust that defense against 1056 00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 4: Boise State or USC or some team that just comes 1057 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 4: out of note or Arkansas. If Notreame wins tomorrow forty 1058 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,400 Speaker 4: one nothing, that's still not going to solve the biggest 1059 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 4: issue that's going to plague this team going to Fayetteville 1060 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 4: for the first time, It's going to be how is 1061 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 4: that defense going to hold up in an s SEC 1062 00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:14,080 Speaker 4: atmosphere at eleven AM, at a place they's never been. 1063 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 4: I just I can't get to a point now where 1064 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,720 Speaker 4: you trust that defense to run off ten straight wins. 1065 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 1: Hey, what what is the conversation I guess or what 1066 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 1: has been said this week from Marcus Freeman just in 1067 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:31,040 Speaker 1: regards to Purdue. And you know, obviously I think a 1068 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 1: year ago you could really make the case Ryan Walter's 1069 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,279 Speaker 1: fate might have been sealed anyway, But that was I mean, 1070 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,120 Speaker 1: they licked. They would put the stamp on it with that, right. 1071 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,399 Speaker 1: Just this Purdue team, new coach. I know they're coming 1072 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,279 Speaker 1: off with disappointment against USC, but at the same you know, 1073 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,839 Speaker 1: because they had a lot of red zone turnovers, but 1074 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 1: they do look to me to be more competent. But 1075 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 1: we still don't know exactly who they are. What is 1076 00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:56,760 Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman said. 1077 00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:01,080 Speaker 4: Very little, if anything, because it's all about it. We 1078 00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 4: get it, We've we've gotten We've got coach speak, playbook 1079 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,200 Speaker 4: one on one all week. For Marcus Freeman, it's not 1080 00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,920 Speaker 4: about who we're playing. It's about us. We need to 1081 00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,240 Speaker 4: worry about us. There was a point in Monday's press 1082 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,200 Speaker 4: or when he was asked, you know, Marcus, what what 1083 00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 4: do you like about your defense? And he paused and 1084 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:24,040 Speaker 4: stammered and and fumbled over the tripped over the question 1085 00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,160 Speaker 4: and was like, I just look at all the bad things, 1086 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 4: So this is not this. I don't think this has 1087 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,520 Speaker 4: any I don't know how many times the name Purdue 1088 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,960 Speaker 4: or or anybody on that offense or that defense for 1089 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,760 Speaker 4: the Boiler Americas has been uttered this week around the 1090 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:44,360 Speaker 4: other aim because it's like, how do we fix this defense, 1091 00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,400 Speaker 4: this defense? Because the offensively this team's fine. 1092 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:48,280 Speaker 1: The C J. 1093 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,959 Speaker 4: Carr. Maybe you want to get Jeremiah Love a little 1094 00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,520 Speaker 4: more involved, Maybe you want to get Jane Greadhouse more involved. 1095 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 4: But I think Marcus Freeman has spend in every waking 1096 00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,440 Speaker 4: moment right now worried about how in the world We're 1097 00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,440 Speaker 4: going to fix it defense and not worried about what 1098 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,920 Speaker 4: Purdue may or may not do on Saturday afternoon over 1099 00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:05,960 Speaker 4: at Notreame Stadium. 1100 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 1: Interesting thing, Tom in college football is you have a 1101 00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,800 Speaker 1: handful of programs. I would put Alabama in the category 1102 00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:19,040 Speaker 1: I'm about to mention, I would put maybe Oklahoma in 1103 00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:23,000 Speaker 1: this category. I'm about to mention in probably Ohio State. 1104 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,600 Speaker 1: And that is completely irrational fans when it comes to 1105 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:30,520 Speaker 1: coaching stability. Okay, in other words, a team loses back 1106 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,000 Speaker 1: to back games and it's like a hot seat. This 1107 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 1: is terrible, you know, et cetera, et cetera. I don't 1108 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,240 Speaker 1: think Notre Dame season is going to collapse, But as 1109 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:44,440 Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman, is there a situation, is there any possibility 1110 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,000 Speaker 1: this year that it could go south to the point 1111 00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:49,560 Speaker 1: where conversations begin. 1112 00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,400 Speaker 4: I don't know about conversations as far as concerns like 1113 00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 4: there were concerns last year common clear in Northern Illinois. 1114 00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,440 Speaker 4: We'll go back to that game. After that game, it 1115 00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,880 Speaker 4: was I don't I don't know if he's the guy 1116 00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 4: because this just keeps happening. In September, and this was 1117 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,840 Speaker 4: before the owe and two start. You had Northern Illinois. 1118 00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:14,600 Speaker 4: You had Marshall, you had Stanford, you had a no 1119 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,160 Speaker 4: show at Louisville, you had a no show at Clemson, 1120 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,840 Speaker 4: And so after Northern Illinois it was I don't know. 1121 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,200 Speaker 4: The jury's still out on Marcus Streaman. Bangy rips off 1122 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:28,000 Speaker 4: ten wins in a row, he gets a massive contract extension. 1123 00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:32,520 Speaker 4: He can't do anything wrong in anybody's eyes. Now, it's 1124 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:35,480 Speaker 4: it's not I don't know if Marcus Freeman's the guy. 1125 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,400 Speaker 4: It's you just got to fire Chris ash yesterday. But 1126 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,920 Speaker 4: if this goes south, then we're which is which is 1127 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 4: why it made Saturday so disappointing. And what I basically 1128 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:50,160 Speaker 4: wrote about Saturday night Sunday morning was they were supposed 1129 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,760 Speaker 4: to be beyond this, Like well, Notre Dame, they played 1130 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,160 Speaker 4: for national championship. Maybe this year they can get back 1131 00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,400 Speaker 4: and win a national championship. Not this cut this this 1132 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:03,840 Speaker 4: start stop and start and stop and spluttering of really 1133 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,600 Speaker 4: big wins and really baffling losses. So unless this goes 1134 01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:13,000 Speaker 4: completely off the tracks, the one person in the crosshairs 1135 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:17,240 Speaker 4: of every fan is not Marcus Screenan, it's Chris Ash. 1136 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:18,960 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you one I think Tom Noy 1137 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:20,360 Speaker 1: is our guest, by the way, from the South, Ben 1138 01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,960 Speaker 1: trim Mune, Purdue and Notre Dame tomorrow. Tom I never 1139 01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:25,640 Speaker 1: asked you about this, I don't think. And we had 1140 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,640 Speaker 1: you on a lot, which I appreciate during the playoffs 1141 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:33,120 Speaker 1: last year after the Indiana game, and I don't think 1142 01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,520 Speaker 1: I brought this up to you. If I did, I 1143 01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,520 Speaker 1: was going to bring it back up. You know, Indiana 1144 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,360 Speaker 1: right now finds themselves in the spot where they are unbeaten. 1145 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,880 Speaker 1: They go in with Illinois tomorrow night, a big one, 1146 01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 1: might be the biggest home game in a long time 1147 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:49,040 Speaker 1: in Memorial Stadium history. And I think there were those 1148 01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 1: Everybody loved Kurt Signetti and still does from an Indiana standpoint, 1149 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:59,000 Speaker 1: and the bravada and the just the confidence at times brash, right, 1150 01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:04,200 Speaker 1: But I think there is some thought that going on 1151 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:08,200 Speaker 1: game day on the field, while Notre Dame is warming 1152 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:12,760 Speaker 1: up in the background and showing that same Kurt Signetti bravada, 1153 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 1: I really did, for a split second think that because 1154 01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,120 Speaker 1: Pat McAfee was on that stage, that for a split 1155 01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,360 Speaker 1: second Signetti actually thought he was doing the McAfee show 1156 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:27,080 Speaker 1: as opposed to the game day show. And he almost 1157 01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,840 Speaker 1: lost sight of that filter, and I thought he went 1158 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,240 Speaker 1: to the roulette wheel one too many times on the 1159 01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,880 Speaker 1: push the chest out on a stage where finally the 1160 01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 1: moment was bigger than the check he could write, is 1161 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:44,120 Speaker 1: there any in your thought accuracy to that assessment. 1162 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,680 Speaker 4: One thousand percent? Like, that's great, that's great if you're 1163 01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,240 Speaker 4: going to talk again a good game like that, but 1164 01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 4: you'd better back it up and not let Jeremiah Love 1165 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:56,600 Speaker 4: go ninety eight yards sixteen seconds or whatever it was 1166 01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,840 Speaker 4: into the game and then you're down, and it's get 1167 01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:02,720 Speaker 4: that game was basically over by halftime. So it's Kurt 1168 01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,040 Speaker 4: Signetti did the same thing that Notre Dame did the 1169 01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:06,400 Speaker 4: other night against Texas A and M. 1170 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:07,880 Speaker 1: They puffed out their chest. 1171 01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:10,360 Speaker 4: They stood next to Texas A and M as they 1172 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,680 Speaker 4: were as the Aggies were running off to the field 1173 01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,560 Speaker 4: toward their tunnel in pregame and as there was some 1174 01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 4: barking and some wolfing and this and that, and it's like, afterward, 1175 01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,320 Speaker 4: I said, that's great that Notre Ame can do something 1176 01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,280 Speaker 4: like that, But if you're gonna do that and you're 1177 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,480 Speaker 4: gonna go that far out on the ledge, you better 1178 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,919 Speaker 4: back it up. And Signetti certainly did not, and Notre 1179 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,320 Speaker 4: Dame obviously did not the other night against A and M. 1180 01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,520 Speaker 1: Tom, appreciate the time as always, three point thirty tomorrow 1181 01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:43,360 Speaker 1: Purdue and Notre Dame, and I was, look, I get it. 1182 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,480 Speaker 1: I guess I thought twenty five and a half for 1183 01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,120 Speaker 1: twenty six and a half or whatever. I was a 1184 01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,120 Speaker 1: little surprised by the size of that spread, just because 1185 01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,439 Speaker 1: it's a Power five school, Am I am? I giving 1186 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:52,520 Speaker 1: Preduye too much credit? 1187 01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,120 Speaker 4: Thought that the same thing this morning, Like that's a 1188 01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,800 Speaker 4: lot of points for a big ten team. 1189 01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,600 Speaker 1: A lot of points, right, and again I mean a 1190 01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,800 Speaker 1: big ten team at the very least. I guess we 1191 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:08,920 Speaker 1: say with Barry odom with you know, a new attitude. 1192 01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:10,520 Speaker 1: But we'll see whether or not that backs up. But 1193 01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,400 Speaker 1: it should be fun tomorrow. Appreciate the time as always, Tom, 1194 01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,520 Speaker 1: you got brother.

I think there's gonna be some really good 1197 01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:25,480 Speaker 1: games tomorrow. And I mean, you know, we haven't even 1198 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,720 Speaker 1: gotten into I you in Illinois, but just the overall 1199 01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,000 Speaker 1: vibe and energy of that, I think it's going to 1200 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:36,400 Speaker 1: be pretty awesome and James Boyd seems awfully confident of 1201 01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 1: his ALLI and I right, seems very very confident of 1202 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,960 Speaker 1: his ALLI and I. And then I thought it was 1203 01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:45,919 Speaker 1: interesting that when James was going on and on about 1204 01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:47,960 Speaker 1: Illinois and how confident he is that they're going to 1205 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,720 Speaker 1: beat Indiana, he did pause long enough to say, oh, 1206 01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:52,520 Speaker 1: and by the way, I've watched him like one time 1207 01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:56,720 Speaker 1: this year. I would imagine James is fairly busy on 1208 01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:00,840 Speaker 1: football weekends because of his responsibilities a they and covering 1209 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:05,080 Speaker 1: the coltson then obviously with this show and et cetera. 1210 01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:10,200 Speaker 1: By the way, before we get to Kyle Nedripp, who 1211 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,320 Speaker 1: is going to join us, Kyle Nedripp going to join 1212 01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,640 Speaker 1: us on the program in just a couple of minutes, 1213 01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,640 Speaker 1: we'll get the lowdown on high school football and everything 1214 01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:22,160 Speaker 1: going on with that.

I believe it may be hands is her 1241 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,400 Speaker 2: last is her first name. But I loved this story 1242 01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:48,680 Speaker 2: because she moved to Indiana from she grew up on 1243 01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:54,640 Speaker 2: a Navajo reservation in New Mexico, moved to Indiana and 1244 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,840 Speaker 2: had her daughter, Margaret, who became Margaret became a huge 1245 01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:02,120 Speaker 2: fan of Purdue basketball and travel around and she has 1246 01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:04,640 Speaker 2: been a loyal listener of sports talk radio and a 1247 01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:06,960 Speaker 2: fan of different sports and the speedway in general, and 1248 01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:14,320 Speaker 2: really embraced the sports culture in Indianapolis and through different 1249 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,200 Speaker 2: periods of the year. One of the things about Hands 1250 01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 2: that I love is she and she works at a 1251 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:24,360 Speaker 2: veterinary clinic, so she's been incredible with giving advice to 1252 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 2: me during Shannon's OCD battles with the dogs and so 1253 01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:35,520 Speaker 2: at any rate over the course of the years, at 1254 01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:40,600 Speaker 2: different events or periods of the year, Christmas, Birthdays, whatever, 1255 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:44,320 Speaker 2: I have really enjoyed learning more about or getting to 1256 01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 2: know about the Navajo culture just through Hands in sharing 1257 01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,680 Speaker 2: that and sharing a part of her background and growing 1258 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:53,280 Speaker 2: up on the reservation and making different cookies and desserts, 1259 01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:57,640 Speaker 2: and for my family Thanksgiving, she has made, you know, cookies, 1260 01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,160 Speaker 2: Navajo cookies and in the different de causies that they enjoy. 1261 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,880 Speaker 2: And at one point during one of the shows that 1262 01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,880 Speaker 2: we were doing, she had with her her father who 1263 01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,240 Speaker 2: had come to visit from New Mexico, who was just 1264 01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:15,040 Speaker 2: a delight. And I'm not in any way, shape or 1265 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,920 Speaker 2: form going to pretend that the life that he had 1266 01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,080 Speaker 2: was the same as probably what a lot of us 1267 01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 2: would know, just based on growing up on a reservation 1268 01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:29,000 Speaker 2: and having wonderful children. But you know, certainly, if you 1269 01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,200 Speaker 2: go back to when he was a young kid, probably 1270 01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,080 Speaker 2: some of the challenges that he would have had. 1271 01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,520 Speaker 1: But just a dear man at any rate.

And I always admired 1274 01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:46,720 Speaker 1: the fact that she was able to come here and 1275 01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:50,800 Speaker 1: with Margaret now and make Indianapolis her home and take 1276 01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:54,120 Speaker 1: advantage of the wonderful hospitality of the people in this area. 1277 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,520 Speaker 1: But I also am so grateful for the fact that 1278 01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:58,720 Speaker 1: in doing so, she shared with all of us, and 1279 01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:01,000 Speaker 1: continues to share with all of us, that in which 1280 01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,760 Speaker 1: enriched her life from where it was that she grew 1281 01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:05,560 Speaker 1: up and her father was a big part of that. 1282 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:09,200 Speaker 1: It was a privilege to have met him.

By the way, some really good games last 1376 01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:03,960 Speaker 1: week and we can rehash as well. But the big 1377 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:05,280 Speaker 1: one tonight for you would be Witch. 1378 01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,000 Speaker 9: I'm going to see Brownsburg for the first time against 1379 01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,680 Speaker 9: the Fishers, who I did cover last week, and they 1380 01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,320 Speaker 9: they got a big win against HSC and that rivalry 1381 01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 9: game in the Mudsaw game. So yeah, looking forward to 1382 01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:22,120 Speaker 9: seeing their offense against a Brownsburg team that had a 1383 01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:24,720 Speaker 9: quite a tussle on sale last week against Avon. It 1384 01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,080 Speaker 9: was fifty five forty seven and you know if that, 1385 01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:29,360 Speaker 9: you know if they struggle again on defense, this is 1386 01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:31,880 Speaker 9: a Fishers team that can really put up points on you. 1387 01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,519 Speaker 9: So I'm that's the game I'll be at and we'll 1388 01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,720 Speaker 9: have h We'll have coverage at several other games at 1389 01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:40,240 Speaker 9: Lapel and Indian Creek will be a really good one. 1390 01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:45,760 Speaker 9: We'll have somebody there at that game. And if the 1391 01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,600 Speaker 9: HSC and Fishers play each other tonight, that'll be a 1392 01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:52,599 Speaker 9: good one. We're also covering Addicts at Addicts and Purdue 1393 01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:54,559 Speaker 9: Poly which I think will be a really good game 1394 01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:57,759 Speaker 9: and help decide that conference battle. 1395 01:12:58,040 --> 01:12:58,160 Speaker 5: Uh. 1396 01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,080 Speaker 9: So we'll have people there at all those games. And 1397 01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:02,320 Speaker 9: there's one of oh Penalty and Heights in newpal also 1398 01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:06,040 Speaker 9: be a battle of undefeated teams. So uh, those will 1399 01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:08,840 Speaker 9: be and we'll have our usual round up and whatever, 1400 01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:10,200 Speaker 9: but those will be games. 1401 01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:13,840 Speaker 1: We'll have people out for sure, South Dearborn in Greensburg, 1402 01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:17,760 Speaker 1: by the way, South, that's a county rivalry. If I'm 1403 01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:22,439 Speaker 1: not mistaken, you talked about Brownsburg. Am I correct in 1404 01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:25,920 Speaker 1: saying Kyle that offensively speaking, they are as loaded or 1405 01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:27,639 Speaker 1: as explosive as anybody in the area. 1406 01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:31,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, they haven't really been stopped yet, and that's kind 1407 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,839 Speaker 9: of the you know, they played some obviously some good teams. 1408 01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,639 Speaker 9: You know, the Spaulding Academy out of Spaulding Archbishops Paulding 1409 01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,160 Speaker 9: out of Maryland was first and put up thirty six 1410 01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:42,600 Speaker 9: on them and their nationally ranked teams. So you know, 1411 01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:44,920 Speaker 9: I think that's uh in the fact that they can 1412 01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,519 Speaker 9: do it both running and passing. You know, they avon 1413 01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:50,800 Speaker 9: tried to take Brandon Sharp away last week, and that's 1414 01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:53,879 Speaker 9: the first time, you know, a team has just basically 1415 01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:56,600 Speaker 9: just doubled him everywhere and they they were able to 1416 01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:59,559 Speaker 9: you know, Brownsberg didn't really go to him because of that, 1417 01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:02,439 Speaker 9: but they were able to run for a ton of 1418 01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:05,040 Speaker 9: yards in that game. A j Job had a huge game. 1419 01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:08,520 Speaker 9: You know, also took a screen pass eighty yards for touchdown. 1420 01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:11,240 Speaker 9: So h they find other ways if you try to 1421 01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:13,920 Speaker 9: take one person away, and that's kind of the you know, 1422 01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,360 Speaker 9: that's kind of the fun part of the matchups is 1423 01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:18,519 Speaker 9: is seeing how teams try to defend you. I'm curious 1424 01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:19,160 Speaker 9: how Fishers. 1425 01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:19,880 Speaker 8: Fisher's not a. 1426 01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:23,120 Speaker 9: Huge team, you know, they're they're uh from watching them 1427 01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,360 Speaker 9: in person, a little bit lighter upfront and than some 1428 01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:27,719 Speaker 9: of the other six eight teams, but you know, they're 1429 01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:31,479 Speaker 9: they're a very speedy team, athletic teams. So we'll see 1430 01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:35,680 Speaker 9: what they try to do defensively, you know, and then conversely, 1431 01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,280 Speaker 9: what how Brownsburg plays defensively. I'm sure they want to 1432 01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:41,439 Speaker 9: play better than they did last week against Davon, but yeah, definitely, 1433 01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:44,120 Speaker 9: you know, to your question, I think that's the key 1434 01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:46,759 Speaker 9: for any team trying to be brownsburgs. How do you 1435 01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:48,439 Speaker 9: you know, how do you slow down that offense and 1436 01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,800 Speaker 9: how do you keep them from you know, making those 1437 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,320 Speaker 9: big plays both in the run in the past, which 1438 01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:55,360 Speaker 9: they've done both of this season. 1439 01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:57,680 Speaker 1: By the way, Eddie, just so you know, Michael that's 1440 01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:01,200 Speaker 1: getting married. You know what else Once he gets married, 1441 01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:03,679 Speaker 1: you know what else? You could call his wife as 1442 01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:08,439 Speaker 1: first mate. Okay, I'm here all day, I mean, just 1443 01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:11,519 Speaker 1: so you know, I'm not laughing at these These are bad, Kyle. 1444 01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:14,200 Speaker 1: Deep down you like the pirate voice, don't you, Kyle? 1445 01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:16,559 Speaker 1: Be honest? At any point do you say to yourself, 1446 01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:19,200 Speaker 1: it's hard to believe that's the same guy it is. 1447 01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:22,560 Speaker 9: I thought you had somebody else in their studio with you. 1448 01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:24,360 Speaker 2: May that's right, Well he has me. 1449 01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:26,799 Speaker 9: But not counting Eddie. 1450 01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:28,479 Speaker 1: That's right. There's a guy that a guy kind of 1451 01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,160 Speaker 1: leaning over here on one side, you know, because the 1452 01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:34,000 Speaker 1: wooden leg and all. Okay, Kyle is is Kevin right? 1453 01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:35,519 Speaker 1: For real? I mean I know that Kevin Wright is 1454 01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:37,360 Speaker 1: a coach is for real? You know. And for those 1455 01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 1: that are unfamiliar, Kevin Wright, who won state championships at 1456 01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:44,960 Speaker 1: Warren Central, won at Carmel and then you know he left. 1457 01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,800 Speaker 1: He was in Oklahoma he was at IMG Academy, he 1458 01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,800 Speaker 1: was at IU for that matter, and back leading the 1459 01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,800 Speaker 1: Carmel Greyhounds, and I think what he's done here is 1460 01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:56,320 Speaker 1: very impressive. How much have you had a chance to 1461 01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:57,960 Speaker 1: kind of dive into what they're doing. 1462 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,479 Speaker 9: Yeah, definitely. I talked to Kevin before the season and 1463 01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:03,600 Speaker 9: then I was out there. I guess it would have 1464 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:08,080 Speaker 9: been Week two against Westfield and they you know kind of, well, 1465 01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,200 Speaker 9: not kind of, They definitely made a statement that night. 1466 01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,680 Speaker 9: They won that game thirty four to ten, and you know, 1467 01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:14,559 Speaker 9: they went down to Louisville Trinity last week. I know 1468 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,880 Speaker 9: we talked about that game last week before it happened 1469 01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:19,360 Speaker 9: as kind of a you know, being a measuring stick game, 1470 01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:21,679 Speaker 9: and they they lost that game forty one twenty eight. 1471 01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,200 Speaker 9: But you know, kind of diving into that a little 1472 01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:26,519 Speaker 9: bit more, they had about an eight or nine minute 1473 01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:28,680 Speaker 9: stretch where just kind of everything went wrong, you know, 1474 01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:31,360 Speaker 9: could could go wrong, did go wrong, and you know, 1475 01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:33,640 Speaker 9: they still moved the ball really well. They just too 1476 01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:37,240 Speaker 9: many turnovers, especially during that stretch. So I think the 1477 01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:41,120 Speaker 9: fact that you know, they're still doing the things that 1478 01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,040 Speaker 9: Kevin does well, which is, you know, he's been an 1479 01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:46,840 Speaker 9: offensive guy who likes to kind of do both, you know, 1480 01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:49,160 Speaker 9: run and pass and kind of play off the run 1481 01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:52,040 Speaker 9: with the pass and those sorts of things. And they 1482 01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:54,400 Speaker 9: even did that against Trinity pretty well, just just too 1483 01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:56,800 Speaker 9: many mistakes. Like I said, so, I definitely think what 1484 01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,200 Speaker 9: they're doing is is for real. And you know, they 1485 01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:02,080 Speaker 9: played Columbus nor tonight, which has been a good six 1486 01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:04,360 Speaker 9: A team. I don't think they're probably in the same 1487 01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,720 Speaker 9: category as Carmel uh. And then they've got you know, 1488 01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:09,960 Speaker 9: a couple of weeks they'll they'll play Ben Davis and 1489 01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,680 Speaker 9: Warren back to back weeks, and you know, that'll be 1490 01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:14,920 Speaker 9: interesting to see how they handle those teams too. But 1491 01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:17,080 Speaker 9: I think there's a real chance for them to finish 1492 01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:18,799 Speaker 9: you know, the regular season with only. 1493 01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:19,360 Speaker 8: This one loss. 1494 01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:21,559 Speaker 9: I mean, I I don't see that as out of 1495 01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:24,240 Speaker 9: the out of the realm possibility and probably end up 1496 01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,000 Speaker 9: you know, ranked either second or third in the state, 1497 01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,439 Speaker 9: you know, going into the the sectional and and you know, 1498 01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:32,560 Speaker 9: we'll see what happens from there. But you know, I 1499 01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,759 Speaker 9: I definitely think the talent levels there and and definitely 1500 01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,160 Speaker 9: he's been able to kind of get the uh the 1501 01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:41,439 Speaker 9: feud lit with this team, and yeah, I definitely think 1502 01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,160 Speaker 9: what they're doing is is for real. The you know, 1503 01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:46,920 Speaker 9: just the overall vibe of the team when I was 1504 01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,840 Speaker 9: there for week two, it's it's a very confident group 1505 01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:52,559 Speaker 9: that uh and the town levels is pretty good. I 1506 01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:54,880 Speaker 9: mean they're they're not you know, it's not like they're 1507 01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,400 Speaker 9: doing this with with smoking mirrors either. It's it's a 1508 01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:58,439 Speaker 9: it's a very good team. 1509 01:17:58,800 --> 01:17:58,960 Speaker 8: Kle. 1510 01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:04,240 Speaker 1: Do you remember Napster, the music source Napster that was 1511 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,120 Speaker 1: out like ten fifteen years ago and that went away? Right? 1512 01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,080 Speaker 1: Didn't that go away? Because the lawsuits and things like that. 1513 01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:10,720 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm pretty sure. 1514 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, you've heard of it. No, Well, do you know 1515 01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:14,840 Speaker 1: the reason it went away and why all of the 1516 01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,439 Speaker 1: musicians all banded together? Do you know this is this 1517 01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:19,280 Speaker 1: a pirate joker? 1518 01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:19,559 Speaker 10: No? 1519 01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:20,280 Speaker 2: No, no, no, I'm. 1520 01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,240 Speaker 1: Being serious about Napster here, because it was very serious 1521 01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,640 Speaker 1: stuff at the time. But apparently all of the musicians 1522 01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,599 Speaker 1: were upset because they weren't getting paid and they claimed 1523 01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:28,880 Speaker 1: that everybody was actually just pirate the music. 1524 01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:32,840 Speaker 9: I thought we were maybe headed down that road. I 1525 01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:34,760 Speaker 9: wasn't was entirely sure, but well. 1526 01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:36,959 Speaker 1: You know my favorite Kyle, you know, you know, Pirate's 1527 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:41,160 Speaker 1: favorite letter of the alphabet. Don't you are not the Sea? 1528 01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,080 Speaker 1: You can use that one on the kids. See and again. 1529 01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,040 Speaker 1: I've used that every year for talk like a Pirate Day, 1530 01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:50,599 Speaker 1: But it's the hits that keep on coming and they 1531 01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:51,040 Speaker 1: never get. 1532 01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:52,240 Speaker 2: You're not hanging up, Kyle. 1533 01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:56,320 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, people go nuts for it. I wish 1534 01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,880 Speaker 1: we didn't known Eddie as the producer of the program. 1535 01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:00,720 Speaker 1: You failed me here because if we'd let people know 1536 01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,000 Speaker 1: ahead of time that this was talked like a Pirate Day, 1537 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,519 Speaker 1: I mean, right through, I'm telling you, through the roof 1538 01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:07,840 Speaker 1: is what the ratings would have done today. There's no 1539 01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:10,080 Speaker 1: question about it. Not that Kyle doesn't help in that regard, 1540 01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,880 Speaker 1: but okay, Kyle, one other thing I wanted to ask you. 1541 01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:15,679 Speaker 1: I thought a really good game last weekend between Cathedral 1542 01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:19,480 Speaker 1: and Shatard. That's to be expected with that rivalry. Cathedral 1543 01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:21,840 Speaker 1: is one of those programs that I'll give them credit. 1544 01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,639 Speaker 1: They you know, they go out and they really test themselves, 1545 01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:27,960 Speaker 1: typically early in the year, they take some lumps and 1546 01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:29,800 Speaker 1: then it all kind of comes together for them. That's 1547 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:33,120 Speaker 1: kind of been coach People's and Cathedral's m O. And 1548 01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,280 Speaker 1: I give them credit for that. Is that the case 1549 01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:37,759 Speaker 1: again this year or is this a young team finding itself. 1550 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,599 Speaker 9: No, I think that's the case, although the back half 1551 01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:43,360 Speaker 9: of their schedule is really tough. Also, you know, Center 1552 01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:47,160 Speaker 9: Grow is still looming out there. The Warren Central game 1553 01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:49,960 Speaker 9: is the last game of the year. You know, they 1554 01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:53,160 Speaker 9: they so we'll see, you know, it's kind of a 1555 01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:56,000 Speaker 9: chance for them this week they play Southport, which is 1556 01:19:56,040 --> 01:20:00,040 Speaker 9: struggling this year, but for a chance for them to 1557 01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,240 Speaker 9: probably get a for sure w tonight. But you know, 1558 01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:05,599 Speaker 9: there's some tougher games out there. It's a team that 1559 01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:07,720 Speaker 9: you know, I think they really you know, I know 1560 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,679 Speaker 9: he likes their line play and you know, the guys 1561 01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:13,080 Speaker 9: at front that they have. They're a team that can 1562 01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,519 Speaker 9: run the ball with papus and dangerfield and it's been 1563 01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,840 Speaker 9: a group that you know, I think is probably more 1564 01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:22,240 Speaker 9: built that way too. And then you know, throw off 1565 01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:24,680 Speaker 9: the run a little bit and set up to you know, 1566 01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,479 Speaker 9: kind of set up to pass with the run. But 1567 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:28,560 Speaker 9: I think still a very good team. And you know 1568 01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:30,760 Speaker 9: the thing about you know, they're in five A this year, 1569 01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:32,519 Speaker 9: so it's a little bit of a different route and 1570 01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:35,519 Speaker 9: once they get to the tournament, but man, they're sectional. 1571 01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:37,840 Speaker 9: You know, also everything kind of is building up towards 1572 01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:40,880 Speaker 9: them to play newpal in the sectional and we'll kind 1573 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:42,519 Speaker 9: of see where both teams are by the end of 1574 01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:44,320 Speaker 9: the season. But you know, that's kind of been out 1575 01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:46,559 Speaker 9: there since the beginning, and then playing Field has been 1576 01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,080 Speaker 9: better than probably even better than we expected going in, 1577 01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:52,640 Speaker 9: so they're they're also in that sectional. So you have 1578 01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:56,240 Speaker 9: those three teams just kind of sitting out there knowing that, 1579 01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:58,559 Speaker 9: you know, you're kind of waiting for the secual draw 1580 01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:00,360 Speaker 9: to happen to see when they're going to play each other, 1581 01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:04,000 Speaker 9: because those are three of the top you know, check 1582 01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:06,960 Speaker 9: where Playingfield is number three this week actually one spot 1583 01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:08,679 Speaker 9: a head of Cathedral. So three of the top four 1584 01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:11,280 Speaker 9: teams in the state and five are in the same 1585 01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:14,280 Speaker 9: sectional there. So everything kind of leads to that if 1586 01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:16,519 Speaker 9: you stay healthy, if Cathedral can stay healthy, I think 1587 01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:18,759 Speaker 9: they'll be right, you know, in that mix for sure. 1588 01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:20,800 Speaker 9: And you know, however they stack up with those two 1589 01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:24,080 Speaker 9: teams will tell the tale. Whoever wins that sectional could 1590 01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:24,960 Speaker 9: win state for sure. 1591 01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:27,680 Speaker 1: And also we want to wish the best of luck 1592 01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:29,680 Speaker 1: tonight to Crystal House. I said at the beginning of 1593 01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:31,800 Speaker 1: the year that we're going to try to you know, 1594 01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:34,360 Speaker 1: just wish them luck each and every week. Those are 1595 01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:36,599 Speaker 1: kids that are trying to kind of build a program. 1596 01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:36,880 Speaker 8: There. 1597 01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:40,360 Speaker 1: They have Irvington Prep tonight at seven o'clock. Irvington Prep. 1598 01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,439 Speaker 1: Is that game?

Yes, now I noticed that you're 1662 01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:21,200 Speaker 1: actually on the ship.

And you're gonna say, huh, 1666 01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,720 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that. So Eddie, I know you've been 1667 01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:38,080 Speaker 1: pondering it over the course of the commercial break, pondering 1668 01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:42,880 Speaker 1: what what is the difference between Indiana and a pirate? 1669 01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:46,680 Speaker 1: I made this joke up off the top of my head. 1670 01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:50,000 Speaker 1: That's how I mean, just boom. It just came to me. Literally, 1671 01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here. You might have even seen like like 1672 01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:56,960 Speaker 1: like ferry dust just came into my head right there, 1673 01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:01,200 Speaker 1: top of my head. And you're thinking, I know you 1674 01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:01,760 Speaker 1: are right. 1675 01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:03,600 Speaker 2: No, I'm really not. 1676 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,120 Speaker 1: The difference between a pirate in Indiana is in your. 1677 01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:12,840 Speaker 2: Sense the level of enthusiasm in my voice. And I'm 1678 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:16,320 Speaker 2: thrilled to hear what the difference is between a pirate 1679 01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:17,120 Speaker 2: in Indiana. 1680 01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:21,439 Speaker 1: Listen, what I'm concerned about is our audience. And I 1681 01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:24,560 Speaker 1: can feel right now, I just got an alert on 1682 01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:26,320 Speaker 1: my phone that said the humidity outside went out. No, 1683 01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:27,719 Speaker 1: that's not humidity, that's tension. 1684 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:28,519 Speaker 2: Okay. 1685 01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,960 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you. The difference, of course, would be 1686 01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:34,960 Speaker 1: the fact that that Indiana has two eyes. 1687 01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,360 Speaker 2: See see how I did that. I just made that 1688 01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:43,040 Speaker 2: up right there my head. Ah, that's a good one, Anthony. 1689 01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:46,680 Speaker 2: On the text line, there's no c in Indiana. 1690 01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:52,040 Speaker 1: That's good too. See See now you're going right. 1691 01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:56,920 Speaker 2: I'm not doing anything that was Anthony. Someone did text 1692 01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:58,880 Speaker 2: in Jake, maybe me. Now we know why Shannon hasn't 1693 01:25:58,880 --> 01:25:59,639 Speaker 2: taken the big step. 1694 01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:04,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't know that. I haven't asked and she 1695 01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:07,080 Speaker 1: didn't say, yeah, I need a little more time. Oh 1696 01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:12,040 Speaker 1: come on, that's entirely possible, is it not. She might 1697 01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:13,519 Speaker 1: be still exploring her options. 1698 01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:17,360 Speaker 2: You're telling me if you proposed and she turned you down, 1699 01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:18,280 Speaker 2: you would stay with her. 1700 01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:24,680 Speaker 1: Listen, we already said I outkicked my coverage last night. 1701 01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:28,080 Speaker 1: I thought a really good game, and I made mention 1702 01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:30,800 Speaker 1: of it earlier. And we're going to Kevin Bowen going 1703 01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:32,080 Speaker 1: to join us here in just a couple of minutes 1704 01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,400 Speaker 1: and we'll get into the Colts Titans and run down 1705 01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:39,640 Speaker 1: some of the things from that game. But this the 1706 01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,400 Speaker 1: Indiana fever, and I get it, as I mentioned earlier, 1707 01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,120 Speaker 1: I get the fact that you want to hear this 1708 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,360 Speaker 1: program because you want to hear primarily talking about the 1709 01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:49,120 Speaker 1: NFL and the Colts. And I certainly understand and respect 1710 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:54,200 Speaker 1: and appreciate and acknowledge all of that. No, people do 1711 01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:57,240 Speaker 1: love the pirate stuff though a lot of people this 1712 01:26:57,360 --> 01:26:59,800 Speaker 1: weekend just want to see the Tampa game just for 1713 01:26:59,880 --> 01:27:00,400 Speaker 1: that reason. 1714 01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:01,760 Speaker 6: But the. 1715 01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:08,320 Speaker 1: Last night. The Fever, they were kind of chasing it 1716 01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:11,479 Speaker 1: all night. They got down early, they were down seven 1717 01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:13,160 Speaker 1: towards the end of the half. They cut that down. 1718 01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:16,360 Speaker 1: Then they came out and they they got it close 1719 01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:18,760 Speaker 1: to start the second half, and then Atlanta just kind 1720 01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:20,640 Speaker 1: of kept it in that five to seven range for 1721 01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:24,360 Speaker 1: the better part of the second half until the midway 1722 01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:27,000 Speaker 1: through the fourth. The Fever tied the game up. Atlanta 1723 01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:29,240 Speaker 1: immediately went on a five nothing run, and the Fever 1724 01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:30,800 Speaker 1: then got themselves down again. 1725 01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:33,240 Speaker 2: With two thirty left, it was eighty five to eighty 1726 01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:37,560 Speaker 2: and they yeah, they Ryan Howard had just hit a 1727 01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:40,519 Speaker 2: big three to put Atlanta up by five. 1728 01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:44,160 Speaker 1: They closed on a seven to nothing run to win it. Yes, 1729 01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:47,040 Speaker 1: but they tied the game with six i think six 1730 01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,960 Speaker 1: h six left, and for nearly three minutes they went 1731 01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:54,559 Speaker 1: without a basket and it was frustrating because they were 1732 01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:57,080 Speaker 1: getting stops, but they just could not get over that 1733 01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,360 Speaker 1: hump and tie it up. And they were down to 1734 01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:03,760 Speaker 1: four to twenty six to go, and Atlanta had a 1735 01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:05,880 Speaker 1: possession that went out of bounds right in front of 1736 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:10,280 Speaker 1: the Fever bench, and that bench erupted like and they 1737 01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:15,240 Speaker 1: were in the midst of an anguish and a frustrating 1738 01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:17,920 Speaker 1: stretch where they just could not get baskets. But they 1739 01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:19,840 Speaker 1: got to stop right in front of the bench and 1740 01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:23,599 Speaker 1: the bench exploded. And I thought to myself, right then, 1741 01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:26,040 Speaker 1: this team is going to win. This team is going 1742 01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:29,240 Speaker 1: to win because they have a resiliency, not only with 1743 01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:32,400 Speaker 1: that roster of players, many of which began the year 1744 01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:33,640 Speaker 1: not knowing if they were going to be in the 1745 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:38,080 Speaker 1: WNBA this year, but also a resiliency of a team that, 1746 01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:40,439 Speaker 1: knowing that they have had a lot of injuries, have 1747 01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:42,800 Speaker 1: just continued to fight back. And I know that the 1748 01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:45,360 Speaker 1: WNBA is not the NFL in this town in terms 1749 01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:47,880 Speaker 1: of popularity or rank. I know that the Fever are 1750 01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:51,240 Speaker 1: not the Pacers in terms of household names. But it 1751 01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:54,080 Speaker 1: embodied what it is about this city that I think 1752 01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:56,720 Speaker 1: that we can come together to celebrate. And that was 1753 01:28:57,200 --> 01:29:01,080 Speaker 1: a collective effort of people from different backgrounds. We all 1754 01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:02,080 Speaker 1: represent the same thing. 1755 01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:06,240 Speaker 2: And why not Indiana you manifested it on Wednesday during 1756 01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,760 Speaker 2: our chat with Stephanie White. You put her on the 1757 01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:09,679 Speaker 2: hook for another visit. 1758 01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:15,080 Speaker 1: Yep, and here we go righte some in sync speaking 1759 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:17,680 Speaker 1: of another visit, Kevin Bowen owes us one and he'll 1760 01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:22,800 Speaker 1: do it next. Colts and Titans coming up in Nashville 1761 01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:29,479 Speaker 1: on Sunday, and for the Colts for the most part, 1762 01:29:29,720 --> 01:29:34,519 Speaker 1: looking pretty good from a health standpoint. Tyler Warren yesterday 1763 01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:37,400 Speaker 1: was limited in practice. Leatsu Latu looks like is going 1764 01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:40,280 Speaker 1: to be a go joining us now on the show, 1765 01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:43,519 Speaker 1: and a guy that I am fairly certain because I 1766 01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:46,080 Speaker 1: think he only had to endure one or two. Matter 1767 01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:47,960 Speaker 1: of fact, I think he got a reprieve because one 1768 01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:50,479 Speaker 1: of the years that we were doing the morning show together, 1769 01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:52,679 Speaker 1: I believe Talked Like a Pirate Day fell on the weekend, 1770 01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:54,760 Speaker 1: so he was spared in that regard. The other time, 1771 01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:56,360 Speaker 1: I think he and Mark tried to keep it from me, 1772 01:29:57,120 --> 01:30:01,080 Speaker 1: but word got out from my smartest pirate petrot that 1773 01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:03,880 Speaker 1: on the shoulder. Let me know, Kevin vote, I'm sure 1774 01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:05,760 Speaker 1: thrilled to not be doing the show today with me 1775 01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:07,599 Speaker 1: on Talk Like a Pirate Day. Hi, Kevin. 1776 01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:11,960 Speaker 10: Yeah, happy hours starting earlier on this Friday after I 1777 01:30:12,120 --> 01:30:12,519 Speaker 10: just got. 1778 01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:12,920 Speaker 3: A window of that. 1779 01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:16,479 Speaker 1: Did you did you say a happy hour? 1780 01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:20,640 Speaker 3: By the way, Yeah, gosh, go ahead, No, I was just. 1781 01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:22,400 Speaker 1: Gonna say, I mean, if you for you know, you 1782 01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:26,439 Speaker 1: might just say get yourself a coke that obviously goes 1783 01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:28,000 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? 1784 01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:32,040 Speaker 10: Eddy Garret said, I'm thinking about your brother. 1785 01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:34,920 Speaker 2: I'm just thankful you have a hung up. You're helping 1786 01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:35,519 Speaker 2: me get through this. 1787 01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,519 Speaker 8: Yeah, final hour. Here we are, Kevin. 1788 01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:43,960 Speaker 1: I thought last night, I I was curious, and I 1789 01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:47,920 Speaker 1: know that we're only two weeks into the season, but 1790 01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:54,640 Speaker 1: Miami last night and maybe, you know, maybe Buffalo schematically 1791 01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:56,680 Speaker 1: took things off the gas. I don't know, but I 1792 01:30:56,800 --> 01:30:59,120 Speaker 1: thought that it was an encouraging sign for the Colts 1793 01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:05,080 Speaker 1: because I mean, the Colts absolutely annihilated Miami. I mean, 1794 01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:07,960 Speaker 1: Miami was never in that game. And it's the opening week, 1795 01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:10,680 Speaker 1: so you just don't know. But with each week you're 1796 01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:14,439 Speaker 1: trying to find out more and more how legitimate the 1797 01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:18,880 Speaker 1: perceptions are of a team. And I thought last night 1798 01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:20,960 Speaker 1: what that showed was that, you know what, maybe the 1799 01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:25,040 Speaker 1: Colts are legit, because you know, maybe Miami is in 1800 01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:29,760 Speaker 1: fact more competent than we give them credit. But this week, 1801 01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:32,240 Speaker 1: in terms of Week three, is going to tell us 1802 01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:36,360 Speaker 1: a lot, because I don't think Tennessee's very good at all. Right, 1803 01:31:36,920 --> 01:31:39,559 Speaker 1: But wouldn't it be the sign of a young team 1804 01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:41,759 Speaker 1: to start out two and zero or a team feeling 1805 01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:44,320 Speaker 1: its way and then go down and stub their toe. 1806 01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:47,320 Speaker 1: This could be a real opportunity for them to go 1807 01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:49,840 Speaker 1: three and oh. I just want your thoughts on what 1808 01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:53,360 Speaker 1: you think of Tennessee and in addition, just what you 1809 01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:55,360 Speaker 1: think of the Colts approach going into it. 1810 01:31:56,800 --> 01:31:57,000 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1811 01:31:57,120 --> 01:31:58,519 Speaker 10: I think it's a big, just kind of take care 1812 01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:02,479 Speaker 10: of business week game, you know, be a professional, be disciplined. 1813 01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:04,160 Speaker 10: That's the word change second to use the whole time 1814 01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:07,479 Speaker 10: this week. You know, it's not one of these I 1815 01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:09,680 Speaker 10: don't like people have brought a lot of This is 1816 01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:12,400 Speaker 10: a trap game. I'm like a week three trap game. 1817 01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:15,800 Speaker 10: Your your first road game of the year, your first divisional. 1818 01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:15,920 Speaker 3: Game of the year. 1819 01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:19,479 Speaker 10: I can't play like a to me. In order for 1820 01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:21,479 Speaker 10: you to have trap games on your schedule, that means 1821 01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:24,479 Speaker 10: you need to have been good in recent years, good 1822 01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:24,880 Speaker 10: to great. 1823 01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:25,160 Speaker 8: You know. 1824 01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:27,320 Speaker 10: I kind of look at trap games as hey, it's 1825 01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:29,920 Speaker 10: a ten week grind and in week seven or eight, 1826 01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:33,880 Speaker 10: you know, Sandwich the Jets around the Eagles and the Chiefs, 1827 01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:36,920 Speaker 10: or you know, the Eagles and the Bill something like that. 1828 01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:39,360 Speaker 10: So I don't view it in that light, but I 1829 01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:41,439 Speaker 10: do view it in you are a road favorite. It 1830 01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:43,439 Speaker 10: is a rookie quarterback. You are going to be in 1831 01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:45,360 Speaker 10: an atmosphere that I would call one of the least 1832 01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:48,960 Speaker 10: hostile in the NFL. You need to go down there, 1833 01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:51,120 Speaker 10: and you know, again, just take care of business. And 1834 01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:54,080 Speaker 10: the NFL presents some of these on the schedule. It's 1835 01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:57,519 Speaker 10: not maybe the greatest January indicator, but it counts as 1836 01:32:57,640 --> 01:32:59,800 Speaker 10: one of the w's or one of the l's. And 1837 01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:02,160 Speaker 10: when you only have seventeen of them, all of them 1838 01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:04,720 Speaker 10: carry some weight, and the division ones carry you know, 1839 01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:07,320 Speaker 10: more weight. So yeah, I think it's just kind of, 1840 01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:09,559 Speaker 10: you know, a little business. The approach from the Colts 1841 01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:11,040 Speaker 10: here coming up Sunday at one o'clock. 1842 01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:15,719 Speaker 1: Let's get to the I guess the health status, Kevin. 1843 01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:17,479 Speaker 1: I mean, I mentioned the two big ones that Warren 1844 01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:21,320 Speaker 1: and Leatu. Where else do we stand in terms of, 1845 01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:23,840 Speaker 1: you know, who's expected to be in, who may be out, 1846 01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:24,360 Speaker 1: et cetera. 1847 01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:29,000 Speaker 10: Well, no Colts player was ruled out for the game, 1848 01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:31,479 Speaker 10: so that's obviously a good sign. 1849 01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:34,400 Speaker 3: Tchaverius Ward has a. 1850 01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:38,759 Speaker 10: Clearance from an independent neurologist and that is his final step. 1851 01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:40,720 Speaker 3: So assuming he's good to go. 1852 01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:41,840 Speaker 10: There, he should be back. 1853 01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:42,320 Speaker 3: And I guess. 1854 01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:45,719 Speaker 10: Kind of the question now becomes, you know, with Tyler Warren, 1855 01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:49,280 Speaker 10: with you know, maybe Josh Downsis laugh too, OTSU. You know, 1856 01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:51,680 Speaker 10: for the it looked like all these guys practice the 1857 01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:53,720 Speaker 10: final two days of the week. That's usually a great 1858 01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:55,720 Speaker 10: sign that they'll play in the game. I think now 1859 01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:58,040 Speaker 10: the question becomes how much do they play in the game? 1860 01:33:58,080 --> 01:34:03,000 Speaker 10: Like Tyler Warren played sixty six on Sunday against the Broncos. 1861 01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:06,720 Speaker 10: That is a massive number for a tight end. So 1862 01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:10,599 Speaker 10: you know, are you comfortable giving him that number again 1863 01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:13,840 Speaker 10: on Sunday if needed? Or do you you know, kind 1864 01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:16,479 Speaker 10: of hold him back and maybe pitch count him a 1865 01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:18,479 Speaker 10: little bit more. Same thing with lots of you know, 1866 01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:21,640 Speaker 10: are you keeping him to only third down reps? Are 1867 01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:25,639 Speaker 10: you all you know first and second him as well? 1868 01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:27,240 Speaker 10: So I think those are some of the questions. But 1869 01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:30,320 Speaker 10: you know, unless you know lots of probably is the 1870 01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:32,639 Speaker 10: one giving it the hamstring and you know he's only 1871 01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:35,080 Speaker 10: been out for a week, you know, unless the don't 1872 01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:37,320 Speaker 10: feel comfortable throwing him out there, I would think the 1873 01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:37,880 Speaker 10: cults are going. 1874 01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:39,240 Speaker 3: To be pretty healthy here in Week three. 1875 01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:41,840 Speaker 10: It more just comes down to, you know, how many 1876 01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:43,400 Speaker 10: plays they want to give some of those guys. 1877 01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:46,000 Speaker 1: Kevin Bowen is our guest. You of course hear him 1878 01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:49,400 Speaker 1: in the morning along with jeff Rickord and James Boyd 1879 01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:52,680 Speaker 1: on the Fan Morning Show, also on WISH Television with 1880 01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:55,760 Speaker 1: Anthony Calhoun weekly talking about the Colts and in that vein, 1881 01:34:56,520 --> 01:34:58,799 Speaker 1: I have seen Kevin that you have been very bullish 1882 01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:01,880 Speaker 1: on and I know it's just two games on Daniel 1883 01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:05,240 Speaker 1: Jones and what he's done, and I think still you 1884 01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:07,680 Speaker 1: find yourself like like rubbing your eyes, like is this 1885 01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:10,320 Speaker 1: is this? I'm really seeing this here because the level 1886 01:35:10,360 --> 01:35:12,960 Speaker 1: of play that he has played, is it sustainable? 1887 01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:15,120 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1888 01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:20,120 Speaker 10: That kind of I thought the analogy was you know 1889 01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:22,519 Speaker 10: pretty well that you just did. They are pretty good 1890 01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:24,160 Speaker 10: and in the sense of it is kind of like 1891 01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:27,320 Speaker 10: rub your eyes, you know, the culture two and L. 1892 01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:29,960 Speaker 10: I don't think that's like the most shocking element. It's 1893 01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:31,519 Speaker 10: more of how are they two and oh? And they're 1894 01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:33,639 Speaker 10: largely two and OL because of Daniel Jones and because 1895 01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:36,599 Speaker 10: of their offense, because of Shane Saken's play calling. All 1896 01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:40,519 Speaker 10: of that that I think is what is truly truly impressive. 1897 01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:42,960 Speaker 10: I thought the Denver game was a big step in 1898 01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:45,759 Speaker 10: the Oh my gosh, he's making some of these throws 1899 01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:48,519 Speaker 10: that are not just clean pockets. You know, you brought 1900 01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:51,200 Speaker 10: up Miami earlier. I thought that Miami game he just 1901 01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:54,960 Speaker 10: benefited Daniel Jones, that is from such a clean operation 1902 01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:56,680 Speaker 10: in front of them. I mean that's not always going 1903 01:35:56,760 --> 01:35:58,559 Speaker 10: to be the case. And you know, you go back 1904 01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:01,120 Speaker 10: to that first throw of the game on Sunday, I 1905 01:36:01,160 --> 01:36:03,400 Speaker 10: mean that is a muddy pocket. He hangs in there 1906 01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:05,960 Speaker 10: and delivers one day touchdowns for. 1907 01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:06,679 Speaker 3: A huge play. 1908 01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:08,360 Speaker 10: I mean, those are some of the plays where you 1909 01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:11,360 Speaker 10: start to you know, teer out quarterbacks and you know, 1910 01:36:11,439 --> 01:36:13,599 Speaker 10: you start to kind of rank them a little bit. 1911 01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:15,760 Speaker 10: That's what separates a lot of these guys. And now 1912 01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:18,920 Speaker 10: the question is, all right, more film is out there. 1913 01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:21,080 Speaker 10: You know, how are you gonna deliver on the road? 1914 01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:22,920 Speaker 10: How are you going to deliver you know, in third 1915 01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:26,280 Speaker 10: down two minutes? You know, with how the game played out, 1916 01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:28,160 Speaker 10: Jane Sigon didn't have him throw the whole. 1917 01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:30,080 Speaker 8: Ball a whole lot there in the final. 1918 01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:31,840 Speaker 10: You know, five or ten minutes of that game. But 1919 01:36:32,280 --> 01:36:35,000 Speaker 10: you know, obviously as the season plays along, he's going 1920 01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:35,639 Speaker 10: to be in more. 1921 01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:37,120 Speaker 3: And more of those moments and he's going to have 1922 01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:37,759 Speaker 3: to deliver. 1923 01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:41,160 Speaker 10: So I would say Game two for me, bless you 1924 01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:43,200 Speaker 10: by the way, I don't say Game two for me. 1925 01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:47,360 Speaker 3: Showed a little bit more on the wow. 1926 01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:50,760 Speaker 10: This you know might be something, but you know, as 1927 01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:53,840 Speaker 10: we know of the NFL, it's September nineteenth, and there'll 1928 01:36:53,880 --> 01:36:55,720 Speaker 10: be a whole lot more checkpoints and a whole lot 1929 01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:57,360 Speaker 10: more Can you string it together? Can you do it 1930 01:36:57,400 --> 01:37:00,320 Speaker 10: away from home? A lot more on the evaluation hard? 1931 01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:02,640 Speaker 10: So don't if I can kind of slam me, uh 1932 01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:05,280 Speaker 10: you know, build a statue next to Peyton yet. But 1933 01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:08,040 Speaker 10: I have been wildly impressed by the first two weeks. 1934 01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:09,960 Speaker 1: You know the do you believe Kevin that as we 1935 01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:13,360 Speaker 1: go along here that they will more open up the 1936 01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:17,400 Speaker 1: offense for Daniel Jones And because you know they are starting, 1937 01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:19,680 Speaker 1: we're starting to see he does have arm and he's 1938 01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:24,040 Speaker 1: not afraid to show that. But does is Shane Stiken 1939 01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:26,560 Speaker 1: played this close to the best so far offensively? 1940 01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:33,360 Speaker 10: Uh? No, I mean I think he's I think dandel Joe, 1941 01:37:33,439 --> 01:37:36,320 Speaker 10: I mean, outside of like designed runs that Anthony Richardson 1942 01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:38,880 Speaker 10: you would have, I think Danda Jones allows him to 1943 01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:42,200 Speaker 10: tap into much more of the Cheesecake Factory playbook menu 1944 01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:45,240 Speaker 10: than the you know whatever steak and shake menu that 1945 01:37:45,439 --> 01:37:48,559 Speaker 10: you know, Anthony Richardson might have available to him. 1946 01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:50,600 Speaker 3: And I think he trusts him. Have you know a 1947 01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:51,280 Speaker 3: ton of plays with. 1948 01:37:51,280 --> 01:37:54,400 Speaker 10: The line of scrimmage And yeah, I think Daniel Jones 1949 01:37:54,479 --> 01:37:59,080 Speaker 10: is pretty football nerdy and Shane Syken is uber football nerdy, 1950 01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:01,639 Speaker 10: so I think he really enjoys that, and I think 1951 01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:02,920 Speaker 10: he really tries to tap into that. 1952 01:38:03,040 --> 01:38:05,880 Speaker 3: And I think the Colts feel like they have a. 1953 01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:09,680 Speaker 10: Big advantage chess match wise X and o's Monday through 1954 01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:13,600 Speaker 10: Saturday even Sunday, some of the prestat stuff and identifying 1955 01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:16,960 Speaker 10: things and knowing what coverage is coming and boom, here's 1956 01:38:17,080 --> 01:38:19,599 Speaker 10: the first read. And you know, here are the answers 1957 01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:22,360 Speaker 10: if we get this sort of coverage. So, you know, again, 1958 01:38:22,439 --> 01:38:25,240 Speaker 10: in the football nerdy atmosphere, I think quarterback, head coach, 1959 01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:28,960 Speaker 10: play callerwise, I think the Colts feel like they walk 1960 01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:31,320 Speaker 10: into they walk into games here in twenty twenty five 1961 01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:32,840 Speaker 10: with the advantage more often than not. 1962 01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:35,080 Speaker 1: Do you consider yourself football nerdy? 1963 01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:37,280 Speaker 6: Uh? 1964 01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:39,479 Speaker 10: I mean I think I'm a nerd, but no, I 1965 01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:43,479 Speaker 10: mean not the I mean pain Shane Steickel, Shane Shane 1966 01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:45,760 Speaker 10: stikeens that you know he's in he's in Oxford, or 1967 01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:48,080 Speaker 10: he's at you know, some IVY league level. 1968 01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:50,920 Speaker 3: I mean that man, Yeah, I mean. 1969 01:38:52,360 --> 01:38:56,920 Speaker 10: His football intellect is you know, you with whatever Indy 1970 01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:00,640 Speaker 10: five hundred history, or you with cologne or watch this. 1971 01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:05,679 Speaker 1: Fair enough. I actually take that as a compliment, Kevin. 1972 01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you. By the way, somebody 1973 01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:08,640 Speaker 1: said you were making fun of me yesterday. Did you 1974 01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:09,920 Speaker 1: guys do the mayonnaise thing again? 1975 01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:11,760 Speaker 8: Oh? 1976 01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:12,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, we did. 1977 01:39:12,479 --> 01:39:16,160 Speaker 10: We did the well, we didn't do the actual Mayo plot, 1978 01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:19,680 Speaker 10: but we played the audio of the plot, just a 1979 01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:23,160 Speaker 10: great acoustic if yes, thank you, gosh, ed you were 1980 01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:25,599 Speaker 10: on that, Thank you? Can I hear that one more time? 1981 01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:32,639 Speaker 10: Thatdy gosh, that's just beautiful, just a ring in my ear. Yeah, 1982 01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:34,840 Speaker 10: so will Levis. Of course Mayo and his coffee. For 1983 01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:38,040 Speaker 10: those unfamiliar with that story, I believe Jake and I 1984 01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:42,200 Speaker 10: and Mark decided that well, I think it was Mark 1985 01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:44,160 Speaker 10: and I mainly decided. We tried to kind of peer 1986 01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:48,160 Speaker 10: pressure Jake into it to have to drink coffee with 1987 01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:51,400 Speaker 10: Mayo in it. If Will Levis started a game against 1988 01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:53,920 Speaker 10: the Colts, I want to say you started too. So 1989 01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:56,280 Speaker 10: I think we had two instances, and I want to say, 1990 01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:58,320 Speaker 10: you did one of those faking COVID things like you 1991 01:39:58,360 --> 01:40:00,479 Speaker 10: did like you know, I remember when you COVID. 1992 01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:03,840 Speaker 1: You know what that was, Yeah, that they had COVID. 1993 01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:07,240 Speaker 1: Remember during the ship beating contest, I did the mayonnaise. 1994 01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:08,600 Speaker 1: I did it? 1995 01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:10,320 Speaker 3: Did you do it both times? 1996 01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:11,320 Speaker 5: No? 1997 01:40:11,479 --> 01:40:13,040 Speaker 1: You guys only did it? Did you do it twice? 1998 01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:13,800 Speaker 1: I did it once. 1999 01:40:14,760 --> 01:40:16,040 Speaker 3: I think we did it twice. Yeah. 2000 01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:19,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, and you know, back then, I've never liked coffee, 2001 01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:23,280 Speaker 1: And then I started getting samples at Indy car races 2002 01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:25,280 Speaker 1: from Java House, and now I drink Java House like 2003 01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:27,120 Speaker 1: it's going out of style, just for what it's worth. 2004 01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:29,040 Speaker 1: But not with mayonnaise, because mayonnaise is horrific. 2005 01:40:29,360 --> 01:40:33,400 Speaker 10: Right, uh shout out to the head carpenter, Raking, say, 2006 01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:37,040 Speaker 10: the top of that coffee with the mayonnaise, it looked 2007 01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:39,960 Speaker 10: like a it looked like it was like a State 2008 01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:41,040 Speaker 10: Fair porter party. 2009 01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:44,760 Speaker 1: On David fourteen. It was rough, man, it was rough. 2010 01:40:44,960 --> 01:40:47,800 Speaker 1: I remember. I believe Mark's line was that'll put some 2011 01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:48,839 Speaker 1: lead in your pencil. 2012 01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:51,479 Speaker 10: It was. 2013 01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:55,240 Speaker 1: It was rough. I remember I believe you took the 2014 01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:58,720 Speaker 1: first sip, so Will Levis that was you know, during 2015 01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:02,000 Speaker 1: that to rehash that, yes, he was rubored to be 2016 01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:05,960 Speaker 1: coming to the Colts. When you did it, Mark, I 2017 01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:09,519 Speaker 1: remember you saying like, oh gosh, it like curdled right away. 2018 01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:13,280 Speaker 10: Right, Oh yeah, my gaggery, I mean like gagory flushed. 2019 01:41:13,439 --> 01:41:16,320 Speaker 10: I can feel myself all of a sudden reflushed. 2020 01:41:16,360 --> 01:41:17,320 Speaker 8: It was right now. 2021 01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:20,360 Speaker 10: I was not that I root for injury for any player, 2022 01:41:20,439 --> 01:41:21,920 Speaker 10: but when will Levis I saw I was going to 2023 01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:24,080 Speaker 10: miss the whole season due to a shoulder injury. Let's 2024 01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:26,800 Speaker 10: just say it wasn't into the world thinking about having 2025 01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:29,120 Speaker 10: to consume any more Mayo in the in the coffee. 2026 01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:32,519 Speaker 1: How many games in the NFL in his career remaining 2027 01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:34,040 Speaker 1: do you believe will Levis starts? 2028 01:41:37,280 --> 01:41:38,599 Speaker 3: Oh boy, that's a good one. 2029 01:41:40,320 --> 01:41:42,519 Speaker 10: I will say over under a three and a half. 2030 01:41:42,640 --> 01:41:44,280 Speaker 1: I was gonna say over under a five. I mean, 2031 01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:46,760 Speaker 1: Malik Willis still gets a start here and there. You know, 2032 01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:48,559 Speaker 1: I could see him in that kind of a role, right. 2033 01:41:49,960 --> 01:41:52,680 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean somebody's back up. I mean it's wa mean, 2034 01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:55,040 Speaker 10: Carson went six straight years. There's got to be a 2035 01:41:55,080 --> 01:41:58,160 Speaker 10: Fitzpatrick or McCown still hanging around somewhere. 2036 01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:00,880 Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like Jacoby sets turned into the 2037 01:42:00,960 --> 01:42:01,320 Speaker 3: new one. 2038 01:42:01,680 --> 01:42:04,400 Speaker 10: Yeah, of like, you know, he's now just made great 2039 01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:07,880 Speaker 10: money as this backup quarterback. So uh yeah, love is 2040 01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:10,839 Speaker 10: certainly not in Tennessee, but you know somebody will bring. 2041 01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:12,320 Speaker 3: Him in and you know somebody will get hurt. 2042 01:42:12,439 --> 01:42:14,599 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota has become that guy as well. 2043 01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:16,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting on Sunday. 2044 01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:20,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, he is starting in Washington, isn't he right? 2045 01:42:20,439 --> 01:42:20,639 Speaker 9: Yeah? 2046 01:42:20,680 --> 01:42:22,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Eddie, you had a defensive question. 2047 01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:25,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, keV Jake and I were talking about this Monday, 2048 01:42:25,720 --> 01:42:27,240 Speaker 2: and I think you and I touched on it on 2049 01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:30,639 Speaker 2: the Monday Recap pod. But you look at this Colts 2050 01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:34,479 Speaker 2: defense specifically on the line, and I'm gonna get into 2051 01:42:34,520 --> 01:42:37,320 Speaker 2: a little bit of a nerdy statistic here, so bear 2052 01:42:37,400 --> 01:42:40,960 Speaker 2: with me. ESPN has like past what past rush win 2053 01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:45,200 Speaker 2: rate percentages and run stop win rate percentages? According to 2054 01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:48,000 Speaker 2: their you know, however they evaluate these things. The Colts 2055 01:42:48,080 --> 01:42:51,720 Speaker 2: rank thirty second nineteen percent past rush win win rate 2056 01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:54,240 Speaker 2: and twenty fifth in the NFL twenty seven percent of 2057 01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:57,479 Speaker 2: run stop win Right. If that's something this Colts defensive 2058 01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:03,160 Speaker 2: line can't do on Sunday against cam Ward, like like 2059 01:43:03,280 --> 01:43:06,760 Speaker 2: Los Angeles and Denver has so far I think that's 2060 01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:09,160 Speaker 2: where the trap game element that you were talking about, 2061 01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:11,760 Speaker 2: which it comes into play, just because this may be 2062 01:43:11,960 --> 01:43:15,240 Speaker 2: the one time in his career so far where Ward 2063 01:43:15,320 --> 01:43:17,160 Speaker 2: may have some time in the pocket to find the 2064 01:43:17,240 --> 01:43:19,840 Speaker 2: open guy or they may be able to start running 2065 01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:21,559 Speaker 2: the ball effectively. With Tony Pollard. 2066 01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:25,360 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I think from a word standpoint about 2067 01:43:25,360 --> 01:43:27,519 Speaker 10: Sunday would be this Pollard I think has forced the 2068 01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:28,880 Speaker 10: most miss tackles in the league so. 2069 01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:29,960 Speaker 3: Far of any running back. 2070 01:43:30,040 --> 01:43:32,120 Speaker 10: I don't need to bring up the infamous third and 2071 01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:35,439 Speaker 10: nineteen touchdown Tony Pollard scored last year where the Colts 2072 01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:38,720 Speaker 10: just tackled horrifically on the play probably honestly ended the 2073 01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:41,840 Speaker 10: ghost Bradley tenure. And then camp Ward. You know, you 2074 01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:44,400 Speaker 10: saw the touchdown last week. You know it has the 2075 01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:46,880 Speaker 10: backyard element to it. You know, that would probably be 2076 01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:50,720 Speaker 10: the one thing. But you know, maybe the most disappointing 2077 01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:54,880 Speaker 10: aspect of the Cult season so far is probably the 2078 01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:57,439 Speaker 10: pass rush and just in general, Eddie, I'd say a 2079 01:43:57,520 --> 01:44:00,200 Speaker 10: defensive front and their playmaking. You know, I just not 2080 01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:02,360 Speaker 10: count and linebackers are including this. 2081 01:44:02,439 --> 01:44:02,880 Speaker 1: I can't. 2082 01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:06,200 Speaker 10: I don't remember many plays at all in the first 2083 01:44:06,240 --> 01:44:09,080 Speaker 10: two weeks. So I didn't think that's an area where 2084 01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:12,439 Speaker 10: tennessee their O line is not good. And I think 2085 01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:14,559 Speaker 10: if you asked the Colts they would have a. 2086 01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:15,960 Speaker 8: Whole lot of Yes. 2087 01:44:16,200 --> 01:44:18,559 Speaker 3: We have a wide grin and big ol'. 2088 01:44:18,520 --> 01:44:22,280 Speaker 10: Eyes thinking about the possibilities of getting after cam Ward. 2089 01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:24,640 Speaker 10: So kind of a get right game there. Again, go 2090 01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:26,400 Speaker 10: back to the first point we had. I don't know 2091 01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:27,840 Speaker 10: if like that all of a sudden means oh, the 2092 01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:30,439 Speaker 10: pass rush is fixed. You don't have to bring some 2093 01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:32,280 Speaker 10: things together and prove it week in and week out. 2094 01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:35,000 Speaker 10: But you play what shows up on Sunday. And this 2095 01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:36,160 Speaker 10: is what the opportunity is. 2096 01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:38,400 Speaker 2: I ask you that because in week one J T. 2097 01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:40,680 Speaker 2: Truy Moloa, who they just used a second round pick 2098 01:44:40,760 --> 01:44:43,120 Speaker 2: on in the April draft, was a healthy scratch. He 2099 01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:46,200 Speaker 2: was active last week because of Law two being sidelined 2100 01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:49,120 Speaker 2: with the hammy. He played five snaps. What does a 2101 01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:51,320 Speaker 2: player like him have to do to get on the field. 2102 01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:53,800 Speaker 2: Just because this isn't a guy they took in the 2103 01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:55,400 Speaker 2: fifth or the sixth round. This is a guy that 2104 01:44:55,479 --> 01:44:58,200 Speaker 2: they used a premium pick on who not only was 2105 01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:01,439 Speaker 2: not playing at some non five directional school, he was 2106 01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:03,760 Speaker 2: playing at Ohio State and he was productive for the 2107 01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:04,679 Speaker 2: national champions. 2108 01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:05,720 Speaker 8: Yeah. 2109 01:45:05,720 --> 01:45:06,599 Speaker 3: I think that's a great point. 2110 01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:08,200 Speaker 10: The final point that you bring there, I mean three 2111 01:45:08,280 --> 01:45:11,080 Speaker 10: year starter and I mean had a great run through 2112 01:45:11,120 --> 01:45:11,759 Speaker 10: their playoffs. 2113 01:45:11,880 --> 01:45:12,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. 2114 01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:13,840 Speaker 10: I mean, to further that point, it's not like some 2115 01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:16,320 Speaker 10: of these pass rushers you see draft at high they're 2116 01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:18,240 Speaker 10: a little bit of a project. You know, they maybe 2117 01:45:18,280 --> 01:45:20,800 Speaker 10: didn't have the eye popping stats and you know maybe 2118 01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:22,960 Speaker 10: the only started for one year. That's not too model 2119 01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:24,679 Speaker 10: ou at all. And he can line up with multiple 2120 01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:27,160 Speaker 10: spots and I think you saw that in camp in 2121 01:45:27,200 --> 01:45:27,840 Speaker 10: the preseason. 2122 01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:29,439 Speaker 3: So it is confusing to me. 2123 01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:31,880 Speaker 10: Lou Ane Rumo has never been a big play the 2124 01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,760 Speaker 10: young guys guy, So I you know, maybe I'm reading 2125 01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:39,320 Speaker 10: too much into that, but I do think I just 2126 01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:41,720 Speaker 10: think the Colt Frankly have just they have a bunch 2127 01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:44,000 Speaker 10: of power rushers. They don't have a lot of speed 2128 01:45:44,160 --> 01:45:47,080 Speaker 10: and lots Who is probably the one kind of speed 2129 01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:51,040 Speaker 10: bending edge rusher that you would have, So, you know, 2130 01:45:51,120 --> 01:45:54,360 Speaker 10: his absence last week was clearly so. But definitely that 2131 01:45:54,479 --> 01:45:56,479 Speaker 10: is a big storyline I think moving forward. When you 2132 01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:59,880 Speaker 10: play you know, Kyler Murray and you play Justin Herbert 2133 01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,600 Speaker 10: and you play Patrick Mahomes and you play you C. J. 2134 01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:05,280 Speaker 10: Strouts and these other quarterbacks on the schedule. You know, 2135 01:46:05,600 --> 01:46:08,120 Speaker 10: can your passer show up because it's been pretty pretty 2136 01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:09,679 Speaker 10: absent for the first two weeks. 2137 01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:13,599 Speaker 1: Kevin, which do you which game is a more intrigue 2138 01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:17,880 Speaker 1: to you? Kevin Bowen, our guest Indiana, Illinois. I heard 2139 01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:19,920 Speaker 1: you talking about this this morning or Produe Notre Dame. 2140 01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:23,240 Speaker 4: Don't ask some questions. 2141 01:46:23,280 --> 01:46:24,680 Speaker 3: I mean, you know you're talking to it. 2142 01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:27,880 Speaker 1: Well, let me rephrase that. I mean, I'm not talking 2143 01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:30,080 Speaker 1: about from a fan perspective, which one you're like more 2144 01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:32,519 Speaker 1: excited about? Like, which game do you actually think has 2145 01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:34,280 Speaker 1: the more intriguing storyline? 2146 01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:36,360 Speaker 3: Yeah? Easily Saturday Night. 2147 01:46:36,439 --> 01:46:39,840 Speaker 10: I mean yeah, obviously I was speaking very selfishly out 2148 01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:41,519 Speaker 10: of my out of my fandom. 2149 01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:43,160 Speaker 3: That probably needs to be checked a little bit, but 2150 01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:44,840 Speaker 3: uh yes, Saturday Night. 2151 01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:47,760 Speaker 10: I mean, Jake, you know that campus, you know that 2152 01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:51,519 Speaker 10: atmosphere full well, I mean I just can't recall a 2153 01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:54,320 Speaker 10: game that you know has this, and I get Michigan 2154 01:46:54,479 --> 01:46:57,160 Speaker 10: last year kind of had it, But this, to me 2155 01:46:57,280 --> 01:47:00,559 Speaker 10: is different because the opponent also has a ton at stake, 2156 01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:03,800 Speaker 10: and you know, both of these programs are not really 2157 01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:07,760 Speaker 10: used to these types of games. Frankly, So, yeah, forty 2158 01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:09,640 Speaker 10: two years. I think it's a stat or not forty two, 2159 01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:13,040 Speaker 10: but eighty seven I believe the last time you got 2160 01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:16,080 Speaker 10: to go back to that for Top twenty matchup in Bloomington. So, 2161 01:47:17,360 --> 01:47:19,200 Speaker 10: and this is it really from a home schedule, you 2162 01:47:19,280 --> 01:47:21,160 Speaker 10: know when you look at a lot of the big 2163 01:47:21,240 --> 01:47:22,920 Speaker 10: games the rest of the year are more on the 2164 01:47:23,080 --> 01:47:26,560 Speaker 10: road side of it for Indiana. So what an atmosphere, 2165 01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:27,960 Speaker 10: I mean, college towns like this. 2166 01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:30,759 Speaker 3: Is what you dream of? Is the home night. 2167 01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:33,760 Speaker 10: College football game. Frankly, I think college game they should 2168 01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:36,720 Speaker 10: be there. I think it's a joke, it's not so yeah. 2169 01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:38,519 Speaker 10: And then and then on top of all of it, 2170 01:47:38,680 --> 01:47:42,040 Speaker 10: it is the playoff ramifications with it as well. So 2171 01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:44,000 Speaker 10: cannot wait for Saturday night. 2172 01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:47,519 Speaker 1: Certainly be a lot of fun and we will certainly 2173 01:47:47,760 --> 01:47:50,519 Speaker 1: look forward to hearing on Monday. James Boyd, I know, 2174 01:47:50,640 --> 01:47:53,799 Speaker 1: was chirping pretty loud from that Illinois standpoint. You mentioned 2175 01:47:53,960 --> 01:47:58,400 Speaker 1: the RCAA Dome Illinois fans traveling I L I and 2176 01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:01,760 Speaker 1: I against Notre Damen basketball some twenty years ago. Well 2177 01:48:01,760 --> 01:48:03,680 Speaker 1: we'll see what happened Saturday night. And as well, Notre 2178 01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:07,559 Speaker 1: David Perdue on Saturday afternoon. Kevin, Oh, by the way, 2179 01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:08,639 Speaker 1: your son make his pick. 2180 01:48:08,600 --> 01:48:10,160 Speaker 3: Yet he did? 2181 01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:12,800 Speaker 10: Yeah, I still need to post it. He went left 2182 01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:16,000 Speaker 10: hand Tongs and he went Colts because yeah, they're the 2183 01:48:16,040 --> 01:48:18,719 Speaker 10: away too. We went outdoors some you know, mother nature 2184 01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:22,400 Speaker 10: for Sunday. So the elements led him to the Colts. 2185 01:48:22,880 --> 01:48:26,080 Speaker 10: The Titans helmet as you know, nothing too great, he thought. 2186 01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:29,840 Speaker 10: He called it the Broncos. He's confused, clearly. 2187 01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:33,559 Speaker 2: But what's Max's raccoon now on the season, so for you, well, one. 2188 01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:35,240 Speaker 10: On one he split. I think he's twenty one and 2189 01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:38,400 Speaker 10: fifteen overall. And the next week Rams, I actually pulled 2190 01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:40,240 Speaker 10: that helmet out last night to get ready for next week. 2191 01:48:40,439 --> 01:48:43,640 Speaker 10: That's just a stripe on it. So so yeah, I 2192 01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:45,400 Speaker 10: would expect him to pick Colts here in the next 2193 01:48:45,439 --> 01:48:45,960 Speaker 10: couple of weeks. 2194 01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:48,360 Speaker 2: We got to remember we have the asterisks next to 2195 01:48:48,479 --> 01:48:51,080 Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins on the lost site, Kevin, because it 2196 01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:53,000 Speaker 2: was influenced by his mom. 2197 01:48:55,040 --> 01:48:56,120 Speaker 3: Did she she did come it? 2198 01:48:56,400 --> 01:48:56,599 Speaker 6: Yeah? 2199 01:48:56,720 --> 01:48:59,920 Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, to be honest, I mean, he loves dolphins 2200 01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:03,920 Speaker 10: more than again, Jake loves cologne.

I may not have been listening. That's right. 2241 01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:45,080 Speaker 1: Somebody asked me this, how many professional sports teams have 2242 01:50:45,200 --> 01:50:49,960 Speaker 1: a pirate related name? You get the Buccaneers, right, the 2243 01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:51,799 Speaker 1: Pirates obviously, the Pittsburgh Pirates. 2244 01:50:54,800 --> 01:51:00,400 Speaker 2: The Columbus Blue Jackets fire off a cannon like a 2245 01:51:00,479 --> 01:51:03,439 Speaker 2: pirate ship king like the bus score. Yeah. 2246 01:51:05,160 --> 01:51:08,880 Speaker 1: Are there other? There's got to I'm trying to. I'm 2247 01:51:09,280 --> 01:51:12,360 Speaker 1: somebody helped me out here because it's escaping me. There 2248 01:51:12,479 --> 01:51:15,560 Speaker 1: is some other like a buccaneer is like in the 2249 01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:18,280 Speaker 1: realm of pirate, right, isn't a buccaneer like an assistant 2250 01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:21,519 Speaker 1: to a pirate kind of thing? It's the pirate's posse. 2251 01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:25,960 Speaker 1: There's another one that's in that same vein. I mean raider. 2252 01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:29,439 Speaker 1: Huh the raider, Yeah, I mean raiders and vikings. You 2253 01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:33,920 Speaker 1: could argue have like some tendency to it, like I 2254 01:51:34,040 --> 01:51:37,479 Speaker 1: think maybe there are some would tell you that, like 2255 01:51:37,640 --> 01:51:40,160 Speaker 1: all raiders are pirates, but not all pirates are raiders, 2256 01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:43,120 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. A marauder, for example, is a 2257 01:51:43,200 --> 01:51:47,559 Speaker 1: pirate but on land, correct, isn't a marauder? What's ed? Sure? 2258 01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:50,680 Speaker 1: I think a marauder is like a pirate, but they 2259 01:51:50,720 --> 01:51:55,000 Speaker 1: don't they travel like on horseback, not on boat. I 2260 01:51:55,120 --> 01:51:58,720 Speaker 1: think maybe once a pirate hits land and he's like, ah, 2261 01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:00,720 Speaker 1: now we're marauders. They just you know what I mean. 2262 01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:04,720 Speaker 1: Cavalier cavalier, thank you, that's a good one, no way. 2263 01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:06,360 Speaker 1: But cavaliers are good guys, aren't they. 2264 01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:07,479 Speaker 2: I don't know. 2265 01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:10,599 Speaker 1: I was just thinking they use the sword? Right? 2266 01:52:11,360 --> 01:52:11,599 Speaker 3: Yeah? 2267 01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:15,120 Speaker 1: Can you look up what a cavalier is. I want 2268 01:52:15,160 --> 01:52:17,400 Speaker 1: to say a cavaliers more like like in like British 2269 01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:18,479 Speaker 1: knighthood type thing. 2270 01:52:20,320 --> 01:52:25,120 Speaker 2: Horsemen. It denotes a horseman or knight, particularly a mounted soldier. 2271 01:52:25,200 --> 01:52:27,639 Speaker 1: Okay, there you go, so that's more like in the Yes, 2272 01:52:28,439 --> 01:52:33,559 Speaker 1: Ulysses Bentley perhaps more in the cavalier more. But the pirates, 2273 01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:35,680 Speaker 1: on the other hand, Okay, so yeah, pirates, buccaneers who 2274 01:52:35,720 --> 01:52:39,400 Speaker 1: we missing mention raiders raiders not bad, but I think 2275 01:52:39,520 --> 01:52:41,600 Speaker 1: raiders again. Can you look up definition of raider. I 2276 01:52:41,600 --> 01:52:45,160 Speaker 1: think raider and marauder are basically pirates on land, right. 2277 01:52:47,360 --> 01:52:50,000 Speaker 1: Marauders in particular, I think are known for, like, you know, 2278 01:52:51,439 --> 01:52:54,120 Speaker 1: tearing into towns and pellaging stuff, and you know, just 2279 01:52:54,400 --> 01:52:58,280 Speaker 1: kind of tearing stuff up in general, right, knocking stuff over, 2280 01:52:58,520 --> 01:52:59,719 Speaker 1: just troublemakers in general. 2281 01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:03,559 Speaker 2: A person who attacks an enemy and enemy's territory a marauder. 2282 01:53:04,040 --> 01:53:07,679 Speaker 2: That's a marauder, that's a raider. Okay, now look up marauder. 2283 01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:10,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say that marauder. It says one who goes 2284 01:53:10,320 --> 01:53:15,120 Speaker 2: in and creates havoc in pillages villages. That rhymes on 2285 01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:17,639 Speaker 2: land via land. I think land is the keyword here. 2286 01:53:17,680 --> 01:53:19,760 Speaker 2: I'm hoping land is the key word. Someone who roams 2287 01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:23,000 Speaker 2: from place to place, making attacks and rains in search 2288 01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:29,479 Speaker 2: of plunder. I'm just looking for plunder. I'm just running 2289 01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:32,599 Speaker 2: around looking for plunder. Do you know how many marauders 2290 01:53:32,600 --> 01:53:35,200 Speaker 2: there are in Washington Street?

It's just forty nine dollars at Franciscan Health. 2298 01:54:03,439 --> 01:54:08,400 Speaker 1: And you know, you hear the conversation and the talk 2299 01:54:08,479 --> 01:54:13,200 Speaker 1: on this radio station about think about your car. You know, 2300 01:54:13,280 --> 01:54:15,400 Speaker 1: you would never get in your car and if you 2301 01:54:15,479 --> 01:54:19,599 Speaker 1: knew that the the engine was knocking and you were 2302 01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:22,680 Speaker 1: worried about whether or not the transmission was slipping, and 2303 01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:24,240 Speaker 1: your heart is kind of the same thing. You want 2304 01:54:24,280 --> 01:54:26,480 Speaker 1: to make sure that everything, you know, all the pistons 2305 01:54:26,560 --> 01:54:29,559 Speaker 1: are working, and make sure that you that you're getting 2306 01:54:29,560 --> 01:54:32,320 Speaker 1: the oil changed on time. That's exactly what your heart 2307 01:54:32,600 --> 01:54:36,040 Speaker 1: is asking you to do, just to be aware of 2308 01:54:36,960 --> 01:54:39,920 Speaker 1: the importance of your heart health. And a heart scan 2309 01:54:40,040 --> 01:54:41,160 Speaker 1: is a really good way to do that. It's just 2310 01:54:41,240 --> 01:54:44,560 Speaker 1: forty nine dollars. It's not invasive, it literally takes I 2311 01:54:44,600 --> 01:54:47,240 Speaker 1: mean the process itself is probably fifteen or twenty minutes 2312 01:54:47,440 --> 01:54:50,160 Speaker 1: and I'll get you all the information on where you 2313 01:54:50,400 --> 01:54:53,480 Speaker 1: can get signed up for a heart scan at Franciscan 2314 01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:55,960 Speaker 1: Health and make sure that you get it. You can 2315 01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:58,520 Speaker 1: pay out a pocket, very easy to do. I just 2316 01:54:58,680 --> 01:55:00,560 Speaker 1: had And there's a reason I bring this up for 2317 01:55:00,760 --> 01:55:04,720 Speaker 1: this week's story. Last week I mentioned that I had 2318 01:55:04,880 --> 01:55:10,440 Speaker 1: a heart stress test, which is where you basically I 2319 01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:13,240 Speaker 1: was on the treadmill for I think it was thirteen minutes. 2320 01:55:13,920 --> 01:55:17,320 Speaker 1: So you get on the treadmill, you get the wires 2321 01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:20,640 Speaker 1: put on you, and you know, and this is a 2322 01:55:20,720 --> 01:55:22,720 Speaker 1: pretty elaborate thing. I mean, this isn't something that you 2323 01:55:22,760 --> 01:55:26,440 Speaker 1: would just do unless there was you know, you had 2324 01:55:26,560 --> 01:55:28,840 Speaker 1: in like I do in my case, you know a 2325 01:55:29,440 --> 01:55:32,720 Speaker 1: cardiovascular history. But the stress test itself, if you get 2326 01:55:32,760 --> 01:55:34,360 Speaker 1: on the treadmill, you run, they look at your heart, 2327 01:55:34,400 --> 01:55:36,040 Speaker 1: they're able to see the imaging of it. And then 2328 01:55:36,080 --> 01:55:37,960 Speaker 1: the hardest part, to be honest with you, is afterwards 2329 01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:40,800 Speaker 1: you have to lay on a table and hold your breath, 2330 01:55:40,840 --> 01:55:42,600 Speaker 1: which is really hard to do because you're getting your 2331 01:55:42,640 --> 01:55:45,320 Speaker 1: heart rate up to a certain point so that they 2332 01:55:45,360 --> 01:55:47,240 Speaker 1: can get all the imaging of your heart while it's 2333 01:55:47,360 --> 01:55:51,680 Speaker 1: at its most stressed point. But I was on the treadmill, 2334 01:55:51,800 --> 01:55:54,240 Speaker 1: And you know, I think I've made no bones about 2335 01:55:54,280 --> 01:55:56,240 Speaker 1: the fact that that's something that I've done a lot 2336 01:55:56,280 --> 01:55:59,920 Speaker 1: of running and done the mini each and every year, 2337 01:56:01,200 --> 01:56:03,720 Speaker 1: and so I have the utmost respect for people that 2338 01:56:03,960 --> 01:56:08,080 Speaker 1: do exactly that. And then in doing that stress test, 2339 01:56:08,320 --> 01:56:13,560 Speaker 1: realizing and recognizing the respect that you have to have 2340 01:56:13,680 --> 01:56:15,840 Speaker 1: for people that are running when they are making that 2341 01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:18,800 Speaker 1: even more challenging for themselves. I mean, thankfully, for me 2342 01:56:18,880 --> 01:56:23,800 Speaker 1: in that situation, it was thirteen minutes and done right. 2343 01:56:25,120 --> 01:56:27,600 Speaker 1: I think a lot about, for example, Terry Fox, who 2344 01:56:27,840 --> 01:56:31,080 Speaker 1: was a Canadian in the early eighties. There's a thirty 2345 01:56:31,120 --> 01:56:34,560 Speaker 1: for thirty about it that's unbelievable about how he ran 2346 01:56:34,680 --> 01:56:37,000 Speaker 1: a marathon every day for like one hundred and thirty 2347 01:56:37,040 --> 01:56:41,720 Speaker 1: straight days using a prosthetic across Canada to raise money 2348 01:56:41,880 --> 01:56:44,600 Speaker 1: in the early eighties. And I think about people like 2349 01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:48,600 Speaker 1: that and it truly is remarkable. And there's a guy 2350 01:56:48,680 --> 01:56:50,160 Speaker 1: that I know that I used to work with named 2351 01:56:50,200 --> 01:56:54,800 Speaker 1: Jordan Stoner. Jordan started running just for his own, I guess, 2352 01:56:55,040 --> 01:56:58,600 Speaker 1: entertainment and to get in shape and just to kind 2353 01:56:58,640 --> 01:57:01,840 Speaker 1: of clear his head at times, and then he began running. 2354 01:57:02,120 --> 01:57:03,920 Speaker 1: He began running for a purpose and every once in 2355 01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:05,560 Speaker 1: a while he'll reach out to me because he is 2356 01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:09,680 Speaker 1: doing runs that are fundraisers for different events or different organizations, 2357 01:57:10,520 --> 01:57:13,080 Speaker 1: and one of those that he does is the Chicago Marathon, 2358 01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:16,960 Speaker 1: and so I wanted to see when the Chicago Marathon was, 2359 01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:18,800 Speaker 1: and for that matter, I wanted to look up how 2360 01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:21,160 Speaker 1: Jordan did in the Chicago Marathon. And when I was 2361 01:57:21,920 --> 01:57:26,520 Speaker 1: googling his name in Chicago Marathon, I came across the 2362 01:57:26,640 --> 01:57:30,240 Speaker 1: name of Jordan Bergman in the Chicago Marathon, and it 2363 01:57:30,280 --> 01:57:33,880 Speaker 1: took me to a story that I thought was both awesome, 2364 01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:39,200 Speaker 1: inspiring and heartfelt, and I think it speaks to the 2365 01:57:39,400 --> 01:57:41,560 Speaker 1: essence as I mentioned off the top of this show 2366 01:57:41,720 --> 01:57:46,080 Speaker 1: of Sport, and when I looked up and saw Jordan's 2367 01:57:46,080 --> 01:57:49,080 Speaker 1: story Jordan Bergman and the Chicago Marathon, the reason that 2368 01:57:49,320 --> 01:57:53,200 Speaker 1: it clicked when I googled that is this, Jordan is 2369 01:57:53,240 --> 01:57:58,640 Speaker 1: the father of Susan and Jeffrey Bergman, and Susan is 2370 01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:03,560 Speaker 1: about actually just ten months older than Jeffrey, so you know, 2371 01:58:03,640 --> 01:58:06,480 Speaker 1: they were very close in age to one another at 2372 01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:09,080 Speaker 1: the time that you know Irish twins as we say, right, 2373 01:58:09,680 --> 01:58:11,760 Speaker 1: two children that were born to the same parents, very 2374 01:58:11,800 --> 01:58:15,920 Speaker 1: close to one another, and when Jeffrey was just twenty 2375 01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:21,440 Speaker 1: two months old, he suffered an infant cardiac arrest again 2376 01:58:21,960 --> 01:58:26,560 Speaker 1: heart related here, right, and that terrible. While he survived, 2377 01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:32,280 Speaker 1: that terrible incident caused him to suffer then for the 2378 01:58:32,360 --> 01:58:36,760 Speaker 1: rest of his life to this day, essentially cerebral palsy 2379 01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:38,960 Speaker 1: because of the lack of oxygen that went to his 2380 01:58:39,080 --> 01:58:43,320 Speaker 1: brain during that and as a result, he was confined 2381 01:58:43,320 --> 01:58:47,480 Speaker 1: to a wheelchair. And Susan enjoyed running started running in 2382 01:58:47,520 --> 01:58:49,600 Speaker 1: cross country in high school, but she was very close 2383 01:58:49,680 --> 01:58:53,600 Speaker 1: to her brother and routinely she heard people mention that 2384 01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:56,280 Speaker 1: it was too bad that her brother couldn't participate in sports, 2385 01:58:57,320 --> 01:59:00,120 Speaker 1: and she believed, actually that her brother could could do 2386 01:59:00,200 --> 01:59:01,680 Speaker 1: whatever he wanted to do, and if he wanted to 2387 01:59:01,720 --> 01:59:04,720 Speaker 1: participate in sports, there would be no reason why she 2388 01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:10,920 Speaker 1: shouldn't facilitate that. So for four years and through college, 2389 01:59:11,400 --> 01:59:14,760 Speaker 1: she was a cross country runner. But during the time 2390 01:59:14,840 --> 01:59:16,960 Speaker 1: that she was a cross country runner in high school, 2391 01:59:18,120 --> 01:59:22,280 Speaker 1: she ran every single event while pushing her brother in 2392 01:59:22,360 --> 01:59:26,560 Speaker 1: a wheelchair. And you see this at the Mini Marathon 2393 01:59:27,720 --> 01:59:32,880 Speaker 1: used from time to time, and when you're running or 2394 01:59:32,920 --> 01:59:35,280 Speaker 1: you're doing whatever it is that you may do, then 2395 01:59:35,360 --> 01:59:37,960 Speaker 1: you see something like that and you find an inspiration 2396 01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:40,600 Speaker 1: in it, and in this case, it is something that 2397 01:59:40,720 --> 01:59:44,400 Speaker 1: started tragically with an incident with a young person and 2398 01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:49,360 Speaker 1: a heart ailment, and it grew from there into something 2399 01:59:49,440 --> 01:59:53,800 Speaker 1: that not only was inspiring in the fact of Susan 2400 01:59:54,840 --> 01:59:58,360 Speaker 1: running with her brother and pushing his wheelchair through cross 2401 01:59:58,400 --> 02:00:01,440 Speaker 1: country meets all through high school then ultimately into her 2402 02:00:01,480 --> 02:00:05,040 Speaker 1: college career, but it led her in her college career 2403 02:00:05,160 --> 02:00:08,680 Speaker 1: to become a to work in the nursing field, in 2404 02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:12,040 Speaker 1: the medical field, in physical therapy, to assist people like 2405 02:00:12,120 --> 02:00:15,160 Speaker 1: her brother that had their own journey of trying to 2406 02:00:15,240 --> 02:00:17,640 Speaker 1: find what it was to be, you know, break through 2407 02:00:17,680 --> 02:00:20,760 Speaker 1: their own ceiling. The reason that it all came about 2408 02:00:20,840 --> 02:00:22,160 Speaker 1: and the reason I thought it was cool, and the 2409 02:00:22,160 --> 02:00:25,200 Speaker 1: reason it's applicable and timely now is because even though 2410 02:00:25,320 --> 02:00:28,200 Speaker 1: Susan is no longer running because she's busy with her 2411 02:00:28,280 --> 02:00:31,520 Speaker 1: own career, her father decided that, in fact, her brother 2412 02:00:31,640 --> 02:00:35,040 Speaker 1: needed to run the Chicago Marathon. So that is why 2413 02:00:35,360 --> 02:00:38,760 Speaker 1: in three weeks, Jordan will run the Chicago Marathon, and 2414 02:00:38,840 --> 02:00:42,240 Speaker 1: he will do so for all twenty six miles while 2415 02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:46,960 Speaker 1: pushing the wheelchair of his now teenaged son in Jeffrey, 2416 02:00:47,640 --> 02:00:52,200 Speaker 1: and I think it speaks to the point of two things, 2417 02:00:53,040 --> 02:01:02,680 Speaker 1: the first being limitation restriction. Ceiling on things oftentimes is relative. Yes, 2418 02:01:02,880 --> 02:01:05,760 Speaker 1: of course, if you suffer paralysis, I understand the fact 2419 02:01:06,200 --> 02:01:08,240 Speaker 1: that some things may not be a reality for you 2420 02:01:08,440 --> 02:01:11,520 Speaker 1: in terms of a physical nature. But it doesn't mean 2421 02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:13,720 Speaker 1: that with the right people around you, with the right 2422 02:01:14,480 --> 02:01:18,000 Speaker 1: vision and with the right compassion, that you can't come 2423 02:01:18,080 --> 02:01:20,680 Speaker 1: together to reach some sort of a common goal or 2424 02:01:20,840 --> 02:01:25,280 Speaker 1: just simply redefine the boundary lines of what somebody may have. 2425 02:01:26,040 --> 02:01:28,720 Speaker 1: And when I saw that story, that was the first 2426 02:01:28,800 --> 02:01:30,440 Speaker 1: thing I thought of, was the fact that here was 2427 02:01:30,480 --> 02:01:34,640 Speaker 1: a situation where, you know, when I was doing that 2428 02:01:34,800 --> 02:01:37,520 Speaker 1: stress test and I had to lay on that table 2429 02:01:37,720 --> 02:01:39,480 Speaker 1: and then you know, hold out my breath. It was 2430 02:01:39,520 --> 02:01:42,360 Speaker 1: not easy. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't the worst 2431 02:01:42,400 --> 02:01:45,360 Speaker 1: thing in the world. But when I'm going through it, 2432 02:01:45,800 --> 02:01:48,800 Speaker 1: then I think about those that would be that would 2433 02:01:48,840 --> 02:01:51,040 Speaker 1: love the opportunity to be able to do that just once. 2434 02:01:51,800 --> 02:01:55,920 Speaker 1: And I think we can apply that to all aspects 2435 02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:57,840 Speaker 1: and all walks of what it is that we do. 2436 02:01:58,320 --> 02:02:00,800 Speaker 1: And I certainly understand that you have the days where 2437 02:02:00,840 --> 02:02:02,640 Speaker 1: you don't want to get up and do whatever it 2438 02:02:02,720 --> 02:02:04,160 Speaker 1: might be that you have to do that day. And 2439 02:02:04,240 --> 02:02:07,280 Speaker 1: I certainly understand that there are days where the report 2440 02:02:07,360 --> 02:02:10,080 Speaker 1: the boss once done by five, you want to pull 2441 02:02:10,160 --> 02:02:12,040 Speaker 1: your hair out. But then you think about people that 2442 02:02:12,120 --> 02:02:16,080 Speaker 1: would be do anything just for the opportunity to do 2443 02:02:16,200 --> 02:02:18,720 Speaker 1: that one more time, or that maybe just need a 2444 02:02:18,760 --> 02:02:21,240 Speaker 1: little push to be able to do it themselves. And 2445 02:02:21,360 --> 02:02:24,240 Speaker 1: I think those examples in sport, as I talked about 2446 02:02:24,320 --> 02:02:26,360 Speaker 1: at the front of this show, if you look at 2447 02:02:26,400 --> 02:02:29,440 Speaker 1: the Fever last night and what the Fever did. The 2448 02:02:29,560 --> 02:02:33,680 Speaker 1: Fever as a team last night won a game that 2449 02:02:33,920 --> 02:02:37,680 Speaker 1: encapsulated their season. They were down five and the last 2450 02:02:37,760 --> 02:02:40,800 Speaker 1: minute of the game, they scored the last seven points 2451 02:02:40,840 --> 02:02:45,360 Speaker 1: of the game. They did so with players many of 2452 02:02:45,400 --> 02:02:46,760 Speaker 1: which didn't know if they were going to be on 2453 02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:49,320 Speaker 1: a WNBA roster at the beginning of the year, with 2454 02:02:49,520 --> 02:02:52,040 Speaker 1: players who were the substitute for the substitute of a 2455 02:02:52,120 --> 02:02:55,560 Speaker 1: starter that went down for the year. And while everybody 2456 02:02:55,600 --> 02:02:57,480 Speaker 1: else might have looked at the Fever season when some 2457 02:02:57,600 --> 02:02:59,960 Speaker 1: of their bigger stars went out and counted them out, 2458 02:03:00,240 --> 02:03:03,560 Speaker 1: they did not. And it was about rallying together and 2459 02:03:03,720 --> 02:03:06,040 Speaker 1: in a time when I think in this world we 2460 02:03:06,280 --> 02:03:09,920 Speaker 1: most need to see it. There are examples around us 2461 02:03:10,040 --> 02:03:13,760 Speaker 1: everywhere of the importance of coming together in camaraderie as 2462 02:03:13,840 --> 02:03:19,280 Speaker 1: opposed to finding divisiveness indifference, and I think this example 2463 02:03:19,520 --> 02:03:23,120 Speaker 1: is one of them.

And 2528 02:06:24,240 --> 02:06:26,360 Speaker 11: I don't know, this was a little bit before you 2529 02:06:26,520 --> 02:06:28,040 Speaker 11: and I was still at the tail end of high 2530 02:06:28,040 --> 02:06:30,080 Speaker 11: school but maybe a little bit into college when they 2531 02:06:30,120 --> 02:06:32,160 Speaker 11: were having football success with Bill Mallory. 2532 02:06:32,240 --> 02:06:34,120 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, and how fun it was around there. 2533 02:06:34,240 --> 02:06:38,400 Speaker 11: That's when Trent Green was walking around and the chicks 2534 02:06:38,440 --> 02:06:40,720 Speaker 11: are swooning and such, and I was really jealous. 2535 02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:42,320 Speaker 8: Well, I remember times down there. 2536 02:06:42,320 --> 02:06:44,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you remember when Anthony Thompson went wild against 2537 02:06:44,560 --> 02:06:48,920 Speaker 1: Ohio State, and I mean, you know, I remember Indiana 2538 02:06:49,000 --> 02:06:51,000 Speaker 1: being up twenty eight nothing on Ohio State and just 2539 02:06:51,480 --> 02:06:53,520 Speaker 1: thinking like, what in the world is happening here? And 2540 02:06:53,560 --> 02:06:55,200 Speaker 1: then Earl Bruce the next year said it was the 2541 02:06:55,280 --> 02:06:58,480 Speaker 1: darkest day in Ohio State history. And you know, Von 2542 02:06:58,600 --> 02:07:01,600 Speaker 1: Dunbar was my favorite of that. I loved Von Dunbar. 2543 02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:05,880 Speaker 11: I would agree with you on that. I loved Ernie Jones, 2544 02:07:06,040 --> 02:07:11,000 Speaker 11: oh yeah. And I absolutely loved Thomas Lewis, the wide receiver. 2545 02:07:11,200 --> 02:07:14,000 Speaker 1: Thomas Lewis has you remember when Thomas Lewis had at 2546 02:07:14,040 --> 02:07:17,160 Speaker 1: the time, I believed, the longest touchdown reception at Penn 2547 02:07:17,240 --> 02:07:19,000 Speaker 1: State in Beaver Stadium history, Right. 2548 02:07:19,360 --> 02:07:22,080 Speaker 11: Yeah, he did, And I believe drafted round number one 2549 02:07:22,440 --> 02:07:24,280 Speaker 11: made Now I get drafted in the first round by the. 2550 02:07:24,280 --> 02:07:26,200 Speaker 1: Giants, Giants and then never heard from again. 2551 02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:28,960 Speaker 8: Right, yeah, man, I loved here. 2552 02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:31,960 Speaker 11: I loved Ernie Jones to Ernie Jones was just spectac 2553 02:07:32,080 --> 02:07:32,680 Speaker 11: what great team. 2554 02:07:32,800 --> 02:07:34,480 Speaker 8: Dave Snell the quarterback, Yeah. 2555 02:07:36,440 --> 02:07:38,360 Speaker 1: Van Waiders was a hell of a linebacker for him. 2556 02:07:38,440 --> 02:07:38,840 Speaker 1: Back then. 2557 02:07:39,200 --> 02:07:42,720 Speaker 8: Mike Dumas in the secondary was a badass too. Yeah, 2558 02:07:42,880 --> 02:07:43,480 Speaker 8: fun times. 2559 02:07:43,760 --> 02:07:46,320 Speaker 1: Dumas had a pick, almost had an I think it 2560 02:07:46,360 --> 02:07:49,280 Speaker 1: was a ninety nine yard pick return against Purdue, and 2561 02:07:49,560 --> 02:07:51,600 Speaker 1: Eric Hunter threw him down at the one yard line, 2562 02:07:52,040 --> 02:07:53,360 Speaker 1: chased him down and threw him out at the one 2563 02:07:53,440 --> 02:07:55,120 Speaker 1: yard line. But there was some good times, man. 2564 02:07:55,960 --> 02:07:57,520 Speaker 8: It was that's it sound good? It could be. 2565 02:07:57,600 --> 02:08:00,400 Speaker 11: I can't imagine how fun it is going to be 2566 02:08:00,680 --> 02:08:03,480 Speaker 11: this weekend. Starting Tony Dona, Bloomington's It's great. 2567 02:08:03,480 --> 02:08:06,720 Speaker 1: Top ten, Illinois coming in ranked ninth taking on Indiana 2568 02:08:06,760 --> 02:08:09,400 Speaker 1: Kurtz Signete's group. I do think Indiana will win. Actually 2569 02:08:09,760 --> 02:08:12,280 Speaker 1: pretty Notre Dame is going to be interesting. And then Sunday, 2570 02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:15,840 Speaker 1: John Sunday's intriguing too because it looks on paper like 2571 02:08:15,920 --> 02:08:18,920 Speaker 1: the Colts, you know, I mean, Tennessee doesn't jump out 2572 02:08:18,960 --> 02:08:21,400 Speaker 1: at you. But then again, I mean we saw last 2573 02:08:21,480 --> 02:08:23,200 Speaker 1: night who in the world would have guessed at Miami 2574 02:08:23,200 --> 02:08:25,040 Speaker 1: would have given Buffalo a game? So who knows? 2575 02:08:25,160 --> 02:08:25,280 Speaker 9: Right? 2576 02:08:26,280 --> 02:08:31,000 Speaker 11: Yeah, well, listen, the Colts still, I think can be 2577 02:08:31,560 --> 02:08:34,680 Speaker 11: the Colts that we know, we've just been given a 2578 02:08:34,760 --> 02:08:37,400 Speaker 11: great reason to feel good. Plus, Jake, you play off 2579 02:08:37,440 --> 02:08:40,520 Speaker 11: of that game on Sunday. They haven't had good fortune 2580 02:08:40,560 --> 02:08:43,200 Speaker 11: in a while, and that was some good fortune because 2581 02:08:43,360 --> 02:08:45,760 Speaker 11: that should have been an L. Their coach should be 2582 02:08:45,880 --> 02:08:49,000 Speaker 11: absolutely being shredded this week for that being an L. 2583 02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:54,720 Speaker 11: But man, good fortune comes along with you playing well executing, 2584 02:08:55,160 --> 02:08:58,320 Speaker 11: and that's when you know you may have something when 2585 02:08:58,360 --> 02:08:59,840 Speaker 11: all of a sudden good fortune rides. 2586 02:09:00,440 --> 02:09:01,520 Speaker 8: And we saw that on Sunday. 2587 02:09:02,080 --> 02:09:05,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I listen. Like I said with Debt, it's so 2588 02:09:05,880 --> 02:09:08,200 Speaker 1: funny how relative it is, John, because Denver with that 2589 02:09:08,360 --> 02:09:11,080 Speaker 1: field goal. You know, if they don't have that penalty 2590 02:09:11,080 --> 02:09:13,240 Speaker 1: and the Colts lose that game, imagine like the doom 2591 02:09:13,320 --> 02:09:15,280 Speaker 1: and gloom we would have been hearing all week long, right, 2592 02:09:15,400 --> 02:09:17,960 Speaker 1: and instead it's like they're two and zero. You know, 2593 02:09:18,040 --> 02:09:21,040 Speaker 1: they're they're right there. Yes, you see all these memes 2594 02:09:21,080 --> 02:09:23,360 Speaker 1: of the undefeated, and and you know, you look at 2595 02:09:23,400 --> 02:09:25,280 Speaker 1: it and your mind starts racing because you're like, man, 2596 02:09:25,320 --> 02:09:26,960 Speaker 1: if they beat Tennessee, then they're three and oh and 2597 02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:29,560 Speaker 1: they go into the rams and who knows and et cetera. 2598 02:09:29,720 --> 02:09:32,720 Speaker 1: So a lot to unpack, lot to decipher from it. 2599 02:09:33,120 --> 02:09:37,880 Speaker 11: Hey, Jay, can I ask you this, Kelsey Mitchell is 2600 02:09:37,960 --> 02:09:40,120 Speaker 11: the best player to meet by far. On that he 2601 02:09:40,200 --> 02:09:43,240 Speaker 11: missed nothing against Caitlyn Clark, who's injured right now. But 2602 02:09:43,960 --> 02:09:48,080 Speaker 11: Kelsey Mitchell. I love watching her play because she's the 2603 02:09:48,200 --> 02:09:50,720 Speaker 11: quickest player, always on the floor, and she's left handed 2604 02:09:50,800 --> 02:09:52,120 Speaker 11: and that blanks everybody up. 2605 02:09:52,280 --> 02:09:54,000 Speaker 8: I absolutely love watching her play. 2606 02:09:54,120 --> 02:09:56,000 Speaker 1: I would agree with that. And last night I thought 2607 02:09:56,040 --> 02:09:58,280 Speaker 1: there were times where they were becoming too reliant on 2608 02:09:58,440 --> 02:10:00,600 Speaker 1: getting the three going, and it kind of caused him 2609 02:10:00,600 --> 02:10:02,840 Speaker 1: to stall a little bit. And then Mitchell got a 2610 02:10:02,880 --> 02:10:05,480 Speaker 1: little more aggressive with the basketball, and then Lexi Hole 2611 02:10:05,560 --> 02:10:07,520 Speaker 1: hits a shot and then you're back in it. I 2612 02:10:07,600 --> 02:10:10,400 Speaker 1: thought that was great fun last night. You know, I listen. 2613 02:10:10,440 --> 02:10:13,600 Speaker 1: I know people can say whatever, but the last five 2614 02:10:13,680 --> 02:10:15,720 Speaker 1: to seven minutes of that game last night were awesome. 2615 02:10:16,920 --> 02:10:18,440 Speaker 11: I'll tell you the other thing too, How in the 2616 02:10:18,480 --> 02:10:21,720 Speaker 11: world's honestly, Sam's not on somebody's team who deems her 2617 02:10:21,880 --> 02:10:25,920 Speaker 11: not worthy of being already on somebody else's team. I know, well, 2618 02:10:25,960 --> 02:10:28,879 Speaker 11: I mean, who the hell whatts have made those decisions? 2619 02:10:28,880 --> 02:10:30,080 Speaker 8: Again, she's good. 2620 02:10:30,200 --> 02:10:32,320 Speaker 1: It's just the fact that there's there. You don't have 2621 02:10:32,400 --> 02:10:34,400 Speaker 1: thirty two teams, right, I mean, that's so you're gonna 2622 02:10:34,440 --> 02:10:38,040 Speaker 1: have plenty of players available that are that are capable players. 2623 02:10:38,120 --> 02:10:38,320 Speaker 8: Yeah. 2624 02:10:38,960 --> 02:10:41,280 Speaker 11: Does it make it easier to find players like that 2625 02:10:41,440 --> 02:10:43,800 Speaker 11: too in a pinch as the Fever have, Well, you've 2626 02:10:43,800 --> 02:10:45,920 Speaker 11: got a lot of light players still available out there. 2627 02:10:45,960 --> 02:10:47,640 Speaker 1: That's it. I mean, it's the fact that you only 2628 02:10:47,720 --> 02:10:49,640 Speaker 1: have so many teams as opposed to thirty two that 2629 02:10:49,680 --> 02:10:52,280 Speaker 1: you would have in the NBA. But yeah, all right, 2630 02:10:52,360 --> 02:10:53,800 Speaker 1: John will throw it out to you here in a minute. 2631 02:10:53,800 --> 02:10:56,280 Speaker 1: All right, you got a brother jamb out of Twin 2632 02:10:56,360 --> 02:10:58,640 Speaker 1: Peaks on the north side. He will be there coming 2633 02:10:58,720 --> 02:11:01,120 Speaker 1: up for the remainder of the day, Eddie, your score 2634 02:11:01,200 --> 02:11:03,240 Speaker 1: prediction for the Colts and Titans coming. 2635 02:11:03,120 --> 02:11:05,960 Speaker 2: Up, I've got horse swimming thirty to seventeen. 2636 02:11:06,760 --> 02:11:11,160 Speaker 1: That's hard to argue that. I think. I just offensively, 2637 02:11:12,480 --> 02:11:14,440 Speaker 1: Tennessee just does not look like a team that's going 2638 02:11:14,480 --> 02:11:17,320 Speaker 1: to be able to effectively move the football, right, you know. 2639 02:11:17,600 --> 02:11:22,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll say yeah, twenty seven, would you say 2640 02:11:22,960 --> 02:11:27,000 Speaker 1: thirty seventeen. I'll get benefit of that out here, all right? 2641 02:11:27,800 --> 02:11:31,640 Speaker 1: How about this twenty to thirteen? Twenty to thirteen Colts win. 2642 02:11:32,200 --> 02:11:34,280 Speaker 1: But I would agree with you the Colts win. All right. 2643 02:11:34,360 --> 02:11:36,640 Speaker 1: We will be back with you at noon on Monday 2644 02:11:36,720 --> 02:11:39,840 Speaker 1: to recap all of it.
