Speaker 1: Highlight of the summer. Eddie Garrison hosting Sports' early fall. Now,

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:25,799

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: Eddie Garrison hosting sports talk this weekend for Bottle Level.

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: That is one of them. It's the sign of the

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: end of summer, in the beginning of autumn. I realize

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: that we are now in the whatever, autumn solstice whatever.

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: But the weather's fabulous.

11

Speaker 2: So missus Querry Leaf recordings.

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: The mill a couple of weeks away from that. It

13
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: is a traditional Eddie that you are familiar, a tradition

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: like any other. It involves what is going to happen tomorrow,

15
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: involves myself and another not member of this radio station,

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: but kind of indirectly a recurring character on this radio station.

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: What are you and Derek Schultz doing?

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: Not Derek Schultz, same height.

19
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: Boy, that's very vague. There's a lot of people that

20
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: are the same height as Derek Schultz, different gender. What

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: are you and Shannon doing, Jake? Is it the annual

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,440

Speaker 1: every minute of it. They sent me a fourteen page script.

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, we've never followed a single word of

28
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: any of this, but thank you. We just go out

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: there and let the dogs do the talking man and

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 1: it is awesome that. And then we have a steinholding competition,

31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: we have a brought eating competition. It's a ton of fun.

32
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: I can't wait for tomorrow. But let me begin with this,

33
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: and we have a big show lined up for you today.

34
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: This is the final day, Eddie. The final day, Okay

35
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: for an extended period of time. This is the final

36
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: day that we will do this show with guests on

37
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: our guest line that is not sponsored by our to

38
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: be announced Monday sponsor for the guest line.

39
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: That was very convoluted, very worthy, there, Jake, Okay, today's

40
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: the final day of the insert business. I can't even

41
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: say insert business. It's the last day of the unsponsored

42
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: guest line. I think that's what I just said. It

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: was very convoluted, very worthy. How you put it, I

44
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: don't think so.

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think. I said, today is the final

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: day of our guest line where it is unsponsored before

47
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: our sponsor then for an extended period begins on Monday,

48
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: and we will announce on Monday who that's going to be.

49
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: And I'm super stoked for it because, as I mentioned,

50
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: it is and I love every body that's a part

51
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,079

00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: saying that it is a privilege and a duty to

60
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: be able to carry out the message from Franciscan Health

61
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: and the work that they do for cardiovascular health and

62

Speaker 1: getting people set for their you know, heart scans and

69

00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: about man I tried glyss right. Numbers are great since

71
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: I've been taking the weight loss injection, that being able

72
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: to spread that message. I love people that are going

73
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: to go to the Purdue Illinois game and watch the

74
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: battle for that little cannon they fight for. Pretty Athletics

75
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: partnered with Surfside also a pleasure to have them on

76
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: board and to welcome on another company that I am

77
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: a huge lover of their product. I love their story,

78
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: I love the local aspect of it. I love the

79
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: fact that it combines my passion for doing this show

80
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: and doing IndyCar racing. All of it cannot wait until Monday,

81
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: but let's begin with this. Last night, Thursday night football,

82
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm watching the San Francisco forty nine Ers and the

83
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams, and in watching it, I'm looking at

84
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: the Rams and I'm trying to analyze, Okay, is this

85
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: any sort of a barometer of who and what and

86
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: where the Colts are? Colts getting set for the Raiders

87
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: coming up Sunday Lucas Oil Stadium. Brock Bowers did not practice. JT.

88
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: The Brigg told us yesterday he thinks Bowers will play,

89
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: but will have a knee sleeve on. We will see

90
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: if that limits brock Bauers in terms of his effectiveness,

91
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: although he is the kind of player that, as good

92
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: as he is, he makes a difference just by being

93
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: out there, because you know, the old proverbial decoy. Michael

94
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: Pittman Junr. Also now added to the injury list on

95
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis side. Correct.

96
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: He was added yesterday with a hamstring injury and was limited.

97
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: Joel A.

98
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: Erickson, a recipient of the Beer Ferry, just tweeted out

99
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: a minute ago that Michael Pittman Jr. Is out at

100
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: practice today. However, Joel does not see his other counterpart,

101
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: Alec Pierce today at practice for the Colts.

102
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: Now the Colts, of course, in that game in Los

103
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: Angeles when you know you had Daniel Jones with two turnovers,

104
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: two interceptions, right, and I'm watching Mac Jones and I'm

105
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: looking at his effectiveness against Los Angeles and in doing so,

106
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: and yes, he has Mac Jones and this is not

107
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: it's not like Mac Jones is you know, a guy

108
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: that they just like found on tender and said, all right,

109
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: let's go. I mean, this is a guy that was

110
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: a former first round pick that, certainly at the beginning

111
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: of his time in New England I think had was

112
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: an accurate quarterback. I don't know that anybody felt like

113
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: it was a guy that was a dynamic quarterback, but

114
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: he was, you know, he could throw with accuracy, and

115
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: then things just kind of stalled out for him. And

116
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: then now, of course he finds himself in San Francisco.

117
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: Purdy is out, mac Jones steps in. So you look

118
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 1: at the numbers of what he did yesterday, which were big.

119
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: He threw for over three hundred and Mac Jones was

120
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: the story of that game. I mean, a couple of

121
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: costly turnovers and a lot of people talking about how

122
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: al Michaels has lost his fastball. Maybe that's the case.

123
00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: I love al Michaels, but nonetheless, when you look at that,

124
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: you say to yourself, Okay, so if mac Jones is

125
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: able to have a really good game against the Rams

126
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: and Daniel Jones, I'm not saying that he didn't have

127
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: a that he had a terrible game, but it made

128
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: me start to think and then as I'm pondering all

129
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: of those things, the game's wrapping up. I'm still wide awake.

130
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm nocturnal, as most people know, and I realize that,

131
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: oh gosh, I forgot with this new cable system. Now

132
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: I have like every possible app under the sun. I

133
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: don't even know which ones I'm paying for, which ones

134
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: are free, which ones are trials. I have no idea.

135
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: But one of the apps I scan over to it,

136
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, I wonder what's on I've never even like

137
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to click this button on this app and

138
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: even see what's on it. So I clicked this button

139
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: and it says, you know, hey, an original, a Hulu original,

140
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: So it okay, Well, what's the Hulu original? You know?

141
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Is it's going to be Marsha Brady in the grass

142
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: skirt and the Nalys locking up were back in the

143
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: Hulu Like what are we doing here?

144
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: Right?

145
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: The Hulu special? So I click on it. It's an original,

146
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, this looks fun and I look

147
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: at this show it and then I realize and I

148
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: know I'm always the last to these parties. This show

149
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: just dropped, as the kids say, like a week ago.

150
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: So it's brand new, right, and of course we are all.

151
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: I think most people are familiar with the skit that

152
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: Eli Manning did a handful of years ago as part

153
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: of Omaha Productions, which Omahall Productions is the company that

154
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: does the Manning cast, and they now have parlayed this

155
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: skit of Eli Manning dressing in disguise and fooling a

156
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: football team that is now I don't know if you're

157
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: familiar with it or not. Eddie a sitcom on Hulu

158
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: called Chad Powers. I'm familiar with it with Glenn Powell. Yes, correct,

159
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: So I watched it last night. Now, the plot, I mean,

160
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: it's it's it's okay, it's actually pretty like you can

161
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: kind of see where a lot of the storylines are going.

162
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: But it's it's fun, right, it's fun. It's not it's cheesy,

163
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: but it's fun. So what it is is a guy

164
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: that is a dynamic college quarterback quarterbacks at Oregon, and

165
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: his career comes to an end in disastrous fashion. And

166
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: so he is this shamed name, if you will, and

167
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: he just kind of he's now like twenty five, twenty

168
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: six years old, looking for a second lease on life,

169
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: trying to you know, turn things around and finds out

170
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: that there is a college football program that's having open

171
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: quarterback tryouts because they've hit you know, the skids. So

172
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: his dad happens to be a Hollywood like Missus Doubtfire,

173
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: a Hollywood makeup artist and whatever else. So he creates

174
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: a disguise to go down and try out for this

175
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: football team. Now, this is obviously the most hokey and

176
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: ridiculously non believable story line of all time. But it's

177
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: entertaining and it's fun, and it's light and it's you

178
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: know whatever, and it's intriguing. But as I'm watching it,

179
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, you have a split personality because Chad

180
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: powers when he is in disguise. Okay, is this humble

181
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: kind of like the water boy kind of guy in

182
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: reality the quarterback, the real person is super arrogant and

183
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: can wing the ball wherever it wants to go, and

184
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: just a dynamic athlete and a great player. So two

185
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks in one.

186
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

187
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: And as I'm watching it, coming off of the end

188
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: of that Rams game, I'm wondering, as I'm thinking about

189
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: Mac Jones putting together a dynamic performance against that Rams defense.

190
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: The Rams defense that. For example, I picked up this

191
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: week in my fantasy league and they got me negative

192
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: two points. Right, So a defense that is clearly susceptible

193
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: mac Jones is able to carve them apart. Daniel Jones

194
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily fall in his face against him, but didn't

195
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: necessarily carve them apart either. And if you look at so,

196
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: then I started to wonder, are we seeing right here

197
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis? Are we going to and are we entering

198
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: into our own season of Chad Powers? Are we getting

199
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: ready to see our fans in New York looking at

200
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: it and saying, look perfectly fitting that Peyton Manning is

201
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: a producer of this show because it is about to

202
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: actually unfold in Indianapolis? Are there people that are saying that?

203
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: And so I started to look at Daniel Jones as

204
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback right now, in what he's done through four games.

205
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: And in the first three games, Daniel Jones when the

206
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: Colts were three and unblemished, sixty three of eighty eight

207
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: for eight hundred and six yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Okay,

208
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 1: and obviously he was very good, very efficient. His quarterback

209
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: ratings QBR is what everybody goes by now, right, like the.

210
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 2: I think so.

211
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: So his QBR in those three performances eighty one point eight,

212
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: eighty point seven, ninety three point five. Now we love

213
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: the ninety three point five yere right, we do. We do. Indeed,

214
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: we are huge fans that that. If you are that

215
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: or one oh seven point five, then you are like

216
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame caliber. But game number four against the

217
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: Rams twenty four thirty three, not terrible, two sixty two,

218
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: not terrible, a touchdown, okay, two picks. His rating for

219
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: that is QBR fifty three point three. Now, it was

220
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: not a disastrous performance, but when you parlay that with

221
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: the fact of what you just saw last night, you realize, Okay,

222
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: it's not like he was going up against the doomsday defense.

223
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: It's not like he was going up here against the

224
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: steel curtain. The Rams do have some you know, they've

225
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: got some defensive pieces for certain, don't get me wrong.

226
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: And I think Daniel Jones is going to be just fine.

227
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: And I think that that performance against the Rams, while

228
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: not completely disastrous, still was a dip from what we

229
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: had seen in weeks one, two, and three. So then

230
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: I began to wonder, is this what we're doing? Is

231
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: are we now did we fall in love with through

232
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: three games? Another version of Carson Wentz, which is when

233
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: good really good, when not really good okay. But the

234
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: difference is this, there are other quarterbacks that just okay

235
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: is not good enough for you because your roster needs

236
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: to be lifted. And as I was sitting looking at this,

237
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: and as I was analyzing all of this, and as

238
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: I was overthinking it at three twenty eight in the morning,

239
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: with these brain droppings of this guy and his wig

240
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: and his outfit and everything else, and then wondering like, well,

241
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: the real Daniel Jones please stand up right as I'm

242
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: going over all of that, then I started thinking about

243
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: that show, and I thought, you know, it's a pretty

244
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: good show. I've only watched two episodes. I'm excited for

245
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: the drop of the next episode of this Chad Power Show.

246
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: But the reason I like the show is because the

247
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: storyline's cheesy and hokey and not even remotely believable. But

248
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: he meets a kid on campus that's kind of a

249
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: fun side character that helps him out. Here. They have

250
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback that he's got a battle for that's

251
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: a really fun, well portrayed, perfectly casted, and embellished in

252
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: terms of his cheesiness level character that makes it fun.

253
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: They have an assistant coach. There's a storyline that you

254
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: can clearly see developing where you're like, Okay, this is

255
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: gonna this kind of hooks me in this storyline with

256
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: this other character. And I realized that while Chad Powers

257
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: is the name of the show, it is the ausxils

258
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: Hillary characters that actually are the reason that I'm intrigued

259
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: to watch episode number three and for this version of

260
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: the Colts, the reality is that while Daniel Jones may

261
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: be Chad Powers, he may be a quarterback that depending

262
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: on the day, you're wondering if people are going to

263
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: find out that there's actually somebody different underneath that jersey.

264
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: It's the auxiliary characters that are making the show. And

265
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: so while I think Daniel Jones has played really well,

266
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: and I said yesterday, we may be at the time

267
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: now where people need to start wearing Daniel Jones jerseys

268
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: to the Colts games because he's going to be here

269
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: beyond this year. It's the auxiliary characters also that are

270
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: going to make the show for him. Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman,

271
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: Junr who we just mentioned on the injury list, Josh Downs,

272
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: you know clearly, Tyler Warren, Alec Pierce, and then the

273
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: defense in general, you know, to Forrest Buckner and Kevin

274
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: Bowen is going to join us on the program later

275
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: talking about how DeForest Buckner went and talked with Adie Mitchell.

276
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: And I know people are tired of hearing the Ady

277
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: Mitchell storyline. I get it, but it is a storyline, nonetheless,

278
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: But the leadership of the Colts when you have a

279
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner going and talking to Adie Mitchell, different sides

280
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: of the ball, different rooms, as we like to say

281
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: now in NFL talk. But yet nonetheless, you have a

282
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: leadership there that I think some other groups in this

283
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: franchise have not had in a while. And those pieces,

284
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: those characters, those storylines are what are going to draw

285
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: us back and Eddie, I believe that they are. Even

286
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: if Daniel Jones doesn't have the consistency that he had

287
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: through the first three games, and he may very well,

288
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: even if looking at what the Rams did last night

289
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: diminishes a little bit like okay, maybe going into LA

290
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: and losing a game against well, they just lost against

291
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: one of the top teams league and San Francisco's pretty

292
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: good as well, don't get me wrong, but they went

293
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: in with a backup. You know, even if those things

294
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: diminish a little bit, I do think that more often

295
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: than not, we're going to see the likable, the win,

296
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: the winning Daniel Jones, the taking care of the football

297
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. And even if he does have games where

298
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: he dips, I think the fact that they have that

299
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: rest of the supporting cast is a real credit to him.

300
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: And I think they are still on pace for what

301
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: I said at the beginning. I said at the beginning

302
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: theyre ten and seven. That may be selling him short

303
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: now because the schedule itself starts to look favorable. They

304
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: could go beyond that.

305
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, perhaps, And we still don't know, really know what

306
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 2: Jacksonville is like. Their offense hasn't been great. They've found

307
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: ways to win three games. The one game they lost

308
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: was to Cincinnati after Joe Burrow went down with Jake Brownie.

309
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: They let it come back and we're able to feed

310
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: Jacksonville like. And Jacksonville has the same records as the

311
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 2: Cult right now, they're tied for first the AFC South

312
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: And it's kind of crazy to say we still don't

313
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 2: really know a whole lot about Jacksonville through four weeks,

314
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 2: but that's why you play the games. Jake in to

315
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 2: your point about you know Colts and Rams last night,

316
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: the Rams were just making uncharacteristic mistake after uncharacteristic mistake.

317
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 2: You had Kyrie Williams fumbling at the goal line. You

318
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: had Blake korm not bringing in a pitch from Matthew Stafford.

319
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: You had a holding penalty on a big return that

320
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: would have set you up in prime position to win

321
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 2: at the end of regulation. You had a blocked pat

322
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: you had a missed field goal. Like there were so

323
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 2: many things that went wrong for Los Angeles last night

324
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: to lose that game that they did not do against

325
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: the Colts. On the other side, it was the Colts

326
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 2: making those mistakes against the Rams, and that's why the

327
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: Colts fell short.

328
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: Let me give you one other thing that happens in

329
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,239
Speaker 1: the show. No spoiler alert here. Don't worry if you

330
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: have not watched yet Chad Powers or you plan on

331
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 1: doing so. Okay, I mean not to mention. It's not

332
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: like this is gone with the wind, right, I mean

333
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: this is not It's but the character Chad Powers is

334
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: in disguise so he can play quarterback, he has to

335
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: wear a mask. Missus doubtfire. Okay, of course it's a

336
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,959
Speaker 1: comedy as well, so there are there is a scene

337
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: where the mask becomes compromised and somebody's talking to him,

338
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: not realizing they're they're talking to a person wearing a

339
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 1: rubber mask, and the mask becomes compromised and it starts leaking.

340
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: That's all I'll say about the scene to be fair

341
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: to Daniel Jones. The other aspect that you have to

342
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 1: look towards, and the reason why I don't find it

343
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: of major concern is because I think this is the

344
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: anomaly we know. For example, we've seen in Indianapolis body

345
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: of work of Quentin Nelson, We've seen body of work

346
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: of Bernard Ryman. We know, you know, we know on

347
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: the right side of the line where they you know,

348
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: Braden Smith that you know what you have there, right

349
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: and I know that they have a you know, Bordolini

350
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: is new essentially, even though we've seen some of what

351
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: he can do, there were times that those whose job

352
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: it was to mask Daniel Jones and protect him and

353
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: keep him so that you don't know where he is defensively,

354
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: that are there to protect him. They did themselves have

355
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: scenes in the movie Against the Rams and the episode

356
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: against the Rams where the water started leaking through a

357
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: little bit on the mask. And therefore it was difficult

358
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: for Daniel Jones to be able to show in any way,

359
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: shape or form, even if he wanted to, who exactly

360
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: he might be, because uncharacteristically from games one, two, and three,

361
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: he was under more duress than he was in those

362
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: first three games. And you have to factor that in

363
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: and say, I do like the I don't have concern

364
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: about the offensive line so long as they stay healthy.

365
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: I do think that offensive line is a weird It's

366
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: just a weird position or a weird unit where you

367
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: have occasional games where I mean, there have been games

368
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: with the Colts from an offensive line standpoint where you're like,

369
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: who are these guys? I mean they are They're like

370
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: the Berlin Wall, Like this is the Great Wall of China,

371
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: the Blin Wall fell, the Great Wall of China. I

372
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: mean this is They're unbelievable for a game or two, right,

373
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: we had it last year a couple of times. And

374
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: then there are also times where you have an unbelievable

375
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys with them at Smith behind him offensive

376
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: line that just have off days. And I think that

377
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: that was you'd like to think because of the aggression

378
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: of the Rams, And I mean, you know, the Rams

379
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: have some guys, you know, versus a kind of guy

380
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: that that's an anomaly of what you're going to face

381
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: more often than not. But there were indeed poors in

382
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: the wall that allowed for Daniel Jones to have to rush,

383
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: and he made a couple of bad decisions with that.

384
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: But that's another thing you have to factor in, which

385
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: is the real Daniel Jones and which is the real

386
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: the protection an aspect of it, I'm not as worried about,

387
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: but some of the throws that he made you could

388
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: look at and say, Okay, if you can get to him,

389
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: if you can give different looks or stunts, which Daniel

390
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: Jones you're gonna get. I personally think it's going to

391
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: be the one From the first three weeks of the year,

392
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about, including college football perdue in

393
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: Illinois coming up this weekend. Goes without saying that with

394
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: Indiana and Oregon, we ramp that up over the course

395
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: of next week because it's going to be a top

396
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: ten matchup and then Indiana if they can hold serve

397
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: with that or certainly they gonna win. But even if

398
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: they were to lose out in Eugene going into Penn

399
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: State a couple of weeks after that, if they were

400
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: able to hold serve up to that point, I keep

401
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: saying they'll win if they're ranked in the top ten

402
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: and Penn State, because Penn State can't beat anybody ranked

403
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: in the top ten. We talked yesterday about the Indiana

404
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: fever and the situation with the WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement.

405
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark has not only yesterday as we played for you,

406
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: addressed the comments where she was kind of lumped in

407
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: with that of the WNBA and the commissioner, but she

408
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: also pinned a thank you letter, did she not, Eddie?

409
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 2: She did? Kind of.

410
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. She essentially posted talking about her how would you

411
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: word it? Her her love for Indianapolis or her enjoyment

412
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: of playing in Indianapolis. Yep. Do you have any of

413
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: the highlights of said letter? I've got the audio. We

414
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: can play that a little bit later. I would like

415
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: for you to play how long is it? Just over

416
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: a minute? Go ahead and play it now and there's

417
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: a reason why. Leading up to our next guest, this

418
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: is Caitlin Clark. What exactly specifically was she addressing in

419
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: terms of this just being askeding about playing in the

420
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: state of Indiana. Here is Caitlin Clark on being a

421
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: Hoosier now even though she's obviously an iowahaw kye.

422
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 4: This place is incredible and I think you've heard so

423
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 4: many people talk about it over the course the last

424
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 4: few weeks, whether it's the whether it's pacers, whether it's

425
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 4: been our players. You know, it's just incredible. It's in

426
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 4: a way it almost feels like like a college, like

427
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: a university, like all the teams are supporting each other,

428
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 4: and like you don't get that in professional sports really,

429
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 4: but like you have that here and I think that

430
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 4: just speaks like I always say, like, obviously I'm from Iowa,

431
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 4: like Indianapolis. I understand it's a big city, but it

432
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 4: doesn't really feel that way to me, Like it's a

433
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 4: very close knit group, like everybody supports one another. But

434
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 4: then you have the professional sports teams and that's what

435
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 4: everybody's most passionate about here, and that's what I love

436
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 4: about it. You know, people really show up this is

437
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,959
Speaker 4: there a lot of these fans like these have been

438
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 4: their teams since they've been five years old. This is

439
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 4: all they've known. These are the only teams they've cheered for,

440
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 4: and you know, to have this type of success across

441
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 4: the board. Obviously, the Colts have had an amazing start

442
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 4: to their season, and the Pacers run last year and

443
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 4: then everything we've been able to persevere and you know,

444
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 4: reach the w NBA semi finals, like it's a it's

445
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 4: a really special time in this city and you know,

446
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 4: I can't imagine myself in a bet place and just

447
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 4: really fortunate to have, you know, made different friendships with

448
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 4: different athletes across the city and just have the support

449
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 4: from from not only a city, but the state as

450
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 4: a whole.

451
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: Which is interesting because she's one of the very few

452
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: players that are under contract. We knew she wasn't going

453
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: anywhere obviously, right, but you hear those rumblings, right, you

454
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: hear those rumblings from externally like, oh, Caitlyn Clark, you know,

455
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: not happy, or Kitlyn Clark needs to put on weight,

456
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: or what's going on with her injury or whatever else,

457
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: and then boom, at the end of the year, it

458
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: is like, look, there's a lot going on around me,

459
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: but this is where I want to be. And one

460
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: of those friendships, one of those relationships one would assume

461
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: that has her happy, that has her content, that has

462
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: her ready to move forward to get past the semi

463
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: finals of the WNBA as that with her coach Stephanie White,

464
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: who I thought did a fabulous job with that group,

465
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: and I led the week off by talking about just

466
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: the level of overall pride I think you had to

467
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: have in the way that the Fever played and came

468
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: together collectively and represented the state of Indiana. Stephanie's been

469
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: kind enough to give us her time each and every week,

470
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: and the only only only air she has made, in

471
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: my opinion, all year is the musical choice that she

472
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: has for her lead in next. I said, can you

473
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: join us on Friday? She said yes. I said, you

474
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: picked the musical guest. She picked it. I said, that's

475
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable, but we'll do it anyway, and we'll do

476
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: it next with the head coach of the Fever. See Okay,

477
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: kudos to you, Eddie, kudos. I was super worried that

478
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: when coach Stephanie White of the Fever said she likes

479
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: Adele and that that's what she wanted as her intro music.

480
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: That considering that their their year came to an end,

481
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: I was worried that you were going to get snarky

482
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: with it and play the we could have had it

483
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: all the and then it gets uncomfortable, you know what

484
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Because there are two ways when a season ends.

485
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: I think oftentimes and look for any team, it goes

486
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: without saying for any team when a season ends, there

487
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: is disappointment right in the moment, but then you can

488
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: kind of step back and and get a broader view

489
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: of it. And I wanted to do exactly that with

490
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Indiana Fever who joins us

491
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: on the program, Stephanie White, coach, how are you.

492
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 3: I'm doing all right? How about you?

493
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: No complaints? I wanted to I wanted to begin with this.

494
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to read you this. And this is one

495
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: of many comments that I got when we talked about

496
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: that overtime performance with Las Vegas and everything that went

497
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: into that game and the resolve that your team showed.

498
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: I got the following from a guy who is a

499
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: high school basketball coach. He said, last night, it was

500
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: so spot on when everything you talked about and how

501
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: it leads to being so proud of a sports team.

502
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: Win or lose is one thing, but sometimes a team

503
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: does everything that you would want in a team, and

504
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: it's something that is a fan it makes you proud

505
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: of the fact that they represent nice job to the

506
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: fever of representing Indiana basketball the right way, and I

507
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: totally agree with that. And I'm curious though, if you know,

508
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: from a professional standpoint, because you have a job to do, coach,

509
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: are you able to really step back and say that

510
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: was remarkable what we were able to do.

511
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 5: You know, I think maybe in a couple of weeks

512
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 5: I'll be able to do that really realistically. You look

513
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 5: at it and you think, yes, it's it's pretty remarkable.

514
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 5: But at the same time, that's what sport it's all about.

515
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 5: I mean, we think about, you know, the history of sport.

516
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 5: It's it's oftentimes the most inspirational stories are the are

517
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 5: the you know, remarkable ones right against all odds, ones,

518
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 5: the ones that have you know, really good human beings

519
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 5: that that set an example for for life, not just

520
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 5: for sport.

521
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 3: And you know, that's what this group was, you.

522
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 5: Know, and and oftentimes when you when you may not

523
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 5: be as talented as your opponent, or when you may

524
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 5: not you know, have have all of the things that

525
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 5: that that that that other teams or other people do.

526
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 5: It takes the intangibles, and it takes the connectedness, and

527
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 5: it takes something different inside of you. And I think

528
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 5: that that's what this group has had you.

529
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: There was a clip that was shown on television where

530
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,959
Speaker 1: they had you miked up and during a time it

531
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,959
Speaker 1: was after Kelsey Mitchell had gone down. And you know,

532
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: we now know that that injury. And I want to

533
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: give full kudos and credit to the medical staff that

534
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: was there because we thought it was just, oh, she

535
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: has a leg cramp, and we now know that that's

536
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: something that could have been more severe and will be

537
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: monitored moving forward. But thankfully they were just so fast

538
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: to act on that, and and that deserves a tip

539
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: of the cap. But you've got to then kind of

540
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: rally your team together and you're saying to them, no

541
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: one is more prepared for and I'm paraphrasing, no one

542
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: is better built to be able to respond to this

543
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: than we are. Nobody can handle this like we can.

544
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: When you were saying that coach, could you see in

545
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: their eyes that they that they believed what you were saying.

546
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 5: I saw fear to start and and that's why I

547
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 5: said it, because we had had so many of those

548
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 5: of those moments.

549
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: And at the time, we obviously didn't know what was

550
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 3: going on with Kelsey. Uh. We thought it was.

551
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 5: Cramp cramping as well, and and so you know, the

552
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 5: the severity of of of what was happening wasn't there.

553
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 5: But in any time you see a teammate go down,

554
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 5: it's it's hard. And and we've had all many of

555
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 5: those moments, unfortunately throughout the course of the year, and

556
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 5: we've had to rally around them and rally for them,

557
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 5: and and and rally one another, and so you know,

558
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 5: in that moment, it was just a sense that it

559
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 5: could have been been a breaking point for our team,

560
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 5: but reminding them what we've been through, reminding them that

561
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 5: that we could find another gear, find another level, that

562
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 5: we could find something inside of us that was playing

563
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 5: for something more than just to win a basketball game,

564
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 5: because we had done it multiple times, and quite frankly,

565
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 5: just reminding them who they are in that moment and

566
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 5: whether it was going to go our way or not,

567
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 5: you know, we still needed to find something to play for.

568
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: And by the way, that injury for those that are unfamiliar,

569
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: and it's a medical term that I'm not even going

570
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: to try to pronounce, but essentially what happened was she

571
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: had a muscle deficiency where her muscles for a five

572
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: to seven second period essentially paralyzed on her and she

573
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: could not move her muscles, and that is something that

574
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: will be monitored moving forward. We certainly hope the best

575
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: for Kelsey Mitchell in terms of the way that in

576
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: that game, I just thought it was a microcosm of

577
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: your season because every single time, and I'm not gonna

578
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: lie to you, Stephanie White, the Fever coaches, our guest

579
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: here with sport coach, and I think you know this.

580
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,479
Speaker 1: You know sometimes when you are involved from a working

581
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: standpoint in a game, you see it differently. You know this.

582
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean you've done radio and done tellelevision analysis of games.

583
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: You just kind of watch it differently, right, like the

584
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: fandom and you kind of goes away, right. It is

585
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: becomes rare with teams that all of a sudden, I

586
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: get fifteen year old me comes out again and I'm

587
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: pacing and whatever else I actually did that in this

588
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: game because I wanted it was such a great story

589
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: and I loved the resolve of it. And every time

590
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: it got to like five points, I thought, oh gosh,

591
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: and then I'd turn around and I come back and boom,

592
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: it's tied again. It was a microcosm of exactly your year.

593
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: How was that? What is it about this group that

594
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: was different?

595
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 3: Uh?

596
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 5: You know, I think number one, I truly believe in

597
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 5: my heart that connected teams are winning teams.

598
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 3: And this is a group that was incredibly connected. And it's.

599
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 5: Not something that you can produce. It's something that happens organically.

600
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 5: And this group or who came into the locker room

601
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 5: at what point in the season they came into the

602
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 5: locker room that the people who had been here navigated, embraced, empowered,

603
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 5: and also showed them the way.

604
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

605
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 5: You know, we had gosh, four or five five people

606
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 5: on our team that didn't start the year with us,

607
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 5: if I'm right about that. And our mantra from the

608
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 5: very beginning of the year was we over me. You know,

609
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 5: we started the season understanding that we had a lot

610
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 5: of talent in the room, in the locker room, but

611
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 5: also with with a lot of talent comes challenges because

612
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 5: not everybody's gonna get to play, even when they should

613
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 5: deserve to play, you know, not everything and and and

614
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 5: so we we started the year talking about we over

615
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 5: me and every time a new player came in, they

616
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 5: hadn't been in our locker room since April. But the

617
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 5: players in our locker room lived that. They showed them

618
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 5: how to live. That they they they they held them

619
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 5: accountable to that, and and that that connectedness, that sacrifice

620
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 5: for one another, the sacon or fight.

621
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 3: For the team.

622
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 5: Uh, it just it enabled us to find another level

623
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 5: and another year. And you know, it's in sport, it's

624
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 5: about getting hot at the right time. And this group

625
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 5: did that. I think, you know, when we did it

626
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 5: was a result of that had probably been the team

627
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 5: that had been together the longest throughout the course of

628
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 5: the season. And again, as we know in sports, especially

629
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 5: when you're watching it from an analytical perspective and not

630
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 5: a fan perspective, it does take time to build that

631
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 5: chemistry and connectedness and connectivity on the floor. And that

632
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 5: group had the time to do it. I'm not sure

633
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 5: at any other point in the season we had a

634
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 5: consistent enough you know, eight, nine, ten, players that were

635
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 5: playing that we were able to do that.

636
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: When you look at Stephanie White, the head coach of

637
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: the Fever, is our guest coach over the course of

638
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: the year, you know, especially with when you have a

639
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: player like Caitlin Clark who is such a transcendent star. Right,

640
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: So you're going to have people following what your team

641
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: is doing that maybe didn't even follow the U the

642
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: NBA three years ago. You're gonna have people that don't

643
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: follow the WNBA but follow Caitlyn Clark, et cetera. From

644
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 1: a coaching standpoint at times, that can create no win

645
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: situations because you're gonna be scrutinized in whichever way you

646
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: play it in any aspect when it comes to a

647
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: player like that. There was critique of Stephanie White at

648
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year before really Caitlyn Clark went

649
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: down with injury, just over the play and then the

650
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: way things came together and the fact that at the

651
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: end of the year everyone's saying this is coach at

652
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: the year level stuff. Did you feel vindicated?

653
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously we don't really do

654
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 3: it to for other people's opinions.

655
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 5: You know, it's it's I had a coach when I

656
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 5: very first started coaching. Tell me, if I started listening

657
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 5: to the people that were that were in the stands,

658
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 5: then I wouldn't be coaching very long and I'd be

659
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 5: sitting with them before too long.

660
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 3: So, you know, we don't do it for that. We

661
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 3: don't do it for them. You know. We do it

662
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 3: for our players and our team. And we do it

663
00:35:59,080 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 3: because we love the game.

664
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 5: Man.

665
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 3: We do it because we love the sport.

666
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 5: You know, I love this franchise, and nobody is ever

667
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 5: going to be happy. You know. I appreciate uh fever

668
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 5: basketball fans in particular, and basketball fans from the state

669
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 5: of Indiana, because they know the game. They understand the

670
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 5: nuance of the game. And and so for me, uh,

671
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 5: it wasn't really about vindication. It was about just putting

672
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 5: the best team and and that we could forward. I

673
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 5: understand that it doesn't happen, you know, automatically. I also

674
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 5: understand that that it that it's it's one of those

675
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 5: things that you have to get lucky, Like you don't

676
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 5: just go win championships, like it is hard to get

677
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 5: to the finals. It is hard to win championships.

678
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 3: I know that there are.

679
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 5: Teams who make it look easy, and sometimes there are

680
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 5: dynasties that make it look easy. But because of my

681
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 5: experience in this sport and twenty six years in this league,

682
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 5: you know, I understand the difference and have been a

683
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 5: part of some really great teams and have also been

684
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 5: a part of of the franchise obviously when it first started.

685
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 5: So so I don't know vindicated is the right word,

686
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 5: as much as I just feel incredibly proud.

687
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 3: Of the foundation that we laid in terms of our culture.

688
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 5: I feel really proud of the group that came together

689
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 5: to find a way no matter what.

690
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 3: I feel really proud.

691
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 5: Of my staff because I do feel like we have

692
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 5: the best staff you know in the league, and we're

693
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 5: creative and we're we try to think outside the box

694
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 5: and we try to put people in positions to be successful.

695
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 5: And so I think more than anything, I just the

696
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 5: word that comes to mind at the end of the

697
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 5: year is just pride.

698
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: When you look at the league itself from the time

699
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: that you played to now, Stephanie White, in the growth

700
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: of the league and the growth of the growth of

701
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: the interest of the league. One of the byproducts of

702
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: that is that means that the business aspect of it

703
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: is going to be scrutinized and people are going to

704
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: pay a lot more attention to it. That's become obviously,

705
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: and we're heading into an off season that's going to

706
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: be fascinating with the collective bargain. And then you have

707
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: the commissioner, Kathy Engelbert. I know you're aware of the

708
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: comments that THEFISTA call you're made, and then Kitlyn Clark

709
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: kind of getting brought into that, Caitlyn Clark responding to it.

710
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: What has been your overall assessment of that dialogue and

711
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: as it relates to your star player.

712
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I hate I hate it all for Caitlin.

713
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 5: You know, I feel like, you know, she's a twenty

714
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 5: three year old kid who loves to play this game,

715
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 5: who is a pawn in a lot of other people's

716
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 5: games and a lot of other people's narratives, and I

717
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 5: hate that for her.

718
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 4: You know.

719
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 3: It's it's we're coming into a time in the w

720
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 3: n B A where we're where we're.

721
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 5: Kind of part of the growing pains of becoming quote

722
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 5: unquote mainstreams professional sport is some of this stuff.

723
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 3: You know, I do.

724
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 5: Think that we are at a pivotal moment in terms

725
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 5: of the league's history. And look, I was a part

726
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 5: of the very first collective bargaining agreement of the w

727
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 5: NBA where we wanted insurance all year long. So now

728
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 5: where it is growing and players do deserve more, and

729
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 5: leadership needs to reflect, uh, where we are as a

730
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 5: league and and and and also understand where we are

731
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 5: as a league and where players perspectives are coming from.

732
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 5: And you know we have coaches on the sidelines and

733
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 5: and Becky Hammond and myself and of course no Equinn

734
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 5: who was in Seattle, who played in this league, who

735
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 5: like this.

736
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 3: League is is is part of our of our of

737
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: our lifeblood.

738
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 5: Like we we have grown up in this league and

739
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 5: we take pride in this league and the success of

740
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 5: this league. And we also take pride in understanding what

741
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 5: needs to be done and in leadership. And part of

742
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 5: leadership is taking accountability. Part of leadership is is owning

743
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 5: how we move the needle. Part of leadership is not

744
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 5: just recognizing uh, the people who who who are part

745
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 5: of this this league, but empowering and embracing and understanding.

746
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,240
Speaker 3: Uh what they bring.

747
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 5: And you know, your employees are your number one asset

748
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 5: and and so I I do feel like we're we're

749
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 5: at a pivotal moment. I do feel like we're at

750
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 5: a time where where all things have to be considered

751
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 5: and where multiple truths are do exist, certainly, and I

752
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 5: think that sometimes right now in our in our country

753
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 5: and in our world, we we forget that multiple truths

754
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 5: can't exist. But you know, I think we are at

755
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 5: that at that point to begin to have these very

756
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 5: hard conversations about what it looks like moving forward.

757
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: Do you believe the w n b A has the

758
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: leadership right now that it needs?

759
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 5: You know, it's I think it's a tough question because

760
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 5: I do believe that that where we are and where

761
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 5: we have been, especially from a business standpoint, you know,

762
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 5: it's it's.

763
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 3: It's it's what we've needed.

764
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 5: I do think that there's another layer and level to

765
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 5: having someone who who understands the basketball side of the league,

766
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 5: and whether that's direct leadership or whether that's you know,

767
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 5: building out our basketball operation, our department, you know, within

768
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 5: the league. I do think that the more that we

769
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 5: can get former players involved, the more that we can

770
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 5: get people who have grown up in this league who

771
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 5: don't see this league as it was ten years ago

772
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 5: as it was fifteen years ago. You know, you've got

773
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 5: to see the league for what it is now and

774
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 5: where it's going. Much in the same way that college

775
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 5: sports is not what it was ten years ago, not

776
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 5: what it was five years ago. The w NBA is

777
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 5: not what it was ten years ago. And I do

778
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 5: think that there are some folks in leadership position who

779
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 5: still think of it that way. So I think we

780
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 5: do need some addition to our basketball operations part of

781
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 5: the league, and I think we do need some forward

782
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 5: thinking in that as well. But more than anything, accountability

783
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 5: can go a long way, and we just want some

784
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 5: accountability for some of the concerns that have been consistent

785
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 5: concerns for multiple years.

786
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 1: Do you with Caitlin Clark in this as we move forward,

787
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: coach like navigating through just being that that pawn as

788
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: you said, does she have kind of her own team

789
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: that that that guides are through that or does she

790
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: lean on you a lot in that regard as well?

791
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 3: Look, she's she is so mature for her age.

792
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 5: I mean, Jake, thinking back to when we were twenty

793
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 5: three years old.

794
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 3: Holy cow, I know it was.

795
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 5: A long time ago, five years ago, right, But but

796
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 5: she's so mature. She she she has people, you know,

797
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 5: in her corner and and people that can that can

798
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 5: help her.

799
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 3: She she gets it.

800
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 5: She understands the big picture. You know, we'll have conversations.

801
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 5: You know, I've I've been in a very small way

802
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 5: in some of the some of the situations that she's

803
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 5: been in, you know, certainly not with with social media

804
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 5: and all of that stuff. But you know, we've got

805
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 5: players or in staff that that have played in this league,

806
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 5: but but no one outside of Tiger Woods, right A,

807
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 5: Serena Will you can probably name just maybe a handful

808
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 5: more of athletes who have been the game changers and

809
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 5: who have experienced what Caitlin Clark is experiencing, so that

810
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 5: no one can can really relate to what she's going through.

811
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 5: I think the biggest thing is we can be there

812
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 5: for her. You know, we can, we can offer perspective

813
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 5: and do what we can to help, you know, deflect

814
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 5: and navigate. But at the same time, you know, it's

815
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 5: it's a life that she has to lead, and you know,

816
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 5: I think she does it admirably. I'm not sure that

817
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,959
Speaker 5: myself at twenty three years old or myself at forty

818
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 5: eight years old could do it in the same way

819
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 5: that she does with so much grace and humility.

820
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: Lastly, Coach, I wanted to share this and it's it

821
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 1: sounds personal, but it's public and I'll tell you why.

822
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: And I know that I've pointed this out to you.

823
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: I've mentioned this on the radio before as well. But

824
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: over the course of this season, my dad has gone

825
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: through a challenging medical period and while he is hopefully

826
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: and thankfully looks like he's going to be okay, it's

827
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: not to say that it has not been along road

828
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: with a lot of challenges. And the one thing, literally

829
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: the one thing on the daily basis that was like

830
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: my assignment, was to make sure on his board where

831
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: he is getting his treatments, that he knows when the

832
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: next fever game's on. He has his fever hat that

833
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: he would put on for every game. He's been a

834
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: lifelong sports fan. I don't know that I've seen him

835
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: magnetize towards a group and towards a team in giving

836
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: him on a day to day basis a purpose like

837
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: what you guys did. And I say that not for

838
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: the awkward nature of a personal story on the radio,

839
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: but because I think it's a public one because I

840
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: think so many people in this town found that and

841
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 1: saw that, and I hope, while I know it's been

842
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: a disappointment in the way the year ended for you guys,

843
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: and you have a lot going on that at some

844
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: point you're able to it back and accept the gratitude

845
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: of a city and of a state for representing it

846
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: the right way and giving a lot of people a purpose.

847
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate that, Jake, Thank you so much. And

848
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 5: you know this, like I said, this, this group is

849
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 5: you mentioned it doing it the right way, you know,

850
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 5: leading by example, and we we we often talk about,

851
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 5: you know, sport is the greatest, is the greatest indicator

852
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 5: of life and of life lessons.

853
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 3: And I think that this.

854
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 5: Group, uh has has shown, community has shown, you know,

855
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 5: the league has shown the nation, you know, a lot

856
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 5: of really good life lessons and been leaders in a

857
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,479
Speaker 5: lot of different ways, and so I'm really proud of them.

858
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: Well, coach, enjoy the off season. I know there's still

859
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do. You are welcome back anytime,

860
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: but I am most most, most most grateful for your

861
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: time over the course of the season.

862
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 3: I appreciate Jake, Thank.

863
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 1: You Stephanie White, the head coach of the Indiana Fever.

864
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: All right, a lot more to get you. We'll get

865
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 1: back into that injury report for the Colts and Raiders

866
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday, because there are some key names

867
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: in it, and as well, Kyle Nettrip going to join us.

868
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: Still on the program today, Kevin Bowen, and it's a

869
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: Franciscan health feel good good for the hard Friday. All

870
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: still to come here ninety three five one on seventy

871
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: five the Fan. You know, every once in a while

872
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: and there is big news to get to here in

873
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,439
Speaker 1: literally just a moment that I will get to about

874
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: the Colts and the Raiders. But every once in a

875
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: while on social media, you'll see somebody that'll post something

876
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: and then the comments just are the best, like just

877
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: average everyday people that and you know, we're like a.

878
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 2: Couple of middle school boys in here just giggling on

879
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 2: some of the stuff that'll question out there on the internet.

880
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 1: So you've heard JAMV and I talk on a regular

881
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: basis about the awesomeness that was the nineteen seventies and

882
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: early eighties NFL pajama set. You had, you had under Rus,

883
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: you had the pajamas, You had the trash can, you

884
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: had letter jackets.

885
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 2: I had all of it, I mean all of it.

886
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 2: Did you have the one that you saw?

887
00:46:58,440 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 6: Oh?

888
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: I have photos of me with the robe and they

889
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: all were made in this like terrible, this weird polyester

890
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: nit deal. And this ad that was posted somebody just

891
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: posted I think it was Super seventy Sports posted it,

892
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 1: and it's an ad from the nineteen seventies for the

893
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: NFL pajamas.

894
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 2: Did you have those specific ones that they were highlighting

895
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 2: in the adjacent.

896
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: Yes, But the one in there at the top, it's

897
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 1: the selling point of the ad in like nineteen seventy

898
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: seven says flame retardant, and it has a picture of

899
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: a kid in his Vikings pajamas and it's and the

900
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: above it it says, if the house is on fire,

901
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: don't worry about little Johnny. He's upstairs at his Vikings pajamas.

902
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: And then the comments are fabulous. But somebody said, you know,

903
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: like Johnny started the fire because they fell asleep with

904
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 1: a lung dart, you know whatever. But those pajamas like

905
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 1: I had, I think everybody somebody else commented, they said,

906
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: my gosh, is if it was wasn't bad enough in

907
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: the eighties worrying about being abducted in nuclear war. Now

908
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: we had house fires breaking out in the middle of

909
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: the night to worry about. Based on that ad. But

910
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: the static electricity from those pajamas, literally, you'd get up

911
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: and take one step in the morning, you look like

912
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: Doc Brown. I mean, the static electricity would shock through

913
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: you like nobody's business.

914
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 2: You didn't need a night light. You just rub up

915
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 2: against something. You'd be sparking out.

916
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 1: No question. Although if it was for a night light

917
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: instead of the nightlight, you just reached over and turned

918
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: on your NFL lamp, which I also had and still have,

919
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: mind you. And is that an antique, boy, it's got

920
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: to be close because it's from probably nineteen seventy eight.

921
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: And again, and I know that you know Ed Holleran

922
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 1: hollers at the clouds over the fact that I mentioned

923
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: that when I was a kid, I was a Steelers fan,

924
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 1: and he like thinks I should be, you know, kicked

925
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: out of Indiana permanently because I did not grow up

926
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: a Colts fan. But Ed doesn't seem to grasp that

927
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: that was hard for me to do because in nineteen

928
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: seventy eight, nineteen seventy nine, nineteen eighty, nineteen eighty one,

929
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two. When I was a kid, the Colts

930
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: were in Baltimore and then were terrible, mind you, but

931
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: for those pajama sets and everything else. You basically you've

932
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: heard me mention this a thousand times. You had your

933
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: choice between Colts, Steelers, Packers, Vikings, oddly enough maybe Bengals

934
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: and Bears, and then the other one would be the Raiders,

935
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: who are coming here this Sunday. And by the way,

936
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: Steelers was the team because my dad worked in the

937
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 1: steel business that I had like, Raiders are coming here.

938
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: And here's what we know in terms of the Colts,

939
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: do we happen to have the breaking news sounder Eddie Tyler, Goodson,

940
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore, the second, Daniel Scott, and Alec Pierce have

941
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: all been ruled out for the Colts game coming up

942
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Now that's not to

943
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 1: say that there are not others that you keep an

944
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: eye on to see. For example, on you know, Matt

945
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: Gonzalvez on the right side of the line. He did

946
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 1: participate in practice all week, but he did not play

947
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: week goo But it looks like he is going to

948
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: be good to go. But there is a receiver for

949
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: the Colts, Eddie that appeared on the injury report kind

950
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: of at the last minute, right.

951
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alexis. But on Alec pierce front, Jake statin Steichen

952
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: said that he didn't clear tusher protocol. Obviously, Pierce felt

953
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 2: bad after practicing on Thursday. Now, the receiver that ended

954
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 2: up on the injury report after yesterday's practice that wasn't

955
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 2: on there following Wednesdays was Michael Pittman Jr.

956
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: With a tissue issue. It was a hamstring injury. A

957
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: tissue issue. Yeah, I don't know that I would want

958
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: any injury of mine listed as a tissue issue.

959
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 2: Right, it's a hamstring injury. He was not listed as

960
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 2: a tissue issue.

961
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,240
Speaker 1: I thought you said it was a tissue issue.

962
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean the hamstring is a tissue. The

963
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 2: hamstring is a muscle, isn't it. The soft tissue is injury.

964
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 2: I thought the soft tissue is I was thinking tissue injury.

965
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 2: I guess you're right. I was thinking tissue injuries were.

966
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: Like when they have like ligament stuff like sprained ankle,

967
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: that kind of thing is always listed as a tissue.

968
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: Can you look that up as a tissue the ligaments

969
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: or is the tissue muscle? It refers to damage occurring

970
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: to the soft parts of the muscule. I can't even

971
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: say that word any muscular muscular skeletal system. There we go,

972
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: including muscles and ligaments. So basically anything that can tear

973
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: is a soft tissue. Otherwise it's a bone, right, But

974
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: I would expect that Pittman goes right. You would think

975
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,439
Speaker 1: so for the Colts. And then on the other side

976
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: of it, you know, brock Bowers still is a question

977
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: mark for the Raiders, but I think for sure Bowers

978
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: goes I think he plays. It's just a matter of

979
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: you know, how effective he's going to be. But he

980
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: is the kind of player that is effective regardless of

981
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: the number of looks he's getting if he's not getting

982
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,919
Speaker 1: open in space. I don't know that you're worried about

983
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: it just because of the fact that he has the ability.

984
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: Does brock Bowers like Tyler Warren? You know, did you

985
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 1: ever play? You know I didn't, so Eddie, certainly I

986
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: would assume that you did not. But there was a

987
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 1: game years ago around the time of the Flame retardant pajamas. Okay,

988
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: there were these games that you could get that were

989
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: magnetic football games, and there would be one little I

990
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: don't even know how it worked exactly, but you would

991
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 1: turn it on and there were all the little army

992
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: looking guys, but there were football players on the on

993
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: this metallic field, and you know, and they'd barely move

994
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 1: around and there was like one and then it would

995
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: it would magnetize and the pieces could come on. There

996
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: was always one piece that just kind of like floated

997
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: around on its own, and other things kind of magnetized

998
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: towards it. That's essentially what Tyler Warren and brock Bauers

999
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 1: both are for their respective offenses. The Yes, the Raiders,

1000
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 1: like the Colts, have a dynamic running back in their

1001
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: backfield that you assume can open things up and get

1002
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: things going for you, but so much of that is

1003
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: based upon the defense being softened out or stretched out.

1004
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to give you the worst analogy

1005
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: of all time.

1006
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I'll just go ahead and I'll fire the sounder.

1007
00:53:51,239 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: Here's okay. I use this analogy when I do track

1008
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: tours for IndyCar stuff, and it's probably more applicable when

1009
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: trying to distinguish the difference between the softer compound red

1010
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: tires and the primary tires in IndyCar racing. But follow

1011
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: me here, Eddie. You have had bazooka gum before? Correct?

1012
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 3: Oh?

1013
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 2: Yes?

1014
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,240
Speaker 1: Or bubble gum hubbah bubba bubble is just yes, yes,

1015
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: when you take that gum okay, and you before you

1016
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: really start chewing it and you know it's been in

1017
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: your mouth for a while and you can you're blowing

1018
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: bubbles with it and whatever else. When you first get

1019
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,439
Speaker 1: that that piece of bazuka bubble gum, I mean, it's

1020
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: like you drop it on the ground. It's like a

1021
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: piece of plastic, right.

1022
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1023
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: But then eventually, after it's been in use a little bit,

1024
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 1: when you can begin to stretch it out. Now, all

1025
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it is much easier to not only

1026
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: blow a bubble, but the expansion of it. It is

1027
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: a lot lighter, and it's easier to poke something through

1028
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: it if you will.

1029
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 2: Big League two, you can get some gnarly bubbles.

1030
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the flavor lasted like half an inning. Yep.

1031
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: But what Tyler Warren and brock Bowers both do for

1032
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 1: their respective offenses. Is it feels like when you look

1033
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: at a defense, the Colts a year ago, offensively speaking,

1034
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: allowed every defense to basically be a fresh out of

1035
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: the rapper piece of Bazuka bubblegum. It just was this

1036
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: block right there. They could load up the box and

1037
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: you weren't worried about the defense didn't have to expand

1038
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: and stretch itself out. But now when you get Tyler

1039
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: Warren on the field and for the Raiders, Block Powers

1040
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: is the same guy. As a matter of fact, you

1041
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 1: would go so far as to say the Colts are

1042
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: basically trying to emulate Brock Powers what those guys do,

1043
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: because you can put them anywhere and you have to

1044
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: constantly be aware of where they are. That defense now

1045
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: is going from being that right out of the wrapper

1046
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: piece of Bazuka bubblegum to one that's needing to be

1047
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: stretched to cover as many areas of the field as possible,

1048
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: and thus it is a lot easier to penetrate through

1049
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: it once you break through. And that's what is so

1050
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: important about brock Bauers for the Raiders, and the fact

1051
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: that defensively you have to be aware, even if you

1052
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: don't know whether or not they're going to test that

1053
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: knee that he's gonna have wrapped to get him the football.

1054
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: The reality is that you have to be aware of

1055
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: where he is and that stretches you out now where

1056
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: you just can't load that up and be that one

1057
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 1: square piece.

1058
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 2: Also yes to agree. Also, Shane Steikeen was asked today

1059
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 2: about the status of a d Mitchell and if I'll

1060
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 2: play on Sunday and for some reason, Jake, I've seen

1061
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 2: a lot of reporting that there was some random noises

1062
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 2: and if you recall Jake, that that specific Jack and

1063
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 2: that will care that happens when they're working through stuff.

1064
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 2: That's right, That's that's right, and so yeah, Shane Steikeen's said,

1065
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 2: we're working through that when asked about eighty Mitchell's playing

1066
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 2: status for Sunday.

1067
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: Now just out of curiosity is that because and wait

1068
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: for it here. But the other sound effect that you

1069
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 1: can hear it and it doesn't necessarily come from the

1070
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: field where you hear that noise of guys working through it,

1071
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 1: but rather when you get back towards the locker room

1072
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: area and near the showers, there are oftentimes guys that

1073
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: simply afterwards, you know what they have to do correct, Eddie.

1074
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: You can hear it. You can hear them singing it

1075
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: from afar because if they once they work through some things,

1076
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: then they can go out there. But if they just

1077
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: have the slightest of hiccups, that means the next day

1078
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: they've got to do this.

1079
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 2: And I bat on me, Jake, bad producer.

1080
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't have a ready. You don't have the zestfully

1081
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: clean sounder. I don't have already. I'm so sorry. That's

1082
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: not a hot key. We need to have a meeting

1083
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: about this. They have that hot key, we have that,

1084
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: but you don't have the the the always popular we

1085
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: got to clean it up sound bite. There we go.

1086
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: That's the sound you hear once they've gone out there

1087
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: and they just simply have to clean things up. This

1088
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: is a process setting, not unlike this program. You know

1089
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 1: what we got to do in this program, right, We

1090
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: come in each and every day just to try to

1091
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: get work done right at noon, right, And this is

1092
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: what it sounds like when, of course we just come

1093
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: in to try to get the job done. But then

1094
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: if all of a sudden I asked for something and

1095
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: there's a slight hiccup and a delay, it simply means

1096
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: that we got to clean some things up. Right now,

1097
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 1: you hear that first, and then you hear this. That's right,

1098
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 1: you see that is the official sounder of last year's Colts.

1099
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: But then they've gone to work. They put the hard

1100
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: hats on and they're getting out there. But it is

1101
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: curious to see who it without Alec Pierce. Pierce has

1102
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: the same impact, to be honest with you as Warren

1103
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 1: to an extent, and we didn't think that initially. We

1104
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: thought Alec Pierce was the guy that was there to

1105
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: open things up because you had to always be aware

1106
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: of him for the long ball situation. I think we're

1107
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: seeing that Daniel Jones does have that capability, maybe not

1108
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: to the level of the unpredictability of when you can

1109
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: get the long ball out of him like they did

1110
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: with Anthony Richardson. But the thought process by so many people,

1111
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 1: myself included going into the season was gosh, now that

1112
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is the quarterback, then Alec Pierce he's got

1113
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: to be it. Kinko's putting together his resume because he

1114
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: is wemply a what's that he's where Kinkos? That's an

1115
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: old uh. Now it's FedEx Okay, but that's where you

1116
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: used to go, and you know he's on the LinkedIn

1117
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: to put it in twenty twenty five terms, that was

1118
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: the thought, because Pierce is a long ball receiver that

1119
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: gets behind the defense and then boom, they don't have

1120
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: anybody get in the bather now. And then all of

1121
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: a sudden, as Shane Steichen has done really well, he

1122
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: realizes and draws up play and comes up with different

1123
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: ways to utilize pieces, and they started using Pierce in

1124
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 1: a completely different way, right, in a completely different way.

1125
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 2: He just turned tried to turn himself into a more

1126
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 2: complete receiver to where I forget who we've had on

1127
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 2: that that's talked about this. Maybe it was Joeli Ericson.

1128
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 2: I'm saying just the added element of Pierce being a

1129
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 2: threat to operate in those intermediate routes opens up the

1130
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 2: ability to stretch the field because before you could just

1131
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 2: sit on it and you would know that, hey, Pierce

1132
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 2: is primarily going to run a go or a deep

1133
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 2: post and and that's all he's gonna do. Now you

1134
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 2: have to you have to be a little more cognizantive

1135
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,919
Speaker 2: and aware of the fact that hey, he could cut

1136
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 2: over the cut over the middle of the field. And

1137
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 2: next thing, you know, that's another added element and you

1138
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 2: can get Tyler Warren running behind it. Like there's so

1139
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 2: many things now that you can do when Alec Pierce

1140
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 2: is out there because of the fact that he has

1141
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 2: now put it on tape that he can win over

1142
01:00:58,280 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 2: the middle of the field.

1143
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 1: Hey, Jake, I was at Kinko's last week, justin and

1144
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: Fisher's let's go. Have you asked you this? What's ed?

1145
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this on the ad front? How

1146
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 2: do you handle that? How would you handle it? Because

1147
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 2: I think I may have a different opinion than you.

1148
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 1: Adie Mitchell. I'm not in the locker room right And

1149
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 1: when I say that, and I don't mean I don't

1150
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: mean like I'm not in there doing interviews. I mean literally,

1151
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: we are not in there behind closed doors right to hear.

1152
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 2: What is actually said correct or in the meeting rooms

1153
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 2: for that matter.

1154
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: I know that. Here's the thing I would say about

1155
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: the situation with Adie Mitchell. I think you have to

1156
01:01:52,960 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: read into the way the teammates reacted to him. If

1157
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: Ady Mitchell is an immature guy that is footloose and

1158
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 1: fancy free and just doesn't get it. The narrative on

1159
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 1: him coming out of college was the fact that he

1160
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: there were red flags. Those red flags were a combination

1161
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: of lack of attention to detail, lack of understanding of

1162
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: what needs to be done, potential lack of professionalism. That's

1163
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: why ten receivers went before him. He's a talented guy

1164
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: out of a pedigree program, but there were red flags.

1165
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: He did not get off to a great start as

1166
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: a rookie, not because of any sort of from what

1167
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: we could tell you big indiscretion, but just the numbers

1168
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: weren't there, The production was not there. The reality is

1169
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: from a public standpoint and in game situation, and if

1170
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting one, feel free to remind or correct me

1171
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: at But I don't know that there has been a

1172
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: game where we have seen that egregious a back to

1173
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: back for him in his career so far. I mean

1174
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: there have been times where he's been quiet, but in

1175
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: terms of just bone headed plays, yeah, and it absolutely

1176
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 1: merits a discipline of some sort or an awakening. But

1177
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: I think you have to look at the way that

1178
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 1: his teammates reacted to him and supported him and supported him,

1179
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: and not just it's one thing for guys to come

1180
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: out and say, you know, I've had co workers, and

1181
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: I want to be very clear, none of them that

1182
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: work here currently, but I've had co workers in my

1183
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: past that people ask me about it and I'm like, oh, yeah,

1184
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: good guy, and I say the right thing, but deep down,

1185
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, na, he's like the most toxic person I've

1186
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 1: ever been around, right, but I say the right things publicly.

1187
01:03:56,560 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: So I understand that when we are asking questions, that

1188
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: we are asking questions that a lot of times athletes

1189
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: in general are going to keep things kind of private

1190
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: and not air out what goes on. But you can

1191
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: see it in body language and when players are going

1192
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: out of their way to be the one to speak

1193
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: up without being asked about it. So it does appear

1194
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: as though it is a locker room that for now

1195
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: wants Ady Mitchell to get like his you know, he

1196
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: needs to learn from it. But he is remorseful, he

1197
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: has stepped up, he has apologized to the team. He

1198
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: and it does seem like it's a locker room that

1199
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 1: wants him to succeed. So therefore there is an element

1200
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 1: of from a leadership standpoint, allowing within the pack to

1201
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: let those guys sort it out themselves and let the

1202
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner's and the Zire Franklin's and you know, offensively,

1203
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: probably Quintin Else's and everybody says is a real offensive leader.

1204
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: You know, let those guys be the ones to kind

1205
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: of handle the situation. I think sometimes in coaching and

1206
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: sometimes in any walk of life, that the best management

1207
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: sometimes is recognizing and understanding when to interfere and when

1208
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 1: to let the natural process sort itself out. And if

1209
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: you are the Indianapolis Colts and you're Chris Bollen and

1210
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: Shane Steiken, you have to trust that part of your

1211
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 1: job was not only in who you selected on your roster,

1212
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 1: but how you have coached them. And I hate to

1213
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: use the term culture because it's so overused, but the

1214
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 1: culture that you've created. At some point you have to

1215
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: allow that to stand on its own legs, where you

1216
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 1: then let that take care of itself, and you trust

1217
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: that what you have laid out for them in terms

1218
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 1: of what the anticipation and expectation not only of what

1219
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: you want from players, but what you want from them

1220
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: as teammates, sorts itself out. So for this situation to

1221
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: answer your question, because from what we can see it's

1222
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 1: really the first of what was it's the first big

1223
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 1: red flag that's been waived. I think for the first situation,

1224
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: you let it play out organically and you trust that

1225
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: the players that the other players that you've selected. What

1226
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: did Chris Ballard want say that you could take players

1227
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: that were of question if you had a locker room

1228
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: that was of not because that would take care of itself.

1229
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: This is the t pat Knight, Pat Knight, what did

1230
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: he say? You could have one knucklehead, but if you

1231
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 1: have two, they breed.

1232
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, of course that's replacing an expletive that we can't.

1233
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: Sell the radio. But that's what he said, right, I mean,

1234
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: patly get you can have one, but you get too

1235
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: they breed.

1236
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 2: I would like to just see them. Let him have

1237
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 2: the opportunity to prove that he's put it behind him.

1238
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.

1239
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 2: Don't put him on a snap count, don't even like,

1240
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 2: don't try to. I guess you can't consider mentioning it.

1241
01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 2: But I think it's a little bit of greecious because

1242
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 2: I just don't think you need to go to those

1243
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 2: extreme levels. But see how he responds this week. Don't

1244
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 2: back out there like you did last week without Alec Pearce.

1245
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 2: How does he respond? That is the big part of

1246
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 2: this because it will test the maturity, it'll test the professionalism.

1247
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 2: Of course, we can't see how he operated all week

1248
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 2: in practice, but we can see how he's operating out there,

1249
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 2: you know, on Sunday against the Raiders. Like, if it's

1250
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 2: me personally, I would like to see them go to

1251
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 2: Adie Mitchell right away, get him the ball, let him

1252
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 2: have that last week out of his mind, get him going,

1253
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 2: and the flow of the offense a little bit, you know,

1254
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 2: the bill is confidence in his swagger up a little bit.

1255
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 1: That show that I watched last night, the first two

1256
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 1: episodes of it, if you were not with us, at

1257
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 1: the top of the show, I mentioned that I was

1258
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: watching the Rams game against the Niners, and I was

1259
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: curious as to the way that Max Jones played against

1260
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Does that give us any glimpse as to

1261
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: who we do or don't have here in Indiapolis with

1262
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. Because Jones threw two picks, although again he

1263
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 1: was very rushed. I mean, there were lot of factors

1264
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: that go into that. But as I'm sitting there thinking

1265
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: about that, and that game ended and I'm a moron.

1266
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: I didn't realize because I was watching the game obviously

1267
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: on Prime. I didn't realize that I have like that

1268
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 1: my cable system. And yes, I mean I do pay,

1269
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,679
Speaker 1: you know. I mean it's I have like the full

1270
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: bundle or whatever now, and so it's got all these

1271
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: different apps and I didn't realize that I had all

1272
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 1: of them on there. And then I got to look

1273
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: at like okay, which one of these are monthly bills,

1274
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: which one are trials? Whatever else? But I went on Hulu,

1275
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm like okay, and I clicked on it, and the

1276
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,759
Speaker 1: first thing that popped up was, you know, knew Hulu

1277
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 1: original show. I'll give this a try. I don't even

1278
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: know anything about it. Boom, I hit on it. I

1279
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 1: should have known about it. Chad Powers is the name

1280
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 1: of the show. It was produced by the Manning brothers,

1281
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: and the show itself is about a guy that was

1282
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:55,560
Speaker 1: a famed college quarterback at Oregon that falls into disgrace,

1283
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,240
Speaker 1: his career comes to an end, and then he kind

1284
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 1: of pulls a Missus Doubt fire. It's based on a

1285
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: skit Eli Manning had done a couple of years ago.

1286
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 1: But he pulls a missus doubt fire to change his

1287
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 1: identity and go to a new school and try to

1288
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,679
Speaker 1: relaunch his career. Okay, so it's kind of a comedy.

1289
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 1: It's not a bad show. It was. I enjoyed it.

1290
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 1: I watched two episodes. Whatever. But the interesting thing is

1291
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 1: no spoiler alert here, but the show begins with his

1292
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:23,639
Speaker 1: disgrace comes in the National Championship game against Oregon where

1293
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: he is running for a touchdown and wait for it,

1294
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 1: he drops the ball at the one yard line and

1295
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 1: then boom. We've seen it not once but twice in

1296
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: Indianapolis in the last two years.

1297
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 2: You know, I wonder if they had to do this

1298
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 2: after Jake. You know, if you try going down on

1299
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 2: the Circle, you'll hear this or it is unbelievable.

1300
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: They haven't had steps out here, literally, and I've worked

1301
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: here for how long now?

1302
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 2: Or hell, you can go down market or Capital and

1303
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,720
Speaker 2: you can go down in Illinois. Should that's all you here?

1304
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. The steps on Monument Circle like

1305
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 1: we will. I don't know what the stadium will ultimately

1306
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,639
Speaker 1: replace Lucas Oil Stadium, but Lucas Oil Stadium already now

1307
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:06,799
Speaker 1: is like six years away from the age the RCAA

1308
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:09,240
Speaker 1: doom was when we imploded it. I kid you not.

1309
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 1: We will have a new stadium proposal funding and one

1310
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 1: built that looks like Jerry World in this town and

1311
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 1: they still won't have the steps repaired. On Monument Circle,

1312
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. There's like one guy out there having a

1313
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: couple of heaters standing around, debris everywhere.

1314
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,639
Speaker 2: A couple lung darts, a couple lung darts.

1315
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: Kyle Netton written by the way, high school football, lots

1316
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: of guys getting to work under the lights on Friday

1317
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: night lights. We'll talk to him about it next. So

1318
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: that show I mentioned, Chad Powers, it's I mean, it's

1319
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: a fun show. It's not a serious a show to

1320
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 1: be taken seriously at all, and it's got obviously it's

1321
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you got to suspend some reality

1322
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 1: when you're watching it. But essentially what happens is this

1323
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: guy who's this quarterback in a big game. His team lost,

1324
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 1: primarily simply because he was completely clueless as to how

1325
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: to act, especially once they lost the game.

1326
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 6: Right, speaking of lost and clueless, So we bring on

1327
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 6: Kyle Needdrip from The Ndstar.

1328
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, because it's Friday night under the lights.

1329
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 1: Tonight big games, including one that he is going to

1330
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 1: be seeing a player that I did not realize. Right

1331
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:23,360
Speaker 1: here in Indiana we have one of the top recruits

1332
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: in the country as an underclassman. I think that's one

1333
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 1: of them that Kyle, Needd and Rip will see tonight.

1334
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 1: But we'll get to that. Kyle, how are you.

1335
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 6: Hey doing well? Have you watched that show yet?

1336
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:31,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1337
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 6: That's pretty good.

1338
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:33,760
Speaker 1: So have you watched it?

1339
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 6: I only know of it. I have not watched an

1340
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 6: episode yet.

1341
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 1: There are two episodes. Here's what I like about it, okay,

1342
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 1: And for those that are unfamiliar, this is the show

1343
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 1: that was largely put together by Omahall Productions, which is

1344
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 1: Peyton and Eli Manning. It is taken off of the

1345
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,639
Speaker 1: skit that many people probably saw where Eli Manning went

1346
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,600
Speaker 1: into sguise and showed up and I can't remember what

1347
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 1: school it was and acted like he was walking on

1348
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 1: And it's the same premise. A guy you know is

1349
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 1: trying to resurrect his football career, so he goes in

1350
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, missus doubt fire basically, so yeah, I mean

1351
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: it's hokey and cheesy, but it is fun. And each

1352
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: episode's like thirty five minutes, right, So yeah, I liked it,

1353
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: to be honest, It's only two episodes in, but I

1354
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: liked it nice.

1355
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 6: It feels like we miss comedies now, so I was

1356
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 6: gonna check it out.

1357
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: Have you seen did you the only others that I've

1358
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 1: seen of late? And I know that this is really

1359
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 1: you know, cliche here, but did you watch Ted Lasso?

1360
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 6: I don't, uh whatever app that whatever that's on and

1361
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 6: we don't have it, so I've only seen a friend's ass.

1362
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:35,600
Speaker 6: I watched a couple episodes, but have not watched the

1363
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 6: whole thing.

1364
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's awesome. Now another one, but if

1365
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 1: you didn't watch, I think the same because I'm with you, Kyle,

1366
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:44,600
Speaker 1: like I never know what study you know, I'm always like, no,

1367
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 1: which one's that on? Because there's like twenty eight different apps?

1368
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:50,840
Speaker 1: Right land Man, have you seen that with Billy Bob Thornton.

1369
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 1: It's not a comedy, but it has a lot of

1370
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 1: funny parts in it. Have you seen that? Yeah?

1371
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 6: I did start on that because that was I watched

1372
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 6: nineteen twenty three was that and enjoyed that. I think

1373
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 6: that's on the same streaming platform, right that's right.

1374
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, those might be paramount. Yeah. And then

1375
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: the other one is Stick, which is kind of like

1376
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 1: ted Lasso but not near as good, but has Owen

1377
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,839
Speaker 1: Wilson and it's about golf and it takes place in Indiana.

1378
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 1: It's pretty good.

1379
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:17,679
Speaker 6: Okay, I heard about that one too.

1380
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 1: It's good. All right. So let's get to the games

1381
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 1: that you'll be streaming if you will, not really you'll

1382
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: be watching them in person tonight. You are going to

1383
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 1: be at Warren Central and Lawrence North. Correct.

1384
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, you mentioned Manchune Sales. The five star receiver that

1385
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 6: Lawrence North has and pretty cool honor for him. I

1386
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:39,080
Speaker 6: don't remember how many you know, five stars we've had.

1387
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 6: I mean, there haven't been a ton, I would say

1388
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 6: to reach that stature. You know, it's basically talking about

1389
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 6: top twenty five in his class in the country, and

1390
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:51,519
Speaker 6: he's actually twenty four to seven Sports, which does a

1391
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 6: good job covering, you know, recruiting and you know, in

1392
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 6: my opinion, doing rankings and things like that. They have

1393
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 6: him number six this week that came out, so you know,

1394
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 6: that's a that's a pretty cool honor for him.

1395
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he is what year he's only a junior.

1396
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 6: So this is the twenty twenty seven class, so he's Kyle.

1397
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 1: What's interesting to me about this is and you tell me,

1398
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you cover high school sports. You know, typically

1399
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 1: if a player is a top ten national level player

1400
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 1: in basketball, we know of them as a household name

1401
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 1: by the time they're like a sophomore. But yet it

1402
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: seems like we see more of from the football standpoint,

1403
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 1: players not getting on that radar until the latter part

1404
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:38,800
Speaker 1: of their high school career. Am I off base in

1405
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: saying that, No.

1406
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 6: That's totally correct. I would say, And even sales last

1407
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 6: year was really good. You know, Lawrence North was, you know,

1408
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:47,680
Speaker 6: and if they would have made it the state, I

1409
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 6: think he would probably be a name that's even more

1410
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 6: out there. But they, you know, Brownsburg flipped him by

1411
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 6: one point in the regional, so they he didn't quite

1412
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 6: get on that stage. But he had a great year

1413
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,639
Speaker 6: last year. But even to your point, as a freshman,

1414
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 6: you know, he was not even on varsity. So you know,

1415
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 6: when you're talking about basketball, normally those top players are

1416
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 6: already you know, they come into freshman year and they're

1417
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 6: you know, even if they're not a star player, they're

1418
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 6: already like, oh, that kid's gonna be a star.

1419
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 5: You know.

1420
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,839
Speaker 6: Whereas football, you know, you oftentimes don't put a fourteen

1421
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 6: fifteen year old kid out there against eighteen year olds

1422
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 6: just because they're not you know, your body's just not

1423
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 6: ready for that yet. So it's pretty rare even for

1424
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 6: him like last year. You know, he's so much better

1425
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 6: this year than last year. I would say, you know,

1426
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:32,840
Speaker 6: and just I'm looking forward to seeing him play tonight.

1427
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:35,479
Speaker 6: But he you know, you could see it last year

1428
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 6: like he was the you know, he he's a very

1429
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 6: physical uh specimen, you know, six foot four or five,

1430
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:43,840
Speaker 6: you know, and then you know, so he looks the

1431
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:45,640
Speaker 6: part walking in and then you watch him play and

1432
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 6: it's like, okay, but he wasn't you know, Davion Chandler

1433
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 6: was their top receiver last year and he went to

1434
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 6: AU uh so even last year he wasn't their top

1435
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 6: you know, top at that position. Even so you know,

1436
01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 6: to your point, that's I think that's absolutely correct. There

1437
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,720
Speaker 6: are there are kids who come in and you know,

1438
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 6: play more as a freshman, but I would say more

1439
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 6: of the time that's at the probably at the smaller

1440
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 6: class levels or you know, depending on positions. Sometimes sometimes

1441
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:12,160
Speaker 6: you see a freshman quarterback come in, but you know,

1442
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:14,840
Speaker 6: some of the more physical positions, it takes, you know,

1443
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:16,719
Speaker 6: it takes a couple of years for most most kids.

1444
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 3: Man.

1445
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: I mean I'm looking at it right here, Okay, six

1446
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 1: five five, So obviously there's a little bit of bulk

1447
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: that needs to go on there, right But you know,

1448
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 1: and already, I mean just the list of schools, I

1449
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: mean it's basically everyone. Clearly he's going to have his

1450
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 1: choice of where he wants to go. But to go

1451
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 1: back further on this, are we talking about and it's

1452
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:37,800
Speaker 1: pronounced is it Monshun? Is that how you say his

1453
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 1: first name? Yeah? Monjune sales at Lawrence North. Are we

1454
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,680
Speaker 1: are we talking about somebody that is now on the

1455
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 1: radar because of just the intangibles quote unquote, or is

1456
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: their body of work on the field where you go, Yeah,

1457
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's been a different level already or

1458
01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 1: is it more so what it looks like he's going

1459
01:16:58,439 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 1: to grow into.

1460
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:02,479
Speaker 6: I think it's a combination. I mean, he is producing,

1461
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 6: you know, and he did, like I said, last year,

1462
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 6: he had like probably six hundred yards close to that

1463
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:09,479
Speaker 6: receiving and also what I think helps him. Jake too,

1464
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 6: is he ran track this past spring and his numbers

1465
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 6: are really good. You know, I don't have him out

1466
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 6: the top of my head, but he he performed really

1467
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:17,640
Speaker 6: well in track, so you could kind of see the

1468
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:21,800
Speaker 6: track speed translate to football and when you're doing that

1469
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 6: at the height he's at, I mean, that's that's he's

1470
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 6: not not like he's a five to ten you know,

1471
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 6: speed burner. He's a six four speed burner, six five speeds.

1472
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 6: So so that I think also is a good thing

1473
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 6: for him. And Pat Mallory, the coach at l N.

1474
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 6: You know, he he coaches tracks, so he gets a

1475
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 6: lot of his football guys to do track. And what

1476
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 6: a great you know thing that is because you know

1477
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,680
Speaker 6: those track you know, track numbers translate, you know, and

1478
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 6: then those track workouts translate. So I think that helped

1479
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 6: him too. And he just looks like a you know,

1480
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 6: I haven't said this will be the first time tonight

1481
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,440
Speaker 6: I've seen him in person this year other than practices,

1482
01:17:56,520 --> 01:18:00,639
Speaker 6: but uh, you know everything, you know, he just physical

1483
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 6: more just I wouldn't even say more physical, just more built,

1484
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:07,639
Speaker 6: you know, more just comfortable I think with with who

1485
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 6: he is and as a player that's you know, very

1486
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,639
Speaker 6: much obvious. And they have a new quarterback this year too,

1487
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 6: so that's another transition that they have quarterback last year

1488
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:17,760
Speaker 6: graduated and they have a really good one this year,

1489
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 6: Darien Prather. But but yeah, I mean, he he, you know,

1490
01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:24,920
Speaker 6: And I always kind of, you always kind of worry

1491
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:27,839
Speaker 6: about kids getting ranked too highly because then it's almost

1492
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 6: like where do you have to go from there? You know,

1493
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 6: it kind of becomes a thing where it's like, you know,

1494
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:34,680
Speaker 6: he didn't rank himself. There other kids I've covered, like,

1495
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:36,799
Speaker 6: you know, they didn't ask to be ranked that highly,

1496
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 6: so you know, but then the criticism comes to when

1497
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:41,439
Speaker 6: you don't put up two hundred yards a game or

1498
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 6: score thirty points a game, you know. And in gosh,

1499
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 6: I heard so many adults ragging on high school kids

1500
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 6: for for that sort of thing. I can't count how

1501
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 6: many times. But but yeah, I mean, I I definitely

1502
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 6: think he's gonna be able to choose wherever he wants

1503
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 6: to go, and it's gonna be you know, it's going

1504
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:00,680
Speaker 6: to be a blue blood school or whatever you want

1505
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 6: to categorize that as he's going to have his choice

1506
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 6: of whatever he wants to go to.

1507
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 1: Kyle, when you look at this week in Kyle and Edrip,

1508
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Star high school football writer is our guest this

1509
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,839
Speaker 1: weekend Lucas Oil Stadium, it's the Colts and the Raiders.

1510
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 1: Raiders are a team that you know, there was some

1511
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 1: question about him coming into the year, but we talked

1512
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 1: to JT. The Brick yesterday who does Raiders radio, and

1513
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: he was saying he's like, look, the time is now.

1514
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: If they don't get a win now, then it's it

1515
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 1: is a boulder in the stream game perhaps for Las Vegas.

1516
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:32,759
Speaker 1: I know we're a little later in the high school slate,

1517
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: but is there a team that you look at and

1518
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:38,720
Speaker 1: you say, expected a little bit more and this is

1519
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: the weekend where it's got to get going in the

1520
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: right direction for them.

1521
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1522
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 6: I mean I would say JT the Brick too, what man,

1523
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 6: I remember listening to him back in the day. I

1524
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 6: didn't know he was doing Raiders. He probably has done

1525
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 6: that for a long time.

1526
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's out. He's been in Vegas he said for

1527
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 1: twenty four years or something like that.

1528
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, I remember listening to him on I think

1529
01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:59,799
Speaker 6: he's doing overnights. Maybe when I was delivering Domino's pizzas

1530
01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 6: back in the day.

1531
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:03,559
Speaker 1: But regardless, I would Yeah, I mean deliver a lot

1532
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 1: of Dominoes in the late night. Yes, what was your

1533
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 1: what was your shift? Let's hold the phone here on

1534
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: the on the football question. What was your shift while

1535
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 1: you were delivering Domino's pizza? Count?

1536
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:14,519
Speaker 3: Then?

1537
01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:18,599
Speaker 6: Oh, what did I walk into here? I'm uh the trap?

1538
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:19,880
Speaker 5: Uh?

1539
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 6: I think we closed on weeknights. We were at two

1540
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 6: a m. So I worked a lot of the back

1541
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 6: in the day. They would give you a pager though,

1542
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 6: if they let you off that you were.

1543
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:29,960
Speaker 1: Like a mix a lot run around.

1544
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, right, they would give you, give you a pager.

1545
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 1: And the doctors right.

1546
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,120
Speaker 6: For for a rush, they would bring you back in.

1547
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 6: Uh but uh, yeah, I think it was two o'clock

1548
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 6: or so.

1549
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:42,640
Speaker 1: You ever pick up any chicks that thought you were

1550
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 1: a surgeon because you'll run around with your beeper.

1551
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:47,679
Speaker 6: I don't think so. No, I don't remember that happening.

1552
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 1: What in what community were you delivering Domino's pizzas at

1553
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 1: two in the morning?

1554
01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 6: This was in uh, Lincoln, Nebraska when I was in well,

1555
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:57,160
Speaker 6: I guess it was college and then I come home

1556
01:20:57,320 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 6: in high school and then I come home for.

1557
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: College and I do that too. What was the biggest

1558
01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 1: tip you ever got or the craziest situation you ever

1559
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 1: drove yourself into?

1560
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,920
Speaker 6: Oh boy, there's there's things I can't say over the

1561
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 6: radio that were kind of strange, but I did. I

1562
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 6: was offered drugs one time, very late at night. I'll

1563
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 6: say that, what'd you say?

1564
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 1: Did you say yes? Or no?

1565
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 8: I'm just kidding.

1566
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 1: No, have you ever hear any of you ever hear

1567
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 1: any soft music? And then Nina Hartley suddenly showed up.

1568
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 6: No, no, no stories to that effect. But yeah, there

1569
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 6: was there's it's uh, you know, it was an interesting job.

1570
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I would imagine the fair share of Jeff's

1571
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: Baccoli's ordering pizza for you, right, just you know, eating

1572
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:40,599
Speaker 1: learning about Cuba and eating some food. Right.

1573
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 6: Well, you a lot of those late calls. You would

1574
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:45,519
Speaker 6: go to the house. Then this is before even map

1575
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:47,600
Speaker 6: quest or Internet, but you go to the house and

1576
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:50,600
Speaker 6: they would be passed out, you know, they wouldn't even

1577
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 6: so then you then you'd get a Then you'd bring

1578
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:54,760
Speaker 6: home the pizza and our manager and say, I just

1579
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:56,600
Speaker 6: take it, take it home, you know.

1580
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 1: Ari Liondyke won the nineteen ninety car number thirty sponsored

1581
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 1: by Domino's Pizzas. Back then their ad campaign was thirty

1582
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:07,360
Speaker 1: minutes or less er It's free. Yeah yep, so and

1583
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: then they actually had some legal things with that and

1584
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 1: so therefore, but listen, nothing wrong with that. But now,

1585
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:14,799
Speaker 1: of course it would be Chicago's Pizza would be the preference.

1586
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,760
Speaker 1: But okay, so give me the team or the school

1587
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 1: that just needs to get things turned around.

1588
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:23,680
Speaker 6: Well, the game I was thinking of, and it's not

1589
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 6: necessarily get turned around, but I would say the game

1590
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:29,640
Speaker 6: that probably falls into that category would be Avon and

1591
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 6: Westfield because you know, Avon is now, you know, they've

1592
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 6: lost three out of four. I think they're I think

1593
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:38,559
Speaker 6: they're a really good team. Westfield is a team that

1594
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:42,719
Speaker 6: obviously they've been really good for years these past few years,

1595
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 6: Avon hasn't been able to knock them off here recently.

1596
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 6: But I think this is going to be a great matchup,

1597
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 6: and you don't want to go into you know, the

1598
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 6: end of the season here losing too many, you know,

1599
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 6: in a row or a chunk of games. So that's

1600
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 6: I think a game to watch that, you know, see

1601
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:02,639
Speaker 6: if Avon can be Westfield at home tonight. Westfield played

1602
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:05,679
Speaker 6: really well last week against Brownsburg, so you know, I'd

1603
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:08,600
Speaker 6: say that that game probably falls into that category.

1604
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:09,040
Speaker 1: You know.

1605
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 6: Also of interest, I think too, is just the Center

1606
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 6: Grove Cathedral game. You know, Center Grove is a six

1607
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 6: to oh team, but you know haven't played maybe you know,

1608
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 6: they've played some teams that are not having great seasons,

1609
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 6: I would say, and then you know, they played out

1610
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:25,759
Speaker 6: of state team, so we haven't really got a gauge

1611
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:27,880
Speaker 6: on that. That's kind of a gauge game, I would say,

1612
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 6: because the next two weeks they played Cathedral and Lawrence

1613
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 6: North back to back weeks, and you know, seems like

1614
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:35,799
Speaker 6: this time of yearly Center Grove is playing its best

1615
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 6: football going into the tournament. And you know, I think

1616
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 6: that's really one of note to uh that'll give us

1617
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 6: maybe a good representation on where Center Grove's at right

1618
01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:45,679
Speaker 6: now as a program.

1619
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he can coach man. I mean, that's just that's

1620
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: one of those programs that you if they're not strong

1621
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 1: by the end of the year. You know, some coaches, Kyle,

1622
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 1: would you agree, just have this ability that their team

1623
01:23:57,200 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 1: Cathedrals in this category as well, because you look at

1624
01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:02,040
Speaker 1: their schedule a lot of times and you feel like

1625
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 1: they're having a down year and then you realize they're

1626
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 1: just loading it up where they get incrementally better each

1627
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 1: and every week and by the end of the year

1628
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 1: then it all comes together for them.

1629
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1630
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 6: I mean, I think the good coaches or you know,

1631
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,320
Speaker 6: the great coaches, you know, by the end of the season,

1632
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,640
Speaker 6: they're kind of molded into the style that you know,

1633
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 6: you expect out of those programs, and you know it's

1634
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 6: it's based on personnel and adjusting to what you have

1635
01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 6: as a team. But I always, you know, I always

1636
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:30,439
Speaker 6: sense that with Center Grove as they and Cathened Early

1637
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 6: you mentioned them too, but you know they kind of

1638
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:36,160
Speaker 6: play to their to the way that the you know,

1639
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 6: the coaches like to play, and I think, you know,

1640
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 6: Center Grove has changed with that. So I'm over the

1641
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 6: years where they think good coaches like Eric Moore do

1642
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:44,479
Speaker 6: is you know, they're more of a passing team than

1643
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 6: they used to be. But you know, their best teams

1644
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:49,280
Speaker 6: they always they're always able to run the ball, they

1645
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:52,320
Speaker 6: always have, you know, really good defenses, and you know,

1646
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 6: I think we'll find out these next couple of weeks

1647
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 6: just maybe where they are exactly. But you know, they're

1648
01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 6: always like when I see them early in the year,

1649
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 6: I always kind of think, well, that's I'll be part

1650
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 6: of the team we're going to see later. But but

1651
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 6: they're going to be dramatically better, and injuries will play.

1652
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 6: You know, they've they've had a couple tough injuries too,

1653
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 6: so that always plays a factor. But uh, but yeah,

1654
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 6: they're they're I always think when they're in October November,

1655
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:16,839
Speaker 6: they're they're a different team than they were in August.

1656
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 1: By the way, Tenley and Crystal House that matchup tonight,

1657
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 1: because we always try to focus on what the kids

1658
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 1: are doing at some of the schools that you don't

1659
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 1: hear as much about. Best to look to both those

1660
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 1: schools as well, Addicts and short Ridge tonight, two schools

1661
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:32,920
Speaker 1: that attics short Ridge. I mean, that's I guess you

1662
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 1: would say. Obviously from a traditional standpoint, Kyle, we're talking

1663
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:38,759
Speaker 1: an old school rivalry game there, right.

1664
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, Man, you think about the basketball games, you'll go

1665
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:44,120
Speaker 6: back in the history of the I love you know,

1666
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:46,679
Speaker 6: I've talked to some of those players from the era

1667
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:49,759
Speaker 6: of the fifties and the sixties also football were rivals.

1668
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 6: But you know, man, there weren't any bigger games. You know,

1669
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 6: it's fun to go back on the the archives sometimes

1670
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 6: and like you know, Addicts and short Ridge, we're playing

1671
01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:01,240
Speaker 6: these games in front of you fourteen thousand people at

1672
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 6: the hinkle Fieldhouse back in the day. So you know,

1673
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 6: how cool to relive some of that stuff and talk

1674
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 6: to some of those players over the years.

1675
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:10,680
Speaker 1: But by the way, lastly, so if you'd show up

1676
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 1: with the pizza and the guy had passed out, did

1677
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 1: you I mean, did you try to wake them up?

1678
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:17,680
Speaker 1: Did you just you rang the doorbell three times and

1679
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 1: then weren't there and you just made your own conclusion?

1680
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 1: Did they maybe leave? I mean, did you administer CPR?

1681
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean, how did this work?

1682
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 8: You would call?

1683
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 6: They used to have a number, you know, they put

1684
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 6: the home phone number on the on the side of

1685
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:34,519
Speaker 6: the box or whatever. Or you'd get in and so

1686
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 6: you'd have to call. Uh, you'd have the the uh.

1687
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 6: Uh you go back to the store, you know, do

1688
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:42,640
Speaker 6: you take it back and call them? Because back then

1689
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 6: we didn't have cell phones. So uh, but you'd go

1690
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:47,040
Speaker 6: back to the store and call them back. And if

1691
01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 6: they didn't answer, but yeah, just ring the doorbell, you know,

1692
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 6: several times.

1693
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:53,040
Speaker 1: And did you ever get this, because I'm not saying

1694
01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 1: that I ever did this, but my understanding as kids

1695
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 1: used to did you ever get it? Where clearly what

1696
01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 1: it was was it was like a prank of somebody's

1697
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:02,599
Speaker 1: sending a pizza to someone's house that that didn't actually

1698
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 1: order it.

1699
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:06,880
Speaker 6: I had that a couple of times. Yeah, you know,

1700
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 6: and yeah, that was that was something that happened occasionally.

1701
01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

1702
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:13,880
Speaker 6: It was once you got past midnight, there was about

1703
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 6: anything could happen. You never knew what was about to happen.

1704
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like Uncle Jake's taxi Eddie that I run

1705
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve, Right, no puking in the jeep. Right,

1706
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:24,120
Speaker 1: although the jeep puked on itself and they're putting a

1707
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 1: new engine in it, and I got another week before

1708
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 1: I get it back. That's a whole different talk show, Kyle,

1709
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 1: all Right, we didn't know that we were going to

1710
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:31,639
Speaker 1: go down all of those different segues. But I appreciate

1711
01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 1: you going along for the Vagabond journey.

1712
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:35,679
Speaker 6: Nonetheless, absolutely I enjoyed it.

1713
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: Kyle nett Rip joining us Indy Star appreciated Kyle, will

1714
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:41,799
Speaker 1: look forward to the story on again Warren and Lawrence

1715
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 1: North and featuring a junior that is a top ten

1716
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:48,040
Speaker 1: player now in the country. Will take a quick recess.

1717
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:50,680
Speaker 1: Kevin Bowen, you heard us mention a cathedral. He a

1718
01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:52,519
Speaker 1: proud member of that school. He's going to join us

1719
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 1: coming up about fifteen minutes from now. So, Eddie, you

1720
01:27:57,080 --> 01:28:00,000
Speaker 1: are familiar with the wide receiver from Lawrence North right

1721
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 1: o mon Shun Sales.

1722
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:01,479
Speaker 6: Yes.

1723
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 2: I watched him in a game last year as a sophomore,

1724
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 2: and I think he had like three catches one hundred

1725
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:07,600
Speaker 2: and you know, seventy yards and three touchdowns. It was

1726
01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:10,479
Speaker 2: just like watching Randy Moss, like taller than everyone on

1727
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 2: the field, faster and everyone on the field. That quarterback

1728
01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 2: would just drop back on those three passes and we're like,

1729
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 2: all right, you want to go route everyone else. Receiver wise,

1730
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 2: you're on the right side, he's on his own on

1731
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 2: the left side, he's gonna run to go right. I'm

1732
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 2: gonna toss up to him. He's going to jump up,

1733
01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:26,240
Speaker 2: catch it and then go into the chores.

1734
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:26,360
Speaker 7: Hell.

1735
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 2: He did three dimes.

1736
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:30,120
Speaker 1: It reminds me of when I was working at Channel six.

1737
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 1: Joe Roticap, whose son Nick right now Joe Rodicap and

1738
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:39,080
Speaker 1: Gray Strahan married and their son, Nicholas Rodaicap is down

1739
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,680
Speaker 1: at IU is going to be a really good sportscaster.

1740
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:45,720
Speaker 1: But Joe Roadecap was also a videographer. And one day

1741
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:51,519
Speaker 1: I was working and we would send as a sports

1742
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 1: staff or as a station, we would send photographers to

1743
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,800
Speaker 1: like Ball State, Indiana State, you know, to Paul whatever,

1744
01:28:56,920 --> 01:28:59,160
Speaker 1: just to get a couple of highlights. And I remember

1745
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 1: road Acap had a Ball State game and I'm like,

1746
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 1: what I'm putting together the six o'clock newscast on a Saturday,

1747
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 1: a sportscast, and I'm like, where is Roadicap, Like, I've

1748
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:08,880
Speaker 1: got to I gotta cut these highlights. I mean that

1749
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 1: the game was at noon, and he's still not back yet.

1750
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 1: It's you know, four o'clock whatever. Usually you go up

1751
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:16,840
Speaker 1: there and get a couple lights and you come back

1752
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:20,799
Speaker 1: and road Acap comes back and sets these two tapes

1753
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:23,479
Speaker 1: on my desk and he goes, look, man, this dude

1754
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:26,439
Speaker 1: from Marshall had like six touchdowns. I wasn't gonna leave

1755
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:28,519
Speaker 1: the game because it was the most unbelievable performance I've

1756
01:29:28,520 --> 01:29:31,080
Speaker 1: ever seen, and I don't remember it was Randy Moss.

1757
01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:34,360
Speaker 1: And if you look up Randy Moss's stats against Ball

1758
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 1: State in Muncie, I mean it was in I We

1759
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:41,280
Speaker 1: knew of Randy Moss because he had been obviously at

1760
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 1: Florida State and Notre Dame, and there was a lot

1761
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:48,320
Speaker 1: of controversy about him. But I mean, it took two

1762
01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 1: seconds when you put the tape in, You're like, oh

1763
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 1: my gosh. The natural athleticism, all of it, right, runs

1764
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:58,599
Speaker 1: like a deer, I mean, and you were saying, that's

1765
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:03,240
Speaker 1: I realize it's ridiculous to compare anybody to arguably the

1766
01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:06,840
Speaker 1: greatest wide receiver of all time, but just in terms

1767
01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:12,840
Speaker 1: of natural abilities and body type similar, right.

1768
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:14,920
Speaker 2: It's literally that's what he reminded me of, just because

1769
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:18,920
Speaker 2: he was bigger than everybody, faster than everybody. It's just unfair.

1770
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:24,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes life is just unfair. All right, we come back,

1771
01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:26,040
Speaker 1: Kevin Bow. We're gonna join us here him of course

1772
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 1: on the Morning Show with James Boyd as well as

1773
01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:31,479
Speaker 1: Jeff Rickard the Fan Morning Show, and a lot to

1774
01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:34,519
Speaker 1: get to with the Colts because we now know some

1775
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 1: of the players that are out and what impact will

1776
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:39,640
Speaker 1: that mean and who are they? We'll discuss that with

1777
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:45,280
Speaker 1: Kevin next two o'clock on a Friday in Indianapolis. For

1778
01:30:45,320 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 1: that matter, it's two o'clock on a Friday everywhere in

1779
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:49,559
Speaker 1: the Eastern time zone. My name is Jake Query. Eddie

01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:52,000
Speaker 1: Garrison the other voice you hear on this program today.

01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:54,799
Speaker 1: The name of the show is Querry and Company, of course,

1782
01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 1: and last night, Eddie, I don't know if we have

1783
01:30:57,320 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 1: somebody in the IT field, but I made a high

1784
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 1: lab night IT member of the company. Oh, Eddie is

1785
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:05,719
Speaker 1: the president of the company. I forget what my exact

1786
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:06,519
Speaker 1: title is.

1787
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:08,120
Speaker 2: On the chairman of the board.

1788
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:11,000
Speaker 1: And that board does include Kevin Bowen, who is a

1789
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:15,320
Speaker 1: board member and a recurring guest on the program. Joins

Speaker 1: us now. He brings the professionalism to the company. Kevin,

1791
01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:20,719
Speaker 1: you here in the morning with James Boyd and jeff

1792
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:23,959
Speaker 1: Rickord and the Fan Morning Show, and he is essentially

1793
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 1: the primary colts beat writer for the station. All of

1794
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 1: his work you can see at one oh seven five

1795
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:32,599
Speaker 1: the fan dot com. Kevin, Let's begin with this, and

1796
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:36,080
Speaker 1: that is we found out just about a little over

1797
01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:38,479
Speaker 1: an hour ago some of those that are out for

1798
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 1: this game against the Raiders and nothing, I guess overly shocking,

1799
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:45,879
Speaker 1: but at the same time going to be a challenge.

1800
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:47,599
Speaker 1: Let us know who is not going to be suiting

1801
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:48,920
Speaker 1: up for Indianapolis.

1802
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:51,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would say the one shocking night on miss

1803
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:56,000
Speaker 7: Alex Pierce, you know as we sat here, Yeah, I

1804
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:58,080
Speaker 7: guess that was even this morning. And you know, Pierce

1805
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:00,640
Speaker 7: had two full days of work. So anytime you're in

1806
01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:03,000
Speaker 7: concussion protocol, you have two full days of work, that's

1807
01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 7: usually pretty good for you.

1808
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:06,560
Speaker 1: Wasn't feeling good this morning.

1809
01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:09,240
Speaker 7: Though, and so he is out set back in the

1810
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:12,919
Speaker 7: concussion protocol did not pass. So that's not good obviously

1811
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 7: for Sunday. It's also not good for you know, Pierce

1812
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:18,000
Speaker 7: sur pribably state in the obvious that you know, we're

1813
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:20,880
Speaker 7: talking about a guy that unfortunately has had I think

1814
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,320
Speaker 7: it's now three concussions. Is the first one reason this

1815
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:29,679
Speaker 7: multiple weeks. So he is out. No Kennymore, No Tyler Goodson,

1816
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:34,200
Speaker 7: no Daniel Scott, those are the four so backup running, back,

1817
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:37,559
Speaker 7: backup safety and then again Pierson Moore both out for

1818
01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:38,559
Speaker 7: a second straight weeks.

1819
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:43,840
Speaker 1: The more situation, I mean, obviously we knew going in

1820
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:46,240
Speaker 1: Kevin that was going to be unlikely. You know, Kenny

1821
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:48,960
Speaker 1: Moore would play. But when you look at you know,

1822
01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:54,400
Speaker 1: xavieron Howard and that situation and what happens with them

1823
01:32:54,439 --> 01:32:57,679
Speaker 1: at defensive backfield. Let's begin there, because we talked about

1824
01:32:57,720 --> 01:32:59,720
Speaker 1: it in the middle of the week that you were

1825
01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 1: maybe going to have some moving around or just have

1826
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:04,600
Speaker 1: to go into your depth in terms of what you

1827
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:08,160
Speaker 1: were going to do. What is the lineup going to

1828
01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 1: look like for the Colts in terms of their defensive

1829
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:13,680
Speaker 1: backfield against Geno Smith, who has thrown you know, I

1830
01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:16,639
Speaker 1: think six interceptions already this year, but against that Raiders offense.

1831
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:19,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I'd assume they'll call Mike Hilton up from

1832
01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:22,160
Speaker 7: the practice squaud for second straight week, so he'll be

1833
01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:24,800
Speaker 7: in the Kenny Moore role. The question will be than

1834
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 7: what do they do opposite Mooney Ward. I would assume

1835
01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:31,800
Speaker 7: that it's Makai Blackman, who was the one that did

1836
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,960
Speaker 7: fall down on the Tu Tuo at Well interception. They

1837
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:38,400
Speaker 7: could go with Johnson Edwards undrafted free agent, So you know,

1838
01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:42,080
Speaker 7: that's a little bit of a decision that they're going

1839
01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:45,479
Speaker 7: to have to make. But obviously, you know Xavi and Howard,

1840
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:48,120
Speaker 7: I think his role would have been scaled back anyways.

1841
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:52,439
Speaker 7: Had he not retired midweek. But now with that, I'd

1842
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:55,840
Speaker 7: assume black men and then you know, kind of wait

1843
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:58,759
Speaker 7: and see. I think Jalen Jones is the best option

1844
01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:01,600
Speaker 7: on the roster, but he unfortunately is dealt with the

1845
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:04,200
Speaker 7: hamstring issue now a couple different times this year, and

1846
01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:06,000
Speaker 7: he's probably not going to be back. He's stilling in

1847
01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:09,360
Speaker 7: your reserve. He can't play this week, I don't know

1848
01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:12,400
Speaker 7: the year, probably can out a couple of weeks before

1849
01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:15,639
Speaker 7: his return. So yeah, my best guess is Sunday would

1850
01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:19,479
Speaker 7: be kind of the three man corner group Mooney Ward,

1851
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:22,519
Speaker 7: Mike Kilden for sure, and then a little bit of

1852
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:24,400
Speaker 7: a debate there and what you do the third corner.

1853
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:25,559
Speaker 6: But I'd say, makaile blackman.

1854
01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:29,479
Speaker 1: You know, I thought, and you correct me if you are,

1855
01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, tell me if you disagree. I thought Hilton

1856
01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:34,439
Speaker 1: for a guy that was a late edition and you know,

1857
01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:38,040
Speaker 1: obviously as somebody that knows lou Anarumo and that defense

1858
01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:42,080
Speaker 1: coming from Cincinnati, But you know, did he jump off

1859
01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:45,599
Speaker 1: the page at meet? No, But considering what was asked

1860
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:48,280
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, I thought he was sufficient. I thought

1861
01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:50,840
Speaker 1: he was fine, to be honest with you. Now, does

1862
01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:53,200
Speaker 1: that mean he can do an elevated role or more reps.

1863
01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. But overall, how would you analyze what

1864
01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:59,000
Speaker 1: we've seen so far? Yeah, that's probably a.

1865
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:00,680
Speaker 7: Good way to describe it. I mean, he obviously had

1866
01:35:00,680 --> 01:35:03,960
Speaker 7: the huge play on the blitz the force fumble there.

1867
01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:06,760
Speaker 1: I know, I thought, Kevin, I'll be honest, and I

1868
01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:09,479
Speaker 1: know that he got in there and but it almost

1869
01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:12,000
Speaker 1: looked to me like the and yes, Hilton had to

1870
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:14,679
Speaker 1: be there for this to happen, But as I watched

1871
01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:16,640
Speaker 1: it a second time, I thought, did he actually make

1872
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 1: contact or was the back spinning and it was the

1873
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:21,320
Speaker 1: inertia of his spin that caused him to lose the ball.

1874
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:25,479
Speaker 1: Either way, though, Yeah, he was there, right, I mean,

1875
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:25,800
Speaker 1: he was.

1876
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 7: There right right. Uh you know, you know as far

1877
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:29,439
Speaker 7: as him in coverage, I don't think we saw it

1878
01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:31,240
Speaker 7: like a ton of reps. So you know, a little

1879
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:33,040
Speaker 7: bit wait and see. Now it's different with him and

1880
01:35:33,120 --> 01:35:35,720
Speaker 7: Xavier Howard. He actually played football last year, so you know,

1881
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:37,479
Speaker 7: maybe I don't have as much of a wait, like

1882
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:38,719
Speaker 7: what's what's in the tank.

1883
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:39,200
Speaker 6: For this dude?

1884
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:41,559
Speaker 7: And you know, for me, the biggest issue with Howard

1885
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:44,160
Speaker 7: wasn't that you gave him the tryst that the minute

1886
01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:45,679
Speaker 7: he walked in the door, he handed him the keys

1887
01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:46,519
Speaker 7: to the starting lineup.

1888
01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:47,840
Speaker 1: It's like, don't you.

1889
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:49,479
Speaker 7: Want to see where this dude at. I mean, he

1890
01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:53,560
Speaker 7: didn't play football last year. So yeah, I again, I

1891
01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:56,680
Speaker 7: think Hilton was fine. But you know, Kenny Moore the

1892
01:35:56,680 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 7: second and now that you're saying this, Jake, but I

1893
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:03,200
Speaker 7: just think people appreciate him still. And you know, I

1894
01:36:03,200 --> 01:36:05,439
Speaker 7: think I told you guys last week entering last week's game,

1895
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:07,879
Speaker 7: in the games at Kenny's missed in the last few years,

1896
01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:10,800
Speaker 7: Colt have been given up thirty three points per game

1897
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:12,840
Speaker 7: with him out of the line. I've been not last

1898
01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:15,280
Speaker 7: he goes twenty seven. But I just think even when

1899
01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:17,960
Speaker 7: he's not making plays like picking off cam Ward and

1900
01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:19,600
Speaker 7: taking it back for a touchdown, I think there's so

1901
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:21,960
Speaker 7: many plays where he's just in the right spot and

1902
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:23,840
Speaker 7: you just kind of take that for granted over the

1903
01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:24,920
Speaker 7: course of sixty minutes.

1904
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:29,840
Speaker 1: You know, Kevin Bowen is our guest, Kevin the defensively

1905
01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:34,400
Speaker 1: speaking against the Raiders, one of the things that is

1906
01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 1: obviously going to be and I think there's a blueprint here.

1907
01:36:38,200 --> 01:36:41,120
Speaker 1: Brock Bauers is an important and the Raiders are starting

1908
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 1: to run the football more, I mean Genty's you know,

1909
01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:45,479
Speaker 1: they're starting to find ways to kind of get him going.

1910
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 1: But so much of the Raiders offense I think is

1911
01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:52,120
Speaker 1: centered around brock Bauers, even if they're not getting him

1912
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:56,200
Speaker 1: the ball rather just using him as a decoy. Is

1913
01:36:56,200 --> 01:36:58,800
Speaker 1: is good enough in terms of what he can bring

1914
01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:01,280
Speaker 1: to the table, but he also is dinged up, right?

1915
01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:03,639
Speaker 1: How much does that change? Do you think what Ana

1916
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 1: Rumo tries to schematically come up with for the Raiders?

1917
01:37:09,120 --> 01:37:11,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think a good point. And honestly, I don't

1918
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:13,720
Speaker 7: know if it'll happen during your show, but certainly during

1919
01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:16,799
Speaker 7: John's show he might have some news on the Raiders

1920
01:37:16,800 --> 01:37:19,080
Speaker 7: injury report. So Bowers, like you said, has deal with

1921
01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:23,160
Speaker 7: the knee injury really all year long. He was limited Wednesday,

1922
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:28,120
Speaker 7: didn't practice yesterday, So you know, is that midweek maintenance

1923
01:37:28,200 --> 01:37:30,320
Speaker 7: for a guy that's clearly dealing with something? Is it

1924
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:32,000
Speaker 7: more than that that would be something to keep an

1925
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:35,160
Speaker 7: eye on and Ma's crosby their stud defensive end.

1926
01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:37,240
Speaker 1: It didn't practice either.

1927
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:39,640
Speaker 7: And you know, he's probably own the right to have

1928
01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:41,760
Speaker 7: his veteran rest day, but that's not something he does

1929
01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:43,840
Speaker 7: it's the first time he's actually an age report all year.

1930
01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 7: So you know, we'd obviously have some news items here

1931
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:50,360
Speaker 7: from a you know, injury standpoint on a Friday, but

1932
01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 7: you know they definitely have a couple out there. So yeah,

1933
01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:55,679
Speaker 7: I mean Bowers is huge, especially with you know, Geno

1934
01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:59,160
Speaker 7: Smith needs to get going and you would think, you know,

1935
01:37:59,479 --> 01:38:01,880
Speaker 7: some simple rose to an elite tight end would help

1936
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 7: you kind of get back into that rhythm there. So

1937
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:06,640
Speaker 7: that's a huge storyline here as we sit here on

1938
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:07,160
Speaker 7: this Friday.

1939
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:11,880
Speaker 1: You know, Geno Smith is and I like Geno Smith,

1940
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:15,799
Speaker 1: and he's had moments where you know, he has certainly

1941
01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:17,679
Speaker 1: been to use the Mike Hilton word that I used,

1942
01:38:17,680 --> 01:38:20,200
Speaker 1: a sufficient quarterback. I don't know that Geno Smith anybody

1943
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:22,840
Speaker 1: looks at him and goes, this guy is you know,

1944
01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:26,200
Speaker 1: but he's been a good player, and now that he

1945
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:28,040
Speaker 1: is with the Raiders, there was part of me, Kevin

1946
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:31,120
Speaker 1: that thought to myself, well, you know, you're kind of

1947
01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:33,599
Speaker 1: starting from scratch there, and then I'll be honest with you,

1948
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:36,080
Speaker 1: you forget it was Pete Carroll that was the one

1949
01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:38,800
Speaker 1: that kind of reawakened him anyway to begin with, right,

1950
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 1: So one would assume that the pieces are in place

1951
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:45,080
Speaker 1: there for this to kind of get going, and maybe

1952
01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:47,800
Speaker 1: they simply need the running game to get that going

1953
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:50,000
Speaker 1: for him. I know that we're not weekly covering the Raiders,

1954
01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 1: but for this week it is of note. But Genty

1955
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:55,720
Speaker 1: is a guy that in the beginning of the year

1956
01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:57,519
Speaker 1: we didn't see a lot from and now all of

1957
01:38:57,560 --> 01:38:59,960
Speaker 1: a sudden it's kind of uncorked. How big a ballot

1958
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:02,559
Speaker 1: n challenge do you think it's going to be for

1959
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:03,479
Speaker 1: the Colts defense?

1960
01:39:04,360 --> 01:39:06,519
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's a good point. And I've kind

1961
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:08,759
Speaker 7: of forgotten this, Jake. I didn't realize Shane Stiken actually

1962
01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 7: had a year with Geno Smith, you know, the old

1963
01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:14,400
Speaker 7: NFL cycle. I guess everybody's with everybody at some point.

1964
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:18,759
Speaker 7: But Shane spoke super highly of him earlier this week,

1965
01:39:18,920 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 7: so you know, as far as the Raiders are concerned, Yeah,

1966
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 7: Gens finally got going last week. I think they've kind

1967
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:28,240
Speaker 7: of been waiting for him to, you know, really really

1968
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:31,400
Speaker 7: get going. Ripped off a big one, and you know,

1969
01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:33,360
Speaker 7: if you look at this game on Sunday, for me,

1970
01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:36,759
Speaker 7: so much of it is about getting the lead early,

1971
01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:40,280
Speaker 7: which I know is captain obvious, but think about their personnel.

1972
01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:43,360
Speaker 7: You know, when you think about Gen t it's he's

1973
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:46,160
Speaker 7: done a great jalbum breaking tapped so far in his

1974
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:50,240
Speaker 7: NFL career, and they're they are without their best offensive lineman,

1975
01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:53,000
Speaker 7: Colton Miller at left tackle. So if you can get

1976
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:56,120
Speaker 7: a lead early, that limits how much tackling you got

1977
01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:58,240
Speaker 7: to do on gens in the third and fourth quarter,

1978
01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:01,120
Speaker 7: where we've obviously seen right here Jonn Taylor rip off

1979
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:03,640
Speaker 7: huge runs and then of course if you're in more

1980
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:07,559
Speaker 7: obvious passing situations, that's a backup left tackle having to

1981
01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:09,320
Speaker 7: hold up. And last he lost it was really good

1982
01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:12,360
Speaker 7: last week. So you know, for me, you know this

1983
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:13,960
Speaker 7: is the Gus Bradley era. I think we'd be a

1984
01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:15,960
Speaker 7: little nervous. So, boy, is you going to get into

1985
01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:19,040
Speaker 7: a rhythm here with some simple completions early in games?

1986
01:40:19,520 --> 01:40:20,880
Speaker 7: And then are they going to kind of stay in

1987
01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:22,640
Speaker 7: it on the scoreboard. But if you can jump on

1988
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:25,320
Speaker 7: them early, then I think you start to question that

1989
01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:27,920
Speaker 7: Gino's lack of confidence all of that, because Pete Carroll's

1990
01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:30,680
Speaker 7: already feeling in questions about, hey, are you looking at

1991
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 7: Kenny Pickett, which you know might sound crazy to some people,

1992
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:36,240
Speaker 7: but that's how much Gino has struggled this season, Eddie.

1993
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:38,479
Speaker 1: You know what we say about Kenny Pickett right Wait,

1994
01:40:38,880 --> 01:40:43,200
Speaker 1: he's got his little hands out there. Yes, that's Kenny Pigott. Kevin,

1995
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:44,559
Speaker 1: I think I was doing the morning show with you

1996
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:47,600
Speaker 1: when he was going through the draft cycle. And I

1997
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 1: don't know why it is. Maybe it's just some weird

1998
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:52,040
Speaker 1: seventh grade guy mentality of mine, but I would not

1999
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 1: want the entire world to know that I have tiny hands.

2000
01:40:56,080 --> 01:40:58,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm shocked to fifty three year old is still

2001
01:40:58,720 --> 01:40:59,559
Speaker 7: using that bit.

2002
01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:04,360
Speaker 1: What it was. I mean, it was fifty year old

2003
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:06,040
Speaker 1: you were dealing with. I mean, did you really think

2004
01:41:06,080 --> 01:41:07,800
Speaker 1: things were going to change in three years?

2005
01:41:08,560 --> 01:41:10,400
Speaker 7: I don't know. I thought after that big birthday party,

2006
01:41:10,520 --> 01:41:13,679
Speaker 7: you know, somehow, some way he was showing out some maturity.

2007
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:14,799
Speaker 7: But good to see you, Heavan.

2008
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 1: Thank you. By the way, Chargers is where Shane stiken

2009
01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:21,400
Speaker 1: had Gino Smith right when he was his second stint

2010
01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:23,960
Speaker 1: with the Chargers. Shane Stikeen was a quarterbacks coach when

2011
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:26,439
Speaker 1: Gino Smith was there for a cup of coffee. In

2012
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:30,040
Speaker 1: case anybody was curious on that, Kevin Bow and our guest, Kevin,

2013
01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:35,639
Speaker 1: curious of this from your standpoint, give me the area

2014
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:39,839
Speaker 1: of the Colts so far that you still aren't sold,

2015
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:41,920
Speaker 1: either in a good or bad way. In other words,

2016
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:44,400
Speaker 1: maybe an area where they've struggled, where you're saying, yeah,

2017
01:41:44,439 --> 01:41:46,439
Speaker 1: but that's kind of concern to me that that simply

2018
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 1: was matchup stuff, or an area where they've looked really

2019
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:52,760
Speaker 1: good where you're still not fully ready to make the

2020
01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:53,360
Speaker 1: down payment.

2021
01:41:56,960 --> 01:41:58,800
Speaker 7: You know, the pass rush last week I thought was

2022
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:01,639
Speaker 7: really good. And that's against the guy I guess.

2023
01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:02,000
Speaker 3: Of a lot quick.

2024
01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:04,600
Speaker 7: I know Stafford doesn't move a whole lot, but you know,

2025
01:42:04,800 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 7: is that sustainable?

2026
01:42:06,560 --> 01:42:06,800
Speaker 1: Again?

2027
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:09,160
Speaker 7: Last two was really good last week? You know, is

2028
01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:12,400
Speaker 7: that going to be the case continually moving forward? I

2029
01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:15,479
Speaker 7: think I'd probably go there. You know, Daniel Jones has

2030
01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:18,880
Speaker 7: been outstanding. I mean, hell, you know, if you could

2031
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:21,800
Speaker 7: imagine the first four weeks of the season looking like

2032
01:42:21,840 --> 01:42:23,960
Speaker 7: this and told me that in August, I always said

2033
01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:27,600
Speaker 7: no chance. You know, as more film I guess is

2034
01:42:27,600 --> 01:42:30,840
Speaker 7: on Daniel Jones in a Colts uniform. Is that still

2035
01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 7: the case?

2036
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:32,559
Speaker 1: You know?

2037
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:35,920
Speaker 7: And just in general, I think, and I'd say this

2038
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:38,519
Speaker 7: for any NFL year. You know, it's just like, all right,

2039
01:42:39,680 --> 01:42:41,840
Speaker 7: there's the same team. It's the same team there. When

2040
01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:44,280
Speaker 7: Halloween rules around, it's the same team there. And Thanksgiving

2041
01:42:44,360 --> 01:42:46,519
Speaker 7: rules around, there's the same team there at the New Year,

2042
01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:49,080
Speaker 7: you know, I mean NFL seasons are long. Well, I mean,

2043
01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:51,280
Speaker 7: you know, if you would have said, hey, the Colts

2044
01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:53,320
Speaker 7: are going to win the super Bowl in two thousand

2045
01:42:53,360 --> 01:42:56,200
Speaker 7: and six the Monday after the Jacksonville game, you know,

2046
01:42:56,240 --> 01:42:58,439
Speaker 7: people would have called you an idiot based off where

2047
01:42:58,439 --> 01:43:01,479
Speaker 7: that run defense was, and then all this Rob Morris this,

2048
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:04,599
Speaker 7: and you know, Bob Sanders that, and they're shutting down

2049
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:07,479
Speaker 7: Larry Johnson and the rest is history on that playoff run.

2050
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:09,720
Speaker 7: So I just think the grind of the season, you know,

2051
01:43:09,760 --> 01:43:13,679
Speaker 7: things kind of naturally arise, and but yeah, those would

2052
01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:15,280
Speaker 7: be a couple of items. And then you know, maybe

2053
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:18,599
Speaker 7: corner depths. You know, again, just because Xamer Howard's gone

2054
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 7: doesn't mean that that cures all. It just means you're

2055
01:43:21,360 --> 01:43:24,760
Speaker 7: trying different people in that spot there. So that would

2056
01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:25,639
Speaker 7: be another, you.

2057
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:28,040
Speaker 1: Know, one of the things. Kevin, let me bring something

2058
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 1: up that I found interesting. I think it was earlier

2059
01:43:31,240 --> 01:43:33,559
Speaker 1: this week. Maybe it was last year, but I think

2060
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:35,720
Speaker 1: it was earlier this week. I know it was a

2061
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:37,800
Speaker 1: week go today. Sorry, I had on Jeff George, and

2062
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:40,720
Speaker 1: the reason I did is because Jeff George is a

2063
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:43,080
Speaker 1: guy that, you know, never really got his footing in

2064
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 1: stop number one. It was here for the Colts, and

2065
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:49,200
Speaker 1: then when he went to Atlanta, you know, instantly, seemingly,

2066
01:43:49,240 --> 01:43:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's strown for four thousand yards and everything

2067
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 1: just kind of came together. So I wanted to know

2068
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:56,519
Speaker 1: what the difference was from stop one to stop two.

2069
01:43:57,160 --> 01:43:59,679
Speaker 1: And one of the things that he pointed out was, look,

2070
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:03,000
Speaker 1: it was really hard as a young quarterback to go

2071
01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:07,120
Speaker 1: into a situation on a veteran team knowing that guys

2072
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:09,719
Speaker 1: are looking at me and I'm supposed to be a leader.

2073
01:44:09,760 --> 01:44:11,800
Speaker 1: But yet, how am I supposed to tell a thirty

2074
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:13,680
Speaker 1: one year old guy, as a twenty one year old

2075
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:15,519
Speaker 1: kid that this is what I want him to do

2076
01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:17,439
Speaker 1: and this is how I'm going to lead that guy.

2077
01:44:18,360 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 1: And it seems to me like Daniel Jones is one

2078
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:26,479
Speaker 1: coming here that just the experience and what he went

2079
01:44:26,479 --> 01:44:28,439
Speaker 1: through in New York, he doesn't strike me as an

2080
01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:31,880
Speaker 1: overly vociferous guy to his teammates, but just by the

2081
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:34,840
Speaker 1: example of coming in and having to earn it that

2082
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 1: over the course of time, that has developed a trust

2083
01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 1: amongst his teammates, and now there is a respect there

2084
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:44,919
Speaker 1: that allows him to naturally be a leader. You're closer

2085
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:48,040
Speaker 1: inside the locker room than I. Is that a fair observation.

2086
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:53,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, I think you're onto something, and I think

2087
01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:55,680
Speaker 7: there's a level of respect and just watching how he

2088
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:58,560
Speaker 7: works from guys within the locker room. And then I

2089
01:44:58,560 --> 01:45:00,400
Speaker 7: don't know, if you guys played the clips we played

2090
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:02,920
Speaker 7: on our show, I might be caught the Saquon Barkley

2091
01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:05,240
Speaker 7: audio from a couple of weeks back, just like how

2092
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:08,680
Speaker 7: happy he's been watching Daniel Jones. I mean, imagine that,

2093
01:45:08,840 --> 01:45:10,840
Speaker 7: like you don't know Daniel Jones at all, and all

2094
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:12,840
Speaker 7: of a sudden you see Saquon Barkley, one of the

2095
01:45:12,840 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 7: best players in the NFL, start gushing about him, Like

2096
01:45:16,680 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 7: to me, that would be like damn. I mean, things

2097
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:21,439
Speaker 7: went really bad in New York and this guy, I mean,

2098
01:45:21,439 --> 01:45:23,479
Speaker 7: he's like he's talking about him like he's his son.

2099
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:27,559
Speaker 7: So you know, I think you don't hear you know

2100
01:45:28,160 --> 01:45:30,879
Speaker 7: New York, he wasn't the problem, I guess.

2101
01:45:30,720 --> 01:45:32,240
Speaker 1: Is the easiest way to be Well, we're starting to

2102
01:45:32,240 --> 01:45:33,800
Speaker 1: find that out more right, you know what I mean?

2103
01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:37,879
Speaker 7: Sure with the Giants, but like again, hearing those comments

2104
01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:39,519
Speaker 7: is not just you know, kind of throw away line

2105
01:45:39,560 --> 01:45:40,960
Speaker 7: take on Barkley, He's like, no, let me go out

2106
01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 7: of my way and gush about this dude for whatever

2107
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:47,840
Speaker 7: two minutes. So I think all of that probably is

2108
01:45:47,960 --> 01:45:48,840
Speaker 7: at play here too.

2109
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:51,840
Speaker 1: And then along those lines, Eddie and I were talking

2110
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:55,960
Speaker 1: about this earlier, and that's the story and kind of

2111
01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 1: the saga of Ady Mitchell and I've gone back in

2112
01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:03,840
Speaker 1: fourth on this. Kevin. Eddie asked me this question, if

2113
01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:07,439
Speaker 1: you were Shane Steikin or you were Chris Ballard, how

2114
01:46:07,439 --> 01:46:11,719
Speaker 1: do you handle the ad Mitchell situation? So with that question,

2115
01:46:11,800 --> 01:46:13,640
Speaker 1: I'll put that to you. How would you handle it

2116
01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:14,599
Speaker 1: if you're Shane Steikin.

2117
01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:22,200
Speaker 7: Well, I think the Alex Pearson injury changed everything. You know,

2118
01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:26,880
Speaker 7: I'm under the impression that it was heading towards an

2119
01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:29,120
Speaker 7: active week for him and then all of a sudden

2120
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:34,240
Speaker 7: with Pierce. You can't really do that just given the

2121
01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:38,479
Speaker 7: availability of your white out. So I expect Mitchell to

2122
01:46:38,640 --> 01:46:41,320
Speaker 7: dress now. I'm not sitting here acting like he's going

2123
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:46,160
Speaker 7: to play a lot, you know. I think the old

2124
01:46:46,160 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 7: T word who do you trust? And I think for

2125
01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:51,360
Speaker 7: a week. There's gonna be a little bit of a

2126
01:46:51,439 --> 01:46:53,519
Speaker 7: punishment for that. Again, maybe not to the extreme that

2127
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:56,840
Speaker 7: they could have given Pierce the situation, but I would

2128
01:46:56,880 --> 01:46:59,720
Speaker 7: think Ashton Dolan will honestly take on more of that

2129
01:46:59,840 --> 01:47:03,599
Speaker 7: rule and then Mitchell. So that's how you know when

2130
01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:06,160
Speaker 7: you hear Shane Stiken talk about Adie Mitchell this week,

2131
01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 7: even today in the press conference, you'll ask them, given

2132
01:47:10,240 --> 01:47:12,880
Speaker 7: the Pierce situation, like worry out with Adi Mitchell, We're

2133
01:47:12,920 --> 01:47:16,280
Speaker 7: working through that like still, I mean and again and

2134
01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:20,800
Speaker 7: Shane Sike and Lingo that I think is, you know,

2135
01:47:21,200 --> 01:47:26,439
Speaker 7: pretty evident that he clearly is super displeased with what

2136
01:47:26,479 --> 01:47:29,800
Speaker 7: happened on Sunday and felt like some accountability needed to

2137
01:47:29,840 --> 01:47:33,559
Speaker 7: be there. So again, I think the plan has probably

2138
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:36,320
Speaker 7: changed a little bit just given Pierce the situation and

2139
01:47:36,360 --> 01:47:38,680
Speaker 7: the other injuries. I should add they're not in a

2140
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:41,479
Speaker 7: spot right now. You know, they ruled out four guys today.

2141
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:45,519
Speaker 7: That's easily the biggest number they've ruled out all season long.

2142
01:47:46,240 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 7: They need Mike Hilton to be called up from the

2143
01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:51,559
Speaker 7: practice squad to replace Kenny Moore, and then with though

2144
01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:53,960
Speaker 7: Tyler Goodson, they need to add another running back. I

2145
01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:57,519
Speaker 7: would assume that's a mere Abdullah the former. I think

2146
01:47:57,520 --> 01:47:59,400
Speaker 7: he's a second round pick back in the day. So

2147
01:47:59,560 --> 01:48:02,800
Speaker 7: right there, those are your two practice squad call ups

2148
01:48:02,880 --> 01:48:06,439
Speaker 7: for this week. So you can't really unless I'm missing something.

2149
01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:08,320
Speaker 7: I mean, they can make a office spot, but I

2150
01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:10,760
Speaker 7: don't see them adding a white out, I guess is

2151
01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:13,840
Speaker 7: what I'm getting at here. So again, I think plans

2152
01:48:13,840 --> 01:48:18,000
Speaker 7: have changed for how they wanted to maybe punish ad Mitchell.

2153
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:21,000
Speaker 1: By the way, and I could be wrong here, but

2154
01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:23,600
Speaker 1: on the when you're oh, you know what, maybe I

2155
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:25,880
Speaker 1: completely missed this. Is he on the active or did

2156
01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:29,439
Speaker 1: I miss the the transaction of it? Because I think

2157
01:48:29,439 --> 01:48:32,559
Speaker 1: he played earlier this year. If I'm not mistaken, your

2158
01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:35,240
Speaker 1: lissen is Bentley the fourth he is? Is he no

2159
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:36,439
Speaker 1: longer on the practice squad?

2160
01:48:37,920 --> 01:48:38,280
Speaker 8: He is?

2161
01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:39,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean they could go there, and yeah, you

2162
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:42,639
Speaker 7: are correct, he did play week one of it right

2163
01:48:43,320 --> 01:48:46,040
Speaker 7: when Goodson was originally out. So yes, they could go

2164
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:48,240
Speaker 7: with Bentley, they could go with Abdullah, but I think

2165
01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:51,599
Speaker 7: they're going with Abulah, probably because they heard your impression

2166
01:48:51,640 --> 01:48:53,000
Speaker 7: too much and they didn't hear it again.

2167
01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 2: Par for the course with me, Kevin, why do you

2168
01:48:56,200 --> 01:48:58,599
Speaker 2: feel like a punishment is necessarily for Ady Mitchell because

2169
01:48:58,600 --> 01:49:00,439
Speaker 2: I said, as I said here I think about it,

2170
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:02,000
Speaker 2: was like, look, he's already owned up to it, he's

2171
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:04,479
Speaker 2: apologized in front of the team. I understand there has

2172
01:49:04,520 --> 01:49:06,559
Speaker 2: to be some level of accountability, but at the same time,

2173
01:49:07,120 --> 01:49:09,120
Speaker 2: you want to see Harry responds because this is easily

2174
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:12,439
Speaker 2: the most adversity he's faced as a pro. I'm in

2175
01:49:12,479 --> 01:49:14,120
Speaker 2: the camp of I want to see him still out

2176
01:49:14,120 --> 01:49:15,760
Speaker 2: there in the same early was last week to see

2177
01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:17,960
Speaker 2: if he can respond and if not in the early goings,

2178
01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 2: then you make that move to bencham and then you

2179
01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:22,639
Speaker 2: go to Ashton doing Yeah.

2180
01:49:22,680 --> 01:49:24,960
Speaker 7: I just don't think he's earned that. Frankly, I think

2181
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 7: Jonathan Taylor and ad Mitchell are two very different examples.

2182
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:32,559
Speaker 7: And I can't stress enough that I think Shane Steiken

2183
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:35,000
Speaker 7: emphasize this to the nth degree.

2184
01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:37,760
Speaker 6: And when you have a guy make that.

2185
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:43,839
Speaker 7: Mistake almost immediately after you've emphasized that as a coaching staff,

2186
01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:46,439
Speaker 7: then you got to do something I think a little

2187
01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:49,040
Speaker 7: bit further than what you were doing. So again I

2188
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:51,639
Speaker 7: checked him to dress. But I think the Alex Peir

2189
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:54,280
Speaker 7: situation has just changed it. And even last week in

2190
01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:58,200
Speaker 7: the game. You know, he makes that play and whatever

2191
01:49:58,200 --> 01:50:01,200
Speaker 7: that was early third quarter, the next time he shows

2192
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:03,680
Speaker 7: up in the box scores the holding penalty. It's not

2193
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:05,559
Speaker 7: like he showed up and made a play on the

2194
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:08,760
Speaker 7: next series or he like the next time he made

2195
01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:12,479
Speaker 7: an impact on the game. He made an awful impact

2196
01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:15,960
Speaker 7: on the game. And I think that really really bothered

2197
01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:19,840
Speaker 7: the coaching staffs as well. So again, I think the

2198
01:50:19,880 --> 01:50:22,840
Speaker 7: plan was for probably in a one week situation, but

2199
01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:26,960
Speaker 7: you know, Pierce having this setback this morning has probably

2200
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:30,120
Speaker 7: all changed it from hey, maybe we could have them

2201
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:34,240
Speaker 7: an active to all right, now we need to dress them.

2202
01:50:34,360 --> 01:50:36,439
Speaker 7: But still I think it's going to be a little

2203
01:50:36,479 --> 01:50:37,800
Speaker 7: bit more ash doing in that role.

2204
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:41,320
Speaker 1: You know, I said this earlier, Kevin, give me your

2205
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:45,040
Speaker 1: thoughts on this. If I'm Shane Steike and my answer

2206
01:50:45,040 --> 01:50:48,320
Speaker 1: on it is this, and you critique this or tell

2207
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:51,919
Speaker 1: me just your feel on it. With the Aighty Mitchell situation,

2208
01:50:52,040 --> 01:50:53,640
Speaker 1: if I'm Shane Stike and I look at it and

2209
01:50:53,640 --> 01:50:56,599
Speaker 1: I go, look, this guy had red flags coming out.

2210
01:50:56,640 --> 01:50:59,840
Speaker 1: We knew that we've been waiting for him to get going.

2211
01:51:00,040 --> 01:51:02,439
Speaker 1: He made he did make a great play, even though

2212
01:51:02,479 --> 01:51:04,840
Speaker 1: I think even he was stunned that ball was in

2213
01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:09,560
Speaker 1: his arms. But he made two mistakes, very very costly mistakes.

2214
01:51:09,600 --> 01:51:12,960
Speaker 1: And if I'm a coach, it would peeve me. But

2215
01:51:13,520 --> 01:51:15,680
Speaker 1: if I'm a coach, this is also a test of

2216
01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:20,320
Speaker 1: what I've been preaching, and that is that we create culture.

2217
01:51:20,360 --> 01:51:22,880
Speaker 1: Every franchise says this, Every team says this, We create

2218
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:25,439
Speaker 1: a culture here. We have good guys in that locker room,

2219
01:51:25,439 --> 01:51:28,679
Speaker 1: we have leaders. At some point, you've got to test

2220
01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:31,200
Speaker 1: your leaders, and you've got to say, I'm gonna let

2221
01:51:32,040 --> 01:51:35,360
Speaker 1: the den, I'm gonna let the pack here take care

2222
01:51:35,479 --> 01:51:38,160
Speaker 1: of the errant kitten. I'm gonna let them do it.

2223
01:51:38,280 --> 01:51:40,880
Speaker 1: And that's as a as a coach, I have to

2224
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:44,759
Speaker 1: trust that I've created the right atmosphere where these things

2225
01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:49,439
Speaker 1: can internally take care of themselves on my off base there.

2226
01:51:49,479 --> 01:51:51,000
Speaker 1: And do they have that yet?

2227
01:51:54,320 --> 01:51:58,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a good point. I guess I don't know

2228
01:51:58,560 --> 01:52:02,519
Speaker 7: to the last part. You know, I'm always torn on like, okay,

2229
01:52:02,600 --> 01:52:06,120
Speaker 7: you know, culture, leadership, accountability, you know, all these buzzwords

2230
01:52:06,160 --> 01:52:09,360
Speaker 7: we hear, and then like how do you define that?

2231
01:52:09,600 --> 01:52:11,600
Speaker 7: You know, christ Out has made a huge emphasis of

2232
01:52:12,040 --> 01:52:13,840
Speaker 7: you know, I want a lot of individually like high

2233
01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:16,000
Speaker 7: character guys. I think for the most part, however, you

2234
01:52:16,040 --> 01:52:19,800
Speaker 7: define character, whether it's work ethic, whether it's you know,

2235
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:22,519
Speaker 7: good in the community, Like yeah, I think the Colts

2236
01:52:22,560 --> 01:52:25,160
Speaker 7: probably have a lot of that. But it's like, okay,

2237
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 7: then you know if they have all these guys that

2238
01:52:27,320 --> 01:52:29,800
Speaker 7: are self motivated, and then you know why late in

2239
01:52:29,800 --> 01:52:31,960
Speaker 7: the season, when these bigger games arise in the schedule,

2240
01:52:32,479 --> 01:52:36,280
Speaker 7: do they not deliver to that to that degree? You know,

2241
01:52:36,280 --> 01:52:38,280
Speaker 7: when you think about the word accountability, something I asked

2242
01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:42,240
Speaker 7: Shane on Wednesday was just this, Okay, when does accountability

2243
01:52:42,360 --> 01:52:44,880
Speaker 7: stop at words and when do you feel the need

2244
01:52:44,960 --> 01:52:47,559
Speaker 7: for it to go to action. The words would be

2245
01:52:47,560 --> 01:52:49,439
Speaker 7: Ady Mitchell talking in front of the team on Monday.

2246
01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:52,960
Speaker 7: The action would be Anthony Richardson getting benched. And I

2247
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:56,720
Speaker 7: think that's difficult. Like to Eddie's point, I get that,

2248
01:52:56,840 --> 01:53:00,639
Speaker 7: Like you know, as a coach, the send a message

2249
01:53:00,680 --> 01:53:02,680
Speaker 7: and say hey, we're coming right back to you, Like

2250
01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:04,680
Speaker 7: you know, last time in the Rams game they went

2251
01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:06,800
Speaker 7: right back to kyn Williams after the fumble. But again,

2252
01:53:06,880 --> 01:53:10,200
Speaker 7: Karen Williams has probably earned the right for that. Jonathan

2253
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:12,600
Speaker 7: Taylor has earned the right. Like to me, it's not

2254
01:53:12,640 --> 01:53:16,080
Speaker 7: apples to apples ad Mitchell, what has he done in

2255
01:53:16,120 --> 01:53:18,160
Speaker 7: the NFL for him to all of a sudden go

2256
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:21,479
Speaker 7: right back out there. Last year he wasn't trustworthy either

2257
01:53:21,600 --> 01:53:24,280
Speaker 7: in college to a point, Jake, he had some great

2258
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:28,200
Speaker 7: highs and then a lot of inconsistency. So I think

2259
01:53:28,240 --> 01:53:30,920
Speaker 7: defining accountability and how far you take it as a

2260
01:53:30,920 --> 01:53:34,160
Speaker 7: coach would be a really difficult thing. And this week,

2261
01:53:34,160 --> 01:53:36,439
Speaker 7: could say even more difficult because all of a sudden,

2262
01:53:36,439 --> 01:53:38,560
Speaker 7: you popped up on the final practice day of the

2263
01:53:38,600 --> 01:53:40,559
Speaker 7: week and a receiver you thought was going to play

2264
01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:42,400
Speaker 7: in the game is no longer playing in that game

2265
01:53:42,400 --> 01:53:45,400
Speaker 7: and Alex Pearce. So yeah, I don't think there was

2266
01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:46,160
Speaker 7: an easy answer.

2267
01:53:47,920 --> 01:53:50,360
Speaker 1: When does Max Bowen make his pick? Usually he has

2268
01:53:50,400 --> 01:53:52,360
Speaker 1: done that by the time you come on with us,

2269
01:53:53,120 --> 01:53:54,400
Speaker 1: I know, And this.

2270
01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:57,240
Speaker 7: Week I've been uh yeah, I mean, I guess I've

2271
01:53:57,280 --> 01:53:57,719
Speaker 7: been lazy.

2272
01:53:57,800 --> 01:53:58,439
Speaker 6: I don't know why.

2273
01:53:58,680 --> 01:54:00,400
Speaker 7: All of a sudden, I just got a I just

2274
01:54:00,479 --> 01:54:02,320
Speaker 7: looked at my Raider's helmet and thought, oh my, we

2275
01:54:02,600 --> 01:54:04,880
Speaker 7: still need to do a pick. So beautiful looking helmet.

2276
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:06,519
Speaker 1: I was going to say, you can't blame him if

2277
01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:08,560
Speaker 1: he goes with the Raiders helmet, can you?

2278
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:08,640
Speaker 3: No?

2279
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:10,679
Speaker 7: And I was surprised he went rams last week.

2280
01:54:10,680 --> 01:54:11,719
Speaker 8: He's won three.

2281
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:13,160
Speaker 3: In a row, so he's hot.

2282
01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:16,000
Speaker 7: And we'll see if he can stretch the five here.

2283
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:17,759
Speaker 7: But that rate, you know, the silver and the black

2284
01:54:17,840 --> 01:54:19,360
Speaker 7: and and the look of it. I don't know if

2285
01:54:19,360 --> 01:54:21,080
Speaker 7: that's intimidating. I don't know if he's going to think

2286
01:54:21,120 --> 01:54:24,640
Speaker 7: it's a little HALLOWEENI and maybe that would, you know,

2287
01:54:24,720 --> 01:54:27,280
Speaker 7: stray him. So the cold tummet's all. I'll be very

2288
01:54:27,280 --> 01:54:28,400
Speaker 7: curious to see what he does here.

2289
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:30,760
Speaker 1: If you had to pick a color design, like if

2290
01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:33,960
Speaker 1: you were the owner of an expansion franchise, I've asked

2291
01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:36,200
Speaker 1: this question to people a lot, But what would your

2292
01:54:36,240 --> 01:54:37,280
Speaker 1: color scheme be? Kevin?

2293
01:54:39,720 --> 01:54:39,880
Speaker 3: Oh?

2294
01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:40,200
Speaker 9: Boy?

2295
01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:42,400
Speaker 7: Am I an NFL team?

2296
01:54:43,320 --> 01:54:45,400
Speaker 1: Boy? That's a good question. Yeah, we'll go NFL. And

2297
01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:48,880
Speaker 1: you're allowed three you know, obviously three colors, like one

2298
01:54:48,960 --> 01:54:51,280
Speaker 1: accentuating color and then two primary colors.

2299
01:54:52,760 --> 01:54:55,520
Speaker 7: Well, my my color palette is. I mean, you know,

2300
01:54:55,560 --> 01:54:57,400
Speaker 7: if you asked me, hey, what makes an orange? What

2301
01:54:57,520 --> 01:55:00,240
Speaker 7: made you know you know what's primary? I mean, I

2302
01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:01,720
Speaker 7: I got a better chance of knowing Mandarin.

2303
01:55:01,760 --> 01:55:04,360
Speaker 1: Well no, no, I'm saying I'm saying I don't mean primary,

2304
01:55:04,440 --> 01:55:06,640
Speaker 1: meaning like you know Roydi. I mean like you have

2305
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:09,520
Speaker 1: to have two main colors of Team Bowen and then

2306
01:55:09,520 --> 01:55:11,160
Speaker 1: you're allowed to have a third one that just you know,

2307
01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:12,880
Speaker 1: like just the complimentary color.

2308
01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:17,000
Speaker 7: Okay, I love I'm gonna give you. I want the

2309
01:55:17,120 --> 01:55:19,880
Speaker 7: Chargers powder blue. I'm gonna steal from other people. I

2310
01:55:19,920 --> 01:55:24,200
Speaker 7: want the Chargers powder blue. I want Tampa Bay's cream sickle,

2311
01:55:24,840 --> 01:55:29,920
Speaker 7: and I want whatever the old Jets green.

2312
01:55:29,880 --> 01:55:30,360
Speaker 3: Used to be.

2313
01:55:31,560 --> 01:55:34,440
Speaker 7: Wow. Three colors that I'm gonna pick.

2314
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:38,040
Speaker 1: That you your team will actually look like someone puked

2315
01:55:38,080 --> 01:55:39,720
Speaker 1: on them. But that's cool though, I mean you know

2316
01:55:39,760 --> 01:55:40,880
Speaker 1: what I mean.

2317
01:55:41,720 --> 01:55:43,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you never know we're gonna be Oregon from

2318
01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:45,560
Speaker 7: ten years ago. You never know what we're gonna wear.

2319
01:55:45,680 --> 01:55:46,960
Speaker 1: That's right, fair enough.

2320
01:55:47,040 --> 01:55:50,560
Speaker 7: I believe this week I think Seahawks Bucks is like

2321
01:55:50,600 --> 01:55:51,880
Speaker 7: one of the best games of the week. I think

2322
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:52,840
Speaker 7: they're both going through.

2323
01:55:54,880 --> 01:55:59,240
Speaker 1: That is I'm telling you right now. I don't even

2324
01:55:59,240 --> 01:56:01,080
Speaker 1: know if I can say this on the air, but

2325
01:56:01,560 --> 01:56:04,400
Speaker 1: that to me, if the Seahawks are going with their

2326
01:56:04,440 --> 01:56:07,640
Speaker 1: late seventies early eighties uniforms with the silver helmets and

2327
01:56:07,720 --> 01:56:10,200
Speaker 1: the Bucks are going with the cream sickles, that is

2328
01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:14,960
Speaker 1: to me visual football orgy that's what that is, your

2329
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:18,000
Speaker 1: sports arousal. Yes, yes, I'm glad.

2330
01:56:18,080 --> 01:56:21,160
Speaker 7: I'm glad John's at Binkley's today because that seed is

2331
01:56:21,240 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 7: not one I want to sit in for a few hours.

2332
01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:27,880
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, Kevin, enjoy the weekend, and we'll

2333
01:56:27,920 --> 01:56:30,040
Speaker 1: be listening at seven o'clock on Monday for a recap

2334
01:56:30,040 --> 01:56:33,360
Speaker 1: of it all boys, see right, Kevin Bowen joining us

2335
01:56:33,400 --> 01:56:35,560
Speaker 1: on the program. It is a Friday by the way,

2336
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:38,440
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour, and I'm sure they're thrilled at

2337
01:56:38,440 --> 01:56:41,040
Speaker 1: this point based off that that we are at this point,

2338
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:43,720
Speaker 1: but it is a Franciscan feel good, good for the

2339
01:56:43,760 --> 01:56:46,320
Speaker 1: hard Friday. And I've got three stories. Actually two of

2340
01:56:46,400 --> 01:56:48,560
Speaker 1: them are kind of personal, but one of them the

2341
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:50,680
Speaker 1: story of a great young man that's been working hard

2342
01:56:50,720 --> 01:56:53,720
Speaker 1: to get back out into the swing of things, so

2343
01:56:53,800 --> 01:56:56,680
Speaker 1: to speak. And there were a lot of obstacles that

2344
01:56:56,760 --> 01:57:00,360
Speaker 1: came his way, but thanks to the help of not

2345
01:57:00,400 --> 01:57:03,760
Speaker 1: only somebody within his school but his own perseverance, he's back.

2346
01:57:04,160 --> 01:57:09,000
Speaker 1: Will explain next A Friday at the bottom of the Hour.

2347
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:15,000
Speaker 1: And I love the partnership with Franciscan Health and being

2348
01:57:15,040 --> 01:57:18,400
Speaker 1: able to not only share few good stories because there's

2349
01:57:18,440 --> 01:57:23,360
Speaker 1: so much negativity out there right, even in sport, seems

2350
01:57:23,360 --> 01:57:25,440
Speaker 1: like you're always hearing about stories of people not getting

2351
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:28,520
Speaker 1: along or fines or whatever it might be. So when

2352
01:57:28,520 --> 01:57:31,960
Speaker 1: we can feature stories, in a particular, stories of young

2353
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:36,040
Speaker 1: people where a positive impact has been made, then I

2354
01:57:36,080 --> 01:57:38,120
Speaker 1: love being able to do so. And of course, with

2355
01:57:38,320 --> 01:57:41,960
Speaker 1: that important message from Franciscan Health, just forty nine dollars

2356
01:57:42,440 --> 01:57:44,760
Speaker 1: for a heart scan for the number one heart program

2357
01:57:44,800 --> 01:57:47,200
Speaker 1: in Indiana for cardiology by health grades, number one in

2358
01:57:47,240 --> 01:57:50,480
Speaker 1: Indiana for interventional coordinary care and major cardiac surgery by

2359
01:57:50,480 --> 01:57:54,320
Speaker 1: care checks the affordable heart scan for just forty nine dollars.

2360
01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:57,240
Speaker 1: Justin sent me a thing just yesterday that said, Jake,

2361
01:57:57,880 --> 01:57:59,960
Speaker 1: I want to thank you for letting me know about this.

2362
01:58:00,840 --> 01:58:03,160
Speaker 1: It's been on my mind. I went to my cardiologist

2363
01:58:03,280 --> 01:58:05,040
Speaker 1: or my excuse me, my doctor and they set me

2364
01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:06,800
Speaker 1: up with one of the cardiologists. In fact four a

2365
01:58:06,880 --> 01:58:10,040
Speaker 1: heart scan at Franciscan and that peace of mind of

2366
01:58:10,080 --> 01:58:12,400
Speaker 1: knowing not only do you get the heart scan to

2367
01:58:12,440 --> 01:58:14,840
Speaker 1: find out just the calcium within your heart, but also

2368
01:58:15,520 --> 01:58:18,960
Speaker 1: a heart health risk assessment where you can start the

2369
01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:22,400
Speaker 1: right path towards making sure that you are on your

2370
01:58:22,440 --> 01:58:25,680
Speaker 1: way towards a heart healthy lifestyle. This is particularly important

2371
01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:27,560
Speaker 1: if you are over the age of forty, if you

2372
01:58:27,600 --> 01:58:31,720
Speaker 1: are a previous or a current smoker, if you've had

2373
01:58:31,760 --> 01:58:35,760
Speaker 1: diabetes or obesity, or of course, in my case, the

2374
01:58:35,800 --> 01:58:39,160
Speaker 1: family heart history, which is so important to make sure

2375
01:58:39,160 --> 01:58:41,520
Speaker 1: that you are staying on top of all of it.

2376
01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:44,720
Speaker 1: Eight three three two three eight zero six eight eight

2377
01:58:44,800 --> 01:58:47,000
Speaker 1: is the telephone number eight three three two three eight

2378
01:58:47,160 --> 01:58:51,879
Speaker 1: zero six eight eight or Franciscanhealth dot org slash screening bundles,

2379
01:58:51,920 --> 01:58:55,320
Speaker 1: which I will get you all of that information again

2380
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:58,360
Speaker 1: in just a moment. You know. In addition to the

2381
01:58:58,400 --> 01:59:01,480
Speaker 1: great work that Franciscan does in the heart, they also

2382
01:59:01,560 --> 01:59:05,520
Speaker 1: have a transplant Optimization program, which is the only program

2383
01:59:05,600 --> 01:59:09,480
Speaker 1: in the state that offers pre transplant therapeutic intervention to

2384
01:59:10,280 --> 01:59:14,000
Speaker 1: before an organ transplant, for example, would need to take place.

2385
01:59:14,080 --> 01:59:17,600
Speaker 1: And they have an Indiana Blood and Marrow Transplantation Center

2386
01:59:17,680 --> 01:59:21,240
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis for Franciscan Health. So when it comes to

2387
01:59:22,160 --> 01:59:25,320
Speaker 1: organ donation, especially from the bone, marrow and stem cell

2388
01:59:25,360 --> 01:59:30,000
Speaker 1: transplantation for blood cancers and other disorders. Again Franciscan another

2389
01:59:30,080 --> 01:59:35,240
Speaker 1: example of where they are so advanced and so committed

2390
01:59:35,320 --> 01:59:39,520
Speaker 1: towards getting a healthier Indiana. And when it comes to

2391
01:59:39,560 --> 01:59:43,040
Speaker 1: Oregon donation, we've talked about it on this show on

2392
01:59:43,160 --> 01:59:45,040
Speaker 1: a number of occasions. I want to tell you about

2393
01:59:45,320 --> 01:59:48,080
Speaker 1: Jackson Grundy, who is a student at North Montgomery High School.

2394
01:59:48,880 --> 01:59:53,480
Speaker 1: And Jackson probably not unlike many of us new kids

2395
01:59:53,520 --> 01:59:56,120
Speaker 1: like this when we were younger, you get into like

2396
01:59:56,200 --> 01:59:58,840
Speaker 1: say fourth or fifth grade, and you start playing sports

2397
01:59:59,080 --> 02:00:03,040
Speaker 1: and you just realized that, gosh, you know, I grew

2398
02:00:03,120 --> 02:00:05,160
Speaker 1: up watching these other athletes that were big and strong

2399
02:00:05,200 --> 02:00:07,160
Speaker 1: and fast, and you're waiting for your body to catch up,

2400
02:00:07,200 --> 02:00:10,640
Speaker 1: so to speak. And in the case of Jackson, he

2401
02:00:10,720 --> 02:00:13,960
Speaker 1: was a smaller kid, and so his dreams of playing

2402
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:17,560
Speaker 1: some of the different sports maybe weren't coming into reality.

2403
02:00:17,680 --> 02:00:21,600
Speaker 1: He began playing tennis, but his size in general, his

2404
02:00:21,720 --> 02:00:25,080
Speaker 1: parents just wondered what might be the issue, and so

2405
02:00:25,520 --> 02:00:27,120
Speaker 1: they took him to the doctor and at the age

2406
02:00:27,160 --> 02:00:29,680
Speaker 1: of eleven, they found out actually that he was diagnosed

2407
02:00:29,720 --> 02:00:36,120
Speaker 1: with a malfunction within his kidneys, and that was something that,

2408
02:00:36,720 --> 02:00:40,080
Speaker 1: like most you at that age in particular, you start

2409
02:00:40,080 --> 02:00:42,480
Speaker 1: going and seeing the doctor regularly. And for the case

2410
02:00:42,480 --> 02:00:46,440
Speaker 1: of Jackson, probably going and seeing a doctor on the

2411
02:00:46,680 --> 02:00:49,880
Speaker 1: regular basis became the new norm and something that he

2412
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:52,720
Speaker 1: simply fought through. But at the same time, it didn't

2413
02:00:52,720 --> 02:00:55,240
Speaker 1: stop him from pursuing the things that he wanted to pursue,

2414
02:00:55,760 --> 02:00:58,400
Speaker 1: and one of those was a career playing tennis, for

2415
02:00:58,440 --> 02:01:03,720
Speaker 1: example at North Montgomery, and even that eventually had to

2416
02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:07,120
Speaker 1: take a break. That's because as things got worse, and

2417
02:01:07,160 --> 02:01:10,080
Speaker 1: by the time he was sixteen, when he began going

2418
02:01:10,080 --> 02:01:13,680
Speaker 1: on daily dialysis for his kidneys and the way that

2419
02:01:13,720 --> 02:01:18,200
Speaker 1: they weren't simply weren't functioning, his family realized that the

2420
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:20,720
Speaker 1: time was there where he did, in fact need an

2421
02:01:20,720 --> 02:01:23,880
Speaker 1: Oregon transplant, and they needed a kidney donation. And of

2422
02:01:23,880 --> 02:01:27,280
Speaker 1: course with the kidneys, you can live with one kidney.

2423
02:01:27,320 --> 02:01:29,400
Speaker 1: So if you are somebody who has two healthy kidneys

2424
02:01:29,440 --> 02:01:32,720
Speaker 1: and someone would be a match for you, you can

2425
02:01:32,880 --> 02:01:35,160
Speaker 1: donate that kidney. Oscar Robertson is one that did that

2426
02:01:35,240 --> 02:01:38,680
Speaker 1: for his daughter. That was fairly well noted, and in

2427
02:01:38,720 --> 02:01:42,800
Speaker 1: the case of Jackson, you know, the word was put

2428
02:01:42,840 --> 02:01:47,040
Speaker 1: out that he needed a kidney transplant in order to

2429
02:01:47,080 --> 02:01:51,040
Speaker 1: be able to live the life of normalcy and at

2430
02:01:51,200 --> 02:01:53,640
Speaker 1: the length that we would hope for any young person.

2431
02:01:54,240 --> 02:01:56,480
Speaker 1: And sure that the tennis career went on hold at

2432
02:01:56,520 --> 02:01:59,840
Speaker 1: that point, but bigger things came into play. And what

2433
02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:04,720
Speaker 1: it's interesting is as the word went out, what happened

2434
02:02:04,800 --> 02:02:07,280
Speaker 1: was it was actually one of his teachers within North

2435
02:02:07,280 --> 02:02:12,760
Speaker 1: Montgomery High School that was the match. And Jackson actually

2436
02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:14,280
Speaker 1: didn't even know it when he went in and found

2437
02:02:14,280 --> 02:02:15,840
Speaker 1: out that that match was there. But it was an

2438
02:02:15,880 --> 02:02:19,480
Speaker 1: English teacher, Daniel Rogers from North Montgomery that was a

2439
02:02:19,520 --> 02:02:22,040
Speaker 1: match who said, yes, I will go ahead and make

2440
02:02:22,560 --> 02:02:28,120
Speaker 1: that donation. And Jackson was able to not only go

2441
02:02:28,200 --> 02:02:32,920
Speaker 1: on and begin his new life within a healthier step

2442
02:02:33,120 --> 02:02:35,400
Speaker 1: along the way, but to be able to do so

2443
02:02:37,240 --> 02:02:42,400
Speaker 1: in the case of this situation, the kindness, the compassion,

2444
02:02:43,040 --> 02:02:46,040
Speaker 1: the dedication from so many people that are in education

2445
02:02:46,160 --> 02:02:50,440
Speaker 1: from a teacher right there within his school. And he

2446
02:02:50,480 --> 02:02:54,400
Speaker 1: also now is returning back to the tennis court and

2447
02:02:54,440 --> 02:02:57,760
Speaker 1: it will be obviously for Jackson a road ahead that

2448
02:02:57,880 --> 02:03:00,200
Speaker 1: is won when you have Oregon donation. And I know

2449
02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:03,400
Speaker 1: this because in working with the Indiana Donor Network and

2450
02:03:03,880 --> 02:03:06,280
Speaker 1: sharing the story about Brian Clausen, you know, I met

2451
02:03:06,280 --> 02:03:10,160
Speaker 1: a gentleman named Danny who had a transplant and he

2452
02:03:10,960 --> 02:03:13,040
Speaker 1: has to routinely go in to make sure that his

2453
02:03:13,120 --> 02:03:16,040
Speaker 1: body is continuing to accept the organ. That's one of

2454
02:03:16,040 --> 02:03:19,800
Speaker 1: the processes of organ transplants and going on the medication

2455
02:03:19,920 --> 02:03:22,200
Speaker 1: to make sure that there is no rejection. And in

2456
02:03:22,280 --> 02:03:23,960
Speaker 1: Danny's case, he had a bit of a scare with

2457
02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:28,120
Speaker 1: that recently, but the good news is it was nothing

2458
02:03:28,160 --> 02:03:30,480
Speaker 1: more than a scare and his body is continuing to

2459
02:03:30,600 --> 02:03:33,040
Speaker 1: accept that new organ. And I think that's going to

2460
02:03:33,040 --> 02:03:36,880
Speaker 1: be the case with Jackson as well, because sometimes even

2461
02:03:36,920 --> 02:03:40,040
Speaker 1: though the kidneys work in a completely different aspect than

2462
02:03:40,080 --> 02:03:43,360
Speaker 1: say the heart, in this Franciscan Health Feel good good

2463
02:03:43,360 --> 02:03:45,800
Speaker 1: for the Heart Friday, we see a story where it

2464
02:03:45,880 --> 02:03:48,640
Speaker 1: was the heart of somebody else that allowed them to

2465
02:03:48,640 --> 02:03:51,520
Speaker 1: make that donation for the kidney. So Jackson, we say

2466
02:03:52,200 --> 02:03:56,520
Speaker 1: best of luck to you. We say congratulations, as odd

2467
02:03:56,520 --> 02:03:59,560
Speaker 1: as that sounds, on your perseverance, and we look forward

2468
02:03:59,600 --> 02:04:01,200
Speaker 1: to seeing what you were able to do back on

2469
02:04:01,240 --> 02:04:04,800
Speaker 1: the tennis court at North Montgomery, and I wish the

2470
02:04:04,920 --> 02:04:07,600
Speaker 1: very best for that. Also on a personal level, two

2471
02:04:07,680 --> 02:04:09,560
Speaker 1: things that I wanted to share on this day that

2472
02:04:09,680 --> 02:04:14,640
Speaker 1: makes it a great Friday. A great Friday I mentioned

2473
02:04:14,680 --> 02:04:17,000
Speaker 1: earlier with Stephanie White, and I've made mention to it

2474
02:04:17,040 --> 02:04:20,360
Speaker 1: on a few occasions on this show that in July

2475
02:04:20,760 --> 02:04:24,840
Speaker 1: my father suffered two strokes and his heart history is

2476
02:04:24,880 --> 02:04:26,960
Speaker 1: one that I've been aware of it. I'm so keenly

2477
02:04:27,040 --> 02:04:29,440
Speaker 1: aware of it, which is, you know, part of why

2478
02:04:29,480 --> 02:04:32,400
Speaker 1: this particular segment of the radio show is so important

2479
02:04:32,400 --> 02:04:35,880
Speaker 1: to me, and in the case of my father, it

2480
02:04:35,920 --> 02:04:39,200
Speaker 1: has been. And we're very fortunate. We're very fortunate in

2481
02:04:39,240 --> 02:04:42,720
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, cognitively the two strokes that

2482
02:04:42,760 --> 02:04:46,120
Speaker 1: he had did not have significant impact on him, but

2483
02:04:46,240 --> 02:04:50,560
Speaker 1: physically speaking, it did. And it's been a long road.

2484
02:04:50,720 --> 02:04:52,720
Speaker 1: It's been a long journey. It still is a long

2485
02:04:52,760 --> 02:04:56,000
Speaker 1: one to go, no question. But during the course of

2486
02:04:56,080 --> 02:05:01,600
Speaker 1: the show today, my sister sent a picture, my oldest sister,

2487
02:05:01,640 --> 02:05:04,240
Speaker 1: who has been the rock and all of this to

2488
02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:06,800
Speaker 1: the rest of my family, that my dad was able

2489
02:05:06,840 --> 02:05:14,000
Speaker 1: to transfer today from his chair to his bed. He

2490
02:05:14,080 --> 02:05:16,480
Speaker 1: was able to do so standing up without the assistance

2491
02:05:16,480 --> 02:05:21,800
Speaker 1: of the machines. And that sounds so basic, but it's not.

2492
02:05:22,400 --> 02:05:25,200
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, like that's those are the little journeys,

2493
02:05:25,240 --> 02:05:27,800
Speaker 1: those are the little victories that you look for. And

2494
02:05:27,880 --> 02:05:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't mean to get emotional about it, but it is.

2495
02:05:29,760 --> 02:05:31,760
Speaker 1: And it's something so small, right I mean, it's something

2496
02:05:31,800 --> 02:05:34,120
Speaker 1: so small in that case, but I know how hard

2497
02:05:34,160 --> 02:05:36,880
Speaker 1: he's worked, and I know how hard people work for it,

2498
02:05:36,920 --> 02:05:40,240
Speaker 1: and so that is its own victory today. And I

2499
02:05:40,360 --> 02:05:42,040
Speaker 1: just got that about an hour ago when we were

2500
02:05:42,080 --> 02:05:44,760
Speaker 1: on the air. My sister sent that photo. And I

2501
02:05:44,840 --> 02:05:48,080
Speaker 1: know what that means for my dad in particular, to

2502
02:05:48,120 --> 02:05:50,680
Speaker 1: be able to do something even that small, but those

2503
02:05:50,720 --> 02:05:52,960
Speaker 1: little steps, and Jackson is going to go through those

2504
02:05:52,960 --> 02:05:54,960
Speaker 1: little steps as well and getting his swing back right.

2505
02:05:55,760 --> 02:05:57,720
Speaker 1: The other thing I wanted to pass along having nothing

2506
02:05:57,720 --> 02:05:59,240
Speaker 1: to do with the heart, but it does to an

2507
02:05:59,280 --> 02:06:02,600
Speaker 1: extent my buddy Mike Byron who Eddie, as you know,

2508
02:06:02,640 --> 02:06:04,320
Speaker 1: he's the guy I go on trips with it forgets

2509
02:06:04,360 --> 02:06:08,240
Speaker 1: everything right, Miss Keith the wallet, Yeah, Mike. I mean

2510
02:06:08,280 --> 02:06:10,600
Speaker 1: Byron is a is an absent minded guy, no question

2511
02:06:10,640 --> 02:06:11,080
Speaker 1: about it.

2512
02:06:11,160 --> 02:06:15,000
Speaker 2: But last trip, if it was you though, that's right,

2513
02:06:15,040 --> 02:06:15,400
Speaker 2: I did.

2514
02:06:15,440 --> 02:06:19,080
Speaker 1: Actually I left my wallet behind wallet and my keys,

2515
02:06:19,120 --> 02:06:21,600
Speaker 1: I think when I was with Byron. But Byron today

2516
02:06:21,600 --> 02:06:23,160
Speaker 1: and I didn't even know this was going to take place,

2517
02:06:23,200 --> 02:06:25,880
Speaker 1: but again over the course of the show today he

2518
02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:31,160
Speaker 1: sent this. Mike is in his second marriage and the

2519
02:06:31,200 --> 02:06:34,360
Speaker 1: woman that he married, Anne Marie, who's great is a

2520
02:06:34,400 --> 02:06:38,880
Speaker 1: widow and she has children of her own, including a

2521
02:06:38,920 --> 02:06:44,080
Speaker 1: young boy, Cole, and Cole lost his father at a

2522
02:06:44,160 --> 02:06:47,880
Speaker 1: very young age, and his father, Jason, passed away, and

2523
02:06:47,920 --> 02:06:51,320
Speaker 1: so therefore Mike goes into a situation where he has

2524
02:06:51,360 --> 02:06:53,680
Speaker 1: a step son once he and a Marie were married,

2525
02:06:54,200 --> 02:06:57,920
Speaker 1: and Cole is a great kid, and he and Mike

2526
02:06:57,960 --> 02:07:00,680
Speaker 1: have had a very special bond, no question about that.

2527
02:07:01,320 --> 02:07:03,560
Speaker 1: And in no way, shape or form would Mike or Anne,

2528
02:07:03,600 --> 02:07:06,760
Speaker 1: Marie or even Cole expect that this means that it

2529
02:07:06,880 --> 02:07:13,280
Speaker 1: is replacing the legacy, the love, the commitment that Jason

2530
02:07:13,360 --> 02:07:17,560
Speaker 1: had for Cole. But with Jason passing away and then

2531
02:07:17,600 --> 02:07:21,160
Speaker 1: Mike coming into the picture, I don't know whether it

2532
02:07:21,200 --> 02:07:23,120
Speaker 1: was Cole that requested it or whether it was Mike

2533
02:07:23,160 --> 02:07:24,920
Speaker 1: that simply had the discussion, but I know in the

2534
02:07:24,960 --> 02:07:26,880
Speaker 1: times that I talked to Byron and the things that

2535
02:07:26,920 --> 02:07:29,400
Speaker 1: he does with Cole and taking him to ballgames and

2536
02:07:29,440 --> 02:07:34,760
Speaker 1: practices and whatever else. Today, Cole became Cole Alan Fraser

2537
02:07:35,000 --> 02:07:38,360
Speaker 1: Byron by combining the two last names, because Mike adopted

2538
02:07:38,400 --> 02:07:42,400
Speaker 1: him officially as his father now and again, not to

2539
02:07:42,480 --> 02:07:44,920
Speaker 1: take the place of Jason, but rather to carry on

2540
02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:48,640
Speaker 1: the duty that Jason would have liked. And I can

2541
02:07:48,680 --> 02:07:50,839
Speaker 1: tell you that while I did not know Jason Fraser,

2542
02:07:51,680 --> 02:07:54,160
Speaker 1: there would be no one better to carry on the

2543
02:07:54,200 --> 02:07:58,560
Speaker 1: paternal legacy than what Mike will do so little victories

2544
02:07:58,600 --> 02:08:00,320
Speaker 1: in their own right today. Thank you, Thank you for

2545
02:08:00,360 --> 02:08:03,520
Speaker 1: working through that with me. And those are the things

2546
02:08:03,560 --> 02:08:06,320
Speaker 1: that are so important, just in terms of whether it

2547
02:08:06,440 --> 02:08:09,680
Speaker 1: be the medical function of your heart or the spirit

2548
02:08:09,760 --> 02:08:11,840
Speaker 1: of your heart. The heart is so important and that's

2549
02:08:11,840 --> 02:08:14,240
Speaker 1: why Franciscan Health and their forty nine dollars heart scan

2550
02:08:14,760 --> 02:08:17,320
Speaker 1: is such an important thing. Eight three three two three

2551

2584
02:09:57,360 --> 02:10:00,520

Speaker 9: Jake as Binkley's here.

2605
02:10:57,120 --> 02:10:59,760
Speaker 1: German Fest now. But the Wiener Dog Races or the

2606
02:10:59,760 --> 02:11:02,520
Speaker 1: Core got on Corgi races whatever. I just simply say

2607
02:11:02,520 --> 02:11:05,040
Speaker 1: the wiinardog racist. But it is the absolute best. And

2608
02:11:05,080 --> 02:11:07,360
Speaker 1: this is like, it's got to be five or six

2609
02:11:07,440 --> 02:11:08,880
Speaker 1: years in a row that lindsay and I've done it.

2610
02:11:08,920 --> 02:11:10,720
Speaker 1: We love it. Now.

2611
02:11:10,840 --> 02:11:13,360
Speaker 9: Did you ever play basketball when they had a basketball

2612
02:11:13,400 --> 02:11:14,520
Speaker 9: court in the Anthonym?

2613
02:11:14,760 --> 02:11:16,560
Speaker 1: No? And I wish I couldn't you know that? Oh

2614
02:11:17,360 --> 02:11:19,520
Speaker 1: I wish that would have been the best, man, I've

2615
02:11:19,560 --> 02:11:20,320
Speaker 1: played a task.

2616
02:11:20,360 --> 02:11:23,560
Speaker 9: It reminds me of like like York, New York City,

2617
02:11:23,920 --> 02:11:27,160
Speaker 9: totally like an inner city type of basketball court and

2618
02:11:27,240 --> 02:11:28,000
Speaker 9: a small space.

2619
02:11:28,040 --> 02:11:29,440
Speaker 8: It was awesome.

2620
02:11:29,520 --> 02:11:32,600
Speaker 9: I went one on one full court a number of

2621
02:11:32,640 --> 02:11:35,720
Speaker 9: times when I worked at Channel thirteen on a Saturday

2622
02:11:35,760 --> 02:11:39,320
Speaker 9: morning when I finished with Mark Barnheiser, whose son Brooks

2623
02:11:39,360 --> 02:11:42,960
Speaker 9: Barnheiser plays for OKC now and he's the head coach

2624
02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:43,800
Speaker 9: of Lafia Jeff.

2625
02:11:43,800 --> 02:11:46,000
Speaker 8: We went one on one full court in there all

2626
02:11:46,360 --> 02:11:46,800
Speaker 8: the time.

2627
02:11:47,040 --> 02:11:51,120
Speaker 1: Now, the Tabernacle has a gym like that where you

2628
02:11:51,200 --> 02:11:53,280
Speaker 1: feel like you're playing in the Chicago club or the

2629
02:11:53,320 --> 02:11:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, the New York or the Chicago like public leagues, right,

2630
02:11:55,600 --> 02:11:58,520
Speaker 1: which is awesome. Yeah, would you remember the scene in

2631
02:11:58,600 --> 02:12:03,840
Speaker 1: Rounders when when Edward Norton's character was hiding out.

2632
02:12:04,080 --> 02:12:06,560
Speaker 9: Yes, and he was in that gym. That's exactly what

2633
02:12:06,600 --> 02:12:08,600
Speaker 9: the Anthon A and Jim reminded me of.

2634
02:12:08,760 --> 02:12:12,000
Speaker 1: That's that's like tab now the other one. There's a

2635
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:14,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know this, John. This is

2636
02:12:14,880 --> 02:12:17,000
Speaker 1: a benefit to where we work, but at the same

2637
02:12:17,040 --> 02:12:19,720
Speaker 1: time a challenge. There is technically a basketball court in

2638
02:12:19,720 --> 02:12:22,240
Speaker 1: the basement of this building, but it's like eight foot ceilings.

2639
02:12:22,280 --> 02:12:23,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know about you, but I can't shoot.

2640
02:12:25,160 --> 02:12:27,040
Speaker 8: Hey, can I share something with you right now? You

2641
02:12:27,040 --> 02:12:28,400
Speaker 8: think we'll get in trouble for this, Jake.

2642
02:12:29,400 --> 02:12:34,480
Speaker 9: So it's two fifty three and our program directors calling

2643
02:12:34,560 --> 02:12:39,120
Speaker 9: me right now, two fifty three and we're together, and

2644
02:12:39,360 --> 02:12:41,280
Speaker 9: our program directors call me right now?

2645
02:12:41,520 --> 02:12:43,200
Speaker 8: Do you think he just lost track of time?

2646
02:12:46,240 --> 02:12:46,720
Speaker 1: Possibly?

2647
02:12:48,960 --> 02:12:50,400
Speaker 8: Maybe you should answer it?

2648
02:12:50,560 --> 02:12:52,080
Speaker 1: Answer it? Can you answer it?

2649
02:12:52,120 --> 02:12:55,560
Speaker 8: Make sure we're still doing the show? No, man, Well,

2650
02:12:55,600 --> 02:12:57,480
Speaker 8: I could say, hey, man, what are you doing? We're

2651
02:12:57,520 --> 02:12:59,640
Speaker 8: doing the crossover brought to you by Love Eating an

2652
02:12:59,600 --> 02:13:00,200
Speaker 8: air right now.

2653
02:13:00,400 --> 02:13:02,640
Speaker 9: Nah, I wouldn't want to make him feel bad, which

2654
02:13:03,040 --> 02:13:05,520
Speaker 9: is probably exactly what I'm doing right now by saying

2655
02:13:05,560 --> 02:13:08,000
Speaker 9: this on the air. But no, I go hey, man,

2656
02:13:08,520 --> 02:13:11,520
Speaker 9: we're on the air right now doing the crossover, so

2657
02:13:11,600 --> 02:13:13,800
Speaker 9: now it's it's pretty funny. He normally does, Jake, I

2658
02:13:13,840 --> 02:13:16,600
Speaker 9: will say this, and the crossover with Love Eating Ears

2659
02:13:16,760 --> 02:13:20,320
Speaker 9: is a little bit still fresh and new. But he

2660
02:13:20,400 --> 02:13:22,880
Speaker 9: normally calls me on Fridays at this time anyway, so

2661
02:13:23,040 --> 02:13:26,080
Speaker 9: there's nothing really really new. But I found it funny.

2662
02:13:26,720 --> 02:13:32,120
Speaker 1: All right? Well, as did you? Did you make sure hey,

2663
02:13:32,120 --> 02:13:36,680
Speaker 1: don't lump me into this. Come on now, don't bring

2664
02:13:36,720 --> 02:13:38,680
Speaker 1: me into it. I made it this far this week.

2665
02:13:38,680 --> 02:13:42,160
Speaker 9: Come on now right, Wait a minute, now, my producer's
