Speaker 4: Nige and I are so fortunate for this gig. We

18
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 4: getting a little comfortable around us, but we love that.

19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,640

Speaker 4: what do you want to talk about?

40
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,240

00:01:59,520 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: Come on.

44
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 5: I thought summer is over and all the roadwork would

45
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 5: go away. Of course it doesn't happen. Like that. I mean,

46
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 5: we still have like major projects on the northeast side.

47
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 5: On the south side, that I sixty five deal is

48
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 5: going to be there until the end of next year.

49
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: I hate to tell you that the I sixty five

50
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: deal sixty five. That's my scientific turn fort. It's sixty five.

51
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: You know the thing, you know the thing where.

52
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 5: It's sixty five between four to sixty five and the

53
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 5: south split within adding a lane, and that's going to

54
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 5: be until the end of next year. And the rewrites

55
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 5: Madison Avenue on the south side, and that's in the

56
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 5: construction too.

57
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

58
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 4: There's a thing about this when winter comes right and

59
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 4: there's a winter storm advisory and the roads have got

60
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 4: sleet and snow on them, and you get sent off

61
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 4: the highway, which is usually in the best shape to

62
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 4: go on to Madison.

63
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, oh Madison, you're down the one lane in

64
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 5: each direction.

65
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 3: And keep this in mind.

66
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 5: On Madison, it's like sixty five, we're adding a lane

67
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 5: Madison Avenue, we're taking one away.

68
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: I feel like the dealer in European vacation.

69
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 4: How about you just go out in the back alley

70
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 4: all kick you in the nuts.

71
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what I was doing in my car.

72
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: It's kicking myself in the nuts.

73
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 5: When I said the Madison Avenue construction zone the other day,

74
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 5: it always feels so narrow and so dangerous, and they're dumb.

75
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 5: Excuse me, they are dumb trucks coming in and out

76
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 5: of this construction zone, which are a lot bigger than

77
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 5: my car, My little craffy little car with the bumper

78
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 5: tap Dodd.

79
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: It's it's intimidating to me.

80
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: It's why's that guy got his bumper taped on his car? Oh,

81
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: that's the best traffic reporter in.

82
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: Indiot it's not.

83
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: There mat just a blackout license play with.

00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 5: And not only that, but if you're going, boy, I

00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 5: didn't want to get on this guy's I'm so when

86
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 5: you're going south towards Indianapolis excuse me north, and you're

87
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 5: trying to get from like Pleasant Wrung, it's a bottleneck.

88
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: So everybody's trying.

89
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 5: To get into this one construction late at once, and

90
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 5: you're only about I don't know. It feels like fifteen

91
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 5: twenty yards for a construction worker anytime.

92
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: Ever he's trying to merge into this way. It's dangerous. Man,

93
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: feels really.

94
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 4: Thank god that when the winter happens, everybody drives really well,

95
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: sure we've got that, maybe maybe we don't.

96
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: We might get a little snowplow out there this winter, the.

97
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: First snow of the year. Man Win.

98
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 4: I always pray for you, because if we're on the

99
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: air and Heaven forbid, it just flurries a little bit.

100
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 4: There's people out of the roads going, oh my god,

101
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 4: what do we do.

102
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 5: It's it's bumper cucks man that turns into a junkyard.

103
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 5: And I laugh at it, not at people. It's it's

104
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 5: I have nothing but empathy for our listeners and our

105
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 5: drivers because my top blows after a quarter of a

106
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 5: mile driving downtown. Just you know the piazza protus trucks

107
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 5: that put on their hazards anywhere they want, call the

108
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 5: park anywhere, like it's I think it's an on Washington allie.

111
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,960

112
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,920

113
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 5: it's it's going to be a tough winter. As far

114
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 5: as construction, we still have clear path up on the

115
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 5: northeast side. That's the redesign, the makeover the model of

116
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 5: I sixty nine and four to sixty five, and that's

117
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 5: still going on right now. And we have a lot

118
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 5: of lane restrictions coming up up there this weekend, so

119
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 5: there are a lot of things going on as far

120
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 5: as roadwork. And I know we don't have a COLT

121
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 5: scheme this Sunday, but anytime you're out at Idiotapolis during

122
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 5: the weekend, I just advise you plan accordingly, plan ahead,

123
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 5: and please be safe.

124
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 4: It's tough, and man, watch your speed because it sounds

125
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 4: like speeding tickets are getting passed out like cards in

126
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 4: Vegas right now.

127
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 5: You know the state you're talking about that northeast side

128
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 5: project where they put up speed cameras, they take a

129
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 5: picture of your license plate.

130
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: Oh you get something in the mail. You know it says, hey,

131
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: you know, this is your warning.

132
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 5: And then the second violation you can find seventy five dollars.

133
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 5: The third violation is one hundred and fifty dollars. Since

134
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 5: these speed cameras were instituted, we're talking about, the state

135
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 5: is raked in like six hundred thousand.

136
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: Dollars in fins.

137
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, just the hundreds and hundreds of these fines have

138
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 5: gone out. So somebody is making some money on this.

139
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 5: Somebody's making some bank and you know that money, it

140
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 5: just rolls into the general fund, it goes to the

141
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 5: county and people are able to hopefully put it back

142
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 5: into the roses to place.

143
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 3: Telling jokes today, thought you were clean?

144
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 5: Have you know what if he's off the wagon, If

145
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 5: I was in down, I just flip everybody the bird

146
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 5: and say, hey, we're putting a toll booth on four

147
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 5: sixty five with your ticket money.

148
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: And that's gonna be that. That's gonna be the end

149
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: of it.

150
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: Are they still do they do the the like the

151
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: stoplight on the on ramps here? Oh, didn't we talk

152
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: about that? Is there one of beach Grave? I experienced

153
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: my the first for the first time ever. I experienced

154
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: one in Denver a couple of days ago, headed towards

155
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: the airport. Never here, though, How are they working out.

156

Speaker 5: the rolling stoplights of indiant Apps.

158
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 4: It seems weird to come to a full stop and

159
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 4: then have to just drop the hammer like a drag

160
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 4: racer to merge onto the Highway.

161
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,119
Speaker 5: In the meantime, like, yeah, you have a whole okay

162
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 5: eravan of semi's coming by that rightly, Like when they.

163
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 4: Have those here, like the NHRA Nationals. You wait for

164
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 4: the green light.

165
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: Dude, dude, dude, gotta merge on.

166
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 5: Florid and it's Freddy Carr comes up a little bit

167
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 5: because you're you know, you're drag racing out of that.

168
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're still there. That's southwest side stuff.

169
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 5: As you come off, like northwest side, west side stuff.

170
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 5: Where's the Attorney General when you come off like Emerson

171
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 5: or I believe the Bill Road and they have the

172
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 5: ramp metering that I would think that it makes people

173
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 5: more safe.

174
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 3: I don't know.

175
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 5: I don't use those ramps very often, but if you're

176
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 5: dealing with that as well as the road construction, God bless.

177
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: You, Matt.

178
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 4: Before we get into the clip from Supporting Sobriety the

179
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 4: podcast that you and Ryan Hendrick put on, any concerns

180
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 4: of closures or restrictions with the no kings at the

181
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: State House tomorrow.

182
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 5: Not necessarily. I would just be very careful going around downtown.

183
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 5: It's tough enough watching out for pedestrians, you know, especially

184
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 5: during convention times.

185
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: What you have a lot about in town or is

186
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: I'm thinking.

187
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 5: Of the FFA convention, which we all love, We love

188
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 5: having the kids here. But you know, people kind of

189
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 5: me under out into the crosswalks. So, and I know

190
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 5: whether or not you agree with no Kings, just please

191
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 5: don't get yourself into trouble and get yourself into a

192
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 5: traffic accident with a pedestrians struck. Just be very careful

193
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 5: if you happen to be downtown tomorrow near the State House.

194
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 5: If you're not, you're good to go. But again, just

195
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 5: watch out. It is pedestrian friendly downtown and very much so.

196
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 4: And maybe the no Kings folks could actually do something

197
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 4: productive and go in front of the Aes building downtown

198
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 4: and have a no rate increases.

199
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 2: Could we do that?

200
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: The truth will set you free? I mean, come on.

201
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 4: Lord, Supporting Sobriety is the name of the podcast. You

202
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: can subscribe to it, get it anywhere you get your podcast.

203
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 4: There's a link to it on the WIBC website.

204
00:08:59,200 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 2: What are we going to hear it?

205
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 3: Okay?

206
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 5: In our last episode, Ryan Hendrick, our Estevee morning anchor,

207
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 5: it does so many cool things that TikTok is sure

208
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 5: to cover if you want to follow him. But we

209
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 5: talked about getting that call. Making that call. It is supporting.

210
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 5: Sobriety is about the caregiver, the people that we tormented

211
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 5: through our addiction. I'm a recovering alcoholic and anect rind

212
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 5: is a recovering an addict, and we want to talk

213
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 5: to the caregivers of us and of the people in recovery.

214
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 5: So everybody, every caregiver at some point, you know what

215
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 5: you're dealing with a guy like me, You're gonna get

216
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 5: that call either I'm thinking about drinking or I'm drunk.

217
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 5: And I encountered a situation where maybe it was starting

218
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 5: to get a little bit on the fence, and that

219
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 5: is not a place a recovery now call wants to be.

220
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 3: And this is what happened. I'm almost home.

221
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 5: I can see the ramp, I can smell the ramp,

222
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 5: I can smell the fresh pavement.

223
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 3: And we hit this rolling closure.

224
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 5: Interesting is completely closed one thirty in the morning, and

225
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 5: my god, I'm surrounded by drunks. Oh my goodn yes,

226
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 5: it was just to the right of me, to the

227
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 5: left of me, in front and back. I had the

228
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 5: motorcycle is engine and he was listening to Bob Seger,

229
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 5: you know, all the way through the city. And then

230
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 5: I had the R and B music coming in through

231
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 5: the other window, and behind me, everybody was having a

232
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 5: good time but me and I'm just sitting there and

233
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 5: it's the first time I've really even thought about drinking

234
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 5: all summer long. Was in this stopped traffic because I'm

235
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 5: looking around everybody smiling, have a good time, and I'm

236
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 5: losing my fucking mind because I'm so close to home.

237
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 2: I mean, you're an open book in this podcast.

238
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: Man.

239
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: That's what almost drove me over the edge was traffic.

240
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, and I'm coming to him.

241
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 5: I go up into a ballgame in Chicago too, with

242
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 5: my traffic family. I have a traffic family that I

243
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 5: work with on a day to day basis. Love those

244
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 5: guys as well. And I was coming back and I

245
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 5: should have said this before, but I hit that roll

246
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 5: enclosure and the thing that bothered me is just nobody

247
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 5: looked miserable except for me.

248
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, they looked the exact opposite.

249
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 5: If you're out in Indianapolis one thirty in the morning,

250
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 5: there's a chance you're in heperator I'm.

251
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: Not saying you are. I'm saying there's a chance. Yeah,

252
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: there's a very good chance.

253
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 5: And during that time, I'm texting one of my friends

254
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 5: in recovery because I knew they'd be up. We're going

255
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 5: back and forth, and when I got home, I didn't

256
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 5: want to buy the bottle. I wasn't even thinking about drinking,

257
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 5: in fact, but I really wasn't there. I was like,

258
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 5: I'm going to go to the Kroger, the sixteenth Street

259
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 5: Kroger and buy a bottle.

260
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 3: If I go, would I finally get out of this

261
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 3: traffic Jym. It wasn't like that.

262
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 5: But you just know when you get into recovery, you're

263
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 5: starting to get on the fringe a little bit, get on.

264
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: That, you know, off balance and everything.

265
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 5: And that's why recovery is so cool, because there's somebody

266
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 5: that's going to be there for you, ready to talk

267
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 5: to you.

268
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 3: Even if it's an week, all morning.

269
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 5: Give over the hours, because that's what we have to

270
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 5: do when comfort it, give it away and then we

271
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 5: get it back. So it was it was a cool

272
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: moment for me because I was tested a little bit

273
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 5: and I was able to come through it. So it's

274
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 5: a pretty Badass.

275
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,560
