49
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: so we were just all talking and hanging out. And

50
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: then we also made the connection that JJ went to

51
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: high school with Nick McGill, who is the anchor at

52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,880

00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: with Husky Pride Parker before as Usky Pride. There you go.

54
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't think we're the most famous people to go

55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: to PRF at that time. Uman Chumpert will have us

56
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: beat Dancing with the Stars Champion. That's exactly how he's

57
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: going to be remembered, not for winning an NBA talk

58
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: to with the Cleveland Caviliers. Oh my god, and rightfully, so,

59
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: and mate was holding it down and dad duty on

60
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: Sunday with the kiddos. Yeah, well, let the man. I'll

61
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: tell you what if you want to, if you want

62
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: to build up some brownie points, take an IndyCar family

63
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: and let their daughter go to the race with them

64
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: while you sit back and watch the kids for a day. Um,

65
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: that's how you build up some brownie points. So later

66
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: on this summer, I'm gonna cash those bad boys. And

67
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: when I want to go do something on my own,

68
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what that will be. In an afternoon

69
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: Red's game or something and oh yeah, just you know what,

70
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: I need to hit the time out. But now I'm

71
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: out for just like a half of a day here, right,

72
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: So then how many I lost all my brownie points

73
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: because I went to the race and did not do

74
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: any childcare? Had you been before? Three times? So this

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: is my fourth thime? Okay, okay, all right? What is

76
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: perfect week? People are always surprised. They're like, oh, you're

77
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: you're now You're now live in Indiana going to the race.

78
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: You're really doing it up. I'm like, this is the

79
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: fourth time I've gone. Yeah, yeah, it's cool. I love it.

80
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: Oh the race. That's awesome. I don't know much about

81
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: Indy car but yeah, the race is fun. Sure. I

82
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: like cars that go fast. Would you would you have

83
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: any interest in the Indy five hundred? Like would you

84
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: do you think like the national appeal the gravitational poll

85
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: that the Indianapolis five hundred has between here and Chicago

86
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: where you grew up. Do you think that would have

87
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: been enough to bring you in to the Indy five

88
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: hundred on its own without your your family connection. Yeah,

89
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: I think it's your roots. Yeah, it would be. It

90
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: would be the same with you know, the the Kentucky

91
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Derby and the Masters kind of in my in my

92
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: book on that where you know, I don't know the

93
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: first thing about horse racing, but I'd love to go

94
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: to the Kentucky Derby. I like golf. I don't watch

95
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: a ton of golf, but I would love to go

96
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: to the Masters. So I think it's in that. It's

97
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: in that same like, if you're an American sports fan,

98
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: you should have the Indie five hundred on your bucket

99
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: list type thing. I completely agree. I completely agree. You know,

100
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: my wife doesn't have too much of a sorry Larish,

101
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: she doesn't have too much of an interest in the

102
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby um and I asked her yesterday, it's neat.

103
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: Do you do you think if you didn't live in

104
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: Indianapolis that you would want to go to the Indianapolis

105
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: five hundred? Do you think it would mean as much

106
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: to you as it does? And she saye not, probably not? Yeah,

107
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: I get it, Probably not. It's just civic pride. It's

108
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: just what you do. I mean, it's just you grow

109
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: up with it. It gets passed down from generation to generation.

110
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,119
Speaker 1: Like she's going to inherit her parents seats that they've

111
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: used for thirty plus years. Now, when will be for you,

112
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: guys who are parents who have young children, when is

113
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: the age you would consider taking a child to experience

114
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: in sitting in seats? Obviously like going that direction. No

115
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,679
Speaker 1: earlier than ten. I was gonna say ten, okay, yeah,

116
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: all right, it's I mean, it's a long day, right,

117
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: and even if you don't make it a long day,

118
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: it's a long day for ten year old Yeah, right right.

119
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: My first race was ten, and we got there on

120
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: purpose because it was my first time. We got there

121
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: right of the green flag, and we left it because

122
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: they knew I couldn't make it so we got there

123
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: right at the green flag. I don't know how my

124
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: dad pulled it off traffic wise, but he did. And

125
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: that's sort of his mo. He doesn't sit in traffic.

126
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: He's got all the back roots figured out. But we

127
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: got there right of the green flag, and then I

128
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: think we left like a lap two. Also, Matt has

129
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: embraced um that talent of his dad about traffic, because

130
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: when we were in Miami this season, we drove over

131
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: to the stadium and we're parking to go in, and

132
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: Matt's already like, we're gonna park here, so it's the

133
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: easy way to get out. And I was always commercial,

134
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: the progressive commercial, and I was like, oh, great grandpa here,

135
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: like I mean, you know, and then after I mean,

136
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna be the last We're gonna be the last

137
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: ones to leave the stadium anyway, So it doesn't it's

138
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: two hours after the game when we're leaving, Like, we're

139
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: gonna park here close to the entrance so that when

140
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: we leave, no one will be blocking us from getting

141
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: out of the parking lot. So what are your summer plans? Like,

142
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're sitting here, We're we're nearing pouch cushions,

143
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: going back to three up. I don't know, going back

144
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: to three up couch cushions, by the way, that's that's

145
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: an inside joke. By the way, it is an inside joke.

146
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: Casey has some neighbors who to explain it. Casey has

147
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: some neighbors who sit outside in their backyard on couch cushions,

148
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: not on a couch, on just the cush They are

149
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: comfortable as hell. I appreciate that level of comfort and

150
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: that confidence to be that comfortable in public. Yeah, we

151
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: have a big project. And I say we have a

152
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,559
Speaker 1: big project. Really, Dan, my husband has the big project

153
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: because he's the one doing all of the work. I

154
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: just tried to stay out of the way. So we're

155
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: like doing a big house runner. We have an older home,

156
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: so we're doing that. We're embarking on that. So that

157
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: is really dictating all of our summer activity for the

158
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: most part. So Yeah, But one of the things I

159
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: was thinking of is if you are a person who

160
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: has uh, you know, decided to like taking it upon

161
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: him or herself to you know, do all the demo yourself.

162
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: He's doing, like I don't even probably like ninety percent

163
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: of the work and then bringing contractors in. How do

164
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: I show support in doing that because I am not

165
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: very handy. You know, We're not like a Chip and

166
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: Joanna Gaines type of duo here, folks like you know

167
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: what you do, get the heck out of the ways

168
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: what I do, and then I bring food, and I

169
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: bring like beverages and stuff, but what else like, So,

170
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: if you have any suggestions, if you have taken on

171
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: as a couple one of these big projects, it is

172
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: very stressful if you feel very displaced, because it affects

173
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: our kitchen, our dining room, relating all those things. So

174
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: if there are ways that I can help and support

175
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: and do things like, go ahead and tweet them Jimmy

176
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: and send me ideas. You just don't don't complain. That's

177
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: what you do. Stay stay positive. Reinforced told me about

178
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: a week ago doing a great job an optimist. Yeah right, yeah,

179
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: here's here's some beer. Yeah you know. Yeah, so I'm

180
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: trying to do all the carryouts that I'm pretty good

181
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, how about you summer plans? Well, we

182
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: we're going to go to Hilton Head and then my

183
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: son broke his leg. What you talked about on the podcast,

184
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: last week, so that is no longer happening. So summer

185
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: plans are probably to hang around here. There you go,

186
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: so enjoy all that Central Indiana has offered, which is

187
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: a lot it is, Yeah, a lot of things to

188
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: do here. Probably spend a lot of time with the zoo.

189
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Children's museum, Children's Museum, contor prairie. Yeah, maybe

190
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: make a trip down to Cincinnati. Go King's Island. Of course,

191
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: it's on the table, ye never been. Maybe winn he's

192
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: out of the cast. We wait for that preferably. Yeah. Yeah,

193
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: I don't think that would go over super well. It's

194
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: just pulling a kid to king I mean, I don't

195
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: even know if they'll go in the roller coasters. They're

196
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: pretty pretty small. Yeah, we'll see. Anyways, we got some

197
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: football to talk about. Still. We are in week two

198
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: of OTAs. Week two, Week two of OTASU. Next week

199
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna get the mandatory veteran mini camp, So that's

200
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: going to be kind of a little bit more of

201
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: a ratcheted up a couple of days of practice than OTAs.

202
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: Remember OTAs, you know you can do seven on seven,

203
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: eleven on eleven work. There are no pads, You're just

204
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: in helmets and shells. So you know, we got to

205
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: see practice last Wednesday and it was our first like

206
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:17,119
Speaker 1: real look at this new look team in helmets and jerseys.

207
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: So where were your biggest takeaways just from watching that

208
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: practice last week from OTAs And this is a very

209
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: broad topics. You can take this anyway you want to go. Lara, Oh,

210
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: you're pointing at Matt. As soon as I was like, Lara,

211
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: we were at the four away stop you go, now

212
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: I go. You got here first, Yeah, you just go. Okay,

213
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: so me just go. Um. One of the things that

214
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: stood out to me was the amount of work they

215
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: were able to get in and it really was indicative

216
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: of what you missed out on the last two years

217
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: when you weren't able to have this in its traditional fashion,

218
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: have any of these organized activities in the way we're

219
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: used to seeing him seeing them. Loved to see Matt

220
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: Ryan at work with a variety of receivers, a lot

221
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: of work to a lot of pass catching from Jonathan

222
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: Taylor and nihiim Hines. You're starting to see a few

223
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: of the wrinkles that they can implement within the offense.

224
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: Now that you have Matt Ryan in there, and that,

225
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, Frank Reich said, yeah, if you're

226
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: a fantasy football owner, draft Niheim Hines like that was

227
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: like one of the best quotes of the week. I thought,

228
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: so funny, just and so that's just previewing how involved

229
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: Nihim is going to be in multiple facets of the offense.

230
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: So love to see that. I also, guys, I thought

231
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: that there were some situations where the secondary was particularly impressive.

232
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: So that was one of the things too where I'm

233
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: interested to see now knowing a little bit more about

234
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: what this defense looks like with Gus Bradley and company

235
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: and also new guys like Stefan Gilmore in there, I'm

236
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: just thinking about, you know, a lot of new additions

237
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: on the back half of the ball, guys like Rodney

238
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: McCleod who's trying starting to work his way, and we're

239
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: starting to see what that's looking like. That's one of

240
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: the intriguing things for me. I think you knew offensively,

241
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: you had a level of expectation because it's so well

242
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: documented what Matt Ryan can do. The unknown was just

243
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: his working with these receivers. So we've kind of seen

244
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: that flushed out now. I think this week and this

245
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: weekend next week, I'm really excited to see a little

246
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: bit more of the defense. Maytay, where are your thoughts? Yeah,

247
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: you wanted to see Matt Ryan. You wanted to see

248
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: him be in charge of the offense. And then when

249
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: you looked at him, you know, you saw a guy

250
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: who looked like he already knew the offense really, really well,

251
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: even though he didn't prior to him signing with this

252
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: team in late March. You saw him throwing to the

253
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: open guy, checking it down, also taking shots. There was

254
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: that big gain to Ashton Dolan, anticipating guys getting open,

255
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: knowing where to go with the ball early, getting it out,

256
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: and then to piggyback off of Lara because he was

257
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: that impressive. It was nine Hines and everybody's talked about it.

258
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: You know, the differences with Hines, with Rivers and Andrew

259
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: Luck can pay to Jacoby Brissette and Carson Wentz. He's

260
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: in for an enormous year. I mean, if you looked

261
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: at the last four games of the season last year,

262
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: he didn't go over twenty yards from scrimmage. I mean,

263
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: if he doesn't go over fifty yards from scrimmage in

264
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: a game, this year that will be disappointing. I think

265
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: he's going to be so involved and I just can't

266
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: wait for what he can do in this offense. Based

267
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: on what you saw in one practice, he was the

268
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: fastest guy on the field and maybe the most involved

269
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: skill player in offense. Did he not look faster for

270
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: whatever reason? Like it was I don't know he stood

271
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: out that much he did. Like it was almost like

272
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: if you have your DVR at home with direct TV,

273
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: so on the on the remote when you hit like,

274
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, the single speed fast forward than the double speed,

275
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: but I didn't go up to like four or five.

276
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: He was at like three to four fast forward speed.

277
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: Like it just looked even quicker than what we're used

278
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: to seeing. And I'm one who is like closest to

279
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: a lot of that. Niheam gained a speed as anyone

280
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: as you know, being in a position I am on

281
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: the sidelines, But yeah, he looked like it was a

282
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: next level speed for whatever reason. And that is really

283
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: exciting to see how that's going to unfold in compliment

284
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: to what you know you're gonna get in the running

285
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: game from Jonathan Taylor. So you guys kind of covered

286
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: the you know the couple of guys I wanted to

287
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: really get at there, So I want to just talk

288
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: a little bit about watching steffind Gilmore. I love this

289
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: watching him go through his technique just in you know,

290
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: and he didn't he wasn't like fully participating out there,

291
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: but just watching how he uses his footwork to set

292
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: up press and how he uses how hes very methodical,

293
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: yes he's And that is the thing with Gilmore. He's

294
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: so detailed with everything. So how does he open up

295
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: for inside or outside release? How does he set that up?

296
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: How does he use the sideline to his advantage? How

297
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: does he use some of the coverages in the middle

298
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: of the field to his advantage. This is a guy,

299
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a DPOY three years ago. He's made

300
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: four consecutive Pro Bowls. I just love watching those guys

301
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: who are like some of these best players in the game,

302
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: what they do in practice and what their practice habits are.

303
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: And you know who else is watching that, Isaiah Rodgers,

304
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, Kenny Moore the second. All these teammates of

305
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: his who are are good players can learn so much

306
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: from house to find. Gilmour goes about Brandon Facon too.

307
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: I thought he gets, he gets. He was active. He

308
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: was he was very active. I was going to say

309
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: he got a certainly a workload of reps of course

310
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: in the last week, and you'll expect that to continue

311
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: to build. Two. I thought he was one you know

312
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: who someone said the other day that they reminded him

313
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: of and I was like, this is a great comparison

314
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: Pierre to Seer. He has like a Pierre de Sier

315
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: kind of a quality about him. And Pierre was someone who,

316
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, was such an important piece of this defense

317
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: for so long, an important piece of the locker room too.

318
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: But that was an interesting comparison that someone made, and

319
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: I really kind of liked that association. Yeah, Pierre to

320
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: Sier not always a you know, he only had seven

321
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: starts before he arrived in Indianapolis, over a couple of

322
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: teams Cleveland, San Diego. He comes here and turns out

323
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: to be a pretty good player for the Colts for

324
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: a couple of years. I'd pay if the Colts just

325
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: signed you know, Pierre de Seer and Brandon Fason that peace,

326
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: that'd be very very good. From Lindenwood College, Pierre, where's

327
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: Lindenwood College? I think it's Yeah, I guess I should

328
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: have known that, being he was Walter Payton Man of

329
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: the Year one year for the Colts. So by the way,

330
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: Nayim Hines was over fifty yards from scrimmage and only

331
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: four games last season. Wow, only four times he's gonna

332
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: have If he goes under fifty yards from scrimmage in

333
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: four games this year, I'll be surprised. Kind of like

334
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: you were saying, um, we got a little peak two

335
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: at some of you know of an extremely rough draft

336
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: of a starting lineup. Uh, you know, both on offense

337
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: and defense. So you know you saw all the guys

338
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: you expect, you know, Matt Ryan, Jonathan Taylor, Uh, Quintin Nelson, Ryan, Kelly,

339
00:16:54,920 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: Braden Smith, Quitte Pay, Grover Stewart to Forrest Buckner, Bobby o'karackay,

340
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: you know those guys out there, no one who you're

341
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: obviously surprised by. The Colts did have a number of

342
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: guys not participating for various reasons. Julian Blackman, k Anymore,

343
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: the second carry Willis, Darius Leonard Unique and Goaquaite Taekwon Lewis.

344
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: You know we saw Michael Pittman and Dennis Kelly kind

345
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: of in and out last week. Nothing nothing too significant

346
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: there any anything that you guys noticed though, was surprising

347
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: in terms of guys who were out there, maybe with

348
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: the first team offense or the first team defense over

349
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: the practice we got to see. I think it's some

350
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: subtle things, you know, the things that you know after

351
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: looking at the list, some of the things that stood

352
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: out just a little bit. And it's not a huge deal.

353
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: I mean, Jelanni Woods and Moiley Cox were in the

354
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: early you know, two tight end sets over a guy

355
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: like kyl and Granson who's playing more. From what I

356
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: saw with the number two offense last Wednesday, it's like

357
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: it's like the what we talked about last week. May

358
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: say though, is like, you know, that's the heavy twelve

359
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 1: personnel package. Granson would be kind of in the lighter personnel.

360
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: So it could have just been the day sure on

361
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: that point, and I just you know, the point is

362
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: just don't forget about him. You know, only eleven catches.

363
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: We should mention he was. He was mixing in a lot,

364
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: and I think he can line up in various spots

365
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: in this offense and take advantage of matchups. I mean,

366
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: if you go Nickel, you're gonna have arguably your fourth

367
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: or fifth best defender skill player wise, on a matchup

368
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: with Kyl and Granson. I mean, that's that's a win

369
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: for the Colts, I think in terms of skill and

370
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: athleticism and mobility. Also a little bit surprised that Alec

371
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: Pierce was running with the second team offense again from

372
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: what I could see, but I suppose that's to be

373
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: expected this early. And then Mike Strown, we saw it

374
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, gonna have a wonderful chance to make this

375
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: team and contribute as the number four and number five

376
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Maybe the Colts keep six with Ashton doing

377
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: on special teams as well, but he was playing a

378
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: lot with that first team. He's gonna have a fantastic

379
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: opportunity to, you know, take a huge jump, quite frankly,

380
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: from a guy that was red shirted most of last

381
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: year to a guy that they're going to count on

382
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: to contribute with four hundred five hundred receiving yards next season.

383
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: One things for me is that they weren't rushing Alec

384
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: Pierce into doing an abundance of work with the ones

385
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: right out of the gates. You saw still a very

386
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: heavy workload for Paris Campbell. He's building his confidence backup

387
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: coming off of that injury. So you had him mixed

388
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: in and out, but there was really good variety with

389
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: those receivers, and I think it's indicative that they're not

390
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: going to force Alec Pierce into a situation where he's

391
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: expected to do a heavy workload too early. I think

392
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: he will build up to that. I don't think you

393
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: want to force it to where he has to carry

394
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: the bulk of the receptions behind Michael Pittman. So I

395
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: think you're going to see a good spread, a good

396
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: rotation of guys within that receiving group. But I do

397
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: think that you don't. I think that you're seeing it's

398
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: a very methodical approach into integrating Alec Pierce and not

399
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: putting too much pressure or expectation on him early in

400
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: his he season. I think he is a proven playmaker.

401
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: He is going to be a guy who is called upon.

402
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: But I just think it's no surprise if you see

403
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: maybe they're a little good they're going to slow play

404
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: that potentially early on to start the season. It's all

405
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: about how much he can he can handle as they

406
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: put more on his plate. You know, he as a rookie.

407
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: No matter if you are the number three overall pick

408
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: or the number fifty three overall pick like Pierce was,

409
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: you have to earn those those reps. You have to

410
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: earn those snaps throughout OTA's mini camp, training camp, preseason

411
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: games and show that you can handle getting more on

412
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: your plate. So you know, and again it's not it's

413
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: not the end of the world if in year one

414
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: Pierce is not out there as the number two wide

415
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: receiver for the Colts. Yeah. I mean, let's remember Michael

416
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: Pittman had like five hundred yards as a rookie. Yeah,

417
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: you know, and no one's questioning how good of a

418
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: player Michael Pittman is. And it's also May right, Yeah,

419
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: you don't even get the playbook until what two and

420
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: a half weeks ago, right after the draft, So you know,

421
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: I don't I think sometimes in OTAs, if a guy

422
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: really pops and flashes, you can sometimes read too much

423
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: into it, And sometimes you can read a little bit

424
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: too much into well, why isn't this guy out there?

425
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: You know, I thought he was going to be an

426
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: immediate contributor. Well, yeah, like you said, Mayday, it's just May.

427
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: Let's recircle back this d this conversation three months from now, right, Yeah,

428
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: training camp, preseason, those are going to be your really

429
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: true indicators. And also speaking of that guy's one hundred

430
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: days away from the start of the regular season, that

431
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: opening night game, one hundred days from this too, Holy

432
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: car serious, I swear man. I know I've said this, Yeah,

433
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: I know I've said it like a hundred times this offseason,

434
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: but I'm like, it feels like January was like two

435
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: weeks ago. It feels like the Colts just traded for

436
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. It feels like the Colts just signs to

437
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: find Gilmore. And here we are, it's almost June. We're

438
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: getting we are very close to the dead period of

439
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: this offseason, like the true dead period. And hey, I

440
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: mean we're it's it's gonna happen fast. Enny Camp is

441
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: gonna happen fast. Are we worried about Darius Leonard right now?

442
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: You know he had the ankle that you know, he

443
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: i mean absolutely gritted his way through last year, still

444
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: played at an incredibly high level. You know, Frank Raik

445
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: said he's maybe a little bit surprised that it held

446
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: him out, But again, this is May. There's absolutely no

447
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: reason to risk anything in May. We know anything about

448
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard. It's Darius Leonard's available when it matters. That's

449
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: what you know about Darius Leonard. Like the fact he's

450
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: not doing seven on seven in helmets, no pads in

451
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: mid to late May means absolutely nothing. If he's not

452
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: playing in October. Yeah, now you got something to be

453
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: concerned about. No, I think it's just he's learned through

454
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: going through this process. Now, what a year and a

455
00:22:54,920 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: half Matt since that ankle first, he started giving him

456
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: injury in June, so obviously it was a problem before exactly.

457
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: So I mean you're yeah, you're talking about he knows

458
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: his body well enough to know when he can push

459
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: him when he should not, and with an injury like that,

460
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: you just need to give it the amount of time

461
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: or if he's trying some different things to get it

462
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: to the point where it feels either one hundred percent

463
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: or as Darnier close to one hundred percent as possible. Yeah,

464
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna allow a guy like that to do that

465
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: because you know he is going to give you everything

466
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: that he has within himself when he steps on the

467
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: field with a helmet on, when it's game time, when

468
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: the clock is going I agree. I think though from

469
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: a fan based standpoint, like when this gets reported last

470
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: Wednesday that Darius Leonard did not practice in an OTA setting,

471
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: and Frank Reich was a little bit surprised or didn't

472
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: know until the practice started that Darius wasn't going to participate.

473
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: I think fans get worked up a little bit. There're

474
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: still a little bit Colts fans that is a little

475
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: bit I don't know what the right word is, jaded,

476
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: or they stay that Andrew luck thing is still fresh right,

477
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: Andrew lux shoulder, Andrew lux calf, those things were supposed

478
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: to be fixed and they sort of lingered far longer

479
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: than we initially thought they would in terms of being

480
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: a problem. So the fact that Leonard is stealing with

481
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: some residual effects from the from the ankle from last season,

482
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: it does give you a little bit of it's we're

483
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: talking about it, right, it is. It is cause for conversation.

484
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: I guess you just hope that he's okay for his sake,

485
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: because he can be a different player when he's fully healthy.

486
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: And I guess when you go back and you look

487
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: at the season that he had last year, knowing that

488
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: he wasn't anywhere near to one hundred percent, and he

489
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: still had what fifteen takeaway plays last year. I mean

490
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: we should just stop and appreciate what he accomplished even more,

491
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: a guy that made the Pro Bowl was an All

492
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: Pro player and he wasn't even close to one hundred percent.

493
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: You just hope that for his sake, and yeah, restrictions

494
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: not his ankle. Star Just to refresh everyone last year

495
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: because this is remark like every time you read this

496
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: off here, like I can't believe this. He he did this.

497
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: Four picks, four pass breakups, eight forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries,

498
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty two tackles. He was an APL

499
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: Pro for the second consecutive year and third time in

500
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: four seasons in the NFL. I mean, yeah, I'm not

501
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm not really worried about this kind of like Laras said,

502
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna play when it matters. Yeah, you trust him

503
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: to do that. But like he said, maya, I get

504
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: I get some of the concern that kind of bubbled

505
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: up on social media last week. Well it's it's it's

506
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: one of those things. Last year was really really hard

507
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: on him, and he had to change the kind of

508
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: player that he was. He had to become more instinctual,

509
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: not that he wasn't before, but he had to rely

510
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: on that knowing that physically he couldn't do some of

511
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: the things same things he did in twenty eighteen and

512
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, and maybe that first half of twenty and twenty.

513
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: You just hope that he can come back and be

514
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: the full version of the maniac, which is you know,

515
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: catapulted him to one of the best players in the

516
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: NFL at his position. If you got an instinctual Darius Leonard,

517
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: a guy that's that has a higher IQ is going

518
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: to play with a little bit more savvyness, plus he's

519
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: fully healthy, then I think you have the total package.

520
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: Here's one thing I'm going to turn back to, and

521
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: I thought this was a really important point that we

522
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: didn't get to discuss enough on the podcast. But in

523
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: discussing what he went through last season from an injury perspective,

524
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: from a physical standpoint, Darius made some very powerful statements

525
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: about how much he struggled mentally and emotionally and he

526
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: fell out of love with football. It was just a

527
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: guy who is the most enthusiastic, most passionate human being,

528
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: a guy who you know you asked him. You ask

529
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: him every time, Darius, how are you blessed and highly favored?

530
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: Blessed and highly You know that's all the time. Like, So,

531
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: when you think about a guy like that who has

532
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: such an authentic love not only for football, but for

533
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: this team, for his teammates, for this organization, I think

534
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: that that's something that you do want to take pause

535
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: to evaluate that and allow him to work through all

536
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: of what he is handling and all of what he's

537
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: gone through. So I think that Darius being very intentional

538
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: about this offseason is yes, in part how he's approaching

539
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 1: the angle, but also just checking in on himself and

540
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: making sure that he's good in his entirety and that

541
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: he feels good about where he is and holly confident

542
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: about entering this season. So I think the fact that

543
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: he was very open, I think one was a really

544
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: important thing for people to hear the very real struggles

545
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: and we've heard it in multiple facets. He's talked about

546
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: the death of his brother and that told that that

547
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: took on him and just different things that he's gone through,

548
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: immense challenges and obstacles and adversity throughout the course of

549
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: his life. So for him to say that this was

550
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: a challenge he went through at the end of last season,

551
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: I think that it's worth revisiting that in that this

552
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: is just him approaching this offseason a little bit differently

553
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: to be sure that he goes into this upcoming season

554
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: with you know, being let being completely healthy mentally, physically, emotionally,

555
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: so that he does have that like just uninhibited love

556
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: of football and he has that enthusiasm every time that

557
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: he steps on the field. So I think that part

558
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: of this too is just Darius really looking out for Darius,

559
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what it should be doing right now.

560
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: Well put, Darius Leonard was one of seven Pro Bowlers

561
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: the Colts had in twenty twenty one. The NFL is

562
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: thinking about getting rid of the Pro Bowl in the

563
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: form that we know it to have been in over

564
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: the last I don't know, a couple decades. They're talking

565
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: about potentially replacing it with other events to honor all

566
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: star players and showcase their skills. The NFL is not

567
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: super happy with the quality of play, and I mean,

568
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: let's be honest, the quality of play and it is

569
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: not very good. You know, They're they're talking maybe about

570
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: a seven on seven passing competition. There are some ideas

571
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: that have been kind of floated out there, and everyone's

572
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: got their own idea, and I just kinda want to

573
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: spend a little time talking out, Hey, what would we

574
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: like to see in the Pro Bowl. But first of all,

575
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: would I need either of you guys be upset if

576
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl or eliminated? Have you gone to? Yeah?

577
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: So I've never I can't kind of you know, we

578
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,479
Speaker 1: send a crew from production to go and I end

579
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: up usually going to Senior Bowl. So I'm kind of

580
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: bummed that I never got to experience it. To me,

581
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl lost a little something when you moved

582
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: it from Hawaii. Like when the Pro Bowl was in Hawaii,

583
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: it seemed like it was a more highly anticipated type

584
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: of event, or it was more desirable for the players

585
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: to go, and part it was. I just feel like

586
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: it's lost a bit of luster since then. Yeah, so, well,

587
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why the NFL is so upset, to

588
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: be honest with you, the quality of play. It's unfair

589
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: to ask these guys to go full speed for a

590
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: game that doesn't count. And this is this is why

591
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: base To me, baseball is the best All Star Game,

592
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: of course, because baseball is the hardest sport to not

593
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: go close to. Like if you're a pitcher, you're not

594
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: going to have like you see position players doing, throwing

595
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: at forty miles an hour up there. Like if you're

596
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: going out to pitch, you're gonna go pitch right. If

597
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: you're up there to hit, you're gonna hit. And for

598
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: the most part, baseball, as we know as an individual sport,

599
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: the balls hit at you. You're at the play, you're

600
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: pitching right right, and there's less risk of injury from

601
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: just playing the sport right the way it's intended to

602
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: be played. Here here's what I would I would love

603
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: to see if you're if you're gonna do away with

604
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, I want to see basically a glorified

605
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: training camp practice. I want to see a bunch of

606
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: one on ones. I want to see one on one

607
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver dB drills. Give me, give me Jamar Chase

608
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: against Jalen Rams. Do you want clear cut winners like

609
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: you know in the Super Bowl? How in the player

610
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 1: where Joe Burrow got sacked or if had to throw

611
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: the ball way to end the game. Jamar Chase absolutely

612
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: roasted Jalen Ramsey. I want to see that five times.

613
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: I want to see those two guys go at it

614
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 1: five times because that'd be really competitive. It would be

615
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: really fun to see that something you can sell on TV. Yeah,

616
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: which is a big bigne and a VOLI like that

617
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: those guys would get. And you know what I would

618
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,520

621
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: can it be uh two or three days of an extravaganza.

622
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: I want to see. Oh, I think that we do

623
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: a couple of days and like one of the days,

624
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: I want it to be like all like college recreational

625
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: tailgate games like like cornhole battles here game on top

626
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, you do do a little beers d

627
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: you know. Uh, there's also the hillbilly golf. You get

628
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: that going some of those times. What I really wanted

629
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: someone Louisville Chugar, Yeah yeah, spin around right yeah yeah,

630
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,360

Speaker 1: Louisville Sugar. I ever heard it called that. That's fantastic, Yeah, yeah,

632
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's I thought that should be part

633
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: of it is that the finale about like how about

634
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: like a rib eating contest between the lineman, like O

635
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: line versus D line. You got, you got an then

636
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: put him back, grill off? All right? Yeah? Cool? Um,

637
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: you know some of the stuff they do in the

638
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: skills competition is already kind of fun. You got a

639
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: forty yard dash already, it's kind of head to head. Um.

640
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: You got those QB accuracy drills. You got the creative

641
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: catch drills. Those are fun to watch. I like watching

642
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: those seriously though, Like I want to see Aaron Donald

643
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: against Quittin Nelson, like in a one on one. Just

644
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: that type of stuff would be so much fun to watch,

645
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: and it'd be all over social media, so even if

646
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: you didn't see it, you'd still see it. Yeah, you know, well,

647
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: like what if we put a spin on him too,

648
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: like where you have like you blindfold the quarterback and

649
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: you have to him throw a certain targets, but see

650
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: how accurate he is, like if he can't or like

651
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: have one hand tied behind his back right like I

652
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know, like or make receivers catch

653
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: one handed? How about like you single hand catches all?

654
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 1: I don't know how about this? I thought I had

655
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: this idea, what about players versus fans? Yes, we always Larry.

656
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: You're at the you're at the lawn or JJ, You're

657
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: at the barbershop Rit Kroger, and people come up to

658
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: you and be like, man, I could have thrown a

659
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: better pass than that guy. Let's yeah, let's take the

660
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: most courageous and I here quarterbacks go and nonsensical fans

661
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: that think they're they're you know, this is like nineteen

662
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: eighty four playing right field for the Beach Grove Hornets.

663
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: Let's say the skills competition. Let's see what the trolls

664
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: against Jim is like, Yeah, how did you not break

665
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: off that run? One of our former coach take the

666
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: Donnie Bakers of the world. One of our former in

667
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: the Colts content team. His name is Nick Merlina. Great guy.

668
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: Love love this guy to death. He I have never

669
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: seen Bill Brooks so passionate about something. Then when Nick

670
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: said he could complete three passes in an NFL game

671
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: if given a hundred tries and bills, like absolutely not, no,

672
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: not a h I want to see that, Like, hey,

673
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: can you can you regular old fan? Can you go

674
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: complete a pass in an NFL game, but by the way,

675
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: you're facing a line of Pro bowlers and a prol

676
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: and a a bunch of Pro bowlers in the secondary.

677
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: I do you know how much fun I like Jalen

678
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: Ramsey would have picking off just some random dude on Twitter.

679
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: He's probably, you know, watching the NBA Playoffs, Like the

680
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: guy and the guys in the first three rows, they

681
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: are talking junk the whole time. I want to see

682
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: them line up five on five versus some of these

683
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: NBA players. I feel like we're getting closer to that

684
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,479
Speaker 1: with like the VR stuff like that's probably we're probably

685
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: getting close to like being able to replicate. Take a

686
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: charge from Jalen Brown, see how you feel it. I

687
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: just you know, my my neighbor down the street. Guy

688
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: love him. He's a fantastic guy. But every time he

689
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: sees me, he knows who I am and what I do.

690
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: He said, I can't believe these guys get paid this

691
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 1: much money. I want him to be out there and

692
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: and take in one minute of the competition and then

693
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 1: come to the realization that these are the best guys

694
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: in the entire universe playing this game for our entertainment.

695
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: Thus they earn their money based on how talented they are.

696
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: The other thing I want, you know, someone to realize

697
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: is like, all right, you think you can go on

698
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: and do this, all right, go through the workout, regiment,

699
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: training that these guys have to do, the training. Oh

700
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: you got hurt. You have to go through the rehab process,

701
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: which no one seems to understand how grueling that is. Right,

702
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: go through all of that, and like it's not just

703
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: the time on field right now, Like I mean, these

704
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: guys are coming in, they're lifting before, they're doing rehab stuff,

705
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 1: after doing conditioning things. I mean, it's like a full

706
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: lot of meetings, full day, Yeah, meetings, you get in

707
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: there absolutely all right, Well, I think we've solved the

708
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl here. Wait, can't wait for next year. Just

709
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: give us the job we've got. If you're listening, Yeah,

710
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: we got some ideas. All right, let's go to the

711
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: twittermail bag. Here's the mail it never fills and mixed

00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: It is from Willie made Us. And since we're talking

00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: time as being a new twin dad a place I

721
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,479
Speaker 1: have been and you have some thoughts go through your head. Nope,

722
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: that's not a thing. When you're up with them and

723
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: you're trying to get him both down, you're kind of

724
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: sitting around like, huh, I wonder about this. Here's this

725
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: question fresh off the Indy five hundred weekend. If you

726
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: had to assemble a pit crew from the current Colts roster,

727
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: who you got? Wow? So I thought about this a

728
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: lot because I went to the five hundred I did

729
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: last weekend. Because I didn't know how many crew i'm

730
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: I was, I went on the tape. I took this

731
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: great video of Felix Rosenquist and Potto Award getting They

732
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: went into the pits at the same time, right in

733
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: front of me where my seats were, and I took

734
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: this video. It's so cool. They get in at the

735
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: same time, all the moves are synchronized, they get out

736
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: at the same time, like eight seconds later. It was

737
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: really cool. So I went and looked at that and

738
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, what jobs from these pit

739
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: crew guys would be good? So I got three three

740
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: three positions. I want someone on. The toughest job to

741
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: me seemed to be the guy who changes the back

742
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: right tire, because that guy's gotta be quick coming off

743
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: the Yeah, he's got to be quick coming off the line.

744
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 1: He's got to get down, get the tire off, grab

745
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: the new tire, put it back on. So you gotta

746
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: be quick. You gotta be detailed going out of the background.

747
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: That's great, right, I want Kenny Moore the second doing

748
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: this obviously he already knows Indy Car. Yeah, but quick detailed.

749
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore the second right there. That's why I want

750
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: to and it's to find Gilmore would be another good shot.

751
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: Here guy again, another's another technician. So this is what

752
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't even notice this until I

753
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: went back and I watched it. But there's a guy

754
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: who like changes the windscreen. It looks like he's like

755
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: reaching over the car and like peeling off. Someone looks

756
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: like plastic. I don't know a ton about Indy Car

757
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: so someone can tweet at me that I'm totally wrong

758
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: about this, but it looks like that guy needs like

759
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: really long arms and as really good bend. Give me

760
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: Gilani Woods. What is this a scouting? It is it is?

761
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: Give me Gilanni Woods to change the windscreen. I had

762
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: a chance to walk Gilanni around during the content shoot

763
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: that we did last week. First of all, he's like,

764
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: I like my neck hurt. I was just like, you know, hey,

00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: what's up looking up at him. But he's got like

766
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: thirty four and a half inch arms, this huge wingspan.

767
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: He could just stand over the car, rip that thing off,

768
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: put it back on, be very efficient. You're off, and

769
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: then the fuel guy you gotta be accurate. That's Matt Ryan.

770
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: Oh give me Kenny Moore, Gilani Woods and Matt Ryan

775
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: like Yllen Carve Day, but it was always like a Sunday.

776
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: No one trusts me to do that. Let's be honest.

777
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure that happened, but yeah, no, one's putting me

778
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: out there in front of like heavy tools. Remember what

779
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: I said. My husband just tells me to get out

780
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: of the house when the demo's happening. I provide. I provide.

781
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: That was fun to work the little hammer. I don't

782
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: see there. Here's my IndyCar novice coming through the tour.

783
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: The device that takes off on and off the wheel.

784
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so that was my job. So I have

785
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: I've got expertise doing that. You oh, you got some

786
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: old lug nut mileage under your belt, do you see there?

787
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: You go? That's perfect. I'm going I'm gonna the big

788
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: sturdy guy, the big sturdy guy on gas. That's Ryan Kelly. Okay, okay,

789
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna fuel me up. He's gonna pour like thirty

790
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: five gallons in and then twelve seconds and then I'm

791
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: just going fast. Guys on top. This is how I

792
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: was going fast. Guys on tires. So see, I got

793
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: mine written down. Jonathan Taylor's on the back right, okay,

794
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: Ashton dueling, yes, Naimi yes, Pears Campbell oh, I went

795
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 1: with Pitt went yes, okay. And then on aerodynamics, like

796
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: making sure the wind aerodynamics match up with the wing

797
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: and the down force and what's what's they what do

798
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: they call that? The front of the car, the nose

799
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: on that I need a really smart guy that went

800
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: to Stanford. That's Bobby o'carricke. Nice okay, um okay. So

801
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't quite sure because so JJ broke it down.

802
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: Four guys to change tires, one guy to change the windscreen,

803
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: one guy for fuel. So I was I could be

804
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: totally wrong. I don't know, but right, So based on

805
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 1: this description though, I'm like, windscreen, that means that guy's

806
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: blocking up front, So I'm putting Quinton Nelson right there.

807
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: And then for a fuel. There's no science behind this,

808
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: but I'm like, if there's a guy who's giving the

809
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: fuel to the team bringing the juice, it's Darius Leonard,

810
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: the ultimate hype man. Think right, you know, I don't

811
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: know this. It's good. We all had we all had

812
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: very different answers. I love it. Yeah, except the tires.

813
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, that just just one difference right there. So

814
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: we were in sync on that, like, great, great question,

815
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 1: Willie Hay Boys. Yeah, it'll get better. I promise. If

816
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: it's difficult right now, it'll get better. We've already outfitted

817
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: them with some cult stuff. They're rocking at home. They're

818
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: colds Teddy Bears and whatnot. So yeah, yeah, welcome Gus

819
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: and Jimmy. We got mate's random thought of the week

Speaker 1: guys going out of town do if it's cold there?

824
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: If these vans get good cash? Marlin shot shot shot up. Well,

825
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: I'm sure most of our podcast listening audience grilled out

826
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: over the weekend a Memorial Day weekend. Yeah, fired up

827
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: the grill or the smoker. I'm sure a lot of

828
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: people had their hot dogs on Memorial Day weekend. Memorial

829
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: Day weekend probably not known so much more for hot

830
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: dogs as the fourth July. But maybe a runner up,

831
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 1: maybe a second place. You guys put guys put catchup

832
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: on your hot dogs? Absolutely can? Can I curse? Sure?

833
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: Let's go? Can you bleep this out? Yeah? Absolutely not passionate?

834
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: Are we catch up? Catch up ruins a hot dog?

835
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: It just ruins a hot dog? So what do you

836
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: put on your hot would differ? But mustard that relish

837
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: as a starter, and I'm not, like, Yes, I'm from Chicago,

838
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: so I could go the full Chicago dog. You know,

839
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: get your sport peppers, get your tomato, get your pickle,

840
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: get your celery salt, all those things on. You're putting tomatoes,

841
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: but no ketchup. Totally different things. This seems contradict totally

842
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: different things. I know, on a regular old hot dog

843
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: they grab to throw the challenge flag old hot dog

844
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: mustard relish. I don't eat hot dogs. See I can

845
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: see that about you. Yeah, I can see that about you. Right, Yeah,

846
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: I know. I'm a very difficult person. I have very

847
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: very rigid likes and dislikes. And no, I haven't had

848
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 1: a hot dog in like twenty years. Yeah wow yeah,

849
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: well this all this a hot dog on a camping

850
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: trip and I could never have one ever. This all

851
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: spawned because my five year old likes ketchup. I haven't

852
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: had ketchup on a hot dog, saying probably in twenty years. Um.

853
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: But according to research the National hot Dog and Sausage Council,

854
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: well there's a council. There's there are people that that

855
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: meet that get together. They meet and they're encased when

856
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: they meet in a room sets yes, yeah, it's probably

857
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: in a refrigerated area. Um. This council recently came out

858
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: in disapproval is abe froman They came out and well

859
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: I should sue you too. They came out in disapproval

860
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: of adults using ketchup on hot dogs and a guide

861
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: to hot dog etiquette. The organization decreed that for those

862
00:43:54,680 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: eighteen years of age and older, acceptable toppings include muster yep,

863
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: relish yep, onions yep, cheese yep, and chili chili dog. Okay,

864
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: yeah right so skyline chili. Uh so, there you go

865
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: behind the tasty freeze. I forgot onions one. But you

866
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: should never best John Mellencamp. I guess according to the

867
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, say that five times fast,

868
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: you should never put ketch up on a hot dog

869
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: if you're if you're an adult, I'm gonna say, if

870
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 1: you're eating a hot dog, you just have no standard,

871
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: So just go ahead and depends on That is the

872
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: snootiest comment I've ever heard. Give me four hot dogs

873
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: right now. It's it's just filler. It's filler meat and

874
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: it's in there. That's fine. It still tastes good someone's. Also,

875
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: according to another council, steak should never be ordered more

876
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: than medium rare. Wow. I don't know if you guys

877
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: are passionate about that rabbit hole I would have did

878
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 1: did you find? Also French fries should never be dipped

879
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: in mayonnaise. This includes aoli. Oh wow, I disagree. Why

880
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,760
Speaker 1: there you go? Never put never put ice and wine

881
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: according to this this council, no cheese on seafood, which

882
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't know why that's a thing. Don't eat a

883
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: burger or a pizza with a knife and a fork,

884
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: which sometimes pizza it's piping hot. Or if you do

885
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: like the Chicago style pizza, the deep dish, then you

886
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: do need a fork. I do a lot of fork

887
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: and knife on my pizza. I do that a lot.

888
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: That's just because I'm really messy, Like it's it's it's

889
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: just a natural disaster that prevents you from getting another shirt. Yeah, exactly,

890
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: I can see that about you. Good to know Lara's

891
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: ride in the line. With all of our food predictions

892
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: we got, there's nothing the price we need to We

893
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: need to talk about this too. To close out the

894
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,919
Speaker 1: podcast last week, Lara, you tweeted something that, oh yeah,

895
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: you're thinking, Lara. You tweeted with the announcement of the

896
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: NFL combine returning to Indie, what other major sporting event

897
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: or a case Asian would you most like to see

898
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: hosted in Indianapolis. You've got some good response. I did

899
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: get some really good respond I don't have yes. I

900
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I don't have a cool name for

901
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: my segment like Matey does. I don't remeteresting thought. I

902
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: gotta get Lara jingle. Uh so yes dogs a lot

903
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: of people, I'd say that the two overwhelming responses, not surprisingly,

904
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: both NFL were related. A lot of people said they

905
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: would love to see the NFL Draft come to Indianapolis.

906
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: I would have to agree. I think that's perfect if

907
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: it would be a great time of year for Indianapolis

908
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: to host it too. You could get Georgia Street fired

909
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: up again like you did over Super Bowl a few

910
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 1: years ago. So and in you know, you've seen Midwestern

911
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: and cities of similar size to Indie, places like Cleveland

912
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: and National Soon not that Nashville's Midwest, but still a

913
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: similar sized city, very comparable type of market. I think

914
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: NFL Draft would be a great win, and then a

915
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: lot of people said, there is no reason Indianapolis has

916
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: not hosted another Super Bowl sooner to the last one

917
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: that they hosted than they have now. So a lot

918
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: of people kind of clamoring for that. Um. A few

919
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: people too, like bringing up things like that they would

920
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: love to see and set up play basketball tournament back

921
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: here because Indie absolutely knocked it out of the park

922
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: when they were you know, kind of forced to do

923
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: it because of COVID. Imagine all those venues with fans

924
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. So some ideas like that I thought was

925
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: really fun. But I really appreciate all the engagement that

926
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 1: tweet got. Got a lot of responses that we're all

927
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: really great. Had to get through, um the majority of

928
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: them that I could, but those were really fun thoughts

929
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: on that. I had. Two. Um, I have this thought

930
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: that Major League Baseball last year they had a game

931
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: that they held at the Field of Dreams. Yeah, it

932
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: was great, It was awesome. One of the it was

933
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: probably my favorite baseball game from last year because Tim

934
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: Anderson off home run awesome. Yeah. Well, and Rayleiota just

935
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: passed away Star of Field of Dreams, so rip, but

936
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: I loved the different setting for a baseball game. It

937
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: was different. You're in a corn field. It was cool.

938
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: Victory Fields an awesome setting. Oh yeah, like, let's let's

939
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: bring the Reds and the Cubs together to play at

940
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: Victory Field or something like. This was probably five or

941
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: six years ago now, but the Reds and the Pirates

942
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: actually played an exhibition game. It was the last game

943
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: of spring training before those two teams played each other

944
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: on Opening Day in Cincinnati. They played each other at

945
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: Victory Field. That's really cool. It's cool. Yeah, this was

946
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 1: probably twenty seventeen, I want to say twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen. Um.

947
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: It was right around the Final four time, right at

948
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 1: the end of March early April, right before opening Day.

949
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: Those two teams were playing each other the following day

950
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. So they decided, because Pittsburgh is the affiliate

951
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: of the excuse me, the Indians or the affiliate of

952
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: the the Pirates, they would play a game in close

953
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: proximity to Cincinnati, and they played at Victory Field. I went.

954
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: It was like, uh, twenty four degrees. The win was

955
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: like sixty miles an hour. We bought tickets way in

956
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: advance and we left like in the third inning because

957
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: it was so cool. Oh no, but a lot of

958
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 1: guys played. Did you do while you were there? You

959
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: bet your Buttom, you bet you. There was no ketchup.

960
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,959
Speaker 1: There was ketchup available, though. When those eighteen year olds

961
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: that put ketchup were escorted out, according to the council,

962
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: they got they got people everywhere from I got reps

963
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,240
Speaker 1: at all Major League Baseball parks. Um. So they're also

964
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 1: these like preseason soccer tournaments that happened between like big

965
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: European clubs. A couple of years ago, Brusia Dortman played

966
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: Liverpool at Notre Dame Stadium. There was one in at

967
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil a couple of years ago. I went, I

968
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 1: don't know who played, but I went to bring that back,

969
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 1: bring that back here so I can go to I

970
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,080
