(00:11):
All right, it's five thirty six. This is ninety seven one the freak.
You're listening to the speakeasy here.We appreciate you being by the channel
today to the extent that you havebeen. We hope that that's a very
very large extent. If you likewhat we're doing here, send us a
talk back and tell us tell us, tell us, yeah, we need
(00:39):
to know these things. We needto know you're with us. I guess
let's just go. Let you see, I lost my train of thought there.
But there's one thing I do knowthat is this day is just about
(01:00):
done. It's about time to tearit on down. But before you do,
you know you're gonna need to stopout of your place. It's been
a tough day. A lot ofunpleasant conversations were had on this day.
You heard some things about the directionof stuff that rubs you the wrong way
(01:25):
a little bit, cause you tofreak out a little bit, made you
wonder, man, am I inthe right place here or not? Those
are the days where you need yourplace. This has been one. So
let's get going. Because it's yourkind of place. It's a place where
they know you, you know them. It's a place where you can take
(01:49):
the edge off. It's a placewhere the lights are dim, the music
swings, but it's never too loud. They got Louke Covid and the Cobras
in there once again tonight, andthey don't even have to tell them to
make it a double. It's aplace where the skirts are tight and the
(02:10):
necklines plunge. Now you may thinkthat there ain't no places like that,
there is. It's the Sunset Lounge. Go on, step inside the green
door, cop a squat at thebar and get in the groove at the
(02:31):
Sunset Lounge with the speakeasy on ninetyseven one the freek they got a cop
squat, Yeah, cop a squat, Coppa squat, have a sea.
Okay, it just makes me thinkof other stuff. Well that's you.
(02:55):
Did you guys know that the reporterwho did the stuff with Kaitlyn Clark had
apparently a second creepy moment. Ohreally, Gregor's Greg Doyle, Greg Doyle
who heart handed Caitlin and said,as long as you give me heart hands
will get along just fine. Soweird. He wrote a weird apology article
(03:15):
too in The Indie Star, butapparently in a different moment, He referred
to Caitlin as that what he wastalking to the coach and he said,
(03:36):
you just got the keys to that. What are you going to do with
it? Oh? God? Yeah. He needs to probably be pulled off
that beat. It's weird because he'sconsidered like a really respected journalist, but
cover a woman. I think hehas because, like I saw or Jamille
(03:57):
Hill said, this was a terriblemoment for Greg Oil, a journalist I've
known practically since I first started reportingprofessionally. Obviously something that never would have
been said to a male athlete.I said this some time ago. But
another upside of Kaitlin Clark's popularity isthat it's going to finally force the sports
media to grow up. Sports mediahas been extremely complicit and marginalizing and infinitizing
(04:19):
women's sports. A lot of thecommentary and coverage is now coming from people
who have little experience covering female athletes. Not sure Doyle fits that category,
which is probably frustrating to the peoplewho have been covering them for years and
(04:41):
find his moment for sure, andhe clearly isn't real sure what he did
wrong, because even in his apology, even a whole article in the Indie
Star. That was an apology,but he never really said where he messed
up. Really, what did hewrite all about? Then? In the
article, he talked about how Iwas trying to welcome her, and this
(05:04):
is the way I talk to people, like you know, he says,
I've been I've sort of known.I'm sort of known locally for having awkward
conversations with people before asking Brashley conversationalquestions. I've done it for years with
Colts coaches Chuck Bagano, Frank Reich, Shane Steich, and I've done it
with Purdue players Carson Edwards and ZachEdy, Indiana's Romeo Langford, talking to
(05:29):
them as people not athletes. I'msort of known for. Now that you
can say that, that just soundsI'm sort of known for, he did
put I'm sort of known for cyfor having awkward conversations. So he's trying
to be self effacing. Yeah,uh, he said. What I've learned
(05:50):
is I need to be more awareabout how I talk to people, not
just athletes. I realized that onlyafter my exchange with Clark went viral and
I navigated the first two stages ofgrief during a discussion with the people care
about. Most denial, I didn'tdo anything wrong. I gave Caitlyn her
signature heart shaped hand gesture as away of introducing myself and welcoming her to
town. I did this during anationally televised press conference. What kind of
(06:11):
idiot X creepy on national television?And then in PARENTHESI put me ah anger.
This is how I talked to everyone. Had that been the male equivalent
arriving to energize team in town?Since I've been here, the closest thing
Indianapolis has had is Colts quarterback AnthonyRichardson. I'd have shown him the heart
gesture and reiterated I like that you'rehere. No, you wouldn't. This
(06:35):
is where I was convinced I washarmless and right when a woman I deeply
respect told me, but Caitlin Clarkis a young woman, and you don't
talk to a young woman the sameas you would a young man. You
also wouldn't have made hearthands emojis andsaid or hearthand thingies and then said,
as long as you do that tome, will you get along? Fine?
(06:56):
You would not. Now you're lying. You tried to treat like she
was your four year old daughter,Yes, he said, and my heart
dropped because now I saw it.After years of being so sure I was
on the right side of these arguments, I was now on the wrong side.
And for the oldest reason known toman and woman, ignorance. You
can say that's absurd that I shouldhave known better, and I do,
But here we are. I wasjust doing what I do, talking to
(07:18):
another athlete, another person, anddidn't see the line, didn't even know
there was a line in the vicinityuntil I crossed it in my haste to
be clever, to be familiar andwelcoming, or so I thought, I
offended Caitlyn and her family. Aftergoing through denialand and anger, I'm on
the wrong side of this me,I now realize about this. Yeah,
and now realize what I said andhow I said it was wrong, wrong,
(07:40):
wrong, I mean, it wasjust wrong. Caitlin Clark, I'm
so sorry. But nowhere in theredoes he say like what he did wrong
or what he could have done differently, just how he didn't realize what he
did with Maybe maybe he still doesn'tknow, maybe he's still not sure.
He just knows he did something wrong. So okay, I'll apologize for everything.
(08:01):
This all goes that'll make it goaway. This goes back to my
Holly Row must be stopped angle,okay, which is not totally my intellectual
property, but I agree with it. But then I reverse stance on a
little bit. After the Angel Reesething, when women's sports started getting super
popular, they put Holly Row onthe scene at all times, and every
(08:24):
player she talks to, it's she'skind of hyping them up, like she's
their hype man, Like this ishow we're going to cover it because we
want to prop this sport up.Tell us how you did it, Queen?
That was amazing? Oh my god, did she say Queen and say
that. She's just very, verypositive and supportive. And it's it's less
(08:45):
like you post about that stuff alot too on social media, like it's
not so much. I don't.I guess it is journalism, but a
picture journalism is like question and answer, not yay, I'm cheerleader. Right.
So then now you have the malereporter who it's like, look,
women's basketball is on the rise.We're all so happy about it because this
(09:07):
is something we want to see happening. Oh my god, they don't make
enough it's so great, but youview it as like this cutesy little thing,
and so he treated somebody who isnow a professional athlete like his cutesy
little daughter as opposed to, Hello, professional athlete. It's heart hands.
Hey girl, look what you're doingfor everyone. It's incredible. No talk
to her like an f an adult, bro. It's interesting. He said.
(09:31):
He knows he offended Caitlyn Clark andher family, Like did they speak
out about it? I mean,obviously Caitlyn was probably asked at some point
about it, but yeah, andher family, Okay, what's he supposed
to do? Then? What wouldbe the best way to handle it?
Greg Doyle, Star Telegram or whatever, here's my question, just straight up.
(09:54):
Yeah, just like introduce yourself andthen ask your question. Like he
did this to her heart hands toher before he said anything, because he
saw her do that to her family. Yeah, and I think I'm glad
you're here. Is fine, Likeit's like, it's great to have you
in town. We love that thisis like this is really big for this
city. But even the tone thathe said I love that you're here,
(10:20):
it was like, yeah, play, yeah, let's play it. I
love that you're here. Just theway he says it. It's like he's
talking to his daughter. Hey,Caitlin, Greg Doyle and the Star,
real quick, how let me dothis? Like you like that? I
like that you're here. I likethat you're here. I do that in
my family after every game. Sookay, well we'll start doing it to
me and we'll get along just fine. So question, so the last part
(10:45):
I think is just obviously it's inappropriatethe words that he said, but that
was his awkward dismount segue laugh toget to the question. So, like,
I get it. Kind of hewas trying to fill the space with
words right there, right the wordsthat came out, it's just really weird.
I make sure you do that forme too, anyway. Yeah,
he's just trying to get where he'sgoing the way. I like that you're
(11:05):
here. Yeah, that was wethat you're here. I like that you're
here. Okay, why do youwant to wear my skin as a blanket?
I don't understand. Yeah, wellwhatever, so sort of apologized.
Onward we go. Another arena,by the way sent out. I forgot
(11:26):
which city it is. I'm sorryI don't have it in front of me.
But there's another one. That seatslike four thousand. That's a WNBA
arena that sent out like we hearyou. When we host the Fever,
we'll play here, and they're gonnabe somewhere where they can have twenty thousand
people. Okay, So yeah,Caitlin Clark's got twenty million dollars Nike deal.
(11:46):
When she plays in your arena,you get five times the crowd and
people are gonna pay more money.When she plays in your arena, you
get a bigger arena. Yep,WNBA, you got a shot at this
thing. Yeah, don't fumble it. That's pretty cool, pretty cool.
Speaking of arenas and stuff, Igot something because this is big news in
(12:07):
the NHL world that came down today. There had been some rumors and murmurs
about possibly a new team joining theleague because the Arizona Coyotes have been struggling
for a long time. They haven'thad a proper place to play in a
couple of seasons. Remember the wholemult arena thing. They were playing like
(12:28):
on a college campus. So whenthe Stars would go play the Coyotes,
they would play in a small gymnasium. Yes, and the owners hadn't been
able to figure out their arena situation, and I think the league was kind
of trying to give them as muchtime as they could to figure things out,
and they ran out of time.So the Arizona Coyotes as of today
(12:50):
officially headed to Salt Lake City.Official, it's official. The NHL Border
governors voted this morning unanimously to approvethis sale. It's a one point two
billion dollars sale and it is gettingsold. Yeah, the team is getting
sold to the owners of the UtahJazz, Ryan and Ashley Smith, So
(13:13):
they are getting themselves an NHL teams. I could see Utah like in hockey,
yeah, I mean it's cool.There's snow. They got snow,
not much else to do. Yeah, they got no football, they got
no baseball. M h. Icould see them hockeying in Utah. Yeah
(13:33):
I can't. They're all about theirJazz, right, which is a terrible
team name for a name in Utah. But yeah, that doesn't how come
they never changed their team to makemuch sense. I think all the other
teams will eventually change when they realizeit doesn't make any sense. Yeah,
Utah just kept jazz like yep,we really are known for it and easier
to just keep it, I guess, yeah, and especially now you know
(13:58):
now it's been that way for solong, and once stocked In the Malone
hit the finals a few times,I was like, hey, we're established
here. Yeah, I mean allthe eye rolling and hand ringing over it
pretty much went away years and yearsago, back at the end of the
Stockton Malone era. So just keepit cheaper to keeper. It's weird,
(14:20):
yeah, like if we're the ifthe Cowboys were the Dallas snow Bunnies or
something. Yeah, you're not knownfor these things, no, but it'd
be kind of like funny just becauseit's so wrong, because it's so backwards.
So anytime I want to hear liveJazz, I make my way over
to Utah. Yeah, that's theJazz Capital Men. So they are trying
(14:41):
to name this new team. They'renot going to be the Coyotes, and
apparently the Coyotes there's still a chance, if they can build an arena within
the next five years, that theNHL will give them a team again and
it will be like an expansion team. Okay, like, uh, let
me try to remember how this wentwith the Browns. The Browns left went
(15:01):
to Baltimore, and then the Brownsshowed up. Yeah, a new team
showed up and they took the oldname. Yeah, so the Utah team,
though, some people have been tryingto dig to figure out what they're
going to be called. Speaking ofteam names, and apparently somebody dug up
(15:22):
the US Patent and trademark trademarks thathad been filed with the US Patent and
Trademark Office, And this is whatwe have discovered, which I guess are
all potential options at this point.Tell me what y'all's favorite is? Utah
Blizzard. Nope, although at leastthat one makes sense. I'm not opposed
(15:46):
to that, but let's see ifthey got a better one in there.
Utah Venom, No, stupid,That one is stupid. Hey, what
I like it either? Yes,I'm just real negative. Just venom like
it doesn't any sense. Look whenit comes to this, I'm really knee
jerk. We could put a snakeon there, Yeah, but we don't
(16:07):
need snakes. Utah Fury. SuddenlyBlizzard sounded better. Yeah. Yeah,
No, I don't think it's Fury. I don't think that's it. No,
Utah h C Hockey Club. Thenext option is Utah Hockey clubs.
They're trying to decide Utah Hockey Clubor Utah HC because that's a soccer thing.
(16:33):
Yeah FC, and I like thatsort of thing. Yeah, I
wouldn't be opposed to the Washington footballteam, Yeah I did. I did.
I think Washington Football team giving thatup was the dumbest thing ever.
But it's great marketing. We're thefootball team. Yeah, you think of
our sport. Guess what us footballteam. I think a lot of people
(16:53):
felt that way, and a lotof people liked that. So maybe this
is Utah Hockey Club kind of tryingto piggy back on that and see if
it works. I think that's horrible. Of those two, I think I
would go HC because hockey club,I don't know, it just sounds kind
of minor league. Yeah, butyeah, we're just a hockey club,
even though in soccer like you aref C and it does mean football club.
(17:14):
Still it sounds that way in Americato me, like it's like a
junior league. So he just goHC. But what did the announcers say
then? When they don't want tocall him the whole thing, or they
don't want to call him Utah,they just say the HC. They say
HC. Yeah, they're going toplay HC. When you got to figure
out a mascot, right, sticka hockey stick? Yeah, I think
(17:38):
the Blizzard, although that's similar tothe Colorado Avalanche, you know, same
idea, same thing, different words. I don't know. They might need
to go back to the drawing board. College only has like three mascots total.
Everyone's a tiger or a wildcat,that's true, but tigers go hard,
(18:00):
Missouri being the best tiger obviously,yeah. Yeah, Happling Christian being
the best wildcat. Yeah. Arewe ready for the two men in drill
or headed that with all the teamnames? Yeah, that's what we got
right now. Those are the Iguess I'm casting my vote for HC with
Blizzard and Second Yeah, same here. Oh, I like HC and Blizzard.
(18:22):
Second we named it. We namedthe team. Unless this thing's not
over yet and somebody comes up withsomething else. Yeah, could be the
Uta you taw Ultra. I likealliteration. I'm trying to fight a you.
Yeah, the umbrellas and they couldplay Rihanna as their skate onto the
(18:42):
ice song. Somebody said the SaltLake Storm and Mormons. What's the pearl
for Uterus. You tor, yeah, do you tell you to ride?
I think we got it. Twoand four seven eight seven seven one is
the phone numbers of our radio jewels. Are you offended by that? No,
