Speaker 1 (00:03):
Well, the Colts kick off the season tonight and somehow
Anthony Richardson's already been picked off and in his Colts attire,
Mister Indianapolis, one half of the hammer In Nigel Radio program,
Jason Hammer.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hello, quick public service announcement for your audience. Yeah, something
I encountered on my drive in the exit ramps, the
on ramps for seventy near the airport closed for the
arrival of JD. Van.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
It's super cool that they've inconvenienced in entire cities so
that they can further rig the elections.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
It's very nice of him.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
He was actually asked about that moments ago. Kevin, do
you have that audio? Yeah, here's JD. Vance in the
state House. Beck Becam, it's walking down a.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Hall right now. Oh that's spelling radio.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Well, here comes.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Washington Indiana Registrict. What are you go tell the governor
of mister West President And no answer? Go away. Feels
like I just listened to Abdual show on the weekend.
There I'm editing at audio where you don't know what's
going to happen.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Okay, So nothing says transparency like running behind some closed
doors to talk about how you're going to make it
more rigged a vote in the state of Indiana. That's
just brilliant.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But at the same time, like, yes, I would have
answered it, but I'm pompous and I'm over the top,
Like if he stopped to answer every single person that
yelled a question out at him.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Sure, but it's the fact that they're going behind some
tarped allegedly some tarped off areas. Like, if you're going
to talk about how you're going to affect seven million people,
have the conversation out in front of everybody, don't go
behind some closed door and come up with your new
goofy little map to rig it in favor of your
political party, because y'all can't win elections based on governing competently.
Tell us how you're going to screw us out in public.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
So you're saying that you had a difficult time getting
into work today.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Because of that. So seventy over by Sam Jones, the
artist formerly known as Airport Expressway shut down, Like you
couldn't even get it right. So all right, fine, So
I go down a little bit further because I'm Southwest
side and I hit Washington Street. It's like, okay, I'll
take Washington Street in you get to a point to
Washington Street where road closed a head due to construction. Well,
(02:13):
son of it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So now I got a backtrack. Come all the way back,
pass all the exits that I'm not allowed to get on,
and find an alternative way downtown. Cases. Yeah, it's really
easy to get downtown right now.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Remember when living used to be easy?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I made This construction right now is so ridiculous. I've
lived in Indye my whole life. I'm a lifer here.
I've never seen so many places under construction at once
where there's no hope of it getting done anytime soon.
Like Illinois Street is totally shut down because of government
funded hotel. But at least they're working on that. That
(02:49):
thing's going up like a rocket ship. Look at the
monument out here. Well you can't rob because you refuse
to put the window up. But oh I put the
American flag up.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
What a horrible person that I hang our nation's colors down?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Me not why you do it? You want the perfect
lighting on your face because you want all the attentions. Actually,
Carl does it all.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Carl's really in charge of all of that. And well
we'd be worse off without Carl anyway, go ahead, Sorry, but.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
This damn thing's been under construction for like three years. Yes,
there's nobody ever working. It's like a running joke we
have in the afternoon. We get here at three o'clock.
Look out the window. It's a beautiful, partly cloudy, seventy
nine degree day, and there's nobody out there working. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Somebody told me this years ago in a government meeting
about traffic. They said, the goal of anything you're doing,
as it relates, whether it's speed limit signs or signs
of businesses or whatever, is to keep the traffic moving
because as long as you're moving, even if it's at
five miles an hour, there's always hope. As a motorist,
you see road rage when there's no hope of movement.
(03:50):
And they have created a level of despair and hopelessness
in downtown to Indianapolis, the likes I have never seen before.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Well, look who the mayor is, right, and you've said
this before, Rob, The job of a mayor and theory
is pretty simple, right. You keep your roads and your
infrastructure taken care of. You make sure the trash gets
picked up on a timely basis, and no scandals, no embarrassment.
We're oh for three on the boss Hawk set there
because the trash in my neighborhood, we're lucky if it
(04:15):
gets picked up on a Friday.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
The four things that a mayor is supposed to be
responsible for. Everything else is just shenanigans. You judge your
mayor based on these these four things. You can throw
in the scandals as the fifth food. You got the roads,
how the road's doing now? Greatful?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You got?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
You got the snow, the snow removal, the not good?
You got the public safety. You're feeling safe downtown these days?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Record homicides under Joe Hawks?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And then and then the trash. And I can't speak
to the trash, but you have experience with the trash.
How is the trash not as good as the crime? Oh?
So there you go. It's azero for four. What do
they call that the golden sombrero? And a major league
baseball player goes oh for four with four strikeouts, It's
called the golden sombrero. Joe Hawks, that is the golden
sombrero of mayor's Now you.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Had mentioned Washington Street, and that's the street I would
typically take to get from my house to the radio station.
Many detours under construction.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Okay, so I.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Got to go a different route and take Michigan Now
to get into work, and of course everybody is taking
the detour, so there's a huge backup. Yesterday on my
Windo work, I landed right on the train tracks and
I sat there and I looked both ways.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
This is not good. This is not good. I'm gonna
be somebody show prepped here. I really hope these kind
of start moving. I've always said when my time comes,
what it is time for me to meet my maker.
I hope it's such a wacky, crazy death that i'm
somebody's show prep. I want to pay it forward for
all the years that I've had ridiculous stories given to me.
(05:49):
I want to be somebody's ridiculous street. Would you do
it naked? So at least you can due to the news.
That's me.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Okay, So you got your cold shirt on the Colts
kick off the preseason tonight.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Are you excited about the Colts?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Give me an honest assessment of the team this year?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Not good. I placed a future bet that the Colts
would finish third in the division. I got plus money
on that plus two point fifty for them to finish
in third place.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
So they got to beat one of the teams but
lose to two others.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Right, so I feel like the Texans will be one Yep.
The Jags, if healthy, are two wow, followed by the
Colts and then the Titans with a rookie quarterback. So
if the Colts finish in third place in the AFC South,
as a Colts fan, not gonna like it, but as
a gambling degenerate, I'm gonna make some money.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
So you got no faith obviously in Richardson and then
no faith in the in the in the backup Daniel Jones,
the high priced guy they brought in to be the.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Back My options are a guy that tapped out of
a game because he was tired and a guy that
couldn't start for the Giants. This is where my fandom
has met across roads, right like man in the past,
be so excited for tonight, Hey, first Colts game. I
know it's preseason garbage, but at least for the first
ten minutes, I'm gonna be excited. I think maybe I'm
(07:09):
still a little heartbroken from the Pacers, like the Game
seven with the injury and the way that it happened
hasn't set well with me. I'm having a hard time
getting over this breakup. But uh man, yeah, I'm just
not feeling this quarterback situation. I think it's the worst
quarterback room in the league. And keep in mind the.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
League has the Cleveland Browns on it, so you're you
have no faith that that's just gonna click with this
dude this year, with all these tools we've heard about
Richardson and blah blah blah, you have no faith that
this is this is the year.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I don't now. I hope he proves me wrong. If
he proves me wrong, I will come on here and say, hey,
I was wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Man.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
The Richardson kid figured it out. But I follow a
lot of SEC football. I'm a falls guy. Richardson could
not pass in college. He's got a cannon for an arm.
He'll throw the deep ball to Alec Peers and you
guys are gonna love it. But he can't move the
chains on third down. He can't read a defense. He
can't make the basic throws, at least he can't as
of his entire college through pro career so far.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
What are we doing this afternoon?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
What's going on, and it is Bring the Heat Thursday
on the Hammer and Nigel Show. We've got Tommy Larin,
we've got Rob Kendall. Wow, myself had a new Degenerates
next Door sports betting podcast will drop around one o'clock.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
All right, good stuff, Thank you Hammer. It is Kendall
and Casey on ninety three WIBC
