Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, let's work through this together, shall we. Okay,
So the House of Representatives is about to vote for
the Jennifer Ruth Green Election Act that are known as redistricting,
in which they are going to rig our maps, really
screw representation across the state. Have these ridiculous looking districts
in which, as Jacob Stewart very eloquently laid out from
(00:23):
Indie Star earlier this week in his column, that Indianapolis
is going to get all this representation at the expense
of the rest of the state, which is exactly what
will happen based on these maps. You're going to put
Indianapolis back in charge of Indiana, which I think kind
of was one of the goals of this. So the
House is getting ready to vote for the Jennifer Ruth Green.
Now just remember who she is, and according to the
(00:45):
Republicans and Brawn and Micah and Raketa and the rest
of these people, because that's what this is about. This
is about rigging those maps so that the first congressional
district will open up so the Golden Girl, Jennifer Ruth Green,
can get elected to Congress. Now, remember Jennifer Ruth Green
ran for that seat the first seat the Chicagoland area
lost to Frank Urvan fair and square, right. So what
(01:06):
they did was they had Braun give her this cushy
two hundred and seventy five thousand dollars year job in
his cabinet to be able for her to boost her
profile so she could run again. She was such a
horrible person and so horribly unethical that she made it
about eight months in that job because she had zero
(01:28):
self control or respect for the taxpayers and her ethics.
She committed well is alleged to have committed so many
ethics infractions once she got on a performance plan by
the Brawn administration, and then ultimately they essentially threw her
out on her backside and said you have to get
out of here because of this Inspector General's investigation, et cetera,
(01:49):
in the allegations that came out of that. Now now
she's running for that first congressional district again, and so
I have now dubbed the redistricting the Jennifer Ruth Green
Election Act twenty twenty five, because that's what they're doing.
They're in their mind what they're telling you, somebody should
ask Braun and Mike and the rest of these speakers today,
do you believe the public the Republic hangs in the
(02:10):
balance of Jennifer Ruth Green getting elected to Congress.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yes, they do that, and getting Andre Carson out of Undiana.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And so if the answer is yes to that, then
why did you throw her out of your administration? Mister governor?
Why did you bounce her out? And they will you
know what they'll do, That's what they'll do. So they're
having this little rally at the state House, and of course,
because they tried to do it on their own, they
put Mike and Diego front and center, Morales, Secretary of
State at the last probably the head and they got
(02:36):
about thirty people there. So they said, wow, we can't
we get do this. I'm like us, we did it
on our own and we got thousand people. They can't
do this on their own. So they brought the Turning
Point USA people in and I bet they will have
a good crowded because Turning Point US said, they'll bust
them in. They'll do whatever. They've got the infrastructure to
do this. They have a bigger outreach. Yeah, look, naturally,
(02:56):
because nobody cares about this, You're not gonna it's the
same faces right at all these things. You're not naturally
gonna get a bunch of people in this freezing weather
to come down there because they already had a chance
to do that and nobody showed up. Turning Point USA
will get some people there, but as much attention as
that will get, Monday is really the day that matters,
(03:17):
because Monday the Senate will take hold of this. And
is my understanding that it has been announced it is
going to elections, the Elections Committee, for those who aren't familiar,
the way it works is a bill will make it
has to make it out of a committee first before
going to the whole floor for a vote. So theoretically
the Elections Committee could vote this down and then it's
(03:39):
done and it never goes to the full floor for
a vote. And that is where they hear the testimony.
The committees are where they hear the testimonies, where the
people get up and speak. Now, unlike the House who
gave less than twenty four hours notice because they don't
give a damn about what you think or how this
is going to screw you, the Senate appears to actually care.
They're putting this out already that the testimony will be heard.
(04:02):
I was just told Monday at twelve thirty I have
been asked to go and speak to the committee, to
the committee, And so my question that I will ask
you is the voice of reason, Yeah, is should I
do this?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Well, sure, if you feel strongly enough about it.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Well, but what I don't want to do because look,
all the attention then will be on me. Right, he's going,
he's going to be there. Many of these people consider
me a mortal enemy, even if we're agreeing on this, right.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You feel like you need security? No no no no
no no no no no no no.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
No no, no no no. I'm just saying, would I
do I mean, it will get a lot of attention
right when I go in there and do this, correct,
But will it actually helped the cause, which is to
defeat this horrible, rotten bill. Would there be a senator
on there? Well, I was against it, but Kendall's for it,
So I'm changing my vote.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't think anybody speaking is going to sway anybody's opinion.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
It's a waste of time.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well, I wouldn't necessarily say it's a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Going to change anybody's opinion. If it's gonna do more
no good whatsoever. It would be a waste of my time,
wouldn't it.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
No, it would be great for the show, do it
for me, but I would.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Want to go. I would want to, like we have
a lot of fun on this show. This would not
be fun for me. This would be me going you.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You would have to be serious.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Well, no, I would because I feel very passionately about this.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Well, then you should go. Okay, I feel passionate about it.
Go speak your.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Piece, all right. I just I just the result. Unlike
these politicians, the result is more important than whatever circus
or whatever tension that might create. And I don't want
to do anything that could potentially I don't want to
be seen being with that guy.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Well, I need you to have your thoughts collected and like,
don't go and be foolish. I wouldn't expect that you
would just keep me for four years.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Don't go be an ass.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Well, because you know Indie reporter is going to clip
out whatever you say.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
That's right and put it up on the cool much
of the news.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, and that'll that'll be around forever and ever. Well, right,
so I just want to make.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Sure it is your focus I'm pretty good at I'm
pretty good at talking to a lot of people and
hitting and hitting a queue.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Right, yeah, yeah you are. So just make sure you
know what you're going to say. Go in prepared, Okay,
make your argument.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
All right, Okay, then I think I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Okay, okay, good.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And it wanted to disrupt the show at all, right,
because it's a twelve thirty twelve thirty, so you don't
have any That's why you're so for this. It's not
going to disrupt you at all, right, asked if you
want to go, you can come with me moral support.
If you want me to case I get, you know,
thrown in a cell somewhere or something.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You're not going to get thrown no where to find me. Yeah,
you want me to go for bail money. I see
what you're all about. So Abdulah was reporting by his
last account, the votes to approve the new maps in
the Senate weren't there. He said, the caucus is split
twenty twenty and with every Democrat voting no. If the
vote were held today would fail twenty to thirty.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Well, so the question is if you haven't announced your
support because a hammer Nigel and I talked about this
yesterday on the off the rail segment. The support is basically,
they get out of jail free card right like as
soon as you announce that, Oh you're awesome, Oh you're wonderful,
including senators who have done immense damage to our state
like Liz Brown. Oh you're some sort of hero now
(07:24):
because you made cookies with nine to zero on them,
Like this is the ridiculousness of all of this, all
the voting rights and she bought cookies. Well, yeah, I
was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Think can probably purchased them at at a local baker.
All the previous stuff that has done immense damage to
our actual state, the people who don't live here, they
don't care about that at all, like that, they're not
(07:46):
focused on the votes these people have taken that have
raised taxes, et cetera. So if the get out of
jail free card is yes, then why if you were
a yes, wouldn't you say yes.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Right, come out and announce it if you.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Had twenty five votes. Because Mike is gonna ben the
knee to Braun and do whatever he's told because he
totally compromised. Now, so whatever Braun tells him to do,
because he believes Braun will be his saving grace. Mike
is going to cast the tie breaking vote. So if
you've got twenty, all you gotta do is get five.
If you just announced the five, you're basically done. If
(08:22):
the five who were hiding in the shadows just came
out in a block and said we're all four it,
then we're done. Here they've got the twenty five and
that's it. Now the irony of all this, which we
haven't yes, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I'm just thinking that lieutenant governor is probably hoping that
it's tied. Well, this is he can come in and
be the hero.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Well, this is the irony the tie breaking vote now,
I'm sure because of his crack staff, because they have
the IQ of seven collectively, they haven't thought this through.
The irony of Micah casting the tie breaking vote is
that as a lieutenant governor in name now he's not
in charge of anything anymore, but in terms of in name,
he is still in charge of agriculture in the state
of Indiana. And as Jacob Stewart laid out very.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Clearly, redistricting will hurt the rural areas of Indiana it's.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Going to screw the farmers horribly. So you will have
the Lieutenant governor casting a vote to screw.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
The people that he's supposed to.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Write helping, which is the most Indiana Republican Party thing ever.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I'm sure Micah and his group haven't thought through that
for one second until they just heard it here. But
that's what that will be. What will happen if Micah
beck With cast the tie breaking vote, he will vote
to screw the very people that he is supposed to
be the primary advocate for and in charge of.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
So when the governor was on with Himmer and Nigel yesterday,
he was saying that even if the Senate votes it down,
this won't be the end of things.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Here, I'm surprised that they haven't taken the queue, because
let's say they don't, this is not the end of it.
Do you think the White House is going to just
drop the issue when they've come in twice with a
vice president, twice with phone calls you guys on there, Yes,
(10:06):
So that doesn't mean it's over like you can get
that off of your agenda. It just then becomes a
different type of pursuit and it's a longer term possibly,
And I don't think it'd be a dead issue even
in the session when it starts in January. So I
think all of that would make you wonder why they
(10:28):
die on that hill.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I don't know what what else can they do?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well? He I mean he long ago reached the eye
will not be ignored Dan phase, the you know, the
Glenn Close character and fatal attraction. I mean, like all
of what he's doing here was what we begged him
to do in property taxes and he said, no, it
won't do any good.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
That's because he wasn't under Donald Trump's thumb when it
came to property taxes.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
But that's what the should show over about. These people
don't work for us and don't care about us at all.
Everything is political now. Everything is not about you. It's
about them and their standing and anything that they do
how it might potentially piss off the wrong person. But
why it matters is okay. This is easy to see
with Trump and a lot of people like Trump, so
(11:19):
it doesn't hit home. They do this with the lobbyists too.
They do this all the time with lobbyists, where they
take these positions based on not wanting to make some
person mad because of the money that is given to
their campaigns or given to their opponents. So while you
may excuse the behavior because it's Trump and you like him,
remember they're opening This is them pulling back the curtain
(11:42):
to show you how they operate on everything. So while
you may be fine with it because it's Trump, you're
not fine with that when they're doing you know, you
don't know why they're doing it, but they're doing this
with people from Mark Donald Trump, right, and it's screwing
you every single day.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, it's just like with the data centers, one.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Hundred percent totally. All right, what are we doing next?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Well, actress Halle Berry, she was at the New York
Times deal Book Summit yesterday and she said something that
surprised the crowd. It may surprise you too, since she's
a Hollywood type. And we'll play it for you coming up.
It's Kendally Casey. It's ninety three WYBC.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I saw beck as the opening act for you too,
did you really? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I saw beck as well at the Steppen Center at
Notre Dame.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I think he does a lot of opening acts for people.
I think that's his one of his things and he's
probably a good guy in the sense of like you
could get him. It's probably not overly expensive. He's got
some songs people know and like, what's he doing now?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
So I mean, yeah, he hasn't put any music out
in a while.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I'm a Loser, bab I mean that's the song, right,
I'm a Loser. That's the song that everybody recognizes.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, he's got two turntables on a microphone, or two
pork tender loins and a chocolate cone if you want
to change the words.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
But yeah, I was thinking, like when I was watching
him open for You two, I was like, what a
gig for this guy? I mean, it's not you know,
he's not a superstar. He had a couple songs, including
the one mega hit, but like he's not a huge name, right,
and yet he's in all these stadiums because that's all
you two plays, and he's in front of you know,
(13:31):
forty five fifty thousand people every night.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
He must have been very excited about that. I mean,
that's a big show.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Has a sort of a relationship with those guys.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I don't know. When I saw him he opened up
for Third Eye Blind, not quite as big as you
two not.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Even closed, right, but that's still not some small venue
he's playing in.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Oh no, it was when I saw him. Oh really,
the stepping center is like a geodesic dome.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Oh I was thinking like you were saying, it was
like the Notre Dame College. No arena, No, it is small.
Oh that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I must have seen him a lot earlier, well in
his career than you did.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Well, okay, was this like the seventies?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I think he was live then.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Oh, he totally was. That song was in the note.
When was it it was?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It would have been the late nineties.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Oh yeah, I mean we're talking like I'm talking like
I saw him with you two here, you know, twenty
seventeen or whatever it was. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, speaking
of Hollywood people and celebrities, and Halle Berry said something useful.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
She did. She was speaking at the New York Times
Deal Book Summit, and she was she's trying to get
bipartterson support aimed at expanding menopause related care. And this
is the second year in a row she's been working
on this and what do what She's trying to get
legislation passed in California to expand menopause care for women?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
What does that even mean? You're a woman, what do
you mean?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
What does it mean? Well, I mean it's the Menopause
Care Equity Act.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
But this is my point, like, what is is there
inequity in menopause care? Like? I mean, I guess, say
knew minopause, Like I didn't even help. Well, you're a
woman helped me with it's.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's they're trying to get health insurance plans to cover
outpatient prescriptions that cover perimenopause and menopause symptoms.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Okay, so she wants other people to subsidize menopause care
for people, that's what she wants. Yeah, okay, very good. Okay,
why can't we just say that I want you to
pay for other I'm not saying you, I'm not blaming you.
I'm just saying we always do this, like like fluffy
language speak about what's going on here. As we've learned, Casey,
the way insurance works is when other people use it,
(15:37):
you pay for it. Didn't we just learn how all
that works? Yeah, so she wants other people to pay
for people's menopause related.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, very good.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Now we're all sudden what's going on?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So she was speaking about this, and then she took
a swipe at Gavin Newsom. But the opposite of that.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Back in my great state of California, my very own governor,
Gavin Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill not one but
two years in a row. But that's okay because he's
not going to be governor forever, and with the way
he's overlooked women half the population by devaluing us in midlife,
(16:18):
he probably should not be our next president either.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Just saying she's your all. The crowd responded to that case.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I didn't hear anything. I don't have headphos.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Oh that's right.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I was trying feverishly to get your ten. So why
don't you tell me what she said? Because everything's broke
if you missed, if you're just tuning it. Everything's broke
here today because we're moving in a week, and so
that every no matter what's broke, they just look at
it and go, well, good luck, good luck with that.
So I have no headphones she said.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
What she said was that Gavin Newsom has vetoed her
menopause bill not once, but two years in a row,
and she said he's not going to be governor forever,
and the way that he overlooked women half the population,
he probably should not be the next president either, which
is kind of pricing coming from her in California.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Well, yeah, but there's something she wants and he's not
doing like That's how it.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Goes down to I like you until you don't do
my one thing?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Isn't that what we deal with with everything? Right? Isn't this?
How many? How often do we see this? That's what
politics is. It's just using other people's money and stuff
to get your desired results. That's what politics and government
is at the end of the day, using other people's
money to get your desired result. And there are some
government programs that are worthwhile and do do good. That
(17:33):
doesn't mean they're necessarily run efficiently. But you say, okay,
I can see why the public would have a vested
interest in that and funding that. But at the end
of the day, that's every government program is using someone
else's money to get your desired result.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Okay, Well, according to A and Gavin Newsom can't run
for governor again.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
But according to you, she knows that, yeah, because.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
She said he shouldn't be president. Evil Okay, she said
he wasn't going to be governor forever, so she knows
he's on his way out. According to an embers In
College poll, Eric Swollwell and Katie Porter are now the
top contenders in the race for governor.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
There.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Okay, so this was fascinating. So the way California works,
I love how the internet just just manipulates everything. So
the way California works is they call it, I think
a jungle primary is the name of it, where everybody
runs regardless of party. So there's no like Republican versus Democrat.
It's all the Republicans, all the Democrats, all the independents,
(18:28):
All these people run together and then whoever the top
two people are, they then run against each other in
the general election. So theoretically could have two Democrats if
they were the top two vote getters, run against each
other in a general election. Well, because there's nine million
people to choose from and everybody it's you know, a
year off, so everybody's very undecided. They the two Republican
(18:51):
names because you know whatever, they collectively thirty five percent
or thirty percent of the people are Republican in California.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
It's fifty seven fifty six point seven percent Democrat thirty
three point nine Republicans.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Perfectly darn, I'm good, right very close. The Republicans have
the highest percentage of total votes right now, because well
there's only two of them, and everybody if it's a Republican,
you probably know who it is and have some sort
of opinion right now, and the people on Twitter are presented.
It's like, look at what's happening in California. These two
(19:24):
Republicans have the highest percentage of vote right now. They
could something could be magically changing. Trump is even affecting California.
It's like, no, these two Democrats, they're going to rally
behind one of them. By the time everybody votes that
that person is going to be in the general election,
it will be one Democrat against maybe one Republican. If
(19:45):
the Republicans know the problem is that Republicans don't unite
against behind a candidate. They could be get iced out altogether.
It could be these two Democrats running against each other.
But it is just like how social media manipulates everything,
no matter how ridiculous to try to make people think
that some are Publican has a chance to win in California.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
So far, Eric Swalwell has a twelve percent polling average,
and Katie Porter is at eleven percent, and.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
The Republican people that they are like at thirteen. So
by the time the Democrats kick all the also randsm
people start paying attention, it'll be you know, swallow Well
at thirty some and Porter at thirty some and the
Republicans better just hope that one of those if they
call us around a Republican, there may be no Republican
on the ballot in the fall.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It is Kendilly Casey, It's ninety three wybc's day for
you for me? Why for me?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Well, because Notre Dame is hanging on by a thread
on the college football playoff.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, they got bumped down a slot, didn't they.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well they're in the top ten. So the college ball
played by the Way's keittle case show'm roun. That's Casey.
College Football Playoff to me is amazing because they've admitted
it's a television program. Like we're picking teams we think
people want to see. Right, there's some level of you
had to make it, but when we get discretion, we're
gonna pick who everybody wants to see. Notre Dame right
now is in the field and really, you have to
(21:04):
get into the top ten because there's gonna be two teams,
the ACC champ and this group of five champ, which
for someone, I have no idea why they let this
group of five person team in because it's gonna be
Tulane or James Madison or somebody who's just gonna get
their clocks cleaned in the first round and nobody wants
(21:26):
to see them. Have no idea why they do this.
But basically, you got to get in the top ten
to ensure yourself a spot. Notre Name is currently ten.
Now the public believe, or I'm sorry, the insiders believe
that there is really only one way Notre Dame can
get bounced out because they're Notre Dame. They want them
in the field. There'll be a ton eyeballs on Notre Dame.
And that is if both Alabama and BYU win tomorrow.
(21:49):
BYU playing in the Big twelve Championship against Texas Tech,
who has already beaten BYU earlier this year. Texas Tech
is probably in no matter what, although maybe not if
they depends, but if BYU were to win, they would
win the Big Top they'd get the automatic bid. That
means Texas Tech would have to be an at large
team which could bounce a Notre Dame Alabama winning. If
(22:10):
Alabama loses the SEC championship, they've got three losses. Whether
they get bounced out or nothing, I don't know. They
would fall behind Notre Dame and it would be up
to Alabama. That would be the team sort of on
the fence. So if either Alabama or by You lose,
you're fine. If they both win, you got some problems.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yeah, well, I think Texas Tech is going to win
that game, and I've already mentioned Alabama's gonna win.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Okay, all right, you would you think Alabama's gonna be Georgia?
Mm hm, well that's not good for you. So you
need Tech that you would need BYUD lose to Texas Tech. Now,
the game tomorrow here in Indianapolis has no ramification on
whether these teams are getting in. I you in Ohio,
State one and two in the country will both be
in regardless. However, it could have an impact on who
(22:56):
gets the buys. The top four teams don't have to
play in the first round. Whoever loses this game, as
long as it's close, I still think we'll get a buye. Now,
if Ohio State goes in and beats the breaks off IU,
you could see a shuffling and they maybe move somewhere
between five and twelve. The bigger implication though, was the
Heisman Trophy. Because Julian Saying is the quarterback for Ohio
(23:16):
State and Mendoza is the quarterback for IU. They are
one and two right now in most people's fields, picks
on the Heisman and whoever wins this game or plays
the best could end up winning the Heisman Trophy?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Is it? It kind of risky though to playing the Big
Ten championship game if you're trying to win in the
college football playoff game, Like, what if somebody gets hurt?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Oh, totally could happen. I mean you've seen this in
basketball before, where you know you have a great team.
There was a team that's been thirty years ago now.
Cincinnati had arguably the best team in the country. Bob
Huggins was the coach, Kenyon Martin was their star player.
Kenyon Martin had a horrible leg injury, and they, you know,
the committee, they had to say, what do we do
with Cincinnati? They were the number one seed but without
(24:00):
this guy, and they ended up making them a two seat,
and I think they lost in the second or third round.
So yes, it's a huge risk, but you want to
play one because of all the eyeballs and your goals
to be in the National Football League and the money,
the money, right, yeah, but also you want that buy
and so for IU and Ohio State, and also you
want to be the Big ten champ. But the big
issue is you want to make sure you get that
(24:21):
first round by So they're going to play all their players,
They're all going to play at full strength, and so
we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
They're saying that Ohio State fans from Columbus are expected
in large numbers.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Oh, I think they'll be more Ohio State than I.
You fans, you think so? Oh totally.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I didn't know this until I saw this article in
Indy Star. They say that I you boasts the most
alumni in the United States, more than eight hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I don't doubt that.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I always thought it was Ohio State who had the
most alumni across the country.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Well, Indy Star would not lie to us.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
But maybe over the past couple of years, IU has
surpassed them. Eight hundred and five worldwide.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Here's the issue you're going to run into. Now, I
could be dead wrong in it. It could either way.
It's going to be a sea of red and white. Right,
it didn't matter, right, But here's what you run into.
Ohio State has what you know, a fifty year, sixty
year history of rabinous hardcore fans that want to go
see Ohio State football and a lot of times the
don't get the opportunity because there's only so many games
at Ohio State, tickets are very expensive, et cetera. Right,
(25:17):
this is a different opportunity. It's a different venue for
those people to get tickets. There are more of them,
and I you, let's face it, it's a basketball school.
I mean, yeah, I'm not doubting there's people very fired
up of at IU football, but it's a basketball school.
And are they willing to pay the premium to this game?
Like I know the Ohio State people will be.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Speaking of the premium. Let's see tickets are they've gone
up in the past couple days. By the way, seven
hundred and seventy three dollars is the lowest one I
can find. Yeah, that's for.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Like a tippy top of the stadium.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Section six twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Yeah, that's stupid. Who would pay that to go see
a bunch of peas run around?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Somebody who wants to experience the entire event.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I have on numerous occasions been at that level. The
press boxes at Lucas Oil Stadium are obviously way up,
and I've been there numerous times to do variou high
school football games. They're like little ants. Who would pay that?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Somebody will. So there's a twenty thousand foot square foot
interactive Big Ten FanFest starts today and goes tomorrow. It's
at the Convention Center. And if you don't have a
ticket but you still want to be involved, maybe maybe
that's your play. That's what you do. You go to
the fan fest, now hang out there.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I have an EU diploma on my wall. Yeah so,
but I feel like that university has done nothing for me. Oh.
I mean, I've never been in a job interview where
they've asked one, see my college diploma for your GPA
or anything, which is sad because I had incredible grades
in college, was on the dean's list, still got the
letters and everything. But so that twenty thousand dollars I
gave not all of it to them some of a
(26:51):
divey tech, but collectively for my college education, it's done
me no good. So I got no loyalty of these people.
They've done nothing for me. I want to make money
on this thing. I'm taking Ohio State laying it's down
to four now. It was five and a half. So
heavy money has come in on IU over the past day,
day and a half, right, because that's a pretty substantial
(27:12):
movement on the line from five and a half to four.
But I'm in. I'm in on Ohio State lay into four.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
So the Indiana football team is going to depart for
the game tonight at five point thirty from the south
side of Memorial Stadium, and an Indy car is going
to lead the way. Drive them up here like a
race car, Like an Indy car. You can drive one
of those on the well, somebody various.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Highways and byways in the state of Indiana and get
in an Indy car and say, go.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Well, it could be one of the pace cars.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Oh, I was singing like like an actual like, ah, it's.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Probably one of the pace cars. Will Powerly you're listening
to Kendall and Casey. It is ninety three WYBC.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Tam up because my come, casey, let's go into the
weekend with something uplifting, shall we.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Well, that's not what I had on the template.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Talking about how lonely everyone is.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, there's a new AARP survey that came out and
it said that for people over the age of forty five,
four inten adults say they're lonely.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Is there a reason, Well.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's an increase from twenty eighteen. It used to be
thirty five percent. Now it's up to forty five percent.
And most people were asked about this and they say, well,
the community groups and civic organizations and even religious organizations,
and they're social networks, they're all shrinking.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah, so this is interesting. I was actually I had
no idea gonna do the story because you know, I
don't look at our template so correct. So I was thinking,
I don't know how I got on this. But you know,
when I my drive into work is basically a thirty
minute conversation with myself, I just start talking to myself
about a variety of things. Yeah, and then by the
time next thing I know, I'm here at work. Well,
now it's like a forty minute conversation.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It used to be a thirty minut a conference any longer.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
But one of the things I was I don't even
know how I got on this. I was listening to Craig,
you know, he was in for Tony Day coming to
maybe he said something I can't remember. I was thinking
about how how much like your world changes in your
mid twenties, and really in your mid twenties, because your
(29:24):
early twenties are still connected. Most of the time. There's
some sort of like social network that is somewhat consistent
and coherent in the sense of you go to college,
you have those friends, your people you went to high
school with. If you don't go to college or don't
spend a lot of time like I went to college
but didn't do a lot of things on a college campus,
(29:44):
you're still tied into enough of the people who went
to high school with because they're not married, they a
lot of times don't have serious relationships. But then once
you enter your mid twenties, all of that starts to
break apart. And you're also staring down the idea of
adulthood because you are an adult in your mid twenties
but still not bound by you know, minimal families or children.
(30:05):
But you see that coming right at you.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Right, yes, you do.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
So your mid twenties like this weird period where you've
broken off, this kind of like lonely period where're in
this abyss where you've broken off from your youth and
you see adulthood, and it's like these two things are
slamming in on you. And I wonder. I wonder, like
when you're talking about people in their mid forties, A
lot of people and I'm not saying this is a
(30:29):
good thing, but whether they've been you know, divorced or
you know whatever, their social structures maybe they previously known
oftentimes have split apart and you got to try to
put those back together again.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Right. Well. And another thing that they're saying is contributing
to it, and you could probably guess this if you
thought about it. It's technology. Because you're able to do
so much within your house. You don't have to leave
and go anywhere and have actual face to face conversations
with people. And as you mentioned, when you're in that
(31:00):
mid forty plus range, your children are a little bit
more independent. They don't need you as much. Well, yeah,
that's true. You waited a little longer. But for many
people who had children at a younger age than you.
That becomes their social structure. And when the children get older,
(31:22):
they're not needed as much. Parents aren't needed as much.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, and that's like for me, I always felt this way,
like it's the one thing in my life I did
that worked out exactly as I kind of thought I
was gonna work out. I always picture myself having children older.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Congratulations, Well my wife.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Was much younger and she had to do all the
actual work, you know. I was just there, going, you're
doing a great job, like in terms of actually having
the children, is what I mean. But I always looked
at it like, Okay, you're only young once, so you
might as well get all of your young out of you,
because what are you gonna do so you're wild o
be fifty and go into the bars and like hello children,
Like that's that's not going to happen. So if you
(32:01):
have your whole rest of your life to be a parent,
to be an adult, why would you waste the time
when it's fun to be young with all of these responsibilities. Now,
that maybe a horrible way to view it. Well, and
there's the way I viewed it.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
There's other people that go the opposite way to say,
I want to have children young so that they're grown
and out of the house while I'm still healthy enough
to do stuff.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
And now I'm super jealous of them. Yeah right now,
I'm like, they did it all right.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
So it depends on how you look at it. Now,
according to this AARP study, they said men are more
likely to be lonely than women. Yeah, forty two percent
of men compared to thirty seven percent of women. But
here's the interesting thing. They say, once you hit this
sixty plus mark, the rate of loneliness goes down. So
(32:49):
there's this age between forty five and sixty where the
loneliness epidemic is at its high.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You know, that makes sense because seniors seemed to like
find each other. There are these senior communities, they're senior
organizations like that. That does make sense to me. That
and they do more things that involve people. You're you're
totally out of the you're never out of the parenting game,
but in terms of pless you're me you know, having
your children under your roof or whatever, that would make sense.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Well, and they say that the seniors the sixty plus range,
they don't have a problem connecting people in the grocery
store or just you know, the post office, just random places,
and that fulfills their need for human connection, whereas somebody
who maybe forty five is in a hurry. They're task oriented.
They just want to get in, get out, get the
(33:42):
job done. But if you're sixty plus, you're moving maybe
at a slower pace, and you've got time to stop
and have a small conversation with someone I.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Many years ago, m And you notice, you know, I
don't notice people's appearances. Sure, but once, when I'm at
the time, I did notice pop's appearances.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Right.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
In fact, that's all I noticed people's appearances.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Showing come a long way. I'm glad you've grown.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
The disdain in your voice if you said that.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Yeah, I'm so glad you're growing.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
No growth whatsoever. Anyway, I went on a social rendezvous
with a woman who was a tad bit older than me,
and she was in this sort of age range that
we're discussing here. I was much younger and a genre
for that, right, Sure, it's fine whatever, and so, but
I remember talking to her about what you're throwing down,
(34:36):
what her life was like like, what the existence of
someone single in that age range was like. And I
remember whatever I was late late twenties or whatever, going, Boy,
that doesn't seem all that great to be your age.
I mean the fact that you're here with me, that
should that should be the first red flag, Well what's
(34:57):
going on with you? But I just that stuck with me, like,
I don't think I want to be that.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Well you didn't get that, So congratulations, as.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Long as my wife doesn't kick me out of the house.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Only fun, Yes, behave yourself.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
But you were a social butterfly, I mean in the
sense of a work environment, right, you were around these
people when not to say you're that far removed from
that age, you probably saw that We're like, that didn't
look so great for you.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Are you talking about the what going to the bars?
Speaker 1 (35:25):
You're a radio executive, you were a leader. You were
at these events and you would see these people who
were in the age range that we're talking about here,
who weren't in the stable, loving relationship that you were,
and you probably were like, hmm that, while on the
surface that might seem fun at that age, probably better
to have something a little more stable.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Well, conversely, you can look at it and say, also, wow,
they're having a whole lot of fun. So I think
it really depends on their outlook. Look at them going
out all the time, having a good time.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
If you wear down quicker, Yeah, that's true. I mean
there is there shouldn't be anywhere out with me out
till three, you know what you over?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I think it really depends on your mindset.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
And with that being said, you'll find Tacy downtown Indianapolis.
No tonight.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Huh. All right, let's go home. Thank you, Rob, thank you, Kevin,
thank you for listening. Have a wonderful weekend. We'll catch
you back here Monday. It's Kendilly Casey on ninety three WYBC.
All right, let's work through this together, shall we. Okay,
So the House of Representatives is about to vote for
the Jennifer Ruth Green Election Act that are known as redistricting,
in which they are going to rig our maps, really
screw representation across the state. Have these ridiculous looking districts
in which, as Jacob Stewart very eloquently laid out from
(00:23):
Indie Star earlier this week in his column, that Indianapolis
is going to get all this representation at the expense
of the rest of the state, which is exactly what
will happen based on these maps. You're going to put
Indianapolis back in charge of Indiana, which I think kind
of was one of the goals of this. So the
House is getting ready to vote for the Jennifer Ruth Green.
Now just remember who she is, and according to the
(00:45):
Republicans and Brawn and Micah and Raketa and the rest
of these people, because that's what this is about. This
is about rigging those maps so that the first congressional
district will open up so the Golden Girl, Jennifer Ruth Green,
can get elected to Congress. Now, remember Jennifer Ruth Green
ran for that seat the first seat the Chicagoland area
lost to Frank Urvan fair and square, right. So what
(01:06):
they did was they had Braun give her this cushy
two hundred and seventy five thousand dollars year job in
his cabinet to be able for her to boost her
profile so she could run again. She was such a
horrible person and so horribly unethical that she made it
about eight months in that job because she had zero
(01:28):
self control or respect for the taxpayers and her ethics.
She committed well is alleged to have committed so many
ethics infractions once she got on a performance plan by
the Brawn administration, and then ultimately they essentially threw her
out on her backside and said you have to get
out of here because of this Inspector General's investigation, et cetera,
(01:49):
in the allegations that came out of that. Now now
she's running for that first congressional district again, and so
I have now dubbed the redistricting the Jennifer Ruth Green
Election Act twenty twenty five, because that's what they're doing.
They're in their mind what they're telling you, somebody should
ask Braun and Mike and the rest of these speakers today,
do you believe the public the Republic hangs in the
(02:10):
balance of Jennifer Ruth Green getting elected to Congress.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yes, they do that, and getting Andre Carson out of Undiana.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And so if the answer is yes to that, then
why did you throw her out of your administration? Mister governor?
Why did you bounce her out? And they will you
know what they'll do, That's what they'll do. So they're
having this little rally at the state House, and of course,
because they tried to do it on their own, they
put Mike and Diego front and center, Morales, Secretary of
State at the last probably the head and they got
(02:36):
about thirty people there. So they said, wow, we can't
we get do this. I'm like us, we did it
on our own and we got thousand people. They can't
do this on their own. So they brought the Turning
Point USA people in and I bet they will have
a good crowded because Turning Point US said, they'll bust
them in. They'll do whatever. They've got the infrastructure to
do this. They have a bigger outreach. Yeah, look, naturally,
(02:56):
because nobody cares about this, You're not gonna it's the
same faces right at all these things. You're not naturally
gonna get a bunch of people in this freezing weather
to come down there because they already had a chance
to do that and nobody showed up. Turning Point USA
will get some people there, but as much attention as
that will get, Monday is really the day that matters,
(03:17):
because Monday the Senate will take hold of this. And
is my understanding that it has been announced it is
going to elections, the Elections Committee, for those who aren't familiar,
the way it works is a bill will make it
has to make it out of a committee first before
going to the whole floor for a vote. So theoretically
the Elections Committee could vote this down and then it's
(03:39):
done and it never goes to the full floor for
a vote. And that is where they hear the testimony.
The committees are where they hear the testimonies, where the
people get up and speak. Now, unlike the House who
gave less than twenty four hours notice because they don't
give a damn about what you think or how this
is going to screw you, the Senate appears to actually care.
They're putting this out already that the testimony will be heard.
(04:02):
I was just told Monday at twelve thirty I have
been asked to go and speak to the committee, to
the committee, And so my question that I will ask
you is the voice of reason, Yeah, is should I
do this?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Well, sure, if you feel strongly enough about it.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Well, but what I don't want to do because look,
all the attention then will be on me. Right, he's going,
he's going to be there. Many of these people consider
me a mortal enemy, even if we're agreeing on this, right.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You feel like you need security? No no no no
no no no no no no no.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
No no, no no no. I'm just saying, would I
do I mean, it will get a lot of attention
right when I go in there and do this, correct,
But will it actually helped the cause, which is to
defeat this horrible, rotten bill. Would there be a senator
on there? Well, I was against it, but Kendall's for it,
So I'm changing my vote.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't think anybody speaking is going to sway anybody's opinion.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
It's a waste of time.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well, I wouldn't necessarily say it's a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Going to change anybody's opinion. If it's gonna do more
no good whatsoever. It would be a waste of my time,
wouldn't it.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
No, it would be great for the show, do it
for me, but I would.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Want to go. I would want to, like we have
a lot of fun on this show. This would not
be fun for me. This would be me going you.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You would have to be serious.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Well, no, I would because I feel very passionately about this.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Well, then you should go. Okay, I feel passionate about it.
Go speak your.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Piece, all right. I just I just the result. Unlike
these politicians, the result is more important than whatever circus
or whatever tension that might create. And I don't want
to do anything that could potentially I don't want to
be seen being with that guy.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Well, I need you to have your thoughts collected and like,
don't go and be foolish. I wouldn't expect that you
would just keep me for four years.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Don't go be an ass.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Well, because you know Indie reporter is going to clip
out whatever you say.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
That's right and put it up on the cool much
of the news.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, and that'll that'll be around forever and ever. Well, right,
so I just want to make.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Sure it is your focus I'm pretty good at I'm
pretty good at talking to a lot of people and
hitting and hitting a queue.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Right, yeah, yeah you are. So just make sure you
know what you're going to say. Go in prepared, Okay,
make your argument.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
All right, Okay, then I think I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Okay, okay, good.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And it wanted to disrupt the show at all, right,
because it's a twelve thirty twelve thirty, so you don't
have any That's why you're so for this. It's not
going to disrupt you at all, right, asked if you
want to go, you can come with me moral support.
If you want me to case I get, you know,
thrown in a cell somewhere or something.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You're not going to get thrown no where to find me. Yeah,
you want me to go for bail money. I see
what you're all about. So Abdulah was reporting by his
last account, the votes to approve the new maps in
the Senate weren't there. He said, the caucus is split
twenty twenty and with every Democrat voting no. If the
vote were held today would fail twenty to thirty.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Well, so the question is if you haven't announced your
support because a hammer Nigel and I talked about this
yesterday on the off the rail segment. The support is basically,
they get out of jail free card right like as
soon as you announce that, Oh you're awesome, Oh you're wonderful,
including senators who have done immense damage to our state
like Liz Brown. Oh you're some sort of hero now
(07:24):
because you made cookies with nine to zero on them,
Like this is the ridiculousness of all of this, all
the voting rights and she bought cookies. Well, yeah, I
was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Think can probably purchased them at at a local baker.
All the previous stuff that has done immense damage to
our actual state, the people who don't live here, they
don't care about that at all, like that, they're not
(07:46):
focused on the votes these people have taken that have
raised taxes, et cetera. So if the get out of
jail free card is yes, then why if you were
a yes, wouldn't you say yes.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Right, come out and announce it if you.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Had twenty five votes. Because Mike is gonna ben the
knee to Braun and do whatever he's told because he
totally compromised. Now, so whatever Braun tells him to do,
because he believes Braun will be his saving grace. Mike
is going to cast the tie breaking vote. So if
you've got twenty, all you gotta do is get five.
If you just announced the five, you're basically done. If
(08:22):
the five who were hiding in the shadows just came
out in a block and said we're all four it,
then we're done. Here they've got the twenty five and
that's it. Now the irony of all this, which we
haven't yes, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I'm just thinking that lieutenant governor is probably hoping that
it's tied. Well, this is he can come in and
be the hero.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Well, this is the irony the tie breaking vote now,
I'm sure because of his crack staff, because they have
the IQ of seven collectively, they haven't thought this through.
The irony of Micah casting the tie breaking vote is
that as a lieutenant governor in name now he's not
in charge of anything anymore, but in terms of in name,
he is still in charge of agriculture in the state
of Indiana. And as Jacob Stewart laid out very.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Clearly, redistricting will hurt the rural areas of Indiana it's.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Going to screw the farmers horribly. So you will have
the Lieutenant governor casting a vote to screw.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
The people that he's supposed to.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Write helping, which is the most Indiana Republican Party thing ever.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I'm sure Micah and his group haven't thought through that
for one second until they just heard it here. But
that's what that will be. What will happen if Micah
beck With cast the tie breaking vote, he will vote
to screw the very people that he is supposed to
be the primary advocate for and in charge of.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
So when the governor was on with Himmer and Nigel yesterday,
he was saying that even if the Senate votes it down,
this won't be the end of things.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Here, I'm surprised that they haven't taken the queue, because
let's say they don't, this is not the end of it.
Do you think the White House is going to just
drop the issue when they've come in twice with a
vice president, twice with phone calls you guys on there, Yes,
(10:06):
So that doesn't mean it's over like you can get
that off of your agenda. It just then becomes a
different type of pursuit and it's a longer term possibly,
And I don't think it'd be a dead issue even
in the session when it starts in January. So I
think all of that would make you wonder why they
(10:28):
die on that hill.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I don't know what what else can they do?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well? He I mean he long ago reached the eye
will not be ignored Dan phase, the you know, the
Glenn Close character and fatal attraction. I mean, like all
of what he's doing here was what we begged him
to do in property taxes and he said, no, it
won't do any good.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
That's because he wasn't under Donald Trump's thumb when it
came to property taxes.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
But that's what the should show over about. These people
don't work for us and don't care about us at all.
Everything is political now. Everything is not about you. It's
about them and their standing and anything that they do
how it might potentially piss off the wrong person. But
why it matters is okay. This is easy to see
with Trump and a lot of people like Trump, so
(11:19):
it doesn't hit home. They do this with the lobbyists too.
They do this all the time with lobbyists, where they
take these positions based on not wanting to make some
person mad because of the money that is given to
their campaigns or given to their opponents. So while you
may excuse the behavior because it's Trump and you like him,
remember they're opening This is them pulling back the curtain
(11:42):
to show you how they operate on everything. So while
you may be fine with it because it's Trump, you're
not fine with that when they're doing you know, you
don't know why they're doing it, but they're doing this
with people from Mark Donald Trump, right, and it's screwing
you every single day.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, it's just like with the data centers, one.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Hundred percent totally. All right, what are we doing next?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Well, actress Halle Berry, she was at the New York
Times deal Book Summit yesterday and she said something that
surprised the crowd. It may surprise you too, since she's
a Hollywood type. And we'll play it for you coming up.
It's Kendally Casey. It's ninety three WYBC.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I saw beck as the opening act for you too,
did you really? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I saw beck as well at the Steppen Center at
Notre Dame.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I think he does a lot of opening acts for people.
I think that's his one of his things and he's
probably a good guy in the sense of like you
could get him. It's probably not overly expensive. He's got
some songs people know and like, what's he doing now?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
So I mean, yeah, he hasn't put any music out
in a while.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I'm a Loser, bab I mean that's the song, right,
I'm a Loser. That's the song that everybody recognizes.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, he's got two turntables on a microphone, or two
pork tender loins and a chocolate cone if you want
to change the words.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
But yeah, I was thinking, like when I was watching
him open for You two, I was like, what a
gig for this guy? I mean, it's not you know,
he's not a superstar. He had a couple songs, including
the one mega hit, but like he's not a huge name, right,
and yet he's in all these stadiums because that's all
you two plays, and he's in front of you know,
(13:31):
forty five fifty thousand people every night.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
He must have been very excited about that. I mean,
that's a big show.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Has a sort of a relationship with those guys.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I don't know. When I saw him he opened up
for Third Eye Blind, not quite as big as you
two not.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Even closed, right, but that's still not some small venue
he's playing in.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Oh no, it was when I saw him. Oh really,
the stepping center is like a geodesic dome.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Oh I was thinking like you were saying, it was
like the Notre Dame College. No arena, No, it is small.
Oh that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I must have seen him a lot earlier, well in
his career than you did.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Well, okay, was this like the seventies?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I think he was live then.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Oh, he totally was. That song was in the note.
When was it it was?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It would have been the late nineties.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Oh yeah, I mean we're talking like I'm talking like
I saw him with you two here, you know, twenty
seventeen or whatever it was. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, speaking
of Hollywood people and celebrities, and Halle Berry said something useful.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
She did. She was speaking at the New York Times
Deal Book Summit, and she was she's trying to get
bipartterson support aimed at expanding menopause related care. And this
is the second year in a row she's been working
on this and what do what She's trying to get
legislation passed in California to expand menopause care for women?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
What does that even mean? You're a woman, what do
you mean?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
What does it mean? Well, I mean it's the Menopause
Care Equity Act.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
But this is my point, like, what is is there
inequity in menopause care? Like? I mean, I guess, say
knew minopause, Like I didn't even help. Well, you're a
woman helped me with it's.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's they're trying to get health insurance plans to cover
outpatient prescriptions that cover perimenopause and menopause symptoms.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Okay, so she wants other people to subsidize menopause care
for people, that's what she wants. Yeah, okay, very good. Okay,
why can't we just say that I want you to
pay for other I'm not saying you, I'm not blaming you.
I'm just saying we always do this, like like fluffy
language speak about what's going on here. As we've learned, Casey,
the way insurance works is when other people use it,
(15:37):
you pay for it. Didn't we just learn how all
that works? Yeah, so she wants other people to pay
for people's menopause related.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, very good.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Now we're all sudden what's going on?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So she was speaking about this, and then she took
a swipe at Gavin Newsom. But the opposite of that.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Back in my great state of California, my very own governor,
Gavin Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill not one but
two years in a row. But that's okay because he's
not going to be governor forever, and with the way
he's overlooked women half the population by devaluing us in midlife,
(16:18):
he probably should not be our next president either.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Just saying she's your all. The crowd responded to that case.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I didn't hear anything. I don't have headphos.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Oh that's right.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I was trying feverishly to get your ten. So why
don't you tell me what she said? Because everything's broke
if you missed, if you're just tuning it. Everything's broke
here today because we're moving in a week, and so
that every no matter what's broke, they just look at
it and go, well, good luck, good luck with that.
So I have no headphones she said.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
What she said was that Gavin Newsom has vetoed her
menopause bill not once, but two years in a row,
and she said he's not going to be governor forever,
and the way that he overlooked women half the population,
he probably should not be the next president either, which
is kind of pricing coming from her in California.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Well, yeah, but there's something she wants and he's not
doing like That's how it.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Goes down to I like you until you don't do
my one thing?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Isn't that what we deal with with everything? Right? Isn't this?
How many? How often do we see this? That's what
politics is. It's just using other people's money and stuff
to get your desired results. That's what politics and government
is at the end of the day, using other people's
money to get your desired result. And there are some
government programs that are worthwhile and do do good. That
(17:33):
doesn't mean they're necessarily run efficiently. But you say, okay,
I can see why the public would have a vested
interest in that and funding that. But at the end
of the day, that's every government program is using someone
else's money to get your desired result.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Okay, Well, according to A and Gavin Newsom can't run
for governor again.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
But according to you, she knows that, yeah, because.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
She said he shouldn't be president. Evil Okay, she said
he wasn't going to be governor forever, so she knows
he's on his way out. According to an embers In
College poll, Eric Swollwell and Katie Porter are now the
top contenders in the race for governor.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
There.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Okay, so this was fascinating. So the way California works,
I love how the internet just just manipulates everything. So
the way California works is they call it, I think
a jungle primary is the name of it, where everybody
runs regardless of party. So there's no like Republican versus Democrat.
It's all the Republicans, all the Democrats, all the independents,
(18:28):
All these people run together and then whoever the top
two people are, they then run against each other in
the general election. So theoretically could have two Democrats if
they were the top two vote getters, run against each
other in a general election. Well, because there's nine million
people to choose from and everybody it's you know, a
year off, so everybody's very undecided. They the two Republican
(18:51):
names because you know whatever, they collectively thirty five percent
or thirty percent of the people are Republican in California.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
It's fifty seven fifty six point seven percent Democrat thirty
three point nine Republicans.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Perfectly darn, I'm good, right very close. The Republicans have
the highest percentage of total votes right now, because well
there's only two of them, and everybody if it's a Republican,
you probably know who it is and have some sort
of opinion right now, and the people on Twitter are presented.
It's like, look at what's happening in California. These two
(19:24):
Republicans have the highest percentage of vote right now. They
could something could be magically changing. Trump is even affecting California.
It's like, no, these two Democrats, they're going to rally
behind one of them. By the time everybody votes that
that person is going to be in the general election,
it will be one Democrat against maybe one Republican. If
(19:45):
the Republicans know the problem is that Republicans don't unite
against behind a candidate. They could be get iced out altogether.
It could be these two Democrats running against each other.
But it is just like how social media manipulates everything,
no matter how ridiculous to try to make people think
that some are Publican has a chance to win in California.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
So far, Eric Swalwell has a twelve percent polling average,
and Katie Porter is at eleven percent, and.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
The Republican people that they are like at thirteen. So
by the time the Democrats kick all the also randsm
people start paying attention, it'll be you know, swallow Well
at thirty some and Porter at thirty some and the
Republicans better just hope that one of those if they
call us around a Republican, there may be no Republican
on the ballot in the fall.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It is Kendilly Casey, It's ninety three wybc's day for
you for me? Why for me?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Well, because Notre Dame is hanging on by a thread
on the college football playoff.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, they got bumped down a slot, didn't they.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well they're in the top ten. So the college ball
played by the Way's keittle case show'm roun. That's Casey.
College Football Playoff to me is amazing because they've admitted
it's a television program. Like we're picking teams we think
people want to see. Right, there's some level of you
had to make it, but when we get discretion, we're
gonna pick who everybody wants to see. Notre Dame right
now is in the field and really, you have to
(21:04):
get into the top ten because there's gonna be two teams,
the ACC champ and this group of five champ, which
for someone, I have no idea why they let this
group of five person team in because it's gonna be
Tulane or James Madison or somebody who's just gonna get
their clocks cleaned in the first round and nobody wants
(21:26):
to see them. Have no idea why they do this.
But basically, you got to get in the top ten
to ensure yourself a spot. Notre Name is currently ten.
Now the public believe, or I'm sorry, the insiders believe
that there is really only one way Notre Dame can
get bounced out because they're Notre Dame. They want them
in the field. There'll be a ton eyeballs on Notre Dame.
And that is if both Alabama and BYU win tomorrow.
(21:49):
BYU playing in the Big twelve Championship against Texas Tech,
who has already beaten BYU earlier this year. Texas Tech
is probably in no matter what, although maybe not if
they depends, but if BYU were to win, they would
win the Big Top they'd get the automatic bid. That
means Texas Tech would have to be an at large
team which could bounce a Notre Dame Alabama winning. If
(22:10):
Alabama loses the SEC championship, they've got three losses. Whether
they get bounced out or nothing, I don't know. They
would fall behind Notre Dame and it would be up
to Alabama. That would be the team sort of on
the fence. So if either Alabama or by You lose,
you're fine. If they both win, you got some problems.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yeah, well, I think Texas Tech is going to win
that game, and I've already mentioned Alabama's gonna win.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Okay, all right, you would you think Alabama's gonna be Georgia?
Mm hm, well that's not good for you. So you
need Tech that you would need BYUD lose to Texas Tech. Now,
the game tomorrow here in Indianapolis has no ramification on
whether these teams are getting in. I you in Ohio,
State one and two in the country will both be
in regardless. However, it could have an impact on who
(22:56):
gets the buys. The top four teams don't have to
play in the first round. Whoever loses this game, as
long as it's close, I still think we'll get a buye. Now,
if Ohio State goes in and beats the breaks off IU,
you could see a shuffling and they maybe move somewhere
between five and twelve. The bigger implication though, was the
Heisman Trophy. Because Julian Saying is the quarterback for Ohio
(23:16):
State and Mendoza is the quarterback for IU. They are
one and two right now in most people's fields, picks
on the Heisman and whoever wins this game or plays
the best could end up winning the Heisman Trophy?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Is it? It kind of risky though to playing the Big
Ten championship game if you're trying to win in the
college football playoff game, Like, what if somebody gets hurt?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Oh, totally could happen. I mean you've seen this in
basketball before, where you know you have a great team.
There was a team that's been thirty years ago now.
Cincinnati had arguably the best team in the country. Bob
Huggins was the coach, Kenyon Martin was their star player.
Kenyon Martin had a horrible leg injury, and they, you know,
the committee, they had to say, what do we do
with Cincinnati? They were the number one seed but without
(24:00):
this guy, and they ended up making them a two seat,
and I think they lost in the second or third round.
So yes, it's a huge risk, but you want to
play one because of all the eyeballs and your goals
to be in the National Football League and the money,
the money, right, yeah, but also you want that buy
and so for IU and Ohio State, and also you
want to be the Big ten champ. But the big
issue is you want to make sure you get that
(24:21):
first round by So they're going to play all their players,
They're all going to play at full strength, and so
we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
They're saying that Ohio State fans from Columbus are expected
in large numbers.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Oh, I think they'll be more Ohio State than I.
You fans, you think so? Oh totally.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I didn't know this until I saw this article in
Indy Star. They say that I you boasts the most
alumni in the United States, more than eight hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I don't doubt that.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I always thought it was Ohio State who had the
most alumni across the country.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Well, Indy Star would not lie to us.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
But maybe over the past couple of years, IU has
surpassed them. Eight hundred and five worldwide.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Here's the issue you're going to run into. Now, I
could be dead wrong in it. It could either way.
It's going to be a sea of red and white. Right,
it didn't matter, right, But here's what you run into.
Ohio State has what you know, a fifty year, sixty
year history of rabinous hardcore fans that want to go
see Ohio State football and a lot of times the
don't get the opportunity because there's only so many games
at Ohio State, tickets are very expensive, et cetera. Right,
(25:17):
this is a different opportunity. It's a different venue for
those people to get tickets. There are more of them,
and I you, let's face it, it's a basketball school.
I mean, yeah, I'm not doubting there's people very fired
up of at IU football, but it's a basketball school.
And are they willing to pay the premium to this game?
Like I know the Ohio State people will be.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Speaking of the premium. Let's see tickets are they've gone
up in the past couple days. By the way, seven
hundred and seventy three dollars is the lowest one I
can find. Yeah, that's for.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Like a tippy top of the stadium.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Section six twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Yeah, that's stupid. Who would pay that to go see
a bunch of peas run around?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Somebody who wants to experience the entire event.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I have on numerous occasions been at that level. The
press boxes at Lucas Oil Stadium are obviously way up,
and I've been there numerous times to do variou high
school football games. They're like little ants. Who would pay that?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Somebody will. So there's a twenty thousand foot square foot
interactive Big Ten FanFest starts today and goes tomorrow. It's
at the Convention Center. And if you don't have a
ticket but you still want to be involved, maybe maybe
that's your play. That's what you do. You go to
the fan fest, now hang out there.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I have an EU diploma on my wall. Yeah so,
but I feel like that university has done nothing for me. Oh.
I mean, I've never been in a job interview where
they've asked one, see my college diploma for your GPA
or anything, which is sad because I had incredible grades
in college, was on the dean's list, still got the
letters and everything. But so that twenty thousand dollars I
gave not all of it to them some of a
(26:51):
divey tech, but collectively for my college education, it's done
me no good. So I got no loyalty of these people.
They've done nothing for me. I want to make money
on this thing. I'm taking Ohio State laying it's down
to four now. It was five and a half. So
heavy money has come in on IU over the past day,
day and a half, right, because that's a pretty substantial
(27:12):
movement on the line from five and a half to four.
But I'm in. I'm in on Ohio State lay into four.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
So the Indiana football team is going to depart for
the game tonight at five point thirty from the south
side of Memorial Stadium, and an Indy car is going
to lead the way. Drive them up here like a
race car, Like an Indy car. You can drive one
of those on the well, somebody various.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Highways and byways in the state of Indiana and get
in an Indy car and say, go.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Well, it could be one of the pace cars.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Oh, I was singing like like an actual like, ah, it's.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Probably one of the pace cars. Will Powerly you're listening
to Kendall and Casey. It is ninety three WYBC.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Tam up because my come, casey, let's go into the
weekend with something uplifting, shall we.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Well, that's not what I had on the template.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Talking about how lonely everyone is.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, there's a new AARP survey that came out and
it said that for people over the age of forty five,
four inten adults say they're lonely.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Is there a reason, Well.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's an increase from twenty eighteen. It used to be
thirty five percent. Now it's up to forty five percent.
And most people were asked about this and they say, well,
the community groups and civic organizations and even religious organizations,
and they're social networks, they're all shrinking.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah, so this is interesting. I was actually I had
no idea gonna do the story because you know, I
don't look at our template so correct. So I was thinking,
I don't know how I got on this. But you know,
when I my drive into work is basically a thirty
minute conversation with myself, I just start talking to myself
about a variety of things. Yeah, and then by the
time next thing I know, I'm here at work. Well,
now it's like a forty minute conversation.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It used to be a thirty minut a conference any longer.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
But one of the things I was I don't even
know how I got on this. I was listening to Craig,
you know, he was in for Tony Day coming to
maybe he said something I can't remember. I was thinking
about how how much like your world changes in your
mid twenties, and really in your mid twenties, because your
(29:24):
early twenties are still connected. Most of the time. There's
some sort of like social network that is somewhat consistent
and coherent in the sense of you go to college,
you have those friends, your people you went to high
school with. If you don't go to college or don't
spend a lot of time like I went to college
but didn't do a lot of things on a college campus,
(29:44):
you're still tied into enough of the people who went
to high school with because they're not married, they a
lot of times don't have serious relationships. But then once
you enter your mid twenties, all of that starts to
break apart. And you're also staring down the idea of
adulthood because you are an adult in your mid twenties
but still not bound by you know, minimal families or children.
(30:05):
But you see that coming right at you.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Right, yes, you do.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
So your mid twenties like this weird period where you've
broken off, this kind of like lonely period where're in
this abyss where you've broken off from your youth and
you see adulthood, and it's like these two things are
slamming in on you. And I wonder. I wonder, like
when you're talking about people in their mid forties, A
lot of people and I'm not saying this is a
(30:29):
good thing, but whether they've been you know, divorced or
you know whatever, their social structures maybe they previously known
oftentimes have split apart and you got to try to
put those back together again.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Right. Well. And another thing that they're saying is contributing
to it, and you could probably guess this if you
thought about it. It's technology. Because you're able to do
so much within your house. You don't have to leave
and go anywhere and have actual face to face conversations
with people. And as you mentioned, when you're in that
(31:00):
mid forty plus range, your children are a little bit
more independent. They don't need you as much. Well, yeah,
that's true. You waited a little longer. But for many
people who had children at a younger age than you.
That becomes their social structure. And when the children get older,
(31:22):
they're not needed as much. Parents aren't needed as much.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, and that's like for me, I always felt this way,
like it's the one thing in my life I did
that worked out exactly as I kind of thought I
was gonna work out. I always picture myself having children older.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Congratulations, Well my wife.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Was much younger and she had to do all the
actual work, you know. I was just there, going, you're
doing a great job, like in terms of actually having
the children, is what I mean. But I always looked
at it like, Okay, you're only young once, so you
might as well get all of your young out of you,
because what are you gonna do so you're wild o
be fifty and go into the bars and like hello children,
Like that's that's not going to happen. So if you
(32:01):
have your whole rest of your life to be a parent,
to be an adult, why would you waste the time
when it's fun to be young with all of these responsibilities. Now,
that maybe a horrible way to view it. Well, and
there's the way I viewed it.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
There's other people that go the opposite way to say,
I want to have children young so that they're grown
and out of the house while I'm still healthy enough
to do stuff.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
And now I'm super jealous of them. Yeah right now,
I'm like, they did it all right.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
So it depends on how you look at it. Now,
according to this AARP study, they said men are more
likely to be lonely than women. Yeah, forty two percent
of men compared to thirty seven percent of women. But
here's the interesting thing. They say, once you hit this
sixty plus mark, the rate of loneliness goes down. So
(32:49):
there's this age between forty five and sixty where the
loneliness epidemic is at its high.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You know, that makes sense because seniors seemed to like
find each other. There are these senior communities, they're senior
organizations like that. That does make sense to me. That
and they do more things that involve people. You're you're
totally out of the you're never out of the parenting game,
but in terms of pless you're me you know, having
your children under your roof or whatever, that would make sense.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Well, and they say that the seniors the sixty plus range,
they don't have a problem connecting people in the grocery
store or just you know, the post office, just random places,
and that fulfills their need for human connection, whereas somebody
who maybe forty five is in a hurry. They're task oriented.
They just want to get in, get out, get the
(33:42):
job done. But if you're sixty plus, you're moving maybe
at a slower pace, and you've got time to stop
and have a small conversation with someone I.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Many years ago, m And you notice, you know, I
don't notice people's appearances. Sure, but once, when I'm at
the time, I did notice pop's appearances.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Right.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
In fact, that's all I noticed people's appearances.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Showing come a long way. I'm glad you've grown.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
The disdain in your voice if you said that.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Yeah, I'm so glad you're growing.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
No growth whatsoever. Anyway, I went on a social rendezvous
with a woman who was a tad bit older than me,
and she was in this sort of age range that
we're discussing here. I was much younger and a genre
for that, right, Sure, it's fine whatever, and so, but
I remember talking to her about what you're throwing down,
(34:36):
what her life was like like, what the existence of
someone single in that age range was like. And I
remember whatever I was late late twenties or whatever, going, Boy,
that doesn't seem all that great to be your age.
I mean the fact that you're here with me, that
should that should be the first red flag, Well what's
(34:57):
going on with you? But I just that stuck with me, like,
I don't think I want to be that.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Well you didn't get that, So congratulations, as.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Long as my wife doesn't kick me out of the house.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Only fun, Yes, behave yourself.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
But you were a social butterfly, I mean in the
sense of a work environment, right, you were around these
people when not to say you're that far removed from
that age, you probably saw that We're like, that didn't
look so great for you.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Are you talking about the what going to the bars?
Speaker 1 (35:25):
You're a radio executive, you were a leader. You were
at these events and you would see these people who
were in the age range that we're talking about here,
who weren't in the stable, loving relationship that you were,
and you probably were like, hmm that, while on the
surface that might seem fun at that age, probably better
to have something a little more stable.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Well, conversely, you can look at it and say, also, wow,
they're having a whole lot of fun. So I think
it really depends on their outlook. Look at them going
out all the time, having a good time.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
If you wear down quicker, Yeah, that's true. I mean
there is there shouldn't be anywhere out with me out
till three, you know what you over?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I think it really depends on your mindset.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
And with that being said, you'll find Tacy downtown Indianapolis.
No tonight.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Huh. All right, let's go home. Thank you, Rob, thank you, Kevin,
thank you for listening. Have a wonderful weekend. We'll catch
you back here Monday. It's Kendilly Casey on ninety three WYBC.
