Speaker 1 (00:10):
And where we go here?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Anything you have a chance against us?

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Mister cowboy gay, what do you like to do?

Speaker 4 (00:18):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (00:19):
I don't play chess.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Screw Feller's play chest.

Speaker 6 (00:23):
They give off to Jonathan Taylor, Chuck cunning its way,
hock to.

Speaker 5 (00:26):
The goal line.

Speaker 6 (00:27):
He's in there, put down.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
Indeed, why Jonathan Taylor?

Speaker 7 (00:33):
Were hints, here's Hannibert into the front court, mishandled it.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
Mcgainst a shot, ns it?

Speaker 6 (00:43):
John. I have never been bedroom to be on the
air with you here in Indianapolis, a place where so
many of my dreams have come.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
True, with the ride with JMV on ninety three five
and one oh seven five the Fan.

Speaker 8 (00:57):
You know, Sunday after the game, you know, when Daniel
went down and then we found out about Riley's knee,
we're kind of like, hey, what are we going to do?
And me and Chris were talking, were like, hey, let's
let's call Philip see see what he says. Called him
Sunday night. We said, hey, what do you think? He said,
Heck yeah, I'm interested. Heck yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:12):
And so he.

Speaker 8 (01:13):
Slept on us to sleep on it, and then Monday
called him back. Monday morning he said, I need to
get up there. I need to get up there and throw,
get in that building, start moving around. So he came
in here through he didn't forget how to throw a football.

Speaker 6 (01:26):
So we did that.

Speaker 8 (01:26):
Monday, and then Tuesday he was in the hotel thinking
it over. He called us. Me and Chris were in
the office. Said what do you think? He said, deg gummant,
let's freaking go shoot.

Speaker 10 (01:36):
I'm not here to stick and save the year or
be a hero by any means. We got to stick
and run the crap, buy of the football and play
defense and do all those things. So if that comes
to be and I'm the one that's out there that's
gonna I'm not here to try to say today, I'm
going to know where I'm limited, and as we.

Speaker 5 (01:52):
Go it will get better.

Speaker 10 (01:53):
The easiest way to eliminate all the things that Mike
can go bad is to stay home. And the only
way to find out can you still do it? To
go try And I really try to keep it that simple.
And so I don't have any concern from the neck
up and I don't have any concern of making a throw.
But again, again, the game's not routs on air.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
I will say this, Philip Rivers and Shane Steichen right
there as we start to show on this Wednesday. Thank
you all for joining us. I do have concerns because
I believe that he's going to be right out there
and playing on Sunday. I have legitimate concerns. But I
would have legitimate concerns regardless. But these concerns are not

(02:34):
so much about what is going to be the outcome,
at least at the very least, And this is not
why they're doing it, because there's a belief there. He's
not jacking around with this just for the heck of it.
He believes he can go out and do it. I
would love for this to transition into a great story,

(02:56):
but rarely do these situations with the Colts ever, and
I mean ever, transition into great stories. This would be
one of the first, if not the first. But at
least there's some interest there. I know everybody was thinking
about Sam Ellinger. I I'd have zero interest there because

(03:19):
he's going to get his clock clean, probably just like
anybody else who's going to be out there on Sunday.
And then who the heck cares about Sam Ellinger? Seriously,
who cares about Sam Ellinger? Like everybody loves Philip Rivers. No,
it shouldn't be that way, but that's the way you

(03:40):
need to look at it until you know, we change
our mind, until you actually see it and you know
he has bum rushed and sacked five times. It throws
a couple of picks or can't get away. Now, he's
never been the most mobile guy ever. When I said
yesterday that Daniel Jones compromise, probably now both Daniel Jones

(04:05):
with the Achilles and with the crack stick probably is
still more mobile than Philip Rivers. So yeah, if you're
under the impression this isn't going to end well, join
the club because it's not going to end well, but
it does give you cemental Like the rest of the
NFL is absolutely all over this, and the outcome is

(04:31):
going to be once again, the Colts are going to
be the laughingstock. Yeah, what else are you going to do?
I can't say anything about being more prepared with a
backup quarterback because I think that's a joke. Anyway, whenever
you're Maine your franchise, in this case with the Colts,
as Daniel Jones was this season, when he goes down,

(04:55):
you're more than likely in the NFL. Unless you're incredibly fortunate,
and we know the cold not incredibly fortunate at anything,
you are going to be screwed. Shout out to Jim Sorgey,
I love him, but they're going to be screwed. Back
in the era of Peyton Manning, in fact, they were screwed.
That's why you ended up with Kerry Collins and Dan

(05:17):
Orlovski or whatever garden variety quarterback you had in that
awful season. Now that was to start the season, you know,
Matt Ryan was to start the season. Carson Wentz was
to start the season. I think what is really funny
about this entire thing is had Philip Rivers been able
to go another year or been maybe I should go
ahead and rephrase, had he been interested in going in

(05:40):
another year, then maybe some things that you would have
liked to have witnessed happened would have already happened. Maybe
now with others making decisions, they would have been on
a better track. Because as the talking in a shout

(06:00):
out to David Byrne, who's going to be in town
in early May at the mere Old National Center, friends,
that is must see concert material right there. But in
the famous words of the talking heads. We are on
a road to nowhere. Right here, that's where we are,

(06:21):
unless all of a sudden you get incredibly fortunate. And
again I would ask you, when was the last time
this organization was even a little bit fortunate. I mean
not even You can't even have two months of fun
around here before that balloon burse and we're back to

(06:43):
the world of screwed. In fact, I don't know how
much fun we can have around here, just really in general,
in anything, Well, everybody walks around with that dark cloud
over their head and slept rock. I'll make fun of
Cincinnati for being that all the time, but that's really
what this place is around here. But again, as I

(07:05):
double back, at the very least, there is going to
be some interest about what happens in Seattle coming up
on Sunday. You may be sacrificing a forty four year
old man that he may be a future Hall of Famer.
He's going to be a Hall of Famer. You'll reset
that clock in another five years. Are going to be
a Hall of Famer. But I don't think he knows

(07:26):
what he's getting into right now, does he?

Speaker 5 (07:31):
Do They?

Speaker 6 (07:34):
Anybody expect Riley Leonard to be out there and Brett
Rippen to be out there. In fact, I hope that
they're not. I kind of want to see how this goes.
You just keept a waiting for it, like the ultimate game.
Anybody ever played a game mass Trap? I guess I'm
saying this because that's where we're going to be coming
up tomorrow on North Keystone for Larsney Bourbon Locks and

(07:55):
Luna's the Alt Tequila Shots. There has never really been
a better board game than the history of board games
than Mousetrap. Maybe Stay Alive, but Mousetrap was awesome. I mean,
you're just you probably know the outcome, but you want
to see it all transpire, don't you that fair to say?
Regarding that board game? Classic board game it is, James,

(08:19):
you ever played mouse Trap?

Speaker 11 (08:21):
I do not know?

Speaker 6 (08:22):
Oh my god, you ever play Stay Alive? No, whenever
you had a game that had marbles in it, either
Steely's or regular marbles, you had me. I don't know why.
It's a marble guy, but true story, this is what

(08:43):
this is going to be like on Sunday. Yeah, Unfortunately,
I think we're all going to get ultimately what we
know we're going to get. But we are all very,
very interested in the path in which we see it transpire.
I will ask you this because we are the most

(09:06):
fair and balanced show out there.

Speaker 7 (09:09):
Now.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
We get knuckleheaded all the time, and I'll get knuckleheaded
later on today. There's no doubt about that. That's a
daily thing. It's my routine. But we are fair and balanced.
Is there anybody out there that believe that this is
going to work? Because if you believe this is going
to work, and it does work, like if everything aligns
for the first time ever, everything comes together and it

(09:37):
does work into a couple of wins and they make
the postseason, I want to make sure I give you
full credit, but I also want to make sure when
I give you full credit, I give you full credit
as knowing to why you believe this is going to work,
because right now it seems much more like and I

(09:58):
like Philip rivers a great deal, But you cannot tell
me this is not more of a comedy routine than
it is something of serious nature. And I know that
everybody's gonna say, well, what is it called an agist?
I mean, hell, I'm fifty five. I'm gonna be fifty
six next week, and there is nobody out there, nobody

(10:20):
among us more than me that wants to turn back
the clock, and I try to every day. I said,
when I'm sixty, I'm gonna have all new parts, like
the six million dollar man in this case, the twenty
nine to ninety five man. Okay, but I want all
new parts. I want to keep this going as long

(10:41):
as I can keep this going because I dig a
good time and there's still a lot of good times to
be offered and to be had out there, and right
now I can view this as one of those. I
don't view this as well. You know what, This could
spring board the Colts into again repositioning into the playoff
picture and really making the playoffs for the first time

(11:02):
since Rivers was here for the first time. I kind
of view this more as Eddie Murphy raw or Eddie
Murphy delirious. He was kind of waiting for the punchline
right here. You want to see who has the best joke,
the best punch line. I hate to feel that way,

(11:24):
but again, until you actually see anything like this working.
And part of the issue is with me is I
have been very down on the offensive line, and I
think rightly so. They couldn't protect a quarterback that was
healthy and then he wasn't. So what are you gonna

(11:45):
do with Philip Rivers? And I know a lot of
the Rivers protection is the quick release, but I often wondered,
whenever you have a quarterback that was compromised like Jones,
why didn't you alter the plan a little bit? Anything
was long and drawn out and running around and escapability
was necessary, mobility was necessary, and none of which is

(12:08):
going to work. And then I would have to ask
the rest of the team. Is everybody on board with this?
How can we not see more out of a couple
of former first round defensive players up front? How can
we not see? And what I mean by more is
I mean anything with lat to pay or pay lot

(12:34):
to I mean anything. And then you have Shavarius Ward,
we learned today goes back on ir You kind of
wonder whether or not this is going to be the
end of the road for him the third time this season.
And he is a guy that clearly cares and has

(12:55):
been struck by a great deal of family tragedy in
the past. You kind of wonder whether a dude like that,
he's a thoughtful, interesting, insightful dude, you know how much
more do you want to push this? And then you

(13:16):
get to thinking about, well, Chris Ballad has always been
firmly against diving deeply into free agency. You know, think
about this for a moment. So he's been against and
we all sit here and I'm right there with you.
I am like the parade leader. I'm like the stork
and animal house. I'm leading the parade down the dead end.

(13:36):
I have been your parade leader and saying, got to
do something different, gotta be different. This isn't working. What
is funny is nothing really has worked. Because when we
all say and then you finally get dive into free
agency for the first time, pay big money. Look where

(13:58):
you are with shar various war to Unfortunately, Hey, you
got a really good team of the first two months
of the season. Do something dramatic to the trade deadline
and really make something happen. Believe in your guys right now.
It's exactly what he did. And look how that's paid

(14:18):
off with Sauce Gardener so far, guy lasted about five minutes.
So I'm just under the impression that nothing works. The
problem the Colts have is in the world of nothing working,
they are stuck. They are mired in that world right now.

(14:39):
And really, what you're going into this weekend is a
microcosm of what is going to be next year two
and ed is crashing your fingers and hoping. And the
first thing's first hoping you get entertained, but then hoping
that something actually works out, because with this particular regime
nothing has has worked. Little entertainment. Hopefully you protect a

(15:07):
forty four year old. Maybe some other guys will wake
up and play and know this to be true. Made
Seattle hasn't a lot of touchdown on what the last
two weeks. Yeah, you think they're gonna show a little
bit of mercy in this situation. Man, They're gonna come
heavy and hard, play after play. It really no matter

(15:30):
who it is, whether it's Philip Rivers or if it's
Riley Leonard or Brett Rippon, that is where we are,
and that is where we are at that. Hey, last night,
if you were watching IU, if you're a basketball player
of any kind, former current Lamar Wilkerson had the night

(15:52):
that we all dream of where everything goes in Now,
I wish that you would have or save that night
for something that was better. Penn State can't beat us,
and they weren't gonna beat us last night either, But
Lamar Wilkerson was awesome. Sixteen of twenty two, ten of
fifteen from distance. Seriously, hang the wash on what I'm

(16:17):
feeling right now. That was from somebody I loved shooting.
That was awesome. That was a display. And I know
you get second thoughts out of this, and the second
thoughts are you wish it was again somebody that was
a lot better than Penn State's a mess. Like you

(16:41):
watch what Dusty is doing with Michigan and they're running
rough shot thirty plus over absolutely everybody. You wish you
could save it for Dusty. My view and I you
basketball so far as this because I was front and
center watching them versus Ausville. We saw them last week
losing Minnesota as well. So they snap a two game

(17:02):
losing skid and get back on track. I mean, rarely
do you see a team put up one hundred, but
one thirteen is nice. And Lamar Wilkerson has one of
the greatest all time games, really the greatest all time
individual performance we have seen. There's something that you can
put together against better teams. My issue is any team

(17:25):
that is athletic or has Biggs IU is going to
have significant issues against and again part of it. And
I'm not downplaying what Wilkerson did and what you did
last night was one thirteen on the board, because that
is impressive. But again, Penn State can't beat us. They stink.

(17:47):
That was fun as hell to watch, though, A fifty
eight and fifty five thumbs up from me. Shout out
to Lamar Wilkerson for the forty four breaking the mark
of Tracey J. Davis and man, you talked about sixteen
of twenty two and ten to fifteen. That is a
dream game for anybody in this state that's ever picked

(18:09):
up a basketball. That's pretty awesome. Boiler Makers Minnesota coming
up later off tonight. We shall talk about that. Ball
State a loser last night as well. We'll talk about that.
Pacers off I think until Friday against Philly on the road.
They go Friday and Sunday Philly on the road, and
then Washington back at home, and obviously the whole philip

(18:31):
Rivers thing, Sarvarius Award goes back on IR. We got
that for you. Chad Brown's going to join us at
the bottom of the hour in case you missed this.
I talked about this yesterday with the news that was
about to break regarding Stephen Daily, and that is true.
Kurt Signetti, you know mention it was some after the
game situation that happened. Now I was told it was

(18:52):
the I don't know if they've gotten specific about this
at patell or tendon situation here, but we talked about
this yesterday and he has done for the remainder of
the season, and that is a significant blow to one
of the if not the highest producers on what has
been an incredible defense. And we talked about yesterday how

(19:16):
much if that ended up being true, that was going
to stink. And unfortunately that ended up being true, and
that's gonna leave a mark. I don't know how you
can get around that. Hopefully they can. We got that
coming up for you as well. Two three nine ten

I have not.

Speaker 6 (23:39):
I got a nice spot carved out.

Speaker 11 (23:42):
From what I can tell on the outside, it looks
like it looks like a little interesting place.

Speaker 6 (23:46):
I love it. Tavern tour stop. Can you imagine doing
a tavern tour stop right there?

Speaker 11 (23:51):
I'd be very convenient.

Speaker 6 (23:52):
I think so too. Andy Moore on Imotive Group Potline,
Speaking of convenient, he's a former NFL defensive player extraordinaire.
He was here in Indy for the Big Ten title game,
so we can hit that and of course covers the
Seahawks as well, one of his former teams. He's on
the Andy Moore Automatic Group pole on. His name is
Chad Brownie joined us last week and he's kind enough

(24:12):
to do it again this week. Chad, thank you for
the time. How are you?

Speaker 3 (24:16):
I am fantastic? Tell you guys.

Speaker 6 (24:18):
Well, I got to ask you right off, Philip Rivers,
how do you think this is going to go? For
the forty four year old quarterback coming back to the
NFL for the Colts and probably playing significant if not
starting on Sunday against the team you've seen a lot
of in the Seahawks this season.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Oh, I love the story of it. Is there a
Disney Indy at the end of this? I don't think so. Yeah,
to come off your couch and try to play NFL
quarterback after being on the couch as long as he's been. Yeah,
can you throw routes on air during the workout? Sure?

(24:58):
Can you manipulate pocket? Can you translate the speed of
the game and process? It just seems like this is
just bound to fail. I understand the relationship between he
and Change. I can I understand the thought of, hey,
you know Riley Leonard, We'll see what he's got with
the bank that needs and so this is probably as

(25:20):
good as a Plan B as they could come up
with at this point of the season. But it's just
really hard to imagine that somehow this has a movie
ending to it where Philip Rivers and the Coasts get
a chance to hoist some trophy at the end of
the name quite unlikely.

Speaker 6 (25:40):
So what you're suggesting, as a former NFL player or
chat is this may be the greatest story ever told.
That there's some positively positivity as an end result Sunday right, it.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
Would have to be one of the greatest stories ever told.
The end that, well, yeah, I just don't see how
that as possible. You know. I laid my career my
last year in New England. It was very similar to
Philip Rivers. I was watching a New England games at
home on my couch. I had been released by the
Patriots earlier that year, and as linebacker got injured, and

(26:17):
I turned to my wife and I said, I bet
you they called me five minutes after this game is over,
And the Patriots called me, and I went back and
played for the Patriots. But the difference was I was
on the Patriots during training camp. I was on the
team earlier that season. I was thirty eight years old.
I wasn't forty four years old. I played the year
before with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I was an actual NFL

(26:40):
football player, not a retile player who's actually spent more
time being dad that he has him prepared to play
an NFL game.

Speaker 6 (26:47):
Yeah, it is, especially the way I mean even more
magnified the way that the offensive line for the Colts
protected or lack thereof, Daniel Jones most recently. And also
so you can attest to this, the way this Seattle
Seahawks defense, especially magnified in the last two weeks, has played.

(27:09):
This just seems like a horrific combination.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
It's certainly not the ideal way you want to come
up in couch and play a football game, even if
you're Riley Leonard. This is not necessarily a defense you
want to face. The kind of pressure that they bring.
You typically only bring four guys, but you don't know
which four it's going to be. They'll have six or

(27:35):
seven or sometimes even eight guys. At the line of scrimmage,
they'll drop out four, but again, what four is it
going to be? So here philip rivers or riding. Lennard
doesn't have a whole lot of experience with Philip Rivers.
You haven't done this in a long time to go
against that defense with their simulated pressure. Again, for the
most part, you know it's going to be four, but
you can't figure out which four it's going to be

(27:56):
to deal with that as your first game. That's got
to be an incredibly upfill battle. And so yeah, again
it's a fun story. It's certainly something great to talk about,
but the chances of this ended up well a very
low percentage for me.

Speaker 6 (28:11):
Now he is Chad Brown, the former nfler, covers the Seahawks,
so also cover the Big Ten title game, of which
we'll get to with IU winning that over Ohio State
Saturday night in just a second. Both sides of the
football Seahawks playing right now. If you're going to compare
them to other teams, for example, not just in the NFC,
but throughout the NFL landscape, how well are the Seahawks

(28:34):
playing presently?

Speaker 3 (28:36):
The Shelves are playing really really well when you have
won i think seven of their last eight, when you
shut out an NFL team, I know it was MaTx
Grosmer under center for the Vikings, but still it's hard
to shut out an NFL team like they did at
home against the Vikings. With a chance now to completely
sweep the AFC South. They're playing really really good football offensively.

(29:01):
You know, Sam Donald has a bit of a turnover issue,
but when that doesn't crop up. They're as difficult as
anybody in the league to do it because they play
good special teams, they play a great brand of defense,
They put pressure on your quarterback. They haven't allowed one
hundred yard rusher in like twenty three games. That's amazing.
And then offensively, they've got a quarterback who can gal

(29:24):
of that. They've got a receiver who with a mismatch
for every defensive back I've seen all year long. And
they've got a run game. While it may not be
super consistent, they can wear you down and they run
the ball physically. So they got a lot of things
going well for them.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
Yeah, I do. And then how about this big magnified
to Chad with the secondary of the Colts being so compromised,
with Sarvarious ward on ir Sauce Gardener being out, I
mean that it makes things look even more severe. I
think going to the Pacific Northwest on Sunday afternoon.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Right, So, not only are we talking about a Seahawks
team that's playing well, not only are we talking about
a stadium that is very difficult for any opposing team
to play in the twelves as they call their fans
out there in Seattle are usually good for a couple
of false starts on the opposing offense. And then yeah,

(30:23):
now you have to talk about the injury situation with
the Colts. We've addressed the quarterback injury situation. Now you
got to talk about to get hit the back, and
so who's going to take Jack and Smith and Gibbrook.
Who's going to take Jason on the various ways they
line them up in the various ways they use them,
that clear connection he has with Sam Darmel, there's no
obvious person in that secretary who is going to be

(30:45):
able to handle him consistently all game long. So yeah,
it just looks like it's going to be a tough
weekend for the Colts and for the Colts fans. This
season started with such promise with Jonathan Taylor and Daniel
Jones and all the great things that they were able
to do, the force bucking up front of the defense,

(31:07):
and things were all going in the right direction. And
now here late in the season, things are starting to
all fall apart, and it's just got to be a
frustrating situation.

Speaker 6 (31:16):
We're all involved, all right, did Chad Brown joins us
give us a little insight on what the Colts might
be able to cobble together to get something done coming
up on Sunday. I mean what you would what I
guess the Seahawks could most fear in the Colts hanging
around and maybe cashing in surprisingly enough on Sunday. What

(31:38):
would that be?

Speaker 3 (31:40):
Well, I mean, you've got pieces in place. So if
Jonathan Taylor were to break the see off street and
get a one hundred yard game, be able to have
some time of possession, be able to control the temple
of the game, and if you run the ball, well,
guess what, now you can go play action. You got
to tie in, and Tyler Warren, who can catch the
ball and be effective with some yards, got to catch.

(32:03):
So if you're thinking about either Riley Leonard or Philip Rivers,
you want to earn the ball off Jonathan Taylor, and
then you want to tie You want to tie in
in the middle of the fields. Is going to make
easy throws, easy completions for you. So those two pieces
together right there, if they're able to get that combination going,
that's a difficult day for a lot of NFL defenses,

(32:24):
even if good as the Seahawks are playing. So there's
that factor and then we've talked about it earlier. Sam
Donald can go on a run of turnovers, he can
have a four interception game, he can have some poor
ball security in the pocket and fumble it. I saw
Minnesota Vikings blitz being very effective. Despite the Seahawks having

(32:46):
a lead in that game and getting some defensive scores,
the offense never really got going against the Vikings, so
they were able to get pressure on Sam Donald, they
gottor more than a few times they got the ball out.
So there's certain things can be capitalized on by this
Colt's team to get a victory. Again, just like the

(33:07):
Philip Rivers situation, not being a high chance for success,
these things I just listed here, all these followed into
place where the Colts likely probably not I wouldn't give
it a high chance for success either.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
All right, Chad Browns with us before I'll let you go.
You were there to witness its Are you there winning
the Big Ten title game overall Ohio State. Let's start
with the defense, because obviously you come from that side
of the football. How impressed were you with what are
you accomplished against Ohio State of the offense Saturday night?

Speaker 3 (33:40):
So I had a chance to do IU in the
Illinois earlier this season, and I left that game thinking,
this is the best team I've seen all year. And
then as the season went on, I went to Alabama
and called multiple al Alabama games and Oklahoma games and
all all of the tops of college football outside of

(34:02):
Ohio State, and I said, this defense is legit. They're
able to deal with a top team in the country
from a physical standpoint, which I didn't think they were
up to task last year, but this year they were.
And this offense and Fernandum and those are can score points.
And the special teams issues that plagued them in the

(34:22):
playoffs last year, they seemingly have fixed a lot of
those as well. So I gave them a great chance
to win this game against Ohio State, and then that
defense really held up its into the bargain. They outside
of a couple of splash plays to Jeremiah Smith, Ohio
State could not get anything going whatsoever. And so Indiana

(34:44):
is an amazingly well coached football team that can win
in all three phases weekend in week out.

Speaker 6 (34:51):
Does Mendoza win the Heisman Chad?

Speaker 3 (34:54):
I would have to think so. I would have to
think so. But Obviously there was a lot hinging on
the outcome of this gamp against Ohio State and which
quarterback found a way to play the best. So Mendoza
I think has probably field it up. Considering where Indiana's rank,
what a big part he's been to it some of
his early year games where he's you know, nineteen of

(35:16):
twenty and twenty of twenty three and amazing completion percentages
like that, it seems like the trophy should be hit.

Speaker 6 (35:24):
All right, what chance do you get on you as
far as the playoff is concerned to move forward and
maybe try to win it all.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
I think they've got enough weapons to really get this,
get this done. When you got Cooper interrat on the outside.
You know, Charlie Becker doesn't have great numbers, but he
seems to step up in big games what most needed.
He was huge against Ohio State. Again, they play good defense,
which if they're forced to, you know, win a close game,

(35:58):
a possession game, a time of his game. I can
think they can do that and Leena on their defense,
and but the shootout there's enough weaponsery on offense. And
then when it comes down to coaching, which coach is
going to make the key move at the right time.
I got a lot of trust in Kirk and Yate,
so I give them probably the number one chance to

(36:19):
end the season as number one and win the CFP.

Speaker 6 (36:22):
It's incredible right there. Chad Brown, the former nfler works
with the Seahawks, does Compass Media Networks too, as he
was in town last weekend and awesome to us our
good friend from Arizona on the Andymore Automotive Group file line.
We shall keep in touch and see what happens coming
up on Sunday, and hopefully Philip rivers when he does play,

(36:43):
because he will stay somewhat upright. Hopefully, Yes, that would
nice come out of that game, Okay.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
I would love the story to keep going, so hopefully
that works out chat.

Speaker 6 (36:59):
Thank you very much. He's always mad in the past
two weeks. It's been awesome. Thank you. Chad Brown on
the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline, so he set records

Ninety three to five and one oh seven five the fan.
This is Chicago from the nineteen seventies. Everybody shut out
to you. Peter Stara hit that note. Woo Hey, I

(41:14):
don't know about this. I'm ready to get the hell
out of here. Seriously, I'm ready to go. The final
day in this studio and I think everybody else is
going to be in the new studio coming up tomorrow,
except I'm going to be at the mouse Trap on Keystone,
and then I'm going to be at the Pot in Greenfield,
the Depot. I cannot wait. Bud Light Blue Friday, Friday

(41:36):
at the Depot in Greenfield, and tomorrow Larsney Bourbon Locks,
Lunazuela tequila shots, the Legendary mouse Trap, and then I'll
be in the new studios coming up on Sunday with
the Colts pregame huddle. What time's that start? Like one
thirty something like that. I believe so one thirty Colts
pregame Huddle me, Bill Brooks, Casey Valier coming up with
the team on the road in Seattle, JMVA. This is

(42:01):
from a text line three one, seven, two, nine, ten
seventy from Dave in Beach Grove. I'm not sure the
crowd is the living room is your demographic? Hey, Dave,
let me tell you this, and this is from experience.
This is not patting myself on the back, tooting my
own horn or anything like that. But every crowd is
my demographic. I fit in anywhere anytime. Now. I will

(42:26):
say this The only time it may be a square
peg in a round hole is if I'm around a
bunch of horses asses, and then I won't fit in there.
If you're a jackass, or let's just say, for example,
you're in a room full of jackasses, I'm not going
to fit in. That's it. And you guys all know

(42:48):
the types of folks I'm talking about. But if you're
in a room, a place, a destination, a location where
you want to have a good time, damn straight on
to fit in. It will be our new place about
a mile north of where I sit right now and
where I sit right now for a final time in

(43:10):
the building on the Circle downtown. And he's already done
his final time. He's from the fan morning, so he
along with Jeff Rickard and James Boyd Kevin Bowen's on
the Dymore Auto Motive Group hotline. How'd it feel being
a last time we're in this building today, buddy.

Speaker 4 (43:28):
Boy, I'm not gonna lie. I just kind of assumed
that we'd be back in there tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (43:34):
I'm sorry, let me get that out. Go ahead, continue.
I had to laugh. That's good.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
Yeah, I will miss it. I am a big fan
of working downtown. I'm a big fan of how fortunate
we are. I think to call life on the Circle home.
And even though our view has changed.

Speaker 6 (43:56):
Now, this building stings. I'm ready to.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
Go over the Circle. I'm gonna miss it. I'm gonna
miss the downtown parking. Honestly, I'm gonna miss the book
of to Bepo Aroma.

Speaker 6 (44:07):
I will miss the party. Hey, i will miss the
centralized parking, There's no doubt about that. But you know
the other stuff, I'm good to go, and I'm gonna
tell you what you're gonna absolutely love. I don't know
if you've been been in the building yet for a
little tour, but you're gonna love what that thing looks
like and what they're gonna do to it. Promise.

Speaker 4 (44:26):
Yeah. I went in there last week and it is
super nice. I mean, it's definitely nice and what we
got right now, so yeah, that aspect is cool. And
I do think you know, it's spacious in the studio,
so you know, we got four of us in there
in the morning. Yeah, it seems like at times we're
all breathing on each other. So you get dyked in

(44:47):
alone in his own little room, trussing buttons and doing
his thing. I pray for that that room. But uh yeah,
me Jeff and James will have some nice spacious leg
room if you will. So yeah, I'm looking forward to it,
you know.

Speaker 6 (45:01):
And keV I also they were kind enough. I don't
know if you noticed this. In the middle seat in
our new studio. They they installed a banana seat like
the Huffey that jeff Rickord normally rides, so he'll feel
he'll feel right at home there. Now, finally, I'll tell
you what I did.

Speaker 4 (45:19):
Walk into the new studio up there and thought to myself, Man,
Jeff could fit his speed bike is Endurance Bike, all
his bikes with how much room is up there? So yeah,
seven am tomorrow, I guess I hope there's hope. There's
a lot of engineers in there ready to help us.

Speaker 6 (45:34):
Speaking of Endurance Bike, And this is not a shot
because I'm very interested in Sunday, but it is clear
to me that maybe Philip Rivers has not been on
one here recently. Is that true? I think is fair
to say? Is it fair to say?

Speaker 4 (45:53):
I think the dad bot is surveying Uncle Phil quite
quite well.

Speaker 11 (45:56):
You know.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
A few weeks back I decided to consume.

Speaker 4 (45:59):
A large amount of Donato's pizza one night and thought
to myself, ma'am, I might not move from this couch
for about three hours.

Speaker 6 (46:07):
And yeah, not gonna lie.

Speaker 4 (46:09):
When I saw Uncle Phil today, that was the first
thought that went through my head. So I believe he's
a little north of his plane weight since he last
put on a uniform. But as Philip Rivers accurately said today,
and only the way he can say it, it ain't
like I ever ran away from anybody anyways.

Speaker 6 (46:27):
So there you go. Yeah, I just as much as
I really want to love this, and I know you
do too, because we want the interest, and believe me,
you and I both we would like to see some
really fun stuff happen with this group, because clearly with
that start, you feel like they deserve more as they're

(46:48):
circling the drain or now down the drain right now.
But I can't get past how badly this is going
to end, because we have, I think, such evidence of
the past just about you know, these types of circumstances,
how badly it normally does end.

Speaker 4 (47:06):
Yeah, I mean there's zero, zero precedent whatsoever of the
you know of anything of this magnitude and you know
it already was spiraling, you know, outside of the playoff picture,
and you know you had other injuries, not just Daniel
Jones related, but you know that game obviously wasn't trending

(47:28):
towards a win when Jones even got hurt. So yeah,
it's just it feels a bit inevitable, uh, maybe entertaining
over the final four weeks and watching Philip Rivers try
to attempt something unprecedented. I mean there is an element
of like if you just lived in a vacuum, John,
Really there are a lot of scenarios out there where
the Colts to make the playoffs with just two more wins.

(47:50):
And you know when you say that two out of
four wins, two out of four games being a win,
that's not that ludicrous of a thought. But of course
you look at the schedule, you look at the quarterback situation,
that's where it becomes, you know, really really daunting.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
And you know, I.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
Know, Shane second Philip Rivers, they you know, still definitely
expressed you know, questions and and I think he gets it,
but I also think he's here too just football obsessive
individuals that really believe that they can chefs match their
way into we'll find advantages pre snap, we'll get into
the right play. And as soon as I know it's
a bad play, all dirt it all, you know, go

(48:27):
in the fetal position. But there's part of me it's like, man,
that sounds good. And have you seen Seattle's defense play
They haven't allowed a touchdown last two weeks.

Speaker 6 (48:36):
Yeah, it's just a really bad I think everything around
this seems to be to be bad, and especially I
think it's magnified considering the way the Colts have been playing.
And let's go all the way back to the Pittsburgh game.
It kind of seemed like that the Steelers gave everybody
a bit of a peak behind the curtain. And for

(48:58):
the most part since that point in tell this thing
has not been the same.

Speaker 4 (49:03):
No, no, again, it was strending I think in this direction. Obviously,
you look at a run game. You know you've lost
four or five literally every loss you haven't been able
to run it with Taylor, So that's been a correlation.
And then I think lately you're starting to see more
and more, you know, red flags from a defensive standpoint,
and you know, the inability to win one on one

(49:24):
pass rush opportunities, more big plays. You know, all of
that I think has added up for you. So again,
you've lost four or five, you know, your eighth right
now in the playoff picture, that game on Monday night
was huge in terms of a blow to your playoff chances.
I mean, you need the Chargers to lose. Weirdly enough,

(49:44):
the Philip Rivers connection is spun in the different direction
with how that is right now. So yeah, I I
you know, there is part of me that I don't
necessarily look at this in the Jeff Saturday light because
I think when you're down three quarterbacks, there's a level
of desperation.

Speaker 6 (50:01):
Like basically word debating.

Speaker 4 (50:02):
Would you rather see Philip Rivers place Sunday or Brett Rippin?
And if Brett Rippon's last name was Bowen, people would say,
you know Rippin, obviously people know that last name. But
like there's just there's a little hope when you turn
to your fourth quarterback.

Speaker 6 (50:17):
Or Heineke or Ritter or you know somebody like that
that would give us. And really I felt the same
way about sam Ellinger because sam Ellinger I think would
get similar, if not worse results. So I would at
least would rather be entertained, if that's fair to say.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
Yeah, I mean there is part of me that like
the Riley Leonard thing is curious to me, you know
if you look at it. And I don't know if
the cult is sent out their injury for yet or not,
but rather Leonard practiced today, he said that he would
not have limitations. So part of me is like, well,
you know, in ninety nine out of one hundred instances,

(50:58):
if you're starting quarter back practices on a Wednesday, that
dude is playing in the game. So I have come
around to like the Leonard might not be as hurt
I think as we thought earlier in the week. I
just think shame sichen is caught up in the Philip

(51:19):
Rivers aura. You know, maybe isn't the best statement to use,
but I think he sees the team right now.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
It's lost four or five.

Speaker 4 (51:26):
They need juice, and he feels like Philip Rivers will
give juice at least until the ball's kicked off on Sunday.

Speaker 6 (51:34):
I just don't know what juice you think you're going
to get unless he actually plays. And I don't know
why Philip Rivers would jack with it unless he has
assurances that he's going to play. That's the only stuff
that makes sense to me.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
Yeah, I mean, I think it'll be Philip Rivers starting,
I guess to clarify, but I also assume that Riley
Leonard wasn't practicing today, Like I was surprised to hear
that he was practicing. I figured there was a health
component that was playing into this a little bit more
with Leonard. But you know, again based off what he
said today, he had no limitations. I don't know if

(52:11):
he'll be listening as full or not, but yeah, it's
you know, bad aspect to it. I think this kind
of adds to they are all in on the Philip
Rivers is going to be the starting quarterback on Sunday,
and every sign that I have seen here over the
last few days points to that.

Speaker 6 (52:29):
Try host for the Fan Morning, so a lot of
Jeff Rickard and James Boyd. I guess I should say
quadruple host, Mark Dykin too. Kevin Bowen's on the Andy
Moore out of Motive Proof Potline. This show weekday mornings,
Monday through Friday, seven until ten am on ninety three
to five and one oh seven five Fan. I refuse
to believe that people say all the time, well, this

(52:50):
is just Ballard and Steychen trying to save their gig.
I honestly, and I said this before. I think that
mid season trade deadline deal kind of say their gig
I did. I mean, I thought, all right, if they
were if really, if Carly orsa Gordon in ownership, if
they were worried about this moving forward, there was zero

(53:13):
way you part with two first rounders in the fashion
in which they did for Sauce Gardiner, even if you're
in the moment living in the euphoria of greatness, which
that's exactly how that was team playing, you know, getting
off to a seven and one start. So I don't
think this is a result of a general manager and
a head coach trying to bring somebody in, crossing their
fingers and hope they can remain at the helm. Do you.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
Yeah, I thought the trade sent the message that everybody
would be back.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
That's what I thought.

Speaker 4 (53:43):
Now, you know, as you get away from the trade
and as you assess the situation and if this plays
out in the manner that it is like if I
told you at the start of the year, John, the
Colts will have a playoff collapse or I guess an
in season collapse to miss the playoffs like the NFL

(54:04):
hasn't seen for over a decade, you would have thought, well,
there's no chance that everyone is back for twenty twenty six,
and right now, that's where it's going. I mean, it
is going in the direction of the biggest in season
collapse to miss the playoffs that we've seen in the
NFL for over a decade. So you know, there is
that aspect of like the further we get removed from

(54:26):
the trade and just the general you know, you for
if you will, the seven to one start, will any
of that start to be the most recent feeling, because
you know, probably all human beings we react most out
we're feeling in those recent you know times in the NFL.
It seems like eons agill that this team was seven

(54:47):
and one and going to play Pittsburgh and again, you
know you could say that really, I mean, they were
out of the playoffs when Daniel Jones got hurt. You know,
it's not like you can just say at the end
of the year, hey, if the team missed the playoffs,
It's not like you.

Speaker 6 (55:02):
Can say, well, they could say he was compromised though.

Speaker 4 (55:06):
Well sure, but you know again, part of that is
life in the NFL. I mean, will might be a
playoff team with you know, Davis Mills, you know, having
started and won three games. So I don't I don't
know if I completely uh will go for that excuse,
So it would be quite something if.

Speaker 6 (55:23):
No, I don't think they have to go for it
at all, Buddy, I think they'll use it. I just
don't think we have to go for it, and I'm
sure of us won't.

Speaker 4 (55:31):
Yeah, yeah, it'll be quite something though if this plays
out and goes in the direction that is currently going
and you've missed the playoffs and you know, for you
to survive the biggest collapse you know again an NFL
team has had in season and over ten years like

(55:51):
that gets added to the resume, like I think this
all was at the start of the year. For you know,
Ballad and Psychon to be back, well, that means you
had to have added something positive to the resume, I e.
A division title, finally being over i e. You know whatever,
a playoff appearance, a playoff win, and really the only
thing positive is really good first two months of the season.

(56:13):
You ended the week one curse and about it I.

Speaker 6 (56:16):
Just think there are so many things you can get
into that makes the likability, I mean, really, the success
rate of what you'd even look at for the next
couple of years kind of looks like you and I
and like the old school Jay Arthur's Hot Bod contest
on a Thursday night, you know what I mean. It's just, yeah,
you just kind of look at it as and I

(56:38):
hate to say it this way because it's been a
long time coming, and there are so many different turns
this could have taken, where Chris is no longer here,
or Shane is no longer here, or we're not going
through all these quarterback situations as what we've gone through,
so many different avenues that could have been taking or
things that could have happened. I just don't think this

(56:59):
is going to be one one of those massive changes
that we we ultimately see. I guess my mind could
change if this thing turns into an absolute disaster, but hell,
I think that's what we're standing in right now.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
Yeah, I mean I will sit here and say I
have no idea how carl Arcay Gordon is going to react,
just because I mean, I know Carly a little.

Speaker 6 (57:18):
I've never no evidence of it too. I mean, you
had evidence of Jim. You don't have evidence here.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (57:23):
Yeah, there's just no past precedent with her.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
But again, her.

Speaker 4 (57:28):
Signs in the season would point to this discontinuing, and
you know, I don't. I'm a little torn on the well,
you know, if Carly sits in her office at the
end of the year and she debates this of a
you know, part of the reason I'm going to run
it back is because I think it's a disservice to
the new regime to give them, you know, rebuilding papers

(57:52):
without two first round picks, Like I mean, is that smart?
Is that not smart? Does that all of a sudden
indirectly be Oh that's good news for you know, Ballad
and Psyching again, are they grouped together? Would they opt
for the one like kind of weird rare occurrence where
you you know, Soday buy to the GM, but let

(58:12):
the new GM evaluate the head coach outside of San
Francisco with John Like and Kyle Shanahan. Those scenes that
never really work. So probably not like you know, all
these questions that you know, we probably didn't need a
debate in recent months, they're not like back on and
you know, it really started to transpire once Daniel Jones

(58:34):
went down on Sunday.

Speaker 6 (58:34):
Yeah, by the way, and preparing for Sunday to sauce
Gardner no participation the calf, Brayden Smith, Nick and concussion.
As keV mentioned, Riley Leonard was back in fullth to
day deforce. Buckner limited that first practice in a month
as you reference to, and we'll see about his possible

(58:55):
return on Sunday, and Sharvarius Ward goes on ir and
make you wonder whether or not we're ever going to
see or the NFL where ever see the likes of
him again considering his circumstances and a couple of things
also makes you wonder. You know, Chris Ballad has always
been set against really diving deeply into free agency, and

(59:15):
clearly with Ward that hasn't paid off this season. That
trade deadline deal, which he hasn't done a lot of,
if anything, of significantly speaking, that has been a hamstringer
for the future. So it's weird how I wanted every
bit of it. I mean, I welcomed all that in
but it has really really dissembled any sort of progress

(59:38):
you can possibly see with this group moving forward.

Speaker 4 (59:41):
Yeah, I mean I do think cam Binen has been
an unquestioned hit and that is something that this team
needed to find stability at safety and so major credit
to Chris Ballard for that.

Speaker 2 (59:52):
Obviously.

Speaker 4 (59:53):
The Ward situation, yeah, I don't think you can really
be too too critical of it. I mean some really
want to nitpick and say, well, whatever, he's dealt with
a lot and he was getting older in age. I
don't know. I think that's super highsight twenty twenty and
a bit unfair. But you know, as far as Ward
is concerned, yeah, I mean I can't recall John and

(01:00:13):
maybe Austin Colley would fit into this boat, but I
can't recall last time the Colts have had a player
inconcussion protocol three times in three months.

Speaker 6 (01:00:20):
So yes, I.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
Think unfortunately, the future question of him putting on an
NFL uniform again is there, And you know, unfortunately, I
do think at times those sorts of decisions for pro athletes,
particularly NFL players, where they're at in their careers matter
in regards to some of that. And if you look
at Ward, he's twenty nine years old and he signed

(01:00:42):
two big time contracts in the NFL. You know that
might be different if you're the twenty three year old
undrafted free agent who whatever you know, didn't come for
much and it needs to turn this professional career into
a lot.

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
So again, those are.

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
Probably conversations for later in the year, but just day,
just awful news on that. And you know, if you
want to speak to Sunday, you're facing the best receiver
in football without you know, Mooney Ward obviously, and it
looks like Sauce Gardner will miss the second week.

Speaker 6 (01:01:11):
Kevin Bowen Andy More out of an out of group hootline.
So Daniel Jones looking ahead, I said this earlier this week.
I felt that all three would be back, but clearly
he's not going to get the amount of money that
we once thought he was going to get. However, if
you're the Colts, do you even mess with it at all?
And I'm not even talking about how long it's going
to take him to get back, But he does have

(01:01:32):
a scroll of injury history here that maybe in this case,
this may be it in terms of what the Colts
might be thinking with Daniel Jones, where are you with this?

Speaker 4 (01:01:45):
Yeah, I think that's the one aspect to all of
this that you go back to that trade for Sasce Gardner.
And when you made that move, you indirectly told all
of us we have unbelievab will believe in Daniel Jones.
And at that point, and I get there were time
constraints on it because the trade deadline was coming up, obviously,

(01:02:07):
but at that point, Daniel Jones had played two months
of good football, and if you look at his career,
he's really never made it to Thanksgiving of a season,
either playing good football to the point where he didn't
get benched or was healthy enough. Now this year that
lasted what you know, a week after Thanksgiving, two weeks
after Thanksgiving. So that to me is the one element

(01:02:29):
of the trade that you know, even when it occurred,
it was like, oh boy, you're really going off of
a small Daniel Jones sample size to make that move.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
And I get it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:39):
You know, in two months, you know, when the off
season got here, maybe the Jets wouldn't have said that
trade was possible for you. So I understand that, you know,
not everything can happen on your watch, but Daniel Jones
is just the only thing consistent about his career to
this point has probably been injuries. And you know, unfortunately

(01:03:00):
he had some at Duke as well. So I do
think you can't ignore that. I think it would certainly impact,
you know, contract negotiations, all of those things. So yeah,
I do think that's a real, real part of the conversation.
I really should be.

Speaker 6 (01:03:13):
Well, unfortunately you and I were talking about this yesterday.
Stephen Daily is out of the college football Playoff with
that injury sustained. I guess after the game on Saturday,
the effect in closing here that has on IU and
what was a terrific defensive effort and a terrific defense
the entire year, and your thoughts on the Hoosiers presently
and moving forward into the Rose Bowl coming up on

(01:03:36):
New Year's Day.

Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
Well, I mean, let's start their defense. I mean I
said a Monday, I think. I know, Mendoza is probably
one of the heistan. I think I think their defense
is the most impressive aspect of their team, and in
particular it's probably that D line group, and Daily has been,
you know, really the the leader of the group. I
don't think that Camara has had as good of a
year as he had last year, so you know, and

(01:03:59):
trying to place him, you know, maybe Kamara has been
a little banged up. Does the you know, three weeks
off help him. You know, they do have a lot
of bodies and there are a lot of good players,
you know, whether it's Tucker or Wheeler, you know, even
some of the guys that they so then I lost
kelln Wyatt for the year, but there's a lot of
defensive line them that they do have, and I think
Pat Coons has done an outstanding job, you know, with

(01:04:19):
that group. But still, I mean, it is a definite loss.
And this is kind of part of now what I
think gets tested in the new era of college football
and what and what tests you as a program of
you know, can you withstand the sixteen whatever seventeen game
grind of it? Like when Notre Dame got the national

(01:04:40):
title last year, I think they were down seven starters
and to all Americans, like, I mean, that's a lot
to get all the way to the national title. But
that's part of it now, was having to play you know,
three four extra games against really good teams where you're
not resting guys in the fourth quarter. Obviously, the daily
thing was just a horrific freak accident and honestly one

(01:05:00):
of the worst injuries I've ever seen. When you consider
how it happened there. So they've even's been great all
year and again their d line room is probably the
one room that has a lot of depth to a standard.
But still I don't want to undermind how great.

Speaker 6 (01:05:12):
He's been keV. Tomorrow morning, you guys are going to
be on a new building, the new studio. How are
you feeling? Can out wait?

Speaker 4 (01:05:20):
Yeah, I mean, as long as everything's working good, and
I'm gonna miss the downtown parking, I'm gonna miss just
being in a little bit of the hustle and the
bustle of it all. But I will say that a
studio looks modern twenty twenty five, and I'm looking forward
to it.

Speaker 6 (01:05:36):
I went in there earlier and logged on every computer
in the studio and downloaded porn for you guys tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (01:05:44):
Well, I have a feeling, like I said earlier to you,
Mark Dyton solo in his own little studio is going
to be dangerous for the Internet browsers.

Speaker 6 (01:05:51):
So yeah, he bring his kids again, and they can
even plug a bunch of stuff that'd be cool I
forgot about. But all right, by the way too, I
know you along with me and James as well, Spencer Thompson.
Thompson Furniture in Columbus made us all yetti thermises, and

(01:06:13):
I picked out what I felt was your favorite team.
I got you Notre Dame. I got dked In the Bears,
James Boyd Illinois and Banana Snee. I got him the Broncos.
So I think everybody's happy, thrilled.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
I texted Spencer earlier thanked him.

Speaker 6 (01:06:31):
That's awesome, thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:06:34):
I told you on air, and that's one of my
favorite gifts. I've got a beautiful little water jug that
I usually drink has pictures of my kids on and
they might have to take the backseat after this. Not
her Dame yety, So thank you to Spencer for that.

Speaker 6 (01:06:46):
That's awesome, buddy. I'm glad you like it very much,
and we'll see you in new studios.

Speaker 4 (01:06:52):
John will see you tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (01:06:54):
Kevin Bowen fan morning show, he Jeff rich Or James
Boyd Weekday morning seven until ten am. Shout out to
Nathaniel Finch right there, who knows all my passwords, all
my numbers, all my life. James is over there as well.
Quick break. We'll come back your calls at two, three, nine, ten, seventy,
a little snappy some calls here thoughts on Rivers first

(01:07:15):
back with the Colts earlier today at practice. After that
press conference, we'll talk with you about that as well.
Three pe seven two nine ten seventy. That is the
text line in boomer Assiason coming up at the top
of the hour, sit tight, ninety three to five, one
oh seven five the fan.

Speaker 5 (01:07:34):
The ride with JMV.

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
The cream here, the cream of the crop, and there
is no one that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:43):
Does it better.

Speaker 5 (01:07:44):
Ninety three five and one oh seven five the fan.

Speaker 6 (01:07:53):
James over there having John. We uh celebrate our last
day in this studio as we move of a mile
north on Meridian to the Saint Joseph Studios. I'll hit
that coming up on Sunday. In fact, I'm on the
road tomorrow on Friday, so my first time in there
is coming up on Sunday. Thank you for indulging us

(01:08:14):
with a little bit of fifteen years for me being here,
which been absolutely awesome. But I am good to go
to move on for sure. Now for the Smiley bros.
That are asking to be able to tailgate in and
around the area, Hey, it's all right with me. Get
the living room lounge right next door. Hell, we can
all go in that parking lot and do a little tailgating.

(01:08:36):
I think if we want true story, Jamv, I'm legit
concerned for Rivers his health and well being. This isn't
the forty four year old guy getting off the couch
to play pickleball and ending up with a pulled hamstring.
This man is going to get hit, and I mean
hit hard. Michael. I have a legitimate concern right there

(01:09:02):
with you. Unfortunately, I don't know because he is a
grown man making a grown man's decision here at forty four.
I kind of weigh the option that I have. I
have concern, but I have interest that may be even higher,
And I know the interest really doesn't have a lot
to do with winning or losing either. I understand that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:09:25):
The interest I think falls in the category of this
from Matty Matt. The phillip Rivers thing looks like a
clown show. What do they know that we don't. They
know and like him and trust him, and they like

(01:09:47):
him better than any of the available dudes that are
out there. Matty Matt, that is my lone explanation. I'm
going to tell you this. If he goes out there
and performs well or performs enough to keep minute. It
is going to be one of the greatest stories ever told.
No hyperbole here, only the truth. One of the greatest

(01:10:07):
stories ever told. It will be, you know, not so
much at the level of IU and the renaissance under
Kurt Signetti, the Walter Camp Award winner back to back
years for Coach of the Year, which is amazing. Shout
out to the head coach of AU Kurt Signetti. But
it's going to be right there in legend in terms

(01:10:32):
of the NFL. But yeah, I mean I would tend
to agree outside of the entertainment value. I'm with you.
Anthony's a two, three, nine, ten seven, Anthony, start this
hour off the right way. Brother, What do you got well?

Speaker 13 (01:10:48):
Cloud show is exactly what came to mind. So it's
just funny that you mentioned that right before you put
me on. How's this any different than what Pops did
was Saturday? I thought this was a gym thing throwing
the dark It is equal. It's it's look, we could
all be wrong. Bill could go out there and he

(01:11:10):
could complete, you know, half of his passes.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
He's not going to score any points.

Speaker 7 (01:11:16):
How is he going to avoid any kind of have
you seen.

Speaker 13 (01:11:20):
I'm not this is rhetorical obviously, but that Seattle defense
is nasty.

Speaker 6 (01:11:25):
Yeah. They haven't a lot of touchdown on one two weeks.
Now when they get after the quarterback, yeah, it's gonna
get it has the potential to get ugly.

Speaker 4 (01:11:33):
Yeah, I just I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
Look, man, we're all fans.

Speaker 13 (01:11:38):
We all thought at seven and one that this was
something special. And brother, the curse of cutting Peyton Manning,
That's the only thing I can blame this on.

Speaker 12 (01:11:48):
It's all I fall back to.

Speaker 13 (01:11:49):
We thought luck was the dude.

Speaker 14 (01:11:51):
And.

Speaker 13 (01:11:53):
Yeah, look at us now, thank you, brother, You know
I love you.

Speaker 5 (01:11:57):
Man in the studio, it'll stay.

Speaker 13 (01:12:00):
You would love the downtown veteran. You're gonna love the
living room lounge and you fay right, I'll tell you.
I don't know what end of the week they do it.
They do karaoke, and I've been quite a few times
in my younger years and it was a good time.

Speaker 11 (01:12:13):
Man.

Speaker 6 (01:12:13):
Hey, Anthony, have you ever heard me do my rendition
of the Devil went down to Georgia for karaoke?

Speaker 13 (01:12:19):
No, but I will definitely meet you at the lounge
for that's right.

Speaker 6 (01:12:24):
I'll do that I'll do it for you, Thanks, Anthony.
I am the late Charlie Daniels is legendary, but man,
my rendition is outstanding. And I'll use SLB instead of
so og. Once upon a time I had Charlie Daniels
on this show to ims and he was always embarrassed

(01:12:46):
about using SLB instead of s OG. True story. See,
we've got We've got a lot of name calling going
on here, and I'm chief among them. At three on seven,
ten seventy, this texture says, Matty Matt is a clown.
Matty Matt, You're a clown. According to this person. Somebody

(01:13:11):
ripped me and I called that person a dumbass, So
I'm right there too. The name got a lot of
name calling going on. You guys want to do that
inside or text line three one seven two three nine,
ten seventy. There's a lot of name calling I can
get into. I hold my own in terms of name calling.

(01:13:34):
Michigan five the head coach. Huh, speaking of Michigan head coaches,
I'm not talking about Dusty May, but speaking of Michigan
head coaches, Dusty May, what a start to the season.
Has anybody else noticed in college basketball or Is this
just me? Has anybody else noticed? It almost seems like

(01:13:57):
every game is a blowout, and even when you get
top twenty matchups, it seems like it's a blowout. Is
that just me? Has anybody else been privy to more
than a handful of close games so far in this
college basketball season? It seems like every single game that
I watch is a blowout, and not just like a

(01:14:19):
ten point but like a massive blowout. I cannot be
the only one that has noticed that, Am I true?
I don't name calling going on in here? Two, three, nine, ten, seventy.

(01:14:40):
John is next, John, Welcome to the show. Thank you
for the call. John.

Speaker 12 (01:14:46):
First, let me start by saying, I miss doing the
scoreboard with you at the pack.

Speaker 6 (01:14:52):
Oh oh yes, that was way back in the day
right there the Pacers Athletic Center. You know that, John, It.

Speaker 12 (01:15:00):
Was always except on the fouls.

Speaker 6 (01:15:03):
Now, come on, I spread the fowls around. But I
was I was honest. I was honest about it. I
think my daughter ended up one game with like nine fowls.

Speaker 12 (01:15:15):
Yeah, number number eight killed us on with the mid
range jumper.

Speaker 1 (01:15:20):
Number A.

Speaker 6 (01:15:21):
Number eight was out there still still eligible with nine
fowls too. That was awesome.

Speaker 12 (01:15:26):
Oh yeah, Hey, I don't blame you, but you probably
won't remember me, but it was a lot of.

Speaker 3 (01:15:31):
No I do.

Speaker 6 (01:15:31):
Actually, it's funny I remember, especially when you explain it
that way. I have a really good memory with folks.
And and like I said, for me to think that
somebody is a horse's ass, you have to be a
real I mean, a true horses ass, because I can
get along with anybody. Man, So I absolutely remember you.

Speaker 12 (01:15:51):
You were a good, good dude. Loved the show, and
I'm always very positive. But can I have permission to rant.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
For a few seconds?

Speaker 6 (01:15:59):
I think you should us.

Speaker 12 (01:16:01):
Okay, so typical story season ticket holder for fifteen sixteen years.
I loved Peyton Manning. I loved Andrew Luck. I was
happy for Luck when he retired. Good for him, go
live your life. I supported Carson Wentz, I supported Matt Ryan.
I was good with Rivers. I rooted for Anthony Richardson.
I was on board with Daniel Jones. Is this the

(01:16:25):
best we can do as a forty four year old
man who hasn't played football for five years?

Speaker 9 (01:16:32):
Yeah, I'm actually look, I am actually.

Speaker 12 (01:16:35):
Upset with the Colts for the first time in my life.
We deserved better. I don't care who he's buddies with.
There are probably fifty twenty seven year old able body
quarterbacks that would make more sense. This is a clown move.
Couldn't agree more.

Speaker 6 (01:16:54):
Do you think this is going to be an absolute
disaster on Sunday?

Speaker 12 (01:16:57):
I absolutely will always root for the Colts. But yes,
it's not that he's forty four, John, he hasn't played.

Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
Football in five years.

Speaker 12 (01:17:07):
He's got to play against the Seahawks.

Speaker 6 (01:17:09):
What are we doing? So do you think we see
him on Sunday like I think we see him on Sunday?
Or do you think it's Riley Leonard?

Speaker 12 (01:17:17):
I absolutely think we see him on Sunday. And you
know what I do fear for his health Like your
previous callers, I mean, this is really a ridiculous situation.

Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
And again I am.

Speaker 12 (01:17:30):
A huge, huge homer, but I got a big problem
with this and we deserve better, We really do.

Speaker 6 (01:17:37):
I mean, come on, John Outstanding, It's great to hear
from you again too. Man, don't be a stranger. Okay,
do you.

Speaker 12 (01:17:44):
Give my best to number eight? Tell her to keep
She's one of the only kids that can hit the
mid range in Indiana Adiens.

Speaker 6 (01:17:51):
He's a good girl. Thank you, John, I appreciate you.

Speaker 12 (01:17:54):
You take care friend.

Speaker 6 (01:17:56):
You got it. Duke in Michigan State evidently was close.
Is that the old he gave me? You can find
that was close. You look across the college basketball landscape
and it's not. Jack Squatt has been close. I'm paying
attention JMV in regards to blowouts. I don't think I've
seen this many blowouts since the Deadlift day after white

(01:18:20):
Castle Lunch in nineteen ninety three. That's gross but appropriate. JMV.
Get him a lab burger and curly fries, Sweet jam JMV.
Watching Rivers Presser, it looks like he's been enjoying corn dogs.

(01:18:44):
I'd say he's thirty pounds heftier in the middle end
of face. He might need that extra cushion. Yeah, And
he was asked that today because everybody else noticed that,
and it was something that I think you can tell
and could definitely be problematic. All right, quickly, we'll come back. Hey,

(01:19:06):
the thoughts of boomers sizing CBS the fan in New York.
I don't know if you've noticed this or not. So
Peyton's Places, they have a new episode and he and
Boomera Sis and I don't know if you've seen it.
It's great in a dispensary in New York. Outstanding stuff.
Boomera Asize on top of the hour, your calls in
more on the other side, if you're on hold stick
tight ninety three to five one h seven five Fan.

Speaker 5 (01:19:31):
The ride with JMV.

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
Nick, give him you a bollup what he's got a knife?

Speaker 9 (01:19:41):
That's a knife, that's anode.

Speaker 5 (01:19:45):
Ninety three five and one oh seven five the Fan.

Speaker 6 (01:19:53):
Super Tramp. Well done, JMV. We have to face the
fact the cold season has been the big US meltdown
in history. Shane should be gone. He's an offensive court
and that there may be even just above average at that.
He's not a leader of dudes. Can't fake that. Carly
should set the tone and send him packing. You're sending

(01:20:14):
everybody packing, or just the head coach. If all this
ends as badly as directionally the way that it's going
right now, JMV. We need a tavern tour in Kocomo
from C. Fitch. I will say this, Calvin, there is
now a lot of momentum to lead us out of

(01:20:36):
the market. We've gone to Columbus in Bloomington. They want
us in a Lafayette. I think that could be done. JMV.
Did you say that you eat veggies with wind Shouler cheese? Indeed, carrots.
I'm new to carrots. I've discovered carrots. Brandon writes this

(01:20:58):
long shot, but what if Rivers takes this team to
the super Bowl? Could you imagine what would happen? Again?
Super long shot? It would be seriously the greatest story
in NFL history ever told. You would have zero rival
the greatest story ever told. I would think it'd be

(01:21:26):
a great story if he's able to win a game
or two under center? Two three, nine, ten seventy is
that number? And it's Dwight? Who was up next? Hello Dwight?

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
Hello, jam How you doing, Dwight?

Speaker 6 (01:21:45):
I'm fantastic. I'm missing a holiday party evidently, yea. I
think our company's partying for the holiday season without us.
Is that a good sign? I don't think that's a
good sign.

Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
It's a good sign. It's a good sign that people
feel like the party goes on no one.

Speaker 6 (01:22:02):
How can they have a party without me? That should
that's weird? Go ahead, Dwight, I'm sorry to.

Speaker 2 (01:22:08):
Interrupt, Hey man, Yeah, I think it's a I think
it's kind of a bad idea to bring Philip Rivers back.

Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
He was looking creaky and slow when we've had him
the first time. But you know, folk, this is not
the first time the Coats had brought somebody off of
this off the couch. I seem to remember before or
maybe just after Andrew Luck, we got somebody off the
couch that played one game and got hurt. Don't we
call the guy's name, But I know the history is

(01:22:36):
out there. You know, I could have I would have
been happy if it said Tim Tebow or somebody like
that is a little younger, you know. You know everybody
wasn't a Tim Tebow fan. I'm not necessarily one either,
but I could have saw Tim Tebow well before it
was a song.

Speaker 6 (01:22:55):
If I were to tell you if it was Taylor
Henike or Desmond Ritter, he was in camp if you
remember back in the summer, would that make you feel
better about this situation than the Rivers?

Speaker 2 (01:23:07):
I would say yeah, because maybe you've got somebody who's
got some legs that maybe, if nothing else you could
run for your life. You might run for a first
down or two.

Speaker 6 (01:23:17):
I just don't Yeah, maybe it's just me. I don't
know if I need this kind of circus mentality of
a show. But I'm more interested in how this is
going to look. Even if I think we all agree
that it's destined for failure, and then I would be
with any of the aforementioned names, especially the two that
I brought up, I just that would give me no juice,

(01:23:39):
and really, like I have a significant reason i'd have
to for this show anyway, but really pay attention, right
Dwight on Sunday now, because well, this old man's going
to roll out there off the couch. What can he do?
And we all think we know where it's going. But
at least it provides interest, whereas everywhere else I don't
find any interest in some of the names we've brought up.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
I think of nothing else is going to creuze viewership
because people are going.

Speaker 15 (01:24:03):
To be interested in what is what's going to happen,
you know, even even even it'll be the greatest shown
earth or will be the laughing stock of the of
the league because we went and you know we went,
we went shopping.

Speaker 6 (01:24:14):
We'll be the first time the store.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
You know, So hey, keep up, keep up the good works.
I've been to the mouse Trap before. I like their
great fried mushrooms. Yes, uh so I might just walk
up and shake your hand and say, this is Dwights.

Speaker 6 (01:24:30):
There's an ample sampling going on too, so you probably
will have a little bit more than the fried mushrooms.
You so enjoyed the mouse Trap tomorrow, so just let
me know when you get in there.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
Okay, okay, Hey, thanks for taking my call.

Speaker 6 (01:24:43):
So you need to keep up new wine at anytime. Thank
you very much of her own hold on get to
you can pick up. On the other side, Boomersias and
is going to join us to Philip Rivers, Daniel Jones
IU football, a variety of things from the CBS Network
analyst and from the fan in New York, the former
NFL quarterback Boomer Asias and your calls five o'clock hour,

(01:25:05):
wide open at two three, nine, ten seventy on this
Wednesday with ninety three to five and one oh seven
five a fan.

Speaker 5 (01:25:13):
The ride with JMV. You get nothing, you lose, Good
day Their ninety three five and one oh seven five
the fan.

Speaker 6 (01:25:24):
So Sharon Moore, as we mentioned earlier, was fired as
the Michigan had football coach. Today so terminated. Get this
according to Adam Schefter with cause effective immediately. Following a
university investigation, credible evidence was found that coach Moore engaged

(01:25:47):
in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Oh a
clear violation of university policy. Inappropriate relationship with a staff member.

(01:26:08):
Sharon Moore fired ass football coach at Michigan with cause.
More on that story. I'm sure three one seven, two, three, nine,
ten seventy that is the text line number JMV. You
haven't discovered carrots. You've discovered an acceptable way to eat
your cheese dip without being judged. I'll say what else

(01:26:31):
I do with my carrots? A lot I have in
the past because I was doing chickpeas a lot early
on in the entire weight loss process. Is anybody else
on board with me with their profound love of hummus?
I'm a lover of hummus. I missus decent. I can
get humbers from hummus. Who's down with hummus?

Speaker 3 (01:26:54):
Now?

Speaker 11 (01:26:54):
What do you eat it with vegetables? Because I like
it with the peta bread or that sort of stuff,
and you don't really eat prittle.

Speaker 6 (01:26:59):
Let me go ahead, know this may gross everybody you
guys ready to be grossed out. I know, Boomer, get
Boomer on the horn here, and I won't have him
hear this, but I will. I'll get turkey and slice
turkey off and get it by the slice and swipe
it through a bowl of hummus with no bread, no

(01:27:21):
keto wrap, no nothing.

Speaker 11 (01:27:24):
That's not at all what I was expecting. But I
can't say I'm not shocked.

Speaker 6 (01:27:28):
And I don't know what it is called. There is
a there's an olive kind of hummus that's out there
that I dig a great deal like olive, and I
like olives, and I like spicy hummus and I swipe
it right through there.

Speaker 11 (01:27:46):
But that see, that doesn't gross me out that much
because I've seen you eat cottage cheese and tudas.

Speaker 6 (01:27:51):
Yeah, yeah, you've seen that. I dig hummus. Thank you
very much for that too. Yeah, I just didn't know
about carrots until two months ago. Hummus three months ago,
cattus cheese a year and a half ago. It's been
really an amazing transformation. Yeah, I know. See, Fitch, we'll

(01:28:16):
try to get up to Cocomo. You guys find a
spot for us for a tavern tour and we'll get
to Cocomo, promise you that. Meantime of the Andymore Automotive
Group potline. There is a ton to talk about right here,
whether it's Philip Rivers or Daniel Jones, or the Colts
or IU football. And our friend from New York, he's
the former quarterback. He's with CBS Sports Network and the

(01:28:39):
fan in New York. Boomer Osiason joins us. Now, Hey, Boomer,
thank you for the time. How are you, Johnny? Thanks
for having me on.

Speaker 9 (01:28:46):
I'm doing well and certainly had a lot of fun
with Peyton shooting that this past summer. And Peyton's quite
the comedian and so easy to work off of for sure.

Speaker 6 (01:28:55):
Yeah, I say he like his reinventing role before that,
Dick Budkus and Bubba Smith and those long before him,
I think kind of installed, but he's taking it to
a different level here.

Speaker 1 (01:29:09):
Well.

Speaker 9 (01:29:09):
The thing I appreciated about Peyton is that he loves
ball when he loves the NFL, and he has the
ability financially, personality wise, and the understanding of how to
put something like Omaha Productions together. And he and his
brother Eli deserve a lot of credit for that because
they're making more money now than they ever did when
they played, and rightfully so, I mean, and just spending

(01:29:32):
a couple of hours with Peyton because that's all it
took for us to shoot that Yeah, shows me that
he understands exactly how things need to get done quickly, decisively.
They have a great scriptwriter, they have great ideas, and
it always goes back to the history of the NFL.
And that's what I love so much about Peyton and
what he's doing with Peyton's Place, and you.

Speaker 6 (01:29:54):
Could check that out the latest edition of Peyton's Places.
Boomera Siasin joins us. The last time you're we talked
about the renaissance campaign of Daniel Jones, which since we
last spoke has ended. And now it's just kind of
the last eight or so years of the Colts in
a nutshell here, everything kind of goes hey wire and wild,

(01:30:15):
and you have Philip Rivers that I think is likely
going to start coming up on Sunday. So let's start here.
What would all this entail for a quarterback having to
come back and then start a football game after not
playing for the past five years, no matter what level
we're talking about here.

Speaker 9 (01:30:30):
Boomer well, well, let's first start with Daniel Jones. When
we last talked about Daniel and he was playing well,
I told you one of the things that was the
problem here in New York is that he couldn't make
it through a season. He kept getting hurt and every
time he got hurt, the team would fall apart. You know,
the team loved him, they respected him, they appreciated his leadership,

(01:30:50):
the way he went about his business. But it was
a neck injury, it was a knee injury. I mean,
these were serious injuries and it meant so much to
him this year that he one out there with a
broken fibula to try to play through it. Maybe he
puts pressure on his left achilles and next thing you know,
that snap. So making prayers out to him, for sure,
we are sick to our stomach for him. We were

(01:31:12):
hoping for the best. We thought, you know, this could
be one hundred and fifty million dollar contract coming his way,
given the way that he had started the first day game. So,
I mean, I feel sick for the young man. He's
a great young great young guy, and hopefully he'll be
able to restart his career in another year or so.
Now that being said that being said, you know, you're
Philip Rivers. You haven't played football in eighteen hundred days.

(01:31:35):
Think about that. The last game that he played was
back on January ninth, twenty twenty one, and it was
versus the Bills. You guys remember that game. That was
a fourth and goal if I remember, and the the
I think the Colts won for it, and Philip overthrew.
I forget whoever threw in the back of the end zone,
and that was Frank Wright was his coach. Yeah, and

(01:31:57):
you know, unfortunately for Chris Ballard, the Colts were organization.
They are fans out there. This is nothing new for them.
I mean, you guys have been through this for the
last eight or nine years, ever since Andrew Luck decided
to retire. That you think you finally got the guy,
and then all of a sudden, the guy gets hurt
and now you have to turn back the clocks. And
I don't know what kind of condition Philip's in. I'm

(01:32:21):
assuming that he took very good care of himself, that
he probably looked reasonable on the practice field, But if
he has to start a game, I mean, I have
to be realistic here. His chances for any sort of success.
I mean, it's less than fifty to fifty I think,
and hopefully they'll lean on Jonathan Taylor, which I'm sure

(01:32:42):
they will, and do a lot of play action passing
and not put Philip back there in a shotgun and
protecting him with five guys. That would be insane to me.
So Shane Steiken is going to have to go into
his bag of tricks if in fact, Philip ends up
being the starter for them.

Speaker 6 (01:32:58):
I do think, and I don't know you feel about this.
Do you think he comes back if he doesn't believe
that he's going to be installed immediately? Do you think
he even jacks with this whatsoever? If there's not that
belief there. I mean, we don't know him, we're not
inside that brain. But what could he be thinking surrounding
this comeback? Because there's a lot of ramifications from it.

Speaker 9 (01:33:20):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, look, there's ego involved
in everything else, and he probably loves being wanted. You know.
I thought maybe they'd call Matt Ryan, but he weighs
about a buck twenty. Watching him on CBS now, it's
like he couldn't play football because he'd probably get cut
in halfs. But and I know the Colt actually tried
him that last year with Frank, so I don't know.

(01:33:42):
This is just a weird kind of deal. It's a
desperation move. There is no other choice other than maybe
Brett Rippon. Maybe they start him if they feel like
Philip's not ready. I mean, they're playing against the Seahawks,
who are one of the best teams in the league,
and they're playing in Seattle with these that gets after
the quarterback. They have a lot of sacks. I mean,

(01:34:04):
if Philip does play in this game, whether he's starting
it or ends up finishing it. If he does finish it,
I don't know. You're asking You're asking an awful lot,
and I think he's really taking just an incredible risk
if he steps on that football field.

Speaker 6 (01:34:19):
Did it shock you the moves and did you tell enough?

Speaker 9 (01:34:23):
It doesn't shock me, because you know, there's there's desperation,
and there's desperation, and I think you know, given the
fact that the Colts have had a really good year
up until their last three games, I can understand why
Chris Ballard and the Colts would go down this road.
You know, they're got they're going to try to save
their season and this is it's nothing but a desperation move.

(01:34:45):
I don't know how else you would describe it. And
I'm not saying they're doing the right thing or the
wrong thing. I'm just saying they're maybe doing the only
thing that they think gives them, you know, half of
a chance to win some of these games. And when
you look at their schedule, their strength of edul here
coming down the end of the season is one of
the toughest, if not the toughest, in the league. And
you look at their last three games that they've lost.

(01:35:07):
All you have to do is look at the giveaways,
the sacks in the past five games, and that tells
you all you need to know about this offense that
seems to have fallen apart for some reason and lost
their way. And I think a lot of that obviously
has to do with the injury of Daniel Jones, not
just the achilles, but the fibula injury that leads to

(01:35:27):
him losing one of the most important aspects of his game,
and that's the ability to move and run with the football.

Speaker 6 (01:35:33):
That is boomeros Aiasin of the Fan in New York,
CBS Sports Network and more. You're catching him with Andy
Moore Automotive Group Hotline. You're having a conversation I think
on your show about what it would take to return
like five years after I think you were out of
the NFL or whatever are you hadn't thrown a football
and what it entails it is, And I know that

(01:35:55):
was kind of a funny conversation, but at the same
time it was ringing so true. There's one thing to
talk about it or to throw it nobody, or to
throw to the equipment guy when you're all out there
alone on your field, but it's another thing to go
against the defense that hasn't allowed to score in like
the last two games and really comes hard after the quarterback.
It is absolutely shocking to think for me that Rivers

(01:36:18):
will be out there on Sunday. But then again, I
have to understand this is the Colts, and really there's
nothing that would shock me decision wise about their path
any longer. So I actually expected boom.

Speaker 9 (01:36:31):
Well, you know the other thing too, and I don't
know if they would be thinking this way. You know,
they may just say throw Ripping out there. I don't know,
maybe get Phillip in the game somewhere along the line.
I don't know. I can't put my own brain in
Shane Steiken's head and what he and Chris Baward are
talking about. You know, Seattle's only given up nine points,
as you were pointing out, in the last two games,

(01:36:52):
and that's the fewest in the two games span since
twenty fourteen. That's how good their defense has been playing.
And I always say this, You know, you can look
at strength of schedule, but what does that strength of
schedule look like when that team arrives to the stadium.
So in the case of the Colts, they have a
very good record, so you say, okay, well they got
that would make them a tough out, that would be

(01:37:12):
a that would be a big problem. But the Colts
come in now losing three in a row and losing
their starting quarterback and may have to rely on a
forty four year old quarterback. So where does that really
actually put that strength of schedule situation in play here?
It doesn't. I think this is when you want to
exactly catch the Colts. And this is the Seahawks benefit
from this. So and by the and on the other side,

(01:37:35):
everybody's healthy and Jackson Smith and Jigbo showed back up
again last week. Sam Darnold has played great for this team.
I wonder if I think, in the back of my mind,
you know, maybe we we kind of give up this game.
You're not thinking give up the game, especially if you're
a player putting the uniform on, but maybe internally they're saying,
you know, we're probably going to lose this game. Let's

(01:37:56):
see if we can make a final push those last
three games when we're playing within our division. But man,
I mean, it's just this is such an impossible situation
for the Colts. And I understand desperate times require desperate measures.
And I would say I'm rooting for Philip. I want
him to do well, but to expect anything spectacular out

(01:38:19):
of him is truly unrealistic.

Speaker 6 (01:38:22):
Does this from the outside looking in? For you appear
to be a general manager and a head coach that
may be trying to save what possibly could be the
end for them as everything has fallen apart. Is this
part of the desperation move that you view from both
coach and general manager here?

Speaker 9 (01:38:39):
And Andy, No, I don't, I don't. I think it's
a really unfortunate set of circumstances. And Chris Ballard, look,
you know, he was part of firing my one of
my best friends in the whole world, Frank Reich. I
hold no ill will against that at all with him.
I know he's a really good general manager. I know
that he's built up a really good roster over the years.

(01:39:01):
Frank always got the support that he needed from Chris
until you know, you know, mister Hearsay decided. You know,
enough's enough, and you know it's all. It always comes
back to the same thing. You know, who's the quarterback.
And when you look at the top twelve or fourteen
teams and you look at their healthy quarterbacks that are productive,
those are the ones that are always going to go

(01:39:21):
to the playoffs. And unfortunately for the Colts, it's been
the same thing now ever since Andrew Luck retired. So
I don't think Shane Steiken or Chris Ballard would be
in jeopardy. I really don't think that. And I don't
know if you know the new owner out there standing
on the sideline, she gets it. I think she understands
what has happened here. I mean, she seems like a

(01:39:43):
very you know, intuitive person, seems like somebody that's really
gotten into the game of football, and she sees the
desperation and the stress that are on the faces. I'm
sure of her GM and her head coach. So I mean,
it's a really unfortunate set of circumstances. I don't think
they change. I think that they have to find themselves
who they believe can be their next quarterback. And obviously

(01:40:05):
next year is not going to be Daniel Jones because
he's not going to be ready.

Speaker 6 (01:40:09):
So Boomer a sizon with us. I thought a tail
of the tape happened at the NFL trade deadline, and
I think if you believe regardless of the circumstances here
since Boom and whatever you think about Sauce Gardner, who
is now out with an injury. But I think when
you say, okay, you can trade these two first rounders
of the future and bring in this guy because you

(01:40:32):
want to win in the now and we've seen things
dynamically change really a one eighty from that point in
time and now. But I think when you do that,
that to me, you'll most tell everybody that these are
my guys for the future. I mean, maybe things can change,
but I don't know how much they will. Considering what
was allowed by carly Urs Gordon back during the NFL
trade deadline. That's kind of how I view it, and

(01:40:54):
short sided thinking.

Speaker 9 (01:40:55):
I guess in this case, well, I think they were
going for it, and I think they felt like they
needed one thing and that was going to be a
shutdown corner. Now from the other side, the Jets side,
which we cover obviously every day here, and the Jets are,
you know, a mega disaster once again, just like they
have been for the last ten years, and as their
season winds down, they fall apart, and we're getting kind

(01:41:17):
of used to it. We actually thought that the general manager,
Darren Moujie, did a great job at the trade deadline,
trading both Sauce Gardner to the Colts and then of
course Quinn Williams to the Dallas Cowboys and acquiring the
assets they need to rebuild this franchise and to try
to get their own franchise quarterback. So we felt like
the Jets did the one hundred percent right thing. And again,

(01:41:37):
it's just really unfortunate that a very talented player ends up,
you know, straining a calf. And I don't know if
your listeners feel this way out there, but I've said
this a thousand times here in New York when their
calf is involved, the next thing that goes is the Achilles.
And that's why you have to be really, really really

(01:41:58):
careful with a achilles or a calf injury. And you know,
you saw that with Tyres Halliburton. We saw it, you
know last year with the Boston Celtics. We've seen it,
you know, so many times, Aaron Rodgers. I mean, any
sort of calf injury can easily lead to a pop achilles,
and that's the last thing that you would want to
have happen to Sauce Gardner. So again three injuries too,

(01:42:20):
by the way, to Forrest Buckner. That's another huge injury.
So those are things that I'm sure missus GIRs or
you say, Gordon is basically hash to take into account
when it comes to, you know, whether or not she's
going to blow out the whole front office and the
coaching staff. I just don't see that happening. I don't
think that would be a prudent move.

Speaker 6 (01:42:38):
I'm going to double back to Daniel Jones. I happen
to think that Daniel Jones will resign here, and clearly
not for the amount of money that he would have
resigned for here, but I think that he resigns here.
I think they like him enough, and I think next year,
I think they're going to Wait, I think really all
three quarterbacks that have been in the fold, that includes
in this case Riley Leonard who's also dinged up, and

(01:42:59):
Anthony Richardson. I've I think all three of these dudes
are going to be back coming up next year. That's
at least what because you look at the free agency
on the lack of assets, I don't know really what
choice unless they do blow it up the Colts are
going to have with that in mind.

Speaker 9 (01:43:13):
Yeah, Well, the only thing that I would say in
regard to Daniel Jones, it's the same thing. It's you know,
what's what's it going to hurt next door two years
from now? Because I doubt he'll play next year. I mean,
I know that Deshaun Watson had the same injury around
the same time last year, and he is just getting
onto the practice field now and they're not going to

(01:43:33):
put him out on the field in these last four
games regardless. So I think that Daniel would be in
the same spot. Maybe he does sign a contract with
the Colts, maybe he takes a year off and doesn't
sign and then resigns back with the Colts. I don't know.
I don't know what that situation's going to encounter, because
whatever they give him, they're going to have to absorb
on the salary cap and there's a whole other set
of circumstances that you got to take into account. But

(01:43:56):
you know, my thing with Daniel Jones would be, I
can't give you a long term, big money, guaranteed contract.
I just can't because your history is such that you
have serious injuries that forces you to lee, lose an
inordinate amount of games, and usually the team collapses around

(01:44:17):
you when that happens. And that's been his moniker unfortunately
in his entire career, except the one year that they
went to the playoffs and they beat the Minnesota Vikings.

Speaker 6 (01:44:25):
Tah boomer assize in with us. Before I let you go,
I got to get your thoughts on the one seed
in the college playoff As a Maryland man, I'm sure
you've recognized the futility over the years of AYU football.
Can you believe what you've witnessed under Kurt Signetti in
the last two and then once you have witnessed this
last weekend vide ohiosted and being the number one overall

(01:44:46):
seed of the College Football Playoff. What do you think
about these users?

Speaker 9 (01:44:49):
So, I think they're great. You know, they went into
Maryland and Mendoza in company just absolutely steamrolled our team.
And I think our team is going to be steamrolled
for the next five years. So I can I'm getting
to it, but I will say what Kurt has done
out there has been remarkable. The fact that he was
able to get Mendoza to come there and then have
Mendoza Bernando played the way that he has played, it's

(01:45:11):
been terrific. You know, it wasn't pretty against the Ohio State,
but those games sometimes are the best games. They're tight,
they're defensive oriented, they're looking for somebody to make a
mistake or somebody to make a misplay, and then all
of a sudden, you have your upset. What will be
interesting for Indiana will be Okay, let's be ready for
our first game once we get through the by and

(01:45:32):
then I think we all think that they're going to
be a team that's going to see Ohio State again,
and can they beat them twice within six weeks, that
would be the real cream on the top. So I
love Bernando Mendoza. I think he's a great player. I
think he's going to make a really good professional quarterback.
I think he's smart, he's big, he's strong, can make
every throw, he's athletic, and you know, the thing that

(01:45:54):
I like about him most just this whole attitude about
life and the way that he carries himself is personal
story with his mom dealing with multiple sclerosis and how
their bond has basically given him strength. So I appreciate
all of that. So I'm rooting for Indiana, believe it.

Speaker 6 (01:46:14):
Yeah you think hes the Heisman.

Speaker 9 (01:46:16):
Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't see why. I mean,
I know there will be some other you know, these
guys you know from Vanderbilt. What Pavia, I guess is
getting some late push here, you know, because he played
in the SEC. But I don't know. I think I
feel like Fernando Mendoza played almost a perfect year. You
almost had like a perfect season. I know the numbers

(01:46:36):
aren't what some past Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks have had,
but I mean, all he did was lead his team
to an eleven and o season. I know they've got
a good defense, That's that's part of it. As the
team game. But Fernando is the unquestioned leader of that team,
and I thought he had a really, really clean year
and did nothing but enhance his pro stock ability, So

(01:46:58):
I think he's gonna win it.

Speaker 6 (01:46:59):
You can find him at seven Boomera Sisin on x
He's at the fan of New York. You can catch
him on CBS Sports Network and in the latest edition
of Peyton's Places. You can check that out too. It's
Boomera Sison. On the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline. Boomer, Man,
it is outstanding. We will catch up again soon. But
I had to get your thoughts on Philip Rivers coming

(01:47:21):
up on Sunday. That is gonna be watched. It'll be

Night Ranger and goodbye for the nineteen eighties. Well done.
On the reentry, Greg writes this, has anybody seen the
video of Philip Rivers on Thanksgiving trying to race the
young guys? Then he falls on his face because he's old? Oh,

(01:49:22):
I'm sorry. That wasn't Phil. You're just making in general,
the old guy raising his kids on Thanksgiving. It falls
on his face because he's too old. I'm sorry I
misread that. Yeah, a lot of those particular thoughts on
Philip Rivers, who met with the media for the first
time today since his re emergence here in Indy with
the Colts, and then went through practice for the first

(01:49:46):
time today. Shavarius Ward concussion protocol on ir third time
this season. That is incredibly bad news. Sauce Gardner did
not participate. Meantime, you saw DeForest Buckner back in a
limited role. We will follow that as the Colts practice
again tomorrow. I want to give a shout out. Hopefully
I get to this on a later date. But a

(01:50:07):
book that was sent to me. I just got this
in the mail by Eric Bond of Indianapolis. It's called
but This is Indiana, But This Is Indiana is a
book by Eric Bond. The following is a collection of

(01:50:29):
basketball memories from my life in Indiana, famously known as
the heart of basketball country. After the twenty twenty five
NBA Finals, I decided to put into writing. It covers
many tiers of competition, but is heavily centered on the
Indiana Pacers. Thank you, Eric Bond. I shall check that out.

(01:50:50):
But This is Indiana, and I'm glad you got that
to me too, because otherwise I don't know if it
ever probably would receive it. Final day to get here
two three nine, ten seventy The text line, did anybody
come up with a correct pronunciation of that cognac? I
was trying to pronounce? Then the big red liquor spot
there d d apostrophe usso was that how we spelled it?

(01:51:18):
It's one of my favorite things to do, try to
pronounce that stuff.

Speaker 11 (01:51:24):
D U S S. I think is how it was?

Speaker 1 (01:51:26):
What it is?

Speaker 6 (01:51:27):
Yeah, yeah, I know that I foo barred it. But
it's a great cognac and a great deal at big
Red liquors, especially this time of year. When's the last
time you had a cognac? I don't know. That's how
I pronounced it a cognac.

Speaker 11 (01:51:41):
I'm not sure. I can't really recall if I've ever had.

Speaker 6 (01:51:44):
It's a funny connac.

Speaker 11 (01:51:46):
Apparently it is pronounced thank you, ife, and say to say, so,
how you pronounce it?

Speaker 6 (01:51:58):
Damn? They I hope you know. Oh the old move, No, woman,
they don't move. The river return because it is where
the colts are. Oh, yeah, I got you. Is that
the up the river without a paddle type of reference
right there? Hey, I hope he plays well. I don't

(01:52:18):
know if anybody is counting on him playing well. Our guy,
Jeff Jones from heaven Hill Distillery says, ducey is how
that's pronounced douce He would know of heaven Hill Distillery.
Two three, nine, ten seventy is the number. Thank you, Jeff.
It was next here. AJ's been on all the longest.

(01:52:39):
Hello Aj, how are you sir?

Speaker 7 (01:52:42):
Hey jamb, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to say,
first of all, four, I went into my screen about this.
My mother worked for MS Communications for twenty plus years. Really,
it's kind of emotional for me to hear about you
guys moving out of that.

Speaker 6 (01:52:56):
Yeah, I understand, And I was thinking about the great
times fifteen years. One of the greatest moments when we
used to be up on six and actually faced and
had a window and faced monument circle. Ye, summertime. Summertime
at the Sheridan Pool on the Circle downtown was not bad.
Me and my binoculars, you know me, right, So that

(01:53:16):
was not bad back actually Tony Donna Hugh's binoculars. But yes,
it was a good time. But no, I can understand
for you how that would be emotional, A ja I do.

Speaker 7 (01:53:26):
My mom worked for Indianapolis Monthly for many many years.
I you know, I knew Jeff smoy in and and
I used to go to the holiday party. Yeah, that
was there in the lobby. So yeah, and I know
this is the main thing to your viewers.

Speaker 6 (01:53:44):
I just want to no, let's understanding. No, that's cool.
I'm glad you share with us. Hey, j go ahead.

Speaker 7 (01:53:49):
Well, I spoke to you several times over the summer,
and I was very pessimistic about the Colts, and obviously
when they went on their great ron I was like, well, hey,
this is this is cool. It's really good about this.
But let's let's wait until November, because real football starts
in November and Uh, you've had a couple of call

(01:54:10):
you have a couple of callers to come on here.
And I hear this again and again about the Peyton
Manning curse and all this other stuff, and I understand
the reaction to that, but let me say this. The
curse is Chris Ballard, that's your curse. And uh, the
curse ain't going away until the source of it goes away.

Speaker 6 (01:54:33):
I think that's a that's a good argue everyone's and
I think it's not even a curse. It's just lack
of positive execution. And and now he's been all over
the board with his own process and then moving away
to another process and none, none of the processes have

(01:54:54):
worked out.

Speaker 7 (01:54:55):
I wanted to ask you this before I went. Remember
it was like Ashland, was it?

Speaker 3 (01:54:59):
It was a year.

Speaker 7 (01:55:01):
Sorry, my years are blended together because all Chris Ballard
hears just and then disaster and then he's blend together.
But it was a year or two ago and you
were interviewing him and he was sitting there with his
arms crossed like he always is, very defensive, and you
were mentioning about the problems with the secondary and the
line that he said is if I recall it correctly

(01:55:23):
was I have to let these young guys play so
I can figure out if they're good. I believe that
was flying that he said. And this year and this
year with lou Randon Rumo, they replaced and burned down.
How many guys are left in that secondary three or
four from last year? Not very many. And that is

(01:55:44):
damming on Chris Ballard. And let me just say this,
you will watch this game on Sunday. There's gonna be
a guy on the Seattle Seahawk's roster named Weatherspoon. He's
an all Pro corner. He was drafted the fifth overall pick,
right before Anthony and Richards. Then who might be the
biggest draft buss in Indiapolis Colt history.

Speaker 6 (01:56:05):
Yeah, well it he has gone away. Chris went the
free agent route, which I think a lot of us
like me wanted him to do, and then went trade
deadline route like a lot of us and went big
wanted him to do, or certainly I wanted him to do.
And then hasn't worked out either. And that's what I
was saying, like nothing has worked out, even with the
greatest of intentions, it hasn't worked out. And what has

(01:56:28):
happened now. I mean, we're kind of laughing about what
might be what could be Aja coming up on Sunday
with Philip Rivers against Seattle on that defense. But what's
not funny is the future coming up for the Coles.
That part's not funny because you're caught between having a
lot of this roster that's ready made to try to
win now and not having the starting source at quarterback

(01:56:51):
to win right now. I mean, it is like the Steelers,
the Steeler Wheel, the Steelers Wheel song, stuck in the
middle with you. That's that's where we are, and that's
too common a place, I think for everybody that's been
a Colts fan for a while. No matter what has
been done, what's tried to have been executed with this group,
simply put it, it's never ever worked.

Speaker 7 (01:57:15):
I'm sorry that you missed your holiday party tonight, but regardless,
have a very happy holiday and America.

Speaker 6 (01:57:21):
Christ very kind of you AJ to say thank you
AJ for the call. Apparently, Bill says the cognac we're
talking about Duce is made by Jay z. Oh really
it's pronounced duce. Shout out to Jeff Jones.

Speaker 11 (01:57:38):
For that fancy.

Speaker 6 (01:57:41):
How did I pronounce it. Do you see it was
not good.

Speaker 11 (01:57:44):
I don't remember what you said, but it was not
the correct pronouncing.

Speaker 6 (01:57:47):
Brutal uh Boomerasias And if you missed that conversation podcast
one oh seven five thefan dot Com and Chad Brown,
the former NFL linebacker, about the Seahawks and also Philip
Rivers a little bit earlier two three nine ten seventy.
Kevin is up next. Hello, Kevin, Hello, Kevin, go ahead, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:58:09):
Oh Hey, hi guys doing I just wanted to be
on Philip Rivers side. I think it's cool that he's
coming back, and I wish him the best of luck.
And if he can do it, I think he can
do it. I don't care how old he is. You
got Aaron Rodgers out there doing it. You got Flacko
out there doing it. And he makes a couple of

(01:58:29):
games and meet Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs. That's all
he needs to do.

Speaker 6 (01:58:35):
That's all that needs to be done. Vin, Kevin, you
got we got a balance show. Now, somebody that's actually
believing it a little bit right here.

Speaker 1 (01:58:43):
I truly believe in him, and you know, I wish
him the best of luck, and I hope he pulls
it out.

Speaker 6 (01:58:49):
Thank you, Kevin. I appreciate that. I just hope he's
like able to walk and stuff afterwards.

Speaker 3 (01:58:55):
J M V.

Speaker 6 (01:58:56):
Jacomo pizza has hummus pizza. Well on Jacomo, I've not
had pizza like year and a half. How much pizza
sounds inviting? I mean if they have a breakfast pizza
too at Jacamo, it's rather famous.

Speaker 11 (01:59:13):
I don't think I could go a year and a
half without eating at least a slice of pizza.

Speaker 1 (01:59:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:59:16):
Scherion Moore, who is now the out head coach of Michigan,
fired with cause. So everybody's saying that he actually knocked
up the staffer.

Speaker 11 (01:59:26):
That's what I'm here.

Speaker 6 (01:59:27):
Yeah, it's bad news inappropriate relationships. He and so hen
and shean and ye slipping one past the goalie is
not good. That's a bad combination right there. What a
way to lose a gig and didn't want a way
to guarantee you're probably not going to get one again

(01:59:48):
anytime soon. Across the board, lose everything. It's going to
lose everything while you're at it.

Speaker 11 (01:59:52):
Who do you think Michigan even tries to get right now?

Speaker 6 (01:59:54):
Is doubling down? Well, they're gonna go b I mean, honestly,
I'm not going to suggest this is what they want,
but there are not a lot of Michigan fans are
sad that the fact that he's no longer going to
be the coach.

Speaker 5 (02:00:05):
Let's just face it.

Speaker 6 (02:00:09):
Maybe Dusty May can coach both the basketball and the
football for you guys in Michigan, JAMV. I don't trust
somebody that doesn't eat pizza. Hey, I am trying to
look fit here, see.

Speaker 11 (02:00:22):
Fitch, see but you do look fit now, so you
can have a slice. I can't either yourself a slice
every now and then I.

Speaker 6 (02:00:29):
Kind of go, yeah, I got it on the brain.
I can't do it.

Speaker 1 (02:00:34):
Stay.

Speaker 11 (02:00:35):
One slice of pizza is not gonna make you regain
all the weight you lost.

Speaker 6 (02:00:39):
I know, I know everybody's trying to get me to Oh,
you gotta do what. You gotta have that one meal
and do that and eat, yeah, eat again. And you
want to stop cotton cheese for a while.

Speaker 3 (02:00:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:00:50):
Now it's now we're creating. I'm gonna see what we
can create. I can't lie. I mean it is. I look,
I'm double nickel and I'm gonna be fifty six, and
I you know, that probably is playing a bit of
a role right here too. I'm trying. I'm trying to

time I was at the mouse Trap, the Why Store

And if you guys want me to sing lack of

Speaker 4 (02:04:30):
Eh?

Speaker 6 (02:04:32):
That sounds just like Chris Shaeffer. He's driving off the
road and say stop blanking up my song right now?
Would you you had Jack stick you? JMV. Quarterback is
like a major league pitcher. They can be out of
shape but still have the goods. I tend to agree
Indiana's news stories are off the chart right now, but

(02:04:55):
this one may be the most intriguing. And I'll tell
you this one of the greatest stories you ever be told.
The Philip Rivers at forty four goes out and plays
on Sunday and plays at a medium to above mediocre level,
if he leads them to be competitive, if he leads

(02:05:16):
them with an opportunity to win the greatest story, I mean,
one of those high level things. And right now is
just like entertainment value. It's either entertainment value for you
or you think it's an absolute clown show joke and
it is stupid. And before you say, well, they should

(02:05:36):
have had an adequate backup, you never have an adequate backup.
Nobody's an adequate backup. You're just blanked. If you lose
your starting quarterback in the NFL the way that it is,
there are very few examples of anybody doing well when
you lose your starting quarterback. I'm not worried about that
portion of it. I want this to be more. I

(02:05:56):
want it to be entertaining. I don't want it to
be a clown show. But knowing that and what we
have known in the past, hand full of years. Normally
that is their direction in which it goes. Damvy, I
can't blame Ballard for this season. Poor coaching and injuries
have ruined the season. And that said, fire everyone and
bring in Jeff Saturday as general manager and Brian Flores

(02:06:18):
as the head coach. H that's not happened. They've done
the Jeff Saturday experience.

Speaker 3 (02:06:26):
You know.

Speaker 6 (02:06:27):
It's funny about that. Had he won a game in
games that they easily could have won, I mean, hell,
he still could be the head coach. Your true story,
probably not by now, but could have been, and that
could have rewritten a lot of history. Chris Ballard would
not be here still, there's no way that he was.
That was not his choice. He didn't want that. There's
no way he would still be here. And maybe there
would be a different quarterback at Philip Rivers State two

(02:06:48):
years instead of just won as they had planned. Maybe
things were a lot different there too, so many stories
that could have been rewritten had things been different. Brian
is up next to two three nine ten seventy. Hello, Brian, Hey,
how you doing great?

Speaker 10 (02:07:04):
Brian?

Speaker 6 (02:07:05):
What's up?

Speaker 14 (02:07:06):
My uncle Euston in a music store that was before
the mass trap and he also owned Capitol Boats in
Jubilee City. So I mean, I like that area.

Speaker 6 (02:07:19):
So I do too. I love being up there too,
But I.

Speaker 14 (02:07:22):
Live in rural Morgan County. Now I like that a
lot better.

Speaker 6 (02:07:25):
Well, I'm down there with you. I'm in somewhat rural
Morgan from me at all, are you? Are you in Waverley?

Speaker 14 (02:07:32):
Uh No, I'm a little I'm at the edge of Mooresville.

Speaker 6 (02:07:36):
Edge of Mooresville that's not too far from me, a
little over on one. I'll get right to you.

Speaker 14 (02:07:40):
Brian across the street. They go to school on Martinsville.

Speaker 6 (02:07:44):
Yeah, wellesome, I think you go. You go down bent
To Road from me, and there's like a it's like
a part where if you're to the southeast you go
to Franklin, if you're the northeast, you go to Santa
Grove and then and then Martinsville and Moore right in
that general vicinity right there is no telling where you're going.

Speaker 14 (02:08:02):
But I am across from Waverley. I can walk to
the river from where I live, but it's on the
other side.

Speaker 6 (02:08:09):
You know, I know exactly what you're talking about. I
think I've got some friends that maybe catch raccoons and
possums and take them on your side of the river.

Speaker 14 (02:08:18):
God damn, I got.

Speaker 6 (02:08:22):
That's why you got them in your yard. Bruh. That's
the way to end to right it here, seriously, that's
the only way we can end it with a big
time cuss work.

Speaker 11 (02:08:34):
You got to get one more dump in from the
one more one more.

Speaker 6 (02:08:37):
