Fines car.

Speaker 7 (00:36):
Here's Hanniber into the front court, mishandled it against a shot,
hits it.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
John.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I have never been better to be on the air
with you here in Indianapolis, a place where so many
of my dreams have come true.

Speaker 7 (00:51):
With a ride with JMV on ninety three five and
one oh seven five Tuesday. Thank you for joining us.
Let's get going. That's some injuries, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
For the first almost week's worth of get togethers up
at Graham Park and Westfield, it had been relatively, if
not close to entirely, injury free, and even some of
the names synonymous with this team with injuries side step
in the situation. But yeah, today not so much. We'll

(01:28):
see about Jalen Jones. That's the one. When you bring
the card out and take somebody off the field, that's
the one. And then when you combine that with the
description of non contact. Non contact is really sports injury wise,

(01:49):
a horrific description anymore. Everybody thinks, or remember when it was, well,
this is really tough, and you know you're just getting
swallowed up by the tackler and getting hit real hard.
You would almost rather somebody be described as being hit
hard now than it being non contact. Non contact injury

(02:19):
absolutely ends most of the time. Now, there are exceptions,
justin fields last week left did he not on a
cart for the Jets as their quarterback? And then hell
was back the next day with a sore toe or
something of I think a great deal lot of evidence

(02:42):
in the past and experience, certainly with dealing with injuries
that are described as non contact, so we will follow
that story. You don't want to see anybody get injured
at all, but you do really focus on that secondary
because you can tell there's been an emphasis on that secondary,

(03:03):
whether it's lou An Rumo. If you missed our conversation yesterday,
which yeah, I know I did. I brought the bad
luck to the Reds having Lance on, and I was
skeptical about doing it, but I really wanted to talk
with him and they were into game number one against
the Dodgers. I felt it was a really good time
and yeah, obviously my decision making was not good. Jink.

(03:28):
It doesn't take much to Jinks the Reds. They normally
do that to themselves, very handy at doing that to themselves.
But I certainly helped him out yesterday. That said, we
were talking to Lance McAllister about lou Ann Rumo and
a concentration or a focus on the secondary, and you
could tell that's what the Colts did in the off season,

(03:49):
really went out and did that focus, whether you're talking
about safety or corner. Two of the more thought of
positional players of the secondary brought in high dollar amounts.
Free agency goes against the grain, and you still you
sit and you wait, and we probably would have would

(04:14):
we not been even harder on Juju Brentz and his
lack of availability had the quarterback not been the major
focus in that category. And probably Juju gets a little bit.
I don't want to say a pass that's not fair
because you end up talking about it anyway, but because
he's a local dude, but you just kind of sit

(04:34):
back and unfortunately you wait a little bit. Hopefully there's
nothing with Juju Brentz there with a hamstring, but he
was one of those injuring notes at the end of
practice earlier today, Michael Pittman junior with a groin. You know,
the one thing outside of the secondary and we will
get back to Jalen Jones in that category in just

(04:56):
a second, But one thing outside the secondary is that
of the wide receiver. Can somebody throw the football in
their general vicinity? Because these dudes don't look bad, do
they They don't look bad. There's something I guess. I'm
very careful in how I say things or proclaim things

(05:19):
now because past history wouldn't suggest that things work out
of that capacity. By now, most fans out there go,
all right, you're going to talk this up in the preseason,
You're going to talk this up in training camp, and
it's kind of described as propaganda. Yeah, I'm not gonna
deal with propaganda. I'm just gonna say, as always, the

(05:41):
ultimate test is what you see on the field on Sunday.
This is all the work, This is all the craft
that gets you the opportunity to show what you can do.
And until that takes place, sure, because of past history,

(06:02):
we're all going to be skeptical. There was a point
of time in Colt's history around here when it was
completely flipped. It was a one point eighty. It was
a ride of passage. Here you go, this is going
to be a thirteen win team. Didn't worry about it.
All you worried about was once they got into the postseason,
are they going to have home field advantage throughout? When

(06:25):
would they meet the Patriots. You weren't worried about any
of the seasonal stuff. Yeah, whatever, start of the season
September October. Remember how comfortable you were when you had
none of the worries that you have had in the
past more than a handful of years, and what you

(06:46):
continue to have right now. Remember how good that felt.
And some have the audacity to describe us as spoiled.
Nothing being spoiled it that's what you came to expect
because back then that's what you were told. And then
what you were told then was backed up. What you

(07:08):
have been told in the past again handful of years
up until now has not been backed up. You've been
told something and you have seen a delivery of something
completely different and very underwhelming truth be told. So getting
back to the point of emphasis, here it is always
just a wait and see until things matter, until they count,

(07:34):
or as I've described it, I sound like the real
world promo until things get real. But the wide receiver category,
if somebody can maybe direct the football in their general vicinity,
and frankly, I don't care who it is, and I've
said all along it's going to be Anthony Richardson. Just
if not, then why do you even jack with it?

(07:58):
But whomever is capable of putting it in a general
vicinity of some of these guys, I think you give
your team a chance because some of these guys they're
gonna catch it are good. Jonathan Taylor running, it's good.
Oftentimes we like cover everything else up with the depression

(08:21):
of a very disappointing team. And the problem is if
you have a quarterback that has been disappointing, then that
is going to shadow the rest of the team. Very
rarely are you able to wiggle out of issues that
are created by your signal caller, whether it's unavailability or

(08:46):
lack of execution or inefficiency whatever. So yeah, we sit
here and we wait. But the wide receiver position, I
will say this, I try not to get overly excited
about a lot of stuff, but one is interesting. This

(09:09):
is not a guy that's been described as a rookie
has to be just one thing or the other. And
still the test is going to be when things matter.
But the guy so far has given you us no
reason to feel that he is nothing but absolutely legit.

(09:32):
And it's always great when you have a dude that
can do a lot of different things. How many years
have the Colts had a tight End or that position
and nothing against it, but it's been well, that guy's
really good at this. But that's so good, you're kind
of mixing and matching. So you're going to be like
the pacers at Center this year. You're gonna mix and
you're gonna match. Remember when Napoleon Dynamite and the thrift

(09:56):
store wanted to buy the twenty four pack, but it's dad,
he had to get the twelve pack. You got to
mix in your match because Uncle Rico was laying down
the financial law in the family. If you got to
mix in your match at tight End. Over the years,
and this guy looks like he's going to be able

(10:17):
to do some things. Some things that you watch and
you have deeply rooted admiration for others around the NFL
that they're capable of doing. Yeah, I know that. You know,
like like Kelsey is like a oh ho home, you're
gonna talk about this guy again. I know that his
girlfriend or his relationship has kind of overwhelmed his play

(10:39):
on the field. Swamped it if you will, you know,
you're not so much worried about on the field anymore.
All you end up talking about what's going on, you know,
off the field, whether he's doing a podcast with his brother,
or he's ad a Taylor Swift concert or whatever. But
he's a guy that has been for so many years
such a legitimate threat from that position. But man Warren

(11:03):
has just done so much and we're always looking for
that dog. He definitely looks like a dog. Hopefully that's
the case. Again, you get to prove it, but hopefully
that's the case. I mentioned. I double back to Jalen
Jones apparently left as described. We'll talk to Joel A.
Erickson of The Star coming up here in the four

(11:24):
o'clock hour about that situation. Hamstring pain, caught it off.
All these things are not good. Hopefully you just err
on the side of caution and that's that. But the
whole non contact thing and then cart it off seemingly

(11:46):
would and should worry absolutely everybody. So we'll see, and
he's gonna be a guy that's gonna be counted on,
you know, in the running, in the running for the
other side of Mooney, obviously with Kenny Moore back there.
But then you have Juju Brandt who goes out with
a hamstring and he, simply put has been a guy

(12:08):
that you cannot count on to remain healthy, you hope,
because seemingly he has a skill set that's necessary, you hope.
But he's not been able to be counted on so far.
So that is an update right there, and we'll talk
to Joel about the quarterbacks. Somebody had brought this up

(12:28):
to me, and I guess I don't notice because I
don't pay as much attention as everybody else does to
what absolutely everybody is saying. And believe me, all these
guys worked their ass off of covering this team, and
my ass here as hell is not out there until Thursday.
So I give credit where credit is due, always have
and always will. I just haven't noticed that some people

(12:52):
have said, do you know that all you see are
the good plays from Anthony Richardson? You don't really see
too much from Daniel Jones, do you. I haven't really noticed.
And one of the reasons why I haven't noticed is
I have expected the entire time that Richardson was going

(13:15):
to be the guy and was going to start Week
one unless he was just absolutely awful and or unavailable,
as I've explained in the past, if he doesn't, if
you're beaten out by a guy that has been let's

(13:37):
just say it, but the New York Giants, he's been
a disappointment. There's a reason why he was available. Now
I will say this by whatever means necessary. You don't care.
You don't care. But in a perfect world, which we're

(13:59):
far from that, and cert only haven't been that around
here for years. But in a perfect world, you would
much rather see the guy that they drafted number four
overall finally come into his own. But at this point
in time, I mean, hell, you don't care if I
play quarterback, and if I'm good at quarterback. You just
want to go down there and be entertained and see

(14:20):
some winning and not played. Just one weekend into January,
for God's sake, I mentioned the right of passage. It
used to be and now you're stuck in that what
Buffalo was or what the Bengals were back in the day.
You're stuck in that rut where you simply put, can't
get out of it. Into the show yesterday, if somebody

(14:45):
had called, you know, and I can't remember exactly who
it was, was a brand and I don't think it
was Mona on John he was talking about the guy
de Mona and who broke a stick in front of
our faces years ago. But if somebody else that was
talking about yeah, you know, it's a little underwhelming right now,
a little apathetic, and this is something else that the
cults are going to have to do. They're gonna have
to do, They're gonna have to prove. This is not

(15:06):
one of these things where you just show up in
week number one and hey, everybody believes that you're going
to be unbeaten and you're going to the super Bowl.
This is a team that has a lot to live
up to. This is a team that's done basically the
same damn thing for a number of years, and they've
gone with the same group for a number of years,
with the exception now of a defensive coordinator. So I guess,

(15:30):
as you could say if you're from where I'm from
in southern Indiana, ain't nobody buying that blank until you
see it. And that makes a lot of sense. And
then we'll watch for some of the reports on Jalen Jones,
but on Rymond got that extension. We talked about that

(15:52):
last week. There was the art of negotiation that was
going well done by the Austrie. He was on with
Jake and you can kind of tell a little bit
of an angle being presented there. It's what happens. Then
something less than a week later got done. And I

(16:13):
will say this the left tackle, much like what we're
talking about, until proven otherwise, with the team playing well
until proven otherwise, this guy has been legit. That is
a really good thing. Now we'll talk that a lot
of colts for you. Joe a ericson of the Star

(16:35):
a further break. I'm actually watching him in the video.
He was on the side where Braden Smith is talking
on this video right now, and my man is absolutely
sweating through the shirt right there. If you go out
there and you're sitting in a heat like that, do
you strategically wear a shirt to where you don't have

(16:58):
sweat and pitstains anybody do. That doesn't matter because I
would not wear navy blue or gray out there, and
I don't look in the mirror and go. And I
know somebody called me douchey the other day, which yeah,
I do have kind of an issue with that. I'm
trying to keep a competitive balance in my bad right now.

(17:20):
I'm staying hillbilly true to form while also adding a
bit of how'd I describe it, of douche toxicity. So
I'm trying to have an even balance. I think I
have even to out a little bit, but sometimes I
think the douche and this does take over my bad.
Not really worried about what I wear, and I'm sure

(17:40):
I'm not worried about what anybody else wears. What you want,
but I think, strategically speaking, if I'm going to go
out there, it's either going to be something white right,
or like Mike Chappell, I heard him mention yesterday whatever
it was, that he wore a black shirt. Well, you
wear that right, even when it's hot like this, so

(18:02):
you don't sweat your ass off in front absolutely everybody.
I think that's pretty smart. Don't look like sw was it?
Shawn Miller and my Seawan Miller was wearing a white
shirt years ago. Remember when you had the white shirt
on and the undershirt underneath it, and he was just
like sweating. You could like see like he had man
nip showing through and stuff. As the head coach then
of Arizona. Sometimes it just doesn't matter.

Speaker 8 (18:24):
Now.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
No, that's what you guys all expected on this Tuesday
afternoon is some dressing pointers in the heat. For me,
if it were me, I think we all just go
shirtless and call it a day. But among the things
we do in this world, evidently that's frowned upon. So
we won't on Thursday, where also, I believe the forecast

(18:47):
calls for it being much cooler, which is cool by me.
I'll see what up there coming up on Thursday too.
That is a night gathering, and we will be up there.
I have no idea. I will give a shout out.
And he probably heard the crossover with Jake and I
a little bit earlier. Sometimes I tend to get a
little bit salty with those they don't get back with us,
and I know that that's okay, We're not their major focus.

(19:10):
But yeah, I mean at some point maybe you should
and I have to give a tip of the cap
because I have nothing but done nothing but rail on
the Colts for how many years now? And they never
stop putting people on this show, never stop. It is
quite amazing. I mean, railed upon railed upon railed. There's

(19:34):
a video this goes back to I think it was
the combine before last. You guys remember that video with
Chris Baller with me, and you can tell Chris Baalow
would have rather have been anywhere than sitting talking to
my dumbass. You could tell arms are crossed. Hey you

(19:56):
got a root canal or an enema or anything you
can do. Can you get this clown away from me?
With his Q and a bull crap? It was awesome,
But you know what, there he was, and there he
was next year, there they were with a guy. It's
I'll give credit where credit is due. Off the times

(20:16):
when you're hardcore on a team, especially for a number
of years, and that's all they've heard, they can and
would shut you down. But the shout out to Matt
Connie and company for doing that. That is just professionals.
Hell I do. I never try to make it personal.
It is always professional. It may be inaccurate, but nothing's

(20:38):
ever personal. It's just weird. And the one that we
beef on the most, give you the most, and the ones,
oh we can't, we don't have time today. I'm not
really that angry about Felix either. Now if he was

(20:59):
on the play, he was on a plane whatever. But
it's one of those things where had Brent Halverson on
a Thursday and I go, man, you're going to be
driving that grateful dead livery and honestly nobody cares. I mean,
you're out in Laguna, say you're going to Portland. Let's
give you a little bit of love right here. And
then well the timing was off. Okay, sorry about that.

(21:22):
I would come in here and like three I will
say this, James, you can put that out there. If
somebody the Fever would ever call you back, I'll come
here at three in the morning and tape them. I
swear to God, I'll come right in here at three
am and tapeum if anybody ever calls you back. The
one time we got Lexi on this show was because
the trainer listened to the show, remember, and she was

(21:44):
on the training table. Well I'll keep that in mind,
thank you, just say whatever. Twenty four seven three sixty five.
My man's open like seven eleven right here, seven eleven's
back right as a part of speedway. You just tell
him I'm here. I'm here when they need me. Hey,
we were Also, this was at the end of the

(22:05):
show yesterday and I did want to work this in
before the break man Jason Hammer has a new camera
and I swear is it making me look like extra white? Look?
I look like they used to make fun of me
all the time, the baggery at the other station. They
called me powder. You ever see the movie Powder? So

(22:27):
I look like powder? Well, James, I got right. We've
got a little bronzing going on right here? Can you
tell that there's bronzing? So I do a video before
the start of the show with Hammer and Nigel ninety
three WIBC. And I don't know does Hammer put the
damn powder filter on me or what? It looks like.

(22:48):
I've been vacationing in Antarctica.

Speaker 9 (22:51):
It looks like it may just be a little bit
blown out from the lights. It may just.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
So you're saying that I need some special lighting. Yeah, exactly, cool, Okay,
that makes me feel a lot better. We need to
up the production value. Special lighting for this guy.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
Please.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yeah, I actually muffed the post for the first time
in forever, but then I redeemed myself. I didn't hit
to Billy Idole, but I came back and got to
Billy Ocean, so that was good. That video is up
right now if you guys want to check it out.
Matter of fact, I think I've already retweeted that or
I'm sorry re exed it. At this point I should

(23:32):
probably know better. Oh yeah, I did want to mention
this too. When I brought up yesterday at the end
of the show the espresso martini because of Pickle on
Pin where Steve has that on his menu, Pickle on
Pin that, I said that that is like a drink
that maybe the most popular cocktail right now. With the ladies.

(23:56):
Lindsay Monroe counted that and.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
Said absolutely no ditch you.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah nice.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
They had evidently she and Josh at their wedding here
about a month ago, they had that as an espresso
martini bar, so I guess it, Yeah, an espresso martini bar.
They had her at the wedding. At the wedding, so
that's a brown drink. Someone who paid for that. It's
a brown drink and a white dress. You gotta be

(24:23):
you gotta be careful. Yeah, brown drake, white dress. Shout
out to Lindsay and Josh. By the way, I think
they're about a month in being married. Good luck. I'm
just joking now, seriously, you don't need luck. You guys
love one another. Everything will be great. But yeah, Tyrone's
backing me up on that whole Martini thing right there.

(24:45):
We got to talk to Steve sometimes so I can
get into my HEMMI no, my Miami, my uh, my
achilles right here is a little sore. So I agreed
to play hoop tonight. Right now, I would say I'm
fifty to fifty, but I'll probably get a set I
can win here a little bit later on what's happening
right there?

Speaker 9 (25:04):
You still got the boot?

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Got the boot? I wear the boot all the time. Seriously,
I wear the boot. I'm just gonna wear the boot
all the time. Seriously. Why not because I think the
boot helps. They'd have to be an orthopedic surgeon that
could tell me I think the boot actually helps me.
True story. Now quickly, I'll come back. Joel a ericson

(25:27):
of the Star coming up after four. Greg's gonna join
us on the other side. That's Greg Rigstraw. Get a
lot more for you on this show. And yeah, I
know I did jinx the Reds yesterday. I'll try to
make up for that coming up later on today and
I will get into even as a non Cubs fan,
what Ryan Sandberg meant to me. All baseball fans, I'm assuming,

(25:50):
especially if you grew up in my era, would agree.
R Ip to one of the Goats. Quick Break, the

They welcome back now Joel A. Ericsson, the Colts. Basically
a weekend now Thursday from me up in Westfield. I'll
look for you guys all up there too. Who was
it yesterday they called and said they're gonna give me
a beer? Well done. I think the dude said, hey,

(26:47):
well I don't drink, and I said, well, hey I do.
Now I'll see you all up in Westfield coming up
on Thursday. Actually, I think twice I go, this is
they and then next Thursday or two weeks. I don't know,
something like that. I know, see Todd sent me this

(27:08):
schedule about a thousand times. I believe I haven't memorized
by now. But yes, two Thursdays, Yeah.

Speaker 9 (27:13):
Two Thursdays, this Thursday, and then Thursday the fourteenth.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Yes, So I also need to tell my folks I'm
going to do. This is great, right, so I'm doing
some speaking engagement on the fourteenth, some speaking engagement.

Speaker 9 (27:27):
Oh, yes, they may have added another day. Yeah, it
looks like you're there Monday the eleventh.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
Monday the eleventh.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Cool. I think I have a meeting with wind Shoolers.
You know, wind Shoolers. Cheese is coming back. The cheese
is coming out the cheeses because the spreadability is coming back.

Speaker 9 (27:48):
That's been a minute.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah, it's a year before last. Yeah, and we turned
them on their ear or two. They ran out of
cheese everywhere, like the world of spreadable cheese was absolutely
thrown on its ear by being a part of this show.

Speaker 9 (28:01):
That does that mean they're going to come back in
with some free sampling of set product.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
I'm assuming free sampling. I I just got to figure
out in what context I will eat it? How do
I put it?

Speaker 9 (28:13):
That's true?

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Yeah, what do I put it on? Any vexibles?

Speaker 9 (28:17):
Can you mix it with cottage cheese? Or do you
think it goes well on your tuna?

Speaker 3 (28:22):
I don't eat tuna, so yeah, I have to put
it on some sort of vegetable probably probably.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
The spread ability's back coming up this fall, which you
guys have all been waiting on right there on the
Andy Moore Automotive Group hoodline. Something else you were waiting
on Greg Reikstraw, who is not so fresh back from
Iceland and had a planes and trains and automobiles type
of experience trying to get his ass home, didn't.

Speaker 10 (28:47):
You, Buddy, Well, I had to settle for doing three
and a half hours of radio from the brickyard and
not six.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
So yeah, for stepping in. That's always good. That's always good. Here. Hey,
shout out to Todd Meyer, by the way, So Todd
Byer was in Michigan when he was orchestrating this because
of the whole flight situation with you, and was kind
enough to bring me back a case of the Bat's

(29:13):
Blue Light in bottles and a case of the Bat's
Blue non alcoholic in bottles.

Speaker 10 (29:20):
Well, why would you get the non alcoholic, Joe.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
No, it's for somebody else, not for me. Okay, now
it's all I go alcoholic, go home. That's what they say.

Speaker 10 (29:29):
So you did two and a half hours of radio
and you got a case of the Bats, and you
got an Iceland football chart out of there.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Yes, I did win for years. That was a big
win right there. Now, where are you with the Bat's Blue?

Speaker 10 (29:41):
If somebody hands me a cold beer, I'll drink it, John,
that's going to where I'm at.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
I loved the Bats, but I drank le Bat's Blue
in college and Indian of the State.

Speaker 10 (29:51):
I think all of us went through a Canadian beer
phase in college.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
We did it.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
For me.

Speaker 5 (29:57):
It was Molson Canadian.

Speaker 10 (29:59):
Was the beer nineteen ninety five?

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Was it Molson Golden? Do they still make Molson Golden?
That was popular back in the nineties two.

Speaker 10 (30:08):
It was just straight Molson Canadian. There was a Triple
A baseball team in Vancouver that was the Canadians, and
basically it was the logo off of the beer bottle,
and so that was, you know, whatever, Molson Eyes because
we were you know, we grew up in the ice
beer age.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yes, we did.

Speaker 10 (30:25):
Do you'll make the beer cool, just put ice on
the name. It makes it be cool, right right. So
add to Molson Eyes because I did have a can
of the Trip for like a week when I was
in college in the summer of ninety five. But of
the Molson family of beers, Molson Canadian was my favorite.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Do you think ice Tea or ice Cube ever tried
to sue because they were the major reasons why I
always felt the ice beer craze took place in the nineties.

Speaker 10 (30:51):
No, man, it was what made him popular. Is it
was free advertising for him?

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Oh you think so? And there was absolutely like Ice
Cubes was always trying to make a buck out of that.
I'd think he'd the first one to go, well, wait
a minute, all of a sudden we got all this
ice stuff going on.

Speaker 10 (31:04):
Both those guys have fared pretty well in life. I
think you made it out, Okay.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
I will tell you this. There was a I went
through a small craze in the late nineties early two
thousands with J. W. Dundee's Honey Brown Did you nevergot
about it until I found out it was like five
hundred calories of bottle.

Speaker 10 (31:26):
Well, apparently I've been drinking them for some time and
apparently JW.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Did you ever have any j W. Dundees Brown.

Speaker 10 (31:33):
It was phenomenal beer, I know what, like drinking a
cinnamon role apparently, And I.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Went through a lot of the the ice beer phase
of the Bat's blue phase, the amstell light phase. I
had some of that last weekend and it wasn't what
I thought. It was amstill light, so yeah, but also JW.
Honey Brown.

Speaker 10 (31:52):
We we would have to pay the rent kegger last
Friday of every month, and one day we stumbled into
getting a Killian's Irish red keg, and like this pre
social media, words spread around on campus and the party
got just a little bit too big. I was getting
a little bit nervous, yes, but Rehet was well paid
that month.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
ME tell you over in Tera Hate at the then
and I'm obviously with somebody else now. But in ninety
three ninety two, ninety three was a party cast go
over on Third Street and we would go get a
keg of bush Light draft. That was the go too.
But I would take because they would send me back
to the cooler and I would like carry it out.

(32:34):
I would take one of the lids the Heineken caps
off the Heineken keg and then put that with and
people would go up and like like pump the keg
and think that it was Heineken, when in fact it
was bush light draft. I thought that was savvy as hell.

Speaker 10 (32:49):
And they frankly wouldn't know the difference.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
It wouldn't.

Speaker 10 (32:52):
So the mini bar in the room on the cruise,
you know, had like two coach two four things and Tito's,
a couple of bottles of Heavy and the Heavy Phenomenal,
and a couple of Heinekens, and basically we had the packageer.
You could drink anywhere on the boat, you know, for free.
And so it was a lot of mccartis and.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
Coach because they're on vacations.

Speaker 10 (33:10):
What you do even with fifty five degrees right, you know,
I would have penia coladas looking at icebergs. It was
a wonderful trip. I had the one Heineken in my
room and I got about happening him like this is
absolute swill. So yes, playing that off as a bush
light is perfectly bolt.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
Up by you.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Oh yeah, hey, by the way, gritty says Molsten Golden
was our beer of choice at the Office Lounge in
the early nineties. That's the Office Lounge on the East
third Street in Bloomington. That's a place where we need
a tavern tour stop the Office Lounge in Bloomington.

Speaker 10 (33:40):
For sure, you're pimping out. You had one tavern two
or stup available. There you go, are you going to beat.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
And that would be what you know we're going to
in September, We're doing a largecaebourbon locks and the Lunazul
tequila shots from the upstairs pub.

Speaker 10 (33:52):
There you go. That's nice, well done.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
That is nice. Hey, I wanted to ask you regarding
a lot is made about the quarter of situation. Somebody
had said, all we do is see they're really good
throws by Richardson, and you know that's just angling to
give him the starting job. And while I listen, it's
okay if you described this as a competition, the worst
case scenario in this competition is if Richardson gets beaten

(34:18):
out in it. Would you not agree?

Speaker 10 (34:20):
Yeah, I would agree with that, But again I legitimately
think whoever the better quarterbacks is at the end of
August will be the starter. Because everybody knows you've got
to win now or if not, it's reset time. I
will say this, having been there for the last three practices,
I have seen more good than bad from Anthony Richardson.
You're seeing some more touch on some throws, and it's

(34:42):
not just the you know, fifty yard bomb. He's throwing
the outs a lot better. There's still some bad plays
in there, Like literally, there's this little set they run
on the goal line today that is supposed to be
kind of a shovel pass to Tyler war and he
threw it from four feet away, through it a foot

(35:02):
behind him, and I'm like, I'm like, I could make
that throw. How are you missing that? But at the
same time, I've been watching the last couple of days,
I saw more good plays than bad, and I saw
throws that have given him fits be done better. Is
it perfect though? But did he kind of look more
like the guy as a rookie that was a sixty

(35:23):
percent passer, which is much closer to what you need
to be in the National Footballleague to be successful than
say being a guy who was subbed fifty percent, which
gets people fired. He looked more like like like the
first guy I mentioned. So there's still there's still a
lot of proof of the pudding in terms of what
he looks like in preseason games, what he looks like
in regular season games, but based on what on all

(35:45):
we have to judge it on. So far through a
week of training camp, there are places where I see
improvement from Anthony Richards.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Greg Gregsaw's on the Andy Moore autoim ontive group pile line.
He was at coach practice a little bit earlier today.
That's probably all out in the proverbial wash here on
either side. But do you think that it is more
this wide receiving corps that would have the opportunity because
I think that we downplay them a little bit, or

(36:13):
they're downplayed nationally a little bit because they haven't had
an accurate quarterback throwing to them. I think if somebody
is in their general vicinity, I think they can make
that somebody look good. Do you think that is a
possibility or is it more you have to be on
target with these guys to make the quarterback whomever this

(36:36):
is going to be, look good.

Speaker 10 (36:37):
I really don't have a question about the about the
skill position players for the Colts. I honestly don't now
other than quarterback that Obviously we have questions about that,
but Jonavan Taylor, we know what he's about. Tyler Warren,
we saw it at Penn State, and I think that
still set translates to the National Football League. There are
questions about a d Mitchell. Again, he made some nice

(37:00):
plays today too, but frankly, you know, he's kind of
fourth a depth chart right now. And I like the
three guys that are in front of him in terms
of Pierce, in terms of downs, in terms of Pittman.
So I do think this wide receiver group is solid
and capable. I like what the edition of Warren is
a tied end. We know what Jonathan Taylor is about.

(37:20):
There's always question marks in every team if somebody were
to get hurt, but I you know whoever the quarterback
is going to be. I think that quarterback has the
skill position weapons to be successful.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Greg graystraws with us. We both grew up Reds fans. However,
I'm assuming if you're like me, and you are, you
had a great deal of admiration because in the cable era,
even though I didn't have it, I got to see
it more often than not at different places that you
saw the afternoon comes games and he was an incredibly

(37:54):
special player, and yesterday we learned he passed away. What
Ryan and Sanborg is a player mean to you as
a budding baseball fan in the.

Speaker 10 (38:03):
Day, Well, obviously you saw him in every All Star
Game for the other part of a decade. And yes
there was the rub that all of baseball got, but
especially the Cubs in the Atlanta Braves because you knew
they were going to be on every day. And I
think you and I lived a similar existence. My guess
is you didn't get cable until you went to college

(38:23):
for the first time.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Nineteen eighty eight, we got a satellite dish, one of
those big moon Raker things that got everything. That's the
first time I had cable.

Speaker 10 (38:32):
For some reason. My mom and dad got satellite when
I moved away, too, so I literally I remember being
able to watch the US Open on you say in
the fall of ninety four, I moved to the University
of Indianapolis, thinking cable is great. I may never leave
the room again. So did I watch Rono play on
WGN when I was at a buddy's house or staying
with somebody. But was there more love for him nationally

(38:58):
because of the timing of when he played for the Cubs. Yes,
but was he a no doubt about thet Hall of Famer. Absolutely,
and for the most part, other than eighty four and
eighty nine, he was a great player on bad teams,
you know, for the better part of a decade. So
any one of our age knows how wonderful of a
baseball player Ryan Sandberg was. And frankly, virtually every story

(39:23):
you have heard over the last twenty four hours since
his passion became public was that. I mean, in virtually
every meeting in a public setting. He was an absolutely
first class person too.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
Speaking of baseball, I'm trying really hard not to junks
the Reds, but I may have done it with Lance
McAllister yesterday. Every time I get excited about this group,
they end up crapping the bed every time.

Speaker 10 (39:44):
There is something to be said about playing the Dodgers.
The Dodgers are pretty good, so maybe that was more
about what the Dodgers did.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Right, Yeah, but the Reds are still, organizationally speaking, habitual bedcrappers.

Speaker 10 (39:58):
They also have a couple of to get teams in
front of them too, so they're at least in the mix,
which they were at the start.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
Of the season.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
Greg Reigshaw's on the Andy Moore on a Motive Group plotline.
Hopefully I see you out there on Thursday. How about
that you will not come.

Speaker 10 (40:14):
I'm booked elsewhere on Thursday. I've got the City League
Finals on Thursday, So my next appearance at Colts Camp
will be on Sunday. But I'm sure our pass will.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
Cross the City League Finals at Basketball that is basketball.

Speaker 10 (40:28):
That it's twenty to thirty year old Basketball League. A
lot of the guys that have played in that final
over the years were actually playing in the TVT event
in Wichita this weekend the fale Harder team, So it
has kind of some different teams. So Aaron Henry, Robert Glenn,
Tayshawn Johnson, Trevion Blewett, We're all playing in the men's

(40:49):
championship game, which is at a twenty. The WIMS championship
game has three of the Gods sisters on one team.
The other team is led by Ali Becky, who just
graduated at Ball State from Browns is part of their
state runner up team four years ago and they are
playing for a cash prize honor fitness center at Tech
and we'll have that for a six consecutive year on

(41:11):
ISC women's game at seven o'clock men's game at eight twenty.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
Well done, right there. Jesse Bengam was playing on that
TV t right on Fail Harder.

Speaker 10 (41:20):
Yeah, he was on the Failed Heart So Darius Adams, Yeah,
obviously you ind legend has been over in China.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
He put up forty two in that game the other.

Speaker 10 (41:28):
Night, which is kind of what Darius has done as
a probe for the better part of the last ten
to fifteen years. But Kobe Webster from Park Tudor was
a big part of that, and those guys made it
as difficult as possible and came damn close to making
in the semi finals.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Greg Greg straws are the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline.

We have a grilled chip club.

Speaker 11 (44:00):
I've got twist cheese, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, mayo.
It is piled high. That is phenomenal. What else do
we have grilled chicken on salads? Southwest Traves tender one
at that place. We do not fried tenderloin. Where's your
tenderloin rank? Compared to everybody thinks they have a great

(44:22):
tender loin?

Speaker 4 (44:22):
Everybody?

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Yeah, everybody.

Speaker 11 (44:24):
I mean, I can't speak to it because I haven't
tried our tenderloin.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
But isn't one of the big things. It looks like homeplate.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
It is pretty fig it is pretty big. It is
pretty big.

Speaker 11 (44:32):
But the reviews say that our tender one is phenomenal,
so I'll have to try it and get back to
you on that.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
One phenomenal tenderline. Do now do you give a like
a decent sized bun or do you have a little
tiny bun in the middle of this big tender loin.

Speaker 11 (44:43):
It is our our classic bun. It's a sweet potato bun.
So you know it does look kind of comical sometimes
with the tender loin. You have a classic, but you
can get an extra bun on the side as well,
extra bun, extra bun. So does anybody ever say, give
me a little extra bun with that?

Speaker 3 (44:58):
Absolutely? I'm always on the I often wondered with those
big tender lains. Does anybody say, why are you even
giving me this little piece of bond here?

Speaker 1 (45:05):
I agree, No, I agree with you.

Speaker 11 (45:07):
That's why this is the extra bun is classic. You know,
cut the ten or one in a half, get two
buns going?

Speaker 3 (45:12):
All right? When are you go to put some haliban
on the menu? Is that coming?

Speaker 11 (45:16):
Ooh, hall of it, that's a new request. I'll have
to look into that one.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
I think we can make that dig allibit, buddy.

Speaker 11 (45:22):
We had Walleye a couple of seasons ago and it
was just on the menu seasonally, so halib hal of
it not not impossibly.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
I dig the salmon though, man, I do. Yes, I
don't know who creates the salmon in the kitchen, but
it is exceptional salmon.

Speaker 11 (45:36):
Brother, it was chef Epsy today, so yeah, straight from
the head chef herself, so I'm sure that it's phenomenal.

oh seven five Thefan dot Com. Charles Arbuckle joins us

(48:01):
on the show coming up tomorrow. I am going to
be at Colts Camp in Westfield for the first time
on Thursday. And you know, oddly enough, all that it
takes is finally giving me the opportunity to go and
attend and do the show up there. And the skies
that were clear clear even more, the temperatures, the humidity

(48:25):
all fall and yeah, it becomes shangri la to a degree,
who's been fighting through the heats. Well. Our next guest
on the Andy Moore Automotive Group Potline from the Indianapolis Star,
he covers the Colts. Joe A. Erickson was us and
you know I've mentioned this before. Unfortunately, at the age
of fifty five, I'm kind of this perfect mixture between

(48:47):
hillbilly and douchey. So the douchey and me wanted to know,
do you, strategically during these hot and humid days like today,
for example, select a shirt so you don't get sweat
and pit stains going when you're covering the colts up there.

Speaker 6 (49:05):
You know what, that's a that's a good question. Uh
we what a time I always have, so I'm kind
of out of luck on that, but I do pretty
much the uh the dry fits now. If I have
to do spot for my friends at Fox fifty nine
and TVs four, yes, often breathe a second T shirt,

(49:28):
a second polo shirt in order to, uh to avoid
some of those those issues.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
So unlike you, when I'm on with our friends, you
do first, and Joel, I do when they call me,
and most of the time i'm you know, hopefully I'm
not drunk on a Sunday to come on their Sunday show.
Uh normally I do it shirtless. So yeah, there's a
huge gap between our professionalism right there on Fox fifty nine,

(49:55):
and I can only imagine whom they like better. Joel
at this point in time, have you or me on.

Speaker 6 (50:02):
Well, well, I think sometimes we shared the same show
because you're on Blue Zone as well. Yeah yeah, and
usually usually that's my recap part once we get to
the season, So we we shared the same show. Now,
obviously as you're doing oh I'm doing it from the stadium,
we're gonna have a little bit different modes addressed.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
I thought that I was as responsible as two weeks ago.
Phil called me and he goes, hey, you want to
come on and do a tape segment. I think Hagen
was out, he was someplace else, and I said, yeah, Phil,
but man, it is entirely possible that I Am going
to be way, way too much in the bag by
the time taping rolls around here. So he goes, hey,

(50:43):
you know what, just go ahead and stay ahead, stay
with what you're doing right there, because there has been
a time before they go would you mind taping this over? Yeah,
David over a yet if you guys will. But no,
it's a fun group and that's part of it too.
I mean, you're more of the serious newsworthy and I'm

(51:04):
you know, more of the douchey, jack assery kind of thing.
So it's kind of you know, you get you get
service from both angles, which I think is good and
and you know this to be true. It is a
very good group to be a part of and to
work with, even though I do it for free. How
about that? So I do it for free. I do
it for free because Hagen does it for free for me,

(51:25):
just like you do. So but hey, I was thinking
about you. We just popped open a little field of
Dreams with Drew Storn his product.

Speaker 6 (51:35):
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
We just popped open a little field of dreams and
they have baseball players on on the cork on the
lid the cork, if you will. And we just popped
open and field of dreams about an hour ago, and
Robin you Out was the player on the cork. But
that is that your favorite brewer of all time? Robin
you Out.

Speaker 6 (51:57):
I'm a little bit young. He's my favorite. But he's
by far and away the greatest brew of all time.
There's really no comparison.

Speaker 3 (52:05):
To agreed and he is. He stayed there, he never
left whereas Moltor left, and you know, delivered in Toronto
as well. I am a big fan of Harvey's Wallbangers
in eighty two and one because I hate the Cardinals,
but I wanted to see Milwaukee, you know, when they
were a part of the American League. Then they were

(52:27):
in the eighty two World Series, and wanted to see
them win. But from youw to Malitor to Gantner to Ogil,
v Cecil, Cooper, Gorman, Thomas, Ted Simmons, you know, Vukevich.
And I don't know if you knew this or not,
but I was talking to Taekwon Lewis last week. Taekwan
Lewis's hometown is Tarboro, North Carolina. Is also the hometown

(52:51):
of former right hander Mike Caldwell of the Milwaukee Yes.

Speaker 6 (52:55):
I I did not know that anymore. Is now d L. Hall,
who's on the current Brewers.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
Okay, that's awesome.

Speaker 6 (53:04):
That's the other that's the other Colts player connection there.
Getting went out and visited their training camp this year
and didn't didn't know I was a Bruise fan. So
I commented on it. I think I got myself in
trouble a little bit, but it works out. He knows
I'm a Bruise fan. Now we got it figured out.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
Did you see our guy Yoho go out there and
Pitts last night.

Speaker 6 (53:26):
I did, I did. I. I keep waiting They they
need to give him a little bit more of a chance.
But I get it. Yeah, you get two guys on
and in that series, you're gonna have to go to
the closer.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (53:39):
I've been pulling for Yoho for a while now. I
keep waiting for a chance for him to be on
the roster so my kids can go to a game
and hold up a word from Fisher's two side.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
Yeah, well see it's awesome. Yoho, by the way, is
a name synonymous where I'm from in Green County. Green
it is. It is Yoho Is. I didn't even know
there's a Yoho that I work with from Zinc that
I think lives in Plainfield, But I didn't know the
yo Ho's got all the way up in Hamilton County

(54:10):
like that. And and Craig Yoho is one. I felt
bad for him last night because when he faced that
last hitter and and walked him the uh, the walk
to the mound was not There was a lot of
mumbling going on when he was taken out. If you
could tell last night, little red face mumbling going on.

Speaker 6 (54:30):
Yeah, Pat, Pat doesn't, that's not really. You know, the
new school manager is uh, you know, very calm and
collected and you know, never let his emotions show. But
Pat Pat Murphy is not in new school. He's very
old school.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
He was not happy at all. And I got to
get Craig Yoho on this show at some point. I
don't think he's ever been on. But it is a
cool as hell story. And obviously, the Brewers beat the
Cubs last night, Dodgers beat the Reds last night. That's
what's going on in the NL Central. I didn't want
to ask you this regarding the Colts to start so much, Joel.
The focus has been on the quarterback situation. Uh, there's

(55:07):
no no matter if it's Richardson, if it's you know,
Daniel Jones. Is there anything significant, either good or bad,
that a lot of people are missing out on because
there is so much of a laser focus on the
quarterback situation and position right now.

Speaker 6 (55:25):
I I kind of would say, I don't. I don't
think so because I think the one development that it's early.
You don't know if this is a thing or not,
but it's just really the receiver who's been the most consistent,
who has been really good, so far As, but Alex Pearson,
there's been some inconsistency elsewhere. But I think if you're

(55:46):
I think if you're paying attention to the quarterback battle
and really living and dying on it, you probably know
that from reading the stuff we've written from out there,
I think that's the only thing. I think everything else
has kind of the little bit the way we expected
it to. I think that what we've learned is, you know,
over the years here is that as much as you

(56:09):
want the quarterback to not matter as to have an
outside impact on this football team, I think Colts fans
might now know that's that's just what's going to happen.
So yeah, I kind of think that I kind of
get it when it comes to focusing hard on the
quarterback position. Although I did tell myself after I've typed

(56:30):
up my observations today, I made a note I got
to have a little bit more on the other parts
of the roster and not just on the quarterback position.

Speaker 12 (56:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:38):
See, And it's funny here where we kind of play
the hits, and certainly that is the bit that's like
the Rick Astley and never going to give you up
in nineteen eighty seven, eighty eight right here. Just see
you play it absolutely, you know, non stop or the
chumbulwumba tub thumping of the nineties, you play it non stop.
It's certainly worthy of it. But it's funny. I have

(57:01):
a lot of confidence Joel in the pass catchers because
I believe there'll be a lot of talent there. But
if there has been, you know, a major negative so far,
and not just in terms of a d Mitchell, it
seems like that from what you guys are talking about,
there have been a number and really any numbers too many,
A number of drops in the first week of Canadar.

Speaker 6 (57:24):
Yeah, it remains me seeing if that's just sort of
a rough thing and we won't see it after the
first week. You know, it's small sample size, it's practiced.
You've got to try to you always put that in there.
But there have been drops, you know, Michael Pittman's had
some drops, Josh Allinson has had some drops, Tyler Warren
has had fewer I think outright drops. I think there

(57:45):
have been some contested catch opportunities, but you probably want
your tight end to come away with that. He hasn't
necessarily come away with I do think the completion percentages
of both Richardson and Jones would be higher if they'd
been a little more handed. We'll find out as it
goes along and as we get into the real stuff
and the games, if this is, you know, something to

(58:07):
worry about or something not to worry about. You know,
I think most fans know. There was the Jamar Chase's
rookie year in Cincinnati.

Speaker 13 (58:14):
There was the Jamar Chase is dropping everything in camp
and then he went out and had incredible season anyway,
so you tend to write some of that stuff off,
but then there's other training camp stuff that ends up
becoming a thing.

Speaker 6 (58:25):
So it's just hard to know. All you can do
is kind of want it and write down what you
see and then make note of it for later.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
If you were going to think during the season, is
this wide receiving group, and let's go ahead, and I'm
a factor in Warren as well, because it is something
we'll get into that in just a second what he
is doing so far and hopefully that is a translation
as a rookie to the regular season as well. But
is this pass catching group good enough to raise the

(58:55):
game of either one of these quarterbacks significantly? To you?

Speaker 6 (59:01):
That's a great question. I think they've got enough to
help a quarterback in terms of in terms of raising
their game. I I think that it's it's probably hard
for a receiving corps to do that. I think what
what we've seen here is that the quarterback ends up
affecting the pass catcher more than than the other way around,

(59:21):
you know. I think Alex Pierce is maybe the best example.
He definitely made strides over the last year, but a
big difference for for him, you know, from his first
two years to last year was last year he had
quarterbacks who were willing to throw it to him down
the field, you know, and and some of that stuff
is is kind of out of his control. I do

(59:43):
think though, that they have you know, they've kind of
got every type of target for him. They've got guys
who can do a little bit of everything. I think
Shane Stiken does a pretty good job of getting those
guys open based on what we've seen in the first
two years. I think that's all there. I think I
think the question I have is do they have the
quarterbacks to take advantage of, you know, kind of the

(01:00:05):
skill set. They don't have the they don't have the
Jamar Chase. They don't have a guy who can do everything,
but they've got a lot of guys who can do
a lot of different things. That usually is enough if
the quarterback can take advantage of it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
Right side interior or offensive line, which obviously would hard
target center and right guard. Any concerns there at all,
because I think everybody feels good about Ryman and Nelson
and it looks like that you have a rejuvenated and
in a great place Braden Smith from what we understood
yesterday when he was talking to you guys today or yes,

(01:00:38):
I think it was yesterday, in fact he was talking
to you guys, But whatever the case, are there any
concerns on the interior that offensive line there? On the right.

Speaker 6 (01:00:45):
Side, I think the position I'm focused on right now
is center. They're not really rotating macenzalve that right guard Munch,
which tells me that they're pretty confident in and we'll
we'll find out in the regular season that's not really
his natural position, but we'll find out in the regular
season if day confidence is warranted center. Right now, it
has been a very even competition between Tanner, Bordolini and

(01:01:08):
Danny Pinner in terms of staffs. So one guy is
getting one day, the other guy is getting the next day.
They're not really deviating from that. I think that's the
position I'm kind of paying the closest attention to right
now and wondering, you know, he's borderlining, maybe not taking
the step that they want that kind of thing in
terms of you want that pick to develop into the starter.

(01:01:30):
But through the first six days it's been very even
between those two.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
What if your eyeballs told you if anything whatsoever. I
don't know if it'd be definitive, but at least descriptively.
What if your eyeballs told you about Spencer straighter? Because
I kind of want to know what is going to
work for them? What are they going to trust with him?
How trustworthy might they be with him in this training

(01:01:55):
camp in the preseason.

Speaker 5 (01:01:56):
What do you think?

Speaker 6 (01:01:57):
I I think that the the biggest kicks are coming
starting with Thursday night, starting with that big practice Thursday night.
The special teams coordinator there, Brian Mason, is really really
good about this. Cat's laying it all out there for us,
and he told us today he gave us all the numbers.
He's thirty nine and forty three, and the kicks they've

(01:02:18):
graded through the first seven days or whatever. Trader has
been good. Trigo kind of had a rough week last week,
and then he bounced back this week and made all
his kicks. I think the biggest kicks though, are the
ones they're looking at that night practice as a pressure practice.
The joint practice is coming up, and then obviously the
big kicks in the preseason games is when I think

(01:02:39):
that that we're going to really find out how they
feel about Spencer Trader or Matti TriGeo.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
If Trader falters, Joey Erickson of Stars on the Andy
Moore out of Monday, if group potline, the show is
going to be up there coming up on Thursday. Getting
you said for the night gathering at Grant Park in
Westfield with the Colts. I brought up Tyler Warren the
rookie a little bit earlier, and yeah, I think with
good reason. He's been conversationally at a very high level

(01:03:05):
so far and less than a week of camp underway
and Westfield. Do you think that they're going to utilize
him as much as some would suggest or believe they might,
or is this one of these camp stories that once
you get into the regular season that kind of Phades
a little bit. What do you think, No, I think they're.

Speaker 6 (01:03:26):
Gonna use I think going back to the uh the offseason,
you know, in the spring, back in May and June,
I think it feels like they want him to be
a big piece of this. And the interesting thing to
me is going to be what do we see them
do with all of those other skills that he has
with other tight ends. Don't you know the shortyardagibility as

(01:03:48):
a quarterback? You know, can you use can you use
that as a as a wildcat? But not just as
a wildcat? Like, does that make him a better screen
player than we've seen from the tight ends?

Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
You know?

Speaker 6 (01:03:58):
Can you throw in the shovel? That kind of stuff
is interesting to me. They need those run after the
catch type of players in the offense, and obviously he's
that kind of guy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
Yeah, it sounds I mean, that's simply put. I don't
know when's the last time, other than Dallas Clark, when
there was something and he maybe even goes a couple
of more dimensions than Dallas did because it really wasn't
necessary to get that stinking tricky back in the day
with Dallas Clark. But seems like he is a Swiss

(01:04:32):
army knife type that we have not seen certainly at
that position here before.

Speaker 6 (01:04:38):
Yeah, and I think that the running ability kind of
makes him I'm trying to think of another tight end
who kind of has that where you can I mean,
there's some guys who are good after the catch, but
they're more you know, down the field, open field. He's
a guy who's comfortable around the line of scrimmage, and
I think that that kind of makes him a different
There was a play in practice the other day where

(01:05:01):
Richardson threw it behind him on a screen and just
stuck his left hand back and just caught it with
one hand and kept going in traffic at the line
of scrimmage like a running back. That's that's just kind
of a different skill set that you see from most
tight ends. And it's really interesting to see how they
use him. And also, just like with everybody else, how
do the quarterback play affect him.

Speaker 3 (01:05:23):
Yeah, there's no doubt. Well, I think at this point
until further notice, I'd like to see this group have
the opportunity to raise the game. As I mentioned a
little bit earlier of the quarterback position. But you know,
in the past, we've seen with Richardson, it's been so
far inaccurate where most of the time it hasn't been possible.

(01:05:44):
But then Joel I bring that up, and then it's
been very descriptive about how many drops we have seen
in almost the first week of camp. So you know,
one of these days maybe the planets will align and
we'll get the opportunity to see something more legitimate. In
this case, hopefully it isn't as bad as it sounded.
Non contact caught it off doesn't sound good whatsoever. Anything

(01:06:07):
regarding Jalen Jones you can make us aware of.

Speaker 6 (01:06:10):
I would just say that as hamstrings go, it it
didn't look great, you know, live he really pulled up
hard and went to the ground and didn't really didn't
really move the karting off. They kind of do that
with everybody because their medical facility part is so far
away from the practice field here. But I did think

(01:06:33):
that that it looked like it was you know, he
felt that grab pretty tightly in his leg, and you know,
hamstring injuries can can be nagging. I think everybody knows that,
and if they're serious, they can they can last a
little bit longer. So I have some some concern on
that just based on what we saw a lot of

(01:06:54):
times when a guy pulled a hamstring, you know, they
kind of run through it a little bit. He couldn't
do that at all. He really pulled up hard on
that injury. And that's that's that's that's tough to see
for a guy who's you know, really locked into kind
of a competition for his spot.

Speaker 3 (01:07:10):
Yeah, yeah, Juju Brent's hamstring. Obviously, injuries with Juju is
something that seems uh somewhat, if not certainly customary with
his time with the Colds. What's the word there?

Speaker 6 (01:07:25):
Uh, that one's interesting. We didn't see. He wasn't out
there today. We talked to him yesterday, so you don't
know when it happened. We didn't get to see that one.
I think anytime there's a hamstring, though, you gotta think,
like even even the most minor hamstring, you gotta immediately
kind of think a week, uh maybe a little bit
longer than that, you know. I know in the NFL

(01:07:47):
sometimes guys played through hamstrings, which I give it up
to them, because yeah, you know, usually when you have
a hamstring, you never know when it's gonna grab on
you and you can't run. But Uh, yeah, this time
of year, you figure that's at least a week and
that's he's right in there with Justin Waally too, and
Wally right now is the only one healthy in that competition.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
It's funny. I don't know. Maybe it's because he's got
a little bit of that local lean For me. I
just think that if he could piece together some quality availability,
he's going to be a guy in a season with
lou Anroumo in this defense where everybody's going to be
glad and he's going to go. People are going to go,

(01:08:27):
oh wow, this is what you've been waiting on. But
it all hinges on any sort of consistent availability.

Speaker 8 (01:08:36):
Yeah, he's looked good when when he's been out there
for practice so far, he had an interception in one practice.

Speaker 4 (01:08:43):
He's made some plays on the ball.

Speaker 8 (01:08:45):
I think. I think that's kind of how his career's
gone too. I think when he's been on the field,
we've seen good stuff from him. He just hasn't been
able to stay on the field, like you said, and
I think if you can get him a run of
healthy play, I still think there's something in there. It's just, man,
it's gotta be tough every time you feel like you're
getting going again to have have your body kind of

(01:09:08):
let you down a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:09:09):
Are you a Bucks guy, Joel Milwaukee.

Speaker 8 (01:09:11):
I'm not.

Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
I'm not.

Speaker 8 (01:09:13):
That's the one team growing up in Wisconsin that I
never really got into. I I decided David Robinson was
my favorite player when I was like five.

Speaker 4 (01:09:24):
I'm a Spurs guy.

Speaker 3 (01:09:25):
Okay, that makes that makes sense. I was gonna I
was gonna ask you the old Miles question, but since
you're not a Bucks guy, you probably don't give a damn.
That's all good, man, all good. But I can go
I can go deep on the Brewers. I can go
back before you were born. On the Brewers. There were
some great eras I. I was always a big rob

(01:09:46):
deer guy. There was. I love the all or nothing
dudes of Major League Baseball back in the day. Loved it.

Speaker 8 (01:09:52):
Did you Did you see what they did last week
with their alumni event?

Speaker 3 (01:09:58):
I didn't.

Speaker 8 (01:09:59):
So they had the twenty five years of I think
of it as Miller Park, but they call it American
Family Field now, and they brought back a player from
every year ostensibly or whatever. But then they took ten
guys recently retired guys and had a home run derby.
So Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, Corey Hart, all these guys

(01:10:21):
from the recent teams came back and did like an
impromptu home run derby. It was awesome. It was like
it looked like the coolest thing, Like what a great
I like every franchise should copy that if they have
their guys within the right age range, you know, get
a chance to see these guys that like. You know
that the Fielder and Braun, those guys are the ones

(01:10:42):
that ended the playoffs drout in two thousand and eight.
They brought them all back packed house on a Friday
against the Marlins and watched those guys hit. And the
other thing that I didn't know what they were going
to be able to hit, you know, not playing baseball
for a while. Just about every one of them hit
them like actual legitimate homers. Really cool event, like the
kind of thing that more Major League teams should do.

Speaker 3 (01:11:02):
And I love that stuff too. I agree. I absolutely
there was nothing even going way back to when I was,
you know, growing up, you had the old timers play,
and you know, some of those guys out there could
still swing it. It was pretty fun to watch some couldn't,
but some could. I mean if the Reds.

Speaker 8 (01:11:18):
If the red said Joey Vono is going to get
batting practice after.

Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
A game, yes, every Red fan mcgokus, everybody well, and
oftentimes it would be more interesting than what the product
would be on the field. So yes, Like like last night,
I could see that, I could see that come. I
was telling Greg Ragshaw this. I said, you know, last
night I kind of junked the Reds because I had
lace McAllister on and talked up that serious starter with
the Dodgers, and he said, well, the Dodgers are pretty good,

(01:11:44):
but the Reds are very well known as being habitual bedcrappers.
That's exactly what they are. So when there's an opportunity
to craft the bed, they're probably going to take advantage
of it. That's kind of what it looked like at times.
Dodgers are good, but that's what at times looked like
last night, first and Joel on Fox fifty nine, when

(01:12:04):
are we going to see you again?

Speaker 8 (01:12:07):
It will be I have I believe I have segments
taping on Thursday, or maybe not, maybe not taping. I
might be live on Thursday from out there right around
the time you'll be getting done with your show, I.

Speaker 3 (01:12:18):
Believe awesome, and then on Sunday first and Joel and
then me shirtless with John. So I'll be honest, great Joel,
I appreciate it. We'll see it Thursday. Okay, we'll see
on Thursday Joel a Ericson of The Star and Andy
Moore Automotive Group Potline. I shall take a break, but
I will talk with you on the other side if

(01:12:38):
you feel inclined, that'd be great. If not cool, I'll
get a ton of yip yap about the Triple A

We'll come back. We got a lot more for you.
Do not go anywhere. Kyle Neddin Rip's got some stuff
for us. Top of the five o'clock Coward, ninety three
to five, one oh seven five Fan, the Ride with JMV.

Speaker 5 (01:13:46):
It's called sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries.
It's quite pungent. Stings the nostrils ninety three five and
one oh seven five the Fan.

Speaker 3 (01:13:59):
All Right, an official weather announcement. Ninety five degrees everybody today,
So this would make this day? What's the date? It's
the twenty ninth, the twenty ninth of July, the hottest

(01:14:23):
day of the year so far, ninety five. So if
it's ninety five degrees officially, you know, oftentimes you know,
people you know have their their own weather systems, their
own readings. What does it say where you are? I've
always said this. I went two years to Vincent's University,

(01:14:45):
so did James and Vincent's and Evansville. For whatever reason,
I'm sure that there is something geographically as to the
reason why. But Vincen's and Evansville and southwestern and Indiana
is always like five degrees hotter than everyplace else. And

(01:15:06):
Vince Sand's is kind of liking a bowl, the bowl
of the wall, bash that bowel bowl ninety five degrees.
So I wonder that Vince Sand's gotta be like ninety eight.
Evansville is probably what ninety nine gritty? What's Evansville right now?
One hundred and one ninety five degrees the hottest day

(01:15:30):
of the year so far in Indianapolis ninety five Now
that's still see speaking of ninety five, remember when a
ninety five mile an hour fast ball was fast considered. Wow,
that's fast. He throws hunk ninety five miles an hour.
Now nobody's eyes. Pop it to you guy, you go

(01:15:52):
a buck two or something like that. Ninety five degrees, James,
look up the official temp right now in Evansville, Indiana.
What's it say? It's gotta be ninety eight down there,
gotta be and Vincen's too. Check out Vincen's.

Speaker 9 (01:16:15):
In Evansville. It's actually only ninety three.

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
Ohh they have cloud covered down there. In Vanderburgh County.
I'm guessing that's what that doesn't follow along with my theory.
That debunks my theory altogether.

Speaker 4 (01:16:26):
That sucks.

Speaker 9 (01:16:27):
And Vincen's is ninety two ninety two. What I wonder though,
if it might be more humid or anything down there.

Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
Gritty says this live from Evansville, Indiana. This is the
heart of Vanderburgh County. Is Gritty feels like one oh five?
It's ninety three from what Gritty says, feels like one
o five overnight low seventy three. Did you ever think
that Vincen's was just I always thought it was a

(01:17:00):
place in Indiana.

Speaker 9 (01:17:01):
It was quite hot when I was there.

Speaker 5 (01:17:02):
Yeah, love me. Some vincends Man.

in the NFL building that was awful yesterday.

Speaker 6 (01:18:32):
Yeah, Yeah, I heard about that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
Was that was There's a lot of disruption on the
subways yesterday too.

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
I was actually I was coming home from work, so
I didn't hear about n til I got home. Yeah,
why I didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
I didn't think I heard about it until this morning.
But yeah, some some frightening, frightening stuff and loss of life,
just terrible, terrible situations, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
Yeah, I know, I think I got a buddy of
mine that works now. But I mean I've been in
that building, uh on Punk Avenue.

Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
Yeah, the guy went the guy went up with the
gun in the wrong He was going to the NFL,
but he went up the wrong elevator. Yeah, some awful,
awful stuff. What do you got, Mike.

Speaker 2 (01:19:14):
Yeah, we're sharing the pain here with the Asia reference. Uh,
because we're baking over here on the Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:19:21):
Really, what's the what's the temp in the borough of.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
Brooklyn, right, But it's the indexes like in the hundreds,
So I don't I don't even want to know, to
be honest with you, it's just hot. I don't even
want to go outside.

Speaker 3 (01:19:33):
So like our vision here because we're all country folk
here in the Hoosier State. So does Mike and Brooklyn
does he go to the corner and pop open the
fire plug to cool down what you're doing?

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
Not anymore when I was when I was younger.

Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
Yeah, I know, I sound like I sound like the
Fresh Prance right there with that, but.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think there's still summer because they're
not about here. Stays under that condition.

Speaker 3 (01:20:01):
I know, you want to talk about the college, what
you got?

Speaker 2 (01:20:04):
Yeah, you know, I'm still processing the sad news with
your mercy passing. Yeah, you know, definitely the end of
an era. And these guys just did a great job,
you know, putting at this perspective what a impact he
had in the community and listening to everybody from rig
Ventore and Peyton and Reggie Wayne and you know boost arians.

Speaker 3 (01:20:25):
I found myself. I found myself. I mean you just
miss it because I mean there's such a significant piece
that is now missing. I mean you miss it for
that reason. I just I missed. I miss his presence.
I always thought, all right, so you know, what are
we going to see in social media? You know it's

(01:20:46):
it's going to be something in that in that game
in which he normally goes into the booth with a
rakestraw and venturi. You know what's going to take place
there and how that's going to be an asked. You
find yourself certain fishing his presence in in general. And
he was a genuine dude, There's no doubt.

Speaker 2 (01:21:04):
Yeah for me, you know, a Colt fans and seventy five,
you know nothing. And you know Jim was older than me,
you know, but he was like the guy kind of guy.
I was like, this guy is actually the owner and
he's actually the GM when he's in his twenties, you know,
I was still in a teenager And I do have
one Jim Mersey story that I had forgotten about.

Speaker 6 (01:21:24):
You'll remember this.

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
It was the nineteen ninety two season when I was
at the Meadowlands. Back then, I was sitting behind the
colt's bench and Ted Machibroda benched Jeff George and he
threw like a hissy fit, you know, like a kindergarten
a kid. He threw his helmet. I was sitting right
behind the coat bets. He threw his helmet and he

(01:21:45):
started pouting. He put his jacket on, and he went
and stood at the end of the sideline like a kid,
not talking to anybody. And at some point and that
in that off season when Jim was Jim Mersay was
the general manager, I wrote him a letter, like a
handwritten letter to I was like, you know, this guy,
you know whatever, you know, We're never gonna win with
this guy, or something along those lines. And uh. A

(01:22:09):
couple of days later I got a deliver autograph football
from the entire team and then and I was like what.
Then I was thinking, well.

Speaker 10 (01:22:17):
Wait a second, how did he how.

Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
Did he know where to send this? And then I
must have remembered, like like I just like readden the
handle I must have put, you know, returned to dress
on it. Sure, and I just thought it was like
the coolest thing is like he actually took the time
to like, you know, he sent me like an autograph
football from the entire team.

Speaker 3 (01:22:34):
You know, that's awesome, That is awesome. Yeah, and yeah,
you've missed him so far. We've missed him so far.
But it's even going to be more profound when the
season officially gets underway. It just it will. I mean,
that's that's something where you know, regardless of what you do,
and I mean he's he was even as you know,

(01:22:58):
you know, one of you know, the the richest dudes
in the state of Indiana. The money and the team
ownership and all that. You know, he had a lot
of the same situations and many of the demons that
that we all have.

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
Just so and he was and he was a fan.
He was a fan at home. I remember that and
that I got a kick out of him when they
did that. Uh was that thing. And he's got his
he's got his lucky hats, and he's got his rituals
watching the game.

Speaker 3 (01:23:28):
And the last dext message his last post was go
Pacers and you know, good luck to I mean, it's
just uh yeah, it's it's tough, and it'll be there'll
be moments, there'll be more moments than not when you're
gonna go, wow, you know these are some things that
that you miss h I have missed you as well.

What what's the nicest high school football stadium? What's the
best And I'm not just talking about with history, but

(01:25:06):
what is the best high school football stadium in the
state of Indiana. I don't know if anybody have seen
the Georgia High School football stadium. That's just cracking open.
But that's ridiculous right there. That story more Kyle coming
up at the top of the hour. We're not too
far away from the start of the high school football season.

(01:25:27):
Kyle will give us a little bit of insight on
what to expect, he joins us coming up at five.

Evansville Rights High School? The Rights bowl sits up on

(01:26:37):
a hill overlooking the Ohio kind of right at a

But I asked the question a little bit earlier. What
is I guess I probably should have added, what is
the nicest, most expensive of the high school football stadiums

(01:27:00):
in the state of Indiana. This is something if I remember,
I'll ask Kyle Neednrip coming up at the top of
the hour. And the reason why I brought this up
is because I saw this. This was according to the
sports and business Joe pomp Planano. Let me go ahead
and butcher that name for everybody. Hey, he's only got

(01:27:20):
six hundred and two thousand followers, so he's relatively important.
So Joe with a last name, I Butcher had set
this out. Buford High School in Georgia has officially opened
its new get this sixty two million dollar football stadium.

(01:27:43):
I'm gonna tell you what, not even Race Kilman's paying
for that sixty two million dollar football stadium. Ten k
in seats, James fifteen luxury suites by the way, Look
up Buford High School a Georgia. Where is that located?
I'm assuming around Atlanta? Maybe wrong. A thirty five thousand

(01:28:09):
square foot video scoreboard, two story fieldhouse with locker rooms.
Sixty two million. When you see this is absurd. I
went to Eastern Green. We didn't even have football when

(01:28:31):
I went to Eastern Green. Incredible, this place is what
do what ticket prices are? What are sweet prices? Ten
thousand seats, sixty two million dollars football steadiu? I mean

(01:28:57):
it reminds me to ask Kyle neddrip this at the
top of the It's pretty damn interesting right there. Not
know what people would suggest would be the nicest one
around here. Hey give me Nick before the top of
the hour, would you, James, please Nick join the show?
How are you, sir?

Speaker 12 (01:29:15):
Johnny never better?

Speaker 4 (01:29:16):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (01:29:17):
Nick? I'm fantastic, good By.

Speaker 12 (01:29:22):
The way, football is not really our gig here, but
Newcastle has quite an arena for basketball.

Speaker 3 (01:29:32):
Sixty sixty two million dollars, buddy, I know, I know
sixty two.

Speaker 12 (01:29:40):
I was calling in for a different reason, which was
you had told a story about bush Light.

Speaker 5 (01:29:49):
Putting Heineken cap on the keg.

Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
Yes.

Speaker 12 (01:29:53):
Yeah, well look, I I grew up here, but went
to school out in the East Coast, and so we
would get Milwaukee's best as our kegs. Yes, and we
were not so high and mighty as to get a
Heineken tag to put the cap on. But ours was
Rolling Rock.

Speaker 3 (01:30:13):
Yes, well that's all. That's a very That's a very
pretentious green bottled beer, too, is it not. I mean
I have a Rolling Rocks as pretentious a beer as Heineken.
Is it not just from this country? Yeah, I mean
from you know the what is from old Latrobe? Rolling Rock? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:30:34):
No, no, no, I know.

Speaker 3 (01:30:35):
Our friend, by the way, a Pennsylvania, our friend Eddie White,
a Pennsylvania is going to be very offended by this conversation,
by the way, but it is a very pretentious beer.

Speaker 5 (01:30:46):
It is very douchey.

Speaker 12 (01:30:47):
So yes, I've got I've got a follow up story
to that. There is a locale that I.

Speaker 6 (01:30:55):
Went to.

Speaker 12 (01:30:58):
In the nor Well side of Indianapolis that is named
after the street it's on, and it's a pub and
it's eighty sixth Street. Yeah, and so you can do
the math on that. And they had in the evening
where they said domestic bottles were two dollars. And I

(01:31:20):
had a friend go up to who's from Buffalo, not
from Minneapolis, who went up to the bar and ordered
a rolling rock and they said that'll be three point fifty.
And he said, well, wait, domestic bottles are two dollars,
and they said that's an import.

Speaker 3 (01:31:43):
Hey to put a cap on it. By the way,
the eighty six Street pub no longer is in existence,
is it.

Speaker 12 (01:31:50):
I well, look, I haven't been there.

Speaker 3 (01:31:52):
And I found a shirt. I found a shirt of that,
am And thank you Nick for the call. I appreciate
that I found a shirt of that in my closet
I had. And this is douche tacula right here. I
had a douchey acquaintance that would hold an empty, an
empty rolling rock bottle at the bar because he didn't

(01:32:15):
want to buy another one. He didn't want to drink
another one. And he thought he looked cool. That's a
true story, true story about Ola Trobe. Quick break back

Speaker 3 (01:33:48):
Do it because I there. Let's just face it. If
I'm going to do an All Requests Saturday night, I
can't jack around with their catalog because there's not enough
in it. And there's nothing against them because you know,
all these nerds have told them in the past, well,
you got to keep this playlist tight.

Speaker 5 (01:34:03):
Gotta keep it tight, you know what I mean?

Speaker 9 (01:34:05):
If I'm not mistaken to the the just the regular subscription.
I'm not even sure you can pick the songs you
can like pick. I would like to hear this shuffle them.

Speaker 3 (01:34:14):

names we used to make. You know, I'd take a
TDK or a Maxel tape and make a mixtape right
back in the day, the jmv's kick Ass mixtape. I'd
ride on the side of it.

Speaker 9 (01:34:48):
You have any of those kicking around anywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:34:50):
Here's what I have and this is embarrassing. And I
found him the other day. I have a bunch of
old Vin sins and then B ninety seven audition tapes
where you you think I sound bad? Now, Holy crap.

Speaker 9 (01:35:05):
We gotta like find a way to scan those and
digitize ods.

Speaker 3 (01:35:08):
We can have them so bad. I have a Southern
draw and a lisp. It is so bad. Somebody out
there say, well, you're really bad right now, and you're right,
but you have no idea what bad sounds like until
you hear that.

Speaker 9 (01:35:26):
I would pay good money to hear these taps.

Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
It is so bad, so bad, I cannot believe anybody goes, yeah,
I think we should hire this guy. Not good vincents
some Indiana state ones in there. B ninety seven. I
got some commercials for B ninety seven in Bloomington.

Speaker 9 (01:35:45):
So I've got some hard drives of me doing sports
casts and stuff where I'm in a suit and ton
But who.

Speaker 3 (01:35:52):
Bad bad I'll tell you what's good. The covered high
school athletics is done at the most elite level with
Kyle Netting rip of the Star who joins us now
and Andy Moore out of Motive Group hotline. So are
you ready? Are you in uh football operational mode right now?
Or are you still taking that time off to get going?

Speaker 4 (01:36:14):
Well? I was hoping to hear some smoke on the
water from Deep Purple now that you know you brought
that The Eastern greenplay that still?

Speaker 3 (01:36:21):
You know what we ran out to? Seriously, the band
played Peter Gunn. When we ran out, we ran out
of the locker room and we ran through one of
those uh those paper hoops that had like stuff hunting
on it, like you know, beat the hell out of
the Cardinals, Bloomfield or whatever. We ran through one of
those paper hoops to Peter Gunn. Hey play Peter gun

(01:36:46):
really quick. What did you run out to, Kyle?

Speaker 10 (01:36:49):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:36:51):
They played I remember them playing the Jay Giles band
centerfold that the band would play that awesome?

Speaker 3 (01:37:00):
Should have played that?

Speaker 4 (01:37:01):
Yeah, they we actually ran out to Thunderstruck.

Speaker 3 (01:37:05):
Oh see, there you go. Here's what we ran out to.
Right here.

Speaker 9 (01:37:08):
Who is Peter Gunnby Because of multiple options play I've
got Blues brothers play.

Speaker 3 (01:37:15):
The Art of Noise. Yeah, I think that's what we
ran out to from nineteen eighty seven. This is what
we ran out to. I have no idea why to
this day. I better stroke the three when we ran

(01:37:38):
out to this because there's no excitement being built with
this is their Kyle No.

Speaker 4 (01:37:42):
I mean, I guess it gets you in sort of
a melodic states or something. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:37:48):
Yeah, well, Art of Noise, I think. I think what
happened is I think our band learned one song that
year and that was it.

Speaker 4 (01:37:57):
Hey, I'm always in any band who who does it
in person, I'm all for it. I mean, I love
it when the high school basketball starts and the band
is there, I'll give them credit for just doing it.

Speaker 3 (01:38:08):
Yes, here's what I bring this up all the time.
Like we talked about how high school athletics have changed,
but when you look at at bands and choirs, the
level Like I went to a choir concert that my
daughter was a part of. At the end of this
last year at Center Grove. I'm absolutely floored. It looked

(01:38:32):
to me like it was better than a Vegas show
or a Broadway show. I was absolutely floored. And you know,
when I was in high school or in junior high
when you'd go to a choir Christmas concert and be
a bunch of rooms standing up on stage singing let
it snow or something. But this was incredible. And nobody

(01:38:53):
makes a mistake, and you've got all these moving parts.
So we talk all the time, and rightly. So it's
a sports show about how you know, things are you know,
more athletic and you know, more high level now in
athletics than they were back then. But man, this other stuff,
the band and the choir stuff is incredible to me.

Speaker 4 (01:39:14):
You're absolutely right. And I and I you know, and
and the kids who are in those you acchoir band, uh,
you know, the arts, you know, they're they're doing it
for you know, they don't they don't get the support
necessarily like the athletes do. But man, I've been around
some really awesome experiences, you know, just covering high school
sports and getting to see the singers and the you know,

(01:39:37):
the the bands and stuff like that. It. Really it
adds so much to the experience. It's hard to put
into words how different the experiences when the band is
there and they're they're doing stuff like that to spice everything.
But it's it's you know, I love that part of it.
And high school football starts here in a month or so.
That's to me, that's part of the fun of it.
Is like, man, you know, every it's it's ball, especially

(01:40:00):
at the start of school. Everybody's excited and it's almost
like a whole community experience, and that that is a
part of it too that sometimes we overlook. But you're
absolutely right. It's it's getting a lot, you know, it's
it's it's crazy how much time those kids put into it,
and it's awesome to see when they do get recognized.

Speaker 3 (01:40:16):
I saw a first hand within and these these choir
folks work every bit as hard as these athletes do.
Serious absolutely, I mean, they put in just as much time,
if not more than the the athletes, and it's crazy.
This is Kyle Netwerp of the Stars on the Andy
Morrill Automotive Group hotline. I know you and others at
the start I have been a part of, you know,
going to these these older gyms and and celebrating that,

(01:40:38):
and these all all been great pieces. What I was
thinking about today because I saw a story online a
little bit earlier there's a high school in Georgia, Kyle
that just built, just opened, in fact, a football stadium
that costs sixty two million dollars with ten thousand seats,

(01:40:59):
fifteen luxuyes, thirty five hundred square foot video scoreboard, two
story field house with locker rooms. Buford High School in
Georgia is the location against sixty two million dollars. So
it got me thinking, what's the nicest, most expensive I
guess you would say high school football stadium in Indiana.

Speaker 4 (01:41:20):
Well, the way it seems like, the way that they've
been built, it's been more of like additions. You know,
we've seen you know, stadiums at already in place, and said,
I only think.

Speaker 3 (01:41:30):
Gray Skillman's putting sixty two MILLI into one of these
stadiums here, is he?

Speaker 4 (01:41:34):
No? No, I don't think. And it's been kind of
a piecemeal type thing, you know, the improvements that have
been done to places like Center Grove and you know,
all of really if you drive around the four sixty
five and look, you know an outside for sixty five
all of the six A football facilities. Carmel's got one
going now, Brownsburg has redone theirs completely. It's it's really

(01:41:55):
really nice. You know, Avon's doing a lot of stuff.
You know, so all those suburban schools in the township
schools have put a lot of money into not only football,
but you know, facilities in general here in the last
you know, five years or so, so you're seeing a
lot of upgrades happening, and you know, it's it's kind

(01:42:15):
of the keeping up with the Joneses thing anymore, you know,
to you know, it's sort of the you know, the
view of your school sometimes is based on right or wrong.
It's it's what you're doing with your athletic programs and
the part of that facilities and namely a lot of
times the football stadium. So you're seeing a lot of
upgrades here in the last few years, for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:42:34):
Yeah, no doubt about that. But sixty two million dollars
is rather incredible. You mentioned the start of the high
school football season about a month away, as many schools
in bark later on this week to back to school.
Is it same old situation in each class right now
or do we have some newcomers to the high level

(01:42:55):
game going into twenty twenty five here, Well, you.

Speaker 4 (01:42:59):
Have there are some changes this year with you know this.
You know, Decatur Central actually is moving. They won five
A last year and they're bumping up to six A
with the success factor that Ice Stay has in place,
So that'll be that'll be a little bit different, uh
than than what we've seen in the past. This is
their first time playing six A football, so you know,

(01:43:19):
I think they they definitely have the talent to compete
at that level. You know, a lot of a lot
of their skill position talent is back, including Kashmir Hicks,
Who's who's going to IU to play receiver, you know,
and they're replacing Cathedral basically in that sectional. Cathedral is
bumping back down to five A. So you know, that's
a little bit of a change that we'll see. And

(01:43:40):
you know Decatur will get a chance early in the season.
You know, they play Avon and Newpal. I can't remember
the order of that game those games, but they'll play
those two teams early that will give them a good
sense of maybe how good they are. But also Newpal's
bumping up from four A to five A and UH
Heritage Hills to which won three A last year, is
going to So there are some significant changes from the

(01:44:03):
defending champions of last year. So you know that'll add
a little bit of a difference. And it's not a
it's not a reclass year either, but you know, now
that they're doing these uh success factors annually, you'll see
some changes every year by the success factors, So you
know that has changed some some you know, some of

(01:44:24):
the landscape of it a bit. But I think six
A is going to be great. It always is. You know,
Brownsburg won it last year, but you know there's several
teams you know that that will have a good chance
kind of like every year in six A and you know,
as we know, it's so hard to repeat in that class.
So you know, I expect that will be a really competitive,
you know class like it is every year, especially around

(01:44:45):
the Indianapolis area.

Speaker 3 (01:44:46):
Individual talent. Yeah, I know we're not into it just yet,
but expectations compared to for example, what we saw a
year ago, who may stand out? Who are we watching
for here in am months or so from now to.

Speaker 4 (01:45:01):
Start, I would see I wrote a little bit about
the kind of the mister football favorites going into the season,
and you know from a you know, from a standpoint
of you know, the people who can win it. It's
normally a skill position player, obviously, the the quarterbacks, receivers,
running backs. Who are you know, kind of the top
of that list. And I would say, you know, early on,

(01:45:23):
Jet Goldsberry comes to mind from Heritage Hills. He's a quarterback,
but we'll we'll be more of an athlete at Ole
Miss where he's headed, probably a secondary player for them,
but he's going to put up good numbers. He's already
got a state title under his belt. Casmir Hicks so
I mentioned from Decatur also in that boat of he's
already won a state title going to IU, which I

(01:45:46):
think will help his case. And he's a receiver. He's
going to put up numbers at that spot. And then another guy,
I'll give you a third name, or maybe four, but
I would say Deacon King from from Westfield, a two
way player. He's going than Illinois, but he plays running
back in safety, so I think he's a name to
watch potentially. And then JJ Finch also for more in

(01:46:08):
Central he's a defensive player, which that's pretty rare that
a defensive player would be in the mix for mister Football.
But you know, he's his numbers are incredible and he's
going to Alabama, so he's obviously very talented. So but yeah,
he's gonna put up big numbers on defense. Probably you know,
might not be enough to get him over the hunt
for the big award, but you know, definitely a guy

(01:46:29):
who should be named in that mix for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:46:32):
It is amazing to see him. I mentioned this years
ago and it's it's only gotten better. Just you know
what you see with the the high level team wise,
it's one thing and you brought up all these teams
and with a success factor, some moving up, maybe one
like Cathedral moving down. But individually speaking, the talent's never
been better around here in football. There's no doubt about that.

Speaker 4 (01:46:55):
No, the depth, the depth is just really good. I
mentioned six A, you know, but it's every class. You know,
there's there's just a lot of talent in every class,
and it's it's competitive, it's uh, you know, there's there's
people who definitely you know, would like to see the
tournament seeded maybe to get that, you know, to make
that a little bit more interesting maybe, But from at

(01:47:15):
any rate. It's it's always competitive in the tournament, uh
six A around here, especially the big schools are you know,
kind of knocking heads every year, and you do end
up seeing a lot of some of the same names
at the end of the year. But you've seen also
schools like you know, Westfield breakthrough in these last few
years and become one of those major players in six A.
And you know they've they've gone head to head with

(01:47:36):
with some really good teams. You know, we saw Brownsburg
for the first time in six A win it last year.
You know, they finally get over the hump and made
a tournament run, you know. So you see you have
some other teams competing with the Center Grows, the Warrens,
the Ben Davises of the world, who are also very
good every year. But I think that adds a little
bit to it too, when you get some new blood
in there and see some different teams get to the

(01:47:58):
finals and eventually win it all.

Speaker 3 (01:48:00):
Right, So last year Mark zachary I won Mister Football
last year, right, and he played dual role both offensive defense.
Has there ever been just a singular defensive player to
win that award?

Speaker 4 (01:48:13):
No, you know, not really I mean Zachary, You're right,
I mean he was a defensive player.

Speaker 3 (01:48:18):
I think Drake Bowen did the same thing, right. There
have been a number of guys, because you have that
level of talent, that have played both sides. Jason Warner
comes to mind. I think Jason wanted a wide receiver
and safety at Ron Colly two years ago. So some
guys come to.

Speaker 4 (01:48:32):
Yeah, yeah, those are good names to mention because all
those guys were defensive guys. But also, you know, you'd
be stupid not to play Mark Zachary on offense or
Jason Warner on offense, so that you know those guys
played offense. They put up numbers, big numbers on offense.
Drake Bowen was a running back as well as linebacker
who was exceptional. That was fun to watch him play

(01:48:54):
high school football. But yeah, most of those guys, you know,
if you're gonna if you're a mister football type a fleet,
you're probably going to play some offense too. So it
hasn't really been a case where you know, and JJ
Finch would be you know, he's one who you know,
he basically all he's a defensive end, so he's not
playing much offense or any offense, but so he would
be in that boat of a defense only guy. But yeah,

(01:49:16):
most of the time the guys who play you know,
defense who want it, are also playing offense for their
high school teams.

Speaker 3 (01:49:22):
At least he's Colin Nett and Rip of the Star.
He's on the Andymore Automotive Group hotline. Curious as far
as the end of the high school schedule was basically
back in June with baseball and that conclusion, So what
have been what's been the major story? Maybe the major
storyline is we have entered no high school athletics and

(01:49:45):
then restart this thing coming up in a month or so,
actually earlier than that, considering I'm sure volleyball and other
sports are going to start prior to right.

Speaker 4 (01:49:53):
Yeah, you'll have some other golf and whatnot getting going here.
But but yeah, I mean kind of the the big
thing's been the transfer rule. I would say, you know,
that went into effect on June first, you know, so
a lot of questions about that. A lot of you know,
kids who have moved, you know kids who moved, and
that's normal, you know, I tell people too, it's it's

(01:50:13):
that's not that unusual. We always have transfers. But now
it's just going to be you know, it's gonna be
a little different, I would say, And you get a
mixed opinions on whether it's good or bad, like a
lot of things in this world. But uh, that's probably
been the biggest thing as far as like just changes
in high school athletics from a standpoint of just you know,
the landscape of it all. But uh, and you know

(01:50:35):
it'll be I think, and we won't even know for sure,
probably for you know, a couple of years, you know,
how this Paul plays out. I think there's going to
be good and bad to it. I asked a lot
for an upcoming story some of the kids about it,
and you know, there's mixed opinions from kids who some
say it's good, some say, you know, I would never transfer,
and and but I'm you know, they they think it's

(01:50:56):
good for kids maybe who may not have an opportunity
at their school to play, to maybe go to a
smaller school or a different school to have that chance.
So uh, but yeah, I think that's a that's a
pretty significant change that was made. And you know it's
still night, says hands to make decisions on you know,
the transfer rule and to be able to kind of

(01:51:17):
meet out the decisions. So you know, it's not in
the hands of the legislature, so it's i'd say, still
making those decisions. But but some of the rule changes
have you know, maybe made things a little bit more
black and white than they used to be, which I
think can be a good thing moving forward. But yeah,
we'll see how that plays out. But I think that's
probably the biggest thing going on from a just an

(01:51:38):
overall high school sports standpoint. A lot of conference changes
and things like that. But but but but I would
say the transfer things is probably number one right now.

Speaker 3 (01:51:47):
I know, I thought for sure you're going to say,
you can't believe that Josh Thompson went from bar Reeve
to Lagodi as they had basketball coach. You've got to
be a little bit insane to do that, don't you not,
Because it's a bad gig. But yeah, yeah, good luck
in that area going from one to the other. Josh,
come on, who's a good dude, by the way, really
good dude.

Speaker 4 (01:52:07):
Yeah he is. I ran to him at the Charlie Hughes.
But yeah, that was interesting, interesting move down in that
part of the state. So but yeah, but yeah, that'll be.
There were a lot of coaching changes too this year
there and Corey Taylor. Just today, I've hired at Avon,
who was interim coach at BD a couple of years ago.
But I think that almost closes the cycle here in

(01:52:32):
Central Indiana anyway, Unless I'm missing somebody, I probably am,
But I think we're pretty much said. As far as
basketball coaching changes being.

Speaker 3 (01:52:40):
You mentioned you know where because you're obviously from there, Brownsburg,
and you know how consistent they are across the board athletically.
We know about Ben Davis. Where's Avon in that category
right now? As they hire the new basketball coach across
the board? As far as consistent, high level winning in
athletics out.

Speaker 4 (01:52:59):
There, Avon's on the rise. I would say football, basketball,
a lot of sports that a lot of sports have
been good at. Maybe they don't maybe get the headlines
of football and basketball, but I would say both sports.
You know, Drew Shaus was just there for four years
and I thought did a really good job. They were
a twenty win team last year, you know, two years
ago won a sectional and then last year, you know,

(01:53:21):
in a very competitive sectional with with Brownsburg, Ben Davis
Pike in Plainfield, which that's going to be a dynamite
sectional this coming year. But I would say, you know,
they're definitely on the rise. I think Corey's gonna do
a good job there. He's you know, had that experience
two years ago as the as the interim coach, so
I think, you know, highly of him and and the
job he'll do there. And then the football team, you know,

(01:53:44):
they were you know Rob Gibson who coached Owen Valley
before he got the Avon job and kind of got
that program really jump started. But he's come in and
done a good job for that football team. But you know,
again they're it's tough with you know, when you're in
the HCC, you know you're playing these these tough teams
a weekend, week out. Their quarterback I hurt early in

(01:54:05):
the season last year, so they only finished three and seven,
but it was an improvement from where they were the
previous year. And you know, I think they're you know,
they're definitely a team that I think could get over
the hump this year and be a be a winning team. Uh,
if they can stay healthy and those sorts of things.
But you know, their facilities again much better than they were.
Their weight room is is stop notch, and you know,

(01:54:27):
I think they're on the rise in a lot of
different sports.

Speaker 3 (01:54:29):
Well I bring that up because you talk about in
closing here Hendricks County or Western Marion County. You get
Ben Davis, you get playing field. You know, Moresville gets
talked about. I mentioned Brownsburg and even further west. You
go all the way to Danville and everybody gets talked about,
you know, high level wise, but oftentimes in the middle
of that conversation you don't hear a great deal about

(01:54:51):
Avon And kind of wonder if the tide we'll turn
it a little bit now for the.

Speaker 4 (01:54:55):
Orioles, definitely, And you know Mark Buss, you know when
he was coached there, they were you know, they were
really good for a while. You know, they were they
were always competing with you know, they were beating Ben Davis.
Was kind of back and forth they beat them or
or you know, they'd get be buying, but they were
in the mix anyway. And then I think it was
twenty fifteen, you know, they went down to Center Grove

(01:55:16):
and you know, played a classic. It was one of
the best games I've ever seen in the semi State
against Center Grove and Center Grove beat him. It was
here when they had Brandon Peters at quarterback and they
were just really really good and lost by a point
in double overtime. That team could have definitely won State,
you know, if they would have won that game, but
that was you know, So what I'm saying is basically,

(01:55:38):
sometimes you miss those chances. You know how much that
may have changed, I don't know, you know, the future
of the programmer. They were good for a few years
after that under Mark Blest, but then they kind of
fell off and they're trying to build back to that.
So you know, they're a team that has talent. It's
just a matter of, you know, kind of getting things
going in the right direction. Football. That's hard sometimes because

(01:55:58):
you're you know, it's you're against teams that are established
in your neighborhood. So but I do think they're a
team that definitely has a chance this year to you
probably want to keep your eye on what they do
and be curious about how their season transpires.

Speaker 3 (01:56:13):
He is Kyle Neddon rip of The Star. We're slowly
but surely kick starting again. The twenty five twenty six
high school Athletics schedule. He's with us on the Andy
Moore Automotive Group pile line. Good update. We'll do it
again very soon because, as you mentioned, about a month
away from the start of the football season. Man, I
always appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (01:56:34):
Hey, no problem, John, anytime, and you have a good one.
We'll we'll talk to you soon.

Speaker 3 (01:56:38):
Kyle Nedding rip on the Andy Moore Automotive Group pile line.
Nobody is better. He is outstanding, no doubt about that.
I just saw. Oh okay, forget that. Yeah, you know, Jason,

(01:56:58):
I should have brought up my bad and where Sergie
is Sorge's kid at try West? We got James with.

Speaker 5 (01:57:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:57:13):
Thees. I think Sorgie's kids a quarterback at try West.
I know I'd bring up like Western Marion and Hendrix
County and let you know, Jason, that's terrible, bad host.
Quickly we'll come back. Hey, we're me and and you
and the rest of the way. You guys go with
that to three nine ten seventy tomorrow's show. Charles Arbuckle,

(01:57:35):
I'm gonna have somebody for the Colts. I just have
no idea what's going to be yet, and then I'll
be out in Westfield's coming up on Thursday to see
all of you, just in time for the night gathering
that's Thursday in Westfield, all of us together with ninety
three five one oh seven five the Fan, the ride

(01:57:56):
with JMV.

Speaker 14 (01:57:57):
The only time I have my radio on is in
my car and the only thing I listened to is JMB.

Speaker 7 (01:58:03):
Ninety three to five and one oh seven five the Fan. Oh,
the legend reporter right there. Yeah, I mentioned tomorrow Charles R.
Buckle Well, the Colts conversation with Charles coming up at
the five o'clock hour tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:58:18):
Somebody from the Colts. I just don't know who's going
to be yet. And then Thursday, Thursday on the road
in Westfield. It does kind of stink because we're not
out at any bars or restaurants this week, but in
the not so distant future we are going to be
out and be out all the time. I will say this,

(01:58:41):
I think I have done and will have done once
the calendar year changes. I think I will have done
more remotes than I've ever done in one year, and
probably because of the Pacer Run, because we were out
so much. Now, there was a time years ago when

(01:59:03):
I did some Mondays. If you remember, there was always
like a blue Monday. It was a time I went
to the O Charlie's locations where I think there's like
two still there was a time we went to Buffalo
Wild Wings on Mondays for like a Blue Monday, and
there was a lot, but that I don't think that
included the Thursdays that was prior to the start of

(01:59:24):
Thursdays with Brett Holverson in the large and the Bourbon
locks and Lunazul tequila shots. But so many on site
and those are the absolute best because I get to
hang out with you guys and have a hell of
a time, but so many because of the significant pacers
run and taking the NBA seas into the distance. It

(01:59:48):
has been one hell of a time. So I guess
a little bit of a week off. This may be
the second week that I haven't been out at a
bar or restaurant. Hell, I don't know, going all the
way back to I don't know, between the cold season
probably and Mark's madness. Maybe there was a time in February,

(02:00:09):
but not very many. Hell of a year so far,
everybody and you guys have been such a huge part
of it. T Shaw writes this JMV. Was this the
time of year you would go to the Bloomington Sears
and get your tough skins for the upcoming school year?
In fact, I would tough skins and t shaw. There

(02:00:34):
would always be a great deal of sadness, and not
because it's time to go back to school. There was
sadness there, but not as significant as having to shop
in the husky category for tough skins. Husky, you know
what husky meant, James.

Speaker 9 (02:00:55):
I'm assuming it's a beefier, bigger man.

Speaker 3 (02:00:58):
Yeah, husky mint. You gotta get the fat jeans, buddy
here here in the fat gen section. I know. Hey,
listen T show, everybody's everybody else is getting all there.
You know how hard it was to squeeze my big
ass back in the day into something from Chess King.

Speaker 9 (02:01:18):
Do you still have all your clothes from before you
lost started losing weight? I do sounds like one of
those things where we needed to do a emotional photo
shoot for it.

Speaker 3 (02:01:28):
Fir See, Like I talk about it all the time
and people think I do these videos where I'm you know,
kind of you know, shirtless or I'm not sure I
am shirtless, but you know, not I do these videos.
I do the videos to promote the shows. I do
the on air stuff to promote obviously and give testimonials

(02:01:51):
for the product, which has worked dramatically for me. But yeah,
I don't take photographs of myself and I haven't done that.
I haven't done one before and after yet.

Speaker 9 (02:02:01):
Is there a specific reason.

Speaker 3 (02:02:03):
There was one? Because we haven't brought this up other
than once the passing of Ryan Samberg. Ryan Samberg did
an appearance with the Indians at Victory Field. This is
probably six seven years ago, and Tony Donnie and I
went down on the field with him. Have you seen
that picture? Look up that picture. Tony Donahue has it

(02:02:24):
on his ex account. That was me like six or
seven years ago. And that that would be a significant
before and after what it not?

Speaker 9 (02:02:37):
That is a big difference right there.

Speaker 3 (02:02:39):
Because that that dude right there's a big old go
wait a minute, I still have that shirt, that shirt.
I'd swim in that shirt now. Obviously it was yeah,
look at that thing though, Send that bad boy out
right there. Nah. But yeah, to answer your question, Yeah,

(02:03:04):
getting the husky section of of sears and tough skids
was a ride of passage for me. Back in the day.
That's a true story right there. Sears was the place though,
because you can go get everything, the angle of the toys.
They had a nice toy selection at Sears if they

(02:03:26):
had records at one point in time too. Yeah JMB.
The pain and stigma of the husky childhood is real
night I always say too. With this boy loss one's
seventy four probably right now is where I am.

Speaker 4 (02:03:47):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:03:47):
That's why I weighed when I was fifteen, But now
it's it's funny to look at that picture with the
late Ryan Samberg and Tony Donahue from about six or
seven years ago. I think it was Yeah, Skivy says,
Chess King all those places. It was tough on me,

(02:04:08):
Chess King, Merry go round because back then, I mean
it was all slim fit and me trying to squeeze
at times into a pair of parachute pads. It something
now quick break will come back. If you're on hold,
I'll get to you. If you guys want to hear
more horror stories of me growing up, I have many

(02:04:32):
for you right here. And you talk about making whatever
significant negative moments you went through growing up sound better.
I'm your man. I've got you covered. My horse stories
are the absolute best or the worst, however you may
judge him. Quick Break Will Come Back fifty embedding fifty

That is the Harrows Hoosia Park Race of the Day
fifteen betting fifteen Dining and racing now through November at
Harrows Hoosier Park, Racing and Casino and Anderson. I have
not been there in a while to do a live show,
so ay, let's get going. I have not been there.

(02:06:00):
I think it was the last time we were at
Harrizoushia Park Tony Rins. When are we going? Brother? Ben
in Greenwood writes this, if I lost that much weight, JAMV,
you couldn't get me to put his shirt on. Why
are you swimming in his shirt?

Speaker 4 (02:06:14):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:06:14):
No, no, no, I was swimming in the shirt that
I used, like meaning the shirt that I used to
wear is way too big for me. No, Ben, what
you say is accurate. I rarely, if ever wear a
shirt now I am. I am very shirtless and I
don't care now. I also went very shirtless when I

(02:06:39):
was much more weighty. JMV. I just looked at that
picture with you in the late Ryan Sandberg. Holy cray, Yeah,
holy crap. Indeed, big big dude. And what's funny you
never know once you get on that in body and

(02:07:00):
what that does at premier weight loss is it does
everything from your weight to your body fat percentage to
something called visceral fat, of which I didn't even know
what the hell that was. That's bad too, that's fat
between your organs. That's heavy duty. And really what got

(02:07:22):
me into it was the fact my blood pressure was absurd.
I used to joke about it, and as sure as
hell wasn't funny. So no Premier weight loss. Matt Thomas
and everybody up there, the professionals have done a great
job with me, and more to go to try to maintain.

(02:07:46):
But feeling good as I ever have pictures ridiculous with me.

Speaker 4 (02:07:51):
And Ryan Sandberg.

Speaker 3 (02:07:54):
JMV any memories of Ryan Sandberg as a player. Certainly
I remember this I was. This was Game one of
the NLCS in nineteen eighty four. I think Rick Sutcliffe
hit a home run for the Cup. No, was it
eighty four eighty nine? No, eighty four, I had to
be eighty four. I was in high school. I think

(02:08:16):
I was a freshman. Yeah, I have to be eighty four,
eighty five, I was a freshman. I stayed home to
watch it. I believe Rick Sutcliffe hit a Game one
home run. Now you know, ultimately they lost to the Padres.
But I am not a Cubs fan, but I did
like that Cub's team. They had so many of the

(02:08:38):
old school like all of that team. I think I
had on those old school urs. Remember the RC Cola
Cans that had baseball players on the back in the
late seventies, Gary Matthews, Ron Say, but that was that
was a fun team to watch. Samberg was a part
of it, Bull Durham, Jody Davis. You know they traded

(02:09:04):
Joe Carter and Mel Hall for Rick Sutcliffe Man. He
was a big deal, the big Riot hander, Bob Dernier.
That was a fun team in nineteen eighty four. But
Samberg was just an absolute joy to watch. He was
in every single facet, including just human being. When we

(02:09:30):
met him years ago. Bill's at two three, nine, ten
seventy right now, Hello, Bill? How are you? Jamvan doing great?

Speaker 12 (02:09:36):
Hey?

Speaker 14 (02:09:37):
One thing I really believe has to happen in training
camp is the development of Riley Leonard, the third string quarterback,
to the draft pickout of Notre Dame's rookie. I think
the Colts are gonna need three quarterbacks do yeah this year?

Speaker 3 (02:09:51):
I think that would be an absolute disaster if that's necessary.

Speaker 14 (02:09:55):
Well, Andrey, I mean, you know, it wouldn't it wouldn't hurt.
And he's a he's a winner, and I look forward
to seeing them develop developing him. But I want to
say one thing about Vincent. Back in nineteen thirteen, there
was a guy that was born down there by the
name of Bernard L. Haff and he went on from
from that to have the longest running national television show

(02:10:17):
in television history. Skelton, Red Skelton, Yes, you got to
take board in nineteen seven.

Speaker 3 (02:10:23):
Hey man, you can't get me on the Vincent Slash
Knox County Trivia. I got you. I thought, I thought
you may get me something like George Rogers Clark or something.
But you want easy on me.

Speaker 14 (02:10:33):
Oh well, Red Skelton was was just so great and
uh lived up here in Indianapolis. As a matter of fact,
He's just kicking around Indianapolis the same time that John
Dillinger was roaming the streets.

Speaker 3 (02:10:46):
We did a couple of shows. We did a couple
of shows from managers that that Dellinger and Capone. I
think both frequented a couple of different times in the day.
From what I've been told.

Speaker 10 (02:10:58):
Yeah, yeah, and I bet you did.

Speaker 4 (02:11:00):
Indeed happened. But the.

Speaker 14 (02:11:03):
Congratulations on your run for for having remote broadcasts and
everything that might you might you might want to call
the historical Society.

Speaker 3 (02:11:14):
No, Well, it's funny because back in the day with
Mark you remember those shows with Mark Patrick, Mark wellly
didn't dig it. He liked going to Chalky's, but back
then you could you could smoke. And Chalky's in Castleton,
where they had all the pool tables, was like the
first place that you couldn't smoke or they didn't allow smoking,
and he was cool with that. But the other places

(02:11:35):
he was not a drinker, and uh, he certainly didn't
like to smoke, so he didn't really dig going out
