Speaker 1 (00:14):
Election Day yesterday, and oh, if you were on the
political right and hoping for good things, you did not
get them. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Good
to be with you. Although it's all a question of
whether or not you're thinking glasses half full.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Do the Colts think their glass now overfloweth.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Well, usually it's a cup, but I just figured I
was going with the glass thing. Picking up Sauce Gardner
from the New York Jets for two first round draft
picks and eighty Mitchell JMV joins us right now. He's
the voice of sports in Indiana ninety three five one
oh seveny five of the fan.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
This is a cornerback. It's a very good cornerback.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
This is a two first round draft picks and a
wide receiver, good cornerback.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
What's the take here, JAMV.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I love the fact that did that too. I think
we were both Tony, you and I were talking about
this earlier this week about how we expected them to
do something at the trade deadline, and we know, looking
at that defense, he needs something in the back end,
or he needs something as an edge rushing capacity, which
are shortcomings of this defense. And they went out and
they pushed everything in the center right here, giving up
(01:26):
two first rounders and ad Mitchell. That is a heavy
price tag, but the belief in that building is in
that team this season, living in the now, and this
is something we haven't been through with this group. Now.
Granted they haven't won to this level. They haven't been
seven and two, they haven't been the top of the AFC.
But I love the fact that not only did they
(01:47):
go out of the address and need, but they went
out and addressed a need big time. Now, we'll tell
you this. Sauce Gardner started out well in his career,
has faded a bit, but you could also describe maybe
his fade as as a team oriented cultural thing, much
like Daniel Jones in this first six years was not
good with the Giants, and now you see him good
here Sauce Gardner and the Jets. You know about that operation,
(02:10):
so I look for him to be even better and
add to that secondary which is going to be loaded.
What everybody's healthy. Now moving forward for.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
The Colts, talking about pushing everything to the center, that's
JAMV going full poker and we went all in. Yeah, yeah,
the Colts went all in on one guy. But the
question remains, is this the one guy to go all
in with with two first rounders?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Well, if you're going to, why not this guy? And
this has been a target Tony for at least four
weeks from what people say. So it wasn't just hey,
look this guy's now available, let's give two her first
round picks and ad Mitchell and go. This has been
their target for a while, you know, whether it's Chris
Ballad and company, lou An Arumo, this is a guy
that they had coveted, and they worked this process until
(03:00):
he ended up here. Listen, here's the thing. I don't
know how this is gonna work out or how this
is gonna look three and four years down the road,
But to me, I know how it looks right now.
I know what I've wanted going into this trade deadline,
and they satisfied that and then some and picking up
a piece that was necessary for this defense. And hopefully
(03:21):
it works out. We'll see how the price cat looks
further down the road.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Talking to JMV the Voice of Sports in Indiana, the
addition in this trade of Ady Mitchell. Of course, he
fumbled the ball before the goal line and got sat
down because of it now traded. I thought that in
the case of him, the punishment was excessive. Jonathan Taylor
did the same thing last year. You didn't see this punishment.
(03:46):
Now you have more wide receivers and you have running backs,
you could maybe afford to do it. But there had
been something else going on behind the scenes, true or false.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I'm sure that they were probably at a breaking point
when this happening against the Rams, and you've seen ad
Mitchell here or there. But you know, when you have
the potential of making a deal like this to make
your team better, you're not gonna let ad Mitchell and
whether or not he's going to be good further down
the road. State of the array of that, now, what
this does, Tony is going to prioritize. I think you
(04:16):
and I are both on the same page with making
sure you pay Alec Pearce to come back, because he's
evolved into more of a total wide receiver than I
think anybody thought, so certainly that is going to be
now more of the focus.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
But yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Think all in all, if you're going to give up
an active player on your roster like they did, ad
Mitchell's just fine to move along and see if he
can restart his career in a different environment.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
This entire trade.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
You know, am I giving kudos to Chris Ballard, who
I am not a fan of at all? Or am
I recognizing that life after Jim Ersay is different, wide
open and more free.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
What am I looking at here?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I think you see a combination here, Tony. You see
a combination of Chris Ballard being different. In this case,
he was in free agency. This is something you and
I have discussed here in this slot a number of times.
You know what he did with Mooney Ward and cam
bind him in free agency, paying high dollar. That's something
he hadn't done in the past. And then I think
(05:28):
it's different because the team entering the trade deadline week,
you're seven and two. Disappointing at Pittsburgh certainly, but you're
still seven and two. This is a season in which
you position yourself to take advantage, and you needed a
defensive player in either a cornerback or an edge rusher,
and this is the direction you've chosen. I think it's
that as well. So you haven't been there before, and
(05:50):
you have Chris Ballard that's not acting in desperation either.
A lot of national people suggest Tony. This was a
desperate move for a guy who's afraid he's going to
lose his gig unless everything falls through the bottom falls out.
He's not losing his gig. He's going to maintain. Steik's
going to maintain, and Rumo is going to maintain. This
was simply a deal they targeted to make this team
(06:11):
better right here and right now for the remainder of season.
And that's that.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
The step one is making the playoffs, which looks good
but is not promised Atlanta this Sunday in Berlin. This
is a team that the Colts should be able to
have serious effect on. They don't seem to have the
pass rush that the Steelers have.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Now they don't. What they do have is a running game.
And here's the thing that stood out to me against
the Colts. I've always felt that there have been teams
they have played and they have beaten so far in
this season that if they had the ability to sustain
a running attack and didn't have to strut throwing it
around because they got so far behind, that they could
have found some tread, found some traction with that. And
(06:58):
Atlanta can do it, and you saw it last week.
They lost in New England, but they hung in or
it was a game they probably should have won. Now,
two weeks ago they had Kirk Cousins. They're an absolute
disaster at home and a loss, so you don't really
know what you're going to get. But it is a team.
As you mentioned, Tony, that the Colts should have the
ability to handle.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
On the road in Berlin.
Speaker 3 (07:18):

Speaker 2 (09:36):
More huge sweep for the Democrats Communists.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Last night, Abigail Spamberger wins the Virginia governor's race. Man
a lot coming out about lieutenant governor wins. Some seers
people unhappy with how that race was run. We discussed
it last night on the live stream. You have Mickey
Cheryl winning the governor's race in New Jersey. Jack Chiarelli's
political career is over.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
It's just done. I think that's twice. Twice is enough.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And then of course Proposition fifty passes in California. Reminding
Indiana Republicans that redistricting is happening, whether you like it
or not, whether you think you're above it all or not.
We need grown ups in the room, and now's the time,
and then New York elects. The communists are on mom Donnie.
(10:30):
Senator Jim Banks went on with Will Cain there on
Fox News to say, hey, this means business comes Indiana.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Fantastic.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Okay, what are you here to be a Democrat? As well?
There are rumblings that in Washington, DC, and I don't
know what your relationships are like across the isle. I
don't know if you're in the cloak room having a
martini with Chuck Schumer, what your relationships are across the aisle.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
But the reports are I.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Would pay cash money to see Jim Banks sipping of martini.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Just for the record, the rumors are, at least, if
not reports, they're actually not that happy about the rise
of Zoramumdani.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I think that's right.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
I mean I haven't talked to Democrats specifically about it,
but this is this is bad for their party. It's
good for Republicans. I mean, it's good for Indiana. If
you don't want to live in a liberal socialist hellhole
like New York City, it's going to get even worse.
I Amdanni's on his watch after he wins tonight moved
to Indiana. Bring bring your jobs to Indiana. We have
(11:33):
low cost of living. We've consistently rank as one of
the best states to do business and to raise a family.
And New York keeps getting you. If you didn't think
New York could get dirtier or worse or more unsafe
than what it already is, elect this guy who's anti
police and totally embraces a socialist ideology to be the
mayor of New York City. And that's going to be
(11:55):
That's going to be good for the heartland. It's going
to be good for places like Texas and Indiana with people.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Now, you're more than welcome in Indiana. And I think
we should be aggressive about these things. I would lead
the charge on this Governor Brown, but we got Scott
to tell people not to bring their politics with them.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
This is what they voted for.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
In New York. This is Zarn Mamdani in his victory speech.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Together, we will usher in a generation of change. And
if we embrace this brave new course rather than fleeing
from it, we can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with
the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all,
(12:49):
if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump
how to defeat him, it is the city that gave
rise to him. And if there is any way to
terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions
that allowed him to accumulate power. This is not only
(13:14):
how we stopped Trump, it's how we stop the next one.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Now I ask, is he talking about New Yorkers there?
Does he even care? And he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
The whole speech was this attack on Trump nonsense. I
don't think everybody is on the same understanding of how
Trump hate.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Works.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
It works, the Trump hate works does. Can't deny it.
But that's screaming. I mean he started off his speech
with quoting Eugene Debs in Indiana's favorite socialist, Best of luck,
(14:09):
New York. I have more thoughts. They're coming very soon
today on the marketplace. I'm missing something. This doesn't make
any sense, and I need you, the Scooby Gang, to
help me figure it out. Old man Willard might have
(14:33):
gotten away with it if it wasn't for you.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Meddling kids.

Speaker 8 (15:24):
Now I'm shopping there every day. Tony Well, Tiffany and
co Action. Oh, I love it so much.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Full disclosure.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You know, I get my jewelry from PA Jewelers in
Brownsburg because they're sponsors and they're awesome and the deals
are incredible, and they've got the von Reest watches that
I represent and you can get them exclusively at PA Jewelers.
And we have some very cool gift baskets that are
going to be coming, some great stuff to get to.
(15:51):
That's not the story. I am a fan of Tiffany
jewelry and I have purchased some for my wife in
the past.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I'm a I'm good man, Matt Bear.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
No, it's very she's blessed.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Blessed, yes, a few ways.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
If you do me a favor and caller and let
her know that absolutely, Hey, darling, I just want you
to know that you could have had it much worse.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
That's the quarterstone of any marriage style.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
But I do I dig the Tiffany style. I like
the solver, I like the simple, I like some of
the squared edges.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I really do like it. She likes it. I'm thrilled
about that.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
This map Bear is a seventy five dollars Tiffany and
Company gift card.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
Oh wow, somebody's given away a Tiffany and Company gift card.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
That's just it. They're selling it for forty dollars.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Okay, where are they selling it from.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
They're in Whiteland. Wait would it have mattered?
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (16:50):
I mean it's a Tiffany in company gift card. How
many Tiffany and companies are in Whiteland.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Well, they could have gotten it as a gift. I'm
just saying, Oh, I wouldn't trust Whitelands. But no, absolutely,
no problem.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Let's go round the horn and see what city's Matt
behar thinks or trustworthy.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
They have shifty eyes and Whiteland oh wow, wow, don't
look him in the eye, you'll turn the stone.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Good lord. I ain't bringing up Avon for nothing. By
the way, they voted for the referendum in Avon. They're like, sure,
we'll spend more, that's fine by us. And they're gonna
need the discount on this gift card.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
We're gonna build one there.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
If the gift cards seventy five dollars, why are you
selling it for forty?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Do go what?
Speaker 8 (17:38):
I would just keep the gift card and get somebody
something from Tiffany's over the holidays.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
You know, that's just me. I mean, I know that's silly,
silly thinking.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
But maybe the fundamental problem is there is nothing you
can get at Tiffany's for seventy five, right. That's like
if somebody got you a fifty dollars gift card to
rus Chris and you're like huh, well.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
This might afford that half an appetizer, half an hour.
You get one shrimp?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Right, just one? Is it? Well? Split it?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
You' good enough like it?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Maybe that's it?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
But I am very very confused by this, by this offer.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Could you give this, like, say, the card itself?
Speaker 8 (18:20):
Could you buy the card and then wrap it up
with whatever you wrap it in it and then regift
it to like woman you love?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Would that be appropriate?
Speaker 8 (18:28):
And to be like, here, go get your own Tiffany's
for seventy five dollars, would she just be in heaven
or that?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Would she be like? Why do you even bother? You
should have gotten to yourself?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
So could you regift the answers? Of course? Oh, of
course if you.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Were able to give the woman you love a gift
card to Tiffany's for seventy five dollars that you got
for only forty dollars, she should be very impressed with you.
Speaker 8 (18:49):
Well yeah, but what are the chances that that gift
card is blank?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Oh? What are the chances that the gift card is
somehow not work?
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Good, one forty billions you won And I'm not saying
what the person who listened it is some kind of fraudster.
They don't know, but I think that's another part of this.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
The whole thing is just I want to know who
buys this and then I want to know how it went.
Speaker 8 (19:22):
I mean, it's just shop local, That's that's what I'm doing.
I mean, there's there are places in White Linen you
can get all your holiday gifts. And I'm not trying
to degree the awesome gift here that you can get
from Tiffany and Company.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
I'm just saying, you know, shop local this holidays. He
isn't p Jewelers and Raspberry Jewelers in Brownsburg. They're awesome, right.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Are you willing to offer up a gift card right
now from your own stash of many gift cards?
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Soh me, Yeah, I've got a bunch of them. I
can know, you know, you know, just shot Matt Bear.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Soliday from Mattbear dot com, Matt Bear Dyck and buy
all the child's small T shirts you have. I've got
a closet full of Yeah, yes you do, Yes, I do,
you really do.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Woo. We're not impressed. It's kind sad.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I know. The full listing is there at WIBC dot com.
That's where we've got everything for the marketplace. Democrats won
last night New Jersey, Virginia, New York, California, Pennsylvania. They
won in certain races in Georgia. Democrat winning a statewide
(20:28):
race in Georgia for the first time, I think in
twenty years. And the end result is kind of what
one would expect, even if one doesn't like it, even
if one held out hope that it wouldn't be this way.
(20:49):
But there's a lesson in everything. Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC,
Good morning. First things first, sometimes you don't win, handle yourself.
Don't run to social media and put out some tweet.
Don't think that trolling me is going to get you anywhere. Kids,
I signed my contract. I'm here two more years. All
(21:14):
the trolling didn't mean anything. Oh I could still totally
get fired tomorrow. I can still totally get fired tomorrow.
But we signed and my next event is scheduled for
January twenty fourth, twenty twenty six. You are not going
to believe it. It's going to be incredible. And yes,
(21:37):
some people in the chat from Minneapolis is undecided they'll
have a runoff. It seems that the Somali can todate
didn't do as well as the incuvernment Mayor Jacob Fray,
but leave that to the side. Sometimes you lose, you
ask yourself why you commit to doing better. You refocus,
you have a beverage, and you get to work.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
That's all. There is no anger, no time for it.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
If I thought there was a time for it, my
level of disgust with New Yorkers would be beyond an
all time high. It would be out of control. But
this is you know. I've often said that, you know,
(22:27):
I left California and I do not know why people stay.
And some people really want to stay for the fight.
I can't stop them. I wish them well. There's a
bit of a romance in that. But there are times
where I want people to feel the pain of what
it is they've done.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And this is the moment. I grew up in New
York shadow.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I was born in Brooklyn and certainly have spent enough
time there, more than some, not as much as others.
I was serious when I said my wife and I
are going to take the trip. I don't know if
I'm gonna even have time to do it before the inauguration.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
To say goodbye to the city.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I don't want them to have to suffer through the
madness of these communist programs.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
But they did this.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
What else am I supposed to do except grab a
drink and watch Give me a comfy chair and a
large screen TV and let's watch it happen.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I want to be able to show my kids. Do
you see how this doesn't work? Now?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
This has never worked, But somehow progressives convinced themselves that
somehow a new generation could do it better.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
And they'll make the argument.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
The real communism has never been tried, and then you'll
see the pushback where they say.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
He's not a communist. You don't know what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Sure, let New York suffer the way they're going to suffer.
As for the businesses in New York, I don't know
why you're saying. I said this yesterday Antoni Katch today
about News Max and Fox News.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What are you staying in New York for? What are
you proving? What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I do agree with Senator Jim Banks, we should be
inviting businesses to come here. You just can't bring your
politics with you because not everybody is an utter.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
They're not.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
But when you lose, you figure out why you dust
yourself off. You have yourself a beverage. You go back
to the fight. Drink up kids. The fight's still on.
