  Speaker 1: Well, let's get down to brass tacks right off the bat. Congratulations,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: we finally know what hoosier means, hoosier means champion Indiana Hoosiers.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I made it to halftime last night. I don't know
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: about you. I just I couldn't stay up any later
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: than that. Made it to halftime. It was It was
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: pretty evident to me that Miami just did not bring
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: their zest last night. They something they were getting shut down.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: The Indiana defense was so strong that Miami just did
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: not have that that typical Miami thing going on. And
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: although it was a tight game, in the end, Indiana
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: National champions and well deserved as far as I'm concerned.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I know it's a soft spot, a sore spot, it's
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: something we don't necessarily want to remember. But they handled
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the Ohio State University Buckeyes well, and they handled everybody well.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And the fact of the matter is, if you are
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a Scarlet and Gray true believer, a Buckeye fan, we
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: can't win them all. We'd like to, We would love
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to be undefeated all the time in football and in life,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: but that's not the way the cookie crumbles. As they say,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: some's gotta win some's gotta lose in the buck Eye fans.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: We got the Blues Indiana Hoosiers National champions on to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: next season. We got in the news, I've got a
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: story here. I don't know. I'm a little baffled, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm a little foggy just because I've been doing
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: such crazy hours this week. Oh speaking of which, let
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: me tell you, wait minute, I got a call. Okay, now,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: driving in at that insane hour this morning you cover
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: from Mike and Columbus Morning News on six to ten WUTV,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and not a lot of traffic at that time of day,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of course, So I'm driving in. I got this car
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: in front of me. It's one lane in each directions.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: We're coming in. They're going They're going like third in
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a forty five, So that's annoying. Then we get up
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to an intersection where I'm going to turn right and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: come over to the radio station, and we get up
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and they they start inching over. And it took them
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not joking. It took them literally one hundred feet
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of travels to get from one lane into the next.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: They just kind of straddled the lane and kind of
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and maybe a little in sorder. They were thinking about
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: getting into the right and so they get into the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: right lane. Okay, great, so we're both going right. Here
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: we go right. There are two options. The right lane
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: gets on the freeway. The left lane continues on down
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the Fisher Road to the radio station. They get in
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the left lane, So I'm getting in the right lane.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go around them because I can't handle
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: all this slow. Just as we get to the freeway
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: entrance ramp, they come over into the right lane in
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: front of me. And once they've completed, once they've completed
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the lane change, they turned on their turn signal. Oh
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: my good, you told I was. I need an interstate
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: system and in a road system that are just mine
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: where nobody else, nobody else is allowed to travel. Because
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: even when there are only two cars on the road,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I find something to be upset about when I'm driving
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: in and I'm not a road ranger. I'm not a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: crazy person that hangs out the window and blows my
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: horn and throws things at your car and all that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I don't do that. I just get frustrated.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going to operate a motor vehicle,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: dog gunnet. You should be bright enough to operate a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: motor vehicle. And I don't know how whoever this person was,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they might conduct themselves in actual
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: traffic when there are other cars around them, when things
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: are moving quickly and people are trying to get places.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: This was just them and just me, and they still
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: couldn't manage to drive like they had any sense. And frankly,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: this here's the hard hand of the law. This is
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the kind of stuff. Quite frankly, I wish police would
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: write more tickets for I just we know, and I'm
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: not pointing my finger at any particular group of people.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that there are those who can and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: those who cannot. We know that there are a lot
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: of can knots out there now, and when you're driving
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: thirty and a forty five, you are impeding the full
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of traffic. We need to start writing those tickets. People
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that are are changing lanes without signaling, we need to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: start writing those tickets. Let's just, you know, get everybody
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: in uniform up in uniform mindset when it comes to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: how they conduct themselves on the roads. Because I know
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it's not a speeding ticket. I don't even know what
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Zach wouldn't know. He wouldn't pay a ticket if he
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: got one. I don't know how much the ticket is
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: if you are moving too slow, but I know that
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: there is such a thing. I know that when I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: was taking drivers at many many men years ago, wasn't
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: really drivers that we just had to feed the horses
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: after No, I'm just joking. We got pulled over my
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: driver's ed car. We got pulled over on West broad Street.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I was going to West High School, of course, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: h and we got pulled over on because the kid
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: who was driving at that time, I think it might
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: have been Neil, but I'm not sure he was. He
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: got pulled over from going too slow on West broad Street. Now,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the speed limit through there is thirty five, so he
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: must have been going really slow. And they didn't give
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: him a ticket or anything, but they pulled him over
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and just told him. You know, impeding the flow of
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: traffic is an offense. You've got to keep up with traffic,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and a lot of times I think it's a proactive defense.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: If I'm on the freeway and if it's the speed
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: limit sixty five and I'm going seventy eight, But people
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: are passing me. Honestly, that's a proactive defense. I would
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I would go to traffic court. Was I speeding technically, yes,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I was. However, if I were to be going any slower,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I would be causing a backup on the freeway system.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: So I stayed with the flow of traffic by going
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: over the posted speed limit. The options here are that
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you can give me a ticket for speeding, or you
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: can just pull out the cameras, because you know we
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: got them everywhere. Pull out the cameras and give everybody
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: who was on the road that day a ticket for speeding.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: But if you pull me out of the crowd when
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: other cars are passing me, as you're pulling me over,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: other cars are passing me, then I must not have
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: been going that fast. The speed limit is uh, it's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: something you feel after you've been driving for a while.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And most of the time I'm not looking at the speedometer.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I know the feel of the road, I know what
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the you know, the traffic around me is doing, and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: so I go with the flow of traffic. I don't
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: necessarily look down and go, oh, I'm going I'm going
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: thirty five point three miles. No, I not like that,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and you can't be like that because there are other
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: drivers on the road. And again, here's the problem. When
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the roads are full of people who are going seventy
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: in a sixty five and you come up on one
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of these cannots who's going forty on the freeway who
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be on the freeway in the first dog one place, well,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: then here's your problem. This is an issue, this has
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to be dealt with. And I say the police should
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: start writing those tickets. And I know I'm probably the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: only person goofy enough to say the police should be
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: writing more tickets. It's just me a couple of things.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about the tickets getting written out. There are
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: traffics on the way here in this a moment. But
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: we've got a story about a kid that was shot
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: two forty am. Two forty am. I'm fourteen years old, shot,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: not killed, and obviously I've got some questions.
