Ray Steele And The News

There will be no more Syrian refugees coming to Indiana for now.

The great Colin Mochrie is coming to Indy along with Brad Sherwood with their two-man improv show that's coming to the Murat at Old National Centre December 5. Also, Colin answers the question on why BBC presenters say "good night" twice when they say it, and we talk about my favorite Whose Line Is It Anyway moment, the time the production crew tried to censor Drew Carey and the troupe.

Winston Groom continues his marvelous string of history books with The Generals. It intertwines the lives of three of the country's greatest military leaders and how it led to our World War II victory.

Sharp dressed man was here! Barry Melrose is one of the best sports analysts, period. In any sport. He will be at the Indy Fuel's game tonight (Friday), as will the Stanley Cup!

The widow of the man who brought the Colts to Indianapolis has died.

Who knew that someone tried to buy Angie's List? As we discussed on The 10 At 10, we would not have known had Angie's List not declined the offer. That doesn't mean the offer has gone away.

Mike Bucci is primarily in banking nowadays, but in the middle of our chat, former WWE superstar Simon Dean emerged to talk about his plans for his opponent, Khris Kaliber, at Emerge Wrestling's "Emerge 10: Conquest", Saturday night in Columbus, Indiana. (note: this is airing Saturday morning, hence the 'tonight' references)

Marching bands start taking over downtown Indianapolis today, as one of the biggest band competitions in America is almost here.

Jeb Bush could - no should - have kicked the reporter out. But instead, Bush answered what is likely the worst question asked of any candidate during the campaign so far. The absolute worst. And Mr. Bush's answer may have hastened the demise of his campaign.

I cannot believe that Mike is not excited about IKEA coming to Fishers. Because EVERYONE is excited, right?

I can't tell - it sounded as if Mr. Subliminal invaded our 10 At 10 feature on the Pacers's new $50 million practice facility being approved by the CIB. Can you hear it? Let me know if you can.

Sure, you could wait until the new IKEA in Fishers, Indiana is open to enjoy your Swedish meatballs at its restaurant. But thanks to this reporter, you don't have to.

Some of us can't say diddly about new Steem caffeinated peanut butter, given the amount of Jolt Cola we consumer in college and how much coffee we have consumed over the years. But Senator Chuck Schumer is among those saying plenty about Steeme and the need for federal regulation.

Wow. This is almost too silly to do on the news. Except some people apparently think Starbucks is seriously at war with Christmas. Even though they aren't.

It sounds as if everyone is doing a 180 on the need for tougher new high school diploma standards in Indiana. The latest being Governor Pence.

We were interrupted in the midst of The 10 At 10 today with an "Sneak Attack" update from Eric Miller at Advance America.

It's race morning - well, as this airs it will be! Can't wait to run my first Monumental Marathon.

The governor's approval rating is just 47-percent according to a new poll. Andy Downs from IPFW says there is still plenty of time before next year's election for Pence to improve the number.

Ben Carson says he still believes something he said in a 1998 speech that appeared on YouTube - that the pyramids in Egypt were built by Joseph to store grain, as the Bible says, and that archaeologists don't know what they are talking about.

Well, at least the Bernie head isn't on the front. Of the undies.
