Ray Steele And The News

What a nice birthday gift; a "customized" song courtesy of co-host Mike Wilson.

Even though scores will be late due to some re-scoring by CTB, state officials don't sound optimistic that they would be able to get the company to pay back some of the money from its contract, since that contract is up. CTB also essentially blames the state for at least part of their grading problems.

On Ray's birthday no less, a card shows up in the mail, unsigned, to correct something that Ray said about Rosie The Riveter on The 10 At 10 a while back. By the way, the postcard was simply a cut out piece of a cracker box. Which is outstanding, and it's outstanding that the Postal Service saw fit to deliver it. Thanks!

We found out today that the former head of the Jared Foundation could plead guilty to child porn charges as early as today. His case may have been what helped lead investigators to Jared Fogle, who recently announced intentions to plead guilty to his own child porn and solicitation charges.

Who won the 10 At 10 HORSE challenge? C'mon, do we even have to ask?

Another underground problem downtown, but it wasn't IPL this time. Citizens Energy had a water main leak that caused steam to pour out of manholes Sunday morning and afternoon.

Wes Craven changed how horror movies are made, and he also (surprise) gave Bruce Willis his first starring role in a non-horror film. Wes Craven died at the age of 76 yesterday after a short fight with brain cancer.

We try to figure out, at least within the allotted short time period we have, why Scott Walker would think it's a good idea to propose building a wall on the Canadian border as part of an immigration plan.

We take time out to honor the late Butler mascot and good dawg Blue, who died two years ago today. Butler U. is honoring America's Dog this week to observe the anniversary. As much as we love Tripp, we miss the old boy.

I had the privilege of doing this for 3 seasons. I wish I could do it in person once more before Gnate's forced retirement due to the impending relocation of the Sand Gnats. To the best mascot............ in the world.

The second man on the moon hopes that the new Buzz Aldrin Space Institute at Florida Tech will help advance his plan to colonize Mars in 25 years. Aldrin has long advocated sending people to Mars, including in a 2013 book "Mission To Mars." I spoke to Aldrin about his plan and his book in this interview, recorded June 10, 2013.

Some Republicans are not happy with the "conventional wisdom" that Democrat Joe Hogsett is the front runner in the Indy Mayor's race. We looked at the evidence on The 10 At 10, and featured part of the conversation between Marion Co. GOP chairman Kyle Walker and our Mike Corbin.

We just wanted to not only say "manspreading" on the radio, we wanted to hear someone with a proper English accent say it. That's why we did this story - with Simon Owen of Fox News Radio.

We got the awful news yesterday afternoon that Darryl Dawkins, a big part of our NBA childhood, died of a heart attack. He was only 58, and man did he live those 58 years and then some. A sweetheart of a guy, and it's hard to believe he is gone.

Got a huge, huge outpouring of support from Decatur Central band fans and members on our Facebook page, so they get the honors this week. Nominate your band at Facebook.com/WIBC10At10!

Okay, try explain Miss Cleo and other TV psychics to the generation that didn't grow up with 1-900 phone numbers. Go ahead...I will wait. Tough, ain't it. We tried explaining her to young eye candy producer Colin W. after this segment on the lawsuit filed against General Mills. I don't think he understands.

It looks as if our wild black bear, the first one in Indiana since the 1870's, has gone back to Michigan. As Mike & Ray discussed on The 10 At 10, what a missed opportunity for a tourism promotion!

Indiana's ban on selfies of your election ballot has been challenged in federal court.

This began as a segment on how Cubs fans apparently pee in public more than anyone else in Chicago. It became the greatest apartment story ever told from one Mike Wilson.

Yes, Jorge Ramos of Univision was a little over the top, as was Trump. But if Trump had actually answered the question, which he didn't, we wouldn't be talking about it. And he called Megyn Kelly a bimbo, so apparently Trump is at war with Fox News, too. All because (in Ray's opinion) Trump doesn't like tough questions.
