Indycast is presented by Uprox's Indy Mix tape.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Indycast.

On the show, we talk about the biggest indie news of the week.

We review albums, and we hash out trends.

In this episode, we hand out our first

round of 2023 Indie Casties. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host.

He is furious that the Indiana Pacer stole his game ball. Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you?

You caught me kind of flat-footed with this one because I really wanted to find an indie rock equivalent to what this just absolutely hilarious form of beef is.

I love how not just college football, but the NBA is starting to get kind of WWE with it. Like, there's so many

nondescript NBA franchises, like the Hornets or whatever, that are thinking about, like,

how they can do, like, what they can do to, like, fuck up somebody's game like this.

Well, okay, so we're going to do a quick sports cast here at the top. Because I have to talk, we're recording this on Thursday morning like we normally do.

And the night before, last night, Wednesday night, the Milwaukee Bucks, the team of my youth,

they're playing the Indiana Pacers.

Janice Ante Coupo has an incredible game.

He scored 64 points, franchise record.

And at the end of the game, there's like this weird incident going on, like, where Yannis, he expected to get the game ball, because this is like the greatest game of his life.

And the Pacers took the ball and they gave it to like some rookie who scored his first

point ever in an NBA game.

A rookie from Kentucky.

Shout out to Oscar.

And Janus, mild-mannered Janus Ante Coupo goes apesh.
