(00:00-27:31) – Jake opens Monday's show by reflecting on Indy 500 qualifying and how good it was to see so many people at the track in a jam-packed Sunday of qualifying. He explains the post-race dequalifications of Caio Collett and Jack Harvey and why it's a safety percaution that was inadvertently violated. Then, Jake explains what the prizes will be for this year's numbers game. 

(27:31-39:47) Jake teased why we should appreciate what we are seeing from Alex Palou before the last segment ended. He explains why his skillset is something to marvel at and where it started for him as he started racing in Japan years ago. 

(39:48-48:17) – Jake kicks off the numbers game by giving 6 callers a chance to take numbers off the board! 

(48:17-1:11:53) – Mike Chappell form CBS4/FOX59 has his microphone muted to start his segment. Once he umutes himself, he tries to understand why Anthony Richardson is still here and what purpose he serves if he's not competing for the second-string quarterback position. Jake tells some stories about when he went to clean out his crashed car. Lastly, Jake explains his comments on The Fan Morning Show this morning and why the Pacers were not going to give up any of their core. 

(1:11:54-1:23:39) - Jake starts the segment with breaking news from the speedway as a huge crash at practice at the Indianapolis motor speedway and processes live what it means for the drivers involved and the race. He quickly talks about the NBA playoffs before going back into the crash that took place at IMS. 

(1:23:39-1:33:39) – Jake gives another update on the crash before callers line up for the numbers game.

(1:33:40-2:04:59) – 2006 Indy 500 Champion Sam Hornish Jr. joins the program to reflect on his pass on the final stretch of the race. He answers the question of if he talks to Marco Andretti ever since the pass. Jake asks him whether he cussed Roger Penske out during the final lap. Jake also asks him why he feels so relaxed years after being done with racing. Plus, what is it like to watch his son race, the transition from IndyCar to stockcar, his reaction to the crash at Indy 500 practice today and how it changes the race. Lastly, he talks about giving back to his hometown hospital, opening up a heart center there after his dad passed away of a heart attack. 

(2:04:59-2:07:27) – Jake and Caleb reflect on the conversation with Sam Hornish Jr. and how delightful he was. Plus, Jake took a new sounder that can help him feel better about his jokes. 

(2:07:28-2:20:13) – Today’s show ends with Jake running through the post-race inspection news from yesterday before JMV joins for the crossover in studio.
