Query & Company Interviews & Clips

Pacers’ Thomas Bryant, Season High 22-point Starter, Joins Query & Company 

(00:00-23:28) – Greg Rakestraw opens the show by pointing out Jake is at the rookie celebration before calling this the “receding hairline” version of the show with Caleb filling in for Eddie. He previews the guests lined up for the show before a discussion on Indianapolis being ranked as the third best sports business city. He talks about how Indy has become the epicenter of sports in a lot of ways. How should Pacers fans feel after watching the Spurs and Thunder play last night? How do they stack up the teams in the western conference?

(23:29-40:32) – Greg touches on an ad he heard while doing qualifying this weekend and how it relates to JMV’s show and how young the San Antonio Spurs starting lineup is. Then, he gets into the Colts schedule to release video and commends the Colts for poking fun at themselves.  

(40:32-47:13) – Greg touches on the actual Colts schedule and why we should be more worried about what’s in their locker room rather than what’s in the other team’s locker room.  

(47:13-1:15:15) – ESPN’s Stephen Holder joins and Greg hits him with a sarcastic breaking news alert about a start time for a Colts preseason game changing. Stephen then talks about how the Colts prefer a late-bye week and how teams are going to have to make that decision in the future. Plus, what is the safety position looking like and what do the Colts still need to add? 

(1:15:15-1:27:51) – Two-time Indy 500 champion Al Unser Jr. Joins to reflect on his win in ‘92. He talks about not having an Andretti, Foyt or Unser racing in the 500 this year, his mentors growing up, what his week looks like before race week and who he feels like has a real chance to win the Indy 500. What comes to mind when he thinks about Alex Palou? 

(1:27:51-1:34:23) –  Clustertruck is here with their delivery, we take a caller who has a question on high school NIL and Greg opines on where things go from here.  

(1:34:23-1:57:47) – Scott Agness from Fieldhouse Files was in the pits during Indy 500 practice and he talks about what it was like to have qualifying crammed into one day. Then, he was at Indiana Fever practice this morning and reports on Aliyah Boston, who is trying to return from an ankle injury she sustained in the Unrivaled league this winter. How is Caitlin Clark playing, his thoughts on game 1 of the Western Conference Finals last night and how the Pacers could matchup with each of them. Who could be targeted in the offseason for the Pacers or will they stand pat? Greg runs through the responsibilities of everyone in the 500. 

(1:57:47-2:08:27) – Greg talks about some sports controversies in hockey and in English soccer before JMV joins a segment early for the crossover! 

(2:08:27-2:21:50) – Today’s show ends with a replay of our conversation with Al Unser Jr.!

(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.
