The Ride with JMV

Mainly sports, mixed in with pop culture. As likely to remember the participants from the 1987 Final Four and the top 10 songs on the charts that same week in 1987. No one is more connected when it comes to the Indianapolis Colts. And no one is in love more with Southern Indiana as JMV.

00:00 – 29:50 – John has never been more excited for an Indiana Pacers season opener than he is for tonight. We play some Benedict Mathurin sound on his feelings playing Tyrese Haliburton in his return. They take a look back at last night’s opening season games, what teams in the NBA they are most interested to see in action this year. JMV looks at the two games coming up for the Colts that could decide the fate of players on the roster. Is this job attractable? Also, looking ahead to Indiana traveling to Michigan Saturday afternoon. 

29:50– 45:08 – Kevin Bowen makes his appearance a little sooner than normal on a Wednesday. They marvel at how the Pacers haven’t won in New Orleans since 2021, as well as the most hyped up Indiana Sports seasons in recent memory and where this one ranks. John wonders if Shane Steichen will ever get out of the normal comments he makes from week to week, and Kevin gives his early outlook on the GM position and who could fill it. 

45:08 - 47:222– B105.7 won two Marconi’s so JMV wonders if this means he’s won a Marconi as well. 

47:22 – 1:09:10 – Chris Denari from Pacers TV on DAZN joins live from New Orleans ahead of the Pacers season opener tonight. He shares his excitement for the season, previews the New Orleans perspective, what the Pacers can carry over from the preseason performances they strung together, can Aaron Nesmith comeback and play anytime soon? He also explains how Kelly Oubre will help the Pacers this year. 

1:09:10 – 1:22:59 – Going over the Pacers and DAZN TV product and how it compares to other deals around the NBA.

1:22:59 – 1:28:46 – Singing Kurtis Blow’s ‘basketball’ song, wrapping up the second hour of the show!

1:28:46 – 1:51:48 – John may or may not be advocating for a streaming service that is illegal, then we get to callers, starting with George Costanza talking about Anthony Richardson and who he’d like to see be the next head coach. Then, another caller thinks Declan Doyle is a name nobody is talking about as next head coach. 

1:51:48 – 2:04:32  – Quenton Nelson media availability from today talking about how the team responds to Ballard being fired, what should JMV be for Halloween? Then, getting to more calls. 

2:04:32 – 2:08:57 - We give away passes to a re-screening of Hoosiers before Fulton calls in!

00:00 – 29:21 – John opens the show by relishing in the fact that The NBA season is beginning at 3:00pm eastern on a Tuesday, the Pacers season beginning and why John believes that the Pacers are due for good Karma. He moves back into the Chris Ballard conversation and points out that this was a unanimous feeling of wanting a firing to happen. 

29:21– 43:08 – The Colts signed Mecole Hardman and Thomas Moorestead, can you guess Moorestead’s age? Greg Rakestraw joins on a Tuesday to recap the mood of the Colts postgame huddle after the game Sunday. We get his reaction to the Chris Ballard news, plus Daniel Jones’ mishaps. Next, reaction to the IU loss Saturday afternoon, why the quarterback is a perfect example for the rest of the team, and where he will be calling an Indiana high school football game this week. 

43:08 - 48:25– Trucker Rob has an opinion on the youngest generation getting to see greatness again

48:25 – 1:14:05 – Reminiscing on Rocky 4 before Marlin Jackson joins the show. Johns asks him if any part of him is embarrassed as a former player watching this team, and what his message would be to the locker room as they head to Minnesota. Was Marlin surprised at the news? What type of GM does he think would work best as a replacement? He draws comparisons to Bill Polian and if he would like to see someone with his same ideas to come into the organization. 

1:14:05 – 1:28:46 – Getting to your calls and continued reaction to the Colts firing Chris Ballard yesterday. 

1:28:46 – 1:30:52 – Wrapping up the second hour by reflecting on the Reds anniversary of winning the 1990 World Series

1:30:52 – 1:57:46 – A texter thinks Caleb doesn’t like winners after his Joe Mazzulla and Nick Sirianni comments from earlier in the show. Then, we go back to callers we missed yesterday. One of them wants to know if hosts have to strike a balance between criticizing the Colts and holding back their criticism. 

1:57:46 – 2:10:53  – We play “Where are they now” as the NBA season gets started, taking more of your calls on what you’d like to see be done at the general manager position and are you more excited for Haliburton’s return or Ballard being gone?
