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!
