00:00 – 24:14 – JMV opens the show live from Ale Emporium in Castleton and encourages folks to get there. He provides some stats on how Nico Collins has fared against the Colts in recent years, though his status is in doubt for Sunday’s game. He got to the Fever’s loss last night and hopes that isn’t the product we see in the postseason. Next, there’s been a lot of chatter about Carlie Irsay-Gordon taking notes on the sideline. He explains why it’s a fun story when the Colts are winning, but viewed as a negative when they are losing. 

24:14– 37:53 – Bob Lovell from Indiana Sports Talk makes his weekly 3:30 appearance on the show. They run through the best games of the week in all the classes and discuss if Bloomington South is for real or just haven’t played anyone yet. Also, in 2A, Brownstown Central faces off with Seymour in what’s expected to be a lopsided rivalry. Lastly, Bob’s plea to keep college games off of Friday nights. 

37:53– 44:58 – Chris Hagan from CBS4 and Fox 59 joins to break down some of the disasters surrounding Indianapolis sports before Joel Erickson joins the show live a segment early. Joel and Chris’ alma mater are facing off in a big SEC game this weekend. 

44:58 - 1:05:47 – JMV has finally gotten Joel A. Erickson out to one of his live shows. Chris Hagan is with John as well, and after discussing how bad of an influence John is, they get into the specifics of the Colts matchup with Houston. Will Alec Pierce and Nico Collins’ unavailability cancel each other out? Also, they discuss the lack of pass rush and why it will be vital at some point. They revisit Sunday night’s Shane Steichen decision and get Joel’s opinion on it.

1:05:47 – 1:22:18 – Owner of Ale Emporium, Brett, joins the crew to discuss the legendary location and what is happening at the restaurant this weekend. He asks Joel a question on why Chris Ballard has stuck around for this long compared to other GM’s timelines. 

1:22:18 – 1:26:51 – JMV makes fun of the people headed to watch WWE downtown before getting Joel’s pick for the game.

1:26:51 – 1:47:57 – The voice of the Indiana Hoosiers, Don Fischer, joins the show ahead of Indiana’s matchup with Northwestern this evening. He and JMV discuss the craziness to the idea of Aiden Chiles and Nick Marsh being a former QB-WR duo at Michigan State and now they will line up on opposing sidelines. Also, what’s the update on Kellan Wyatt and Stephen Daley? They touch on Josh Hoover’s performance so far this year and what the Hoosiers have built on through their three non-conference games. 

1:47:57 – 1:59:54 – Butch calls in once again to give his prediction on the Colts game Sunday. We also get a prediction from his “smoking hot wife” before Butch tells a heart-warming story of how long they’ve been married.

1:59:54 – 2:06:29 – Giving away Metallica tickets and wrapping up the show with Brett!
