00:00 - 28:34: JMV opens the show by recapping his weekend and previewing what’s in store for the show this week, which includes an exciting week-long ticket giveaway! He also offers his thoughts on Alex Golden’s latest story on LeBron James, the Fever’s dominant win over the Las Vegas Aces, what ultimately leads to recognition in basketball, the Conor McGregor “fight,” and the World Cup.

28:35 - 42:02: JMV previews the Pacers’ next NBA Summer League game, recalls a longtime Indy area news anchor’s connection to his fill-in producer for the next couple of days, and takes a call to talk more about the World Cup as well as interesting incidents in Indy concert history. He also discusses the Pacers’ front office, its belief in the team’s current core, and the WNBA’s Dan Patrick Show debacle that happened over the weekend. 

42:03 - 44:39: The NFL’s position rankings just came out, and the Colts will see lots of the top quarterbacks this season. JMV also previews the second hour of the show! 

44:40 - 1:11:32: JMV kicks off the second hour by the upcoming stops on the Tavern Tour. Then, former MLB catcher and Brownsburg native Tucker Barnhart joins the show to talk about the storylines (or lack thereof) from first half of the MLB season, lays out the differences between the MLB Draft and drafts in other leagues, gives his take on what’s going on with the Reds, when Franklin native Max Clark might be called up by the Tigers, the Home Run Derby, and more! 

1:11:33 - 1:20:01: JMV takes some questions from listeners on the text line, including whether or not Michigan AD Warde Manuel’s potential departure had anything to do with Dusty May skipping town for the Dallas Mavericks, the correlation between Caitlin Clark’s scoring and the Fever’s success, and more! 

1:20:02 - 1:24:53: Hour two concludes with JMV talking about the Pacers’ Summer League struggles early on in Las Vegas and the Colts facing two of the top five NFL quarterbacks, as ranked by ESPN, back-to-back to start the 2026 season and what it means for their pass rush. 

1:24:54 - 1:49:40: ESPN Colts reporter Stephen Holder joins the show to preview the final Colts training camp at Grand Park, what this year means for Laiatu Latu, DeForest Bucker’s return from his neck injury, how CJ Allen can replace Zaire Franklin, and the NFL’s latest quarterback rankings!  

1:49:41 - 2:02:37: JMV has some thoughts on the “nerdery” in certain parts of the Fever’s fanbase and the behind-the-scenes things that the WNBA needs to fix. With such a lopsided win over the Aces, JMV ponders if the Fever are getting on track at the right time. JMV also takes a call from a listener who was impressed with Sophie Cunningham’s 20-point performance off the bench in Las Vegas. 

2:02:38 - 2:05:13: JMV closes the show with the sad news that, per Jeff Rabjohns, longtime IU Radio Network voice Joe Smith has passed away.
