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 – 25:26 – The show begins live from Free Spirit in Castleton for Heaven Hill Locks and Lunazul Tequila Shots. They review last week’s picks and JMV also talks about the defense one more time before he acknowledges we all need to put last week behind and move to Kansas City.

25:26– 41:17 – Todd Leabo of WHB 810 in Kansas City joins the show. He gives the lowdown on the Chiefs and what their left tackle situation looks like, how the Chiefs are viewing the Colts and some of the Indiana natives that suit up for the Chiefs. Plus, how does the second youngest roster in the league mesh with the team that’s led by veterans? He also answers some Chris Ballard questions as he used to work in Kansas City. 

41:17– 45:24 – JMV and Brent Holverson are pleased with adding college football to their picks, reviewing John’s conversation with Todd Leabo.

45:24 - 1:07:18 – Our Locks and Lunazul Tequila Shots picks begin in college football with some of the biggest games, including LSU-Ole Miss, Houston-Texas Tech and all of the Indiana teams in action! Then, they begin their week 2 NFL picks with Thursday night’s Lions-Bills matchup.

Also, what was his reaction to the “wake up call” line, and how realistic would it be to make a change in the front office mid-season?

1:52:42 – 2:01:53 – Kevin Todd returns to celebrate him calling his shot last week on the UCLA game and give his pick for this week.
