00:00 – 29:37 – We start the show with Chris Ballard comments from report day at Colts training camp, including his comments on not talking about a contract extension. John wonders why he's saying he wouldn't sign one considering he's in his last year. Also, what is Anthony Richardson's value? John thinks this season is headed to disaster if it doesn't start well. John also gets into the brawls at the TBT games last night, plus the WNBA announces a replay system.

29:38 – 44:20 – JMV is frustrated with Eddie Garrison because he shut the TV off behind him. John complains about that before Greg Rakestraw of the ISC Sports Network joins a Colts camp discussion before touching on IU and Purdue football and how the changes around the Big Ten will or won't affect them. Is the Big Ten the best football league? Lastly, Greg reflects the Brickyard, and did JMV just get nominated for a Marconi? 

44:20 – 50:32 – JMV wants to recreate Dance Party USA, but call it Dance Party JMV. Plus, John reveals he's never been to New York.

50:32 – 1:21:38 – The second hour starts with John touching on which NBA job would be more appealing, the Dallas Mavericks or the Golden State Warriors. Radio voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor, joins and he and JMV reminisce on the old days when Matt produced his show and the time he got Adam Sandler on the show. They reflect on Radio Row at the Super bowl before the question of if it would ever return to Indy. Next, they get into what has to happen to make the Colts successful in 2026.

1:21:38 – 1:30:20 – There's a rumor on X that the Pacers will be in Madison Square Garden to play the Knicks on Christmas day, should we believe it? Revisiting the last time the Pacers played on Christmas day leads us to guess what the starting lineup looked like in 2004 after the brawl suspensions.

1:30:20 – 1:37:46 – JMV gets to the answer of the starting lineups for the last Pacers Christmas day game before wrapping up the second hour!

1:37:46 – 2:04:46 – Pete Nakos of On3 & Rivals makes his first appearance on the show to discuss all things Big Ten football as their commissioner, Toni Pettiti stepped to the podium today. He breaks down why we will need to pay attention to the coaching carousel rumors on Indiana's staff before giving us some sleepers in the conference. Plus, has the Lincoln Riley era at USC been a disappointment? After he talked with Barry Odom for a recent article, Pete shares if he's the right guy to lead the Purdue football program. 

2:04:46 – 2:15:28 - A Big Ten media poll picked the standings as well as the offensive player of the year. Plus, we revisit the "rumors" that the Pacers could be playing on Christmas day.

 2:15:28 – 2:24:12 - JMV gives away State Fair tickets to wrap up the show!
