Kevin & Query Podcast

(0:00-22:13) Kevin & Query are rolling on a Monday starting with a busy weekend at IMS. Jake calls it the windiest day he’s ever seen at the speedway and details the conditions during the GMR Grand Prix. After two series that went the distance, yesterday brought a disappointing pair of Game 7’s in the NBA. Who is the best player left of the final four teams? And is there something to be said for Dallas finally winning multiple series after Rick Carlisle left? We’ll find out where the Pacers will pick in the first round tomorrow with the draft lottery. The first segment finishes with more conversation on the GMR Grand Prix and the Cincinnati Reds make history. (22:14-26:41) Morning Checkdown. (26:42-46:34) Kevin & Query talk Colts minicamp last week and the wide receiver position, specifically Julio Jones. Then, we talk about what Drew Brees and his undecided plans for the next year and whether or not he will work on the broadcast side next season. Brees’ pickleball quote leads to a conversation about pickleball and pickup basketball. Kevin & Query spin the lottery wheel on Tankathon and talk about the Pacers chance of getting the No. 1 overall pick. (46:35-1:11:52) To open the second hour, Jake’s Indy 500 trivia gears are turning before we dive into a discussion about the Colts quarterback position. How lucky did the Colts get with Matt Ryan becoming available? Were they in the 11 o’clock hour with the quarterback situation? In an all-important conversation, we break down Jim Irsay’s most recent Twitter video. Then, there’s a conversation about the Colts prior interest in Deshaun Watson and whether or not the Irsay family would’ve signed off on a Watson signing. Morning Checkdown.

It’s all racing in this segment.  (1:23:56-1:31:20) we finish up the second hour with the YouTube series Jake is doing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway – The Golden Badge series. Why are the Colts so bad in season openers? Kevin was asked that last week, so he and Jake ponder that question. (1:31:21-2:00:26) On Saturday, he won the GMR Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. On Monday, Colton Herta joins Kevin & Query to recap the weekend. Colton talks about what he called one of the toughest races of his career and the impact Mother Nature had on Saturday’s race. We take a quick detour to talk about Colton’s band, the Zibs, before talking about the driver’s testing with Formula 1 and McLaren this year. Then, Jake, Kevin and Colton talk about tire strategy on Saturday and Colton’s professional rivalry with Pato O’Ward. To round out the conversation, Colton relives what happened during last year’s Indy 500 and Bryan Herta being his son’s race strategist. Morning Checkdown. (2:00:27-2:11:44) Pop Quiz.
