Full Show - 10-13-23, A Guest Filled Show For The Final Show Before The Colts and Jaguars Game including Don Fischer and Kyle Wells Oct 13, 2023

(00:00 - 24:16) - The Ride with JMV is live this Friday from Walk Ons. JMV opens the show talking about the Colts injuries briefly to open the show before bringing on Mike DiRocco, the ESPN reporter for the Jacksonville Jaguars. DiRocco discusses his time in London covering the Jags vs. Bills game that took place last week. DiRocco is aware of the fact that the Colts are playing differently than last year and the team is expecting this might be a tough game. Back-up quarterback Gardner Minshew has a lot of the Colts fans confidence behind him. JMV and Mike go back and forth on the injury troubles both teams are facing so far this season.

(24:17 - 39:33) - The barrage of guests continues as host of the legendary Indiana Sports Talk, Bob Lovell, joins the show. Coach and JMV talk about the world of high-school football wrapping up their final regular season games today. Center Grove and Cathedral are two goliaths taking to the field tonight. Center Grove is a two time defending champ ranked 1st in the state going up agianst the 6th ranked Cathedral. A lot of unbeaten teams will be facing each other in their final regular season game which may have impact going into the those powerhouses playoff runs. Coach Lovell says that tournament this year is looking good because a handfull of traditionall good schools struggled this year as they had personnel changes. So there will be some unique matchups to be seen.

(39:34 - 43:31) - Touch and go shout out to the Philadelphia Phillies advancing to the NLCS for the second straight year. Does the chacne for rain in the IU vs. Michigan game make a difference for IU?

(43:32 - 1:06:33) - Mike Wells of ESPN Radio calls in to the show to talk Colts football. Before the football talk begins, Wells reveals that he and JMV's kids will be playing each other in basketball in a few weeks. Moving on, the conversation turns to whether or not Minshew stays the starter when Richardson is healthy again. While there is a lot of positivity around Minshews play so far this season is it important you have him start to make a playoff push or develop Richardson more. JMV and Wells believe that Colt's head-coach Shane Steichen has a lot more control over this team than previous coaches have. The two go back and forth about what they think the Indiana Pacers final record is going to be this season.

(1:06:34 - 1:23:07) - Next up on the guest list is Spero Dedes of CBS Sports. Spero believes that Minshew is a back-up quarterback that knows what he is stepping into and can lead the team while Richardson is injured. Coming back to Jacksonville where Minshew-mania started there will be a lot of momentum and something to prove for him as a quarterback. What pressure is there to give more snaps to Jonathan Taylor with his new contract and his return from injury? Will Zack Moss's momentum as runningback persist for most of the season? As a broadcaster does Dedes give any credit to a stat like "The Colts haven't won in Jacksonville since 2014."

(1:23:08 - 1:27:11) - JMV and Chris Hagan discuss Friday the 13th and other horror movies they remember growing up.

(1:27:12 - 1:53:50) - Voice of the Hoosiers Don Fischer talk with JMV. He is already in Michigan getting prepared for IU's matchup against the second ranked Wolverines. The rivalry between IU and Michigan has been one sided for the past two decades, however the Hoosier did beat them as recently as 2020. Fischer says not to be surprised if they are at least able to stay competitive during the game. Two freshman quarterbacks trying to earn IU's starting spot is not beneficial to the team according to Fischer. It leads to two young players starting to fall behind on gaining the experience neccessary to lead a championship capable football team. Fischer believes that Tom Allen's coaching strategy is not going to change as the season moves on. He just wants his team to get the job done. Don and JMV talk about The Eagles farewell show in Indy last week.

(1:53:51 - 2:06:42) - Justin Dunk of the Bleav podcast network for the Jackson Jaguars and 3DownNation is the final of six guests on the jam packed Friday show. Dunk claims that Jacksonville takes pride in the way they've defended the home field against the Colts over the years. Dunk talks about how the team has really prioritized their players energy. He gives the fact that Jacksonville was in London well before Buffalo made it there and that might have made them the better team as they had longer to adjust to the time zone. The Jags have a mentality where they are ready to really surprise people by making the playoffs again and making a run post-season run.

(2:06:43 - 2:08:00) - Touch and go Outro previewing next week.

Full Show: Indiana's Loss to Maryland with Dane Fife + Colts Head Coach Search with Kevin Bowen Feb 01, 2023

(0:00-28:12) The Ride with JMV kicks off on a Wednesday! John opens the show with Indiana’s loss to Maryland. The discussion centers around the lack of help for Trayce Jackson-Davis, fouls and more. It looks like Tyrese Haliburton is going to come back against the Lakers on Thursday and Daniel Theis is inching closer to seeing the floor. John discusses the Pacers rebounding issues and where that production could come from. Then, he turns to a Colts head coaching update and why there was no way Sean Payton could end up in Indianapolis. Is it Steichen or Brian Callahan? Jeff Saturday? A petition seems unnecessary from JMV’s point of view. Finally, John talks about what the Pacers are doing at the deadline.

(28:12-40:49) John remembers how fun the video game Tecmo Bowl was in the late 80s before the conversation returns to IU ahead of their matchup against Purdue on Saturday. Are the Pacers a buyer or seller? JMV has a different word to describe the local franchise with the deadline approaching.

(40:49-48:30) JMV wraps up the first hour with the current odds for the next Colts head coach, the Hoosiers loss to Maryland and some comments from the lounge.

(48:30-1:20:59) To kick off the second hour, Coach Dane Fife joins JMV to first talk about domestic life nowadays before getting into what happened with Indiana in College Park last night. Dane talks about the consistency – or lack thereof – of Indiana and why Purdue is so consistent both at home and on the road. Dane and JMV talk about the growing pains of getting back to the highest level of the Big Ten and college basketball and the upcoming matchup against Purdue. Dane talks about his relationship with the current players and players dealing with outside voices. The conversation wraps up with a more extensive IU-Purdue preview.

(1:20:59-1:27:16) John discusses some news from the day.

(1:27:16-1:35:07) JMV wraps the second hour with Tom Brady’s retirement, the Pacers at the deadline and the Colts.

(1:35:07-2:11:46) 107.5 the Fan and Kevin and Query’s Kevin Bowen joins the show as he does every Wednesday. KB and John discuss the Colts head coach search. Where does Jeff Saturday stand right now? What are the reasons that Saturday is not in the running for the head coaching position? Then, they discuss why there was no interest from Jim Harbaugh’s camp in being the HC in Indianapolis and why that didn’t pick up any steam. The conversation ends with a head coach prediction, how quiet the Colts have been throughout the process and what Bowen thinks the best choice is before finishing with the Pacers.

(2:11:46-2:16:23) John gives out some shoutouts from his remote last week at Alley Cat.

The conversation concludes with Belmonte’s bowling heroes and a few stories from his time in bowling.

Full Show: ESPN's Bobby Marks on Myles Turner and the NBA Trade Deadline! Jan 31, 2023

(0:00-27:32) The Ride with JMV is rolling on a Tuesday afternoon. John opens the show with the news that Tyrese Haliburton could be back against the Lakers on Thursday night. The Indiana Hoosiers are on the road to take on Maryland tonight in a tough environment. JMV touches on Purdue, their freshman and what makes them ready for big moments in the Big Ten. Kevin Willard says that he thinks Trayce Jackson-Davis is the best player in the country. Just coach speech? JMV discusses the rest of the Indiana roster and finding things to lean on other than TJD. John then sets up the rest of the show, setting the lineup of guests, and talks about Frank Reich’s introductory press conference in Carolina. That leads to a conversation about the extensive Colts head coaching search.

(27:32-45:14) Greg Rakestraw of the ISC Sports Network joins the show to first further the musical education of the listeners before turning his attention to a late tip off for the Indiana Hoosiers this evening. JMV and Rake preview the matchup, talk about IU’s current form and where more 3-point shooting might come from. Then, the conversation turns to the Butler Bulldogs and if this season’s struggles are just about one bad year or a foreshadowing of things to come. What about IUPUI? What is the status of the program right now and what’s the path to get more talent in the building? Including Indiana State, Rake discusses how mid major coaches are finding talent where others aren’t looking. John and Greg conclude with sectional action in high school hoops.

(45:14-48:21) JMV puts the finishing touches on hour one.

(48:21-1:13:52) To kick off the second hour, Jason Belmonte, the No. 1 bowler in the PBA, joins the show to discuss his favorite Australian band before discussing the 2023 U.S. Open happening in Indianapolis at Royal Pin Woodland.

(1:13:52-1:29:11) In the middle of the second hour, JMV continues the head coach discussion and a Jim Irsay reaction to a bit done by Joey Mulinaro about the owner and Jeff Saturday. Is there anything anyone can do to pull Irsay out of Saturday’s corner? JMV talks about the idea of a petition for Saturday to not be the head coach and what kind of reaction Irsay might have to it. Should Colts fans take stock in Peyton Manning vouches at this point?

(1:29:11-1:37:35) JMV wraps up the second hour with the Lounge on YouTube and phone calls about the coaching search.

(1:37:35-2:03:38) JMV goes back to the phone lines to kick off the final hour. Colts quarterback is the topic of conversation. Does it make sense to bulk up at other positions this year in the draft and go after a quarterback in 2024? John returns to the newest coaching hire news of the day. With the hiring of Sean Payton and DeMeco Ryans, the Colts and Cardinals are the only two teams left without a head coach. The segment ends with more callers.

(2:03:38-2:22:15) ESPN Front Office Insider Bobby Marks joins the show to discuss the Myles Turner extension and what it means for both him and the Pacers. Can Myles still be traded?
