(00:00 - 28:12) - The show kicks off with Colt's cornerback Darrell Baker Jr. joining the show. Marc and Kevin ask him questions about being born in Panama and coming over to the U.S. and his life in Georgia prior to becoming a pro. They talk about his teammates, who he is learning from, who is helping him get settled with the team, and who talks the best trash. News breaks mid-segment that practice will be moved inside during training camp today due to poor field conditions. Kareem Hunt did not leave with a deal in Indianapolis yesterday, so the Colts signs Hunt Lee from Philadelphia. (28:13 - 32:54) - Morning Checkdown (32:55 - 45:27) - A recap of the events taking place in Maui. The Colt's first depth chart was released for the pre-season yesterday. Marc and Kevin go back and forth on some of the names the Colts will be playing, and some the team will be facing. Colts defense takes center stage of conversation in regard to what players are running out of time to prove themselves as being valuable parts of the defensive unit. (45:28 - 1:14:33) - Going over the Matt Ryan conversation on Adam Schefter's podcast. Ryan talks as if he is surprised that running backs have been neglected in the league for so long. Kevin and Marc go over the franchise tags for each position in the league. The franchise tag cap is expected to rise from 10 to 13 million in 2024. More Ryan and Schefter clips played about Ryan's feelings on if Jonathan Taylor will play for the Colts this season or try to sit the season out. (1:14:34 - 1:34:27) - Someone called in and actually wanted to talk Notre Dame basketball. Producer Sam's microphone is finally working. More talk of Kareem Hunt leaving Indianapolis without a contract last night. Colts practice was moved indoors. Kevin is hoping to hear more from Colts Head Coach Shane Steichen today on what kind of minutes starters will play in joint practices and the pre-season. (1:34:29 - 1:34:27) - More talk about Anthony Richardson starting. Should he be getting the hits that a quarterback would usually be taking in the regular season now that he is no longer going up against pros instead of college players. (1:34:28 - 1:43:04) - Pop Quiz (1:43:05 - 2:06:44) - Mike Chappell of Fox59 joins the show to talk updates on the Colts. Chappell has been on the scene at Colts training camp just as much as The Fan's Kevin Bowen. He goes into depth on all the Colts roster moved over the last few days. Picking up running backs and cornerbacks to prepare for the regular season. When is the last time a player like Jonathan Taylor rehabbing off site and away from training camp was viewed as a good thing? The last thing for Richardson to prove himself to Chappell is to have him take some contact against professional level players. (2:06:45 - 2:20:40) - ESPN's Field Yates closes out the show with Marc & Kevin. Yates says there has been a lot of front office talk about the Jonathan Taylor situation. Colt's owner Jim Irsay may have hurt Chris Ballard's ability to trade Jonathan Taylor with his comments on Twitter/X. Yates has heard there is a market for a trade with another team and Jonathan Taylor, but as time rolls on the ability to get maximum value for him is becoming slimmer. Value wise, Indianapolis needs to be looking for a player plus a draft pick for someone like Taylor. Shifting to Fantasy Football how should fantasy players treat Jonathan Taylor as an asset given the uncertainty of him playing. Field Yates gives his core beliefs for a fantasy football draft.Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/the-wake-up-call-1075-the-fan/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(00:00 - 14:15) - Kevin and Query is live on the scene today from the Indiana State Fair's opening day. The show begins with a lot of State Fair admiration and memories. Sports talk starts with the daytime drama that the Jonathan Taylor contract talks have become. Kevin & Query discuss some Jim Irsay quotes in regard to Jonathan Taylor. (14:16 - 16:56) - Morning Checkdown (16:57 - 42:48) - Greg Rakestraw joins in to close out the opening segment. A quick review of everyone's Dairy Bar experience at the fair. Colts talk immediately turns back to Jonathan Taylor's contract situation. Rakestraw believes that Taylor will eventually be signed to a multi-year deal, but no longer than 2-3 years at most. How long will the Colts need to look at Anthony Richardson at quarterback before they dedicate to putting pieces around him as their starter. A grilled cheese is delivered mid interview. The United States Women's soccer team just needs a draw to guarantee their next step into the World Cup. Greg talks about how the rest of the world is catching up to the United States due to them taking the sport a bit more seriously, and the American rosters turn over. (42:49 - 1:05:31) - The Jonathan Taylor talk starts to revolve around his previous injury and his ability to come back as a strong running back off of the injury. All the ways the Colts could structure a deal that keeps Taylor here without having to use the franchise tag. Could Jonathan Taylor afford to sit out the year? Jonathan Taylor's image might be getting hurt due to these contract negotiations. Is firing his agent a possibility? More review of some Stephen Holder tweet's from yesterday. (1:05:32 - 1:12:32) - Mike Chappell from CBS4 calls in to the show as he is driving to his 40th Colt's training camp. Jim Irsay tweet's out just as the interview begins that the practice is being moved indoors due to bad weather. Chappell says this is a bad situation for the fans as it severely limits the attendance of people at the practice due to limited space. The interview is cut short due to rainy weather. (1:12:33 - 1:20:50) - Segment 3 is shortened up due to having to move inside because of the poor weather. The state fair delayed the opening of their gates today. A lot of talk about weather effecting Colts practice. Which happens first, Glenn Robinson III returns to the NBA or Carson Wentz returns to the NFL. (1:20:51 - 1:44:40) - Mike Chappell rejoins the show to begin the 3rd hour.Jonathan Taylor needs to get practicing sooner rather than later to prove his worth according to Chappell. Coming off this injury, there is no telling how well he will be able to perform if he isn't on the field and that could affect his contract negotiations. Social media has played a large part in Taylor's negotiations with him liking and unliking Tweets. Long-term means different things to different people and positions, for a running back three years is long term. Mike Chappell's phone cuts out mid interview. (1:44:41 - 1:55:47) - Pop Quiz (1:55:48 - 2:09:26) - Jake is solo in the final segment as Kevin had to take of for Colts training camp. Jake has cheese sculptor Nancy Baker as a special guest. She is at the state fair sculpting a 1280 pounds of cheese for the Indiana State Fair today. She has been sculpting cheese for nine years, this is her first time representing the American Dairy association.Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/the-wake-up-call-1075-the-fan/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(00:00 - 27:41) - Kevin is back after a week off on this Monday Morning Kevin & Query. Jake on the other hand is still traveling back from Iowa, so Kevin and Marc get the show started by previewing Colts training camp which they will be live from on Tuesday. The Cincinnati Reds are back to their winning ways, taking 5 straight recently. Danny Lopez is going to be on the show later with an announcement about All-Star weekend for the NBA in Indianapolis for 2024. The Colts had some interesting choices for marketing their new jerseys. Several of the Colts rookie draft picks have still yet to sign with the team. (27:42 - 34:42) - Morning Checkdown (34:43 - 44:26) - Kevin recently wrote an article of 53 questions heading into Colts training camp. Marc asks some of those questions back to Kevin. Including, will Jonathan Taylor receive a contract extension and is Mo Alie-Cox capable of giving the team more? (44:27 - 1:08:21) - More anticipation for Colts training camp coming up. Several days have sold out already. Pacers Head-Coach had a great comparison between the Pacers transformation over the past two years and the Colts transformation this offseason. Returning to Kevin's list of 53 questions. How will quarterback reps be divided up? How high is the urgency for the team to sign a veteran cornerback? (1:08:22 - 1:20:20) - Danny Lopez Vice President of External Affairs for the Indiana Pacers joins the show to give all the details surrounding the 2024 NBA All-Star Game. His exclusive announcement is that tickets that are reserved exclusively for Hoosiers will go on sale at 2:00 p.m. today. He also says that the team is setting up a full weekend of events outside of just the All-Star schedule. The team is really hoping to transform the downtown area to almost compare to an NFL Super Bowl Village. Gainbridge Fieldhouse's inside renovations are done, the outside plaza is the last piece of the puzzle which Lopez says is aiming for an August open. (1:20:21 - 1:30:02) - It was announced that former Colts running back Nyheim Hines suffered a non-football related injury to his knee while the show was on air. Hines most notable moment with the Buffalo Bills last year was returning an opening kick for a touchdown the game after Damar Hamlin's injury. Marc and Kevin draw comparisons to the timing of Hines's injury and Colts injuries prior to the season beginning. (1:30:03 - 2:01:00) - Joel Erickson of the IndyStar calls into the program to talk Colts training camp. Kevin and Joel tease each other quickly as the Cincinnati Reds (Kevin's team) and the Milwaukee Brewers (Joel's Team) will be facing each other soon. Erickson gives his top 3 questions for GM Chris Ballard, who will be a guest on the program tomorrow. All three are similar to ones that were discussed earlier in the show. Colts haven't made many if any changes to their offensive line and Erickson is wondering if the team might be signing up their quarterbacks for failure yet again if the line doesn't improve. Does Erickson have any information on the Jonathan Taylor contract talks? Would Taylor risk sitting out the last year of his contract? Erickson believes that Richardson just has to match the potential effectiveness of Gardner Minshew to earn the Week 1 start. Kevin and Joel make a bet on the Reds/Brewers series. (2:01:01 - 2:08:39) - Pop Quiz (2:08:40 - 2:17:36) - The show closes out with a rundown of the upcoming week.

(00:00 - 24:36) - The Friday Edition of Kevin & Query begins with the news of the Colts new alternate jerseys and the Washington Commanders being sold. What team, other than the Colts, has a logo that changes color when sold at retail compared to the players uniforms. The Colts news jerseys aren't that special, they are cool, but Jake and Marc don't think it will really move the needle in terms of appeal. (24:37 - 26:56) - Morning Checkdown (26:57 - 45:08) - Greg Rakestraw of the ISC Network and Soccer Saturday stops by the show for a quick spot discussing women's soccer both internationally and in Indianapolis. Rakestraw says the gap in skill between America and the rest of the world is starting to shrink. Other countries around the world are starting to take soccer more seriously. Canada, Spain, and Germany are all becoming serious threats. The segment closes with callers discussing soccer at Lucas Oil Stadium, and the Colts uniforms. (45:09 - 1:09:44) - More Colts jersey talk. What if this is an audition for a new standard Colts jersey? Now that the Washington Commanders have been sold, the team may be changing its name and imaging again. A caller has some stories for Jake. Jake and callers go on a trip down memory lane with Indianapolis hosting the Pan-American Games. (1:09:45 - 1:23:56) - A final caller involving the Pan-Am games. Mark has concerns about the Colts schedule this year. With the team's lack of cornerbacks there are several offenses that could pose a major threat against the team this year. Mark runs down the list of teams and Jake gives his levels of concern on each individual team. Depth is the Colts biggest concern this season. (1:23:57 - 1:32:44) - Indiana State Fair Ticket Giveaway (1:32:45 - 2:00:52) - George Bremer of the Anderson Herald Bulletin joins the program to talk about the Indianapolis Colts upcoming season. Bremer also gives his initial view on the new Colts jerseys. Talk turns to Shaquille Leonard's health coming up to the 2023 season, and while the video he released is encouraging, nothing is really set in stone until he is finally back on the field and up to speed. Bremer believes that Jonathan Taylor's contract is more concerning than Leonard's health. He also believes that Anthony Richardson is the main choice for starting week one at quarterback. Michael Pittman Jr. as the Colts primary receiver is going to have to also help be that reliable source for Richardson. Training camp with fewer and shorter practices seems to be more of a hinderance than a help to Bremer. (2:00:53 - 2:12:29) - Pop Quiz (2:12:30 - 2:20:02) - Jake can stop a Bucc-ee's competitor Wally's on his way to Iowa.Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/the-wake-up-call-1075-the-fan/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rick DeMulling former Guard for the Indianapolis Colts calls in to the program to talk about the team's upcoming training camp. DeMulling had a unique experience as a player coming to Indianapolis as summer humidity didn't really affect him in the Pacific Northwest. He describes the Midwest weather as "hoping you don't die." At what point did he stop looking over his shoulder in training camp and did he ever feel like he didn't have to take training camp as seriously. Great back and forth between Jake and Rick about players mental health and how it shows over the course of a season.

(00:00 - 23:44) - Thursday's Kevin & Query kicks off with Jake almost being late to the show! An accident on Meridian slowed him down but he made it into the studio at just the right time. The big news this morning is that Jarace Walker is reportedly injured. A Woj tweet revealed that he has elbow surgery. Walker is expected to still be ready when training camp starts later this year. Somebody won the Powerball last night. What do modern players think of training camp compared to older players? (23:45 - 28:20) - Morning Checkdown (28:21 - 43:27) - A quick Huey Lewis memory from Jake. Saquon Barkley appeared on the Money Matters podcast yesterday and had some harsh words for the New York Giants organization, claiming he could potentially just choose to sit out the 2023 season. Do Barkley's actions and words give or take power away from Jonathan Taylor and his negotiating power with the Colts. Despite Daniel Jones's improvement at quarterback, Barkley is still the Giants main offensive weapon and that has to count for something. (43:28 - 1:09:59) - Rick DeMulling former Guard for the Indianapolis Colts calls in to the program to talk about the team's upcoming training camp. DeMulling had a unique experience as a player coming to Indianapolis as summer humidity didn't really effect him in the Pacific North West. He describes the Midwest weather as "hoping you don't die." At what point did he stop looking over his shoulder in training camp and did he ever feel like he didn't have to take training camp as seriously. Great back and forth between Jake and Rick about players mental health and how it shows over the course of a season. DeMulling gives his opinion on joint practices and if they are beneficial to a team. (1:10:00 - 1:28:53) - Scott Agness of the Pacer's Fieldhouse Files comes on the show to discuss the Jarace Walker news regarding his elbow surgery. Agness has to first describe what "loose bodies" are, those being the reason for Walker's surgery. Agness says that this really isn't much of a story, plenty of players go through minor operations like this from season to season and it doesn't get picked up by media. Agness moves on to give the highlights of the Pacers summer league, the performances of Bennedict Mathurin and Isaiah Jackson were impressive to him. George Hill has been very open about his desire to play at least one more season with the Pacers, but the team still has to make room for him. After, Hill has a strong desire to be involved with the team in a different capacity. (1:28:54 - 1:34:25) - Indiana State Fair Ticket Giveaway.
