(36:17-43:07) – The first hour of the program wraps up with Jake revisiting the early quarterback history for the Indianapolis Colts prior to Peyton Manning’s arrival because there are some similarities.
(43:07-1:06:45) – Hour number two of today’s show with Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison starts with explaining why Shane Steichen felt like he needed to start Daniel Jones instead of Anthony Richardson. Jake welcomes more callers to share their thoughts on the situation.

He points out a couple of things he said in his opening statement that stood out, explains why he doesn’t think Shane Steichen had much of a voice in the quarterback decision from the get-go, and believes that Steichen’s opinion on Richardson changed when he tapped out of a game.
(1:54:14-2:10:23) – ESPN.com’s Stephen Holder makes his weekly appearance on the show to explain why he started feeling last Daniel Jones was going to win the job last week, reveals that Morocco Brown and Shane Steichen were the biggest advocates for drafting Anthony Richardson in 2023, has a feeling that Shane Steichen’s confidence in himself plays a role in this decision, and believes Daniel Jones won the job because he won the job based off things Shane Steichen values but Anthony Richardson won the job on the football field.
(2:10:23-2:14:50) – Today’s show closes out with Jake taking another call about the Colts QB situation and JMV joining to preview his show!

| 0:10.1 | Shane Stike and the head coach of the Colts making the announcement that we were all awaiting. |
| 0:16.4 | And admittedly, and I will go back to it and say it once again, |
| 0:26.7 | I was like that goldfish in the Faith No More video, flip-flopping all over the place on which way I thought this was going to go. |
| 0:34.0 | And open disclaimer, I had said, you know, a while ago that Daniel Jones was going to be the starter. And then as the more I thought about it, I thought, if there is a tie, |
