Summary
(00:00-23:09) – Query & Company opens on a Friday with Greg Rakestraw filling in for Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison going over the topics that will be covered on the show today with the various guests. Can the Pacers flip the competitive switch back on after a season that they were content with not winning? Is the roster for IU basketball solidified and how good will the football team be this season with Josh Hoover quarterbacking the Hoosiers?
(23:09-39:29) – Jeremiah Johnson from Pacers TV joins Greg Rakestraw on Query & Company to give his thoughts on the 2025-2026 season for the Indiana Pacers, evaluates how the team morale changed when Tyrese Haliburton couldn’t be around because of shingles, admits that he is fascinated with the potential Charlotte Hornets vs Detroit Pistons first round playoff matchup, and discusses the future of where fans can watch Pacers games next season.
(39:29-48:03) – The first hour of Query & Company concludes with Greg Rakestraw discussing the WWE promotion that has been on ESPN the last couple of days and ties it into the fact that the NBA playoffs this weekend aren’t on cable television, for the most part. He answers a question from a listener about Jonathan Taylor and the need for finding another running back.
(48:03-1:11:39) – Mike Niziolek from the Bloomington Herald Times makes an appearance on Query & Company with Greg Rakestraw filling in for Jake Query to discuss the change in interest from IU football barely being talked about to all the time. He elaborates on the approach from year one to year two for Curt Cignetti in the transfer portal, comments on the potential role for Trent Sisley in his sophomore year, and warns people that Fernando Mendoza’s season was historically good and Josh Hoover might not be able to match that success.
(1:11:39-1:23:39) – Greg and Eddie talk about The Fan Invitational Golf Outing and Greg discussing how much he enjoys playing at the Legends Golf Club. Greg also examines Mel Kiper’s latest mock draft because he has the Colts addressing one of their two biggest needs on the defensive side of the football.
(1:27:04-1:37:20) – Hour number two of Query & Company concludes with IndyCar Radio’s anchor, Mark Jaynes, joining Query & Company to explain what makes this weekend’s race in Long Beach so special. Greg asks him if he is starting to see more people interested in the series versus a particular driver or two and if this season is a two-horse race between Alex Palou and Kyle Kirkwood for the championship.
(1:37:20-1:56:42) – Kevin Bowen from The Fan Morning Show makes his weekly stop on Query & Company and talks about his Colts Mock Draft that is live on the website with Greg Rakestraw. Does Lou Anarumo value linebacker enough for Chris Ballard to select one in the second round? What does he expect from Hunter Wohler and Justin Walley? Kevin shares what he has been able to gather on how Daniel Jones is looking five months from tearing his achilles.
(1:56:42-2:08:51) – Every Friday at 2:30pm, Jake Query shares a Good For The Heart story sponsored by Franciscan Health. Today, Jake shares a story about an Indianapolis teenager with autism being able to fulfill his dreams because of a scholarship. Plus, Dr. Louis Janiera calls into the show to share some statistics about women’s heart health and some things women can to do to maintain a healthy ticker!
(2:08:51-2:23:14) – Today’s show ends with JMV joining Greg Rakestraw in studio to preview his show!
