Summary
(00:00-24:05) – Query & Company opens on a Wednesday with Jake Query, Jimmy Cook, and producer Eddie Garrison congratulating Mike Chappell on having the Colts Media Room named the Mike Chappell Media Room. Additionally, they preview tonight’s season opener for the Indiana Pacers against the Detroit Pistons. Finally, they highlight how important Bennedict Mathurin’s growth this season will impact the team’s success.
(24:05-33:55) – With Shane Steichen announcing that Jonathan Taylor and DeForest Buckner would be returning to the practice field today, Jake and Jimmy assess the impact those two will have this week. Also, they examine the upcoming schedule for the Colts following this week’s game against the Texans.
(33:55-40:58) – Hour number one concludes with Jake explaining the significance that former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Fernando Valenzuela’s had during his career with him passing away yesterday.
(40:58-1:03:38) – The IndyStar’s Dustin Dopirak joins Query & Company to highlight which player most interests him going into the season, identifies who the immediate backup five are for the Pacers with the season starting tonight, points out some comments that have been made about Bennedict Mathurin with him set to return tonight after missing the last couple months of their previous season, and would not be surprised if the Pacers average a point or two less this season just because it is hard to replicate that type of efficiency.
(1:03:38-1:13:44) – Following their conversation with Dustin Dopirak, Jake and Jimmy shift their conversation back to the Indianapolis Colts. They continue to highlight the importance of this game for Indianapolis when you look at where they would sit in the AFC South with a loss.
(1:13:44-1:22:13) – Hour number two concludes with Jake going on a rant about how some people treat high school basketball recruits when they don’t commit to the in-state school that that person was hoping for.
(1:22:13-1:45:18) – Casey Vallier, Colts radio network in-game studio host and radio coordinator, joins Jake Query & Jimmy Cook from the Colts complex to examine how likely it is that DeForest Buckner or Jonathan Taylor return this week, assesses whether the Colts will run Anthony Richardson like they did on Sunday if/when Taylor returns, and does agree with Jake that the Colts need to expand the passing game with Richardson as he continues to get more reps.
(1:45:18-1:55:33) – At the end of last segment, Jake posed a question for Jimmy, Eddie, and intern Cash about Halloween because he is curious how it has changed over time.
(1:55:33-2:03:09) – Today’s show ends with the JCook Plays of the Day and Eddie sharing a couple bets he likes!

| 0:00.0 | You know what's funny. |
| 0:03.0 | And there's big news about the Colts. |
| 0:04.7 | A couple of big things that Shane Steichen and the Colts organization announced just a couple |
| 0:08.8 | minutes ago, which we will get to in just a second. |
| 0:12.6 | But it's funny to me, I was thinking about over the course of the years, this particular day, and I know technically that like last |
| 0:23.1 | night is when it started, I think for the NBA, for a lot of people, and a big part of this |
| 0:28.8 | is because of the National Football League and just football season in general, and for that |
| 0:33.2 | matter, college football as well. But for the NBA, I think for a lot of people on the American |
| 0:42.9 | sports calendar or the American sports culture and landscape, opening day of the NBA |
| 0:48.5 | to a lot of people almost unofficially is Christmas Day. I think that's the day, and I realized by then games have been played forever, |
| 0:57.2 | and now the in-season tournament from a year ago changed that a little bit. |
| 1:02.0 | Because the in-season tournament, and we didn't know, |
| 1:04.3 | and I'll be curious this year to find out whether or not we have the same |
| 1:08.5 | oomph and enthusiasm and understanding, if you will, or perception of where it ranks nationally, will we feel that same way if the Pacers are not one of the teams that's going to Las Vegas for the finals of it? |
| 1:23.7 | I don't know. |
| 1:24.8 | It felt like a year ago the in-season tournament did what it was supposed to do, |
| 1:28.5 | which was make the NBA conversation mainstream before those Christmas Day games. |
| 1:35.6 | But for so long for this market and this franchise, opening day of the NBA for the Pacers season, |
| 1:42.2 | in particular for the Pacers, I think was really kind of exciting |
| 1:45.9 | and people got jazzed for it and it was really kind of a circle-the-calendar date event |
| 1:51.0 | because of the fact that it was the peak of the Pacer's season for so long. |
| 1:57.2 | Hey, come down and get your picture with a cardboard cutout with Wayman Tisdale. |
