(00:00-25:28) – Query & Company opens on a Friday with Greg Rakestraw filling in for Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison discussing the four big topics of today’s show. Rake comments on Myles Turner’s goodbye post to the Indiana Pacers, IndyCar in Iowa this weekend, the Fever back on the floor tonight after a brutal loss last time out on Wednesday and asks Eddie if he’s heard from Jake since leaving Wednesday for Manchester. (25:28-38:40) – Indy Eleven Head Coach Sean McAuley joins the show to talk about his teams commanding 3-0 win over Monterey Bay FC on Saturday night, explains why he always adapts his tactics during the course of the season instead of playing the same way each match, shares what his relationship is like with former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, and compares where central Indiana ranks on the places that he has lived in his life. (38:40-44:36) – The first hour of the program concludes with Greg Rakestraw highlighting what’s going on in Wimbledon between Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic. Plus, he comments on the up-and-coming American tennis players. (44:36-1:09:04) – Michael Young from the IndyCar Radio Network makes an appearance on Query & Company with Greg Rakestraw to discuss the expectations for the two races at Iowa Speedway this weekend, explains how hard it is for teams to turnaround from Saturday night and then race again on Sunday afternoon, Scott Dixon’s legacy and how much longer he will race, and identifies Team Penske’s struggles as the storyline that he will be monitoring in the final seven races of the season. (1:09:04-1:24:17) – Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files joins the show and starts his conversation with Greg Rakestraw discussing the first Summer League game for the Indiana Pacers, notes why it is such an important event for people involved with the NBA, previews tonight’s Fever game against the Atlanta Dream, and notes what All-Star weekend could be like for the WNBA in comparison to All-Star weekend for the NBA when it was in town. (1:24:17-1:28:24) – Hour number two of the show concludes with Greg providing an update on Sinner vs Djokovic in Wimbledon. Rake wonders if that was the last time Novak competes in the major. (1:28:24-1:50:24) – The final hour of the show starts with Greg Rakestraw highlighting the gusts that he’s had on today’s show and noting some things that were discussed that he wanted to revisit. Specifically, what the rest of the season looks like for Team Penske and starts wondering what the team could look like next season. Additionally, he explains why people need to celebrate the accomplishment that Clayton Kershaw made last week because it could be a while before we see another pitcher reach 3,000 career strikeouts. (1:50:24-2:03:42) – As Jake does every Friday on Query & Company, he provides heart health advice to you through our partnership with Franciscan Health. Dr. Sharath Vipparthy joins the show and explains what atrial fibrillation is and some of the risk factors that leads to people experiencing AFib. (2:03:42-2:10:37) – Today’s show closes out with Greg Rakestraw giving away a pair of tickets for a listener to go see Dierks Bentley next weekend!

Have you tried SCUBA yet? SCUBA diving is a whole different type of adventure sport. Other worldly? Quite. Weightless? Of course. Like flying? Some say it is. Flying with creatures that seem to be from another planet? Ever really look at an octopus or a sea anemone? And who better to fill us in on the wonder of the sport than Scott Taylor! This is a revisited episode from nine years ago, but I have always loved this one because Scott is top rate!
