Indy 500 Legends w/ Dave Calabro, Pacers Lottery Disaster, Fever's First Test

This week's episode digs into the biggest Indiana sports stories that Hoosiers are actually talking about, with a sit-down featuring longtime WTHR sports director and Indianapolis Motor Speedway PA voice Dave Calabro. We start with Dom's candid response to the NBA Draft Lottery, where the Pacers' pick landed in the worst spot it could have. After hopes of cracking the top four, the selection now heads to the Clippers as part of the Ivica Zubac trade. The crew talks through Myles Turner leaving, Kevin Pritchard's apology, and whether Zubac is actually worth giving up that kind of asset. From there, we break down the Indiana Fever's 107–104 loss to the Dallas Wings. Caitlin Clark put up 20, Aliyah Boston added 23, and Kelsey Mitchell led the way with 30. Shooting was the difference. Then Calabro takes the mic. He walks through how he got into broadcasting, what he learned under the late Tom Carnegie, and some of his favorite stories from the Speedway. He also explains why the Indy 500 belongs on every Hoosier's bucket list, and why it hits different than any other event in sports. The episode wraps with an Indy 500 trivia segment and a few facts worth knowing before Race Day, including Josef Newgarden's back-to-back bonus on the line. 01:29 Pacers Lottery Heartbreak 04:50 Zubac Trade Fallout 06:47 Producer Reacts Live 12:04 Fever Season Debut 15:31 In Or Out Takes 17:00 Meet Dave Calabro 18:16 Indy 500 Origins 25:40 Tom Carnegie Mentorship 28:02 Broadcasting Then And Now 30:28 Carnegie Tribute Debate 31:26 Babe Ruth Baseball Story 32:32 Butterflies On The Mic 34:46 Favorite Indy 500 Memories 38:35 Predicting This Years Winner 41:03 Helio Drive For Five 43:13 Why The Indy 500 Matters 44:44 Nate Joins The Pod 45:48 Four Time Winners Quiz 47:31 Back To Back Bonus Explained 50:07 Biggest Comeback Ever 51:18 Indy 500 Fast Facts 52:37 Final Wrap Up
