Stugotz is in for Boomer again today. It’s a feel good Friday but Gio is already dreading the ride home since it’s a Friday which means there’s a ton more traffic. After the show yesterday, Stugotz got high and walked around lower Manhattan then got drinks with friends last night. DeMarcus Ware sang the National Anthem at the Hall of Fame Game and Gio said it was terrible. Oh, and Darrelle Revis got fat. C-Lo is in for Jerry and is here for his first update, but first Stugotz got his own hotel room, not knowing the company got him one. Giancarlo Stanton homered last night as the yankees beat the Astros. Anthony Rizzo has been suffering concussion symptoms since May 28th and will finally go on the IL. Rizzo met the media to discuss his symptoms since then. Justin Verlander talked about his whirlwind time with the Mets and how strange it feels going back to Houston. The Jets lost to the Browns in the Hall of Fame Game but Zach Wilson did complete a 57 yard pass. Mekhi Becton talked about having pain some days and not others. In the final segment of the hour, The Dan Le Batard Show played audio of Stugotz from WFAN saying he wants to work there and how he can bring in advertising. We also talked about Dan in Carteret being mad at us for something Al said and something Gio said.
Former President of the Marlins, David Samson, joins us to talk about the Mets and Yankees issues. Many people blame him every time Giancarlo Stanton stinks.

Mekhi Becton wasn’t happy with the turf at the game.

He had no idea you had to transfer money out of Venmo to your checking account.
Eddie is going to Iceland in the middle of next week. We somehow got into how Joe Benigno and Bill Belichick became friends. But now, Bill doesn’t respond to Joe’s calls or texts. Gio has a hard time becoming friends with people who are somewhat famous like NFL coaches. Gio goes through his phone to see who’s number he has that’s somewhat famous. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with Billy McKinney hitting a HR as the Yankees beat the Astros. Chris Russo and Stephen A. Smith had an issue saying IKF’s name. We ran through all of Eddie’s drops involving Russo mispronouncing things. DeMarcus Ware explains why he sang the National Anthem last night. In the final segment of the hour, Gio once called in to the Dan Le Batard Show for the ‘looks like’ segment.
