Hour 1:

It’s a beautiful summer Monday after a rainy Sunday and the New York baseball teams returned from the All-Star break with a dud. The Mets are done and the Yankees are on the road to nowhere. Gio spent the weekend partying with his father-in-law. They started early Friday afternoon and stayed out very late Friday night. Gio left a sliding glass door open and a lot of mosquitos and flies made their way inside. The Yankees bullpen melted down on Sunday. We know what the Yankees problems are but not if they can be fixed midseason. When will Aaron Judge come back and how close to 100% will he be when he does return? Fans are counting down the days until football season starts. CLo is in for Jerry and begins with the Yankees blowing a game in Colorado and losing another series to a bad team. Aaron Boone got very testy with the media. Jerry doesn’t think we appreciate Gerrit Cole enough. The Mets salvaged the finale of their series against the Dodgers. Max Scherzer actually pitched very well. Jerry was at a baseball field with a mound that wasn’t centered. Today is deadline day for Saquon Barkley and other franchise-tagged players. DeAndre Hopkins took more money to sign with the Titans. Gio had a problem with the coverage of the Scottish Open. Steph Curry wins at everything. In the final segment of the hour, Gio shares some top - and bizarre - headlines with Jerry. What words could Gio tweet out of context without getting in trouble? We’ve grown numb to cursing. Does Gio curse more than the average person? Jerry got duped by a well-known scalper and Gio scalped a fake ticket to the Aaron Boone game.

Hour 2:

How realistic is it that Max Scherzer and/or Justin Verlander can be traded in the next two weeks? Gio would find a way to unload Scherzer. Jerry wonders if Scherzer or Verlander would even waive their no-trade clauses for certain contenders. Maybe these pitchers think they owe it to Steve Cohen to stick it out with the Mets. Will there be a market correction on the price for starting pitchers? Starters make too much money and good relievers don’t make enough. CLo returns for an update but first Jerry asks if golfing has cut into Gio’s boat time and Gio shares a story about a boat mishap. He’s losing it with his boat. Some guys out on the water in Suffolk are not familiar with Gio or WFAN. John Flaherty did play-by-play for Sunday’s Yankees loss. What happened to Anthony Rizzo? The Yankees bullpen is going through a tough stretch. The Mets somehow managed to win a game. What happened to Pete Alonso? Max Scherzer had a lot to say about mud in his cleats and his landing spot. In the final segment of the hour, Gio explains that he knows his slip problem is a first-world problem but it’s still frustrating. We hear from callers who feel Gio’s pain. Gio and Jerry discuss other embarrassing moments to have strangers witness. 

Hour 3:

It’s deadline day for Saquon Barkley and the Giants. Will they come to an agreement on a long-term deal? Gio thinks Saquon will have to cave and take a deal he doesn’t want because he, unfortunately, won’t get a better offer down the road. The Giants offer isn’t what Saquon wants but it offers the most security. Jerry thanks there’s room for compromise between the two sides. It stinks that running backs are forced to live in this devalued world but it’s reality. The disparity between QB and RB contracts is huge. Saquon is fighting an unwinnable battle. Gio and Jerry agree the Giants have a chance to be very good this season. It’s great that we can actually look forward to football this year. CLo returns but first Gio discusses eating beaver after killing it while hunting. What careers earn more than running backs? Joe Benigno did a Q&A with the New York Post. The Yankees bullpen blew two leads in Colorado yesterday. The Rockies tried to hand the Yankees the series with horrible fielding mistakes. The Mets found a way on Sunday and avoided getting swept. The Wimbledon final was epic and had some interesting celebrity drama surrounding attendees as well. There were some strange sounds too. In the final segment of the hour, Gio is disappointed in who was chosen to be the “Golden Bachelor” because he’s too attractive and too cool. Gio wanted to see a regular guy on the show. Gio could program an amazing TV network.

Hour 4:

How many New York baseball teams will we be talking about this fall? Gio guesses zero. For every bad team that goes on a run there are a ton that stink all the way through the end of the season. The Yankees have hope but are not playing to the standard we have for the Yankees. So much will come down to when Aaron Judge comes back. The Mets ruined any momentum they could have had with their recent 4 game losing streak. The Mets would have to play almost exactly like last year’s team to make a run this year. It’s a large enough sample size this year to believe they aren’t capable of playing that well. CLo returns for his final update of the day. The Yankees lost a game and series and Aaron Boone told a reporter to “save it” with that question. The Mets only scored 3 runs this weekend. At least they won a game. Gio has a story of our friend Pete Bellotti just missing out on meeting his favorite actor, Paul Rudd. Vic Dibitetto posted about the reaction to his clip being played on the show and then calling into the show. CLo has a Moment of the Day featuring Jerry asking questions he probably regrets. In the final segment of the day, Gio and Jerry offer condolences to the family of Elise Finch from CBS News. Would you legally represent an alleged serial killer?

From '1st & Pod' (subscribe here): Danny Parkins and Andrew Fillipponi think the NFLPA needs to lead big changes on RB value, playing on the franchise tag and giving more value to their production.

Jerry has questions about eating beavers.

Will Max Scherzer or Justin Verlander be traded and will the price for starting pitchers come down?
