The Cardinals lost 12-4 last night to the freaking Padres. THE NBA IS THE BEST REALITY TV ON EARTH! Kyrie to Boston Isaiah Thomas to the Cavs. Dr. Ed joins the guys in studio as he does as every week. He kills it as always and weirdly looked more comfortable with Travis not bothering him.

Beat Writers, Columnists we are fans of the ones that don't always take their job too seriously. Jeff Wagenheim joins us from the Washington Post to discuss everything MMA.

We’re at Pepper’s! Come by and see us and drop off some school supplies for the Bevo Community Donation Drive. Cardinals didn’t play yesterday but BenFred had a great column about Tommy Pham. The eclipse was way cooler than we thought it was going to be. NFL preseason games are a bummer for gambling and playing. Is tampering really a thing anymore? Gaines is going to go to the Mills for Blues practice whether he likes it or not. Chris makes his debut on the Wake-Up Hour and takes over the show, but it’s fine because radio time is slow time.

The first hour kicks off with some Eclipse talk. Travis was anti-eclipse. Chris and Gaines were pretty fascinated by it. Travis is done with the Cardinals. Gaines a bit more optimistic. Trump looked right into the sun. Browns players knelt during the national anthem last night including the first white player to do so. What is the NFL going to do about the Kaepernick situation. A discussion on the different sports and the way they handle social situations.

The fight of the century is kind of quiet. Travis has a question about coaching for the hosts to close out the hour. 

A lot things were said in this hour. Game of Thrones talk about the overrated show. The BBC ranked the best comedies of all time. Gaines gives his own list. Travis didn't know that the British aren't huge fan of black comedians. As we do often we go through rotten tomatoes scores. The people's Fair or Foul closes out the show as it does everyday.

Cards lose 6-3 in Williamsport over the weekend and now they’re 3.5 back and 4 out of the Wild Card. Are they still in the race? We aren't entirely sure. It’s eclipse day! Don’t look at the sun, kids. It turns out it’s actually bad for you. More Blues rehab talk because with no Gaines, Jeff gets to be Hockey Guy all morning. Don Cherry was at Wrigley. Friday Night Live was awesome. Gaines is here just in time to talk to Hockey Bob, and isn’t he a delight.
