Joe Passarelli (@JoePa_WEEI) in for Jon Meterperal (@meatstweets) and Coach Tim Welsh (@timwelsh5) take your calls texts and tweets live on the air. We discuss Brandon Aiyuk snubbing the Patriots and Drake Maye’s lack of playing time in the first preseason game.

Jon Meterperal (@meatstweets) and Coach Tim Welsh (@timwelsh5) kick off this week’s show with Joe Passarelli (@JoePa_WEEI) filling in for Meter. We discuss team’s USA’s gold medal win yesterday and Jayson Tatum’s Olympic experience.

The 5th Annual Calling All Veterans Day is coming to the Seabee Museum and Memorial Park, home of the most unique logo and location marker, a battle-ready bee! Deb Burton, Executive Director of RI Elder Info stops by to provide the details. This annual community outdoor event (August 17th,10am-2pm) is an "opportunity to receive free information on resources and benefits for Veterans of all eras, their spouses, or their aging loved ones.  Benefit providers as well as organizations that provide fun activities that promote a sense of connection and holistic health will be onsite. The event is free and open to Veterans of all eras, their family and the community". RI Senators Reed and Whitehouse along with RI Congressmen Magaziner and Amo will be in attendance to offer remarks and support in addition to other dignitaries. Listen as Deb answers the question "what is an ombudsman?". She also discusses "the forgotten middle", those veterans on the threshold of income, either too high to qualify for state and federally provided services or inadequate to retain those much needed services on their own. In addition to helping veterans, RI Elder Info also provides seniors, caregivers and professionals with a resource to guide them through the aging process. 

 Ben Kichen and Tucker Silva (@TuckSilva) wrap up this week’s show with another red-hot edition of rapid-fire producer questions staring Devin Taleghani (@devtheradioman) and Joe Passarelli (@JoePa_WEEI).  

Ben Kichen and Tucker Silva (@TuckSilva) discuss the Patriots potential record with Devin.

Ben Kichen and Tucker Silva (@TuckSilva) start the second hour of the show discussing how Team USA has been a rollercoaster of a ride, Kerr isn’t playing Tatum, Tatum is one of your best players, Steve Kerr is looking like a complete tool, don’t need all these talented players to beat Serbia, Tatum in Tokyo was your best player, how is Anthony Edwards is getting more minutes than Tatum,

Ben Kichen and Tucker Silva (@TuckSilva) discuss Brandon Auyik won’t be a new England Patriot, the Patriots were going to pay Brandon 32 million, it’s a bad look for the organization from Brandon that the team accepts a trade but the player says no, Brandon Aiyuk wanted to get paid more, itll be crazy if Aiyuk doesn’t sign back with the 49ers, Brandon Aiyuk has played this right, it would really hurt to not sign back one of your top player at receiver, not acquiring Aiyuk is a win for the Patriots this season,

Ben Kichen and Tucker Silva (@TuckSilva) take your calls texts and tweets live on the air. Was the Zappe experience good for Baker and Polk, Zappe is not the answer for the Patriots going forward, Brissett isn’t that good, they are treating him like Aaron Rodgers and C.J. Strout, like to see drake Maye play a quarter, want to see how Maye responds to a bad series, if Maye won’t play for a month once the season starts that aint good, the quarterbacks need more like Brisset and Maye, barely playing Zappe against the Eagles, don’t need Zappe in a good preseason game, the Patriots have a lot of work to do coming in the next month, Zappe could be option number two for qb,

Ben Kichen and Tucker Silva (@TuckSilva) kick off this week’s show upset that Drake Maye got one drive the whole game, Drake maye could be a future backup, Frustrated by the Patriots situation by playing Maye once, Zappe is a future cut piece, could zappe go to the cardinals or Broncos once cut, can Drake Maye get rolling soon, thought that Maye could be starting week one, Milton had an amazing game in the second half, Joe Milton made the decision a lot easier to cut Zappe,

Scott Cordischi (@ScottCordischi) and (abc 6) Nick Coit (@NCoitABC6) wrap up this week’s show with producer Joe Passarelli’s (@JoePa_WEEI) question of the week. This week Joe wants to know what future locations would be cool to see host the Olympics.
