Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey discuss the Trump administration’s latest boundary-pushing moves, from renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America” to the “Big Beautiful Ballroom,” and ask a bigger question: who actually steps in when the government goes too far? Plus, MapQuest unexpectedly becomes the lone holdout.

Later, George Santos gets banned from Kalshi for betting on his own behavior, prompting a conversation about prediction markets, insider trading, and whether easy access to gambling is helping kill the appeal of Las Vegas. The second hour turns to back-to-school season, empty nests, and the legal documents families should consider once their children turn 18.

Shea Norling sits in for Carmen alongside Jurko as Tom Thayer joins to react to Ryan Poles’ unusually honest comments about Kyler Gordon’s rehab. Thayer explains why the Bears’ locker room will know whether a player is giving everything to get back, and he also breaks down the revamped defensive line, Gervon Dexter trade and nickel corner options. Shea and Jurko continue the Kyler Gordon conversation by asking if he is on “Derrick Rose Protocol” and whether the Bears can count on him at all this season. The Brunch Rush hits the Red Sox radio team ripping Jazz Chisholm, ESPN’s top 100 NFL players, Tommy Pham returning to the White Sox, Lori Loughlin returning to Instagram and Kyle Tucker’s fall-off with the Dodgers. The show wraps with Shea’s 10 p.m. softball complaint.

Inter Miami pasó de cinco partidos sin ganar a conseguir la mayor goleada de su historia. ¿Qué cambió realmente?

Después del espectacular 7-1 ante CF Montréal, con cuatro goles de Lionel Messi, las Garzas se preparan para comenzar una nueva etapa con Cristian “Kily” González, quien asumirá oficialmente como entrenador una vez que reciba sus permisos de trabajo.

En Comunidad Deportiva debatimos si la crisis del Inter era futbolística o principalmente anímica, qué decisiones del último partido deberían mantenerse y cuánto debería modificar el nuevo entrenador después de una actuación prácticamente perfecta.

¿Casemiro debe continuar como central? ¿Noah Allen se ganó el lateral? ¿Qué pasa con Berterame? ¿Y cómo puede adaptar el Kily su estilo intenso y de presión alta a un plantel liderado por Lionel Messi?

Además, empezamos a mirar el próximo desafío de las Garzas: Atlanta United, este sábado en Nu Stadium.

¿Inter Miami necesitaba realmente cambiar de entrenador?

Shea Norling sits in for Carmen alongside Jurko as the hour opens with Big Rig Ron backing Shea after the earlier PCA debate. The List of Lists lands on Centers, leading to picks like Shaquille O’Neal, Jonathan Toews, the United Center, center field, Cinnabon centers and the center of a Tootsie Pop. The guys also take listener calls on Oreo centers, the Playboy centerfold, shopping centers and plenty of other creative center picks. Ryan Poles then meets the media at Halas Hall and addresses the Bears’ roster, including the Gervon Dexter trade, Kiran Amegadjie being waived, Ozzy Trapilo’s progress and the team’s defensive line depth. The hour closes with Shea and Jurko reacting to Poles’ unusually direct comments about Kyler Gordon’s rehab and the uncertainty around when, or if, he will play for the Bears this season.

Shea Norling sits in for Carmen alongside Jurko as the guys react to the Cubs crushing the Brewers 17-3 behind a nine-homer night at Wrigley Field. Jack McGrath believes the Cubs still have a chance to make the NL Central race interesting, but Shea and Jurko are more focused on whether Chicago can build momentum for October. The guys take calls on the division race, the Cubs’ postseason path and whether Milwaukee should have been able to save its bullpen by using a position player in a blowout. They also revisit Shea’s old PCA/Javy Báez comparison as Pete Crow-Armstrong continues one of the best individual seasons in recent Chicago sports history. The hour closes with Jurko reacting to the Bears trading Gervon Dexter and explaining why Jordan Vandenberg may be a better fit for Dennis Allen’s attacking defensive line.
