Across four packed hours, Boomer and Gio react to ESPN layoffs, Carlos Beltrán's managerial itch, and Freddy Peralta's baffling slump, all while debating pointless couples dinners and golfing in severe storms. Between Jerry's updates, the crew envisions a Boomer yard sale, revisits wild throwback TV feuds, and uncovers a hilarious text mix-up to cap off the morning.

Gio opens with a rough night for David Stearns as Freddy Peralta flopped in Milwaukee, while Boomer thinks the Mets should trade an unhappy Francisco Lindor. Jerry drops his first update on Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s two homers in a Yankees win over the Pirates, a tame benches-clearing incident, and Jazz's supreme confidence. With local storms approaching, Gio admits he wants to see a tornado, prompting a chat on golfing in severe weather, followed by Peralta's confusion over his season-long struggles. Meanwhile, Rich Paul says LeBron James won't rush his decision, though Gio predicts a Miami move for year-round golf, and the hour wraps with a wild 2001 Good Day New York clip featuring a heated on-air feud.

Carlos Beltrán discussed managing the Mets on a conference call. It's on his bucket list. The Red Sox won their 14th straight game. Aaron Rodgers posted pictures with his estranged family members but still nothing of his wife. Also, Gio wonders about what Boomer's yard sale would be like.

Gio loves that Tiki Barber compared someone trying to watch soccer being lost because they don't understand it to someone trying to understand the “Dune” movie franchise. Also, Gio turned down an opportunity to interview the cast of “The Hawk” but Shaun Morash took it and ran with it.

Gio explains that the men only talk to the other men while the women only talk to the other women.

Drew Brees joins us in studio to begin the hour. He discusses what it was like playing in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Brees recalls the end of his time with the Chargers and how he ended up with the Saints instead of the Dolphins.

Boomer and Gio kick off another summer week tackling a dud World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium where Boomer napped and missed nothing. Gio has no sympathy for Lionel Messi, everyone hates Argentina's fans, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic delivered a blunt, final TV appearance. Jerry's first update highlights Spain's World Cup win over Argentina and Craig Burley ripping how they played, before transitioning to baseball where the Yankees split a doubleheader with the Dodgers behind a Jazz Chisholm Jr. home run, the Mets took two of three from the Phillies with a big game from Francisco Lindor, and the Red Sox won their 13th straight. Meanwhile, Ryan Fox won the British Open and Rory McIlroy called out Bryson DeChambeau. Finally, the guys debate a caller's take on whether the soccer final needed scoring or action.

Gio breaks down Bryson DeChambeau's penalty, calling it an attempt to gain an advantage rather than blatant cheating. Next, Jerry's update highlights Ferran Torres' lone World Cup final goal, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's blunt farewell to TV, Peter Schwartz's indoor football call, and Rex Ryan being awestruck by Ella Langley. In baseball action, David Bednar escaped a jam to help the Yankees top the Dodgers despite Cam Schlittler's struggles, while Francisco Lindor powered the Mets past the Phillies, crediting Bo Bichette's preceding 11-pitch at-bat. Finally, Ryan Fox clinches the British Open amidst "Baba Booey" cheers, Jordan Clarkson de-escalates a nightclub situation to show why the Knicks wanted him back, and Boomer defends Anthony Volpe from a frustrated caller.

Finally, a caller brings up a hothead golfer who was once fined for farting, prompting Gio to claim that Boomer doesn't always own his own.

Gio shares a list of 1998's highest-earning celebrities for Boomer to guess, right before Boomer recounts a video of himself dancing to the Spice Girls. Next, Jerry's final update arrives after a quick discussion about Gio's plans for his mom's 80th birthday. In baseball, Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s home run helps the Yankees salvage a game against the Dodgers, and Francisco Lindor powers the Mets past the Phillies—sparking Boomer's memory from a postgame comment—before a funky outfield sunglasses play occurs and Mets fans blast Tommy Lugauer on Twitter. Then, analysts slam Argentina's World Cup Final performance, and the Moment of the Day recaps the final's sights and sounds involving Dua Lipa and Gerrit Cole. Finally, Gio delivers more thoughts on the 1998 list, a caller shares a Tommy Bolt story that Boomer vaguely remembers, and a final caller wraps things up with Mets positivity.

Boomer wants to know what Cam Skattebo was thinking when he attempted a backflip this weekend and wonders how long he'll be able to stay in the NFL considering his style of play. We talk about old singers who still perform. Nobody remembers the date of Boomer's Radio Hall of Fame induction ceremony coming up this fall. Jerry has an international call of the lone goal in the World Cup Final. Analysts were not happy with the game they watched and don't think it showcased the best of the sport. One announcer was excited to see Dua Lipa at the match. Gio was hoping Dua Lipa was part of the halftime show but we got the Muppets instead.

Gio thinks Tom Brady has jumped the shark and finds a lot of his antics to be goofy and corny.

Jerry starts with the only goal from the World Cup final. Ferran Torres, who scored the goal, is a good-looking young man. Zlatan Ibrahimovic said this is it for him on TV. Gio loved how blunt Ibrahimovic was. Jerry has a clip of Peter Schwartz calling an indoor football TD. David Bednar came into a jam and got out of it before pitching another inning to help the Yankees top the Dodgers. Francisco Lindor had three hits including a homerun in the Mets win over the Phillies. Ryan Fox sank the winning putt of the British open while fans screamed “Baba Booey” behind him.

Boomer is out, so Gio and Jerry are in today, starting with a Mets win over the Phillies that Gio claims means nothing. They dive into a looming next-season lockout, the HR Derby's 20-year ratings low on Netflix, and Fox's claims of high All-Star viewership that Gio just doesn't buy. C-Lo handles the updates with Alvarez's homers as the Mets open for business, followed by Eagles fan Jalen Brunson getting a Giants helmet, and LeBron staying quiet on his future at Fanatics-Fest. To wrap things up, a Senate candidate looks just like Meatloaf, and Jerry wonders if Rosie O'Donnell knows she looks like Mike Francesa.

We quizzed AL to see how many Miami Heat players he could name from their history. Joe Flacco talked about his trophies and how he thought he would care about them but he doesn't. The Moment of The Day: All the construction noise in the studio.

Gio said his wife cannot make a decision on going to the beach or not because of the smokey/hazy weather. We talked about women not being able to make a decision and then stick to that decision. This is clearly our Catskills humor segment.

We heard C-Mac vs Brett in Long Island. Eli Manning has a new series, ‘Eli At The Movies' and watched Jerry Maguire with Marshawn Lynch.
