We take a sidestep from the usual stuff by wondering whether dogs know their owners and whether they can know the passing of time.

Jerry returns for an update, but first we talked about the bathroom situation here at the radio station with construction going on. We heard from Jazz Chisholm after the game on his prediction of a 50/50 season. We also went through all the Yankees injuries. Jefry Yan jumped thinking he had a strikeout, but it was a ball, and then he gave up a HR.

Jerry's here and we give you his whole first sportscast. He's got Geno Smith on how things went on their first scoring drive. Deshaun Watson on getting booed at home. Dave Sims on the call as Ben Rice had a 2-run single. Jazz homered and we heard from him after the game. The Mets lost to the White Sox on a walk off HR.

The guys are back in the house and start with the Jets game and how Geno looked like his best self out there. We have some hope. Plus, Gio has no hope for Deshaun Watson in Cleveland who is simply hated by the fanbase.
