Today's show breaks down LeBron James' shock move to Philadelphia from every angle, featuring reactions from Stephen A. Smith, Charles Barkley, Dwyane Wade, and Aaron Boone. In baseball, we tackle the Mets' brutal season, Carlos Beltran's Hall of Fame induction speech, and health updates on Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger. Plus, we dive into Boomer's bizarre sunscreen habits, delayed news on Tony Romo and Kyle Shanahan, a wild caller story about a murderer, and an embarrassing birthday surprise for Rami.

We start with Gio admitting it throws him off that Aaron Boone and Jalen Brunson are Philly sports fans, especially with Boone cheering LeBron's move to the Sixers despite acknowledging the Knicks as champs. Next, Gio wonders if LeBron has any NBA enemies, while Boomer notes today's rivalries lack intensity. Jerry's final update detours to Lake Titicaca before delivering Aaron Judge's health update, Cody Bellinger heading to the IL, and Freddy Peralta admitting he let the team down. Finally, we hit the Moment of the Day before closing out with an embarrassing call from Rami's parents wishing him a happy birthday.

Gio said it throws him off that Aaron Boone and Jalen Brunson are Philadelphia sports fans. Boone was excited to hear LeBron was going to the Sixers, even though he acknowledged the Knicks are champs.

Gio and Jerry start by pondering potential Mets trade deadline sales, Aaron Boone's wishlist, and the expectation that Aaron Judge won't return this season, before Gio warns of a pending anti-Pete Alonso hit piece. Next, C-Lo brings an update starring Evan & Tiki's "how about that" montage, triggering memories of classic voice-changer slip-ups and Gio's early producer work.

Could the Yankees win a World Series without Aaron Judge, and how would that reshape his legacy? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether Judge would still be remembered as a champion, how Yankees fans might react, and why baseball history often blurs the details of who actually contributed to a title run. The conversation also turns to Max Fried's return, the value of using recovering starters in bullpen games, and the Yankees roster decisions surrounding his activation. Plus, the debut of the Tiki Time Machine revisits the reaction to Aaron Boone's hiring and asks whether replacing Joe Girardi was ultimately the right move.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber launch the Tiki Time Machine by revisiting how WFAN hosts reacted when the Yankees hired Aaron Boone in 2017. Old takes from Jerry Recco, Boomer Esiason, Mike Francesa, Evan, and Joe Benigno reveal plenty of skepticism about handing the job to a manager with no coaching experience. The conversation turns to whether replacing Joe Girardi was ultimately the right decision and why the answer remains complicated nearly a decade later. Evan and Tiki also look back at past WFAN lineups, debate John Harbaugh's playoff record, and prepare for Max Fried's return to the Yankees.

A caller is ready to drive Jazz Chisholm to the airport for Luis Arraez, but Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash strongly reject the idea of subtracting a dangerous bat during a playoff push. Even with his flaws, Jazz gives the Yankees power, athleticism and late-game upside that would be difficult to replace. The debate then shifts to shortstop, where Jose Caballero's energy and disciplined approach continue to separate him from Anthony Volpe. Caballero has already received most of the recent starts at short, but the hosts question whether Aaron Boone should make the change permanent and how Ryan McMahon factors into the best defensive alignment.

Freddy Peralta's miserable return to Milwaukee leaves Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash stunned by his postgame admission that he does not know what is wrong. After another rough outing, the hosts argue that David Stearns cannot be protected by the idea that nobody could have predicted the deal failing. He gets credit when moves work, and he deserves the blame when they become disasters. The conversation also shifts to the Cowboys, where Evan makes an early declaration that Dallas will win the NFC East if its rebuilt defense can become merely respectable. Plus, the return of the offseason game “New Team, Who Dis” produces an immediate miss, and Aaron Boone's vague update on Giancarlo Stanton creates even more uncertainty for the Yankees.

Carlos Beltran confirmed the Mets approached him about managing, and Evan Roberts believes his answer revealed something much bigger. Evan predicts Beltran will manage a New York team next season, warning Mets fans that the Yankees remain a legitimate threat if Brian Cashman moves on from Aaron Boone. Tiki Barber hears more hesitation, arguing Beltran may prefer his comfortable advisory role over the risks of managing. Evan also blasts the Mets for firing Beltran after the Astros scandal and explains why the unfinished business still matters. Plus, the crew debates LeBron James' most entertaining destination, reacts to ESPN and NFL Network layoffs, examines whether Aaron Judge truly provides lineup protection for Cody Bellinger, and reaches a breaking point with the Mets, wildfire smoke and an overused wrestling gimmick.

Carlos Beltran confirmed the Mets approached him about managing, but his answer convinced Evan Roberts that he is waiting for the right New York opportunity. Evan predicts Beltran will manage either the Mets or Yankees next season, while Tiki Barber believes Beltran may be too comfortable in his advisory role to take the risk. The debate turns to Aaron Boone's future, the Yankees' past interest in Beltran and the unfinished business surrounding the Mets firing him after the Astros scandal. Evan also argues that Beltran's availability could push Brian Cashman toward a managerial change, while the crew examines whether lineup protection can actually be measured through the pitches Cody Bellinger sees without Aaron Judge.

Chris McMonigle dives into a frustrating series against the Dodgers, breaking down the atrocious state of the Yankees' offense, expressing major concerns over a disappointing injury update on Aaron Judge and the severe struggles of Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm, and Anthony Volpe. Looking ahead to the trade deadline, Chris insists the front office must prioritize a new starting shortstop and outlines his ultimate wish list, including Rafael Devers and Mason Miller. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 00:40 - The Elephant in the Room: The Yankees' offense is absolutely awful right now. 3:00 - A deep dive into the offensive black hole at the bottom of the lineup. Chris highlights the struggles of Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm, noting that a starting infield with only one above-average hitter is unacceptable. 10:40 - The Aaron Judge Update: Chris expresses his disappointment over the latest medical update on Aaron Judge, noting that going from "sharp pain" to "dull pain" in six weeks without resuming baseball activities is a massive concern. 15:45 - Game 1 Recap & Gerrit Cole: Despite the offense only scraping together one run on an error and a wild pitch, Gerrit Cole provided a major bright spot with swing-and-miss stuff after some rough outings of late. 23:45 - Defending Boone & Grisham: Chris pushes back against fans criticizing manager Aaron Boone for leaving Cole in too long. He also defends Trent Grisham getting thrown out at the plate, attributing it to a bad base-running read rather than a lack of hustle. 43:00 - Game 3 Bullpen Heroics: A breakdown of the much-needed series finale victory, but Chris had to vent about a frustrating fifth-inning bases-loaded jam. 59:00 - Trade Deadline Wishlist: Chris demands that Brian Cashman prioritize a new shortstop. He also tosses out bold trade targets to save the season, including Rafael Devers, Luis Arraez, and Mason Miller. 1:09:20 - Shill or Shame: Reliever David Bednar earns the "Shill" for his shutdown performance out of the bullpen, while the recently demoted Jake Bird gets handed the "Shame." 1:14:00 - Silver Linings in the Standings: Despite the offensive woes and losing the series, Chris notes that the Yankees actually gained a game and a half on the slumping Tampa Bay Rays, keeping their division title hopes very much alive.

Ben Maller talks about Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman should feel about the state of the Yankees after losing the series to the Dodgers, the Mets getting dinged for using AI for pitch calling, Bo Bichette giving a murky answer when asked about waiving his no-trade clause, Insta-Advice Line, and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SHOW OPEN. Danielle wants everyone to pump their brakes and explains why the weekend series in the Bronx with the Yankees and Dodgers is just another series in July

Aaron Boone's decision to bring Nestor Cortes into Game 1 of the World Series lands among the most disastrous coaching calls in sports history. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as the show ranks infamous mistakes involving Marshawn Lynch, Pedro Martinez, Bill Buckner and the Giants' third-and-nine quarterback sneak. Shaun also explains why Joe Torre leaving Joba Chamberlain on the mound during Cleveland's bug swarm still infuriates him. The debate shifts to soccer, where Shaun argues that stoppage time's mysterious clock is unnecessary and impossible to trust, while Tiki defends the drama and tension it creates. They also discuss soccer's growing appeal, the importance of midfield play and whether elite NFL safeties deserve to be valued like other premium positions.

Hour 5: Tommy answers some questions and gives his thoughts on Cody Bellinger being named All-Star MVP. He then floats an idea to Rosenberg about who the next Manager of the Yankees should be.

C-Lo starts with the sounds of Rickie Ricardo saying it smells like another Yankees victory. Aaron Boone talked about going into the break with 4 straight wins. We heard the sounds of the Mets losing in extra innings when they had a 2-0 lead in the ninth. We heard Rory yell, ‘oh my God, I'm so bad at golf' after one of his shots this weekend.

Jerry starts by asking John Franco about the toughest hitters he faced and the team's best fighters, before shifting to Conor McGregor's brief fight and the money people wasted on it. Next, the room discusses events that were a complete waste of cash, highlighting Al's 1992 Jets/Colts game. Then, C-Lo updates us with the sounds of another Yankees victory, Aaron Boone discussing four straight wins heading into the break, and the Mets losing in extra innings after holding a 2-0 lead in the ninth. Finally, we hear Rory yelling about being bad at golf before Jerry quizzes Al on 1980s Reds players.

Hour 3. Positive Tommy tells us why all Cashman has to do is fill needs at the deadline in order to get the Yankees October ready

HOUR 1. Tommy explains why the Yankees are in great shape shape despite this bad stretch and will make the Fall Classic once they get healthy.

The Yankees salvaged a series split in Tampa thanks to the bats finally coming alive, scoring more than five runs in a game for the first time in their last 20 games. Chris McMonigle reacts to the offensive breakout, from Ben Rice continuing his strong series to the huge third inning against Drew Rasmussen. Can this kind of game carry over and carry the Yanks out of their swoon, and did they keep their AL East chances alive by taking two of four games? C-Mac dives into all the relevant topics heading into the team's final series before the All-Star break! Plus, reaction to Brian Cashman speaking to the media and revealing the discouraging Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton updates, what he thinks of the latest summer swoon, and how he still believes in Aaron Boone. Chris wonders, given the outlook for Stanton, should the Yanks look into trading for Rafael Devers to be their DH??

Chris McMonigle takes calls from frustrated Yankees fans demanding accountability, but pushes back on the idea that firing Boone magically fixes the team's annual midseason "death spiral." Is the problem the manager, Brian Cashman, the roster construction, or something deeper within the organization?

The Yankees are doing it AGAIN... and Chris McMonigle wants answers. Chris breaks down the Yankees' frustrating yearly "death spiral," questioning why one of baseball's best teams suddenly forgets how to hit, field, and win for weeks at a time. Is it Aaron Boone? The roster construction? Brian Cashman? Or something bigger? Plus, Chris reacts to concerns about Aaron Judge's injury timeline, explains why he doesn't believe the Yankees are hiding the truth, and takes calls from fans debating what's really behind another brutal midseason collapse.

The Yankees offense has reached a historic low, but finding a solution is far more complicated than identifying the problem. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether Cody Bellinger deserves the most blame, how much Aaron Judge's absence has damaged the lineup and whether Aaron Boone can do anything to create urgency before the season slips away. The guys pull a new Yankees lineup out of a hat, examine Paul Goldschmidt's decline and weigh the latest Anthony Volpe controversy. They also enter the Mets alternate universe, revisiting the decisions involving Zack Wheeler, Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo, while rejecting a wild proposal to send Francisco Lindor across town.

The Yankees remain stuck in an offensive collapse, leaving Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber to debate whether Aaron Boone should make a drastic lineup change, whether Cody Bellinger can recover, and why selling at the deadline would still be a mistake in a vulnerable American League. The conversation also turns to the Mets and the painful alternate realities surrounding their lost season. From the failed Luis Robert Jr. gamble and Francisco Lindor trade speculation to the lasting regret of letting Zack Wheeler leave for Philadelphia, the frustration surrounding both New York teams continues to grow.

We open with the low pressure facing the young Mets players on a struggling team, followed by Boomer's desire for a documentary on rookie Matt Seelinger. Next, C-Lo brings updates from the Mets' 6-2 win over the Royals, and Andy Green discusses Ewing's evolution. Then, we break down the Yankees' shutout loss to the Rays—complete with a failed safety squeeze and Aaron Boone getting tossed—before wrapping up the hour with a look at MLB players who actually play every day.

Jerry fills in for Gio alongside Boomer today as they break down the Yankees' shutout loss to the Rays, Aaron Boone getting tossed, and the low-pressure development of the young Mets. C-Lo brings updates from the Mets' victory over the Royals, leading into a look at NFL Super Bowl favorites, Geno Smith's speeding news, and Jerry's NFC East predictions. After tracking near-no-hitters from Dylan Cease and Jared Jones, the guys debate Johan Santana's legacy, revisit a classic Mike Francesa clip, and hit the Moment of the Day before Yousef joins the show to preview the Morocco-France World Cup matchup.

Jerry is in for Gio with Boomer today, opening with the Yankees' shutout loss to the Rays, Paul Goldschmidt going 0-for-34, and a night of 11 strikeouts instead of 17. Aaron Boone got tossed—a move Boomer thinks was meant to wake up his listless team—before C-Lo takes over for his first update, starting with the sound of Brett Baty's two-run single and Andy Green discussing Christian Scott's five solid innings. Finally, after hearing the Yankees strike out three times in their loss, Jerry wraps up the hour with headlines about Boomer not liking Trump getting involved in the World Cup red card situation.

C-Lo's back with sounds of the Mets beating the Royals, 6-2. Andy Green talked about Ewing's evolution. The Yankees were shutout by the Rays and failed on a suicide squeeze (it was actually a safety squeeze). Aaron Boone got tossed in this game.

We opened with the Yankees shutout loss to the Rays and all the bad things about that game. Paul Goldschmidt is now 0 for his last 34. Aaron Boone got tossed last night and Boomer thinks he's trying to wake up his listless team.

Cost: Carson Williams and pieces.Hunter Goodman (Rockies) as a power catcher whose away numbers are actually better than his Coors numbers. Could be the playoff bat they lack.Freddy Peralta (Mets) as a reclamation starter who needs a change of scenery and would benefit from Kyle Snyder's coaching.Drew Anderson (Tigers) as a multi-inning reliever with swing-and-miss stuff, built for October.Playoff-Ready Depth at AAAThe Rays have assembled a rare Triple-A roster of MLB-tested veterans: Gavin Lux, Carson Williams, Jake Fraley, Jake Cave, Jacob Melton, Nick Madrigal, Homer Bush Jr., Oliver Dunn, and Austin Slater.

We start with a caller suspecting Aaron Judge has a hidden season-ending injury, a tip on an NYC Norwegian bar for the World Cup, and a potential MLB lockout. Next, C-Lo's final update brings us Aaron Boone's Yankees All-Stars announcement and a pissed-off Zack Wheeler. Then, Charles Barkley calls a Jaylen Brown to the Sixers rumor a fake story and discusses declining a Taylor Swift wedding invite, followed by a caller saying Cody Bellinger always looks high. Finally, the Moment of the Day asks if you forgot what it's like to like women, before we close with a look at how nobody knows anyone's phone number anymore.

C-Lo's final update of the day has Aaron Boone announcing the Yankees All-Stars. Also, Zack Wheeler not happy to be left off the All-Star roster, saying, ‘It pisses me off'. Charles Barkley talked about Jaylen Brown to the Sixers, which he thought was a fake story. He also talked about declining the invite to the Taylor Swift wedding. A caller said Cody Bellinger always looks high. The Moment of The Day: Did you forget what it's like to like women?

Could tension between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto be affecting the Mets, or is their relationship being overanalyzed? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber examine how the arrival of Soto may have changed the clubhouse dynamic, whether Lindor should remain part of the Mets' future, and why trading a star shortstop is easier to suggest than execute. The conversation also turns to the Yankees' flaws, Aaron Boone's continued faith in Anthony Volpe, and whether New York is still the best team in a weak American League. Plus, Evan and Tiki react to Sean Payton's remarkable idea involving Bill Belichick, debate the appeal of European soccer, and explore how a potential MLB lockout could reshape free agency.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber turn their attention to a Yankees team that suddenly looks vulnerable in all the wrong places. What was once the club's biggest strength, the starting rotation, now feels shaky with Carlos Rodon hurt, Gerrit Cole still working back, Max Fried not fully settled, and depth arms being exposed. The guys debate whether the Yankees should have been more aggressive in pursuing a frontline starter, why the offense looks lost without Aaron Judge, and how Giancarlo Stanton's absence adds to the leadership void. They also dig into Aaron Boone's growing heat, his public defense of struggling players, and why a crucial Rays series could push the Yankees panic meter even higher.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the growing frustration around the Yankees, Aaron Boone's future, and whether his legacy in the Bronx will be defined more by regular season success or postseason disappointment. The conversation centers on sloppy defense, June swoons, lineup concerns, and the feeling that the Yankees may eventually need a very different voice in the dugout. They also debate the controversial red card decision involving Flo Balogun, VAR procedure, and why soccer's lack of transparency can drive American sports fans crazy. Plus, callers weigh in on World Cup officiating, stoppage time confusion, Giancarlo Stanton's absence, Anthony Volpe's struggles, Jazz Chisholm's disappointing season, and whether the Yankees are missing urgency as much as production.

The Yankees take center stage as Evan and Tiki break down a team suddenly leaking from every direction. With Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton out, Carlos Rodon injured, the rotation looking vulnerable, and Aaron Boone facing growing criticism, the guys debate how much panic is fair and why the upcoming Rays series could shape the American League East race.

C-Lo's got some quotes from Aaron Boone about the slumping Yanks. Boomer takes potshots at the intern. And we end with Moment of the Day.

Is the heat turning up on Aaron Boone? Evan and Morash give their take on just how much at risk Boone is to lose his job. Plus, Craig and Chris sound off on the team seemingly hitting rock bottom, Morash is officially hitting the panic button on the season, and Tommy Lugauer says the team's wave of injuries has seemingly caught up to them.
