Tom Ackerman breaks down the Cardinals' recent surge, highlighting their ability to win close, back-and-forth games behind timely hitting and late-inning execution. He points to Mason Winn's breakout performance and the team's five-game winning streak that has pushed them into contention in a tightly packed NL Central. The conversation also covers broader MLB economics, including massive payroll disparities like the Mets' struggles despite record spending, deferred contracts such as Shohei Ohtani's deal and Bobby Bonilla-style payouts, and how the Dodgers' long-term player development model sets them apart. They also touch on the Padres' record sale price, the collapse of LIV Golf as a competitive product, and brief updates on Battlehawks football and NFL Draft talk.

“There are parts of the business and finance world that are invested in making these things seem intimidating and scary. We really enjoy making things more approachable.” — Alex MayyasiWhat's the last taboo? The thing that we are totally embarrassed to discuss? No, not sex. It's money. At least according to Alex Mayyasi — frequent contributor to NPR's Planet Money — who has just published Planet Money: How to Live Richer, Spend Smarter, and Afford the Life You Want, a field guide to the big economic forces that shape our working, saving, loving and leisure lives.Mayyasi argues that money is the last taboo. We talk openly (perhaps too openly) about our sex lives now. But we still don't talk about our money lives — not with spouses, not with parents, not with our children. Companies that have tried full salary transparency report uncomfortable conversations about race and gender. Thus the need for Mayyasi's new book. It's not exactly porn, but Planet Money is designed to liberate us from our last taboo. Five Takeaways• The Economy Was Invented During the Great Depression: If you asked someone a hundred years ago how the economy was doing, you'd get a strange look back. The concept didn't exist. It was the Depression that forced the question — because Roosevelt and his advisers had no way of knowing whether the New Deal was working. An economist was tasked with the Don Quixote-like job of counting every transaction in America to produce a single number: GDP. We have lived inside that number ever since.• Money Is More Embarrassing Than Sex: We talk freely about sex now. We still don't talk about money — not with spouses, not with parents, not with children. Mayyasi advocates for salary transparency, even though companies that have tried it report uncomfortable conversations about race and gender pay gaps. The discomfort is the point. Maybe we need a Freud of finance to liberate us from the last taboo.• Financial Time Travel: Markets give us the ability to move money through time — into the future through saving, or from the future to the present through borrowing. Student loans are the most relatable form: young people pulling their future income backwards to fund the human capital they need to earn it. Consumption smoothing across the life cycle is a perfectly valid use of debt, as long as you don't assume the future will be richer than it actually turns out to be.• Productive Risk Versus Nihilistic Gambling: The GameStop ride looks quaint compared to today's parlay bets on whether a certain word will appear in the State of the Union. Higher risk, higher reward is a continuum, and savvy careers are built on calculated risks. But there is a difference between productive risk — the kind that builds businesses and careers — and the nihilistic flip of a coin. Knowing the difference is half of financial literacy.• Bobby Bonilla and the Magic of Compound Interest: Bonilla agreed to defer his $6 million Mets salary for decades. Every year, the Mets still send him a cheque for over $1 million, which drives Mets fans insane. It looks bone-headed, but it is exactly how every successful retirement plan works: give up consumption now, let compound interest do its work, enjoy something like $30 million in the future. Bonilla was savvier than his critics. We can all learn from him. About the GuestAlex Mayyasi is a writer and frequent contributor to NPR's Planet Money.

In this edition of Cinco de Luncho with Shaun Morash, the crew dives into one of the most entertaining thought experiments in New York sports: the most surprising athlete returns to local teams. From unforgettable breakups to shocking reunions, the list sparks debate about which comebacks truly stunned fans across the city. The conversation runs through names like Mark Messier, Bobby Bonilla, Javier Vázquez, and Geno Smith before expanding into modern hypotheticals. Could Saquon Barkley ever return to the Giants? Would Juan Soto going back to the Yankees be shocking? And which fan base would react the loudest if a former star suddenly came back? It's a classic Cinco countdown packed with nostalgia, arguments, and plenty of New York sports drama.

Jeff Kent sits down with Jay Horwitz for an honest, funny and emotional conversation about his entire baseball journey – from chaotic days with the early-90s Mets to becoming an MVP with the Giants. Kent opens up about playing on “the worst team money could buy,” his memories of Bobby Bonilla and the New York media, getting traded for David Cone, and how his career took off once he landed in San Francisco. He also gives a rare inside look at Barry Bonds as a teammate, why they butted heads, and what he really thinks about Bonds and the Hall of Fame. Jeff and Jay revisit the 2000 Mets–Giants NLDS, Bobby Jones' one-hit shutout, and what it was like playing at Shea Stadium in October. Kent also shares personal stories: losing a family dog during a season in New York, giving back to women's sports at Cal, watching his son Caden play in the Yankees system, and running a working Wagyu ranch in Texas. If you love 90s and 2000s baseball, Mets history, or just great storytelling, this is an Amazin' conversation you don't want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The R&I guys are back! Host First Officer Ryan Argenta sits down with Captain Scott Bowles and Captain John Doherty from ALPA's Retirement & Insurance Committee to talk smart money, savvy timing, and how pilots can make major-league financial plays through the new Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation (NQDC) plan.

Episode 486: It Could Use More Snot This week Host Dave Bledsoe proffered a Mickey Mantle rookie card in exchange for the clearance of his bar tab despite the fact that it was clearly printed on cardstock by an inkjet low on cyan. (They forced him to eat it before they tossed him out.) On the show this week we examine the disgusting kids collectible that swept the nation in the mid 1980's (It was like pervy Pokemon!) Along the way we discover that Dave had no friends as a kid. (Just like now!) Then we dive in collectible cards and where they came from. (Smarmy nobles and cigarettes.) Then we opened up a pack of Topps Bubble Gum to see what we got. (Dammit it's Bobby Bonilla!) We discuss how Topps branched out in the parody “novelty” card market with some clever takes on capitalism and that morphed into a disgusting parody of the most popular toy of the early 80's: The Garbage Pail Kids. Our Sponsor this week is Dave-O-Mon Cards, gotta drink ‘em all! We open the show with the trailer for the Garbage Pail Kids movie and close with the Donna's signing about the kids in this country.

Steve Foerster, a finance professor and investment historian, to talk his latest book, Trailblazers, Heroes and Crooks: Stories to Make You a Smarter Investor. Steve shared insights into famous financial scandals, such as Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme, the Bre-X gold mining fraud, and the Salad Oil Swindle that almost toppled American Express. He highlighted key lessons from these events, including the importance of skepticism, recognizing red flags, and understanding how fraudsters exploit exclusivity and credibility to deceive. These historical stories underscore timeless lessons in vigilance and sound investment practices. Today we discuss... Steve Foerster, professor of finance and investment historian, discussed his background and books, including Trailblazers, Heroes, and Crooks and his work on the biography of Nobel Laureate Bill Sharpe. The psychology of exclusivity and trust in Madoff's scheme, including his reputation as NASDAQ chairman. The Bre-X mining scandal of the 1990s, detailing fraudulent gold sample salting, conspiracy theories surrounding Mike De Guzman, and the challenges of evaluating mining investments. Mark Twain's observation on mining, "a hole in the ground with a liar on top," was used to underscore skepticism in speculative industries. The 1960s Salad Oil Swindle, focusing on Tino De Angelis' fraudulent practices and their near-collapse of American Express. Buffett's significant investment in American Express, based on its strong reputation despite the scandal, resulted in a two-and-a-half-fold return within 18 months. Research and perseverance can lead to great returns, as Wall Street tends to sell indiscriminately during tough times. Warren Buffett's support of management during a crisis helped American Express recover and solidify its reputation. The tension between short-term profits and long-term value was central to Buffett's approach, focusing on long-term growth. Hetty Green, a 19th-century investor, was a pioneering value investor who predicted market trends and became a major player in railroads and mortgages. During the Panic of 1907, Hetty Green predicted the failure of a major trust company and later lent to New York City, preventing bankruptcy. Bobby Bonilla's deferred payment contract with the New York Mets showcased the importance of understanding time value of money and opportunity cost. The story of Cristiano Ronaldo's snubbing of Coca-Cola at a press conference led to a $4 billion market drop, but it was actually due to the stock's ex-dividend date, not his actions. The Coca-Cola stock drop was an example of correlation not equaling causation, teaching the importance of distinguishing between the two in investing.

Tim takes us on a journey through his unique career, sharing how he went from a budding young musician to stepping into the shoes of the legendary Vince Lashide. Listen in as Tim recounts the amusing tales of life behind the scenes, including a particularly cheeky organ tune played during Bobby Bonilla's return to Pittsburgh that had the whole stadium buzzing.Take a trip down memory lane as we switch gears to the world of vinyl records and pop culture nostalgia. Growing up with a dad who was an early YouTuber in spirit, I found my passion for music in the family's rich collection of vinyl. We savor the tactile joy of spinning records and contrast it with today's digital streaming convenience. Plus, hear about the playful nod to pop culture with a humorous suggestion about being a "Swifty," and discover why "I Think I Love You" by the Partridge Family holds a special place in my heart.To wrap things up, we dive into the nostalgia of collecting, from the iconic radio stories of Casey Kasem to rare Pittsburgh edition TV Guides. Celebrate the simple joys of classic TV shows, radio jingles, and vintage board games like Stratomatic Baseball. We even share a few laughs over a mishap with a Chuck Berry concert that went hilariously off-script. This episode promises a warm, entertaining tribute to the enduring charm of sports, music, and the joy of collecting cherished memories.THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!!!www.holdmycutter.com

Hour 1 Happy 37th birthday to WFAN! The Mets dropped their series to the Astros and they have a bullpen problem right now with Edwin Diaz serving his suspension. Many teams have bullpen problems and there are only so many bullpen guys you can get at the trade deadline. We also talked about Pete Alonso. Gio doesn't think he will be traded at the deadline, but he doesn't think he will be a Met next year. Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first we talked about Akshay Bhatia choking yesterday while Gio was at his daughter's dance recital. Jerry started with the Yankees beating the Blue Jays yesterday. Judge hit his 31st HR of the season. Juan Soto hurt himself Friday night but wanted to be in the lineup on Sunday. Gerrit Cole pitched well. Wyatt Langford hit for the cycle for the Texas Rangers last night. In the final segment of the hour, there was a charity kickball game that Infinity Sports Network was involved in. Morning show producer EJ Stewart blew out his knee and had to go to the hospital. This is why Gio doesn't play sports. This is the best week of the Summer, and now EJ has a blown out knee for the rest of the Summer. Hour 2 OKC is all over Isaiah Hartenstein and will be the main competitor for the Knicks. Gio will not be mad at him for cashing in as this is probably the one time he'll be able to do so. The NBA is capping the amount of money the Knicks can pay with the early Bird rights. Boomer's son, Gunnar and his wife Darcy, had another baby, Mieke Elina Esiason. We then got back into the Hartenstein topic with the Knicks. Boomer somehow started talking about NHL free agency and Gio asked him which teams he would never want to play for. Gio wonders if Matt Martin would go to the Rangers or not. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about Copa America and I have no idea what they're talking about. Jerry starts with the Yankees beating the Blue Jays as Aaron Judge hit #31. Boomer thinks Judge will break his own record of 62 home runs in a season. We have infighting with the Cowboys as Malik Hooked took a shot at Micah Parsons for spending too much time with the podcast and not on the Cowboys. In the final segment of the hour, Gio had to go to his daughter's dance recital. Gio's life has been invaded by women now. He's married with two daughters. Hour 3 Former Knick Noah Vonleh is playing in China and is really going after the team there for not paying him his bonus or his salary. They then canceled his hotel room and he's sleeping in the lobby updating us all on Instagram. Boomer wonders if he gets put in jail in China will the politicians in the U.S. care. Gio said they would. It's also Bobby Bonilla day. He gets paid $1.1 million every July 1 from the Mets. Nowadays there are tons of deferred contracts. We talked about Boomer's love of Precious Achiuwa. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about Boomer's psychotic behavior of pouring the ketchup on his fries instead of dipping the fries in ketchup. Boomer also thinks everyone puts mayonnaise on bacon, egg and cheese. We took a bunch of calls from people who eat weird food combinations. That was Jerry's update. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry's here to do an actual update and he starts with Chris Russo having a hard time saying ‘Barack Obama'. Paul George signed with the Sixers for the max. Hour 4 We talked about NBA free agency and the NFL potentially expanding to 18 games. We also talked about the Mets and ‘OMG'. A caller wonders if Jerry will be including theTour de France in his sports updates. We also talked about Dua Lipa and Gio getting a shoutout on Peloton. Jerry returns for an update but first Boomer got a message from wrestler Mercedes Mone Varnado. Jerry has audio of Jalen Brunson at a WWE event at the Garden. Aaron Judge hit his 31st HR of the year as the Yankees beat the Blue Jays. Boomer wonders why Jerry covers the same topics in his updates. The Moment of The Day involves Eddie Scozzare's love of corn dogs. In the final segment of the show, Boomer & Gio will be golfing and filming with Barstool's Fore Play golf podcast.
