Hour 1 Jerry and CLo are hosting today as we begin the final week of summer vacations. Jerry wants to start on a positive note so he begins with the Yankees. He says this is their year. If not now, when? CLo still has to see them play well in October. Pat Boyle is doing updates for us for the first time today. He is wearing what Jerry calls a “loud” shirt. Aaron Judge hit HRs 50 and 51 yesterday. Boyle tells us that Shaun Morash shaves his own rear end in his backyard. The Mets blew a 2-0 8th inning lead. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry brings up Jordan Montgomery's bad experience as a Scott Boras client and what that could mean for Pete Alonso, who hired Boras in October and is not having a great season. Hour 2 The Mets had a real kick-in-the-groin when they lost a game they never should have lost. They blew a late lead and split with the Padres when they were close to winning the series. Pat Boyle returns for an update and Judge's power brings us to old audio of Richard Neer talking about goat testicles. Boyle makes it clear that he does not wear perfume. Juan Soto joked about his upcoming free agency. In the final segment of the hour, we talk about Aaron Judge's season and contract. Jerry and CLo go over how many streaming services they pay for. Hour 3 Awful preseason football makes us want the real thing even more. Jerry has high expectations for the Jets but CLo wants to see it before he believes it. Jerry thinks the Giants will be alive in December and CLo believes that Daniel Jones will be benched to avoid the injury guarantee in his contract. Pat Boyle returns for an update and has Aaron Judge's response to being asked if he is locked in yet. Judge is breaking records on a nightly basis. Zach Wilson made the roster in Denver. Boyle was locked into the Patriots/Commanders preseason game because he bet on it. Boyle brings us the details of an online feud between sports bettors. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry tells CLo about an upcoming documentary and we find out Zoo knows a lot of Tom Hanks's IMDB off the top of his head. Hour 4 Jerry and CLo wonder how Aaron Judge compares to Yankee legends. The subject of a previous Moment of The Day returns. Pat Boyle returns for an update but first Pat has a question for Jerry about the old WFAN newsroom atmosphere. Aaron Judge hit homers 50 and 51 yesterday. The Mets blew a game in San Diego. What's everyone's confidence level in the Mets making the playoffs? Not high at all. The Jets and Giants played a “football” game on Saturday night. Tomorrow is cutdown day across the NFL. The Moment of The Day involves Jerry asking Pat if he is wearing perfume. In the final segment of the hour, CLo watched the Apollo 13 documentary trailer and tells Jerry about visiting the house where Nicole Brown Simpson was murdered while he was on vacation with his family.

The Mets had a real kick-in-the-groin when they lost a game they never should have lost. They blew a late lead and split with the Padres when they were close to winning the series.

He tops 50 HRs for the season. How long can he keep going?

On paper, they look good to make a run.

I guess these things happen.

How he measures up against the legends.

Moment of the Day presents a little more of the discussion about Al Dukes adopting a teen.

Daniel Jones threw 2 interceptions in the preseason game against the Texans, and one of them was returned for an easy pick-6. But there were many positives from his performance as well, and Boomer was happy to see them throwing the ball downfield instead of dinking and dunking. Both Boomer and Phil Simms thought he finished the quarter really well. The Giants are favored by 1.5 right now over the Vikings for week 1. The Niners are favored by 5.5 over the Jets. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day and starts with Clay Holmes blowing his league leading 10th save of the season. In the final segment of the hour, we just got word that former talk show host Phil Donahue passed away.

The Mets lost to the Marlins yesterday, preventing the sweep. The Mets really needed a sweep there as they have the Orioles and then a West Coast trip. Gio wonders if Boomer thinks Karl Ravech's hair is real. We also talked about Aaron Rodgers playing or not in the final preseason game. Boomer thinks it's important to get in there before the Monday night game in San Francisco. But you also don't want him getting hurt in the preseason. C-Lo returns for an update, but first we talked about the John & Suzyn t-shirt the Yankees are giving away tomorrow night. C-Lo has audio of the Yankees losing to Detroit at the Little League Classic. Frank The Tank talked about the latest Mets loss. Lots of screaming and spitting. Mike Francesa checked in about the Hawk Tuah girl throwing out the first pitch for the Mets. In the final segment of the hour, we have audio of Sal Licata trying to explain Hawk Tuah girl to Joe Benigno. Joe thought she was the ‘Hot Tuna' girl.

Gio has been hearing a commercial on the overnights where they encourage you to adopt a teen. Gio thinks this would be perfect for Al. We also talked to Al about Hawk Tuah girl and the missing Malaysian Airline. C-Lo returns for an update but first we talked about Peter Schwartz doing a WWE entrance at Fanatics Fest. C-Lo starts with Clay Holmes blowing the save again as the Yankees lose to the Tigers. In the final segment of the hour, we found out that Peter Schwartz did not pay for his ticket to Fanatics Fest. Boomer also talked about Jalen Brunson vs Aaron Judge as far as ‘King of New York'.

Boomer and Gio are back this morning and we started with the Giants preseason game against the Texans. We talked specifically about Daniel Jones' performance. Boomer likes that Brian Daboll kept him in the game to make up for the two early interceptions. Boomer was generally encouraged by the way the Giants offense did throw the ball down the field. Boomer said he is feeling an edge that's coming from the Head Coach. Gio is a little worried that Daboll losing weight is going to change him as a coach. In the past, when head coaches lost weight in this town it didn't go well after. C-Lo is in for Jerry and is here for his first update but first we talked about listeners confusing Anthony Gallo with Big Zoo. C-Lo has the sounds of Clay Holmes blowing another save as the Yankees lost to the Tigers at the Little League Classic. Jerry is hosting a golf tournament later today and Boomer & Gio are playing in it. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the golf tournament Jerry is doing later today that we are playing in. Boomer wonders what Jerry will be wearing on the golf course. Boomer hopes it's his MC Hammer pants.

Yanks have a bullpen problem.

The Jets have their first preseason game this coming weekend against Washington. Jerry believes they are a Super Bowl contending team. Joe Benigno is not buying it as he's been screwed over by them too many times and he doesn't trust them. Joe has to see it, Bro. On paper they look terrific but he's been hosed too many times by the Jets. The Jets defense also doesn't create enough turnovers. Eli Manning will be eligible for the Hall of Fame and Jerry wonders how he's viewed around the country. Jerry doesn't think Eli gets in his first year. C-Lo returns for an update but first we talked about golf, cruises and air travel. DJ had a walk off single in the tenth as the Yankees beat the Blue Jays. A caller to Richard Neer kept dropping ‘Jazz Chism' references and Richard had no idea. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls on Alonso and Judge. We also got a call from a payphone in Atlantic City which was very strange.

He says it's time to put one of the premier pass-rushers in.

Callers having some fun with the venerated radio host.

He's taking a wait-and-see approach.

Joe gives Steve Cohen a letter grade and it's not a great one.

Hour 1 Boomer & Gio are out this week so today it's Jerry and Joe Benigno. Joe is not happy with the Mets performance this weekend against the Angels. Jerry said we still don't know what this Mets team is right now. Joe and Jerry both think Carlos Mendoza is doing a great job this season. We also talked about Pete Alonso's season as the Mets have to decide if he's going to be worth the money. Joe B wants Steve Cohen to sign Juan Soto. Aaron Judge was intentionally walked 4 times this weekend including 3 times yesterday. C-Lo is on updates today and he went to see Hootie & The Blowfish at PNC Arts Center. The Yankees beat the Blue Jays in 10 with a walk off hit by DJ. Jerry wonders if Boone got a call from upstairs to pull Torres from the game on Friday for not hustling. The Mets lost to the Angels and now have to go to St. Louis today for a makeup game and then to Colorado. In the final segment of the hour, Joe B has a Todd Rundgren memory about a dance club named, ‘The Marshmallow'. A caller wants Joe to give Steve Cohen a grade. He does, and it's not great.  Hour 2 The Jets have their first preseason game this coming weekend against Washington. Jerry believes they are a Super Bowl contending team. Joe Benigno is not buying it as he's been screwed over by them too many times and he doesn't trust them. Joe has to see it, Bro.

We also got a call from a payphone in Atlantic City which was very strange.  Hour 3 Jerry had a flat tire yesterday and instead of calling AAA, he changed it himself. People on Twitter criticized him for changing it himself instead of having AAA do it. Jerry changed the tire in 15 min. It would have taken forever for AAA to arrive and do it. Joe B wants Mark Gastineau in the Hall of Fame. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with Aaron Judge getting walked intentionally 4 times this weekend, including 3 times yesterday. The Mets lost a series to the Angels and have to go to St. Louis for a makeup game today before heading to Colorado. A pole vaulter in the olympics had a situation where his package hit the bar. In the final segment of the hour, Joe B tells us he was locked in the bathroom stall the last time he worked here a few months ago.  Hour 4 We talked about the Yankees and Aaron Judge. Jerry thinks he's the greatest player he ever saw play. Before Judge it was Ken Griffey Jr. Joe said Barry Bonds, but now Judge. Joe watched the Pete Rose documentary on Max. C-Lo returns for an update but first Joe told us about his 2 hip replacements and he blamed running for over 25 years. DJ had a walk off single in the 10th as the Yankees beat the Blue Jays. Jerry and Joe both have cats that wake them up in the middle of the night. The Moment of The Day involves a pole vaulter and his package. In the final segment of the show, we clean up the phone calls.

Low hanging fruit.

Both Joe & Jerry are quite taken with him.

Joe relates the harrowing tale of being stuck in a bathroom stall the last time he was here.

As we get set to turn the calendar to August, Boomer and Gio look at the Giants and Jets odds within their divisions and conferences this season. Vegas doesn't think much of the Giants chances. Then they go through what hyped up teams and QBs they believe in. Things have worked out for Jared Goff in Detroit. Jerry returns for an update but first he tells us about Joe B and JJ backing out of today's golf date with Jerry and CLo. Boomer and Gio have heard stories they can't believe about JJ's golf game. The Mets had a practical approach at the trade deadline and then beat the Twins 2-0. Jazz Chisholm led the Yankees to their fourth straight win and second over the Phillies. Chisholm loves being a Yankee. What will Aaron Boone's nickname for Chisholm be? Rickie Ricardo was fired up by some stellar, game-saving defensive plays. It doesn't sound like Zach Wilson is off to a hot start in Denver. Could this be the year it all goes south for the Cowboys? In the final segment of the hour, Gio asks if any Olympic sports could get a big bump from this summer's games. He and Boomer discuss the popularity of the Olympics.

Hour 1 Both Brian Cashman and David Stearns made small improvements on deadline day without giving much up and Gio completely supports what the GMs did. Gio expects the Yankees to win the AL East and the Mets to be the NL's top Wild Card. Gerrit Cole was scratched with “general body fatigue” but was it really a stomach virus? Jazz Chisholm Jr. continued his hot start with two more homers for the Yankees last night. Could Mark Leiter Jr. take over the closer's role from Clay Holmes, who blew another one last night? Jerry is here for his first update and begins with the Yankees win. Boomer thinks Rickie Ricardo's call of Jazz Chisholm's home run was a little much but loves the energy. Boomer says Jazz Chisholm looks like the greatest ever trade deadline addition for the Yankees. Saying “Jazz Chisholm” tripped up Justin Shackil and Chris McMonigle broke down the dilemma for broadcasters. The Mets shutout the Twins. Robert Saleh said he doesn't plan to play Aaron Rodgers in the preseason but left the door open for the final game. Sal Licata had some dots connected for him. Boomer got his guy as Precious Achiuwa is back with the Knicks. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer and Gio discuss the report that the Yankees backed out of a deal for Jack Flaherty due to injury concerns. Gio does not blame Cashman for walking away from that deal. Hour 2 The last episode of Hard Knocks felt like a propaganda-filled “thanks for doing this” from HBO to the Giants. The Jets did call the Giants to try and trade up to 6. Who did the Jets want at 6? Probably Malik Nabers or Rome Odunze. Everyone around here deserves a building better than MetLife Stadium.How about a new MSG with a sphere top over the West Side Highway? The Giants have a game-changer at WR for the first time in years. Phil Simms blames Joe Klecko for his bad knees. There are too many busts in the NFL Draft for teams to applaud after every pick. We rewatch the Jets first phone call to Zach Wilson when they drafted him. Jerry is back for an update but first we discuss famous male gymnasts in Team USA's history. Shaun Morash did not take the news of Gerrit Cole being scratched very well. Rickie Ricardo almost slipped up saying Jazz Chisholm's name. Rickie told Suzyn Waldman about his idea to gift Emmanuel Berbari a facial for his birthday. In the final segment of the hour, Gio had a teachable moment yesterday with his daughter and a dying bird. Where did the word “jism” originate? Hour 3 As we get set to turn the calendar to August, Boomer and Gio look at the Giants and Jets odds within their divisions and conferences this season. Vegas doesn't think much of the Giants chances. Then they go through what hyped up teams and QBs they believe in. Things have worked out for Jared Goff in Detroit.

In the final segment of the hour, Gio asks if any Olympic sports could get a big bump from this summer's games. He and Boomer discuss the popularity of the Olympics. Hour 4 The guys do more Olympics talk and figure out what events they will watch. There was a movie made by Olympians in the 80s. Audiences loved it but critics did not. A caller thinks the Jets will stink because of their offensive line. Boomer explains part of the difficulty with offensive line play. He still thinks Davante Adams will be traded to the Jets. The AFC West has two awful teams. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and begins with Jazz Chisholm's big night powering the Yankees to a win in Philly. The Mets are about to embark on a crazy road trip. The Moment of The Day involves isolated and manipulated audio. In the final segment of the day, Gio brings up an idea Zoo had off air that he found crazy. What Olympic events could we compete in given 10 years to train?

One more day of Stugotz filling in for Boomer. Yesterday after the show, Gio and Stugotz played golf together and Gio said it was the worst golf experience. The Mets won again, beating the Braves in 10 after the Braves couldn't pull off a suicide squeeze and then overran a fly ball hit by Jeff McNeil in the bottom of the 10th. We talked more about the worst day of golf yesterday. C-Lo is in for Jerry, but first we talked about the new Post Malone/Luke Combs country song. Al also thinks all of Jordan Davis' songs are about getting engaged. C-Lo has the sounds of the Mets beating the Braves and it doesn't seem like the manager called for that failed suicide squeeze. Dylan Cease no-hit the Nationals for the second no-hitter in Padres history. Dan Le Batard said Stugotz is bigger than anyone on FAN not named Boomer Esiason. In the final segment of the hour, Stugotz isn't sure why Brandon Tierney hates him so much.

In the final segment of the hour, Stugotz isn't sure why Brandon Tierney hates him so much.  Hour 2 Yesterday Gio had a take that this year's Mets team is comparable to the NY Giants in the first year of Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll. Gio found out this morning that Mike Fliegelman had that same take on Sunday morning, before Gio had that take. C-Lo is back for an update but first Gio talked about Grape Nuts and Splenda and they hit him up on Twitter. Phil the sales guy said he has been calling Splenda for advertising. C-Lo has audio of the Mets beating the Braves after the right fielder overran Jeff McNeil's fly ball. Jerry Jones met the media and some people feel like he's starting to slip a bit. A weird rumor going around the internet was that JD Vance made love to a couch. It's not true. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the book Stugotz is writing that is supposed to come out at the end of the year.  Hour 3 The Mets beat the Braves thanks to a botched suicide squeeze and a dropped fly ball in the bottom of the tenth. The crowd at the Mets game was tremendous last night. We also talked more about Gio's terrible golf experience with Stugotz yesterday. C-Lo returns for an update, but first one more golf story from yesterday. The Mets beat the Braves and C-Lo has all the sound of the failed suicide squeeze by Atlanta. Joe Schoen talked about Brian Daboll losing a lot of weight with pilates. Breece Hall talked about going for 1,000 yards this season after coming up 6 yards short. In the final segment of the hour, a caller wonders how Stugotz got his name.  Hour 4 Chris McMonigle joins us as he's been sleeping at the station since 5am. He is also hosting this afternoon. Gio asked him what people think about Stugotz being in the building. He thinks Evan Roberts is oblivious to Stugotz wanting his job. Good news, we got back to golf stories from yesterday as Stugotz thinks Gio takes it too seriously. A caller wonders whose idea it was to bring Stugotz in for the week. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day but first we talk about Stugotz being intimidated by Brandon Tierney. And look who it is, BT walked into the studio and sat down. The Moment of The Day involves Grape Nuts and Splenda. In the final segment of the week we finished up with a few calls.

The Moment of The Day involves Grape Nuts and Splenda and Phil the Sales Guy.

Boomer is out today and Stugotz is filling in, so it's Gio & Stugotz. He was up for the Program Director job at WFAN and he strung us along only to not take it. He said if he took the job he would fire Evan Roberts so he could do afternoon drive. Gio also wondered how Stugotz got into a spat with BT & Sal. He said they are the top 2 ‘radio goons'. C-Lo is in for Jerry and is here for his first update and starts with the Mets beating the Marlins behind 2 home runs by Francisco Lindor. The Yankees beat the Rays as Juan Soto hit 2 home runs. Jose Siri took his time around the bases after his HR, so Juan Soto took 37 seconds to round the bases on his. David Wells was with BT & Sal and they went at each other. Wells called BT a ‘yes man'. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about a guy that almost got killed by a water buffalo and it changed his life.
