The hour opens with a wild fight between an Uber Eats driver and Barstool security, debating whether an employee should have filmed the altercation or gotten help. C-Lo delivers his final update covering Gerrit Cole and the Yankees' loss to the Astros, George Lombard Jr.'s sixth straight game with an error, Rex Ryan visiting Jets camp, and Dan Campbell's message to high school players. Finally, the Moment of the Day highlights Jerry and Al's poor SAT scores before Jerry heads off to the Salt Shack for Jerry's Beach Bash.

Brian Burns is buying into the new-look Giants, calling the combination of talent and John Harbaugh a “dream come true” and insisting the team feels ready to finally start fast. Burns opens up about Harbaugh's demanding camp, Deonte Banks' turnaround, the new defense and why Giants fans should feel confident. Isaiah Likely also joins the show to explain why he chose New York, what stands out about Jaxson Dart and how Harbaugh's culture is already taking hold. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts as they debate what Odell Beckham Jr. can realistically provide in his Giants reunion and whether nostalgia is inflating expectations. Plus, Aaron Judge's possible September 8 return gains steam, and the Yankees' decision to keep Gerrit Cole out of the upcoming Red Sox series draws scrutiny.

Join PJ (@prspctvibecheck), Raj (@rajmehta.ca on BSky) and Greg (@greghoogkamp) as they discuss the legal issues Dodgers' owner Mark Walter is going through, what the Astros might do with their vacant GM position and what the DBacks (and dynasty managers) can do in the final 5 weeks of the season and beyond. The guys also highlight players from each position based on their performance since the All Star Break.Players Discussed: Liam Hicks, Pete Alonso, Willson Contreras, Ty France, Luke Keaschall, Bryson Stott, Nico Hoerner, Alex Bregman, Luis Rengifo, CJ Abrams, Fernando Tatis Jr., Pete Crow-Armstrong, Griffin Conine, Gerrit Cole, Cam Schlittler, Jesus Luzardo, Noah Cameron, Trevor Rogers, Brandon Pfaadt, Brent Headrick, Grant Taylor, Samy Natera Jr., Didier Fuentes

The Yankees bullpen is becoming a real strength, and Evan Roberts finally admits he wasn't the first to come up with the “Head to Bed” nickname. Even without their top late-inning arms available, the Yankees still finished off Baltimore behind strong work from Gerrit Cole and Ryan Yarbrough. Then things take a sharp turn on National Men's Grooming Day. Jaxson Dart's training camp mustache leads Evan and Tiki Barber into a full ranking of the coolest facial hair styles, from goatees and mutton chops to the Fitzpatrick beard and handlebar mustache.

The Yankees are suddenly back in the AL East race, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are split on whether this surge is real enough to catch Tampa Bay. Tiki reverses course after four straight wins and an improving lineup, while Evan refuses to abandon the larger sample without Aaron Judge. Gerrit Cole's dominant outing also sparks a major Yankees debate over whether he has actually been better in pinstripes than CC Sabathia. They also get into Michael Kay's eyebrow-raising “offensive orgy” call, Anthony Volpe's move to second base in the minors, Pete Alonso's potential Hall of Fame path, and the roster decision looming for Spencer Jones when Cody Bellinger returns. Plus, the wild New York-area storms and tornado videos lead to a debate over what anyone is actually supposed to do when a tornado hits.

The Yankees have won four straight and cut Tampa Bay's AL East lead to four games, forcing Tiki Barber to reverse his earlier declaration that the division race was over. Evan Roberts isn't convinced, arguing that the Yankees' lengthy stretch without Aaron Judge still shows a team only slightly above .500 despite the recent surge. They debate whether Cody Bellinger's return, improved offense from Elliott Ramos and Luis Garcia, and dominant pitching can change the race. Gerrit Cole's latest gem also sparks a bigger argument, with Evan making the case that Cole has actually been a better Yankee than CC Sabathia, even if CC remains the more beloved figure.

The Yankees swept the Orioles, Gerrit Cole had another good start and Jerry says this is the formula for the Yankees winning the World Series.

Jerry and C-Lo step in for Boomer & Gio on a Feel Good Summer Friday. After the Yankees swept the Orioles behind a strong Gerrit Cole start, Jerry outlines the team's World Series formula as the offense wakes up and Aaron Judge works his way back. Both hosts agree only the Rays can stop New York in the AL. Peter Schwartz arrives for his first update, fielding a question about his Jets coverage days before delivering sounds from the Yankees' victory. Tensions heat up at a joint Giants-Dolphins practice until Jaxson Dart steps in, the Islanders unveil their third jersey winner (leaving both Peter's design and Boomer's fish stick dream out in the cold), Jerry tests C-Lo on an AL dark horse threat, and Jacob deGrom hits a major milestone.

Gerrit Cole was fantastic again for the Yankees, passing Roger Clemens to move into 12th on the club's all-time K list. Not to be outdone, the Rangers' Jacob deGrom became second-fastest pitcher in history to reach 2,000 strikeouts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Orioles have been swept by the Yankees and last night's 6-1 loss was maybe the worst of the three. The offense had no answers for Gerrit Cole and that New York pitching staff.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the Thursday, August 20, 2026 edition of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed by looking back at a one and one showing from the previous best bets episode, then work through a full night of MLB action before closing out their season long NFL win total series with the Los Angeles Rams. The headline matchup is Yankees at Orioles in Baltimore, where Gerrit Cole opposes Kyle Bradish with Baltimore sitting as a home underdog near plus 111 and the total at seven and a half. Dave, at 2:36, explains why he nearly stuck with the Orioles again after their bullpen coughed up a competitive game the night before, praising Bradish for three straight starts with two or fewer earned runs allowed. Munaf, at 4:39, backs the pitching duel theory with hard numbers, noting Cole has gone to the under in all eight of his road starts this season and that the Yankees are 5-2 to the under in the first five innings on the road, leading both hosts to the first five under at four and a half. The conversation then shifts to Nationals at Rangers in Arlington, Andrew Alvarez against Jacob deGrom, where Dave, at 6:08, points out how rarely Washington has faced deGrom this year despite his strong overall track record, while Munaf, at 8:28, lays out deGrom's split of a 2.93 road ERA against a bloated 5.01 mark at home. With Washington's bullpen a season long weakness, both hosts land on the first five under, which Dave later calls his best bet of the day. The night's finale is Angels at Astros in Houston, Grayson Rodriguez against Peter Lambert, with Houston a heavy home favorite and the total at eight and a half. Dave, at 10:11, walks through Lambert's turnaround from early season struggles to five straight starts allowing exactly two earned runs, while Munaf, at 12:27, adds that Rodriguez has been especially rough pitching in Anaheim, pushing both hosts toward the Astros run line in the first five innings. Dave also runs through several early getaway day games at 14:30, leaning toward the Royals over the Athletics, staying cautious on Guardians at Giants despite liking Cleveland starter Gavin Williams, and singling out Mariners at Brewers as his favorite look behind Brewers starter Robert Gasser. Munaf, at 16:20, flags a surprising trend for Mariners starter George Kirby, who has struggled on the road all season even as Seattle keeps winning those first five innings anyway. The back half of the show turns to the Los Angeles Rams, who open the 2026 season with an 11.5 win total after finishing 12-5 a year ago. The Rams enter this season after acquiring reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns and adding cornerback Trent McDuffie, with persistent rumors surrounding a possible Aaron Donald return. Dave, at 18:45 and 19:29, breaks down a demanding schedule that opens with a trip to Australia against the 49ers, continues with a Monday night home opener against the Giants, and includes road trips to Denver and Philadelphia before Buffalo visits, ultimately landing on the over given the talent around Matthew Stafford. Munaf, at 21:17, goes a step further, projecting 13 wins and a division title behind the continued production of Davante Adams, Puka Nacua, and Kyren Williams on offense, paired with a defense that could feature both Myles Garrett and a returning Aaron Donald. The show wraps with the day's best bets, Dave riding the Nationals-Rangers first five under four and a half while Munaf backs the Yankees-Orioles first five under, both hosts tying the picks back to bullpen concerns and starting pitching form across the card. Before signing off, the two point listeners toward a busy day of action that includes golf playoff coverage, a full baseball schedule, and NFL preseason football in the evening, with the next episode of Cash That Ticket set for Friday.

Gene breaks down the Bills' joint practice with the Browns in Cleveland. Plus, betting analyst PJ Glasser gives his thoughts on MLB's playoff races and college football, including a bold take on Penn State.

Pete Alonso becomes the centerpiece of a bigger debate over whether teams are too afraid of the ugly final years of long-term contracts. Evan and Tiki argue that if a star delivers several elite seasons, the deal can still be worth it even if the back end turns bad, with Gerrit Cole serving as a prime Yankees example. The conversation also examines David Stearns' risk-averse approach with the Mets and whether avoiding long commitments can cost a team championship-caliber talent. Then the focus shifts to the Jets, where Geno Smith's return inspires a grim prediction about another losing season, an eventual quarterback change and New York once again searching for its long-term answer.

Max Fried is headed back to the injured list with a recurrence of the left elbow bone bruise that already cost him more than two months, putting even more pressure on a Yankees roster that can't afford another major loss. Evan and Tiki debate which Yankees are now the most indispensable, with Ben Rice, David Bednar, Gerrit Cole and George Lombard Jr. all entering the conversation. Lombard's immediate defensive impact and the energy he has brought to the Yankees make a strong case for the top spot, while Bednar's dominance at the back end of the bullpen could make him even more important in close games. The hour also touches on the Jets' need to finally produce a top-half offense and Jose Iglesias returning to Citi Field to throw out the first pitch.

Gene liked what he saw from the Bills in their preseason opener. Plus, he gives his first impressions of the new Highmark Stadium and Spectrum's Andy Young joins the show to discuss Buffalo's tough roster decisions.

Gene is excited about what he saw from the Bills in their first preseason game. Plus, he experienced the new Highmark Stadium for the first time and the AL wild card race is less than appealing.

Gene is not pleased with the quality of teams fighting for the final playoff spot in the American League, and some injured Yankees are working their way back.

The Yankees failed to sweep the Braves as their lifeless lineup once again could not generate runs. Chris McMonigle sounds off on the same old story, from a brilliant Cam Schlittler outing going to waste, to the lack of hope that this offense can break out without Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger. Plus, George Lombard Jr. continues to impress in his first taste of the majors, but is that enough to get this stacked pitching staff enough run support?EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS4:14 - A deep dive into how the lack of run support is completely exhausting relievers like Bednar, Blackburn, and Cruz by forcing them into constant high-leverage, one-run games.16:03 - Why Jazz Chisholm has become the face of the offensive issues, struggling heavily and bordering on becoming a platoon player.19:55 - Recapping Max Fried's excellent start and praising rookie George Lombard's incredibly clean, Carlos Correa-esque defense.35:50 - A passionate rant on Caballero's infuriating 10th-inning at-bat, which Chris declared the worst he's ever seen.42:27 - Gerrit Cole looks brilliant, Chris Sale gets tossed pregame for dugout chirping, and Austin Wells continues his hot 15-game stretch.48:04 - Debating Trent Grisham's place at the top of the order against righties, and why it might be too early to put leadoff pressure on Lombard.52:01 - Cam Schlittler dominates, but the offense wastes solid contact and falls to Atlanta in the series finale.58:00 - Why catching the Rays is slipping away and why avoiding a 3-game Wild Card series at Fenway Park is the team's new main priority.1:01:42 - Caballero rightfully earns the "Shame" for his offensive disaster, while Max Fried takes home the "Shill" for his clutch Friday start.

George Lombard Jr. has given the Yankees something their lifeless offense desperately needed: energy, confidence and a potential new table setter. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and Shaun argues the rookie should immediately move to the top of the lineup while Tiki warns that the Yankees remain a .500 team without Aaron Judge. They debate whether dominant outings from Gerrit Cole, Max Fried and Cam Schlittler can carry a lineup that still cannot consistently score, plus the possibility of a brutal Wild Card matchup with the Red Sox and whether Jazz Chisholm has played himself out of guaranteed everyday at-bats. The Giants also get a major NFC East opening after Laremy Tunsil's injury weakens Washington's offensive line. Tiki believes the Giants now have an edge over the Commanders, while Shaun says those division games have become must-wins for a team trying to stay relevant deep into the season.

We talked about the ‘86 Mets who were in town and which guys looked good and which guys didn't. We heard from Tarik Skubal about leaving Detroit.

WFAN's hallway construction brings loud on-air drilling and a chaotic weekend pipe break that flooded the station with brown water, followed by a chat about a naked man surviving a jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. C-Lo returns for an update right after Gio recalls Joe B waking him up in tighty whities, leading into Dave Sims calling the Yankees' win over the Cubs, Gerrit Cole forgetting he ever faced Luis Garcia Jr., and a fan offering to drive Geno Smith.

Gregg Giannotti has had enough of the Aaron Boone criticism when it is never followed by any kind of praise. He says Boone's critics who also rip the Yankees' use of analytics need to be consistent in their arguments. Plus, Evan Roberts says vintage Gerrit Cole has returned, and the rest of the American League should be scared. Chris McMonigle calls for Brian Cashman to stack the deck with pitching if there isn't a significant bat available at the trade deadline, and Boomer and Gio wonder why Boone doesn't have better odds to win Manager of the Year.

Cam Schlittler's emergence has created a high-stakes Yankees playoff debate: Has he done enough to take the Game 1 start from Gerrit Cole? Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash weigh Schlittler's current dominance against Cole's postseason experience and explain why Aaron Boone's decision will face intense scrutiny.

Cam Schlittler may already be the Yankees' ace, but should he take the ball over Gerrit Cole in Game 1 of a playoff series? Evan Roberts argues Schlittler has earned the biggest assignment right now, while Shaun Morash leans on Cole's experience and proposes saving the young star for potential elimination games. Tiki Barber explains why Cole can mentor Schlittler while still desperately wanting to remain the man. The debate expands into Aaron Boone's looming decision, Max Fried's place in the rotation and the backlash the Yankees could face if they choose wrong. Evan, Tiki and Shaun also test their NFL offseason knowledge in “New Team, Who Dis,” examine Breece Hall's contract compared with the exploding running back market.

Evan Roberts refuses to believe Mason Miller is truly available, setting off a battle with Shaun Morash over the Yankees' biggest potential trade deadline prize. Evan accepts a double loss if Miller is traded to New York, while Tiki Barber weighs in on a bullpen that has already become one of baseball's best. Gerrit Cole's dominant return, Jazz Chisholm's game-changing defense and a vulnerable American League leave the Yankees looking increasingly dangerous. The conversation turns to the Jets using artificial intelligence, whether AI can ever be trusted with football decisions and why organizational history makes that especially terrifying. Evan, Tiki and Shaun also debate whether the Mets are cursed, Juan Soto returning for meaningless September games, the threat of no baseball in 2027 and a daylight-saving argument that becomes one of the most heated fights of the hour.

Geno Smith addresses the media after an up and down off season, can the Jets lean on him to surprise the NFL world? Plus the Yankees get a dominant Gerrit Cole.

Gerrit Cole looks like himself again, and Evan Roberts believes that could make the Yankees' rotation dominant when October arrives. Jazz Chisholm's defense, a surprisingly strong bullpen and an unimpressive American League field only add to the growing optimism, but the trade deadline sparks the biggest fight.

Finally, Kyle Shanahan admits fault for his car crash, video from Tony Romo's OWI leaves Gio stunned by his living grandparents, and we ask whether Aaron Rodgers' wife actually exists.

A sick Boomer powers through to discuss summer illnesses, Geno Smith, Darren Mougey, Giants optimism, Aaron Rodgers' 2026 retirement plan, a Yankees win, and Rami's concert trip.
