Bump and Stacy chat with ESPN’s Buster Olney about the Mariners starting rotation and the upcoming Little League Classic in Williamsport, take a closer look at the Seahawks preseason position battles in Four Down Territory, debate the pros and cons of chasing the bag in the NIL era in The Timeline, and hear from Justin Hollander on Bryce Miller’s timeline.
Hour 1 Despite hopes for a Feel Good Summer Friday, the Mets' disappointing season, potentially their worst ever, is creating a nightmare for Gio and Jerry. A "loser virus" seems to have infected the team, leading to contagious losses and a sloppy performance. Gio is frustrated, throwing a helmet off the desk, and both Jerry and C-Lo share his fatigue. Gio blames Cedric Mullins' poor route for a run, while Jerry sees the Mullins trade as a mistake. Carlos Mendoza is at a loss for words. A caller suggests firing Mendoza and hiring Wally Backman, but Jerry thinks Carlos Beltran will be the next manager. Gio disagrees. A Missouri caller rubs salt in the wound, and another caller's brother-in-law, a long-time stadium worker since The Beatles' concert, will throw out the first pitch. Hour 2 Gio fears a dark October for New York sports. Jerry sees the Giants' strong defense as a playoff hope, while Gio is less optimistic about the Giants and Jets. They discuss Shedeur Sanders, a positive Jets outlook despite potential losses, and the Mets and Yankees' playoff chances. The segment covers C-Lo's update on the Mets' struggles, Lindor's urgency, Mendoza sounding like Boone, Keith Hernandez's comments, Udonis Haslem's gaffe, Sal Licata's departure, and Darryl Strawberry's reaction to Pete Alonso's "down goes Straw." They anticipate the Giants-Jets preseason game, differing on the Giants' 2025 offense. The hour concludes with a discussion on Stanley Cup craze, crazy headlines, and Boomer's temperament. Hour 3 "Feel Good Friday" features "Surfside" talk, an online beef between WFAN callers, and the Mets' lack of an ace. Social media's impact is discussed, with Eddie opting out. C-Lo provides an update, while Gio asks Fliegs about Taylor Swift's new album. Gio and Jerry recall Gio meeting Dua Lipa. Mike Francesa's birthday wish for Jay Horwitz prompts a discussion of classic WFAN prank calls and famous on-air flubs. The hour concludes with a heated exchange between Dan in Carteret and John in Maspeth. Hour 4 On a "Feel Good Friday," Gio and Jerry try to remain positive despite the Mets' disappointing season. WFAN night/overnight shows are now streaming live on YouTube, with good initial viewership. A caller's teenage son got a hole-in-one after only a few months of golfing, leading to talk about the "rowdy" Ryder Cup. C-Lo returns for an update after Jerry fails to get support from Gio and C-Lo. The Mets lost, and a fan accidentally hit the SAP button. Howie Rose commented on an LLWS video on X. The Yankees play in St. Louis tonight. A Brewers fan called 911 over a free burger promo. C-Lo plays old on-air pranks and mistakes, including one from Jerry's overnight days. Moment of the Day: Mike Francesa wishes Jay Horwitz a happy 80th on Twitter/X. Finally, Gio and Jerry compare the Giants' QB room to other NFL teams and Jerry is excited for the Mets' MLB Little League Classic.
On a "Feel Good Friday," Gio and Jerry try to remain positive despite the Mets' disappointing season. WFAN night/overnight shows are now streaming live on YouTube, with good initial viewership.

Moment of the Day: Mike Francesa wishes Jay Horwitz a happy 80th on Twitter/X. Finally, Gio and Jerry compare the Giants' QB room to other NFL teams and Jerry is excited for the Mets' MLB Little League Classic.
"Feel Good Friday" features "Surfside" talk, online WFAN caller beef, and Mets discussions (lack of an ace, Jay Horwitz's birthday, Francesa's prank calls, WFAN flubs). Gio and Jerry ponder social media's impact; Eddie shuns it. Updates from C-Lo; Gio asks Fliegs about Taylor Swift's new album. Gio recalls meeting Dua Lipa. Dan in Carteret fires back at John in Maspeth.
Gio fears a bleak October for New York sports, while Jerry believes the Giants' strong defense can lead them to the playoffs. Gio dismisses Shedeur Sanders' preseason hype, but Jerry hopes he proves doubters wrong. A Jets fan is optimistic about the team's turnaround under Aaron Glenn. Gio expects neither the Mets nor Yankees to make the playoffs, while Jerry is confident the Yankees will and predicts a Giants Week 1 win over the Commanders. Gio is less optimistic about the Giants and Jets than Jerry. The guys also question a graphic error showing "MICHAEL PENIS JR" instead of Penix. C-Lo's update covers the Braves beating the Mets, Lindor's urgency, Mendoza sounding like Boone, Keith Hernandez's comments, Udonis Haslem's gaffe, the Mets losing Sal Licata, and Darryl Strawberry's reaction to Pete Alonso's "down goes Straw" HR ball. The Giants Jets preseason game is tomorrow, and Jerry has higher expectations for the Giants offense in 2025. Finally, they discuss the continued popularity of Stanley cups and crazy headlines, noting Boomer's generally good mood.
Despite hopes for a Feel Good Summer Friday, the Mets' disappointing season, potentially their worst, is making it difficult for Gio and Jerry. The team is plagued by a "loser virus," consistently finding ways to lose, making the season a nightmare. Gio questions the clubhouse atmosphere, while Jerry and C-Lo share the frustration. Criticisms include Cedric Mullins' poor route and his trade for Tyrone Taylor, manager Carlos Mendoza's lack of answers, and overall sloppy play. An overnight caller suggested firing Mendoza for Wally Backman, though Jerry believes Carlos Beltran will be the next manager. The hour concludes with a caller from Missouri rubbing salt in the wound, and another whose brother-in-law, a 60-year veteran of Shea Stadium and Citi Field (starting with The Beatles' concert), is throwing out tonight's first pitch.
Mike Francesa wished Mets historian and media relations director Jay Horwitz a happy birthday. It leads to a conversation about classic prank calls to Mike and the rest of WFAN. We remember famous flubs in WFAN history.
If the Mets miss the playoffs it will be one of the most disappointing seasons, and maybe the most disappointing, in their history. Losing is contagious and the Mets feel like they have some sort of loser virus infecting the team. The season is turning into a nightmare.
Gio thinks Cedric Mullins took a bad route to a ball last night and that the run shouldn't have scored. Jerry thinks trading for Mullins to replace Tyrone Taylor was a mistake. Carlos Mendoza doesn't know what to say. Gio emphasizes that the team is sloppy.
A Jets fan is very excited for this season and thinks Aaron Glenn will turn the team around. The Jets can be a positive story even with a losing record. Gio does not think the Mets or Yankees will make the playoffs. Jerry says the Yankees will. He also thinks the Giants will beat the Commanders week 1. Gio is not nearly as optimistic about the Giants and Jets as Jerry is.
A caller points out a beef between regular WFAN callers online and complains that the Mets don't have an ace. One of the callers involved in the beef calls in to defend himself. Gio and Jerry discuss how social media has changed. Eddie has no interest in joining any social media platform.
