We track Team USA’s dramatic World Cup run from controversial red cards to a legendary in-studio "goal" contest. On the diamond, Steve Cohen vents his extreme worry over the Mets' regressed farm system, locker room drama, and blowout losses, while the slumping Yankees drop consecutive extra-inning games to Detroit amidst an error and illness outbreak. In basketball, we break down Mitchell Robinson heading to the Celtics, Jaylen Brown's trade to the Sixers, LeBron’s Miami rumors, and Stephen A. Smith calling out the Lakers. Plus, Shaun Morash warns the NYC Mayor that "heat is dangerous," former players share wild locker room stories, and Gio reacts to some crazy Empire State Building climbers.

Team USA’s World Cup win and controversial red card have Gio calling it a "100% FIFA bang job," followed by Shaun Morash’s tips on beating the dangerous heat. Jerry drops his first update with the sounds of the U.S. victory, leading into Steve Cohen’s podcast comments about David Stearns, his extreme worry over the Mets' farm system, and how the team is taking the joy out of the season. Then we hit the diamond: the Mets lost to the Blue Jays as Freddy Peralta gave nothing, and the Yankees fell to the Tigers in 11 after committing 17 errors in 12 games. Finally, we react to Jaylen Brown’s trade to the Sixers, Mitchell Robinson heading to the Celtics, and a closing look at Team USA and the U.S. hosting the World Cup.

Mitchell Robinson signs with the Celtics—though Gio notes it doesn't mean he dislikes the Knicks—while Boston also trades Jaylen Brown to the Sixers. Next, LeBron’s potential landing spot shifts from Cleveland to Miami for the year-round golf, the Rangers trade Trocheck to the Mammoth, and Paul in Yonkers calls in to yell at Steve Cohen. Jerry’s update brings the Spanish call of the U.S. 2-0 goal and the head coach’s take on the red card, leading into Cohen addressing the true Lindor/Soto beef and explaining why letting Mendoza go was a mercy killing. Finally, the Yankees drop another one to Detroit in 11 frames with an illness-plagued roster, Stephen A. Smith blasts the Lakers as "white dude central," and Shaun Morash talks with the NYC Mayor because "heat is dangerous."
