Hour 1 NBA free agency is buzzing, with the Bucks making moves and the Knicks signing Guerschon Yabusele. The NHL's free agency has been quieter, though the Rangers did pick up Vladislav Gavrikov. On the baseball front, the Yankees lost in Toronto due to defensive errors. The Mets face a doubleheader that will strain their pitching ahead of their series against the Yankees, a matchup that's sure to leave one fanbase fuming given both teams' recent pitching woes. Elsewhere, WNBA player Sophie Cunningham stirred controversy with her post-game actions and comments on league expansion. Hour 2 A production error led to the wrong Sports Minute being aired, much to Boomer's frustration. Discussions then turned to the puzzling trend of rising NBA salaries and high team valuations, like the Lakers' $10 billion sale, despite years of declining TV ratings. Callers suggested deals with gambling companies might be propping up the league. In other sports news, the Yankees lost in Toronto with more fielding issues, and George Springer hit two homers, including a grand slam. The hour concluded with news that NBA player Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for a potential sports betting scandal, prompting a caller to criticize leagues for their involvement with sportsbooks. Hour 3 Boomer was annoyed by a production error during the Sports Minute. Discussions continued on Malik Beasley's gambling accusations and the potential for players to fix prop bets. News updates included Red Panda's unicycle fall and George Springer's dominant performance against the Yankees. A caller suggested betting on WNBA "unders" based on players' menstrual cycles. Finally, a Queens driving school was exposed for illegal licenses, prompting a Google search for NYC's gambling revenue allocation, which largely funds public schools.

NBA free agency sees the Knicks' roster seemingly set and LeBron's agent claiming four teams are interested. A man shared his story of leaving his fiancée for an HR colleague. Updates included the Blue Jays beating the Yankees, the Nets introducing draft picks, and Gio predicting a terrible Dolphins season and Mike McDaniel's firing.
