Listeners of Boomer & Gio that love the show mention: bandc, 3pm, boomer and carton,The Boomer & Gio podcast is a must-listen for any sports fan, especially those who are fans of New York teams. The hosts, Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti, along with their supporting cast of Jerry Recco, Al Dukes, and Eddie Scozzare, provide entertaining and informative discussions on sports and other random topics. Their chemistry and camaraderie make it feel like you're hanging out with friends while getting your daily dose of sports news.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the humor and banter between the hosts. Boomer and Gio have great comedic timing and their back-and-forth exchanges keep listeners entertained throughout the show. The addition of Jerry, Al, and Eddie adds even more humor to the mix. They often delve into personal anecdotes and share funny stories that make the show relatable and enjoyable.
Another great aspect of this podcast is the extensive coverage of New York sports teams. As a Long Islander in North Carolina, I appreciate being able to stay up-to-date on my favorite teams from back home. Boomer & Gio provide insightful analysis on games, trades, and player performances that keeps me informed even though I'm miles away.
However, one downside to this podcast is Sal Licata's contributions when he fills in for one of the hosts. Some listeners find his constant yelling and repetitive statements annoying. While everyone has their own preferences when it comes to radio personalities, it's clear that Sal does not resonate well with everyone.
In conclusion, The Boomer & Gio podcast is a fantastic way to start your day if you love sports, have a good sense of humor, and enjoy some laughs along the way. The chemistry among the hosts is unmatched, making them truly the best in the business. While there may be some minor flaws with certain contributors to the show, overall it remains a staple in many listeners' morning routines.

Nicky Cass is in for Boomer today. He and Gio talked about little league stories from when we were younger. We talked about having the ‘yips' playing little league and softball.
Nicky Cass and Gio discussed travel safety and a wild golf tournament experience.
Frank The Tank went off after yet another loss. The Yankees lost to the Reds, but Aaron Judge hit his 28th HR. Elly De La Cruz singled, tripled and homered in the win. Netflix released the trailer for ‘Quarterback'. The ‘Poop Cruise' documentary is out today on Netflix.
Nicky Cass is in for Boomer and he and Gio started the hour talking about the upcoming NFL season for the Jets and Giants. The Giants have a very difficult schedule. Nicky just wants a respectable season out of the Giants. Just be competitive every week. We talked about Russell Wilson's alter ego, ‘Mr. Unlimited'.
Jerry starts with the sounds of the Reds beating the Yankees as Elly De La Cruz homered, tripled and singled. Soto homered and made a great catch in right, but struck out with first & third late in the game. Gilbert Arenas was asked by Dan Patrick what we will remember about the Pacers/Thunder series and he said, ‘nothing'. Mark Schelreth said he asked Aaron Rodgers about the Jets run game and he went on a diatribe about the dysfunction.
Boomer is out today so it's Gio and Nicky Cass today. The Mets lost again, making it 9-of-10 games. Gio doesn't want to hit the panic button because last year at this time we had them completely counted out. When Juan Soto was not hitting, the Mets were winning. Now that he is hitting, they're not.

Woody Johnson is buying a piece of Crystal Palace F.C.
Peter returns for an update, but first we talked about his son being ‘in the portal'. A caller said Peter is, ‘a bag of problems'.
A caller thinks Gio decided to talk about game 7 of the NBA Finals because he didn't want to talk about how terrible his Mets have been. A guy named Matt called in. He came in third place at Fanatics-Fest, but the first amateur person, and he won some cash.
We talked to Peter about the arena league team he is now suing.
David Peterson had a rough night in Philadelphia and the Mets are now a second place team. They were swept by the Rays, swept by the Braves and lost 2-of-3 to the Phillies. It's going to be extremely hot during this Mets series against the Braves. The Mets sent Francisco Alvarez down to Syracuse because of the way he's playing.

We heard audio as Sal presented BT with their show baseball card where Sal was bigger than BT and he didn't like that. We heard audio of John Minko with Andy ‘the walrus' many years ago. It was a college radio show of some sort. Shedeur Sanders addressed his speeding issues. The Moment of The Day: Explaining ‘slump busters' to Boomer.
A caller said he still uses ‘the clapper' today, for indoor Christmas lights. We then talked about blue blockers sunglasses and the rapping commercial.
We talked about a B&G show foursome that would dominate any other show on the station in golf. This seems very important to Boomer & Gio.
The Mets have dropped six straight and might need a ‘slump buster' to end the losing streak. Francisco Lindor and the rest of the Mets have not been showing up offensively. Remember a week or two ago when the Mets had too much pitching with players coming back from injury? Now they are short pitchers.
Yamamoto was denied an immaculate inning after a bad call by the ump. There were a lot of players getting beaned in Dodgers/Padres, with even the managers getting into it. The Pacers beat OKC to force a game 7 in the NBA Finals.
Right now, it seems like Mike Brown is going to be the next head coach of the Knicks.
