CLo joins for updates, but they discuss reality TV. CLo asks Gio about getting sick from licking his golf ball, which Gio is relieved is legitimate. Baseball is back, Jim Harbaugh is still a character, and CLo has a golf highlight.

The TJ Watt extension led Gio to ponder how teams can really know which players are worth investing in. Salaries are skyrocketing and players can make more money off the field than ever before. A lot of players only care about the money these days.

A caller who was at the BT game in question tells Boomer and Gio exactly what happened. He says BT was kicked out and the umpires tossing him was warranted. He gave Gio every detail that Gio wanted to hear.

Brandon Tierney's alleged ejection from a game leads to a conversation about how much criticism of referees or umpires is too much? We take a bunch of calls and most of them side with umpires tossing out parents who take things too far.

We take a look at the Giants competition in the NFC East now that the Commanders have added Von Miller. Will Arch Manning take the same approach to college that his uncles did and stay as long as he can? Mike McDaniel is on the hot seat. Boomer likes what the Patriots are building.

A leaked video has people believing that Francisco Lindor will be named Mets captain on Saturday, Gio says it feels earned and not forced. Boomer agrees that it feels right for Lindor to be the Mets next captain.

KAT has a lot to prove and the ability to do it all on the court. Boomer wonders if KAT wants to be great and put in the work to get there or if he's happy with where he already is. Gio hopes KAT uses this as fuel to fire him up moving forward.
