Boomer & Gio

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Baseball has always had a fascination with matchups, whether it is a lefty pitcher against a lefty hitter or a righty hurler going up against a right-handed batter. But is it still a thing? Bradfo catches up with one of the best in the business in getting lefty hitters out, Yankees reliever Tim Hill, while also talking to a right-handed-hitting weapon, Angels outfielder Taylor Ward.

Hour 1 The Mets suffered a devastating sweep by the Pirates, prompting Boomer to remark on the team's poor performance and the ineffectiveness of a players-only meeting and Carlos Mendoza's ejection. Given the high payroll and dismal run production, Boomer stressed the need for accountability, while Jerry's update highlighted the Mets' struggles and included sound bites from Mendoza, Lindor, and Frankie Montas, alongside news of the Yankees' victory over the A's. Separately, the Knicks are reportedly considering Dawn Staley as a head coach, a prospect Gio dismissed as unlikely, and Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for unusual betting activity in the 2023-24 season. Hour 2 LeBron James has opted into his Lakers contract, but his agent Rich Paul's statement suggests a desire for a trade, possibly campaigning for Giannis to join the Lakers. This has led to speculation about what the Knicks would offer for LeBron, with one caller even suggesting he become a player/coach. In other news, Aaron Judge hit two homers as the Yankees beat the A's, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. had a home run and a triple. The Mets suffered their most lopsided series defeat in history. As NBA free agency begins, LeBron's future is a hot topic, while callers debated the Mets bringing back Syndergaard and deGrom, and if LeBron would force Bronny on the Knicks if he joined. Hour 3 Following former MLB player Dave Parker's passing this weekend, which coincided with the Mets' series in Pittsburgh, Gio reminisced about classic sports photography and its decline due to the internet, while Boomer claimed to have cried over an Islanders draft pick story, which Gio doubted. Both discussed their weekend family entertainment, with Gio attending a dance recital and Boomer's grandchildren seeing the Wiggles. Jerry's update focused on the Mets' continued losses to the Pirates, prompting Steve Cohen to post about the team's state on X, while the Yankees easily defeated the A's with a Cody Bellinger homer. The segment concluded with a discussion of Tom Brady dancing with Sydney Sweeney at a wedding and Gio's dissatisfaction with a thank you from a makeup artist he helped on Fire Island. Hour 4 Knicks enter free agency without a coach. NHL draft, Rangers & Islanders picks discussed. LI football player receiving D1 offers. Jerry's final update, REM's ‘What's The Frequency, Kenneth?', Dan Rather & Tom Brokaw discussed. Can Knicks get LeBron? Is Jerry a ‘father figure' to drafted Rutgers players? Mets swept in Pittsburgh, Lindor explains. Yankees beat A's, Judge homers twice. MoD: Eddie gives insulin on Poop Cruise. Wing Bowl returns in February.

Knicks enter free agency coachless. We discuss the NHL draft, a top LI football recruit, and the REM song "What's The Frequency, Kenneth?", Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw. Could the Knicks get LeBron? Is Jerry a 'father figure' to Rutgers draftees? Mets swept by Pirates; Lindor explains. Judge's two homers lead Yankees over A's. Moment of the Day: Eddie's Poop Cruise insulin sacrifice. Wing Bowl returns in February.

What would it take for the Knicks to get LeBron? Is Jerry a ‘father figure' to the Rutgers players that just got drafted? The Mets got swept in Pittsburgh and Lindor tried to explain what happened. The Yankees beat the A's as Judge homered twice. The Moment of the Day: Eddie gives up his insulin on the Poop Cruise.

The Knicks are going into free agency without a head coach. Has that ever happened before? We also somehow got into the NHL draft and the guys the Rangers and Islanders took. Then we talked about a football player from Long Island that has a bunch of D1 schools offering him scholarships. Good luck.

Jerry starts with the sounds of the Mets losing to the Pirates. We heard from Evan Roberts and Pete Hoffman after the game. Steve Cohen just posted to X about the state of the team after Gio was wondering why he hasn't posted in a while.

Boomer said he cried over the story of the Islanders draft pick. Gio doesn't believe that.

Jerry starts with the sounds of Aaron Judge hitting his second HR of the day as the Yankees beat the A's. Jazz had a homer and a triple. The Mets had their most lopsided series defeat in history this weekend against the Pirates. Carlos Mendoza talked about their problems after the game. Gio wonders if it's time for Steve Cohen to do a positive post on X.

LeBron James opted into his contract with the Lakers, but agent Rich Paul put out a statement that makes it seem like they want the Lakers to trade him. He is building the foundation to get LeBron out of there. Maybe they are campaigning for Giannis to the Lakers. What would the Knicks need to offer to get LeBron here? A caller wants LeBron to be a player/coach for the Knicks.

The Knicks are supposedly talking with Dawn Staley as a head coach candidate. Gio said there is no chance of that happening.

The Mets got swept by the Pirates and were outscored 30-4. Boomer said you know the team is bad when Ron Darling is talking about ice cream sandwiches. They had a players only meeting on Saturday night that did not work. We talked about the Mets payroll and how that payroll only scored 4 runs. Carlos Mendoza got tossed from a game hoping that would help. It didn't. Because of the payroll, ‘Somebody's ass has got to be held accountable', according to Boomer.

Hear from the best guests of the week: Ron Darling, Howie Rose, and Pete Alonso all joined Evan & Tiki at Citi Field to talk all things Mets and baseball. Dexter Henry from SNY joins Keith McPherson to talk about the NBA Draft.

Plus, Sal celebrates Juan Soto's torrid June, while Tommy Luguauer presents a wild idea to spark the rest of the lineup. Also, a conversation with Pete Alonso from Citi Field with Evan and Tiki.

This week's Yankees highlights include Evan and Tiki breaking down why the Yankees struggle so badly in extra innings, and in late-game situations when a run is needed. Plus, is Aaron Boone too cautious with his roster, and does this lineup have real issues? BT and Sal also debate how the Yanks have used Jasson Dominguez in his young career.

Brandon Tierney and Sal Licata discuss if coaching the Knicks is really Jason Kidd's dream job. Plus, a caller raises Jason Kidd's “baggage” with BT & Sal; Evan & Tiki on why they think Kidd is still a strong possibility; Boomer & Gio wonder what the Knicks are looking for in a coach and criticize how the team is stuck in neutral as the rest of the NBA is making moves; Evan & Tiki discuss a report that Mikal Bridges could be on the trading block.

Hour 1 The Mets secured a win last night, splitting their series with the Braves. In other sports news, Griffin Canning is the latest athlete to suffer an Achilles injury, prompting concern and speculation from many, including Boomer and Gio, who voiced their own fears about Achilles injuries in daily life. Pete Alonso, on "Evan & Tiki," approved of Tiki joining the show but disliked the idea of him leading off, and a picture of Evan wearing a Mets bucket hat at the game made its rounds on social media. The segment concluded with news that Tony Gonzalez will attend his ex, Lauren Sanchez's, wedding to Jeff Bezos, which Gio found "weird." Hour 2 Boomer started the hour by spraying for a "foot smell" and then recounted a bizarre dream about struggling to find a bathroom, possibly influenced by their "Poop Cruise" discussion. With Scott Van Pelt off for the summer, the team reminisced about Boomer's past idea of moving the show to afternoons, which Al, Eddie, and Jerry resisted, and Boomer expressed a desire to do summer shows from the Hamptons. Before C-Lo's update, they discussed Long Island football player Preston Carey's numerous D1 offers, then celebrated the Mets' shutout win over the Braves, which put them back in first place. They also touched on Steve Gelbs' buffalo story that prompted Keith Hernandez to recall their demise, finally ending the hour discussing the Rangers' draft and free agency. Hour 3 The hour began by discussing the top 2025 NFL head coach hot seat rankings, with Brian Daboll listed at number one, and a conversation about softball injuries, particularly Al's confusion about groin injuries. C-Lo's update highlighted the Mets' strong bullpen performance after Griffin Canning's Achilles injury and Pete Alonso's struggles throwing to first base. A bizarre caller claimed to have mistakenly eaten a donkey penis in the Caribbean. The hour concluded with Gio questioning the lack of public interest in the Diddy trial and admitting he wasn't sure what "racketeering" meant. Hour 4 Dan in Carteret seemingly criticized Boomer and communicated with Dave Sims on X, as Keith McPherson ranted about the Yankees' "soft" culture. C-Lo's final update began with sounds of Griffin Canning's Achilles injury, followed by clips of Pete Alonso discussing the Mets' history against the Braves and if he'd be a Met for life, and actual PitchCom audio. Spike Eskin was duped by a fake story, which C-Lo aired. The "Moment of The Day" featured Boomer witnessing horse insemination as a child and gynecologist Dr. Dan accidentally eating a donkey penis. The week's final segment included Jim Norton telling Joe Rogan about driving around NYC seeking hookers while listening to Joe Benigno.

The "Moment of The Day" featured Boomer witnessing horse insemination as a child and gynecologist Dr. Dan accidentally eating a donkey penis.

Keith McPherson went off on the current Yankee culture of being ‘soft'.

Gio wonders why nobody seems to care about the Diddy trial. Gio said he's not sure what ‘racketeering' is.

We started with the top 2025 hot seat rankings for NFL head coaches. These are the guys most likely to lose their jobs. Brian Daboll is listed as number one.

Pete Alonso was on with Evan & Tiki and we heard some clips. Steve Gelbs had a story about buffalo and "Debbie Downer" Keith Hernandez reminds us how they were all killed.

Boomer woke up from a strange dream last night and tried to explain it to us. It involved him having to go to the bathroom, but people kept getting in his way. Our discussion of the ‘Poop Cruise' may have caused this dream. Scott Van Pelt is off for the summer now. Eddie watches him every night/morning. We talked about the time Boomer was considering moving the show to afternoons and how Al, Eddie and Jerry didn't want that. Boomer wants to start doing summer shows from the Hamptons.

C-Lo starts with the sounds of Griffin injuring his achilles. Pete Alonso was on with Evan & Tiki and said of Tiki being on the show, ‘sick'. They presented Alonso with Tommy Lugauer's lineup idea, but Pete didn't like the idea of him leading off. A pic of Evan at the game circulated on social media of him wearing the Mets bucket hat.

The Mets won last night to split their series with the Braves. Griffin Canning became the latest athlete to suffer an achilles injury and everyone is trying to figure out what's going on.

Jordan Robinson is back to recap another wild week in women's sports, and is joined by The Athletic's Charlie Eccleshare to dig into the outlook heading into Wimbledon, and why it is quietly one of the greatest events at championing equality.

Hour 1 We started the show with the NBA draft which was last night and how the Knicks still don't have a head coach. They better have one soon as we head into free agency. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the NBA draft. ESPN announced that Portland drafted ‘Colin Cowherd' and also misidentified Cooper Flagg twice. Boomer asked if there was Buzz, or No Buzz, with the Nets. The Mets finally beat the Braves as Juan Soto hit 2 HRs. Jerry just called Jazz Chisholm ‘Jizzm'. In the final segment of the hour, Sydney Esiason says farewell to ‘WAG Life' now that Matt Martin has retired. Hour 2 Reports indicate NFL owners colluded in 2022 to limit player guarantees, using emails about Kyler Murray and Justin Herbert, a fact the NFLPA allegedly withheld from players. In sports, the Yankees beat the Reds (Dominguez 4-for-5), and the Mets topped the Braves with Jeff McNeil's great catch and Juan Soto's two homers. Cooper Flagg was the NBA's top draft pick. Other topics included an impaled lifeguard, George Kittle on the Vasper bike, and a humorous anecdote about former colleague Mark Chernoff. Hour 3 The hour began with baseball, noting the Yankees' series against the A's and the Mets' games against the Braves and Pirates. They discussed "triple digit sizzlers" (100+ mph pitches) and the existence of Sizzler restaurants. A caller raised concerns about the Knicks' lack of a head coach. Jerry's update highlighted Mets and Yankees wins, with Juan Soto hitting two homers. Two Rutgers players were drafted in the NBA, and Morehead State will honor Phil Simms. The hour concluded with a discussion about Counting Crows' tour and pre-show setlist viewing. Hour 4 The NBA draft saw the Nets not use their five picks to move up, while the Knicks continued their head coach search. Nick Van Exel blamed injuries on low-top sneakers. The Yankees avoided a sweep, the Mets beat the Braves (Soto 2 HRs), and a hurdler had an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction. ESPN mistakenly said the Trailblazers drafted "Colin Cowherd." The "Moment of the Day" was an NBA trade involving Jeanie Buss's panties. The show ended discussing the Knicks' coaching search and their urgent championship window.

The "Moment of the Day" was an NBA trade involving Jeanie Buss's panties. The show ended discussing the Knicks' coaching search and their urgent championship window.

In the final segment of the show, we talked about the Knicks coaching search and what kind of experience they're looking for. If the Knicks are going to win a championship, it has to be now.

The NBA draft was last night and we were surprised the Nets didn't package any of their 5 picks to move up. The Knicks are still looking for a head coach. Gio said there's not as much off season NBA juice because Woj is gone. Former player Nick Van Exel thinks all the NBA injuries are due to players no longer wearing high top sneakers.

Boomer used the phrase, ‘triple digit sizzlers' for pitches over 100 mph. We talked about Sizzler and how they still exist, mostly on the west coast. We went though some other places like Long John Silver and Arthur Treacher's.
