Their chemistry and camaraderie make it feel like you're hanging out with friends while getting your daily dose of sports news.

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.

Hour 1 The Mets and Yankees are on a roll, with David Peterson throwing a complete game for the Mets. Meanwhile, the Knicks' coaching search continues to flounder, with rejections from candidates like Jason Kidd and public criticism from Charles Barkley. Elsewhere, the U.S. Open starts today, the Pacers took a 2-1 series lead over the Thunder, and an anonymous player poll named Juan Soto the hitter pitchers least want to face in a World Series Game 7. Hour 2 Howard Stern believes sportscasters should normalize saying "penis" on air. In basketball, Kyrie Irving defended Karl-Anthony Towns from criticism as the Pacers surprisingly took a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals. Evan and Tiki debated the Knicks' situation, while the Yankees beat the Royals with a 5-run inning and an Aaron Judge homer. Marcus Stroman made a rehab start, and the Mets shut out the Nationals thanks to two Brandon Nimmo home runs and a complete game from David Peterson, though Pete Alonso getting hit angered Ron Darling. Finally, Mike Tannenbaum predicted Aaron Rodgers would be irrelevant by Thanksgiving, and Rodgers recently got married privately. Hour 3 Both the Yankees and Mets are hot, building excitement for potential September playoff pushes; the Yankees' post-Juan Soto additions are thriving, while Mets pitching is so strong a caller doesn't want Sean Manaea back from injury. Boomer expects the Braves to heat up but notes Phillies' injuries. In other news, Kyrie Irving defended Karl-Anthony Towns on Twitch, leading to a discussion about "code switching" and whether New Jersey is a "tiny" state. The Yankees beat the Royals with an Aaron Judge homer, and the Mets shut out the Nationals thanks to a David Peterson complete game and two Brandon Nimmo home runs, though Pete Alonso getting hit again angered Ron Darling. Hour 4 The Knicks are still searching for a new head coach, with speculation about player input during exit interviews. A new "Roommates" podcast is due today. Jerry's final update included the Pacers' 2-1 lead over the Thunder, the Yankees' victory over the Royals (5 runs in the second), and the Mets' shutout of the Nationals, featuring a David Peterson complete game and homers from Juan Soto and Brandon Nimmo. Joe Flacco found it hard to believe adults use TikTok. The "Moment of The Day" was a funny caller interaction with Jerry, and Boomer is out tomorrow for a Maryland quarterback event.

Joe Flacco found it hard to believe adults use TikTok. The "Moment of The Day" was a funny caller interaction with Jerry, and Boomer is out tomorrow for a Maryland quarterback event.
We talked more about the Knicks search for the next head coach. What could the players have said in those exit interviews with James Dolan and Leon Rose? Gio thought the players liked Thibs. There has not been a new Roommates podcast since the firing, but they are putting one out today.
Kyrie Irving was on a Twitch stream and he wants everyone to stop making fun of Karl-Anthony Towns. We wondered if NJ is considered a ‘tiny' state. A caller wonders if Jerry still thinks Kyrie Irving is ‘brilliant'.
The Yankees and Mets are both on a roll and it's going to get to a fever pitch if they are both making playoff runs in September. Everyone is getting activated and awake. The players the Yankees got after losing Juan Soto have worked out great so far. A caller loves how the Mets pitching staff is going so much, he doesn't want Sean Manaea to come back from injury.
The Yankees beat the Royals as they scored 5 runs in the second and Aaron Judge homered later in the game. Marcus Stroman got a start for the Somerset Patriots as part of his rehab. The Mets shutout the Nationals as Brandon Nimmo hit 2 HRs. David Peterson threw a complete game. Alonso got hit for the 9th time this year and Ron Darling was angry.
Howard Stern wants sportscasters to normalize the penis. He said announcers will never say they got hit in the nuts or the penis. Kyrie Irving has had it with people criticizing Karl-Anthony Towns.
Jerry starts with the teams that have rejected the Knicks from talking to their head coaches. Charles Barkley called the Knicks, ‘the stupidest damn people in the world'. Stephen A. Smith wants the Knicks to call Mark Jackson. The Pacers beat the Thunder to take a 2-1 series lead and we heard some of the highlights. We talked about DeMarcus Cousins vs fans in Puerto Rico.
The Knicks continue to have no idea who their next coach is, as they were denied talking to Jason Kidd among many others. Kidd could try to force his way out, but he'll probably get more money and an extension from Dallas instead.

Hour 1 Boomer and Gio are back from golfing for charity, where Gio got drunk for his birthday and sang a blues song about Matt Martin. They also hung out with Chad Smith. Sports highlights include Aaron Judge's massive homer and Aaron Rodgers' recent marriage. The Knicks coaching situation was a key topic, with Thibs, Johnnie Bryant, and Mark Jackson all discussed.

The Bengals are facing player contract issues. Jerry provided an update, which included sounds of Giancarlo Stanton getting hits for the Somerset Patriots.

Aaron Rodgers discussed his "decision from the soul" leading him to Pittsburgh, and Mike Tomlin addressed T.J. Watt's contract.

We talked more about the Knicks coaching search. They want Jason Kidd, but why would the Mavericks give him up? Gio said a team doesn't want a coach or a player who would rather be elsewhere. At this point it looks like it's going to be Johnnie Bryant. Who else is there?
Jerry has the sounds of Giancarlo Stanton getting a few hits for the Somerset Patriots. There's a Bengals contract issue, Bills mini-camp opens and Steelers stuff. Pro golfers were asked what amateurs would shoot at the US Open if they had to hit every shot and bring only 12 golf balls.
It's looking like Chris Kreider is getting traded to the Anaheim Ducks. We talked more about the Knicks not having a head coach and not having a plan to get one.
Jerry starts with the Mets beating the Nationals in the tenth on an RBI single by McNeil. The Yankees beat the Royals as Austin Wells drove in 5 runs and Judge hit a monster HR. Max Fried pitched another solid seven innings. Chris Russo had a few more names he couldn't pronounce including mojitos and Matthew McConaughey. Aaron Glenn had some fun with the media when asked if everyone showed up. Jerry has the edited song from Ice Spice (which you won't hear because of outdated streaming rules). Jim Harbaugh talked about some health issues he had taken care of.
We talked more about the Knicks coaching situation and how there is no game plan other than asking to talk to coaches already under contract with other teams who will not give them up. For betting purposes, Polymarket has Rick Brunson at 26% and the others are at 25%. Gio went through the list. Jason Kidd is only 13% and Mark Jackson is only 1%.
Jerry starts with the Knicks coaching situation and Gio suggests they apologize to Thibs and bring him back. It seems like it's going to be Johnnie Bryant at this point. We heard Dave Sims on the call as Judge homered.
Aaron Judge hit an insane HR in KC yesterday that was still going when it hit 469 feet.

Also mentioned were Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello's in-game spitting incident and articles indicating the Steelers fanbase's disinterest in Aaron Rodgers.
We started the hour talking about baseball and the A.L. East. The Yankees should win it, but Dani is a little concerned with their bullpen. Giancarlo Stanton should be returning soon and they are going to work him into the lineup, but where?
A's outfielder Denzel Clarke made an amazing catch over the wall in center. The announcers went nuts. Bill Simmons thinks Kevin Durant to the Spurs is already done, but it's just his opinion he said. The Panthers beat the Oilers to take a 2-1 lead in the Stanley Cup Finals. A 9-year old fan after the game said her favorite part was the fighting and the players punching each other in the face.
Jerry and Dani Wexelman are in for B&G and start this hour with the Knicks coaching situation, and it seems we now know they had no plan when they fired Thibs. Jerry wonders why Jason Kidd would want the Knicks job, and why the Dallas Mavericks would let him interview. This all seems to have come down to exit interviews with the players after the season.
Jerry asks Dani questions about the staff to see how much she knows about us after only 3 hours.
A woman who worked at Disney and dressed as characters tells us that guys can get creepy sometimes. A caller wants career advice from Dani. Anthony in Belleville has a good baseball nickname for Dani.
C-Lo previews the Mets and Yankees for tonight as they were both off last night. The Phillies finally won, beating the Cubs in 11. Denzel Clarke made an amazing catch over the wall in center.

Hour 1 Boomer's flight to Cincinnati for a Kenny Anderson event was canceled due to a lightning strike, preventing him from attending. Meanwhile, the Knicks' coaching search continues, with Jason Kidd and Michael Malone being considered. The recent developments suggest James Dolan's decision to fire Thibs was impulsive. In sports news, the Red Sox defeated the Yankees with five home runs, despite two from Aaron Judge, and swept the series. The Yankees' X (Twitter) account used a Brandon Tierney song without credit. The Mets swept the Rockies, with two homers each from Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil; Alonso surpassed David Wright on the Mets' all-time home run list, earning Wright's congratulations. Finally, the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry made headlines when rookie pitcher Hunter Dobbins stated he'd retire rather than play for the Yankees. This prompted Boomer to recall his own refusal to play for the Colts after their move from Baltimore due to its impact on his college community in Maryland. Hour 2 Pete Alonso, now second on the Mets' all-time home run list, is only under contract for the current season. Listeners speculated the Knicks' success might be due to James Dolan's focus on The Sphere, while others called in about the Mets' strong start. Boomer, and several callers, questioned the seemingly endless supply of cows and chickens for food. Jerry then reported on the Yankees' loss to the Red Sox, despite two homers from Aaron Judge, and the Mets' sweep of the Rockies, featuring two home runs each from Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil. The segment concluded with discussions about Aaron Rodgers seemingly being the Steelers' third-choice and Jaxson Dart's slim chances of playing this year, alongside more calls about American burger consumption. Hour 3 Bad Weather Fans' post about no new "Roommates" podcast sparked Gio's observation that no Knicks players or management have commented on Thibs' firing. This silence, he reasoned, allows for rampant speculation, aligning with the Knicks' history of firing coaches still under contract. Jerry then updated the sports news: Boston hit five homers to beat the Yankees, despite two from Aaron Judge; Pete Alonso's two home runs helped the Mets sweep the Rockies, pushing him past David Wright on the Mets' all-time list; and the Thunder evened their series with the Pacers at 1-1. The hour concluded with more discussion about American hamburger consumption and the theory that James Dolan fired Thibs after sitting in on player interviews. Hour 4 Boomer and Gio's planned boat day was thwarted by bad weather, leading them to consider golf instead. A caller deemed Derek Jeter the most "boring" athlete to interview. Before Jerry's final update, Boomer shared his new green drink from Chris Wragge's wife. Jerry then played audio of Jazz Chisholm's mic'd-up error. In sports, Aaron Judge hit two homers in a Yankees loss, while Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso each hit two as the Mets swept the Rockies. The Giants' defensive coordinator wants his players to emulate pirates for turnovers, and the Thunder evened their series with the Pacers. The show concluded with a caller's story about a woman with E. coli in her sinuses and a discussion of potential Knicks coaching candidates.
