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.
This week's Mets highlights include another injury to the pitching staff, as Griffin Canning suffered an Achilles injury. 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.

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.
The Yankees beat the Reds as Dominguez went 4-for-5. The Mets beat the Braves and Jeff McNeil made a great play in center, stealing a HR. Juan Soto hit 2 homers. Cooper Flagg was drafted number one last night in the NBA draft. George Kittle was on ‘Bussin with the Boys' and talked about the benefits of the Vasper bike.
There's a story out there about collusion and the NFL in keeping player guarantees lower back in 2022. There are emails back and forth between owners about guaranteed money to players concerning Kyler Murray and Justin Herbert. Supposedly the NFLPA knew this and didn't tell the players.
Jerry 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'.
