Boomer & Gio

Hear from the best guests on The FAN this week, including Alex Rodriguez Aaron Boone (24:50), Dana White (43:05), Suzyn Waldman (1:23:07).

The Yankees keep rolling and it's making Evan Roberts sick. Plus, Chris McMonigle and Craig Carton compare this start to the 1998 Yankees (24:30); Evan, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash on the Spencer Jones call-up and Jasson Dominguez injury (33:53); Gregg Giannotti says this is the perfect situation for Jones (50:24); Alex Rodriguez joins Craig Carton and C-Mac to talk John Sterling, Yankees, and more (58:15); Evan, Tiki, and Shaun reflect on the Sterling tribute and bigger picture for the Yanks (1:23:04).

The Mets have won consecutive series, but entered Friday tied for the worst record in baseball. Could this team really be in a "competitive rebuild" with a $386 million payroll? Boomer and Gio sound off on the terminology used by team brass, while Craig Carton hated the vocabulary used by Gary Cohen to describe Carson Benge's sparkling catch. Plus, Evan Roberts sounds off on the New York Post report about the meeting between Stearns and Pete Alonso.

As the Knicks and Sixers battle through their second-round series, our hosts battle against the city of Philadelphia. Tiki Barber ripped Joel Embiid for his postgame comments, and he got heat from hosts in the City of Brotherly Love. Craig Carton also went off on the Sixers star, and Craig and C-Mac welcomed John Starks to talk about this Knicks team and their potential to win a championship.

Boomer & Gio reminisce about the late John Sterling. Plus, the guys react to a budding feud between Tiki Barber and Hugh Douglas over Joel Embiid (9:26); Gio on why now is the perfect time for Spencer Jones to make his MLB debut (16:36); Gio believes LeBron James will retire after the NBA playoffs (24:27); Gio, Chris Lopresti, and Jerry Recco react to Asante Samuel's defense of Mike Vrabel (34:38).

With Boomer out, Gio and Jerry cover the Knicks' injury status and the Yankees calling up Spencer Jones for Jasson Dominguez before diving into the Mets' loss and the Mike Vrabel drama. Between tracking the government's delayed UFO files and Asante Samuel's viral defense of "side chicks," we hit on Chris Russo's pronunciation struggles and Gio's review of the show Neighbors. The day wraps with Jon Heyman's Mets/Alonso story, a debate on bald-head aesthetics, and C-Lo's golf-ball-catching claim, plus a Moment of the Day on pregnant women and a TikToker who pranks strangers by pretending to know them.

With Boomer out, Gio and Jerry break down the Knicks dodging a bullet with OG Anunoby, who likely sits tonight as they handle the Sixers. We look ahead at other NBA matchups. C-Lo updates OG's status, followed by Dave Sims' call of Trent Grisham's big double and Jasson Dominguez heading to the IL. Finally, the Mets lose to the Rockies on a grand-slam, and we dive into what's left to learn about the Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel situation.

The Yankees are calling up Spencer Jones, a move Gio calls great timing since the rolling team doesn't need a savior. After an 83-year-old calls to thank Jerry for his prostate drink, C-Lo returns as the crew marks Eddie's final Fridays before his "Kickoff To Summer" departure. We cover the Yankees' win, Bellinger's hitting, and the audio of Dominguez hitting the wall, followed by the Mets grand slam loss to the Rockies. Finally, Asante Samuel defends Mike Vrabel on X, leading Jerry to question Vrabel's future authority while a caller suggests players might love him more because "she's a smokeshow."

The government is running late on its promised UFO file release, while Gio dives into the series ‘Neighbors' and its old naked people. As C-Lo returns for an update and Gio continues his search for the alien intel, we hear Asante Samuel defend Mike Vrabel by claiming every man deserves a wife and a girlfriend. After revisiting the Rockies' grand slam that looked foul and Chris Russo's struggle to pronounce Cam Schlittler's name, we close with a look at the government's underwhelming UFO photos and videos, plus the careless people who caught the hantavirus.

Jerry weeds through government UFO videos as the guys tackle Jon Heyman's Mets article about Pete Alonso & the Mets. C-Lo shares Hugh Douglas's reaction to Tiki's Joel Embiid comments. After debating bald-head aesthetics and Shaun Morash's thick skin, we revisit the Rockies' fair-pole grand slam and C-Lo's claim he can catch a 300-yard golf drive. Finally, the Moment of the Day features a caller's attraction to pregnant women before we close the week with a TikToker who pranks strangers by pretending to know them.

The Moment of The Day: A caller finds pregnant women very attractive. Also, there's a TikTok account of a guy who goes up to strangers and tells them a story, pretending to know them.

Jon Heyman had an article about the Mets and Alonso. We discuss.

Plus, the grand slam that wasn't but actually was.

We are supposed to be getting some UFO/Alien files from the government and we got nothing so far. Gio also talked about the series called ‘Neighbors' and all the old naked people.

Asante Samuel took to X to defend Vrabel about ‘side chicks'. Jerry wonders how Vrabel will be an authority figure to young men with this on his record.

Gio thinks it's great timing as the Yankees are rolling right now so he's not expected to show up and save the team. An 83 year old man called in to thank Jerry for his prostate drink.

C-Lo starts with the OG injury and how he is questionable for tonight. We heard Dave Sims on the call as Trent Grisham had a bases clearing double in the win over the Rangers. Jasson Dominguez made a great catch but crashed into the wall and headed to the IL. We heard the sounds of the Mets losing to the Rockies on a grand slam.

The Knicks dodged a bullet with the OG Anunoby injury. He likely won't play tonight and may not play in the rest of this series because of how much better the Knicks are than the Sixers.

The Knicks take a 2-0 series lead as injury concerns mount for OG Anunoby, while Ryan Weathers' sudden illness and John Morgan's macabre memorabilia collection lead into a fiery clash between Tiki Barber and Hugh Douglas. From the $45 "Glizzilla" hot dog and Armenian captive bear PSAs to Shaun Morash's Mexican food rankings and New Jersey's rabid beavers, the show balances playoff drama with the absurd. Also, the Mets' winning streak, the debut of Derek Fisher's LA radio show, and the hilarious phone number mix-up that landed a total stranger in the Ryder Cup team's group chat.

The Knicks take Game 2 against a faster Embiid-less Sixers, but OG Anunoby's hamstring issue has Gio questioning New York's championship ceiling. Ryan Weathers is out for the Yankees after a sudden illness sparked a "hantavirus" debate, while Jerry provides updates on Jalen Brunson's big shot and the NBA playoffs. After a look at the Mets' win, the Yankees' loss to Texas, and a Pete Alonso homer, the hour wraps with Audacy's new LA sports station featuring Derek Fisher—and Gio wondering just how long the former coach will last in morning radio.

The Knicks face uncertainty with injuries to OG Anunoby, followed by a look at John Morgan's macabre memorabilia collection and the world of crime museums. After a caller highlights some bad seats at the Garden, Jerry recaps the war of words between Tiki Barber and Hugh Douglas over Joel Embiid. We wrap up with the Sixers' latest betting odds and the "nightmare" teen chaos at a New Jersey carnival.

Ballpark food goes viral as Steve Gelbs and Keith Hernandez share the Rockies' $45 Glizzilla, followed by a look at Joel Embiid's injuries and a PSA for Armenian captive bears. After discussing how the show first formed, Jerry recaps the Knicks' 2-0 series lead and the wait for news on OG Anunoby's hamstring. We wrap up with Shaun Morash's Mexican food rankings, a Mets win sparked by Juan Soto, and a look toward Kickoff To Summer as Eddie counts down his final days.

Gio examines New Jersey's rabid beavers and our upcoming MLB store remote, followed by calls on animal-free circuses and a viral Puerto Rico song. Jerry recaps Stu Feiner's game show antics and the Knicks taking a 2-0 lead, with Mike Brown providing an OG Anunoby injury update and Jaylen-themed songs for the NBA and NHL. We wrap up with the Mets' win, the Yankees' loss, and Hugh Douglas calling out Tiki Barber before a phone number mix-up lands a stranger in the Ryder Cup group chat.

Sounds of the Knicks beating the Sixers to take a 2-0 series lead and Mike Brown after the game about OG Anunoby's potential injury. Jerry plays the ‘Jaylen' song about all the Jaylens in the NBA. He then plays another song about there only being one Jaylen in the NHL. The Mets beat the Rockies for their third straight as Carson Benge has started to heat up offensively and Marcus Semien had 4 hits, Dave Sims on the call as the Yankees lost to the Rangers. The Moment of The Day: Hugh Douglas responds to Tiki, calls him out for Kinky Boots.

There are rabid beavers in a lake in NJ and Gio watched videos of this. We also talked about the remote we're having at the MLB store in NYC on Friday, May 15th. A caller said he went to the circus and there are no animals in the circus now or clowns.

Jerry has Mike Breen on the call as the Knicks beat the Sixers to take a 2-0 series lead. Mike Brown gave credit in particular to Mikal Bridges. Hopefully we get an update on OG Anunoby and his potential hamstring injury. Shaun Morash did a top 5 Mexican foods and sour cream was number five. The Mets beat the Rockies as Juan Soto led the game off with a HR.

All the ballparks now have a viral food item that they sell. The Rockies have a $45 hotdog called the Glizzilla, and last night Steve Gelbs and Keith Hernandez shared one...Lady & The Tramp style. Plus, a caller on the Embiid injury.

Jerry returns for an update and starts with Tiki Barber telling Joel Embiid to ‘stop being a bitch'. Former NFL player and WIP host Hugh Douglas responded to those comments. He brought up Tiki wearing ‘red kinky boots'. The Sixers are favored by 1 tomorrow night.

If the injury is serious (and we don't know anything as of this broadcast), this puts the Knicks in a serious bind because of what a catalyst he is on the court.

Jerry starts with the sounds of Jalen Brunson's big shot in the fourth. Mike Brown talked about the Sixers' adjustments in this game. Jerry went around the NBA playoffs last night. The Mets beat the Rockies as Marcus Semien had 4 hits including a HR. The Yankees lost to the Rangers as Nathan Eovaldi threw 8 innings of 3 hit ball. Jerry went around MLB last night including a HR for Pete Alonso.

OG Anunoby left with a hamstring injury and Gio said they are not a championship team without him. He is very concerned for the Knicks if he is going to be out for the next round.

We wrap with the Moment of the Day featuring Boomer's Imus-like look and a debate on Colt McCoy's potential as a commencement speaker.

Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with a preview of Knicks/Sixers for tonight. The Yankees beat the Rangers and we heard Dave Sims on the call as Jazz Chisholm homered.
