Al & Rami: Get to know our new Board Op, Rami

Today's show comes live from the massive Knicks championship parade, starting with Evan & Tiki's early arrival, Gio's wild crowd commentary, and Jerry's updates on James Dolan's team remarks and Mike Breen's travel woes. As gridlocked crowds peaked, an ESPN reporter's "participation trophy" jab sparked outrage, the Yankees continued beating the White Sox with Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart joining the radio booth, and the guys took a look at the U.S. Open. The show wrapped up with Adam Schein's response to the media critics, JR Smith's revelation that Kyrie Irving ghosted a 2016 Cavs reunion, and calls from frustrated fans locked out of the parade.

The Knicks parade is today with Evan & Tiki broadcasting live, though Gio's bizarre advice to wear adult diapers has everyone talking. Jerry joined for his update, highlighting James Dolan's apology for the team's long wait and his thoughts on NBA salary structures, alongside Mike Breen's unbelievable 28-hour commercial travel nightmare. To wrap up the hour, a listener put the pressure on Gio for a U.S. Open pick.

Mike Breen is MC'ing today's Knicks parade, and with a reported 3 million people already flooding the city, travel and accessibility are non-existent. Jerry stopped by to discuss James Dolan's recent media comments and the absurdity of an ESPN reporter calling the championship a "participation trophy." The Yankees took down the White Sox again with Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart joining the radio booth, but the mood turned chaotic with news of a Knicks player number mix-up at the parade display and a caller's confession about faking an ADA card to infiltrate the event.

Gio kicked things off by questioning if we'll see any "parade-related" deaths or setting the over/under for arrests as the city reaches capacity and closes off access. Jerry checked in on the crowds while discussing James Dolan's take on a White House celebration, followed by another Yankees win over the White Sox sparked by a Paul Goldschmidt homer. We rounded out the hour hearing from listeners caught in the chaos—both those celebrating at the event and those shut out by the massive crowds.

Evan Roberts called in live from his fourth career championship parade before Jerry's final update featured James Dolan reflecting on his ownership tenure, Mike Breen discussing Leon Rose and Jalen Brunson, and Matt Barnes apologizing to Brunson. Next, Brunson and Josh Hart witnessed an Anthony Volpe triple from the Yankees booth, Justin Rose contemplated a U.S. Open win, and Adam Schein blasted the "participation trophy" reporter for the Moment of the Day. Finally, JR Smith revealed Kyrie Irving ghosted the 2016 Cavs' 10-year reunion before a shut-out caller complained about being blocked from the parade.

Jerry's final update of the day and starts with audio of James Dolan on the Carton Show talking about how much he knows now as a longtime owner. Mike Breen also joined the Carton Show and talked about Leon Rose and Jalen Brunson. Matt Barnes said he was wrong about Brunson and he apologized. Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart were in the Yankees radio booth when Anthony Volpe hit a triple. Justin Rose was asked if winning the US Open would elevate his career status.

Jerry says the parade is already full, nobody else will be allowed in. James Dolan was on the Carton Show and was asked about the celebration at the White House. Paul Goldschmidt homered again as the Yankees beat the White Sox again.

Gio wonders if anybody will die at the parade today or if there will be a ‘parade related' death. We also did over/under on arrests.
