With Boomer out, Gio & Jerry dive into a wild MLB trade deadline—from the Yankees acquiring Luis Garcia Jr. and the Mets shipping Freddy Peralta, to Tarik Skubal's bargain deal with the Dodgers fueling lockout conspiracy theories. The guys react to CBS's shock suspension of Tony Romo for JJ Watt and debate if Jerry Jones will step in, while briefly touching on WFAN's studio pipe disaster, '86 Mets nostalgia, potential Phillies drama, and Joe Benigno waking Gio up in tighty whities!

With Boomer out today, Gio & Jerry kick off the show breaking down the Yankees trading for Luis Garcia Jr., followed by Gio poking fun at the Mets shipping Peralta to a contending Rays team. They dive right into Tarik Skubal's cheap trade to the Dodgers and the wild conspiracy that owners engineered it to help trigger a lockout. C-Lo takes over for updates with the Yankees beating the Cubs, Gerrit Cole blaming the wind, and Aaron Boone declaring Garcia Jr. "rakes." To wrap up the hour, the guys rank how the visiting '86 Mets are looking, hear from Skubal on leaving Detroit, and react to Boomer texting the group that he was in a "four day viral coma."

Gio loves seeing the ‘86 Mets, but not in the middle of a horrendous season, though Jerry loved their throwback video and noted Jamie-Lynn Sigler is married to Lenny Dykstra's son. Ray Knight's SNY appearance brought up a past domestic dispute. Also, a debate on whether Bob Murphy or Vin Scully owns the iconic Mookie/Buckner call. C-Lo returns with updates from the Yankees beating the Cubs, including Austin Wells honoring Thurman Munson on the 47th anniversary of his death. To wrap up the hour, the guys react to Joe Buck's surprisingly annoyed radio call of the Buckner error and field a caller questioning why Mets Twitter thanked Freddy Peralta.

WFAN's hallway construction brings loud on-air drilling and a chaotic weekend pipe break that flooded the station with brown water, followed by a chat about a naked man surviving a jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. C-Lo returns for an update right after Gio recalls Joe B waking him up in tighty whities, leading into Dave Sims calling the Yankees' win over the Cubs, Gerrit Cole forgetting he ever faced Luis Garcia Jr., and a fan offering to drive Geno Smith. To close out the hour, Gio brings up rare tick-borne diseases on Long Island before the guys tackle women's love for wearing spandex.

With CBS indefinitely suspending Tony Romo and naming JJ Watt as his replacement, the guys wonder if influential NFL power player Jerry Jones will step in to ask CBS to give Romo another chance. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day right after a quick chat about cottage cheese, leading into sounds from Mookie Wilson on clutch moments with the '86 Mets and Tarik Skubal on being traded to the Dodgers. The crew then breaks down Pete Crow-Armstrong's podcast claim that Babe Ruth never existed, debates whether shampoo is necessary over a plain bar of soap, and highlights the Moment of the Day featuring Joe Benigno waking Gio up in tighty whities. To close out the show, they explore what happens if the Phillies flame out this season, focusing on the dynamic between Bryce Harper, Don Mattingly, and the front office.

CBS has suspended Tony Romo indefinitely and already named JJ Watt as his replacement. We wonder if Jerry Jones will give CBS a call to help him out.

Gio tells us the time Joe B woke him up in a hotel wearing just tighty whities. Then Jerry brings up a story about human gas being passed and then that becomes a topic.

The noise in the halls around WFAN is getting a bit much. You can even hear the drilling over the studio mics. Also, some disturbed man, naked, jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge and lived. So there's that, too.

C-Lo back with more of the Yankees beating the Cubs & the Mets doing what they do. Austin Wells talked about his tribute to Thurman Munson as it was the 47th anniversary of his death. We listened to the Joe Buck radio call of Mookie/Buckner and he sounded annoyed that the Mets won to force a game seven.

Gio loves seeing the ‘86 Mets, but not in the midst of a horrendous year. Jerry loved the video they showed looking back on that season.

C-Lo's first update of the day includes the Yankees beating the Cubs and Gerrit Cole talking about the wind affecting pitching. Aaron Boone was asked about Garcia Jr and said, ‘he rakes'. We talked about the ‘86 Mets who were in town and which guys looked good and which guys didn't. We heard from Tarik Skubal about leaving Detroit.

Trades, trades and more trades. Yanks get Garcia, Jr. Mets hand Peralta to Rays. Dodgers keep dodgering.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle debate over the potential impact John Harbaugh will have on the Giants. Plus, reaction to Malik Nabers starting camp completely off the PUP list (23:55); Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash on if it's playoffs or bust for the Giants (32:30); Evan argues the Giants should sign Vita Vea (50:03)

Tiki Barber is already putting Geno Smith on notice, declaring that Cade Klubnik should get the QB1 if he outplays the veteran in training camp and the preseason. Plus, Evan and Tiki can already see the Jets' use of AI going hilariously wrong. Boomer and Gio wonder if Aaron Glenn's job is tied to how Geno performs this season, and The Carton Show reacts to Plaxico Burress comparing playing for the Jets to being in prison.

Gregg Giannotti has had enough of the Aaron Boone criticism when it is never followed by any kind of praise. He says Boone's critics who also rip the Yankees' use of analytics need to be consistent in their arguments. Plus, Evan Roberts says vintage Gerrit Cole has returned, and the rest of the American League should be scared. Chris McMonigle calls for Brian Cashman to stack the deck with pitching if there isn't a significant bat available at the trade deadline, and Boomer and Gio wonder why Boone doesn't have better odds to win Manager of the Year.

Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti ponder if Aaron Boone should be Manager of the Year due to all the injuries. Meanwhile, callers blame Boone for taking Cam Schlittler out too early Wednesday night (9:16). Plus, Boomer & Gio on a potential Tarik Skubal trade to the Dodgers and its lockout implications (18:44); looking ahead to the Jets future under Aaron Glenn (27:03); reaction to the Tony Romo bodycam footage (35:42); should Knicks be worried about LeBron on the Sixers? (44:58).

With Boomer out, Gio and Jerry kick off with MLB trade deadline fallout and fishy secrecy around Kyle Shanahan's accident before slamming the Jets' terrible QB backup plan. The guys dive into household TV habits, Macho Man nostalgia, Jerry's 2 a.m. alarm songs, and callers getting arrested for unpaid parking tickets. Packed with C-Lo updates spanning baseball highlights, an X crypto scam, and wild NFL soundbites from Baker Mayfield and Jeremy Shockey, the show wraps with a look back at Gio's bad mustache and his weekend playing bass with Jimmy & The Parrots.

Boomer is out, so Gio and Jerry kick off with the MLB trade deadline and how a Dodgers move for Tarik Skubal could spark a lockout. C-Lo steps in with updates on Jazz Chisholm's rundown and cramps, plus Jasson Dominguez oversliding a triple. Next up, the Mets beat the Marlins, the guys reject Nolan McLean's mustache, and AJ Minter gets traded to the Twins. Finally, Rob Saleh is asked about Fireman Ed, Gio questions the Titans' coach, and fishy police secrecy surrounds the Kyle Shanahan accident.

The Jets are running a terrible backup plan behind Geno Smith, relying on fourth-round rookie Cade Klubnik, Bailey Zappe, and Brady Cook. C-Lo returns with updates on Cruz walking in the White Sox win in eleven, a pissed-off Aaron Boone, and Luis Robert Jr lifting the Mets past the Marlins. Plus, Mookie Wilson admits on the Carton show he didn't want to be up in big spots, and Gio claims Rami's day off to see Mumford & Sons was a total weather bust.

Gio breaks down his household TV habits—including secretly finishing Netflix's Toxic Love Story—before Jerry recalls Macho Man Slim Jim ads, Gio skips summer hot dogs, and compares wives to cadaver dogs. C-Lo returns with updates from Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick, Aaron Glenn on Frank Reich, Malik Nabers, Vic Fangio pleading the fifth, Nick Sirianni hyping the Eagles, and Evan Roberts calling camera speeding tickets cheating. Finally, the hour wraps on an X scam using fake podcast votes to steal accounts and sell crypto.

We start with Jerry's 2 a.m. alarm songs, followed by what happens with unpaid parking tickets and callers who were actually arrested for them. C-Lo returns with updates on Baker Mayfield feeling disrespected by the Bucs, Jeremy Shockey telling Shannon Sharpe about getting a vasectomy as an NFL rookie, and Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald calling Hard Knocks a gift from the football gods. Finally, the Moment of the Day remembers Gio's bad mustache, and the week wraps with Gio talking about playing bass with Jimmy & The Parrots over the weekend.

James Dolan was on a conference call for his Sphere company and started talking Knicks for some reason. Also, a flashback to an awkward John Sterling moment. Plus, Moment of the Day featuring Gio's one-day mustache.

What happens if you have a bunch of unpaid parking tickets? We talked to a bunch of people that were arrested for unpaid tickets.

Minkah Fitzpatrick of the Jets on wanting the fans to be proud. Aaron Glenn said it's a luxury to have Frank Reich there. Malik Nabers said he has high standards for himself. Vic Fangio took the fifth like Dr. Fauci at the press conference. We heard Nick Sirianni trying to pump up the Eagles players. We heard Evan Roberts talking about getting speeding tickets, all from cameras, which he thinks is cheating.

A portion of this morning was spent discussing the "dirty soda" phenomenon, a call about a wife not thanking a husband for actually doing something, and Gio remarking about the ability of wives to notice changes in the home.

C-Lo's got the sounds of Cruz walking in a run to seal the White Sox win in eleven. Aaron Boone was pissed after the game about not scoring. Luis Robert Jr had the go ahead 2-run single as the Mets beat the Marlins. Mookie Wilson was on the Carton show and said he didn't want to be up in a big spot.

Rookie Cade Klubnik is the backup right now. He's a fourth round draft pick. Their other QBs right now are Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook. If Geno stinks or gets hurt, this is a big problem.

We've got C-Lo's first update that starts with Jazz Chisholm getting in a rundown. He also left with cramps. The Mets beat the Marlins and we talked about Nolan McLean's mustache, which we don't seem to like. The Mets traded AJ Minter to the Twins. Rob Saleh was asked if he talked about beating the Jets to Fireman Ed. Gio wonders why everyone thinks he's going to be a good coach with the Titans.

If the Dodgers get Tarik Skubal and win another World Series, this is going to help the chances of there being a lockout.

Al & Jerry: We answer all of your questions!

With Boomer and Rami out, Gio and Jerry hold down the show starting with the Yankees' brutal extra-innings loss, Aaron Boone pulling Cam Schlittler, and Ali Sanchez's game-ending pickoff blunder. C-Lo drops in throughout the morning to cover legal reactions to Tony Romo's OWI lie, NFL soundbites from Aaron Glenn and Josh Allen, and WNBA media drama. Topping it off, the guys dive into Gio's "Bababooey" Ann Liguori saga, golf ball mishaps, movie disguises like Soul Man, terrible Bills jerseys, and Rami taking the day off for a Cape Cod concert.

With Boomer out, Gio & Jerry open with fan outrage over Aaron Boone pulling Cam Schlittler, though Gio insists calling to fire Boone is lazy if analytics are really to blame. C-Lo drops in for his first update featuring Positive Tommy defending Boone, audio of Ali Sanchez's disastrous 11th-inning pickoff throw that handed the White Sox a win, Boone's demand to "play catch better," and a Spencer Jones three-run homer. Rounding out the hour, Aaron Glenn drops the hype speeches to focus on improving without being a "butt-hole," Jaxson Dart reacts to getting Malik Nabers back, and Niko runs the board for the first time with Boomer and Rami away.

Gio breaks down legal opinions on Tony Romo's OWI situation—specifically his lie to police about visiting deceased grandparents, though lawyers doubt he'll be found guilty. Next, C-Lo returns with updates on the Yankees' 12-inning loss to the White Sox, highlighting Ali Sanchez's game-losing 11th-inning pickoff attempt, Cam Schlittler being pulled in the seventh despite pitching well, and Aaron Boone shutting down further Giancarlo Stanton questions. Then, Jerry dismisses Don Mattingly's frustration over Bryce Harper's trade deadline comments as making something out of nothing. Finally, the hour wraps up with quick hits on terrible alternate Bills uniforms, armpit sweat stains, and Jerry feeling fat in photos.

We open with Gio's "Bababooey" Ann Liguori story, sparking calls about the ethics of laughing at golf ball hits, a caller who claims Ann didn't tip him as a caddie, and personal stories of golf ball mishaps. C-Lo returns for an update—first replaying the "Bababooey" call to Ann, followed by audio of Morash arguing with a caller over an 0-2 Giants squad facing the Titans in Week 3, classic audio of C-Lo going off-script, and Carson Benge's go-ahead RBI in game one of the doubleheader. Finally, the hour wraps up with a look at how WNBA media coverage rarely focuses on the actual games, highlighting a Seattle Storm co-owner confronting teen girls holding a sign supporting Sophie Cunningham's stance against trans men in women's sports.

We open with a discussion on odd movies featuring race and gender disguises like Soul Man. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day, covering the Yankees' extra-innings loss sparked by Ali Sanchez's costly 11th-inning pickoff attempt, Joe Girardi's shock at Michael Kay stirring tea with his sunglasses, Garrett Wilson forecasting a special year for the Jets, Aaron Glenn insisting he's not trying to be "a butt-hole," Brian Burns reflecting on West Virginia after Giants practice, John Harbaugh's squad singing "Take Me Home, Country Roads," and Josh Allen telling fans to stop hating on the jerseys. Finally, the Moment of the Day breaks down a bizarre caller coincidence with Ann Liguori and a "Bababooey" call, before wrapping up with Rami taking the day off to catch Mumford & Sons at the Audacy Beach House in Cape Cod.

We talked about odd movies where men are pretending to be women.

C-Lo starts with Morash fighting with a caller about the Titans coming in to play the Giants in week3 if the Giants are 0-2. We then heard old audio of C-Lo going off script and it not going well. Carson Benge had the go ahead RBI in game 1 of the doubleheader.

Callers describe golf balls in their lives that have been unintentional weapons.

C-Lo's back with the Yankees losing to the White Sox in 12 innings. Cam Schlittler pitched well but was pulled in the seventh. Aaron Boone has had enough with the Giancarlo Stanton questions. Don Mattingly was not happy with Bryce Harper's comments about the trade deadline. Jerry said Mattingly is making something out of nothing.

He told the cops he was going to see his grandparents, but they have passed away, so that was a lie.

C-Lo starts with Positive Tommy saying nice things about Aaron Boone. We heard the sounds of Ali Sanchez trying to pick a guy off at third in the eleventh inning with the lead which resulted in the White Sox winning the game. Spencer Jones hit a 3-run HR in the first. Aaron Glenn just wants the Jets to improve. He also said, ‘I'm not trying to be a butt-hole'. Jaxson Dart talked about having Malik Nabers back.

Yanks fans were furious for him taking Cam Schlittler out yesterday when he was pitching well. Gio said you can't blame Aaron Boone if you also blame analytics.
