Boomer & Gio

Today's show kicks off with Gio and Boomer spotting themselves on Netflix's Quarterback, debating NFL head coach and quarterback dynamics, and digesting ESPN layoff drama, all before Gio details his anxiety over taking his mom to a Broadway play. The guys dive into big headlines as Tom Brady teams up with WWE, LeBron James rumors swirl around Miami, and the Mets capture a win behind big Luis Robert Jr. homers and a bizarre "ruptured testicle" saga that sparked a legendary call from Reggie in Queens. Rounding out the morning, the crew breaks down WFAN's big move to SiriusXM in September, John Harbaugh's reaction to Cam Skattebo's backflip, Patrick Mahomes' return timeline, and Jay Feely's primary victory before taking callers on every wild topic of the day.

Next, the guys imagine how Mike and Dog would handle a ruptured testicle story before taking a delightful call from Reggie in Queens.

Later, John Harbaugh delivers a fiery speech to his players, Rebecca Lowe recounts taking a helicopter from Brooklyn to MetLife Stadium for the World Cup pregame show, and Boomer congratulates Jay Feely on winning a Congressional primary election. Finally, the hour closes on two big NFL questions: will Justin Tucker ever kick again, and will a team sign Stefon Diggs?
