Hour 1 Today on the show, Gio and Jerry are filling in for Boomer, who's at Joe Burrow's golf tournament in Cincinnati. Gio wants Jerry to wear the Celtics jersey to tease Boomer. The new Pope being a Villanova graduate and its connection to the "Villanova Knicks" was also mentioned. Before his update, C-Lo discussed the Five Borough Bike Tour and his Rangers podcast with Boomer, noting his hiccups are gone. The show previewed Knicks/Celtics game 3 and touched on the Timberwolves evening their series with the Warriors, including Draymond Green's comments about media portrayal. The Oilers' 2-0 series lead against the Golden Knights was noted. The hour ended with a discussion about seagulls at the Vatican signaling the new Pope. Hour 2 Gio discussed a potentially embarrassing video revealing the Giants' desire to trade up for Cam Ward, questioning how Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart might feel. Jerry argued that as the #1 pick, they shouldn't be offended, but Gio suggested young players' egos might take it differently. Despite the tough NFC East and a challenging schedule where they might be underdogs in every game, Jerry is taking the over on 5.5 Giants wins. Before C-Lo's update, Eddie from Commack, the Mets fan pictured at the Vatican, called in. The conversation then shifted to the new Pope, with Evan Roberts linking Jalen Brunson beyond the Villanova connection, and clips of Chris Russo breaking down the new Pope. Finally, a self-proclaimed #1 Al Dukes fan shared a "Cinco de Five-0" about Al, followed by Jerry's own list of Al's annoying habits. Hour 3 Gio noted the Knicks would feel great up 3-0 but are still in a good position at 2-1, despite being underdogs. Jerry is wearing a Celtics jersey in Boomer's chair to annoy him over his Nets fandom. The conversation touched on George Pickens joining the Cowboys and the challenge for Dak Prescott managing him and Cee Dee Lam b. They took Knicks calls regarding game 3, and Gio mentioned a new Black Mirror episode. Caller Tracy asked if Gio and Jerry played sports growing up. C-Lo's update included Paul Pierce not walking barefoot to work as promised after the Knicks' win, Boston sports radio dismissing the Knicks as "trash," an usher trying to remove Knicks fans, and Dave Portnoy calling them "despicable." The hour concluded with Jerry announcing a charity golf tournament on August 18th in Marlboro, NJ, and a mention of a pro-am involving Kevin Costner. Hour 4 Pablo Torre reported that Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, is banned from UNC facilities, prompting Gio to comment on how attractiveness can influence tolerance for "crazy." C-Lo's final update included sounds of the Timberwolves' win over the Warriors, Charles Barkley criticizing players for being "wussies," the Oilers' OT win against the Golden Knights, and the Rangers introducing Mike Sullivan as coach. Clips featured Chris Russo "ranking Popes" and Julian Edelman noting Belichick becoming a distraction after preaching against them. Abdul Carter will wear #51 in rookie camp (potentially changing), and Rafael Devers is resisting the Red Sox's suggestion to play first base. The Moment of the Day was Chris Russo breaking down the new Pope. Gio concluded the week discussing Mother's Day pressure, stating that morning golf is unacceptable.

The Moment of the Day was Chris Russo breaking down the new Pope. Gio concluded the week discussing Mother's Day pressure, stating that morning golf is unacceptable.

Breaking news from Pablo Torre said Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, has been banned from UNC facilities. Gio said you will deal with a level of crazy depending on how good looking the person is. The Belichick story is one of the most wild of all that has gone on.

C-Lo starts with Paul Pierce claiming he walked to work like he said he would after the Knicks beat Boston. He didn't do it barefoot like he said he would. Sports radio in Boston said they're not taking the Knicks seriously, ‘and the Knicks still blow'. He also called the Knicks ‘trash'. We heard an usher in Boston trying to get Knicks fans to leave the arena. Dave Portnoy called Knicks fans ‘despicable'.

Gio said if the Knicks go up 3-0 you feel great about moving on. If they lose, they are still up 2-1 in the series. The Knicks are still an underdog. Jerry is wearing a Celtics jersey sitting in Boomer's chair this morning just because Boomer has been so annoying to Jerry because he's a Nets fan. We also talked about George Pickens joining the Cowboys. Dak Prescott will now have to keep both Pickens and Cee Dee Lamb happy. We got back to some Knicks calls about tomorrow's game 3.

Chris Russo had a guest on to break down the new Pope and C-Lo has all the clips.

Gio said another potentially embarrassing video for the Giants has emerged on how they wanted to trade up and get Cam Ward. Gio wonders how Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart feel about that. Jerry said since he was the #1 pick, those guys shouldn't be insulted about that at all. Gio thinks the young players think so highly of themselves they could be offended at that. The Giants right now appear to be the worst team in the NFC East, but Jerry said you have to keep in mind it's a great division. The Giants' scheduled opponents look really tough, especially at home. They may not be favored in a single game. Jerry is taking the over on 5.5 wins for the Giants.

We start with a preview of Knicks/Celtics game 3 tomorrow at the Garden. By the way, C-Lo no longer has the hiccups. The Timberwolves evened the series at one with a win over the Warriors. Draymond Green told the media he is ‘not an angry black man' and is sick of the media's agenda. The Oilers beat the Golden Knights to go up 2-0 in that series.

Boomer is out today at the Joe Burrow golf tournament in Cincinnati, so it's Gio and Jerry. We finally got the Celtics jersey to put in the freezer, but we don't think we should do anything with it since things are going so well for the Knicks and we don't want to jinx anything. Gio wants Jerry to wear the jersey just to annoy Boomer if he puts the show on while he's in Cincinnati. He decided to wear it because of all the shots Boomer takes at Jerry over him being a Nets fan. We talked about the new Pope being a Villanova graduate and how that relates to the Villanova Knicks.

Hour 1 The Knicks won Game 2 on the road with another 20-point comeback as Celtics' shooting went cold, a "double punch" according to Gio. Knicks are undefeated on the road in the playoffs but have home losses heading back to MSG. Jerry's update included Kevin Harlan's call, Josh Hart on doing "little things," Mitchell Robinson feeling like a threat, and Charles Barkley wanting a night game for the Knicks on Saturday. We also heard MSG fan chants about Boston. Elsewhere, the Thunder scored 149 to even their series with the Nuggets, the Yankees won in the 10th after being no-hit into the seventh, and Juan Soto hit two homers in the Mets' win. Gio recounted his near miss at playing in the Creators Classic. The hour ended with Knicks fan calls. Hour 2 The Knicks repeated their Game 1 road win in Boston, coming back from 20 down as the Celtics' shooting faltered late. Despite the stat favoring teams up 2-0 on the road, Boomer is hesitant. Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson are playing well. Gio praised Karl-Anthony Towns' early performance. A 72-year-old caller hopes for another Knicks championship. Boomer shared an Instagram tip for checking hotel bedbugs, contrasting with Gio's towel-less, "sketchy" hotel stay due to budget constraints. Jerry's update featured Paul Pierce's confident prediction of a Celtics win (and subsequent barefoot robe walk promise), Celtics radio's reaction to a Bridges steal, and Karl-Anthony Towns on team unity. The Yankees beat the Padres with a Trent Grisham homer. The hour ended with Boomer and C-Lo's Rangers podcast, noting C-Lo's smaller picture. Hour 3 The Knicks secured another 20-point comeback win in Boston, mirroring Game 1. Callers discussed the Celtics potentially intentionally fouling Mitchell Robinson and the perspective of only watching the fourth quarter (Boomer disagreed with this approach). Another caller cautioned against premature celebration due to the Knicks' home losses. Jerry's update featured Shaq praising their "old school" style, and a Boston show likened the Knicks to "cockroaches" positively. The Yankees beat the Padres after Bellinger's seventh-inning homer, with Devin Williams' strong tenth. The Mets won in Arizona, highlighted by Jeff McNeil's triple and Juan Soto's two home runs. The hour concluded with enthusiastic Knicks callers, one anticipating a 3-0 lead and another questioning the sustainability of their comeback wins. Hour 4 Former Islander Josh Bailey called in to clarify Boomer's janitor comment from yesterday. The show then focused on Knicks callers, one noting the sportsbooks still have even odds for the Celtics to win the series. Jerry's final update included highlights of the Knicks' Boston win (with Kevin Harlan), the Yankees' sac-fly victory over the Padres, and Juan Soto's two homers in the Mets' Arizona win. The Moment of the Day featured Boomer discussing golf with John McEnroe (and being mocked). The hour concluded with a preview of Saturday afternoon's Game 3 at the Garden.

The Moment of the Day featured Boomer discussing golf with John McEnroe (and being mocked). The hour concluded with a preview of Saturday afternoon's Game 3 at the Garden.

We got back to the full rack of callers that wanted to talk about the Knicks. One caller said the sports books are not giving the Knicks any credit as it's still even money for the Celtics to win the series. Gio also pointed out that Boomer simply likes to talk sports incessantly.

The sounds of Kevin Harlan as the Knicks won their second straight in Boston. Shaq talked about the Knicks playing old school basketball. Tommy Lugauer was yelling after the game about people saying the Celtics are playing bad vs praising the Knicks. A show in Boston said the Knicks are like cockroaches (in a complimentary way). Jalen Brunson talked about getting locked in late in games.

A caller asks about the Celtics fouling Mitchell Robinson on purpose as part of their strategy. A woman calls to say her dad only watches starting in the fourth quarter. Boomer said you can't get a feel of the game if you only watch the fourth quarter. A caller said not to celebrate yet, as the Knicks lose at home.

Jerry starts with Paul Pierce ‘putting the house' on the Celtics before game 2. He said he would walk to work barefoot in a robe if the Knicks won game 2. We heard how it sounded on Celtics radio as Bridges had another late steal. Karl-Anthony Towns talked about sticking together when they're down in games.

Gio stayed at a sketchy hotel last night that didn't even provide towels. Mark Chernoff drilled into Gio's brain that he can't spend money on better hotels.

Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with Kevin Harlan on the call as the Knicks took game two. We heard some postgame sound from the players after. Josh Hart said they are doing the little things. Mitchell Robinson feels like a threat because they want him out of the game. Charles Barkley said the Knicks Saturday game should be at night, not 3:30 in the afternoon. We heard from fans outside MSG chanting about Boston. The Thunder scored 149 points to even up the series with the Nuggets. The Yankees were being no-hit into the seventh and won it in the tenth on a sac fly. Juan Soto hit two home runs as the Mets beat Arizona.

The Knicks took game 2 in very similar fashion as they did game 1. In both games they came back down 20 points on the road, and in both games the Celtics went cold shooting. Gio called this a major double punch in the face for the Celtics. It's a make or miss league and right now the Celtics are missing.

A caller said Gio cannot go to a golf event wearing his golf shoes if he's not playing. Gio wants to be ready in case they need him to fill in for someone. We took a lot of calls from people saying it's pathetic for Gio to wear golf shoes to the event he's watching, but he is expected to be an emergency player somehow.

Tom Brady was asked about the sperm race and Jerry played a clip from the news about it.

We previewed Knicks/Boston game 2 tonight. A caller said Karl-Anthony Towns needs to step his game up. Another caller thinks Boomer is being too soft on KAT. Boomer said the team still won, so he's not going to be hard on KAT.

We heard Tyrese Haliburton's huge shot that took down Cleveland in game 2. The Yankees had no problem with the Padres as Austin Wells hit a grand slam.

We get breaking news as the Steelers are trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys. We talked about both the positive and negative impacts this could have to the team. The Steelers are still desperate for a quarterback and Aaron Rodgers is still out there and the owner thinks he's joining the team.
