Evan Roberts and his co-host, Pete Hoffman, are gearing up for their annual Drunk Rico podcast, a fan-favorite tradition where they record while drinking and reacting to a Mets game. As Evan heads on vacation, the duo plans to continue the podcast, promising a Drunk Rico episode sometime during the Mets' next series. The highlight of the conversation is the annual drunk show, which is a big event for loyal listeners. They decide to schedule the special episode for Tuesday night's game against the Washington Nationals, with the tentative agreement that Pete will try to sneak away from his family trip to Disney World to join in on the fun. Evan reassures listeners that he's a "happy drunk" and the podcast will be filled with laughter and a general sense of jovial misery, rather than an angry, fiery rant.

The Yankees secured two consecutive wins against the Twins. Carlos Rodon overcame an early shaky start to deliver a strong 7-inning performance. Anthony Volpe homered and has improved his season.

Evan Roberts dissects a brutal Sunday loss for the Mets, focusing on a series of critical errors and questionable managerial decisions. He highlights Francisco Lindor's disastrous performance, including a crucial error and multiple failures in key offensive situations, and contrast it with the high expectations set by his previous year's performance. The conversation then shifts to the bullpen's collapse, particularly the ineffective outing by Frankie Montas and the ill-advised use of Ryne Stanek in a high-leverage situation. The hosts argue that manager Mendy's strategy of using an opener and then relying on an already-strained bullpen led directly to the loss, proposing a more aggressive alternative using their top relievers. He concludes by lamenting the Mets' inability to score late in games, calling their offense "heartless and gutless."

Hour 1 - Boomer & Gio are out this week, so Jerry Recco and Willie Colon hosted, starting with the Subway Series, where the Mets nearly beat the Yanks if not for Cody Bellinger's incredible catch. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was tossed arguing bad strike calls, and Pete Alonso is skipping the HR Derby. Juan Soto's All-Star snub was also a topic.

C-Lo's final update focused on the Yankees' win over the Mets, featuring Cody Bellinger's excellent defense. Other topics included Keith Hernandez's recent success with a plunger, Joe Benigno's seemingly too-early 5 AM Saturday show, and "The Moment of The Day" highlighting Al's unplanned Montana trip. The segment concluded with Jerry feeling "fleeced."
Boomer & Gio are out this week so today it's Jerry and Willie Colon. We started with the Subway Series and how the Mets threw out a bunch of no name pitchers to face Max Fried, and it almost worked. If Cody Bellingers doesn't make that amazing catch and then doubles up Lindor at first. It saved the game for sure. Carlos Mendoza was tossed in the ninth yesterday because of the horrendous strike calls. Pete Alonso will not be doing the HR derby as he wants to enjoy the all star festivities.

The Yankees' comeback fell short against the Brewers due to Devin Williams, while the Mets won game two with a Brandon Nimmo grand slam. The "Moment of The Day" highlighted Gio's golf course allergic reaction. The show will be off next week, with Jerry hosting with Willie Colon on Monday and Wednesday.

BT and Sal's "Call of the Day" on June 24, 2025, dove into the ongoing debate surrounding the Mets, particularly the performance of Juan Soto and Pete Alonso, with callers weighing in on the team's struggles and fan support. A highlight of the conversation was Sal's retelling of Evan Roberts's unfortunate foul ball incident at a Mets game, where Evan allegedly ducked and hid under his seat, nearly causing a foul ball to hit a young girl, showcasing his lack of "foul ball luck" and leading to humorous jabs about his commitment as a fan and his perceived reluctance to attend games with Sal. The hosts also touched on Evan's seemingly half-hearted invitations to games and his reliance on a portable fan, adding to the lighthearted ribbing.
BT and Sal dive into the Knicks' head coaching search, specifically the interview with Mike Nori, and debate whether his quirky "Ted Lasso" personality would fly in New York or if it's just a ploy to entice Karl-Anthony Towns. They then shift to Mets trade targets, with Sal eyeing Severino to bolster the pitching and both lamenting the team's offensive struggles and the historical "ones that got away" like Pete Crow-Armstrong. The conversation wraps with a hilarious recounting of Evan Roberts' ill-fated trip to a Mets game, where he famously ducked a foul ball and brought a portable fan, much to Sal's amusement and BT's exasperation.
On their June 24th show, BT and Sal were fired up dissecting the simultaneous slumps of both New York baseball teams. They pinpointed Pete Alonso's alarming lack of production as a key reason for the Mets' brutal 1-9 run, especially against division rivals. For the Yankees, the hosts tore into their persistent offensive inconsistencies, particularly their inability to get timely hits and their lineup issues, leading them to question whether both Big Apple teams are heading for a fiery freefall or if these are merely temporary blips. The discussion also included a humorous recount of Evan Roberts' unfortunate Mets game experience.

Is the Stanley Cup the most recognized sports trophy? We took more calls from Knicks fans as they prepare for game 6 tomorrow night. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Knicks beating the Pacers. Boomer then tells the story of a man on the streets of NYC who just laid down in the middle of the road. We heard from Evan Roberts after the game and he said he's going to game 7 if there is one. We think he should sell it since he's a Nets fan. The Moment of The Day: Landry Shamet is interrupted by a voice postgame, was that KAT? In the final segment of the week, Tracy calls in to introduce us to her mom. We give our final predictions for tomorrow night's game 6 in Indianapolis. One has a Knicks win, one does not.
The Knicks, fueled by a strong defensive effort and Jalen Brunson's stellar play, forced a Game 6 against the Pacers, igniting hope for a series comeback, especially after Tyrese Haliburton's quiet performance. The discussion also touched on the Oilers advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Panthers, while a humorous side note involved Evan Roberts, a Nets fan, attending the Knicks game.
Hour 1 The Knicks, fueled by a strong defensive effort and Jalen Brunson's stellar play, forced a Game 6 against the Pacers, igniting hope for a series comeback, especially after Tyrese Haliburton's quiet performance. The discussion also touched on the Oilers advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Panthers, while a humorous side note involved Evan Roberts, a Nets fan, attending the Knicks game. Hour 2 The Knicks are going to Indiana for a chance to bring the series back to Madison Square Garden for a game 7, and the pressure is on Jalen Brunson to perform and potentially win a championship. Jerry provides a postgame update including sound from Tyrese Haliburton discussing his poor performance (8 points). Al joked that Landry Shamet is unknown and was never mentioned by Boomer & Gio (false). The hour concludes with Boomer questioning if Haliburton was injured due to his off night. Hour 3 The Knicks' win over the Pacers and Karl-Anthony Towns' "dumb" fouls were discussed, with many Knicks fans calling in about Towns. Jerry provided an update, including the final call of the Knicks' victory. Despite an ankle injury, Towns didn't appear limited. Justin Fields' confidence with the Jets led to skepticism from Ochocinco regarding May optimism versus regular season performance. Mike McDaniel spoke circuitously about Tyreek Hill. The Oilers reached the Stanley Cup Finals against the Panthers. Calls continued about the Knicks' win and criticism of Towns' shot selection. Hour 4 Boomer discusses playoff "needle movers." A caller with locked-away phone Broadway tickets will miss the Knicks game. Is the Stanley Cup the most recognized trophy? More calls from Knicks fans anticipating game 6. Jerry's update includes the Knicks' victory sounds and a story about a man lying in the NYC street. Evan Roberts will attend a potential game 7 despite being a Nets fan (we suggest selling). Moment of the Day: Landry Shamet's interview interrupted. Tracy introduces her mom. Final game 6 predictions: a Knicks win for one, not for the other.
Jerry starts with Evan Roberts taking a shot at Wally Szczerbiak, calling him ‘boring'. The Thunder advanced to the NBA finals, eliminating the T-Wolves. Julius Randle was disappointed after the loss. The Yankees beat the Angels and Ron Washington intentionally walked Aaron Judge in his first two at bats. Caleb Williams met the media to talk about the story that came out a few weeks ago that said he wanted the Vikings and not the Bears.
Boomer and Gio react to Juan Soto's struggles at the plate and questions surrounding his hustle. Plus, Sal Licata on why he thinks the hustle noise is overblown; Evan Roberts believes Soto should be batting leadoff, and he and Tiki react to Soto downplaying the hustle concerns.
