Hour 1 Luis Gil's season is derailed by a severe lat strain, sidelining the Yankees pitcher for months. Discussions shifted to NFL salaries, with hypothetical figures for Boomer's era, and the Bengals' second consecutive tag of Tee Higgins. Boomer critiqued the Giants' QB-centric optimism, suggesting Aaron Rodgers as a potentially better short-term solution. He then questioned the Jets' playoff and Super Bowl chances, debating if a complete rebuild is necessary. C-Lo provided sports updates, starting with the Rangers' victory, and addressed the use of old audio clips in updates. The hour concluded with Boston radio host Fred Toucher's strong disdain for Pat McAfee. Hour 2 The show revisited the Knicks' history of bad coaches and highlighted a humorous "All The Smoke" podcast segment on the 90s Utah Jazz. The unpredictable nature of NFL draft prospects was discussed, citing Jaxson Dart's rise and Shedeur Sanders' perceived lack of engagement in team interviews, sparking comparisons to Boomer's own draft experience and acknowledging potential biases due to Sanders' lineage. C-Lo's update covered his bike tour fundraising, the Jazz podcast segment featuring Vernon Maxwell's admiration for John Stockton, and Rich Eisen's analysis of the Giants' Matthew Stafford pursuit. Sean McVay's vocal coaching style was noted, and the Rangers' consecutive shutouts were recapped. Finally, the show speculated on the Jets' GM's potential missteps and the Raiders' quarterback decision with Tom Brady involved. Hour 3 With NFL free agency approaching, the show previewed notable available players and speculated on Zach Wilson's future. Stefon Diggs' situation was humorously discussed, with Gio alleging he's being extorted. The conversation shifted to quarterback hand sizes and Marfan Syndrome, prompting a caller to provide medical context. C-Lo's update included Rick Pitino's comments on St. John's successful season and more heavily censored audio from the "All The Smoke" podcast. The hour concluded with a discussion of Gio potentially attending the Final Four if St. John's advances, and the hypothetical scenario of which local team's championship appearance would compel the show to travel. Hour 4 Gio believes there's a smear campaign against Shedeur Sanders, but isn't worried about his attitude. Davante Adams will be traded or cut by the Jets. Boomer thinks no quarterbacks in the draft will be difference makers. Jordan Travis' agent blames the Jets for his injury, and Travis removed the Jets from his social media. The Rangers won 4-0 against the Islanders. The Moment of the Day was an intern greeting a stressed engineer. Egg prices have risen due to bird flu, which can spread through goose poop.

This week we're checking out some Italian guys in NYC talking about things Italians like such as pizza and pasta. I'm sure Italians like something else but I haven't seen any evidence. Their guest is some young social media flash in the pan known as the Rizzler. Oh, and Mario Bosco is there. This whole show is a disaster. Patrick Melton from Nobody Likes Onions joins the show to evaluate Mario Bosco's stand up comedy “stylings.” Recent Jocktober subject Rich Shertenlieb was just canceled after less than six months on his new station and his old partner Fred Toucher is LOVING IT! Howard Stern did a show on Wednesday morning and tried his best to cope with Kamala's loss. Despite Howard's best efforts, all those darn racists voted for hate instead. Speaking of coping, Stuttering John had a rough election night. He brought on Brian Karem to analyze the election results. Their conclusion - it was all racists voting for hate.

This week we're checking in on one of the biggest streamers of all time. Adin Ross was banned by Twitch last year, where he had over 7 million followers. So now he's signed up with Kick where he's an hourly employee. Well it's not that bad, his hourly rate is five figures and he owns 30% of the company. Missy B joins the show to talk about Adin's recent interviews with Donald Trump and Candace Owens, as well as meet the funniest looking Discord mod you've ever seen. Kristine Knowlton supplies enough Halloween puns for cringe of the year in our Cringe of the Week segment. Tom Myers and Fred Toucher both respond to our recent episodes, one of them liked it. Aaron Imholte had Nick Rekieta in his chat and he's still trying to figure out how to feel about it while explaining to us how we should feel about it. Stuttering John is still blocking anyone who puts an “L” in his chat because, and I'm paraphrasing ClayDabbler, he's a sensitive little lady.

Another Jocktober has just flown by. We finish off in Boston to review the show that broke off from the mighty The Toucher and Rich Show. Rich Shertenlieb thought he could break off and start his own thing without Fred Toucher. We'll see but so far I don't like his chances considering his segments include long conversations about facial hair, male nipples, and Tom Brady's level of attractiveness. Trucker Andy joins the show to get angry that Zakk Wylde is pretending to play guitar in Pantera. Howard Stern makes a mistake during his segment with Bruce Springsteen and blames Gary Dell'Abate. John Gabrus gives his assessment of our review of his show, Action Boyz. Helga Mann and Lisa Boswell are back and they're still working with JJ. No Agenda gives a shoutout to Stuttering John who falls for yet another work. StutJo somehow spins it into another win… which is NUTS! April Imholte gets heckled during her omnibus hearing and it's pretty funny. Kevin Brennan has Tom Myers on as a guest on MLC and I can't tell which one is worse at broadcasting. Cardiff and Annie join the show as we play another round of To Poke A Dabbler, tease the next episode, read a review, and listen to your voicemails.

One more hour of Rangers talk before we turn it over to BT & Sal for them to talk about the Rangers. We took a bunch of calls from Rangers fans and they don't seem happy. Larry from Indiana checks in to tell us why we didn't see him at Kickoff To Summer in Belmar. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Rangers loss in Florida. The Yankees lost in L.A. to the Angels. The Mets get swept in a doubleheader by the Dodgers. Boston radio host Fred Toucher called Bill Walton a ‘phony hippie'. The Moment of The Day involves Eddie's ‘happy ending' drop while Boomer is trying to be serious. In the final segment of the show, and stop me if you've heard this before, we talked about the Rangers. Boomer gave his prediction of what the Rangers lineup will look like tomorrow night.
Hour 1 The Rangers lost in OT as the Panthers even the series 2-2. We all expected this series to go seven games and we seem to be on track for that. The concerning thing for the Rangers is they are being outshot at a rate of 2-to-1. Boomer was impressed with Igor making more incredible saves last night. Game 5 is now the pivotal game and the Rangers cannot lose this one tomorrow night. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Rangers losing in Florida. The Yankees lost to the Angels. Evan Roberts has had it with baseball giveaways only going to a certain number of ticket holders. The Mets lost a double header to the Dodgers yesterday. The Timberwolves beat the Mavericks to stay alive and we heard from Kyrie Irving. In the final segment of the hour, Joey Gallo is the father of the baby who we originally thought was Mark Davis'. There are also rumors that Dov Kleiman sold his Twitter account to a farming engagement expert of some sort. A caller compares the Rangers/Panthers series to Rocky IV. Hour 2 We talked more about the Rangers loss and took a lot of calls. Many people are disappointed in the top 3 Rangers not producing at all in the series. A caller thinks the Rangers players need to take mushrooms before the game for mental clarity. Jerry is here for an update but first we talked about Gary Bettman's radio show from a number of years ago. Jerry has the sounds from Florida Panthers radio as they beat the Rangers. The Yankees lost to the Angels. The Mets lost a double header and Howie Rose has no idea who to name as the ‘Top Dog of the Game'. Jerry has audio of a couple of broadcasters on a hot mic, but they are not aware they are on the air. The T-Wolves stayed alive with a win over the Mavericks. Josh Hart was on the Pivot podcast and talked about playing for Tom Thibodeau. In the final segment of the hour, Jason Kelce and his wife had a run in with a drunk woman who wanted a picture. Boomer said they should have just taken a quick pic and be done with it. Hour 3 Daryl Strawberry is going to have his day this weekend with the Mets, but it's terrible timing since the Mets are so bad right now. Even Darren from The 7-Line suggests focusing on other hobbies while the Mets are so terrible. At least they're not in between good and bad. They are definitely bad. The Mets do not have a winning core, so expect major trades before the deadline. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Rangers' loss to the Panthers to even the series 2-2. Boomer said it's time Kreider imposes his will. Mark Messier talked about taking mushrooms in his playing days. Boomer thinks current players are taking it as well. The Yankees lost to the Angels in L.A. David Stearns met with the media yesterday and talked about the Pete Alonso situation. Aaron Boone defended Angel Hernandez's umpiring skills. Former umpire Joe West was on The Score in Chicago defending Hernandez as well. Tom Brady talked about the expectations he has for himself as a broadcaster. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about Gunnar Esiason's love for Blink 182, Al's love of Springsteen, Boomer's love of Zeppelin and then Gio's love of what? Boomer is turning everything into a Rangers comparison, even Nirvana songs. Hour 4 One more hour of Rangers talk before we turn it over to BT & Sal for them to talk about the Rangers. We took a bunch of calls from Rangers fans and they don't seem happy. Larry from Indiana checks in to tell us why we didn't see him at Kickoff To Summer in Belmar. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Rangers loss in Florida. The Yankees lost in L.A. to the Angels. The Mets get swept in a doubleheader by the Dodgers.

We didn't have a chance to get to Bill Walton yesterday and he should be celebrated. Will Ryan Grubb improve the offense as much as Ian thinks the defense will elevate the Seahawks defense? How should we apply stats to sports when it comes to inclusion expansion? We can't erase the past, so how should we look at the number? Mariners get a big win last night and the AL West is not looking great, but at least the Mariners remain on top. Where is the positive-to-negative spectrum around fans right now? The Dumbest Thing You Will Hear Today! Sports talk radio in Boston hears Fred Toucher make some ridiculous comments regarding Bill Walton, who recently passed away. Joe Sheehan, The Joe Sheehan Newsletter joins Ian for his weekly visit and begins with the positives of bringing more awareness to Major League Baseball finally integrating Negro League Numbers. Plus, has the overall quality of baseball gone down with the changes we've seen? Is a strikeout more significant that any other out? Finally, how much has advanced data collection changed the game? We listen to a lovely sendoff to the Pac-12 sendoff delivered by Roxy Bernstein. Ian remembers his own experiences watching the conference. Bill Walton made every game he called sound like a championship, and Ian shares his own stories about him. The Daily Power Play! Yesterday we got a chance to meet new head coach of the Kraken, Dan Bylsma and we let you take a listen to what he had to say to Ian and Benton.

Hour 1: Boomer & Gio are both sick of the narrative that the Jets are in trouble because of the offensive line. It's way too early to tell. They also want the Yankees to shut down Aaron Judge right now since the season is essentially over and you don't want him hurt for next year. Jerry is here for his first update and has sound from last night's Yankees loss to the Braves. Shutout again and now below .500. The Jets & Bucs scuffled during joint practice. In the final segment of the hour, yesterday someone from The Big Lead thought Gio's impression of Joe Benigno was actually Joe, who was saying the Chinese would have all the Jets plays since Rob Saleh scrolls TikTok.
