Podcasts about Gio

Joe Castello and the Patreon Crew are firing on all cylinders on this week's Ignition. Denny Hamlin wins the NASCAR FireKeepers Casino 400 from Michigan, that's back-to-back wins for Hamlin as he ties Kyle Busch on the all-time wins list. Kimi Antonelli makes it five straight wins as he dominates the F1 Monaco Grand Prix. Josef Newgarden gets the win in IndyCar. Matt's Australia Report and Gio in Miami recaps the NBA and NHA Finals on SportsCollision.

This week on Gig Gab, Dave Hamilton sits down with guest co-host Rand Lempert of the Broken Rings, a two-piece recording project built on 15 years of musical kinship between Rand and guitarist Gio da Silva. You’ll hear how these two have crafted an intentional, travel-fueled recording process across cities, cutting live instruments and vocals together, passing files between New Orleans, Tampa, and now Denver, and why that friction and urgency is exactly the point. Rand makes a compelling case for keeping things analog as long as possible: real amps, minimal pedals, old-school mic placements like a modified Glyn Johns setup, and the conviction that nothing replaces the feeling of having a human being in the room when the tape (or hard drive) is rolling. The conversation ranges wide, from Rand’s vivid 9/11 tour story, stranded in St. John’s Newfoundland on one of the last planes to land before U.S. airspace shut down, to a deep dive into the art of the perfect pop song, with nominations for Tempted by Squeeze, Big Star’s Thirteen, Bryan Adams’ Cuts Like a Knife, and Fastball’s Out of My Head. Whether you’re a working drummer obsessing over beat placement, a songwriter who only writes when the muse actually shows up, or a road veteran who knows that idle days on tour are far worse than grueling ones, this episode has your number.

Jaxson Dart, Abdul Carter and Jameis Winston spoke in front of the media on Friday about Dart introducing President Trump at a rally. Gio hopes this is the last time it's addressed as it continues to go on for no reason. Odell Beckham Jr to the Giants still has legs. Boomer said even if he signs, he may not be on the opening day roster. We also talked about the Yankees scoring 13 runs in a 43 minute top of the third. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio tells us about picking up his mother-in-law at JFK on Friday. We heard Mike Brown talking about his past with the Spurs but said he wants to ‘kick their ass'. We heard the sounds of the Yankees from the 13-run third. John Harbaugh was a guest on the Mark Schlereth podcast and he asked him about the Dart/Carter situation. A caller wants an intervention with Tommy Lugauer with his Knicks confidence.

We started with the Spurs beating the Thunder to set up Knicks/Spurs in the Finals. We also talked about Mitchell Robinson's injured pinky. Gio said it's going to feel weird if they lose a game this series because it's been so long. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and we heard from Mike Brown on facing the Spurs & Wemby. KAT gave a shoutout to Jeremy Lin for making him a Knicks fan. The Yankees scored 13 runs in the third including a Ben Rice 2-run triple. Juan Soto hit a grand slam to put the game out of reach as they swept the Marlins. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls on the upcoming Knicks/Spurs series. Good news for Mitchell Robinson as Mike Francesa knows the surgeon.

We discuss the 1999 Knicks team and Gio can't believe it was almost 30 years ago. We previewed the Knicks/Spurs series which gets underway on Wednesday night. Jerry starts with Mike Brown on comparisons to their series for the NBA Cup. Aaron Judge talked about the 13-run third inning to beat the A's, Howie Rose on the call as Juan Soto hit a grand slam. The Moment of The Day: A-I Dave Simms has some comments for Boomer. Gio talked about the movie, ‘Project Hail Mary', and said the alien reveal threw him off.

We talked about Mitchell Robinson's pinky injury and are trying to figure out how he got it since it wasn't basketball related. Also, the size of Wemby's feet, which Gio said are still growing. Jerry with the sounds of Mike Brown talking about the upcoming series with the Spurs. The Yankees had a 13-run third inning to beat the A's. The Mets beat the Marlins and complete the sweep as Carson Benge led off with a HR. The Giants are working out a few veteran receivers, not just Odell. A female caller can't believe a male caller said his wife wouldn't let him watch the Knicks.

We bring on Gio founder of The Queer Room! The Queer Room is a Long Beach based platform that provides safe spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals centering queer women and their stories.  The Queer Room is building community here in our home town y'all. Let's here what she has to say!

Jaxson Dart reportedly spoke at a Giants team meeting to address the drama that stemmed from Abdul Carter's social media post criticizing Dart introducing Donald Trump. Boomer and Gio react to the report, and whether this can be something that actually brings the team closer together. Evan and Tiki debate who would have leaked the report about the team meeting, and Craig Carton rips how the story as a whole has been covered by media and received by fans.

Odd question of the morning: Has Boomer driven more miles or hit more golf balls in his life? Gio said it's probably closer than you think. Then some football stuff gets thrown in there for some reason.

We start with news that Mitchell Robinson is dealing with a broken pinky, leaving us to wonder how it will affect him in the Finals. Boomer wonders why the Knicks aren't favored over both teams, while Gio would rather play the Spurs. Jerry's first update starts with Victor Wembanyama, followed by Mike Brown on the evolving Knicks offense,Geno Smith on being back with the Jets, Abdul Carter missing the meeting where Jaxson Dart discussed introducing the President, and Andy Reid on Patrick Mahomes' readiness. Finally, we address Claude Lemieux passing away at age 60 due to suicide, Boomer and Jerry's golf outing yesterday at Deepdale—which Gio notes has tremendous showers—and Mayor Mamdani referencing Knicks players by nickname and first name.

We start with confirmation that Mitchell Robinson will play with a brace on his broken right pinky following surgery, before debating whether Boomer has driven more miles or hit more golf balls. Jerry's final update opens with getting stuck on an amusement park ride, leading into the Spurs beating the Thunder to tie their series 3-3. From there, Mike Brown discusses keeping the Knicks competitive, Jalen Brunson reacts to a home run nod from Juan Soto, Aaron Glenn pulls for the Knicks, Garrett Wilson imagines a Jets victory, and Patrick Mahomes shares his rehab process. Gio also notes that Daniel Jones has been hurt so much he's dating surgeon Dr. ElAttrache's daughter. Finally, the Moment of the Day breaks down showering at the golf course, Boomer lists what kills humans the most every year, and Mike Breen shares a story about what a great guy Kevin Harlan is.

The Spurs beat the Thunder to even the series at 3-3. Mike Brown talked about keeping the Knicks competitive with so much time off. Jalen Brunson was asked about Juan Soto giving him a nod after hitting a HR. Garrett Wilson said watching the Knicks gives him a taste of what it could be like when the Jets win. Patrick Mahomes talked about his rehab process. Gio said Daniel Jones has been hurt so much he's dating the daughter of noted surgeon Dr. ElAttrache. The Moment of The Day: Definitely take a shower at the golf course.

Okay, Gia and Keisha are still trying to improve the sound quality--thank you for your feedback everyone. Now. How much worse can Curtis get? Michael is putting the pieces together, but will he be able to fix this whole BMW problem? Can anyone fix Curtis? And how about Willow and Sidwell? Is she terrified or impressed by him? Also, why isn't Lucas more scared of Sidwell? Plus, the Rocco situation needs to move along. On the positive side, Kai is becoming a stronger character, Molly and Cody are still a fun couple, and Gio is an all around good guy.  #mauricebenard  #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #barshampoo #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #hillstreetblues #kinshriner  #nicholaschavez #afterlife #rickygervais #hallandoates #superstore #freaksandgeeks #freefallin #alanarkin #newgirl #lamornemorris #colonoscopy #takethenap #alleymills #billylibby #chickadee #fortgorgeous #robertgossett #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #marcuscoloma #useastaplegun #riptwitch #ripepiphany #ripsonyaeddy  #waywardchickadee #barshampoo #ripmiffy #lovedogs #justinebateman #brookeshields #neilgaiman #dnice #cq #deborahcox #malcolmjamalwarner #lume #godzillaminusone #ripjacklynzeman #jasonmomoa #adambelanoff #thecloser #majorcrimes #wings #murphybrown #thecosbyshow #pinkalicious #ripbillymiller #ripmatthewperry #riptylerchristopher #riplesliecharleson #ripandrebraugher #ripjohnnywactor #dutchbarnvodka #chadduell #rickygervaisrobot #colinfromaccounts #ripanthonygeary

Gio wonders if Juan Soto cares that the team stinks since he's still hitting well.

Gio wants Jaxson Dart and Abdul Carter in a ‘root hog' situation in practice and Boomer said John Harbaugh is not doing that. Gio doesn't expect any more big moves for the Jets or Giants. Everyone still expects AJ Brown to be traded to the Patriots. We talked about JJ McCarthy and why Gio knew he would be a terrible QB.

Reports came out this morning that Jaxson Dart addressed the team and other leaders spoke about him introducing Trump. Jerry returns for an update starting with SGA talking about tonight's game in San Antonio, followed by Adam Silver discussing flopping with Pat McAfee. The Yankees shutout the Royals as Gerrit Cole pitched well again, the Mets actually won a game as Juan Soto homered again, and the Moment of the Day features Boomer pinning Al against the wall and not letting him leave the studio. Finally, a police officer pulls a woman over for having her phone in a right hand she doesn't actually have, and Gio talks about ticks on Long Island spreading disease.

Gio wants Jaxson Dart and Abdul Carter in a practice ‘root hog' situation, but Boomer says John Harbaugh isn't doing that. Gio expects no more big moves for the Jets or Giants, everyone still anticipates an AJ Brown trade to the Patriots, and Gio breaks down why JJ McCarthy 'prances' and will be a terrible QB before sharing Jalen Brunson's crush on Mariska Hargitay. Jerry's update highlights Saquon Barkley on AJ Brown, Jim Harbaugh on Justin Herbert missing practice for his girlfriend, and Kendrick Perkins on a heated AAU game argument. Finally, Aaron Judge throws a dude out at the plate in a Yankees shutout, Carson Benge hits two RBI singles in a Mets win, the Pope gives a thumbs up to a Knicks fan, and Al Dukes plays a disastrous round of ‘NBA player on the Spurs/Thunder or dead guy.'

President Trump is heading to a Knicks finals game at the Garden, leaving us wondering what reaction he'll get from the crowd. Next, Jerry arrives for his first update of the day, but Gio notices he's not wearing shoes. In baseball, the Yankees beat the Royals behind Gerrit Cole's 7th-inning shutout, Howie Rose calls Juan Soto's home run in a Mets win over the Reds, Carson Benge shaves his mustache and it works, and Cristopher Sanchez breaks a Phillies record with 44 ⅔ scoreless innings. Finally, Rays pitcher Jonathan Heasley vomits on the mound, Adam Silver talks flopping and officiating with Pat McAfee, and a Trump impersonator calls in about the Knicks and UFC on the White House lawn.

We kick off wondering what crowd reaction President Trump will get at the Knicks game, note a shoeless Jerry, and track Yankees and Mets wins before a Trump impersonator calls in. Next, Gio wonders if Juan Soto cares his team stinks, the guys get sidetracked by weiner pills, and SGA sends a cease-and-desist letter to Underdog Sports over flopping videos. Then, Gio and Boomer debate a "root hog" practice drill, Gio explains why JJ McCarthy will be a terrible quarterback, and Al Dukes plays a disastrous game of "NBA player or dead guy." Finally, reports drop about Jaxson Dart addressing his team after introducing Trump, Gerrit Cole and Juan Soto dominate again, Boomer pins Al against the studio wall, and a police officer pulls over a woman for holding a phone in a right hand she doesn't even have.

Gio wonders if Juan Soto cares that his team stinks since he's still hitting well, then questions if former Mets coach Jeremy Hefner is the real reason the Braves staff is number one or if they just always have guys. Jerry returns for an update, but the show spends a lot of time on weiner pills. In baseball, the Yankees shutout the Royals behind Ben Rice's production, the Mets beat the Reds thanks to Carson Benge's RBIs, and Rays pitcher Jonathan Heasley vomits on the mound. Finally, Mike Vrabel is asked if he needs more time off, and SGA sends a cease and desist letter to Underdog Sports over videos of him flopping.

We start with Becky Hammon's resurfaced comments on Jalen Brunson and Boomer comparing Brunson to Aaron Judge. Jerry updates us on OKC going up 3-2 on the Spurs, Shaq admitting he was wrong about the Knicks, Gio apologizing to Ben Stiller, and Hammon favoring the West. Then, the Yankees destroy the Royals 15-1, the Mets lose again with David Peterson questioned for not backing up home plate, and Josh Jacobs faces domestic abuse accusations. We close with Patrick from SpongeBob reading the Mets' lineup.

We kick off with Becky Hammon's Jalen Brunson comments, the Knicks' future, OKC's series lead, a 15-1 Yankees blowout, and a tough Mets loss. Next, Boomer addresses the Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart viral drama, followed by social media algorithm talk, an "unacceptable" Brewers crotch thrust, and Ray J's podcast appearance. Then, Boomer reviews the movie Pressure, Gio discovers a "Primal Viking" supplement, Ron Darling critiques the Mets, and Wembanyama "lays an egg." We wrap up with Greg Olsen winning an Emmy, John Harbaugh brushing off locker room fodder, Jerry singing Bob Dylan, a positive Mets fan calling in, and Hank farting on Pardon My Take.

Boomer and his son Gunnar praise the movie Pressure as an IMAX must-watch, followed by Gio sharing his targeted Instagram ads for a cortisol drink and a "Primal Viking" supplement. Jerry drops in with updates on the Thunder beating the Spurs, the Yankees' 24-hit, 15-1 blowout of the Royals, and another Mets loss to the Reds despite a relentlessly positive face-painted fan. Ron Darling slams David Peterson for failing to back up home plate, questioning the lack of modern coaching influence. Finally, we look at a headline about Wembanyama "laying an egg."

Greg Olsen beats out Tom Brady for a Sports Emmy, followed by why the Jaxson Dart/Abdul Carter situation is just media fodder that John Harbaugh won't let affect the team. Then, Gio reacts to a viral Dez Bryant post, Jerry sings Bob Dylan to start his final update, and we hear postgame sound from OKC taking a 3-2 lead over the Spurs. Next, positive Mets fan Kenny from Baldwin calls in, Boomer reveals he brushes his teeth like Bryce Harper, and Gio orders the "Primal Viking" supplement for the Moment of the Day. We close with Hank farting during a Pardon My Take taping.

Gio came across a recent post by Dez Bryant that said, ‘You can never crash out over a known hoe'. You're welcome.

Gio talked about his Instagram algorithm and what ads he's being targeted. He bought a cortisol drink they targeted at him and a supplement to get rid of man boobs. OK, then.

We continue our Knicks talk as a caller credits James Dolan, whose decision to fire Thibs looks like the key to their dominant run over the last two series. Jerry's update features Mike Breen highlighting a careless Cavs team, Charles Barkley claiming Cleveland quit at halftime, and Jalen Brunson explaining the Knicks' success. In baseball, Anthony Volpe fuels a Yankees comeback against the Royals, while the Mets lose again after Vientos strikes out on a pitch that actually hits him. Finally, Boomer spotlights the upcoming movie Pressure, Gio shares his desire to see Disclosure Day, and Rami officially takes over the position of the retiring Eddie.

The Knicks swept the Cavaliers in dominating fashion, leaving Boomer in the Twilight Zone over a run reminiscent of the 2007 Giants. Jerry's update featured Mike Breen's call sending the Knicks to the NBA Finals, Jalen Brunson's series MVP honors, and fans screaming outside MSG. Meanwhile, Kenny Atkinson claimed they analytically won two of their first three games, Anthony Volpe's two-run single won it for the Yankees, the Mets dropped their fourth straight to the Reds, and three Astros pitchers combined for a no-hitter. We close with pricey Finals tickets, Fat Joe's courtside drama with the Cavaliers, and Gio demanding Nets fan Evan Roberts sell his tickets.

We are live from D'Jais in Belmar for our Kickoff to Summer! We start with the Knicks taking a commanding 2-0 lead over the Cavaliers, prompting Boomer to say they are on the cusp of being the best Knicks team ever, though Gio disagrees and says they are in the cocoon. Next, a recap of last night's dinner where Al had to pay using gift cards. Jerry is here for his first update featuring the sounds of Mike Breen and the Knicks winning, followed by the Yankees' 3-hit shutout loss to the Blue Jays, and finally, Eddie trivia with a couple of contestants.

Boomer and Gio recap the Knicks' game 2 win and the Yankees offense struggling to score

Chris Russo missed Knicks/Cavs Game 1 after taking two Valiums for an MRI and falling asleep at 8 p.m., prompting Gio to compare a tarmac delay to an MRI tube. Next, Al rides the subway for the first time in seven years and immediately gets an accordion player in his face. Jerry then returns with Mike Brown discussing player sacrifices, OKC evening their series with the Spurs, a 2-1 Yankees loss to the Blue Jays despite Cam Schlittler pitching well, and Carlos Mendoza addressing the Mets' missing offense against the Nationals. Finally, a caller wonders which other WFAN personalities will become Radio Hall of Famers.

We kick off with the Spurs/Thunder game and Dylan Harper's injury, a Knicks/Cavs Game 2 preview, Boomer tracking the 1010 WINS weather guy, Jerry's updates on SGA and Josh Hart, a Nationals victory over the Mets, and a caller asking Eddie about career regrets.

Gio talked about being stuck on the tarmac and how it feels like he's in an MRI tube. Al was on a subway for the first time in 7 years and was immediately in the presence of an accordion player in his face.

We break down the spread for tonight's Knicks/Cavs Game 2, talk about Josh Hart's unselfish play, and explain why Gio would still pick the Knicks to win the series even with a Game 1 loss. Next, a caller cries over Eddie's retirement, prompting Mark Chernoff to call in to discuss Eddie stepping down and Boomer making the Hall of Fame. Jerry then returns with an update featuring Chris Russo admitting he didn't vote for Boomer's induction, followed by the Mets' loss to the Nationals despite two Juan Soto home runs. Finally, the Moment of the Day revisits Boomer saying "See Ya!" to a retiring Eddie, before Nicole checks in to wrap up the show ahead of tomorrow's Kickoff to Summer.

We start with the Knicks' 22-point comeback win over the Cavs to take Game 1 at a Garden that felt just like Boomer remembers it as a kid. Jerry's final update brings audio of Mike Brown calling the fans "frickin' awesome," Jalen Brunson on the message to the team down 22, and Kenny Atkinson on his timeouts and keeping James Harden on Brunson. Next, the Mets lost to the Nationals as James Wood hit an inside-the-park grand slam, prompting us to listen to Tony Gwynn's 1997 inside-the-parker, before hearing Dave Sims call Ben Rice's 16th homer in a Yankees win over the Blue Jays.

The Moment of The Day: Lots of ass kicking in the NFC East. Plus, Gio has never gone into a conference championship with one of his teams with as much confidence as he has in the Knicks right now.

Noahkai Banks is back on the field and rumors are flying. Gio says he "hopes to get the call." Dest looks hungry in a dead rubber in the Netherlands. Jedi scores on a penalty. Pulisic assist.
