On this episode, the guys welcome our first current college athlete to the pod to discuss his journey to become one of college football's leading quarterbacks going into the 2025 season.

Al's question to Aaron Rodgers about the Malaysian Air conspiracy has gone viral in the conspiracy community. This could be Al's crowning achievement. Jerry returns for an update but first we get a conspiracy update from Tom Izzo. Jerry begins with BT and Sal delivering another double entendre. Juan Soto hit three home runs but the White Sox walked him so he couldn't get number four. Jazz Chisholm Jr. has a UCL injury and Boomer reminds us diving into any base is dangerous. Paul Blackburn struggled in his Citi Field debut. Gio says he would fight that voice but everyone else is not sure. Austin Adams mocked the Mets “OMG” celebration after escaping a jam. Jeff Francoeur told a great story about getting out of a spring training game to golf with Tiger Woods. What kind of dog would Daniel Jones be? Dan Marino made a bad financial decision when being compensated for Ace Ventura. Sam Rosen is retiring after this season. In the final segment of the hour, we continue to compare Daniel Jones to a dog and discuss how the Giants need more toughness. Boomer wants to see what Daniel Jones can do with more opportunity.

Hour 1 Gio is back in studio and happy just like Yankee fans are after Juan Soto hit three home runs last night. Gio is concerned that the Yankees will lose Soto. Boomer says the Mets wasted an opportunity to gain ground in the last week. The Mets have to stop the bleeding immediately. The Mets probably won't go on a run because their pitching isn't good enough. Boomer remembers an old cliche about pitching that possibly started with Connie Mack. Boomer thinks Gio and others at the radio station are too negative. Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first Boomer quizzes Gio and Jerry on some sports business figures. The Knicks and Rangers playoff runs made MSG a billion dollars. NFL teams make so much money and Boomer wants that to go to the players. Juan Soto crushed three home runs last night and the Yankees beat the White Sox. What teams will make $500 million offers to Soto? Malik Nabers has no doubt he will be ready for week 1. In the final segment of the hour, a listener sent Boomer a Precious Achiuwa rookie card and Gio replays a great point from BT about where Robert Saleh should be when it comes to Aaron Rodgers. Hour 2 Al's question to Aaron Rodgers about the Malaysian Air conspiracy has gone viral in the conspiracy community. This could be Al's crowning achievement. Jerry returns for an update but first we get a conspiracy update from Tom Izzo. Jerry begins with BT and Sal delivering another double entendre. Juan Soto hit three home runs but the White Sox walked him so he couldn't get number four. Jazz Chisholm Jr. has a UCL injury and Boomer reminds us diving into any base is dangerous.

Dan Marino made a bad financial decision when being compensated for Ace Ventura. Sam Rosen is retiring after this season. In the final segment of the hour, we continue to compare Daniel Jones to a dog and discuss how the Giants need more toughness. Boomer wants to see what Daniel Jones can do with more opportunity.  Hour 3 The Mets wake up from their nap. The Yankees have all the pieces needed to win but have to hope Jazz Chisholm's injury isn't serious. An overnight caller known for pushing buttons tries to get under Boomer's skin. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Juan Soto's big night in the Windy City. The Mets had another embarrassing loss, this one at home against the A's. Austin Adams had fun at their expense. Gio can't wait to see Malik Nabers in game action. How common is it for legends to be around their former teams? Sam Rosen will retire after his 40th season in the booth. We look at numbers 31-100 on the Top 100 Giants list. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer and Gio agree that Robert Saleh sounded different yesterday and that's a good thing. Gio believes the adversity the Jets faced last year will help prepare them for this season. Hour 4 The whole show will be together for four days next week and Boomer is realizing how many days of his life he is getting back now that he won't be on The NFL Today. A caller is upset the Mets didn't sell at the trade deadline since they are now coming back to earth but Boomer and Gio agree that was not really an option. SNY's Kidcaster calls in with his dad. They want to know what he should wear when he calls an inning next week. Jerry is here for his final update of the day and begins with the positive, meaning the Yankees and Juan Soto. How does a cement truck overturn? That will lead to brutal traffic for Boomer and Gio on their drives home. Gio got stuck in the “Peter Schwartz-field” at Jets camp yesterday. The Moment of The Day involves a suggestion Brandon Tierney has for Robert Saleh and Aaron Rodgers. In the final segment of the show, there's never too much golf.

Mark, Mike and Beau continue this Wednesday edition of The Morning Shift by diving into the life of Beau Morgan in The Life of Squid! On this edition of The Life of Squid, Beau “Squidbilly” Morgan, lets you hear former Atlanta Braves outfielder and now Braves analyst Jeff Francouer tell a great story about Bobby Cox being a cool boss, and a great person. Mike, Mark, and Beau react to what Jeff had to say as well.

It can't be understated the amount of fun we had with Jeff Francoeur. We discussed his new venture, “Pure Athlete,” that is so focused on the importance of correctly navigating youth sports. He added stories of being on the golf course with John Smoltz and Tiger Woods. Or the time Bobby Cox had him fake an injury! This conversation is one of our favorites to date. Stat-O-Matic, the market leader in sports simulations, helped us figure out if there was a way that the Cubs curse could've been broken sooner. Tim goes off the rails with his new “Best Of All-Tim,” a bit of a stretch even to his standards. Finally, our Kurkjian Quandary is all about a recent NFL Hall of Fame inductee and we are certain you will agree with our decision on this one.  Visit GreatGameOrWhat.com to contact the show with your questions, quips and insights.

The Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves open a three-game series on Friday night at Truist Park in Atlanta. It feels like a big one, even with the Phillies holding a significant lead in the NL East. Who better to talk about the Phillies and Braves than Jeff Francoeur? Frenchy played for both the Braves and Phillies in his 12-year MLB career. These days, he is an analyst for Braves TV and for national baseball games on TBS. Frenchy is one of baseball's great personalities, so The Phillies Show had a blast talking to him about several topics: What makes this current Phillies team so good. How important this weekend's series is for Atlanta. His best stories from his only season with the 2015 Phillies, which include an appearance as a pitcher in Baltimore. His best Chase Utley story. His opinions on youth sports. Frenchy hosts the Pure Athlete podcast, which is dedicated to helping kids and parents navigate youth sports.

The month of May has once again been a bit unkind to the Atlanta Braves, who seem like they are winning games in spite of their offense at the moment. Of course, the pitching staff has been pitching in more than its fair share to make it happen. Grant McAuley discussed the latest Braves news from the week that was, including some encouraging signs for Matt Olson at the plate, but a discouraging injury update for Austin Riley that seems to have the third baseman in limbo as far as a return. You'll hear Riley's comments from Saturday as he described the ailment that has him stuck on the bench for the time being. Meanwhile, Travis d'Arnaud also had a brush with injury but appears to have emerged unscathed while Sean Murphy's return to could be getting closer with an upcoming rehab assignment. Ronald Acuña Jr. is among those still searching for consistency and results, so did a day off help speed that process up? You'll also hear from Atlanta reliever Jesse Chavez, who shares some insight on the inner workings of the bullpen. And we'll discuss the latest Players Only telecast on Bally Sports South with Brian McCann and Jeff Francoeur, who reflect on their friendship and the chance to reunite on the 20th anniversary of their rookie season. Special guest Russell Dorsey of Yahoo Sports joins the show to discuss the state of the Toronto Blue Jays, a club that once seemed destined to become a powerhouse, but is now staring at the possibility that their homegrown stars are not only under-performing but could also bolt in free agency. David Adler of MLB.com checks in to share the inner workings of Statcast's new bat-tracking metrics, from concept to the first iteration which debuted this past week. This latest evolution allows us to take a deeper look at how the swing works and who has the most explosive swing in MLB.
