Smaller show this week with the holiday and an illness among the hosts, but we persevere and have the news for you as always. We start with headlines from American Axle, Nexteer, Allison, Amazon, the LIRR, REI, Starbucks, Delaney Hall Detention Center, and the working classes of Italy and Argentina. Just two main stories this week: First, we check in on the rapidly developing situation in Bolivia, where the people are staring down brutal military repression. Lastly, we close with another look into the broader state of the economy, the war on workers, and why unions are critical nodes of struggle even in times of lower union density.

Dave then reads Patreon and Spotify comments from the Gabor Maté replay, talks about AI, Katz's, the Dopey Film Festival, and why Motorcycle Gang Gary won the “Long Island fucko” replay poll. The main replay is Gary from the beach — a classic Long Island Dopey story. Gary talks about growing up on Long Island, early drinking, weed, the Beatles, Zeppelin, handball, woods parties, coke, fighting crews, Teamster money, selling weed, motorcycles, 1% biker culture, strip clubs, ego, crack, destroying his marriage, losing his house, Gordon Heights crack runs, robbing a dealer, getting stabbed and beaten nearly to death, 250 stitches, rehabs, relapse, spiritual darkness, and eventually finding recovery. It's funny, brutal, very Long Island, and one of the great beach-meeting Dopey stories. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. May 19, 2026
Save the Sound releases their annual beach report ahead of the swimming season. President Trump was in Connecticut today for the Coast Guard Academy graduation. The Nassau County executive says the Governor should not be let off the hook for the LIRR strike. Plus, a unique fish passage project in Connecticut is the country's first.
Today on The Gist, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche defends a massive compensation fund for Donald Trump alongside a highly convenient IRS waiver. Then, J Schuberth joins the show to discuss her write-in campaign for Oregon governor as a six-foot-tall pencil. She breaks down why the state ranks dead last in fourth-grade literacy, the political pushback against the science of reading, and why adult comfort should not override student outcomes. Finally, in the spiel, a fierce defense of the only correct way to pronounce the LIRR and a thorough takedown of anyone who dares to call it the lurr.

The LIRR strike is over
The Knicks are rested, rolling, and facing a Cavaliers team that Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber believe still has plenty to prove. With Game 1 at Madison Square Garden looming, the conversation centers on whether the Knicks can keep their urgency after a dominant seven game stretch and take advantage of Cleveland's tired legs. Evan and Tiki dig into Jalen Brunson matchups, James Harden's playoff reputation, Donovan Mitchell's Garden reception, and the weight of Knicks history in Game 1 at home. They also mix in calls, nostalgia for old arenas, LIRR frustration, and Shaun Morash's most likely outcomes for the Eastern Conference Finals.
Tonight, the Knicks and Cavs battle at the Garden, the Mets score 10 runs in the 12th to beat the Nationals, and the LIRR strike ends with limited noon service. Boomer predicts a six-game Knicks series, Jerry delivers updates from Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson, and the Spurs top OKC in double OT behind a huge night from Victor Wembanyama. After hearing the sounds of the Mets' wild 12th inning, we check out Jazz Chisholm homering in Giancarlo Stanton's pants, John Harbaugh's bold claims at the Giants' town hall about kicking the Cowboys' ass, and the Canadiens advancing past the Sabres. We wrap it all up with Eddie's "Yankees Elimination Day" t-shirts.
The LIRR strike has ended, though some traffic delays remain. Most trains are expected to resume service today. On MSNOW's Morning Joe, Dell's stock was reported as likely to increase in value; some hosts speculated about possible connections to President Trump, but there is no direct evidence supporting these claims. President Trump announced the creation of an Anti-Weaponization Fund to support January 6th defendants who experienced financial losses following prosecution. The fund may also assist lawyers and political figures involved in the cases. Recently, Trump withdrew a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS concerning the handling of his tax returns. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer commented on the fund during recent remarks. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Roger Friedman from Showbiz411. Roger discusses a film recommendation for Memorial Day weekend. The Michael Jackson movie will soon be released in Japan and remains at the top of the box office. Chris Christie attended Bruce Springsteen's concert at Madison Square Garden, which came after rumors of them clashing about politics. Mark Fuhrman, a detective from the O.J. Simpson case, has passed away; Roger Friedman shares his perspective on Fuhrman.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's show, we break down the Knicks-Cavs playoff matchup with series predictions from Boomer and Gio alongside the Cavaliers eliminating the Pistons. In baseball, we recap a wild Subway Series highlighted by the Mets' thrilling comebacks against the Yankees, Tyrone Taylor's 9th-inning heroics, and Keith Hernandez's viral slip of the tongue. NFL talk covers prime-time scheduling snubs, Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh, and Tom Brady making waves from the Gucci runway to Georgetown. Finally, we tackle the LIRR strike traffic nightmare, look ahead to MetLife's World Cup transit disaster, celebrate Eddie's retirement, and address a caller wondering if Boomer is actually a Nordic alien.
We kick off with the Knicks-Cavs series, Boomer's 6-game prediction, and how the Garden will treat James Harden, before checking in on the "scrappy Mets." Next, Jerry updates us on the Cavaliers beating the Pistons and Donovan Mitchell's performance, followed by the audio of Tyrone Taylor's 9th-inning, game-tying 3-run homer against the Yankees. Finally, Gio tackles the LIRR strike traffic on Long Island and the looming transit disaster for the World Cup at MetLife.
We break down the LIRR strike's traffic impact and a caller wondering if Boomer is a Nordic alien. Next, Jerry's final update covers Donovan Mitchell on the Cavs' Game 7 win, the well-rested Knicks, and the Mets' comeback over the Yankees via Tyrone Taylor's tying home run and Benge's game-winning single. We also recap Pete Crow Armstrong's nasty exchange with a fan, Tom Brady's Georgetown commencement speech referencing Bill Belichick, and the 2030 Super Bowl heading to Nashville. Finally, the Moment of the Day delivers a caller's song parody about David Bednar, before we debate how the Knicks will look tomorrow night as Gio calls Knicks in 5.
We talked about the LIRR workers being on strike and the impact that's going to have on traffic. A caller wonders if Boomer is one of the Nordic aliens.
Governor Kathy Hochul has blamed the LIRR strike on President Trump, and Mark breaks down why. Should congestion pricing be suspended due to the LIRR strike? Hochul may also be using the strike to attack Republican candidate Bruce Blakeman, since he represents Long Island, an area where the strike is frustrating many voters. During President Trump's visit, burner phones had to be used by him and other top CEOs because of China's security systems. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has seized $500 million of Iran's cryptocurrency assets over the past few days. Mark interviews NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Mike, a former New York Times staffer, shares his opinion on why the newspaper has become so anti-Semitic. Some of the top lawyers in the US are vowing to help Israel with its lawsuit against the New York Times, especially since the Times has been accused of playing the race card more frequently. Mark and Michael believe that no one should be surprised, since Mamdani preached anti-Semitic views before he became mayor. President Trump has been threatening Iran all weekend, and Iran has responded by sending the US a new 14-point peace proposal. Mark explains why the UN climate committee was wrong about the latest “Green Scheme,” describing the climate alarmism as crazy. Researchers have admitted that the predicted climate change range for the 21st century may not occur, and that financial interests may have influenced the UN's stance. New York is now planning a tax on homes purchased with cash for over $1 million. Trump is considering investigating billionaire George Soros for allegedly funding corrupt organizations against him and others. Mark interviews comedian Jackie Martling. Mark and Jackie reminisce about Rodney Dangerfield, with Jackie sharing stories about his experience knowing Rodney and performing at his comedy club. Jackie keeps Mark laughing with his trademark one-liners and jokes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New York City schools are overhauling the way students learn to read through a literacy initiative known as NYC Reads, built around the “science of reading” movement. City officials say the approach is already improving reading scores. But some teachers, parents and students say the curriculum relies too heavily on worksheets, rigid lessons and short excerpts, leaving students with fewer opportunities to immerse themselves in full books. WNYC's education reporter Jessica Gould joins us to discuss the debate over phonics, reading stamina, and whether schools are improving literacy at the expense of fostering a love of reading.

James Harden fuels a Cavs victory for a 3-2 series lead, the Moment of the Day tackles the red or white wine debate, and we wrap with the potential LIRR strike affecting the Subway Series.
The Subway series kicks off tomorrow with the Mets building momentum behind Benge and Ewing.
