We had a guest cancel at the last minute, so Craig, Suzanne, and I opened drinks and talked about my absolute disaster of a travel day. I'm not giving away the whole thing, but yesterday involved delayed flights, a plane too hot to board, a jammed wheelchair, Atlanta airspace doing Atlanta airspace things, a sick flight attendant, a Popeyes dream that died quickly, a late-night LIRR miracle, and the crushing realization that I wasn't getting Taco Bell at the end of it. Suzanne somehow turned our text thread into a blues song, Craig did Craig things, and I tried to explain the whole mess without reliving too much trauma. We also got to the important business:

It gives me such joy to see Daisy O’Connor returning to the studio and the stage. The Austin-based, genre-fluid singer-songwriter took an unexpectedly long break from gigging and songwriting, feeling the block and burnout from relentless touring. Then, on a trip to New York City, the Concrete Jungle worked its magic, and inspiration struck. “LIRR” […] The post Daisy O’Connor: “LIRR” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

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.

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.

Windmills installed as part of green initiatives over the past decade are presenting challenges in removal and maintenance. James L. Dolan, owner of the Knicks, announced that the Knicks and New York Rangers will become separate publicly traded companies. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. Bill discusses shifts in political ideology in California and London. Andrew Cuomo has faced criticism regarding progressive policies such as bail reform. Bill O'Reilly also discusses President Trump's recent visit to China, offering a positive assessment, and describes negotiation strategies related to China.

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 takes your calls! 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.

On this wild FU Friday, Opie wakes up ornery after microwaving coffee with almond milk, sparking epic rants about "real men drink it black," Bill Burr, Boston comics, and endless Clark puns (Clark Kent, Clark Griswold, Bobby Clark — you name it). The crew dives deep into New York infrastructure hell: a massive sinkhole swallowing the LIE (Opie's old exit!), potholes vs. fancy FIFA World Cup soccer fields at MetLife, and the looming LIRR strike that could cripple Long Island commutes. Plus, the insane true story of the Florida man whose bedroom literally fell into a sinkhole — never to be seen again. Ron chows down on a bagel live on camera, the guys challenge each other to a push-up contest, super chats fly (Gary Gay Boobs and Drew Mayfield keeping it hilarious), and they roast the upcoming World Cup halftime show with Shakira, Grandma Madonna, and BTS. David Byrne/Talking Heads talk, celebrity herpes rumors, and classic Opie chaos round it out. If you love unfiltered comedy, NYC gripes, live chat energy, and zero-filter banter, this is your episode. FU Friday at its finest — raw, ridiculous, and addictive.Timestamps:00:00 - David Byrne & Talking Heads vibes02:30 - Almond milk rage & coffee wars08:00 - Sinkhole on the LIE + infrastructure rants25:00 - LIRR strike looming35:00 - Legendary Florida sinkhole story (Jeff Bush)45:00 - World Cup halftime show drama (Shakira, Madonna, BTS)55:00+ - Push-ups, bagels, super chats & more Download, like, and subscribe for daily laughs.

Young golfers Ava Chen and Alex Tervoreen visit the studio before Jerry's final update and a look at the stress of Gio coaching softball. We cover the Yankees' one-hit loss, injury concerns for Juan Soto and Max Fried, and the 30-13 Braves. 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. Paul in Yonkers is already complaining about the Apple TV broadcast while callers look ahead to the PGA Championship. Jerry checked in regarding potential LIRR strike disruption, leading into a recap featuring Gary Cohen's call of Benge's walk-off, Max Fried's injury status, and the Cavaliers' OT win over the Pistons. We also covered OG Anunoby's return to practice, Matthew Schaefer's Rookie of the Year win on GMA 3, and Boomer's FDNY award.

James Harden leads the Cavs over the Pistons and OG Anunoby practices while we track Max Fried's injury, Mets walk-offs, and the Orioles' shutout of the Yankees. We preview the Subway Series and PGA Championship amid LIRR strike threats and Matthew Schaefer's Rookie of the Year award, then pivot to Francisco Alvarez's surgery, Carl Pavano's divorce, and Aaron Judge's road trip struggles. Between celebrating Jalen Brunson and the NBA's tanking plan, we host young golfers, navigate Gio's softball coaching stress, and debate wine choices as the Braves dominate and transit issues loom.

There may be an LIRR strike that could affect people getting from Long Island to the subway series. We heard Gary Cohen on the call as Carson Benge had a walk off hit, Max Fried talked about his injurt, plus, the Cavaliers beat the Pistons in OT to take a 3-2 series lead. OG Anunoby participated in ‘some parts of practice'. Matthew Schaefer was on GMA 3 as he won the Rookie of the Year award.
