Hour 1 Today is the home opener for the Yankees in the Bronx. Gio is decked out in Knicks gear as they got a great comeback win last night. They did get bad news as well, with Julius Randle opting for season ending shoulder surgery. Gio said the Mets still suck offensively, even though Gary Cohen sounded excited with their win in game 2. Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first, Stan's sent us some t-shirts since it's the Yankees home opener. Jerry has sound from the Knicks win over the Kings last night. Tom Thibodeau talked about Julius Randle opting for season ending shoulder surgery. The Mets went up 3-0 in game 1, but then didn't get another hit and lost 6-3. They did win game 2, but it took seven innings to get a hit. The A's are heading to Sacramento and the owner is excited to see Aaron Judge hitting HRs in the minor league park. In the final segment of the hour, the Yankees head into the home opener today at 6-1. There's a picture of Derrick Rose that went viral and Gio couldn't figure out why. OG Anunoby was cleared for contact which is great news after the Julius Randle bad news.  Hour 2 We came out of a commercial with ‘In Bloom' by Nirvana. Today is 30 years since we lost Kurt Cobain. Gio loved Nirvana and talked about going in AOL chat rooms to talk about playing bass. Gio got negative feedback in those chat rooms about which bass players he liked. Boomer wonders what happened to MySpace. Gio remembers having to have top 5 friends there. Boomer sent Al a video of Jerry Seinfeld talking about hating everything about family vacations. Gio said he and his family are going to Disney next year, and it won't be fun for him but it will be for the kids, so it's a sacrifice. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Knicks beating the Kings with Kevin Harlan on the call. Seton Hall beat Indiana State University to win the NIT. Pete Alonso hit a HR in game 2 to tie it in the bottom of the ninth to help the Mets get their first win. The attorney for Rashee Rice said he wasn't running from the accident. In the final segment of the hour, we don't know the lineup yet for today's Yankees home opener. A caller wants to know what Boomer & Gio are like off the air.  Hour 3 A guy Gio knows in relation to the Vikings said they are taking JJ McCarthy with their first pick. Boomer said he could see the Broncos taking a chance on Zach Wilson. Boomer thinks Michael Penix is really interesting for this draft.

Gio remembers people wearing panties on their face as a Covid mask.  Hour 4 It's the Yankees home opener today and Marcus Stroman is on the mound. He has blocked a ton of people on social media and we just want him to pitch well. Tomorrow is Boomer's son, Gunnar's, 33rd birthday. The Governor of NY got the MTA to not charge the NYC Marathon $750K for lost toll revenues. The Garden will be rocking with the Knicks and Rangers heading into the playoffs. Spike Lee was wearing some sort of Knicks puffy vest. Julius Randle is having season ending surgery. Boomer still thinks they can get to the finals without him. Gio said the Knicks are ‘unkillable', much like BT thought the Jets were. Jerry returns for his final update of the week, and he has audio of Sgt Slaughter on with BT and Sal yesterday. Tommy Lugauer was angry with Jeff McNeil, ‘swing a bat!!' Carlos Mendoza said they have too many good hitters for this to go on much longer. The Knicks came back from down 21 to beat the Kings. Seton Hall beat Indiana State to win the NIT. The Moment of The Day involves Al not being able to name one player in the history of the Sacramento Kings. In the final segment of the week, Gio has some headlines and wants us to pick out the real one. A mother and daughter were arrested for selling illegal butt injections. Breaking news as Norby Williamson is out at ESPN after 40 years. This is the guy Pat McAfee called out.

There's assuredly a good newsletter post in this, but too bad, because the ol' brain is rattled by being reminded that Edgardo Alfonzo played 12 games for the 2006 Blue Jays (after he'd already been released that year by the Angels)… and after three weeks, got released from Toronto. Fonzie then went to Bridgeport, had his contract purchased by the Mets… and never made it back to Queens, playing 42 games for Triple-A Norfolk.The way Alfonzo went after that? He played for the 2007 and 2008 Long Island Ducks, the 2008 Tigres de Quintana Roo, the 2009 Yomiuri Giants, and finally the Newark Bears in their last season, 2010 — a team managed by Tim Raines that included Elijah Dukes, Carl Everett, Nook Logan, Scott Spiezio, and Daryle Ward. And they had Armando Benitez striking out 52 hitters in 34.2 innings for the best K/9 rate in the Atlantic League. How the heck did that team finish in last place? This is a public episode.

They also talked about John Mara being very against Thursday night schedule flexing. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with Matt LeFleur getting the fanbase ready that Jordan Love is not Aaron Rodgers. John Mara is thrilled that the NFL is not flexing Thursday night games. Roger Goodell was asked if the NFL is putting Amazon over player safety. Evidently Ian Rapoport has to stand on a box when he's on TV or he looks short. Jerry goes around the NBA from last night. Charles Barkley answers the question, ‘how many holes does a straw have?'
