00:00-20:00: Le Moyne basketball broadcasters Don Familo and Chris Granozio chat about the transition to D1 and if it's everything they expected, the current season, new places and faces and arenas to call games, the future for the Dolphins and more. Plus, why they have kept the media grind going and Mets/Yanks outlooks.
The Mets keep rolling, winning their seventh straight after a walk off hit by Marte. Edwin Diaz left with hip cramps, which we've never heard of. The Yankees won in Cleveland and Paul Goldschmidt had himself a 3-hit day and Judge had a triple. Game 3 has the Knicks in Detroit tonight and Thibs was asked about Karl-Anthony Towns' lack of performance in the fourth quarter. The Islanders have fired their radio broadcast team and it looks like they won't have one next season.
Tonight's NFL Draft: Sanders' surprising drop worries Boomer, who initially saw him as a Giants pick but now he's falling, possibly due to unwanted attention. Boomer also ponders Cousins and Rodgers. Phil Simms labeled Jaxson Dart "pudgy," adding to his draft concerns. Jerry's final update includes Milroe, Dart, and Carter discussing their Giants' interactions. Mets secure their 7th straight win (Soto's outfield assist). Yankees avoid a sweep (Judge's triple). Doug Gottlieb appeared on the Dan Patrick Show. Today's Moment: Imagining John Mara asking Simms to unretire #11. Gio's music pick: Chappell Roan's country tune.
Shedeur Sanders' draft stock falls, confusing Boomer about his potential first-round pick status. Gio shares Joe Schoen's son's deleted Jaxson Dart highlight reel and previews Giants/Jets draft plans. Jerry has draft needs audio (Saints QB). Mets win 7th straight (Marte walk-off, Diaz hurt). Yankees win (Goldschmidt 3 hits, Judge triple). The Knicks play Detroit (Thibs on Karl-Anthony Towns). Islanders fire radio team. Gio notes another Schoen/Dart family link.
Todd McShay sees a path for Giants to draft Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart, who shares a Utah high school with Zach Wilson. Gio wonders if Utah personalities fit NY teams, recalling a 'pudgy' note on Dart from Phil Simms. Jerry's update: Yankees lose (Judge misplay), Mets win again (Alonso RBI double), Dart staying home for draft. NBA playoff recap. The hour ends with Yankees losing another despite Judge's hits.
The Knicks-Pistons series starts tomorrow. Gio, who found the Knicks' regular season boring due to their dominance, predicts a Knicks win in six but questions their ability to compete with the Celtics, especially considering the Pistons' physicality. Fan engagement is high, particularly regarding Karl-Anthony Towns. A caller wonders if the city's excitement will be lower without the Rangers in the playoffs. Another believes Aaron Rodgers intentionally embarrassed the Jets. Later, after a discussion about martinis, audio of Rodgers' negative meeting with the Jets aired. In baseball, the Yankees beat the Rays (Jazz Chisholm ejected), and the Mets beat the Cardinals. Last night was Sam Rosen's final Rangers game. The hour ended with Gio questioning the Easter Bunny's association with eggs and the quality of his gifts compared to Santa, also sharing his dislike for jelly beans.
Jerry starts with the sounds of the Gators winning the NCAA Championship. Charles Barkley took another shot at the women of San Antonio. The Mets shutout the Marlins 2-0 as Juan Soto drove in Francisco Lindor with a double. Jerry is doing impressions of Boomer during this update and it's making us all uncomfortable. The Yankees lost in the snow in Detroit yesterday.
A Queens dean reported a student's father sent them inappropriate photos after a school outreach about the child's poor performance, prompting Boomer to question Gio's potential reaction to a bad report card. Jerry's update highlighted the Mets' 2-0 shutout of the Marlins (Senga's strong pitching, Lindor's 3 hits), Judge's RBI in the Yankees' loss, and the Dodgers' White House visit. Florida won the NCAA Championship. JJ Watt discussed the difficulty of criticizing players, countered by Boomer's "call it like you see it" stance. The Kelce brothers discussed detachable body parts. Lastly, Yankees and Mets games were moved to daytime due to cold, and the Knicks' performance against different caliber teams was noted.
The New York sports scene saw mixed results, with the Mets and Yankees both suffering losses. Jazz Chisholm's hitless night followed his public spat, while Francisco Lindor's defensive errors plagued the Mets. Conversely, the Knicks defeated the struggling Sixers, prompting optimism despite Gio's assessment of their "bored" regular season play. Kodai Senga's strong pitching was a bright spot for the Mets, though Sean Manaea's setback was noted. Elsewhere, the Dodgers maintained their undefeated streak against the winless Braves. NFL news included Roger Goodell's concerns over the "tush push," Steelers' hints about Aaron Rodgers, and Jerry Jones's contract talks with Micah Parsons. In the NBA, Nikola Jokic and Steph Curry delivered spectacular scoring performances. The hour concluded with a humorous recollection of Boomer's accidental call to Brodie Van Wagenen and reflections on his Mets tenure.
Boomer and Gio convened in their usual spots, with Gio recounting the high costs of a Disney princess makeover for his daughter, before questioning Boomer about the Giants' quarterback strategy following the Jameis Winston signing. Boomer asserted they must draft a quarterback if Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders are available. Jerry's update featured sounds from Cam Ward's pro day, Adam Schein's dismissal of the Winston signing, and Juan Soto's reunion with his former teammates during the Mets-Yankees game. Jerry also played audio of Brandon Tierney debating callers about premature celebrations after St. John's single win. The hour concluded with Boomer discussing his successful fundraiser at The Tap Room and his reading of "A Boy Named Boomer" to his grandson's class.
With Opening Day approaching, Gio highlighted the Mets' challenging division and their bolstered offense, emphasizing their pitching concerns. Boomer analyzed the Yankees' lineup, noting a lack of speed. The discussion shifted to legionnaires' disease and Mookie Betts's health, with Boomer speculating on a bacterial infection or virus. They also reminisced about the five-year anniversary of remote work during the pandemic. Jerry's update included Cam Ward's pro day, Puka Nacua's early retirement plans, Deion Sanders's critique of the "t-step," and Dan Hurley's "60 Minutes" appearance. The hour concluded with Gio considering attending Peter Schwartz's arena football team press conference.
This week's baseball buzz centers on the Mets and Yankees' opening day, with concerns about the Yankees' injury-hampered start and the Mets' high-pressure expectations. Gio expressed skepticism about the Mets' current rotation. C-Lo's update featured Rick Pitino's post-game comments, player reactions to St. John's loss, Dan Hurley's emotional UCONN comments, and Mookie Betts's ongoing health struggles. The hour concluded with news of a Paul Skenes rookie card selling for over a million dollars, and the A's sparse media coverage in Sacramento.
There's so much going on that here's C-Lo whole first update with all the bells and whistles. The Bengals locked up Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. We went through the locals in the NCAA tournament and then heard John Minko on the call as St. Johns beat Creighton. The Mets and Yankees named their opening day starters. Dave Sims and Suzyn Waldman called Yankees games together this weekend and we heard a Sims HR call. Mookie Betts lost 15 lbs with flu-like symptoms and will not play in Japan. Joey Gallo is going to try to be a pitcher now.
Boomer & Jerry discuss the NCAA brackets, including Maryland's placement and St. John's weaknesses. C-Lo gives an update and discusses the Rangers. The Bengals signed Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. John Minko calls St. John's win over Creighton. The Mets and Yankees announce opening day starters. Dave Sims and Suzyn Waldman call Yankees games. Mookie Betts is out with flu-like symptoms. Joey Gallo is attempting to become a pitcher. 60 Minutes covers drones flying over military bases.
00:00-20:00: Le Moyne basketball broadcasters Don Familo and Chris Granozio chat about the transition to D1 and if it's everything they expected, the current season, new places and faces and arenas to call games, the future for the Dolphins and more. Plus, why they have kept the media grind going and Mets/Yanks outlooks.
The Mets already have an injury to a pitcher as Sean Manaea has been shut down with an oblique strain and the start of the season is in jeopardy for him. Gio said Yankees fans are excited about this as they're still mad that the Mets got Juan Soto. The season is still a month away so Boomer is not concerned about Manaea. Giancarlo Stanton is also hurt with tennis elbow in both elbows, but he also came back to NY for ‘personal reasons'.
In a podcast sure to agree with you, Vlad Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays can't reach a contract extension, the Mets and Yanks have a difference of opinion and third base for the Red Sox really is a hot corner.

The Mets and Yankees are already dealing with injuries. Gio is nervous about the high expectations for the Mets and doesn't like their new spring training hats. He also finds the Mrs. Met costume curvy and Rosie Red 'sexy'. A Delta plane flipped in Toronto, but no one died. Devers refuses to switch positions for Bregman. Gio was affected by the new Netflix docuseries on Gabby Petito.
Mets and Yankees players have started reporting to spring training so we've been seeing a lot of videos of players walking into their facilities. Boomer said there is no competition for the Yankees in the A.L. Gio said the Mets are going to have a lot of haters this year because of the money they spent and the expectations they have. The afternoon show was talking about Juan Soto's money being equal to that of putting a dome on Citi Field.
We talked about the Drone/UPA stuff going on in NJ and Gio said they have started showing up on Long Island. We went through all the updates from yesterday when the White House Press Secretary told us there's nothing to see here. Jerry returns for an update but first Boomer said Daniel Penny is going to the Army/Navy game with JD Vance. Jerry starts with Steve Cohen at the Juan Soto press conference and said the Yankees will end up winning on some deals and the Mets will win on some deals and that's the beauty of competition. Week 15 opened with the Rams beating the Niners and it was all field goals. A LB on the Niners refused to enter the game in the third quarter and instead decided to go to the locker room. The Moment of The Day: We inserted Phil Simms voice in the DUI PSA. In the final segment of the hour, our week 15 NFL picks.
Gio doesn't think the Mets are going to dole out contracts based on the nostalgia of the 2024 team. David Stearns has to look at Pete Alonso as a guy in his 30's who had a down year and is declining, and he has an agent that is going to get him the most money possible. It will also be interesting to see what the Mets rotation will look like next year. Juan Soto is going to take the most money he can get. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Ravens beating the Bucs, 41-31. The Ravens are 5-2 after starting 0-2. The Cardinals beat the Chargers, but Jim Harbaugh had a Nelson Mandela quote after the game. Bill Belichick said, ‘the Jets are the Jets and Woody's Woody'. Joe Benigno was on with Evan and Tiki and was not happy with Aaron Rodgers, Garrett Wilson, Greg Zuerlein, Sauce Gardner, the defensive line and Jeff Ulbrich. Brian Daboll was asked about the lack of effort by Deonte Banks. Tiki Barber doesn't want him on the team if that's the effort he's giving. Bronny and LeBron could play together tonight in Los Angeles. In the final segment of the hour, Tua will start for the Dolphins this week. We talked about Daniel Jones and playing better on the road (they are in Pittsburgh this week).
Jerry has all the sound from the Mets Loss, the Yankees punching their ticket to the World Series and the lack of offense from the Giants and Jets.
Tonight is as much of a must win game without actually being a must win game for the Mets. The Yankees also play tonight and we still expect a sweep. A caller said the fans behind home plate have no energy and it's coming across that way on TV. We took a call from Minnesota about Jeff McNeil and it was a strange one. Boomer talked about the fragility of a locker room. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of Howie Rose as Ohtani hits a 3 run blast into the upper deck. Chris Russo talked about Tony Romo having no sense of history. Brian Daboll talked about the injury to Andrew Thomas. Aaron Rodgers was looking back at some old film on Davante Adams. The Moment of The Day: a nose spray and lozenges for ED. In the final segment of the show, a little bit of Knicks talk with the addition of Karl-Anthony Towns. Right now Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers are living together right now.
Lots going on with the local teams but we started with the Mets win over the Dodgers to tie the series 1-1. Gio said the Mets are walking way too many guys. Vientos said he took it personally when they internationally walked Lindor to get to him with the bases loaded. There are a few Mets who are trying too hard at the plate. That's Francisco Alvarez and Jose Iglesias. The Yankees beat the Guardians in game 1 and Carlos Rodon pitched great. You got homers from Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton and Weaver shut it down in the pen. Pete Alonso had a great slide into home and a great stretch at first on the huge double play. Jerry is here with his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Jets losing to the Bills, 23-20. There were way too many penalties in this game. Rodgers' interception late was a key part of the loss. Jerry has the sounds of John Sterling as Juan Soto homered. We heard from Howie Rose as Mark Vientos hit a grand slam. In the final segment of the hour, Gio said he is irrationally hating Shohei Ohtani. Gio remembers Mike and the Mad Dog loving ratings talk as to who had more viewers yesterday, the Mets, Yankees or Jets.
We talked about the Mets tying the series 1-1. C-Mac said the only way the Mets season is ruined, is if the Yankees beat the Mets in the World Series. Gio disagrees with this. Boomer is only focused on the Dodgers and is not worried about the World Series right now. Boomer wants to enjoy the ride as a Mets fan. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with the Aaron Rodgers interception with under 2 minutes to play. In the postgame, Rodgers was essentially blaming Mike Williams for the pick. Sauce Gardner is putting the blame on himself, saying he needs to bring more energy. We heard the sounds of John Sterling as Juan Soto hit a HR last night. We heard from Howie Rose as Mark Vientos hit a grand slam. The Moment of The Day: That's a great story FOR YOU, but nobody else cares. In the final segment of the show, Jerry Jones was battling with the sports radio station in Dallas. We also talked more about Aaron Rodgers seemingly blaming WR Mike Williams for his interception.
Phil Simms joins us in his usual Wednesday spot and we started with the firing of Rob Saleh. Phil said Jeff Ulbrich is ‘the opposite of Rob Saleh'. Simms said the Jets offense might be the worst he has seen so far this season. We also talked about the Giants upcoming Sunday night game against the Bengals and how they looked last week in Seattle. Phil said Daboll is getting better game by game the way he camouflages things. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds from Citi Field and Jesse Winker hitting an upper deck HR in the fourth. The Yankees play in Kansas City and Derek Jeter said that maybe it's good for them to be on the road and feel less pressure. Jerry has reaction to Saleh's firing from Adam Schein, Mike Francessa and Chris Russo. In the final segment of the hour, yesterday Boomer got a voicemail from somebody that had a message he wanted Boomer to give to the Jets. It involves the Jets offensive linemen's ‘splits' and how far apart their feet are. Gio wonders why Jets fans never blame the offensive line while the Giants fans always blame them.
What a time to be alive. The Mets are up 2 games on the Braves and the Jets are favored by 6 ½ over the Patriots. Luisangel Acuna hit his first HR as a Met and he looked really comfortable. We talked about the Mets team meeting they had Monday and Gio thinks they were delivering bad news about Francisco Lindor's injury. We talked about Aaron Rodgers and getting rid of the ball quickly like Tom Brady. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Mets beating the Nationals big time. Pete Alonso talked about Lindor's injury and how ‘the boys will hold it down'. The Yankees had no problem with the Mariners in Seattle. The Mariners tried a steal of home with the bases loaded and a 3-0 count on Justin Turner. It failed, inning over. Juan Soto homered and has now hit one in every MLB ballpark. Evan Roberts has a rallying phrase for the Giants: ‘Holy Crap'. Evan put together a song using A-I. In the final segment of the hour, ESPN SEC broadcaster Peter Burns had to have the heimlich maneuver performed on him. It took 4 people before it worked. Jerry saved somebody in the newsroom a few years ago and didn't tell anyone. We have a Life Vac here and work and Gio wants it in the studio.
We really broke down the Phil Simms commercial for ‘Balance of Nature'. Donald Trump is going to be at Nassau Coliseum tonight. What will that do for traffic in the area? A caller said his brother was choking at a BBQ and had to do the heimlich on himself using a chair. One caller had to heimlich 2 different people at 2 different times and had to heimlich himself once. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Mets beating the Nationals as Acuna had 3 hits including his first MLB HR. The Yankees beat the Mariners and Juan Soto homered, which means he's homered in every MLB ballpark. Aaron Rodgers talked about getting some things fixed for tomorrow night's home opener. Jerod Mayo talked about needing more from the Patriots passing game. In the final segment of the hour a caller wonders if you'd rather have the history of the Giants or the Niners?
Nick Bosa talked about playing the Vikings this week compared with the Jets last week and it sounds like he doesn't think the Jets are very good. There was an open mic at the Raiders facility where a reporter was trashing the team and QB Gardner Minshew. Gio is trying to decide what team to take in the knockout pool this week. A caller is sick of Boomer making excuses for Daniel Jones. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Mets beating the Blue Jays, 6-2. The Mets were no-hit until the ninth. Lindor broke up the no-hitter with a HR and he thanked police and firemen after the game on 9/11. The Yankees beat the Royals in the 11th on a Jazz Chisholm single. Shannon Sharpe came clean as his Instagram live recorded the sounds of him having sex with a woman. Ochocinco was baffled and disappointed (tongue in cheek). Deshaun Watson met the media after yet another allegation from another woman. Boomer thinks he looks miserable. Daniel Jones is not getting caught up with fan reaction. Joe Buck explained what happened on the golf course when his wife wound up with a broken ankle. In the final segment of the hour, there is a Japanese restaurant in NY that does not allow tipping. We took a call from a restaurant owner who has a problem with Al's complaints about food quality and tipping.
The Mets won again last night but Gio is still being cautious with his expectations for this season because of what happened 2 years ago. Boomer is not being cautious and is all in, but Gio said Boomer got to see the ‘69 Mets and the ‘86 Mets so he has seen them win it all. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Mets beating the Blue Jays and audio from the afternoon show's excitement with the win. Francisco Lindor hit a HR in the ninth to break up the no hitter. Juan Soto hit a HR in the same at bat he fouled a ball off his foot. Shannon Sharpe said he was embarrassed by the Instagram live that went out with the sounds of him having sex. Deshaun Watson met the media and was asked about the latest lawsuit. Aaron Rodgers called the season a ‘nice, slow Bolero'. In the final segment of the hour, Joe Buck's wife needed foot surgery after he hit her with a golf ball off the tee. Anthony in Belleville calls in and wants credit for stuff.
Today is the 23rd anniversary of 9/11 and we opened with our thoughts on the topic. We also talked about the importance of sports right after that and how it brought people together including the Mike Piazza HR. Gio couldn't believe how some of the Jets fans on air here were so negative, considering how positive they were last season as soon as Rodgers went down. This week they play the Titans and Boomer said they are a better team than people think they are. The Jets are a favorite on the road and that's because of the QB in Tennessee. They can't start 0-2. They now play a string of quarterbacks that aren't great. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with the Mets losing to the Blue Jays as David Peterson had a tough night on the mound. The Yankees also lost as they were shut out by Seth Lugo and the Royals. Benches cleared last night in Philadelphia between the Phillies and Rays. Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee and said to come along for the ride but if you jump off now, don't come back. Joe Benigno was not happy with the defense. Chris Russo said Saleh will be fired if the Jets are 1-4. Carl Banks said LT thought they could have grabbed 22 of the Giants' legends and played better Sunday. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry asked Eddie about smelly teenagers on the Warm Up Show.
The NFL fans have had enough of Taylor Swift but we're in for it again this season. Gio understands how it can be annoying. A lot of fans are also sick of Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs always winning. Not Boomer. He went all ‘Brokeback Mountain', saying he can't quit Mahomes. Gio wonders why we don't talk about Lamar Jackson as much even though he's won multiple MVPs. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Lamar Jackson talking about opening with the Chiefs tonight. Ochocinco talked about social media only showing smiling couples. Jason Kelce tells his kids cats are poisonous so his kids don't want one. Davante Adams is calling fake news saying he's unhappy with the Raiders. Bill Belichick joined Instagram and his first video of him reading is cringeworthy. The Yankees lost to the Rangers again and still have to figure out their closer situation. The Mets won their seventh straight while sweeping the Red Sox. In the final segment of the hour, there's going to be another ‘Match', but this time it's all 4 professional golfers. Boomer has no interest. ‘I don't care'. It'll be Rory and Scottie vs Brooks and Bryson. Gio can't believe how negative Boomer is being about it.
The Mets won their sixth straight and Evan Roberts said they have to make the playoffs. Gio doesn't agree as nothing will happen if they don't. Carlos Mendoza and David Stearns will still be here if they don't make it. Boomer said they have to make the playoffs and he said if they don't it will be like the 2007 team. Gio and Eddie said that is a terrible comparison. Clay Holmes blew his league leading 11th save last night and the Yankees are going to have to make a move in choosing another closer. Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first Boomer said it smells in the hallways and in the Evan and Tiki studio. Jerry has the sounds of the Mets beating the Red Sox again. Lindor homered and David Peterson had 11 K's. Clay Holmes gave up a walk-off Grand Slam to the Rangers. Brian Daboll confirmed that he is calling the offensive plays. In the final segment of the hour, many people sent Gio the article about Darius Paduch, the urologist accused of ‘crimes against men'.
Trent Williams got his deal done with the Niners and Boomer wonders if he'll play this week against the Jets considering he hasn't been at practice at all. Boomer said this is the week to play the Niners with all of these key players just getting their deals done without a lot of practice. The only thing that matters week 1 for the Jets is how does the offense look? Jerry returns for an update but first we compare the careers of Eli Manning and Phil Simms. Jerry starts with audio from Kay Adams' show where she talked about Daniel Jones being ‘her boy'. Gio thinks there's something there. The Mets won their sixth straight but the Braves won as well. Clay Holmes gave up a walk off Grand Slam as the Yankees lost to Texas. In the final segment of the hour, Pat Boyle comes in as Gio thinks he would be a great sperm donor.
Boomer & Gio are back with the Mets ½ game out of the Wild Card and the Yankees ½ game up in the A.L. East
The Boomer & Gio Show is back for good as Boomer starts year 18 as the morning man here at WFAN. The Mets are playing well right now and are a ½ game out of the last Wild Card spot. They end the season with the Phillies, Braves and Brewers. We also come back to the Yankees with a ½ game lead in the A.L. East. We also get our first Football Friday. The Chiefs/Ravens game is on NBC and the Eagles/Packers game in Brazil is on Peacock. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the Mets win over the Red Sox. Luis Severino went 7 strong innings. The Yankees beat the Rangers and Jerry has all the sound. Giancarlo Stanton hit his 25th HR. Gerrit Cole left with a calf cramp. The White Sox lost again. Tyreek Hill met the media and talked about Mike McDaniel and Tua. Ja'Marr Chase is still up in the air for week 1 as he's looking for a new deal. In the final segment of the hour, new Giants LB Brian Burns has had it with NJ/NY traffic. He told a story of going through the Lincoln Tunnel and getting confused when he got into NYC and wound up back in the Tunnel to NJ.
Tom Brady was asked for his top five current quarterbacks in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers is on his list at number five. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with Cleveland beating the Yankees in the longest game of the year. The Mets also lost, and like the Yankees, had some problems in the field. We heard from Malik Nabers who was on with Evan and Tiki yesterday. Brian Flores responded to the criticism he received from Tua. Shannon Sharpe and Ochocinco discussed it as well. The Moment of The Day involves Brandon Tierney, a nicely timed Eddie drop, and Boomer not being able to do his read because he was laughing too hard. In the final segment of the show, we went looking for Brandon Tierney but he's not here today. Gio said we'll find out why in the first segment of the solo Sal show today at 10am.
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.
Joe Benigno came by during the break to talk to Willie Colon. That reminded Jerry of Cris Carter saying he threatened to punch Skip Bayless in the face. Jerry tells a story of Joe telling Dallas Green that his team stinks when he met him in the Mets dugout. Jerry tells Willie the story of hitting a golf ball off a tree and right into his own face. Peter returns for an update and we tried to get him to list porn sites on the internet. Peter starts with the sounds of the Mets beating the Rockies. The Angels walked Aaron Judge another 3 times in the doubleheader last night. Jerry is not watching the Olympics and Willie can't believe that. In the final segment of the hour, the gynecologist/moon chaser is going to watch a meteor shower. He delivered 7 babies in 26 hours yesterday.
Joe and Jerry reminisce about the days of hosting overnights on WFAN. Jerry also recounts a story when he thought he was getting fired by Mark Chernoff and it somehow involved the Nets. We also took some calls on the Mets, Yanks and the Jets. Peter returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Mets beating the Cardinals and Pete Alonso being dropped down to fifth in the lineup. The White Sox lost their 21st game in a row, tying the A.L. record. The Giants and Lions were throwing punches in yesterday's joint practice. Aaron Rodgers talked about having big expectations. In the final segment of the hour, we talked one hit wonders.
Boomer & Gio are out this week so today it's Jerry and Joe Benigno. Joe is not happy with the Mets performance this weekend against the Angels. Jerry said we still don't know what this Mets team is right now. Joe and Jerry both think Carlos Mendoza is doing a great job this season. We also talked about Pete Alonso's season as the Mets have to decide if he's going to be worth the money. Joe B wants Steve Cohen to sign Juan Soto. Aaron Judge was intentionally walked 4 times this weekend including 3 times yesterday. C-Lo is on updates today and he went to see Hootie & The Blowfish at PNC Arts Center. The Yankees beat the Blue Jays in 10 with a walk off hit by DJ. Jerry wonders if Boone got a call from upstairs to pull Torres from the game on Friday for not hustling. The Mets lost to the Angels and now have to go to St. Louis today for a makeup game and then to Colorado. In the final segment of the hour, Joe B has a Todd Rundgren memory about a dance club named, ‘The Marshmallow'. A caller wants Joe to give Steve Cohen a grade. He does, and it's not great.
The NFL's new kickoff debuted last night and Gio is not a fan. We could really be headed for two-hand touch in the NFL. Which famous landmarks around the world are overrated? Jerry returns for his final update of the day but first we discuss the traffic yesterday being worse than ever. In general it has been rough lately. John Mara still believes in Daniel Jones. He expects big things and said that the offensive line didn't block for Jones last season. Jerry has a suggestion for a family bet. He wants to get crazy and bet the White Sox -1.5 runs to win and end their losing streak. Paul Blackburn will meet his new Mets teammates today. Hopefully he doesn't stink. The Moment of The Day involves Gio setting up “win/loss” as only Mad Dog could. In the final segment of the day, Gio says the Mets and Yankees better keep playing well while he's on vacation. We will be at Jets camp when Gio returns from Italy. Hopefully Aaron Rodgers isn't as awkward this year. Al went on a cruise to Bermuda. Maybe the Mets and Yankees will go undefeated while Boomer and Gio are on vacation.
We talked about the Knicks giving Tom Thibodeau a 3 year extension. We then took some of those calls that Stugotz wanted and the first guy did the ‘if George were alive' bit. And this is why we don't take a lot of calls. Gio compares the Yankees to a restaurant that is getting by on reputation alone even though it's not as good as it was. We talked about the state of radio in a world where you can get music in different places. Gio can't believe how much talk there is about the NBA on TNT pregame show going away after next year. Gio said great shows end all the time, but this one is being covered like it's the greatest show of all time ending. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with the Mets beating the Yankees again behind 5 home runs. Aaron Judge talked about the upcoming trade deadline. Aaron Rodgers talked about always wanting to travel to Egypt. Rodgers said the Super Bowl has to be the goal and he believes the Jets are one of those teams. Daniel Jones talked about the Giants looking to draft a QB. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about whether we are golfing today or not (that's correct, that was the segment).
Boomer thinks today will be ‘Jalen Brunson Day', as he expects the Knicks to sign him to an extension today. The Yankees lost their 8th straight series and started an important one tonight against the Orioles in Baltimore before the all star break. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with the audio of Aaron Rodgers saying he can't wait to play with Davante Adams again. Tyreek Hill took to Instagram with his top 5 QBs in the league and he included Baker Mayfield. Hill is having his fifth child…this year! The Yankees lost to the Rays again and have dropped 8 straight series. The Yanks are 7-18 in their last 25 games. The Mets shutout the Nationals 7-0 as Brandon Nimmo had a bases clearing double. The Moment of The Day involves Al's solution for who will do the Yankees radio broadcast for the playoffs. In the final segment of the week, we talked about going to the Mets game yesterday with our kids and grandkids.
Aaron Rodgers was approached by a sad Jets fan who was crying that he wants a Super Bowl. This was at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. Gio said this guy represents all Jets fans that want Rodgers to save the organization. Gio was feeling it this time last year, but he's just not feeling it this year. Gio said Rodgers is not the guy who's going to do it. He is more distracted by things that aren't football and is coming off a huge injury for his age. Plus he's got Rob Saleh and Nathaniel Hackett. Boomer thinks the NFL set up the Jets schedule for success. After the Niners, the Jets face 4 teams with questionable quarterbacks.
