Jerry starts with the sounds of the Mets losing to the Pirates. We heard from Evan Roberts and Pete Hoffman after the game. Steve Cohen just posted to X about the state of the team after Gio was wondering why he hasn't posted in a while.
The Mets suffered a devastating sweep by the Pirates, prompting Boomer to remark on the team's poor performance and the ineffectiveness of a players-only meeting and Carlos Mendoza's ejection. Given the high payroll and dismal run production, Boomer stressed the need for accountability, while Jerry's update highlighted the Mets' struggles and included sound bites from Mendoza, Lindor, and Frankie Montas, alongside news of the Yankees' victory over the A's. Separately, the Knicks are reportedly considering Dawn Staley as a head coach, a prospect Gio dismissed as unlikely, and Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for unusual betting activity in the 2023-24 season.
LeBron James has opted into his Lakers contract, but his agent Rich Paul's statement suggests a desire for a trade, possibly campaigning for Giannis to join the Lakers. This has led to speculation about what the Knicks would offer for LeBron, with one caller even suggesting he become a player/coach. In other news, Aaron Judge hit two homers as the Yankees beat the A's, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. had a home run and a triple. The Mets suffered their most lopsided series defeat in history. As NBA free agency begins, LeBron's future is a hot topic, while callers debated the Mets bringing back Syndergaard and deGrom, and if LeBron would force Bronny on the Knicks if he joined.
Following former MLB player Dave Parker's passing this weekend, which coincided with the Mets' series in Pittsburgh, Gio reminisced about classic sports photography and its decline due to the internet, while Boomer claimed to have cried over an Islanders draft pick story, which Gio doubted. Both discussed their weekend family entertainment, with Gio attending a dance recital and Boomer's grandchildren seeing the Wiggles. Jerry's update focused on the Mets' continued losses to the Pirates, prompting Steve Cohen to post about the team's state on X, while the Yankees easily defeated the A's with a Cody Bellinger homer. The segment concluded with a discussion of Tom Brady dancing with Sydney Sweeney at a wedding and Gio's dissatisfaction with a thank you from a makeup artist he helped on Fire Island.
Knicks enter free agency coachless. We discuss the NHL draft, a top LI football recruit, and the REM song "What's The Frequency, Kenneth?", Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw. Could the Knicks get LeBron? Is Jerry a 'father figure' to Rutgers draftees? Mets swept by Pirates; Lindor explains. Judge's two homers lead Yankees over A's. Moment of the Day: Eddie's Poop Cruise insulin sacrifice. Wing Bowl returns in February.
What would it take for the Knicks to get LeBron? Is Jerry a ‘father figure' to the Rutgers players that just got drafted? The Mets got swept in Pittsburgh and Lindor tried to explain what happened. The Yankees beat the A's as Judge homered twice. The Moment of the Day: Eddie gives up his insulin on the Poop Cruise.
The Mets got swept by the Pirates and were outscored 30-4. Boomer said you know the team is bad when Ron Darling is talking about ice cream sandwiches. They had a players only meeting on Saturday night that did not work. We talked about the Mets payroll and how that payroll only scored 4 runs. Carlos Mendoza got tossed from a game hoping that would help. It didn't. Because of the payroll, ‘Somebody's ass has got to be held accountable', according to Boomer.

Episode 297 features former Major League Baseball player and executive, Ed Lynch, inventor of the BBQ Hooker, John Garcia with his son, Gabriel, and winner of Netflix's season two Barbecue Showdown, Thyron Mathews Ed Lynch was drafted by the Texas Rangers and after three years in their minor league system he was traded to the New York Mets and had the opportunity to play with several outstanding players, including Dwight "Doc" Gooden and The Franchise, Tom Seaver. Ed was eventually traded to the Chicago Cubs, which is where he ended his playing career. Ed then made the decision to attend law school and shortly after graduating was back in baseball working as an executive. There is nothing better than hearing stories from someone who lived his life as a player and an executive and has many opinions on the game of baseball. John and Gabriel Garcia are a father and son combo. John, the father, is the inventor of the BBQ Hooker, a device which is meant to be a better way to flip your various proteins while grilling. We met them at the National BBQ Festival and were impressed by the device, but more than that we were impressed by John and Gabriel who are trying to "build a better mousetrap." For more information on the BBQ Hooker go to https://firecookingtools.com/products/experience-hooking-up-at-the-grill Thyron Mathews is an award-winning barbecue chef and pitmaster, known for his appearances on Netflix's Barbecue Showdown, where he won the season two title. He is also the founder of T&T Barbecue and Catering in Iowa which he started with his wife, Terri. Thyron is originally from Royal, Florida, and his Southern roots heavily influence his BBQ style. He made his way back to television as he is on the Food Network's sixth season of BBQ Brawl. We met Thyron at the National BBQ Festival where he was cooking for a huge crowd, but still was able to spend some time with us. We recommend you go to Baseball BBQ, https://baseballbbq.com for special grilling tools and accessories, Magnechef https://magnechef.com/ for excellent and unique barbecue gloves, Cutting Edge Firewood High Quality Kiln Dried Firewood - Cutting Edge Firewood in Atlanta for high quality firewood and cooking wood, Mantis BBQ, https://mantisbbq.com/ to purchase their outstanding sauces with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Kidney Project, and for exceptional sauces, Elda's Kitchen https://eldaskitchen.com/ We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.

The Mets won last night to split their series with the Braves. Griffin Canning became the latest athlete to suffer an achilles injury and everyone is trying to figure out what's going on.
C-Lo starts with the sounds of Griffin injuring his achilles. Pete Alonso was on with Evan & Tiki and said of Tiki being on the show, ‘sick'. They presented Alonso with Tommy Lugauer's lineup idea, but Pete didn't like the idea of him leading off. A pic of Evan at the game circulated on social media of him wearing the Mets bucket hat.
Pete Alonso was on with Evan & Tiki and we heard some clips. Steve Gelbs had a story about buffalo and "Debbie Downer" Keith Hernandez reminds us how they were all killed.
Dan in Carteret seemingly criticized Boomer and communicated with Dave Sims on X, as Keith McPherson ranted about the Yankees' "soft" culture. C-Lo's final update began with sounds of Griffin Canning's Achilles injury, followed by clips of Pete Alonso discussing the Mets' history against the Braves and if he'd be a Met for life, and actual PitchCom audio. Spike Eskin was duped by a fake story, which C-Lo aired. The "Moment of The Day" featured Boomer witnessing horse insemination as a child and gynecologist Dr. Dan accidentally eating a donkey penis. The week's final segment included Jim Norton telling Joe Rogan about driving around NYC seeking hookers while listening to Joe Benigno.
The hour began by discussing the top 2025 NFL head coach hot seat rankings, with Brian Daboll listed at number one, and a conversation about softball injuries, particularly Al's confusion about groin injuries. C-Lo's update highlighted the Mets' strong bullpen performance after Griffin Canning's Achilles injury and Pete Alonso's struggles throwing to first base. A bizarre caller claimed to have mistakenly eaten a donkey penis in the Caribbean. The hour concluded with Gio questioning the lack of public interest in the Diddy trial and admitting he wasn't sure what "racketeering" meant.
The Mets secured a win last night, splitting their series with the Braves. In other sports news, Griffin Canning is the latest athlete to suffer an Achilles injury, prompting concern and speculation from many, including Boomer and Gio, who voiced their own fears about Achilles injuries in daily life. Pete Alonso, on "Evan & Tiki," approved of Tiki joining the show but disliked the idea of him leading off, and a picture of Evan wearing a Mets bucket hat at the game made its rounds on social media. The segment concluded with news that Tony Gonzalez will attend his ex, Lauren Sanchez's, wedding to Jeff Bezos, which Gio found "weird."

The segment concluded with news that Tony Gonzalez will attend his ex, Lauren Sanchez's, wedding to Jeff Bezos, which Gio found "weird." Hour 2 Boomer started the hour by spraying for a "foot smell" and then recounted a bizarre dream about struggling to find a bathroom, possibly influenced by their "Poop Cruise" discussion. With Scott Van Pelt off for the summer, the team reminisced about Boomer's past idea of moving the show to afternoons, which Al, Eddie, and Jerry resisted, and Boomer expressed a desire to do summer shows from the Hamptons. Before C-Lo's update, they discussed Long Island football player Preston Carey's numerous D1 offers, then celebrated the Mets' shutout win over the Braves, which put them back in first place. They also touched on Steve Gelbs' buffalo story that prompted Keith Hernandez to recall their demise, finally ending the hour discussing the Rangers' draft and free agency.
