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.
Hour 1 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." 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. Hour 3 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.

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.
Hour 2: The Yankees have created an environment of lack of accountability. The Yankees need to build some toughness, and instead they are allowed to be soft. Plus, going on Evan's show is becoming a good omen for the Mets, today Pete Alonso was on the show, and he's having a great game.

BT and Sal delve into the New York Mets' recent struggles, arguing that Pete Alonso's severe slump is directly tied to the team's abysmal 1-9 record over their last ten games. While acknowledging Alonso's hot start to the season, Sal emphasizes his current lack of production, including 16 strikeouts, two extra-base hits, and one RBI in that stretch, as a major reason for the Mets' collapsing offense and their plummeting playoff aspirations, leading them to question the team's overall construction and urgent need for significant trades
BT & Sal delve into the Mets' struggles and what they believe is a concerning lack of fire, especially when facing Ronald Acuña Jr. The hosts lament Acuña's "gyrations and dancing" and question why the Mets can't "put one in the back of Acuña at some point," suggesting a more aggressive, old-school response to his showboating to ignite a much-needed competitive edge within the team. They critique the Mets' current accepting attitude towards substandard play and debate potential lineup changes to spark some energy, including moving Pete Alonso to the two-hole, while ultimately stressing the importance of the team's attitude dictating performance, much like the Braves' energetic approach.
BT and Sal dive into the New York Mets' alarming slide, with nine losses in their last ten games. Sal points the finger directly at Pete Alonso, highlighting his recent struggles at the plate, including a high number of strikeouts and a severe lack of extra-base hits and RBIs, despite Alonso's strong start to the season. The hosts discuss whether this current slump is a temporary blip or a sign of deeper issues, emphasizing the team's lack of "juice" and energy, the poor offensive production from the bottom of the lineup, and the need for General Manager David Stearns to make proactive moves to address the team's mounting problems.
BT and Sal dive into the Mets' walk-up music from the previous day's game, dissecting the choices with humorous takes. Sal particularly lambasts Reid Garrett's choice of Cher's "Believe," arguing for more pump-up, rock-oriented anthems like AC/DC or Guns N' Roses, playfully debating whether it's "directly attaching a gender" to musical taste. They ponder alternative female artists for "Woman's Night" walk-up songs, including Nicki Minaj and Stevie Nicks, before veering into a lively argument about the perceived end of the game after Soto's strikeout and the ongoing debate of who's having a better season: Juan Soto or Pete Alonso.
BT and Sal's "Call of the Day" on June 24, 2025, dove into the ongoing debate surrounding the Mets, particularly the performance of Juan Soto and Pete Alonso, with callers weighing in on the team's struggles and fan support. A highlight of the conversation was Sal's retelling of Evan Roberts's unfortunate foul ball incident at a Mets game, where Evan allegedly ducked and hid under his seat, nearly causing a foul ball to hit a young girl, showcasing his lack of "foul ball luck" and leading to humorous jabs about his commitment as a fan and his perceived reluctance to attend games with Sal. The hosts also touched on Evan's seemingly half-hearted invitations to games and his reliance on a portable fan, adding to the lighthearted ribbing.
BT and Sal passionately dissect the Mets' recent struggles, particularly focusing on Pete Alonso's alarming slump, which they attribute as a major factor in the team's abysmal 1-9 record. Sal, in particular, highlights Alonso's poor stats over the last ten games, including 16 strikeouts, two extra-base hits, and one RBI, and debates with callers about whether Alonso's hot start to the season was sustainable compared to Juan Soto's more consistent production. They express frustration with the Mets' overall lack of "juice" and urgency, suggesting the team needs to make proactive moves to improve the lineup's floor rather than waiting for the trade deadline, all while fending off listeners who defend Alonso or question their critical stance.
On their June 24th show, BT and Sal were fired up dissecting the simultaneous slumps of both New York baseball teams. They pinpointed Pete Alonso's alarming lack of production as a key reason for the Mets' brutal 1-9 run, especially against division rivals. For the Yankees, the hosts tore into their persistent offensive inconsistencies, particularly their inability to get timely hits and their lineup issues, leading them to question whether both Big Apple teams are heading for a fiery freefall or if these are merely temporary blips. The discussion also included a humorous recount of Evan Roberts' unfortunate Mets game experience.

In a fiery rant, Sal dissects the Mets' struggles heading into their crucial series against the Braves, lamenting Pete Alonso's "awful at-bats" and a general lack of sustained success for the team. He pulls no punches, highlighting the historic "house of horrors" that is Atlanta for the Mets and emphasizing the need to "put the hammer down" on the Braves. While primarily focused on the Mets, Sal also manages to weave in sharp criticism of Anthony Volpe, pointedly calling him a "disappointment" and far from the "star" Brian Cashman projected him to be.
