Podcast appearances and mentions of pete hoffman

From 'Rico Brogna' (subscribe here): Evan Roberts and his co-host Pete Hoffman return for their annual "Drunk Rico" podcast, and the timing couldn't be better. After a demoralizing two months, the Mets finally gave them a reason to celebrate with an easy victory, but don't expect Roberts to just be happy. While he enjoys the win, he can't help but soberly reflect on the team's struggles and the broader issues in baseball, including the state of the game, Manfred's greed, and the Mets' ticket price hikes. Amidst the drunken rants, Roberts delivers a serious and passionate take on the future of the sport, all while sipping from a pirate cup and lamenting the loss of his Mets bucket hat to a hurricane. He may be happy, but he's not a sucker.

Evan Roberts and his co-host, Pete Hoffman, are gearing up for their annual Drunk Rico podcast, a fan-favorite tradition where they record while drinking and reacting to a Mets game. As Evan heads on vacation, the duo plans to continue the podcast, promising a Drunk Rico episode sometime during the Mets' next series. The highlight of the conversation is the annual drunk show, which is a big event for loyal listeners. They decide to schedule the special episode for Tuesday night's game against the Washington Nationals, with the tentative agreement that Pete will try to sneak away from his family trip to Disney World to join in on the fun. Evan reassures listeners that he's a "happy drunk" and the podcast will be filled with laughter and a general sense of jovial misery, rather than an angry, fiery rant.

Jerry has the sounds of Pete Hoffman, the host of WFAN daily's podcast, interviewing a professional women's hockey player. He thinks it comes across as flirtatious. The Yankees lost in Toronto and had another catcher's interference. Springer hit 2 home runs, including a grand slam. So we have more from that including post game explanations.

The Mets and Yankees are struggling as they prepare for their series, with the Mets even lacking a Sunday starter. NBA free agency sees the Knicks' roster seemingly set and LeBron's agent claiming four teams are interested. A man shared his story of leaving his fiancée for an HR colleague. Updates included the Blue Jays beating the Yankees, the Nets introducing draft picks, and Gio predicting a terrible Dolphins season and Mike McDaniel's firing. The "Moment of The Day" featured a Pete Hoffman interview, and the show concluded with a Diamondbacks fan banned for repeated interference and a caller who tries to get six baseballs per game.

Hour 1 NBA free agency is buzzing, with the Bucks making moves and the Knicks signing Guerschon Yabusele. The NHL's free agency has been quieter, though the Rangers did pick up Vladislav Gavrikov. On the baseball front, the Yankees lost in Toronto due to defensive errors. The Mets face a doubleheader that will strain their pitching ahead of their series against the Yankees, a matchup that's sure to leave one fanbase fuming given both teams' recent pitching woes. Elsewhere, WNBA player Sophie Cunningham stirred controversy with her post-game actions and comments on league expansion. Hour 2 A production error led to the wrong Sports Minute being aired, much to Boomer's frustration. Discussions then turned to the puzzling trend of rising NBA salaries and high team valuations, like the Lakers' $10 billion sale, despite years of declining TV ratings. Callers suggested deals with gambling companies might be propping up the league. In other sports news, the Yankees lost in Toronto with more fielding issues, and George Springer hit two homers, including a grand slam. The hour concluded with news that NBA player Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for a potential sports betting scandal, prompting a caller to criticize leagues for their involvement with sportsbooks. Hour 3 Boomer was annoyed by a production error during the Sports Minute. Discussions continued on Malik Beasley's gambling accusations and the potential for players to fix prop bets. News updates included Red Panda's unicycle fall and George Springer's dominant performance against the Yankees. A caller suggested betting on WNBA "unders" based on players' menstrual cycles. Finally, a Queens driving school was exposed for illegal licenses, prompting a Google search for NYC's gambling revenue allocation, which largely funds public schools. Hour 4 The Mets and Yankees are struggling as they prepare for their series, with the Mets even lacking a Sunday starter. NBA free agency sees the Knicks' roster seemingly set and LeBron's agent claiming four teams are interested. A man shared his story of leaving his fiancée for an HR colleague. Updates included the Blue Jays beating the Yankees, the Nets introducing draft picks, and Gio predicting a terrible Dolphins season and Mike McDaniel's firing. The "Moment of The Day" featured a Pete Hoffman interview, and the show concluded with a Diamondbacks fan banned for repeated interference and a caller who tries to get six baseballs per game.

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.

Pete Hoffman Show Open: Pete Hoffman rips the Mets lack luster efforts and problems on both sides. The Mets need to add a pitcher and need to start hitting and they cannot wait for the deadline.

From 'WFAN Daily' (subscribe here): The Mets actually get a great start from Frankie Montas, but the bullpen blows it. The Yankees take a lead in the 4th, and then get two singles he rest of the game including extra innings!!!

Pete Hoffman and Alex Azarm talk about championships in New York and fanbases of teams that fall short of the title.

Gio is unsure if he should be excited about the Knicks' potential. Boomer asks what they need to beat Boston. Gio dismisses Cleveland, despite their good season.

C-Lo gives an update, but first they discuss Holland Tunnel traffic and Evan Roberts and Pete Hoffman taking gummies before recording their podcast. Brandon Tierney suggested they smoke a blunt instead. BT said Carton changed Evan.

Sports news included the Knicks' win, Adam Silver's proposed rule change, Steve Wilks' new role, and Rutgers' victory. David Blough's potential Jets role brought up a bad memory for Gio. The show questioned the 49ers' firing of Steve Wilks after a Super Bowl appearance. Hour 2 The Jets hired Steve Wilks as defensive coordinator, and Boomer discussed why the Niners let him go. Boomer also talked about David Blough and Josh McCown's prospects, and a caller asked why QBs don't backpedal anymore. C-Lo gave an update, and they discussed David Blough's potential role with the team. The Knicks beat the Nuggets, and some Eagles attended the Sixers game. Rutgers beat Northwestern. Scottie Scheffler had an accident at home. Gio started watching the new Netflix documentary on OJ Simpson and found it surprisingly informative. Hour 3 Gio is unsure if he should be excited about the Knicks' potential. Boomer asks what they need to beat Boston. Gio dismisses Cleveland, despite their good season.

C-Lo gives an update, but first they discuss Holland Tunnel traffic and Evan Roberts and Pete Hoffman taking gummies before recording their podcast.

Evan Roberts and Pete Hoffman took gummies before recording a podcast, their 420th (get it, weed people). But first, Brandon Tierney told them to smoke a blunt instead. BT wonders what happened to Evan and said Carton turned him into a lunatic. We heard Evan open the podcast after taking the gummy.

We watched a lot of bad football this season in the NFL. There were a lot of really bad teams. Betting and fantasy keep us interested in teams and games that are terrible. The poor level of play even spilled into Wild Card weekend. There are a lot of things that contribute to ‘crappier football'. Boomer thinks they're adding another game and teams will have 2 bye weeks and Netflix will be in the mix for the regular season. We then wondered if CBS Sports Network would cut away if one of us was choking on the air. Aly, our makeup artist, has Norovirus and Gio's concerned he is now going to get it. A caller wonders what we thought of the saxophone-only national anthem at the Eagles game. We talked about violinist Itzhak Perlman. Al has a very strange way of saying his name. Jerry returns for an update and starts with audio from BT and Sal about what BT wore when he interviewed Rick Pitino. BT was then called ‘gullible' by Sal and Pete Hoffman. Melissa Start and Cris Collinsworth were talking about the cut on Jayden Daniels' face. Rex Ryan said the Chargers had a bye week having to play the Texans and DeMeco Ryans referenced it after the game. Joe Mixon referenced it when he was smoking cigars after the game. In the final segment of the hour, this is a big game for Sam Darnold's career and wallet.

Hour 1 Wild Card weekend is over and there were a lot of disappointing games. The most disappointing performance from an individual was Justin Herbert and the Steelers were the most disappointing team performance. The Steelers looked ‘leader-less' according to Boomer. The Ravens/Bills is going to be a great matchup of 2 MVP candidates in their prime. In the Packers/Eagles game, cameras caught AJ Brown reading a motivational book while sitting on the bench. That was him sending a message that they were barely using him. He had one catch for 10 yards. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Commanders beating the Bucs. We heard the Baker Mayfield fumble and the game winning FG. AJ Brown talked about the book he was reading on the sideline. Jordan Love was asked about his struggles, including 3 INTs. Josh Allen had an incredible TD throw on 4th and one. Mike Tomlin talked about the Steelers performance. In the final segment of the hour, the Jets interviewed the Maryland head coach and Boomer had no idea that was happening and doesn't think it's a realistic choice for the Jets. The Jets seem to be waiting for someone still coaching in the playoffs. We talked about the Rooney Rule and whether it works or not. Hour 2 We talked briefly about colleges and universities having a ton of money to pay athletes and yet they are still looking for alumni to donate. Boomer got a letter from Maryland looking for money. We talked about the draft and Boomer doesn't think Shedeur Sanders will agree to go to the Titans or the Browns. That would set him up to be drafted by the Giants to play with Malik Nabers. The dream scenario for Deion would be for him to coach the Raiders and for them to draft Shedeur. There are reports Tom Brady really wants Ben Johnson for the Raiders, but there is no QB there right now. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of Bucs radio as the Commanders kick the game winning FG. Baker Mayfield had a terrible fumble and Todd Bowles was asked about it. The Eagles beat the Packers but it wasn't pretty and Saquon talked about that. Jalen Hurts was asked about AJ Brown reading a book on the sideline. Boomer wonders how we each ‘find our flow'. George Pickens was asked after the Steelers' loss if he's optimistic going forward and he said, ‘uh, nah'. Kevin O'Connell is preparing to play as if they're playing in Los Angeles. The Patriots hired Mike Vrabel. In the final segment of the hour, former Ranger Sean Avery told the story of playing in a men's hockey league and having to knock a guy off his skates after he was bragging about his fourth goal of the game. He was banned from men's hockey in the state of California. We talked about traffic now that congestion pricing has been put into place. Boomer said businesses seem to be hurting because of it. Hour 3 We watched a lot of bad football this season in the NFL. There were a lot of really bad teams. Betting and fantasy keep us interested in teams and games that are terrible. The poor level of play even spilled into Wild Card weekend. There are a lot of things that contribute to ‘crappier football'.
