Woody Johnson is buying a piece of Crystal Palace F.C.

A caller thinks Gio decided to talk about game 7 of the NBA Finals because he didn't want to talk about how terrible his Mets have been. A guy named Matt called in. He came in third place at Fanatics-Fest, but the first amateur person, and he won some cash.

David Peterson had a rough night in Philadelphia and the Mets are now a second place team. They were swept by the Rays, swept by the Braves and lost 2-of-3 to the Phillies. It's going to be extremely hot during this Mets series against the Braves. The Mets sent Francisco Alvarez down to Syracuse because of the way he's playing.

Two things Boomer was talking about last week came true. Francisco Alvarez was sent down to Syracuse, and Tyrese Haliburton's calf injury turned into an achilles injury. He is likely going to miss all of next season. Kevin Durant was traded to the Rockets and he found out about it on stage at FanaticsFest.

Peter returns for an update, but first we talked about his son being ‘in the portal'. A caller said Peter is, ‘a bag of problems'.

He covered the Thunder's NBA Championship win, mixed reactions to Kristin Chenoweth's anthem, and the Yankees' victory over the Orioles with Jazz Chisholm's help. The segment ended with a comparison of Peter to Mr. Met and a discussion of the old Yankees mascot, "Dandy," plus a question about the Mets' slump-busting. Hour 4 Woody Johnson is buying into Crystal Palace F.C. The show discussed the old Yankees mascot, Dandy. Callers disliked the Mets' joking during losses and pondered Boomer's QB helmet confusion.

We talked about a B&G show foursome that would dominate any other show on the station in golf. This seems very important to Boomer & Gio.

The Mets have dropped six straight and might need a ‘slump buster' to end the losing streak. Francisco Lindor and the rest of the Mets have not been showing up offensively. Remember a week or two ago when the Mets had too much pitching with players coming back from injury? Now they are short pitchers.

Yamamoto was denied an immaculate inning after a bad call by the ump. There were a lot of players getting beaned in Dodgers/Padres, with even the managers getting into it. The Pacers beat OKC to force a game 7 in the NBA Finals.

Right now, it seems like Mike Brown is going to be the next head coach of the Knicks.

A caller is angry that the Yankees overhyped Volpe but Gio says that was more media-driven and all the team did was not trade him. Gio says fans can't get too excited about what's posted on social media and think that's a team propping a player up.

The Lakers are being sold for 10 billion dollars and Boomer wonders if James Dolan will consider selling the Knicks, Rangers and MSG after seeing that number. Gio doesn't think Dolan has interest in selling but could see the Steinbrenners thinking about it. Boomer thinks all of the discussion around Penn Station and moving MSG could tempt Dolan. Boomer points out that owners of some big franchises have decided to sell in recent years.

Hour 1 The Yankees and Mets both lost again but Gio is trying to stay positive. What can the teams do about Anthony Volpe and Francisco Alvarez? CLo plays the lowlight of the Volpe error from the Yankees loss and then moves to the Mets getting shutout in Atlanta. Boomer thinks Thursday will be “explosion day” for the Yankees offense. Finally, a song from Boomer's youth is popular on TikTok and Gio has a question for Eddie about dogs. Hour 2 The Lakers are being sold for $10 billion.

CLo updated after Joey from Yonkers revealed the Yankees and Mets last had simultaneous 5-game losing streaks in August 1996. The Yankees lost their sixth straight (Cody Bellinger's HR wasn't enough), and the Mets their fifth. Both aim to avoid a second consecutive sweep.

Gio thinks he formed a good relationship with Carlos Mendoza when they met at an event. Gio called Mendoza “skip”.

Adam Schefter is getting into golf. Gio looks back on his golf game before he really picked up the sport. Gio agrees with a caller that fans have to let go of comparisons when judging prospects and current players. Gio also explains that teams do it to sell tickets to minor league games. A caller uses the same barber as Adam Schefter and says Schefter is always on his phone. Gio thinks everyone around Schefter is probably looking for information.
