Gio has been on a heater lately with all things sports going his way. He wanted the Phillies out, and they’re out. He wanted Max Scherzer to suck, and he sucks. Tonight we are up for a Marconi Award, which is an award for radio. The Boomer & Gio Show are going up against Lin Brehmer, a legendary Chicago host who passed away earlier this year, so we will probably lose. The only thing Gio cares about with this World Series is betting against Max Scherzer when he pitches. The Diamondbacks got word that Chris Russo was going to quit if they won and they were chanting his name. Gio said the Mets had a better season than the Phillies because of the heartbreak. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the Diamondbacks beating the Phillies 4-2. Will Chris Russo stick to his word and ‘retire on the spot’? Daniel Jones talked about watching Tyrod Taylor play well. Deion Sanders doesn’t seem to have a problem with the whole Michigan sign stealing allegations. The Rangers won in Calgary 3-1 and the Devils won 4-2 in Montreal. In the final segment of the hour, Gio said he would rather be a fan with the way the Mets season went over the way the Phillies season went and ended in heartbreak.
We continued our conversation on whether you would rather just have a bad regular season like the Mets, or have a great run in the playoffs that ends in misery, like the Phillies. Jerry returns for an update and has audio of the Diamondbacks beating the Phillies as they head to the World Series. How do you build a championship team in baseball? Daniel Jones was on with Kay Adams and bored us all to death. Aaron Rodgers was on McAfee and talked about rehab and how it’s been a tough week. He also said he’s voting for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Gio imagines Tom Thibodeau slurping all of his food. The Rangers won in Calgary 3-1 and the Devils won 4-2 in Montreal. In the final segment of the hour, Nick Bosa is in the new Skims ad, a Kim Kardashian brand. Boomer did an underwear commercial for Hanes back in the day. We also played Boomer’s hummus commercial and talked about his Diet Coke commercial he did with a few Chicago Bears players.
The Knicks season gets underway tonight with the exact same team they had last year. They should be right in the mix and hopefully they get off to a quick start. Maybe they can get someone at the trade deadline that puts them over the top. We also talked about bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches and how they don’t exist outside of our area. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Diamondbacks beating the Phillies to advance to the World Series. Ketel Marte won the NLCS MVP. We heard from a guy who won hundreds of times on radio stations back in the 80’s and 90’s. Daniel Jones was on with Kay Adams and she asked him if the Giants are trading Saquon and if Jones is starting this week. The Rangers won in Calgary 3-1 and the Devils won 4-2 in Montreal. In the final segment of the hour, Dan in Carteret bought us gifts prior to the pandemic and he actually gave them to Eddie to give to us.
We continued to open gifts from Dan in Carteret that he bought prior to the pandemic. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Diamondbacks beating the Phillies and advancing to the World Series. Chris Russo said he would retire on the spot if the Diamondbacks won the last 2 games in Philadelphia. He went on Howard Stern this morning and Howard had some suggestions on how he could pay the bet off. Daniel Jones was on with Kay Adams giving us an update on his neck and boring us along the way. Aaron Rodgers was on with McAfee and talked about the rigorous rehab he’s been going through. The NBA season opened last night but it opens tonight for the Knicks and the Nets. Jalen Brunson said the Knicks are building something here. Moment of The Day involves Daniel Jones being boring on Kay Adams’ show. In the final segment of the show, we discussed the dog painting Dan from Carteret got for Eddie and we recapped the Phillies loss, and Gio saying it was better to be a Mets fan this season.
