Boomer & Gio

We started the hour setting up rules for Yankees fan callers today. We took many Yankees calls and Gio doesn’t want to hear how long you’ve been a fan, he doesn’t want anyone mentioning the Core Four or George Steinbrenner.

Jerry starts with the sounds of the Rays sweeping the Yanks. We heard Dave Sims on the call for the fan interference play. We heard from Max Fried, Cody Bellinger, Aaron Judge and Aaron Boone. The Guardians beat the White Sox so there will be a game 4 tonight. We heard the Dodgers celebrating in the locker room as they advanced to the NLCS.

The Yankees season is over and Eddie Scozzare showed up in his ‘Happy YE Day’ t-shirt. Dua Lipa was seen talking to Marlins Man behind home plate which was very bizarre.

Gio gives the Jets one last chance against the Browns, setting off a sports-focused show centered on tonight's high-stakes Yankees elimination game with Max Fried, Boomer’s lineup ideal, and Freddie Freeman homering in a Dodgers win over the Braves. Jayden Daniels prepares to face the Giants with Boomer expecting New York to test his injured elbow, alongside comments from Aaron Boone, Kevin Cash, and a Hernández home run in another Dodgers victory over Atlanta. Updates cover two suspended NFL referees, Jazz’s antics on the Yankees, Kevin Cash praising Ben Rice, John Harbaugh’s sideline reaction to a game-ending Deonte Banks interception, and a Rangers victory over the Islanders. Finally, Phil Simms breaks down the Jets’ abysmal performance in Chicago and the Giants’ do-or-die situation with Daniels, before wrapping up with Gerrit Cole’s bullpen availability and whether the Yankees can show enough heart to save their season.

Gio gives the Jets one last chance against the Browns before the guys pivot to a high-stakes Yankees game, Boomer’s ideal lineup, and a pessimistic fanbase. Jerry delivers the morning's first update, featuring Max Fried on handling adversity and an impending baby, alongside Freddie Freeman’s home run in a Dodgers victory over the Braves. Later, a caller highlights Boomer’s cameo in the Dennis Miller Monday Night Football documentary, and the hour wraps up with Gio and Boomer discussing the "Russian plague," its election-season timing, and its parallels to COVID.

Jayden Daniels looks set to play against the Giants, with Boomer expecting New York to cleanly test his injured left elbow and force him into shotgun, while Gio notices that once-cocky Yankees fans have completely vanished. Jerry's update features Aaron Boone on tonight's game, Max Fried declaring it a must-win, Kevin Cash sizing up Yankee Stadium, and a Dodgers win over the Braves powered by a Hernandez home run. Later, Mike Francesa questioning a Jets tweet reminds Gio of the time Mike fell for a fake Captain Kangaroo story, leading into classic Mike & The Mad Dog audio where Mike insists Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Rogers were war heroes.

The hour starts with Max Fried pitching in a Yankees elimination game tonight, followed by Boomer discussing two suspended NFL referees caught cursing at players and Jazz’s antics on the team. Jerry's update features Kevin Cash praising Ben Rice’s hot streak, NFL Films sideline footage of John Harbaugh right before a game-ending Deonte Banks interception, and the Rangers beating the Islanders. Finally, while shopping for a Radio Hall of Fame outfit, Gio eats lunch in his car and notices a parking lot full of guys doing the exact same thing, declaring a "solo dude in car epidemic."

Phil Simms joins us in his usual Wednesday spot to break down the Jets’ terrible performance in Chicago, the Giants starting Jayden Daniels against the Commanders in what Phil calls a do-or-die move, and his rave review of the movie Mr. Irrelevant. Jerry delivers his final update, covering Max Fried on handling adversity, Gerrit Cole being available out of the bullpen, a group of Ravens meeting President Trump about Baltimore jobs—where Trump called long snapper an amazing job—and a Rangers win over the Islanders. After the Moment of the Day features Sean McVay on booth coaches flipping off fans, the final segment touches on Yankee fans wondering if the team will show any heart tonight, before wrapping up with Ash Dykes taking an inflatable kayak down the Congo River.

Jerry's final update starts with Max Fried talking about adversity. Gerrit Cole is also available to come out of the bullpen. A select group of Ravens was with President Trump about jobs in Baltimore. He thinks the ‘snapper’ is an amazing job. The Rangers beat the Islanders. The Moment of The Day: Sean McVay on coaches in the booth giving fans the finger.
