Boomer has some inside information on why Max Scherzer’s hands were sticky and why he was suspended.

Hour 3:

First it was Craig Carton and now it’s Tiki Barber saying there are rumblings of Aaron Rodgers going to the 49’ers. Boomer is sticking to what he’s been saying for months now, that Aaron Rodgers will be on the Jets. Peter returns for an update but fist Gio gives us an update on the dog he wanted to adopt. It went through and they got him, so everybody is happy. Gio wanted Peter to give us his Aaron Rodgers trade take that he had when he hosted overnights the other day. The Rangers beat the Devils again taking a commanding 2-0 series lead. The Mets beat the Giants in San Francisco to open up that series. Gio said the Giants fan base must be livid based on their offseason and start to the season. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls about movie spoilers and a James Dolan sighting at the Garden.

Hour 2:

Max Scherzer has been suspended 10 games by MLB. Boomer said the issue was he used alcohol to wash his hands and when you combine alcohol and rosin it becomes very sticky. Scherzer also thought he was done being checked, but he was checked a third time and that’s where the problem was. Scherzer’s tenure here has not been good. Gio is not impressed with what he’s seen so far. Peter returned for an update and we talked about his size. His combined height and weight. We also talked about his son who is a long snapper. The Rangers beat the Devils 5-1 and take a 2-0 series lead heading to MSG. Tom Brady was asked about the Dolphins and he gave a weird answer. In the final segment of the hour, there is a fake Gregg Giannotti on Facebook trying to get people to join some type of fake contest. It is not him and it has been reported. A caller thanks Boomer for a kind gesture he did for him 24 years ago today. 

Hour 1:

Boomer was very impressed with the Rangers win over the Devils last night. He said it was very satisfying as everything seems to be working. Gio said you have to be super confident at this point that you’re moving on if you’re a Rangers fan. The Islanders have their first home playoff game at UBS tonight. Boomer said Spike came into his office to tell him the Knicks are done and will lose this series. Spike comes into the studio to defend himself, but it turns out, he did go into Boomer's office to say the Knicks are done. Gio has never seen Boomer more confident in his Rangers team than right now. Peter Schwartz is in for Jerry but first we talk about Earth Day and what’s your ‘one thing’. Peter is going to the Islanders game tonight using a press pass. Pete Alonso hit a HR in San Francisco in the Mets win. Max Scherzer got a 10 game suspension. The Yankees beat the Angels and Jose Trevino had a bases-clearing double early. The Rangers beat the Devils 5-1 and now lead the series 2-0. We also talked about Max Scherzer’s suspension for sticky stuff. Boomer has a theory on what Scherzer did to get the suspension. The alcohol and rosin is what caused the sticky stuff. In the final segment of the hour, Joel Embiid kicked Nic Claxton in the groin during last night’s Sixers/Nets game. He was not thrown out of the game, most likely because it was the first quarter of a playoff game. Later in the game, James Harden got thrown out for something far less egregious, trying to push off Royce O’Neale and making contact with the groin. This seemed to be a clear make up call from Embiid earlier.

Peter Schwartz is in for Jerry but first we talk about Earth Day and what’s your ‘one thing’. Peter is going to the Islanders game tonight using a press pass. Pete Alonso hit a HR in San Francisco in the Mets win. Max Scherzer got a 10 game suspension. The Yankees beat the Angels and Jose Trevino had a bases-clearing double early. The Rangers beat the Devils 5-1 and now lead the series 2-0. We also talked about Max Scherzer’s suspension for sticky stuff. Boomer has a theory on what Scherzer did to get the suspension.

Hour 1:

Max Scherzer was tossed from yesterday’s Mets win in L.A. because of ‘sticky stuff’. Gio believes Scherzer because he swore on his kids life or something like that. The umpire said it was the stickiest hand he has ever checked. Boomer thinks MLB will come out and support their umpires. Boomer thinks Scherzer will get suspended. Jerry is here for his first update but first we talk about getting fresh eggs from chickens and how they are different colors compared to store bought eggs. Jerry has audio from Max Scherzer getting ejected for sticky stuff. Nimmo had himself a day going 5-for-5 including his first HR of the year. We also heard from Scherzer as he described washing off in front of an MLB official. He said, ‘I swear on my kid’s life’ he was only using sweat and rosin. Jimmy Yacabonis had to come in for Max and he did a great job. Aaron Judge robbed Shohei Ohtani of a HR in the first inning, then hit one himself in the bottom of the first. The A’s have purchased land in Las Vegas to start playing there in 2027. The Islanders lost to the Hurricanes again, this time in OT and are now down 0-2 in the series. Jerry went around the NBA playoffs last night. Tua met the media and said he talked about retiring but decided against it. In the final segment of the hour, we talked more about Max Scherzer getting thrown out for sticky stuff, and Gio wanted more from Buck Showalter in this situation. He was just standing there watching it happen. Maybe Buck knew that Max was using something illegal. Boomer thinks it’s pine tar. Gio thinks it could be sunscreen and pine tar. 

Hour 2:

We delved more into Max Scherzer getting thrown out of the game for ‘sticky stuff’. We took calls on the combination of rosin and sweat and the fact that there was tape used on Scherzer’s glove for pitch-com that also could have caused the stickiness. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio told us about speed cameras in Long Island. Jerry had audio from the Mets game and Scherzer getting tossed. Max said it’s just ‘sweat and rosin’. Adam Schein was gushing over Clayton Kershaw calling them ‘domination nuggets’. The Yankees beat the Angels on a walk off sac fly in the tenth. Aaron Judge hit a HR, robbed a HR and had a diving catch in Center. Dillon Brooks doesn’t care about LeBron because, ‘he’s old’. In the final segment of the hour, Brandon Tierney left Gio a voicemail of him singing ‘That’s a Volpe’. Ken from the Bronx calls to tell us about all the speed cameras in the boroughs. 

Hour 3:

The Islanders are now down 2-0 after losing again in Carolina to the Hurricanes. They had a 3-2 lead last night and lost. Boomer & Gio broke down what went wrong. We also talked more about Max Scherzer and his sticky stuff and wondered if MLB confiscates the glove or not. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about a doctor with a yacht. He’s a friend of Boomer’s but Gio is trying to latch on. Jerry starts with the Yankees beating the Angels and the Mets beating the Dodgers thanks to a 5-for-5 day by Brandon Nimmo. We heard from Max Scherzer as he was tossed from the game for having sticky fingers and a sticky glove. Tua met the media and will not retire because he wants his son to see him play. He also said it’s his body and he’s doing what’s best for him, playing. In the final segment of the hour, Brady Quinn said that CJ Stroud blew off the Manning Camp. There are rumors of Trey Lance to the Vikings and Gio is not interested. 

Hour 4:

We previewed game 2 between the Rangers and Devils tonight at The Rock. Jerry returns for an update and has audio from Peter Schwartz’s overnight show. His son called in and Peter treated him like a bad caller. Aaron Judge hit a HR as the Yankees beat the Angels. Aaron Boone talked about Judge’s day at the plate and in the field. Buck Showalter talked about the Max Scherzer sticky stuff situation. Max told us how the whole thing started. The Islanders lost to the Canes so they are now down 2-0 as they head to the UBS Arena. Tua considered retirement but he is going to play. He does not want to walk away from the game. In the final segment of the hour, Space X just launched and then blew up. Anthony Gallo is not here today because he has a doctor’s appointment. He told Gio he has a smiley face rash on his scrotum.

Gio is not happy about the speed cameras they set up on Long Island to catch people going too fast near construction zones.
