Jerry is in for Boomer again this morning and we start with him telling us he’s not feeling great. Gio is having a hard time finding Children’s Tylenol and Motrin. The Mets lost to the Padres last night and it was annoying. The Mets offense is struggling while the Mets minor leaguers are hitting the ball all over the park. Scherzer and Verlander are here for a very short window so you have to win now and right now the offense is not getting it done. With Jerry hosting today, Peter Schwartz is on the updates. He starts with complaining about the new LIRR schedule. ‘Franchy poured the ranchy all over the Guardians’ according to Peter. Gerrit Cole gave up 2 early runs but settled in and cruised the rest of the way. The Mets lost to the Padres and Francisco Alvarez said he needs to be more disciplined at the plate. Peter went around the NHL for the locals. In the final segment of the hour, the Phillies did the first of their $1 hot dog nights. They sold 58,000 hot dogs in one night and sold the stadium out.
David Bakhtiari of the Packers was a guest on the ‘Bussin’ with the Boys’ podcast and talked about Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. He floated a theory out there of the Packers paying Rodgers to not play if the trade with the Jets is not on their terms. Joe Douglas told us Rodgers will be a Jet at our live show, but he also mumbled something when the crowd was screaming so we have no idea what he said. Buzz, No Buzz: The NFL Draft for the Jets and Giants. No Buzz. Gio also told us about the times he attended the draft as a fan. Peter returns for an update and starts with the Yankees win over the Guardians and the Mets loss to the Padres. Jerry wonders what issues the Mets have with Francisco Alvarez. Jack Hughes got the record for most points in a season last night. In the final segment of the hour, Darin Ruf talked to The Athletic about the pressures of playing in New York.
For being one of the great players in the history of the game, Gio has zero interest in watching LeBron James. He wants him out of the playoffs as soon as possible. Gio gets more joy watching Steph Curry over LeBron. Maybe he would have liked LeBron more if he stayed in Cleveland the whole time. Peter returns for an update and starts by enjoying some Pringles dipped in ranch. In between shots of ranch, Peter has sound from the Yankees win over the Guardians and the Mets loss to the Padres. Jerry finds it odd that Gio had to book Peter’s Uber. In the final segment of the hour, we remember WFAN host Rick Wolff who passed away.
Carlos Rodon remains on the IL for the Yankees with back stiffness. Gio has been very impressed with the home crowds at Yankee Stadium in April. If you were going on a three day trip, would you go to Nashville or Austin? We talked about hanging out with Jordan Davis when he came to lunch with us in NYC. Gio told a story about almost getting into a fight over a car after a Mets game for his mom’s birthday. Peter returns for his final update of the day, but first a caller tells us that getting an Uber from MetLife is a nightmare. In the final segment of the show, Jerry is sounding sicker and sicker as the show goes on. The Knicks playoff series against the Cavaliers starts Saturday and we give it a brief preview.
