Tonight is our live show in Jersey City. Gio will be debuting a new haircut. He’s wearing a hat on TV today to save it for tonight. The Mets are ‘limping into opening day’ according to Boomer. There doesn’t seem to be any buzz to the Mets home opener. The Mets have an advertising patch on their sleeve and it is absolutely huge. Boomer wonders if the Yankees will eventually get a sponsor on the jersey. There was also a rules controversy at the Masters with Brooks Koepka’s caddy. Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first Boomer told us that Sal Licata made a donation to Team Boompa for the Five Borough Bike Tour. Pete Alonso talked about the home opener and Jerry had audio from the Braves who have won 6-of-7 to start the season. Jerry also went around the NBA from last night and gave us an update on day one of the Masters. In the final segment of the hour, a minor league pitcher who gave up a HR to Fernando Tatis Jr. tweeted that a cheater on a rehab assignment for a steroid violating homered. Boomer said you rarely hear of an NHL player getting into any type of social media trouble. Sean Avery gets into trouble on social media but that wasn’t really a thing when he was playing. Boomer talked about how difficult it is to drive down the streets of NY with deliveries and restaurant tables still in the streets.
Gio is excited to see Francisco Alvarez as he is being called up for today’s home opener for the Mets. Tomas Nido will start today according to Mike Puma. We also talked about the Mets bullpen with Edwin Diaz injured. Boomer is starting to think about the Devils and which players’ jerseys he’ll be stuffing in the freezer. Gio’s outfit for tonight never arrived so he has to go shopping after the show. Jerry returns for an update but first Boomer talked about the NCAA Frozen Four. Something to do with hockey. The Padres have a pitcher with a new pitch called, ‘the slutter’. Jerry went around the NBA last night and we heard from Kevin Durant about their defense. Charles Barkley talked about the small soaps in hotels and how one almost slid into his butt. Boomer & Gio still look pretty good in their Masters pool. In the final segment of the hour, Paul the engineer comes in to glue a broken bobblehead.
Ron Darling from SNY joins us to talk about the Mets home opener, what’s the problem with Max Scherzer and whether Keith Hernandez ever picks up a tab. Jerry returns for an update and starts with a ‘what the hell is that?’ It’s Boomer laughing, and it sounds like an NHL goal horn. Buck Showalter talked about the Mets home opener and how this will get them into a routine since they’ve been on the road. The Giants beat the White Sox 16-6. Michael Conforto and JD Davis had homers. Jerry has an update of day one at the Masters. In the final segment of the hour, Cam Newton put out a list of QBs he’d be willing to back up this year. Maybe Aaron Rodgers will sign with the Jets today and he’ll pop over to our live show in Jersey City. Boomer went through a list of QB salaries.
Gio ordered an outfit for the live show tonight but it never arrived. Boomer said he will stop by ‘LeatherMan’ in NYC today to find him something to wear. Boomer said Gio just wants Boomer to curse a lot tonight but Boomer said that’s not his style. We previewed all the things we are doing at the live show tonight. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about Fresca, which Boomer still loves. Pete Alonso is looking forward to playing at Citi Field as they’ve been on the road so far this season. Kay Adams had some problems opening a bottle of champagne and she got sprayed in the face. Jerry has audio from the Rangers loss to the St. Louis Blues. In the final segment of the hour, Dan in Carteret does not have tickets for tonight’s live show. Boomer may end up having to put Hurricanes jerseys in the freezer as it could wind up as the Devils vs Islanders.
