Boomer & Gio

Purdue’s new Athletic Director took a shot at Indiana being for losers and looked dumb because Indiana is the reigning national champion. Willie says just get it over with and fire the guy now. It reminded C-Lo of another press conference crash-and-burn. Willie has never heard of “boom goes the dynamite” so we play that for him.

Willie was once out to eat with Bart Scott and Bart didn’t touch his food. Willie wants to know if waiters can eat or take home untouched food. We also discussed how much we want our food cooked.

C-Lo begins with the Mets sweeping the Guardians. C-Lo has a fun clip of John and Suzyn from back in the day. The Red Sox won their eighth straight game and are just a half game behind the Yankees. The Cubs came from behind late and then walked-off the Blue Jays with Rami in attendance at Wrigley Field. We discuss Trent Grisham’s struggles and debate either benching him or at least taking him out of the leadoff spot.

Willie fills us in about what training camp is really like in the NFL based on his first hand experience.

Jerry and Willie Colon fill in for Boomer & Gio, kicking off with Willie’s wild travel nightmare before breaking down the Yankees’ offensive funk, Aaron Judge’s injury, and Jefry Yan's viral Mets debut. The guys evaluate the outlook for the Jets and Giants, touch on AI Seinfeld, and bring on YES announcer Ryan Ruocco to analyze George Lombard Jr. and New York's lineup struggles. After reacting to Jonathan Taylor’s massive extension and Willie opening up about marriage and the hidden grind of playing offensive line, the show wraps with C-Lo's Yankees analytics, Aaron Judge cleared to run outside, and Jerry grilling Willie on his playing days.

Jerry and Willie Colon step in for Boomer & Gio, kicking off with Willie’s sleep-deprived travel nightmare from Atlanta involving stinky chips, a bad massage, a pants-dropping banana man, a dog, and connection flight chaos. C-Lo brings the updates on the Yankees’ 3-1 loss to the Cardinals, leading into a debate over Aaron Judge’s slow-healing rib injury and players battling through pain. Willie then recaps his media relations visit to the Jets, notes win streaks for the Red Sox and Rays, reacts to Jefry Yan’s viral Mets debut, and dives into Darius Slayton’s praise for John Harbaugh and the impact of strong leadership. After revealing how Disney turned him into a cruise guy, Jerry and Willie cap the hour agreeing the struggling Yankees offense won't fix itself until Aaron Judge returns.

Jerry worries about the Jets' QB position while Willie stays high on Aaron Glenn’s defense, with both stressing the urgency of a Week 1 win over the Titans. Willie shares his hope for Geno Smith's second run in New York, then turns to the Giants as Jaxson Dart adjusts to a new offense. Before C-Lo’s update, the guys react to AI Seinfeld, followed by George Lombard Jr.’s strong night in a Yankees loss, positive news on Aaron Judge, and the Red Sox closing the standings gap. Jorge Polanco snaps his 0-26 slump with a homer, Jefry Yan refuses to tame his celebrations, and C-Lo suggests Aaron Glenn could use Willie’s media training. Finally, the show honors Yan’s inspiring road to the majors—though Willie cautions against celebrating when down big.

YES announcer Ryan Ruocco calls in after working the Yankees-Cardinals series to break down New York's offensive woes and early impressions of George Lombard Jr. C-Lo then returns for an update, but first he and Willie trade memories from their Jets locker room days and reflect on their favorite player interactions over the years. Next, the guys react to Jonathan Taylor’s big Colts extension that makes him one of the NFL’s highest-paid running backs. To close the hour, a caller dubs Willie a gentleman before a casual chat about golf availability turns into Willie opening up about the hardships of marriage.

Jerry calls for other Yankees to step up until Aaron Judge returns, with Willie pointing to Jazz as the guy to make it happen. A caller then prompts Willie to break down the hidden challenges of playing offensive line in the NFL. C-Lo delivers his final update with Yankees offensive analytics for Jerry and news that Judge is cleared to run outside, though Willie is mostly disappointed to learn C-Lo has never been in a fight. After "Money talks" features in the Moment of the Day, Jerry wraps up the show by questioning Willie about his playing days.
