Boomer & Gio

A day after the smoke cleared, the hosts of WFAN continue to react to the Yankees' handling of the MLB trade deadline. Despite the addition of Luis Garcia Jr., who homered in his first game in The Bronx, the consensus is that Yankees didn't do enough, especially at the catcher position.

With Boomer out, Gio and Jerry break down the MLB trade deadline, assessing the Yankees’ moves, return timelines for Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, and the Mets’ deadline teardown. Gio addresses Craig Carton's take on Katie Nolan, vents about his wife’s birthday gift routine, and obsess over a minor league raccoon promotion while C-Lo updates on Luis Garcia Jr.’s bittersweet Yankee debut, Trump on NIL, and the Yanks' loss to the Cardinals. Plus, Aaron Rodgers goes after Fauci, ESPN, and Tom Brady on Pat McAfee, prompting Gio to question ESPN's identity. Finally, the guys debate how the Brian Cashman era will eventually end, hit NFL camp updates from John Harbaugh and Klint Kubiak, and dissect 90s rock classics alongside "Hotel California."

With Boomer out today, it’s Gio & Jerry starting with the MLB trade deadline: what the Yankees got, what they didn’t, and whether it signals anything about the returns of Aaron Judge or Giancarlo Stanton, alongside all the players the Mets traded away. C-Lo steps in for Jerry for his first update, leading with newest Yankee Luis Garcia Jr. homering in his first game as a Yankee—though the Yanks went down 6-0, took a 7-6 lead, and lost. Plus, Brian Cashman addresses when Judge is coming back, David Stearns explains why they kept Luis Robert Jr., and a caller in the final segment points out that the Red Sox and Rays acquired catchers, which is exactly what the Yankees needed.

Gio opens by addressing Craig Carton’s take on Katie Nolan, calling her comments "so incredibly stupid" and deeming her and her producer "not a worthy opponent." Before C-Lo returns for his update, Gio touches on Amanda Knox and Netflix hating the cruise injury. Next, we hear audio from the Yankees' loss to the Cardinals following a seven-run eighth inning and a rough 83-pitch outing from Cam Schlittler. Plus, Aaron Rodgers goes after Anthony Fauci and ESPN during his Pat McAfee appearance at Steelers camp. Finally, Paul in Yonkers calls in to dance on the 2026 Mets’ grave now that their roster is stacked with minor leaguers.

Gio kicks off by obsessing over the Rocket City Trash Pandas' deformed raccoon promotion before complaining about his wife designing her own birthday cake and picking out her own gift. C-Lo returns with an update on newest Yankee Luis Garcia Jr. homering in his debut, President Trump referencing the Yankees and NIL, and David Stearns addressing the Mets' deadline trades. Plus, Aaron Rodgers joins Pat McAfee to call out ESPN over the Dianna Russini/Mike Vrabel situation and take a shot at Tom Brady, leading Gio to wonder if Rodgers' wife is A.I. Finally, Gio questions why McAfee's show won't touch the Russini/Vrabel story, arguing ESPN seems confused about its own identity.

Gio and Jerry kick off debating how the Brian Cashman era will eventually end and reflecting on his Yankees career, with Jerry doubting Cashman ever gets fired. Gio touches on the Dodgers having Rob Reiner’s kids throw out a first pitch, followed by John Harbaugh discussing the Giants’ off-day activities in Virginia and Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak celebrating a roster with "no turds." Next, the Moment of the Day features Gio responding to Katie Nolan’s take on Boomer. Finally, the show wraps up with a look into 90s bands Everclear and Fastball alongside the lyrics to "Hotel California."

Best case scenario is they win a World Series and he leaves, but what if they don’t win again?

Gio wonders why the McAfee Show won’t talk about the Russini/Vrabel situation and wonders why ESPN seems confused as to who they are and who they want to be.
