Boomer & Gio

The Mets have won consecutive series, but entered Friday tied for the worst record in baseball. Could this team really be in a "competitive rebuild" with a $386 million payroll? Boomer and Gio sound off on the terminology used by team brass, while Craig Carton hated the vocabulary used by Gary Cohen to describe Carson Benge's sparkling catch. Plus, Evan Roberts sounds off on the New York Post report about the meeting between Stearns and Pete Alonso.

As the Knicks and Sixers battle through their second-round series, our hosts battle against the city of Philadelphia. Tiki Barber ripped Joel Embiid for his postgame comments, and he got heat from hosts in the City of Brotherly Love. Craig Carton also went off on the Sixers star, and Craig and C-Mac welcomed John Starks to talk about this Knicks team and their potential to win a championship.

Boomer & Gio reminisce about the late John Sterling. Plus, the guys react to a budding feud between Tiki Barber and Hugh Douglas over Joel Embiid (9:26); Gio on why now is the perfect time for Spencer Jones to make his MLB debut (16:36); Gio believes LeBron James will retire after the NBA playoffs (24:27); Gio, Chris Lopresti, and Jerry Recco react to Asante Samuel’s defense of Mike Vrabel (34:38).

With Boomer out, Gio and Jerry cover the Knicks’ injury status and the Yankees calling up Spencer Jones for Jasson Dominguez before diving into the Mets’ loss and the Mike Vrabel drama. Between tracking the government’s delayed UFO files and Asante Samuel’s viral defense of "side chicks," we hit on Chris Russo’s pronunciation struggles and Gio’s review of the show Neighbors. The day wraps with Jon Heyman’s Mets/Alonso story, a debate on bald-head aesthetics, and C-Lo’s golf-ball-catching claim, plus a Moment of the Day on pregnant women and a TikToker who pranks strangers by pretending to know them.

With Boomer out, Gio and Jerry break down the Knicks dodging a bullet with OG Anunoby, who likely sits tonight as they handle the Sixers. We look ahead at other NBA matchups. C-Lo updates OG’s status, followed by Dave Sims’ call of Trent Grisham’s big double and Jasson Dominguez heading to the IL. Finally, the Mets lose to the Rockies on a grand-slam, and we dive into what’s left to learn about the Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel situation.
