Boomer & Gio

Today on the show, Boomer and Gio break down a lackluster World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium, detailing Spain's victory, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s blunt TV farewell, and the future of soccer in America. On the diamond, the guys recap the Yankees-Dodgers split featuring Jazz Chisholm Jr., Francisco Lindor powering the Mets past the Phillies, and the online heat facing Tommy Lugauer. Plus, they debate Bryson DeChambeau’s controversial penalty at the British Open, roast Tom Brady’s new "cornball status," guess 1998's highest-earning celebrities, and tackle everything from Cam Skattebo’s backflip injury to Jordan Clarkson's nightclub heroism and Boomer's farting habits.

Boomer and Gio kick off another summer week tackling a dud World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium where Boomer napped and missed nothing. Gio has no sympathy for Lionel Messi, everyone hates Argentina’s fans, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic delivered a blunt, final TV appearance. Jerry’s first update highlights Spain’s World Cup win over Argentina and Craig Burley ripping how they played, before transitioning to baseball where the Yankees split a doubleheader with the Dodgers behind a Jazz Chisholm Jr. home run, the Mets took two of three from the Phillies with a big game from Francisco Lindor, and the Red Sox won their 13th straight. Meanwhile, Ryan Fox won the British Open and Rory McIlroy called out Bryson DeChambeau. Finally, the guys debate a caller’s take on whether the soccer final needed scoring or action.

Gio breaks down Bryson DeChambeau’s penalty, calling it an attempt to gain an advantage rather than blatant cheating. Next, Jerry’s update highlights Ferran Torres’ lone World Cup final goal, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s blunt farewell to TV, Peter Schwartz’s indoor football call, and Rex Ryan being awestruck by Ella Langley. In baseball action, David Bednar escaped a jam to help the Yankees top the Dodgers despite Cam Schlittler’s struggles, while Francisco Lindor powered the Mets past the Phillies, crediting Bo Bichette’s preceding 11-pitch at-bat. Finally, Ryan Fox clinches the British Open amidst "Baba Booey" cheers, Jordan Clarkson de-escalates a nightclub situation to show why the Knicks wanted him back, and Boomer defends Anthony Volpe from a frustrated caller.

Gio calls Tom Brady’s recent antics awkward and forced now that the quarterback has officially reached "cornball status." Next, Boomer questions Cam Skattebo's weekend backflip injury and future NFL longevity, leading into a chat about aging singers and the forgotten date of Boomer's upcoming Radio Hall of Fame induction. Jerry's update delivers the international call of the lone World Cup Final goal—amidst analyst complaints about the match and Gio's disappointment that the Muppets performed instead of Dua Lipa—before breaking down Max Muncy's home run off Gerrit Cole. Finally, a caller brings up a hothead golfer who was once fined for farting, prompting Gio to claim that Boomer doesn't always own his own.

Gio shares a list of 1998's highest-earning celebrities for Boomer to guess, right before Boomer recounts a video of himself dancing to the Spice Girls. Next, Jerry’s final update arrives after a quick discussion about Gio’s plans for his mom’s 80th birthday. In baseball, Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s home run helps the Yankees salvage a game against the Dodgers, and Francisco Lindor powers the Mets past the Phillies—sparking Boomer's memory from a postgame comment—before a funky outfield sunglasses play occurs and Mets fans blast Tommy Lugauer on Twitter. Then, analysts slam Argentina’s World Cup Final performance, and the Moment of the Day recaps the final's sights and sounds involving Dua Lipa and Gerrit Cole. Finally, Gio delivers more thoughts on the 1998 list, a caller shares a Tommy Bolt story that Boomer vaguely remembers, and a final caller wraps things up with Mets positivity.
