Boomer & Gio

It's not always easy to live out your dream, which was a reminder offered by Yankees rookie Spencer Jones when he sat down with Bradfo. The former first-round pick detailed some of the obstacles he overcame to reach the majors and offered advice to those about to be introduced to professional baseball. Bradfo also catches up with another inspirational story: former All-Star Paul Blackburn, who has revitalized his career after navigating a few years of struggles and injuries. And, finally, there is a conversation with Trevor Story, who not only offers an update on his comeback from sports hernia surgery but also explains the importance of veteran leadership in a big league clubhouse.

We kick off with World Cup excitement and tough losses for both the Mets and Yankees, before transitioning to Mitchell Robinson’s Knicks future, baseball lockout debates, and Evan’s dog at Bark at the Park. Next, we react to a viral, out-of-context clip of Boomer, Gio’s internet exhaustion, and interns crowding the studio space. Finally, we wrap up with the shocking Terrion Arnold legal story and breaking news of Carlos Mendoza being fired by the Mets.

We start the show talking about Team USA and the World Cup - we're excited. C-Lo is in for Jerry and starts with some clarification on last segment’s World Cup talk. The Mets lost their sixth straight in ten innings to the Cubs. The Yankees lost to the Red Sox as Cam Schlitter got the loss. In the final segment of the hour, we took some calls on the World Cup.

Mitchell Robinson looks unlikely to return to the Knicks next season, before we break down the upcoming baseball lockout that Al is rooting for and Boomer is questioning. Next, C-Lo’s update kicks off with U.S. vs Bosnia, followed by a clip of Dolan stating the Knicks won't enter the spending 'second apron.' Then, Landry Shamet addresses the media doubters, Evan Roberts brings his dog Marshmello to Bark at the Park, and Cam Schlitter takes the loss in Boston. Finally, we close out the hour talking about Evan's shih tzu.

An Awful Announcing clip of Boomer talking about Caitlin Clark hits 3.8 million views, drawing a response from Jemele Hill after being taken completely out of context. Next, an internet-exhausted Gio talks about wanting to pull the plug on social media and potentially starting nicotine pouches. Then, C-Lo returns for an update, but the conversation quickly shifts to interns crowding Al’s studio space. Finally, we close the hour with Gio discussing teachers' summer schedules and their annoyance when it's time to return to school.
