Boomer & Gio

Al & Jerry: When salaries go up, prices do too. So how do you get ahead?

Today on the show, we build up massive hype for tonight’s Knicks/Cavs playoff opener at the Garden, breaking down Jalen Brunson’s contract, comparisons to the '90s squad, and Gio’s supreme confidence in a series win. We recap a wild night in sports headlined by the Mets’ explosive 10-run 12th inning against the Nationals, the Yankees beating the Blue Jays behind a Jazz Chisholm homer, and the Spurs topping OKC in a double-OT thriller powered by Victor Wembanyama. Plus, we prep for Friday’s Kickoff to Summer at D’Jais as we celebrate Eddie’s final week before retirement—complete with sheep gifts and emotional check-ins. Finally, we react to Bill Belichick taking shots at Jets ownership on Pardon My Take and John Harbaugh making waves at a Giants town hall!

Tonight, the Knicks and Cavs battle at the Garden, the Mets score 10 runs in the 12th to beat the Nationals, and the LIRR strike ends with limited noon service. Boomer predicts a six-game Knicks series, Jerry delivers updates from Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson, and the Spurs top OKC in double OT behind a huge night from Victor Wembanyama. After hearing the sounds of the Mets' wild 12th inning, we check out Jazz Chisholm homering in Giancarlo Stanton’s pants, John Harbaugh’s bold claims at the Giants' town hall about kicking the Cowboys' ass, and the Canadiens advancing past the Sabres. We wrap it all up with Eddie’s "Yankees Elimination Day" t-shirts.

We’re getting ready for our Kickoff to Summer live from D’Jais in Belmar, NJ this Friday, which will be Eddie’s last show before retirement. We talk to Eddie about whether he’ll cry and when reality will actually hit him, followed by a caller on dialysis who wants his kidney. Jerry then updates us with the sounds of the Spurs beating OKC in double OT behind a dominant Victor Wembanyama, the Mets' 10-run 12th inning against the Nationals, and the Yankees' win over the Blue Jays. Finally, we preview tonight’s Knicks/Cavs opener and a caller's comparison to the Ewing/Starks team.

We talk Mets baseball and the N.L. East, with Boomer predicting the leading Braves will eventually hit injuries and a losing streak, before Dan in Carteret checks in about coming to Kickoff to Summer. Jerry then returns with updates: Knicks/Cavs preview from the players and Mike Brown, Spurs taking game one from OKC in double OT, the Mets' 10-run 12th inning against the Nationals, and the Yankees beating the Blue Jays as Jazz homered. Finally, Pete Crow-Armstrong shares his regret over his choice of words to a female fan who told him he sucked, and Boomer insists he's still getting Eddie sheep for his retirement gift.
