Boomer & Gio

Hour 1

Boomer is back from vacation and working with Jerry as we wait for Gio to return tomorrow. Boomer was golfing in Wisconsin. He watched a lot of Yankees and Mets baseball and did not like one national broadcast he stumbled upon. The Mets had an awful weekend to finish off a bad road trip. The offense has gone cold and Pete Alonso is losing money every day. Jerry has a clip to set the stage for a full breakdown of Craig Carton calling the Yankees series this weekend. WFAN legend John Minko has our updates for the day and is asked about the time he wore a speedo to work after losing a bet. Minko reviews Craig’s performance calling the Yankees this weekend and has a highlight of Giancarlo Stanton’s 3-run homer. Craig joked about Boomer’s hope for a foul ball coming in the booth when one headed that way. Boomer is not happy with Sal Licata. The Mets are 7-9 and have fallen from the top Wild Card to the outside looking in since Sal tweeted that the NL Wild Card race was over. Minko was moved by the Olympics. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry says it’s crazy the big vacation week is over and that Gio got lucky going to Italy last week rather than Fire Island. Does Tommy DeVito have a future with the Giants?

Hour 2

Michael Rubin is back to promote Fanatics Fest, which is this weekend. He was just in Paris for the Olympics and tells us about being in the crowd for Team USA’s comeback against Serbia. Rubin is excited for Fanatics Fest to be the first sports festival of its kind. He expects it to be one heck of a party. Minko returns for an update and begins with Craig calling Juan Soto “Luis Sojo”, who last played for the Yankees 23 years ago. Craig told a story about playing chess with Albert Belle in Cleveland. Boomer, Jerry and Eddie don’t remember hearing that story before. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer and Jerry give credit to Suzyn Waldman for the great job she did working with Craig. There was a lot of buzz around Craig calling the games. The Yankees have a Clay Holmes problem and an even larger bullpen problem.

Hour 3

Every NFL team now has a preseason game and Boomer emphasizes why he thinks it’s important for every player to get the feel of a game before the regular season starts. Daniel Jones will play Saturday. Jerry thinks the Giants will be sneaky good and alive in the playoff race. Minko returns for an update but first, Boomer has an idea for a new podcast he wants Jerry to host. Minko tells us about retirement and his expectations for St. John’s. Minko says Rick Pitino called every member of the selection committee to find out why St. John’s was left out and received all different answers. Suzyn thinks Craig has some interesting ideas after hearing Craig explain his dislike of one baseball rule. The Mets looked like a team that didn’t belong this weekend in Seattle. Could we see Boomer playing flag football at the 2028 Summer Games? In the final segment of the hour, Boomer and Jerry react to a story of people using technology to avoid paying tolls.

Hour 4

The Mets had a brutal weekend in Seattle and need to bounce back with a 5-1 stretch to start this homestand. The Mets missed an opportunity to gain ground on the Phillies. Sean McVay thought the NFL’s new kickoff was goofy. Boomer thinks it will take some time to get used to. Minko is back for his final update of the day and begins by giving Boomer what he asked for: the top 5 NHL free agent moves of the summer. Minko has some highlights of Craig calling the Yankees games including Craig pulling a Peter Schwartz and saying “teq-ee-a” instead of tequila. The United States had a very good 2024 Summer Olympics. The Moment of The Day involves a Suzyn Waldman clip we used to play quite often. Minko tells us about his upcoming schedule. In the final segment of the show, Boomer tells Jerry about the golf course he played at and the ...
