Boomer & Gio Podcast (WHOLE SHOW)

Boomer & Gio

Hour 1

Jerry and Joe Benigno are in for Boomer & Gio and started with the Mets win in St. Louis. Sean Manaea had another great pitching performance and the Mets got big hits from Tyrone Taylor and Jeff McNeil. Pete Alonso seemed very confident before the game, saying he’s on pace to hit 40 home runs. Both Jerry and Joe think Alonso is pressing because of the impending contract. If the Mets sign Juan Soto, you let Alonso walk. If you don’t, you have to keep Pete. Peter Schwartz is in for updates and starts with all the sounds from the Mets beating the Cardinals. Joe B doesn’t seem to be a big fan of Gary Cohen. The White Sox lost again, their 21st in a row. Daniel Jones was in the middle of a scrum with the Lions during joint practice. ‘Preseason football is like non-alcoholic beer’, according to Joe B. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry told the story about his son and a brain tumor from a few years ago in relation to Freddie Freeman and his son.

Hour 2

Joe and Jerry reminisce about the days of hosting overnights on WFAN. Jerry also recounts a story when he thought he was getting fired by Mark Chernoff and it somehow involved the Nets. We also took some calls on the Mets, Yanks and the Jets. Peter returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Mets beating the Cardinals and Pete Alonso being dropped down to fifth in the lineup. The White Sox lost their 21st game in a row, tying the A.L. record. The Giants and Lions were throwing punches in yesterday’s joint practice. Aaron Rodgers talked about having big expectations. In the final segment of the hour, we talked one hit wonders.

Hour 3

Not sure how we got to it, but Jerry said that Bill Belichick’s new girlfriend has a Mom who runs a sex shop in Massachusetts. We also talked about the new episodes of ‘Untold’ coming to Netflix, including one about the murder of Steve McNair. Peter returns for an update and starts with the Mets beating the Cardinals. Jerry wonders if bad teams will intentionally walk Aaron Judge. We also talked about some of the great Darryl Strawberry home runs. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry has headlines to read to get a reaction from Joe.

Hour 4

The Mets play in Colorado tonight for a series and then head to Seattle. The Yankees start a series with the Angels and can find themselves in first place when the series is over. Weather will be a factor in these Yankees games. A caller said when he and Joe B ‘drop dead’, the Jets are going to win the Super Bowl. A caller wonders what Joe’s favorite album of all time is. It’s a Beach Boys album. Peter Schwartz returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Mets beating the Cardinals. We talked about the Yankees and Joe wonders how much of the managing is Aaron Boone and how much is actually Brian Cashman. The Giants and Lions threw punches during a joint practice yesterday. We debated whether Aaron Rodgers should play at all in the preseason. The Moment of The Day involves how the band Steely Dan got their name. In the final segment of the show, Joe B again makes it known he is not a fan of Gary Cohen. This weekend Craig Carton is doing the Yankee games on radio with Suzyn Waldman.
