Boomer & Gio

About this episode

Boomer & Gio is made possible by:


Gio buys into the Giants hoping not to look foolish, then eagerly anticipates Boomer dealing with incoming "fire Frank Reich" callers. After touching on the anniversary of 9/11 and Relay For America, addressing a caller's frustration with early-season sloppy football, and revealing Gio's nighttime routine of cortisol cocktails and mouth tape, Jerry brings the updates: the 49ers' victory over the Rams featuring Brock Purdy's three touchdowns, Sean McVay's postgame admission, and Myles Garrett's statless performance. Finally, Bill Maher vents over a crowd photo during his monologue, Aaron Rodgers blasts ESPN as a "gutless organization," and we replay Anthony Volpe's grand slam in his big-league return to close out the hour.

It's the boomer in Geo podcast from W F A N. All right, we're in Geo company alive for the build Ford tough studio on the fan and CBS sports network. Give us a call on the red pocket mobile fan line brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier red pocket mobile first football Friday of the year, also the 25th remembrance of 9 11 2000 and one and as we go through the morning, of course, there's going to be a lot of ceremony happening down by ground zero as there is every single year at this time. So of course, that's where our thoughts are today more than anywhere else. So finally, we get a look at the jets and giants this weekend. I am really, really all in on at least both these games with these teams. Now, I can't be all in on the jets for the 2026 season can't do that.

But I am all in on the giants of the 2026 season. I am buying it. I am taking the bait. I am over rating them probably to a point where I'm going to look foolish. But because we have gone through what we've gone through with these teams, I'm going to take this time where everything is perfect because they haven't played a game and enjoy it because if we're sitting at Halloween again with both of these teams done for like they have been the last number of years outside of the one year when Brian, Dave, on Daniel Jones and say, Juan Barclay went to the postseason beat the Vikings and the playoffs and all of that. I mean, I'm not going to be able to take I just I am not going to be able to take two NFL teams in the same town again, being out of it in October. And it's just not going to happen. I think the giants are going to be in the mix for a wild card and even the division, the entire year long. And I just really, really hope that the jets beat the Titans this week because of all the narrative around how Rob Salas, some sort of genius that the jets just, you know, turned,

you know, the jets gave me lobotomy and then he got his brain back in San Francisco. And now he's going to be coach of the year in Tennessee. It's just so stupid. So, uh, finally, after months and months and months of talking about it, we'll get our eyes on these teams and I can't wait for the fire Frank right calls after week one that we have to take here and then boomers have to respond to that. Oh, that's not your nightmare. It's just a couple days away. That will not be the case. I can guarantee you that. The other thing too is that the giants, you know, you look at their first six games, you know, they, they could be if they were four and two after six, we'd be giddy. You take a look at the jets, however, they have to go to Green Bay to, they go home against Green Bay. That's our home opener. And then at the Troy at Chicago after Tennessee. Yeah, got to win this one. So they have to win this one. And I'm sure Tennessee is saying the same thing about having to get off to a good start at home with the new coaching staff. And the one they all saved the four teams that we just watched play the first two games, you know, those teams have all been, you know, they're solid.

They all have the same coaches. There's not a lot of change over same kind of quarterbacks. I wouldn't say it was very pretty, but with the jets and the giants, you have new coaches, Colin plays, different players. I mean, there's been a lot of change over for both of these teams. So it'd be interesting to see just like it was these first two games, what these games end up looking like. Are they glorified preseason games where the guys really struggle? And in the fourth quarter, you know, you've got to be mentally tough. You've got to be ready to rock and roll. And I think one thing that we've seen about John Harbock, and I don't know what, I'm sure Brian John Heimers doing things down there in Dallas as well, but John Harbock supposedly got this team in tip top shape. So when it comes to the fourth quarter, they're not dragon. And if that's the case, then that will be something that will be significantly different than the teams that we've seen in the last few years. Let's go to Brian and Manila Pan, what's going on, Brian? Morty Thomas, how are you? I'm so my daughter yesterday found a thing called Relay for America.

It's a flag relay that started up in Boston. There's 25 segments for 25 years. Each segment's 9.11 miles. And my daughter and I are right now on the corner of 65th and 5th, waiting for the relay to come here so we could join it for the last five and a half miles down to the World's Race Center. That's awesome. What time did they leave Boston or have they left Boston yet or now? Oh, yeah, they left Boston like two or three days ago. They just crossed over the third avenue bridge in Harlem. We're tracking it online. I think there's like 30 people running it right now that are running the full 9.11. And then I got a 16 or 17 of that kind of joining it along the way here in New York. And it's way to the World's Race Center by 830. And why are you doing this? So I took the pass into the World's Race Center that morning. I was not in the building when the first plane hit. I was already out of the building, but I was there that day. And I had to actually just make it to the World's Race Center. I was almost delayed a little bit.

I missed my train. My next train probably would have been there at that morning. My wife was over at 10th Plaza on the 55th floor pregnant with said daughter that I'm running with right now. So she had to walk down 55 points of stairs. We had to find each other somehow get back to New Jersey. I remember getting back to New Jersey looking in the mirror. I was sunburned for the day with so beautiful outside. It was something that I'll never forget. And we will never forget. And I'm sure that might hit remember forever as well. And the hope is to try to get the flags there by about 846 this morning. Is that right? I would think so. Yeah, you guys move it up. It's called Relays for America. And it started, I guess it started in Boston a couple days ago. And it's on its way here right now. Two American flags I understand, right? I believe so. Yep. And wow, 25 legs of 9.11 miles, obviously distinction there and retracing the basically flights 11 and 175.

Yep. There you go. Ryan, great stuff, man. Thank you, Brian. Thanks for the call. It's good luck today, man. Good time to mention this as well. We do the reads for the rock. The sister club, baiting hollow is going to be the final destination on Sunday for the 15th annual FDNY 343 ride. It's a 501 organization that would be gone in 2011 by firefighters from engine 50, latter 19 in battalion 26 in the South Bronx. The yearly event honors the memory of the 343 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11th. Since the inception, the organization has raised over 2.6 million for military veteran organizations. So the ride is going to start at ground zero. It's going to end at Bating Hollow. And you can go, it's open to the public. And to at Bating Hollow, they're going to receive the cyclists as they complete almost 100 miles on bicycles, begin at ground zero at 7 a.m. and the doors over to Bating Hollow to welcome them in at 3.30.

So really, really special things going on out there. And yesterday, actually, on the way home, I got stopped by a police escort of many cyclists who were riding. I saw Boston on their shirts and it looked like firefighter stuff. And it was about a thousand cyclists that came through and there was a police escort. So I was trying to look it up. I couldn't find what it was, but it was another one of those things. It's just a reminder of how many people get involved this time of year for special things. Well, this is the triumph that comes out of the tragedy. That's what all of this is. It really is people are, you know, they basically push themselves because they feel like they've been inspired by it. And that's like I said, the good thing that came out of this. Josh and Smith Down wants to talk some football with us. Good morning, Josh. What's happened to him, in? Good morning, actually, before my football point, one station point. So I actually lost my dad in 9.11. He worked on a 90 second floor in the North Tower.

He was an employee going to work that day. I was eight when it happened. And a couple of years later, I worked up the courage to call the station. And I remember my voice, shaky. I was talking about how sports in the station were a welcome distraction. And so all these years later, I'm now in 33. I have two kids of my own. You guys are still welcome distraction. I was looking forward to joining in today as I am every day. And so I just wanted to thank you for everything you guys do. Josh, that is, that's great to hear. So sorry to hear about your dad. I'm sure you're thinking about him all day today. Yeah, thank you guys again. My football point, though, after watching last night, I think we can all agree that the four teams that are played so far are pretty great teams. Teams that are expected to go pretty far in the season into the playoffs. And I think we can all agree that none of them look to be on top of their game. Maybe you could say that if Niners' offense was clicking a little bit last night, but I think that these coaches are too scared that these guys get hurt in preseason. And instead, we get to use first two, three weeks of preseason football on the regular season. And instead, they're like wasting these two, three games. So the Rams shouldn't have looked the way they did yesterday. If it's after they played a little bit, I don't think you were looking nearly as bad as he did.

Yeah, it also could have something to do with the travel for them. I was reading about whether or not there were a lot of comments after the game about the way that the Rams won about this. And they're really weren't, they weren't using it as an excuse. No football team, no football coach wants to use anything like that as an excuse. But then you start reading about some of these sports science people. Yeah. And there have been many that came out and said that what the Rams did was ridiculous. Well, they had their own sports science people and they worked on it for two years allegedly. And this is what they came up with. They said to stay on West Coast time. That's the best way to do it. So it's one of these things though that, yes, it'd be a weird man. Travel on 16 and a half hours in a plane, landing, getting to a press conference, trying to get some sleep. You're trying to sleep what everybody else in the country is awake. And then you're trying to be awake on your own time and your plan of football game at 1030 in the morning, local time. Yeah. I mean, I also think that how week two looks is something to think about as well.

Because some of the things that were written from a Rams perspective was they were willing to sacrifice the sleep and all of that stuff to be better off in the long term as opposed to being jet lagged for weeks, two and three and not getting their crap together. So we'll see. I mean, if the 49ers end up losing four straight games and are never right again and then the Rams go on to win four straight, then we'll go back and say, well, maybe what the Rams did was great and then Australia. You know, you are actually right because I've read a number of articles yesterday from people who have done the trip a lot going from say New York to Australia or LA to Australia. And a number of those people said the problem isn't really when you get to Australia. It's when you get home. And so maybe that's what the Rams are trying to limit the negative effect coming back here and getting ready to play the next 16 games. Of course, the Giants week two Aaron Donald didn't make the trip. And here are the Rams. They'll be a little bit more fresh, maybe.

Then the Niners because they have to shake off the jet lag. I have no idea. I mean, it's tough. I'm sure there's some people yesterday and the Rams have felt great. Yeah, I got it. I got to tell you after when's the night football? Thursday night football, Yankee baseball. I kind of feel like I have a little bit of jet lag going into a football Friday. Okay. I mean, like, you know, it wasn't like we got a lot of sleep this week. No, I know. I understand. I mean, it's, and I lost it at least. I would say, would you conservatively say 45 minutes looking for Doug Wells's golf ball? At least. At least. I did, I threw that mouth tape on last night. I've been trying my best to get this better sleep, you know, in the hours that I do sleep. Mouth tape? Yeah, yeah. Tapem, yeah, mouth tape. So I've, I've drinking this cortisol cocktail. Oh, here we go. Before bed. Got that magnesium. Yeah. So I got that going on.

And then I, uh, mouth tape. Is it then I tape? No, no, no, it's, it's just tape. I don't even know. It just goes on your lips and then, uh, make you breathe through your nose a little bit. Looks like a bandaid. Yeah. It's a little like a large bandaid, I guess. It's got a little hole in the middle of it, just in case. And it, and it forces you to breathe through your nose as opposed to mouth open and all that stuff. And I got to say so far so good. Not so bad. Really? Yeah. I got to be honest with you. I'm telling you, I did, like, so let's say I got five. Five hours last night. Those five hours straight through. Nice. mouth tape. Court is all cocktail. Little hole in it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you, if it keeps you, it keeps your lips together. Yeah. It's like that old thing that Jerry Rice put on his nose. No. No. Remember that thing that Jerry Rice just put on his nose?

No, it's totally different. Breathe strip. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Breathe right. Okay. Breathe right. So this is, I know, but it's kind of, this is a slim or material or bandaid material. It's like a bandaid material, I'd say. Yeah. Those breathe right things are totally different. I've tried a bunch of stuff. So I've double sided tape then. No, not double sided, no. No. No, no, no. I called it up together. No, you just put it on the ounce bar. Why? For that. And you can't talk at all. No, why would I want to? You want to sleep, you know? True. I'm not trying to talk to anybody. Yeah, I also tried the nose magnets, you know, open up the nose. That didn't really work for me. Nose magnets. I had the nose magnets. Never heard about nose magnets. Well, I told you about them at the time. Yeah, but I don't. You know, I don't remember that. Yeah, they didn't really work. And then those, those pills, those animal liver pills, that was a, that was a scam. I told you about those too. Yeah, you did.

I was eating like, like antelope. I mean, I mean, I think I know what you should try. If you really want to know. Pep ties? No. Well, Pep ties, yeah, I guess so. I mean, looking at how everybody else looks like. But I've never seen Sean Mirage so happy in my life. I mean, I think he's walking around with Bluetooth in his pocket. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But a fact. So I'm thinking that maybe that's the patty should go better. Soundproof filter rooms. What I've done with it. If I'll be screaming and banging and having better facts. That's what he here for the wolf. Man on man action. Whoa. Oh, that's right. Yeah. If that's what you into, you could take Bluetooth for that too. Why my house? This is what you're going to hear. Oh, oh,

oh, I'm having better facts. Don't come knocking with the more asses on banging. Oh, my God. That's terrible. Yeah. But anyway, I can't be. He sounds happier. The happiest I've heard him. Yeah. And he's it is right on the heels of his giant starting the season and Yankees playing better and all that stuff. I mean, yeah, we made him into a chicken parm hero that we're showing on CBS sports that work right now. And there's Tommy DeVito putting bread crumbs on his head. This is a thing that we did. Yes. Yeah. And then you've got the cheese and you're grading the cheese on his head. Look at the owls now. Great. I was going to say, yeah. I was going to one of those battery operated cheese graders. Yeah. Yeah. I think we're actually at that onion ring that's sitting out there.

Oh, probably. There's white onion ring. Yeah. I mean, we got French fries and onion rings and cookies out here. What are we doing? I don't want to be the one who has to throw it out. I threw out the wings. My hands smell like I've washed my hands three times. I've to throw it out. It's just this guy. Can we, can we do something about this? Is there anybody we can call out? To get rid of food? I'm sick when you're done with it. Just throw it out. The problem is what happens is like it's a lot of food and then people think, well, I'm not going to throw this food out. It's good food. Maybe the next shift of people and shows coming in. Maybe they want a little. And then you act like the next shift of people and shows is like 37 people coming here. It's two other people. Yeah. It's fleeks who can't taste anything. Right. Whoever the overnight host is. Right. Yeah. We had actually two producers here in the evening because we had the Westwood one and the Yankee Yankee Yankee. Oh, wow. Happy staff last night. Oh, my goodness. Happy staff. Well, they obviously did need.

Yeah. But who's going to even throw it out? Ray Martell. It's like leaving stuff out for the raccoons. You know? Like Ray once he comes in, he'll rummage through it. I mean, if you're leaving here at six o'clock, and you're leaving those French fries there to sit there, do you think that somebody's going to eat those French fries at nine o'clock? I don't know, man. Cook Mac and Carton. I just don't want to be the one who has to throw it out because I feel like it's not part of my job description. Yeah, but you're talking about the poop flies around here. I am. But that's because of the construction. I am talking about it. And we're dealing with it every day. We can't leave open food like this. Yeah, I understand. But it's there. Neither one of us has done anything about it this morning. Let's go to, uh, can you get them on? I can't get them on. Oh, Chris and Brooklyn. It's going on Chris. Hey, boomer, geo. Good morning. I'll say you do it today. All right, Chris. What's happening? Hey, gee, I want to ask you what makes Gina happier when she saw those firefighters in your bedroom

after you took those pills or put in tape over your mouth. Yeah. Have a good day. Thanks, Chris. Yeah. We'll be trained. I put the tape on my mouth when I go to sleep. I make her wear it while she's awake. Come on. It's a joke. No, I know it is. I just said it's a joke. I've been just laughing at that. Yes, I do. I thought I would appreciate it if you did. I was just going to go right into a life. No, it's fine, of course. Now she doesn't. We don't have kids that come into school right now, right? Yeah, it's so. What am I supposed to do? I was supposed to do. Do a show for just my family. No. What are you doing? No, what are we doing here? No, no, you're right. It's the Boomerangio podcast from WFAN. I'm a football Friday Boomerangio on the fan and CBS Sports Network, the road to Los Angeles, where the Super Bowl is going to be, is presented by Helix Wireless, where connectivity meets the possibility and River Spring Living experience the difference.

Visit riverspringliving.org. Jerry's back with another update. What's happening? Oh, it's a football Friday. It's also a feel good Friday brought to you by Surfside AST, Lemonades and Vodka. It's not a Seltzer. It's a surfside. The NFL season is upon us. We're now two games in. We had the Seahawks win on Wednesday night. Well, last night in Australia, it was the Niners turn. Pretty under center gets the step back to pass with Todd looking, looking, taking a shot. Deep down the field got a man open. It is caught. Touchdown for the Niners. Bernie goes deep down the field and finds DeMarc Is Robinson. It's a 39, you're touched down strike. And with that, the 49ers have replayed the win. They had, at that point, it was 10-7 Ryan Riteke on Westwood 1. They would tack on 17 more and beat the Rams 27-7, as they take this season opener, Brock had three touchdown passes on the night. He was quite efficient. And there's a lot of conversation and has been about the fact that the Niners got there so much earlier in the week, whereas the Rams just kind of flew in, slept play the game and

nether on their way home. Here was Purdy. We did the right thing and it worked out. A week early, everyone obviously heard about it. And I think when we jogged out there today and stuff, we definitely fell the love from all the Australians that were pulling for us and stuff. So I think it was cool that we came out here. Now in terms of the Rams, here's Sean McVeigh. It's a bad night or bad morning. He goes, that's it. Sometimes sports can humble you and today was one of those days I make no excuses. And you know, whether you want to say it's about travel or whatever, we just weren't good enough in that window. And any way, shape or form, coaching, playing, games. Sounded refreshed. He sounded fine. No, he sounded fine. That damn magic mind. That's what's going on. Here was Miles Garrett who was a big zero in his Rams day. Beuses. Yeah, it was rough. We got to be better. My self especially. We didn't execute as we wanted to. We got to beat on all three phases. And we got to do more. Now there is a lot more on this team that can be done.

And those talks to us as leaders. Even one of the greatest players in today's game can have an off game and can stand up there in front of the mic and take accountability. It's kind of like what Drake May did on Wednesday night. This is what Miles Garrett did last night. And you know, I'm sure that they will get their games back in order. Week two, week three, once they get going here. Pay the other team too. There you go. That's right. Remember when, was it Len Burman spanning the globe? Yes. Right. Yeah. Well, we're going to span the TV dial for just a moment. Right. What do you think caused this reaction from a news 9 Melbourne anchor news anchor? You saw this, didn't you? I didn't. No, I didn't see this. Did you see one of the good looking NFL players? Maybe. What do you think, Jay? She, she won more ash, took some blue shoes and found her. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Bad as sack. Any thoughts in there? Sounds like Michael Jackson. No, she wasn't doing Michael Jackson. And instead this is a 25 second clip in the middle of it you will hear. We're watching some footy game in America. The Rams and the San Francisco 69ers play a rubbish game. It's a 40. 40. 40 Niners. But that sounds much more interesting. Yes. A lot of people might pay to see this. That's what we were doing. The 40 Niners. That's much harder to explain to your wife. The San Francisco 69ers and the Los Angeles vaginas take Melbourne by storm. Who put that in there? Is that Larry again? You cheeky son of a gun. He's always messing with us.

Watching it. It looked very real to where I think someone screwed up with the teleprompter on her. And she had no idea. So that was funny. Meantime. Be careful with your phone. If you go see Jack White, Bob Dylan, I believe the luminaires when I Google that are other bands that don't allow phones into their shows. Or in this case Bill Marr when he's doing his TV show and he's doing his monologue and he asks to stop. What are you taking the f***ing picture? No picking pictures during the monologue. Can you take this guy's phone away and throw a button? I don't know. I don't know if I throw you out. This f***ing root is f***ing. And then he kind of walked back was going to reset, but he just couldn't let it go. Hey, it would even your fans or f***ing. Yes. That was pretty funny actually. You know, he had Sophie Reign on his podcast. I didn't watch it. Yeah, or listen to it. Yeah, but he only fans, yeah, like the 22 year old or something.

He's younger. Fascinated by pornography. Yeah, but he talks about it openly. Right. Right. I don't know if I'm fascinated, but he definitely talks about it. Well, what I mean, people don't. What I mean by that is the business he enjoys watching it as he tells. But also the business of it. Right. That's what I mean by that. Yeah. So yeah, it was interesting. And he's like talking to her about like global issues and stuff. Yeah. So like people just think, you know, I'm someone like a, you know, it gets naked on the internet. You know, and I'm just some sort of whore, but I'm really more than that. He's like, mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for your time. Right. Is she the one who's a virgin? Yeah. That's what she says. Yeah. I don't know. Tim Tebow said that for years too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sunday one of the jazz play tight. You Sunday night you got the giants and the cowboys, a couple more from Aaron Rogers. I'll have more next hour as well. This on the cam Hayward podcast. Now these are long because it isn't shut up.

This is Rogers with his message to ESPN. You're a gutless organization. Because they spend so much time on certain issues, but you won't, you won't talk one second about the dining receiving situation. What just happened? Let's see. The owner of this, the Niners, it's listed a prostitute for $140 in Ohio. That literally was the number one topic when you click on ESPN.com, right? They won't rotate the eight stories or whatever they have, but they usually have like the one story that's featured. That was the featured story. So you bring in how many millions of eyes to that situation? Why do you want to throw Chad York on the bus? I don't know. I would continue and he believes Rascini and what happened with Rae Bull is worse than Chad York. Does that have the same effect as a reporter who's, you know, has intimate relations with a coach who has a vote for MVP, has a vote for coach of the year. I don't know if she's on a polyfame or not, but there's voting stuff. There was the thing about Morgan Moses going from the jets to New England that was posted

a day early. How many other inside stuff was shared? There are a lot of insiders out there. Yeah. I'll have strong integrity. And by the way, remember, he was a quarterback with the jets. There were some coaches that were on the jets staff that were from Mike Veribull's Tennessee staff. And this and members, she was reporting a lot on the jets. Oh, yeah. And negatively. Yes. A lot of it was negatively. And he was, you know, obviously he was here the first year he was hurt the second year. He was living right through all that stuff. And they were probably over there going, where else all this stuff come? Or she getting all this stuff from? I loved when someone floated the idea. I don't think it's true because I think it was just somebody who was out there taking pictures that's jets had hired the private investigator. Yeah. I love that idea that was floated out there. I don't know if that's the, believe that's the case, but that would have been hilarious but was Yankees beat the Rockies 10 to three. We heard from Dave Simpson, Susan Last Hour on the Volpe Grand Slam.

I would sound it on TV on the Yes Network. Great field. Got that. Turning. Looking. See how about that, a Grand Slam. Water returned to the big leagues for Anthony Volpe. Shalom is Michael K on Yes, the Grand Slam. Five RBIs as he played second base last night. The Yankees. That's the Volpe. Yankees played 10-3. Here was Volpe on the field with Susan after the game and a very straightforward question. Will you a little nervous coming out here today? It hasn't been going all that well for you. Fan wise here. No, I just wanted to play. And you heard in the call by K talking about what a way to come back. Well, here was Volpe who takes nothing for granted. Nothing guaranteed, obviously. I thought I was never going to be back up here. So I was trying to make the most of it. Yeah, and he certainly did three for four with that Grand Slam, the RBIs single. And that's why he is our thriving player of the game brought to you by Thrive Well, the New York Premier Infusion and Injection Center, saving lives, dripped by drip, visit

Thrive Well, infusion. Yeah, can I ask you guys a question? I mean, given what he did last night and everything that's gone on around him over the last year and a half, I'm most last night one of the more satisfying sports moments in New York this summer for him. Nick or I may be in ship. What? The next one a championship this summer. No, but I'm just saying like for the individual player. Yeah, give me one night and give me five minutes to think about it. But I know what you're saying. Five. Yeah, he this kid got destroyed earlier this summer. That's what I'm saying. So for him, I would say yeah, probably. And he had to go back down to the minors and then his replacement came up, had like six games in a row with an error and somehow some way, you know, these injuries that the Yankees have had all season long had given all these kids another opportunity to come here and make plays and that's all they do. A Brian Cashman's a genius. New York natural stamp of my three games in the ALEs Braves beat the raise three one Yankees

met tonight Carlos Rodon and Nolan McLean are the starters in the series opener at seven oh five. We'll have it for you right here on the fan Rutgers at Boston College more on that game and the meaning of it coming up next hour and at the US open both Americans Coco Gophen Jessica Pugula did lose in the semi finals. So they are out. That's unfortunate. Not that I was paying too much attention to it, but always worked for the American tennis players. Yeah. It's the boomerangio podcast from WFAN. Hi, former NGO on the fan and CBS sports network first football Friday of the year. Erie two games in the books. We'll make some bad football picks coming up at nine 45 like we normally do every year. We'll see if anybody can finish over 500 this year. I forgot who won last year. I never really remember. I'm certain it was not me last year. At least I don't think it was. I want to say Jerry won last year. Jerry win last year. Who knows?

Every year to new. It's like who cares? Oh, here we go. Oh, big guy won. Oh, everybody under 500. Congratulations, but I won. Yeah, you did win. Right at the top, there's I wasn't. That's so bad. I had a six game lead on you guys in the winning column. Yeah, but I mean, it's nothing to really crawl about. You know, it's like winning the division at eight and nine. You know, you still get to the Super Bowl. You still could, but we just got to do better this year. I think that's fair to say. I think, you know, now, you know, we've seen these two four teams play. I think we could also do something which team do we think will have the biggest jump from where they were last year? Yeah, okay. I mean, everybody's going to say like the chiefs. You could say the chiefs if you were the lion. You could say the lions were nine and eight. Yeah, but still they can bet. So they're going to go, you know, 12 wins maybe. I don't know. So that yeah, okay, I'm just saying.

That's all. Well, why what's your team? I'm not telling you why why do I want to tell you my team? Because we're doing a talk show about sports. Yeah, but I'll tell you my team and I'll reveal my team when we get to that point. What I don't want to have an impact on your decision because I think are you taking the chiefs? The biggest jump. No, I'll say the giant. Okay, that's my team. All right, well, there you go. That's a good pick for you. Okay, so what's your pick? Saints. You like the Saints? So you like that tireless shock? I do. Huh? Okay. So I have a you want to do a list and I have your level list. I have a Julie and Oakdale. Julie, good morning. How are you? Good morning. How are you guys? I'm Julie. How are you dear? I'm great. So I was giving you a call. Yeah. My girls are running in the New York City Marathon. Yes. Yes. And they're with team Boomer. Yep. So they've been working hard to raise funds and we're doing a fundraiser this Saturday

at MoMo's in Bayport from one to four and I was hoping we'll have music and raffles and food. And I was looking for a shout out to see if we could pack the house and raise some more money for team Boomer. All right. So what's the name of the place again? MoMo's. MoMo's two in Bayport. Okay. 67 Montauk Highway. All right. I'm going to go into the place. Amazing wings. Tremendous planes. Yeah. Yep. And that's this is going to be your this is going to be your second fund raising event. I think, right? You are correct. We have one in July back in the coffee in Bayshore. Right. And we're going to know this is just Jerry K. Hill's all over it. You know what I mean? Oh, he's great. Yeah. He's really helpful. He is great. Well, Joey, thank you very much. I hope everything goes well this weekend for you guys and your two daughters and I hope they have an enjoyable day on the on marathon day. That is awesome. One of the many great B E F events team Boomer events. By the way, I'm seeing we got giants Cowboys tickets in the 9 a.m. Our day as well. Now we're talking about that. Yeah, giants Cowboys tickets. 9 a.m.

Our stay tuned for that. Let's go to John and Tom's river. What's going on, John? Gentlemen, it's a pleasure, man. Boomer, I got to say what a great way to start the show with that 911. So if you man, that was very well done. And Gio, I just wanted to add one thing to let me get to my goal. People in after this, nobody in the history about as played on the course that you played to start your career. I don't even PGA tour members started out on the courses you started on. I am very so much gratitude and appreciation to this John. I'll get you to both be pointing to second, but I got to tell you how so correct you are. I mean, because as we're driving back from due process, he's telling me like, you know, a couple of the other golf courses he hasn't played in the area that he wants to get onto. So you know, you don't wear that falls, right? That falls right into my lap. Hey, I don't take it very well. No, you don't, but you don't take advantage. But yes, John is correct in his assessment. I agree. I agree. Very fortunate. And I hope Mr. Welles is a good friend.

You're salmon. I'm on the radio. I'd be a little better. Oh, obviously, you know, he kind of likes it. I mean, he's a great guy. He's a wonderful human being. He is. He works for Reykjitina. We love him the death, but he is just, you know, he's a great fisherman. He's a great fisherman. 100,000. He's a great fisherman, but he cannot play golf for the life of him. But I just want to say, two to hope, you man. I don't think anyone slept better than him last night. What do you think about that? I mean, but really think about the Yankee season this year. And you think about all the injuries and all the guys that have had to play third base, shortstop, second base, first base, DH, right field, move a guy to center field, move a guy over to left field, bring another guy back over to the right field. I mean, Aaron Boone should be manager of the year for God's sake. Now I mentioned that about a month ago. I was looking at the odds. He's nowhere near the top. And I think I think it's a real testament. Look, they played the Rockies. They stink. You know, that's a minor league team. A minor league is. Yeah.

But, you know, they had to do this. They had to sweep the Rockies. They got to try to take two out of three from our beloved Mets. I hope that doesn't happen. I want to know him. I claim to go out there and I want him to have a great outing tonight and shut down this, this offense of the Yankees. But I have to say for a local kid that had the world at his fingertips for about a year and a half to two years. And then they get sent down to the minors and be embarrassed and then be replaced by another younger kid who had his struggles when he first came up here. And then they have this kid come back. If the jazz gets hurt and do what he did last night, I mean, that's a testament to the Yankee culture. They're, you know, the way that they develop players, the way that they use their players. And they have, they have such a deep well of players to go to. Absolutely. It has been a really interesting and positive and that's not passive aggressive by the way. But that is just nothing but total respect. Regular season and Aaron Judge coming back and we just start feeling better and better

about the team day by day.
