Hour 1

The Chiefs are now in the middle of a dynasty after beating the Niners. Patrick Mahomes stuck a dagger right into the hearts of Niners fans and Kyle SHANAHAN. Gio said he’s lost his identity being out in Las Vegas for so long. We all loved Usher’s halftime show. The Niners defense was flying around which kept it low scoring the first three quarters. Boomer said nobody is playing quarterback like Mahomes right now. He can always find a way. Boomer said if he won the coin toss in overtime, he would have deferred instead of taking the ball like SHANAHAN did. The Chiefs did not score a lot of points in the playoffs but managed to get through everybody. Jerry is here for his first update of the day, but first we’re concerned about this snow storm back at home. We have not been paying attention while here in Vegas. Jerry has the game winning TD as called by Kevin Harlan. Some of the players seemed confused by the playoff overtime rules. Kyle SHANAHAN talked about his decision to take the ball in OT instead of deferring. Mahomes wants a three-peat next year. Ochocinco was going to give up eating McDonalds, get a divorce and give up sex if the Chiefs lost. In the final segment of the hour, Al said he was sitting with riff raff and couldn't believe people paid that much for tickets. Taylor Swift was in a box and was seen talking to Roger GOODELL. Boomer thinks this will be the highest rated Super Bowl ever. 

Hour 2

Gio, Al and Eddie went to the NFL tailgate and Gwen Stefani performed. Gio also detailed our exit out of the stadium where an angel from heaven helped us get from one hotel to a parking lot to get picked up. Stephen Waldron of CBS Sports has a lot of nervous energy in public, and it was on full display when he golfed with us. Stephen also does a cough thing to release nervous energy when things get awkward. Jerry is back for another update and starts with Jim NANTZ’S call of the game winning TD by the Chiefs. Mecole Hardman said he blacked out after making the catch. Travis KELCE sang Viva Las Vegas after the game. Mahomes won the MVP again. Kyle SHANAHAN explained why he took the ball first in overtime. Kevin Harlan does play by play of the streaker running on the field. Tony ROMO made a Hulk Hogan reference and sang Adele into break. The Waste Management in Phoenix was a drunken mess with hecklers fighting with golfers. In the final segment of the hour, Gio was on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown with Randy Moss to discuss Al booking the other Randy Moss. 

Hour 3

Right now there are way too many people involved in our luggage getting to the airport. Boomer tells a story about coming back to the hotel last night, and only one elevator was working. There was a guy screaming about how the Chiefs suck and how Taylor Swift sucks. When Coach COWHER showed up, the guys stopped acting like a jackass. We talked about the NFL Today Hangover skit and Gio said COWHER was not a great actor. Jerry is here for another update and starts with the final TD as heard on Niners radio. Andy Reid talked about Travis KELCE getting in his face on the sideline early in the game. Boomer said that did not look good on the sideline. Chris Jones of the Chiefs talked about being prepared for the new overtime rules. Brock Purdy talked about the Chiefs offense and how you can’t let Mahomes hang around. Phil Simms’ pick before the game was very confusing. Rex Ryan disputed Adam Schefter’s story about the Cowboys hiring Mike Zimmer as defensive coordinator. In the final segment of the hour, the Brock Purdy questions have been answered. He played well enough to cement himself as their quarterback. Purdy has a great contract which favors the Niners. The McCaffrey fumble on the first drive set the tone for the game. But if the Niners won, McCaffrey would have been the MVP with the combined rushing and receiving yardage. 

Hour 4

Gio said today will be a big Mahomes ass kissing day, well deserved of course. Jordan, Kobe, Brady and now Mahomes. Boomer has some Mahomes stats for us. Boomer compares the careers of Mahomes and Jordan. Gio went to a LIV golf tournament. He enjoyed it, but said he couldn’t take it seriously. Jerry is here for his final update of the day but first we talked about how great of a Super Bowl city Vegas was. Jerry starts with the winning TD as heard on Chiefs radio (they were excited). Mahomes is talking about a three-peat for next season. Mecole Hardman explained the play that resulted in the game winning TD. Andy Reid talked about KELCE getting in his face and bumping him on the sideline. KELCE also did some Viva Las Vegas after the game.

Moment of The Day involves CBS Sports producer Stephen Waldron’s anxiety on the golf course. In the final segment of the show, Jerry provides some final thoughts on the week in Vegas, Super Bowl and Chiefs dynasty as Boomer, Gio, Al and Eddie leave early for the airport.

Hour 1

We are live from Vegas for Super Bowl week. Bad news for the Knicks as Jalen Brunson turned his right ankle late in the game last night against the Grizzlies. Kyrie was asked by a fan last night in Brooklyn why he didn’t play this way with the Nets and he blamed Mayor Adams. Boomer loved that he took a shot at the Mayor as he has no control of the city. Gio said Kyrie did a lot of strange things in his tenure with the Nets that had nothing to do with the Mayor and the vaccines. Gio said he also got suspended for being an anti semite, are we forgetting about that? Randy Moss tweeted, ‘Someone got Moss’d’ after Al confused the Hall of Famer with horse racing broadcaster, Randy Moss. That was the big Super Bowl story from Tuesday. Eddie walked to UNLV to get a t-shirt yesterday. It was a 6 mile round trip. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with Rutgers beating Maryland, so Boomer owes Jerry $1,000 cash. If Maryland won, Jerry would have had to eat a gummy. We heard from Chris Carlin on the call. Boomer, Gio and Jerry are golfing today and it’s going to be cold. The Knicks beat the Grizzlies but we hear the play by play of when Jalen Brunson injured his ankle. Boomer thinks Mike Breen is doing more Knicks games because they’re winning. Kyrie Irving returned to Brooklyn and a fan asked why he didn’t play like this with the Nets and he blamed Mayor Adams. Joe Buck was on a podcast and thinks something bad will happen this week and it won’t stay in Vegas. Gio thinks because it’s Vegas, the teams and players are on high alert about not doing something stupid. Buck SHOWALTER was on the Jon Heyman podcast and talked about load management. He is not a fan. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer was the subject of a lot of interviews yesterday as part of CBS media day for the Super Bowl. Tony ROMO talked about sports gambling and said it makes the game feel less pure. Gio doesn’t agree with that. Jim NANTZ said his favorite food is stone crab. Second favorite is popcorn. He also eats a hotdog at halftime of every game he does, but brings his own bottled ketchup. Boomer remembers a time doing a game with NANTZ where they had to stop by McDonalds on their way to the game. 

Hour 2

We are taping a segment with Drew Barrymore today that will air later in the week. They will be commenting on a new fashion trend for me, gigantic butts. Gio would not get butt implants but he would get fat sucked out of his man boobs. We don’t know a single man who is trying to get a bigger butt. Sports books in the middle of the day, with only horse racing on, is a sad spot. SAQUON Barkley just walked by and Al went chasing him down but his agent said ‘absolutely not’. Gio said LeBron has a mangled foot, particularly his pinky toe. Gio said he should cut it off and put it up on auction. Jerry returns for an update and starts with celebrities congratulating Clyde Frazier and Mike Breen for 25 years of Knicks coverage. The Knicks beat the Grizzlies but Jalen Brunson twisted an ankle late in the game. Kyrie, Luka and the Mavs had no problem in Brooklyn. Kyrie said he felt like he was home and he’s made peace with his time with the Nets. The Raptors have a player with the last name Dick, and the Pelicans broadcasters couldn’t handle it. Rutgers beat Maryland and Jerry has audio from Chris Carlin on the call. John Minko was on the call as St. John’s beat DePaul. Shannon Sharpe and Ochocinco are close to a million subscribers and want to drink cognac down the back when that happens. In the final segment of the hour, Jim Rome is leaving CBS Sports Network for X. Rome will join Tucker Carlson as a host over there. Tucker interviewed Vladimir Putin which is sure to upset some people. The mayor of Las Vegas doesn’t seem to want the A’s to move here. Boomer said it’s a done deal, they are moving to Vegas. Eventually an NBA team will come to Vegas. 

Hour 3

It’s been a quiet week so far in Vegas which is good for both teams involved. Boomer said both teams are staying 20 miles or so outside of the city. Coach COWHER told a story about putting in a defense the night before the Super Bowl that they used 39 times in the game against Seattle. Hines Ward was the MVP in that Super Bowl. Tory Holt is up for the Hall and Boomer says it’s his time. There is a log jam at WR in Hall nominees right now. We went through some of the guys up for the Hall of Fame. We talked about James Brown’s entourage. He is scheduled to come on at 9am with us. Boomer talked about all the stuff James has to do for the NFL Today every week. Jerry is here for an update and James Brown’s entourage is at six so far. Jerry starts with celebrities congratulating Clyde and Mike Breen on 25 years together.

Hour 4

James Brown joined us on location at the Blue Wire Studios at the Wynn in Vegas. We talked about CBS’ coverage of the Super Bowl and all of the charities James is involved with. We talked about his great interview with Michael Vick from back in the day when he asked, ‘what about the dogs, what about the dogs?’ JB claims to have gotten drunk on popcorn dipped in bourbon. JB confirms that Phil Simms wears his wife’s glasses. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with Jalen Brunson injuring his ankle late in last night’s win against the Grizzlies. Kyrie returns to Brooklyn as the Mavs beat the Nets. A fan asked Kyrie why he didn’t play this well in Brooklyn and he blamed Mayor Adams. There was a man walking around naked in a Florida airport. Rutgers beat Maryland and Jerry won $1,000 from Boomer. Chris Russo had Clark Hunt on his radio show and asked him about Andy Reid retiring. Boomer said we are in the MAHOMES era of the NFL. The Moment of The Day involves Al chasing down SAQUON Barkley in the hotel and Boomer doing his best KADARIUS Toney impression. In the final segment of the show, Awful Announcing posted that James Brown confirmed Phil Simms wears lady glasses. We are heading over to Drew Barrymore’s show right after this show is over. Boomer wonders what Shane Gillis will do on SNL. Gio said he might be a fraud on Drew Barrymore’s show and act like he loves the Taylor Swift/Travis KELCE relationship.

It’s been a quiet week so far in Vegas which is good for both teams involved. Boomer said both teams are staying 20 miles or so outside of the city.

Hour 1

The Super Bowl matchup is set between the Chiefs and Niners. Chiefs/Ravens was an incredible physical game. Gio swore he would never bet against Mahomes again, and yet he took the Ravens. Mahomes is the undisputed king. He is impossible to topple. He’s like a surgeon. Lamar Jackson threw a terrible pick in the end zone in the fourth quarter. Travis Kelce had his best game ever. Gio said Patrick Mahomes made Travis Kelce and Andy Reid immortal. The Ravens had a ton of terrible penalties which killed them. The Lions twice went for it on 4th down and failed, when they could have gone for field goals.

Dan Campbell talked about the disappointment of losing to the Niners. In the final segment of the hour, SNL did a skit about the NFL Today but left out Boomer. And why did the lights go out on CBS during the halftime show? Boomer was told somebody tripped over a wire and pulled it out of the socket. 

Hour 2

Unfortunately Boomer did not run into Taylor Swift in Baltimore. Boomer did run into Jim Harbaugh and told Boomer he hears his sports minutes sometimes. Boomer said there was a tense moment at the train station last night leaving Baltimore on the Amtrak Acela. There was one ‘asswipe douchebag’ who approached Boomer, Nate and Cowher.

He went on Instagram live to say these things. And he cursed a lot. Boomer wonders why Gio is fascinated with Kadarius. 

Hour 3

Boomer wonders if Travis Kelce will propose to Taylor Swift if they win the Super Bowl. Gio thinks CBS would pay for the private plane to get her there from Tokyo. We talked about Usher being the halftime show and who the special guests could be (not Taylor Swift). We also talked about the early spread in the Super Bowl. We talked about the disparity in paychecks between Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about the Super Bowl halftime show with Katy Perry and the left shark that wasn’t dancing properly. Jerry has audio from the very unfunny SNL skit involving the NFL Today. Jerry has audio from the Niners win over the Lions as San Francisco scored 27 straight points.

In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the differences between Brock Purdy and Patrick Mahomes. 

Hour 4

We talked about Usher doing the halftime show and Boomer wondered if Usher requested Taylor Swift to join him. Boomer then said he knows that he (Boomer) is obsessed with the Taylor Swift stuff. Gio said Patrick Mahomes is responsible for Andy Reid being a great coach and Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift. He put them both right in the Hall of Fame. Without Mahomes, Kelce would just be a regular tight end. Jerry returned for an update but first Boomer invited us to a watch event in Vegas where we have to wear nice clothes. Jerry has all the sounds from the Chiefs/Ravens game including Lamar Jackson, who talked about the turnovers they had in key spots. Dan Campbell talked about being crushed by the loss. Jalen Brunson talked about Julius Randle’s shoulder injury. The Moment of The Day involves the NFL Today guys in an altercation at the Baltimore train station.

Moment of The Day involves the NFL Today crew having an altercation at the Baltimore train station.

Boomer, Coach Cowher and Nate Burleson were almost involved in a physical altercation at the Baltimore train station last night.

Hour 1

The Knicks absolutely blew out the Denver Nuggets last night at the Garden. We talked about Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby’s performance. It’s also NFL Championship weekend and the Ravens may get TE Mark Andrews back. If the Knicks are going to do damage this year, Julius Randle is going to have to be as good in the playoffs as he is in the regular season and we haven’t seen that from him yet. But Gio has faith in him this year. He has been phenomenal. The Falcons hired Raheem Morris, so it looks like Bill Belichick will not coach in 2024. Bill Cowher thinks that maybe NFL owners think Belichik is coaching to get the all time winning record and not to win another Super Bowl. Boomer also talked about why it’s hard to hire a guy like Belichick. This opens the door for Belichick to the Giants if Brian Daboll and the Giants don’t have a good year. Right now, the Giants don’t have any weapons, especially if Saquon leaves. Daniel Jones will not be ready at the start of the season, so what is their plan at QB? Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Knicks dominating the Nuggets. Charles Barkley thinks Jalen Brunson should be starting in the All Star Game over Damian Lillard. Kayvon Thibodeaux was on Carmelo Anthony’s podcast and said he thought Saquon should have been paid before Daniel Jones. Patrick Mahomes Sr was on with Evan and Tiki yesterday and he said he was not in the box with Taylor Swift. Everyone thought it was him but he was in a different box. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer is heading to Vegas next week to shoot his NFL Greatest Super Bowl Commercials TV show. We also talked about golf courses only wanting us in Vegas if Boomer is playing. If Gio doesn’t golf out there, what is he supposed to do? Eat, drink and gamble for 9 days? 

Hour 2

The Carolina Panthers have hired Dave Canales as their new head coach. He was the Bucs offensive coordinator. Gio said the only way he got that job was because nobody else wanted it. Boomer wonders what’s going on with Colts owner Jim Irsay. We haven’t heard anything about him since hearing he was administered Narcan back in December. We also talked about the Oscars, Barbie and Oppenheimer. Gio did impressions of Mike Francesa with a message for Margot Robbie. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Knicks dominating the Nuggets last night at MSG. Jerry previewed the NFL Championship games. Fans at the Red Wings game were chanting Jared Goff’s name. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer & Bill Cowher were driving around Long Island yesterday and Boomer took him to where the Gilgo Beach killer dumped the bodies. Later in the day they talked to the guy who is prosecuting him. What would it be like for Bill Cowher to ride the subway? 

Hour 3

Both Bill Belichick and Mike Vrabel look like they are not going to be coaching in 2024. Belichick could be on the Giants radar if Brian Daboll has a bad year. We also talked about NFL owners having no patience these days. It looks like lots of rain in Baltimore for Sunday’s championship game. Boomer wonders why Al got tickets for the Sphere without going through the hotel concierge. Al has no idea how to handle concierges. Jerry is here for an update but first Boomer found something for us to do in Vegas: drive tanks. A concierge calls in to tell us how you should always use one and they don’t have the word ‘no’ in their vocabulary. Jerry has audio from Andrew ‘Dice’ Clay’s interview on BT & Sal yesterday. BT made an unfortunate joke that made us all uncomfortable. In the final segment of the hour, new Panthers head coach Dave Canales is on Twitter and Gio said it’s time for him to get off. 

Hour 4

This is the last real week of football before the insanity starts in Vegas. Gio doesn’t want the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Mahomes has won enough and he doesn’t want to see Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. He is ‘Chiefs’ out’. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Knicks clobbering the Nuggets at MSG last night. Carmelo Anthony thought Phil Jackson was a great coach despite his tenure with the Knicks. He also liked the triangle but said the younger players weren’t catching on. The Moment of The Day has Gio agasp as Boomer said, ‘maybe we don’t bring the golf clubs’ to Vegas. In the final segment of the show, our NFL Championship game picks, with Yussef!

The Knicks absolutely blew out the Denver Nuggets last night at the Garden. We talked about Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby’s performance. It’s also NFL Championship weekend and the Ravens may get TE Mark Andrews back.

Hour 1

Jim Harbaugh has been hired to be the head coach of the L.A. Chargers. That’s great news for Chargers fans, however many there are. We also talked about things that could be holding up Bill Belichick becoming the head coach in Atlanta. Boomer compares it to Bill Parcells going to the Jets and why it takes a long time to get things done if it involves the front office. Gio said he would blow everybody out of the front office if that’s what Belichick wanted. Jerry is here for his first update but first we talked about Gio and Jerry both wearing almost the exact same gray hoodie. Nick Sirianni met the media and talked about growing and fresh ideas.

Is John Minko keeping track of all the St. John’s games he’s called, or is St. John’s? We got an answer, it’s John Minko. Gio has a new golf coach and he’s already been given a grip change. Anthony in Bellville is a Chargers fan and asked if he can expect them to be in the Divisional round next year. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Nick Sirianni press conference from yesterday. He wants to grow. Patrick Mahomes talked about going head to head with Lamar Jackson. Weather for Baltimore on Sunday looks like it’s going to pour. Kyle Shanahan gave an update on Deebo Samuel and his shoulder. Kevin Burkhardt was on the Jay Glazer podcast and talked about his prep before the game. Shaun Morash doesn’t know how to pronounce ‘primary’. He also doesn’t know what the name of the President mountain is. John Minko called his 500th St. John’s basketball game. In the final segment of the hour, Tyra Banks was sitting in between two furries at the Knicks/Nets game. Gio had an experience with furries at a hotel once. Boomer segways into the World War II documentary on Netflix. A caller wonders if Boomer remembers his father, a teammate at Maryland. He didn’t. Gio thinks he should have lied. 

Hour 3

A caller said it was a total ‘lie spot’ for Boomer when asked if he remembered that Maryland teammate. We talked about lying to children and when you should and shouldn’t. We went through a list of Maryland players to see if Boomer remembers them or not. Boomer is recalling nicknames that he can’t say on air. Gio said, as a child, your life changes when you realize, ‘there’s a dude in the Goofy costume’. A caller had an experience with furries where he saw them going to the bathroom outside. Jerry returns for an update and we find out that somebody added Larry Abraham to the Wikipedia page for the 1981 Maryland football team. Ochocinco said everybody is naked on social media and there's no need for lingerie anymore. In the final segment of the hour, we took a call on Bill Cowher and furries and Barbie not being nominated for an Oscar.

Hour 4

A Bayport man calls in as he’s in Vegas and doesn’t know what to do there. This 60 year old man has never been to Vegas, finally goes, and doesn’t have a gameplan. Jerry returns for his final update of the day but first we go over the weather for Vegas when we’re there. Not all that warm. Boomer said to Gio, ‘your nipples are gonna be hard’. Jerry has audio of Lamar Jackson talking about the upcoming game against the Chiefs. Travis Kelce said his heart hand gesture wasn’t for Taylor Swift, it was for Bills fans. He was trying to spread love while they were spreading hate. Jared Goff was asked about the Lions not having superstars. Hey Nick Sirianni, what would you say, you do here? Jerry has a Moment of The Day and an Awkward Moment of The Day involving Boomer not lying when he should have. In the final segment of the show, Boomer talked about the story of the Niners going after Tom Brady before this past season. But nobody seemed to mention that the Niners didn’t know what kind of shape Brock Purdy’s arm was in coming off the injury. It still seems to be up in the air whether Deebo Samuel will play Sunday. Gio is envisioning the Niners and Ravens in the Super Bowl. He had a dream of Lamar Jackson at media day.

A caller said it was a total ‘lie spot’ for Boomer when asked if he remembered that Maryland teammate. We talked about lying to children and when you should and shouldn’t.

Hour 1

Gio had a ‘perma-smile’ on his face watching the Knicks beat the Nets at what felt like a Knicks home game in Brooklyn. The Milwaukee Bucks fired their head coach Adrian Griffin, even though they were 30-13. Their defense has not been very good and they wanted a veteran coach so they are bringing in Doc Rivers. We are seeing the best version of Julius Randle right now and it’s all thanks to Jalen Brunson. Gio was invited by the afternoon show to go to last night’s game but his wife is sick so he had to stay home. He would have loved to see the Nets lose while sitting next to Evan Roberts. Jerry is here for his first update and wants the Nets to move someplace where people will care about them. Jerry was disgusted by their performance. Jerry is annoyed by Boomer’s hatred of the Nets. Boomer said if he’s on the air for another 17 years, by then the Nets will be extinct. Jerry has the sound from last night’s battle in Brooklyn. Shannon Sharpe to Ochocinco: ‘that’s why your head looks like shaved monkey nuts’. In the final segment of the hour, Ochocinco used to call Marvin Lewis in the middle of the night just to say ‘I’m open’ and then he would hang up. Gio tells the story of an obese woman who bought 2 seats on the plane and another passenger wanted to put her baby there. 

Hour 2

Sauce Gardner wants Calvin Ridley and Tee Higgins on the Jets. At least that’s what he said on Twitter. I wonder how that will sit with the wide receivers in the locker room. Boomer said it creates unnecessary drama. The Giants need playmakers, and a lot of them. What will the Giants do with their pick at 6? There are rumors that Tyreek Hill filed for divorce after just 76 days. He claims it’s not true, but public records say it is. Boomer wonders if Tyreek is turning into Antonio Brown. Jerry returns for another update and starts with the Knicks beating the Nets in Brooklyn. The Milwaukee Bucks fired their head coach, Adrian Griffin, and Doc Rivers is expected to take over. Stephen A. Smith was on with Howard Stern and he wants to debate Donald Trump. Chris Russo talked about ‘wee wee’s in the middle of the night’. Aaron Boone was on with Evan and Tiki yesterday. He wants Giancarlo Stanton to change his body type. In the final segment of the hour, Gio went through a lot of trouble to be able to do the Lil’ Dicky Show for somebody at Audacy, and it was canceled at the last minute. 

Hour 3

Boomer & Gio have a chalk talk event with Bill Cowher at Teller’s tomorrow night. The town is abuzz with talk of Cowher maybe stopping by the Portly Villager beforehand. A caller wants us to have billboards for the show. Another caller said Lil’ Dicky was at the Lakers game when he was supposed to be talking to Gio. Another caller wants Jeff Van Gundy to coach the Nets. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about Billy Joel releasing a new song on February 1. Billy Joel’s house is for sale for $49 million. We remembered the virtual Boomer & Gio BBQ we gave away during covid. Jerry starts with the Knicks beating the Nets in what felt like a Knicks home game in Brooklyn. The Bucks fired Adrian Griffin and it’s looking like Doc Rivers will replace him. Jerry has clips from the Kelce brothers podcast and Jason’s wife asked him to behave in front of Taylor Swift. John Harbaugh wants the fans to be loud. Is Belichick to the Falcons gaining or losing momentum? In the final segment of the hour, reports are the Chargers are within striking distance of signing Jim Harbaugh. The thing that could be holding up Belichick to the Falcons could be how much of the staff and front office Belichick wants to blow out. 

Hour 4

Last night the Knicks beat the Nets and it felt like a home game for the Knicks in Brooklyn. Gio loves the rivalry now because it’s dominated by the Knicks, after Nets fans got cocky when they got Kevin Durant a few years back. This is always going to be a Knicks town. Has to be 95% Knicks fans and 5% Nets around here. The Knicks have made regular season basketball exciting again. And they’re doing it consistently. We then talked about the times when Gio would go to the NFL draft when it was in NYC. Jerry is here for his final update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Knicks beating the Nets in Brooklyn. Aaron Boone was on with Evan and Tiki and he talked about Giancarlo Stanton’s body composition. He was also asked about Brian Cashman’s rant where he was dropping F-bombs. We also talked about how cool it must be to be Boomer at WFAN. The Moment of The Day involves Stephen A. Smith’s wanting to debate Donald Trump. In the final segment of the show, there’s an odd story out of Kansas City where friends were watching the Chiefs game. Some went outside and died, maybe due to the cold. The guy who lived there was sleeping on his couch for 2 days before realizing his friends were dead outside. We also took a call about Jalen Brunson and the Knicks

Hour 1

Rex Ryan said he wouldn’t be surprised if the Bills fired Sean McDermott and brought in Bill Belichick. This is probably just a hot take by Rex. Boomer would keep McDermott and get some wide receivers for Josh Allen and get back all of the defensive players that got hurt. Allen really likes McDermott, so Boomer said he’s not breaking that up. Sources are saying that Arthur Blank wants Bill Belichick in Atlanta, but the front office doesn’t want him. Boomer wonders why Belichick wouldn’t consider a year off. Maybe the Giants job will be open after next season. Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first Boomer is worried about Jerry because he has a headache. Jerry started with Joel Embiid scoring 70 points last night and Karl Anthony-Towns scoring 62. DeMeco Ryans talked about CJ Stroud’s rookie season. Todd Bowles was asked about not taking a timeout late in the game. Ochocinco does not know how to say ‘cognac’. In the final segment of the hour, Ty Law was on with Dan Patrick and said that before Belichick got to New England, players would drink whiskey out of Mike Vrabel’s flask. ‘There’s some whacky dudes on every team’ according to Boomer. 

Hour 2

Boomer is headed to Baltimore this weekend for a live NFL Today from the AFC Championship game. Boomer said Lamar Jackson is a different guy this year and has enormous confidence. Gio said you have to beat Patrick Mahomes if you are to be taken seriously. The Ravens beat a bunch of winning teams this season. Gio will not go into next football season with any hope for the Giants or Jets. Boomer wonders if the Jets will get a bunch of prime time games again this year. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio said he’s a guest on something tonight with Lil Dicky. Gio said there’s too many famous people these days. Jerry starts with Matt LaFleur saying Tom Rinaldi took a joke about his kicker seriously and now he has to do damage control. We heard the Korean broadcast of the Bills ‘Wide Right part 2’. They sound like Matt Loughlin and Chico Resch on the Devils calls. Joel Embiid scored 70 points last night. In the final segment of the hour, we heard Gio stumble through a call where he found out he was interviewing a boxer and Boomer found a video of Lil Dicky saying he’s a clam or something. We then talked about clams. That’s right, clams. 

Hour 3

People don’t seem to be giving the Lions much of a chance against the Niners, though most of the country will be rooting for them. Jared Goff tends to throw interceptions on the road, which leads to them losing games. Boomer said Brock Purdy has improved as the season went on, but he did not look good in a handful of games including against Baltimore. Gio doesn’t want the Lions to have success because he’s a Vikings fan and they’re in the same division. Evan Roberts doesn’t want the Lions in the Super Bowl because that’s another team that would have gotten over the hump before the Jets. Boomer roots for people, not franchises. He’s rooting for Dan Campbell and Jared Goff. Boomer said Kyle Shanahan is ‘a little swarmy’. Gio thinks he looks like an over the hill skateboard guy and someone who would be friends with Spike. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Dan Campbell screaming about knocking off hot teams. John Harbaugh said he’s not been distracted and won’t be distracted by Taylor Swift. Joel Embiid scored 70 points last night and Karl Anthony-Towns scored 62. In the final segment of the hour, Snoop Dogg said he called Pete Carroll right after he was fired and Pete told him he wanted to coach the Chargers but they didn't want him. Bill Belichick and Kirk Cousins to the Falcons could work. If the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl, could Taylor Swift go from Tokyo to Vegas and then back to Australia for her shows? Boomer said Travis Kelce needs to propose on the postgame show of the Super Bowl if the Chiefs win. 

Hour 4

Rex Ryan said he wouldn’t be surprised if the Bills moved on from Sean McDermott in favor of Bill Belichick. We don’t see that happening. The Bills had a lot of injuries on defense and they do need another wide receiver. Boomer said the Bills have a good thing going and you can’t go to the Super Bowl every season. He needs a number one wide receiver because Stef Diggs isn’t it anymore. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with Joel Embiid scoring 70 points last night and Jerry wonders if it’s more impressive than Wilt’s 100 in his day. Karl Anthony-Towns scored 62 last night as well. Gio heard Marco Balletti on the air and he hasn’t been out to dinner in 25 years and wasn’t aware that lemon could be in a dessert. He also doesn’t like steak. The Penguins scored a goal against themselves. The Moment of The Day involves the Korean broadcast of the Bills missed FG and the Devils radio broadcasters. In the final segment of the show, Boomer and Gio have a ‘chalk talk’ at Tellers on Thursday night with Bill Cowher. They are going to be close to Gio’s house, maybe they all hang out there. Gio said this time of year it’s a petri dish of viruses.

Alex, Chris, and Josh are joined by Caleb Eckel to discuss all things Pittsburgh sports. Caleb reminisces about his earliest memories of being a young fan of the Penguins and Steelers (10:13), and his total disdain for the Pirates and their ownership (13:46). Caleb speaks to the blue-collared and tough culture of the City of Pittsburgh (15:56), and outlines the expectations the fanbase has for their athletes. Caleb then explains the complicated relationship some Steelers fans have with Head Coach Mike Tomlin despite his steady leadership and winning ways (20:09), and spells out why he believes in Kenny Pickett (25:50). Alex asks Caleb about when Matt Murray took the place in the Pens' net of fan favourite Marc-Andre Fleury in 2016-17 (28:31), and then makes the case for Sidney Crosby's greatness being comparable to Mario Lemieux's greatness, while Josh is repulsed by the argument (36:20). As always, the show ends with shout-outs to all the TSPeeps who played an all-time Start-Bench-Cut on social media that focused on the best young NFL quarterbacks (45:00).
