    Boomer & Gio Podcast (WHOLE SHOW)

    Boomer & Gio Podcast (WHOLE SHOW)

    Hour 1

    Gio said the Giants are going to repeat history again in this draft. They are going to take JJ McCarthy in the draft the same way they did with Daniel Jones. Gio said he will be next up on the ‘hamster wheel of turds’. Boomer likes McCarthy and said he’s been a winner since high school. Gio said he’s the type of QB the Giants love for some reason. He called McCarthy, ‘John Mara’s pin-up girl’. Gio also thinks Mara is talking to Bill Belichick about his thoughts on McCarthy. Then when Belichick takes over for Brian Daboll, he will have the QB he wants in McCarthy. Belichick was at a cheerleading competition on Saturday in Maryland and we have no idea why he was there. C-Lo is in for Jerry and is here for his first update and starts with some Yankees spring training and Carlos Rodon’s pitching troubles. Sal Licata already has Juan Soto going to the Mets and it’s only early March. Gio saw Evan Roberts in person yesterday and he asked to come on the show to promote his book. The Rangers acquired Alex Wennberg from the Seattle Kraken. In the final segment of the hour, two dismembered bodies were found in Babylon. Four people were arrested for this and are out on the streets thanks to bail reform. And now we’re putting the National Guard down in the subway. 

    Hour 2

    There were a few NHL trades yesterday including the Rangers acquiring Alex Wennberg from the Kraken. Boomer breaks it down. We then took calls on the bail reform disaster that is NYC and NY state. C-Lo returns for an update but first Gio said there’s one guy on Twitter that really loves C-Lo and always tweets about him. C-Lo starts with Carlos Rodon having a not so great outing in spring training. Diana Russini was on Pardon My Take and she said Jets fans are in denial and blame her instead of the Jets. She said, ‘it’s a mess in New York, it’s really bad’. Aaron Rodgers was also on a podcast and really wants the punter and kicker back. Alrighty then. C-Lo has audio from the Kelce brothers podcast and there was almost more crying. Travis also talked about going to Australia to meet up with Taylor Swift. If Swift and Kelce break up, it better be her fault or he is finished with the public. In the final segment of the hour, there are multiple people who went to the Dolphins/Chiefs game who now have to have their fingers and toes amputated due to frostbite. We also talked about the NFL game that’s going to be played in Brazil. 

    Hour 3

    What have the Mets done this offseason that should excite Mets fans? The Mets led with the hiring of David Stearns. We also talked about the various proposals for what they’re going to put around Citi-Field. Gio called it ‘clash of the billionaires’. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with a poll from the afternoon show asking who had a better NFL career, Boomer or Tiki? The midday show also discussed it and BT said he would have loved to play with Boomer but Tiki was the better player. Sal picked Boomer since he won an MVP. In the final segment of the hour, Derek Jeter will be producing two shows for the History Channel that have nothing to do with baseball. 

    Hour 4

    We talked about NFL free agency including Russell Wilson and Saquon Barkley. If you’re Saquon, who are you picking? Gio said he would pick the Houston Texans. Good Morning Football on NFL Network is moving from NY to L.A. for the 2024 season. C-Lo returns for an update but first we found out Spike is down in Clearwater, Florida, doing spring training Philly shows for WIP. And he’s trying to hide it from us. Shaq was doing a podcast with Cam Newton and talked about media guys that never played who criticize, like Mad Dog. The great George Brett wants a locker room urinal from Royals stadium for his house. He wanted one from the Yankee stadium locker room. The Moment of The Day involves our search for a new Program Director at WFAN. In the final segment of the show, Jake Paul is fighting Mike Tyson live on Netflix in July. Gio hopes it’s real unlike Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather.

    Team Deep Dive #12 - Kansas City Royals - Ep. 415

    Met fans like us are still smarting from the 2015 loss in the World Series to those overachieving Royals.  Entering the AL as one of 2 expansion teams in the league in 1969 (the Seattle Pilots now Milwaukee Brewers was the other), the Royals got good fast with a winning record only 4 years after their birth and reaching the AL playoffs multiple times in their first 10 years. 

    Winning the 1985 World Series was also a glorious time for the Royals. But they've been bad more than they've been good and the present team is no exception. We talk about the best players in franchise history although their number one player is universally acknowledged as being HOFer George Brett.

    We've added a YouTube Channel and are still working out a few kinks so bear with us.  Here is the link to the Almost Cooperstown channel.

    Denny Matthews on CONFIDENCE and how it's looked in the history of the Royals, Ep. 82

    Denny Matthews on CONFIDENCE and how it's looked in the history of the Royals, Ep. 82

    Denny Matthews has been the one consistent radio voice with the Kansas City Royals since their first year, 1969. 

    For his first few years in the booth, Matthews, who grew up in central Illinois, worked with the legendary Buddy Blattner.

    When Blattner retired in 1974, Matthews became the "voice" of the Royals and has been the Royals' top broadcaster ever since. From 1974 through the 1998 season – a stretch that includes some of the best seasons in the Royals' history – Matthews teamed with Fred White. During their 25 seasons together, "Denny and Fred" became one of the most beloved broadcasting duos in Major League Baseball.

    In 1999, the Royals fired White and replaced him with Ryan Lefebvre. Despite a tremendous age difference, Denny and Ryan integrated their styles well and became popular with Royals fans.

    The Royals inducted Matthews into the Royals Hall of Fame in 2004. He was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in 2005, and then he was presented with the Ford C. Frick Award by the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007.

    This chat with Denny, who has become a major supporter of students and families in crisis through C You In The Major Leagues, was recorded on Wednesday, March 9, 2022, at Music Theater Heritage in front of our C-10 Mentoring & Leadership students and mentors.

    The C word with our C-10 students and mentors was CONFIDENCE, which, in the C You In The Major Leagues vernacular means someone who accepts constructive criticism, will try something new, has a positive attitude, and views self as a winner.

    This interview with Denny focuses largely on that word Confidence and how it pertains to managers and players Denny has been around since 1969. Frankly, we do not do a dive into a lot of anecdotes from Denny’s career. This is likely a side of Denny that you have not heard before.

    We lead things off with some pregame batting practice.
