Boomer & Gio Podcast (WHOLE SHOW)
Hour 1
We are finally back in NYC after our Super Bowl trip to Vegas. Steve Cohen declared it baseball season, but Gio said the Mets haven’t done anything to make it feel like baseball season. With the Knicks doing well and the local hockey teams playing well, it is not baseball season at all around here. The Super Bowl ratings came out and CBS had over 123 million viewers. Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first we talked about the NHL Stadium Series jerseys they sent us. Jerry starts with the controversial ending in the Knicks loss last night. Jalen Brunson was called on a foul that wasn’t a foul. Boomer wonders why people keep asking David Stearns about the Pete Alonso contract. Evan Roberts’ beard looks really awful now. He looks like the Geico caveman. In the final segment of the hour, people were mad at the Jets for releasing their new, old, uniforms right after the Super Bowl ended. No matter what the Jets do, people criticize them. Boomer thinks the Broncos may be getting new uniforms. Throwback jerseys almost always look better than the current jerseys the teams are wearing. The NBA has so many alternate jerseys it hard to know who’s playing without a score bug.
Hour 2
Gio and Eddie had a corn dog before the Super Bowl. They also watched people eating chili out of a Fritos bag. Gio said that being at the game, you don’t realize all the things people are mad at while watching the game on TV. People didn’t like Usher getting too close to Alicia Keys. People also didn’t like Ice Spice wearing an upside down cross and then making horn gestures with her hands. People thought she was sending satanic messages. Taylor Swift was only on camera for 54 seconds of a 4 hour and 8 minute Super Bowl. Gio doesn’t think Taylor Swift will go to the Chiefs parade. Gio said people were also upset that Tony Romo was talking too much on the final TD play. Jerry is here for another update but first Boomer thinks it’s interesting that the Chiefs have won 2 Super Bowls after losing Tyreek Hill. Jerry has the final TD as called by Jim Nantz and Tony Romo. People were mad that Romo talked too much instead of letting it breathe. Shannon Sharpe and Ochocinco were not happy with comedian Mike Epps insinuating that Sharpe is gay. Sharpe said he is going to roll up on him. The Knicks got screwed last night with a bad foul call on Jalen Brunson. Boomer has had enough of people asking David Stearns about Pete Alonso. In the final segment of the hour, the Alicia Keys performance was edited for the official YouTube video of it. Her voice cracked at the very beginning but it has been taken out. A caller asked if it’s sunk in yet that this is now the slowest time in sports.
Hour 3
The Super Bowl favorites for next year are out and it’s the Niners and Chiefs, of course. The Jets are +3,000 and are tied for tenth. The Giants are tied at second to last at +15,000. Boomer said the Giants are in a really weird spot because of the initial year of success. The Giants are still the third best team in the NFC East. Mitch Trubisky was let go by the Steelers. Boomer said the Jets have to prepare for Aaron Rodgers to get hurt at some point, coming off an achilles injury and playing a 17 game season at 40. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Knicks getting screwed last night on a bad foul call on Jalen Brunson. Totally fugazi. David Stearns said ‘success can be defined in a lot of different ways’. Um, ok. In the final segment of the hour, Gio watched Jerry make eggs in the microwave and wished he was rolling video. A hot egg yolk exploded when Jerry punctured it. We wondered why they don’t have hard rolls in other parts of the country.
Hour 4
Gio is wearing a pair of Timberlands that are over 20 years old. Gio is limping today trying to keep up with Al and Gina running from the Super Bowl to catch a car back to the hotel. A caller wonders why Giants fans would want a 74 year old Bill Belichick if things don’t work out with Brian Daboll. Boomer wonders if Mac Jones could be a backup on the Jets. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Knicks getting screwed on a foul call on Jalen Brunson that clearly wasn’t a foul. Andy Reid talked about the difficulty of going for a three-peat. David Stearns met the media again to talk about the Mets upcoming season. The Moment of the Day involves Gio and Eddie trying to keep up with Al as he ran out of the stadium Sunday. In the final segment of the show, Alyssa Milano was at the Super Bowl a few weeks asking people to donate to her son’s little league trip.
