Hour 1
The Mets and Yankees had another frustrating night with losses. Boomer and Gio discussed the Mets' inconsistent performance, comparing them to the Knicks. Aaron Judge returns to the Yankees lineup as a DH, keeping Giancarlo Stanton out. Jerry's update included Yankees' loss to Texas, with key homers from Devin Williams and Josh Young. Max Fried struggled, and Brett Baty made a crucial error for the Mets. Aaron Glenn discussed game week prep. Jerry played a clip of "Dan in Warwick" asking about the NY and SF Giants, followed by a video of Eli Manning meeting the SF Giants and Mike Francesa, which Sal then tried to replicate with Dan in Warwick, but it was a dud.
Hour 2
Joe Flacco is the Browns' new starting QB, with five QBs on the roster. The Giants have four QBs, with Russell Wilson clearly the starter; we discussed our interview with him at Giants camp, where Gio thought he was flattering Boomer. Dexter Lawrence requested only waist-up photos. We also discussed household robots. A caller noted our podcast is labeled 'explicit'. Jerry's update covered the Mets' loss to the Guardians despite Pete Alonso's HR and 4 RBIs, and Brett Bady's error. Kyle Schwarber hit his 40th HR. The Yankees lost to Texas with Pederson and Josh Young homering. Max Fried felt he didn't help his team enough. Cam Ward likes to relax at home. Mike McDaniel joked, "we’re another day closer to death." In the final segment, a caller wanted Mike Francesa to replace Aaron Boone, leading Gio to imagine Francesa making a pitching change.
Hour 3
We discussed NFL teams with the worst Super Bowl odds, including the Jets and Giants at 75-to-1 for their conference. Boomer noted a team often goes from last to first in their division, citing the Bears with Ben Johnson as a possibility. We emphasized the importance of a dynamic quarterback like Josh Allen for the Bills. The Jets and Giants' over/under for wins is 5 ½. Justin Fields faces a new offense, requiring a learning curve. Boomer predicts the Giants will win at least 6 games, expecting a strong defensive performance. Jerry provided an update after we talked about our Pebble Beach trip. The Yankees lost to Texas, with Devin Williams giving up a tying HR and Jake Bird the winning HR. The Mets lost to the Guardians due to Brett Baty's throwing error on a bunt.
