On their latest Rangers podcast, Boomer & C-Lo discuss the Rangers' trades of Chris Kreider & K’Andre Miller and signing of Vlad Gavrikov, the roster overhaul of the last year overall, and a potential Breadman extension - plus, what to expect this coming season under Mike Sullivan!

Hour 1 The Knicks hired Mike Brown as their new head coach, a move many see as lateral from Tom Thibodeau. The press conference is expected to focus on Thibodeau's departure, as the team hasn't addressed it publicly. Brown inherits the strongest Knicks team in recent memory. In MLB news, the Yankees lost to Toronto despite a comeback, while the Mets won with a Brandon Nimmo grand slam. Francisco Lindor, named an All-Star starter, also homered.

The Knicks hired Mike Brown as their new head coach, a move many see as lateral from Tom Thibodeau. The press conference is expected to focus on Thibodeau's departure, as the team hasn't addressed it publicly. Brown inherits the strongest Knicks team in recent memory. In MLB news, the Yankees lost to Toronto despite a comeback, while the Mets won with a Brandon Nimmo grand slam. Francisco Lindor, named an All-Star starter, also homered. Clayton Kershaw achieved his 3,000th strikeout. ESPN's Jeff Passan criticized Yankees fans' complaints.

Gio loves the Fourth of July, enjoying fireworks with Ray Charles' "America The Beautiful." Callers debated Anthony Volpe's performance and Boomer's positivity. Gio shared a personal anecdote about a golf ball incident and an allergic reaction. Later, Jerry provided an update, including Evan Roberts' reaction to the Mike Brown hiring. The Yankees lost to Toronto again, with Aaron Judge discussing their slump. The Mets split their doubleheader, believing a winning streak has begun. Golfer Max Homa is leaving X (formerly Twitter) due to its negativity, calling it a "safe haven for assh***s."

Note: They play music but you won't hear it due to streaming rules. Boomer believes his prom song was "Candle In The Wind," a choice that surprised Gio. A caller celebrated Mike Brown's hiring as Knicks coach. The hosts then discussed high school class and prom songs, with Gio noting Boomer's supportive golf demeanor with one exception. Jerry's update covered the Yankees' loss to Toronto despite a comeback, and the Mets' win against the Brewers, featuring a Brandon Nimmo grand slam and Francisco Lindor's home run and All-Star starter nomination. Clayton Kershaw also achieved his 3,000th strikeout. The segment concluded...

Gio noted several All-Stars, like Pete Crow-Armstrong, with past Mets ties, prompting a caller's anger at David Stearns for their departure. Another caller questioned the Knicks' free agency plans, with Gio suggesting Rich Paul might try to bring LeBron to the Knicks, though Boomer believes they're set. Jerry's final update followed Gio's musings on Zyn pouches and his love for Rum Raisin Haagen-Dazs. The Yankees' comeback fell short against the Brewers due to Devin Williams, while the Mets won game two with a Brandon Nimmo grand slam. The "Moment of The Day" highlighted Gio's golf course allergic reaction. The show...

A caller wonders if the Knicks are done in free agency. Gio said Rich Paul is going to try and get LeBron to the Knicks. Boomer thinks they are set right now.

Jerry starts with the Knicks hiring Mike Brown. The Yankees losing in Toronto again. They came all the way back from down 8-0 to tie it 9-9 and then Devin Williams ruined it. The Mets beat the Brewers in game 2 as Nimmo hit a grand slam and Lindor went back to back with a HR. Lindor talked about being named an All Star starter.

(NOTE: Because of streaming rules you won't hear any music on these segments. Sorry about that.) Boomer thinks his prom song was Elton John’s ‘Candle In The Wind’, which Gio can’t believe as it was a song about Marilyn Monroe dying young.

Gio said he almost got hit by a golfball yesterday and then later in the day he had an allergic reaction to something he ate.

A caller said Boomer is not the ‘silver lining guy’ he claims to be. Tracy in Atlantic Highlands calls in as she wants us to do a show in her living room.

Jerry starts with the Yankees who lost in Toronto again. The Jays went up 7-0 in the first inning, but tied it in the eighth 9-9 on an Aaron Judge HR. Then Devin Williams ruined everything. The Mets won game 2 of their doubleheader with a Brandon Nimmo grand slam. Lindor will be a starter in the all star game and he homered yesterday after getting the news. Clayton Kershaw became the 20th player in history to record 3,000 strikeouts.

The Knicks finally have their next head coach, Mike Brown. This feels like a lateral move from Thibs. Gio does love the experience he brings. There were also rumors going around that the Knicks were interested in bringing Ben Simmons in. The press conference is going to be interesting because nobody from the Knicks addressed why they got rid of Thibs, so all of the questions are going to be about that now. Mike Brown is inheriting the best Knicks team a coach was ever handed.

Hour 1 NBA free agency is buzzing, with the Bucks making moves and the Knicks signing Guerschon Yabusele. The NHL's free agency has been quieter, though the Rangers did pick up Vladislav Gavrikov. On the baseball front, the Yankees lost in Toronto due to defensive errors. The Mets face a doubleheader that will strain their pitching ahead of their series against the Yankees, a matchup that's sure to leave one fanbase fuming given both teams' recent pitching woes.

NBA free agency is buzzing, with the Bucks making moves and the Knicks signing Guerschon Yabusele. The NHL's free agency has been quieter, though the Rangers did pick up Vladislav Gavrikov. On the baseball front, the Yankees lost in Toronto due to defensive errors. The Mets face a doubleheader that will strain their pitching ahead of their series against the Yankees, a matchup that's sure to leave one fanbase fuming given both teams' recent pitching woes. Elsewhere, WNBA player Sophie Cunningham stirred controversy with her post-game actions and comments on league expansion.

A production error led to the wrong Sports Minute being aired, much to Boomer's frustration. Discussions then turned to the puzzling trend of rising NBA salaries and high team valuations, like the Lakers' $10 billion sale, despite years of declining TV ratings. Callers suggested deals with gambling companies might be propping up the league. In other sports news, the Yankees lost in Toronto with more fielding issues, and George Springer hit two homers, including a grand slam. The hour concluded with news that NBA player Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for a potential sports betting scandal, prompting a caller to...

Boomer was annoyed by a production error during the Sports Minute. Discussions continued on Malik Beasley's gambling accusations and the potential for players to fix prop bets. News updates included Red Panda's unicycle fall and George Springer's dominant performance against the Yankees. A caller suggested betting on WNBA "unders" based on players' menstrual cycles. Finally, a Queens driving school was exposed for illegal licenses, prompting a Google search for NYC's gambling revenue allocation, which largely funds public schools.

The Mets and Yankees are struggling as they prepare for their series, with the Mets even lacking a Sunday starter. NBA free agency sees the Knicks' roster seemingly set and LeBron's agent claiming four teams are interested. A man shared his story of leaving his fiancée for an HR colleague. Updates included the Blue Jays beating the Yankees, the Nets introducing draft picks, and Gio predicting a terrible Dolphins season and Mike McDaniel's firing. The "Moment of The Day" featured a Pete Hoffman interview, and the show concluded with a Diamondbacks fan banned for repeated interference and a caller w...

A man calls in with an interesting story of being engaged, meeting a woman in HR that he fell in love with, and then calling off the wedding. He is now married to the HR woman.

Jerry plays ‘What’s that sound?’ Colin Cowherd said, ‘the Knicks are weird’. A caller said there’s a site that tracks WNBA players’ ‘time of the month’ and suggests you bet the under on their points.

We continued talking and taking calls on Malik Beasley’s gambling accusations and the effect on fans if they know guys are throwing games. A caller said you can fix your own prop bets as a player, and still win the game so what’s the big deal.

Jerry has the sounds of Pete Hoffman, the host of WFAN daily’s podcast, interviewing a professional women’s hockey player. He thinks it comes across as flirtatious. The Yankees lost in Toronto and had another catcher’s interference. Springer hit 2 home runs, including a grand slam. So we have more from that including post game explanations.

NBA TV ratings have been bad for years, so how are the salaries still going crazy? The league seems to be on the decline, and the Lakers were just sold for $10 billion. How is that happening? A caller thinks the deals with the gambling companies are keeping the NBA alive.

Jerry starts with the Yankees losing in Toronto on Canada Day. They had problems in the field again, at third base and another catcher’s interference. Aaron Judge had another 3 walks yesterday. The Mets have a doubleheader today which is going to screw up their rotation and they seemingly have nobody to pitch against the Yankees.

NBA free agency is buzzing, with the Bucks making moves and the Knicks signing Guerschon Yabusele. The NHL's free agency has been quieter, though the Rangers did pick up Vladislav Gavrikov.

Hour 1 The show kicked off discussing recent NBA free agency moves, particularly LeBron James' situation with the Lakers and potential trade to the Knicks, while noting the Knicks are currently without a coach. Jerry's update included "Boomstradamus" predicting Trent Grisham's hamstring injury for the Yankees, who lost to Toronto, with Anthony Volpe addressing his ill-advised throws. The Nets acquired a 2032 draft pick in a trade, and Netflix released a trailer for a Jerry Jones/Cowboys documentary. The hour concluded with Gio recounting losing power in a recent storm, forcing his family and dogs into one bed, and a discussion about...

Both the Mets and Yankees experienced a "June swoon" leading up to July 1st, with the Mets particularly needing to snap out of their slump. The conversation then meandered to a debate about famous Canadians, with Gio advocating for Celine Dion and Boomer for Wayne Gretzky, even including a bizarre caller claim about Dion. Other topics included the importance of the NFL quarterback position, a Yankees loss in Toronto, NBA free agency moves, a Jerry Jones/Cowboys docuseries trailer, and the details behind Daniel Jones' massive deal with the Giants. The hour concluded with a discussion about a girl falling...

Arch Manning studied two QBs this offseason. Discussion yesterday about Daboll potentially being replaced by Tomlin if Giants or Steelers struggle. Talked about NIL ruining college sports. Jerry reported Yankees lost, Grisham injured, Abreu hit two HRs. NBA free agency moves. Shane Battier discussed his career and retirement. Pegula lost at Wimbledon. Russell Wilson wished WFAN a happy 38th birthday, which Gio found fake. Boomer discussed MLB All-Star game and NHL contracts.

NBA free agency is underway, and the Knicks still lack a coach. Boomer notes a league-wide dislike for the Knicks. Gio believes LeBron joining the Knicks with Mike Brown as coach would excite fans. Jerry delivers his final update, preceded by Gio's golf dilemma: walk or cart, especially against a larger opponent. The Moment of The Day involved Celine Dion. The show's final segment celebrated WFAN's 38th birthday, with Boomer recalling early sports talk shows like Bob Trumpy's on WLW.

Gio thinks if LeBron came to the Knicks, with Mike Brown as the coach, fans would be into it. Dan from Carteret also calls in to talk about something else.

Shane Battier talked about the most humiliating part of his NBA career and the pressure of retiring and no longer having purpose.

We talked about college sports and how NIL is going to ruin everything.

Daniel Jones’ agent was on a podcast and talked us through how they got that huge deal from the Giants.

We talked about famous Canadians, but none are more famous than Celine Dion. A caller said Celine is ‘one of these celebrities that drinks the blood of children’.

Boomstradamus is back at it as he said Trent Grisham was the next Yankee to get injured and last night he left the game with a hamstring injury. We heard the sounds of the Yankees losing in Toronto. Anthony Volpe had 2 ill advised throws and he talked about them after the game.

We started with NBA free agency and the moves that were made yesterday, and also LeBron’s situation with the Lakers and whether he wants to be traded. And if he is traded, will he land with the Knicks? His former coach Mike Brown came in for a second interview in New York. The NBA is actually in free agency right now and the Knicks don’t have a coach, which has never happened before.
