    Boomer & Gio Podcast (WHOLE SHOW)
    Hour 1 Today's show features Gio & Jerry filling in for Boomer. They discussed Aaron Rodgers' Pat McAfee Show appearance, where he detailed a brief, tense meeting with Jets coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey, feeling Glenn was "rogue." Rodgers praised Brian Daboll. C-Lo then provided updates, first on his hiccups, and then audio of Rodgers discussing Glenn. In baseball news, Ben Rice went 4-for-4, Dave Sims called the game, Jazz Chisholm was ejected for arguing balls and strikes, and Aaron Boone disliked his dugout view in Tampa. The Mets beat the Cardinals with Mark Vientos hitting his first home run. Sam Rosen made his final career call for the Rangers. Finally, Kadarius Toney announced his NFL retirement to become a rapper. Hour 2 The Knicks-Pistons series starts tomorrow. Gio, who found the Knicks' regular season boring due to their dominance, predicts a Knicks win in six but questions their ability to compete with the Celtics, especially considering the Pistons' physicality. Fan engagement is high, particularly regarding Karl-Anthony Towns. A caller wonders if the city's excitement will be lower without the Rangers in the playoffs. Another believes Aaron Rodgers intentionally embarrassed the Jets. Later, after a discussion about martinis, audio of Rodgers' negative meeting with the Jets aired. In baseball, the Yankees beat the Rays (Jazz Chisholm ejected), and the Mets beat the Cardinals. Last night was Sam Rosen's final Rangers game. The hour ended with Gio questioning the Easter Bunny's association with eggs and the quality of his gifts compared to Santa, also sharing his dislike for jelly beans. Hour 3 Mark Vientos hit his first home run. Sal Licata's criticism of Juan Soto sparked debate, with Gio questioning why early-season criticism equates to "hating," especially given Soto's high salary implying less room for failure. Despite Soto's performance not meeting expectations, the Mets are winning, thanks to Alonso and strong pitching. The Mets plan to play Jeff McNeil in center field, a move Gio doesn't understand, and Jerry views McNeil's energy negatively. Baseball updates included Ben Rice's 4-for-4 game, Jazz Chisholm's ejection, and Aaron Boone's comments on the Rays changing dirt. The Mets also beat the Cardinals. Audio of Sal Licata's harsh criticism of Soto aired. The Knicks-Pistons series starts tomorrow. The hour concluded with a discussion about golfer Billy Horschel signing a woman's welt, Gio's confusion over women wanting boob autographs from celebrities, and an uncomfortable interview experience with former player John Randle due to differing opinions on his playing style. Hour 4 Last night marked the end of Sam Rosen's 40-year career calling Rangers games, and Lee Corso is retiring from College Gameday. Gio speculated about Howie Rose's potential retirement and noted Gary Cohen looks younger than his age (and younger than Boomer). They pondered if Boomer would continue working until 70. Gio mentioned a possible deceased person sighting, while Jerry recounted a gunpoint robbery dream (which Gio experiences often). The topic of aggressive geese arose, with Al advising against harming them due to their protected status, even during an attack. Later, Gio questioned "GROK" about having a non-sports-fan producer, and Jerry asked ChatGPT about his dreams. More audio of Aaron Rodgers' negative experience with the Jets aired. Adam Schefter was pranked at the Masters with a fake NFL trade report (since phones weren't allowed). Deion Sanders claimed he never did ‘that’ to himself. The Moment of the Day highlighted Gio's Eddie impression regarding Al & Jerry's low YouTube views. The show concluded with a discussion about baseball players' competitive pickleball games.
