Summary

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. Clayton Kershaw achieved his 3,000th strikeout. ESPN's Jeff Passan criticized Yankees fans' complaints. Hour 2 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." Hour 3 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 by mentioning Green Day's "Good Riddance" as a common farewell song. Hour 4 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 will be off next week, with Jerry hosting with Willie Colon on Monday and Wednesday. A caller shared his Zyn addiction experience from the golf course.

Friday of the year and we will not be here for 4th of July but July 3rd and things with the

0:30.9

baseball teams could have been totally a disaster. Obviously for the Yankees it's still a very

0:35.3

rough one but the Mets come back in the second leg of the double header and show some offense and show some fight and get a win.

So we'll get into all of that.

The Knicks finally naming Mike Brown the head coach when they fired Tibbs.

0:49.3

Were they thinking Mike Brown?

No, probably not, but they ended up on Mike Brown.

0:54.0

So we will see, as Rick Petino said when when he was on with BT and Sal, whoever got this job was going to have the most pressure on him than any Knicks coach in his lifetime since he's been a Knicks fan as a kid. And that's exactly what it is. And oh, by the way, when you go through a draft and you go through a free agency and your choice number seven, don't you think that rotations and decisions and a lot of that is going to be coming from up top? Mike Brown has got a lot of experience, a lot of respect in the league. I hope this works out. Good morning, Boomer. How are you? Yeah, good morning, Jay. And I was reading this morning one of the writers was talking about how this could be akin to Joe Torrey taking over the Yankees from Buck Showalter. Maybe, maybe not. We'll have to see. But it's a safe pick. It's not a pick that is wrought in controversy by any stress of imagination. Other than the fact that we still don't know why they fired Tom Thibodeau. They've been building the roster.

They have a much better bench it looks like right now,

considering that they added two valuable pieces that are going to come off the bench.

Pressure is a privilege in this case because he doesn't have a bad team.

2:06.3

He has a good team that he's inheriting that went all the way to the Eastern Conference
