Summary

It's Gio’s delayed return day from a golf trip. We talk about the Jets trading Justin Fields to the Chiefs as part of a "tear down to build up" strategy. The guys debate the World Baseball Classic’s intensity versus the Olympics and the World Series, Jerry’s updates on Team USA’s championship run, Venezuela’s victory over Italy, plus, Jerry Jones’ defensive improvements. Interspersed with sports are Boomer’s upcoming 65th birthday milestones—including Medicare and ideas for a Life Alert endorsement—all while his garlic tablets create a distinct studio aroma. The program concludes with a St. Patrick’s Day discussion on the "Fighting Irish" name, insights from Rick Pitino, and Gio’s search for the most famous Irish person.

Yeah. I was always I got back and I was supposed to take Monday off. And then I saw all the warnings and everything else.

I was waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting in the Orlando airport. As other people were bailing and saying, screw it, I'm just going to fly out tomorrow. I was hoping that there was a chance. Even if I landed, I'd pull the Jerry Reco where I would, you know, land at 4 o'clock and then be on the air at 6 o'clock, whatever it was.
