Gordon's final update of the day starts with how bad the Dodgers have been in their last twelve games. The Yankees lost to the Braves even though Cam Schlitter had a great outing. Some fans are complaining that the new Bills stadium doesn’t have troughs to urinate in. The Moment of The Day: Springing my nub on people.
After Steve Cohen said David Stearns is coming back after this year, the talk shifts to whether he'd trade Francisco Lindor.
I mean, honestly, it's kind of an obsession.

We spend most of the start of the hour talking about LeBron James and where he might end up and who'd want him there. C-Lo pops in to give us some Boone audio regarding Yanks.

C-Lo's got some quotes from Aaron Boone about the slumping Yanks. Boomer takes potshots at the intern. And we end with Moment of the Day.
LeBron is looking for a place to call home in the NBA. Where might that be? Who'd want him?
Yeah, we know that New York baseball is in a doldrum right now with the Mets in the dumper and Yankees lollipopping their way through games. Hey, we gotta talk about it and be pissed off.
Specifically, an old MNF Bengals-Steelers game with QB Boomer Esiason. It was an exciting game full of great plays which Boomer breaks down for Jerry and us.
C-Lo starts with the Yanks and they just don't look good at all. Boomer somewhat blames the players' attitudes. We touch on the Mets and whatever with them this year. Finally, England beats World Cup co-host Mexico and the Brits are happy.
Boomer's got some ideas about what the Mets should do to at least move forward for the future. Some of the remedies include trading players some might imagine untradeable.

Plus, Craig and Chris sound off on the team seemingly hitting rock bottom, Morash is officially hitting the panic button on the season, and Tommy Lugauer says the team's wave of injuries has seemingly caught up to them.
Steve Cohen did an extensive interview with the New York Post, and our hosts have A LOT of questions after listening to the owner speak. Boomer and Gio wonder how Cohen could feel concerned about the state of the farm system given the team's investment in that area, while Evan and Morash wrap their heads around the Francisco Lindor/Juan Soto drama that, according to Cohen, is confined to last year. How do we know that for sure? Plus, Craig Carton went off on Cohen and the state of the Mets organization.
The longest-tenured Knick is no more, as Mitchell Robinson has signed with the hated Celtics on a three-year deal. Boomer and Gio sound off on the reality that Mitch was likely never coming back, while Evan Roberts says the move is nothing more than James Dolan's refusal to go into the second apron.

Filling in for Boomer & Gio on a wild pre-July 4th show, Jerry and Gordon kick things off by tackling the reigning champion Knicks freezing out a 41-year-old LeBron James, Jaylen Brown's Twitch meltdown over being shipped to Philly, Uruguay's stranded World Cup squad, and Taylor Swift's upcoming 10-hour MSG "wedding" spectacle. The holiday chaos rolls on as Gordon brands soccer a "terrible first draft," the Yankees bleed without Aaron Judge, and Steve Cohen nukes the Mets' clubhouse, all unfolding alongside a Metallica vs. Beach Boys debate, a sneaky prank caller, Jerry's US history quiz, and C-Lo's headlines. Finally, MLB Network's Robert Flores confirms a explosive Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor feud that puts David Stearns on the ultimate hot seat, capping off a chaotic broadcast where Gordon begs for elite Twitter status and furious callers reject aging superstars to declare New York Jalen Brunson’s town.
Jerry and Gordon are in for Boomer & Gio on this day before July 4th! The reigning world-champion Knicks are leaving a 41-year-old LeBron James out in the cold because New York has zero room for his drama. Meanwhile, Jaylen Brown is crying on Twitch after getting locked out of Boston and shipped to Philly, and World Cup fever turns savage as a humiliated Uruguay squad gets their charter flight canceled - was it out of spite? Also, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are invading Madison Square Garden for a shameless, 10-hour "wedding" spectacle that our hosts are already slamming as an attention-addicted, Netflix-bound money grab!
Gordon does not like soccer at all, branding it a "terrible first draft" of a sport! Meanwhile, the New York baseball scene is in an absolute tabloid freefall: Mets owner Steve Cohen just nuked his own clubhouse by exposing toxic star feuds and a regressed farm system under David Stearns, while the bleeding Yankees are unmasked as lesser without Aaron Judge to save them. Add in a wild clash over Metallica versus the Beach Boys and a sneaky holiday prank caller who catches the hosts completely off-guard, and you’ve got a chaotic hour of radio that proves the holiday weekend drama is already off the rails!
The hour starts with one of Jerry's patented quizzes - this time about US history since, you know, 250 and all that. C-Lo pops in with all the headlines and oddities. But we end the hour talking about the plight of the Mets and David Stearns who has to be on the hottest of seats right now.
MLB Network's Robert Flores blows the lid off the Mets' catastrophic implosion, officially confirming the explosive clubhouse drama between Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor. Meanwhile, Gordon shamelessly begs to join the show’s elite Twitter inner circle—comparing the ultra-exclusive follow list to walking on the moon—before furious callers completely nuke 42-year-old LeBron James and "loser" Kevin Durant. Reigning world-champion Knick fans are officially screaming that they don't need aging superstars glomming onto their glory, proving that the throne in New York belongs to Jalen Brunson alone!
The annual Boone Swoon has reached epic proportions as the Yankees are riding a seven game losing streak, which apparently is something the manager lives for. Christian is back to break down all the losing and Boone’s very interesting week.
