Boomer & Gio

A’s rookie Joshua Kuroda-Grauer suffered a ruptured testicle after fouling a ball off his nether region while not wearing a cup. Gary Cohen sent him well wishes on the Mets broadcast last night and Gio thinks he only did it because he wanted to say “ruptured testicle” on air.

Gio has no sympathy for Lionel Messi, everyone hates Argentina’s fans, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic delivered a blunt, final TV appearance.

Meanwhile, Ryan Fox won the British Open and Rory McIlroy called out Bryson DeChambeau. Finally, the guys debate a caller’s take on whether the soccer final needed scoring or action.

Gio breaks down Bryson DeChambeau’s penalty, calling it an attempt to gain an advantage rather than blatant cheating. Next, Jerry’s update highlights Ferran Torres’ lone World Cup final goal, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s blunt farewell to TV, Peter Schwartz’s indoor football call, and Rex Ryan being awestruck by Ella Langley.

Boomer wants to know what Cam Skattebo was thinking when he attempted a backflip this weekend and wonders how long he’ll be able to stay in the NFL considering his style of play. We talk about old singers who still perform. Nobody remembers the date of Boomer’s Radio Hall of Fame induction ceremony coming up this fall. Jerry has an international call of the lone goal in the World Cup Final. Analysts were not happy with the game they watched and don’t think it showcased the best of the sport. One announcer was excited to see Dua Lipa at the match. Gio was hoping Dua Lipa was part of the halftime show but we got the Muppets instead.

Gio thinks Tom Brady has jumped the shark and finds a lot of his antics to be goofy and corny.

Jerry starts with the only goal from the World Cup final. Ferran Torres, who scored the goal, is a good-looking young man. Zlatan Ibrahimovic said this is it for him on TV. Gio loved how blunt Ibrahimovic was. Jerry has a clip of Peter Schwartz calling an indoor football TD. David Bednar came into a jam and got out of it before pitching another inning to help the Yankees top the Dodgers. Francisco Lindor had three hits including a homerun in the Mets win over the Phillies. Ryan Fox sank the winning putt of the British open while fans screamed “Baba Booey” behind him.

Boomer is out, so Gio and Jerry are in today, starting with a Mets win over the Phillies that Gio claims means nothing.

The Moment of The Day: All the construction noise in the studio.

Gio said his wife cannot make a decision on going to the beach or not because of the smokey/hazy weather. We talked about women not being able to make a decision and then stick to that decision. This is clearly our Catskills humor segment.
