1/21/21 - Hour 1 - Brooklyn's 'Big 3' Debuts With A Loss, Defensive Issues, Basketball Fans, An Update, The Saints, Somers And More

Marker 01

Long Form (multi topic, hourly/full show)

Hour 1

It’s a feel good Friday with the Knicks moving on after finishing off the Sixers in Philadelphia. Next up, the Indiana Pacers. Boomer said it’s going to be a completely different situation. The Pacers are run and gun and don’t have a guy like Joel Embiid. The Knicks should have a huge advantage in rebounds and defense. Gio was right yesterday when he was confident that Josh Hart would have a big game. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the Josh Hart 3 with 25 seconds to go. Hart talked about that 3 point shot. Jaylen Brunson talked about the heart of the team. Patrick Beverly had an odd exchange with a reporter on if she subscribes to his podcast or not. He was being douchey. Gio called it ‘unsavory behavior’ by him. The Mets beat the Cubs as Francisco Lindor had a walk-off double. The Mets said Lindor had ‘flu-like symptoms’, but Gio thinks he just had to poop. Are the Steelers really considering Justin Fields as a return man? In the final segment of the hour, everything Evan Roberts wanted for the Nets is now happening for the Knicks. 

Hour 2

Gio thinks the rotation is going to look different in the next series for the Knicks as they face the Pacers. The Knicks are going to have to defend the 3-point line. We were at the same point here last year against the Heat. Boomer thinks this series is going seven games. The line is 5 ½ games. The Knicks have 3 days to completely recharge. Jerry returns for an update, but first Boomer took his staff for a walk on the Highline. Jerry has all the sound from last night’s Knicks win in Philadelphia. Shaq predicted the Sixers would blow out the Knicks. Charles Barkley declared the game over at the half, in favor of the Sixers. He then called Brunson one of the great free agent signings of all time. The Mets beat the Cubs and Starling Marte threw out 2 dudes at the plate. A caller went to White Eagle Hall at 7am thinking that’s when the show started. It starts at 7pm, tonight. In the final segment of the hour, it’s looking like Sunday night for the start of the Rangers/Hurricanes series. 

Hour 3

The start times for Knicks/Pacers are more reasonable, with the latest game starting at 8pm. Patrick Beverly was being douchey to a reporter after the game because she doesn’t subscribe to his podcast. He also threw a basketball at a fan. A caller is impressed at how understated Gio’s celebration of Josh Hart’s 3 was, calling it ‘Barry Sanders like’. Boomer said of the Knicks, ‘winning is the deodorant of champions’. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio was checking out The Zoo Yorker, Big Zoo’s podcast. Jerry has audio of Sal Licata going off on a caller. Gio said Sal is the opposite of what a monk would be. Jalen Brunson was a guest on TNT after the game. Thibs called it a terrific team win. Jonathan Papelbon went off on Stephen A. Smith’s take on the Mike Trout injury news. In the final segment of the hour, Gio is going to SNL tomorrow to see Dua Lipa host and perform. 

Hour 4

This is a feel good Friday with the Knicks moving on after beating the Sixers and Boomer & Gio Live tonight in Jersey City. A caller said ‘it’s a weird feeling’ to see the Knicks actually winning and not letting us down. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with the sweet sounds of last night’s Knicks win in Philadelphia. Josh Hart talked about his go ahead 3 with 25 seconds to go. We talked about movie theater candy for a moment. Jerry thinks the Knicks could sweep this series. The sportsbooks think Knicks in five. Patrick Beverly was douchey to a reporter because she doesn’t subscribe to his podcast. In the final segment of the show, we have picks for this weekend’s Kentucky Derby.
