NYC Congestion Pricing Complaints

Marker 01

Long Form (multi topic, hourly/full show)

Hour 1

The Knicks beat the Pacers to take a 2-0 series lead but the Knicks did suffer some injuries. Jalen Brunson left with an ankle injury but did return and played great. OG Anunoby left with a hamstring injury and did not return. The problem is we really didn’t get a lot of details on Brunson’s injury. Brunson also got hit in the nuts during the game. We don’t expect to see OG tomorrow night. Rick Carlisle seemed to be blaming the refs for the loss. Jerry is here for his first update and has all the sounds from last night’s Knicks win at MSG. We heard from Rick Carlisle complaining about the refs but the players won’t say that. Gilbert Arenas can’t believe Rudy Gobert didn’t play in a playoff game because he had a baby. The Yankees beat the Astros again as Giancarlo Stanton hit a 120 mph HR. Juan Soto and Aaron Judge also homered. In the final segment of the hour, we talked more about the Knicks injuries to Brunson and Anunoby. The Brunson injury does not seem serious and should be good to go for tomorrow. If he would have left in a boot, that would be a different story. 

Hour 2

Kickoff to Summer is Friday, May 24 at D’Jais. Gio said there seems to be some loose ends on Boomer’s end in regards to golf and dinner the day before. We got back into the Knicks win over the Pacers and Jalen Brunson coming back from an injury. The Garden crowd chanted ‘F*** you Reggie’, and Josh Hart went over to him to make sure he heard it. A caller thinks maybe Brunson’s injury is to his testicle since he was hit there. Jerry returns for an update and starts with all the sound from the Knicks win in game 2. Charles Barkley would love to see the Knicks ‘ass get stomped by the Celtics’. Barkley doesn’t care for NY but loves the ‘street meat’. The Yankees beat the Astros as Judge, Soto and Stanton homered. In the final segment of the hour, a caller wonders if Boomer is nervous for tonight’s Rangers game. 

Hour 3

What are the expectations tonight for the Rangers? Boomer doesn’t want to see 57 shots on goal again. Boomer said sometimes it’s better for a team to go on the road. There’s one particular official Boomer doesn’t want on the ice tonight. Jerry returns for an update and starts with all the sounds from last night’s Knicks win in game 2. Josh Hart loves playing 48 minutes a game and doesn’t want to change that. Hart also wanted to make sure Reggie Miller heard the crowd chanting at him. Jerry has audio of Chris Russo not liking the Roast of Tom Brady and not being able to pronounce ‘Jiu-Jitsu’. The Yankees beat the Astros again behind HRs by Soto, Stanton and Judge. In the final segment of the hour, Rick Carlisle counted 29 mistakes the refs made in game 1. He’s also whining about the refs in game 2. 

Hour 4

Boomer expects a physical game tonight between the Rangers and Hurricanes and thinks Matt Rempe will be in there. We took calls from people who seem very happy to be NY sports fans right now with the Knicks, Rangers and Yankees all rolling. We then somehow got into talking about a ‘man kiss’, when men kiss each other hello on the cheek. Jerry returns for an update and starts with all the sounds from last night’s Knicks win over the Pacers in game 2. Rick Carlisle continues to whine about the officials. Shaq has responded to comments from his ex-wife. She just wrote a book about their marriage that failed. The Yankees beat the Astros as Stanton, Judge and Soto all homered. The Moment of The Day involves Chris Russo not knowing how to pronounce ‘Jiu-Jitsu’. In the final segment of the show, Stephen Waldron from CBS Sports Network pops in studio to talk about his nervous energy and nervous cough.
