23 Mar 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What confusion does Joe Benigno express about 'the herd' and 'free thinkers'?

0.031 - 17.573 Boomer Esiason

I want to take you to, if I can find it here, the Saturday morning show, the Joe B. Saturday morning show on the fan. Oh, God, here we go. This one's right up your alley as this was the intro to one of his, I think this was like 525 in the morning. It was early. Caller Weiss. Weiss in Bayonne is on the fan.

0

17.613 - 18.314 Gio

Weiss, how are you?

0

19.115 - 32.473 Joe Benigno

I want to share something honest with you. Okay. Independent thinkers like you, Joe, are seen as a threat in the mass media. And in the real world. Let's call it what it is.

0

32.834 - 38.042 Unknown

Okay. This radio station hasn't been the same since Richard Neer left on Saturday. Honestly.

0

Chapter 2: What odd noise did Boomer make during the show?

38.062 - 40.667 Boomer Esiason

All right, so that's the beginning. Now Weiss starts to explain.

0

41.388 - 46.096 Joe Benigno

The herd. Don't like freethinkers. Who doesn't like freethinkers now?

0

46.176 - 46.857 Gio

The herd?

0

47.278 - 48.24 Joe Benigno

Yes, the herd.

0

48.26 - 57.047 Gio

The herd? Let me talk. I don't even know what the herd is. What is the herd? I mean, free thinker? He's not even a thinker.

59.611 - 62.335 Boomer Esiason

So then Weiss tries to teach it to him.

62.495 - 72.169 Joe Benigno

The Herds are the mass media and the real world. They don't like free thinkers. That might be 95% of the population, Joe.

72.189 - 84.862 Gio

You think so? We're getting very deep here. So you feel that 95% of the population is free thinkers? Is that what you're saying? No. No.

85.022 - 87.927 Boomer Esiason

Never mind. You dumbass.

Chapter 3: How does Weiss define 'the herd' in the media?

87.947 - 97.922 Boomer Esiason

This sounded like Eddie and Boomer with the DJ. No. So then, if Joe wasn't confused there.

0

98.203 - 107.237 Gio

You're telling me 95% of the population in this country is not a free thinker? Is that what you're saying? No. I didn't say that.

0
0

107.457 - 110.001 Boomer Esiason

Joe takes another shot at trying to understand.

0

110.021 - 125.446 Gio

I don't want to get political here, but you feel that 95% of the population are not freethinkers. That's what you're saying. They just kind of go along with the flow, right? Is that what you're trying to say? No.

126.147 - 127.93 Joe Benigno

No, he's talking about family.

130.087 - 145.96 Boomer Esiason

This last clip, he explains it to, you know when like your kid, you tell your kid to do something and they just yes you and then you ask them, what did I just say? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They don't know. So Weiss explains it one more time and then challenges Joe like he's his kid.

145.98 - 150.584 Joe Benigno

95% of people don't like people who are freethinkers.

150.604 - 156.75 Gio

Right, that's what I said. Okay. You're not listening, Joe. I get that. Now I understand. Now I get it. I get it. Okay. You get it now?

Chapter 4: What percentage of the population does Weiss claim are not free thinkers?

157.39 - 159.672 Gio

What did I say, Joe? Did you hear what I said?

0

160.445 - 171.864 Unknown

Oh, my God. This is a guy who criticized the radio station. This is what he meant by golden era. Say that again.

0

171.904 - 180.898 Boomer Esiason

God. It was funny. Balloon head. Oh, man. It took a while to get through that.

0

180.938 - 221.888 Unknown

By the way, how did this guy... Assess Joe Beningo and come away that he was a free thinker. I have no idea. What does he think? Joe's like Aristotle? Nobody says dumber things, more rudimentary things than Joe Beningo. My penis looked bigger. I mean, it really is. This guy was trying to give Joe a compliment about his brain that he could not comprehend.

0

222.95 - 266.001 Unknown

I mean, the irony in that is just spectacular. Oh, my gosh. What is a herd? I don't know what a herd is. Oh, God. I mean, he should know because he lives with like 15 cats. And stuffed animals. He's got a herd of cats. I mean, if you walked into his house and didn't know that Joe lived there, you would definitely call the cops. 15 cats and 37,000 stuffed animals. It reeks of weed.

276.359 - 283.711 Boomer Esiason

All right, so that's going to be moment of the day, which will allow me to do this then. Identify this noise and why.

283.731 - 290.321 Unknown

That sounds like me. Yeah, it sounds real. It's got to be me.

290.822 - 301.178 Boomer Esiason

So that was after you did your thing with BT. Yeah. You had the transition to the Cam Scadaboo story.

302.02 - 304.223 Unknown

Cam Scadaboo doesn't believe CTE is real.

Chapter 5: How does Joe react to Weiss's explanation of free thinkers?

311.527 - 366.479 Unknown

I couldn't believe he went to that transition. Oh, God. Yes, exactly. Got me off guard. That's my off-guard sound. I can tell. Jesus. All right, Eddie, can you embarrass me anymore? Oh, God. I hadn't heard that other one in a long time. The goal horn. That is amazing. That's the thing. When you catch me off guard like that, that's my thing. That's my automatic reaction. It's so ridiculous.

0

366.96 - 373.749 Boomer Esiason

What is more non-human of a sound? Would it be the goal horn? I'll always come back to the owl.

0

376.033 - 377.314 Unknown

We all have our own sounds.

0

377.595 - 378.776 Boomer Esiason

But they don't sound human.

0

379.297 - 380.779 Unknown

Well, you don't sound human sometimes.

380.799 - 385.105 Boomer Esiason

I didn't say I did. Okay. You sound like you're letting the air out of a balloon.

389.812 - 389.932

Right.

389.952 - 398.721 Unknown

It's so ridiculous. It is funny. That's the thing, like, It's just a natural reaction to something genuine.

Chapter 6: What humorous moments arise from Joe's confusion about the herd?

398.841 - 406.266 Unknown

For sure, you can't try to make that sound. Right. So when he says something that is completely going to floor me, that's what it's going to sound like.

0

407.967 - 427.425 Boomer Esiason

Another one today. Yes. Knicks beat the Wizards 145-113. Carl Anthony counts at 26 points and 16 rebounds. So his dad's in the hospital and dealing with some stuff. So he was, I don't want to say emotional, but he was really pissed off that he missed those two free throws against the Nets down the stretch in the whole post-game interview.

0

427.465 - 438.775 Boomer Esiason

I guess he hadn't been around the team for a couple of days. Supposedly his dad's still in the hospital, but he played well last night in this win at the Garden. Jalen Brunson at 23. 16 for Josh Hart. what his team did.

0

438.975 - 459.385 Unknown

I think we just continued to play our style. We had some lapses defensively, but for the most part, we were able to get stops and kind of just play our game. So that's the 47th. I will say this. If they can get to the number two seed, that would be a great regular season. If they just don't let the Celtics have it, you go get it.

0

460.005 - 466.054 Unknown

Not that it means much, but I think for the regular season to put a nice little cherry on top, that would be it.

466.135 - 489.378 Boomer Esiason

Yep, 47-25 right now. With that win, a half game behind Boston for that 2C. The Nets lost in Sacramento 126-122. The T-Wolves did beat Boston 102-92. And that was without Anthony Edwards, who did not play in that game. Also of note, you have the spring ending for the Mets. They'll play the Pirates on Thursday in their season opener. Yankees open Wednesday night in San Francisco.

489.438 - 500.312 Boomer Esiason

But they got two games in Arizona on the way there against the Cubs. today and tomorrow. Jets beat the Rangers in a shootout 3-2 and there was not much scoring in the Islander game but all they needed was one.

500.453 - 509.406 Gio

Here's a chance with Horvat hiding into the net. Horvat scores! The first shot of the game is a bullet!

510.601 - 521.936 Boomer Esiason

And that was it. 1-0 was the final score. Ilya Sorokin backed it up with 26 saves. The Isles shut out the Blue Jackets by the score of 1-0. Mentioned Sorokin. Here's the head coach, Patrick Waugh.
