Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. And we're coming to you live from the Villefort Tough Studio. Boomer Esiason, Greg Giannotti. It's Boomer and Geo on the fan. Simulcast across the country on CBS Sports Network. And where we are in the free Odyssey app. Good Friday morning. It is a feel-good Friday. Boomer is serving his suspension for his Olympic comments, so he will not be in today.
I'm kidding! Of course that would never happen. Boomer has scheduled days off, and he's going to be out today and a couple days next week. This is something that he had planned, so that means that Jerry Recco is here. Good morning, Jerry. How are you? Timing in life, Gio. Timing in life, they say, is everything. I'm fine. How are you? Yeah, no, I'm good.
I mean, this is one of those things where yesterday I see these comments from the Dan Levitard producer, and I think, man, like... If Boomer were in, he probably wouldn't say anything about it. But then again, I would kind of disagree with that because I'd want to defend him and I'd want to say something, but I'd take the lead from him because he was...
And then I'm thinking, well, if he's not here, and I think that he wouldn't say anything about it, then what would he want me to do? But then I was like, he would want me to do what I wanted to do, probably. Now, I haven't spoken to him about this at all. I didn't talk to him after the show. Yesterday, he didn't send me an Instagram reel, believe it or not, about something.
So it's not like I consulted him on any of this. And he probably is just going about his business like he normally would. This isn't going to affect him. And there aren't a lot of...
Things that you respond to when people go off like this because you say things like, oh, you know, consider the source of where this is coming from, or maybe people don't know who this guy is, or maybe it's someone on X. I mean, I do know who he is. I have listened to the Levitar show, so I'm not going to just sit here and say, like, I don't know who he is. I'm familiar.
Um, with him and some people go off and they say things and it's whatever, but it was just the inaccuracy of some of the things that he was saying that made me feel like I needed to open with it and kind of refute that stuff. Now, I don't want to sit here and go back and forth and call him a bunch of names too, because I don't think that gets us anywhere.
But what it seemed like to me, and I don't know if you agree or not, but what it seemed like to me was this is a lot of misguided anger. That this guy is very angry politically about things that are going on. Maybe there's people in his life or others that he has stayed silent about.
But then this Boomer thing comes across his plate and he all of a sudden just explodes and all the things that were bubbling up in him about whoever... annoyed with comes out in the direction of it all goes to Boomer. Because a lot of these things that he's saying, he clearly doesn't know Boomer and the show.

Chapter 2: How does Gio address the comments made about Boomer?
Put your name to it. Say what you effing mean. All right. So to Mike Ruiz, I sit next to Boomer five days a week, four hours a day. I wish he would say what he meant less.
I know.
to be honest with you. Yeah. So you don't know what you're talking about. Now, I'm never, ever going to tell boomers, stop doing this, stop doing that, whatever. But there are times where he'll jam politics into conversations that I'm like, that was unnecessary. And taxes. Yeah. And that was unnecessary. And I'm like, now I got to find a way out of it. But that's what he wants to do.
He's earned that ability to say all of these things that he wants with this platform. But to sit here and say that he is on here giving you some sort of coded message because he's afraid to say what he wants and he's a P word is just completely misinformed. It's wrong. Now, I'm not going to say that it's lies because I just don't think he knows the answer.
I don't think he knows and he's lying about it, Michael Ruiz. I think that he's just misguided. He just doesn't have the information. He's just screaming about whatever that he's annoyed about and is putting Boomer in a category that he's not in. So, I mean, that's really, you know, the biggest part about it. You say it with your chest, say what you mean. He does all the time.
There isn't a single time we don't know what he means. You know? And then it's just... If people get so worked up and then you do all these things in your life and then all of a sudden you say one thing and then a guy like this looks at Boomer and starts calling him all these names. I don't need to sit here and rattle off his resume of all the great things that he's done. Everybody can find that.
Everybody knows that. But when you're going to start saying things about somebody like that and just minimizing them and diminishing them and calling them... Wussies with a P and chicken bleep and all of this. Don't you have to stop and consider what the man has done in his life?
And you'd be like, okay, maybe I'm allowed to and can disagree with his take, and I've got a platform to disagree with it. And you can say the reasons why you disagree with it. But then to take it to a level of a man who should be respected and call him those names, that was the thing that put me over to the top of like, I got to say something because this is ridiculous.
And I also don't want to go back and start calling him names. I don't even know much about what his life is. I know I'm on the radio. I'd listen to that show. This is the difference, I think, between me listening to these shows and maybe... Michael Ruiz, like I used to listen a lot when I was doing Gio and Jones to the Levitard show because that was a national radio show that I found funny.

Chapter 3: What are the details about the luge doubles situation?
Have you guys delved at all into the luge doubles situation? No, we have not. It's funny, I've caught parts of the show too this week. But yeah, no, we have not. Have you watched any of this? No. No, actually, no, not at all. I can't claim that I know a thing about it. Well, I would say this.
If you're someone that enjoys lots of funny social media posts and people going all in on one topic, there's a lot of good stuff out there. And Al and I were talking about it this morning. I was like, maybe this is one of these sports that's been around I didn't realize before. I'm not sure it is. I think this is brand new, where they've decided, you know what the luge is traditionally?
Now they're basically stacking one man or woman on top of another, and they're both going down on the single luge sled all the way down. That's been around for a while. It has? 1964. Huh. So why are people only just making a big deal out of it now here in 2026? They figured it out on Twitter. I've never seen it before. I've seen the luge. I've seen the bobsled. I've seen the skeleton.
This is not something I've ever seen. Laying on top of each other thing? Yeah. Yeah. So it's men and women or both men or both women? No, no, no. So they have a team relay. But no, the stack situation is always same sex, at least from what I've seen so far. Okay. All right. Same sex stack. If it's been around since the 60s, perhaps there is a mixed situation. It's a luge. Jeez, man.
So it is interesting. It is interesting content. And I was watching last night as I was eating dinner. They had the team relay final where they do a single, a duo, a single, and a duo. Why would you have, I don't watch it, but why would you have this and the bobsled? Isn't it the same thing? Well, the bobsled's more of like an enclosed vehicle. No, no, I know. I get that.
The luge is just, it's basically like a sled, you know? Yeah. And the skeletons head first, if you haven't seen that. We've, no, I have not. We've just grown to accept these particular sports because they've been around the Olympics. Some of them are bizarre. I mean, it's just insanity. I mean, it could be anything. I mean, these guys that ski and shoot. Well, the ski jump is just insanity.
Yeah, I mean, it's just like, who came up with these things? And then we're just like, okay, fine. This is what we're going to watch and accept. But it's just... I mean, in fairness, UFC is pretty popular. It's two guys pummeling one another. But I understand that's been going on forever. People beating each other up and killing each other has been happening since there's two humans on Earth.
That's true. you know getting a skin tight spandex on and going down a sled at a million miles an hour yeah they're grabbing a gun and then shooting a target like what you know speaking of the skin tight suit i'll give you one uh two actually first one was first date idea doubles luge thought that was clever And then this one here.
Imagine if you're in a relationship with your luge doubles partner, but you break up before the Olympics. And then you got to spend the next few weeks with your ex on top of you wearing skin tight clothing and rubbing there as they put it arse into your crotch. There you go. So it is an unusual watch. I was just curious if that made it onto your radar. No, it didn't.

Chapter 4: Why is LeBron James's retirement a hot topic right now?
I was in the car, and I wanted to listen to the end of the game, and I popped up SiriusXM app. There you go. I got all the different, and I had to choose between Mink and BT or you. Who'd you choose? Well, I did a little of both. Okay, that's fair. Who'd you do the game with? I'm sorry. John Rothstein. That's right. Yes. Yes. Very cool. All right. Cool.
Baseball-wise, the Phillies officially releasing Nick Castellanos yesterday. This was apparently something they wanted figured out before spring training opened. This stems back to the incident, I guess, last September with him getting benched and Rob Thompson and the whole thing. But it was interesting in this age of content and social media and everything.
He wrote a handwritten letter to explain all of this that he then posted to social media. Oh, really? Is it easier to just like take a video of yourself explaining the whole thing? I thought it was interesting.
He actually wrote it down, pen and paper, explaining this incident that preceded the benching where he admitted, yes, bringing a beer into the dugout after he was taken out of a game and then complained to Rob Thompson about team rules. He said his teammates took the beer away before he drank any, which he, I guess, was thankful to them for doing. Um, Let's see.
I sat right next to Rob, let him know that too much slack in some areas and too tight of restrictions in others was not conducive to us winning. And then I guess after the game, he went into the office with Thompson and Dave Dombrowski, and they had it all out. Now he's a former Philly, and a bunch of Mets fans apparently want the Mets to go get him.
I didn't pay too much attention to his fall off last year because I was so focused on the Mets fall off. But, I mean, this guy at his best was a pain in the ass, really, really good player. But, I don't know. Resurrection spot? A little right field insurance spot. Yeah, maybe. Carson Bench insurance spot. Yeah, there's a lot worse ideas than that. Agreed. There you go.
NBA-wise, we talked last hour. LeBron James becoming the oldest player with a triple-double in league history. 28 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds in a Lakers 124-104 home win over the Mavericks. 41 years, 44 days, breaking the record held by Karl Malone. If you care, tonight in L.A., you've got the celebrity game and then the rising stars. Well, the rising stars because there's four Rutgers guys.
There you go. Ron Harper Jr., Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, and Cam Spencer playing in it. Do you think there is anybody in the celebrity game that Eddie Scazzeri knows who it is? Yes. One person. Yes. I do because I think there's ESPN guys in it. Okay. That's why. Shams, right? Yeah, I think he's worn. How about this? Let's do this. Can you get a full list?
Tell us how many total, and then we'll set an over-under. How about that? Or just do the pop culture guys. All right, so the pop culture guys for the roster. Okay, so this is... I got it. Stephen A. Smith playing in this again? Didn't he play in it a couple years ago? He is not playing. Okay. He is not playing. All right, so pop culture, guys.

Is he anything like Amon1000? Is he anything like him? I am in. I don't know what that means. Amon1000? He's the guy, good morning, watermelon head guy. Badshaw has 17 million Instagram followers. Yeah.
That's a big number. Oh, good morning, balloon head. Good morning to you, Amon1000. Who else? Taylor Frankie Paul. This is amazing. These are the celebrities. So she's an influencer. Okay. We're not the demographic anymore. Taylor, Frankie, Paul. And reality TV star. Lifestyle and parenting content. See, I feel like I'm on a lot of this stuff and I still don't know who these people are.
So this is a bad one. She was on The Bachelorette. Or Will be, I'm sorry. Just a couple more. Nicholas Van Steenburg. Van Steenburg? V-A-N-S-T-E-N. There you go. Van Steenburg. Social media influencer? Out of that. He's from? Love Island, it says. From Love Island. Okay. All right. Two more. Mustard. It's got to be a music artist, right? Music producer. Okay. Mustard. Yeah, mustard.
Wow, there's mustard. Okay. There's mustard is right. Is it spelled like the usual? Yes, it is. You know what sucks about that is when you Google mustard, like mustard comes up. Yeah. Like not him. That's why I guess if you would think to differentiate, you'd want to change a letter or something. Boy, look at this guy doing Vegas. Gosh. Mustard is? Yeah. Mustard's doing Vegas? Yeah.
He's got 3 million followers on Instagram, okay. And Adrian Nunez. I feel like I know who that is. I feel like I was in a referee that did one of our games. It's not. So Shams was not on this list, or we just skipped him? We skipped him. We mentioned him already. Again, media influencer. All right. Former college basketball player. 700,000 Instagram followers.
So I don't know if he does basketball videos. He played for Michigan. So maybe that's how I remember the name. I guess I knew the name. How about that? So all of the celebrities, though, are not... They're not like mainstream celebrities. No, clearly not. I got another one. Amanda Knox. Yes. I do know... Oh, geez. You're an ass. You're an ass.
Can I give you Francesa real quick, or do you want to save that? There's also one more here, Jay. Oh, no. Don't. I just heard the name and said yes. Rex Hureman. Rex Hureman. I recognize that name, too. He'll be playing the five. He could ball that guy. Playing the five. He's nasty in the post. He's the 3 and D. You caught me in a moment. You said a name.
I finally recognized the name, and I jumped at it and said yes. It's the wing 3 and D. And realized. Stretch 4. S. I don't know. Do you want to save it or you tell me, man? I don't know. You want to play it or you want to save it? Yeah, true. I guess we can save it. What are we talking about? The mic stuff. That's all right. I'll pair it with Sal next hour. Oh, that'll work out just perfectly.

Chapter 6: What humorous misunderstandings about phrases are shared?
The best cream always rises to the crop in the NBA. No, that's 100% him. Right? Yeah, that's real. Yeah, 100%. He's done that before. Yeah. Numerous times. Oh, okay. I think he thinks that's the phrase. Cream always rises to the crop. Yeah. Cream of the crop. Yes. Yeah. Rising to the top. We had fluid to the top. Now we've got cream rising to the crop. Who cares? King rises to the crop.
Yeah, see, he said that before. I've never heard that one. Yeah, years ago. Okay. I mean, the best one ever is when people say, Katie bar the door, and he thinks it's Katie's by the bar. I mean, that's the greatest one ever. I mean, and then all of a sudden, I mean, listen, Katie's by the bar. Because, again, Katie's by the door, so they're not going to do that. Katie's by the door.
That's even worse, I think. She's by the door. Katie's over there by the door. That game lost a little mustard. You know what that means if Katie's over by the door? Yeah. It's a real thing. But when he said Bugs Bunny, though, you know that was a joke. You know how many people sent that to me? Yeah, I know. I'm like, come on, guys.
Not everything is... Well, but we play them often, so that's why people send it. Fair enough. And if he would have called it, you know, Dumb Bunny or whatever. Bugs Bunny. Come on. That's on purpose. Yeah. I would agree. You're pitching the chorus here. Yeah. The irony is that Bad Bunny speaks better English than Dog.
Yeah.
That's true. He, the other day, talking about all the hamate bone injuries, came right out of the gate with ham bone multiple times. Did he? That one felt like it might have been forced as well. I'm not sure. I'd have to hear it. You could tell. If you watch him, too, you also know.

Chapter 7: How does Jerry's prostate health advice relate to natural remedies?
He went off on the NBA players resting, all that stuff. That was real. He looked like veins were going to come popping out of his neck. Are you talking about the first take one? No, the one on the radio show. He looked genuinely angry. Eddie Erickson knew he was about to get going, so he's like, let me film this. Oh, is that how that happened? That's what it looked like.
It looked like he was starting into it, and then he started filming it, and then Dog realized, okay, Now I'm going to lean into this. I don't think he's going to be lovey-dory. The burst appendix, the whole thing. All right, I got this Sal thing we'll get to next hour, which relates to Mike, but there's no time for it right now. All right. It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN.
Brian Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Bill Ford Tough Studio on the Fan and CBS Sports Network. You know what, Eddie? I am going to... challenge you're owing you a red pocket did you go back and listen you did okay damn it i really thought that i had it both al and i you got distracted you distracted yourself at the top of the hour coming out damn it
Chapter 8: What Valentine's Day card advice is offered by listeners?
I really thought I had it. Well, anyway, there's really no too much talking about Red Pocket. You can't go too over the top with mentioning Red Pocket Mobile, so we'll do it, and we'll do it here. 888-808-1019 is the number to call. The Red Pocket Mobile fan line is brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile. You got it.
Whatever you have on the screen there is making me feel bad about myself. Why? Why? Because it's like all these things that you're trying to do to eat better and stuff. I'm trying to learn how to cook. Really? Yeah. I mean, I know how to cook badly. So I've been trying to learn how to cook in a better way. And so all of these have now come across the algorithm with YouTube. Yeah.
How to make flourless bread. How to do this with Greek yogurt. And it's very interesting. How to make pizza. That's not really pizza. Yeah. And I kind of marked the ones I like, and I'm going to try a few this weekend. Okay. Let me know how that goes. I will. There's a few that look really good that just take two. Like the overnight oats thing, it's a pain in the ass. It's too long of a process.
But if I can sit here and make protein bombs right here, I can make six of them, and that's it. Why not? You know what? Kill yourself. No, I'm trying not to. I'm trying to do the right thing. Protein bombs. Yeah, like I love French toast. I haven't had it in forever, but my wife makes it for our guys at home all the time. So there's this one that I'm very carnivore French toast. Carnivore?
What is that? Just like... I don't know. Ham stacked upon bacon stacked upon... I'm not sure. Is that a meatloaf? But it looks fantastic. It looks like French toast, but I don't know how they make it. I want to learn how to do these things. And instead of just eating out of the freezer or eating the same damn thing all the time, I'm trying to learn different ways to do things.
You know, I really do think you can cook. I think you're selling yourself short. I've watched you make eggs in the microwave here at work. Very underrated. You get that blender going out there? Every day. Did it already. Every single day. Because I've been leaving the studio a lot during the breaks because it's been so cold in here. I normally sit in it.
I'll walk out there like twice a show here. Well, and I did my video. I firmly believe in what I'm doing. I even did a YouTube video on it. So, yeah. You did a YouTube video on it? I did, yes. Okay. Yep. So, wow. Prostate health. You did? Mm-hmm. That was you when you put that video out? I thought it was you sharing someone else's video.
No, that was... I found that... Can we find that, Al, on YouTube? I found that... Oh, absolutely. ...from Dr. Berg on YouTube, this idea of... If you have an enlarged prostate, shrinking the prostate naturally. And one of his drink recipes was an entire lemon, a couple blueberries, and ground flaxseed with water. So I'm like, I'll try it. And I did.
And after two weeks, I noticed things got much better. And I've been doing it now every single day since September. And my sleep is literally worlds better. What's up? Jerry Recco here. You don't need to play it. We're not talking about sports today. Instead, this video is going to be about prostate health.
