Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. And we're Cody alive for the build for top studio Boomer Assize and Greg Giannotti. It's Boomer and Geo on the fan simulcast across the country on CBS Sports Network and wherever you are on the free Odyssey app. Good Monday morning. What a jam-packed weekend of sports and sports news and craziness. Yankees sweep the Giants.
Mets take two out of three from the Pirates. A little bit of an annoying loss yesterday. An annoying loss for the Knicks last night. The St. John's season came to an end on Friday, but then led us into... An Elite Eight game last night that I don't know that any of us will ever forget. UConn coming back at halftime.
I heard Nate and Charles Barkley and Bruce Pearl going, the fat lady's warming up. I don't think UConn can come back. Not only do they come back, but they provide one of the crazier endings that we have ever seen in the tournament. We will get to all of it. Some football as well. Good morning, Boomer.
How are you?
Yeah, good morning, G. I'm doing great. And unfortunately, it wasn't St. John's and UConn on Sunday. And really, the big difference between the two was Caleb Foster. Caleb Foster against St. John's, you know, was obviously a trendsetter and changed the game in the second half. And in the game against UConn, Caleb Foster didn't score a point. Yep.
And of course, UConn shot one of 18 from three in the first half, which probably drove Gino Auriemma crazy because he hates the three-point game and he hates the fact that everybody's throwing up threes. as he gave a press conference the other day talking about other teams and their three-point shooting statistics and how it's driving everybody crazy.
And I would agree with him because I've long said – That the three-point game has made it too easy for a lot of these players. But when you hit a 35-foot shot to win a game and you extract the ultimate revenge for the Christian Laettner game, that if people remember, they were playing UConn when Christian Laettner hit that shot at the end of the game to send Duke to the Final Four back then.
And this is exactly what happened with Mullens yesterday. And, I mean, this kid's a freshman. He throws up a 35-footer. And it hits nothing but net. I mean, it was an amazing, amazing comeback. And, you know, I'm a little surprised at Nate Charles and, you know, Bruce Pearl. I mean, come on, guys. You guys are athletes.

Chapter 2: How did UConn manage their comeback against Duke?
You guys know what goes on here. You know that their comebacks are like this happened quite a bit. You know, you have to believe in, like, the heart of a champion. And that's exactly what UConn has. You can see their coach was an absolute lunatic. I mean, he's... But he's coaching those guys all throughout that game. You could see the face, the scowl on his face.
I can't even imagine what he said to these guys at halftime. Oh, my goodness. And that's the thing. You know, if you want to say that Duke's taking on some other two-seed who hasn't been there before, and you say, okay, it feels like they're in control of this game, fine if you're those guys at halftime.
But this is a team that's won two of the last three national championships, and they've got a coach that can get just about anything out of anybody. and this should have never, ever happened. If you're a Duke fan, well, screw you to begin with. You've seen enough great stuff, and Duke only likes Duke. Nobody else outside of Duke likes Duke.
But if you're a Duke fan, you're absolutely miserable today because this never, ever, ever should have happened. And not talking about blowing the lead, just the end of the game. And if you were someone who is yelling at Caden Boozer for trying to get the ball,
up the court and with two guys in his face don't because there is a video out there of head coach John Shire pointing to get rid of the ball and get it up the court. And obviously this is something that they have practiced in the past and it should have never happened. He should have never let that ball leave his hands.
And obviously you still have to, at that point, make a 35-foot three-pointer to win the game. But UConn should have never touched the ball. Well, Caden and Cam and Boozer played their asses off yesterday. And this is one of those situations, like we were talking on Friday, about handling the pressure in the moment.
And there were a couple times in the first half where Duke did not handle the pressure very well, even though they went out to a big lead. But there were a bunch of turnovers. And, you know, the interesting thing about all of this is it reminds me how St. John's plays defense. Arms, legs, you're all over the place.
And basically, it was five on three on the UConn offensive side, defensive side for Duke. Because the other two players were all the way down the court. And that's why Shire was saying, throw it down the court. But, man. You're sitting there going, all right, does he try to make the last free throw or does he miss on purpose and then they get the ball back that way?
But he made the last free throw and then obviously here comes the double teams, here comes the arms and legs. And unfortunately for Caden Boozer, a freshman, it just, you know, it got him. It ended up getting him in the most important position. moment in their season. And UConn made the most of it. And that kid Mullins is a freshman.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of UConn's win for the Final Four?
I mean, they really did. I mean, for a nine seed to stick with them, I mean, they had leads throughout the game, but it was just too much there in the end and too much shooting and too many. There just was a massive height advantage inside for Illinois that they finally figured out late in the second half in that game. But I don't... To me, I'm going to say it's UConn and Arizona.
I think Arizona wins it. That's the way I feel after watching these teams throughout the tournament. That's where I'm at right now. So I was praying to God on Friday night that Illinois was going to beat Iowa 72-66 because that's what ChatGPT told me. That's right. But 71-59. Yep. I mean, that game was a hell of a lot closer. Yeah, I know it was. I mean, a hell of a lot closer.
A couple missed shots here, a couple missed free throws there.
And it just got away from it.
It could have been 72-66. It could have been, yeah. I was praying to God. Yeah, that would have been unbelievable. 71-59 either way. It was pretty close. Well... It was a close game, and Iowa had a lead for most of the game, and then it just got out of control there. I mean, everybody on Illinois has got a last name of Itch. Well, that's what I'm saying. It's the Balkan Five, right? Yeah.
I think if I'm Buzz Williams, the University of Maryland head coach, I'm over right now in the Balkans looking for basketball players. Yeah.
just go scouring a bed yes don't find them because this worked out in a big way uh but this has been a really really good tournament i mean you haven't had you know uh 50 buzzer beaters but you've had some really amazing ones in big situations obviously the st john's kansas won the one from last night i think will be remembered for a very very long time the way that it happened so this has been a great tournament and you got four unbelievable teams in the final four so there's gonna
to be some real juice here. I know we've talked about collegiate athletics and where it stands and this and that and how so many people have been turned off by whatever it may be. I'll tell you, no one was turned off last night during this game. Everybody was all into it. It felt like the world was watching UConn and Duke and the way that it ended. I mean, the phone was going crazy.
I do go back again to kind of the seeding situation with the Big East and how it all worked out for UConn, and it didn't work out for the regular season and tournament champion Red Storm from St. John's, although they would have had to get through Duke at some point. Sure. Because of where they were put in a bracket, but...

Chapter 4: What personal experience does the host share about prostate health remedies?
No way. No way. And as he likes to call it, the peak male physical form that he has. But, yeah, everybody loved him. I mean, it's crazy to say, but all my buddies were like, this guy's great. You know, people want to say that Dan's a crazy person. I've said it many, many times. I like to bust his balls, but he fit in perfectly. Slid right into the group. Played some cornhole with us.
Bad cornhole by Dan. Ended up, I got him in a $100 game. I didn't take his $100, though. Speaking of cornhole, any update on that guy without the arms that was shot his buddy? I don't know. I have not seen an update on that. No update on that? Was that his buddy that he shot? The guy was sitting in the front seat of the car with him. I would think that it was his buddy. He had to know the guy.
Well, he said to know the guy doesn't mean it was his buddy, but yeah. I haven't seen a thing on that. We'll take a look. We'll use the internet. All right. Use Grok to find out what's going on with that. It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Boomer and Geo on the fan and CBS Sports Network. I have to say, the most impressive gift basket I have ever seen.
came to the radio station today. And it was because Jerry Recco came up with a prostate drink concoction that helped a man... So much so that he sent this gift basket. Al is going to get the gift basket. I'm surprised Al can even pick this up. Now, what was this now?
Chapter 5: What unconventional bathroom habits are discussed?
I didn't create anything. Look at this thing. This thing might weigh as much as Al. Oh, wow.
I tried to pick it up, and I couldn't.
Look at this. This is unbelievable. Put it over here, Al, in front of Jerry. Yeah, but we're not going to open this.
Please don't open it.
We're not going to open this because Jerry wants to bring this home. Oh, it looks like an Italian.
It is.
Oh, my God. So it's from TNF Italian Deli. You would know this better than me. Franklin Square? Yeah, sure. That's where it's from. And Rudy Genovese is the one who sent me the card. Rockville Center, that area. So, no, I didn't create anything when I was having my issues getting up literally every hour and sometimes more than once an hour to go to the bathroom. I started searching for...
remedies to help because my doctor wanted me to have surgery, which I didn't want to do. And I found this guy, this Dr. Berg on YouTube. He said, try this drink. It's a cup of blueberries, an entire lemon, and flaxseed. Mix it with water. Drink it every day. Give it a couple of weeks. So I did. This is back in September.

Chapter 6: How does the conversation shift to Tiger Woods' DUI situation?
I don't get up anymore. So I decided to share it with people that I know this is a big problem for our listeners, men in their 40s and 50s and 60s. And so a nice, very nice... Look at the cardio for me. Wow, this is unbelievable. I know. So it changed his life. In his 70s, changed his life. Hey, Rudy, you did a good job, Rudy. I mean, that is a... Yes, Rudy.
This is ridiculous.
So this is the TNF Pork Shop... Store, pork store and Italian deli. Pork store. Wow. In Franklin Square. Wow, look at that. Isn't that wild? Can we have some or no? I'd really like to bring it home because there's nothing really to eat. There is. We're not eating cheese at 7.30 in the morning. Come on now. We got Nutella biscuits. Let him take it home. He earned this. You did. Sausages.
Salami.
No, you want to take something, take something. I just don't want to rip it open and I can't get it home. You're right. You got to take it home. There's a lot of stuff in there.
This is insane.
This is insane. This thing has got to be, what do you think, 250 bucks? At least. Yeah, at the very least. I met Johnny. I think it's his shop. He came up. He's the one that brought it up. Oh, really? Yeah. The guy in the shop brought it up. Yeah. He delivered it personally. I offered to have him come in and watch the show for a little while, but he was double parked. He didn't have much time.
That thing is so heavy, if you put it in your passenger seat, your car is going to say someone's not wearing a seatbelt. You've got to buckle it in. I would agree with that. By the way, it does say, thank you for sharing. I can't emphasize enough to others. that they should try it too. Happy Easter to you and your family. Isn't that nice? That is really, really nice, Jerry. I'm just glad.
The penis doctor. Yes. Well, Jerry the penis doctor. They wanted to cut me. I wasn't interested in that. So this drink is for the listeners out there that didn't catch it or maybe the first time they're listening. Yes. A full cup of blueberries, an entire lemon with the peel, everything, a tablespoon of flaxseed, 12 ounces of water, pulverize it in a blender or like a neutral bullet.

Chapter 7: What does Geno Smith's starting position mean for the Jets?
What does it mean to have him here? It means to have a bona fide starter. come in and lead this offense to where it needs to go. And so Judy Batiste is doing the sit-down. He says bona fide starter, which leads her to... So just to be clear, Geno Smith is the starting quarterback. No doubt about it. He's our guy. Well, hopefully he doesn't this year for the Jets and the Jet fans.
I mean, that was, what, eight years ago? How many years ago was that? Yeah, it's a long time. Yeah, I don't remember. Maybe longer. It's hilarious to me that he struggled so much this year, Aaron Glenn, this past year, in naming quarterbacks, fighting with the media. I'm not going to tell you who it is. I'm not going to tell you who it is. His first press conference this year, it's a quarterback.
That's it. You guys got it? It's like, what were you doing all last year, you dummy? While he was trying to be everything to everybody, this year he's got a little help on the offensive side of the ball. So good for him. Good for him. Thunder beat the Knicks 111-100. Shea Gilgis-Alexander had 30. The Knicks are off today in Houston. Tomorrow the Knicks beat the Kings 116-99.
And in golf, this one makes you feel good. Gary Woodland doing great things on the golf course this weekend. And golf's latest improbable comeback story, and is it ever a good one, belongs to Gary Woodland. And so that was on NBC, the brain surgery, what, three, four years ago or so. He's battled with depression and certain issues since, but he wins yesterday the Houston Open.
Here he was on NBC, a bit emotional, as you can imagine. I'll tell you what, we play an individual sport out here, but I wasn't alone today. I got a lot of people behind me. And he says he hopes it's inspiration for others. Anybody that's struggling with something, I hope they see me and don't give up. Just keep fighting. And that courtesy of NBC as well.
Yeah, this was great to see, and he's still dealing with stuff.
He talked after the round that on Friday, if he didn't have a support system around him, he was about to just leave the tournament because he's just got a lot going on, that lesion on his brain, and he has PTSD from the surgery now, and there's just a lot of situations where he's overcome with intense fear of things, and he was able to overcome all of that. to win this tournament. So, yeah.
By the way, he's going to be 42 years old next month. So that's about as good as it gets. A lot going on. Great for him to win that. Hopefully he's getting better and better every day. He also now gets into the Masters, too, because of it. Yep. Wins for the Rangers and Devils, Islanders, Penguins tonight. All right, let's go to Frank at Farmingdale quick. What's going on, Frank? Hey, guys.
How you doing? Good, Frank. What's up? Oh, man. Great show, first of all. And second...

Chapter 8: What impact does Tiger Woods' DUI arrest have on his career?
Love the way you guys represent Long Island. Really proud of you guys. Oh, thanks, Frank. Thank you, Frank. But the one thing is you're missing about Tiger Woods refusing to take the urine test. They didn't provide him a place to sit. Oh, Frank. Tiger Woods is not a sitting, peeing guy. No, he's definitely not. Hell no. No way. Come on.
Of all the guys in the world, that's one guy who's not squatting. It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Boomer and Geo on the fan and CBS Sports Network. How scared should we be that the NFL is starting to hire replacement referees for the 2026 season? We got a long way to go, but the last time we saw replacement referees, it was as bad as you could possibly imagine.
I thought it would make us appreciate the real referees a little more, but then again, that sort of faded away. But... The only thing worse than an actual referee is a replacement referee. So, I mean, is this something that we're going to see? I hope not, man, because we remember the last time we went through this. Yeah.
And, you know, hopefully the NFL, if in fact they get to that point, which I hope is not the case, they'll be training up referees as we speak and maybe making sure that they get quality high-end referees. The other thing, too, is like if these referees –
again, cross the line and put these other guys in a bad situation and force them to the negotiating table, then eventually they'll never become an NFL referee, I don't think. And if they do, they're going to catch a hell of a lot of pressure from the people that are already there. Of course. So I do remember my own situation through our own strike in 1987. Now, this is not a strike.
This seems to be a lockout to me. But, you know, hopefully they'll get it right. The referees are an important part of the game. They know it. The NFL knows it. The players know it. And it'll be interesting – It's going to be interesting to see if they get this done. I think they'll get it done. I don't think they want to go down.
The NFL cannot have replacement referees on the field for real games. We cannot allow that to happen. Well, I mean, it already did happen once, and it was a disaster. The poor guy ended up writing a book about it, that whole original fail Mary in the end zone. In Seattle. Yeah.
I guess this might be a stupid question, but did the people in New York, those replay officials, do they fall under the same umbrella as the referees in that particular union? That's a really good question. I don't think so. I think that's a... That's a good question. I don't know the answer to that.
The only reason I ask that is I'd feel a little bit better about replacement referees if we still had the same replay officials in New York that were looking at everything. I'm thinking that that's a separate entity, even though they work with the referees. Okay. I'm thinking that's the way it is. I'm assuming that they are league employees that are different from the on-field employees.
