22 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 24.006 Boomer and Geo

It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Built Ford Tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Baseball calls this morning. Met fans are happy for the most part except for Steve and Merrick. And that's 888-808-1019. That's the Red Pocket Mobile fan line brought to you by your new Ultimate Cell Carrier Red Pocket Mobile. Freddy Peralta.

24.246 - 33.795 Boomer and Geo

Trade is complete. And you're going to throw him right at the top of that rotation with Nolan McClain. And yes, you had to say goodbye to some prospects, but they are that. They are prospects.

0

Chapter 2: Why are Mets fans excited about the David Stearns era?

34.456 - 58.404 Boomer and Geo

And hopefully this is a season where the Mets are back in the postseason and competing for a championship against the best teams in baseball. And we're not thinking about the prospects. And sometimes the prospects come back to bite you, and sometimes they don't. Like Pete Crow Armstrong did. But... Well, look, we got Benj. We got Benj. Do you like Benj? We got Jonah Tong. Yeah, we got him still.

0

59.206 - 65.093 Boomer and Geo

We still have prospects. No, there's prospects still around. And they got a very good farm system still.

0

65.233 - 65.914 Unknown

You like Benj?

0

66.595 - 79.277 Boomer and Geo

Yes, I love Benj. I've never seen Benj. I don't know anything about Benj, but I'm not sure. But you say you like Benj. I happen to love Benj. Yeah, I don't know a ton about him either, but yeah. I mean, but he's ours. He's ours now. And should be.

0

79.778 - 100.508 Boomer and Geo

Should be one of those turnarounds from the fan base where everybody was canceling season tickets and going crazy and saying, how could you get rid of everybody that we love? Well, now the roster feels pretty complete. You don't think Benj and Inj are related? No, I don't. No, I do not. I don't think they get together when they're both in New York either. Okay. For the picnic.

100.893 - 129.452 Boomer

Let's go to Gene in Smithtown. What's going on, Gene? Hey, guys. What a difference a month makes, man. I was kind of like most Mets fans down with the loss. You know, I am legitimately excited, but my one question is, you know, and obviously with the farm systems, you know, that's why you have a great farm system to make trades when it's going to value the team in the immediate.

129.512 - 149.158 Boomer

So, you know, I'm a little upset to give up Chet Williams, but you got to give to get Chet. uh, get to give whatever that expression is. But, um, question, do we think Stearns will extend? I mean, that's, that's the thing, you know, is it just a pure rental? We've seen Stearns. He doesn't, he's not given, uh,

149.915 - 154.246 Boomer

You know, long-term contracts out, you know, that would be the one thing that I would love to see.

154.266 - 167.839 Boomer and Geo

Well, let's just wait and see. Let's see how Peralta does. I mean, like, you know, I'd much rather have Peralta at the beginning of the year than wait until the trade deadline and acquire him. Yeah. I mean, they needed a guy. They needed to have a top-end pitching player.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Brian Flores' extension in Minnesota?

429.339 - 448.445 Boomer and Geo

He just got here. Well, yeah. I mean, I think that everybody's focused on Peralta, as they should be, and Tobias Myers is in the deal. And when it comes to Milwaukee Brewers— Nobody's talking about Tobias Myers. I just got here. Yeah. But, you know, when it comes to the Brewers and David Stern's acquiring a guy from the Brewers, I mean, you trust him, don't you? Don't you trust that guy?

0

448.705 - 466.4 Boomer and Geo

Those are his guys. Yeah, you'd like to think so. These were his guys, and he saw something special in those guys, and that's why they were out there in Milwaukee when he was running the team. Let's go to Ryan in Blue Point. What's going on, Ryan? Hey, what's up, guys? This is my first time ever calling Cohen.

0

466.481 - 487.384 Boomer and Geo

I got a little nervous, but I got to say, in the beginning of the offseason, I was a little annoyed with Cohen and Stearns and all that, but after last night and the moves they've been doing, I got to say, I've been saying it before, I got to say, this is probably like a Steven Matz 2.0 of how Cohen and Stearns was reacting. And people got to realize...

0

487.567 - 509.118 Boomer and Geo

Yes, we gave up Jett and all them, but we have all these prospects and everybody's complaining about people playing positions. People got to remember, shortstop is the most athletic position. We have people that are coming up through the system that are shortstop that are like 16 years old. They're probably going to move positions. So I have no doubt that Polanco and what's his name?

0

509.379 - 511.902 Boomer

Bichette. Bichette. They'll be fine. Yeah, Ryan.

511.982 - 520.499 Boomer and Geo

They'll be fine, Ryan. Now we know why you haven't called in a while. Yeah, well, you put the radio up, but he never called ever. He said the radio was on in the background, but it's okay.

520.539 - 521.922 Unknown

He's listening to himself right now.

522.163 - 541.499 Boomer and Geo

I love Blue Point. It's a wonderful place. It's right where I live, and Ryan sounded like a great guy, and I love the fact that he changed his mind on David Stearns. That brewery's still there? Yes, but, yeah, the Blue Point Brewery is in Patchogue. I had a lot of fun, man. Yeah, it was a great time. That was a great – I mean, that was for the Yankee playoff run, right? It was, yeah.

541.839 - 554.9 Boomer and Geo

That was great. That was awesome. Yeah. Before I had to clean out the office for the construction, on the wall, the biggest picture I had was actually from Dan and Carter Rett, who got a big picture of us at that remote. Yeah, no, I have it. Framed, yeah.

Chapter 4: What changes did John Harbaugh make for the Giants?

1813.45 - 1838.515 Boomer and Geo

Go to Philly and beat the 76ers on Saturday. Got it, yes. I'm not talking about the Nets. Clearly, you don't care about the Nets, I understand. Landry Schammett, 6 of 6 from 3. He had 18. Jalen Brunson, 20 points. Pistons, Cavaliers, Celtics all won in the East as well. And the Islanders played the Kraken, wound up losing 4-1. Vince Dunn and Capo Caco with goals for the Kraken.

1838.495 - 1865.7 Boomer and Geo

it's the boomer and geo podcast from wfan all right boomer and geo on the fan and cbs sports network al i have a little sports question for you as we uh get ready to kick off the eight o'clock hour in a few minutes so uh the patriots and the chiefs have reached 15 straight afc championship games either one of those two teams that's the longest such streak by two teams in either conference all time okay

0

1867.25 - 1881.111 Boomer and Geo

This is the first championship game without either Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes since 2010. Who played in that 2010 AFC championship game? What two teams and what quarterbacks?

0

1881.331 - 1882.553 Boomer

I'm going to say Tom Brady.

0

1883.354 - 1885.618 Boomer and Geo

No, that was without. These are games without.

1885.638 - 1886.479 Boomer

Oh, the right before then.

1886.679 - 1886.96 Boomer and Geo

Yes.

1888.382 - 1891.266 Boomer

Oh, man. 2010. 2010.

1892.984 - 1901.234 Boomer and Geo

So it's been the Chiefs or the Patriots representing the AFC all the way back to 2010. You actually talked to Peter Schwartz about this on the warm-up show.
