19.599 - 42.846 Boomer Esiason

Talked a little bit about the Knicks beating Denver impressively and then barely showing up against the Lakers yesterday. but big news in the NBA is Jason Tatum is back, and it doesn't seem like he has taken much time to reacquaint himself with the game of basketball because he looks like himself. He looks really, really good, and he comes off the major Achilles injury. We know that...

0

42.826 - 62.192 Boomer Esiason

that it happened against the Knicks in that series, and then he got the surgery right away, right? Yeah, it was the next morning. He got the surgery right here in New York City, and there was no speed bridge involved. Remember the whole thing with Aaron Rodgers and Dr. Eletroge? We're going to do the speed bridge. We're going to try to get him back on the field.

0

62.252 - 85.882 Boomer Esiason

I think he was practicing towards the end of the season, but he was never going to be able to play. This was done the normal way, and it was done quickly at HSS. And he has worked diligently, I'm assuming through rehab and everything else. So he's played in two games. He's averaging 27 minutes a game and 17 points already. Yep. Just like that. Well, we know how talented he is.

0

85.922 - 102.362 Boomer Esiason

You knew it wasn't going to be a Deshaun Watson situation where he's going to re-tear his Achilles because he wasn't taking things seriously. He was going to come back, and he came back earlier than a lot of people expected. Of course, that's going to be an issue for the Knicks, but it's never easy getting out of the Eastern Conference.

102.382 - 107.809 Boomer Esiason

It's never easy winning a championship, and it becomes a little bit harder if Jason Tatum is Jason Tatum in the postseason.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Jayson Tatum's return to the Celtics?

107.829 - 128.034 Boomer Esiason

But I can't, I mean, at this point, it really is impossible to evaluate who these teams are. Because I know James Harden's going to quit in the playoffs at some point. I know he got off to a great start with the Cavs. You know that's happening, right? You know there's going to be an injury somewhere along the line, big injury with one of these teams, because there were two last year.

0

128.495 - 144.7 Boomer Esiason

I mean, it's amazing. The Knicks are five games out of first place. Well, the Pistons lost four in a row. Which is amazing. Yeah, I mean, and the Celtics are two and a half games out of first place. I mean, if they, you know, well, yesterday they just couldn't. Again, it's just one of those brick nights. It's just enough already.

0

144.72 - 160.499 Boomer Esiason

It's like, honestly, they're just going through the motions with this regular season. It's like, we'll show up when we want to show up. We'll play when we want to play. If we don't want to play, we won't. And then once the postseason comes, they'll wake up and they'll give maximum effort every single night, you would hope. It's not even that.

0

160.579 - 177.723 Boomer Esiason

I mean, like they were missing, again, wide open shots. Yeah, but I mean, it's like lazy, though. You know what I mean? I know. You miss shots when you don't care. But, you know, this is what Mike Brown wants up and down, up and down. Hit your threes, you're going to score 140 points like you did against Denver. So I can't get on him too much.

0

178.123 - 200.415 Boomer Esiason

I mean, yesterday was just one of those days where nobody was hitting anything, and Mikael Bridges had zero points. Yep. That's right. Can't survive if you're the New York Knicks if one of those guys is core guys and Mikael Bridges can't score. When they win, they're obviously well-balanced. They all are in the upper teens. Some of them are in the 20s.

201.116 - 221.738 Boomer Esiason

Carl Anthony Towns is getting his double-double. Josh is getting his double-double. And Maybe Jalen is shooting around 20 times a game, not 30 times a game, and either OG or Mikael Bridges is chipping in offensively, and that was not the case yesterday. No. I'm going to steal a bit from the warm-up show here and do buzz, no buzz on the celebrities that were at the game.

221.718 - 233.882 Boomer Esiason

I want you to give me a buzz or no buzz with the celebrities, all right? I guess so. Because we got a lot of them. This was as jam-packed of a celebrity game as there was this year. More celebrities, well, were they there rooting for the Knicks or were they there rooting for the Lakers?

233.902 - 254.55 Boomer Esiason

Well, that's why there were so many of them, because you had both the Knicks and the Lakers celebrities at the same time. All right, buzz, no buzz, Larry David. Well, he's always a buzz. He's always a buzz. Yeah. I thought you were going to say he's always there, so it's a no buzz. But, I mean, for me, I mean, like, he is, he's always a buzz. He's always a buzz, okay.

254.65 - 256.292 Boomer Esiason

Our buddy Al, our buddy Al's a buzz.

Chapter 3: What celebrity buzz was generated during the Knicks/Lakers game?

502.386 - 528.964 Boomer Esiason

No buzz? All right. There you go. All right. We made it through all of them. I mean, if you're Bill Maher and you get the girlfriend after Al Pacino, don't you feel like she's just using the old guys with money? Yeah, but he seems to be having fun. Well, of course he's having fun. He had some work done. He had work done? Yeah, he had his face pulled back.

0

529.13 - 548.166 Boomer Esiason

A lot of people are pulling that face back. Yeah. Strange. What do you mean, strange? Well, I mean, it's strange that men are pulling their face back. That's why they're with younger women. No, it's not. Getting their face pulled back. No, women are not attracted to men getting their face pulled back. They're attracted to the bank account, especially with Bill Moore.

0

548.947 - 550.39 Craig Carton

Hoo-ah! Hoo-ah! Hoo-ah!

0

550.41 - 571.899 Boomer Esiason

Hoo-ah! Hoo-ah! Hoo-ah! I mean, Bill Maher doesn't have any kids. He doesn't have a wife. He didn't go through a divorce or nothing. He's just sitting on piles of cash. Sitting on piles of cash. And she's trying to get in there. Well, she's in there. You know? Well, maybe he was, well. Huh? Nothing. Nothing? Nothing. Yeah. Yeah, but he's definitely had his face pulled back.

0

572.54 - 598.077 Boomer Esiason

You think he's had his face? See, I don't know. You know, I think Brady's had his face pulled back. You think it's all right? I mean, he looks very chiseled, doesn't he? He does. But I think that's just because he's thin and, I don't know, his jawline's always sort of been like that. He's got the Kirk Douglas jawline. I heard a lot of guys do this thing with their eyelids, too. What's this?

598.538 - 610.829 Boomer Esiason

They pull their eyelids back. Well, that's what I'm saying. It's not the full face. It's just the eyelid. You're talking full face pullback. Well, I'm talking about both talks and a forehead and then getting the eyes pulled back.

610.849 - 611.029 Eddie

Oh, okay.

611.049 - 627.205 Boomer Esiason

Yeah, yeah. This whole thing. Rex Ryan did it. Then you don't have an expression. You have an expressionless face. Yeah, I think Rex Ryan did all of this. He did? He got the new teeth. I think he got the eyelids and the face pulled back. He's got some big chiclets now. He does. They're huge. So does Francesa, by the way.

627.225 - 635.81 Boomer Esiason

I know he's had them for a while, but they were looking spectacular when he was doing something with his podcast the other day. Really? You pointed it out yourself.

Chapter 4: How is Pete Hoffman handling the pressure of his missed shift?

1489.479 - 1496.352 CeeLo

It's going to be the Go Get Em podcast. I think that's the name he settled on. What? Go Get Em? I think that's what he settled on.

0

1496.432 - 1501.723 Boomer Esiason

Oh, that's why. I know why. I know why now. The Aaron Boone thing? Yes. Where he said, when Aaron Boone...

0

1501.703 - 1525.315 Boomer Esiason

they're wrapping up which is very funny actually um and they're wrapping up the aaron boone interview when they had him in studio he's like hey you know have fun down in spring training go get him that's what c-back said which is a ridiculous thing to say to the manager of the yankees go get him yeah so that's gonna be the name i guess a lot of people wanted it to be the yankee show podcast yeah it should have been that yeah he's gonna go why not just call it goodness gracious

0

1525.818 - 1526.899 CeeLo

Now, that would have been something.

0

1527.199 - 1528.06 Boomer Esiason

That's what I would have called it.

1529.381 - 1530.742 CeeLo

Well, that's what he's going with.

1530.762 - 1533.144 Boomer Esiason

Unless Susan has her own podcast, goodness gracious.

1533.465 - 1544.374 CeeLo

This is the Go Get Em podcast with Chris McManagel. And Craig, as you can imagine, has very, very lofty standards, so much that he wants C-Mac standing atop the mountain in short order.

1544.814 - 1565.98 Craig Carton

On September 1st, you have to be the most listened to podcast here at the station or you shut it down. No. Why not? Because I want to do it. Put some pressure on yourself. Five months, number one. That's not pressure. Yeah. If you don't beat Alan Jerry, you cancel the podcast. No. Then why not? Because I want to do the podcast no matter what. I want to keep doing it.

Chapter 5: What ultimatum did Craig Carton give to Pete Hoffman?

1571.149 - 1573.392 Craig Carton

They've been doing it for ten years. That means it's good.

0

1576.392 - 1588.016 Boomer Esiason

I will say, if I were Craig, I would be a little concerned that everybody that's working with him has got other interests going on. Yeah, they do. I mean, C-Max got his new podcast. He got P-Hop and Flying Down producing a podcast.

0

1588.036 - 1589.84 CeeLo

But Craig has a podcast during the day, too, though.

0

1589.96 - 1608.604 Boomer Esiason

Yeah, but not all people are created equal here. You understand what I'm saying? Fair. It's a totem pole thing here. But you have to understand, though, it is the Carton Show, so those guys get very few opportunities to really expand their thoughts. It's one of the reasons why I think CMAX works on Saturdays. Yeah, they do six to seven. You know what they should have called his podcast? Uh-huh.

0

1611.327 - 1623.424 CeeLo

Or Craig's got We Need to Talk. This is CMAX. I finally get to talk. It's a new episode of Mmm with Chris McMonagle. Mmm. Mmm.

Chapter 6: What are the latest updates on Maxx Crosby's team transition?

1625.846 - 1637.739 CeeLo

Oh, boy. And then I figured you would be a huge fan of this since you have done this to Joe back in the day a time or two. Oh, tricking somebody? Yeah. This led into break on Friday. I was in the car. I almost drove off the road.

0

1638.239 - 1658.354 Al

Guys, are you concerned about your performance? Worried you might not be enough? Well, excuse me. Worried you might not be enough? Well, the makers of your favorite blue pill are happy to introduce U2 Stiff. Never worry again. One pill an hour before go time, and she will never be happier.

0

1658.895 - 1666.727 Al

Side effects include shortness of breath, insomnia, wrinkled testicles, hernias, heart attacks, slight penile bends, and stroke.

0

1668.665 - 1674.271 Craig Carton

Set me up for this one. I knew it as I was reading it. Slight penile bend.

0

1674.291 - 1699.061 Boomer Esiason

I mean, how does he get to shrunk and testicles and actually read it? Keep reading. Like Eddie has done things like with the weather, it would be like it's a high of go F yourself. And it'll get there. It'll stop. But here's Seabag going right with truncated testicles.

1701.384 - 1712.439 CeeLo

Wrinkled testicles. Wrinkled, that's right. So pretty funny. So he did catch himself, kind of, but it was a little late. Did you set me up for this? I knew it as I was reading it. Did you?

1713.7 - 1715.783 Boomer Esiason

Because you went with wrinkled testicles.

1715.763 - 1723.038 CeeLo

Oh, boy. So, yes, I figured because when I heard that, I was thinking of the Joe things you used to set him up with. Oh, it's so gullible.

1723.058 - 1724.742 Boomer Esiason

That was almost too easy. Right.

Chapter 7: What are the key celebrity travel complaints discussed?

2050.249 - 2073.363 Boomer Esiason

He was listening this morning and that is our buddy Scott, who is also known as Little Boomer. He said... I'm alive and well. It's leprechaun season. So he's out there and he's got many, many leprechaun gigs. A lot of gigs. And he said, tell Boomer, even though it's been a rough year with the Rangers tonight, that the Flyers suck. Yes, Flyers will always suck. I appreciate that, Scotty.

0

2074.003 - 2095.731 Boomer Esiason

But we now need to lose so we can get into the top of this draft. Yeah. So if you see Scott out there at your St. Paddy's Day parade or your party, Make sure you give him a pound and say that Boomer and Gio love him. Mike's down in Florida. What's going on, Mike? Mike. Lupus Mike. Hey, Mike. What's up, man?

0

2096.813 - 2097.854 Lupus Mike

Hey.

0

2097.874 - 2104.241 Boomer Esiason

Do you just call yourself Lupus Mike? Lupus Mike. Oh, okay. All right. Very good. How you doing, Lupus Mike?

0

2105.262 - 2125.485 Lupus Mike

Lupus Mike's doing well this day, today. All right. So been a fan since Susan Waldman and Lampley first broadcast. And I'm sitting with my wife who's a big fan of the show and they had that poly market that did the free groceries in the West village.

2125.706 - 2127.212 Boomer Esiason

Yeah. The big pop up. Yeah.

2127.547 - 2137.603 Lupus Mike

Right, so my wife turns around out of nowhere and says, I wonder if Peter Schwartz is online every day, and did he cut into the line?

2137.623 - 2160.541 Boomer Esiason

Oh, man, I tell you, you know, it's funny, Mike, that you guys are listening. Peter Schwartz, here's the thing about Peter Schwartz. He will happily pay his way for food, but if something goes wrong during his experience, that's when he expects... upper echelon treatment, free gift cards on the arm. That's the stuff.

2160.561 - 2178.256 Boomer Esiason

He's not looking to go into a place and get a freebie, but if you mess up an order, he's going right to social media. He's going right to social media. He's going right up the chain, right up the ladder. Give me a gift card. I want this on the arm. I will ruin your reputation. I often think about that.
