Chapter 1: What does the future hold for the Giants with Jaxson Dart and Jim Harbaugh?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Bill Ford Tough Studio on the Fan and CBS Sports Network. Red Pocket Mobile fan line brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile. That's 888-808-1019. I want to talk about the Mets win, the Yankees win, what's going on with the draft, the rumors in the NFL.
All of it is available to you on the Red Pocket Mobile fan line.
Yeah, more stories coming out of the Giants. Matt Nagy basically saying that, you know, Jackson Torres is a different type of player, meaning that he's good. And he can't wait to get his hands on him in terms of putting him in this offense that they probably, I would assume, it's the same offense Patrick Mahomes is running out in Kansas City. Sure.
So, which is, you know, it's a version of the West Gulf's offense the way that Andy Reid likes it and does a little tweak here, a little tweak there. And I'm sure that Matt Nagy will try to make sure that he is going to be setting up the plays and calling the plays that Jackson Dart's going to be really good at. And like I said earlier this morning,
You know, it's time for Jackson Dart to get serious. I mean, when you think about the amount of money that he has a potential to make. Oh, my God. In three years from now, I would imagine that if he has a good year this year and an even better year next year, these next two years for him will set him up for life. You know, you could see him. And this is I'm not this is not hyperbole. This is not.

Chapter 2: What was the caller's experience at the phone-free Masters?
Joke, you could see him as a $70 million quarterback here in New York. Well, someone's going to get that money.
One of these young guys is going to get that $70 million.
He and Gale Williams are going to be right there. I don't know what's going on with C.J. Stroud down in Houston, what's going on with Trevor Lawrence signed his contract extension, but there are going to be new extensions coming relatively soon, and with the salary gap going up the way it is, and even Jerry Jones said at the owner meetings last week that, oh, this is going to be an 18th game.
Once the players see how much more money they're going to make,
Sure.
We can go round and round about player safety. Nobody really cares. I mean, they just care about making more and more and more money, which is fine. That's what they're supposed to be doing. So, yeah, I think we're going to see a $70 million-a-year quarterback in the next couple years.
And if Jackson Dart plays his cards right and he focuses in on his job and becomes serious about it, which I'm sure and I hope he is, there is a chance for life-altering money.
We have been waiting for that right coach-quarterback combination for the Jets and Giants for years now. I mean, it feels like decades that we've been waiting for that pairing. And you know you have the coach because he's got the track record. And we think that we've got the quarterback-coach combination with Jackson Dart. Really, the only thing that people get scared about is his durability.
There's nothing about his game that you can really say was bad, but it's just, is he going to be able to stay healthy with the way that he plays the game? The offensive line has got to be great for him.

Chapter 3: How does Ken Griffey Jr. connect photography with sports?
But, I mean, he really could be... the guy in New York for the foreseeable future. He's got that type of potential, and things are lining up for that. And, I mean, it would be great to see. It really would be amazing if this year turned out to be a playoff year or even a winning season, and then all of a sudden it's to the moon after that.
You know, I watched up close and personal this year. An 18-year-old basically re-energized an entire franchise and fan base. And I know the pressures that are on that 18-year-old. And I'm not just talking about on the ice. Of course there's pressure on the ice. But I bet you that that 18-year-old Matthew Schaefer feels more confident on the ice than anywhere else in his life.
And he's confident in his abilities. But what you see off the ice is just the demands. the demands to be here, the demands to be there. Can you do this? Can you show up here? Can you sign this? Can you meet my sick kid? I mean, it's just endless.
And, you know, this is one of the reasons why I think he's living with Matt and Sid is to try to calm some of that stuff down away from the ice, you know, and give him a happy, structured life to be able to be the best player he can be on the field. Now, Jackson Thorpe's a little bit older. He's a man. You know, he played in the NFL last year, had some success.
You know, now it's become a little bit more TMZ-ish, the world of the NFL. And, you know, he's knee-deep in it. But I would just always tell him that now, these next two years, man, this is it. This is where you can really ascend to enormous money in your life. And that should be the incentive is to win, of course, but also to be compensated for winning and being the reason why they're winning.
Yeah, and I know that Brian Dable loved Jackson Dart to the point where, I mean, it was his ticket to maybe stay the Giants coach, and it didn't work out. But as far as Jackson Dart staying grounded and doing the right things, I mean, John Harbaugh stepping into his career at this point couldn't be any better timing.
Exactly. That's why we said this is exactly the guy they should hire.

Chapter 4: What updates do the hosts provide on the Yankees and Mets?
This is why Chris Merritt got on a plane or a train or whatever he did to go down and see John Harbaugh in Baltimore the moment he was fired. to try to convince him to come up here.
Now, when you're John Harbaugh and you are given an edict by the owner, I don't care who the owner is, but you're taking over for a team that it seems like internally, again, it was run by the players, not by the coach. Yeah. This is going to be completely a different set of circumstances. There's going to be an expectation to win in the preseason.
There's going to be an expectation to be on time, just like Tom Coughlin did. There's going to be an expectation to be at the right weight. There'll be weigh-ins. There'll be all sorts of that crap. And there's going to be an edge that's going to be brought to this team. The first couple meetings are going to be all flowery, nice. This is what we're going to do.
But then it's going to get out in the practice field, and it's going to get serious. And it's all about competition. And it's not going to be about where you're going on Thursday night or what restaurant you're coming out of in New York City at 2 o'clock in the morning. It's not going to be about any of that crap. He is going to put this thing on lockdown.
That's why they're paying him $20 million.
All right, we've had some calls in here at 888-808-1019. Flavio is in Hawthorne, New Jersey. What's going on, Flavio?
Hey, good morning, guys. What's up, man? I was listening to you guys talking about the Masters. I had the opportunity of going to one and only time I went down to the Masters was a couple years back. And, you know, having to turn in your phone, you know, it was – at first it was like, you know, Linus' blanket. It's like, ah –
But once you get in there and you don't have your phone and you don't have the pressure of calling home or checking in on work or people texting you or holding your camera up and taking video of golfers, you just had a chance to enjoy the game, enjoy golf, enjoy these guys who just are just the way they hit the ball, the sounds. And everybody there, thousands and thousands, it was phenomenal.

Chapter 5: What are the lingering health issues affecting the hosts?
And, Booms, I agree with you 100% that they should take it out of schools. They should take phones away from kids in school. It's just enjoy the day. Enjoy where you are. And the Masters was an incredible experience. That was a huge part of it. They do have phone banks. Like, you could go and make calls.
Yeah, I mean, sure, but you've just got to be away from something.
Right, again, if you're going to the Masters, you're going under their rules, and their rules are no phones, and you're going to be polite. It's not going to be what we saw here at Bethpage. You know, it's going to be well-behaved. It's not going to be what we see at the waste management. It's not going to be any of that ridiculousness going on. This is serious.
This is the first major of the season, and they've always treated it like this. And if you don't like it, don't come. That's all there is to it.
I don't know if you knew the Ken Griffey Jr. photography thing that he's into. Yeah. So last year, he got a job to work for Masters.com, and they did a documentary on it, and they followed him around, and it was on Golf Channel this past week. And I watched the whole thing, and it was amazing because...
There was this old English guy who was running the photography for Masters.com, had been there for a very long time. And Ken Griffey Jr., who was one of the most accomplished baseball players of the last 30 years, and everywhere he goes, he's a superstar. He actually said he got into photography because... He wanted to enjoy his kids' sports without being bothered by everybody.
And if he was on the sideline with the camera, people wouldn't talk to him. So he goes and he starts his first day. He starts taking pictures and everything.

Chapter 6: What unconventional medical advice do listeners share?
So they come in to review it. And this English guy is sitting next to Ken Griffey Jr. and just roasting him for how terrible his pictures are. he's like well this is absolutely terrible and you see the ropes here this is awful absolutely awful you can't have that background there and he's like Ken Griffith Jr. is like By this guy. And there you go.
There's this picture on CBS Sports Network of him. And then he came back the next day. And the English guy's like, I want you to have a picture on Masters.com with your name on it, your photo credit. But I'm not going to do it unless you actually get a good picture. Oh, wow. So, yeah.
So that guy is curating all the pictures for Masters.com.
Yeah.
You know, interesting. He was at the Ryder Cup, wasn't he, Ken Griffey?
He was. He was. Yeah.
He was there taking photos, too.
Yeah, I think he was. I don't know if he was sure if he was taking photos or just there to enjoy it.
I would think that he'd be taking photos. I mean, if that's what he's doing.

Chapter 7: How does personal health impact professional performance?
Yeah. So he said that, which I think is a really, really smart idea. He said, you know, if I'm there, I'm engaged. I'm watching. No one's talking to me. I'm on the sideline. I can actually enjoy watching my kids play. And that's how he got into it and developed a passion for it. But, I mean, it is so interesting to watch.
A guy who has basically been lauded for his entire life at being great at something. And people taking pictures of him. Yeah, people taking pictures of him. And then just this old English guy tearing him apart. And then Ken Griffey, the next day he goes, man, you scared me with the stuff you were saying. And he's like, oh, I'm sorry.
He was kind of facetiously going, oh, I'm sorry I scared you, Ken Griffey Jr. ? You know, it's like crazy.
I mean, did he know who, obviously, he has to know who he is.
Well, yeah.
Somebody had to tell him, right? Of course, yeah. I mean, well, there's a documentary. He's filming him for a reason, you know. Well, I don't know if the guy knew that or not, or maybe he was playing into the documentary.
No, no, no. No, he was this guy. This was absolutely authentic. 100% authentic. It's really, really a fun thing to watch. Paul in Pennsylvania. What's going on, Paul? Yeah, good morning, Boomer and Gio.
How are you guys? Good, Paul. What's up? Good, good, good. Hey, I love talking golf with you guys. I've called in a couple times. Gio, I know last year we talked a little bit.

Chapter 8: What humorous moments arise from the discussion of health remedies?
You were on the fence about, should I go to the Masters? Should I not go? And I would say to you, if you love to watch it on TV like I do, go at least for a practice round or two and walk the course because you can't really appreciate the elevation changes on some of these holes and the The slopes of some of these greens are crazy when you're standing next to them.
You can't really appreciate it on TV. And it's like I went in 99. I went all four rounds. Olisabo v. Norman down the stretch. The ground was shaken. And, you know, watching it on TV after that has been such a different experience after being there. So get down there just for a practice round or two. Get down there, man, because it is awesome. Yeah.
It really is. At some point, I'm sure I will, but it's not going to be this year. By the way, so we did that video out of Pebble with the Scratch folks who were so kind to send us out there and filmed it and everything else. So I follow Scratch, and I follow all the people that we played with. I follow Ian. I follow Nicole on Instagram.
Yep.
Nicole went to the Masters on a private jet.
Oh, come on. Really?
Yeah, really. Wheels up. Private jet. Man. How about that? I mean, good for her, good for Scratch, but my goodness.
You couldn't get a seat on that jet? Who, me? Yeah. No. Why not?
Because I have to work.
