What are ghost plates and how do they relate to counterfeit goods?
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 still basking in the glow of the St. John's Sweet 16 appearance beating Kansas last night on a buzzer beater by Dylan Darling who did not make a shot the entire game, called his own number and got it done. Want to join the show? 888-808-1019. That's a Red Pocket Mobile fan line brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile. You know, a little good news for those of us who try to do the right thing. You know, I was coming across the Throgs Neck Bridge the other day, and I saw a big sign saying, you know, counterfeit plates will not be tolerated.
Nice. Let's go. How long have we been talking about this? Long time. Yeah. Paper plate, ghost plates, right? Yes.
How did St. John's secure their Sweet 16 victory?
Ghost plates. Ghost plates from Texas, ghost plates from Georgia. Yeah. Now they're taking nail polish and kind of changing the numbers and letters on the plates so the congestion pricing readers can't read those plates. I mean, you had all sorts of crap going on. Man. That was interesting. I did not expect that at all. You know, you're talking about how Stephen Waldron gets caught off guard by me. You go in ghost plates right here at 9 o'clock. Yeah, well, I figured it was 9 o'clock. Preface, preface, bye. I got some good news for everybody. Yeah, when I was going across the Throgs Neck Bridge and I saw that sign, I was like, man, all right. That's good.
What was Joe Benigno's confusion about free thinkers?
I saw Suffolk County Police got a bunch of those catalytic converter dudes out there, shut down the big ring of the catalytic converter ripoff people that were out there in Suffolk, and they got them. A lot of that crap going around here. Big bust there. Can't hang on to those catalytic converters. I saw a very unique interaction down on Canal Street. Actually, Lispinard leaving the other day. Some guy pulled out what looked to be like a Chanel bag out of some pouch and was trying to sell it to a couple of tourists, probably from, I don't know, Nebraska. Okay. And I could not believe the amount of counterfeit crap that was on the street. So that's all back now, huh? Oh, it's as bad as I've ever seen. All you have to do is go out Canal Street, go to Manhattan,
Yeah, I don't go that way. I don't like that way. It makes me nervous.
What is the significance of the Knicks' recent win?
It is like a bazaar over there. Yeah, it makes me nervous. A lot of people running across the streets and stuff. I don't need that. If I have to do it, I'll do it, but I'm usually a Williamsburg guy. But, you know, so Lispinard goes parallel to Canal. It's just south of Canal. Yeah. I couldn't believe what Lispinard looked like. Oh, so now they've moved over? Well, I think it's not that they moved over. I think there's no more room on Canal Street that they've got, and they're probably just going to keep moving. And just keep growing and growing and growing. And, you know, it's all knockoff stuff. And I just obviously.
How is the MLB season shaping up for the Mets?
You know, it's being allowed. Yeah. So was it Giuliani who cracked down on the knockoff? He did. So he also got rid of the hookers, too. He got rid of the hookers.
Yeah, he got rid of a lot of things.
And then Bloomberg was able to keep it suppressed there for a while, right? Well, Bloomberg was so effective as a mayor that he was in office for 12 years. And then that Big Bird guy came in here, effed the whole thing up, huh? Yeah. Well, yeah, he did. And now all those people are back into this latest craze. Yeah. Yeah, it's tough.
What tribute was paid to Chuck Norris in the episode?
Yeah. It's tough. They want this. They want this kind of crap. Who's they? The people in power, the people that get elected, and then the people who get appointed. They want counterfeit bags being sold? I guess they do. They don't want to do anything about it, and the police aren't doing anything about it. Yeah. Well, that stinks. Yeah. You know? It does. It's unfortunate because it really does.
What was Sal Licata's encounter with Jerry Seinfeld about?
You know, it's kind of like the everyday life challenges that you have to face and There you go. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, it's just unbelievable what you see. You know what I'm saying?
