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

0.031 - 20.115 Gio

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. So right at 6 o'clock, and you can check it out on the free Odyssey app with the chapters feature, or you can use the rewind feature.

20.095 - 38.374 Gio

I was frustrated with the lack of news when it came to the Jets offensive coordinator search because I felt like we were talking about Frank Reich all last week and what was going on, and I was pressing Boomer, and Al and I did good cop, bad cop, and didn't get much out of the big fella, but he said that within...

0

38.354 - 60.514 Gio

The next 24 to 48 hours, you are going to get a completion of this search and an announcement as to who that man is going to be. And then also drop some hints about restaurants. And that made me think about the John Harbaugh Mediterranean restaurant and sewing that whole thing up. And I got lots of suggestions about maybe restaurants that you could be looking into in the Florham Park area.

60.494 - 85.339 Gio

And I also, in the 6 a.m. hour, called for, because I understand, you know, you're in a position where you're very close to Frank. You're not a beat reporter. So I called for those men to get their crap together. Guys that I like. I really do. I said I love the Jets beat. Let's get on this thing because I'm sick of getting stonewalled by Boomer. And I mentioned Connor Hughes, who's been on it.

0

85.92 - 89.686 Gio

Zach Rosenblatt has been on it. And here we go. So just a few minutes ago.

Chapter 2: What updates are there on the Jets' offensive coordinator search?

89.706 - 108.878 Gio

Oh, what happened? Zach Rosenblatt says, Frank Reich is in Florham Park today. Oh. Per sources. I would expect the Jets OC search to wrap up pretty soon. Oh, you said that? And then Connor Hughes said, I just talked about this on...

0

108.942 - 139.751 Gio

JFD, Jets fan daily is what my guess is going to be, was never given an indication this was falling apart, meaning the Jets and Frank Reich, and wouldn't surprise me to see the Jets add more than just him. So that means coaches on his staff, I would imagine. So this thing is nearing a close. Would you like to tell us anything else that is ambiguous and confusing? No, I didn't confuse her.

0

139.791 - 156.178 Gio

I wasn't ambiguous. I said I'd maybe go into dinner tonight in Florham Park. Hello, ambiguity? Can I get an ambiguity check in there? Ambiguity. Yes, I thought so. Come on. Well, I'm glad he's here. That's good. That's good news. Yeah, so he's here. I guess. Yeah, welcome to this beautiful area.

0

156.638 - 158.862 Boomer Esiason

Do you have him on Find Friends on your phone?

0

160.31 - 175.23 Gio

Left 360. I just look for Woody's private jet. Okay. You think you got that treatment? I don't know. For an OC? Well, the airport is like right there. Yeah, it's Morristown Airport. Yeah, it's right. I don't know. I don't know that. I have no idea.

176.712 - 187.955 Gio

Man, if they would have said Woody's playing to go get Frank for the offensive coordinator, every offensive coordinator in the league is going to be like, what in the hell? You know what? You want to be first class? Be first class. That's what I always say. Fine. I'm just saying.

187.975 - 188.516 Boomer Esiason

Don't mess around.

188.556 - 214.004 Gio

You want something? Go get it and go get it the way you want it. Okay. That's all. Sounds like Aaron Glenn really wanted it then. Huh? I'm assuming so, yeah. Will you be also flying into the Morristown airport? No. So the restaurant thing, is that for later this week or is that for something that already happened to close a deal? Because you were asking me about restaurants.

214.565 - 230.036 Gio

I was going to go out to dinner with Frank. In Florham Park? Is that okay? Oh, it's in Florham Park. You're going to go out to dinner? Yeah. Like tonight? Because he's here? Yeah, why not? Oh, okay. All right. I was just making sure. You told me you weren't being ambiguous.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Frank Reich's visit to Florham Park?

230.056 - 233.141 Gio

You were being ambiguous. I told you I was going out to dinner in Florham Park.

0

233.161 - 234.563 Unknown

Celebratory cream pie.

0

234.543 - 250.704 Gio

You did not say that. I said I was going out to dinner and I was in the first place. No, you did not. You said, I wonder if there's any nice restaurants in Florham Park. So I could go out to dinner. But you didn't say that. Now I get it. Why would I even say that I was thinking about a restaurant in Florham Park? I told you why.

0

250.724 - 267.429 Gio

Because I thought you were dropping hints that Frank might have been there like last night. Oh. Negotiating with the Jets as if, you know, like a similar John Harbaugh thing. There's no way I can predict the way that you are going to... Like, absorb the things that I say to you.

0

267.489 - 284.946 Gio

Well, yeah, but when you do the thing where you don't give me a lot of information and I got to deduce it on my own, then I'll come up with different theories. I didn't know. At that point, I didn't know Frank was in New Jersey. I thought you were deducing your ass off today. I thought you were doing a really good job deducing. I didn't think I was. I thought you were.

285.106 - 300.506 Gio

I thought you were doing a great job. I was getting stonewall left and right by you. But I feel pretty good about it now. Okay. So I will report. No, I can't. I can't report anything. I know nothing for a fact, but it does seem like it's trending in that direction.

300.526 - 314.989 Gio

And we're going to find out very soon that Frank is the OC, maybe the assistant head coach, and he's going to bring along some of his dudes. That's what it feels like. Who could some of those dudes be? Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not that, you know, I don't know.

317.973 - 320.676 Boomer Esiason

I'm Boomer Esiason. Yes, thank you.

320.876 - 346.123 Gio

You would never be on that. You're going to be the wide receiver coach. Me and Garrett Wilson are going to be working out on some drills. If there's one guy who would ask you to go and be a part of something like that, you would say yes to it would be him. But he's not going to do it because he knows I'm not going to. Yeah. But if he asked, you might feel like you had to do it. I don't know. No?

Chapter 4: How does Mike Francesa view the Seahawks' chances?

387.284 - 403.026 Gio

Yeah, I don't know about, you know, he's not thinking that way. I can tell you that right now. If this is the job for him, he's doing it to support his buddy and somebody he believes in. I can tell you that flat out without any reservation.

0

403.613 - 407.399 Unknown

Okay, so you think Woody's going to just be really committed to Glenn, at least through this season?

0

407.719 - 421.74 Gio

Well, at the moment, yes. At the moment, I don't think there's any doubt in that, but you never know. I can't tell you what's going to happen 9, 10, 12 months from now. Yeah, I feel like I can answer this question pretty well just from what Boomer has told me about Frank.

0

421.72 - 430.868 Gio

Frank is not coming here in any way, shape, or form assuming that Aaron Glenn's going to get fired so he can take over the job because that's not something that he would do.

0

431.008 - 451.525 Gio

Now, is it out of the realm of possibility that Woody Johnson, who has been impatient and not been a great owner, sees a season that is not going well, defensively especially, and then says, Aaron, I'm sorry, I'm firing you, and then goes to Frank and says, Frank, I want you to be the head coach. I'm giving you a five-year deal. And Frank says, yes, yes.

451.505 - 474.037 Gio

That's not out of the realm of possibility, but there's no way he wants to come here and see Aaron Glenn fail. There's absolutely no way. No, and by the way, thanks for the call, Chris. This is New York sports talk. This is what happens. There's conjecture all over the place. There's people trying to figure out why people are being fired or why other people are being hired.

474.097 - 502.753 Gio

But I'm just telling you, the guy I know does things for friends with a level of humility and support. And lack of backstabbing and shivving, like I've never seen before. Yeah. I'm just waiting for our first fire Frank Wright call before he was hired. He hasn't been hired yet. When's that going to happen? You know that's going to happen before they play a game.

502.773 - 533.375 Gio

And whether it was him or somebody else, that's what's going to happen. No one gets more crap than that offensive coordinator. That's true. I know. Believe me, I've warned. I've done everything I possibly can. There's negatives and positives to every job. There's plenty of dead carcasses on the road to disaster. Yeah. That was a snippet of Frank Reich's voicemail that we hacked into.

533.815 - 551.821 Gio

I think I actually did use that. Let's go to John in Binghamton. What's up, John? Boomer and Gio, hello! What's happening, Johnny? Listen, listen, I am a huge Giants fan, but Boomer, I respect the heck out of you.

Chapter 5: What are the latest developments regarding the Giants' coaching staff?

858.419 - 873.713 Gio

I mean, kind of talking about it like it's done. And if you're, I mean, it would be bizarre for you to go up to Florham Park and have a, I didn't get the job. Or maybe you are celebrating that he didn't get the job. The way you're talking about it. You don't want him to have it. Now you don't want to do it. Maybe that's a celebration. I didn't say that. I didn't.

0

874.354 - 897.649 Gio

Bottle of Dom Perignon saying, yes, you didn't take the job. You're not with the Jets. If I am having dinner with him, it's because we're friends and I haven't had dinner with him in a while. That's why. Bring this bottle of sea ice when you see him. Tell him congratulations. Here's a bottle of vodka in a plastic bottle of vodka.

0

899.097 - 908.427 Gio

By the way, I have to... Not with the stuff that got Eddie House the other day? Yes. So it's just so funny. So Mark Herman, right?

0

908.447 - 909.267 Boomer Esiason

Yeah, Bottles and Cases.

0

909.287 - 927.366 Gio

Yeah, for Bottles and Cases. Yes. Who is just a... He's been a great supporter of the foundation. We had his son in here who was like a sports prodigy. I sat with him at the Tellers event, and he's a great listener and supporter of the radio station and the foundation. And he sent in this...

927.346 - 951.81 Gio

This bottle of sea ice vodka from Bottles and Cases because he heard me talk about this being the well vodka that... The ear in was pouring into Eddie's five Bloody Marys that he sucked down in 45 minutes and then had them waffled going over to the Grand Street Tavern. So he found that funny and he sent us a bottle of sea ice, which I could drop right here. And it doesn't break.

952.15 - 978.008 Gio

Thank God that Eddie did not fall down on a snowbank. Yeah, I was holding his hand. I'd never see him again. Yeah, that would have been the end of that. It's okay. Save yourself. Uh... Like, anybody would be the guy who would be saved by a St. Bernard in that situation. Go over, open up, give him a little shot of bourbon out of its neck. Taco Frank, what's going on, Taco Frank? Good morning.

978.933 - 988.164 Unknown

Good morning, boys. Gio, quick question for you. Any chance they fly Frank all the way in, only to tell him after the meeting or during the meeting that he won't be calling the offensive plate?

988.264 - 1003.642 Gio

Yes, there is a chance because they did that with Wink Martindale. So, yes, Frank, I think that there is a small chance, although Frank probably having heard that story was a little bit more careful about flying in here to frigid New Jersey to take this job. So, yeah.

Chapter 6: What insights do callers provide about the Jets and Giants?

1104.609 - 1106.072 Gio

What is this crap? What is this?

0

1108.156 - 1112.063 CeeLo

So Wilco, why don't we play what you had on during the break there?

0

1113.511 - 1135.015 Gio

That was like some trap music there, man. You know what it was? It was an ex-post that featured Matt Martin beating people up. Oh, nice. Really? Yeah. Interesting. With that background? I believe that's what it was. Don't play it out. No, no, no, no. I wouldn't play it out loud. I was kidding. Geez. Yeah, no, you're right about that.

0

1135.055 - 1141.162 Gio

But, yeah, it was just like I think it wasn't a clean version that was being played there. Well, he didn't play a clean version.

0

1141.182 - 1141.463 Boomer Esiason

No, I know.

1141.483 - 1151.194 Gio

I just wanted to make sure it wasn't going out over the air. Running people head first into the boards. John in Rockland, what's going on, John? Hey, good morning, guys. Good morning.

1151.375 - 1172.824 Unknown

Listen, either coaching or playing for the Jets, is like dating the prom queen, but it's 12 years later. She's overweight. She's losing her hair. She has no job. She lives at home. Boomer, just tell your friend to run. Boomer, you need to tell your friend to just run.

1173.285 - 1191.54 Gio

Run as fast as you can. It's not as good as you think. John, are you a Jet fan? I'm a Giants fan, but I don't root against the Jets, if that makes sense. I don't root against the Jets. I understand. I'm the same. I don't root against the Yankees. I'm a Mets fan.

1192.662 - 1197.39 CeeLo

Yeah, but that's more show-based, I would say, right? No, it's not. I've never been that way.

Chapter 7: What humorous moments stood out during the episode?

1700.73 - 1703.074 CeeLo

And anything Marash offered. Yeah, exactly.

0

1703.094 - 1704.156 Gio

Take a charge. I like it.

0

1704.136 - 1709.464 CeeLo

Anything he offered to put out there. Evan and even Tiki shot it down to the point where Sean eventually got worked up.

0

1709.484 - 1718.458 Unknown

The guy who went to the Reds yesterday would have signed Suarez. I don't think they were ever signing him. Okay. I would have spent a little more money and given the same deal to Bo Bichette.

0

1718.879 - 1736.426 CeeLo

They weren't going to do that. Okay, but this is my point. You can't yell at me and tell me what would you have done with the money and then everyone go, well, they weren't going to. Of course they weren't going to do it because they signed Trent Grisham. That is why they weren't going to do it. Because they don't think outside the box. Hence the problem we have with Brian Cashman.

1736.666 - 1739.511 CeeLo

So, yeah, I'll just keep rattling off names. You keep telling me they weren't going to do it. No kidding.

1739.651 - 1745.82 Gio

There you go. It touched a nerve. You know what? I think we should put Sean and C-Mac in a room together and let them go at it.

1745.8 - 1751.746 CeeLo

Yeah, but I think they should. Oh, yeah, okay, because you're saying Marash is criticizing the Yankees. Oh, 100%.

1751.806 - 1753.308 Gio

And McMoneagle, of course, would defend.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts reflect on the overall coaching changes in the NFL?

2342.205 - 2353.641 Gio

Yeah, for me too. You know, you're making me run around like crazy. You don't want to like moving. I had to get up from my seat and sit in front of you. Almost pulled a quad. Yeah, I'm sure.
