Pete Hoffman On The Hot Seat

09 Mar 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What happens when Pete Hoffman is put on the hot seat?

0.031 - 2.915 Boomer Esiason

You mentioned the Craig thing with Pete Hoffman.

0

2.935 - 3.255 Unknown

That's right.

0

3.656 - 24.285 Boomer Esiason

Yep. So the way it worked was they allowed Pete to leave the show early Friday to fly down with Evan to make sure that they were there in time. And they did a couple of live Rico Bronya podcasts, one on Saturday from a bar out there and then one on Sunday, which is a more traditional one with the palm trees behind him. And he had... Carlos Mendoza and Aaron Boone interviews and all that.

0

25.087 - 34.404 Boomer Esiason

Now, I believe Evan was flying back at 6 a.m. Pete's flight was a little later, but Craig did make it very, very clear, and this answers your question too, Eddie. It don't matter.

0

Chapter 2: How did Craig Carton threaten Pete Hoffman's job?

34.605 - 37.53 Boomer Esiason

If he ain't here, he ain't here, and that will be a problem for Pete.

0

37.51 - 61.538 Unknown

This has to be your number one job. And you're not taking a risk by getting on a plane today and leaving the show early and then getting on a plane Monday morning with the risk. Totally not your fault. There's a hurricane in Florida. There's a goose that hits an engine. There's an old lady. I lost my teeth. And the plane's delayed. So if a goose hits the engine and I tank.

Chapter 3: What challenges did Pete face while traveling for the show?

61.598 - 66.872 Unknown

You're fired. Wow, that's like internal harassment, isn't it?

0

67.593 - 76.547 Boomer Esiason

I don't know. He better be here. He's threatening him. Yes, and he also made it very clear Connor Green is next in line. Oh, I see. Okay.

0

76.888 - 78.651 Gregg Giannotti

Do we have an HR department here still?

0

78.891 - 79.532 Boomer Esiason

I have no idea.

0

79.512 - 91.373 Unknown

So now you got Conor Green all worked up. A little lathered up. Thinking about, man, I hope Pete misses his flight. I hope something happens. Maybe he gets sick and he can't get on the plane.

91.753 - 101.466 Boomer Esiason

But I'm wondering why he wouldn't have flown with Evan this morning. Because Evan's got to be on a 10. Like, why not get on that 6 a.m. flight? He's not that bright.

Chapter 4: How did the team react to Pete missing the show?

103.891 - 106.818 Gregg Giannotti

These things that you're saying that make a lot of sense don't make sense to him.

0

107.36 - 107.861 Boomer Esiason

You know what I mean?

0

108.041 - 109.725 Gregg Giannotti

I suppose that could be one of those deals.

0

110.106 - 122.11 Boomer Esiason

Yeah, I suppose. But they made it very clear no matter what happens, if he's not here, he's gone. Yeah, a lot of things out of his control, but what was in his control was the fact that he took this trip.

0

122.411 - 135.473 Gregg Giannotti

Right, and so that's where that's at. And, like, Evan's not fired on. Evan doesn't have the balls to fire Pete Hoffman. So he could have totally blown this thing off, and Evan could have done something else and brought somebody else down there, and Pete would have been fine. He also could have come home last night.

135.453 - 135.913 Unknown

He could have.

136.334 - 145.462 Gregg Giannotti

It's true. Yeah, I mean, listen, you're the guy who knows about travel and getting back things. Stuff happens. You and Boomer are the king and king two of doing that stuff.

145.783 - 153.33 Unknown

Could you see a flip-flop of Marash and Hoff? So Hoff actually doesn't lose a paying job. He just loses it.

153.35 - 153.61 Gregg Giannotti

No.

Chapter 5: What impact does a hurricane have on travel plans?

154.851 - 158.254 Gregg Giannotti

Yeah, the feeling I have is that Craig does not like Sean. That's the feeling I get.

0

158.435 - 164.409 Unknown

Oh, okay. You might be right about that. Like Sean or CeeLo. You like CeeLo.

0

164.87 - 166.633 Gregg Giannotti

You can't wait to get that out.

0

167.214 - 188.139 Unknown

Two of them made up. I mean, it's a thing, right? I mean, let's go to Matt in Blue Point. What's going on, Matt? Hey, good morning, gentlemen. How we doing? Good. What's up, man? What do you got for us? Not too much. I know, Boomer, you always talk about foxhole guys, and this was one of your foxhole guys. But isn't it kind of crazy that Craig leaves his own show an hour early every day?

0

188.42 - 206.787 Unknown

Yeah, we've talked about that here, you know, and then he's threatening to fire people if they're late. But, you know, he did let Pete leave early on Friday. He did? A couple hours. You know, and Craig is a foxhole guy until he brings a grenade into the foxhole. That's what you always got to be worried about with those type of guys. Yeah, yeah, I know how it is.

207.83 - 220.611 Boomer Esiason

Meantime, his new partner, Chris McMoneagle, is finally starting his Yankee podcast. 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.

220.631 - 225.94 Gregg Giannotti

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

225.92 - 249.514 Gregg Giannotti

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

250 - 251.081 Unknown

Now, that would have been something.

Chapter 6: How does the new podcast 'Go Get Em' fit into the show?

251.401 - 257.326 Unknown

That's what I would have called it. Well, that's what he's going with. Unless Susan has her own podcast, goodness gracious.

0

257.647 - 268.556 Boomer Esiason

This is the Go Get Em podcast with Chris McDaniel. 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.

0

268.976 - 290.182 Unknown

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. Why not? Because I want to do the podcast no matter what. I want to keep doing it.

0

290.202 - 297.574 Unknown

But let's have some competition here. It might take some time to build it up. I've given you five months. No. The entire baseball season. They've been doing it for ten years. That means it's good.

0

300.575 - 312.099 Gregg Giannotti

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 Pete Hoppin' flying down producing the podcast.

312.119 - 314.063 Boomer Esiason

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

314.123 - 315.967 Gregg Giannotti

Yeah, but not all people are created equal here.

315.987 - 316.769 Unknown

You understand what I'm saying?

317.149 - 318.892 Gregg Giannotti

Fair. You know, it's a totem pole thing here.

Chapter 7: What are the expectations for Chris McMonagle's podcast?

337.802 - 361.961 Boomer Esiason

This is C-Mac's I Finally Get to Talk. It's a new episode of Mmm with Chris McMonagle. Mmm. Mmm. 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 and was drove off the road.

0

362.441 - 382.532 Unknown

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.

383.093 - 395.667 Unknown

Side effects include shortness of breath, insomnia, wrinkled testicles, hernias, heart attacks, slight penile bends, and strokes. Set me up for this one. I knew it as I was reading it.

0

395.787 - 424.383 Gregg Giannotti

Slight penile bend. 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 shrunken testicles.

0

425.585 - 436.64 Boomer Esiason

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?

437.902 - 439.965 Gregg Giannotti

Because you went with wrinkled testicles.

439.945 - 447.217 Boomer Esiason

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.

447.277 - 448.442 Gregg Giannotti

That was almost too easy.

448.543 - 448.764 Boomer Esiason

Right.

Chapter 8: What humorous moments arose from the fake ad read?

448.784 - 453.685 Boomer Esiason

The jetpack over Yankee Stadium. Yeah. C-Mac should know better. He really should know better.
