03 Apr 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What do Gio and Boomer miss about the All-Easter and All-Passover teams?

0.031 - 17.567 Gio

You know, something I really miss now that you're not doing the sports minutes any longer is right around this time of year, I really look forward to your All-Easter and All-Passover teams. And those All-Easter teams were special. The All-Passover teams were special as well. Did you come in today? I know you're sick.

0

18.007 - 40.41 Gio

Did you come in today and say, man, you know, shed just a little bit of a tear that you couldn't give us your All-Easter team this year? On this Good Friday, no, I have not. Okay. I did not think that way. Yeah, all right. Who was on that All-Easter team? There was some sort of bunny guy on there, right? Was it there? Like some rabbit and bunny and... Yeah.

0

40.59 - 42.512 Unknown

Fill eggs. Right, right, right.

0

42.532 - 43.954 Gio

Of the Pirates.

0

43.974 - 53.084 Boomer Esiason

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep, yep. Yeah, yeah. Manning, center field. I mean, could you do... Joey Flowers. Joey Flowers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly.

53.104 - 61.381 Gio

Could you do an All-Easter team of guys who made great comebacks? Like they rose from the dead? Yeah, could you do that?

Chapter 2: Who were some notable players on the All-Easter team?

63.043 - 64.244 Gio

Would that be something?

0

64.264 - 64.724 Boomer Esiason

I guess you could.

0

64.784 - 83.443 Gio

Do you think there's a sports talk show in America today? Is there a sports talk show in America today doing, in honor of Easter, athletes who came back from the dead? Well, I mean, athletes that were presumed done. Yeah, right. Well, obviously, we're not taking it literal here. Yes, of course.

0

83.463 - 103.044 Boomer Esiason

Because you can't do that and come back from the dead. Who is... Who are the, I guess you would say, in their career, who had the greatest comebacks at the end of their career? Something like that? The All-Easter team, yeah. The All-Easter team with comebacks. Right. What is AI telling you? Anything?

0

103.304 - 103.945 Unknown

Michael Jordan.

105.447 - 106.108 Gio

I was that right?

106.128 - 114.48 Unknown

Retired in 93, came back in 95. Tiger Woods with that. Well, 2019 Masters. Yeah, right. George Foreman.

114.646 - 115.954 Boomer Esiason

What about Jack Nicklaus?

Chapter 3: Can you create an All-Easter team based on sports comebacks?

116.094 - 118.549 Boomer Esiason

He won the Masters at age 45. 86, 1986, right?

0

119.555 - 128.904 Unknown

Yeah. No, he's not on the list. Okay. George Foreman, okay. George Foreman, you got Peyton Manning after missing a season with neck injuries, returned to win MVP in a Super Bowl.

0

128.924 - 131.869 Gio

In a Super Bowl, yeah. He could be on your old Easter team back from the dead.

0

132.25 - 140.744 Unknown

Ben Hogan, they put in there, survived a near-fatal 1949 car crash, won the 1950 U.S. Open months later.

0

141.144 - 144.67 Boomer Esiason

Could you imagine if Tiger Woods won the Masters two years from now?

144.987 - 148.893 Gio

Well, Ben Hogan was probably a young man back then in 1949. Tiger Woods.

149.014 - 155.564 Boomer Esiason

Let's say two years from now, Tiger Woods comes back and he makes a triumphant return. 52 years old? Yeah.

156.686 - 172.402 Gio

Yeah, that right there. I mean, he already made one of the great comebacks of all time in 2019 winning the Masters. I mean, if he came back from all of this two years later and won a major, I mean, my God. Yeah, of course. I don't think he may never golf again. You're telling me that he's going to win.

172.422 - 174.506 Boomer Esiason

That's why I said if it does happen.

Chapter 4: Which athletes are discussed for their significant comebacks?

190.057 - 195.946 Boomer Esiason

Until he's played on TGL. hitting balls into simulators and making a million dollars.

0

196.507 - 220.156 Gio

I still think that that counts, though. If it's an individual sport, I still think it counts. I mean, you heard Ben Hogan was on that list. George Foreman was on that list. You know? Deontay Wilder, if he comes back from all of his sagas, that would be a big comeback. Coming back, he was dead and buried. No one thought he could do it again. He rose from the dead to go in and MVP.

0

220.176 - 222.058 Boomer Esiason

And then he wiped the slate clean.

0

231.218 - 231.759 Gio

You okay?

0

232.059 - 232.279 Unknown

I am.

233.14 - 233.46 Gio

I'm good.

233.821 - 237.024 Unknown

You sure? How about this one? Magic Johnson.

Chapter 5: How did Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods exemplify comebacks in sports?

237.565 - 255.564 Gio

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Great one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He never had full-blown AIDS, though, did he? It was just the HIV that never turned into the full-blown AIDS. Yeah, I'm not too familiar with that. Pleagues full-blown AIDS for magic? You'd know. You're the sports guy.

0

255.584 - 257.006 Unknown

I don't think so. I think it was just HIV.

0

257.026 - 279.225 Gio

It was just HIV. But you had to be very careful because of the blood and the transfer, that whole deal. Says no, Magic Johnson. No full-blown AIDS. Correct. Isn't that a weird... I didn't just make that up. That was like a thing. Full-blown AIDS was the way that people would refer to it.

0

279.245 - 280.947 Boomer Esiason

He had HIV is what he had.

0

281.007 - 312.212 Gio

Right, which can turn into AIDS. But people used to use, like, he's got... Isn't that what Family Guy called it? No, it was... I mean, maybe, but I'm talking prior to that. It was a way that people would describe it. Full-blown AIDS. I remember Eazy-E, the rapper who was in N.W.A., they referred to him as having full-blown AIDS. Like, I've got a full-blown sinus infection.

312.292 - 321.904 Boomer Esiason

So do I. Yeah. But by the way, you know, so... Why would you say that? I'm thinking about that.

321.924 - 365.608 Gio

He's got full-blown sinus. I don't know why that's so funny, but it is. It's like such a serious thing to be like... Don't say full-blown anything else. He's a stage four cancer. You know, he broke his leg. But when it came to AIDS, we had to blow it up. He's got half-blown AIDS. How does this AIDS do? It's quarter of the way full. Anyway. Magic Johnson did come back from HIV and play.

367.19 - 371.255 Boomer Esiason

I don't know if... The AIDS part of it is just the advancement of the HIV.

371.275 - 372.457 Gio

Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.

Chapter 6: What insights are shared about Magic Johnson's return to basketball?

586.673 - 634.828 Gio

And Dave Eggler. Eli Marrero is at first. Why? Marrero? Eli. Oh, Eli, yeah. Is at first. Luis Batzaman's second. Come on, man. You got to give credit where credit's due. David Lamb plays short. And Elijah Green is at third. There you go, Elijah. Robbie Wine will catch starters. Ryan Karp, Harvey Shank, and Daisuke Matsuzui. Matsuzaka? Maybe Matsuzui's a different guy. Oh, my God.

0

635.629 - 664.369 Gio

I'm Boomer Esiason. There you go. Carp is a variant of carp, a fish that is an ingredient in stuffed covelta fish. Covelta fish, yes. Covelta fish. Oh, my God. And that was pre-AI, by the way. Yeah. Let's see. Did you... Oh, there is... Fleegs was just sending me... I'll have to check that out in a break. He was sending me the history of where full-blown AIDS had come from.
