JJ was at Yankee Stadium Tuesday night for the big win over the Astros, which he described as “hostile”—fans finally got to scream and yell at Houston for their cheating scandal two years ago (3:13). He also reacts to the Mets firing hitting coach Chili Davis (11:28). Next JJ chats with Mike Vaccaro of the New York Post about the Yankees’ and Mets’ long-term outlooks this season, the Knicks and Nets come playoff time, and whether he thinks the Giants or Jets have the brighter future (18:25). Then, he welcomes actor and massive Yankee fan Nick Turturro to the show for a deep dive into his fandom and a great conversation about their favorite movies (46:15). Finally, he reacts to some listener voicemails (1:20:17) and explains why the Nets dropping back-to-back games to the Bucks is a problem (1:39:31).

Plus, we always want to hear from you! Leave JJ a message on the Listener Line at 917-382-1151.
