Evan Roberts was back on the air today after an unplanned day off…and hours before he returned, apparently, the scuttlebutt was that Evan took a sick day because of the Mets?
“Al tells me that he heard Evan was off yesterday, and the explanation that they gave was that he'd been doing too many Rico Brogna podcasts,” Gio said. “I’m like, that can’t be right?”
“What? He’s a sports talk host for this radio station and that Rico Brogna thing he does on his own,” Boomer said. “I wondered where he was yesterday!”
Gio listened to the open of yesterday’s Evan & Tiki show where Shaun Morash kinda sorta but didn’t really say that was true, but, that’s kind of what they heard?
“I’m hearing this like he is out because he's worn out from all the late nights and the games and the Ricos; that’s what they're presenting to us, right?” Gio asked.
That’s what Al thought, too, but THE Eddie Scozzare says ‘there’s nothing there.’
“You are the guy for decades that used to tell us that we had labia if we did not come into work, for being legitimately sick,” Gio said to Eddie. “So the lead guy on the afternoon show decides that he’s worn out?”
“Different conversation, could have been a voice thing,” Eddie said, which Jerry corroborated by thinking Shaun and Tiki were just having a little fun at Evan’s expense.
Presentation is as important as anything, and of course scuttlebutt king Gio was going to look into it and found out Evan might be on some kind of medicine…but not before Jerry had one last shot:
“You’re talking to the wrong people; I don’t want to hear about fatigue,” Jerry said. “Take that and stick it where the sun don’t shine!”
