The final hour of Evan & Tiki is packed with baseball, football, and classic New York sports banter. Evan and Tiki react to a whirlwind MLB offseason, including the Mets' aggressive moves for Freddy Peralta, Luis Robert Jr., and Bo Bichette, and debate whether Peralta is a risky rental or a long-term building block. The Yankees' decision to retain Cody Bellinger sparks further discussion about roster construction and championship expectations in a Dodgers-dominated league.
Hour 2 starts with the crew wrapping up their MLB Free Agency Bingo board, with only one final name left on the list and plenty of laughs at who nailed predictions like Cody Bellinger and who completely whiffed. Then the conversation shifts into the big-picture question: what do Vegas win totals say about the Yankees and Mets right now, and do those numbers match reality? Evan explains why he would have been far more comfortable paying a premium for an elite like Tarik Skubal than a “really good” Freddy Peralta, and why the “five-inning pitcher” label matters when you are giving up top prospects. Calls pour in debating whether the Mets should push Peralta deeper into games, whether an extension is actually possible, and whether this whole plan is a smart year-to-year build or just living on rentals. Plus: a wild Jets caller tries to “grease the wheels” for a Josh Allen fantasy, the guys roast the sad state of Jets fandom, and a fan checks in with life updates that send the show down an unexpectedly funny path. And to close the hour, the crew dives into pronunciation chaos, including a pitcher clarifying how to actually say his name, and a Drury joke that deserved better timing.
It's late January, almost every MLB domino has fallen, and the crew pulls out the Free Agency Bingo board to see who actually knew what they were talking about. They relive the Cody Bellinger call, admit who got played, and set the stage for the final remaining free agent while arguing about whether trades should even count in the game. Then Evan doubles down on the biggest Mets debate: why paying a premium for “really good” Freddy Peralta is not the same as paying up for a true monster like Tarik Skubal. The “five-inning pitcher” label gets thrown on the table, the Peralta vs Skubal comparison heats up, and the Mets' long-term plan gets questioned again. Plus, the phones go sideways. A Jets caller tries to “grease the wheels” for a Josh Allen trade fantasy, the guys roast how dark it has gotten for Jets fans, and a caller checks in with a life update, a joke, and a Mets reality check that turns into a full-blown offseason therapy session.

The hour centers on what comes next for the Giants now that John Harbaugh is in place, with the spotlight firmly on coordinator hires and staff building. The guys react to Harbaugh's comments about Rex Ryan, debate how realistic a return to the sideline would be after a decade away, and whether Harbaugh's presence changes that equation. From there, it turns into a full breakdown of ideal coordinator fits, including why Harbaugh's credibility gives the Giants access to top tier candidates. Names like Todd Monken, Anthony Weaver, Jim Leonhard, and Antonio Pierce come up as the discussion shifts to scheme, quarterback development, and long term vision. Jets fans also get pulled into the conversation, especially around potential crossover candidates and rivalry tension, as callers weigh in on what a successful Giants staff could look like and why these decisions may define the entire era.
It starts with the absurdity of modern sports news: reporters at an intro press conference, waiting for their phones to light up with the real headline. While fans are tracking every Yankees move (and Mets fans are locked into the latest Mets storyline), the crew questions why teams even stage the big production when one notification can steal the entire spotlight. Then the tone shifts to the Knicks, who suddenly look like a mess: bad effort, bad vibes, and the kind of body language that makes fans wonder if the locker room is fractured or if the team has checked out on the coach. The Josh Hart on Jimmy Fallon debate becomes the lightning rod, with one simple question at the center: should players keep living their lives when the team looks like it's collapsing? From there it opens up to calls, including a Jets fan dealing with furious Buffalo relatives over Sean McDermott being fired, and a bigger Jets dilemma: do you really want to draft a quarterback who's literally suing for another year because he isn't ready? The segment wraps with real worry, real laughs, and the kind of New York chaos that never takes a day off.
The NFL coaching carousel takes another unexpected turn as Mike McDaniel lands with Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers, choosing Justin Herbert over other potential landing spots. Evan, Tiki, and Shaun break down why quarterback fit matters more than anything for offensive minds and why certain franchises remain coaching dead ends. From there, the focus shifts to the Bills' underwhelming head coaching search, Brian Daboll's growing appeal, and whether Buffalo moved too quickly at the wrong moment. The conversation then explodes into draft season chaos, with a deep debate on how far teams should go to trade up for a franchise quarterback, why offensive line concerns should not stop you from taking the guy, and how recent playoff performances change evaluations overnight. The segment wraps with spirited calls, Jets and Giants tension, and a bigger question facing every front office right now: when you believe in the quarterback, is any price really too high?
Scott Mason talks Jets 2026 offseason with former right hand man to Gerry Reese in the Giants' front office and current NFL Network analyst, Marc Ross!

Jets fan Rich weighs in on the New York Jets' options at quarterback via trade, free agency and the NFL Draft, and says why Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders would be wise to draft Indiana's Fernando Mendoza with the #1 overall pick this spring. ESPN's Chris Fowler and Rich break down Indiana's College Football Playoff national championship win led by Heisman Trophy-winning QB Fernando Mendoza and Head Coach Curt Cignetti, why the Miami Hurricanes will be in the mix for a natty again next season, and if there needs to be new criteria for selecting the CFP field and if that field should be expanded to more than 12 teams.

The segment opens with a bold declaration that if the Brooklyn Nets beat the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, Mike Brown could be fired almost immediately. The guys debate how real that scenario is, why this moment feels different from past Knicks slides, and whether ownership is nearing a breaking point with a team that entered the season with championship expectations. The conversation quickly turns into a deep dive on Karl-Anthony Towns, his trade value, his on court frustrations, and the growing belief that he is not respected around the league or even fully protected internally. Callers weigh in on whether dumping KAT actually improves the roster or simply removes a problem from the locker room. From there, the show widens to New York sports big picture talk, comparing this Knicks chaos to past transformational hires like Pat Riley and Bill Parcells, and why those moments mattered. The segment also detours into Jets talk, including why elite coaches gravitate toward stability and quarterbacks, and why the Giants job clearly beat the Jets in this cycle. All of it plays out with one major backdrop looming over the hour: the anticipation building at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center as Giants fans wait to hear from John Harbaugh, with the optimism around the Giants standing in stark contrast to the dysfunction unfolding at MSG.

It's 2009 in Fairview, North Carolina. Two teenage cousins are hanging out in a treehouse ten feet off the ground, stereo playing Elton John's "Benny and the Jets" into the cool fall night. Then, right around the third "Benny," time seems to stop. A massive finger, easily twelve inches long and covered in matted gray-brown fur with a thick black talon, slides through the cracks in the floorboards. Not frantically. Methodically. Back and forth. Whatever was attached to that finger was standing on the ground below, which means this thing had to be enormous. The boys froze, paralyzed by a fear Blake describes as primordial. Something deep in his DNA telling him there was no escape, no fight, just freeze and hope.But that's just the beginning. Blake's story opens up into a lifetime of strange encounters across the Carolina mountains: precognitive dreams that run in his Cherokee family line, a UFO sighting that vanished the moment it knew it was being watched, and a bizarre vision of a Native American chief named Timbo that he never went looking for. We dig into what makes North Carolina such a thin place, the connection between curiosity and intelligence in these creatures, and why Blake believes these encounters, terrifying as they are, have only deepened his walk with Christ. This one's got Bigfoot, orbs, little people lore, and a whole lot of Appalachian strangeness. Want to listen to this episode and an entire back catalog of exclusive members-only content?
