Mullsy is duking it out with someone from the McAfee Show. He's tired of the dough-eyed optimism surrounding Will Howard before he ever throws a pass in the NFL.

The 4th and final hour of Evan & Tiki is packed with Jets drama and classic WFAN chaos. Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic joins to break down the reported Jon Gruden phone call with the Jets, who made the call, Aaron Glenn's shaky footing, Woody Johnson's involvement, and the uncertain plan at offensive coordinator and quarterback. Plus, calls on the Rangers vs Islanders rivalry, Knicks history debates, Mets vs Yankees lineup arguments, WWE Royal Rumble predictions, and a hilarious edition of Idiots With Idioms to close out the show.

Hour 2 opens with Jon Gruden finally addressing the rumor mill on Tampa sports radio, flatly saying there was “never anything” from the New York Jets. Evan and Tiki Barber dig into what that actually means, parsing the difference between an “offer” versus contact through agents, friends, or back channels, and why the wording can be technically true while still avoiding the full story. They also push back hard on fans dismissing credible reporting, defending Diana Russini and Zack Rosenblatt and explaining how information can be real while still being shaped by the motivations of whoever leaked it. The conversation turns into a bigger question: who benefits from the Gruden chatter being out there, and could it make Aaron Glenn look better or worse depending on what gets pinned on him versus Woody Johnson? Then the show takes a left turn into comedy when a caller, Ozzie from Woodridge, “bullies” both Evan and Shaun about their hair on YouTube, leading to on-air style changes, hat reveals, and plenty of roasting. On the phones, the Malik Willis conversation heats up with callers pitching him as a real Jets swing, plus trade ideas and fear that he ends up elsewhere. The hour closes by pivoting to the NBA trade deadline drama: how a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo move could ripple into a New York Knicks decision on Karl-Anthony Towns, why Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors keep getting mentioned, and the ultimate high-risk debate: is Anthony Davis worth the gamble if you are chasing a title?

Jon Gruden finally addresses the Jets rumor on Tampa sports radio, saying there was “never anything” from the New York Jets. Evan and Tiki Barber break down the wording and explain how this can turn into a semantics game, offer versus contact, agent versus direct call, and why reports can be true even when the details get twisted. They also defend Diana Russini and Zack Rosenblatt from the “they're making it up” crowd, while admitting everyone involved has motivations when stories leak. Then the segment takes a hilarious detour when Ozzie from Woodridge bullies Evan into changing his hair and bullies Shaun into hiding under a winter hat on YouTube, leading to an on-air reveal and plenty of roasting before the calls keep rolling.

Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic joins the show to address Jon Gruden publicly denying the Jets rumor and makes it crystal clear: he stands by his reporting that the New York Jets made a phone call to gauge interest, not that they offered him a job. Zack explains why Gruden might be playing semantics, why it may not benefit him to embarrass a team, and how stories like this get distorted once they hit the rumor mill. From there, the conversation turns to the Jets larger plan, or lack of one. Zack says the offensive coordinator search has been messy and shifting, but he still believes Frank Reich is the most likely landing spot because he would function as the “head coach of the offense,” allowing Aaron Glenn to focus on defense. They also dig into the quarterback problem, the thin list of realistic options, and why the Jets are stuck between short-term band-aids and a long-term rebuild. Finally, Zack tackles the biggest fear Jets fans have: Woody Johnson getting too involved as pressure mounts. He describes how quickly the internal plan seemed to change, why the coaching staff decisions scream disarray, and how the Jets are being mocked around the league in a way he has not seen during his time covering the team. The interview ends with the blunt question of whether this job is becoming toxic, and what happens next if the Jets stumble again.

The conversation picks up on the Jon Gruden storyline with Evan laying out why, if the idea truly came from ownership, it would signal just how desperate the New York Jets might be. Evan argues that if Jon Gruden ever returns to coaching, it would take both money and real power, and the Jets might be the only team willing to hand him the keys to the franchise. The crew also discusses the unspoken reality that any team openly embracing Gruden could face quiet backlash from the rest of the league, even if fans never see it publicly. From there, the phones flip the segment toward hockey and New York sports pride. Callers gush over Matthew Schaefer, with bold claims that he is already the new king of New York sports. Evan pushes back on the hype, agreeing Schaefer is special but cautioning against crowning dynasties after a few months, which turns into a heated back and forth about prospects, sure things, and why fans always protect their own guys. The segment closes with a classic Knicks history argument as callers debate who really kept the New York Knicks from winning a championship in the 1990s. Evan breaks down why both Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon were roadblocks, but draws a clear distinction with LeBron James, arguing LeBron never haunted the Knicks the way Jordan did, and that the lingering resentment toward him says more about fan emotion than actual history.

We try to figure out what the position is and what it means and why they hired who they did. We also get into Jon Gruden on a Tampa radio station saying there was no offer from the Jets.

Nick Kostos reacts to Bill Polian's comments saying he had nothing to do with Bill Belichick being snubbed as a Hall of Famer. Plus, Nick laughs at the Jets asking to interview Jon Gruden.
