SEASON 4 EPISODE 69: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump is not qualified to continue as commander in chief. Not for another five minutes. He has to resign at least that role, immediately. Trump is personally LOSING THE WAR IN IRAN. Trump is personally TURNING IRAN into INSTANT PROCESSED VIETNAM. Never mind the politics, never mind his assault on democracy, never mind his instability, never mind his corruption, never mind the details: Just MILITARILY. Just MAKING DECISIONS THAT WILL KILL AMERICAN TROOPS - Trump is NOT qualified to continue as commander in chief and he needs to resign AT LEAST his command TODAY. A week ago Trump mocked England for trying to join the war after he 'won it.' Now Trump is BEGGING England and half a dozen other countries to send ships to save him from this disaster at the Strait of Hormuz. A week ago Trump insisted Iran would NEVER CLOSE the Strait of Hormuz. Now it turns out the Iranians directly WARNED HIM they would close the Strait of Hormuz - warned him in 2019. Because it’s not just a ten dollar gallon of gas that’s coming, it’s a ten dollar STRAWBERRY. Because a third of the world’s fertilizer goes through the Strait of Hormuz, where shipping is down ooh just 97-point-4 percent. Trump is the Commander-in-Creep. Trump is the Commander-in-Cheap. Trump is the Commander-A-Sleep. He needs to turn military command over to somebody else. Because Iran could never in a million years harm this country as much as Trump is harming it right now. THE GOOD NEWS: Dick Durbin has inadvertently produced the succinct message for all Democrats and everybody else opposing Trump and the Republicans' attempt to disembowel our elections, the bill they call with bitter irony 'The Save Act.' As he explains in less than a minute, it will disenfranchise roughly 10 percent of all American voters - and generally speaking the poorer ones. This is the line we must take, and sell. Just when you thought Democratic Senators weren't worth the proverbial price of the oil required to burn them in hell. Thank you, Senator Durbin. B-Block (30:00) SPORTSBALLCENTER: How could a team retire the uniform number of a former player they had to fire as manager because of his personal moral failings ON THE FIELD OF PLAY? And yet the New York Mets are doing exactly that. (35:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Cornelius Rudd warns you of the upcoming 'Raptor.' The CBS tire fire produces hilariously bad stories about David Ellison (and Epstein), Tony Dokoupil (and a new job somewhere else), Joe Rogan, and Jeff Shell (about to get fired from yet another network presidency). And then we have one of the greatest name mistakes of all time when Brian Kilmeade gets Markwayne Mullin's stupid first name completely wrong, Pilgrim. C-Block (46:00) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: I'm making a special request for your help finding a home for two bonded senior Malteses, apparent survivors of a puppy mill, named Mai Tai and Soraya. (49:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: And at the opposite end of the moral spectrum, there's the upcoming 25th anniversary of the day Rupert Murdoch fired me from Fox for following the exact instructions his office gave me.

The guys break down a busy stretch of sports news, starting with the Giants reshaping their wide receiver room by adding Calvin Austin and Darnell Mooney. They debate what the moves mean for the offense, whether Darius Slayton could be on his way out, and why the additions could create new mismatches even if the team still targets a receiver in the draft. They also dive into the quarterback carousel after Justin Fields is traded to the Kansas City Chiefs while the Jets pivot toward Geno Smith for stability. Later, the conversation shifts to Citi Field as new construction threatens to create a parking nightmare for Mets fans. From shuttle plans and transit incentives to street-parking “secrets,” the crew shares stories, frustrations, and survival strategies for getting to the ballpark this season.

Dominican baseball fans furious over late strike calls in Team USA's win, and St. John's fans upset over what feels like a punishing NCAA tournament seed and draw. It is a fast, opinionated start that taps into the emotional fallout from a dramatic sports weekend and makes room for both outrage and analysis. The conversation centers on whether the World Baseball Classic should have used the ABS system after multiple pitches that appeared to be called incorrectly in key moments, while also debating Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, and the difficulty of deciding the “best team” in a one-game setting. The segment then shifts to college basketball, where the hosts argue that St. John's strong recent play and Big East title run were not properly rewarded, leaving fans to wonder what more the team could have done to earn a better path.

Evan and Tiki open with two fanbases that woke up furious: Dominican baseball fans convinced their team got robbed in a dramatic World Baseball Classic loss to Team USA, and St. John's fans upset after landing a No. 5 seed and a brutal NCAA tournament path despite a dominant finish to the season. The conversation jumps right into the controversial strike calls that ended the USA–Dominican game and why many believe the moment perfectly shows why baseball needs the ABS challenge system in big games. They debate Juan Soto's performance, Aaron Judge's impact, and whether a one-game elimination format can truly determine the “best team” in baseball. At the same time, Evan and Tiki break down the frustration surrounding St. John's draw, questioning how a team that just won the Big East tournament ends up staring at a gauntlet that could include Kansas, Duke, and even UConn again. Between heated reactions, passionate callers, and plenty of New York sports energy, the discussion captures why both topics had fans fired up.

A new edition of Shaun's Cinco de Luncho, the weekly countdown segment. With Friday the 13th setting the theme, Shaun counts down the dumbest superstitions people still believe—from knocking on wood and avoiding sidewalk cracks to the idea that opening an umbrella indoors brings bad luck. Evan and Tiki jump in with reactions, jokes, and their own experiences while debating why these traditions still stick around. Along the way, the conversation bounces between sports and life, including discussion about the World Baseball Classic and whether baseball can still be considered “America's sport.” With listener calls, personal stories, and plenty of spontaneous banter, the closing segment captures the loose, unpredictable energy that makes a Friday sports radio show feel like organized chaos.

The Mets are set to retire Carlos Beltran's number this year. Plus, the Niners' Bryce Huff announces his retirement to go work in...fire suppression?

Loads of different stuff this hour starting with the Mets retiring Carlos Beltran's number, followed by Bryce Huff's surprise (and surprising) retirement announcement. C-Lo is in with a Red Storm win and Bam Adebayo's defense of his 83-point game. C-Lo covers all the bases and gets to a Moment of the Day featuring Willie's random thoughts. Then we get serious with the insanity of the Darron Lee story. Plus, we end on a good note as an influencer raised enough money so a DoorDash driver could retire.

Defense Attorney Joe Tacopina joins Sid for his weekly Friday morning hit to talk about the World Baseball Classic, arguing modern pitch counts and reduced workloads make pitchers more fragile while the real injury driver is today's max-velocity approach. He shares a humorous memory of being mocked for wearing Mets jerseys while their colleague wore cowboy hats and boots, then discusses renewed excitement around St. John's basketball under Rick Pitino and plans to attend the Big East tournament. Turning to war, Tacopina says that regardless of how it began, the U.S. must finish the mission and that airstrikes can only damage Iran's nuclear program; securing enriched uranium and verifying destruction would require limited special-operations “boots on the ground.” He also criticizes NYC Mayor Eric Adams' free-speech rationale for hosting Mahmoud Khalil and cites Adams visiting a wounded perpetrator instead of a shot police officer.

What if the secret to producing great athletes wasn't early specialization or year-round competition? Today we look at Norway's Olympic success, why the World Baseball Classic is one of the best events in baseball, and a few early MLB spring training storylines. Norway's dominance at the Winter Olympics is of the most fascinating stories in sport: At the 2026 Milano-Cortina Games, Norway once again topped the medal table with 18 gold medals and 41 total medals, the highest total ever for a single Winter Games. Even more impressive — this is a country of just 5.5 million people, outperforming nations many times its size. So what's their secret? Norway has built a youth sport system around participation, joy of sport, and delayed specialization. Kids aren't ranked before age 13, and the focus is on long-term development rather than early talent selection. The result is a massive participation base — and eventually, elite performance. We also dive into the excitement building around the World Baseball Classic, one of the best international tournaments in sport. With 20 national teams competing in a round-robin format before the single-elimination playoff bracket, it's true best-on-best baseball on the global stage. And finally, we touch on a few early MLB spring training storylines: The Dodgers chasing a historic three-peat, pressure building in New York, big expectations around the Mets, and why the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners could be two teams to watch this season.

The show dives into a packed New York sports conversation, from what the Knicks' three-point numbers reveal about winning to the emotional reaction around Geno Smith potentially returning to the Jets. The hosts wrestle with a bigger question facing the franchise: is short-term competence enough, or should everything be focused on finding a true long-term future at quarterback? The episode also covers Carlos Beltran's Mets legacy and why his number retirement feels significant despite the complications surrounding his career, plus a lively interview with Carl Banks on Giants culture, offseason moves, Evan Neal, and the mindset John Harbaugh's influence could bring. Add in debate over Team USA's approach to the World Baseball Classic and whether American players are treating it with the same urgency as other countries, and the result is a fast-moving episode full of strong opinions, fan frustration, and big-picture New York sports talk.

In this edition of Cinco de Luncho with Shaun Morash, the crew dives into one of the most entertaining thought experiments in New York sports: the most surprising athlete returns to local teams. From unforgettable breakups to shocking reunions, the list sparks debate about which comebacks truly stunned fans across the city. The conversation runs through names like Mark Messier, Bobby Bonilla, Javier Vázquez, and Geno Smith before expanding into modern hypotheticals. Could Saquon Barkley ever return to the Giants? Would Juan Soto going back to the Yankees be shocking? And which fan base would react the loudest if a former star suddenly came back? It's a classic Cinco countdown packed with nostalgia, arguments, and plenty of New York sports drama.

Carl Banks interview that mixes nostalgia with real football insight. Banks discusses the Big East starter event, then dives into the Giants' offseason identity, why he likes the physical tone of the roster moves, what John Harbaugh's football-first mindset could mean, and why Evan Neal still deserves one more real look. Along the way, the show also touches on Carlos Beltran's complicated but Hall of Fame-worthy Mets legacy, making this a packed opening stretch with strong opinions and plenty of New York energy.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the latest drama surrounding the World Baseball Classic, after Evan uncovers what he believes is a suspicious bracket setup. As Team USA advances with help from Team Italy, the conversation turns to how the tournament determines its semifinal matchups and why the United States and Japan are seemingly placed on opposite sides. Is it truly about geography, or is it a strategic move designed to guarantee the biggest possible matchup later in the tournament? The show also branches into a debate about how seriously Team USA takes the WBC compared to other countries, with players from places like the Dominican Republic and Japan showing noticeably more passion. Evan and Tiki then pivot to the New York Knicks grinding out a comeback win on the road and the complicated legacy of Carlos Beltrán as the New York Mets prepare to retire his number. The episode wraps with fan calls, including a memorable moment from an 11-year-old listener skipping school to attend the Big East Tournament with his dad.

A packed hour starts with the stunning return of Evan Neal to the Giants and a heated debate over whether John Harbaugh has earned blind trust from fans. The conversation digs into Neal's disappointing career arc, the possibility of a move to guard, and why this low-cost signing still feels like a massive perception test for a franchise trying to turn the page. The show also bounces around a busy sports day with reaction to the Knicks' comeback win in Utah, frustration over the World Baseball Classic bracket, and discussion of Carlos Beltran's complicated Mets legacy after news that his number will be retired. It's a lively mix of Giants skepticism, baseball passion, and classic New York sports talk energy.

From the pregame comments to the lineup choices, they debate whether DeRosa simply misspoke or flat-out failed in a huge spot. The guys also get into the confusing WBC tiebreakers, why Team USA still hasn't fully sold America on caring about this tournament, and why this kind of mistake is impossible to ignore.

Evan and Tiki react to Team USA's World Baseball Classic loss and the wild reactions that followed from Mets and Yankees fans. The guys break down Nolan McLean's up-and-down outing, Aaron Judge striking out as the tying run, and whether some of the takes flying around social media and WFAN are completely out of control. They also debate the early McLean vs. Cam Schlittler conversation and why small sample sizes can spark huge arguments. Later, the show shifts to the Giants and the upcoming draft, including whether positional value really matters or if teams should simply draft long-term contributors. The hour also circles back to Geno Smith and his career arc, including the frustrations in Las Vegas and why, despite everything, he can still look back on his NFL career with pride.

van and Tiki open with a takedown of Mark DeRosa after Team USA's chaotic World Baseball Classic loss, questioning how the manager could misread the tournament scenario so badly.

While sitting along the left field line in Port St. Lucie, Evan suddenly finds himself face to face with former Mets owner Fred Wilpon… and the interaction takes a bizarre turn involving a half-eaten sandwich.
