Podcasts about Tiki

he clock is ticking on Breece Hall and the Jets have three options: long-term extension, transition tag, or the full franchise tag. Evan and Tiki break down why the franchise tag may be the safest move, why the transition tag could spark drama, and why letting him sniff free agency would be a mistake. Is Hall the best running back available right now? The guys compare him to draft prospects like Jeremiah Love and debate whether the Jets can afford to gamble on a rookie instead of locking up a proven 24-year-old weapon. Then it gets wild. The Jets quarterback room is about to be completely rebuilt. Evan unveils his QB Big Board and the predictions fly: Is Kirk Cousins really in play? Would Geno Smith circle back to New York? Could Derek Carr reunite with Aaron Glenn? Is Kenny Pickett the long-term backup play? From bold predictions to full-on chaos, Evan and Tiki each lock in their two veteran QB picks for 2026 and invite Jets fans to do the same. Plus: unearthed audio from Tiki's draft day and a vintage Evan Roberts sports update you have to hear to believe. Jets drama. QB roulette. Cap space chess. It's all here.

The Jets reportedly franchise tag Breece Hall, and the guys break down why New York chose the franchise tag over the transition tag, what it means for a long-term extension, and why they're convinced Breece will play. Then the conversation shifts to the World Baseball Classic, where Paul Skenes' “close second to military service” quote sparks a heated debate about tone, timing, and representing your country. They compare Skenes to Tarik Skubal's one-start plan and why fans hate the “mercenary” vibe, plus a caller currently in the military weighs in. Later, it's rapid-fire breaking news: a PED suspension report involving Jurickson Profar, and a stunner from the NFL world as the Seahawks are not expected to tag Kenneth Walker, potentially impacting the Giants' plans. The hour also features a spirited Giants discussion (including the “LOL Giants” argument), a wild trip into the WFAN archives with old Lakers-Rockets Game 7 stringer updates, and a Mets first base debate that has Brett Baty emerging as the surprising innings leader. Plus: East Coast vs West Coast fan culture, Dodger Stadium horror stories, and plenty of classic Evan and Tiki chaos along the way.

Evan and Tiki react to rumors the Giants have interest in Kenneth Walker and drafting Jeremiah Love at No. 5 is real strategy or total smoke. Tiki explains why judging John Harbaugh's entire plan off one roster rumor is shortsighted, while Evan argues Giants fans might be trapped in Saquon PTSD and need to see the bigger picture. Then the show turns to the Jets and the QB debate, before breaking news drops: the Jets place the franchise tag on Breece Hall, locking him in for 2026 while extension talks continue. Plus: Posted & Toasted returns, the guys weigh in on the criticism of Aaron Judge's Team USA WBC speech, and they tease a Paul Skenes comment that is about to rub a lot of people the wrong way, along with a Knicks stat that shows how different this year's team is.

It's Cinco de Luncho time, and this list goes global. With the NFL expanding internationally, the guys draft their Top 5 dream international destinations to host a game, and the debate gets wild. From St. Andrews in Scotland to Athens, Greece, Jasper National Park in Canada, the pyramids of Giza, and even Pompeii with Mount Vesuvius in the background, every pick sparks strong reactions. Tiki shuts down the Athens hype in a hurry, Venice catches a stray, and Iceland somehow enters the chat. It's scenic backdrops, golf trips disguised as football weekends, and pure lunchtime chaos as the NFL goes worldwide.

The Jets are at a crossroads with Breece Hall and Evan and Tiki lay out the three paths: contract extension, transition tag, or franchise tag. Which move keeps him happy? Which move guarantees he stays? And which move opens the door to unnecessary drama? The guys explain why the franchise tag might be the safest option, why the transition tag could backfire, and why letting Hall test the market would be playing with fire. Is he the best running back available right now, even compared to draft names like Jeremiah Love? And how much does his age and production matter when projecting the next four years? Then the conversation shifts to the quarterback room. The Jets are almost certainly adding multiple QBs. So who will they be?

With Breece Hall's situation still looming, the focus shifts fully to the Jets quarterback overhaul. Evan, Tiki and the crew lock in their official predictions for the two veteran quarterbacks the Jets will add before the draft. Is this about finding a true starter or building a bridge room like the Giants did last year? Tiki doubles down on Kirk Cousins as the cleanest fit and pairs him with Kenny Pickett as the long-term backup play. Evan sticks with Derek Carr as the 2026 starter and predicts a developmental swing with Will Levis. Rosie throws out a reunion with Geno Smith plus Marcus Mariota. They debate upside versus stability, whether Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey can afford another short-term fix, and how much cap space factors into the equation. Is this about winning now or building correctly for once? Then it's pure nostalgia. The guys unveil vintage audio of Tiki's draft night, including the original Mel Kiper breakdown of Tiki Barber coming out of Virginia. How accurate was the scouting report? What did they say about his size, speed and projection? And how different was draft coverage back then compared to today? Jets future. Giants history. Quarterback roulette. And a throwback moment you won't hear anywhere else.

Evan and Tiki break down the growing buzz around the Giants potentially upgrading the running back room, including interest in Kenneth Walker and the possibility of drafting Jeremiah Love at No. 5. Is this a real shift in philosophy under John Harbaugh, or just classic pre-draft smoke? Tiki pushes for patience and perspective, arguing fans cannot judge the entire hire off one rumor, while Evan wonders if Giants Nation is still reacting emotionally from the Saquon era. They debate Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy, roster construction, and why taking a running back might actually make more sense than people want to admit.

Breaking news hits live: the New York Jets place the franchise tag on Breece Hall. Evan and Tiki react to the move, explain why it was the obvious play, and debate whether a long term extension should still be the priority. The conversation shifts to the Jets quarterback philosophy. Do you swing for a lottery ticket and risk bottoming out again, or prioritize competence and stability to change the perception around the franchise? The guys argue whether incremental progress actually matters in the NFL. Plus, Aaron Judge faces criticism for his Team USA World Baseball Classic speech. Was it really that bad, or was he put in an impossible spot? Evan and Tiki give their honest reaction. They also tease a Paul Skenes comment that could rub fans the wrong way and preview a Knicks stat that proves this team feels very different from last season.

Evan opens the segment in full vacation mode, laid out in 85-degree weather doomscrolling… and stumbles onto an absolutely wild story: Shia LaBeouf claiming Mike Piazza rejected him for an autograph around 90 times as a kid. The guys react to Piazza's “tough sign” reputation, debate athlete obligations to fans, and Tiki basically turns it into a master class on why he always signed for kids and almost never said no. Then Evan dares the audience to call in with a story of Tiki turning someone down, and of course it backfires immediately. Callers flood in with the opposite: Tiki waiting around to sign a jersey, taking photos, being gracious, and generally proving he's the anti-Piazza. And because it's Evan & Tiki, the segment goes completely off the rails when Evan's back pain becomes on-air content. In a moment that has to be seen on YouTube to believe, Tiki agrees to help Evan put on a giant BioFreeze patch… and Evan directs him to place it basically on his ass. It's uncomfortable, hilarious, very WFAN, and it ends with Tiki warning him not to touch his eyes or anything else afterward because of the menthol. The segment then pivots back toward football as a caller tries to talk Giants and problem-solve the Jets by comparing injury history and coaching, but the real headline is simple: Piazza gets roasted, Tiki gets praised, and Evan turns pain management into performance art.

Evan & Tiki react to the Giants suddenly going from “boring offseason” to full chaos mode, with rumblings about taking a running back at No. 5 and even chatter linking them to Kenneth Walker. The guys debate whether it's all a distraction play or a real shift under John Harbaugh, and what “shocking” roster moves could actually be on the table, from big-name trades to a total culture reset. Then it turns into a full-blown argument over the viral Aaron Glenn combine clip, with Tiki defending him and Evan refusing to let the Jets get piled on for something he says never happened. Plus: calls on Kayvon trade talk, draft priorities, Breece Hall contract anxiety, and a quick spin through the Knicks statement win and the Islanders rookie breakout that has New York sports fans buzzing.

It starts with the Mets, and Ron Darling absolutely bringing the hammer down on how the rotation should be handled. With six healthy starters, Evan and Tiki debate the five-man vs six-man dilemma, whether the Mets should stop “building around” Cody Singer, and how Mendoza can keep everyone on schedule without costing Nolan McClain or Freddy Peralta starts. Plus, Evan pitches his favorite spring solution: the “tag team/piggyback” approach to steal innings, protect arms, and keep the season plan flexible. Clay Holmes, new pitches, and spring training experimentation all get the microscope. Then it turns into a spring training etiquette war after Cardinals radio broadcasters go at Juan Soto for not running out a pop-up. Is it lazy, smart, or completely meaningless in March? Evan and Tiki argue the hypocrisy, the injury risk, and whether this stuff ever matters when the games count. Next, Chris Carino drops a take so wild it derails the segment: Devin Williams gives up a homer on his first pitch as a Met and suddenly gets hit with a “Ben Simmons” comparison. Evan recoils, Tiki debates it, and the conversation turns into a mix of Mets panic, Yankees baggage, and the reality of relievers trying new stuff in spring training.

Ron Darling's blunt assessment of the rotation. With six healthy starters, is it finally time to stop building around Cody Singer and lock into a traditional five-man plan? The guys break down the risk of a six-man rotation, how it could cost Nolan McClain and Freddy Peralta valuable starts, and why Carlos Mendoza has a season-defining decision to make before Opening Day. Evan also pushes his favorite compromise: a “tag team” piggyback strategy that could maximize depth while protecting arms. Then spring training drama hits. Cardinals broadcasters call out Juan Soto for not running out a pop-up, and Evan and Tiki go at it over whether hustle even matters in March. Is it lazy optics, smart injury prevention, or fake outrage from a meaningless game in Jupiter? Plus, a quick look at Clay Holmes' development, pitchers experimenting with new stuff, and why nothing you see right now should cause panic… yet.

With Shaun out, Evan and Tiki hand the reins to WFAN glue guy Paul Rosenberg for a historic first: his own Cinco de Luncho. Rosie delivers a wildly entertaining (and very questionable) list of the most important No. 48s in New York sports history… and yes, it includes a Mets playoff villain, Yankees debates, a teenage hockey phenom climbing the ranks in real time, and even a Westminster Dog Show champion because, technically, it happened at MSG. The guys react to every pick, argue Andrew Miller vs Anthony Rizzo vs Paul Goldschmidt, marvel at how rare the number 48 is in basketball, and crown Jacob deGrom as the undisputed king of the number. They also uncover the family story behind Matthew Schaefer's jersey, discuss why Carson Benge's eventual number could become iconic, and spiral into classic WFAN territory with Nimmo slander, dog show trivia, and callers suggesting better omissions from the list.

The conversation pivots from teenage legends to present-day chaos, starting with a caller-driven breakdown of the Giants' cap situation and looming free agent exodus. Despite the perception that Big Blue has money to burn, the roster could look dramatically different simply by not re-signing a long list of starters. Tiki explains why projecting offensive linemen to new positions is one of the toughest evaluations in football and why “cap space” is often more flexible than fans think. Then the show dives back into the viral Aaron Glenn combine moment, with callers offering everything from film-analysis explanations to outright comedy theories about what really happened. NFL news interrupts the debate with a surprise: David Montgomery traded to the Houston Texans, creating a new backfield tandem and raising questions about Detroit's long-term financial priorities and roster decisions. The segment closes with rapid-fire calls on draft sleepers, trade fallout, and injury concerns around key players, capturing the full unpredictable energy of a mid-morning New York sports talk hour.

Fiery debate over the viral Aaron Glenn combine clip that had Jets fans and media buzzing. Did he actually fall asleep, or is this another case of piling on the Jets for clicks? Evan passionately defends Glenn while Tiki isn't buying it, sparking a classic WFAN-style back-and-forth about narratives, fairness, and why everything involving the Jets gets magnified. Plus, concern grows over Breece Hall's contract situation as the franchise tag deadline looms. Would tagging him trigger a social media meltdown? Could a deal get done in time? The guys also field calls on draft priorities, potential roster shakeups, and how both New York teams are navigating a pivotal offseason as free agency approaches.

Evan, Tiki & Shaun Morash on the latest power dynamics of the Giants front office.

We're popping up in your feed with a special Black History Month episode of The Horrorcraft Podcast — and this one is all about the legendary Tales from the Hood.

Shaun and Tiki break down the idea of trading for Tremaine Edmunds and why adding a proven veteran linebacker could stabilize a young defense, especially with major turnover expected at the position. They examine Bobby Okereke's future, the value of experience on a rebuilding roster, and why Edmunds could still have several productive years left. The conversation then shifts to the Giants' No. 5 pick and the ongoing running back chatter, with the guys arguing the team has far bigger needs than adding another ball carrier. Is this pick better used on defense, the offensive line, or by moving down to gain assets? Plus, a heated discussion on Caleb Downs' value as a potential game-changing safety, the roster's true weaknesses, and quick Hall of Fame thoughts on Brandon Marshall and London Fletcher.

Full Show: The Giants could trade Kayvon Thibodeau, Aaron Glenn gets a little sleepy at the Combine, the Mets have their Opening Day starter, Tiki discusses space travel and aliens, and much more.

Are the Giants actually listening on Kayvon Thibodeaux at the Combine, and if so, what's the real return that makes it worth it? Shaun and Tiki break down why dumping Kayvon for a Day 3 pick feels like malpractice, why waves of pass rush matter, and what a smarter player-for-player deal could look like. Then the conversation expands into other names floating around the league: Tremaine Edmunds as a potential linebacker fix, Sam LaPorta as a dream weapon for a young QB, and why Jeremiah Love at No. 5 screams smokescreen. Plus, callers weigh in on Caleb Downs, the Giants' real needs (LB, CB, OT), and the risk of “luxury picks” when you're not good enough yet.

After Jermaine Johnson was dealt, rumors swirl that Kayvon Thibodeaux could be next. Shaun and Tiki react to Connor Hughes' report from the Combine, debating whether Kayvon is truly expendable or still a crucial piece of a dominant pass-rush rotation. They discuss his production drop, injury concerns, draft expectations, and why great Giants defenses always featured waves of edge rushers. Plus, what kind of return would actually make sense? The guys explore potential player-for-player scenarios, including linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and tight end Sam LaPorta, while callers weigh in on leadership, run defense struggles, coaching impact, and whether trading Kayvon for picks would be a massive mistake.

Rumors swirl that the Giants could target Notre Dame star Jeremiah Love with the fifth overall pick, but Shaun and Tiki aren't buying it. They break down why drafting a running back that high makes little sense for a team that already has a top rushing attack and bigger roster holes, and why the chatter feels like a classic trade-down smokescreen. Plus, callers debate whether Love could help protect Jaxson Dart, how Abdul Carter should be deployed defensively, and why building around the trenches still matters more than adding another skill player. Is Big Blue setting up a move back in the draft, or is this the start of another Saquon-style debate?

John Murray, Ian Dennis & Ali Bruce-Ball talk football, travel & language. There's breaking news on how to pronounce Taty Castellanos, hear from the voice of the 'corpsing classifieds' and TCV goes musical.

Just weeks after a clean bill of health, Giancarlo Stanton's shocking admission about his elbow pain has Yankees fans on edge. If he “can't open a bag of chips,” how can he swing a bat for a full season? Evan and Tiki react to Stanton's revealing quotes, Aaron Boone's defense of his toughness, and what this really means for the Yankees' lineup plans. Plus, the Yankees quietly add veteran Randal Grichuk to the mix. Is it simple bench depth, or a sign the team is bracing for Stanton to miss significant time? The conversation expands to Jason Domínguez, Spencer Jones, and whether this injury could fast-track the youth movement in the Bronx. Is Stanton being heroic… or is this a warning sign the Yankees can't ignore?

The Jets make a bold defensive move, sending Jermaine Johnson to Tennessee and bringing in massive nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat as the franchise pivots toward a new scheme. With Robert Saleh reunited with Johnson and Aaron Glenn installing his vision, Shaun and Tiki break down what this deal says about the Jets' long-term plan. Are the Jets shifting to a 3–4 front? Does this lock in a defense-first draft strategy with the No. 2 pick? Plus, the quarterback question still looms. Should the Jets focus on building an elite defense now and target the loaded QB class next year, or is that too risky in today's NFL? A deep dive into the trade, the scheme change, the draft implications, and whether this finally gives the Jets a clear identity heading into the season.

A diehard Jets fan admits it: Aaron Glenn's combine comments sound like empty hype, while GM Darren Mougey comes off confident, direct, and trustworthy. Tiki explains why credibility changes when you have real success behind you, and why “play-calling is my superpower” could either become a rallying cry or a punchline. Plus: the Wink Martindale rumor, the Woody Johnson trust problem, and why the only thing that truly fixes “LOL Jets” is winning actual games.

Tiki and the crew hit the QB carousel chatter (Rodgers fatigue included), debate the real value of this year's wide receiver buzz, and dig into whether Max Crosby trade smoke is actually real or just a Tom Brady conversation away from disappearing. Then the local angle heats up with Jets franchise tag talk for Breece Hall and why a transition tag makes way more sense than the non-exclusive tag. They also touch the new head coach era with John Harbaugh and Mike McCarthy at the podium, the “Mendoza mania” storyline that might be nothing, and the draft question that could define this class: will there be a second quarterback in Round 1, or are we staring at a rare one QB first round scenario? Finally, they get into Jeremiah Love and how high is too high for a running back, even if he's a top tier talent.

Shaun and Tiki break down the latest news from the NFL Combine, thoughts on the Jets QB situation, Giants and Jets draft forecasting, Shaun says he is not un-patriotic, and much more.

A Mets legend drops a bombshell. Darryl Strawberry says Pete Alonso will regret leaving New York, claiming the slugger could have rewritten the franchise record books forever. But did the Mets even give him a chance to stay? Evan and Tiki break down the explosive quote, the loyalty vs. money debate tearing fans apart, and the uncomfortable reality of how Alonso's exit actually unfolded. Plus, callers weigh in on historic American sports moments, Olympic legends like Jesse Owens, the true impact of USA Hockey's gold medal, and whether international success really grows a sport. From WBC trivia to bold Mets World Series predictions in a post-Alonso era, this segment covers everything New York fans are arguing about right now.

It's a blizzard Monday in New York, and Evan Roberts is already fed up with the snow, but the storm gets pushed aside when Team USA shocks Canada and wins hockey gold in a heart stopping overtime thriller, sealed by a Jack Hughes winner. Then the arguments explode, and Shaun Morash becomes the lightning rod. Tiki is fully in on the pride, the emotion, and the “USA across the chest” rush. Evan admits the win was incredible, but questions why it fades so fast compared to the months long misery and payoff of being a real fan of your teams. Meanwhile Morash wrestles with the ultimate New York sports fan dilemma: how do you celebrate an American hero when that hero plays for a rival, and does this whole thing feel like a cheap championship? Plus: Miracle on Ice nostalgia, 2010 USA Canada scars, why Olympic hockey hits different than the WBC, what Olympic baseball in 2028 could become, and callers weighing in with the one question that matters: did this actually feel like a championship, or was it just a great Sunday morning show that you moved on from an hour later?

After looking dead in the water against Houston, the Knicks flip the switch over the final eight minutes and steal a game they had no business winning, then grind out another victory in Chicago behind Jalen Brunson's clutch shot making and Karl-Anthony Towns' strong stretch of play. But the biggest moment might not have happened on the court at all. Evan and Tiki react to the viral Shaquille O'Neal vs KAT exchange from Inside the NBA, where Shaq bluntly tells Towns that “good isn't good enough” if the Knicks want a championship. Did KAT miss the point? Does he lack that ruthless edge great teams need from a dominant star? And can New York reach the next level if Brunson remains the only true closer? The hour also veers into a heated pushback against the growing Jayson Tatum comeback narrative, with Evan arguing the Knicks were firmly in control of that playoff series before Tatum's injury and shouldn't have to apologize for winning. Plus, classic WFAN chaos: snowstorm stories, travel nightmares, soccer talk, Olympic hockey passion debates, Mets fan emotions, and an all-time awkward bar tab saga after Evan accidentally Venmos $300 for a bill that wasn't even close. It's part serious Knicks championship talk, part media watchdog, and part pure New York sports radio madness.

A blizzard edition of Evan and Tiki with Shaun recaps the dilemma of Team USA winning gold, plus Evan is angry at the LOL Mets narrative.

From viral defensive clips of players adjusting to new positions to the nonstop chatter about early struggles, Evan argues that judging anything meaningful from a few February reps is completely unhinged. The conversation quickly shifts to Pete Alonso's early power display in a new uniform and whether fans and media are turning routine spring home runs into manufactured outrage. Is it fair concern, harmless excitement that baseball is back, or just classic overreaction season? Evan insists the constant microscope is unhealthy, while Tiki pushes back that notable moments are still worth discussing even if they ultimately mean nothing.

Evan and Tiki keep digging into the Team USA gold medal win and hit the fan question that drives everyone nuts: does an Olympic championship hit the same as a title with your real team, or is it a “cheap championship” you move on from in an hour? The debate gets spicy fast when the guys bring up Aaron Judge, the Yankees, and the brutal reality of New York fandom. If Judge becomes an Olympic hero but still never wins a World Series, would Yankee fans shrug and say “cool, now bring me the ring”? Meanwhile, Devils fans might treat Jack Hughes like a legend forever, even if New Jersey never raises the Cup. Then it turns into a full-on loyalty war: can Rangers fans ever truly love a Devils player, even if he just delivered gold for the USA? Evan says no. Tiki says you can hate the sweater and still respect the player. Shaun argues fans are trained to boo rivals, not frame their photos.

On a snow-buried Monday in New York, Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber open the show fed up with the blizzard, only to get swept up reliving one of the most dramatic moments in USA hockey history. Team USA takes down Canada in a heart-stopping overtime thriller, Jack Hughes delivers the golden goal, and suddenly a Devils star is the face of American triumph. But how much did it really move the needle for fans? Is an Olympic gold comparable to a championship run with your favorite team, or does the emotion fade fast when you only invest a few days into the journey? Evan, Tiki, and Shaun debate national pride vs team loyalty, casual fans vs diehards, and why hockey's biggest stage hits differently than baseball, basketball, or football.

It's Friday, which means the return of a fan-favorite segment: Idiots With Idioms. The crew unleashes a rapid-fire montage of butchered sayings, mangled phrases, and all-time verbal train wrecks from across WFAN and beyond. From “carp a mental enterprise” to “break open the apple cart,” no expression is safe. But that's only half the chaos. With a quiet week for bad takes, a brand-new segment debuts: Who's the Bigger Baby? Tiki steps in as judge, jury, and executioner to decide which co-host complained, sulked, or spiraled the most. This week's verdict sparks a fiery showdown over MLB's potential salary cap, owner spending, Steve Cohen, and whether player-friendly outrage qualifies as elite whining.

This hour of Evan and Tiki spirals fast, starting with Tom Brady calling WWE “cute” and turning into a full-on theory that Brady is getting “worked” into a WrestleMania moment in Las Vegas. The guys also untangle the Logan Paul confusion, clown the “All-State linebacker” claim, then get forced into a real-time apology when the receipts come out. From there, it's a throwback to Lawrence Taylor's WrestleMania 11 main event, why WWE used it to hook casual fans, and why some Giants fans still want nothing to do with it. The show also hits Giants fans taking over road stadiums, the “book vs. show” debate with 11/22/63, and the usual spring training viewing confusion. And yes, Cinco de Luncho takes over: Shaun Morash drops his list of the five worst inappropriate relationships to get caught in, and it somehow gets even more unhinged once the guys start offering “honorable mentions.” The hour keeps rolling with a caller-driven John Harbaugh ranking debate, a quick hockey rules rant during Canada vs. Finland, and an absurd detour into “classified files,” UFOs, and the theory that the real mystery might be hiding in the ocean.

Today, we are at the table in Techtown for a fast‑moving conversation on how Metro Detroit goes out now. We start with the closure of Mutiny Bar and ask if Detroit's modern tiki bar era has quietly ended, even as tiki continues in places like San Diego and Palm Springs.​ Norris shares a visit to Bastille Bar, praising it as a no‑frills "it's just a bar" hangout, while the crew argues that happy hour has effectively shifted to 3–6 p.m. thanks to changing work patterns and school pickups. Devon then delivers an ode to the hotel bar via Four Vagabonds at the Dearborn Inn, celebrating it as a hub for travelers' stories and local recommendations.​ We close with a debate over whether it's time to ditch third‑party delivery apps like DoorDash. We saw a number of restaurants pull the plug on delivery services, so we're asking if you are, too.  Here's the rundown: 02:13 - Mutiny Bar is done: Is Detroit's age of Tiki bars over? 06:49 - Where we've been: Bastille Bar 09:11 - Has Happy Hour moved to 3pm? 10:01 - An ode to the Hotel Bar (Four Vagabonds) 12:13 - Where we've been: Mexico City Mexican Restaurant 15:00 - Vote for us for Metro Detroit's best podcast on Hour 17:37 - Is it time to break up with delivery apps like DoorDash? Some Detroit area restaurants are pulling the plug on delivery Feedback as always, dailydetroit - at - gmail - dot - com or leave a voicemail, 313-789-3211.

Evan reveals the strangest dream of his life: he's traveling in space with Doug Gottlieb as his radio partner, Barack Obama is in the building, and the conversation somehow turns into back issues, doctor appointments, and a plot twist that leaves everyone stunned and laughing. Tiki's reaction says it all, and Evan tries to explain why his brain cooked up this absolute fever dream. Then it's back to the calls, and the Team USA loyalty debate keeps rolling. One caller admits the only place Sean's argument really works is Team USA basketball, because nobody is suddenly rooting for rival stars just because they put on the jersey. The conversation shifts to soccer and the World Cup, including a wild detail about Team USA's coaching staff that sparks a whole discussion about style, development, and how international sports fandom works. Finally, the show stumbles into peak sports-radio comedy when a caller tries to make a point about “Jack Hughes” and accidentally sends everyone down a rabbit hole involving the Miracle on Ice roster, a different Jack Hughes, and an all-time name confusion that somehow ends up being kind of awesome.

The 4th and final hour of the Evan and Tiki Show is PACKED with big New York sports debates, fiery opinions, and plenty of laughs. First, Jalen Brunson opens up in a revealing interview and his comments about the New York Knicks and his future contract raise serious questions. Did he sacrifice money for the team and will they pay him back? Could a massive supermax deal actually happen? Then the guys break down a heated media moment involving Giancarlo Stanton and a blunt question from a reporter. Was the line of questioning fair or totally out of line?

A listener request unlocks one of the most painful (and unforgettable) moments in New York sports radio history. Evan and Tiki rewind to November 2, 2015, when a brutal trifecta of losses rocked the city: the Mets falling in the World Series, the Giants losing to the Saints, and the Jets getting torched by the Raiders. Producer Dov Kramer stitched those defeats together with U2's “Sunday Bloody Sunday” to create a haunting open… and Joe Benigno absolutely LOST IT on air. Relive the raw frustration, the dark humor, the instant classic radio meltdown, and the wounds that still haven't fully healed for Mets, Giants, and Jets fans. Plus, the guys react to the fallout, revisit the chaos of that weekend, and debate whether painful memories like this are part of what makes being a New York fan unforgettable. A true Fan Flashback packed with misery, nostalgia, and legendary radio moments.

Would Mike Evans instantly transform the Giants offense… or is signing an aging star receiver a risky move, even on a “reasonable” deal? Evan and Tiki debate whether the veteran Buccaneers wideout is a slam-dunk target or a move that could age poorly. Then the conversation pivots to Queens, where Carlos Mendoza's recent comments spark major questions. Why has the tone changed on naming Francisco Lindor captain? Is this coming from ownership? And what does it say about leadership inside the Mets clubhouse? Plus, the guys react to the Luke Weaver “Yankees bag” moment, the reality of players switching allegiances in New York, and the swirling rumors about politics, cliques, and chemistry behind the scenes. Tiki offers a blunt take on what a manager should actually know about his locker room and whether “I don't know” is ever an acceptable answer. Giants roster talk, Mets leadership debate, and a deep dive into how much clubhouse dynamics really matter when a season goes sideways.

The phones are ringing, Evan's yelling, Tiki's laughing, and nobody's in control because it's Cinco time. This one spirals fast when the “final Hooters on Long Island” goes down and Shaun Morash goes full food historian with a Top 5 list of chain restaurants we've lost (or are about to lose) locally. From Roy Rogers nostalgia and Bennigan's smoke-stained memories, to TGI Fridays getting credit for potato skins, plus Friendly's, Sizzler, Ground Round, and the Pizza Hut buffet glory days, this turns into a full-on Long Island food eulogy. Then it gets even better: a caller fact-checks Roy Rogers locations, the crew debates the Mount Rushmore of Wendy's items. Chaos, nostalgia, and food takes that should probably be illegal.

Evan unveils his 25-deep Jets QB Big Board, ranking every realistic option from free agency to “likely trade or release” candidates, and it instantly turns into a full-blown debate. Aaron Rodgers is dead last, the middle tier gets rapid-fired, and then the top 10 drops with a jaw-dropping Anthony Richardson at #1 and Malik Willis at #2, sparking the obvious question: are the Jets hunting “stability” or swinging for the fences on upside? Calls pour in challenging the logic, the risk, and whether the Jets are even capable of fixing a reclamation project. Evan explains why he'd rather take a volatile shot that could hit big (or crater into a top pick) than sign a “bridge to nowhere.” Then Hour 3 takes a hard left into Cinco De Luncho: Food Edition as the crew reacts to the final Long Island Hooters closing, drafts the chain restaurants we miss most, argues Friendly's vs extinction, remembers Pizza Hut buffet glory, and gets sidetracked by a Wendy's poll idea that turns into a mini crisis when Tiki nearly reveals his password on-air. Plus: quick teases on what's coming next with Jalen Brunson and Giancarlo Stanton.
