Podcasts about Tiki

Trade rumors are heating up around Jaylen Waddle as Miami's roster shakeup raises one big question: are the Dolphins blowing it up for a full rebuild? Evan and Tiki break down the signs pointing to a potential tank, the uncertain quarterback plan in Miami, and why Waddle could suddenly be on the market despite signing a new deal not long ago.

Evan and Tiki dig into the archives to fact-check Steve Cohen: Has the Mets owner always been against naming a team captain, or did the locker room issues force his hand? The guys debate the "bastardization" of the captaincy in MLB, leading to a heated argument about John Franco's tenure wearing the "C." Later, they decode Cohen's "good boy" comments regarding a potential MLB salary cap and why Evan is convinced the owner is just playing nice with the league. Plus, a look at the available free-agent quarterbacks for the Jets—is Derek Carr the stabilizer they need?—and Evan prepares to pressure Carlos Mendoza on batting Juan Soto leadoff.

Should the New York Jets lock up Breece Hall at all costs? With franchise and transition tag numbers looming, the debate heats up over whether Gang Green should secure their young star running back long-term or risk letting the market decide. Evan and Tiki break down why Hall is more than just a running back. He is a foundational piece for whoever lines up at quarterback next season. They compare Hall to Kenneth Walker, analyze usage, injuries, production, and market value, and debate whether the Jets can afford to lose a true workhorse. Plus, what would a fair deal actually look like? Is a four-year, $50 million contract the sweet spot, or will the open market push the price higher? And how much does Walker's recent Super Bowl heroics complicate things? If you are building a roster around a new QB, this conversation reveals why the backfield decision could define the entire Jets offseason.

The guys debate about what the real issue is. Is it the biggest teams spending too much, or the smallest teams spending nowhere near enough? Evan and Tiki dig into the payroll gap, why owners complain about exploding salaries, and why fans never see the actual books when teams claim they are losing money. Then the conversation swings to the Yankees and a classic February question: if the rotation ever got fully healthy, who actually gets bumped? Evan explains why the question is flawed (because pitchers never stay healthy), how “follow the money” really works, and why options and roster flexibility will decide more than hot takes. Finally, a caller pitches a twist on the World Baseball Classic: move the biggest games to All-Star week. The guys break down why it sounds awesome, why pitchers make it complicated, and what a real compromise could look like.

Would you give up an entire season of sports if it guaranteed your team a championship? Evan and Tiki dive into one of the ultimate fan hypotheticals, sparked by a debate on Carton & Roberts. From a Mets World Series to a Jets Super Bowl, the guys weigh the emotional payoff versus the pain of losing a full season, especially with a potential MLB lockout looming. The conversation expands across New York sports loyalty, personal experience with championships, and just how far fans would go to taste that “sweet nectar” of victory. Would Yankees fans trade a season? Would Giants fans sacrifice football Sundays? And is a Brooklyn Nets title worth the NBA disappearing entirely? Plus, callers weigh in on neutral-site World Series ideas, NBA tanking solutions, GOAT debates, aliens, movie snacks, and everything in between in a classic wide-ranging sports talk hour.

Evan and Tiki kick off the segment discussing the rules of "wearing the L" when a host or listener gets something wrong, and the confusion caused by the rewind feature on the Audacy app. Then, the guys debate a caller's theory that Juan Soto chose the Mets because the clubhouse looked "fun," with Evan arguing that money and the farm system were the only real factors. Later, the conversation shifts to fixing tanking in pro sports. Evan proposes a unique "Frozen Lottery" solution: giving all non-playoff teams equal odds for the top pick, with the catch that the pick and the player selected cannot be traded for a full year. Callers weigh in with their own ideas, including "Internal Affairs" investigations and overtime rule changes.

Brian Cashman set off a firestorm after a stunning press conference blunder, appearing to misremember how the Yankees' season actually ended. Did the GM really think they reached the ALCS, or was it just a harmless slip of the tongue? Evan and Tiki debate whether this mistake exposes a deeper problem inside the organization: complacency, revisionist history, and a lack of urgency despite falling short of championship expectations. Plus, the guys loop in Chris “Big Mac” McMonagle for a rapid-fire verdict, compare the controversy to similar front-office comments across sports, and open the phones to frustrated fans weighing in on accountability, leadership, and what this says about the Yankees' direction heading into the new season. Is this outrage justified or classic overreaction in the Bronx?

Evan admits he watched more of the NBA All-Star Game than he has in two decades and, shockingly, he kind of loved it. The early start time actually made sense, the 12-minute “all crunch-time” games kept everyone locked in, and the effort level (hello, Wemby) was way higher than expected. But the format still had flaws, especially the tired “old heads” in the final, and LeBron's comments about USA vs. the World had the guys scratching their heads. Then the conversation turns to the real post-All-Star headline: Adam Silver's growing frustration with tanking. Evan and Tiki run through some of the most creative proposals being floated, including a tournament for the No. 1 pick, playoff incentives to make players care, and even the nuclear option, abolishing the draft entirely. And on Presidents Day, the Mets take center stage too: Steve Cohen meets the media, talks expectations, admits his frustration with how long it's been since 1986, and makes one thing crystal clear, as long as he owns the team, there will be no Mets captain. Plus, the guys react to Cohen's “I feel what the fans feel” line and what it means for the current state of the franchise heading into spring training.

This week's Knicks highlights include praising the team's dismantling of the Sixers to enter the All-Star break on a high note. Plus, Evan and Tiki compare the Mike Brown Knicks to last year's group under Tom Thibodeau, and marvel at the fanbase invading Philadelphia for a road game.

Francisco Lindor is heading for hand surgery, and the Evan and Tiki crew debate if the star shortstop can be ready for Opening Day. Plus, Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle wonder how long it will take Lindor to get his power stroke back, and more reactions to Juan Soto moving to left field.

The conversation flips to the NFL announcing a Week 1 game in Australia between the 49ers and Rams, and the idea that the season could start on a Wednesday or Thursday before the traditional defending champ opener. Tiki breaks down the brutal travel angle as a former player, while Evan argues the fan side and why the opener tradition matters. The segment wraps with Jets talk: is the job more attractive if you build a real roster and stay competitive, or do you embrace the tank for a potentially loaded QB draft? Plenty of caller fuel, Giants comparisons, and a classic argument about what actually makes a franchise desirable for a coach.

Evan and Tiki react to the Knicks' latest roster addition, Jeremy Sochan. After being waived by the Spurs, is the young defensive agitator the perfect "dog" for the Knicks' stretch run? The guys also settle a bet regarding Knicks fans taking over Philly with the "Jose" chant for Jose Alvarado. Then, concern grows in Yankees camp as Cam Schlittler is scratched from throwing off a mound due to back tightness. Evan and Tiki debate if the young right-hander will make the Opening Day roster and if fans would sign up for a guaranteed 94-win season. Plus: A shocking email from a Giants fan who defected to the Jets. Shaun Morash's "Cinco de Lunch Show": The Top 5 Most Useless Valentine's Day Gestures. Presidential trivia ahead of the long weekend.

Derek Carr walks back Jet hops, NBA All Star Weekend is here, Valentine's Day surprise from Tiki, and much more

This week on The Horrorcraft Podcast…We're going behind the scenes with Ken Sledge of Sledgehammer Horror for an honest, inspiring conversation about content creation, building horror-focused projects from the ground up, and what it's really like to create alongside your spouse while sharing a deep love for the genre. Cass and Kylee dig into creative passion, partnership, and the realities of turning your love of horror into something lasting. This episode is all about collaboration, commitment, and keeping the spark alive—on and off camera.

Are the Knicks already disqualified from being a true title contender? Evan, Tiki, and Sean debate Phil Jackson's famous 40-20 rule, why the Knicks falling short might matter, and why this season's parity could blow the whole “rule” up anyway. Plus, the crew gets into whether you'd rather see Detroit early or late in the playoffs, stories from Giants fans traveling to Packers games, and a hilarious detour into the Cashman wardrobe take that may have been “borrowed” by a coworker. Then it's All-Star Weekend talk and why nobody truly cares about the dunk contest anymore.

Three major stories broke after the show ended, but the conversation quickly zeroes in on the most polarizing one. Evan and Tiki debate Juan Soto's move from right field to left field, why it actually makes sense at Citi Field, and why the timing and explanation from the Mets still feels strange. The discussion digs into Soto's defensive history, his split time between left and right field throughout his career, and whether the World Baseball Classic played a bigger role than the team wants to admit. Plus, questions about roster construction, fan reaction, and why this move was obvious to some long before it became official, even if it still feels awkward the way it rolled out.

Spring training is here, the Yankees are healthy, and it should feel like a celebration. Instead, Shaun Morash finds a way to sound the alarm, and it has nothing to do with the roster. His issue? Brian Cashman's “walk-in” look: hoodie, trucker hat, backpack, iced coffee, and a vibe that screams “too comfortable.” Evan and Tiki push back hard, debating whether this is a real red flag or just peak offseason nitpicking, while callers line up to either roast Shaun or agree the Yankees brand demands more professionalism. Plus, Evan spins the argument into a new idea: a weekly vote for the dumbest opinion on WFAN, and Shaun might already be the runaway favorite.

The show opens with three major stories that broke after the show ended the night before. The Knicks suffer a brutal overtime loss to an undermanned Pacers team, Francisco Lindor's hamate bone injury raises concerns about Opening Day and lingering power issues, and the Mets announce a surprising positional shift for Juan Soto from right field to left field on the eve of spring training. Evan and Tiki debate which storyline actually matters most, why the Soto move makes sense on the field but feels strange in timing and messaging, and how the World Baseball Classic factors into both conversations. Plus, fan calls, injury comparisons around baseball, and why Lindor's situation could linger far longer than the Knicks loss or Soto's defensive switch.

After giving it 36 hours to breathe, the show goes full “Cinco de Luncho” and ranks the five worst Super Bowls of our lifetimes, chaos included. Evan, Tiki, and Morash each reveal their lists from No. 5 to No. 1, comparing classic blowouts like Giants-Ravens, Seahawks-Broncos at MetLife, Cowboys-Bills, and Patriots-Rams, plus newer disasters that still feel fresh. Along the way, they debate what actually makes a Super Bowl “bad.” Is it the final score, how you felt in the moment, or whether there was anything memorable at all? They get into the 90s dud era, the difference between “historic defense” and “unwatchable football,” and why this most recent game might end up remembered as the “Drake Maye game” years from now. Plus, callers jump in with forgotten all-time stinkers, and the conversation spirals into why the NFC owned the Super Bowl for over a decade and how that shaped an entire generation's view of the league.

On this segment of Evan & Tiki, the guys dive into the latest reports from Adam Schefter regarding potential NFL rule changes. Evan and Tiki debate the pros and cons of allowing teams to trade draft picks up to five years in advance and whether the league should finally replace the onside kick with a 4th-and-13 play from the 25-yard line. Then, the show goes off the rails when a caller claims Patriots QB Drake Maye is already "leaps and bounds" better than Eli Manning after just two seasons. Evan loses his cool, defending Eli's clutch legacy against what he calls "stat-padding" from the Patriots' young star. Also in this hour: St. John's Expectations: With the Johnnies sitting at 19-5, is it "Elite Eight or Bust" for Rick Pitino? Posting and Toasting: The crew plays their favorite tweet game, featuring debates on parallel parking skills and Al Dukes' bizarre requirements for watching Olympic swimming. The Return of Adam Gase: Reaction to the news that the former Jets head coach is back in the league working with Justin Herbert—and why the framing of his resume drove Evan crazy.

Evan and Tiki debate whether Seahawks kicker Jason Myers deserved the Super Bowl MVP over Kenneth Walker given the unique, low-scoring nature of the game. The guys discuss the historical rarity of a Super Bowl MVP potentially leaving in free agency and fact-check if it has ever happened before. Later, the crew reacts to Sam Darnold winning a championship after years of criticism, debates the nostalgia of Blockbuster Video versus Amazon rentals, and discusses if K-Pop is the future of the Halftime Show.

Evan and Tiki debate who the Super Bowl champion Seahawks will host to kick off the 2026 NFL season. With the Rams and 49ers heading to Australia, the guys analyze the remaining options including the Chiefs, Chargers, and Bears and argue whether the John Harbaugh led Giants are ready for the prime-time spotlight. Plus, the crew discusses the lack of cold-weather Super Bowls and Tiki sets his price tag for the Jets to acquire Mac Jones.

Evan and Tiki rank their top 5 Super Bowl commercials, debating the merits of humor versus heart—including a heated argument about the Clydesdales versus Ben Stiller's "slapstick" moment. The guys also discuss the "Orchids of Asia" t-shirt worn by Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, and whether it crossed a line in trolling Robert Kraft. Plus, a look at the confusing new MLB streaming paywall, a nostalgic trip through 80s movies like Real Genius and Weird Science, and why Tony Gonzalez in a Falcons uniform just felt wrong.

Everyone called Super Bowl 60 boring, but Evan and Tiki explain why watching the Patriots get embarrassed by the Seahawks was actually a thrill ride. The guys break down the game, including Drake Maye's playoff struggles, the dominance of Kenneth Walker, and the irony of Sam Darnold getting a ring. Later, the show goes off the rails regarding a broadcast moment that enraged Jets fans: Mike Tirico calling Adam Sandler a Patriots fan "as per usual." They debate who is more at fault Tirico for the lazy research, or Sandler for wearing a hat with the Patriots logo on it.

In the final hour of the show, Evan, Tiki, and Sean look ahead to next year by predicting the matchup for Super Bowl 61 in Los Angeles. The guys break down the current betting odds, debate whether the Baltimore Ravens are the team to beat in the AFC, and discuss if the Washington Commanders or Dallas Cowboys are legitimate NFC contenders. Plus, the crew reacts to the shocking news of Adam Gase returning to the NFL with the Los Angeles Chargers and tackles the "controversy" surrounding Mets pitcher Luke Weaver showing up to Spring Training with a Yankees bag.

A random Super Bowl celebrity shoutout turned into an all out Jets fan meltdown. Evan and Tiki react to Mike Tirico calling Adam Sandler “a Patriots fan as per usual” and why that one line put a dark cloud over the rest of the night for a lot of Jets fans. Was it a simple camera angle misunderstanding because Sandler was wearing a Super Bowl hat with both logos? Or is the real crime Tirico confidently saying “as per usual” like it is fact? The guys debate what is more egregious: Tirico mislabeling Sandler's fandom on national TV, or Sandler even putting a Patriots logo on his head in any context.

Sam Darnold is in the Super Bowl, leading Evan and Tiki to look back on how far the Jets draft bust has come. Craig Carton doesn't believe anyone declaring that they won't watch this Sunday, though Chris McMonigle doesn't believe it is a "sexy" matchup. Plus, can the Giants follow the Patriots path and become contenders next year?

The final hour of Evan & Tiki opens with breaking Knicks news as New York trades for Jose Alvarado just moments before reports surface that Deuce McBride will undergo core muscle surgery and could miss the rest of the regular season. Evan and Tiki break down what the injury really means, playoff timelines, and why the move reflects how well-run the Knicks have become. The conversation shifts to NBA trade deadline fallout, Giannis' future in Milwaukee, James Harden analogies that hit a little too close to home, and Hall of Fame debates involving Eli Manning, Luke Kuechly, and Jason Witten.

As Super Bowl 60 approaches, Evan tries to “squint” and find hope for New York football, and Tiki actually sees a real blueprint. The Giants, led by John Harbaugh and rookie QB Jaxson Dart, look eerily similar to the Patriots' recent turnaround: solid run game, defense ready to modernize under Denard Wilson, and a rookie season stat line that mirrors Drake Maye. The big swing factor: can Matt Nagy be the Josh McDaniels type who accelerates Dart into stardom?

Evan and Tiki try to “breathe” after an insane double-overtime Knicks win at MSG that almost turned into an all-day referee meltdown. They break down Mikal Bridges' brutal night (and the massive corner three), why Knicks fans are suddenly saying “we don't need Giannis,” and the real takeaway: Mitchell Robinson looking like a one-man defensive cheat code against Jokic and Jamal Murray. Plus, trade deadline talk with the latest buzz, the Knicks' minor money move, what the buyout market could look like, and calls on Brunson's clutch DNA and a wild Draymond-to-NY idea. Then the hour takes a hard turn to hockey as the Rangers ship Artemi “Breadman” Panarin to the Kings, sending Sean into full Fan Focus fury about Drury, the direction of the franchise, and why this “retool” feels like a wrecking ball. Also: an unexpected debate on the worst U.S. president of all time.

The final hour of Evan & Tiki opens with breaking Knicks news as New York trades for Jose Alvarado just moments before reports surface that Deuce McBride will undergo core muscle surgery and could miss the rest of the regular season. Evan and Tiki break down what the injury really means, playoff timelines, and why the move reflects how well-run the Knicks have become. The conversation shifts to NBA trade deadline fallout, Giannis' future in Milwaukee, James Harden analogies that hit a little too close to home, and Hall of Fame debates involving Eli Manning, Luke Kuechly, and Jason Witten. Plus, the guys dive deep into Super Bowl Week, ranking the least appealing Super Bowl matchups of the last 20 years, debating Patriots vs Seahawks fatigue, Tom Brady's competitiveness, and whether this game has any real juice. All that, Cinco de Lunch, calls, laughs, and peak WFAN energy to close out the show.

Tom Brady set off a full-blown Patriots fan meltdown after saying he has “no dog in the fight” when asked who he's rooting for in the Super Bowl. Boston fans and former Patriots are ripping him for sounding cold, scripted, and weirdly detached from the franchise that made him. The guys break down the full context of the clip, why the “resume speech” made it worse, and whether Brady is trying to please everyone as a broadcaster and part-owner of the Raiders. Plus, the show compares it to the old “Tiki rooted against the Giants” stereotype, talks loyalty in sports, and takes calls from fans with theories on what Brady is really doing.

The hot stove finally cools down as the Detroit Tigers sign ace pitcher Framber Valdez to a massive 3-year, $111 million deal. Tiki and Evan debate whether this move makes Detroit a legitimate World Series contender or if they are simply capitalizing on a weak AL Central—and how they stack up against the New York Yankees in a potential playoff series. Then, the results are in for the show's MLB Free Agency Bingo. After months of tracking, a winner is crowned (spoiler: it's Tiki), while Tommy finishes dead last. The guys also pivot to a bizarre history lesson, discussing Robert Todd Lincoln's uncanny proximity to three presidential assassinations and the irony of the man who saved his life.

A wild double overtime night at Madison Square Garden had everything. Late whistles. Missed shots. Big nerves. And a Knicks team that refused to fold. Evan and Tiki break down the double overtime win over the Denver Nuggets and why this one felt different from past seasons. The conversation starts with the controversial loose ball foul that nearly flipped the night and why the Knicks overcame a moment that usually ends in disaster. From there, the focus shifts to the trade deadline chatter and why a game like this makes you wonder if the Knicks even need Giannis Antetokounmpo to compete with the league's best. At the center of it all is Mitchell Robinson. His ability to guard Nikola Jokic in the paint and switch out onto Jamal Murray on the perimeter is dissected in detail, along with why his defensive impact might be the real difference between a good team and a Finals team. Jalen Brunson gets his due for late game poise, Karl-Anthony Towns' bloody toughness moment is discussed, and the roller coaster night from Mikal Bridges is put into full context. Plus, legendary calls from Walt Clyde Frazier add another layer to an already unforgettable night. A reminder to stay calm during an 82 game season, but also a clear message. This Knicks team can beat anyone when it defends like this.

Trade deadline eve gets spicy fast after a new report out of The Athletic delivers the money quote from Giannis: “I want to be here, but I want to win.” Evan and Tiki translate what that really means for Milwaukee, why the Giannis uncertainty froze the market, and why so many teams made their moves early. Then Ian Begley joins the show to lay out the hard truth for Knicks fans: New York is on the outside looking in on Giannis right now, not because they “love their roster,” but because they simply do not have the assets to win that bidding war. Begley explains what the Knicks could still do before 3:00 PM, including potential targets like Jose Alvarado and a backup big, plus how Deuce McBride's status factors in. Finally, the conversation widens to the East shifting under everyone's feet, from Cleveland's aggressive swing to Boston's moves, and why the real Giannis sweepstakes might be headed for the offseason.

With the NBA trade deadline just hours away, the league is holding its breath after a revealing quote from Giannis Antetokounmpo: “I want to be here, but I want to win.” Evan and Tiki react to what that really signals about Giannis' future in Milwaukee and whether the Knicks were ever truly in the mix. The guys are joined by Ian Begley to break down why Giannis may ultimately stay put, how his situation slowed the entire trade market, and what realistic moves the New York Knicks could still make before the buzzer. They also examine how recent moves by Cleveland and Boston reshape the Eastern Conference, why asset limitations matter for New York, and whether the real Giannis sweepstakes are more likely to spill into the offseason. It is a deadline-eve deep dive into superstar leverage, front office patience, and what Knicks fans should actually be rooting for when the clock hits 3:00 PM.

The Jets finally make it official: Frank Reich is the new offensive coordinator, and Evan and Tiki debate whether it's a stabilizing move or just another “single to center field” for a franchise that always finds a way to spiral. Evan breaks down why Reich's résumé works, why the Carolina stint shouldn't be the whole story, and why none of it matters until the Jets find an actual quarterback. Then the show turns into a full-on Jets credibility cage match. Shaun Morash joins the hour and answers the backlash from his reporting, clears up what he said about Darren Muji, and explains why people around the league keep calling the Jets a toxic environment. Plus, Evan puts the ultimate poll to the audience: who do you trust more, Morash or Craig Carton, and the early results might surprise you.

The guys go back to the prediction desk and grade their NFL head coaching “bingo” cards now that the jobs are filled. Sean comes out on top, Evan salvages a couple, and Tiki somehow goes 0-for-10. Then the conversation shifts to the real fun question: which of these new hires is the first one fired? The Browns and Raiders dysfunction debate gets heated, Tom Brady's Raiders influence comes up, and the segment detours into a Michael Jordan ownership discussion before taking a caller who jumps into Yankees lineup controversy with Trent Grisham vs Jasson Domínguez.

With two first-round picks in hand, the New York Jets may have the flexibility to make a bold quarterback move in the upcoming draft. Evan and Tiki dive into the idea of using a high pick on Ty Simpson, a prospect whose stock has swung wildly over the last college season. They revisit how quickly quarterback evaluations can change, why waiting can be risky if you truly believe in a player, and how past debates like the Daniel Jones draft still shape how fans view early QB selections today. The conversation also expands to broader draft philosophy, media hype cycles, and why it may be too early for anyone to feel confident about next year's quarterback class. A thoughtful look at patience, projection, and pressure when it comes to finding the next franchise quarterback.

The Jets finally make it official: Frank Reich is the new offensive coordinator. Tiki calls it a smart, stabilizing hire for Aaron Glenn, but Evan keeps it real, a “single to center field” that doesn't fix the one thing that matters most: quarterback. They dig into Reich's résumé (Philly success, Indy chaos, Carolina disaster), why some fans can talk themselves into it, and why the vibe around the franchise still feels inevitable. Then it turns into a full-on Jets credibility brawl. Shaun Morash is in the crosshairs of Jets fans and Craig Carton after yesterday's reporting, and Evan lays out why the public treats them like extremes. Morash pushes back, defends his sourcing, clarifies the Darren Muji comments, and explains why the Jets always seem to be playing defense. Plus, the show tackles the bigger point behind all of it: Woody Johnson's involvement, the “toxic” perception around the league, and why Jets fans can't get inspired until the organization proves it can simply win.

Evan and Tiki turn a messy headline into a game: how many times would the media actually press Roger Goodell about Steve Tisch and the newly released Jeffrey Epstein email exchanges. The league drops a brief statement, then the room goes right at it, including questions from Judy Battista and Albert Breer. The guys react to Goodell's careful wording, debate what an actual NFL “fact-finding” process even looks like, and whether “not illegal” can still be “bad enough” under the personal conduct policy. Plus: quick hits on the Rooney Rule, Goodell going out of his way to praise officiating, and the league's thoughts on Bad Bunny and the halftime spotlight.
