The guys break down Soto's MVP-level second half last season, why his famous shuffle actually increased as he got locked in, and why the narrative about him being unhappy in Queens simply doesn't add up. Plus, the conversation drifts around the NBA with thoughts on the surging Charlotte Hornets, rumors surrounding Giannis and the Knicks, and some entertaining calls from WFAN listeners.

The final hour of Evan & Tiki dives into a bizarre debate surrounding Juan Soto and his famous shuffle. Some fans claim Soto is “happier” playing internationally than with the New York Mets, but Evan explains why that narrative is completely overblown and why the shuffle is really about confidence at the plate.

In a high-energy Thursday morning appearance on Sid Rosenberg's show, WFAN icon Joe Beningo joins from New Jersey to discuss the latest in New York sports. He opens with light-hearted jabs about his recent media feud with Mayor Zohran Mamdani before diving into the good news: warmer weather ahead to end a brutal winter. Beningo expresses strong support for President Trump's actions on Iran, citing decades of unaddressed attacks on Americans, while acknowledging some Republican criticism. Turning to sports, he mourns the recent passing of coaching legend Lou Holtz (who coached the disastrous 1976 Jets season), reminisces about college basketball's glory days before NIL and one-and-dones "ruined" it, and debates the Knicks' status as a solid but not elite Eastern Conference team (predicting 50+ wins, a first-round playoff victory, but no championship). He rips the officiating in their recent loss to OKC but urges fans to relax—the regular season is just seeding. On the Jets, Beningo shows cautious optimism in new GM moves (like franchising Breece Hall) but low confidence in head coach Aaron Glenn, suggesting a stopgap QB this year and a real franchise prospect in the stacked 2027 draft class. For the Mets, he laments losing Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz, questions the bullpen (especially Devin Williams), but sees contender potential with improved starting pitching and hitters like Juan Soto and Bo Bichette—if they don't make the playoffs, manager Carlos Mendoza and GM David Stearns could be out. He gives the Yankees a strong nod for their rotation (led by a healthy Gerrit Cole) and playoff lock, though the loaded AL East and Dodgers' dominance temper World Series hopes. Beningo closes by predicting a potential lengthy MLB lockout over salary cap issues, urging fans to enjoy 2026 while it lasts. Full of signature passion, honesty ("let's be honest"), and New York grit, it's classic Joe Beningo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sid Rosenberg delivered another high-energy morning packed with politics, national security, and New York sports on Sid and Friends in the Morning. Former NYC Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli joined Sid to discuss the controversy surrounding Councilmember Vicky Palladino, arguing that efforts by the City Council to punish her over social media posts could set a troubling precedent for policing political speech and may even strengthen her standing with voters. Media heavyweight Bill O'Reilly weighed in on global tensions, breaking down the geopolitical logic behind U.S. actions involving Iran and stressing that military strength, disciplined strategy, and high-level negotiations—not media narratives—ultimately determine outcomes on the world stage. From Capitol Hill, U.S. Senator Rick Scott honored fallen service members and defended President Donald Trump's military actions as necessary preemptive steps to protect American lives, while criticizing partisan battles over war powers. Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis also joined the program to celebrate a Supreme Court decision preserving New York's 11th Congressional District map, calling it a major victory for voters in Staten Island and Brooklyn and a stand against partisan gerrymandering. And in the sports world, WFAN legend Joe Beningo brought his trademark passion to the studio, ripping the New York Mets bullpen, debating the playoff ceiling of the New York Knicks, and sounding off on the latest quarterback drama surrounding the New York Jets.

The final hour dives deep into the state of the New York Knicks — and a stat that may completely change how fans view this season. Despite feeling less confident than a year ago, the Knicks are significantly better against top-six teams compared to last season. Is this proof that the Mike Brown era has a higher ceiling than the Tom Thibodeau era?

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.

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.

A full-on WFAN time machine. Evan and Greg Gianforte dig up 17-year-old audio from their days doing live “stringer updates” at a Lakers-Rockets Game 7 in Los Angeles. From overly dramatic stat reads to awkward transitions back to the studio, the guys relive the glory and the cringe of their early reporting days at Staples Center. Who sounded more polished? Who rambled? The self-scouting is ruthless. After the laughs, they pivot back to Mets baseball and make a bold prediction: when the season ends, Brett Baty may have logged the most innings at first base. What began as a Jorge Polanco assumption has completely shifted, and the reasoning behind the change says a lot about how this roster is evolving.
