Steve Cohen’s “Smoke” Joke, and the Worst Sports Talk Crime
Podcast: Evan & TikiPublished On: Fri Jan 16 2026
Description: It turns into an all-Rico day as Evan’s Kyle Tucker meltdown spills into the newsroom, the breaks, and basically the entire show. From there, the guys pivot to a throwback clip of Steve Cohen admitting he wants the Mets to model themselves after the Dodgers, and why that gap still feels massive beyond the farm system. Then the conversation swings to how Tucker’s decision can ripple to the Yankees with Cody Bellinger, including why Toronto suddenly looms as a real threat if they are willing to throw big years and money around. And because it’s New York sports radio, the segment closes with a true courtroom drama: Evan’s infamous “Edwin Díaz re-signed” line versus Craig Carton’s “I believe” Kyle Tucker guarantee. Who committed the bigger sports talk felony, and can “I believe” really save you when you were ready to take credit if you were right?
