The Yankees could consider trading Jazz, but with his clutch home runs should they? Plus the Mets next manager may have already been offered the job.

Jazz Chisholm’s latest power surge has Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash convinced the Yankees cannot afford to move him before the trade deadline. His inconsistency remains maddening, but his production in high-leverage moments gives the lineup an October weapon it desperately needs. The debate turns to Luis Arraez, where he would play, and whether the Yankees should sacrifice defense by moving Jazz around the diamond. Uncertainty surrounding Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton makes the deadline even more complicated, while Jose Caballero continues to strengthen his case for more playing time over Anthony Volpe. Plus, Freddy Peralta’s brutal return to Milwaukee leads to harsh criticism of David Stearns, and Evan delivers an early NFC East prediction that the Dallas Cowboys will win the division.

Jose Caballero’s pitch clock gamesmanship has opponents furious, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber explain why his ability to get under their skin could make him even more valuable to the Yankees. They also debate whether Anthony Volpe deserves to lose playing time and why Dennis Santana’s reaction missed the mark. The conversation turns to grim Jets predictions, the team’s new white uniforms, a welcome gesture from the Mets and Brian Cashman’s history of making midseason moves. Plus, the crew discusses Freddy Peralta’s struggles, Malik Nabers’ recovery and what the Yankees must accomplish at the trade deadline.

Carlos Beltran confirmed the Mets approached him about managing, and Evan Roberts believes his answer revealed something much bigger. Evan predicts Beltran will manage a New York team next season, warning Mets fans that the Yankees remain a legitimate threat if Brian Cashman moves on from Aaron Boone. Tiki Barber hears more hesitation, arguing Beltran may prefer his comfortable advisory role over the risks of managing. Evan also blasts the Mets for firing Beltran after the Astros scandal and explains why the unfinished business still matters. Plus, the crew debates LeBron James’ most entertaining destination, reacts to ESPN and NFL Network layoffs, examines whether Aaron Judge truly provides lineup protection for Cody Bellinger, and reaches a breaking point with the Mets, wildfire smoke and an overused wrestling gimmick.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber evaluate the Yankees' potential pursuit of Tarik Skubal and the merits of trading for a starting pitcher versus an offensive threat. They also dive into LeBron James' future and celebrate the announcement of WFAN’s new distribution deal with SiriusXM. 01:50 - Tarik Skubal Trade Debate 07:35 - Jazz Chisholm Trade Talk 11:00 - LeBron James Landing Spots 18:20 - The Tiki Time Machine 24:45 - WFAN Joins SiriusXM 32:35 - Harbaugh On Zay Flowers 38:10 - Mets Midseason Management Success 42:50 - Sean’s Netflix Receiver Gig

WFAN’s upcoming arrival on SiriusXM sends Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber down memory lane, including Evan’s remarkable decision to quit his Sirius job so he would not miss the Mets’ 2006 playoff run. Evan explains why he took the financial gamble, how the season ended in heartbreak and why the risk ultimately helped launch his full-time career at WFAN. Evan and Tiki also react to John Harbaugh making light of Jaxson Dart’s backflip, debate whether the Giants coach should address it privately and examine whether different offseason moves could have pushed the Mets into a pennant race.

The Yankees may not desperately need another starter, but Evan Roberts argues they cannot pass on the chance to acquire Tarik Skubal. With Gerrit Cole pitching well and Max Fried nearing a return, the debate centers on whether Brian Cashman should turn an already strong rotation into a postseason superpower or preserve top prospects for the offense and bullpen. A caller then proposes trading Jazz Chisholm for Francisco Lindor, sparking disbelief and a debate over Chisholm’s clutch production. Plus, the crew ranks LeBron James’ potential destinations based on the threat each would pose to the Knicks, considers whether Cleveland offers the perfect farewell story, and unveils a new segment called the Tiki Time Machine.

Cinco de Luncho returns with the five things Shaun Morash cannot stand for another minute this summer. The Mets have become exhausting, wildfire smoke keeps threatening the Northeast, fast-food complaints are out of control and Danhausen’s overused gimmick has officially reached its breaking point. Plus, a caller challenges David Stearns’ lack of playing experience, sparking a debate over whether the Mets need more former players like Carlos Beltran influencing baseball decisions.

Carlos Beltran confirmed the Mets approached him about managing, but his answer convinced Evan Roberts that he is waiting for the right New York opportunity. Evan predicts Beltran will manage either the Mets or Yankees next season, while Tiki Barber believes Beltran may be too comfortable in his advisory role to take the risk. The debate turns to Aaron Boone’s future, the Yankees’ past interest in Beltran and the unfinished business surrounding the Mets firing him after the Astros scandal. Evan also argues that Beltran’s availability could push Brian Cashman toward a managerial change, while the crew examines whether lineup protection can actually be measured through the pitches Cody Bellinger sees without Aaron Judge.

Brian Cashman will make moves at the trade deadline, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber warn that simply doing something will not be enough. They examine Cashman’s long history of midseason deals, revisit the Yankees’ quiet 2019 deadline and debate whether passing on Robbie Ray cost them a better shot at the World Series. Evan also makes the case that acquiring David Justice remains Cashman’s greatest midseason trade. The conversation also turns to Malik Nabers looking healthier ahead of Giants training camp, the Mets giving ticket holders a small fan-appreciation perk and Evan dominating Tiki in Shaun Morash’s World Cup-themed edition of Posted and Toasted.

Jose Caballero’s pitch-clock gamesmanship ignited a benches-clearing confrontation with Dennis Santana, but the real controversy came afterward. Santana’s claim that Caballero’s tactics were unnecessary in a three-run game gets ripped as ridiculous, while Caballero earns praise for embracing the villain role and giving the Yankees an edge they have lacked. The debate also strengthens the case for playing Caballero over Anthony Volpe. Plus, Freddy Peralta’s Mets struggles raise fears that he will rediscover his form after a trade, and the Jets’ defensive talent, new whiteout uniforms and far-fetched AFC Championship hopes come under the microscope.

A caller is ready to drive Jazz Chisholm to the airport for Luis Arraez, but Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash strongly reject the idea of subtracting a dangerous bat during a playoff push. Even with his flaws, Jazz gives the Yankees power, athleticism and late-game upside that would be difficult to replace. The debate then shifts to shortstop, where Jose Caballero’s energy and disciplined approach continue to separate him from Anthony Volpe. Caballero has already received most of the recent starts at short, but the hosts question whether Aaron Boone should make the change permanent and how Ryan McMahon factors into the best defensive alignment.

Freddy Peralta’s miserable return to Milwaukee leaves Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash stunned by his postgame admission that he does not know what is wrong. After another rough outing, the hosts argue that David Stearns cannot be protected by the idea that nobody could have predicted the deal failing. He gets credit when moves work, and he deserves the blame when they become disasters. The conversation also shifts to the Cowboys, where Evan makes an early declaration that Dallas will win the NFC East if its rebuilt defense can become merely respectable. Plus, the return of the offseason game “New Team, Who Dis” produces an immediate miss, and Aaron Boone’s vague update on Giancarlo Stanton creates even more uncertainty for the Yankees.

Jazz Chisholm’s explosive night against the Pirates proves why the Yankees cannot afford to trade him before the deadline. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash acknowledge Jazz’s frustrating inconsistency, but his power, energy and production in high-leverage moments make him essential to any potential October run. The pursuit of Luis Arraez creates a major lineup dilemma, potentially forcing Jazz back to third base or the outfield after years of complaints about playing Yankees out of position. With Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton facing uncertain returns, the Yankees may need to ignore defensive comfort and build the strongest possible offense. After months of low-scoring baseball, the eight-run outburst felt like a much-needed night at an open bar.

The Yankees can't ignore their offensive woes before the deadline, the World Cup gets settled, and Evan is back from vacation

The Yankees cannot score, Aaron Judge cannot be counted on to return soon, and the pressure is now squarely on Brian Cashman. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber argue that New York must stop waiting for struggling hitters to figure it out and aggressively upgrade an offense averaging barely more than three runs per game over the past month. Evan believes Cashman can recreate the franchise-changing impact of the 2017 trade deadline, while Tiki warns that standing pat and trusting the current roster is no longer acceptable. The conversation turns to possible catcher and infield upgrades, whether top prospect George Lombard Jr. could provide a spark, and why every defensive or baserunning mistake becomes magnified when the lineup cannot produce. Evan also calls the World Cup final an abomination, the surging Red Sox and Orioles create more anxiety, and Joe Davis infuriates the crew with another shot at the Yankees.

Cam Skattebo’s backflip slip at Fanatics Fest alarms Giants fans and sparks a debate over whether the rookie is taking an unnecessary risk so close to training camp. Evan Roberts is surprised that Tiki Barber shared Shaun Morash’s concern, while Skattebo insists the bouncy floor caused the fall and promises he will not get hurt before the season. Evan, Tiki and Shaun also debate whether Jalen Brunson’s response to a LeBron James recruiting question revealed that the Knicks captain does not want him in New York. Plus, the Yankees’ trade deadline options, the Mets’ difficult sell-off, and WWE’s awkward use of injured stars Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton.

Jalen Brunson officially owns New York’s throne, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are enforcing it. From now on, anyone who fails to call the Knicks captain “King Brunson” owes a fine, but Shaun Morash launches a full protest and vows to avoid saying Brunson’s name altogether. The debate also exposes a new rule for New York royalty: no championship means no crown. Fanatics Fest sparks another major Knicks argument as Shaun predicts a championship hangover, early injuries and a clunky season after a summer of celebrating. The crew also erupts over a ridiculous George Lombard Jr. trade proposal, weighs the Mets’ future, debates Premier League fandom and relives Evan’s disastrous airport encounter that ended with expensive sweatpants and a seat covered in dog urine.

The discussion spans a potential WWE career for Tom Brady, evaluating his recent public run-ins with Logan Paul and how a professional wrestling storyline might be better booked. They also break down the Yankees' struggles without Aaron Judge and examine a trade rumor involving Freddie Peralta returning to Milwaukee. 01:51 - Jet Roberts and the Archives 05:01 - Freddie Peralta Trade Rumors 10:39 - Mets vs. Brewers Preview 13:50 - Artie's Soccer Frustrations 19:12 - Yankees Record Without Judge 24:06 - Evan's Airport Mishap 27:32 - Dodgers and Phillies Analysis 33:34 - International Soccer Discussion 38:13 - Mets Prospect History 41:29 - Tom Brady WWE Rumors

The Freddy Peralta trade has failed, and the Mets may now face the humiliating possibility of sending him straight back to Milwaukee. Evan Roberts argues that New York must ignore the awful optics and accept the best available return, even if it comes from the Brewers, while questions grow about whether David Stearns can be trusted to clean up the mess. Evan also predicts Peralta will deliver his best start as a Met in his emotional return to Milwaukee, potentially making it his final appearance with New York. Then the conversation turns to the most Mets possibility imaginable: trading Peralta just days before fans are scheduled to receive his bobblehead at Citi Field.

The Knicks may have finally won it all, but Shaun Morash believes the celebration is becoming a warning sign. His biggest takeaway from Fanatics Fest is that New York looks primed for a championship hangover, launching a debate with Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber over whether a slow start would matter after ending a 53-year drought. Shaun’s Fanatics Fest list also includes encouraging signs from Malik Nabers, questions about whether LeBron James knows where he wants to finish his career and concern that the Giants’ young personalities will not tone things down. The conversation closes with Evan explaining his decision to spend $180 on sweatpants after a chaotic travel experience.

Jalen Brunson has officially replaced Aaron Judge as the active King of New York, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are turning the coronation into law. Every mention must now be “King Brunson,” with a fine for anyone who refuses. Shaun Morash rejects the ruling, declares a “No Kings” protest and threatens to avoid Brunson’s name completely rather than bow to the Knicks captain. The argument expands into what truly makes a New York sports king, whether a championship is required and how long Brunson can hold the throne. Then the show erupts again when a caller proposes sending Mets players to the Yankees for George Lombard Jr., sparking a heated fight over prospect value, trade logic and whether Evan is disrespecting the Yankees’ prized young player.

Jalen Brunson’s response to a question about recruiting LeBron James ignites a sharp debate over what the Knicks captain really meant. Evan Roberts believes Brunson’s noncommittal answer showed he does not want LeBron in New York, while Tiki Barber argues Brunson simply trusts the front office and will play with whoever joins the roster. The focus then shifts to the Mets’ trade deadline, where Evan explains why expiring contracts and valuable relievers should be moved for the best possible return, even if fans are left evaluating unfamiliar prospects. Plus, the crew breaks down WWE’s Knicks-heavy Madison Square Garden show, why Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton looked awkward in limited roles, and the dream of eventually seeing their NBA rivalry become a real wrestling match.

Cam Skattebo’s backflip slip at Fanatics Fest sends a scare through Giants fans just before training camp. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether the rookie’s athletic stunt was harmless fun or an unnecessary risk for a player returning from a season-ending injury, while Skattebo explains how the bouncy floor caused him to over-rotate and insists he is completely healthy. The conversation also turns to the Yankees’ difficult search for trade deadline help, why the Mets’ collapse is not a fair comparison for the Yankees, and whether elite defense can make a low-scoring soccer match exciting. Plus, the crew critiques WWE’s Knicks-heavy Madison Square Garden show and explains why Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton’s limited roles felt awkward.

The Red Sox have ripped off 13 straight wins, the Orioles are charging back into the race, and the Yankees suddenly have real competition breathing down their necks. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether Boston could become an October nightmare and why New York’s elite pitching will not be enough if the offense remains lifeless. The pressure again shifts to Brian Cashman as the crew debates possible catcher and infield upgrades, the cost of pursuing Hunter Goodman and whether a smaller move could become the Yankees’ version of Todd Frazier. Then Evan unloads on Joe Davis after the broadcaster points to a “gap in details” between the Yankees and Dodgers, calling the criticism another example of Davis being compromised.

Evan Roberts calls the World Cup final a boring abomination, but Tiki Barber strongly defends the match as a gripping defensive battle. Evan argues that a championship game needs action from both sides, pointing to Argentina’s lack of shots and Lionel Messi’s limited impact as proof that the finale failed to deliver. Tiki counters that Spain’s defensive dominance and Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez’s performance made the match fascinating for fans who understood what they were watching. The debate turns into a larger argument over whether soccer needs scoring to be entertaining, with Tiki comparing the experience to watching a pitching duel and insisting Evan needed a knowledgeable fan beside him to fully appreciate it.

The Yankees offense is drowning, Aaron Judge cannot be counted on to return soon, and Evan Roberts says Brian Cashman now has two weeks to save the season. Evan points to Cashman’s aggressive 2017 trade deadline as the blueprint, arguing that New York needs impact bats instead of waiting for Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells and others to suddenly turn things around. Tiki Barber agrees the Yankees can no longer assume struggling players will figure it out, but warns there is no obvious answer on the trade market. With the lineup averaging just over three runs per game for a month, Evan and Tiki debate catcher and infield upgrades, a possible George Lombard Jr. call-up and why every mistake becomes devastating when the Yankees cannot score.

We discuss the lack of player development in youth travel leagues and the strategic risks of locking up young stars like Ben Rice before they hit free agency.

The Yankees offense has reached a historic low, but finding a solution is far more complicated than identifying the problem.

Evan also revisits the argument for trading for Tarik Skubal, insisting that the Yankees should focus on winning now rather than worrying about the distant future.

The Yankees struck out at an alarming rate, but Evan argues that their problems go far beyond missed swings. Will Warren struggled against the bottom of Tampa Bay’s lineup, Cody Bellinger made another costly mistake, and the uncertainty surrounding Aaron Judge has left the offense without an obvious solution.

Pairing him with Gerrit Cole and Max Fried could give New York the dominant rotation it needs to survive a flawed American League and make a serious championship run.

Could tension between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto be affecting the Mets, or is their relationship being overanalyzed? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber examine how the arrival of Soto may have changed the clubhouse dynamic, whether Lindor should remain part of the Mets’ future, and why trading a star shortstop is easier to suggest than execute. The conversation also turns to the Yankees’ flaws, Aaron Boone’s continued faith in Anthony Volpe, and whether New York is still the best team in a weak American League. Plus, Evan and Tiki react to Sean Payton’s remarkable idea involving Bill Belichick, debate the appeal of European soccer, and explore how a potential MLB lockout could reshape free agency.

Did one missing welcome message create lasting tension between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto?

They debate what it would take for soccer to earn the same local loyalty as baseball, basketball, and football. The conversation returns to the Yankees as Jose Caballero delivers the clear turning point with a three run homer against Tampa Bay. Belgium celebrates its World Cup victory with some pointed trolling, Evan gives Connor Green his deserved recognition, and Tiki discovers that CM Punk has not ghosted him after all.

The Yankees offense raises serious concerns without Aaron Judge, while Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber revisit their wildly different Team USA predictions and celebrate CM Punk winning another championship. They also take an unexpected dive into NBA Summer League, discuss which young Nets could make a leap, and explain why Belgium matched the moment while the United States looked disconnected. Evan even gets a lesson on the defender lying behind the wall during a soccer free kick.

Team USA failed to rise to the moment against Belgium, leaving Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber frustrated by the lack of aggression, defensive mistakes, and inability to match the intensity of a superior opponent. They also question whether American fans truly feel the same emotional investment in international soccer that they do with their favorite local teams.

The guys react to a fired up Yankees fan questioning Aaron Boone, Aaron Judge, and the team’s clubhouse vibe before shifting into hot dog rules, barbecue sauce strategy, and Shaun’s Cinco de Luncho ranking of America’s greatest nonpolitical moments. The hour wraps with soccer commentary talk, British accents, and more Fourth of July grilling opinions.

With Shaun Morash in for Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber reacts to the Knicks keeping a major piece of franchise history after the NBA pulls the Game 4 Finals ball from auction. The conversation turns into a bigger question about memorabilia, money, and how the Knicks are handling the business of a championship offseason. Shaun and Tiki also break down Landry Shamet returning, Mitchell Robinson’s uncertain future, Karl Anthony Towns and the second apron, and the possibility of LeBron James leaving the Lakers for the Warriors. Plus, callers jump in on Knicks joy, fireworks etiquette, and whether ketchup belongs on a hot dog.

Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber move from Fourth of July food debates back into the biggest New York sports concerns, starting with more questions about Juan Soto’s defense and effort in the Mets outfield. Callers push the conversation toward whether Soto’s value at the plate should outweigh the growing frustration with his play in the field. The football talk picks up with a CBS Sports hot seat list that puts Jets head coach Aaron Glenn under major pressure entering his second season. Shaun and Tiki debate whether Glenn is truly in danger, why the Giants should expect more from their roster, and whether the Yankees’ June issues are starting to look like the same warning signs that have hurt them in past Octobers.

Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber keep the Mets and Yankees conversation rolling as callers weigh in on Juan Soto’s defense, the Yankees’ trade needs, and whether fans are overreacting to another rough stretch. The discussion moves from Soto’s effort in the outfield to whether the Yankees should push harder for catching help. The show then shifts into a lighter mix of Knicks notes, old WFAN tweets, Fourth of July fireworks debates, and a spirited breakdown of proper holiday barbecue choices. Shaun and Tiki turn nostalgia, pandemic memories, hot dogs, burgers, mustard, ketchup, and taco dip into a lively summer sports radio detour.

The Mets keep finding new ways to make fans shake their heads, and Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber are not letting the latest mess slide. From Juan Soto’s bizarre outfield misplay to another round of LOL Mets frustration, the conversation turns a painful loss into a game of whether each moment truly matters. Shaun and Tiki dig into Soto’s decision not to address Eric Chavez’s comments, the strange on deck circle incident involving Ronny Mauricio and Francisco Alvarez, and why these mistakes feel bigger when a team is already spiraling. They also touch on World Cup hydration break controversy and the Yankees’ injury concerns, including whether their depth can hold up while key players work their way back.

Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber dig into the growing frustration around a Yankees team that still looks talented enough to win the American League but far too flawed to trust. With Ben Rice slumping, injuries thinning the lineup, and the offense still searching for answers, the conversation turns to whether Brian Cashman has built enough depth and whether the Yankees can truly dominate a weak league. Callers bring the heat on what the Yankees standard should be, pushing Shaun and Tiki into a bigger debate about Aaron Judge’s legacy if he never wins a World Series. From comparisons to all time greats who fell short to renewed questions about Aaron Boone’s leadership and who could eventually replace him, this segment captures the anxiety of a fan base tired of the same ending.

Shaun and Tiki react to Jazz Chisholm’s scary collision and turn it into a bigger conversation about trust, urgency, and the Yankees’ handling of injuries. What starts as a debate over dugout habits and a lollipop scare quickly becomes a serious question about whether the team should play it safe with one of its most important players. The conversation expands into Aaron Boone’s future, Brian Cashman’s deadline pressure, and whether the Yankees are built well enough to dominate a weak American League. Shaun and Tiki also dig into the roster holes, Ben Rice’s recent slump, the need for real additions, and why this Yankees season may ultimately be judged by whether they finally get back to the World Series.

The Yankees are stumbling through another June swoon, and Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber are asking whether this is just a rough patch or a sign of a much bigger problem. With the offense disappearing, mistakes piling up, and Tampa Bay moving back in front, the pressure around the Yankees is starting to feel impossible to ignore. Shaun and Tiki dig into the injuries, fatigue, poor fundamentals, and leadership questions surrounding Aaron Boone as the same concerns keep resurfacing year after year. The conversation turns to whether Boone’s messaging is enough, why Giancarlo Stanton’s presence feels missed, and what another season without a championship could mean for the Yankees manager.

Following a historically brutal weekend in Boston, we break down the Yankees' alarming offensive collapse and Aaron Boone's baffling post-game reaction. Plus, we look ahead to the trade deadline and debate whether it's finally time for Brian Cashman to go all-in.

The Mets don't have a manager issue, Carlos Mendoza is out and Andy Green can't find a way to win a series. P.S.

Shaun Morash is in for Evan alongside Tiki Barber for a loaded Monday show after a brutal weekend for New York baseball. The Yankees get swept in Boston, Aaron Boone’s postgame message raises more questions, and Shaun and Tiki debate whether the Yankees are really in panic mode or just badly in need of a deadline jolt. They break down the injury concerns around Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, the cold bats of Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger, the Austin Wells problem, Spencer Jones getting pinch hit for, Anthony Volpe’s flashes, and why Brian Cashman may have to go all-in. Then, the Mets mess takes center stage. Steve Cohen returns to social media for all the wrong reasons, a fan gets removed at Citi Field over a “Fire Stearns” sign, and Eric Chavez’s comments put even more heat on David Stearns. Shaun and Tiki also dive into Juan Soto’s role, Francisco Lindor’s leadership, the Mets’ broken culture, and why fans feel like the soul of the team has been ripped away. Plus, reaction to Chris Johnson’s ALS diagnosis, a quick Rangers thought, Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s maturity debate, and plenty of angry New York baseball calls.

The Yankees’ rough weekend in Boston has the panic meter moving, even if full blown alarm has not arrived yet. After a sweep by the Red Sox, the conversation turns to whether this is just a bad stretch or another sign of the same problems that have haunted the Yankees in recent seasons. Tiki and Shaun Morash dig into Aaron Boone’s postgame message, the injuries to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, the slumping bats of Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger, and the growing pressure on Brian Cashman to make real upgrades at the trade deadline. They also question the Yankees’ youth, from Spencer Jones to Austin Wells, and debate whether this roster has enough urgency to finally push through in October.

Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as the Mets’ lost season sparks a bigger conversation about Steve Cohen, frustrated fans and whether the organization has lost touch with the people filling Citi Field. Shaun and Tiki dig into Cohen’s social media response to a fan being removed over a Fire Stearns sign, the rising cost of parking, Eric Chavez’s criticism of David Stearns and the growing questions around Juan Soto’s role as a leader in the Mets clubhouse.

The Yankees are banged up, frustrated, and looking for accountability, and Jazz Chisholm is suddenly at the center of the conversation. After his ejection against the Red Sox and another missed chance to face the media, the show digs into why his talent is undeniable but his maturity is becoming a bigger issue. The crew also debates the Mets’ leadership void, whether Juan Soto is now the natural face of the clubhouse, and how Francisco Lindor’s role has changed. Plus, Alex joins for a World Cup preview, breaking down Team USA’s path, the best knockout matchups, and why the tournament’s energy in America has been impossible to ignore.

Shaun Morash vents his frustration regarding the technical hurdles and poor production of NBC's Sunday Night Baseball broadcast. He and Tiki Barber discuss the New York Mets' roster construction under David Stearns and the team's ongoing search for an identity. They also honor the career of former Tennessee Titans star Chris Johnson while reacting to his ALS diagnosis. 01:50 - NBC Broadcast Failure 08:44 - Costas Storytime Critique 13:00 - Mets Chemistry Debate 16:50 - Stearns Roster Analysis 21:30 - Niagara Falls Vacations 27:00 - Toy Story 5 Discussion 30:45 - Chris Johnson ALS Diagnosis 35:00 - Mets Farm System Review 40:20 - Yankees Pitching Struggles 44:10 - Organizational Leadership Concerns

A wide ranging show that moves from family movie outings to the biggest concerns in New York sports. A conversation about Toy Story 5 turns into a surprisingly thoughtful look at parenting, kids, technology and the lessons that can hit harder when you least expect them. The segment also features an emotional caller sharing his family’s experience with ALS while the guys react to the heartbreaking news about former NFL star Chris Johnson. From there, the focus shifts to the Mets’ ongoing frustration, questions about David Stearns and Steve Cohen, and the Yankees trying to recover after a rough stretch against Boston.

Shaun Morash, in for Evan Roberts, and Tiki Barber turn their frustration toward the Yankees Red Sox broadcast, where the biggest issue for fans may have started before the action on the field. After a long night that already included a painful Yankees loss, the confusion around actually finding the game on NBC became another aggravating part of the experience. The guys react to how a marquee rivalry matchup turned into a viewing headache, with fans left asking when they were actually going to get the game. It is a sharp, funny, and relatable rant about modern sports broadcasts, streaming confusion, and why Yankees fans had one more reason to be annoyed.

School is out, summer energy is in the air, and the show turns its focus to the World Cup buzz building across America. With Alex joining as the soccer voice of the conversation, the crew breaks down Team USA’s confidence, the path ahead, and the knockout matchups that casual fans should be watching.

Jazz Chisholm’s talent is not the question, but his latest ejection and postgame absence have turned into a bigger conversation about maturity, accountability, and what the Yankees need from him while key stars are injured. Shaun and Tiki dig into why Jazz is so valuable, why his decisions are so frustrating, and why Anthony Rizzo’s comments may have revealed how others in the clubhouse really feel. The conversation also shifts to the Mets and the complicated leadership picture around Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, and the loss of Brandon Nimmo. From Soto becoming the default face of the team to Lindor’s injury management and Nimmo’s role as a clubhouse connector, the episode explores how both New York baseball teams are searching for stability in very different ways.

Eric Chavez’s criticism of David Stearns opens the door to a bigger Mets conversation about accountability, roster construction and whether the organization handed too much control to a front office that has not delivered. The discussion digs into Stearns’ reported contract, the breakup of the Mets’ core, Juan Soto’s complicated role in the clubhouse and why Francisco Lindor may have been pushed aside as the team’s natural leader.

The Mets’ lost season has turned into something bigger than wins and losses, with Steve Cohen facing fresh criticism over how he communicates with frustrated fans. The conversation centers on the fan removed from Citi Field over a Fire Stearns sign, Cohen’s response on social media and the backlash over rising parking prices. Shaun and Tiki also touch on Yankees leadership issues before reacting to the Rangers adding young goal scorer Pavel Dorofeyev.

Tiki and Shaun Morash debate whether the Yankees can afford patience with a roster built to win right now. The conversation centers on Brian Cashman, the trade deadline, the need for a catcher and bullpen help, and whether a bold move for a top arm like Tarik Skubal should be on the table. They also dig into Anthony Volpe’s flashes of winning baseball, Austin Wells’ continued struggles, and Aaron Boone’s habit of publicly cushioning players instead of demanding more. Tiki connects it to his own career, explaining why excuses can be more damaging than criticism when a player knows he has to be better.

Tiki and Shaun Morash dig deeper into why the Yankees’ slump feels familiar, even if it is not time for full blown panic. With Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton hurt, the offense looks exposed, the roster’s age is showing, and the lack of dependable depth is becoming a bigger concern by the day. The conversation turns to Aaron Boone’s leadership style, the struggles of Austin Wells, and the troubling sign of Max Schuemann pinch hitting for Spencer Jones in a big spot. Tiki and Shaun also debate whether Brian Cashman can afford anything less than an aggressive trade deadline for a Yankees team that needs to win now.

Tiki and Shaun Morash open with heartfelt thoughts for Chris Johnson after his ALS diagnosis, then turn to a rough Yankees weekend that has fans questioning how real the June swoon has become. After being swept in Boston, the Yankees are still not in full blown panic territory, but the warning signs are getting harder to ignore. The conversation focuses on the Yankees’ cold offense, the uncertain timelines for Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, and whether Aaron Boone’s upbeat postgame message matches the urgency of the moment. Tiki and Shaun also debate the roster’s age, lack of depth, and whether Brian Cashman needs to treat the trade deadline as a must act moment for a team built to win now.

Conor Green takes over Cinco de Luncho with a supposedly positive list for Evan Roberts and Nets fans, but every reason quickly becomes another perfectly aimed jab. What starts as a pick me up turns into a full roast of Brooklyn’s fan base, future hopes, and painfully quiet championship dreams.
