Evan & Tiki episodes

  • Hour 1: Yankees Lineup Fight, Aaron Judge Boo Debate & Opening Day Buzz
    On Opening Day Eve, Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive headfirst into a classic New York baseball argument with a fresh twist: who really makes the Yankees lineup, and why does everyone care so much? With Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone pushing back on the idea that the front office is calling the shots, the conversation turns into a spirited debate about analytics, perception, and whether fans should trust what they’re being told.
    The episode digs into the tension between data and gut instinct, the frustration surrounding the Yankees’ lineup construction, and what it all says about the modern game. Evan and Tiki also get into bold lineup theories, Aaron Judge as a possible leadoff hitter, Trent Grisham’s role, Jason Dominguez’s future, and the broader question of how much information is too much when trying to win in today’s baseball landscape.

  • Hour 2: Mets Bet on Carson Benge While Yankees Debate Judge at Leadoff
    Carson Benge making the Mets’ Opening Day roster sets the tone for a lively baseball-heavy conversation as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into what fans should realistically expect from a fast-rising rookie. They break down the excitement of a debut on Opening Day, the pressure that comes with first-round pedigree, and why a really good everyday player can still feel underrated when expectations soar.
    The discussion expands into the Yankees’ lineup questions, from whether Aaron Judge belongs in the leadoff spot to what the future holds for Jason Dominguez and the team’s young outfield depth. Along the way, Evan and Tiki mix sharp baseball takes with the kind of loose, funny back-and-forth that keeps the show moving, including prospect patience, trade hypotheticals, and a spirited argument over whether reclining your seat on an airplane is rude.

  • Hour 3: Booing Judge in Spring Training, Yankees Pressure, and a WFAN Feud
    Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into one of the strangest baseball debates of the spring: was Aaron Judge actually booed at a Yankees spring training game? Instead of taking the report at face value, they go back to the audio, break down each at-bat, and debate what the reaction really meant. From the difference between groans and boos to the absurdity of fans turning on a superstar in March, the conversation becomes a bigger look at how New York fans react and why.
    The episode also expands into a lively back-and-forth on Yankees expectations, whether “playing in New York” is a real thing, and how fan pressure shapes the way players are judged. Along the way, Evan and Tiki mix in sharp baseball takes on roster construction, postseason expectations, and the Yankees’ outlook, plus the kind of off-the-rails WFAN energy that includes movie nostalgia, wrestling arguments, and an unexpected on-air haircut offer.

    They also bounce through the kind of arguments that make sports talk great, including draft credibility and media influence, Justin Fields’ unusual career path, fantasy-style player comparisons, Babe Ruth folklore, and whether classic games still hold up when you already know the ending. It’s a sharp, funny conversation about fandom, memory, and why the return of baseball changes everything.

Plus, the excitement of meaningful games returns after a long stretch of lackluster sports moments for New York fans.
    The conversation then shifts to the NFL Draft, where questions about analyst credibility and potential conflicts of interest take center stage. A heated debate unfolds over quarterback rankings, shifting narratives, and whether outside influences are shaping opinions. Add in lively calls from listeners—from fantasy baseball dilemmas to a legendary Babe Ruth story—and it’s a packed, thought-provoking episode.

  • Did Aaron Judge Really Get Booed? Evan and Tiki Investigate
    Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber zero in on the surprising report that Aaron Judge was booed during a Yankees spring training game, and Evan does not let it slide without evidence. By going back to the radio call and listening to Judge’s at-bats, they sort out what was real, what was exaggerated, and what the reaction actually sounded like. The result is a fun but revealing debate about fan behavior, media reports, and why even a spring training moment can turn into a real New York baseball conversation.
    From there, the discussion opens up into a bigger argument about booing star players, what fans are really reacting to when Judge hears it, and whether “learning how to play in New York” is an actual skill or just an overused sports cliché. Along the way, Evan and Tiki balance humor with sharp perspective on expectations, pressure, and the different ways athletes and fans interpret criticism in a market that always has something to say.
