Evan & Tiki

Are the Giants actually listening on Kayvon Thibodeaux at the Combine, and if so, what’s the real return that makes it worth it? Shaun and Tiki break down why dumping Kayvon for a Day 3 pick feels like malpractice, why waves of pass rush matter, and what a smarter player-for-player deal could look like.

Then the conversation expands into other names floating around the league: Tremaine Edmunds as a potential linebacker fix, Sam LaPorta as a dream weapon for a young QB, and why Jeremiah Love at No. 5 screams smokescreen. Plus, callers weigh in on Caleb Downs, the Giants’ real needs (LB, CB, OT), and the risk of “luxury picks” when you’re not good enough yet.

The clip is everywhere: Aaron Glenn at the Combine looking like he’s “resting his eyes” on national TV. The show opens by defending how brutally boring the Combine is, then gets real about what matters in 2026, optics. For a Jets coach already under a microscope, that moment turns into instant Jets lore, and the crew debates whether he will ever shake it once the season starts.

Then the calls flood in and the Jets embarrassment fatigue is loud. Connor Green speaks for the fan base that is tired of becoming a weekly meme, while callers argue whether this is harmless, unacceptable, or a sign of bigger problems. The conversation also touches the fallout of the Jermaine Johnson trade and why the Jets absolutely have to hit on their premium draft picks.

From there it’s back to the Giants: draft smoke, Kayvon Thibodeaux trade chatter, and the larger question of who is actually safe as Big Blue reshapes the roster. The show also digs into the anxiety of losing free agents and how quickly “cap savings” turns into desperation when you still need starters.

And yes, the Mets take over a chunk of the hour too. Carlos Mendoza names Freddie Peralta the Opening Day starter, which sparks the debate Mets fans did not want: should the homegrown phenom Nolan McLean have gotten the honor, especially with Paul Skenes lined up on the other side? The crew breaks down why the Peralta choice feels like a recruitment pitch for an impending free agent, why fans wanted the electric McLean vs. Skenes matchup, and whether “your ace must start Opening Day” is a hard rule or just a tradition.

The leaked NFLPA report cards spark a New York football reckoning. The Giants get crushed, including Joe Schoen landing the lowest GM grade in the league, while the Jets somehow come out glowing and Aaron Glenn grades out as one of the best-liked head coaches. And of course, MetLife’s field gets dragged again, with World Cup grass plans creating even more questions.

Then it’s Cinco De Luncho time: in honor of the Giancarlo Stanton “can’t open a bag of chips” saga, we draft the Top 5 hardest things to open. Plus, Mets fans argue Opening Day pitching drama, Jets fans debate drafting offense vs. defense, and the show detonates into Rangers chaos as Adam Fox’s reaction fuels a full-blown Chris Drury and Mike Sullivan freakout.

Full Show: The Giants could trade Kayvon Thibodeau, Aaron Glenn gets a little sleepy at the Combine, the Mets have their Opening Day starter, Tiki discusses space travel and aliens, and much more.

The final hour is packed with controversy, rumors, and classic offseason chaos. The guys react to revealing audio from Adam Fox and what it could mean for his future with the New York Rangers, plus growing tension surrounding front office decisions from Chris Drury and Mike Sullivan.

This segment starts with real tension in Rangers land and somehow ends in a full-blown extraterrestrial argument. Callers and hosts dive into the fallout surrounding Adam Fox, questions about leadership decisions, Team USA snubs, and whether the Rangers dismantled the core around him. Is Fox quietly fed up, or is this all overblown?

Then the show swerves into pure everyday frustration as listeners nominate the most impossible things to open on Earth, from razor-sharp plastic clamshell packaging to pickle jars that feel welded shut. Pro tips, battle scars, and universal rage included.

And just when you think it can’t get more chaotic, the phones light up with debates about Derek Jeter’s defense, Gold Gloves vs advanced metrics, and whether the eye test still matters.

Finally, things go completely cosmic. Ancient aliens, the Fermi paradox, dinosaurs in space suits, and the mind-bending size of the universe take over as the crew argues that alien life almost certainly exists… but will probably never find us.

Cinco De Luncho delivers a painfully relatable draft after Giancarlo Stanton’s injury update revealed he can’t even open a bag of chips. That sparks the ultimate debate: what are the absolute hardest everyday things to open?

From vacuum-sealed jars to impossible packaging and diner condiments that refuse to cooperate, the crew counts down the Top 5 most infuriating items that test your strength, patience, and dignity. Expect personal horror stories, kitchen fails, and the kind of chaos that only a Friday lunch hour can produce.

The leaked NFLPA player report cards kick off the show, and the New York teams land on opposite ends of the spectrum. Giants players hammer the organization, handing Joe Schoen the worst GM grade in the entire league while facility issues and roster frustration take center stage. Meanwhile, the Jets receive strong marks across the board, including major praise for Aaron Glenn from players.

The one thing both teams agree on? MetLife Stadium’s playing surface is a disaster, earning an F-minus and reigniting concerns about injuries, turf stigma, and the upcoming World Cup grass overhaul. Does any of this actually matter, or is it just offseason noise? The guys break down what’s real, what’s changing, and what fans should actually care about.

Mets fans wanted the movie scene: Nolan McLean at Citi Field on Opening Day, homegrown phenom vs. Paul Skenes, two young flamethrowers kicking off the season with electricity. Instead, Carlos Mendoza goes with Freddie Peralta as the Opening Day starter, and it sets off a classic New York debate about what matters more: the ace, the moment, or the message.

The show dives into why McLean has fans dreaming big. The kid looks like the future of Mets pitching, and Mets history is built on arms. But body of work still counts, and Peralta is the established top-of-the-rotation guy, even if he is only guaranteed for one season.

The clip everyone is talking about: Aaron Glenn on camera at the Combine looking like he caught a quick nap at the worst possible time. The show starts with some sympathy because anyone who has sat through the Combine knows how brutally long and dull it can be. But in New York, perception is reality, and for a Jets coach already under scrutiny, this becomes instant ammunition for critics and internet trolls alike.

The crew breaks down why it is both unfair and unavoidable. Glenn might have just been “resting his eyes,” but once the cameras catch it, it becomes part of Jets lore. From comparisons to infamous New York sports moments to the fear that this clip will resurface every time something goes wrong this season, the conversation dives into how narratives stick and why Glenn may never fully escape it.

Jet fans then take over the show, venting years of frustration and embarrassment fatigue. Connor Green voices what many supporters feel: it is not even about wins anymore, it is about begging the team to stop becoming a weekly punchline. Callers debate whether Glenn should have been more self-aware, how much blame is fair, and why it always seems to be the Jets making headlines for the wrong reasons.
