Evan & Tiki

A brand-new Posted and Toasted kicks off with a rapid-fire trip through old takes and wild questions, including “Who leaves the Chargers first, Justin Herbert or Jim Harbaugh?” and a flashback to harsh Harbaugh slander that did not exactly age well.

Then the segment turns into a full-blown debate after Al Dukes posts a viral complaint about Ben Johnson’s “F the Packers” moment. Tiki is genuinely annoyed, Evan defends rivalry heat, and the guys argue whether fans actually want more personality from coaches or more “class.”

It gets even better when the show plays Ben Johnson’s response and he basically refuses to apologize, leaning into the rivalry. Add in a side quest about “skinny fat,” the YouTube chat judging Evan’s belly, and the whole thing becomes classic chaos.

The Giants’ coaching search heats up as the guys rank the top three teams that could realistically steal John Harbaugh away from New York. Cleveland is framed as the storm you monitor but do not fear, Atlanta’s ownership and reputation put them firmly in the mix, and Tennessee emerges as the surprise heavyweight with cap space, draft capital, and a quarterback Harbaugh might actually prefer.

The conversation shifts from fan logic to what truly matters in these decisions: ownership stability, roster flexibility, control, and long-term vision. Logan Ryan’s blunt criticism of Joe Shane sparks debate over bias versus truth, while callers weigh in on Tom Coughlin’s reported outreach and whether behind-the-scenes relationships could help close the deal.

Plus, the show takes a hilarious detour into what really happens at a coach recruiting lunch, who should bring the food, and why stadium talk might be nothing more than noise.

The NFL coaching carousel might be headed for history: the guys note the league could be staring at a record number of head coach openings if Pittsburgh joins the party. Then the show pivots into full New York sports pain, with the Rangers getting buried, “Fire Drury” chants, and the Nets openly tanking.

After that, it’s Steelers fan therapy time. They play viral fan reactions that range from blaming Arthur Smith to blaming the crowd itself, then get into the uncomfortable part: if Pittsburgh moves on from Tomlin, are there even enough legit candidates to replace a guy who never has a losing season? The debate turns into a bigger sports question: when you’re sick of the ceiling, is blowing it up worth the risk?

The hour finishes with a sharp breakdown of Aaron Rodgers’ sideline blowups and why it hits differently when you have not earned years of trust in a locker room. Jets perspective, Steelers perspective, and the brutal truth about disappointment all collide.

Another January, another familiar ending in Pittsburgh. The Steelers bow out early, the offense goes silent, and Steeler fans immediately turn their frustration toward Mike Tomlin. But the conversation shifts to a more uncomfortable question: what if Tomlin is the one who’s ready to move on?

The guys break down the post Ben Roethlisberger quarterback void, the never-ending coordinator carousel, and why the Steelers’ constant playoff appearances may actually be trapping them in mediocrity. They explore the Sean Payton comparison, the idea of Tomlin stepping away to reset, and why that scenario could quietly benefit the Jets while complicating things for the Giants. Plus, Aaron Rodgers’ latest playoff exit raises real questions about his future and whether this version of Rodgers can still lift a team when it matters most.

The Giants get good news out of Green Bay, plus a full recap of perhaps the greatest Wild Card Weekend ever

Wild Card Weekend had everything, including one brutal Packers collapse that had everyone wondering if Matt LaFleur could actually be in trouble. Then Adam Schefter pours water on it with a new contract expectation, and Evan and Tiki connect the dots to the coaching carousel and why John Harbaugh might be the one move that freezes everything else.

The guys hit the Sirianni vs AJ Brown sideline blowup, what Philly’s loss really means, and why Giants fans can probably relax about certain “new” vacancies. Then they dive into the Bills vs Jaguars finish and the debate that took over sports bars everywhere: kneel at the 1 and bleed clock, or take the touchdown and trust your defense? Plus, the end-of-half officiating mess that almost became the story of the week.

Also in Hour 1: why the Jets feel like they’re playing a different sport after watching playoff football, what makes the Patriots defense so hard to diagnose, and Tony Romo’s all time confusing broadcast moment that had everyone asking, “What game are you watching?”

Hour 2 starts with one of the strangest timing moments you’ll hear all season: the Bears are in the middle of an epic home playoff comeback against the Packers when news breaks that the Cubs are stunningly signing Alex Bregman. Evan and Tiki debate how a city even processes a massive baseball move during the biggest football night in years, plus a Barstool meltdown from the Boston side of the deal.

Then the calls take over, starting with a deep dive into the modern fourth down obsession and the Jaguars decision to pass up points against Buffalo, especially after being gifted field position. The guys break down why “take the points” still matters in January and how one empty possession can flip a playoff game.

The hour also hits the Jets fan reality check after watching real playoff football, the quarterback trade up fantasies, and why one Fernando Mendoza quote might have ended Jets dreams on the spot. Plus: the Liam Cohen press conference moment that has media people furious, a debate on whether a reporter can be supportive, and a round of playoff hot takes including which coaches are easiest and hardest to root for.

Hour 3 opens with the biggest win of Wild Card Weekend: the games were awesome, competitive, and for once the NFL escaped without a single officiating disaster hijacking the conversation. Evan and Tiki love that the storyline stayed on football, and they argue the league feels completely wide open, with guaranteed new blood headed to the Super Bowl.

The guys then hit the funniest “info win” from the weekend, including a bizarre baseball stat tied to a Bills defender that somehow becomes a running joke for Buffalo’s playoff run.

Calls follow on how to combat tanking in the NFL, Buffalo’s chances on the road, and why the Bills’ path is brutal even if the vibes feel like “this is their year.” Then it turns into full Jets fan pain as Evan lays out the nightmare remaining AFC field, debates what would hurt Jets fans most, and gets pulled into a Justin Herbert discussion: is he overrated or just stuck with no help?

The hour also includes Cinco de Luncho ranking the Wild Card games, Yankees anxiety over Cody Bellinger, Mets hopes for Kyle Tucker, and a darkly hilarious Jets Super Bowl timeline that spirals all the way into the distant future.

Evan & Tiki close out the show with a wide-ranging and emotional final hour, headlined by Evan’s raw rant on why it’s never been more depressing to be a Jets fan. The guys dive into the “LOL Jets” stigma, Davante Adams’ unnecessary shade, and whether the franchise is miles behind the rest of the AFC. Plus, a spirited debate on whether fans can (or should) ever abandon their team, stories about long playoff droughts, and why winning after decades of pain just hits different.
