Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle react to one of the wildest viral police stop videos ever, a cop accuses a woman of holding her phone in her “right hand”… except she doesn’t HAVE a right hand. Craig can’t stop laughing as the guys break down the unbelievable bodycam footage and the officer still giving her a ticket. Plus, the guys dive into the Knicks waiting for the NBA Finals, why every Knicks fan should root for a Spurs-Thunder Game 7, and why Gerrit Cole’s dominant outing has Yankees fans dreaming big.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the Giants locker room conversation surrounding Jaxson Dart, Abdul Carter and the political noise that suddenly resurfaced around the team. What first seemed like a small controversy has become a bigger question about leadership, leaks and whether the Giants can keep outside distractions from taking attention away from football.

Evan and Tiki discuss why the issue may have been addressed internally, how John Harbaugh could handle questions about it, and why a modern locker room has to navigate different personalities, politics and public comments. They also debate whether this is truly a problem for the Giants or just noise that will only matter if the team fails to win.

We started with President Trump saying he’s going to attend a Knicks finals game at the Garden and we wondered what type of reaction he would get from the crowd. Umm...

On The Carton Show, Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle unload on the disastrous state of the New York Mets after another embarrassing loss to the Reds. Craig says the Mets season is officially OVER, questions Steve Cohen’s leadership, rips David Stearns’ expensive rebuild, and explains why New York is now a “one baseball town” with the Yankees rolling and the Mets collapsing.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the one matchup issue that could drive Knicks fans crazy in a potential NBA Finals showdown with Oklahoma City: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s ability to draw fouls. SGA’s free throw hunting becomes the center of the debate as they compare his whistle to Jalen Brunson’s and ask why one star gets to the line so much more than the other.

The conversation turns into a larger look at how officiating could shape the series, why foul trouble may be just as dangerous as the points SGA scores at the line, and whether Knicks fans should actually want the Thunder because beating the defending champs would silence every critic. Evan and Tiki also weigh the appeal of facing Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs, while making the case that any championship path is valid if the Knicks finish the job.

If the Knicks win it all, every player on that team will be immortalized. Boomer compared Brunson to Aaron Judge on how he goes about his business.

Craig reacts to the Knicks’ dominant playoff run, calls out all the doubters who trashed Mike Brown, Mikal Bridges, and Leon Rose earlier this season, and explains why this Knicks team is unlike ANYTHING the NBA has ever seen.

From Jalen Brunson’s leadership to the Knicks destroying teams in closeout games, Carton says this run has officially become historic. Plus, Craig gives credit to James Dolan and Leon Rose for letting the PLAYERS have the spotlight after winning the Eastern Conference.

The Knicks are headed to the NBA Finals, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber capture the surreal feeling of a franchise long defined by frustration suddenly looking like the most dominant team in basketball. What once felt impossible now feels real, as New York has turned playoff closeout games into statements and forced even skeptical fans to believe.

Evan and Tiki break down how the Knicks overwhelmed Cleveland, why their defensive transformation has changed everything, and how contributions from Jalen Brunson, Karl Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, Landry Shamet, Deuce McBride, and Jose Alvarado have made this team so dangerous. They also push back on criticism of the Knicks’ path, arguing that New York can only beat the teams in front of them and has done it with historic force.

We started the show with the Knicks completing the sweep of the Cavaliers. They are not just winning, they are dominating their opponents.
