Summary

Evan and Tiki open the hour by reacting to Juan Soto’s candid comments about how much fun he’s having with the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, and why Mets fans should not be offended by it. They break down the difference between winning, vibes, and what Soto’s comments really say about last season in Queens, while also diving into the electric atmosphere of the WBC and what makes international baseball so different. Then, newly crowned Hall of Famer Chris Carino joins the show after being named the recipient of the Curt Gowdy Electronic Media Award. Carino reflects on the surreal honor, shares the story of how he found out, revisits some of his most iconic Nets calls, and talks about the passion that has defined his career behind the mic. The hour wraps with more Jets quarterback debate as rumors continue to swirl around Tua Tagovailoa, Geno Smith, Kyler Murray, and the team’s long-term plan. Evan and Tiki take calls on whether the Jets are building smartly, spinning their wheels, or setting up for a much bigger move down the line.

0:00.0	Yes, they care about winning, but it was more like we're having a good-ass time.
0:03.2	They're having a great time.
0:04.5	And I give you this analogy, the World Baseball Classic is short.
0:07.1	It's a couple of weeks. A baseball season is a grind. It's a long season. Juan Soto is describing the difference between a one-night stand and a long-term marriage. Right. Now, that one-night stand is crazy, and he's having a lot of fun. So no one should be offended that he's having so much more fun with the DR.
0:22.7	But the other part of more fun with the DR.
0:22.6	But the other part of that clip is the thing that Yankee fans are clinging to is that he cited

0:30.6	Juan Soto cited the two seasons in which he got to a World Series.
0:34.4	That's right.
0:35.3	2019 with Washington and 2024 with the Yankees. And in my fellow Met fans, yeah, the man had more fun in 24 than 25. You want to know why? Because they won! Right. You didn't make the playoffs last year. We choked at the end of the season. So I'm glad. So who's upset about this? I mean, Yankee fans can use it as a troll.
0:54.9	That's it.
0:55.8	But that's it.
0:57.3	I mean, he's your guy for the next 15 years or whatever the number is.
1:01.6	But can't worry about when he's had success.
1:04.6	No, because if the Mets have that success, I use the word if, hopefully they will.
1:08.9	Yes.
1:09.4	He'll say win.
1:10.2	Win.
1:10.6	Win.
