Summary

A heated debate breaks out over whether Yankees fans should boo Jack Hughes at the home opener, despite his recent Olympic heroics. What starts as a simple question quickly turns into a deeper conversation about fandom, loyalty, and where respect fits into rivalry. Evan and Tiki unpack how fan behavior has evolved, from past generations showing patience to today’s more vocal, high-expectation crowds. The discussion expands into ticket prices, athlete accountability, and the emotional investment of modern fans, while also touching on Mets concerns, surprising player storylines, and a few classic on-air moments that bring chaos and humor to the show.

There are many times where we get bothered with the announcer jinks. We get upset. Like, so, for example,

0:05.5

0:10.2

and then they give up a home run, and it's obviously against our team, we get very, very annoyed.

Yeah, announcer jinxes are a thing. And so as a public service, I want to prove to you that announcers jinks is are fake. Because if you watch the Mets game closely yesterday, do you remember how they scored their one run? Who, the Mets? Yeah. Juan Soto hit a home run. Juan Soto hit a home run. Looked like a pop fly. It did. I didn't think it was getting out. It hit the top of the bat. I was like, what the hell is that?

Now, the only thing that wasn't prophetic is he said the Mets were going to need to win the game one-nothing.

1:36.1

Obviously, the following inning, that's when Nolan Gorman got the game tying hit, so it didn't work out that way.
