Summary

Evan is headed to Madison Square Garden for Knicks Cavaliers, but his game night plan quickly turns into classic New York sports chaos. From taking Big Mac after Craig backed out, to defending the Chase Bridge seats, to admitting he may bring his Mets scorebook into the building, Evan and Tiki Barber set the stage for a very unusual Eastern Conference Finals experience. The conversation also digs into Mets fans ripping Joe Davis for his “Oh no, the Mets” call, Evan’s belief that Davis sounds too much like a Dodgers fan, and the latest Yankees concerns after a rough series. The guys debate whether this Yankees team should ever be compared to the 1998 club, what the Mets do when key players eventually return, and why both New York baseball teams still have major questions to answer.

I was going to the game Tuesday. I'd be going to the Eastern Conference Finals game one, and I was taking Big Mac, and I texted Big Mac this morning saying, are we good to go? I haven't heard back from him. So if I don't hear back from him, I may have to cut him out. I mean, I... Why would he not respond to you? I think his excuse is going to be, I texted him at 6 a.m.

0:19.2

Because the way I view text messaging is it's like a voicemail.

0:22.5

You can do it any time.

0:23.6

Right.

0:23.8

Because I assume it's not waking somebody up. And so Big Mac is going to say, why are you texting me at 6 a.m? And then he probably then missed it because then his day starts, he's taking his kids to school. And like the text message gets lost in the ether. The good news is, I see Big Mac every day. So when he walks in about an hour, I'll be like, are we good to go for tomorrow?

0:41.2

It was Christmas. and like the text message gets lost in the ether. The good news is I see Big Mac every day.

0:38.5

So when he walks in about an hour, I'll be like, are we good to go for tomorrow? It was Chris McMonico, his fat ass. But the reason I'm taking him is because Craig screwed him. Craig promised that he was going to take him courtside to a playoff game. And I heard it. I heard it live. It was an absolute promise. and then he changed his mind because his son wanted to go.

0:55.4

And I think we all understand taking your son over a co-worker.

0:57.9

You would do that. I heard it. I heard it live. It was an absolute promise. And then he changed his mind because his son wanted to go.

0:55.4

And I think we all understand taking your son over a co-worker. You would do the same thing. Well, here's the difference. Well, you wouldn't put yourself in position to have to. Exactly. I wouldn't make the promise. Just like the guy who called and wanted to go to the Mets game with you. Yeah. He said let's make a bet.

1:10.7

Yeah.

1:11.1

He said, let's make a bet around him at playoff game.

1:12.7

My first response was, I can't promise you that. to go to the Mets game with you. Yeah. He said, let's make a bet. Yeah.

1:11.0

He said, let's make a bet around a Mets playoff game.

1:12.6

My first response was, I can't promise you that.

1:15.2

I got two sons and a dad.

1:17.0

Right.

1:17.1

Like, you're not, you're not cutting that line, bro.

1:20.9

So that's the difference.

1:22.4

Craig didn't think that.

1:23.5

He just made a promise that he couldn't back up.

1:26.2

Right. that, he just made a promise that he couldn't back up. And so I feel out of loyalty to Big Mac, I will take him to a game, even if it is in courtside, even if it is literally the exact opposite of coaching. He'll have more fun. Oh, he definitely will. He'll have more fun. Dude, we sit on the Chase Bridge, and I'll be there tomorrow night. The Chase Bridge is where it's at. Like, I think it is one of the most underrated seats to go to a sporting event.
