Summary

As Opening Day energy builds across New York, the focus shifts from the Yankees’ win to the Mets’ highly anticipated season debut. Evan and Tiki capture the excitement of fans heading to Citi Field while also navigating the real-time chaos—traffic issues, parking confusion, and the shared responsibility of fans helping each other get to the ballpark on time. They also revisit key moments from the Yankees game, including the official “Turning Point,” and mix in sharp debate, humor, and live caller reactions. From frustrations with modern sports consumption to the unpredictability of a completely revamped Mets roster, the conversation highlights both the passion and unpredictability that make Opening Day feel like a true event.

I respect that I did a different show, different shows when I did a show with Craig and with Joe. You did a different show with BT. But there is one thing I'd like to take from Joe and Evan that I think you'll be okay with. Yes. Because Sean told me that growing up, he loved this. He thought it was awesome. So I'm sure there are others in the audience, not to date myself, who grew up listening to Joe and Evan, who liked that we did this. And that is when we did the Yankee turning point,

show and I would guess what the Yankee turning point was before we would reveal the winner. And obviously, you know, it's a caller. Someone calls in and they guess it. So I can do it right now. But once we're about to reveal the winner, Joe and I would guess the Yankee turning point. Bro, was it the Corota strikeout, bro? Bro. Can you, was it right? Where's Sweeney?

0:38.8

What was it the Corota strikeout, bro?

1:11.8

Bro. Where's Sweeney? What was she thinking with that? Because that would be the other thing. When we didn't like the turning point, we would attack Sweeney. Whiz, can we get them off? So not today, because I have to be honest, I already know the turning point. I got spoiled a little bit. But starting on Monday, Tiki and I will guess the Yankee turning point along with you. So are you looking forward to that? I am looking forward to that. All right. We know what it is today. Do? Well, first of all, don't say it because the contest is still running, but why would you be so confident? Because I know the turning point and I'm not sure you're going to get it. Really? Hold that thought for five minutes.

1:28.8

When Sean gets a winner, we'll have a discussion. But before we get to your calls, I just received a letter. And I know there's a lot of people who are on the car right now or in the car right now who could not read this letter because they're driving. Right. How can they read? Unless you're out of red light, that's dangerous. This letter is fresh off the presses.

1:30.2

Hot off the presses. And it is from Alex and Steve Cohen. Oh, Lord. Can I read you guys a letter?

1:36.6

This is going to be bad. Dear Evan. Oh, to you specifically. Well, you know how this works. Yes, on a mail merge. Yeah. I give them a lot of money, so they put my name along with every other person that gives that money. To whom it may concern. No, they gave me a dear Evan. Okay. Yeah, dear Evan. Steve, I DM'd you last week about doing a show at City. I haven't heard back from you. By the way, you can see where that

2:00.8

DM took me. Right. I'm sitting next to Tinky. Anyhow, dear Evan, opening day, the best day of the

2:07.4

year is finally here. Welcome back. On behalf of the entire organization, thank you for your commitment

2:13.8

to this team. The energy at City Field this year is going to be incredible, and that

2:18.3

all starts with you. As a season ticket member, you are the foundation of everything we're

2:23.3

building here. We're all in this together with one clear mission, winning in Queens. Thank you for

2:30.7

being with us every step of the way. We can't wait to see you in the stands, hear your cheers, and sharing the excitement of a new season. Let's make 2026 a year to remember. See at the ballpark. Let's go Mets, Steve and Alex Cohen. That kind of fires me up a little bit. I thought it was something going to be bad. You thought it was bad? I thought it was something... I'm sorry to inform you, but parking is going to be a bitch today.

3:11.1

It... it was something going to be bad. You thought it was to be bad? I thought it was something, I'm sorry to inform you, but parking is going to be a bitch today. Uh, it, it, draw, throw your planes at the department of transportation or somebody else, not us. And we can't wait to see you. Figure out a way to get here. I thought it was going to be, remember that season ticket bill? Yeah, it's actually more than we told you, please send us another 10 grand. I thought that's what it was going to be.

3:08.0

So that was a good one.

3:12.1

Yeah. No, it was all good. It was like, we're committed to winning in Queens. Good. I thought they were going to move. I'm glad that they're committed to Queens. And we're happy, and now we've got to go win some games. Now, let's get to your phone calls a lot on the table. Yankee fans not thrilled.

3:23.7

Not about their team.

3:24.7

They were awesome last night.

3:25.7

It was a perfect opening night, but about how they consume the game on Netflix. And MET fans are all pumped up, rightfully so for opening day, which will start in a little bit less than three hours over at Cityfield. 888808-101. I'm going to ask you, would you rather start with a excited Met fan on the way to City or a Yankee fan bitching about Netflix?

3:43.6

No, let's bitch. Let Yankee fan bitching about Netflix?

3:43.6

No, let's hear the bitching about Netflix.

3:45.4

Let's do it.
