Summary

A bizarre ballpark craze takes center stage as fans scramble for chicken finger ice cream, sparking a larger conversation about hype, expectations, and the fan experience at Yankees games. From long concession lines to whether anything is actually worth missing game action, the discussion sets the tone for a lively breakdown of early season frustrations and realities. The conversation shifts to the debut of Sunday Night Baseball’s new theme from Zac Brown Band, with mixed reactions comparing it to the iconic Carrie Underwood intro. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber also dig into Mets concerns, questioning which players can truly be trusted, while balancing realism with fan hope.

So let this be a friendly warning to our friends in the Bronx. Tonight, and I won't be there tonight. I don't know if Sean, are you going in tonight's game? No. Okay. Next two weeks, very busy. For those that are attending the game tonight, those chicken finger ice creams better be available. They've had a very tough time to begin the season. Yep. I know that Hoff's been searching for it every single day. I know a lot of Yankee fans have been searching for it.

0:23.7

I tried to buy it on opening day. Get it done. You've had a week and a half now, two weeks, to make sure the chicken finger ice creams are ready to go. So let them be ready to go so that that's sold out by the second inning. They better be worth it. There's no way they are. How can they be, right? Nothing is worth waiting in line that long. Nothing. I agree. Nothing is worth waiting in line. Nothing. The line that we saw that apparently was what kept us from our seats. Yeah. There's nothing worth that. Well, they picked the wrong time to go on the line.

0:55.6

I hate to say, because I don't like missing parts of the game,

0:58.0

but you got to go like fourth inning. Because the people who are waiting on the line at the beginning of the game are in their seats. Yeah, but it's going to be gone. Well, that's my point. The other issue. It can't be gone. The Yankees need to make enough of these

1:08.9

where it's not gone by the fourth inning.

1:11.0

It can't happen.

1:11.8

It's not Disney World where they're going to make enough of these where it's not gone by the fourth inning.

1:11.0

It can't happen. It's not Disney World where they're going to run out of spring rolls that have pizza in them. This is a baseball game. You've promoted it. It should be available at any given night for as many fans that walk into that ballpark. And I know that many listeners will be doing that test tonight. So let us know. Let any of us know here at this radio station. And I know Tommy will be on after the game telling you that the Mets are fine, even though if they're losing 9 to 1 in the fifth inning.

1:32.0

and let them know if you were able to get those ice cream chicken fingers.

1:35.3

Now, real quick, before we get to your calls, Sunday Night Baseball has debuted.

1:38.8

We haven't seen our teams yet on it, but they debuted the Sunday Night Baseball song,

1:43.4

which I was actually pretty excited about because I love the carry underwood song, even if it's a false pretense of we waited all day for Sunday night. I'm going to stop you. As Mike pointed out, no one waits all day for Sunday night. Which, as Mike pointed out, was wrong. What? The fans of either team playing on Sunday night always wait all day for Sunday night. Fair enough, but I think they meant everybody. Well, not. I think it's one of Mike's best points he's ever made. See, and I've always thought it's a terrible take, by the way. Nobody waits all day for Sunday night, okay? Who's doing that? Like, he's so right about that. But the players do wait. Oh, well, the players wait. Yeah. Because it's one of the most frustrating things about playing on a Sunday. I'm sure. Sitting around waiting. You're sitting around all damn day. Okay. I think it's a great song, which is my point. I think Carrie Underwood's brilliant. So last night day debuted the Zach Brown band's Sunday Night Baseball song. Let's take a listen together and see if we like it.

2:17.8

All right.

2:37.2

A little piano beginning.

2:38.6

Oh.

2:40.3

Welcome back, my friends to the show that never ends.

2:43.0

We're so glad you could attend.

2:46.6

Come inside, come inside.

2:48.6

Been waiting all day for the stars you come and play.

2:50.9

Waiting all day again.

2:54.0

Sunday night, the show's about to start.

2:58.9

I love this.
