Summary

Time for Cinco de Lunch-o the show turns into a full-blown vent session for New York football fans. Evan and Shaun rank the five figureheads fans should be most furious with, starting with the Giants’ defensive mess and ending with the most infuriating answer of all: how the Giants can justify bringing Joe Schoen back. Along the way, they debate whether Aaron Glenn’s “tough guy” approach should matter, and why Jets ownership keeps making the job feel impossible. Then the show pivots into baseball with a hilarious MLB free agency bingo update where everybody whiffs on where Murakami would land. That leads into Evan’s frustration with the Mets and Yankees seemingly passing on a perfect fit from Japan, and why the price tag makes it even more annoying. The segment closes with a surprisingly honest conversation about being a sports fan: you scream, you vent, and then you’re forced to live with whatever your team does. Plus, a quick dive into early 2026 win totals and why Mets fans might have to accept an “86 wins is fine” mindset on January 6. Finally, the phones bring the chaos, including coaching takes, a Nets trade detour, and an all-time moment with a “17-year-old” caller who is definitely, absolutely, totally not cutting school.
