On his final day at WFAN, Brandon Tierney takes listeners back to September 12, 2023—the morning after Aaron Rodgers' season-ending Achilles injury just four plays into his Jets debut. Reliving the infamous "Unkillable" speech, BT describes the "out of body" experience of trying to find hope in "football hell" while standing up for Zach Wilson. He reflects on the vulnerability of being a raw, authentic host and explains why that "unkillable" mindset isn't just about sports—it's about surviving life's toughest hits. This is BT at his most personal, closing his chapter at The Fan with the same fire that ignited a viral movement.

In this emotional and raw segment from his final full-time show on WFAN, Brandon Tierney reflects on a career defined by volatility, grit, and an obsession with "the Batphone." BT takes listeners back to 1999 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he made just $16,000 a year and didn't even know how to run a soundboard. He recalls a shoestring budget operation where he sat in a separate room from his co-host, watching a single phone line light up like the Bat-signal—his cue to rip off his headset and play producer just to talk to the fans. The conversation turns from the past to the present as BT connects with "stand-up" callers like Al from Howard Beach, reminding the audience why sports radio is more than just scores—it's about the "CYO hustle" and the shared upbringing of New York sports fans. Tierney reflects on the "brutal business" of radio with zero regrets, promising one last look at his famous "Unkillable" speech before handing the mic over to New York legends Alex Rodriguez and Rick Pitino.

In a morning segment dripping with New York intensity, Brandon Tierney breaks down a shockwave of tweets from Mets owner Steve Cohen. Reacting to a New York Post article suggesting a payroll dip for 2026, Cohen fired off an aggressive defense, labeling his critics "the usual idiots" and insisting he "can't imagine" the budget being lower than last year. BT analyzes the owner's shift in tone—from the "scepter-wielding" savior to a billionaire arguing about waiver claims and minor league movement. While Tierney maintains his support for Cohen, he issues a stern warning: after losing Pete Alonso to the Orioles and Edwin Díaz to the Dodgers, a Twitter war with fans isn't the victory Mets fans are looking for. Steve is feeling the heat, and if he doesn't land a big fish before Fan Fest, the reception at Citi Field won't be pretty.

In a deeply emotional and high-energy final hour, Brandon Tierney takes his last lap on WFAN, proving exactly why he is "unkillable." From reminiscing about playing for the Bronx Angels and driving his dad's Nissan Maxima to the grueling days on Ron Hunt's farm in Missouri, BT bridges the gap between his childhood dreams and his professional reality. The hour reaches a fever pitch when his father, "Pops," calls in to recount the cross-country odyssey—from Allentown to Las Vegas to Detroit—that finally brought Brandon back to the station he grew up idolizing. BT addresses the listeners with raw honesty, discussing the Craig Carton situation with grace, celebrating his love for St. John's and the Knicks, and delivering a tearful, powerful message to the fans: "Anything you received from me, I received more from you." It's a fiery, authentic farewell to a New York staple who earned every second of his time in the pinstripes of sports radio

Boomer says this Jets offense is one of the worst he's ever seen, rivaling even his most brutal seasons. Aaron Glenn knows the pain—he lived it with the 0-11 Lions—but the Jets still have three winnable games: Panthers at home, at Cincinnati, and hosting the Browns. Lose them and Gio thinks Glenn could be gone. Fields could face boos at home if he stumbles, and Glenn will have to make a move in front of the fans. Jerry kicked off with Kurt Warner baffled by the Jets' playcalling, while Brandon Tierney called Fields “straight up ass” on his podcast.
