Podcasts about BT

In this episode of Truth and Shadow, host BT delves into the depths of Norse mythology, exploring the concept of Naglfar, the ship of the dead, and the spiritual implications of necromancy. He discusses the fear of the dead returning, the role of seeresses, and the consequences of disturbing burial practices. The conversation draws parallels between Norse beliefs and biblical themes, ultimately leading to a reflection on the choices between fear and redemption in the face of spiritual darkness.

BT and Sal dive into the latest Knicks trade buzz, discussing reports that the team is deep in negotiations with the Pelicans to acquire local product and defensive "pit bull," Jose Alvarado. The hosts debate the likely scenario that role players must be on the move to make the deal happen, especially with the trade window opening soon. Sal gives high praise to the fiery Alvarado, calling him a perfect culture fit. The segment is peppered with listener calls, including an emotional sign-off from "Crazy Girl" Carey and a classic Daniel Jones/Giants debate with caller Brett. The show concludes with a reflection on the hosts' final segment of Baseball Cards and their partnership.

BT and Sal dive into the NFL slate, with Sal boldly declaring the Chiefs are "done" and predicting a massive blow-out loss for the Colts. Sal reveals his excitement to see "Brady Cook cook" for the Jets, given a full week of practice. The conversation quickly shifts to the Mets, where the hosts and callers debate the team's ongoing roster demolition. The possibility of trading Francisco Lindor is discussed, with Sal questioning if friction in the clubhouse is making a split "irreparable." The hosts conclude that while Yankee fans are "envious" of the Mets' radical core change, New York success historically hinges on the farm system being allowed to develop and "pop." Finally, the segment ends with BT—the two-time baseball card World Series champion—refusing Sal's attempt at a final, high-stakes redemption match!

BT & Sal kick off a fiery segment by diving into the off-air dynamics of the show's communication, aiming to settle the score on "Who's the worst texter?" The segment is framed by the host's long-running, intensely competitive "Baseball Card World Series" (and BT's broken, six-button iPad still suffering from the drama of the first loss!). The hosts trade barbs and potentially reveal which member of the show is the most unreliable, non-responsive, or frustrating communicator when the microphones are off.

On their final show, BT & Sal dive into the hot rumor surrounding the Mets and Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, who is available with only one year of control left. Sal argues the Mets and Yankees must knock down the door for Skubal, but BT fires back, arguing the Mets should absolutely NOT include top pitching prospect Nolan McClain—calling a potential trade "idiotic" given Skubal's short-term control and impending $400M contract. They debate the Tigers' leverage and the risks of waiting to sign Skubal in free agency versus trading top farm pieces now. The hosts also discuss whether Mets owner Steve Cohen will react to the current "state of desperation" among the fanbase and overrule David Stearns' measured plan. The show wraps up with emotional fan calls and appreciation for the "juice" the New York Knicks brought to their time slot.

It's the "Series Finale" of the beloved segment "Pull Your Card," where BT and Sal open up packs of 1988 Score baseball cards and challenge each other to guess the player's team. The stakes are high, and the competition is fierce, as the hosts try to remember the teams of jobbers like Fred Manrique and stars like Wally Backman (Mets). Sal gets off to a slow start and is devastated by misses on Jeff Reardon and Rick Dempsey (who turns out to be a Dodger in '88, not an Indian). But in a twist of luck, BT gets a run of repeat cards (Fred Manrique, Ozzie Virgil), sealing a spectacular comeback victory. The segment ends with BT crowned the "Back-to-Back-to-Back Champ," leaving Sal licking his wounds and questioning if Hof orchestrated a sabotage!

In their emotional final hour, BT and Sal reflect on their two-and-a-half-year run and address the abrupt end of the show, clarifying that they were not fired but their time slot was eliminated. They hype their massive upcoming live farewell event—a combination "celebration and going away party" featuring Aaron Boone—and invite listeners to connect in person. Callers flood the lines, sharing bittersweet thanks, settling old grudges (like Kevin's Soto argument), and reminiscing about past bar events and kind personal interactions. The guys engage in one last fiery sports debate, dissecting a caller's Mets master plan involving Kwan and Cody Bellinger to build a left-heavy, run-prevention lineup. The hosts conclude with heartfelt goodbyes, stressing that while the show is ending, the "what you hear is what you get" transparency will continue as they embrace a future filled with new, bright possibilities.

In an emotional segment featuring a call from a loyal listener and former colleague Pat Boyle, BT and Sal address the inevitable question: Will listeners really miss and follow the show after their final broadcast? Sal expresses skepticism, believing "nobody's going to care in two weeks," but Tierney pushes back, passionately arguing that their "genuine" and "authentic" passion—which he likens to a "Clubber Lang" intensity versus Sal's "Rocky" scrappiness—will guarantee a following. Sal reflects on his journey and the emotional full circle of achieving his dream at WFAN, stating he has now "maxed out" and it's time to pursue a "new dream." The hosts also acknowledge a listener who will not miss the endless Pete Alonso speculation, signaling a final farewell to their most controversial topic.

BT and Sal deliver a raw and intensely emotional final segment, reflecting on their journey together. The discussion centers on a shared, fiery motivation stemming from their fathers—the principle that "life is going to keep hitting you," and the only response is to keep fighting forward. Sal talks about playing a motivational clip for his late father, while BT recounts the life-changing moment his dad showed him support after his first firing. They discuss their turbulent start, specifically the unplanned Carl Banks firestorm, and assert that they have "no regrets" because they "gave everything they had" to the show, proud it was not a "failed experiment." With grateful thanks to the listeners and the station for the opportunity to have a proper farewell, the "Dynamic Duo" promises their partnership is far from over, signing off with a heartfelt affirmation of their bond.

Who's Really Writing the Stories That Shape Our World?This week, we dive into the high-stakes power play unfolding in Hollywood as Netflix and Paramount battle to take over Warner Bros. What looks like a blockbuster business deal is, in fact, a global struggle over who gets to shape the stories that define how we think, feel, and remember.Farzana explores the soft power implications of the deal, asking what happens when control of cultural narratives shifts to private or even foreign-backed hands. Doug examines the potential impact on creators, especially if Netflix, known for tight content licensing, wins control of vast historical archives. David brings in insider chatter from Hollywood, where some fear the deal could spell the end of cinema as we know it.Also in this episode, we unpack why the UK is launching a legal PR offensive to keep English law as the gold standard for global deals and how Singapore is emerging as a serious contender.Plus, is the US hurting its tourism brand with new visa requirements demanding access to social media history?

On this edition of the Mid-West Farm Report Ride Along, we head to northern Illinois to visit the Syngenta Seeds Research & Development Innovation Center. The question? How big of a problem is corn rootworm(CRW) for farmers today? What new technology's being developed to address that problem? Pam Jahnke is joined by Syngenta Corn Product Manager, Matt Dolch. Dolch began his career with Syngenta as an intern, and today is proud to be discussing the latest technology coming to corn fields across the Midwest by 2027. Dolch says that CRW is one of the most devastating pests in U.S. corn production. Farmers spend nearly $1 billion per year in control measures and lost yield. That's why Syngenta decided to focus on new innovations to battle the pest.Syngenta is accelerating trait innovation that delivers new differentiation, not incrementalupdates. Their innovation focuses on multi-protein stacks that bring more diversity to CRW control.Syngenta does this by leveraging innovation pipelines and trait development tools to shorten the time from R&D to the farm.Durastak is the flagship example, built to address both current resistance challenges andfuture durability needs. Durastak is the industry’s first three Bt-protein trait stack for corn rootworm control.It provides a new level of durability and efficacy by offering additional protein diversity compared to existing products. Dolch says that Durastak should be available from dealers by the fall of 2026, for planting in the 2027 growing season!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jerry is here with his first update, starting with the news that left Ron Darling "flabbergasted," followed by the immediate reaction from BT and Sal. In NFL news, we'll hear from Philip Rivers as he met the media to discuss coming out of retirement, while Jaxson Dart talk about having Cam Skattebo back in the building. Then the shocking story out of Michigan where head coach Sherrone Moore was fired for an inappropriate relationship with a staff member and later arrested for assault.

In this Shadow Short from Truth and Shadow Podcast, host BT explores the concept of inner demons, particularly focusing on how they manifest in our lives through anxiety, depression, and unprocessed trauma. Through the story of Micah, a man who struggles with his own inner darkness, the conversation delves into the nature of these demons, how they are fed by silence and avoidance, and the importance of confronting them with truth and honesty. The episode emphasizes that healing is possible and encourages listeners to seek connection and support in their journey.

BT and Sal discuss the volatile fallout of the Mets letting both Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz walk, labeling it a "wreckage." Sal wants David Stearns to explain publicly why the Mets, with all their resources, wouldn't meet Alonso's market price, especially after a great offensive year. Tierney argues that keeping players who delivered "subpar results" makes no sense, stating that fans must choose between loving the players or demanding a winner. The conversation pivots to skepticism, addressing the caller theory that Steve Cohen's focus is now purely on the casino deal at Metropolitan Park. They also debate the future of the Mets' offense: is trading for Kyle Tucker the necessary "sexy, splashy move," or will Stearns prioritize young talent and make the team less competitive in the short term? Tierney is insistent that letting Alonso go only makes Stearns' job of building a playoff contender "more difficult."

BT and Sal dive into the viral video of Giants Offensive Coordinator Mike Kafka addressing the team, with Sal strongly arguing that Kafka is "a little timid" and "lacking confidence"—fatal flaws for a potential head coach. Sal felt his attempt at using colorful language was "forced," highlighting a lack of authenticity and passion that would make him a non-starter for the top job. The discussion serves as an insight into the non-public factors—like personality and motivation skills—that separate true leaders. Tierney agrees Kafka lacks a future in public speaking and leadership, ultimately confirming that Kafka will not be the next Giants Head Coach.

BT & Sal dive into a fierce style debate over what to wear to Alex Rodriguez's holiday party. BT defends his highly questioned, fashion-forward choice: a black corduroy suit accented with a green tie and possibly red shoes (the "cockroach killers"). Sal, the self-proclaimed style expert and collector of tie bars and cufflinks, throws shade, comparing the corduroy to something from Three's Company and admitting he's leaning towards his signature turtleneck look. They debate the need for a tie, the pressure to wear dress shoes, and the complications of getting the suit hemmed amid BT's frantic holiday schedule (which now includes going to church!). The segment highlights the stress of high-profile dressing and the hilarious clash of their personal styles.

BT and Sal dive into the Tarik Skubal trade rumors, explaining exactly why the blockbuster deal sending the Tigers' ace to the Dodgers is stalled. The problem isn't the package, but the massive hurdles of Detroit ownership approval and the Dodgers' demand for a long-term extension worth hundreds of millions. Then, the mood shifts as the hosts dissect the dark side of television, detailing Tony Soprano's infamous list of personal on-screen kills, from Febby Petrulio to Christopher Moltisanti, and debating the motivations behind the mob boss's most brutal moments. Finally, the segment concludes with the always-unpredictable Three Random Questions (TRQ).

BT and Sal start by debating the concept of "glacial speed" in the slow MLB offseason, using the Titanic iceberg as a nautical analogy. The conversation is then abruptly overtaken by BREAKING NEWS: Pete Alonso has left the Mets for the Baltimore Orioles on a 5-year, $155 million deal. The hosts react to the seismic shift, with a fiery Hof calling Mets GM David Stearns a "moron" for letting the market setter walk. Sal respects the Mets' decision to draw a line in the sand, arguing the team can be better without Pete's specific production. The hosts then transition to their plans for attending Alex Rodriguez's holiday party, debating cocktail attire (corduroy suit vs. turtleneck) and how much actual face time they'll get with the Yankees legend. The segment concludes with a deep dive into A-Rod's complicated relationship with the Yankees and whether he deserves to be in Monument Park.

BT & Sal dive into the week's Three Random Questions, tackling life's unexpected dilemmas with their usual passionate intensity: Rewatch or New? Given limited free time, do you prioritize going back to rewatch classic, beloved shows (like The Sopranos or Star Wars), or do you dedicate that time to watching new content? The Ticket Test: If you offer someone free tickets, do you let them know how good (or bad) the seats are upfront, or is their genuine interest in spending time with you all the commitment you need? (Hint: The guys agree that asking about the seats is "tacky!") The Fan's Pain: Are you a sports fan who immerses yourself in the misery of a tough loss, listening to hours of post-game coverage for a sense of "therapy" (like Sal), or do you avoid and ignore the pain completely afterward (like BT)?

BT and Sal discuss the trade market for ace pitcher Tarik Skubal and the sheer unacceptability of the Mets missing out on him, arguing that losing the bidding war for Skubal would be more egregious than losing players like Pete Alonso or Edwin Diaz. The hosts acknowledge that any deal for Skubal requires a "leap of faith" and a massive haul from the minor league system, especially since no contract extension is guaranteed. Sal emphasizes the importance of staying in the running for the Tigers' ace, fearing the catastrophic optics of him landing with a powerhouse like the Dodgers. The discussion transitions to Edwin Diaz, where they agree his move to Los Angeles was clearly driven by emotion and a feeling of being slighted by the Mets' free-agent decisions, like signing Devin Williams without his consultation.

BT and Sal react to the seismic breaking news that Pete Alonso has officially left the New York Mets, signing a five-year, $155 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles. Hof's fiery reaction sums up the fan base's outrage, calling the decision by President of Baseball Operations David Stearns "inexcusable." The hosts debate whether this move is a necessary "ripping of the band-aid" for a flawed team or a colossal mistake, especially after the recent departure of Edwin Diaz and the trade of Brandon Nimmo. Tierney points to Stearns's focus on defense and high-OBP players like Marcus Semien as the new direction, arguing the Mets can be a better team even with fewer home runs. The key question now becomes: Did Alonso's anger over his treatment by the organization lead him to leave without giving the Mets a final chance to match the offer?

BT & Sal turn up the heat on the Mets' sluggish offseason, ripping the team's obsession with pursuing former Yankees like Michael King and calling King as a "top rotation target" "nowhere near enough." The discussion barrels into the contentious Pete Alonso negotiations. Sal criticizes Pete for personally attending the Winter Meetings to shop himself to teams like the Red Sox and Orioles, seeing it as "beneath him" and a sign the Mets' leverage play is frustrating their star. They argue the Mets' alleged three-year offer is absurd, especially if Alonso is on pace to hit 500 career home runs, potentially making him a Hall of Famer—a point BT strongly debates. The segment also touches on the impact of Kyle Schwarber's market and ends with a hilarious digression into obscure baseball slang like "dry humping" (warming up a pitcher who never enters the game) and players referring to runs as "points."

BT & Sal dive into shocking breaking news on the MLB hot stove, reacting in real-time to two major deals: Edwin Diaz signing with the Dodgers and Kyle Schwarber returning to the Phillies for 5 years, $150 million. Sal argues that the Mets made the right long-term move by refusing to invest over $100 million in a closer, calling the move an "unreliable" luxury the team can't afford given their other holes. BT agrees, but they both acknowledge the sting for Mets fans. The Schwarber deal immediately pivots the conversation to Pete Alonso's impending contract, with the hosts questioning if $150 million sets a new floor for the Polar Bear—and where the Mets will now find replacement power if Pete walks.

BT & Sal ignite the hot stove discussion, questioning the Mets' fixation on former Yankees, specifically reporting Michael King as their "top rotation target." Sal fears GM David Stearns is setting a dangerous precedent by avoiding long-term deals for top pitchers like Tatsuya Imai. They tackle the Pete Alonso saga, wondering if his personal attendance at the Winter Meetings is a sign of a weak market, and if the Red Sox's pursuit of Alex Bregman (for defense) further complicates Pete's quest for a long-term deal. The conversation heats up around Kyle Schwarber, with BT arguing for him as a priority DH target to add consistent power, and they debate if the Mets' focus on Peralta and McGill trades signals an acceptance of losing Edwin Diaz.

BT & Sal dive into the "Call of the Day," focusing on the furious reaction from Mets fans following the loss of Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers. While fans accuse "Uncle Stevie" Cohen of "nickel-and-diming" and prioritizing his casino over fan favorites, Sal vehemently defends the Mets, arguing that Diaz simply preferred Los Angeles and had no interest in continuous dialogue. The co-hosts then spar over the impact of Juan Soto's massive contract, debating if it has limited the Mets' ability to build around the rest of the team and whether they'd rather have Soto over a core of Alonso, Tucker, and Diaz. The conversation is interrupted by a confrontational call from "Bob the Dodger Fan," leading Sal to take a verbal "blowtorch" to the idea of the Mets being the Dodgers' rival and the necessity of an elite closer to win a World Series. The segment concludes with a wild report of a rumored 3-year, $120 million offer for Kyle Schwarber, leaving BT and Sal questioning the team's priorities for Pete Alonso.

BT & Sal bring in the legendary Bruce Prichard (aka Brother Love) to discuss the WWE landscape, including the highly anticipated final match of John Cena this Saturday. Prichard shares a touching, sad moment from Cena's last bout and definitively ranks him as a Top 5 wrestler, calling him "the prototype" for success. The conversation gets fiery as they discuss the evolution of the business: what makes a wrestler "lose it" physically, the lack of script writers in the golden age, and the constant challenge of producing creative content in the age of remakes. Prichard also names Brock Lesnar (and others) as a legitimate tough guy in the current locker room, opens up about the reality TV series 'Unreal,' and recounts a surprise punch from Roddy Piper that he "never saw coming." The segment wraps with Sal demanding Brother Love determine who the true "heel" is between him and BT.

In this powerful conversation, BT and Mike Pacer dive deep into the soul of prayer and the essential role it plays in the lives of men today.Drawing from Mike's remarkable journey—from a successful career in law to a life devoted to ministry—they explore how faith is tested by doubt, reshaped by challenge, and ultimately reclaimed through the power of prayer.Together, they discuss the vital balance between personal devotion and communal worship, the spiritual battle every man faces, and the societal forces that threaten to pull hearts away from God.They shine a light on the urgent need for men to rise up as spiritual leaders—fathers, brothers, and sons—grounded in prayer and committed to nurturing faith within their families.Through stories, insights, and practical steps, BT and Mike offer a roadmap for strengthening your prayer life, standing firm against spiritual warfare, and finding comfort and courage in even the darkest moments.This isn't just a conversation about prayer. It's a call to arms for men to reclaim their God-given role—with strength, humility, and an unwavering spirit.Links:Ignatius Press: Mike's author pageReel 

The "Call of the Day" segment begins with Sal wishing BT a "happy anniversary," marking one year since the Mets signed Juan Soto to a massive $765 million deal. BT wastes no time, rubbing in the Mets' 83-win failure and the fact the Yankees made the playoffs anyway, proving you can't win in the offseason. The conversation shifts to the Winter Meetings, discussing Pete Alonso meeting with the Red Sox and Orioles, fueling speculation that the Mets' "hard line" of a three-year deal could push the Polar Bear out. The hosts then pivot to a fiery debate on PEDs and the Hall of Fame, agreeing with Buster Olney that current Hall of Famers are cowardly for not confessing their own use, which would finally clear the way for Bonds, Clemens, and A-Rod. Finally, a controversial caller challenges the legacy of Don Mattingly, prompting BT to passionately defend "Donnie Baseball" as the most beloved New York athlete of his lifetime, arguing his career was cut short by injury, not performance.

BT and Sal dive headfirst into the heated topic of going bald. BT launches a blistering attack on men who are completely bald on top but insist on keeping the hair grown out on the sides, calling it one of the "worst looks any man can have." Sal, who fully shaves his head, admits he is currently a "neurotic" fanatic testing three different electric shavers in his quest to find a tool that can get as close as a wet shave—a method BT champions. BT details his strict routine of being a "shower shaver" at least three to four times a week to keep his "dome" perfectly tight. The conversation concludes with a hilarious, yet brief, detour into the viral photo of "Hoff's Package," which Tierney claims he barely even noticed.

BT & Sal dissect the Jets' brutal loss to the Dolphins, arguing that the pathetic gameplay is paradoxically "great for the franchise," as the defeat—coupled with the Daniel Jones injury—dramatically improves the value of their Colts draft pick, potentially securing a franchise QB like Mendoza. The conversation pivots to the Yankees, where they rail against the media's obsession with the Sonny Gray drama, demanding that Brian Cashman focus on Kwan and Bellinger instead of irrelevant history. They debate whether re-signing Bellinger is enough to make the Yankees a World Series contender and analyze the team's messy first base and left-field situation, lamenting the right-handed hitting drought if Stanton stays. The hosts then launch into a hilarious and detailed critique of "The Bald Look," with BT slamming the ridiculousness of men who maintain side "wings" and Sal detailing his neurotic shaving routine. Finally, they address the viral picture of their producer, Hoff, and his sweatpants bulge, expressing disbelief over the sudden public fascination with his "package."

BT unleashes an impassioned rant over the Hall of Fame Veterans Committee disrespecting Don Mattingly, who received a shocking six votes despite his peak dominance and "contribution to the game." Tierney is furious that his all-time favorite player, a high-character star, is continually overlooked while other players with flawed résumés get in. Sal shifts gears to his chaotic weekend: a mad dash to Santaland at Macy's and the Rockefeller Tree where he battled crowds, strollers, and the clock for his family's annual picture. The hosts wrap up with the "Call of the Day," where Sal sarcastically wishes BT a "happy anniversary" of the Mets' massive Juan Soto signing—a reminder that you "can't win in the off-season." They also debate Buster Olney's call for Hall of Famers to admit to PED use to clear the way for Bonds and Clemens.

BT and Sal dive headfirst into the Mets' offseason dilemma, sparked by a report that David Stearns is "reluctant" to give long-term deals to free-agent starting pitchers like Framber Valdez. Sal argues this philosophy is smart money, insisting the Mets should avoid overpaying for a non-ace like Valdez and instead aggressively target trade-and-extend options like Tarik Skubal. BT agrees Valdez isn't a true ace, but asks if the Mets can afford to be choosy after last year's rotation collapse. The debate heats up on the question of value: is a three-year deal for Michael King smarter than seven years for Valdez? The discussion expands to the future of the core, with Sal advocating for the emotional release of Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz if they demand reckless contracts, believing the Mets haven't won with them anyway. The hosts analyze Stearns' strategy and ask whether his dedication to player development will clash with the need to win now.

BT and Sal are furious that the main takeaway from the Yankees' Winter Meetings is Brian Cashman's old Sonny Gray drama, where Cashman claimed Gray lied about wanting to play in New York. The hosts argue this is a self-made distraction to divert attention from the real issues: the team's inaction on critical offseason needs. They demand to know if the Yankees are pursuing Kyle Tucker or Cody Bellinger and are frustrated by the vague plan for left field and the ongoing leadoff hitter void. The hosts warn that simply relying on a strong rotation (which will be vulnerable early due to injuries) and the return of Judge is not enough to win a World Series, criticizing the focus on a former player instead of fixing the lineup.

Boomer & Gio react to the report that Giannis Antetokounmpo would only approve a trade to the Knicks shortly before he sustained an injury that night. Plus, Evan Roberts has a source that says the Knicks do not want to pursue Giannis; BT and Sal on how Giannis' injury impacts a potential trade, and discuss which Knicks are untouchable in a potential deal and why Karl-Anthony Towns is the roadblock in the way.

This week's Mets highlights are full of Devin Williams reactions, from Sal calling it a good move regardless of what happens with Edwin Diaz to Chris McMonigle giving it an incomplete grade, depending on what moves are next. Plus, BT and Sal react to reports of a chilly relationship between Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor, and ponder what the market is for Pete Alonso.
