BT and Sal explode over a damning report that Giants rookie Abdul Carter missed a crucial walk-through because he was asleep inside the team facility. The hosts savage the lack of accountability, with Sal stating that being benched for only six plays was "not enough punishment." The discussion quickly turns to the larger cultural rot within the Giants, with a follow-up report revealing that missing meetings has been a "trend" that former coach Brian Daboll "let slide." BT and Sal rip Daboll for his inexcusable soft approach and lambast the veteran leadership for their lack of concern, declaring that the Giants' core "needs to be rattled" because the team has become a "joke" and a "circus."

The segment ignites with Sal questioning if his new Amazon obsession—high-sodium sesame sticks—is causing his "restless leg syndrome." This sparks a hilarious comparison of their diets, revealing Sal's monstrous Thursday night meal: an entire massive calzone (with two cheeses!) alongside a seafood salad. BT confesses he needs comfort food—a bag of chips, a pie, or even a chicken parm—to sit through a full game, exposing his own "mental block" on not snacking. Sal defends his own clean streak post-calzone, while the hosts figure out which one of them is the bigger health menace. The banter is a classic BT & Sal showdown between extreme indulgence and nervous snacking.
BT, the self-proclaimed "weather snob," kicks off a fiery discussion on New York's rapidly changing climate, arguing that seasonal patterns are "getting pushed back," with October now feeling like May. He recounts a recent hail storm and questions why Halloween is no longer the freezing spectacle of their childhood. The hosts debate the lesser of two evils: attending a game in a "consistent stream" of 70-degree rain versus a "twenty and wind" deep-freeze, with Tierney admitting MetLife Stadium below 40 degrees is completely unappealing. They conclude the segment by arguing which is worse for a round of golf: rain or wind.
BT & Sal launch a fiery debate over David Stearns' approach to free agency, specifically the looming decisions on Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz. Sal argues for a hardline, decisive approach—a "take it or leave it" offer to stop being held up by prolonged negotiations, as he believes the Mets are operating in a frustrating "gray area" by saying they want the players but waiting for the market. BT counters that the Mets need to respect the free agency process and the optics of a harsh negotiation. The hosts agree that the Mets' willingness to go all-in for Soto or Yamamoto is a clear contrast to their patient, cost-conscious stance with their own stars, which suggests they don't want Alonso back "like that." The discussion concludes with a shared frustration over agent Scott Boras's tactics and the potential for these negotiations to drag out until February.
BT and Sal bring in sports betting insider Nick Kostos to break down Week 11's slate and deliver some scorching hot takes. The conversation focuses heavily on the Patriots' confusing trajectory after their win, with Kostos arguing the AFC is wide open for New England, but the Chiefs are the only team capable of beating them at home. The talk turns to the miserable Giants, where Kostos repeatedly blasts the "terrible" roster and Giants fans who defend GM Joe Shane, asserting that Shane is making an "unbelievable mistake" and should be fired. He predicts a Packers squash the Giants on Sunday. Finally, they touch on the QB market for the Jets, debating whether Mac Jones is a viable "Band-Aid" and if Kyler Murray's issues in Arizona are purely stylistic, concluding with a look at the NFC's best, where Kostos still favors the Eagles over teams like the Lions and Seahawks.
With Hoff holding a commanding lead in the Perfect Parlay Picks contest, Sal (90 points) and BT (50 points) declare a "Hail Mary" strategy, throwing out the conservative picks to go all-in on four-team parlays for Week 11. BT, embracing the "go route," backs hot teams like the Chargers (-2.5) and Ravens (-7.5), while also taking the Bears (+2.5). Sal, down by a few touchdowns, unleashes his own four-team bomb, predicting big Bills (-5.5) and 49ers (-2.5) wins, alongside bold underdog picks for the Lions (+2.5) on Sunday Night Football and his Broncos (+3.5) over the Chiefs! The segment concludes with a debate over whether Hoff, the current leader, is being "sloppy" by not taking a more conservative approach.

Is the BBC losing its grip on journalistic credibility? Or is it being pushed? This episode of The Week Unspun unpacks a chaotic week in media and politics with sharp insight from PR veterans Farzana Baduel, David Gallagher, Doug Downs, and special guest Adrian Monck. The BBC's controversial editing of a Donald Trump speech for Panorama sparks a fierce debate on ethics, institutional accountability, and media governance. From internal BBC politics to the broader implications for press freedom, the team dissects why this incident led to resignations at the highest levels. The conversation then pivots to the political circus of the U.S. government shutdown and the erosion of trust in public institutions, before exploring the branding brilliance behind Dubai's appeal to wealthy expatriates fleeing taxation and uncertainty in the UK.

BT and Sal get a hilariously fiery interview with comedy legend Marlon Wayans, who unleashes a scorching take on "cancel culture." Wayans argues it's a fear-based illusion fueled by foreign bots and "scared executives," not what real audiences want, and declares his intent to bring back the "equal opportunity offender" laughter of In Living Color with the upcoming 'Scary Movie 6.' Marlon also opens up about the friendly jealousy among the famous Wayans brothers (and why he was their mother's favorite), reveals his "F these people" pre-show ritual for comedic fearlessness, and debates whether an Archie Bunker-style show could ever survive in today's hypersensitive world.
BT & Sal ignite the offseason discussion, declaring Cody Bellinger the "linchpin" for the Yankees' success and arguing that both New York teams need to abandon "fair market value" for a necessary, "irrational" approach to win. They dive into a shocking report from Joel Sherman suggesting the Mets are "spitballing" a trade of Brandon Nimmo—a move that could clear salary and upgrade defense, but signals a major philosophical shift for David Stearns. The focus then pivots to the NFL for their Week 11 Power Up Rankings. Sal shocks by putting the Patriots at No. 5 and leaving the Chiefs out, while BT puts the Patriots at No. 1 due to their consistent winning and coaching, dropping the Chiefs to No. 4. The guys debate whether the Broncos and Rams have done enough to earn top spots, and predict a crushing loss for the Jets against the Patriots tonight.
BT & Sal wrestle with the most challenging power rankings of the season, revealing their "Top 5" teams heading into NFL Week 11. Sal drops the Bills entirely after their embarrassing loss and shockingly places the Patriots at Number 1, praising the team's depth, coaching, and the play of Drake Maye. BT, meanwhile, sticks with the Broncos at his Number 2 spot despite their flaws and slides the Chiefs down to a questionable Number 4 due to their 5-4 record. The hosts also debate the quiet dominance of the Rams (BT's #3, Sal's #1) and discuss how the Colts and Eagles are separating themselves from the rest of the pack. They highlight the importance of key Week 11 head-to-head matchups, including Chiefs vs. Broncos and Lions vs. Eagles, that will shake up the rankings next week.
BT and Sal dive into an explosive report from Joel Sherman suggesting the Mets are "spit-balling" scenarios to trade veteran outfielder Brandon Nimmo. With five years and over $100 million left on his contract, the Mets' motivation is to upgrade a poor defense and gain roster flexibility, even if it means eating some salary. Sal supports moving on from a contract that David Stearns wouldn't have signed, while BT sees it as an "out-of-the-box" move that could define a transformative offseason. The conversation also touches on other potential trade targets, like Ketel Marte, as the guys conclude that no one is untouchable this winter for the new front office.
BT & Sal tackle the grim reality of the Jets' Thursday Night Football matchup against the New England Patriots. Sal expresses a sliver of curiosity about the team's "competitiveness," but the consensus is brutal: the Patriots are one of the NFL's best, and the Jets are one of the worst. They slam the notion of a "momentum" build, pointing out the wins against the Bengals and Browns were due to luck and special teams, not a true team turnaround. BT says it will be a "bloodbath" and a "mismatch," arguing the bar for the Jets is simply to "not embarrass themselves." He challenges head coach Aaron Glenn to "empty the tank," calling for Uber-aggressive play and trick plays to narrow the overwhelming odds. The hosts also briefly transition to a heated discussion on whether the Yankees should trade Jazz Chisholm for the Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte.
BT & Sal kick off the segment with a fiery, yet hilarious, linguistics lesson on the pronunciation of "sword," with BT's preferred "sword**"** (or "sword") sparking a comical debate about intellect and high-quality literature. The main discussion shifts to potential Yankees trade targets. The hosts dismantle a trade proposal for Ketel Marte, questioning the high asking price and his history of taking days off. The focus then turns to the "perfect fit": Steven Kwan. Sal argues that the elite, contact-hitting, Gold Glove left fielder is the ideal leadoff hitter the Yankees desperately need, contrasting him with the "analytics war" being waged by Boone and Cashman. Finally, they weigh the risks of signing free agent pitcher Michael King and debate if small, smart moves can round out the roster.
BT & Sal kick off with a furious post-mortem on the Knicks' loss, with Sal taking aim at coach Mike Brown for leaving Jalen Brunson in late and comparing the heat he'd get to former coach Tom Thibodeau. They pivot to the Yankees, dissecting the long-standing "suck wind" problem of player development that continues to plague the organization. The show takes a turn as Sal hilariously airs his personal grievance with Alex Rodriguez, revealing he's offended the former slugger texts BT and a mutual colleague, but snubs Sal! The Mets discussion heats up with news that the Orioles are entering the Pete Alonso sweepstakes and a caller raising concerns over the logistical nightmare of Citi Field construction once Steve Cohen gets his casino license. The show wraps with a look at the Jets' hopeless matchup against the Patriots and a fiery call of the day.
BT and Sal tear into the Jets' primetime matchup against the Patriots, with BT predicting a "bloodbath" given the team's struggles, while Sal holds out hope for a "competitive" showing to build on the Aaron Glenn era. In baseball, the hosts turn to the Hot Stove, fiercely debating how the Yankees and Mets must "load up" to compete with the Dodgers' high-spending, star-stockpiling strategy, fueled by the Ohtani deferral model. Sal proposes an aggressive trade: Marté over Chisholm for the Yankees. Finally, legendary comedian Marlon Wayans joins the show to talk about his return to Scary Movie 6, crushing cancel culture, and why he believes the world desperately needs "no holds barred" comedy like Archie Bunker to bring people together.
BT & Sal demand aggression from David Stearns, urging the Mets to stop playing a waiting game and "call the bluff" with a massive offer to lock up Pete Alonso. They debate if Stearns' "prudent" style fits the Cohen-era pressure. The guys explode over the rumor that Pirates ace Paul Skenes wants to be a Yankee, arguing New York must give up Clarke Schlittler and "whatever it takes" to acquire the generational arm. On the gridiron, they dissect the Giants' coaching chaos under Mike Kafka and slam Jets coach Aaron Glenn for his "prick" and "petty" media feuds over injury questions. Finally, the show features two star interviews: UFC middleweight Bo Nickal discusses his career and mentality, prompting BT to "hammer the bet," and legendary comedian Jay Leno shares unfiltered takes on the Conan O'Brien drama and his famous prank war with David Letterman. The segment concludes with Three Random Questions (3RQ): Is it odd to have feelings for a plant or non-living thing? What's your favorite soup? Where would you rank Sauce Gardner amongst other sauces?
BT & Sal go off on the Mets' offseason strategy, arguing that the front office is playing a waiting game with Pete Alonso and should "call his bluff" with a massive, immediate offer to lock him up. They dissect David Stearns' "prudent" approach, questioning his ability to build a winner with the immense pressure and payroll of the Cohen era, especially concerning Edwin Diaz's contract demands. The focus shifts to the Giants' coaching chaos: they debate if the mid-season shake-up, placing Mike Kafka in charge, will provide a true evaluation of Joe Schoen's roster, or if any wins will be a "false representation" of a bad roster/front office. Plus, the hosts break down the Paul Skenes trade rumors, debating if the Yankees should liquidate their best prospects (Schlittler, Jones, Rice) for the "rock star" ace. Finally, the guys tackle a wild Three Random Questions: Is it odd to have feelings for a plant or non-living thing? (Tierney loves his Arborvitae!) What's your favorite soup? (Sal's Italian Wedding vs. BT's despised pea soup!) Where would you rank Sauce Gardner amongst other sauces? (Hint: he's dropped to the "discount rack"!)
Bill Rush joins Brian Tramel for a new episode of the flagship show “Shootin' The Shiznit”! On this episode, BT sits down with former Memphis wrestling referee and wrestler Bill Rush to reflect on his lifelong passion for the sport and his experiences in the USWA territory. From watching Saturday morning wrestling with his family in the '70s to working with legends like Jerry Lawler, Bill Dundee, and Eric Embry, Rush shares stories of his early training on outlaw shows, his transition from wrestler to referee, and his unforgettable moments in the ring—including taking a dangerous top-rope piledriver from Embry on live TV. The conversation dives deep into the culture of Memphis wrestling, the camaraderie and chaos behind the scenes, and how one fan's childhood dream to be part of the business actually came true.

BT & Sal launch a fiery assault on the New York Giants' management, specifically general manager Joe Shane, after the decision to fire Brian Daboll while retaining the GM. Given the team's decade-plus run of losing, the hosts vehemently refuse to give the front office any "benefit of the doubt" for their future plans. Sal argues that the team's collapse is the GM's fault for building an inept roster, questioning where the depth is, particularly on the defensive side, and slamming high draft picks like Kayvon Thibodeaux and Abdul Khader for not making an impact. BT agrees, asserting that the organization is caught in a cycle of ineptitude and demanding to know the "excuse for keeping the general manager" after a disastrous period of team-building. They conclude that the Giants' current trajectory is the "antithesis" of what successful NFL franchises are doing.
BT & Sal are furious at the Giants' "idiotic decision" to fire head coach Brian Daboll but retain General Manager Joe Schoen to lead the next coaching search. They slam the move as the "worst thing they could do," arguing Schoen's track record—including an inept roster and highly questionable draft picks (Evan Neal, Deonte Banks)—has earned him no right to hire another coach. The hosts question how ownership can possibly trust Schoen, labeling the franchise "pathetic" and "lost" for repeating the cycle of keeping the GM who hired a failed coach. The discussion also heats up with callers pitching head coach replacements like Jon Gruden and Lane Kiffin, forcing BT and Sal to debate if a college coach is the right fit and if Schoen's mere presence will severely dilute the candidate talent pool. They conclude that by keeping Schoen, the Giants are essentially "accepting losing."
BT & Sal ignite a fiery debate over the post-Daboll Giants, arguing that if star QB Jaxson Dart is out, the team has "no reason to watch" and should embrace tanking for a better draft pick to set up the next head coach. The hosts slam the Giants' hierarchy, highlighting the "Call of the Day" where a caller accuses the owners of compounding problems and "not being football guys." The discussion then pivots to the coaching search, where they intensely weigh the experience of Jon Gruden (Super Bowl winner with an old-school personality) against the consistency of Sean McDermott (perennial playoff contender with the Bills), while also acknowledging the baggage of Brian Flores. Finally, the duo briefly commiserates over the ongoing struggles with the "Unperfect Perfect Parlay", with BT vowing to move to three- and four-team bets to finally escape the curse.
BT, Sal, and Hoff unleash "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth," testing the hottest takes in New York sports and beyond! The trio goes head-to-head on the Mets' looming free agency: Will Edwin Diaz be back in 2026, or will the Dodgers steal him? They clash over baseball insider Jeff Passan's predictions, debating if Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger could be teammates and if the Yankees can afford to lose Bellinger. Finally, a fiery NFL/NHL crossover question: will the Rangers' home win total in November surpass the combined home wins of the Jets and Giants? The segment closes with a serious discussion about the influence of John Mara's health and family loyalty on the Giants' front office decisions.
Sal kicks off the segment with a fiery rant about being "screwed over with tickets" not once, but twice! He calls out Frank from Rails for promising free Rangers tickets—just before the team finally wins their first home of the season—only to have the offer yanked. This doubles down on a previous incident where "Mitch from Fort Lee" gave him the wrong game, forcing Sal to shell out $500 for a Knicks ticket. Sal and BT commiserate over the ticket trauma and the frustration of near-miss freebies at the Garden.

BT & Sal react LIVE to the breaking news: Brian Daboll has been FIRED as the Giants' head coach! The segment kicks off with the "Call of the Day," where a fan passionately calls for Daboll's job, only to be followed by the announcement of his dismissal. The hosts erupt over the Giants' "unacceptable" three years and the pattern of blowing leads, highlighting the team's loss of identity. They debate the drive that led to rookie QB Jaxson Dart's injury and the inherent risk of the RPO offense Daboll favored, questioning the sustainability of an attack predicated on the young quarterback's legs. The Giants now turn to interim head coach Mike Kafka, leaving BT and Sal to ponder who will be the next one with the "broad shoulders" to change the losing franchise.
BT & Sal dive into the Jets' second consecutive victory, with Sal declaring the offense "unwatchable" and the method of winning—through special teams and defensive plays—"not sustainable." Tierney counters by emphasizing the crucial "stacking bricks" phase under Aaron Glenn, noting the team's improved penalty control and the powerful message sent by trading away expensive players like Sauce Gardner and benching Quincy Williams. They agree that the wins are essential for backing the "vultures" off Glenn. The debate heats up over Justin Fields, who threw for only 54 yards, with a caller criticizing his calm post-game demeanor. The hosts defend Fields' "team guy" attitude. Finally, they slam an "asinine" caller who claimed he was right to suggest benching Jaxson Dart due to the risk of injury, with Sal and BT agreeing the injury was predictable, but the solution is changing the play calls, not benching the rookie.
BT recounts his shocking experience at the Jets game, where the parking attendant was "embarrassed" to charge him $100—a price Sal heard was a mid-season hike from the Giants' $60 rate. He rages against the Jets' greed for charging fans so much to see such a miserable product, declaring he would "never pay $100 to park anywhere" again on principle. The conversation also takes a surprising turn as Tierney defends MetLife Stadium, arguing it's "not nearly as bad as we make it out to be" once you are inside, noting the positive atmosphere during the Nick Mangold tribute. The hosts also touch on the astronomical cost of stadium food and the ever-present dilemma of whether to draft a quarterback for the struggling New York teams.
BT and Sal dive into the cultural shock of a "lively" Friday night event at a local bar, contrasting Sal's desire to be a "loner" and his desperate craving for home with BT's view of it as a vital "reset" and team-building opportunity. Sal confesses his deep-seated reluctance to mingle with strangers now that his "social career is over". BT pushes back, arguing that finding a "tight circle" of non-judgmental friends is crucial for mental health, even in your 50s. The segment takes a fiery turn when a caller asks about Breece Hall's future with the Jets, leading Sal to brand the running back a "whiner" and Tierney to praise the GM's "under the radar strong move" in refusing to trade him.
