BT & Sal dive into a fiery discussion covering coaching chaos and major league free agency. In football, they debate the next Giants Head Coach, agreeing that the organization needs "stability" and experienced leadership like Mike McCarthy or Sean McDermott, making the "unknown" risk of promoting Kafka or hiring an untested coordinator like Chris Shula unacceptable. On the diamond, the focus is on the Yankees' offseason priorities. They clash over whether to pursue Kyle Tucker or Cody Bellinger (Sal prefers Tucker, BT values Bellinger's versatility). The biggest debate centers on a potential trade for Corey Seager. BT is willing to take the chance on the two-time World Series MVP despite his injury history, believing his October prowess is worth the risk. Sal vehemently opposes the move, seeing Seager's recurring hamstring issues and massive $190M contract as a recipe for a "Stanton disaster" and proof the Yankees continue to chase players whose best years are behind them. They also scrutinize Cashman's comments on the outfield, calling his contingency plan "unacceptable."

BT and Sal open with frustration over Jaxson Dart missing another game due to concussion protocol, stalling the Giants' future watch. They pivot to baseball, dissecting the Yankees' pursuit of an outfielder (Steven Kwan vs. Cody Bellinger) and debating whether the Tigers are "absolute morons" for potentially holding onto ace Tarik Skubal despite his inevitable $400 million contract. They welcome sports betting insider Nick Kostos to discuss NFL Week 12. The trio savages the Bills' diminishing Super Bowl window and debates whether Josh Allen's massive contract is strangling the roster. Kostos delivers his favorite bet of the week—the OVER in the Giants/Lions game—and doubles down on his controversial pick that the Chiefs are the only team in the AFC capable of winning the Super Bowl. They wrap up by discussing potential Giants coaching candidates, including Sean McDermott and Cowboys OC Kellen Moore.

BT & Sal ignite an explosive discussion starting with former Mets reliever Adam Ottavino's shocking podcast remarks, where he accused manager Carlos Mendoza of "pathetic" bullpen usage leading to a surgery crisis and called Brandon Nimmo "sensitive." The focus then shifts to the Giants, as Jaxson Dart is officially ruled out this weekend, forcing a debate on protecting the young QB from "idiotic" play-calling and whether interim coach Mike Kafka is a viable long-term option. On the baseball hot stove, the hosts clash over the Yankees' free agency targets—is Kyle Tucker or Cody Bellinger the better fit?—and furiously debate a potential trade for Corey Seager, with one host willing to risk the huge contract for his October pedigree and the other calling it a guaranteed "Stanton disaster." Finally, sports betting insider Nick Kostos joins to deliver his NFL Week 12 picks, including the Giants/Lions OVER, before BT, Sal, and Hoff unveil their "Perfect Parlay" bets.

BT and Sal unleash a torrent of commentary following former Mets reliever Adam Ottavino's fiery podcast remarks, where he torches Carlos Mendoza, accusing the manager of "pathetic" bullpen usage and questioning if the organization "even care[s]" about pitcher health, leading to a record number of Tommy John surgeries. Ottavino also stirs the pot by calling former teammate Brandon Nimmo "sensitive" regarding clubhouse leadership and media stories. The hosts also tackle Brian Cashman's defense of Trent Grisham using cryptic "underlying information" and debate whether the Mets should trade the declining Nimmo, McNeil, and Senga during the Hot Stove season. Finally, it's time for the "Perfect Parlay" picks for NFL Week 12. Hoff leads the scoring race, prompting a "desperate" Sal to roll out a three-team parlay with the Giants/Lions Over 50.5 and the 49ers -7. Tierney lays a big -13 with the Lions and takes the Cowboys +3.5 as an upset special.

It's Week 12, and the "Perfect Parlay" leaderboard is getting Fiery! Leader Hoff is out in front, forcing BT and Sal into desperation mode with their three-teamers. Sal throws a Hail Mary by latching onto the Giants/Lions Over 50.5, takes Cincinnati +6.5 as a home dog, and hammers the 49ers -7 on Monday Night. Hoff, feeling confident, rolls out an All-Dogs four-teamer, including the Jets +13.5 (yes, really!) and the Giants +13. BT focuses on bounce-back teams, laying a big number with the Lions -13 and backing the Chiefs -3.5, while taking the Cowboys +3.5 in a classic NFC East rivalry game. The guys also discuss the high-stakes Turkey Day Teaser that could decide their final standings and their humiliating WWE fate!

BT, Sal, and betting guru Nick Kostos unleash their fiery best bets for NFL Week 12! Kostos declares the Giants are headed for a "bloodbath" against the Lions, passionately arguing for the Over 50 total due to the Jameis Winston factor. They pivot to the AFC, where Sal takes a victory lap on the Chiefs' AFC West demise, and Kostos shockingly states the Chiefs are the only AFC team capable of winning the Super Bowl, despite their struggles (and current -200 playoff odds). The trio also breaks down the Ravens' offense being vulnerable enough for the Jets to cover, and debates whether the Giants should pursue a "good coach" like Sean McDermott or take a chance on a rising name like Cowboys offensive coordinator, Clayton Adams.

BT and Sal tear into the Yankees' offseason plans, centered on GM Brian Cashman's recent comments about the outfield. The hosts call out Cashman's attempt to temper expectations by suggesting a "worst-case scenario" of relying on prospects Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez alongside Trent Grisham as "playing possum." They then debate the merits of the top two outfield free agents, Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker, with Sal expressing strong preference for Bellinger's versatility—but only for five or six years, fearing his market will explode to $170 million or more. The segment features BT and Sal's "Money Pit" contract guesses for Bellinger and Pete Alonso, along with a caller pushing for a trade for Bo Bichette. Finally, the show is briefly interrupted by breaking news: Jaxon Dart has not been cleared from concussion protocol, dramatically lowering Tierney's interest in the upcoming Giants game.

BT & Sal dive into the hot seat around Giants Offensive Coordinator Mike Kafka, debating whether the team's improved offensive output this season (finally scoring points!) is enough to save his job. While listeners give Kafka credit for the unexpected success with a backup QB and a better run game, the hosts question if he's truly a QB whisperer or merely riding the coattails of a better quarterback situation. The discussion pivots to the looming possibility of a major coaching shake-up, focusing on a polarizing name: Sean McDermott. BT and Sal weigh the pros and cons of hiring the embattled Bills coach—a move that would raise the Giants' "floor" to respectability but might not be a "home run." The segment concludes with a look at the Giants' struggling defense, particularly the poor play from players like Bobby Okereke.

BT and Sal dive into Jaxson Dart's return to play following his concussion, focusing on how new play-caller Mike Kafka will manage the young quarterback differently than Brian Daboll. The hosts argue that the remainder of the season is solely about Dart's development and availability, not wins or losses, and that Kafka must prove he can protect the franchise QB by limiting designed runs. They vehemently criticize the "insane" mindset of fans who want to "bubble wrap" Dart for the rest of the season, asserting he needs to play to evolve. The discussion expands to the Giants' overall two-and-nine record, debating whether the team is "devoid of talent" or just poorly coached, with the hosts agreeing that the current record is worse than the roster's actual potential.

BT & Sal ignite a heated argument with Hoff over a hypothetical Mets trade proposal by Jim Bowden, which sends four top prospects (Tong, Sproat, Williams, Mauricio) to Detroit for one year of Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. BT is "in a heartbeat" for the trade, arguing they must be aggressive to land a frontline ace. Hoff slams it as "irresponsible", insisting they absolutely cannot trade that "butt load of prospects" without a guaranteed contract extension, comparing the high cost to the Yankees' "bunch of nothing" price for Juan Soto. The debate centers on risk: the Mets' willingness to gamble on an extension versus the risk of being "stupid" and losing their best young talent for a one-year rental.

BT & Sal ignite a heated conversation around the baseball offseason and the NBA's failing regular season. They debate the hypothetical nightmare of Pete Alonso landing with the Yankees, discussing whether adding the Polar Bear's power is the "restructuring" the Bombers need (trading Stanton and IKF) or just a power overdose. The discussion pivots to the Tigers' Tarik Skubal, where Sal unleashes a scorching critique of the front office executive who believes Skubal's trade value will be the same at the deadline as it is now. The hosts call the strategy "moronic," citing the massive risk of injury (Cole, Alcantara) and the loss of full-season control. Finally, they tackle the NBA's lack of urgency, with BT slamming the regular season as "largely unwatchable" due to the constant rest days and the compromised competition. They yearn for the competitive spirit of 90s basketball and explore radical solutions (like split seasons) to make the games matter again.

BT & Sal dive into a fiery debate over the Yankees and Mets' intertwined offseason, focusing on a direct clash for Cody Bellinger and the closer market (Edwin Diaz vs. Devin Williams). Sal argues the Mets must pursue Bellinger and go "pedal to the metal," while BT has more faith in Brian Cashman's urgency than David Stearns' willingness to spend like a big-market GM. The Mets' need for a "shake up" dominates the conversation, with discussion of trading Senga (despite the desperate need for pitching) and moving core players like McNeil, Nimmo, Baty, and Vientos—the guys Sal is "tired of waiting on." The segment concludes with BT teasing his "Grand Slam Mets Offseason" plan, a four-component blueprint he believes would make the Mets World Series contenders.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery debate over Sal's "home run blueprint" for the Mets' perfect offseason, which centers on trading for ace Tarik Skubal, signing a frontline starter like Ranger Suarez (while Sal dismisses Dylan Cease as "just another dude"), and re-signing Pete Alonso—especially since he's open to DH. The discussion heats up as they clash over the realism of acquiring Skubal and the $400 million contract that would follow. Sal pushes for a big bat like Bellinger, Tucker, or Bregman to complete the lineup, leading to a controversial take: is trading Nimmo the better long-term move if it means keeping a DH-capable Alonso and improving the overall team defense? The stakes are high for David Stearns and Steve Cohen to execute a massive overhaul.

BT reveals a bombshell: he and Sal were alerted by A-Rod's cousin that they might be getting an invite to Alex Rodriguez's highly anticipated Christmas party! The hosts dive into the anxiety of waiting for the official email, with BT constantly refreshing his inbox and Sal questioning if it landed in spam. They hilariously speculate on the A-list (and maybe B-list) guests who will be attending, including potential appearances by David Ortiz ("Big Papi"). The segment underscores the power dynamic of the elusive celebrity invite—and the dilemma of balancing an A-Rod bash with a wife's birthday party.

BT and Sal dive into a fiery discussion on the Yankees and Mets' overlapping offseason targets, focusing on how Cody Bellinger and Devin Williams are perfect, must-have fits for both clubs. Sal unveils his four-part, "Grand Slam Blueprint" for the Mets, which includes trading for Tarik Skubal, signing a pitcher like Ranger Suarez, re-signing Pete Alonso, and acquiring one of the big bats (Bellinger, Tucker, or Bregman). They debate the plausibility of the Mets making "massive moves"—including trading Brandon Nimmo and Kodai Senga—with Sal needing to see Stearns act like a big-market GM. The conversation shifts to the broader landscape, where they express outrage over the looming CBA expiration and the possibility of a lockout, arguing that another work stoppage would prove baseball's "greedy pigs" are disconnected from the fans. Finally, the hosts touch on the more glamorous side of the offseason, revealing they are anxiously awaiting the official invitation to A-Rod's Christmas party, with Sal admitting Alex Rodriguez even texted him about the disastrous Trent Grisham deal.

BT & Sal unleash a fiery critique on the Detroit Tigers' front office for considering waiting until the trade deadline to move ace Tarik Skubal. Sal calls the idea "idiotic" and argues Skubal's value will "never be as good as it is right now" due to the high risk of injury (citing Gerrit Cole) and the loss of team control. He demands the exec who floated the idea be fired for being a "moron." The hosts pivot to a bold Mets trade scenario: acquiring elite talent like Gold Glovers Ezequiel Tovar and Brenton Doyle from the Rockies by taking on the catastrophic contract of Kris Bryant (still owed nearly $90 million). BT shuts down the idea after discovering Doyle's alarmingly low on-base percentage, but the debate emphasizes the Mets' need to be "very creative" on the trade front.

BT & Sal ignite a heated argument with Hoff over a hypothetical Mets trade proposal by Jim Bowden, which sends four top prospects (Tong, Sproat, Williams, Mauricio) to Detroit for one year of Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. BT is "in a heartbeat" for the trade, arguing they must be aggressive to land a frontline ace. Hoff slams it as "irresponsible", insisting they absolutely cannot trade that "butt load of prospects" without a guaranteed contract extension, comparing the high cost to the Yankees' "bunch of nothing" price for Juan Soto. The debate centers on risk: the Mets' willingness to gamble on an extension versus the risk of being "stupid" and losing their best young talent for a one-year rental.

BT & Sal lay down their fiery NFL Week 12 Power Up Rankings with some huge shakeups and controversial picks. Sal kicks off the debate by putting the Denver Broncos at number five (a team BT has championed for weeks), while BT controversially drops the 9-2 New England Patriots to number two, and excludes the Eagles entirely, despite their 8-2 record, citing a fundamental lack of belief in the champs. The big head-turner is BT's Super Bowl prediction of the Broncos vs. 49ers, as he trusts Denver's defense and Sean Payton's coaching more than the struggling Chiefs. Sal pushes the 49ers into his top five, banking on their health and "soft schedule," while he crowns the Rams as the best team in the NFC. They also briefly touch on the Bills' inconsistency ahead of their Thursday night game and the perplexing nature of the winning-but-flawed Eagles.

BT and Sal kick off the show with the bizarre video of Cam Skattebo performing a "shoey"—drinking an energy drink from a cleat—and his sideline antics. The hosts ignite a debate over a hypothetical Yankees trade for Tarik Skubal, questioning if a package including Spencer Jones and Will Warren is enough to beat the competition, and are shocked that ESPN ranks the Yankees' farm system at a disappointing 25th, compared to the Mets' #1 ranking. The conversation pivots to the international market, where they discuss the race for Japanese stars like Kaz Okamoto and the surprisingly low batting average of Munetaka Murakami against fastballs. A caller then proposes a trade for Fernando Tatis Jr., forcing the hosts to dissect his massive, albatross-like contract. In the Call of the Day, the guys argue over Alex Bregman's declining value against Ryan McMahon's solid defense. The show wraps up with a fun time-machine question: What single historical sporting event would they go back to?

BT and Sal dive deep into a fiery debate over the Yankees' third base decision for 2026: pursue the superior, clutch, but aging Alex Bregman or settle for the defense-first Ryan McMahon, warning against a DJ LeMahieu-like decline. On the Mets side, the discussion ignites over a trade proposal for Cy Young-level pitcher Tarik Skubal, requiring four top prospects (Tong, Sproat, Jett Williams, Mauricio). Sal views losing the prospects without a guaranteed extension as "irresponsible," while BT and Hof argue a generational talent like Skubal is worth the risk. Finally, the hosts battle over their Week 12 NFL Power Rankings, with BT controversially crowning his Denver Broncos as the AFC's best team, even predicting a Broncos vs. 49ers Super Bowl, while Sal struggles to trust the inconsistency of the Eagles and Bills.

BT and Sal ignite a fiery debate on the New York baseball offseason, focusing on the nightmare scenario of Pete Alonso in pinstripes and the Mets' hypothetical, high-stakes Tarik Skubal trade proposal (costing four top prospects). Sal unveils his "Grand Slam Blueprint" for the Mets' future, but the hosts slam any executive who thinks Skubal's trade value won't drop due to injury risk—calling the strategy "moronic." The discussion pivots to the Yankees' third-base quandary: Is the safer, defense-first Ryan McMahon a better fit than the superior, aging Alex Bregman? Plus, shockwaves hit as the Yankees' farm system ranks a dismal 25th to the Mets' #1. Finally, they tackle the broader sports world, with BT railing against the "unwatchable" NBA regular season due to rest days, and they argue over the Week 12 NFL Power Rankings, where BT controversially champions his Denver Broncos.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery discussion about Trent Grisham's decision to accept the qualifying offer ($22 million), with BT calling it a "colossal mistake" by the Yankees' front office, who seemingly misread his willingness to take the one-year deal. BT views the move as the "first potential domino to a horrendous offseason," arguing the allure of a compensatory pick blindsided them. Sal, however, believes Grisham is still a valuable commodity who can be used as a high-end fourth outfielder or trade bait (after the June 15 deadline), and that the $22 million shouldn't stop the Yankees from landing Cody Bellinger or trading for Steven Kwan. The hosts debate the impact on the roster, specifically how Grisham's presence complicates the paths for young prospects Jason Dominguez and Spencer Jones and exacerbates the Yankees' already dangerous left-handed hitting compromise. BT's main fear remains that this move encourages the Yankees to "run it back" with a team that failed to win, banking too heavily on a different outcome.

BT & Sal unleash a torrent of fury over Trent Grisham's shocking acceptance of the $22 million Qualifying Offer (QO), arguing it's the "first potential domino to a horrendous offseason" that kills the Yankees' chances at big targets like Cody Bellinger. Sal pushes for a bold trade for Steven Kwan, while BT fears Cashman will use the QO as an excuse to "roll back" the same failed 2025 roster. The heat continues with Three Random Questions, including a Giants legend showdown: Phil Simms vs. Boomer Esiason in a one-game Super Bowl, a gross debate on gum seats at MSG vs. public humiliation, and whether they could survive prison with a phone. Plus, Giants star Cam Skattebo is put under the microscope for clapping back at critics after his WWE ringside scuffle, and the hosts reveal their fiery early leans for NFL Week 12 Parlay Perfection.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery critique of the Yankees' front office after Trent Grisham shocked the industry by accepting the Qualifying Offer (QO) for $22 million, a move both hosts agree was a colossal misread by the team driven by the lure of a compensatory draft pick. BT argues the QO acceptance is the "first potential domino to a horrendous offseason," fearing the added salary and player complexity will make the Yankees reluctant to pursue top targets like Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker. Sal pushes back, insisting the Yankees can (and must) absorb the cost and still be aggressive, specifically needing to trade prospects like Dominguez or Jones for an elite piece like Steven Kwan to truly improve. The hosts also break down the financial impact and player fit, with the conversation focusing on the Yankees' urgent need for a right-handed bat (like Alex Bregman) and the danger of running back the same "not-a-championship-team" roster. Ultimately, they agree that if the QO prevents the necessary aggressive moves, it signals a failure to adapt as Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole's competitive window shrinks.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery critique of the Yankees' off-season strategy, arguing that Trent Grisham's acceptance of the $22 million qualifying offer is the first "domino that dooms" their plan to "roll back" the same deficient roster. Sal fears Cashman will use Gerrit Cole's return as an excuse not to make necessary, aggressive moves for players like Kwan or Tucker, while callers slam the GM for hoarding "penny stocks" prospects like Spencer Jones and Dominguez. They argue that the young core has failed to develop and the team needs an "all-in" structural overhaul. The conversation shifts to the Giants, where a caller demands that Joe Schoen must go immediately following the team's embarrassing season. BT and Sal push back on the timing, arguing that the season is lost and the organization's focus must remain on the sensitive health issues of ownership, suggesting that while Schoen should be next to go, the action will and should wait until the end of the year.

BT and Sal dive into the fiery reaction from Giants star Cam Skattebo, who clapped back at critics for judging his WWE attendance while injured. They debate the issue of professional decorum, weighing Cam's star power against the lack of self-awareness shown by fellow Giant Abdul Carter. The conversation shifts to the NFL Week 12 slate, where the hosts discuss "Parlay Perfection" strategy, revealing their early leans on the Chiefs-Colts and Cowboys-Eagles games as the pressure mounts on BT to close the gap on Hoff. Finally, they tackle the "Call of the Day" and several callers who pile on Brian Cashman, slamming the Yankees' "stale" vision, bad signings, and failed player development.

BT and Sal dive into an explosive "Call of the Day" where a fiery Yankees fan, Mike from Manalapan, torches Brian Cashman for his failure to develop position players, comparing his tight grip on prospects to holding onto a failing "Bitcoin." The caller demands the Yankees "package them all" and trade prospects like Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez for a top-tier player. The hosts then take a call from a Mets fan who defends the Yankees' consistent success, arguing that making the playoffs "almost every year" isn't "stale." Sal and BT push back, asserting that the Yankees' standard must be higher than mere playoff contention, and the fan frustration stems from the consistent, championship-less repeat of the same failures, worsened by recent moves like the Trent Grisham qualifying offer.

BT and Sal react with praise to Aaron Glenn's latest press conference, where he officially names Tyrod Taylor the starting QB with a defiant "Because I wanted to!" They applaud Glenn's shift in demeanor—less defensive and more directly in charge—which they believe is a template for the "New Jets DNA." The hosts speculate that the decision was likely forced by a leak from one of the quarterbacks or their agents. The conversation then turns fiery, with Sal highlighting the stunning financial mistake made by the front office: a massive $57 million allocated to Aaron Rodgers and potentially cut quarterback Justin Fields next year, calling it a major blunder by the GM.

Send us a textWhat happens when you strip the mystique from Scientology and just answer the hard questions? We open the inbox and go straight at the topics most people tiptoe around: where Shelly Miscavige is likely being held, why so few members ever reach OT 3, what really happens to body thetans, and why OT 9 and 10 never seem to materialize. No hedging, no euphemisms—just clarity from people who lived inside the system for years.We start by framing how control works at the top: pressure, punishment, and a culture that rewards obedience over truth. That lens makes sense of everything from CST properties and remote placements to the constant delays on new OT levels. If leadership could invent scriptures, why hasn't it? Because making up higher levels risks exposure if originals surface, which explains the obsessive surveillance of Pat Broeker and the endless “preservation” campaigns that raise money while keeping access scarce. We connect those dots to everyday experiences at Int Base, the few who actually reached OT 3, and why Xenu all but disappears after that—while BT cleanup becomes a life's work.We also talk about laughter as a pressure valve: South Park's “pneumonia” myth, The Simpsons' broadside, and the futility of gagging a culture built on parody. The point isn't to dunk; it's to show how public humor punctures private fear. Along the way, we share humane memories—cruise dinners with Ron Miscavige Sr., a trumpet rendition of Happy Birthday, the quiet rituals of parenting after indoctrination. Rebuilding happens in small, consistent choices: therapy, books, united decisions, and the stubborn act of asking better questions.If you're curious about Scientology, or you left and need language for what you saw, this Q&A is built to be useful.

BT & Sal dive deep into the MLB free agency landscape, using a Gemini-AI generated cliff notes version of a lengthy Jeff Passan article to hit the main points. They discuss the Mets' apparent willingness to trade almost anyone (Nimmo, McNeil, Senga, etc.) and the Yankees' dilemma over Trent Grisham's qualifying offer, with Sal arguing the move complicates the future of prospects like Dominguez. The "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth" segment heats up with: The Mets Roster & AI: Will David Stearns use AI to build the team? (BT says Lie, Sal says Truth on its use). The Quick Attack: Did Jonathan Quick have the right to attack Mason Appleton for shooting the puck after the horn? (They both say Truth, respecting the unwritten rule). Nets Stink: Will the Nets win less than 10 games? (Sal says Truth, showing his disdain for the team). Finally, an industry source drops a bombshell, suggesting it's "very unlikely" Pete Alonso returns to the Mets, with the Angels being eyed as the "stupid team to overpay." The conversation concludes with a bizarre debate about the lack of urinal dividers at Citi Field and MetLife.

BT & Sal dive into Jeff Passan's comprehensive MLB offseason preview, discussing the hot rumors and high-stakes free agency decisions facing the New York clubs. For the Mets, the news is dominated by David Stearns's radical overhaul, with star players like Nimmo, McNeil, and Senga all deemed "extremely available." The hosts are energized by the possibility of the Mets pursuing a powerhouse bullpen, pairing Devin Williams with Edwin Diaz, while Sal remains convinced Pete Alonso will ultimately stay, despite the Red Sox's heavy interest in both Pete and Alex Bregman. For the Yankees, the big question is whether Trent Grisham will accept the Qualifying Offer, which BT hopes he rejects to avoid "complicating the future." The two clash over the handling of Jasson Dominguez, with BT arguing the Yankees need to get an answer on their young players at the Major League level, while Sal believes the Martian needs more time in the minors to fully develop and find a position. The segment also notes that both the Mets and Yankees are currently in the mix for star outfielder Kyle Tucker.

BT & Sal dive into a surprisingly fiery topic: the lack of urinal dividers at Citi Field and other stadiums like MetLife. Sal questions the big deal, claiming he doesn't care who's next to him, but the consensus from BT, Hof, and a caller is a firm "divider up!" BT argues he needs privacy and would prefer Steve Cohen spend money on team improvements over bathroom renovations, though he admits the undivided trough-like setup is a problem. The conversation takes a strange turn when BT recounts a traumatizing experience standing next to Dennis Rodman in a Vegas restroom. The segment concludes with a chaotic recap of Hof's trip to the arena, involving a bloody nose and BT sitting on a piece of gum!

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."

BT and Sal unleash a fiery Week 11 recap, starting with seething frustration over the "atrocious" and "phantom" pass interference call that effectively ended the Lions-Eagles Sunday Night Football game. The main event is the Chiefs' collapse to 5-5, with BT reluctantly acknowledging the crisis while Sal bets against Kansas City making the playoffs entirely! They dive deep into the AFC Playoff Picture, discussing how the surging Broncos and Chargers have pushed the Chiefs to the brink and analyzing the chances for other contenders like the Ravens, Colts, and Jaguars to grab a Wild Card spot. It's an unfiltered look at the NFL's current chaos, from bad calls to dynastic downfall.

BT and Sal dive into the post-Daboll Giants chaos, arguing that the latest loss proves the problem lies with the "talent-free" roster built by Joe Shane, not just the head coach. They stress that the Giants must "bleed out" and keep losing to ensure a complete organizational reset, including firing Shane before he hires another coach and perpetuates the "cycle of sloppiness." Sal demands the "awful" Shane Bowen be fired immediately for the defense's constant fourth-quarter collapses, while BT is intrigued by Mike Kafka's accountability measures despite advocating for an outside hire. The segment concludes with a fiery breakdown of Bo Nickal's knockout win, celebrating his dominance and unexpected "villain" energy, which silenced the critics who deemed him overrated.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery response to the news that Giants rookie Abdul Carter was benched for one series because he missed a walkthrough while asleep in the team facility. Further reporting reveals that Brian Daboll had previously allowed Carter's trend of being late to meetings to "slide." The hosts slam the incident as an "appalling" sign of the Giants' broken culture and a lack of accountability from both the former head coach and current interim Mike Kafka, whose mild punishment is deemed insufficient. They argue that the veteran leadership, including Dexter Lawrence, is also failing to check the young player. The discussion begins with a debate over whether the Giants have been reckless with rookie QB Jaxson Dart, concluding that his rushing has been "necessary" given the team's deficiencies, but must be refined going forward. The segment closes by drawing a line from the Giants' current woes back to the neutering of Tom Coughlin's authority to placate Odell Beckham Jr., arguing the organization has prioritized talent over foundation and discipline for years.

BT & Sal are incensed by the latest reports on Giants rookie Abdul Carter, who was benched for a drive due to repeatedly sleeping/missing meetings and a walkthrough. They slam the lack of accountability that started under former head coach Brian Daboll and criticize Carter's flimsy social media defense that he was "recovering." Sal argues that Mike Kafka's light punishment (a drive on special teams) was too weak and a failure to establish necessary control over a locker room "littered with losers." The conversation shifts to the Jets, reacting to the breaking news that Tyrod Taylor will start at quarterback over Justin Fields. BT and Sal express zero expectations for the move but agree it's necessary to evaluate the vertical threats like rookie TE Mason Taylor. The segment also covers potential Giants head coaching candidates, with BT backing Brian Flores as the necessary disciplinarian and Sal supporting Mike McCarthy. Finally, they debate the dramatic possibility of trading Dexter Lawrence to shake up the spiraling organization.

BT & Sal ignite the debate over Mets slugger Pete Alonso after Josh Naylor's reported five-year deal with the Mariners, with Sal arguing the move sets a high floor for Pete's contract—likely six years for $180M—which Sal thinks the Mets shouldn't pay due to Pete's limited utility outside of power. They debate if Naylor's versatility makes him a better player than Pete for team building. The discussion shifts to the Giants' embarrassing two-and-nine season: BT rips into the notion that the team is "competitive," and Sal criticizes Jalin Hyatt for slowing down on his route to seal the loss against the Packers. They also blast the lack of accountability surrounding Abdul Carter's repeated tardiness. Finally, they briefly touch on John Cena's last match at MSG and the disgusting on-field conduct of Jamar Chase. The segment ends with Sal screaming down a caller who suggests Paul Goldschmidt as a replacement for Alonso.

BT & Sal go head-to-head on the major implications of Josh Naylor's reported five-year extension with the Mariners, arguing it has immediately set a floor for Pete Alonso's free-agent negotiations. BT argues Naylor's deal is a "good night for Pete," suggesting Alonso will now command a minimum of five years at a massive salary. However, BT insists the Mets should not sign him for six years, arguing Naylor offers a more well-rounded skill set (higher contact, better defense, better on the bases) compared to Pete's pure power. Sal fires back, calling Naylor a "poor man's Pete Alonso" and a "moneyball guy" who isn't needed in New York. He maintains that Alonso's proven power and clutch performance in the New York market are irreplaceable and that the Mets must re-sign him to maintain the team's core, especially behind Juan Soto. The conversation heats up as they debate whether David Stearns is overthinking the situation and what moves the Mets must make if they let Pete walk, with Cody Bellinger being the only acceptable replacement.

BT & Sal kick off the show with breaking news that the Jets are benching Justin Fields for veteran Tyrod Taylor in Week 12. Sal concedes it's the right move, not for wins, but to finally see what the Jets' young players can do with a "vertical passing threat," even if his overall expectations are "zero." This leads into a heated discussion on the Giants' spiraling lack of accountability, focusing on the shocking report that Abdul Carter was repeatedly sleeping in team meetings and walkthroughs. The hosts debate whether interim head coach Mike Kafka's light punishment (benching Carter for one drive) was too "weak" or a "gentler way" to discipline a Gen Z star, then pivot to the Giants' inevitable head coach search, with Sal stumping for Mike McCarthy and BT doubling down on the no-nonsense approach of Brian Flores.

This week's Yankees highlights include reactions to the bombshell report that Paul Skenes told a Pirates teammate that he wants to join the Yankees. BT and Sal agree that the Yanks should trade the farm for the Cy Young winner, while Chris McMonigle throws cold water on the report. Plus, multiple hosts agree that the Bombers cannot afford to lose Cody Bellinger this offseason.
