Sal and BT opened the show lauding Cam Schlittler's "all-time" dominant postseason debut against the Boston Red Sox, a clutch performance that secured the Yankees' trip to the ALCS. The co-hosts praised the team's improved defense and balance, suggesting this might be the start of a deep playoff run. The conversation then pivot to a "massive shakeup" for the Mets, with the firing of pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, hitting coach Jeremy Barnes, and Eric Chavez. The move was deemed a necessary "clean house" moment for a fresh start, with the hosts wondering who will fill the void and whether this shakeup is also a subtle "warning shot" to manager Carlos Mendoza.

Sal and BT debated the intense pressure on Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, with Sal arguing that no New York baseball manager in recent memory—Yankees or Mets—has been under such critical scrutiny from the organization right out of the gate. He fears Mendoza is on a firing line that begins in April, not the postseason, a reality he believes is toxic and unfair. While acknowledging that Mendoza is a "good baseball guy" who was loose and successful in his first year, Sal suspects the raised expectations and pressure from the front office caused him to manage "by the book," ultimately impacting his effectiveness. The discussion centered on whether Stearns and the front office truly believe in Mendoza and if the manager will be given a fair chance to succeed given the club's high expectations.

BT and Sal dive into the Mets coaching chaos, questioning why Carlos Mendoza was spared while other familiar names, including the hitting and pitching coaches, were fired. The duo then moves to their NFL Week 5 "Perfect Parlay" picks, with Sal laying heavy chalk on the Cardinals, Hoff surprisingly backing the Giants, and BT trusting the Broncos. The segment wraps with a "Call of the Day" debating the merits of Yankees manager Aaron Boone and a "Player to Watch" spotlight on the Giants' Darius Slayton, all punctuated by an awkward and flat joke attempt by Hoff that gets roasted by the whole crew.

Sal and BT dissect the Yankees' masterful Wild Card series win against the Red Sox, driven by Cam Schlittler's "all-time dominating" performance, signaling a deeper, cleaner brand of baseball for the team. The celebration is immediately countered by the breaking news of a "massive" coaching shakeup for the Mets, as Jeremy Hefner, Jeremy Barnes, and Eric Chavez are all reportedly out, prompting the hosts to debate the impact of the "new juice" and the unfair pressure on manager Carlos Mendoza. Finally, Nick Kostos jumps in to provide his NFL Week 5 best bets, confidently taking the Jets plus the points against a depleted Cowboys offensive line, while remaining cautious about the Giants in a "coin flip" game against the Saints.

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo tie a bow on the 2025 season for the Mets, a season that ended in complete disappointment and failure. Connor and Joe recap all that went wrong that brought the Mets nowhere near their expectations, and sort the blame between president of baseball ops David Stearns, manager Carlos Mendoza, the coaching staff, and the players. The guys also look ahead to what needs to be fixed, plus ideas for how to do it, and react to comments Stearns made during his end-of-season news conference. As always, the show dives into the Mailbag to also give voice to the frustrated fans, who have their own questions about the way the Mets went down.

Hour 2 We started the hour talking about the Giants as they head to Dallas this week. We wondered when we might see Jaxson Dart. If they have another bad half, they might throw him out there in the second half. Both Aaron Rodgers and Daniel Jones played great in week 1, which was just awesome for Jets and Giants fans. As much as we were impressed with the Jets, they did blow the game and let Rodgers stand up there as the victor at the podium. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Mets losing to the Phillies for their fifth straight loss. The Mets are not looking like a playoff team. Boomer said the Giants must get the ball in the hands of Malik Nabers at least 10 times this week. Richie Incognito said of Tua's performance: ‘Tua is ass. He looks bad'. In the final segment of the hour, we took a look at week 2 in the NFL and looked at some good teams that could start out 0-2 and whether those teams would go into panic mode.

Hour 4 We started with the 24th anniversary of 9/11. The Phillies ‘Karen' has still not been identified which is amazing in this day and age. We don't want anything to happen to her, it's just strange that they don't know who it is. Gio said kids have finally figured out that going to college in the South is a great idea. Jerry returned for his final update of the day and previewed Giants/Cowboys with comments from Brian Daboll. Russell Wilson talked about ‘being really freaking great today'. The Yankees bullpen was terrible last night. The Moment of The Day: Malik Nabers has a ‘natural bitch face'.

Boomer said he needs to get his head out of his ass and start listening to his coaches.

Jerry returns for an update, but first Boomer shows a picture from a Ryder Cup event he played in 20 years ago with a bunch of celebrities.

Deion Sanders was asked about his starting quarterback for this weekend. In the final segment of the hour, C-Mac, who loves the Yankees, has officially given up on Anthony Volpe. A caller has a wager for Gio for this weekend's boxing match on Netflix.

Hour 1 It feels like we are in the middle of a complete collapse by the Mets. The Mets are on the verge of not making the playoffs, and if they do make it, it will be short lived. To not get as far as last year after adding Juan Soto would be insane. They cannot let Sean Manaea pitch another game this season. Gio said they stink and have stunk for months. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with Kyle Schwarber hitting his 50th HR last night as the Phillies beat the Mets. The SF Giants won, also not good for the Mets. The Yankees had a very rough 7th inning and lost to the Tigers. Aaron Judge passed Yogi Berra as 5th all time in Yankees HRs. Buck Martinez had quite the critique of the Yankees during the Blue Jays broadcast. Chris Long talked about feeling old while watching the YouTube NFL broadcast.

A caller has a wager for Gio for this weekend's boxing match on Netflix. Hour 3 Who is more likely to win this week, the Giants over the Cowboys or the Jets over the Bills? Will the Jets offense look anything like week 1 or was that an anomaly? If the Jets can run the ball like week 1, they will be in every game this year. Gio wonders if Boomer was into the UAP video of a missile being shot at an orb and it bouncing off. We took many calls on the UAP orb. Jerry returns for an update, but first Gio asks him about the alien orb. The Jets are cutting Xavier Gipson because of his fumble this past weekend. Daniel Jones was on Pat McAfee and talked about his big game with the Colts and his poor play with the Giants. Micah Parsons talked about his move to Green Bay after camp. The Yankees had a terrible seventh inning and lost to the Tigers. In the final segment of the hour, a caller wonders if this Mets collapse will be worse than 2007.
