The Jets hit rock bottom at 0-4 with fumbles, flags, and Cam Ward's blunt “we ass,” while Aaron Glenn keeps preaching discipline nobody sees. Boomer insists the Bengals are worse, but callers shredded Gang Green's effort and wondered why he was rocking a Yankees jersey. The Yanks–Sox rivalry loomed, Pete Alonso's future looked shaky, and David Stearns wore the blame for a failed deadline. AJ Brown posted cryptic Bible verses, C-Lo called in fiery to defend his name, and by the final hour we had Brandon Tierney “abhorring football,” Irvin ripping the clock, and Gio golfing to Slipknot. Pure New York chaos from start to finish.

The Jets got run over in Miami to drop to 0-4—penalties, turnovers, and Aaron Glenn's promised discipline nowhere to be found. Boomer says the Bengals are even worse, Tyreek Hill limped off with a busted knee, and Cam Ward summed it up best: “We ass.” Meanwhile, Brian Callahan clashed with a Titans reporter, David Stearns admitted to deadline whiffs, and Glenn was heard tearing into his team postgame—while a caller ripped Boomer for rocking Yankees gear.

Jerry's final update hit baseball first, with Max Fried and Garrett Crochet set for October starts and David Stearns owning up to a trade deadline flop. The Jets' Miami meltdown took center stage next—turnovers, flags, Glenn's frustration, and Cam Ward's blunt “we ass” summation, with Brandon Tierney saying he now “abhors football.” Michael Irvin blasted the Cowboys-Packers clock fiasco, and Gio's bizarre workout routine closed out the Moment of the Day.

Sal and BT dissected the agony of the 2025 Mets season, contrasting their failure to make the playoffs with the Detroit Tigers, who suffered a historic division collapse yet still snuck into October baseball. Sal emphasized that the Mets' high payroll and talent made their absence unacceptable, showing they couldn't even "fold the right way." The discussion segued into how the new regime, led by David Stearns, must drastically change the team's defensive philosophy, even if it means moving on from fan-favorites like Pete Alonso or Brandon Nimmo to prioritize sound, well-rounded baseball.

BT and Sal bring in Hoff for a fiery edition of "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth," tackling three controversial statements. First, Sal declares the Mets making the 2026 playoffs is a Bald-Faced Truth, driven by his faith in Steve Cohen and David Stearns to make major changes. Second, the trio debates if Darius Slayton will lead the Giants in receiving yards this season, with Sal betting it's a Bald-Faced Lie in favor of Wan'Dale Robinson. Finally, they heatedly discuss the Yankees-Red Sox Game 1 pitching matchup, with Sal ultimately siding with Max Fried having a better line than Garrett Crochet, arguing that Aaron Judge will touch up the Red Sox ace.

Sal and BT opened by roasting the Mets for their catastrophic failure, pointing out the dark irony that the Detroit Tigers had a historic 15.5-game division lead collapse but still made the playoffs with 87 wins, while the Mets, despite their massive payroll, talent, and far lesser collapse, are sitting at home. They praised David Stearns' self-aware plan to fix the Mets' poor defense, even suggesting major moves like making Pete Alonso a primary DH or trading Lindor or Nimmo to upgrade the roster. The discussion then turned to the Jets, with a caller arguing the team has "no horses" (talent), a point BT fiercely debated. Finally, they covered the Yankees' playoff lineup, debating the controversial decision to bench Ben Rice against a tough lefty, despite his "elite offensive player" potential, due to defensive concerns at first base and catcher.

David Stearns has met the media and we react to an off season awaiting the Mets

The show was dominated by the Mets' season-ending collapse, with Boomer and Gio ripping the players, Carlos Mendoza's excuses, and David Stearns' moves while Soto called the year a failure and Alonso eyed the exit. The Yankees closed strong with a sweep, Ben Rice homers, and Aaron Judge winning the batting title, while Cohen's spending still left Mets fans embarrassed as Yankees fans laughed last. On the football side, Jaxson Dart's toughness lifted the Giants over the Chargers, Brian Daboll praised the win, and Malik Nabers' injury loomed large, while the Cowboys and Packers tied 40–40 and Sauce Gardner said the Jets are ready for Miami. The Ryder Cup brought ugly heckling Gio called a disaster, and the show wrapped with Bad Bunny being named Super Bowl halftime headliner — plus Dart's mom stealing Moment of the Day.

The Mets limped through a three-month collapse that Gio called ‘death by a thousand cuts.' Deadline moves flopped, and fans are ripping David Stearns for signing the wrong guys and letting others walk.

The Mets limped to the finish, shut out in Miami after a three-month collapse Gio called ‘death by a thousand cuts.' Fans ripped David Stearns, Soto called the season a failure, and Alonso is eyeing the exit. Meanwhile, Jaxson Dart's grit carried the Giants past the Chargers, with Daboll praising his toughness as the cameras kept finding his mom in the stands.

In this segment, BT and Sal dive into the Mets' recent failures, with a caller and the hosts expressing frustration at the team's ongoing collapse. They discuss the ineffectiveness of general manager David Stearns, highlighting his questionable roster moves and trades that have not helped the team. The conversation also touches on manager Carlos Mendoza's bullpen decisions and a lack of accountability within the organization, which listeners and the hosts believe are leading to predictable, maddening losses. The discussion is framed around the Mets failing their fans, who feel the team is repeating the same mistakes year after year.

Sal and BT argue about the Mets' recent struggles after a frustrating loss to the Phillies, with Sal maintaining that the team will still make the playoffs, while BT and other callers are less optimistic. A central part of the fiery debate is whether manager Carlos Mendoza is the right person for the job. Callers and BT point to questionable in-game decisions, like an ill-advised pinch-hitting move, as evidence that Mendoza is not an elite manager who can elevate a team. Sal, while admitting Mendoza has had a down year, believes the blame lies more with the inconsistent and underperforming players, as well as the lackluster trade deadline acquisitions by David Stearns.

Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns discusses the decision to promote Jonah Tong to the big leagues, the development of both Tong and Nolan McLean which has led to their promotions, where he feels the farm system is today in the wake of being named the #1 system by ESPN, and the buzz surrounding the Mets young prospects.

BT & Sal tell us about their epic golf game with the legendary Mike Francesa and Mike calls in to defend himself after BT makes certain claims. David Stearns is to blame for the Mets are sinking and the Yankees need to prove they can beat good teams

Sal says the Mets mess is at the feet of David Stearns and the the Yankees have to shake the fraud allegations

The reason the Mets waited so long to call up Nolan McLean wasn't about saving a year of team control or being cheap, as many have speculated. It was a calculated move by David Stearns to secure a potential extra first-round draft pick. Under the new CBA, a top-100 prospect who qualifies as a rookie and wins Rookie of the Year or finishes in the top three for MVP or Cy Young can earn their team a compensatory pick. By delaying McLean's call-up until he had only 44 days of service time, the Mets ensured he would still qualify for rookie status in a future season, giving the organization a shot at this valuable incentive. While some argue that waiting for a draft pick is a "crock" and that the team should have prioritized winning now, it's clear this strategic decision was all about building for the long-term future.

In the final segment of the hour, Gio and Jerry wonder if Pete's home run ball will stay in the Mets Hall of Fame at Citi Field or at his home. A caller wants Jeremy Hefner fired.
