Howard Stern believes sportscasters should normalize saying "penis" on air. In basketball, Kyrie Irving defended Karl-Anthony Towns from criticism as the Pacers surprisingly took a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals. Evan and Tiki debated the Knicks' situation, while the Yankees beat the Royals with a 5-run inning and an Aaron Judge homer. Marcus Stroman made a rehab start, and the Mets shut out the Nationals thanks to two Brandon Nimmo home runs and a complete game from David Peterson, though Pete Alonso getting hit angered Ron Darling. Finally, Mike Tannenbaum predicted Aaron Rodgers would be irrelevant by Thanksgiving, and Rodgers recently got married privately.

Hour 1 The Mets and Yankees are on a roll, with David Peterson throwing a complete game for the Mets. Meanwhile, the Knicks' coaching search continues to flounder, with rejections from candidates like Jason Kidd and public criticism from Charles Barkley. Elsewhere, the U.S. Open starts today, the Pacers took a 2-1 series lead over the Thunder, and an anonymous player poll named Juan Soto the hitter pitchers least want to face in a World Series Game 7.

In the "Bald Faced Lie, Bald Faced Truth" segment, hosts BT and Sal debate three bold sports statements presented by producer Hoff. First, they split on whether Russell Wilson will start the most QB games in New York this season, with BT calling it a lie (favoring Justin Fields) and Sal declaring it a truth (citing Fields' injury risk). Next, both BT and Sal agree it's a lie that the Knicks will trade for a top player before hiring a new head coach, asserting the coaching decision (likely Jason Kidd) will come first. Finally, they diverge on whether Juan Soto will hit more home runs as a Met than Pete Alonso, with BT calling it a lie (believing Alonso will remain and out-homer him) and Sal deeming it a truth (due to Soto's potential longevity and the impact of future lockouts).

BT and Sal intensely debate the significance of individual player records versus team success in baseball, particularly sparked by Pete Alonso's pursuit of the Mets' all-time home run record, with Sal favoring historical milestones and BT prioritizing championships due to the Mets' past futility. The discussion also shifts to a humorous and insightful segment with Metta World Peace (formerly Ron Artest), who candidly discusses his Queensbridge roots, past struggles, and strong desire to coach the New York Knicks, offering a unique perspective on professional sports contracts, team dynamics, and personal growth.

BT and Sal debate the significance of individual player records versus team success in baseball, sparked by Pete Alonso's pursuit of the Mets' all-time home run record. Sal champions individual milestones and historical records, referencing iconic feats like Joe DiMaggio's hit streak and George Brett's pursuit of .400. In contrast, BT prioritizes team championships and views many individual Mets records, including Alonso's, as less significant due to the franchise's historical futility and the "watered-down" nature of some modern baseball statistics. The discussion delves into the Mets' all-time home run list, revealing their low standing among MLB franchises, and touches upon player contracts and the long-term prospects of current Mets stars like Alonso, Lindor, and Soto.

Kicking off with a humorous discussion about Metta World Peace (formerly Ron Artest) and his multiple name changes, along with his surprising desire to coach the Knicks. The conversation then shifts to a major Mets debate surrounding Pete Alonso's future, weighing the emotional pull of fan favoritism and his current stellar performance against potential contract demands and the team's willingness to let him walk. They also touch on the possibility of Juan Soto's influence on Alonso's retention and speculate on potential Knicks coaching hires and player trades, including the surprising idea of Kevin Durant heading to the Spurs, all while anticipating a potential future baseball lockout.

BT & Sal debate the significance of individual accolades in baseball, particularly for Aaron Judge and Pete Alonso, contrasting historical records with the pursuit of a World Series ring. A significant portion of the conversation features former NBA star Metta World Peace (formerly Ron Artest), who expresses his strong desire to coach the New York Knicks and defends his qualifications and experience despite past controversies and name changes. The discussion highlights the nuances of player contracts, team dynamics, and the evolving nature of professional sports.

The discussion revolves around the Mets' all-time home run leader, Darryl Strawberry (252 HRs), and Pete Alonso's pursuit of that record (currently at 243 HRs). The speakers highlight that the Mets' franchise home run record is surprisingly low compared to other, even more recently established MLB teams, placing them among the bottom three to seven teams in baseball history for this particular statistic. They also delve into historical team home run leaders across the league, noting legendary sluggers like Hank Aaron (Braves, 733 HRs) and Babe Ruth (Yankees, 659 HRs) and debating whether current Mets players like Alonso, Francisco Lindor, and Juan Soto could eventually surpass Strawberry's relatively modest team record, suggesting it reflects the Mets' historical lack of consistent power hitting.

Pat McCarthy caught up with the Mets first baseman after New York's walk off win on Tuesday night. Pete tied the game in the 8th inning on a two-out RBI single.

Boomer and Gio's planned boat day was thwarted by bad weather, leading them to consider golf instead. A caller deemed Derek Jeter the most "boring" athlete to interview. Before Jerry's final update, Boomer shared his new green drink from Chris Wragge's wife. Jerry then played audio of Jazz Chisholm's mic'd-up error. In sports, Aaron Judge hit two homers in a Yankees loss, while Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso each hit two as the Mets swept the Rockies. The Giants' defensive coordinator wants his players to emulate pirates for turnovers, and the Thunder evened their series with the Pacers. The show concluded with a caller's story about a woman with E. coli in her sinuses and a discussion of potential Knicks coaching candidates.

Jerry had the sounds of the Yankees losing to the Red Sox, as the Sox hit 5 HRs. Aaron Judge did hit 2 HRs in the loss. The Mets swept the Rockies in Colorado. Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso each hit 2 HRs. OKC evened their series with Indiana 1-1.

Bad Weather Fans' post about no new "Roommates" podcast sparked Gio's observation that no Knicks players or management have commented on Thibs' firing. This silence, he reasoned, allows for rampant speculation, aligning with the Knicks' history of firing coaches still under contract. Jerry then updated the sports news: Boston hit five homers to beat the Yankees, despite two from Aaron Judge; Pete Alonso's two home runs helped the Mets sweep the Rockies, pushing him past David Wright on the Mets' all-time list; and the Thunder evened their series with the Pacers at 1-1. The hour concluded with more discussion about American hamburger consumption and the theory that James Dolan fired Thibs after sitting in on player interviews.

Pete Alonso, now second on the Mets' all-time home run list, is only under contract for the current season. Listeners speculated the Knicks' success might be due to James Dolan's focus on The Sphere, while others called in about the Mets' strong start. Boomer, and several callers, questioned the seemingly endless supply of cows and chickens for food. Jerry then reported on the Yankees' loss to the Red Sox, despite two homers from Aaron Judge, and the Mets' sweep of the Rockies, featuring two home runs each from Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil. The segment concluded with discussions about Aaron Rodgers seemingly being the Steelers' third-choice and Jaxson Dart's slim chances of playing this year, alongside more calls about American burger consumption.

Boomer's flight to Cincinnati for a Kenny Anderson event was canceled due to a lightning strike, preventing him from attending. Meanwhile, the Knicks' coaching search continues, with Jason Kidd and Michael Malone being considered. The recent developments suggest James Dolan's decision to fire Thibs was impulsive. In sports news, the Red Sox defeated the Yankees with five home runs, despite two from Aaron Judge, and swept the series. The Yankees' X (Twitter) account used a Brandon Tierney song without credit. The Mets swept the Rockies, with two homers each from Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil; Alonso surpassed David Wright on the Mets' all-time home run list, earning Wright's congratulations. Finally, the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry made headlines when rookie pitcher Hunter Dobbins stated he'd retire rather than play for the Yankees. This prompted Boomer to recall his own refusal to play for the Colts after their move from Baltimore due to its impact on his college community in Maryland.

You're tuned into the "Call of the Day" with Brendan Tierney and Sal Licata! On today's show, presented by Boost Mobile, BT faced a heated caller accusing him of stealing a signature Yankees home run call. The guys also dove into the Mets' Pete Alonso and his surprising MVP odds, debating if his stellar season truly makes him worthy of a record-breaking contract. Plus, hear their take on rising Mets prospect Ronny Mauricio – is he the real deal? Tune in to hear all the takes and the hilarious fallout from a dug-up clip that had BT squirming!

Pete Alonso's phenomenal season has sparked a debate about its sustainability and his future with the Mets. With Juan Soto's arrival seemingly boosting his performance, and comparisons being drawn to legendary Mets hitters, the team finds itself at a pivotal moment. The discussion extends beyond Alonso, as the podcast explores whether the current trio of Alonso, Soto, and Lindor could be the greatest offensive core in Mets history, hinting at a potentially historic run for the franchise.

BT and Sal dive deep into the Knicks' coaching carousel, questioning who truly pulled the trigger on Thibodeau's firing and if there's a "crack in the foundation" of the organization. They also weigh in on Pete Alonso's MVP potential, the enduring Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, and dissect the Mets' surprising season and the Yankees' bullpen strength, all while exploring other pressing New York sports topics.

Today's 13-5 Mets win was a team effort, but Alonso made history with his 242nd and 243rd career homers. Hear Pete's reaction to passing David Wright for 2nd place in franchise history.

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Pete Alonso's performance since they marveled at his hot start, the return of Craig Kimbrel, Max Muncy's tale of two seasons, how hitters fare after LASIK, the Mets' “secret sauce” against Shohei Ohtani, whether the Dodgers' injury woes will hurt their capacity to recruit pitchers, Brandon Pfaadt's “yes […]

Hour 4: Tommy's Cinco on big Knicks moves in the offseason, the boys try to decipher Pete Alonso on Mookie Betts' podcast and a hysterical call on Aaron Judge breaking Dodger Stadium.

4x All-Star Pete Alonso sits down with 3x World Series champion Mookie Betts to discuss the story behind Mookie's toe injury, the Mets' wild offseason and their new 'Big 3,' and what he thinks makes Juan Soto so special. They also discuss the wild story behind New York's 2024 turnaround and playoff push, the origin of his 'Polar Bear' nickname, if he thinks about breaking the Mets' home run record, why he's had so much success in the Home Run Derby, and why he wanted to re-sign with the Mets last offseason.

Michelle Beadle was replaced by Stephen A. Smith with little notice, and the Oilers took Game 1 against the Panthers in overtime. Hour 2 The Knicks' coaching situation continues to dominate discussion, with Rick Pitino advising Karl-Anthony Towns to reduce his body fat. Callers drew parallels to the Yankees' successful transition from Buck Showalter to Joe Torre, hoping for a similar outcome for the Knicks. In other sports, the Mets defeated the Dodgers with Pete Alonso hitting two home runs, while the Yankees were shut out by the Guardians. Rick Pitino also weighed in on Aaron Judge, calling him a "Babe Ruth type player," and expressed shock at the Thibs firing, a sentiment echoed by Adam Schein and Chris Russo—the latter misnaming Leon Rose as "Leon Hess." The Oilers won Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Off the field, comedian Jeff Garlin reportedly refused to perform at an event due to an $800 cash dispute. Finally, a caller suggested Juan Soto's improved performance is simply due to him enjoying the game, rather than a Mets/Yankees rivalry. Hour 3 Michael Rubin, CEO of Fanatics, joined the show to discuss Fanatics Fest happening later this month at the Javits Center. In sports updates, the Mets beat the Dodgers with Juan Soto walking three times and Pete Alonso hitting two homers, while Griffin Canning had another strong start. The Yankees were shut out by Cleveland. We heard an uncomfortable clip of Dave Portnoy yelling at Kirk Minihane, and Michelle Beadle reacted to being replaced by Stephen A. Smith on their SiriusXM show. The Oilers won Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals in overtime. Off the field, Wayne Gretzky was trying to understand Chappell Roan's "Pink Pony Club." Finally, the discussion turned to MLB's new rule allowing two ball/strike challenges per team starting next season, with concern that it might slow down games after successful efforts to speed them up. Hour 4 The show discussed the Fanatics Fest event, where everyday individuals can compete against professional athletes, detailing the various challenges. Saquon Barkley made headlines with a surprising comment about a potential sudden retirement. Jerry's final update covered the Mets beating the Dodgers behind two Pete Alonso home runs, and the Yankees being shut out by Cleveland. Rick Carlisle thought the Knicks' Thibs firing as a "fake A-I story," leading to a humorous debate about whether Stephen A. Smith or Chris Russo would prefer to be President or Head Coach of the Knicks. The Oilers defeated the Panthers in overtime to win Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The "Moment of The Day" involved Gio mispronouncing "unkillable" as "unlikeable" when referring to BT's podcast. The show concluded with a discussion of the NBA's reaction to the Thibs firing.
