Sal and BT furiously dissected the New York Mets' most embarrassing season ever, a historic collapse that saw the $400 million team miss the expanded postseason. The discussion was fueled by owner Steve Cohen's immediate public apology to fans and star Pete Alonso's post-game announcement that he will opt out, signaling a potential tear-down of the core, including possible trades for Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo. This baseball disaster overshadowed the Giants' massive win over the Chargers and the exciting debut of rookie QB Jaxson Dart, with the celebratory mood immediately soured by the devastating news of Malik Nabers' season-ending ACL tear.

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.

The Mets' season ended in disaster, with Steve Cohen spending big but still playing little brother as Yankees fans got the last laugh. Mendoza took the blame while fans fumed, and even callers accused Boomer of slipping in Yankee jabs. Meanwhile, the Giants finally broke through against the Chargers, Jaxson Dart updated Malik Nabers' injury, and the Cowboys and Packers tied in a 40–40 shootout. The Yankees closed strong behind two homers from Ben Rice, while the Ryder Cup drew headlines for ugly heckling at Rory McIlroy.

Sal and BT dissected the Mets' disastrous season-ending collapse—a highly anticipated "car crash"—shortly after owner Steve Cohen tweeted an apology to fans, calling the result "unacceptable." The hosts debated whether Cohen's measured response was better than an irrational George Steinbrenner-style firing spree, ultimately agreeing that wholesale roster changes are needed. The conversation was interrupted by breaking news from Larry Fitzgerald, who joined the studio to confirm the worst fears for the Giants: rookie Malik Nabers has torn his ACL and is out for the season, adding to the day's misery for New York sports. The trio discussed the MetLife turf curse and the star receiver's tough road to recovery.

Sal and BT debated the Mets' disappointing season, concluding that while owner Steve Cohen has spent an unprecedented amount of money, he has not spent it wisely. The hosts argue that the team's problem isn't a lack of funds or even simple bad luck; it's poor decision-making and a failure to acquire the right kind of players—especially contrasting the team's expensive flops like Jesse Winker and Frankie Montas against the Yankees' cheap, high-production players. They stress that GM David Stearns must move beyond "bargain bin" mentality and combine the foundation of smart, defensive, high-character players he built in Milwaukee with the Mets' financial ability to bring in one or two superstar "studs" to finally achieve sustained success.

Sal and BT reacted to Steve Cohen's tweet apologizing to Mets fans for the "unacceptable" performance and promising a "postmortem" to figure out what went wrong. While Sal appreciated the accountability and what he considers to be everything a fan could ask for from an owner, BT felt the apology, though necessary, still felt raw and insufficient following a massive collapse. They debated whether the owner's tweet was genuine and a true sign of forthcoming change, or just a calculated piece of PR meant to appease the suffering fanbase, with both agreeing that the owner must now follow up his words with massive, impactful moves.

Sal and BT dissected the Mets' spectacular, season-ending collapse that saw the $340 million team miss the playoffs after having the best record in baseball through June 12th. Sal admitted that the pain was lessened by his resignation to the inevitable failure, but he still expressed a sense of disbelief and frustration that the team actually fulfilled the dire predictions of him and Hof. BT focused on the embarrassment this brings to owner Steve Cohen, speculating that even a measured owner must be furious, and both hosts agreed that wholesale changes to the roster are now necessary to truly fix the broken club, rather than just firing coaches as scapegoats.

The Lions beat the Ravens last night and some people had the Lions in trouble this year because they lost their offensive and defensive coordinators. But Dan Campbell kept saying it was about the players and he's looking right. Boomer said having Jared Goff at QB is a huge difference. The first few weeks have had better play this year than in previous years and Boomer said it's because guys played in the pre-season. The Vikings and Steelers are playing in Ireland this Sunday. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Lions beating the Ravens. We also heard from Dan Campbell after the game. Phil Simms was on with Kay Adams and said great things about Daniel Jones. Mike McDaniel talked about the upcoming game against Aaron Glenn and the Jets. Mike Francesa called the Jets ‘losers'. The Moment of The Day: A caller yells about Steve Cohen's minor leaguers. In the final segment of the show, WFAN producer Brian Rascona calls in as he's at Bethpage for the Ryder Cup.

We started the hour with the Mets situation and lots of callers seem to be angry at Steve Cohen, with one caller wanting the Wilpons back.

Jerry ran down some Giants injury news. Phil Simms was on with Kay Adams and said great things about Daniel Jones. Mike McDaniel talked about the upcoming game against Aaron Glenn and the Jets. Mike Francesa called the Jets ‘losers'. The Moment of The Day: A caller yells about Steve Cohen's minor leaguers.

We started the hour with the Mets situation and lots of callers seem to be angry at Steve Cohen, with one caller wanting the Wilpons back. A caller wondered if Gio was still thinking the Lions were going to have a bad season. Jerry returns for an update and starts with a Derrick Henry fumble as the Lions beat the Ravens. Aaron Glenn talked about the Jets defense having to get better. Boomer said Jets fans are mad Glenn is showing emotion and also mad when Rob Saleh didn't.

In the final segment of the hour, we heard a speech from an FDNY firefighter to the Ryder Cup team pumping them up. He went full America on them.

Hour 1 We started with the Giants quarterback situation and Boomer thinks they are going to announce Jaxson Dart will start this week against the Chargers. Boomer said it seems that Dart has a little ‘red ass in him'. I am going to google that to see what that means. The only way things get worse for the Giants is if they play Dart and he stinks. The Mets have their final 6 games of the season that will determine if they get into the playoffs. They have been horrible over August and September. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Lions beating the Ravens. Brian Daboll was asked if Russell Wilson would be the starter and he said they will do what they always do which is evaluate everything. Mike Francesa called the Jets ‘losers'.

Hour 3 Today may be the day the Giants make the announcement that Jaxson Dart is starting Sunday against the Chargers. We talked about quarterbacks that were really good as rookies, like CJ Stroud, and then things may not be the same the next season. Jayden Daniels already missed a start with an injury last week. Boomer talked about the importance of where players go. Tampa seems to be the perfect place for Baker Mayfield. Indianapolis seems to be the perfect place for Daniel Jones. A caller wonders why we think it will be better with Jaxson Dart. There's only one way to turn a dead team into one that's alive and that's a young quarterback. Gio wants to go to the Ryder Cup, but he said it seems like an absolute disaster to get in and out of there. A caller debates Gio on whether Juan Soto is a real ‘needle mover'.

BT & Sal vented about the Mets' recent struggles, with Sal passionately expressing his disgust for the team's "lifeless" and "unacceptable" play. They both agreed that the Mets' disastrous performance is a result of players not doing their jobs and a collective lack of effort, despite owner Steve Cohen's best efforts. They highlighted the stark contrast between this year's team and the "lovable" Mets from last year, noting that the current group has been infuriating and disappointing to watch, especially for a team with high expectations and a significant payroll. The hosts concluded that while the front office and manager share some blame, the ultimate culpability for the team's collapse lies with the players themselves.

Curator and archivist David Leopold rejoins the show for a wide-ranging talk centered on the amazing new HIRSCHFELD'S SONDHEIM: A Poster Book (Abrams ComicArts). We talk about David's decades as Hirschfeld's archivist, Sondheim's love of Hirschfeld's work, the process of making his first book of Hirschfeld's art that focuses on a single creator, the connections between Al & Sondheim in David's text pieces for the book, and the joy of getting an intro from Bernadette Peters. We get into the work that the Hirschfeld Foundation does for regional theaters, why the drop-off of arts criticism is a disaster for culture, how younger people experience and appreciate Hirschfeld's art, and the time David held a seance at the Algonquin to promote the Hirschfeld Broadway Tarot. We also discuss our all-time fave Prince songs, what it's like being an archivist in a post-object world, the Steve Cohen magic performance that blew his mind, his new exhibitions at the Studio of Ben Solowey, how the next generation of theater organists (!) is getting trained, how aware Sondheim and Hirschfeld were that they were making history in their lifetimes, and more.

After Pete Alonso officially became the Mets' all-time home run leader, BT and Sal got into a fiery debate about his future with the team. Sal believes that this historic moment, combined with Alonso's strong performance, makes it impossible for Steve Cohen to let him walk in free agency. BT, however, argued that it's a sentimental take that ignores the business side of baseball, citing Alonso's age and the team's past hesitation to sign him long-term. Both hosts agreed that the fans would revolt if the Mets let their homegrown home run king leave, but they couldn't agree on whether the team's front office will prioritize this emotional connection over cold, hard business logic.

Sal and BT debated the future of Pete Alonso following his record-breaking home run, with Sal arguing that the Mets have no choice but to sign him to a long-term deal. While acknowledging the financial and business arguments against a massive contract, Sal believes the fan sentiment and Alonso's consistent power production make him too valuable to let go. He emphasized that after breaking Darryl Strawberry's home run record and becoming a franchise icon, letting their homegrown hero walk would cause an unprecedented fan revolt that even owner Steve Cohen couldn't withstand.

Hour 3: What made Steve Cohen finally Tweet about the Mets again?

Sal and BT dove into the struggles of both New York teams, with Sal pushing back on any comparison between the Mets' current woes and the infamous 2007 collapse. He argued that the Mets, despite their slump, have the potential to recover and even challenge for the division title, a feat they shouldn't be expected to achieve at all. The conversation shifted to a fiery debate about accountability, where both hosts criticized the Yankees' management for being too quiet and not holding anyone accountable, contrasting it with Steve Cohen's benign yet public display of support for the Mets. The segment wrapped up with a "Bald Faced Truth, Bald Faced Lie" segment that included some pointed takes on Jeter's absence from Old Timers' Day and the potential for new talent to get a shot in the playoffs.

In their return to the airwaves, BT and Sal wasted no time in diagnosing the perpetual problems facing both New York teams. The Yankees' win, while welcomed, was dismissed as a "bald-faced lie" that does nothing to fix the team's underlying flaws, like relying on analytics over instinct and a manager who is a "puppet." Sal, ever the optimist, held out hope that the Mets, despite losing 11 of 12, are on the cusp of a turnaround, with an aggressive Steve Cohen ready to lead them out of their funk. The duo's reunion was punctuated by a fiery debate on the lack of accountability, the need for new voices in the front offices, and the core issues plaguing both franchises, all while acknowledging the joy of being back on air together.
