Legendary comedian Jay Leno joins BT & Sal for a fiery, in-depth conversation on his career and the changing landscape of late-night television. Leno critiques the current state of late night—too many commercials, too much political fighting—and reveals the never-before-heard truth about the Conan O'Brien/NBC debacle, stating the network's incompetence and infighting drove the wedge. Leno shares priceless stories from his career, including his years-long prank war with David Letterman involving a meatball sandwich, and the unforgettable difference between President Obama arriving to the show in a rental car versus a satellite-proof tent.

BT & Sal step into the studio with UFC Middleweight star Bo Nickal ahead of his main prelim event at UFC 322 at Madison Square Garden. Nickal, an elite wrestling champion, talks about navigating the nerve-wracking emotions of fight night and how he's using his first-ever career loss as "massive motivation" for his upcoming bout. The conversation ignites when they discuss the low-key feeling of being a fighter who could "disable" anyone on the street, the debate over UFC vs. Boxing (Bo calls MMA a "complete sport"), and his thoughts on the constant temptation to fix a fight in the sport. Plus, Nickal opens up about his relationships with Kyler Murray and the late Hulk Hogan, and a surprising reveal about a potential UFC event at the White House after speaking with President Trump. Sal is so sold, he declares he's "hammering" a bet on Nickal's comeback!

BT & Sal dissect David Stearns' recent comments on the Mets' offseason, debating whether the GM has the appetite—or the checkbook—to execute the massive overhaul the team needs. Sal outlines a fiery, aggressive ultimatum for Pete Alonso's agent, Scott Boras, proposing a "$180 million, take-it-or-leave-it" deal to prevent the slugger from holding up the entire offseason. The hosts agree that simply bringing back Alonso and Diaz and adding a single pitcher is "not enough," arguing that the team's core DNA must change. Tierney demands a minimum of two high-end starters plus a major position player acquisition (like Bellinger or Bregman) to make the offseason a success. They also clash over Alonso's value, with Sal focusing on his lack of production when the power isn't there, and Tierney arguing his home run numbers are irreplaceable in a lineup already lacking offensive threats.

Boomer and Gio dive into Aaron Glenn’s latest clash with reporters, calling out the Jets defensive coordinator for being combative and defensive despite his team’s struggles. Gio says you can’t bark at the media when you’re not winning, and warns that reporters will start rooting against you. The guys talk about how Glenn’s behavior has crossed the line from confident to confrontational, and how the tension between coaches and beat writers is boiling over in New York.

Boomer and Gio react to Ian O’Connor’s report that Joe Schoen’s job as Giants GM isn’t safe beyond this season, raising questions about ownership’s trust and the team’s direction after firing Brian Daboll. The guys debate how Schoen could go from “rebuilding hero” to “on the hot seat” so quickly. Then they pivot to the NBA, where the Mavericks fired GM Nico Harrison after his handling of Luka Doncic backfired. Boomer and Gio wonder if this could be a cautionary tale for the Giants — when star players and front offices clash, someone always pays the price.

BT & Sal are joined by NFL Insider Brian Baldinger, who immediately sets the Giants debate on fire by placing the blame for Jaxson Dart's injuries squarely on recently fired head coach Brian Daboll. Baldinger argues that Daboll's play-calling, specifically the reckless use of read-option plays and poor blocking assignments, physically endangered Dart—a pattern he believes also "ruined" Daniel Jones. The conversation pivots to the Giants' future, with Baldinger critiquing the organization's current structure compared to winning franchises like the Rams and Eagles. He offers a list of fiery coaching candidates, including Lane Kiffin (who he believes would maximize Dart's potential) and Bill Belichick (but NOT as GM), while questioning the merit of another failed coach.

BT, Sal, and Hoff unleash "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth," testing the hottest takes in New York sports and beyond! The trio goes head-to-head on the Mets' looming free agency: Will Edwin Diaz be back in 2026, or will the Dodgers steal him? They clash over baseball insider Jeff Passan's predictions, debating if Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger could be teammates and if the Yankees can afford to lose Bellinger. Finally, a fiery NFL/NHL crossover question: will the Rangers' home win total in November surpass the combined home wins of the Jets and Giants? The segment closes with a serious discussion about the influence of John Mara's health and family loyalty on the Giants' front office decisions.

BT & Sal are infuriated by the Giants' "ass-backwards" decision to fire head coach Brian Daboll while retaining GM Joe Schoen and allowing him to lead the search for a new coach. Sal argues that the Giants' failure to clean house is a continuation of decades of "ineptitude." Tierney is "genuinely stunned," questioning why any "battle-tested adult" coach with a winning resume would hitch their wagon to a GM "hanging by a thread" and pointing out that Schoen's roster depth is "pathetic." The hosts dissect the stunning quote in the press release that they feel Schoen "assembled a good young nucleus," given his track record of major busts like Evan Neal. They conclude that by splitting the ticket, the Giants chose the absolute "worst option," dooming the franchise to more losing.

Boomer & Gio wonder how Daniel Jones really feels about Brian Daboll’s firing. Gio thinks Jones might be quietly celebrating after a rocky relationship with his now-former head coach.

Boomer & Gio react to the stunning move by the Giants to fire Brian Daboll while keeping GM Joe Schoen.

BT & Sal react to the breaking news that Brian Daboll has been fired as the New York Giants head coach, effective immediately, with Mike Kafka named the interim. The hosts agree it was the "humane thing to do" after another fourth-quarter collapse and a disastrous season, arguing that his record—not bad luck—is the reason. The fiery discussion quickly pivots to the next logical steps, demanding that defensive coordinator Shane Bowen be fired immediately, calling his continued employment "patently offensive." They also debate General Manager Joe Schoen's future, with Sal stating "He'll be next" but expressing concern over ownership's commitment to a full clean-house approach. The segment covers the immediate optics of the firing and what the Giants need to do for a true, long-term rebuild.

BT & Sal tackle the "predictable" concussion suffered by Giants QB Jaxson Dart, arguing that his physically punishing style and the team's over-reliance on designed runs (RPOs) is an "abuse" that is "not sustainable" in the NFL. They debate whether the Giants can or should "reel in" his play, acknowledging his dual-threat ability makes him a future star, but also his long-term health is "hanging by a thread." The discussion heats up as they slam the inexcusable breakdown in concussion protocol, questioning how Dart was allowed back on the field after a vicious hit where his head smashed the turf. They demand accountability, arguing that "somebody messed something up, seriously."

BT & Sal emphatically declare that it is "painfully obvious" the Brian Daboll era is over and that the Giants must fire him today for the good of the franchise. The hosts slam the team for repeatedly blowing big fourth-quarter leads (like the latest loss in Chicago) and accuse Daboll of having a "losing mentality." They highlight his conservative, "scared" decision-making, specifically critiquing the choice to kick a field goal from the 1-yard line while up 20-10, arguing that it's a "loser move" in the modern NFL. Sal insists Daboll's presence is now doing "more harm than good," creating a toxic environment where players are focused on "not collapsing" rather than winning. The discussion also touches on the significant injury suffered by QB Jaxson Dart and its impact on the team.

Boomer and Gio react to the bizarre story of Steve Cohen auctioning off his $10 million gold toilet and how it perfectly sums up the Mets’ season before diving into Major League Baseball’s growing gambling scandal.

The Jets somehow pull out a win despite Justin Fields throwing for just 54 yards thanks to special teams heroics and a dominant defensive effort.

BT & Sal are joined by former New York Rangers legend Henrik Lundqvist and Dr. Jonathan Salik to raise urgent awareness about Recurrent Pericarditis (RP), a chronic and often misdiagnosed heart disease. Lundqvist details how RP forced his retirement following open-heart surgery, calling the condition a major "life disrupted." The King also weighs in on the current Rangers squad, addressing their embarrassing zero-goal start at home and reflecting on the frustration of his own career, where he often carried deficient offensive teams. The hosts conclude by placing Lundqvist on New York's "Mount Rushmore of Heartbreak," alongside greats like Patrick Ewing and Don Mattingly—legends revered for their greatness but lacking a championship ring.

BT & Sal dive into the "DH or Done" dilemma surrounding Pete Alonso's free agency, arguing that the Mets cannot let the star first baseman hold their crucial offseason hostage. Sal insists the Mets must offer Alonso a "perfect" deal—a long-term contract (he suggests 5 years, $150M) only if he agrees to transition immediately to a Designated Hitter role to improve the team's defense. Tierney agrees he needs to be an affordable DH, but suspects Alonso's pride in playing first base will lead him to walk away for less money elsewhere. They both conclude that if Alonso and his agent, Scott Boras, drag the process out or refuse the DH mandate, the Mets must move on immediately to aggressively build a World Series-caliber roster To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

BT & Sal are stunned as breaking news hits the air: The New York Jets have traded star cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts for a massive haul, including two first-round draft picks! The hosts are immediately joined by NFL Insider Brian Baldinger to break down the blockbuster deal. BT views it as a "bold" and needed move that shows the new front office has a "clue" and direction, while Baldi discusses Gardner's perceived overrated play and lack of recent turnovers. The trio debates the implications for the Jets' full rebuild, questioning if players like Breece Hall are now on the trade block and if the move will finally "expedite the process" of changing the franchise's losing culture. They also briefly touch on the Giants' "embarrassing" defensive performance against the 49ers.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery critique of the Giants' leadership, reacting to reports that ownership might split the ticket and keep either Brian Daboll or Joe Schoen. The hosts vehemently argue that both have failed and deserve to be fired, calling a split decision an "epic disaster." Sal makes the case that if he had to keep one, it would be Daboll due to his work in developing quarterback Jaxson Dart, but questions why Schoen is reportedly favored by ownership despite the team's disastrous record, especially against NFC East rivals. The debate escalates as they discuss the danger of letting Schoen make trade deadline moves and demand that ownership make a decisive move now to start a true culture reset.

BT & Sal declare the Schoen and Daboll era is unequivocally over after the Giants' latest pathetic loss at home to the depleted 49ers. Despite Jaxson Dart's strong performance, the team is now 2-7 for the third straight year, proving the regime's failure goes far beyond the quarterback position. The hosts blast the horrific play calling, abysmal defensive effort (especially stopping the run), and the disengaged players who are reportedly quitting on plays—a sign of a broken culture. They argue that the marriage of Dart and Daboll is not worth saving, demanding the firing of both Shane and Daboll immediately before they "run Dart into the ground" out of desperation. The conversation concludes with a list of the franchise's failings: they don't draft well, don't develop well, and don't coach well.

BT & Sal launch a blistering attack on the Mets and Yankees, arguing that despite their immense wealth, neither team is truly committed to going "all-in" like the Los Angeles Dodgers. They dissect how New York has consistently lost out on premier superstars, from Freddie Freeman to Ohtani and Yamamoto, and how they often settle for a "nice plan B" instead of adding talent on top of talent. The hosts demand both teams flex their financial muscle this offseason for names like Skubal and Kyle Tucker, declaring that competing with the Dodgers requires a mentality of zero restrictions. Sal and BT debate the risk of trading top pitching prospects like McClain and Schlittler to achieve immediate World Series contention, emphasizing that anything less than total commitment is unacceptable for New York.
