The Unkillable Sign-Off: Brandon Tierney’s Final Stand at WFAN! | BT

In a deeply personal and raw final hour, Brandon Tierney delivers his ultimate sign-off from the legendary WFAN. The segment kicks off with a surprise call from BT’s biggest fan and toughest critic—his father—who takes listeners on a 25-year trip through BT’s career: from packing up for Allentown to the drive-time battles in San Francisco, and finally, his "dream fulfilled" return to New York. BT reflects on the "unrelenting drive" that defined his run, acknowledging that while his time in the midday slot is ending due to station shifts (the return of Craig Carton), he leaves with his head high and his competitive fire unquenched. He shares his pride in sharing studios with titans like Stephen A. Smith, calling Knicks games at the Garden, and building the "Unkillable" brand with co-host Sal Licata. It’s a tear-filled, high-energy goodbye to the city he loves, ending not with a whimper, but with a promise that the next chapter will be his biggest yet.

"Clinical Morons": Rick Pitino Slams Early FAN Callers! | BT

In a wide-ranging, high-octane interview, Hall of Famer Rick Pitino joins Brandon Tierney to discuss the state of St. John's basketball and his storied career. Pitino gets brutally honest about his current squad, admitting they lack the veteran dominance of last year's team and issuing a public challenge to Bryce Hopkins to become an "alpha dog" or risk his NBA dreams. The conversation turns fiery and nostalgic as Pitino recounts a "hysterical" story from the birth of WFAN, remembering how "clinical moron" callers wanted him fired while his Knicks were in first place. The Coach also settles New York's greatest debates, naming Pearl Washington and Kenny Anderson as the ultimate handles and Chris Mullin as the city’s premier marksman. To wrap it up, BT shares a legendary personal story of an all-night bar session with Pitino that felt like a scene straight out of The Godfather.

Beyond the Math: A-Rod Slams "Nerds" Taking Over the Yankee Dugout! | BT

In a massive, wide-ranging interview, Alex Rodriguez joins Brandon Tierney to deliver a masterclass on the current state of the game. A-Rod doesn't pull any punches, declaring the Yankees' organizational hitting philosophy "absolutely broken" and critiquing the development of Anthony Volpe, arguing the team is forcing a "little guy" to play a "big boy game" that neuters his best assets. The two discuss the ticking clock on Aaron Judge’s prime, the criteria for signing free agents like Cody Bellinger, and the "sad" takeover of data-driven analytics that has sidelined traditional baseball people. A-Rod also shares intimate reflections on his HBO documentary, the healing process of turning 50, and hilarious behind-the-scenes stories about David Ortiz and his relationship with the "2009 Homeboys." From Pete Alonso's exit from the Mets to his own refusal to manage in today's patient-less league, this is A-Rod at his most transparent and passionate.
