Description: In an emotional segment featuring a call from a loyal listener and former colleague Pat Boyle, BT and Sal address the inevitable question: Will listeners really miss and follow the show after their final broadcast? Sal expresses skepticism, believing "nobody's going to care in two weeks," but Tierney pushes back, passionately arguing that their "genuine" and "authentic" passion—which he likens to a "Clubber Lang" intensity versus Sal's "Rocky" scrappiness—will guarantee a following. Sal reflects on his journey and the emotional full circle of achieving his dream at WFAN, stating he has now "maxed out" and it's time to pursue a "new dream." The hosts also acknowledge a listener who will not miss the endless Pete Alonso speculation, signaling a final farewell to their most controversial topic.
