New York Knicks and Rangers owner James Dolan joins The Carton Show with Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle for a rare, wide-ranging, and candid interview—his first public sit-down in years. Dolan opens up about the controversial decision to move on from Tom Thibodeau, why collaboration and player development drove the coaching change, and why this Knicks roster is built to win an NBA championship now, not just compete. On the Rangers side, Dolan explains his patience with Chris Drury and Mike Sullivan, the culture reset in progress, and why fans shouldn’t give up despite early struggles.

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.

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.
