Why Am I the Odd Man Out? Sal Demands Answers from A-Rod!

Sal vents his fiery frustration over his lack of a texting relationship with Alex Rodriguez, feeling personally snubbed that A-Rod only reaches out to his co-host Brandon Tierney and his podcast partner, Jimmy Traina. He humorously questions what he needs to do to get A-Rod's attention—rip him or kiss up to him—and wonders if A-Rod even likes him. Tierney provides context, explaining that A-Rod expressed a genuine fondness for Sal but may simply be "Alex" (sincere and normal) with them, rather than "A-Rod" (the guarded public figure). The conversation touches on A-Rod's past, his infamous lie to Mike Francesa on The Fan, and Sal's forgotten bond with A-Rod over being an '86 Mets fan and coincidentally attending the same movie screening.
