Gio fears a bleak October for New York sports, while Jerry believes the Giants' strong defense can lead them to the playoffs. Gio dismisses Shedeur Sanders' preseason hype, but Jerry hopes he proves doubters wrong. A Jets fan is optimistic about the team's turnaround under Aaron Glenn. Gio expects neither the Mets nor Yankees to make the playoffs, while Jerry is confident the Yankees will and predicts a Giants Week 1 win over the Commanders. Gio is less optimistic about the Giants and Jets than Jerry. The guys also question a graphic error showing "MICHAEL PENIS JR" instead of Penix. C-Lo's update covers the Braves beating the Mets, Lindor's urgency, Mendoza sounding like Boone, Keith Hernandez's comments, Udonis Haslem's gaffe, the Mets losing Sal Licata, and Darryl Strawberry's reaction to Pete Alonso's "down goes Straw" HR ball. The Giants Jets preseason game is tomorrow, and Jerry has higher expectations for the Giants offense in 2025. Finally, they discuss the continued popularity of Stanley cups and crazy headlines, noting Boomer's generally good mood.

"Feel Good Friday" features "Surfside" talk, online WFAN caller beef, and Mets discussions (lack of an ace, Jay Horwitz's birthday, Francesa's prank calls, WFAN flubs). Gio and Jerry ponder social media's impact; Eddie shuns it. Updates from C-Lo; Gio asks Fliegs about Taylor Swift's new album. Gio recalls meeting Dua Lipa. Dan in Carteret fires back at John in Maspeth.

On a "Feel Good Friday," Gio and Jerry try to remain positive despite the Mets' disappointing season. WFAN night/overnight shows are now streaming live on YouTube, with good initial viewership. A caller's teenage son got a hole-in-one after only a few months of golfing, leading to talk about the "rowdy" Ryder Cup. C-Lo returns for an update after Jerry fails to get support from Gio and C-Lo. The Mets lost, and a fan accidentally hit the SAP button. Howie Rose commented on an LLWS video on X. The Yankees play in St. Louis tonight. A Brewers fan called 911 over a free burger promo. C-Lo plays old on-air pranks and mistakes, including one from Jerry's overnight days. Moment of the Day: Mike Francesa wishes Jay Horwitz a happy 80th on Twitter/X. Finally, Gio and Jerry compare the Giants' QB room to other NFL teams and Jerry is excited for the Mets' MLB Little League Classic.

A caller’s teenage son only began golfing a few months ago and already has his first hole-in-one. The guys talk about the upcoming Ryder Cup. Gio thinks it will be rowdy and has the potential to get nuts.

Mike Francesa wished Mets historian and media relations director Jay Horwitz a happy birthday. It leads to a conversation about classic prank calls to Mike and the rest of WFAN. We remember famous flubs in WFAN history.

A caller points out a beef between regular WFAN callers online and complains that the Mets don’t have an ace. One of the callers involved in the beef calls in to defend himself. Gio and Jerry discuss how social media has changed. Eddie has no interest in joining any social media platform.

A Jets fan is very excited for this season and thinks Aaron Glenn will turn the team around. The Jets can be a positive story even with a losing record. Gio does not think the Mets or Yankees will make the playoffs. Jerry says the Yankees will. He also thinks the Giants will beat the Commanders week 1. Gio is not nearly as optimistic about the Giants and Jets as Jerry is.

Gio is trying to not spiral along with the state of New York sports but is worried we could be headed for a dark October. Jerry thinks the team that will save us is the Giants. He thinks their defense can be great and strong enough to carry the team to playoff contention.

Gio thinks Cedric Mullins took a bad route to a ball last night and that the run shouldn’t have scored. Jerry thinks trading for Mullins to replace Tyrone Taylor was a mistake. Carlos Mendoza doesn’t know what to say. Gio emphasizes that the team is sloppy.

If the Mets miss the playoffs it will be one of the most disappointing seasons, and maybe the most disappointing, in their history. Losing is contagious and the Mets feel like they have some sort of loser virus infecting the team. The season is turning into a nightmare.
