We continue talking about this garbage season for the Mets and trying to figure out what is really going on here.

Jerry's first update brought to you in its entirety starts with Howie Rose on the call as Alonso homers. We also heard Pete coming out for his curtain call. Sean Manaea loves Pete but doesn’t like fans having that reaction for an opposing player. The Orioles also hit an inside the park HR. The Yankees beat the Twins again as Spencer Jones hit a 3-run HR. We heard Arch Manning reacting to the A.I. video of Steve Sarkisian slapping Holly Rowe.

Alonso got his curtain call while financially the Mets may be the worst team in sports history.

Today's show breaks down the NFL and MLB action, starting with Pete Alonso's return to Citi Field and Aaron Judge powering up as the Yankees lock in a playoff berth. We react to the Chiefs running all over the Broncos, evaluate strong Week 1 ground attacks from the Giants and Jets, and address the wild report of Drew Brees nearly un-retiring for Denver. Plus, we look ahead to Giants vs. Rams and hear key postgame takes from John and Jim Harbaugh.

Pete Alonso returned to Citi Field where fans cheered so hard they booed their own pitcher for walking him, while Aaron Judge homered in a rainy, sparse Minnesota crowd. Jerry delivered his first update featuring Howie Rose's call of Alonso's standing ovation alongside loud "Fire Stearns" chants from the crowd. Judge spoke with Suzyn after hitting his first homer off the IL, the Chiefs ran all over Bo Nix and the Broncos, Aaron Glenn praised traveling Jets fans in Tennessee, and John Harbaugh credited Cam Skattebo for setting the tone. Finally, Gio played "Who Said This?" with Boomer about Matthew Schaefer living with Matt Martin's family, prompting AL to tell him to get an apartment.

We compare the Giants and Jets' ground success to the Chiefs' win, analyze Adam Schefter's report on Drew Brees nearly un-retiring for the Broncos' AFC Championship game, and review Mike Florio's explanation of why that couldn't happen. Next, we address Malik Nabers feeling unsure despite medical clearance, leading into Jerry's update featuring Ben Rice’s tie-breaker, an Aaron Judge homer, and Howie Rose calling near-miss foul balls for Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso. We round out the hour with sounds from the Chiefs beating the Broncos, Aaron Glenn evaluating Geno’s Sunday performance, John Harbaugh on tackling Nabers, and a final look at Mets fans cheering Pete Alonso at the expense of booing their own pitcher.

The Mets' developmental player of the year is so good-looking fans think he's AI-generated, Randy Johnson's video on buying glasses racked up 9 million views, and a caller inquired about the Mr. Irrelevant movie trailer. Jerry's update highlights Howie Rose on Mets fans wanting Pete Alonso to hit a homer against them, Tong addressing the fans cheering for Pete, and Pete Hoffman visiting WFAN Daily to break down Alonso, the Mets, and the Yankees clinching a playoff berth. To cap it off, we hear the Chiefs running all over the Broncos before closing the hour on George Carlin, one of Gio's childhood heroes.

Gio suspects Rami is wearing "Pardon My Take" merch to get recognized, we celebrate NFL Week 1 without having to talk about the Jets' 2027 draft, and we note technical glitches during Kickoff with Boomer & Valenti. Jerry’s final update features the Chiefs running over the Broncos, John Harbaugh on Jaxson Dart, Jim Harbaugh’s preseason regrets, and Dave Sims calling an Aaron Judge homer. The Moment of the Day delivers AL telling Matthew Schaefer to get an apartment, before we close by welcoming Yussef back from vacation and asking if the Giants can beat the Rams in L.A.

Jerry wraps up the morning with the sounds of the Chiefs running over the Broncos last night, John Harbaugh talking about Jaxson Dart’s performance. We heard Dave Sims on the call as Aaron Judge homered. The Moment of The Day: AL wants Matthew Schaefer to ‘get an apartment, dude’.
