In the final hour of the show, Carton and Friends bring up how the Yankees could not get the job done last night against the White Sox, a team Corey and Carton can't see eye-to-eye on. Carton talks with a listener who tries to argue that JD Martinez's instagram posts did not mean to be anti-semitic or racist.

Carton and Friends open the second hour of the program with Carton feeling impressed with the barrel-chested Luke Voit. Carton believes now that Odell Beckham has been paid, it doesn't matter what he does on the sidelines, or in his personal life, but what matters is if the Giants are winning games. Talking about David Wright, Carton looks back at when he made a Vitamin Water commercial with Wright and Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino. Carton and Michelle argue over some business as to why the Carton and Friends pool party is not happening.

Carton and Friends, Corey and Michelle, explain that Odell Beckham Jr. got his $95 million contract because he proved to the Giants organization he is a mature professional, but now it's time for him to prove he is the best wide receiver in the NFL; Corey thinks Odell will get shut down by Jalen Ramsey in Week 1\. Corey tells Carton he doesn't want to make excuses for the Yankees losing, but also says the White Sox have been playing great baseball the last few weeks; Carton finds the loss unacceptable. Talking about his dislike for white athletes, Carton dislikes that the idea of not being racist means you are liberal, when it should not matter what your political affiliate may be. Carton's good friend, Mikey Nichols, joins the show to talk about his story of overcoming paralysis he suffered from playing hockey.

Carton and Friends open the final hour of the show talking about a boxing match Carton watched that ended in a "general draw," and nobody wins. Sticking to the fight game, the gang talks about the big UFC fight between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov, but also a story that Manny Pacquiao wants to come out of retirement to fight McGregor as well. Carton also gives Michelle, a big UFC fan and fight fan, a chance prove she can report on the UFC, and not just be a ring girl. Carton chats with long time listener Q, a big Baltimore Orioles fans, and questions if the Orioles will actually win 40 games. Carton and the gang finish the hour remembering the career of Eric Decker, who retired after being cut from the Patriots.

Carton and the gang open the second hour looking at the premier of "the green zone," which is the amount of yardage the offense needs to get on 3rd down; Carton, like most people, hates the idea. Carton questions Corey if after the Madden Tournament shooting, would he let his kids go to a gaming tournament; Corey answers by saying you can't lock your kids up forever, and it's up to him as a parent to teach his children about street smarts and personal responsibility. Carton brings up how thankful he is that Hawaii won the Little League World Series over South Korea, loving how the best baseball players are back in the United States. Carton also remembers the lives of John McCain and legendary playwright Neil Simon.

Carton and Friends, Corey and Michelle, open the program talking about the horror that unfolded when a disgruntled gamer shot up a Madden '19 game tournament in Jacksonville, killing 2 and himself; Corey questions the mental issues of these boys who shoot up places like schools and a video game tournament, while Carton fears that the gaming world has given introverted kids a safe haven to "be who they want to be," and also fears that everywhere you go there will be metal detectors. Moving on to baseball, Carton thinks it's interesting that while the big name Yankees are resting due to injuries, they have moved within 6 games of Boston, after the Red Sox got swept by the Rays. Carton tells long time listener Bob in Vermont that he appreciates his blog posts, but the job will stay with Producer Chris Bivona.

In the final hour of the show, Carton and Friends reveal the fantasy league settings, with Corey explaining how the top seeded teams will be most points and best record, respectively. Going back to the Urban Meyer suspension, Carton says many times people are using "mental relapse" or memory loss as an excuse when it comes to issues as severe as domestic assault. Carton and Corey also find it fishy that Meyer asked someone about deleting text messages from over a year ago. Michelle's social update includes a story about Victor Cruz, with Carton saying Cruz is the true New York athlete.
