Hello everyone! We're going into #TheUpdate vault to play one of our many episodes throughout our many years of the show. For today's episode, we go into the world of 2020- or as we call it around here, Year 4 of The Update. It was a weird year- starting off in the WKRB studios and then going out on the road (in the middle of a pandemic no less!), but somehow, we found a way to make it work. Oh, and one last thing about this episode- after the show aired, one of my former producers who happened to be listening to the show called me up and invited me out to lunch. How about that?

Hello everyone! We're going into #TheUpdate vault to play one of our many episodes throughout our many years of the show.

In The Update Journal, it's Politics, Pennants, and Pumpkins. It’s a Monday packed with drama both political and personal. First, the race to City Hall takes a sharp detour as Mayor Adams suddenly exits the stage, shaking up what was already a crowded field. Then, the Mets’ season of promise ends in heartbreak, capping off one of the most disappointing collapses in team history. Over in the American League, the AL Central finishes in pure chaos, with the Guardians completing one of baseball’s most improbable comebacks. And finally — to lighten things up — what you didn’t see behind the camera on our Halloween prep was… well, let’s just say there were props, pumpkins, and one mad professor who forgot where he left the fog machine.

In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, we continue our coverage of The Road To City Hall. With just 36 days to go until the general election, we’re going to guarantee ourselves a new mayor. Mayor Adams ended his struggling reelection campaign, an acknowledgment that he was no longer a credible contender after a year of scandal and political turmoil. Also, we’ll talk about from recalling his “shorty” in Queens to making heart hands with a robot, some of Adams’ most ridiculous moments.

Thousands of runners retraced a fallen New York City firefighter’s desperate race to the twin towers Sunday to honor the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks – and raise over $1 million for survivors and their families.

And in Michigan, an ex-Marine smashed a pickup into a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church, opened fire and set the building ablaze during a crowded Sunday service and then was fatally shot by police. At least four people were killed and eight wounded, and authorities were searching the building ruins for more victims.

We're closing out the week inside The Update Journal. Former FBI Director James Comey’s now the one facing questions — and this time, he’s not the one asking them. We’ll break down the charges and the irony behind them. Then, in Episode 3 of the Mets Playoff Chase Diary, the Amazins’ season continues to hang by a thread — and that thread’s starting to fray. And in The Last Word, as the leaves fall and the air turns crisp, a reminder that change doesn’t have to be loud to be beautiful — though try telling that to a New Yorker with a leaf blower.

In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, The 13-year-old boy gunned down outside a Queens Dunkin’ Donuts this week was slain over a gang beef, police claimed— as they identified a fellow teenager as the suspected killer.

Grand Central Terminal experienced a brief blackout that left some MTA workers trapped in an elevator and thousands of others left to navigate the cavernous halls with the glow of their cellphones.

And in Washington, James Comey was charged with lying to Congress in a criminal case filed days after President Trump appeared to urge his attorney general to prosecute the former FBI director and other perceived political enemies.

There's a load of extras in The Update Journal. In Episode 2 of the Mets Playoff Diary, the Amazins crash back to Earth in a 10–3 loss to the Cubs, squandering a golden chance to pad their lead on the Reds. Meanwhile, over in the AL Central, the Guardians have pulled off the baseball equivalent of climbing Mount Everest in flip-flops—coming all the way back from 15 and a half games down to now hold a one-game lead on the Tigers with just four to play. Two collapses, two storylines, and enough comedy to make you wonder if anyone in baseball actually wants to win. Also, The eyes have it. Gen Z daters prefer their prospective partners look, don’t touch while flirting, per eye-popping new data.

In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, an off-duty NYPD officer shot a man who allegedly tried to rob her and her husband in Penn Station.

A woman visiting the Big Apple from Germany with her husband was killed and nearly decapitated when a hit-and-run minivan driver plowed into the couple in Midtown.

And in Texas, a shooter with a rifle opened fire from a nearby roof onto a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement location in Dallas, killing one detainee and wounding two others in a transport van before taking his own life, authorities said.

On this off day, catch up with some funny things inside The Update Journal.

We've done a lot of episodes throughout our many years of #TheUpdate, but some of them are my personal favorites. Every month, we're going to go into The Update vault and play one episode from my personal list of favorite episodes. I hope you enjoy them as much as i did hosting it.
