  Don’t Tell Us How to Be Mets Fans

  Aug 11, 202639 min

  Apparently, we pissed off Mets Instagram. After our Jefry Yan Reel sparked way more debate than we expected — including people questioning whether we're even Mets fans — Will, LeeJay and Erik jumped back on the microphones for an emergency rebuttal. LeeJay explains what he actually dislikes about Yan celebrating every strikeout. Erik, who has watched Yan pitch before and doesn't mind the antics nearly as much, explains why Mets fans should probably get used to it. Then the conversation becomes something much bigger: Who gets to decide what being a “real fan” looks like? We get into criticizing a team you've supported for decades, spending money on a bad product, the danger of late-season false hope, whether this Mets run could influence future roster decisions, and why fandom doesn't require wearing rose-colored glasses. Three Mets fans. Different opinions. Plenty of profanity. Welcome to the rebuttal. Send us Fan Mail

  110. Sophie Cunningham Debate, Mets' Celebration Culture & Anthony Volpe’s Fall

  Aug 10, 20262h 9m

  The Dummies are back with plenty to discuss. Will and LeeJay break down the controversy surrounding Sophie Cunningham and the WNBA, debate whether NFL teams are getting too soft—or too smart—in training camp, and wonder whether the Giants should be trying to change the way Jaxon Dart plays. Then it's baseball: Jefry Yan's celebrations already have Will and LeeJay yelling at the TV, the Mets may be creating some dangerous late-season false hope, and Anthony Volpe's fall from potential Yankees cornerstone to Triple-A raises a bigger question about how quickly New York fans crown—and abandon—young players. Plus: LeeJay goes to war with Greyhound, an alleged former NFL player's very public Florida adventure leaves the guys speechless, Will may be heading to a Mets speed-dating event, and the episode closes with a Mount Rushmore of great New York athletes who still aren't in their sport's Hall of Fame. Timestamps 00:47: Intro and fighting with Instagram commenters 10:36: LeeJay's Greyhound nightmare 24:47: Sophie Cunningham and the WNBA controversy 45:00: The bizarre Stedman Bailey story 55:04: Hard Knocks returns with the Seahawks 01:01:00: Old-school vs. analytical NFL training camps 01:05:59: Giants training camp and Jaxson Dart 01:14:52: Will applies for Mets speed dating 01:23:15: Jefry Yan's celebrations are already exhausting 01:34:39: Are the Mets creating false hope again? 01:44:00: What happened to Anthony Volpe? 01:49:41: Mount Rushmore: NY stars not in the Hall of Fame 02:07:49: Closing thoughts Send us Fan Mail

  MLB Trade Deadline Special: Mets Sell, Yankees Add Offense & Dodgers Land Tarik Skubal

  Aug 3, 20261h 19m

  The MLB Trade Deadline has passed, and the three dummies went live to process everything that happened. Will, LeeJay and EriK break down the Mets’ seven trades, whether David Stearns actually improved the organization and why restocking the farm system does not automatically provide a path back to contention. The conversation turns into a larger debate about the Mets’ player-development operation, Freddy Peralta’s collapse and whether an analytics-heavy approach can take the feel of the game away from pitchers. The crew also examines the Yankees’ additions, the needs Brian Cashman left unresolved and whether Cashman has essentially earned a job for life by keeping the Yankees in contention every season. Then comes the biggest controversy of the deadline: Tarik Skubal joining the Dodgers. Are the Dodgers damaging competitive balance, or are they simply showing the killer instinct that other wealthy franchises lack? The guys debate which teams can still beat Los Angeles and whether having the biggest names guarantees anything in October. Plus: live questions from Larry and Luke, a Bears-Jets bet that could cost LeeJay his mustache, early Giants expectations and another plea for the Mets to stop living off the 1986 championship.

  109. Giants & Jets Hype vs. Reality: New York Football’s Biggest Letdowns

  Jul 27, 20262h 10m

  The beginning of NFL training camp always brings optimism, but New York football fans know exactly how dangerous optimism can be. Will and LeeJay revisit the Giants and Jets teams that entered a season surrounded by major expectations. From Aaron Rodgers’ four-play Jets debut and Vinny Testaverde’s devastating 1999 injury to Plaxico Burress derailing the 2008 Giants and the collapse of Ben McAdoo’s 2017 team, which seasons lived up to the hype, and which ones completely fell apart? The guys also react to LeBron James joining the Philadelphia 76ers, debate whether the Mets should seriously consider trading Francisco Lindor, a quick discussion about whether this is the worst Mets season they have ever experienced, and look back at what ESPN and SportsCenter used to mean to sports fans. Plus: LeeJay’s review of The Odyssey, Will’s visit to Tropicana Field, expensive airline seats, clueless airport passengers and the latest proof that flying has become unnecessarily complicated. Timestamps 00:42: Intro and The Odyssey review 15:45: Will visits Tropicana Field 22:17: Revisiting Giants and Jets preseason expectations 01:11:58: LeBron James joins the 76ers 01:25:08: Halftime topic, airline prices and hidden fees 01:38:09: Mets Trade Deadline and Francisco Lindor 01:55:29: Is this the worst Mets season ever? 01:59:08: ESPN layoffs and Karl Ravech Send us Fan Mail

  108. Mets in Crisis: David Stearns, Francisco Lindor, and What Comes Next

  Jul 13, 20261h 58m

  Steve Cohen says David Stearns is not going anywhere, but after another disastrous Mets season, should the owner really trust the executive who constructed this roster? Will, LeeJay and Erik react to Cohen’s revealing podcast appearance, the lack of tough follow-up questions, concerns about the Mets’ farm system and the growing speculation surrounding Francisco Lindor. Is Lindor truly captain material? Could the Mets actually trade him before the deadline? And why does Stearns continue operating like he is still running a small-market franchise? The crew also recaps its Fourth of July trip to Atlanta, including the chaos of Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, the experience surrounding Truist Park and the College Football Hall of Fame’s AI inexplicably turning Will into a completely different person. During halftime, Will shares the full story of his first singles mixer and speed-dating event—including why he almost drove away without entering, how exhausting 15 consecutive conversations became and whether he plans to contact any of the three women whose numbers he received. Plus: what the United States is missing in soccer development, the problem with “non-competitive pitches,” and whether rap concerts provide enough of an actual show. Timestamps 1:26: Wildlife, bison and a man walking across America 10:26: The podcast’s summer schedule 11:37: Recapping the Atlanta trip 40:57: Steve Cohen podcast reaction 1:22:00: Will tries speed dating 1:40:29: World Cup discussion 1:50:47: Concert chaos and the rap-versus-rock debate 1:55:38: Home Run Derby and final thoughts Send us Fan Mail
