  • Why disappear when things go bad?

    Why there’s no episode after this year’s brutal ending???? Should tell it like it is.

  • Only listen of the interviews

    Definitely not one of the best best podcasts available because it seems like they will get fired if they say a single negative thing. Only reason to listen is the great interviews that they capture with the players.

    Brutal,

    Mets fans deserve better. Boring, stale and not relatable. Bring back Josh Lewin!

  • Top Notch Mets Pod!

    This is one of my favorite Mets podcasts. One of the only ones who will bring in players to interview on air. Jonathon and Vito both have great perspectives on the team and I always look forward to the next listen. LGM!
