  • Getting better and better

    I’ve been listening since the very first episode and have never missed one. Greg and Jeff started out great and continue to get better. I subscribe to a lot of Mets podcasts, and this is the only one I listen to regularly. It is head and shoulders above the others. You can tell these guys bleed blue and orange, and they are the kind of fans to whom I can relate.

  • The Best

    Hands down my very favorite Mets podcast.

    The best compliment I can give is, if I were sitting next to these guys in a diner & they were talking Mets like this, I’d keep gettin coffee refills & stay just to listen.
