  • Real Mets Fans

    I recently discovered them and quickly fell in love with their podcast. They are not only Mets fans, they are realistic Mets fans, and I find I am agreeing with most of what they say. They keep it simple, they keep it real and also entertain, hoping to continue enjoying their podcast for a very long time.

  • Great Mets podcast!

    Love hearing these women discuss the Mets world! They are informed, professional & engaging. Barring SNY’s The Mets Pod, all other podcasts about the Mets have obnoxious hosts ranting & raving about their lives & other sports. This is a breath of fresh air! Thanks, ladies!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EWING provides SPARK in MLB DEBUT
Q: Do you think there's any truth to the idea that Carson Bench could be overtaken by AJ Ewing in terms of offensive potential, or is this more about early projections?
The guest suggests it's not about dismissing Bench but acknowledging Ewing's hit tool, speed, and plate discipline could offer a different but equally valuable offensive profile, with the possibility of contrasting paths rather than a direct one-for-one replacement.
BO BICHETTE to the METS in SURPRISE DEAL
Q: Where is Brett Beatty going to play, or do you think he's going to get traded?
Brett Beatty might get traded or he could see some time in left field if Bichette plays third base.
