Sorry this episode is so late!!! Producer Nathan and I were in the Hudson Valley at the wedding of the century eating Jake's Gouda (look it up). And then we were busy and forgot. Sorry!!

This week on Hits Different, we're talking about the Mets splitting a series against the Dodgers which they could have swept, not to be one of those guys. I hate when baseball fans (Yankees fans) are all over social media saying "we would have won those games if we had won them." It's tempting, though. We're also talking about the Mets sweeping the Rockies (the first time). The Mets later swept the Rockies a second time after we finished recording but we'll talk about that next week.

How confusing! Let's go Mets!

Btw we got some interesting questions from listeners this week including one from my sister Sophie who asked something so SCURRILOUS, as David put it, about our guys.

Let's go Mets! Happy Pride!!

Of course, everyone is saying that it's classic Mets behavior to nearly sweep the Los Angeles Dodgers and then achieve just two narrow victories and one pretty appalling loss against the world-historically bad Chicago White Sox. We're not really of that opinion—we think it's classic Mets behavior to be SO cute and fun—but things do seem a little weird.

I hope you're okay with listening to three people watch and react to a grainy (not that you can see it) internet video of Brett Baty dunking a basketball in high school, because that's what's on the table this week. And speaking of the table, noted foodies Ellen and David report back from an adventure in the heretofore mysterious HYUNDAI CLUB at Citi Field, where the clams and spaghetti are free, the sight lines are stunning, and it's the best day of your life every day of the week. (Though the Mets may, technically, still lose)

We got a great mailbag question this week about stupid-looking on-base celebrations. Send us some more questions, we love them!! hitsdiffpodcast@gmail.com

Actually, here are the dunk videos we watched in case you also want to see them:

1) Brett

2) Basketball guy David was talking about (I am pretty sure this is the correct one but I'm moving fast right now—sorry!)

Let's go Mets!!!

We're back after a one-week forced hiatus—for some reason THEY did not want our episode about Brett Baty's huge week against the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates to reach the airwaves and so THEY destroyed the audio files after recording. Unfortunately there's nothing THEY can do, because this week we're talking about Brett Bonds Baty saving the Mets' season once again!!!! BB7 Brett the Met is unstoppable. He's inevitable! So are we!!!

We're also talking about the New York tabloids and their sick obsession with our 26-year-old friend Juan Soto (STOP LOOKING AT HIM), the Mets' star signs (many Scorpios), David's interesting bedtime ritual (ooh la la), whether baseball is the most cinematic sport, and, if not, then WHAT is??

Will Griffin Canning win the Cy Young? Goodbye! Happy holiday! Let's go Mets!
