Hits Different

David, Ellen, and Kait re-convene after weeks and weeks without the New York Mets to talk about the thrilling and fascinating baseball they HAVE been allowed to watch this October. Everything has gone so well for us, we're so happy. We recorded this before the World Series started but then we had some production delays due to the Nathan Fielder movie and a houseguest. Sorry!!! The mentioned jersey customization shop in Seoul, South Korea is called Wonjin Sports. That place rules!!!Please write to us we're so lonely without Mets. Hosted on Acast.

This week on Hits Different, we're talking about the last 5 games of the Mets' season. We're going to miss them so bad!! LGM!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Uploading this in a hurry but let me tell you—we could not stop talking ball this week. And Producer Nathan surprised us with the wildest breakfast anybody's ever had. Stay tuned for chewing. Dave was the only one watching when Jared Young was concussed by Nolan McLean's kneecap and he was actually quite traumatized. Jared is the best and we love him so much. Please get well soon, Jared. Someone wrote to the mailbag to ask which Met is Snoopy (?) and we didn't address this on the air but Jared Young is Snoopy and the girls have been saying this for months. Let's go Mets!!

New segment: weirdest day of our lives!!!! Pete forever, LGM Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

That's not really the main topic of the show but I'm trying something here with a little click-bait. Ellen, Dave, and Kait are back together this week and talking about MLB expansion, position players pitching, Mrs. Met's skin, and a Furry we ran into. Let's go Mets! Hosted on Acast.

The dog days are over! It's September and Juan Soto is back. Oh, it's so good to see him. He is being delusional and he is wearing a Lisa Frank-style multi-hued neon leopard-print cap. Diva! Love you. This week on Hits Different, Dave and Kait say farewell to Luis Robert Jr. and welcome back to Swaggy V, who, as you may recall, conveniently broke his hand 1 week before the trade deadline. Our Mets! We're going to miss them so much. But WHO will be rooting for in the play-offs? We have some initial feelings but actually, I think we're open to pitches from the audience. Let us know who you will be cheering for (unless you will be cheering for the Phillies, Dodgers, Yankees, or Braves, which you should keep to yourself). Write to us at [email protected]'s go Mets!

We're without Dave this week, so it took 10 tries to turn the microphones on. Next week we'll be without Ellen, but plus Dave, and I'm sure we'll struggle with something else (probably our senses of style and joie de vivre). And the following week we'll be getting the band back together! Just letting you know so you can put it in your calendars. Coincidentally we ended up with reviews of Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium this week, so there's something for everyone even if you are a Yankees fan listening to this podcast (my mom). How did I (Kait) end up being the only one who had to eat the fish taco egg roll? Let's go Mets! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Apologies for the lateness of this pod, we had a small communication problem and Producer Nathan was unable to get into the files for several days. For my (Kait's) part, I have no idea what was discussed as I was out of town attending a gorgeous wedding in New Hampshire (with Producer Nathan and his cohort of North Carolina athletes). I'm going to guess Carson Benge was mentioned (angel!!) and Dave says there was discussion of Nate Lavender's warm-up song "Lavender Haze." I have no idea whether Ellen was brave enough to eat day-old "San Diego" themed fish taco egg roll. I can't wait to listen and find out!! Short one because they missed me, I assume. We'll be back soon with a full-lengther. Let's go Mets!!!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

These Mets are not the same Mets they were a week ago—we have any number of random men to meet and to visit on David's Hometown Dates. Also, now that their season is so decidedly in the toilet, the Mets are stress-free, living large, and having a great time. BRETT BATY FIRST CAREER GRAND SLAM.Ellen, Kait, and Dave vaguely recap two weeks of baseball and discuss the Mets' new closer Kodai Senga, their new power-hitter Luis Torrens, and the semi-cancellation of a Mets prospect who briefly forgot about David Wright. No egg rolls were eaten in the past two weeks while we were on vacation, but Kait had about 500 croquettes in España, where she met just one person in a Mets hat and he didn't seem to know what the Mets were (the colors simply matched his barista uniform). If you can believe it, there are only 6 weeks left of the regular baseball season, and then what will we do? We'll miss these guys every single day. LGM!! Hosted on Acast.

This week on Hits Different, we answer the mailbag question that we attempted to answer last week before a technical problem intervened. Sorry!! We also learn why the sky is blue—thank you Listener Matteo. We're entering the dog days of summer, but that's okay. And soon, a bunch of our beloved Mets will be taken from us and redistributed throughout MLB, hopefully to teams we can bring ourselves to root for down the stretch. Do not send Tyrone to the Philadelphia Phillies!!! David Stearns I will find your house!!! PROGRAMMING NOTE: We're taking next week off to process the trade deadline together. (Actually Kait and Producer Nathan will be honeymooning on the continent.) We'll be back the following week to introduce all of the 19 and 21-year-olds who are soon to be New York Mets.
