Mets Go Streaking ft. Doc Gooden!
April 23, 2024 21:00 - 57 minutes - 39.3 MBWe've been looking forward to this episode for a long time as Mets legend Dwight Gooden was good enough to take some time for an interview with us after a very busy week. At the end of a lengthy meet and greet at Murphy's Bar in Astoria, Dr. K was gracious enough to hang around a little longer for a pair of knuckleheads with a microphone. It also helps that the Mets had an outstanding week! Come for the Doc Gooden interview, stay for the breakdown of the Pirates sweep and surprising series v...
What a Difference a Week Makes
April 17, 2024 00:00 - 47 minutes - 32.5 MBApril is a weird baseball month. Last week the Mets looked like a 70 win team, now they look dangerous!

Not What You Want, But...
April 08, 2024 23:00 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MBThe Mets have stumbled out of the gate, then stepped on a rake, and then stepped in dog doo. It was an abysmal start to the year for the squad, but there are some bright spots and maybe even some signs of life. We break down the struggles as well as the silver linings including a nice first turn through the rotation and nice performances from Brett Baty and Francisco Alvarez. From there we spin around the league and discuss another year's worth of devastating pitching injuries. Enjoy!

Trade Deadline Recap
August 07, 2023 21:00 - 1 hour - 45.5 MBThere was a ton that went down during last week's trade deadline. Good teams adding, bad teams selling, the Yankees not doing anything, and the Mets just absolutely tanking. It took us a couple of days to get our emotions in check to talk reasonably and even longer to edit our marathon recap session but it is finally here! We start with the Mets of course and the new and saddening direction that the front office has taken, but then we cover the whole damn deadline. So many teams maneuvering ...

The Mets Stink Right Now, Part Deux
June 19, 2023 20:00 - 58 minutes - 40.4 MBWhat a difference a week makes...actually jk lmao there isn't much of a difference. The Mets are still bad. Errors on the field and the basepaths, unacceptable starting pitching from supposed aces, and inconsistent offense have brought this team to a 33-38 record as we are only 10 games away from the midpoint of the season. When will it end? In fact, they are so frustrating to watch and talk about that we actually spend most of the episode taking a spin around the rest of the league. If you ...

West Coast Mets

The Nephews are here to recap the Oakland sweep and Dodgers series as well as react to the Max Scherzer ejection. Or maybe we should call it the Phil Cuzzi ejection. So dumb.

Corre-Yea or Nay?
January 04, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 47.8 MBOh boy did Uncle Stevie really try and make this New Year a special one when he swept in and stole Carlos Correa from under the Giants' tree. Or did he? And should he? As of this publishing, Carlos Correa is still not officially a Met and we Nephews just have no idea what to think.

Houston, You Are a Problem.
July 01, 2022 21:00 - 59 minutes - 41.1 MBUgh. Sound off if you also hate the friggin Astros. They're so good and it's so annoying.
