This week on Hits Different, Ellen, David, and Kait catch up on another brutal week of Mets baseball. But for one brief, shining moment there was a Camelot...

Pete Alonso broke the Mets all-time homerun record which was one of the greatest moments of many lives. And he beat the Braves' brains in to boot. We are all so happy that Pete received a startlingly large piece of artwork made from baseball trash from his billionaire boss who allegedly knows something about fine art. You could sort of see Pete's face flickering between thinking it was cool and wondering whether it would have to be hung up only in the basement. He is one of the greatest people alive in this country today I don't think that's in question!!!

Anyway, after that, Mets kept losing. We support them and it's fine. Whatever they see fit to do, we are behind them. We looked at some baseball cards from 1989 and Ellen broke off four of her teeth on mic.

Listener Lance you saved us. Let's go Mets!!!!!!!!

Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry—Kaitlyn and Producer Nathan were on vacation in Maine and had to watch the Mets get walked off from the top of a stunning seaside mountain. This episode is very late and—we assume— depressing!

This week on Hits Different, Ellen and David are talking about what the Syracuse Mets should be named. Respectfully, this is the only part of the episode I was able to read a transcription of really fast in between lobster rolls and theatrically long bicycle journeys. I can't wait to learn what else they said!

Let's go Mets!!!!!!

Pete please wait for us to get back to New York <3

Mark "Swaggy V" Vientos was NOT traded to the Miami Marlins, Chicago White Sox, or Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday and for that we are so grateful. He celebrated the news with an Instagram photo dump that included a new girlfriend whom he did NOT tag. Producer Nathan tried to figure out who she was by scrolling through all of Mark's Instagram follows and clicking manually onto the profile of each hot young woman. His Instagram feed is now insane.

This week on Hits Different we're talking about a weird 3-3 West Coast trip, the idea of brothers, the idea of twins, and of course Mark's job-saving (his) and life-saving (mine) grand slam. We received a wonderful question from a listener who wanted to know which celebrity we would sell the Mets to. I mistakenly said that Jose Iglesias is making his return to Citi Field this week, I guess because I was just assuming we were playing series that went Giants-Padres-Giant-Padres, due to the whole schedule being stupid like that up to this point. Candelita will be here in September.

Thanks and sorry!

LGM!
