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?

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.

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!!
