This week, three of the five co-hosts of A Pod of Their Own and Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series were unavailable for fun reasons, so Allison McCague and Brian Salvatore decided to combine their shows into one!

The Mets are in a terrible stretch, one that may be the worst performance by the best team on paper in many, many years. Brian and Allison discuss ways the team can attempt to improve, whether David Stearns should be allowed to cook without judgment, and as always, recommend some records and contribute Walk-Off Wins.

Allison’s Music Pick:

Spanish Love Songs - Brave Faces Everyone

Brian’s Music Pick:

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
