Marc Malusis starts his show with a fiery monologue that connects three seemingly disparate topics: Micah Parsons's playoff performance, the Mets and Yankees' postseason fears, and a brief, humorous aside about a popular song. He argues that Parsons hasn't shown up in big playoff moments, making his trade from the Cowboys defensible. He then pivots to the New York baseball teams, suggesting that while the Mets and Yankees are capable of greatness, their inconsistency creates a "fear factor" that makes them less intimidating than fans believe. Finally, he shares a lighthearted anecdote about being forced to listen to a Benson Boone song on repeat, an experience he jokes is a sign of his "softening" personality.
