Meet at the Apple

Tough series but we’re here to keep you company and talk to you about a few of the positives of the last few games while looking ahead to the future. Some bright spots in this series were great starts from Tylor Megill and David Peterson who returned to the Mets rotation after battling back from injury. We did a special edition of The Fives this week where we focused on the 5 levels of Mets player development and walked you through a prospect to watch on all 5 levels of the system, then we looked away at the next series and talked about what’s going on at the ballpark this weekend!

We also got TWO great interviews today! One was with Mark Vientos who we spoke to about that incredible walk-off vs. the Cardinals, how he’s been able to deal with the personal challenges he’s faced this season, his work ethic, his mustache, and we asked him to comment on the Kendrick vs Drake beef since he’s a known drizzy fan.

Our second interview of the episode was with Paulo Costa, who will be fighting THIS SATURDAY at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ where he’ll be taking on Sean Strickland at UFC 302. Paulo blind-ranked Brazilian MMA legend, told us his four favorite knockouts, which loss he most wants to avenge, and we try to get the REAL truth about his secret juice.

Straight off a Mets walk-off win, we get together to tell you what the Mets did right vs San Francisco, why Mets fans can stay positive, what the Mets NEED to do vs the Dodgers this week, and why you should be here!

A large chunk of the episode is devoted to an interview we did with Jon’s hero Mike Francesa, and what a perfect time with the Mets playing the Giants, did we get to the bottom of the age old question of “Do the football giants and the baseball giants ever get together”, this is an interview he’d been waiting to make happen since we started meeting at the apple. Mike was a great guest who left no topic untouched and was happy to walk us through his biggest moments while giving us a little backstory.

Rough series for the Mets, rough night for Vito who got home from a crushing Knicks game 7 at MSG but the Meet at the Apple boys are here to tell you all the things to look forward to.

Before we talk Marlins-Mets though, we share an interview we did with Tiffany Haddish about her brand new book “I Curse You With Joy”, her interest in major league baseball players, all of the stuff in the book we can’t really talk about on a family friendly podcast and overall just goof around for a few minutes before trying to convince Tiffany to purposely throw a bad pitch.
