·1 hr 25 min·5 clips
Alec Argento, a Mets fan, admits he's been pulling for the Yankees this playoffs, setting up a tense New York sports debate.
The episode opens with host Peter Kennedy introducing the show and guests Alec Argento and Andrew Kalania. They immediately dive into the New York Mets' season, which ended in the NLCS loss to the Dodgers. A heated debate ensues about whether the Mets' playoff run constitutes success or failure, with Alec arguing that with their high payroll, anything short of a World Series is a disappointment, while Peter and Drew offer more nuanced perspectives considering the team's preseason expectations. The conversation shifts to the New York Yankees, who are in the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The guests express excitement about the Yankees' first World Series appearance in 15 years. They analyze key factors: Juan Soto's impact as a clutch performer, the Yankees' pitching advantage over the Dodgers' thinner rotation, and the pressure on stars like Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. Predictions are made, with Drew and Peter picking the Yankees in six games, while Alec leans Dodgers. The group also discusses betting odds and potential series MVPs. The final segment previews the New York Knicks' upcoming NBA season. Using a comparative format, they rank Eastern Conference teams, concluding the Knicks are definitively better than most, a toss-up with the Philadelphia 76ers, and likely behind the Boston Celtics. Concerns are raised about the Knicks' center depth against Joel Embiid. The episode maintains a conversational, debate-driven tone throughout, focusing on New York sports narratives.
