Doug's not here.

This is Andy, but we have John Harper, so that's better news.

This is the guy who knows the game as well as any writer, reporter that I've worked with.

We're going to talk baseball for the next half hours, so stay tuned.

All right, welcome to Shea Anything.

5G built right for the Mets from the network more people rely on only on Verizon. As a lowly writer writer and reporter I would like some feedback on how I

did with that read that would normally be Doug's job how was that semi professional professional to me

and you guys must be doing something right you're getting these big time sponsors for this thing huh

look we I don't want to brag like I try I try to stay humble at least probably, but the, no, but the interest in this podcast

has been absolutely through the roof.

And the internal analytics show is mostly the ones that I appear on it.

Doesn't that anything to do with Keith Hernandez being on, though, does it?

Keith was famous, you know, 35 years ago, but it's kind of, I'm kind of more tapped in now

to what people feel and think.

So I think it's about it.

Younger crowd can relate to you.
