To cuddle.

Unsurfacing three times as many people as he's able to get to.

Not everyone can afford to take off work and pay whatever cost to get a force.

Or to trash.

Let the wild rumpus begin.

That.

Want a meat stick?

Is the question.

Love buster.

Love buster.

All righty.

We got Mellon eight minutes. So we've got to move here. Listen. You do what you do, and Mel will join us when you're done. I don't think that's... You do what you do is what you do. I don't think that's the right approach at all. No? By the way, the season finale of Mel Kuiper Jr. on the show. Oh.

This is it?

This is it. This is it. Well, Mel really goes into, like, hibernation mode after this. I asked RJ if I could guilt him into joining us again, and he's like, I don't think that's a great idea. I do what I do is what I do. Yeah, Dave had a whole approach. Listen, I would be interested as to how it would play out Because I do think he likes us And I think there's a world that that could happen But I think we need to save Mel for Mel Because after this, he goes into like a 10-day hibernation Can we get a draft shot out again, you think? I don't know, I feel like it was a one-time thing Yeah I can ask for that. Go ahead, RJ, since you've told us the time is limited. Yep. So, age old question, where we begin after talking to Buster and knowing what you know about the situation. What do you blame most for where the Mets are at right now? Would it be David Stearns, Carlos Mendoza? Or those players on the field. Oh, good one. This is probably my favorite question. I can only break it out. Maybe I don't know two or three times a year. I'm going to have to marry the players. I mean, it's always the players, right? I mean, as great as a manager can be, if you're getting three, you can have Miller Huggins as a manager.

You get three hits.
