Evan and Kiki here on the fan.

Evan on vacation in one of the Carolinas.

I don't remember which one.

I think it's North.

Did they add a Carolina?

It's North or South.

It's in one of them.

Middle Carolina.

Middle Carolina.

And Sean Morass is also on vacation.

He's probably in a tube somewhere in Lake George

tweeting about Jackson Dart, which

we will get into coming up later on in the show. We'll get into the Yankees, why I think they

have a Max Fried problem. Baseball realignment. Rob Manfred had a lot to say about that yesterday

on the telecast between the Mets and the Mariners, the Little League game, Williamsport. And I think that's a good spot to open with the show today. First and foremost, let me just say this. The Mets are going to the postseason. So if you've made vacation plans in October, shame on you, anybody that's given up, anybody that lives in my mentions. And I know that was a big deal last week, Tiki, when I was out on Friday,

enjoying my 40th birthday, which is tomorrow. I've been having a birthday month here, but it's a 40. It's a big one. Happy birthday, though. Officially, I'll give it to you. Tomorrow's my 40th birthday, so please, Venmo me money. I could use it. I heard that I was getting a lot of shrapnel for this. So I want to kind of take you through the weekend that was mine with the Mets and also just, you know, from my perspective and the team themselves, TEEK. But when we last left on Friday, at least you guys, because I wasn't here, the Mets were in a situation where it seemed like every night was their worst loss of the season. It was their worst loss of the season because they couldn't win regardless of what happened.

Right. Period. And then on Friday night, as I'm sitting there splitting a tomahawk steak with my wife, medium rare, I'm an aristocrat, out of the corner of my eye, because I was trying to be a good husband. And I know you have to be a good sports talk radio host, but I think above all, I'm a human and a husband and my wife who doesn't

understand the dynamics of sports right you know what i mean the two things she knows about sports is

another football game are you serious i'm like honey i got to watch the citadel in florida here

it's a very important game for my for my job there's a little shekels on this exactly and also

that baseball there's there's so many games as well.

She'll check in from now and then. But, you know, we're out in Manhattan. We got a hotel in the city. So I had like one eye on the game. And I see that Helsley's coming into the game. And I'm like, okay, all right, positive time. Everything's good here. Got a lead. and obviously we know what happened on Friday night.
