63. Meet the New Mets

One day into the 2026 season the new-look lineup for the New York Mets was knocking Paul Skenes out in the first inning, silencing the haters, and securing David Stearns somewhere between 4 and 6 meaty biographies one day. One week into the 2026 season and the New York Mets have sole possession of last place in the NL East.In the season-three regular-season premiere of Hits Different, Ellen, David, and Kait discuss the glories of opening day and the jumpy, meth-y freak-outs of nearly every day since. If you missed "the discourse" on X Dot Com, don't worry, we're summarizing. Since I said it in the episode I will not use the opportunity here to get into it even more about how the only reason the Mets won games in April of last year was thanks to one Pete Alonso—and where is he now? Like I said, I won't.We're feeling nuts but overall so happy to be back. What is there to do when there's no baseball to watch? We already forgot. We're debuting a new segment called Ellen's Egg Roll Review, in which she tries all the ludicrous themed egg rolls they are serving at Citi Field this year, starting with the Pittsburgh-inspired pierogi egg roll. Yum!Please send us questions at [email protected]. We would really love it if you sent them as a voice note / audio recording of some sort so that we can hear your voices and play them on the show. That would rule!Thank you for being with us. Stay strong... You gotta believe... Let's go Mets! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
