3 Outta 7: 22 - Remember Alf? He's back...in pog form!
Skip skipped a recent start, so a sluggish start should be expected. Who expected Ketel Marte to be discussed in the latest Shakes Snowdown? That guy with his hand raised, that's who!How about the change of seasons from the safety of spring training to the end of the summer equinox. But that differs from the Labor Day weekend, which is unofficially when some teams really should pack it in. But I'm not bitter my team's been out of it for weeks. Not at all.Tonight's Trivia Answer - 230YouTube - https://youtu.be/8Ejyp2AnfkwMartinKester.com

Terminal Talk - It Takes 2 to lie. One to lie & one to listen.
After a fortnight under silent siege from afar, we return to look ahead at a subjective finish line stripped hundreds of miles from this ivory tower. But that line is near what consumes my waking hours - the New York Mets.Opining about the benefits of a lost season and hope for Carson Benge and a bright future; not even thinking about seeing Citi Field for the first time. For the first time, an ancient myth about water. The water that holds ships from Ratius. Even if you can't see them now, know they're coming.Tonight's Trivia Answer - 20,000YouTube - https://youtu.be/1Df3fCIJsf4MartinKester.com

3 Outta 7: 21 - I'm rembarassed for you
We talk about the greats like greatness isn't among us or are they? Will Freddie Freeman reach 3,000 hits? Are the Guardians guarding a Cooperstown resident to be? What deadline deal will you have to remember because every announcer will remind you about it?Which will you remember after this podcast? Likely one dealing with your favorite team. We run through our favorite teams and discuss what to put in your scorebook if a batter strikes out, but reaches first base on a wild pitch or passed ball?

Mets Up - Trade Deadline Review with Josh Sarfity
It was all a dream; or was it? Was the dream believing the 2026 New York Mets would compete for the postseason? Or was it the 2024 run to the NLCS was nothing more than that - a run? I run this idea past the Terminal's unofficial Stadium Chaser Josh Sarfity.Unofficial because we work on the cheap like the Mets' bullpen. Leaping strikeouts and rookie debuts is what's left when you unload every arm except one. One of few who is certain to be in Orange and Blue next year. Who knows what an internal explosion looks like? The Shadow knows.Tonight's Trivia Answer - 18YouTube - https://youtu.be/6eJlChvZ3PkMartinKester.com

Terminal Talk - Hollywood Wins & Humans Hurt
The world came together recently for the World Cup. We joined as one with the release of Spiderman: Brand New Day. And along with the success of The Odyssey; we've celebrated cinema to the tune of nearly $1 billion in profit.But was it worth it? Are the films inside theaters with surround sound on an IMAX/3-D screen good enough reason to exit the home? And how important is it to leave one's home? Actually, science says it's like bumming half a pack of smokes. But if you're not paying for it, then who's really at fault?Tonight's Trivia Answer - $850 millionYouTube - https://youtu.be/dlLKY7snRb4MartinKester.com

Terminal Talk - Game of Thrones 15-Year Review
A moment is saying to slow down but if I don't get this out before the storm that is viewing The Odyssey and Spider-Man; I find it difficult to believe I'll have the same emotion that I still have after rewatching all 8 seasons of Game of Thrones.A book reader first, I watched along at the time. But that time was a different one; one where access to HBO wasn't as easy as it seems to be for all today. Anyway; upon this rewatch it became clear I didn't "watch" the final episodes of Season 7 and all of Season 8. I feel for those that watched it live and even more for those who made sure and paid up for...Tonight's Trivia Answer - 1,056YouTube - https://youtu.be/YMD5OyEYmVEMartinKester.com

3 Outta 7: 20 - Wrong Number. This is 9-1...2
Almost old enough to drink, this podcast is getting ready to hit its stride or grind its gears. Both are semi-popular idioms occasionally used to kill time.We start with sports annoyances like dugout posing after a home run. Is rolling around after a soccer foul similar to stepping out of the batter's box to readjust batting gloves? How about rolling the basketball towards midcourt? Nothing like that should be in a good sports movie, so what should be?Tonight's Trivia Answer - $26 millionYouTube - https://youtu.be/xccaW2R0-uMMartinKester.com

It's easy to forget (or maybe not so much) but the MLB All-Star break has begun; here's hoping I remember to ask about that while also griping at commentors from the few articles I'm able to make it through nowadays.What's a little look back about surprises without tossing cold water to end the day.

RDAT Redux - FIFA Fan Fest & Let's Make a Top 10
A Top 10 track list was formed from 'Ready to Die' and 'Reasonable Doubt'; the two albums in the NYC Bracket Final as part of the Rap Debut Album Tournament (RDAT).It was too long a process to keep with the first pod, but too good to not warrant its own debut. This also allowed me to share a journey down the street to Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta, home of the 2026 FIFA Fan Fest.Sights from the Fan Fest - 2:34Let's Make a Top 10! - 12:11Today's Trivia Answer - 13 monthsYouTube - RDAT - NYC Final - https://martinkester.com/2026/07/01/rdat-nyc-final-dead-presidents-vs-big-poppa/The Top 10 from 88 or 94? - https://martinkester.com/2025/02/07/terminal-podcast-the-top-10-from-88-or-94/

Mets Up - A 3-Month Review with Josh Sarfity
What a difference 24 hours makes. For some, it's reviving a dormant bat that mattered little. For the Orange and Blue, it was three losses and likely the whole season. Is that too much or just delayed is asked to Josh Sarfity, amongst other things.Things like attempt to explain the involuntary crave to remain in a constant state of change, will the masses continue to carry water for those above and where was he for a moment that will live forever.Run Prevention's not that bad - 7:45Why should this be done? - 26:20Why does hustle matter? - 43:05How's this gonna play out - 52:45Thinking for the future - 1:01:00Tonight's Trivia Answer - 200YouTube -MartinKester.com

Gate to Gate - DC Comics
1992's Batman: The Animated Series is how many Xennials truly learned about the DC universe with Adam West's Batman; a show that was never taken seriously so much that I always overlook it and think Christopher Reeves' Superman as my intro to DC. But even that ignores Lynda Carter spinning into her Wonder Woman outfit.This DC Trinity ruled the 20th century, but while known they're just not hitting like they were. Let's ask why, what's up with the new new and how about we run back some of that good good from the past.Where were you for Game 4? - 1:00Favorite memorable sports moment - 8:10How will you fill the time? - 14:15Wrestler to Actor - 26:30Is Lobo Dr. Who? - 33:00When did Marvel overtake DC? - 43:40Tonight's Trivia Answer - 2,088YouTube - https://youtu.be/HQgwzjRJyocMartinKester.com

The New York Knicks demands the conversation and I've got questions; both humorous and likely a topic on tomorrow's sports talk show of your choice should basketball be brought up.I mean Saturday Night Live wasn't a thing the last time they won.

There are times to discuss how the gifted who skyrocket to success are lucky to stay alive and enjoy it. No, instead we'll talk about the same things we would talk about - the NHL Playoffs? Children's singing habits?We'll talk about the Knicks again because it's front page, top of fold for the next week. We'll also wonder about what holding the fort and if it will be enough.

This will include things that were, things that are, and some things that have not yet come to pass. I don't pass on a chance to talk about the Knicks in the NBA Finals as someone with no allegiance, only a youthful experience near the epicenter of it all.It ain't all good and that's the truth, but why can't it be? I've seen the Skywalkers since I was a kid. In fact, I felt like they aimed a lot of their toys at people like me.

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of a lot of things. Some say summer. Others say it's a critical point for MLB teams. Others dare to say the season has had a lot of plays that look like kids playing after school.After school is out, teachers take well-earned vacations so our resident higher learner is away.

Mets Up - A 2 Month Review with Josh Sarfity
Review. Remorse. Only a few letters; a few wiggly lines. A few ground balls with eyes and maybe this two-month check in with Josh Sarfity wouldn't feel so sad.

G2G My Childhood on Screen - Action Figures
A proud Xennial who grew up with blue and red lasers that never seemed to strike; many things are quickly reminding me that I have aged enough for my childhood to be on display. Just not like I thought it would be.We watched the cartoons and played with the toys that were based off the cartoons with characters that were like the toys we played with. We imagined stories. Maybe even filmed them with heavyweight VHS Camcorders.

Mets Up - We All Float Down Here
A rambling wreck staring at the bricks of Georgia Tech, I expound alone about what I've discovered underneath the foil, behind the current and down here with Pennywise, where we all float.I float around the ideas that formed after a little sip from a red cup.

Mets Up - A 1 Month Review with Josh Sarfity
When I first pitched this idea to Josh Sarfity, the Mets were near the top of the NL East. It doesn't seem that long ago, but time can be a cruel mistress or Lothario. Maybe we can hire a shaman or a healer for all the pain. Or really the lack of runs. We'll run thru all the available avenues for a fan of the Orange and Blue to vent.It won't help, but that's my question in the end - What will?Let's start with David Stearns - 3:25When are the kids supposed to play? - 13:45The OMG Mets - 24:25Bringing them together - 35:55Deliver a winner - 55:00Tonight's Trivia Question - Plus-17YouTube - https://youtu.be/nep486I8i50Stadiums and Starting Pitching with Josh Sarfity - https://youtu.be/rJSZWBLCo-EMartinKester.com

Keeping things topical is always in the cards, so why not delve into a topic everyone else has already given their two cents.
