Today is tomorrow. It happened. Thanks to Tacocat for the music.

Brian is joined by special guest Rich MacLeod who, as it turns out, is the most special guest of all because, without him, Brian would never have known how to record a guest. We discuss his article for BP Mets, the Amed/Dom collision, Jeff McNeil's emergence, and Brian dips into the mailbag.

After 88 wonderful episodes, Roger has (temporarily? permanently?) resigned from Good Fundies. Brian thanks the listeners, the guests, the guest tweeters and the writers for an incredible run; and contemplates whether Good Fundies will continue. And if so, in what form. Thank you to Jared Diamond, Marc Carig, Matthew Cerrone, Eno Sarris, Dan Szymborski, Peter Alonso, Ty Kelly, Kevin McGowan, Rick Peterson, Greg Prince, JT Teran, Sean O'Connor, Ursula from FBWG, Rich MacLeod, Jon Hurwitz, Tim Britton, Matt Ehalt and Abbey Mastracco. Special thanks to Jenna Jacobs, Victoria Edel, Tim Sestito, Christina Cola, John Edwards, Tim Ryder, Helen Silfin. Thank you to the listeners, without whom none of this was possible. And thank you to Roger, for all your hard work and your friendship. You are a treasure to the Mets community.

Brian and Roger recorded an emergency pod about the Yoenis Cespedes situation and the underwhelming Jeurys Familia trade. This is that.

The Fundie Fellas yapped about Mike Trout and the All-Star Game (03:30), people intensely judging a Mickey Callaway decision that worked (07:30), and Jacob deGrom's agent's statement to the Mets to either trade his client or sign him to a contract extension (14:15)before inviting Tim Britton of The Athletic onto the podcast. Tim and the boys talked about their defunct TV blogs (25:00), how covering the 2009 Mets helped him divorce himself from Mets fandom for good (28:30), covering the Red Sox and how their fans had the same complaints Met fans have (30:30), if we are stuck with Jose Reyes (33:25), the right time to write the scorched-earth Wilpon article (35:40), documented meddling from other MLB owners in the past (39:30), bad team player evaluations (41:00), the three ways the Mets could rebuild for the 2019 season (43:20), deGrom (47:45), Amed Rosario's gradual growth (51:30), if Sandy Alderson was funny (57:00), the dangers of tweeting out lineups while driving (58:30), and plenty of other fun stuff. After conversing on the reveal of how small the Mets analytics department is (01:03:30), they opened up the mailbag, where they determined if it's possible that all three current Met GMs will each make a trade for the same player at the same time (01:14:00), if the Mets would have traded back for Wilmer if he was actually dealt in 2015 (01:19:00), what someone can do if they have a ton of empty soda cups from Citi Field in their house (01:21:00), the right way to deal with Mets sales guys without being mean but not too nice either (01:24:30), and their tentative plans to definitely maybe attend the *next* MLB All-Star Game (01:28:30) If you’re a writer and have a baseball story idea, pitch us at goodfundies@gmail.com.

Roger and Brian announced that Good Fundies is now a World Cup podcast and maybe also a Metropolitan Museum of Art podcast (02:15) before discussing the blending of the internet and the real world (04:15),the latest writing about the Wilpons' meddling and the analytics people being overruled (19:00),Ken Rosenthal's take that the Mets won't make the same mistakes again and his reporting on the latest trade rumors (33:30), how money in trades work (47:15), who the next Mets GM will be and if Brian would do it if offered(57:45), and not fun facts about Jose Reyes, who is terrible (01:06:45). Then in the mailbag segment, the boys were asked if Reyes Virus Guy was right (01:23:45), if it's time for a complete rebuild (01:30:15), if the Mets fanbase is more disappointed than the Nationals' (01:31:30), if they're still watching the games (01:34:35), if Seth Lugo should start or relieve (01:40:15), if Steven Matz or Zack Wheeler should be traded (01:51:45), and why Peter "EL POW" Alonso is still in Triple-A (01:54:00).

Roger and Brian voiced their appreciation for the departing Mets GM Sandy Alderson (03:00), discussed Jeff Wilpon's 'confession' (20:00), wondered if this current Met team is one of the worst ever (32:00), predicted how the triumvirate GM super squad will and will not work (36:00), gossiped about the reported in-fighting between the major league staff and the player development staff (37:30), spoke of the joys of bunting (41:00), chatted about AJ Ramos' season-ending surgery (01:04:00), uttered an uncharacteristic rant (01:07:00), shook their heads over the team screwing up waiting to DL Jason Vargas (01:10:30), and sadly detailed how Michael Conforto admitted he doesn't really like the 'Scooter' nickname (01:20:30).

This time around the Fundies fellas started the pod discussing whether or not the Mets are going to go on another 11-1 run and just become the streakiest team in baseball history (02:00), give props to those who gave props (09:00), talk about Peter Alonso and Jeff McNeil's promotions to...Triple A (19:30), this week's injury protocol nonsense (23:00), and wondered why MLB promotes Aaron Judge so much but not the possibly better Brandon Nimmo (33:45) Then Roger welcomed veteran Mets writer Jerry Beach (38:00), who discussed his feelings on his guy Terry Collins getting redemption and viral fame (40:00), how he became the very first staff writer for mets.com (52:00), Derek Bell's love of 'Judge Judy' (57:30), witnessing the grand slam single game in person (59:45), his Forbes article on how eerily similar the 2002 and 2018 Mets are (01:07:30), and oh so much more. In the mailbag segment, Brian and Roger tried to figure out if they and other Met fans are Sisyphus fighting against ownership (01:27:00), if Lugo should go back to the bullpen when Syndergaard returns (01:36:30), and if Michael Conforto or Brandon Nimmo will have a better career (01:39:30). @falconkick's mailbag video in full: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtyQqhDyxFs Jerry Beach's recent article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jerrybeach/2018/06/15/for-rebuild-reluctant-mets-gms-the-script-and-scriptwriter-remains-the-same/ If you’re a writer and have a baseball story idea, pitch us at goodfundies@gmail.com.

Hi! This week the Good Fundies fellas chatted about social media algorithms and the correct pronunciations of things (06:00), the Wilpons and their malfeasance for the past 15 years (12:30), Ken Rosenthal letting them down (27:30), the Mets paying more for shorter contracts (33:00), Adrian Gonzalez's departure (50:00), how they think Dominic Smith will do this time around (52:20), if the Mets season is uh, over (58:00), how they continue to mess up player position injuries (01:15:00), and Jose Reyes and retirement parties (01:21:45). Then in the mailbag segment, they pontificate on Amed Rosario's offensive improvements (01:35:50), what one thing they wish could have burned in Citi Field's display case (01:39:30), if David Wright is Hall of Fame worthy (01:42:00), who is to blame from #LOLMets (01:44:00), if there's any chance in hell the Mets sign Bryce Harper (01:48:00), and if Jeurys Familia will be back in Queens in 2019 (01:53:30). It's probably worth the price of admission just to hear Brian's bad Mickey Callaway impersonation (01:11:00) and Roger's excellent Mike Barwis impersonation (01:13:00).

First, Roger and Brian talked about the Citi Field fire and the plague-ish events transpiring with the Mets lately (01:30), Mickey Callaway's recent motivational tactics (10:00), and Sandy Alderson's interesting math (16:00). Then Binghamton Rumble Ponies first baseman and Top 100 prospect Peter Alonso discussed his new wikipedia-verified nickname (24:30), how watching the 2015 World Series showed him how energetic Mets fans can be (26:30), if he's considering just showing up to Citi Field unannounced to see what happens (27:45), playing in Binghamton (34:10), how his idol Mike Piazza motivated him (38:30), wooden bats (48:00), why he would get rid of all of the new MLB rules (58:50), how teams are pitching him differently after his red hot start (01:03:00), if he can take Piazza in a scuffle (01:07:25), his New York City experiences (01:10:30), his message to Mets fans about players (01:12:30), his thoughts on 'Field of Dreams' (01:18:00), if he is willing to play the outfield if asked (01:18:30), and much more.

Roger and Brian discussed poor, poor, so so poor Jacob deGrom (05:00) before solving the Mets bullpen crisis by talking about it (11:00), apologizing kinda maybe to Terry Collins (15:00), determining what is Mickey Callaway's fault and what isn't (20:30), how the starting rotation should be changed (24:00), newest oldest Met Jose Bautista (34:40), Jay Bruce revisionist history (46:00), and an update on the METCON meter (50:00) In the mailbag segment, the two answered questions about when it's time to think about trading away Asdrubal (58:00), if Frazier and Cespedes returning to the Mets will save us all (01:03:25), why a listener hates themselves and roots for the Mets (01:07:15), why some fans blame Sandy and not ownership (01:10:30), if the Mets can pay for all the heart medicine they are costing another listener (01:21:35), and if Jacob deGrom should be freed (01:22:30).

The boys of Good Fundies began the show by apologizing for missing last week and explaining what they have been up to lately, as well as sharing their existential and/or Mets-related frustrations (04:00).

Then Brian made a change to the METCON level, noting the Mets' unexpectedly strong NL East competition and the team's latest injury issues (33:00). After that, Jon Hurwitz joined to chat about how he helped bring THE KARATE KID back to life (50:00), Keith Hernandez's bobblehead cameo and the Mets-related deleted scene from COBRA KAI(54:40), the movies he watched over and over again during the 80's (01:00:00), the possibility of a second season (01:02:00), if Harold or Kumar is a Mets fan (01:08:00), the 2002 marijuana Mets (01:08:30), how he became a Mets fan (01:09:00), why most comedians seem to be Mets fans (01:13:00), his thoughts on the 2018 team (01:15:50), why Jerry Seinfeld needs to "step up" (01:18:15), and pretty much everything else that's relevant. In the mailbag segment, the boys figure out if the new catchers are failing the pitchers (01:24:00), why the Mets didn't sign Bartolo Colon (01:32:15), the issues with the Mets' farm system and why it isn't as amazing as the ones the Yankees and Atlanta has (01:34:30), if it's time for Peter Alonso and/or Gavin Cecchini (01:43:15), and if there's anything to the Manny Machado talk emanating from the 'Rumor Sphere' (01:46:00) If you’re a writer and have a baseball story idea, pitch us at goodfundies@gmail.com.

Special guest star: Longtime MLB.com Mets beat reporter Anthony DiComo! This time around Brian and Roger talked about Matt Harvey's move to the bullpen (06:50), Yoenis Cespedes announcing he probably wont be denying himself the pleasure of golf much longer (20:00), Jay Bruce's struggles and Mickey Callaway's management of the outfield (24:40), and if the Phillies are legitimately scary (39:30) before offering the most positive of spins about the Mets' 2018 season so far (42:15). Then Anthony DiComo joined in to share his secrets on not going crazy after reporting on the Mets for over eight seasons (45:00), explain his Reel Big Fish intro song selection (47:40), what an off day for him is like (48:15), why Jay Horwitz always calls him 'Tony' (51:00), the biggest differences between a Mickey Callaway clubhouse and a Terry Collins clubhouse (52:00), how much input Mickey has compared to the front office (54:20), a Cespedes golf update (57:30), what Tomas Nido has to do to get more starts (59:25), if Brandon Nimmo is nicer than even Curtis Granderson (01:01:30), Jay Bruce continuing to start over Juan Lagares and Nimmo (01:03:00), the possibility of Bruce playing first base this season (01:05:20), Bruce and Todd Frazier's lack of best friendship (01:06:40), the lack of humor on #MetsTwitter (01:09:30), hat sizes (01:11:00), and ending the interview as awkwardly as possible (01:13:55). Then after Brian decided to worry about Noah Syndergaard's foul ball rates (01:18:00), the mailbag segment featured a question about Shohei Ohtani's MVP chances (01:23:00), Harvey's future (01:28:10), the possibly overworked Mets bullpen (01:31:30), and what happens if Cespedes golfs and still doesn't get out of his slump (01:41:00).

After the boys of Good Fundies watched the Mets finish blowing a game against the Nationals (02:00), the two questioned whether such 'shocking' defeats were truly 'shocking' (03:00) Then they talked about Travis d'Arnaud's season-ending injury and what it means for the catching situation (08:00), Zack Wheeler's great start (19:00), and Matt Harvey's not so good at all start (21:10), before Brian updated us with the latest METCON reading (28:00) and the telling stats on how much Mickey Callaway is truly relying on the team bullpen (33:00). Then in the mailbag, the two figured out if Jay Bruce would be better as a catcher than Michael Conforto (41:00), when Jay Bruce should just go play first already and give Brandon Nimmo more playing time (44:30), how to enjoy being a Mets fan if it means crappy Mets fans get to be happy too (52:15), when Jose Reyes gets the boot for TJ Rivera or Ty Kelly or Gavin Cecchini (01:15:25), what friends call Noah Syndergaard (01:18:45), and if you’d be okay with a significant other cheating on you with a Met if it means three consecutive Mets pennants (01:19:15). It concluded with a congested Roger trying to channel Jack Buck calling the Bill Buckner play (01:21:10). If you’re a writer and have a baseball story idea, pitch us at goodfundies@gmail.com.

The Mets are probably pretty good and Mark Simon (ESPN, Sports Info Solutions) joins in on the fun on the new Good Fundies! Roger and Brian used mostly true Mets facts and pythagorean records to determine if the Mets are good, all the while enjoying the wondrous moment in time (02:00). Then, the two got into the difference between Mickey Callaway and the former manager, Ol' Whatshisface (13:30), Brian revealed this week's METCON level (21:30), and discussed Keith Hernandez's tweeting thus far (25:30). This was followed by Mark Simon chatting about Stuyvesant High School athletics (33:00), whether or not he's a Mets fan (34:00), his time providing stats and cool info for 'Baseball Tonight' and ESPN (35:00), how the stats on TV changed after 'Moneyball' (37:50), his new job (41:20), Michael Conforto's future (43:45), how shifting around baseball has changed so far this season (46:50), if Adrian Gonzalez's hard hit percentage is real (48:30), which teams around MLB are victims of bad luck (53:30), if the Nationals will catch the Mets (54:30), and you best believe more. In the mailbag, the boys were asked what the Thor-deGrom-Matz-Harvey-Wheeler rotation should be called (01:00:00), if Wheeler is deserving of a rotation spot (01:04:10), if the Mets need Imagine Dragons to sing their new song (01:18:00), if Scooter is a decent center fielder (01:20:00), which Met player's DNA would you want in your child(01:23:45), if it's too early to be mad if the Mets aren't in the division race in September (01:27:20), and if it's a problem that Lagares and Nimmo aren't starting (01:32:15).

Brian Wright talked about his new book "Mets in 10s: Best and Worst of an Amazin' History" and Roger and the other Brian made their 2018 Mets Over/Under predictions! First Brian and Roger talked about Keith Hernandez joining Twitter (04:00) of course. Then they went over how they thought Steven Matz looked and Mickey Callaway's decisions after the first Mets series of the season (13:00), and the potential outfield logjam once Michael Conforto returns (27:15). Then the boys invited a second Brian onto the show for the first time in history. Brian Wright talked about his cool new book "Mets in 10s", specifically: how his anger at Chase Utley influenced him (42:00), how he got Jerry Koosman to write the forward (44:00), how he became a Mets fan(48:00), fighting anti-recency bias when compiling Mets top 10 lists (51:00), the hardest top 10 list to compile (55:30), and keeping all of the "anguish"ing lists in one section (01:00:00). After that, the boys got their 2018 over/unders (01:04:00). Early on, Brian remembered to update the METCON level (01:05:00). You can pre-order Brian Wright's book 'Mets in 10s: Best and Worst of an Amazin' History' on the Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and probably elsewhere.

Fake Baseball is over. Time for Real Baseball and a new Good Fundies, where Roger and Brian keep it professional with Addy Baird from ThinkProgress. After discussing the new members of the Good Fundies family and how the youth communicate these days, the boys talked about Rafael Montero's injury (14:30), Zack Wheeler's demotion (20:00), Steven Matz and Matt Harvey's futures (28:50), Noah Syndergaard's potential (33:00), Jason Vargas' Jason Vargasness (37:00), Michael Conforto starting the year on the DL (39:30), Phillip Evans (41:30), Wilmer Flores potentially winning the 1B job (44:45), Brandon Nimmo beating out Juan Lagares for CF (47:00), and their predictions on how many wins the Mets will have by the end of this season (50:45). Then Addy Baird schooled the boys on 'The Bachelor' (01:02:45), which Met would be the best Bachelor (01:07:15), the Mets' zodiac sign disadvantages (01:13:15), and how she became a Mets fan from Utah (01:26:45). In the mailbag segment, the two pontificated on minor league baseball's extra innings rule change (01:52:00), if Wilmer will be worse in the outfield than Todd Hundley or Daniel Murphy (01:56:00), if Dave Eiland is a refreshing change (02:00:40), and if the Mets are closer to a World Series title than blowing the whole thing up and starting again (02:04:30).
