Hits Different David Sims and Kaitlyn Tiffany

This week on Hits Different, David and Kaitlyn are tired but wired. Since the beginning of Pride Month, the Mets have been terrorizing the National League and there's NOTHING anybody can do about it. Mets are undefeated since Grimace threw out the first pitch and Harrison Bader warmed up in a pink crop-top. Mets are undefeated since J.D. Martinez hit his first-ever walk-off home run and Jose Iglesias gave him a big smooch on the cheek. Mets are dressed like fancy cowboys getting on their plane to Dallas.
This is the best team in the history of baseball! LGM!

This week on Hits Different, we're talking about our favorite boy band the New York Mets traveling to London for a two-game series! It was, as the MLB put it, a Carnival of Americana. The Mets won the second game in spectacular fashion but please don't let that distract from the fact that Philadelphia Philly Garrett Stubbs must face consequences for his despicable actions.
Meanwhile, Kaitlyn traveled to Dallas and saw a different type of Carnival of Americana (7/11 "Lone Star Slice" pizza, JFK murder tour). David stayed back in New York and watched the boys on his phone while doing dad duty. The worst day of his life was June 8, 2024. The best day of his life was June 9, 2024. When I (Kaitlyn) lived in Texas for three months in 2013, I worked at a coffee shop run by a woman who would always say "life is ever-changing, mama." So true. Life is ever-changing David!
Thank you to producer Nathan Marder for cleaning this one up back in the replay room in New York! We love you!
Let's go Mets!

Everybody is talking about the Mets! But it's not an "all publicity is good publicity" situation, necessarily. In the words of Pete Alonso, we really don't necessarily know what to think.
This week on Hits Different, David and Kaitlyn apologize to their listeners for declaring Harrison Bader the King of New York. He actually isn't King of New York and he's unable to count. We also give our review of the rainbow cookie egg roll at Citi Field. I forgot to mention that immediately upon purchase, a drunk man will approach you and ask if he can get a bite. If that happens you just say, "Sir, this is a family environment!" And keep it moving.
The Mets are going to London next week and Kaitlyn is going to Texas and David is staying right here and Brett Baty is staying in Syracuse. We love and miss him and think about him every day. Let's go Mets!

At the end of Mets' fifth-straight loss, SNY's Gary Cohen said "the sun will come up tomorrow, as difficult as that may be to realize." And the sun did come up, but we weren't surprised because we never stopped believing. This week on Hits Different, David and Kaitlyn talk about one of the worst, weirdest weeks in the history of baseball—we are an anti-math podcast but this superlative is mathematically PROVEN. Then, of course, we talk about what came at the end of the week: A comeback victory for your New York Metropolitans, brought to you by hometown hero Harrison Bader who we should not trade no matter how many sociopathic armchair GMs suggest as much on social media. We should, actually, sign him and his college friend Pete Alonso to matching "Met for life" deals.
In this week's mailbag, we have two great questions from Hits Different listeners. If you'd like to hear YOUR burning baseball question answered on the show, please send it in, we can't wait to hear it!! We are also once again asking Reed Garrett to let Kaitlyn follow him on Instagram. I would never say anything mean in the comments and in fact would like to say something nice. Such as: Let's go Mets!

This week on Hits Different, David and Kaitlyn have their LAST CONVERSATION about Pete Alonso trade rumors. We're never talking about it again. Most of the rest of the episode is about the Don DeLillo straight-to-DVD movie Game 6 starring Michael Keaton and Robert Downey Jr. I think everyone can agree that the actual baseball we watched this week was not worth discussing.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. But it is broke—that's why the Mets summoned Mark Vientos and Joey Lucchesi from Syracuse in a four-hour Uber XL. And that's why we're trying out some new segments on this show! First: BDOML/WDOML ("Best Day of My Life"/"Worst Day of My Life"). Second: Mailbag. Send us your questions! kait.tiffany@gmail.com
Thank you to James Rainis for our music, Paul Windle for our logo, and Nathan Marder for putting it all together!! 3

Disclaimer: This week's episode of Hits Different was recorded PRIOR to the tragic events of Monday night aka "Bark at the Park" night at Citi Field, when the Mets lost to the Phillies due to a series of unpredictable horrors. David and Kaitlyn had no idea that was coming. And that's baseball! [Ellie Goulding voice] Anything can happen!
This week on Hits Different, we are instead talking about a beautiful Sunday night victory over the Evil Atlanta Braves, in which the sinister ESPN broadcasters reminded viewers dozens of times that it is "impossible" for the Mets to catch runners trying to steal and continued to say that even after the Mets picked Ronald Acuña Jr. off at first base two times. Also: What were the Washington Senators? Why does everyone know who "Livvy Dunne" is? When will the rumor mill STOP churning stuff we hate to hear about Pete Alonso?
Thank you for listening and thank you as always to James Rainis for our beautiful theme song!!
