## Resource

Our long national nightmare is nearly over, and the next season of the Mets is almost HERE. Ellen, David, and Kait got together this week to talk a little bit about spring training, but mostly about a cursed video the Mets put out in which almost everyone on the team revealed that they have never seen a movie specifically created for adult viewers. (Exception: Brett!) We're very excited to get back to Citi Field, as you can tell, though that doesn't mean we forgive and that doesn't mean we forget. On that note, thank god that our sweet friend Pete Alonso isn't involved in the World Baseball Classic, am I right? Team USA has not been acquitting itself very well and he's too good for it. You may have seen that they are obsessed with rejecting friendly hand-shakes, talking incessantly about their duty to dominate on the world stage, and reportedly "blaring" a psychotic Toby Keith song about starting a war in the Middle East. Sorry. We didn't actually talk about that in this episode, but I forget what we did talk about!! Thank you Producer Nathan for editing this a mere four days after we recorded it and for correcting the notable error. I got confused because I personally don't intend to be in New York City on September 14, 15, or 16 and will instead be off the grid somewhere, ears and eyes covered.
