Hits Different43. Prodigal Son Returns, Mets WinThis week on Hits Different, we're recapping yet another 3-3 road trip for the New York Mets. Two of the three wins, of course, came after Brett Baty rejoined the team in Arizona. Nobody knows why, but it's the truth: They can't win without him. Brett is becoming a meme on Mets Twitter, which is another way in which he is very similar to Juan Soto, who was diagnosed as non-binary and autistic by a bizarre person who had no idea they were about to instigate so much hilarity on Baseball Internet. Brett, for his part...2025-05-111h 11Hits Different42. Our Mets Have a Losing Record Without Brett BatyApologies for the profound delay in uploading this episode—Producer Nathan was out of the state over the weekend doing something really important. Producer's Assistant Kaitlyn was in the heart of darkness (Philadelphia) attending a wedding and worrying over whether Brett Baty would be traded. He was disappeared for about four days. The girls online hunted him like a sasquatch. This episode was recorded BEFORE we learned that Brett only had a sore toe and, of course, before the Monday lunchtime alert that he was actually FINE and rejoining the Big Mets IMMEDIATELY, after a mere 10 at-bats in Lovely Bu...2025-05-0659 minHits Different41. You Can't Do Better Than 7-0! Let's get this out of the way: Yes, the Mets spoiled their perfect week at home by telling Brett Baty—the very same who hit a two-run home run off of perennial Cy Young favorite Zach Wheeler, the only reason that the Mets were able to walk off the Phillies and complete the sweep—to get lost back to Syracuse. This decision was reported on David's birthday, which in my opinion was fucking insane. We were having the BEST time!!! The following day, the Mets re-signed noted homophobe Brooks Raley.Also in this episode, we're talking abou...2025-04-261h 07Hits Different40. Haunted Ballparks of the American West and Mid-WestPlease note this podcast episode was recorded early in the day on THURSDAY APRIL 17 and we had no idea what was coming (Brett Baty five-game hit streak, Keith saying "cue the music," Francisco Lindor first-ever walk-off homerun as a New York Met ahahahahahahaha). If you're still willing to think about last week's hugely mid and chilly road trip, have we got a show for you.The Mets had another 3-3 stint during which they sometimes looked like they had completely forgotten how to play baseball. But it's okay, because nobody saw it, as they were playing...2025-04-191h 14Hits Different39. Would You Boo Our Friend Brett Baty?This week on Hits Different, we're processing a glorious 5-1 home stand in which it was way too chilly and Jesse Winker's hair looked way too good. We're also talking about the schism dividing the Mets fandom—is it okay to boo Brett Baty, a 25-year-old who never did anything to you and tries really hard? On mic, we forgot to address the actual insanity of Brett choosing "Glory Days"—a song about being excellent at something in high school and then terrible at it as an adult—for his walk-up song. That's for the best. We need to lay of...2025-04-1254 minHits Different38. TGWGTCF, Thank God We're Going to Citi Field!!WINTER IS OVER IF YOU WANT IT As ever, we return to the question, "How many people can Pete Alonso carry out of a burning building?" NOW WE KNOW. The answer is: "At least 25 full-grown, professional athlete-sized men."PETE has the Mets on his back, yet they do not seem to be wearing heavy on him. In fact, he loves it!!! And so do we here at Hits Different. In this week's episode, we're talking about Pete Alonso's reverse-apology tour (he tours, everyone says sorry to him), our plans for the first home...2025-04-0557 minHits Different37. [Brandon Nimmo Tongue-Out Emoji] Mets Are Back!This week on Hits Different: David, Ellen, and Kaitlyn prepare for the 2025 MLB season by talking about almost everything else they can think of for 90 minutes! Almost certainly the words "Dakota Fanning" are uttered more times than the words "New York Mets." Sorry! We're not going to examine this too closely. We're nervous, but definitely not about Brett Baty. We're anxious, but not because AJ Minter is a Braves sleeper agent who has murdered countless ducks. We're agitated, but not so much by our fellow fans who went RETVRN mode over the first two games of the season being...2025-03-231h 32Hits Different36. HOME PETE HOMEPEEEEEEEEEEETEPete Alonso is a New York Met again. Thank you Pete Alonso! No "thank you" to anyone else involved—you have immiserated us for months on end. Ellen, David, and Kait are back on the mic after a long and mentally perilous winter. We're talking about the insurrection at Citi Field otherwise known as "Amazin' Day" and we're talking about PEEEEEEEEEETE.

And What About Pete Alonso?This week on Hits Different, Ellen and Kaitlyn are talking about the next 15 years of their lives. Juan Soto is going to be part of our households. We'll be middle-aged when Juan Soto retires from being a Met. Ellen's son Bobby will be driving a car! Dave is away but he has the same next question as the rest of us: What about Pete? When will the Mets say "Pete—Met for life"? Where is Pete? Why is Pete posting on Instagram about "chlorophyll water"? Pete?This episode was recorded BEFORE we learned th...2024-12-121h 07Hits Different34. Free Agency Fake News SeasonThis week on Hits Different, we're talking about the PowerPoint presentation that's going to convince Juan Soto to sign with the Boston Red Sox and the AI-generated image of him in a Toronto Blue Jays uniform that might change his mind. Every meeting has gone "well" so far—in what way might a meeting between a person hoping to receive $600 million and a group of people hoping to give it to him go poorly? Long story short, every piece of alleged news we saw this week was made up entirely.Except for the true, breaking, and in...2024-11-171h 26Hits Different33. Where in the World Are the Mets?In our first off-season episode, we're talking about the "World Series" which was a "clash of the titans," and we're also Googling and combing the stacks at the library in search of just ONE good baseball ghost story. If you know of any, please email us!! hitsdiffpodcast@gmail.comKaitlyn and Ellen also meticulously research the current whereabouts of the 2024 New York Mets. We miss them all the time! Where are they?? Regrettably, it did not occur to us that if we only waited a little later into Halloween evening we would surely see some of...2024-11-011h 25Hits Different32. Kings of New YorkWe're in "don't cry because it's over" mode ... but we're crying anyway! Our cups runneth over! Some older gents in recent days have compared the 2024 Mets to the 1986 Mets and that's wrong. The 1986 Mets were bad people. Our Mets are heroes and they deserve a rest. The only sad part is we'll miss them so much.This week on Hits Different, we recap the National League Championship Series, in which Francisco Lindor ruined the Dodgers pitching staff's little scoreless inning streak, Sean Manaea struck out Shohei Ohtani three times, and Mark Vientos broke the Mets post-season...2024-10-221h 17
Hits Different31. Mets to CaliforniaIt's Sunday morning in the greatest city in the world and the Mets have given us a little time to breathe and take in 40 different angles of every amazing thing that has happened in the past two weeks.This week on Hits Different, we are stretching our legs and cracking our knuckles and going for another nearly-two-hour pod after a week of harried emergency episodes. We're talking about Garth Brooks's early aughts effort to play Major League Baseball, as well as Ellen's plans for the Grimace tattoo she swore she would get if the 2024 Mets win...2024-10-131h 43Hits Different30. Mark Vientos You Will Always Be FamousFrancisco Lindor says Mark "Swaggy V" Vientos is making himself famous by being incredible, to which we say: Fact check PASSED.This week on Hits Different, Ellen and Kaitlyn recap the first two games of that National League Division Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets. It's an interesting contrast between two fandoms—one of which regards all of this as gravy after an improbably fun year and one of which is maintaining arms caches and vowing to commit mass violence if they don't get their big trophy.Live, laugh, lo...2024-10-081h 25Hits Different29. So Interesting How Sometimes Faith is RewardedA quick and chaotic one for posterity! Ellen calls in from a SAT phone at the Hits Different international bureau located inside of a Danish spa. We have nothing to say really except we can't believe it, but you gotta believe it. These guys are MAGIC. That rally gourd is stupid but we LOVE it. Pete rewarded the faith we had in him all year and as you may know it is not really faith if it depends on rewards but THANK YOU PETE ALONSO. We love you so much.We forgot to do some media...2024-10-0438 minHits Different28. Coffee With the Girls, Day AfterThis is obviously the worst episode of Hits Different by far and we had no plan for it and half of it doesn't make sense. Producer Nathan had notes for us, such as, "You can’t scream into the mic like that at the end of the episode ily" and "Or if you do you have to tell me. You’re gonna blow someone’s ears out" We are so tired! We are so happy! Yesterday, we watched an INSTANT CLASSIC Mets game while doing our laptop jobs.Let's go Mets!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dolls of Our LivesKaitlyn Tiffany, Everything I Need I Get From YouWriter Kaitlyn Tiffany is a smart culture critic, podcasts host, and longtime fan of One Direction. All of these things are almost equally relevant to our episode this month. Her new book, Everything I Need I Get From You, offers insight into the idea of the screaming female fan, from Beatlemania to the present. Tiffany, a longtime follower of 1D, asks important questions about the internet and what it means to be a fan. Why did a 1D devotee make a shrine to Harry Styles’s vomit? What’s at stake in fandom communities on the web? Why have many...2024-10-011h 01Hits Different27. On the Morning of a Braves Double-HeaderWe snuck this one in during the early hours of what may be one of the longest days of our lives!! This week on Hits Different we're talking about how close the Mets' playoffs hopes came to slipping away and how close they have come to re-snatching them back from the jaws of defeat once again. Forgive that metaphor, it's not my best!! Tylor Megill has a chance to become Mets Ty-LORE and potentially have never a bad word said against him again for the rest of his life. Ellen and Kaitlyn have a chance to...2024-09-301h 12Hits Different26. Keep Pete! Pete Stay!Flushing has descended into chaos!! There are 45,000 people drinking beers at the same time and in a place barely built to hold them. There's a one-man band playing The Killers under the subway tracks. There's good reason to think the National Guard could have been on-call. Brandon Nimmo is continuing his series of populist rants on the infield.

Yapping and Feeling a Bit SadIt's LATE NIGHT on Hits Different. Hits Different AFTER HOURS. That's the only way I can think of to summarize the episode—also, to be transparent, I am at work and I don't have time to write anything else. It's Ellen and Kaitlyn on a Sunday night after a few brewskis yapping about the Mets and at times feeling a bit sad.Thank you producer Nathan and let's go Mets!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.2024-09-171h 17Hits Different24. How Many People Could Pete Alonso Carry Out of a Burning Building?We are very, very worried about Brett Baty. We know you don't care—and that's why we're worried. This week on Hits Different, we're talking about a 6-1 week for the New York Mets. We're talking about how hard it would be to snap a baseball bat over your thigh. We're talking about what to send J.D. Martinez and his girlfriend Brooke off of their public baby registry. How about a pack of diapers and a little piece of advice: Make that private, you guys!! Ellen hates "Yankees Suck" chants but free speech is alive an...2024-09-111h 45Hits Different23. Jocks Vs. Nerds, Tale as Old as TimeNo time to write an elaborate description of this week's episode—we're off to the ballpark! It's the last day of summer and the first day of a new series against the Boston Red Sox.[ED NOTE: ONCE AGIN WE APOLOGIZE FOR AN ERROR, THIS ONE OUR WORST YET. THE ORIGINAL AUDIO WAS MESSED UP AND WRONG. WE WERE IN TOO BIG OF A HURRY TO GET TO THE BALLPARK AND WATCH ANOTHER CLASSIC METS WIN. THE AUDIO IS NOW NORMAL. LET'S GO METS.]We forgot to say that Jeff McNeil is looking fo...2024-09-021h 25Hits Different22. The Most Haunted Hotel in Baseball, AllegedlyYou know that stupendously annoying Optimum commercial that plays 150 times during every single baseball broadcast? The Wi-Fi installation lady is like, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, but mostly, times were just okay." That's actually exactly how it feels in Mets world right now: Each week has a true BEST day of our lives, a true WORST day of our lives, the vibes are just okay, nobody around us ever knows what we're talking about, and we're getting a little brain-fried from worry and over-excitement in the dog days of summer. We're like...2024-08-271h 24Hits Different21. John Fisher, if You Know What's Good for You...As daughters of fathers, we will defend the right of Mets' star J.D. Martinez to like photos of Sydney Sweeney's butt on Instagram in the days leading up to the birth of his first child, a baby girl. Mets are girl dads!! Mets don't hate women, they support them!!This week on Hits Different, Kaitlyn and guest host Ellen Cushing discuss the Mets fans on Twitter who believe themselves to be psychics, the Mets fans who are actually psychics (us), and what flavor we would make a Mets-themed breakfast cereal. Also: Luis Severino threw a...2024-08-201h 26Hits Different20. The Mets' Nightmare Road Trip is Blissfully OverThis week on Hits Different, we are joined again by our amazing guest host Ellen Cushing and we somehow find the time to talk about World War II not once but twice. Who will stop us? For the record, David is alive and well and he's issued some corrections on last week's show. We regret the errors. Out of solidarity with the New York Mets and their ridiculously long and upsetting stretch of travel we were actually forced to make this episode almost two hours long...Sadly, the guys didn't fare too well on their road...2024-08-131h 47Hits Different19. The Sun Used to Be Yellow but Now It's WhiteWe're trying something with the episode title this week... some people enjoy a curiosity gap! And for a little insight into the Hits Different Business Operations, our most downloaded episode yet was the one titled "Bryce Harper Spit on WHAT?" We know the Hits Different listeners are not perverts, so we know they weren't clicking because they were titillated. They were clicking because they are intelligent and like to know the answers to questions! I'm sure they can't wait to find out what the government did to the sun!!!Also on Hits Different...2024-08-071h 15Hits Different18. Back in the New York GrooveHits Different has returned from the All-Star Break with MUCH to discuss. (First of all, I had a dream about Adam Ottavino) This week, we've got a very special guest host ELLEN CUSHING, fresh off of a red-eye flight from Anchorage, Alaska, where she took in a crosstown rival game nearly as thrilling as the two in New York City last week and also heard a little bit about a shocking U.S. government action to secretly replace the sun. Thank you Ellen for your service!!!Thank you as always to Producer Nathan and let's go...2024-07-311h 14Hits Different17. Hits Different Draft Based on Names OnlyThe first half of the Mets' season is over and they're now in a Wild Card spot, leading to rampant speculation by sports writers who may in fact be chatbots that Pete Alonso will NOT be traded at the deadline. Duh!! We never even worried about it. What are we worried about? Hardly anything. Just Gunnar Henderson's Leonardo-DiCaprio-in-Django-Unchained cosplay and the future of Joey "Fuego" Lucchesi who was designated for assignment by the Mets last week and has since cleared waivers. So, he's still a Met for now but the President of Baseball Operations already came out in public...2024-07-161h 08Hits Different16. Jeff McNeil Homers Off of Paul Skenes (Only Thing That Happened on July 5)How many hot dogs did you have on the Fourth of July? Sadly, I (Kaitlyn) only had three. But! One of them was the best hot dog ever made. We discuss this and much else on this week's spicy mid-summer episode of Hits Different. Kodai Senga looked fit as a fiddle playing for the Coney Island Franks (special promotional version of the Brooklyn Cyclones) and on Friday, July 5th (legally still part of July 4th), Jeff McNeil homered off of Paul Skenes??? Nothing else happened in that game as far as anyone can recall. Francisco Lindor...2024-07-0956 minHits Different15. Grimace Fever is Sweeping the NationHow long can this "vibes" thing last? At least until the Mets win the World Series! This week, downtown Buffalo was lit up in Grimace purple and the Seattle Mariners were bumping Mets' star Jose Iglesias' new single "OMG" in their clubhouse. The Mets are worldwide, luv. David and Kaitlyn could not let the wild events of the tail end of Pride Month go unremarked upon, so they struggled through absolutely demonic recording and production issues caused by Kaitlyn's decision to be in Salt Lake City, Utah instead of New York where she belongs. Thank you...2024-07-0254 minHits Different14. Bryce Harper Spit on WHAT?It's hot!! It's sweaty! It's sexy! In Syracuse, they cut their sleeves off! In Arlington, the Gay Mets crushed the Texas Rangers, famously the only team in Major League Baseball that doesn't celebrate Pride Month in any way (God said: "losers"). Then Bryce Harper took out his fist and gave it the old "Hawk Tuah" on national television. Boys!! We're blushing!! This week on Hits Different, David and Kaitlyn discuss the dank parking garage that the New York Yankees play in for some reason and we learn that the Washington Nationals didn't want to be "the...2024-06-251h 12Hits Different13. The Gay Mets are Kind of UnstoppableThis 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...2024-06-181h 09Hits Different12. It's a Carnival of Americana 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...2024-06-111h 04Hits Different11. "I Really Don't Necessarily Know What to Think" 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...2024-06-041h 08Hits Different10. Harrison Bader, King of New YorkAt 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 he...2024-05-281h 06
On the BleachersAs She Should (Kaitlyn Tiffany's Version) We find it hard not to be romantic about baseball… and the WNBA and so many sports, really. A podcast about where pop culture and sports culture collide… inspired by the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Culture critic and novelist Zan Romanoff and journalist and Scamfluencers senior producer Sarah Enni discuss WAG swag, our new favorite WNBA players, update on the NCAA paying athletes, and a conversation with The Atlantic’s Kaitlyn Tiffany about the shift from obsessing about boy bands to obsessing about baseball. Links: Meryl Streep (Instagram) NHL star...2024-05-261h 38Hits Different9. Let's Go MeadowlarksThis 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 so...2024-05-201h 03Hits Different8. What Exactly is a Baby Gronk?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...2024-05-141h 09Hits Different7. Florida!!!This week on Hits Different, David and Kaitlyn are, unavoidably: forlorn, wistful, unmoored, hungover, etc.! We have that in common with the Mets and with the heroine of Nancy Lemann's 1992 sexy baseball novel Sportsman's Paradise, the first book in the Hits Different sexy baseball novel book club. (I recorded myself reading like three pages of it in the middle of this episode for some reason.) You can guess what else there is to say this week after the Mets dropped three games to the not-very-good Tampa Bay Rays. Tropicana Field should be razed. The only cool and funny thing...2024-05-071h 06Hits Different6. Quality Start Quintana is BackThis week on Hits Different, David and Kaitlyn talk "football stickers" and Bend it Like Beckham, two of the best things about these two Americans' childhoods even though both are incredibly British. The episode goes on forever because it's been two weeks and we have much to say to each other.It's all connected, and here's how: After a four-game set with the Cubs, the Mets will be going to Taylor Swift's "Florida!!!" to play the Rays. Guess who listened to Taylor Swift when he was in high school and she was in her country music...2024-04-291h 11Hits Different5. Reed Garrett Make Your Instagram Public, PleaseThis week on Hits Different, producer Nathan phones in and fills in for David as a guest co-host. Nathan has been watching baseball at 4 in the morning while in Europe—this has not affected his performance on his work trip!! (Please excuse his audio quality) We talk about Reed Garrett, former Rochester Red Wing, current Mets GUY with the most strikeouts for a relief pitcher in the whole MLB. But why is his Instagram private, preventing us from learning more, more, more? Also: What is wrong with people who sit in the outfield seats, and can you claim a fo...2024-04-231h 04Hits Different4. The Evil Atlanta Braves Are ShakingThis week on Hits Different, we are striking an inadvertently ascetic tone—i.e. there's no groovy intro music for this episode because the guy in the booth is on a work trip to Europe and was therefore asleep when I would have liked him to be editing the show. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!! And we press on, as we always do. We were confused by all of the tweets regarding Nick Castellanos and OJ Simpson, but we got to the bottom of it. We were afraid that we weren't going to be inspired by...2024-04-161h 02Hits Different3. Baseball Will Not Kill AnyoneThis week on Hits Different: David was at the office in Manhattan during the rarest of all things, a New York City earthquake. Kaitlyn was in the path of totality of a once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse. Yet, we knew nothing, and chattered blithely away about baseball cards and "ham-and-eggers" and whether Taylor Swift should have dated Bryce Harper, totally unaware that the Mets were about to win the first game of a four-game series in Atlanta in a very spectacular and frankly unexpected fashion. Nature is so powerful and in comparison we are so small!! This experience...2024-04-091h 08Hits Different2. You Can't Lose 'Em All (Unless You Can)We waited all winter for this.

We speculate about what we'll eat at Citi Field this year, and we wonder whether those "strike probability" calculators on Apple TV broadcasts are totally made up.David's feedback after recording was "we prob did 50 things wrong," and that's right.

Decoder with Nilay PatelHow fandom built the internet as we know it, with Kaitlyn TiffanyThe Verge is all about how technology make us feel. Our screens and our systems aren’t inert, or neutral – they create emotions, sometimes the strongest emotions anyone actually feels in their day to day lives.

The thesis of her book is that online fandom, specifically the hardcore fans of the British boy band One Direction, created much o...2022-06-141h 07
