Evan and Tiki shift from Knicks fever to Mets frustration as a new parody song takes aim at David Stearns and the struggling offense. The crew debates whether Stearns actually hears the criticism, why athletes and executives should avoid the noise, and how Mets fans are trying to find fun in another rough stretch. The hour closes with a mix of Citi Field chaos and Knicks Finals excitement, from Bobby Valentine disguise night to a wild caller idea for Steve Cohen to raffle off his Knicks tickets to Mets fans. Evan runs with the concept, imagining a way to pack the ballpark by turning every scanned ticket into a chance at the hottest seats in New York.

What's a recession indicator you've noticed?Lately, one answer keeps resurfacing online: "You can see celebrities' ribs again." And as unserious as that sounds at first, history suggests it may not be entirely wrong.In this episode, I dive into Ozempic, recession aesthetics, quiet luxury, heroin chic, and the return of thinness as a cultural ideal. From celebrity weight loss trends to the politics of appetite, I explore how beauty standards shift during periods of economic anxiety, social instability, and cultural fear- and why women's bodies so often become the place where those anxieties are projected.Are.

The Mets actually won a series against the Angels this weekend so hopefully this is the start of them winning games again.

David Stearns backs Carlos Mendoza as the Mets take a series from the Angels, followed by a caller's pitch for a Boomer & Gio vs. WIP watch party. Jerry covers Aaron Judge's big game and Ben Rice's injury, Gary Cohen uses a big word for a Carson Benge catch, and Sal Licata confuses himself on his podcast. We get breaking news and further reflect on the passing of John Sterling.

Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash react to the breaking Mets news that Carlos Mendoza is not in imminent danger of losing his job, despite the team's ugly slide and another frustrating managerial decision. The conversation turns quickly from Mendoza's status to the bigger issue facing the organization, with David Stearns under pressure to explain how this roster got here and why fans should believe a turnaround is coming. The episode digs into accountability at the top, from Stearns' roster construction to Steve Cohen's public silence when things go bad. Evan and the crew debate whether a managerial change could still become inevitable, why a simple vote of confidence may not be enough, and how the Mets' upcoming road trip could intensify the scrutiny around everyone in charge.

The vibes in Queens are anything but steady right now. With injuries piling up across the roster and key contributors dropping left and right, the Mets are starting to look more like a MASH unit than a contender. Is this all setting the stage for Carlos Mendoza to take the fall? We dive into whether David Stearns could be lining up his manager as a scapegoat amid a spiraling situation that goes far beyond just the dugout.Despite the chaos, the Mets did manage to take the opener against Washington—but even in victory, the same issues continue to linger. An offense that simply can't deliver in big spots, lifeless at-bats, and a lack of identity at the plate are becoming the defining traits of this team. How much longer can this approach continue before real changes are made?We break down the latest injuries, what it means for the roster moving forward, and whether there's any realistic path to stabilizing things before the season slips away. Buckle up—because things feel like they're heading toward a breaking point in Queens.Follow on INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE & X: @cupofmetsSubscribe on SPOTIFY, APPLE, OR WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR FAVORITE PODCASTS!Download The SeatGeek App!

Romans 5:6-11 We Have Been Saved from Sins Penalty (vv. 6-7) Despite our weakness Regardless of our ungodliness We Are Saved from Sins Power (v. 8) The demonstration of Gods love for us The determination of Gods love for us The deliverance by Gods love for us We Shall be Saved from Sins Presence (vv. 9-11) Saved from Gods wrath Saved by Christs life Saved to rejoice More to Consider D.M. Stearns in Present Day Theology writes: "If you wish to know whether a man is a theologian, turn to his Greek Testament, and if it opens of its own accord to Romans 5, or you find the page warm and brown, you may safely set him down as a devotee of the sacred science.". S. Lewis Chafer A poor criminal stood before an Eastern monarch, trembling for his life. A moment later his head was to be severed from his body. He asked for a drink of water. They brought it, but his hand trembled so that he could not drink. The king cried to him, "Do not be so alarmed; your life is safe till you drink that water." In an instant the glass was shivered on the pavement and the water untasted, and looking boldly up to the king, the condemned man claimed the royal word. The monarch smiled bitterly, and said, "You have fairly won your life: I cannot break my word even to you. You are saved.". Selected Watchman Nee tells about a new convert who came in deep distress to see him. "No matter how much I pray, no matter how hard I try, I simply cannot seem to be faithful to my Lord. I think I'm losing my salvation." Nee said, "Do you see this dog here? He is my dog. He is house-trained; he never makes a mess; he is obedient; he is a pure delight to me. Out in the kitchen I have a son, a baby son. He makes a mess, he throws his food around, he fouls his clothes, he is a total mess. But who is going to inherit my kingdom? Not my dog; my son is my heir. You are Jesus Christ's heir because it is for you that He died." We are Christ's heirs, not through our perfection but by means of His grace. Watchman Nee. The story is told of a monastery in Portugal, perched high on a 3,000 foot cliff and accessible only by a terrifying ride in a swaying basket. The basket is pulled with a single rope by several strong men, perspiring under the strain of the fully loaded basket. One American tourist who visited the site got nervous halfway up the cliff when he noticed that the rope was old and frayed. Hoping to relive his fear he asked, "How often do you change the rope?" The monk in charge replied, "Whenever it breaks!". Daily Walk, March 30, 1992.

In this week's episode, we sit down with Elsie Stearns, Vice President and Sr. Branch Manager of Centennial Bank on Pine Island, to hear the story of how a young woman from the city fell in love with island life — and spent decades giving back to the community she came to love.

Recording live from IDOC Connection in Orlando, I sit down with Dr. Todd Cohan, Sadie Blair, and Polly Stearns from Forsight Vision and Midwest Dry Eye Center to talk about the relationship between vision and execution inside a growing private practice. We go into the dynamic between the owner (visionary) and the operations lead (integrator), and why that chemistry matters more than most doctors realize.   We discuss leadership cadence, how they structure weekly meetings, how goals are set and tracked, and what it looks like to invest in developing internal talent. We also unpack the real risk and reward of moving a top producer into a leadership role, how they think about KPIs and staff engagement, and the systems they use to keep everyone aligned.   If you're thinking about growth, delegation, or strengthening your leadership bench, this episode will give you a practical framework to consider.   Resources: Harnessing the power and momentum from optometry meetings with your operations manager: a conversation with Dr. Todd Cohan & Sadie Blair Ted Lasso: "Be curious, not judgemental" Book a Triage call with Adam Download the Practice Owner's Financial Toolkit 20/20 Money Ultimate Financial Success Masterclass OD Mastermind Interest Form Check out Adam's new book: How to Buy an Optometry Practice Midwest Dry Eye Center Forsight Vision   ————————————————————————————— Please rate and subscribe to 20/20 Money on these platforms Apple Podcasts Spotify ————————————————————————————— For past episodes of 20/20 Money with full companion show notes, please check out our episode archive here!   Check out Adam's other podcast!
