Evan, Tiki, and Shaun wonder who the Mets' next manager will be. Will interim Andy Green stick around? Or do David Stearns and Steve Cohen have their eyes elsewhere?

Hour 2: Steve Cohen needs to address Mets fans. Somebody with the Mets must have been listening to last night's show.

The New York Mets just hit absolute rock bottom. Following a humiliating, error-riddled sweep by the Chicago Cubs, the season is officially spiraling out of control—and Mike Francesa is pointing the finger squarely at the top. 00:00 Mets Crisis 02:28 Ownership Promises 05:33 Management Decisions 11:14 Accountability Question 18:12 Mets Fans' Frustration 23:00 Call for Leadership

Evan recounts his dream last night in which the Phillies captured a World Series title, while Tiki and Shaun debate the morality of rooting for the Phillies in October.

Evan, Tiki, and Shaun debate how smart David Stearns really is and whether or not he can ever really lead the Mets to a World Series victory. Evan is an unhappy customer as a season ticket holder.

Ralph welcomes political consultant and pollster, Celinda Lake, to outline a ten-point Progressive Contract for America that she and Ralph believe – if adopted by Democratic candidates— will ensure they landslide the Republicans in the midterms. Then, Ben Cohen stops by to fill us in on his “Free Ben & Jerry!” campaign to take back the brand from the conglomerate that no longer retains the social justice values of their original company. Plus, Marine Corp veteran, Matthew Hoh, tells us about the provocative speech he made on Veterans Day entitled “Armistice Day and the Empire.”Celinda Lake is a political strategist and president of Lake Research Partners. She and her firm are known for cutting-edge research on issues including the economy, health care, the environment and education, and have worked for a number of institutions including the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Governor's Association, AFL-CIO, SEIU, CWA, Sierra Club, NARAL, Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood, VoteVets Action Fund, and the Kaiser Family Foundation. Her international work has included work in Liberia, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus Ukraine, South Africa, and Central America.I think [a Compact for America] is a really, really, really important idea, and it's absolutely essential to winning…And it should include concrete economic proposals. And it is noticeable that the two people who won governorships in 2025—Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill—both had contracts with their voters.Celinda LakeDemocrats need to lay out ten concrete proposals and run on them. We have the critique of what's going on. We understand what's happening in real people's lives. The third leg of the stool is offering our alternative—and a concrete alternative that people can pass on to their friends and family, that people can hold us accountable for. And the last of the ten proposals in the contract needs to be something about campaign finance reform. We have to get corporate money out of politics, or our system will continue to be rigged against us and rotting from the middle.Celinda LakeBen Cohen is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and longtime anti-war activist. He is a co-founder of the ice cream company Ben & Jerry's and a prominent supporter of progressive causes. He is co-founder of Up In Arms, a public education and advocacy campaign pushing for a common-sense approach to military budgeting.What's happened is that the company recently got owned by the Magnum Corporation, and the Magnum Corporation has disbanded that independent board of directors. I mean, it's kind of a crazy, stupid move because it's under that independent board (which has legal authority over the social mission and the quality of the product and the use of the trademark) it's under that independent board that the company has grown and done so well. But they've gotten rid of the independent board.Ben CohenWhen Ben & Jerry's was in the midst of trying to fend off this acquisition, there were some new laws that were passed in Vermont that allowed a consideration of the benefit of the community with regard to a potential sale. And after the sale happened, B Corporation started. And I've talked with the founder of B Corp, and he was saying that one of the inspirations for starting B Corporations was what happened to Ben & Jerry's. So B Corporations are a different legal structure for corporations which requires them to take into account the social benefit to the community and legally makes it easier to resist these efforts to have the company taken over.Ben CohenMatthew Hoh is a disabled Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq War and former Afghan War State Department Officer. In 2009, after being appointed to the Foreign Service, Hoh resigned his post in Afghanistan over the Obama administration's escalation of the Afghan War. He is now an analyst and commentator on foreign and military policy issues as a senior fellow with the Eisenhower Media Network. He serves on the advisory boards of many peace organizations, including Veterans for Peace and World Beyond War, and is an associate member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.The United States recognized Armistice Day as a holiday until after the Second World War. And then in the height of the Cold War in the early 1950s, this idea of a holiday dedicated to peace, a holiday dedicated to the abrogation of warfare, a holiday that exposed just how false the motives for war are—oh that was incredibly troublesome. That was very problematic for the American empire (again, at the height of the Cold War). So there was this campaign to rename Armistice Day to Veterans Day. And this way, it became not a remembrance of the horrors of war, of what war entailed, of who profited from war. But rather a celebration of American veterans, that they have won freedoms, they have protected us from overseas enemies—and utilizing veterans, then, as a tool to crush dissent, to silence opposition.Matthew HohClick here to sign up to get a copy of Matthew Hoh's "Armistice Day and the Empire”News 6/19/26* Our top stories this week are about major local progressive victories. Here in Washington, DC Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George – endorsed by a broad coalition of groups including the Metro DC DSA, the AFL-CIO, the Sierra Club and many more – has triumphed in the Mayoral primary. Lewis George trounced her centrist opponent, Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, who was backed both by major local corporate interests, such as the realtor lobby and even the Washington Parking Association, but also Democratic Party power brokers, including two former DNC Chairs. Lewis George, hailed as DC's answer to Zohran Mamdani, won over 50% of the vote in the first round, meaning that while this is DC's first mayoral election under ranked-choice voting, this race will not trigger this mechanism. McDuffie, for his part, won around 36% of the vote, coming ahead of Lewis George only in Ward 3, the wealthiest in the District. While votes remain to be counted, McDuffie has conceded.* Another DSA-backed candidate is poised to win a seat on the DC council. In Ward 1, Aparna Raj appears to have come up just short of 50% but while this means the race will go to a second round of ranked-choice reallocation, given that Raj is more than 25 points ahead of her nearest opponent, her victory is all but guaranteed. This is based upon data from the DC Board of Elections. Raj's impending victory, paired with that of Janeese Lewis George and others like Oye Owolewa demonstrates that the DC DSA is an electoral force to be reckoned with.* In more progressive electoral news, Semafor reports Bernie Sanders has endorsed former Congresswoman Cori Bush in her “comeback” bid for her old seat. Bush, a nurse and Black Lives Matter activist, was a member of the “Squad” in the House before she was defeated by a primary challenge from the right, backed in large part by AIPAC money. With the Republican redistricting in her home state of Missouri, this seat is now the sole remaining safe Democratic seat in the Show-Me State. In a statement, Bush said she was “honored to be endorsed” by Sanders, whom she called a “true leader in our movement to guarantee healthcare, housing, and childcare for all.”* Another much-publicized Bernie endorsement was announced this week: that of Tennessee state Rep. Justin J. Pearson. Pearson was originally running as a primary challenger against longtime incumbent Congressman Steve Cohen in Tennessee's 9th congressional district, but since the state Republicans redrew the districts Cohen has decided to retire, leaving the Democratic nomination to Pearson for the taking. While this district has been drawn in such a way to make it difficult for a Democrat to win, Pearson argues that “You've got a number of disaffected Republican voters, you've got a number of distraught MAGA voters, and you've got fired-up Democrats, which is a perfect recipe for success for us…Because our tent is big enough for everybody who is feeling that this status quo was rigged and broken against working-class folk, and want to see a future that is more just,” per the Intercept.* Elsewhere in the South, the race in Florida's 20th congressional district is descending into chaos. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the powerful centrist Democratic congresswoman who was drawn out of her traditional seat by the recent Republican-led redistricting is now officially running in this district, a move that “disappointed” Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried, according to the Miami Herald. Fried further stated that Wasserman Schultz “[refused] to engage in meaningful dialogue about her decision.” Elijah Manley, the progressive candidate in this race, had harsher words for DWS. In a quote reported by Florida Politics, Manley stated “I'm not surprised that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is carpetbagging to FL-20, a black opportunity district, abandoning her own district and constituents…She is no different than the Republicans that are eviscerating black representation across the South. She is everything that's wrong with the broken unpopular Democratic establishment…I look forward to retiring her from public office permanently.”* Facing down the barrel of this decision, several of the Black candidates running in the 20th convened to discuss a plan to consolidate in order to ensure the district would continue to be represented by a Black member of Congress, as it has been for the past 34 years. However, CBS reports that plan has “fallen apart” as the filing deadline passed with none of the major Black candidates bowing out. This report includes statements from Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who, the piece notes, resigned from this very seat in disgrace earlier this year amid a congressional ethics investigation, saying she is “excited to campaign in the district I have represented for the last 5 years.” Dale Holness, the former Mayor of Broward County, said, “It has to be about policies that produce prosperity for the people.” Elijah Manley, said “I think it's going to come down to who works the hardest, and I think I'm going to work the hardest.” To this end, Manley has recently racked up major progressive endorsements in Florida, including Armando Grundy-Gomes, President of the Democratic Black Caucus of Florida, the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida, through President Matthew Grocholske, and Black Voters Matter lead Florida organizer Jamil Davis. According to the most recent polling, Manley lags behind Wasserman Schultz 21% to 39% in initial ballot testing, but blitzes into the lead 36% to 27% after voters receive candidate biographical information, per Florida Politics.* Another major political story from Florida is the comeback bid of former Congressman Alan Grayson. Grayson, who won a House seat in 2008, lost it in the Tea Party wave of 2010, won another seat, ran unsuccessfully for Senate, and then sought a comeback in 2018 is running in Florida's 7th congressional district, AOL reports. Grayson, known during his time in Congress for his “combative style and frequent clashes with Republicans,” is seeking to unseat scandal-plagued incumbent Republican Congressman Cory Mills. As this piece notes, Mills has “faced allegations ranging from sextortion claims made by a former girlfriend to accusations that he embellished aspects of his military record,” as well as what appears to be clear instances of corruption, such as driving government contracts to entities he owned. However, before these two have any chance of facing off against one another, both will have to get through his own party's primary.* Looking to Latin America, the outgoing President of Colombia Gustavo Petro, has published a fascinating op-ed in the Washington Post. In this piece, President Petro emphasizes how his government – considered one of the most opposed to American intervention in the region – has cooperated with the United States on shared objectives including stopping the “deadly flow of drug trafficking and transnational criminal violence.” Throughout the op-ed, Petro goes to great lengths to talk up Trump and how they have collaborated on mutual goals, even ending the piece by writing that “with continued U.S.-Colombia partnership, we can truly make the Americas great again.” This apparent about face from Petro, culminating in an obsequious appeal to Trump's favor, has led many to speculate about Petro's motivations here, including fear for his own safety, possible persecution within the American legal system or intervention in Colombia if his designated successor Ivan Cepeda ultimately wins the Colombian runoff presidential election this month. Whether or not this stratagem will work remains to be seen, but with Trump, flattery can get you everywhere.* In neighboring Peru, votes continue to be counted in the razor's edge race between Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez. The votes for the election, held on June 7th, are almost completely counted now – the tally stands at 99.38% – and at the moment Fujimori leads by around 39,000 votes. However, around 140,000 votes have been formally challenged, with 60% of those coming from Fujimori strongholds like Lima as well as Peruvians abroad. This from Reuters. Peru's political system has been wracked by instability, with the country going through nine presidents in the last ten years. Another painstakingly close election is unlikely to restore stability no matter who comes out on top.* Finally, we turn to the Middle East, where it seems the numerous parties involved in the latest round of peace talks may have finally reached a deal. According to Al Jazeera, in addition to the US-Iran agreement, rooted in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which includes financial concessions to the Islamic Republic, Israel and Hezbollah are pursuing a ceasefire in Lebanon. However, Israel's notoriously loose interpretation of ceasefire agreements jeopardizes both this deal and MOU. Journalist and expert Rania Khalek states simply that “From Iran's perspective, continued Israeli strikes would be a violation of that understanding.” Vice President JD Vance, who has been intimately involved in these negotiations, expressed a sharp warning to Israel not to jeopardize the deal and risk alienating Trump, their “only ally” left. Trump for his part is already hedging, saying “If it works out, I'm going to take the credit…If it doesn't work out, I'm blaming JD,” per CNN. A report in the Hill indicates that Republican Senators would largely oppose the deal if it were submitted for their approval, but given the increasing concentration of foreign policy powers in the executive branch, it is unlikely the Senate will even be consulted.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

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.

This is the full show for May 15, 2026. Is the Left trying to rewrite the rules of American democracy? Today we dive into the stories and debates that every patriotic American needs to hear. Kamala Harris made headlines after her "no bad ideas" brainstorming webinar revealed a sweeping agenda to restructure America's constitutional foundations — abolishing the Electoral College, packing the Supreme Court, creating multi-member congressional districts, and granting statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico. We break down why these aren't just bad ideas — they're not even new ones, and what they really signal about the modern Democratic Party's relationship with the Constitution. In the news: CIA Director John Ratcliffe's surprise trip to Cuba, Congressman Steve Cohen's retirement amid Tennessee redistricting, and Harvey Weinstein's third trial ends in yet another hung jury. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson weigh in on a viral parenting video where a mom destroys her son's PS5 after he harmed the family cat — and whether tough love is enough when child behavior signals something deeper. Going deep on the FDA's abortion pill review: why the new acting commissioner is promising pro-life leaders action, what Louisiana's lawsuit reveals about states' rights versus federal agency overreach, and why the Dobbs decision hasn't delivered what many pro-lifers expected. Plus: Jeanine Pirro seeks the death penalty in the anti-Semitic murders of two Israeli embassy staffers, a discussion on the Trump-Xi summit and what makes China a different adversary than Iran, teens ditching smartphones for dumb phones, and a lively round of Real News / Fake News.

For more than six decades, baseball's New York Mets have occupied a singular place in American sports culture: eternally overshadowed, perpetually chaotic, strangely lovable, and deeply woven into the identity of New York itself. Born in the aftermath of the departures of the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants, the Mets quickly became something far more complicated than an expansion baseball team. They became a vessel for outer-borough pride, working-class frustration, inherited heartbreak, and the emotional DNA of National League baseball in New York City. In this episode, we dive deep into that history through an expansive conversation with author A.M. (Andy) Gittlitz about his widely acclaimed new book, "Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People's Team." Rather than telling a conventional franchise history, Gittlitz explores the Mets as a social, political, and cultural institution — one shaped by class struggle, labor history, media narratives, urban change, and the shifting identity of New York itself. From the lingering ghosts of the Dodgers to the miracle of 1969, from Shea Stadium dysfunction to the strange mythology of Mets fandom, this conversation explores why the franchise has inspired such fierce loyalty despite decades of collapse, disappointment, and absurdity. We also examine the Mets' complicated relationship with the Yankees, the meaning of "the people's team," and whether the franchise's identity can survive the billionaire-era ambitions of owner Steve Cohen. + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY BUY THE BOOK:  "Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People's Team": https://amzn.to/42BQSHI SPONSOR THANKS:  Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that due to redistricting, a long time Tennessee Democrat is throwing in the towel.

CHICKEN MAN OUT! After 19 years, Rep. Steve Cohen has announced he is stepping down and retiring from Congress ENTIRELY! Cohen blamed the General Assembly’s redrawing of his, mostly black district, into the 3 districts that will favor Republicans. And we pull out the violins. Also on the show: Black Lives Matter held a press conference denouncing Netflix's Kevin Hart Roast where a George Floyd joke was made, Gina Carano and Ronda Rousey have a date in the octagon this weekend, and WVNN's Dale Jackson joins the show.

- Tennessee's redistricting fight blows up the Democratic racial narrative, with the old map scrapped, Steve Cohen on the way out, and a black Republican woman now positioned to take the seat. - Justin Pearson turns the Statehouse into political theater, screaming about oppression while acting out a race-first script the episode treats as pure fraud. - Meghan Kelly and Tucker Carlson are hammered again for suggesting concern about radical Islam is somehow driven by Israel, while the episode insists the threat is domestic, immediate, and undeniable. - Spencer Pratt keeps emerging as the raw anti-establishment force in Los Angeles, landing direct hits on Karen Bass over the fires, the cover-ups, and the city's collapse. - Kamala Harris is cast as the perfect Democratic symbol: rich, insulated, and wildly out of touch, declaring the American dream dead while living a life that proves the exact opposite.

In this episode of The Three Inning Fan Show, Britt Ghiroli, Senior Writer for The Athletic, joins Kelley Franco to discuss the state of the Mets under Steve Cohen and David Stearns, roster construction, clubhouse chemistry, Juan Soto's impact, and the pressure of building a contender in New York. Britt also shares her unique insight on the changing role of MLB managers -- in the wake of the Cora and Thomson firings, why some would-be managers might prefer front office jobs in the future, how analytics are reshaping leadership across baseball, and if managers move to front offices, who manages in the dugout.Britt also shares her incredible accomplishments as a competitive powerlifter and of course…what's good to eat while watching the ballgame.*Music by Podington Bear

Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash dive into a loaded New York sports hour, from Russell Wilson's possible move to CBS to the growing question of whether the Jets should want him anywhere near their quarterback room. The conversation quickly turns into a lively review of Knicks playoff predictions, with everyone at WFAN getting graded on how close they came to calling the series. The Knicks dominate the heart of the episode, with debate over whether Boston or Philadelphia is the better next opponent and why Joel Embiid's history with Karl Anthony Towns could make a potential Sixers matchup must listen drama. The hour also tackles David Stearns backing Carlos Mendoza despite the Mets' disastrous slide, raising bigger questions about roster construction, accountability, and Steve Cohen's public silence.

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 Yankees are showing the kind of urgency and identity that championship teams carry, while the Mets continue searching for answers during another frustrating stretch. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to David Cone's comments about the Yankees playing with an edge after last season's heartbreak and explain why that mindset has become a major separator between the two New York teams. The conversation dives into whether the Mets' roster construction has left them without leadership or chemistry, the growing pressure on Carlos Mendoza and Steve Cohen, and why the Phillies' shocking managerial move only adds more heat to Queens. Plus, the guys discuss the Yankees calling up pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez for his MLB debut, debate the real turning point in the Yankees' latest win, and break down why some teams learn from postseason failure while others stay stuck in neutral.

Should Yankees players be allowed to want an alternate road uniform? Mike Lupica says he wonders how much longer Steve Cohen will deal with losing while spending so much money. Plus Mike Brown needs to get the Knicks winning in a desperate way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
