Chapter 1: What are Paul in Yonkers' thoughts on opening day?
Here he is on opening day, Paul in Yonkers. What's up, Paul? Good morning.
Good morning, guys. Thank you very much. First, before I look like the bad guy, good luck to the Mets today.
Oh, look at that. That's very nice.
Good luck, Mets fans.
Yes.
I got two quick questions for you. Number one, do you think Cohen's going to show up to get his due? Or is he going to send Steve Steins to take all the arrows?
Well, hold on a second. You really think that Steve Cohen's not going to be at his own opening day today?
I don't know why after he destroyed the Mets like he did, he'll show up.
Well, Paul, first of all, Paul, he doesn't look at it like that. A lot of Mets fans do not.

Chapter 2: Will Steve Cohen attend the Mets' opening day?
You do. But I can guarantee you if they put Steve Cohen up on the Jumbotron, there is no way he's getting booed. No way. No way. Okay. Now, I'll tell you, Stearns, I don't think Stearns would on opening day either. But I feel like if you had a poll of which guy turns you off more if you're a Mets fan, it would be David Stearns over Steve Cohen. But I feel like it was all...
That was building up before the Luis Robert Jr. trade, before the Bo Bichette signing. Like, there was before the Peralta trade. Like, all of those feelings about destroying the Mets and letting those guys go was before all of those moves. And I feel like more Mets fans are positive about this group right now than negative, even though you're more negative.
Okay. One more quick thing.
Yeah.
Say Young Award winner DeGrom. The greatest relief pitcher we ever had, Diaz. My buddy, Pete Alonzo. Down the road when I'm in a wall, is Cohen going to retire those numbers at Citi Field?
Pete Alonzo, Edwin Diaz, and who was the other one? Jacob DeGrom. Jacob DeGrom, no. No way. No. No? No. No. Do you think any one of those guys deserves a number of times?
I think if we sat here and you talked about maybe multiple World Series that they took part in, I would say yes, but not under the current set of circumstances, no.
Okay, because I want those guys on my team, and he didn't sign them. All he had to do was sign these three guys. I told him he had to go.
Yeah, well, Paul, I hope to God, Paul, and we love you and have a great opening day and enjoy it and talk to you soon. But I hope to God this team. I don't want to root against Paul or have negative feelings against Paul, but Paul does represent the negative Met fan.

Chapter 3: What is the sentiment of Mets fans towards Steve Cohen?
But today... Of all days, you can't be going in thinking about losing Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo and years ago now, Jacob deGrom and Edwin Diaz. And by the way, it's not just us. If you don't want to believe us, fine. But you know, you bow down to Gary, Keith, and Ron, as well we all do.
Chapter 4: How do Mets fans feel about David Stearns' involvement?
Ron Darling said the same thing.
Edwin Diaz didn't want to be here. Right, exactly. So here's the thing. Here would be the perfect scenario for Paul, I think. And for us. It would be, okay, the Mets make it to the NLCS against the Dodgers, and in Game 7, Edwin Diaz gives up a home run to Jorge Polanco. Yes, right. And we win the game, we go on to the World Series, and we play the Orioles led by Pete Alonso.
And we take them, I don't know, four out of five games, and Pete Alonso strikes out three times in each of the games that he plays in. Oh, God. And then the Mets go on to win the World Series championship, and then we can have Paul call in after that.
Yeah, Paul would probably call in and go, you know, the Mets would have swept them if Pete was on the team. Yes, exactly. They won in five instead of four. Steve Cohen what? Pete and Marilyn, what's going on? Pete.
Boomer and Gio. Oh, yeah. What's happening, Pete? What's going on? I'm so psyched for opening day at 3 o'clock today for the Orioles. I just can't stand it. I think they're going to have a really great team. Alonzo is amazing. Orioles starting pitching is looking much better than last year. All the way around, they've got bats.
You've got Gunnar Henderson, Jackson Holiday, which I believe might be injured right now. But I'm going to go out on a limb and say they win the division. Wow. Maybe with 94, 96. Wow.

Chapter 5: What are the expectations for Mets players this season?
I will say this, that Nick Schritzer told us the other day that he felt like every team in the AL East has improved significantly. Yeah, I don't know. Do you feel like the Blue Jays have improved? I don't know. I don't know if they've actually improved significantly, but Bo Bichette's no longer on that team. Right, exactly.
I mean, so I wonder what the Orioles' over-under is this year compared to the other. I'm going to say, what, 86-and-a-half? 85-and-a-half, yeah. Oh, look at that.
Chapter 6: What insights does Paul share about past Mets players?
Good job.
85-and-a-half.
They got some good players, man, and if Pete ā If Pete does his thing in that baseball park, he should hit a lot of home runs down there.
Yeah. Where are the Yankees in this thing? I can't even. Have you ever been to Camden Yards? Oh, the Yankees are off the board because they played last night. Yes. I've been there multiple times. Yeah, it's a great place. Yeah, once with my family and once with Evan Roberts. That was the first retro, newly built stadium.
I convinced Evan Roberts to get us a penthouse because it was the only hotel room left in in all of Baltimore. And you made him pay for it? Well, he was the host and I was the producer. Oh, he was the big money guy. I was making peanuts at that point. So, yeah, it was amazing. I was scraping two nickels together. But, yeah, I conveyed he did. Well, we were hanging out with Sweeney.
The plan was to drive back to New York after the game, but then we'd go to this bar with Sweeney Murdy afterwards. We were having a great time. And we're like, we can't drive now. We had too many drinks. We're going to get a hotel room. No, no, no, no, no. And this one place goes, well, we have this $3,000 penthouse. And I said, Evan, you got to do it.

Chapter 7: How does Paul envision the Mets' future with current players?
And he had a few drinks. And I'm like, this is your moment. To be a big shot. Right. I mean, think. If you can't make this move here, what is it all for? All the hard work. All the years. You've landed in your dream spot. He's like, let's go. Let's do it. I'm a loser. I mean, it was like a five-bedroom penthouse. He took a bubble bath somewhere that was like 200 yards away from me.
It was incredible. He took a bubble bath. Oh, he was in bubble bath. Yeah. He's like, I'm going to use every amenity in this thing.
Yeah. Think about that. Did he take any stuff home with him?
Probably. I would imagine. Towels and shampoos and everything else. Maybe an entire coffee apparatus.
$3,000 a night in Baltimore?
This room was, I mean.
Do you remember the hotel it was? I don't. He may. Was it the downtown Hyatt? That's the only thing I could think of down there.
He may, probably. But it was, you know.
There's some new hotels down there now.
