Flushing is Burning, Episode 17: The emotional toll of tanking




Home Run Applesauce: A New York Mets podcast show

Summary: Welcome to Flushing is Burning, a weekly podcast hosted by Grace Carbone and Christian Romo that examines the Mets, queer issues, and the occasional intersection of the two. Now that the Mets are playing for 2024 and beyond, Grace and Christian discuss what tanking means for those still invested in the 2023 Mets. And while it’s not a fun discussion, it still leads to thankfulness for those narrating the way through the rest of the season.  They also talk about some Justin Verlander gossip leaked to the New York Post, as well as speculate on which Mets player could have been behind the leak. And while they couldn’t find an easy transition, they also touch on the Wander Franco accusations.  Also, Christian watched Asteroid City! He has some thoughts, and Grace dives into a movie this week that is the complete opposite of Asteroid City.  Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingIsBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com.  As always, you can listen or subscribe to all of our Home Run Applesauce podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.
