Flushing is Burning, Episode 28: No More Predictions Nov 09, 2023

Show notes

The Rangers have won the World Series, and the 2023 MLB season is officially a wrap! Grace discusses the end of the World Series, and her inability to predict anything. The fan reaction in Texas is tremendous, and who knows when there will be another first time winner. Grace also touches on the ridiculousness of complaining about television ratings as fans.

Then, Grace goes into the Mets offseason, with the manager spot being the most pressing concern. This episode was recorded prior to the Counsell/Mendoza news breaking, so she clearly has no idea what’s coming. She touches on some minor moves the team has made thus far, and what they could be looking at in free agency, both for open spots and to improve in other places.

Finally, Grace begins concretely thinking about what the offseason will look like for the podcast, and the balance between baseball coverage, queer news, and movie stuff will look like in the drier months. Finally, another Noirvember movie minute, with an impromptu double feature recommendation.

Flushing is Burning: Can Everyone Please Just Act Normal? Nov 03, 2023

Show notes

Grace leads off the episode talking about the first two games of the World Series. There's great stories, great performances, and a terrible joke from Justin Verlander's brother. Where it goes from here, who knows?

Then a switch to some general sports news. First, the Pride Tape ban has been repealed! Thanks to the courage of Travis Dermott, and the ineptitude of the NHL, the ban lasted not even a single game and now players can do as they please (with regards to their stick tape) yet again. Then, in a more downer note, Dwight Howard has been accused of sexual assault, but because it's a man accusing him people have lost their collective minds. There's thoughts on the nature of rape jokes and culture when it comes to the straight perspective on gay issues, and also the bonkers take from Deadspin that these assault allegations are ruining a big moment for LGBTQ athletes.

Finally, a multi-minute, multi-movie movie minute! First, Grace talks about the joy of seeing Academy Award nominee and hot upcoming star Paul Mescal in a Mets hat. She recommends a movie of his and a movie of the OG Mets hat movie star king Leonardo DiCaprio. Then Grace wraps up with her real movie minute, one that kicks off the start of the so-called "Noirvember."

This week, we begin by discussing the latest on Craig Counsell, who is reportedly “serious” about his interest in the Mets’ managing job. We also talk about the latest reporting on the investigation into the Mets, potential front office hires, and the fact that Tommy Pham can’t seem to stop talking about the Mets.

Next, we talk about the World Series, the fireworks from the ALCS, and Dusty Baker’s retirement.

We also react live to Mookie Betts’ comments about Trevor Bauer, which emerged while we were recording the show.

Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Flushing is Burning: Ramble On Oct 26, 2023

Show notes

It's another boring playoff week, but a bit of Mets news gives Grace something to talk about. There's a bit of manager news, some awards and nominations, and a former Met retirement. Plus a lot of Grace struggling to remember past World Series winners for some frat radio content.

Then, Grace takes a look at the two playoff series running at the time of recording. The ALCS with its drama between Adolis García and Bryan Abreu, and Grace takes a stand on FIB's rooting interests in the series. And the NLCS with a fun back and forth between the Phillies and Diamondbacks. Grace then takes a stand on the Phillies' song choice for their playoff run.

Finally, Grace looks ahead at what the show can do post-playoffs, with a long winter ahead. And since Grace is bad at math and reading calculators, you get two movie minutes for the price of one to celebrate the end of October.
