JJ opens with the Mets getting two big wins against the Braves before getting to the Yankees’ hit brigade against the Rangers (1:16). Then New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang joins to discuss his sports allegiances, why he grew up a Knicks fan but now supports the Nets, his favorite sports moment, and why he’s running for mayor (15:15). Next, JJ chats with The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor about the Knicks-Hawks matchup, why Tom Thibodeau isn’t his Coach of the Year, and who the Nets’ biggest threat is in the East (37:18). Finally, JJ reacts to some listener voicemails (59:52) before breaking down the betting card for the NBA’s opening playoff round and the PGA Championship (1:17:17).
