On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo look back on a week of winning without much hitting, and also chat with pitching prospect Matt Allan about his long road back to the mound. First up, the guys cover the dramatic series win over the Dodgers, the continued struggles of Juan Soto, the emergence of Brett Baty, and the balancing act between playing both Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens behind the plate. Then, Joe catches up with prospect Matt Allan, who shares his story of a road back from multiple surgeries, and also talks about the changes he’s seen in the Mets organization, and what he’s now seeing from himself in Brooklyn and what could still be ahead for him in 2025. Later, Connor and Joe answer mailbag questions about Jett Williams, Ryan Clifford, narratives around Juan Soto, and the overall issues of the offense.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
