The Bart and Carlin Podcast delivers a lively, sports-packed hour covering the Yankees and Mets' recent performances, fan frustrations, and cultural curiosities. The hosts dissect the Mets' resilience despite Juan Soto's oblique injury, praising offensive depth and strong bullpen performances, while expressing cautious optimism about their early-season form. On the Yankees side, they critique the bullpen's inconsistency and the team's inability to capitalize on leads, especially after a frustrating Easter Sunday game delay that left fans waiting hours.
