Cautiously Delusional - August 20th, 2026 (Reupload) | We Gotta Believe

First things first, it's me and Kyle.

First order of business, need my sickos to check in.

I see some pre-check-ins before we went live.

I want the check-ins live on the stream because, boys, I think we might have a little bit of a relapse episode.

Kyle, you remember the old relapse episodes we used to have in the early days-

I s-

... of We Gotta Believe?

I started seeing the chatter of, "Well, if the Mets were in the American League, they would have a real puncher's chance to make the postseason." [laughs]

[laughs]

And I was like, "Here we go again."

Oh, goddammit.

Uh, I saw the record, the Mets record yesterday before the game, I believe, was the same as they had in 1973 when they went on their run and made the World Series.

Uh, there was less wild cards, or there, there's no wild cards, but there's also, like, 17 other teams not above them that are currently above them.

We're closer to, I think, last place than, you know, a wild card spot.

But nonetheless, at the very least, like, they're winning games and they're not just winning in boring fashion.

They're doing fun stuff.

They're doing the stuff you like to watch as a fan.

And before we went live, we were just doing a little check-in, and our boy Pavs, I said, "Pavs, are you in? Are you watching? How, how, how, how invested are you?" And he told us he turned his notifications back on, which is like, you know, just a little taste.

He just wants a little taste, so you know, we, we definitely-

Just a hit.

It's, it's an actual drug

... yeah

You just need that little dopamine hit.

'Cause let's be honest, every single Mets fan will tell you, like, they're checked out, they're not watching as much as they would.

You're still pulling up the box score.
