Willets Pod 5: Are You There God? It's Me, Lenny Dykstra

The former Mets outfielder's reputation for aggressive nudity leads Allison to ponder theology, while Addy delves into film theory and Jesse pines for the Barcelona version of Pep Guardiola

The Mets are having what can only be described as a bonkers trip to San Francisco, which you can catch up on with Roger Cormier’s tweet threads from Monday night’s rout and Tuesday night’s ridiculous 13-12 affair.

Our latest podcast episode recorded just as the series opener was about to begin out West, and it begins with Jesse hitting record to start the show, then somehow not thinking the show has started. Allison (who has a new installment from Lake Nipples out!) drops some knowledge about Victorian era beachgoing, while Addy debunks a common fallacy about Jacques Lacan’s notion of the gaze and its subsequent application in Laura Mulvey’s cinematic philosophy.

We were going to add Lenny Dykstra’s 1986 NLCS walk-off here as a treat, but searching for it brought up Lenny Dykstra’s 1986 MTV appearance with Roger McDowell, so in the name of Juan Samuel, here’s that, including Dykstra being creepy with Martha Quinn and saying, “I’m a good cheater. … They’ll never know.”

Well…
