Can you believe the Mets and Yankees play baseball this weekend?! It's that time of the year again as New York's baseball teams are in Florida preparing for the 2026 season.

Believe it or not, the Mets and the Yankees do have a lot of similarities heading into Opening Day next month. There are question marks surrounding both pitching staff, whether it's the starters or relievers. There's also a tremendous amount of pressure on both teams to go on playoff runs.

For the Mets, can the new faces elevate this team to the next level. For the Yankees, can they rely on the same faces to bring them back to the top of the American League?

Larry Fleisher joins us this week for the Yankees segment.

The NFL season is officially in the books, and Super Bowl 60 is in the rearview mirror. This week on Two Dummies That Just Watch, Will Hernandez and Erik Pimentel recap the big game from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, where the Seattle Seahawks handled the New England Patriots and secured their second Super Bowl title in franchise history. It wasn’t a classic, but it still gave us plenty to chat about—what worked, what didn’t, and what it means heading into next season.

From there, the Dummies hit the NBA trade deadline, where the New York Knicks made a sneaky-good move by landing Jose Alvarado, the Brooklyn native finally suiting up for the team he grew up rooting for. Plus: what’s going on with the Brooklyn Nets, and the messy situation surrounding the decision to move on from Cam Thomas.

At halftime, Will and Erik switch gears into real-life talk: why suburban public transportation options can be so brutal.

On the back half, it’s hoops and nostalgia with St. John’s basketball and the college teams they’ve stuck with through the years. Then it’s Mets Spring Training time—complete with the Dummies’ all-time Mets lineup. And because it’s a Will-and-Erik episode, you already know it ends in wrestling: a pro wrestling Mt. Rushmore for the most memorable jobbers/enhancement talent.

On this episode of Two Dummies That Just Watch, we kick things off with the 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame voting controversy — and how the process may have kept Bill Belichick out on the first ballot (including the “80% / 40-of-50 selectors” detail and why the Hall put out a warning about leaks). We also get into the Eli Manning debate and what “first ballot” really means in the NFL context.

From there, we shift to Super Bowl 60 with preview of the New England Patriots vs. the Seattle Seahawks — including the Vegas line, over/under, and our picks

And because it’s Super Bowl week, we close with a super-fun Mt. Rushmore of memorable Super Bowls, hitting everything from the Super Bowl LI comeback to Super Bowl XLVI, plus classic moments like the blackout game and the John Elway “helicopter” play.
