On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are joined by Jon Hurwitz, co-creator of Cobra Kai, Harold & Kumar, and a die-hard Mets fan, to talk about movies, the Mets, and more. Jon reveals what it was like ending Cobra Kai and also working with John Cena, before revealing what it was like hanging out with Joe and Connor in spring training! Jon also talked to the guys about becoming a Mets fan, how he found out the news of Juan Soto’s signing, the best Mets games he’s ever attended, and some 2025 predictions - while also helping to review and grade Joe’s performance on the SNY broadcast of the Mets Spring Breakout game. Later, Connor and Joe go Down on the Farm for a full recap of the prospects in Sunday’s game, and answer Mailbag questions about pitch shape and lesser-known prospects on the rise.
