Jason Vargas is here, actual baseball is almost here, and Abbey Mastracco was here on a new Good Fundies!

First, Roger said goodbye to Matt Reynolds (04:30) before the boys got into the Jason Vargas signing (09:20), realized it was a new episode of "That's Not What We Meant!" (11:15), and thought there is more optimism to the Mets then there was three weeks ago (21:00).

Then, Mets beat writer Abbey Mastracco from NJ.com/NJ Advance Media joined in (29:30). She talked about Vargas' Dirtbag days (32:20), the difference between a Terry Collins spring training and a Mickey Callaway spring training (35:00), trying to solve the enigma that is Rafael Montero (43:00),Tim Tebow (46:20), her IMDb credit and Will Ferrell (50:00), Mike Scioscia (54:00), Wilmer Flores: Outfielder (56:10), Yoenis Cespedes and water (01:02:20), David Wright (01:07:00), not lying about PJ Conlon (01:08:00), if Mickey Callaway is for real (01:14:30), the perfect tagline for Twitter (01:18:30), Todd Frazier's unintentional imitation of one of the 'Friends' characters (01:23:20), which Met has the best beard (01:25:40), and practically everything else.

In the mailbag, the boys were asked if Wheeler will get suspended for self-injecting bone medicine (01:35:30), who the best and worst Met in the Winter Olympics would be (01:37:10), their thoughts on a lot of teams tanking (01:40:00), which Met pitcher should start Opening Day (01:44:30), their thoughts on the Trump Jr shark photo (01:48:00), if Roger will ever not be 'The Other Guy' (02:01:00), and if Wilmer Flores is a better outfielder than Montero as a pitcher (02:03:15)
