The boys of Good Fundies broke down the Todd Frazier signing and had a talk with relief pitcher Kevin McGowan!

Brian and Roger talked about newest Met Todd Frazier's real birthplace (04:45), their initial and current reactions to the signing (09:25), what the team has to do the next to compete (16:25), what to expect from Frazier in 2018 (23:00), his weird walk rate spike (25:30), his barrels (43:00), and where the Mets stand now (55:00).

Then the two conversed with New Hampshire's own Kevin McGowan. The pitcher talked about his new manager Mickey Callaway and pitching coach Dave Eiland (01:07:00), growing up hating the Yankees (01:10:00), striking out Kris Bryant (01:12:00), pointing at home runs (01:14:00), AJ Ramos' Instagram videos (01:17:30), his listed height (01:18:50), the Super Bowl and his beloved Patriots (01:23:30 for an eerily accurate prediction), It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (01:26:00), finding housing in the big leagues (01:28:00),the non-joys of travel (01:30:00), the legend of Matt Reynolds (01:31:30), cutting his hair like Jacob deGrom (01:32:00), pitch clocks and bullpen carts (01:33:15), growing up watching Pedro Martinez pitch (01:37:30), Franklin Pierce trivia (01:47:00), what he would change to Major League Baseball (01:48:00), fear but not loathing in Las Vegas (01:52:45), being roommates with Amed Rosario (01:57:30) and Dominic Smith (01:59:45), and so much more goodness.

Then the boys pontificated on David Wright's future (02:10:00), if Tim Lincecum should be given a shot (02:14:00), and if they should ask Matt Reynolds or Rafael Montero to guest on the podcast next (02:17:00).
