Learn how to dodge scams to protect your money, then understand how to compare robo vs. traditional investment risks. What should you do if your credit card is compromised in a scam? Are robo-advisors riskier than traditional brokerage accounts? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss how to spot and respond to identity theft and dig into how robo-advisors stack up to traditional investing platforms to help you protect your financial life. They kick off Smart Money’s new Scam Stories series by welcoming guest Scramble Hughes, a circus performer and scam victim, who shares a real-life experience with credit card fraud. They discuss tips and tricks on recognizing red flags like mass spam messages, acting fast by calling the number on your card (not clicking links), and filing credit freezes with all three credit bureaus. Then, investing Nerd Bella Avila joins Sean and Elizabeth to discuss how robo-advisors compare to traditional brokerage accounts. They discuss risk levels in automated portfolios, SIPC insurance protections, and key factors to consider when choosing a platform like account minimums, platform stability, and user experience.

Just because the Mets held a team meeting and lost in yet another blowout, it didn’t mean National League Town wouldn’t try its luck at meeting. Here, we have Jeff Hysen getting together with original co-host Greg Prince to try and figure out why the f-word (frustrating) is so gosh darn prevalent in Mets fans’ thoughts these days. NLT has no good answers to the club’s pitching and hitting woes, but at least nobody’s ERA rose or OPS sagged while this episode was being recorded. Our Amazon link: https://amzn.to/4eyppvL…

Click and refresh all you like. Juan Soto is not yet a Met. Whether or not he will be is the steamiest Remains To Be Seen component of this Hot Stove season, but there are other matters to preoccupy Mets fans everywhere, including the ones at National League Town. Will Pete Alonso stay? Will most of our rotation go? Who will move to new positions? What heretofore total stranger will play his way into our hearts next year? Greg and Jeff have no conclusive answers, but that won’t stop them from thinking out loud. Also, they remain very high on the value of Francisco Lindor.…

The bases were loaded. Mark Vientos was up. Then the bases were unloaded and the Mets were soon on their way to tying the National League Championship Series at one game apiece. Sound familiar? A Mets fan could get used to clutch postseason grand slams when not squirming uncomfortably while crossing fingers, toes and everything else that a sizable lead doesn’t shrink, let alone vanish. The emotional whirlwind is all part of the rich tapestry of October baseball that continues to make for a month like few others in Mets history.

On a show where parallels to 1969 are invoked repeatedly, Greg and Jeff conclude it’s quite possible the 2024 Mets aren’t miraculous so much as they are good. Whatever they are, they have entered the final week of their season positioned to do Amazin’ things, and when set against how this season began, we can understand why we just brought the word “miracle” into the conversation.…

National League Town remembers Ed Kranepool, a Met presence like no other. We also look ahead to the next steps of a playoff chase that couldn’t be much tighter; share a few things we learned from an afternoon at the library; and toast a very happy couple

September’s Meaning Implicit 40:59

We’re in the month that matters with games that matter, assuming you’re the kind of person who aligns your shirts or your thoughts to bring your team luck. The Mets are making September matter deeply thanks to, among other things, airtight defense, which Greg and Jeff salute...as they do Francisco Lindor (something that’s become a habit). The question ultimately permeating National League Town’s discourse most this week is less “how will Jeff McNeil’s absence impact the depth of the lineup?” and more “how could a wonderful young couple plan their wedding without consulting the Mets’ schedule?”…

August encompassed a heckuva schedule, yet the Mets survived it quite well. After two West Coast road trips, the club finds itself in the thick of a September playoff race, which means Greg and Jeff find themselves on the edge of their seats rather than nodding off on the couch.

Contending With the Unknown 44:26

After a month of running in place, do the Mets have what it takes to get it in gear and go after a postseason berth in earnest? That, as they say, is why they play the games. Greg and Jeff try to sort through the particulars of a team that wins one, loses one, rinses, and repeats a little too often. National League Town also pauses to remember a coach who served five Mets managers and ran the show himself for a week when one season ended, the late Mike Cubbage.…

The Road Hit Back 46:43

The Mets hit the road and, by the time they got through in Seattle, the road hit back. Fortunately, three losses 3,000 miles away, no matter how offensively inept, count only as three losses, and the Wild Card is still very much within reach. Mets fans will never retrieve the sleep they lost staying awake across time zones, but that’s how following baseball works. Greg and Jeff attempt to sort it all out. Plus the problem with the appeal play; the Met who never drove in another Met; and much more!…

Greg and Jeff call the Francisco Lindor Appreciation Society to order, but first clear away other business, namely how much fun tracking the Mets through a playoff race has become and how much better the Mets might be as a result of their trade-deadline machinations. As for our superstar shortstop, how much more can one Met do? Lucky for us, we’ll have a bunch of years to find out.…

Go Figure 39:49

Virtually unstoppable team gets stopped by the only two National League opponents who aren’t trying to make the playoffs. High-charged offense wins only when it scores one run. A roster we’ve come to serenade (“OMG”) is simultaneously a group we’re anxious to see change somewhat in the coming days. Yes, the New York Mets are a hard team to figure out, but Greg and Jeff do their best as the trade deadline approaches. They also do their best to watch the Hall of Fame ceremonies while a game is on; make sense of the rest of the 2024 never mind 2025 schedule; and invoke a trio of past Mets who share what has suddenly become a highly newsworthy name.…

Jeff tuned into Peacock so Greg didn’t have to watch a baseball documentary he probably wouldn’t have enjoyed as much as he did the 1990 Mets. In honor of the AM start the Nats schedule every year on the Fourth of July, Greg gets clockwise with Jeff. And Jeff pulls three vintage Mets from a stack of baseball cards so Greg can articulate what made them at least a little memorable.…
