Hello and welcome to talking baseball. My name is John boy. I got my best friend in town with me. His name is Jake. Jake

How you doing? I'm good, Jim. How you doing, brother? I'm good. I was trying to queue up the song. We don't have it queueed up, but little talking baseball.

This is a terrible version. Oh my god. Yeah. Oh, here it is.

Should this be our theme song? We haven't decided on this.

I mean, wouldn't it be bad? It's like a real song.

We'll just do that 15 seconds. Welcome to talking baseball. This is the first episode we're streaming live on YouTube for our patrons. It should be up on all podcast apps soon.

Every Monday, every Friday, we will be coming to you. We have some experience in the podcast world. We have a talk in the Yanks podcast. That's right. We are Yankee's fans. I think we won't be the Yankee fans. You expect us to be, which is a good thing.

So there's that. And we have a bunch of podcasts on the network. This is our newest endeavor. We are excited. We've been putting a lot of work into it. Jake, how are you?

I'm good. Yeah. I don't have Yankee's fan. I don't know what you're talking about. I think I think the people find I'm just a neutral baseball fan with no biases at all. Go rocks.

Huge Rockies fan, huge Blue J's fan. I mean, I got the ink on my skin for a reason. And yeah, man, it's exciting. We, uh, we've always kind of been baseball nuts.

I think it's kind of funny how the life cycle comes in with baseball a little bit like, I don't know when you start out working in the real world, you don't watch as much baseball as he used to when you were living a fake life, whether as a kid, high school college, whatever it may be.

And now we got sucked into this Yankee's world and now we're in baseball world. And I think we're going to let it rip. I think our, our voices is what baseball is looking for, man, baseball is still cool and fun and like a good time.

But I mean, even you and I were getting fed up with and well, I guess we'll start here, but the ESPN broadcast the last night's baseball Dodgers Red Sox last year's World Series goes 12 innings.

And they were just leaning so far into the like, oh my God, 12 and we're still here. Are they going to turn the lights off? And it's like, it's kind of cool though.

I have this is a, I don't want to get in my cell.

Let's go to the whole tangent anyway, baseball is a problem where the people that have the most influence about baseball downplay at all the time and say it's this boring terrible sport.

And it's like you have all the authority to spread the cool and the fun. And we have a Sunday night baseball game tied up in the 12th inning with some weird plays at the plate and outs on third.

And it's like an interesting game and the crew was talking about how brutal it was and we should just do ties and like think about this.

If that was like a Sunday night basketball game and it was LeBron and Kauai and they were in like triple overtime.

Like everyone would be on Twitter like get over here now.

Who these guys are doing it? Meanwhile on the broadcast. They're basically saying we're trying to get out of here. When's the who concert? So I don't know. I think I think our intro is there.

At one point at one point on the broadcast.
