Hello and welcome to talking baseball.

Jake has gone gallivanting in Europe, but we got someone much better in his seat.

It's John Boy, hello.

You got a pitch to me.

Keep wrong strong, we're a baseball class. You got to pitch to me.

Keep Armstrong, we're baseball classes. Hello and welcome to talking baseball off-season edition, super team addition.

I don't know what you want to call it, but we do have a special guest gracing us with his presence.

You guys all know and love him and miss him a ton.

That is Jimmy O'Brien, aka John Boy,

aka the boss man.

I appreciate you coming on today.

I know you're a little under the weather.

But other than that, how you feel in that? Yes, my voice might sound different to many. No voice. I'm all right. You know, I wake up

feeling like awful. I got three kids and the cold's going through. We had a big warehouse shoot.

And then it fades. So like in like an hour or two, I'm going to feel great. And then at night,

it's, you know,

classic sickness. The warehouse gets everybody. It's just part of it. You got to suck it up and just get through it. Yeah. But yeah, if you're going into it with something like battling a cold and going to the warehouse, you know it's only going to get worse. I do want to give a shout out to our guy, Jake. I've been semi-texting him.

He's in Italy, just kind of like doing his thing. He said he might never come back, but everyone always says that when they travel abroad. I was, uh, yeah, I was texting him catching up. He did,

seeing what cities he's going to. It doesn matter where you go in italy i that's my

hottest take just go there and you're going to have a good time there's places in italy that

you go because you have to go but if i would to do if you were to do a second trip and i'm talking

about venice i mean that that's just like a town on garbage water.
