 Katie, can you count everyone? I don't think we've got everyone. What's up? How's everyone doing? Nice shirt, Chapin, look great. A little bit of housekeeping, a little bit of catching up. We'll do the around the horn with everyone. Some little housekeeping stuff. My shirt is great. It's kind of silly how little the goalie... The presence of the goalie does more than the goalie. The presence of the goalie does more than the goalie. I want a quick Dr. Brown's original cream soda review. Not a soda drinker, but I wanted something with a little more flavor. They have a Statue of Liberty, Dr. Brown. What's up with sodas needing to come from doctors? Dr. Pepper. Who's Dr. Brown? Whoever makes this soda, he's been making it since 1869. Was it because they would like the local pharmacy would also make the sodas? Why are all the sodas docked anyway? It's a cream soda, which I don't really know what that is, but it's good. End of review. Audio trick or joke for the people listening. It was just a robot saying, hodge podge. Is that LL? Ladies' love. Cool James. You could be called S-L-L Cool James. No, no, no. Some ladies love Cool James. My first login at my first job, C-E-D. Login. My first login on my computer. My login name was LL Cool James. Like at the office. Who gave it to you? I did. I was like, boy, you can't do that. I should have learned Jake's story. How old were you? 21, I don't know. Why'd you do that? He's a dumb, dumb guy. Jesus. That's weird. Yeah. Imagine if we hired a 21-year-old and he made us like, we're like, what do you want your Gmail? It's a final test. He failed. It's funny. What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to Talking Yanks. It's June 22nd as we record this June 23rd as you listen to it unless you are a Patreon member. Jake is sitting next to me. I am sitting next to him. BBD is in the studio and still not a good look on the baseball front, Jake. We got big news yesterday. Players rejected the 60 games and all the frills and the MLB actually was pretty nice and said, okay, we'll still do 60 games, no frills. So I don't know. In a way, I think the... I got to really figure out my thoughts. I was so high when this got announced last night. I saw my Twitter and my phone blow up and Katie and I were both exhausted, so we gummied up and were just watching. This is the end on Netflix or whatever it was on. And I was really worried that Jake or Trevor were going to be like, we need to get on the pod right now because I was like, oh, I can't. But I haven't really figured out. Players think I'm very happy with the two positions. I think I'm happy with what happened from both sides, which is fucking bizarre because it still sucks from both sides. I had a lot of figuring out to do. Hey, just talking to Jimmy. No, baseball's back. Kind of. They're still figuring out the final details. It's good. It's good. 60 games. It's OK. The only part that sucks because it was exciting that it came back. I was running hot. I was retweeting some of my classics last night. Jeff Passon dancing. DJ LeMayhew home run. I found a video the night before when the Yankees won in the ALCS where I was just drinking a beer and being real weird. So that was fun. I was feeling all those emotions. The only part that sucks is like they basically agreed to the agreement in March and they've just dragged the sport through the mud through three months. But it's all right. We need a couple more details. And yeah, I think we're going to play baseball and then we'll be back in nasty CBA talks in a couple months. Soda review number two. We're going with Refresco's Country Club. Naranja. Naranja. Orange soda. From the Dominican. Looks like the old Spitfire logo. Every 11-year-old in 2001 thought Spitfire was the coolest. Oh yeah, that tastes just like every other orange soda. Pretty good. OK, so I've been caught. Jake is watching Donald Duck. So I saw Mullen Arrow. He had a tweet, we all had an uncle who could do an incredible Donald Duck impression. And I always thought I could do a Donald Duck impression, but I kind of forgot what he sounds like. Just walked in and Jake's watching Donald Duck clips. Wow, wow, wow. If that's it, I did it. I'm out of there. Why does Donald Duck wear a towel but not pellets? Hey, guys. Is that Mickey? Hey, guys. He's like more high-pitched. I should be able to do Donald. Coming to you soon. Jake doing Donald. I gotta go make fun of some fucking people who love a sport. Finally underwater hockey gets some love. Shit, he's making fun of us. That was damn time. Turkey beats Great Britain, which I don't know if that was an upset or not. It just looks like humans in a fish tank. Not weird as that. I haven't prepped really anything besides one joke. I don't know. It feels weird because, you know, this sport sucks, but I don't want to share on people's favorite sport. Well, like, no part of me thinks, oh, yeah, that's enjoyable to watch or that's enjoyable to play. But I can't swim, so, you know. I think it's a pretty niche audience. Like, I think the only reason you play it is if you're already a swimmer but you're not good at water polo or swimming, but you can work to something different. I think the only reason you watch it is if you have a loved one that plays. Huge upset. Turkey is about to absolutely destroy Great Britain in underwater hockey. That's right. This is underwater hockey. It's basically a bunch of water polo players got high and said, what if we did this under the water? 3-0 and this guy's gonna say, yes, it was a goal and the crowd's gonna say, oh, okay, cool. We will cheer now. We couldn't see. We couldn't see because it was underwater. That's awesome. We didn't know because they're underwater. We couldn't see anything but the top of the water. That's it. Did I go too hard on underwater hockey? They're underwater. We couldn't see anything but the top of the water. I bet people are gonna comment and be like, they put it on the jumbo tron. They can see the underwater footage. I bet I'll get that comment. It's funnier to think that they just are watching the top of the water. Can't see anything. You got engaged. Congratulations. Yeah. Thank you very much. Engaged in a puppy growing up. Hey, sir, I'm here. We're labor lawyers now, so we figured we'd chime in. Yes. Exactly. Where they went south and we thank you, John Boyle. That's exactly where they went south and as I said to me, that's why they're doing this. You guys are on TV. Well, your voice. Baseball is back. Jake's excited. Baseball is back. Can you break the news in your brand new Daffy duck voice? Baseball is back. Perfect. It's kind of there, right? Yeah. It's in the realm. I haven't listened to a lot of Daffy duck. If you had to get a guess. I'd have to now do you and go listen to them. I think most people would guess Daffy duck because of the impression. Baseball is back. You there. I think we all got it now. DVD, you had a Daffy duck? No. Show us your Daffy duck. That's a different question. Careful. Hello. Baseball is back. Baseball is back. Parentheses, unless COVID, parentheses within the parentheses shut up and let people be excited and parentheses, and parentheses. Shut up. Have fun. I'm just glad that you resolved every single issue. They have no more problems moving forward. I tweeted out with an open parentheses yesterday and I forgot to close it. Continuous thought. I thought about replying to where they go and treat with just a closed parentheses. Open your mouth. We weren't supposed to raise. Just get open your mouth. My bad. That wasn't it. That was like a Southern Daffy duck. Baseball is back. Baseball is back. Baseball is back. And then it happened. First tweet. Peter Gammons. At P-Gammo. Good tag. Do I like the runner at 2B and X-Trainings? No. I want to see Kershaw, Cole, Verlander, Scherzer, Flaherty, DeGrom, Ray, Soroka, Glass Now Pitch. Second tweet. And Trout, Harper, Betz, Bogarts, Chapman, Lendor, Baez, Yellich, Jastremski, Bichette, Springer, Stanton, Altuve, Soto, Wong, Marte, and Marte, Alonzo, Acuña, and so many others play. Hilarious that he was like Marte. Fuck, they won't know which one. And Marte! You're not going to get me on this one. Rules are rules. Rules are rules. The game is the players. Between now and Feb 1, I hope negotiators get that. Come to John Boy and Jake Radio. Where we record the show in the studio. Hit the cameras, Zach! I do not think this song is going to be good. It's not bad, but it tastes like something that would and should have alcohol in it. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Good job, Bruce. This one's going to have some spin. It's right down the line. Got you with the spin. Trick butt. No. So if you wanted to butt, could you go like that? But it's not swing. Because if it hits the bat, it's good. These are going so fast. So fast. Yeah! That was a lot. The Sheffield style. Chance again. Doing Dr. Brown's again. Black cherry. My mask is working. Dr. Browns, we've been trying them every day. Dude, dream photo. Cheers. Have you ever had the black cherry? Yes, I have. Have you ever had the celery tonic? Celery tonic? No. That one is root beer. Do they sell celery tonic here? Not here. You've got to go to Casse's Deli. Casse's Deli? Alright, celery tonic. $15 for strong sandwiches as big as your face. Oh yeah. I'm sure you've heard of it. With a K, everyone. It's my second Dr. Browns. It's no celery, whatever the fuck that guy was talking about. Ooh! That's good. That's the best one yet. But I haven't tried celery tonic soda. That's what he said, right? Celery tonic. I don't trust that guy. Yeah, so we're about to join some sort of live chat with Aaron Boone. Manager of the Yankees knows us, is friendly with us. Probably not expecting us to show up to this thing with mics. Yeah, I think we're going to be coy about the mics. Hide the mics. We're just going to ask him some questions and then say we have Boone on the podcast where we get him. Yeah. And we'll just trick him to be like, hey, we're in the Bronx. If you need anything, let us know. You need to come here after work. Your wife's mad at you. Come here before work, if you're bored. So we're kind of blind-sighting Aaron Boone. And we'll see how that goes. We'll ask him if he likes the blind side. We want to get one laugh out of him and a half-joking command. Imagine if it's the only thing we ask him. Will you come on talking? It's like there's people that do do that. Yeah. Yeah. Alright, we'll see you after this. You're going to go pee.
