Talkin' Yanks (Yankees Podcast)

I just started listening to this podcast a couple days ago. I decided to jump right into episode 1141. It’s called “the Yankees lose the 2024 World Series.” That was one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. So much sadness and misery. If they’re all like this. I’ll definitely follow.

The only baseball podcast where you will hear this analogy and totally understand what it means: “J.D. Davis walked into the party where there was just a fight. People are crying in the corner. Something was on fire. He walked in with a 6er and still hasn’t cracked one yet. Because he’s like, ‘Is the party still on?” 💀💀

I found this podcast like 6 years ago and loved it. I found it entertaining, informative, and like these guys were my buddies complaining about the Yankees with me. I saw a slight transformation over the years of 2 guys that started to have connections to the organization and players, and started to criticize less and become less like fans and more like insiders on tv I’m trying to avoid. Now, I can barely get through an episode. The Boone interviews are unbearable - and it’s not entirely their fault, he’s giving them nothing and I’m sure they wish they weren’t doing them. But they’re unlistenable. On other episodes, it just feels like these guys have gotten too big for what made them great. No hate on them at all. I’m happy for them for getting paid and making a career out of their passion, I just think this is a case of influencers you like changing their content with their new lifestyle and it ruins what you like about them

Fun and intelligent podcast. Grounded in reality and not unnecessarily sensational (I.e. not like WFAN)
