Yankee Wake Up

It’s a new day, a new format, a new Birdcast and waking up in 2021 is still really weird. But it can always be worse, just look at the NY Yankees: 8 of them have tested positive for COVID19 even though they were all vaccinated and two weeks out. Should we panic? I think you already know the answer but here’s why.

I did the research so you didn’t have to, here are my sources and special thanks to Dr. Allen Zagoren DO FACOS FACN:

WARNING: Recorded back in 2017 when people were hanging in bars so it’ll be a lil disorienting. Also we’re talking about poop.
