James Vincent Michael O'Brien (born February 18, 1989), better known by his nickname Jomboy, is an American baseball commentator, podcast host, and internet personality. He co-created the popular New York Yankees podcast Talkin' Yanks in 2017 alongside co-host Jake Storiale and producer David Mendelsohn. He rose to wider prominence in 2019 with his viral "breakdown" videos, in which he examines notable sporting events in detail, often aided by his lip reading ability. His commentary is known for its light-hearted and goofy style.
O'Brien is founder of the multimedia company Jomboy Media, which has grown to include YouTube and podcast series such as Talkin' Baseball, The Chris Rose Rotation, Baseball Today, and The Warehouse Games. As of 2022, the company had 64 employees. That year, it signed a contract with the Yankees broadcaster YES Network. In recent seasons, Yankees manager Aaron Boone has regularly appeared on the Talkin' Yanks podcast. It was reported Jomboy Media generated more than $10 million in annual revenue in 2024.
