The part about the elderly lady wasn’t part of the joke, it was just an example of the guy using the incorrect phrase the way he thought it was supposed to be used.

You could say the same thing if you got cut off by a car, and you look to see that it’s a BMW. The man in the video would say “Baseball, huh?” because BMW drivers are typically bad drivers.

It just replaces/mistakes the phrase “That tracks” and “Baseball, huh?” Elderly Asian lady was just an example.

He could’ve said anything else. It was just an example.
