- 0:06Speaker 1: Can we still say that? Yeah, because that's just the intro.
- 0:08Speaker 2: But they won so many though, sin no, no, you
- 0:11Speaker 2: can still say it a j when you're just a
- 0:12Speaker 2: teammate of those great players. You can say that when
- 0:14Speaker 2: you're not the good player. So yeah, O four Champ,
- 0:16Speaker 2: continue on, Thank you, Scott. How would you want to
- 0:17Speaker 2: be interested? Like a O five Champ rings? But yeah,
- 0:20Speaker 2: but the different rings were this big. I'm like, come on, bro,
- 0:23Speaker 2: five Champs. You guys gotta have monster.
- 0:25Speaker 3: But here's the thing. The difference is the Red Sox
- 0:27Speaker 3: have won since then. The White Sox haven't won anything
- 0:29Speaker 3: that's in I don't think about it kind that the
- 0:33Speaker 3: White Socks have one thing to hang on to.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Sorry.
- 0:35Speaker 1: I would like to see the rings side by side though.
- 0:38Speaker 2: You don't know. I would like every wit. But it
- 0:41Speaker 2: looked like my Saint Paul Saints teammate. We have a
- 0:47Speaker 2: Saints and then you have the O five. You know,
- 0:49Speaker 2: the the White Sox would sit there and steal Still
- 0:54Speaker 2: all right, I guess they're going, dude, They're going to say, hey,
- 0:59Speaker 2: we swept, we swept.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm here here the Red Sox are.
- 1:02Speaker 3: Here, try hard, didn't we yeah back comment Game one
- 1:05Speaker 3: helped us a lot.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Thank you before Maddy's at home, Like, man, AJ so mean,
- 1:09Speaker 2: did you have a five in the first I know
- 1:11Speaker 2: what you guys did. It was very very sad and you.
- 1:13Speaker 3: Got thrown out a third going second to third. I
- 1:15Speaker 3: don't know what you were thinking.
- 1:16Speaker 2: At eight bags and twelve years, AJ.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Sneaky, sneaky, all right, So do they have a chance
- 1:22Speaker 1: this year? The Socks, the Red Sox.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Honestly, honestly, God, Bronnie. I was there last week and
- 1:27Speaker 2: I looked at you have ten teams that can win
- 1:29Speaker 2: the World Series. There's ten due we can sit right
- 1:31Speaker 2: here all pick. It's awesome. I think the parody of
- 1:33Speaker 2: baseball is awesome right now. Socks are good. They're not
- 1:36Speaker 2: like fake good because you have crochet like when you
- 1:39Speaker 2: have a stopper and a closer and well yeah, and
- 1:41Speaker 2: Chapman's still throwing a hundred too. By the way, who
- 1:43Speaker 2: looks amazing. By the way we got in the elevator,
- 1:46Speaker 2: I'm like, like, he's handsome. His waist is about twenty eight.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Shoulders are like but they have that, they have this,
- 1:53Speaker 2: They have a bunch of dudes that know their role.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Their young bloods are mature. Now it's a matter of
- 1:58Speaker 2: like who's going to be rolling the rock the last
- 2:00Speaker 2: three weeks of season. So, yeah, they could win the
- 2:02Speaker 2: World Series. They really can win the World Series. And
- 2:04Speaker 2: if I was asking you who's your favorite right now
- 2:07Speaker 2: today to win the World Series?
- 2:11Speaker 1: For me, I pick a National League team, right yeah.
- 2:12Speaker 4: I would pick a National League team I think is
- 2:14Speaker 4: better than the right now, I'll go Padres.
- 2:19Speaker 2: I also take the Dodgers, Okay, And that's that's probably
- 2:23Speaker 2: who I would lean up. People like going to sleep
- 2:24Speaker 2: and hate on the Dodgers because of that. Are you
- 2:26Speaker 2: betting against them? That's all I ask. You know, everybody
- 2:28Speaker 2: like you know be like, oh yeah, you know, I
- 2:30Speaker 2: got the Mariners. I'm like, right now, for a million dollars,
- 2:33Speaker 2: your house is on the line, you're not betting against
- 2:35Speaker 2: the Dodgers.
- 2:36Speaker 4: Well, let me give you a side part of this though,
- 2:38Speaker 4: because before the season, there were many people I spoke
- 2:40Speaker 4: to that said, if I had Dodgers of the field,
- 2:42Speaker 4: I'm taking Dodgers. Do you feel that way, you want
- 2:45Speaker 4: the whole field or the Dodgers, I'll take.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Take the field right now for that. Yeah, you're right
- 2:49Speaker 2: that one will take the house in the field. But
- 2:50Speaker 2: still it's still a scary bet because if Mookie's on fire,
- 2:54Speaker 2: which you kind of start seeing it, Freddy Free' is
- 2:56Speaker 2: Freddy free Otani's weird like he does every thing awesome.
- 3:00Speaker 2: And then you still got a staff that's gonna be healthy.
- 3:03Speaker 2: I mean, Andrew Freeman, smart dude. They don't want to
- 3:06Speaker 2: play great in July and August. They want to hear
- 3:08Speaker 2: all the little stuff. They're eight and seventeen, but come
- 3:10Speaker 2: September they're gonna be lined up. You have Snell, you
- 3:13Speaker 2: have this glass now is throwing one hundred for three innings.
- 3:15Speaker 2: It's the same thing.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Do you know you're all on in the Red Sox.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Would you have said this when Raffie Devers got traded?
- 3:21Speaker 3: Would you have said, man, they just made.
- 3:22Speaker 1: The greatest move ever.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Look at who we got back, and the Red Sox
- 3:24Speaker 2: are better now. So you want to be honest, Like
- 3:26Speaker 2: said Jered crab As, I told him you're wrong. He
- 3:28Speaker 2: was blasting the front office. I was one thousand percent
- 3:31Speaker 2: in on this, one thousand percent because if you're not,
- 3:35Speaker 2: it's not rocket science.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Bro.
- 3:36Speaker 2: I paid you three hundred five million bucks. I wanted
- 3:38Speaker 2: to play some third base. Want I want to play
- 3:40Speaker 2: some first base. So that day you signed your contract, AJ,
- 3:44Speaker 2: it's the happiest day of your life. Thirteen years. I've
- 3:46Speaker 2: set you up for generation. What changes other than the
- 3:48Speaker 2: ego and money or an information from who your agents
- 3:52Speaker 2: will all become this weird. You're a ballplayer, bro, I
- 3:54Speaker 2: just need you. I need you to play third for
- 3:56Speaker 2: us right now. Tristan Cossas went down. I need you
- 3:58Speaker 2: to play first for us right now.
- 4:00Speaker 1: It's on me.
- 4:00Speaker 2: I'm not asking you to be a go glover. Frank
- 4:02Speaker 2: Thomas play first, Johnny played first, Mallar played. It's okay.
- 4:08Speaker 2: So that's where I have a problem. I don't care
- 4:10Speaker 2: who we get. And you know what, we got two
- 4:12Speaker 2: hundred and sixty million dollars back to extend Bregman, who's
- 4:16Speaker 2: a ballplayer, right, So I love Roffey's a nice kid.
- 4:20Speaker 2: But something happened. Something happened. It wasn't like that before
- 4:23Speaker 2: I signed that deal. So I always say, money and
- 4:25Speaker 2: fame change dudes. Right, go back to you. You were
- 4:28Speaker 2: like this young kid trying to play in the big leagues.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Booth bondser and Nate what Joe Nathan Yeah, five Champ.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Now you got a headset out, you're out here, You're
- 4:37Speaker 2: you're like famous now. But what changes? Why can't you
- 4:39Speaker 2: become the same guy. That's why I always say to
- 4:40Speaker 2: you guys, stay who you are, good dude, be a
- 4:44Speaker 2: good teammate, and the game will take care of you.
- 4:47Speaker 2: It wasn't turning that and look what happened. Now you're
- 4:49Speaker 2: gonna head west. Good luck. And you know Buster and listen,
- 4:53Speaker 2: they need offense, perfect storm. They did a great job
- 4:56Speaker 2: because he is offense. But all of a sudden you
- 4:58Speaker 2: saw the Red Sox become a team my opinion.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Ft FAM.

- 5:14Speaker 4: working with inside of the shorts and the bathing suits.
- 5:20Speaker 3: You know what the best part is about this gut
- 5:22Speaker 3: what They have a lot of different options because these
- 5:24Speaker 3: are clearly yours because I would never order this pattern.
- 5:26Speaker 1: But that is so may on you. That is so
- 5:28Speaker 1: many these are so you.

- 6:04Speaker 5: Do you think they're a better team without him? Do
- 6:08Speaker 5: you think? Do you think do you think they would
- 6:10Speaker 5: be a better team if if you still had an
- 6:12Speaker 5: aircraft carrier Raffi devers in that lineup? That changes how
- 6:16Speaker 5: you're even focusing on this lineup and trying to navigate
- 6:20Speaker 5: it as an opponent.
- 6:22Speaker 2: But look what it's done. It's opened up. You had
- 6:24Speaker 2: Yoshida not saying, but he's sitting over here. Can't throw,
- 6:26Speaker 2: you only get hit. He can't DH because you won't
- 6:29Speaker 2: go play a position, So you you clogged up the scene.
- 6:32Speaker 2: So you said it. You said the team. Yeah, they're
- 6:34Speaker 2: a better team. Players don't win championships. Teams win championships.
- 6:38Speaker 2: In the story. You need good players. But everybody's good
- 6:39Speaker 2: in the big viies. I don't care who you are.
- 6:41Speaker 2: That's what people forget. I always want to talk about this.
- 6:43Speaker 2: You know, two or three stars and every team. But
- 6:46Speaker 2: Aj wasn't a star. Bull crap. He wasn't a star.
- 6:49Speaker 2: He was a good player. I wasn't my own mind.
- 6:51Speaker 2: That's all about, and that's what we all are.
- 6:53Speaker 1: We all are.
- 6:53Speaker 2: But I'm saying, at the end of day, like Mike
- 6:55Speaker 2: Piazza is a star, and you know, Barry Bond's a star,
- 6:58Speaker 2: and you know whoever's the star, teams win championships. It's
- 7:01Speaker 2: not so yeah, dude, Bevers. They were in last place
- 7:04Speaker 2: for three of the four years when he was hitting third.
- 7:07Speaker 2: And I'm not putting us all on Bevers, by the way,
- 7:09Speaker 2: I'm just giving you examples and factual stuff that he
- 7:13Speaker 2: is a great player. But this year something happened, whether
- 7:15Speaker 2: he got bummed out with ownership, whether the pregnant thing
- 7:18Speaker 2: wasn't communicated to I get all that. It got to
- 7:21Speaker 2: release co Two things.
- 7:23Speaker 3: First of all, when I played for the Bananas a
- 7:25Speaker 3: couple not long ago, I was a star.
- 7:26Speaker 1: You were yeah.
- 7:27Speaker 3: And then when I do Yellow, when I sell out
- 7:30Speaker 3: city cruises like you were stars.
- 7:32Speaker 2: We had fourteen people there. It was awesome.
- 7:34Speaker 3: We had I did one on Sunday we had seven
- 7:36Speaker 3: hundred people. I thought the thing was gonna sink. And
- 7:39Speaker 3: by the way, don't tell me money when it changed.
- 7:41Speaker 3: If you would have signed a one SODO deal.
- 7:43Speaker 2: You'd be flying around and I would have it.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Instead of jumping on everyone else's jet, you'd have your
- 7:49Speaker 3: own jet that you'd be picking up.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Most generous poor guy there is. I'm a fake rich guy,
- 7:52Speaker 2: but I mean you know at the end of the day,
- 7:54Speaker 2: I'm very generous. And some of these rich dudes with
- 7:56Speaker 2: planes like, yeah, help the poor part. You hop on,
- 8:01Speaker 2: I'm gonna get you and showed it we need how'd
- 8:02Speaker 2: you get out here? Middle seat? Yeah, he was he's
- 8:05Speaker 2: two lay, not three hours. No way. You can find
- 8:09Speaker 2: one person.
- 8:10Speaker 4: If you grind though, you get the upgrades. If you
- 8:12Speaker 4: put in enough flights, you get the upgrades.
- 8:14Speaker 1: That's the thing for you.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Don't elbow space in the middle seat like sir, Yes,
- 8:18Speaker 2: sir's mine too.
- 8:19Speaker 4: But if you take too many jets, you don't get
- 8:22Speaker 4: any points for that. You don't get status for That's like,
- 8:25Speaker 4: that's the thing.
- 8:26Speaker 2: I have been eighty seven for every commercial flight. Now
- 8:28Speaker 2: I don't have any points. That's the problem. You pay
- 8:32Speaker 2: the price of ben guys work like you're not the
- 8:34Speaker 2: rich guy, or like I'm a poor guy. Oh you
- 8:36Speaker 2: got the rich guy's over at Jordan looking, I got
- 8:39Speaker 2: the shoes there.
- 8:39Speaker 3: I'm poor guys at those places. See, it's nice to
- 8:41Speaker 3: be the poorest guy at the club because then, like
- 8:43Speaker 3: you said, everyone takes care of you and they feel
- 8:45Speaker 3: bad for you. So they look at you and say, oh,
- 8:47Speaker 3: you don't have a plane. I have my I have three?
- 8:49Speaker 3: Can I fly you somewhere? Great?
- 8:52Speaker 2: High high high? Hi?
- 8:54Speaker 1: He does both?
- 8:55Speaker 2: Granted, joy And there's like a million one million, And
- 8:59Speaker 2: you got know, Michael, sounds good. Aga. I'll just let
- 9:02Speaker 2: me know when you will get invited again. And it's
- 9:04Speaker 2: been a couple of years.
- 9:07Speaker 1: This conversation might lead to that. All right.
- 9:09Speaker 4: One more on the money side with the Red Sox.
- 9:11Speaker 4: Where'd you think of the Roman Anthony extension?
- 9:14Speaker 2: Absolutely love it when you meet this kid. I'm not
- 9:16Speaker 2: just saying that. When you meet this kid, he is
- 9:18Speaker 2: the most mature, level headed, twenty one year old I've
- 9:22Speaker 2: ever seen, you know, year and a half ago, all
- 9:24Speaker 2: of a sudden that just left high school is gonna
- 9:25Speaker 2: play unior calls now and very similar body types. Ten
- 9:28Speaker 2: of hitters. Okay got it, so Ah had him. I said,
- 9:31Speaker 2: tell Kenny, how quick this happens? My son was canon.
- 9:33Speaker 2: It's canaan. He looked at me because I was in
- 9:36Speaker 2: high school year and a half ago. In the first
- 9:37Speaker 2: three months I stunk, and it's like things go fast,
- 9:40Speaker 2: and you're hitting high school pitching. I don't care where
- 9:41Speaker 2: you're playing at. High school's still high school pitches eighty
- 9:44Speaker 2: three to eighty eight. You might have a guy thrown
- 9:45Speaker 2: nine two right to see him. His first game, made
- 9:50Speaker 2: the air on his glove. Next day we got forty
- 9:52Speaker 2: two outfielders out there and coaches try and show him
- 9:54Speaker 2: with the eyewad. Here we go a ball one under
- 9:56Speaker 2: his gloved. We made an air. Never said a word,
- 9:59Speaker 2: never stray, just it's right there. Bobah Boom does his job,
- 10:01Speaker 2: but he has the eye of the strike zone. He
- 10:03Speaker 2: controls the barre's box you know his young players. When
- 10:06Speaker 2: you don't swing at balls, you're tough out. Roman Anthony,
- 10:10Speaker 2: I'm not my huge fan. So not just because of
- 10:12Speaker 2: the success, because he didn't come up just bawling, right.
- 10:15Speaker 2: He kind of an out of limup and you saw
- 10:17Speaker 2: this thing. I saw him just his abs were awesome
- 10:20Speaker 2: as a young kid.
- 10:21Speaker 3: So a lot of people say he left money on
- 10:23Speaker 3: the table. So when you're twenty one, if your son
- 10:25Speaker 3: was twenty one years old, and if team comes you
- 10:27Speaker 3: and says you maybe could make more, you could maybe
- 10:31Speaker 3: four years from now make four or five hundred million.
- 10:33Speaker 3: But at twenty one years old, a team comes to
- 10:35Speaker 3: you and says, here's eight years, one hundred and thirty,
- 10:37Speaker 3: could be over two hundred. Are you telling your son
- 10:39Speaker 3: to say no to that?
- 10:40Speaker 2: Oh, there's no money left on the table. That's just
- 10:42Speaker 2: the typical hate of the society, or basically a debate
- 10:46Speaker 2: what money's left. He's twenty one, he just signed an
- 10:48Speaker 2: eight year deal. He's gonna be twenty nine, he's gonna
- 10:50Speaker 2: sign a five hundred and eighty million dollar deal. There's
- 10:52Speaker 2: no money left. He's made seven times more than you
- 10:55Speaker 2: and I have in six and a half weeks. In
- 10:58Speaker 2: the big leagues. Yeah, like there's no money left, like
- 11:01Speaker 2: praise the kid, congratulations, good luck, but like, yeah, they
- 11:06Speaker 2: didn't they didn't give that money because they didn't know
- 11:07Speaker 2: the character. This character the good family mom, dad or
- 11:10Speaker 2: there you saw the sister, I know you did. I
- 11:13Speaker 2: mean I'm gonna miss her. She was in the dugout basically, Yeah,
- 11:15Speaker 2: no doubt. Those seats are unbelievable, great experience, but no,
- 11:18Speaker 2: this is a good dude, man, good family.
- 11:21Speaker 5: You were never you were never that uber prospect like
- 11:24Speaker 5: like him. You were never that uber prospect like him.
- 11:28Speaker 5: What kind of advice would you give him though being
- 11:31Speaker 5: a star in Boston because you are a star, you
- 11:34Speaker 5: were a star whatever you want to say in Boston.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Yeah, no, honestly, God, it's really when you're just not
- 11:42Speaker 2: drinking the kool aid on anything. You're never as bad
- 11:44Speaker 2: as you are, and you're never as good as you are.
- 11:46Speaker 2: If you could find that happy medium. That takes time
- 11:48Speaker 2: to find that. But you just meet somebody, and you know,
- 11:52Speaker 2: we meet a lot of dudes. You've had a lot
- 11:53Speaker 2: of teammates. There's good dudes, there's guys you're like, eh,
- 11:56Speaker 2: I call it. He is an eye contact, very engaging,
- 12:01Speaker 2: comes over, shakes your hand. He's not a head down guy.
- 12:03Speaker 2: He's very, very engaging. And so I'm in, man, I mean,
- 12:07Speaker 2: you know how it is. If if it's not, I'm out.
- 12:09Speaker 2: I'm in on this kid. He is special.
- 12:12Speaker 4: Here's the outro eighty grade Runner Capvin Malari. He's got
- 12:15Speaker 4: three minutes to get to time.
