| 0:00.0 | This is the Todd and Time Radio Empire. |
| 0:15.0 | I was right. |
| 0:16.0 | Bobby Bonilla Day is coming up. |
| 0:17.7 | It's July 1st every year, and he still has 10 years left. So he gets the |
| 0:23.5 | million dollars. He gets all the money on that day. The yearly payment is $1.193 million, |
| 0:31.0 | and instead of paying him $5.9 million in 2000, they agreed to this deal paying him $5.9 million in 2000. |
| 0:37.8 | Yeah, we left the Pirates, right. They agreed to this deal paying him $5.9 million in 2000. Yeah, we left the Pirates, right? |
| 0:39.1 | They agreed to this deal, paying him $1.1 million a year for 35 years. |
| 0:47.2 | So until he... |
| 0:48.2 | I think he signed that when he was 25. |
| 0:50.4 | Yeah, it was in 2000. |
| 0:51.8 | That's like the lot... |
| 0:52.5 | It's that loto thing, man. |
| 0:54.0 | That's the kind you want to win, the one where they just somebody sends you something every year, you know. Although I think my favorite one is the, uh, now is there a caveat when he dies, the money goes away or does the money go to the estate?

No, at the time, though, the Mets were offering a lot of money. He took it, you know? Yep. I'll take a million dollars a year. $5.9 million with 8% interest paid in installments for 35 years. |
| 1:27.7 | Do you think he looks at his bank account that morning every morning? I would. Do you think it's a direct deposit or can he show up to the office? No, that's great. In the beginning, it might not have a direct deposit because there wasn't direct deposit. They probably mailed him a check. Yeah, yeah. First few times. Are they ever late? No. I might have a direct deposit by what year was that again? |
| 1:46.4 | 2000. |
| 1:47.8 | 2000. 2000. Oh, it kicked in 2000. Yeah. That's right, right. Just being tight asses and waiting a few months before they, you know, so they can collect interest. I would bet. I would bet it's electronically transferred at the start of the day every year at July. |
| 2:01.0 | What are the odds? |
| 2:01.8 | I would want, what's their mascot to Mr. Met, that big baseball? |
| 2:05.0 | I'd want him at the door with a big check every July 1st. |
