Summary

Today’s word of the day is ’conspiring’ as in collusion as in MLB owners are under the microscope right now over an article from a few weeks ago that talked about the Mets saying they will not bid against the Yankees for Aaron Judge. Why is this so important? Is Steve Cohen in trouble? Is Aaron Judge mad? (17:20) Bryce Harper needs Tommy John surgery. How bad is this? It’s the same thing that happened with Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani was out until May when he got his done. Harper got the surgery a month and a half after Ohtani did. (24:35) So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about the downfall of the Washington Nationals. They wanted to know who to blame for no Harper or Soto or Turner or Scherzer anymore. (36:30) Review: Selena Gomez - My Mind and Me. (41:30) We’ve got an FTX lawsuit update! Tom Brady, Shohei Ohtani, Golden State Warriors, Larry David… SUED! (46:35) NPPOD. I went to a WizKid concert last night! It was worth the sleep I missed out on. Everyone should lose some sleep doing things that make them happy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
