Reasonable. Nothing personal word of the day for Tuesday, July 20th, 2021 is reasonable.

0:29.3

Reasonable is a great word for me. You're not being reasonable. What does that mean?

0:35.0

That means that you're not doing what I want you to do, right? Reasonable is in the

0:41.3

eye of the beholder. When people use the word reasonable, they're using it because they

0:46.1

cannot come up with another way to articulate their argument in a convincing manner.

0:52.1

That's not a reasonable price. That's possible. May not be reasonable to you, but that's

0:57.5

2:11.8

what you're doing. Number one, number two, every fan plays GM again. You are hoping that

2:18.8

they do because that's fantasy baseball. That is the way that people are engaging in your

2:25.0

game, but not enough. You want everyone to second guess and question everything you do.

2:30.2

That's the greatest thing about being an owner of a president is everyone knows they can

2:33.7

do their job better than you. And some of them are probably right. They just don't have

2:38.0
