Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘contradiction’ as in Albert Pujols says that the Angels have not been telling the truth! What?

Contradiction. Nothing personal word of the day. Tuesday, May 18, 2021. Final show of the

0:29.9

trip. Coco, the nothing personal road trips coming to an end. As I get on a plane, I feel

0:35.8

like driving again, I miss it. But alas, it's time to get to back to the background that

0:42.7

you're used to on nothing personal with David Samson YouTube channel. It's time to back

0:47.5

to wearing a blazer and a shirt back in the regular studio. Contradiction. Word of the

0:57.1

day chosen. You know, I've had so many problems with athletes over the years with contradictory

1:03.8

statements. We say one thing the player says another we end up having to call the agent

1:09.6

talk to the agent about why the player is saying what he said publicly, the agent calls

1:13.0

us. Why you say what you said publicly? It happens mostly with injuries. And I'm not

1:19.7

go to the mound. Ask for the ball. Hey, you got another hitter in you. Hey, I'm good.

1:54.1

There's always say the same thing. I got another one with all the managers that I've had.

1:59.0

I've spoken to every single one of them. There's not one manager. Ever told me that he's

2:03.5

ever gone to the mound to ask the pitcher, Hey, how you feeling? Can you give me one more?

2:09.3

Not one time. Does a pitcher say, No, I'm good. No more. No, my I can't do it. That means

2:16.7

the manager has to decide. Do you know managers already know what they're going to do with
