Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's good? What ups musty? He's checking out the Cruise
Show podcast. Subscribe show After Hours podcast. We are here,
let's go to the Cruise Show all day and joining
us as David from Santa Fe Springs. He kat Otani's
Game four NLCS third home run baseball and he's here
(00:22):
with us right now. This is crazy, bro. The rumor
is the ball is worth three million dollars. Dog, talk
to us about what you've been doing today. You know what,
Today I went to Dodger Stadium to do my own work,
to speak to the Dodgers himself and to see if
they are interested in the in the ball during.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
The World Series.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
You want to have this conversation busy time. It is
a busy time, but you know what, I just wanted
to let the Dodgers know that I'm interested in speaking
to them. Now. I believe they know now. I did
speak to a gentleman that did call me back. His
name is Steve Brenner. Steve, I know him. He called
me back. He did say that the Dodgers were not
interested that show. He was not interested in the ball.
(01:02):
But hopefully they changed their mind because I am trying
to keep this ball in La and hopefully work work
with the work the Dodgers and negotiate some stuff. Yeah, okay,
so show he is not interested in it. That's what
he said, Steve, Whenner said, show he is not interested
in either.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Of the balls that we have him.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Wow, I mean that still leaves an open deal for
you to do an auction or do whatever you because
there's got to be a collector because to be honest,
there's not going to be a night at baseball like
that ever again unless why he does it again. So
like you know, I mean, there's still an opportunity for
money to be made.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
But you said you want to keep it home.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, I'm just I'm just you know what I'm attacking.
I'm attacking the situation like young Dolf. You know, I'm
trying to put in the work and the keep this
ball in the house and stuff like that. That's what
I'm trying to do. So that's that's how I'm attacking
the situation.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
David, what was that day?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Like you're you're at the stadium, obviously you're at the game.
Do you have a glove? No, no glove, no glove?
You kind it like that like that? Yeah, like a baby,
like a baby, No, Karen's were trying to take it
away from you or nothing like that. Now, I was
sitting around. I was sitting around. But the last time,
you know, they were cool about it. Yeah, I hype
(02:09):
you up like it was happy to me. I'm taking
pictures with me, happy for me. You know. There's some
people from some people from Eico sitting in the back
right behind me, some gentlemen and stuff that I'm sure
they took. They took some pictures when we took it
back home.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
So that's right.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
How do you go about or go about authenticating it.
There's many ways to go about authenticating the ball so far.
But I believe what I have right now, the footage
of the video, and I have other pictures that they
don't have that no one has seen in my phone
that will prove that I am the guy who has
the ball and that this is the ball, and I'm
(02:41):
willing to do it a polygraph test. I want to
do whatever I need to do to let these people
know that whatever buyer that wants to know that this
is the ball, that this is the real ball, that
this I'm going to prove that this is the ball.
I'm not gonna prove that it's fake. I'm going to
prove that this is the ball by the ball throwing
the video right like yo, yeah, and the and the
hat and I got the close too. If they want
(03:01):
to buy that, that's right.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Everything.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I was gonna say, have you like read up on
who's authent.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
P s A has reached out and I have. I
went to them. I go to everybody. I go, like,
just just just so they know, I went to p
s A. P s A has reach out that they
want the bottles be signed by show hail Tony, which
is hopefully you know what. It'll be tough, but I'm not.
I'm a guy. Like everything nothing is impossible. Like I
caught it impossible baseball. He had an impossible game. I'm
(03:29):
gonna do it. I might do an impossible deal that
people I'm gonna do. I might do impossible stuff with
with with DJ Ski and that's who that's who I
might team up with is DJ Ski And we might
do some impossible stuff with this ball. And we will,
we will, and it's it's gonna be dope. We we're
gonna do is We're gonna change, We're gonna change how
(03:51):
people go about auction or how people go about sports memorabilia.
We're gonna change that. Yeah, okay, okay, do you have
a number in mind? Yeah, I do, got a number,
and I'm gonna say this first here, I want the
ball to go for ten million. You want ten million dollars. Signature,
no signature, signature, no signature. This is the baseball baseball,
got the real life Satellef baseball in my hand. And
(04:12):
I believe that this is a walking baby brute. This
is a walking living legend, oh for sure. And we
are seeing a walking samurai Japanese samurai time right now.
And this ball is worth ten million. Guys, we've seen
yesterday's boy was about to hit another third home run,
crazy and he's about to piece today. And you know,
kudos to him. If he wants to ball out, ball out,
(04:33):
that's what we that's what we want. You know, job's
not finished. To go out and close this game and
when the next one, I'm not a hater at all, like,
you know, let's win. And if Joe hill Tony wants
to ball out again, let him ball out. And I
got the best baseball in the game from the best
baseball player ever. Was crazy. But let's be hopeful because
maybe right now he's just busy, so he's not really
focused on his ball. But as soon as we're done here,
(04:56):
And as a former I used to be good at
every sport, I'm still good at anything that I do.
I'm sports, so I understand what the World Series is
means right now and when it means to Wes. I
don't want this ball to overtake the World Series and
stuff like that. Right now, it's the World Series time,
it's l a us in La. Let's win this World
Series and stuff like that. Let the World Series have
its part, little shot, let's show I have his have
(05:16):
his time and the Dodgers and let's win. And then
after the after the game, let's let's work something out
and let's it'll be maybe it'll be my time to
to showcase the ball and let's see where this ball goes.
I know this ball, this ball is a Mona Lisa.
That's how I'm looking at this ball, some Mona Lisa artifact.
I'm gonna show. I'm gonna tour this baseball. There's what
I pen on doing. I'm gonna that The World Baseball
(05:38):
Classic is in March. Yeah, yeah, and panning in the
world need to see this baseball. I got the baseball baseball.
Like I said, people will come see it.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah right, yeah, No, that's a smart play because it
is a part of history and if people get a
chance to experience it, that's what it's all about. It's
kind of cool that you're just not, you know, trying
to I mean, you're gonna let it have its own life,
which is kind of cool, and let other people experience it.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
You don't see that from a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Hope that it's all good. You hope you're okay, Yeah,
you're okay. You want you're usually collectors, they'll get something
like this and they keep it to themselves.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
They gate keep it, right, No, that's in their man
cave or whatever, and they gate keep and then it's
just keep it to themselves, the homies in or whatever.
But the fact that you may give you know, a
fan of Otani's or just a young kid an opportunity
to be like this is that ball right there. You
could inspire future generations to be like him too, you know.
And you're just a regular dude that that caught the ball.
But you're giving up people an opportunity to experience something
(06:36):
once in the lifetime.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, and that's that's I see kids when I just
today I was there at Dodger Stadium. If I see
a Dodger fan out that loves the Dodgers, if somebody says, hey,
it's a nice hat, or I say, hey, this is
who I am. This is like you guys want to
see the footage and stuff like that. I just want
to be open to know who who what the I
just want to share a moment with them, a memory,
you know, so they can be Oh, I met that guy.
(06:57):
You might tell somebody or you know. I just want
to share moment with them and just it's everybody's moment
to share it, to be honest, it really is. David,
Do you have plans for the ten million dollars? Well,
I got a son, you know, my son. His name
is Santana obviously him and whatever else family is in
my realm. Also, I'm going to invest, invest in. I'm
(07:18):
gonna invest the money, invest the money, and hopefully this
money becomes generational wealth for my family, to be honest,
that's my plan. Do you collect anything else? No, nothing else, No,
no Pokemon cards, none of that. Do you ever collect cards?
You know what? I know I did collect crazy bones
back in the day, remember crazy Bones? No, oh, what
(07:39):
about tech tech decks a little skate Yeah I still yeah,
there he goes. Now, what if the Dodgers come at
you with some kind of counteroffer? Are you willing to negotiate? Yeah? Yeah,
I want to he just I want to hear what
they got to say, you know what, I want to
hear what they got to say. If they want to
do that, that's cool, and then the bull can stay
in La. The Dodgers can keep it to shoot me like,
(08:00):
give me that whatever y'all make, y'all make it. But
I still wouldn't negotiate. There's other things I can say
too that can help me and help the deal, you know,
like where you know, there's other things I can say
besides money, besides money that I wanted. Good.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, you got to be open to that because you
just never know.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You don't want to play catch with all the time,
you know, Yeah, that would be cool. Yeah, I could
I throw the first page of the World series.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I think you got to give it a little bit
of time because maybe after this is all over, they
may be more open to talking to you, and he
may be more open to talking to you. I mean,
so he's got to get out of this situation now,
and then he could think like, yeah, man, I wouldn't
mind having that ball, you know, and then you can
go from there.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, you know, this is his he hit the baseball,
Like I wondered if he wants if he wants to
buy it, or if he wants it, like I wanted
to talk to him definitely for sure. So have you
spoken to news outlets? Yeah? Right, oh yeah, today I
was just out there. I spoke to university on on
channel five, you know, and I'm here today. It's it's
(09:03):
a great day. You know. I made some motion and
stuff like that. Hopefully. I just want what's best for
me and what's best for the ball, to be honest, right,
you know. And before I let before I work with somebody,
I want to know if if I'm making the right
choice or if I wait, if I did some homework myself,
or I did if I did some work myself, you know,
before I before I work with somebody else, like I
(09:24):
want to know that I tried that I give it
them my all to keep it, keep it, like the
eye words that I'm trying to do this myself. You know,
no disrespect to anybody that wants to work with me,
but like I want to know that I'm trying to
just trying to do whatever, try to keep as much
as I can for me and my family. Of course,
let somebody else come.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Because a lot of people will come out with this
offers that offers, this that work. Yeah, it's tough. It's
a lot coming at you at one time.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Bro, Have you had any offers at all? Yeah? I did.
I've got off for too million dollars cash already for
this ball. I said, no respect me. Yeah, I said no.
Can you believe me? I said, no, You're better than me. Bro,
I probably would have taken it cash. I would have
sold it. I would have sold it.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, you're you're a strong man.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You have a bigger visional. Yeah, I've never always I've
always been rich in spirit, to be honest, you know,
like what I get with this ball is just gonna
be a blessing. Who knows what comes? I hope, you
know I'm not. I'm we may roll the dice, but
the Lord determines how they fall. You know, who knows
what what comes? I just want to make the right
choice with this ball and continue to make right choices,
(10:27):
you know, but yeah, you know, Dad. We started in
the comments. Two people were like, yo, if you're a
real Dodgers fan, you wouldn't sell it. And we're like, yo,
you don't tell it. Anybody would say, I may I
sell it? I mean I sell it, I may hold
on to it. And it's an investment. I got the
mona Lea said, Man, it's gonna grow when I got
it into my hands, and you know, I may not
sell it after all, after I'm getting gatting wisdom and
knowledge in this game and what and the ball that
(10:47):
I got. Like, I mean, these past two weeks, I
became a very wise individual.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I'm learning.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I'm learning, and I sit down with many people like
I'm learning through you guys. I've talked too many auctions,
are spots spoken, multiple people that have helped me learn
through this process, and I'm just just taking soaking it
all in.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, be patient. Patience is a virtue. Man.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You know, you don't have to cash out right away.
Figure it out, you know what's best for you. It
only goes up in value, right you'd hope, Yeah, he
might ball out. I mean almost it again today, almost
three home runs yesterday.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Dude, he could hear for the cycle and they pitched
to him later on in the game, and I was
watching the game, I was like, man, there might go
my baseball, like you know, but I mean, he's if
he's pitching today, you can born out today because he's
a big time player, and big time players show up
and big time games.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And the thing is is like it'll still have some value,
you know, regardless, And I think anything at this point
is more than you had.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Right for you into the game, you know what I mean,
Like you're playing with house money.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I got a story I got I got a unique story,
you guys. This baseball that happened to me, it's going
to change life and I can't wait to share it
to this world, my life story when when the time comes.
But I got a unique story to give to the world,
so so the world can know what, Like what's up?
You know that anything can happen to anybody, and I
can't wait to see my story when the time comes.
That's right, Yeah, have you lawyered up? You have any
(12:16):
legal counsel, you know what. I haven't layered up, but
if I need, if it need to be. I know
exactly where to go, that's right.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, that's smart. Cruis has got a good point. Yeah,
you make sure exactly someone that knows ins.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And out of this stuff, and yeah, exactly help you
navigate through. Especially if you get close to that number.
You hit that number, you'd like you know, things can
get a little crazy for sure, you know. Yeah, yeah,

Game four NLCS third home run baseball and he's here
(00:22):
with us right now. This is crazy, bro. The rumor
is the ball is worth three million dollars. Dog, talk
to us about what you've been doing today. You know what,
Today I went to Dodger Stadium to do my own work,
to speak to the Dodgers himself and to see if
they are interested in the in the ball during.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
The World Series.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
You want to have this conversation busy time. It is
a busy time, but you know what, I just wanted
to let the Dodgers know that I'm interested in speaking
to them. Now. I believe they know now. I did
speak to a gentleman that did call me back. His
name is Steve Brenner. Steve, I know him. He called
me back. He did say that the Dodgers were not
interested that show. He was not interested in the ball.
(01:02):
But hopefully they changed their mind because I am trying
to keep this ball in La and hopefully work work
with the work the Dodgers and negotiate some stuff. Yeah, okay,
so show he is not interested in it. That's what
he said, Steve, Whenner said, show he is not interested
in either.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Of the balls that we have him.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Wow, I mean that still leaves an open deal for
you to do an auction or do whatever you because
there's got to be a collector because to be honest,
there's not going to be a night at baseball like
that ever again unless why he does it again. So
like you know, I mean, there's still an opportunity for
money to be made.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
But you said you want to keep it home.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, I'm just I'm just you know what I'm attacking.
I'm attacking the situation like young Dolf. You know, I'm
trying to put in the work and the keep this
ball in the house and stuff like that. That's what
I'm trying to do. So that's that's how I'm attacking
the situation.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
David, what was that day?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Like you're you're at the stadium, obviously you're at the game.
Do you have a glove? No, no glove, no glove?
You kind it like that like that? Yeah, like a baby,
like a baby, No, Karen's were trying to take it
away from you or nothing like that. Now, I was
sitting around. I was sitting around. But the last time,
you know, they were cool about it. Yeah, I hype
(02:09):
you up like it was happy to me. I'm taking
pictures with me, happy for me. You know. There's some
people from some people from Eico sitting in the back
right behind me, some gentlemen and stuff that I'm sure
they took. They took some pictures when we took it
back home.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
So that's right.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
How do you go about or go about authenticating it.
There's many ways to go about authenticating the ball so far.
But I believe what I have right now, the footage
of the video, and I have other pictures that they
don't have that no one has seen in my phone
that will prove that I am the guy who has
the ball and that this is the ball, and I'm
(02:41):
willing to do it a polygraph test. I want to
do whatever I need to do to let these people
know that whatever buyer that wants to know that this
is the ball, that this is the real ball, that
this I'm going to prove that this is the ball.
I'm not gonna prove that it's fake. I'm going to
prove that this is the ball by the ball throwing
the video right like yo, yeah, and the and the
hat and I got the close too. If they want
(03:01):
to buy that, that's right.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Everything.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I was gonna say, have you like read up on
who's authent.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
P s A has reached out and I have. I
went to them. I go to everybody. I go, like,
just just just so they know, I went to p
s A. P s A has reach out that they
want the bottles be signed by show hail Tony, which
is hopefully you know what. It'll be tough, but I'm not.
I'm a guy. Like everything nothing is impossible. Like I
caught it impossible baseball. He had an impossible game. I'm
(03:29):
gonna do it. I might do an impossible deal that
people I'm gonna do. I might do impossible stuff with
with with DJ Ski and that's who that's who I
might team up with is DJ Ski And we might
do some impossible stuff with this ball. And we will,
we will, and it's it's gonna be dope. We we're
gonna do is We're gonna change, We're gonna change how
(03:51):
people go about auction or how people go about sports memorabilia.
We're gonna change that. Yeah, okay, okay, do you have
a number in mind? Yeah, I do, got a number,
and I'm gonna say this first here, I want the
ball to go for ten million. You want ten million dollars. Signature,
no signature, signature, no signature. This is the baseball baseball,
got the real life Satellef baseball in my hand. And
(04:12):
I believe that this is a walking baby brute. This
is a walking living legend, oh for sure. And we
are seeing a walking samurai Japanese samurai time right now.
And this ball is worth ten million. Guys, we've seen
yesterday's boy was about to hit another third home run,
crazy and he's about to piece today. And you know,
kudos to him. If he wants to ball out, ball out,
(04:33):
that's what we that's what we want. You know, job's
not finished. To go out and close this game and
when the next one, I'm not a hater at all, like,
you know, let's win. And if Joe hill Tony wants
to ball out again, let him ball out. And I
got the best baseball in the game from the best
baseball player ever. Was crazy. But let's be hopeful because
maybe right now he's just busy, so he's not really
focused on his ball. But as soon as we're done here,
(04:56):
And as a former I used to be good at
every sport, I'm still good at anything that I do.
I'm sports, so I understand what the World Series is
means right now and when it means to Wes. I
don't want this ball to overtake the World Series and
stuff like that. Right now, it's the World Series time,
it's l a us in La. Let's win this World
Series and stuff like that. Let the World Series have
its part, little shot, let's show I have his have
(05:16):
his time and the Dodgers and let's win. And then
after the after the game, let's let's work something out
and let's it'll be maybe it'll be my time to
to showcase the ball and let's see where this ball goes.
I know this ball, this ball is a Mona Lisa.
That's how I'm looking at this ball, some Mona Lisa artifact.
I'm gonna show. I'm gonna tour this baseball. There's what
I pen on doing. I'm gonna that The World Baseball
(05:38):
Classic is in March. Yeah, yeah, and panning in the
world need to see this baseball. I got the baseball baseball.
Like I said, people will come see it.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah right, yeah, No, that's a smart play because it
is a part of history and if people get a
chance to experience it, that's what it's all about. It's
kind of cool that you're just not, you know, trying
to I mean, you're gonna let it have its own life,
which is kind of cool, and let other people experience it.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
You don't see that from a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Hope that it's all good. You hope you're okay, Yeah,
you're okay. You want you're usually collectors, they'll get something
like this and they keep it to themselves.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
They gate keep it, right, No, that's in their man
cave or whatever, and they gate keep and then it's
just keep it to themselves, the homies in or whatever.
But the fact that you may give you know, a
fan of Otani's or just a young kid an opportunity
to be like this is that ball right there. You
could inspire future generations to be like him too, you know.
And you're just a regular dude that that caught the ball.
But you're giving up people an opportunity to experience something
(06:36):
once in the lifetime.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, and that's that's I see kids when I just
today I was there at Dodger Stadium. If I see
a Dodger fan out that loves the Dodgers, if somebody says, hey,
it's a nice hat, or I say, hey, this is
who I am. This is like you guys want to
see the footage and stuff like that. I just want
to be open to know who who what the I
just want to share a moment with them, a memory,
you know, so they can be Oh, I met that guy.
(06:57):
You might tell somebody or you know. I just want
to share moment with them and just it's everybody's moment
to share it, to be honest, it really is. David,
Do you have plans for the ten million dollars? Well,
I got a son, you know, my son. His name
is Santana obviously him and whatever else family is in
my realm. Also, I'm going to invest, invest in. I'm
(07:18):
gonna invest the money, invest the money, and hopefully this
money becomes generational wealth for my family, to be honest,
that's my plan. Do you collect anything else? No, nothing else, No,
no Pokemon cards, none of that. Do you ever collect cards?
You know what? I know I did collect crazy bones
back in the day, remember crazy Bones? No, oh, what
(07:39):
about tech tech decks a little skate Yeah I still yeah,
there he goes. Now, what if the Dodgers come at
you with some kind of counteroffer? Are you willing to negotiate? Yeah? Yeah,
I want to he just I want to hear what
they got to say, you know what, I want to
hear what they got to say. If they want to
do that, that's cool, and then the bull can stay
in La. The Dodgers can keep it to shoot me like,
(08:00):
give me that whatever y'all make, y'all make it. But
I still wouldn't negotiate. There's other things I can say
too that can help me and help the deal, you know,
like where you know, there's other things I can say
besides money, besides money that I wanted. Good.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, you got to be open to that because you
just never know.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You don't want to play catch with all the time,
you know, Yeah, that would be cool. Yeah, I could
I throw the first page of the World series.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I think you got to give it a little bit
of time because maybe after this is all over, they
may be more open to talking to you, and he
may be more open to talking to you. I mean,
so he's got to get out of this situation now,
and then he could think like, yeah, man, I wouldn't
mind having that ball, you know, and then you can
go from there.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, you know, this is his he hit the baseball,
Like I wondered if he wants if he wants to
buy it, or if he wants it, like I wanted
to talk to him definitely for sure. So have you
spoken to news outlets? Yeah? Right, oh yeah, today I
was just out there. I spoke to university on on
channel five, you know, and I'm here today. It's it's
(09:03):
a great day. You know. I made some motion and
stuff like that. Hopefully. I just want what's best for
me and what's best for the ball, to be honest, right,
you know. And before I let before I work with somebody,
I want to know if if I'm making the right
choice or if I wait, if I did some homework myself,
or I did if I did some work myself, you know,
before I before I work with somebody else, like I
(09:24):
want to know that I tried that I give it
them my all to keep it, keep it, like the
eye words that I'm trying to do this myself. You know,
no disrespect to anybody that wants to work with me,
but like I want to know that I'm trying to
just trying to do whatever, try to keep as much
as I can for me and my family. Of course,
let somebody else come.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Because a lot of people will come out with this
offers that offers, this that work. Yeah, it's tough. It's
a lot coming at you at one time.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Bro, Have you had any offers at all? Yeah? I did.
I've got off for too million dollars cash already for
this ball. I said, no respect me. Yeah, I said no.
Can you believe me? I said, no, You're better than me. Bro,
I probably would have taken it cash. I would have
sold it. I would have sold it.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, you're you're a strong man.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You have a bigger visional. Yeah, I've never always I've
always been rich in spirit, to be honest, you know,
like what I get with this ball is just gonna
be a blessing. Who knows what comes? I hope, you
know I'm not. I'm we may roll the dice, but
the Lord determines how they fall. You know, who knows
what what comes? I just want to make the right
choice with this ball and continue to make right choices,
(10:27):
you know, but yeah, you know, Dad. We started in
the comments. Two people were like, yo, if you're a
real Dodgers fan, you wouldn't sell it. And we're like, yo,
you don't tell it. Anybody would say, I may I
sell it? I mean I sell it, I may hold
on to it. And it's an investment. I got the
mona Lea said, Man, it's gonna grow when I got
it into my hands, and you know, I may not
sell it after all, after I'm getting gatting wisdom and
knowledge in this game and what and the ball that
(10:47):
I got. Like, I mean, these past two weeks, I
became a very wise individual.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I'm learning.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I'm learning, and I sit down with many people like
I'm learning through you guys. I've talked too many auctions,
are spots spoken, multiple people that have helped me learn
through this process, and I'm just just taking soaking it
all in.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, be patient. Patience is a virtue. Man.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You know, you don't have to cash out right away.
Figure it out, you know what's best for you. It
only goes up in value, right you'd hope, Yeah, he
might ball out. I mean almost it again today, almost
three home runs yesterday.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Dude, he could hear for the cycle and they pitched
to him later on in the game, and I was
watching the game, I was like, man, there might go
my baseball, like you know, but I mean, he's if
he's pitching today, you can born out today because he's
a big time player, and big time players show up
and big time games.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And the thing is is like it'll still have some value,
you know, regardless, And I think anything at this point
is more than you had.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Right for you into the game, you know what I mean,
Like you're playing with house money.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I got a story I got I got a unique story,
you guys. This baseball that happened to me, it's going
to change life and I can't wait to share it
to this world, my life story when when the time comes.
But I got a unique story to give to the world,
so so the world can know what, Like what's up?
You know that anything can happen to anybody, and I
can't wait to see my story when the time comes.
That's right, Yeah, have you lawyered up? You have any
(12:16):
legal counsel, you know what. I haven't layered up, but
if I need, if it need to be. I know
exactly where to go, that's right.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, that's smart. Cruis has got a good point. Yeah,
you make sure exactly someone that knows ins.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And out of this stuff, and yeah, exactly help you
navigate through. Especially if you get close to that number.
You hit that number, you'd like you know, things can
get a little crazy for sure, you know. Yeah, yeah,
