Chirpin' from the pine.

It's time to rage.
(00:38):
It's time to rage.
(01:08):
Anyways, this is Chirpin' from the pine.
Oh, it is?
Yeah.
My name's Josh.
I'm here today with my good buddy Frank.
Don't lie to people like that.
My good brother Frank.
Piece of shit.
My half-acquaintance Frank.
Fuck you, you're...
Whatever.
What are incest hair?
What did you call me?
Incense hair.
Incense?
What's wrong with that?
(01:29):
You don't like incense?
Everybody likes incense.
Sure.
Whatever.
Anyways.
Know what it actually looks like?
What?
It's like Indian hair tampons from the South Park episode.
Yeah, it does.
This is exactly what it is.
Anyways, this is Chirpin' from the pine.
Today we're going to talk about the Olympics and the result of the Olympics, of said Olympics.
But before we do that, we just want to say...
(01:54):
USA, USA, USA, USA.
Fuck, yeah.
Fuck everyone else.
Fuck all the other countries.
Especially Canada.
Why Canada?
I don't know, I just like saying that.
I was going to say especially China.
Yeah, double for China.
China.
China.
But if you want to listen to our other podcast where we say fuck every other country at the
(02:19):
same time as well...
Well, honestly, we just focus on China and Russia on that one.
That's true.
Well, at least we do.
Yeah, yeah.
But you can go to gameragemagazine.com.

Anyways, 2024 Paris Olympics, the United States handily whooping that ass.
(03:09):
Whooping that ass so bad.
We for total number of medals, we beat, we had 126 fucking medals.
China, the number two was 35 medals behind us at 91.
(03:35):
And you want to know what number three was?
Japan.
And you want to fucking know how many medals behind us.
Japan is or was.
Made it home.
Oh good.
The third place was 81 medals behind us.
(03:59):
Now I will say the only negative, the only negative to this is that in terms of gold
medals.
We still win in that category because the tiebreaker is the silver.
No, we win all the way around.
I'm just saying I would have liked to have the two categories is the gold most gold medals
(04:23):
and most medals overall.
Yeah.
So the most gold medals we win because we beat them with the tiebreaker, which is silver.
Yeah we basically got like almost double what they had in silver.
So yeah, so we both categories we won.
Yeah.
(04:44):
So we handily whooped everyone's fucking ass.
Everyone's fucking ass.
Now total medals.
Like close.
Okay.
So yeah, gold medals, total medals.
(05:07):
We win.
Right.
We win every, we win in every category.
We tie for gold, but the silver is the tiebreaker.
Yeah.
We win in silver.
We win in bronze.
Oh yeah.
We beat them in bronze too.
And we win it overall.
There's we won every category.
We won three of the four categories and tied on the fourth category.
(05:29):
No, we won that one because the tiebreaker is the silver.
Okay.
Well either way we handle, we won every single fucking category.
We swept them.
We swept the fucking summer Olympics.
And in 2026 we have upcoming the winter Olympics in Los Angeles.
Is it Los Angeles?
No, it's a summer one, right?
Yeah.
The next summer one is going to be, let me just see where the 2026 winter Olympics are
(05:51):
going to be.
Those look like those are going to be in Milan in Italy, Milan and Cortina de Appanzi.
So I can't say that it's going to be in fucking Italy.
So I have a feeling we're also going to fucking do some ass whipping in winter coming up in
two years.
(06:12):
So winter Olympians, you're at the halfway mark.
You got two fucking years because it's going to happen in February 2026.
17 months.
So you got less than two years, you sons of bitches.
(06:33):
You better fucking get your shit going.
But anyways, we whooped everybody's ass.
And I have to say, pretty great.
It's pretty great to see that.
It's pretty great to see that.
This further indicates our true American dominance.
(06:56):
And this is going to, this is a, maybe a subtopic with the CUP, the Central Unintelligence
podcast, but I do think that Olympic medal or Olympic performance is directly related
to military performance because this, because the only one close to us is China and Russia's
(07:19):
not even in sight.
Russia's not even on the board.
And I think that this falls through, cause who was number three?
Japan.
So I think this shows us that we are still clearly handily the top dog in the world.
I don't know if China necessarily is at number two, but whatever.
We'll give it to them for now.
If they are, it's a, well, they're a far second clearly by the metals.
(07:46):
And Japan's number three.
Well, Japan's on our team.
So honestly, look, honestly, Japan, Japan, China isn't there because at this point, second
place is we're at second place too.
Yeah.
We're in first and second place.
So it's like our Navy.
We have the first, second and third largest fleet.
Yeah, true.
Exactly.
So therefore I think this bodes well for world, world war three, we're going to fucking whoop
(08:12):
some ass.
Um, what else do you guys say about the wonderful Olympics?
Uh, did you see the closing ceremonies?
I saw the Tom Cruise coming down from the fucking rafters.
Uh, well, did you see how, uh, they were adding, um, uh, crowd noises?
(08:34):
Oh, they were.
Cause people were just not doing anything.
Damn.
That's funny.
That's crazy.
This was a, uh, medals and all that aside, this was a catastrophic failure for France.
Oh, this was a, well, this was a catastrophic failure for the Olympic committee.
Yeah.
I mean, cause they're the ones that did all this shit.
The French didn't, I mean, they just hosted it, but they didn't have any like, Oh, this
(08:57):
is how the shit's going to go.
And this is the performers we're going to have.
No, the Olympic committee picked all that shit.
So I mean, they fucked up man, all the way around.
They fucked up and not just because of the opening ceremonies, whatever bullshit.
I don't even care about that.
Cardboard beds, cardboard beds, forcing the vegan diet.
(09:19):
That is just insane.
Only people you cannot worship.
God is the one that's pissing me off too.
Insane.
Like I'm not religious, but I'm like, but this is why America is number one, because
we at least say, Hey, you better let these assholes say what they want to say and worship
who they want to worship.
You ain't going to tell us.
(09:39):
No, we're America.
That's honestly, honestly, that's like saying, Hey, we know you won the gold medal, but we're
not going to play your anthem.
Yeah.
Basically.
Fuck you.
I won the gold medal.
Do what the fuck I want.
There will never be a after world war three and the massive amount of war crimes that
(10:00):
we're going to commit.
There will not be a U S Olympic committee like the Russians have.
No, no, no.
There's a big difference in that though.
Russia had to back out because you know, they had to, if they tell us that we have to back
out, we're going to tell them no.
And there's nobody that can tell them they can tell the set after us.
(10:21):
Yeah, right.
Exactly.
So they can tell Russia no, because we're going to tell Russia no.
Yeah.
And so, and for two reasons, one for America and two, we have just fought world war three.
There is no, we're going to be like Thorin Thorin from, um, um, put that Viking anime.
Oh, uh, Vinland Saga.
(10:43):
Yeah.
Vinland Saga.
There you go.
We just had at the end.
He just stands up.
I have no enemies.
Yeah.
I have no enemies.
Damn, that's going to be us.
Fucking a, I don't know, man.
This is just like we, the only, we always dominating in the Olympics.
Yeah.
(11:03):
Um, so it's like, I remember the people were talking shit cause we weren't even in the,
we weren't even in the top 10 for a while.
Yeah.
I was like, yeah, keep talking, dude.
Like it's, it's inevitable.
Yeah.
Cause you don't, you're counting your chickens before they hatch.
True fucking story.
(11:23):
And there's not a goddamn thing you can do about it either.
Phallus said it best.
All the, just remember that everybody in every sport around the world that we don't plan,
you won first place, but in reality it's silver because we just haven't played yet.
That's true.
That's true.
(11:44):
And the Olympics proved that because what, two years ago at the last winter Olympics,
we won first place in curling.
Yeah.
It was our first, it was our first time actually competing.
That is true.
This year we won rugby.
Yeah.
Cause we fucking whooped all the asses and shit that we don't even normally whoop ass
in that we'd never even played.
So everyone talking shit.
(12:05):
Oh, you guys didn't win anything in the shooting.
Yeah.
We lost in the air guns.
Yeah.
Don't worry.
When it comes to a actual shooting in war, we'll definitely be winning that battle.
What happened to the fucking result metal table?
(12:26):
There it is.
And that lady, man.
Yeah.
She, she, she single handedly ruined an entire sport for the Olympics.
Oh yeah.
The fucking break dancing.
Yeah.
That was pretty bad, man.
And they said that's it.
Never again.
Yep.
All because of that lady, man.
So either she's either she called Australia to pay for her vacation to Paris or she legit
(12:52):
thought she was one of the best performers in the world.
So she's either my hero or a piece of shit or she's delusional as fuck.
Yeah.
Very, very good.
Where will be, um, just to say again in gold medals real quick, cause I didn't say the
goal we had 40 obviously, well, technically 41 with the wind of the tiebreaker.
(13:15):
Cause I'm trying to also had 40, but Japan, you know how many fucking gold medals they
had 10 20, they had half.
Yeah.
We beat the, we beat the next guy by double and everyone else was below that.
So again, domination break dancing has never happened again, but whatever, I feel like
they should bring baseball back.
(13:38):
No, because that's just maybe now because the majority of MLB players are no longer
American.
That's what I'm saying.
Like I think they really should bring them because the world baseball classic, it does
that because the Olympics stopped letting baseball come in.
So that's why they made the Olympic.
Remember they tried to get rid of the, try to get rid of basketball because we were always
dominating that.
Right.
(13:59):
I mean, Japan won the world baseball classic last year.
So I mean, which is essentially the, which I do, I don't know if you're down, but I
do kind of want to go because next year for the world baseball classic, it's going to
be, I think they have the closest to us.
I think it's in Arizona.
They have, they have some games going on, I think in Arizona and then they have some
(14:21):
in Texas.
So I'm kind of thinking it might be kind of cool to go and like watch.
I don't know.
Obviously we don't know the schedule of who's fucking playing.
Of course I'd want to see team USA play and not, I don't really give a shit about anybody
else, but it would be kind of cool to go fucking like, yeah, watch that.
So I'm kind of thinking next year we might've taken an excursion to wherever we can get
(14:43):
into.
But yeah, so the next world baseball classic is in 20, oh no, it's not next year.
It's in 2026.
So two years.
So we got two years.
So it's even better.
Yeah.
It's going to be, there's two spots in America.
It's Miami and Houston.
(15:03):
So I fucked up.
It was Miami, not the other one, but it's going to be at Miami and Houston.
It will be at the Minute Maid Park.
That's the Astros.
That's cool.
I mean, neither of us has ever been to the Astros fucking stadium.
So shit, we never even been to fucking Houston either.
So that's cool.
I mean, we went to fucking Austin, which was cool, but I mean, we wouldn't have to fly
(15:24):
to you because, oh yeah, no, I don't necessarily want to do that drive again.
I think we would have to fly.
It'd be less than 20.
No, it'd be more because it's Houston closer or further.
I think it's further.
I think it's, is there a closer to the panhandle?
Google maps.
Or am I thinking about Dallas?
You might be thinking about Dallas.
Google maps.
Let's just, let's just see for shits and giggles real quick.
(15:45):
Cause I'm curious to see.
Houston, Texas from our place is, oh shit.
Let's see.
Houston, Texas is closer to Louisiana that yeah.
So it's well shit.
Honestly, it's like the next major city over from Houston.
I mean Austin.
So it's actually like.
(16:05):
Is it in Dallas, north of Houston?
Dallas is north of Austin.
Houston is East and a little South.
Isn't it like a triangle?
Yeah, it's where it's Dallas and all kind of, yeah, it's kind of like a triangle.
Um, Hey, it's gotta go to Austin again and go visit Rooster.
Oh wait.
(16:26):
Oh wait, they're dead.
So basically, yeah, I mean we can shoot through like we did last time and basically go to
it's the same exact fucking route.
It's to San Antonio and then I mean that drive was fun at all, but I don't think I could
get the time off to drive there.
Yeah.
Cause it took us 24 hours nonstop.
(16:47):
Yeah.
We would have to do two days of traveling, like traveling both ways.
So I mean a flight, let's just see.
Cause I'm curious as to what a flight is.
Uh, do they have flights?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm just going to fucking see where we'll see.
Oh cool.
They have it going out of Ontario.
Yeah.
And nonstop from Ontario, which is the one we want to go to.
(17:09):
Cause we don't want to go to fucking LAX Ontario to Houston.
Three hours.
Yeah.
So, and they do, they do nonstop two to three trips a day.
But that's what I'm saying.
Like if we drive there, we would have to drive there, watch the game the same day we get
there.
Yeah.
Maybe spend the night there and drive back.
(17:31):
True.
So if we fly there, we can probably spend one or two days there the day before and leave
the day after the game.
Well, I mean it's only a three hour flight.
So I mean we could literally leave, we could literally leave, be there the same day.
Well, three hours late, well it'd be six hours, five hours because of the time difference
because it was two hours ahead.
Right?
So it'd be like, it'd be like a five hour difference.
(17:52):
So if we left at 5 AM, we'd be there at 8 AM, so 10 AM.
But what I'm saying is we can go there, stay there for like two to three days.
Oh yeah.
We could probably spend the same amount of time we would have been driving.
Right.
Except we would have spent two to three days there instead of the two days driving or whatever.
And I have to watch the game jet lagged.
I mean not jet lagged.
(18:13):
Yeah, tired.
Well, it'd be road trip lagged, I guess is technically probably the right term.
We could spend the jet lag just relaxing.
Yeah.
Shit.
We could spend 12 hours getting jet lagged and it still would be better than driving
or whatever.
Oh man.
My only fucking hang up.
Dude, Frontier Air is the airline right now, like to go next week or in three weeks.
(18:35):
191 bucks round trip.
That's cheap.
But fuck Frontier, dude.
Hey man, fucking our good buddy, our good buddy Chow rode on Frontier from Vegas here.
Yeah, but that was just a 20 minute flight.
Yeah, that's true.
There's no other airlines that fly out there?
There's United and Southwest, but they're not.
That's cheap.
United, Southwest.
(18:56):
It's more, it's a lot more expensive.
It's 500 bucks.
United, yeah, but what about Southwest?
It's more expensive.
It's, well, United's 443 and this one's 538 and it's not a, oh no, they're both nonstop.
So how much Southwest?
Southwest is $538.
Wow.
So it would have to be Spirit, man.
(19:21):
You mean Frontier?
Hey Frontier.
That's the only way we can afford to go.
It's going to be a horrible three hours.
Oh yeah, it's going to be the worst three hours ever.
And then you know what would be crazy is if we raw dogged it and brought nothing and just
stared at the back of the seat in front of us.
I'm not going to do that, but yeah, I mean, but listen for three hours, if we're sitting
(19:42):
there on our fucking iPads or dicking around.
That's funny because I probably have to buy two seats because I'm so fat.
Uh huh.
Maybe where's the button?
It's fat.
Oh, wait a minute.
You're fat.
Oh, I turned it down.
But anyways, I can still buy the two tickets and it'll still be cheaper than the Southwest.
(20:04):
Oh, that is true.
It still would be cheaper.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, I would do that.
So I don't know something.
I mean, honestly, I mean, it would be cheaper than renting a car and driving with.
Yeah, I mean, between the two of us, if we split gas, I mean, yeah, we're going to spend,
we're going to spend at least this flight cost in fuel.
(20:27):
Probably a G in total.
Probably what's, what's the new term for a G?
A band, a band.
Yeah.
I think it's kind of bad.
Oh my God.
I don't know.
But either way, world baseball classic 2026.
We're fucking going.
And honestly, fuck man.
I wonder what a flight from Miami to Houston to Miami is.
(20:49):
And we just go, we go to, we go from Ontario to Houston and we set the round trip back
for like three days later.
And then we see the game, like when we're there that day or whatever, and then go from
Houston to Miami and go see the game the next day and then go back Miami to Houston and
then be back, dick around, maybe see another game and then jump on the flight and go back.
(21:11):
That might be kind of cool.
That'd get pricey after a minute though.
But if we're going to dick around in one place, ain't going to be Houston.
It's going to be Miami.
That's true.
Maybe we should just go drink to Miami then.
Well, how much is that?
Let's see how much that costs.
Let's see.
Uh, okay.
Houston or I'm sorry.
Well, it's, it's gotta depend on who's playing.
Yeah, that's true.
(21:31):
Cause I don't know.
We don't know who's playing where Miami international airport search.
Okay.
So from Ontario, there are no, okay.
You know what?
Fuck man.
That's actually not that much more.
(21:51):
Okay.
So it's longer, right?
Because there's also no nonstop flight.
It's six hours and 53 minutes with one stop.
That's like an hour layover in Houston actually.
So it's round trip to 48 from, from United.
That might be better, but you know, Americans also to 48, but it's a nine.
(22:14):
It's a three hour stop in Phoenix.
Well, this is, this is for September.
This isn't for 2026.
So who knows what it's going to be then, but, um, out of United or American, I really play
American.
All right.
But again, that's, oh, American has one that's a six hour.
It's the same layover or it's the same flight time.
Cause it's one stop, one stop.
(22:34):
And it's like, I think it's a changeover.
So it's one stop in Dallas, Fort Worth.
And then that's an hour.
Layover an hour, 57 minutes.
The other one's 59 from United.
So you said Americans better.
What?
Oh, all right.
So yeah, we're definitely going to the fucking world baseball classics at some point next
(22:57):
year or two years.
We just found ways to make it work.
Oh yeah.
So this is going to be awesome.
So anyways, uh, we're at a 23 minutes.
So I was going to say, I don't know if I even want to bring this up, but bring it up the
angels.
All right.
So there's another development now with the whole stadium controversy where basically
(23:20):
when they did all this fucking audit shit and all this weird shit, I guess they found
that the angels haven't necessarily been keeping up their end of the bargain on the lease.
They supposedly haven't been putting enough infrastructure in and they haven't been doing
the maintenance that was supposed to have been done.
And there was a couple other things that they were supposed to have done.
Now the state has sent in an auditor because of all of the, you know, improprieties that
(23:44):
were going on with the Anaheim mayor prior to this whole thing, which is why the whole
deal fell through in the first place.
And honestly, I think that deal falling through is really what fucked us because if already
Moreno would have been able to buy the stadium and then build his stupid little apartments
or whatever bullshit he wanted to build around there, I think he'd be dumping a lot more
money into this team to make them competitive.
(24:06):
And that's that, that hurts me because our owner doesn't give a shit about us.
Doesn't give a shit about the team.
He's only doing this for the money, which like I get it.
Probably most MLB owners are doing that, but to be this blatant about it is just, that's
what hurts me.
And so anyways, now they're saying like, oh, that potentially the lease will be invalidated
(24:33):
and then like they'll have to, I mean, likely they'll just come up with a new lease, right?
But there is a spot, a small possibility, however small it may be that we can get them
here in Riverside.
Well, that the stadium will be like, they won't let them come back.
The city will be like, no, go fuck yourselves.
So they'd have to move somewhere.
Now remember a while back when they were, when they were trying to flex on the deal
(24:57):
saying like, Hey, if you don't want to do it, we'll start looking, we're going to start
vetting other cities.
Yeah.
And then that Riverside was the top one was the top one.
So dude, that'll fuck up traffic here.
So fucking bad, but oh my God, that'd be so awesome, dude.
So fucking worth it to just be able to go to it.
We would buy season tickets for sure.
Like there's no fucking way we wouldn't.
Um, I do it.
(25:17):
If they didn't, if they didn't build over there, if they didn't build the South Corona,
yeah, all those fucking mansions.
Oh yeah.
They could have put it there.
They could have put it there.
That would have been a nice spot too, man.
Yeah.
But you ever been up there?
Yeah.
Fuck.
I drove there for some reason.
My map took me there when I was trying to go to, um, our, my DND session up in Rancho
(25:38):
and like I was driving my Mustang at the time.
Like I was like, I was lowering property values just by being in there.
So yeah, I, I hope this doesn't fucking turn into the worst case scenario because
(25:59):
him selling the team.
I mean him leaving the California.
Yeah.
Cause I don't think he's going to stay in California.
I think that was just a flex on Anaheim to say, Oh, there's other places locally that
we could just move the team to and it'll be fine.
I think if he truly was going to leave, move the team or had to move them, he would get
taken to another state.
I feel like.
So, I mean, I know he loves LA.
(26:20):
For some reason they're considered the angels are considered the worst thing with baseball
whether they're not, they're definitely not.
I mean, their teams that are the white socks are the worst fucking team of baseball right
now.
Um, what'd you call it?
So they're, their options are limited, but there are, there's going to be states that
say, Hey, we never had a team before.
(26:40):
What do you want?
Well, yeah.
I mean, honestly, right now with this whole deal with the A's potentially moving to Vegas,
I mean, I think that the angels are a much more attractive franchise than the A's.
So at least now they are.
Yeah.
I don't think there's any deals done.
Do you remember like five, six years ago when they were our biggest rivals?
Yeah.
Yeah.
(27:01):
And now they're not.
So, uh, but yeah, like, I don't know, man.
If it does go down like that, I really hope that he can, that they will do what they did
with the chargers and give them a temporary stadium.
Yeah.
And listen, as much as we don't want it, they'd probably just end up sharing the Dodgers or
the fucking Padres stadium for a couple of years.
(27:23):
Yeah.
And hopefully like, hopefully they fucking do that Riverside deal.
Yeah, that'd be sweet.
That is the best option.
Like the best, that's the best case scenario for us.
For us.
Yeah.
For the angels.
Yeah, definitely.
We, we definitely, I would say let's let's check by the team, but he's not on to be the
Dodgers.
So yeah.
(27:44):
So fuck that.
Sorry, Shaq.
Unless you sell your steak in the Dodgers, you don't get the own shit.
You know who should buy it?
A stake in the angels when, when they sell it is, Oh, wait a minute.
What are you going to say?
I was gonna say Kobe, but he's dead.
So that's not gonna happen.
You know who should really buy a fucking stake in the angels?
Disney.
Disney.
Fuck it.
You know, that is when we were the best.
(28:06):
When we were the, and that's also when we were the California angels.
That's when we won the world series was when they were owned by Disney.
So I kind of think they should get back into the ball.
Well, hell they own the fucking, uh, God, what team is it?
The devil rays, the Tampa Bay rays.
They bought them because they they've changed the stadium now where it's everything's all
(28:29):
going to be like digital.
And essentially every game is going to be a new Disney theme.
Like every game, even the jerseys, every home game.
So they are there.
They can't buy the angels.
Yeah.
Cause they all fuck.
Cause they already own an American league fucking team.
Well, no, you can't own multiple teams.
Damn.
Um, so, but who are you going to say should own the angels again?
(28:50):
No, not them.
Yeah.
Well, who are you going to say before I interrupted you?
I don't know.
I was going to just make up somebody, but you know who should know, you know who should
really buy the angels?
Vince McMahon.
Vince McMahon should buy the fucking instead of starting a new wrestling promotion by the
Los Angeles angels of Anaheim and, oh no, they're just Los Angeles angels now.
(29:14):
And then change the name to the California angels, move them to Riverside or hell change
the name altogether.
Call them the, the inland empire fucking angels or whatever.
I don't know.
Fuck.
I'd be cool with the new name, whatever the angels of the, the angels of the empire, angels
of the infield angels.
(29:34):
I, you had to pay, you had to pay homage to the whole inland empire thing.
That's true.
You got to do something.
Angels empire, dude.
There you go.
Just the merchandise sells itself.
Yeah, it does.
God damn.
Disney owned a baseball team.
Okay.
Man, don't they own like a 2% stake?
(29:59):
I don't think they actually own another baseball team right now.
Cause don't they actually own a stake in the angels still like 10%?
Uh, oh no, wait, it does say Disney officially buys Tampa Bay rays for $1.5 billion and they're
building a brand new $2 billion baseball stadium at Walden's new world.
(30:19):
They owned, God, dude, they sold them immediately after the world series, winning the world
series.
How's that?
That was going to be their highest value.
But that sucks, man.
That fucking sucks.
They should have made another angels in the outfield movie.
Yeah.
We're after winning the world series.
(30:41):
True.
Cause it's literally been just straight downhill from there.
I mean in 20 years already Marinos owned this team for 21 years and it's, he's done nothing
with it.
Literally.
We went like the first five, six years after when the world series to always make it into
the playoffs to we haven't been to the playoffs since.
No, we haven't been to the playoffs in 10 2014 was the last time I'm just saying.
(31:06):
And since then, since then we made it to the playoffs, I think like two or three times
since then and we've only made it to the ALCS one more time and we lost.
I think that was in 2014, but either way it's very, it's a sad day.
It's a sad day.
(31:26):
Yeah.
I think we're gonna give it up.
I feel like this is coming to an end.
This, this already Moreno ownership of the angels.
Uh, I don't know how much he paid for it.
How much did they sell it to him?
Disney sells the team.
(31:48):
They sold it to him.
Uh, wait.
How much did the, the Disney sell the angels for?
Wow.
They sold it.
(32:08):
The angels for $183 and a half million dollars.
That's it.
That's it for $183 million.
What are the values are the angels worth?
Right now that's got an estimated value of $2.7 billion.
(32:30):
I don't know why he hasn't sold the fucking team already because he's clearly not interested.
I mean, personnel choices, maybe he tried a little bit when he was getting poo host
and he was doing some things, but like after that we haven't seen shit.
So I don't know, man.
(32:53):
This was just a gimmick for him.
I feel, well, I mean, it's a 21 year fucking gimmick.
He bought it in oh three.
It's oh four has been 21 years, 21 seasons.
He's, he's like, thanks.
Somebody who buys a fucking treadmill.
Oh yeah.
They fucking played with it a lot when they first got it.
But then after that it's just sits in the closet.
It's still there.
Yeah.
I mean, it is probably giving him a lot of passive fucking income basically because he's
(33:17):
not managing it clearly, but I don't know, man.
I feel like if I was the owner of a baseball, of the MLB team, like I would also be like
running shit.
Like I wouldn't just be, I'd hire guys that knew, like I'd hire some front office people
who knew how all that shit worked.
And I'd be like, Hey, you guys are here to advise us on making decisions.
(33:40):
Like if game rage bought the angels, like we'd be like, listen, you guys are here.
You're going to fucking run this.
You're going to, you're going to advise us on what to do, but we're going to make the
fucking final calls.
And like, we're going to fucking do this.
So I don't give a shit how any other owner does it.
This is not an investment for us.
This is a, this is a lifestyle.
All right.
(34:01):
We want to make the angels great again.
Fuck.
That's the new, that's, that's the first thing we do.
We since they're in orange County, we steal the Trump branding, make the angels great
again.
And we just say, this is the new campaign.
No, like I said, we're going to move into the river side so we can make them the angels
empire.
Yeah.
Angels empire, the angels empire.
That's just what the teams we've been called TAE the angels empire.
(34:22):
That'll be the tag on the, on the fucking scoreboard.
Yeah.
We're not going to represent California.
We're going to represent IE.
Yeah.
Fuck.
Yeah.
Anyways.
All right.
You got anything else to add?
No.
All right.
Let's get out of here.
Thank you guys for listening.

Everybody likes incense.

Today we're going to talk about the Olympics and the result of the Olympics, of said Olympics.
But before we do that, we just want to say...
(01:54):
USA, USA, USA, USA.
Fuck, yeah.
Fuck everyone else.
Fuck all the other countries.
Especially Canada.
Why Canada?
I don't know, I just like saying that.
I was going to say especially China.
Yeah, double for China.
China.
China.
But if you want to listen to our other podcast where we say fuck every other country at the
(02:19):
same time as well...
Well, honestly, we just focus on China and Russia on that one.
That's true.
Well, at least we do.
Yeah, yeah.
But you can go to gameragemagazine.com.

Anyways, 2024 Paris Olympics, the United States handily whooping that ass.
(03:09):
Whooping that ass so bad.
We for total number of medals, we beat, we had 126 fucking medals.
China, the number two was 35 medals behind us at 91.
(03:35):
And you want to know what number three was?
Japan.
And you want to fucking know how many medals behind us.
Japan is or was.
Made it home.
Oh good.
The third place was 81 medals behind us.
(03:59):
Now I will say the only negative, the only negative to this is that in terms of gold
medals.
We still win in that category because the tiebreaker is the silver.
No, we win all the way around.
I'm just saying I would have liked to have the two categories is the gold most gold medals
(04:23):
and most medals overall.
Yeah.
So the most gold medals we win because we beat them with the tiebreaker, which is silver.
Yeah we basically got like almost double what they had in silver.
So yeah, so we both categories we won.
Yeah.
(04:44):
So we handily whooped everyone's fucking ass.
Everyone's fucking ass.
Now total medals.
Like close.
Okay.
So yeah, gold medals, total medals.
(05:07):
We win.
Right.
We win every, we win in every category.
We tie for gold, but the silver is the tiebreaker.
Yeah.
We win in silver.
We win in bronze.
Oh yeah.
We beat them in bronze too.
And we win it overall.
There's we won every category.
We won three of the four categories and tied on the fourth category.
(05:29):
No, we won that one because the tiebreaker is the silver.
Okay.
Well either way we handle, we won every single fucking category.
We swept them.
We swept the fucking summer Olympics.
And in 2026 we have upcoming the winter Olympics in Los Angeles.
Is it Los Angeles?
No, it's a summer one, right?
Yeah.
The next summer one is going to be, let me just see where the 2026 winter Olympics are
(05:51):
going to be.
Those look like those are going to be in Milan in Italy, Milan and Cortina de Appanzi.
So I can't say that it's going to be in fucking Italy.
So I have a feeling we're also going to fucking do some ass whipping in winter coming up in
two years.
(06:12):
So winter Olympians, you're at the halfway mark.
You got two fucking years because it's going to happen in February 2026.
17 months.
So you got less than two years, you sons of bitches.
(06:33):
You better fucking get your shit going.
But anyways, we whooped everybody's ass.
And I have to say, pretty great.
It's pretty great to see that.
It's pretty great to see that.
This further indicates our true American dominance.
(06:56):
And this is going to, this is a, maybe a subtopic with the CUP, the Central Unintelligence
podcast, but I do think that Olympic medal or Olympic performance is directly related
to military performance because this, because the only one close to us is China and Russia's
(07:19):
not even in sight.
Russia's not even on the board.
And I think that this falls through, cause who was number three?
Japan.
So I think this shows us that we are still clearly handily the top dog in the world.
I don't know if China necessarily is at number two, but whatever.
We'll give it to them for now.
If they are, it's a, well, they're a far second clearly by the metals.
(07:46):
And Japan's number three.
Well, Japan's on our team.
So honestly, look, honestly, Japan, Japan, China isn't there because at this point, second
place is we're at second place too.
Yeah.
We're in first and second place.
So it's like our Navy.
We have the first, second and third largest fleet.
Yeah, true.
Exactly.
So therefore I think this bodes well for world, world war three, we're going to fucking whoop
(08:12):
some ass.
Um, what else do you guys say about the wonderful Olympics?
Uh, did you see the closing ceremonies?
I saw the Tom Cruise coming down from the fucking rafters.
Uh, well, did you see how, uh, they were adding, um, uh, crowd noises?
(08:34):
Oh, they were.
Cause people were just not doing anything.
Damn.
That's funny.
That's crazy.
This was a, uh, medals and all that aside, this was a catastrophic failure for France.
Oh, this was a, well, this was a catastrophic failure for the Olympic committee.
Yeah.
I mean, cause they're the ones that did all this shit.
The French didn't, I mean, they just hosted it, but they didn't have any like, Oh, this
(08:57):
is how the shit's going to go.
And this is the performers we're going to have.
No, the Olympic committee picked all that shit.
So I mean, they fucked up man, all the way around.
They fucked up and not just because of the opening ceremonies, whatever bullshit.
I don't even care about that.
Cardboard beds, cardboard beds, forcing the vegan diet.
(09:19):
That is just insane.
Only people you cannot worship.
God is the one that's pissing me off too.
Insane.
Like I'm not religious, but I'm like, but this is why America is number one, because
we at least say, Hey, you better let these assholes say what they want to say and worship
who they want to worship.
You ain't going to tell us.
(09:39):
No, we're America.
That's honestly, honestly, that's like saying, Hey, we know you won the gold medal, but we're
not going to play your anthem.
Yeah.
Basically.
Fuck you.
I won the gold medal.
Do what the fuck I want.
There will never be a after world war three and the massive amount of war crimes that
(10:00):
we're going to commit.
There will not be a U S Olympic committee like the Russians have.
No, no, no.
There's a big difference in that though.
Russia had to back out because you know, they had to, if they tell us that we have to back
out, we're going to tell them no.
And there's nobody that can tell them they can tell the set after us.
(10:21):
Yeah, right.
Exactly.
So they can tell Russia no, because we're going to tell Russia no.
Yeah.
And so, and for two reasons, one for America and two, we have just fought world war three.
There is no, we're going to be like Thorin Thorin from, um, um, put that Viking anime.
Oh, uh, Vinland Saga.
(10:43):
Yeah.
Vinland Saga.
There you go.
We just had at the end.
He just stands up.
I have no enemies.
Yeah.
I have no enemies.
Damn, that's going to be us.
Fucking a, I don't know, man.
This is just like we, the only, we always dominating in the Olympics.
Yeah.
(11:03):
Um, so it's like, I remember the people were talking shit cause we weren't even in the,
we weren't even in the top 10 for a while.
Yeah.
I was like, yeah, keep talking, dude.
Like it's, it's inevitable.
Yeah.
Cause you don't, you're counting your chickens before they hatch.
True fucking story.
(11:23):
And there's not a goddamn thing you can do about it either.
Phallus said it best.
All the, just remember that everybody in every sport around the world that we don't plan,
you won first place, but in reality it's silver because we just haven't played yet.
That's true.
That's true.
(11:44):
And the Olympics proved that because what, two years ago at the last winter Olympics,
we won first place in curling.
Yeah.
It was our first, it was our first time actually competing.
That is true.
This year we won rugby.
Yeah.
Cause we fucking whooped all the asses and shit that we don't even normally whoop ass
in that we'd never even played.
So everyone talking shit.
(12:05):
Oh, you guys didn't win anything in the shooting.
Yeah.
We lost in the air guns.
Yeah.
Don't worry.
When it comes to a actual shooting in war, we'll definitely be winning that battle.
What happened to the fucking result metal table?
(12:26):
There it is.
And that lady, man.
Yeah.
She, she, she single handedly ruined an entire sport for the Olympics.
Oh yeah.
The fucking break dancing.
Yeah.
That was pretty bad, man.
And they said that's it.
Never again.
Yep.
All because of that lady, man.
So either she's either she called Australia to pay for her vacation to Paris or she legit
(12:52):
thought she was one of the best performers in the world.
So she's either my hero or a piece of shit or she's delusional as fuck.
Yeah.
Very, very good.
Where will be, um, just to say again in gold medals real quick, cause I didn't say the
goal we had 40 obviously, well, technically 41 with the wind of the tiebreaker.
(13:15):
Cause I'm trying to also had 40, but Japan, you know how many fucking gold medals they
had 10 20, they had half.
Yeah.
We beat the, we beat the next guy by double and everyone else was below that.
So again, domination break dancing has never happened again, but whatever, I feel like
they should bring baseball back.
(13:38):
No, because that's just maybe now because the majority of MLB players are no longer
American.
That's what I'm saying.
Like I think they really should bring them because the world baseball classic, it does
that because the Olympics stopped letting baseball come in.
So that's why they made the Olympic.
Remember they tried to get rid of the, try to get rid of basketball because we were always
dominating that.
Right.
(13:59):
I mean, Japan won the world baseball classic last year.
So I mean, which is essentially the, which I do, I don't know if you're down, but I
do kind of want to go because next year for the world baseball classic, it's going to
be, I think they have the closest to us.
I think it's in Arizona.
They have, they have some games going on, I think in Arizona and then they have some
(14:21):
in Texas.
So I'm kind of thinking it might be kind of cool to go and like watch.
I don't know.
Obviously we don't know the schedule of who's fucking playing.
Of course I'd want to see team USA play and not, I don't really give a shit about anybody
else, but it would be kind of cool to go fucking like, yeah, watch that.
So I'm kind of thinking next year we might've taken an excursion to wherever we can get
(14:43):
into.
But yeah, so the next world baseball classic is in 20, oh no, it's not next year.
It's in 2026.
So two years.
So we got two years.
So it's even better.
Yeah.
It's going to be, there's two spots in America.
It's Miami and Houston.
(15:03):
So I fucked up.
It was Miami, not the other one, but it's going to be at Miami and Houston.
It will be at the Minute Maid Park.
That's the Astros.
That's cool.
I mean, neither of us has ever been to the Astros fucking stadium.
So shit, we never even been to fucking Houston either.
So that's cool.
I mean, we went to fucking Austin, which was cool, but I mean, we wouldn't have to fly
(15:24):
to you because, oh yeah, no, I don't necessarily want to do that drive again.
I think we would have to fly.
It'd be less than 20.
No, it'd be more because it's Houston closer or further.
I think it's further.
I think it's, is there a closer to the panhandle?
Google maps.
Or am I thinking about Dallas?
You might be thinking about Dallas.
Google maps.
Let's just, let's just see for shits and giggles real quick.
(15:45):
Cause I'm curious to see.
Houston, Texas from our place is, oh shit.
Let's see.
Houston, Texas is closer to Louisiana that yeah.
So it's well shit.
Honestly, it's like the next major city over from Houston.
I mean Austin.
So it's actually like.
(16:05):
Is it in Dallas, north of Houston?
Dallas is north of Austin.
Houston is East and a little South.
Isn't it like a triangle?
Yeah, it's where it's Dallas and all kind of, yeah, it's kind of like a triangle.
Um, Hey, it's gotta go to Austin again and go visit Rooster.
Oh wait.
(16:26):
Oh wait, they're dead.
So basically, yeah, I mean we can shoot through like we did last time and basically go to
it's the same exact fucking route.
It's to San Antonio and then I mean that drive was fun at all, but I don't think I could
get the time off to drive there.
Yeah.
Cause it took us 24 hours nonstop.
(16:47):
Yeah.
We would have to do two days of traveling, like traveling both ways.
So I mean a flight, let's just see.
Cause I'm curious as to what a flight is.
Uh, do they have flights?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm just going to fucking see where we'll see.
Oh cool.
They have it going out of Ontario.
Yeah.
And nonstop from Ontario, which is the one we want to go to.
(17:09):
Cause we don't want to go to fucking LAX Ontario to Houston.
Three hours.
Yeah.
So, and they do, they do nonstop two to three trips a day.
But that's what I'm saying.
Like if we drive there, we would have to drive there, watch the game the same day we get
there.
Yeah.
Maybe spend the night there and drive back.
(17:31):
True.
So if we fly there, we can probably spend one or two days there the day before and leave
the day after the game.
Well, I mean it's only a three hour flight.
So I mean we could literally leave, we could literally leave, be there the same day.
Well, three hours late, well it'd be six hours, five hours because of the time difference
because it was two hours ahead.
Right?
So it'd be like, it'd be like a five hour difference.
(17:52):
So if we left at 5 AM, we'd be there at 8 AM, so 10 AM.
But what I'm saying is we can go there, stay there for like two to three days.
Oh yeah.
We could probably spend the same amount of time we would have been driving.
Right.
Except we would have spent two to three days there instead of the two days driving or whatever.
And I have to watch the game jet lagged.
I mean not jet lagged.
(18:13):
Yeah, tired.
Well, it'd be road trip lagged, I guess is technically probably the right term.
We could spend the jet lag just relaxing.
Yeah.
Shit.
We could spend 12 hours getting jet lagged and it still would be better than driving
or whatever.
Oh man.
My only fucking hang up.
Dude, Frontier Air is the airline right now, like to go next week or in three weeks.
(18:35):
191 bucks round trip.
That's cheap.
But fuck Frontier, dude.
Hey man, fucking our good buddy, our good buddy Chow rode on Frontier from Vegas here.
Yeah, but that was just a 20 minute flight.
Yeah, that's true.
There's no other airlines that fly out there?
There's United and Southwest, but they're not.
That's cheap.
United, Southwest.
(18:56):
It's more, it's a lot more expensive.
It's 500 bucks.
United, yeah, but what about Southwest?
It's more expensive.
It's, well, United's 443 and this one's 538 and it's not a, oh no, they're both nonstop.
So how much Southwest?
Southwest is $538.
Wow.
So it would have to be Spirit, man.
(19:21):
You mean Frontier?
Hey Frontier.
That's the only way we can afford to go.
It's going to be a horrible three hours.
Oh yeah, it's going to be the worst three hours ever.
And then you know what would be crazy is if we raw dogged it and brought nothing and just
stared at the back of the seat in front of us.
I'm not going to do that, but yeah, I mean, but listen for three hours, if we're sitting
(19:42):
there on our fucking iPads or dicking around.
That's funny because I probably have to buy two seats because I'm so fat.
Uh huh.
Maybe where's the button?
It's fat.
Oh, wait a minute.
You're fat.
Oh, I turned it down.
But anyways, I can still buy the two tickets and it'll still be cheaper than the Southwest.
(20:04):
Oh, that is true.
It still would be cheaper.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, I would do that.
So I don't know something.
I mean, honestly, I mean, it would be cheaper than renting a car and driving with.
Yeah, I mean, between the two of us, if we split gas, I mean, yeah, we're going to spend,
we're going to spend at least this flight cost in fuel.
(20:27):
Probably a G in total.
Probably what's, what's the new term for a G?
A band, a band.
Yeah.
I think it's kind of bad.
Oh my God.
I don't know.
But either way, world baseball classic 2026.
We're fucking going.
And honestly, fuck man.
I wonder what a flight from Miami to Houston to Miami is.
(20:49):
And we just go, we go to, we go from Ontario to Houston and we set the round trip back
for like three days later.
And then we see the game, like when we're there that day or whatever, and then go from
Houston to Miami and go see the game the next day and then go back Miami to Houston and
then be back, dick around, maybe see another game and then jump on the flight and go back.
(21:11):
That might be kind of cool.
That'd get pricey after a minute though.
But if we're going to dick around in one place, ain't going to be Houston.
It's going to be Miami.
That's true.
Maybe we should just go drink to Miami then.
Well, how much is that?
Let's see how much that costs.
Let's see.
Uh, okay.
Houston or I'm sorry.
Well, it's, it's gotta depend on who's playing.
Yeah, that's true.
(21:31):
Cause I don't know.
We don't know who's playing where Miami international airport search.
Okay.
So from Ontario, there are no, okay.
You know what?
Fuck man.
That's actually not that much more.
(21:51):
Okay.
So it's longer, right?
Because there's also no nonstop flight.
It's six hours and 53 minutes with one stop.
That's like an hour layover in Houston actually.
So it's round trip to 48 from, from United.
That might be better, but you know, Americans also to 48, but it's a nine.
(22:14):
It's a three hour stop in Phoenix.
Well, this is, this is for September.
This isn't for 2026.
So who knows what it's going to be then, but, um, out of United or American, I really play
American.
All right.
But again, that's, oh, American has one that's a six hour.
It's the same layover or it's the same flight time.
Cause it's one stop, one stop.
(22:34):
And it's like, I think it's a changeover.
So it's one stop in Dallas, Fort Worth.
And then that's an hour.
Layover an hour, 57 minutes.
The other one's 59 from United.
So you said Americans better.
What?
Oh, all right.
So yeah, we're definitely going to the fucking world baseball classics at some point next
(22:57):
year or two years.
We just found ways to make it work.
Oh yeah.
So this is going to be awesome.
So anyways, uh, we're at a 23 minutes.
So I was going to say, I don't know if I even want to bring this up, but bring it up the
angels.
All right.
So there's another development now with the whole stadium controversy where basically
(23:20):
when they did all this fucking audit shit and all this weird shit, I guess they found
that the angels haven't necessarily been keeping up their end of the bargain on the lease.
They supposedly haven't been putting enough infrastructure in and they haven't been doing
the maintenance that was supposed to have been done.
And there was a couple other things that they were supposed to have done.
Now the state has sent in an auditor because of all of the, you know, improprieties that
(23:44):
were going on with the Anaheim mayor prior to this whole thing, which is why the whole
deal fell through in the first place.
And honestly, I think that deal falling through is really what fucked us because if already
Moreno would have been able to buy the stadium and then build his stupid little apartments
or whatever bullshit he wanted to build around there, I think he'd be dumping a lot more
money into this team to make them competitive.
(24:06):
And that's that, that hurts me because our owner doesn't give a shit about us.
Doesn't give a shit about the team.
He's only doing this for the money, which like I get it.
Probably most MLB owners are doing that, but to be this blatant about it is just, that's
what hurts me.
And so anyways, now they're saying like, oh, that potentially the lease will be invalidated
(24:33):
and then like they'll have to, I mean, likely they'll just come up with a new lease, right?
But there is a spot, a small possibility, however small it may be that we can get them
here in Riverside.
Well, that the stadium will be like, they won't let them come back.
The city will be like, no, go fuck yourselves.
So they'd have to move somewhere.
Now remember a while back when they were, when they were trying to flex on the deal
(24:57):
saying like, Hey, if you don't want to do it, we'll start looking, we're going to start
vetting other cities.
Yeah.
And then that Riverside was the top one was the top one.
So dude, that'll fuck up traffic here.
So fucking bad, but oh my God, that'd be so awesome, dude.
So fucking worth it to just be able to go to it.
We would buy season tickets for sure.
Like there's no fucking way we wouldn't.
Um, I do it.
(25:17):
If they didn't, if they didn't build over there, if they didn't build the South Corona,
yeah, all those fucking mansions.
Oh yeah.
They could have put it there.
They could have put it there.
That would have been a nice spot too, man.
Yeah.
But you ever been up there?
Yeah.
Fuck.
I drove there for some reason.
My map took me there when I was trying to go to, um, our, my DND session up in Rancho
(25:38):
and like I was driving my Mustang at the time.
Like I was like, I was lowering property values just by being in there.
So yeah, I, I hope this doesn't fucking turn into the worst case scenario because
(25:59):
him selling the team.
I mean him leaving the California.
Yeah.
Cause I don't think he's going to stay in California.
I think that was just a flex on Anaheim to say, Oh, there's other places locally that
we could just move the team to and it'll be fine.
I think if he truly was going to leave, move the team or had to move them, he would get
taken to another state.
I feel like.
So, I mean, I know he loves LA.
(26:20):
For some reason they're considered the angels are considered the worst thing with baseball
whether they're not, they're definitely not.
I mean, their teams that are the white socks are the worst fucking team of baseball right
now.
Um, what'd you call it?
So they're, their options are limited, but there are, there's going to be states that
say, Hey, we never had a team before.
(26:40):
What do you want?
Well, yeah.
I mean, honestly, right now with this whole deal with the A's potentially moving to Vegas,
I mean, I think that the angels are a much more attractive franchise than the A's.
So at least now they are.
Yeah.
I don't think there's any deals done.
Do you remember like five, six years ago when they were our biggest rivals?
Yeah.
Yeah.
(27:01):
And now they're not.
So, uh, but yeah, like, I don't know, man.
If it does go down like that, I really hope that he can, that they will do what they did
with the chargers and give them a temporary stadium.
Yeah.
And listen, as much as we don't want it, they'd probably just end up sharing the Dodgers or
the fucking Padres stadium for a couple of years.
(27:23):
Yeah.
And hopefully like, hopefully they fucking do that Riverside deal.
Yeah, that'd be sweet.
That is the best option.
Like the best, that's the best case scenario for us.
For us.
Yeah.
For the angels.
Yeah, definitely.
We, we definitely, I would say let's let's check by the team, but he's not on to be the
Dodgers.
So yeah.
(27:44):
So fuck that.
Sorry, Shaq.
Unless you sell your steak in the Dodgers, you don't get the own shit.
You know who should buy it?
A stake in the angels when, when they sell it is, Oh, wait a minute.
What are you going to say?
I was gonna say Kobe, but he's dead.
So that's not gonna happen.
You know who should really buy a fucking stake in the angels?
Disney.
Disney.
Fuck it.
You know, that is when we were the best.
(28:06):
When we were the, and that's also when we were the California angels.
That's when we won the world series was when they were owned by Disney.
So I kind of think they should get back into the ball.
Well, hell they own the fucking, uh, God, what team is it?
The devil rays, the Tampa Bay rays.
They bought them because they they've changed the stadium now where it's everything's all
(28:29):
going to be like digital.
And essentially every game is going to be a new Disney theme.
Like every game, even the jerseys, every home game.
So they are there.
They can't buy the angels.
Yeah.
Cause they all fuck.
Cause they already own an American league fucking team.
Well, no, you can't own multiple teams.
Damn.
Um, so, but who are you going to say should own the angels again?
(28:50):
No, not them.
Yeah.
Well, who are you going to say before I interrupted you?
I don't know.
I was going to just make up somebody, but you know who should know, you know who should
really buy the angels?
Vince McMahon.
Vince McMahon should buy the fucking instead of starting a new wrestling promotion by the
Los Angeles angels of Anaheim and, oh no, they're just Los Angeles angels now.
(29:14):
And then change the name to the California angels, move them to Riverside or hell change
the name altogether.
Call them the, the inland empire fucking angels or whatever.
I don't know.
Fuck.
I'd be cool with the new name, whatever the angels of the, the angels of the empire, angels
of the infield angels.
(29:34):
I, you had to pay, you had to pay homage to the whole inland empire thing.
That's true.
You got to do something.
Angels empire, dude.
There you go.
Just the merchandise sells itself.
Yeah, it does.
God damn.
Disney owned a baseball team.
Okay.
Man, don't they own like a 2% stake?
(29:59):
I don't think they actually own another baseball team right now.
Cause don't they actually own a stake in the angels still like 10%?
Uh, oh no, wait, it does say Disney officially buys Tampa Bay rays for $1.5 billion and they're
building a brand new $2 billion baseball stadium at Walden's new world.
(30:19):
They owned, God, dude, they sold them immediately after the world series, winning the world
series.
How's that?
That was going to be their highest value.
But that sucks, man.
That fucking sucks.
They should have made another angels in the outfield movie.
Yeah.
We're after winning the world series.
(30:41):
True.
Cause it's literally been just straight downhill from there.
I mean in 20 years already Marinos owned this team for 21 years and it's, he's done nothing
with it.
Literally.
We went like the first five, six years after when the world series to always make it into
the playoffs to we haven't been to the playoffs since.
No, we haven't been to the playoffs in 10 2014 was the last time I'm just saying.
(31:06):
And since then, since then we made it to the playoffs, I think like two or three times
since then and we've only made it to the ALCS one more time and we lost.
I think that was in 2014, but either way it's very, it's a sad day.
It's a sad day.
(31:26):
Yeah.
I think we're gonna give it up.
I feel like this is coming to an end.
This, this already Moreno ownership of the angels.
Uh, I don't know how much he paid for it.
How much did they sell it to him?
Disney sells the team.
(31:48):
They sold it to him.
Uh, wait.
How much did the, the Disney sell the angels for?
Wow.
They sold it.
(32:08):
The angels for $183 and a half million dollars.
That's it.
That's it for $183 million.
What are the values are the angels worth?
Right now that's got an estimated value of $2.7 billion.
(32:30):
I don't know why he hasn't sold the fucking team already because he's clearly not interested.
I mean, personnel choices, maybe he tried a little bit when he was getting poo host
and he was doing some things, but like after that we haven't seen shit.
So I don't know, man.
(32:53):
This was just a gimmick for him.
I feel, well, I mean, it's a 21 year fucking gimmick.
He bought it in oh three.
It's oh four has been 21 years, 21 seasons.
He's, he's like, thanks.
Somebody who buys a fucking treadmill.
Oh yeah.
They fucking played with it a lot when they first got it.
But then after that it's just sits in the closet.
It's still there.
Yeah.
I mean, it is probably giving him a lot of passive fucking income basically because he's
(33:17):
not managing it clearly, but I don't know, man.
I feel like if I was the owner of a baseball, of the MLB team, like I would also be like
running shit.
Like I wouldn't just be, I'd hire guys that knew, like I'd hire some front office people
who knew how all that shit worked.
And I'd be like, Hey, you guys are here to advise us on making decisions.
(33:40):
Like if game rage bought the angels, like we'd be like, listen, you guys are here.
You're going to fucking run this.
You're going to, you're going to advise us on what to do, but we're going to make the
fucking final calls.
And like, we're going to fucking do this.
So I don't give a shit how any other owner does it.
This is not an investment for us.
This is a, this is a lifestyle.
All right.
(34:01):
We want to make the angels great again.
Fuck.
That's the new, that's, that's the first thing we do.
We since they're in orange County, we steal the Trump branding, make the angels great
again.
And we just say, this is the new campaign.
No, like I said, we're going to move into the river side so we can make them the angels
empire.
Yeah.
Angels empire, the angels empire.
That's just what the teams we've been called TAE the angels empire.
(34:22):
That'll be the tag on the, on the fucking scoreboard.
Yeah.
We're not going to represent California.
We're going to represent IE.
Yeah.
Fuck.
Yeah.
Anyways.
All right.
You got anything else to add?
No.
All right.
Let's get out of here.
Thank you guys for listening.
We had a great time.
Go fucking angels.
Fuck the Dodgers.
