Sohoy Otani wins his 4th MVP award in the last 5 years. And the same kind of scenario. I don't know where he was home or it's where the heck he was, right? Uh, his wife's there, the dog's there. And this is just now a week and a half since Shoe Otani spoke beautiful English at the end of the Dodgers championship parade, uh, out there in, uh, what do you, what do you guys call it, Shay ravine or something like that. Dodgers Stadium, whatever Chavez ravine, you know. I'm sorry, I'm not from LA, um, so he spoke, we, we did a whole segment on it like he speaks perfect English, right? So we know that the, the need for an interpreter is, is for Y. Now he's not the only one. There's a lot of other, you know, people who don't have English as their primary language, whether it be, you know, Spanish or German or whatever the case may be, right? Uh, who use interpreters. Now, the far majority of them, once they get to year 78. 910 in Major League Baseball. They only use the interpreter as a crutch and because they don't want to talk to the media, so they have the interpreter do it. I, I've been convinced, by the way, that a lot of these interpreters just make up what the dude said. Like, let's say my main language was gibberish, all right, and you're the reporter and, and you asked me a question. You gotta ask me a question. What's it like to win your 4th MVP? Right now I would say, you know. right, we don't know what the hell that means. Now I'm now I'm gonna be the interpreter. So I hear my client go, um, right? Well, it's really one of the most important things. It's a team sport and it's, it's great that I won, but this is really about the guys batting behind me and, uh, the great pitching staff and guys getting on base and giving me this amazing blah blah blah, right, because the interpreter ain't stupid. He knows. Right answer, right? God willing, best foot forward. All the cliches. All I said was Babadi, do do do do do. And the guy's like, I know what he meant. And he goes on like a soliloquy, right? OK, OK, now this is not just Japanese language guys, it's Spanish language, German language. I want to be clear. A lot of these guys we know as a fact use the interpreters as a crutch and because they don't want to speak English to you, OK? So. I made the comment a week ago and I think it kind of went viral that the more I think about it, now that I'm clearly aware that Shoheotani speaks perfect English and is capable of doing it, well, maybe the last interpreter, EPA, the guy that's in prison right now because of the gambling scandal and wire fraud and all that stuff, maybe he wasn't a real interpreter. Maybe he was just a gambling buddy and a buffer for Otani, and we're gonna learn more about the story later on in life, right? And that story went viral. So I know like if it gets a million views at some point, somebody close to the Dodgers saw it, somebody close to Otani saw it, players are aware of it, right? So I'm now convinced that yesterday when he wins the MVP award for the 4th time in 5th, uh, 5 years. And you know the questions that you asked the perfect question and we know the answer. You know, I'm humbled by it. You know, this is for my family and whatever, whatever. I'm not convinced someone said to me, yo, my man. You gotta go back to using the interpreter because people are on to you right now. People are now questioning why do you have an interpreter when you don't need an interpreter? And it was just interesting to me at the celebration of the 2nd consecutive World Series, no interpreter needed, and he spoke beautiful English. Now he's sitting at the crib. As Japan as he gets his 4th award and he obviously knows he's gonna win it, but he wouldn't have the camera set up on him, right? And all of a sudden he's looking around and he's like, man, I better use the interpreter before they time me to that gambling scandal again. I know I'm the only guy thinking it, but that's why I'm special. Can you honestly tell me that not a little part of you thinks there's something for gayy going on? Absolutely, but I believe each row was the same way. Each row, I feel like played 20 years, and he had the same interpreter that whole time. I know he spoke perfect English as well, perfect English. So yes, the question is only was it the gambling part. take it for the people think that's our guy Carl. I think that's part of it. Like I, I know the, the best story I ever heard about guys, um, not speaking English. Yo, Yao Ming, the great basketball player for the Houston Rockets, told this great story. I think it was at a Hall of Fame celebration for Shaq, OK, when Shaq got in. And Yao Ming, I don't know if Yao told her Shaq to the story, you know, so it's the same story like they played together and for an entire year never spoke to each other and they didn't speak to each other because Shaquille O'Neal assumed that Yao Ming couldn't speak English and Yao Ming assumed that Shaq was just standoffish and didn't want to talk to, so they never spoke at all. And then at some point he said. Good shot or something or the check goes, wait, you can speak English. I was like, yeah, yeah, of course I can. So I don't know. I just think the, the tiny thing just struck me as odd because we know he doesn't need it, um, and maybe because he's, you know, in his home country, it's more comfortable for the people around him who might not speak English, you know, whoever the, the family members outside of his wife, they were in that room. So maybe he's doing it for their benefit, so I wanna be fair about this, but there's something fishy going on, man.
