Alex Rodriguez (A‑Rod)

I started with you with our podcast, which was a lot of fun.

So all those things, this is stuff that I've been working now for north of 12 years.

So I think it would have been super disingenuous and probably old A-Rod would have done documentary in the middle of my thing and been like, no, I didn't want anybody to know about it.

That was the hardest thing I had to do.

And then reflecting so many years later, I think.

letting people know that it's OK to get help.

As a matter of fact, I was so broken.

I don't know how people can do it without some help.

You're very intuitive because if you fast forward to, that was 2021, I mean, 2001.

And if you fast forward 25 years, you know, when Juan Soto almost gets a billion dollars and Shohei Ohtani, they're celebrated like icons as they should because they earned it.

No one gave them anything.

So if you looked at me,

If we look now, and I go, let's play a trivia question, and you look back in my career and say, what would you get destroyed for?

Signing a big contract?

Will you earn it?

And at that point, I hadn't even jaywalked yet.

You know, I was just an innocent kid that came up in Seattle.

That, or would you get destroyed for this documentary?

I would have gone 100 to 0, this documentary would be destroyed.

Why would anyone destroy it?
