Chapter 1: What unexpected event led to Tony Clark's resignation?
There was always something out there that you didn't expect or didn't see or never thought was coming. And that was what happened yesterday with this Tony Clark situation. And, you know, normally the labor negotiations and baseball and the collective bargaining agreement, that stuff I hate talking about.
And we're going to have to talk a ton about it coming up because of what may happen with a work stoppage. But... Then you see the details of why Tony Clark, the MLBPA head, has to step down. And all of a sudden it becomes this scandalous story as there was a whistleblower that said, hey, weird stuff is going on here. There's some nepotism. There's some money that's missing.
And an investigation happens, an internal investigation. Not only do they find out there's some money missing, there's some nepotism, but Tony Clark is having an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law. That's a rough one.
Happy Valentine's Day? Yeah. Oh, God. I think about the week that this gets blown out on. Good God.
I know. That's another part of it, too. It's like, you know, I'll never forget that it was...

Chapter 2: What scandal emerged regarding Tony Clark and the MLBPA?
You talk about the news cycle and Friday news dump stuff. So I was in the newsroom, and it was right after Imus said the thing he said about the Rutgers women's basketball team. And there was a person in the newsroom who had been in radio for a long time and said it was Friday that he was looking at the paper, and it was a blurb in the paper.
And he goes, I still haven't figured out if this is a good thing or a bad thing for him. Meaning? That he was getting a lot of attention about this particular thing, and he hadn't gotten that type of attention in a while. But then it ended up blowing up because there was nothing else going on.
As we've talked about before, that Virginia Tech shooting, that horrible tragedy down there, happened like a week later. If it happened the next day, maybe people wouldn't have seen it.
Maybe we're all not here. Yeah, well, that's very true. Everything changes.
At least not as early as a new show started, right?
Yeah, no, you're not wrong about that.
So Tony Clark's probably thinking like, oh, great. I mean, you know, this couldn't have come out the same day that the Epstein Files came out like this.

Chapter 3: How does nepotism play a role in the Tony Clark situation?
Why is this happening now when nothing is going on in the sports world?
You are probably right about that, though I think his marriage is probably still over and he probably still does resign. It just would have been a little less noise around it. Oh, of course.
Yes, there's no doubt about it. All those things would have happened, but it's just that now everybody's talking about it where this would have been just a bit of a conversation as opposed to if it's the day after the Super Bowl, we're talking about it a little bit. Sure. But a lot of people are, of course, consuming it now.
And I asked the same question to Gina yesterday that Al asked CeeLo this morning on the warm-up show that a lot of people, I'm sure, have asked. Is it worse to bang your brother's wife or your wife's sister?
I don't think it matters. I think it does. I think they're both terrible.
Now, it's hard for me because... Now, do you have both?

Chapter 4: What impact does Tony Clark's resignation have on upcoming labor negotiations?
Do you have a wife, sister, and a brother, wife? No. You don't. All right, so I don't have both either because I'm an only child. Does anybody have both?
So what I have is I've got two sister-in-laws, one that I've talked about on this show, the naked sister-in-law, who would walk around and she stayed with us for six weeks and I'd come home from work and she liked to be naked in the house and she didn't know I was there. I would catch her naked in the house and say, oh, I didn't know you came home. I'll put some clothes on. Thank you.
She's just a free spirit type of person, you know, whatever. So, you know, I think because... We have the situation we have where I have two sister-in-laws. It felt worse to us if it was that situation. But then if you think about it, like if you have a brother, I don't have a brother, but if you have a brother. I do. He's just not married.
And then you're, you know, you're with his wife. They're both horrible. Really bad betrayals. To me, it's six and one half because you break the bond with your brother. That's the first. I mean, that's a problem. That's a big problem. I might even say that's worse because he's your brother. At least no disrespect to married people. I'm one of them. If you do that. She's your wife.
You get divorced. You move on, I suppose. Yeah, yeah. Your brother's always your brother. Yeah. So you know what? Now that I think about it, I think it's worse if you do it to your brother.
Yeah. And that's what it was. So Tony Clark's brother's wife is the one that got hired and the one they had an inappropriate relationship with. And we don't know the full details of it, but it's enough for him to step down. An inappropriate relationship generally means... You know, that they're doing it. They're doing it.
You would certainly think so. Just think about how you ruin everything. Like, again, you get divorced, you move on, your life is turned upside down for sure for a year or two, whatever it might take. Your life, it's your brother. That's forever. And those two have to get together now forever.
That's what I mean. Tony Clark and the sister-in-law now have to go in. Because, I mean, if this was just like, they got to be really in love with one another. If they risked it all, family and profession, for this relationship. They must really, really like one another, or they're just both really stupid, which I don't think that Tony Clark is.
Right, so your job is now gone. Your reputation is kind of in the mud. Your family probably hates you at this point. Move to the Dominican Republic or something. Yeah! I mean, I don't know how you go about... You have to apologize to everybody, and it would be ongoing. It's just a...

Chapter 5: Why is the timing of this scandal particularly significant?
It just means that it's someone who's close to you.
God, no. Are you out of your mind? I'm laughing through it, obviously. But everybody's different. There are some people that... have a very open marriage. And I don't know, maybe they are. I have no idea. Okay, there's open marriage, and then there's, you know. I'm agreeing. I agree with you.
What I'm saying is there are some people that believe in do whatever the hell you want as long as you come home at night. That's not me, and I don't think that's you, and I don't think it's a lot of people. So, no, I could not sell that to my wife.
You're like, could you?
No, of course not.
Okay. No, absolutely not. That's why when I started the question, I couldn't even barely get it out. But yeah, as I put out on X yesterday, he went full Pornhub category, like the sister-in-law.
is a category now it's not as popular as the step sister the step sister is the real one that everybody you know goes for but the the sister-in-law one is definitely up there as well i could not believe it when i was reading it and i know i shouldn't put anything past anybody anymore and i don't know any of these people it just still seems so far-fetched a you throw your career away
B, you throw your family away. And C, are you now going to be with this woman or is that going to be over as well? And D, do any of these people try to mend fences and move on?
Yeah, and you do this or this comes out just about, well, within the calendar year of the biggest moment of your job's career. if that makes sense, of your career in your particular profession. Because in December, the CBA expires, and this is one of the more important ones dating all the way back to, of course, the strike in 94. And in 2022, there were some issues, as we know.
