I have a sandwich that I had to custom build myself, which I did.
Domonique Foxworth 1:05
Are you talking about making a sandwich? Do you call it a custom build? When was the last time you fed yourself?
David Samson 1:10
Yo, check out the build on this sandwich. I did custom build the sandwich, and I can't test it and look at it because of our delay. I've been sitting in place for 15 minutes waiting, and I could have gotten the order myself and checked to make sure that it was right, and now I have to think about it through this entire show. which also does not make my brain happy. You're not catching me in a great moment.
Pablo Torre 1:35
Oh, man. What'd you get? What's your custom build? Yeah, what do we got? Can we guess? Can we guess? You won't be able to. What? He has such little faith in our ability to predict David Sampson's whims, Dominique.
Domonique Foxworth 1:46
I think he got a Lunchable.
Pablo Torre 1:48
You got a ham. You got a cheese. You got a little Capri Sun.
Domonique Foxworth 1:54
He's not going to eat ham.
David Samson 1:56
Oh, I said ham. I've literally never eaten ham in my life. Religious reasons. That's on me. Pablo, I am despondent right now. Yeah. That's on me. You don't seem like a tuna guy. Certainly not from a store or restaurant, no. A store or restaurant? Where the f*** are you getting your tuna? I'll make my own tuna.
Domonique Foxworth 2:17
Which you got the tuna from a store.
David Samson 2:20
No, no, I will make tuna from a can with Miracle Whip and Dijon mustard and green onion and avocado and cucumber. I will make that. Obviously, always with water and you drain it, but I will never order tuna in a restaurant. The sandwich so far sounds like it's going to be terrible. It's amazing. You just haven't figured out what it is. David, do you want to make the big reveal? What's the big reveal? It's turkey with Tijo mustard, lettuce, brie, cheddar, onion, cucumber, jalapeno. Oh, I see. That's a build.
Domonique Foxworth 2:52
Yeah, I didn't realize that. I retract your previous criticism.
Pablo Torre 2:55
That is the work of a structural engineer. That's a build? God damn. I told you. I don't lie to you guys. And that in some ways is its own concern. The share and tell topic I brought with both of you guys is this Juan Soto topic. And there is a part of the John Heyman reporting on this. He's the guy who's been on top of all of this. He tends to be on top of Scott Boris represented athletes, if you've been paying attention to the game within the game. But he has great color on this story, David. And so I just want to read a part of the reporting. Of course, Juan Soto, now a New York Met. They outbid the New York Yankees. The Mets paid $760 million over 15 years, a record price. All that stuff is true.
Pablo Torre 3:58
But it seems like one thing the Yankees would not budge on, which was startling to me, was the inclusion of a suite, a luxury suite. Quote, the Yankees felt they couldn't give a suite to Soto as part of this deal. When Judge, Aaron Judge, pays for his suite, and even Derek Jeter paid, they were willing to discount a suite, but not alter their precedent. Meanwhile, Steve Cohen, one of the 100 richest men in the world, apparently, quote, didn't give the suite much of a thought. When he has his eyes on a prize, he is singularly focused. And so Juan Soto got the super duper duper star treatment. And it made me think about the ways in which there is, in fact, levels of superstar treatment and gifts and benefits and privileges.
Pablo Torre 4:41
And both of you guys happen to have, I would say, personal viewpoints, I assume informed by your roles in your past lives.
David Samson 4:50
Let's first say that it was 765 over 15. Let's then say that there is no scenario under which Juan Soto chose the Mets because there was a suite included in the deal. The way these deals are negotiated is that you get to the rider after, which is season tickets or suite on the road meeting a hotel room, whether or not you pay for that or whether you have the player pay for the difference between a regular room and a suite.
