00:00Speaking of money, as we were, Shohei Ohtani is about to break an historic record this season,
00:10and it's not happening on the diamond. It is happening off the field.
00:15He is set to make, when it comes to endorsements, $125 million this year.
00:24Previous record was held by Tiger Woods, who in 2009 made $105 million endorsement-wise.
00:35But Shohei is going to collect a cool $125 million, which has nothing to do with what he is being
00:45paid on the field.
00:47And then you look at, because there are always these questions about the Dodgers, how do they do it?
00:53And not only do they pay guys at the end of the whole thing, but also when you have somebody
00:59who's making $125 million as a side hustle,
01:04they are okay with deferring the money.
01:06Yeah, not bad for Shohei.
01:09Pretty good.
01:09Yeah, that is spectacular. Man, that is a lot.
01:13Well, I think I need to check it, but when I was looking at this yesterday, would you like to
01:19guess, you probably will get it,
01:21when it comes to former athletes and endorsements, would you like to guess who makes the most?
01:27Oh, former players?
01:29Oh, this is easy.
01:30Jordan.
01:30Yes.
01:31Oh, is it?
01:33Would you like to guess how much Michael Jordan made endorsement-wise in 2024?
01:39Oh, I'm going to say close to-
01:41About 750K.
01:43A billy.
01:43I was going to say close to a billy as well.
01:45He made $300 million in endorsements.
01:50That's that Jordan brand, man.
01:52So is that just having his name attached to it?
01:54Like, it's not like appearing in a commercial or anything, because he doesn't really do that now.
01:58No, no.
01:58That's just the name, I would believe.
02:00It's really just having the name attached to it, which is unbelievable.
02:03I'm curious who endorses the most products, though, because I feel like Shaq endorses everything.
02:08I feel like Brady endorses everything now.
02:10He endorses Pizza Hut.
02:11Well, Shaq does Puppa John's.
02:14He does The General.
02:15He does Sour Patch Kids.
02:17Icy Hot.
02:18Yeah, Icy Hot.
02:19Does anybody do more endorsements than Greg Hill?
02:22Shaq has his chicken place.
02:25I think there's one here now locally, isn't there?
02:28I don't know if it opened or not, but it might have.
02:30I'll check.
02:31I believe that's Shaq's chicken.
02:33That's a great Shaq.
02:34That's pretty good.
02:35I will appreciate that.
02:36And you know what the thing about the Shohei?
02:38Can you do the glasses, Shaq?
02:40Yeah.
02:41Yes.
02:42Yes, it does.
02:43Okay, here we go.
02:44You know the great thing about the Shohei money?
02:47Now you sound like Shaq Trump.
02:50Because I believe a lot of that money is from the Asian market.
02:55And they spend big money.
02:57That's why Shohei make big money.
