Brought your fired Jerry Kelly and John -- we are. Joined by. Perhaps. Futures -- From the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 1 Curt -- good morning -- I I I. I always thought you were better than. Call is isn't there a possible. But -- your balance is better than watched. Asking the question. And take a lot of hurt and I did. How journalist 10 look obviously my first question in the interview I would like to rip current are you planning are contemplating. Running for the vacancy. About it.
Here's what I said earlier -- and here's why I think it's a possibility. Is. Most people when they think about running they dread the idea of of campaigning of debating. Of being in the spotlight file however many months it takes they wanna be senator because it's the most exclusive club in the world than. It's it's it's a wonderfully prestigious job but. They dread that that that lead up to it to you on the other hand would relish the fight I'm guess.
The fight would be fun. Do the whole. But let me -- not so much that the play would be a lot of one because. And pretty much anybody figure -- right now that really have much expand our. Then there's there's nobody that can and -- it look what I've done over the last two or six people warriors. Because those all the people that the -- works from a tortured throughout four.
So what are the pros and cons of the decision.
But -- but -- there's a massive amount to conduct. Sanchez. Family time. Commitment. You know all the things that that come with Italy's. My -- is bitten exposed. And two to the public liked my kids for their -- My wife for for the last twenty years and part of part of walking away from the game was was walking away from a lot of that would be right back in the -- others. There's just a lot of on. You know the same time. You know there's a lot of cons in office in so that makes the both programs -- but there's a statistic to it's not -- merely as he's used. That it might be -- they have not opened the studio and beer and earnings does.
Well let's let's let's have a -- to the pros and.
On. -- abilities the world. The pro. You know IRA IA RD. Expense forty years -- in an industry where Eric got which vehicle payments and celebrity all of those that in the financials. The public that so none -- appearance and appropriate Iran. Which which I think cut away a lot of the reasoning behind oracle lot of the reason behind why a lot of other people do it. You know I I think it. It and I think there's so much broke here that that the the fixing PC you battle to -- looked very hard it took to pick up a piece of of of debris and start to have -- of performance fixes.
I I referred to the and Dennis Miller's take on Ross Perot is supported Ross Perot. A way back when and one of the things he said was. He eat he couldn't he like Perot Perot. Only knew how to speak his mind him and he would come out of big meeting -- you wouldn't believe what those union guys just offered me in there I mean there would be. That shut the light would be she would be shined on the process I'm -- Curt Schilling would know how to. Played the game.
Which is one of the reasons why I probably wouldn't work out well for com. Did make an argument that. Everybody wants fresh blood in -- play -- game but that's not all that is what people say in what what actually -- I'm very good for things.
how we've already taken calls I would never vote and one in because. You know he's whatever cautionary it's not --
They're supported bush is the number one reason I'd buy both present but that's the reason people would --
Adjusting to -- Bradley was a basketball player for the Nixon was was a guy that it was a Rhodes scholar and went to Princeton University is actually a political campaign or. For the Democratic Party and I believe ran for the Senate without for any particular experience other than. You know you campaigned for -- Republicans he campaigned for the Democrats like in that sense Europe and you you have nothing on Bradley in the evening.
America at a Rhode scholar but I did you didn't -- you can you can run for initial office like you I would have wrote speller. The county -- your candidate isn't that -- a -- Epstein well number one noticed well.
That's not a gimmick of a panic about the song you know there's no experience significantly -- it is -- use Wright is an enormous that. Because. You know. There's nobody -- there's nobody could go up against that you couldn't probably drag out a lot of the stuff that they've looked at the first -- proven that their status quo. But their business as usual and and we need anything but. It every shape and form moving forward.
And they would -- that be obligated to whatever than the unions or these the big Tribune writers.
That's what I think there would be -- pros would be there are absolutely zero ties an attachment and special interest them on on my hand and again that might. We want things to make it is an impossible thing for that happened. Because they say I it would have. -- Those that are so well I think a lot of the reasons why we find parcels where we are.
But currently you know you're you're like many other athletes -- obviously you've made a lot of money in. Baseball you have a great family -- to money free alas we all know that. But you have to reinvent itself somehow you're young man.
Yeah that's not gonna happen though.
Why does he have to he has to -- because he's got a brain and Kitt lived at his last fifty years of his life. And are doing now he's got to do something that would.
And so -- another thirty reduces my past and that's probably again not one of the com that's -- things don't preclude any this from from even happening.
financial disclosure forms will be a lot of fun.
Yes not. You people want baseball prospectus and development tools. -- in order to go for it with her. Again I don't go anywhere with the enemy is within its its turn it blown up into this ethnically huge thing and it's another. Situation or -- I don't look ahead. 22. 22 reactions from my -- did an interview yesterday were Italian -- about it thing. You know there's a lot but if you Google and you'll you'll understand very clearly when -- there's a lot of things. Don't have to align themselves -- happening there are are slim to none. But they ran with I've been thinking about it and and so it is Don -- W keeping would -- not that that that the you want I don't I don't know that that's it's an -- it's not announces certain one way or the other slow. You know that if if there's a potential possibility of some things on themselves and and and well on the home front that ultimately come down with -- twitch on that and in the white kitten. And I'm pretty sure that it's not something c.s. Remotely interested in you know we haven't of the corpses -- any degree.
You know this is feasible I think some people think oh it's a whimsical thing and to quixotic thing and he just. It out to Stewart because it's fun. But I spoke to a a Republican guy a little political operative and he's got -- scenario. Figured out when the Democrats eat each other alive they'll be like eight of them the primaries only a couple weeks three weeks before the general election. So there won't be that much time to attack Curt Schilling after they're done. Attacking each other a -- a -- aware how this could possibly unfold --
Yeah there's there's I mean look America I would not even remotely consider it important planning on what. They're there would be no reason to do any of this to buy -- and believe I was -- Is that instead. You know there's a lot of folks stop the constant apply -- there's a lot of personal wealth that comes in the play in. You know I'm from. I guess I don't have another huge advantage in the fact that that I've walked into the incidence rates of my closet open. -- you know soul. You know. It MM and all the things we go with that so you know I'd bet that that really doesn't.
Right he didn't go to Harvard but then again you can get kicked -- for cheating either so.
Again you know all of the things -- that there had been -- province pluses I think we're finding out as we midstream different. It won't wade deeper deeper and -- quite whereas countries and that that all of those things that we want didn't assume our our -- is needed are are really. --
Well what could -- whether Jerry election or not current I think that if you didn't run obviously the first. Question at the first press conference would be what kind of credentials do you think you have to. Detectives seats I'm just gonna ask you that if you were in them mix in running for office with a Jerry. Think it's irrelevant or not that would be an obvious question I don't think it's around I just a bad thing crisis.
Well I used to acknowledge the legitimate question. It's a question everybody would ask how would you answer while I might credentials are that I have no packets. I have not special interest I have not -- and coming in I would -- get the help this state. Get back to what it was what it should be and what -- anti. And it need it it's this state that there's so there's a lot of there needs to be an immense amount of focus inward and and and fixing the problems we've got one of the best educations system on the planet. In this state and something we should be. Property and parading around we got we got an immense amount of special interest in the states that are doing everything it any thing they can. There have no interest whatsoever in in the working the working men. And the person that works by the five for crop bowers the -- dollars. It is it in spat on and and it's becoming a a state that that the next to impossible pulled live. And and prosper and then I think it was anything but when it was was founded in. It also why I take my credentials would be. I would I would called on credentials as much as I would call them advantages.
Yeah and you're running a business in this state. In the I'm guessing you'll learn a little bit about how things work. Trying to start up and run of his Russian how many of those eight little dwarfs on the Democrat side or seven or ten or however many of those. How many of those folks who run businesses -- paid taxes in this state.
Well I mean -- them. You know I I I've put millions and millions of dollars into this company into this into the economy. And and done so by the U that 38 studios. That help and and and in -- are every program we have our employees is palpable -- and it's expensive. Incredibly expensive but it's the place you play. To do business in the state and and then not not stand out as that are about paying you to be better. But again -- I go back to the fact that you know this state is -- next Illinois probably become one of the most corrupt. Laughable. Political -- in the nation and and it it it should be just the opposite and it's it's embarrassing. And sad and pathetic in many ways and look and that's not a live like it'll probe all of this in this state I -- men and it in the good ones. They were they are the people would -- its -- there it is a lot. But you know we turn to become the butt of the -- and a lot circles and that's that's embarrassing that.
Forget about the political aspect occurred about coming back to pitch. For either Seattle and on National League team or the Red Sox the music started out.
Yeah not so much. Yeah bomb bomb feeling they would well --
The call and it hasn't heard Brad Penny a producer Brad Penny throw eight innings of five hit ball against the world -- defending world ships mouth shut about just make it look -- what do you think it I do us.
Non -- have always known nationally Google what are ultimately what are actually -- assessment. Is it that bad does it -- does not want huge disparity meter each. They're really just.
Even against the that the fillings.
It's ME listen you'll. You do not have to be if you look at -- lineup and -- and what a lot when when it got market has a lot of what you what you're saying is accurate picture what you look our wannabes saying okay. Often thought struggle I got up I got out maybe hopefully at the bottom line up. But otherwise you -- guys chicken you know that are that are you know 320 over guys right. Actually you're looking at the bottom third of a lot of beauty you'll literally have a breather inning to inning and a half every time through lineup that's 345 -- that the -- build one of do not exist it on the worst they've been remarkably. And it's totally different.
I've -- assuming that the Red Sox make the playoffs. There is a debate going on right now whether it should be Josh Becker or mr. Lester to beat the starting pitcher. In the opening game of the playoffs take us back to 2004 do you believe Francona will give the ball. Two. Beckett because perhaps he believes that he is. And may be a bigger diva. Then blessed are and as you -- through the sipping what mr. Martinez in 2004. When you're starting --
I can tell you that they even have nothing to do with your October patient. And you lighted up.
Or would be a sergeant and I bet you're telling a short does you can -- can't tell me that -- that Terry Francona didn't consider paid grows. Hide when he made not just that decision but but a number decisions and why -- the same thing apply to back.
No I mean I got I got the ball game one. Com. Because he spoke that I get the best chance to limit. And then you. And I did he would do the same thing here I think but -- wonder -- to tell their parents in October from around. If you can you can stop at a you can you can -- doubt it -- it all you want the people -- and -- changes and don't it's gonna be hard to convince you otherwise but what he did last October with the physical situation he was presented with in the end -- It is about a debate because it's set up -- six of the Walters and developer. You know here's a guy. Who's standing rate is up in knots and I would argue that if you're beat it out you plan on getting to the playoffs which I think they do little. You're gonna have a very -- expected the difference are expected to renowned -- and anyway he's struggling right now. Here's the big hold on to jobs. He's he's he's still he's given up -- all -- struggle that without with a broad but he's not walking people he's he's incredibly while --
What he'd be better off walked into the.
I don't know though I guess see what I mean he yes he would be one dispute if you want people when given up on front. He's wild in the strike zone right now and it's you preferred didn't go to report starts in a row and it generally it shouldn't but it happens. The fact matters while in the strike zone and back to correct itself it literally it and hitting Earth -- And an -- years to wait what was it -- it it's put on the make the playoffs it will end and an apt to change -- I I think it will hurt you'll -- on the talk.
Every few minutes to hang or use troopers have a problem of course is. Our ticket brick and now we'll be back soon with a couple of Mora. Testing questions for the next senator from the commonwealth everybody's listening and you know -- Americas and hold just to listen we get to the people menu buddy he wants that what's he record -- the says so will be back in your little more from. Our future senator.
