The Angels Are A Disturbing Joke
Imagine looking at a couple buildings that fell over while you’re just walking out one day and being like, “Ha, that’s funny. Those buildings just fell over. Wow, what loser buildings. Whatever losers built those things, make sure they’re not building anything I own. Definitely not Bob the Builder over here. You know what I’m saying?” And then you find out it’s the Twin Towers. Yeah, I’m not I’m not laughing anymore. I can’t even No, the the added context, it’s ruined now. That’s basically how I’m looking at the angels after the latest news that’s since come out about this absolute degenerate organization. So, thank you for being here, subscribed or not. If you haven’t joined the 49% elite humans, consider hitting that button if you like the videos. As I’m going to get y’all in on a little secret here. In fact, so secret I’m going to whisper so nobody around you hears it. You ready? I curse the angels. Yep. My sheer existence has sent this franchise into a harder falloff than Iggy Aelia’s career. Not going to tell you the exact date of my long-awaited exit from that wound, but my birthday lines up not too terribly after the last championship the Angels won and kind of perfectly to where me being born is really the only logical conclusion I can come up with at this point as to why the Angels have become such a depressing franchise since. By the way, when I told you to get ready for a whisper, that could have been the perfect opportunity for me to absolutely blast something your ancestors eard drums would have heard. So, you’re welcome for doing the brave thing to not do that. Anyway, the Angels, a team that’s missed the playoffs for 11 straight years now, made it only once in the last 16 years. They haven’t won a playoff game in 16 years. It’s been a disaster. They’re currently owners of the worst contract in maybe sports history, paying a man who hates baseball, never plays baseball, $245 million to play baseball. Now, look, it’s obviously the easiest thing in hindsight to trash the Renone deal, rightfully so. And as incompetent as the Angels owner, RD Moreno may be, this is going to be the one time I give the Angels credit in this video. But you do have to at least give Moreno credit for investing into the team. Something you can’t say for most owners. He spent money, a lot of it. That’s not the issue. The issue is who he spent money on. Signing Rendone didn’t seem like a dumb thing to do when it happened. And even though Renome did say something about finding baseball boring or whatever when on the nationals, for the most part when he was on the Nationals, he did seem cooler and like more normal, it really does feel like he’s almost morphed into a completely different person over the years with the Angels. I guess it’s kind of like he went the Kanye West route. Like he was always, I guess, at least a little bit nuts and then he just took it to another level. But despite this franchise losing for 10 plus years, which would make you assume they at least get good draft picks and prospects, no, they don’t even have that. So, the Fur office has been awful. In fact, it’s so awful they can’t even get their AC right. Check this out. So, Usay Kikuchi, the Angels pitcher, they gave a good amount of money before last year. That’s what I’m saying. They give money out. Like, they’re not they’re not cheap. But anyway, he complained that the air conditioning had been broken in the wait room all season and was never fixed despite him asking. Another player, Kevin Polar, also said something similar. Shout out Sam Blum, reporter for the team. He always gets these ridiculous things. He was the one who got rendone on his baseball as a boring job. I don’t even want to be here rant a couple years ago at spring training. Now here he is asking Perry Manazian, the general manager, if there’s anything to be addressed with the amenities because of these complaints that the AC wasn’t working and they asked and nothing was done. Well, Manazian said the air conditioning is great. Very cold. Like that AC, man, it’s cold. It’s doing what what it should be doing. In fact, coldest in the league. Blum says it didn’t break. No, he was lying about that. I’m not saying he was lying. I don’t know what he said. The air conditioning is fine. We take care of our players. There are multiple players now saying this publicly. Who else said that? Kevin Polar went out and said that the other day said the air conditioning is broken. Said they’re below on their amenities. So, Manazian is like he said the air conditioning didn’t work. And Blum says he didn’t say specifically air conditioning. He said many amenities were below standard. And I’m sure he’s implying the AC because especially Kikuchi specifically said the AC. And Manazian says, “So what’s your question?” And Blum says, “Do you feel that’s an area you need to address?” And he says, “The amenities.” And Blum’s like, “Yeah, the amenities. No, I think our amenities are fine. I think we have great people. I think the environment in the clubhouse this year was outstanding. I think you say would say the same thing. Oh, you think the amenities are fine? You say, then tell me why within hours after this, the angels posted a job opening for an HVAC technician. Reminds me of this scene in Norbit. But boy, did I have your ass. That’s nice, Norbit. Really nice. Did you write that yourself? Pathetic. That’s why I took the liberty of inviting some of Dion’s ex-wives down so maybe they could tell you for themselves. Ladies. Hello, Antoine. I’ve been looking for you. Daddy, what is this? An episode of The Office, except Manazian isn’t nearly as charming or likable as Michael Scott. Now, this is the you can laugh about, but when you see some of the freaking weird that’s gone on behind the scenes, it actually makes a whole lot of sense why this franchise hasn’t seen the playoffs in 11 years. So, if you’re not aware, there was an Angels pitcher, Tyler Skaggs, that died in July of 2019 at 27 years old because of a drug overdose. They found him dead in a Dallas hotel room where he and the team were staying while playing the Rangers. Just horrifying. And as a result of this, Skaggs’s wife, so his widow now, and his parents sued three parties. Eric Kay, who was the team’s communication director, the team itself, the Angels, and former vice president of communications, Tim Meade. Now, Kay has already been convicted. He was convicted a few years ago for providing Scaggs with a pill laced with fentanyl and sentenced to 22 years in federal prison. And Eric K is our main character today. That rhymed. Anyway, Strange doesn’t even begin to describe this dude even though he wasn’t alone and everything. It’s a really weird situation. So Kay was an absolute degenerate. Five MLB players testified that they received pills from Kay several times from 2017 through 2019. Again, he is now in prison. But because the Angels are also being sued for potentially being responsible, there’s been an ongoing thing and that led to a recent testimony in Orange County Superior Court with Mike Trout being there to testify. This is him apparently, or at least supposed to be. I’m I’m just going to assume at this point these court drawings are meant to look awful for attention. Anyway, according to Trout, he didn’t have any suspicion there was any issue with Scaggs when before he died. He said he never seemed addicted to anything. Scaggs’ widow said the same thing. Kay’s situation little different though. Kay was so desperate for money like when everything was going on over those years. Obviously for drugs as we now know, but he was so desperate. He was doing diabolical things for it. And the angels for a while didn’t seem to have much of an issue helping him out with those unholy things. Now they didn’t know, at least not at first. They just looked at the things Kay was doing for money as good old classic clubhouse bonding. you know, fraternity hazing type So stupid. But yeah, Kay was once paid $1,000 to take a 90 mph fastball to the leg. And if that was the worst thing that happened, I would I would actually think this is a great situation. Yeah, hold on tight if you haven’t heard this Kay was also once paid a couple hundred to shave his eyebrows and jump into cold water with his clothes on. There was another one where he put on an Eagles helmet. Mike Trout is an Eagles fan, so I’m sure that had something to do with it. and had Cole Calhoun, a former player, drill him with a pass to the head. Again, this gets worse than you think. Whatever you’re thinking at this point, if you don’t already know, whatever you’re thinking, it gets like a lot worse. They paid him once to eat a bug off the clubhouse floor. Man, what great clubhouse bonding. This is the new Moneyball. Clubhouse bonding. This is what really, you know, brings people together. I’m be shocked if every other team hasn’t already implemented this stuff. How about this one? Trout himself, he was asked about this in the testimony. He confirmed that he did this. He once paid Kay to pop a pimple off his back and eat it. What? There’s also speculation that Kay would get prostitutes for players in spring training. Skaggs’ family’s lawyer is putting that out there, and I guess that’s not confirmed, but considering we’re talking about a dude who ate bugs and pimples off people’s backs, I don’t doubt for a nancond he hired prostitutes. That actually sounds like the most normal thing this degenerate would do. Trout said he wasn’t aware of that, but did say he may have heard of Kay getting Viagra for a player who wanted it, which doesn’t seem to make sense just because like, isn’t Viagra a legal or pretty easy drug to get? Why is anyone asking this weirdo for that? Trout also acknowledged that some clubhouse attendants may have bought marijuana for players, which okay, that makes more sense. I have to point out how weird this testimony was on the judge’s part, too. Like for half the hearing, he was basically just fangirling out, asking Trout baseball questions that had nothing to do with Scaggs’ death. Like he literally just started talking to Trout about his career. I’m not kidding. It started with him congratulating Trout for his 400th home run. It’s like, okay, that was a little weird. Then he asked him if the 485 ft home run is the longest he’s hit, which I think was his 400th. Trout’s like, “Yeah, pretty much, I guess.” Then the judge goes, “Well, at least we can agree on something.” 485 feet is a bomb. Like, but you would legitimately think this has to be fake with how ridiculous it got. He asked Trout about his college playing days. I guess I guess what he was trying to do was set the scene with how deeply rooted Trout’s connection with Skags goes because the two were drafted in the same year and lived together right away early on in the minor league. So, it kind of ties into that. But, like most of what was said and asked had nothing to do with anything. And the first home game after Skags died, the Angels threw a combined no hitter, which was pretty wild. And the judge started talking about that a little bit. He says, “Now, I don’t want to get too metaphysical, but did you feel Tyler’s energy and his spirit that night? How did you feel when you were running around the bases? What are we doing? Like, what does this have to do with getting to the bottom of if the angel should be held responsible or not for this guy overdosing?” It’s like in Norbit. Yes, another Norbit mention. You can’t ever waste a chance to tie in that cinematic masterpiece. The judge asking all these irrelevant questions like what’s his explanation for that? It’s like when Norbert catches Raspuchia cheating on him with her dance instructor and he’s like I was just here giving her a little tap lesson. But you’re naked. Oh, that’s just so she can see the various muscle groups as I go through the various routines. You see that there? You can’t see that with a turtleneck. Again, none of the players on drugs, including Trout, suspected Kay was on anything or providing anything to anyone until someone else, another Angel’s Clubhouse attendant, warned him that like, hey, the money Kay is getting with all these disgusting things, he’s probably not using that money for a good purpose. It’ be really ironic if this was one of the Angels attendants who was giving out marijuana to players. But anyway, after being suggested this, Trout was like, “Okay, yeah, he’s probably on drugs.” And that’s when he became doses from Dexter. Trout testified that Kay at times was sweating and seemed quote unquote wired. And it even prompted Trout to address it with him being like, “Hey, you got two boys at home, two kids at home. You got to figure this out.” He of course never did, and it only got tremendously worse. Man, I really wonder why Shoh Otani left. Crazy. Everyone should blame the Dodgers some more for ruining baseball. Yeah, the team that 80 years ago signed Jackie Robinson and helped change not just baseball, but the country, the world. The team that’s kept a guy on contract for the last seven years in counting despite not having played at all during that time just so they can support him while his life’s gone downhill. The team that gave the greatest athlete in the world a spotlight and winning team to play on which in turn has grown the sport more than ever. Yeah, sorry. I’m going to take the side of that team and be happy Show chose them over this Hellfest over the fake Los Angeles team that hires people who allegedly bring prostitutes for its players and distribute fentanyl laced drugs that lead to a 27year-old dying during the season on their watch. And don’t forget denying your own players claims that your AC is broken just to then immediately have a job opening per technician. You cannot make any of this up. This franchise is a complete joke. A much more disturbing joke than most of us realize than I could have ever realized. And contrary to what a lot of people may be thinking, I’m happy the real LA team is in the World Series. The Angels, ironically went 6-0 against the Dodgers this year, they can have that. As we just saw how the Brewers going 6-0 against the Dodgers during the regular season ended up, yeah, that means nothing, but it’s also the biggest thing they have to be proud of for the last 16 years. So, and their new manager, Kurt Suzuki, who they just hired it only for a one-year deal. By the way, good luck. Best of luck. That’s that’s all I pretty much have to say for now. All right. Love you. Bye.
The Angels are unhinged

Woah woah woah not so loud next time 0:47
That secret whisper was heard by 46k people
God this team is sad. At least they’re free for Halloween every year!
Twin Towers analogy …. Not gonna lie, that was just a horrible analogy.
How did these guys sweep the Dodgers?
Fuck the dodgers.
Angels can’t even be canceled anymore because they were canceled 10 years ago
Trout doesnt want to win either so its his fault. Or he's just to loyal to this dysfunctional org
someone buy this team
They will never win a WS in my lifetime. Awesome.
This quickly turned into a Dodger glazefest.
I suddenly have zero sympathy for Mike Trout.
The Angels being Devils is so ironic. I’ll stick to just watching the Ducks now.
degenerate organization is understatement
9:58 Not the Cedar Rapids Colonels. The Cedar Rapids Kernels, like corn because Iowa is the tall corn state, duh. Even that article can’t get everything right…
Mike trout to the dodgers
no wonder trout never be normal …..
now angels hiring ippei for shohei made sense …..
Thankfully, for Mike Trout, baseball is a game of statistics. Numbers are everything when considering the greats. And regardless of whom he plays for, Mike has the numbers.
Anthony rendon what do you mean baseball never been #1 priority for you? Baseball the reason you have that stupid contract you never deserved I hope he never plays again haha
Feel bad for a multi millionaire that have a loving family and has all the support in the world. Gotta make a video to feeel soooooo badddd
My only issue with the Dodgers is deferred money, which I consider a form of cooking the books, otherwise don’t care about their payroll(it is higher than actually represented, see deferred payments).
Never had an issue with Shohei leaving the Angels, they’re a bad joke.
No pity left for pimple farmer Mike Trout.
Gross.
Everything else is only mildly surprising at best.
I think Trout would rather stick with the Angels than grind it out somewhere else. He’s got his golf course thing, so he’s basically waiting for retirement. The fanatic fans will worship their loyal king and trash Ohtani.
And I thought the Wilson era Mets were dysfunctional
At some point athletes gotta decide
A. Do I wanna get a ton of money for a decade+ with a terrible franchise
B. Go ANYWHERE else
Procuring sex workers for players are just part of the amenities.
maybe Trout is the problem
HELL NO 2:04 SPENDING ON A FREE AGENT IS NOT INVESTING INTO THE TEAM. We don’t have air conditioning for our players, minor leaguers get treated like garbage, and everyone in the organization is treated like crap. It is such a horrible organization to work for top to bottom and it’s 100 percent on Moreno to create culture.
Wow, I was just wanting to get informative information about what's going on with this team being the scenes. Was not expecting the hatefest.
Dang, I have stopped cheering for my hometown team for less. Once they got their act together I was back on board, but I dont cheer for incompetence. I have no problem cheering for a losing team, as long as the rest is right. Anyone cheering for the Angels is kinda a gross person.
Ohtani was in that hell-hole of a clubhouse for 5 years. How is he still alive?
Man i can't believe you made video about the angels, like what need is there to do so like I don't already know my team is pathetic, now you gotta kick us while we're down do you feel better? You keep this up I'm gonna be one of the proud 49 percent to not subscribe to your channel!
no one's talking about the intro????
trout is not a bad guy
the angels won the series when i was just born, they will win again on my deathbed.
Hey don't laugh about 911 I walked through blood and bones to find my brother
Watching this in my Jered Weaver shirt 🔥🔥🔥
It's the dumbass owner.
The Anaheim Lucifers of Los Angeles, California, Planet Earth 😤😤😤
I swear this guy finds a chance every video to glaze either Ohtani and/or the Dodgers
Yeah, that was some CRAZY stuff right there…
Man we've got soft. God forbid you ever watch a former primetime tv show named jackass.. they even had a movie at the cinema!
As an angel's Fan I hate this organization
That’s LA for you!!
Kinda like lucky Larry Silverstein
