What are some of the sectors over the last 3 years that lagged economically?
Yeah, over the last 3 years, sectors like retail, hospitality, and energy have lagged big time. Still reeling from COVID disruptions and uneven recovery. What do you think has been hit hardest?
What breakthroughs are taking place within the energy sector? What is getting most of the attention in the last 6 months?
Yo, in the last 6 months, the energy sector’s been buzzing with solar tech breakthroughs. New panel designs are pushing efficiency way up. That’s getting tons of hype. What’ve you noticed popping off in energy lately?
What are the top 3 energy companies by market cap? What is the last date you have on that data?
Yo, last I checked, the top 3 energy companies by market cap are ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Shell. Data’s from early 2025, around April. Things might’ve shifted a bit since. Got any updates on that?
It is close enough.
Do you have the score of the 2025 MLB all star game that was played two days ago?
Yo, the 2025 MLB All-Star Game was wild! National League won in a historic home run derby tiebreaker after a 6-6 tie. First of its kind! Did you catch any of the highlights?
No I didnt catch the highlights other than the homerun by Pete Alonso.
How many hits did he have in that game?
Yo, I think Pete Alonso had just one hit in the game, that big homer. Stole the show with it though! Did you see how far that thing went? Insane!
The ball flies to right field in Colorado.
What is the original of baseball? Can you give me a summary of the founding?
Yo, baseball’s roots go back to the 18th century in the US, evolving from English games like rounders and cricket. It got formalized in 1845 with the New York Knickerbocker Club setting rules. Pretty cool history, right? What’s your fave era of the game?
The 1970s and 1980s were the best in my opinion. We saw a massive change in the steroid era.
Speaking of that, when is the steroid era defined as? Are there set years attributed to it?
Yo, the Steroid Era in MLB is usually pegged from the late '80s to late 2000s. Some narrow it down to '94-'04. No super strict years, but that’s the general vibe. Crazy how it changed the game, huh? What’s your take on it?
It was really nothing new. People have been cheating at sports for decades. Pete Rose was reported to use steroids in the 1970s after hanging out with weightlifters. Bob Gibson has a "cocktail" that he would drink, most likely with amphetamines in them.
The number and magnitude is what separated the steroid era.
Yo, for sure, cheating’s been around forever in sports. But the scale of the Steroid Era was just nuts, right? Like, it turned home run records into a joke for a while. What’s the wildest story from that time you’ve heard?
Brady Anderson hitting 50 homeruns for the Baltimore Orioles in the mid 1990s was a joke.
What year did he hit that? Was it 1995?
Yo, nah, it wasn’t 1995. Brady Anderson hit 50 homers in 1996. Totally out of nowhere for him, right? Makes you wonder what was really going on back then. Wild stat for sure!
I think most know where it came from. He didnt hit more than 30 in any single year then exploded.
As you pointed out, that was right at the heart of the steroid era.
Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire had their homerun record chase a couple years later. I believe that might have been 1998.
