A-Rod's Former Scientist Girlfriend's Mom Says "He Couldn't Hold An Intellectual Conversation And Just Watched Baseball All Day"
According to the mother of Alex Rodriguez’s former Silicon Valley paramour, Anne Wojcicki, A-Rod doesn’t have A-lot upstairs.
“I liked A-Rod, he was a very nice man,” Esther Wojcicki told Maureen Dowd of the New York Times. “He came from a Hispanic family. We liked them, they were very sweet. He seemed to be genuinely in love with Anne. But I right away figured out this was a mismatch. He had no academic background. We couldn’t have an intellectual conversation about anything.”
But while the New York Times story says that geography and “parenting obligations” eventually caused A-Rod and Wojcicki to split, Esther Wojcicki said in the Times story that Rodriguez didn’t exactly make the All-Star romance team when he was with her daughter, and instead spent a lot of time watching baseball.
“His main interest in life was something that none of us had ever focused on, which was baseball. He could park himself in front of a TV and watch baseball for 10 hours a day,” Esther Wojcicki said. “He wasn’t even sure he wanted to go on the yacht with Anne because the TV might not be working. I wish J-Lo all the luck in the world.”
The Times story said Anne Wojcicki accommodated her then boyfriend’s baseball addiction by installing TV sets in her Bay Area home so “A-Rod could watch baseball.”
Let me tell ya this much. Anne Wojcicki’s mom sounds like a real life of the party. You care about having intellectual conversations with human beings? What an asshole. What kind of intellectual conversation are you dying to have with Alex Rodriguez?
“Hey Alex, according to your principles, how would you deal with the obesity epidemic hitting the U.S.?”
“Get lost lady, the Yanks are playing in Texas right now. Why don’t you tell me what Aaron Judge’s WAR is as of yesterday.”
Who has intellectual conversations these days? Everything is about sports or pop culture with the very rare political chat being brought up because of the crazy president we have. That’s it. I’m not trying to solve decentralization over dinner lady. When you’re hanging with your girlfriend’s parents you talk about the game last night, who’s gonna win the Super Bowl, and something funny you saw online to make the mom laugh. That’s it. Stick to your strengths. There was one time I was dating a Persian girl and I’d have convos with her dad, who didn’t watch sports and spoke with a thick accent. I wouldn’t wish that situation on anyone, but I’m a better man for getting through that.
Of all the people A-Rod dated, Kate Hudson, Madonna, Cameron Diaz, and now J-Lo, Anne Wojcicki was by far the strangest. She was just some super smart scientist CEO who put Alex in his place. He didn’t need her, or her intellectual mother. To be honest I thought the whole time he was just trying to find steroids that Major League Baseball couldn’t catch. Once he realized she couldn’t help him he called it quits. I did love this line from the article…
He wasn’t even sure he wanted to go on the yacht with Anne because the TV might not be working.
That’s such a laugh out loud hilarious line. They’d probably be out to five course dinner and A-Rod has the MLB TV app going in his lap, going to the bathroom to watch a big moment in the game. He’s just like us at the end of the day, except he has a lot more money. Like A LOT MORE.
