In Part 2 of Boonie’s explosive conversation with Ray “Dr. Death” Perez, the gloves come off. This episode dives straight into the heart of the A’s exodus — how Senate Bill 293 Skinner, a tailor-made redevelopment tool for Howard Terminal, became the golden ticket Oakland never bothered to cash. Boonie lays out how city leadership fumbled coordination with Alameda County for nearly two years, hiring consultants who miscalculated the stadium subsidy by $2.1 billion and leaving the door wide open for Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Perez calls it like he sees it — a clash between government incompetence and ownership opportunism — while Boonie reminds fans that both sides failed the franchise.
But this isn’t just about politics and paperwork; it’s about people. From the loyal fans left behind to the communities that wrapped their identity around the green and gold, this is the story of what happens when passion meets policy paralysis. Perez and Boonie go deep on what “loyalty” really means in modern sports, how relocation fractures faith, and why fans shouldn’t have to choose between loving their team and hating its leadership. This one isn’t for the faint of heart — it’s for the die-hards who demand the truth, receipts and all.
