My guest is Rany Jazayerli, a physician, baseball analyst, and longtime voice in sabermetrics. He is the former author of the influential blog Rany on the Royals and now co-hosts the Kauffman Corner podcast, where he discusses baseball, fandom, and the evolving sports landscape.

Listen in as we revisit questions first written in 2022 and reflect on how baseball, media, and politics have changed since then. We discuss the impact of the pitch clock, the Royals’ resurgence, and the difference between sustained Cardinals excellence and the unforgettable peak of the 2014–15 Royals. We also talk about stepping away from writing, the transition to podcasting, social media’s changing role in public discourse, and how parenting, faith, and identity shape perspective both inside and outside of sports.

You can follow Rany Jazayerli on social media @jazayerli and listen to Kauffman Corner wherever you get your podcasts.

This is first ever Rogue Dad, M.D. podcast. This is a special interview, bringing on the guest that led to me penning a tweet that went viral across the internet, bringing him and me a brief 15-minutes of fame.

In the spring of 2018 my oldest son performed an experiment on his mom and me to learn whether the tooth fairy is real. He successfully tricked us and proved that she does not exist. My subsequent tweet on the topic ended up being viewed by tens of millions and brought us a great deal of attention.

In this interview we delve into the thinking that led to his experiment, uncover some new details I had not previously known, and discuss the implications of his findings in relation to other potential mythical creatures as well as his younger siblings.
