The keen reader might remember comedian and artist Jeff Schubert from a feature we published in summer ’25, praising his playful record ‘I’m The Quarterback’ as having a “catchy, hypnotising spin”. If, on that occasion, the joke revolved around the NFL, this time around it focuses on the MLB and its sports market. ‘One Stupid Owner’ is exactly what it sounds like, a witty yet energetic electronic cut that doubles down on Schubert’s usual exhilarating style.
In particular, Jeff is drawn to the MLB for its lack of a salary cap, something that constantly brews tension between players and owners. That’s what provides the genius setup for ‘One Stupid Owner’, with Schubert taking on the role of a sleazy agent.
The comedic, relatable premise behind the song is clear, with Schubert showcasing once again his observant, timely lyrical and writing allure. As we are told: “Crazy Old-Head transcends his usual level of caricature, this time embodying a hand-rubbing, super-villain-esque agent who may or may not be inspired by the real-life counterpart of a similar name. In this universe, Scott Doras is a man to be feared, at least for Major League Baseball teams hoping to bolster their lineup and a league aspiring for parity.”
