| 0:00.0 | There might be some listeners out there who think perhaps this podcast has too much baseball content and should focus more on Apple. |
| 0:07.4 | Now I have bad news for those people. |
| 0:10.5 | Sorry, non-sports fans. |
| 0:13.0 | It's going to be sports. |
| 0:14.8 | But I do think there are numerous talking about the strategy and why Apple is even getting into what you know, we're |
| 0:21.9 | alluding to here for anybody who's been under a rock is Friday night baseball, which, |
| 0:26.7 | yeah, guess is a new thing, right? It's not like Apple is taking over Friday night baseball from |
| 0:34.4 | Amazon from some other property, right? |
| 0:36.3 | Right. Or like a traditional cable network like TBS has had Friday night baseball for the last 10 years or something like that. |

| 1:24.1 | Yes, I absolutely did. That is one of the. |
| 1:26.4 | Which is so for I don't and that's strange to me because plenty of stuff is out of L.A. |
| 1:31.0 | You know TV wise movie wise, obviously, but I think TV wise too, but everything in my lifetime has always been, you know, seven o'clock Eastern six o'clock central |
| 1:39.9 | and and you never see a Pacific time zone mentioned. So I think Apple is really they're throwing their way to round there getting the Pacific time zone in there. |
