I have to admit. I'm so intrigued by how news travels. It's fascinating to me. Yesterday, before the show, before we did our show, I was telling Tiki Barber about the golden app bat. He's like, what the hell's the golden app bat? And I was like, eh, it's this weird rule idea. And you've probably now heard about the golden app bad. I heard the midday show talking about it. The morning show was talking about. It's like this big thing that Rob Manfred said, hey, MLB's thinking about the golden app bat. I want to take you behind the curtain on this. Rob Manfred did an interview on a podcast in October with John Urand, I think is his name, or Orrand, I think is how you pronounce it, but he's a media guy. And he did interview with Rob Banffrey.

Okay?

Did interview with him.

October.

This was literally during the LCS.

Right.

And they were talking about the media rights situation.

And then they talked about rule changes.

And I listened to the podcast.

I listened to it the other day.

And it was really good. The reason I listened to it the other day is I'd no idea it existed. I had no idea that Rob did this interview back in October.

And for some reason, something Rob Manfred said in October has taken off as, oh, can you

believe MLB's thinking about this change called the Golden App Bat?

Meanwhile, it's not a new story.

It's something Rob said on a podcast two months ago.

I need to see how he said it.

You want to hear how he said it?

How he said it will make a big difference.

Well, luckily, while I was listening to said podcast,

we were able to cut the audio of what Rob Manfred said.

But I want to give you context on this because there's a lot of background here that I think

is very, very important. That's more than just the golden ad.
