"A researcher at ESPN, a content producer on the show get up. He is Mike Greenberg's sidekick and him. I kind of can't wait until the episode that we have later this week, because Mike Greenberg is going to join us. And man, we're going to blast you. I just feel like it's going to be like a Hamburg rip session. Yeah, one of those Comedy Central roasts, except I'm not even sure. In this case, I'll be here to defend myself, but either way, I'm sure the listeners are looking forward to it. Roasting him, ripping cambo is always good for content. Take it from me. Yeah, you'll be the Justin Bieber, you know, for he's going to stand up at a podium, but the cool thing is is that you won't be able to respond to any of it. How cool is that? That'll be fair. You took some weeks off to be with your little ones, how did that go? Two weeks of child bonding buster. I would say parenting has proven to be quite a bit more difficult than I may have anticipated. Now, obviously, we're going two at a time in our House. So perhaps that was to be expected. But I think I underestimated the extent to which everything in my life would be completely detonated. So I will say this. The girls are doing great. It was lovely to spend two weeks with them, but I would also say this. It is especially delightful to be talking baseball with you today. A slight aversion, a quick aversion from the sort of doldrums and by the time you get to 5 and 6 o'clock at night, everyone in our House is screaming, and that includes me and my wife. Yeah, way too. Running around and moving around, it's going to complicate your life times ten. But that is definitely a fun time as a dad. All right, we've been talking all spring about the rule changes that you have, the pitch clock. Tell me about some numbers that are showing that these rule changes are working. I want to hit three things, but I want to hit time a time of game. I want to hit the shift, and I want to hit the stolen bases. So over the previous four years, the average spring training game lasted two hours and 54 minutes. Right now, that number is two hours and 36 minutes. In other words, we have shaved 18 minutes of absolutely nothing. So that's step one, and that seems to be working quite well. Secondly, the shift. So here's what I did. I looked at ground balls and line drives from lefties to their poolside. That's obviously the subset that is most impacted by the shift restriction. In the previous four years, the batting average on balls in play on those types of bad balls was two 95. Right now that number is three O 9, a 14 percentage point increase. Over a 162 games for 30 teams, clusters. We're talking about hundreds more hits. If that carries over to the regular season and there's no obvious reason to believe that it will not. My favorite one is stolen bases. So over the previous four years, the success rate in spring training was 73% on 1.7 attempts per game. Right now, those two numbers are 83% on 2.3 attempts per game. So the success rate is up 10% and the frequency is up 30 5%. The difference is massive. The commonly accepted break-even point we might call it for running for attempting to steal is 75%. So if you're a speedster, or you're managing a team against an especially slow pitcher to the plate, we will see some games that season that are totally unrecognizable to younger baseball fans of that unfairly certain. Yeah, what you're talking about with the stolen base percentage Carlos Correa was talking about that, right? When I talked to him earlier in spring training about you've got to hit a certain threshold, those numbers also, by the way, are in keeping with what I think it was Joe Martinez a Major League Baseball indicated that, look, we don't think that we're going to go back to an era in which this is him talking. We don't think we're going to go back to an era in which Vince Coleman stealing a 120 bases. But we do think that we'll go back to the numbers of, say, the early 2000s, and those numbers reflect that, how much, because of course, you throw out a number like that from a couple of weeks of spring training games, you're going to have people saying small sample size, small sample size. What would you, how would you respond to that? It's the only sample size that we have for starters. And when we're talking about the entire league over the amount of time that they've played so far, it actually is a consequential amount of data. If I were to be asked in terms of the regular season impact on this, I think the best way to answer it is, it's going to most manifest on the extremes. I don't think you're going to see an incredible increase the way that you just described. Of course, I think that is exceedingly unlikely. However, especially because players haven't been trained in these ways. And so that might change now. But I think when you see pictures that are especially slow, one four or one 5 to the plate. And when you see guys whose average sprint speed is say 30 feet per second, which is the very top of the food chain on statcast, you're going to see players like that really be affected by such things. So if you just look at the stolen base leaderboard throughout the season, it might not look that different. But you're going to see individual players and a few teams probably really benefit from it disproportionately that had the insight to predict that this was coming. Yeah, and also you're going to see teams begin to get tendencies on pictures. Like that guy never throws the first or 80% of the times he throws once and he never throws a second time. Those will start to mix into scanning reports as teams begin to see more games. I want to ask you about a number that I tweeted out the other day because about spending by the San Diego Padres relative to the rest of the league. And to put that number into context about the Padres, you know, I noted that after the 2024 season for the mets after Verlander come off the books, the mets who have been spending like crazy are going to owe a total of about $485 million. The Padres commitments after 2024, 1.01 billion, which is why you still have people with other teams going. Not sustainable. There's going to be a major problem long-term for this team. You can't be paying guys 20, $30 million a year into their late 30s, say, early 40s. What say you? I say that you are 100 percent right. And I want to make clear because Padres fans have gotten. And I want to make clear. That's not my opinion. That's what I'm getting back from front office people who are looking at the numbers. They are saying, oh my God, this is a disaster for the Padres. Yeah, those are people that know. Here's what I think. What the players have done and are doing is great for baseball because they have turned the number 30 media market and they're spending like George Steinbrenner owns the team. It makes them eminently interesting in front to follow right now. But if we're going to consider some of the long-term consequences, which of course is one of the primary responsibilities of those in charge of the team, we have to consider the fact that over that time period that you just stated, 800 some $1 million, $800 million of that group is going just a three players. The bogarts Machado and tatis and two of those players are already on the wrong side of 30.

"Investors out there investing in all kinds of things that former WeWork guy put up, aren't those people smart enough to look at something like a Instagram or well, they were at early on in snap. I don't remember what snap's race is awful right now. But as soon as snap started tanking, I'm sure it became harder. Where's the nearest door and what I'm saying? Why not throw money at it to help bring them back up and dethrone the likes of TikTok? Is this just a lost hope? If their strategy is just to copy other innovation elsewhere, which is what Facebook has been doing or what snap has been doing, that I would say they're not a good investment. To answer your question, when snap was beginning and big, by the way, it was 7 years ago, taking over the talk of the world, right? It was taken out. There are series D round of funding $485 million. Their series E 200, but up to 500 million, their series F 1.8 billion. So snap got started with billions and billions on dollars. Exactly the same. So it's a little funny of them to say, well, it's so fair, snap when they were hot, was raising money like crazy. The problem is that they're faltering because of competition. He's saying, I don't, it's not wrong. He says, TikTok got this really great lead early on. By aggressively expanding spending a huge amount of money to do that, like somebody else you did. So that people can train the algorithm and ultimately end up with a much more personalized feed that's harder to get a new service. That is true. There's a barrier to entry, just as there is with Google just as there was with any Microsoft any massively successful company. So TikTok has this algorithm that's going to be hard to compete with, unless you have the network effect, snap says, well, we'll compete with TikTok by focusing on connections with family and friends rather than strangers. But I think we've talked about this. There was a flip in what social media did. At first it was family. Now it's creators. And I think that Evan's wrong when he thinks that somehow they're going to come back by doing family and friends. I think that's why they failed, frankly, is they didn't have creators. They tried and they couldn't get creators to put stuff on snap. Well, and I also think we'll go overboard on creators too. Maybe then they'll be the next thing. As usual, what do you mean by that? I just mean that now everything is creators. Every dollar goes into creators. Everything's creators. Everything is content. And we're losing the connections, I think, that people did value between them. So I think what we always do is we always go overboard. Immediately we do that in the technology we go do that. And it's everybody pivots the same direction, and it marches together. Only discover that there's too many people there. In the clear days of French, mister Jarvis, they have reached. Is it not logical to go towards someone that has a bigger reach to help push your product? I'm not sure I understand what you're saying there. They creators have all the creators. They have more of a reach than Dan gum CBS in some instances. You're right. We've always said that this is why we are big on host red ads here at the twit network. I completely agree with you. I think when you see in an older Ed McMahon feeding output to a dog on the Johnny Carson show or Paul Harvey flogging Bose wave radios, that's very, very effective. That's not a new phenomenon. That's been Arthur Godfrey. It's always been that way. Milton Berle was sponsored. Who sponsored the Milton brill show. Buick? Remember that? It was like, grandpa, I don't know. Come on, gift. You remember? You remember the mountain girl show? Overrated. That's what I remember. But the point being they creators have always driven ad sales. But I don't think that necessarily means that social media will always be driven by creators. I think that's Jeff's point. Yeah, advertisers may like it. But I don't know. I don't know. What would replace creators, Jeff? I mean, well, I think collaboration is one. I think that's where collabs. I think we like stories. I think that's what Facebook found out. That's what everybody found out is, yeah, it's nice to see what aunt mod's up to. But really, tell me a story. Well, there are the key is if you get authentic stories. I think Mexico then Buick. Thank you swamp Rhett. Texaco star theater. Now don't ask him who Milton burl was. Please don't ask him anybody. Well, he's not lost it. Good. I did it. I

"Hour, Airbnb hosts attempt to navigate tricky legal maze amid state abortion bans. By hosting women seeking together abortions may not be all that easy. Plus, as the biggest names in tech and media gather at some value, we'll hear from and 23andMe about the company's new study on long COVID and the current state of BioTech stocks. And DoorDash and Uber sync after Amazon agrees to take a stake in Grubhub's business. Details of the deal and why prime members might start to favorite grub as a delivery service. We'll get to all of that in a moment but first U.S. stocks rose for the third straight days investors kind of inhale the economic data that hinted at slightly slower growth Bloomberg's kitty gray file joins us now actually the jolts data look pretty strong. The jobs data looking strong in the fed minutes sounded pretty hawkish. Why then the rally? It's a great question. Don't have a great answer either, but there was a lot of intraday volatility again today. Somehow the NASDAQ 100 managed to string together a third straight day of gains. As you can see, sort of took off at two 30 p.m. about half an hour after those somewhat hawkish ten minutes came out. NASDAQ 100 finishing 6 tenths of percent higher. And it was really tech leading the way the broader markets, if you take a look, the S&P 500, it closed a bit higher about four tenths of a percent, but the infotech sector closed 9 tenths of a percent higher. What was interesting to me was that that came even as you saw just an enormous jump in that two year treasury yield up 18 basis points on the day. Usually that's bad news for tech, not today, they'll consumer discretionary stocks took a hit as Tesla Starbucks and the like fell. What's interesting Caroline, if we take a look at Bitcoin, still sticking around that $20,000 level, our producer Dan Curtis crunched the number, Bitcoin, tends to move in $10,000 increments right now again, stuck around $20,000 a coin, where the next 10,000 goes remains to be seen. Many hoping it might be up was rather than back to the 10,000 lows Katie, we thank you so much for a great roundup. Meanwhile, let's talk about the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, of course, to end federal protection for abortions happen last month already. Many people wanted to try and find a way to help some hosts on Airbnb offered to open their homes to guests who needed to travel to states that will still allow the procedure. However, some of those hosts, well, I'm realizing it isn't as easy a solution as it might seem. Bloomberg's Michael Tobin wrote all about this. Joins us now. Talk to us about how hosts were looking to potentially step in and allow travel to states that allowed abortions. Right after the Supreme Court decision came out, hosts immediately were changing some of their listings to say, if you're a woman and you need to travel across state lines to get an abortion, you're welcome to stay at my place for free. And this is host really stepping up at a time where abortion access is being limited and almost half of U.S. states. And quickly host learned that it was not as easy to do this as they thought there are very restrictive laws in states like Oklahoma and Texas that will actually put out bounties on people who aid and abet abortions. And this was an issue that came up last year. And companies like Uber were saying that we're going to defend our drivers if they are implicated. In these lawsuits. And quickly, what we've seen happen is some of these hosts take down these listings and then partner with local nonprofits who are able to provide housing. So perhaps be a little less obvious, a little less implicating to anyone who's looking to use that home. I'm also interested in whether Airbnb said how Uber came to try and help and offer to pay the legal fees if its drivers were of Airbnb done for their hosts. Right. So Airbnb has said that if any of its hosts are implicated in these, I was able to defend them. And they said that last September. And they also said, if any other states pass laws that are similar to the one in Texas, they'll step up and do the same. The company has also made an unspecified donation to Planned Parenthood last year, but they haven't said anything else aside from what's happened after the Supreme Court ruling. And this is a company that's really stepped up to provide housing to Ukrainian Afghanistan refugees. When those crises were happening, but we haven't heard about any of their plans or partnerships, domestically. I mean, it has to be said, in many ways, the Ukrainian refugee crisis was in no way politically divisive. We still know that one third of the U.S. population, at least on a pew survey, agreed that abortions should be illegal. So we have to realize that this is a very politically charged conversation and indeed, not everyone agrees. I'm interested in therefore whether we expect the companies to stand to make comments about how they support their employees as well, because this is something we've seen many businesses say. That's correct. And Airbnb has said that they will pay for employees who need to go across state lines to get an abortion. But we haven't seen that extended to hosts yet or to guess. So at that point, it's still meant to be seen what the company plans to do. What about therefore solutions that some of the actual hosts have been coming up with? You say that they've been working with not for profits. Is that largely in the way in which that if you're looking to be able to offer your home for free to those who want to travel? Is that the way to partner with not for profits charities? That's what I've seen so far. One host that I spoke to who is in Virginia said that they're going to be partnering with a local nonprofit and they actually have two women who are coming to stay at their homes. So this is somebody who's been able to partner with a local nonprofit and make it successful. They've taken down the language from their listing on Airbnb, but they're still making it available through their nonprofit. Another host that I spoke to in New Mexico said that they had to take down the listing because of a threat that they got against their family. So it really does show how serious this can be. And they really hope that the organizations, they hope that Airbnb will partner with organizations to make this safe for all parties involved. And lastly, what about sort of the next step of investigative reporting for yourself? When you're looking at the ways in which this conversation continues to happen, are there other companies that you're discussing this way? Is there other ways in which you think Airbnb and the likes will have to eventually become more clear in some of their advice? I think what we're going to see is these companies are just going to be continued to be put under public pressure in the public spotlight to what they're going to do to support employees and hosts. And this kind of is similar to the conversation about who's an employee and who's a contractor. Yes. And that's very clear with what you see with Uber and Uber is stepped up to say, and Airbnb two to their credit. If you're implicated in any of these lawsuits, we'll defend you. So we'll see if that actually happens. Michael Tobin is a great story. Thank you so much for coming on to talk about it. Meanwhile, another story that we continue to watch the crypto crash has claimed another victim. This time broke a Voyager digital has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

"Responsibility at the time governor Cuomo needs to really step up and take more ownership at the MTA. And that happened to a large degree and yet that that hasn't happened with cuny. Do you agree with that assessment and now that we have governor hoel in office, what are you hoping for in terms of state leadership taking more quote unquote ownership of yeah it's so important not to get you to comment at all on the MTA, although you can't if you want to. I love the MTA analogy because I'm a subway rider all the time. I love MTA. But I think it's a good analogy because look, much in the same way that the MTA can at times become like a political football between the mayor and the governor and if they're feuding, it doesn't bode well for the MTA and other agencies like that. In a similar way, you know, all too often cuny has become a political football in some kind of a competition between our former governor and the mayor. And I think what we're hopeful about here at the PSC right now is that that kind of long running feud between the governor and the mayor know in which really cuny students were the greatest sort of casualty. That will see a change, of course, on that. And then we'll see better collaboration, better communication. And overall, in the end, better support for cuny. I mean, let's remember that it was only not that long ago, just a few years back, the governor during during the budget cycle threatened to cut almost half a $1 billion, $485 million from cuny's budget in a kind of attempt to try to get the de Blasio administration to on the wrong foot and to pick up the bill on that. And that's just that's just so cruel to an institution into the students who ultimately would be hurt if that cut were to go through..

People know we aren't getting along and they're railing on us for it. Ballsy grimaces. You don't need to tell me. Our stock is in the gutter profits of plunge 70% from last year. We've had to write down $485 million of unsold playbooks. Lazarites looks down at the ground. Yes. And I have some more bad news. The BlackBerry ten is going to be delayed until late 2012. Falsely can't believe what he's hearing. Are you kidding me? I'm the frontman. I'm the person who has to go out into the public and say the BlackBerry ten is getting delayed several months. I'm going to get eaten alive. Lazarite is starch defending himself. Look, I'm trying my best here. It's just Mike. You've let us all down with this delay. Lazarite is shakes his head. Look, it's not all on me. We both become lightning rods. They both pause for a minute to let that soak in. Lazarites makes the first move. Look, Jim, I think the best course of action is to promote the head of the hardware division. Baldly looks up and stares at lazarites. He knows what's coming. We have to step aside. The board wants us out, the shareholders want us out, hell, everyone wants us out. Bald slee throws up his hands. You know what? Fine. I've had enough. A few weeks later, in January 2012, waltzing and lazarites resign as co CEOs. Is the end of a long journey for the pair who shared a creative partnership for two decades. One that was launched by the 9 11 tragedy, and then foundered on technical misfires and the rise of a technologically superior and savvier competitor. And that competitor is getting new leadership too. September 2012 Cupertino California. The CEO of Apple is on stage in front of a giant LED screen. Behind him are pictures of various iPads. He's wearing glasses and is dressed in black as his customary. But he's not Steve Jobs. This is Tim Cook, the COO turned CEO after the founder, Steve Jobs, passed away last year. To gin up enthusiasm in the ranks, he cites a list of apple's greatest hits. Just last quarter, we sold a whopping 17 million iPads, setting an all new record for iPad sales. We sold more iPads than any PC manufacturer sold of their entire PC lineup. In the time that Apple sold 17 million iPads, rim sold a mere 260,000 playbooks. In touting apple's gains, cook is essentially reading rim. Its last right. And we've recently crossed 700,000 apps in the store. Last quarter, we sold our 400 million iOS device. And then, of course, Apple brings out a new phone. Today we're taking it to the next level, making a huge leap. When the iPhone 5 goes on sale, it cements apple's place as the smartphone to have. Once it's launched, the iPhone 5 berries the BlackBerry ten. The company continues to innovate, releasing a new model every year. Many consider the iPhone to be the most successful product ever sold. Once the pioneer of smartphones, the BlackBerry has been relegated to a punchline. But it hasn't disappeared altogether. Rim was renamed BlackBerry limited and is still listed on the stock market. It sells affordable phones in the developing world. But there's one big what if it haunts some BlackBerry fans? False leaves SMS two strategy of making BBM available across carriers. Was actually pretty smart. It would have functioned like WhatsApp. And in 2014, Facebook bought it for $16 billion.

Uh, but then the project generate revenues at the Howard terminal Infrastructure financing estimated to include $495 million to be used for infrastructure development, so that would be the taxpayers on the hook for 485 million. That's just an estimate, though, and but just to balance that out. It's estimated that it would bring in $7 billion in new revenue over the life of the stadium for offers. Yeah, Yeah, well, that's so It's an investment, right? Yeah, well, these They always argue that in the case of these huge sunk costs of the short you're talking about, right is that look, you pay the money now It's a lot. But obviously over the life of the stadium, and usually they'll, you know they'll break it out over the course of a decade or whatever. It'll pay for itself and you know the city will get its money back. Look, it's a It's a huge commitment on the part of the city and on the part of the AIDS, but I hope they stay there.
