00:00Here's Bryce Harper again on the Pat McAfee show today. Okay, so Phillies or Giants? Yeah. Anybody else in play?
00:06It was like San Diego and a couple other teams, but it came down to Phillies-Giants. Giants are like
00:11a very respected organization.
00:13Oh, 100%. Judge, too, right? Yeah, no doubt. Arson Judge. Yeah, he had a heart attack.
00:17Arson Judge. Yeah, it was close. The thing that killed me was Bochy was retiring.
00:22Yeah, of course. So, I mean, he's the greatest of all time. Legend, Bochy's the greatest. Massive head.
00:25Yeah, Bochy. Oh, the biggest. Yeah. The biggest. Massive head. Oh, the biggest.
00:32I love that that's the first take on Bruce Bochy.
00:36Well, I mean. I guess if you're not totally locked in on such things as the World Series.
00:41Is this hat size eight? Yeah. Is that right? Yep.
00:45Randy doesn't know. No, it is for sure. Yeah. Is it more than eight?
00:49No, I think it's just a solid eight. Hang on, Bruce Bochy hat size.
00:53Google Sal Castaneda hat size, too, because that man also gigantic mellow.
00:59AI says that Bruce Bochy is eight and an eighth.
01:03Eight and an eighth. Okay.
01:06For a big head. Yeah. Right, right.
01:08That is big. Yeah.
01:09I think Sal Castaneda is right around an eight. Friend of the program.
01:14I didn't know. Like, when they used to, because I know that they still make them.
01:17I don't do the fitted hats anymore. Like, it's just too much of a pain in the rear to try.
01:23You know what I mean? We don't need sizes. Just get a snapback or even the ones that just kind
01:27of stretch you a little bit around your head.
01:29Small, medium, large. Eight and an eighth. I've never gone to a store where there was an eight and an
01:34eighth.
01:35They don't make those.
01:36No. And it's kind of like with shoes, if you get north of even a 14, I know it's hard
01:43to come by.
01:44My son, Quest, who is, he's 6'2", he rocks a 14.
01:49So, really?
01:5114.
01:51See, and when did he get to size 14?
01:54Because that's usually people look at that foot size as an indicator of how tall you're going to be.
01:58Yeah, I think that's...
01:59And size 14 is usually like, you're going to be like 6'6".
02:02Well, it's funny because his brother, also my son, also 6'2", I think he wears like a 9 1⁄2
02:08or a 10.
02:09So, you just never know.
02:10Oh, my gosh.
02:12Yeah.
02:12That's funny.
02:13That's funny.
02:14He actually might be taller than Quest.
02:15He's probably 6'2 and an eighth.
02:17Damn.
02:18Yeah.
02:19This is great.
02:20I love AI overview because it says hat size, 8 and an eighth to 8 and a quarter, parentheses,
02:35standard, off-the-chart size.
02:37Yeah.
02:39Bochy's head is off-the-chart.
02:43Perfect.
02:43Off-the-chart.
02:44Yeah.
02:44Right.
02:44Massive, as some would say.
02:46Well, and you know, like when you have kids and you go to the doctor, they measure you, you know,
02:51your height, your weight, and also your head size.
02:54And so, you can kind of see where you are on the percentiles, you know?
02:58That's 99th percentile.
03:00Is this true?
03:01There's a story out here that says that he said when he played that teams had to special order the
03:07helmets because 8 and an eighth is not in stock.
03:11I think that is true.
03:12I also saw a story from a friend of the program, Tim Kirkjian.
03:16He reported individually that that is underselling the size of Bruce Bochy's head.
03:22Oh.
03:23That's a good question.
03:24Yeah.
03:24It might be even bigger.
03:27Maybe.
03:31I don't know.
03:32Anyway, Bryce Harper, right?
03:34That would have been fun.
03:36That's the one who got away.
03:38That's the one who got away.
03:39And one thing I'd love to, and you know, boy, he's working with the Dodgers now, so we're not, like,
03:46it'd be great to actually, once you get a few years removed from even the people that make you mad,
03:53like, I'd love to have Farhan on the show.
03:56And ask him questions just about the way everything's, yeah.
04:01Damn it, Farhan!
04:02Well, okay, so legend has it that the Giants are sitting right around $305 million, and Bryce Harper and the
04:10Phillies get to $330, but it's for more years.
04:13So, the Giants were in a great spot in the AAV, but Bryce valued overall, like, it's guaranteed money, so
04:23total dollars.
04:24That's 11 years, right, that he signed?
04:25Was it 11 or 13?
04:27Okay, anyway.
04:28Anyway, whatever it was.
04:30So, I sort of view, when you're at that level, isn't it kind of like buying a house?
04:36You wouldn't bid, if you bid on a home that's $400,000, and let's, and I know that doesn't exist
04:43here in the Bay, but, like, pretend, and the sellers come back to you, and they counter at $415, what
04:54are you going to do?
04:55No, no, no, no, I can't do that.
04:58Your monthly payment would change, like, what, $12?
05:03Max.
05:04Bro, I did this.
05:05I told you this story, right?
05:06Tell me the story again.
05:07My wife and I were trying to buy the house that we currently now own, and the price was just
05:14a bit outside.
05:15Yeah.
05:16Just a bit outside of what we were comfortable paying.
05:19Okay.
05:20And so, we offered less, and then they countered, and their counter was still a little bit more than what
05:25we were going to, you know, want to pay.
05:27Sure.
05:27And so, my wife said, we can't do that.
05:29We can't do that.
05:30And I said, babe, if you think about it, it's about $15,000 total.
05:35You can't do that.
05:36Over the course of 30 years.
05:3830 years.
05:38You're talking about, that would be 460 payments.
05:41So, if you want to take the $15,000 divided by 460, you're looking at about $6 a payment, roughly,
05:49$5 a payment.
05:50What did you say the number was?
05:52460 payments?
05:53Yeah, if you.
05:54$15,000 divided by 460, you're $32.
05:58Okay.
05:59So.
06:00$32.
06:00And if you want to add in the mortgage rate, then, yeah, it might be $45 or $50.
06:06So, you're going to let a house go over $40 a month.
06:09Right.
06:10We're going to walk away.
06:11You spend that on coffee by Thursday.
06:14I spent that on lunch today or dinner last night.
06:18So, that's my question for Farhan, and I don't know how it works.
06:22Damn it, Farhan!
06:23But wouldn't you love to be like, okay, how does that conversation go?
06:27Bryce Harper, who at the time, very, very rare that somebody is a free agent at that age.
06:34He was in his 20s.
06:36He was a young guy.
06:37It's kind of like the Juan Soto thing.
06:38Yeah.
06:39And you're like, we could do $305 million.
06:42And the Phillies are like, we're going to do $330.
06:44And then Boris calls, and he goes, the Phillies are at $330.
06:48And the Giants are like, we're out.
06:51You're out?
06:54That's $25 million for the Giants over more than a decade.
07:02Yeah, that's nothing.
07:03That's $2.5 million a year.
07:06Why would you, like, why would you not do that?
07:09Now, obviously, it has to stop at some point, because maybe the Phillies are like, okay, we'll do $340.
07:16Right.
07:16You know, and you're like, okay, we'll do $340.
07:17But I get it, but why would you let Bryce Harper, if he really, it sounded like he was pretty
07:24open to coming, hell, I'd have rehired Bruce Bochy if that was the thing.
07:30Seriously.
07:30Because this Bruce Bochy retired thing.
07:33No, he didn't.
07:34No.
07:35No, he didn't retire.
07:36No, they went a different direction.
07:38And you could honestly, like, rehire Bruce Bochy, and then he signs, and then you could just re-retire Bruce
07:44Bochy.
07:44Sorry, Bryce, you signed.
07:46Gaham.
07:47Right.
07:47Got him, but it just had me thinking about other things and other teams and other sports, like, you know,
07:56Steve Kerr, for example.
07:57If you are a free agent heading into this next year, you either want to play for Steve Kerr or
08:03you don't.
08:04So how much does that affect what you do as a team?
08:07You know, in other words, Kyle Shanahan right now is among the shortlist of the gold standard coaches in the
08:13NFL.
08:13So if you're an offensive player and you want to go somewhere, you're a free agent, you would look at
08:19the Niners and you'd say, well, the substation scares me, maybe.
08:24And I love Shanahan, though.
08:26So all these other things you have to kind of weigh.
08:28And so I just was thinking about the Steve Kerr part of this, where if you're a younger player, 24,
08:3425, and you're a free agent, you might look at Steve and think, well, he doesn't like young players.
08:38So maybe I don't want to go there.
08:40Or you're an older guy and you think, yeah, I'd love to go play for Kerr.
08:43He loves veterans.
08:44Well, I wonder.
08:45I wonder how the warrior reputation as a whole, because it's not just Steve Kerr.
08:51Because if I'm looking at joining the Warriors, even if I had some sort of an issue or a question
08:57with the whole Jonathan Kaminga or Jordan Poole process, for that matter,
09:02I'm not thinking that Steve Kerr is going to be here for another five, six, seven years.
09:06Right.
09:07Like, how much longer might Steve Kerr be here?
09:10I don't think that number is as small as some do.
09:14I could see him being here for another two or three years if Steph Curry is here for another two
09:18or three years.
09:19I really do.
09:20But maybe not.
09:22Maybe not.
09:22I think that there's some flexibility and some questions there.
09:26But this goes to that, whatever we were talking to Mark Spears about last week.
09:31The warrior brand.
09:32And now what has happened to it and the sustainability of it.
09:36If you start subtracting the iconic things that currently sit here out of it, what is the staying power of
09:44the warrior brand?
09:46And Mark Spears would have us believe that it sticks.
09:51Like, maybe not the Lakers, but they're up there.
09:54They're up there in the top five.
