00:00Dan Dibley yesterday is like,
00:02Kerr, you know what they say about you and Pods.
00:06You guys are joined at the hip.
00:08You like him way too much.
00:09He might be your nephew.
00:11What do you got to say about that, Kerr?
00:14And this is what he said.
00:15He's got a really good feel for the game.
00:18When he's off the ball,
00:20he is one of the best defensive players we have on our team.
00:24And I know people may not see that,
00:26but it's the anticipation.
00:29It's playing on the weak side.
00:31It's weak side help.
00:33It's being disruptive.
00:34It's taking charges.
00:36He's one of our best rebounders.
00:38Two straight 15 rebound games last week.
00:41And offensively, he's still finding his way.
00:43I mean, I talk about it all the time publicly.
00:46Getting off the ball early in a possession
00:48and then getting it back,
00:50he generates a lot of shots for us.
00:51Running through the catch,
00:53generating closeouts,
00:54and then all of a sudden we're attacking five on four.
00:58He does that better than most of our guys.
01:01And for us to generate good shots,
01:04he's generally got to be out on the floor more often than not.
01:07Okay.
01:07I want to read.
01:08There's a series of texts from the 925.
01:10Congrats.
01:11You did it.
01:12You said the right things that have bothered me enough.
01:15I'd like to read this and address it.
01:17Okay.
01:19925.
01:19Mark, your opinion is all that matters.
01:22Thank you for telling us what we are really feeling.
01:25I guess we didn't know.
01:27I think it's a birds of a feather syndrome with you and pods.
01:31Look in that mirror.
01:34First of all, 925.
01:35Do you have a sarcasm?
01:37Possibly.
01:38Okay.
01:39Possibly.
01:40Thank you, Kyle.
01:41Hey, 925.
01:42I love you.
01:43Thank you for listening and thinking enough of the show to text us in
01:47and all of that.
01:49Look, if you can,
01:51I'll hear you if you hear me.
01:54Okay?
01:55You're right.
01:57I want to tell you what to think.
01:59Me and pods are the two most arrogant people in the Bay Area.
02:02If you can tell me another,
02:05and let's go,
02:07I don't know,
02:07last 25 years,
02:09another drafted homegrown player here in the Bay that outperformed draft
02:15status.
02:17I think we can all agree on that.
02:19If you can name another one that brought about this kind of reaction from
02:24the fan base,
02:25then I'll hear you and I'll,
02:27I'll meet you halfway.
02:28If not,
02:30then I'm going to go to bed tonight feeling very much like you're not
02:35actually that triggered by an athlete being arrogant because that's
02:43checks notes.
02:44Most of them.
02:44Right?
02:46So does that annoy you?
02:48Fine.
02:49Let it annoy you.
02:50I know a lot of people who got annoyed that Nick Bosa put a red hat on,
02:55on national TV one night,
02:57but,
02:58and no,
02:59I'm not stopped with the,
03:01now we're comparing pods to Nick Bosa.
03:03Nick Bosa is a DPOI.
03:04I get it.
03:05Some people got annoyed when Debo Samuel went after the long snapper and the
03:09kicker,
03:09or started screaming about more targets and then dropped a game winning
03:13touchdown the very next week.
03:14Right.
03:15Like athletes,
03:17like just people,
03:18people in general,
03:20clearly I'm doing it to nine to five right now.
03:22Annoy you.
03:23Someone just wrote in Draymond green.
03:25Hello.
03:26Does Draymond not annoy you?
03:28Um,
03:30but I don't think that this is usually the way drafted over performing draft
03:37status players usually get seen.
03:41I don't,
03:42I can't think of a comp.
03:44Yeah.
03:44It's a lot.
03:45If you can think of a comp,
03:46I'll meet you halfway.
03:47How about that?
03:48I guess that's fair.
03:49And you know,
03:50the one I'm just stuck on is Alex Smith where,
03:52you know,
03:53there was talk about how he had small hands right from the get go,
03:56small hands.
03:57And,
03:57you know,
03:58he didn't outperform his draft position because he was number one overall,
04:02but he was a guy who almost from the jump was criticized.
04:06And it was partly because Aaron Rogers,
04:08once he got on the field after a,
04:10uh,
04:11uh,
04:12Rogers balled out.
04:13So,
04:13so much,
04:14and he was the local kid.
04:15So there was a lot of factors that led to the Alex Smith sports hate.
04:19But this one is a little bit weird.
04:21The guy was taken 19th,
04:23which is,
04:23you know,
04:24mid first round.
04:25And he's somebody who has been a big contributor and Steve Kerr likes him.
04:30And I was just looking at the two man lineups.
04:31And he said this to us yesterday.
04:33He loves to look at the two man lineups.
04:36And if you look at the productivity,
04:38he's on the number four rank,
04:40number five rank,
04:41number six rank lineup in plus minus.
04:44So it's not like the guy gets in there and he's a bum when he plays.
04:48And he's out there with Al,
04:49with Jimmy,
04:50with Moses.
04:51Those are productive lineups,
04:52two man lineups for him.
04:53Right.
04:54And by the way,
04:54like,
04:55I just like to say this before.
04:56I'm so excited that coach and Vallejo is called.
04:58I know that we've really touched a nerve when that happens,
05:01but,
05:02um,
05:03so we're going to go to the phones here in just a sec.
05:05I like,
05:06for me,
05:07this isn't even about pods,
05:10the player.
05:10It's not really about whether you,
05:12I don't care if you're not a fan of him.
05:14I honestly,
05:15like I'm going to get over it in an hour.
05:17If the warriors were to not extend him and trade him someday,
05:21this is more about me noticing something that I feel is kind of an inequity with other things that we've
05:30seen like it in,
05:31in the past.
05:32I've never seen this before.
05:33I've never seen a drafted player sort of viewed this way when he didn't really do a whole lot to
05:44participate in creating this reaction.
05:47If you don't think he's good and you don't like him,
05:49that's fine.
05:50That's fine.
05:51But like,
05:53I think there are also some of you out there who may be,
05:55and I,
05:56I get this too.
05:57You might not feel like it's that loud.
05:59And that has a lot to do with where we all spend time because of our jobs.
06:04It is our job to spend a lot of time consuming engagement.
06:10And I'm telling you,
06:12it's vile.
06:13Oh,
06:13you're telling me it's you go ahead and me.
06:16You tell him I just from you tell him about Twitter last night.
06:20I mean,
06:20it's been or Instagram or whatever a Twitch show.
06:23It's been a Twitch storm,
06:25whatever you want.
06:26And it hasn't stopped.
06:27And so I'm getting,
06:28you know,
06:28about five to eight mentions an hour,
06:31even now a full day later.
06:32And it's not even to me anymore.
06:33It's to the people who responded to me.
06:36And then those people respond to the responders.
06:38And so the block is hot.
06:40Shout out Shamari block with,
06:42you know,
06:43commentary and opinions.
06:44And it's another one of these polarizing people like Kaminga.
06:49You either thought he had the ha ha or you thought that he's not that good.
06:52And now the people who think he's great,
06:54you're getting a victory lap.
06:56It's an early victory lap.
06:57And the people who didn't think he was that great,
06:59you kind of have to take a step back.
07:00And pods is the same way.
07:02I can plus minus you and two man lineup you.
07:04And the other people can say,
07:06he's Kerr's nephew.
07:07Yeah.
07:08But did you know,
07:08like the JK thing is interesting.
07:10Cause did you notice,
07:11I thought that there was obviously a very emotional conversation that's gone
07:14on for years about Jonathan,
07:15but I,
07:16I,
07:16I never really heard a wing.
07:19Even if you were kind of,
07:21I don't know,
07:22you didn't think Jonathan was that good.
07:23Or you understood where the warriors were coming from.
07:26I never heard it get personal like this with Jonathan.
07:30Jonathan's a bleepity bleep.
07:31And this,
07:32that like,
07:32I got personal with Kerr though.
07:34Like,
07:35you know,
07:35Kerr,
07:36Kerr doesn't like him.
07:37It's personal.
07:37That's why Kerr doesn't play.
07:38And then that's a matter of,
07:40I mean,
07:40quite frankly,
07:41those are opinions that none of us know if they're even true.
07:44I have no idea what those conversations were like behind the scenes.
07:47I have no idea,
07:48but I never,
07:50if you were sort of thought of as anti JK,
07:54when did it ever get personal?
07:56Do you know what I mean?
07:57Like I,
07:58like I've,
07:58I've said this a thousand times.
08:00I thought I'm amazed at the way Jonathan handled this as a person.
08:05I thought he was so level-headed through all kinds of things where he could have blown his top.
08:12Maybe he did behind the scenes.
08:13I don't know,
08:15you know,
08:16but I thought from a public standpoint,
08:18I thought he handled it brilliantly,
08:21quite frankly.
08:22And that's why it never for fans got personal because you never saw Kaminga really twirl the finger.
08:28He didn't come in and say,
08:30I'm,
08:31you know,
08:31I'm going to be the best player.
08:32I'm going to be the best small forward this,
08:34this city's ever seen.
08:35He just went about trying to get minutes and,
08:38and playing.
08:38And so I think people are put off by the way Brandon has gone about,
08:42you know,
08:43trying to be himself and trying to excel.
08:45What a wild experience.
08:47This has all been from,
08:48from Jonathan to Brandon fan bases.
08:51Usually grab those drafted players and just squeeze.
08:56Usually.
08:57Yeah.
08:57Usually.
08:58Until it's time to let go.
08:59That's fine.
09:00If they underperform,
09:02like,
09:02yeah,
09:03you know,
09:03Solomon Thomas,
09:03Oh,
09:04they should have never taken him and trade Lance.
09:06He had to go.
09:06And you know,
09:07there've been busts for everyone.
09:08Even James Wiseman,
09:09like he couldn't play and then he got hurt and he still isn't playing.
09:13But we're usually stubborn about that.
09:15Like we,
09:15we,
09:15we,
09:16you know what I mean?
09:17Like we hang on too long.
09:18I do this with every single fantasy team I've ever drafted.
09:20I don't want to trade my players.
09:21I always think they're about to bust out the next week.
09:25Like you just,
09:25you're drafted players.
09:27Those are your guys.
09:28They're your guys.
09:29Yeah.
09:30And if they overperform their draft status,
09:32what?
09:33Then they're really,
09:34really your guys.
09:36Um,
09:36all right.
09:37Coach and Vallejo says Willard's full of it.
09:39There's a new one.
09:40Hi.
09:41Uh,
09:41hi coach.
09:42Thank you so much for calling.
09:43What's up.
09:45Hey Willard and Dibs watching you guys.
09:47So appreciate it.
09:48You kind of nod your head.
09:50If you understand what I'm talking about,
09:51um,
09:52with the pods thing,
09:53number one is all the minutes he gets to play.
09:57I mean,
09:57he leads the teams in minutes.
09:59Okay.
09:59You never mentioned that Willard.
10:00That's a big part of the dislike of pods.
10:03We don't think he should be the team leader in minutes played.
10:07Okay.
10:07That's that's off the top.
10:09Number two,
10:10I agree with you,
10:11Willard.
10:11It's not all pods fault.
10:14It's Kerr's fault.
10:15He gave pods the keys to the city too early and made pods think that he was one of the
10:22big three or whatever.
10:24That's why he felt he could kind of hone in on that conversation with Dre, Steph and Clay when they
10:29met at that Dallas game.
10:31Like he's part of a,
10:32he's like,
10:33he's a made man.
10:34Pod thinks he's a made man.
10:36And,
10:37you know,
10:38a lot of his teammates really don't care for him.
10:40He's got into it with buddy healed.
10:42Who's one of the nicest guys on the team.
10:44Okay.
10:45And he recently got into it with one other player on the team,
10:48but he likes the team.
10:50Quentin post.
10:51Quentin post.
10:51Exactly.
10:52He likes to tell people what to do on the court.
10:55He runs down.
10:56He's pointing around telling everyone where to go on the court before the game.
11:00He has to bounce the ball and touch it.
11:02Like he's a pure shooter like Steph Curry.
11:04So there's a bunch of cockiness there.
11:06And let's not forget the,
11:09what he tried to show up to Valkyries on their opening game.
11:12I mean,
11:12that turned off a lot of fans.
11:14That's really bad.
11:15And I want to say for the JK thing and it did where you miss Willard people like
11:20myself,
11:20we really got tired of people talking about JK and his IQ.
11:25I mean that,
11:26so that was personal.
11:27that was very personal.
11:28So,
11:29so coach,
11:29can I point something out?
11:31Because I think everything,
11:32everything that you just said is understandable.
11:36I think you speak for a lot of people and outside,
11:40once again,
11:41outside of you viewing things on TV that to you feel overly cocky.
11:48I don't think most of that was about Brandon.
11:51The number one thing you brought up was,
11:53is that he was given the keys to the car and he gets too many minutes.
11:57Yeah.
11:57He's not in charge of that.
11:59That's it.
11:59That's it.
12:00It's completely out of his control.
12:02What's he supposed to do?
12:03Look at Steve and be like,
12:04I'm not going in.
12:05And you're giving me too many minutes,
12:06coach.
12:07This is not a Latter-day Saints commercial.
12:09Like,
12:10what,
12:11what,
12:11what,
12:12what's he supposed to do?
12:15You're right.
12:15It's not him.
12:16And I,
12:16that's the first thing I said,
12:17it's Kerr's fault.
12:19Okay.
12:19So then you're mad at Kerr.
12:20Then you're mad at Kerr.
12:22Okay.
12:23I'm mad at both because Kerr again,
12:25has lost touch with reality and today's basketball.
12:30He likes the short,
12:31slow,
12:32fat dumpy players.
12:33When most of the league has gone long,
12:35tall,
12:35lean and athletic.
12:36Okay.
12:37And pods represents the 1960 style of basketball.
12:41It's not aesthetically beautiful.
12:43Okay.
12:43He's got the floppy hair,
12:45like Reggie Bullard,
12:46you know,
12:47remember Reggie Bullard,
12:47the hair used to bounce her front.
12:49I mean,
12:50to draw,
12:50to draw attention to himself.
12:53Trump pods,
12:53he's never met a microphone.
12:55He didn't like,
12:55I mean,
12:56he's on almost every post game.
12:58So it's all of that,
12:59Willard.
13:00And I hope you can understand that we,
13:03he even said he wanted to be the face of the worst.
13:06He wanted Dream on his step to go to management and give him the key.
13:10Remember when he said that?
13:11And we all,
13:13coach,
13:13thank you so much.
13:14We all agree.
13:14That was like,
13:15that was annoying.
13:16And he threw the Valkyries in there and they love the fact that he's
13:19courtside and he was our Valkyries ambassador.
13:22And this goes to my point.
13:23I think that we,
13:24we grab things and this is what you always,
13:28talk about with confirmation bias.
13:30We grab things and we go,
13:32I can't see like some people would look,
13:34I'll tell you this coach.
13:36I have a 17 year old daughter.
13:38She loves the Valkyries.
13:41She was inspired by what she saw last year and she loves what Brandon
13:47Pajemski did for that organization.
13:49Yeah.
13:50She loves it.
13:52Absolutely loves it.
13:55So I like,
13:57like if that,
13:58if that annoys you and his hair,
14:01I mean,
14:02so now we're like,
14:04that's,
14:04that's adjacent to body shaming.
14:06Almost like now we're mad at the hair.
14:08So like,
14:09sure.
14:10If pods annoys you,
14:13that's kind of what I'm hearing.
14:14Pods is annoying.
14:16Okay.
14:17Then be annoyed,
14:18not filled with vitriol.
14:22But I like what you said about,
14:23you know,
14:24minutes in the Latter-day Saints commercials.
14:26I told the truth.
14:28Coach,
14:29thanks for pointing to me,
14:30but I think we should spread it around a little bit.
14:32My friend Jonathan over here,
14:34he,
14:35he probably deserves those minutes.
14:36Why don't we go with him coach?
14:38Do you know why he leads the team in minutes?
14:40Not only because Kerr puts him in,
14:42but he's the only warrior to play in all 61 games.
14:46So when you're available and you're healthy and you're not terrible,
14:50and he's probably level average.
14:52He's not part of the sixties and he's not a slow dumpy player.
14:56I thought that was a little bit more body shaming than the hair.
15:00But when you're available for 61 and you play 27 minutes a night,
15:04you're going to lead the team in minutes.
15:06Well,
15:06and,
15:06and correct me if I'm wrong.
15:08Availability is usually something that we would like to,
15:11to prop up.
15:12Right.
15:12And you don't have a lot of that.
15:14Like Steph leads in minutes per game.
15:16He's played 39 games.
15:18Jimmy second.
15:19He played in 38 games.
15:20Then pods is getting 27 minutes a night.
15:22He's played in all the games.
15:24And then you get down to Quentin post has played in all,
15:27but one game.
15:28So there's a bunch of guys on this team who haven't been available to play
15:33games.
15:33Brandon's always available and you know,
15:36he's eager to get out there.
15:37So he's going to lead the team in minutes.
15:41Let's see.
15:42Is,
15:43Oh,
15:43I mean,
15:46Nabila.
15:47I,
15:48I,
15:48I,
15:48I'm just going to ask for your name.
15:50Nabila.
15:51That's okay.
15:52You got to give,
15:53you got to do all caps with one.
15:54I don't know where the emphasis is.
15:56Lucas.
15:57All right.
15:58The all caps is where you put the emphasis.
16:01Right.
16:01Right.
16:01There's,
16:02they're all,
16:02it's all caps.
16:03It's all caps.
16:04Then you got to just blurt it.
16:07Nabila.
16:07No,
16:08I,
16:08I really don't like getting people's names wrong.
16:11I'm really,
16:12I'm by it bothers me.
16:13So that's why I,
16:15okay.
16:16Nabila in Richmond.
16:17Hi,
16:17thank you for calling.
16:19Thanks.
16:20You guys said it perfectly.
16:21Can you hear me?
16:21We got you.
16:23You got me good.
16:25That's great.
16:25No,
16:26you said it perfectly.
16:26Oh,
16:27well,
16:27you did.
16:28Okay.
16:28Okay.
16:28Good.
16:30So I am,
16:31you know,
16:32I,
16:32you guys are giving me so many good points to kind of go over,
16:35but I know I can't go over them all,
16:36but I liken it to pod.
16:39This is about pod.
16:40I liken it to like,
16:41you know,
16:41when your parents favor a sibling and then the other siblings get upset.
16:46And I think that's what it is.
16:48Really.
16:48You know,
16:48it's just like the other siblings get upset.
16:50The fans are the siblings,
16:52the other siblings,
16:53you know,
16:53because I'm in that same boat.
16:55I look at pod and I'm like,
16:56why is he out there?
16:57Why?
16:58There's time.
16:58But then other times I'm like,
16:59he's out there hustling.
17:00He's doing great.
17:01And then other times I'm like,
17:03well,
17:03we've stalled.
17:04We're not scoring.
17:04We're not doing this.
17:06He has the most minutes.
17:08And when Steve comes on,
17:10it's like,
17:10oh,
17:10well he,
17:10he creates shots for good.
17:12It's like,
17:12well,
17:13we're at least creating shots and those shots aren't going down.
17:15So why is he out there?
17:17And we need people out there that are actually just going to put up shots
17:19if they can make their own shots,
17:21you know,
17:22and availability.
17:23And another thing somebody said the best is availability.
17:25That's like getting a participation trophy.
17:27Just because you're available,
17:29you get to play with a lot of guys that were on that bench that
17:31are available and got to play.
17:33I just remember G for,
17:35I mean,
17:35G,
17:36why was he,
17:36he was playing before G was out there.
17:39Why?
17:39And look at what G is doing now,
17:41you know?
17:42So I just,
17:43I,
17:43I just wanted to say that it's just,
17:45it's kind of like,
17:46we kind of see that like,
17:47oh yeah,
17:47he's doing well.
17:48Great.
17:48But then another time,
17:49it's just like,
17:50it's not going so great.
17:52Thank you for the call.
17:53And I think that that's a,
17:55the likening it to a boy,
17:56the favorite brother.
17:57It's a very,
17:58very good comp.
17:59I get it.
18:00I do still hear people.
18:02And this is,
18:03this is always hard.
18:04Like she brings up G and,
18:05and,
18:06and when we compare players for me,
18:10it's very,
18:10very difficult when they,
18:11they play a completely different position.
18:14Right.
18:14Like why did G not get in there?
18:16That's it's actually ironic.
18:19Understand.
18:19If G had gotten in there even earlier,
18:22earlier,
18:22do you know who would have had an even harder time getting on the floor?
18:25This is Jonathan Kaminga.
18:27Jonathan Kaminga would have had an even harder time getting on the floor.
18:32G is getting in there because now Jonathan's traded and Jimmy Butler tore his ACL.
18:36And that's why Guy is getting in there.
18:39But that was,
18:40that's a log jam in that spot that quite frankly,
18:43the Warriors don't really have at,
18:46and I know it's funny.
18:47Everyone's always a far,
18:49four guard lineups.
18:50Not really.
18:51Not really.
18:51Like who's playing,
18:53who's pods competing with for minutes?
18:56Well,
18:56there's Curry.
18:57Melton.
18:57Yep.
18:58And Melton who can't play back to backs,
19:00which is why he's only played in a 33 of the 61.
19:03Okay.
19:04Potts Spencer.
19:05Right.
19:06Sciatica Curry.
19:07Yep.
19:07Seth Curry,
19:08who doesn't play.
19:10And a GP two,
19:11who is kind of on again,
19:13off again.
19:13He's more of a spot player.
19:14Right.
19:16And that's kind of it.
19:17They have Moses listed as a shooting guard,
19:19but he's more of a three,
19:20four now.
19:21He plays three,
19:22four.
19:22Right.
19:22So you look at the back court and they're kind of thin and,
19:26you know,
19:27Steph is going to play when Steph is able to play,
19:30but he hasn't been able to play a ton.
19:32And so who else are you going to go to?
19:35Pods,
19:35Pods,
19:36Pods.
19:36You're going to go to Pods.
19:37Pods,
19:37Pods,
19:38Pods.
19:38You're going to go to Pods.
19:40Okay.
19:41Engagement is everything.
19:42Yeah.
19:42Him.
19:44Remember the good old days when that's what we used to talk about with Pods?
19:47Krasinski.
19:48Krasinski.
19:49How did you say his name?
19:51I miss those days.
19:53Yeah.
19:54That was fun.
19:55Brandon Krasinski.
19:57Now some people pronounce it sucks.
20:00And it's like,
20:01I don't think that's how you say it.
20:02Brandon.
20:04Podsoski.
20:04Podsoski.
20:05I saw that in my Twitter.
20:06Podsoski.
20:07What?
20:08Lucas,
20:09you're the one who can't even say the Brandon part.
20:11They can do it.
20:12You can't do it.
20:13You don't,
20:14you don't have to turn it into a drop.
20:18Okay.
20:19I got a,
20:20That's on you.
20:22Podschmitzki,
20:22but with the other word other than Schmidt in my Twitter.
20:26You better be careful.
20:27I was very careful.
