00:00Here's Bryce Harper again on the Pat McAfee show today.
00:03Okay, so Phillies or Giants?
00:04Yeah.
00:05Anybody else in play?
00:06It was like San Diego and a couple other teams,
00:08but it came down to Phillies-Giants.
00:10Giants are like a very respected organization.
00:13Oh, 100%.
00:13Judge, too, right?
00:14Yeah, Judge was close.
00:15Arson Judge.
00:16Yeah.
00:16He had a heart attack.
00:17Arson Judge.
00:19Yeah, it was close.
00:20The thing that killed me was Bochy was retiring.
00:22Yeah, of course.
00:23So, I mean, he's the greatest.
00:24Bochy's the greatest.
00:25Massive head.
00:26Yeah, Bochy.
00:26Oh, the biggest.
00:27Yeah.
00:28The biggest.
00:29Massive head.
00:30Oh, the biggest.
00:32I love that that's the first take on Bruce Bochy.
00:36Well, I mean.
00:37I guess if you're not totally locked in on such things as the World Series.
00:41Is this hat size eight?
00:43Yeah.
00:43Is that right?
00:44Yep.
00:45Grandy doesn't know.
00:46No, it is for sure.
00:47Yeah.
00:48Is it more than eight?
00:49No, I think it's just a solid eight.
00:51Hang on.
00:52Bruce Bochy hat size.
00:54Google Sal Castaneda hat size, too,
00:56because that man also gigantic mellow.
00:59AI says that Bruce Bochy is eight and an eighth.
01:03Eight and an eighth.
01:04Okay.
01:06For a big head.
01:07Yeah.
01:07Right, right.
01:08That is big.
01:09Yeah.
01:09I think Sal Castaneda is right around an eight.
01:12Friend of the program.
01:14I didn't know.
01:15Like, when they used to,
01:16because I know that they still make them.
01:18I don't do the fitted hats anymore.
01:20Like, it's just too much of a pain in the rear to try.
01:23You know what I mean?
01:24Yeah.
01:24We don't need sizes.
01:24Just get a snapback or even the ones that just kind of stretch you a little bit around
01:29your head, small, medium, large.
01:31Eight and an eighth.
01:32I've never gone to a store where there was an eight and an eighth.
01:35They don't make those.
01:36No.
01:37And it's kind of like with shoes, if you get north of even a 14, I know it's hard to
01:44come by.
01:44My son, Quest, who is, he's 6'2", he rocks a 14.
01:49So.
01:50Really?
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
01:58going 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,
02:06like a nine and a half or a 10.
02:09So you just never know.
02:11Oh 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, eight and an eighth to eight and a quarter,
02:32parentheses, standard, off the chart size.
02:37Yeah.
02:38That's, Bochy'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,
02:50you know, your 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
03:07order the helmets because eight and an eighth is not in stock.
03:11I think that is true.
03:13I 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.
03:23Oh.
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.
03:35And that's, that's the one who got away.
03:38That's the one who got away.
03:40And I'm one thing I'd love to, and you know, it'd be, boy, he's working with the Dodgers
03:45now.
03:46So we're not like, it'd be great to actually, once you get a few years removed from even
03:51the people that, that make you mad, like I'd love to have Farhan on the show and, and
03:57ask him questions just about the way everything.
04:00Yeah.
04:01The way that went far on.
04:02Well, okay.
04:03So legend has it that the Giants are sitting right around three, 305 million and Bryce Harper
04:09and the Phillies get to three 30, 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
04:23money.
04:23So total dollars in years, right?
04:25That he signed.
04:25How was it?
04:2611 or 13.
04:27Okay.
04:27Anyway, anyway, 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, you wouldn't be, if you bid on a home, that's $400,000 and, and, and let's say, and
04:42I know that doesn't exist here in the Bay, but like pretend.
04:46And the, the, the, the sellers come back to you and they counter at four 15, what are you
04:55going to do?
04:55No, no, no, no.
04:57I can't do that.
04:58Your monthly payment would change like what?
05:02$12.
05:03Max, bro.
05:04I, 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.
05:11And the, the price was just a bit outside, just a bit outside of what we were comfortable
05:19paying.
05:20And so we offered less and then they countered and their counter was still a little bit
05:24more than what we were going to want to pay.
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 grand total.
05:35You can't do that.
05:36Over the course of 30 years, you're talking about, uh, that would be 460 payments.
05:41So if you want to take the 15 grand divided by 460, you're looking at about six bucks a
05:47payment, roughly five bucks a payment.
05:50What'd you say?
05:51The number was 460 payments.
05:53Yeah.
05:53If you 15,000 divided by 460.
05:57Yeah.
05:57It's 32.
05:58Okay.
05:59So 32.
06:00And if you want to add in, uh, the, the mortgage rate, then yeah, it might be 45 or 50
06:06bucks.
06:06So you're going to let a house go over 40 bucks 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.
06:18Like, so that's my question for Farhan.
06:21And 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
06:33age.
06:34He was in his twenties.
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 three 30.
06:44And then Boris calls and he goes, the Phillies are at three 30.
06:48And the giants are like, we're out.
06:51You're out.
06:54That's, that's $25 million for the giants over more than a decade.
07:02Yeah.
07:02That's nothing.
07:03That's two and a half million dollars 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,
07:15we'll do three 40.
07:16Right.
07:16You know, and you're like, okay, we'll do three.
07:17I get it.
07:18It has.
07:19But why would you, why would you let Bryce Harper, if he really, it sounded like he was
07:24pretty open to coming hell, I'd have rehired Bruce Bochy if that was the thing.
07:30Cause this Bruce Bochy retired thing.
07:33No, he didn't.
07:34No, no, he didn't retire.
07:36No, they went a different direction.
07:37And you could honestly like rehire Bruce Bochy and then he signs and then you could just
07:42re-retire Bruce Bochy.
07:44Sorry, Bryce.
07:45You signed.
07:46Got him, but they fired me.
07:50It just had me thinking about other things and other teams and other sports like, you
07:55know, Steve Kerr, for example, if you are a free agent heading into this next year, you
08:01either want to play for Steve Kerr or you 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 short list of the gold standard
08:12coaches in the NFL.
08:14So if you're an offensive player and you want to go somewhere, you're a free agent, you would
08:19look at the 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
08:32player, 24, 25, and you're a free agent, you might look at Steve and think, well, he
08:37doesn't like young players.
08:39So 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, I 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, I'm not thinking
09:03that 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
09:18two or 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, the warrior
09:31brand and 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
09:44staying power of the warrior brand?
09:47And 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.
