00:00Now, back to Stiney and Guru on 95.7 The Game.
00:04All right.
00:05Yeah, it's time for the crossover brought to you by Bay Alarm.
00:09Rest easy.
00:09We've got you covered.
00:10Bayalarm.com.
00:11Today and the rest of this week, we're giving away two spots in our knockout tournament each day.
00:16Two trivia questions.
00:17You know the deal.
00:18Coming up in about 10 minutes, then one after 2 o'clock.
00:20We'll give you the contest line.
00:22You've got to be the first caller.
00:23You win a spot in knockout.
00:24Also, listen closely today.
00:27Tomorrow's two trivia questions.
00:29We'll come from today's crossover.
00:31Getting Zim for Stiney, Guru, Willard, Dibbs.
00:34The guys.
00:34I don't know if I could play for you guys, man.
00:38Do you know why that segment started so seamlessly?
00:43You want to know why?
00:44Why is that?
00:44Because you were ready.
00:47Get ready.
00:49Like something's about to happen.
00:51Be ready.
00:52Especially for Little League.
00:53Why is that so hard?
00:55Evan goes, I couldn't stop laughing.
00:57I couldn't play.
00:58I'm trying.
00:58I'm trying.
00:59Seriously.
01:00Ready stance.
01:01Half these kids, and that's being nice.
01:03Half these kids, their heads are in the snack bar.
01:07Playing with the daisies.
01:08By the first inning.
01:09Big league shoe.
01:10Like if you didn't want to sign up for baseball, don't sign up for baseball.
01:14And the patience you have to have.
01:16Get ready.
01:16A lot of times the parents sign up the kid, and I was telling you guys off there about
01:21my son and fall ball, and playing third.
01:24I miss fall ball.
01:24The ball goes whizzing by his head, and he scurries after it, and my ex-wife leans down
01:29and goes, stop signing him up.
01:32Oh, no, that's all.
01:34And I was like, okay.
01:34That's actually a great comment.
01:36That's a great comment.
01:37That's a little too soon.
01:39No, if he doesn't want to.
01:40The kid is, I mean, he is built like a brick Casey Schmidt house.
01:46But he's still young.
01:47But when he could contact the ball, he was hitting absolute bombs.
01:50Okay, I got you.
01:51He had no interest in back-to-ball contact.
01:53That's the thing.
01:54Like if they don't, I get it when they're five and six, because you don't know, and they
01:59don't know.
02:00When they're 11, they're 12, if they don't want to be there, then find something else
02:06for them to do.
02:07There's nothing worse for the kid, for the coach, for the parents, than everybody putting
02:14all this effort in to somebody who has no interest in being there.
02:18It doesn't have to be.
02:19Yeah, there's a million things you could go do with your time.
02:21Can I ask you this, though?
02:22Like when you're starting out, the kids, I don't know, four or five, whatever.
02:25Yep.
02:25Are you signing them up because you want them to play the sport, or you just want them
02:30to do something?
02:31Something.
02:31Usually it's both.
02:32Just something.
02:33And then I had my son in under six soccer, and I was coaching.
02:37You coaching?
02:38Yeah.
02:38And I had a bunch of keepers for the next level, under eights, and so I signed my son
02:43up again.
02:43And it was pretty clear at that level that he was in.
02:46Was it in the Dynasty League?
02:46Kind of, because you keep your team together.
02:48And so he didn't want to play as an eight-year-old in his final year of under eight
02:52eligibility, but I had a squad.
02:54So I had to bring him back.
02:55Just keep rolling over.
02:57That was the last time I rolled it over, but he still holds it against me.
03:00He's 24.
03:01But I couldn't leave the fireballs.
03:03We had a good solid core that year.
03:05And the missus looked at it like a baby.
03:08The streets will get you if you ain't got nowhere to go after school.
03:11You're going to be in something.
03:12Yeah.
03:12If it's a piano, bat, whatever.
03:14Get involved.
03:15They knew you had to do something.
03:18Get away from the TV.
03:19Go outside.
03:20Live.
03:22And learn how to be around other people.
03:25You're going.
03:26And, you know, yes, let somebody else take care of your kid for an hour and a half.
03:31That part.
03:31Three times a week.
03:32You'll learn here for a baby.
03:34I don't know.
03:34For God's sake, please.
03:36This is why I'm lausate fair about it.
03:38I don't remember my parents ever pushing me towards anything.
03:41Like when I played baseball, it's because I wanted to play baseball.
03:44I saw it on TV or someone doing it.
03:47And I was like, I want to do that.
03:48And then my dad said, well, okay, we're late.
03:51So you can't sign up this year, but we'll do it next year.
03:53And then that's how I got into it.
03:55So that's great.
03:56I don't know.
03:58But to be fair, though, I always wanted to do things.
04:02I was more of a physical, outdoorsy kind of kid.
04:04Then your parents were lucky on that front.
04:07Right.
04:07And you helped guide them, and they listened.
04:09And so that's all good.
04:11The 1% over there.
04:12Yeah, you don't always.
04:13I feel like there's more of us.
04:14You always know.
04:15Oh, there are.
04:15It just depends.
04:17I don't feel like I was ever pushed or guided, except for like summer camp.
04:21Yeah, school.
04:22Like summer camp is when parents are really just.
04:24I've never experienced summer camp.
04:25Oh, that's just, that's when the parents, I learned this.
04:28They're really just giving up.
04:29They're like.
04:30Get out the house.
04:31Well, they're like, we have to work.
04:33I was lucky.
04:34My parents worked in schools, too.
04:35So we literally, as a whole family, had summers off.
04:38Yeah.
04:39Which is even more funny than I went to so many summer camps, because that just meant they
04:42wanted me the hell out of their hair.
04:44But summer, if you've got to work like most people, the kids are just sitting there staring
04:49at you.
04:49No, no.
04:50By 9 in the morning, what do we do?
04:52Dude, you've got to go somewhere.
04:53Go do something.
04:54Those aren't cheap, except when your mom works at a school.
04:57So I did a pirate basketball camp at Drake High School, which is now Archie Williams High.
05:02And I went for free because my mom worked in the office.
05:04So that's why I went to six weeks of basketball camp every summer.
05:08Wow.
05:08It wasn't because I was a diaper dandy.
05:11It's because I was on the house and I was able to go out there and double dribble for free.
05:15Yo, those things now, it's, I mean, on the low end, $400 a week.
05:21If you want to go to one of the really, really nice ones, could be $800, $900 a week.
05:25How many weeks are there in summer?
05:27A lot.
05:28More than you'd think.
05:29A lot, yeah.
05:31Moral of the story, marry a teacher.
05:32Anyway, go ahead.
05:33We had the lovely Elle Duncan from Netflix.
05:36Yeah, and Talented.
05:37I heard it.
05:37I heard the whole thing.
05:38So she'll be in town.
05:40And I told Evan, I didn't like just one game.
05:42I want all the games going at one time.
05:44I know you're going to have some, Guru, you're going to watch all of them.
05:47No, actually, what I was going to say is I'll bet you five bucks right now that you don't
05:51actually bring her a crab sandwich.
05:52Oh, Elle.
05:53No, it's going to be garlic fries.
05:54That's me.
05:55That's me.
05:55Oh, whatever.
05:56We bet.
05:56It's a bet.
05:57Okay.
05:57She said it.
05:58She's waiting on it.
05:59I'm going to deliver them.
06:00Here's how you win the bet.
06:01I want a selfie.
06:02All day.
06:03With you.
06:04All day.
06:05Her.
06:05And the fries.
06:06And Evan.
06:07It's done.
06:07I'm bringing the crab.
06:08I'm bringing the fries.
06:09Five bucks to both of you.
06:11Easy.
06:12Selfie.
06:13Yeah.
06:13Got you.
06:14You're going to have to get by the Netflix producers now.
06:16You just walked up on them.
06:17Wednesday's going to be W.
06:18Duncan.
06:19It'll be no else.
06:20No else.
06:21That's a whole force.
06:22We'll be fine.
06:22She's going to need to call you in now.
06:24All right.
06:25Go ahead.
06:26So we had a caller, and I'm asking you, because I was like, Evan, what's the personality
06:30of baseball?
06:30All my kids are different, but I love all of them, and each one has something different
06:35about themselves.
06:36But a caller called in with his chest out.
06:38We're all older than Evan.
06:39I'm younger than you will.
06:41I'm older than you will.
06:42Younger than Dibbs.
06:43But he was selling baseball in the 70s and 80s when you had three of the biggest icons
06:49calling the game.
06:50And I started getting goosebumps.
06:52Apple pie, Chevrolet, and baseball.
06:55You remember that old commercial?
06:56And I just, because Evan won't know.
06:59When did football just take off and leave baseball behind in regard to popularity?
07:06Because I remember Norman Johnson and myself, when the NBA was in a bad place, we watched
07:11the finals.
07:12Seattle against the Bullets.
07:1411.30 at night!
07:16So that tells you how NBA was.
07:18But when did, was it fantasy football?
07:21When did it take off and leave baseball?
07:23That's one of the first things that popped in my mind.
07:25Even though fantasy baseball has been around for just as long.
07:28And I'm learning that.
07:28It's been around for just as long, but it's not as fun.
07:31And it's too much.
07:32It's every day.
07:33I can't do fantasy sports every day.
07:36That's what Evan was saying.
07:37Do you know what I mean?
07:38He was going to get his draft this weekend.
07:42If you love it, great.
07:43I had a short life with fantasy baseball because it was like, you go on one vacation and I've
07:50got to call a friend and give him my password so that he can get, I'm just like, this is
07:55too much.
07:56But anyway, what would you say to that?
08:00I think it's when calendar wise, like what year?
08:03The proliferation of cable TV, I think is when it all started because it used to be you
08:08could only watch your team and you could only watch them at home if it was a sellout.
08:12Otherwise, they'd be blacked out.
08:13Yeah.
08:14Think about that.
08:15A blackout, right?
08:16And so, you know, Raider games, you couldn't see them unless they sold out to Colley.
08:19So once you got into more cable TV and then you got the Sunday night package, I think
08:25football became much more digestible because there was more of it available.
08:29And once we got that, we couldn't stop.
08:31And when did we start caring about every game?
08:34Because that's what to me.
08:35That's the key.
08:36The key is, is you won't sit down and watch the Rangers and the Twins, but you'll sit
08:42down and watch the Jags and the Titans.
08:44Right.
08:44Anyway, go ahead.
08:45I really like Mackenzie Gore.
08:46All right.
08:47This is our first question on yesterday's crossover.
08:50Again, this first spot in knockout.
08:52Get ready.
08:53On yesterday's crossover, the guys talked about the city where Willard grew up and the fact
08:58that there isn't a high school in that city.
09:01What city did Mark Willard grow up in?
09:06The first caller to the contest line with the correct answer wins.
09:08415-523-4652.
09:12First caller with the correct answer wins.
09:16Landfill.
09:16There's a hint.
09:17I was going to say.
09:18Yeah, we all know it.
09:19The word city is in air quotes.
09:21Landfill.
09:22City.
09:22Yeah.
09:23If you want to call it that.
09:24It's a big ass cul-de-sac.
09:26Yeah.
09:27It's, uh, anyways.
09:28So, yeah, that's the.
09:29Yeah.
09:29I had my chest out for the 70s, man.
09:31The 80s baseball.
09:32Tony Kubik and Joe Gargiola.
09:35Oh, my goodness.
09:35How about this week in baseball?
09:37Come on now.
09:38Come on now.
09:38The chicken.
09:39How about that?
09:40Now, Alan, on the call.
09:41No doubt.
09:42It was great.
09:42And, you know, back then you might have gotten a doubleheader on a Saturday baseball.
09:46I remember them, though, man.
09:47And people were happy about it.
09:49Right.
09:50You might get a doubleheader.
09:52Like, the players wouldn't have been like, this is awful.
09:55I got to be here all day.
09:56Yeah.
09:57They would have just, yeah, let's play two.
09:59NBC doubleheader.
10:00And then the Superstation happened.
10:02And we all got to see, uh, you know, Rafi and Horny and, uh, you know, Dale Murphy
10:07and Obergefell.
10:08And until Skip Carey absolutely drove us nuts.
10:12That's a lot of seven.
10:14Whoa.
10:15I know Skip Carey is.
10:16We had a lot of practice.
10:17Wow.
10:17Every day.
10:19Every single day.
10:20Yeah.
10:21Someone from the 510 is saying 1994 when Fox got the NFL and there was the MLB strike.
10:28Does that sound around?
10:29That sounds perfect.
10:30I mean, it's not, there's not one moment, but yeah, that's, that's, that's a big one.
10:35And around that time, that's kind of where my mind went to.
10:39It was, because for me, that was, let's see, 94.
10:43Yeah, that was, that was college.
10:44That was like early college.
10:46And that's when it felt like people started putting fantasy teams together.
10:52I know it's been going since like the 60s.
10:54Didn't Griffey still hit like 40 that year?
10:56Oh, probably.
10:57In the strike year?
10:58Yeah.
10:59Yeah.
10:59Yeah.
10:59All right.
11:00We have Drake from Roseville, who's our winner.
11:02What up, Drake?
11:03The answer to Mark Willard's city that he grew up in is Foster City.
11:12Foster, air quotes.
11:13Yeah.
11:13City.
11:14That's Foster City.
11:15All right.
11:15I had Oakland.
11:16It was Foster City.
11:17Don't, don't miss the exit because then you'll end up in Hayward.
11:20There you go.
11:20Yeah.
11:21It's actually a good call.
11:22My mom did that once.
11:23All right.
11:23We got the next question coming up in about five minutes.
11:25Yeah.
11:26I don't know.
11:27I mean, baseball has always been sort of secondary.
11:29The big question that I think I've had since I've grown up watching sports is which has
11:34been more popular?
11:36And lately it's been the NBA versus Major League Baseball.
11:40Cause I thought when I was a kid, it was more leaning towards baseball.
11:43And then honestly, I think around the time the Warriors sort of took the league by storm.
11:48It just, it wasn't even a question.
11:50It wasn't baseball was sitting in third place.
11:53You know, shout out to X Chavez.
11:55Yeah.
11:55Baseball is just kind of such a regional thing.
11:58And it's also experiential in terms of going in person.
12:01Like if you're not totally locked in on fantasy or your team, you're probably not going to
12:06watch 162.
12:07No.
12:07Like Willard will probably watch 155 Giants games because he and his family, they're that
12:12locked in.
12:13But unless you're a super duper hardcore fan, baseball is kind of, ah, you know, they've
12:18got, they got Pittsburgh tonight.
12:19No offense.
12:20On a Tuesday, you may not be totally locked in, but if it's Paul Skeens, you will be.
12:24So I think it all depends on the circumstance.
12:27But now, and I put myself, I feel like I work for the Giants because we cover the team.
12:31You guys can have fun with that.
12:32But I'm a gambler and I love the game.
12:35So I'm watching 162.
12:37You know what I mean?
12:38Like.
12:38You love everything.
12:39No, no.
12:39I just.
12:40And you watch everything.
12:41You love everything.
12:42I didn't love everything to the point where I don't understand your life.
12:44Give me this.
12:45I didn't like Steve Kerr saying, let's shorten the season.
12:50When you had to rant and everybody.
12:53I get it.
12:54But I was like, Steve, come on, I get you.
12:56This is at the end.
12:57But you weren't saying that when it was good in the hood.
13:00We talked about this yesterday.
13:02Ephraim and I talked about it on Sunday.
13:04My mind went to almost connecting the dots from what Steve Kerr is saying to the World
13:10Baseball Classic.
13:11And there's something about the domestic sports fan where we keep ending up at a spot where
13:17someone's take will be we need fewer games.
13:21I'm like.
13:22I shrivel when I hear that.
13:24Most of all, it's a non-starter.
13:26It'll even know.
13:28Like Steve will be like, I know it's not going to happen, but well, then then what's the
13:32point of crusading for it?
13:34You're right.
13:35It's not going to happen.
13:36We're going the other way.
13:37Right.
13:38More.
13:38So always more.
13:40Always more.
13:41But why?
13:42My mind just went to why would fans, because I hear it all the time in baseball, 162 is
13:48too long.
13:49I'm in love with it.
13:51Why?
13:52Why do we want, like, who is it hurting?
13:54The people on the phones now, they want the quick fix for whatever they're doing.
13:57Now baseball's being compared to that.
14:00And it will, it'll just get worse.
14:02You'll never win that.
14:03And I think they want, remember, seven innings.
14:06Oh my gosh.
14:07Get out of here.
14:08Baseball's done a great job of making the game faster paced.
14:11And so I don't know if that's going to have a ripple effect on young people or if younger
14:15people just are either in on baseball or not.
14:18But the game is shaved 30 minutes off the game time.
14:21And they did it pretty quickly without, you know, jeopardizing the actual nature of the
14:26sport.
14:26Here's the visual though, because this is, you're listening to someone right now who used
14:31to, because of the length of the sport, I used to hide a transistor radio under my
14:35pillow when I went to, when my parents made me go to bed.
14:38I believe that I took a transistor radio and stuck it underneath the pillow and listened
14:43to Giants games.
14:44And yes, I found out much later in life, they knew that I was doing that, but because parents
14:48always do.
14:48But that, that was my love of, of all things when I was at that age.
14:53But I have young sports fans in my house right now.
14:57I have to, I don't want to say twist their arm, but I have to give them a friendly nudge
15:03to turn the Giants game on.
15:05Sometimes I have to give them a friendly nudge to turn the warrior game on.
15:09But when Sunday in the fall comes around, I, I can't get them to leave the house.
15:15I can't get them to not dance when red zone is about to start.
15:21But so do with that, whatever you will, that's, that's what the young sports fan looks like
15:26right now.
15:27I mean, I think it does have to do with just the, the instant gratification of, or the,
15:32the fantasize fantasization of football.
15:36Like every time guy scores a touchdown, I get points.
15:40Uh, every time a guy gets yards, I get points.
15:43Every time my player touches the football, I get points.
15:46You're playing a video game.
15:47Yes.
15:47You're playing a video game, watching it.
15:49Whereas in baseball, and you only have to devote one day to it.
15:53You, I mean, I think that that's why each and every moment in football, it's just more
15:59important based on the way the game is played and then how it's digested by the younger generation.
16:04You also, you have access, you have, you can turn on one channel and have access to every
16:09single score.
16:11They don't, you know what I mean?
16:13You could turn on MLB extra innings or whatever it doesn't.
16:15But quick pitch is a beautiful thing.
16:16The recap is phenomenal.
16:17I love it.
16:18It's the greatest show of the whole time.
16:19It'll do better.
16:21But even at that, if you're in a fantasy league, like at the end of the day, what did all
16:26of
16:26that mean for me?
16:27Well, it means I'm ahead by seven points, but I got five more days to go until I win the
16:32week or don't.
16:32To your point about, you know, fantasy, if my guy scores, I pull out the phone and I
16:37swipe down and get the refresh and it's like, Ooh, I've got a 47% chance to win now.
16:42That was big for me.
16:43I had a four pick on underdog last night where the first three legs hit.
16:47Come on now.
16:47And then I needed a Stefan castle to get over Stefan castle, but I didn't do his points
16:53this time.
16:53Yep.
16:54So that was the last game of the night.
16:56And I need, right.
16:57See, you know, these things and I needed him to get over four and a half rebounds and I'm
17:02cooking dinner and I'm telling the, like, this is just to your point about the access.
17:07I'm like, Hey guys, turn the Clippers Spurs game on.
17:12And then of course their kids.
17:14So, Hey guys, turn the Clippers Spurs game on third time.
17:20I, can you please turn the Clippers Spurs?
17:22Okay.
17:23And then now we got to switch because we've got to go find Peacock.
17:27Dad, what's your business with Peacock?
17:29Right.
17:30This process must've took 10 minutes for us to ended up getting, getting the game on as
17:35opposed to if I needed something on an NFL Sunday, man, how many rebounds did you have?
17:41Six.
17:41That was my favorite.
17:43Chitching.
17:44We hot.
17:45You're listening to 95, seven, the game cage, the MZFM and HD one, San Francisco and Odyssey
17:49Sports station.
17:50Always live in the free Odyssey app.
17:51And now broadcasting from the laughing monk studios.
17:53Okay.
17:54Trivia question.
17:54Number two, for your chance to get the knockout on yesterday's crossover, dibs detailed
18:00his glorious high school basketball career.
18:03How many free throws did dibs make in his high school basketball career?
18:09First caller to the contest line with the correct answer wins 415-523-4652.
18:15That's 415-523-4652.
18:19First caller.
18:20It's kind of a hint in there.
18:21First caller with the correct answer wins.
18:24And I know the answer.
18:25That was a pretty good answer.
18:26That was good.
18:26I know the answer.
18:28Yeah.
18:30Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's a lot of follow-up statements that can be made, but we'll let
18:35the winner come in and then maybe I'll share more about my ignominious run.
18:39When you meet this listener, you're going to meet this listener.
18:42So you got a list of things.
18:43What else do you have on your list you have for us?
18:45I consider myself a P1 at the station.
18:47I support.
18:48But Fridays, I get swayed a little bit because I'm at the cafeteria.
18:51You guys didn't tell me you had Molly on.
18:54The boss sends the email about last week, so I'm going to go listen to it in the car
18:58on the way home.
18:59But how was the Hall of Fame?
19:00First of all, he just appeared.
19:02It was the greatest thing ever.
19:04Yeah.
19:04That is good.
19:04I love you so much, man.
19:05Didn't it feel like he walked out of the wall?
19:07Well, I looked at your face and his face was like half smile, half jaw open.
19:11So I'm like, what?
19:12And I looked to my right and there's the man just sashaying up, upper deck at splash.
19:17And I had told Dibs about three hours earlier, I'm like, there's a shot.
19:23Okay.
19:23This may or may not.
19:25And you just leave it loose.
19:27And we had kind of said, like, you know where we'll be.
19:29And, you know, if it doesn't fit in your life, it doesn't fit in your life.
19:34I like that.
19:35And if it does, that'd be awesome.
19:36And, you know, whenever is great.
19:39That is great.
19:39And then I just, I think we kind of forgot about it and Mark Spears had stopped by and
19:43we got after five o'clock and then.
19:46Oh, so he was a five o'clock hour.
19:47Man, he must have been like, it's kind of, you would figure the Secret Service always knows
19:53the back entrance to a place.
19:55Mully got one of those.
19:56All right.
19:57Because I'm like, you're not.
19:58He appeared.
19:59I don't know how the hell you, how'd you just start there?
20:01How'd you get there?
20:02They have the main staircase, you know, from the bar to the upper deck.
20:05He didn't go that way.
20:06All of a sudden he appeared in like the back elevator.
20:08Hall of Famer treatment, Evan.
20:09It's exactly what it was.
20:11There are a few ways to get to the gatehouse.
20:13Wow.
20:13And only a few people have the map.
20:15It sounds like Chris Mullen is one of them.
20:16And he was terrific as always.
20:18And so, you know, just chopping up with Mully is always fun.
20:21Yeah.
20:21And the last thing I was coming for you, he texted me early.
20:24Oh, the Porzingis thing?
20:26He doesn't need, he can score 50.
20:28I already know a Porzingis can ball.
20:30And he goes, what if Kaminga scored 27 against such and such?
20:33And I'm on record on file is saying that before Kaminga even put on a
20:38hockey uniform, I told Matt Steinmetz, Kaminga don't need to do anything to
20:42prove to me I know he's got the goods.
20:44So I wasn't hating on the 30.
20:46It was, I know Kaminga can get 30.
20:48I mean, Porzingis can get 30.
20:50Understood.
20:50And I want to speak for me since I was just at the dog park with my phone
20:54having fun because I'm like, I pulled up and you guys were talking about it.
21:00And I'm like, I'm going to, I'm going to hit my guy with this because the day
21:05after Kaminga scored 27 against the Wizards, I hated it.
21:08You came in here and had to remind everyone 38 times that you weren't saying I told you
21:15so.
21:16You're my guy.
21:16Which was completely your way of saying I told you so.
21:20See that.
21:20And so I was like, wait a minute.
21:22Now your line today was miss me with 30 against the Wizards.
21:27Do it against the Knicks.
21:27I go, you didn't do miss me with 27 against the Wizards when JK did it.
21:32Oh, you guys are so bad.
21:32So that had nothing to do with Jonathan and nothing to do with Kristaps.
21:36That had nothing to do with you.
21:36No, Porzingis.
21:37Your sound was different.
21:40One person's 30 against Washington was not another person's 30 against Washington.
21:45So it stemmed from the morning roast poll question of the day.
21:49Oh, this hurt my soul.
21:50I mean, come on.
21:51So it was, the question was, which was more impressive?
21:53Oh, this hurt my soul.
21:54This was today?
21:54This was today.
21:55Which one was more impressive?
21:57Steve Kerr's 600th all-time win as a head coach or Porzingis scoring 30 against the Wizards.
22:05And give them the results.
22:06And there were over 400 votes when we got in, and it was 57% to Porzingis scoring 30 points.
22:13I don't even know who you people are anymore.
22:15Okay, hold on.
22:15That hurt.
22:16I think it's important to reread the wording of this.
22:20Because how did you just say it?
22:22Which one was more impressive, right?
22:23Which one was more impressive?
22:24What I'm reading on YouTube is, which is the bigger deal from last night?
22:31I mean, I took it the same way.
22:32Yeah, I think that's the same way.
22:34No, I do think Kristaps is the bigger deal.
22:37Because Steve's is like an inevitable, that's a number.
22:41600 versus 599.
22:43Okay, so what if I'm real quick.
22:44That does nothing about my opinion of Steve Kerr.
22:46Is it the 30 points?
22:48Or like Evan said, the amount of minutes Porzingis played?
22:51Three stops.
22:51Because to me, it's how many minutes he played.
22:53I know he can score 30.
22:55If he starts stacking games with health.
22:58Well, that's where I'm going.
22:59Because this was not his first impressive game.
23:02I thought even in the bad game against Minnesota last week, he looked good.
23:05I've seen what I needed to see, yes.
23:06Like, I would argue, we're starting to get pretty interested in whether or not the Warriors
23:12should want him back next year, aren't we?
23:14I asked Evan, which one are you more concerned with?
23:16Him remaining upright or Steph coming back so we can get both of them together?
23:20My answer was, I'm more concerned about the chef now.
23:24I'm not concerned about that.
23:26I think when the time is right, when they need to boogie, as Mark says, it's time to boogie.
23:3117 left, Chris Mullen.
23:33Yeah, that's fine.
23:34So if Steph can play seven of those and be ready for the play-in, or even five of those,
23:38I have no doubt that those two are going to be peanut butter and jelly.
23:42Chris Stapps and Steph playing together.
23:44I don't need to really see that much of it personally.
23:46I just want to see them both at some point.
23:48Maybe you can, I don't know, go on a little play-in on that.
23:52It feels like Steph's going to play here in about a week and a half, doesn't it?
23:56Man, I haven't felt that way for a while.
23:58I know, I know, I know.
24:00But you can get how I'm a little, the trepidation is like, until I see it.
24:04I get what you're saying in the moment.
24:06I get what Dibbs is saying about the bigger picture.
24:09Steph's runner's knee is not going to be the end of him.
24:12The Chris Stapps thing.
24:13Okay, well.
24:14It looks like he's got a handle on it.
24:17Right.
24:17I mean, they're both unpredictable.
24:19Until it doesn't.
24:19You know, I just.
24:21And that will hurt either way with the, man, you know, I wasn't feeling well.
24:25Because we can taste it now.
24:26And it's like, ooh.
24:27I'm just locked in on like, yeah, he looks good.
24:31I'm not saying he doesn't.
24:32And he doesn't have his wind yet.
24:34You can see some possessions where he still is kind of laboring.
24:37But for me, it's not even about the 30 points.
24:39It's about the fact that he was able to play basketball.
24:41So 30 is great.
24:43If he was 3 of 17 and you still won or you lost, whatever, I just want to see him
24:48put
24:49the uniform on and play basketball.
24:51Beyond that, I kind of want him to struggle a little bit because maybe then you can re-sign
24:56him.
24:57There's going to be a sweet spot where he's healthy-ish.
25:00He's showing flashes of the old Chris Stapps and that price falls in the spot.
25:04Maybe you can keep him.
25:05I mean, the other reason it was a huge deal is he was another one of the legs on my
25:09pick
25:10for him.
25:10What did you have him?
25:11Oh, higher than 16 and a half.
25:13Book it.
25:14Easy.
25:15Easy.
25:15No, but as far as what you're saying, though, don't you think the health in and of itself
25:21is going to keep the price in a good spot?
25:23And if the Warriors and Rick Celebrini are the ones who sort of help him get his flow,
25:29he's not going to want to leave.
25:31I feel.
25:32Probably.
25:32And again, it depends on what that number is.
25:35I don't know how badly he needs to make a ton of money for the ego or for the pocketbook.
25:39He's making 30, almost 31 this year, a million.
25:42So he's probably doing okay.
25:44But that was one thing I was thinking about earlier today on Bart is if he does feel good
25:49here health-wise, if he feels like the Warriors are giving him what he needs medically to feel
25:55better and get better, that's more important than any amount of money, I think.
25:58No doubt.
25:59All right.
25:59Career earnings real quick.
26:01Yeah.
26:01What do you think?
26:02$1.70?
26:03$1.70.
26:04I'm going to say it's $1.90.
26:06$1.90?
26:07I'm going to go over $200, like $2.10.
26:10$235.
26:11Damn.
26:12That's a quarter of a bill.
26:14Wow.
26:15$235.
26:16We're TFNs.
26:17He's looking at Trent Williams like that's all you made.
26:20You know what a TFN is.
26:22TFN.
26:23Tackle for naught?
26:23Time for dangling numbers.
26:25Tall for nothing.
26:26Oh, tall for nothing.
26:26Oh, tall for nothing.
26:27200 and...
26:28Wow.
26:29Well, he ain't tall for nothing.
26:29He's tall for something.
26:31That's the CFS.
26:33That's Olivia Ryu from Florida.
26:357'9".
26:36Yeah.
26:38All right, guys.
26:38Coming up next on the game, Will and Dibbs.
26:40Keep it locked right here.
26:41Steve Kern, 15 minutes.
