01:58him in your back pocket that's all i'm saying i i have all of you he's terrified of me now we had a

02:11page about something here you go very refreshing oh boy steinie got a cookie yesterday oh man it was
02:17all good yeah i remember the show you guys did we were gone i don't remember yes i think that was
02:23the only day that you and i worked nobody else worked remember that yes i do yeah another day off what
02:29was that yeah it was just a thursday it was just a day oh boy what you guys got show dibs you were
02:40phenomenal today helping us out dave winfield and you know what oh i learned my lesson and i apologized
02:46steinie i want to apologize to you for listening to your show because what i normally do my routine is
02:52i drop off my two and a half year old at daycare and i run an errand and i get home and
02:57at 10 o'clock i open up the laptop and i put on the youtube feed because i don't get the radio
03:03reception in my house i don't have a radio in the house and so i go you know what i'm gonna jump on
03:08the tube and i'm gonna catch the opening 12 minutes and i'm gonna interact with our p1s no doubt many
03:12of whom are there from 6a to 6p and i love them all i'm not gonna name check any of them because
03:18they all know that i'm a huge fan but i get in the in the youtube uh chat and about 10 09 my guy
03:26comes at me like dan dibley what are you doing what are you doing i was just a little surprised
03:32i'm there every day steiny well i don't usually check the text right so when you check it and you
03:37see me either thank me ariana grande thank you next or leave it alone what you did today is you
03:44turned me off and so you know what i did i turned you off so whatever you guys did wow between 10 09
03:51and now i'm sure it was a good show which is kind of a lie because i texted guru about dave
03:56winfield when you were so wildly out of bounds with your danny age and you know all the rest of
04:01it dave winfield was drafted by four different leagues four not three four show me the hockey
04:08scholarship uh hello show me the montreal canadians draft it was the aba coach no that doesn't count
04:14and i said four different leagues you said four different you said three different sports leagues
04:20dibs yeah three sports and four leagues you're wrong stein mitts and you're out of line there's
04:25no chance i'm wrong you're actually 100 wrong i'm not looking at anybody no you absolutely are
04:32looking for him for backup and this is not only check but it's checkmate you i don't think so i'm
04:37gary kaskarov and uh you're bobby fisher i'm spaskey i'm bar spaskey mothballs yeah spaskey
04:44shout out to your old references that's right he hosts the morning show there yeah yeah that's a four
04:50thank you all right thanks for helping me with bluegills can we talk about everybody's favorite
04:56fish again that was great i don't i don't belly laugh often uh while i'm driving somewhere but um
05:02listen i don't even claim to be a fisherman but my son is and so i listen to whatever he says about
05:08this stuff and he likes to tell me all about it when we're out there at the lake or or whatever
05:13so on the way here when when study says to you what's your favorite fish and you said bluegill
05:19is it bluegill is it yeah it's a salmon and i'm like and i'm like i'm like it's not a salmon
05:26and and then wherever you look the youtube chat or whatever my one of my it's my favorite guru line
05:32of the week it's up the chat got me they're on me because i said it's a salmon it's a bass yeah
05:39thank you for that it's none of those things a bluegill have you ever seen a bluegill we used
05:44fish for them you did yeah you realize it's like one of the easiest things to catch in the entire world
05:50and they're they're small they could right they come to you yeah you show up with a marshmallow a
05:54piece of salami you doesn't matter what the hell you put in the water bluegill bluegill about the
05:59size of the palm of your hand and you know what kind of fish it is it's a bluegill it's just a
06:05bluegill wow it's not in anything so i could listen to the two of you talk fishing all day so it's bait
06:10mostly it's not bait they're just small little fish like a smelt i don't know what a smelt is it's
06:17really small it's like a little bigger than a minnow no they're bigger than that it's like like i said
06:22it's about the size of the palm of your hand all right yeah and they'll gather all near your line
06:26right next to the shore and they'll eat anything anything wow you catch a bluegill when you're not
06:32catching anything else willard that's what my childhood man a bluegill is like comfort food at
06:38midnight it's the tub of ice cream when you're depressed and and nothing's going right they are
06:43only eight hours on the lake and you've caught nothing you stick whatever you want in the water and
06:49get yourself a bluegill so that you tell yourself everything's gonna be okay that's what a bluegill
06:53is yeah i would have thought it had i didn't know a bluegill was a fish in and of itself so it's its
07:02own entity steiny just like you all right there it is own thing how about those warriors how about them
07:07how about brandon podjamski does anybody want to talk about him man we did the whole show what do we
07:13have here how would you guys define this what do we got uh we've got a we've got a player emerging
07:19that's what we have okay and i'll put no limits on them right now did you guys play with the number
07:25that i like blew my mind today blew my mind okay remember he got hurt in brooklyn he played one
07:31minute okay and he missed a couple games and then he's come back and everyone's doing the you know
07:36since march 18th that's when he started this 11 games and he's averaging 18 and a half points a game
07:41and all that do you know um did you know that he has more three pointers made than anyone in the
07:50whole nba that i did not know during that run because he's at 51 percent he leads the nba in
07:57three pointers in the last 11 games so ahead of luca dude i had of steph ahead of trey young
08:06brandon podjamski is the answer to that question it's pretty wild is this
08:11sustainable well why wouldn't it be now that i told stan he's on the chalkboard now
08:17but stan was like well he's the starter he's always going to be but no they know now that
08:23he's a player that's a good question the the the can he keep it up like he's not going to be a 52
08:28percent shooter but you don't need him to be that but he's already i think he's up to like 37 now for
08:34the whole year which means if you take out the early part of the year he is a 40 percent shooter
08:39i don't like i i don't know how sustainable it is but they need it they they they certainly like it
08:47but i'm i don't like i don't know how good a shooter he is his next playoff game will be his first
08:54right and i think as we talked about jimmy butler yesterday because positive i'm giving him his
09:00credit it coincides with jimmy here and i gotta be like that's been obviously a positive effect and
09:05currently played the sound two high iq guys i'm like man he he's he's making the most of it man
09:12it's more than just jimmy it's i think part of it is him getting comfortable with where he is in his
09:18career because i'm looking right now at his first 19 games this year no jimmy obviously they went 11
09:24and 8 he shot 20.6 from three man he was uh 14 of 68 in the early going he was patently bad people
09:33calling in mad right yeah mad at him and then you look at the last 11 games and you know 52 so is he
09:39is he a player that is 21 from three or 52 from three he's probably somewhere in between and stein
09:46you mentioned it 37 or so for the year now if he shoots 52 in the playoffs from three well now
09:54you got action now you can legitimately look at it and go well that guy's gonna go what five of
09:59nine from three and probably get you 20 and jimmy gets you 17 and stef gets you 30 now all of a sudden
10:05you're a dangerous team i don't think that it's fair to look at what he's done over the last 11
10:10and think yeah that's that's the bar all right i mean this has been bananas like mark said he's leading
10:16the association in threes made for the last month that's crazy and we thought it was all cute but
10:22cute in a good way oh he's taking the chargers he's putting his body on the line he's running a team
10:28that has the likes of draymond green stef curry he did that year one and now he's starting to give you
10:35some offensive firepower like this is real his footwork second to none i believe and we asked him
10:42point blank range who was your comp he said ginobili was this dude coming up and i'm just
10:48telling you willard i don't want to go too far i get jordan pool vibes of watching another guard
10:53be able to score the ball and it not be hoggish just almost like you know we needed that and he does it
11:01in the flow like his hair of the offense what what does this do for everybody on the uh warriors and
11:07their development process we talked about uh what does that do what does that do for everybody check
11:13check right we all get a lot of that i get that comment out about a lot right the warriors the
11:18warriors don't develop young players what does this guy do for that conversation man i mean i i
11:24actually look at all four guys yeah you did i you know i think moody's taking a step this year
11:29like i don't think it's that long of a period four years when a guy comes into the league and i think
11:36moody's got to where he's gotten a little quicker because he had a little more of a foundation than
11:41kaminga but pods is doing it after a year and a half or two years and let's see what happens with
11:47post but i i've always thought that it's been unfair to criticize the amount of playing time the young
11:56guys get when they found themselves on a team that was considered a championship team with three or
12:04four bona fide hall of famers you're listening to 95 7 the game kgmz fm and hd1 san francisco
12:09always live on the free odyssey app and now broadcasting from the laughing monk studios laughing
12:14monk righteously brewed in san francisco the other thing about pods is i really think like if you were
12:20to ask me what's happened with him i think he came into the year thinking that he was just gonna take
12:27the next step and that he heard the talk about we want him shooting six or seven threes and he just
12:35maybe got caught up in it a little bit and he got the the year started and he realized man this is
12:41this isn't going to be as easy as i thought you just don't take that that next step then he got hurt
12:47then he came back and butler was here and now he's he's been this player now for what do you think
12:54six or eight weeks i know the last 11 yeah he was good he was good before the injury too man he was
12:59a lot better than he was i mean it's a lot right think about his off season so first of all you got
13:04no playoff experience so you're also like he's coming up at at this transitional sort of thing
13:11and time with the warriors where people can't really figure out are we moving on to the future
13:16does steph still have something left what are we supposed to do how are we acquiring a player is
13:21there's someone to acquire and then the owner uh calls you a future all-star at summer league
13:28you're untouchable in trades allegedly you make the all rookie team and so where does that and then
13:34clay thompson leaves and so where does that put your head at the start of the year and weave in some
13:43injuries one of which put a mask on your face i don't even know what that's like you know what i mean
13:49um so i like sophomore slumps are that's a thing because it's it's a thing that's a real thing so i
13:57i get maybe what he was dealing with it at the beginning of the year and a lot of people jump ship
14:02right away and um so yeah this is this is great this is great it's great for him to work his way
14:08through this and then i i do think a lucky break comes in there as well too like he he and jimmy
14:13butler just man that they make music man no doubt yeah they make music together um somebody's saying
14:20that a bluegill is a perch that might be true i like i said i'm not the fisherman i just know it's
14:26not a like i don't know if there's a family that's not a salmon and it's not a bass it's a bluegill
14:32fair enough and yeah maybe a perch sure uh i'm not gonna argue how you feel about the spurs coming
14:38in the night i feel good i mean the spread is 16 and a half is it really yeah that's what i saw
14:43it's up to that's what i saw that earlier i mean you get into this portion of the season and i do
14:50look at last night and mark and i talked about it yesterday not only should you beat phoenix but you
14:54want to beat them in that fashion which is a netflix and chill kind of a night where jimmy butler
15:00didn't even play 20 minutes and you had all your starters not even really need to play that much and so
15:06you got up at the half you got up 20 or 22 whatever the number was and so you were able
15:11to put that thing into second gear put it into neutral and give everybody a nice rest and i do
15:17think that tonight should be a similar kind of experience where you go hard for 24 minutes and
15:23you should be up 67 to 44 and then you can just shut it down again so i feel good about this one i don't
15:31know about the 16 and a half that is a big number but the warriors right now it's gone up 17
15:36yeah fine it might climb from there but it was 15 and a half two hours ago right i saw it about
15:41an hour and a half ago and it was at 16 and a half and so you look at this time signage you remember in
15:47the association and all your years covering the warriors on the flip side brian winters dave cowens
15:53etc where it's like you know you're bad the warriors never really tanked they were just bad and there
16:00are teams that tank and there are teams that are just bad man and i do think that san antonio is more
16:05in the the former i do think that they're kind of tanking i don't know about the relative health of
16:10their young stars but they're definitely trying to like sag for flag as are many teams now they
16:18tried last night with the halftime they gave the clippers a little hey how you doing they what and
16:23what they ended up they losing by five or something 111 106 well 105 whatever it was yeah like they
16:29played a game harrison barnes had a really good night but yeah i don't know if they'll do it again i mean
16:34this is that week um where i agree all of these teams that are trying or they're almost always
16:40going to win yeah i don't know i totally agree the milwaukee thing i'm sorry down 25 i wrote that
16:46off that's different milwaukee's playing for something well and they were down 24 right oh
16:51then they called a dog they also just went on a crazy six minute 34 to three run dude look at the
16:5844 to three run went down by 25 that man but what we're talking about should be ashamed of
17:06themselves but that one hurt yeah but what we're talking about is when the memphis grizzlies play
17:11charlotte charlotte has no chance at winning that game like last night's warriors game exactly it was
17:18over three minutes into the game exactly for the next five years that was awful but i also want to
17:24know who's who's sitting who's playing i don't like friday i'm more nervous of friday in portland
17:30for their season yeah to do nothing more than make that sunday and they got some athletes but
17:36i'm just saying i don't know why i get that i don't get that vibe tonight from the spurs and maybe
17:40because they played last night right but i do think that the spurs and you look at who they actually
17:45have when you 17 and a half go ahead sorry no it's gone up it's it's gonna go up every sentence
17:50okay probably gonna cover well i don't know because if you look at san antonio and who they're
17:55actually playing like your guy stefan castle is a real nba player he's a good player harrison
18:02barnes is a guy who is gonna continue to play chris paul in year 20 is gonna be a guy who goes out
18:08there especially in a warrior revenge spot bismack biambo uh lo neal's favorite name to say
18:14back in the uh joe low and dibs days he would just throw out a bismack biambo
18:18and uh i'd laugh and joe fortenbaugh would shake his head but that was kind of the bismack
18:23biambo memory but devin vassal's a good player so the spurs aren't terrible per se so they were
18:29last time these two teams did fox fox played last night right no fox is down for the year
18:34he's down for the year he'd been out for a minute yeah you know who did play right uh sandro
18:39mamu kalashvili the guy who scored the most points in the fewest minutes in nba history
18:43is that him yeah he scored 34 in like 19 minutes about two weeks ago wow that's a great nugget that's
18:51a nuggy nug right there willard you gotta be i mean and uh julian champagne will play there it is
18:58david duke jr they're all playing no relation to the uh yeah i would have changed the former
19:03supremacist right my name if that donald duke like quack quack whatever something and let me tell you
19:09what anyhow i know it's not friday what's bugging me is this mike malone sand uh slander and all
19:15these videos of him ripping his team after said games during the year okay and it's insinuating
19:21that's why he got fired and i'm like come on we're gonna get the answer today okay ramona is on the
19:27show today oh nice and she's flying to sacramento um to be wow no doubt to go find out what the hell's
19:34going on with the denver nuggets because that's where they are tonight would you put one dollar on them
19:39or do you think i asked donnie or they do what win a playoff game yeah they'll win a game i should
19:45have said series they'll win a game series do you think they quit they're the fourth seed still
19:50which almost mike malone should get a medal i i look they still have nikola yokich uh so
19:59sure hey mark for now what if he's so upset he wants out i don't know i don't i have we'll find out
20:05i have no answers for 15 all right i have no answers to what's going on there but i'm with
20:10you that they like i do not feel like they have any chance to come out of the west let's put it
20:15that way wow and i also do think and i've totally done a full 180 or as the kids would say a full 360
20:21yes denver is now the team that i do want to play they were the team that i didn't want to play but
20:26based on how broken they seem and i know that yokich and we talked about it yesterday like nikola yokich is
20:33still a good player even though they lost their gm and their head coach it doesn't make him any less
20:37of a player but something about that construct and the losing streak and all the rest of it
20:43it does feel like there's something there's something rotten in denmark and if murray plays
20:48tonight i don't know he could oh i don't know if he's but that'll just signal to me nobody like
20:54maybe you're holding out on ok he's listed as doubt okay he's listed he's not gonna play he's not
21:00gonna play in sacramento tonight but you know where i've arrived i don't give a rip who they
21:04play it's not gonna be tough either way i don't what yes but also i i believe that they can handle
21:11any series potentially i do not give a rip who the warriors play it doesn't matter anyway they're not
21:19in a position to manipulate it they're just not not yet they might be maybe no box after many loss
21:25i believe so i think that fear has got out unless you slip up these next two games sir we put five
21:30teams into the hat i heard leaving memphis yep and ranked them one through five i still have denver
21:36fifth meaning the team if i were the warriors they're still the least team i want to play i'd
21:43rather play memphis i'd rather play all the other teams and the reason because it's like if they do
21:49you know if murray plays in the postseason i know they have a new coach but like they have a track
21:56record still against the warriors and you know if if they get any kind of bump from this coach or if
22:04mike malone was a little bit of an issue i just listen i'm not saying they can't beat them i'm just
22:09saying they're still a team that scares me because of their front line i'd also argue that if the
22:15warriors played them and they beat them that's the series that you would come out of the most
22:20exhausted i wonder what about houston like houston i don't like that's a good one too but sunday did
22:26something but what draymond has to do against yokich that's potentially leaves him yeah 15 a little bit
22:34of a vulnerable position and altitude man yeah especially if it goes six or seven games no doubt
22:39but just real quick stanny before you guys go i wonder if you think the warriors would have a better
22:44chance of beating okc in the conference finals or in the conference semi-finals if they had to beat
22:51okc which one would be more advantageous for the warriors oh semi do you ask him but semi-finals i'm
22:57asking you both yeah wear a tear i don't know yeah that's a good question because for me it's the
23:05finals because then you get into the pucker factor versus the experience of the warriors and i mean jimmy's
23:11been through it twice and the warriors have been through it six times like through the conference
23:15finals that many times yeah i that's a good question i i don't i don't know i don't know
23:20because you sleep on it okay get back to me tomorrow i was also surprised you took that long of a pause
23:26at 212 well because our team yeah this is great guy can we stump you again what kind of a fish is a
23:32bluegill apparently it's not a perch oh yeah that's what i say yeah like i'm not i'm not getting
23:39into that yeah right all right what kind of guys ready to go today what's your favorite kind of bass
23:46sea bass oh it's a good answer yeah good answer i know but my first round pick in the raiders
23:52i was with you on that i love it mahi mahi is delicious a mahi mahi burger a little have you ever done
23:58parm crusted mahi mahi no you should you know you should do that about 12 years ago though mahi mahi
24:05was over fished and it was off the market for about two years apparently it's back though but you made it
24:11through that time i did how long ago was that not 12 years you sure a little longer than i've been
24:17at 95 7 the game is well played
