00:00Now, back to Stiney and Guru on 95.7 The Game.
00:05I get around.
00:06We get around.
00:07This is time for the hip-hop divs, my bad.
00:10Brought to you by Bailarm.
00:12Rest easy, we've got you covered.
00:14Bailarm.com.
00:15That was D'Anthony Melton last night.
00:17The underground just don't stop for shows.
00:19You got a black car div, so.
00:20I don't know if I'm going to do a hip-hop knowledge, boy.
00:23Will it will catch you stealth?
00:24Like, they'll play Rejoin, and I'll be like, wait, what?
00:27You know that?
00:28Come on, boy.
00:29I'm in the car like Will knows that.
00:31He, like, they'll play 37 hip-hop songs from the late 90s to the late aughts,
00:36and he'll go like 35 for 37 at least.
00:39Cheal Wheel.
00:40We call him Cheal Wheel.
00:41Dude, your boy is sneaky over there.
00:43Crack the camera.
00:44Wait, round we go.
00:46There we go.
00:47He's stealth Willard is where he is.
00:48There we go.
00:49All right, where do we want to start?
00:51Where do we want to start?
00:52Positivity.
00:52You got to start with the lead, which is, oh, you know, he'll be re-evaluated in two weeks.
00:57Ah, it's going to probably be four.
00:59And you think about four, and it might be more than four.
01:01That's where I'm at.
01:02And honestly, and we talked about this in our show meeting, which went on and on to the break of
01:07break of dawn.
01:08Three.
01:10The idea of this year without Steph versus last year without Steph, it's got me feeling a little bit more
01:16positive.
01:17They've got more to help them.
01:19What was it?
01:20Tread Water Radio?
01:21Tread Water.
01:21Earlier.
01:21Operation Tread Water.
01:22Yeah, and that was great.
01:23I said that when I was in Hawaii.
01:24I was like, hey, it's all about trading water until Jimmy gets back, and the guys in the morning laughed
01:28at me.
01:28You led that today, like 10.03.
01:30I was like, you know what?
01:31That's awesome.
01:31I wish he wouldn't have said it, because I would have thought of it and maybe used it, but now
01:34I can't.
01:35You can steal it.
01:35You're the king of all media, and so now it's blatant theft.
01:39Don't do that to you.
01:40But, I mean.
01:40Look at the back-handed compliment.
01:42You know what?
01:43This is feeling good, man.
01:45King.
01:45No, I don't like that name.
01:47I don't like it.
01:48Well, you know what?
01:48If you start wearing pants like Festus Azealy, because those pants last night were like.
01:53Does he pick out his stuff where he has a stylist?
01:55I was going to ask you, and I forgot.
01:57His fit game is like on 11 out of 10, but I looked at those pants, and I was like,
02:02okay, Festus, you can wear them.
02:04If I showed up in those pants, anywhere, I'm getting beat out of it.
02:09If you showed up in those pants, they'd be over your head.
02:14Only Festus could pull that off.
02:16You guys are good now, right?
02:17You Festus, Willard?
02:18We've always been good.
02:19I know.
02:19I know.
02:20I'm kidding.
02:20It was a fun bit.
02:21You kidding me?
02:21What I miss?
02:22It was very fun.
02:23And your fingerprints were all over that.
02:26Don't even pretend.
02:27What I miss?
02:28I'm slayed on the fire.
02:29That's all.
02:29Stop.
02:29Don't put your hands up like Pods.
02:31That was an instigation sensation.
02:32This is the Willard and Dibs.
02:34Okay.
02:35Who was I listening to?
02:36I did a radio show with these guys.
02:38Willard and who?
02:39Willard and Dibs.
02:40It's the Willard and Dibs.
02:41It's Willard and Dibs.
02:42Go ahead.
02:43Stop with him right now.
02:45If you build an Instagram following based on going around to different places in the Bay
02:50and eating, I'm in.
02:51I don't care who you are.
02:53I'm in.
02:53You got some food for us yesterday.
02:56Deli Llama.
02:57They brought in some Italian sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, and nice crisp table.
03:02That's a great name.
03:03Yeah.
03:04Deli Llama.
03:04What we were talking about earlier in the green room, as Gu would say, is I think that
03:08you're more built now to, if Steph misses 15 games, and let's just throw that out as
03:13a random number, you're more likely to go 8-7 this year than you are 4-11 because you've
03:18got pieces.
03:19I'm feeling all that.
03:19Shout out Reese's.
03:20That's a three.
03:21But what about the fact that B.
03:23Will is now dealing with his hand?
03:25And I'm not saying the house is going to burn down.
03:28That's 40 points.
03:28It could be 50, 30 from Steph, and 20 from B.
03:31Will on a good night.
03:32Like, that bothers me.
03:33It should.
03:34And I mean, I'm not saying it's all smooth sailing, but pods stock up with every game
03:38that he keeps stacking these games where it's like, okay, pods 17, 21, whatever.
03:44Your combo bigs of Bassey and EK are interesting.
03:47I need more Bassey.
03:48The 13 minutes a game need to go up.
03:50Not because Steph is down, but he's earning, man.
03:52Don't get there, and earlier you're like, LJ Cryer, why doesn't he play more?
03:56And I do think that he now will play more, and Mark was saying earlier in the green room
04:01that Melton looks better.
04:02He looks, man, Melton's pooping.
04:05Yeah, he's healthy now.
04:06I don't know if he's ever been healthy with his time as a warrior, so he looks different
04:11to me.
04:11He said so concerns me right now with the left knee.
04:13He ain't moving well.
04:14He's not moving in a while, and they need him to step up.
04:16Like, because, again, you've got to replace the 30 points, the 30 loud points that Steph
04:21is averaging, the 10 that B-Will was averaging off the bench, your rotations get tinkered.
04:26You know, what happens with Draymond within the offense next to Yaxel?
04:29Does he become more aggressive?
04:31And Yaxel, name on the marquee, they will double you now more than they have early on, young
04:35man.
04:35Look, if you try to stay in the moment, what's the evidence we have in terms of what this
04:41team looks like without Steph?
04:43What do we have so far?
04:44I want to say one and one.
04:45No.
04:45Or it's one and two now.
04:46Well, there's that, right?
04:48You could go earlier in the year, but I mean, just, how about last night?
04:52Oh, straight to numbers.
04:53They were right there.
04:54They're right there on the road against one of the best teams in the NBA.
04:58They were right there.
05:00I'm not saying that they're going to be great.
05:02Can they tread water?
05:03I've got him missing probably in the neighborhood of about 14 basketball games.
05:07All right.
05:08Um, I don't know anything.
05:10Tim's just used 15 while you're at, yeah.
05:12We ballparked it, yeah.
05:13I think that, you know, it's right before Christmas, most likely, um, that he's going to be back.
05:19Um, and I feel like they, they kind of do road trips as a group sometimes.
05:23And so when I look at their schedule, I'm kind of going to loosely circle the, uh, the home date
05:29against Dallas on December 22nd.
05:32Let's say, let's say he's back by then.
05:35And I think that that's a conservative play.
05:37Hey, that's 14 basketball games.
05:39What if you go seven and seven?
05:41I'll take it.
05:42Okay.
05:43Like, they, I'll take seven and, uh, don't forget, there'll be a couple, uh, of those makeup dates with the
05:49cup games.
05:50Cause those get filled up with the Emirates cup games.
05:52So you, you'll probably have to add one or two names to that.
05:55And Dibbs knows this.
05:56I was rude against my team in the NBA cup.
05:58Yeah.
05:58I don't blame you.
05:59I don't need.
05:59I wanted them to win it.
06:00I know.
06:01But I don't need random trips to Vegas against other really good teams.
06:04I don't even think it's in Vegas anymore, right?
06:06So it's at, uh, Butler university this year.
06:08Right.
06:09It's Hinkle Fieldhouse.
06:10It's a plane flight.
06:11Because, uh, I don't know if you've ever been to Hinkle Fieldhouse.
06:14I actually, I actually went there.
06:16Uh, it's where Hoosiers was filmed.
06:19It's one of the most classic old school Indiana gyms.
06:22And so I love the fact that they're doing it there.
06:24That overrated movie.
06:25Gene Hackman.
06:26Incredible.
06:26The movie's not overrated, but it does have the single most cringy love scene ever.
06:31That's true.
06:31The Gene Hackman kiss is uncomfortable.
06:33And Barbara Hershey.
06:33And Gene Hackman.
06:35Rest in peace.
06:35But I want to go to sleep.
06:36I'll put on Hoosiers.
06:37Well, I'll say this.
06:38Why didn't they start there then if it was so great?
06:40Because they're having like the, the final last four.
06:43Like why was it even in Vegas?
06:44Was that a failure?
06:45No, I don't.
06:45I think that they're just trying to make it special.
06:47Okay.
06:47So they're trying to do it in an old school field house.
06:50And when the Super Bowl was in Indy, I think it was our second year as a station.
06:54I decided I'm going to walk from downtown Indy to Butler University.
06:59That's cool.
06:59And so I start walking.
07:00Wow.
07:00It was cool until I realized what North Indy's like.
07:03And your boy's like head on a swivel.
07:05My camp is going to hurt out there in Indy.
07:07I mean it.
07:08My camp.
07:08I had no idea about Indianapolis.
07:11But I eventually got there and got in and got to get on the floor.
07:15And it was pretty cool.
07:16I wonder if they got the idea from, you see it around baseball, hockey's doing games
07:20outside, Nick Woodfield, baseball, Field of Dreams, all this stuff.
07:25Like it's cool.
07:26It's cool.
07:26But I still, in the NBA Cup, without rooting ever against my favorite team, I would rather
07:32you don't have extra games, extra trips.
07:35And when you lose out of the NBA Cup, the extra game you get is usually against a crappy
07:39team.
07:40So like, I'm not too worried about that.
07:43But yes, add it in.
07:44Has a team ever hung a banner for winning the Cup?
07:46Didn't the Lakers do it?
07:48The Clippers won.
07:49No, they didn't.
07:49The Clippers hang division banners.
07:51The Lakers didn't hang a banner, did they?
07:53Well, there were jokes that they were going to do that.
07:55I think they hung a giant con.
07:57And the Knicks, they won a Cup.
07:59They won a Cup tournament.
08:00Well, the NBA Finals consisted of the two teams in the Cup last year.
08:04That's true.
08:05So the Cup gives you momentum.
08:07And so Cup game number two tomorrow against the Spurs.
08:10And you're trying to get.
08:11He was on fire, Steph.
08:12That's all.
08:13He was amazing.
08:14And we talked about it yesterday.
08:16And so it's a setback.
08:17And I wonder when he actually got hurt.
08:20Do we know if it was during the Shang-Goon tangle or, you know, if it was just on the
08:25three
08:26when he actually did get hurt?
08:27Or a couple, maybe when he drove to the rim.
08:30Who was it?
08:31Jabari Smith Jr. or Ahmed Thompson.
08:33Kind of caught a knee there.
08:34And I thought it was a thigh injury.
08:35The fans are saying it was a knee.
08:37But I thought he caught a knee to the thigh originally.
08:39And I was like, oh, man, maybe it's his thigh because he was slipping around a little bit.
08:43Have you sustained this injury, oblique tear?
08:45As I said, he's had them all.
08:47Yeah, I had the oblique.
08:49And famously, I had like a pulled pec.
08:52And Lo Neal actually kind of fixed it during the break.
08:55Oh, come on.
08:55Oh, my God, my chest hurts so bad.
08:57Dr. Lowe.
08:58And Dr. Lowe, in the break, he like pulled my arm back and he pressed with like eight
09:03of his ten good fingers.
09:05And he's just driving into me.
09:07And it actually kind of worked.
09:08He freed me up.
09:10Lo Neal.
09:11I haven't had it.
09:12I don't know.
09:12Oh, hell no.
09:13Okay.
09:14Lakers did hang a banner, though.
09:16Okay, there you go.
09:17They did.
09:17They really did.
09:19December 11, 2023.
09:20L.A. Lakers.
09:21The Los Angeles Lakers will hang a banner to honor the NBA Cup.
09:25The L.A. Lakers.
09:26The Los Angeles Lakers.
09:28Oh, my gosh.
09:28They unveiled their banner on December 18, 2023, celebrating their 7-0 run.
09:34Yeah.
09:34That's embarrassing.
09:35That already happened.
09:36A brand like the Lakers?
09:37Yeah.
09:38You can't.
09:38No, you can't do that.
09:40The NBA probably made them.
09:41Yeah.
09:41Maybe.
09:41It's possible.
09:42Yeah.
09:43All right.
09:43So, Yaxel, he moves up on the Skyler Report.
09:46Brandon Pudzinski.
09:47I thought over to your point, they were in that basketball game.
09:50It was 88-85.
09:51Then they got crazy hot from three.
09:53What if 10 in the third quarter from the three-point line?
09:55Reed Shepard, yeah, partner.
09:57Yeah, Reed Shepard.
09:57Look at that castaway.
09:59He was casting aspersions at my boy, Reed Shepard.
10:03Wow.
10:04As far as his contract versus Yaxel.
10:06I believe your comment was, Reed Shepard.
10:08Yeah, it was.
10:09Wow, wow, wow.
10:11Lovely Christy last night called him the brown pods.
10:14Oh, man.
10:14I was like, oh, my gosh.
10:16He was open.
10:16No, just because his hair.
10:18His hair.
10:19Oh, yeah.
10:20He let up the Warriors last year.
10:22He's a little guy.
10:23Yeah, he's a good player.
10:24And Jason, remember he let up the Warriors?
10:25Yeah.
10:26And he hit that one three where he didn't even dip.
10:28He didn't even bend the knees.
10:29I was like, oh, yeah, this one might be a wrap.
10:31Yeah.
10:31And then Fred Vavelik.
10:32That's the thing.
10:33Fred Vavelik really completes that basketball team.
10:35But that's where I think Steve Kerr, he didn't have Yaxel in at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
10:40By the time he re-entered the game, they were down 11.
10:43So now we're going to do the non-Yaxel minutes?
10:45The non-Yaxel.
10:45That's what we're going to do.
10:47Hey, Willard.
10:47You were right.
10:48We better.
10:49You better.
10:50You were right.
10:50You missed him 40 points.
10:51Yeah.
10:52You better.
10:53I hear you.
10:53No, but I thought last night, that's a really hard assignment.
10:59The Rockets, they're good.
11:01They're at home.
11:01They get turned up for Steph Curry.
11:04Their defense, they are so big and long and physical.
11:08Steph was on the ground three times before he got hurt.
11:10It was like, damn.
11:11Yeah, they played well.
11:12They shot the ball well.
11:13I saw your tweet.
11:14They kind of just sleptwalked through the third quarter.
11:16They came out shooting the ball well in the fourth quarter.
11:19They won a game by seven points.
11:21It's been a while since I have felt this calm about a Steph Curry relatively short-term injury.
11:30Like, I'm not saying they'll still be good, but they can play.
11:33Yeah.
11:33And I just hate not told Bonte, I wanted to see him against KD last night, obviously, Steph
11:38and the Warriors.
11:39But Friday, what we saw last year, that Friday night, Steph went berserk in San Antonio against
11:45Wimby.
11:46We had two straight games against Wimby.
11:47Remember not?
11:48And that's off the table.
11:49But you're right.
11:50They're still watchable.
11:51We got Yaxo.
11:52But I just, I feel like I had some, it's not about you, Gu.
11:55I can hear my sister.
11:56But I put all these videos of my euphoria blowing past red lights of its early Steph, its own
12:02one.
12:03And then this happens.
12:04And I feel like that's for me because I got too high, man.
12:09Oh, go ahead.
12:10No, I was just going to say, I feel good on that because we wanted to see a barometer,
12:14right?
12:14We wanted to see, okay, how good is this team?
12:16We know they've won eight in a row.
12:18So they're playing fun, a fun-branded basketball.
12:20They're doing it in different ways.
12:21Now you go on the road and four to five teams have winning records.
12:24Dallas, Memphis, San Antonio, and Houston.
12:27Let's see where the Warriors are really at.
12:29Can they come away from this at three, two, and boom, six minutes into the game.
12:32It's going to be five minutes and 35 seconds into the game.
12:35He walks straight to his locker room and that's when I go, uh-oh.
12:37It's like, oh, next time we're starting a road trip.
12:39So the assessment has to kind of be put on hold.
12:42Right.
12:43But at the same time, and I know I have to duck every time you bring up the idea of
12:48moral
12:49victories on sports radio.
12:51Yay!
12:52I won't do it.
12:53I'm not mad at the notion.
12:55That's my signing.
12:56I will tell you is that I, as a fan, I kind of got out of that basketball game what
13:01I was
13:02hoping to get out of that basketball game.
13:04And I know it's not, to me, it wasn't about a win and a loss.
13:07If you told me Steph Curry goes out and this team is still going to hang, be nice and competitive
13:13in a basketball game that they were supposed to lose by six and a half points and they lost
13:16it by seven without Steph Curry, I'm like, I'm not like happy, but I'm not, I'm chilling.
13:23Real quick, how does that change for tomorrow night?
13:25Like, well, I mean, not at all.
13:28Same thing.
13:29You just, I don't want to, like the Warriors might lose tomorrow night, but I don't want
13:33to see them get blown out.
13:34Right.
13:35And I'm not saying I'm okay with losses, but they've been dealt a little bit of a blow
13:39now.
13:40You wanted to see that this Warrior basketball team was going to be able to compete at a
13:45high level.
13:46I thought they did last night.
13:48I thought they competed at a high level.
13:50They lost.
13:50That's okay.
13:51Well, as Steve said in the post, and I was watching you guys all the way through, and
13:54you know, the fact that you were kind of white flagging it, and yet the white flag team was
14:00a plus 11 down the stretch.
14:01And I have a friend who I think had it at plus seven and a half, or maybe plus eight
14:07and a half.
14:07And, you know, so you kind of like wipe that one away, and you didn't turn it off because
14:11you're still into it.
14:13But that thing got super backdoor-y.
14:15Dude, you guys didn't notice this.
14:18We didn't really touch on it.
14:19Uh-oh.
14:20It's kind of because of Steph Curry update.
14:22But our boy Malavie Lee-Oates was out there with shorts on backwards.
14:29Wait, they were backwards?
14:30They were backwards.
14:31There's no way, B.
14:32I swear to you.
14:34Can he blame the shorts for the three-pointer that he shot?
14:37They were halfway there.
14:39Dude, he air-bought it.
14:40I swear to God.
14:42Zina Kata, she goes, yo, look at Malavie Lee-Oates' shorts.
14:47And I was like, okay, the Warriors are coming down, everybody's.
14:50That's the Ivy League education right there.
14:53Dude, the shorts are all backwards.
14:55How did I miss it?
14:56And then he air-bought the three-pointer.
14:58I was like, oh, man.
15:00And somebody tweeted at me.
15:01They go, his body is backwards.
15:03What are you talking about?
15:04Like, it was kind of funny.
15:07I'm surprised not a lot of people.
15:08Maybe we're just so caught up in a step injury.
15:11I didn't notice it.
15:12And you have a couple young ones, and I have just the one young one.
15:15And there are days where I dress her in the morning.
15:17I do mornings.
15:18My wife does evenings.
15:19And I'll get a text at, like, 345.
15:22And my wife will text me and say, she went to school with her pants on backwards today.
15:26That's happened to be.
15:27And I'll say, she's a big girl now.
15:29She's four.
15:30Like, she should handle her business.
15:32That's happened to be.
15:33Yeah, she's not an NBA player.
15:35So, I get more of a pass than Malavie, maybe.
15:38You got to search on, I swear to God.
15:40You got to ask her about it.
15:41I'm playing.
15:42Yeah.
15:42Of course we will.
15:43Oh, okay.
15:44I do.
15:45I mean.
15:46Do they do kangaroo court in the NBA locker room?
15:49They do a baseball.
15:51And you've got two rows worth of coaches.
15:53Do you have a coach who's like a uniform monitor?
15:56Like, tuck that in.
15:57Tie that shoe.
15:58Sounds like a double knot.
15:59It could be a job for Jimmy Butler.
16:01He wants to be on the coaching staff.
16:02Could be.
16:03Is he on a road trip?
16:04Check those fits.
16:05I don't know.
16:06Probably not, right?
16:07No, probably not.
16:08You're listening to 95.7 The Game.
16:10KGMZ FM and HG1 San Francisco.
16:12Great.
16:12He's happy now.
16:13And Odyssey Sports Station.
16:14And the home of the Golden State Warriors and Valkyrie's.
16:16Always live on the free Odyssey app.
16:18Coming to you live from the Laffy Mug Studios.
16:21Laffy Mug.
16:22Righteously brewed in San Francisco.
16:24So, injuries, injuries, injuries.
16:25You guys hear what Chris McCaffrey said about his Achilles tendonitis?
16:29I didn't like it all, man.
16:30What did you guys mention?
16:31He asked him you.
16:32I ain't got to talk about it.
16:33That was.
16:34I didn't like it.
16:34I don't know.
16:36Like, yeah, anything with the word Achilles in it is real scary.
16:41I mean, look, this is where we're at with Mike Evans.
16:45I don't know when he's going to be back.
16:46They're going to have to manage it.
16:48Then you cross your fingers.
16:52Look, if you're a Niner fan, if you're a Warrior fan,
16:55don't you come to expect this by now, or at least.
16:58We know this process.
17:00Like, I hate to break this to everybody.
17:02There's going to be more injuries.
17:04Like, I mean, it's November.
17:06There will be more injuries by the time we get to January.
17:10I guess to follow up on that, because I just told Guru that whatever Mike Evans gives the 49ers the
17:16rest of the way is a bonus to me.
17:18Because of me, it leads to the Niners.
17:20And what it's done to athletes here in the Bay Area alone.
17:24Do they have enough if Mike Evans can't go with a playoff game?
17:28If he can't go with a potential Super Bowl to win it all?
17:32My answer was no.
17:33And we did this yesterday.
17:34We went round and round.
17:36Yeah, and I like the Keenan Allen signing.
17:38But I think that what Mike Evans gives you and Greg Cosell yesterday, mop mop, talking about him as a
17:44boundary X.
17:45And I was like, well, can Keenan Allen kind of do what Mike does?
17:48And he goes, no, not at all.
17:50They're not the same player.
17:51Not by a mile.
17:52Next question.
17:53And I was like, okay, Greg.
17:54I'm not saying that Keenan can be that, but are they similar or whatnot?
17:58But without Mike Evans, I do think that you are in real trouble.
18:02I did a little bit of a dive yesterday into the passing defenses the Niners have faced this year.
18:07The one time they faced a good passing defense, which was Seattle, Mike Evans was awesome.
18:13Right.
18:14And so, like, the Raiders and Dallas, you don't need Mike Evans.
18:18But you go to Mexico City to face Minnesota, number one against the pass.
18:22We'll see if you can get by without Mike if he doesn't play.
18:24That's what I was trying to tell you, Will, because you asked me.
18:27Remember you said, I said they can't win it like dibs.
18:29You were like, they might can't.
18:30How many teams are that they need to beat?
18:32I don't know that they need to beat Minnesota and Seattle.
18:34We'll see if those teams can get there.
18:36They might have to beat Detroit or Chicago.
18:39Well, I think they can move the ball against those teams.
18:41Yeah, I'm with you.
18:42Especially Detroit.
18:43But, yeah.
18:43Yeah.
18:44I'm with you there.
18:44One other conversation we're having because it is Cowboys week.
18:48And maybe I'm just not into it.
18:50Well, I said it to you.
18:50This was a good Cowboy.
18:51You like the Cowboy.
18:52Yes, yes.
18:52Is there some sizzle that's just been lost?
18:55Is it because of the Cowboys?
18:57Maybe we're caught up in the Warriors.
18:59Maybe we're coming off this Raider game where everybody's talking about the fights
19:02and not the actual game.
19:03Like, what is it about Cowboys Niners that's just not hitting the audience?
19:07I don't know.
19:08I haven't been here four hours every single day.
19:10I said the ownage of Dallas.
19:11The Niners have owned them.
19:12And I think a lot of them, I can't speak for everyone,
19:15they think this is a walk in the park.
19:16But you played the highlight of the playoff game.
19:18You were there, was it four or five years ago,
19:20where that game was in the balance?
19:22It was.
19:22If Jack had half a clue about how to execute, the Niners might lose that.
19:26For me, the sizzle is lost, not totally lost, but it's lessened based on history
19:32because I'm born in the 60s and my first ever game was the first game against Dallas
19:37when they won 45-14.
19:38They went on to win the Super Bowl.
19:40And so I was born and raised in the we hate them because they're better than us era.
19:44And these whippersnappers back there who are late 20s, early 30s,
19:49like Dallas hasn't even been a threat.
19:51Even that playoff game at Levi's where Tony Pollard, they were rolling.
19:55And Jimmy Ward had that hip drop tackle.
19:57He leaves the game.
19:5819-12.
19:59That game was in the balance.
20:00That was a very physical football game.
20:03When's the last time the Dallas Cowboys beat the 49ers?
20:062021.
20:07It was a regular season game at Dallas.
20:09And I forgot who your backup was.
20:11It might have been Nick Mullins or something.
20:13Nick Mullins.
20:15He's won five in a row, including the playoffs in regular season,
20:18but that was the last one.
20:192020.
20:202020.
20:2241-33.
20:23And they both were, I think, 5-8 at the time.
20:26So, like, that was not a high-voltage game.
20:29Dallas was 5-9 at the end of it.
20:31Niners were 5-9.
20:31But I believe that's it.
20:32Willard owned it.
20:33Nick Mullins will play a quarterback.
20:34It's a piece of it.
20:35I get why a 30- or a 35-year-old 49er fan is going to look at this
20:39and be like, this is just, it's another Sunday
20:41and it's another football game.
20:43I know the group and the age we are in this room,
20:46we're never going to let that thing die.
20:48It was the Super Bowl before the Super Bowl.
20:51All the time, the energy is way, way higher going against this team.
20:55This was the football team I grew up hating.
20:57Plumber shirt.
20:58And Dallas.
21:00Absolutely, unequivocally, without a doubt, the Seattle Seahawks.
21:02She never even thought of the Seattle Seahawks more than a decade ago.
21:06So, yeah, like, maybe it's different for, you know, generationally,
21:12and that's fine.
21:13But, I mean, to the point, the other point you guys are making,
21:16this is a dangerous football game.
21:19Yeah.
21:20It's Thursday, so now we really need to stop letting you call this a bye.
21:24And he just mentioned the report of the DBs.
21:28Well, they walked, apparently they went through a walkthrough,
21:31and then before the open period of practice, they went back inside.
21:34But Renardo greeted Diablo Lenore.
21:36Did not practice.
21:37They walked through.
21:37Jennifer Lee Chan, Nick Wagner.
21:39But that's a big, that's a game changer if they were not to play.
21:42You know what I mean?
21:42Oh, big time.
21:43Absolutely.
21:44I mean, it ended up the shot.
21:45It was in a blue non-contact jersey.
21:47So then, you may have to promote Jack Jones again.
21:51Yep.
21:51But Ephesians Priceock will be on there as well.
21:55There you go.
21:55Today is Raheem Morris' day to speak.
21:57Yep.
21:58So we will get info soon.
22:00I'm sure that's question number one when he talks about what's going on
22:04in the defensive backfield.
22:05But for sure, even if they play, doesn't mean they're going to make it
22:09through the game.
22:10This is like, again.
22:12C.D. Lamb is on the heater, man.
22:14How many times in life have you looked at Vegas and been like,
22:17what are you thinking?
22:18And then the game gets played.
22:20My whole life, Mark.
22:21Exactly.
22:21Atlanta on line one.
22:23I won't let that one go.
22:24I told you back in May that that was a loss.
22:26Yeah, we are.
22:27That's our guru.
22:27That was a schedule loss.
22:28I'm tired of him.
22:29He keeps bringing up the Atlantic game.
22:31Everybody going into that week, they're probably going to lose the
22:33Atlantic game with all the injuries at the wide receiver position.
22:37Short week.
22:37Defense is on the field the entire second half.
22:39But we didn't see three.
22:40And I'll say this to that.
22:42That first quarter, you guys wouldn't have called me like,
22:44I told you so, because the Niners were moving.
22:47McCaffrey looked like he was 21.
22:49Nice.
22:49They were going in to kill him.
22:51So, yeah, that stuff happened.
22:53So, I hear what you're saying.
22:55You think this is going to be a good game.
22:56I think it's going to be a good game.
22:57This is a dangerous game.
22:59Well, I'll tell you what.
22:59If you don't get home at the front, like what we saw with the Raiders,
23:03then it'll be a dangerous game.
23:05So, that's what I'm really watching.
23:06Like, Defoe and company and Bosa get after it.
23:09Yeah, we did the whole thing.
23:10And I didn't go through all the games, but I looked at schedule spots that I
23:14thought were dangerous.
23:15And this was one.
23:16But it was because I thought Dallas was better.
23:18And so, this game, you're on the road at Dallas.
23:21And you're, I think it's a little bit of a schedule trap in that you go to
23:25Mexico and you've got Minnesota.
23:27So, this one's a little bit of a trappy spot.
23:29But I did all that under the premise that Dallas was better.
23:33But now you have these Niner injuries.
23:34So, I don't know what to think.
23:35And that's a desperate team.
23:36Yeah.
23:37I just think the offense is going to need to be on point.
23:40Like, they might need to score 35.
23:43Like, there's a chance this game has a little, I don't think as much.
23:46But remember that Niner-Bear game last year?
23:48Oh, it was one of the greatest.
23:50Whoever touches the ball scores.
23:52Wow, Will.
23:52This could be one of those.
23:54I don't know if it's quite at that level.
23:56That was absolutely excessive and didn't party throw a pick six on the first
23:59play of the game or something like that.
24:00It was a great football game.
24:05So, you're saying my guy, Corliss Waitman, shouldn't bother getting on the
24:08plane?
24:08We can leave him home.
24:09My favorite punter?
24:10Yeah.
24:10Okay.
24:11He's a good punter.
24:11I do like him.
24:12He's been great.
24:13Let's do a prop bet.
24:14Niner punts versus Niner sacks.
24:17Wow.
24:18Against the Cowboys.
24:19That's a great.
24:20That's a great.
24:20What do you like?
24:21You said it at two and a half?
24:22I'm taking the sacks.
24:23Which one's bigger?
24:24I'm taking the sacks.
24:25What's bigger?
24:26Do the Niners get more sacks?
24:27Yes, they do.
24:29Dak's going to bumble his way into at least one or two because that's what he does.
24:32Everybody's been sacking them.
24:34I'm going to go sacks greater than punts.
24:37I'm with you.
24:38Yeah.
24:38Oh.
24:39I think it's a push.
24:402-2.
24:413-3.
24:43Wow.
24:44If the Niners punt three times, they lose.
24:45Well, they get about 11 possessions, right?
24:48Maybe.
24:48And I'm going to need 10 scores.
24:50Seriously.
24:51And Eddie P kicked the ball between those two.
24:53Oh, Eddie P.
24:54Possibly.
24:55Oh, Eddie P.
24:56He didn't miss last week.
24:57No, he didn't.
24:58He still, does he ever try field goals, though?
25:00They're so good in the red zone, we're just asking him to make the extra points.
25:04Speaking of punters, my guy, Big Dog City, ran into Marquette King in the parking lot
25:09last Sunday.
25:09The King is right?
25:10He's got dreads now.
25:11He's got my blonde dreads here.
25:13I got a picture of him on the game on my own stage.
25:14We used to have him on 95.7 at a game all day long.
25:17He was the best.
25:18He felt like he was blood-balled.
25:20Well, I think maybe his personality might have been too big for being a punter.
25:25All right.
25:26You know, it's one thing if you're Jaxel Enderborg and you're going at Luka, okay, you're a lottery
25:31pick and you're phenomenal.
25:32He was the punter and he'd have a big punt and he'd like ride the bike or he'd ride the
25:37pony or whatever.
25:37I'm sorry.
25:38The biggest name in sports media used to do what in the NFL?
25:42He used to punt.
25:44Wow.
25:44Yeah.
25:45McAfee.
25:49It's funny that some people turn it into 65 million a year.
25:53Yeah.
25:54And that's incredible.
25:54The king of local media saw the king of Raider punting.
25:58It was a meeting of kings.
25:59I didn't see him.
26:00Big dogs did.
26:01He hates the king.
26:02I know he does.
26:04It's disrespectful to the Gary Ratniches and the Tom Tobert's and the Dan Dibley's who's
26:09been in the business for 30 years.
26:10He let us know at the summit.
26:12He let us know at the summit.
26:13Two words, court jester.
26:16I don't like tea.
26:17There you go.
26:18I'm not mad at it.
26:19I'm trying to have a 30 year run.
26:21Let's be nice.
26:22Yeah.
26:22You need to with all those young kids now.
26:26Things are high these days.
26:28Trader Joe's, Whole Foods.
26:29The puck is hot.
26:30Yeah.
26:30Steve Kerr coming up.
26:31What time?
26:32Well, TBD because they are in a flight delay.
26:35So they're in a holding pattern and so are we.
26:38But I would expect my best guess, probably in the neighborhood of four o'clock.
26:41When he said, I'm concerned it's high.
26:43I was like, oh, this is something.
26:45Well, it's also.
26:45He kept it real.
26:46If Steph Curry like breaks a fingernail, the concern is high.
26:50That's Steph Curry.
26:51What else?
26:52Nothing else coming up?
26:53That's it.
26:53That's all we need and that's all we got.
26:55Houston to San Antonio?
26:57Like, dude, drive.
26:58It's a three hour drive.
26:59Three hour drive.
27:00Yep.
27:01Yep.
27:01No doubt.
27:02All right.
27:02Soft.
27:03Cowboys, Niners, Steve, Curry coming up.
27:05We'll learn the divs next here on 9570.
27:07He cannot be that guy.
