SportsTranscript
00:00My former colleague. Brody, love Brody Brazil.
00:05And be careful. Yeah, I will be.
00:07And it's got nothing to do with Brody Brazil, but he's the man.
00:10One of the things I was thinking about was
00:13and you kind of did it yesterday, too, and I wanted to knock you out.
00:16Oh, this these contrived
00:21synthetic
00:25attempts at creating excitement.
00:29People see through it.
00:31What are you people see through it?
00:33You need help.
00:34I'm serious, man. Wow.
00:38You're a cold dude, man.
00:40This is the last one, Stani.
00:42They've been around.
00:43How about the three Pete was in the town?
00:45How about this for a provocative statement to start us on a Friday?
00:48Yeah, this may be the the A's Giants.
00:53Maybe the only rivalry that was bigger
00:57before they ever played each other.
01:01You got to explain that to the slow.
01:03I'm telling you, there's no rivalry right now.
01:05There was more of a rivalry when the Giants were in the National League.
01:08The A's were in the American League.
01:10The A's were doing pretty well.
01:12The Giants fans were envious of the success.
01:15They never played.
01:16But there was a fierce loyalty to those teams.
01:19Unlike there is today and unlike the way people care today.
01:25Well, they did play on the biggest stage, Stani, when both were stellar.
01:28The 1989 World Series, right?
01:30I know it was hard by that point.
01:31And that was it.
01:33That's it.
01:33Well, interleague play came in 97 and the rivalry died.
01:37But what about the logistics, Stani?
01:39It's the town.
01:40It's the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, Oakland.
01:43They had to stop the Raider Niners before the Raiders moved.
01:46So logistics is a rivalry, man.
01:49It's I don't want to go gang warfare, but it is.
01:52It's territorial, Stani.
01:54Come on. And now it's going away.
01:56And I hate that you're not going to be in the building tomorrow.
01:59Evan's there.
02:00You're not. On his birthday.
02:01You're not. I'll be in North Carolina.
02:02I'll talk. You're leaving Sunday.
02:04You're leaving Sunday.
02:06Oh, it's actually Saturday, so I'm out.
02:09Come on, man.
02:10And oh, by the way, who the hell are you to RSVP maybe?
02:16It's yes or no.
02:17Evan sent out a RSVP.
02:19Somehow I got a hold of it.
02:22Yes. No. Yes.
02:23No. Yeah. You know, maybe make a decision.
02:28Three choices. You got a point.
02:31You don't put maybe on the invite.
02:34I didn't know maybe was an option.
02:36It was, of course, it was an option.
02:38I didn't make the app.
02:40You only responded to something.
02:41Maybe I didn't know if you're not going to go.
02:44We'll see. I'm golfing tomorrow.
02:46You know, sometimes after golf, I'm tired.
02:48Well, parties at night can fatigue you sometimes with the right kind of.
02:53With the right kind of golf.
02:55Well, just tell us this is all shtick that you understand.
02:58This is the last I saw my last Oakland A's game against the Dodgers.
03:03Evan and Ken.
03:04But Stani, you have no feeling of melancholy or no
03:08just reflection of back or what the Coliseum meant in the A's
03:11and that World Series.
03:12In fact, that's wow.
03:14In fact, what if I told you that I've created a game?
03:19I'm getting a game.
03:21What would this game be called?
03:23I'll tell you in a minute.
03:24And you're more than welcome to play.
03:26And so are our listeners.
03:29And the game's called
03:31good or gimmick.
03:35All right, good.
03:36I want to know how long you've been on this.
03:37OK, good or gimmick?
03:41Oh, that's right.
03:42We got something more important.
03:43Oh, boy.
03:44No, this is a legitimate game.
03:46No, I'm mad at you.
03:48In exactly pretty much one hour in one hour, this is big.
03:54We're going to be giving away two tickets.
03:57To the Warriors Mavericks game on November 12th.
04:02Wow. Clay Thompson's return, man.
04:07You know what time we're doing it, go 11, 11, 11, 11, look at him.
04:11So if you're listening at 11, 11, you got a shot.
04:16Next question.
04:18Is that the one we're going to use?
04:19Next question.
04:20When we use the iconic Clay Thompson.
04:24Next question.
04:25Next question.
04:26Around 11, 11.
04:29You're going to call.
04:31Is it going to be the regular line or contest line?
04:34The contest line, which we'll give out then.
04:36And then we'll give out that number then.
04:38Clay Thompson.
04:40So if you want a two tickets to see the Dallas Mavericks
04:45wreck house at Chase Center.
04:48He's got a chance to go back to the finals.
04:50Clay, I'm serious.
04:52Yeah, I think I'm a maybe for that night.
04:55I just can't get over you.
04:57What's up Otis Byrd III saying?
04:59Dude, YouTube is almost better than you, man.
05:02It's a fraternity.
05:04Say hello.
05:05So it's exclusive to men?
05:08No. See?
05:11These little things you got to work on.
05:13My daughter's thinking about pledging.
05:14I don't know.
05:16Not that I can control it.
05:20All right. So the game.
05:21Give me the music.
05:23Take it or leave it.
05:25The what's the name?
05:26It's called Gimmick or Good.
05:30All right, here we go.
05:31Good or gimmick.
05:34Here's the first one.
05:36And I love him.
05:38I love him.
05:40The Bay Bridge trophy.
05:44The Bay Bridge trophy.
05:47Tell me what I can go.
05:48Is that good or is that a gimmick?
05:52Guru, it is.
05:54And I love you, big Brazil.
05:55It's a gimmick, Stiney.
05:57It is a gimmick.
05:58I appreciate the thought, but it is a gimmick because I mean,
06:02he probably wasn't even born when they started.
06:04But yes, I don't think that thing ever hit.
06:06But I'm at Brody.
06:08I love you, baby.
06:10Born out of a wonderful idea from Brody, Brazil,
06:14instituted in twenty eighteen.
06:17The Bay Bridge trophy, though.
06:21Goes as a gimmick.
06:22Size matters.
06:23We could be wrong, though, starting to people that tell us,
06:27you know what creates excitement in sports?
06:29Close game excitement in sports.
06:34I'm a deal one.
06:36Yeah. All right.
06:38Eight, eight, eight, nine, five, seven, nine, five, seven, zero.
06:41If you have a you're going to see what I'm kind of getting at here.
06:45All right, Guru.
06:48Gimmick or good?
06:52The Emirates Cup.
06:55The Emirates Cup, otherwise known as
06:58the in-season tournament.
07:02Gimmick or good?
07:03It's good. I hate it on it.
07:05That is incorrect.
07:06I hate it on it early.
07:08And I'm looking at the Warriors draw as I talked about it to you and Evan
07:11yesterday is pretty tough with Denver, Dallas and and New Orleans.
07:15But I like it.
07:16That's incorrect. I do like it's tiny.
07:19I run the game and it's a gimmick.
07:22It is a part of the schedule.
07:24But is there is part of the schedule.
07:27So you like the two teams play eighty three games.
07:31Yeah. You like the two teams play a game.
07:35But you cannot locate the box score anywhere in game.
07:39Hello. Well, there is a member of the Golden State Warriors
07:43who played 83 games last year.
07:46Do you know who it is?
07:49Oh, it's got to be that came over.
07:51So no, no, no, no, no.
07:54It's that guy who didn't play much.
07:56Don't tell me he played.
07:57He's a backup guard that went to Indiana.
08:02That that that that he was like Wanamaker.
08:06He's oh, Cory, Cory, our guy, Cory.
08:10He's on the team.
08:11My skin cat French.
08:13Well, no, no, that ain't no.
08:15I was thinking that our guy he interviewed with this.
08:18Yeah. Who he had to fresh cut.
08:20Somebody played 83 games.
08:22Who did acquire at the deadline that they didn't make a trade?
08:26He's currently on the team.
08:29Oh, buddy, he'll go on a Friday.
08:33They have a guy.
08:35I was thinking of the guard.
08:37Cory Joseph, Cory Joseph.
08:39My wife lied to you.
08:40Oh, well, she's older.
08:44But anyway, go ahead.
08:45It's 90. You don't like it, huh?
08:47It's dumb, but it's part.
08:49I get used to it, bucko.
08:51It's part of the regular season schedule.
08:53So that's why I don't have a problem.
08:54That's why you know who won it last year.
08:57You do. You don't want to name him.
08:59Lakers good.
09:02Or gimmick.
09:04The winner of the All-Star game.
09:08Gives its league home field advantage is good, and I miss it.
09:12That is good, man.
09:13That is wrong.
09:14That's why Pete Rose and Ray Fossey got to like make it mean something.
09:18That is wrong. It's a gimmick.
09:20No, it's not. It's a gimmick.
09:22You're watching a game.
09:23Even though it's all star ish, it means something.
09:26That's why I was never good at.
09:28Like I'm standing.
09:30I'm telling you, man, if there are no stakes, I'm out.
09:34The game was at its greatest
09:36when there was just pride now at stake.
09:39Never. Fact. Never.
09:41The I think you are.
09:42If we put that on the pole, I think you we could.
09:45I don't know.
09:46I think I called the bet off for you and Evan over.
09:50What was it?
09:50Jerry Rice.
09:51I think I called it out before we left.
09:53But hey, OK, I got it.
09:54You're not going to spend any money today.
09:56Oh, boy. Here we go.
09:58I ain't balling out of boxing.
10:00No, Stiney, seriously.
10:01Well, that's what the NBA needs to do something to make the game count.
10:06And we will see Kobe Gordon Wade or things like that.
10:09Well, maybe he got his nose broke.
10:11But you know what I'm saying?
10:13Audience, where are you on these?
10:15Stakes matter.
10:17Gimmick or good.
10:20The all star game winner gives home field advantage to its lead.
10:24Oh, Evan's eight, eight, eight, nine, five, seven, nine, five, seven, zero.
10:29It's my game and it's officially a gimmick.
10:32I can't do it. A gimmick.
10:36Uh, should I keep going?
10:38Yeah, I got to know how you came up with these two.
10:41We'll talk about that later.
10:42But it's a game presser.
10:43This is how I think. Yeah.
10:45I was just I was thinking about the I love Brody Brazil,
10:49but I was thinking about that trophy.
10:53The Bay Bridge trophy.
10:55Last time you seen it. Never.
10:57Well, not in person, but I've seen images.
11:00OK, that's what I mean.
11:01Where does it go?
11:03Goes to the winning team.
11:04No, the mayor's office, I thought.
11:07No mayor would accept that.
11:08Well, the Oakland mayor's actually got some problems right now.
11:13Go ahead. It's time to give us some more.
11:14OK, uh, the NBA's play in structure.
11:21The NBA's play in situation is fabulous, man.
11:27That's what makes me like the whole thing.
11:29I'm with you on this.
11:30Like the soccer, the group.
11:31I love all that.
11:32Evan, I'm I'm looking at it like, damn, they got a tough draw.
11:37What makes you happy, bud?
11:39Damn. What makes me happy is
11:43things that seven round seven game first round series.
11:46Oh, my God. Yes.
11:48Oh, my God.
11:50I don't like change.
11:51Somebody said drinking water, Stiney gimmick.
11:58Let's see.
12:01The third wild card in baseball.
12:06The third wild card in baseball.
12:09This is scary on how different we are.
12:11You know, I'm all in.
12:13I love it.
12:14It's the only reason the Giants got action. Yeah.
12:17Oh, it's a gimmick.
12:19That also is a gimmick.
12:22So imagine how boring giant fans would be viewing.
12:25They're already bored.
12:27The third wild card has created no additional Arizona Cardinals,
12:32Arizona Diamondbacks, the Snakes last year on line one.
12:36They they use that to get to the World Series, right?
12:40And it's a gimmick.
12:41It's a gimmick.
12:42And the reason the reason it's a gimmick is because Philly's
12:46the third wild card in and of itself
12:50creates no additional excitement.
12:53I think you are just so far off that last week.
12:56Stiney to show that game with the teams that are vying for
13:00for that third wild card.
13:01And nobody bases have something to root for.
13:04You want to go back to the 80s when we used to deliver newspapers
13:08and it was four divisions and only four teams made it.
13:11And the season was over for some late July, early August.
13:15Yuck.
13:16Stiney, a sign of the times.
13:18Prince Rogers, Nelson.
13:20Give me a just saying there's a chance.
13:22Yeah, but that doesn't create excitement.
13:24Just giving a team a chance does not create excitement.
13:27What creates excitement is the Giants or the A's
13:31playing damn good baseball, winning and making the playoff.
13:36That's what gives people excitement.
13:38No, I think it gives people excitement.
13:40Stiney, I keep going to it.
13:41And I don't eat eggs.
13:42Steaks is steaks, man.
13:45If you if you make something mean something, people are going to watch.
13:49No, they're not. And that's my point.
13:51They're not watching.
13:53Just like I would watch Giants down the back for the third wild card
13:56like it was game seven.
13:57Here's my point. OK.
13:58Nobody is watching tonight's Bay Bridge series
14:02to find out who wins the trophy.
14:05Oh, that's because it's tomorrow.
14:06But yeah, so that's my point.
14:09Well, that the trophy in the playoff spot are different.
14:11I I do. Yeah, they are.
14:13I don't you cannot create something synthetic
14:19that you think is going to add excitement.
14:21But you've been only wrong.
14:23It only can be good.
14:25For example, runner on second base.
14:28Yeah. OK, this is what is it?
14:31It's a gimmick. It's good.
14:33No, it's good.
14:35That's why, because it's not because it has added excitement.
14:39It's not a gimmick.
14:40People have warmed up to it.
14:42Minds have been changed.
14:44It's something to look forward to in the 10th inning of a game.
14:47It does help move a game along a little bit
14:51because you got to strategize a little differently.
14:53I got time. It's good.
14:55If I'm going to give you hours, two and a half hours, I'm going to give you three.
14:58It works.
14:58There's nothing more sacred in sports than first base.
15:02You know, you know, you don't just get to put a like that pitching duel
15:05the other night with a sale and snail.
15:07It was incredible. Yeah.
15:08Oh, let's go to the tiff.
15:10A double off the wall that didn't happen.
15:12Let's just put an imaginary runner on second.
15:14That changes everything that we watch.
15:16It's not hard to get on base.
15:18I love it.
15:19And I think we are with me.
15:22Felix Unger.
15:23What was the other Oscar Madison?
15:26OK, I'll tell you, we are the odd couple.
15:28Forget Broussard and Parker.
15:30We are the real odd couple.
15:32Evan, runner on second base.
15:34I can't wait to hear this. Or gimmick.
15:37I actually think it's good. Yes.
15:40That hurt. Yes.
15:41I'm not trying to stay 18 innings.
15:43Get the game over with.
15:45Where are you going, Evan?
15:47It's got action.
15:49What were you going that you can't watch extra before?
15:52Before there was never a choice or an option.
15:54Well, I'll tell you what, I strike me as a type.
15:56I get back to the crib tomorrow night.
15:58Actually, pretty quickly after the game.
15:59So you guys, you let the iPhone ruin you.
16:03You're in that microwave society and the and the technology is.
16:07Oh, I can't wait.
16:09There's nothing more beautiful than an extra inning game with a runner on second.
16:13That is who I don't like it.
16:15You got to earn first base. I like it.
16:17You got to. I think it's good.
16:18I think it's good.
16:20By the way, if you guys see where I'm going with this.
16:24Feel free to create your own, because I think there's a lot of them out.
16:27We're trying to see if the network actually picks this show up.
16:30But we'll hear from the people.
16:31We're trying. Yeah, I pilot so-called McAfee.
16:34You can see, like, the
16:37question is, is it good or is it a gimmick?
16:39And so far, I've thrown out the in-season tournament.
16:42And we've disagreed on every one.
16:44What about the fact that the winner of the All-Star Game gets a field advantage?
16:48We agreed on one. Which one?
16:50Oh, the trophy. We agreed that it was a gimmick.
16:52That's true. Yeah.
16:53OK, got a couple more.
16:56If you have your own eight, eight, eight, nine, five, seven, nine, five, seven, zero.
17:02Uh, runner on second with Spadoni back there.
17:04He left. He go. Good or gimmick?
17:09Halftime interviews.
17:12That is gimmick.
17:14I just can't stand it.
17:16So let's find something for the other people to do.
17:18He's right. Dude's coaching. Depends on the sport.
17:21He's right. Oh, it depends on the sport.
17:24I think sometimes when you catch the head coaches in in the NFL
17:27or a college football hot coming off the field, that's pretty entertaining.
17:31But speaking of Depee and Summer, you know what on themselves?
17:34Because their team's not playing and they got to do that interview.
17:37Let them go get their their their wits about themselves.
17:41It is so fake and fraudulent.
17:43Like, you know, it's just forced.
17:45You have no business talking to this man or woman when they're trying to coach
17:49a win in summer down. Hey, coach, you're down 15.
17:53Did you have did you think you're going to be down 15?
17:55Get out of my face.
17:56So I go do the postgame presser.
17:58So Craig Sager.
18:00Now he's all right. He was a gimmick.
18:02No RIP to the legend.
18:04Well, the suits might have been.
18:05But yeah, sure. So great.
