No. 121: Season's Greetings for all, 49ers high expectations, Farhan paid to be a henchman, and more.

No.120: 49ers will always rule Bay Area sports, is Las Vegas a better convention town than San Francisco? And more.

02.04.2019
No.118: Worst Super Bowl ever? Brady isn’t the GOAT with many Bay Area sports fans, commercials, Cousins, corn syrup and more.
So, what did you think? Was the Super Bowl OK or was it one of the worst of all time? The answer is easy for Sal and Steiny, and they’ll tell you about it in Podcast 118. The boys also...
01.11.2019
No.117: Winter break, Warriors ready for Cousins return, Oracle Park
Sal Castaneda and Matt Steinmetz are putting the band back together. Or something like that. After a few months off, Sal and Steiny are back at it, talking about Bay Area sports and other stuff. The Warriors are set to...
07.26.2018
No. 116: Football popularity in the Bay and talking Greg Papa
Slug-life has been great for Sal and Steiny, but it’s time to jump back into doing podcasts. Great place to start would be the NFL, and more specifically the 49ers and Raiders. Yes, football’s popularity seems to be waning but...
04.13.2018
No. 115: Serious problem for 49ers, Warriors playoffs, Kaepernick workout.
It's time for the Warriors to start the playoffs, so no doubt Sal and Steiny will get into it. But first they address the situation with Reuben Foster, who was charged with felony domestic violence this week. The 49ers have...

No. 114: Stephen Curry’s injury; the upcoming Giants’ season; where is Warm Springs?

No. 113: KTVU sports director Mark Ibanez tells some great stories of his nearly 40 years covering Bay Area sports.

01.10.2018
No. 112: John Gruden returns to Raiders; Draymond Green’s complaining; San Francisco a dump
It’s a new year and Sal and Steiny are back. Not quite rebranded but back, you know? All right, so Steiny just went over to Sal’s house and they decided to do one. The 49ers finished the year on an...
11.14.2017
No. 111: 49ers get first win of the season; 49ers move needle but Raiders don’t; greatness of the Warriors
The boys are back and this week they’re talking about what else? The 49ers getting their first win of the season — against the New York Giants on Sunday. While there are some 49ers fans lamenting the victory — because...
10.25.2017
No. 110: Sal And Steiny aren't 9 to 5 guys, questions arise about Marshawn, Bump out shots
After a short break the fellas are back talking about how they can't see themselves as 9 to 5 guys, how the 49ers didn't tank quite enough last time, and why some suggest Raiders coaching staff is afraid of Marshawn...
10.03.2017
No. 109: The passing of Tom Petty; the Warriors' season begins; traffic and television
Sal and Steiny try to make the best of this podcast, considering there are some sobering things that are happening around the country and world. The death of Tom Petty was a stunner for the boys. Petty was just 66...
09.11.2017
No. 108: Opening week for 49ers, Raiders and NFL; talking Raiders vs. 49ers; the Levi's Stadium debacle
The NFL season is upon us and it was very different starts for the 49ers and Raiders. As in, 49ers ... awful; Raiders ... really good. The Raiders played a terrific game on the road, controlling from start to finish...
08.21.2017
No. 107: The total eclipse of the sun, 49ers' and Raiders' preseason, Giants eliminated, a pet lizard
Not that the boys get political on their podcast but they did have to re-address the whole Steve Bannon firing/resignation in this episode. Steinmetz wasn't happy about the speculation that Bannon would be let go without a lot of details,...
08.16.2017
No. 106: the news media and sports media; Cal thinking of selling beer
Sal and Steiny are media guys. Castaneda is a news reporter/anchor and Steinmetz is in sports media. On this episode of Sal and Steiny, they discuss the media and their role in sports and politics. When is it too soon...
08.08.2017
No. 105: The Giants hit new lows, Steph plays pro golf and exceeds expectations, does he have an advantage others wouldn't have because he's Steph?
The boys are back in the swing of things, but the same can't be said about the San Francisco Giants. Since the All-Star break they're the worst team in baseball. Here's the worst part: They won't get better anytime soon....
08.01.2017
No. 104: The Giants stand pat, the A's trade their best pitcher; Overrated rock bands; Interest in the 49ers, what's a growler
Don't talk to Steinmetz and Castaneda about a slow period -- in sports or anything else. There is a lot going on, in plenty of places. The A's and Giants are going nowhere this season, but it doesn't mean they handled...
07.24.2017
No. 103: The Warriors' perfect offseason; the Giants' startling tumble; vacation vs. stay-cation
After a well-deserved vacation, the boys are back and talking about sports, the Bay Area and this time -- what they did while they were gone. Steinmetz was out of the Bay for about a month and when he returned...
06.20.2017
No. 102: Golden State Warriors win 2nd NBA title in 3 seasons. Their wonderful parade day in Oakland.
Sal and Steiny talk all about game 5--the clincher--and another historic day of celebration in the East Bay. Did you watch the parade on TV? Chances are you watched in on KTVU (according to the ratings). How long can the...
06.05.2017
No. 101: Warriors take 2-0 lead over Cavs in Finals; Golden State the perfect team for right now
The Warriors have taken a 2-0 lead over the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. How in the world are the Cavs going to win a game, let alone four? It doesn't look good. Wednesday is Game 3, and it's a...
05.30.2017
No. 100: Look ahead to Cleveland-Warriors Finals; the absolute rightness of what Buster Posey didn't do
It's finally here! Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The Warriors have been off for quite a while and the Cavs not quite as long, but it all starts on Thursday. Steinmetz thinks one of the reasons this series is...
05.18.2017
No. 99: Warriors continue rolling, lead Spurs 2-0; malaise among fans; mispronouncing names
The Warriors have won 10 straight playoff games and something like 24 out of their last 25. The only game they lost is a game they didn't really care about winning -- a game against the Utah Jazz late in...
05.11.2017
No. 98: Warriors sweep Utah, who's up next? Can Giants' fans handle a couple bad years? Trying to afford a house in San Francisco
The Golden State Warriors are making it look easy, but is that a good thing? They haven't lost a playoff game this year, and it's almost feeling routine. How do you even begin to beat the Warriors? Well, one way...
04.25.2017
No. 97: Warriors sweep Blazers in first round; Bumgarner will ride dirt bike and you'll like it; BART talk
Light work. That's what the Warriors did against the Portland Trail Blazers, sweeping their first-round series with a win Monday night. It was very much expected, and now it's onto the Western Conference semifinals for them. But there's something more...
04.20.2017
No. 96: Warriors take 2-0 lead over Blazers in first round of NBA playoffs; Durant's status remains up in air; Whither Nurkic?
The Golden State Warriors have gotten off to the kind of start in the playoffs that their fans hoped they'd get off to -- taking a 2-0 lead after a couple of games at Oracle. Even playing without Kevin Durant,...
04.17.2017
No. 95: Warriors beat Blazers 121-109 to take 1-0 lead in best-of-seven series
The Golden State Warriors beat the Portland Trail Blazers 121-109 in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series on Sunday night. It was a heck of a ballgame, really, as Damian Lillard and C.J.McCollum were brilliant, combining for 75 points....
03.29.2017
Podcast No. 94: Oakland Raiders leaving for Las Vegas; what to do if you're a Raiders fan; NFL holds cities hostage
On Sal and Steiny Podcast No. 94, the theme is the Oakland Raiders and dealing with the fact that they're going to Las Vegas. Sal lives in Alameda and Steinmetz lives in Oakland so the move is both professional and...
03.22.2017
No. 93: Warriors are back on track; the "resting players" thing; dealing with anger while on TV; Colin Kaepernick
The Warriors have won five in a row and all is right in the world. Kevin Durant is getting better, Stephen Curry is coming around and the playoffs are right around the corner. The only thing that's bringing down the...
03.16.2017
No. 92: Warriors, Curry in biggest slump of Kerr Era; Lynch/Shanahan with built-in credibility,; Raiders on way out
The Warriors are in crisis. That's the only way to describe it, right? They've lost 5 of 7, which is the worst stretch of the Steve Kerr era. Most teams have this kind of stretch a couple of time a...
03.08.2017
No. 91: The Warriors without Kevin Durant; NBA travel; getting started in the media business; March Madness coming
It took a few games but the Warriors look like they're finally getting used to the idea of playing without Kevin Durant. After a couple of subpar performances, Golden State has gotten its act a little bit together and will...
03.02.2017
No. 90: Warriors forward Kevin Durant gets injured; blast-from-the-past Matt Barnes is back; uncivil Twitter; Kaepernick a free agent
Everything changed for the Warriors this week. Kevin Durant injured his left knee during Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards, and he's going to be missing some playing time. How much playing time. Well, that's a good question. He's got...
02.23.2017
No. 89: Lakers front office office restructuring and how it affects Warriors, Why Kings may have traded DeMarcus Cousins now, the guys are sick of the rain.

02.06.2017
No. 88: Patriots win Super Bowl; Warriors lose to Kings; the drought is over
Sal and Steiny talk Super Bowl ... a snoozer of a game turned into one for the ages. And now it's time to discuss the greatness of the Patriots. Yeah, we're not going to do that. We'll talk some Tom...
01.25.2017
No. 87: Peter Hartlaub, pop culture critic for the San Francisco Chronicle
Such a fun podcast with Peter Hartlaub, the pop culture critic for the San Francisco Chronicle. In case you don't know Hartlaub knows about all things San Francisco and Bay Area and he shared some awesome stories with Sal and...
01.03.2017
No. 86: Jed York and his relationship with Bay Area media; Warriors' fans at a crossroads with their franchise
The 49ers are a hot mess right now, which they've pretty much been since Jim Harbaugh and the team "mutually parted ways." The only thing worse than the 49ers' situation might be owner Jed York's relationship with the Bay Area...
12.26.2016
No. 85: Warriors blow late lead against Cavs; Derek Carr suffers season-ending injury; 49ers get a win; Holiday cheer
They say you're supposed to take stock of all the positives in your life around the holidays. And surely Sal and Steiny do a lot of that during this podcast. But there's a touch of gray in the good vibes...
12.19.2016
No. 84: Raiders clinch playoffs; Derek Carr and Stephen Curry; Getting worse for Jed York; Warriors being taken for granted
The Oakland Raiders are in the playoffs, my friends, and that in and of itself is big news. The Raiders haven't been to the postseason since 2002, and they were led there by third-year quarterback Derek Carr. Carr is becoming...
12.14.2016
No. 83: Draymond Green and the Warriors; Jed York and the 49ers; the Northern California drought, more
Sal and Steiny took a little junket to Pacific Coast Brewing Company and talked a lot of Warriors, plenty of Jed York and the 49ers and the California drought. Is it over? The boys also spent a lot of time...
12.07.2016
No 82: Oakland has devastating fire, Oakland sports team help. Klay has record night.
Matt and Sal discuss how the horrible Oakland fire that devastated several families. Oakland sports teams have helped with donations. The Raiders and the Warriors are playing very well. Klay had a record night at Oracle. Charles Barkley is being...
12.01.2016
No. 81: Warriors improve to 16-2 and clear another hurdle on way to San Francisco; Raiders a legitimate Super Bowl contender

11.15.2016
No. 80: The Warriors start 8-2; The Raiders are rolling; The 49ers are the opposite of rolling
It's been a minute, as the kids say, since Sal and Steiny put out a podcast. Well, the boys have been busy -- real busy. But they got together to talk about a Bay Area sports scene that is alive....
10.26.2016
No. 79: Warriors get routed in opener vs. Spurs, 49ers are bad and getting worse
After a little breather, the Sal and Steiny show is back -- which is more than we can say for the Golden State Warriors. Nah, just kidding but boy were the Warriors lousy in their first regular-season game of the...
