two five seven. He shout outto my buddy Hans in Colorado. He
says, congrat you just woke upthe strippers at Loveland Ski Area today.

(04:30):
Nice. I'm sure they're fine.There's there's been some movies back in the
eighties when I was you know howwe were kids looking at stupid movies looking
for nudity in uh huh. Yeah, there was a movie about there was
like skis on genre, right,Bunny. Yeah what it was called hot
Dog the movie okay, and ithad it was in the Porky's esque type
movies. Yeah, they had those, right, And when it's like the

(04:53):
the like douchey rich kids like,yeah, you can't ski down the mountain
as fast as I can, Andthen there's a big ski race. That's
twenty twenty four reality, Yes,but yeah, the same thing. So
yeah, this. I don't rememberthe plot of Hot Dog in the movie,
but I remember involving ski bunnies anda ski resorts. So shout out
to me eighty ski movies. SteepDeep, hot Dog is the first one
that popped up. Yeah, Steepand Deep. Never saw that one ties

(05:17):
into your non Florida story, that'strue. Copper Mountain, no, nope,
license to thrill, Nope. Okay. Wasn't there one about a hot
tub time machine or something back inthe day? Yeah, oh they're going
skiing in that, but that wasin the eighties. Okay. It was
a good movie, though, Iguess it was quality film. Would you
go into a hot tub to goback in time? Well? They did

(05:42):
really fast, and we'll go backto sport. It's a good movie.
It was a good like Flaffer.I'm not going not an old timer.
No, I saw bits and pieceof it. If you could go back
in time to any part of yourlife, what would it be? It
would be right now. I'm livingmy best life right now? Really okay,
yes, my would be Fall ofnineteen. I've told just one hundreds
of times fall of nineteen ninety,yes, or spring. I guess,

(06:02):
so you just want to eat whateveryou want again? Oh god, oh
no, no, no, no. Graduated high school. We were taught
back in the day. As soonas you graduated from high school, where
did you go? You went tocollege? Okay, I should have gone
to the Harry Wendelstead. I'm piringschool to see if I could have been
an umpire. Oh okay, soI would have gone back in time.
Yes, done that. And ifI would have failed out, then I

(06:24):
would have gone to college. Butif I would have succeeded and gone on
to be a minor league umpire,I would have, you know, worked
my way up the charts there right. Well, in Alden, you become
like an apprentice at various jobs.You don't necessarily to college. Prentice safe
cracker, a prentice, hoty car, hot wire. Let me ask you
this. You did not finish atthe University Texas, but you didn't go.
Yes, would you have managed aif you had a chance to go

(06:45):
back, would you like to givea concerted effort to try to finish?
I think those are dumb. Notyour question is dumb. I just don't
think of it that way because Iwas never going to finish college. I
was just too immature. Yeah,the way that everything played out the way
that it did. If I goback one hundred times, I fel like
I was gonna play out that wayof one hundred times. Yeah, I
thought I knew everything. I wasvery immature. Yeah, and I didn't
have as much direction in my lifeas I thought I did. So I

(07:08):
feel like that's just the way itwas going to be, because you can
if I could know if you're puttingmy today brain back then. And of
course there's silly of the things likeI wish I would have told that girl
I had a crush on her thatthat's that's little, that's true. I
was just talking about altering things inyour life, issues events, and I'm
I've always will, always to mydying day think about whether or not I

(07:30):
should have gone to Umparks. Right, So you're saying, do I want
to go back to that psychology classand then uh talk more to that girl
that approached me when she was inher policewoman outfit on Halloween and what No,
Matt, No, I don't everthink about it, Like, let's
go back more recent times. Usedto you worked at a restaurant called Rhdters
Rhads and you walked out middle ofthe ship. What if you not would

(07:53):

(10:56):
Talk seven ninety. All right,full ad mission, I don't I'm not
an NFL draft fan. Again.I'll watch it, but getting into a
what could the Texans do next?I think that's fair to do that,
But I don't care how the Eaglesdo. I'd have no care about the
Lions. I don't care about theRams. I don't care about the Bears.

(11:18):
I care about the team that wetalk about on this show. I
care about the Falcons. Well,the Falcons is interesting for when as I
just don't get it. So onThursdays, Thursdays and two thirty. But
we're gonna make a special exception forthe Falcons. So I am what am
I doing? Oh? I'm atthe house, just in my library and

(11:39):
my wife's watching crap on Bravo.I'm like, I gotta get out of
here. I'm gonna watch the NFLDraft. But I'm I'm my computer playing
around. I'm a very loose watcher. Yeah, and so Facebook stockings,
so high school love interests. Imean that could be part of it,
but that's not really fair for theconversation right now. So it was offensive
player, offensive player, offensive player, and quarterback quarterback. It was like,

(12:01):
oh, this is pretty cool.Six quarterbacks the first twelve, which
was crazy. Atlanta pick comes atnumber eight, and truth be told,
I've got a friend of mine whowas a very high ranking officer in the
Atlanta Falcons organization. So I havea little not far fround now, Okay,
so I have a passing interest inAtlanta Falcons. And they they signed

(12:22):
Kirk Cousin to one hundred and plusmillion dollar guaranteed contract, four year deal
coming up. Yes, just Imean literally just this offseason. Yes,
and so you would think of anybody'sthis, this massive quarterback when we were
seeing would slow down a little bit. They take twenty four year old Michael
Pennix. Yes, did everybody's Ididn't see the reaction, did everybody?

(12:46):
Did Any NFL fan, even anovice NFL fan who was watching like I
was last night? Did our all? Did our jaws drop? Simultaneously?
Body said? What? You couldhear the entire country say it at once?
At one time we've collectively said,what it's that quarterback that people thought
wasn't even first round worthy? Basicallysay it was the draft number was between

(13:09):
thirty one and thirty two where hewas going to be drafted. Yeah,
okay, the betting, the bettingline, our good friend. Yeah on
ESPN, he's forty third overall.I could pull up some more, but
yeah, most people didn't have himanywhere near fifty. Dane Brugly the Athletic
had him fifty second overall. Thisguy was thought it was like a second

(13:31):
third round pick. If you wantto take a project because you just love
the intangibles and Michael Pennix has theintangibles, Yes, you don't do it
when you just signed Kirk Cousins toone hundred million dollar guaranteed contract for for
four years, even if you wantedto take take a first round quarterback because

(13:52):
you've got a let's say you hadwho's a mid starting quarterback in the NFL?
Give me, give me the mostmid starting quarterback. Davis Mills is
less than no. Hey, JacobiPressett, No, I guess he doesn't
start. Uh let me think ofsomebody, somebody just really really less.
Uh no, well, young,I guess he's worse than Daniel Joe was
the uh Daniel Jones justin Fields.No, who's the quarterback of the of

(14:18):
the Commanders? Oh Sam Howells.Yeah, well he was going he's not
daring, but Sam Howe. IfSam Howe's your incumbent and you're not breaking
the bank with him, yeah,then you go say, all right,
Michael Pennix, You're gonna learn alittle bit. But I think you are
worthy. You got the intangibles tosay you are a number worthy of taken
a number pick. I mean it'sjust as a reach. And on top

(14:39):
of the fact he's old af relativelyspeaking, yes, And on top of
the fact, you just gave onehundred million dollars to Kirk Cousins, which
says you're in win now mode,So you need to take players a number
on Kirk Coui or I don't know, get somebody on defense and stop somebody.

(15:01):
Uh yeah, I just don't getit. I got news for you
too. You mentioned the six quarterbacks. Are you ready for this? Oh?
Go ahead. I'm not an evaluator, so don't put my name on
it. Okay, I bet youfor the six are bust. Probably I
mean the mass says that, andI'm not saying like Daniel's lsu bust.

(15:24):
I'm not saying like journeyman NFL boundsome team to team to team like I'm
trying. By the way Gordy's inhere, I think for the six are
gonna be legitimately, Oh my god, what the hell are we thinking?
That's way more likely than all sixof them hitting. But you would think
in six you would have like goto the quarterback class of eighty three?

(15:46):
Can you would you do that fora second? Okay? You got three
Hall of Famers in that group.Yeah, that's the greatest of all times
three. That's three out of six. That's Kelly. Who else is in
that six that was in that groupof John Elway? Who are the other
three? Blackledge was one of them? I think got drafted I think by
Kansas City, Uh Todd Blackledge,yes, went seventh, and then next

(16:10):
with Jim Kelly by the Bills yep. After that was Tony Easton serviceable Patriot,
serviceable but not great. Then KenO'Brien serviceable, not great by the
Jets, and then Dan Marino twentyseventh. I you know what, I
think there's gonna be more of JakeLockers in this draft than they're going to
be even uh Tony Easton's. Yeah, that's fair, I think, uh

(16:32):
yeah, you think bow Knicks isreally I mean, bo Nicks had had
a nice senior season, he turnedit around at Oregon, but he was
drafted to high and right all over. You got to reach for a quarterback
these days. I guess that's justwhat everybody was doing. Just crazy.
So I will say this, ifyou're a Texan found I'm pursuing. Most
people that are listening to our showright now are Texans fans. With all

(16:55):
those offensive players wide receiver in quarterbackin particular, were drafted. If you
really love a defensive player, whichif Nick does, you're gonna have your
pick of a litter here coming upat forty two. Correct, Yes,
so good move by Nick Cassio.All these quarterbacks go in the first round.
That bumps everything down. That bumpsthe value of your forty two pick

(17:15):
up. It bumps the forty twopick up. But as smart as you
may think Nick Assario is, hecouldn't have predicted this. No one could
have predicted. First of all,Pennick's going eight and six quarterbacks being taken.
E thought there was going to beat least four, at least four,
maybe five. Nobody thought six.Penix is probably the outlier. But

(17:36):
outside of that, I don't thinkit was a shock that anyone else went
in the first round. I mean, there were people talking about possibly what's
his name, Spencer, Spencer Rattlooked fitting in. I mean the top
one, two, three is noshock. That's three already that you can
bump down and get extra value.You figured JJ McCarthy. A lot of
buzz came in late, and thenbow Nicks wasn't a shock, and then
Michael Pennix was so really you gotbasically like a plus plus one surprise,

(18:00):
big surprise. By the way,I am ready to announce to you.
Are you ready for this Thomas Sportsenterprise? This pick, this selection,
okay is going to be a perennial, all pro perennial. All this is
it cold on? Let me writethis down, Write it down, Joe

(18:22):
alt On a Notre dame. Dothey l okay? The number five pick?
Number five picks can bust. That'svery fairly rare when you're the first
tackle off the board. And didyou see the photo of Joel yesterday with
his junior achievement buddy, Yeah,who is his junior achievement buddy? Little
Chris, A little Chris. Yeah. I mean he's a big guy.
He's bigg and you're talking though,of course that the picture posted by one

(18:47):
Chris Gordy of I wanted to Iwant to be polite, did you Yeah?
If I didn't say anything at all? Okay, hold on, let
me write this down. Joe AltPerennial all pro for the Los Angeles Chargers.
Perennial use those words lightly around theseparts. In twelve twenty eight of
The Matt Thomas Show seven one three, two one two, I remember what

(19:11):
I owe you? A bag ofchips for now, Orghetty start first start,
you said quality? Correct, No, we did? You did over
an under three and two thirds andI oh, I won. Yeah.
I think he threw did even throwthree innings and he didn't go no,
that's fine, but I like it. I like egay, he's okay,
he's I think there's an upside onthat. He really got something working with
that fastball, got a ton ofswing and miss. He looked confident,

(19:33):
he was k stra. I waslike, you can't can you k straight
after giving up four runs at thefirst inning. Since Arraghetty didn't care.
He was he's got that main goingtoo. Yeah, I like that he
was. He was looking confident.I'm actually feeling pretty encouraged. But he
went twenty seven minutes up bringing upthe Astros. We're going to have to
okay, And it was only becauseI was trying to remember back because I
got the no st your wrongest fileout and how yeah I got I put

(19:53):
this in the wrong pile. Nosplash signings by the Texans. It's fine,
So I owe you a big bag, you and me a little bit.
Uh. Is that what's happening now? Okay, I'll buy your family.
So i's canceled out. Let's cancelchip for chip, chip for chi.

(22:08):
Texans serving Texans. It's Alvarez,Tucker, and Diaz do up.
As Joe Aspota comes out to havea word with Jansen Visconti. I'm not
sure what this is about here,and there's a Spota in Wisconti still talking
things over in a spot. Ijust got ejected. The Spata was pretty

(22:30):
calm. You could tell he wasn'thappy about something and might be just trying
to fire up his team at thispoint. First time Joe Aspota has been
ejected as a big league manager.If you watched it, which I did
not because I was in the car. I was not running some errands.

(22:52):
And listen to what Robert said Idid. If you watched it, it
was like two guys discussing anything butthe fact that Joe spotted it didn't like
his shrike zone. It was looklike it looked like Joe was like,
hey, man, I gotta dosomething. You want to go ahead and
toss me? You want to gettossed? Yeah? Yeah. There was
no hat tossing. There was nokicking sand in the guy, yeah,

(23:17):
kicking dirt. There was no MF. There was no Aaron Boone production.
There was no backward cap turning.Yeah, chest bumping, chest bumping.
There was no finger point into theold index finger pointing finger into the chest.
Yes, that's no, no,no touching but close, yeah right.
There was no getting the other umpiresinvolved. Yeah. There was no
bench omar Lopez and not come overand try to pull him aside, none

(23:41):
of it. Yeah. If Iwas the grade, the Joe spot an
ejection on a one to ten,it was a one yeah, and he
didn't fire the boys on his hands. Well it fired up. Uh.
The two people got on right after. Who was it? I can't even
remember. Was it on your idea? Is a couple of singles? I
think is reality starting to set in? What reality? Matt? This team

(24:08):
sucks? Yeah, you were notwalked, and then Tucker walked, That's
what happened. And then Yan Nirdhis fielder's choice, Jeremy Pania fielder's choice,
Jonathan Singleton ground out. Yep,that's a oh for three with runners
and scoring positions. So let's let'sbe brutally honest. The lineup moving around

(24:29):
has not paid off dividends, likeI didn't. I mean, no one
thought it was going to accept stupidpeople. Well, Alex Pragman got three
hits in the last two days,three singles, a bloop and one off
the pitcher's glove and then one hardhit single. Yeah, it's fine whatever,
I'll take it, take it cool. Is reality setting in? What's

(24:49):
reality? Well? Seven and nineteenis reality. They're better than seven to
nineteen. I still maintain that.I still believe. I mean, they're
the movie reviews. They're bad,they're rotten tomatoes. I know we're good
going in and people went in thereand said, what are y'all seeing?
I don't see the same movie you'reseeing. I actually I spent a lot

(25:11):
of time thinking about this last night. Please They're not done. They just
can't be. They're just too good. The clutch hitting is. They went
one for sixteen in the last twodays with runners in scoring position. I
do still believe the floodgates are goingto open at some point. Justin Verlander
has had a couple of starts that'sbeen solid. From Er Valdez is coming
back, Hopefully Javier doesn't miss muchtoo much time. Renee Blanco has been

(25:36):
better. Spencer Raghetti looked a littlebit better. I still believe in this
team. Oh I'm going to too, but it's hard. I'm just saying
that. I'm just saying reality isstarting to set in. Where I have
been, not the chairman of becauseI I'll never do that, but I

(25:56):
was the it's early club guy.Yeah, it's not early anymore. You're
twelve games under five hundred in twentysix games. You go from it's early
to there's still plenty left. Yeah, we're now in these there's still plenty
lit. There is still a lotof baseball left, but it's not early
anymore. Let's go with the phones. Talk to some people. Let's say
hello to Forrest. The Matt ThomasShow, twelve thirty eight on seven ninety

something from the Nephis Express. Oh, Sparrow too, can't go wrong with
sorrow. Get a New York Slice, Yeah, borrow, plus some video
games at tilt. Oh man,the good old days. You know there's

(27:41):
a video doing these days. Idon't think. Well, I've not been
in one in a long time.I think I've been to one in the
last five. Going to Deerbrook,Hang every damn sure, what's wrong?
Hey, that's where I took myuh my driver's school. This year's at
Deerbrook. You have all that?Yeah, they said always have a getaway
driver ry. I got a cookiecake from there, Yes, from the

(28:02):
you know, the you know thehead adoring it and from from Great American
Mooky. I think three people triedto break into my car. All was
gone. That's not true. Youcame back to your car and it was
totally fine, wasn't it. Iain't going there. You came back to
your car and it was totally fine. I did. But there were people
was like, going, is thisThomas's car? Nobody said that nobody knows
who you are. That's true,that's right. So they I would in

(28:23):
front of myself about my last nameonly either Bill on the Woodlands at imut
Thommas show Bill, good afternoon.You guys got my blood pressure up ten
minutes ago. I'm gonna have toget get loud on your life. Let's
go, let's go. Let mehear you, let me go from my
boy, Michael Penix. What areyou talking about? Roth Outlier? He
was the leading candidate for Heising theTrophy for most of the year. He

(28:47):
beat out played your boy Quinn yourstwo years in a row in both Bowl
Game. He beat Bowt Knicks twicethis year and Bowl was was almost a
leading for the Heisman. He beatKayleb Williams this year, last year's Heisman
Trophy winner. The only problem washe was hurt four years while was that
Indiana. That's that was the issuewhether he could stay healthy. But he's

(29:10):
been healthy two years in a row. I don't know what you're talking about,
Outlier. J. J. McCarthythrew like one or two touchdowns all
year long. Oh my boy throwslike four games. What are you talking
about? Yeah? What are youtalking about? Ros? I think that
he has a great offensive line.He has like three NFL wide receivers.
He had a great team around him. I think he does struggle with arm

(29:30):
strength. You're talking about team.Oh he he beat Bownecks by himself.
Those are team of construments. Hedid outplay quinn Ewers, but quinn Ewrs
isn't very good. So I don'tknow why you're acting like that's got a
great compliment. Ye at an outlierbill. Your boy turns twenty four and
ten days. Okay, no,wait, Brandon Wien was all how that
turnout? He's all but good cracksunder pressure. He doesn't have elite armstrenger.

(29:56):
No, no, no, heis a crack. Didn't throwing the
National Championship Game anticipation when I gotkilled, I mean destroyed. Excuse me?
It was twenty It was twenty toseven and a half time. What
was the final score? Man?I forgot thirty thirty four to thirteen.

(30:19):
Yeah, yeah, I got atthe end. He'll be good. He's
gonna be good. But he isin a wrong spot and then the team
that picked him with anything. Yeah, we won't know that years. That's
two different issues. Who said hewas an outlier, I don't know.
I didn't. I don't know you. I don't know if I used the
word outlier, But you know,when you use the word outlier, unexpected

(30:40):
out maybe project I believe was usedby MAP, but that's okay either way.
Yeah, he was the outlier asfar as guys that we didn't think
was going to be taken in thefirst round. I mean, everybody was
shocked he was taken in the firstround. And now we're not even gonna
find out if he's good for thenext couple of years. I guess unless
Kirk Cousins gets hurt because they signedhim up to a big deal. I
agree with that. See see Bill, lower your blood pressure. I had

(31:03):
to get my boot pressure down.Yeah, I got some medicine for you
for that, by the way.Yeah, I just think he was overdrafted
at eight. I thought maybe hewas going to be like a second rounder.
But a second round quarterback can besuccessful. It's it's happened before you
can get a guy in this.I mean, Russell Wilson was the third
rounder, Dak Prescott fourth round.It just doesn't make sense. He went
to Atlanta and that's not his fault. That's Atlanta's fault. Yeah, That's
that's all I'm saying. And Ido have questions about Michael Pinnox over the

(31:26):
other quarterbacks. That doesn't mean Ithink he. I I didn't come out
and declare he's going to be abust. Also, we're not telling you
unless those six quarterbacks are Jake Lockers, well, then Michael Pennock's probably would
be one of them prove And againbecause of my in depth minutes of knowledge
and studying, these quarterbacks will provethat. We'll prove it ultimately. It's

(31:49):
just they were just there. Idon't know. And again I'm just I'm
just throwing it out there. WhenI looked at this list of quarterbacks,
I thought there was like I thinkWilliams, once he gets past his maturity
issues and stops painting his fingernails,is gonna be a fine NFL quarterback.
I really do. Why has hegot to stop painting his fingernails. It's
weird. It's what the kid JalenGreen's doing it. He's doing it all.

(32:12):
But I love Jaalen. I wouldtell Jalen it's for twenty something year
old men to be painting your fingernailsis weird? O EMO kids have been
doing for thirty years. How theytry to borrow them. I'm sure some
of them have turned out to befine. So I'm want to look at
twelve fourteen percent range. I don'tknow, I think, so I'm gonna
go with twelve to fourteen percent EMO. I mean, how many EMO our
doctors right now? Lawyers probably hundreds. Phil FIL's tar the way you can't

(32:36):
pin your you can't paint your fingernailswhen you're working on surgery. I have
clean nails clean. Yeah, they'renot gonna paint. They wear gloves,
they still can't paint them. Sevenone three two one two five seven doty

(33:22):
Houston Sports Talk for lunch, MattThomas returns on Sports Talk seven ninety
easton Texas's up makes you so?All right? So with all the offensive
players going, the quarterbacks and widereceivers in particular, two questions I have
for you sports Harvy. This isthe Matt Thomas Show. By the way,

(33:44):
seven one three two one two sevenninety is anything goes Friday? Indeed,
does it make you think with allthose defensive players that will be readily
available for the Texans at forty two, they should go defense? Or do
you say, if what is beingdone ahead of us signals that if you
have a first and or second roundpick that you presume our starters, should

(34:07):
you go load up on offensive players, especially since this has been such an
offensive heavy draft so far and stillremains tremendous value at offensive positions. Well,
Matt, that's a great question.I ask. What we're gonna do
is we're gonna look at the board, and we're gonna think and talk and
have some quality conversations with everyone andand just try to get a constance the
room. And at the end ofthe day, we're just looking for the

(34:29):
best player available. Now, whetherit be offense, defense, it depends.
There's a lot of factors of thingsthat can fall in our laps and
in different ways that this can goand avenues that this may take. And
at the end of the day,we know we're gonna get a quality player
and somebody who can help this team. I didn't ask asked them. Sorry,
Oh okay, yeah, they shouldgo defense. They should go defense.
To me, there's gonna be alot of quality. I like a

(34:51):
lot of the cornerbacks that are still. Cooper dejen for whatever reason, continues
to fall down boards. But Ithink the way I have not now.
He sounds like he might be fromLafaye. Go find Connor, Go find
us some Cooper Degene audio. Okay, I heard him on a NFL preview

(35:12):
show. I don't know if itwas on FS one or if it was
NFL Network or ESPN, but listen, I could listen to Cooper Degene read
the phone book. Hmm, okay, it's I'll like to listen to him.
It's exactly what you would think theCooper Degene would sound like. Okay,
but yeah, I think that there'sgonna be a lot of cornerbacks available

(35:35):
at that point. Probably uh Johnand Newton from Illinois is going to be
gone. That's a guy that peoplethought they might get it twenty three.
So there should be some guys inthe defensive interior at cornerback. That's where
I think that if I had toguess it'll be, it'll be cornerback,
but you could also get an interioralignement, which you still need. Yes,
you do have, as I said, Newton. And then there is

(36:00):
Chris Jenkins from Michigan. And thenthere's another one that I think is in
the area of just where people think, Okay, I'm not breaking down tape
or whatever, but just of consensusof should be available around then for one
of the two for second round picksfor the Texans. So the reality is
this this worked out as well asit could have possibly have worked out for
the Texans because of the fact thatthere were so many offensive players selected.

(36:22):
Yeah, and maybe conversely, Ross, if you would have seen a run
of let's say defensive edge rushers.The Texans don't need that. If you
would have seen say five or sixchosen in the first round, you would
have felt good about what you couldhave gotten in the second round if you
want to go get a receiver,or let's say there was a running back

(36:44):
that you thought was really intriguing.And now again I don't think they should
go running back in the second round. I think defense is where it's at.
But when you have seen the strangetwist that has been this NFL draft
so far, with all these offensiveplayers and in basically two positions, the
Texans really really good. I mean, I don't think it's great to be
forty two in your first selection.You don't build franchises off of that.

(37:05):
But if you're gonna do it ina year where the quarterbacks go in the
first round, this was the yearfor that to happen. Yeah, I
mean, and you could even haveSpencer Ratler go up here if depending on
if somebody wants to go up andtake them. Yeah. But yeah,
Cooper de Jean is on the KOOLImcintry's probably gone as well. He's got
a foot injury. But he waslike a first round talent, then you're
into like TJ. Tampa, IniIsh, Rake Straw, those type of

(37:28):
guys. This guy kool Ai getsa lot of run too. Yeah,
kool Ai is really good. He'sa first round talent, but he's got
a broken foot right now. Hedidn't run the combine or I don't think
at Pro Day. I just thinkthat would be a great name. Cool.
Yeah, it'd be cool MT andCool. I didn't mean it that
way, but yeah, MT andkool Aid. We can get them on.
Yeah. Do they still have theno rookies policy? We got struck

(37:49):
down on that before Bill O'Brien hadthat. I don't know if Demko Ryans
would have that. Yeah, yeah, I don't think. We tried to
have the Mamandre Mopkins and then somebodystruck it down. It's not an issue
of rookies, it's the issues atthe other station. Cur mudgeon league coach
from dors Chest to Mass who shutthat down don't really a mayhle. Yeah,
they call them Matthews people masss.It feels like you should I didn't

(38:15):
say that that you did, butthat's okay. Yeah, I'm down to
defense. Defensive interior linebacker even safety. But I feel like this has always
thought of Ben as a good cornerbackdraft, and you've only had who's off
the board Queen and Mitchell Terry andArnold date Wiggins the top three. Okay,
so let's call our shot defense,cornerback, cornerback within one of those

(38:38):
first. I'm gonna go cornerback too, because I don't think they're sold on
the current secondary, even with thefree agent acquisition. Okay, why is
Cooper Dejiine sliding so much? There'ssome people that had them in their top
ten. Did we find a CooperDegene yet? Cooper Degene? So?
I injured my my leg my fibularfresh mid November, had so a couple

(39:00):
of days later, and I've beenrehabbing ever since. You know, everything's
going as planned. I just startedrunning a week ago, full speed great.
So that's that's been good. Youknow, as far as the position
talk, you know, throughout thisweek, there's there's been multiple teams who
have who have talked to have youknow that you know what I prefer?
Are you really sure that's him?You know? I believe I can play

(39:22):
corner sure out the speed on theMinnesota con But CBS understand with my athleticism,
I can play multiple other I thoughthe had a huge twain to him.
That's that's been in conversation as well. And you're thinking of somebody else.
Maybe I am thinking of somebody else. Yeah, Cooper, you sound
fine to me. You don't soundnear list exciting as I thought you were
going to be. Let's see profootball focuses. Second round mock draft has

(39:45):
the Texans taking Brandon Fiskey, defensiveinterior out of Florida State. I like,
I guess maybe because he broke hisfibio or whatever. People are upset
about Cooper Degene and think maybe he'sa safety. Yeah, that's why he's
like yeah, and you know,let's be brutally honest. People are nervous
that a white guy can cover peopleand as a cornerback. It's been since
what Jason Seahorn, good dude too. Jason Seahorn, formerly married to an

(40:13):
Angie Harmon. Angie Harmon and lawand order Chris Brown, former Texans kicker,
great friends with Jason Seahorn and AngieHarmon. Caledon told me about their
breakup, Like, what was Igonna do about it? Not a damn
thing Angie Harmon early two thousand,goat sure, Oh, here we go,

(40:36):
Troy Apke the commanders light complected cornerback. Oh no, we can't have
that. That's all right, weneed more. We don't know. We
only want one white guy in thesecondary. We don't I want one white
guy. I don't believe white peopleshould playing in the secondary. I'm just
telling you what just no, no, thank you, Wow, I'm uncomfortable.

(41:00):
Well, I'm just telling you thatthey have Cooper Degine going thirty ninth
to the Panthers on this is thePFF, just put something. I think
the reason why Cooper Degene has beentalked about with the Panthers so much is
because the Panthers have said, Cooper, if you're there, we're taking you,
which I think is very dangerous forany promise as they say, yeah,
you don't want that. You don'twant that. Seven one three two
one two five seven dotti seven onethree two one two five seven nine zero.

(41:22):
We're gonna play some ASTROI Doldrums comingback. You know we you know
we've lost a bit on the show. We've already got rind of aos.
Reactions, they're proper reactions, Okay, Uh, sources are saying you're thinking
of Xavier Legette. That's who itis. How did you get him mixed
up with Cooper Degene? Well,it's this occajun name Degene, Xavier Cooper,

(41:47):
Iowa, South Carolina. Just justplay whoever I was thinking about.
Play out when we come, wecome back seven one three, two,
one two five. You get himout of it. I'm not a big
NFL draft guy. I'm just not. I like to sit and watch it,
but I'm not gonna sit there andbreak it down like a moto.
I'm not gonna cuss and discuss it. Okay, I'm gonna cuss discuss what
the hell's going on with our localnine. You can do that after I

(42:09):
tell you about the folks at ClassicElite Chevy sugar Land, Classic Elite Chevy
Highway six zero percent interest for seventytwo months on all Silverados. I repeat,
seventy two months zero percent interest plusfifteen thousand dollars off. So like
Silverado's and four thousand dollars off twentytwenty four Tahos and seventy five hundred dollars

Well, because they never hold.I'm just going to try to come in

(43:15):
and be the same guy every day. The day was Day two. I
felt like I had a prudist move. Great too, I'm at great day
two. But the first day Ididn't like how I came out, But
throughout the prinfice I felt like Igot better for me. Yeah, that's
my guy. Thomas Sports Enterprises nowadded Xavier Legette, South Carolina. Okay,

(43:37):
you know I've never been to thestate of South Carolina before I've driven,
Why would you. I've been torock Hill, but it was just
to go in and go out.I don't even know why I was in
South Carolina. But I've never beento Charleston, never been to Myrtle Beach.
I heard Myrtle Beach. I've neverbeen to what's the Hilton Head.
That's one of the rare states I'venever been to. But everybody, now,

(43:59):
that's a dude's voice. And weused to work with somebody that was
from South Carolina that had the distinctiveSouth Carolina. That is correct, Jason
Braddock. Now I think the femaleGeorgia sound is amazing. It is,
yeah, Georgia peach girl from Joelder. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
for sure. It's just weird.Does the girl? Do the women in

(44:20):
South Carolina sound like the dudes inSouth Carolina. Listen to Xavier again.
Listen to how thick this is.This is good. I've listened to this
all day long. Go ahead,Oh, he's said he's gonna restart,
retart. We have to restart oncomputers. Here for some from Mullins,
South Carolina. If anybody asks fromSouth Carolina, listen to the show right
now, call us right now andput it on thick. Oh damn it,

(44:46):
we use that one for next week. Can't you can't clip that?
His computer's not working. That's so. Yeah, it's frozen. It doesn't
look like he's looking at us orpaying attention. We're looking at a still
shot of Connor. I can't seeyou. Okay, So there we go.
So that's that's that's who I wasthinking of. You know, I

(45:07):
was listening to them again, Iwas. I'm just a passive watcher of
NFL drafts. I mean, Irespect people that that lived for it.
But the first thing USA Tay Todaydid it was not a list of winners
and lo, how the hell doyou know who won and lost? Now,
I will say most confusing pick wasobviously the Michael Pennock selection by the
Atlanta Falcons, biggest benefactors. Itsounds like the Minnesota Vikings were very sly

(45:30):
on Game one of the draft,and I think, ironically not that anybody
would care outside of Houston. Butthe Texans went on this because they say
do because their second round pick happenedto be Stefon Diggs, and we know
who Stefon Diggs is Yes, he'sgonna be only here for one year,
and that's neither here nor they.You're gonna make a lot of money and
then but he's just going to beon a contract year and he's gonna be

(45:52):
on his best behavior and he's gonnabe able to take that one awesome year
of the Texans and go somewhere elseand the Texas will be sitting there with
nothing in return and except losing thesecond round. So that's an extra second
round pick. But but but they'regoing on. But if they're going to
the super Bowl, then they're pushingtheir chips in. Yeah, you gotta
take risks in this life. That'swhat we do here in the show.

(46:13):
Do you think the Rams are greattrading a first round pick for Odell Beckham
Junior and winning the Super Bowl?I don't think so. That was the
reason why they won the Super Bowl. Well, I think he tore his
A C L. Yeah, abunch of trades, the Matthew Stafford actisition
worked out. They traded all theirpicks and they went all in for the
Super Bowl. You know, theyhad not had a first round pick in
like seven or eight years. That'spart of the reason we have a guy

(46:37):
that works for this here at ktrH and also does some stuff here on
seven on any case of Jeff Biggsis the biggest Los Angeles Rams fan I've
ever seen in my time. Hewears Rams, he wears Rams gear to
work here at the station. Ishe from Missouri every single day? Oh?
He's the l A guy. Ohokay, Oh so he's l A
Rams back of the day. Yes, Roman Gabriel and Deacon Jones and the

(46:59):
boys, fitz vere Gamo, EricDickerson, Wendell Tyler, sure, Flipper
Anderson, if you will, andapparently he will. You know, Merlin
Olsen got why don't know how muchabout their La Rams. I don't know.
With Jackson, that young blood.Rammit, they had that great song.
Rammit, you can't play that intwenty twenty four? Can Why not?

(47:21):
Can you play it? I thinkso? It's a great jam.
It's up there with the San DiegoSuperchargers song. It's one of the great
NFL jams. I got one foryou, that Philadelphia seventy six er song.
They played it last night, sixErs. I love that song.
That's good. The Coups play asong, you know, say the Cups
play a song too, Cubs Go. They played it three straight times this
weekend. Yeah, by the way, I had the Texans going five and

(47:44):
one on the rest of this road. How's that looking. It's not looking
great. Well, it's in veryimpossible for them to meet that. So
I'll be taking an l next weekon the FEELIX. I mean, it
is what it is. What arewe gonna do? I don't know.
We've been avoiding it for a while. We've we've gone on hour nine to
dig into the Astros at some point. God, this pains me. It

(48:06):
just pains me. It should Iam an I was a I am an
Astros buddy. Alum hm hmm.And I said that a lot like in
twenty ten, eleven, twelve,thirteen when I was doing one hundred postcams.
Yeah, you were always you werealways presenting your Astros Buddy credentials.
Yeah, the walls. You're gonnawear a shirt former Astros buddy. Yeah,

(48:30):
Alan Ashby love you man, youcan get it to get you a
bumper sticker Ashros buddy X. BecauseI think if you're an Astros buddy,

like, for instance, you werethan a member of the National Honor
Society. It's all. It's asmart guy. Okay, they say,
matth you're an astro buddy. Yeah, that means your parents showed out twenty

(48:51):
bucks to bring you to a coupleof games. Okay, I don't think.
I don't choose to think of itthat way. Okay, I should
think of it as a young entrepreneurbaseball fame fully embrace his local team.
Okay, this is painful, itis. I cannot believe how bad they're
playing, lack of clutch hitting.Yes, when we sit there and want
to brag on Rafael Montero, hegives up the game, the game winning

(49:13):
runs yesterday. Well, Brian Bray, you had something to do with it.
He wasn't either. I bragged abouthow great the bullpen was going to
be this year, top three AmericanLeague. And that's a ridiculously bad loss
on my part. And I thinkit was top four in baseball. I'd
have to go check those numbers.There's a lot of time left and in
theory that still can happen. Absolutely. Now, remember you cannot say any

(49:35):
more to your friends. It's early, Okay, it's not early now,
you've not progressed to There's plenty oftime still left in the season. That's
what you progressed. Okay, andI'm gonna progress that way. But back
to Joe, A spota gets tossed. It wasn't even a real toss.

(56:35):
is very valuable. You see.Have you seen my hourly rates? Just
do it for free? You shoulddo it for free. Tickets seven one
two one two five seven ninety Weare going to play. Joe A spotted
being talked about getting tossed in thegame. But our audio system is not
working there, what zero surprising.Let's go to uh Tang in League City.

(56:59):
Have we ever talked to a Tangbefore? I don't think so.
Hi tang, Hey guys, thanksfor taking my call real quick. First
of all, umpiring is getting worseand worse every year every game. I
get that Joe'spota, this emotionless,stoic nonsense that he's trying to present to

(57:21):
the world is not working. Idon't even play on the team, and
I'm at home yelling and cussing atthe TV. He's got to get out
there and show them aren't get behindhis team. And if Joe Spotta won't
do it, if I'm Alex Bregman, who knows the strike zone better than
anybody in baseball, Bregman needs toturn around. Hell those back down,
do something, get the team firedup. Fans are more pissed than the

(57:45):
players, and Joe's Spotta. That'sall I gotta say. Thanks Tag for
the phone call. I am notthe true believer in that going to get
ejected helps the cause, but Iwould say, if you're going to go
do it, go do it likeyou mean yeah, if you're at least
if you're going to get a jackto go ahead. Yeah, did he
know he was getting injected, thenI guess here's a mister spot After the
game. I just you know,they not agree with his strikes on today

(58:10):
throughout the whole game. Yeah,I thought there was a you know,
pitches didn't go our way, andI just didn't agree with him. But
you kind of choose that moment rightthere. I just got tired of watching
him. I mean, he's tired, really honest. I like that.
I mean, you're not question askedand answered. I mean, I give
him that, And like I likeJoe, I I wish he was was

(58:35):
being given a better fate here.And I don't really believe that a lot
of this is on him, butthe seven and nineteen is on his career
record. You can't take that awayfrom him. And the fact the team
looks like it needs a kick inthe rear end, whether that's in his
DNA heat to do that, whetherthe injuries and the subpar performance have overcome

(58:59):
the rally. You know, becauseat some point you have to be you
gotta be tired of saying I knowyou've done this before in the past.
Like you can go up to AlexBregman and say, Alex, we know
you're a eight hundred plus ops guy. We can go to yarn and Alvarez
and say I could put you intotwo, three, four, five,
sixty seven spot. You're gonna hithome runs for us. I know that
Jose hoses bad example, who elseChas McCormick. We saw you hit twenty

(59:22):
bombs and we know that you cando this. But at some point you
have to give up on that kindof conference. It has to be all
done on the field. Because also, let's say Joe Spotted did go and
lose his bleep and then he he'slike throwing his hat and stomping and kicking
dirt the umpire. Then then whatwould people some people say. They would
say, oh, Joe Spott haslost it, He's lost the team,
He's the the wheels are coming off. It's very clear he can't handle this.

(59:45):
So there's just no way that hecan win. To me, because
if this is a seven and nineteenteam and Dusty's managing this team, guess
what they're saying, it's past hisprime. They need to change, They
need a different voice in the clubhouse. Trust me, nobody as a manager
or a head coach that is playingseven and nineteen baseball is ever going to

(01:00:12):
get to bendin for the doubt.It's going to be fire the manager first
and foremost, or fire the coach, because it's always going to be who's
rolling these guys, who's motivating theseguys. I swear to God, if
Dusty Baker head at seven and nineteen, you'd be getting calls every other minute
ross about firing Dusty Breaker in themiddle of the season. Trust me on
these things. Yep. Let's goto Roger on the Matt Thomas Show at

(01:00:35):
WON twenty six. Roger, Good, afternoon, Matt. How's it going
for this long time? They niceto hear from you? My my ticker
on this spot is this, Well? How many years did they signing for
it? What's this contract? Ithink it's one year? Joe Spotta,
No, I don't think no,no, no, they know they usually
sign at least two year deals,sometimes three, and then they have also

(01:00:55):
have options as part of it.But the no manager, I don't care
if it's the first time, it'snot gonna it's gonna sign for one season.
Yeah, I just I don't thinkyou should be getting comfort to be
comfortable if you should get yet,that's the shade he busted his ass.
You know, spending years on thebench tould be a good bench coach and
just to have it all knocked downin a few short weeks. It's just
it's just it's gut answering, youknow, this this team to fall from

(01:01:20):
grace and such a rapid clip it. So it's historic, but in the
wrong way. And I'm not sureif personality has anything to do with it,
but if it does, Mandre,they've got ther resonated ferminality even eggplant
right now because nobody wants to doanything, and it seems like everybody just
very very you know, just verylack of daisical. The body, the

(01:01:43):
body motions are still showing if they'rejust like okay, you know, and
it's just like every day and lthe l piles up. These people are
piling up and then finally some ofwe're gonna have to be part of this,
and unfortunately it's gonna it's not gonnabe most of the players. They
might send them down or trade them, but for the most part it's gonna
be coach EDGs are gonna roll andyou know that's gonna be, but not

(01:02:04):
after twenty six games. Roger,that's this is too quick. That's not
fair to anybody. That's just notfair. Will Will Yes, what do
you think, well, of course, of course, when when when when
teams are I mean, you're notgiving you're not giving us any breaking news
here. I mean, heads aregonna roll, but it won't. I
don't. I don't think. Goahead. What I'm saying, this is
what's gonna happen. I'm not sayingit's gonna happen now, but this is

(01:02:25):
what is going to happen. Andthis is not what we want to happen,
but it's you know, I can'tbelieve how rapidly this thing is falling
apart. Yeah, I don't.Everybody's in the same spot here, Roger.
I don't think we're arguing about that. How is Joe a spot of
holding this team back? Well,see, I don't think he's holding him

(01:02:46):
back. But I'm trying to playthe other side of the fence here on
this and say what am I not? I mean, because here's the thing.
If you're calling a radio show andsaying that he's not motivating his guys,
you don't really know the answer thatquestion. And it's the major leagues.
These guys are motivating themselves, andyou can say, well, he
doesn't have the fire in the bellythe Dusty. You don't know Dusty wasn't

(01:03:07):
getting tossed? Was Dusty? Howmany times it does he get Dusty?
I would brag about the number oftimes he wouldn't get tossed. You don't
know about the individual meetings. Youknow about the team meetings. You don't
know if the if they're going inone ear and out the other, or
they're going, Man, if Joe'scoming to me personally, this must be
a big deal to us. Ofcourse, you're going from a manager's won
two thousand games to a guy that'swon seven. There's gonna be an adjustment

(01:03:30):
period, and if Joe spot isnot ready for this, to Rogers point,
they will move on. They willabsolutely move on because there's nobody in
this world that could think that thisteam is performing at the expectation levels of
what was thought this team would bebefore the start of the season seven to
nineteen. No one in a millionyears would have thought this team would have
been as bad as they are.But I'm not I can't do that yet.

(01:03:53):
I can't. I can't see AlexBregman rolling his eyes. I don't
think Jake Myers is going shut up, Joe cho Bom maass up, Joe.
Uh So, I would say everybodyneeds to be held accountable and already
going for the pitchfork on a spotof twenty six games in when you would

(01:04:15):
have done that for Dusty Baker,you're just basically firing the persons in charge
no matter who it is. Joe, A spot has already matched the number
of ejections from Dusty Baker all oflast year in the regular season seven to
one, three rejected once seven onethree, two one two five seven nine
zero seven one three two one twofive seven out eight is the Matt Thomas

all tied up in savings and bonds. I wish, Oh, I wish
that four to one K was thriving. It is what it is. It
is what it is. That's whyyou're stuck with me for at least ten
more years. This is terrible.Like I'm looking, I'm gonna go brows
though, what do they call itthe trades? See if it's a job

(01:08:21):
in the loose, I'm looking right, now Jason and Kingwood at one thirty
nine on the Matt Thommys Show.Jason, good afternoon. Hey, what's
up guys? Hey Ross, goodto see you the other night. Bro.
I hope you're doing well. Hopeyou're enjoyed vak Oh, thank you,
Jason. Yet where do you seeeach other? We ran into each
other after a baseball game. Afterthe baseball game, we end up going

(01:08:42):
to eighteen thirty six. I thinkthat's what it was called. I don't
remember any of that. Oh Ilike this story, but uh well yeah,
I had a quick question for youguys. All right, so what
is the what is the hardest Houstonsports team fall off? The twenty thirteens,
the twenty twenty to twenty twenty oneRockets, or the Ash Shows from

(01:09:05):
this year. I know the season'snot over. I want to hear it.
I don't. I know what's notover. We're gonna happen. I
have to say, well, Jason, we're gonna have to probably kick c
off because it's too too early todo that. But if it happened,
But if it happens, they finishunder five hundred. Yeah, if they

(01:09:26):
don't make the playoffs, it wouldbe a fall off. If they go
under five hundred, I mean that'sa collapse. It would be a collapse.
So Texans twenty thirteen, when theAFC South twenty fourteen, did they
go, I'm assuming they went toNo. Twenty twelve, they won the
Division twenty third, they go toand fourteen with garys. That wouldn't that
used the collapse on the field orsomething. Well, they when they won

(01:09:48):
their first two games and then theylost the last fourteen fourteen, Yes,
even with Wade Phillips at the endof this week game. So that's let
me the Rockets going from perennial playoffteam to twenty wins the next season.
That was three straight twenty years theAstros drop off into one hundred losses.
That was still after being them beingmediocre, So that wasn't a huge fall

(01:10:10):
off this Okay, to answer Jason'squestion, if this team goes on under
five hundred this year and doesn't makethe playoffs, it's the greatest collapse for
seven straight American League championship series tothis. I don't want to think we're
talking about this, Okay, We'regonna Jason, Jason terrible Gee and Ross
Sung them by your drinks anymore.I think he got mine. I don't

(01:10:35):
really remember. I had a lotto drink that night. Okay, So
if that's if those are the two, what would be the Is there another
big drop off? Do you countcollege's drop offs? Or is it because
the players move in and out?What he? There hasn't been a you

(01:10:56):
age went to the Peach Bowl?Oh yeah, but they got to.
I mean they gotta win something legitimate. I mean for there to be a
drop off. What do you mean? They won the Peach Bowl, they
won a Florida States through third stringquarterback. Quarterbacks one and two were irritated.
Great, Yeah, they won theAmerican Conference. Okay, well,
I mean that's the height of yourfootball program? Really? When that the
best season the history that Now,the seventy six Cotton Bowl team was cool.

(01:11:19):
Where'd they finish in the pole?I don't know. I wasn't you
know, the nineteen six, seventysix eight p pole in front of you.
No, I don't. I shouldn't. I'm not a dork. You
should How did they finish that year? Uh? This can't be right.
Nineteen seven? You would it beninety seven? Would it be ninety would

(01:11:39):
it be seventy seven? I guess. Okay, so let's go back forget
about that. Let's just go tolet's go to think about is there another
major Houston sports collapse final poll?They finished fourth? Okay, that's pretty
good. That's right. That's thebest. That's the seventy six to seventy
seven year. That's the best ever. I want to say that was their
first year in the Southwest Conference too, if I'm not mistake. In the

(01:12:00):
next year, did they really falloff? I don't know. I'm just
know we were talking about you justasked you about the stop. You were
asking about the best Cougar football teamever. They won like fifteen straight championships
in golf in the sixties and seventies. The how's the golf program been since?
It's fine? Okay, so youhave h out of the conversation.
I'll keep it to pro teams oilers. UH went to playoffs year after year

(01:12:25):
after year. But then they felloff when the starting of ninety four to
ninety five was a big falloff,right, Like they fell off when when
Warren Moon left. Yes, buthow far do they get? That's when
they fired party replace them with JeffFisher. How that older team do the
first year? So go go tothe early nineties, go to the nineties.

(01:12:47):
I'm sorry it shows up as TennesseeTitans. Oh geez, stop it
does Amy Crunk Shrunk? What doyou want me to do? She's a
witch? Right? Yeah? Theywent from Oh it is ninety three is
what I'm thinking of, not ninetyfour, twelve, twelve and four,
ninety three to two and fourteen.In ninety four, that's a divisional playoff
game. By the way, theylost to Kansas City, the home playoff

(01:13:10):
game. That was where I sawMissy rest in peace, Miss Simpson with
Marcus Harkers Allen. Yeah, Iwas watching that documentary recently. I was
watching it again. The Maiden Americatwenty sixteen thirty for thirty. Oh my
god, so good. Yeah,okay, so that's that's a major drop.
The Texans twenty thirteen to fourteen,twelve to thirteen season was a major

(01:13:31):
drop. Okay, answer his question. Long win twenty well twenty they made
the playoffs twenty to twenty one Rocketswhen Westbrook and hardin bye bye, that's
high. It was christian Wood season. That's christian Wood season. Was there
even Christian Wood. Yeah, thatwas the big for agent signing, wasn't

(01:13:54):
it? Or big relatively speak?Yeah, No, the Astros would win
it, So hopefully they don't winit. I don't want to talk about

Fact number fourteen. I was onthe White Sox in two thousand and five.
Yeah, sorry about that, sweeph town. We're all good right

(01:15:39):
now. Right back to your lunchtimechampion Matt Thomas back on Anything Goes Friday
at seven one three, two,one two five seven. Did you see
the crowd in Detroit yesterday? Andagain the people guestimate these things. It
really is a guestimate, yes,but they kept adding to it. They

(01:15:59):
said, the last estimate they hadfor the number of people two hundred and
seventy five thousand people attended the draftyesterday and downtown Detroit. That's insane,
that is that they're saying, that'smore than when Nashville had that. In
Nashville had two hundred thousand, twohundred and seventy five thousand people. Now,

(01:16:20):
there were some people from out oftown each of the thirty two teams.
I'm in theory or I don't knowif the Texans had anybody there in
the day one, but they hadtheir small fang groups. Some were larger
than others. And if you coulddrive the Detroit you were obviously a lot
closer to the situation. But that'sstill two hundred and seventy thousand Detroit de

(01:16:41):
Trinians. Now, I don't knowwhat they call Detroit, Detroiters, Detroiters,
whatever, you know. I guesspeople but that. But I haven't
been. I've there since the lateseventies. I don't know. But that's
a lot of people. Ross Wecan't do two seventy five in Houston.
Detroiter's is accurate. No, No, I think so Field the two Hundy.
Okay, it feels like we couldn'teven do that, But I don't

(01:17:03):
know. I think Dallas would havewould have as would have very zero problem
getting to two hundred easy. Howabout the boys? How about them cowboys?
Stupid cowboys hands? I don't know. I guess I'd have to find
out from somebody. I don't knowthat anybody's ever been to one of those
things, but it's it's like afestival in theory. So if you've been

(01:17:25):
to a festival, you've been tojazz Fest. You know how I happened
that I've been to Coachella as well? Yeah, what do you what do
you think forgetting about those events?Just being around the hundreds of thousands of
people? I don't like it now? Is it because you're just old and
yeah, out of touch? Butthat there had to be different age groups

(01:17:47):
of everybody there. Yes, Imean if I would imagine. But if
you're away, if you're like,do you see the crowd and you're like
literally two hundred yards back of thestage, what are you doing there?
What are you there for? Ifyou're not up unless you're just being a
part of crowd part I mean,look, when presidents can inaugurate or when
elections, they go to the verylike when Obama won, they went to
Grant Park at Chicago and put amillion people out there. I mean,

(01:18:10):
so, yeah, are there isthere a certain collection of people that just
want to go to just a superbig rallies just to say they're there and
kind of soak it up. Igot we got a million? Did we
get a million people for the AstrosWorld Series? That they said? Yeah,
that feels a lot. That's alsolike a mile long stretch. And
then also when you're a control atCoachella or a jazz Fest or whatever,

(01:18:30):
if you know whoever is on stageone, there's ten other stages. You
can go get in the front andyou can go park in front at the
Blue Stint, the Jazz Tint,the whatever stage. Yeah, the chanteda
stage, but there's only one stageexactly Coachella. There's a million tens and
a million stages. Yeah. Theone thing I saw that I thought was
really cool, and again I wasjust glancing throughout. Did you see the

(01:18:51):
Rams put a football field on thebeach? No, you gotta go see
a picture of the Rams draft party. Okay, they headed on beach.
What are they playing? No?And then why did they put a football
feel on the beach? Couldn't makeit look good? I guess, Oh
you don't they put grass on that. It looks super cool. The Pacific
Ocean just for party purposes. Itunsteady, Yeah, I'm sure it was,

(01:19:16):
Yeah, of course. Okay,yeah, this is great. You
know what, you don't want toYou don't want to be with the people.
Ever, it's fantastic. It lookscool. I mean, I'll be
honest, I don't think if thecity of Houston had a downtown event like
that. The beach looks so muchbetter than Galveston. You gotta get okay,
don't do that. We're not going. We're not going to this card.

(01:19:38):
Oh I'm sorry. Well, HermosaBeach doesn't look as good as Galveston.
I mean, don't have to town. We all know. Don't rub

They say one point seven miles estimatedcrowd of two million. How do
you do that? Who? Whoestimates? Is that somebody in a helicopter
going, all right, that chunksthousand, there's twenty those chunks, there's

(01:25:40):
fifty those chunks of ten. Idon't know. That feels probably you do
square mileage and then how densely packedthose square miles are in then estimate.
I would like to know who doesI mean, whose responsibility is that?
I don't know how because people dothat all the time. It could be
a you could have a protest,yeah, in front of Georgia R.

(01:26:02):
Brown an estimated crowd of blank.I want to be that guy because nobody's
gonna change. You can't count thoughyour math is not good, maths good,
my good. My math is goodup to algebra two exactly? Is
it? Though? Yeah? Idon't. I didn't do well in jo
and geometry, but no, algebratwo was fine. Okay. Meanwhile,
the same emailer and I want togive a shout out to this person that

(01:26:25):
did this. This was from Coreysaid that they asked me. In between
four hundred and seven hundred thousand fanswere at the parade in Arlington for the
Rangers. You know why because theCowboys I practice. My estimated was the
one hundred and seventy seven people.Yeah, that was including the players in
the staff. Yeah, players staff, the Walmart employees, the Applebee employees,
Yes, Arlington shot ever. Shoutout to them because they bought they

(01:26:50):
got the stadiums built in their inneck of the woods and they're making a
lot of money off of that andthey also paid a lot too. Texas
Live is very nice, yeah andpricey. You know what I'm for,
what I'm ready for and I we'llget to the textans here in a second.
I'm ready for a Texan Live esqueplace in Houston. Well, don't

(01:27:12):
hold your breath. You're ready fora Jim when's Jim Cran gonna do some
of the bar? I heard aword about that. That parking lot's still
his. Yeah, he's like,I gotta pay these Josh Haterer contract.
Give me a momss. That's it'snot big enough. That plan of land
is not big enough. You canknow you can build it up if you
do something, but absolutely you're gonnabe going lengthwise as compared to with Yeah,
you can build it up number oneand number two. There's enough.

(01:27:34):
You just need a couple of restaurantsand a couple of bars. That's that
you can fit. I mean thereliterally was two bars right there, and
then there's all that room behind itas well. I think you can you
can get comfortably two restaurants and twobars. That's all I'm asking for.
I don't know what you're asking for. Yeah, but if you're trying to
put forty thousand people forty thousand people, if you're trying to get if you're
trying to get one thousand people,that's not two bar. Two restaurants,

(01:27:57):
two bars won't kind of for ay, if you get a like, yeah,
you can get a big space.Okay, I still think it's not
big enough with that, but youit's your landlocked, so nothing. Yeah,
I was gonna say, you gotnothing else to do? You ready
for an unpopular take? Yes,week days twelve to three, let's go
what about this? Now? Idon't know the Edo area particularly well.

(01:28:19):
Okay, although I know that thereis real estate over there. Yes,
I know it's still crime ridden overthere. What if we did that for
the Texans and built the mis stadiumover there and made it their room.
I bet you could find all thatreal estate's going up. I don't think
the Texans are gonna move you.You don't think the Texans would not and

(01:28:45):
are not completely envious of what probablyhalf the NFL has in terms of a
full on place to go and hangout. Well, why did they build
where they did in the first place? I imagine because the land was cheap
and was cheap, plus it waswhere the dome was, and they thought
two thousand and two they could thatbuilding Energy or whatever it's called now Reliant
now energy was going to bring abunch of stuff in that area, and

(01:29:08):
it's not. Has it no,the Timmy Chance is out there. Get
plenty of massages over there. Well, Timmy Chance is over there. And
there's that one Papasitos too. It'salways busy, Rappa Ritos, Lachos.
There's a Loachos over there. There'sa bunch of are they opening the inside

(01:29:30):
because the one by me that theystill haven't open since the pandemic. And
there's a handful of make it phonelocations to make it phone okay, yeah,
or perhaps boost mobile which brings youhell atill bringing to us. Somebody
just give them for the freebie.I feel like cold give them a free
probably. Okay, back to mybigger issue. Okay, we're not going

(01:29:53):
to the area around Energy is notgoing to be used for anything else except
for the stadium of the rodeo.That's it. Yeah, the destination.
I don't know what. Are theyunhappy with it? That's a question for
uh Hannah, Oh yeah, doesn'tcare. We are very happy with the
area. Don't. If you're gonnado a terrible cow, which you typically

(01:30:14):
do, you had to say thatwe're excited at least five times. That's
one of his favorite arts. Wecould not be happier with Nick Cassio and
these new jerseys too much Gump whatI told you so, there's no Gump
speak. That's just how Cal talk. No, he does not. If
somebody can do a better cow,please call the show because I want this,
this this version of col out.It's just Gump. It's not Cow.

(01:30:38):
What I never What are we eventalking about? You know, I'm
just doing Cal McNair doing Hannah McNair. Cal I told you do not speak
until I tell you to speak.Wh would you say that, cal give
it a black card. There's myhand pretty good, it's truth. But
let me tell you she's she theone that's in charge of this PR turnaround.

(01:31:01):
Run it by me. Cal Isaid to run it by me first.
Why would you say that? Yeah, whatever you're doing some burgers hand
out. Whatever you're doing, keepdoing it. He's doing right because your
image has gone a complete one eightin the last twelve months. I said,
down to be a good boy.Okay, Now to the Texans.

(01:31:21):
Oh sorry, uh no, onepick in the second round? Uh huh?
Two picks in the third round?Correct my mind? Oh it's a
two seconds and a third. Iknow there's three picks that. Oh look,
you could be right, it doesn'treally matter. It does matter.
It does because here's the reason whyI said didn't matter, because who's he's
got an itchy trigger finger? Excuseme, I said it slowly? Did

(01:31:45):
you get that? All right?Very careful? Itchy it's it's uh Nick,
you see Yeah, two first roundersforty and fifty nine, two second
rounders, second rounder? Yeah?Would you trade forty two and fifty nine
get to thirty three? Well?To get who to get what? I
don't know. I'm just saying thereif there was do you at the end

(01:32:06):
of the night, do you thinkthey'll start they'll stay at those two selections.
I just all I know of ofwhat Nick has done in the past.
Nick likes to make moves. Icould see I'd be stunded there where
they are now. I wouldn't beshocked. Well, they probably wouldn't.
I mean to move up with tenspots in the second round, is it
really going to cost you another secondrounder? It might cost you one of

(01:32:26):
their extra four fighters. They gottwo seconds at third, two, fourth,
two, six, two, seventh. Okay, so let me let
me done the question done. Willthe Texans first selection today be it forty
two or do you think they'll goa little higher. That's a great question.
I'm gonna say higher me too.I think I think it's just a
gut feeling, gut feeling, andthat there are so many primo defensive players
still available this early in the draft. Let's face it, ross there might

(01:32:51):
be six players and you can justname them. You can go back and
look and see who you want.There might be six players, Rossie that
might have thought they were going tobe first round picks, but because of
just because of the fact there wereso many offensive players that moved so quickly
between quarterbacks and wide receivers, theygot just bumped down because so many teams

(01:33:12):
in the first round went after offensiveskill position players. Yeah, if kool
Aid mckinstree falls down a few morepicks and they're really in love with him
and they want to be set atcornerback, I could absolutely see them trading
up and trying to get him.If there is a cornerback they think can
be the real opposite Derek Stingling,then go grab him. Is there any

(01:33:36):
party Houston that thinks they're going togo with an offensive player? Do you
attack running back in the second round? You might be you can justify that
at forty Rossie, you might getthe best running back at forty two.
Jonathan Brooks, you mind, legend, Let me ask you this. If
you get the best player at yourposition, at a position that's available,

(01:33:58):
of a position at need at fourforty two, does that not mean you're
doing your job properly? Because howmany times in the NFL history books have
you ever seen a team at fortytwo get the best position player available.
Now I'm not using kickers, yeah, I mean not using punters. Sometimes
running backs can be leaned some yearsas well. Is Jonathan Brooks slated to
be a second round mid second roundselection? I would say somewhere around there.

(01:34:23):
Yeah, Now are you saying,Matt don't go after me? You
got Joe Mixon? I wouldn't saythat Joe Mixon is the long in the
tooth. Joe Mixon's a dimeond doesn't. Now hopefully he's not. Hopefully he
is as good as Devin Singletary was, if not better, because you certainly
put a lot of money in hispiggy bank, and you also traded for
him. M m No, youdidn't give up much, but you still
made a trade of trade Jonathan Brooks. He did tear his acl Middle of

(01:34:46):
the Year list. You tell meyou're you're our factor, You're our Texas
insider. How do you like him? I like Jonathan Brooks a lot.
I think he's there's a reason thathe's the number one back on the UH,
on most people everybody's list. Ithink he's consensus number one running back.
So help me ay also is Imean, he can do zone end
gap, but he's mostly I mean, and it's mostly zone year in Houston.

(01:35:10):
So if I get the third bestcorner in the draft or my favorite
running back in the draft, whatwould you want to do? I think
I would prioritize defense. I thinkyou got my whole. So I still
think you still go defense. Istill think you're you're still very much unsettled
in your second part. I thinkthey have to come out of this draft
with at least one defensive tackle,if not two yeah, seven one three

(01:35:30):
two one two five seven ninety sevenone three two one two five seven nine
zero. We've got non Flora storiescoming up. In fifteen minutes. We
have a hell yearn out of twofifty. We have one final opportunity for

area. Oh no, yeah,what do you mean, Like what I
like, go to different stuff?Okay, Like you know what what out
of towners would do to come meetpeople, come see some kids, go
down and go to a couple ofbaseball fields. Do you feel like we
should just give them a couple ofbucks and say, go out and do

(01:36:58):
something different, liven things up alittle bit. What do you mean,
I don't know, go find someslumpbusters in Mexico. That's what people were
calling for in the postgame shows.I gotta be honest, It's not the
worst idea in the world I've everheard. Okay, although who's even single
on the team? Well, i'lltwo married too late married your married?

(01:37:23):
Bregman married Ray? You married yeon your I don't know, don't know.
Uh, Kyle Tucker's engaged. No, Kyle Tucker, I believe got
married. Okay, Sovia, Butthen you know what, you can't go
to the slumpbuster card. I meanyou can't, but you know you have
to. It's not not endorsing that. Let's see top fifteen things to do

(01:37:45):
in Mexico City. Go number onethe Museo Nacial nowadays ANTHROPOLOGI pass. You
don't want to go to the anthropologicalmuseum now No, mine culture. I
don't want the guys to fall asleepin the museum and stuck in there.
I think it's fascinating. I wouldlove to go to that museum. Chapultepec
Castle. Nope, learn about Mexico'sfascinating history at Chapultepec Castle. Continue Palacio

(01:38:12):
de a bash that so it lookslike I think it's an art museum as
well. Can I just say whatI would do? What's in the hotel
and sleep and watch some of thosenovellas. Museo frieda Carlo. You can
go see free de Carlo's works.They got a lot of music. I
need to go here. The restaurantsin the museums look like they're top notch.

(01:38:36):
Not a lot for you to do, Matt, I don't think there's
the uh All my Children Museum ishere. We're Young in the Restless Museum
either. Is there really a SoapOpera Hall museum? There's gotta be there.
I mean I would go. Yeah. Well, here's the problem.
I have watched too many stories.The Classic Soap Opera Historical Museum is located

(01:38:58):
where I don't know. I've watchedat some point in my life, Young
and the Restless General Hospital, Young, Bold and Beautiful. It doesn't say
where. It is a little bitof one life to live. It's no
longer what it is. It's justa Facebook page. Oh we'll get you
to that, stop said, Iclicked on it. Sorry, you know

(01:39:19):
what what that's your million dollar idea? A Soap Opera Hall Official Historical Soap
Opera Museum curated by Matt Thomas inKingwood, Texas well. The People With
Place is easy to get to It'snot hard to get you fifty nine an
easy freeway. Who's been complaining aboutthe commune every day? Me because I

(01:39:40):
work down here. But if Iwork as a curator, Tom if Inner
Continental fifteen minutes away fifteen twenty twenty, King would drive? Okay, maybe
what if it's five pm? Canyou not help my cause? Here?
Point being is this we're talking aboutNew Mexico. We're talking about the astros

(01:40:02):
trying to get their minds off ofI don't know. I'm running out of
ideas. I'm running out of Thisis never supposed to have been a seven
and nineteen teen. I understand nineteenand seven i'd been. I'd been more
than happy with that. Hell,I would take five hundred at this point.
They can take the luchat libre experienceMescal Tasting ninety five dollars a person.

(01:40:26):
When I was in Mexico City,I could not find a chilies fast
enough. Really, Oh absolutely,It's supposed to be one of the best
food cities in the world and chilies. Do you really think you really think
you really think you're a digestive trackinghandle Mexico City? Yes, not mine?
Shot, not mine? I mean, let me have a tuna fish

(01:40:47):
sandwich and water. I'm good togo. You better make sure it's bottled.
That's right, bottle excuse me,bottle of water and tuna fish sandwich.
No, man, it's just gostraight out of the can from us.
There's like ten museums in here inthe top fifteen. They're not going
to museums? Why not? No, you don't, Jose or Katie with

(01:41:10):
the team. I think Sean Dubman'sa museum today. Why wouldn't he.
He's probably trying to figure out howHe's probably looking at some hardware store.
Maybe he's a big fani. Bythe way, Freedo Collos Art. Can
we give props for ourselves? SeanDubman on The Matt Thomas Show, Sean
Dubman giving you all those scorelessenings thatwork a couple of days back. No,
I think it's silly to sports empty. I think it would be foolish

(01:41:30):
to act like a phone interview wouldhave anything to do with his on field
performance? Is that right? Yes? Go ask Ross Villeral about that five
years ago. See what he wassaid about I was making jokes and then
unfortunately people took it two way tooseriously. So I'm shoving right back at
him. It was a series ofunfortunate events. Though it was a series,
but was getting hurt. We gotit fixed, and let's go over

Jeremy Pinia, hotest hitting shortstop AmericanLeague Baseball. Yeah, but he's slumping
right now. I don't care,it doesn't matter. Okay, we'll see
what happens. But yeah, Imean yeah, it would. He would

(01:42:14):
be an absolute fool to think thatsome sort of radio interview is really going
to affect the on field pod.I don't know. There are people about
five years ago up in my businessover and over and over again. Didn't
give me, cut me any slack. I cut you a bunch of slack.
Mm hmmm. I dropped the bitfor you. Thank you very much.
Let's see. Jeremy Pania is twofor his last well fifteen mab he

(01:42:36):
needs to repeat appearance on the show. He was hitting, was really hot
until he until weeks off. Whatdid you have him on? Oh?
For very first Tuesday this season gotto a great start, got his home
run, draughted eliminated. Well,he's hitting one thirty three in the last
four games. That's okay, it'llturn around. He'll be fine. I've

i'll exit. It's five dollars atsubway. Perfect, perfect, and I'm
done. That's my nonflor stor.Oh my god. You can't tiptoe and
be scared of the own your ownstory that you bri had. I had
to tiptoe around it. All right, Well, I guess you're not the

(01:48:14):
first. All right. Anyways,let me take you folks to a place
in Ohio. Here and I can'tfind the exact city in Ohio. I'm
just seeing Ohio in general. Letme tell you about a young lady,
well, who's not so young.Her name is and Mayors, seventy four
years old. Unfortunately, and Mayorshad been scammed out of some money,

(01:48:41):
and she was in desperate need,so she took a loan out from her
sister for five thousand dollars. Shetook another loanout for someone else for sixty
five thousand dollars. Low on cashand with no idea what to do,
seventy four year old and Mayors decidedto rob a bank seventy four and rob

(01:49:02):
a bank. Yes, in theFairfield Township of Ohio. She walked to
the a financial credit union and demandeda teller turn over some of the bank's
cash while brandishing a gun. Police, of course, were then called.
She made away with about five hundredbucks, and she was tracked down by

(01:49:26):
police, immediately confessing saying quote,I did whatever you're here for. When
asked to be more specific, shesaid, quote the robbery. If convicted
for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, she could face up to fifteen years
in prison. She was by herselfduring this. Yes, she got five

(01:49:48):
hundred bucks that didn't seem like greatvalue on a robbery, and she is
in Butler County jail unless she canpost one hundred thousand dollars bail. No
criminal record. According to so firsttime criminal offense is gonna get you how
many years in jail? Fifteen yearsand seventy She behaved herself for seventy three
years of her life, and shecouldn't behave herself the last year shranlow in

(01:50:11):
cash and went for a bank robbery. Thoughts compeers to her, wishing her
the best right, that's your nonFlorida story. Yes it is, thank
you, Connor. We've got aseventy four year old bank robber. We
have a British man who's well endowed. What do you got? I feel

(01:50:34):
like mine fails in comparison to bothof those. But we'll go to New
York City where a Tunday Annakoye andNigerian chess champion played chess NonStop for sixty
hours in Times Square an attempt tobreak the Guinness World Record for the longest
chess marathon. He surpassed. He'sa kid, right, Uh No,
I think okay, never mind.He surpassed the current chess marathon record of

(01:50:57):
fifty six hours, nine minutes,thirty seven seconds, which was twenty eighteen.
It hasn't been confirmed yet, however, him and his opponents Sean Martinez.
Uh. They played sixty hours straightand for every hour of game played
they only got five minutes break.Hm hmmm, So they played a NonStop
for two and a half days.I know Ross likes to play chess,
but I actually do. I've donetwelve hours straight, twelve hours straight at

(01:51:20):
chess. I have never played chessin my life. Same is it an?
Is it a thinking person's game.Yeah, I mean it's you got
to be creative and you gotta haveit's like memorization. It's very frustrating.
Let me say, don't do it. First. I was gonna say,
comparing chess and checkers is ridiculous,right, absolutely one ridiculous. So give

(01:51:41):
me. If chess is a thinkingman's game, give me the next lower
level thinking man's game. Is itcrossword puzzle? I would say it's similar
to I don't know, like poker. I mean it's a board game.
Maybe Othello. I think go.People compare it to Go when I don't
really know the rules. Go,Okay, it's better than say Uno,

(01:52:03):
I love Uno. But yeah,I mean there's all four chess in getting
in the chess is no matter howgood you get, you're just not gonna
be one of them. Unless you'rean actual genius kid, you're just gonna
hit a plateau and you're just gonnabe frustrated. You know what. I
would say, honestly, kind oftell those kids that go outside and play
have some fun. Don't don't liveyour life that way. Yeah, it's
and well it used to be backin the you know, about ten years

(01:52:25):
ago. You also made no moneyplaying chess. But now there are a
lot of profitable streamers chess streamers withTwitch and stuff like that that they can
make good money if they're one ofthe top chess players in the world.
Go take a walk, go breesome brief. Literally in the world,
there's like fifteen hundred or sixteen hundredgrand masters, and those are the only
people that are going to be makingany sort of money streaming, and they're
still not making much money. There'sprobably like one hundred chess players making good

(01:52:48):
money in the world. So don'tdo it. So let's you know,
how about you and I play somesome Gin Rummy. You in for that
gin Rummy? Yeah? I likegin a lot the drink. No,
