Speaker 1 (00:02):
Lunchtimers.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
This is The Matt Thomas Show, twelve one.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
In ahe town dude.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Morninster rippers and welcome to a Friday edition of The
Matt Thomas Show with Ross Sis Sports Talk seven ninety,
which is.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
First of all, way too long, but you know what,
I'm gonna be too long and too short.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
You poor baby. Hmmm.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
That's it feels like clip and you love dudes on dudes,
but they'll be zero percent chance I'm gonna be googling
dudes on dudes.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Zero percent chance they say, we suck yourself, let's sun it,
let's go stuff together, let's go have fun, suppy, you know,
let's enjoy it. And that's I think what we did.
I think we did that as a team.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
You know what I feel like a dirty poor Yankees
did in the World Series.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, you are a dirty Foxes like. I got zero
problem with that.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
And then Kevin Harlan started dropping booty on us, so
I didn't know what the deal was. I don't follow
any famous people on Instagram. Rossie, Okay, why are you
on there all day?

Speaker 5 (01:17):
Counter hear that? You know what that was?

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Rude? I'm just kidding. God, the shade that you throw
at me walk complete.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
See your face wallet, well completely accurate.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
It isn't Anything goes Friday, which means we're gonna pass
and discuss some take this five mile against Green Bay Packers.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
We're gonna break down second team D line versus first
team O line. Let's go. We're gonna break down cornerbacks
versus slight receivers. We cuss and we discuss on Sports
Talk seven. I love it.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
It is and I mean this in all sincerity, and
anything goes Friday, anything goes, and that includes discussing why
the Packers are going to beat the Texans on Sunday
or why the Texans will beat the Packers on Sday,
because that is the essence of it. Anything goes Friday.
It can go either way. You go you know what,

(02:23):
Typically you go both ways? No, I'm usually one way. No,
I've heard the flip flopper. No, you go both ways,
the back and forth guy, not at all all Right,
Ross is a little under the weather. You look like
absolute crap. Thank god we're not on space any network.
Is that different from the rest of the week. Well, yeah,
I need to get my We're gonna get our our

(02:44):
makeup crew in here like they do for Adam and
the other atom they they do put a lot of
makeup on. I mean, my gosh, we call I think
we call one of them lip and gloss. Yeah, it's
like your great grandma getting ready for a funeral in
here now.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
A lot of makeup.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yeah, a lot of work there on that show. So
they we're not on television yet. I don't know if
we'll ever be on television. I don't think so. I
think the people at Space City were like, you gotta
be on. They need they need the ratings hit between
noon and three. We're gonna we're gonna try to help
the folks out eventually. What's on there now? I don't
even know where their moat is. Oh, it's over here.

(03:22):
I'm going to guess it is probably an infomercial. It's
not the repeat of the Rockets Austin repeat is is
probably the favorite. Honest, we had this channel on. We
do have direct TV, yeah, we do. It hasn't been
scrubbed just yet. All Right, what's it called. It's gonna
be a while. It's called it might be a fishing show.
Let's see what if we turned it on it was us,
that'd be hilarious. Can somebody turn them by accidents? You

(03:44):
guys want to get on that bad huh? Okay, I
see how you are. Spacity Network. We love those folks,
great people, love their oh just fantastic. But I mean
it would be in their best interest to put our
show on there for sure. Craig Akerman a huge fan.
Oh what is the replay of the Spurs Rockets yesterday
in the World Highlight League. You can at least get
us on the alternate where the World Highlight League is on.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Oo yikes.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
So you're telling me World Highlight is more popular than
Space City yes than our show would be, well, at
least in Miami.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I have been a highlight one time in my life,
and I bet on it you did. You went to
a game.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
It's very confusing. I don't remember how to do it,
but I don't I remember it not taking a.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Lot of work. It seems dangerous, ironically enough, do you
know how I went with John McLean?

Speaker 4 (04:33):
No, I've never done anything with John mcclin except maybe
be in the same room.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
We've never done anything socially ever together.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Okay, but I mean you continue to push that narrative down,
which is fine. I went with I did an arena
football game in West Palm Beach, Florida, back in the
mid nineties, and Dan Patrick, our lieutenant governor right now,
he and I went to a highlight place. Okay, so
I know that Dan likes to gamble a little bit.
I don't know if he's in for proposing it for

(05:02):
the state of Texas. Now, was he the one that
was getting indicted or was that somebody else. I don't
think Dan's ever been in dit on anything. Okay, at
least I don't. I Ken Paxton, what's that guy do it?

Speaker 1 (05:15):
I don't think.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
I don't think he does Highlight. Maybe he was betting
on Highlin and that's how he got in the hot water.
But now I'm watching it, and now I'm actually, you
know what, I think Highlight might be better than the
show today. I'm fascinated by this. I don't know what
they're doing, but it's a huge bet bit. I just
don't know how to I forgot how to do it.
It just looks like a racketball, except instead of rackets,
they got these big, old giant highlight basket And you

(05:38):
said it. What you do is you watch this game
in a theory like that, turning this off forgetting to check?
Can you focus on the show?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
But I was going to cuss and discuss highlight.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
We're not cussing and discussing highlight. Can't not in the
first segment. I know anything goes Friday.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Come on, come on?

Speaker 6 (05:55):
Field rasons Jordan Love? Is he good enough? Is he
the best quarterback they face this year?

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Like Tamiko, Ryan says, have you ever dated a traveling
textan person?

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Hm?

Speaker 4 (06:07):
How bizarre are those dudes? And a free income? They
spend it all on trips to Green Bay.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Well they're not. They're not going.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
Man, maybe a few, there had to be some. The
group's not as big as it used to be. Well,
the bottom line is they don't go because they're rooting
for the team. They're rooting because they want to get
on camera. That's what they do. They dress up like
every week is Halloween and they just want to get
on camera. Well, Halloween is coming up, it is that's
every fan base has people that just want to get
on camera. Matt, why are you always why are you hating?

(06:34):
I don't hate the Texas. I do hate traveling Texans. No,
I only love can conquer hate. I love you, Matt Thomas.
I hope you're having a great day a year mess.
I'm giving you a hug. If I weren't sick, i'd
give you a hug. I want you nowhere near me.
I'll go matter fac I'm gonna go home and do
the show from the Kingwin Studios because I don't want
to get sick.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Well, I think I got Rockets games next week, and
I'm gonna wape this whole thing down for Adam watch.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
I know.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Oh, he's not gonna be happy with you. I know,
all right, and then goes Friday. Here's how it works.
You will call seven one three two one two five
seven ninety seven one three two one two five seven
nine zero. You can talk about the Texans and Packers game.
You can get into what you saw last night or
heard between the Rockets and the Austin Spurs. That's like
keep calling, because there was no assemblance of a real

(07:15):
Spurs team except Harrison barneses out there.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Did they cover the eight and a half?

Speaker 5 (07:18):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (07:19):
I tuned out by the fourth n or six minute
time out? They did? That's good, it was quick. We
can get into Georgia v. Texas, Yes, we can get
into everything that the SEC was going to give Texas
and Oklahoma and then some it's such a powerful conference.

(07:39):
Every weekend there is this super marquee game and certainly
no no disrespect to the ACC and no disrespect disrespect
to them.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
You always say with no, and then you wind up
doing it with no disrespect to the mighty Big twelve. Yeah,
the SEC is and I even think more so than
Big the Big Ten. Honestly, mm hmm. It just there's
gonna be at least one or two matchups per week
that are gonna down to the wire that are gonna
be highly entertaining. I spent we were in the New

(08:09):
England States over the weekend, and I spent more time
looking at Ole Miss LSU that I whatever would have
thought of. Don't have a dog in the fight. Great
football game. SEC is king and it ain't even close.
It'd be fun if if the Texas Longhorns their first
season in with all this talk about the prestige of
the SEC, would.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Be able to win it in their first year. It'd
be nice.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Hopefully it can happen. Why, I mean, they're gotta be
a favorite to win. I would imagine, not only when
the Conference, when the whole thing. We've got a tough
schedule coming up, starting with Georgia this weekend. Yeah, you
didn't go well. Oklahoma was supposed to be kind of tough,
but they suck. No, they were terrible. All right, So
we got that to get to today. If you want
to get into the Rockets game from last night, if
you want to get into what I thought was and

(08:49):
I didn't see it because obviously I was calling Rockets game,
but some high drama last night in Cleveland between the
Guardians and the Yankees. Yes, we're gonna play the John
Sterling home runs when the Yankees went back to back
and then John Sterling, it I believe he's eighty one
or eighty two years of age, was starting to rhyme

(09:09):
and do a bunch of poems on home run calls,
and then all of a sudden, the Guardians come back
with a dramatic home run to win that. So we'll
play some of that highlights for thank goodness. Please come on, Guardians,
Let's go Mets.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Geez.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Meanwhile, the Mets are just basically non competitive against the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
They can win three in a row. All right, everyone,
let's work on this. Together.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
What it's easy for me. Let's go Dodgers. Oh no,
let's go Mets. Oh yeah, yeah, that's easy. That's easy.
Let's go Mets. Zero though, let's go Mets. They're not
winning three in a row.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
They're not.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
They haven't been competitive in days. I know, They're just
not good enough. What else we got going on? ROSSI
we have?

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Oh, we got Doug Russell from the Patriots Radio and
Patriots the Packers Radio network's gonna join it o'clock. Let's go.
We'll have non Florida stories today at two thirty. Okay,
and believe it or not today at two fifty. Okay.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Category is Lambo green Bay, green Bay proper not Milwaukee.
I think we should do just the city of green
Bay and lambeau Field.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
How about questions about Greg Cook, green Bay Packer Hall
of Famer, questions about the things he slayed when he
was in Green Bay? Yes, and also two days before
our fantasy draft he dropped outther league.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Believe it?

Speaker 4 (10:29):
You know, you know you tease me about what I
think the average Green Bay Packer fan looks like.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
I think if you tease them, if.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
There's anybody in the world that would know what it's
like to be with a Green Bay Packer female fan.
It would be him, Yes, it would, and he'd probably
verify what I was saying a little bigger, not much bigger,
but just a little bit.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Man.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
The Uncle Greg stories on air were great. The off
air story off air stories financially better are significantly better,
especially with the girls in the eighties hair you know,
Oh my gosh, all right seven one three two two

Now on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Anything Goes Friday continues at twelve twenty one on The
Matt Thomas Show with Ross seven one three two one
two five seven ninety seven one three two one two
five seven ninety Ross thoughts, Alziz al Shaier and Henry
Toatour are not practicing today Texanville. Uh, that's going to

(13:38):
be hurtful in the run game. I think they're very good,
especially when you have the guys in the middle house.
Fully thought of Cossi doing He's back out there. I
believe Mario Edwards has gone yep four gamer. Oh, let
me ask you this about that. I'm glad you brought
this up. We're in twenty twenty four. Yes, we are
in a mode where coaches, administrators, general managers, strength and

(14:05):
conditioning player personnel. They consistently almost daily, tell these guys listen.
If you don't know what you're ingesting, or don't know
when it's in it, what it's in it.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
You don't ingest unless you ask us. Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
Mario Williams did not ever announce Mario Edwards or Mario
Williams or Mario Edwards.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
I don't it don'tly matter who they are. Mario Edwards
did not say, hey, I took a blooh blah blah
blaah blooh. I thought it was for this, for pain.
I thought it was for this. I made a mistake.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
I apologize and I will serve my time and I
will not let this happen again.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
He went recreational. I mean, we can, we don't know.
We don't know for today.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
I don't know, definitely, but I think illogically thought of
non explanation followed by four game suspension means he probably
had a good time and decided he wanted to enjoy
something to kind of make him feel better. Okay, I
don't know sure. My point is, what are you doing, dumbasses?

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Seriously? I would say.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
NFL players are flawed human beings, and everyone's a flawed
human being to some extent, and people think they can
get away with stuff, and maybe he's done whatever he did,
and he got away with it five.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Times, and then he got caught this time.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
People drive home drunk and they don't get caught in
the him that one time they go and get a DUI. Also,
isn't the testing isn't a random mm hmm, all things
you're saying. Alright, So he was getting away with whatever
he thought, and he thought he was going to continue
to get away with.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
It, and he slipped up.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
And perhaps your best example is people do drive over
the legal limit. May not be significantly over the legal limit,
but it's going to.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Be over the legal limit.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
I think anybody our audience that has ever partaken in
a couple of beverages in our life probably have been
behind the wheel and shouldn't have been. I think I
don't think anybody that I know of in my entire
life has ever said, oh, I've lived my entire life
with never going, never getting in the car for having
one too many. It means it means we got lucky
that we didn't hurt anybody, or we got away with it,

(16:22):
whatever the case would be. But when you're in a
very public world like an NFL where you have seventeen
opportunities to do your job. This really hurts, yeah, Or
I mean the other alternative is maybe he is on
some sort of juice or steroids and then he didn't
follow the instructions properly on whatever cycling he was supposed

(16:43):
to do.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
I don't know. I mean, we could just speculate, and.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Speculate would be that would be performance enhancing drugs policy, right,
and not the substance abuse part.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
Right.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Oh, it's correct, So then yeah.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Maybe he was just on I think cocaine is supposed
to get out of your system very quickly, and maybe
it didn't, or I don't know if it was marijuana.
But it's funny. We almost feel like it happens to
every team every year, and generally speaking, we usually get
the I took this, this, and this not knowing or

(17:19):
was told by somebody that it was going to be okay.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
We've heard word zero from him.

Speaker 5 (17:25):
M hm.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
So it's four games.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
He's never married Edwards, never had this issue before, so
hopefully this is a lesson learned. People are allowed to
be make mistakes and be forgiven for such mistakes as
long as they don't repeat themselves. Oh, this says NFLPA
dot com says they do not test for THC. Okay,
so that knocks off one potential thing. It's for point

(17:49):
ping is this. I'll be learning from it. But every year, Rossie,
it feels like we've got somebody that's just doing this
and saying I didn't know or what was I thinking?
And we've heard zero about this situation.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Hmm. Now I'm confused. Don't worry about It's not the
big of it. I'm reading. Why am I reading the
nflpa's policy.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
I mean, because you're bored your fault. Yeah, I am bored.
You're boring me.

Speaker 7 (18:14):
No.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
Uh, it says for the Substance of Abuse Annual Test,
it will not test for THHC.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
But I guess they can for whatever the PES test is.
What does that mean?

Speaker 8 (18:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
You're going down a road. I don't I'm trying to
detour from. I'm trying to figure out what he did.
You brought it up.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
I'm just saying, whatever he did, he's guilty as charged.
Didn't say I'm gonna file an appeal against this or
I can't believe. I mean, everybody has been super tight
lipped about it, and frankly he's needed right now, right
m I.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Mean anybody losing anybody.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
It's any sort of pass rusher on this textas team,
especially when you're going against a team like the Packers,
you're gonna want to post much pressure on the quarterback
is humanly possible.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
So now he is down for four weeks.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Okay, pes and performance enhancing substances, which does test for
TE for THHC, but the substance of abuse test does
not test for THHC. So if he violated substance of abuse,
he was not tested for TG at THHC.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
It was something else.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Maybe he you know what, Maybe he pulled him Forrest
Whitley and took some adderall.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
We don't know.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
But if he took adderall, would you want to announce that?
Would you hide all? Would you make an announcement? I
don't know what the policy is. I don't take adderalls.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
You tell me.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
I don't think adderall is considered a taboo medication. I
think if it's misused, clearly it is. But do you
have to make a statement if they didn't say what
the substance was, or are you allowed to make a statement.
I don't know what this is, but it seems like
stuff with the PA and the But I mean, we've
heard nothing. Usually hear about something every single time this happened.
Is that I don't know, like, I'm sorry, I'll do better.

(19:58):
Catch in a month, peace out deuces nothing, not that
I think that the average Texan fans out babarano. Oh
what happened to Mario Olverards point is he's gone for
four weeks. Yeah, you'll be back in four And I
think it's Josh Jacobs season this weekend. No to hote oh,
no Sha year.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
So I'm just gonna say, oh, Mario Edwards underdog fantasy,
might I want to fire the over on that. I'm
not trying to give you any ideas underdog fantasy promo
Code Sports empt just.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
Saying Texans run defense has been one of the best
in the business. But those are three key pieces missing
from their run defense. Yeah again, I have thirty to
twenty Packers on Sunday, okay, and you have it as
I don't remember what I said, U thirty three to
thirty one Texans.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
So the reason why you're taking the Texans in all
seriousness is because you think that this team has just
got the moxie to win games are not supposed to win.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
And I could go with that. It's a three point game.
It's not like they're supposed to get thrashed in this one. Yeah,
But I think anybody who looked the schedule going in,
knowing that with the Ackers were gonna do that, they
probably thought this was one of the mean you can't yeah,
you can't win.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Everyone.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
I guess you thought they lose to the Buffalo Bills,
and they beat him and they made Josh Allen look
like a chump. So I'm feeling now the defense, like
I said, is it's gonna it's gonna have some issues.
Kamari Lassiter remains out. I mean, we're talking about four
four of your regular starters out right there. So yeah,

(21:25):
so I feel confident thirty to twenty. I think it's
gonna be a high scoring game. But I don't Here's
what I don't want. I don't for the Texans fans
that listen to us. I don't want it to be
like a Minnesota repea because then people are gonna be like, oh,
this was just a fraud, fraudulent team. But because they
do have quality wins, Buffalo winning the game is a
quality win in Nanapolis is frankly better than maybe we
thought they were after Week one.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
You beat up on the Patriots like you're supposed to do.
Is uh Shahi.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Alexander was limited in practice yesterday, so that should help
if he continues to be out and I think, to me,
with Joe mix I'm not scared of now. The Vikings
defense is quite stead if you believe the text makes
the mac they're complete deep, They're not unstoppable, but to me,
they're a top five offense in football with Joe Mixon.
So that basically means if you have the Texans, if

(22:13):
you think they're going to win this game, that means
you think that that team's going And I'm not saying you,
I'm talking to anybody it's going to think that when
it comes down to it. Our offense is more more
high octane than what Green Baking throw. And I think
Jordan Love is more prone to making mistakes and turnovers
than C. J.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Stroud is.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
All right seven one three two one two five seven
ninety seven to one three two one two five seven
nine zero. Look at those lines. Let up for the
Texans calls coming in. Oh man, you got me excited.

and it's a hated one. Who's the greatest Charlotte Hornet
of all time? Alonzo Morning, Larry Johnson. Yeah, I mean
there's your list. Spud Wet he was a Hawk? Are
you thinking of the Muggy Bogues? I don't know, Yeah, Muggsy.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Randall and sugar Land on Sports Talk seven out of
your twelve thirty six.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Randall, good afternoon to you.

Speaker 5 (25:39):
Hey, good afternoon, guys.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
I've heard the first show, the second show, and your show.

Speaker 5 (25:43):
Give your predictions for the Houston Texas Green Bay game.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yes, my prediction all the time. Kyene fair Baron with
a field goal.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
I like that, You know what, Randall, that's not crazy.
If there's anybody that I mean, they have a significant
kicking battle. They're gonna go with Brandon McManus for the
Packers this week, Rundon mcmonis.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
And everybody's overlooking that.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
No, I don't think it is overlooking that.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
I think everyone's going Kymie Fairbaran is one of the
Kymie fairbars would be an all pro kicker right now.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Nobody's overlooking him.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
Okay, yeah, and uh he rose to the Hall of Fame.
That's all I have.

Speaker 7 (26:20):
M M.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
You know what, we really never did much of a
deep dive into that. I'm gonna have I don't know
if it's an unpopular opinion. He was betting ten g's
a game.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Did him out?

Speaker 4 (26:32):
I'm sorry, you can't be in the Hall of Fame.
You broke rule number one. Sorry, you knew what the
rules were. You broke him. Get out of here. Here's
my stance. I one agree with you on that, but
my caveat is if he would have fessed up and

(26:54):
spent the latter years of his life apologizing, doing something
of maybe one percent remorse, then I probably would have said, Okay,
enough of a penalty, let's go. There are people in
the Hall of Fame that have done much worse things
than bet Although betting is about the number one cardinal sin.
It's the it's compromising the integrity of the game is

(27:16):
shulis Joe Jackson's not in the Hall of Fame right always,
or any of the black socks.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
But the argument you could have is, I'm not trying
to play Devil's advocate. The argument is that.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
He never bet on sports as an active player, and
when you go in the Hall of Fame is he
wasn't going on as He wasn't going in as a contributor,
He wasn't going in as a manager. He was going
in as a baseball player. The ultime king, I guess
I can. I can get that argument, but I'm betting
on as a manager is worse to me, is worse.
You're setting your lineup, you're picking your your relievers, you're

(27:46):
saving maybe if you didn't bet on him, you don't
go with your best leverage guys. The day you did
bet on you try to win a little bit more.
That is absolutely compromising the integrity.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Of the game.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
Yeah, But the end the argument that would be does
the punishment fit the crime? And my argument was you
could have if he would have spent ten fifteen years
saying I goofed I'm sorry and apologize to anybody on
God's green ear at to say how sorry he was.

(28:16):
But the only way, the only time he ever ever
fessed up ross when he was trying to sell a book.
He was trying to make money on top of making
money exactly. And so you never got the public sentiment.
Those that said no chance, no way, no how, they
never thought about flipping an opinion on it because of
the fact he just never could say, yeah, I did it.

(28:40):
At the end of the day, hall of Fame is
reserved for the best of the best of all time,
and Pete Rose is one of the best of the
best of all time. He just doesn't have a plaque
and he wasn't in. He didn't get an induction ceremony.
Other than that he's a Hall of Fame. But I
don't bet I calibert I don't think the Baseball Hall
of Fame is going to say now that these devil
put him in, so he's never going to get in.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
That'd be kind of funny, though.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
We wish he was here out to celebrate. This is
a little bit of the spit on the grave. We
waited till he died, We wait until his body was cold. Yeah,
and were welcoming in with open arms. All time leading
hornet score by the way, Matt kemball walker, What a
sad franchise? Del Curry number two, Gerald Wallace number three.

(29:23):
Terry Roser is fifth on the all time hornet scoring list.
What a sucky franchise? Glenn Rice six, Muggsy Bogue seven.
Can you I'm gonna have you have believe it or not?
All thinks Charlotte, Hornet's ready for Wednesday or Wednesday? Yes,
I don't know, Like I said, Tuesday last night too,
and I know it's Wednesday.

Speaker 5 (29:40):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
How was a half hour edition of the Nightcap?

Speaker 4 (29:42):
It was great, talked to Little Texan, played some Bobby
Slowik audio, and then it was kind of a mini
launch pad in the second segment going into Rockets coverage.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Listen, listen to my calls and I'm what did you
listen to my call?

Speaker 8 (29:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (29:54):
You know what.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
I sat around, I got a I got a campfire going,
and then we just we all sat around with make
some'mores and listening to your calls.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
And I recorded it for the segment. God bless you.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Seven one three, two one two five seven ninety Let's
talk to Jimmy in the Woodlands at twelve forty one.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Hi, Jimmy, Hey man, what's up buddy?

Speaker 7 (30:14):
How you doing?

Speaker 8 (30:14):
Man?

Speaker 1 (30:15):
You tell me, how's your weekend gonna start?

Speaker 5 (30:17):
Be this?

Speaker 1 (30:17):
You're going to You're going to Green Bay?

Speaker 8 (30:19):
Yeah, I got a surprise. My son's taking them up
to Green Bay.

Speaker 10 (30:22):
This we can see the Texans play.

Speaker 8 (30:24):
So where's like some.

Speaker 9 (30:26):
Cool spots to go hang out and watch Texas Georgia
before we watch the Texans beat up on that Green Bay?

Speaker 1 (30:31):
But are you are you staying in Green Bay? Are
you staying in Milwaukee Green.

Speaker 8 (30:36):
Bay in Chicago and then driving the Green Bay and
staying Green Bay?

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Wow, you must have a rich sun because the Green
Bay hotels are not cheating that before a game.

Speaker 8 (30:46):
No, they're not. That's all we're flying in Chicago.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Yeah, yeah, Uh, Honestly, Green Bay has nothing. I don't
I've not been enough to tell you where to eat
and drink. I can just tell you it's not what
you would think it's it's about it's the far the
least cosmopolitan city and professional sports, meaning that it's got
the charm of basically Lufkin. Yeah, Now, are there good

(31:11):
bars and restaurants there, absolutely that would take you a
quick YELP check on that. But I've been to Green
Bay twice, but I literally drove in, got to lambeau Field,
watched the games, and then drove back to Minneapolis. So
I can't tell you where the places were to hang out,
but I'm sure you will be able to find some
sort of There's a Packers Hall of Fame, which is
kind of cool. If you have time to go see that,
you can go see our buddy Greg Cook.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
He's enshrined in that.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
Uh and tell you what.

Speaker 8 (31:37):
Would the world needs more Charlotte basketball?

Speaker 4 (31:41):
Oh, no question, Jimmy, there is not another radio there's
thank you for. There's not another radio show in the marketplace.
It's gonna give you more Charlotte Hornet's talk than this one.
And maybe they know what they're doing better than this show.
No one on our show sucks, you know what more?
Gerald Wallace Tuck. Oh, by the way, Nick sends me

(32:04):
an email Glenn Rice. Duh Is Glenn Rice the greatest
hornet of all time? I still say alms of morning.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Why am I the minority on this? I mean heat?
Was he there long enough? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Maybe what a tough that's tough for that, Franchi. It's
been around that long. Glenn Rice's greatest conquest Ross. I
know this because you've talked about it before. But Morning
was a hornet only from ninety two to ninety five. Okay,
so I will take him off the list. Does anybody
know Glenn Rice's greatest conquest? You're speaking sexual of course.

(32:43):
Oh I thought it was like being one of the
all time great three point shooters. Well, he was a shooter,
all right, you well, I don't know. Are you just forgetting?
I'm forgetting. You've told me before, you've specifically brought it
up to my attention before. I'll let people think about
it and see at the Coppin. No, but you're getting warmer.

(33:04):
He might have been there, seven might have been down
that road twelve forty four on Sports Talk seven ninety
seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven ninety If you know,
if you don't know, you'll find out next. The greatest
conquest of Glenn Rice's life seven one three two one
two out of his life, at least in his young days,

(33:25):
twelve forty four, Sports Talk seven honety.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Coach Stark here, touchdown Texas.

Speaker 11 (33:31):
You've got sports Talk seven ninety Houston's hold of Longhorn football.
The Matt Thomas Show continues now Rossi.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
The year was nineteen hundred and eighty seven. The Michigan
Wolverines basketball team played in the Great Alaska Shootout. Remember
when those college basketball ternaments used to mean something, those
really you know, like Maui Invitational, and there would be
this a couple of Las Vegas feels Great Alaska, which
I've called too Great Alaska Shootouts you did, yeah, Okay,

(34:05):
I've been to Anchoraged twice you have. Yes, Basically it's
Salt Lake City, but just it gets darker a lot sooner.
Was it all dark or all light? No, it was
you were going there was like a mushroom cloud was
over the city. So it was light from about nine
in the morning till about three in the afternoon. Okay
that sounds depressive. So it was during Thanksgiving week. So

(34:28):
in nineteen eighty seven, there was this great player from
Michigan named Glen Rice and uh, yes, oh.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
This is this is coming back.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
You've told this story before, and uh he happened to
introduce himself and this woman introduced himself to Harry. She
was a sportscaster in Anchorage. Okay, uh, and they hooked up.
Her name was Sarah Palin, so he was nailing Palin.
He got his great great Alaskan shoot out there too
as well. Oh that feels graphic, you said, Nail and Pale.

(34:59):
What's the difference? What you said is worse than what
I said?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Hey, are you new here? It's every time, no matter
if it's true or not. That's fine.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
So you're telling me that sports female sports reporters hook
up with male athletes. I've never ever won in my
life ever heard that. It's never behind the scenes, heard
of that.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Not once. There is one that's really creepy. And I
can say it publicly now, okay, because there have been
photos of them together. Okay.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
Arthur Blank is the owner of the Atlanta Right. I
gotta check how old he is, real quick, Arthur Blank.
He's got to be in his eighties. We're close. Arthur
Blank eighty two, eighty two. He has been seen arm
in arm with a woman named Jen Hale, who used

(35:54):
to work the Pelicans sideline reporting for the Pelicans TV network.
She doesn't do it, she works on Fox Now. She
does some Fox NFL Sunday. She used to be like
the what would you call what U host? Studio host?
When when Skip Bayless was doing the TV show Okay,
cold Pizza, or when no, no, this first take, not

(36:17):
first take, this is unscripted or whatever, when it was
with him and Shannon Sharp oh, undisputed, undisputed, and the
two of them would fight, and he'd have this woman
on there that would like throw on the topics out,
kind of like what our girl does on ESPN now
Molly Carraen. Oh, she's fantastic, by the way. That's a
different issue. Jen Hale has been dating, or has been with,
or has had some sort of relationship with Arthur Blank.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Hmm, Jen Hales, it seems she seems nice. Jen Hale's age.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
Looking at she was born in nineteen forty forty six,
so he's eighty two, she's forty six.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yes, she's smart. He's a winner.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
Good for Arthur Blank. He may have lost that Super Bowl,
but he's a winner in my eyes. He tries to
win with the Falcons. He spends a lot of money,
He makes a concessions cheap over there.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yeah, he does awesome. Yeah, you put it, but he
took it.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
He put a Chick fil A inside the stadium, and
they're not open on Sunday, So what's the point of
giving a Chick fil A? And you can't go to
a Falcons game and enjoy it when you go for
the SEC championship every year.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
That's true. That's true.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
So unfortunately, most of the stories you hear about women
hooking up with athletes that are reporters, I would say
probably seven times out of ten they're true.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Not every time. That's seven out of ten. I'm staying
away from that. You wouldn't disagree with me though I
didn't listen. Did you hear me say more about it?
Not a word?

Speaker 4 (37:51):
And There's so many more stories I could tell, but
I can't verify them, so I just can't say anymore.
Hello Joe on the Matt Tomo Show with Ross at
twelve fifty three, Joe, what's going on?

Speaker 9 (38:00):
Hey? Hello, I just want to make a couple of comments.
First come in is I think pets can still win
with our Niko, but they get their cut back on
their penalties, especially on third downs. Whether your defense or offense,
you cut back on those penalties on third downs. And
we can still win this game. Uh, pe brows. It's

(38:21):
too bad he didn't have somebody to blame that Latany did.
That's what I have.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
Oh so there's some old there are some Otani gambling
truthers still out there.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Oh, let's go. Doesn't it make you sick that how
good he is as a Dodger? It does make me say.

Speaker 4 (38:39):
It was charming when he was an angel and he
would do all those things and then lose. He would
have three bombs and he would go out and throw
six shut out and they'd still lose. They're down seven
to five in the eight to the Royals. It was fun,
it was harmless. It was great because then he would
come to here. He would come to Houston multiple times.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
You'd get to see the greatest show on Earth and
the Astros would win. It was perfect.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
Now he's what the Dodgers going to get a ring
and they're deferring nine to nine percent of his contract.
So it goes back to a basic question, and we
mentioned this today. He signed the contract. If he's deferring
gauzillion dollars at a seventy million every year, why isn't
every team deferring it? You need to get to somebody
to agree to that, to show Otanan you agreed to it.

(39:20):
But but if you know that money's coming your way,
that's stupid. You don't think you don't think the Brewers
are going to go out of business financially, it's it's
the Dodgers, yeah, or any team for that matter.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
It's financially.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
It's stupid because in theory, sixty eight million dollars this
year is going to be worth much more what it
is in fifteen years, and you can grow that money,
invest it and when you add an interest as well,
you add an inflation and interest. I mean, I don't
know what the exact mathematics are. I'm not an economist,
but that's that's sixty eight million that he's giving away
is costing him millions on the back end. So it's

(39:52):
not necessarily the teams are willing to do. It's more
like the player, what are you thinking? That makes sense?
A lot of people want their money up front, absolutely,
he or Notice when a coach gets fired in college
football and pro they usually say, hey me, bitch right now,
don't defer in you this, yeah, unless they're there are
sometimes is contract language. It'll be payed over a certain

(40:12):
amount thin Jimbo's getting paid for. But I can tell
you for a long time coach at the University of Houston,
like I, I mean a check talman, give me the
money right now and you can suck it. Get vacca
red bull, and I gave up on recruiting a man.
Have a bunch of excuses over the years. Cut the check, tailman,
say at the bar.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Why is Jim Adler cutting checks for tillman from tilm
I didn't do this one, that's true. Let's go to
uh Mike in San Antonio on seven I think and
twelve fifty six Mike, Good afternoon, Good.

Speaker 8 (40:44):
After anything cost Friday. Since you mentioned Oani is an
his contract money guaranteed? I mean, I know that he's
getting a form a small amount of sorry, but did
he get like a guaranteed payment? Is anything guarantee? Where

(41:05):
he got a bunch of money? And then I know
they're deferring on the back end for salary, but do
you know, I'm just curious.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
Well, I'm sure he's getting something. I mean, they can't
be paying him zero, but it's I think if Ross
is accurate, Well.

Speaker 8 (41:16):
I know the salary is small forget it's like a
million or two million. But I just think he's.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Deferring sixty eight out of seventy.

Speaker 8 (41:22):
I think man okay and Man at LSS was of course.
I don't want the year the Dodgers to win. And
I caught the end of it and just it's just
a fantastic scene in the playoffs. If Pete Rose, I
have a few topics and I'll make him quick as
I can't Pete Rose, I had the idea that he
should go win, but you guys convince me otherwise of

(41:44):
listening to I agree with you. I don't think he should.
He should be in the hall.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Texans.

Speaker 8 (41:49):
I'm really concerned. I don't think they're going to win.
I mean, they will see how they do, but it's
going to be tough for them. And I actually do
have a question Matt and and Ross about the Rockets.
So what have you seen from them if you've seen
anything now, I mean it's preseason. I haven't watched them
at all. They seem like they have the same team
going in hopefully they're going to make it into the playoffs.

(42:12):
Also on the schedule the first week of the season,
they're playing the Spurs back to back, and I think
they only play them four times, And why do they
do that if I don't know, if you know, so,
it's early in the year and it just cut a
schedule falls.

Speaker 4 (42:27):
Oh, it's terrible, Thanks Mike for the phone call. They
play them three times in the first ten games of
the year. They play a back to back in San Antonio,
which makes absolutely no sense. Yeah, they started the back
to back thing when with the COVID pandemic, right, Yes,
which does make sense when you are traveling to far places,
like if you're playing in Portland twice, if you're playing

(42:49):
in Sacramento twice, if you're playing in LA twice against
the same team, it makes all the sense in the world.
Why you would schedule a back to back with San Antonio,
who is an easy place to play, especially in a
back to back situation, Like I think you should play
back to backs against all your division opponents because you know,
in theory they're close to where you live. Yes, I

(43:11):
think wasting to back to back with an opponent that
you're playing twice is just ineffective calendar management. And I
know it's a tough job. Matter of fact, I don't know.
I don't think it's a tough job. I think it's
an impossible job. The algorithms and trying to place everybody,
it's got to be very, very difficult. So somebody's gonna
have just kind of a weird, wonky schedule. Playing the

(43:33):
Spurs three times in the first ten games and then
not playing them again until early March seems ridiculous. You
play them four times, you play everybody in your own
division four times.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
So I don't know what they're doing.

Speaker 5 (43:43):
Now.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
That's busy week for me because Saturday Friday they play Memphis. Okay,
we fly to Santornial to play the Spurs the next night.
Then I'm driving back to Houston on Sunday to call
A and m versus Houston Cougar's basketball. You are on
a ESPN Plus you are Yeah, I'm so proud of you.
That's awesome. And then going it's a good game, and

(44:03):
then fly they're not playing the Stetson halves. I know
it's stunning, our Lady of the Lake. I know you, Maddie.
I'm beaming with pride that I know that.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
Is cool, dude. And I'm driving back to San Antorni
into the Rockets game on Monday, so it's next week
is a super busy week, but worth it.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
Yeah, on Houston, I'll do that one. Hell yeah, that's awesome, man.
Either two games ones against Toledo and ones against Troy.
That's cool, well not the other one sometimes.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
Check still cash.

Speaker 4 (44:30):
Yeah, So all right, we're gonna play some highlights of
the We'll break Oh, come.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
On, y'all, give me a break.

Speaker 4 (44:38):
Goodness, it's Friday seven one three two port Connor's like,
come on now seven one three two one two five seven,
Natty seven one three two one two five seven, Nintie,
We're gonna play, uh Connor, give you extra chance to
find some great music to play behind these Yankees, Cleveland
Guardians highlights and he's already given me the double rods.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
And that that's not fair at all, my friend.

Speaker 4 (44:57):
What is fair is a delicious dinner at Big City

Speaker 2 (45:37):
Yeah, lunchtimers, this is the Matt Thomas Show.

Speaker 4 (45:42):
Want too swung on a hit of the air the
center field endep that ball is high, it is.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Far, it is gone. Stanton and Judge have it. Home
runs a back to back and a belly to belly
and the Yankees take the lead. Shine Car Nulcy Post
follow the Homers and.

Speaker 8 (46:05):
He and Judge hit him back to back hide a
three eightheest runner at second, two down, ninth inning, am
the one o pinch.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Sway in the hammer deep talent.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
How did hit hide hit deep tigus.

Speaker 12 (46:31):
Dam home the god to run home run to the
bleachers and left by David Fry and the magical twenty
twenty four season is done by any means Zavelin with

(46:52):
a seven to five tenth Anning win.

Speaker 4 (47:02):
I think of the Drew Carey TV show when I
hear this. I never watched one episode because I don't
find him particularly funny. He's got my dream job. Yeah,
I'm a hater this, I admit it. I used to
like that show, but I also as a kid. I
don't think it's I haven't watched it recently. What was
his occupation.

Speaker 12 (47:23):
He had?

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Like a he had a regular desk job, didn't he?
I don't remember.

Speaker 4 (47:26):
The ugly woman was on the show with him, but
she had all the makeup on meanie.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
I don't remember what his job was.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
Honestly, I guess I should was a memorable show then
basically I see how you are.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Uh, that's funny. I'll try to find it.

Speaker 4 (47:45):
I don't think the Guardians win the series, but for
one night, to stop the New York hysteria of the
Yankees are the greatest things in Slice Bread. It was
kind of nice to see that not only a full
house at I think it's called rare and ted rate
real and to have that in the Milton Cold Night.
A bunch of home runs dramatic winning makes you miss

(48:09):
posts in baseball, does it not.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
I don't want to talk about it. We miss it.
I mean honestly, we as sports hosts missed it. No
disrespect to the Texans and Green Bay game is that's
a really gonna be a fun game to watch on Sunday.
Jim Dantz, my close personal front, would call them play
by a play, But I'd rather be thinking about Game
six the American League Championship Series.

Speaker 4 (48:31):
I'm sorry, I'm busy. I'm locked in trying to find
out what Drew Carey's job was. He just works in
our office, that's all it says. We'll figure it out.
What now, playoff baseball? Yeah, it sucks, and it's gonna
be the Dodgers and Yankees, and that sucks two of
the highest payrolls in baseball. Evil empires. Well you throw
the Mets in there too. It's another halationis money talks.

(48:54):
That's why if you are anti big establishment, anti just
spend to spend The Guardians Rangers spent half a billion
dollars to get a ring last year, and well it worked. Yeah,
they spent a half billion dollars to get a ring
and they put together like forty nine dollars for a parade.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
It was really odd.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
It was very bad. Worst parade I've ever seen. I mean,
I've seen WNBA parades more organized than that.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
Bad Boy. Well, I don't know about that. Stay with you.
Who you got the finals?

Speaker 5 (49:23):
Matt?

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Who's playing the Liberty and the Links?

Speaker 5 (49:26):
Links?

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Okay, I believe it's a linx. I'll take your word
for it. If we were, if we were in like Charles,
you'd be betting on it because you know you like
to bet WNBA. Why not because you don't know one
player from either side? I lost the Yeah, I do.

Speaker 7 (49:42):
So.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
Brina ion Escu, it's on the Liberty. Do you think
I'm going to check you on that? Brianna Stewart's on
one of their teams. Yeah, I think so. All right,
so yeah, good luck Guardians, but just continue to rehearse
and say, let's go, let's go Mets, let's go. Guard
You're not coming back. They're not, we can hope.

Speaker 4 (50:03):
Not only are they not winning the Dreams, but they're
getting beat up in their home home field.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
I mean, have you seen that Dodgers lineup? God, it's terrible.

Speaker 4 (50:13):
I know, Shoe Otani is awesome. He makes the Dodgers
eat filthy. Mookie Betts is finally hitting.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Can we talk about that?

Speaker 4 (50:23):
Why isn't anybody screaming at Mookie Bets to be a
cheater about being a cheater? He was on the seventeen
Red Sox and the eighteen Red Sox. That's two time cheater.
What's the deal? Why isn't anybody making Apple Watch jokes?
Phil Alex Bregman and Josel twova would be a lot
of trash can jokes? Where are my Apple Watch jokes?
Where are my references to him being a cheater? You

(50:44):
know him two times? Part of it is I think
Muki's a decent dude.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
What Josel Twovay is the sweetest human being to ever.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
Walk the planet? I know, but Mookie does. Jose doesn't
do a lot of interviews. He doesn't He's never really
come to his own defense or Muki be like you
can such a bum messes up?

Speaker 5 (51:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
I don't think it's fair either. I mean, trust me
on this, it's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
All right, when we return to this amazing radio program,
we're not gonna be gone very long. I have found
someone who has some insight and analysis in the Texas
Georgia game that you're gonna listen to. Really, yes, from you,
not from me, from somebody else. Okay, I think this
person would deem himself to be a Texas football expert. Okay,

(51:30):
we'll have that plus a very recognizable college basketball coach
suddenly retired yesterday and you get one guess, and one
guess only why he retired. Couldn't hang So we'll have
those two topics coming up for you in the next
a few minutes two o'clock.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Doug Russell's going to join us.

Speaker 4 (51:52):
From Packers Radio to give us a thought or two
about the green Bay Houston game on Sunday two thirty.
My nonm fluid a story today is about an airline trip.
Like sixty percent of your stories are about airline trips,
I would say closer to seventy ross. What is today's edition,
I believe it or not? All things about the city

(52:12):
of Green Bay. By the way, we have a friend
of the front of the show send us. There's a
couple of places you can go hang out in green Bay.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Uh. One is called let's see here one look real quick.

Speaker 4 (52:24):
VI. Those who are going to Green Bay this weekend,
which I don't think of very many. Because the packers
sent the tickets of the textan sent the tickets back.
I'm trying to make the screen bigger and I forget it.
Seven one three two one two Here it is uh
Badger State Brewing Company is what place to go? There's
a place called Stadium Bar view Bar, and there's a

(52:44):
as a Ruffalo raw Rings also close by. Are you
serious to the I told you Green Bay has got
the term of lufkin.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
I really did.

Speaker 4 (52:52):
I'm not kidding you, And I tell you this seven
one three two one two five seven ninety seven one
three two one two five seven NINTI and then goes
from continues after I tell you about Game Day Men's

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Matt Thomas return on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 4 (54:19):
On Sports Talk seven ninety. All right, so we're trying
to fix the audio up. The audio I sent Connor's
not great. The person that sent this put this on
his ex account. Ross needs to stereo up a little bit,
if you know what I'm saying. Okay, he's got incredible
insights on his beloved Texas Longhorns. All right, So Tony

(54:39):
Bennett not the singer who passed within the last one
year and a half two years, May he rest. Longtime
successful coach at Virginia won a national championship at uva
uh huh uh suddenly retired yesterday and then I guess
had a little media get together today to say the
reason why I'm getting out is because I just can't

(55:01):
handle the nuances of the job. And the nuances are
not two three zones calling a plan of the timeout
one to three to one box and one recruiting to
get a six y nine power forward who can put
his back to the basket. H the nuances and I'm paraphrasing,

(55:23):
here is the transfer portal. And Nil is killing my
love for the sport. And when he initially announced his retirement,
he's only fifty five years of age. People will sign
an extension, like, yeah, twenty days ago, it was going
to keep him to twenty and thirty. And people thought
his age was fifty five and that there was nothing

(55:44):
that would be hopefully nothing medically that was going to
preclude him from keeping the job.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
He just said, Nil's killing me.

Speaker 4 (55:51):
I'm sorry he's signing extension in June twenty days is
when the season starts. Yeah, same difference. Yes, So you
can only have two philosophies on this philosophy.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
One is.

Speaker 4 (56:08):
Either you're in with the boys and you get down
and dirty with it and you go with it or
you get out, or option B or philosophy B would
be we're driving some really good human beings that are
good coaches, that want to win, that want to play
by the rules, that want to get into sport because
they love to coach and teach young men, or losing

(56:31):
them to things that have nothing to do with things
that are on a basketball court, i e. Practice, ie workouts,
i e. Drawing up game plans, that kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
I have a conspiracy theory because I think, honestly, not
to interrupted, I think we lost Nick Saban to nil,
which is weird because well, he says, no, I don't
believe him.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
Okay, Well, he said it was because the negative recruiting
against him was always that he was going to retire.
When was he going to retire? I was going to retire,
and he didn't want that question looming over the program.
So that was one of the reasons that he retired. Also,
he knew that the Texas Longhorns were coming into the
SEC and he was scared. I like, that's that seems

(57:15):
a little okay, God, But I like, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
So let me ask you this.

Speaker 4 (57:19):
It's probably an il and all that transfer portal stuff
wrapped into it.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Can you say this.

Speaker 4 (57:24):
If you don't want to fight with it? And I'm not,
this is a terrible cliche. If you don't want to
fight with the sharks, get out.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
Of the water. I mean, I don't know, you can't
stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Speaker 5 (57:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (57:32):
Could you could have just be that?

Speaker 4 (57:34):
Or do you think this is a sign that we're
going to see other coaches because I can't find anybody that.
You can't google Tony Bennan as an a hole and
find anybody with any stories about it. Yeah, he is
a very widely respected coach at a very good institution
of higher academics and a team that won a national championship.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
Not too long ago.

Speaker 5 (57:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (57:55):
Tony Bennet's comments, He says he does think it's right
for student athletes to receive revenue, but he says it's
got to be closer to a professional model.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
There's got to be collective bargaining.

Speaker 4 (58:04):
There has to be restriction on the salary pool, transfer
regulation restrictions, some limits on agent involvement.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
I agree with all that. The problem is the NCAA
can't do any of that because you go in front
of the Supreme Court and you say all that stuff,
and you have if you have salary pool, if you
have agent restrictions, transfer regulations, you are running a professional league.

Speaker 4 (58:25):
You are no longer a nonprofit in the NC doablea not.
Thirty days ago, Ross said we're not getting involved.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
They can't.

Speaker 4 (58:34):
They just frankly said no, thanks, not gonna do it.
This is the unhappy medium that we had to come
to because the system has the system is needed blowing
up for decades.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
Yeah, that is with the extreme otor direction. It has been.

Speaker 4 (58:52):
It has been a professional, oh semi pro league, basically
a minor league. College basketball and college football have been
a league to the NBA and NFL for decades, and
especially on the side of college football. Yeah, you know,
I try to give analogies, and this is just not

(59:15):
my strong suit. They just generate all this revenue.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
How about this.

Speaker 4 (59:18):
How about taking a really effective chef okay of a restaurant.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
And he creates these masterpieces, and he's working with the
other younger, younger chefs okay, and you're doing all these things.
This is gonna go. It's going from bad doors. I
love this.

Speaker 4 (59:38):
I'm kicking my feet up, you shouldn't, And the owner says,
we love that you're the chef, but now we're gonna
have you hire the bartenders.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
We're gonna make you order the food, We're gonna make
you vacuum.

Speaker 4 (59:48):
He I think the new amount of responsibilities for a
head coach in this college world that we're in football
and basketball, I think is too much for a lot
of people. I frankly worry about Willie Fritz. And I
mean God's honest truth on this. I worry that Willie
Fritz is like, I'm here to coach young men. I

(01:00:08):
want to coach. I am sixty something years old. I
came here to build a football program. I don't want
to spend twenty hours of my week trying to find
cash for these guys.

Speaker 5 (01:00:17):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
Yeah, it's tough because if you don't, if you don't
bring up the cash in the conversation, these players are
gonna go bye bye. Like, my daughter has a friend
who has been who's gonna be graduating from high school
in a couple of years, and this guy is gonna
be probably he's gonna probably have twenty Division one offers
to play football. And she said to me to day
she goes, where do you think he's gonna go? I said,

(01:00:40):
probably where the biggest on al deal was gonna come.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
In.

Speaker 4 (01:00:46):
Academics may matter, facilities may matter, the honeys that will
recruit them will may make a difference a little.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
Bit, a little bit, but it's gonna come down to
what can you offer me? And I think there are
gonna be some coaches, whether it's Willie Fritz, whether it's
who else is, whether it's Dabbo Sweeney, whether it's anybody else,
is gonna say, you know, I love this, but if
I wanted to get involved with money and everything, I
didn't go to college football.

Speaker 4 (01:01:11):
I can just go to the NFL and his coach
and just be done with it. And I don't know
if Tony Bennet's gonna ever be an NBA head coach,
but he doesn't want to do at the coleach level.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (01:01:19):
I think, and I think it's bad for the I
think it's bad for the industry, but it's unnecessarily evil.
You cannot play by the new rules then find something
else to do, and that's what Tony Bennet's gonna try
to do.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
It's just I kind of mind the d bags Leving,
but I think Tony Benn's a good guy.

Speaker 4 (01:01:36):
I don't know Tony Bennett. He could be a slame ball.
Maybe they got a notice of allegations coming from the
NC double down.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
Go google Tony Bennett' Slaine ball. See how long it
takes you to find something.

Speaker 4 (01:01:46):
Well, I mean, then I'm gonna find a bunch of
stuff about the singer From everything I read, he's a sweetheart.
So basically, you'll never be able to find anything bad
about Tony Bennett, the singer, the or the coach about
being a slade ball ben it coach.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
So ross you seem to have all the answers. No
I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
I'm gonna pretend you do for the sake of this
next thirty seconds. Okay, if the NC double A is,
you know, part of this, We're just gonna let this
thing run its course.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
What happens?

Speaker 4 (01:02:13):
What happens if the NC double A says we if
the the court's rule you're not a nonprofit, you keep
the same you do regulate how much money is lost
by the NC double A and these schools. If they
say we are going to regulate, because then everything becomes
taxed and why didn't Why why can't they do that?
What organization can do it to where they say we

(01:02:35):
are going to regulate as far as salaries and how
much money teams can make and tie it into revenues
and all that type of stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
So why don't they just do this? Why don't we
they just create a corporation?

Speaker 4 (01:02:46):
Forget about being being forget about being an NC double A,
and just create that. Hey, we have a minor league
of competitive athletes who are compensated. It all, by the way,
happen to go to the same school. And would you
have to get in partnership with the lead leagues of
the NBA and FL to a much lesser extent Major
League Baseball? But do we lose any of the charm

(01:03:10):
of rooting for a team if it becomes full on?
A lot of the charm is gonna be gone. A
lot of the charm has gone for people now. I
still watch on Saturdays when when we can talk, we
talk about Monday through Friday, we're talking about nil, We're
talking about that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
It's not how it used to be. And Saturday at
six thirty, I'm gonna be watching Texas versus Georgia and
I'm not gonna be thinking for a second about nil.
I'm gonna be watching the game. And that's the only
way that things will change if ABC and ESPN don't
send us press releases saying ratings for SEC football up
twenty four percent. Yeah and there because they are. They're
always out. And I guess what also goes up.

Speaker 4 (01:03:46):
It goes to these money deals and all the money
being made, the Peacock deal for the Big ten network,
NBC gaining huge numbers on Big ten Saturday Night. It's
all working for them. It's a haves and a have
not system as it is. But when's the last going
to have not won a national championship? Like an outsider.
But I don't even think it's for that. I think

(01:04:06):
it's just are we enjoying it? I am, But if
you were, if you were a fan of say you TEP,
you wouldn't be enjoying it, or would you. I don't
know how the miners doing this year?

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
Not good? Oh they're not. You're about to get bit worse.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
One on Sports Talk seven ninety seven one three two
two five seven onety more coming up in a moment
and hopefully some sage words from a University of Texas fan.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
About the big game against Georgia next. All right, here
are some sage words raws from a Texas football analyst
you've never heard from before.

Speaker 13 (01:04:43):
In October the nineteen two thy twenty four that a
team called Georgiable does that send their games are some
morthup stadium. That's a night game. Who fasted the fact
everyone has been at ads copy when he precate big
Tennis season, big did Edison?

Speaker 14 (01:05:01):
Right?

Speaker 13 (01:05:02):
I mean that's the team that's he we out there
and handled and teams against how league we can be,
that's who even need to play while playing them and
given them for Wars stats. There's no time for lull,
there's no time for exhale.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
Yeah, obviously that one to be hyped up.

Speaker 5 (01:05:20):
We will be way up in this game.

Speaker 13 (01:05:22):
Just gotta play at Coach Sykes, he said play smart, intelligent,
and then.

Speaker 5 (01:05:31):
That's what said.

Speaker 4 (01:05:32):
Okay, first of all, Matthew, let's get a little clearer
audio next time.

Speaker 1 (01:05:36):
Brah, it's on his phone.

Speaker 4 (01:05:37):
I guess yeah, with twelve people behind him, you're an
Academy Award winning actor.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
Right or is he not?

Speaker 8 (01:05:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
I think he won for Dallas Buyers Club.

Speaker 4 (01:05:49):
Okay, Time to Kill was also a great movie too,
one of the all times my favorite Matthew McConaughey movie.
Really yeah, Okay, Interstellar was great. Ashley Joe was in
that movie too. Okay, all right, back at it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
Yes, they deserve to die. I hope they burn and hail.

Speaker 4 (01:06:06):
Uh but pro I mean, you are the unofficial national
celebrity of Texas football. Let's get a cleaner feet next time. Okay,
and you are you as a Texas fan? Yes, every
time we break up, Matthew McConaughey, you feel bothered by

(01:06:27):
It's it's a little too much. He's become like the
mascot of the program. Anytime anything happens, it's let's immediately
go to Matthew McConaughey. So here's the big question over under.
Actually it's not one. Who will get more looks this week? Travis,
excuse me? Taylor Swift m in San Francisco.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
Hmmm she being there confirmed? Well, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:06:52):
She may be.

Speaker 4 (01:06:52):
She's turning her her her last part of her American
tour this week, the Aras tour, which she's getting a
lot of my money.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
But it's another different iss. She's like a ten year era.
How long has that tour been going on? In era
Taylor Swift tour?

Speaker 5 (01:07:05):
Dates?

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
Does she is? She performing on this Sunday? So here's
my quint.

Speaker 4 (01:07:09):
Assuming that she's there, who gets more looks Taylor Swift
at the chief S Niners game or Matthew McConaughey on
the field at Darryl k R.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
You'll probably get like three three and a half.

Speaker 4 (01:07:21):
It's also depending on how much Travis Kelchi catches the
ball or if he gets a touchdown, they're going to McConaughey.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
Oh, she can be there. She's she's in Miami tonight,
Tomorrow and Saturday. She's doing three straight shows in Miami
at hard Rock Stadium. No, she said this, says she's
got a Sunday Sunday seven o'clock. That game's on at
Sunday at three, right, Oh, I mean you know what
days are wrong? She's yeah, she won't be there.

Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
It's Friday, Saturday Sunday in Miami is a hard Rock
stdium with the Dolphins play, So that's gotta be what
sixty five thousand seats pop. Then a few days off
and then she'll be seeing my daughter on Sunday in
New Orleans. Not going to see your daughter. Yes, your
daughter is going to see her. There's a chance to
small chance you got you got her floor seats?

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
No, no, God, these hotels, these prices. She's doing three
in New Orleans, three New Orleans three. This woman is insane.

Speaker 4 (01:08:21):
Yeah, so she will miss She will not be at
the Kansas City Santrusco Game six.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
Shows in Toronto at the Rogers Center. She is banking.

Speaker 4 (01:08:32):
Lock that up, Travis, Lock that up, Lock that up,
and then go on Dudes on Dudes podcasts, on the
Heart radio on Dudes on Dudes and talk about how
you're a billionaire.

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
Wow. Okay, so let's go.

Speaker 4 (01:08:46):
Let's done it down in Matthew McConaughey appearances on ABC
this weekend over Under, is it two and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 4 (01:08:53):
This has to I'll go over This has to be
the biggest money tour, like in history, right, Correarra's tour
has to be.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
This is insane. Good for her, Okay, so let's do this.
You can maybe look this up.

Speaker 4 (01:09:09):
I'm going to try to give you a guestimation of
the biggest tours in US concert history adjusted for inflation. Uh,
sure one. Taylor's number one. Would the Jackson's tour of
the early to mid eighties be in that group?

Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:09:31):
Maybe because I remember when I was a kid, the
Jacksons came to Houston, even post when Michael was a
star by himself and then he can't.

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
Then he hooked when he was with his brothers for
a while.

Speaker 4 (01:09:43):
I could give you I brought Wikipedia has the highest
grossing tour, of course, Taylor swifts airs tours number one.
I'll give you a billion guesses, and you know you
can never guess Number two. Grateful Dead, Coldplay? Oh what
they made a billion dollars?

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
Good for them.

Speaker 4 (01:09:58):
Elton John three. That makes it, Yeah, because his tours,
but his last ever tour was like three years too.
Ed Shearon four, you two Harry styles, Ed Sheeron again.
People can't get enough of Ed Sheering. Guns n' roses
makes sense. Beyonce rolling Stones, Rolling Stones, Yeah, Coldplay, cold Play,
any good?

Speaker 1 (01:10:17):
Metallica's up there? No Coldplay sucks connor do you kind
of rock to cold Play? Songs? YouTube's up there?

Speaker 4 (01:10:23):
Nor the original The Jackson's Victory Tours. After You're talking
about eighteen eighty four. Yeah, that was the original record
setting gross is I knew how?

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
Yeah? Seven million? Tailor supposed to make seventy five million,
she's making two billion. Who made seventy five million?

Speaker 4 (01:10:41):
The Jackson's in eighty four, so eighty so justin for inflation,
what's seventy five not gonna be two billion?

Speaker 1 (01:10:45):
No, it's not. No, wow. I remember when I was
a kid, it was a big deal. The Jacksons were
going to play at the Astrodome. That was a huge, huge,
super big deal.

Speaker 4 (01:11:01):
M That's why these guys, that's why these performers won't
give up, these concertors even when they have hit some
thirty That's why Billy Joe still traveled.

Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
They have to too.

Speaker 4 (01:11:08):
They're not making as much of record sales because it's
the streaming era. Yeah, so though, the way to really
make some cash is to go out there and concert
and performing concert. All right, So back to McConaughey. If
he is the most famous rep of the University of
Texas is Roger Clemens number two?

Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
Uh, I guess Earl doesn't get down there much anymore.
No he doesn't. I mean Scotti Scheffler is gonna be
the guest picker on game Day. The actor Glenn Powell.
Glenn Powell?

Speaker 5 (01:11:39):
What is he?

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
What is he known?

Speaker 4 (01:11:40):
He was in Twisters, he's been in the New Top Gun.
He's kind of one of the hot Hollywood actors right now. Okay,
for my school, the number one national cheerleader has got
to be Jim Nantz. I don't think Randy and Dennis
Quator out there going go kug's.

Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
Randy's off the deep end. Yeah, he's really lost his marbles. Dennis,
he's out there campaigning. He's been Reagan for Donnie t.

Speaker 4 (01:12:06):
And he did it a Reagan impression for my movie
that bombed Nancy. Go ahead, you do great work. Can
you do the rest of the segment in your voice?
It was horrific, But it's so bad I'll still listen

(01:12:27):
to it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
Let's see.

Speaker 4 (01:12:29):
I just googled famous UT alumni Farah Faucet. May not
be the game on Wilson Well tried to May he
rest but he's alive.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
But he wasn't.

Speaker 4 (01:12:37):
He doesn't run around. I'm talking about people that run
around boasting about your school. No, it's gotta be Wait,
is this true? John Hamm went to UT. John ham
went to Missoo on this like, who's who's the biggest
national Missouri honk for for Missouri? I guess he starts
to both Texas and they went to Missoo. Is there
some celebrity that likes to hang out and go tigers?

Speaker 8 (01:12:59):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:13:00):
Not really mean Brad Pitt, but he doesn't really acknowledge
that he went to Missoo.

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
Wait a second. In nineteen eighty nine, John ham enrolled
at the University of Texas. He was a Sigma knew
and was arrested along with seven other students for violently
attacking and severely injuring a fellow student at a fraternity
hazing party. Hooligan's at ut. Oh, there's hazing incidents when
we're up there, for sure. Those stupid frat boys got

(01:13:23):
nothing better to do but get drunk and haze each other.
Yeah yeah, min my school is it's Jim NaN's number one.
I don't even think like Robert Wall does anything for
you of h so he transferred to Missouri after getting
deferred adjudication and a plea deal. I didn't know that
about John hamm and you guys given second chance to people,

(01:13:44):
So MISSOO wasn't his first choice, but good for him.
You know, Missouri is the second best journalism program in
the country, I believe, behind Syracuse or a Northwestern. I
believe it's Northwestern.

Speaker 1 (01:13:54):
Is that true? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:13:56):
I have known what's comin doing here. Conor, here's the
Houston guy. He came home to represent.

who loves death and black metal.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
Hmm. I mean they're making billions of dollars in their tours.
They got to be doing something right. If you would
have said name the second biggest tour in the history
of music, Coldplay would have never reached the list.

Speaker 4 (01:16:49):
No, I don't have thought the Wiggles maybe you had
more money than Coldplay. It's been a lumnae and Wiggles
to hell? Do you maybe you got to download some Coldplay? Matthew, Like,
what is the number one song? I'm going to look
that up right now. And by the way, you're still
sticking to all things Green Bay, Wisconsin. I believe it
might be all things cold Play. No, we're not giving

This is what you This is what you spend A
billion dollars on magic a sky full of stars. They
had a billion ten top ten hits. You know what,
maybe I need to put some respect on Coldplay's name
something just like this with the Chainsmokers hit number three
in twenty seventeen.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
I don't know, Yeah, I'm good. They did a Super
Bowl right, Yeah, they split like half of the with
Beyonce and Bruno Mars. Okay, do males down on their song?

Speaker 4 (01:18:08):
Well, I mean there are girl bands, I mean, or
there are boy bands. Well, they're guys. It's all dudes,
dud dudes on dudes.

Speaker 1 (01:18:15):
By the way, I got an email from a great
friend of the show to stop talking about dudes on dudes.

Speaker 4 (01:18:21):
Talked about a company about that. My army is like,
go dudes on dudes. So Alex pregnant, I was kidding.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
Is he coming back? No, he's not coming back. I
know he's not. We have to you know, we have
to do it. We have to start preparing for that.
I think a little bit. I'm prepared.

Speaker 4 (01:18:44):
What's the song? Oh, the song I'm gonna go with?
Adele someone like you. I mean, we will have about
thirty different options to go with. It's too hard to
say goodbye as will and we always are kind of
our default or someone like you might be for the
first time that Alex Brevan comes back. How about Julian

(01:19:05):
Lennon early eighties Smasher. It's uh, just too late for goodbyes.
Don't look at me that way, you know. I gotta
throw linen in there somewhere.

Speaker 1 (01:19:17):
Okay, maybe we can just stick with the hits, the
boys to them in into the road. No, we're finding
something else. We're gonna find.

Speaker 4 (01:19:26):
We're gonna have some songs with all the We're gonna
do an entire farewell day on the show where people
can cry and call it in with Why did the
Astro spend their money?

Speaker 1 (01:19:34):
By the way, I speaking of the Astros real quick
on this one. This is not on field.

Speaker 4 (01:19:38):
People are wearing me out about the name of the
new of Minute Made Park in a couple of years
or next year. I don't I've not heard anything. I've
heard there's rumors in a new window. I'd heard the
rumors for a while about the air conditioning. Have you
heard of the name of that company? I don't even
know how to pronounce it, but I remember when I
heard the rumor. It was a company I'd never heard of,
And yeah, that's it. It doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (01:20:00):
I don't care.

Speaker 4 (01:20:01):
Well, the only reason why people care is what are
you gonna call it? Can you pronounce it? What's gonna
be the new nickname? Because I've never called Minute Made
the juice box me either. I'm not a huge nickname
of stadium guy. I don't usually use it. Yeah, I
just call it Minute Made Park. I say go down
a Minute Made. We'll go down to company when you

(01:20:22):
spend the money. Yeah, I don't care.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
Like I called Tota Center TC, I don't call it
the I call it the Toyota Center.

Speaker 5 (01:20:28):
Whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:20:29):
They pay the money, and that's what the building's called.
But I but people seem to think this is going
to help the bregnant situation.

Speaker 4 (01:20:33):
No, that's money they already Yeah, allocated for their normal
operating expenses.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
The budget is the budget.

Speaker 4 (01:20:43):
Unless you can do a gofund me account and then
all of a sudden, you know, Jim Crane looks at
his go fund me account and there's one hundred and
fourteen million dollars over the next four years, and maybe
things will change a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:20:52):
Actually, that wouldn't be enough. He's probably thirty million dollars
year player.

Speaker 4 (01:20:54):
Right, Yes, going to get a deal over six years,
that's sorry, we have six we get nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
If you got a seven year deal, I win, you win.
If I got a five or less, I like a one.

Speaker 4 (01:21:06):
I think the way you win is gonna be the
one to three year deal with opt outs type of situation,
which is certainly possible. Yeah, now, front of the show,
Baylor Boem thinks you're gonna win. Yeah, but Baylor and
I have been arguing, not arguing, we'd have been baiting this.
He thinks he thinks he's getting the mega deal as well.
He's on your side of this.

Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
Well, I good. I'd rather have him on my side
than not on a baseball matter.

Speaker 4 (01:21:28):
Well, but I mean, if you met him in something
else he does, like his LSU Tigers, that's for sure,
poor kid.

Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
Let's see what else is going on. We got We're
gonna go to Green Bay in a few minutes. Talk
to Doug Russell from a Packers radio can't wait. M
mentioned the Rockets yesterday playing the Austin Spurs.

Speaker 4 (01:21:47):
By way, I walked into the concourse at the exact
same time that Victor Webbin Yama walked in. Okay, he's
two feet taller than you. He's seven foot three mm
hmm and still raise within. Yes, he'll never add any bulk,
he'll never be quasi bulky.

Speaker 5 (01:22:08):
But do you really have to?

Speaker 4 (01:22:09):
I mean no, I mean, this is the thing what
he did last year, Lan, that's well seeing that's the example.
Ralph Sampson had our first couple of great years in
the NBA, correct, but the knees got things started to
break down. That was also the nineteen eighties. Sports science
is better now, but bone structures, bone structure. I'm not

(01:22:29):
a doctor, but we had reservations about Cheded Holgren and
will he missed his entire first year with a Lee
franc injury.

Speaker 1 (01:22:37):
And that's that's the question mark. Yeah, I will, assuming
was great when he was on the floor. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:22:42):
Let me also say that. I think Pop, as long
as Pop is there is going to baby his minutes.
There's gonna be some back to back. It's not gonna
play in Yeah, I don't ever inspect Victor women. Ya'm
been playing thirty nine to forty minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
In a game. Yeah, yeah, I had to pay all
that for the Chinese basketball team.

Speaker 4 (01:22:59):
Now they have measured He was playing time in the preseason,
but a lot of that was because he played for
the France in the War in the Olympics, so maybe
that's a little bit different. He's had a lot of
wear and tear, but he's going to be committed to
a lot of world events for France, just.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
Like Y'ao was when he was with China.

Speaker 4 (01:23:13):
It's going to be that bad though, I don't think so,
because it was it was a professionally that y'all had
to play.

Speaker 1 (01:23:18):
Also, I think Yao was. I mean, for as big
as he was, he was stout, he had muscles, He
didn't look so frail.

Speaker 4 (01:23:25):
Yeah, but I'm telling you he's still very imposing. Yes,
and the reason why he was the definitive number one
selection in any even close. He looks the part, did
he who won Defensive Player of the year. Last year,
did he win it? H He was the first rookie'd
ever lead the league in block shots per game, So
why wouldn't he won?

Speaker 1 (01:23:41):
Go Bear won?

Speaker 4 (01:23:42):
He got a second. Okay, go Bear's won I think
four times. Remember when Timo was praying for Victor, Probably
for Victor there was a reason why. Yeah, franchise change.
He still got to be a better three point shooter.
He's gonna shoot as many as he did.

Speaker 1 (01:23:57):
He's young.

Speaker 4 (01:23:58):
People think in Santoine the Chris being a huge difference
for him. Really, I don't know why he's put out
to punch people in the nuts. Not gonna complain to
the referee. He's not gonna put his back to the
basket anymore. He's still a square up scoot shooter.

Speaker 1 (01:24:08):
He's perimeter guy.

Speaker 4 (01:24:09):
And the art of flopping and yelling at refs is
that what he's gonna teach us. CP was yelping at
referees last night.

Speaker 1 (01:24:14):
It's like preseason.

Speaker 4 (01:24:15):
Really, guys, have one break. We go to Milwaukee next.

Stories two thirty Believe It or Not?

Speaker 1 (01:25:41):
All things about Green Bay. Matter of fact, we're.

Speaker 4 (01:25:44):
Gonna ask Doug Russell to help us with one of
our questions for Believing or Not today.

Speaker 1 (01:25:49):
Doug is the sports director at ninety seven point.

Speaker 4 (01:25:51):
Three The Game in Milwaukee, also at WIBA and WTSO
in Madison. He is also the host of Packers Game Day.
And I believe Doug Russell, you had a cup coffee
in Houston, Texas. Doug, it's Matt and Ross. How are
you long time to hear?

Speaker 5 (01:26:03):
I'm great, Thanks for having me on, Matt Ross. Good
to talk to you.

Speaker 10 (01:26:06):
And yes, about twelve years ago, spent a wonderful year
in Houston.

Speaker 5 (01:26:09):
I love your city.

Speaker 10 (01:26:11):
Home called so I came back home, but I always
cherished my time in the Bayou City.

Speaker 5 (01:26:16):
It was a wonderful time.

Speaker 1 (01:26:16):
Great to your voice, Doug.

Speaker 4 (01:26:17):
We'd played a game called the Believe It or Not,
where it's a questions about cities or sports or heroes
or athletes. Give us something anecdotal about green Bay, Wisconsin,
the city that could either be true or false.

Speaker 1 (01:26:29):
We don't care.

Speaker 5 (01:26:30):
Just give us something, okay, something about green Bay? Is
that okay?

Speaker 10 (01:26:36):
True or false? I would say that it is the
paper capital of the world.

Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
The paper capital like more paper toilet paper capital of
the world.

Speaker 5 (01:26:48):
It is just the paper capital.

Speaker 1 (01:26:49):
And that is a believe it or not as believe
it right? Is that true?

Speaker 5 (01:26:54):
It is true?

Speaker 1 (01:26:55):
Okay, the paper write that down. That's one of our questions. Okay,
very good, all right, So let me help me out
with this. The squad is four and two.

Speaker 4 (01:27:03):
The NFC North is super competitive, so as good as
the record is so far, in the fact that Jordan
Love is back off of injury, the Packers can't afford
a slip up at least for a while, because all
these teams in the division in which you cover are
so good right.

Speaker 10 (01:27:17):
Now, right, yeah, the Packers are in last place right
now with a four and two record, believe it or not.
And they are in last place with two close losses,
one in South Pallo on opening night, a Friday night
opening night against Philadelphia where a lot of fluky things happen,
and then that other loss against Minnesota. Now we can
talk about the revolving door at kicker for this team,
but Braden Narvison, who was released this week, he missed

(01:27:38):
two field goals in a two point loss against Minnesota. Now,
the flip side of that is the Packers also got
down at one point twenty eight to nothing to the
Vikings back on September twenty ninth in Week four. But
it was still a missed opportunity. But the Vikings look
spectacular this year. The Bears, you know, they're an entirely
different team than they were a year ago. Just look
at what they brought in offensively, not only with Caleb

(01:28:01):
Williams and Romadunze, but also Keenan Allen cole Comet I
think is a great player. He's really blossomed into a
great tight end in the NFL. And they're kind of
rolling on all cylinders right now. The surprise to me
is Minnesota, the reclamation of Sam Darnold and the Lions
are the champions of the division, and they're showing why
they're the champions of the division. It's a really, really
hard division. You can't afford any slip ups like they

(01:28:23):
had against the Vikings. But Houston's coming into town, and
as you guys know right now, five to one, the
Texans are a really really good squad.

Speaker 4 (01:28:30):
All the defensive injuries have started to pile up for
the Texans. Is I'm sure you've noticed from watching and
getting ready for this game. For your side of things,
it feels like to me that Josh Jacobs could have
a really big game for Green Bay. Describe his season
so far and A has he had a breakout game?
And B could he have one this Sunday?

Speaker 5 (01:28:49):
Yeah, I think he's had a couple of breakout games.

Speaker 10 (01:28:51):
The first one that comes to mind for me was
in Week two when Jordan Love was injured, he sprained
his knee against Philadelphia.

Speaker 5 (01:28:58):
And then the next week, you know, Malik Willis.

Speaker 10 (01:29:00):
Comes in and he was only a member of the
Packers for nineteen days when he was pressed into starting
duty against the Colts in Week two, and Josh Jacobs
carried the ball thirty two times, and that was I
think the breakout for him, not that he necessarily needed
a breakout. I mean two years ago when he was
with the Raiders, he led the NFL in rushing yards,
so they invested heavily in two free agents, specifically in

(01:29:23):
Josh Jacobs on the offensive side and his college teammate
at Alabama, Xavier McKinney on the defensive side, and both
have performed at extraordinary levels. But Jacobs is younger than
Aaron Jones was and a little bit more durable than
Aaron Jones was, certainly last year, and you know, he's
had some injury issues with the Vikings certainly this year
as well, so there was a.

Speaker 5 (01:29:43):
Reason that they went with Josh Jacobs.

Speaker 10 (01:29:45):
But he's been everything the Packers had hoped that he
would be when they brought him in as a free
agent from the Raiders. Twenty six years old, still has
a lot of tread left on the tires in his
sixth season in the NFL, so the Packers feel like
they didn't necessarily get a bargain, but he's really looking
like a really good investment that they made.

Speaker 4 (01:30:03):
Talking with Doug Russell ninety seven point three the game
in Milwaukee here on Sports Talk seven to ninety and Douga,
you had Demiko Ryans earlier this week calling Jordan Love
the best quarterback that Texans have faced this year. Your
reaction to that comment, and just in general, how you
view the career arc of Jordan Love and where he
is right now.

Speaker 10 (01:30:22):
Well, the Packers have this thing where they make their
quarterbacks sit for three years and it's just kind of circumstances.

Speaker 5 (01:30:27):
It works out, happened, it has worked out. I know
there's something but CJ.

Speaker 10 (01:30:30):
Strout had an incredible rookie season, So sometimes you need
to sit for a couple of years.

Speaker 5 (01:30:34):
Sometimes you don't.

Speaker 10 (01:30:34):
I mean, Jordan loves senior season or his last season.
He went out as a junior at Utah statey through
seventeen interceptions. So when the Packers drafted him in the
first round, they saw something that obviously the rest of
us didn't because he didn't necessarily take care of the
football all that well at Utah State, which isn't even
you know what, are we at Power for conferences now,
But it wasn't even in a Power five conference at

(01:30:56):
the time, and he still struggled. But they saw something,
and what he was able to learn under Aaron Rodgers
feels like some of the things that Aaron was able
to learn under Brett Faire fifteen years prior to it.
So his career arc is very similar to the last guy.
Now I'm not saying that Jordan Love is going to
have a Hall of Fame career. I'm not saying that
he's not, though either. Packers fans have been extraordinarily blessed

(01:31:17):
with more than thirty years of Hall of Fame quarterback play.
They feel like, based on the second half of last season,
when Love played as well as anyone in the entire NFL,
that he can duplicate that. I think that is a
tall order, but we also saw it once the first
year that he was the starting quarterback, and we've also
seen it in spurts now that it appears as though
his knee feels like it's close to one hundred percent

(01:31:40):
from when he's sprayed it against Philadelphia, So as far
as his career arc, it feels similar. But he also
isn't Aaron Rodgers. There's this kind of narrative that's going
on in Wisconsin among Packers fans that maybe there's just
a little bit of Aaron and maybe just a little
bit of the gun slinger from Aaron's predecessor as well.

Speaker 5 (01:32:01):
Sometimes Jordan doesn't.

Speaker 10 (01:32:02):
Always take as good a care of the football as
Jordan doesn't take his good care of the football as
Aaron did, and maybe there's a little bit of Brett
in him as well. And if you can combine those
two guys and come up with Jordan Love, I think
Packers fans would be happy with that. But again, that's
a tall order for anybody to have, much less somebody
who's only in his second year as a starting quarterback
in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (01:32:22):
And on the flip side, your outside view of here
in Houston, we love CJ.

Speaker 1 (01:32:26):
Stroud.

Speaker 4 (01:32:26):
I mean we think he's somebody who's starting to enter
that top five conversation with quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 (01:32:31):
How do you feel you ce J. Stroud from your side?

Speaker 5 (01:32:34):
So he's been great so far.

Speaker 10 (01:32:35):
I mean it is still early in his career, just
like it is in Jordan's. I think that quarterback play
has never been better in the NFL right now, and
you've got some extraordinarily talented young players that are playing
that position, and you see it with other quarterbacks around
the league that you know, or other teams around the
league that are trying to find that next guy. I mean,

(01:32:57):
you look at everything that the Jets gave up to
get Aaron Rodgers because they felt like they weren't Zach
Wilson wasn't going to get the job. Done, even as
a number two overall pick. They invested incredible draft capital
in him. Wilson obviously didn't pan out as a number
two overall pick. You look at all the quarterbacks that
the Chicago Bears have brought in as high draft picks,
whether it was Mitch Trubisky trading up to get him

(01:33:19):
at number two, you know, justin Fields as a first
round draft choice. Now they've got Kayleb Williams. They feel
like he's the guy as well. But again it's still
early in his career. We're still waiting for Josh Allen
to have a breakout in the playoffs and become what
a lot of folks think that he can be, and
that's an MVP caliber quarterback. I wouldn't I don't know

(01:33:39):
that I can rank the top five right now. I mean,
are you gonna put Mahomes in that category?

Speaker 5 (01:33:43):
Just based on what he's done.

Speaker 10 (01:33:44):
He's still twenty eight years old, a couple of MVPs,
three Super Bowl rings, He's been incredible. I just think overall,
I think you've got a great one down there in
Houston and Stroud. I think the Packers have a great
win in Jordan Love. You got Lamar Jackson still two
time NFL MVP. He's got to be in that conversation
as well. So there's a lot of great guys that

(01:34:07):
are playing that position right now. I don't know that
I can rank the top five, but certainly if you're
talking about C. J. Strott, I put it in a conversation.

Speaker 4 (01:34:15):
Doug, the great thing about the Packers you love watching
this year? What's the one thing that frustrates you? And
then I want to get to the third part of
my question. You mentioned a field goal kicking situation. The
Texans have a sizable advantage in that particular category. Could
this game, in your mind, get down to a field
goal game? And if that's the case, does that worry you?

(01:34:35):
If you're a Packers fan?

Speaker 5 (01:34:36):
All right? What order you want me going?

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
Anything you want?

Speaker 5 (01:34:41):
All right?

Speaker 10 (01:34:41):
What I love watching about this Packers team is the
swarming defense, their opportunistic defense. Daviy McKinney already with five interceptions.
He had picks in his first five games as a
Green Bay Packer. He had interceptions in six straight games.
If you go back to last season, his last game
with the New York Giants, that's that hasn't happened The
Packers already have as many aways this year as they
had last year. New defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley has these

(01:35:04):
guys believing, has these guys swarming there. You know, even
when they go up against mobile quarterbacks, as they've done a.

Speaker 5 (01:35:11):
Couple of times already this year.

Speaker 10 (01:35:13):
You know, this is a team that has been able
to contain last week, it was Kyler Murray, the week
prior to Kyler Murray, or actually earlier in the season,
I guess I should say, you know, Jalen Hurts, Anthony Richardson.

Speaker 5 (01:35:26):
They've been able to contain these.

Speaker 10 (01:35:28):
Mobile quarterbacks so far, and that's why they always have
their eyes on the quarterback.

Speaker 5 (01:35:33):
Kind of a mush rush that they've had.

Speaker 10 (01:35:35):
So their defense has been extraordinarily Watch what's been frustrating penalties?
Too many penalties. You brought up the kicking game. The
kicking game has been awful for the Packers this year.
They've had seven kickers come through seven since January. That's
I've been covering this team a long time that I've
never even not even half of that in a season

(01:35:57):
for any NFL team ever. But they've had seven kicks
and now you know the latest that is in Brandon McManus.
So could it come down to a field goal last
part of your question. Yeah, sure, Texans are a very
very good team, very stout team. And you know it's
not the weather's not going to play much of a
factor in this one because it's going to be in
the seventies. It's going to be a pretty pleasant fall

(01:36:17):
day any central Wisconsin, so you know that that's not
going to give the Packers any kind of advantage whatsoever.

Speaker 5 (01:36:25):
So yeah, I think this is going to be a
close one.

Speaker 1 (01:36:26):
And to think people hated Mason Crosby for the longest time,
right you.

Speaker 10 (01:36:30):
Know, I think Packers fans would just kill to have
Mason Crosby back right now. But he hasn't kicked in
a couple of years, and I think that door is
slammed a little bit, and and Mason probably would admit
that it's it's probably.

Speaker 5 (01:36:45):
Past his prime.

Speaker 10 (01:36:45):
But man, just to have some consistency in that in
that role right now is something that Packers fans are
just begging for.

Speaker 4 (01:36:52):
Well, Doug, my partner here, we call him Battle at Ross,
has the Texans winning very very close game. I think
the Packers win thirty to twenty, So you're the ebreaker.
What's gonna happen on Sunday?

Speaker 5 (01:37:01):
See I Matt. I hate making predictions because I'm always wrong,
may Tell.

Speaker 4 (01:37:05):
That's why people love me, because my predictions don't mean
Jack Squad, so we know what you're on the show.
I mean Jack Squad, so well we will hold it
against you, I promise.

Speaker 10 (01:37:13):
I think that if everyone performs as well as they're
able to perform, That's why I don't like making predictions,
because I can't predict whether or not you know who's
gonna execute the game plan or not. I think green
Bay probably they were playing with a lot of confidence
defensively right now, especially with the way that they were
able to contain Kyler Murray last week. And I think
they look at CJ. Stroud as you know, there are

(01:37:34):
some similarities. Perhaps I'm gonna say the Packers are going
to win it, but it's not gonna be very high scoring.

Speaker 5 (01:37:38):
I'm gonna say twenty four to twenty one, all right.

Speaker 4 (01:37:41):
And lastly, we have a friend I listened to the
show just called earlier and said, Matt, what do you
do in Green Bay?

Speaker 8 (01:37:47):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:37:47):
Honestly, when I lived in Minneapolis, I could never get
a hotel in Green Bay, so I would me and
my buddies, my cohorts in the media there. We would
drive from Minneapolis to green Bay, do the game, watch
the game, then go back to Minneapolis.

Speaker 1 (01:37:57):
So I don't know the hang.

Speaker 4 (01:37:58):
If somebody was bumping around the metropolitan green Bay area,
where's the one place to get a drink a Burger's,
brought coke, whatever the case would be, what's the definitive
green Bay hangout in that town?

Speaker 5 (01:38:09):
All right?

Speaker 10 (01:38:10):
The hangout is Andoozy's, which is near the stadium. Excuse me,
near the stadium as well. They've got really good pizza
and really good wings, so go to and Doozy's. Also,
the National Railroad Museum is in Green Bay too, so
if you if you want to hit that, maybe that
should have been my fun fact about Green Bay. The
National Railroad Museum is there? Other than that, there's not
that much. I'm gonna be honest with you, Matt, there's

(01:38:32):
not that not that much in Green Bay.

Speaker 4 (01:38:35):
Hey, I acquitted it to being the culture of Lufkin,
So I don't know if it's an.

Speaker 5 (01:38:42):
Was born in Lumkin.

Speaker 1 (01:38:45):
Please tell him I said that and see.

Speaker 5 (01:38:46):
What his reaction is Oh that's funny.

Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:38:49):
Get I was gonna say college station.

Speaker 1 (01:38:51):
It's got it's got the football there you go down
on this case.

Speaker 10 (01:38:55):
It's got football, it's got you know. The Bush Museum
is there, you know, if you if you like history there.
We've got the Railroad Museum in Green Bay. And it's
just a smaller town. But there's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 4 (01:39:06):
No, no, no, it's the most unique sports facility I've
been into and all my years of covering sports. So
I think as I've told the audience here in Houston,
and I'm it was frankly surprised. A lot of the
Texans fans are not going because the Packers that there
were some open, some tickets open because the Texans are
not taking their a lot. But I if you're going
to go to a game this year, it's got to
be Green Bay, especially seventy three degrees in October.

Speaker 1 (01:39:26):
Are you kidding me? That's crazy?

Speaker 10 (01:39:28):
To be beautiful, to be beautiful, I mean, listen, every
week I see somebody who walks into lambeau Field for
the first time, and oftentimes they just kind of stand
there and they just look around.

Speaker 5 (01:39:38):
I take it for granted, I've been there.

Speaker 10 (01:39:40):
I don't know a thousand times, but I see people
there who have made it their bucket list. And there's
a sign on the wall right when you walk in,
and it's for the employees of the Packers, and it
just simply states right on the wall in big bold letters,
today is someone's bucket list.

Speaker 5 (01:39:54):
That's just a reminder that it is a really special place.

Speaker 1 (01:39:58):
Great visit with myn I really appreci you're spending some
time with us and look forward to maybe talk with
you maybe on a Super Sunday.

Speaker 5 (01:40:04):
You never know, you know, that would be awesome. That
thanks so much for having me up. I got it.

Speaker 4 (01:40:08):
Doug Russell joining us up from Milwaukee, part of the
Packers radio network and the sports director of Milwaukee and Madison.
He's so popular he he covers the entire state non
flora stories in just fifteen minutes here on Sports Talk
seven ninety. This is the Matt Thomas Show on Sports
Talk seven ninety. All Right, we got non flora stories

(01:40:33):
coming up in a few minutes. I need a ruling.
And you guys know how I feel about the University
of Houston. And that's my love and that's my honor,
and I'm very proud of it and got my degree there,
met my wife there, all the good stuff. We have
a member of the seven to ninety team that claims

(01:40:54):
two schools as his beloved schools, which you can somewhat tolerate.

Speaker 1 (01:41:04):
But however, however, they're.

Speaker 4 (01:41:09):
In the same conference. Josh C, who is my network
producer on Rockets basketball. He also does he is he's
the biggest Alabama honk in this station. Yes, Josh is
in there talking to Connor Andston.

Speaker 1 (01:41:24):
Connor.

Speaker 4 (01:41:25):
You're part of the sec too. You may get this
as although you're early not you're just a fringe member. Sorry,
it is what it is. We work with someone I
won't name his name, Dan Matthews, who happens to be
a big.

Speaker 1 (01:41:38):
Georgia fan.

Speaker 4 (01:41:40):
Yes, because you're going to get tickets to the game
in Austin, trying to get tickets and he is a
huge LSU fan.

Speaker 1 (01:41:47):
I ask you, Josh C.

Speaker 4 (01:41:48):
Alabama Crimson tied die Hard and you've been consistent about this.
Is that allowable to be a fan of two teams
in the same conference.

Speaker 14 (01:41:59):
I'll say that my dad went to Alabama, A bunch
of family went to Alabama. I went to Alabama for
two years. Trans graduated from Texas A and M graduate
from A and M cheaper high school. Still, but I'll
say this, I I really don't root for the Haggis much.
I don't mind them. But if I pay tuition at
both universities, I feel that gives me the right to
cheer have some sort of Yeah, both teams I kind

(01:42:22):
of like, but one is way ahead of the other.

Speaker 1 (01:42:26):
What a mellilymouth answer that was, what about?

Speaker 3 (01:42:28):
What about?

Speaker 9 (01:42:29):
Damn?

Speaker 4 (01:42:29):
I don't care about I don't care about your experience.
But the question is, can you be a hawk for
two schools in the same conference?

Speaker 1 (01:42:38):
Honk, No, But can you have rooting interest kind of
for both? Sure?

Speaker 4 (01:42:42):
Because I won't mention a person name again, Dan Matthews.
He's wearing a Georgia hat George's hat, tack, but he
would wear an LSU gear On Monday he hung out
with me and some of the family. On Saturday he
was wearing LSU Tigers baseball hat and jersey. All right,
So back off, mister meely mouth. Let's go to over
a fringe SEC member here in JFCC. Oh, come on,
nobody in the country, nobody even cares about Missouri.

Speaker 8 (01:43:05):
The SEC.

Speaker 4 (01:43:07):
You guys are Big eight at best nineteen in the country. Okay, yeah, yeah,
twenty five matt What about the Kooks. Kuks are going
to be winning the Missouri state championship this weekend. Okay
in Kansas City, which is weird. We're playing Kansas in
Kansas City. Don't ask, I won't. All right, what do
you think can can unnamed members of our on air staff?

(01:43:27):
Damn Matthews be an LSU and Georgia fan at the
same time.

Speaker 15 (01:43:31):
That's kind of rough, especially if, yeah, if you didn't
attend either school.

Speaker 1 (01:43:35):
But yeah, I don't know. I get you cheer for
whoever you want. I don't care. Yeah, I will say
two things.

Speaker 4 (01:43:41):
You can be a fan of whoever you want, because fandom,
in the end of the day doesn't make any sense anyway,
it's correct. But number two, we reserve the right to
make fun of you for your fandom, and I gonna
tell you it's not rooting for the team. But we
can call you a waffler, a fen hitter, and a
two timer. So fan all you want, yes, just feel

(01:44:03):
the wrath exactly. So what happens if your daughter goes
to a big twelve score? Are you not going to
root for them whenever they play You of age, aren't
you red Raider met too? Okay, here is my I
have paid thousands and thousands of dollars to Texas Tech and.

Speaker 1 (01:44:22):
To A and M. I will damn rail well root
for who I want to root for. But at the
end of the day, if you have H plays Texas Tech,
go kugs. If you of H plays A and M,
go cougs. No if and or butts, No matter how much,

(01:44:43):
to be brutally honest with you, I've spent more money
in A and M and more money in text Tech
than I ever spent at the University of Houston tuition
to skyrocketed Matt's sas. So, first of all, thank you
for calling me out on that. But second I'm consistent.
It's good. I'm proud of you.

Speaker 5 (01:44:59):
So there you have it.

Speaker 4 (01:45:00):
Thank you, Josh, Thank you, Connor Dy McGovern No, thanks
to you, Ross, Why no thanks to me? I don't
know if they don't forget they hard to make any
money they need applause. I'm longhorned, burn, orange, rain or shine,
no matter the sport, volleyball, rowing, the sports we actually
win national championships over there in.

Speaker 1 (01:45:23):
And football, this weekend against the Georgia Bulldogs.

Speaker 4 (01:45:26):
All right, how about this, We have technically determined that
an alum is someone that goes with school. Okay, do
you get more cachet if you're a graduates compared Yeah,
I didn't graduate from the school. For instance, if I
would have gone to Ohio State for one semester, m
that made me an old house and alum. Technically, by

(01:45:47):
the definition of do I get to get to carry
all the flowers that comes of being in at one?
Guess who emails me asking for donations. They don't care
about my grip, me having a degree or not. That's
the Texas Texas. Okay, there you go. All right, now
we got that all the way. Let's do Florida non
Florida stories.

Speaker 1 (01:46:04):
Oh was that next Connor? Wherezi's from? Because Ross has
no ideas where he is from Greece?

Speaker 4 (01:46:10):
All right, I'm going mine from about forty two thousand
feet above sea level.

Speaker 1 (01:46:14):
That's up next to twenty eight. On Sports Talk seven ninety, we.

Store on coast to coast ollgrade, strange and wild. No
alligator tale, but something that will make you smile. It's
time for last from far and in this crazy world, there's.

Speaker 1 (01:47:16):
No all right, ladies and gentlemen. Have you heard of
the airline that.

Speaker 4 (01:47:22):
Rhymes with bantis? It's an Australian airline. Maybe it's Quantus.
You've heard of Quantus before?

Speaker 1 (01:47:30):
Sure?

Speaker 5 (01:47:30):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (01:47:30):
All right? I've never been to Australia. I would love
to go. The thought of an eighteen hour flight just
scares the Bejesus.

Speaker 5 (01:47:37):
Out of me.

Speaker 4 (01:47:38):
But that's a difference on a sixteen hour fight. How
are you gonna kill that time? We're gonna do a
whole show with you. We're gonna do a whole show
with you about how when you come back? I can
call you on the you want to zoom in that day?
Can you do me on the flight?

Speaker 1 (01:47:50):
Oh my god? Okay, here we go. So there was
a flight from Sydney to Tokyo.

Speaker 4 (01:47:55):
The Quantas Airline had to apologize to the passengers on
that plane. Technical issues made individual movie selection unavailable. Okay,
so a movie was selected out of a limited list
for the entire flight based on the requests from some
of the passengers. Okay, the movie turned out to be

(01:48:18):
something called Daddyo, Daddio Daddyo. The movie featured profanity, sexual material,
and brief graphic nudity. A passenger who reported on the
flight said this, the movie they played was extremely inappropriate.

(01:48:42):
Here's the best part. It was impossible to pause it,
dim it, or turn it off. It featured graphic nudity
and a lot of sexting the time where you could
literally read the text on screen without needing headphones. It
took all an hour of this before they twitched to
a more kid friendly movie, but it was super uncomfortable

(01:49:05):
for everyone, especially with families and kids aboard. Quantus an
issuing on apology, the movie was clearly not suitable to
play for the whole flight, and we sincerely apologize to
customers for this experience. All screens were changed to a
family friendly movie for the rest of the flight, which
is our standard practice for the rare cases where individual
movie selections aren't possible.

Speaker 1 (01:49:29):
Hmm, Rossi've done a Rotten Tomatoes check on the movie
Daddy O is it dadd iOS? That is it?

Speaker 4 (01:49:36):
Believing Stars audio Sean penn I believe is an s.
It has a rating of six point six on IMDb. Okay,
and I will look up the rotten tomatoes for you,
so let me seventy seven percent fresh. Sit Wait a minute,
how do you not are you unable to turn the
movie off? Eighty eight percent on the popcorn meter? That's

(01:49:57):
the fan vote. How do you not unable to dim?

Speaker 5 (01:50:03):
Come on?

Speaker 4 (01:50:04):
Something doesn't sound right on concious quantas Airlines needs to
get their bleep together.

Speaker 1 (01:50:08):
Yeah, Now, would I want to watch a long movie
between uh Sydney and Tokyo with the featured profanity, sexual
material and brief graphic nunity?

Speaker 4 (01:50:18):
I mean I've seen worse. Okay, that's a yes. So
Daddy O will not be on your local flight anytime soon.

Speaker 1 (01:50:27):
Kind of flying to Australia. Yeah, and that's my non
Florida story.

Speaker 15 (01:50:31):
You guys, ever, get a little uncomfortable when you're watching
a movie on a plane and some intimate scenes going on.

Speaker 1 (01:50:36):
I see other people watching. I don't watch movies with
nudity on playing Connor, you don't.

Speaker 4 (01:50:40):
You have not heard this story before. I'll tell the
story for the second time. When I was doing rice
basketball in the late nineteen nineties. I flew to Tulsa
for a game, and I was sitting in first class
and the guy next to me pulls out a Hustler magazine.

Speaker 1 (01:50:58):
You do anything else? Okay? So did he pull out
some clean ex.

Speaker 4 (01:51:03):
So there's Playboy, there's the next rung above that is
Penthouse and the nurse hustler. Hustler's Yeah, hustle leaves no foot,
got sued, no room for the imagination. And while I
looked at the magazine for a very very brief short time,
not I didn't do that. I couldn't believe an adult

(01:51:25):
male would pull out a porn magazine on a flight.

Speaker 1 (01:51:29):
Did he pick it up on like the at the
airport shop? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:51:32):
But you know, back in the day, this before you
were just when you had a big little kid, they
would put you'd debel go to a convenience story and
be able to get the porn magazines and it would
be in these plastic wrap.

Speaker 1 (01:51:41):
You can't do that anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:51:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:51:43):
I don't know. I'm not gonna. I don't think you can.
I mean I've never done lately, but magazine still being manufactured.
I don't know. Know you used to be able to
buy him at the Newport News or the Hudson News
or whatever. Yeah, I know with with shops.

Speaker 4 (01:51:57):
Yeah, so you would go to the air I remember
seeing Bill you get playboys at the airports in plastic
cover and then you gotta do what you gotta do.
But why do you bring hustler on a flight to Tulsa?
That guy gave zero f's next to me in first
class all wanted to take a little rass ross.

Speaker 1 (01:52:16):
I don't need to be you need to get in
the mood for arrest. So there's your story, and that's
my non flow story. Thank you, Matt. My next, I'll
go next. I don't care.

Speaker 4 (01:52:29):
Let me tell you about a man named Michael Smith.
His original a fifty two year old from Cornelius, North Carolina.
Michael Smith was making some music and posting it on Spotify.
Turns out, though, that Spotify became suspicious when his music

(01:52:52):
was getting over six hundred thousand streams per day and
they were owing him millions in royalties.

Speaker 1 (01:52:58):
Congratulations.

Speaker 4 (01:52:59):
Well, Michael Smith had come up with a bunch of
fake bands using AI and also created an army of
bots to fake listen to the tracks to.

Speaker 1 (01:53:11):
Give him over ten million dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:53:14):
In streaming royalties. No Spotify, of course found out. There
was an investigation the US Attorney for the Southern District
of New York and the FBI calling this quote a
brazen fraud scheme. He has been arrested and charged with fraud, conspiracy,

(01:53:35):
wire fraud, and money laundering. He partnered with some AI
music company in twenty and eighteen and mass produced an
enormous catalog of tunes, as I said, garnering at least
six hundred thousand streams per day.

Speaker 1 (01:53:52):
So do you pay the money back? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:53:57):
I guess he's gonna have to write. Now, are our
non Florida story theme music is AI created?

Speaker 1 (01:54:03):
Correct? That is correct?

Speaker 5 (01:54:04):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:54:05):
Did Michael Smith do it?

Speaker 8 (01:54:07):
So?

Speaker 1 (01:54:07):
Coleplay didn't do it. Cole Play hads the greatest tour
of all time by anybody not named Taylor Swift. Matt
put some respect on their name too. I apologize. There
you go, Michael Smith and his army of bots and
his AI music going to jail. Mm hmmm.

non Flora story?

Speaker 14 (01:55:00):
So?

Speaker 15 (01:55:01):
My last non Florida story was about a man arrested
for hiding underneath woman's cars at a car wash to
stare at their feet. Sure, Now we go to Greece,
where a judge imposed a one month prison sentence on
a man convicted of disturbing his neighbors by repeatedly sneaking
into their properties to smell their shoes. A police had
been called after a neighbor found the twenty year old
in his front yard sniffing his family's shoes, which had

(01:55:22):
been left outdoors to air. The court heard that there
had been at least three similar incidents in the past
six months. Despite neighbors having asked the defense family to
get him to stop. That man expressed to the court that.

Speaker 1 (01:55:34):
He was unable to explain his behavior, which he said
had caused him great embarrassment. He stressed that he had
no intention of breaking the law or harming anybody. So
the man sends to a month in prison and court
ordered therapy sessions after being caught sneaking onto private properties
and sniffing people's shoes.

Speaker 4 (01:55:52):
Out among all the different smells into life, I would
put the shoe smell boys in a lower tan of
things like workout closes. Sweat would be in the low tens.
Shoes sweamt would be in the low tens.

Speaker 1 (01:56:10):

cream high tens, hunting that cheerios, beautiful flower arrangement, top tens.
