Speaker 1 (00:02):
Lunchtimers. This is the Matt Thomas Show.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
To ten o two in Agetown. Good morning, and welcome
to a Tuesday ed issue of The Matt Thomas Show
with Ross. This is Sports Talk seven ninety. We would
normally play Texans winning highlights here, but we don't have
any of those well because they didn't win.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
And sadly, we will not be playing a lot of
Rocket winning highlights because the Rockets didn't win yesterday.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Frank old blue Eyes.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
When we finally kiss good night, I hate going out
of the storm, but if you really hold me tight.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
All the way home, I'll be won. This song absolutely
fits and it slaps. It's a slapper.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Oh yeah, this is busting. Yes, I think it's a
low key jam. He gets people going. And it is
snowing in Houston, Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
I've never seen anything like this. I know you have
in Minnesota. I lived in Texas my entire life. When
I wasn't living in Houston, I was living in Austin.
And that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Do you think these women were hot back in the day?

Speaker 3 (01:20):
In the background, Okay, if there's four women's singing, how
many did Frank sleep with? All four of them at
the same time. Well, I mean I didn't want to
go to that direction, but you certainly did. And that's fine.
I know people say that back in the day Hugh
Hefner had in life. I bet you Frank Sancher went
too far. I used to hang out together correct bedfellows,

(01:43):
perhaps literally.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
I mean, he invented the bauchery that was Las Vegas. Basically.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, he was having a good time in Vegas. I'm
sure he and the rat pack. Yeah, and he also
had some people burying some men, but that's a different
issue for differences.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Supposedly he and Dean Martin were also the genesis for
the golf drink cart. Really, by the way, that's Dan Matthews.
That makes sense, Dan Matthews, What the hell are you
doing here at an Am? You know, they said, hey,
we need somebody and bingo here. That's what I appreciate you, Dan,
You are the glue that's holding seven ninety together. We
appreciate you. I know that Clinton and Watch don't want
you talking their show. You're more than welcome to chime

(02:16):
in as often as you want. Now, However, if you
chime in with something stupid, we're gonna make fun of you.
But if it's Cochin and it makes a lot of sense,
we'll give you proper acclaim. Can I just you know,
in fairness and just to you know, make me in
my comfort zone? Can you maybe like give me some
eye rolls or snarky comments afterwards?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
It would direct like what the hell are you thinking?
Can't wait that? I like that?

Speaker 3 (02:38):
My favorite, My favorite Dan Matthew's moment when he was
filling in for you last year was I said, hey, Dan,
we were talking about some did some legendary broadcaster pass
away in the last.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Keith Jackson keeping somebody died.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
We're talking about like the mount Rushman, Like, who are
your favorite all time broadcasters? I mean, we're thinking about
the co Cells, the Musburger's, the Nances, the Enburg's, the Michaels,
the Bucks all. And He's like, you know, Dave Neil
is really just the best. I'm like, what, I don't
even know who that is, nor does anybody else in America.

(03:13):
He does SEC games, that's all he does. Well, I
said Tom Hart too, Oh, Tom Hart too? Yeah, well, Dave,
Actually Tom Hart's really good. Dave Neil is lucky. His
dad was a legendary announcer. So he got kind of
like he gravy trained off of his dad. Just because
he's a nice guy doesn't mean he gravy train. Well, no,
it's very true. I mean there's a lot of people
in our industry who do that.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
I know. Don't look at me. No, no, no, you're
not really to anybody. You don't. You didn't. You didn't
take care of the entry self made in the business.
It doesn't even take nepotism, I know, I know.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
All right, So here we are. We are live at
ten oh six in the morning. This is Sports Talk
seven ninety where we our motto here on the midday show,
in particular is sports, sports and then more sports. I mean,
there's nothing that doesn't get by these gates that doesn't
revolve around sports.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Would you say, I would say, okay, you would say, uh, frankly,
ninety eight percent of you are probably at home, and
I'm all for that. The two percent of you that
are out driving, go.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Home, be safe, drive carefully, drive friendly, the Texas Way
and by the way, no, don't drive. No, don't listen
to him, don't drive it. All I'm saying, if you're out,
go home and drive. Oh yeah, of course. Geez okay, welly,
so I don't want you encourage it.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, go go and spend some donuts.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Because here's a reality. In about four or five hours,
the sun's gonna come out for a little bit, hopefully,
and people are gonna want to jump in the car
and go somewhere.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Don't do it.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
You are not allowed to. This is under empty law
to leave your house until probably six o'clock tomorrow night.
Because here's the reality. All this snow becomes slush, the
slush becomes freeze, the freeze becomes ice. It's layer, and honestly,
tomorrow will be a much bigger pain the ash to

(05:04):
drive than it would be today. Today it's just fresh,
fluffy snow. And you and I drove today, Yes, well
you did. We went six tenths of a mile from
our hotel where we're staying to the offices here at
twelve thirty three.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yes, west Loop South. We sold your done, Matt.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
We made it in Yeah, and you were really nervous,
and I would be nervous too because I'm not a
great driver. But I I navigated the murky waters that
was made snow and we made it. I just didn't
want to die. Yeah, but if you don't die, you
me with me exactly. I mean, Mike, God, I'd rather
go peacefully in my sleep than scream with a screaming
Matt Thomas.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
It's true.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
So we are here and we're gonna go live until
two o'clock and then I'm gonna go over to k Carriage.
I'm gonna flip. I'm gonna be like, if you love me,
you're getting seven straight hours of minute. If you despise
me too, damn bad, you're getting me. Anyway, I'm gonna
prank call you. You can't prank called Kate Carriage. We're
a heritage radio station. I've done it before. Well that
was because you're warped road trip, I know. But you're

(06:01):
now a trained profession. You can't prank common anymore.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Hey, Matt, we got a we got a solid six
inches last night.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, that's that's a tired that's being kept. M Oh yeah,
it's for Franny. Have you caught anything? Are the Wexler
and I know wex and Clinton hardly work anymore? But
did have they been saying things worthy of our FARNI
opens every.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Once in a while. There's some things I could absolutely
throw some things out. Okay, good.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Now you're working with us until two. You were here
at six o'clock this morning, so there's no chance you're
working the A team. The question is going to be,
well the A team even worked today? I think that
they are. I'll say yes, yeah, I'm proud of them.
I mean the the guinea pig test for does the
technology work was Brian and Sean, and it worked and.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
It was well.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Sean had a little bit of issues connecting and then
he got with iHeart it. They got him figured out,
so he was good to go. And then once they
did there was no Yeah. All right, So we are
here today to talk about sports and life and snow. Yes,
it's kind of anything goes Tuesday, Yes, and I I'm
asking I put a tweet out yesterday if there's any

(07:12):
topics on anything Goes Tuesday you'd like for us to
get to now. I remember a lot of you don't
get to listen to us because you're busy either teaching school,
or you are on sales calls, or you're in office
tarring roofs. Yeah, whatever, you're doing, whatever, whatever you do
to get your life going and provide for your family.
So if you are new to the show. First of all,
I'm Matt. To my right is Ross and we have

(07:37):
held the people who you are in two sentences? Major
market radio, multiple stations.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
That's one sentence. Okay, voice of the Houston Rockets.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Wow, that's great, But I could probably I could probably
use about ten more cents?

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Can you give me ten one?

Speaker 5 (07:52):
Now?

Speaker 2 (07:52):
You don't need that, all right? So if I didn't too,
you do it?

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Oh? Okay, Born and raised in Houston, big time sports fan,
and and I love making chili.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Okay, Dan in two sentences, tell people who you are?
Two words movie quotes. There you go.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
And by the way, if you're gonna movie quote it,
since you had the ability to your ding yourself so there,
there better not be a second situation where you bring
up some movie from nineteen eighty six and you don't
ding yourself. No, it's gonna be genuine, it's gonna be organic.
I'm not gonna try to force things. I mean, this
is what I think.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
And you're not listening to this show with force things
all the time? Have you never heard us run every
bit into the ground for fifteen years?

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Hey, look to use a football line when I need
to burn the football, or burn the football when I
can make a throw down the field.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Never heard of nobody's ever said burn the football, that
dirt it either way, just throw it away. There you go,
just throw it away. So we want you want us
to throw away your burn the football line?

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Oh no, it's just that's that's the line that I've
heard before of they yell at a quarterback, burn it,
like throw it away, don't.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Okay, Maybe there's maybe this old football vernacular. Because you
and I have never been in a huddle like that before,
we would know these things. Yeah, I burned the football daily.
It's just one of those you burn other things daily. Well, yeah,
I've heard part of football xicon. That's all it is.
All right, I love it.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Thirty today, we're gonna have gut feelings people. I haven't
gut feeling that. We're gonna have a massive traffic jams.
We just made a movie reference. Oh well, I didn't
even hear it. I was I tuned out.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Hit your ding, Go ahead, dang, I'll just say it.
You want to, you know what you need to be
on them all that. I don't think my audio is
working still, so we're working on our quimen is not
working on a snow day.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
We'll get it on the horn after this done. Stunned
on the basic in like Cincinnati. They should be fine, right, Yeah,
they're used to this kind of stuff. We laid off
all our it people here.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Thousand and one, thousand and two. Okay, the pregnant pause
is now officially done. It's true. I mean sorry, it
is true. H ten thirteen on sports, just saying they
can work on it.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
I'll talk to you folks. Next segment, funny it people
got lad off a year ago. Co host of the
Matt Thomas Schell Ross gets like off one day after
seven one three two, one two five seven. I tell
us what you're doing. I'm curious if you are with
your kids outside playing in the snow, if you are
wearing a scarf in the studio in your home, like

(10:14):
ROSSI got a scarf on in the studio. It's awful.
You look like a complete dork. You look like a
completely Harvard. Yeah, what do they call it? Tea sip
and uh pinky up in the air.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Dork got them mighty?

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Is that the winner version of sunglasses inside? That's yeah,
twelve months of sunglasses inside, like athletes do it all
the time. It irritates me to know and like Tyler
Hero had sunglasses on their day when he was he
and men Thompson got sideways with each other. All right,
seven one three, two one two five seven ninety? What
are you doing and what would you like for us
to get to today?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Because we did have a national championship game in college
football yesterday that was on a scale one of the ten. Five.
Oh and then Notre Dame made it interesting. I'll give
it a six and a half.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Okay, between five and six and a half with the
Rockets last yesterday afternoon lose a Detroit Pistons, which was
on a scale of one to ten, about four.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
It wasn't great. Uh.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
We have a internet rumor out there about the Texans
coaching situation that I want to know if we should
give it any legs or it's just internet fodder.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
We'll get to that.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Got feelings. Russell of the NFL rewind today at twelve
thirty two hours and fifteen minutes.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
You can put it together and.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Then we get believer or not today all things about snow,
I'll think about snow, snowstorms.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Chrissy snow enzos Ins is a great name. Now it's
really a dog name. Now, if you're gonna be if
your name your kids enzos, I apologize, but it's it's
really as it's a pet's name. It's literally an Italian
man's name.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
It's a good name for a tailor. Ends of the tailor,
eh en So that's who is that? Who's fitting your
textedo Enzo the tailor.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, the end scene, we have to look on it.
Look at y'all again going on that terrible Italian accent stereotype.
How rude of both of you.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Seven one three two one two five seven Nintie come
on in and say hello, we wish you a very
happy winter storm.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Ends O day here the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.
This is Sports Talk seven.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Ninety This is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross on
Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Ten twenty on Sports Talk seven nine eight is a
Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Normally we have hundreds of
thousands of people that listen to the show. I feel
like today will not be one of those days. As
people are outside taking pictures of their backyards. That's okay.
My wife did as well, took a video. Yeah, I mean,

(12:47):
I'm not gonna chastise everyone for posting pictures of snow
in Houston, Texas once every thirty years. I'm okay with it. Yeah,
I'm okay with it. But they're not listening to us.
That's okay, Matt, because if you're a true professional, you'll
do the same great job you'll do if there's one
hundred thousand listeners or just one list That's actually not
true at all. Oh no, no, I would if we

(13:08):
knew we had a huge Like when I go to
KTRH in three and a half hours, there's gonna be
probably four times the amount of people listen to that.
So I'm going to be much better over there than
I am here. And also today's a mail it in Tuesday. Well,
and also things.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Are so slow in sports content these days, Matt.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
You're supposed to say, how slow are they? How slow
are they?

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Sports Rube Network is doing a bracket that people are
voting for. And it's not a bracket of players or teams.
It's a bracket of Hall of Fame classes. You mean
the entire class, yes, of years, like twenty fifteen versus
twenty eighteen, Matt, what was the better class? No, that
sounds like to me that's a network that would be
like if we did a radio show that only did

(13:51):
one sport.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, could you imagine manufacturing content best they can?

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Could you imagine doing a radio show where you only
talk about one thing all day long, all day, every day,
from six am to like seven or eight o'clock at night.
It'd be one topic all day long.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Two boring, too boring. They can move it around. Thank god,
we don't do that. All right.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yeah, so last night we were at a certain hotel. Yes, underrated,
I mean yeah, I would say a slight underrated. Yeah.
They had free drinks for us, and that's why I'm
saying underrated. So we so we we. It was from
five thirty until seven. Yes, I got there at six fifteen,

(14:31):
six thirty, so I had a double fist and the
three oh no, no, no, no, don't do that. And
then we watched the first half of the Notre Dame
versus Ohio State National championship game and it was largely
a bore because Ohio State was dominating.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
And then halftime, and then we went upstairs and I
fell in and out of sleep, and the game kind
of got more interesting towards the fourth quarter. But the
end of the day, Well, Hoil State had the better athletes.
Ohill State, by the way, covered the big number and
our national champions.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
So what did I do? As soon as the game
was of with Ross? What did you do? Man? I
went to the forur you tab, which is geez, terrible
targets caught up on all Taylor's videos on the for
you tab? What'd you do? Did Taylor? I don't know?

Speaker 3 (15:20):
How did you do with other picture yesterday? I have
no clue. I'll get you. You have a clue. You're playing
possum on this. I'll go look her in the break.
Trust me, I have zero problem doing the research on that. Yeah.
Oh so the for you tab is dangerous, but you
know it is what it is. There is a rumor
going around. I don't know where it came from. Okay,

(15:42):
it could be just Twitter generated that people are just
losing their minds over that says that the Texans make
a significant move in their coaching staff in the off season.
The guy they should go get is Chip. Kelly to
on the Texans offense and and Demico played for Chip
in Philadelphia. Okay, Chip is also at Ohio State, just

(16:08):
got there after being the head coach at UCLA.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Just one of the next heast. He gave up being
a head coach at UCLA to be the o C
at Ohio State.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
I mean, first of all, the money at Ohio State
to be in oc is probably very very good.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
L a head coach.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
It wasn't, but you only had to were about half
of the UCLA is a nice Tier two school. That's
crazy still to me, but I mean I understand it's
working for him. All he had to do at Ohio
State was yea CoA coach and recruit. No administrative duties,
no shaking of hands, no kissing the babies, no visiting
with the president of the school, No we're going on tours.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
It was just coaching. How old is Chip by the
ways he got to be? Oh, is he that old?

Speaker 3 (16:48):
I was gonna say under like late fifties, but will see,
I have no sixty one. Okay, so he's got a
few more years if he wants to run around bouncing
from school to school to a program to program.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah he didn't look that old. Well a hefty guy.
Good for him. Yeah, he's carrying his weight. Well, so
let me ask you this.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
I'm of the belief that Texans are not going to
let Bobby Slowly go.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
This looks completely manufactured. By the way. I'm not saying
anybody reporting Chip Kelly. No, No, there's nobody reporting. It's just
a it's just a for you nasty internet rumor. It's
not nasty, it's nasty. Will be different, just typed against.
They're on against the wall seeing something.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Stick correct, So do you want me to you want
us to address it seriously or just go, Hey, I
saw a funny thing on the internet yesterday and I'll
ballawly move on to something else because I think a
lot of people are going to start asking about you know,
Demiko said yesterday he needs a week to kind of
evaluate the coaching positions. Yes, Bobby slow could be staying.

(17:50):
It's still my gut feeling. I'm gonna stick with that,
even though the com there wasn't a ringing endorsement. Right,
that's my gut feeling. Wait, it is Tuesday. We got
to coming up save about an hour. Sorry, but I
mean that's that's a long standing got feeling for me
is that it's not going to happen. Yeah, anything can happen,
but it seems like he's going to stay. But there
certainly weren't any ringing endorsements from Demiko Ryans to be sure,

(18:11):
but let's let's be brutally honest. Okay, the Texans have
never been shy of spending money on coaches. Lord knows,
I've spent a bunch of them money on coaches. Yeah,
but none of them are high dollar coaches.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
No, but they're still they're paying out on two other
coaches that are that are no longer working for the organization.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Right, but he never signed with a big deal. If Demiko,
who I believe is beloved by Callan Hannah, m hm.
If Demko says I've got a chance to go get
the one of the brightest offensive minds, who oh, by
the way, just led a college team to a national championship.
If I got a chance to try to snack him
away and I played for him, I've already built a
relationship with him. I bet you Callan Hannah would say,

(18:52):
give him a shout and see what it takes financially, Yeah,
I would be shy. That's why, Rossie. As much as
I'm not a fan of internet rumors and spreading of them,
I'd listen to it. I don't think it's the most
preposterous thing I've seen on the Twitter streets under any circumstance.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Now, I've seen more preposterous things, usually at supports MT.
I understand.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
I would say it's but it's just completely random, floated rumor.
Right now, there's no basis or foundation for anything of
this other thansef Well. The reality is is that Chip
Kelly had an unsuccessful run as a head coach in
the NFL, and sometimes coaches want to get an opportunity,
not necessarily be a head coach again, but to be
able to right the wrongs of well, this guy can

(19:33):
coach at the collegiate level, but he can't coach the
NFL level. And I'm curious if that's even in Chips
or maybe Chips go win it. I just want a
national championship at Ohio State. I'm gonna get paid as
much as humanly possible can be for a coordinator. I've
only got half the responsibility that I used to have.
I'm sixty one years old. Why don't want to bounce
around from account to job to job.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
The job, yeah, just throwing it out.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
I mean, you would be working with a really good
quarterback and potentially with some good weapons and by the way,
if Chip was to come here again, we're just I
want to make sure we're very close.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
In his speculations, this is speculation, speculation, selling the speculation alarm.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
He'd have nothing to worry about. Demko would say, the
offense is yours. I'll see you later. I feel like
he does rain in slook a little bit. I do
feel like there is a I think that slowk is
under marching orders from Dimiko Ryans to establish the run
and not take a bunch of big risks.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
That's just my gut feeling.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
I don't know that, but I would think Demiko would say,
do I need a splashy hire to show that we're
ready to take because look, here's the reality of it.
The Texans have got to get to the next level.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
And I don't know.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
I don't know if Chip Kelly is the answer to that,
but they almost feel like they've got to do something
splashy enough because the reality is this rossy. Even though
we've basically discussed how they have got to overhaul their
offensive line, what are they gonna do. They got young
guys there. You can only probably get one lineman that
you think would be good enough to start right away.

(20:58):
Maybe we're I think we're perhaps over selling the overhaul
of the line unless you go do spend money in
going to get offensive linemen from other teams? And do
you really want to spend your money on that when
you ultimately still need other compartments, for instance getting a
second receiver to compliment uh Nico Collins. Yeah, I mean,
and you're gonna be losing guys. It's the nature of

(21:20):
the salary cap and where are you gonna plug those guys?
They need help on the interior line, which is generally
gonna be cheaper than tackle, right which is helpful. I mean,
can can Blake Fisher develop and get better? Can Juice
scrugs and can Compatterson develop and get better? You might
have some some internal growth rather than external help.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
It'll have to be a mixture of both.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
I think seven one three, two one two five seven
ninety seven one three two one two five seven nine
zero seven one three two one two five. So many
special shout outs to our friend Grace listening, our buddy
Kenny and Katie is listening. Thank you all for being
a part of the show. We're just gonna hang out here,
just talk sports, bit lighthearted and most importantly, do not

when night I saw did you look nice. What it's
just a stadium.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Oh, it's not just a stadium.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
I know.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
It's the loudest environment though they never lose there. No
nobody said that. But it's rossing, so loud and raucous.
What a storied stadium where they never went ross? What?
It sways? That's some jams. Okay, that sounds like that
sounds like a foundational issues and people are gonna get crushed.
It's been under under piles of rubble. It doesn't sound good.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
It's been swaying for thirty plus years and no one's
on an issue.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
That's what I'm saying. Shouldn't you be concerned? Wait, let
me tell Daryl car Roll Stadium big dump. Oh my god,
you've never even been in this. It was the last
time you were in, darryl ok. Yeah, shut up, you're
such a fraud. Last time Yeah, like nineteen ninety six.
This is the last time. And God's honest truth, it
was when Ricky Williams. Yes, they's so ridiculous. Yet Tyli

(24:54):
Gold Stadium. People call them like people call the Cotton
Bowl of dump. Yet it's old like it's yeah, it's
got tross for urinoals and stuff like that, But I
like a little bit of the old charm. M give
me creature. Oh, I know, miss fancy high Horse, Matt
needs a sweet level. That's fine. I like being out
there in the bleachers, panning the trough and drinking beer

(25:14):
out a wax cup at the Cotton Bowl. It's a
good time.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
There's something bonding about, like your home stadium for your
favorite team being a bleepole because you're all bonded in well,
it's a bleepole.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
You guys have say that so nicely and on.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Don't y'all go sit out lambell filled on a fifteen
degree day, you'd be changing your mind.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Give me to the damn sweet mag Can you get
me in the sweet please?

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Don't can go there in fifteen degrees. We're talking about
being in Texas. Also, the bleacher seats, you know they
were built in nineteen twenty three. The average BMI was
a little bit lower. I'm a little big for the
bleacher you know why.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Once y'all such big fans of old stamey, don't you
go sitt in Rice Stadium for some Rice South football
five six times a year? My best friends I've been to.
I enjoyed Wriggly I've been to Rice Stadium when I
was a kid.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
All right, let me tell you old school stams. I
like love Wrigley Love, Dodger Stadium. Yes, Fenway Park a
whole very uncomfortable. I've still never been there, so I
can't tell you, Okay, I can't.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Judge's one of my favorites.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Uh, Fenway is, Yeah, it's great, but it's also though too.
Like the venues are fine, they are what they are,
and it's kind of the nostalgia charm. But it's the
stuff that's outside the stadium, Like those are both stadiums,
and I don't miss of a neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Outside is fine.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Inside when you pay ross one hundred and forty eight dollars,
you can only see sixty percent of the field, you
be kind of pissed.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
You're just gonna be. Maybe I'll sit on top of
the Green Monster. Ooh, I would.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Do you know everybody was upset when they put seats
up there. Now they're like the most sought after seats
in the building. Let's talk to the great people of Houston, Texas.
We'll start with Ronnie on seven ninety at ten thirty nine. Ronnie,
good morning to you.

Speaker 6 (26:42):
Good Morning Man. Your producer answered question that I had
about the Koogs whether they were going to play tonight,
and he said, they're going to play tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (26:51):
So that's that's good.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
And I have a.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
Story you may not remember, Matt, but I hope you will.
You're in You've been in Houston all your life.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
I have been here. I am fifty two years of
age and I have lived here for forty years.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
Do you remember the radio personality that Johnny.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Goin, Yes, used to be on oldies ninety four point
folding one.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 6 (27:18):
Well, well, a funny story I can relate about that
is his dad was a city councilman in Houston back
in the sixties. And there were two morning show guys
on nine p fifty on KPRCA back when it was
a you know, easy listening music radio thing, and they

(27:39):
used to they were good friends with Johnny Senior or
his dad whatever, and they used to hassle Johnny going
all the time about the fact that Houston was the
sixth largest city in the country and we did not
own a snowplow, and they hassled him about that all
the time, just you know, And I thought that's kind
of funny that here we are. We probably needed a snowflow,

(28:03):
you know what.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
And thank you for the phone call, and I appreciate
you listening. I'm gonna disagree.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
You don't. You'd be a waste of money. It would
be a waste I have lived here, has said forty
of my fifty two years of my life. This is
the second time I've seen significant snow in Houston, Texas.

Speaker 7 (28:18):
Now.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
There has been a dusting, there has been freezing rain,
there has been some sleep. This is the second time
that I've ever seen accumulation.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Google says more than an inch of snow on a
single day nine times and one hundred and twenty nine years,
so once every ten years, not even yeah, not yeah.
I look.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
The only thing that scared me once every fourteen years.
We were at the Super Bowl in Dallas and they
did the exact same thing, but that was more icy
and sleep than it was. This was it you and Charles, Yeah,
Chaz and I. This today has been pure snow.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
This is no.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
If ends or buds. It's powdery stuff that i' I
want to say. The last time I saw snow in Houston,
and I'm sure it's happened since. But this kind of
accumulation's probably been in the nineties. Maybe, I don't think,
like eighty.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Nine ish or something else in there. Yeah, somewhere in
that rang Christmas two thousand and four. Uh what do wait?
What was it? What was the snow total in two
thousand and four. I'd have to go back and look.
I'm looking at this two thousand and four you're talking about.
Oh no, this is a freshman. You're at college. I
remember it was Christmas Eve of two thousand and four.
Were you in Houston though?

Speaker 4 (29:30):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Huh?

Speaker 3 (29:31):
What was I in two thousand and four, I don't Oh,
you know, I had moved in. I had moved to
Salt Lake Cities. I wasn't even here. Eighty nine was
one point seven inches of snow. Yeah, yeah, seventy three
before that, seventy three was two inches, and then in
nineteen sixty four point four inches, and then eighteen ninety
five was well the reasonhy I don't remember because I

(29:51):
wasn't here. Eighteen ninety five was twenty inches of snow. Okay,
so I would not buy a snowplow.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Now. I had a snowblower in Minneapolis.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Yeah, a nice one, oh Son. I heard it was
the Cadillac A snowblower. It was the Mercedes Benz of snowblowers.
And then so I bought in like October for the
upcoming season, and I got the job here in December.
I'm like, yeah, So I put on ads out on
was it Craig It might have been Craiglier somebownt what
it was and I says, yeah, I'll give you X
for it. And I said that's I just paid this

(30:24):
three months ago, says guy says, well, you can't take
it with you to Texas.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
And I'm like, oh crap.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
So you put it on the ad you were going
to Texas. I said, I'm moving and I don't. I
got a snowblower. And so that sounds desperate. He like,
just upgraded. Thinking about upgrading, you lost all your leverage.
Matt in the posting, I know, I think I sold
him through the guy at forty cents of the dollar.
It was pissed me off because it was a great one.
That guy probably still tells people about that.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
I went out, tell you I got this great deal
of snowblower in two thousand and nine. It was amazing.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Let me tell you about that time I fleeced that
radio guy. I do miss Saint Paul in that respect.
I lived in the inner city. I don't live in
the inter city here now. I was three miles from
my radio station to my job.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
When you can, when you get you into that high
rise many off Post Oak, when you get in the
when you get in the penthouse at the Posto Hotel

Poking at me. No, I'm saskin. It's gonna be a while.
Let me get Karly off to college and we'll figure
it out after that. Okay, Post Oak with a doorman,
heated car, I mean you know the car. You picture
of me going to the doorman and getting thrown out?

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Does that make you happy? No, I wouldn't let you
in the building, period, That's what I'm saying. Oh yeah, yeah,
that makes me very happy. I'm a friend of Matt Thomas. No,
you're on the no cancy list. I love it.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
They've got the photo at the concierge. Yeah, Pablo Ascar

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Mattin Ross return return on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Ten fifty one Sports Talk seven on eighty time now
for one of these Ross show. The Bit's never going away,

(33:25):
much of the chagrin of some All right, Anthony Songtander
is now in Boston Red Sox sports arvey. Is that accurate?
So that means the Red Sox are spending money on
free agents.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Now it's a different position. No, Blue, I thought it
was Blue Jays. Oh, I'm sorry, Toronto, Toronto. He's up
there in Toronto, Matt, I gotta get you to Toronto.
That's how they talk and asked me how my Regina
interview went? How was your Regina interview Saskatchewan? They talked

(33:58):
really Canadian needed The guy was like, yeah, we're gonna
have a big game tomorrow. Yes, Oh, I thought it
was a big prank. Oh No, extremely Canadian, but very
nice guy. My son, he's not He's not a Red Sock.
He's a Blue Jet. He's a Blue Jay. That's the
reason why I brought that was because the Blue Jays
and Red Socks have been talked.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
About it in years. Ninety two and a half million,
the number floated was one hundred million. It looks like
ear sounds like everybody's going under market. Matty, you know
what I'm read, my bet? How let's go? Now, let's go?
Where is he gonna go? Is he worried? I don't know.
Is he like, I'm cool? Bruh, I'm making So he's

(34:40):
got to be worried. No, he's got to be a
little worried.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
I would imagine he and Scott Boris imagined that Bregman
would be signed by now. But also we had the
report from Buster only a week ago, when one of
our Bregman updates that the Toronto Blue Jays were the team.
There were varying levels of interest, with the Blue Jays
having the most money. So with on Ton Dare deal
now in place, does that mean they no longer have

(35:03):
the most money to offer.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Alex Bregna did.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
The titles weekend at this point, and AJ calls and says, hey, man,
I know you were looking for big, but come here,
we're starting something fun. We beat your asses in a
wild card last year. You're gonna be the missing piece
for us to win the America League. Can age make
that call? He absolutely can't. Maybe they'll make him the
amount of money he wants, but over like eight years,

(35:26):
eight years, two hundred yeah, like what if he want yeah,
what if he wants two hundred? Yeah, So they make
five years they have on the back end, they're not.
They're just gonna take it on the chimp. Didn't that
kind of happen with.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
The Bryce Harper deal the Phillies, Like they made it
super long. It was the money he wanted, but it
was like a thirteen year deal or something like that.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Okay, so I'm gonna get the calcular out. Two hundred
divided by eight would be five year.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yeah, one fifty six divided by six twenty six. So
it's not that much A million dollars a year, yeah,
but it's all forty five forty four million more dollars guarantee. Yeah,
but I don't it's not in the Tiger's DNA to
give give out two or million dollar contracts.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
M Well, they have, it just didn't work out. Well,
that's my point, Yeah, Miguel Corprere. Well, I mean they're
still paying maybe yeah, I mean they're like, they're like,
oh for now, Now, Mickey was good for them for
a while, but they certainly paid for they They holsted
down the stretch with him hardy planning.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
Eight.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
I don't think Bregman's even close to I mean, I
might want to double down on my under one seventy
five unless somebody gets hurt, or unless somebody sneaks in.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
It said. First of all, he's a notorious slow starter
and he's gonna miss camp. This seems like a horrible idea.
Scott Boris has screwed up a second straight off season
and I don't even count one Soto because that's a generation.
What do you mean, Well he got I think he
got won Soto more money than people were expected, but he.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Frankly, you hurt as the rest of his clients, right
who he might have? How many Boris for agents were
they're this offseason? Think he's got Alonzo too, right?

Speaker 2 (37:07):
And he's not. He's still looking for work. Oh god,
you're gonna make me look this up.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
No, you don't have to. Let's talk to Eric in
Bay City. Let's go we gotta figure out what's going
on with the Bay City weather. Eric, What's how's the
snow situation down there?

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Well, guys, I'm glad it's here because it gives me
a reason not to go outside, when the real reason
I don't want to go outside is because I'm too
embarrassed to go outside. After Joe's spot is whining and
pandering to the media yesterday that our arms are still
wide open. Put your arms down.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Your body odor stinks, Joe.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
I mean, why would we want this guy? Nobody wants
this guy.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
It's emit now that nobody wants him.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
If he signs with Boston. Let's say he signs for
one hundred and eighty million. Ross brought this up a
couple of weeks ago. Uh state income tax, and Massachusetts
has a millionaire's tax. Eighteen million of that one hundred
and eighty million is going to go to the state
of Massachusetts. So he's gonna sign, gonna leave us for
six million dollars. He wants the stench of a cheater.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
This guy waa trash he bought is not a trash.
Come on, Eric, now you're just trolling a little bit.
How's that grinky doing.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
No, Scott Boris, I wouldn't even smile today if we
were bringing back Zach. I'm so disgusted.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
You're a liar, Eric.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
Scott Boris bought this gold glove because defense is the
only thing that's really hard to argue. Alex Bregman is
a good third baseman, he's not a great third baseman,
and he's horrible at the plate.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
He's horse. These are horrific. These are horrific overstatements. They're
just they're just, it's just there's.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
The only player he was better than was jose A
Bray You in our line?

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Oh right, and he was better than he was better
than Let's see, I don't even know Jake Myers. You
know what, Dan, give me some give me some snow music.

do a report of kids going up and down hills.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
You don't think TV reporter's backing six in Houston midday?

playoff game.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
We'll discuss that next eleven sixteen on seven ninety The.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
Man Tama Show with Ross continue So on Sports Talk

Speaker 3 (54:54):
All Right, I just put a tweet out to Jim
Cantre and we'll see if he calls now, Dan, as
you know, I don't like to openly ask somebody to
call in, so need to vet it a little bit
to make sure it's really gonna be him if he
does call it.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
If he doesn't call him, a big whoop. Now, was
this a straight on tweet or was this a DM?

Speaker 4 (55:15):
No?

Speaker 2 (55:15):
I can't.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
I don't think I can DM him. No, but you
can't DM him. Hmm. You didn't give out the hotline,
did you?

Speaker 10 (55:22):
No?

Speaker 2 (55:23):
Of course not. Okay, he just tweeted fourteen minutes ago,
so I know he's doing his bit. Like I said,
he was on Channel eleven earlier, like talking.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
Yeah, but he didn't have any fun with that. We're
gonna have some good time because he's a freaking national hero. Yeah,
I'm just curious to know if there was any thunder snow.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
No, I don't thinking thunder snowed.

Speaker 6 (55:45):
Like that.

Speaker 4 (55:46):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (55:47):
Help me?

Speaker 1 (55:48):
What?

Speaker 2 (55:48):
What is a thunder snow? That's a snow rain mix
with a thunder?

Speaker 5 (55:51):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Why I've nemver heard thunder with snow before, and I'm
sure I know it's happened. It sounds like a wrestler.
There's a viral clip years ago of he brought up
the idea of it and it actually happened and he
lost his mind when there was a strike of lightning.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
It's like a thunderstorm, but it's thunder snow.

Speaker 7 (56:07):
Man.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
Well I figured that out wrong. I'm just saying it,
But I mean, have you ever seen it before? If
you ever heard it, this is the most snow I've
ever seen in my life. So no, I haven't seen
thunder snow. You're the one from Minnesota. We didn't have thunder.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
We just had flat up blizzard twelve degrees and seven
inches of foot people. Again, Seriously, if I sent these
videos and photos to my friends in Minneapoli, Saint but
they would be making like what do we What do
other people do in other cities that we make fun
of here when it comes to weather. Is it because
it's hot, like, oh, it's ninety degrees today in Omaha?

(56:40):
Boo freaking who.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
Yeah, that's probably us during the summer making fun of
like the Northeast and Midwest cities where there's not a
ton of air conditioning.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
Yeah, it happens in the EU like there they'll have
like big news stories in London or something. Oh my god,
it's gonna be eighty one degrees, massive heat wave hitting
and it's like eighty one. It's like when I was
out in La I to bum ass up London.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
When I was out in la a couple of years ago,
they had the atmospheric river where it flooded La and
it was wall to wall local TV. I like the
heat dome. No, didn't the heat dome hit Phoenix or something?
Does it like the into a dome or No? No,
that's different. Okay with the wall. By the way, did
you see somebody did an air ball against the wall?
Was it Lebron in the game? Somebody had an air

(57:23):
ball against the wall at the end to a dome?
I forgot who it was, but it happened in the
last couple of days. Okay, Lebrons and joined himself last night.
Lebron he was a National Championship game.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
Yes he was. Yep. Oh, the biggest Ohio state fan.
We know, dam Yankees and Cowboys, and he's like, he's
like our friend Lakers, who has more teams des or
n Lebron Lebron James and he's.

Speaker 3 (57:48):
Part owner of Liverpool or something and will be a
future owner of the Las Vegas NBA franchise. Yeah, part
owner of Liverpool FC since twenty eleven, Matt, that's your
squad because of the Beatles, No, or were they Everton people? No,
but I thought they were Liverpool. But McCartney's not a
Liverpool guy. M Maybe he's Everton.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Yeah. By the way, my son is just devastated that
how bad Tottam has been this year. I know he
says I'm not gonna be relegated. But the it's Paul.

Speaker 3 (58:18):
McCartney supports Everton. They're they they're in Liverpool as well.
They're the rivals. So it's like Clippers and Lakers.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
No, I would say Liverpool is the story team that
always wins championships, but Everton has been there a long
long time.

Speaker 3 (58:31):
So Mets, Yeah, Matt Yankees kind of thing. Yeah, okay, gotcha.
I found the cantoy. The Jets they're more than Actually
they're more. Everton is more the Jets, with the Liverpool
being more of the giants. Okay, would you say, Dan,
I found the canty freaking out over a thunder snow?

Speaker 1 (58:48):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (58:48):
Thank god? Hopefully it translates to radio. Oh, yes, yes, yes,
we got it. Baby, we got it, We got it.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Whoa, whoa, we got it.

Speaker 8 (59:04):
Yes, listen to that. Listen to that.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
Oh, baby, you got it. I think can toy could
do a rocket game.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
He just's he described a thunderclot or whatever thundersnow like
I would describe.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
A big basket. Yeah hmmm. He was excited. My god.
All right, So what do you think does Cantry call
the show at some point?

Speaker 6 (59:27):
No?

Speaker 2 (59:28):
Yeah, I think you're right. Well, I thought Dan knew somebody,
who knew somebody? Why don't you Dan somebody? Yeah, I
mean I could reach out to you. I mean a
weather channel is the weather channel based out of Atlanta? Yes,
don't you know everybody in Atlanta? I know some people
with the weather channels.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
Dan's connected by the way you had you guys, said
Kevin Harlan on the other day. I'm very leary of
asking him because he's so ridiculously busy. Did you annoy
him till he finally said yes, Well come on, No,
I went through the proper channels, and it came up
at the last minute because the person who was supposed
to let me know he was joining us was like, hey,
did it work out with Kevin? I was like, I

(01:00:02):
never heard back from you, and then they were like, oh, hey,
can you do it? At this time I was like, well,
of course he's Kevin Harlan. Yes, good National Treasure. How
do you do on the Rockets Kings call?

Speaker 5 (01:00:12):
Was?

Speaker 4 (01:00:12):
He? Was?

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
He very complimentary of the Rockets. I think it was good.
They yeah, they? I mean who was he?

Speaker 10 (01:00:18):
Who?

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Stands good?

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
I like Stan, No, he got some details wrong about
the Rockets just because they don't watch every game.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
It's fine.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
And he carried it over to the conversation with us
the next day, where he was like, if you're a
Rockets in Texans fan, you need to feel really good.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Well I feel better.

Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
So one time I reached out to Harland this year
was when they were playing the Patriots and he couldn't
do it. And normally when broadcasters or any any guests
we try to have on says, hey, I'm really busy.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
I can't join you. I wish it could.

Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
He gave me the rundown of what he was doing
for three days and the reason why he couldn't do
I was like, even when in rejection, Kevin Harlan's and
I said, sweetheart, yes, and we'll be on the new
Apple And excuse me, the Amazon Prime coverage not confirmed yet,
it's gonna happen. So what do you mean he's supplanting
on Michaels or additional No, this is a basketball Next
I saw it was the Number two crew. I was like,

(01:01:11):
if you're bringing over Kevin Harlan, wouldn't you make him
the one one?

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
And I got it. I think it's a they're so different.

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
I know I would say, slightly more polished job from
Iron Eagle, don't correct him, lot of slip screen. I
know he's an incredibly nice guy too, super super guy.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
It just depends on the style you wanteh.

Speaker 3 (01:01:34):
If you think that maybe Kevin casually goes over the top,
then you're gonna say, I'm gonna lean Iron. If you
want the capture the big moment for the highlight reel,
it's Kevin Harlan. Yeah, Iron Eagle doesn't have memorable calls.
Kevin Harlan has memorable calls. But if you're looking for
fluidity for sixty minutes or three hours, it's probably.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Like a puppet master.

Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
I feel like Harlan's just really a conductor. I feel
like Harlan's just really good at reading the moments like there,
but sometimes he does slightly over well, don't you say,
I smerte him at all? The great they're great, not
like they're no Matt Thomas on a four letter network,
per se that might do games with the guy that

(01:02:18):
sells furniture and was once the Bachelor.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
Oh you're ripping on test Tour. That's my guy. He's
a nice guy. It's I like test and I like
tests on the blow by blow boxing, I think he's
mean because nobody pays boxing.

Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
They don't do boxing ANYMOREY don't do much and he Now, okay,
I thought that was short lived. Oh no, he's on Okay,
I'm sure alright, twelve year olds left him. We need
some gut feelings from y'all. Oh god, nothing, it's not difficult.
You're not You still have an hour to the NFL
rewind and the news had me remember an idea before

(01:02:55):
the show, and I forgot it. You're talking about zero
surprise news at noon? Are we talking about news and
noon at twelve? More often news and noon at twelve?

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
Wasn't that tummat? You'll? They got a good dealer.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
This is their gut feeling on the Matt Thomas Show.
All right, I've decided to up the any on Jim Cantoorre.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
I'm gonna get him two great seats with the Rockets
Cavalier scheme tomorrow if he calls in.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
Well, if the game's canceled. Oh, then it was at
least worth a try. You really, you were really Jones
And for some Jim Cantor, I've never seen you go
this hard after a guest in your life. Well, I
don't like to use Twitter as an avenue to get guess,
but I think, I mean, what else are we going
to talk about here? Do you want to really get
into tex me o line? Yeah, we got gut feelings. Now,
we got news at noon coming up NFL rewind believe

(01:04:11):
it or not. In all of our wonderful colors talking
about the snow, Matt I've had. The last car we
took was sniffing glue and San Antonio. We had took
some after that, right, No, that was the last car.
Talking about the blizzard.

Speaker 3 (01:04:25):
There's a blizzard warning in Lake Charles right now, I
only smokes, all right, then, less Cantory. More of the
colors on Gut Feelings seven one three two one two
five seven ninety seven one three two one two five
seventy they're saying five point two inches in Beaumont. Huh

(01:04:51):
four point four and a half. By the way, Channel
thirteen fixture graphics. I can't figure out what the hell
you're there, we go I can read it well. Now
they're four inches in central Houston of snow. Look at
you prefacing two and a half around where we are
tall as this weather girl, she's got to be at
least six feet tall. Geez, I don't know why are

(01:05:11):
you worried about that? Look at the graphic. I wish
she could cover more of the screen if she's taller.
It's good, it's good. Do you look for a good
wingspan and a weather girl? What's her wingspan?

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
So she can reach one end of the screen? Armstd
don't you think it's beneficial? Well, it'd be like just
hasn't been helpful If you're scouting weather girls, aren't you?

Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
Aren't you going for for length? I guess linked of
her with yeah, hmm, she's got to be six feet tall.
She's yeah, yeah, she's got like Victor Wimbinyama would be
a great weather person.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
Adam Clanton wouldn't agree. Yeah, I know, he'd call him
a bum. Yeah, even though it's gonna be an all star,
he's averaging twenty five and ten and four blocks a game.
That's bum status all right. Time nown for some gut feelings.

Speaker 3 (01:06:06):
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven And we'll call
this to Adam Clant rule.

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
Victor webin Yama. My gut feeling will be an NBA
All Star. Oh well unless he literally fractures both as
Tibby as the next week. Yeah, that's that's a good one.
I like that.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
Wimby is All Star. Okay, I will go next Matt. Oh,
we didn't got a review from last week? Please do
you said Kansas Kitty covers? This is the eight and
a half they did. Yep, they tried not to. We
were a blocked field goal away from getting the cover. Unfortunately,
Rockets two and one on the road trip. That is correct.
That is also correct. That's two hits. You said Dion

(01:06:49):
Sanders will not be Cowboys next hood coach TBD, but
I'm with you on that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
We also we also co put our names on that
first time in the history of the show. Why first
time in the history of the show. Why do we
do that? Alex Bregman signed within the next two weeks.
It's been a week. One more week, right, You of
aged Cougars lose only two or fewer conference games, and
they almost lost to Central Florida on Saturday, but at
late basket was the game winner. So very happy about that.

(01:07:15):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
If for those of you you haven't figured out yet,
tonight's game with Utah hasban pushed back to tomorrow five o'clock.
If you're going to play in Utah, Utah utes for
suston Cougar's. Oh, they're suppos play tonight, but they're playing
tonight I thought was already postponed before. Right, Well, I
mean just freshing people. I'm just asking everything is close
today Texans. I had Texans covering the eight and a
half and well, if Kenymie Fairburn wasn't missing so many

(01:07:38):
field goals, I would have been good.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
Don't forget the extra point too. Yeah, Dion will not
coach the Cowboys. I'm with you on that. I also
said you stole mine.

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
I said Alex Bregman was going to sign in the
next two weeks, and you said put me down on
that as well.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
So those are my three.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Connor Toma Governor find Lad from Limerick had the Chiefs
as well, covering Rockets three and one over their next
four games. They lost the Pistons, So that's an well right,
and they lost to the Kings, and that's all he had.
Dan Matthews actually when he was filling in for you
wanted a gut feeling. He has Ryan Presley being traded
with the Astros signing a left fielder. Neither one of

(01:08:13):
those things have happened so far. Doesn't mean they can't.
There's time Hater happened later in the week this time
last year. You have Wimby as an All Star yep.
Then Ryan Pressey duct us at FanFest because Josh Hater
got signed. You will be getting justin Verlin aer on
fan Fast unless you're going Giants fan Fast.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
No, I'm good, no real loss.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
I will go with Bobby Slowick will be the offensive
coordinator for the Houston Texans next year.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
You not buying the internet rumors? How about this?

Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
I'm sorry. Either that or he'll get hired somewhere else. Well,
I don't think he'll be hired as a coach either,
but I think he will be here at the very
least he will not be replaced.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
I'm gonna still go with a gut feeling. Feeling.

Speaker 3 (01:08:56):
Gut feeling is Bobby Slow against the offensive Cordner next year?
Still my gut feeling. Doesn't mean it's guaranteed. Doesn't put
my name on it, but just gut feeling, and say,
with Sean and Brian, keep an eye on Robert Sala
if he gets that job in Jacksonville, maybe that's a
parachute for him. Okay, yeah, I guess that they work
together in San Francisco. But can you go for a
lateral job. Why not if you're gonna possibly get fired

(01:09:19):
or be on a short leash somewhere else, restart the
clock somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
Okay. I will also say that Week one for the
Minnesota Vikings, their starting quarterback will not be Sam Darnold.

Speaker 3 (01:09:33):
I won't claim that one, but I would I completely
agree with. I just say he will not be a Viking.
Sam Donald gets signed away by something.

Speaker 2 (01:09:41):
I think the money is going to be.

Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
They don't want a franchise tame, they don't want to
pay him forty something million dollars, and they look they
drafted JJ McCarthy for a reason. Um, bobbi we My
super Bowl prediction is not in play anymore. Baltimore lost
and attracst oh Orry Matt Well get ahead Baltimore Eagles.
But preseason I had Niners, Chiefs, Well, I had I

(01:10:03):
had Bengals Niners. I feel terrible about that. I'll go
ahead and give you a gut on this.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
I will say Buffalo and Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
Man, Jaydon Daniels is on a freight train right now.
I'm gonna go with the Chiefs and Eagles too. I'd
be a rematch from a couple of years ago. Correct,
Chiefs Eagles. Yeah, we were in Philadelphi when that happened.
By the way, I didn't know. Sorry, Bill's Eagles, Attle,
You're going Bill's Eagles. Okay, I'm gonna go Bill's Bill's
Eagles too. But man, just don't feel great about it,

(01:10:41):
feels Mamby, Pamby. I can't claim all these I had
Chiefs preseason. You have to stick with the Chiefs. Yeah,
I think, yeah, yeah. What's the line on that one?
By the way, Bill's minus two or something.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
Can't be much. What's the weather gonna be like, twelve
degrees below zero?

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):
Probably, let's see it's Bill Nope, Kansas City minus two,
m interesting, Philly minus six. There must be Assuming that
Jayde Daniels is gonna come to earth a little bit
here that rookie quarterbacks are not supposed to leave their
team to Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:11:17):
And Eagles defense is really good, but Jaydon Daniels has
just been unstoppable. So I don't even know.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Yeah, all right, seven one three, two two five? Dan,
you have anymore your gut feelings? You want to get
in before go the phones?

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:11:29):
He talking to somebody? Yeah, I had somebody on the phone.
Got all right. So I've got two. I've got both
road teams win on Championship weekend. I've got a super
Bowl of Commis in Buffalo, and the Rockets are gonna
split with the Cabs. They usually don't put together two
back to back bad performances, so I think there's gonna

(01:11:50):
be some inspired basketball if they play tomorrow night.

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
Hmmm, we'll see. I'm gonna go gut feeling they played
tomorrow night? Fair No, no, no, no, I see you
going to your phone?

Speaker 5 (01:12:06):
No no, no.

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
If if I thought they had, if I had in
some information, I wouldn't even I would That would be
disingenuous of me to give that out.

Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
My god, inside information. All I know he is on
a recordeen Pilis and a row all.

Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
No one is on a recorded line. The Cavaliers are
here in town. That's all I'm saying. They flew They
flew in yesterday to get here before the airport's closed.
Now did the referees I know for a fact the
referees left, they worked yesterday's game, have left town. So
did the other referees get here in time to sit

(01:12:39):
in a hotel today to referee tomorrow night? The airport's
been shut down. You didn't know that, I said. I'm saying,
aren't they been shut Downeah? Yeah, they closed at midnight
last night?

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
Yeah? All right, busting them in. Get you in there, Maddie.
You give us a tight forty eight. I'm gonna get
so tired, Are you kidding me? All right? I think
of the foul. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:12:59):
Well, i'd be the one calling the foul eighty feet
away from the plant, just standing in my stet.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):

Dealing Lunchtimer's gut feelings continue now on the Matt Thomas Show.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
Grant E eleven forty nine, Grant, what is in your gut?
This week? My friend Grant, YO, how's it going?

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
Guys?

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
Great? Thank you for calling. What's in your gut? My
gut was with all this wintry weather.

Speaker 12 (01:14:45):
The city of Houston will have an HL team by
at least two thy thirty. I think it's coming.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
I think it's the biggest.

Speaker 12 (01:14:55):
Market that's missing in the NHL right now in North America.
And there's a lot of opportunity here, a lot of
transplants from other cities up north, and a lot of
folks love some hockey.

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
I think it'll be here sooner than later.

Speaker 7 (01:15:08):
Guys, you'll have a good day.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
Thank you very much, Grant. I'm gonna piggyback off of that.
I'm gonna put my name on something.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
Put your name on it, Maddie. We write this hold on,
let's get the file out. That's great. You know I
stand for something. Ross few radio hosts in his town
stand for anything.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
Can I like, bring a desk bell if you bring
genius to the show. That's a dated reference.

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
I have no idea what you're talking about. Yeah, oh,
we talked about this person last night. No, so don't know.
Let's move on.

Speaker 3 (01:15:42):
I don't know, all right, what do you put your
name on, Maddie when the NHL expands, I don't know
when that is Houston, No doubt in my mind will
be an on. It will be a home of an
NHL franchise with expansion. Put it on the board, lock

(01:16:03):
it in. You're getting an NHL franchise. I just don't
know when. Easy for you to say, in the middle
of a snowstorm feels more wintery it if it was
seventy four degrees, that was an exact same.

Speaker 2 (01:16:13):
Put Oh man, I'm putting my name on it. Okay, man,
it's get out. The question is usually do expansions in twos.

Speaker 3 (01:16:26):
I can't decide if it's going to be between Kansas City, Phoenix,
or Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
That I can't figure out. Atlanta's had two shots at
it right, yes, but Atlanta continues. I mean, Atlanta's a
huge sports market. They continue to want to put teams there.
I mean, the the MLS team was pulling fifty K game.
Yeah crazy. So trying to Phoenix, I always felt like
they the kyodies left under terrible terms, and Kansas City's

(01:16:55):
got an NBA NHL ready arena right this second. Now,
Phoenix doesn't have that, So let's Phoenix may be a
little bit behind Atlanta. Saint Farmarina is ready to go.
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (01:17:05):
Is tell me going to rent the place or what's
the deal with that? Or own a team? He's talked
about it. You're asking with the comments, you're asking for
the deeds. I don't have the deats. What's going on
with the commets return? Yeah, I don't know about that.
But when when the NHL expands, there will be a
franchise in Houston, Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
You can put it on the board. Yes, thank you,
thank you. We're not gonna have to pay attention now
right uh? Willson players Hun Eric in Siana Plantation. Eric,
good after, good morning, you're on seven ninety. What's on
your mind and what's in your gut?

Speaker 10 (01:17:39):
Good morning, how y'all guys doing today?

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
Good?

Speaker 10 (01:17:42):
Good?

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
My thing?

Speaker 10 (01:17:43):
My gut feeling.

Speaker 2 (01:17:44):
I just think it's my gut great.

Speaker 10 (01:17:47):
Bergman will come back to the Astros at the last
minute desperation because he really wants to stay in Houston,
but money talks and all things.

Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
He cool.

Speaker 10 (01:17:58):
I think he'll stay Hue, which will bring a dilemma,
because what we're gonna do with an orny third basement?

Speaker 3 (01:18:06):
Hold on, okay, got you know, Eric, if you're right
about this, I'll give you credit. So you don't pay
somebody one hundred and fifty six million dollars to create
a dilemma.

Speaker 2 (01:18:15):
Right, Am I right about that? No? I mean yes,
but I mean figure it out. What would you do? Really?
Just can Partis play in the outfield? I think you
would have to.

Speaker 3 (01:18:28):
Some people have thrown out the idea of you move
Jeremy Pania to the outfield see gold gloves shortstop, though,
I just you you can live with his production at
shortstop and left field. Kneed a little something out of
that bat.

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
Brother.

Speaker 3 (01:18:47):
If Bradman was to come back to the Astros, it
would have to be You'd have to have some sort
of I mean amazing shift of somebody playing something you've
never heard of before. Est Ippretis has not played an
inning of outfield at the major league level. Okay, well
then that you know that's I'm saying. It would be
one of those undeliverable moves of players like Craig Vigier

(01:19:07):
going from catcher to second base or second base to
say a field.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
What about Christian Walker? Is he played a little bit
of outfield three? Yeah, No, I'm just saying, I don't know.
You're not moving out of first base. You're saying for
a few games. Yeah, I'm asking. I'm not getting up.
I think, frankly, I played one game outfield. I don't
think when you go up to Joe a spot and say, hey,

(01:19:32):
would you like to expecting to be on your team,
I don't think he's gonna say no, we're good.

Speaker 3 (01:19:34):
I think he had to say what he had to say.
Christian Walker played one game of left field in twenty eighteen.
So no, I'm just looking at there's no options.

Speaker 2 (01:19:42):
No, I don't. I just don't see it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:43):
Unless, again, you took somebody and said, all right, Jamie Pinion,
go work in the outfield.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
But Rossie weren't training camp. Spring training is in four weeks.

Speaker 5 (01:19:54):
They're not.

Speaker 2 (01:19:55):
If that was to happen, then you would take somebody
and you would put them in those defensive positions and
you'd say, here's this glove to play this position, December,
go do it, go learn it.

Speaker 4 (01:20:06):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
I mean I love for Bregman to come back.

Speaker 3 (01:20:09):
I just don't.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
What do you I don't know how you would do
it unless you again, you have to move somebody pain.
I go, well, and that's bregnant at short and that's
its scenario more than likely. Yeah, but why would you
tell you he doesn't have the rangey us?

Speaker 3 (01:20:25):
Why would you take your your long term future shortstop
presuming and and alter his I mean, why would jeremy opinion,
want to embrace a brand new position for the first
time into his professional career.

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
You wouldn't. That's the point. It ain't happening.

Speaker 3 (01:20:40):
No, I think I think a spot I was putting
in a difficult situation and said, of course we would
like to have I mean, what what what if he
what if he had done the opposite? No, we got
Peretis at third, we got Walker first. We appreciate Bergmann's time,
but we moved on. People would come across as him
being a big time alice when it comes to his players,

(01:21:02):
and Joe's not gonna do that. Hestick Pretis has not
played a game of shortstop since twenty twenty three. He's
played seven in his career, five starts. I mean that
would that would be a ship that you could now,
what are we doing here?

Speaker 2 (01:21:16):
We're not doing this. Can I add one last last
minute anything for you? This is a snow day. Nobody's listening.
You're good, Go ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:21:23):
Jerry Jones Jared has nostalgic memories of Jimmy Johnson's time
that for his next head coaching higher he goes to
the college ranks.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
And grabs Marcus Freeman. Whoa, whoa.

Speaker 3 (01:21:44):
Now, if I'm Marcus Freeman, I don't take the job.
You've got a great job. Is this cocko jobin phild Yeah,
it's been by Ben Johnson, Ben Johnson.

Speaker 2 (01:21:53):
Thirteen million dollars a year for Ben Johnson.

Speaker 3 (01:21:58):
He'd better be. He better turn around on that entire offense.
They haven't had a decent offense since win Walter Payton
was at running back.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
It's been about then.

Speaker 3 (01:22:06):
Even when the Bear, when the Bears are going the
Super Bowl, they still in a sucky offense. They did
with Rex Grossman. I think some of the j Cutler
Brandon Marshall years were decent. I guess Devin Hester. Yeah,
but yeah, he was returning kicks.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
That was their best offense with an occasional wide receiver returns.
That's right, all right, let's go to to wrap things up.
We have our open for our for our friend James
is count on. Here's James. You're on seven on me.
What's in your gun? James? James, Yes, you're on. Okay,

(01:22:41):
hold on, hold on all right, God, hilarious. Hi James,
what's on your mind?

Speaker 5 (01:22:57):
Hey, thank you govern the Thomas for taking my call.
I hope you guys are having fun over there at
the station like many people here outside.

Speaker 2 (01:23:05):
Yeah, we're up, we're playing the James has been a
real ball over here.

Speaker 5 (01:23:10):
Okay, okay, listen, I got a couple of gun fit
these real quick.

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:23:14):
First of all, Bregman, I mentioned to you guys a
long time ago, he's going to the Red Sox. I
don't know what the stall is going on, but he's
heading over there. Also, football wise, look a lot of
haters hate the Chiefs, but the Chiefs is heading back
to the super Bowl. Not quite sure who their opponent is,
but it doesn't make a difference. And then I think

(01:23:35):
if the Astros are going for an out either, they
should be looking at Alex Berdugo, another ex Red Sox,
and I know he played for the Yankees. And also
I wanted to know what do you guys think about
Andy Pettitt maybe, you know, getting in in the Hall
of Fame one day, because I mean, she Seester Bator
was supposed to be elected. And I don't think he's
that much better than Andy Pettitt. But anyway, that's just

(01:23:57):
my humble opinion. Thank you for taking my call.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
Thank you very much, Thank you, thanks for joining us.
James in sixty six wf an, you're a New York
sports leader. Patnan's not getting the Hall of Fame. Sorry,
all very good. Yep, that's it. CC Sabathia all very good,
very good, not getting in. Sorry you. And there's plenty
of Yankees in the Hall of Fame pool And what

(01:24:25):
was the prem Milwaukee Brewers legend of CC Sabathia Cleveland Indians. Yeah,
he might actually be a legend. Yes, at the time
Indianstitute was there for a few years.

Speaker 3 (01:24:35):
Yeah, all right, that's it for gout Felix today. Thank
you for James for calling in, which caused me, Governor.
I appreciate that. I don't even know why, because one
time we were talking about the legislature and how I
should run, and he thought it would be gren idea.

Speaker 2 (01:24:47):
He'd be he'd be my campaign man. What's your platform?
Lower you ready? Yes, lower prices on sporting events. I
like this.

Speaker 3 (01:24:57):
Uh, free parking at sporting events, baggage fees with their carriers,
no baggage fees.

Speaker 2 (01:25:03):
Oh you got my vote, and lower concession prices. And
anybody that wants to play blackjack has to go through
a blackjack class. Oh okay, a mandatory blackjacket class, and
then your secretary of state will be a Taylor Mathis

it'd be worse.

Speaker 10 (01:28:25):
Here.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
Let me get this on a here. You're way off
the wrong thing. Jesus, all right, this works? All right, Matt,
record record of snow you're sports your thoughts on the
snow storm? Hitache Matt. By the way, I watched a

(01:28:47):
new version of the Hollywood Squares. It's absolutely terrible. Oh
we're getting the U from Tulsa. Man, that's what's happening here. Yeah,
I told you che to the other one. Mm hm,
back to what I was saying, to find it. Nate
Burleson should not be hosted that. Burrow said, why why
is it upset you so?

Speaker 1 (01:29:02):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:29:02):
Because I'm sure he does a fantastic No, he doesn't.
And you know the center square is on the Hollywood Square,
Trampty in Soil, Comic Dogs. He's on there. It's Drew Barrymore.
Oh good fighting. Not a youngster under any circumstance. How
is she looking these days? I've always been a fan.
Triumph was the top left? You asked for a verbal
answer to a question and you just get a guttural

(01:29:23):
noise from Matt Thomas.

Speaker 3 (01:29:25):
Right upper left corner is Triumph. Upper right hand corner
is Whitney Cummings. Excuse me, Whitney Cummings a comedian, comedian
female coming uh come again? She is in the Drew
Berry Morrison the center square lower left, I don't remember
in the lower right.

Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
I want to say, is I don't know? I just
I watched bits and pieces of two episodes. I was
so hated.

Speaker 3 (01:29:49):
Just give me a real game show host like me?
What's wrong with Nate Merleson? Does Nate Burleson come across?
He as a game show host? Is it owned by Disney?

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
Why is he?

Speaker 4 (01:29:57):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:29:58):
Why did they get him to do it? It's so random?
It's a CBS show. Drew Barrymore on CBS. Yeah, he
does the NFL today.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
They just put a little pad on your on your
contract so you don't have to pay somebody else a
whole new salary. That's what they're doing. Man, I've heard
about it. I heard about that going around. It's overproduced.
It's not funny, the canned laugh in what way. It's
just it looks like if you you know what a
TV show looks like. What's overproduced. It's got the quips
of the different people laughing at stuff. It's just, oh,
it's bad.

Speaker 3 (01:30:26):
I just want my regular game shows like I watched
when I was a kid, and I can't get that anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
They're trying too hard. They blew the pyramid, they blew
the Hollywood Squares. It's uh. Card Sharks was a disaster.
Just let me run these shows. America, you just got
the absolute best breakdown of game shows you'll ever get.
You're welcome, sit and enjoy. Thank you, Matt. Wow, I

(01:30:52):
spilled some ships. Continue on because I I got a
seven hours. Also, America, you the literal first ray the
rule of radios. Don't eat. In the middle of the segment,
Matt shovels a bunch of Doritos in his mouth just now,
So I guess I'm gonna talk. So I have some
other sports news to get to.

Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
I guess here, Matt, let's go ahead and start with
the Houston Texans. Did you hear Demiko Ryans is not
so ringing endorsement of Bobby Slowak when he asked about
the job that he did this season.

Speaker 7 (01:31:23):
I think overall, with Bobby saw some gross saw some
improvement throughout the year.

Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
Normally, I mean maybe that's a little has me a
little bit worried about my gut feeling, because normally Demiko
Ryans is gonna be like, yeah, look he got better.
He does a good job.

Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
He's here all the time and works hard and really
impressed by Bobby Sloak in his work ethic.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
It was just like, I saw some improvement.

Speaker 3 (01:31:48):
Normally, Dimiko will coach speak it to death, and he
did not in this instance with Bobby Slowick. He's usually
so prepared for any question, and he had to be
prepared for that one. He had to have known that
was coming too.

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
Yeah, I'm still gonna hold on to the thought that
I don't think slog loses his job. Now, We'll be
with you. It's a line coach, Yes, I think so.

Speaker 3 (01:32:13):
But also, uh, I was a little intrigued by that
answer or non answer as it were, by one Demiko
Ryans also Matt. Unfortunately the Houston Rocket's losing last night
to the Detroit Pistons. They are now twenty eight and
fourteen on the season, only a half game ahead of
the Memphis Grizzlies. For that number two spot in the

(01:32:35):
West cade Cunningham going off for thirty two points.

Speaker 2 (01:32:39):
He was huge in the third. What happened there? Coach
Udoka didn't feel like anybody that could really stop him.
He got two spots and plays at a good pace.

Speaker 7 (01:32:47):
And yeah, he got loose there, obviously after doing a
decent job on him in the first quarter, first half.

Speaker 2 (01:32:53):
So credit to him. Put a lot of bodies on him.
He cut the shots he wanted and made him.

Speaker 3 (01:32:58):
You know, would be better for this segment if you
played a hollot of me calling a Ky Cunningham basket
to ex we don't have any of those.

Speaker 2 (01:33:05):
Wait, why are we not?

Speaker 3 (01:33:06):
We have to carry some holots of other teams. We'll
talk to your boys, Wex and Clanton. Geez dear, oh gosh,
I'll you know what. I'll send you all twenty highlights
and you can just listen to them tonight and put
yourself to sleep.

Speaker 2 (01:33:18):
No, I will be a wide awake. I'm like god,
this is brilliant. Uh. Jalen Green a bad time for
him to have him to have a dud of a night.
He had nine straight games of twenty plus points, only
got nineteen on twenty one shots, Fred Van Vliet, I
mean the entire team offensively just not good enough against

(01:33:38):
the Detroit Pistons. Will they play against the Keveland Cleveland
Cavaliers tomorrow? Mat Thomas says, yes, yes, they're gonna. I look, obviously,
if the City of Houston says don't come downtown, because
here's the in the in. The reality is the weather
traffic wise, is gonna be five hundred times worse than
it is today because everybody, for the most part today
is staying home.

Speaker 3 (01:34:00):
People are gonna get a little bit of cabin fever Rossi.
And that's where I think the actions could come into
play because the weather, it's still gonna freeze up this
slush snow, and it's going to take a legitimate forty
five fifty degree day, Rossi for this stuff to to clear.
And until that happens, traffic in getting around will be difficult.
But I still think they're going to figure out way
to play the game. All right, Man, here's a story

(01:34:21):
that actually had last week for the News at Noon,
but it still works.

Speaker 5 (01:34:24):
Here.

Speaker 3 (01:34:24):
Do you know Charles huff Is Matt the head football
coach for Southern Mississippi. Charles huff In an interview, talked
about the biggest challenge that he faced this year.

Speaker 2 (01:34:38):
Is it the nil stuff?

Speaker 4 (01:34:40):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:34:40):
Is it the transfer portal, social media?

Speaker 4 (01:34:42):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:34:43):
The biggest issue he had with his players all season
long was them coming to him and complaining about their
college football twenty five video game rankings.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
Huff saw his players complain about their rankings. Some even
came to his office not to talk shop or how
they would get better, but to air their grievances about
the ratings that a sports placed on them, begging the
coach to get their ratings higher. Can I mean brutally honest.
They gotta be lucky. They got to be very satisfied.
They even got on. And so the mis goot on
college rankings begin with you ever been hattes pretty much sippy? No,

(01:35:17):
it's the plumber's butt of America. It's like the ass crack.

Speaker 4 (01:35:20):
The.

Speaker 3 (01:35:22):

residual game. We're still playing shows in Florida. Uh would
you go see? Would you go see a concert involving
just the Pips only?

Speaker 10 (01:40:08):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:40:09):
Would you go?

Speaker 3 (01:40:10):
Most of them were probably Lewis has lost his hearing
so he can't sing anymore like Beethoven.

Speaker 2 (01:40:15):
Would you go hear the news? I'd go hear the news.
I'm good? All right. It sounds like they It sounds
like most of these people would end up in reco
Star's all star band. Great. Great. This guy was in
the news that hits That hurts right. Here's the backup
drummer from EL speaking of that.

Speaker 3 (01:40:32):
How do you feel about just going to see a
concert with the Wings without Paul McCartney.

Speaker 2 (01:40:36):
How are the rest of the Wings doing these days?
How about this one? Would you go see the Mechanics
without Mike? I don't remember Mike and the Mechanics. You
don't know Mike and Mechanics. Would they have?

Speaker 3 (01:40:47):
They had a banger? Didn't they dan? Like a one
hit wonder? That's the first time supergroup. No, I've heard
of it, but it's a supergroup.

Speaker 2 (01:40:57):
What are some of their hits?

Speaker 10 (01:40:58):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:40:58):
Mike Rutherford who was in in Genesis? Okay, isn't Mike?
Their hits are silent running. All I need is a miracle.
All I need is a mirror all I need? Yeah, yeah,
those are Yeah, it's Living Years, Living Year is a
good song, word of mouth and over my shoulder, Yeah,
Living Years. I'm gonna have to download that. Mike and
the Mechanics had some hits, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:41:18):
Let me give you a couple of more that would
make me think of something on the somethings. Yeah, I
don't think you're going to do are You're not going
to see the Mechanics by this that's when you get
as high as possible and hit the synthesizer in the studio.
It worked the top in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (01:41:38):
Would you go see.

Speaker 3 (01:41:43):
Ninety nine maniacs? Naali Merchant wasn't there? Natalie Merchant was
the one. Yeah, she was the tenth. She was a
ten thousand mechanics maniac.

Speaker 2 (01:41:54):
Is that true?

Speaker 1 (01:41:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:41:56):
I won't believe you that.

Speaker 3 (01:41:57):
Just because the original is not around doesn't mean the
band cannot sold. It can. Soul drama can still suck.
Like Journey with that guy from uh wherever he's from.
I don't like him or anil pineda.

Speaker 2 (01:42:09):
Yeah, not good. Hmmm, well, Perry, let mean what what
what a low hanging through of these TV stations they're
if they're all at the same hill at UH at
Miller Outdoor Park. Oh they are.

Speaker 3 (01:42:22):
One of them was at Perland in Parland. They're not
doing four hours of live radio like we are. They're
like doing two minute hits. Like there's a b ball
court back there, but he's playing over there right now.
It's too slick. It's too slick, and they're in the day.
It gets a lot of sand build up, so it's
probably slushy over there.

Speaker 2 (01:42:39):
Yeah, I got you, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:42:41):
I think it concludes the number of bands I'm thinking
of with Mike and the Mechanics. Yeah, you wouldn't go
just the mechanics. What about the Miracles? Oh Smokey Robinson.
Oh no, You're not going to see a miracle without
Smokey Robinson.

Speaker 2 (01:42:53):
No chance. Oh how about this one, Diana Rawson, the Supremes.

Speaker 3 (01:42:57):
Just the rest of the Supremes doing it? I think
most of them are dead. I think Danna Ross still alive.

Speaker 2 (01:43:01):
Good for her.

Speaker 3 (01:43:01):
About Ray Charles and the Raylettees. What about James Brown
and the Famous Flames? He left them in the dust
a long time?

Speaker 2 (01:43:06):
I God, he did. He's like, get out all right?

Speaker 3 (01:43:12):
I think I think we've exhausted this conversation. Now it's
about that Texans offensive line. No, I was kidding your thoughts, Matt,
real quick?

Speaker 2 (01:43:19):
I Mason? Should he stay? Or should he? God? How
I mean?

That includes every Tuesday. We're going to this for fifty
two weeks a year.

Speaker 6 (01:45:34):
Oh, let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:45:35):
I think we need to look just a segment of
NFL just because I know there's wee stuff going on.
We present to Yes Ross in the NFL rewind.

Speaker 3 (01:45:43):
Yes, Matthew we will start off with the rewind with
some things going on in at Texanville. You guys mentioning
before the break, who is.

Speaker 2 (01:45:53):
Demico Ryans talking about here talking about encouraging guys to
work out in the off season the building to start.

Speaker 7 (01:46:02):
Everybody needs a little break to get started, allowed their
bodies to time a chance to you know, recover and
heal up because a lot of guys are dealing with
little knicks and injuries, so they need their bodies to heal.
And I encourage our guys and mainly a lot of
our young guys, to make sure they're here in the
off season working out as soon as we can have

(01:46:23):
our guys back in the building work and now, we
want our guys to take advantage of that and be
able to work out here, you know, with our staff
who knows their bodies the best. So that's what I
encourage our guys to do. It's very hard to show
up the first day of off season training to expect
yourself to be ready to go at training camp. That's
just a little too late and it's not enough time

(01:46:45):
that nine week window to get yourself ready to go
for the season. So you can make a lot of games,
a lot of strides and your physical health, your body.
You can be put yourself in a really good spot
to have a successful season if you start working out
as soon as possible, right right after the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:47:05):
You hear that Larimer tons interesting, get your lazy ass
into camp and work out and go to OTAs, go
to Mini Caamp.

Speaker 3 (01:47:12):
Sounds like he's calling I'm among the Laramie tunseel among them.
It sounds like he's calling out a lot of people.
I don't know who or what we'd have to get.
Maybe Texans wex on here, tell us who's at camp
and where I'm sure he has well, I know, if
having Texans all these years, Larry Tunseln Darnley has to
be there.

Speaker 2 (01:47:26):
I'm sure he has a plot of everyone and where
they're they're off seasoned.

Speaker 6 (01:47:29):
He is.

Speaker 3 (01:47:30):
He is the Peter Frampton of the Texas. Oh my god,
you're talking about the pro bowler Laramie Tunzel. Yeah, whatever,
just Sam only twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:47:41):
Five, he's making twenty one million dollars as a base
and then the next year as well under contract for
the Houston Texans. Is Laramie Tunzel. Let's go elsewhere around
the NFL.

Speaker 3 (01:47:53):
Of course, we know the big matchup of the weekend
was the Buffalo Bills taking on the Baltimore Ravens. The
thrill of victim the agony of defeat in both of
these calls, Matt. Let's start with the thrill of victory.
The Buffalo Bill's call of the failed two point attempt.

Speaker 2 (01:48:08):
Here's the snap Jackson rolling right, looking a toss.

Speaker 9 (01:48:11):
It and dropping the football in complete his mark Andrews.

Speaker 2 (01:48:17):
It wasn't a well thrown ball at all. It was
behind Andrews and oh, come on, come up with it.
It wasn't like well behind him. First of all, wasn't
well behind him. Second was a very short pass, so
there was sor been called. But also those short passes
they had problems with all day because it has more
steam on it, Yes, higher velocity if you will.

Speaker 3 (01:48:41):
I've looked at it five times at least. Yeah, he
needed to know he's calling it in the moment from
me from the from the booth. We'll give him a break.
Here is the Baltimore Ravens agony of defeat call of
the play for.

Speaker 2 (01:48:54):
The tie, the two point conversion. Lamar takes a snap,
roll to the right, throws complete the roll, Mark Andrews
hit him in their hands.

Speaker 9 (01:49:03):
And Mark Andrews dropped it as he fell.

Speaker 2 (01:49:06):
Into the end zone, one of the more shorthanded players
the Ravens in Ravens history, dropped it hit him right
in the hand. It did him, and then that the
call better than they called it as a catch. He
was ready to talk about how it's a Catchack, we're
going over are down. That actually hurt me. And I

(01:49:30):
didn't even have that much stock and no stock.

Speaker 5 (01:49:32):
In the game.

Speaker 2 (01:49:32):
It would be like me calling a throng all the
way down in well, hits the back of the iron. Oh,
no good, it's gonna go too hard, and then it
takes a friendly drop and falls right. M Man, that
actually hurt me hearing that call. Well.

Speaker 3 (01:49:48):
The Bills moving on to the conference championship game. They
are two point dogs right now on the road to
the Kansas City Chiefs, the other team. As far as
the agony of defeat, Dan Campbell teary eye as the
Lions lost to the Washington Commanders.

Speaker 2 (01:50:04):
It just hurts to lose, man. And I don't care
if you're the seven seed, six seed, five seed, one seed,
because I've lost in all of them down there and
it stings and it hurts, so you know, you know,
five turnovers. Thanks Fox for cutting that from that was like,

(01:50:24):
you know what, five turnovers for the Detroit Lions. That's
what it took for them to lose.

Speaker 3 (01:50:29):
The Washington Commanders also doing their thing, gaining nearly five
hundred yards, but the Detroit Lions the dragon has been slayed.
And on the other side of the coin, how about
Jayden Daniels with those two hundred and ninety nine yards
a couple of touchdowns, also had fifty one yards on
the ground, sixteen carries for him and the Washington Commanders.

Speaker 2 (01:50:52):
I don't want the Commanders because I don't really know
them very well. Yeah, don't you want to have a
dog in a fight, like you want to hate one team?
He's wrong. Terry McLaurin, Austin Et Clara Brown, Rominson Junior,
the Dynamic Diami Diami Brown. You know who zach Ertz is.
We can make fun of Philadelphia a lot more. You
don't want to tell you want to talk Olha made
is Zi Kaas talk on the show What's the Day?

Speaker 3 (01:51:12):
Alamada oh Alamaday whatever? You don't even know his name? Yeah,
same close enough Dan, I'm all right about this. We
want Philadelphia. They've got much more recognizable people we care about, honestly,
So Kwan Barkley's a beast. Yeah, and Jalen Hurt. I
mean there's Philly. Kansas City would be a tremendous But
a rookie quarterback starting being the number two overall pick

(01:51:33):
and then winning the Super Bowl in his first year
over slaying the dragon. That would be Pat Mahomes or
or John preventing Josh Allen from his first ring. I
think that's interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:51:41):
It's a wretched fan base that deserves nothing good.

Speaker 3 (01:51:44):
Really, Wow, I know nothing about the I mean, I
know nothing about the DC area or their fans.

Speaker 2 (01:51:48):
I would take Philly, Kansas City or Philly Buffalo. Yeah,
what about the Philly fans? Oh Bill Bill's I'm talking
about Bill's Mafi would be fantastic. Where's the game? New Orleans?
Oh Bill's Mafia and Nola Bill's New Orleans. They bring
a bunch of tables down instead of them on fire
and then jump on them. They gotta sell out a
yingling beer. Think about the bar fights too, Buffalo fan

(01:52:09):
fat girls and guys that are jumping on a tables.
Buffalo is big on the big on women. Yes, Hey,
the Knowlson, I'm trying to go y'all's bit here the
oh the Canyan beer Nolsen. Yeah they don't Yeah yeah, yeah,
Oh you're rhyming. Yeah, spend the night with my Matt's
MoU I mean other other other people's. Other people.

Speaker 3 (01:52:31):
Hey, other people have radio sponsors with beer. We don't
have our salesforce. And look ro rownd is really out
there hustling for us.

Speaker 2 (01:52:41):
What else you got? I don't know. You want to
talk about Rams Eagles to Kwan Barkley two hundred and
five yards on twenty six carries two touchdowns. The dude
is a freaking beast. Jalen Hurts didn't have to do
much of anything in that game, as the Los Angeles
Rams lose to the Philadelphia Eagles twenty eight to twenty two. Uh,

(01:53:02):
just pretend you're a Giants fan.

Speaker 3 (01:53:03):
You know, always talk about regrets of players that have
gone elsewhere and they've succeeded and we haven't been victimized
by too much here in town. Imagine being a Giants
fan watching a guy and you're within your own division,
one step away from going from a team that was
feudile that said they gave up on you to maybe
going to the Super Bowl, and they.

Speaker 2 (01:53:20):
Had the off season hard knocks or whatever, and they're like, yeah,
we can't play, we can't place sa Kwan Barkley, pay
him because.

Speaker 3 (01:53:27):
We got to keep Daniel Jones. It's Daniel Jones's time
to shine. Dude got cut in the middle of the season. Yeah,
well that's that's not even the viral clip that was
making it. It's Joe Shane the GM his son telling
him he should draft Jade and Daniels, and of course
Giants fans are glombing on to see.

Speaker 2 (01:53:44):
That's the keeps Daniel Jones and then cut him later.

Speaker 3 (01:53:47):
Would you rely on your son to make a serious
pick when it comes to a football I don't know
how good of a scout is he. I think he's
better in his dad, and it sounds like it's so far. Well,
most people are better than Joe Shane at this point,
although they're keeping him. So Brian d I still think
Brian Dables a good coach. It's been a bad situation.
I mean, I'm sorry he couldn't make it work with
Daniel Jones and then they didn't keep Saquon Barkley. I
don't know how much of that was his man. Isn't

(01:54:09):
that all one hundred percent of the GM?

Speaker 2 (01:54:10):
I would think so.

Speaker 3 (01:54:11):
All Right, when this program returns, which has been a
couple of minutes, Nick Saban tries to jump out on
the nil regulation conversation. M okay, And it's frankly to
me comical. So we'll get to that coming up. We've
got one today. We've got to believe it or not,

(01:54:33):
which is all things about snow or snowstorms or thunder,
snow or famous. I mean, how many snow I know
a meteorologists that have spurned the Matt Thomas.

Speaker 2 (01:54:42):
Show with Ross. Yeah, Jim can't talk, dude? What are
you doing? Do you think he's head to Louisiana?

Speaker 3 (01:54:49):
Like he's on the road because the weather in Beaumont
and New Orleans is way worse than it is here,
Like Houston sucks.

Speaker 2 (01:54:55):
I'm going east and I and so many of you,
so many nice people have retweeted him. I mean, what
are we doing, bro? What are we doing?

Speaker 3 (01:55:05):
Look, he's got twenty four other people. Twenty five people
liked it too, retweets, two comments. Come on, Jim and
he's on Twitter right now.

Speaker 2 (01:55:17):
He's talking about snow thunder in La right now, Irvington,
he's retweeting stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:55:23):
God, you know what, who's the second most famous weather?
Can we get out Roger On? I can't after that,
I can't name any other national people.

Speaker 2 (01:55:34):
I don't know. That's the only other one I know.
Willard Scott snow one. No, he's dead, geez, Jeane shall Still.

Speaker 5 (01:55:40):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:55:44):
I thought that was the movie cras movie critic. I
was thinking, but people on the Today Show dead Cisco.
Can we get Brian gumble On? What's Katie Kurrk doing
right now? Greg not available either?

Speaker 2 (01:55:55):
Greg's not available? Brian is.

Speaker 3 (01:55:59):
I mean, I guess the truth? Yeah, you're sick, Matt,
and you're the one who brought out Greg's name, not me.
I just all I said when he wasn't available, and
he's not. I mean, what's the problem with this? Can
we get any weather person to call? I guess we
can call Justin staple to. But you know what, he
worked this morning early, so I don't want to like,

(01:56:19):
he's probably napping. Eleam Malone. Billingsley's unavailable, he's retired. I
think he works for public radio anyway, can't come on. Uh,
Neil frank'st alive?

Speaker 11 (01:56:31):
I think so.

Speaker 3 (01:56:32):
Yeah, Neil still alive. Ed Brandon is no longer with us.
I'm murning out of people. I don't know who the
main thirteen guy is, or the main eleven guy or
the main twenty six guys.

Speaker 2 (01:56:42):
Travis Herzog is the main thirteen I believe. Yeah, Travis Herzog.
That sounds like a fullback for Oklahoma. It's something you
can play for the Cardinals, the Saint Louis Cardinals in
the mid seventies. Travis Herzog. He is a big grappler.
The air Apparents' Stan Musil Travis hazogull back said St.
Louis Sales football team. Yeah, would you say?

Speaker 10 (01:57:02):
Damn?

Speaker 2 (01:57:02):
Aren't you buddies with Cheetah?

Speaker 3 (01:57:04):
Uh? She also worked morning too. I don't like to
bother the weather in the morning with other people. What's
her name now, Cheatah Craft get married? It used to
be Jones or Johnson or Johnson. Yeah, okay, it was
so weird. Missy our ultimate Spurs fan. She's like, hey, Matt,
Cheetahs of the Angels Astros game, where you're at? You
should go meet her. So I went and met her,
and I sat with Cheetah's family for like five innings.
It was really crazy. They have a fairy dinner and everything.

(01:57:25):
They didn't kick you out, No, they loved me, like
sure you're drooling, you took. I took family pictures with
the Cheata craft, the Cheetah Johnson family.

Speaker 2 (01:57:32):
Sir, you haven't blinked two innings? Can you please leave? Turned?

Speaker 3 (01:57:38):

Shoon top of the art, first label lu Can. On
the way down three sixty High, I'll perish hanging Met
Thomas show CONTEENUS now ohone sports talk, some welcome board,
flagship station, off your rockets. Imagine that a TV station
once again at the same damn hill. ROSSI They've been

(01:59:29):
at this hill for hours. What do you want him
to do? Matt get on our get on one of
those things. Now guy's running a on cardboard cardboard box
in a catcher stand. This is pretty embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (01:59:46):
That's Sherman Chilenge there. Yeah, they're definitely at the middle
of Oh now they're now they're on a table. Yeah,
I told you they were on a table before. This
is not gonna well here she goes, Oh my god,
it's actually working pretty well for them. Oh yep, he slipped.
He's fall on.

Speaker 2 (02:00:04):
This is one. You know, you need to go back
to regular programming. We're missing the bold and beautiful for this. Sorry, Matt,
The CBS app will be there for me real quick.
A couple of days ago, Nick Saban on a radio
show says there needs to be regulation that one school
can't pay thirty million dollars for nil and the other

(02:00:26):
can't pay three.

Speaker 3 (02:00:28):
He wants regulation, a salary cap for it. He says
it's not good for the students that ultimately who wants
us Nick Saban.

Speaker 2 (02:00:35):
Oh, he wants a salary cap. He didn't seem to
say he didn't. Why did he publicly say that when
he was at Alabama? That's weird.

Speaker 3 (02:00:41):
When reached out, when we reached out to fifteen or twenty,
really high profile schools. They said, shut your bowmass up Nix.
We say, we have no, we have no interest in
bowlting Green being competitive with Florida State.

Speaker 2 (02:00:54):
So yeah, no salary cap on his salaries either, was there?

Speaker 1 (02:00:58):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:00:58):
There wasn't No.

Speaker 3 (02:01:00):
Well, what ultimately, what I think he is saying is
he's saying, if you don't salary cap it, then schools
are going to overpromise and underdeliver. And we've seen some
of that. We saw that with Forested Basketball just o today.
So oh yeah, man, we got you. We got you
for six million dollars, no problem, We're gonna take care
of you. And then you're about five million, seven fifty
shore old.

Speaker 2 (02:01:19):
Get you paid.

Speaker 3 (02:01:22):
Because really, I mean, I've never seen a n L agreement.
I'm sure there's some sort of legal representation to it.
I mean, have we seen a bunch of students sue
over this yet? I mean, just in Florida State, it's
only lawsuit I've heard about at the time. But you
know there's gonna be other schools renicking on this right
at to some point probably.

Speaker 2 (02:01:39):
Or just not. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:01:40):
Yeah, over promising, under delivery, yeah yeah. And I think
if you if you salary cap it and put them
under contracts. But then again, how much does that then
become Does the amateurism completely get out of the NC
doub Who knows, But it was just interesting that a
guy that I guarantee you ROSSI, if he was at
Alabama still would not be asking for any sort of

(02:02:03):
salary cap because he would want to make sure that
Oregon State had just as much of a chance as Auburn.

Speaker 2 (02:02:07):
And Alabama to grab the top players in the country.
M boy, they never have. It's funny. In professional sports,
they love the salary cap, well, not made baseball. Baseball doesn't,
but the Dodgers hate the salary cap.

Speaker 3 (02:02:23):
Football and basketball love the salary cap because it gives
San Antonio and Sacramento just as much of a chance
as the New York's In LA, it's a little different
and because it's not a it's more of a soft
cap with aprons, so Golden State can spend more on
average than Oklahoma City or San Antonio or Minnesota. It's
kind of a it's like the mean and it's like
the middle, the middle ground between the NFL and Major

(02:02:44):
League Baseball.

Speaker 2 (02:02:45):
Yeah, now, fairness.

Speaker 3 (02:02:46):
Saban was actually one of the outspoken ones at the
beginning when this was all coming on that he was
famous for saying, this is going to become free agency?

Speaker 2 (02:02:55):
Is that what we want?

Speaker 3 (02:02:57):
And I would think that those are involved at Alabama, Michigan, Ohio, State, Texas,
A and M make sure we're good with this. Oh
especially the last two years, the spending in the SEC
is going to be astronomical. Now, yeah, I do believe
that the pressure on the NIL has has forced guys
like Saban out.

Speaker 2 (02:03:14):
I bet you.

Speaker 3 (02:03:15):
I shouldn't say bet you, but I would firmly believe
if there wasn't NIL issues, that Saba was so bit coaching.
He's still around the sport. He's at ever every major game.
He's sound like he's sitting at his house, you know,
playing shuffle board.

Speaker 2 (02:03:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:03:28):
Publicly, he has said it was mostly because he didn't
want the negative recruiting that everybody was saying, Nick Saban's
going to retire by the time you're at the end
of the right, right, your your rope at Alabama, come
to us.

Speaker 2 (02:03:39):
Our coach is young or whoever whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (02:03:42):
Let's go to seven the phone seven one three two
one two five seven ninety seven one three two one,
two five seven ninety. Jamal's with us on the Matt
Thomas Show with Ross. Jamal, thanks for holding good afternoon.

Speaker 6 (02:03:55):
Hey you good afternoon man.

Speaker 2 (02:03:56):
Thanks for having me on shut all right, you're doing great,
Thank you? How about you?

Speaker 11 (02:04:00):
I'm okay man, just to enjoying the snow man.

Speaker 2 (02:04:03):
I got an option for the Texans. Man. I'm Jamal Corner.

Speaker 11 (02:04:07):
You can find me on X man, But I got
option for the Texans.

Speaker 1 (02:04:10):
Man.

Speaker 11 (02:04:10):
They can go out and get and explore the option
of Jeff Stoutland from the Eagles off of some line
coach and if they can put they can put that
that in one bag and then they when you go
grab him, you can go to you can go to
the draft, and then you can grab best available.

Speaker 2 (02:04:28):
How about that, guys, who's best available? Talking about whoever's
best draft?

Speaker 3 (02:04:35):
Yeah, oh yeah, I firmly believe the position that, yeah,
the Texans are going to go offensive line. They're gonna
have to go on offensive line in the first round.

Speaker 2 (02:04:43):
Right, Yes, that's but yeah, in terms.

Speaker 3 (02:04:47):
Of yeah, I don't I don't know who you're speaking about.
The offensive line coach of Philadelphia. I'm sure he sounds
wonderful and homework. His name is Jeff Scotland stout Land.
Jeff stout Land. That's a good name for an offensive
line coach. But if you're Jeff Stoutland, he's been there
since twenty thirteen.

Speaker 2 (02:05:06):
You're not gonna take a lotteral move. You gotta get
a bump. Oh yeah, you got little cash, talk count,
open up the check book, let's go.

Speaker 3 (02:05:13):
All right, people brought luggage. Just let on, guys, weren't
a Spurs shirt too?

Speaker 2 (02:05:19):
Oh terrible? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:05:23):
Yeah, probably thinks Manageroba was a really good point. So
Joe Mixon was cryptic and saying there's a big move coming.

Speaker 2 (02:05:30):
Is that T Higgins? Is that going to get Chip
Kelly as an offensive coordinator? I mean T Higgins? Is
this guy?

Speaker 3 (02:05:37):
Probably the guy too? I think he's more Joe Mixon's guy.
They played together on the Bengals. Yeah, but I've had
him on my fantasy league before. Yeah, but you're done,
as you're retired. Gut you got that right, sob out
sober fresh. I'm energized. I missed I missed the Toros.
You'm gonna miss the Toros. You miss him forever. One

(02:05:57):
of the legendary iHeartRadio Fantasy Eames. But honestly, I don't
think the Texans have the money for T Higgins. I
think they're pretty strapped financially. I don't think there's tremendous flexibility.
And I can obviously lets some people go and whatnot,
But I don't think when you look at you know,
every time this around this time, they always show teams
with as much cash.

Speaker 2 (02:06:16):
Yeah flush, I don't think the Texans are in that.
You know who they could resign and I would be
a loss for me if I they did resign Steffan Diggs.
I get that referend Riggs might not have much of
an our market. Referend Riggs runs a seven four forty. Hey,
you just need to get get open.

Speaker 3 (02:06:34):
When Dalton Schultz is faster than refernd Riggs, that means
he's probably always better Xavier Hudginson or Stefan Diggs, who's
cheaper well as a number two target, I guess probably
not gonna cost you much. I would imagine thirty one
coming off an ACL tear.

Speaker 2 (02:06:52):
But why but let me ask you this, why would
you want that?

Speaker 3 (02:06:55):
Why do you want to put his tea money in
a thirty one year old who, first of all uh,
is gonna piss somebody off eventually. I mean he's all
he gets grumpy everywhere he goes. So it's gonna be
not a matter of fine.

Speaker 2 (02:07:05):
He hadn't been one year. He was probably great.

Speaker 3 (02:07:07):
One year in Buffalo, he was probably fantastic one year
in Minnesota. He always gets he's a Jimmy Butler of
the NFL.

Speaker 5 (02:07:13):
He just is.

Speaker 2 (02:07:14):
No, it's different why this is a receiver.

Speaker 3 (02:07:17):
Probably Jemmy Butler can go out there and throw and
shoot fifty shots. Stefan Diggs can't go out there and
throw himself twenty targets. And that's why he'll get pissed,
go out there and bad. I wouldn't don't know. Yeah,
you said that was gonna happen when he was here,
and it didn't. Yeah, and I'm gonna be running And
it was a waste of a second round pick. By
the way, the Texans don't have a second round pick
because of this. Well, yeah, he was worth it. He
wasn't supposed to tear his acl.

Speaker 2 (02:07:38):
If he was on this team, they would have crushed
the Chiefs by twenty one, Was that right? Chris Paul Samstring.

Speaker 3 (02:07:47):
It'd have been nice if he and it had been
nice if he his knee and Tankdell's knee exploded on
the field.

Speaker 2 (02:07:53):
Yeah. By the way, Tank had a surgery over the weekend.
Good for him. Oh, I he had Ligamanson never even
heard of that. He tore.

Speaker 3 (02:08:00):
I believe we're gonna start calling him the bionic six
million dollars man because lcl a cl MCL. I don't
know what the w CL is.

Speaker 2 (02:08:08):
He tore that too.

Speaker 3 (02:08:10):
The amount of aluminum put in his leg. He's now
gonna run a sub four forty. It's it's gonna make
you go through metal detectors anymore. No, he cannot, but
he's going the fastest human being alive.

Speaker 2 (02:08:19):
That's good. Bank dal will be clocked at three nine
musein Bolt won't be able to catch him, okay, or
he never plays again in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (02:08:33):
I know, I know I won't bring it up, so
I won't at least the rest of the same Tank
Tee final hour The Matt Thomas Show with Ross is
coming up? Do you wan in the show tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (02:08:44):

it'll be great for the station. Sports Talk seven ninety
you're a home for your home teams. Okay, I guess
you're right. It would be good for the station. That's

compared to what what does Fox have on at this
time of the day.

Speaker 3 (02:11:21):
You know, is it Rich Eiland or something? No, I
don't think so what's no, we don't care. There's no

forget what I said earlier. Please please come to the station.
Are begging you.

Speaker 3 (02:11:50):
You will have zero listeners and putting on Doug Gottlieb
will cost you for long term.

Speaker 2 (02:11:56):
M you'd be feel the repercussions would reverberate.

Speaker 3 (02:11:59):
Yeah, it would be like it be like somebody puts
on seven ninety and goes, this is so bad, I'll
never listen again.

Speaker 2 (02:12:07):
So not just putting any pressure in you, guys. I
think it is the Doug Gottlieb Show.

Speaker 3 (02:12:12):
Oh all right, so let's if you do you know
about Doug Gottlieb. By the way, No, first of all,
a horrific radio host on our network. We don't carry
it for good reason. He's also the head.

Speaker 2 (02:12:22):
Coach of you W. Green Bay. Yeah, it wasn't somebody
dunking on him. One of the reporters was a schefter
who was a schefter.

Speaker 3 (02:12:29):
Okay, you W Green Bay playing in the very powerful
Horizon League. How are they doing? They have won two
games all season. Oh, they are two and eighteen. They
are zero to nine in the Horizon League. Their losses,

(02:12:51):
I believe include losing to a Division two school. Dang
udub green Bay. I mean they've made the tournament a
few times. Yeah, yeah, they have lost. Like trying to
figure out who the school was. They lost to h
Michigan Tech I believe is a non Division one. They
lost at home to Michigan Tech seventy two to seventy

(02:13:18):
your first year as a head coach, after basically saying
I can be a radio host and a college coach
at the same time, and you are two and free
freaking eighteen, that clearly can tell.

Speaker 2 (02:13:29):
You can't do both, man. That's uh.

Speaker 3 (02:13:37):
I mean, how do you recruit some How do you
recruit players to you to your two and eighteen foot
first of basketball? How do you recruit anybody to green Bay, Wisconsin.
When you're gonna play college basketball in the winter, Yeah,
you're probably busting everywhere you got. You think the roads
in Houston are bad, imagine trying to go from say
Green Bay to I don't know, Moleen, Illinois on a bus.

(02:14:00):
You're not flying to those places. You're busting them. His
bio at you w Green Bay has all these quotes
from these coaches talking about how great of a job
he's gonna do. Tom is Oh, I'm so excited when
I heard Doug was going to be the next coach
at Green Bay. Yeah, I wonder why, Oh shock and smart,
Doug Gottlie will be a terrific coach. Breaking news? Is

tell you something. If you needed him to back up shingoon,
if Landell and Adams are out, no, he'll give you five.

Matt Thomas Ross viial It's a Matt Thomas show with
Ross on sports Talk seven.

Speaker 2 (02:19:59):
Ninety on Sports Talk seven ninety. It has been.

Speaker 3 (02:20:05):
Fun, but I again, I think a lot of you
are just chilling at the house and we really appreciate that.
Had some interesting conversation with our audience today, good interaction
on Twitter.

Speaker 2 (02:20:15):
Thank y' all for listening.

Speaker 3 (02:20:17):
Uh seven one three two one two five seven ninety
seven one three two one two five seven nine there
if you want to get in, we are with you
till two o'clock, believe it or not today at one point.

Speaker 2 (02:20:28):
Fifty, and then we will be back. It sounds like
things are coming back to normal. All the TV stations
are getting away from their snow coverage because they kept
showing the same hill, so they're running out of things.
Uh kay, Terrice is going to go to Sean Hennady
at two o'clock, so if you're a fan of that show,
that'll be available to you, and of course Michael Barry
will be on at five. Looks like we did pretty
good job, Ross and the sun apparently is out. To

(02:20:49):
no surprise, the sun is out. It doesn't necessarily mean
get out there and run, get on the an I
ten and go seventy five miles an hour. Yeah, the
things that are supposed to melt in and refreeze as
you were talking talking about. Yeah, so please be careful. No,
everyone's gonna have cavin fever. But can you hang on
at the end of the day, hopefully that's what you get.

Speaker 3 (02:21:11):
You have you have to You're gonna have to consider
yourself like you've been quarantined. Are you been grounded?

Speaker 4 (02:21:19):
Now?

Speaker 3 (02:21:19):
When I was grounded in high school, I did not
behave myself. I would sneak out regularly. Wasn't grounded a lot,
but I just would do how would you sneak out? Well,
Mom went to work. I just went stay at home.

Speaker 2 (02:21:31):
I got you. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (02:21:33):
The worst punishment for me when I was a kid.
I brought this up before. It was no hormale chili
that'd probably save me a pound or two. Was that
when I was a junior and senior in high school,
I was a mascot for my high school, as many
of you know, and I drove my car to school.

Speaker 2 (02:21:50):
M someone she'd get mad at me. She'd say, you
can't drive your car to school. You have to take
the bus. The mascot of the high school wasn't supposed
to take the junior or as a June your senior.
First of all, if you're a junior senior, you shouldn't
be taking the bus. So she would make me ride
the bus as a punishment to embarrass me. So I'd
walk out there and walk a shame, get to the
bus stop, hang in my head. Yes, we can just

(02:22:13):
put your cougar head on or ram or whatever it was, ramhead.
The bus would come by. Yes, I'd wave and say
see you later. I would get off the bus immediately
and my buddy would come pick me up.

Speaker 3 (02:22:21):
You'd get off on the next stop. Yeah, bus, and
then my buddy would come pick me up. Well, she
wouldn't let you get picked up either. It was that
you had to ride the bus. Yes, okay, confessionals, empty confessionals.

Speaker 2 (02:22:35):
That's fine.

Speaker 6 (02:22:35):
I like this.

Speaker 2 (02:22:36):
It's only been thirty six year confessions. We should do it.
We should do a segment. It's like taxi cab confessions,
but it's empty confessional about a lot of things. I
confessed about hitting the guy on the poll stick at
the bar back. I told you about plagiarizing a paper
in ninth grade. I almost got caught too. Oh, I cheated,
I told you in the early days.

Speaker 3 (02:22:56):
I think part of the reason why I have so
many nightmares about my schooling as a kid, even to
this day, is because the amount of cheating I did.
So a little lesson for all of you. Dang, Matt, what,
Actually it makes a lot of sense. No, I'm just saying,
don't cheat. It's so easy to do it, but you
did it, and look at the great heights you've reached.

Speaker 2 (02:23:15):
Matt.

Speaker 3 (02:23:16):
No, No, how about how about nightmares thirty four years
after high school?

Speaker 2 (02:23:21):
Not worth it?

Speaker 3 (02:23:22):
I had the same nightmare once every couple of weeks
Miss Taylor's English class.

Speaker 2 (02:23:28):
Matt, you've not beared her on your paper. She was okay,
she was.

Speaker 3 (02:23:30):
Married to the band teacher. M So it's kind of
an odd Okay. She was not in my top five. Man,
You guys must have been lucky. There was There was
no there was a top zero.

Speaker 2 (02:23:44):
My my all timer was my eighth grade earth science teacher,
Miss Courtney. God. She was a smoke show and she
usually had two or three buttons always on her blouse. Undone.

Speaker 3 (02:23:58):
Oh she knew it. She was one, Yes, she did probably,
but she was married. Notes That means she didn't appreciate
young teenage boys looking at her clearly.

Speaker 2 (02:24:09):
We talked sports. Please Okay, sure, I don't really care
this show. What's going on with the show?

Speaker 3 (02:24:15):
How about the How concerned are we with the Rockets
losing a couple of games recently, only a half game
ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Speaker 2 (02:24:22):
It's a challenging stretch of games. We knew this was
going to be the case.

Speaker 3 (02:24:25):
Beyond the road trip, You've got Cleveland and back to
back games Wednesday here and then Saturday in Cleveland, and
then you got Boston. I had very tough back to
back with Atlanta, and then you got Memphis, who the
Rockets have beaten three out of the first three times
this year. I mean, I wouldn't say concerned.

Speaker 2 (02:24:48):
I would say.

Speaker 3 (02:24:50):
Cautious to say, hey, I like where I am right now.
I don't want to leave the two spot, but it's
about to get ridiculously tough. By the way, did you see?
And I didn't make much of but until some of
the national folks did. Robert Williams is a backup center
for the Blazers, and I believe he played for e
May in Boston. If don't holme me to that, but
I'm pretty sure that he did. And Robert Williams and

(02:25:13):
I were like, hey.

Speaker 2 (02:25:14):
What's up? Are you doing okay?

Speaker 3 (02:25:15):
And things are going good and talking a lot after
the game, and that now there's rumors that the Blazers
are looking to push the team out and trade for pieces,
and the Rockets would be very interested in Robert Williams
the backup center. So I don't that doesn't necessarily move
the needle for anybody around here, but he might be
able to give you an alternative if Steven Adams can't

(02:25:37):
play every game, which he clearly hasn't so far this year.

Speaker 2 (02:25:40):
Hey, Jack Landell's out there getting some shots up. I
like Jock a lot.

Speaker 3 (02:25:44):
He got over his personal reasons. That was good, but
he had a couple of mid range airballs that weren't great,
and Dels had a couple of step back Yeah, he
knocked down a mid range. Can he knock down a
couple of minies, didn't he?

Speaker 7 (02:25:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:25:54):
He did, Okay, I missed a couple bunnies as their call,
Yeah he did. He did so to the greater point, though, ROSSI,
I think we're gonna see something done Rockets related, but
it's gonna be very minor.

Speaker 3 (02:26:05):
It's gonna be in that ilk of reserve position player
to be determined. Okay, I don't think, and I don't
want to get into particular names because that wouldn't be
fair to the teams. But I don't think the term
splash and trade will be associated with the Rockets, Okay,
because I do.

Speaker 2 (02:26:26):
I think they're generally curious what this is because they're
on pace to win over fifty games. They're on pace
to be a top four seed, even if they regress
a little bit, top four in the West or at
the bare mootom just in the top six to unless
they fully implode and injuries just ravage them, they're gonna

(02:26:46):
avoid the playing gamet round, which would be a huge
significant jump for a Rockets basketball team that didn't even
make the playoffs last year. So I think as an organization,
I think they're just curious to see what this is,
and if they're going to make any drastic moves, it
would probably be closer to the off season. I think
would be in season. But again, unless something in Phoenix

(02:27:08):
or something in Miami, or something which is too good
to refuse, they'll probably refuse it.

Speaker 3 (02:27:13):
Unless it's too good to reuse. Trust the process dance
with who Brung. You m, it's watch the babies grow.

Speaker 2 (02:27:21):
Huh?

Speaker 3 (02:27:22):
Don't you think the seeds have been planted? The kids
are becoming young men? Phase two well under way? So
when do we go to phase three next year? I
don't know who's in charge of calling who was in
charge of calling in deaf cons in the movies?

Speaker 2 (02:27:36):
How long was? I don't know. Does the National Alerts
Service or whatever do that? So? Yes, so who would
move till that would move from phase two to phase three?

Speaker 6 (02:27:46):
Right?

Speaker 2 (02:27:46):
I guess you tell no?

Speaker 3 (02:27:48):
Uh, no eagle, no like a oh national organization of
weather and stuff? Sure, no, he's they're not the stuff.
They're not the determining what the rockets move from fase
two to phase three.

Speaker 2 (02:28:02):
They're not knowing that. Well, but you asked who determines
deaf cons?

Speaker 5 (02:28:05):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:28:05):
It is, okay or Norarad one of the two. I
don't know who knows. Maybe it's maybe it's the commander
in chief, Maybe it's Donnie T.

Speaker 3 (02:28:15):
Dan sounds delirious. Yes, yeah, I'm a little that's an
accurate statement, is he? Are you gonna butcher believe it
or not? Productions? I'm believe we're already planning on how
I'm going to attack it, but I'm just gonna have
to concentrate really really hard.

Speaker 3 (02:31:42):
All right, Well, while Dan searches in the prize ball
for what we're playing for, Rockets and Cabalis scheduled to
play tomorrow, Houston versus Utah College hoops scheduled to play tomorrow,
and oh, but I know we were gonna talk about
So the college football Championship game was last night, and
I know ESPN is going to brag about the ratings.
So that's what ESPN does. W't figure out some way

(02:32:04):
to promote it. But somebody we were talking about this morning,
are people asking it for to not be played on
a Monday night right after the NFL playoffs that the
scheme of the game was gone a little bit.

Speaker 2 (02:32:14):
I think now you reminded me this is my idea
that I was going to talk about at the beginning
of the show. Yeah, what about having it, pushing it
back a couple of weeks and having it on the
off weekend between the Super Bowl? Way too long. That
too late. Way, it's two more weeks.

Speaker 3 (02:32:31):
Way wait, I'm sorry, it's one more week, one and
a half more weeks too long.

Speaker 2 (02:32:35):
We're already championship weekend. This weekend too long.

Speaker 3 (02:32:40):
I think it's way it's grossly overshadowed by the divisional weekend. No,
I don't think ten more days is way too long.
News for you oyes.

Speaker 2 (02:32:46):
And you play it.

Speaker 3 (02:32:47):
You play it the friday before divisional weekend. You get in,
you get in front of it before you get behind it.
There's people who want them to do Saturday because they're
like college football Saturdayday. Yeah, but then you're going ahead
ahead with the NFL. No, No, you're you're under There's
zero circumstances going against the NFL. You will lose, and
you will lose badly. I'm not saying I agree with it.
I'm just saying that people try to do that. Well,
you need to find out who they are and beat them.

(02:33:09):
It's just like the same people who say, oh, we
should always keep the opening round of the college football
playoff on campus. I'm like, would and should are two
different things, because what is going to happen. Our cities
are going to come in and say hey, we'll pay
you a lot of money for these games, and the
college football playoffs going to say, okay, I mean I
think we're losing campus sites. Other people are saying getting it,

(02:33:29):
get it done by January first, No, these weeks OFFAH,
coaches will love that. You know what, I brought this
up to you last week, and I didn't mean and
I don't think I did a good enough job of
explaining it. I felt like this had a little bit
of the sizzle taken off because the playoffs were so interesting,
but then the NFL got in the way, and now
I've kind of it's been an afterthought. So I would
say this, if I was in charge, I would have

(02:33:52):
the season done. I would have the championship game on
the Friday night before the divisional playoff weekend.

Speaker 2 (02:34:02):
I don't think it's even arguable.

Speaker 3 (02:34:04):
They clearly like football games on Saturday and Sunday for
most viewership, so I don't know but what Friday viewership
would be. I was gonna say it, but they did
the semis on Friday on Friday Thursdays try to avoid
the Friday primetime because they thought is nobody is watching them?

Speaker 2 (02:34:18):
Well, the semi on Friday.

Speaker 3 (02:34:20):
Guys, twenty five years ago, they didn't put really good
games on Saturday night football, certainly on ABC. Now they
put the great games. Saturday used to be an area
of barren wasteland. You put the worst TV shows on Saturday.
You didn't put the superstar shows on. Now you're putting
superstar sporting events on Friday, since we're seeing big time

(02:34:41):
college football being played on Fox on Friday nights. Well
not big time, but relatively speaking, good matchups. Man, it's
like you have agent stuff like that that's not necessary.
I'm sorry, you know what that's you haven't worked. But
in the playoffs, in the playoffs they put I mean
they put like Baltimore Steelers, which wasn't the marquee game,
Lions Commanders, I mean, turn out to be a pretty
good game. But I think they they still save the

(02:35:02):
best matchups for Sunday, Sunday at five thirty, That's what
it was. That's why they put Buffalo Baltimore there.

Speaker 2 (02:35:07):
And I think the week before that was the good
game was there? What was it? I can't remember.

Speaker 3 (02:35:11):
Well, you had Houston the Chargers, then Baltimore Pittsburgh on
Saturday exactly. Of course, I know, the worst game goes
Saturday at three thirty. Now we're kind of used to that.
I was if I was a betting man, If we
were betting man right now, which we occasionally do, and
I gave you one thousand dollars okay to bet, I'm
just don't remember. I would just start running. I would

(02:35:32):
kick you in the stomach and run. You got to
make a bet.

Speaker 2 (02:35:36):
Do the Texans play at three thirty next January for
a playoff game? Or you get the field? What would
you take? Okay? Now, listen, every playoff game I have
ever played in history the most I'll put it this way.
The favorite is the field, but the leader would be

(02:36:00):
three thirty, but it wouldn't be over fifty percent. Does
that make sense? Yeah, I know what you're saying. The plurality,
they win the plurality, but they wouldn't win the majority.

Speaker 3 (02:36:10):
Because the issue would be is if the Texans are
a twelve one football team, they're probably not well they
still because they could miss the playoffs completely. They could
still be the four seed and being that just everybody else,
the would be the worst of and there were ten
years they could miss.

Speaker 2 (02:36:24):
You don't play, you.

Speaker 3 (02:36:25):
Don't have to be the four seed and play at
three thirty. I mean, if if the Kansasity Chiefs were
the three seed, they wouldn't be forced, they wouldn't be
playing a three thirty. This way, if they make the
playoffs their Saturday at three thirty, well I guess that maybe.

Speaker 2 (02:36:37):
All right, how about this, Let's make a let's make
a breakfast bet on this. Hold on God, put it
deep in your calendar. I'll take I don't want to
be I don't feel confident enough to bet this, but
it's nice and simple. I'll take three thirty or no playoffs.
You'll take everything else. No, you got you know you
got to offer me three. You gotta give me three

(02:36:58):
lunches to one on that. I want five lunches. Yes,
I'll take your side. Three thirty or no playoffs. Absolutely,
that's the favorite. I'll take it. Okay, there it is, yo,
next Jane.

Speaker 3 (02:37:08):
We've just been an official bet about next year's team already.
Three Thurday Saturday or not at all or no playoffs,
and I get everything else.

Speaker 2 (02:37:16):
You think they're gonna be on a Sunday. No, I'm
just doing for the sake of the bet. I like it.
Monday nights and play.

Speaker 4 (02:37:21):
Now.

Speaker 3 (02:37:21):
All right, I gotta write this down. Hold on, let
me go. We got Dan to your point pending bets
section of the no st Wrongest. Washington Tampa wasn't a
super sexy Monday night game, was it?

Speaker 4 (02:37:30):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:37:30):
No, it was in Minnesota, Rams that wasn't super sexy. Yeah,
Washington Tampa was a Sunday game.

Speaker 2 (02:37:37):
Yeah. Yeah, I'll just do it for the sake of
doing it. Okay, what do you have back?

Speaker 3 (02:37:43):
Yeah, I'm gonna take I'll take anything but three thirty
and you get three thirty Saturday or none of the above.
I think seating has a lot to do with it too, because,
if I'm not mistaken, they've always been the four.

Speaker 2 (02:37:54):
No, that's always been the four. But the site, no sitting.

Speaker 3 (02:37:56):
It's about the market, it's about the interest. If if
Buffalo was the four seed, they would not be playing
at three thirty on a Saturday. Well, but I'm saying
though that, like, I think if they were a two
or a three, then they probably would have been able
to get off that spot. But the fact that they
were a four, they were like, h Well, thinking about this,
if there are two or three, they're probably playing the
what's the bet a lunch or what are we doing?

Speaker 2 (02:38:17):
Breakfast? Breakfast?

Speaker 3 (02:38:18):
Like a steak bag I sit down, No, like a
rec Ronald's. Yeah, like, I'll get you a big middle
steak bagel. Sometimes those come out funky. When they're good,
they're good seven dollars. When they're good, they're great. Spencer
breakfast dress. When you get one that's a little chewy
and weird. Extra sauce, by the way, Oh you're sick.
Extra butter sauce.

Speaker 2 (02:38:38):
I like it. Oh my god, are you trying to
have a coronary in the car?

Speaker 5 (02:38:42):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (02:38:42):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (02:38:43):
Biscuits and gravy breath? Yeah, what does that mean? It's terrible.
A lot of cluster on that gravy. Yeah, but you're
talking about adding extra bag you're actually extra butter sauce.
It sounds like I'm asking for like a deep layer
of it. I'm looking for a couple of extra scoops.
Well that's right.

Speaker 3 (02:38:56):
Yeah, you guys got the breakfast this morning, Yes, we did,
Sorry that they were setting it up.

Speaker 2 (02:39:01):
Oh so you're like hungry and grouchy. I'll bring you
a plate tomorrow. I appreciate it. Thank you? All right?
Can we steal plates from there.

Speaker 3 (02:39:08):
So my back to my original thought. I think they
should play the national Championship game the friday before divisional
playoff weekend. Is a great way to get all the
intention of themselves. A what Friday like this past Friday,
This should have been the national Championship game. I think
the matchup has a lot to do with it too.
What was a matchup of to do with?

Speaker 2 (02:39:23):
You said the day? You said the day? See, but
I think people are saying, why isn't Ohio State Notre
Dame interesting to the national public.

Speaker 3 (02:39:28):
It should be time because they're not those schools. It's
because we have we have, frankly, playoff fatigue. We just
watched four games. That's how I see it. That's how
I see I don't know. We'll see how the numbers looking.
What are the overnights looking on? I guarantee ESPN I'll
be branging about something. Yeah, exactly, all right.

Speaker 1 (02:39:45):
We won the.

Speaker 2 (02:39:46):
Demographic twenty three to fifty five, saw fifteen percent increase
and making them a bunch of phony. They got to
they added up with ESPN Plus and the McAfee cast
and the whatever yeah and the Ross cast. Me we
had a gay one going. Oh we did we did.

Speaker 3 (02:41:06):
Doubleheader to nine on Tea and people are like, what
are we gonna watch it? You know what time to
watch some movies. I have two things in Netflix and
Q the Jerry Springer documentary, which I'll be watching. They're
so very good. Have you seen it so far? All
episodes fantastic? Okay, looking forward to that. I was watching
as we don't have movie channels at our place. But
that's okay, right, I was watching Weekend at Bernie's was

(02:41:26):
on last night. It's a banger, It's okay.

Speaker 2 (02:41:31):
The question I have is what made them think Weekend
at Bernie's Two would make sense if Weekend Bernie's was
the dead guy. He's still dead and unless you like
put him in ice, it would have been a little long,
unpopular opinion. Now, I was like nine years old, but
I loved Weekend at Bernie's. Okayonically enough, Speaking in that
same culture in the time movie, I thought Mannequin was

(02:41:51):
fantastic back in the day.

Speaker 3 (02:41:52):
Apparently Weekend at Bernie's was a cult classic amongst the stoners.
Oh as zero surprise. Well, I wasn't a stoner when
I was eleven, I would hope not. Like Kim Katrell
went from Mannikin to real life girl back to Mannequin.
I mean that's hot mm hm with that terrible Starship song. Oh,
the worst songs ever to hit number one? No, that

(02:42:13):
was I thought that was we built this city. Oh
that song blows. That was one of our best Fantasy five.
We did decades of number one songs. We were trying
to think who the worst the work we did the
worst ones?

Speaker 2 (02:42:25):
Yeah, we did. I heard you guys did best Christmas songs? Right?

Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:43:02):
And then and then Golden State lost one twenty five
eighty five to the Celtics. He was really distraught.

Speaker 3 (02:43:07):
Celtics are good, though, could you imagine going to a
home game of your favorite team and losing by forty
at home. I mean that hasn't happened to Warrior fans
in a long time. But especially that's good money. That's
a took a day off to go to an MLK
day game in San Francisco and spending all that and
then you got your ass kicked.

Speaker 2 (02:43:26):
Rockets did that on the road in Game seven against
the Mavericks. Well, oh, five ish too soon, five minutes
