Speaker 3 (00:12):
Good morning, and welcome to a Friday edition of The
Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
This is Sports Talk seven ninety. Let's get him some hookers.
What yeah? What yeah?

Speaker 4 (00:28):
Now?

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Hi, that was Matt all right? Maybe not hookers, maybe
a softer mound, a longer pitch clock.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
It's get him cheating on his pregnant wife. Of hookers.
Let's go, baby, that's gonna save his season.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
No, no, I had the answer. Longer pitch clock. Oh okay,
softer mound, better eating hours. Let's go more than two pitches.
Here's here's let's go with this.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
More than two pitches and swim and missus and no
exit velos of rockets where there's holes being punched in
the outfield walls.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Let's go with that. No, no, no, we're not going
to use logic on this radio show. We're going to
uh or you know, if you ever notice, if you're
in a high end hotel, they have like five hundred channels.
Uh huh. Every hotel he's got to be at has
got to have at least channel four fifty to five
hundred because those are from his native country.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah, I'm sure they have Japanese language channels and those
ones you go to.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Right, the ones I go to.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah, those high falutin hotels, well that the you glom
onto the rockets. Going to glumb is a strong term.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I'm working.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I need a proper accommodations rocks and now they can
stick you in a red roof, you'd be fine. Why
you try and not a hotel? You know what, I'm sorry.
I don't want to give Tom any ideas.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
You don't give him any ideas. Cut some corners. He's
been three hundred million dollars in the comments. He's probably
trying to cut pinch pennies when he can.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, they got they got a shell out some cash
to Travis Scott for that trademark.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
That's probably gonna have to happen.

Speaker 5 (02:07):
Yeah, good morning everybody.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
It is a little past ten o'clock on this what
is trying to be a glorious Friday here on the
Matt Thomas Show with Ross Ross.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
How the hell are you? I'm doing great, Matthew. My
Apple watch says I got zero deep sleep, But I
feel okay?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
What you been doing?

Speaker 6 (02:25):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
I didn't, I mean I went out, Uh, with with
the families. You know, it's my pop's birthday. Shout out Pops.
His birthday was two days ago. Now, I'm let me
tell you something. I love the villar Real family more
than I love you.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
You should.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
They're all better than me and your sister, like three
or four times. Oh she's the best. Everyone's the best,
and I'm the worst. I understand.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yes, love your mom, I love your dad, all your steps.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yes see, they all had to be great so that
I could be the worst. That's how it works. It's
called balance.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Matt.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yeah, he's doing like I don't know, he's doing this
like a twenty four year old girl. He's gonna have
a whole week of birthday celebrations. But so we went
out last night, the two nights before, and then we're going, uh,
well it's a secret.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Actually it's a secret surprise what we're doing Saturday, good good, Well,
we will not discuss it, truth be told.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
I literally raced.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Into the Kingwod studios here in less than seventy five seconds.
How you doing you all right? I look, we're a
grown ass man. We can talk about things.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, did they remove the stick?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Let me write that down that for eleven thirty. It's
just a joke.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
See, I can take a joke. I like roast today.
I've been working with this slump for sixteen years with
a stick up his ass the whole time. I have
not felt great the last few weeks. And so today
was a deep dive and I got blood work, urine samples,
I got a CT scan, I got a schedule. I

(03:53):
mean it was good. It was not a great note.
I want you getting checked out. Yeah, yeah, so, and
and I did send Ross text yesterday that I'm surprised
you did not come up with some sort of sarcastic response.
I said, I'm going to take a couple of days
in June to decompress. And I told you were going

(04:13):
to Galveston, and I was waiting for the punchline. Nothing
came out of you.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
I was happy that you're going to go and relax
like I've been asking. And as I have said, Galiston
is a nice place to get away for a couple
of days. That's all I have to hoon. That's exactly right.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Nobody in Fresno, California's booking to Houston come to Galveston.

Speaker 7 (04:32):
They're not.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
And that's Okay, I get that.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
So it's the stars, yeah ahead the time around here.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
My daughter's got her big graduation party Sunday at our house,
which would get everything painting and altered, and.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
The just a lot of work.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
You're building the cage to keep Cameron in.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
You got that right. Our good friend Roddy is a
great listener to show is going to be catering our
lunch or a brother.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Let me tell you he makes some good barbecue.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
She wanted barbecue, so we took care of the barbecue
on that end. And then one week from today, my
youngest graduates from high school and I am done.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
You're not done. You'll always have at least one to
two in the house.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
But I mean, the crazy thing is she's getting she's
graduating high school at didyke In Park. I mean, are
they gonna run the bases? Don't you think there should
be some fun with it? It's attached to it?

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Can can can you? Can she play left field?

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Can she throw a third pitch every fifth day?

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Can she hit breaking stuff? Because nobody on the line,
I'm gonna do it right now.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
No, no, no, no, don't break stuff. It's terrible.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Can she hit low and away sliders, its every single
astro hitter, low and away breaking stuff.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Can she be no, the best closer behind Brian Brian Kington.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
We just get her midleverage. Let's go.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah. Now, I know she's an athlete. She is an athlete.
But we had we had the two options. We had
Normally where Kingwood, Kingwood and all the humble ID schools graduate,
High school is at to Turner Stadium, but I think
Turner is being refurbished or something there, you know, because
you know, these high school students have to become like
ginormous ballparks because they're all you know, just like in

(06:20):
college and pro they're revenue producers.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
They got to make sure all the bells and whistles. So, uh,
the place.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Where ye normally we would have graduation is unavailable. So
the option was either a for Tita center where you
could only have a certain number of people come, or
be it's bring all your family you want and then
some to dyke In Park. So the option was the
school voter, uh, the students voting in the parents vote,
and we decided to go to dyke In Parks.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
So yeah, we graduated at the food Line parking lot.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Got see I really really want to add to that,
but I don't want to all Dean mad at me? Yeah, fine,
get mad at me.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
I went there and yeah that was Ross, not me,
all right.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
So it's a busy time nevertheless, but it's good to
hang out with you guys on anything goes Friday, and
god knows, after the Astros lost yesterday, it's gotta be
anything goes.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Friday goes Friday seventeen to twenty eight.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
Who Mike Burrows, Rossie, how is feeling.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
He's not the savior of the Astros just yet? Seven innings,
a shutout ball against the Reds and then seven runs
giving up yesterday?

Speaker 2 (07:30):
So how you know, end of the world of Ross
creating new terms? How would you let me give you
the rundown? Yes? Did now? He went five and two thirds.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yes, that's good.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
He did strike out four. It's okay.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
He threw one hundred and two bitches most in his career,
eight hits, seven runs, all of which were earned.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
To give up two bombs, the earnings five seventy two.
The loss makes him two and five, and then Cody
Bolton's like, you're really gonna ask me to come in
and finish this? Oh? Yes, you are and you're gonna
finish it, and boy you did and he did mean
he was a yeah, it was fine. One run over
three and a third is not terrible.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
It's a start minus for Mike Burrows. Is that what
you're asking?

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Start minus? This is so fun now that I'm just
gonna create new terms after every start. So we got
one hundred and thirty five or so games left to go.
Oh oh.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
People are wondering if you're gonna get rid of cheeks
before the party, or is are you gonna? Are you
gonna get cheeks stuffed so cheeks can watch your daughter
walk across the aisle.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
So we are clearly cleaned out the pantry last night.
Oh my god, you don't even know where this is going.
I'm scared. That's why I said, oh my god, cheeks,
some of cheeks. His food was still in there. Oh
my god, can we said shout out the cheeks?

Speaker 5 (08:57):
So I said, we can go get cheeks.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
We want to. He's in the he's in the garage.
He's fine. My god. People are sick, all right, So
this is anything goes Friday. I can't imagine being a
four hour deep dive into the astros trials and tribulations. Although, man,
there are too many people rows, so we'll get to

(09:19):
more of this as the show progressive. There are too
many people that are really nervous about what could happen
next week. What do you mean that if it's a
bad weekend, it's so far the home stands one in three?

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Is that bad? If you lost five out of six.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
It's not good. You're six.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Everything must go? Is that what you're saying? Well, I
mean it's may I get a little more time, and
he would.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
But the thing is, it's not in It's not in
Gym's DNA. But that doesn't mean that business people stick
to the same formula every single day. They don't. I'm
going to say on the worried scale for me, and look,
let me tell you something, Joe a spot on Dana Brown.
They have made a lot of money. Okay, when you
are a manager, and you are a general manager of
a baseball team in professional baseball, you have made a

(10:10):
lot of money. So I'm not worried about them feeding
their families. But you know, look, losing jobs is never fun.
I mean, it's nobody's gonna be celebrating it, I would think,
except the few people on astros Twitter who are mean
and ugly people, but you, but it's got to cross
their mind that is Jim going to stay patient with this?

(10:32):
Is Jim going to say, well, some of this is
on me and that what good do I get out
of making any moves at the end of this year. Again,
these are things to get to. But we were worried
about this week Ross in terms of the Seattle and
the Texas being the divisional matchup. Home staying crowds are dwindling,
apathy is starting to kick in. I would say that
if I was at a two last week, I'm probably

(10:53):
closer to a four to four and a half today.
And I have no foundation for whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Okay, I feel like maybe Joe's in more danger than Dana,
but we'll see, see. I think it's I just have
a gut. I just have a gut feeling about Dana.
I think he might with Jim Crane was involved in that.
I think Jim Crane forced his hand in a lot
of these trades. I think, you know, a couple of
prospects are looking pretty good in the lower minors. I

(11:18):
just just based on nothing right, correct, Because because Dana
had Dana had to move Mauricio Dubon. That wasn't you know,
you know, Dana Brown wasn't like, you know, who's gonna
prove this team? Nick Allen over Mauricio Dubon. He didn't
think that he had to make moves. He had to
shave payroll because he's under Jim Crane's orders. So that
that's just me trying to make ABC logic. I know

(11:41):
that teams aren't always run on ABC logic, but we
have as you mentioned, we have not seen Jim Crane
be reactionary for the most part, and we we have
not seen him. I think he's pretty smart and shrewd overall.
So we'll see. But I mean, they got to start

(12:03):
winning for everybody's sake, for our sake, for the fans sake,
for Jim's sake, for Dana and Joe's sake.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
Yeah, because again their jobs are on the line.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
But everybody's been I mean, but it's also it's like, yeah,
well Mike Burrows is on Dana Brown right now. I
mean he he went and made that move, Yes he did,
because they thought they could have found something. And it's
also i mean it's his era is six now, but
he has had a couple of start going into last
uh last, well yesterday afternoon's start. Matt, as you heard
on the Astros on Deck show, if for over three

(12:33):
starts he had a two fifty era soan he was
rounding in a form.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, and then he didn't round, No, did not round
at all, right, seven one three SEVENI it is in
Anything Goes Friday here on the Matt Thomas Show with
Ross seven one three, two two five seven Onie coming
up in fifteen minutes ten twenty one, Matt and Ross
with you here on a Friday. Good morning to you.
It's an anything Goes Friday. And look when the Astros was

(12:58):
a day game, it's anything goes Friday. When it's NFL
schedule release day. You know what's happening in ten minutes, Rossie,
I've got the prediction now maybe full breakdown. I gotta
do it faster this year. I've been I've been taking
my time the last few years and running out of steam.
So we're gonna have to go really quick. Okay.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Yeah, I'm just trying to there's a number of ways
to respond to that, and I'm just trying.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
To know there is I'm just trying to silence is
good for you on that sometimes.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yes, I know it's a radio show, so.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Especially if you're talking about the stick earlier in the
show today that was oh yeah, that's funny.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
I mean to its to its core.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
It just shows you how popular the NFL is that
people lose their minds over schedules. Yes, we know the
literally the moment the game ends from the last game
the last season. We know who were who the team
are playing could be more eveld be more of a
surprise to me and enjoyable for me if we were surprised.
But who they're playing.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yeah, it's it's ridiculous. The opponents are set. It's just
the order. Everybody relax.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
The ESPN didn't relax.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Oh what was the week that we were wondering about.
Somebody had it right. Somebody said Thursday night against the Colts.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
We had Giants, we had Eagles. Dude, The answer was
that is it? It's the answer that don't you know. Look,
I've done a deep dive and I want to save
it for ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Okay, yeah, you're right, but you looked over you looked
over every schedule in the league, and they're jumbled up
in your head.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
That's what's happening. That's exactly what I did. Thank you,
you're welcome, and that's what I did.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
I like the week eight by week in the middle
of the year.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's good. Do they like it?

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Then?

Speaker 3 (14:45):
Who knows what they probably wanted a little later.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Well, I will say this, it is weird that you
go overseas. Now, granted you're jumping on a plane as
soon as the game is over with, it's an eight
hour flight back. It's not like you're going. It's taking
you two days a change with a change of planes.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
It's not ideal. And they're making millions and millions of
dollars so that.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
They are playing the week right after usually you get
usually a week off to get yourself that they either
get the body clock Ackleman and no, they're playing right
after that. M hmm. Isn't my right about that? Right?

Speaker 3 (15:13):
So it's it's four prime time games. Yes, we said standalone.
Now the London's don't count, right, we don't count those.
I think we do account and they're not really prime
time games, so no, but yeah, they're standalone. So I'm
just wondering how we count those, because your gut feeling
was five we bullied Jonathan into raising his from two.

(15:35):
You're yeah, oh no, he's taking credit.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
No no, no, no, no, no no no, there's no way.
That's my credit, lot your credit. I said, non change.
I said, right now, he's taking full credit.

Speaker 8 (15:59):
Then that's the thing, that's the thing I would do.
That's what do you mean, Chelsea Ford? No, I said
you said to you.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Were stuck on to shut up. You're wrong, You're wrong, You're.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
You're like, oh, remember this when it's two. You even said, yeah,
we'll pull the tape. You better delete that off the server.

Speaker 9 (16:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
So week six they play in Wembley in London against Jaguars.
They have to play a home game the next Sunday,
which is and they'll be fine. You're right, they'll be
fine because they because they will give them the Monday off,
they'll give them Tuesday off and the back. I mean
it gives you. Look, I've only gone over seats a
handful of times in my life. But it takes you
a day, day and a half. That's your multimillionaires.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Come on, I mean you can call me as I
even have to adjust just for to l A a
couple hours, so six hours for sure, though to adjust. Yeah,
turn off your your circadian rhythms.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Matt hmmm. Another is there another radio shoulder market that's
gonna say circadian rhythms?

Speaker 3 (16:59):
I don't don't think. So that's what I bring to
the table for better or worse.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
You're welcome you. No, We've actually been talking a lot
about this international and how I've kind of predicted and
I'm not the only when who said this, but it's
that every week I think we're ultimately going to get
or not every week, every team we're going to have
play one international game. That's gonna be the easy way
to make it an eighteenth game. You're going to play
that that eighteenth game overseas. And I know that you

(17:23):
and I have talked about this in a macro view
of how does the NFL make more money? Because that's
all they want to do. They don't want to they
don't want to make the game beautiful. They want more money.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
They don't care about player safety, Nope, they only care
to the point of public relations.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Correct. But they want to make it harder for you
to find the games. They want to make you buy
additional channels and streamings and whatnot. Though really the NFL
is different because if you if like the Texans are
on Prime and they're on on Peacock, if they were
on pea Cock, they have to The NFL does make
it smart, they do. They do require you to find
a local TV partner to put it on. So if

(18:00):
you're a fan of, say the Eagles, and the Eagles
are on Prime three times and you're kind of screwed.
But if you are a Texans fan, you don't have
to worry about necessarily get the extra streaming. Put I'm
on two eleven or twenty six or whatever, and you
can get in a nice rhythm at the start of
the season noon noon, noon, noon, noon, eight thirty am
noon bye week. Isn't it crazy that Dallas Cowboys are

(18:20):
the epitome of three twenty five games and the Texans
are the epitome of noon games.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yes, who's had more success in the last five years Texans,
that's true. But who's the bigger brand? Who will always
be the mirror brand? Will always be the bigger brand? Unfortunately. Yeah,
I mean literally, you're gonna have to take like win
like four super Bowls Even then, I mean, the Chiefs
aren't as big as a brand as the as the Cowboys.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Put it this way, the seatle who are the champions
of the Seattle Seahawks. What kind of brand do they have
outside of Seattle? Very little? Very little?

Speaker 5 (18:49):
And it's not really their fault.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
And frankly, if you're a Seattle fan roster, do you
care people in Maine carre like you? No, they don't care.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
I mean you care some because we how often do
we hear fans Houston's always good?

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Disrespected by ESPN? Why we getting disrespected? Houston never gets
any love? I don't know what talk like this? Who
use that like?

Speaker 4 (19:12):
Now?

Speaker 2 (19:13):
I know of even text?

Speaker 3 (19:15):
Now, I don't you know what I'm saying. Everybody's always complained.
Not everybody, but you know, there's there is a vocal
sector of Houston fan base that says we never get
any respect, which I'm.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Sure Saddle feels that way right now. But Sada's like
I got the ring beatrial. God. You know how you
get respect, you win, win and you have recognized what
players who are.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Stars like Kevin Durant.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Everything all right back there? Uh yeah, we've got people
in the houseworking. Oh, I gotch I'll shut the office,
do okay? All right, Hey, time for the scheduled prediction
time can't wait. Ross, I'm gonna make this very clear. Okay,
no one else in the marketplace has made their predictions
about the Texans schedule this year. Ten thirty three Sports

(19:59):
Talks The Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
Sports Harvey.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Allow me to please be the only member of the
Houston media landscape, even those that carry the water for
the text. Here we go. I gotta do it faster
than I in previous years. Week one, September thirteenth, high noon,

(20:25):
Buffalo Bills at Relion Stadium. Josh Allen playing in Houston.
We know that's gonna work out, Ross, do we not? Yes?
Texans win twenty seven six. Week number two Cincinnati Joe Burrow.
First of all, we don't know how LSU people do
not win in Houston. We already know that Joe Burrow's

(20:47):
got another bat offensive line. He'll crack a couple of
vertebrae Texans over the Bengals nineteen to five. That's right,
two weeks in a row. The techn the defense does
not allow a touchdown. Two contenders, two wins, all right,
two wins. Week number three, Sunday, September twenty seventh at Indianapolis.

(21:08):
Texans are going against the Colts who refuse to play
a quarterback. Daniel Jones is hurt really Yes, triple option,
triple option the entire way. The Colts run the ball
sixty four times for sixty nine yards allow rice twenty nineteen. Wow,
Texans defense scores at least twice. CJ. Stroudthrows his first

(21:31):
two undred and fifty yard day. It's a blow out
of Indy thirty one to eleven Texans over the Colts.
Week four, Dallas Cowboys home noon. Please the only fighting
they'll be doing ross would be outside of the tailgate lot.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Twenty to ninth. Texans shut out the Cowboys.

Speaker 7 (21:51):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
That high powered offense scores zero.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yes. Week five, Texans at Tennessee, Namy krunks where all
the Columbia Blushi wants to her team's gonna get thick
ass kicked. Thirty seven to ten Texans over the Colts.

Speaker 10 (22:06):
Can.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
I say, just seeing that Columbia blue and red, it
pisses me off.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
I'm indifferent too.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
I know I'm trying not to beat. I know logically
I'm moving on. I'm a Texans fan, but the Columbia
blue it still pisses me off as someone who grew
up an a oiler fan.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, I was an older fan, will always be an
older fan, despite the fact that I go my YouTube clips,
I see the terrible highlights of the order games.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Let them go, Yeah, let them go. They never even
won anyways, I know I didn't win anyways.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Five and Er going to London, fish chips, peas, nasty ass, sausage,
nasty defense. Trevor Lawrence three iron Ts, Texans win in
When Wow twenty four fifteen and jolly good London Week seven,
New York Giants John Harbaugh. I've beaten the Texans before,

(22:58):
but you don't have Lamar Jacks. This is your signal caller?
Who the hell is the signal?

Speaker 3 (23:02):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Is it Jackson Dart? Is that who it is?

Speaker 5 (23:06):
Who's the Who's the Giants quarterback?

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Jackson Dark and he'd be concussed by then.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
He sucks. He'll be throwing with his left army. Is
that bad? By that time? It's going to be a
Texans demolishing, demolishing of the Colts. I want Bill Parcells
back running things and Lawrence Taylor, Oh Wow. Thirty four
to seven Giants lose. Texans are now seven to zero
off Week eight. Week nine at the Los Angeles Chargers.

(23:32):
We know how the Texts do against the Chargers, do
we not? Justin Herbert can't beat anybody. Three picks. Texans
win comfortably. I'll give that one to be a thirty
two four two safeties for the Chargers. Two safeties.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Also, this defense has got about seventy six interceptions by
my math.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Have they a lot of touchdown yet?

Speaker 3 (23:58):
I don't think so. A couple of safety.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Week ten at Cleveland, Oh my god, has even Cleveland
even bothers showing up? My god?

Speaker 5 (24:07):
The Browns of Shawn Watson. We'll play in that game, by.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
The way, and guess what he'll do Ross He'll throw
a bunch of picks.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
Texans win the game.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
I'll give that one to be a score of let's
go thirty two eighteen thirty to eighteen. Closer than you think, though, wow,
than a Thursday night Bram damn game. Al Michaels will
think he's calling the game from the Astrodome. Is that
the Orders take on the Colts, realizing that Kirk kurbs

(24:35):
Street and his dog will say no, you're an Actually
at Reliance Stadium, it doesn't matter what stateum you playing.
Texans beat the Colts in that game. I will go
lower scoring. I will go twelve to ten in that
final score in that game. That is a Kimi Fairbarn special.
Week twelve, the Baltimore Ravens come in for a noon
til Lamar Jackson will be disgruntled, he'll be unhappy. The

(24:56):
Ravens will underperform like they did last year. We'll have
no nineteen players out on defense like they did against
the Texans last year, and the Colts are assuming. The
Ravens will watch the Texans but up their highest point
toll of the year. I got it, fifty one twenty
Ravens over the Texans over the Ravens. Sunday Night Football, NBC.

(25:18):
Mike tur Rico, Chris collins Worth in the douche, Mike
Tarika or Mike Rico, Mike Florio. I don't care if
Aaron Rodgers there or not. I don't care who the
coach is. It doesn't matter. Texans win it. This one's
an easy one, twenty four to zero. Steelers don't even
score a point in that game. Week fourteen, back to

(25:39):
the East Coast to take on the Commanders, They're hurt,
they're beat up. They're focusing on their stadium. They're focusing
on Donald Trump. Want the name change back to the Redskins.
It won't matter what you call them. The Texans are
going to win the game. This will be the highest
running game for David Montgomery. Montgomery is gonna rush for
one hundred and sixty six yards in three touchdowns, thirty

(26:02):
to thirteen win over the Commanders. Wonderful Week fifteen. The
Jacksonville Jaguars. Wow. By the way, the Texast this point
are thirteen or zero Jaguars again. Apparently there's a massive
problem with Trevor Lawrence getting his hair product into the
state of Texas. Oh, confiscated at the airport, really causing
to miss the game. Texans winning another shutout with more

(26:24):
intersements by who over the backup quarters for the Jaguars.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
He gets detained, yes, and misses the game.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Is there something special in that hair job? Three point
four ounces? Steroids? Okay they are, but the mill there
those gummies that you get down the street. I got
the Texas one of this one in a awkward scoring
score thirty thirty six to six in that one might

(26:52):
be a scorer on me back to the East coast, Prime, Philadelphia.
It's going to be a snowstorm in that game. Wow
on Christmas Eve? Is that right? Christmas Eve? Seriously? Well
they put it Christmas Eve for that's terrible.

Speaker 11 (27:06):
Prime.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Does that Michaels? Does he get like copped duty for
this for a Santa Hat? I don't know, but does
the dog get extra gifts from you know what? The
Dogs are gonna get more airtime than the Eagles are
gonna get it because the Texans defense gonna oh wow, okay,
this would be.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
Like the fourth and fifth fifth shutout of the season.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
I get this guy. They're coming for like the eighty
five Bears here. Yeah, the two thousand Ravens are like
what do y'all talk about over here? Yeah? And I
go ahead? Was the score I'm gonna give them? I'm
at the Eagles score three points on a chip shot,
big goal in the blowing snow, low scoring game, seventeen
to three, Textans over the that's good.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
That one's probably not a score, Gami, But we've got
like five of them I think so far.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
January fourth, The tend the fruze No no no, no, no,
no no no you cannot be frozen under that.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
That's what they call it though, that's what that's what
what's his name that John Facinda used to say, frozen tundra? Well,
I don't talk to John's there such thing as warmed hundred.
No talk to John Facenda about it. That's what you
would say for forty years. Oh, we'll talk to ai,
John f Cinda.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
The only way the Packers win is they get thick
bones about start of the Grave and Curl Lambeau and
Vince Lombardy and some of the Green Bay Packers another
Paul hog Kaufman that was Greg Cook's teammate, and James Loft,
and it will not on Monday Night football in the Tundra,

(28:33):
forty four to four Texans over.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
The Packers, forty four to four. That's gotta be another
score of Gommis. It's gotta be some kind of record.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Game time temperature for degrees. Week eighteen. Here we go
to be determined to be determined, the opponent not to
be determined. Tennessee Titans. Davis Mills will be the first
backup quarterback in history to throw for four hundred yards
in a single day vigual game. Texans forty seven Titans eight.

(29:07):
So yes, friends, forty seven eight. Your Houston Texans are
going undefeated seventeen and oh this year. It's a perfect
season for the Texans. All I say to you, Houston
is enjoy.

Speaker 10 (29:23):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Uh yeah, you got.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
There's only been one score where the other team's had
a four ever in NFL history. That was ten to
four Chicago Cardinals versus the Racing Legion in nineteen twenty three.

Speaker 5 (29:35):
You know what you doing the research on that.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
I'm good about. The shed a tear here on this one.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
I think you had the other team getting to safeties
like six times. Smat, it's got so good. It's only
happened in nineteen twenty three. You know, crazy stuff happens.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
I guess you know what me let me say that
for next Tuesday's got feel like, Okay, there's gonna be
a score the two. There's gonna be an NFL game
next season with two safeties in it. I'm gonna put
it down. Okay, all right, there you go there. It
is a perfect seventeen and no season for Houston Texans,
thus ross home field advantage all throughout the AFC playoffs.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
Clearly, I mean I would imagine they're not gonna be
tied with anybody.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
I would think that. All right, there you have it
seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven ninety. If you
want to come in on my thoughts on the Texans
going seventeen and oh seventeen and oh, let's get to
that coming up at eleven thirty. If I'm sorries and
I do want to say this, Ross and we'll bring

(30:38):
this up coming back on the NFL in all seriousness. Uh,
I do believe the schedule in the NFL, obviously showing
that money is the most important thing, but I think
we're also losing something else from all these international games.
We'll take you about that in a moment. It is
a ten forty three. It's Matt Ross here on Anything
Goes Friday, Sports Talk seven ninety. It isn't anything goes Friday.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
I'm at Thamas, Joel Ross.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
I just gave you Texas fans some great news. Your
squad is gonna go seventeen to oh this season next season.
Home field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs unbelievable. You really
are a liberty white man? Well do I? I kind
of need a team, don't I. I though I got
a sneaking suspicion, Rossie, My Cougars are gonna help me

(31:23):
out big time this year. What do you mean? I
think we're gonna have a fun year. Win totals out yet?

Speaker 10 (31:31):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Our non conference games are.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Cupcicks Oregon Okay, oh okay, yeah, Cupcake.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Southern. You couldn't even add anything to that. I'd like
to say California, but I can't.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
And Georgia State, Oh, Georgia Southern. Mm embarrassing, it's not
great embarrassment.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
I hate win.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
The win total is seven and a half.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
Oh, it's got oh oh, I'm gonna fire off on that.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
I'm going higher than that. Go ahead, won't you be?
Uh you being the LC soon? Oh yeah, yeah, l C.
I'm coming for you LC, and I'm gonna come and
bet that higher seven and a half win total. Let's go. Okay,
back to my apoint a minute ago, and again it's
anything goes Friday here in the program seven one, three,
seven nine zero. Ross Let's let's not even say the

(32:41):
word money for the next minute. Okay, okay, three minutes
is the NFL putting themselves in a little bit of
danger by putting so many games overseas. And I'm not
saying I'm maybe looking at a micro viewpoint of things,
but you are taking one game away from a potential

(33:04):
home game of people going to your stadium and buying
your gear and cheering. Now again, I understand there is
an incredible thirst for games in Ireland and France and
Germany and London and in all different ports, But is
there a small part of you that's thinking, Man, I
know we all want to get that ord that I

(33:24):
can't say, but you could also do yourself favor with
people trying to figure out different things in life. Maybe
you're hurting your audience by not giving them a chance
to have that ninth home game once every couple of years.
I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
I think because especially because it's unique in the NFL
to where everybody plays at the same time, So you're
you're sloughing off one of the games of a twelve
o'clock slate that we can't watch anyways. We can unless
you have Sunday ticket, which most people do not have,
and you can catch a couple of glimpses on a
red zone. So it's a game that most people can't have. Yeah, see,

(34:01):
and you're making it a standalone so in and of itself,
Texans Jaguars with it would otherwise be normally Matt Where's
Texans Jaguars neut on CBS. So instead of nune on CBS,
it's at eight thirty in the morning on NFL network.
I'm gonna imagine that gets a much wider national audience
and carries much more weight than just being available in

(34:24):
only Houston and only Jacksonville at newt on CBS.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
But let me give you the example, and it doesn't
necessarily match us here in town because if the Texans
were to play the Jaguars here in Houston's I'm on
the section of scale that's zero.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
Yeah right, I mean right, nobody.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
But I'll say, this week one of the NFL season,
let me pull the game up here and I'll make
sure I'm right about this. Okay, this is Week one.
This is the Niners in the Rams. That is that's
a rivalry, right, That's two amazing NFL teams in those cities.
Not that I spent a lot of time. I'm caring

(35:00):
about what Rams fans think, but they're not going to
get the Niners game in l A. That game is
in Melbourne, Australia. You have a rivalry game within your
division that is really sexy, and you're you're telling the
NFL has said, eh, you know what, enjoy the Falcons
in LA. We're gonna send the game that really means

(35:21):
something to you to Melbourne again. I'm just I'm gonna
be talking on them, you know, one of them saying
this is this is this also maybe a one off two,
but it's just if you're gonna send games over there,
don't you send the crappy games over there?

Speaker 3 (35:34):
I think, well no, because now you you can't and
you told me not to mention the number one reason
all is happening. That's ridiculous. Like I'm saying, tell me
why the Civil War happened and not mentioning slavery, Like, okay,
it's obvious. Are other reasons.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Yeah, I'm proud about some other games that are overseas
that would be be like, man, why are you setting
that one over there?

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Because Netflix is cutting a big check and they want
good games, very simple.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
That's why there's more.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
Okay, that's why they're making the skate, That's why they
added a seventeenth game. You get seventeen because you get
another week of potential of good matchups to sell and
slough off to these the netflixes and the Prime videos
and every et cetera.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Like for instance, the Colts put the Commanders in week four.
That game is in London. Okay, you can get that
game up. That's a big deal. Eagles Jaguars the next
week mentioned they're playing on a cricket ground, the Paris game.
There's a game in Paris this year. Steelers Saints.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
They got to You gotta root for the Saints, right
and from New Orleans.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Oh, we're always rooting for the Saints.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
We're going on the Model Land Many We're going a party.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
I just wanted to ross to do that. You set
me up that I did. Like for instance, they're going
to Madrid to play the Bengals Falcons since Satti Atlanta.
I don't care.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
Take that game away, Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
I'm not getting up for that game. I'm sorry at
eight thirty. I'm sorry. I know it's Joe Burrow's my
fantasy quarterback. Yeah, and I normally don't get up for them.
Maybe I'll catch the second half. Well, I'm looking at
fantasy stuff. Well, I got one for you. This is
a potential Now I don't know if it's a super
Bowl potential game, but it's a sexy one Patriots, Lions
and Munich. Hmmm. You wouldn't I go to Germany? Holder,

(37:33):
You wouldn't mind having the defending Nancy champions in your building?
Once to put up your mic vrabel signs.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
I mean it happens you you miss out on home games. Hey,
every year as a Texas Longhorn season ticket holder, you
don't get the Oklahoma game.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
I guess my answer is the question I asked you was,
does he end NFL potentially hurt themselves by going so international? No,
they're trying to well.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Know they've they've got I mean, excuse my French, they've
got the United States by the balls, Matt. They're doing
three hour specials on a schedule or release where everybody
already knows the opponents, and the ratings are good and
people are watching and paying attention that they were already
it's over here, it's over, it's done. They got us,

(38:28):
So they're looking to expand.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
I may be taking an l I good tell the
next thing is gonna have to do. But a forgets
this eighteen game thing, and he's gonna he's gonna put
a team overseas.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Maybe that just logistically seems ridiculous, but I guess they're
trying to figure out out. They're trying to figure out
what those super Jets or whatever the hell are called.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
What you do? You play three home through road, three
home through road, which it's gonna be awkward.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
Nobody's gonna like that. Why would anybody sign as a
free agent over there? They would have to get a
bigger salary cap or sign it.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
I bet you get an international bonus.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Yeah, you'd have to. But then even then, like I
just I just think because the players wouldn't want to
agree to that, I don't know if they would have to.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
I guess. So you play your first game September fourth,
you play four eleven, eighteen, You get a bye week
that puts you out the twenty, and then you start.
Then you play one, you play October first, eighteen and
fifteenth back in the in the States. I mean, I mean,
you're being to be gone three weeks.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
I think it makes a lot more sense on paper
than it does in reality.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
I think you're probably right about that, all right, U
Astros lost yesterday. Are Ranger fans going to infiltrate Diking
Park this weekend? I'm definitely afraid of that. We'll get
to I'm sorry is at eleven thirty if you want
to talk about my Texas prediction of them going seventeen
and oh seven one three two one two five seven nine.
If you want to join us, it's an anything Goes

(39:52):
Friday seven one three two one two five, seven nine
zero ten fifty eight is the on his show with
Ross Cool on Sports Talk seven ninety Mad at Ross
with you here on this Friday's and then it goes Friday.

(40:14):
Are y'all we gotta anybody they're waking up with us?
Just want to make sure y'all are out there. Phones
are working, okay, So make sure I think I think
so funny shoes earlier this week shout out to iHeart
and took care of it in just two days. Yeah,
we got it done, baby. All's well, that ends well,
all right, So let's test those phones, phone lines out

(40:36):
and anything goes Friday? ROSSI seven one three two two
five seven ninety seven one three two one two five
seven ninety So you know how bad things are for
the astrois besud of the fact that there are multiple
games that are five hundred and basically in the last
place this entire season. Jeremy Payna goes to Corpus, Christie,
let's go rehab.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
Let's just get a couple of games and make you
feel yourself better, and then boom gets up ended.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Up ended, and then it gets hit. I mean, he's
got next spasm.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
He can't even go to a rehab appearance, He's got
the he's got the sore neck.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Now it's Spota's fault. What about that? Did Joe Spatta
jared on that one?

Speaker 3 (41:13):
He flipped Jeremy Panna onto his neck and Corpus That
was very rude of Joe Aspata.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
The dumbest thing I saw, and there are things I
see on the Twitter verse, was that's the Astros again.
If a guy's ready to go, why you wasting your
time in double Why you're wasting your time in Rome?
My god?

Speaker 5 (41:28):
It was it was like, I want, I want to
strangle people, not.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
Like in a like in a hurtful way, but.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
Not in a hurtful way to strangle someone.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Well, I mean, you know, a semi semi hurtful.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Way Okay, you know what I'm saying, semi hurtful, it's
just not to death like a stranglation.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Man, I think that's that's a sault.

Speaker 5 (41:49):
Okay, so let me Uh can I bitch slap some
people with bead?

Speaker 3 (41:52):
That's also assault? Yes, you know what, I use my words.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
There you go. That's why you tell your tell your
your young children. Use your words. It's not your physical
not your hands.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
You can cut neat with some words, especially your children's true.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Uh So this is a snake bit organization, it really is.
I mean, how many times do runners collide with people
between second first and second base? Now, it does happen.
It's not like it's a it's atypical, but it's not
a common occurrence. I just I feel I don't remember.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Can you remember an astro recently getting hurt at second
ever in the major league level? I mean it's been
a while, guys in the basic exactly, I think, you know,
maybe they'll two vase, somebody's hit him, probably Bigio.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Back in the day.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Yeah, but it's so rare and crazy in the first place.
And then it happened while he's rehabbing from a hamstring injury.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
So he's doing non baseball activities, but second straight.

Speaker 3 (43:02):
Non baseball activities. What does that mean he's baking?

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Well, I mean, I mean we could deduce crocheting effectively.
What a non baseball Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
Most of my activities are non baseball activities throughout the
day as well.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
You know what it is. That's what I should have said,
instead of having Tatsui emi.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
This weekend non non baseball activities, I should have talked
about having to do some different non baseball activity. Well,
he can have sex with his wife, Matt, No, he can't.

Speaker 5 (43:36):
You know what you can't. You know what you can't do.
You can't have sex?

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Do you throws?

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Give me six strong? Oh oh now you want him unstaining?
Will you make a decision please? Six strong?

Speaker 2 (43:47):
What I mean, innings would be the national answer.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
That's what you were talking about his relations with his wife.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Minutes. I don't no, I'm grasping its straw. Sports are
thank you?

Speaker 3 (44:03):
Well, you know what, uh a, you get your your
ace and your co ace this weekend with Kaiwaiting's the
sandwich in between ball. The way he's getting another start,
are they trying to stretch him where they're just like
oh yeah, no, a spot has said six man rotation
with Kaiwaiting, which in my mind, when as soon as
I saw that, I thought, that's really that's just a
next that's just a longer bullpen guy. Because we saw

(44:27):
Kaiway Tang trying to go for that fourth inning last time.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Out and he kind of ran out of gas.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
Yeah, but he got to like sixty five pitches I think,
or something right then?

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Right, okay, but how many? All right? But my point though,
is how many starters. When you'd say a starter thrower
gives you sixty five pitches, how how long is that
usually in a game, unless he's just throwing bbi's one after.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
The Is it Greg Maddix or is a kaiwait ting? Depends?
Greg Maddix gets you five and sixty five.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
You know who would hate abs? It's uh oh is
Greg maddocks, poor guy? Not Eveld despise it.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
You know who would love it? Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell.
In the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Some look at the box score from yesterday.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
They're trying to stretch him out. They're trying to get
him more than sixty pitches.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Yeah, yeah, I And look he's been good. I mean,
I've been very pleased with him so far. I mean
going to tip his captain himself on something. It's gonna
be kyway tang right. Rest stuff not so much.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
I guess Brianon Braid's got was hitting like ninety seven.

Speaker 5 (45:27):
Yeah, and he's giving.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
You four straight good appearances in a row. Small steps now,
granted they're not in safe situations because the Astros have
not had a lot of safe situations coming into the season.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
He was getting whiffs on his slider. That's good.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
The new look lineup yesterday didn't do so much. Cole
Al Tuvey went collectively oh for nine with four strikeouts.
Is that bad? I don't think it's wonderful. Oh for
nine with four ks where this is a statement that
I'm about to give you that I never thought I
would ever say as a major marketer. Your host, Uh huh.
Where would this Astro team be without Brandon Shoemaker Right now,

(46:03):
Braiden Shoemaker is bawling, and yourd On Alvarez had had
three hits with the homer Louis Castillo, I would have liked.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
Him sucking in the lineup. But that's okay. We're not
gonna quibble. Even though I just did, But it's okay.
You are a quibbler, the quibbler. That'd be a that'd
be like a funny SNL squit skit. Instead of the Riddler,
the quipp is the quibbler or the quibbler the quibbler.
By the ways, SNL season finale this week.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
Oh man, can't wait. The host will be Will Ferrell
the Musical the legendary Paul McCartney.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
Oh, Will's back. I might actually watch that. Oh, they're
gonna wheel out Paul McCartney.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
That's good, Jonathan, write that down for him for eleven
and thirty day.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
Why am I apologizing to you for that way?

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Paul McCartney is fine? Why is he? Nobody's rolling anybody out?
He is? He wanted. He's eighty three. It looks great
for he's eighty three.

Speaker 3 (46:59):
And I need to appology to you for what? Because
he walks, he eats, he's more of a.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Wadlerne No, that's the point. Yeah, he's making you know what?
You know what?

Speaker 3 (47:11):
Maybe it's that vegan lifestyle. He's been since like the seventies.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
Right, he's been vegan and he also smoked an incredible
amount of pot back in the day too. May still
probably do.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
Yeah, that's everybody in the sixties. Yeah, I'm probably he
probably still gets down.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
Am I. Now let me ask you this. When Paul
passes away, and hopefully it will not be for a
long time, but if it happens while we're on the air,
do I get the rest of the show off? No?

Speaker 3 (47:35):
Why he's eighty three. Mentally, prepare yourself, just like Bob Barker.
Just hope nothing comes out after way back.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
I'm gonna give you to take you something.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
If Kendrick Lamar passes away, Oh my god, point yeah,
he's like third, that would be sudden.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
He's like thirty eight.

Speaker 3 (47:48):
Well, but if we're doing our show forty five years
from now, we are not doing the show in forty
five years.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
That would put me at.

Speaker 5 (47:56):
I'd be the oldest sportscaster in the history of sports.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
It's not happening, Okay, that's fine. Seven one three, two
one two five seven nine. If you want to chime in,
anything goes Friday continues, uh seven one three two one
two five seven. Ninez that it was weird the NBA.
What is the NBA doing doubleheader today? No games yesterday?
Now I know some series ended obviously, and you can't

(48:20):
control that. That's all good. No, that's all good. We
nothing else to do. Last we have big games.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
Maybe big game six is must win games.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Are we taking an NBA call this week? I would
Why would we? I mean maybe? No.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
When we talked about James Harden's legacy, I think we
did gook a few.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
James Harden's legacy on the line tonight.

Speaker 5 (48:44):
Oh no, well, come on, well, where are you at?

Speaker 3 (48:46):
Well, you know you're out thirty seven. His legacy is
not on the line. He's already got the legacy of
one of the greatest all time regular season players regular
season players.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
He's Where is he on the all time scoring list?
He's like seventh or something, right, Yeah, all of Durant, Westbrook,
and Harden all in the top fifteen.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
Do you think it's easier to score today or is
it harder to score today? Well, the scoring is scoring
is up. Scoring is up than it was in the nineties.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
Uh oh no, He's not yet ninth on the all
time scoring list, but.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
He shows no signs of slowing down.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Russell Westbrook fourteen, Kevin Durant five.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
There is somebody in the list that you would be flabbergasted. Well,
I have the list in front of me, so I
think I know who you're talking about. Is it de
Jante Murray? You mean DeMar de Rosan. That's why I
get those two guys mixed up all the time.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Okay, yeah, DeMar de Rozan sixteenth. He just passed Oscar
Robertson and Dominique Wilkins.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
Will you think of the great all time players? You
think of Oscar Robertson, You think of Dominique Wilkins and
DeMar DeRozan fifteen? You know who's gonna get bumped out
of the top fifteen by DeMar de Rosen. Hakeem the
dream olajuh want to shut your dirty horror mouth. I'm
just telling you the facts I know. And well, he

(50:09):
maybe never He maybe number fifteen of the scorn less.
He's never one in my heart. That's good. Does he
know my name? Yes? Or no? For ten thousand dollars?
He calls you voice. That's right, he calls your voice.
That's not a bad name to have.

Speaker 5 (50:21):
I mean it's compared to idiot, yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
Or hey you or jackass. You've been called worse. Yeah,
But my partner unfortunately. Yeah, I know she needs to

Speaker 2 (52:52):
Hmmm. Seven one three two one two five seven ninety
seven one three two one two five seven ninety When
an NBA player throws shade at his former coach, we'll
discuss that next year on seven ninety. All right, I'm
gonna give you all a little background information here we got.

(53:12):
I'm sorry, it's coming up in about ten minutes. If
you want to apologize or something, and Lauren knows, I've
met some of you and work with some of you
and need apologize for for anything you've done. Miles Turner
left the Indiana Pacers to go to the Milwaukee Bucks,
and I would say rass and just for the sake
of for the audience, knowing if you were to list
the worst sea acquisitions or trades or off season moves,

(53:34):
I think Miles Turner leaving to go to the to
the Bucks is the worst one has been pound for
pound and recognizes the worst one of the off season. Now, oh,
we didn't even mention him in our list of Longhorn
legends who are big men. That's our fault. It is
our fault. So it was so bad. He went on
a podcast game recognized the game. Is that is that

(53:55):
I heard podcast, Probably probably haven't heard forty nine hours
of promotion of it. That's a different issue for a
different time. So Miles Turner goes on this podcast and
he says, talking about his former coach, Doc Rivers of
the Milwaukee Bucks, that he'd never quote didn't find anybody

(54:16):
ever that there was a detailed lack of discipline.

Speaker 5 (54:21):
Wal Rivers was the coach.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
Turner also, by the way, this guy is still a
teammate of his singles out Yannis oh Oh for taking
advantage of the situation, noting that the Adenta goopo would
quote show up whenever he wants. Quoting Miles Turner, Texas legend,

(54:45):
Ross says, guys were laid all the time. Guys were
showing up to film whenever they wanted to show up.
Guys were missing meetings. It was one of the craziest
things I personally ever experienced. Asked by Breonna Stewart, who
was the host of this game Recognizes Game podcast, who
was most likely to be late last season, Turner said

(55:09):
it was an easy answer. Jannis Yannis is gonna show
up whenever he wants. Really, I think that this kind
of just came with the territory that. Once I saw
what was going down, I was like, hey, man, more
power to you. They ain't gonna find you blank do
what you do. It was crazy, dog you said, dog dawg. Dog.

(55:33):
Guys were an hour late to the plane. It got
to the point where I knew not the show up
until an hour after they said the plane was taking off.
It was crazy. Now this would be interesting fodder, ROSSI
if this was for a player talking about another player
who was a former teammate. But right now as we

(55:56):
stand on May the fifteenth to twenty twenty six, Miles
Turner and Yanni, is that the good bar are still teammates?

Speaker 3 (56:04):
Yeah, Miles turned I went to go look at the deal.
He's it's got two more years there and then a
player option.

Speaker 12 (56:16):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
I have a question for you, Matt, as you've been
on the team, plan says I mean, are they they
normally leave on time?

Speaker 2 (56:22):
I'm going to tell you, and you know some things
I can't tell you, but I can tell you that
in the ten years of travel with a team, when
James was with us, we were always, always, always, always late. Okay,
So if the plane was to leave, it too, we
would leave it as James Posey, you're talking about James

(56:43):
Posey exactly, James. Who else would there be a James
of I think we're done, we would leave. We would
be out of there. Three three fifteen, three thirty.

Speaker 10 (56:50):
It was.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
It was not pretty. Now. Granted, I can't do that
because I'm not James Harden. So when they say you
need to be the planet two o'clock, I gotta be
the planet two o'clock. Yes, but yeah, we would sit
and sit and sit.

Speaker 7 (57:02):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
Since im Adoka has taken over, we if the plane
says we leave it too, we probably are other to thirty.
That's that's really good actually, honestly, Yeah, when you think
about it, so, uh, plane discipline, film discipline, practice times workout,
be it certain place A or place B that is

(57:24):
largely led by your coach. If the coach does not
lay that law down, then how do you expect the
players to buy into that kind of stuff? So credit
to e May And you know it's also some veteran
teams also the same thing, you know, because veteran players
don't want to be sticking around extra time either. So

(57:46):
I would just say that to me and my experiences.
It's more about the coach doing the you gotta be
there and again sometimes, Look, I'm not trying to throw
my D'Antonio on the best because Mike dntoni is one
of my favorite people on Earth. But there's all also
ross and you know this too, there are going to
be special situations for special players.

Speaker 7 (58:06):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (58:07):
If Lebron James doesn't show up till four o'clock for
a flight at two thirty, I mean, that's what comes
to the territory of being the second greatest player in
the history of the NBA. Michael Jordan probably had ran
by different rules and coaches have to kind of acquiesce
and play by it, and sometimes you get a little
law down. Sometimes you guys got to say, Hey, you know,
am I going to complain to my guy who's scoring

(58:28):
me thirty five points a game if he's twenty minutes
late for the flight. You know, you kind of have
to pick and choose your poison.

Speaker 3 (58:33):
There, No, Matt, why don't they get in their face
and have them show some accountability. Sorry, I was channeling
my area. I was channeling my inner Twitter fan.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
Okay, I got you. I used to think that way too,
But you know, like you know, Mike and I would
talk a lot of times. You'd say, look, you know,
I am responsible for this team. I'm responsible for drawing
up the offense. I'm responsible for calling the timeouts, I'm
responsible for putting the players in blah blah blah. But
at the end of the day, if if I can't

(59:05):
keep my stars happy, I'm out of work. And you
know how the king of all that was Ross when
you really think about it, if you're talk about basketball
for a second, Phil Jackson. Phil Jackson was the first coach
Ross I ever heard say I can't treat Michael Jordan
the same way that I treat B. J. Armstrong, nor
should he. I mean, I want to, I'd like to,

(59:25):
but I'm not going to. When Dennis Rodman says I
need a couple of days away from you punks to
go to Vegas or to go to wrestle and I'll
get you nineteen rebounds in the finals a game the
next night, Phil Jackson's like, Okay, go on, dude, do
what you gotta do. It's a different era. It's unclear
because here's the thing. If you start bending rules and

(59:47):
making players rules for different players, which obviously you're doing,
you're going to then if that player has not come
through and there guys are gonna disrespect you, they're gonna
take advantage of it. And that's what I think has happened.
If you're honesty, then to Goopo is showing up a
twenty minutes late from meetings, but he's walking into the
building scoring thirty seven points, Garbon nineteen rebounds. Bobby Porterschner
can say all he wants, it don't matter. But if

(01:00:09):
Giannis is hurt or Jannis is only you know is
scoring nineteen points on six and twenty three shooting, you're
setting yourself up for disaster. That's why chemistry in sports
is so freaking important, because if your star tries to
bend the rules but doesn't come through in the moment's
most important, you lose the entire locker room, You lose

(01:00:31):
the entire team.

Speaker 13 (01:00:33):
Go ahead, Jonathan, Or if the star player goes on
Twitter and starts bashing his teammates, does that being a correlation?

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
We wouldn't want that. I haven't heard of that happening
anywhere either.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
And Miles Turner didn't basically sent and putting it on
Doc Rivers. So as you were talking about it as
a coach. Yeah, there wasn't fines for being late to
treatment or apparently film or to the plane and all
that stuff. Normally guys get fined, they pay their fines
and move on. Apparently wasn't happening in Milwaukee. According to
Myles Turner.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
My guess is Doc was probably like, Man, I've coached
three thousand games. I ain't got time for this. It
was a curious hire. When it happened, it was very bizarre.
All right, Ross, you're ready to apologize for the things
you said and done this week?

Speaker 5 (01:01:24):
What we'll find out next?

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
Oh okay, I remember the one remark I made in
the first segment.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Yeah, it's gotta be other things. Seven three seven one
three two one two five seven ninety seven one three
two one two five seven ninety. Damn you, astros, damn
you seven one three two one two five seven ninety

(01:01:49):
with listen, you've been rude to people this week. Given
mean you said things happy to call some one three
two one two five of any and out of these
very simple words.

Speaker 14 (01:02:05):
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
This that works. You apologize, you say you're sorry, You
move along. I will start the idiot. I arguing with
that Aggie's fan about that tweet that I said. He said,
I sent out a couple of days ago. This didn't
age well. I'm sorry for saying that A M is

(01:02:36):
embarrassed for you. Hold on, you're what I'm sorry that
that that A and M is embarrassed that I have you
using alum.

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
This is see, this is an attack. This is not
an apology.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
You don't know that. Yes, I'm speaking for Texas A
and M. You're saying you're sorry for an institution.

Speaker 3 (01:02:59):
The guy you got an argument with that he I
guess represents on his Twitter account or something.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Yes, this didn't age well. Let me tell you something.
If you ever tell anybody this doesn't age well, unless
it really doesn't age well, I have don't have time
for you.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
This is the problem with the four you tab. His
stuff comes out like hours after the after and so yeah,
he thought or or you know, not on time. So
he thought you were talking about Brian A.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
Bray. You right, I don't know what he's talking about Brian.
I simply said, good lord, this team missus Jose Josh hater.
That could be whether it'll bring you through BB's or
or Brian King didn't throw bbs. This team misses Josh Hater.
That is, that is an indisputable statement. No one could
possibly argue with me about missing Josh Hater this. And

(01:03:46):
let me tell you how he sounded. Miss d't age well,
gig him, shut you bump ass up exactly. I'm sorry
for a and im forgiving the guy. I'd agree probably
cheated his way through there. Oh you don't know that
he got a degree. That's true. He called himself a
class of eighty five. Oh okay, and then then probably
that's true. I'll have some heartfelt apologies here, shorty Ross.

(01:04:10):
What do you got well?

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
I think, first of all, you and Jonathan need to
apologize for putting brown gravy on a chicken fried steak.
This is not my first choice. Poll yesterday eighty four
cream gravy.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Let's cow many? How many boats you got to that poll?
By the way, I'm just curious over one hundred? That's nice.

Speaker 3 (01:04:27):
Yeah, I'm shutting my mess up.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
I'm so sorry. You know what it is.

Speaker 5 (01:04:33):
I accept everyone for what they are and what they
want to be.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
No, you're such a liar and a fraud. I like
crean gravy a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:04:42):
I've gotten in beef with the Rockets pr for talking
about how they.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Like their steak. If you but that's that's ridiculous, oh said.

Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
Hold on, you're screaming at Craig Ackerman for whose foot preference?

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
So sorry, So.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
No, not like a mister acceptance over there.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
Come on, now, I accept Brown. I expect accept the cream.
Nobody else can. Yes, you do, Jonathan. You are walking
in front of my house and we'll have a big
pot roast or turkey or chicken fried steak or chicken
fried chicken, or we will actually do a meat loaf

(01:05:17):
and I will put any kind of gravy one on there.
We're happy you put gravy on meat loaf. You can
put a brown gravy on a met loaf, for sure
you could, but you can go with red. The I
would not put a cream gravy on a metalof that
would be I don't.

Speaker 13 (01:05:29):
I've ever had a meatloaft other than the ketchup. That's
that's interesting. Yeah, some people do brown gravy.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Is it good? It's good.

Speaker 3 (01:05:36):
Yeah, it's it's like kind of like Salisbury steak with
brown gravy.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
Okay, I am team Brown. I'm team cream what team what? Seven?
One three two one two five seven dollars?

Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
But you don't like biscuits and gravy?

Speaker 7 (01:05:52):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
Let me take something and you want to be mister Texas.
See next Listen to me very carefully, very very careful.
Next time I'm in an hotel.

Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
No, no, because you keep getting getting dairyot biscuits and
gravy and saying.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
You don't like it. Go to a restaurant.

Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
I'm not saying getting it from the free breakfast with
the eggs out of a box and the gravy out
of a box. You this is you keep eating things
that are low quality and then saying you don't like them.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
All right, man, I have one more thing.

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
Do you get the brisket from the guy on the
side of the road and say you don't like brisket?

Speaker 5 (01:06:28):
Can I go to a proper place?

Speaker 2 (01:06:30):
Can I put sausage on that biscuit?

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
You'll put sausage all over it, Maddie, and then in
your mouth.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
Okay, what I promise you today is May fifteenth. By
June fifteenth, I will have video of me eating biscuits,
gravy and sausage all together collectively as well.

Speaker 5 (01:06:51):
That's what mister Texas owes.

Speaker 3 (01:06:53):
You go to like a proper breakfast diner somewhere. I
don't even know where the best ones in Houston.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Would be to be fine, right, Nnie sing it all
out there? I don't, but you're there today.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
Probably not great you're gonna go to I guess I
mean apparently Rinnie and Riggy's have some good people are saying.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
It's gonna cost you forty one dollars to it's gonna minimum.
All right, Ross, what are you apologizing?

Speaker 3 (01:07:14):
Let's see a couple of things. I'm sor I'm sorry
for the comment at the beginning of the show where
you said it was you said you went to the
doctor and I asked if they removed the stick.

Speaker 2 (01:07:26):
I'm sure that's rude.

Speaker 13 (01:07:32):
Oh, I've been up a little bit long today.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
That was funny. Wow, damn you met that That good?
That was a good. Wait, apologizing you would not get
mad if someone said to somebody pulled the stick out,
that's very nice. Let's roast. Wait what happened? Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
I would like to apologize to the city of Houston
for two different ends of the spectrum of pictures this week.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
For the Houston Astros.

Speaker 3 (01:08:05):
I'm sorry for not believing in lance Pecolas Junior.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
I'm sorry and.

Speaker 3 (01:08:09):
Saying, uh, Mariners minus one thirty seven was locked in
the day. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for myself on that too.
And I'm sorry for believing in tatsu I Mai.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
I'm sure he went out there. He only threw two pitches.

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
And they were all getting rocketed around the stadium. I'm
sorry for believing Jonathan.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
He is right. I'm sorry. He has been team EMI
for a long time, not team EMI. I'm trying to
give the man some grace. He's a human being. He's
trying to adjust. It's very difficult. I'm trying to show
grace and understanding. Matt. We've been trying to tell.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
Him, you know, well, it's got to work out or
it's not. I mean it's fine. I mean it's working out,
just not in the ass space. It's working out for
the Mariners.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
I get you.

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
The checks are so clear and yet working out for
the bank account. What's the extreme drink? How is it
going with the end?

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
Probably got a nice condo around here. Yeah, I don't know.
All right, Jonathan, what are you apologizing for?

Speaker 13 (01:09:12):
I'm gonna apologize to Grams. I'm house sitting right now. Uh,
And I just didn't think because she's a garden in
her back and I just.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
Didn't think you spray it with roundup.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
No no, no, no.

Speaker 13 (01:09:27):
One's in the pot and ones in the ground and
it is close together, and said peach tree next to

If you want to go to Yard Barker on MSM.

Speaker 3 (01:13:57):
I use Yard Barker. Some me just said it's an aggregator.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
The name of the story is Mauricio Dubon, the Gift
that keeps on giving great.

Speaker 3 (01:14:08):
Uh, he's two for his last seventeen.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
Okay, so it's coming down to earth as we thought.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
He's Duboni. I can remember like it was yesterday. Somebody
call him the tenth yes and saying should the Astros
trade pose L two bait?

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
Because Marico Dubon's playing so well, it's like a boss.

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
It's interesting to me how we're still prisoners of small
samples all the time, Like people like Christian Vasquez needs
to play every day. Okay, well how's that going.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
Yeah, Christian Vasquez just regress.

Speaker 14 (01:14:47):
A little bit, so sod.

the plate.

which is about half the days there's it's a little
trafficking for me.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
Like how many miles do you drive it a year?

Speaker 3 (01:16:11):
Exactly, it's on me quite frankly. I don't make enough
money to raise a family, okay, so I can hardly
feed myself. So it's never an option. So I stay
in the city. I live in the city. I enjoy
great restaurants.

hour schedule breakdown. I heard so many dorks predicting schedule yesterday.
I was like, no, wonder our medium sucks. You do

(01:21:22):
a mock schedule? No.

Speaker 5 (01:21:25):
People were like, can the Texans can they?

Speaker 9 (01:21:27):
Can they survive these cold weather games if they have
to play back to bank weeks. I'm really worried if
the Texans get off to a good start, if they
have a I mean, seriously, stop carrying the damn water.

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
I love the Rockets more than like, I don't give
you four hour Rockets breakdown schedule.

Speaker 5 (01:21:44):
They lose, they lose.

Speaker 2 (01:21:45):
I'm sad.

Speaker 9 (01:21:46):
I'm sad, but hey, everybody you know, Well, the Texans
be able to adjusted playing and Jackson playing in London

Speaker 2 (01:21:57):
Come on, you don't be better, dumbasses. I feel better, Ross.
How are you?

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
I'm doing great, Matthew, Thank you for asking.

Speaker 2 (01:22:06):
All right, let's get to the news at noon.

Speaker 3 (01:22:13):
All right, Matthew, I guess if you want to start
the news at noon with your Houston Astros. They lost
eight to three to the Seattle Mariners or not. Mike
Burrows not great. Seven earned runs in five and two
thirds innings.

Speaker 2 (01:22:29):
Pitch that is called a start. Minus that is called
a did not even get on the grill to be
a medium rare start.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
Good news is jord On Alvarez was three for three
with a homer, so he's got his ops back comfortably
over a thousand. Not that it did below, but it
was getting a little close. Cody Bolten ate up some
innings for you, and the Rangers are in town and
your two co aces are going to pitch in three
of the games, that being Spencer Arraghetti and Peto Lambert.

Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
Question for you, I say it very softly, because you
what you do. Sometimes you don't want to ask questions, what, well,
there'd be a change by Monday? What change?

Speaker 3 (01:23:08):
What kind of change?

Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
Change? Change your underwear? Yeah, all right, that's good. I'll
accept that. I'll accept that as an answer. I agree
with you, there'll be no changes by Monday. TenneT Claw.

Speaker 5 (01:23:16):
I don't want them to be. I wanted to be
a nice weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:23:21):
Well, uh, you want to know where the Astros are
in the American League West standings.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
How close are they at first place?

Speaker 3 (01:23:27):
There's six games back. That's not terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:23:30):
Yeah, but there's three teams ahead of them.

Speaker 3 (01:23:32):
It's a you won the games in front of them, Yeah, Rangers,
Mariners at a's we as.

Speaker 2 (01:23:39):
A first place? About the Rangers down with a nice
serious sweep.

Speaker 3 (01:23:42):
Mariners and Rangers are a game back. So there's a
three way fight right now. The Astros are not in
the fight for the American League West. Okay, all right,
we mentioned this earlier. Big news of the day. Also,
Miles Turner on his game Recognize Game podcast talking about

(01:24:04):
the Milwaukee Bucks and how Doc Rivers was not disciplining
the players with fines. Apparently, I mean, in not so
many words, seems like he was checked out. Asked who
was the most likely to be late to things, said, Yiannis.
Giannis is going to show up whenever he wants. Really,
I think that just kind of came with the territory.
Once I saw what was going down, I was like, hey, man,

(01:24:24):
more power to you. They ain't gonna find you bleep
do what you do talking about are still teammates?

Speaker 10 (01:24:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:24:34):
And Myles Turner, by the way, signed to the Milwaukee
Bucks for two more years.

Speaker 2 (01:24:37):
Sounds like he's gone right and by far he considered
the worst for agent acquisition of.

Speaker 3 (01:24:42):
The offseason last year in the Yes, longhorned legend Myles Turner,
all right, you got a regression, regressed as it were. Okay, Matt,
you wanted the John Rams story? When I saw what
he did, can I oversell it real quick?

Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
Sure? Went on? This was the most incredibly callous, mean spirited, ugly,
nasty thing a golfer could ever do while playing a
professional round of golfer. I sell couldnto? Sure?

Speaker 10 (01:25:15):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (01:25:19):
John Rahm on his own words, I got a flyer
on my second shot that went long. It's not a
good spot, just out of filtration. I tried to make
an air swing just over the grass. I wasn't looking.
I took a divot. Unfortunately I hit a volunteer.

Speaker 2 (01:25:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:33):
Yeah, the man looked fine, he was kind. It was
like an old man. This is gonna shock. He was
an old volunteer at the golf course.

Speaker 2 (01:25:40):
This man who got hit by the divot.

Speaker 3 (01:25:43):
Got hit in the face, yes, and the shoulder, yes,
with grass. He should have went down in a heap
and get that lawsuit going.

Speaker 2 (01:25:52):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:25:57):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:25:59):
The I hope the band's okay. A lot of guys
can get hurt by getting hitting grass. I mean, look,
John Romack like an ass. I mean, we're not trying
to undersell this here.

Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
But by the way, Matt, we also mentioned this yesterday
the last the Pistons calves. Oh yeah, the last two
minute report is out.

Speaker 2 (01:26:20):
Yeah, and I'm not really.

Speaker 3 (01:26:20):
Shocked by this. This is terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
Quote.

Speaker 3 (01:26:25):
Okay, So people who don't know, at the very end
of the game, Jared Allen runs into a Saucer Thompson
who is trying to get the loose ball with about
a second left, and he kind of bumps him out
of the way. Should be a loose ball foul. Should
be the Pistons going to the free throw line. Last
two minute report disagrees quote Alan and Thompson legally stepped

(01:26:46):
to the same spot while pursuing the loose ball and
both lose their balance from marginal contact.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
That's that's bogus. I mean, I love the end game.

Speaker 3 (01:27:03):
Also, I will say this, I thought it was I
thought I could see it being called that way. Number one,
and also number two, we only had the broadcast angle.
Maybe there's another angle where you always get more information
from more angles. Maybe there's an angle where Ausar Thompson
got bumped off and they were both going to the spot. Also,
as I said, it didn't really affect the outcome of
the game, because if Jared Allen even just doesn't even

(01:27:24):
walk there, did Oscar Thompson can't get up a shot
from three quarters court? So they were going overtime no
matter what.

Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
Let me ask you this question. If the foul was
called on your favorite University of Texas center, Chris mim
no chrism when I was on the floor talking about
the one that was actually there, Jared Allen, okay, and
then the Pistons would have challenged or the Cavillers would

(01:27:54):
have challenged it, would they've overturned it? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:27:59):
Like I said, I think you need more angles, and
it's a broadcast angle. It does look it does look
like Ausar Thompson bumps him out of the way. I mean,
I'm sorry, Jared Allen bumps.

Speaker 2 (01:28:09):
That's all I can look at. I mean, if you're
telling me that the NBA has got angles of this
that I don't know about.

Speaker 3 (01:28:15):
Then, but it does look like they're both going for
the ball.

Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
But it's because it doesn't mean it's intentional as I mean,
it doesn't mean there's not contact.

Speaker 3 (01:28:25):
I'm okay with no foul call. That's a bottom line
for me.

Speaker 2 (01:28:29):
I don't know. Well, the NBA look backs Tony Brothers up,
and I actually don't mind Tony Brothers as an official.

Speaker 5 (01:28:35):
I know that some people will get bothered by that.
He doesn't bother me.

Speaker 2 (01:28:39):
He is and he's very rare, I regarded by the
players except Chris Finch. The Wolves doesn't like him either
as well. So apparently Tony Brothers went at him directly.
You go to Tony Brothers and you want to fight
with him, he might he might claw back at you.

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
Oh and well, one more thing, Matt, we have a
blockbuster trade to announce between Pittsburgh and Boston.

Speaker 10 (01:28:59):
What sport?

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
N H.

Speaker 3 (01:29:01):
The Pittsburgh Zoo an Aquarium is trading gorillas with the
Boston Franklin Park Zoo. Frankie, Pittsburgh seven year old Western
Mail Lowland gorilla headed to Boston in exchange for thirty
three year old Little Joe the silverback. Matt, your thoughts,
I won't know where you got this from? Oh boy, Frankie, Yeah,

(01:29:27):
I mean it really seems like Boston sending the thirty
three year old the veteran to Pittsburgh. They're going all in,
Matt at the deadline.

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
Where did you get this report from? What do you mean?
I just saw it on Twitter?

Speaker 3 (01:29:38):
Like yeah, last night, maybe laugh because I saw the
quote somebody quoted and saying and said basically the line
I just stole Pittsburgh's going all in at the deadline
or something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:29:48):
All right, what's gonna be worse that news headline you
just gave us? Or this phone caller James on seven
ninety at twelve fourteen, Hi, James.

Speaker 6 (01:29:59):
How are you going?

Speaker 10 (01:29:59):
Hi?

Speaker 6 (01:30:00):
I'm doing Matt. It's gambler gym. By the way, listen,
the gamblers don't suck. They lost one game in overtime,
which they should have won. They missed the next a
field goal the last second of the game. They should
have won last week's game because they missed a field goal,
so they shouldn't send me in two and five. They
should be five and two. But see, you don't watch
the game, so you don't know any of this. So
I have to call up and tell you this. All right,
we barely lost these games. We're a good football team.

(01:30:21):
And guess what they sent me an email asked me
if I wanted to renew my season tickets for twenty
twenty seven. So we ain't going anywhere, Bud, So take
that and take that to the bank and.

Speaker 3 (01:30:31):
Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Mattie calls
you a bud. Whoo, that's an aggression on that zoo.

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
Two and five.

Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
They're in last place, by the way, tied with the
Columbius Aviators.

Speaker 2 (01:30:50):
Matt's trying to make us think we lost them. Damn it,
camber Gym, you suck and the gamblers suck. How about that?
I did Anything goes Friday? Dam sit down Matt and

at sports RV as well. Seven one three two one
two five seven ninety seven one three two one two
five seven ninety mentioned the Astros a few times have
dropped the eight three game to the Seattle Mariners. Astros
find themselves seventeen and twenty eight two sext Rangers are
in for three? Did you just huff and puff pack?

Speaker 3 (01:31:51):
Oh I'm sorry seventeen twenty eight. That's that hurts to hear.

Speaker 2 (01:31:57):
I take something really bizarre. Yes, sounds seventeen twenty eight.
It's eleven under I mean, god, that's gonna take a
long time to get back to five hundred. Maybe I
was gonna say it doesn't sound as bad as I
think I thought it does, But now that I've said
it twice, now it does sound as bad as I thought.
It was.

Speaker 3 (01:32:17):
Eleven games under five hundred. You can't finish the season
like that, right.

Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
You can finish eighty two to eighty and win the
division you want to? You think so, I don't think so, No,
because you can. But I think this division is gonna
I think Seattle's gonna break out of this.

Speaker 3 (01:32:38):
Yeah better, Yeah, I think Seattle eventually be better, and
maybe maybe the Rangers two. But also, you're eleven games under.
You gotta and and it's May fifteenth long season. But you,
I will say, you cannot continue to sink. You need
to eventually start at least playing five hundred. Get Hunter

(01:32:58):
Brown back, get some pitch, is pitching better, and then
start trying to climb up. Okay, so here do you
end up like fifteen or more games under five hundred? Man,
I don't know how how this later into the season.
I don't know how they're going to climb out of
that with this team the way it is, all right,
this is.

Speaker 2 (01:33:13):
A rational deduction of what you just described. All right,
So Hunter Brown comes back, Does that mean he's gonna
every time he's gonna pitch, he's gonna give you seven
innings of three hit ball? I would hope so, but
probably not. But let me give you some more. Is
Peter Lambert going to continue to be as good as
he's been, probably not, probably has even alter here, right? Yes?

(01:33:34):
Uh is Spencer Ragenny going to guarantee you, you know,
eleven strikeouts over six innings every time out? Probably not. See.
So they're missing the playoffs? Yeah, they're God, I hate
to do this because you.

Speaker 3 (01:33:49):
Said they're washed or done or what was the word
you use, torch starched.

Speaker 2 (01:33:54):
He's gonna be drag clan. They've the hole, they Doug
is too deep.

Speaker 3 (01:34:03):
Do you want playoff odds from our friends at Fangrafts.

Speaker 2 (01:34:06):
Because here's the reality. If you were to get to
five hundred, there's gonna have to be a stretch, probably
multiple stretches where you win seven out of ten, yes,
because no one's winning eleven or they can't win two
out of three. You need games on The Astros won
back to back games.

Speaker 3 (01:34:27):
It was recently and then it had been a month.

Speaker 10 (01:34:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:34:30):
No, it was against the Red Sox, but before that,
I think it had been a few weeks too. Yeah,
well god, red so No, no, no, no, it was
the they won back to back games in the Red
Sox series, but before that it had been a while.
I have to pull up, I have the schedule but
it doesn't have.

Speaker 2 (01:34:43):
The dates on it, so yeah, okay, But my point
is is that to get to know this when you're
eleven games out of five hundred, I mean, you can
win four or five in a row. Men, that's not
out of the realm.

Speaker 3 (01:34:54):
But yeah, Saturday, May second and third games, hmm, for instance,
back to back wins, they've lost five at the last six.
They're climbing deeper and deeper into a hole. Fangrafts has
their playoff odds at.

Speaker 2 (01:35:12):
Can I just kind of guess? Sure?

Speaker 13 (01:35:16):
Seven point seven, that's close, it's not zero. I bet
April first is when they had won more than two
back to back.

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
Yeah they did. They not sweet. They swept the Reds.

Speaker 3 (01:35:31):
Yeah they sucked the Red Sox. Yeah, they won five
in a row. Then five and two. Remember that five
and two were feeling.

Speaker 2 (01:35:37):
I remember when you and I had Joe on for
the first time on Tuesday. This is fun, this is
great win number. We'll get that knocked out by September first.

Speaker 3 (01:35:48):
Yeah, they had a five game win streak. They have
not had a win streak over two since.

Speaker 2 (01:35:58):
Okay, Slithery Snake.

Speaker 5 (01:36:03):
That's why I felt terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:36:05):
Guys and gals, when I said they were washed so.

Speaker 3 (01:36:09):
Early, because I, well, I've more guys have gotten hurt
since then. Even then, Emi is still I don't know
what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:36:21):
Yeah, let me ask you this and we will obviously
get to this. When Emi pitches next next week, what
do they do? What if he goes out and stinks
it up again? He does have options, but he would
have to accept the demotion himself. He would he can
he can veto a a move down to the bottle

(01:36:42):
leagues because it's not But see the thing of me
rosses and maybe I'm missing this. He's struggling no matter
where he throws. This isn't a case of Major league
hitters have got him figured out. He's He's been the
United States pitching in important games since the end of
what well, February off count spring trainings. Those are not

(01:37:04):
important games. March He's thrown one important game in two months.

Speaker 13 (01:37:15):
I uh, I thought the Japanese league was a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:37:18):
The skill level was very competitive.

Speaker 13 (01:37:22):
Competitive, but not at the same level for sure, and
I were saying, like, oh, should you go down to
the minor league? Is the minor league that much better
than it would be?

Speaker 3 (01:37:31):
Minor leagues not to not to move me to the competition.
I think, what is Japanese like supposed to be like
close to Triple A or something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:37:37):
They say between devil and Triple A the lead of
the league players have come over here and done very well.
So it's not it's not far It's not absurd for
a Far East player to come to the United States
and succeed at the major league level. But not everybody does.

Speaker 3 (01:37:49):
Succeed Not everybody does, and it would be more he'd
be going to the minors, not to just get softer competition.
It would be to kind of figure things out and
workouts kinks and acclimate to the country and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:38:02):
Well, I get that point.

Speaker 13 (01:38:03):
I'm just I'm saying for the fact that like Emi,
I thought he was a better like star, like you know, well,
wound the star already and honed in correct.

Speaker 2 (01:38:11):
That's why the money was good. That's what they thought.
That's what they thought. Yeah, that's what they thought.

Speaker 3 (01:38:15):
He was ready to go. He was supposed to be
ready made third starter.

Speaker 2 (01:38:18):
They didn't have to worry.

Speaker 3 (01:38:20):
He's been ready made disaster.

Speaker 2 (01:38:21):
Yeah, I mean, I would think if he struggles again,
they they'd have to could they move him to the bullpen, Boy,
that's not what you want. I mean that that would
then take an arm accle adjustment in terms of how
his arm and his practice. I mean, he's started having
a hard enough time adjusting to the to the riggers

(01:38:42):
of being a major league picture and doing it here.
Could you imagine having his role changed? I mean, if
you're gonna fix Emi as long as he's an astroid,
you've got to keep doing it as a start, because
that's what you brought him here for.

Speaker 3 (01:38:56):
And oh, by the way, you got to fill out
your rotation with somebody.

Speaker 2 (01:39:01):
Anything about that?

Speaker 3 (01:39:03):
You mean you're you're throwing Kaiwa Tang out there. And
Lance McCulloch juniors, I mean, who was good his last
time out? He also worked out a troubled second, third, fourth,
and fifth innings. Bike Burrows going through it like you.
Somebody's got to figure this out or they're all just
gonna be on vacation October. And that's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
And does Jim Crane ever have a relationship with Scott
Boris again after this? Yes, he doesn't have a choice. Well,
the relationship is already set with Jose That's that's done.
But does he even oh man, I don't know, don't.
I don't want to go down this show.

Speaker 3 (01:39:47):
If you're gonna ban yourself from all Scott Boris players,
you're never gonna have a really good team.

Speaker 2 (01:39:51):
I mean that's so.

Speaker 3 (01:39:52):
I guess that's up to Jim Grain.

Speaker 12 (01:39:55):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:39:56):
There are a lot of teams that don't have Jim
the Scott Boris clients.

Speaker 3 (01:39:59):
I mean, who's the best team, and I guess we
would have to do some diving on them. Yeah, I'm
gonna guess there's not a contending team that has there's
a very very short list that has zero'scot gor Boris clients.

Speaker 2 (01:40:11):
Maybe the Rays. Yeah, I mean that's probably true. All right.
I will hold off my textan schedule prediction for the
next segment because I got Mason and Day want to
get in. So let's get those folks in. It is
anything goes Friday seven one three, two one, seven ninety.
So what I promise you, I owe you how the
Texans are gonna do in twenty twenty six. We'll do that.
But I want to get the next couple next segment

(01:40:32):
in because we do like to talk with you great folks,
and when you do take the time to call the show.
We want to definitely get you in. I promise to you,
I'll have a complete textan schedule breakdown in about fifteen
minutes here on Sports Talk seven. And he got a
couple of folks that have called in. We want to
get them on the line. Mason and Schulenberg. I love Schudenberg,
good country cooking. Schoenberg is mister Texas country Mason. How

(01:40:55):
the hell are you all right?

Speaker 6 (01:40:57):
Guys?

Speaker 2 (01:40:57):
How are y'all good?

Speaker 10 (01:41:00):
So?

Speaker 16 (01:41:00):
Yeah, I wanted to do it late. I'm sorry because
I'm kind of on y'all stage. I liked the schedule release.
It's something to talk about. But some people go way overboard.
But I'm usually the old man that yells at clouds.
But some of the videos last night that the teams
put out, they're pretty damn funny. I don't know what
your thoughts on, Like the team's doing the whole video, Bitch, what.

Speaker 5 (01:41:21):
Are you saying sorry for?

Speaker 2 (01:41:22):
Then? What's the matter with you? What you got?

Speaker 16 (01:41:25):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I thought it was stupid that
they used to do that, but it was pretty entertaining yesterday.

Speaker 7 (01:41:30):
I liked it.

Speaker 16 (01:41:31):
I like that the teams go out and get creative.
And do the bits like that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:35):
Yeah, I was said that Texans normally have lame ones.
I thought that Brian Cushion think was pretty funny yesterday. Honestly,
Uh this the Los Angeles Chargers are usually the creme
de la creme, and uh, they went, I don't know
if you saw this ross and they went, yeah, six
minutes with their schedule release.

Speaker 3 (01:41:49):
Yeah, it was a Halo related which I know, Matt,
you're an avid Halo.

Speaker 16 (01:41:53):
Fire see me not being a Texans fan. I didn't
think the Texans one was that great because I guess
I don't. I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:42:02):
I'm actually with Mason. I thought it was okay, five out.

Speaker 16 (01:42:07):
But yeah, I thought I thought Atlanta was great. I
love the whole this is Sports Center nod. I thought
Tennessee's was good, simple, kind of a call back to
what they used to do. And I never played Halo,
but yeah, I think the Chargers was pretty good too.

Speaker 2 (01:42:21):
Yeah, the Chargers usually thank you Mason for the phone
coll could do for me. Usuallybody's waiting for them, with
the with the with the Chargers have done year in,
year out.

Speaker 3 (01:42:28):
Yeah, and speaking of which, I think Jonathan's got them
seventeen and no.

Speaker 2 (01:42:34):
Am, I am My boys. Put the Halo three up there.

Speaker 3 (01:42:37):
There you go, Chargers good Chargers fan number one over here?

Speaker 2 (01:42:43):
Do you understand? And I talked to you know, we
had John Ireland on of the Voice of the Lakers.
You know that most people that go to Charger games
aren't Charger fans. Isn't that weird? And that's what makes us,
makes us even cooler?

Speaker 1 (01:42:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:42:56):
Not the bandwagoners. Yes, so you like, they're not new
to this. They're true to this, they probably.

Speaker 2 (01:43:05):
And now go Chargas go. It's gonna be so great
because you can't say you were a charge fan for no.
You got to be with the Herberts. You gonna be
back all the way to Drew Brees. So you don't
mind when you go. When you watch your Chargers on TV,
that's sixty percent of the crowd that they never they
never have a home crowd. Ever, they still win.

Speaker 13 (01:43:25):
I knew when they left San Diego is gonna be
like this, and I still didn't care.

Speaker 3 (01:43:28):
All right, Wow, you gotta give Jonathan his credit. Still
loves his Charges. It is kind of sad that San
Diego doesn't have a football team.

Speaker 5 (01:43:37):
Ross you've been to San Diego before.

Speaker 2 (01:43:38):
Yeah, I love San Diego. San Diego is fantastic.

Speaker 3 (01:43:42):
I mean, I know I'd have to be a billionaire
to retire there, but that would be like one on
the list.

Speaker 2 (01:43:46):
You know how I described San Diego is what people
think La is because La is still full of pollution.

Speaker 3 (01:43:54):
I think people know that though. I think people know
what La is, and it's got a little dirt. But
Allie's got sold. You just gotta find it.

Speaker 2 (01:44:06):
Like dirty.

Speaker 3 (01:44:07):
Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, It's definitely the glitz and glamour
of the the olden days, isn't there the Golden Age?
Hollywood is dead.

Speaker 2 (01:44:16):
But I'll say this, I love I love San Diego.
It's so beautiful. The weather is fantastic, the fish, tacos,
the food is good, gorgeous, unbelievable. Love it. You're thirty
minutes from Tijuana. No, I don't like Tijuana. I did.
I went to Teamwana one time. It was not good.

Speaker 5 (01:44:37):
The Corona beer was cheap.

Speaker 2 (01:44:39):
I gave him that.

Speaker 3 (01:44:40):
I thought it was great. Street tacos. Oh my god,
the Tomali's. This lady, this old lady was selling out

Speaker 3 (01:45:03):
Yeah, that's what everybody is thinking. Oh but thank you, Jonathan.

Speaker 2 (01:45:20):
Yes? I didn't know that. In the southern We're a
good valley, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:45:24):
I thought it was like an old dish they did
the grand the East, like in the fifteen fifties with
the Aztecs.

Speaker 2 (01:45:28):
Next time we go eat, we're gonna eat Tomalleys in
this right now. Okay, I'm gonna crush y'alls dreams. I'm

Speaker 3 (01:46:13):

like the six hundreds.

Speaker 2 (01:46:18):
That's funny.

Speaker 3 (01:46:19):
For the conquista doors gave them all small small box.
I mean, I'm glad the conquistadors gave them small box
because now I'm here, so I appreciate you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:46:26):
But what are we Are we doing? Aztec history?

Speaker 12 (01:46:28):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:46:28):
What is this show? If anything goes Friday?

Speaker 14 (01:46:32):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:46:32):
Sorry, you want to talk about the astros rotation, let's
do that.

Speaker 5 (01:46:35):
Let's talk about Tensu.

Speaker 2 (01:46:36):
You in a rebound Tuesday.

Speaker 11 (01:46:39):
Maybe, Hi, Dave, Hey, what's up? I got something for you.
I'm an old I'm an old, old old man pitching coach.
So I got something for Josh Miller and Joe Joe
can join it too if he wants, because they need
to both be involved in this. What's you're doing, what

(01:47:00):
you're going to do temporarily. I'm not saying it's for
the whole season, but it's a test, only a test.
And here's the deal.

Speaker 10 (01:47:10):
Walk.

Speaker 11 (01:47:10):
You come in as a reliever, you walk one batter
and you're gone. I don't care if you walk your
first batter and you strike out the next two, you're
gone because you walk one. If you're a starter, you
get two walks. As soon as he gets his first walk,
gives up his first walk, I've got somebody in the

(01:47:32):
pen warming up, and you embarrass these people that can't
seem to find the strike zone, that are not bearing down,
that are scared to get hit. You've got no defense
against the walk.

Speaker 2 (01:47:48):
You've got to stop.

Speaker 11 (01:47:50):
This somehow, and so far Josh Miller has done nothing
to even slow it down. And Joe leaves them in
there to walk the bases loaded. If you will get
them out of there, give them their three batters. If
you walk one of those three, you're gone. That keeps
his pitch count down for the week as well. You're
not leaving him out there for thirty pitches. You're getting

(01:48:13):
him out of there and he's ready to go again tomorrow.
That's that's my thought. I'm getting the long pause. Now,
well it's even longer. These guys getting paid a lot
of money. So guy, somebody's got to hold him to count. Okay,

(01:48:39):
I'm just waiting.

Speaker 2 (01:48:45):
Okay, you can, Dave, I'm here. Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:48:47):
Peter Lamber is Peter Lambert through seven innings of shutout
ball against the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (01:48:52):
He walked for.

Speaker 11 (01:48:54):
Yeah, got get rid of him.

Speaker 2 (01:48:56):
You've got to stop it. He threw shut out ball.

Speaker 3 (01:48:59):
He didn't give a sevens to shut out ball, so
you would have pulled him, and he wouldn't have gotten
seven ings to shut up ball.

Speaker 2 (01:49:05):
Also, there's a would pull him.

Speaker 11 (01:49:08):
He needs to learn. He can't walk for guys in
seven innings. Can't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:49:13):
He's he didn't give up a run in seven innings.

Speaker 2 (01:49:15):
Dave, what did you, Dave? You're are you retired or
are you still actively working?

Speaker 11 (01:49:19):
I'm still working. Unfortunately I learned he retired.

Speaker 10 (01:49:23):
But yeah, David, But but.

Speaker 2 (01:49:26):
I mean this, first of all, I want to thank
you for calling the show. It means a lot that
you listen to our show. Okay, it does.

Speaker 11 (01:49:32):
Okay, so just please listen every day.

Speaker 2 (01:49:35):
I thank you very much. But this was a terrible
phone call.

Speaker 11 (01:49:42):
I don't care, Dave.

Speaker 2 (01:49:43):
It was a terrible phone call. It was terrible. You
have you have to Dad, sorry, you have to stay
it some way. I feel like I could see a
certain day.

Speaker 3 (01:49:53):
So never happened in any rotation ever in the history
of Major League Baseball ever. By the way, people minimum,
why do you think nobody's ever tried it? And then
in one hundred and fifty years of baseball, nobody's tried
your brilliant.

Speaker 2 (01:50:06):
Because they're scared.

Speaker 10 (01:50:07):
They're scared.

Speaker 3 (01:50:08):
Okay, so then you need to know that it's not
going to happen this year either.

Speaker 2 (01:50:12):
Oh.

Speaker 11 (01:50:12):
I know it's not going to happen. I'm just throwing
it out as a solution to the problem.

Speaker 3 (01:50:18):
This was not I think they should cut one of
their pinkies off if they walk to guys.

Speaker 2 (01:50:24):
Yeah, yeah, I know, you're right.

Speaker 11 (01:50:25):
It could anyway go jacks hell.

Speaker 5 (01:50:30):
Oh my god, you know what. I've just figured it out.

Speaker 10 (01:50:35):
That is it.

Speaker 2 (01:50:36):
Thank you, Dave. Dave. We love you very much. We
think the call you just had was absolutely mind blowingly bad.
There are people that are listening to this show in
the city of Houston that have lost their minds. They
are they are hitting their head against their steering wheel,

(01:50:56):
they are throwing cyanide against and they're on their eyes
to blind their own eyes. There are people that are
ingesting rat poison because of that last phone call. We
and we gain. We can make sure what prefaces. We
love you, But when you threw the go Jackson there, Jonathan,
it kind of makes sense now, right, I mean, let's
be honest, not another worried about my Jack.

Speaker 13 (01:51:17):
Okay, Jack's family, he's he's got some old oak for
the break.

Speaker 2 (01:51:24):
You, as a member of the Jack's family, talk to
a fellow Jack, tell him how horrific that phone call was.

Speaker 13 (01:51:32):
It's okay, I'll hold him accountable. But you know, he's
in the business. You know, maybe he's just he's just
had enough.

Speaker 2 (01:51:44):
The Texan schedule. No one in the marketplace predicts the
way that I do. That's next here at twelve forty six,
here on Sports Talk seven. Hinty, ladies and gentlemen, you
just hurt one of the worst baseball calls you'll over
here in the history of Houston sports radio.

Speaker 10 (01:52:04):
Sit back.

seven ninety at one o eight. Jerry, Good afternoon to you.

Speaker 7 (02:04:01):
Hey, guys, I just wanted to talk to you about
being a fan for fifty years. There's so many people
run around the city all disappointed and hurt feelings and whatnot.
And just realized that fifty years of being an Astros, Rockets,
Oilers slash Texan Stan it's about one hundred and fifty
seasons with four championships. Get used to it, Embrace it.

(02:04:23):
It's character building. Just kind of get used to being
there and enjoy what right spots we have. And they'll
be so down about it. It happens well in eventually,
maybe someday possibly that's it.

Speaker 2 (02:04:38):
Now, thanks, he took that guy fifty years of fandom
to give us that take. It's gonna get better, or
it's gonna get worse, or it might say the same.

Speaker 5 (02:04:56):
I got one for your Rossie.

Speaker 2 (02:04:58):
There are thirty two cities they play football every year.
Mm hmm. Thirty one are pretty disappointed at the end
of the thirty at the end of the season. Thank you, Matt.
You're welcome. Sports are cruel. Life is hard.

Speaker 5 (02:05:12):
What if we didn't have sports?

Speaker 2 (02:05:13):
What would we do? Opera. You gotta talk to our family. Yeah, pretty.
You know what talking to my family means is Dad,
can I have some money for this? They don't mean
to do it, but they just do it. You could
say no, sometimes you gotta say yes. Like, for instance,

(02:05:37):
my wife and I were in bed last night watching TV.
Uh huh, and I said, hey, let's go away for
a couple of days. And we were talking about the
money we've spent so far and already thing. I said,
let's let's keep it on the cheap but enjoyable.

Speaker 3 (02:05:48):
We said, Galveston, there you go, nice, nice little quick getaway.

Speaker 2 (02:05:53):
So it costs money, though it's not it's not that cheap.
Really no, it's not. We're gonna eat well, it's good.

Speaker 3 (02:06:00):
You stay in the house, get a hotel, get a hotel.

Speaker 2 (02:06:04):
That's good. We're not checking pennant races. Do you notice
something too about the show? I'm not even checking standings anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:06:16):
That is crazy. That tells you how much the shows
have fallen. If you're not checking d fourth.

Speaker 2 (02:06:22):
Place, there's six out, but I don't check it out
on the regular. Yeah. I was checking standings up the
first week of the season after they went to open
the air. That nice home stand that felt good. And
then what happened?

Speaker 10 (02:06:36):
You know?

Speaker 2 (02:06:37):
Uh, Jonathan, do me a favor. I want you to
go to our audio. There is a sound by at
the very top concerning a former Astro manager. I want
to play it for you and I want you to
hear this. We play the morning show played. I want
to worthy you're playing here.

Speaker 15 (02:06:51):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:06:52):
The ex players and ex managers like to go on
the podcast beat. You ever notice that Rossie talk to
you while they're currently talking at leads currently inactionable when
they retired. They have loose lips. Got it when you
want it?

Speaker 1 (02:07:06):
So?

Speaker 2 (02:07:07):
D Baker went on a podcast and he was talking
about running the Astros and obviously managed the team of
the twenty twenty two Major League World Series Championship and
he said, the hardest part about things was that one
of its players was wearing it for what happened in

(02:07:28):
previous Astros teams.

Speaker 18 (02:07:29):
And here's Dusty Baker to explain. We got some gremlins.
Hold on, I could try ulous, Okay, let me try,
let me try.

Speaker 2 (02:07:45):
I got there.

Speaker 19 (02:07:46):
One of the best things that happened to me when
I got there was the fact that we had COVID
and we didn't have to deal with the with the
fans and the.

Speaker 2 (02:07:55):
Booing and the jeers and just get back to baseball. Yeah.

Speaker 19 (02:07:59):
And then you know, the guy that took the brunt
of it was was really, you know, Josel Tov And
he was the most innocent dude there and uh you
know that that, you know, really affected me. How how
he was treated, Yeah, I mean all over everywhere, and
he didn't deserve it.

Speaker 2 (02:08:24):
I'm just gonna say this, I really, really, really with
all my heart, and I don't have complete evidence of this. No,
I mean, nobody unless people that are intimately involved in
the Astros with the door closed, but Ross, can you
find anybody that has ever said that Josel tb was

(02:08:47):
involved in any of the easy legal activities? No, he
didn't he knew, wasn't.

Speaker 3 (02:08:51):
It's been widely reported, Ken Rosenthal, I mean Dusty said
it did. I mean anybody who wants to take five
seconds to look it up.

Speaker 2 (02:08:58):
So I want to know why in twenty twenty six,
we're talking about almost ten years since that went down,
and that everybody from other teams to managers, to other people,
to baseball executives to people that do have the inside,

(02:09:19):
have never said anything about Jose to Altuve. Are you
telling me because the stupid buzzer thing that Jose al
tub is gonna have to wear this the rest of
his professional career because I know the answers. Yes, yes,
people are stupid. People are incredibly stupid. Now, Please, Jose

(02:09:44):
if you did something wrong, which I don't believe that
you did, don't go on a podcast five years later
and tell.

Speaker 3 (02:09:50):
Us he's not going to he didn't do it's it's
it's fine, But isn't it crazy?

Speaker 2 (02:09:57):
However that I you know, I don't know if you
can never notice it when you're watching a TV broadcast,
but on the radio side, I can definitely hear it.
And yeah, even the mundane Midwest Cleveland White Sox, Baltimore
who gives a crap Cities.

Speaker 3 (02:10:17):
He's getting booed in Sacramento. Yeah, there's a guy in
Cleveland wearing him out. Remember like Cleveland, what Cleveland, Ohio?
Like Dodgers fans. Let I get it, Yankees fans, I
get it. That's about it. Maybe Mariners, I mean, but

(02:10:37):
maybe Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (02:10:38):
Did you mention Yankees? Did you say yes? I did? Yeah?
Uh a Sacramento. You know, Sacramento doesn't get a right
to say anything. No, they're bootam uh it is. And
and I didn't need Dusty to do that. I just

(02:10:58):
happened to hear the sound bite. It was just I
wanted to play it. But is there anything else in sports?
And I'm sure do we know you can probably say, well,
mad Joe mix, it didn't get shot in the foot, Okay, okay, yeah, no,
I'm doing that with ninety percent.

Speaker 3 (02:11:16):
You still try to bring up that Michael Jordan got
told to be suspended by David Stern, and though there's
zero evidence to back that up, but.

Speaker 2 (02:11:28):
I really believe that. I know. I don't think the
person yelling in Cleveland believed that Josel too was or
maybe he doesn't. Yeah he does, of course he does so,
are you okay, so let me put let me put
it this way. Are you are we gonna put the
jose al Tuo Bay cheated on par with Michael Jordan

(02:11:50):
was told by commissioners trying to take a year off.
And oh, by the way, Patrick Ewing and the frozen
envelopes with the knicks and the lottery many many years ago,
back in eighty five.

Speaker 3 (02:11:58):
I mean, maybe that happened, but I definitely don't think
he was. I don't think the most popular player in
the sport was told to go away for a year
by the commission.

Speaker 2 (02:12:05):
Okay, then you know what I'm gonna do. Then I
will never utter it again because I don't want to
be hypocritical if I'm the one if now nothing I'm
pushing the agenda. I mean, others are saying it to
its much just me, but I will. I will no
longer utter that. I believe that David Stern told Michael
Jordan take a year off. Okay, we'll see. You're gonna

(02:12:32):
call me out when I do it. Can't wait? No, now,
am I gonna do it? Okay? You know I haven't
done today ahead, and by the way, what's that C

Oh man, nothing much. I'm actually out here in California
about to be on my way to a big Baller
brand store so I can get beat up with lebar
and give me some nice shirts.

Speaker 6 (02:13:55):
Man.

Speaker 15 (02:13:55):
But uh, first, before I get to the main thing,
you know, James, And I'm going to ask you if
I'm sitting at home, Me and my little brother were
at home and I watch him steal some cookies and
I say nothing, Am I innocent?

Speaker 2 (02:14:12):
Uh? Where's he still the cookies?

Speaker 10 (02:14:14):
From?

Speaker 15 (02:14:16):
From from anywhere? I just see him still cookies. I
see him still cookies. Are he's still in from the parents.
He doesn't steal, he checks cookies from from the cookie
from the pantry. My mom said, don't get cookies and
he gets caught. Am I also involved in that?

Speaker 11 (02:14:31):
Right?

Speaker 10 (02:14:31):
I'm not innocent. What I'm saying.

Speaker 15 (02:14:32):
Is L two by is like Baker said, he's the
most innocent, right, but he is not innocent. So we
can't say al two by knew nothing about nothing and
he didn't. You know, he's not an innocent guy. So
you know L two Bay innocent? That's not right, you know,
But we won in LA without the drums and all that,

(02:14:53):
so it really doesn't matter.

Speaker 10 (02:14:55):
But ol Twovey isn't innocent.

Speaker 15 (02:14:56):
Now let's get to James Harden who last week Ross
was saying that he needed to retire, right what was
hating on him?

Speaker 10 (02:15:05):
Saying? Yeah, yea, yeah, maybe it was mad.

Speaker 2 (02:15:07):
Somebody was hated retire. Matter of fact, I said, just
the opposite is, there's nothing closer to retiring.

Speaker 15 (02:15:14):
James turn Last week when he was thinking it up
and he had more turnovers than.

Speaker 2 (02:15:18):
Shots, nobody ran your retirement. You're listening to radio show.

Speaker 10 (02:15:22):
No, no, this only show I listened to.

Speaker 2 (02:15:24):
Well that, thank you for that. We didn't suggest retirement.

Speaker 7 (02:15:27):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:15:27):
Well, here's the thing. I know what you're gonna do. Well,
and you're gonna say, well, he bought out. Yeah, game three,
No matter, bro, it's game seven. It's games, the most
important games. James Harden's final games of playoffs have been
an unmitigated disaster. It's not me writing the storyline. It's
James's box scores writing storyline. And you know that.

Speaker 10 (02:15:46):
Okay, So okay, yeah, I got you. But y'all said
he was done.

Speaker 15 (02:15:49):
Now, I mean, come on, we can we I know
what y'all were saying last yek ya, last week. You
were hating all him, saying this over. He does this
all the time.

Speaker 2 (02:15:57):
He does it all the time. I did say that.

Speaker 15 (02:16:00):
Three games he balled. He balled three games in a row,
right ball You know what I'm saying, three games in
a row now, oh what.

Speaker 2 (02:16:07):
Go Look at his last He was the first one
criticizing how poorly he played in the winning other night,
he turned them all over, couldn't shoot the three? Were
that miss free throws? Today?

Speaker 10 (02:16:16):
I mean yeah, the other day the game game.

Speaker 15 (02:16:18):
Yeah yeah, But he also his star was only had
ten points.

Speaker 10 (02:16:23):
He bawled. If you scored thirty points in the league,
you balled.

Speaker 5 (02:16:26):
I don't time twenty seven shots or whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (02:16:29):
That's called chuck him. He was not called one.

Speaker 3 (02:16:32):
He was good at the free throw line. Eight of
twenty one.

Speaker 15 (02:16:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he didn't shoot twenty seven. Nice try though,
but hey.

Speaker 2 (02:16:38):
I'm sorry, eight to twenty one. I'd be bragging about that.
Will you come on?

Speaker 1 (02:16:42):
Now?

Speaker 2 (02:16:42):
You know better than that?

Speaker 15 (02:16:43):
Thirty points? Thirty points? But but also okay, now Ross
said today because I also listened, I've been listening all day.
Thinks that he can't change the narrative, right, that thirty
seven year old. He can't change nervous. What if he wins?
What if he balls tonight, it's.

Speaker 3 (02:16:59):
Not gonna happen. Well, he could bowl tonight, but they're
not winning the championship.

Speaker 2 (02:17:03):
He could.

Speaker 3 (02:17:05):
No, I don't I don't think he's changing the long
term there. Literally winning a championship would change it. But
I just don't think that's gonna happen in Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (02:17:12):
Do you think it is?

Speaker 15 (02:17:14):
No, No, no, no, I don't think he's gonna win
the championship. But holding in big games is what his
thing is. He might not ever win the championship.

Speaker 10 (02:17:20):
I mean it, he's had a lot.

Speaker 3 (02:17:22):
Well, I don't know why you're coming at me like
I've been defending and saying he's got like eleven forty
point games in the playoffs, and I've been saying I
think that he is. The narrative is a little bit
a tip against his favor, that he's been better in
the playoffs than people think or realize.

Speaker 2 (02:17:37):
I've said that. No, I'm gonna say what I'm well,
I'm gonna give you I'm gonna give you my blanket statement, Okay,
and then you can go back. I like James Harden. Yeah,
it was a pleasure to call his basketball games. He
is one of the greatest regular season players, one of
the greatest regular season scorers I've ever seen in my
entire life play in his basketball and he has had
some playoffs success, but there are too many and you

(02:18:00):
you aren't and you are. When you want to be
one of the all time great great greats, you gotta
be known for the biggest moments. And unfortunately James Harden
either does not succeed or hides in the biggest moments
of an NBA games, NBA career. That is that is indisputable.
It is indisputable.

Speaker 10 (02:18:17):
It is no I give you that.

Speaker 2 (02:18:19):
Okay, That's all I got.

Speaker 15 (02:18:20):
He has he he has fuck it up when it's
time to win.

Speaker 2 (02:18:24):
But he's a baller.

Speaker 15 (02:18:26):
He's the second best Houston Rocket of all time. And
we just can't talk down on that's all. I just
don't want us to just talk down on him all
the time. It seems like we talked down on him.
Just he gave us some of our greatest years as
as Rockets Fance. We didn't win, and I know you
say you don't like Hope, but at least we you know,
we had something. So I just defend James Harden because

(02:18:47):
besides the keem Olajawan, he was the man.

Speaker 2 (02:18:51):
Hey. I like James Harden. I'm never you will not.
I thank you Mili Nilah Willer for the phone call.
Safe travels up there. I mean, look, it's an entire look.
Jeff Bagwe Kraig Bigie were two of my favorite all
time astros. But if you're going to write the story,
part of the story is the October failures. That's to me,

(02:19:15):
in my own definition self definition of the greatest aster
of all time. Postseason is a huge part of the equation.
And that's why jose L Tube tips the chart over
bag One Bigio because of what he was able to
do for the team in October. I mean again, nobody's
got their own rules, and if James Harden leads Cleveland
to a championship, the narrative Rossi one can absolutely change.

(02:19:38):
That's the incredible thing about sports. John Elway one of
my favorite quarterbacks growing up as a kid Rossie. Until
he won his last two he was known as a
playoff choker. He won, the narrative changed on John Elway
can change.

Speaker 3 (02:19:53):
Just because there's some big national narrative doesn't mean it's
right and doesn't mean it's correct. Like same thing we
were just talking about Jose al Tuve. The big national
narrative is he's a cheater, and he cheated the game
and he besmirched the game of baseball.

Speaker 2 (02:20:03):
And that doesn't make it right.

Speaker 3 (02:20:05):
Just because everybody says James Harden is a playoff choker
and that's all he does, that doesn't make it correct.

Speaker 2 (02:20:10):
I don't think he's a playoff koker. He's a playoff
You've used the word playoff choker this week. Okay, you
know what, I'll say it again. I'll make sure I'm
very clear. In the biggest playoff games, I'm sorry. Game
three does not end A does not define a career.
A Game six of game seven A winning when you
need your guy the most, that defines a player, and
James Harden can't do it, has not done it before.

(02:20:33):
I mean, if I need to go get his last five,
Game six is of game sevens I'm.

Speaker 3 (02:20:38):
Game two in Game three and four of the playoffs
are the same thing. I mean, that's just a moving
of a goal post. In my opinion, I think just
because he's had a.

Speaker 2 (02:20:44):
Bigger I think when it's when it's when you're a knockdown,
drag out three to three, you need your superstar to
play in that game seven and if games and of
course you need it. Yeah, he goes to the hines.
That's not a narrative. That's not a narrative. That's I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:20:58):
We had to pull up every single game Game seven
box score of his I don't even know how many
how many game sasans he even played in?

Speaker 4 (02:21:05):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (02:21:05):
Well, he had what a game he had won last
year with the Clippers and was it was a complete
no show? Was against Denver? Right? I think that's what
it was.

Speaker 3 (02:21:12):
And I don't recall. I'm asking.

Speaker 2 (02:21:15):
Just does James, Just does James have any remarkable last
playoff games for the Rockets? Did he.

Speaker 3 (02:21:24):
Closed the Game seven against Oklahoma City?

Speaker 2 (02:21:26):
In the bubble?

Speaker 3 (02:21:28):
You said Game seven? No, I'm bringing it up.

Speaker 2 (02:21:29):
He closed. I'm saying, so he did the Rockets lose
a game and James Harden played unbelievably well and and
one and played so well that the Rockets could have won.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:21:40):
I'm not here to answer every question you pose, so
you can bring it up.

Speaker 2 (02:21:43):
I'm bringing up I'm telling you James Harden is not
a Game seven player.

Speaker 3 (02:21:47):
I don't think I can argue that Game seven of
Oklahoma City he assisted or scored a lot of their
last points and he got a big block against.

Speaker 2 (02:21:53):
Lou Dort and they won that game one out of twenty. Okay,
so there you go. You said none and I brought
you one. So okay, there you go. You got the one.
You got one. Everybody James hard nobody remembers that.

Speaker 3 (02:22:03):
So you're doing like I said, you're changing the narrative.
Everybody cares about who is out there the narrative.

Speaker 2 (02:22:09):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (02:22:09):
I'm just saying it's not as bad as as people
try to say. I'm on with Willa that he has
if if he was a complete playoff choker, he wouldn't
have eleven play forty point games in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (02:22:21):
What I'm saying, in the biggest moments, James can't has
not come through. Has he had eleven forty four games?
That is you know what that is?

Speaker 5 (02:22:28):
That's pretty good, beautable. You cannot argue that at all.

Speaker 2 (02:22:31):
I wouldn't. But in the biggest moments for James, Harden's
are not in the same Conversation's James the big moments
in the same conversation.

Speaker 3 (02:22:39):
He's got twelve will people try to complain about Lebron
James and he's a playoff choker too because he's because
he lost six NBA finals.

Speaker 2 (02:22:46):
You can always move the goal post somewhere.

Speaker 3 (02:22:48):
Oh, he lost six finals.

Speaker 2 (02:22:49):
Lebron James is terrible. People try to say that Lebron's
got wings.

Speaker 3 (02:22:52):
Lebron's got of course, and nobody said James Harden is
good to Lebron James. I don't think a single person
on the planet would say that.

Speaker 2 (02:23:00):
But so, yes, James has been trying to We'll just
trying to tell me that Ron James, that that James
Harden is an elite playoff basketball player. He's I don't
think Willis said that either. Oh, I think I think
he I think people were listening going I think I
think willis trying to overly defend James.

Speaker 3 (02:23:14):
He is going too far defending James because James Harden did.
James Harden is a great player and an all time
great in a Hall of Famer.

Speaker 13 (02:23:21):
Matt, you also have to put in the account the
teams that all these other greats were on, and James
Harden had what CP.

Speaker 3 (02:23:29):
Three for well not even a year, and then the
nineteen they lost in the second round to the Warriors is.

Speaker 13 (02:23:35):
By Island, by himself in Houston doing all this by
he didn't have no Chris Boss.

Speaker 2 (02:23:39):
He had Dwight.

Speaker 3 (02:23:40):
Yeah, he had Dwight Howard, they had Chris Paul, but
they also went up against the all time great dynasty
and the Golden State Warriors. To me, James Harden in
his peak, they ran up against the Warriors. They weren't
good enough.

Speaker 2 (02:23:49):
That's that.

Speaker 3 (02:23:50):
I mean, we can go down the list. You know,
the Indiana Pacers ran up against the uh what, the
Chicago Bulls and the Knicks and whoever else. Like, they
had some good runs in the but they just weren't
good enough. It's kind of similar to to maybe something
like that.

Speaker 2 (02:24:08):
Or super Late. I'm sorry, I just guys, I just
I don't when I think of Clutch Game seven, I'm
gonna win. He's gonna James has not come to mind
for that matter. He ain't the only one. Donovan Mitchell
same spot right now with Cleveland Dond Mitchell's got a
lot to fight for in this thing too. I'm not
trying to make James hit on an island by himself

(02:24:29):
on this. Yeah, but I I just don't. I don't
think anybody now, your narratives are one thing, and you
can disn't necessarily because the national says, I'm I happen
to agree with a but I don't have Hosale Tuobay
is speculative.

Speaker 1 (02:24:44):
I have.

Speaker 2 (02:24:44):
I have four b the last four Game sevens he
has played James harden has. He's lost in all four
of them. Doesn't mean it's his fault exclusively. But I
can go look up at his last game seven for
the Nets, last Game seven for the Sixers, last game
seven for the Clippers, and I probably can give you
some good numbers to back up the fact that this
guy is not a Game seven guy. And maybe I

(02:25:05):
should have Maybe I should darrow my scope of what
I want to describe James Harden as.

Speaker 20 (02:25:12):
Re find interesting stories that cure outside the state of
Florida and share them with the people abused.

there's no.

Speaker 2 (02:26:15):
Bross. Did you ever do stupid things when you're eighteen
years old? I do stupid things and I'm forty one.
All right, Well, I'm gonna tell you what a French
teen did at eighteen.

Speaker 5 (02:26:25):
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysias.

Speaker 2 (02:26:27):
This is the dateline on this. A French teen is
facing mischief and public nuanced charges in Singapore after posting
a video on social media. What did this person, the
young man do? He licked a straw from an orange
juice vending machine and then put it back. What did

(02:26:52):
their gaspod and Magi million eighteen years old charges late
April and has An entered a plea. According to the
Straits Times, he allegedly committed the offense at a shopping
mall on March to twelfth, and his video spread rapidly
when it's surfaced. Apparently there were five hundred straws in

(02:27:17):
the machine and the company had to go to the machine,
take them all out and then re sanitize them. These
kids today apparently want to do gross things and put
them on their social media to get.

Speaker 5 (02:27:32):
Ig follow numbers up.

Speaker 2 (02:27:35):
Mischief following a potential two years in prison or a
fine or both, public nuances less severe with up to
three months in a profine or both. And if you
want to look at the video, knock yourself out. But again,
if you're going to go get a straw from a dispensary,
just from an orange juice dispenser to take one straw,

(02:27:56):
use it and move along. Don't put it back.

Speaker 3 (02:28:02):
That's cool, that's that's disgusting, licking.

Speaker 2 (02:28:05):
A straw from an orange juice vending machine and then
putting it back. I mean, crow up. Uh. That's Singapore
for you, the Singapore for you. I had nickel for
every time I heard that on this show, that they
ever not they cut their hands off if you get caught.
I don't.

Speaker 3 (02:28:23):
I don't know if that's true anymore. So where was
that there was the big story about the guy getting cane?
Was that in Singapore too? Back in the day, like
way back in the day.

Speaker 2 (02:28:36):
Way back in the day. I don't know, I'm what, Yeah,
I don't, I don't have I don't even know where
that's from. But yeah, I was saying about cannie. Doesn't
didn't Adrian Peterson in trouble for that too.

Speaker 3 (02:28:54):
I believe, Yeah, he was hitting his child with a
switch and I believe it was like a three year
old and he.

Speaker 2 (02:29:00):
Because skin, I thought, or something like that.

Speaker 5 (02:29:02):
Is that kid now in high school?

Speaker 2 (02:29:03):
I think, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (02:29:04):
I think it's highly being highly recruited for high school football.

Speaker 2 (02:29:06):
I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 3 (02:29:07):
If you're Adrian Peterson's son, you've probably got a good shot.

Speaker 2 (02:29:10):
You better say sorry son. All right, Ross, what do
you got this week?

Speaker 3 (02:29:15):
Well, Matthew, did you see this story out of Atlanta
with your friends over at Weamo?

Speaker 2 (02:29:24):
I did.

Speaker 3 (02:29:24):
Actually, wamo's self driving cars can be seen, of course
all over the Atlanta streets, but unfortunately in Atlanta neighborhood
right now, residents say dozens of Waimo cars end up
circling their cul de sac.

Speaker 2 (02:29:41):
Channel two.

Speaker 3 (02:29:42):
This is from at WSBTV in Atlanta reporting it's almost
every little cul de sac in our area. So I
think it's a problem, said a neighbor living in the
neighborhood where the cul de sacs unfortunately are being circled
by wamos. I think yesterday morning we had fifty calls
or is it came through between six and seven. Residents

(02:30:06):
say they started seeing the autonomous driverless cars about two
months ago, but the groups and large numbers of waymos
circling in and out has started to grow in the
last couple of weeks. Neighbors have been sharing videos with
Channel to Action News as apparently one one resident put

(02:30:26):
a sign up to block the waymos from entering the
cul de sac. What's going on these waymos? I'm scared?

Speaker 2 (02:30:35):
Can I be serious for one second?

Speaker 3 (02:30:38):
They're empty and not picking up anyone.

Speaker 2 (02:30:41):
We're We're gonna get a story about a bad accident
current we I mean, I think the waymos have been
getting in some accent.

Speaker 3 (02:30:48):
I think the numbers are, of course lesser than humans.
But I've seen them going in the wrong way in Austin.
I think recently there was the one in Houston where
there were both two waymos were like nosed in. They
just kept on back backing up and going forward and
backing up and going forward.

Speaker 2 (02:31:03):
Like an anchorman, and they were fighting with the Channel
four Action news team. Yeah uh yeah, I did weimo once.
I'm I'm probably pretty satisfied. Rossie. I don't think I'm done.
I don't think I need to do anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:31:17):
Yeah uh, I'm gonna support our local labor force and
I will not be using weymo. I will be ubering
and lifting and tipping my driver.

Speaker 2 (02:31:29):
Oh way, I forgot to tell you yesterday I went
to go get a drink at the rest at the
deli at our hot and our build on our building
and the tab the tip thing was left available again. Hmmm,
what did I put? You know what I put down?

Speaker 7 (02:31:46):
What?

Speaker 2 (02:31:47):
Zero? It's not surprising. I don't want to spend somebody
else's money, That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (02:31:56):
That's fine I gave. I gave a dollar. Apparently it's
a you're still upset about it. No, I'm out of said.
I'm just saying I just I forgot to tell you
what happened to me yesterday. I guess that that appened
makes you forget about that step pretty quick. You're gonna hurry,
don't have time to do that.

Speaker 2 (02:32:15):
Yeah, I guess people. People are in a rush. All right,
johny what do you got this week?

Speaker 6 (02:32:21):
Uh?

Speaker 13 (02:32:22):
One man has attempted to become the first man in
the world to pull a car along along with his manhood.

Speaker 2 (02:32:28):
Oh Jesus. Being on fire as well.

Speaker 13 (02:32:32):
John Stephenson fifty was set a light before he yanked
the French police car, which weighed two tons and around
one hundred and thirty one feet, along the residential streets
using his genitalia. While being on fire, he attached the
toe rope to his manhood before pulling.

Speaker 2 (02:32:51):
This French car. Don't know the name of it. Excuse me, but.

Speaker 13 (02:32:55):
Yeah, it's a dad a three and said he wanted
to wear a h rays of weariness on prostate cancer
and bullying in schools.

Speaker 2 (02:33:06):
It does beg the question, what if each of you
pulled with your testicles lately? You would want to know? Huh,
I don't think that is annoy answer West, answer nothing. Yeah,
I don't think I've ever put anything around my testicles. Correct,

(02:33:29):
you had actually used to pull something like a levee
string rope. They're not that strong. I mean they're I
mean they're strong. We're not that strong, yours?

Speaker 3 (02:33:44):
In my mind?

Speaker 2 (02:33:47):
People want to play back that call we had earlier
today from the guy that wants to pull the picture
after one walk. We should wish to actually collect some
calls once in a while.

Speaker 5 (02:33:59):
