Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I do miss you when I'm gone, you know, may
not believe that. And I'll be with you for the
foreseeable future. I mean, I hopefully the next ten years. Fifteen,
I mean and let's me brother, Look, we can get
you retired now, that would put us at an even thirty.
You don't want that. You're going to make me cry
on air this segment. I did do that. And when

(00:22):
we talk about fifteen, we talked about for Jonathan's case,
fifteen months. That's how the average producer last show. So
let me look at the job. Whatever, Jonathan, you find
your next job, we wish you know to be the
very best. Thank you all right. It is a Friday
edition of The Bat Toby Show with Ross. Thank you
for taking care of the show yesterday in Pittsburgh. Do
you really want that? Why don't you go to that

(00:42):
loser sports radio convention Chicago gets you a job? Well,
I would love to. I'm busy, though. Yeah, I'll get
you a flat up there. You will, all right, I'll go.
You can go tell that programmer he's full of crap
and doesn't with the hell he's doing. All he does
is destroy. It was an opening in Chicago. Oh yeah,
that guy filled my former friend actually current to the show,
Leila RAHEMI got to the midday spot there. Congratulations to her.

(01:04):
Yeah all right, h So yesterday I was at my
son's graduation at the Texas A and M University. How to go?
It was? Did you do a lot of whooping? Well,
I mean did they solve varses horns off? Of course
at the very end. That's great? Do you know? Okay?

(01:24):
Rit arena seats thirteen thousand people, and obviously there's a
few court side seats that were in there because there
was no court You weren't courtside, Matt, No, I wasn't.
But I'm going to assume the concourse itself the seats
and the chair backs are probably twelve thousand. Okay, there
were twelve thousand people in the stands. That's great. Now
for free Now I didn't. It's true. They sell concessions,

(01:46):
all right, absolutely, and I we got waters. You could
have gotten beer, pretzels, hot dogs. I've never seen of
a beer being sold in under graduation. Get it to
get a dog in a pretzel for the graduation. It's
gonna be a while. So they get to tea for Thomas. Well,
we should have done that because the guy and the
president of the school said this yesterday. They had three
ceremonies on Thursday, three today and three more on Saturday.

(02:10):
That's nine graduations. When the dust settles, there will be
nine thousand undergrad graduations and an additional four thousand postgrad
So we're talking about thirteen thousand aggies now either have
degrees or extended degrees, doctorate's, you know, masters, whatever. That

(02:34):
is incredible. Yeah, they really up the acceptance rate. It's
a huge school and not except they actually dropped it
like everybody else does. Let mean, brother, let me tell you,
I can take you from any easy to get a
look at the enrollment over the last ten years. For
it's caesar to get an inn in the Texas, they
only guarantee they used to do guaranteed top ten percent.
They only guaranteed top seven. So they may they may

(02:56):
have an open group of more people. But has the
enrollment like gone massive the last ten years. That's the
point is it has gone massive. But could you imagine
twenty four was seventy eight thousand. Wow. Ten years ago
was sixty four thousand. Ten years before that was forty
four thousand. There's like six hundred apartment complexes going on,

(03:16):
but it's almost doubled in twenty years. It's crazy. It
is crazy and it and again it's not easy to
get into the there were there, it's there's still very
those those are two of the hardes schools get in
the country. Much less of state. Uh, this is sixty
three percent get into A and M. That's not great
compared to other places. I mean, what is Texas State
ninety nine point nine? Oh yeah, that's yeah, that's different

(03:39):
Texas State the existed. Let you get in. Yeah, like
come on, say put the cut the check. You're in
eighty nine percent for Texas State. Whoa, I mean that's
that's rather high. Mm hmm. I'm we're not trying to
to downgrade Texas State, but just thro an example. I mean, yeah,
proud what are they podcasts? And let me take them.
I've done once a round around Texas State. It's an

(04:00):
I'm huh huh makes it's so good you want to
do go twice around M. But we move on being
at a one of the graduation ceremonies. Oh, they did
add a school of law. Maybe that added it added
things in. Can you've hed that a medical school. I mean,
these these are just getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Uh,
my son's tea isn't Thomas and he was in a history,

(04:21):
so it it rossy. It took about six pages to
get to him mm hm, and they were like three
or four pages after him. Can you just walk out
when they call his man? That's rude? Why? Well, the
kids can't do it. You're not gonna You're not gonna
leave the graduation without your son or your daughter. What
a fulfilling experience. You get the binoculars out and watch
your son walk across the stage. Was on the jumbo

(04:42):
trond Oh that's the local PBS station. Huh was there
a kiss cam? There was not a kiss cam. There
was definitely aggie cam. Okay, they everybody put their jagged
thumbs up. I don't they're jacket they're just regular thumbs. Uh.
We're gonna get to sports, I promise, I swear, But
you know, this is our life here.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
The local PBS station televises the graduations for what just
to do it? Local PBO. They're bored. Well, I mean
it's yeah, they're cutting a lot of funding. I guess
Ryan colsstation I mean, how many episodes of Assessment Feak
can you brought? I think they got all the funding cut.
So yeah, it's I believe it's called K T m U.
I think it's what it is. Yeah, I think Charlie
Horse was on the commentary. Oh, they don't do commentary

(05:21):
of that. Imagine they didn't have Dave south of Dooty like,
oh I butchered all these names. Oh that was John Raylard. No,
that was actually Christine Jones. Oh, little poor kids. Hey,
come on, we'll take shots of the guy. He retired
for like he's been, he's done great, he's got a great,
long career. All right, let's move on. Point being is
this graduations are extraorninally along at the high school level.

(05:43):
They're double the length of the old college level. Mm hmm.
But you wait and you see him turn his ring,
and you see them do their solve varsities, horns off,
and you get a couple. There was no scream. Did
they tell you not to scream for the for the
individual names, y'all? Did it? Okay? Did you say you screamed?
Did you score? Quick man? You're like, yell, you didn't go.

(06:04):
I didn't go, like I didn't say pity or anything
like that. No, I just said, yeah, Peyton, that's all
I said. He didn't hear because nobody can hear the
doubt that's down the floor of the reader reading. You
get the big booming pipes. What's up? Well, I didn't
want to be there let it ring out. I don't
want to let it sing, Maddie. So needles say, a

(06:25):
great day to have my second of my three children
finished the college. Wonderful one down, baby. This one's gonna
cost me nothing. So I'm very happy about this one
and can cost you something. It's already costs you. Yeah,
it's gonna give me the volleyball cost me and then
flights up there. Sorry, I can't wait for the mat
from Providence or whatever. It's gonna be two years. Yeah,

(06:45):
that's right. You get two years of that before, but
you'll be gone. You'll be in lovick by that doing
this week this week in read Rider of Football. I
mean if it's hopefully they email me back, that's right.
You keep trying, keep trying to get those jobs in
like Aberkerk, and they never call you back. I'm ready
to talk, I am, I'm ready to talk some Isotopes
baseball and love blow basketball. Yeah, all right, it is
and anything goes Friday. If you've not figured that out

(07:07):
so far today, Uh, and look there was there was
nothing in the local sports team correct. Astros were off.
They did get a win on Wednesday in the day game, Yes,
where Frober was good von Fromber? Yes. Do you understand
how aggravating it is that we have to spend time
talking about good Frober versus bad Fromber? It is? We
talked about that with Brian McTaggart yesterday on the show,
especially because I spent all off season defending him, Like, no,

(07:29):
there's no good and bad Frommer. He just has the
occasional blow up, but he's remarkably consistent. And then this
year he's been up and down basically every start. So
thanks well, Glad, I spent all this time defending you.
The same thing with Jayalen Green, Glad, I spent all
this time defending you, Jalen. Really great job, buddy. The
reality on Frobber is this is that this will not
be a conversation piece a year from now. I put

(07:52):
the chances of the Astros resigning Fromber at zero percent. Okay,
I will say point one po if you ever say,
if it happens, let me be like, man, I really
missed the bone on this. But every indication I have received,
both in what has been said publicly and maybe behind
the scenes whispers, the whispering in the wind, that he gone,
I mean when you don't even have a conversation with

(08:14):
him yet. Yeah, I mean yeah. Also much reading content
since also tells you that he's gone. They haven't. They
didn't even bought it to re engage. Yeah. Now I
would like for them to be significantly more aggressive with
Hunter Brown. They have been so far. Sounds like that's
been not been talked about much, but that that will
eventually pick And Scotty Boris says, we'll talktilator. Who do
you think calls him Scotty? Do you think his wife

(08:35):
calls him Scotty? I think his best friend of the
golf course when he was seven. Well, there's like Scotty
Scheffler is an adult. Scottie Pippen. Scottie Pippen is a
good one. Yeah, Scotty Pip Junior, Scotty Barnes, Yes, Toronto
Blue Jay, I mean Scotty wraps Scotty from Star Trek's
beating everyone up. That's nineteen sixty six. Okay, he exists,

(08:57):
Oh does he?

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well?

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I guess he's a fictional character or is he dead?
But that's appoint the character. I may he rest any
other Scotties we're forgeting about. Yeah, I'm sure. M Scotty
Skyles Scott. He was called Scotty in college. Wuldn't he
a little bit? But he got you grew up? Here
we go, Scotti, Cameron, that's the putt he makes the putters,
Scottie Pippen Junior. I mentioned that. Memphilus only said, did

(09:21):
you say Pippin? You didn't sa Junior did?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
I absolutely did. Yeah, Okay, good Scotty McCreery. He is
an American singer. I don't know that. I don't know
that guy. Nope, all right, so let's move on. We will.
We will give you more Scotti's as the show progresses.
Are there any a program that it will feature? Nobody's
gonna give you more Scotty talk than us. No, I mean,
we can give you back up off defensive line for
the Texans if you want. We're all We're all for that. Yeah,

(09:44):
we can talk about say anything Go Friddie on the
program Anything Goes seven one three two, one two five
seven ninety seven one three, two, one two five seven
nine zero. There was Scotty Alcock played in Major League
Baseball win nineteen fourteen. What was his ops? Let's see
what is dead ball eramats? You gotta give him a break.
So there's no ops plush ops plus absolutely there is

(10:07):
thirty two. So he's like an annim evort of his day. Yeah, hey,
it wasn't that bad, all right, eleven thirty. Today, we're
gonna give you an opportunity for a one half hour
on this radio show to say you're sorry to people.
And I've got some people I gotta say sorry too
from yesterday's events in the collegiation. Mmm. Okay, so we'll
have that for you today. We've got the news new
OI the strippers up there. We also have non Florida stories.

(10:30):
I have been given two gems of non Florida stories
from my Non Florida story research department, so we're reading
those off today. And we were gonna do the Bob
Seeker Helly air not from the other day, but we
ran out of time because of the Rockets press conference.
We got a new helly are not the new pope?
Is he either gonna be the coolest pope in the
history of popes? Why? Well, he's first of all, he's

(10:52):
not ninety. That's number one. Yeah. Number two he's from Chicago,
Benedicta six was pretty cool. Number three he's a number four.
We went he went to Villanova where he played the
eighty five national championship. He did not plan the eighty
five days Backard. Now you're lying, he behind Harold McLain,
you're lying to the people. I mean, I would like
disrespecting the papacy, and quite frankly, I'm offended. Okay, as

(11:13):
someone who grew up Catholic, we will you want me to
help you with the questions we have to do hall
of things about the pope. Yeah, you should write it.
I mean I'll do it. Pump me too, Yeah, I
love that. Okay, I'm tired. Uh seven one three two
one two five seven ninety. If you want to join us,
and is anything goes Friday Ross real quick explaining the essence.
If anything goes from well, if you heard this first segment,
it's anything that is on your mind. It is graduation seasons.

(11:35):
But you can also, of course, Talk Houston Sports A
weekend set coming for your Astros and the Cincinnati Reds.
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety is
the phone number seven one three two one two five
seven ninety. We've also been talking some Rockets basketball. Jalen
Green Talk has been taking over for the last week
as well. We can get on that. How'd you video them?

(11:55):
By the way, go, it's wedding season. What do you
mean you got a lot of clicks? I saw that,
or at least a lot of you. Well you mean,
how did well?

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Then?

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Hey? There you going to anybody like your trash your son?
That's fine. A couple of people were upset, but whatever, Okay,
that's good. Try to build my social media brand, Matt
trying to become an influencer. That's gonna take a lot
of work. Hey, uh, we gotta get to the Astros
against the Reds. We gotta get to uh the Bill
Belichick super rumors that are out right now about his

(12:22):
little friend and Draymond Green not happy with the way
he's being treated nationally ten sixteen on Sports Talk seven ninety. Well,
unfortunately the local basketball team is not in the playoffs,
so we're having to watch others, including that New York

(12:42):
I mean back to back to New yorny point deficitly
come back and win it pretty wild. Last night it
was Golden State Minnesota. There was only one game, and
you know, no, Steph and I didn't watch a whole lot,
but honestly because I was coming back from college station.
But what I did listen to and didn't see this

(13:03):
morning was the fact that Jimmy Butler was just kind
of just out there, could didn't take the coat over
the game. And you know, if you got Moses Moody
and you got Quinton Post jacking up shots more than
Jimmy Butler, you're probably gonna get dr as kicked. And
they did. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Anthony Edwards had an ankle injury but came back and
played twenty points. So Dreamond got another technical foul yesterday,
Yes he did. He is won away from being suspended
in the playoffs for a game, which is the second round.
That's not helping him. But generally you want to get
to a conference finals before you're almost going to get

(13:42):
suspended or I don't know, say nothing at all, or
not worry about it. I mean, that's always the easy thing.
To do. Yes. Unfortunately, there was videotape this morning. Videotape, Oh,
I think a phone somebody recording that somebody was using
a racial slur Draymond Green yesterday in Minneapolis. And that's terrible,

(14:05):
no justification for that whatsoever. But you add the technical
which is i think his fifth of the postseason, plus
that and Draymond Green, who normally Rossy goes to the
podium because say what you all about it? Who he
is on the court. Off the court, he's fairly mean,
not fairly. He's very eloquent, he talks the game, he's smart,
you know what he's saying. He's thoughtful at times. But

(14:28):
on the court he's just an ultimate demon. Well, he
did not go to the podium yesterday, Rossi. He just
went into in front of his locker and here's what
he had to say. He looked like the angry black man.
I'm not an angry black man.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
I'm a very successful, educated black man with a great family,
and I'm great at basketball. I'm great at what I
do to the a gender. To try to keep making
me look like an angry black man is crazy. I'm
sick of it.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Is ridiculous, all Right, No one's questioning that you've got
a great family, no one's questioning that you were educated.
No one's saying that you're not a great basketball player.
Draymond Green, I'm gonna here here, I am saying intention
for the voice of the Houston Rockets. Draymond Green is
an excellent basketball player. Has been one of the best
defensive players in the last decade for sure. Really, he,

(15:10):
along with to a caller brought up last week on
Rakire Lincoln, invented the five by five mm. Hmm. That's
doing a little bit everything really really good. Yes, but
he does get on the court and he is angry.
Whether he was Hispanic, Chinese, white, he's just angry, period,
and he swears at officials like he did last night
and got away with it. He got a technical foul earlier.

(15:34):
So unfortunately, you're not going to get any tears from
me or man, I'm sorry you're being so misunderstood. Dreamond
you are who you are and you off the floor.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
You are.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Well spoken, educated. Frankly ross to me, he's quite a
bit complimentary to his opponents more time than he has
been hitting him. The fact how much he likes the
Houston Rockets whether he was saying that when they were
rebuilding or what they went through this past postseason. But
how on the floor, he's a maniac. He is an uncontrollable,

(16:09):
insufferable maniac who gets in punch fights. He cheap shots.
He also gets in fights with former teammates. He's been
suspended multiple times. When he puts an NBA uniform on,
he is it's Doctor Jekyl and mister Hyde. And for that,
I will not apologize for saying that. And yeah, no

(16:29):
you shouldn't. And this is just also a problem. First
of all, he's just dead wrong. He's playing the victim card,
which a lot of people do. Who are you know,
they're the initiators of causing problems and issues and then
they throw stones and then they play the throw their
hands up and play the victim card. That's what Draymond
is Green is doing here. Yeah, but also what he
did with bringing the racial angle in here, it is

(16:51):
makes it worse because there are sometimes issues with the
way public figures are perceived in racial biases and all
that type of stuff. It happens, but to try to
invoke that here undermines other injustices or misperceptions elsewhere. So
he's cheapening. What he's saying is making actual Injustice's actual misperceptions.

(17:15):
It's cheapening them and lessening them, if that makes sense.
When I look at Draymond Green, I don't look at
him and say that's an angry black man. I look
at him and say, that's just an angry man. I've
never worried about the For instance, I'll give you a
guy Grayson Allen, not even close in terms of talent
in the NBA. I don't go, that's an angry white
guy out there. I just look, it's an angry, cheap shot,
dirty player. Now Grayson is obviously clean up his act

(17:39):
a little bit, but also because he's just a fringe,
not a fringe, he's far from being a star in
the NBA, so we don't pay attention to him like
we pay attention to a guy like Draymond Green. But
I I hurt for those people that do have to
suffer from racism. But when you artificially throw it in
there to try to justify your own argument, it makes
it worse. And nice what he did, it makes it worse.

(18:00):
Like I said, you're making it easy for people to
dismiss other issues that are actually there irrelevant and and
this is disappointing. That's the only way, the only word
I could think of when I first saw this, I
was say this, this is just disappointing for him, him
to invoke this and play the victim and then throw
in the racial angle. When you are I mean literally

(18:21):
put in Draymond compilation and YouTube. It's not going to
be him throwing down dunks. It's gonna be him smashing people,
poking them in the eye, kicking them in the junk.
It's his video. So long they have ads in between them, Yeah,
no they do. Oh well, you can get rid of
that by paying for the service, right like you can. Yes,
you're trying to get rid of YouTube ads well, because
I do look at a lot of YouTube. Once you

(18:44):
buy a mat, you won't go back. It's a trip.
It's too good, it's too good. What does it cost
to you to get the ads? And taking off fourteen
bucks something like that is a monthly thing, or that's
a monthly thing. But I think maybe like around like
eleven twelve, because look, I listened to podcasts at night
and I have and sometimes I'm like I'm ninety percent
in my sleep. Brass and I hear this ad and

(19:05):
that goes for like three and a half minutes. Like
I don't mind the thirty second ads, but the three
minute movies when you're not paying attention, you can't hit
the skip button or like you're you're eating food in
your remotes on the other side of the couch. I
want to hit the skip button, but you're like, oh,
I gotta go driving a car, or like again, of
what I do is I sleep. I listen to podcasts
and go to sleep. Huh. But when that ad comes on,

(19:26):
it wakes me up because it's not what I was
normally listening to. Put it on modifier, Mapple Music, Apple
some music, you can it's fine. So yeah, I'm trying
to think if I'm going to spend the money, Am
I going to try to get verified on Twitter? Or
spend the money and put it on put it on
your desktop and use ad block Plus, which although they're

(19:46):
an account and mouse game. Sometimes the phone in my bed.
I don't have my computer in my bed. Yeah, bring
your laptop to bed, you know, why not? I guess
you're right. I put it on your nightstand. But then
the wife has to hear it. She doesn't want to
hear Jim earbuds. I'm not going to put earbuds out
here anyways, right, No, she usually doesn't. I hear it.

(20:06):
I know you too. Sorry if I hear it, I
know she hears it. She said West Palm and I'm
like yeah, And then he got the razor blade out. Man,
this is a hilarious story. And uh yeah, he nicked
his juggler had he nearly died and had to go
to the hospital. Yeah, great story, guys. I'm trying to
sleep over here, Matt. That's it's fine. I'm just kidding.

(20:32):
I prefer you then others snore really loud. I prefer that. Okay.
I won't name any names. You shouldnt. Seven one three
Gordy seven three two. I wasn't gonna do that. I
did it. Well, he's a thousand miles away to convention.
Am I gonna do? I just know on work trips
to pat Now, I'm a little bit of a snore too,
so uh, I get it. I'm not going to crush
anybody for that, but I just make sure I bring

(20:53):
your earbuds on work trips when we're sharing rooms. That's
the responsible thing. And then I left them and I
left them in the hotel in West Paul, the good
hotel and a bad one, the one we too recently. Oh,
that was a good one. I forgot them. Yeah, oh,
and I forgot to call them and ask seven one
three Yeah, we'll go back there next year and see
if they're there, and they're still go check out the

(21:14):
loss and found. Let's do it. I once left a
lottery ticket in a hotel in Minneapolis. Are you serious?
And I called two weeks later and I said, I
left the lottery ticket. I think it's a twenty hours
one and like, oh no, so we don't have them,
like of courciate, I don't have it. What were you thinking?
Why did you waste your bread? Because I wanted to
at least pass by myself and that it didn't work out.
Seven one three two want two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven nine zero Ross

(21:39):
was the last time he did the Humpty hump nineteen
seventy six. There's no chance heavy later than that. Uh yeah,
nineteen seventy Okay, it's been a while. Then, all right,
let's go it is and anything that goes at A
Friday edition of The Matt Thomas show at Ross by

(21:59):
the way, last week, somebody clocked me at seventeen seconds.
Awaken the strippers up. Oh wow, I need to do
better than that. Why because I think I don't think
you can go any longer than seventeen seconds. Let me
take you. Yeah, I'm in that forty five to fifty
second mode in some categories. Uh huh. But this, I'm
gonna give you at least twenty seconds this morning. No,

(22:24):
don't clip that. Yeah, save that for next week. That's easy, peasy,
God almighty. Yeah. So you'll get twenty seconds today at noon. Okay,
get me off to a good start. The weather's good.
Got a big volleyball tournament downtown Houston this weekend. Mm
hmm so volleyball town yep. Okay, Remember I told you
with the volleyballs, the volleyball Mom's gonna be crawling around

(22:46):
downtown Houston. There's gonna be a bunch of two big hotels.
Will be swarmer with them. Okay. If you're a single
guy out there, want to hang out with a special
someone that maybe divorce it with two kids, Yeah, that's
something that you know. You in your wheelhouse, so to speak,
house fish in a barrel they could. You know, what
if they did a movie about wedding crashers, why can

(23:06):
they move a volleyball mom crashers? I like that. Actually,
that's a genius idea. You should get to writing on
that script or at least a treatment as they say, Well,
I'm still walking in the treatment of Ferris Builder's kids
day off. Yeah, that's been slow going. You've been bringing
that up since the COVID nineteen pen. In the thick
of the COVID nineteen pen it is a genius decision
that I can't believe I've not gone through yet. I
know there's so many different things in my life I

(23:28):
went through that I should have done. I have tremendous regrets.
Tremendous don't tell me that that makes me so sad.
The young man, uh No, I just well, the number
one regret I have is I flipped call it in
French class. It was Collette, not paul Ette. I said Collette,
Oh my silver Collette. I love my wife, but I'm

(23:49):
just kidding Collet. You know what I'm saying. I getting
you in trouble. You are going to be just kidding. Sorry,
go ahead. So in twenty fifteen, you don't know this
because you were like six the Astros in that year
and that baseball team had nothing but home runs and strikeouts.
Literally that's all they did, right, There were no base hits.
It was nothing but home runs or strikeouts. It was

(24:10):
Chris Carter and Kolbe Rasmus and the boys hitting bombs.
Hank Conger, well he wasn't hitting that many body he
was on the team. Yeah, So Jonathan, I put out
on Twitter. I called it. I put a hashtag crush City,
and it skyrocketed. So everybody kept putting shirts out saying
crush City. Everybody kept saying it. It was the TV

(24:32):
channel made it. And then one day I was thought
to myself, you know, I should copyright this. And I
went back and look because Rossa the Baltimore Orioles used
it early two thousand and I had no idea, but
I guess who the hell cares about the two thousand
Baltimore Oriols. And I went to the look and it
was available to copyright crush City. And I thought to myself, Man,

(24:53):
this is gonna be a really uncomfortable position I could be.
And if I copyright this that you know, I have
very good relationship with the Astros, we carry their games.
I didn't want it to be uncomfortable, so I didn't
do anything about it. So one day, about two months
into it, ross I got a phone call from the
former president of the Astros, who remain's a good friend
of this day. Read Ryan. I can mention his name right, Yes,

(25:14):
I think I just did. And he calls me and
I said, I said, what's going on here? Hey, I
just want to let you know that we're going to
use crush City and we're going to sell the T
shirts at academy. Oh no, Shot, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Wow, you know what's funny? I just googled crush city.
There's a Reddit thread that gives you full credit question
where did crush City come from? I started to see
it everywhere today. I was wondering where it started off.
Most upvoted comment that Matt Thomas shows the first place
I heard it. This is first of all, you wouldn't

(25:51):
have made very much money from it. I'd have made
something probably it.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Oh yeah, I hold my breath on that. I didn't
take that for a Yeah. To me, he's barbecue. It
was Korean barbie. What difference? No, Okay, Korean barbecue is
a difference. Go ahead, put on pork belly. M hmm, delicious.
Go ahead. Yeah, everyone's saying Matt Thomas is crazy. Yeah,
it's crazy to me, pissing me off. This threads from

(26:17):
ten years ago. Oh you hear that, Jonathan. That's my
number one regret. You know my number two regret is
do you remember I've talked about this before multiple times?
Somebody one comment is giving Lance's airline credit for saying
it first. Yeah, that's just not true, says Lance said
it first, and then Matt Thomas ran with it. No,
that's not true. And you could call Lance right now

(26:38):
if you want it. He would he would not agree
with you on that, right. You know, I can't recall
just terrible. What's my second biggest regret? This goes North Texas. No,
this is going back to when I was in high school. Uh,
becoming the mascot. No, my second biggest regret was, oh,
not becoming an umpire. Noting a year at college. You're

(27:00):
going be an umpire and baseball. But you know what
worked out well because you and I are together here
and we're happy. That's great. Johnny and I should have
gone Johnny and San diego good eight forty Pacific time.
Morning to you, Johnny, you well ten forty to you.
So yeah. Thanks. Listen, Matt.

Speaker 6 (27:21):
I've been listening to you and rot were you and
Ross since uh two thousand and ten. Right, I was
staying in I was living in gold for it. I
remember the intersection that I was standing at whenever I
called it and talked to you, and I said crush

Yet, Johnny, Yet, Johnny, that's.

Speaker 6 (27:43):
Not that's not true, letting you claim oh I should

Speaker 6 (27:47):
No, I shared that to the masses on your show
and you too.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
I know this because the way I did it was
I did it on Twitter. I simply went on Twitter
one day and during one one of the hit one
of the home runs, I just said hashtag crushed it,
and I got like nine million likes. That's Johnny, you're lying.
You were you were like I heard that somewhere. That's no,
that's not true on Twitter. No, no, no, no, Johnny,
you're just lying. Johnny.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
I would never assue you.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
I would if you made money off of it, that'd
be awesome. I would be happy for it. Well, if
that was the case, if there was evidence credit. Let
me tell you, if there was evidence of it, I
would split the money for you fifty fifty. I mean easily.
But I'm the one that created I'm so wanted.

it's my you know, the pants on lake the city.
I guess I get you. By the way, that's the
last you've ever been to. I have not gone to
the Houston Zoo or any of those zoos since then.
I went to I took the kids when they were
younger to San Diego Zoo. I heard it's amazing. Though,
it is absolutely amazing. And I'm not even a person.

(29:50):
I think when I went to San Diego it was
like one hundred dollars to go and I was like, yeah, now,
Lego Lego Land sucks. Lego Land is a huge ripoff.

very MUCHO.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Two down to one to go, Biscuit. This this may
be the most difficult one. She's gonna be two thousand

different time.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Boy.

Speaker 8 (31:39):
When that happens, you get a pay raise.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Man, Yeah, I get to eat.

Speaker 8 (31:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
Man.

Speaker 8 (31:47):
Here's the thing with Raymond, man, and this is one
of the things I would I would put after you
and wrongs and I would ask you sometime we use
the words we use and certain adjectives sometimes to get
over youse. Because in Raymond lad, he's got angry, he's
just loud in a tense. That's what he's saying. I'm

(32:08):
not angry, I'm just loud in atten. That's why I
am a side, That's why I talk. That's my emotion.
I'm not mad at nobody. I'm not angry. So you
said angry. He said, I'm not angry. I'm just loud
in the tents.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
And he also and he also is abusive and likes
to hurt people, but he's great.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Ye dirty.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (32:29):
But he said he's not angry. That's what he's saying.
I'm not angry.

Speaker 9 (32:32):
I'm ade man.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
I love life. I love everybody. I mean, and there's
enough video you out there. There's enough video out there,
bisks you can see that Draymond loves playing basketball. I mean,
he's got to be about late thirties and he could
easily retire go do television to make a very good
chunk of change. He loves playing. He's so very good
at it. I mean, I don't I never thought he
was ever angry. I just thought he was in He
was an abusive, uh dirty, cheap shot artist. And there's

(32:56):
a difference in the two things. Yeah, that's all.

Speaker 8 (32:59):
That's the only point I will make. Noise who called
him anger.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
I don't never mean nobody.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Unless somebody just told.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Him he with a well, I mean there was somebody.
There was somebody last night Minneapolis as something really ridiculous
to him and was racial, and that's horrific. And maybe
maybe he's taken that to it. Maybe he's reading his
own press clubbings. My guess is a dream On is
a frequent checker of Acts, another social platform, so he
probably saw something and is reacting to that.

Speaker 8 (33:25):
Probably so, But but do you do you agree with
my point I'm trying to make is sometime we use
certain adjectives more kind of overuse him and kind of
dilutes them because we put everybody in that category. You know,
everybody is this everybody now man, some of them is
you know, like I say, I would say he's loud,
I would say he's intense.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Anger.

Speaker 8 (33:46):
It's almost like you almost have to be uh know
the person real well, you know what I mean, And
anger is something that's kind of more of an internal thing.
So I don't know if you can really put that
on somebody if you really don't know him that well.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
No, that's right, that's right, thanks, biscuit. Yeah, if you're
honestly ross, if you're angry playing, if you're doing angry
doing anything, you probably can't work. Like if I came
to work or you came to work angry every day,
you couldn't do your child. Yeah, if you are. If
you are an angry construction worker, you're going to make mistakes.
If you're an angry bus shopper, you're gonna get an accent.
If you're an angry basketball player, you're gonna wind up

(34:20):
not being able to stay in a basketball game because
something's going to set you off. I never thought he
was an angry person. I just thought he was over aggressive,
cheap chart artist. What else can we describe, Uh yeah,
just just dirty and sura screw loose, loses his mind. Yeah,
but not angry. If you're an angry boxer, that's probably good.

(34:40):
That's true, MMA fighter. Otherwise, don't come to work angry. Well,
as I said before, the key to JJ Watt's success
was not having sex for several months during the season.
Then he came to work angry because he was like,
I need some loving here and if not, I gonna
take it out on posing quarterbacks. And he was able
to do that. He took my advice beautifully. No, I
don't think he did I think he did. He didn't.

(35:02):
He didn't copulate once his entire NFL career during the season.
Come on, man, I mean what you said. I said,
the best thing that JJ could do is not have
sex during a season. That makes no sense that Jonathan
is any NFL player. Jonathan, you are a chal track star.

Speaker 7 (35:17):
No, okay, So I mean I didn't want to agree
with you, but yeah, that's that's sounds that women wakeing legs?

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Is that what they used to say in track? Let
me tell you something.

Speaker 7 (35:25):
You don't ever want to do that before me before practice. See,
he's back in my point. I will thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Everybody. You're gonna tell me j J. Watt wasn't getting
after it at all. And I'm saying you shouldn't use
a three time defensive Player of the Year. Why can't
he do on Tuesday game and until Sunday? Now, ron mean,
Ronney want to argue this. Oh my god, I'm walking.
You're right, there's a seventy two hour window. Oh my god.

(35:55):
Now the other hand, if you and I are we're
the opposite. We should have relations to make the show
feel a little more lighter, a little more airy, a
little more relaxing. Yeah, we don't need you pent up. Yep.
So those five game road chips not good? All right,
all right, let's talk to Vince in Midtown at ten
fifty five. Vince, good morning, Hey, good morning guys.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
I want to interject, First of all, if Draymond Green
has a podcast, TV show.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Or whatever, I'll never watch it.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
I just can't can't stomach that guy. But wondering what
you guys think about if the reason he gets away
with so much is because what happened when they played
Cleveland in the finals and he got suspended and supposedly
I cost him the series.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
I would say no, but I also believe that there
is evidence that taking Draymond Green out of a game
probably puts the officials in a spotlight they don't want
to be in. Like you, it would be like, God,
this is a terrible comparison, and Vincent Ross I apologize.
Maybe it would be like someone that finally throws the

(37:07):
book at a judge that finally throws a book at
a criminal who's been caught for two or three dwi's
and they go, we'll give you the second chance, so
we know you made a mistake, and then you Finally,
that's fine. I'm I'm saying that if I am a referee,
it's easier for me. I'll give you this one. It's
easier for me to keep him in the ballgame than
have to face the wrath of throwing him out because

(37:30):
it might ultimately, it might cost me playoff assignments, it
might cost me a bad relationship between coaches and players.
Because obviously there's got to be some reason why Draymond's
leash is longer than everybody else's. That's what I want
you guys, tell me right now, and I'll stay out
of this. Why is his leash longer than any other
player in the history of the NBA, in the history
of the NBA. The only reason I can think of

(37:51):
is because he's his baseline activities are so much crazier
than everyone else's that he's really got to go out
of his norm to get thrown out a games like
he elbowed nas Read in the head, He kicked Tarry
Easton in the head, those are blows to the head.
He hit Fred van Vliet in the head. Those should
be ejections, they're not. But they're just normal Dread. That's

(38:12):
just Draymond being Draymond. I guess you don't think a
little bit of it is because their officials are afraid
to be the guy that finally threw out av players.
I don't know, but he's been ejected from a lot
of games. And also there is a very very interesting
piece of data about Draymon and the benefit that he
does get from the referees that I saw that. We'll
talk about it. You are giving us so much data?

(38:34):
Or do is a kid say data? I don't think
the kids are saying that. Well, my kids are seven
to one. You're saying chat GPT. They are. They're going
AI by. Well you can Facebook chat GBT and on
you're like your messenger page. I'm chat DBT in all
the time. You are doing what h When I look
at it something on Facebook, it'll say what has this

(38:54):
person done since this? They got off the show and
they'll run through their bio it shows up. Okay? Do
people do even kids write book reports anymore? I mean, why,
what's the point now there's like this big article and
people are talking about it how chad GPT is basically
ruining academia. I don't disagree. Get them to write in classes.

(39:16):
Coming back man I'm so proud of And.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
She knows.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Let me tell you something, your future wife, she knows
what she's doing in the classroom. A lot to get
away with that stuff. Don't want to get away with
stuff that we used to get away with back in
the day. Sports Talk seven ninety eleven oh one on
Sports Talk seven ninety It is the Matt Thomas Show
with Ross we Are and anything goes. Friday, Texans Rookie
Mini camp is underway. Ross, you should have been there

(39:42):
to let the show to go cover it. Oh, Adam
Wexer is there. We're good to go. Okay, that's great.
You want to get a report from him, I'm fine, Okay.
Let me guess they're gonna be in shells and they're
running around and they're doing their thing, and they're very
excited to be there, and that you gotta take care
of it. Okay, All right, Now I have an piece
of audio from Brian Windhorse I'm going to send to

(40:04):
Jonathan right now. That's going to probably back up your
claim what we were talking about. The data when it
comes to one Draymond Green. Yes, there was somebody. I'm
trying to give him proper credit. His name is Owen Phillips.
He does NBA data and stuff like that. So what
they did was they looked at the last two minute reports.
Of course, if people don't know when there is a

(40:26):
close game in the last two minutes, the NBA kind
of looks at calls, says when there should have been
a call, no calls that were missed, calls that were
made that were wrong, and probably doesn't do anybody any favors.
It just angers everybody. It doesn't put I mean, it's
some transparency from the NBA, so that's good. So what
they did was they collected all the last two minute
reports or somebody else that did, and they looked at
who the players who benefited from no calls the most.

(40:50):
In theory supposed to be fifty to fifty. You get
some no calls, you get some call that shouldn't have
And I argue with that with Adam Clanton all the time.
These things tend to equal out on both sides because
the Rockets are guilty of it penalties and fouls and whatnot,
as are the opponents. This is also just two minutes
of a forty eight minute game, but it's the sample
that we have that's right. Draymond Green benefits the most

(41:13):
from from calls that should have been made that weren't
according to last two minute reports, So, for instance, more
than anyone. So he is he is a He is
a big outlier on on the data, on this graft
that they have so to dumb it down a little bit.
Every time a some sort of foul, potential foul, travel whatever,

(41:35):
the player will be listed. He obviously has a greater
group of his name attached to oops, we missed the
call than anybody else in the NBA. Yes, so more
times than not when a call is erroneously made in
the final two minutes involving Draymond Green. Now those just

(41:56):
involvement Durma Green, just involving graym onng Green on fouls,
on fouls, the officials get it wrong, Yes, more often
than any other player in the NBA. And that's because
of the reputation. I think Ross and I the more
I say it, the more I kind of believe myself.
I think there's a great group of officials that do
not want to be the one to say I tossed

(42:18):
Raymond Green. Now, some of the guys a little bit
close to him, they are like defensive Player of the
Year type guys. Rudy Gobert is excused a little bit
to beneficing benefiting, same thing for Jannie Stin Gumpo. So
the reason why we're bring up Raymond Green so much
is because yesterday he had a very very brief comment
in the locker room following Golden States lost in Minnesota

(42:40):
yesterday basically saying that he is being targeted for being
an angry black man. I'm not an angry black Man's
an agenda, he said, an agenda is being pushed. This
is and we'll let Jonathan play the samba. This is
Brian Windhorst today on First Take, talking about the reputation
that Draymond Green has around the NBA.

Speaker 10 (42:57):
He's got five technicals and two flavorants in nine playoff games.
Those he probably should have more technicals. He was a
restraint showed by the referees. By the way, that's a
big complaint across the league that Draymond gets away with
stuff after he commits a flagrant, and after he commits
a technical, and sometimes even after.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
He gets five fouls.

Speaker 10 (43:20):
There is a belief that Draymond actually gets too much leeway.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
This is not my word, this is what people tell me.

Speaker 10 (43:27):
They say he gets away with too much stuff because
the referees don't want to be the one who rejects
him or calls a flagrant on our second flagrant on him,
because they know that there's going to be an onslaught.
That's a perception of opponents out there, not necessarily my.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Mind, it's mine, Brian. I claim it. I have zero
problem claiming it. I think I think there are a
lot of officials that don't want to be attached to that.
You're the one that tossed Draymond Green. You're the one
that's going to have to hear from Draymond Green postgame.
You're the one that's going to have to hear Steve
Kerr go on a dietry butt officiating. Yeah, I think
there's a lot of that for sure, and I'm sure

(44:04):
Ross in all sports there are other players like that.
It's like you don't want to strike out Barry Bonds
on a strike three call. I think there are probably
players that have getten that gets bigger strike zones. Greg
Maddox dragmatics, you know, because Greg Mannus doesn't walk people.
It strikes people out or he gets feel out. I'm

(44:26):
sure there are justin Vierlinard get calls and football. Maybe uh,
a quarterback gets to stay up right, it doesn't called
for a sack. Maybe Pat Mahomes being a good example
of that, maybe less sacks are called on him in
the pot you know, with with you know under you
know when when you can hardly touch him and you
get a or you it's exactly right, you touch Pat

(44:47):
Mahomes anywhere and the flag comes. I mean, yeah, I
think there is. That's the human part of officiating. Is
there's going to be a bias towards a handful of people.
The question is, why would did you give a bias
to a guy like Draymond Green when he's done nothing
but just this discuss how horrible you are. He doesn't
play nice with them, he doesn't know he attacks them

(45:09):
all the time. He swore at Tyler Forge yesterday and
cameras got it clearly. Do you when do you ever
get to you to swear at officials? He elbowed reading
the head, he elbow. He swings his elbow to his
head and then tries to say he didn't do anything.
I think he just blacks out or something. Well, no,
I think he's got a multiple personality disorder. Yeah, I

(45:33):
mean it is not to read a fridge. And I
think he is just saying how much you're gonna cost?
How much cap space do you have? I don't think, yeah, look,
you got much unless unless you were to divest yourself
of a couple of players. But that's a different issue.
Different point being is this, Uh he has a player
option for fifteen million. He's like, so you gotta pay

(45:55):
me more than that. Probably if you're he's opting out.
And I don't think the Rockets. I think I think
you could argue as the second most important player in
that team over Rudy Gobert ooh, Julius Randall and Cutter Ooh, Okay,
I'm gonna disagree with you, but I mean it's important.
I can see either way he is important. But I
think nas Reed's star brightness has grown this year more

(46:19):
than any of the year in his NBA career. Well,
he don't cost you that, Maddie. That's what I'm saying.
If I'm Minnesota, if I'm if I'm him, I'm gonna
go test the for agent water. Since I can get
more nas we can get more than fifteen million dollars
a year, Yes, unless the Wolves want to set him
to a longer term deal and give him bigger money.
Mm hmm. Okay, So that's uh, that's probably it for
We didn't we didn't break the game down because I'm

(46:40):
gonna assume it very few of you watched. But Minnesota
didn't win the game in that series, tied in a
game apiece, and Draymond went Draymon and then claimed to
be the victim. YEP, disappointing for usually the case. Seven
one three, two one two, five, seven ninety. If you
want to jump into the conversation at seven one three
two one two five seven, and I mentioned the Texans

(47:00):
rookies are at mini camp today. Again, it's just getting acclimated.
There could be nothing headline out of it unless somebody
gets hurt, and if somebody doesn't, let you know. But
other than that, they're putting the uniform on and they're
feeling good and they can't wait to get the rail
training camp. And I mean we know the general stuff
on that. Staying in football for a second, you know
who Pablo Torre is, I do. He was on ESPN?

(47:23):
Is he still on ESPN? He's not okay, and he's
gone into the political sphere now he has also done.
He's also part of the network that handles the Miami
sportscaster Dan Lebtard. He has a media network. I think
it's called Metal Lark Media if I'm not mistaken. Okay,
he is out this morning with a variety of tweets

(47:45):
and you can follow him at p A B L
O T O R R E. Just just let you know.
And again, no one else, nobody North Carolina hasn't verified
this other more mainstream ESPN reporters, if not Mad Athletic,
am I gist one this Pablo Tori in this morning
in a variety tweets, is basically saying that miss Jordan,

(48:08):
I forgot her last name, that's Hudson. Jordan Hudson, the
twenty four year old of Bill Belichick, will not be
allowed to be around the North caronar football program because
of the variety of things that she has tried to
do or lead. And it kind of crescendled with that
CBS News Sunday morning airing where she basically was a

(48:31):
pain in the ass the whole time and did not
allow the question to be answered about where they met.
This is getting interesting. Was she trying to be defensive coordinator.
What is she doing.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
This to me.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
Is one hundred percent. I'm the young, young, young girlfriend
of a guy who everybody around Bill Belichick hates. That
would probably include his family, That would probably include the
assistant coaches, that probably would include the administrators. She's she's

(49:09):
a g digger. Why'd you sense her the first word
gold digger? Yeah, that made it sound way weirder. Oh,
kind of mean too. Yeah, she's okay, people are trying
to get rid of her. I think that she has
got her hooks in him. Oh yeah, and you can

(49:29):
see why, and he's letting her. And I think my
guess is the people around him in and in his
football world, his family world, are saying this gold digger
is coming after Pops and we got to stop this.
So you're saying that she is the Jack Easterbee of
UNC football. Mm if Jack easter b we're sleeping with Ken, now,

(49:55):
I would think that this is more in and a
cole Smith of the old dude. Okay, And you know
how the family, the family of the old dude that died,
hated everybody her with all her passion. This comes across
to me as we got to stop this. We need
an intervention to say this woman is ruining. Weally ban
her from the football facilities because I think she's around

(50:18):
all the time. I guess who's to say? Can you
read those teets? You might read anyone to read him
for you. I was reading a story, an aggregated story.
It's kind of a it's a link to the audio here.
Here's basically what he said. Talk to eleven people who
dealt directly with John how many power eleven people? Yeah,

(50:41):
there's a whole article that I would have to read.
I guess, well, let's just read Pablo's I'll read his
tweets real quick. Then let's make this nice and simple, uh,
he says. Sources to this is from the Bill Belichick's girlfriend,
Jordan Hudson, is now banned from the UNC football facility.

(51:03):
One Belichick family source ads there is deep worry for
how detrimental Jordan can be, not just for North Carolina,
but Bill's legacy and reputation, everything he's built and worked
for for decades. By the way, ps UNC can now
choose to describe or change his position on Jordan Hudson's involvement,

(51:25):
however it wishes following the publication of our episode, so
obviously a podcast that he did, we requested comment and
filled dozens of fo AIA requests that were not satisfied,
and we stand by the specific reporting in our episode,
which came from the highest levels of the football program.
So somebody at the football level went to Pablo and said,
you want to know what's going on? How about to

(51:45):
tell you? Yeah, Freedom and Information Act is what he's
talking about. FOIA especially, it's easier to investigate public institutions
rather than private because because of the Freedom of Information
Act that they receive public funding, they have to be
more transparent about things that are going on. Know what,
The rejection rate on that is larger than I ever
thought it would be. You know that because you the
chronicles were asked for some things about u H over

(52:07):
the years and they've been denied. Hmm. So I guess
it has to meet in certain criteria. Yeah, yeah, I
don't know what that criteria is that be, but it's
used to be if you if you went for freight
of information, you got anything you want, And now it's
a lot more difficult. It sounds like to me, this
is this is the stage of the intervention that they
let everything go on until a really Ross. I mean,

(52:30):
of all the less and hard hitting news programs that
are out there, Sunday morning on CBS is as lighthearted
and as positive and as the sunshiny, bright story tough
piece you could get. And if she's making that difficult,
there must be something going on. That's what it sounds like.

(52:55):
All these football legends are going outside. Who else you
got who else is going outside?

Speaker 2 (53:01):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (53:02):
That said the name sne that's true, that's young women
is the common thread. Yeah, it's funny, power the and
then watch yourself. Deshaun Watson, Well, I don't know if
he'd made it a legendary yet no alleged he was
going to somebody, some group of people wants to say

(53:25):
this is enough. And my my super guest is on
this ROSSI that there are members of his family that
are like throwing this stuff in there, like I can't
let Pops ruin his life over this little hussy. Interesting, Yeah,
what's Steve Belichick's and got to get in there. We'll see.
Can I tell you that you don't care? I really don't.

(53:48):
I think I think it's very interesting. I mean, he's
he's with some young chick. He's in his seventies. He's
at U n C. Push him the best. But this
isn't about her burning the playbook. This is obviously trying
to run his life. And there's there's two different things, okay,
And I think there's probably enough people that do like

(54:08):
Bill Belichick. I don't know who that would be, but
my guess would be his family that would say, you
know what, we got to We're gonna use the power
of the media to get this this little you know what.
Apparently North Carolina has already denied banning her from facilities. Well,
of course they did. I don't know pabulatory at all,

(54:28):
but I don't think he's gonna go out there and
say those things unless he's got it with Christine thinks so.
But apparently there was some investigation he launched, like you said,
he was going Freedom of Information Act stuff, interviewing family members.
He did a whole thing on it. So maybe he's
an alum like I can't let my school go down
like this. Let me ask youse, I wonder do you
I'll give it? We could wrap this up, per said chance.

(54:50):
He says, the hell with you, North Carolina. I'm out well,
if they're denying it already, they're probably gonna want to
accommodate him. I'm gonna say he'll he'll coach this season.

Speaker 16 (59:26):
Makes You Dope?

Speaker 1 (59:32):
Title Makes You Dope? Anything goes Friday here on the
radio programmer we called Sports Talk seven ninety, Randy says,
do you think the age and situation with this gold
digger affects how his player's view bill From a player
to coach standpoint, My guess is those guys are just

(59:52):
if I was a player in North Carolina going my
coach is getting that young piece. Matt props give him
some respect. I mean, how many seventeen year olds are
bumping around twenty four year olds? I don't know. But also, you,
when you're recruiting, you're not only recruiting the player, you're
recruiting the parents. I think some parents, oh the parents

(01:00:13):
wouldn't think it's that interesting. They wouldn't You wouldn't think
they'd be alarmed. Yeah, some of the mothers, Oh, for sure,
you're taking you're letting you're gonna be the father figure
to my son for the next four years, and you're
marrying somebody that's you're hanging out with somebody that this
could be as oldenough to be a granddaughter. Yeah, it
probably could be affected. I don't know. I just uh,

(01:00:35):
I find some of these to be intriguing dramas. So
we'll just got to see what happens on that. But
it's interesting that Pablo Tory today, of all, I mean,
just a rando reporter would would come out and have
all this. Obviously he's been working on it for quite
some time. Mm hmm. Of a little CBS News Sunday
morning program you're watching you seriously, that's a shoe. You
could just sit back in your couch, have a cup
of coffee, just kind of just lightly look at the

(01:00:56):
news of the day in a little where are they
now kind of they'll do like some serenity now kind
of here's the peaceful Georgia peach farm and just kind
of this nice way to wake up on a Sunday. Okay,
sounds wonderful. You should try to sleep in what times
it come on. It's like nine o'clock. I'm on, I'm asleep. Yeah,
that's eleven fifty nine. Football is starting. I'm waking up.

(01:01:19):
That's true. That's goods unless the Premier League is still going.
Uh speaking of that, and the same thing goes far
we have. I'm sorry it's coming up in about of
they are. Did you see what Ted Cruise is doing? No,
nothing about going to games? Okay, I thought you were
staying away from Ted Cruise. That happened on Twitter. That's true,
But this is it's it's it's a little bizarre. He

(01:01:43):
is very upset that the NFL is sneaking into windows
where high school and college football should be played. Okay,
and he brought this up in government hearings earlier this week,
and we didn't have a chance to bring it up
azillion an hour show that today when I was off yesterday.
So he's like, I guess there's been an unwritten rule,
or maybe it's even a written rule. I'm not completely

(01:02:05):
sure that you can only you can only be on
Sundays and Thursdays, that there's a sacred window for the
NFL not to touch. They're on Wednesday, Christmas, and that's
Fridays and Saturdays through the college football season, and once
the college football season is over with, which is in December,
they do sneak some Saturday games in there, and they've

(01:02:26):
done that ever since you and I've been watching football.
To me, my thought is originally is that I'd rather
you continue to get my four O one K built
up and lower the pross costs of eggs and whatnot.
And yeah, that's my first love. But my second thought
and perhaps more important thought on this is, while I

(01:02:47):
appreciate the honoring of set events, honestly, high school football
is a very much a If your kid, or your
neighbor or your community is involved, it's cool. But generally speaking,

(01:03:09):
I don't let anything in my life ever be affected
by whether or not a high school game is. Yeah,
I'm with you with that. I haven't been to a
high school game since I was literally in high school.
But there are people who go to high school games
just to see big game. I mean, in Texas, it's
just a different animal. It is a different people, and
maybe we're a different to But here's my point. If
I was a high school fan, and I wanted to

(01:03:31):
watch let's say the high school my daughter goes to
king what was going to play say Humble. There is
not a single NFL game in this world that would
preclude me from going to watch that game unless it
was a I was a Texan season ticket holder and
the Textans happened to play on Friday night. Short of that,
if Baltimore versus seattles on, it might be a great

(01:03:52):
football game. But I'm going to see Kingwood versus Humble.
I can't imagine if you're a high school connoisseur that
it all of a sudden is going to wreck your life.
If there's an NFL. Yeah, it's not wrecking your life
for sure, But I mean, I guess it does make
decisions for people to have to make. I don't know.
But also I don't care. And yeah, I thought Ted
Cruz aren't well, it was supposed to be limited government

(01:04:14):
type of stuff. Why is the government getting involved on
Friday night football? Who cares? They're just saying this is
a waste of government resources. Even wout that, They're just
saying keep the window. What are they trying to do?
They're just trying to say, don't interrupt the Friday Saturday
when where they're going to pass some legislation and against
who of the NFL and say you can't broadcast on
Friday nights on what grounds? Because no, it's not a

(01:04:36):
question of it's not a question of acting government. The
government will go to Roger Goodell, who Rodger Goodell goes
to the government, says hey, can you cut us a
break on this? Cut us a break on this, and
they'll say, we'll cut you some breaks, but you're not
going to put games on on Fridays and Saturdays. Okay,
there's no legislators. You can't legislate against this. It's one
of those if the NFL is looking for sweetheart deals

(01:04:59):
for land and for property, for antitrust rights, for variety
of concussion protocols, all it's it's a don't forget about
this aspect. And again, to me, I don't care when
the NFL is on. If I watch, if I if
I'm truly invested invested into the game, I'll watch. I

(01:05:20):
don't care what day. That we can say, yeah, I
watch it every I mean I watch Monday night, Thursday night,
but if I have somebody watch it every day. But
if I have something I have to do. It's not
gonna I'm not gonna be angry by it. If my
if I had kids that were playing, like my daughter
plays volleyball on Friday nights, I'm going to watch her
play volleyball. There ain't no chance in hell I'm watching.
Even the Texans are playing. I'm gonna watch my daughter
play volleyball, or I'm my son's gonna play in the band,

(01:05:42):
or my daughter's in the drill team. I I don't know.
This feels like to me, this is one of those
situations that I understand and appreciate. He wants to protect
this the not the saint, the sanctity work. Sanctity work, yes,
sanctity of high school football and Americana and mom and
apple Pie and this Saturday pageantry. But man, the world

(01:06:02):
goes around the National Football teagn comes to when it
comes to sports. It just does. And every You could
put a game on at two o'clock in the morning
and people would watch it. Yeah, And then, like you said,
they're not necessarily direct competitors. I mean, they're both football,
but yeah it is. Yeah, if it was direct competition,
I could see it. But it's just not all right,
ladies and gentlemen. We spend one half hour every week

(01:06:25):
on the show apologizing to people, and I need to
apologize to a certain group of women. At the graduation
yesterday for Texas A and m M. Okay, they caught
you staring her.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
No I was.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
I was talking out on my breath to them. Okay,
But I feel like it's the only appropriate that I
apologize to them. That's good. I'm proud of you. And
they don't even know if you actually apologize for something
you did, it actually mean. It doesn't look like it
by the face you're making. You don't know that. If
you want to apologize for something you've done this week,
and lord knows, I've meant plenty of you. Seven one

(01:07:59):
I impressive work, all right, Yeah you're still recovering. Yeah, Matt,
you're You're not twenty three at the the summit anymore. Matt,
I still got it. You can't take it away from me.
Twelve those six is our time. Time now for the news, dude,

(01:08:19):
and with that we present to you the Peter Jennings
of Houston Sports. Well, thank you, Matt. Hero the News
at noon. A number of things to get to. We'll
start with your Houston Astros starting a week in set
with the Cincinnati Reds. Reds lose yesterday, so they are
no longer five hundred. They're at nineteen and twenty. Astros

(01:08:40):
square away at eighteen and eighteen. Sunday it will be
Ronel Blanco. Tomorrow it will be Lance mccullor's junior. But
you are two to one favorites. Tonight, Hunter Brown back
on the mound. We should be feeling good. Hopefully updates
later on in the day about your on Alvarez. He's
supposed to be swinging a bat this weekend. Red's coming

(01:09:02):
at nineteen and twenty had lost last night to the
Braves five to four, so they're gonna be hashtag tired.
Astro should take advantage. It's hashtag fresh. It's a guarantee.
Woudn't I Hunter Brown on the mountain?

Speaker 8 (01:09:10):
Let's go?

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
Yeah? How could you possibly last? Nineteen minutes three one final?
I just said, how could you possibly lose? Out loud?
I'm so sorry? I apologize. How does Vegas feel about
this match up? Two hundred? Ooh, significant favor? That's pretty
good for Vegas? Is like WHYUS one twenty five? Yeah,
unless it's like Justin Verlander prime, Justin Verlander against about

(01:09:32):
like a bad White Sox team that it gets up
to like three hundred. But yeah, minus two hundred for
your Houston Astros this weekend as they welcome in the
Cincinnati Reds. Elsewhere, Matt, the big news of the day
has been what is going on with Bill Belichick and
his girlfriend? Report from Pablo Torre, who used to be

(01:09:54):
on ESPN but now hosts a podcast, said quote. Numerous
sources close to Belichick's family had detailed a controversial relationship
between the seventy three year old coach and Hudson, including
claims she had been banned by university facilities. A band
from the university facilities. The University of North Carolina has
issued a statement in response, you got to say yeah.

(01:10:19):
While Jordan Hudson is not an employee at the University
of Carroll Carroll or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to
the Carolina football facilities. Jordan will continue to manage all
activities related to Coach Belichick's personal brand outside of his
responsibilities for Carolina Football and university. Yes, she's a gold digger.
We understand that her family hates her and we hate
her too, But he made us write this there you did, Hey,

(01:10:41):
come on, Matt, you can't say quote and do that?
All right? Well, they teach you in journalism in the
last two sentences, But you know that Belichick wanted to
make sure this got dispelled quickly or Jordan did, and
so she made or he made or both did make
go to North Carolina and say did you say this?
Oh no, we would have never said this bell no way,

(01:11:01):
no chance. Well, we'll put it out there to make
sure everybody knows that your girl, your little hussy, is
more than welcome at our campus. You know what I
wanted to get to this. I got to this yesterday, Matt,
and I get a chance to address it with you.
But according to Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley, of course
the NBA on TNT, the Knicks are up to nothing

(01:11:23):
on the Boston Celtics, Game three at home for the
New York Knicks is a must win game. I'm not commenting,
go ahead. Is it a must win game? Well, Shack
says it is. Chuck agrees with him, must win game
for the New York Knicks up to nothing at home.

(01:11:45):
I'm not doing it. I'm not getting in the semantics
with you. Why not. I'm just asking you, noause, I'm
not arguing about it. I'm just asking you a question.
People know how you feel about the term must win.
You have literal and figurative meetings for it. I will say.
Can I just say this, m h. Being down two
to one in a series doesn't sound nearly as god

(01:12:05):
awful as being down oh three, It just doesn't. No,
I'm saying that the no. He they're saying the Knicks
it's a must win game for them. Matt, There's nothing
in the series. Oh that's the act the second oh
muslim for the Knicks. Well, I will say this, If
Boston wins tomorrow, it will give them tremendous momentum. So

(01:12:31):
it is a must win game. Mhm, can't. I can't
even know. I can't.

Speaker 5 (01:12:40):
Don't get comfortable. It's a must win for Baltimore. But
it's also a muscle win for Knicks. If you want
to put serious pressure in the chaps. Game three is
a musk for the Knicks, said in the fourth quarter.
So let me let me take that for a second.
He is a hundred percent correct.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
You're yeah, no, you know what. We're not having this conversation.
All right, we can move on at the mine, dude,
but I know that if you really are going to
pound the nail in their coffin, you gotta win tomorrow.
See you're agreed. It's a must win game. I didn't
say it, all right. See this is why I started
my crusade, because a ridiculousness like that. All right, Moving along, Matt,

(01:13:24):
we also play it, played this audio earlier. Draymond Green
lost his mind again. He elbows nas Reed in the head,
gets a flick or foul?

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
Five technicals? Couple of frogans flagrants for him in nine games,
he's close to suspension. Well, he says, it's all about
a narrative and an agenda. He looked like the angry
black man. I'm not an angry black man.

Speaker 4 (01:13:48):
I'm a very successful, educated black man with a great family,
and I'm great at basketball. I'm great at what I do.
To put the agenda to try to keep making me
look like an angry black man, It's crazy. I'm sick
of it, as we do.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
And by the way, also for he failed to mention
that he's quite modest. He is great at the game
of basketball. He is going to go to the Hall
of Fame, yep. But he is also a dirty player
or he has a screw loose. He loses his mind.
Like I said, I think he blacks out because he's
like tries to argue that he didn't do anything. He
loses control of his limbs. He needs to go back

(01:14:21):
to whatever therapy Adam Silver was making him go to
last year, because it clearly didn't work. It didn't work.
He did it because he was told to do it.
He didn't do it because he wanted to change who
he was. I mean, the bottom line is he is
a diabolic hall in the court. No, there's really no
other way to say it. Well, he says he's a

(01:14:42):
victim and the people that there's an agenda to make
him look like an angry black man. Why is there
who created the agenda? I'm curious who starts the agenda?
Who started the agenda? Yeah, who started the agenda where
you're poking everyone in the eyes, kicking them in the nads,
raking them across the face, trying to dislocate elbows and
elbowing people in the head, Tarry Easton in the head.
You know, there's no agenda for Jason Tatum. There's no

(01:15:03):
agenda for Mike Conley. There's no agenda for Aaron Murray
the Denver Nuggets. Help me out, help me with Jamal Murray. Well, Aaron,
Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray, I use both those guys, And no,
I guess don't have those agendas. Why why did the
NBA choose Draymond Green of all people for the Golden
State Warriors, an undersized center who was really good at

(01:15:25):
his job when he's acting legal, which is about half
the time. That's a question for Draymond Green, and that
is the victim in all this. Should we set up
a gofund me count for Draymond Green? Yes, well, how
much you seventy five cents a day you can keep
to fight the agenda? Gets Draymond Green? Seventy five cents

(01:15:46):
a day be about? Would be about what twenty two
dollars a month you want to spend twenty two hours
a month? Let me ask you this, what is what
is money better spent for me? Draymond Green gofund me
at seventy five cents a day be paying for the
premium YouTube I get rid of the ads or see
getting my Twitter account verified? What do you want verification for?

(01:16:10):
I don't know. Maybe oh, longer characters on my tweets?
What's the longest sweet you put out? I mean I
have to sometimes curtail it at one? No goes. You
get to get two hundred something now? Oh I want
three to sixty. I want to use extra hashtags? Now
we need to limit your tweets. My tweets are fantastic.
How do we get to the opposite of verified? Will

(01:16:31):
they froddle you? May your account? Oh you know what
you want me to get nullified? Is that what you
want I say that what you want? Okay, twelve fourteen,
it is the Matt Thomas Show of Roster with you
today until two o'clock and then goes Friday. I'm gonna
read you some quotes from Dimaico Ryan's from today at
Mini Camp textan exclusive stuff. My guess is I could
take the exact same quotes that he had what he

(01:16:53):
first took over the job and what he did today.
It would be the exact same thing. There when need
to start saving these for year after year, year after year. Okay,
make some up and then we could we could do
a game show. People can guess which. Same thing with
Nick Assario. Yeah, but you'd have to get through a
ninety seconds of word salad and that would just be
I mean, yeah, we don't want to put the audience

(01:17:14):
to sleep. I heard Nick on Twitter the other day.
Don't talk about somebody, it's something on their alignement. I
literally was nodding off all like I can't not off
I'm driving. I thought would be, it would be, it
would be nice to be informed, but he just never
gives you anything. He'd he is the most word salady
of word salad people in the history of Houston sports.

(01:17:34):
You gotta listen to the between the lines. Matt read
the tea leaves. I don't have time to read the
tea leaves. I'm sorry, I don't have three hours. If
he is your schedules lightning up? Now a bit of it?
If he is the word salad king, who is next
in line? Who's the prince? I will tell you after
we take the short Oh it is anything goes Friday

(01:17:55):
here on the program twelve twenty one on Sports Talk
seven nineties seven one three two one two five seven nine.
If you want to jump in seven one three two
one two five seven nine, So I Nicko Seria was
the king of wardon salad? Who is the prince? And
you have a definitive answer? I did not say I
had a definitive Oh, can we use people that aren't
here anymore? James Click? James Click was really bad. Yes,

(01:18:21):
when we had both of them in this town, you
weren't getting anything from anybody. I can't remember what were
the James Click Sean Salisbury conversations like where'd you feel
if you could you get anything out?

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
Not?

Speaker 1 (01:18:33):
Really? It's better with Dana Brown. Yeah, I think Dana
gives you more stuff for sure, raphel Stone doesn't do
a whole lot. He can do it a little bit.
I think I just don't think you go to him.
The basketball gams don't get talked about a whole lot.
I mean, doesn't do much except I think he goes
on with the radio station that went a semi regular basis.

(01:18:54):
But you know, yeah, we very rarely play any of
his sound by because again, I want to keep the
show interesting and fun for people, and it just doesn't
do much for me. All right, Uh this is what
uh Demiko Ryan said today about Rookie Mini Camp. We're
just trying to get the guys accommended to what we
do and how we do it. Here you go. Is

(01:19:17):
that a quote from this year, last year, or his
first year that could be from anywhere? I would saying
that the answer is actually the all day about exactly
every single year. He should just put like a button
on it, like like a button bar is what they
call it in the radio and the check You just
press the button and it says whatever, like the doll
when you're a kid. Like because honestly, the same question

(01:19:39):
and beyond the same questions being asked, what you do
is you give you give Demiko the transcripts of twenty
twenty four or twenty three and twenty four, and you go, okay,
So this person asked me a questions about how we
look so far, and what's it like, what's the biggest transit,
the biggest transition for rookies? You look down on transit. Oh,
I was asked fourth question twenty twenty four and then

(01:20:00):
just read verbating what you said. Just getting used to
what we do. Okay, thank you, Dimiko. Anything else anything groundbreaking?
Let me look, why don't you promote something while Yeah,
you know what, I'm gonna promote my Instagram account at
sports RV trying to get the followers up. Okay, I
appreciate you. Let's talk about that Instagram account for a minute.
But it's very intriguing conversation about the jailing green data.

(01:20:23):
But you had like a goofy little camera view in
the lower left hand corner with you. You look like
you were like doing like a high school, like a present,
not a president, like a community access show. Oh I
got a green screen. Yeah, I used the green screen.
That's called high production value. Matt got a chroma key.
That bad boy gotta get my studio lights going Yeah,

(01:20:46):
then I had to edit it and that was like
take ten, because I don't I have a pet peeve
of mine is when people do these bunch of jump
cuts in their videos and like, hey, don't you want
you just doing one take like a normal person? Like, uh,
somebody doesn't do it in one take. Taylor doesn't do
him a one take? What Taylor our betting friend? She's

(01:21:09):
not my betting friend. Well, mean, she's a friend to
all of us. Yeah, how are her bets to look
at these days? She had Boston money Line and she
did not win that one. Oh well, but but she
was a winner in our b Are you serious? Well
she had it or you know, are you serious? They
were ten and a half point favorite. She took the

(01:21:31):
ten and a half point favorites of the money line.
That is Tony the hatchet Man parody that we used
to do back in the day. Were there to be
a team that was a two touchdown favorite, let me
I got him on the money line. That was a joke.
This parody has become reality. Are you dead serious? Well,
here's a Barras let me finish. She had a parlay. Okay,

(01:21:52):
her parlay was what she had, Oh my god, excuse me.
All right, her parlay was and I'm looking down. She's
got she's tweeting a bunch. Does she have the baby?
I don't know. I don't know either, Matt. I need
to send her a gift if I do. Anyways, Oh,
here it is. She had Celtics money Line and Oklahoma
City money Line parlay. She had Derek White over fourteen

(01:22:15):
and a half points, Russell Westbrook over sixteen and a
half points and rebounds. And she's in Kentucky walking around
and she's had the baby. Congratulations second by that baby
will not go hungry. Anyways. It's a company, the company initiative,
so I'd appreciate it. I'm trying to build my Instagram
up at sports Harvey. How many people got so far?
I'm just in zero right now. You have no followers

(01:22:36):
on no followers. I got six hundred. That's not bad.
Let me check my Instagram. I'm trying to get to
a G we're trying to get We're trying to get
my weight up here. Like I said, company initials, I try.
I got two and thirty one. Yeah, see you're doing great.
That's not grand. It's okay, I think Adam Klin's probably
got like five k. Yeah, but he's on on like
twelve hours a day. Still, good for him. He's got

(01:22:58):
nine thousand, that's too many. I'm not gonna get up
to that. He's got thirty eight hundred posts. So let's
do this. Let me get there. But let's just knock
this out right now. Follow us on Instagram as sports
empty and at sports Hey see, why do you have
to jump into this? Just follow me, don't unfollow that
and follow me. Okay, no, I'm just kidding. Follow sports
RV and if you're totally bored, add sports empty to
your list. Uh wex'sw's wex is like the he's the

(01:23:23):
ig king or TikTok king. I don't have time for TikTok.
It's a lot. I do believe this is the way
the world.

Speaker 7 (01:23:32):
If you just said like your casual phrases and I'm
the voice of the rockets, he might be like, yeah,
you go viral.

Speaker 1 (01:23:39):
Well, I mean I've gone viral. My point is this,
I think there's if you social media too much, you
you just become irritating. I'm true, That's what I'm trying
to do. Well, you've been entertaining. Yeah, no matter if
you're if you're on social media, you irritate me anyway.
All right, So I told me to promote something. You
were going to look up? What was it? Oh? Any

(01:23:59):
other quotes? Nothing? I got nothing? Oh thank you, Matt.

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:24:05):
Wait, Buddy Wade's like, I'm shook that Tony the Hatchman
was a parody. What do you mean how do you
not know he was a parody? Oh he's kidding, right,
I would hope sood that's funny and burning the Wolf.
I mean he wasn't a real draft analyst. Well, I
don't think you appreciated when he used to make fun
of his his mother's sexual exploits and that coach from

(01:24:28):
Southwest Texas State that was using the Walmart carts to
train his players. He wasn't real either. Oh my goodness. Yeah,
I wouldn't want to say yeah, yeah that. I think
some people thought it was real. I believe there's something,
you know, like some people that asked, he see guy

(01:24:49):
was real? Don't give aoid?

Speaker 8 (01:24:52):
What are you?

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
Are you a k fabit here or what are you doing? Okay?
I'm sorry, am I breaking wrestling? Look at you? K
fabit over here? Is that what it's called yeah, what
does that mean? That means breaking the rules, telling behind
the scenes stuff. Okay, say it again. It's called k fae. Look,
it's a wrestling thing. It's a wrestling term. I don't
know who the origins are, but it says where people
have to pretend it's real. Like, what's the most unreal

(01:25:14):
thing we've done on this show? Ungenuine? This is genuine, man,
we are who we are the all What was you
said that? The all of your apologies? Oh wait a minute,
those are authentic? What is he saying? He said the
the first one the playoffs that can't get swept. There
we no games that or no game said? Oh yeah,
that was wrong? Was he said there would be no

(01:25:35):
game sevens? There were two? There were two. I was
closer to zero than seven of them. And there's not
gonna be seven game seven? Don't know that. It's kind
of there's I'm gonna bet you there's never been seven
game seventh in the first round. That was the case.
The NBA is like, we making some serious money for real.
Twelve twenty eight on Sports Talk seven on one Hour
from Now, we have non Florida stories. Ross, Where are
your non Florida stories from uh? Is that today? Yeah?

(01:25:56):
And from outside of Florida? All right?

Speaker 8 (01:25:59):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:25:59):
I have who to my story is from Vatican City
with junking on my two kidding? I have one from
Let's see where the stories give me? One one from Springfield, Ohio,
and another one is uh from Let's see where this is?

Speaker 2 (01:26:17):
From?

Speaker 4 (01:26:18):
This?

Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
I think it's from Austin, No les in Kentucky. I'm
going on to same thing. It is tomato tomato seven
one three two one two. You want me to loan
you one? I can loan you a non Florida store
if you'd like. This isn't real?

Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:26:32):
Which one papal concliff so heated, it erupted into fistfight,
leaving leaving cardinal with broken bones. That's not true. As
MSN dot com, that's you can probably figure.

Speaker 14 (01:26:44):
This is the thing.

Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
When you look up non Flora stories, you gotta get
multiple sources because a lot of times this is fake news. Yeah.
Seven one three two one two five seven. Ross Dellinger
on Twitter is a Yahoo Sports college football writer. Last night,
he says that the four Power Commissioners held an in

(01:27:08):
person meeting in New York to discuss several issues, including
a future playoff format that could ultimately result in an
expansion of the College Football Playoff ROSSI from twelve to
either fourteen or sixteen teams sixteen. That's horrible. So basically

(01:27:32):
we're going to go from the college football season is
going to last as long as the college football playoff
season will last. That's ridiculous. Here's how it would go. Man,
if you went to sixteen four guaranteed SECS four guarantuarantee
guaranteed SEC SEC four guaranteed Big twelve. Really check that

(01:27:57):
Big ten. Check that guaranteed a SECS four guaranteed Big ten. Yes,
that makes more sense. Two guaranteed ACC's two guaranteed Big twelves,
one guaranteed group of six three at large. I don't
like the guarantees. Why because the SEC and the Big

(01:28:22):
ten is swinging a bigger stick, are saying, do you
know what we bring to the table, and if you
don't play by our rules, we're going to create our
own little playoff without you goodbye. In the ESPN will
pay for it. Now, here's the last part of the
donor say, maybe I need to help me comprehend. He
said the very end of his tweety says with season
ending interleague playing games third place versus six, fourth versus fifth,

(01:28:51):
that I can't comprehend. Four teams have to have playing
games either between the candidate. It's of you have to
play to get in if you're the fourth best SEC team.
It says, with season ending inner league playing games third
place versus six, fourth versus fifth. I got, We're gonna

(01:29:16):
have to do some checking on.

Speaker 7 (01:29:17):
So that means the SEC SEC tournament is it's pointless now,
isn't it the conference tournaments?

Speaker 1 (01:29:21):
Now we're talking football here. Conference championship. Yeah, yeah, uh no,
I don't think. I don't think the SEC football Championship
would be mood at all. It would probably it would
for sure guaranteed teams are guaranteed a playoff, would be
able to get a higher seed. Yeah, but you don't
even get a buy Now that's ridiculous. If if well
could this, would you do a sixteen team with a

(01:29:42):
bye round? I guess I have to I have to
look at the bracket three, six, four, five, Yeah, I
guess is what you would play sixteen unless you're doing
I don't even know what you're doing. Multiple buys. Yeah,

(01:30:03):
I need uh uh yeah, it's confusing on this. Also,
by the way, not related to this, the SEC is
contemplating going to a ninth game in conference, which they
should I think, which you know who says we want
you to do that ESPN. ESPN is going to bump

(01:30:27):
up their dollar amount to put a ninth game on
because it does them more good to put on Georgia
versus say, Vanderbilt than it would be Georgia versus Acron.
These non conference are embarrassing and from everybody across the board.
I mean, it's basically three massive cupcakes and then one
good non conference because the SEC made that rule. So
let's put this way. You're going to a chance to

(01:30:48):
improve your power index whatever you know, your your stature,
and ESPN is gonna give you more money to put
a game to just go from eighth to nine. If
I'm the SEC, I don't care what the coach say.
If I'm the president of these schools or I'm the commissioner,
oh hell yeah, You're gonna play nine conference games, sorry, Charlie.

(01:31:09):
And it frankly would grow. It would give you tremendous
interest in your league for a one additional week. Do
you know who doesn't care about the SEC. When Alabama
plays Nichols. Yeah. For example, Texas starts at Ohio State,
then they go to San Jose State, I mean not
go to they of course play at home San Jose State,
UTEP and Sam Houston. You get one of those three goodbye. Yeah. Absolutely,

(01:31:34):
So you have two guarantees. You probably are required to
play a Power five and the other third. Yes, and
you play non conference games. You know what? To me,
guess what that kind of makes sense. That's fair, It's
very fair, and I frankly I would if I was
every conference in America, I would do it. If I'm
the Big Twelve, why don't you go run to Fox,

(01:31:55):
Go tell them you want to We'll give you. We'll
give you now. They don't know. Look, obviously the Big
Twelve has not carried the same cachet that say the
SEC are the Big ten does. But if you're if
you're a Fox and who else, if you're ESPN, you can.

Speaker 4 (01:32:10):
Give me.

Speaker 1 (01:32:12):
Colorado versus Houston for an extra week, or you want
to give me Colorado versus Wyoming. I mean, what what's
gonna draw some more interest?

Speaker 4 (01:32:22):
You?

Speaker 1 (01:32:22):
You want conference matchups? And if I'm these TV networks.
I would not insist on it, but I'm like, we're
going to make it worth your financial while. Don't turn
this down. And it looks like the SEC's not, so
they're gonna vote on it this summer, and I think
it is the right thing to do to go to
non conference games. Yeah, I'll just look at Georgia's schedule.
They play Georgia Tech every year, so that's their power

(01:32:42):
non conference, right, and then they play Marshall, Austin p
and Charlotte. Yeah, ninth conference game. Let's do it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:54):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:32:54):
The only thing that's going to hurt for them is
you're going to potentially for half those well all those
schools half one year, they're gonna lose a home game
instead of Texas scheduling, would you say San Jose State
and everybody else? You go from three, well, you go
from probably at least six home games. Now if you're
playing a twelve game, you're probably going from seven home

(01:33:15):
games to minimum six. Sometimes so many yearsual have seven.
But you know, because you're going to schedule the two Pancakes,
you're going to do it in your home court on field. Well, hell,
one year you could, you could, you could probably if
you really get lucky. You could have all the games
at home, your three, your three non conference games, all
being in your own statepending on how it works out

(01:33:35):
with home and homes right paying guys, When then games
are you're cutting checks? Man, the SEC. You know what, folks,
the SEC don't don't screw up. They just don't. All
they do is they have They're in bed with ESPN,
and ESPN says, well, to keep giving you more money,
just keep giving us quality material and Franklin, when you
are the most powerful conference in sports, they don't disappoint.

(01:33:58):
When have we ever had now? Again, I'm not saying
that everybody is a fan of every school in the SEC,
but when does the SEC ever go, God, what you're
giving us, this is your premier game of the week.
It very rarely happens.

Speaker 4 (01:34:10):
Yeah, And.

Speaker 1 (01:34:13):
This is crazy to me because when is enough enough?
When is enough money? Enough money? How does this just
keep happening? Who are the people that are running this
and saying, you know, I understand how it happens. And
you know, the corporate world, you have very ambitious people
who end up rising to the top, and you know
that's a fauce that you can't turn off. That makes
sense to me. In the business world, college athletics that's happening.

(01:34:38):
That's crazy to me that it just keeps happening more
more more. There it said, well, BCS is fine, we're
not gonna expand boom. Then we go to four. Now
we go to make the big leak to twelve and
now already with a couple of years of it's been
one year of twelve, right correct, one year of twelve
and fun.

Speaker 4 (01:34:54):
It was fun.

Speaker 1 (01:34:55):
I like the teams getting buys. I don't like the
automatic buys for like the Boise State Broncos or whatever.
But I like the idea of a team who goes
the whole season and wins their conference, getting a week
off to a look they're wins to be not have
to be be out there and be uh, I possibly
lose a game and now you're just gonna go to

(01:35:17):
sixteen or however they're gonna format it. I guess if
they're still gonna do buys. It's weird, but it's all
just for more money. It's more money. The only nobody
needs to ask why. The reason is they want more
money from ESPN. You know what, you can blame the
ESPN all you want to guess what ESPN does. They
kick the tires with their sponsors. Yeah, and I'm blaming
ESPN really in the insurance companies, the car dealers, the

(01:35:38):
beverages say oh yeah, I want to see a lot
of Jake from rate RM because Ray from Rake from
rate RM flow. See you clearly is getting value from this.
We put our ads on in those games and people
use us because that's how advertising works. If if you're

(01:36:00):
not getting results, you stop advertising.

Speaker 14 (01:36:04):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:36:05):
ESPN must have gone to the SEC and said, you
give us a ninth game, gives us an extra one
or two weeks of games, We'll make it up to
you giving you more money. That more money's coming from advertisers,
and said, you know what we need as much as possible.
Look Auburn, Alabama Captive. It's America Ross. Name another regional

(01:36:26):
rivalry that does that. Michigan, Ohio State does it. But
Texas Texas A and m Techno oh U Texas does yes,
but playing each other's biggest ride. We're talking about ten,
We're talking about six or seven rivalries. Does U C
L A U C U S E Captain in America?

Speaker 2 (01:36:44):
Not really?

Speaker 1 (01:36:45):
Does Washington? Washington State. No, don't hit on the Apple Cup.
Does Oregon Oregon State do it? Nope? But there's someone
There's so many good football teams in the SEC. And
this is again, while I would never be grudge players
for trying to get as much money as possible, because
these presidents and officials and athletic directors do the same. Well,

(01:37:10):
everybody's getting money now. Yeah, it's a free for all
except Nick Saban wants a curtail it. That's why him
and his buddy from Lubblick are gonna be the co
chairs of the NIL oversight. Cool, so they do. I
think even if this doesn't happen. Now, this is kind
of the soft lob. This is member how I talked

(01:37:31):
about eighteen game schedule for the NFL for years. Then
it's gonna go in increments. They're smart, you know, it's
like a negotiation. You make a big offer and then
you meet him in the middle. So they're gonna they're
gonna kind of float this out, get people used to
the idea, and then probably within the next few years
if it doesn't happen immediately, which it might. Well, see,
I felt it went from sixteen to seventeen, but they
were all thinking all the way through it was gonna
be eighteen. It's gonna be eighteen eventually. Twelve forty five,

(01:37:54):
we're forty five minutes away from non Florida stories, one
hour and change away from Believe it or not, Hell
yeah or not things about New Pope twelve forty five,
Sports Talk seven nine eighty. You got a perfect response
or question we asked earlier, and that was if we
said that Nick Asseio was the king of word salad,

(01:38:15):
who's the prince? The prince according I want to give
the guy a shout out here on Twitter for getting
it correct us at tech Scott Tex Scott, He's right,
it's uh brock Osswater. That was a good one. We
said that it is introductory press conference. Is like, I

(01:38:36):
don't know how this is gonna go. He sounds like
a used car salesman, and he was yeah. And then
when you'd ask him, why'd you go eleven for twenty
three with three picks? He'd give you this when you know,
some of my passes went too tall and something I
gotta be better. Some of the receivers got it. It
was just like this is just endless. It used to

(01:38:58):
be very important to me when I was younger in
sports casting to hear from the athletes. Mm hmm. I
really care about what the athletes tell me anymore. I
just do because they just they never give me what
I'm really answering. And it's just this mealy mouthed word, salady,
long winded, long answer, That's what I'm like. I mean,

(01:39:20):
We've been very lucky over the show over the years.
AJ was phenomenal, Dusty was cranky at times, good storyteller.
I think Joe is a little more measured, but at
least Joe will answer your questions good saying I can't
answer that. Yeah, we can go for him a little bit.
AJ was the goat, loved dan TONI e May answers

(01:39:42):
every thing we ask. He's great, doesn't shy away, doesn't
mince words. No, we're very lucky. So I would say,
when we have athletes on and players on, we try
to select the woes that the best of their ability
can give us stuff that wouldn't be stuff that would
bore you ultimately death. And that's and I think a
part of that is because I think these PR firms

(01:40:02):
are measuring their athletes and also a lot of the
athletes frankly want to go to their own podcast and
yell and scream and swear to get their own clicks.
But then they all they don't last very long. So yeah,
some of them do, some have done. Okay, Raymon's doing great.
I guess I don't watch it, but seems to be
he's still going with that. Apparently Shannon Sharp still got
a to He's getting one hundred million dollar offer. Club

(01:40:23):
the Club Shay Sheha is a club in trouble. Hey, yeah,
what's the latest on that? Did you also see not
to get off of sports, but you know where a
sports where sort of a sports show? Did you see
the stories about Smokey Robinson? What happened? You haven't seen this? No,
what's Smokey Robinson up to? Smokey's gotta be what eighty

(01:40:45):
seventy five or eighty let me look eighty five? Okay,
for about a fIF Smokey, No, look, don't look to
want to tie for about fifteen years, give or take.
There's allegedly a group of women who were his his housekeepers, maids,
whatever you want to call them, cleaning ladies. Let's say

(01:41:07):
that he was sexually harassing them. This is sexually assaulting.
Oh excuse me, that's right, not a harassment assault basically rape. Yes,
And that they were underpaid, well well below averages, that
Smokey's wife created a hostile work environment, that Smokey would
lure these women in and would go meet me in

(01:41:30):
the other rooms where there's no cameras. He did this
for like fifteen years, and now they're I mean, Smokey
Robinson is one of my fave FA fave fave performers.

Speaker 2 (01:41:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:41:47):
Not only great as a performer. I mean he wrote
a lot of those Motown hits that you heard. He
was the in house writer. He wrote those songs. I mean,
who are we supposed to trust Bill k Be comedian actor,
America's Gobert, America's dad. I mean Smokey Robinson. I'm sure

(01:42:12):
we go with some other names that I'm just not
thinking of. Right off the top, here Jane does one
through four. There's four women, Yes, assaulted at least one
one woman at least twenty three times. They were worried
about their immigration status. O, my god, what now? Yeah,
he bullied them and stuff. Yeah, and she bullied him
to missus Robinson did, I mean when I saw that

(01:42:41):
I was like, come on, not Smoky, not tears of
a clown. So not to get a Debbie down. Aren't
you here? But God, can't we just be somewhat normal?

(01:43:01):
That's crazy? Sorry, Smokey, what was I going with this?
I don't know. I don't know. I hadn't seen that.
Thanks for really bringing me down on a Friday, Matt.
But in all honesty, it makes you not want to
play Smokey in the car. I get it. I don't
play R Kelly anymore. There's another example, R Kelly. I mean,

(01:43:26):
who's next? I mean, who's the next surprise going to be?
I don't know. Oh you should even mention names, but
because it would be fair, I don't speculate men. Yeah,
that's how rumors get started, no kidding. Do you hear
what happened on the sports show? That's how defamation lawsuits
get started. Yeah, we're not gonna do that. Smokey and
still consist he was in town not too long ago.
Didn't then somebody we knew when you saw saw him?

(01:43:50):
Was he eighty five?

Speaker 2 (01:43:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:43:52):
He was still talking, Smokey. Well, actually he had to
start another tour to pay for his lawyer fees. It's
just it's just it's hard to fathom. That's crazy. It's
hard to fathom. All right, seven one three two one
two five, seven nine. If you want to jump into
the conversation, not about this, because we don't want to
talk about Smokey Robinson, but my point is this seven

(01:44:13):
one three two one two five seven ninety seven one
three two one two five seven. And do you know
by the next week and middle week we will know
the NFL schedule?

Speaker 2 (01:44:22):
Cool?

Speaker 1 (01:44:23):
Do you know how much we can cuss and discuss
about the NFL schedule? I'm good. We already know the opponents. Yeah,
but we don't know the times and dates. Okay, we
do have to speculate, and guess we do this every year.
How many primetime games I'll go over? Now, we shouldn't
say standalone. Yeah, it could be as the New Yeah,

(01:44:44):
it could be a Netflix Saturday two thirty kind of thing. Yeah.
I think it's three. Okay. Matter of fact, I want
proper credit if I hit it right on the head. Okay,
I want proper credit if I hit over. But give
us a give us the money. Was the last year
was a five?

Speaker 12 (01:45:00):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:45:01):
Yeah, I want to say it was, wasn't it Monday
night game. You had the three sounds possible. Yeah. By
the way, a lot of rumors about all these international games.
I don't see anything involved in the Texans. Just she
had a bank playing overseats. I thought you wanted to
go to jolly old London and check them out. Mmm, no,
I'm not good. Let's say here's potential primetime games. They

(01:45:24):
play the Ravens, yes, Broncos yeah, yes, yeah, yeah, Chiefs
charges yep, Rams nope, Seahawks nope, Buccaneers no, Amazon Prime,
Thursday Prime. Yeah. I mean I think Buccaneers Texans could

(01:45:47):
be a Monday nighter. Baker Mayfield and CJ. Shroud. That's
actually true. You know what, the only ones that are
not ready for prime time or probably tennesse Southeast. No
one wants to see Colts Versus Texans and Cardinals Cardinals
Texans p probably not. But they're playing the AFC West,
the NFC West, and then they have a first place

(01:46:08):
go oh fis like a lot of three twenty five
games or three oh five games, just saying I will
go over three, but you could be right, all right?
Final lie with the Matt Thomas Show of Ross continues
in a matter of moments. If anything goes Friday, we
have the Astro starting a weekend series of the Reds.
We'll get to some Astro baseball conversation. Next twelve fifty
seven Sports Talk seven.

Speaker 9 (01:46:26):
Ninety is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Friend of
the show, Aaron just texted me.

Speaker 1 (01:46:38):
He said, Hey, three of the Texans road games are
on the West Coast this year, so we will not
have a long streak of noon games in theory. Yeah,
and it'll either be three oh five, three twenty five
or night games, either on Sunday night, Thursday night, or

(01:46:58):
Monday night. Yeah, Rams Larchers. What's the other one? Seahawks
got some long flights. Oh, Seattle is like four and
a half. I have not been to Seattle in a
long time. I don't know what it's like anymore. Lovely,
I went there three Yeah, I've been to Portland many times. Obviously,

(01:47:20):
had had a Seattle style I went to the twenty
team Oval Park, Okay, had a Seattle style dog. Did
you need the caterpillars or no? No, I didn't eat.
I forgot the whole time I was there. I forgot
to eat the crickets. I would have I would have
tried them. Okay, so Texans schedule. What the Seattle style
dog is? Is that some sort of seafood on it? Crab? No,

(01:47:40):
it's grilled onions and cream cheese. It sounded like I
was like, all right, fine, I'll try it. When in Rome,
I was like, this does not sound good. Old cream
cheese are warm. No, it's hot. They they they put
it on the hot dog and it's it's it's hot.
It's good. It's actually I'm not a huge cream cheese fan. Yeah,
only cheesecake. Yeah, cream cheese on a bagel?

Speaker 2 (01:48:03):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:48:04):
What no, yeah, I'm no no, no, no, it's okay.
No rip on me for that one. I'm not ripping.
Should you showp do what you want? I put butter
on my bagel. Yeah, butter's good. But no cream cheese.
But I will eat some cream cheese. It just has
to be. It's in very small doses, but not not
not on my no on my bagel, but crackers and

(01:48:24):
cream cheese and some raspberry jam. Delicious. Yes, I'll put
if you put the jam on, I'll have a little
bit of that. Okay. Yeah yeah, well if you put
a hot dog and onions on it, what's I'm saying.
I mean, now it's actually good. Now you want me
to try the only thing about worry about Seattle's but
ballpark is it? It doesn't it sort of has a roof. Yeah,
but it's beautiful. But it's on the sides. It's not covered.
So if it's forty eight degrees, which it can be

(01:48:45):
in Seattle, it could be pretty chilly. Yeah, beautiful ballpark,
I like, could be in comfort. Are you serious? Natural
elements a little over? I mean lands m colors in
the same situation, put every ball paw park closed. Yeah,
that's right. You don't like camping or doing anything outdoors
really that much. I like, uh like waterfront cabins. So
there you go, all right seven one three two one

(01:49:07):
two five seven seven ninety seven one three five seven
one three two one two five seven nine zeros and
it goes Friday, final hour the show Now Flourida stories
and a half an hour. I've got two this week
by the research apartment. You know what you shore up
for me? Awesome, y'all people sent me some actually, I
appreciate you. King good. Okay, so the Texans will have
people think that, oh somebody said the Chargers game could

(01:49:27):
be in Brazil. I think we do need to wait
on that. I guess that would count as a standalone game. Yeah,
it would be. Uh and uh that Brazil game is
going to be apparently a YouTube game free of charge. Okay, good,
what was gonna say. I mean, I know RUU TV.

(01:49:47):
You try really hard to get me on, but you
your sports package, so I get to offer from them.
I have a Google TV. Yeah, so every time I
open the TV, basically I get an offer from them.
They sign up. You don't have Space City. You're not
to win, you don't win, shut your bum mass up,
so you get Space City Home Network.

Speaker 2 (01:50:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:50:03):
Maybe we can talk if you want to. If you
want to get Space City, we can talk. But until then,
no agreed. All right, So uh so maybe three in
and Nash three standalone games. Maybe two or three three
o'clock three twenty five games then, but you know you're
obligatory ten or eleven noons. Okay. I like three twenty

(01:50:24):
five games me too, because I feel like the matchup
is better typically typically, but I also typically I must
sleep for the first thirty minutes of them. Well, three
twenty five, I'm usually brown three to three twenty five
is when I get my Sunday afternoon nap in yes,
because at that point you're only missing the first quarter
of the second game. Yeah, and then you wake up

(01:50:44):
at half time in your game starts right at three.
It's a bad matchup. Yeah. Three twenty five is when
the good ones are wrong. You're get a good thirty
minute nap. If you're a three zero five game, you're like,
you're the it's because you're playing the Cardinals. You know
exactly exactly right, They're not going to put you in
as a whole lot. And you can here Scott Hanson
on Red Zone and your dream, so you don't miss
a whole lot.

Speaker 13 (01:51:03):
You're good.

Speaker 1 (01:51:04):
I kind of miss Andrew Sicilian. I don't do it that.
I thought he was really good at it. I'm a
I'm a Scott Hansoon guy through and through, but I
mean it still cili on his fine. Well he's not
doing anymore. I know he's the voice that for everyone
now right. Yeah, Well, because Direct TV lost the package
the Sunday ticket. By the way, I made an executive decision.
I'm gonna pay. I'm gonna pay for the YouTube non ads.
How much I don't know, but I'm gonna do it.

(01:51:25):
I explain my ad blocker, but I can't. I can't
get add blocker on my phone, can you? I don't.
I honestly don't know. If you want a virus, yeah, well, yeah,
you can't do it on here for the YouTube app. Yeah,
that's what I'm looking for, all right. Astro start a
weekend series tonight with Cincinnati. M do you let me.

(01:51:46):
I'm gonna give you just a good old fashioned generic
statement about the Astros the rest of the way, or
at least for the next couple of months. I think
if they hang around, meaning within four or five games
of first place, and right now they're four back of Seattle,
A's are in second place, which is stunning. They are

(01:52:09):
seven and eleven at home, and they are thirteen and seven,
fourteen and seven on the road, thirteen seven in the road.
They must really hate playing in Sacramento. Imagine they had
a ballpark they actually fans cared about him. Back to
my point, if they hang within five, do you feel
like the Astros we really won't see the season start
in theory like the real best of the Astros until

(01:52:30):
they make a move, because I get the general sense
that who this team is. I mean, you would hope
that Jordan would come back and it boostes ops. Yeah,
I think his hand being healthy, it'll be huge. I mean,
is Yan are gonna ops nine hundred to equal out

(01:52:52):
his numbers? I mean, I think Painius establish himself as
basically the leadoff guy. My guess is the days of
jose L Twove being aner OPS guy has gone. I
think my guess is camp Smith's gonna continue to kind
of labor through his rookie campaign. Descenzo will give you
a little bit. I think Christian Walker's got room to
maneuver up his his numbers because you know he's done it.

(01:53:14):
But if you really want to get into the the wow,
I want to see what the Astra are doing every
single night, and I really think they're gonna get into
this matchup. I think the pitching staff's gonna be fine again.
He gotta you gotta cut your starting rotation down because
you're gonna be burning your bullpen up. Man, do you
feel like that they that they we really can't sink
our teeth into what this team could be until they

(01:53:36):
actually do decide, hey, we've got to improve it. A
certain position in the in the lineup. They may do that.
I don't expect it, because again, they don't have a
whole lot to give up now. It would be later on,
of course, I would think closer to deadline, they're gonna
give it some time, They're gonna let it shake out. Well.
You can always, of course, point two last year and
how they're ahead the schedule of where they were last year,

(01:53:58):
and guys are gonna heat up, and it can happen
in the matter of a couple of weeks. And I'll
use two names that are off this team who are
thriving right now, funny enough, and that would be Kyle
Tucker and Alex Pregman. Alex Bregman. It was every year.
Kyle Tucker, it was a couple of years here and
there where he would be off to very poor cold
starts of seasons, and then it really only takes to
make your numbers average out. I'll point to Jake Myers

(01:54:20):
and what he did within a week to where his
ops went from like six under six hundred. Here here
it is. He was at five eighty eight on May
excuse me, April twenty ninth, this ten days ago, and
he got up to eight hundred. May fourth, So with

(01:54:42):
the span of six days, he went from under six
hundred to over eight hundred. So we we're That's what
I'm saying is that we're early enough into the season
to where a hot week of Christian Walker can get
his numbers right, a hot week of Jose Altuve or
Jordan Alvarez. The problem is is I just have to
name a when I can see a hot week, I'm saying,

(01:55:02):
you on our Diaz all these I have to name
half the team. So is it gonna come from all
of those guys? We hope so, But the reality really
is you got five guys on that you can't expect
all five in the minute they're gonna That's the thing.
That's that's the problematic thing. Is it all of the
or they just having underperforming years, or is there something
going on that we don't know about. Somebody tweak to

(01:55:23):
the knee or an ankle or like your Don had
been dealing with this hand. We didn't know about it,
and we're like, what's going on out there? So we
hit c IL So I don't know. I want. I
keep wanting to believe, and it is still early, we
keep saying, but it's getting laterly, somebody's The reality is
the more hitting, the longer the Jake Myers leaves a
team in OPS, the longer the ass unless he is

(01:55:47):
just gonna be literal all Star. If you play center
field like he does in OPS eight hundred, that's All
Star candidate. Seriously, I don't think it's gonna stick. But
right now you're doing well. Man. By the way, Uh, friend,
I don't know if he wants me to announce it,
but somebody that listens to the show quite frequently, friend
of the show, says that it would be very unlikely
the Texans going international this year. Okay, thank you, friend,

(01:56:14):
And it doesn't matter to me. I mean, the only
thing that is, I'm not going eight in the morning
seems really it's hard to really skitch your I mean,
I mean I can have a bowl of eities and
knockoff as in the NFL football, I get it. But
most time, if you're watching eight thirty games, it's involving
the Jaguars and the Jets. Yeah. I'm the worst morning
person on the planet, so I don't like it. Yeah,

(01:56:35):
I literally will go downstairs, go on the couch, put it,
flip it on to the couch, and then kind of
half fall asleep or see see how long I can
stay up Brazil if it's a game. I'm surprised they
are going back to Brazil because of the fact that
they people hated the whole thought of Brazil at Yeah,
they thought they were going to be unsafe, but there,
I don't know, was fine incidents. I don't know. Clearly,
you can't have that many people go to a country.

(01:56:57):
And I'm only seen one international game in my life,
and that was the Order. It's against the Cowboys in
a preseason game in Mexico City, and it sucked. Didn't
you get the runs?

Speaker 4 (01:57:05):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:57:06):
But I get the runs in Houston too, So don't
don't drink the water, folks. I had those flaming Doctor Pepper's,
oh Lordie flaming something else too. I'm trying to think
it's I'm not a I'm not a huge international person.
I mean, if I never travel overseas out it won't
be that bad for me. But what would I want

(01:57:28):
to What would I want to go see the Texans
play a game? I don't know. Spain doesn't anything for me.
Australia would be if you went to Australia it'd probably
cost you two weeks. Two in a week, is giving
a jetlag take you a couple of days to recover
each way? Yeah, cause you take you two days to
get there and two days to get back. In theory,
what I want to go see them play? Well, I

(01:57:48):
don't know the super Bowl? Maybe you know some kind
of funny though. I would love for that to happen
because a certain thing you said would be wrong. It
would be wrong, and Hannah would get her stadium a
lot faster, That's true. That's at you would not believe
how fast the stadium would be improved. They went to
a super Bowl and then they that's maybe that's what

(01:58:10):
they need to wait for, put it up for a vote,
bonds and all that stuff. Totally. I bet you even
Harris County would give a name about at that point.

Speaker 7 (01:58:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:58:19):
By the way, did I give you the definitive spot?
I think I did it. I know I've done it
all fair, what's that? I don't think this is going
to happen, But I'm about when I come back, I'm
gonna give you the definitive spot for the training center
and the new stadium. And is it Harris County? Okay,
I'm intrigued, and you're gonna say, hmm, I should have
thought of that. Uh Okay, I got the I got

(01:58:41):
the definitive spot in Harris County where the Texans should
build their new facility wonderful one fourteen on Sports Talk
seven ninety one eighteen on Sports Talk seven ninety all right,
the definitive spot. Now, I don't know if there's enough
real estate over there. You know, you'd have to do
a little bit of chopping down and getting rid of
and maneuvering streets and whatnot. Harris County, Northwest Mall. Reason

(01:59:11):
for that one, That mall's just sitting there. That's gotta
be some anchorage. I don't know how many of what
that is. Two. A lot of those places in and
around Northwest Mall, I mean, not the greatest places. Third,
you'd be close enough to the city and close enough
to one of your most affluent suburbs, the Cypress area

(01:59:34):
two ninety and six' Ten Northwest. Mall, okay Hell canna
hell like, canna that's what they call. Them it's like Brain. Ngelina,
Yeah brandifer Cal. Hannah that PRESIDENT i don't don't know his.
Name trust me this if you're gonna do it In Harris,
county WHICH i don't know if you're gonna be able
to do it In Harris coonty Because Harris kinty may
tell you to shut your bob masses. Up but that's

(01:59:57):
the spot to do. IT i have a. Question is
that ENOUGH A it may not. Be you'd have to
obviously tear down some things over. There there is actually
it looks like a high school stadium right over. There
you just play. There, well you, know a part of
the deal is you tear the high school stadium down
and you give them the you let them play there
On friday. Nights that could. Work, yeah you, know was

(02:00:18):
It turner over?

Speaker 2 (02:00:18):
There It's?

Speaker 1 (02:00:19):
Turner is that what it? Is it's a dire. OR
i Guess. Delmar it used to Be, Delmar, Yeah Delmar Field, house,
Right Delmar. Stadium, yeah you guys know What i'm talking.
About that's if you were to go To Harris. County
that's my. Recommendation granted you'd have to get probably a
sweetheart Deal Delmar Sports complex and tear all that, down

(02:00:40):
Tear Northwest mall. Down that's got to be municipal land then, right,
yep that's All i'm telling. You but IF i was
Going Harris, county that's WHERE i would go because you're
not in the. City oh there's A dmv right. There
that's nice when you're. Drivers by the, way do you
get your driver's? License? All my passport expires In, OCTOBER

(02:01:02):
i need. TO i did get a new driver's ice
with a. Star they told me it was gonna be.
Sixty already had one with a. Star but it's kind
Of i'm, legit, Right, yeah you're good, man, man how.
Handsome mine's just a little. Cracked mine was, cracked SO
i had to order a new. One, oh, okay got
you all? Right so they, go do you think you
Think i'm? Nuts in The, NORTHWEST i think you're. NUTS

(02:01:23):
i don't. Know it doesn't seem like there's enough. ACREAGE
i don't know exactly where they'd find the like that
exact plot of land or that. AREA i think that
exact plot of. LAND i think you get rid of Del,
mar you get rid of all that, area you get
rid OF i, mean you'd be close to. Freeways doesn't
seem just just my naked eye looking at the amount
OF nrg in the space there is and the amount
of space. There it doesn't look like it's big. Enough you're,

(02:01:45):
Right you're probably, Right BUT i, mean, yeah you're close
To Memorial, Park you're close to the golf, course you're
close to uh you, know two ninety, adjacent sixten. Adjacent
that's not the worst Idea i've ever heard from. YOU i,
MEAN i got worst ideas. Coming don't, worry many years
left of the. Show so, oh it's right Near Carbock.
Brewing wonderful sponsor here On Sports talk seven. Ninety uh

(02:02:08):
my second. Spot i'd have to. Think, NOW i don't
go to Sugar land that, often SO i don't. Know
but tell, me if you're gonna go, outside let's go
Four Pane. COUNTY i would then, go what's next To Smart?
Financial is there enough space over? There i'd have to
pull that. Up some of the concert hall over? There,

(02:02:28):
yeah you know the lot of space over the Ex, yeah,
okay but you know what the number one? Space it
really frankly of it looks like there's a, well there's
u of h Sugar land is over, there BUT i
didn't even know that. Exists don't even count, that even
though that was Sorry, land we don't count. You, yeah
there's a park and some residential stuff over, here but

(02:02:48):
it looks like there is a lot of. Land BUT i,
AGAIN i don't know if it's enough. Land it does
look like a ton of empty space over. There and
then after, THAT i, mean how much astro oral lands over?
There just sitting over. There but they're not going over,
THERE i CAN i can say With, baytown they're not

(02:03:10):
going To. Baytown any people with teeth actually go to the.
Games oh, man, What i'm, Sorry, baytown but you know
you don't have. TEETH a. Little it looks like there's
a lot of. Land if you go a little past Sugar,
land like then we're basically getting close To. Richmond cat's

(02:03:31):
too Far and my guess would be then you'd probably
want to go west towards The Kadi. Aeron i'm doing
some land. Prospecting. Matt, well they have to tear down
that home. Depot, no, no, no, no you can't tear down.
That the hardware stores are too. Important, okay there you.

(02:03:51):
Go this is just an. Idea, NOW i don't. Know,
now remember uh? What you have to have plenty of
lan because they're not building a facility just to make a.

Too you can't help yourself by all, Right Jonathan, hood

(02:16:53):
is your Non florida. STORY i got one coming From.

Speaker 7 (02:16:56):
England Ewynon balancine Was devin stated to discover on the
morning Of february twenty eighth that his beloved black twenty
Sixteen Honda Civic TYPE r had been stolen overnight the
termine that he would replace it with an identical. Ride
valentine told THE bbc that he searched until he could
find a perfect, match same color and, year even the

(02:17:17):
same custom exhaust.

Speaker 1 (02:17:19):
System all, right what's so crazy about? That but it
was a different bent.

Speaker 7 (02:17:22):
Number you just wanted the same, ride you, know so
nostalgia from the cell of The honda garage he spent
twenty six big. Ones as he's driving, home he notices something,
familiar then, again then including candy bar rappers and a tent.
Peg investigating, farther he finds out that THE Gp CARS
gps had had the logs stopped at his home and

(02:17:44):
those of his, partners and his partners and his partner's.
Parents so, basically ALL i ought to say he bought
his car.

Speaker 1 (02:17:51):
Again wait a, minute his car was stolen and he
re bought his own. Car so the technicians At.

Speaker 7 (02:17:57):
Honda the dealership were able to confirm that the vin
was fake and That valentine had in fact purchas his
own stolen. Car but that's crazy company to straighten out
whole situation. OUT i couldn't believe reading.

Speaker 1 (02:18:12):
This you you that guy bought his own stolen, Car
so they find the people that they stole.

Speaker 7 (02:18:20):
Originally, no they're saying the insurance companies that put about
because he just spent twenty six thousand the exact same.

Speaker 1 (02:18:25):
Car SO i guess he follow a claim when he got.
STOLEN i don't. Know, oh so he got the insurance
money off of. THAT i wonder if he's in.

Speaker 7 (02:18:31):
Trouble, well that's WHAT i guess he's what he's talking,
about because the police are working with him as, well
because they didn't even find out the guy who stole
the car ended up selling it to the diershop or
it got back to the door ship.

Speaker 1 (02:18:41):
Somehow so, really so here's the. Thing he got insurance
money because the car was, stolen so he's really not
out of any, money, right you would think.

Speaker 7 (02:18:55):
Why HE'S i guess he spent the exact same he
paid for it when he got the same car he had.
Before the same stock price at twenty six THOUSAND m
and drove it home like that day and drove It
homan realized all those. Things so imagine you sign that
contract for twenty six thousand just to realize it's just
exactly how you lost a year.

Speaker 1 (02:19:12):
AGO i WOULD i would want to actually spend more
time trying to find who stole my. Car that would
be just. Me and those are the non floor. Stories this,
